I started cooking about ten years ago because I had been eating frozen meals forever, and I noticed that at age 30, I started gaining weight. And by gaining weight, I mean I finally got above 150 pounds. Not grossly fat, not even overweight, at a more appropriate weight for my height and build, but it was really odd to notice I was finally not just eating and burning all the calories.
I'd always been a stick and now I'm close to average but my weight was still climbing slowly, so I figured my metabolism had down-shifted. I mean, I'm not inactive, but at the time I pretty much just sat at my laptop, watching TV and playing around with computer stuff.
So, I started walking at least a mile every day while listening to music and podcasts, and I changed my commute to use the train or buses more than driving, so I'd have to walk a bit, but I was still fluctuating.
I looked in the fridge, and I saw all frozen meals from the grocery store. I looked at the labels, and I was kinda worried. Not that I was worried about chemicals or such, but I saw a heck of a lot of fat and salt, and I didn't really taste it in these meals.
If I had decided to start cooking fifteen or twenty years ago, I might not have had as much success, but the Internet and Google made finding recipes easier. So, I started simply, with soups and stews, just to learn the basics.
And I got my weight to stop wandering so much. But I didn't like eating the same three things all week, and just buying mixes or kits instead of frozen meals wasn't satisfying.
I eventually tried to make an Irish stew for a potluck at work, and was surprised by how much people liked it. Usually at potlucks you have leftovers – but the crock pot might as well have been licked clean.
I started experimenting with changing recipes I found online, and when I made something good that wasn't just following a recipe, I'd bring some over to Dad to see if it really was good, and if he approved, I'd start experimenting more. I tried to start writing things down, but I wasn't as good at documenting things as I would've liked.
Eventually websites started showing up, like SeriousEats.com and Crock-Pot.com and I started seeing variations on recipes. So, I could start opening different variations in other windows and tabs, and comparing.
I started seeing how some spices worked, but I wasn't really understanding the idea.
A couple of years ago, now, I went to Florida to visit my brother, and we went to a Chinese supermarket. My eyes were opened. It was amazing. I should've taken more pictures, because the vegetables and plants were jaw-dropping in their variety.
But then we turned a corner, and there were tanks of fish, living fish, and other things from watery environs. And then we turned another corner, and there were aisles and aisles of frozen things. And further along, spices from floor to ceiling.
We just kept walking through this store, completely overloaded, just trying to absorb what we were looking at. There were frozen noodles made from almost every variety of ingredient you could possibly use to make noodles, and we found the same in dried noodles. We found more kinds of ramen than we thought could exist. We found meats and fishes that were mythical in variety.
This grocery store was like three joined together. We almost emptied our bank accounts, but came to our senses before we reached the checkout. We settled on a few things.
But when I came back to Minnesota, I started looking up recipes I always disregarded as not-me. You know – those recipes that are from cultures us white people really screwed over a couple hundred years ago, and keep screwing over today. But letting guilt guide your interests and enjoyments in arenas like cooking is a little stupid.
I started playing, honestly just enjoying the exercise of creativity. I started looking at cooking the same way I used to look at making art, (a way I hope to again, one day,) and my kitchen became a playground.
Because cooking is like science that you get to taste. Science doesn't always have that guarantee, and eating some experiments can be really bad for you. But cooking usually results in something fun, and if it doesn't, there's a chance to rescue it.
I may have just jinxed myself with that last statement, but it holds true, mostly. In ten years I've only had to throw out a few things. But I learned valuable lessons about the difference between freshly ground pepper and pre-ground pepper. Or that cumin seeds and powder are not a 1-for-1 exchange.
Regardless, I don't know if you readers have found that kind of thing in your own lives. I really hope you do, or that you have.
Now I'm off to watch some Adventure Time and prep some stuff to make refried beans, and maybe get the stuff to make a good meatloaf. The freezer is getting a little spare. Have fun, readers.

Here۪s one of the most important composition tip used by professional landscape photographers to create engaging images. This technique could also work well for other genres of photography including architecture, interior and people photography.
|Photo by: Tim Donnelly
The trick to make your images dynamic is to add an interesting foreground element in your landscape photos. The right combination of a strong foreground element and an interesting or beautiful background could create very dramatic images. In nature a beautiful background is easy to find but a strong foreground to go with the scene is a bit hard; and that۪s the reason why professional landscape photographers spend hours in the field looking for interesting subjects that could work as a foreground element in their shots.
|Photo by: Alexander Shchukin
So remember a strong foreground element is critical and finding one should be your first priority once you have come across a beautiful scene that you wish to photograph. In fact the first question you should ask yourselves when you see a beautiful scene in front of your should be – Where۪s the foreground? Once you have found a workable foreground subject mount an ultra wide angle lens on your camera and get very close to your foreground element for a very dramatic photograph.
The Classic Landscape Photography Composition Technique Step by Step
|landscape photography composition technique
1. Mount an ultra wide angle lens on your camera.2. Use a sturdy tripod.3. Use low ISO value like ISO 100 for maximum details and less noise.4. Shoot in RAW file format for maximum flexibility while post processing.5. Set your camera to Aperture Priority mode.6. Use a narrow aperture like f/16 or f/22 for large depth of field.7. Set your lens to its hyperfocal distance.
Now comes the most important part
|Photo by: Dany Tolenga
Compose your frame such that there is an interesting element in the foreground which should be placed a foot or two in front (nearer to the camera) of the hyperfocal distance.
For example
Imagine you are shooting with a 16mm lens set to f/16 on a full frame camera. With a full frame camera and a 16mm lens the hyperfocal distance is 0.5meters. So practically everything from 0.25meters to infinity will be in focus.
|Photo by: Brent Pearson
We are placing a foreground element one foot closer to the camera than the hyperfocal distance and it is well within the depth of field coverage. As a result we will have a picture where everything from the foreground element to infinity is in focus.
|Photo by: Wynand
The real secret behind this technique lies in the properties of wide angle lenses. The unique perspective (exaggerates the foreground elements) thus obtained is the reason why such shots are able to dramatically transform ordinary scenes. If one is knowledgeable about this effect and knows how to use it to create interest in his/her shots then this technique could be applied with much success in so many different photographic scenarios. Once you master the technique you will surely see a marked improvement in your compositions.
Bonus Tip
We have already stated that finding interesting foreground elements could be a hard job. With a little imagination you could easily place some props in the scene which could work equally well. Here۪s one example.
|Photo by: heather buckley
Have fun. Consider the images given as examples in this article. Try to imagine how the pictures would have looked had there been no foreground element and you will realize its real impact. If you have any image shot using this technique feel free to share it us in comments below.

