Cowboy Way Church pastor accused of molesting boy in 2000
The pastor of the Cowboy Way Church in Alvarado was charged Tuesday with indecency with a child on accusations that he molested a teen boy several years ago while he was pastor at another church.
Dan Haby Jr., 51, was arrested at his Alvarado home by Fort Worth fugitive officers Friday afternoon on two arrest warrants accusing him of indecency with a child by sexual contact. He was later released from jail after posting $30,000 bail.
Leigh Williams, children's pastor at Cowboy Way Church, said Tuesday afternoon that Haby would love to comment but was advised to let his attorney, Daniel Hernandez, handle questions about the case. She said she also could not comment on Haby's current status with the church in light of his arrest.
"At the advice of the attorney, I can't comment, unfortunately," Wiilliams said. "There's lots that I would like to say, but I'm going under what the attorney has advised us to do."
Hernandez has not returned a phone message left at his office.
Fort Worth police began investigating the pastor last month after the alleged victim, now an adult, reported that he had been sexually assaulted by the pastor in 2000 and 2001, beginning at age 15, according to Sgt. Raymond Bush, a police spokesman.
Haby previously pastored the Stockyards Community Church, a now-defunct church that he began in 2000.
He has been lead elder and lead pastor of the Cowboy Way Church since its inception in 2005, according to the church's website.
He is a former professional rodeo cowboy who has a master of divinity degree and a master of arts in religious education from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has been involved in various ministries since 1985, according to the church website.
His wife of eight years, Melanie Haby, is co-pastor and worship elder for the church.
He was reportedly absent from church Sunday but is continuing to post messages on the church's Facebook page.
"Nowadays, don't waste your time with people who are there just to tear you down. It's time to start surrounding yourself with people who will build you up and be glad that you are doing good. So start building an uplifting team around you today! Live, Love and Serve God! Blessings, Pastor Dan," he wrote Monday.
A comment by a parishioner tells the pastor "I hope you feel better," indicating the pastor has been recently sick.
"I was able to get him to eat a little bit of soup last night, so hopefully he's on the upswing," his wife, the page's administrator, commented Monday on the page.

text: #5 - Finding that Compelling Story to Write About! - Part Two! Jan. 11, 2017 So last time we talked about using your life to find a compelling story to write about.But what do you do if you don't have a compelling story from your life that you can pull from?WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT!We have a play performing this week at Manhattan Rep, as part of our Winter Spectacular Series, which is awesome!It is called The Prodigy by Rick Apicella. It is a one man show about a boxing trainer who comes upon a young boxer called The Prodigy who doesn't really talk. It delves deep into the boxing subculture and Rick plays multiple roles with a passion and a specificity I have not seen in years. The show is truly wonderful because of Rick's acting work, AND also because of his story.I asked Rick after I first saw his show how he came up with this fascinating tale. He said that he has always been passionate about boxing and he followed it for years. He watched and read everything he could find about it, and absolutely just loved the Boxing "World." When he decided to write a play, because he knew this world so well and loved it with such a fervor, he knew it had to be a boxing play. And the results speak for themselves. The Prodigy is a fantastic, compelling play with awesome acting.So what are you passionate about? Do you love crime drama? Or romantic comedies? Do you love the 1950's? Or Roller Derby? Or Mickie D's?What do you LOVE and what could be a compelling story about this thing that you love?I love old horror movies from the 1940's and 1950's. I just love them! Something about those movies really resonates with me (and I just love how the women of the 1940's and 1950's speak especially in those old movies. "Darling, what do you think we should do today?")When we first opened our theatre in 2005, I let my passion for old horror movies create one of my most interesting plays. I was always fascinated by the old horror movies so I decided to write a piece about them. And I wrote it really fast for I knew that universe well. My play was called TALES OF TERROR. It consisted of short plays "messing with" classic horror stories. We had the story of the man who had his hand cut off and then had a serial killer's hand attached, (and you know what happens there.) We had the story of the Ventriloquist who's dummy was alive and became a murdering mannequin, and we had the classic story of the evil serial killer SANTA CLAWS and the tough detective that sought to bring this murderer to justice. Each play in this production was immersed in the 1940/50's universe, and each play "goofed" on these classic stories, but we never allowed the actors to be campy or even be self-aware that these stories were satirical. They played it straight and serious. And the production turned out awesome! Since then, we have produced it 5 times and it is always great fun.But the reason it was so successful was because I was so passionate about it and I LOVED the genre. So the writing soared out of me, and then in production when I directed it, we went hog wild with sound effects, dark moody lighting, music from the time and more.SO MUCH FUN!So WHAT are you passionate about? Start there to find and create that compelling story to write about! Ken WolfJanuary 11, 2017Comment Facebook0 Twitter LinkedIn0 StumbleUpon Reddit Tumblr 0 Likes

