Poll: A Cup of Climate With Your Weather?
* Full Forecast Through Weekend | Summer or Fall: Which Is It? *
If you think the health care debate is heated -- just wait. Climate change looms as the next hot topic in this nation's political discourse, especially as Congress considers legislative action to cap U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions and world leaders prepare to negotiate a new global warming treaty at a December conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
By now most people understand that weather is not the same as climate, and similarly, a meteorologist is not the same as a climate scientist. Still, more and more meteorologists -- with varying degrees of climate science knowledge -- are expressing their views on climate change. And that trend is likely to continue as the climate debate gets louder in the coming months.
So, our question here today is...

Dan, the far more relevant question in my view would be "How do you feel about your favorite weather forecaster reporting on climate change."
The problem with local TV weathercasters' work on climate change to date - and this is a gross generalization of course - has been excessive editorializing either for or against the scientific findings of certain studies, like those of the IPCC. Rather than giving opinionated takes on the science, weather forecasters might reduce the risk of alienating viewers if they were to play the story straight and report the facts from all angles, avoiding any advocacy.

Great comment Andrew. And I actually considered phrasing the question exactly as you suggested, or trying to intertwine the commentary and reporting angles into the same question. But I decided the more interesting poll would be gauging people's attitude toward meteorologists offering their opinions (which as you acknowledge has been common) rather than how people feel about meteorologists simply reporting on climate change. The latter is also a valid question, and is a good idea for a future variation on this poll. But thought I'd start with the juicier one first :)

Since I'm primarily interested in weather, and that's what this site focuses on, I think there's been a bit much climate stuff lately (seems like every day there is a new but similar argument being had). Then again, the weather has not been too interesting latly. I do think everyone should be free to comment on it as they see fit though.

I like it when TV meteorologists report on climate-related and other weather-related topics, as well as explaining the model guidance. This is why I consider Tom Skilling and the rest of the WGN weather crew among the best in the profession.
On the other hand, the Weather Channel occasionally spends too much time on RERUNS of "Storm Stories", etc. at the expense of real-time weather reporting! This means you can't always get the current forecast when you want it, unless you are among the lucky few who have TWC's Weatherscan channel on Comcast or other cable services. In addition, the satellite TV services cannot broadcast TWC's "local on the eights" forecasts, making cable superior to satellite in that respect. I'm not sure whether Verizon FIOS has "local on the eights" & would be interested in knowing whether it's on FIOS. [If not, then cable is superior to FIOS at least in that respect!]

Interesting question - since meteorologists study weather, you'd assume they are qualified to discuss climate.
Well, let's see if that stands up to a little scrutiny:
Joe Bastardi,a well know Accuweather meteorologist, recently gave his thoughts on global warming. Please look at his video here.
Among other topics, Joe talks about sea ice in the arctic and uses a March, 1959 photo of the USS Skate surfacing in arctic to "prove" that the arctic has ice free periods in the past.
Well, Joe got his photo interpretation completely wrong. Joe misread a polynya as open arctic waters. This undermines his entire arctic ice has melted in the past argument.
Joe is certainly qualified to speak on long range weather, but his misread of the March, 1959 photo raises concerns to me about his ability to analyze climate trends.
Meteorologists, like others, are free to speak out on topics that they know. The title, itself,does not convey expertise in climatology.

Like anything else, it's not what you know that kills you, it's what you think you know and is wrong.
In this, as in much else, it depends on the meteorologists training and how much time they have spent thinking and reading about climate. Some of them obviously have, others have not, but as pointed out above, there are lots of tells.

Debre Berhan University
ebre Berhan University has been established in the 600 years old historical town- Debre Berhan – a town situated in Amhara Region, North Shoa zone and is 130 km away from Addis Ababa in the north. The most powerful explanation of the establishment of the University is the government`s commitment towards the expansion of quality higher education as well as ensuring a reasonable distribution of higher education in the country.
Based on these organizing explanations the foundation stone was laid down on 9th May 2005 G.C by her Excellency w/ro Genet Zewdie, the then ministry of minister of ducation of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
Thereafter, the construction of the university was started on a total land area of 102 hectares which was given by the City administration of Debre Berhan town.
The initial intake capacity of the university in Jan. 2007 G.C(1999 E.c) was not beyond 725 students who joined in to 5 departments with 68 instructors and 7 administrative staffs. But now, (after 7 years), the enrolment has significantly increased to more than 13,000 regular, extension and summer students who joined in to 33 departments/ programs under four colleges, three schools, one institute and on 4 post graduate program.
Miraculously to its being young, the management fervently and zealously envisions to become one of the best universities in Ethiopia by 2020 G.C.
And hence it is adamantly and unrelentingly working and undertaking massive organizational activities in terms of human resource development and construction with an over view to further enhancing its institutional capacity on areas of producing competent graduates, conducting a problem solving research & offering community services.
Currently, the university is staffed with 666 (first degree to third degree) academic staffs (293 are on study leave), 30 assistant technicians and 278 administrative staffs. By 2007E.C/2015 G.C the intake capacity of the university will have grown to 12,000 regular academic trainees, and staff upgrading and employment will be achieved as planned.

