ShowGrow: Showing Nevada How It's Done
Hailing from Southern California, ShowGrow has locations in Orange County, Downtown Los Angeles, and San Diego. Their Las Vegas branch is their first nationwide expansion project, and they hope to bring the same California standard to the Nevada market.
With locations in Santa Ana, Ramona, and Las Vegas; ShowGrow carries products that are suited for every patient, including flower, concentrates, edibles, vape cartridges, and much more.
ShowGrow has carved a niche out in the cannabis industry for their brand by televising, in real time, all the action going on in the brand's cultivation facility. Aside from debuting their inner workings to the public on a live feed, they also source only the highest-quality strains from reputable local sources. Cultivators such as Cannabiotix, Polaris and AMA provide diverse inventory and offer the most potent, affordable strains in the state of Nevada to ShowGrow's doors.
By collaborating with Cannavative, Moxie, Cannabiotix, and Dixie; ShowGrow has hosted symposiums on product education that are free for patients and non-patients alike. Their goal is to spread awareness about the medicinal properties of medical marijuana to the public.
ShowGrow attends non-cannabis events, like Bite of Las Vegas, to inform the non-ganja using populace of cannabis benefits; and to reach an audience that might be feeling pressured by the sudden emergence of a host of dispensaries in their community.
What really keeps patients coming back to ShowGrow is their loyalty program that all first-time patients are automatically signed up for. When they have achieved "Platinum-level status", patients receive 10% everything: for life! Additionally, ShowGrow offers a daily "buy-one-get-one free" special on eighths of at least one strain.