Aviation History
962 FLIGHT International, It December 1971 AIR TRANSPORT. .. adoption of such a scheme, said Mr Johnston, international groupings of the Eurocontrol type might be the best answer. Concerned that airlines should be able to earn a reason able rate of return and thus be well placed to finance further growth, R. S. Sowter, managing director of Airlease International Management, suggested to the meeting that fares might be too low. In real terms, he said, the air fare was at present "one of the world's best buys." "Air travel can be made to pay," said Mr Sowter, "and the successful airlines built up enormous retained earnings during 1962-69 which are now cushioning them against the temporary lean period. "But it all comes back to revenue and the rate for the job. ... It is surely quite ridiculous for governments to legislate fares at levels where the efficient operators cannot earn a decent return on investment." Mr Sowter's suggested solution was that lata ("I think it's a thundering good organisation") should be extended to include all airlines. Members would be categorised according to their operations—scheduled, charter and so forth. The scheme might make lata more unwieldly, he conceded, but "one body is surely better than the unco ordinated situation of today. . . . Only against a regulated fare structure can airlines become financially strong for •the re-equipment programmes which must lie ahead." Mr Sowter, surveying the manufacturing scene, described financing methods for aircraft production in a number of countries. Earnings of McDonnell Douglas, Boeing and Lockheed in 1970 as a percentage of sales had been 4-6, 0-6 and (loss) 3-4 respectively, he said. "I'm not sure what this tells us except that aerospace manufacturing is an awful lot of hard work for precious little financial gain." Looking at the world picture, Mr Sowter doubted whether a board of directors had any right to embark on a capital-intensive civil aircraft project in today's condi tions without predetermined government assistance. "All the retained earnings built up over the years, which belong to the shareholders," he said, "could disappear overnight with no trouble at all." Private risk capital, Mr Sowter concluded, should be provided for civil projects, but should be accompanied by government funding or provision of R&D through defence projects. Governments should further consider the provision of domestic funds for buying aircraft along the lines of shipping industry loans in Britain. Such finance was provided on certain terms in the USA. Among other speakers was Prof David Keith-Lucas of Cranfield Institute of Technology, who argued that despite the shortcomings of the cost-benefit analysis it was still the most helpful technique for navigating through the maze of conflicting considerations besetting the transport planner. The financing of research and development was the subject of a paper by David Sawers, Senior Economic Adviser, Department of Trade and Industry. A Nord 262 owned by Rousseau Aviation crashed on land ing at Lannion on December 5. Two of the three persons on board were killed. An An-24 of Tarom was destroyed on November 15 when it landed short of the runway at Bucharest in bad weather. There were no fatalities. A Friendship of Sudan Airways made a forced landing during a flight from Malakal to Juba on December 6 All the 37 passengers are reported safe. Clarkair International is to act as Cathay Pacific Airways' broker on the Baltic Exchange in London. Clarkair has a number of offices in the Far East and Australasia. International Aeradio has introduced a limited number of area charts with contour shading. Certain charts have been available to special order but the Zurich Area chart, of which a part is shown, is the first to be given a wide distribution. The charts are printed in black and white Thai Airways has ordered two HS.748s, bringing its fleet of the type to nine. Total orders for the 748 stand at 254, of which 200 are export sales. Martinair Holland is introducing a new livery for its air craft, incorporating an orange cheat line and stylised letter "M" on the fin. The initials MAC (for Martins Air Charter) will disappear. Eastern Airlines in November achieved its highest load factor—52 • 5 per cent—for four years. Traffic in the month was 7-2 per cent up on November 1970. In common with other US domestic carriers, Eastern's traffic so far this year has shown only marginal growth, but there are signs of improvement latterly. Inter-airline co-operation in the fields of ground handling, cabin services, freight and "fly/drive" facilities was discussed at a meeting of the European Airlines' Research Bureau in Amsterdam on December 12. The meeting heard reports of panels set up by EARB to study co-operative measures. British Midland Airways' summer timetable shows new services (subject to traffic rights abroad) between East Midlands and Amsterdam, Brussels . and Frankfurt, and between Birmingham and Brussels and Frankfurt. BMA will also be competing with BEA between Birmingham and the Channel Islands. The airline will offer more than 500,000 scheduled seats from East Midlands, Birmingham and Coventry next year. Mexico and the Netherlands signed a new bilateral agree ment on December 6 giving a Mexican national airline landing rights at Schiphol. The new Mexico City- Amsterdam route will be covered probably by Aeronaves de Mexico. KLM keeps its Amsterdam-Mexico City route with intermediate stops in Canada and the United States, but has limitations on fifth-freedom rights.

The Partition Intervalometer: A Programmable Underwater Timer for Marking Accumulated Sediment Profiles Collected in Anderson Sediment Traps: Development, Operation, Testing Procedures, and Field Results
Open-File Report 2009-1101
By: Richard R. Rendigs, Roger Y. Anderson, Jingping Xu, Raymond E. Davis, and Emile M. Bergeron
- More information: USGS Index Page (html)
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
This manual illustrates the development of a programmable instrument designed to deploy a series of wafer-shaped discs (partitions) into the collection tube of a sediment trap in various aquatic environments. These hydrodynamically shaped discs are deployed at discrete time intervals from the Intervalometer and provide markers that delineate time intervals within the sediments that accumulate in the collection tube. The timer and mechanical system are lodged in an air-filled, water-tight pressure housing that is vertically hung within the confines of a cone-shaped sediment trap. The instrumentation has been operationally pressure tested to an equivalent water depth of approximately 1 km. Flaws discovered during extensive laboratory and pressure testing resulted in the implementation of several mechanical modifications (such as a redesign of the rotor and the discs) that improved the operation of the rotor assembly as well as the release of discs through the end cap. These results also identified a preferred azimuth placement of the rotor disc relative to the drop hole of the end cap. In the initial field trial, five sediment traps and coupled Intervalometers were attached to moored arrays and deployed at two sites off the coast of Southern California for approximately 8 months. Each of the instruments released 18 discs at the programmed 10 day intervals, except one unit, which experienced a malfunction after approximately 4 months. Most of the discs oriented in a near-horizontal position upon the surface of the sediment in the collection tubes. Sampling of the sediments for geochemical analyses was improved by these clearly defined markers, which indicated the changes in the flux and nature of sediments accumulated during the deployment period of each sediment trap.

