It was a close contest for the title of National WorldSkills Bricklayer at Australia's premier event to decide the best apprentice in the 50 skill categories contested. The final margin between the winner and second place was just two points out of a possible 100, and between second and third place, just one point. Coming out on top with the Gold Medal was Todd Richards from Mackay in Queensland with 80.79 points, followed by Silver Medalist Alan Ramsden from Perth North Region with 78.48 points and a close third was Matthew Barratt who was awarded the Bronze Medal, on 77.40 points.
All up, there were 13 Regional bricklaying finalists represented at the three day event. Our congratulations to the winners of course, but also to all of the competitors support teams, for their preparation, training and travel to the national event, held in Sydney at the Olympic Stadium at Homebush. TAFE teachers, trainers, employers and family pulled together to make this a special occasion on the calendar in an apprentice's or newly qualified bricklayer's young working life.
The occasion formally commenced with ABBTF's Industry Event on the Wednesday evening prior to the actual competition. Industry stakeholders, brick manufacturers, construction industry and training organisations came together with employers and competing apprentices and their families.
It was an excellent night of re-connecting with old mates, making new contacts and reflecting on the achievements and challenges facing our industry.
We were fortunate to have the last three International WorldSkills Bricklaying competitors in Tim Hambly (2007), Nigel Croke (2009) and Lester Tibbles (2011) and they were suitably honoured during the evening.
The full Bricklaying Skillaroo Honour Roll going back to 1985 can be viewed here.

Here is the side table project I did for my guest post over at Lemon Tree Creations. I forgot about posting it here too! Here you go.
I finally decided that I had this little side table sitting around for far to long in it's old ugly original form for way to long (bought at a local thrift store for $10 about 2 or 3 years ago). It was doing nothing for my daughters room with the way to dark color on it.
But, I loved the detail on it!
I tried to sand it down a bit but I think it has veneer on it. The legs sanded pretty good though.
Then I used Krylon White Primer Spray Paint.
Couple coats of that.
Then Krylon Satin Ballet Slipper pink for the top coat.
This is when it was done with Spray paint, before any stencil or distressing.
Bought the Stencil at Hobby Lobby. I just used a white craft paint and just dabbed, rather than brushed.
I just wanted it in the two opposite corners from each other.
It turned out a little sloppy even though I 'dabbed' the foam brush. But I sanded it down a little.
THEN, I got out the little hand sander and went to work distressing it! That is the funnest part.
Ok, So I put this picture in because even though the table is so pretty out on the green lawn with cute flowers on it, the reality is that is will go in my daughters room to be used for who knows what. To have plastic kitchen food line up on it, All the farm animals from the Little People set corralled there, Stacks of books piled on top. So I'm just keepin' it real for you and just threw in the naked baby for kicks!
I hope you feel inspired to check out your local thrift stores and yard sales, and when you look at a piece think to yourself if you would like it if it had another color on it?!
Thanks to Erin for letting me guest post here at Lemon Tree Creations!
What a beautiful and inspiring blog!
I sure hope you will all come over and check me out at First Lady of the House.

Mother & Baby Treatments: Assessment, Ayurvedic Massage & Baby Massage Class In Your Home
In Ayurveda, the six weeks following birth are crucial for both mother and baby. By restoring balance to your physiology and building vitality from within, our postpartum program will help restore the mother in mind, body, and spirit. Some of the benefits from this ancient science include faster recovery from childbirth challenges, easier hormonal balancing and restoration, quick and natural weight loss, higher rate of successful lactation, better breast and uterine health and overall return to health and vitality.
Ayurveda also views this as a profound time in your new baby's life. Through our specialized treatments, services and ayurvedic massages that mother receives, your sense of well-being is directly passed to your child. Parents are taught time honored practices in caring for your baby such as Ayurvedic massage using Surya Spa oils prepared just for your family. Not only is this a wonderful way of establishing deep and lasting communication between parent and child, but research has shown that babies who are given Ayurvedic Massage show stronger immune systems and develop motor skills and healthy behavioral patterns more rapidly, thus giving them the best foundation for a happier and balanced life.

Follow my journey from being overweight and addicted to ice cream, to running marathon's!

11 Miles and friendly strangers
As I was running, I passed (yes, I said passed) a guy running. He passed me shortly after that, he wasn't gonna get beat by a girl. But it was still nice for a few minutes! About an hour later, while I'm still running, a truck slows down and it's the same guy. He introduced himself and said he bought me a bottle of water! It was ice cold and pretty much the best thing I've ever tasted. He told me his name was Lance and he said "thank you for inspiring me to keep running." Then he just told me to be careful out there.
How sweet was that! I just love nice people. :)
Since I am the Google queen, when I got home I googled why my hip might've been hurting during my run. First of all, I think it's because of my shoes. They're probably at least 3 years old, and anytime I run more than 3 miles, I get blisters. :( I must get new shoes before my Half!
Secondly, it's because when running on the side of the road, on the asphalt, one side slopes down a little bit on the side. So, my right side is a little higher than my left, which would make my right hip hurt! It's strange that didn't happen on my 10 miler last time though.
Last time after finishing the 10, I didn't think I could possibly do 13. But this time, I thought I believe I can do 13!

