When the influx of casino's first became prominent all over the globe, there were certain protests stating that this would eventually lead to the moral decline of the population. The get rich quick scenario didn't fit so well with those that believe that hard work and proper living were the way to a decent faithful life.
Little did they know that with the technological revolution and the growth of the internet, that such guilty pleasures could be easily attained in our homes, at the touch of a button and with an accessibility in the line of twenty four hours each day.
Yes the gambling revolution had now come full circle and we can all place online bets whenever we desire.
Of course the outcries remain the same, this is playing on the weakness of the individual, that many people will be exploited by a system that has always openly declared that the house will always win. For every winner there is a loser, or two, or three and so on.
Gambling, be it in a casino or online is a risky business, it is a game of chance where the odds are against winning. The fact that online gambling is practically offering an unrestricted front row seat is perhaps not the wisest thing. However it is here, and almost probably here to stay.
So what is the who, where and why?
To begin with, like any gambling franchise you are playing with money, to make money. One needs funds to be able to play and these sites. Money can be deposited through a variety of means, some very quick, others taking days or weeks. Using a credit or debit card is the quest method, it literally takes seconds. The same could be said for any computer or internet banking system. Sites do accept cheques and drafts but obviously these need to be posted and this causes a delay. Note that some credit cards will initially not allow these payments as they can register as cash withdrawals.
Before you are up and running check to see what sites offer the best bonuses. It is wise to check through quite a few as there is various bonus's available.
Of course then the monies are deposited and you have your choice of a variety of games. Everything that you would find in a normal casino is available, and much more.
Just because you are in the safety of your home doesn't lessen the risks of losing money. It can be east to get carried away so rein in your enthusiasm.

The Tribe of Mil shall come as bringers of new bloodlines unto the children of the goddess Danu. As the land is divided, so shall the powers of the Four Treasures be divided. Only the one marked by destiny, possessing the bloodline of both tribes shall inherit the power of the Four Treasures. Prophesy – The Goddess Danu Sometime around 1700 B.C. Wrapped in a woolen cloak , Kalen, the Supreme Chieftain and Prince of the Tuatha Dé Danann tribe, stood at the top of a hill overlooking the sea. Heavy rain poured on him and his troops, and despite his cloak, he shivered— not from the rain but from a growing sense of dread as he watched Milesian invaders storm the rocky shores.
A single thought echoed through his mind, eliciting a far greater panic than any of the razor -sharp iron weapons threatening to rip through the flesh of his fellow Tuatha Dé warriors. Inis Fail is lost.
Four months ago, heedless of his argument to the contrary, the three Tuatha Dé Kings issued an order to kill the brother of the Milesian king sent to Ireland on a goodwill envoy. He knew it had been a foolish decision, one that threatened the very existence of their race. Kalen wasn't surprised when the Milesians returned to Ireland a week ago demanding retribution. Instead of taking the threat seriously, the three Kings tricked them into giving the Tuatha Dé a week reprieve, and as the Milesians boarded their ships to await the decision of the Tuatha Dé Kings, the Kings summoned a magical storm to sink the entire fleet . To the Kings' dismay , the invaders' magic proved superior, and now they were back, swarming the coast with revenge in their hearts and the one type of weapon that could kill the nearly immortal Tuatha Dé in their hands: iron swords.
Brushing the rain from his face, Kalen's eyes narrowed as he estimated the number of invaders partially hidden by the storm-darkened skies. The total caused the hair on his arms to stand on end. Knowing he had no choice, Kalen forced all doubts of the future from his mind. He had work to do— a battle to fight and the Four Treasures to defend.
A drumbeat sounded from the Milesian's ranks as they climbed out of their boats. The most courageous Milesians surged forward with iron swords held high, taunting the Tuatha Dé warriors. They circled in front of the Tuatha Dé's ranks, daring them to break formation and provoking rowdy cheers from the other Milesians.
"Ignore their taunts. We're going to make them come to us. Hold firm. When they attack, the magic bestowed upon us by our faithful goddess will overwhelm them," Mac Cuill, one of the three Kings of the Tuatha Dé and Kalen's direct superior, shouted as he paced back and forth behind the front line of warriors.
An ominous chanting started from the rear of the Milesian's formation, quietly at first then gradually growing into a loud rumble. " I am a buck of seven tines, I am a broad flood on a plain, I am a storm on bottomless waters , I am a glowing tear of the sun, I am a hawk on a crag, I am fair among flowers, I am a deity who sets the head afire with smoke. I am a battle waging spear…"
"The chanting won't be so inspirational when they're lying in a pool of their own blood." Mac Cuill mocked, letting out bubbling laughter. "Perhaps, they should save their energy for fighting instead of squandering it on premature celebration."
"There are three of them to every one of us," Kalen said, observing the invaders with growing unease. "Underestimating them would be a grave mistake."
"We've encountered stronger enemies than this one, and we have the Four Treasures on our side. We are invincible."
Kalen eyed the four separate groups of Tuatha Dé warriors, each flying the banner representing their city of origin in Atlantis and each proudly wielding one of the Four Treasures – the Stone of Destiny, the Sword of Light, the Spear of Victory, and the Cauldron of Renewal. As if sensing the wheels of destiny in motion, each of the Four Treasures glowed and pulsed with preternatural light, almost ungodly in its brilliance.
When the invaders finished disembarking, a cheer reverberated through the Mileasian's ranks , followed by the bellow of one of their leaders. "Kill them! Kill them all, every last one and this land and all its treasures shall be ours. Their lives are yours to take . Show them their fate." Like men possessed, they charged forward to meet their enemy, swords raised high.
Overwhelming anxiety caused some of the Tuatha Dé to break formation and meet the onslaught of the invaders.
"Stand and wait," Mac Cuill hollered, struggling to be heard over the clanging of weapons . "The goddess will not desert us. The Treasures will not fail us. We are the chosen tribe. Don't be afraid." The Tuatha Dé shifted back into formation, nervously awaiting Mac Cuill's command to engage the invaders.
"This is wrong ," Kalen spat out, no longer able to hold his silence. "We cannot wait for them to slaughter us. Can't you see their weapons are made of iron? The Treasures are irrelevant. We're powerless to defend ourselves from this invasion. We should retreat and regroup. The Goddess Danu has forsaken us."
Mac Cuill speared Kalen with his eyes. "Your thoughts are treasonous. We will be victorious." Refocusing his attention on his warriors, he yelled, "On the count of ten, charge." With mounting dread, Kalen turned from Mac Cuill, watching the invaders rush forward.
Mac Cuill's count floated through the air. "… Three, two, one. Now!"
It happened so fast. Mac Cuill charged forward with the front line of warriors just as the Milesians released a cloud of iron-tipped arrows that glided through the sky, buzzing like swarming bees. As the arrows fell, so did Mac Cuill's lifeless body along with dozens of Tuatha Dé warriors. And then the tribes collided, killing each other in a relentless fever of screaming, hacking, slashing, and indiscriminate slaughter. Blood covered the once green knoll, coloring it a deep burgundy. Bodies fell in rhythm with the haunting pulse of drummers as if the battle were a choreographed play of carnage.
Hours passed without the Tuatha Dé having any respite from the waves of invaders. Cries of agony faded into the roar of utter chaos. Kalen swung his club with desperation, smashing it against an invader's head, nearly splitting it open. Sensing something menacing hovering near his back, he whipped around without hesitation, blocking the sword of his next adversary and throwing a dagger into his chest.
When he had a moment of reprieve, he surveyed the battlefield, looking for any sign the goddess had not abandoned them and they would not be forced to share this land with the invaders, or worse, be driven from their homeland, but it was hopeless. A seemingly endless number of Milesians continued to charge the battlefield from the growing fleet of ships floating near the coast. They were doomed to failure, and it was not long before the last living King realized it too.
The last King of the Tuatha Dé blew the horn calling for the remaining Tuatha Dé warriors to abandon the battlefield. Kalen looked around, mesmerized by the carnage of tangled, writhing, and limp bodies and offered a brief invocation to the goddess Danu for mercy and salvation. The surviving Tuatha Dé fought their way through the frenzied mob of invaders and the dead bodies littering the blood-soaked grass to find refuge in their underground stronghold.
Over time, the Tuatha Dé underground stronghold grew beneath the green hills and vales of Inis Fail, eventually becoming a kingdom of its own. Thus, Inis Fail, now known as Ireland was divided between the two tribes and into two kingdoms. The Tuatha Dé, also known as the Fae or Faeries, ruled over the Otherworld. The Milesians, or humans, ruled over Earth's surface.

