Yesterday afternoon, the Parish Council made plans for the starting of the 2nd stage of rehabilitation of the Church, paving of the floor. (The first stage was replacing the roof destroyed by the hurricane.) We have taken stock of our resources: from Laborde community, $1000 and from St. John Paul II Parish $8000. A total of $9000. The engineer's estimate is $16674. So we are looking for $7674.00 to polish off the floor. Once more, we solicit your help to achieve this stage.
We want to start in November, in order to make the Church ready for "Our Lady of Lourdes Day" Feb.11, 2019.
God bless you and everyone of St John Paul II !
Fr. Joseph
Haiti Family Reunion: Our mission group is back with many stories and adventures to share in a slide show presentation on June 2 & 3, after all Masses in Collison Hall. Going back a fourth time over 15 years to our sister parish is truly a family reunion: seeing friends again, children grown up, celebrating successes we were a part of and assuring them we care about their challenges. They constantly give thanks for our help. Please join us!!!
Sister Parish Family Reunion
It's so good when family members divided by distance get together for a reunion. Fifteen years ago everyone in our sister parish were strangers to us. We continue to get know each other. I have gone there four times, the last two with a group, and I have been the host of 4 pastors from Laborde when they visited here. Preparing for my first trip to Haiti was exciting because of my fear of the unknown. This last trip was full of energy of a group excited, full of ideas and plans. Leo Kasparbauer dreamed for years of visiting our sister parish. His daughter Gena Daly has done mission trips to Central America for chiropractic clinics. Her husband Jamie had always wanted to see what that was like and being a TSA agent helped our travels. Joleen Kasparbauer didn't want to miss the family adventure. We arrived without incident at Port au Prince. The only thing I dread about arrival is the very aggressive porters that don't take no for an answer, but soon they were left behind grumbling about their tip and we were dodging deep holes, people and colorful trucks called tap taps that act as buses. We stayed in town for the night at the Caritas compound to avoid rush hour traffic jams. Fr. Herve resides there as head of this national organization that provides the church's charity to farmers, small business, care for the aging and sick and many other services. Fr. Herve was pastor of Laborde for two of my previous visits. He took us out for live music on a beautiful tropical evening. We were joined by Tamara who had traveled 4 hours to say hi and thank you for supporting her studies for 9 years. She will become a doctor this December. Then she will serve her country for a year before joining a practice, hopefully close to her parish.
The present pastor of our sister parish, Fr. Joseph, had a great visit planned for us. The next day two vehicles took our group, our baggage, Fr. Joseph, drivers and an interpreter by the coast, over mountains, past vistas of beaches and palm trees, but also past waterways clogged with garbage, piles of garbage burning on curbs, shanty towns, and hordes of people walking the roadside, some trying to sell snacks at speed bumps. It is always a relief to arrive at the parish grounds in the village of Laborde surrounded by quiet countryside (not counting the 24 hour a day roosters crowing). We were shown our basic but clean and safe dorm rooms built recently by the French priest that works with the parish. Poverty here isn't what new comers expect. There's no naked bloated skeletons with skin, but people do die from curable diseases and famine – two years ago 3 harvests in a row failed. Malnutrition is very common. School uniforms can hide how skinny some children are and poor brain development isn't obvious to those that don't speak the language. The poor hide their poverty, wearing nice second hand clothes while living in a mud hut with one meal of beans and rice a day, if they are lucky. And the poorest often don't go to school and the ill and weak avoid public places. There are many things that we take for granted, because they're always handy, that they don't have: clean water, dependable electricity, garbage service, safety nets like insurance and government social services and aid to old and unemployed, and much more. I often think that they live like Jesus did in poor Nazareth and his words "Whatever you do for the least of these…" takes on new meaning. They certainly have many more reasons to rely on God's providence than we do.
It was good to see familiar faces at the parish. Children grown up and adults I share stories with. Tamara's mom is very involved with the parish council and dispensary. I remember meeting her when I offered her daughter medical school. She was kind but leery of such a gift then. Now she had a great smile every time I saw her. I got to know Fr. Joseph better than when he visited Carroll. He is a very humble and dedicated priest that's held in warm affection by his parish. I could understand him better because of the translating done by his nephew, Felix. He learned English to work on a cruise ship and he treated us like first class guests: always available and kind, offering a hand and keeping us smiling with his silly antics. We met the three nuns that came last year. They now run the school and have improved the rigor of education there and add a dignity and regimentation that some of us remember of nuns when they ran the schools here. Fr. Joseph arranged a meeting with Cardinal Chibly Langlois, the first cardinal of Haiti. He spent time talking to us about our trip. I told him we were there because of our parish patron's motto: "The poor are the church's treasure."
We brought close to 400 pounds of supplies for the people of Laborde: pillow case dresses sewn by Catholic Daughters, medical supplies, toothbrushes, tools, stickers, 3 soccer balls… Joleen and Gena got to know some of the girls well as they worked them making bracelets with buttons. Leo, Jamie, a handyman and I used the tools we brought to make and install stall doors in the new bathrooms for the church. We didn't quite finish the job because the electricity was seldom on, which also meant several sweltering nights sleeping with no fan. Gena held clinics one day at the parish dispensary and another at the Fatima chapel for over a hundred people each day. It was great to be in the nearly completed chapel. Work on it stopped after Hurricane Matthew in the fall of 2016 because the bishop wanted all funds going to repairs (140 church buildings have had roofs replaced so far). We will start sending donations again to finish the Fatima chapel's windows and furnishings. Back at the parish the kindergarten rooms and the main church roofs remain in shambles. They are eager to have Mass in their church again. It is a big project and I explained that we cannot raise the needed funds now because the Carroll parishes are reorganizing. They will do what they can with some of the regular collections St. Lawrence sends them with also some help from their diocese and Caritas.
This is the first time I went to Haiti in Lent. It wasn't any different there but being in solidarity with the poor was part of our fasting and almsgiving. We had plenty to eat, more meat than most there get in a year, but when I got back I didn't feel like eating beans and rice for a long time. Plans changed often and it took patience when it came to trying to get enough transportation for our group, the uncertainties of life there, and translation misunderstandings. Small annoyances compared to what these people deal with daily with no escape for them to our dependable luxuries here. My prayer takes on a deeper meaning when I am so far from the comfort and security back at home. The richness of Jesus' presence in the Eucharist overwhelmed me at daily Mass with an intimate gathering of the faithful in a rectory room. In that same room I had met with some of the families we are helping to educate their children. Two of them had fathers that had died. We are helping each put a daughter, Beelounge and Christi, through nursing school. Stanley, the oldest of 9 children said, "Thank you for making it possible for me to get an education, you have made me feel human." I was touched. Our primary goal there is to help them help themselves and in his simple but heartfelt thanks he revealed how precious human dignity is. Everywhere we received constant thanks for our help and were treated like royalty. After a farewell feast at a gathering of many families there was a presentation of tokens of appreciation, a skit of youth dressing up as their dream job (Stanley dressed as a priest) and much song and dance. We thanked them for their hospitality and prayers. We felt Felix deserved something for all his help. His dream is to take business classes to get a decent job, but he needed a laptop. In appreciation for all his help, money from the Kasparbauers and from those that had donated to the trip made that possible.
One family resemblance that both our sister parish and St. Lawrence have is a love of music. When I'm at Sunday Mass there I always imagine the day when our whole family, everyone from both parishes, will meet face to face in heaven. A great family reunion where they can personally thank you for your help and we all join together singing God's praises.
God's peace, Deacon Tim
Visit Haiti