What Height Do I Hang My Grow Light For Cannabis Growing?
Grow Light Hang Height for Cannabis:
The most frequent question I get from cannabis growers -- by far -- is the question of what height they should hang their grow light at. The short answer is "it depends," but I hope to explain the deciding factors below.
I get this question not only from new cannabis growers sprouting seedlings, but also from concerned growers who are afraid their plants are stretching too much mid-grow, and are starting to wonder if they hung their grow light correctly.
Most grow light manufacturers provide a recommended hanging height, but these are only estimates, and are not always applicable to every situation. These recommended heights are available on the manufacturer's website and usually on the website you purchased the grow light from.
The Lazy Method For Determining Grow Light Height:
I'm about to lay out a slightly complicated step by step process to figure out exactly how much intensity your grow light is providing at its current height, and then compare that to how much light your plants actually need. If you don't want to read through all that, I advise you use the lazy method:
Generally speaking, LED grow lights can be kept at 22-24 inches during the seedling phase of growth (first 3 weeks), and 18-22 inches during the vegetative and flowering phases. Lean higher if the light is powerful, lower if it's not too powerful of a grow light.
HPS grow lights are a bit more tricky because the height requirement can vary widely depending on the power level. During the vegetative and flowering phases HPS lights can hang at the following heights:
|HPS Grow Light Height (at full power):
|3ft (seedling); 2ft (veg/flower)
|3-3.5ft (seedling); 2.75ft -- 3ft (veg/flower)
|4ft (seedling); 3ft -- 3.5ft (veg/flower)
|4.5ft (seedling); 3 -- 3.5ft (veg/flower)
|5ft (seedling); 4-4.5ft (veg/flower)
That's it. If the leaves start to curl upwards they're probably heat stressed (too close). If the plants are stretching, you can probably move the light closer.
Keep reading for the more precise answer.
Use The Inverse Square Law To Help Determine Grow Light Intensity At A Specified Distance From Your Plants:
The inverse square law is a physics law that can help you to determine how intense your grow light is at a specified distance from your plants. All you need to know is the number of Lux emitted by your grow light at a certain distance.
The inverse square law also helps you understand how grow light intensity changes from distance to distance.
The mathematical formula is Intensity = Light Output/Distance².
You only need to know one intensity reading at one distance to determine another intensity reading at another distance.
For example, if the manufacturer states that their 1000w HPS grow light emits 140,000 lux at a 1ft distance from the light, but doesn't give you any other measurement, that may not help if you need to grow seedlings that'll be burned by 140,000 Lux. But you can determine the light intensity at other grow light heights by using the law of inverse squares:
If 140,000/1 foot ² = 140,000 Lux,
Then 140,000/2 feet ² = 35,000 Lux.
And 140,000/3 feet ² = 15,555.55 Lux.
The law of inverse squares helps you understand the rate at which light intensity changes for each distance from the light source. The examples show that light intensity is much more sensitive to distance than you might think.
Likewise, if your 140,000 Lux HPS grow light has the capability to dim at 25% increments, then the formula would look like this:
140,000 Lux At 75% power at 1 foot distance: (140,000 *0.75)/1 foot ² = 105,000 Lux
140,000 Lux at 75% power at 2 foot distance: (140,000 *0.75)/2 foot ² = 26,250 Lux
140,000 Lux at 50% power at 1 foot distance: (140,000 *0.50)/1 foot ² = 70,000 Lux
140,000 Lux at 50% power at 2 foot distance: (140,000 *0.50)/2 foot ² = 17,500 Lux
Answer These Questions To Determine A Proper Grow Light Height:
If you don't want to use the inverse squares law or manufacturer recommended height, there are a few main questions to answer in order to figure out the proper grow light height for your grow space. You need to Measure, Convert and Compare.
What amount of light intensity do your plants receive at each height?
For LED Grow Lights:
You need to figure out (roughly) how much light your plants are receiving, and compare that number to what they should be receiving.
The easiest way to do this is by using a Lux meter. Unlike PAR meters they're very inexpensive. You don't need a PAR meter because you already know the light is within the PAR spectrum range.
Purchase a Lux meter and measure how much Lux your plants are receiving at the current distance from your grow light.
Then measure the number of Lux and convert it using the Waveform Lighting calculator. Insert the number of Lux, then select Red + Blue + White LED, and run the calculation. You'll end up with a light intensity number measured as umol/second.
How many micromoles of light do cannabis plants need during each growth phase?"
- Plants in the seedling phase require between 200-300 uMol/second.
- Plants in the vegetative phase receiving 18 hours of light should receive between 306 and 617 uMol/second.
- Plants in the flowering phase receiving 12 hours of light should receive between 460 and 925 uMol/second.
If your plants are currently receiving light intensity within the above range, you do not need to adjust the height of your grow light. Below this range would require moving the grow light closer to the plants. Above this range would require moving the grow light further away from the plants.
Remember, higher light intensity = higher yields. To read more about PPFD and light intensity levels required to grow cannabis, read my full article on the topic here.
For CMH and HPS Grow Lights:
People using CMH or HPS grow lights ask me about Lux and what Lux intensity is good for plants.
Here's my advice for people using CMH or HPS grow lights: Purchase a Lux meter and measure how much lux the plants are receiving at each height.
Next, you need to convert your Lux reading to micromoles. Luckily, Apogee Instruments, the manufacturer of the light intensity meter created a conversion table for converting Lux to micromoles.
At 50,000 lux, a double ended HPS grow light emits 650 uMols of light per second and about 28 Moles of light during a 12 hour flowering light cycle, or 42 moles of light during an 18 hour vegetative phase light cycle.
That's more or less on target with what cannabis plants need to grow. So if you're getting this reading from your HPS light at 30 inch hang height, you're in a good position. Close to or below 20 moles and you'll want to lower the lamp until you reach a number up to 40 moles.
Here's the math: (Your Lux reading * .013 Lux to PPFD conversion rate * 60 seconds in one minute * 60 minutes per hour * hours in your light cycle = Moles of light per day).
Is your CMH or HPS grow light intensity within this range?
- Plants in the seedling phase require between 200-300 uMol/second.
- Plants in the vegetative phase receiving 18 hours of light should receive between 306 and 617 uMol/second.
- Plants in the flowering phase receiving 12 hours of light should receive between 460 and 925 uMol/second.
If your plants are currently receiving light intensity within the above range, you do not need to adjust the height of your grow light. Below this range would require moving the grow light closer to the plants. Above this range would require moving the grow light further away from the plants.
Remember, higher light intensity = higher yields. To read more about PPFD and light intensity levels required to grow cannabis, read my full article on the topic here.
Every grow light's intensity at a given height is different, that's why you need to determine these numbers by looking at the manufacturer provided chart or by using a Lux meter. If every grow light was the same, I'd be able to tell everybody to hang their light "xx inches from the plants."
If your grow light is within the above mentioned range, there's a good chance it's hanging at the right level. But there are two more questions to answer to determine what height to hang your grow light.
Is your grow light dimmable?
If your grow light is dimmable, you may be able to dim the light instead of adjusting the light's distance from your plants. Again, the most critical aspect of this whole process is having a Lux meter handy so you can measure, convert and compare the light intensity levels to the actual light intensity levels your plants need to grow.
If your grow light is dimmable, you can usually adjust the light intensity via a screw or knob on the ballasts.
When Should You Adjust Your Grow Light Height?
Growing too close to your grow light:
When your plants mature and grow closer to your grow light, you'll need to either dim the light or adjust the height. If you don't adjust the height or dim it, you'll risk burning your plants.
Heat Stress:
You need to adjust your grow light height if your plants are heat stressed, or if your plants appear to be stretching.
Heat stressed leaves appear to be curling upwards towards the light:
Immediately increase the distance between your grow light and your plants if you see this happening.
Stretched Plants:
Stretched plants happen when they don't receive enough light, so the plant attempts to grow larger to get closer to the light source. Genetics can play a role as well, but if you notice this happening, you should move your grow lights closer to your plants immediately.
While this is an extreme example, ideally cannabis plant node spacing should be as tight as possible. If you experience significant stretching, you'll likely need to top the plant to prevent it from growing too large.
Another Video About Grow Light Hang Height:
Good Luck!
The proper grow light height depends on the power of your grow light. A low power grow light needs to be closer to plants than a high power light. The plant's phase of growth also plays a factor. Generally speaking LED grow lights can hang between 16 and 24 inches. HPS lights need to hang at 36 or even 48 inches depending on the power output.
Yes, as the plant gets closer to the light it receives more intense light and you risk burning the plant unless you adjust your grow light height.