During the months of September and October, the Wrangell Mountains Center is hosting a series of blog posts about raptors in partnership with the NEA and Copper River Valley's Big Read. This year's Big Read book is the Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett. So far we have explored raptors found in the Copper River Valley, falcons in particular, and what it is like to work with and rehabilitate raptors. This week we will take a deeper look into raptor migration and hear from Dr. Carol McIntyre, bird biologist for the National Park Service.
Migration is defined as the seasonal movement of animals from one region to another. Many, but not all, of diurnal raptors migrate in the spring and the fall. They spend summer nesting and raising young in Alaska and travel to warmer climates during the winter. Raptor migration is not completely understood and people like Carol are studying it today. Scientists are working to understand how many birds migrate through a given area, which may indicate their population size, as well as where those birds go, and what factors influence migration. Since the Copper River watershed covers an immense area in eastern interior Alaska, a substantial number of migratory birds, including raptors, travel through the region in spring and fall. Carol notes that the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, and the Copper River Valley, are home to one of the largest migratory bird flyways in Alaska and perhaps North America.
Raptor migration is an amazing event to witness: if you are in the right place on the right day you may be able to count hundreds of eagles and hawks flying overhead. Migrating diurnal raptors include Golden and Bald Eagles, Osprey, Northern Harriers, Sharp-shinned Hawks, Northern Goshawks, Red-tailed Hawks, Rough-legged Hawks, American Kestrels, Merlins, Peregrine Falcons, Gyrfalcons, and Swainson's Hawks. You can learn more about these birds on Hawkwatch's website.

Carol's recent work focuses on Golden Eagles. Tracking data for radio-tagged Golden Eagles indicate two broad Golden Eagle migration corridors in the Copper River Valley. One spanning the Mentasta Mountains south across the upper Copper River Valley to the northern slopes of the Wrangell Mountains; and a second spanning from the southern slopes of the Wrangell Mountains south across the Chitina River to the northern slopes of the Chugach. Carol said that they decided to count eagles in the Mentasta Mountains because she had data showing that many eagles from Denali travel through that region in the spring and fall, and that local birders had witnessed amazing numbers of eagles traveling though the area in early March. Carol and her husband spent their spring vacation in March 2014 traveling around the Mentasta Mountains by dog sled, camping out, and staying put for periods of time to count birds.
Carol McIntyre and her colleague at the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Stephen Lewis, recently published a study in the Journal of Raptor Research documenting large numbers of Golden Eagles migrating through the Mentasta Mountains in both spring and fall. In October 2014, during 39.5 hours of counting, they measured 1364 migrating eagles, as well as a number of other migrating raptors including 525 Rough-Legged Hawks.
McIntyre and Lewis note that there is not very much ecological and demographic information about most species of raptors nesting in interior and northern Alaska. Studies and counts, like the one just published, suggest that there are probably more migratory birds than previously thought. The paper notes that Alaska's migratory Golden Eagles cross many ecological and political boundaries during their annual cycle. As the landscape around us changes it is important to understand how populations of migrating birds are affected. Studies like this are the first step, but there is a lot more to be learned.
You can read the full article by McIntyre and Lewis in the Journal of Raptor Research here.
You can see raptors migrating through the Copper River Basin in the autumn when they are heading south from early September – late October, and in Spring from mid March – late May. Another great place to watch raptor migration is at Gunsight Mountain on the Glenn Highway.

Location: Savanna Bay, Virgin Gorda
Today was a crazy day! The weather wasn't so good, but we still made it fun! We had to go to Savanna Bay, and the ride there was wild. The boat was rocking everywhere, and we got soaked, but that was my favorite part of the day. Our day otherwise wasn't as crazy as that though. We woke up and ate a great breakfast that consisted of muffins and scrambled eggs. Then we started our journey. Halfway through we stopped for lunch, and the Vegas learned about scuba gear. Then we went on our way to Savannah Bay. When we got there, we learned how to put the anchors in the water properly. At this point, we were all freezing, so we got to go for a swim in the warm water. After that, we got to take showers on the boat. Now we are sitting together in the galley while some of us play cards, others cook dinner, and I am writing the blog. I like this time of day because we are all together and it's calm compared to how the rest of the day is.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the camp; I hope we will have more sun!

So, yeah, the title of this blog entry is a little misleading. I wasn't really at Origins today. I spent the day at the store. It was a nice break from the con, and it's been a nice day at the shop. Lots of new faces came in today (as most of the familiar faces are likely at Origins!).
Anywho, I still have two games that I wanted to talk about. The first is the return of a mega-popular property to the collectible card game format: Dragon Ball Z!
Bandai will be releasing their new Dragon Ball CCG next month. I admit that have a soft spot for the work of Dragon Ball creator, Akira Toriyama (hey, we all have our guilty pleasures, right?). We are going to be carrying this new game which launches on July 18th. We are also planning on running tournaments and organized play.
Some of our current Pokemon players are also looking forward to this game, too! It looks to be a lot of fun! So, make sure you keep an eye on our website for more information on when the action will be starting at Alley Cat Games! Kame-hame-HA!
There was one other game that caught my eye at the show that I wanted to show you all. It's called Check Your 6! and it's from Skirmish Campaigns. CY6 is a series of air combat and campaign rules that launched last summer and is starting to come into its own. It's being picked up by the major distributors which should help this neat game find a wider audience.
In addition to the main ruleset, Skirmish Campaigns produces a series of Scenario Books such as the Battle of Britain, Guadacanal and Falcon of the Duce. They also make a series of Campaign Packs which include pre-painted miniature planes that attach magnetically to their bases. What a great idea!
I'd like to give this game a play and see how sound the rules are. It certainly looks interesting!
Lastly, I've been feeling a bit nostalgia lately. I was looking around the booth of Steve Jackson Games and got to thinking about their old O.G.R.E. rules from the late '70s. It was one of the first miniatures games I ever played (even though, back then, it was just cardboard counters) and loved it. Unfortunately the rules are no longer in print, but I was told that the rules will be coming back later this year as a PDF file, and that they are planning an O.G.R.E. boardgame in late 2008 as well.
So, while wandering the Miniatures Hall between running demos for FFG I found a group of folks playing a big ol' game of O.G.R.E!
Tomorrow morning it's back for one last round of Mutant Chronicles demos for Fantasy Flight. Come on by if you haven't already!