Meet family for the first time. Our lives are fuller when we personally encounter family we have heard about but never met face to face. We have a great relationship with our sister parish in Haiti through emails, pictures, prayers and support. What got this relationship really going and continuing to grow is visits here by 4 of their pastors and 3 visits there by me. A small group went with me last time in 2012. It is time for another visit. I invite you to join me. Let me know if you are interested and I can answer any question you have. I am planning to go for about a week in late February or early March, it'll depend on what works best for those going (and if necessary later in March or even in January are possible). By the end of November we will set a date and get tickets (passports, too, if you don't have one). The weather is great there in our winter but it is not a high-class resort. Their rooms and food at the parish are simple, but adequate. News from there can be scary, but being in the pastor's care has always made me feel safe. Your eyes will be opened to the poverty that is just a few hundred miles off our coast. You will be forever grateful for even the smallest gifts God has given you here. You will be inspired by the blessing they have even without most of the material things we have. And you will be family.
We can always use prayers for a blessed adventure and funds to offset the expenses for travel are appreciated, they can be labeled "Haiti trip". In the past the purpose of visits was to get to know members of our sister parish personally and do some minor service such as bringing some supplies and visiting parishioners and students. I am considering some simple projects we could do this time like building benches or bunk beds, helping the injured in the dispensary, I'm open to ideas.
God's peace on earth,
Deacon Tim
Haiti News from Fr. Joseph: Lord had mercy on us. The new chapel is still standing without a scratch. Closer to the coast the 140 mph winds did a lot of damage.
Haiti News from Fr. Joseph: In Laborde, the hurricane has broken all things: Churches, our elementary schools, private houses, gardens, Many people have come to live in the secondary school and in the rectory I can't visit the chapels yet, but the directors have told me that all are completely destroyed. I'll send some photos of the Church, school, the rectory and the Church yard. Thank you very much for the money sending. (Note: The death toll so far is 1000; starvation and cholera will claim more.)
Pray for Haiti Our sister parish near Les Cayes was hit by the worst of Hurricane Matthew. Homes, crops and livestock were certainly lost. A bridge was washed away making aid to the area difficult. It may be awhile before Fr. Joseph can give us specific news.
Haiti Chapel It has been a year since we started helping Our Lady of Fatima's people build a dignified place to give glory to God. So far we have raised just over half the money needed to complete it. Thank you for your prayers and donations to this project. Checks for donations can be made out to St. Lawrence with Haiti Chapel in memo.
In November on Christ the King 20 children made their first Communion and the last Sunday 107 young and adults were confirmed. It was a wonderful celebration. Christmas is already at our door, I wish it to you and the people of St. Lawrence a joyful and happy one! May the child Jesus bring to everybody everything good.
Fr Joseph
Until this September it wasn't raining in Laborde. This year the farmers harvest nothing. So the situation is very alarming.
May God bless you and everyone of St Lawrence Church!
Our Sister Parish in Haiti Most of our support sent to Haiti is used to educate the children of Laborde, to help them help themselves rise out of poverty. But our money and prayers are also sent for our ultimate goal as church - to save souls. A special way to help them in this mission will be announced soon.
HAITI NEWS: Dear Deacon Tim,
With so much pleasure, I come to answer to your last mail. Thank you very much.
The St Vincent de Paul funds (that I mentioned in my last letter) are to help people in special needs. In Laborde Parish we gather many of the poorest people in an association called "St Vincent de Paul". They are more than sixty. Most of them live in their family. And others (they are 7 now) live in a house of the Parish. For three years (2011, 2012, 2013), they were helped by Spain's Catholic Charity. However, these funds have been stopped and have not yet been renewed. We have to feed these people and maintain the house with our weak means. So, a part of the funds received from St Lawrence Parish helps us in this task. I hope this won't last much longer.
Our transportation problems are not resolved yet. We are still waiting for the arrival of the car ordered by Fr. Bernard. In the coming months we will get it. -Fr. Joseph
On behalf of my parishioners and on mine, I come to wish you and St Lawrence people MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015
Thank you for helping us to commemorate a nice Christmas. Last thursday we had celebrated with people of "St Vincent de Paul" and December 30 we will be back to continue the feast. This morning we have had a thanksgiving mass for the benefit of our supporters in St Lawrence Church. Tomorrow night we will have a great Christmas eve and Thursday, after the great Mass, we'll celebrate with the altars servers. Thank you so much!
May God bless you and everyone of St Lawrence church!
Deacon Tim,
Our drought has ended. It has been raining here for three weeks. The weather is now nice. We have a good greenness. Our farmers are sowing now. This week, I know, is a special week for American people. You are celebrating the THANKSGIVING DAY. I wish to you and the people of St. Lawrence: good, happy, and flourishing!
A thousand thanks to you and the St. Lawrence people for your important support. Blessing of God for everyone of you! May God bless you and America! Fr. Joseph
Correspondence with the new pastor of our sister parish in Haiti:
Dear Father Joseph, I am very happy to welcome you as pastor in Laborde, our sister parish (St. Lawrence in Carroll, Iowa). I'm sorry this is so slow getting to you. The address I had for you had a mistake. Fr. Max just emailed me with the correct one. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing news of your parish with mine. Three pastors from Laborde have visited St. Lawrence. These visits have greatly improved our relationship. I look forward to meeting you someday. I know you are busy with a new parish now, but if you have plans to travel to the USA it would be a good opportunity for us to fly you to Iowa. God bless your new assignment and preparations for the new school year. I am a teacher and know how busy this time of year is. We have money to send to Fonkoze. God's Peace, Deacon Tim
Dear Deacon Tim, I just come to hear from you. I looked forward it for many weeks. I have tried to email you but that was not possible because the address that I had was also wrong. A thousand thanks for giving me a sign. I promise to be the forth pastor who will visit St. Lawrence Parish, maybe next summer. I will come back to that for better planning. God bless you and St. Lawrence people! Fr. Joseph
Dear Deacon Tim, I'm very happy to greet you and St. Lawrence parishioners a second time. I thank you very much for your last email that made me feel happy and safe. After reading that and after two months of observation in Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, I felt it was necessary to make a little report on our parish school for the benefit of yourself and St Lawrence parishioners.
Kindergarten (children three to five years old). We have for this year an enrollment of more than 120 children with 8 teachers.
Elementary (children from six to twelve years): 345 pupils with 14 teachers.
High School (7th to 12th grade): 195 students with 32 teachers and a board of 7 Directors. I note that last year there were 160 students, because of the weakness of the parents resources, we had closed the year 2013-2014 with a deficit of $5,303.73 (US dollars). We need an urgent help to pay this debt before the ending of this month.
Our expectation for this year: Average fees by student: $ 179.83/year. We have 195 students whose 10% will be scholars or unable to pay. We expect an entry of: $31,650.08
Previewed expenses
All Teachers salaries: 812hours/month x $3.20/hour = US$ 2,598.40/month X 10 = US$ 25,984.00
Staff salary : $ 1,465.70/month X 10 = US$ 14,657.00
Keepers and Charwomen (4) including one of the kindergarten : $ 309.73/m X 10 = $3,097.30
Miscellaneous: $ 500.00/month X 10 = $ 5,000.00/year
Total preview expenses: $ 48,738.30
Only for the secondary school, I expect a new deficit of : US$ 17,088.22
So, the situation is very alarming for me when I have just come to take charge of this Parish. Moreover, I have others catechetic and social projects that I am looking for some funds to implement. Lastly, I count on your usual help to fill those deficits on our budget and start some pastoral activities. May God bless every one of you! Fr. Joseph Petuel Lainesca
Dear Fr. Joseph, I am glad to hear the transfer worked. I thank you for the very fine school report. My fellow parishioners appreciate knowing the details of how the money we send is used and their hearts will respond with generosity. I am happy to tell you that we will be sending you enough to take care of last school year's debt and some to help with your pastoral needs. We have much to send now because it's been 2 months since we sent a full collection and we had an annual activity for our feast day that raised $5000. Our farmers here are just starting what looks to be a great harvest. We pray that God will take care of the people of Laborde, especially to protect them from the chikungunya virus. God's peace, Deacon Tim