Storms that led to some Central Texas flooding and thousands of people losing power have eased.
The National Weather Service says the forecast Monday for the Austin area included lingering showers with temperatures in the lower 90s.
About 5,000 Austin Energy customers were without electricity Sunday night. Crews worked to restore power and by Monday those outages had dwindled to only about 65 affected customers.
Texas News
News from around the state of Texas.
The National Weather Service says the Austin area received nearly 3 inches of rain Sunday, leading to some street flooding. The Travis County Sheriff's Department had no record of any weather-related rescues Monday.
Forecasters say the Houston area, which is recovering from weekend flooding following storms, has a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday.

Ever wonder what the inside of a boarding house looks like? Wonder no more. Thanks to mlsli.com, here are pictures of what appears to be an illegal boarding house in Stony Brook, less than 1/4 mile from W.S. Mount Elementary School.
This listing has the wonderful description of "Amazing Potential Calling All Investors Great House Near University, Hospital, And Great Shopping" and advertises 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. However, the pictures tell a different story.
In the slide show below, you will see what is typically seen in boarding houses. That is, every available room has been turned into a bedroom. Thanks to the pictures, one can clearly see that there are seven separate "bedrooms" and a total of nine beds. Additionally, if one looks carefully, one will find five refrigerators: two large and three small. Finally, despite the fact that the listing only indicates 2 bathrooms, there are clearly three.
Lastly, the picture of the backyard shows a mysterious pipe coming from the house.
Let's hope that this house is indeed sold. However, let's hope that it is sold to a family…not an investor.

28 June 2010
The full moon, a strawberry moon I'm told, just passed. It and the sun have been pouring down lots of heat. The spell is expected to snap later this week and nice weather is forecast for the Independence Day weekend ahead.
A while back I was climbing out of a big dump truck when the scene beneath the driver's seat caught my eye. I thought, this is what drives America: special blend Marlboros with a strong dose of nicotine in each cigarette and additional caffeine and sugar in a chocolate pie. Time plus effort equals accomplishment. Throw in caffeine, nicotine and sugar and there's plenty of fuel for the effort engine.
Driving the back streets of Ellendale recently I came across two classic residences, just a block or two from the main railroad line that dissects Sussex County. I'd call both of these houses good examples of early 20th-century Delaware architecture during a prosperous time in Ellendale's history. If anyone knows what architectural styles these represent, please write me a note so I can pass it along.
Here are the houses. They both front on State Street on the south side of town.

text: The tourism economy is very important for Cape Town and any bad publicity has a knock-on effect which could ultimately impact thousands of jobs provided by the industry, James Vos, the City of Cape Town's Mayco member for economic development, has warned.It is not just leisure tourism which is impacted by images of crime and violence in the city, but business tourism as well, in including decisions by big international conferences to come here or not, he added. This is in addition to the drought making international news in recent years, which also had an impact on tourism numbers.Subscribe to Fin24's newsletter here"That is why the City is working hard with various partners like the police to make more of a case for the creation of safer spaces around big conferences and in the Metropole," Vos said at the City Meets Business event in Cape Town on Wednesday. It was hosted by the Western Cape Business Opportunities' Forum (Wecbof).The city also wants to diversify the tourism landscape and build more tourism businesses from the ground up and without compromising on quality, he said.READ: Poor Cape Town households spend 43% of income on transport – Mayco member"In general, the City wants to provide a skills pipeline into sectors poised for big global growth and use its strategic assets as an economic lever. We want to see how we can get the best return on our investments," said Vos. "It is very important that decisions make business sense. Often governments spend lots of money on things that make government sense, but not business sense."'Where start-ups never stop'Research indicated that the clothing and textile industry in the city is one of the important sectors where skills development could help to expand operations and create jobs."Cape Town can be competitive and give China a run for its money in fast fashion intervention, for instance, especially with the increased cargo capacity due to more direct flights to Cape Town," said Vos.The call centre industry is another sector with potential opportunities for job creation if skills development takes place, he said. According to Vos, two international companies, one in the US and one in the UK, have already expressed interest."Cape Town must be the city where start-ups never stop. Then they will create jobs and provide the skills needed," he said.