As of 9am 25 people have been confoirmed dead in the Victorian fires and they think it may rise to 40...
I just feel so sad for the people involved. i can not comprehend what they are going through.
From Nine news today
The death toll from the Victorian bushfires has risen to 25, police said today.
"I can confirm that we now have 25 people dead at this point in time," Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe said.PHOTOS: Fatal inferno
Mr Walshe told reporters late Saturday that 14 people had been confirmed dead, with fears that the toll could rise above 40.
"Our concern is still... that we believe numbers will rise as we get further into the fire zones this morning," Mr Walshe told the Nine Network on Sunday morning.
Most of the bodies were discovered in towns northeast of Melbourne - six at Kinglake, six at Kinglake West, four at Wandong and St Andrews, three at Humevale, and one each in Arthurs Creek and Bendigo.
At least six bodies were found in the one car at Kinglake, with reports that others may have been trying to escape the fire in cars.
Children are believed to be among the dead. But police have so far been unable to confirm the gender or ages of the victims.
Mr Walshe said he feared the death toll would be much higher.
"At this stage, to have 25 confirmed deceased, that gives me great concern that the numbers are going to get substantially higher as the day goes on, as we're able to get into the fire zones behind the fires to do those searches," he said.
He said earlier that police would undertake a more thorough search of burnt-out properties on Sunday with the fire in the area under control and cooler conditions.
Police spokesman Senior Constable Wayne Wilson said the clarification on a final death toll would take time.
"We've got to go through these places in the daylight, where we can search them properly," he told ABC Radio.
"These sort of situations it does take time for clarification to come through... particularly when you are dealing with death.
"We do it as quickly as we can but we've got to do it in a methodical and accurate way."
Meanwhile, 18 people have been admitted to Melbourne's Alfred Hospital with burns and three are in a critical condition.
Seven of the injured have burns to more than 30 per cent of their bodies.

I am stunned. It's just too awful to contemplate.
And then on the back of the bushfire reports, we see footage of the Queensland floods.

Is this common over there? We get fires every year here in the western US - and they're getting worse, thanks to the decades of fire suppression that have turned the forests into large piles of tinder. But even with all that experience we're still at a loss as how to actually predict or control a fire once it gets going. And having actually been chased by a forest fire once, I can attest that it is in fact terrifying. Sounds like y'all are having a terrible summer. Hope it cools down soon.

Well as of this evening, I think the human life lost in Victoria is up to 65+ and there are at least 70 in hospital with burns, some of whom are not expected to survive-- and that's just the human toll small in comparison to the stock and the wildlife.
Fire is terrifying, truly terrifying. I looked around my home on the escarpment at Medlow in 2001 a few days after a major fire, it was unrecognisable. I got lost going on a bushwalk I'd taken every morning because aside from the charred ground it was completely featureless. I was very upset, but prompted by a few friends, soon saw that the fire was cleansing and rejuvenating and that life is truly resilient and just keeps popping up everywhere. But I have never been as scared or stressed as I was when fires were dancing in the gullies just off the escarpment, threatening to dash up the hill, which of course, they eventually did.

Islam is evil because it openly advocates, in the name of anti-god allah, permission to murder, slavery, r@pe, and betrayal.
Muslims who read fictional writings in terrorism manual, koran, take Islam seriously and thus hate non-muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Christians. Muslims (mlecchas) engage in barbarism and deceitful activities to somehow fulfill their one-point agenda of converting people into their evil cult, islam. Non-muslims who think that moderate muslims (who are not terrorists) are good people are actually white-washing the sins of muslims (mlecchas) ignorantly. The dirty acts actually reveal the truth that 100% muslims are against any harmony among people and hate non-muslims from the core of their hearts.

- 1.1 Anti-Human Acts of Common Muslims Towards Hindus, Christians and Sikhs
How and Why Muslims Hate Non-Muslims While Deceiving Them In Their Evil Acts
The World knows this truth. Terrorism manual, Koran, is responsible for Jihad. Some excerpts: "Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know" (e.g., 2:216, 9:38). The Koran explicitly and repeatedly commands Muslims to "kill the unbelievers wherever you find them" (e.g., 2:191, 9:5), "strike off their heads" (e.g., 8:12, 47:4), "make sex slaves of their wives and daughters" (e.g., 4:24, 33:50), and continue this jihad "until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah" (e.g., 8:39, 9:29).
Anti-Human Acts of Common Muslims Towards Hindus, Christians and Sikhs
Muslims spit in water and food while giving it to non-Muslim guests
They offer juices mixed with their saliva EVEN in Muharram. DO NOT EAT FOODS IN MUSLIM RESTAURANTS. INCIDENTS ARE REPORTED WORLD OVER THAT THEY SECRETLY MIX SALIVA IN FOOD BEFORE SERVING TO NON-MUSLIMS. Never Eat in muslim house, whatever they offer.
Muslims offer food (secretly mixed with beef, cow or buffalo flesh) to non-muslims
Never eat meat served by muslims in feast or as Bakri-Id offerings.
Muslims think if they deceivingly serve contaminated food (so called haraam ) to non-muslims, then it will help them in converting non-muslims easily to evil cult, islam.
Muslims hate pet lovers and especially keepers of cow and dog
Whenever they see owners with their pets, they use choicest, foul language towards them.
Most of them hate dogs, so they abuse and curse pet lovers.
Muslims offer halaal meat
Muslims deceptively offer meat of an animal whose neck is half-sliced very slowly, letting the animal die in deep pain. The brutal act is done to allow the blood flow out completely from the body of an animal.
They use anti-god words 'Bismillah wa Allahu Akbar' while slicing the animal and think that they are making halaal meat from haraam animals with the brutal act of killing them. Muslims also mix cow/beef/buffalo meat with chicken and serve them to non-Muslims so it is advisable to avoid eating in muslim hotels, houses and invitations.
Muslims consider preservatives unholy, they avoid alcohol, acidic elements as haaram so they eat stale food and serve the same unhygienic food to others.

