So, yeah, the overtime is still kicking my ass. I leave home at 8, I get home 12 hours later, and I don't feel like much other than the classics–aviation, martini, old fashioned, Manhattan, etc. Not much creativity these days. I do have a pretty bottle of Canton ginger liqueur that I'm playing with (more on that later this week, I hope), but that's it.
In other circumstances, the lady of Last Night's Dinner and I would have had great fun planning a pairings menu and then probably cross-blogging it, with her focusing on the food and me on the drink. Aaaaand, we'll probably do that some time. But not now alas. We had a couple ideas for simple pairings we could put together, but time just ran out.
But then Death stepped in.
Death and Company, to be precise. For months now, Jen and I have planned to check out this top-notch cocktail lounge, but something always got in the way. After a nice e-mail from Death's co-owner Dave Kaplan, though, we decided to finally check it out. Not only is Death's cocktail menu well regarded, but its food gets respect, too. I have to say, the folks at Death deserve every accolade.
Since we were going anyway, and since I wanted to write about Death for the blog, I figured why not combine the two with MxMo?
I started with the Oaxaca Old Fashioned–tequila, mezcal, agave nectar, Angostura, and an orange twist. Smoky and smooth. Jen got a Seelbach, made masterfully in the traditional way. With round two, we started the food courses. First up were a Roquefort salad and crab cakes with a bouillabaisse shooter. We enjoyed both, but the crab cakes were especially good, and the bouillabaisse shooter was delightfully creative. We paired gin cocktails with that course. Jen choose the Big Ben (gin, dry vermouth, Grand Marnier, and orange bitters) and I, the Red Baron (gin, Carpano Antica vermouth, Ramozotti Amaro, and maraschino).
More food, more drink. We next had jalapeño short ribs, marinated in pomegranate molasses and bourbon, and mac and cheese. For that, we hit the whisk(e)ys–Jen had the Morning After Fizz (Asyla blended scotch, a hint of absinthe, lemon juice, an egg white, and Peychaud's), while I had the Bushwick cocktail. Part of the Brooklyn borough of drinks, the Bushwick consists of rye, Carpano Antica vermouth, maraschino, and Amer Picon. (This Brooklyn family is worth a post of its own, so I won't delve in here.)
Just squeezing in under the deadline (it's seven minutes to Tuesday), so I'm going to post now and save further comments about Death & Co. until tomorrow or Wednesday.
Many thanks to Natalie for hosting!

Windsor Castle
Over 900 years of royal history are waiting for you in Windsor Castle, which is perched high above the River Thames just outside of London. From William the Conqueror all the way through to our current Queen, successive monarchs have lived here and left their mark on what is now the largest continuously occupied castle in the world. We shall be amongst the first people to enter Windsor Castle, so you can see for yourself the splendor of St. Georges chapel and the sumptuous state apartments. Windsor itself is a pretty town full of traditional shops and historic pubs. Shakespeare is said to have written his play The Merry Wives of Windsor in one of them!
1 March - 22 April 2019 (excl 22 March, 18 & 19 April)
The wedding outfits of HRH Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are displayed in Windsor Castle from 1 March. The Princess's wedding dress was designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, who in 2007 founded the British-based label Peter Pilotto, known for its innovative textile design.
Also included in the display are the maid-of-honour outfit of HRH Princess Beatrice of York, and, on display for the first time, the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara, which was lent to Princess Eugenie by Her Majesty The Queen.
Bath, another world heritage site. Bath is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. Following our panoramic tour of the city, there will be time to visit Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge overlooking the river Avon cascading over the weir. And you can shop, explore or take afternoon tea in the Pump Rooms while listening to the string quartet.
Your ticket includes entrance to the Roman Baths that were built nearly 2,000 years ago. Built on Britain's only natural hot water spring lies the magnificent Roman public bath complex and Roman temple. At the heart of the World Heritage Site you can walk around the steaming pool on the Roman stone paving and admire the ancient Roman statues and architecture.
The most famous prehistoric monument in the world, and now a world heritage site, Stonehenge stands alone in the vast empty tract of Salisbury plain. Its origins date back nearly 5,000 years and it has been home to pagan religion and spiritual worship, not to be mention public debate ever since. What was this vast collection of stones intended for? Was it observatory of the moon, a temple to the sun, or an elaborate cemetery? Who were the people who carried and carved these 40 ton rocks? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this remarkable and mysterious feat of ancient engineering and design.

Text and photography by Lee F. Mindel for Architectural Digest.
As a young architecture student immersed in my studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, I was perhaps unable to fully grasp the importance of my education. Or my surroundings. Last week, fellow architect and Harvard alum Reed Morrison and I revisited the campuses of Harvard -- the hallowed halls, haunts, common areas, and new structures reminding us why we had matriculated there in the first place. We also dropped by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and wandered around the great city of Boston, where many of our professors had designed and built some of the most influential buildings of the day. Their effect on me is immeasurable. Those teachers (especially Gerhard Kallmann, Joseph Zalewski, and Charles Correa), philosophers, artists, and historians taught me how to see, and for that I am deeply appreciative.

When practiced regularly, these activities result in a reduction in their levels of daily stress and a rise in feelings of joy and serenity. What's more, they also serve to protect the quality teaching you how to stay calm and collected in the face of curve balls of life.
You can not avoid stress, but you can counteract its negative effects on learning to evoke the relaxation response, a state of deep rest that is the polar opposite of the stress response.
Modern life is full of problems, deadlines, frustrations and demands. For many people, stress is so common that it has become a way of life. Stress is not always bad. In small doses, can help you with low weight and motivate to do best. However, at what point you are constantly running in emergency mode, the mind and body pay the price.
If you regularly find yourself feeling exhausted and snow below, it's time to take steps to balance your nervous system. You can protect manually by learning how to recognize signs and symptoms of stress and take steps to reduce its harmful effects.
A lot of clothing can cause pressure. You can feel the tension at what time to go to a job interview, an exam, or a career. This type of short-term stress are standard. In the long term (chronic) stress is caused by stressful situations or events that most recently during a long period of time, as damage to work or family conflicts.
The most common symptoms of stress are caused by the "fight or flight" response to their own bodies, which was never intended by nature to be used for long periods of time.
This response evolved to help at risk - whether to stay and fight or flee, these reactions involve both the body with chemicals and hormones to increase alertness and gives an instant boost of energy and strength.
Short-term "problems" that can be physically settled this chemical reaction is good and does not cause health problems as a human body. However most of the modern problems of today, the situations and problems are short term and can not be resolved with a simple physical re-actions.
Stress is the body's reaction to the body, so emotional, social or mental imposed on the person. These changes, either first class or bad, produces tension or stress. there's no way to avoid stress completely, injuries, weddings, meetings, childbirth, deadlines, bills to pay, or even go to a party is stressful. It's part of our everyday life and is very difficult to control, but there are situations in life that create an extraordinary amount of stress, things like overwork, death of relatives or friends, etc surgery, which in turn can be harmful for our health, leading to fatigue, headaches, backaches, muscle aches, stiff neck, loss of appetite, memory loss, low self- Reduced sexual desire, changes in sleep patterns, shallow breathing. the sum of all these up, resulting in a potential opportunity to become sick with a more severe illness, and things like high blood pressure, skin diseases, heart attacks, tumors and obesity.