Парашютный спорт / Parachute jumping
I study at a foreign language faculty of Menzelinsk teacher training college and in summer we had a practice in our flying club "Menzelinsk". We knew a lot of interesting information about parachute jumping, drop-zones, famous parachute jumpers and about variety of parachute jumping. At first the instructor told the history of the flying club and showed the territory.
Parachute jumping associates with free falling and planning with the parachute. If a group of parachutists is in free falling the speed of the falling reaches 50-60 meters per second, or 180-200 kilometers per hour. Thanks to the speed jumper can movefreely in the air steering with his body (arms, legs, etc.). When you jump from 4000 meters height, you fly down only 60 seconds. In order to land safely the jumper needs to back that speed and land on a necessary place.
We knew a lot of kind of parachute jumping like classic parachute jumping, dome acrobatics, group acrobatics, free style, skyserfing, free fly. This kind of sport requires intensive training. I like this kind of sport and that is why I decided to study at our flying club as a packer of parachute systems. And I'll jump with my instructor next summer.
In 2010 the World Championship of parachute jumping will be held in Menzelinsk. Champions of all countries will arrive in our little town and take part in it. We'll try to make up a friendly, hospitable and pleasant atmosphere for them.

Promotional watches are fantastic promotional items. No stone has gone unturned when it comes to marketing your business. With millions of items to choose from, we have everything you need to advertise your business, including items that you didn't even know you could put your brand name on, just take a look at the promotional watches for an example.