You were hoping
I would feed you bread
warm, moist, yeasty, fragrant,
homemade by my lovely little hands
that somehow stay
miraculously manicured.
You were hoping
I would bake you cookies
full of chocolate, nuts and real butter
on shiny aluminum sheets
in a gleaming kitchen kept spotless
as if by magic.
You were hoping
I would give you daily
crisp white shirts and
floors so shiny clean
we wouldn't need plates
just like those ladies on TV.
You were hoping
I'd stay forever young and firm,
high breasts and flat belly,
effortlessly birthing
not too many children
without ever mussing my hair
or popping a stretch mark
and Mary Poppins would appear
every time you made plans for us.
You were hoping
I'd prefer garter belts and stockings
to bare legs,
braless under silk shirts
and greet you at the door
with a new fantasy every night
to be lived out on our
spotless but remarkably
warm and comfortable kitchen floor.
You were hoping
I would have
a fabulously successful career
and make piles of money,
demolishing the glass ceiling
so you could shine with
benevolent pride at my being
the Mrs. in front of your name.
You were hoping
I'd step into a phone booth
and rip off my clothes,
emerging Superwoman
in a cone titted spandex
not-too-skimpy suit,
your very image of
wife, mother, housekeeper,
sexkitten, moneymaker,
effortlessly juggling with
a lipstick smile on my
never harried face.
You seemed to forget
Superman was fiction,
a movie fantasy by, for,
and about men and no one
would ever make a movie
depicting the Superwoman
you hope for.
It would be
too insulting
and might cause us
once and for all
to rise up
and say