You don't have to be a herpetologist to savor the slice of this federal forest where a stunning array of reptiles and amphibians congregates beneath soaring limestone bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River.
Whether trained zoologist or weekend hiker—or in my case, someone with a lifelong aversion to the scaly creatures after a frightening childhood encounter on a family trip to Florida— a visit to the place locals call Snake Road offers a glance of biological diversity worth the 100-mile (160-kilometer) detour from St. Louis into rural southern Illinois.
For two months each spring, the U.S. Forest Service closes a 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) road segment to car traffic to allow migrating snakes, lizards, frogs and salamanders to move freely from their winter habitat along and beneath the bluffs to their summer feeding grounds in the low-lying swamp to the west. The road is again closed each September and October as the migration reverses.
Before the federal agency first restricted vehicular access to the LaRue-Pine Hills/Otter Pond Research Area more than four decades ago, hunters "would come down here with pickup trucks and shotguns and shoot every snake on the road," said Charlie Hoessle, 83, a retired St. Louis Zoo director and unabashed snake lover who has visited the area since the 1950s.
"The attitude then was, 'The only good snake was a dead snake,'" he said. "In my generation, I was the only kid who was fascinated by snakes. Nobody else wanted to have anything to do with them."
Snake Road now attracts visitors from across the country, said Chad Deaton, a Forest Service wildlife biologist. On a recent weekday afternoon, the visitors included a retired contractor from San Diego, a suburban Chicago father and his two young sons and a group of biology students and their professor from Eastern Illinois University. The surrounding research area is home to more than 1,200 species of plants and animals, including bobcats and bald eagles, and 35 kinds of snakes.
Overturning rocks, peeking into darkened dens or just strolling along the road, the hikers found a ring-necked hatchling small enough to fit in the palm of a hand and a red-backed salamander, as well as the less approachable—and venomous—timber rattlesnake and cottonmouth water moccasin.
Snake Road is no "Raiders of the Lost Ark" —the snakes don't dominate the landscape but instead blend into the natural environment. So patience is a virtue and, with all things Mother Nature, so is a bit of luck.
That said, warm and sunny days when the ground is adequately heated offer the best viewing conditions, according to Deaton, with late morning and late afternoon particularly good times of day.
Hoessle, who was hired by famed zoologist and "Wild Kingdom" TV host Marlin Perkins at the St. Louis Zoo, calls Snake Road an invaluable living classroom to help better understand the natural environment.
"They're not cuddly like cats and dogs. You don't get a lot of affection," the former exotic pet store owner said, describing the reptilian aversion of many. "But it teaches you an appreciation for wildlife in general. This is a natural world. Man and beast have to live together."
If You Go:
SNAKE ROAD: Cars are kept out from March 15 through May 15 and again from Sept. 1 through Oct. 30. From St. Louis, go east on U.S. 64 and take the first exit after crossing the Mississippi River onto southbound Illinois Route 3. After crossing Illinois Route 149, continue south for 14 miles (22 kilometers), passing the town of Grand Tower, and turn left on Muddy Levee Road just after crossing the Big Muddy River.
Remain on the levee road for 3 miles (5 kilometers) until you reach a T-intersection, then turn right on LaRue Road. The parking lot for the LaRue-Pine Hills/Otter Pond Research Area (better known as Snake Road) is on the right.