Paul Haggis is a director and screenwriter who has garnered Academy Award attention with "Million Dollar Baby" and "Crash." He helped rejuvenate the James Bond franchise in the 2006 update to "Casino Royale." In "The Next Three Days," Haggis teams up with Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks in a crime thriller that delivers real excitement along with a solid dose of confusion.
Crowe plays a mild-mannered teacher at a community college and Banks plays his wife. She is a well-dressed business woman whose boss is found dead on the same day they both had a loud public argument. A stunning murder conviction sends the wife to prison for the crime. But the foggy screenplay leaves us wondering if she is guilty.
Crowe is slowly transformed from a wimpy teacher into a hard-charging commando to rectify this situation. He ends up jumping into Pittsburgh's criminal underground to get what he needs to spring his wife from jail. The build-up to his plan takes way too long to develop. But once the action starts, it's a heart-pounding ride all the way to the final curtain that will satisfy fans of the genre.
* All's 'Fair' in love and war
"Fair Game" is about a D.C. couple, Joe and Valerie (Sean Penn and Naomi Watts), who juggle careers, heavy business travel, and care of their young twins. They love and believe in their work and, as Valerie says, always try to "remember the truth."
Oh, yes. Valerie happens to be Valerie Plame, the now-infamous CIA officer whose identity was leaked in 2003 and triggered a storm of controversy as well as a federal investigation. Her husband, Joe Wilson, is a diplomat whose fact-finding mission to Niger refuted the White House's statements about Iraq's suspected arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.
Based upon Plame and Wilson's memoirs, this well-acted, intelligent film works especially well as a portrait of a marriage in severe crisis after it's thrust into the national limelight.
Doug Liman, who directed the "Bourne" trilogy, does his own camera work here. It is meant to give the film a documentary look but can distract from the drama to the point of causing motion sickness.
Whatever your politics, "Fair Game" makes for a riveting look back at a chapter of recent history that continues to push people's buttons.

The Resource Train
Clinical Trials: Making Them Work for You
January/February 2004
In the early 1980s, when AIDS began to descend upon our community, fear was everywhere. Innocent people were dying and modern day medicine failed at saving lives. The medical community began working to improve what was available in the way of medicines to help those who were fighting this disease. It was known from the start that a cure may not be found right away, but researchers were driven by the fact that therapies could be discovered to restore health and slow the disease process. With these newly discovered experimental treatments came opportunities for individuals to partake in clinical trials to help test the validity of the newly developed drug therapies. A lifeline was born, and for the first time there was hope through access to new therapies not widely available. Lives were saved and the success of the clinical trials benefited the community through the approval of the first drug therapy in 1987, AZT. Clinical trials played an important role in the history of AIDS, but it is even more crucial to understand that clinical trials are just as important to this fight as they were 20 years ago. It is through clinical trials that individuals receive access to options, ultimately influencing the direction of drug therapies for the greater community. Ironically, many people are still unsure what clinical trials are and how one can participate in clinical trials. This is a brief overview of clinical trials and how to decide if participating in one is right for you.
What Is a Clinical Trial?
AIDS clinical trials are research studies in which new therapies for HIV/AIDS are tested in humans. Before new drug therapies can become available to the community to treat HIV, they must be proven both safe and effective. Clinical trials are designed to test these therapies on humans in order to provide results to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval. However, the first step is not to test in humans. New therapies are subjected to laboratory tests and tests that involve animals. If the results from these tests are good, the drug treatment is then moved into a clinical trial to be put through more testing involving human beings. Clinical trials are divided into three steps or phases. The first phase determines the treatments safety, which is assessed by using a small group of people. Phase two tests if the treatment works. Phase three assesses the long-term results of the treatment in humans.
Clinical trials are carefully governed medical processes based on rules and guidelines known as a protocol. The protocol describes what types of patients may participate in the clinical trial, schedules of tests and procedures, drugs and dosages, and the length of the study. The protocol describes exactly how the trial will be carried out. Participants in a clinical trial must agree to be treated by the terms of the protocol. This is part of the informed consent of the clinical trial, which is a tool developed to protect the participant within the clinical trial. By law, the researchers must provide you with a full written description of the clinical trial to read and sign before you agree to participate in the clinical trial. It is important to review all the information given to you and understand exactly what you are agreeing to within the clinical trial.
Who Is Eligible for Participation?
The protocol defines the rules for participation in a clinical trial and each trial is unique in the requirements for participation. Some trials are specifically designed with one gender in mind, others sometimes require your CD4 or viral load count to be at a certain level, and still others are geared towards people who are currently not on any drug therapies. There are many different opportunities available and if you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, talk with your physician to find out what is available for you.
What Are the Benefits of Participating?
Are There Risks to Being Involved in Clinical Trials?
Should I Participate in a Clinical Trial?
Clinical trials definitely have the potential to not only benefit you, but also provide information to help the greater community. However, it is important to recognize potential risks associated with clinical trials. If you are considering participation in a clinical trial, you and your physician should discuss whether this is the best decision for your health. Here is a list of questions to consider when making your decision:
How to Find Information on Clinical Trials?
The following resources are available to you:
Metro Atlanta
Authors Note: The goal of this article is to provide a general overview of clinical trials and give resources to help you locate information about opportunities available. However, ultimately I would like to convey to all readers a sense of understanding of the importance of clinical trials and how crucial they are in the fight against AIDS, for without the hope provided through new developments, one could not even begin to imagine where we would be today.

