1) Changing Children's Church
Thanks to everyone who sent in suggestions, ideas and words of
encouragement. After many meetings with committees who help to direct and
decide on programs in our church they have finally come to a decision.
Praise the Lord, they have all agreed that in order to run this new
program, the way that I have presented my vision, I am in need of my own
space. Not for me in particular, but to the benefit of the children and
the leaders. At the final meeting of presenting my dream, everyone was so
encouraging and supportive. I know now that God had a plan and I just
needed to give Him time to bring it all together. I am so excited to get
started on His plan, since now I have abundant space. One room to have our
Children's Church with actual mini pews, and an adjoining room, which they
have agreed to knock out a wall, so we have the look of one big room. I am
now looking for any ideas for decorating, since I have been given
permission to do whatever, to make this room the "Children's Church" room
The program we are using is "Noah's Park" by Cook Ministries. I have
gotten some wonderful ideas before from this website for my Sunday School
class. Keep up the great job Sarah, this is a wonderful wealth of
information and also it is great to be able to post
concerns and get feedback from others in the same situations. May God
continue to Bless you in this ministry.
Love and Prayers

2) (Better than) Children's Church
I too have worked in the past at starting and co-directing a children's
church. Although there was reward within it - there were problems and
obstacles as well. BUT - I found something much more rewarding! A friend
of mine, that was from another church, and I, had such a burden for
children learning about Jesus - that we decided that the best way to get
the information to the most children was to go to them instead of hoping
and praying they would come to us.
We found out we had the right to be in the public school -- it was a
matter of praying hard and going through the right channels to see it
happen. To make a long story short - we approached our public school to
have an after school Bible club for grades K-5. We formed our plan before
approaching the officials. They saw we were serious and had the plan.
Where people said it couldn't happen - it happened!
Our first 6 week program brought 285 children to hear the gospel in public
school building! 47 accepted Christ as Savior our first 6 week session!
Several families went back to churches that had not been for years! Local
VBS programs blossomed! Children started carrying their Bibles to school -
reading them at recess and practicing scripture with one another and with
teachers and bus drivers! (We have a lot of Christian support in our rural
area.) We had over 40 volunteers from 11 different churches working
together to bring more children to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
For 3 years the program has continually changed. We split our location to
2 different schools. Volunteers have been less - but still - just this
spring well over 200 children heard the gospel repeatedly, learned more
Bible stories, were encouraged to put what they were learning into action,
and bonded with the faithful leaders that continue to serve.
Not only has this after-school Bible club become a solid part of the
elementary scene, but the older children that have moved on to middle
school approached us to have a club for them! It was different in that
location in that the kids had to approach the officials first. YAY for
them! They did so and this spring we have had our first 8 week session of
their "Faith Walking Club". We had approximately 70 middle school children
hear the Bible truths explained and put to them as a challenge for
their week. They were challenged to "walk" by "faith" to complete the
tasks - making a difference for Christ in "their" world.
The kids wore their "Faith Walking" shirts at least 1 day a week. The
shirts have a bold salvation scripture on the back. God's Word was in each
and every classroom of the middle school. We know that God's Word will not
return void. Teachers and children alike were "reading" God's Word in
I write to encourage those that have a true heart for the kids to THINK
BIG. There are children that may never be encouraged at home to go to
church. They need Jesus too! God tells us to go to the world with the
gospel. Where you live is your world. GO! Lives are waiting to be changed
for eternity.
If you would like further encouragement on starting an after school Bible
club - or are interested in the Faith Walking shirts - you may contact me

3) Fundraisers?
Hi everyone,
My name is Meg and, I want to thank you for all of your ideas. I pray
God Blesses you all. I am the fundraiser coordinator for my church and
youth group. I just was asked to do this recently and I want to get other
ideas together for fundraisers that work. If anyone has unique ideas
please email me at email@example.com or post on sstn. THANKS!
--from SSTN: there are tons of ideas in the archives at:

4) Kiddie Camp?
I am the Children's Pastor at a small church and we want to do a kiddie
camp this year for the little ones too young for camp. We plan to do a
three day camp at the church for ages 2 to 6 year olds. We are sleeping
out in tents and I need ideas if anyone has done a similar project or just
has good ideas for camp games, crafts, Bible time,food etc. for this age
group. Our funds are also limited so cost is a factor as well.Thanks
--from SSTN: Hi Janie,
Are the parents camping too? I don't know too many people who would allow
their 2-4 year olds to camp out without them. Maybe it's just the area (or
era) I live in.

6) Trash Object Lesson?
I teach a group of young people from ages 7 to 17 and I am trying to
impress on them to get the TRASH out of their lives. Not to quit tv, video
games, rock and roll but to be able to sort out the TRASH in their lives
but I need some ideas for object lessons. Please Help. Linda

7) Getting children to come on Sunday?
My husband is the pastor of a small church, and I am the Sunday School
teacher for 8 thru 11 yr. olds when we have any that is. We have a great
group of youth on Wed. nights, 38 on the attendance chart. The problem is
they come on Wed. nights, but don't come on Sundays. Which I am glad they
come on Wed. at least they get taught once a week. I have tried
everything I know to get them in church on Sundays and nothing has
worked. When my husband and I started at this church they had no program
at all for children, what is so sad is that everyone seemed to be
satisfied with having a handful of adults, and no children. Since God has
called me to minister to children I really could not sit back and do
nothing. With God leading I started the Kidz for Christ on Wed. nights,
which has been a huge success.
I came against a LOT of opposition. The Kidz for Christ has grown by leaps
and bounds. I am afraid the children feel that some of the older adults
at church don't want them there, and sorry to say they are probably
right. How do I get past this and get these children in church on Sunday,
most of these children are from broken homes and have one or both parents
on meth. Some have no parents and live with relatives, all they want is
love. And I can't help but get angry at the people at church who would
rather have their comfortable seats on the pew and look the other way.
When we do have children come in, "church members" say things the kids
overhear and really hurt their feelings. If anyone has any suggestions to
help please let me know.

8) Games and Small Class
In response to your issue with having only one or two children attend your
class each week, my advice is that you take the time to get to know each
child on an individual basis. I'm not sure what curriculum you are using
to teach, or if you choose the lesson each week, but you could try to
incorporate some verse manipulation exercises (for example, hitting a
balloon to one another while saying each word of the verse of the week),
or some individual crafts. I have a similar situation in that, although
my class consists of 12 or so students in my roll book, only half show up
each week. I go ahead and faithfully prepare for all 12, but use
activities that don't require so many students. Also-- don't get
discouraged! Remember that although you only have a few each week, God
may have sent those particular students to you because they need to hear
your lesson, and need your personal attention that particular week.
May God richly bless all your endeavors.