A Message from our District Director
Just want to take a few minutes and introduce myself to the members of District 12 that may not know me. My Name is John Crouch and I am your newly elected District 12 Director. Any questions you have for me, you can contact me thru my email email@example.com
We just had our first District 12 meeting on January 15th. We went over the race schedule and made one change in our district class rules.
The rule change was to the D12 Stock Gas Class. We decided to follow IMPBA rules so the D12 Stock Gas will be replaced with the Super Sport class. The only hull allowed is a mono and you have to use a stock Zenoah 260 engine. Tuned pipes are allowed and you must use either a stock, unmodified WT-257 or 644 carb. EZ starts are okay if you like. Other than that, the motor stays as it comes out of the box. See the IMPBA rules for the Super Sport class online on the IMPBA website for full details about the class.
No other classes were added or deleted from last year so we will be running all the same ones that were run last year. We just changed D12 Stock Gas to Super Sport. We have come up with a 3 boat minimum per race and 15 entry minimum per season for any class to be eligible for an award at the end of the year. We will be doing plaques for each class at the end of the year for each winner of district points for each class.
Race dates for District 12 are:
April 28-30th Baltimore club race #1 at Fort Ritchie., Cascade, MD
May 19-21 Delmarva Model boat club Butch Fields Gas Clash National race, Queenstown MD
June 2-4 Delmarva model boat club Dist race #2 Queenstown, Md
June 28-July 1st ODMBA hosting the IMPBA Gas Nats, Smithfield, VA
July 28-30 Delmarva Model Boat Club Dist race #3 Queenstown, MD
August 25-27 Capital Model boat club Dist race #4 Centerville, VA
Sept 22-24 Baltimore Model Boat Club Dist race #5 Fort Ritchie pond, Cascade, MD
Looking forward to serving all of you as your District Director and hope to see all of you at the races!!
I would also like to take a
moment to thank our past District Director, Don Feretti, for all of
his hard work over the years he held this
John Crouch, Dist 12 Director
December 2015
Here is a list of the topics discussed and decided upon at the E-meeting
held by club and district officers in December 2015.
Host clubs are no longer required to have a left turn in the Offshore Class at district races. Some find the left hand turn hazardous so clubs can now leave it out at their discretion.
The combined Nitro/FE class B/P-Limited Hydro will now become B/P Hydro. FE racers can now run any motor or ESC in that class. This will help keep the class count down.
Sport 20/P-Limited Sport Hydro and B/P-Limited Tunnel classe will remain unchanged. These combined classes run well together and we agreed to leave them unchanged.
P-Limited classes will now allow open ESC's rated at 120 amps or less. Motors must still be chosen from the approved list. We have found no significant problems with the controllers previoulsy being used but the majority of FE racers in the limited classes want freedom of choice. We don't anticipate any increase of performance.
The Balitmore club requested we offer a D Hydro Class at all district races for 2016.
2016 District race schedule approved by the district director.
November 2014
Here is a list of the topics discussed and decided upon at the E-meeting
held by club and district officers in late October 2014.
We reviewed all the Nitro and FE combined classes individually and decided if any changes needed to be made. Though not optimal, most everyone is happy with the way the combined classes are going. There will be no changes to the Sport 40 / Q Sport Hydro, B / P Mono or any of the B / P-Limited classes.
Nitro/FE 1/8th Scale will be split into separate classes. If one class does not have enough entries, it will not run.
If Open Cat is offered at a District race it will be restricted to Nitro and FE boats only. Gas Cats will no longer be allowed in the class.
D12 Stock Gas will be restricted to Monos and Cats only. Sport Hydro's are no longer allowed in the class.
Open Tunnel has been removed from the District Class list due to lack of participation.
Some members of the Baltimore club have an interest in starting a P Hydro class in the district and invite anyone interested to get a boat ready for next year. This class would allow any Hydro (Rigger, Sport Hydro,Cat and Tunnel) to run on 4S Power with no mAh Limit and any Motor/ESC combination.
The district decided to award the class champions baseball caps this year to keep costs down and hopefully prevent a entry fee increase in the future.
There will be a Spring Meeting District meeting to present awards to district class champions and as an open forum to all district members.

Unless you have been under a rock for the past couple of years, you know what a big deal rose gold everything is.
So, it's no surprise that we've found you the perfect shades to match with all your pretty pink and rose gold attire.
Wear with an entirely rose gold ensemble or add to an otherwise monotone look for a pop of luxe glam.
Full on Barbie girl glam, and bling for days, pink on pink with accents of rose gold, with the only contrast coming from the dark plum lips.
Here's how to put this look together: Start with 1 bodycon pencil skirt in a pale rose tone, and add a slightly brighter shade of pink with a basic three quarter sleeve top; tuck it in to emphasize your waist.
A shag jacket in dark rose is great for Autumn chills; drape it over your shoulders for more effortless glam points.
Minimalistic strappy heels in nude or pale pink, and accessories in rose gold; super bling round earrings, mirrored in these Chopard shades with their own round bling details.
There's nothing quite like a co-ord to make you look put together with very little effort.
Think high waisted military inspired button detail satin shorts, a matching bone detail crop top, and a long line blazer or trench inspired piece, all in rose shades.
Keep accessories minimalistic here, dainty jewelry, and a pair of classic round sunnies like the ones below are all you need.
Bring some rose gold femininity into an otherwise rocker look with a pair of cat eye sunglasses.
A great outfit for day to day or running errands, dark wash jeans, a basic black tank top, a zipper details leather biker jacket, and a high pony tail to keep the look sleek and effortless.
Pair with embroidery or cut out detail black ankle boots, and the tortoiseshell beauties seen here.
Lace up heels, skinny jeans in white or even light wash jeans, and a faux fur trim long line jacket to keep those Autumn winds at bay.
A Bardot scalloped top with lace detail or a floral print, a velvet choker, and rounded square rosy sunnies add to your casual chic appearance.
While beach wear and pool party attire are not on our minds as the leaves start to fall, keep this outfit in mind for any holiday or winter getaways you have planned, or use it as your motivation for next year's beach bod.
A light knit, rose gold metallic high slit dress, is not only a glam cover up over a simple black bikini or one piece, but a great party dress.
If you find the high slits intimidating, pair with shorts.
Strappy metallic sandals and club master reminiscent rose gold sunnies (to protect your peepers from the rays) are the only accessories you'll need.
The inflatable metallic flamingo is optional yet highly recommended.

