Akron, OH—North Greenville assistant softball coach Shellie Robinson earned player of the week honors from the National Pro Fastpitch organization for her performance on the diamond last week.

The Georgian Bay - Collingwood - Severn - Barrie region of Ontario is a vacationers paradise located only and hour and half or so from the Metropolis of Toronto. As a result there are numerous cottage areas along the shores of Georgian Bay and others of the many lakes in the area, as well as holiday resorts to suit the needs and wants of the millions of visitors who flock there year round.
The natural beauty, diversity and ruggedness of the terrain attracts attention as does the historical significance of the area.
Georgian Bay is covers approximately 15,000 square kilometres (5,800 sq mi), making it nearly 80% as large as Lake Ontario. The granite rock formations and windswept Eastern White Pine are characteristic of the islands and much of the shoreline of the bay. The rugged beauty of the area inspired landscapes by artists of the Group of Seven.
Let's do a quick review of some of the family vacation destinations in the area with which I am familiar.
The Royal Harbour Resort
The Royal Harbour Resort is a 4 season resort located on beautiful Georgian Bay amongst a natural harbour.
Another nearby destination you must check put is the Georgian Manor Resort and Country Club just a sort distance from Collongwood.
It too is located on the Niagara Escarpment and has an abundance of wildlife for the nature lovers as well as four season activities such as hiking, biking, snowmobileing, dog sledding and of course skiing.
One of the more diverse and luxurious resorts in the area is Carriage Ridge Resort located in the beautiful ski country area in Oro Medonte close to Barrie. Carriage Ridge Resort offers excellent service and facilities which includes superb 18-hole golf course, largest ski hills in Barrie, as well as spa and fine dining facilities.
Club Cranberry Resort is a 750-acre recreational paradise 90 minutes north of Toronto near Collingwood,touching the shores of Georgian Bay with Blue Mountains as its backyard.
Nearby you'll find Mountain View Villas at Cranberry, also located within the premiere vacation destination of scenic Collingwood.
The area offers a complete range of amenities for active couples, families and golfers.
In the Muskokas Cottage Country area you will find Birchcliff Villas at Deerhurst Resort. Right on the shores of Peninsula Lake, Deerhurst Resort is a year round retreat to the Cottage Country lifestyle.
Last but not least you might want to visit Tory's Landing, an exciting new cottage community located on Sparrow Lake. Sparrow Lake is part of the historic Trent-Severn Waterway offering miles of fabulous boating between Lake Ontario and Georgian bay.