9) Games and Small Class
> I don't know any games or activities for, say, one child
> plus myself or two kids plus myself. Does
> anyone have any insight or ideas that may help me?
This is a problem for me, as well. It can even seem awkward to be in a
situation with one child and one teacher...but when you think about it,
what an opportunity to show the kids how very special they are to you and
to God!
Even if he or she is the ONLY child at church, YOU intend to teach him or
her because s/he is THAT important! Even if I was the only one who needed
a Savior, Jesus would have died for me! WOW!
Now, that should ease the awkwardness we feel, huh?
But for engaging one or two children, we have to get WAY creative...think
of some things you'd do with your own child or grandchild or niece or
nephew if you were babysitting and wanting them to feel special.
Cook (even if it's preparing a cold snack) with them;
dance and sing together (you have more freedom to do silly songs with a
small group because even if they get hyper you can still handle them! you
can have them make their own instruments to play or praise
streamers--attach long lengths of party streamers to large craft sticks
with tape);
do art projects that are too messy or take too much time with larger
groups--like painting;
let the kids cut pictures from magazines to create collages that represent
the topic of the day--for example, if you're discussing creation, they can
cut and paste pics of animals and plants;
do "mad libs"--these are stories where the kids insert other words. For
example, in the first line of the night before Christmas, you might ask
"a holiday," "a place to live," and "an animal." When the child fills in
the blank with "Easter," "a trailer," and "a tiger," the story becomes
funny: Twas the night before Easter and all through the trailer not a
creature was stirring, not even a tiger! Even if it's silly or cheesy the
kids will think it's the funniest thing ever!
You could even have some Christian board games on hand for situations like
this! :o)

What Can Happen If I Drive in New Mexico Without Car Insurance?
All motorists within New Mexico who want to legally operate an automobile must first purchase a coverage plan that satisfies the state's financial responsibility requirements. A driver who fails to do so may be subject to not only expensive medical or property damages after an accident but also various legal consequences.
In the event that a motorist is caught with an insufficient amount of coverage or no coverage at all, he or she is subject to a fine of up to $300. In addition, law enforcement officers who cite such individuals are required to issue a temporary operation sticker for the vehicle and must remove its license plate. The plate will only be returned after the owner has provided the state with proof that he or she has a valid policy for the car and has paid a $25 fee. The fee is waived if proof of insurance is provided within 15 days of the citation.
In an effort to thwart the estimated 26 percent of drivers in the state who lack a New Mexico auto insurance policy from hitting the road uncovered, NM requires proof of financial responsibility for registration and re-registration of autos, and the government has created a system in which the validity of a motorist's vehicle protection plan can be quickly referenced and updated.
All insurers must electronically submit any policy information to the New Mexico Insurance Identification Database (IIDB), where records can be easily accessed and checked. This database is typically examined by law enforcement officers, state agencies, as well as courts in order to check if individuals have met the state's financial responsibility requirements.
When a policy in the state is canceled or terminated, insurers are supposed to update this information in the database. After state authorities are notified of a cancellation or termination, they will send a notice to the vehicle owner requiring him or her to provide proof of coverage. If it is not provided within 20 days, the vehicle will be considered uninsured, and its registration will be suspended.
In the event that a vehicle owner has been informed that they are uninsured despite his or her being covered, the notice may be the result of an error within the database. Drivers are encouraged to double-check that the vehicle identification number listed on their policy matches that of the automobile in order to avoid any potential mistakes.
To avoid these consequences and remain financially prepared for any damages resulting from an automobile accident, residents are urged to consider searching through car insurance quotes online and to locate an affordable plan that meets state minimum requirements. Taking into account the number of uninsured drivers within New Mexico, residents may also want to consider purchasing uninsured motorist protection in order to safeguard against possible accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers.