|Guacamole Hostas grow so well in the shade!
It was a race free weekend for me. It is a shame because the weather Saturday morning was IDEAL. The closest race was 80 miles away and it just wasn't worth the drive. I did go out for a 5 mile progression run that I felt really good about. The afternoon was spent getting some things finally accomplished in the back yard.
|A refreshing color of blue!
PoPo and I attended a casual outdoor cocktail party Saturday evening and I'll admit that a slow 6 mile run was about all I could handle Sunday morning {too much fun - wink wink}. It was already near 80 degrees when I started out so I kept mostly to the path in our shady neighborhood park. However, there was a gnat reunion in progress and I came home covered in them. I'm sure I inhaled my share as well. Too bad you can't absorb protein through your lungs!
|Sweet Potato vines make beautiful pots or baskets.
My marathon training (yikes and yippee) will not start for a while. My plan is to not do anything crazy, no extra long runs. This month I will focus on getting rested, healthy and finding good strengthening exercises -- especially for my hips. {Darn you, old lady hip pain.} I do have a couple of local, short-distance races on the May calendar.
|If you lay on our deck, this is what you see.
I'm still very much aware of Buford (my blister) but thankfully he is not nearly as painful (oh look, another P word). There is so much damaged skin that has still got to come off. Hurry up and go away!

Q: I am trying to be the best parent I can. I already breastfeed, avoid eating things myself that might affect the baby. . . Will your advice help? A: YES. .
. Watching what we eat is only part of the issue. My wife takes in over 300 different nutrients a day and sometimes that still isn't enough. But here are some tips. . . Usually a manufacturer won't announce that the competition's product is a better choice.
But when the competition is breast milk, infant formula manufacturers concede -- right on the label -- that breast milk is best. Human breast milk is the ideal nourishment for human babies. Its protein content particularly suited for a baby's metabolism, and the fat content is more easily absorbed and digested. Breast milk also protects the infants against certain diseases, infections and allergies. A mother's milk contain cells from her immune system and antibodies against diseases to which she has been exposed. Animals do not have human cells to offer the newborn and synthetic milk products do not either. For example, if a mother catches the flu, she develops antibodies to that strain of flu virus.
The baby will get protection and probably not get the flu at all if she breast feeds. We are of course assuming the mother is eating healthy foods and not junk foods which the baby also is inadvertently subjected to. The composition of infant formula is similar to breast milk, but it isn't a perfect match. Further, the exact chemical makeup of breast milk is still unknown. We're always discovering things in human milk that ar there in small quantities that hadn't been looked at before. Infant formula is close to breast milk, by carbohydrate, protein and fat content, but not what the sources from a healthy mother provides. More than half the calories in breast milk come from fat, and the same is true for today's infant formulas.
This may be alarming to many American adults watching their intake of fat and cholesterol, especially when high saturated fats, such as coconut oil are used in formulas. While the low-fat diets recommended for adults doesn't apply to infants, the rule of where you get your nutrients from still applies. Formulas based on whole cow's milk don't meet all of an infant's vitamin and mineral needs. In addition, the high protein content of cow's milk puts a strain on the baby's immature kidneys. Use of soy drinks (that normally contain GMO-Soy) can actually be life-threatening. While infant formulas are the most heavily regulated food that there is, FDA regulations only specify exact nutrient level requirements for infant formulas, based on recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition. The following must be included in all formulas: Protein, fat, linoleic acid, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin B, vitamin B12, niacin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper, iodine, sodium, potassium, and chloride.
Notice there aren't human enzymes or other healthy things only a mother can supply in that list.

text: Hi, GRPlatform has two methods: filesIn:aPathString and directoriesIn:aPathString. They return the absolute paths of the contained files. However I do not see any (portable) way to know the image directory. I think it is sometimes needed, for example: GRPlatform current directoriesIn: 'bootstrap' (where bootstrap is a directory next to my Pharo image). Gives me all the absolute path of the directories lying in <image directory>/bootstrap How can I get the relative path of these directories compared to the 'bootstrap' directory? Cheers, Francois

"Don't Tempt Me is a sweet, fast read about finding family, love, and more! You can't go wrong with this book! It's a must read!"—Night Owl Reviews
"Best friends find hunky men and everlasting love in Foster's latest charmer."—Publishers Weekly
Love comes along when it's least wanted
Jason Guthrie has no time for entanglements—between helping out his widowed brother and teenage nephew and getting his hometown back on its feet, his days are spoken for. But his nights are another story… And when his lovely new neighbor, Honor Brown, reluctantly accepts his help in remodeling her house, Jason finds himself wishing his handyman skills could knock down the defenses she keeps building around herself.
Martial arts teacher Sullivan Dean knows real danger when he sees it—even when it takes the form of the gorgeous blonde helping her friend move in across the street. After putting his wayward past behind him to focus on teaching control to troubled kids, Sullivan has learned to avoid party girls like Lexie Perkins. But Sullivan can't seem to keep his hands off the real woman behind that flirty charm—or keep his heart from landing at her feet…