However, more recently we have reached a desperate financial situation. The ministry staff has faithfully cut and curbed costs, but even as expenses have dropped, so has our income. Many of the leadership have put in their own money to cover payroll, but that can only be done so many times. As a ministry it has always been our policy that we don't lay people off. Unfortunately, recently we have had to use this option as a way to keep the ministry running. Our staff has been resilient as we have had to lay off several employees, placing a greater work load on many that remain, as well cutting their salaries by 10%.
Bill Hamon, Another Transfer of Wealth Ministry Needs Your Transfer of Wealth (To Them) To Make It Through
Someone kindly directed me to this from 'Biship' Bill Hamon's site here, dated 11th May 2009. Bill Hamon is yet another one in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) who blatantly cannot manifest what he preaches, just like Steve Shultz, Chuck Pierce and C Peter Wagner preach and even hold conferences on release and transfer of wealth yet cannot manifest what they preach and prophesy either. Something is seriously amiss in prophet land. Why on earth won't the church wake up to it?
Bill Hamon says –
"Friday, February 6th I woke and felt the Lord quickened to me the story found in 2 Kings 3. In this chapter the three kings of Israel, Judah and Edom marched seven days into the desert, in a round about way, to attack Moab. They ran out of water and none was available where they were. Their provision for survival and continuing on was insufficient to meet their needs. They went to the prophet Elisha and he prophesied to dig long rows of ditches in the valley. The Prophet said God would fill the ditches with water. They would not see clouds or rain, but water would come. water of provision is coming so that we may survive and be enabled to destroy our enemies and reap the spoils of victory.
I know that many people are experiencing tough financial times and others are tightening their belts in preparation for what may come. However, I strongly believe that in this time, more than ever, we must not forget the principle of sowing and reaping. [endtimespropheticwords comment – working your way to Bill Hamon of course] Over and over scripture shows us that if we will give freely, rather than holding on, He will be more than faithful to bring the return. As a ministry we have continued to sow into other ministries even through this tough time. I encourage you to do the same.
Over the last year Christian International has faced some of the toughest financial times since we first moved to Florida 25 years ago. In the early days our staff was accustomed to possible short pay checks or even being asked to sow their salaries. Since we were such a close knit community we pulled together and made it through. Praise God it has been many years since those early days!
However, more recently we have reached a desperate financial situation. The ministry staff has faithfully cut and curbed costs, but even as expenses have dropped, so has our income. Many of the leadership have put in their own money to cover payroll, but that can only be done so many times. As a ministry it has always been our policy that we don't lay people off. Unfortunately, recently we have had to use this option as a way to keep the ministry running. Our staff has been resilient as we have had to lay off several employees, placing a greater work load on many that remain, as well cutting their salaries by 10%. For nearly two months our staff has done what would normally take them 80 hours in 72. Some have even chosen to sow the additional eight hours to make sure that their part of the vision was fulfilled.
In a situation like this, it is imperative to seek the Lord for direction. So that is exactly what the leadership gathered to do. We talked it over, sought the Lord, revisited prophetic words and decided that God is not telling us to stop or to back down. Then we began the process of trusting Him to bring the needed provision. [endtimes: by sending out begging letters]
If you have been with our ministry for any length of time you know it is not our nature to ask for money unless it is absolutely necessary. We have a great need and I encourage you to seek the Lord as to what extra you can give at this time. I know God will give you a hundred-fold return on your seed sown. [endtimes comment – pimp it, Bill! And if the seed sown really works this way, why doesn't Bill give out to you or some other worthy project and get a hundred fold return for himself? He'd never need to ask anyone for money ever again, would he?! But he doesn't as it doesn't work like that!]
In 1 Corinthians 3 Paul encouraged the church at Corinth that we all play a part in accomplishing the purpose of God in the earth. Verse 9 says, "We work together as partners who belong to God…" One plants the seed, another waters and another harvests. I am depending on God and you to make sure we continue to progress in fulfilling our ministry together in Christ. I look forward to hearing from you soon. [endtimes – as long as a check is enclosed in the envelope – bit presumptive too isn't it?!]
Yours in Christ,
Bishop Bill Hamon"
Maybe Bill Hamon needs to read his daughter-in-law Jane Hamon's book 'The Cyrus Decree' (or talk to her more?) and then call in some of his fellow apostles and prophets in to do some effective decreeing instead of ineffective screeing? Mind you, we all know what happened when the NAR elite decree'd at Lakeland when giving Todd Bentley the apostolic handshake and ring …
"Jane Hamon…. discusses the truths and the blessings she says have come in the earth through prophetic proclamations and apostolic decrees. She discusses the ministry of the prophets and apostles in the marketplace and in the pulpit. Jane references the kingship of Cyrus as the biblical basis for these proclamations and their impact on the earth.
In order to understand why Cyrus' call to deliver the people was so significant, it must be set in historical context. The Israelites were captive in Babylon in part because of the foolishness of Hezekiah. King Hezekiah was sick and Isaiah prophesied to him that he would die. Hezekiah petitioned God and God changed His mind and gave Hezekiah 15 more years to live. Once well, Hezekiah invited foreign visitors into his palace and bragged about all his wealth and possessions. The foreign visitors were from a little known place called Babylon. It took 100 years, but the Israelites were taken captive by these very foreigners and all they had was carried away to Babylon. But God never leaves His people without a means of deliverance and this time the deliverance would come through Cyrus.
Jane explains it this way. "Cyrus was anointed by the Lord for a season of dominion on the earth that would result in one of the greatest earthly kingdoms ever established. God's purpose in raising Cyrus up as king was to make him an instrument the Lord could use to release Israel from Babylon and to enable them to return to their land to rebuild what the emeny had destroyed." Jane says that Cyrus was a warrior by age 16 and that in the Church today, God is developing warriors to battle on the spiritual front. She says the trumpet is sounding and each saint is being called on to be ready for war because just like in the days of Cyrus, many, many people still live in slavery to sin and death. She says there are people to be delivered, cities to be freed, nations to be won and entire regions of the earth to be liberated by the reality of the gospel. But this current day warfare is not with guns or tanks or planes but the spiritual weapons of prayer, praise and proclamation. Jane says God is looking for those in the Body of Christ who will do as Cyrus did and be ready to take on the spirit and attitude of a warrior for these times.
Simply stated, The Cyrus Decree will release apostolic and prophetic keys to the 21st century Church to liberate captives, transfer wealth, revolutionize nations and build the Kingdom of God! [endtimes – don't these people listen when Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world?]
The Cyrus Decree releases Kingdom keys to empower the individual believer to release power through prophetic proclamations, unlock your wealth and your destiny, utilize your spiritual weapons of war, bring God's voice to the marketplace, build and restore God's Church, legislate God's Kingdom rule, set captives free, conquer idolatrous systems and transfer wealth for building the kingdom…"