Don't Forget The Kids For Promotional Watches
In some areas of the United States the rain can be a constant and steady occurrence. For example, did you know that in some parts of the Pacific Northwest it rains, on average, for just about 50% of the year? Sometimes even more! That's just one reason why promotional waterproof watches are a great item to invest in. Because waterproof promotional watches are designed to be used outside (though we're certain that promotional watches are great indoors!), you can be certain that you will come across a great many people that will notice your logo. Better yet, you will come across a great many people who haven't before seen your brand. And that is a good thing, because everybody is a potential client when it comes to business. You never know who will see your logo while in need of services you offer. And you never know when your company name will pop in to someone's mind at just the right time.
Promotional watches are small, and because of such they have a spacious nice area. That means that your logo will be front and center and is sure to never be missed..
The great thing about promotional products is that advertising experts agree that the more mundane items work the best at advertising a business. So save your money on the big, fancy billboards and reach your clients by using items like promotional watches. They work so well because consumers are much more likely to trust the word of mouth of a friend or acquaintance before blindly trusting a brand they don't know. Plus, just coming into contact with a brand one time starts that relationship of trust and familiarity.
Custom promotional watches are the way to go. You won't be disappointed and neither will your clients!

The high-voltage transformers are essential appliances of the electrical energy-system and greatly affects on the entire system operational safety.
The purpuse of the high-voltage transformer's diagnostic examination to implement a series of tests - preventing malfunctions or failures, or at least reduce their number - which would minimize the operational costs.
In the first part of my thesis I reviewed the main diagnostic methods.
Using the results of transformers diagnostic tests - received from ELMŰ ÉMÁSZ Network Ltd. – I demonstrated how we can get a comprehensive picture with the diagnostic methods about the appliance's (insulation, electrical and mechanical) conditon. In addition, I examined - through the diagnostic methods - the errors can be detected the insultation of transformers and other structural parts.
The test results demonstrated that the various diagnostic methods provide information about different part of the appliances, so in order to assess the general condition of the equipment worth to use several diagnostic methods.

Bonfire Night 5th November 2005
The weather was kind to us and it seemed to be a great success. Bigger, better fireworks and a bigger crowd than last year - must have been 3000 or more.
David Sturdy's disco 'wheels of steel' added a bit more atmosphere and the bar, food and side shows went down well.
A couple of random photo's here - send me some better ones if you have any....
the fireworks start - these pics don't do them justice!

Masculine Hx® helps to maintain healthy testosterone levels and proper function throughout the aging process. As men age, their bodies tend to convert testosterone into estrogen, decreasing available or free testosterone. Estrogen levels can be particularly higher in men with a large belly and blood sugar issues.
Chrysin is a flavonoid found in plants that supports testosterone-related functions in older men. It accomplished this by inhibiting its conversion to estrogen via the aromatase inhibition pathway. Chrysin is also an excellent extract for reducing stress, agitation and anxiousness. The second active ingredient in Masculine Hx® is an extract of the Black Pepper plant known as Bioperine piperine, which has been shown to greatly improve the absorption of Chrysin into the body and helps boost overall circulation, as well. It may also prevent the premature shunting of testosterone into estrogen. Flavonoids also function in conjunction with Vitamin C to support that integrity of blood vessel walls and to support Vitamin C's antioxidant activity. This extract may also help to reduce stress.*
For great discounts, a superb assortment of top-grade nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements like this men's heath supplement, and access to our professional nutritionists, look no further – great health starts right here at InVite® Health. To ask a question or to purchase your Masculine Hx®, call us today at (800) 632-0541 or click here to find a store near you!
As a dietary supplement for adult males, take one (1) Vcaps® capsule daily once or twice a day with meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Other Ingredients: Hypromellose (vegetable capsule, Vegetable Stearate.
Caution: If you are taking any medication, use only under physician supervision. Men with prostate cancer should not use this supplement. An elevation in free testosterone can unmask a hidden prostate cancer. Therefore we advise any man with this concern to have a baseline PSA test before starting this product and a follow up PSA test- discuss this with your physician. If a significant elevation of PSA occurs, discontinue this product and advise your physician.
Testosterone levels drop naturally as men age, which causes their bodies to convert testosterone into estrogen. Although this is a normal occurrence, these heightened estrogen levels in a man's body may lead to adverse side effects. Masculine Hx® can be extremely beneficial in maintaining a healthy level of testosterone and reducing the issues caused by increased estrogen levels. This InVite product includes two active ingredients that support testosterone functions in men:
Chrysin. This flavonoid is found naturally in certain plants, including passionflower, silver linden and some species of geranium. According to research, Chrysin is an herbal aromatase inhibitor, helping increase testosterone levels in men by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. Chrysin's effect on a man's testosterone levels may be very effective in reducing age-associated health problems for men, such as low libido, decreased energy and vitality, prostate conditions and hair loss.
Bioperine piperine. Piperine, also known by its trademarked name BioPiperine, is an extract of the Black Pepper plant. This component of the black pepper is what gives peppers their spicy taste. Piperine is known in medicine for its ability to greatly improve the absorption of nutrients. It is included in our Masculine Hx® formula to increase absorption of chrysin into the body, as well as to boost circulation.
Biopiperine piperine assists in proper absorption of the testosterone-boosting flavonoid Chrysin into the body, allowing for optimal health benefits.
Masculine Hx® helps to maintain healthy testosterone levels and proper function throughout the aging process.