William Shakespeare wrote most of his poems in Blank Verse also known as Blank Form. This structure allows poems to be unrhymed with the rhythmic power of the meter. In order to write top quality blank form, one must pay close attention to syllables and word count. The meter most commonly used with blank form is the iambic pentameter with end stops. Opinion would have it that the Earl of Surrey, Henry Howard was the first to use blank form having been inspired by classical Latin verse and others of similar orientation that did not use rhyme. Of the romantic poets, the true believers of this poetic form rested on the shoulders of William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelly, and John Keats; also, Alfred Lord Tennyson whose long narrative poems are crafted with the blank form structure.
When free verse was hitting the top of the charts, as it were; Hart Crane and William Wallace Stevens, poets of immense respectability, held on to blank form. My opinion is that some poets of the old school found it hard to part familiar ways; but sought to solve the dilemma by lounging with meter, hugging the arms and legs of iambic pentameter and at the same time romping with free verse; some sort of a hoodwink comes to mind. Samuel Johnson voiced his concern that John Milton wrote bad blank form. On that I have no opinion, but I do accept what the records have said that Milton's blank form became very popular so much so that it was referred to as the Miltonic blank Verse. It became the standard for those attempting to write English epics for centuries following Milton's publication of Paradise Lost and poems he wrote later in his life.
Blank form is often misunderstood as free verse. A good way to remember the difference is to think of the word "blank" as meaning no rhymes at the end of verses and "free" meaning the freedom from fixed patterns of traditional versification. There is an anomaly with respect to the use of the iambic pentameter verses in blank form structure. When the scansion process is applied to poems written in blank verse, we tend to see that the strict standard iambic pentameter advocated is jaded as a result of it being peppered at times by the trochee, anapest, spondee and dactyl. The landing of these invaders in iambic pentameter verses gives off a delightful soothing effect; they break up the monotonous rhythm that dogs standard iambic pentameter verses. This is not a problem per se if we remember rightly that the definition for blank form has allowed for any other type of unrhymed metered verse but must be five feet exactly. This is where the "inversion technique" is used. This technique allows iambic pentameter verses to retain their dominance in spite of being invaded by other foot types. The "inversion technique" imposes strict compliance in that there must be no compromising on the five feet and the second foot must always be an iamb. The first foot of the verse measuring five iambic feet is the one most likely to change; most inversions tend to fall on the trochee.
Wherever the inversion technique occurs in iambic pentameter verses it changes the standard iambic pentameter verses into non-standard iambic pentameter verses; but it is okay to drop the prefix and simply call such verses iambic pentameter verses because majority holds the sway in any civilized environment or platform. The iamb, anapest, trochee, dactyl and spondee are the most common poetic foot used in English verse. Their profiles look like this
Iamb: one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable
Anapest: two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable
Trochee: one stressed syllable followed by one unstressed syllable
Dactyl: one stressed syllable followed two unstressed syllables
Spondee: two stressed syllables
When the scansion process is applied to poetry the stressed syllable is shown with a symbol that looks like this / and the unstressed syllable is shown with this symbol v, so the symbolic representation of the English poetic foot is listed as follows:
Iamb /v
Anapest vv/
Trochee /v
Dactyl /vv
Spondee //
Anglo Saxon (Old English) poems are written in accentual meter often referred to as the strong-stress meter; alliterative-stress meter or accentual verse. Anglo Saxon accentual verse is based on alliteration and stress. It was usually done with four-stressed lines with a caesura (a pause in the middle). The stressed lines always alliterate with the first stress, the second stress or both. Alliteration held lines of the poem together rather than the rhyme. All vowels were considered to alliterate with each other, but compound consonants would alliterate with themselves. The Anglo Saxons were more likely to use enjambment and not the end stop on their lines.
Most Modern English poems are written in accentual-syllabic meter. Accentual-syllabic meter counts both the stressed and unstressed syllables. It uses specific patterns, such as iambic pentameter or the classical hendecasyllable: a metrical line of eleven syllables. Every syllable counts to create the proper rhythm and flow of the meter. It is conceived as one of the tighter methods of measuring meter. Most of the verse forms that the English created based on French or Italian forms are Accentual-syllabic. Geoffrey Chaucer and his contemporary of poets are credited for the fusion of the accentual of English and the syllabic of French into modern English accentual-syllabic forms.

Haiti Under Rubble from 7.0 Earthquake
Natural disasters whenever and wherever they occur impact on all of our lives. The Good Book says we are our brothers and sisters keepers lead by the Holy Spirit. Hence, we must do our part when disaster shows its ugly face. Any assistance, great or small, given from generous and loving hearts has equal weight. I'm passing on this information I received that Barbadians can go to First Caribbean Bank to donate to the Disaster Relief Fund for Haiti. The banking information is shown below:

For the first few weeks of school, L struggled with his schoolwork. I found him asking basic questions like, "What is sum?" Or, not knowing how to answer "When" and "How" questions ... questions that require abstract thinking. I tried to teach him like any other normal kid but he was not grasping it. Something was not right. I read a book, "Overcoming dyslexia: a new and complete science-based program for reading problems at any level" by Shaywitz, Sally E. L's symptoms did not fully match a dyslexic. However, a paragraph on hyperlexics caught my attention. http://www.hyperlexia.org provided more information.
Hyperlexia is the opposite of dyslexia. Hyperlexics can read but have difficulty understanding the passages. L fits most of the symptoms. He has poor auditory memory (can't remember long instructions) and difficulty understanding abstract concepts. Difficulty answering "wh" questions esp. the "why" and "how". I find L echoing sentences without understanding the words. Eg. "You are not the boss of me!" He doesn't know "boss" can also mean "leader."
I started modifying my teaching method drastically. I no longer assume that he comprehends anything he reads. The book: Reading Too Soon: How to Understand and Help the Hyperlexic Child by Susan M. Miller (Paperback - Sep 1, 1993) really helped. Every reading material for L has to be pared down to simple explanations. I will write about the different methods in future blogs.
His teacher is also very very helpful. I can't say how grateful I am that she gives me the reading material early in the week so that I can work with L. The next few weeks, we saw L's marks improve. He is now averaging in the 90% in his LA tests. He is also getting better at word math problems.
I had an IEP meeting with his speech therapist and regular classroom teacher before Christmas. I requested L to be evaluated for "Resource Support." That means, he gets pulled out to a resource room where a teacher will help him with his homework. These classes are for children who are struggling with their schoolwork, usually children with learning disorders. I also requested his ST to include social skills lessons into her curriculum with L which she complied easily.
Early January, the ST requested an extended IEP mtg with the school psychiatrist and resource teacher. Because of L's good progress, they felt that he didn't need to be evaluated for disorders but did suggest that our pediatrician look for the possibility of ADHD. He also didn't qualify for the resource support. I had a feeling that this was going to happen. I wasn't that bummed out about their decision. I am just glad that I found something that worked at home with L and I can tailor the lessons to fit him.

RTR Relays module (Tool Flood)
Artikelnummer 1480
Goed op voorraad
€69,99 exclusief btw Prijs per stuk
Configureer uw product
We use this module in all our RTR controllers. It has two 230V solid state relays. These relays are most often used used to switch a KRESS milling motor(Tool) and a coolant pump(Flood). The module interfaces with USBCNC CPU V4 or V5, via a ribbon cable. On the PCB there are 2 jumpers allowing you to choose which signal from USBCNC controls the relays. Options are for left contact Tool or Mist right contact Flood or AUX. The relays we used are 15 amps, so in theory could switch 3,5KW, but then relay would need to be actively cooled, we recommend to switch a maximum of 1,5KW. That is not a problem even without active cooling, and its more than enough for a KRESS milling motor or a Coolant Pump
Component eigenschappen:
Compatible with USBCNC CPU V4 & V5B
Used in our RTR CNC controllers
Often used for On/off of KRESS (Tool) and coolant (FLOOD)

Detectives from Serious Crime Branch investigating a series of offences committed at the wake and subsequent funeral of Peggy O'Hara have released a 53-year-old man and 44-year-old woman arrested on Wednesday, September 16.
They were released unconditionally.
Both individuals were taken to the Serious Crime Suite at Antrim Police Station for questioning.
Detectives also carried out searches in the Creggan area of Londonderry on Wednesday morning and removed a number of items for examination.
The Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Philip Montgomery reissued an appeal for information about the appearance of gunmen at the wake and the appearance of people in paramilitary-style uniforms at the funeral in July.
He asked anyone who does have information to please contact detectives on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 8000 555 111."

The Tandon Corporation said it had sold the disk drive business on which the company was founded to the Western Digital Corporation for $49 million in cash and other considerations. Western Digital, of Irvine, Calif., a leading maker of computer storage, communications, video controller and logic-processing units, will also assume about $28 million in Tandon liabilities.
The deal, which was agreed to in December, involves Tandon's Winchester disk drive engineering and manufacturing facilities in Santa Clara and San Jose, Calif., and Singapore, as well as plated media operations in Santa Clara. Tandon, based in Chatsworth, is left with its fledgling business of manufacturing its own line of personal computers. Tandon's disk drive business had revenues of $280 million in 1987, up from $78 million as recently as 1985.