Naparima College's Direct Voice Contact With Space Shuttle Columbia
Dev Gosine, 9Y4DG
Vice Principal- Naparima College
When the news of Space Shuttle Columbia's (NASA designator STS-58) successful launch broke, I started tracking it and religiously ran printed schedules for its Caribbean passes. After studying the data for some time, I noticed that the satellite track during the midday (EST) was from north to south. On closer examination, I realised that as the US was losing its window of communication with the satellite, mine was just opening up. This meant if the astronauts were at their amateur radio station, I would hear them and probably be able to contact them.
On the night of November 03, 1993, – after making contact with the shuttle several times during the week on voice and packet radio (digital communication), the idea struck. I telephoned the principal of the college, Dr. Allan Mc Kenzie and asked him if he would like to make history. Confused by the question, I explained my intention and his support did not require much negotiation. After the telephone discussion, I faxed his office all the "relevant" information I had on the shuttle mission and its "Space Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment" (SAREX) program. This information was passed on to the students during the morning "parade". Everyone was excited about the next few hours which were about to unfold.
The plan I had was to take some students to my home and using a telephone link-up and a speaker-phone at school, I would relay the entire proceedings throughout the school using its public address system. The "acquisition of signal" (AOS) of the shuttle was determined by a satellite tracking program, "Instant Track" and was calculated to be 12:47 pm.
I decided that the students should be selected from the Upper Sixth Form classes as they would have a better appreciation for the technology that awaited them. These students would have had both the theoretical and practical training from the Advanced Level Physics course.
Not wanting to appear too autocratic, the students were nominated and voted upon by their classmates. The criteria for nomination were intelligence, having an outgoing personality, and having good diction. After three students were voted in, the questions to the astronauts were then selected – again by nomination and voting….my only insistence was that the questions be realated to some part of the Physics syllabus. (At that age, students could be quite "creative" !!)
At about fifteen minutes before "high noon", we were homeward bound. One could not help but notice, as we were leaving the school compound, the mixed feelings by the students. On our way we stopped at the newspaper office to pick up some reporters and camera-men. We arrived at my home at about 12:20 pm. I gave the "guests" a brief explanation on the automatic antenna tracking system which would point to any satellite once it is over the horizon and the OSCARS (Orbitting Satellites Carrying Amateur Radio) including the PACSATS (Packet Radio or Digital Communication Satellites)
Around 12:30 pm we established the telephone links with the school and did the preliminary testing of audio levels with the school's audio-video technician. At 12:35 pm we went "live" via the telephone link-up. With the satellite tracking software ""Instant Track"" displaying a "real time" track of the Space Shuttle Columbia, a student gave, via the telephone link-up, the satellite's current position as it left the Hawaiian Islands, passes over California, Texas, Georgia and Florida, while counting down the time remaining for the acquisition of its signals.
One minute before acquisition of signals, the antennas automatically pointed at the horizon where the Shuttle was expected to begin its ascent. Seconds before the calculated AOS, I heard Space Shuttle Columbia's Bill Mc. Arthur. I recognised him from a voice contact the day before. With 150 W of power into a 15 dBd gain antenna (approximately 4 KW effective radiated power), I called, "KC5ACR this is school station 9Y4NC". The suffix "NC" represents Naparima College. The satellite had just come over the horizon and I heard Bill having quick contacts with ham radio operators from Georgia and Florida.
I made my second call, "KC5ACR this is school station 9Y4NC". The reply came almost immediately. "9Y4NC, this is KC5ACR you are loud and clear". I told him I had a few students who would like to pop some questions to him, but I would wait for another minute or so as there may be other hams from the US waiting to call him. The US was just losing Columbia's signals as displayed by "Instant Track".
When "Instant Track" showed that the Space Shuttle had left the US shores, I re-established contact and introduced the students. Bill then requested that Stephen Gajadhar ask his first question.
"KC5ACR this is 9Y4NC, during this mission, how many fuel burns are necessary to maintain the orbit and attitude (orientation in space) of the spacecraft" asked Stephen. Bill replied, "9Y4NC, this is Space Shuttle Columbia KC5ACR, on this mission we did one major fuel burn, but several minor ones to maintain the attitude, next question please Shameed".
Shameed Abraham then asked, "KC5ACR, this is 9Y4NC, what is the temperature of space outside the spacecraft ?". Bill replied " 9Y4NC, from KC5ACR, the temperature of space just outside the space craft is about minus one hundred degrees Celcius, but at the poles it is minus two hundred degrees Celcius, next question please Lester".
Lester Ramoutar then asked " KC5ACR, this is 9Y4NC, what is the forward velocity of the space craft ?" Bill replied, "9Y4NC this is Space Shuttle Columbia, the forward velocity of the space craft is seventeen thousand five hundred miles per hour, or about five miles per second."
Excited by the moment, one of the other teachers who accompanied me,
Mr. Nazim Mohammed, then asked about the orbital period of the spacecraft, and was told that the time taken to orbit the earth was about ninety minutes.
After being photographed by the reporters we returned to school, where we were told that the students who remained there were at the edge of their seats, all sharing an experience of a life time – a historic direct (point to point) voice contact by their school mates with Space Shuttle Columbia – STS-58.