HOLLISTER, California (July 2, 2014) — Several people with major injuries were airlifted by helicopter following a multi-vehicle rollover crash Wednesday morning on Highway 152 near Upper Cottonwood Creek Wildlife Area, according to a dispatch by the California Highway Patrol.
About 10:44 a.m., CHP officers reported a crash between the drivers of a 53-foot orange box truck with an empty trailer, a gray Honda, a silver 2011 4-door Chevrolet and two other vehicles.
One of the vehicles was reportedly smoking after the crash, but bystanders or fire personnel put it out with a fire extinguisher. The vehicle that rolled over landed on its wheels and the crash was blocking the westbound lanes of the freeway.
"When there are serious injuries resulting from an accident it's important to protect your legal rights and contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible," said Attorney James Johnson.

text: Explosions near the Formula 1 track in Bahrain have marked the travelling circus' quick march from China to the island Kingdom.AP news agency said "a series of explosions", including a gas cylinder that set a car ablaze but injured no one, set the tone in Bahrain on April 14, a week before Formula 1's most controversial annual race.Bahrain authorities, however, have pledged "adequate" security for the grand prix, which has been under a cloud since the 2011 edition had to be cancelled due to clashes between the government and protesters of the regime.'PROTESTS' GOOD FOR F1?Albeit expecting there to be some trouble this weekend, Force India deputy boss Bob Fernley said he is not worried: "You'd be a bit foolish to think there's not going to be some sort of protest and things like that."If formula one activates some protests and they want to get things off their chests, that's good as well."In 2012, following after a petrol bomb incident, Fernley ruled that Force India would sit out a late practice session so that team members could safely travel from the circuit back to the hotel before nightfall.Recalling the incident, Fernley said in Shanghai: "Once we'd got over that initial hiccup, we were fine."

The nada helps my mind. It doesn't have to keep figuring out over and over if my whole life is on a new level (of "attainment"). The nada started when it all started a few months ago, and has been continuous since then. It isn't as loud now. It's barely there, then becomes a little louder when I focus on it. It still changes sometimes. For awhile it was a "ghetto bird," then a cicada (which is funny because I don't like the noise of cicadas, a very loud insect).
A few days again, during my new puja, (I started performing arati daily, a little over a week ago), when I performed arati, on the last circle of the flame I focused in on my subtle mind, and a very bright "flame" flew out and down into my body (visual only, no warmth or sensation).
I love the look of spiritual concentration, or dhyana, on the brahmins' faces in these photos of evening arati at one of the ghats (stairs down to the Ganges River) in Varanasi, India. (I remember this feeling of relaxed, super-focused, very clear buddhi (mind) when I "waved the lights").
Evening arati is given at three different ghats

Two men conducting survey work in Noblesville critically injured in crash
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. – Two surveyors were critically injured in a crash in Noblesville Thursday morning.
Around 9:30 a.m., emergency crews responded to a report of a two-vehicle crash in the 14800 block of southbound SR 37.
Based on witness statements and evidence at the scene, it appears that a 2005 Chevy pickup truck was traveling southbound when it crashed into another vehicle. The other vehicle was identified as a 2012 Ford Escape registered to Certified Engineering, Inc. of Indianapolis.
The Ford was reportedly parked on the right shoulder in order for the occupants to conduct surveying work. Evidence at the scene suggests that the Chevy veered to the right side of the roadway causing it to strike the Ford and the two occupants who were standing outside the vehicle at the time of the collision.
The driver of the Chevy was identified as Timothy Osburn, 72, of Frankton. Osburn was transported by ground ambulance to St. Vincent with non-life-threatening injuries.
The surveyor standing on the driver's side was identified as Derek Knowling, 31, of Roachdale. Knowling was transported by air ambulance to I.U. Health Methodist in critical condition.
The second surveyor was standing on the passenger's side of the vehicle and has been identified as Brian Rees, 59, of Indianapolis. Rees was transported by air ambulance to St. Vincent in critical condition.
Traffic on SR 37 was either restricted and/or closed between 146th Street and Greenfield Ave. until approximately 1:00 p.m.
This is an ongoing investigation.

Sunday motivations: don't run from difficulty
Ahh sweet Sunday – it's a day for baking, smiling, relaxing and being happy. That's why we choose this brilliant day of chill to bring you our weekly motivational quotes. Today's is one of my favourites!
Pain, difficulty, hard work… these are all things that are massively tempting to avoid. Nobody wants to have to be in pain, nobody wants life to be unpleasant. However, the best way out of a difficult situation is to go through it.
I have a theory (and I'm pretty sure there's some theology or philosophy here to back me up ;) ) that if we avoid one of life's sticky lessons it comes back bigger and badder. Yes, badder.
When we go through pain, we grow. My dad passing away was one of the most awful, growthful times of my life. I learned more about myself in those few months than the rest of my life combined. If I'd avoided the pain, I'm sure I would have got stuck in it a lot longer and it would have reared its ugly head some other way. Be brave, face whatever you're going through head on and go through it. You'll be amazed at what happens when you come out the other side.

Ticket Glitch Postpones NL Lottery Draw as Duplicates Surface
Wednesday was going to be a big night for the Goulds neighborhood in St. John's, N.L. with a Chase the Ace draw scheduled to take place.
As players lined up at St. Kevin's Parish for an expected jackpot in excess of $1million, they were left heartbroken to find out the draw had to be postponed due to a ticket malfunction involving duplicates surfacing up.
Chase the Ace Ticket Glitch
The province's lottery regulator, Service NL, claimed an investigation had been launched 'to ensure the integrity of the draw' after evidence of 'additional duplicate tickets' was brought to the regulator's attention.
The draw organizers and printing company that produced the tickets are working hand in hand with the province's gaming authority to verify that all conditions of the lottery license have been met.
The minister responsible for the department that oversees lotteries in the province, Perry Timper, explained to the local press that Service NL learned about some 'duplicate tickets' in the hands of some ticket holders at 4:30 PM local time, adding that sales continued afterward.
"That caused us concern because it runs counter to the terms and conditions at which the lottery is to be run, there is to be no duplicate tickets," Trimper said.
Regularity Compromised
And just as the Service was getting ready to issue an official announcement, more duplicates surfaced, casting a fresh shadow on the regularity of the draw. Following the incident, organizers agreed that postponing the draw was the right thing to do.
Chase the Ace is a type of a 50-50 draw in which the players buy numbered tickets for around $5 each. The winners get a percentage of the total ticket sales and the bigger jackpot if they manage to pull the ace of spades from a deck of cards that gets smaller after each draw.
Service NL and the parish organizers did not expect the draw to generate that big of a hype though they explained Chase the Ace is a 'very important' event for the community and an 'amazingly successful' fundraiser.