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." Proverbs 25:11
Words matter and have a profound effect on us. We cherish comments, we prize praises, we appreciate accolades, and we treasure tributes. Words hold great value to us and deeply affect us. Especially kind words, fitly or aptly spoken. Words spoken appropriate to the circumstance, as this Bible proverb encourages, adorn us like beautify jewelry. We feel built up, invigorated, refreshed and even revived by words 'fitly' spoken.
I was going through some email just the other day and received a response to a question I had asked. In their response they share just a few words that were refreshing, like a cool drink on hot day. It was not much, just some words of application and an affirmation of our friendship. It not only lifted my spirits but strengthened my bond with him. His kind words were of great value to me.
The Bible book of Proverbs continues to help us use this value-giving opportunity of 'fitly' spoken words.
Proverbs 16:24 Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
Words that are sensitive, caring, courteous, kind-hearted, and thoughtful leave a lovely taste. It's saying 'please' and 'thank you,' and offering authentic praise. These are also words of understanding and expressions of hope and love. It's saying we care, we are sorry for another's pain, and sometimes not saying anything, but letting our presence speak an abundance of words.
These 'fitly' spoken words mean we need to think before we speak.
Proverbs 16:20-21 20 Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD. 21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.
It helps to take a pause before we speak and even ask of God to give us wisdom so our words are gracious and kind. Words are incredibly valuable and we should take care in using them. For the truth is…
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
Proverbs 15:23 To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and a word in season, how good it is!
Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Kind words are valuable, let's use them well and use them often. You could make someone's day with just a few words 'fitly' spoken. Will you?
Church is a good place to learn more of God's wisdom so we can be wise in our words. If you do not already attend a church, we would love to invite you to Cypress Church or one or our branch churches. Our web site has all the information for all our campuses: www.cypresschurch.net . It would be great to connect with you and share some valuable words..
Seeking spread the valuable words of kindness along with you,

Sorry that I haven't had time to post more this week, but that's the drawback of having two jobs. I wanted to write about Tuesday's All-Star Game but I only saw the last 2-3 innings. Oh well. The following is a column I wrote in the "Chimes" in the beginning of April. Enjoy:
I quit the baseball team in the fall. It was the best and worst decision I've made in my life.
I told myself that by quitting, I could focus more on academics, on work, on writing for the "Chimes". I could enjoy spending more time with my friends and perhaps even find that ever-elusive girlfriend. Most of all, I could finally relax.
And yet, not a day goes by where I don't long to be back on the mound, squinting in for the catcher's sign and firing in my 76-mph heater. I miss the camaraderie of being around the team and going through the ups-and-downs of the season. Most of all, I missed the competition.
Any truly successful athlete (or in my case, moderately successful) can tell you that competing and defeating another team or individual provides a great thrill, a great rush. And for me, 3-on-3 pickup games with friends just didn't cut it anymore. I needed to get back out onto the playing fields and prove myself again.
So I joined the golf team. Never mind that I never played on my high school team, that my scores were more reflective of Wilt Chamberlain's greatest output (100 points) than Tiger Woods (61), and my lone rounds of competitive golf were dollar-a-hole with my friends.
I practiced with Coach Kline twice before my first tournament. With a changed swing and a positive attitude, I felt nervous but eager to make my intercollegiate debut.
Unfortunately, there were no fairy-tale endings for this sports writer, only lost balls and triple bogeys. I won't reprint my score here, but let's say that it shattered Chamberlain's NBA scoring record. Much like The Fray, I was in "Over My Head" in that first tournament.
Still, the beauty of sports gives me another chance to repeat after a failure. I played much better in my second tournament; a 36-hole excursion at the Columbus Country Club that left me sunburned, fatigued and yet smiling from ear-to-ear. I had been knocked down but got up to answer the bell, as I will continue to do for the rest of the season.
At the end of his baseball memoir "Ball Four", former pitcher Jim Bouton said "You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out it was the other way around all the time." And to me, his statement rings true.
Even though I will always remain a baseball player at heart (I wear my Capital baseball hat when golfing), I am embracing the competitiveness and challenges of golf at the collegiate level. Judging by my current caliber of play, I follow a quote from another famous baseball player, Hank Aaron.
"It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball," Aaron said. "I did it in one afternoon on the golf course."

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The Market Vectors-Africa Index ETF started trading on the NYSE Arca on Monday, giving investors an easy way to capture growth in African countries like South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria.
The new ETF AFK, -1.21% was launched by New York-based asset manager Van Eck Global.
In their search for untapped returns, investors are increasingly turning to frontier markets, which tend to be smaller, riskier, underdeveloped and under-researched even by emerging markets standards.
With the exception of South Africa and possibly Egypt, Africa's equity markets fall into this frontier markets category.
"Africa may be turning a corner due to debt reduction, strong commodity prices and better economic management," said Jan van Eck, principal at Van Eck Global in a statement.
"However, there are considerable risks and investors should take a long-term perspective."
"Africa may be turning a corner due to debt reduction, strong commodity prices and better economic management."
The new ETF will replicate the price and yield performance of the Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 Index, a pan-African index that measures the stock performance of 50 companies that are headquartered in or generate the majority of their revenues in Africa.
The index, developed by Dow Jones Indexes, offers direct and indirect exposure to 11 countries in Africa: Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia.
"It was important for us to develop an investable index that gives true exposure to the African region and is open to all African countries that qualify for it," said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes, in a statement on Friday.
"This is the first pure African index to be used as underlying for an ETF," he said.