Role of parents towards their children in a society that does not help in raising children properly
A very common problem seen in youth in western countries is that their parents allow them to indulge in some form of haram in the hope that that will stop them from committing worse haram. An example of this is that parents will say that they allow their children to indulge in music in the hope that that will stop them from going out with bad people or leaving their home all together. Parents are afraid that if they enforce the law of Allah in their homes, that their children will leave. What is Islam's position on this sort of compromise? Some parents also say that they only have the duty to tell their children something is haram, and then their children have to choose for themselves because they are already young adults (i.e. 13 -18 yrs old and unmarried, living at home). Don't the parents have to forbid haram by all means, or do they just say that is haram and then leave them be? To what extent do parents have to go to forbid their children from haram? Parents also believe that once their children reach the age of puberty they are no longer responsible for their sins or actions, and so say they will have no sin if they advise their children something is haram and then leave them. Is this true? Or do parents always have the responsibility of forbidding their children from haram, and will they be responsible if they see their children doing haram and just leave them after advising them?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The success or failure of the Muslim in raising his children depends on a variety of factors, which undoubtedly includes the environment in which they live, which plays a major role in the success or failure of that upbringing.
Please see the answer to question no. 52893.
The parents have to understand that Allaah has given them responsibility over their children, and they have to fulfil the trust as Allaah has enjoined in the Qur'aan. The Sunnah also confirms this command in many saheeh ahaadeeth. The texts of the Revelation also warn the one who does not look after his flock sincerely and who neglects the trust with which Allaah has entrusted him.
It was narrated that Ma'qil ibn Yasaar al-Muzani said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: "There is no person whom Allaah puts in charge of others, and when he dies he is insincere to his subjects, but Allaah will forbid Paradise to him."
According to another report: "… and he is insincere towards them, but he will not smell the fragrance of Paradise." Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6731) and Muslim (142).
See the answer to question no. 20064.
Allaah has enjoined those who are in charge of children to raise them from when they are very small to obey Allaah and love Islam. Even though they are not accountable because they have not reached puberty, one should not wait until puberty to teach them, guide them and tell them to obey Allaah, because in most cases at that age (i.e. puberty) they will not respond unless they have been brought up in this manner and have learned it from their families since a young age. Hence parents are enjoined to teach young children how to pray from the age of seven and to smack them if they do not pray when they are ten. The Sahaabah used to make their young children fast, so as to get them used to loving Islam and its rituals, so that it would be easy for them to follow its commands and keep away from the things it forbids when they grow up.
It was narrated that 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Amr said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Teach your children to pray when they are seven years old, and smack them if they do not do so when they are ten, and separate them in their beds." Abu Dawood (495), classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
It was narrated that al-Rubayyi' bint Mu'awwidh ibn 'Afra' said: On the morning of 'Ashoora', the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent word to the villages of the Ansaar around Madeenah, saying: "Whoever started the day fasting, let him complete his fast, and whoever started the day not fasting, let him complete the rest of the day (without food)."
After that, we used to fast on this day, and we would make our children fast too, even the little ones in sha Allaah. We would make them toys out of wool, and if one of them cried for food, we would give (that toy) to him until it was time to break the fast.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1960) and Muslim (1136).
Just as they raise them to do acts of worship, they should also prevent them from doing haraam things. If the child does an act of worship, the reward will be for him and for the one who taught him and encouraged him to do it. As for doing acts of disobedience or sins, the minor does not sin, rather the one who enabled him to do it and left the door open for him to do it and did not close it, is sinning. As for the one who tells him to do it, he is like the one who did it.
Hence it is not something extreme at all if a Muslim raises his children to obey Allaah and prevents them from doing haraam things, such as males wearing gold or silk, or females wearing male clothing, or lying, stealing, swearing and other sins. Similarly, it is not something extreme if a Muslim raises his daughter to be modest and chaste and not to mix, because if a person gets used to something when he is young, there is the fear that he may persist in it.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Even though the child is not accountable, his guardian is, and it is not permissible for him to enable him to do something haraam, for he will get used to it and it will be difficult to wean him from it.
Tuhfat al-Mawdood bi Ahkaam al-Mawlood (p. 162).
And he (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The one who neglects to teach his child that which will benefit him and leaves him with no care has done a very bad deed. The corruption of most children is due to their parents and their neglect of (their children), because they neglect to teach them the obligations and Sunnahs of Islam. So they neglected them when they were small, and (the children) turned out unable to benefit themselves or to benefit their parents when they are old.
Tuhfat al-Mawdood, p. 229
The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:
With regard to my small children, should I teach them the etiquette of Islam and make the young girls wear Islamic clothes, or this regarded as extremism? If my doing this is correct, what is the evidence for it from the Qur'aan and Sunnah?
They replied:
What you have mentioned about making girls wear loose and concealing clothing and making them get used to that from a young age is not extremism, rather you are doing the right thing in giving them an Islamic upbringing.
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh 'Abd al-Razzaaq 'Afeefi, Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah ibn Ghadyaan.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah (25/285, 286).
In his book Majmoo'ah As'ilah Tuhimm al-Usrah al-Muslimah, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars say that it is haraam to dress a child in clothes that it is haraam for an adult to wear. Clothing on which there are images is haraam for an adult to wear, so it is also haraam for a child to wear it.
What the Muslims should do is to boycott such clothes and shoes so that those who want to spread evil and corruption will not be able to reach us by these means. If they are boycotted they will never find a way to make them reach this land.
After that, he was asked:
Is it permissible for male children to wear things that are only for females, such as gold and silk, etc, and vice versa?
He replied:
This is to be understood from the first answer. I said that the scholars say that it is haraam to dress a child in clothes that it is haraam for an adult to wear. Based on this, it is haraam to dress male children in that which is only for females, and vice versa.
After that, he was asked:
Does this include isbaal or making clothes come below the ankles for male children?
He replied:
Yes, it includes that. End quote.
And Allaah knows best.
mashaala shukran for the knowledge.i have a 7 months old son n i didint know its haram to dress a child in something that its haram for an adult to wear.il remove all his shirts that r printed images n put them in the bin inshallah.
wat about colours,r there some colours that r forbidden for a male to wear?n clothes with names on like cute baby or i love my mummy!r they haram to dress them?

Chanhassen, Mn — Bahram Akradi, CEO of Life Time Fitness, Chanhassen, MN, will forgo his $926,667 cash salary and his cash incentive compensation this year, instead receiving his 2008 compensation in the form of 188,960 shares of restricted stock. The company's stock closed at $31.65 on March 26.
The value of Life Time's stock has fallen by 51 percent in the past five months, reaching a low of $25.64 at one point. The move is Akradi's effort to demonstrate his confidence in the value of the company, according to a release from Life Time.
The company's fourth quarter 2007 and year 2007 financials showed that the company is growing its net income by more than 20 percent. Membership growth also continued but at a slower pace.
Some analysts saw the slower membership growth as a sign that the company was not immune to the pressures of the economic slowdown. However, Akradi has stated in several financial calls that mature Life Time clubs are often at their capacity, which he puts at 11,000 memberships. Therefore, he has begun to raise initiation fees and monthly dues at some clubs to decrease membership numbers and overcrowding.
Akradi said in a call with analysts in February that the company's 2008 revenue is likely to be between $780 million and $800 million, which was below Wall Street analysts' expectations of $806.8 million. That was a cause for concern for some analysts. However, despite the slowing economy and membership growth at Life Time, most analysts are keeping their "buy" rating on the company's stock since the higher-income clientele that the company caters to may be less affected by an economic downturn.

This week's Follow Friday recommendation is the blog Kindred Footprints by Sharon (my newly found cousin, see below).
Sharon and I discovered yesterday through her blog and Twitter that we are 8th cousins (I think that's calculated right, cousin calculations always confuse me). Reading Sharon's blog I realized that she and I had ancestors who had lived in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada. I was so excited to find someone who actually was interested in the same region as I am (since it seems that my Indiana counties are rare in the genealogy world). Little did I know what we would find.
I sent her some of my surnames from that area and we found a match. Our 6th great grandfather Jacob HAINS. Of course I didn't even know about Jacob yet. Which makes it even more exciting for me to find a cousin and a new ancestor! Plus we have a connection on our WHITMORE line through marriage. We have just started exchanging information and I can't wait to see what we can find together!
As for Sharon's blog, make sure you check it out. Once again it reminds me of the importance of putting our research out there for others to find. Here are a few of her recent posts:

I also love Sharon's ancestor bios and need to do this more myself:
John J Manley Jr. (1893-1936)
Edward J Manley (1886-1939)

Avocado Tomatillo Salsa Recipe
I made a hearty soup for dinner and I thought it would be enough to fill everyone's tummies. But by the end of the evening, my husband Lulu's stomach started growling. I made a little snack for him that consisted of smoked gouda cheese, honey wheat crackers and avocado tomatillo salsa.
I thought of naming the salsa "avocadillo" or "tomaticado" salsa, but I could hear the collective sighs and groans of the internet in my head. No matter how you call this simple combination of tomatillos, avocado, garlic and cilantro, it's a smart and healthy way to add more servings of fresh vegetables to your diet.
Yields: 2 servings1 ripe avocado
3 tomatillos, diced
2 cloves pickled garlic, finely minced
juice of 1 lime
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
½ jalapeño pepper, roasted and seeded
½ teaspoon smoked salt
¼ teaspoon smoked black pepper (or regular pepper)
¼ teaspoon smoked sugar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (3.5-ounce) package honey wheat crackers
1 wheel cheese
How to peel an avocado:
Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. If the avocado is perfectly ripce, the skin comes right off. Using a sharp chef's knife, cut the avocado into very small cubes. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon lime juice to avoid oxidation.
Assembly time:
In a mixing bowl, combine the pickled garlic, tomatillos, avocado and jalapeño. Add the cilantro. Season with smoked salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss to combine.
Place half the amount in a mortar and pestle. Add sugar and grind until thick and creamy. Return the salsa from the mortar and pestle back to the mixing bowl and mix until the overall consistency is thick and chunky. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Let sit for about 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors blend. Serve at room temperature.
You can servethe salsa with a few crackers and a wheel of cheese (I used smoked gouda).
Bon appétit!
Avocado tomatillo salsa also adds great flavor to sandwiches.
Little reminder on how to roast peppers: Cut the stem off the jalapeño pepper. Wash it and pat dry. Place a grill on your stove and char the skin of the pepper. Wrap in aluminum foil. Let cool for about 5 minutes until you can handle it without discomfort. Clean the peppers using a knife; the skin will come right off. Seed and finely chop the flesh.
You can find pickled garlic in most Asian markets.
I used Bourbon Barrel Foods smoked sugar, salt and pepper. They're now available at Williams-Sonoma.