Ok chica we gotta get you some new kicks! Running shoes are only good for 300-350 miles...though I do push mine to 400 but never in a race! Also could be the road camber. But I am glad you had a great 11 miler other than the hip issue!ReplyDelete
Water boy sounds like he thought you were cute! ;-)
I love that we're at about the same point in our training! I just ordered myself new shoes...so close to my first half, I went for the new model of the pair I have right now. I spent hours on google trying to find the "expected mileage" for shoes since I was getting one new pair a year and feeling like I should get more time out of these, but I've trained more this year than ever before (cause usually I run from april to July then crap out for the year!) I added up my training (I've only just started keeping track since starting my blog/running journal in July) and was surprised to find that, Yep, my hip and knee issues are probably due to mileage. Definitely get to a shoe store! (or ...I don't normally plug shopping sites, but if you know what shoes you want davesproshop dot com had a GREAT deal on the shoes I wanted! with free shipping!) Congrats on 11 miles, and the cute water boy too!ReplyDelete
I plan on getting some new shoes this week! I'd like to go to one of those stores where they look at your feet, while you're running on a tm- that way they know exactly what you need.ReplyDelete
Jenn, I don't think he thought I was cute, he probably felt sorry for me! I know I had mascara running down my face, thanks to the rain. And I'm sure my face was all red and sweaty. I probably looked pretty scary! Lol!
Jess, glad you found some good shoes! Thanks for the website too! When is your half?
- AnonymousSeptember 5, 2012 at 10:49 PM
You could try special socks as well to help reduce blisters. They aren't made with cotton. They are a blend to help wick away moisture and cut down on friction. I can't wait to see how your half goes! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Bobbi, I've seen those socks, and thought about getting some. I'll have to try them!ReplyDelete
My first half is the 16th. It was supposed to be the 30, with my bff from highschool (we have only seen each other 4 times since graduating 17 years ago) but there's a local one on the 16th that I will only have to drive 10 minutes to get to...and I couldn't resist the temptation! :) So September is a Two-fer for me!ReplyDelete
2 in one month. Wow! I know you'll do great, Jess!ReplyDelete
New to your blog......love reading about your running! I'm a new runner too and it's awesomeness. Thank goodness for friendly people!! Most of the runners I meet are one type of extreme- either SUPER nice or SUPER rude. :) Hopefully I am the super nice type!ReplyDelete
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Elizabeth! I agree about the types of runners. I try to be the SUPER nice type too! Congrats on running! It is an awesome journey, and hopefully you'll become addicted too! ;)ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comments! I reply to each one via email. Please make sure you are not a 'no reply' blogger!

Welcome to a world of pampering and indulgence in Quail Creek Country Club's Fitness & Spa Center. Prepare to say "Ahhh!"
Relaxation Massage
This classic relaxation, full body massage uses a variety of techniques and long flowing strokes. Pressure can range from light to medium. This massage can improve muscle tone, stimulate circulation and induce relaxation.
Therapeutic Massage
This massage is used for specific conditions and issues. By applying a combination of techniques the therapist can help decrease pain and increase mobility and range of motion. Specific stretches and "at-home exercises" can aid your recovery. Lymphatic drainage techniques may also be utilized
Indulgence Massage
Indulgence! The name says it all! A deep, relaxing massage with hot stones, hot towels and Thai stretching. We offer a selection of fine aromatherapy oils to enhance your spa experience.
Hot Stone Massage
This treatment combines massage techniques and warm stones that are used to provide deep penetrating heat that radiates into muscles, relaxing the body.
Thai Massage / Thai Sport Massage
This is the newest form of healing bodywork, yet it is one of the oldest modalities. This form of body work is unlike any massage we are accustomed to in the western world. What makes it unique is the Yoga-like stretches, combined with muscle kneading and shiatsu pressure points. It has a two-in-one effect. It is performed on a mat with the client fully clothed.
Thai Foot Reflexology
Thai Foot Reflexology came from the Chinese over 5,000 years ago. A wooden tool and various hand techniques are used. The treatment is not only done on the feet but also on the lower legs. Pressure is applied to the reflex points on the toes and bottom of the feet. These points are said to correlate to different organs of the body. Working the energy lines (sen) of the legs also helps restore energy flow making it a very powerful healing modality.
Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage
Supported by wooden bars, the therapist applies muscle compression using the feet. Smooth, fluid and gliding foot pressure reaches deep into soft muscle tissue surrounding the joints. This pressure helps provide deep relaxation and is finished with traditional massage techniques.
This massage is based on the ancient oriental theory that different zones of the feet or hands correspond to the glands, organs, and individual parts in the body. This technique stimulates reflex points to improve circulation, promote balance and release tension.
Body Scrub
Deeply cleanses by exfoliating dead skin, leaving skin naturally shiny, soft, and moisturized. Choose from a variety of scrubs: sea salt, sugar and other aromatherapeutic preparations.
Detoxification Body Wrap
This herbal preparation helps detoxify the body and encourages local blood circulation.
Utilizing a honey or aroma therapeutic wax solution, these services are currently available for eyebrow, lip, and chin areas.
- Shiradara – 30-minute hot oil, deep scalp massage with essential oils. This treatment will help increase circulation and decrease tension.
- Dermaplaning – Removes facial fluff (fine facial hair) while also exfoliating the outermost layer of dead skin.
- Paraffin Wax Treatment – Provides deep penetrating heat while softening and hydrating the hands and feet.