NAIDOC Week in Bega celebrated with the Lyndon Wandarma team
Lyndon's Bega Team – Wandarma – participated in the NAIDOC week event held in Bega. The team enjoyed catching up with the mob and having a yarn at the Bega Indoor Sports Stadium on last Wednesday. Lyndon also had information on display about our services.
The following appeared in the Bega District News July 6, 2017
"Geebung Guran Djiringanj", is the newly rejuvenated Welcome to Country of the Djiringanj people of the Bega Valley.
It is the language from here, so it has to be taught to the community.
This year's NAIDOC Week theme is the importance, resilience and richness of Indigenous languages, and the teaching of local language in school's was seen as a necessary move by those at the Bega Indoor Sports Stadium on Wednesday.
For many people like Bega's Cameron Thomas the day was about reconnecting with family who had traveled from as far as Nowra for the day.
"It means a lot, because it brings all us mob together to have a yarn and see family we haven't seen in a while," he said.
Bega's Ron Thomas echoed his sentiment.
"It means a lot, because it's a gathering of the mob, all of us together," he said.
He said while this year's theme is language, it was one element distinctly missing from the region.
"That's one thing we don't have here is language, a lot of people don't know their own language," he said.
"It all comes back to the Stolen Generations, because before that people were speaking language.
"When they moved them to missions is when we lost it."
He said the local Djiringanj language should be taught in schools, as did Bega's Eric Carpenter.
"It is the language from here, so it has to be taught to the community," he said.
"The oldies have taught us, for me it all came through my aunty and uncle.
"The kids are starting to get the hang of it, and our slang goes all the way up the coast."
Former child star and Bidjigal man Vic Simms visited Bega on Wednesday to entertain the NAIDOC Week crowd.
"My grandmother was a Dixon, so I have a bloodline to this region," the 71-year-old said.
"I have a great connection to the land."
After being discovered as an 11-year-old by Col Joye, Mr Simms released his first single Yo-Yo Heart at 15, and went on to perform with the great Shirley Bassey.
"Today means a day of celebration, and a day of recognition," he said.
It was Mr Simms first trip to Bega since 1962.
If you or someone you know would benefit from using this service please contact Lyndon on 1300 596 366.

American journalist James Foley is just the latest in a string of non-combatant kidnappings, including Austin Tice and Mohamed Al Saeed, that have occurred in Syria within the last six months. Both rebel and regime soldiers are guilty of the abductions. The Syrian opposition has cut off many supply routes for government forces. Furthermore, the FSA has started receiving anti-aircraft weapons from anonymous sources. Though unchecked, many think Qatar is supplying the rebels with the heavy weapons. In addition Syrian opposition leaders meet in Doha to unite different anti-government militias under a moderate cleric, Mouaz Al Khatib, from Damascus. The violence in Syria is beginning to spill into Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan as random spats of gunfire proliferate many of the border crossings surrounding the conflicted nation.
Because of Deir Ez Zor's proximity to the oil fields, you don't have to go far to heist the lucrative liquid. However, the problem is that the fields and the refineries happen to be controlled, at this moment, by Assad's soldiers. They have a lot on their plate though, the Syrian government. The rebels have always had the man advantage, it's just that Assad has the air superiority. Odds are that they are spread thin at the oil field. Just thin enough, perhaps, for your crew to get in and get out without anyone getting hurt. You are in the back of a pickup truck with another women, three other men, and twelve plastic drum barrels that are bungee-corded onto the flatbed. Another truck with a similar setup follows closely behind as you silently cruise, headlights off, through the lonely desert. When you get to the first field the ring leader, Mahmed, clips a hole in the fence with wire-cutters, just big enough for you to squeeze through. You are the third one through the hole in the fence, but the first one caught in the group as the flood lights come on and the plethora of regime soldiers start to walk toward you, pointing their rifles at nothing but you face.

Some people are "score keepers" and others are not. I'm not. What I mean by this is that I am not very good at keeping track of all the specific things I've done, helped with, written, etc. - it's something about the way I'm wired (I also don't easily hold grudges, either, so there is an upside to not being a "score keeper").
However, this tendency can make it difficult when it's time to write a monthly status report / recap - I often find myself having a difficult time retracing my steps and creating a list of the things I've done for the past month, quarter, etc.
Archaeology is not easy
In the past when I sat down to hammer out a status report, I relied on my "Sent Items" in Outlook, a scan of completed items on my Task list, and other artifacts of my work. However, I often engage in things that aren't on my Task list, or don't involve email.
Recently, I've adopted a new technique (and am on my way to developing a new habit) that makes the bookkeeping a bit easier.
Note to self...
Now, when I do something significant (a phone conversation, a meeting, completing a project, making a significant contribution to a project, etc.) I send myself an email to create an artifact of that activity or milestone. I almost always have the means to send myself a note, either via my Blackberry or through Outlook.
When I process my Inbox, I file them in a time-labeled Status subfolder. For example, I do monthly status reports so I have folders under status called Apr07, May07, etc.
As I process my inbox, I can use ClearContext to file it by assigning "Status/Apr07" as the message's topic, or simply hit [Ctrl]+[Shift]+V, and typing "Apr07" and letting Speedfiler drop it into the appropriate folder.
Then, when I sit down to write my status report, I simply go to that folder and use the data there to complete my status report.
I can imagine variations on this theme that would be helpful, as well - you could create subfolders under Status for Projects, Clients, or other target audiences to help create an easy recap.
A nuance when dealing with support material
One subtelty about this is you sometimes have "support material" in your email inbox - do you file the support material in your Status folder, or do you just send a note?
As a die-hard GTD'er I favor leaving the support material in a Topic-based reference folder (Articles/Change Management), and sending yourself a note that you've completed something ("Completed article on Change Management for IT Auditor Magazine").
The hardest part
The hardest part of this (as with any system-based trick) is to develop the habit of sending these status notes. You can remind yourself by putting a calendar entry or a reminder into your system to say "Hey - did you do anything worthy of a status note today?"
Got any tricks that work for you? Let me know.