Wild Meadows: A wind farm withdrawn
Credit: New Hampshire Union Leader | May 28, 2014 | www.unionleader.com ~~
Hikers of Cardigan Mountain are greeted on their way to the trail heads by many signs expressing opposition to more wind farms. Once atop the windy peak, the reason for the signs becomes as clear as the view on a cloudless day. In every direction but one, trees are the tallest sights. Then, in the northeast, there is the Groton Wind farm.
Wind power companies had plans to build two more wind farms near Cardigan Mountain and Newfound Lake. Opponents have said the lake would become the center of a "wind farm sandwich" if both projects were built. This week Iberdrola Renewables withdrew its plans to build one of the other projects, the Wild Meadows wind farm in Danbury and Alexandria. That is a relief. Wind energy has its place, but its place was not there.
A study of the wind farm's impact on birds found that many varieties of raptors, including bald eagles and ospreys, as well as smaller birds, regularly flew through the space where the Wild Meadows towers would have been constructed.
Though Iberdrola claimed that the project would not harm tourism in New Hampshire, it probably would have reduced tourism to Cardigan Mountain and Newfound Lake. Cardigan Mountain's trails are among the most beautiful in New England. To reach the top and see wind farms in three directions would be a disappointment to many nature lovers, who might well choose other destinations in the future rather than return to hike Cardigan's other trails or visit Newfound Lake.
None of these factors appeared to have killed the project, though. Iberdola's inability to satisfy state concerns about its Groton Wind farm seems to have been the deciding factor, which is another reason to be thankful that the company is not building another wind farm nearby.

The U.S. revolution that supported Mandela
Jazelle Hunt, NNPA Washington Correspondent | 12/13/2013, 6 a.m.
NNPA (WASHINGTON) Nearly three decades ago, a handful of prominent black activists began organizing a movement that would eventually help break the back of apartheid in South Africa and force the United States government and American companies to end their support of white minority rule on the continent.
What was called the Free South Africa Movement began on Thanksgiving Day 1984, when then-U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Mary Frances Berry, TransAfrica executive director Randall Robinson, then-D.C. Congressman Walter Fauntroy and current-D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (then a law professor at Georgetown University), were granted a meeting at the South African Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The group called for an end to apartheid and the release of all political prisoners in South Africa. When their demands were ignored, the activists staged a sit-in at the South African embassy located on Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.
All but Norton were arrested for trespassing and their actions made national, then international news.
"There were already protests before, but no one got any momentum," Berry recalls. "We wanted to get arrested. And we tried to get people lined up to get arrested the next day."
They were arrested the next day, the day after that and the following day. In fact, every day for a year, the Free South Africa Movement (FSAM) held demonstrations at the South African Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The nascent movement attracted support from celebrities, members of Congress and other high-profile people many of whom joined the protest and allowed themselves to be arrested in order to draw more attention to the issue. Before long, chapters of Free South Africa sprang up across the United States.
"Let us not forget that Britain, the U.S. and all of the western powers labeled Mandela a terrorist and steadfastly propped up the apartheid regime— they were on the wrong side of history," says civil rights leader Jesse Jackson. Mandela is not gone he remains with us always. He'll always be a chin bar to pull up on. He has left this earth, but he soars high among the heavens, and his eloquent call for freedom and equality is still heard among the winds and rains, and in the hearts of the people the world over."
Mary Frances Berry, a professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania, remembers the personal side of Mandela.
"In dealing with him in personal interactions— having the privilege to be with him and talk to him in an informal setting— he was very funny. Not at all full of himself and completely down to earth even though he was larger than life. He considered himself on the same level as an ordinary person, and he didn't take himself too seriously. He loved a joke and always had witticisms."
While maintaining pressure on the streets, movement organizers organized a legislative assault on apartheid, resulting in passage of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986.
It took an entire year to get it passed by Congress and be presented to President Reagan for his signature. Instead of signing, however, Reagan vetoed it. But supporters had enough votes to override the veto.

Wenger calls for players to respond
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has challenged his team to ignore people writing them off as no-hopers after crashing out of the FA Cup 1-0 to Blackburn and show their true character against European giants Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.
The Gunners' campaign suffered another setback on Saturday when although dominating the npower Championship team at the Emirates Stadium, they were knocked out by a scrappy second-half goal from former Arsenal trainee Colin Kazim-Richards.
"You can take a distance in terms of what people say and show how strong and good you are in the next game," said Wenger, who suffered defeat against lower league opposition in the FA Cup for the first time. "It is a good opportunity to show that we have character and are men who can fight for each other."
Arsenal were also knocked out of the Capital One Cup in a match they had been expected to win when losing at npower League One Bradford on penalties in December. Wenger, though, maintains he had not taken Saturday's clash lightly, despite what lay ahead in Europe next week.
"It is very disappointing that the two (cup defeats) have happened in the same season, but I prepared these two in the same way that I did in the 16 years before," he said. "I couldn't see how we could lose this game because we always had the ball and they had one shot on goal, but they defended well."
Rovers were rank outsiders against the Gunners, as long as 11-1 shots to record an unlikely victory. There will, though, be little time for Appleton - in charge of his third club this season - and the Blackburn squad to revel in their moment of FA Cup history.
"What we have to do very quickly is to move on because we have a (Championship) game against Hull on Tuesday night, which is almost a reality check," said Appleton, whose side are six points off the play-offs in eighth.
"It is our bread and butter, what we will be doing for 46 games across the season, so that is my job and my staff, to make sure we can get that over to the players."
Rovers captain Scott Dann felt the win was testament to the hard work put in by Appleton since his arrival from Blackpool just five weeks ago. "In the last 18 months there has been too much going on behind the scenes with managers coming and managers going back out not too long after," the defender said.
"What we needed was a bit of stability and the new manager has given us that. The way that they have turned things around and got us playing at the moment, we are going from strength to strength."