They shouldn't call Iceland "Iceland".
Once thought to be a cold barren place sans people, this Arctic land has no snow and ice in the summer. Berries, vegetables and flowers grow in many places and the sun shines on the entire region for at least part of the day from March to September. That is, unless it rains. At the onset of summer, the sun never sets and white nights illuminate the annual June 23rd golf tournament which begins at midnight.
The misnomer of this Scandinavian island dates back more than a millenium (874 AD) to Ingolfur Arnarson, a Norwegian Viking frequently credited with discovering the island. By naming it Iceland, he hoped to discourage future voyagers from settling on this green and appealing island. Throughout the centuries, unsuccessful attempts have been made to rename the country Iceland, just 625-miles west of Norway, is a craggy land of fire and ice...where steam and snow are side by side...where erupting volcanoes, boiling geysers and bubbling hot springs lie next to glistening glaciers and ice fields. This land of Europe's largest waterfalls is etched with craters of slumbering volcanoes that pockmark an eerie landscape so lunar-like that America's moon-mission astronauts trained there. Known as "The Land of the Midnight Sun," Iceland, a country the size of the state of Ohoi, has a total population of appproximately 323,000.
Iceland's capital of Reykjavik (meaning Smoky Bay) is often called "The Smokeless City" because it is heated by geothermal energy in the form of boiling water piped directly from natural hot springs. Perlan (The Pearl), a geothermal water storage tank, is a domed architectural wonder that houses a restaurant.
Greater Reykjavik, the heart and center of the Icelandic nation, contains approximately one-half the population of the entire country. Picturesque homes, in a riot of gay colors, surround the Arctic Tern-inhabited lake in the center of the city. The bustling harbor, the historic old town huddling nearby, and the modern new town, are all encircled by mountains for which the people feel an intimate affection.
Reykjavik (pronounced rake-ya-vek) is the most northern capital in the world. In this city of civilized tastes, there are two symphony orchestras, the IcelandicOpera House, a major sports center, art galleries, the National Museum exhibiting artifacts of yesteryear, the Nordic House Cultural Centre, and Hallgrimskirkja Church that offers glorious views of the city and a glacier at the other end of Faxafloi Bay.
This Scandinavian city has a standard of living as high as any in continental Europe. There are a wide variety of hotels in Reykjavik. Iceland is as much the home of magnificent cuisine as magnificent scenery. Icelandic menus offer lamb in all its variations and fish in countless permutations. Traditional gravlax (raw salmon and chopped dill) tastes even better as you gaze at the pink streaks of a midnight sun. The continental cuisine should be preceded by a glass of Brennivin, Iceland's "Black Death."
Laekjarbrekka, situated in the heart of Reykjavik in a restored 1834 house, offers a three-course Icelandic feast that might include the likes of hardfiskur (dried fish); hakrl (ripened shark meat); or hangikjot (smoked lamb). Skyr, the uniquely Icelandic dairy product is a delightful dessert. So, gjorid svo ve! (Help yourselves!)
Anyone visiting Iceland must take a trip into the countryside. That is the real Iceland, a land filled with natural beauty and dramatic contrasts. The tour included Gullfoss ("Golden Falls") Waterfall, crested by a vivid rainbow when the sun peaked through, and the town of Hveragerdi, with its huge greenhouses heated by thermal springs. The Garden of Eden offered a good shopping spot as well as a greenhouse.
My Iceland tour also included Geysir Park, (geysir is the correct Icelandic spelling) with its Strokkur ("The Churn") geyser that erupts every eight minutes sending boiling columns of water 100-feet skyward.
At Thingvellir National Park, a hallowed spot where the Vikings first met in parliament in 930 AD, we walked through the canyon that is the meeting place of two of the earth's tectonic plates. A stop was also made at Kerio Crater, an inactive volcano crater that houses a sparkling lake.
The Westman Islands are the single most dramatic locale in Iceland. There you will see the pitch-black mass of Eldfell, the volcano that erupted in January 1973 and made world headlines when the town of Vestmannaeyjar had to be evacuated. From 700-feet above sea level, you look down on the rebuilt town that has piped into the slopes of the volcano to extract steam for heating homes and businesses
You will also see the tall basalt cliffs inhabited by puffin birds, and Iceland's greatest fishing harbor that was almost closed off by lava from the eruption. Only ingenious high pressure hosing of seawater onto the advancing lava prevented the harbor from being destroyed. As you walk over jagged boulders of hardened lava, you will spot a tiny splash of color amidst the rubble. The tiny clumps of pink and white blooms are called lava flowers.
The consummate shopper will not leave Iceland without a supply of naturally waterproofed Icelandic woolens, Icelandic lumpfish caviar, and the unusual Ostur Myur cheese. The latter looks like a bar of brown soap and tastes somewhere between peanut butter and chocolate. Fans of Bjork, Iceland's most revered lady of pop, will want to take home Gling Glo, an Icelandic album recorded in her pre-superstar days.
A trip to Iceland, a fantasyland of fire and ice will alter any preconceived notion you might have had about the country. Although perpetual darkness prevails during Iceland's winters, in summer there is no night. Golfers putt, and photographers snap, beyond the bewitching hour. Bathers swim in pools heated by thermal pools and the country is ablaze with colorful blooms.
One visit to this verdant Nordic nation just below the Arctic Circle will convince you…they shouldn't call Iceland, 'Iceland'.

Laura DeNino, mother of one and yoga instructor shares 3 ways to keeping busy moms mindful of their health.
Eat a healthy breakfast
I know you've heard this one maybe a hundred times, but don't ignore it. Breakfast is a time to nourish your body and jump start your day towards healthy eating. A healthy morning meal triggers your body and mind to make healthy choices throughout the day. I like to start my morning off with Ezekiel sprouted grain bread with almond butter, sliced banana and a dash of cinnamon. The healthy combination will keep you feeling fuller longer which means more energy for the day ahead.
Move more
Make it a priority to get moving in a positive, fun way. You don't have to struggle through an hour long treadmill routine. I practice yoga, because it's the perfect combination of both physical and mental exercise. Yoga truly is for everyone with so many different types and styles to choose from. There are great options for moms such as Mama & Baby Yoga, yoga with childcare and really good online options.
Practice mindfulness when it comes to snacking
Ask yourself, am I really hungry or just bored, anxious, tired etc.? Try drinking a glass of water before reaching for a snack. A lot of times thirst can be masked as hunger. Keep a big chopped salad with lots of greens in your fridge at all times. Try eating the salad without dressing. What if you don't like salad? Too bad...eat it anyway. Overtime your taste buds will adjust and you can learn to love vegetables.
If you forget everything, just remember to keep it simple: eat real food, avoid consuming any products that you cannot pronounce and find a little time for yourself to move in a fun way even if it means just dancing with your little one in the living room.