The U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee begins its confirmation hearings today for nominee Sonya Sotomayor. The Post had a great piece yesterday from her collegiate mentor at Princeton that shows her to be precisely the kind of hard-working, fair-minded, and deeply read person we want on the Court.
It appears that Sotomayor's nomination is assured but that does not mean the hearings will be boring, as another article in this morning's paper indicates. This may be the GOP's last chance to rehearse the Nixon strategy of playing to white resentment, a strategy that might work for fending off a primary challenge from the base but could also continue to alienate Latino voters from the Republican ranks. George W. Bush, who supported comprehensive immigration reform, garnered 44 percent of the Latino vote in 2004 but that support collapsed after the GOP in Congress killed the immigration reform effort and the primaries forced even John McCain to abandon his support for it. McCain only took 30 percent of the Latino vote according to exit polls, a drop that cost him the states of Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and most likely Florida as well.
Sotomayor is from Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans have had very different experiences of life in America from that of other Latinos. For starters, they are already citizens, so they do not have to face the hurdle of attaining a legal status here. Their immigration to the states came before either the Cuban emigration of the 1960s or the large increase in Central American workers over the past several decades. This is why Puerto Ricans often, like Sotomayor, are the first to break through the glass ceilings.
You can pick almost any sector of the government or business and find a talented Puerto Rican in place. I once had a truly bizarre incident that highlights this point. I was preparing to move to Little Rock and was making a round of phone calls to say good-bye. On one such, I forgot to put in the area code digits. A person picked up the phone at the other end of the line and said, "White House Situation Room." Oops. But, here was the freaky part. The person who picked up the phone was a Puerto Rican State Department official who I have known since he was born. His name was further down on my list of people to call. It took us awhile to figure out what had happened.
In the ecclesiastical realm, Puerto Ricans have a slightly different status because in the Church, Puerto Rico is part of Latin America, not part of the U.S. So, Archbishop of San Juan Roberto Gonzalez, is a member of CELAM not the USCCB, but he attends the USCCB meetings as an observer and, because he served previously as bishop of Corpus Christi and auxiliary in Boston, he is often in the states as he was this past Saturday for the ordination of J. Augustine DiNoia, O.P. to the episcopate. Also, Puerto Ricans paved the way, in a negative manner, for other Latinos. In the 1950s, Cardinal Spellman refused to build national parishes for the Puerto Ricans the way the Church had done for the Poles and the French and the Hungarians. Evangelicals made strong inroads into the Puerto Rican community by opening small churches in their neighborhoods. By the time the Cubans and Central Americans came, the U.S. Church recognized the need of having a special apostolate.
There is one lesson I hope the White House does not learn from the hearings. In the post, a liberal activist argues, "The stronger the vote [for Sotomayor], the stronger is the message to the president and his team that we have some bandwidth here, or some leeway for more progressive nominees. That's why there's so much energy for a candidate that you pretty much know is going to be confirmed." I think the reason Sotomayor is such a slamdunk is not because of liberal bandwidth, but precisely because she is not overly liberal, because she brings experience as a trial judge that no other justice has, and because even on the cases where you disagree with her decisions, it is not hard to see how she was trying to apply Supreme Court precedents. I hope the President recognizes that nominating centrist to the bench helps him with mainstream, independent voters. The activists who want the president to lurch to the left have to ask themselves one question: How will your proposed course of action play with a voter who went for Bush in 2004 and Obama in 2008? Those are the voters that matter most and I suspect the President and his team are acutely aware of that.
So, tune in to the hearings. They will permit all Americans to get to know Sotomayor better, as well as how the GOP plans to mold itself for the future. I suspect she will shine and I suspect the GOP senators will be less hostile than their activist base wants. There will be no Borking this time round and much of the credit for that fact goes to President Obama for nominating such a top flight judge.
Rican context, especially the colonial relationship with the United States and
its implications for religious matters-Catholic as well as Protestant. The
complex Protestant heritage of Puerto Rico is more than a century old and in
part related to the US colonization of the island in 1898.
Furthermore, Sonia Sotomayor is a Puerto Rican born and raised in the Bronx,
NY. Her interest in matters concerning Puerto Rico is evident in the topic of
her senior thesis at Princeton University. Her parents are US citizens from
Puerto Rico who migrate to New York. As one would not refer to a citizen who
moved from New Jersey to New York as an immigrant, the same holds true for
Puerto Ricans. They are not immigrants. The recent Pew Report on Puerto
Ricans seems to indicate that even citizenship is not a ticket to opportunity [url=http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1280/profile-puerto-ricans-living-in-us]http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1280/profile-puerto-ricans-living-in-us[/url]
It is also worth noting while the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a member of
CELAM, the English-speaking US Virgin Islands are a part of the USCCB and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of American Samoa,
and the Territory of Guam all belong to the Episcopal Conference of the
One would hope that the current reality of the US Catholic Church, with our Latin@
plurality, would invite respectful analysis and not a condescending remark like
"You can pick almost any sector of the government or business and find a
talented Puerto Rican in place."
Carmen Nanko-Fernández
I expect a down and dirty fight until the very last second, with a mostly party-line vote (the two Maine moderate GOP senators would be the only ones daring to break the party line).
I've enjoyed your posts so much recently, and then you come up with this:
''I suspect she will shine and I suspect the GOP senators will be less hostile than their activist base wants. There will be no Borking this time round and much of the credit for that fact goes to President Obama for nominating such a top flight judge.''
You, of course, remember that it was the Democrats who invented and perfected ''Borking''? If I'm not mistaken, Judge Bork is a Catholic as well? I was impressed that the Republicans today so strongly held their ground without taking the path that those good Catholic senators Kennedy & Biden took last time in accusing that good Catholic justice, Alito, of being a racist. Funny how that line of questioning was not called "hostile" or "Borking" by the media. Or of baselessly accusing so many other good men and women of being racists (I'm thinking of Judge Pickering especially). Of course, don't forget that they ''pandered'' to their nativist base by defending Miguel Estrada's nomination, a nomination stalled and attacked by the left. Sorry, I try to be fair-minded, but the Democratic party has completely ruined judicial nominations, and as a consequence, in my view, ruined itself. Lindsey Graham's statement today is a much clearer expression of my opinion.

Revel's last hand? [AUDIO]
Once touted as a symbol of rebirth for Atlantic City's gambling industry, the city's newest casino could shut its doors for good by the end of summer.
For the second time since opening in April 2012, Revel Casino Hotel filed for bankruptcy Thursday. However, the stakes are much higher this time around, as a letter distributed to employees told them they could be out of a job if a buyer isn't found quickly.
A solid segment of the casino's debt was wiped out during the first bankruptcy filing last year, but Revel continued its pattern of hemorrhaging money, including a $21.7 million loss in the first quarter of this year.
"Unfortunately, it could mean the loss of a couple thousand jobs," said Roger Gros, publisher of Global Gaming Business Magazine. "This is a property that employs a lot of people."
Gros referred to Revel's approach as "unique," as several casino properties have gone through multiple bankruptcy filings in the past, but never closed their doors.
A price tag for the $2.4 billion casino is unknown, but the latest filing should provide a solid discount for prospective buyers.

Port of Los Angeles moves 808,728 TEUs; Second-busiest January in Port's history
SAN PEDRO, Calif. – February 14, 2018 – The Port of Los Angeles handled 808,728 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in January 2018, the second-busiest January in the port's history behind last January's record of 826,640 TEUs. While a slight decrease compared to last January's record, it's significantly higher than the port's most recent 5-year January average of 683,003 TEUs.
"After two consecutive years of record-breaking cargo, it's encouraging to start 2018 with robust volumes," said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. "It's only the seventh time we have eclipsed the 800,000 TEU mark in a single month, and we're grateful to our supply chain partners for their continued confidence in our world-class infrastructure, innovative technology solutions and extraordinary customer service."
Strong January volumes are due in part to retail stores replenishing inventories after the holidays, and cargo ships calling ahead of the Lunar New Year, when goods from Asia slow down considerably.
January 2018 imports increased 1.8 percent to 422,831 TEUs compared to the previous year. Exports decreased 7.6 percent to 150,035 TEUs while empty containers decreased 5.2 percent to 235,861 TEUs. Combined, January overall volumes were 808,728 TEUs, a 2.2 percent decrease compared to last year.

Building Applications for a Multi-Device World
A talk by Yehuda Katz (wycats) at Mobile Computing Summit
About the Talk
June 29, 2011 7:00 PM
Hyatt Regency SF Airport, Burlingame, CAHyatt Regency SF Airport, Burlingame, CA
Just a few years ago, most computer users used just one computing device: their home computer. These days, more and more people have a number of computing devices, everything from the traditional home computer to netbooks, telephones and tablet devices. And as technology marches forward, even traditional consumer electronic devices like televisions have become more likely to serve double duty as computing devices.
In dealing with this changing environment, companies often consider these other computing devices as a completely separate ecosystem from their existing application. "Mobile strategy" has become synonymous with "build an iPhone (and maybe Android) app".
Instead, application developers should be thinking about the fundamental ways that the multi-device environment affects user behavior. Users don't think about their iPhone as an island separate from the web application, and neither should you. Instead, think about how your users behave when they leave your web application on their desktop computers and want to continue on their phone or tablet. Think about how things will change when even more devices, like televisions enter the mix.
In this talk, Yehuda will talk about how the multi-device user changes how you should build applications. As a core developer on the SproutCore and Rails projects, he will also cover specific ways that you can use web technologies to advance this objective.
The talk will be somewhat technical, but will also be appropriate for those looking to better understand the ways that application development is changing to meet the challenges described above.