MSI's Alex Chang Speaks Up
MSI was founded in 1986 and started producing motherboards and video cards for the quickly growing PC market. Throughout the life of the company they have further diversified their offerings to include barebones systems, notebooks, networking/communication devices, and industrial products. While MSI has a nice base of products, they are still primarily a motherboard and video card company. In the past 10 years MSI has become one of the top brands in North America for video cards, and they have taken a very aggressive approach to design with these products.
I had the chance to send MSI quite a few questions concerning their video card business and how they develop their products.
What is your name, title, and how long have you worked at MSI?
My name is Bob, and I'm…. actually, I'm just Alex Chang. I'm the Associate Marketing Manager. I've been with the company for 2 years.
Typically how long does it take from the original reference design card release to when we can first expect to see a Twin Frozr III based card hit retail? How much longer does it take to create the "Lightning" based products?
Historically, we've seen the introduction of a non-reference thermal solution within 2-4 weeks of product launch. As an example, GTX580 was launched in November 2010, and by December there was already a reference PCB GTX580 w/ the Twin Frozr II cooler.
In the case of Lightning cards, the development timeframe is longer due to more R&D, validation, and procurement of components. With GTX580, the timeframe was around 6 months, but moving forward MSI is pulling in the launch timeframe of our flagship products.

Endangered Species Program
Conserving and restoring threatened and endangered species and their ecosystems
Section 7 Consultation
Guidance for Preparing a Biological Assessment
This guidance will help project proponents document their analyses for actions that "may affect" listed species. Federal agencies are required to determine whether their actions may affect listed or proposed species and designated and proposed critical habitat (henceforth, referred to as protected resources). Once a "may affect" determination is made, the Federal agency must either request our concurrence with a "may affect, but not likely to adversely affect" finding or request initiation of formal consultation1. Both require a written analysis to be submitted to us. This analysis is typically transmitted in a document referred to as a Biological Assessment or Biological Evaluation. The former is defined in regulation and is required under specific circumstances2. The latter is a generic term used to document analyses and Section 7 determinations when a Biological Assessment is not required. Both documents are for the same purpose3, and hence for this guidance, we will use only the term Biological Assessment.
Biological Assessments (BA) may serve multiple purposes, but the primary role is to document an agency's conclusions and the rationale to support those conclusions regarding the effects of their proposed actions on protected resources. Although there are no statutory or regulatory mandated contents for a BA, recommended elements are identified at 50 CFR §402.12(f). The bulleted list below highlights the elements that are essential for our review of your project.
Following this analysis, you need to make a Section 7 finding for proposed or listed species and proposed or designated critical habitat that may be present in the action area. Your section 7 conclusion should be explicit. Generally, one of the following three determinations will apply4. For additional guidance in making a Section 7 determination, please see our Section 7(a)(2) Process (Steps 1-3) website.
Supporting documents, such as environmental assessments or other planning documents, are helpful for our review.
Provide copies of supporting documentation, especially any agency reports or data that are not readily available.
Sample Outline for a Biological Assessment
Please include a cover letter with your BA. This letter should indicate that you are submitting a Biological Assessment for a particular project. It is helpful if you summarize your determinations and explicitly request an action from us, i.e., concur with your "may affect, but not likely to adversely affect" determination or initiate formal consultation.
Note: For projects that will adversely affect proposed or listed species or proposed or designated critical habitat, we strongly recommend that you contact our office for technical assistance before preparing or submitting a final Biological Assessment.

VI. Conclusion and Determination of Effects for each protected resource
VII. Literature Cited
VIII. List of Contacts Made and Preparers
1 Per regulations (50 CFR 402.14), Federal agencies must submit an initiation package before formal consultation may begin. The required contents of the package are identified in the regulations. With exception of a cumulative effects analysis and a catch-all of any other relevant information, the required information for an initiation package is the same as the information we recommend submitting with a BA.
2 Biological Assessments (BA) are only required for "major construction activities," which are Federal actions that may significantly affect the quality of the human environment as referred to in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The purpose of a biological assessment is to evaluate the potential effects of the action on listed and proposed species and designated and proposed critical habitat and determine whether any such species or habitat are likely to be adversely affected by the action.
3 Agencies are required to review all their actions—not just those that qualify as a "major construction activity." This review entails assessing and documenting the effects of their action on protected resources. Whether an action qualifies as a "major construction activity" has no influence on how an agency should analyze its action or document its section 7 review. Hence, the purpose and contents of a Biological Assessment and a Biological Evaluation should be the same.
4 Formal Consultation is required if an action is likely to "adversely affect" listed species and designated critical habitat. For proposed species, further consultation is required only if the action is likely to "jeopardize the continued existence" of the species or result in "destruction or adverse modification" of critical habitat. To appropriately apply these determinations, you need to fully understand the terms "jeopardy" and "adverse modification" and must have complete knowledge of the rangewide status of the species and condition of the habitat, respectively. For these reasons, agencies typically conclude "may affect, and likely to adversely affect" and contact the Service for further guidance in making the jeopardy and adverse modification determinations for proposed species/critical habitat.

, Aug 30, 2009 / 11:14 am (CNA).- At Sunday's Angelus prayer in the courtyard of Castel Gandolfo's apostolic palace, Pope Benedict XVI recalled the previous week's liturgical memorial of St. Monica, mother of St. Augustine of Hippo and model and patron of Christian mothers.
"Much is recounted about her in her son's autobiography 'The Confessions,' a masterpiece among the most read works of all time," Pope Benedict said. "There, we understand that St. Augustine imbibed the name of Jesus with maternal milk and was educated in the Christian religion by his mother, the principles of which remained impressed on him even in the years of spiritual and moral wavering."
Monica, Benedict XVI explained, never stopped praying for her son and his conversion and she had the consolation of seeing him return to the faith and receiving baptism. The Pope added, "God heard the prayers of this holy mother, to whom the Bishop of Tagaste said: 'It is impossible that a child of so many tears should go lost.' In truth, St. Augustine does not only convert, but decides to embrace the monastic life and back in Africa, and himself establishes a community of monks."
"The final spiritual conversations between him and his mother in the quiet of a house in Ostia, in anticipation of departure for Africa, are moving and edifying," the Holy Father explained. "By then St. Monica had become for this her child 'more than a mother, the source of his Christianity.' Her lone desire had been for years the conversion of Augustine, who then was positively oriented toward a life of consecration to God's service."
She could only die content, the Pontiff said, on August 27, 387, 56 years old, after having asked her children to not worry about her burial, but to remember her, where ever they were, at the altar of the Lord. St. Augustine repeated that his mother had "twice given birth" to him.
Pope Benedict continued: "The history of Christendom has numerous examples of holy parents and authentic Christian families, who accompanied the life of generous priests and pastors of the Church."
He recounted Sts. Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianen, who both came from families of saints, and spouses Luigi Beltrame Quattrocchi and Maria Corsini, who lived from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century and were beatified by Pope John Paul II in October 2001 on the twentieth anniversary of his Apostolic Exhortation "Familiaris consortio."
"This document," the Pope expounded, "in addition to illustrating the value of marriage and the responsibilities of the family, calls spouses to a particular task on the way of holiness that, drawing grace and strength from the Sacrament of Matrimony, they follow their entire life."
"When spouses dedicate themselves generously to the education of children, guiding them and orienting them to discover the design of God's love, they prepare that fertile spiritual terrain where vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life spring and mature.
Pope Benedict concluded his Angelus message by asking the faithful to seek the intercession of St. John Mary Vianney and the Blessed Virgin Mary in this Year for Priests.
Addressing English-speaking pilgrims and visitors after the Angelus, he singled out the first year seminarians from the Pontifical North American College.
"May your time here at Castel Gandolfo and in Rome deepen your integral understanding of our faith and strengthen in you the desire to be consistent in word and deed, following the heart and mind of our Lord. Upon each of you present and your families, I invoke God's blessing of peace and joy!"