Each country's weight is capped at 25%, while weights of individual components are capped at 8%, with a maximum of 15 companies per country.
The top three holdings as of early July were Mobile Telecommunications, a Kuwait-based company with services in seven Middle Eastern and 15 sub-Saharan African countries; Tullow Oil (TLW), a London-based oil and gas exploration company with operations in Africa, Europe, South Asia and South America; and Sasol Ltd.

Returns and prices in the financial services sector have been pounded down severely, and although there's plenty of danger among financials, savvy investors are looking for opportunities to profit.
The returns of the three funds outlined below are symptomatic of the abysmal performance in the sector overall. Each has lost 40% or more of its value over the past three years. Although contrarian investors may be tempted to use these unloved funds as a potential way to profit from a turnaround, some of them have risks that go beyond their exposure to financials.
Fund specifics
Rydex Banking Fund Investor Class (RYKIX) is a team-managed fund that invests in companies in the much-maligned banking sector. The fund invests in a variety of commercial banks, thrifts, and beleaguered mortgage finance stocks. JPMorgan Chase
ProFunds Banks UltraSector Fund (BKPSX) provides leveraged exposure to the Dow Jones U.S. Banks Index. This index includes all regional and major U.S. domiciled international banks, savings and loans, savings banks, and thrifts. Although there are roughly 280 stocks in the index, the fund owns about 80 stocks. Three of these, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America
Fidelity Select Home Finance (FSVLX) invests in companies providing mortgages and other consumer loans and related services associated with home finance. The fund has its heaviest exposure to mortgage giants Freddie Mac

Fund prospects and risks
The financial services sector has been in a downward spiral, and the ever-worsening credit crisis has helped to make this sector one of the worst performers. Market sentiment has been decidedly negative for stocks in this sector, and an investor should expect volatile markets and wide fluctuations in price.
Although storm clouds over financials have far from disappeared, it's possible that most of the bad news might be incorporated in share prices, limiting any further downside for these funds. With the sector so beaten down, there is the potential for overreaction on the upside to positive news, which could be a boon to holders in this sector -- and especially for ProFunds owners, because of the fund's 150% leveraged positions.
Unfortunately for fund investors, that rebound may come too late. Of these three funds, Fidelity Select still has enough assets to give it a good chance of surviving. The other two funds, on the other hand, have shrunk to the point where it's uncertain how long they'll be able to continue operating.
Portfolio fit?
Contrarian investing does not always pay off; sometimes, the market takes its own sweet time recovering from a downturn. Investors unable to withstand the extreme volatility of the financial sector may want to look elsewhere for investment opportunities. For those able to put up with short-term fluctuations or extended periods of negative returns, financials may pay significant rewards over the long run -- but don't bank on it happening tomorrow.

In this article we will explain the differences between Shirogami (also called #1 steel) and Aogami (also called #2 steel).
- The words Ao and Shiro mean blue and white.
- Gami means metal.
- The numbers 1 and 2 are grade differences. It all has to do with the carbon content and the alloy content.
Shirogami Steel
The white paper steel is super pure. It has very low alloy content and high carbon. It is super for hamon blades.
Aogami Steel
The blue paper has some alloying added, and is high carbon. It makes really sharp and tough working knives for chefs. These two steels are considered the cream of the crop in fine blades.
#2 steels often have karouchi finish, like this Yu Kurosaki Blue Super Cladd Kurouchi Japanese Chef's Knife Gyuto 240mm:
Suminagashi is a laminated billet with a white paper core and layered sides. It is a low-layer damascus with a medium thick solid core. The wavy upper sides add a good look to medium and large blades.
The laminated steel has a thin white paper core and soft iron ( like wrought iron) sides. It makes great slicers with a dark spine and a bright edge. When grinding it, you have to make sure you orient the core at the final edge. This makes a really good looking and tough small to medium size knife. It is also perfect for a tanto blade or small wakizashi.
Note: The main advantage of the low alloy is using a water or brine quench without warp and cracking.
Now, as far as equivalent in function and performance, many steels will be similar, but they won't have the name recognition that Hitachi steel will give the knife.