When Honor is moving into her new house…ok, maybe call it a "fixer-upper"…she didn't expect Jason Guthrie to greet her with no shirt on. Does the man ever wear a shirt? Jason feels obligated to help Honor since she seems in over her head with the repairs and yardwork the house next door needs. But Honor wants no help from Jason or his brothers while Jason really doesn't want any entanglements himself. Meanwhile, Honors best friend Lexie is a flirty, party girl. When she meets Sullivan, another neighbor, can she prove that she's more than just a fun time? And will Honor learn that everyone needs help once in a while and that's ok?
"The sun highlighted the cut of his cheekbones, the straight line of his nose and across those sleek, hard shoulders. Why didn't he put on a shirt? She couldn't quite keep her gaze from his chest, noting he had just the right amount of dark chest hair going from one well-defined pec to the other, then bisecting downward…"
When I started this new series, I realized this one was a little different than the ones I've read in the past. It features two couples – one woman learning to rely on others when she needs help and the other wanting to prove she's a caring person worthy of real love. This was a really good story about friendship and family. I loved how close the Guthrie brothers were and the sense of community in the neighborhood. Although it was a little confusing, going back and forth between the two couples' storylines, I did enjoy the book and would like to read more about the Guthrie brothers and the neighborhood.
Proud of herself for coming up with such a great scheme, Lexie arrived a few minutes before Honor should be there. AS soon as she pulled up, she spotted Jason in the garage, hammering away on something that looked like a small house.
Honor deserved a nice but hunky guy, someone to pay attention to her, lighten her load a little and make her feel as special as Lexie knew her to be. Jason, with his simmering gaze and hot bod, seemed like a great candidate. From what Lexie had seen so far, the chemistry was strong. Enough sparks had bounced between them to start a forest fire.
With the top up on her convertible, she circled to the back passenger door. When she opened it, the stems of the large bird-of-paradise plant flopped out. Getting the thing in there had taken two men from the garden center and some creative stuffing.
Pushing her sunglasses to the top of her head, Lexie put on her best helpless face, glanced around, then zeroed in on Jason—willing him to look up.
"Excuse me."
Startled, she followed the sound of that smooth, deep voice and found herself staring into incredible cobalt-blue eyes…
…in a stop-your-heart handsome face.
…with an oh-my-God physique.
Done with her up, down and sideways analysis of his fine self, she smiled. "Hi there."
Dressed in loose athletic pants, running shoes and a snugfitting T-shirt, he asked, "Did you need some help?"
She needed all kinds of things…
He nodded to the plant.
Forgetting all about Jason and her plan, Lexie quickly agreed. "Yes. Please. Thank you."
His polite expression never faltered—unlike her pulse.
Inhaling, Lexie looked him over again. Straight black hair, neatly trimmed but not overly styled. A firm mouth, strong jaw and those incendiary eyes. A lean, tall, finely honed body. "Where did you come from?"
"I live across the street."
He could've said heaven and she would have believed him.
Wearing a quizzical frown, he glanced at Honor's house. "I take it you're my new neighbor?"
Oh, she wished. It'd be worth giving up her very nice downtown apartment overlooking the river. The views around Honor's house were definitely better.
"My best friend is, actually." Belatedly she held out a hand. "I'm Lexie Perkins."
"Sullivan Dean." He carefully took her hand, his touch gentle and somehow more familiar because of it. "It's nice to meet you, Lexie."
Liking the sound of her name on his lips, she tried to hold on to him, but other than a long look, he didn't play along. Bummer.
From behind her, Jason said, "Hey, Lexie."
She turned—and couldn't help looking Jason over, too. Honor had struck gold with her location.
And to think she'd once considered the neighborhood old and stuffy.

Mr. and Mrs. Moody often had guests in their Chicago home. One evening, after a very demanding day, Moody asked a visiting Christian to lead in family devotions. The man waxed eloquent as he expounded the symbolism in a difficult chapter of the Bible. Then he prayed at great length. When the worship was over, Mrs. Moody and the guest got up from their knees, but Moody remained bowed in prayer. The guest thought that he was praying, but Mrs. Moody soon detected that her husband was--asleep!
Matthew 6:5-7, when you pray do not pray like hypocrites and when you pray do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.
Last week we talked about Praying Persistently this week we are going to continue talking about the difference in praying "persistently verses repetitive". This week's message is titles "How not to Pray". I pray you will join me as we continue our messages on prayer.
Prayer needs: Mike Collier (kidney stone), Karen Frye (death of her sister), Patti Richards (illness of her father), people traveling, Frank Healer,
Wow, March is nearly over, Spring officially begins soon, daylight savings time is here and Easter will be here before we know it!
This year we will have the Egg-Hunt on Easter Sunday morning for our children. We need you to bring filled eggs please, there is a basket in the office to drop off your filled eggs, thanks.
Mark 11:25
25 "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
1 Peter 3:7
7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
The story goes that one time when Bill Moyers was a special assistant to President Lyndon B. Johnson. He was asked to say grace before a meal in the family quarters of the White House. As Moyers began praying softly, the President interrupted him with "Speak up, Bill! Speak up!" The former Baptist minister from east Texas stopped in mid-sentence and without looking up replied steadily, "I wasn't addressing you, Mr. President."
How is your prayer life?
See you Sunday, join me as we continue to seek to grow in our prayer life!
Your pastor and friend

Why are you bald, Patti?
Dear Patti,
Why are you bald?
From, Chloe C.
Dear Chloe,
That's a great question! It's a good thing that I'm not sensitive about my baldness. If you've been to Chimps Inc. to meet me and my friends, you'll know that all of us look very different. Topo has a large, projecting snout, Jackson has a round belly and lanky limbs, Emma has tufts of hair that stand tall on her shoulders, CJ has grey hair all around her mouth, and Herbie is muscular with long skinny fingers. My sister Thiele isn't bald, she's just a really big chimp. We all look different just like you look different from your brother, sister, cousin or friend. Besides, being the only chimp with a bald head does have its perks. It helps people to tell me apart from the others, so I am usually the first one that new volunteers and interns can recognize. This means I get to make new human friends a lot sooner than the other chimps. It's also nice to have less hair on my head – it keeps me cool on hot summer days.