Wyanoke High Point Trail is a 3.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Ringwood, New Jersey that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Hiked this in November starting and ending at Otter Hole. It was challenging crossing the creek from the parking lot due to high water. Very nice views at Wyanokie High Point and Chikahokie Falls. Terrain was moderate to difficult, especially descending the yellow dot trail on Carris Hill where we fell multiple times. Overall we had a great time and would go definitely go back. Trekking poles are highly recommended.
Great place to hike
Gonna be honest: in the end I loved this hike. But at first, it was VERY difficult to find the correct trail and I wasted about an hour along with another group trying to find the correct way to High Point. I'm sure it's easier to find outside of fall, but with leaves covering EVERY path, it's super hard to determine what's actually a trail and what isn't. I would recommend just walking up Snake Den rd until you get to the trail head which is an Info Stand (not the one in the parking lot). The actual hike can be treacherous if you aren't skilled at climbing over rocks and definitely wear good shoes or you'll have a rolled and/or broken ankle in no time (especially on slippery leaves or mud)
Unbelievable view from the top. A rocky terrain. The trailhead is behind the Natural swimming pool.
Great trail! Lots of rocks to walk up, amazing views. My 7 year old kept up with no problem, but it's not an easy trail. It took us about 3 hours to complete the loop.
I have a very special place in my heart for this hike. Some spots are tough.. the views make it worth it. In a few areas you walk through a lot of brush.. check for ticks and mind your footing, all good. Make sure to stop along the way to enjoy the many views you will see.
Challenging rugged terrain with a few nice overlooks on the way to the incredible 360 degree view at Wyanokie High Point. Great for all skill levels.
Was having a great time in this beautiful forest until I came across a black bear right before high point on the white trail with red dot in the middle... Thankfully, it turned once it saw me. Be cautious of your surrounding! Lots of wildlife here, saw deers and a turkey.
Good exercise. Good views. Got a little lost at some points. Overall good hike.
Pretty good hike. View up top is pretty awesome. Covered by trees the whole way so the sun isnt beating down on you. Multiple scenic views to look at as you go up to high point which makes for a nice spot to eat some snacks and catch up on hydration.
I went in October and the view was beautiful. The colors of the leaves were just changing and very vibrant. You can see the NYC skyline once you get to high point of the trail. The trail was very moderate and anyone could do this trail!
Very pretty. View of NYC skyline was cool. This hike is as good as any in the lower ADKs and one of my fave Jersey hikes.
Great exercise for an afternoon. Climbs and views. Trekking poles helped my short legs. Nothing too strenuous. Beautiful views and interesting features.
Study the map at the park first and find the map at the kiosk showing the multiple trails and color codes for their blazes. The loop shown here is a small part of what you will see in the total network of trails. Look to match the shape of this loop with the trails on the right side of the map.
I relied on the GPS to stay on the loop shown here, but got off the intended trail and lost the yellow/white blazes near the end. Thought we were on the trail but ended up in someone's backyard. It was easy to get to the street at that point and you were back at the parking lot. The network of orange, yellow-white, and red-white trails near the end is confusing, many parallel and shared trails, some making small loops. Take a photo at the kiosk or have a map to keep track of your route in this section.
Great hike! Beautiful views!
Good hike. Great views. Many slippery rocks that require caution. Not technically difficult. .
Great trail with some awesome views. Like other reviewers, It was a bit confusing to get onto the right trail but in the end I followed the green blazes that start near the pool by the parking lot and then the blue blazes up to the Ridgeline. There were some steep sections but I don't think it's very strenuous. Great way to spend a few hours when you need a quick nature fix.
Love how you can get amazing views without a super strenuous hike. I did get lost though. There are so many trails at this park and a lot of them run parallel to eachother which doesnt help... luckily i had service and data to look up a map and track my location to get back on the right track. otherwise an awesome loop and good hike with nice views
Beautiful views throughout the hike. We thought we were following the loop but ended up on the opposite side of the mountain, 8 miles from our car! Be more observant than us!!
Took a few minutes to find the start of the trail (followed the blue trail up and back). Amazing views from the top. Almost took the wrong blue trail back, but quickly sorted it out. I agree with the moderate level. Would love to go back with a drone and to also see the mines. The Natural pool looked interesting as well.
Amazing views from many vistas all the way to the top. Green to blue and back and not too difficult. A very busy trail with hikers, never alone for too long.
This trail is incredibly scenic and fun. It's somewhat challenging but not difficult. We ate wild blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries along the entire trail. They are in large abundance.
little hard to find the trails first, but once you on it it is a great hike. Don't miss visit the mine on your way up!
Really great views and lots of interesting points along the trail! Highly recommend.
I loved every moment of this trip. I went alone but it was so grounding. I met wonderful people - the high point wasn't too crowded and I was able to do some yoga on the side of the cliff. It was wonderful !
Raphael C.
Collado was here 2016.. Woot woot
I enjoyed the trail but my intentions were to hike Wyanoke High Point and then onto Chikahoki Falls but the maps I brought along and the trail flares (or lack there of) weren't of much use. I think hiking Wyanoke is pretty straight forward and well mapped/flared out but beyond it, it might get difficult. Definitely have a GPS (or luck out and meet a nice bunch of locals who will help point you in the right direction) of some sort because it might be hard to navigate without it. Regarding High Point itself, its not too challenging of a hike and the best views are near the summit.
The trail and the view are beautiful. I had a great time on this hike BUT
-Unlike the description on alltrails there are multiple hike routes for this trail and they are
1. definitely longer than 3 miles (think more like 10-15)
2. not necessarily a loop
Since the map is totally awful (for multiple reasons, but one being there is no indication of distance whatsoever) I assumed the 1 actual loop (green/blue trail) is the 3 mile loop. Since from the map it is the only trail that loops around.
My BF and I began at the highland natural pool (this is where the GPS will take you direct from the app). We were hiking for about 3 hours following the blue trail (we took a detour to highpoint, then went back to blue), thinking we must be close to the exit, we see a group of people and they said the exit was about 20 mins away, but "by the waterfall". Now entering a slight panic (since the sun was getting ready to set) we headed that way (still following blue trail). We get out to the street and asked a family who was there if they knew where the natural pool was and they said about 7 miles. Another 1-1.5 hours after going back into the woods OR 7-8 miles of walking on the street. No cell service available, sun is setting. The family was kind enough to give us a ride to our car (about 10-15 min drive).
I still highly recommend this hike, it is super fun, great view etc. But I want to make sure the description is clear to everyone. I don't want anyone to end up in a similar situation. Happy hiking!

Patient McIlroy awaits wounded Tiger
Email interviews are never quite the same and yet Rory McIlroy's replies to questions from The National ahead of the 25th anniversary edition of the Omega Dubai Desert are remarkably eloquent. And revealing.
It certainly reads nothing like one of those verbatim interview transcripts we are handed at tournaments around the world and either McIlroy has been polishing up his writing skills or the hand of someone from Rory McIlroy Inc is clearly present.
Calling Dubai his 'home from home', he writes:
"That affinity stemmed from my time here as an amateur and has stayed with me ever since."
Affinity? Stemmed? Not quite the kind of language we are used to hearing from McIlroy, who felt he was denied victory in Abu Dhabi just last Sunday having incurred a two-shot penalty the previous day for failing to take full relief having opted to take advantage of a free drop from a spectator crossing.
"There are a lot of stupid rules in golf and this is one of them," he said before going on to finish second.
His Dubai appearance will reunite him with Nike-stablemate Tiger Woods - a player he followed inside the ropes in Dubai in 2006 after he'd missed the cut as an amateur. Borrowing a photographer's camera, the then 16-year Holywood wanted to see what made his idol tick, feel his presence and hear his shots fizz.
Rory McIlroy's 2009 win in Dubai was his first as a professional
He told The National's John McAuley: "Ha, that was a little cheeky. I was young and in awe of all Tiger had done so, just in case the opportunity didn't come my way again, I thought I'd push my luck a bit. It was worth it to see for myself Tiger's great ball-striking and get a sense of the presence he has on the course."
Woods will arrive in Dubai after one of the worst rounds of his PGA Tour career at Torrey Pines on Saturday, where he shot a seven over 79 to miss the third round cut in an event he has won seven times. Though not an official missed cut - MDF (missed cut, did not finish) - it was still the second worst score of his career after the 81 he posted in the third round of the 2002 Open at Muirfield. It was, however, his worst on US soil.
That Woods should fail to birdie a par five in three rounds at a Torrey Pines course where he also won the most recent of his 14 major titles, the 2008 US Open, is more than surprising and adds a little extra juice to his forthcoming meeting with McIlroy at the Emirates Course in Dubai, where he won the title in 2006 and 2008.
In reply to The National on Woods and their rivalry, "McIlroy" wrote: "Perhaps more than any other golfers, there are times when our schedules dictate joint ventures and time in each other's company...."
What is clear is that McIlroy's first professional win in the 2009 Dubai Desert Classic was a huge milestone for him after he had let several European Tour victories slip through his fingers in 2008. Recalling the winning putt, he explained:
"The image of my putt rolling in on 18 is etched on my mind. It was fast, downhill, but I'd played a great bunker shot to get to within a few feet. That gave me some confidence standing over the putt. Having had chances in the past and not taken them, I knew how important it was to put it to bed; I felt it was my time..... Call it naivety, eagerness or being a little overzealous, but at 19 my desire to compete against the best in the world gave me a determination to succeed. I can say with complete honesty there exists very little difference between then and now, yet with one notable exception: patience."
McIlroy is answering these questions but one wonders why someone felt it necessary to give them the full PR "treatment."
It's a management move we might associate with Woods, who is clearly not anywhere near as intimidating as the 30-year old man that a 16-year old McIlroy ran out to watch eight years ago.
The world No 1 confessed in San Diego last week that he's certainly more limited physically these days.
"I'm still able to generate the same amount of clubhead speed as I did when I was younger, it's just that I can't do it every shot anymore," Woods said last week. "I don't have the rotational speed that I used to, and that's a fact of aging."
During his annus horribilis of 2013, McIlroy compared his career to a round of golf and equated his season to a bad third hole.
Asked at his World Challenge last December what hole he was playing in his 18-hole career, Woods said: "I'm front nine."
Saturday's aberration at Torrey Pines was just one round and it remains to be seen if it was anything more than a one-off. What is clear is that McIlroy is not rounding the turn in his career and Woods, while still a player he admires, is no longer a man who intimidates him.
Having thrown the World Challenge away with some weak iron play over the closing stretch last December, one wondered how much trepidation Woods would have about 2014. Does he ever wonder if the game will be there when he returns?
Q. ...Do you have more or less trepidation about your game as you go into the new season, more or less confidence, more or less belief?
TIGER WOODS: Well, I've done well at Torrey Pines. I've done pretty good. That's my first tournament back.
Q. Is there ever any doubt there, I mean as you start a new year?
TIGER WOODS: Of course there is. I mean I've come off of long breaks. I've come off of surgeries, you know, whatever it may be. I've had my share of off seasons, and I can tell you one thing, I'm looking forward to this one.
On the evidence of what we've seen so far in 2014, McIlroy has come out of this off season the stronger man in every way.