I would like to hear your comments about this Sudoku variation but most importantly about this specific one that I published.
Are there any "standards" for these? In terms of symmetry for instance, there are a few ways that these could be made symmetrical.

Today, August 20th is a full moon and it is also a blue moon. But the meaning of a blue moon has apparently been misinterpreted over the years, not meaning what you thought it did. If you are like me, I understood a blue moon to be the second full moon in any given month, but that is not true of the moon today. This untrue tale has been passed around for years now and it's time to break the rumor and spell out what a blue moon is really all about.
According to the old Maine Farmer's Almanac, an article including a question and answer series, published way back in the 1943 edition of Sky & Telescope Magazine explained the original definition of the 'blue moon' as occasionally "one of the four seasons would contain four full moons instead of the usual three." In the case of the unusual fourth full moon in a calendar season, the third would be called the 'blue moon', as is true with the full moon today.
The Maine 1937 Farmer's Almanac continued to explain that in nineteen years there would be roughly only seven blue moons, and since it used to be difficult to predict and calculate such a rare event the saying 'once in a blue moon' came about. At that time, names were given to each full moon in a season, for example in summer you would have — the early full moon, the midsummer moon and the late summer moon. If there were four full moons in a season, the third would be called the 'blue' moon, so the fourth could take the 'late' moon position. Which is what happened in August of 1937, the year of the Maine Farmer's Almanac.
Going back to Sky & Telescope Magazine in 1943, the author of the article to which we are referring was James Hugh Pruett and he did not have the Almanac to reference when he was explaining the process of naming full moons and such. So, an error occurred when he made the following statement: "Seven times in 19 years there were — and still are — 13 full moons in a year. This gives 11 months with one full moon each and one with two. This second in a month, so I interpret it, was called Blue Moon." However, that year the full moon to which he was referring, on August 21st of 1943, was not the second in the month — it was just like the one we are having today — the third of four full moon of the summer season. The season runs all the way through the Fall equinox, according to astronomical references, and since we have another month to go until that fated date — we will also see another full moon.
All of the mis-referencing and mis-understanding of Pruett would have been possibly overlooked if it weren't for radio host Deborah Byrd who used Pruett's article on StarDate, her National Public Radio program, on Jan. 31, 1980. It was all over after that, the message of the 'blue moon' being the second full moon of a calendar month went viral and the rest is history — or 'her' story as the case may be.
This summer, in 2013, the full moons fall on June 23, July 22, Aug. 20 and Sept. 19. So, according to the original definition of the blue moon, we would be experiencing one today. In case you liked the newer definition of two full moons in one month, well, apparently that won't happen again until July of 2015. Until then, enjoy this full moon no matter what you want to call it.
Will this blue moon be blue? Well, now we know that a blue moon isn't necessarily what you thought, but it will surely still be beautiful. If there is any pollution in the air, especially from the aftermath of forest fires or volcanic eruptions, you may actually see the moon as blue tonight, as ash in the sky can color the moon as such. In any event — get out under the moon tonight and find joy in basking in its silvery rays — whether blue or not.

Au Terreur
Terreur, je n'ai eu pas des amis que j'adore comme j'adorais mes amis il y a trois ans.
Terreur, I have never had any friends that I love as much as those I had three years ago, before I left. At recess and lunch I stand with a group of people of whom some accept me while many of them don't, and only go to the movies in their tight-knit group.
But what's really sad? My long-term memory. The fact that I can't even remember the inside part of "The Parliament". I miss having true friends, save for the few I have gained and kept.
I wished I could have reacted bigger when I drove past you today, but when I drive, I grip the wheel very tight and my hands go white.
I stuck with you for a year and a half because I loved you, no matter what.
And now there is nothing, and I live on the hill, writing day after day and trying to maintain a blog so I can help other writers and entertain people and market my novel. And to feel that people actually like me because of who I am, what I know and what I do.
I haven't heard from Mykaelah since, but I know Brod well enough. One day Clinky asked if we could go to Fountain Gate. I said "sounds cool, I'll see when I'm available". And I never spoke to her about it again.
I got a text from Sarah once. It said she "liked" me. I probably responded with something like "okay", and never spoke of it again. Because I loved you, and I was with you, and she was your friend and I didn't want to hurt you.
Isn't it funny how the past seems to have disintegrated? Like it's so long ago that it never existed. It feels like a dream to me. It feels like a dream I had this morning, and a dream that I would have for the future. Wouldn't it be a dream to be around people you love and who love you back?
I had my dream three years ago, and now it's gone.
So I'm looking at a new dream. Not the dream of this morning, but the dream I'll have tonight. To be with someone who loves me for who I am, what I know and what I do. To do what I love, what I know, and what makes me who I am.
I might not make a living out of writing.
But writing will make a living out of me.
Because writing is my life.

The Enigma of Educating our TCKs
6 comments:
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Richelle. I feel we can learn a lot from your experiences!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm still learning a TON from my experiences!!! :-)Delete
Thank you so much for sharing. I really liked the point that in a fallen world, there will never be a perfect choice.ReplyDelete
Our children are currently attending a national school for the first time. It has been a challenge and a blessing at the same time. Your article was helpful as I try to wrap my mind around everything that we are experiencing.Replies
National schools are certainly both a challenge and a blessing! Funny side note - I'm finding it more difficult to figure out a "national" school in Quebec, Canada... than I did to figure out the "national" school in Niamey, Niger.Delete
I do think it is really important to find some sort of balance. Historically, one can make the argument that many MKs were neglected/sacrificed on that altar of ministry; but it is also easy, especially with the mindset of today, to swing to the other side - where family trumps God and what is best for our kids (or our fears of what others might think if we don't operate out of that mindset) looms larger than discerning God's will. And we can't claim begin to biblically claim that it is His will that our children never suffer or struggle or experience pain... or that parents never have to support and disciple our children through those moments.
Thanks for commenting!
Thank you for this article! It resonates with me right now, as we just changed our method of education this year because of some circumstances that we were facing. We were somewhat backed into a wall, but still had room to make the decision ourselves, which actually made it that much more difficult. We are happy to have our children in an international school for the first time after several years of homeschooling, but it is difficult sometimes to trust that it really is the right thing.ReplyDelete
"More important than making perfect educational decisions for each child each school year is a lifestyle lived, walking humbly with our God through those decisions (and others). It is climbing educational mountaintops together and holding close through the academic valleys, all the while ultimately recognizing His Sovereignty and His amazing grace in all circumstances."
I really love these words from you, and I only pray that I will continue to remember that God is sovereign and loves my children even more than I do. Thank you for sharing your heart with other missionary moms!Replies
Kandy, I'm so glad these words resonated and encouraged. It is hard - wanting to do the very best we can for our kids while knowing we will fail and then not beating ourselves up for those times we do. Another thought - God doesn't expect us to be perfect parents... but He does ask us to be righteous ones. That is, for me, a key difference.Delete