Loveland, CO, Interweave Press, 2011
Basic Lessons is the title of the first chapter in this little book. Like all good embroidery books, this section includes what materials and tools are needed to do bead needlework, followed by the basic embroidery skills necessary to stitch the delightful samples and project ideas. The chapter ends with ways beads and running stitches may be combined. The photographs and diagrams are clear and set out beautifully - very tempting!
The next chapter – Lesson 1, starts with three projects which use beads combined with straight stitches, back stitches, Holbein stitch and blanket stitches. The use of different colour, stitch and bead variations result in pretty and interesting combinations.
Lesson 2 follows and uses lazy daisy, other variants of chain stitch, cross stitch, chevron, fly and several other embroidery stitches.
Lesson 3 has slightly more complex combinations which create lace motifs, lovely edging stitches, filling stitches and one point motifs. There follows ideas for a beaded and stitches alphabet - and strangely, given the Japanese author - charts of Nordic motifs.
The book ends with twenty pages detailing how to make beaded embroidery stitches. I am not quite sure why this had been included, as there are such clear instructions throughout the book on how to achieve the described techniques.
At only 120 pages, this is not a large book. None of bead/embroidery combinations are complicated. Some of the projects seem a little contrived. Who would want to wear a pair of beaded socks, for example? a little uncomfortable I should have thought. However, this is an inspirational book. I think it would particularly appeal to young embroiderers.
The review copy came from the Auckland Libraries system. I have asked the library to buy Yasuko Endo's other book, called Bead Embroidery stitch samples; motifs. You may want to request that one too when it becomes available.

Following an amazing night for Florence Welch wearing McQueen to the Met Gala, the British singer was seen out in New York City yesterday taping a segment with Cynthia McFadden from ABC's 'Nightline' show.
Florence wore a look from the Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2012 collection.
The brown kaleidoscope-print silk georgette draped-back shirt and pants were styled with black platform heels and a Gucci 'New Bamboo' bag.
Florence has never been afraid of print and colour, so I'm not surprised to see her working this look.