Muslims are Racist, consider non-muslims and idol worshipers as Kafirs
Muslims dislike non-muslims because of their faiths on different gods.
Muslims believe in slavery and spreading the enslavement among non-believers. There is no specific term for non-believers (who have different faiths) in any religion or Hindu dharma but in evil islam, there is one peculiar term Kafir. From the inception itself, islam drew separate lines among muslims and non-muslims. Muslims believe that every human should worship Allah, those who do not they should be forced, killed or converted to islam to accept anti-god Allah's enslavement.
Muslim Families Engage in Love Jihad Activities
Muslims hate non-muslim girls so much that they think these girls are mere s*x and fun objects sent to them by anti-god Allah. Killing, converting and forcing others to islamic fold means ticket to heaven for muslims. This farce theory of koran is also responsible for the advancement of Love Jihad across the globe. Though muslims are adamant to marry off their own girls with muslim boys only. They are open to lure innocent non-muslim girls, to make them second or third wife or s*x object. Since the main target of each muslim is to islamize the world, so following koran, converting a non-muslim girl into their cult by any means would give a slot in the heaven. In a bid to get a non-muslim girl in their household, relatives of the islamic boy keenly involve in coaxing the girl – sister befriends the girl, mother serves her halaal food, father gifts the girl enticing her to be his daughter-like; persuading her until she gives in and converts to islam. By the time girl realizes her grave mistake, its too late for her, her life becomes a living hell, being slave wife (2nd wife onward) of evil muslim family. Love Jihad is reality and has become global nuisance.

Muslims feel pride in demolishing Structures and Temples
Muslims convey their animosity by destroying religious structures of non-muslims and Dharmis. The inventor and founder of terrorism (jihad) mohammed advised muslims to demolish structures of idol worshipers – Hindu temples, Sikh gurudwaras and Christian churches. Taking koran as words of anti-god Allah, several mughal rulers in India demolished over 90,000 major temples – Aurangzeb alone demolished over 60,000 major temples while killing millions of Hindus. These terrorist mughal rulers infiltrated holy places of Hindus and built anti-god mosques in all such places – Ram Janm Bhoomi in Ayodhya, Kashi Vishwanath in Benaras, Shree Krishna Mandir, Mathura. While these muslims banned non-muslims from visiting controversial mecca/madina, the hypocrite wicked muslims were quick to enter holy cities of Hindus and encroach their structures to make tombs, mosques and anti-god buildings over them.
Muslims Accumulate and Over Populate The Places They Reside
There goes the saying that its not just virus who multiply fast, muslims have tendency to compete with virus.
To establish their own regime within small places of countries; muslims gather and choose the place they want to over populate so that they are free to carry out their anti-god rituals. Such places are almost not governed by local govt and municipal authorities. The shops remain open whole night, fridays are observed as holidays, roads are encroached for 5 times anti-god prayers. Muslims hate non-muslims to such an extent that they create silos within cities and never sell or rent properties to Hindus or Christians in these places. Imams and muslim clerics make announcements in mosques and suggest them to over-populate the places and establish several mini islamic states within state. These places eventually become terrorist hide-outs since they are fully under grip of fanatic muslims.
Muslims Disrespect National Flags, Are Primitive and Not Patriots
Muslims are hostile towards non-islamic countries. Though they reside, earn livelihood and establish career in such countries but still they keep their cult above patriotism. There is NEVER flag hoisting in any muslim locality. They never sing national anthem. They never feel proud of local culture and rituals of the country. They show open resentment when non-islamic festivals are celebrated.
Islam has concept of Ummah and Darul islam, it does not believe in nationalism and democracy. It has strong views that world belongs to allah and muslims. That is why no muslim is patriot in all non-islamic countries of his residence.
Muslims (mlecchas) always respect their cresent moon/star islamic flag over national flags. They are highly intolerant on women freedom in terms of education, job and development. They think non-muslims; Hindus, Christians and Sikhs are committing sin by allowing freedom of speech to women. This is also one of the reason that they strongly dislike non-muslims for.
Muslims Never Stage Protests Against Terrorists
Muslims cunningly disguise to the public that terrorists are not muslims. They give concocted theory of tolerant muslims, while they carry out all activities prescribed against non-muslims in evil koran.
Muslims (mlecchas) never help government and agencies in nabbing suspects. They never stage violent protests against these terrorists. They never declare fatwa against terrorist organizations, neither they support governments in banning terrorist organizations. Muslims crib about their minority status and avail all the facilities offered by governments, but when they are in majority, they deny the same facilities to Hindus and Christians. Recent bomb blasts in non-muslim populated areas across India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are examples of intolerance and fanaticism of muslims.
Common muslims deny any connection with terrorists but they are very quick to file mercy petitions for these terrorists. If they have no connection, then why show brother-like sympathy towards terrorists – Recent mercy petitions filed for terrorist Afzal Guru, Pakistani Kasab, Mohammed, Yasin Bhatkal are prime examples of muslims expressing solidarity towards terrorism. These muslims never oppose their terrorist activities instead adding insult to injury act expeditiously to keep them alive.