A Hartlepool man has been banned from having contact with girls under 16 for five years after he sexually assaulted an under-age girl.
Ryan Foster, 23, groped her as she was sleeping, Teesside Crown Court was told.
He later intimidated her and she was unfairly called names by bullies.
Prosecutor Shaun Dodds said the victim pushed him away when he tried to give her a love bite.
Mr Dodds said: "He asked her if he could play with her bra strap and she said 'Leave me alone'.
"She said that she wanted nothing to do with him".
He pulled down his trousers and touched the girl before she was able to push him off and she started to scream.
Some time later, in the community, Foster shouted at her "Fat slag, I'm going to get away with this, you're the one that deserves to die."
The girl said in a Victim Impact statement read out in court: "I'm really upset that he should intimidate me.
"I knew the people at school would be taking about me.
"I was angry because of what he did to me. I feel that people are talking about me all the time.
"They called me a slut. I don't deserve this because I have done nothing wrong. I am angry at myself for letting him get to me.
"I sometimes see him in my local area and he shouts at me."
Foster, from Hartlepool, who had spent the equivalent of a 12-months jail sentence as a remand prisoner, was released with a suspended prison sentence.
Christine Egerton, defending, said that psychological, psychiatric and pre-sentence reports diagnosed that he had learning difficulties and that his intelligence was less than his years.
She said that he was not described as a high risk and he fully accepts what he has done.
The judge said that it was in the public interest that Foster should be given lengthy assistance in the community.
Judge Shaun Morris told him over a videolink from Durham Prison: "Now that you have seen what it is like to be behind bars it would be better to hold this over your head."
Foster, of Birch Walk, Hartlepool, pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual assault and one of witness intimidation.
He was given a two-year jail sentence suspended for two years, 35 days' rehabilitation activities, a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order banning contact with under-age girls, and he was ordered to register as a sex offender for 10 years.

Here are your census listings for Hoosier. I checked other indexes for the county but found no other mention of the name except in the cemetery book, (I have included the Hoosier names for you). In it we see that Harvey died in 1926 and Elizabeth in 1919. The state was issuing death certificates by 1917, so you're in luck. You should be able to apply for death certificates from the state of Illinois for both of them, and that will give you (hopefully) their parents' names. FIRST, you will need to order a county death certificate ($5) from the Brown County Clerk in order to get the full date of death for submission to the state.
I strongly suggest you get death certificates for your mother's parents as the first step in this search. Your grandfather Hoosier's death certificate will give his parents' full names.
I must admit that I find it odd that the family doesn't appear in the 1880 census, and their are no marriages in Brown County for the Hoosier surname, and yet they are buried in Versailles. I can see why you are puzzled by them.
Best of luck,

Mr. Robot Eps3.8_stage3.torrent Trailer
USA Network's Mr. Robot: Season 3, Episode 9: Eps3.8_stage3.torrent TV Show Trailer stars Rami Malek. The trailer for next week's episode sees Elliot try to set up a meeting with Whiterose and Tyrell go free.
Mr. Robot: Season 3's plot synopsis from USA Network:
Golden Globe® award-winning series Mr. Robot returns to USA Network for a third season this October. The series follows Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek), a cyber-security engineer who became involved in the underground hacker group fsociety after being recruited by their mysterious leader (Christian Slater), who he later discovered to be the projection of his dead father. Following the events of fsociety's five/nine hack on the multi-national company Evil Corp, Season 2 explored the consequences of the attack as well as the illusion of control.
The episode will feature, via IMDB, Rami Malek, Christian Slater, Bobby Cannavale, Carly Chaikin, Scott Eliasoph, Carolina Ravassa, Stephanie Corneliussen, Michael Cristofer, Portia Doubleday, Elisha Henig, Grace Gummer, Martin Wallstrom, Ed Squires, James Wilcox, and Justin Michael Woods.
At long last, we've finally got a trailer that tells us something about the episode rather than simply trying to make us feel on edge, although it manages to do that as well. Not only do we learn that Tyrell is beating the rap, but Elliot is trying to seek an audience with Whiterose, which should definitely be interesting to see in the wake of the 71 cyber attacks.

It inspiring to see acts of bravery. It's even more inspiring to see politically IN-correct comments surrounding acts of bravery. Case in point, the recent incident in France when US servicemen prevented mass bloodshed by subduing an Islamist Fundamentalist before he could reek havoc onboard the train.
The father of one of the US servicemen involved was being interviewed by liberal mouthpiece MSNBC when he snuck in a very UN-PC comment at the end of the interview. According to The Gateway Pundit:
Today Emanuel Skarlatos, father of US train hero Alek Skarlatos, went on MSNBC to talk about his son after the events in France on Friday.
Alek, and his childhood friends, Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler, beat an Islamic terrorist unconscious and then hogtied him on a train to Paris.
Today Emanual Skalatos called out the PC crowd:
"Could I say one last thing? It's better to die like a lion than to be slaughtered like a sheep. And, this terrorist coward deserved what he got. And the PC crowd needs to recognize terrorism for what it is. I thank you very much for having me on."
You can watch here:
What do you think? Does this father accurately capture the mindset of a warrior? Leave a comment with your thoughts below.