Build Relationships Now To Reap Benefits All Year
It's nearing the end of the first month of the last quarter of the year – which means the next 2 months should be focused on getting your business ready for next year. Let's face it – there are a lot of holidays coming up and people check out this time of year.
But that doesn't mean you get off the hook with being strategic about your business. Over the last 10 months, you've worked on relationships in your business: with clients, with affiliate and joint venture partners, with influencers, with vendors… all of these relationships help your business grow.
And now is the perfect time to give those relationships a kick in the pants moving into next year. You have a built-in excuse to reach out and connect with people on a personal level that you don't get at any other time of the year.
Yes, I'm talking about "the holidays."
Now, I'm not talking about heading to Neiman Marcus and buying all of your customers a sweater. But I am saying that a little bit of thought and effort can go a long way to bringing you closer to people who can help you succeed. (And, of course, spreading a little joy is the name of the game this time of year!)
So here are some rules for this:
1. Keep It Personal
A handwritten note will go a long way, especially in the age where everyone is sending e-cards. (Protip: Don't send an e-card.)
If you're going to choose a gift or card for someone, make it personal. Sending the same ol' pre-printed generic company Christmas card to everyone on your list sure might be easy, but it doesn't have the oomph behind it that a personal note with a thoughtful box of treats does.
2. Keep It Simple
It can be really tempting to take what I said in #1 and spend the next 2 months scouring the globe for the perfect gift for each of your clients. But that's not the best use of your time and won't bring you the ROI on your time. If you're going to send a gift to a segment of your list, choose something that's widely appreciated and send the same thing to everyone on that list. Business books, chocolates or cookies, or a nice mug with tea makes a great gift that everyone is sure to be thankful for.
3. Keep It A Gift
This is not the opportunity for self-promotion here! If you've written a book, this is not the time to up your sales numbers by purchasing one for everyone you've ever met and sending it as a "gift." This is not the time to send a coffee mug emblazoned with nothing but your corporate logo (who else sends these straight to the Goodwill when the mug cupboard gets full?). This is the time to choose something thoughtful and decidedly non self-promoy.
4. Keep It Segmented
Just like you don't spend the same amount of money on everyone you see at Holiday parties (your kids get a MUCH bigger budget than Great-Aunt Erma that you've only ever seen once a year at the family party, don't they?), different relationships within your business warrant a different level of spending and forethought.
Don't feel like you have to spend the same amount of money on everyone on your list. It's totally okay to assess the relationship and decide what your best course of action is.
After all, assessing the relationships and choosing which ones you want to take into 2017 is the point of this exercise – even though you'll be spreading joy while you do it. 🙂

As adults we look back at our teen years, sometimes with affectionate nostalgia and other times with horror, depending on the experiences that we had. Our teen years are more than just a memory; this is the time when our adult persona starts developing. Our experiences as teens can have long-term effects on our life and our relationships as adults. In some cases, to have a better understanding about the people that we have become and our choices in life, we need to go down memory lane and reflect back on our life as teens. In this interview, teen life coach Sheri Gazitt talks about how relationship patterns that teen girls experience, affect their relationship choices as adults, and how mothers could help guide their daughters to have healthier and more satisfying relationships.
Sheri Gazitt is a parent and teen educator who delves into difficult topics that parents and teens face every day, such as: beauty, perfection, decision-making, stress, and bullying. She has been a guest on Q13, Chat with Women, Disney Radio, and The News Chick, and has been quoted in Parent Map and school publications. Among those she has advised are delegates from the World Council, Seattle University, Boys and Girls Clubs, Seattle Storm, Girl Scouts, and numerous PTAs. Prior to establishing her own company, she worked as the GoGirlGo! Director for the Women's Sports Foundation. Her early career was spent in the research field within Neurology and Neuropsychology departments. The combination of her professional experiences and her personal life gives her a unique perspective on the teen world. She has three daughters of her own spanning high school and college. All of them act as consultants and give their stamp of approval on content.
How do relationship-patterns women experience as teens affect their future relationships?
Many of our patterns develop during our teen years. This is because it is the time when teens are figuring out who they are and how they relate to the world. If girls experience unhealthy relationships during their teen years, whether it's with a friend, boyfriend, or parent, that can be reflected in their romantic relationships later in life. For girls who experience unhealthy or abusive friendships as a teen, this opens the door for future abusive relationships.
What recommendations would you offer teenage girls to help them have more healthy and satisfying relationships?
For teen girls who are dating, it's important that their dating life is balanced with their friendship life. They need to continue to hang out with friends and have fun without their boyfriend/girlfriend. Also, they need to make sure that they aren't looking to their romantic partner to make them feel better about themselves or to fill a hole in their lives. Happiness comes from our own inner voices not from those around us. And keep in mind that dating should be fun and exciting when you are a teenager.
Also, teen girls need to realize that when they have sex with someone, it increases their emotional connection. This is primarily true for girls not boys. Women have a different chemical reaction to sex than men. So sex should come after a friendship and an emotional bond is formed, not before.
Let's talk about a girl's relationship with herself. What are the most common issues teen girls are bothered with today, and what advice do you have for them?
Teen girls are very hard on themselves much like moms these days. They want to do it all and be the best at everything. Many girls are striving not for betterment or excellence but for perfection. And expecting perfection can really hold you back and cause so much anxiety and stress.
I tell both teen girls and their mothers, when you make mistakes, learn from them and move one. Don't beat yourself up about them.
My advice to girls would be to enjoy life. Find YOUR passion, do what makes YOU happy. When you find your passion you will flourish and find your own personal success. And with that, you will find happiness.
How would you advise mothers to help their daughters have healthy relationships?
We would all love it if our kids wouldn't date before 30, but that is not going to happen. Teach your daughters what is healthy in a relationship and what is not. Talk to them about how they deserve to be treated. Even before they start dating, start the conversations about your house rules on dating, what they want from a relationship, and the importance of setting boundaries in a relationship. You should also have the uncomfortable conversations about sex. It doesn't have to be one long conversation that covers everything, but have short and frequent conversations. The best way to start these conversations is to ask them questions. Let them steer the conversations by paying attention to their cues. If your daughter starts dating, it's extremely important to be attentive to how the relationship is progressing. Watch for signs of an unhealthy relationship such as possessive behavior, isolating behavior, and aggressive behavior. It's up to us as parents to guide our girls when they need to get out of a difficult relationship.
What can a mature woman learn from her teen years?
If a woman realizes that she is tough on herself, I would encourage her to reflect back on her middle school years. Many relationship patterns start during that time in friendships and romantic relationships. Consider what patterns are serving her well and which can be laid to rest once and for all. Just realizing the source of some habits can help to kick them to the curb.
What message would you like to give women?
I want girls and women of all ages to truly embrace who they are with all of their amazingness and all of their imperfections. Love yourself unconditionally. When you truly love yourself, the rest of your relationships will bloom.