Environmentalists Say Coal Employment Still Strong
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — An environmental group says coal mining employment in 2011 and 2012 was the highest in 15 years, despite claims that President Barack Obama is waging war on the industry.
Appalachian Voices said Tuesday that federal data show the average number of jobs was 15 percent higher under Obama than under George W. Bush.
In touting mine safety earlier this week, the Mine Safety and Health Administration said the number of miners working last year was the second-highest since 1994. That's even with the loss of 6,000 jobs between 2011 and 2012.
North Carolina-based Appalachian Voices aims to defuse attacks expected at a Thursday confirmation hearing for Gina McCarthy, Obama's nominee to run the Environmental Protection Agency.
The West Virginia Coal Association dismisses the report as "shoddy analysis" by environmental extremists.

The way the PLL works is that if the first bit of data sent is a 1, then the next two bytes are CB+BB (or CB+AB). If the first bit is a 0, then the next two bytes are the divisor bytes. You can send the divisor first then the control bytes (as dvb-pll does), or the control bytes first and then the divisor bytes. Or just the control bytes, or just divisor bytes.

I've been told that the fmd1216 uses the TUA6034. But in this case it doesn't really matter, all these I2C PLLs work this way.

Recently, several beauty bloggers, and myself, were given one of two challenges – to create two eye looks or show off some dupes on a limited budget. To do this we were provided with $50 credit to Sephora, Ulta or drugstore.com. I decided I would show two looks, so I took my Sephora giftcard and off I went shopping, with the help of some Sephora coupon codes, as it is easy to go thru $50 quickly there.
The best way to get the most value for your money is to get a complete collection that includes a shadow palette – in this case, I snatched up the LORAC Private Affair collection. It includes eyeshadow primer, a 6-color eyeshadow palette, with a range of shades from light to dark wine, a cream eyeliner in "Plum" and a volumizing mascara.
The great thing about this palette is that it gives you the ability to have a daytime look with the lighter, neutral shades, and a nighttime look with the darker shades, all from this one palette. And with the eye primer, it will make the light shades appear brighter and your night look will be richer and last longer. The gel liner is silky smooth and is easily applied to really outline your eyes for the night. The mascara does a great job of opening up the eyes for the day and really enhancing that smokey eye for the night with its big volumizing formula.
(*I would have showed you these on my eyes, but, this stupid weather around here in Oklahoma has got my allergy eyes just weeping up a storm, so there wasn't any way to give you guys a true shot of it all.)
And now I have a chance for you to win your own Sephora gift card to create your own day and night looks, only this one is for $300! Just enter in the Rafflecopter widget below:
And after you have done that – go check out what the other bloggers did with their gift certificates:

After high school I went to the California State University at Fresno to study geology. One day I came across a book of poetry on a shelf in the college library. I read it, liked it, and began to write poems of my own. I enrolled in my first poetry-writing class in 1972. I was twenty years old at the time. That's when I decided to become a writer. I graduated from the university with a degree in English. I then went on to get a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I have been writing poetry, short stories, and novels for children and adults ever since.
A lot of my work seems autobiographical, because I write a lot about growing up as a Mexican American. It's important to me to create and share new stories about my heritage. It's a huge part of my life. If you read my poems and stories, you might wonder which things really happened to me. As a writer, I like to make things up, as long as the actions of the characters are believable. There are many different types of writers. Some people like to write things that are factual and historical. For me, the joy of being a writer is to take things I see and hear and then rearrange them. I like to tamper with reality and create new possibilities. In short, not all my work is autobiographical, but it could be.
To me the finest praise is when a reader says, I can see your stories. This is what I'm always working for, a story that becomes alive and meaningful in the reader's mind. That's why I write so much about growing up in the barrio. It allows me to use specific memories that are vivid for me. For example, in Neighborhood Odes, a collection of some of my poems, I describe and celebrate life in a Hispanic neighborhood. I use details, such as the names of people I knew and the foods they ate, to illustrate daily life in the community. I even include a list of Spanish words and phrases, with their English translations, at the back of the book.
Sometimes, I go to schools to meet my readers. I have played baseball and basketball with young people, sang songs, led a parade and even acted in skits. I do these things because I want to make sure kids get excited about reading. I figure if they meet me, they will be curious to read what I write. If that inspires them to read what other people write, all the better! I believe in literature and the depth it adds to all our lives.
Even though I write a lot about life in the barrio, I am really writing about the feelings and experiences of most American kids: having a pet, going to the park for a family cookout, running through a sprinkler on a hot day, and getting a bee sting! You may discover that you have had many of the same experiences and feelings as the characters in my stories and poems.
Gary Soto now lives with his wife and daughter in Berkeley, California. He is a Distinguished Professor at the University of California at Riverside.