text: sirgalahadwizar Posted February 5, 2001 My TC, dubiously named "DeathTC" is going to be released soon (within two months). I am about ready to get a site up and running for it, scrapping the old site I have at geocities and rebuilding it (im not about to ask for hosting from any doom site). It is in essence a weapons mod kinda like Immoral Conduct was, But I am doing more than just weapons modifications, there will be new enemies and items as well. There will be NO new maps. If anyone wants to help me with my mod to get the last workings done and out of the way, I would add you to the credits. E-mail me for details how to help. I am in eager anticipation for the release of edge v1.25, I hope it is for the doom source port community what doom3 will be for the quake commmunity. It's just that they said v1.25 was going to be out near christmas, then they keep pushing it back. The problem with this kinda stuff is that you keep getting new ideas when modifying something and you don't knwo where to stop, I have experience with it too. It's hard to do, but sometimes you have to reach a stopping point and rest awhile. My mod wont be out until at least edge v1.25 is out. 0 Share this post Link to post

You already know that eating less and exercising more will aid in fat loss, but by adding a couple of tricks to your routine, you can make quick weight loss a reality.
Up the Intensity
Higher intensity exercise can be just what you need for fast weight loss. Sprinters, cyclists and runners all use high intensity workouts to get fit. Try adding some HIIT (high intensity interval training) to your workout. Quick weight loss results from confusing your body and adding short bursts of hard exercise to your normal workout. It doesn't take much. If you're walking, you can add a few random sprints into the walk to up the intensity. Or, if you're taking a jog, run at your maximum speed for 20 to 30 seconds every few minutes. You'll get in better shape faster, and you'll notice greater fat loss from this program as well.
Control Freak
Portion control is part of any fast weight loss program. Do you eat more chips if you eat them straight out of the bag, or if you put a serving on a plate? Usually, when we don't portion out our foods, we can get trapped in mindless eating. This is especially true if you tend to watch television, or engage in other activities while you eat. If fast weight loss is your goal, then be sure to portion out your food ahead of meal time, and stick to eating only what's on your plate.
Get Your Zs
Believe it or not, sleep is actually a critical component of fast weight loss. When you rest, you allow your body to heal, repair, process foods, and burn off body fat. Getting plenty of sleep also helps to reduce inflammation in your body. By reducing inflammation, you reduce health risks associated with stroke and diabetes.
Sleep is also the time when your mind gets to recharge. It's easier to deal with stress, a diet program, work, relationships, and daily events when you're fully rested. Less stress also means less cortisol, the stress hormone, will be released. Cortisol is one of the culprits that contribute to excess body fat. If you want fast weight loss, you'll also want to keep your levels of cortisol low.

Saying goodbye is usually difficult, but not when you're going to somewhere as charming as our next destination. From its terraced walls to its sloping streets, to houses older than America, walking into Luxembourg is like stepping into a 19th-century Dumas novel. Old-world European charm was never more readily apparent than here. [In case it wasn't obvious, Luke wrote this intro!]
An uneventful 3-hour train ride from Brussels found us in Luxembourg City, the clean and safe capital of Luxembourg. Seriously, I would have no problem walking around this town alone at night. I can't say that about almost anywhere else!
Luke and I briefly relaxed at the hotel before taking a bus into the city center. Priority #1 was getting my late-afternoon coffee fix (we all have addictions; this is mine). :P
Wherever you are in Europe, you'll be able to find a doner kebab restaurant. It's cheap, fast, and tasty. No wonder it's popular! After splitting a kebab plate for dinner, we walked along the edge of the city wall, overlooking the Alzette River and centuries-old buildings.
|Roman aqueduct.
|Yep, this was built in 1738!
|The Bock fortifications.
|St. John's church
It's no surprise that this French-speaking city has a neo-Gothic cathedral named Notre-Dame, but that actually wasn't it's original name (or design). Before the 1850s, it was a baroque church called Saint Nicolas et Sainte Thérèse.
|Notre-Dame Cathedral, Luxembourg.
|Are you sick of historic European churches yet? Yeah, so were we.
|Gëlle Fra monument -- In memory of Luxembourgers who died in World War I.
I really wanted to check out a cafe called Chocolate House, and it turned out to be a great decision! We went on a Sunday night and it was cozy (read: crowded). Here's how it works: There are blocks of chocolate that are molded to wooden spoons; dozens of choices. You pick your flavor of chocolate and stir the choco-spoon into a mug of hot milk to melt it into a delicious cup of cocoa. It lived up to the hype!
The next day started roughly. At 8 a.m., housekeepers were vacuuming in the hallway and the thin hotel walls gave us front-row audio to other guests noisily packing their bags. We gave up on sleep and packed our suitcases, too. (There's not a ton to see and do in Luxembourg, so we only allotted 1.5 days there.)
For me, the best part of the city was spotting the painted elephants all over the place! These were created by artists for Elephant Parade to increase awareness about elephant conservation. I believe these pieces could be auctioned off to raise profits for the cause.
|I even got to ride one!
Over the weeks, we accumulated some souvenirs to take home. That wasn't a problem when we were traveling via bus or train, but airports don't look kindly upon overstuffed hiking backpacks... and plus, they were getting heavy. Our easy (but slightly expensive) solution was to head to the post office and mail a box back to the U.S.
|Grand Ducal Palace -- Where the Grand Duke of Luxembourg resides.
|Palace entrance topped by the Luxembourg coat of arms.
Our last lunch in Luxembourg [alliteration, anyone?] was at the ubiquitous and reliable Subway, where I ate some pickle chips that did NOT taste like pickles. Gross!
The weather called for a leisurely stroll down the shaded, wooded paths and into the valley. So that's exactly what we did!
|Ivy. Ivy everywhere!
|I shall call these Luxembourg Bluebonnets.
It was time to take a bus back to the hotel and collect our bags. The shuttle ride to the airport was literally 2 minutes, so it couldn't have been more convenient!
We boarded a small propeller plane with 14 other passengers. These things are super loud and seem like death traps, but I obviously lived to tell the tale.
All in all, Luxembourg is quaint and peaceful, but it's not hopping with action. Still, it's worth a visit if you're in the area.
Next stop: London!

This fist is racist.
MLS Rumors² just received the following email from a bartender at a Columbus area TGI Friday's:
The Crew are just putting the finishing touches on a deal with the Fire to swap 1,000 cases of bratwurst for Monterrey Security. It's just such a natural fit - who better to handle a horde of racist fans than a horde of racist security guards? And come on, brats and Chicago? Perfect together! The Fire tried to Jew the Crew up to 1,500 cases and a half-ton of Velveeta, but the Hunts stood strong. Wait, is it okay to say "Jew the Crew"? I mean, that's the phrase my source used, but now that I think about it, that sounds kinda, well, racist...huh...oh well. Heil Crew!
This fist is anti-racist. Look how different they are!
Monterrey Security: Coming soon to a Nordecke near you?