During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of both COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Breast cancer education screening, diagnosis and care for all citizens regardless of economic level. This program focuses on the highest incidence populations to prevent and detect breast cancer early (working with local medical and non-profit organizations, utilizing the highest technologically means available).
"The PROJECT!" is dedicated to making healthcare consumer education, and resources available to anyone and serving the high-risk, high incidence indigent populations so they may access care (directly and through the Internet with our assistance and training and expansive advocacy). The International Advisory Council - all dedicated to the prevention and early detection of breast cancer pre-adolescence on. Thank you for your interest in "PROJECT! OUTREACH, Inc." By its Charter, "The Project!" is mandated to prevent hundreds of deaths through the early detection of breast cancer by dissemination of direct education. Its budget provides for a professional staff, but the services are more extensive because of volunteers. It is only through love for others, as we love and care for ourselves, that our world, our community, the people we live with daily, will survive. If we love each other, we will love the earth, the environment that feeds and protects us. The volunteers and staff will be advocates and warriors on this trek against breast cancer deaths caused by late diagnosis. Over 180,000 women are maimed or die from breast cancer annually. Volunteers will be taking news, computer skills, and education to those who would not usually receive direct information, or who need the support and encouragement to seek screening for their concerns. The most recent census showed that only 25% of America's families are traditional families. We have a lot of women struggling to maintain households, be parents, and try to learn about their primary task, caring for themselves, and earn a living in order to care for others. Too many women and those who love them have no idea of how to find routine health screening much less maintain their own states of health. Many believe they cannot afford routine care and screening, or they've watched other women around them suffer the effects of an advanced diagnosis of breast cancer, and watched them die. So, we were founded to provide breast cancer education, screening, and advocacy (direct and via Internet) for all citizens regardless of economic levels - and empower them to listen to their own bodies. HOW? Professionals and volunteers serve population groups with the highest incidence of breast cancer as identified by valid studies, and joint-venture with foundations, the communities, cities, etc. that request our multi-cultural team. There are no duplications or replications in our program - only collaboration. We can only do one program well: outreach. We shall not duplicate, only collaborate. We do not perform human research. We do track our outcomes (attendance, continued communications, follow-through with appointments, and our multicultural abilitiy to serve our target populations on their level and needs. We invite other breast cancer organizations world-wide to contact us, and welcome literature from other organizations so we may distribute their resources. Project Outreach is committed to caring, and sharing, not changing or judging medical practices - that will evolve through loving care of others as we care for ourselves. It proves there are doctors who do care. FOUNDER: The PROJECT! was founded by a woman who had two malignancies go undetected, including two annual mammograms and one surgical procedure for another condition that she was told was "benign." She believes that had she known better , she would not have spent several years in letting things go on, and that if this happened to her, as a medical professional, it must be happening to millions of others without the education and information that she possessed. The founder was determined to seek out the best team of physicians possible, implement a double check system to help the whole Team, and seek out a competent, caring group of professionals focused on prevention, and early detection, and then, scientifically honest individuals. Her strategies to form such a team is the basis that is being shared with others. We must all realize that our ethnicity, race, religion, and/or economic status is our culture. We may be one of two people, same race, lived and grew up in the same neighborhood, and be culturally very different. "VOLUNTEER VALUE: Volunteers always make the difference between a neat dish of ice cream and a messy, luscious ice cream cone to a child; they make the hand of the elderly soften, and the heart of the philanthropists bigger. They can reduce a stack of paperwork faster than a tornado. And, their feet never, and hearts, never wear out - and they outlive all of us. Without volunteers, staff in nonprofit organizations would die and early death (C. Thompson, Founder, 1999)!" The founding board of trustees are volunteers - individuals who sincerely care about early detection saving lives. They know that this program does not replicate or duplicate any other and shall not, in fact. They also work on a horizontally cooperative basis, and do not view themselves as a patriarchal structure. Each person does have a "task," as part of the strategic plan; however, anyone may do anything that is needed, and comfortably represent the organization, and speak for it, without concern. PLEASE JOIN US IN THIS FIGHT TO SAVE LIVES!

Nuclear Rocket Engine Reactor
Part of the Springer Series in Materials Science book series (SSMATERIALS, volume 170)
Part of the Springer Series in Materials Science book series (SSMATERIALS, volume 170)
The development of a nuclear rocket engine reactor (NRER ) is presented in this book. The working capacity of an active zone NRER under mechanical and thermal load, intensive neutron fluxes, high energy generation (up to 30 MBT/l) in a working medium (hydrogen) at temperatures up to 3100 K is displayed. Design principles and bearing capacity of reactors area discussed on the basis of simulation experiments and test data of a prototype reactor. Property data of dense constructional, porous thermal insulating and fuel materials like carbide and uranium carbide compounds in the temperatures interval 300 - 3000 K are presented. Technological aspects of strength and thermal strength resistance of materials are considered. The design procedure of possible emergency processes in the NRER is developed and risks for their origination are evaluated. Prospects of the NRER development for pilotless space devices and piloted interplanetary ships are viewed.

following pages tell some of the stories of several of the
earliest families to settle in the area known today as Washington
County, Georgia, including the Bullard, Brantley, Daniel,
Gilbert, Henry, Irwin, Lee, Lewis, Mason, Rountree, Smith,
Vickers, Wood and related families. These families "traveled
by horseback, ox cart and wagon train. Most were poor and
came from North Carolina seeking a better life. When the travelers
reached their destination, most of them lived in their wagons
or make-do shelters until land could be cleared and homes
built." (Logue, Amanda B., Compiler, Webmaster. Washington
County, Georgia GenWeb Pages. [Online: hosted by RootsWeb.
URL: https://sites.rootsweb.com/~gawashin/GenWeb/])
family played a part in taming and civilizing a wilderness
only recently ceded by the Indians. These sturdy pioneers
set up their new homes in an area where "conditions were
primitive and justice was rude but swift. For ten years after
the end of the Revolution, most counties had neither courthouses
nor jails. Trials were held in some private residence or under
a tree." (Coulter, E. Merton. Georgia: a Short History.
Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1947,.
p 196-7.)
the years and through the generations, members of these families
migrated together in family groups from place to place, and
married one another frequently. Quite often two or three siblings
from one family married two or three siblings from another
family. Most people married someone who lived within a five-mile