Sloe Gin
3 comments:
They look like sloes to me Debbie.ReplyDelete
They definitely look like sloes but need to ripen up a bit more. They make fantastic jam but you do need a lot of them - happy hunting!ReplyDelete
They sure look like sloes. Small sloes are sloes and big sloes are bullaces. The wood has pretty sharp thorns on it, which may help you identify the sloe or blackthorn tree.ReplyDelete
They do need to ripen a bit. The idea of harvesting them after the first frost is 1) they're ripe by then and 2) the frost 'blets' the fruit (softens it and splits the skin).
I pick mine before the first frost because a good blackthorn tree is coveted and you may come to pick the fruit and find someone beat you to it! If you stick the fruits in the freezer for a couple of days it does the same thing.
If you pick the sloes in October, freeze them and make them into sloe gin now, it will be ready to drink this time next year. That's why everyone is on about sloe gin at the moment - last year's sloe gin is ready!
If you want a recipe (basically gin, sloes & sugar) or other sloe recipes, email me and I'll give you what I have.
Don't forget crabapples, elderberries and blackberries - you can bulk out sloe jelly with other fruits. Crabapples give much needed pectin to jams and jellies. Good luck with your harvest!

How we picked those words:
It was totally random. We asked five people at our recent workshop with Brian Henry for a word. We didn't tell them why. We simply said, "Quick! A word." So these are what we got. Just think about all the ways you could apply these words or add these events/features/things into your story. Sound fun?
So other than that little detail, the sky's the limit with your story. It can be any length up to 5000 words and any genre will be accepted.
Who can enter:
Anyone living in the Algoma or Manitoulin area for all or part of the year is eligible to enter.
There are two divisions: young writers, aged 18 and under; or adults, aged 19 and over.
First Prize in each category is $50.00, second is $30.00 and third is $20.00.

- Stories must be typed in Times New Roman, 12 pt, double-spaced, with one-inch margins.
- Your title and page number should appear on every page.
- Send four copies and one cover sheet with the story title and your name, address, phone and email on it.
- Indicate "adult" or "young writer".
- Do NOT put your name on the story itself.
- An entry fee of $5.00 should accompany each story. Make cheques payable to Stories in the North.
Where to send your stories:
Stories should be mailed (make sure you have the right number of copies!) to:
Stories in the North Short Story Contest
c/o Box 369
Thessalon, ON
Stories must be postmarked by May 31, 2015.
Entry to this contest includes release of first publication rights only for the winning stories. All other rights remain with the author. For stories that don't win, all rights remain with the author.

Got any more questions?
Send them to SiN member Pauline Clark at firstname.lastname@example.com with "Story Contest" in the subject line.

BY Candice Delgado, Community Engagement Fellow
I have lived in North Carolina for almost 10 years. I was drawn to this area to settle down for a number of reasons ….the Triangle's sweet southern hospitality, prestigious universities, vibrant & colorful seasons, and living in a prime location being nestled only a few hours away from the mountains and beaches. While I have enjoyed the perks of living in this area, my life has been devoted to a career as an elementary teacher.
For the past five years I have been honored to teach 4th graders at a public school in the Triangle. Working with 9 & 10 year old children is refreshing, encouraging, and eye opening. As I write today, I am humbled by all the lessons and life experiences I have learned through each child I have taught.
I look back on my years as a teacher with happy memories, and many moments I will never forget. It's hard to forget when your own student walks through the classroom door looking disheveled and lost as they explain that that they don't have a home to live in anymore, they don't have anywhere to stay, and they're scared. It's hard to forget the heartbreak of looking into the eyes of a child that has not had a meal in over 24 hours nor do they know when their next meal will be and they tell you they are just hungry.
Homelessness, hunger, and family stability are just a few of the problems that became a regular concern for many of my students. These problems became so frequent that my heart led me to look outside of school walls and seek out places that help in the community to meet these needs. That is when I came across an opportunity for a Community Engagement Fellowship at United Way of the Greater Triangle.
In my first few days at UWGT I learned so much about the exciting new things going on, but truthfully I was overwhelmed with emotions when I learned about the Triangle Paradox. The paradox shows that yes-the triangle is the #1 happiest place to live and one of the top two best places for young professionals, but it also shows the cold facts that each and every day there are at least 100,000 children that are food insecure. I was saddened to learn that on any given night there are over 2,000 homeless people in the triangle. These facts are hard to digest, but even more so they are hard to forget about when you live, see, and work in this community. I was drawn to United Way of the Greater Triangle for their collaborative approach to supporting the community's needs. They have agencies working collaboratively, to address families-both children and adults together. That means that agencies can come together and work on the family as a whole and put them on a pathway for success.
After thinking about the needs in our community I am reminded of a quote that I often shared with my students, which comes from a TED talk by Pearl Arredondo, called My story, from gangland daughter to star teacher. Pearl says, "Everyone has a story; everyone has a struggle; and everyone needs help along the way." This quote stays with me as I begin my first few weeks as a fellow, because my heart continues to lead me to want to know other people's story. I feel encouraged that I am surrounded by people at this organization that are passionate about their community, they want to impact individuals that need help, and they want to foster a community united for transformative change. I am thankful that my heart has led me to this fellowship opportunity and I'm excited to build relationships out in the community and share the exciting things that UWGT is doing in the Triangle. I am truly looking forward to the next few months of being a Community Engagement Fellow!

|Denise Richards mini Gallery
Denise ("StarshipTroopers") Richards became a big star after her noticable appearances in Starship Troopers (1997) (DVD, VHS), and later in Wild Things (1998) (DVD, VHS). She was quite good, especially in respect of her beautiful body... Lately she made Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) (DVD, VHS), which is NOT going to be a big box-office success. I don't know why (up to now I haven't seen the film), but can be an omen. Paraphrasing the title of her next (James Bond) movie (The World is Not Enough (1999)) (DVD, VHS), can we guess that "the beautiful body is not enough"? Well, I think Denise Richards is a charming person, and possibly could act quite well gentle characters. Newertheless, to play Lara Croft requires a more initiative, more "fighty" personality. Returning to the James Bond movie, sometimes you can see Denise in very nice Lara Croft style dress, what is a good point of the film...