A head-on crash in Ocean Beach caused the death of a woman and sent another woman who is nine months' pregnant to the hospital on the evening of April 21.
The deceased had been traveling east on West Point Loma Boulevard in a 14-year-old Honda CRX when she reportedly veered into the opposite lane and crashed head-on into the pregnant woman's Toyota Camry.
Local resident Denine Hunt heard the crash and came out to see what had happened. She said that there are quite a few accidents on this street because of people speeding.
By the time I had come upon the crash, firefighters had already used the jaws of life to extricate the deceased from the vehicle. She reportedly was not wearing a seatbelt, nor did her car have an airbag. The jaws had to be brought in because she was jammed under the steering column. She appeared to have died instantly, according to SDPD Sgt. Dougherty, who gave the press a statement about three hours after the crash.
He stated that it was certain the CRX driver had caused the crash by veering into the opposite lane and that if she had been wearing her seatbelt she would have most likely survived. He also said that the pregnant woman had survived with minor injuries due to her airbag deploying.
Dougherty would not state whether the victims were Obecians, due to the fact that next of kin had to be notified first, but he did confirm that they were both from San Diego.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Northwestern State
|16 Years
|(225) 771-3466
Since Sandy Pugh's arrival in 2000, Southern University Women's Basketball has ascended to become one of the most storied programs in the State of Louisiana and the SWAC conference. During a stellar career that spans 12 years, Southern Women's Basketball has provided the Jaguar Nation with years of pride, boasting the conference's first and only WNBA draft pick in 2002, four NCAA first round Appearances, two WNIT post season appearances and numerous individual and coach of the year accolades.
Pugh is no stranger to setting and exceeding high standards as a head coach. From 1996-2000, Pugh led the women's basketball program at Meridian Community College where her teams boasted a 76-19 overall record. With Pugh's guidance and signature 2-spread offense, MMCC won the Region 23 twice earning two trips to the NJCAA national division I tournament in Salina, Kan. and winning the consolation bracket finishing sixth out of 16.
A 2010 Northwestern State Hall of Fame inductee, Pugh was named the Gulf Star Most Valuable Player in 1987, where she registered the sixth highest single season record for point. and As a two-time Louisiana All-State selection at Lakeview, Pugh won two state titles played for one of the all-time winningest Coaches in Louisiana History, Emma Boozman (Natchitoches Central).
Coach Pugh knows how to "win." And like most of the great ones she is known for her development of players and her leadership while maintaining the air of the "consummate professional." Her players and staff know her to be a disciplinarian and a tough competitor with a deeply compassionate temperament.
During her 12-year tenure, no other coach in the SWAC has been as durable or dominant. Pugh credits her inate ability to "make things work" regardless of resource limitations.
After finishing second in 2011-12, while balancing the duties as Southern's Interim Athletics Director, Pugh has proven there is nothing she can't accomplish. From spearheading the efforts to hire Southern men's basketball coach, Roman Bank - a NSU 2012 Hall of Fame inductee and son of SU hoops legend Cleophus Banks, to the first-ever female strength and conditioning coach at Southern, Pugh has also proven herself as capable multitasker.
In April 2012, Pugh relinquished her duties as Interim and now concentrates 100 percent of her efforts on basketball and the next five years. Southern University Alumni and fans alike can rest assured that Southern was and is in great hands due to the efforts of Sandy Pugh. And the Jaguar Nation can rest assured that future traditions and successes are firmly in the hands of one the best coaches college basketball has to offer.

We shared last week: First Foods for Baby: Fruits, and today we are continuing our post with the first veggies for baby. Vegetables are very important to our daily nutrition, and even more important to a baby who is first beginning to take real foods.
Learn which veggies are best, their nutrients, and how to prepare them:
Carrots: Carrots are one of the many vegetables high in beta-carotene, which is a wonderful antioxidant for your baby. Carrots are also rich in Vitamins A and C, calcium, folate, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, and have small amounts of iron, copper, and zinc. Before you buy your carrots, make sure you are buying the proper ones. Baby carrots are an industrial made product, and more than often they contain less of the valuable nutrients your baby needs compared to regular, large carrots. If you find baby carrots that say "baby cut" than they are fine. You can serve the carrots either steamed or boiled and then mash them.
Sweet Potatoes and Regular Potatoes: The consistency of a potato is very soft and easy to mash. While both are going to be fairly easy to feed to your baby, you might find the sweet potato too be easier due to its sweetness, which is similar to breastmilk. Both sweet and regular white potatoes have are good sources of Vitamin C and potassium. They are also rich in fiber and great for your baby's digestive system. When you baby becomes used to solids you can finely chop the potatoes and serve them whole. They are great finger foods as well!
Butternut Squash: Butternut squash and acorn squash are the perfect first foods for your baby! Butternut squash contains lots of vitamin and nutrients your baby needs in their first foods. With a smooth consistency, it is also easy to mash and puree which will make preparation simple. Butternut squash is high in Vitamin A, folate, calcium, and potassium. The sweet flavor might also be easy to feed your baby because they are already used to the sweet taste of your breastmilk. Be careful if you're making it homemade because you will need to properly wash the vegetable to rid all pesticides and germs. Butternut squash can be served mashed or pureed, and once your child is ready for solids you can serve them baked and finely chopped.
Eggplant: Compared to the rest of the vegetables on this list, eggplants will have the smallest amount of nutrients. However, they are packed with Vitamins A and K, folate, and calcium. Eggplants also contain fiber, which is important for your baby's digestion. You can serve eggplant pureed with the skin or peeled. Some experts say if you baby is having trouble with their digestion then peel off the skin before pureeing. Make sure to always wash your veggies before you serve them to your baby.
Cauliflower: Cauliflower is a wonderful first food for your baby. This veggie is jam packed with Vitamins A and C, and contains a healthy amount of calcium, potassium, phosphorus, folate, and lutein. Although this vegetable might make your baby a tad bit gassy, cauliflower holds lots of phytochemicals which are said to fight against cancer! The best way to prepare cauliflower for your baby is to steam it and then mash it. Steaming your vegetables will keep all the nutrients inside. When your baby is ready for the next step you can either bake or roast the cauliflower for small finger foods.
Zucchini: Zucchinis are great during the colder months because they are at their peak and loaded with vitamins and minerals. This vegetable is also really great because it can easily be steamed and mashed and ready to serve in less than 20 minutes. Zucchini is rich in Vitamins A and C, beta-carotene, potassium, and folate. It works wonderfully with your baby's digestive system and will help with constipation. Zucchini can be served in a number of ways. It can be steamed or boiled and then either pureed or mashed. It can also be frozen into tiny ice cubes to give to your baby while they are teething.