We've all seen the guys who come along the canal with a small boat measuring how deep the silt & mud at the bottom of the canal. Well - it seems that there is about half a metre of sludge & goodness knows what else! - So British Waterways are going to dredge the canal for us. Thank you to Charlie Foreman from Hackney Council gave us the heads-up on this:
British Waterways, working with the Environment Agency and the Olympic Delivery Authority, is undertaking a programme of dredging on the River Lee Navigation to help improve water quality, and access for barges in and around the Olympic Park.
Local residents, boaters, businesses and clubs have all been made aware of the programme via letter and meetings.
Please find attached a copy of the letter sent to local residents. If you require any further information please do let me know.
Kind regards

Dear Local Resident
Improving Water Quality on the River Lee Navigation
Water quality on the River Lee Navigation has been an issue of concern for many years, affecting local residents, wildlife, boaters and other waterway users.
Now a number of organisations are working together to improve the water quality of the river.
This will be a long-term programme of works to help deliver a clean, green and active waterway.
The first step in this clean-up programme is a c.£5million programme of dredging and bridge protection works. The Environment Agency is funding the removal of up to 16,000m3 of silt from the River Lee Navigation, from Tottenham Lock downstream to Old Ford Lock, whilst the Olympic Delivery Authority is funding the dredging works that will open up the waterways in and around the Olympic Park, first for freight barges, and in legacy for leisure use.
The works will take place between February and May 2009. The dredging barges will remove big obstructions first, such as car parts and trolleys that have been dumped in the waterway, before removing silt from the river bed.
The dredging of the polluted sediments will gradually help improve the water quality of the river, which in turn will encourage wildlife to return to the area, enable boats to travel more easily along the river and improve the appearance and even the odour of the waterway.
British Waterways will be managing the dredging programme, and is talking to hundreds of users and neighbours of the River Lee Navigation to ensure that people are made aware of the planned works and any minor disruption which may affect users.
If you need any further information about the dredging programme please call British Waterways London T: 020 7985 7200. If you would like to report any dumping of rubbish or illegal fly-tipping along the River Lee Navigation please call the Environment Agency T: 0800 80 70 60.
Yours faithfully

The first modern smartphone is generally considered to have been the Nokia Communicator, released in 1996. It was large and clunky, had a flip keyboard and a awkward antenna. Boy, how things have changed. Multiple companies now churn out increasingly amazing models with incredibly slick designs, intuitive features and hundreds of thousands of fun and useful apps. A billion people around the globe now have supercomputers in their pockets. The implications are dramatic and only beginning to be understood.
According to a new report from Boston-based Strategy Analytics, the global user base of smartphones surpassed one billion for the first time at the end of the third quarter of 2012. The report states that 1.038 billion smartphones in use, up from 959 million at the end of the second quarter and close to 300 million more than the 708 million counted at the end of the third quarter last year.
Smartphone Growth Keeps Accelerating
It took 16 years from the advent of the first modern smartphone to hit the first billion users. Nearly all of that growth has come in the last five years as devices like the iPhone and various Android smartphones have come to dominate the market. And that global adoption continues to accelerate, with the next billion smartphone users predicted to be online by 2015, according to Strategy Analytics.
"Today's billion smartphones in use provide consumers around the world with an unprecedented level of connectivity to social circles, work, and infotainment. Smartphones are allowing on-the-go consumption and creation of content. Smartphones are connecting many people to the Internet for the first time in emerging markets," said Alex Spektor, Strategy Analytics' associate director of global wireless practice.
Another Billion Smartphones In Just 3 Years
According to Strategy Analytics reported growth rate, taking just three years to add the next billion smartphone users seems almost conservative. From the end of Q3 2011 to the end of Q3 2012, the global smartphone user base grew an average of 27.5 million users per month. Simply continuing that growth for 36 months gives us 990 million new smartphone users in three years. If the growth rate continues to accelerated, we could get there even sooner.
While smartphone adoption rates are booming globally, the same cannot be said about the United States. According to comScore, nearly 234 million people in the U.S. have cellphones, of which the majority are of the smart variety. Mobile analytics company Flurry predicts that there are 165 million smartphone users in the U.S., which would account for nearly 70% of the consumer base. Essentially, the U.S. has hit, or is very close to hitting, its smartphone saturation point.
Smartphone growth will come from countries like China, India, Brazil and the Middle East. According to Flurry, China is the fastest growing market for iOS and Android devices, increasing 401% between July 2011 and July 2012. By the end of the year, China will surpass the U.S. as the country with the most smartphone users.
What Do Two Billion Smartphones Add Up To?
The implications of this massive smartphone adoption are clear: There are huge opportunities to be had for those able to seize them. The leaders in the smartphone race, especially Google, Apple and Samsung have the potential to create hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue. Companies like Facebook (which has strong mobile usage) need to learn to capitalize in a world where a connected computer is in virtually every pocket. Upstart mobile operating systems have a chance to make a dent, such as Mozilla's OS that is expected to roll out in foreign markets in 2013.
But those are only some of the obvious players. What are you going to do with the opportunity presented by the booming global mobile industry?