Steadily improving economic performance provides a valuable opportunity to mobilize financing for development, says UN report
South and South-West Asia remains fastest-growing subregion in Asia-Pacific, despite slowdown in 2017
New Delhi (ESCAP News) – Mobilizing financing for development remains a fundamental priority in the Asia-Pacific region. The robust growth registered by the region in 2017 and forecast to continue this year provides the opportunity to meet this objective, according to a major United Nations report launched in New Delhi today.
The report advises countries in the region to take advantage of the current favourable economic conditions to address vulnerabilities and enhance the resilience, inclusiveness and sustainability of their economies. Implementation of several policy initiatives will require mobilizing domestic public financial resources and leveraging private capital, the report noted.
Launched at an event organized jointly by the New Delhi-based ESCAP South and South-West Asia Office and the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), the annual Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific forecasts economic growth to moderate to 6 per cent in 2018 in South and South-West Asia (from 6.4 per cent in 2017), before picking up to 6.2 per cent in 2019. South and South-West Asia remains the fastest growing subregion in Asia-Pacific, according to the Survey.
A gradual recovery is foreseen in India, according to the report; with private investment being expected to revive as the corporate sector adjusts to GST, infrastructure spending and corporate and bank balance sheets improving with government support.
"Sustained and inclusive growth, and improved well-being in the Asia-Pacific region require concerted efforts to mobilize financial resources for development and dedicated steps to mainstream resource efficiency, social protection and environmental considerations into policymaking", said Dr. Rupa Chanda, Head, ESCAP South and South-West Asia Office, presenting the report's key findings.
The report points out that due to robust domestic demand and improved global economic prospects, developing economies in the Asia-Pacific region are projected to grow by 5.5 per cent in both 2018 and 2019, with a slight moderation in China offset by a recovery in India and steady performance in the rest of the region.
However, this diagnostic does not imply that there are no risks or challenges. Potential financial vulnerabilities, declining or low foreign exchange reserves in a few South Asian economies and uncertainty concerning trends in oil prices must be closely monitored.
To address these risks and challenges, monetary and financial policies should be focused on ensuring macroeconomic and financial stability and tackling systemic risks in the financial system through appropriate macroprudential measures. Fiscal policy should be focused on lifting productivity growth and reducing inequalities. In addition to budget reallocation in favour of development spending, governments should increase expenditure efficiency, ensure equal access to basic public services, and consider progressive taxation.
The Survey argues that lifting productivity will require a "whole-of-Government approach" for fostering science, technology and innovation and investments in relevant skills and infrastructure. Similarly, strengthening social protection and mainstreaming resource efficiency targets into national plans and budgets will help improve region's economic dynamism and prospects for sustainable development.
Participating in the launch as Chief Guest, Dr. Jaimini Bhagwati, Reserve Bank of India Chair Professor, ICRIER, noted that "the report is a timely reminder of the need for Asia-Pacific countries to maintain macroeconomic stability, along with effective macroprudential policies, in the face of possible headwinds of trade protectionism, interest rate hikes in the United States and the Eurozone and rising oil prices. Against this backdrop, countries should focus on providing an enabling environment to raise adequate financing and fuel sustained growth, while reducing inequality".
Strengthening tax revenues remains a high priority for several economies in the Asia-Pacific region, and this can be improved in several ways, according to the report. For instance, the Survey finds that the impact of better-quality tax administration on revenues is significant. A one-point increase in a new tax administration index, presented in the report, is associated with a tax revenue increase of 0.15 per cent of GDP.
It is estimated that if Asia-Pacific countries have the same tax administration efficiency than OECD countries, revenue impact could be as high as 8 per cent of GDP in such countries as Myanmar or Tajikistan; and about 3 to 4 per cent of GDP in larger countries, such as China, India or Indonesia.
Expanding the tax base by rationalizing foreign direct investment (FDI) tax incentives, introducing a carbon tax, and prudently increasing sovereign borrowings from financial markets while preserving debt sustainability, are other examples of policies that can be implemented to enhance public revenues and facilitate fiscal space commensurate with the investments necessary to achieve the 2030 Agenda.
"The assessment of ESCAP, as presented in this report, shows that the prospects for mobilizing financing for development purposes are promising", Dr. Chanda concluded.
The Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific is a flagship publication of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Every year, it discusses regional economic progress, provides cutting-edge analysis and guides policy discussion on current and emerging economic and social development issues to support sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