I am new to Teradata, and am still trying to find my way home. I have been looking for a way to end a parameter if I use it in a statement. Here is the statement I am trying to write, where project and plan are parameters, but _pass1 is just text. When I run this statement I am prompted for the ?project_pass1 parameter. Is there a way to end a parameter?
drop table mydb.?project_pass1?plan;
I guess you are using SQL assistent - correct?
Documentation is indicating that it will not work.
Named Parameters are indicated by a "?" immediately followed by a name. The name can consist of alphanumeric characters plus the "_" symbol.
Yes sql assistant, I found the same documentation, but was hoping there was something out there that I was not finding. Thanks for the reponse.

My Nanny is great. You would NEVER think she is 80! She's had a number of health issues over the last few years but she's still as sharp as a tack. I think I take after her alot.. in that I'm very lucky as I have inherited her great skin and her sense of style.
|Nanny on the left in the 1940s
For the 40 years I have known Nanny I have never known her to be without matching shoes, handbag, necklace & earrings. She would never DREAM of leaving the house without being 'dressed'. She's always worn minimal makeup but would never step outside without lippie & blush on.
Nanny has been known to hit a Lifeline store with $5 and come out with a complete outfit that looked like it come straight out of the latest issue of Marie Claire.
I'd never known Nanny to say a bad word about anyone and she certainly would never swear. That is until the day she shocked the family by announcing "I don't like that Karl Stephanovic. He's a dickhead!".
|Nanny & Grandad off to a dance in the 1950s
It was such a lovely day & we got to catch up with all the family which was awesome.
Happy Birthday Nanny!
I decided to write a poem.
When I was but a wee little girlMy favourite time of all
Was having lunch at Nanny & Grandad's
We'd always have a ball.
The family would gather on a Sunday
But sometimes if I was really good
Nanny would pull me aside
"If you have a look in the fridge" she'd say
So none of the other grandkids saw, she'd smuggle me one
"Fank yo Nanny" I'd mumble.
I'd sit in front of her beautiful dresser
Her lovely little porcelain figures
Her jewellery, brushes & rings
Always well groomed my Nanny
Handbag, shoes, earrings & slacks
Co-ordinated all the way.
Every year on my birthday

This past weekend the Ohio Wizard of Oz Festival arrived with many costumed folk and little dogs in tow. Don Davis (the event organizer) put his heart and soul into the event. Yes there were some issues, (what new event doesn't have issues) but many people had a wonderful time. This town has not seen anything like this! There were more good witches than bad witches! More "Dorothys" than flying monkeys! I sincerely hope that this becomes an annual event. Here are some pictures from a few of the events.

My Lent began well, except for the head cold that settled in on Wednesday, making clarity of mind a chore and preaching and ministering to others an uphill struggle.
As we usually do, we begin this great season with a reminder on the First Sunday of Lent of the surety of temptation in our lives - for the evil one, emboldened by his tempting of Jesus, does not hesitate to entice us with his words. We have those images of the little guy in the red suit with pitch fork and horns on our shoulder telling us to do this or to do that. As Geraldine used to say: "The devil made me do it!" But he is much more subtle. I reminded the people this weekend that temptation of every stripe is to be guarded against at every moment with the grace provided by the Lord, but that the temptation to do nothing, to be uninvolved in the lives of others, to walk on the periphery, to not immerse ourselves in the journey to holiness that we have received at Baptism, to simply "be" rather than to "live", is the more deadly and life threatening temptation. This is what we must guard against. This is what we must resist. And we do so through the bountiful blessings of the Lord.
The Lenten Prayer Over the People for the First Sunday of Lent prays:
"May bountiful blessings, O Lord, we pray,
come down upon your people,
that hope may grow in tribulation,
virtue be strengthened in temptation,
and eternal redemption be assured.
Through Christ our Lord."