Genesis 45 International Standard Version (ISV)
Joseph Reveals Himself
45 At this point, Joseph could not control his emotions any longer, so he cried out to everyone who was standing nearby, "Everybody! Leave me!" As a result, none of his staff[a] was anywhere near[b] him when he revealed himself to his brothers. 2 He cried so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, including Pharaoh's household.
3 Joseph blurted out, "I'm Joseph! Is my father really alive?" But his brothers could not answer him, because they had become terrified[c] to be in his presence.
4 Joseph implored his brothers, "Please come close to me." So they did.
"I'm your brother Joseph, whom you sold into slavery in[d] Egypt!" he told them. 5 "But[e] don't be distressed or angry at yourselves because you sold me here, because God sent me ahead of you all in order to deliver us.[f] 6 That's because this famine has been going on for two years now in this region, and there are still five years left, during which there won't be any plowing or harvesting. 7 God sent me ahead of you to keep you alive on the earth, and to save you all in a magnificent way. 8 As a result, it wasn't you who sent me here, but God himself! He established me as a father-figure to Pharaoh himself! I'm in charge of his entire palace and ruler over the entire land of Egypt. 9 So hurry up, go back to my father, and tell him that his son Joseph tells him, 'God has made me master of all of Egypt. Hurry up! Come live with me!' 10 You are to live in the land of Goshen, near where I am—you, your children, your grandchildren, your flocks, your herds, and everything that you own. 11 I'll provide for you there, since there are still five years of famine left to go, and you, your households, and everything you own would have otherwise become impoverished.
12 "Look, now! All of you can see me! And my own brother Benjamin can tell that it's really me[g] speaking to you! 13 So go tell my father about all of my splendor in Egypt. Tell him about everything that you've seen. Be quick about it, and bring my father down here!"
14 Then he threw his arms around Benjamin[h] and wept as they embraced.[i] 15 He kissed all of his brothers and wept with them, too, and then his brothers were able to talk with him.
Pharaoh is Pleased
16 As soon as the news reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived, Pharaoh and his servants were ecstatic. 17 Pharaoh told Joseph, "Be sure to tell your brothers, 'Do this: load up your livestock, go back to the land of Canaan, 18 get your father and your households, and come back to me. I'll give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can live off the abundance of the land.' 19 In addition," Pharaoh ordered, "Do this: take some transport wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones to ride in, along with your wives, and bring your father and come! 20 Don't worry about your household goods, because the best of all the land of Egypt is yours."
Joseph's Brothers Go Back Home
21 So Israel's sons did what they were asked to do, and Joseph provided wagons for them, as Pharaoh had commanded. He also gave them provisions for the journey. 22 He gave each of them some changes of clothes, but he also gave Benjamin 300 pieces of silver and five changes of clothes. 23 He sent his father ten male donkeys loaded with the best of Egyptian goods and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and provisions for his father during the journey. 24 Then Joseph[j] sent his brothers away, and they left for home.[k] As they were leaving, Joseph admonished them, "Don't quarrel on the way back!"
25 So Joseph's brothers[l] left Egypt and returned to the land of Canaan and to their father Jacob, 26 where they informed their father, "Joseph is still alive! As a matter of fact, he's ruling the entire land of Egypt." But Jacob didn't believe them, because he had become cynical.[m] 27 However, as soon as his sons[n] had told him everything Joseph had said, and after he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent along to carry him, their father Jacob's spirit was encouraged.
28 "It's enough," Israel replied. "My son Joseph is still alive. I'm going to go see him before I die!"

Hey all-
I'm having problems getting any software at all to install. I'm working off a relatively new install of 11.1, and whenever I need a new piece of software, it tells me "use sudo zypper install <program name>". Whenever I do this, though, it downloads the repositories and then gives me this error:
Failed to mount cd:///?devices=/dev/sr0 on /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001: No medium found (mount: No medium found on /dev/sr0).
I'm working off of a virtual machine using VMWare. I'm trying to get cmake right now. I went to YaST's online update and when I tried to get it through there it wanted me to put in an openSUSE cd that I don't have since this was an image install.
Please help!

The Times: Lawyers launch petition for financial mis-selling tribunal
Posted on: December 19, 2016
The Times Brief reports that we have launched an online petition in an attempt to apply public pressure on banks to settle compensation claims for financial product mis-selling.
The petition launched on Friday calls on the government to create a financial services tribunal that would resolve "customer disputes".
Behind the campaign is LEXLAW, a firm of solicitors and barristers based in Middle Temple. It is acting for Wenta – whose chairman won the Queen's Lifetime Achievement for Enterprise Promotion last year – which claims that RBS has failed to pay up for allegedly mis-selling a complicated financial product that went wrong.
The petition states that:
"major banks and other financial services institutions are often in dispute with customers who deserve protection. Access to court is costly. The Financial Ombudsman scheme is inadequate. The Financial Conduct Authority is not equipped to resolve disputes. Tribunals offer scrutiny, justice and censure which deters misconduct."
LEXLAW opened the petition after a debate on Friday of a private member's bill in the House of Commons in which MPs were encouraged to support the creation of a "commercial financial dispute resolution platform"
"Only a tiny fraction of financial services disputes are ever litigated," Mr M Ali Akram, principal lawyer at LEXLAW, said. "And the vast majority of good litigation cases settle, which means there is a lack of meaningful court precedents to force financial services institutions to deal with disputes fairly."