Learning Politics With Schoolhouse Rock
You probably remember these cartoons that were shown during the 1970s and 1980s. I sure remember watching Schoolhouse Rock as a child, but I also remember my high school history teachers showing them to us. The cartoons provide an entertaining way to learn about all kinds of things, from history to grammar to politics.
A good way to teach your children the basics of current and historical politics of the United States is by watching the Schoolhouse rock with them, and then talking about the cartoons. In fact, I bet these fun little flicks will remind a lot of adults about a lot of basics they have forgotten.
No More Kings
This cartoon covers a bit of U.S. history, from the Pilgrims arriving to the Declaration of Independence. The cute song and animation glosses over a lot of stuff, but it provides the basic background of how America was colonized, and then why the colonies declared independence. The politics of taxation from the British King are touched upon. As well, George Washington is introduced as the first president because we don't want anymore kings: "No more kings!"
"Schoolhouse Rock!: No More Kings" (1975)
This cartoon covers the history of the 4th of July, explaining how the Declaration of Independence was singed on this date in 1776 by the Continental Congress. It is totally unrealistic, but still offers a cute version of history. We have the right of life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The cartoon touches on the clashes between the colonists and the British government, but mainly sings about fireworks and independence.
Schoolhouse Rock - Fireworks
Three-Ring Government
This episode of Schoolhouse Rock teaches about the three branches of the U.S. government by comparing it to a Three Ring Circus. It provides an easy way to learn about the branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary. It also talks about how all three are important and interdependent upon each other.
Schoolhouse Rock - Three-Ring Government
The Preamble
This cartoon teaches about the history of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, written by our Founding Fathers. The preamble is sung by a chorus, highlighting the "we the people" part. It really is a nice way to learn about the preamble and what it says.
Schoolhouse Rocks - The Preamble
How a Bill Becomes a Law
It's kind of all in the title: learn how a bill becomes a law in Washington, D.C. Enjoy listening to poor "Just a Bill" sing his song about his journey to becoming a law. Poor little "Just a Bill" is dragged from Congress to the White House to Congress…whew! Poor little "Just a Bill." Will he ever become a Law? You'll have to watch it to find out.

Stitch Combinations 4
Life remains busy, so have given up any hope of doing 100 Details in 100 Days - I got lost in work on Day 17.
But I have finally had time to pull out a needle again - not sure how long it will last, but here is a seam combination for today.
I worked it first on my Mirror Block, with dark green perle #8 and light green perle #12. It is Herringbone, with two Detached Chain extending every second set of arms on one side, and a Fly Stitch on each of the other set of arms on the other side.
In light green I then added three-wrap French Knots on one side, and a Fly Stitch and Detached Chain group, and French Knots on the other side.
I then varied it on the Wogga Block, where I had a little more in the way of colours to play with.
But I have to say - I would rather be out trying out Paisleys - check out what Jo has been doing.
The sun is out - I am going back to walking.

Write memo around 1-2 pages.
MMG's guitars a. differed in body styles, each of which came with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. The Limited Edition was a jumbo acoustic model, the Naked Lady and the Signature Dreadnought were dreadnought models and the Summer Wages Series were auditorium models. The jumbo style provided the deepest tones and the loudest volumes but vvere arguably more awkward to play and offered less balanced tones overall. The dreadnought style was smaller yet still offered good volume. Its tones were fairly balanced but not as much so as the auditorium style. The auditorium style, the smallest of the three styles, was the quietest but offered the best balance in terms of both high and low tones.
The Consumer
MMG's guitars were purchased primarily by experienced male guitar players between the ages of 45 and 60. The. customers had been playing guitar most of their lives, owned multiple guitars and could easily discern between a high-quality and low-quality instrument. Additionally, these customers were generally in their peak earning years and, as a result, were less price-sensitive. With an estimated Canadian market size of approximately 299,000 guitar players in this age range,. Marr believed MMG had hardly scratch. the surface of this segment.
Sales and Distribution
By selling directly to consumers, MMG cut retail outlets and wholesalers out of the supply charn This approach allowed the company to sell its guitars for a significantly lower price than equivalent guitars offered by its competitors. Although clearly price competitive, MMG struggled to gain exposure to new customers using this distribution method. Traditional guitar manufacturers counted on a large portion of their customers discovering their guitars (by chance) when visiting a retail location, whereas MMG needed to "actively drive" potential guitar purchasers to their wcbsite to introduce them to its product line.
MMG also struggled to convince potential customers of the quality of its guitars. Though Marr knew the guitars MMG produ.d were as good as or better than the guitars produ.d by major North American guithr manufacturers, he also knew that convincing brand loyal guitarists that this was the case was a difficult challenge. Buying a new guitar was a very personal acquisition for most musicians. Often, they would visit multiple instrument retail locations and play many guitars before deciding on their final purchase. As an online retailer only, MMG needed its customers to feel comfortable purchasing one of its guitars without having the opportunity to play it first.
To put its potential customers at ease, MMG offered a seven-day "Love it or Leave it" guarantee, which allowed customers a seven-day trial period with their guitar before finalizing their decision. If they were unhappy with their purchase, they could retum it to MMG and receive a full refund.. Historically, the company's customers rarely utilized this guarantee. In fact, kwer than a dozen MMG guitars had bccn returned by dissatisfied customers since the company's inception.