A Canadian man will go before a New York court on Saturday accused of murder and conspiracy over the killing of five U.S. soldiers in Iraq, American prosecutors said.
Faruq Khalil Muhammad Isa, 36, allegedly helped to orchestrate a truck bombing carried out by a Tunisian jihadist on a U.S. base in Mosul, northern Iraq, on April 10, 2009, that killed the five American soldiers.
His network was also allegedly responsible for another suicide attack carried out by Tunisians on an Iraqi police station on March 31, 2009, that killed at least seven Iraqis.
"We will continue to use every available means to bring to justice those who are responsible for the deaths of American servicemen and women who paid the ultimate price in their defense of this nation," said Loretta Lynch, U.S. attorney for the eastern district of New York.
Isa, who was arrested in Canada on Monday and extradited to New York, will appear in a U.S. federal court in Brooklyn.
He is charged with five counts of murder for each soldier, conspiracy to murder American citizens and with providing material support to terrorists.
If convicted he could face life in prison.

Eleven 1460th soldiers could be home by week's end
The Midland-based 1460th National Guard Transportation Company will welcome more returning soldiers this week.
Capt. John Collins III, the companys commander, said 11 soldiers are now undergoing outprocessing at Fort McCoy, Wis. Most 1460th soldiers completed their outprocessing last Wednesday and returned to Midland and a homecoming parade on Thursday.
But 12 soldiers volunteered to stay behind in Kuwait, mainly to oversee the loading of equipment. Eleven soldiers were able to return to the United States early, and three soldiers in that group accompanied the rest on the bus to Midland. Those three had to return to Fort McCoy Sunday night for outprocessing. Collins said the other eight soldiers chose to stay at Fort McCoy. All 11 soldiers could complete outprocessing by weeks end.
The 12th soldier, from the Jackson-based 1461st, stayed in Kuwait and will return at a later date.

The treasurers of several women's self-help groups in the village of Gairkata (outside Siliguri, India) show Audrey their accounting and roll-call books. Each group has a meeting once a month; members have to pay a meeting fee of 20-25 Rs ($0.50) that gets put into an emergency fund (to bail out or help a member in need). The books also keep track of all the loans dispersed in the group and repayment. Some of these women learned to read and count through the self-help groups and training provided with them.

Once again, my on-again/off-again love afair with blogging has blossomed.
After winning the 2009 AFL Premiership over St Kilda it all became too much or me.
Days of partying stretched into weeks, which stretched into Months.
And now we are back.
So strap yourselves in for another season of semi-regular installments filled with what's fallen out of my mind.

The question is so often asked, "Do we reincarnate?" And the answer is a qualified yes. Aspects do, yes. The real you has no form. The human thinks in terms of identifiable, separate forms. That form-like aspect of you does not come back again so that you would recognize it walking down the street. Yes, we see you smiling at this silly concept. And so we smile as well when you worry that one you love who has passed will reincarnate before you get to join them and so will be lost to you. You need not worry (about anything, ever). Consciousness is an energy form, and it is true what you are taught: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, merely transformed.
You and the one who has died are Aspects of Consciousness ... Aspects of Greater Consciousness. When in human form, the Aspect of
Consciousness takes on certain characteristics which result in the soul's
growth. This is the point of human
existence: adding to the Whole. After you have added what we hope is more
Love to the Whole, a bit of the Whole of You may decide to go back and take on
form yet again for yet more growth.
Those aspects that were you do not completely gel into one form and
become lost to those who once loved you. No,
the Aspect of Consciousness that was you will always, yes, always remain
recognizable as the Aspect of Consciousness known as you, even when bits (if
formless energy can be referred to as bits) of the Greater You are now off
having another experience as a human for the growth of it.
Do you see?
Fear not. There is only Love,
only Being, only One Mind, and billions of aspects of That. Love never dies. It merely goes round and round, growing ever
brighter, ever stronger as you, and you, and you, and you.
"Life is full of tests. They are not multiple choice. There is only one answer: Love." Suzanne Giesemann
Who is Sanaya? Suzanne Giesemann answers:
Who is Sanaya? Suzanne Giesemann answers: "Sanaya (pronounced "sah-NIGH-ah") has told us that she is a collective consciousness of minds with both a feminine and masculine energy. This energy comes from a higher dimension than our own. When I bring through Sanaya's words, I am "tapping in" to Higher Consciousness. I am allowing that Consciousness to express itself through my body: through my brain, through my vocal cords, my arms, my hands, and also through my pen. Sanaya would not need a name, except for our human need to put labels on things and place our experiences into well-defined boxes. Sanaya takes us outside the box into a dimension where we come face to face with our higher selves. To hear the words of Sanaya as they come through ... to sit in the presence of that energy ... is a palpable experience of higher vibration ... of love. To read Sanaya's words can have the same result when you tune in to that finer energy as you read." (To read the full explanation of who and what Sanaya is along with transcripts of longer sessions click here.)