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Although Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) has been criticized by some in the media, there are increasing reports supporting its use. For decades, traditional medicine has supported the use of synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), but the risks associated and documented with synthetic HRT are numerous and frightening. Therefore, some practitioners feel bioidentical hormone therapy may be a safer alternative to traditional Synthetic Hormone Therapy.
What is the difference between BHRT and HRT?
Bio-identical Hormone Therapy have a chemical structure identical to hormones the body makes naturally, while non-bio-identical hormones are structurally different. The molecular shape, composition, and structure must be identical to what is made in the human body to provide the perfect fit with the body's receptor sites.
What are the risks associated with synthetic HRT?
The two biggest risks involve breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. In 1991, the Women's Health Initiative demonstrated that a synthetic progestin (instead of bioidentical progesterone) as a part of HRT significantly increased the risk for breast cancer. It also demonstrated that a therapy regimen that included synthetic progestin resulted in a substantial increase in the risk of heart attack and stroke.
What are the benefits of BHRT?
Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD, renowned BHRT expert and founder and director of the National Academy of Hypothyroidism, wrote a comprehensive paper on BHRT in 2009. After the review of multiple independent patient studies, Dr. Holtorf concluded that bio-identical hormones are safer and more effective than commonly used synthetic ones. He also stated that they decrease the risk for breast cancer, heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Similarly, he also cited that the women in all of the studies "reported greater satisfaction, fewer side effects, and improved quality of life when they were switched from synthetic progestin to progesterone replacement". Read Dr. Holtorf's paper.
What hormones can be compounded into a custom BHRT medication?
Some of the commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones are:
- Estrogen: This category refers to the female sex hormones (estradiol, estrone, estriol). Estrogen hormones play an essential role in the growth and development of female secondary sexual characteristics such as breasts, pubic and armpit hair, endometrium, regulation of the menstrual cycle and the reproductive system.
- Progesterone: Progesterone helps to prevent thickening of the uterine lining caused by estrogen and decreases the risk of developing uterine cancer. Progesterone has also been shown to improve sleep patterns commonly associated with perimenopause and menopause.
- Testosterone: Testosterone belongs to a class of male hormones called androgens, but women also produce small amounts of testosterone. Testosterone plays an essential role in bone density, fat distribution, muscle strength and mass, sex drive and perm production.
- DHEA: When DHEA levels are low, the body does not have enough working material for proper endocrine function. This throws off hormone production and patients feel a general sense of illness, along with other symptoms of hormonal imbalance — how severe depends on how many other demands are being made on your body at the same time.
How can I get BHRT?
BHRT is available by prescription only, written by a licensed physician or healthcare practitioner. Hormone levels can be measured by a simple blood draw or self- administered saliva test. If you think Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy might be right for you, contact your physician or compounding pharmacy and discuss your options with them.

Definition of Indigenous Australia and its application into Policies and Services
The term Indigenous Australians is used when referring to both Indigenous races of Australia,
These being:-
(i) Australian Aboriginal people and;
(ii) Torres Strait Islander people
To understand and apply this terminology means that you also understand that these Australians are two separate races, and policies devised on behalf of these races should clearly be highlighted. In fact it is not enough to understand this term but it is also important that the people from these two races are properly represented on organisations, boards etc who use the word Indigenous Australian in promoting their service delivery.
There are many Indigenous Australian organisations, and non-Indigenous Australian organisations that are using the term "Indigenous Australian", however in operation these organisations mainly focus on the Aboriginal people of Australia, and often you will find very little Torres Strait Islander representation and input. Even the Artwork used reflects only one of the Indigenous races, the Aboriginal race. This is definitely a form of discrimination, as the human rights issues confronting the Torres Strait Islanders are not adequately addressed if addressed at all.
You will also find that only a few of the Australian universities have involved Torres Strait Islanders in the organisations, and have accepted that the Aboriginal race speaks also on behalf of the Torres Strait Islander race. This is discriminatory and violates the human rights of the Torres Strait Islander people.
For those bodies who are accessing funding from government bodies, who from the funder is assessing if the these organisations are actually meeting the needs of the population they claim the funds for. What's even worse is currently a number of State and Territory governments continue to fail to adequately make clear their policies in regards to how the Torres Strait Islanders will be catered for within their State or Territory, and how they will spend the funds on the delivery of services to the Torres Strait Islander population.
The Torres Strait Islander population is a minority in comparison to the Australian Aboriginal population, and this is a real concern when you don't see the Torres Strait Islander people representing themselves as they should. How culturally appropriate can these services be when they have very little understanding or working knowledge of dealing with the Torres Strait Islander people.
In fact what is even worse is that a number of people who are employed in the health, Law/legal, and education disciplines have real problems in trying to grasp how you spell Torres Strait ...too often they write Straight instead of Strait.
Is your Organisation using the term Indigenous to promote your service delivery:-
1 Have you included both Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander input
2 Have you got the right genders for the business you are wanting to deliver
3 Are Elders from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait population involved
4 Is the community you claim to represent aware of the service you are delivering on their behalf
5 Is your service culturally appropriate to the Indigenous races you want to deliver your services
6 Monitoring the effectiveness of your services to both Indigenous Australian races
7 If you are going to add Indigenous Artwork to your organisation logo, make sure that both races are equally represented.