Creating a World-Class Twin Cities
By: Jay Walljasper
Original story first posted on the Twin Cities LISC site and adapted for the Line, appearing on December 19, 2012. Special thanks to Jay Walljasper, a Minneapolis writer who writes about cities. More at www.JayWalljasper.com
Connectivity and Creativity: For 30 years knowledge and technology have been the locomotives of economic and cultural change, Landry notes. But with the rise of web 2.0, connectivity and creativity now play an equally important role, which fosters new ways of looking at our communities. We are evolving from a strict "urban engineering" approach to a more expansive "city-making" approach. This offers the opportunity to enrich economic development and urban design plans by incorporating a broader web of perspectives, including health advocates, artists, and everyday citizens from a diversity of neighborhoods.
"It's very important that the community be involved with developments from the start," he says, "so that they can have a say in what happens."
Summarizing, Landry says, "By all this is what I mean is that Minneapolis-St. Paul will benefit by saying 'yes' to more people's creativity."

Working together to save your cash
Partnership working by Boston Borough Council and East Lindsey District Council will produce substantial savings for both authorities.
From Monday, February 17, Boston's binmen will be collecting household waste from some residents who live just across the border in East Lindsey District Council's area.
The deal came about following the opening of the new Lincolnshire County Council waste transfer station at Slippery Gowt, opposite the Boston household waste recycling centre - "the 'tip".
There are now waste transfer stations in Boston, Louth, Sleaford, Grantham and Gainsborough and they are used by the districts to deposit their residual waste (from the green bin collections in Boston's case) and, in some cases, such as Boston, their dry recyclables (blue bin) waste, prior to it being transported to a treatment site.
All of Lincolnshire's landfill sites, no longer considered environmentally friendly and uneconomic, are coming to the end of their lives, and the new Energy from Waste plant in North Hykeham has become the destination for all of the county's residual waste.
In East Lindsey's case, the closure of the Kirkby-on-Bain and Skegness sites in the future would have meant that all residual waste collected in the most southerly part of their district - the New York, Langrick, Friskney and Mareham areas - would have to go all the way back to the Louth waste transfer station. Having deposited its full loads the lorry and crew would then have to return to the last point they had collected from, in order to carry on.
Cllr Mike Brookes, Boston Borough Council's portfolio holder for waste services, said: "Conscious of our geographical proximity to such areas we met with colleagues at East Lindsey to determine whether it would make operational and financial sense for us to deliver refuse and recycling collections to certain East Lindsey residents, given that we benefit from a much handier and more local site in Wyberton for disposal."
In collaboration with Lincolnshire County Council it was agreed this was the most economic way forward.
From February 17 Boston Borough Council will commence alternate weekly collections of residual and dry recyclable waste from more than 5,000 properties in the East Lindsey District Council area, in an arc running east to west from just south of Wainfleet/Spilsby/Horncastle/Coningsby.
The timetable for East Lindsey residents will be amended so that, in line with Boston, residual waste is collected one week and recycling the next.
Flyers are being sent out by East Lindsey District Council to give due notice of changes to collection routines.
Residents are being advised to present their bins before 5.30am on the day of collection.
One of Boston's refuse freighters, with improved loading abilities, will be used.
Both councils make financial and operational savings.
To deliver this new service across the whole of their area East Lindsey District Council is changing its refuse and recycling collection regimes, including revised collection days and times.
Cllr Peter Bedford, leader of Boston Borough Council, said: "We have been working with East Lindsey District Council on this project since 2011, so it is good to see it come to fruition. The service residents have been used to will be maintained and both councils will gain from additional flexibility and improved efficiencies of operation."

The beautiful Carole Laure shows us a lot in the movie La tête de Normande St-Onge. Among the many scenes, you can't forget a long masturbation by her partner, while she's laying on the bed, her t-shirt raised to reveal her breasts and a pair of white woolen garments. A very long and very exciting sequence. But the video clips from this movie are many and they are all fabulous. If you want to enjoy the naked scenes of this Canadian actress in her best years, this update is yours!