It's hard to find a self-respecting liberal these days who doesn't denounce Donald Trump as "a fascist." if you Google "fascist" the first thing that pops on the screen is a photo of Mr. Trump.
Saturday five of the leading GOP presidential candidates gathered here in Cedar Rapids for the Freedom Works citizens forum "Rising Tide." I participated as a moderator and speaker.
Hillary Clinton seems to be in a race with Bernie Sanders to see who can spend and borrow the most taxpayer money. These days that's how you win the Democratic nomination for president. So far Hillary's losing the spendfest. But she's catching up.
President Barack Obama has been mocked, and appropriately so, for his ludicrous comment that the climate change summit in Paris will be a "powerful rebuke" to the terrorists. No. This summit is a powerful rebuke to common sense.
Remember the campus unrest in the 1960s? Whether you agreed with the students or not, they were protesting about things of great consequence — like civil rights, or the military draft, or the Vietnam War. They had chants like "hell no, we won't go." Those were the good old days.
Outside the massive Milwaukee theater, venue of Tuesday's 4th Republican presidential debate, were the noisy protesters marching for a hike in the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. They held up signs chanting "Fight for $15."
Here's a no-good-deed-goes unpunished story.

Medical Physics On-line
When the winter comes and you're getting ready to trade those summer trainers to your extra sturdy winter pair, any destructive thoughts concerning heading out on icy trails may not be foremost in your mind. Probably the most horrifying and grotesque of these were the medical experiments carried out by Nazi Germany throughout World Warfare II on inmates in focus camps. Given the American religion in medical advances (the NIH is basically exempt from the current disillusionment with government), it is easy to forget that scientific trials can be risky enterprise. Each lists included 56 articles, not 50, because articles with the identical absolute number of citations shared the identical rank.
First, the decision asks us to contemplate granting the proper to make medical choices to adolescents as a basic principle. Saudi Arabia and Iran every have one entrant; King Saud College (KSU, 301-four hundred for drugs; 249th on this planet rankings) and Tehran College of Medical Sciences (201-250 for medicine; not featured on the planet rankings). For those who're a prospective medical pupil, you is perhaps wondering the place, out of the 1000's of medical colleges on the planet, you should study. Your means to debate this subject, rationally and with applicable emotional expression will go a great distance toward convincing an grownup decide who should resolve whether adolescents are able to making good medical choices. Switzerland , Denmark , Finland and Ireland every declare five main medical colleges.

There will always be resistance to new information which doesn't match into the current framework, regardless of how cheap (or factual) that information could be. For my part, we can simply argue that financial considerations are not any tougher to grasp than the medical decisions to be made.

In the final week of my children's school year, I forgot one vital component – Gifts for Teachers! I don't know why or how that skipped my mind, but it did. So I took to Pinterest {as per} for some inspiration, popped out to the shops for some bits & got to work. I found some super adorable gift ideas for my children's teachers, so I thought I'd bundle them into a post to share with you all.
Smart Cookie Jar
This is a super sweet idea that I came across on Pinterest and I knew it would make the perfect gift for my son's Primary school Teachers. Each one cost £3 to put together and if you own a printer & laminator at home, well you're onto a winner. Alternatively, you could just print a tag and skip laminating it, but I thought to do that gave the overall look quite a nice finishing touch.
I picked up the clip lock jar {that so far from what they are actually called by the way!} from a local B&M for £1.99 each and a box of Cadbury cookies for £1. Of course, you could bake your own cookies, but this Super Busy Mum didn't have the time for that – so these were shop bought. You can find the "Thanks to you I'm one Smart Cookie" printable tag, here.
"Thanks for helping me Grow" Plant pot
This idea {that I also found over on good old Pinterest} is the cutest & I knew it would make the perfect gift for my littlest ladies Preschool Teachers. Again, very cheap – the pots {along with the little ceramic bases} cost £5 {2 x pots & 2 x bases} from the local garden centre. Each Pepper plant cost £2.99.
As for the details, I just painted the rim of the plant pot yellow & added little markings to look like a ruler. You can download & print the "Thanks for helping me grow" tags here.
Apple Pencil Jar
This was another very simple DIY Teacher Gift craft to put together. I have loads {perhaps too many!} glass mason style jars in my cupboards so I used one of those for this craft. All you need is a mason jar with a screw top lid. You can get ones that the centre of the lid comes out, or you can cut the hole yourself. I used spray on adhesive to add to the inside of the jar and sprinkled red glitter. You can paint the lid green however green was the only paint I didn't have in our craft drawer. Typical. I then added a little string with two little apple leaves that I printed off the internet. You can find the apple leaves clipart, here. This cost me £2 to put together, {£2 for 2 packets of pencils}.
Candle Gift
This simple Candle gift was another find on Pinterest. The candle cost me £2.99 from a local B&M store and all I added was this cute "You are Scent-sational" tag and added it to the jar with a little string.
I hope these cheap & cheerful Gifts for Teachers ideas are helpful. They were lots of fun to make and I know they have made my children's teachers very happy! I have made a Pinnable "Gifts for Teachers" image in case you'd like to pin this post for another time!
Enjoy your Summer everyone!!

On 25th April 2016 the Bishop of St Albans, Rt Revd Alan Smith, received a written answer to a question on support for those at risk of suicide in prison:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans: To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recent increases in the number of non-natural deaths in prisons; and what plans they have to improve mental health support for those in prison who are at risk of suicide. [HL7466]
Lord Faulks: Every death in custody is a tragedy. We are taking forward a wide range of work to reduce violence and the use of drugs, including new psychoactive substances, in prisons and to address the levels of suicide and self-harm.
All deaths in prison custody are subject to a police investigation, an independent investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO), and a Coroner's inquest. We are committed to learning from these investigations to inform the approach of both health and custodial services in identifying and supporting prisoners at risk.
All prisons are required to have procedures in place to identify, manage and support people who are at risk of harming themselves. The Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) process is a prisoner-centred, flexible care planning system for prisoners identified as being at risk of suicide or self-harm. The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) has recently reviewed compliance with the ACCT process and is working to implement the recommendations, which include improvements to multi-disciplinary working between prison and clinical mental health staff. NHS England is implementing new prison clinical information systems which will improve the availability of clinical information to staff in prisons from the early
days in custody.
In addition, the government has initiated a cross departmental Mental Health Taskforce, tasked with developing integrated mental health service pathways in the least restrictive settings and aimed at providing support and intervention to those in need of help at the earliest opportunity.