Dear Scout Boats,
We have a 14-ft Scout that we absolutely love. We were pummeled by Tropical Storm Debby and the boat is probably a total loss. I write to you to tell how amazing it is. One side has completely sheared away by being beaten against a seawall. Still, if we can start it, we can drive it. It is floating even with the gunwale gone all the way to the floor. If you saw it from the other side you might not know anything was wrong with it.
We look forward to buying another Scout to replace it.
Andrea Wilson

I started babysitting in middle school and never looked back! I took my first "real" childcare job in a daycare while still in high school. I LOVED spending my afternoons caring for those 1 and 2 year old kids. As I grew older I decided working in the medical field, but still with children, was my calling. I decided to attend college for a nursing degree. College was not for me and after my first term I went to work FT at the daycare.
After a couple job switches I decided to try out being a Nanny. I fell in LOVE with it right away. It has been about 13 years and I still love it. I enjoy being there for all the "firsts" and watching as children learn and grow and discover the world around them. My favorite days at work are when I can sit on the floor building with blocks or driving cars. Who wouldn't love to play all day and get paid for it?
I am very fortunate to have worked for some amazing families over the years and still be in contact with several of them. My children have been welcomed in to numerous homes by these great families. So not only do I get to do a job I enjoy, but I've been able to have my own children with me while I do it.
I'm not sure I want to Nanny for my entire working career though. Lily has 4 more years at home before starting Kindergarten. I hope to go back to school and earn that Nursing degree I started so long ago so that when the time comes that I no longer need to be her full time caregiver I can enter into a new and equally fulfilling career as a pediatric nurse.
Until that time I will continue to crunch in the leaves and build colorful towers.
This post was inspired by The Cartographer of No Man's Land by P.S. Duffy. Angus enlists in the Nova Scotia WWI regiment and travels Europe to search for his missing in action best friend and brother-in-law. Along the way Angus discovers more than he ever wanted to know. Join From Left to Write on November 14 as we discuss The Cartographer of No Man's Land. As a member, I received a copy of the book for review purposes.

OC skate punk band Doggy Style is back after twenty years with a new studio album, PUNKER'S ANTHEM, to be released August 30 via Cleopatra Records.
In the 1980s, Orange County became known for a brand of punk rock particularly popular in the skate community. Skate punk was colorful in look and lyric, taking itself a little less seriously than other types of punk. At the forefront was a group of high schoolers calling themselves Doggy Style, who wrote hardcore slice-of-life songs and played them really fast. They released three EPs; most notably SIDE BY SIDE on Flipside Records which included the still-popular "Donut Shop Rock." Then there was a break-up, several reformations, name changes, style shifting and then sporadic quiet.
But the punk spirit never dies, and Doggy Style has revived with original members Ed Caudill (lead Guitar), Tim Fyke (singer) and Mark Tolbert (guitar/ vocals). Filling out the band are Danny Staggs (Guitar), Eric Vedder (bass) and Joey Ruffino (drums), each of whom were a part of the '80s OC music scene in bands like China White, AWOL and Dawn Patrol. Special guest artists on PUNKER'S ANTHEM are Jack Grisham (TSOL) and Gordon Cox (The Detours).
Today's Doggy Style sound, "hardcore revival," says the band, is "a blend of what's great about the new punk rock resurgence with the youthful energy and innocence of being a suburban punk in the early '80s. We wanted to take what we've learned as musicians and blend it with attitude of being a kid, skating the storm drains and leaving flaming bags of shit on the neighbor's porch."
Of the sixteen songs on PUNKER'S ANTHEM, some are remakes of Doggy Style classics (like "Donut Shop Rock" and "Ladies from Neptune"); others are unreleased songs from back in the day ("City Life," "Suicidal Maniac" and "AWOL"). After a demo was leaked and found popularity on underground radio stations across the country, "Beat Your Meat" was rerecorded in full sound. Other highlights, according to the Dogs: "World-changing or the shit that pisses your parents off songs are "Punker Girl," a melodic quirky quasi ballad, good enough for the air play but with just enough well timed f-bombs to keep it off the radio, and "In the Pit" is Doggy Style attempt at a love song, but sounds more like Buster Poindexter meats David Johansen."
Doggy Style's fans from the day may be "of a certain age" now, but they are passing their fandom on to their kids. Shows are packed with all ages of punker, carrying on the lifestyle (see video below). PUNKER'S ANTHEM record release will be celebrated in Silverlake, CA at Pizzapalooza, the free, 15 band alternative to Sunset Junction on August 27.
PUNKER'S ANTHEM is available for pre-order now, and will be on iTunes, amazon.com and at record stores August 30. For more information about Doggy Style, visit facebook.com/pages/Doggy-Style-OC-Punk/239923099394.