We here at Padamn have taken on the role as official-unofficial spokespersons over the years (PBR: It's Acceptable!!and of course Stagg musical equipment)…and now we want to make sure all our people's know about the best little spot in Nashville- The Night Owl.
We have had the pleasure of playing there several times over the last couple of years, just last week choosing to celebrate the release of our album there, in fact, and have really come to love it. There are few places left in Nashville that are as authentic; a place that loves music, musicians, and the people who come to see it. It's just, easy and simple, which is becoming harder to find in a town that has so many pay-for-play spots. For musicians you have to love a well lit, well maintained stage- one that gives you the choices and freedom to play your music the way you want.
From a customer's perspective it's even better. Full bar and full menu that is shockingly reasonably priced, clean and smoke free inside, plenty of seating both high and low. Take a look at their calendar and you'll see there's almost always something going on. Best of all, Randy and his staff are friendly, approachable, and accommodating.
Padamn have agreed among ourselves that The Night Owl is our favorite spot in town, both to play and to, well, play. Every time we have invited other bands to perform on our bill there we hear the same thing from them as well; "this place is amazing!" We want to encourage everyone to stop by Nashville's best kept bar and check them out.

When I think back on my life, the library has always played a huge role and been a strong force in my creative development. I love libraries!! I feel safe when I live near one and have fond childhood memories of my stay at home mama walking my siblings and I to the library every Saturday morning. I was so excited when I found out our 4 year old could apply for a library card here in Georgia. He was so excited and woke up reminding us so we didn't forget to go. I was also excited to pass on the love of reading and libaries to him. I hope that he remains a life long book lover.
What are your early memories of reading and the library?

Artist Statement
I create art for the ones who lost their voice a long time ago. I believe that impromptu spectacles can bring awareness to social justice issues that paralyze our communities. Lady Terror examines the relationship between public space and performance space and also explores ranting as a medium to address social issues and as a tool to empower communities. My art is local and neighborhood specific in its execution but global in its ideas around poverty, injustice and violence.

|Source: Samsung website. The Samsung Gear S3 frontier LTE works on Singtel's 4G LTE network.
Singtel has announced the availability of the Samsung Gear S3 frontier (LTE) on its 4G LTE network. Embedded with an eSIM*, the smart watch boasts standalone 4G LTE connectivity, allowing users to make calls, send texts and surf the Internet independently of a smartphone.
Customers on Singtel's network will also enjoy 4G ClearVoice or VoLTE. Singtel is the only operator outside of US and South Korea to offer support for this standard, which enables crystal-clear voice calls.
Gear S3 frontier (LTE) is available at all Singtel Shops for S$598 and will come with a complimentary strap worth S$68**. To enable connectivity on their wearable, existing Singtel mobile postpaid customers can sign up for a Mobileshare plan at a promotional launch price of S$5.35 monthly.
New customers can get connected with Singtel's SIM Only starter pack which includes 5GB of data (3GB local mobile data and 2GB Singtel Premium WiFi) for S$20. Once their wearable's eSIM is activated with a QR code, they can begin surfing at Singapore's fastest LTE mobile data speeds and making 4G ClearVoice calls on Singtel's network.
*Unlike a conventional removable SIM card, an eSIM is permanently fitted into smart devices. It does not actually require a physical card, and is activated with a QR code.