List of Anti-India Terroristed Protected by Pakistani Muslims (click to enlarge image)
May 2, 2011, is the date which is considered as vengeance day by US. But this is the same day when mosques around the world offer condolence prayers to the death of terrorist Osama Bin Laden. If muslims really are against terrorism then why they do not object to such prayers. Why they offer prayers on the death of an evil beast. Shallow words deceit people but actions speak louder than words, and action of muslims time and again prove that they hate non-muslims because they support acts of killing non-muslims while overtly sympathizing with terrorists. Hard punishments to terrorists, controlling spread of muslim population while keeping close eyes on them is the only method to curb the islamic menace and invoke world peace.

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. - Fall weather has returned to the St. Louis region. With the oppressive heat early in the fall season, local pumpkin patches have seen less business. Spring, summer, and fall impacted Thies Farm in Maryland Heights.
The normal pumpkin field was flooded earlier in the year thanks to the heavy spring rain. They had to use different land to grow the pumpkins, a bit further away. In the end, the crop did well and there are plenty of pumpkins to choose from. So far this year, Andrew Welle has noticed less business at the farm due to the heat, but he's hoping the cooler weather will help them bounce back.
With the normal pumpkin field now dry, Welle hopes to bring pumpkins out to the field so kids and families can pick their own pumpkins from the field, the traditional style.

"Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying 'Hail, King of the Jews!' And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him." (Matthew 27: 27-31).
How uncomfortable that must have been. To be stripped, mocked, spit on, stabbed, and crucified for all to see. Jesus could have gotten out of this at any point. He chose not to on my behalf and yours. He chose to remain in this uncomfortable place so that the scriptures would be fulfilled, God's promises kept, and our sins fully forgiven. We say grace and relationship with him are now free, but then we minimize how much it cost him to make that happen.
3 days go by. God raises Jesus from the dead as he promises. Jesus tells his disciples to meet him in Galilee. And this is what He proclaims, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matt 28:18-20). I am with you always. To the end of the age. What a strong promise I cling to daily.
Why I am sharing this when it is suppose to be an update on how our first trip to Uganda went? Because this is the "why" behind us going. Your "why" should compel you every day. Whats yours?
Being in Uganda made me uncomfortable. I have lived in Maryland, USA, for over 23 years now. I learned how to drive when I was 15 and have been doing so ever since. If I need food, there has always been a grocery store a few miles away with anything I could ever need. Healthcare has always been available to me– Johns Hopkins is right down the road from where I grew up. Coffee is abundant. So is basically everything here in America. My family is here. My friends are here. My comfort is here.
This trip reminded me of all of that. Everything in Uganda is new to me. Everything is different. I don't know if I will ever drive on those roads! I'm not going to call up my best friend to meet her for coffee. Goodbye air conditioning. Hello bugs I have never seen before. The list goes on, but mainly: Hello to a deeper dependence on the Lord and deeper knowledge of what he did for me, and what it means to be his disciple.
"If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison–your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters–yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26).
"As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, 'I will follow you wherever you go.' Jesus replied, 'Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.' He said to another man, 'Follow me.' But he replied, 'Lord, first let me go and bury my father.' Jesus said to him, 'Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.' Still another said, 'I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.' Jesus replied, 'No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.'" (Luke 9:57-62).
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'" (Matt 16:24).
These are HARD commands. In my comfort zone, it's really easy not to deny myself. Walking through Target…"Ok I will deny myself this purse, but getting this hat! I'll put it on my cross and lets go!" Jk… but sometimes it be like that. I've denied myself sex before marriage. Time that could've been spent by myself doing my own thing has been spent with teenage girls from my church. My reputation that could've been higher with partying or high fashion or language or whatever…you can fill in the blank…denied to follow Jesus' actions instead. But never to this amount have I denied myself. And I say this as a very personal thing, not to be compared. But, to deny myself the comfort of home, of America, of family and friends, of material things and safety– this has given me a new perspective and gratefulness for all that Jesus has done for me.
He never said following him would be easy. Yet, wow, it is worth it. "But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.'" ( 1 Corinthians 2:9). So we press on towards the hope of heaven, the hope of ETERNITY with him.
Now…how was our trip? It was great! Above is me processing how I was feeling with this bittersweet taste of what life will be like the next 2 years. With all of that, Ben and I are so excited.
The Amazima staff and students welcomed us SO WELL. Literally we heard multiple times, "You're so welcome here!" We stayed with Mac & Zach for the first 5 days and became FAST friends. They are hilarious and so much fun to be with. We would come home from a long day around 10pm, and say we are going to pass out, then stay up until 1am talking and laughing together. They took us to the village of Buzika where we rode our first boda boda, which was fun…and hard to do in a dress. (Boda's are a main source of transportation in Uganda and they are basically motorcycles.) They also took us into town, showed us main street and all the hot spots, showed us where to go grocery shopping, and where get produce.
Afterwards, we stayed with Danlyn and Kelly Miller, the Dean of Student life. They blessed us big time with a meal and dreaming more about Amazima's future. We also shared meals with the Bookers' and the Caseys', the other current house parents. It was very life-giving to Ben and I. Hanging out with the Amazima Student Life team felt similar to when you take upper level courses in your major, or master program– it's like everyone is passionate about similar topics and interested in learning more with you each day.
Our favorite part was listening to the students worship God in their native tongue: Luganda. And then also worshipping to contemporary songs like Good Good Father. That one got me in the heart strings hard. Hearing 72 students declare they have a good heavenly Father, knowing that I can count on one hand how many of them have a good and present earthly father. That is the power of the gospel!
Ben and I are even more excited about moving now, and so glad we did this preliminary trip to help us prepare for January. It was a great reminder that this will be very challenging, but also very rewarding. Thank you to everyone at Amazima who came around us and cared for us so well. And thank you to all of our supporters for helping send us financially and covering us in prayer! We love you guys!
Prayer Requests:
- Please continue to pray for our 24 boys that we will build relationship with in the next 2 years. Pray for trust to be formed and unity within our house.
- Pray for our future Ugandan Family Mentor Partner. We will most likely be paired with a male partner since we will be a boy house. Pray for our relationship to be one of mutual honor and respect, and that we would work well together to serve the students and the Lord.
- Pray for my dad as his health continues to struggle, and my mom as she works full time and cares for him. Pray that they would be filled with God's love, comfort, peace, and strength. That God would provide people to surround them with encouragement and support during this time.
- Pray for Ben's neck to heal! He got burned by a Nairobi fly. They're the size of a large ant, and they don't bite or sting, but their guts are more poisonous than a cobra's venom. If you kill them on your skin, they will burn you. Ben did without even knowing it! He is doing a lot better though, and is in no pain 🙂
Praise Reports:
- We are under contract on our house! The DAY before leaving for Uganda we went under contract. Closing date is November 21st. PTL.
- We had an amazing and eye-opening trip to Uganda with smooth flights, and no luggage issues. Although I was nauseous the E N T I R E time traveling … 😀
- We are 76% funded to move in January! Thank you all so so much!!! If you'd like to be apart of Team Dougli and fill in that last 24% : HERE IS OUR SUPPORT PAGE. You can also support us (win-win) by joining our Young Living Essential Oils community. Each Starter Kit purchased from me is discounted from $320 to $160! And $50 of that goes towards our move to Uganda. Message me for details or questions!
- God is alive and active, and oh so good.
Okay, that's all for now. Thanks for keeping up with us.
Lots of LOVE,
Ben & Lo