Story: When In Rome
Summary: When prince Inuyasha of the Eastern lands asked for a bedslave, he meant a cute little uke. He definitely did not mean the tall, rugged, stunningly beautiful prisoner of war with silver hair and purple stripes on his face. When the adorable, puppy-eared prince tries to show him his place as a slave, what's Sesshoumaru to do? Sess/Inu YAOI Master!Inuyasha Slave!Sess Dom!Sess Sub!Inu
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and make no money from the writing of this fic.
Chapter 1
"Sometimes you lose a battle, but mischief always wins the war."
–John Green, 'Looking for Alaska'
The young war messenger boy trembled as the stood before the throne of Inu no Taisho, the great phantom beast, ruler of the Western Lands. Don't kill the messenger was rumoured to be a well-known belief of the just dog General, but he didn't think anyone had ever had the misfortune of relaying bad news of this magnitude to the king yet.
Inu on Taisho's face was inscrutable as the heard the message. The dark, empty throne-room was dead silent as the messenger waited to either be dismissed or dismembered.
"The battle is lost," Taisho repeated, face cast in frightening shadows as he stared off into the distance.
The messenger nodded hesitantly. Sweat from his brow dripped on his nervous hands clasped in front of him.
"And my son has been captured," Taisho continued, as though repeating the words to himself would make sure the words were not false.
"Y-yes, milord," the boy said hesitantly.
Taisho's golden eyes suddenly snapped up to meet his, and the messenger was afraid he may have eep-ed.
"You have done well to carry the message to me," Taisho said, his deep, authoritative voice resounding in the big, spacious room. "Keep the news to yourself. Do not breathe a word of it to anyone."
The messenger stared up at him, mouth falling open, then nodded frantically.
Inu no Taisho's eyes were hard and intense as they bored into his wide frightened ones. "If anyone knows of this, it is your life that will be forfeit."
The boy gasped and bowed low.
"Y-yes, my Lord."
"It doesn't become the ruler of the West to be so transparent in his glee, my Lord," Lady Tsukiko drawled, leaning against a shadowed pillar in the far end of the room.
Inu no Taisho turned to her and scowled.
"What are you talking about, woman," he said. Irritation was swiftly replacing the dark, smug satisfaction he had been feeling.
Tsukiko walked in and waved her hand non chalantly. The long, almost translucent silver sleeve of her kimono caught the faint moonlight from the open window and shimmered beautifully. "All the… dramatics."
"The boy was properly nervous," Taisho said, tightlipped. His voice was neutral but his hands were clenched into fists in his lap.
Tsukiko smirked. "That is his disingenuity and not your triumph."
Taisho couldn't keep the grin off his face even though he felt like throttling her.
"But you see, I was right," he declared. "The brat finally got his comeuppance."
Tsukiko tsked and checked her flawless nails.
"And what is my lord's plan for his first-born now, pray tell?"
Taisho grinned even wider.
"Let him be."
Tsukiko raised one eyebrow.
"He must understand the consequences of his actions," Taisho declared. "We aren't doing him any favours by pulling him out of every misfortune."
The lady of the West gave him a look that made him want to curl up on his throne and hide from her x-raying gaze.
"And this has nothing to do with the fact that you're relishing his misery since he defied you?"
Taisho's lips thinned. "….no."
Tsukiko laughed. The Lord of the Western lands, the great phantom beast threw a cushion at her.
Sesshoumaru scowled as he was led away in shackles towards the palace with the other prisoners of war.
The Land of the east was dry and hot, with far less trees and vegetation than the Western Lands. Hot, dry winds blew all day long, and the people of the land seemed to be used to a much harsher way of life than the subjects of the Western Lord. The palace of the Eastern Lord was visible in the distance. It was an imposing structure compared to the surrounding dwellings, but not nearly as grand as the Western castle. Sesshoumaru deduced that the Eastern land was less advanced and less economically well-off than the West.
When he was captured, he was stripped of his effects and was wearing the simplest clothes made of sack cloth. His long silver hair was tied back in a simple plait. Actually, it was customary for slaves to have their hair almost shaved off by slavers, but none of the slavers felt brave enough to approach Sesshoumaru with a razor, though they didn't know who he was, and couldn't explain why they were afraid.
And that was the one stipulation his father and mother, the Lord and Lady of the Western Lands had made – he could not reveal his identity to the enemy if he was to be while allowed to take a small portion of their army and some so-called valiant men. They had insisted from the start that it was a bad idea to wage war on a land so very far away from home, and he had insisted it was a battle that he could win.
The upshot of it was that in order to make him realize the importance of being a General instead of a fighter, they had stipulated that he could take what men he needed and go, provided his word that he would not wage the war in the name of the Western lord Inu no Taisho, and would in no way let them know who he was. After all, he may be able to slaughter an entire army himself if it came down to it, and just the name of the great Inu no Taisho was many a times enough to have kings surrendering in awe, but this was training for Sesshoumaru to be a ruler, and that meant winning with armies, not brute force.
This meant not transforming into his true demon form, or using most of his powers, because although still much smaller than Inu no Taisho, the form of the legendary beast was instantly recognizable. So he had led his men into battle, not as a Taiyoukai, but as a regular prince, only to find that his army was filled with a bunch of weaklings who couldn't hold their own when their life depended on it.
That is how he found himself in this situation, forced to forfeit the battle because his father's men were thoroughly, stunningly, incompetent and had become little more than frightened rabbits when he had outlined his plan of attack. They were used to Inu no Taisho's leadership and the great General was not only a strong warrior, but a prudent strategist. Lord Sesshoumaru's strategy was either disconcertingly brilliant or absolutely crazy, and none of them were brave enough to risk their lives to find out which, and their panic had lost them the war.
Furious as he was at their insubordination during battle, continuing the battle would cost them their lives, and returning to the Western Lands as the victor but the sole survivor of the battle would defeat the purpose of this whole endeavor and give his father a chance to gloat and that was even less acceptable than being cast in chains.
The prisoners were made to walk barefoot on the baked hot, rocky ground, and the burly slavers with whips in their hands made sure they didn't falter too much. The slavers had dark, cracked skin like the townspeople, and they wore clothing made out of some thin, light cloth. The baking rocks that were making the other youkai groan and flinch were as nothing to the Taiyoukai, and he let the blazing heat fuel thoughts of what was to be wreaked upon the bungling nincompoops that his father deigned to call soldiers once he freed everyone from here and brought them back home.
But somehow, the slavers' whip always seemed to miss him; although the silver haired youkai had neither shown any exceptional powers nor caused them any trouble, the slavers found that their usual sadistic instinct wasn't enough to allow them to strike the man, and when he raised his eyes to look around, they somehow lowered their own.
They were almost at the palace when a young boy, talking loudly and uncouthly to courtly looking men caught their attention. The nobles or courtiers were bowing and scraping hastily, keeping their voice to a whisper, hoping the other man would follow their lead, but to no avail. The slavers and their prisoners stopped of a moment when it seemed there was a chance they would cross his path. Soon they were close enough to see the young man dressed in a red haori and hakama. Sesshoumaru was the first to hear the courtiers addressing him as 'my prince', and the Lord of the West's eyes derisively took in the shabbily worn expensive garment, broken, dirty nails, and coarse white hair.
"That's it. I don't wanna hear one more word outta you all or I'm gonna pound your heads into the ground. That clear?" the boy in red growled. The nobles, towards whom this was directed, seemed more terrified of the fact that the boy did not seem to be comprehending their concerns, rather than of the threat.
So this was the young prince of the Eastern lands, Sesshoumaru thought. The boy was clearly a hanyou, and yet he was being allowed to order full-blooded youkai around. The boy's conduct and language was disgraceful, but then, what more could be expected of a half-breed?
A disdainful "tsk" was audible, the puppy-eared boy and the nobles all looked around in surprise at the source of the sound.
It didn't take long for them to figure out that it had come from the silver haired male among the slaves who were being taken to the palace.
The boy's brows drew down in a thunderous frown, and he stomped towards the slaves and the slavers. The nobles and courtiers momentarily forgot the argument they were having and hurried after their prince.
The silver haired demon who had displayed insolence had his head bowed as was proper for him, and they couldn't see the youkai's eyes behind his silver bangs.
"You dare speak before the prince?" a short, stout courtier demanded.
The slave remained silent.
"Pretty gutsy for a slave, ain't ya?" the prince smirked, crossing his arms arrogantly across his chest.
The other man didn't rise to the provocation. He said nothing and his head remained bowed. The boy's eyes were drawn to the purple markings on his arms and wrists, which contrasted against his extremely pale skin.
"Who is he?" he demanded, looking at the slaver closest to him, who had dark, coarse skin and wore just a loin cloth around his round, fat stomach.
The man's hand tensed around his whip. "N-no one important, sir. One of the upstarts who tried to stage a rebellion."
The prince of the East was fascinated. Apart from his impertinence earlier, the man had done nothing out of the ordinary. He was standing respectfully with his head bowed and eyes lowered, and yet, he didn't fit in with the others. Maybe it was his skin that was paler than even his, or maybe it was his posture that wasn't resigned or fearful like the others', but the other boy couldn't look away.
"Well, are you gonna let him get away with that?" he demanded of the slavers. They were startled and glanced at each other apprehensively.
One of them, the dark-skinned one with the rotund belly gritted his tobacco-stained teeth and raised his whip hesitantly. "O-of course not, my lord."
He brought the whip down in two slashes across the man's back. Inuyasha hungrily waited for his reaction, waited for him to either fall to his knees or scream from the pain – for some reason, he found himself desperate to see the other man's eyes.
The demon didn't flinch. He didn't stagger forward or even move his head at all; the young prince did not see even a single muscle tense in his arms or back. When he looked up, it was a few moments later, and it wasn't at the prince who had given the order. He turned his head and raised his eyes for the first time and locked them with the dark-skinned slaver's. The prince of the East still couldn't see his eyes, but he saw the slaver's eyes widen, and his brow was suddenly drenched in sweat.
A moment later, the silver haired slave once again had his head bowed. If the slaver had expected him to try to break his bonds and attack, it didn't happen. Their prince seemed satisfied with the punishment, and stepped back to let them continue on their way. The silver-haired demon didn't give them any further trouble as they reached their destination, but the slaver couldn't shake the feeling that he had just shortened his life by centuries.
That night, prince Inuyasha lay awake in his large luxurious bed, staring up at the ceiling. Cool wind gently blew the curtains of his window. The temperature was pleasant, the bed was soft, but he couldn't get the silver-haired, impudent youkai out of his mind.
No matter what, he hadn't gotten to see the other man's eyes. He wondered what would become of him; he would probably be put to work in one of the labour camps, forced to do hard labour for the rest of his probably short life. There was no point in wishing to see him again; their paths would never cross.
Inuyasha closed his eyes.
When sleep finally came, he dreamt of thunderstorms and purple stripes on pale skin.
A/N: Hello again! ^.^ You will have noticed that Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are once again not brothers in this fic. Also, for those who were worried about it, Sess will NOT be uke. =^.^=
Review and let me know what you think!