It's (groan) Back to School time!
It's that time of year again and I have to say, I am not looking forward to it. I can't stand coming up with cold lunch ideas daily, dealing with the hustle and bustle that goes along with getting children out the door by a certain time, the millions of papers that he brings home, fundraising (it's hard for me to sell things I'm not interested in), and homework.
I have the child that has said almost since day one, "I don't like school!" Learning, Yes! School, No! And, with the education system the way it is now, I can't say I can blame him. School is not what it used to be. Kids have to take a placement test for kindergarten, I mean, how ridiculous is that?! He did fine on it, but nowadays if you haven't sent your child to preschool or homeschooled them, they may not be ready for kindergarten.
Children aren't given as much time for recess, gym, lunch or free time. The curriculum just keeps being added to and I feel bad for the teachers because they aren't allowed to be as creative because their reviews as educators are contingent upon the scores students receive on standardized testing. My son's first grade teacher once told me that she liked to take her students for a walk in the afternoon, especially during the fall and spring months, so the children could have a break and learn about nature, at the same time...she had to stop because social studies was added to the curriculum and she didn't have time for that anymore.
Anyway, my child is what one might call a kinesthetic learner. He learns best through "doing." So, for him having to sit in a chair for hours (literally, the children have multiple reading lessons for 2 1/2 hours) is torture. Needless to say, the principal and I are on a first name basis. Our current school system is a horrible fit for HIM. I say that in caps because it is not a horrible system, there are some great teachers, he goes to gym 3 times a week and music twice a week (our budget has been cut, but not as much as in other systems.) Private school is not an option at this time, nor is homeschool (been there, done that.)
So, today was the start of another year. I will continue to be optimistic, like always, that this time will be better and we won't trudge through another year. This year he's going into the 5th grade and its his last year of elementary school. I was excited and sad. The Boy is definitely growing up, as he should, but a part of me wishes I could keep that sweet little boy forever!
Do you look forward to back to school time? How do you prepare for it? How was the first day for your children?

Enjoyed your post, I can totally understand where you are coming from. Back to school time for me is actually very exciting and my son looks forward to it. He misses his friends and was looking forward to seeing what electives he would have this year. But in reality I think he just wanted summer to be over so he can start the football season,I knew there was a catch! He is now in the 7th grade,I think once they get to middle school its easier on the parents as far homework and all the paperwork. They become more independant which is bitter sweet.My son attends a technical academy grades 6-12, he does complain that his eyes get tired because everthing is computer based, thank goodness for P.E and music class!The good thing is the sooner school starts the sooner its over and pretty soon...voila!, they are in college. They grow so fast, this summer my son grew taller than me! A new school year represents growth, I embrace it!...But I feel you :o)ReplyDelete
Thanks! So far, our year is going well.ReplyDelete