Flying Trout at Lake Jennings
Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a fish! It's an osprey with a trout!
Anglers are not the only ones trying to skim the surface of freshwater lakes or saltwater oceans in search of fish. Any angler who drops a line into the water with any regularity knows they are competing with birds to make a catch of any sort.
On March 19 wildlife photographer and angler Billy Ortiz caught two ospreys fighting with each other over a trout at Lake Jennings. An osprey took flight with a trout in tow (pictured) before another osprey reportedly flew in and forced the catch loose.
Ortiz, a 57-year resident of Lakeside and veteran angler at San Diego County's many lakes, took his grandson to Lake Jennings in mid-March and had the right camera to capture wildlife in action.
"They had just stocked 1,000 pounds of trout so we were excited to catch fish," Ortiz explained in an email. "I am an advocate of wildlife and environment here in Lakeside so I always carry my Canon 60D and just happened to be taking some shots of the many fish we could see in the water. As I looked up, an osprey carrying a trout was coming right at us, I snapped a couple shots and then watched as it crossed over the top of the dock we were on.
"Out of nowhere another osprey swooped down out of the sky and caused the osprey with the fish to drop it," Ortiz added.
The angler and wildlife photographer added the Lake Jennings area is regularly populated with Osprey.
"This scene plays over all year around at Lake Jennings, I have counted as many as 13 Osprey here at one time. Along with osprey there is also a resident Falcon and every now and then Bald Eagles come to feast on the trout," Ortiz said.

He wasn't the first person to complete the circumnavigation, or even the second - but he was determined to make it a triumphant third. Stuart's adventure was to be done on a shoestring, with no support team and a powerful belief in the philosophy of Do-It-Yourself, albeit with the kindness and help of the many people he met along the way. This single-handed journey would see him face extraordinary challenges, including the non-stop crossing of mighty 200-kilometre cliff formations, huge seas, dangerous surf, sleeping whales, inquisitive sharks, large crocodiles and the sheer, relentless grind of paddling day in and day out all around Australia's massive coastline. From heatstroke in the tropical north to the icy gales of the Southern Ocean, and everything in between, Stuart's experienced all the wonders and terrors of Australia's diverse geography, writing a gripping account that vividly brings to life the coasts of our incredible continent. Filled with dry humour, resilience and the myriad incidents and dramas that made up this epic journey, All the Way Round is a classic of adventure.