Police are looking to question two South Carolina football players that are expected to be chosen in next month's NFL Draft about a beating suffered by a Brooklyn man at a nightclub in New York City over the weekend. Michael Haver was beaten so badly at the Greenhouse nightclub Friday night, according to police, that he needed surgery to repair facial injuries. Police say Victor Hampton and Kelcy Quarles, both 22 and elite Gamecocks players, were at the nightclub at the time of the incident.
According to reports, the men were all in the V.I.P. room around 3 a.m. when a man, who may have been one of the football players, began arguing with Haver, 28, and assaulted him. Haver reportedly then took a cab to Metropolitan Hospital Center where he underwent four hours of facial surgery Hampton and Quarles are only being sought as potential witnesses at this point, police said. Hampton, a 5-10, 202 pound cornerback who left after his junior year to enter the draft and Quarles, a 6-4, 298 pound defensive tackle who also left after his junior year, were in town for an ESPN draft-related function. Quarles has denied any involvement in the incident, while Hampton has refused to comment.
And in an incident police believe is unrelated, another University of South Carolina football player in the city for the same event was stabbed outside the Greenhouse nightclub after arguing with an unidentified man. Police said Chaz Sutton, 24, a graduate of the university, was inside the club around 3:45 a.m. when he got into a confrontation with an unknown man, but left soon after to avoid a fight. Sutton then began walking back to his hotel, but the man followed and brandished a knife, stabbing him in the shoulder when he tried to back away, police said. The assailant then fled and his whereabouts are unknown.
Hampton was a four-star prospect out of Darlington High School in South Carolina who was named All-State by the Associated Press in his senior year. He redshirted in 2010 and played 10 games in 2011 as a cornerback and kick returner, finishing with 14 tackles, one interception and a 25.4 yard kickoff return average. As a sophomore in the 2012 season, he played in every game and posted 40 tackles and one pick. Hampton enjoyed his most productive collegiate season in 2013, finishing with 45 tackles and three interceptions.
Quarles, meanwhile, was also a four-star recruit coming out of Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia and played in every game but one as a true freshman in 2011, recording 28 tackles. The following year he started all eleven games for the Gamecocks and finished with 38 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Quarles earned All-SEC First Team honors in 2013 with South Carolina, posting a team-leading 9.5 sacks. Sutton, 25, a fifth-year senior in 2013, went largely unnoticed this past season at defensive end opposite the nation's top defensive pro prospect in Jadeveon Clowney. Sutton finished his senior year at South Carolina with 34 tackles and three sacks last season. At 6-5, 268 pounds he has the size of an NFL defensive end, but is expected to be selected in the later rounds or become an undrafted free agent.

New Jersey Metal and Hardcore Festival - November 14 & 15, 2003
Asbury Park's Convention Hall
Asbury Park, NJ
The endless metal weekend has taken place, and the bands tore it up. In my opinion the New Jersey Metal and Hardcore Festival was more than a success, this was an assault on the brains of the masses. All the bands that I saw played with prestige and intensity unmatched by any previous metal festival in the United States.
Highlights on the weekend included a host of bands for me. Moonspell played an amazing thirty-minute set, which included "Opium," "Alma Mater," and a horde of other gems by the band. They were my favorite band of the weekend. The set list they played, their stage presence and that it was the first time I have had a chance to see them are the main reason behind that decision.
Morbid Angel have been masters of death metal for years, and they showcased their talents on stage in Asbury Park. I have seen them about a half dozen times before, but this weekend was the first time I have seen them play "God of Emptiness" and "Where the Slime Live," both are favorites of mine. "Rapture" and "Bil Ur-Sag" was also a part of their performance.
Many other bands got the pits moving including Dimmu Borgir, Suffocation, Nile, Nevermore, Biohazard, Strapping Young Lad and The Black Dahlia Murder.
If you went to this Festival only knowing the more well know songs by bands, your blood would have boiled when you heard Hypocrisy ending with "Roswell 47" and Cradle of Filth playing "Malice Through the Looking Glass."
Type O Negative came out in prison jumpsuits and opened with an Elvis cover, "Jailhouse Rock." "Black No. 1," "I Don't Wanna Be Me," and many other songs from their library. These guys were also one of the better bands during the weekend.
Since Deicide's songs aren't to long they got to play an assortment of classics including "Dead But Dreaming," "Once Upon the Cross," "When Satan Rules His World," "Serpents of the Light", "Bible Basher" and much more blasphemy.
This show had the best quality of bands crossed with great sets, and endless songs to headbang to. All they need now is a better location for the show, and better hotel. I had an interesting forty-five minute entrapment in their elevator, a couple interesting conversations with the hotel employees and a false fire alarm to ruin my hotel experience there. But the hotel is my only real complaint of the weekend. The sound was decent, but the reverb was out of control a few times. To the surprise of me, the amount of people was less than I expected, but it was beneficial to everyone who went.
I would definitely like to see this show continue in the future. Hopefully the few kinks will be worked out for next year. What more can you say then, even though this was the first year for the fest, it was still the best damn festival to ever be organized in America, if not the whole Western Hemisphere. Good job to all involved and a special thanks to Debbie Sellnow at Mazur Entertainment/Public Relations, Inc. Until next Festival…METAL!!!