When Pastor Brent Harwerth and his wife, Valerie, finished up 20 years of ministry in an Ainsworth, Neb., Berean church, they were looking for what to do next. They explored various possibilities, and were asked by the Sterling Berean Church to start a new church in Fort Morgan.
Then something extraordinary happened -- Fort Morgan's Grace Bible Church at 211 W. Beaver Ave. had its last service in late December, and donated the church building to the Berean Bible Church.
"This is not a common occurrence," Harwerth said.
"'Grace' is often mentioned in the Bible, and rightly understood it makes us a generous people," he said.
The couple and their 14-year-old daughter, Charissa, moved to Fort Morgan last March. Their boys were already grown. They held services in the Comfort Inn starting in May. About 46 people have attended the church at one time or another, with up to 30 at a time.
When the building was offered to the Berean church, they decided to go ahead and use it despite the small congregation.
"We have already seen a lot of excitement and momentum," Harwerth said. "We want to take simple steps of faith and see what God will do."
The plan is to make it a useful, active church facility, and they are eager to remodel, although it was left in good shape, he said.
Harwerth said he is often asked why it is called the "Berean" church. The book of Acts mentions that Paul went to the town Berea in the northern part of Greece, and the converts there were serious students of the gospel. They "searched the scriptures daily."
"So as Bereans, we are serious about teaching the Bible," Harwerth said.
Harwerth said people have asked whether he intended to stay in town or was just planting a church.
"We intend to stay as long as the Lord allows us to stay," he said. The family even bought a home in Fort Morgan, and spent August fixing it up.
Harwerth said the church just wants to be a place where people can hear the simple truth that Jesus died, taking the punishment for people's sins, and rose again to give people new life.
"Many are starving for the truth of Jesus," Harwerth said. "We are not interested in having a big fireworks type program, (because) soon all that is left is ashes ... We offer the Word of God for that is what we trust in and we rely on."
The Word of God is always relevant and life changing, he said. The current generation can understand what God offers and how it can change lives. It is a matter of depending on Jesus Christ and the Bible, and watching as God develops the church.
"We just ask, 'God, show us what you want us to do, and we will do it,'" Harwerth said.
While the church teaches the Bible, its emphasis is on changing lives, he said.
Valerie has already started ladies Bible study groups that meet from 9 a.m. to about 11 a.m. on Tuesdays and 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Thursdays.
A men's Bible study group meets starting at 7 p.m. Thursdays.
The Fort Morgan church is part of the Berean Fellowship, a group that began in 1932 when a group of Christians in North Platte, Neb. began meeting together and later reached out to surrounding towns where people were looking for Bible-based churches.
Although it is a difficult task, the vision for Berean Bible Church is to build a multi-ethnic church, he said.
"Only Jesus can break down the natural distrust between ethnic groups," Harwerth said.
He said he is talking with a Spanish group which is interested in using the building for its services, too.
Since the Berean service runs from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Sunday, the Spanish congregation could meet later in the morning.
Harwerth said he and his wife have a heart for other people and cultures. They even considered going to China as missionaries.
They plan to welcome the African Children's Choir at the church on March 26 starting at 6:30 p.m. The first half-hour of the program is devoted to traditional African songs, and the last half-hour will feature gospel songs in English.
"I hope it will be a chance to meet with local African population," Harwerth said.
Interestingly, Fort Morgan had a Berean church about 30 years ago, and some people he's met have said they remember it.
The building which will house the new congregation has a cornerstone reading First United Presbyterian Church 1907, but no more information was available at press time.

The winners of this family fun-filled day were Morgan Moore, 28, for overall female, and overall male Ryan Kelly, 22. Winners in the Kids Fun Run were overall boy Grant King and overall girl Robin Houghton. Winning Superhero Costumes were adults Michelle VanDevender as Wonder Woman and Jeremy Fermo as Incredible Hulk, and kids Morgan Miles as Superwoman and Myles Aslin as Robin. The most original was William Gilmore as Dr. Banner/Incredible Hulk.
Families were encouraged to participate with their children by walking, jogging or running the 5K together. The festivities included superhero mask-making, photo booth by Babbi Booths that gave participants four great superhero action shots, and the superhero costume contest.
Casas for CASA Playhouses were on display inside Parkdale Mall from Oct. 13-20 near JC Penny's. Drawing for playhouses and raffle packages was Oct. 20 inside the mall.

Clippers Claim Another Franchise Record With 12 Straight Home Wins
January 5, 2013 10:35 PM
Blake Griffin of the LA Clippers turns to shoot under pressure from Festus Ezeli of the Golden State Warriors during their NBA matchup on January 5, 2013 in Los Angeles, California. AFP PHOTO / Frederic J. BROWN
LOS ANGELES (AP) Chris Paul had 27 points and nine assists, Blake Griffin added 20 points and the Los Angeles Clippers set a franchise record with their 12th straight home victory, 115-89 over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night.
The Clippers lead the NBA with a 27-8 record, a half-game ahead of Western Conference rivals Oklahoma City and San Antonio. The Clippers won a club-record 17 straight overall before back-to-back road losses at Denver and Golden State, then beat the Lakers 107-102 on Friday. Their previous best home winning streak was set in 1978-79, their first season in San Diego after the franchise left Buffalo.
DeAndre Jordan added 13 points and eight rebounds for the Clips, who built a 23-point lead through the first quarter and won for the 19th time in 21 games overall.
Coach Vinny Del Negro pulled Griffin and Paul after they built a 96-60 lead with 2:40 left in the third quarter.
Klay Thompson had a team-high 14 points for the Warriors (22-11), who had won 12 of 15 and were trying to match the second-best start in team history behind the 1975-76 squad that won 25 of its first 33. They were 23-10 in 1955-56 and in 1991-92.
Playing their fourth game in five nights, the Clippers busted out of the gate with a 22-6 run while Golden State missed 15 of its first 18 shots. Curry and Lee, the only Warriors averaging 20 or more points, both were 0 for 4 during that stretch.
Matt Barnes stripped the ball from rookie Draymond Green under the basket and hustled the length of the floor to tip in Willie Green's missed layup just before the first-quarter buzzer, giving Los Angeles a 35-12 cushion. It was the lowest-scoring opening period for the Warriors.
The Clippers extended the margin to 67-43 at halftime, shooting 61.4 percent from the field and outrebounding the Warriors 24-12. Eric Bledsoe provided the exclamation point at the end of the second quarter when he blocked a driving layup by Jarrett Jack just before the buzzer. The 6-foot-1 point guard has 24 blocked shots in the team's first 35 games and 63 in 156 regular-season games contests.
Shooting guard Jamal Crawford, who leads the Clippers' reserves with 16.5 points per game, missed his second straight contest because of a sore left foot. The 13-year veteran, who signed as a free agent in July, tops all reserves in the league with 14 games of 20 or more points – including the 27 he scored against the Warriors in a 114-110 loss on Nov. 3, and the 24 he had against them in Wednesday's 115-94 defeat at Oakland.
NOTES: The Clippers have beaten the Warriors at least once in each of the last 26 seasons, their longest such streak against any team. … Lee was called for a flagrant 1 foul with 2:38 left in the second quarter when he got his hands on Griffin's torso as he went up for an alley-oop lob from Eric Bledsoe. Griffin missed the shot and landed on his feet. … Paul, who played 28 minutes without a turnover, came in second in the league with a 4.28 assist-to-turnover ratio. … This was Paul's seventh straight 20-point game against the Warriors. The only teams he's had longer streaks against were Phoenix (11) and Dallas (10). … The Clippers have won 29 of their last 33 regular-season games at Staples Center, including a designated "road" win against the Lakers on Nov. 2. … This was the only time the Warriors had back-to-back games against the same team on their 2012-13 schedule. Their next game is on Wednesday, when they host Memphis and will attempt to end a streak of seven straight losses to the Grizzlies. … After concluding this four-game homestand against Dallas and Orlando, the Clippers will play 14 of their next 17 on the road. … The Clippers are 23-0 when leading after three quarters, and 11-1 when shooting 50 percent or better. They finished at 52.2 percent against the Warriors. … When Crawford broke the Clippers' franchise record of consecutive free throws made with 58, the player who held the previous mark was current Warriors coach Mark Jackson.