September each year brings us beautiful weather and it's always one of the busiest months of the year. School and communities for sure, but also many other aspects of our lives get moving forward again—moving to full steam. These opportunities take our time and our energy. As the people of God, we are called to share our talents and our energies to make a positive impact in our community.
At Trinity, September means that our various mission opportunities get moving forward full steam. Sunday School begins September 9th as does catechism classes for 7th and 8th grade students begin on Wednesday, September 19th.
Speaking of the weekend of September 8th and 9th we keep in our hearts and minds the work of "God Work, Our Hands"; a weekend where for the last few years, many E.L.C.A. congregations across the country have chosen to work together to make an impact in community. Even though Trinity has not planned to participate in any formal way this year, all of us know family and friends across the country that will be sharing their time and talents to make a positive impact (with other like-minded folks) in their communities. Let's keep these efforts in our thoughts and prayers the weekend of September 8-9.
As Trinity's Pre-School; Day-long Travel Trips; Sunday School and Learning and three weekend Worship services get moving forward full steam---it's an opportunity to Gather Together as the People of God as the Spirit leads Trinity forward into the future.
In Christ,
Pastor Thomas D. Prochaska

The morning after May Day picnic at Kaivopuisto, I'm not feeling too glorious. :P Yesterday was so much fun, these are the moments I will definetely miss while I'm far away from my friends.
When I came home (after two bottles of cava) I got dissapointing news from my boyfriend. I have to wait him for two more hours (total of four hours) in Munich airport tomorrow. I'm sick of waiting, even they say good things are worth waiting for, hyvää kannattaa odottaa. Luckily his mother will come keep me company. Nice thought, but I'm not sure who's the lucky one here. You know the deal with future-might-become-your-mother-in-laws, don't you? She is lovely tho..
I'm all excited about the weekend, but there's one huge minus in it. The weekend full of ice-hockey championships (ihanaa Leijonat ihanaa!), wedding, tennis, boyfriend's family and friends does not leave much time for us two.
Fortunately we well have all the time in the world after only six more weeks. Today I had a chat with my landlord, I am officially moving out first of June. No taking back anymore, my new home is in Wroclaw. :) Before that there's lot to do, some work, some more work, giving up all the belongings that are not necessary or that I cannot have with me, moving the rest of the stuff to my parents place, birthday, Mother's day, graduation party, fitting all the stuff that is absolutely necessery in just two suitcases...phuuuh. And some 'paper work'. It would also be good to spend some time with those most lovely friends of mine who I will not be seeing so often after June.

U.S. Bond Yields Fall After Bank of England Rate Cut
Treasuries Become Attractive Amid Slowing Growth
New York, NY — U.S. Treasury yields fell on Thursday, with some short- and medium-term issues hitting their lowest levels in more than three weeks, after the Bank of England cut interest rates for the first time since 2009 and said it would buy government bonds.
The Bank of England (BoE) cut rates 25 basis points to 0.25% and said it would buy 60 billion pounds of government debt to counter the impact of economic fallout from Britain's June 23 vote to leave the European Union.
The move pushed yields on 10-year U.K. government bonds, or Gilts, to a record low of 0.646%, which further increased the attractiveness of U.S. yields by comparison. Yields on Treasuries maturing between two, three, and five years hit their lowest levels in more than three weeks of 0.647%, 0.745% and 1.017%, respectively. Yields move inversely to prices. (Source: "U.S. yields tumble on Bank of England stimulus measures," Reuters, August 4, 2016.)
Benchmark 10-year U.S. yields hit their lowest level in three days at 1.484%, while 30-year Treasuries prices rose more than a full point, their yields also hitting a three-day low of 2.233%.
"In a world long-bereft of yield in long-duration safe-haven government bonds globally, (the BoE move) makes those Treasuries a little bit more attractive," said John Briggs, U.S. rates strategist at RBS in Stamford, Connecticut. (Source: Ibid.)
The Bank of England cut its benchmark interest rate to a new low on Thursday and said it would buy government and corporate bonds as part of easing efforts to counter the economic impact of Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
"We took these steps because the economic outlook has changed markedly," Bank of England Governor Mark Carney told reporters in London on Thursday. "Indicators have all fallen sharply, in most cases to levels last seen in the financial crisis, and in some cases to all-time lows." (Source: "Carney Ready to Cut Rate Again After BOE Eases on Brexit Fallout," Bloomberg News, August 4, 2016.)
Policy makers slashed growth forecasts by the most ever and Carney declared that all elements of the stimulus can be taken further, including another rate cut. The Monetary Policy Committee's measures include a plan to buy 60 billion pounds of government bonds over six months, as much as 10 billion pounds of corporate bonds in the next 18 months and a potential 100 billion-pound loan program for banks.
The BoE slashed its forecast for growth next year to just 0.8%, from 2.3% previously—its biggest ever downgrade between two sets of quarterly forecasts.
Officials also said they expect to cut their benchmark rate closer to zero later this year.