A pastoral counselor suggested: "Don't sing songs of joy or praise to a heavy heart. What he meant is that people just don't want to hear that everything is going to be alright. Realistically acknowledge with the patient that you truly believe in good things. Simply "be there" for that person. This may simply be just "hanging out" or sitting and listening to the person who just needs a sounding board to vent.
So much of the cancer process is to emotionally deal with the scattered thoughts that abound and that come from anywhere. Many of these are so deeply felt. Those who do not have cancer simply don't have the capacity to understand and fix the problem with a logical thought process. Cancer is not logical, nor should we expect or want our supporters to try and fix us. What we really need is the unconditional patience to hang in there and give a simple smile of "I have no idea what this could be like but if you tell me I will try my best to understand."
For many years, I sat and drove my Mother to therapy for all sorts of radical treatments. The one thing she always told me is that the quality of life is the most important…not the quantity. It seems that the one thing we need to give our loved ones of the gift of time shared, when they want it, and to recognize that they may need to be alone. As a supporter, ask when it is good to be with them and when they want you to leave them for awhile. Sometimes the gift of silence yet "in physical and psychological presence" is the greatest gift of all.
It is okay to be happy and it is okay to cry.
Don't get upset at those who say the wrong things because they just don't know
Don't be afraid to be a beautiful, BOLD diva!
Tip: It is the 21st century and supportive care for Cancer treatment (chemotherapy and radiation therapy) has made huge strides to combat side effects. Communication with your MD/Clinical staff about what you are experiencing is vital to give you optimal care. There is no reason to suffer due to side effects, but if you don't share your new or worsening symptoms, we can't help.
We are a team in your care and you are a vital part of the outcome of this journey by providing us with open and regular dialogue about how you feel. TALK to us when you have a doctor's visit, test, treatment, or injection.
This is an oldie for anyone who is feeling sick and not up to visitors. Many people "drop by" to cheer you up, bring food, etc. Put a small TV-like table at the front door with a pad and pencil plus a note explaining that you do not feel well enough for visitors. Ask visitors to leave a note with name, phone number, etc on the table and a list of what they brought.
I found it good to schedule radiation treatments for the first appointment after lunch. They were always on time and that way you had the morning to get something accomplished in the way of work of any kind.
I found it useful to consult with a dermatologist midway through radiation. Nobody offered this to me but if your skin starts to bubble or blister the dermatologist will have just the right treatment for you. Radiologists and oncologists do their thing and may not always think of your skin.
Schedule a few splurges to the nail salon, spa, etc and then as soon as you get the "all clear" sign, go on a mini break to some place special.
I liked this thought and often reminded myself of it. "How fortunate I am to live in the age when so much has been found out about early detection and appropriate treatment. The professionals that are out there are so skilled, too.
It is perfectly fine – and may actually help – to cry and share your feelings with a family member after you've been diagnosed with cancer. Not talking or sharing will not make it "go away".
At all times post-diagnosis, from figuring out what treatment to use, to during treatment, to recovery and remission, spend your time with positive people. Only.
Everyone, particularly once we get into our 40's and beyond, has been touched by cancer, knows someone who has had cancer. Some use this experience to be positive and helpful.
Others, when they're told of your situation, use it as a prompt to dredge up a horror story or for their own cathartic release. Unless that person is very dear to you, do not give them a second chance to bring you down – the fight you're in is emotional and spiritual as well as medical.
Whenever you go for a consultation or treatment, bring a clear-headed caregiver or advocate, or if that's not possible, take extensive notes. Make the doctor explain what's going on, what the timeline is, where you need to go next, what the possible side effects are, etc. Uncertainty feeds anxiety. Pain medication can fog reasoning and memory, write it down, have your advocate understand the situation. You'll be a more compliant and less anxious patient.
As your treatment progresses, side effects appear, and additional medications come onto the scene, write down your med schedule. Dosage, what time, what day medicine needs to be taken. If pain management or nausea management are part of the treatment program, you must stay ahead of the pain or nausea. Meds must be taken timely and not missed. Follow a written schedule each day, mark off the med as it's taken.
It's important to be well-nourished in your fight, but at the same time chemo or fear of nausea can mess up your sense of taste or smell. Have a wide variety of healthy foods available in the house, fruits, nuts, granolas, crackers, dairy, on and on.
If nothing appeals to you, but it's time to eat, prepare (or have your care giver prepare) a small plate with a taste of a variety of foods: a couple grapes, a sprinkle of nuts, a little cheese, a little mashed potato, some chocolate, whatever might appeal to you. The caregiver should leave the little buffet where you can reach it, and refresh it and change it up regularly.
Stay hydrated throughout your treatments. Water, juices, small shakes should always be at hand.
If you're fighting to maintain your weight, always give in to food whims. I was sent out one evening looking for calf's liver for Shirlee, and cooked it when I got home. Nothing had appealed to her for days, the urge hit her, and she ate with gusto.
Give yourself permission to NOT answer the phone. Check caller ID and just ignore calls if you're too tired to talk. Callers who really want to contact you will leave a message.
If you are going through chemotherapy and losing your hair, you keep a lint roller close by. It will help you cope with the shedding. After my head was shaved, I also used the lint roller to grab those short itchy hairs that kept falling on my clothes and irritating my neck. Frankly, I even used the lint roller on my scalp to grab those shedding hairs.
When friends and family offer help, accept it! If you don't have something for them to do that moment, keep their names and numbers on a list and call them when you realize you need an errand run.
Update everyone's number in your phone. That way you don't have to fumble with the phone book or lost notes when you need to call someone. It will also help you identify callers before you answer the phone.
While you don't want your children to worry, understand that they will worry. However, they will cope better if you let them help you. Depending on their ages, give them chores and make sure they know how much you appreciate their help.