New Jersey Metal and Hardcore Festival Preview
Over that last twenty years metal has had it ups and downs in America. The last few years metal seems to be coming back stronger then ever, with even more sub-genres coming to the front of the scene. This November, metal warriors will congregate in Asbury Park, NJ for a show that finally rivals European metal festivals, such as the Wacken Open Air Festival. With the help of the people from MassConcerts (creators of the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival) along with all the bands and supporters, this will be the best show every to grace the United States. The New Jersey Metal and Hardcore Festival is certain to smash some skulls and spill some blood.
The amount of headliners for this two-day festival is astounding. If you took the headliners of either the Friday or Saturday date of the show, that would surpass just about every other metal festival in the US, but there are TWO days of this mayhem! Currently the headliners include: Danzig, Superjoint Ritual, Morbid Angel, Dimmu Borgir, Nevermore, Children Of Bodom, Hypocrisy, Strapping Young Lad and Symphony X headline the show on Friday. Cradle Of Filth, Type O Negative, Nile, Deicide, Suffocation, Hate Eternal, Biohazard, Moonspell and Mastodon headline on Saturday. And that is just the headliners, other bands that will be there include: Unearth, Krisiun, Bongzilla, Diabolic, The Red Chord, A Life Once Lost, Premonitions Of War, Cannae, Between The Buried And Me, All That Remains, Dysrhythmia, Lick Golden Sky, Byzantine, Eyes Of Fire, Full Blown Chaos, With Honor, Subzero, Between The Buried And Me, The End, Watch Them Die, Withered Earth, Novembers Doom, Crematorium, Wasteform, Misery Index, Mastodon, Most Precious Blood, The Takeover, Beyond The Embrace, The Black Dahlia Murder, Bleeding Through, The Killing, Daughters, Held Under, Embrace Today, Traumacide, Human Decline, A Perfect Murder, Scarlet, All Out War, Super Villian, Sinai Beach, Scar Culture, Mortician, The Agony Scene, Across Five Aprils, Malignancy, Backstabbers Incorporated, Fleshgrind, Remembering Never, Dew Scented, Devil Driver, The Devin Townsend Band, Cattle Decapitation, Today Is The Day, plus more to be announced. The caliper of this metal show is simply amazing; I dare someone to try to top this.
There will also be record labels, vendors, and record distributors at the fest. So you can see a new band or a favorite of yours, and then go buy their latest CD or t-shirt. With vendors such as Revolver Magazine, Metal Maniacs Magazine, Metal Blade Records, Emetic Records, The End Records, Prosthetic Records, Victory Records, Leviathan / AK Press, SOD Magazine and Earache Records the selection of merchandise will best just about any music store.
Sponsors are what really make this show possible, and a selection of metal friendly industry such as Revolver Magazine, Relapse Records, Metal Maniacs Magazine, The Aquarian, Mazur PR, The Syndicate, Full Contact Magazine, WSOU, WDHA, and WRAT will help festivals like this to keep going for years to come.
The New Jersey Metal and Hardcore Fest will be held at Asbury Park's Convention Hall on Friday, November 14 at 3:00PM and Saturday, November 15 at 12 Noon. Asbury park will sure to be alive with metal brethren for over 2 days during this extreme weekend.
Friday individual day tickets are $40. Saturday individual day tickets are $45. Two-day tickets are $75. There will also be a SPECIAL two-day event pass that Includes event poster, event t-shirt, commemorative festival laminate, CD sampler, VIP entrance and special VIP area and it costs $150. Tickets are available NOW at ticketmaster.com , all ticketmaster locations or at Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ. To charge tickets by phone, call Ticketmaster at (201) 507-8900 or (609) 520-8383.
So, to all metal heads that want to prove how metal you really are, get off your ass and come to the New Jersey Metal and Hardcore Festival and smash heads with me, "Metal Jeff," …I will be in the pit!!!!

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) is widely recognised as one of the central and defining figures in Scottish literature and in European and American Romanticism. Fabled in his own lifetime as 'the Wizard of the North' and as the (long-anonymous) 'Author of Waverley', he played a unique role in the dissemination of an idea of Scottish culture and history. From his early work as a collector and editor of traditional ballads to the widespread popularity and fame of his poetry and novels, and to his important writings on history, economics, folklore, and literature, Scott refashioned the literary culture of his day and continues to shape our own.
The Edinburgh Companion to Sir Walter Scott, the first collection of its kind devoted to his work, draws on the innovative research and scholarship which have revitalised the study of the whole range of his exceptionally diverse writing in recent years. Chapters written by leading international scholars provide an indispensable guide to his work in different genres and reflect the topics and concerns which are most exciting in Scott scholarship today, including his place in literary and popular culture, his experimentation and originality, his relationship to Romanticism, and the revaluation of lesser-known works.

How to Make Sausage Egg Muffins
The everyday routine of cereal, eggs, or toast may get boring. Spice up that routine with these delicious breakfast muffins. They're easy to make and come out great every time!
Cook Time
Prep Time: 10-15 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
Ready In: 30 - 40 minutes
Serves four to six (12 muffins)
- 1/2 pound of ground pork sausage. This can be substituted with turkey sausage to reduce the amount of fat.
- 12 eggs, beaten well.
- 1/2 can (4 oz.) of chopped green chile peppers, drained. [Optional, used for a slight spicy kick]
- 1 small onion, diced up
- 1 tsp. of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions for Sausage Egg Muffins
- Heat oven to 350ºF. Meanwhile, lightly grease 12 muffin cups. You can use oil spray or butter.
- Place the ground sausage into a large, deep skillet. Cook it over medium-high heat until it evenly turns brown. Drain it and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, chile peppers, diced onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the sausage and mix well. Spoon 1/4 cup of the mixture into each muffin cup.
- Bake in the oven, which should be preheated, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the egg has set and toothpicks stuck in the middle of the muffin come out clean. They should look golden brown like the picture above.
- Allow several minutes to cool.
Alternative Items to add to your Sausage Egg Muffins
Additionally, I like to add some items to add some diversity and flavor to this dish. Things you can add could be; tomatoes, bell peppers, spinach, or pretty much any veggie.
Also, the more eggs you use, the more muffins you come out with. By using this recipe, you'll end up with 12 muffins, which is about 6 servings. You'll have plenty to snack on later!
Nice recipe, Inutero. I will definitely try these. This is a great idea and perfect alternative to the same old breakfast. I could serve these at church. Thanks for a new idea. Voted up and awesome.
I was hooked as soon as I saw the photos. It looks delicious and it seems simple as can be to make. I'm trying this one. Great recipe and thanks for sharing.