Remove email@example.com ransomware / virus (Virus Removal Instructions)
What you should know about firstname.lastname@example.com ransomware?
firstname.lastname@example.com virus has been called like that due to email it provides for the victims. Cyber security experts identify this infection as RAA ransomware virus and a file-encrypting malware. This infectious Trojan encrypts all victim's files with AES-256 encryption, making them unusable and worthless. Criminals steal the decryption key from the computer and start demanding a ransom, which is worth 250 USD dollars. Victims are advised not to pay the ransom as this will not grant confirmation that files will be restored. However, let's get into the details of this virus' modus operandi and see how it encrypts those files.
Questions about firstname.lastname@example.com ransomware virus
Once installed, email@example.com virus drops Pony Trojan (a malicious virus that steals private data) on the system and starts searching for particular files on the infected system. Typically, it looks for photos, videos, documents, and archives, and encrypts them all with military-grade encryption, which means that these files become inaccessible to anyone except someone who has the unique decryption key. It is also worth noting that the virus generates different encryption and decryption keys for every victim. Besides, after encrypting victim's files, it adds .locked file extension. Other viruses add this file extension to encrypted data, one of them is .locked virus. However, the aim of firstname.lastname@example.com malware is to swindle money from victims, so they take their files hostage and suggest buying them out by purchasing the decryption software. All information on how to decrypt files is provided in a ransom note that the virus leaves on the system, which is called !!!README!!![Victim's ID].rtf. The ransom note is inscribed in The Russian language. It asks the victim to buy Bitcoins and transfer them to a presented Bitcoin wallet address. If you are wondering if you should pay up or not, we want to warn you that scammers might try to sell you useless piece of software that cannot decrypt the files, or might be supplemented with more malicious files. Therefore, the best idea is to remove firstname.lastname@example.com ransomware from the system and start recovering your files from backups, email, USBs and other storage devices. Full email@example.com removal can be successfully completed using Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego.
How did this ransomware get inside your computer?
The fact that this ransomware has managed to enter your computer system without being stopped proves that your computer needs more protection. Is your computer actively defended with some security software? Because if not, then there is no surprise why this virus has been installed without your notice at all and managed to encrypt all your files. We have mentioned in the beginning that such computer pests spread like Trojan horses, which means that their authors hide them in regular-looking files and send them to victims via emails, present their download links in pop-up ads or distribute them with the help of exploit kits. In this case, virus spreads in a form of malicious Word document containing infectious script that can be activated by enabling Macros. Below you can find some easy ransomware prevention techniques that can lower the possibility of becoming a victim of ransomware attack.
- Update your software, or enable automatic software updates.
- Install a good security software.
- Stay away from suspicious emails and files attached to them. If the attachment asks you to activate Macros function, do not do that!
- Do not agree to install unknown programs from pop-up ads or sites that you get redirected to without showing the intention to enter them.
- Instead of running or opening files downloaded from the web, save them on the system instead. This way, your anti-virus software will have time to check its safety level.
How to uninstall firstname.lastname@example.com malware?
We definitely do not recommend victims to remove firstname.lastname@example.com virus or Pony Trojan manually. These shady programs hide their files in the computer system by using safe-looking filenames, so it can be hard to identify them. Of course, viruses do not use filenames such as "virus.exe." Therefore, it is better to rely on malware removal software and allow it to eliminate such threats automatically. When infected with ransomware, it can be tough to launch such software, so we recommend you to carry out these instructions first:
To remove firstname.lastname@example.com virus, follow these steps:
Remove email@example.com using Safe Mode with Networking
Step 1: Reboot your computer to Safe Mode with Networking
Windows 7 / Vista / XP
- Click Start → Shutdown → Restart → OK.
- When your computer becomes active, start pressing F8 multiple times until you see the Advanced Boot Options window.
- Select Safe Mode with Networking from the list