A true twin scroll exhaust manifold separates the exhaust streams from pairs of cylinders all the way to the turbine housing which is also divided into two sections or "scrolls". This prevents exhaust pulses from interfering with each other and enhancing cylinder scavenging for improved efficiency. Given the exhaust pulses now work together, the turbo will spool more quickly at lower engine speeds reducing lag and improving response, a perfect set up for drifting.
Building an efficient exhaust manifold to accomplish this effectively is an increased challenge for a manifold builder. Space limitations, placement of waste gates, geometry, runner size and length are but a few of the factors that must be considered.
DOC RACE built our true twin scroll manifold. This is the T3 flanged version. While DOC RACE offer v-band, it seems the flange may be the better way to go given complexity at the turbine inlet and waste gate ports.
The manifold delivered by DOC RACE is a work of art in that it is well designed to achieve performance and the workmanship is extraordinary. While we did have to make a slight adjustment of one wastegate flange for our configuration (twin scroll makes it a tight fit in the engine bay), the manifold is otherwise an excellent example of how it should be done. We expect that DOC RACE will incorporate our adjustment in their production design going forward.
The manifold itself is exceptionally well built. The welds are all clean and smooth creating an excellent flow path for exhaust gasses.
The use of a twin scroll manifold will add some complexity, cost and time to the install. In a tight space, there are no more components fighting for space and plumbing becomes more a challenge. We found the one and only position to clock our turbo components. We did find space for everything although the turbo oil drain line did create some challenges to the install.
Performance results on the dyno confirm excellent spool up performance as well as excellent top end performance. While a brand new component for us, we very much like the overall quality and robustness of the manifold and expect that it will perform exceptionally well for many years. After the end of a pro-am series and a full Formula Drift Pro2 season, the manifold remains perfect.
We strongly recommend DOC RACE exhaust manifolds.

Websites are an entry point to the vast world of e-commerce. How your new website looks is important of course and every business owner has a definite idea about what that "look" should be. After all, a website serves as a dynamic entry portal into the entire scope of your business. A virtual grand lobby and storefront all in one!
Yet, to be a welcoming, effective sales concierge for any business, a great website must carefully harmonize the needs of three (3) demanding masters:
|the on-line consumer (impatiently searching for what you have or do)
|the business owner (energetically seeking new and more frequent consumers)
|the search engine gods (continuously improving algorithms to provide better search results)
What we're really great at is building custom integrated websites that harmonize with these special needs and for every budget.
What really counts with website design and integrated SEO practices is not just what search traffic sees when they get to your website–but what they don't see that's also essential.
What's Visible
Building a functional website is a big step for a business—but indispensable in today's marketplace. An effective website is as important an entry point to the world of commerce as a "brick and mortar" storefront.
A well-designed website encourages search traffic to stay on purpose & on site longer. The longer they are on your site, the more pages they visit; the more they like what they see, the more likely they are to become a customer. Here are a few examples of central elements built into our custom websites to make traffic stick:
|Intuitive navigation
|Interactive videos, visuals & tools to narrow the search
|Dynamic, interactive influencing features & social media
|E-commerce functionality with support links, as required
What's Essential—but Invisible
So you have a great website. Now it's all about how to attract prospective clients so they can find it? What's your page rank and authority on Google? Do you have the right keywords, back links, meta tags, page structure, content or a blog?
Our SEO service package manages critical indexing elements such as these behind the scenes. SEO Optimization drives more qualified traffic to your website to establish rank, position & authority. Page rank matters. The higher your position on search engines for popular keywords, the more traffic you receive; the more traffic you receive, the more opportunity you have to convert a sale. By building up your rankings, you will increase how many people choose to land on your website and improve your conversion rates.
But what if ….your business doesn't have the budget to implement our SEO service pack at the same time as your website design?
Here's a BONUS: every website we develop is hardwired to receive search engine optimizing systems and tools. When your business is ready to receive the full SEO service treatment, we render in the essentials, activate your plug-ins and you're ready to get indexed and do some serious e-commerce business in your local market niche.