Syed Ali Shah Geelani (born 29 September 1929) is a Kashmiri separatist Hurriyat leader.[2] He was previously a member of Jamaat-e-Islami Kashmir but later on founded his own party by the name of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat. He has served as the chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, a conglomerate of separatist parties in Jammu and Kashmir. He was an MLA from the Sopore constituency of Jammu and Kashmir three times (1972,1977 and 1987).[3][4]
Early life
Geelani was born in a town near Bandipora, North Kashmir, on 29 September 1929. He was educated at Sopore, and finished his studies at the Oriental College, Lahore (in present-day Pakistan).[1]
Political activism
Geelani has been viewed as a key separatist leader in Kashmir.[5] Omar Abdullah, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, has blamed Geelani for the rise in militancy and bloodshed in Kashmir, while Omar's father and former Union Minister Farooq Abdullah has urged Geelani to follow a path which would "save Kashmiri people from further destruction".[6][7] In October 2013 he was re-elected for the fourth time to serve three-year term as the chairman of Hurriyat Conference (G), a faction of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, which split up in 2003.[8] He founded the Tehreek-e-Hurriyat party, to which he was separately reelected as chairman for a three-year term in September 2013.[9]
Geelani has called for numerous general strikes or shutdowns, in response to the deaths of unnamed suspected militants, local militants and death of civilians in Kashmir.[10][11]
Syed Ali Shah Geelani received the invitation to participate in the annual meeting of the "foreign ministers" of "member states" of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the "Kashmir contact group" to be held in New York from 27 September 2015.[12]
After the death of Burhan Muzaffar Wani and the ongoing 2016 Kashmir Unrest that lasted for five consecutive months, to restore normalcy in Kashmir, Geelani sent a letter to United Nations listing six Confidence Building measures (CBMS).[13][14][15]
Sedition charge
On 29 November 2010, Geelani, along with writer Arundhati Roy, Maoist Varavara Rao and three others,[16] was charged under "sections 124A (sedition), 153A (promoting enmity between classes), 153B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration), 504 (insult intended to provoke breach of peace) and 505 (false statement, rumour circulated with intent to cause mutiny or offence against public peace...) to be read with Section 13 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act of 1967". The charges, which carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, were the result of a self-titled seminar they gave in New Delhi, "Azadi-the Only Way" on 21 October, at which Geelani was heckled.[17][18]
Electoral politics
Geelani had appealed to people of Kashmir to boycott the 2014 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly elections completely, not accepting the proposals for self-rule or autonomy that had been offered by the People's Democratic Party and the then ruling National Conference.[19][20] But despite of repeated boycott appeals, 2014 assembly election recorded record voter's turnout of more than 65% which was highest in 25 years of history .[21][22][23] After record voting percentage in Kashmir, Geelani, along with other separatists, were criticised by "biased"[24] Indian media for misleading people of Kashmir and for not representing true sentiments of Kashmiri people.[25][26][27]
Personal life
Geelani lives in Hyderpora Srinagar, Kashmir with his wife Jawahira Begum.[28] Both his elder son Nayeem & his daughter in law were doctors in Rawalpindi, Pakistan but returned to India in 2010.[29] His second son, Zahoor, lives in New Delhi. Izhaar, his grandson, is a crew member of a private airliner in India, while his daughter Farhat is a teacher in Jeddah.[30] His other grandchildren are studying in leading schools of India. His cousin Ghulam Nabi Fai is presently in London.[31]
Health issues, passport suspension and house arrest
Geelani's passport was seized in 1981 due to accusations of "anti-India" activities. With the exception of his Hajj pilgrimage in 2006, he has not been allowed to leave India.[needs update][32] He was diagnosed with renal cancer, and advised treatment from abroad in the same year. On the then Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's intervention, the government returned Geelani's passport to his son.[33] In 2007, his condition worsened,[34] although in the early stages of the cancer, it was life-threatening and surgery was advised. Geelani was set to travel to either the UK or the United States.[35] However, his visa request was rejected by the American government citing his violent approach in Kashmir conflict and he went to Mumbai for surgery. His supporters and family alleged that this was a "human rights violation".[36]
On 6 March 2014, Geelani fell ill with a severe chest infection, shortly after returning to his home in Srinagar.[37] He has been under house arrest for most of the time since 2010,[38] and was put under house arrest again on his return.[39] In May 2015, Geelani applied for passport to visit his daughter in Saudi Arabia. The Indian government withheld it citing technical reasons, including the fact that he deliberately failed to fill in the nationality column required in the application.[40][41] On 21 July, the Government granted him a passport on humanitarian grounds, with a validity of nine months, after Geelani acknowledged his nationality as an Indian.[42][43]
Death rumour
On 12 March 2014, rumors of Geelani's death, spread by edits to his Wikipedia entry, "a particular Hindi news channel", and pages on Facebook led the government of Kashmir to suspend internet and phone service, according to some sources.[44][45][46] However, the then Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that the failures had nothing to do with Geelani's health and were due to a snapped power line as well as an optical fibre cut due to heavy snowfall, which left most of the valley without power. The cuts in Internet service, hours after a statement by Hurriyat that Geelani would be flown to New Delhi for medical treatment, were blamed for spreading the rumours.[47][48][49]
FEMA case
After the 2019 Pulwama attack, India took stronger action against pro-Pakistan separatists including Geelani. The Enforcement Directorate levied a penalty of ₹14.40 lakh and ordered confiscation of nearly ₹6.8 lakh in connection with a FEMA case against him for illegal possession of foreign exchange.[50]
In February 2014 he said prisoners in Kashmir "are the victims of custodial violence and are harassed in Indian Jails especially in Tihar Jail" after an incident where parents of Javaid Ahmad Khan, serving a life sentence, "had travelled thousands of kilometres and invested a lot of money to reach Delhi to meet their jailed son but oppressors denied them a meeting with him. "This is state terrorism", he said.[51]
He is viewed as sympathetic to Jamat-e-Islami.[52] His official residence was viewed as Jamat property before he donated it to the Milli Trust.[53]
Geelani calls Islamist leader and founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami, Abul A'la Maududi as his mentor.
In November 2011, Geelani called for peaceful protests against the alleged "objectionable anti-Islamic" content on the social networking website Facebook, which he described as a "satanic audacity". His call triggered protests in various parts of the Kashmir valley, leading to minor clashes between the protestors and the security forces.[54]
Geelani condemned the killing of Osama Bin Laden by the US.[55] After Bin Laden's death in May 2011, Geelani said that he will lead last rite prayers in absentia in Srinagar for the slain al-Qaeda leader.[56][57] After holding prayers for Osama in congregation of thousands of Kashmiris, a European Union delegation snubbed Geelani by cancelling a scheduled meeting with him.[58][59][60] He further supported 2001 Indian Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru[61] and one of 2008 Mumbai Attacks mastermind and Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed.[62]
Geelani says that while Pakistan supported "the indigenous struggle of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, morally, diplomatically and politically ... this does not mean Pakistan can take a decision on our behalf."[1]
Geelani would only support a dialogue process aimed at resolving Kashmir issue in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of the people of the state. But he believes that dialogue between India and Pakistan starts under diplomatic compulsions, and it is nothing but just a time delaying tactics. He is of the opinion that Kashmirs are not enemies of India or hold any grudge against its inhabitants. We are desirous of a strong India and Pakistan and it is only possible when Kashmir issue is resolved to pave the way for peace, prosperity and development in the region.[63]
He said, "Kashmir is not any border dispute between India and Pakistan which they can solve by bilateral understandings. It is the issue concerning future of 15 million people. The Hurriyat is not in principle against a dialogue process but without involvement of Kashmiri people, such a process has proved meaningless in the past. We don't have any expectations of it being fruitful in future too."[64] He further stated, "India should immediately and unconditionally release political prisoners, and withdraw cases against youth, which are pending in the courts for the past 20 years."[65]
Separatism and relations with Pakistan
Geelani has been repeatedly criticised by Indian authorities for inciting violence in the region and working as offshoot of Pakistan.[1][66] Geelani says openly that he is not Indian. "Travelling on the Indian passport is a compulsion of every Kashmiri as Kashmir is an Internationally accepted Disputed region between India and Pakistan" are his words when applying for Indian Passport.[67][68][69] "We are Pakistani; Pakistan is ours,"[70] he said in a big gathering of his supporters.
Sheikh Mustafa Kamal, a senior leader of Jammu & Kashmir National Conference and son of Sheikh Abdullah criticised Geelani for working on "dictations" given by Pakistan. He accused Geelani of being "a double agent" on "the payroll of Pakistan's ISI".[71][72][73]
Pakistan also openly supported Geelani, the three-member delegation from Pakistan High Commission led by Abdul Basit met Geelani at his Malviya Nagar residence in March 2015, Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit assured Geelani of complete support conveying that the country's stand on Kashmir remains unchanged despite regime change in New Delhi.[66][74][75][76] Basit also invited Geelani for Pakistan Day function on 23 March. Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, ritually invites pro-separatist leadership of Jammu and Kashmir.