What's Your Definition of SUCCESS?
The definition of success is the attainment of riches, favour, or eminence, but success changes from person to person.
Some people aim to become millionaires in their life
some people are content with owning a house and working from 9-5
Some people dream of travelling once a year
and some people wish to make travelling their business
There's a particular story of success that comes to mind. It's a story of a man named Hernan Cortes.
Hernan Cortes was a Spanish conqueror that sailed to Mexico in the hopes of taking over. Once he arrived at the beach, Cortes realized he was greatly outnumbered. Although he was outnumbered, he wouldn't let that get in the way of his success. He instructed his men to burn all the ships! His men realizing they had no form of retreat they had no choice but to fight and win. After a tumultuous battle Cortes encaptured the city of Veracruz. Failure was not a choice for cortes. Burning his ships was the foundation to his success.
I define success as being able to live free of financial restraints. I want to be able to travel whenever I want, wherever I want.
To be able to eat at expensive restaurants and not worry about the bill. I want to drive
expensive cars and own expensive property.
But, above all these things I hope for
greater things for the people that are
close to me. Never in my life did i care
much about whether I had expensive
clothes or expensive cars (I would like
to but who wouldn't!). My success is
based around the people around me, my family and friends are the centre for my motivation.
I want them to have the chance to get out of financial restraints.
I work hard to see how I can bring them along on a simpler lifestyle.
A lifestyle where you don't stress if you're going to have enough food on the table.
A lifestyle where banks don't call for overdraft fees but instead call to upgrade your credit cards. I've spent my time wondering : "How can I help them? How can I make things easier for them?"
So, what is holding you back from success ? Ask yourself: What is one reason why you
shouldn't be successful? What's holding you back from getting everything you deserve?
Sometimes we have to burn our ships to get what we want.
Success is there waiting for us to take it so I ask again, What's holding you back?

At our "Brewmasters talk," we asked Steve Dresler, recently retired from 34 years as brewmaster of Sierra Nevada, what was pinned to his shirt collar.
It's the medal of the International Order of the Hop. The Order was instituted more than 600 years ago by John the Fearless who was born in 1371 in Dijon, France, son of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy and King of Brabant. The order is a mark of distinction awarded to those who contribute to the cultivation of the "noble hop" and the "agreeable drink," beer.
Dresler is the first U.S. brewmaster ever to receive this.
In his speech when he received it two months ago, he said he started his career at Sierra Nevada as chief taster, where he packed four and drank every fifth bottle of beer. There was no automated equipment and he scooped hops from a kettle by hand. "The uniqueness of my career was that it spanned the history of craft breweries as we know them today."
He drove down from Chico to talk to us, alongside Mike Mraz of Mraz Brewing Company, a multiple Gold Medal winner at the California State Fair and another craft beer demi-god in the making.
It's Groundbreakers like these who are shaping Califorrnia beer -- they live in and around Sacramento, and they have lots of amazing stories.
Listen to the podcast of our "Brewmasters" talk with Dresler and Mraz.
Listen also to our brand-new "Icebreakers," mini-podcasts that we upload in advance of our live Groundbreaker events. In advance of the "Brewmasters" talk, we sat down in the recording studio with a few other people who also do groundbreaking stuff in the beer industry, including:
* Charlie Bamforth, Professor of Malting and Brewing Sciences at UC Davis, also known asthe "Pope of Foam," discusses how his department and its research has shaped the production of California's craft beer.
* J-E Paino of Ruhstaller Beer explains why his is the only brewery in California, besides the mega-big Sierra Nevada Brewing, to grow its own hops.
* Glynn Phillips, owner of Rubicon Brewing Company, talks about the rise and fall of Sacramento's oldest craft brewery, and why he closed Rubicon 1.5 months before it marked its 30th anniversary.
* Kate Whelan, director of Sacramento Beer Week, talks about how women are shaking up the beer industry.

Full of yearning and lament, the tango is perfect therapy for a nation still stinging from economic loss.
"Buenos Aires has changed so much under its failing economy. I felt sad to be back and see this proud and legendary city ruined. It used to be so prosperous, and I've always loved it so much. It was shocking to walk back to my hotel at dusk and see armies of the unemployed appear out of nowhere, ready to pick through garbage using supermarket baskets donated by the mayor's office. These shadowy figures emerged from the side streets and, very quietly and systematically, started going through people's trash. Everybody was so devastated by this humiliation that people in wealthy neighborhoods began to sort their garbage to make the pickers' job easier, leaving clothes in one bag, food in another. I saw the pickers having dinner on the remains after a tango session at two or three in the morning."

Tango in Finland
1997 Finnish Stamp
"It can be understood simply as a song of unreqruited love, but it could also be a song about man's longing for a paradise lost. When this is combined with the solemn, hymnlike melody, it explains why a prominent liberal theologian has recently suggested that Satumaa should be included in the official psalm book of the Finnish Lutheran church. In Finland, the tango is not taken lightly."

It is a UK site but I expect the components will be the same in the US.
If you decide on a CPU chip then you will know the chip's socket type and you can use that to filter out the incompatible mother boards. If you have a case in mind then you can also filter by form factor.

Well known bakeries like Dauphine and Bon Ton use Gold Forest Grains flour in many of their baked goods. John's interests have always included heirloom and ancient species of grains, vegetables, and livestock. The focus for him will always be the preservation of heritage varieties of food.

I think I am up for a mess in the garden with the wet dirt but it has to be done. I have neglected the flower beds for a few weeks now and if I don't get to them, my neighbors will think I have become a weed horticulturist.
It was my father's birthday last month and this was the card he received with a gift card to his favorite family diner. He enjoys the taste of a home cooked meal and the company he has when he visits his favorite restaurant. Throughout their marriage my mother did all the cooking and now that she is no longer with us, my father has learned to eat his own creations or should I say Stoffers. On a side note- I remember my mother telling me that when I was two and she was in the hospital having my sister, my father took care of me and he cooked the only thing he knew how to; eggs. I was fed eggs cooked every conceivable way and most likely some unconventional ways I am sure. It must have been a long week and hence I didn't eat eggs again until I was an adult.
My father lives 10 hours from us so dropping in for dinner here at our house isn't very realistic. He has become friends with the owners of the restaurant who will actually be a part of the extended family when their daughter marries my cousin's son. Being so far away from him, it comforts me to give him something that adds a little joy to his life. I know he misses my mother deeply and since I can't be there to visit him regularly this at least helps to fill the loneliness. I don't think we will ever get him to move closer to one of us kids. His home is where he and my mother spent their lives together and he enjoys spending the summer at their cottage which is only a 40 minute drive from their home. I am looking forward to seeing him in two weeks at a family wedding- boy the old man can still dance.
Well the weeds and earthworms are calling so I better get going. I hope you all have a wonderful week. As I had stated in my last post- I was going to do an altered book on the architecture from a recent trip. I soon realized that the shape of books I had purchased for the stamp club weren't the right dimensions and I would need a much taller book. I still created a book of "Doors" but with post cards of doors a dear friend Kay had given me. It turned out totally awesome if I do say so myself. I will take pictures of the book tomorrow and post pictures later in the week.
Have fun and enjoy!