St. Augustine rode its defense to the top of the District 4-6A standings on Friday night.
Senior leadership was required to ensure homecoming at St. Augustine High School did not become a homegoing for the Yellow Jackets' playoff chances.
Friday's game at Foots Brumley Stadium was a de facto district championship game, yet St. Augustine (3-4, 2-0) and visiting Ed White (2-4, 1-1) let opportunities come and go throughout the evening.
But when it mattered, seniors Nick Barlow, Robert Zuzu and Rylan Shugart all produced tackles for loss on the Commanders' final possession to allow the Yellow Jackets to hold on for a 10-7 win.
It was Shugart, the homecoming king, who punctuated the game and punctured the Commanders' playoff hopes. The linebacker sacked quarterback Chaz Hirschman with less than a minute remaining on fourth-and-32 to allow St. Augustine to line up in victory formation.
"We played with relentless effort, we never gave up," Shugart said. "We came out playing through the whole game. We pulled together a win because we played as hard as we possibly could."
Freshman kicker John Doughty's 20-yard field goal on St. Augustine's first drive was the difference in the game.
It was the second time this season the Yellow Jackets did not score a second-half point but used stifling defense to secure a victory. St. Augustine forced two fumbles, intercepted a pass and forced the visitors to turn the ball over on downs twice in the fourth quarter.
"We played as a team. We played as a unit. It was not a one-man show," said St. Augustine defensive back Dequan Stanley, who intercepted a Commanders pass late in the third quarter. "We played as a family."
Dequan's older brother, Darius, came up with the football on what, arguably, was the most important down of the season for the Yellow Jackets.
Trailing 10-7, Ed White faced fourth-and-9 from St. Augustine 's 19 with eight minutes remaining. St. Augustine collapsed the pocket, junior linebacker Jaden McDowell forced a fumble and Stanley recovered to end the Commanders' drive.
White coach Kevin Sullivan eschewed kicking a field goal because Isaac Byrd, who handled the kicking duties Friday was the team's backup specialist. He already hit the crossbar on a 30-yard attempt, so asking Byrd to attempt a longer try, with the game — and season — in the balance was not something Sullivan was comfortable with.
"Our defense did a good job," Sullivan said. "… I think we missed some opportunities and they missed some opportunities. That's what I figured this game was going to be, nip and tuck."
White running back Isaiah Flowers (13 carries, 135 yards) sprinted up the middle of the Yellow Jackets' defense for a 54-yard touchdown 43 seconds into the third quarter. The Commanders did not drive the length of the field again.
St. Augustine's offensive miscues allowed the visitors to remain within striking distance. A fumble, inopportune holding penalties and missed assignments relegated the Yellow Jackets to 237 offensive yards.
The Jackets switched to a wildcat offense — with Michael Early taking snaps, McDowell playing running back and either Brandon Johnson or Justus Johnson lining up as a slot back who might run jet sweeps. It was that personnel group that led to St. Augustine's only touchdown with 44.5 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
Early threw a backward pass to Brandon Johnson who delivered a 35-yard touchdown pass to McDowell.
"That was the biggest of the night," said McDowell who finished with 64 rushing yards and 35 receiving yards. "Without that we probably wouldn't have won. We probably would have stayed in the game. But I do thank my (offensive) line, my receivers and all the other players who were on the field. I do appreciate them for blocking for me."
With Nease's 30-13 win over Middleburg on Friday St. Augustine is the only team in District 4-6A without a loss. The Yellow Jackets are in the driver's seat for a 20th straight playoff appearance; but, they realize they cannot take anything, or any team, for granted.
"Our whole team put in so much effort this week," Barlow said. "We had two weeks to prepare. I'm just so proud of all of them."

Join us as we welcome Rowan Hisayo Buchanan and Jessica Andrews to read from and discuss their new novels.
STARLING DAYS by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan
Mina is staring over the edge of the George Washington Bridge when a patrol car drives up. She tries to convince the officers she's not about to jump but they don't believe her. Her husband, Oscar is called to pick her up.
Oscar hopes that leaving New York for a few months will give Mina the space to heal. They travel to London, to an apartment wall-papered with indigo-eyed birds, to Oscars oldest friends, to a canal and blooming flower market. Mina, a classicist, searches for solutions to her failing mental health using mythological women. But she finds a beam of light in a living woman. Friendship and attraction blossom until Oscar and Mina's complicated love is tested.
Rowan Hisayo Buchanan's first novel HARMLESS LIKE YOU won the Author's Club First Novel Award, a Betty Trask award and was shortlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize. In the USA it was a New York Times Editors' Choice and an NPR 2017 Great Read. Her work has appeared in Granta, the Guardian and the Paris Review among other places.
SALTWATER by Jessica Andrews
When Lucy wins a place at university, she thinks London will unlock her future. It is a city alive with pop up bars, cool girls and neon lights illuminating the Thames at night. At least this is what Lucy expects, having grown up seemingly a world away in working-class Sunderland, amid legendary family stories of Irish immigrants and boarding houses, now-defunct ice rinks and an engagement ring at a fish market.
Yet Lucy's transition to a new life is more overwhelming than she ever expected. As she works long shifts to make ends meet and navigates chaotic parties from East London warehouses to South Kensington mansions, she still feels like an outsider among her fellow students. When things come to a head at her graduation, Lucy takes off for Ireland, seeking solace in her late grandfather's cottage and the wild landscape that surrounds it, wondering if she can piece together who she really is.
Lyrical and boundary-breaking, SALTWATER explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, the challenges of shifting class identity and the way that the strongest feelings of love can be the hardest to define.
Jessica Andrews writes fiction and poetry. She grew up in Sunderland and has spent time living in Santa Cruz, Paris, Donegal, Barcelona and London. She has been published by the Independent, Somesuch Stories, AnOther, Caught by the River, Shabby Doll House and Papaya Press, among others. She teaches Literature and Creative Writing classes and co-runs literary magazine The Grapevine, which aims to give a platform to under-represented writers.