In India itself, Bose reports that the media are largely self-censoring with regards to the Kashmir conflict. The main media outlets have made no serious attempt to present a balanced account of the issue. The general coverage is very pro-government. The government is primarily concerned with regulating and limiting the flow of information to the Indian public on the conflict, and media stories critical of government's policies can provoke a serious reaction. One journalist from the Times of India filed a story highlighting abuse of the electoral system in Kashmir-reporting that large numbers of people were forced to vote at gunpoint. As the editors were absent, the story was included in the following day's issue. The journalist was recalled immediately from Kashmir by the paper and then forced to write a follow-up story denying the claims made in the previous piece. Thus, while there is no official censorship, self-censorship combined with occasional government pressure, results in very biased and controlled coverage of the conflict.

A few friends recently invited me to join them for a long weekend in Los Cabos, Mexico. It was the ultimate in ease. One of my friends made the reservations; all I had to do was show up and enjoy. That I can do!
We split our nights between Las Ventanas, a beautiful resort on the Sea of Cortéz, and Todos Santos, a slow-paced beach town about an hour up the Pacific Coast. During my two days at Las Ventanas, I didn't leave the property. I had everything I needed. But for my time in Todos Santos,
I wanted to explore. I had been intrigued by our story about Todos Santos in the March/April issue of AFAR, which highlighted the vibrant culinary scene.
Except I didn't bring the issue with me. And my memory isn't what it used to be. But I did have my laptop, which meant that all I had to do was go to AFAR.com and search for Todos Santos. There was the art gallery I had faintly remembered from our story, and the café that serves locally roasted coffee in its garden patio. Even if I hadn't brought my laptop, I could have found these great ideas on AFAR's mobile app, which works seamlessly with the site.

But I found even more than magazine content on AFAR.com. Our most passionate travelers had shared Highlights with great photos and descriptions, including Casa Tota, a hotel with an honor bar next to its rooftop Jacuzzi. What had begun as a vague recollection of a page in a magazine was now an exciting itinerary of many places to go and things to do.
I realize I'm biased. But as I sat on the rooftop at Casa Tota sipping margaritas with my friends after a day of exploring the treasures I'd found on AFAR.com, I reflected on how exciting this was for me as a traveler. I no longer had to tear pages out of my favorite magazine and hope to find them when I really needed to. I now had access to hundreds of Highlights from the pages of AFAR, plus more—12,000, at last count—posted by travelers like me.
I urge you to go to AFAR.com, to download our mobile app, and to get inspired, plan a trip, and record and share your discoveries. It's an amazing way to travel deeper.
Good travels,
Greg Sullivan

Cricket netting is most commonly used in cricket practice facilities with the aim of containing the ball within the facility. This not only serves to save time – as players and coaches are not continually having to retrieve balls – but also enhances safety of spectators, passers-by and those in adjacent lanes in the case of multi-lane practice systems.
There are various standards and specifications of cricket netting on the market – ranging from basic, cheap cricket nets through those constructed from higher grade, more durable materials. When selecting cricket netting it is important to consider where the netting will be used – i.e. for an indoor cricket practice facility or an outdoor cricket practice facility. Outdoor cricket nets will need to be capable of withstanding changing weather conditions, whilst for many indoor cricket practice facilities – especially those that need to be retractable to allow the space to be used for other sports – their being easy to put out and stow away is just as important.
In either case, however, the cricket netting needs to provide a suitable barrier to prevent balls passing through even when flying at speed. This means that the mesh size needs to be significantly smaller than the size of a cricket ball and the material itself needs to be of a sufficient density to stop the ball. Another thing to consider is how the netting will be fitted to the system as the tension of the netting is nearly as important in its success as a ball stop structure as its mesh size and construction – if a net is not well tensioned balls may still escape through gaps at the top and bottom of the netting sheet. For this reason, total-play Ltd developed its HD Protection Tunnel cricket netting system which forms a 'cocoon' of netting around each lane and is fitted with tension wires to the framework; ensuring there are no gaps for errant balls to escape through.
Batting curtains are another popular element of cricket practice net facilities. Often constructed of canvas sheets or nylon mesh and most commonly white in colour, they serve not only to protect the cricket netting from abrasion and repeated impacts but Minimises distractions for a batsman from what's happening in neighbouring lanes, whilst still allowing coaches to interact from the sides if necessary. Curtains behind the batsman can also help the bowler pick up a driven ball better, making for a safer facility. Canvas or solid PVCU batting curtains are available on the market, but as they are of solid construction can cause problems in high winds and even lead to damage on system netting and steelwork. For this reason, nylon mesh cricket batting curtains, which allow air to pass through, are far better suited to use in windy areas.