Some unwisely say that the new Mayday feature in Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX signals a weakness in the product. On the contrary, I say that providing such help is a customer service feature that will please and facilitate more and faster purchases. And that's why Amazon included it.

Where? - 30 Hunter St. Sydney CBD
Price? - $18
Website? https://merivale.com.au/thegrandhotel
Reviewers – Lee & Nikki
Ahh Sydney. Land of Opera Houses, Harbour Bridges and one way streets with nary a hook turn to be seen.
As promised in our 300th parma review we had a little trip planned to Sydney last week, and what would an interstate holiday be without sampling the local parmie offering? (yes, it's parmie up here. Although it tastes like dirt in my mouth, When in Rome speak like the Romans do).
But where to start? I took to Reddit and asked around, and while I got a lot of fantastic suggestions from the people of Sydney they were all a bit far out for us to Uber to. We were staying pretty central to the CBD and wanted a parmie in the vicinity.
From there I stumbled onto this Urban List article about Sydney's best parmies. It seemed to exactly what I was after and wouldn't you know it? The only entry on the list in the CBD was The Grand Hotel. With quite a positive spiel my mouth was watering just from the description -
Target acquired.
One thing the Sydney CBD has over the Melbourne CBD is the sheer amount of pubs per capita. Back in Melbourne if you wan't a strip of pub after pub you're better off venturing to the outskirts - Fitzroy or Richmond or Brunswick. Sydney CBD seemingly has a new watering hole every hundred meters, and while not many of them actually have a parmie on the menu, it was refreshing to have so many options.
We arrived at the Grand just on lunchtime on a Friday, and hot damn ... This place was popular.
We started by venturing upstairs (pictured above) a huge mistake as it was absolutely packed to capacity. A shame, as upstairs seemed to have a better, more craft focussed range of beers on tap than downstairs did. Disappointed, we trudged downstairs to a smaller, yet similar front bar.
Which was also full.
Luckily we managed to snag a table on the street, If you look at the exterior image at the top of the page you'll see a series of wooden tables jutting from the front of the building - we were there. A decent spot if you're big on people watching, Would be quite easy to sink a few pints and watch the hustle and bustle of the world go by on a lazy afternoon. Plus they had coat hooks, always bonus points for coat hooks.
We checked the menu and spied our target -
Sounds delish, and with a novelty option thrown in for good measure! However as good as the deluxe parmie sounded, we both opted for the more traditional "Grand Parmy" this time around.
I ordered at the bar and grabbed a pint, I was starting to get a little concerned at the half-hour point, but they were extremely busy, I was happy to grant them a little leeway. At the 35 minute mark our parmies arrived from the kitchen...
At first glance it looked alright! The addition of a lemon slice was something that we rarely see in Melbourne, and I would assume is a carryover from Sydney pub food being primarily about the schnitzel and not the parmie. I gave the lemon a squeeze, picked up my cutlery and tucked in.
The schnitzel was real chicken, but there was a big issue with crumb fallaway. The slightly-too-thick crumbs had practically zero grip on the bird itself and fell off the second the knife hit the chicken. Other than that the schnitzel was fine - Nothing especially noteworthy, but nothing to report home about.
The promises made of double smoked ham wrote a cheque that the toppings definitely did not cash. Yes, the ham was there - but it was barely detectable and carried very little flavour - None of it resembling any kind of smokiness.
Much like the ham the napoli was there, but didn't offer much of a flavour profile. It was fine, although a few more spoonfuls would have been appreciated.
The cheese was probably the best of the bunch. Applied liberally and grilled to golden brown perfection.
The pub chips were pretty standard. Could have used some seasoning and an extra sixty seconds in the fryer, but they did their job - An extra squeeze of the supplied lemon gave them a zesty tang that helped me forgive the lack of salt and/or a dipping sauce
The salad was probably the biggest disappointment on the plate. An unloved pile of bitter, wilted greens with the lightest drizzle of oil. One forkful was enough for me on the salad front.
$18 is a decent price, and this is an acceptable parmie. If it were over $20 I'd probably be a little more miffed, but it was fine for the price. I didn't see any advertising for a particular parmie night.
Had I not been recommended this parmie as one of "Sydney's Best" I probably would have been satisfied with it. Not overwhelming, not underwhelming, just a solid little meal for a decent price.
However, as it was supposed to be one of the best I was left a little disappointed. I think there's some blame to be shared on my part - I should have listened to the people of Reddit for their suggestions and not some random listicle, or perhaps the "Deluxe Parmy" was the way to go instead - I do love a bit of chorizo.
I'm not gonna officially score this one, as it wouldn't be fair to put it on the ladder with all of the Melbourne parmas, But if I did I would estimate it fall somewhere around 5.5 or thereabouts - The horrid salad definitely hurting its score.
The Grand Hotel had a great vibe, friendly staff and good beers (upstairs), its a shame their parmie missed the mark the way it did.
Other than that I had a fantastic time in Sydney. Doyle's on the Beach was an absolutely phenomenal meal and some of the best seafood I've eaten in my life - So that's proof right there they can produce some quality grub
Catch you Friday for what promises to be a very interesting Melbourne-based redo.
Until then,