Mentoring Mondays: 27Apr15
Yes, this is a longer post.
The outcome, years in the making, is remarkable.
Read when you have an extra 2 minutes in your busy life.
What would be your own response to a beautiful 15yo girl, from a good home, who finds herself pregnant? What would be the care and nurture you would give her and her family concerning this unplanned, but very evident circumstance? What if this meaning-filled, hope-filled young woman were your very own daughter?
The year is 1978. The date was April 26. A healthy baby boy was born. That was 37 years ago, yesterday.
The call, from another state, was for real, asking for care, seeking assistance, valuing guidance, needing some rays of hope. Her pastor had heard me speak at a conference and reference the heartwarming adoption of our own daughter two years earlier. He asked for help navigating this momentous moment.
Long, and special story, wAy short, adoption of the baby was the chosen path by the family. The ensuing grief of adopting was going to be even more real. It was not an easy moment in time for all concerned…the family…or the care-givers of this girl and her family…as this family of four moved to Denver for several months from several hundred miles away.
(…purposeful time warp here…) People will often ask me, "Isn't mentoring just another form of counseling?" To which I respond, "That's sometimes a part of mentoring."
Or others will ask, ""Mentoring, that's just life coaching, isn't it?" My care-filled answer goes something like, "Well, that's a valued part of mentoring, but only a part."
Recently someone suggested that mentoring is simply another form of teaching. They are partially correct.
Some, from the Christian faith, may determine that mentoring is simply discipleship, but that's not all that mentoring is. It is always much, much, much more.
good mentoring,
the best of mentoring is not one dimensional.
Not just one problem to solve.
Nor one issue to consider.
It simply cannot be, no matter whether the mentoring is for only a few hours or a few years, mentoring is always about the whole person, not just what is evident, no matter the topic or idea up for exploration and discovery. The best of mentors know that and actively care for others with an informed whole person mindset.
On our Leadership Design Group website you can read about whole person mentoring. The ebook, that you can download, begins to help you know about what we refer to as whole person mentoring.
37+ years ago, we went into high gear. Helping to form a careful team of care-giving people around the family mentioned above, everyone was concerned about the needs of the girl, her younger brother, her mother, her father…and especially the healthy baby boy who was about to make his appearance in our world.
Now, to you alert souls, of course we do not mentor a new born. But the birth mom, her parents and her brother were, in varying ways, each of these whole people were taken care of, mentored, counseled, prayed for, taught, nurtured, encouraged, loved in the midst of these circumstances. It was a deep and sacred honor to walk with them into this new future in which they found themselves.
Fast forward just over two years ago from right now, the birth mom and the son, now a strapping young adult, found each other. Reunions began. Stories shared. Families expanded. Even more wholeness was added to these precious lives. Tears, this time of deep joy, were shed and shared. The time warps of lives now had a narrative, a story, of amazing grace and love…even after all these years.
Last week I was in Boston at the annual Q Conference (fourth time…) that always stretches my own soul in ways it needs to be stretched. This past Saturday I even got to meet that "little boy child," who has now grown into one fine man, caring husband and father to four delight-filled, significant kids…two daughters, two sons.
A hope, a dream, came true.
37 years ago I prayed a prayer over that newborn baby boy, for his protection and care by whomever adopted him. Only our God knew his future, and even the future of this family who were making these exceptional choices. I briefly held him, less than one day old, as I prayed that prayer.
This past Saturday, I finally got to meet him as he, his beautiful wife and four sincerely remarkable kids drove down to Boston from Maine. The anticipation of giving him a hug, 37 years in the waiting, the praying, the wondering, was palpable.
The several hours together last Saturday, the Italian lunch, the gelato, the talk, the laughter, one more concluding prayer of blessing over this whole family, and over his birth mom and her family (…now with one good husband and three fine young adult sons…whom we've yet to meet, but hope to soon…), well last week, my own soul was stretched and stunned and encouraged by all that took place…from the Q Conference, to being there with other leaders I mentor, to experiencing the sincerely amazing outcome of hard decisions that took place almost four decades ago.
The best of mentoring often will yield timeless dividends in relationships made whole, no matter the circumstances. Wondering what has taken place has given way to knowing that, for these good people, prayers have been more than answered. Healing for all continues in even deeper ways.
The honor of whole person mentoring will, in time, yield relational fruit for future generations. It's humbling to have been a part of this unfolding story.
With Boston in the background we are near Quincy Market
The lively, engaged, really fun family.
If the carousel is operative, of course it needs to be enjoyed!
Here he and I are saying goodbye at the Logan Airport in Boston late Saturday afternoon. The picture his wife took was a welcome surprise.
I look forward to seeing him and his family again, soon…and his birth mom's family hopefully this summer. From infant to stellar, vibrant man. Indeed, amazing and strong grace.
Happy 37th birthday yesterday!!!
And the story continues…….

Promised 9 metro corridors 11 years ago, Mumbai has one to show
In the last two decades, Delhi has built a network of metro lines spanning 193 kilometres. Mumbai has managed to develop one metro corridor, of 11.4 kms.mumbai Updated: Jun 08, 2015 16:38 IST
In the last two decades, Delhi has built a network of metro lines spanning 193 kilometres. Mumbai has managed to develop one metro corridor, of 11.4 kms.
As Mumbai's first metro service completes one year, questions are being raised over the failure of state authorities to plan and execute big-ticket infrastructure projects.
According to the 2004 metro master plan, nine metro lines, spanning 160km, were to be operational in Mumbai by 2014-15. However, negotiating hurdles ranging from availability of land to its acquisition, lack of funds to various permissions, the nodal agency for the metro projects – the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) – has so far managed to make only the Versova- Andheri- Ghatkopar (VAG) corridor (Metro 1) operational.
The second, the Charkop- Bandra- Mankhurd line (Metro 2), was supposed to be ready by 2012. However, it had to be scrapped owing to differences between the MMRDA and the operator over issues such as the unavailability of land and green hurdles. In search of a plot for the metro depot, the MMRDA has extended the line till Dahisar.
Residents had opposed both Metro 1 and Metro 2, saying the elevated corridors would pass too near their buildings. The Airport Authority of India objected to the Metro 2, saying the corridor could interfere with flight movement.
The corridors' alignment has also been problematic. After the first corridor, a consensus was arrived at to take the Metro 2, Metro 3 (Colaba- Bandra- Seepz) and Metro 4 (Wadala- Ghatkopar-Thane- Kasarvadavali) underground, to overcome the issue of land crunch. However, it has led to a multi-fold hike in the projects' cost, making their funding a problem.
"All the metro projects have been delayed, which has led to significant increase in their cost," said Jagdeep Desai, transport expert.
A state official involved with the project said the public-private-partnership (PPP) mode selected by the government complicates matters. "In Delhi, one man, E Shreedharan, was in control and ran operations with an iron hand. The project was financed by the state and one did not have to rely on a private partner. PPP agreements are very tricky," he said.
MMRDA spokesperson Dilip Kawathkar said the projects would be completed as soon as possible. "Because of some amendments and extensions in the master plan, the implementation has been delayed. However, we are working on completing the plan."

The Alumni Association was set up in October 1993 with the initiation of our former principal Mother Pauline Wong and the enthusiastic support of some founder members. Since its establishment, the Alumni Association has been working persistently towards its aim: acting as a link between students and their alma mater, as well as promoting fellowship among past students.
To further support our Mother School in the promotion of quality education and to follow the motto "All Things To All People", St. Paul's (Lam Tin) Charitable Trust was set up in September 1999.
The success of the Alumni Association depends very much on the support and participation of its members. It is hoped that the information provided in this website will facilitate a better understanding about the work of the Alumni Association, thus making it more dynamic and prosperous.