Text © Richard Gary / Indie Horror Films, 2017
Images from the Internet
Directed by Peter Herro
Midnight Releasing / Cthulhu Productions
75 minutes, 2017
This film has just been released on VoD today (August 1, 2017), which makes sense since it's definitely summer fare. To sum it up and categorize it in a single descriptor that is to be further deconstructed, it's a cabin-in-the-woods-slasher flick.
In my humble opinion, what the twin-subgenres needs to be anywhere interesting, considering the umpteenth version of it, is some form of originality mixed into the formula. Right from the start, they begin well with an obvious nod to the godfather (godlessfather? godlessmother?) of all cabin in the woods films, The Evil Dead (1981). Got my attention, for shizzle (yeah, I'm that old). Not to mention the nudity in the first 30 seconds. Maybe a great start.
There is the mandatory – albeit brief – flashback bit, but there also seems to be a flashforward to the future piece at the beginning, as well. Ever more interesting.
As we get into the meat-and-gravy of the core story, we meet a couple of… I want to say overage college students? A pool party is raging, and we are introduced to the mostly male doofuses that are also obligatory, including the king of the cameos Shawn C. Phillips and (of all people) Perez Hilton. Is he still alive? A decade ago or so he was omnipresent. Now, well, this is the first time I've seen anything associated with him in a very long time. I don't have anything against or for him, just an interesting choice for a semi-celeb walk-on. Anyway, yeah, the guys are your typical genre skuzballs whose choice of topics are sex (here, one says, "You still haven't done anal? That's Jesus' favorite!"), being drunk, hitting on women (even Donnie, the gay character played by Hilton, hits on the "hot chick"), and drugs – in this case pot. A bit too cliché, methinks.
|Callie Ott
Some of the other cliché characters include The Stoner Jacob (Benjamin Norris, who is actually quite good in the role), the ambiguously and possibly gay Bevan (Adam Foster), and the Mean Girl, Lisa (Sarah Agor). Rachel's boyfriend Sam (Johnny James Fiore) joins in, just in case she has (in her own truly clever wording) "a spring breakdown." What could possibly go wrong, right? In total, the group includes four doods and three chicks (as opposed to four men and three women).
Even after the obligatory old guy at the gas station warns them to stay away, they go on ahead. If I were rich, I would love to just own a lone gas station in the middle of nowhere so when people ask for directions, I could say, "I'd turn back ifn ah wuz you." But I digress… Instead, they head on to the cabin where they continue to act like complete asses. When Rachel thanks them for being supportive, one guy responds with "Show us your tits!"
Now I have to say, for a cabin, this is certainly a huge step up from the rustic ones you usually see in these kinds of films. Perhaps it is a mile in the woods, with no Wi-Fi or hardly any phone signal, but it's huge, modern and has most of the amenities, having been owned by Jacob's uncle, before he…well….
About half way through the film, the gristle starts to fly as these dum-dums get picked off one by one. Now, I want to be clear, while I feel justified to be mocking these characters, I do not want to give the impression that this film is lacking for entertainment value. Rather, there is a lot going on, some of it amusingly self-reflexive of the genre, which is a good thing. For example, while a lot of the dialog is – pun intended – WTF, it has a nice snarky tone, and some lines that are definitely quotable, such as, "C'mon, my balls are like fuckin' Smurfs right now!" And if one were to make a drinking game of every time someone says, "Are you serious?!" in some form or another, you'd be plastered by the end.
What I get out of this is that rather than falling into merely formulaic characters, director Peter Herro is acknowledging the stereotypes that perpetuate this kind of film. What leads me to believe that is a number of things, such as two women having a pillow fight at a motel (seen through the window during a pan shot), and one character doing that added vowel at the end of sentences when annoyed, such as "You should dump him-muh!" and "I don't know-wah!"
Then again, this is the director's first film, so perhaps he's being careful, rather than striking out with too much originality, i.e., playing it a bit on the safe side? I'm hoping to find out at some point. If there is any real flaw to the film, specifically the script, it's that there is way too much talking during the first half of the film, especially before the killing starts. Parts of the party scene at the very beginning were painful in their over-sexualized tones. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the nudity, it's the constant hitting on by the men and the relentless ridiculing by the women. It goes beyond stereotype into drooling. But that's easily solved with script editing in the next film; I'm hoping there is more for the director as this shows a large promise of things to come.
The acting is quite well done, especially Ott and Norris (as I said earlier), though everyone hits the mark with a decent reading and timing. The picture certainly looks great, with some sharp photography and editing. The gore is not abundant, and doesn't need to be, but more important is that it looks good.
As for the ending, yeah, I figured it out pretty quickly, though there was a specific twist I did not see until near the end. Actually both guessing correctly and not getting it made me happy. Be sure to stick around for the credits and follow the art, as it continues the story.
Lastly, and this is my own snarky humor that's neither here nor there, and it's meant for a laugh, shouldn't it be WTF? rather than WTF! If it were me, I'd take the easy way out with WTF?!
If you're a slasher fan, I sincerely believe that you won't be disappointed. There is just enough humor and tension – and even at least one jump scare – that make a viewing worth seeking out.

England's ten most gifted footballers of the last 50 years: Number 3, Paul Scholes
Where to begin? The evidence is still on show week after week, and has been now for almost 20 years. If you are a gifted footballer and wish to prove it, then being a mainstay for the most successful club side in the country for almost two decades, seeing any number of upstarts come and go in your time, is as good an indication as any, and Scholes has experienced everything in the club game there is to experience. Initially a centre forward and always a fearless finisher, he quickly became a cool, measured, ruthless attacking midfielder, who could and can place passes on an instep from the middle of the park to either flank, or make room for himself where there apparently is none to thread divine low balls into the path of many gratefully prolific goalscorers. His first touch has always been immaculate - witness how extraordinary his volleying ability is - and his absolute reliability (rarely do you see him play badly) means he has had at least two entire Manchester United midfields built around him while the world's greatest players queued up to laud his abilities. His England career was curtailed by his misuse on the left flank, prompting this quiet homeboy to sack it all off at the age of not yet 30, and his tackling is notoriously suspect, but nobody of the modern era of English football has been more influential or more praiseworthy.
Two to go...