Windows 10 / Windows 8
- Press the Power button at the Windows login screen. Now press and hold Shift, which is on your keyboard, and click Restart..
- Now select Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings and finally press Restart.
- Once your computer becomes active, select Enable Safe Mode with Networking in Startup Settings window.
Step 2: Remove firstname.lastname@example.com
Log in to your infected account and start the browser. Download Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego or other legitimate anti-spyware program. Update it before a full system scan and remove malicious files that belong to your ransomware and complete email@example.com removal.
If your ransomware is blocking Safe Mode with Networking, try further method.
Remove email@example.com using System Restore
Step 1: Reboot your computer to Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Windows 7 / Vista / XP
- Click Start → Shutdown → Restart → OK.
- When your computer becomes active, start pressing F8 multiple times until you see the Advanced Boot Options window.
- Select Command Prompt from the list
Windows 10 / Windows 8
- Press the Power button at the Windows login screen. Now press and hold Shift, which is on your keyboard, and click Restart..
- Now select Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings and finally press Restart.
- Once your computer becomes active, select Enable Safe Mode with Command Prompt in Startup Settings window.
Step 2: Restore your system files and settings
- Once the Command Prompt window shows up, enter cd restore and click Enter.
- Now type rstrui.exe and press Enter again..
- When a new window shows up, click Next and select your restore point that is prior the infiltration of firstname.lastname@example.com. After doing that, click Next.
- Now click Yes to start system restore.
Bonus: Recover your dataGuide which is presented above is supposed to help you remove email@example.com from your computer. To recover your encrypted files, we recommend using a detailed guide prepared by 2-spyware.com security experts.
Please do not waste your hardly-earned money by paying ransoms to cyber criminals. They are simply not worth it! Remove the infection, and try to recover as many files as possible by checking your USBs, data sent through the mail or social media, hard drives or simply backup drives.
If your files are encrypted by email@example.com, you can use several methods to restore them:
Use Data Recovery Pro
If your files have been encoded and you cannot recover them from a backup because you do not have one, you can use this program to recover your files.
- Download Data Recovery Pro;
- Follow the steps of Data Recovery Setup and install the program on your computer;
- Launch it and scan your computer for files encrypted by firstname.lastname@example.com ransomware;
- Restore them.
Recover the most essential files using Windows Previous Versions feature
If System Restore function has been turned on, then you have the possibility to recover some files now. Follow these steps to restore them:
- Find an encrypted file you need to restore and right-click on it;
- Select "Properties" and go to "Previous versions" tab;
- Here, check each of available copies of the file in "Folder versions". You should select the version you want to recover and click "Restore".
Finally, you should always think about the protection of crypto-ransomwares. In order to protect your computer from email@example.com and other ransomwares, use a reputable anti-spyware, such as Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego, SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes

This is RAA RANSOMWARE! It has encrypted my files and I cannot do anything with them! How am I supposed to feel when I read your statement that there is no decryption tool? I am freaking out! I need my files!!
September 21st, 2016 at 10:22 am
Dude, do you even know how hard it is to crack ransomwares code and break encryption algorithm. That is nuts. Its so hard that it can take years to do that. Unless ransomware creators are amateur fools, then yes, in such case, it is easy to create a decryption software. It seems that in this case, were dealing with a really strong ransomware example.

They want your money… all cyber criminals want money! Do not pay them, people! They use that money for their pleasures and also invest in new ransomware projects. Do not fund them!

Texture and a Lotus Flower
I have another design today using images from Chocolate Baroque's beautiful Serenity and Tranquility A5 sets.
I started by creating texture using a fan design stencil (by Existencil - Expressions) with light molding paste. After letting it dry I sprayed with Dylusions inks (Cut Grass, London Blue & Turquoise) and rubbed Inka Gold over parts of the raised areas. I stamped the water Irises from Tranquility on the bottom RH side with Peacock Feathers DI and the vine also from Tranquility at the top LH side with Mowed Lawn DI.
I stamped the Lotus flower from Serenity with Cobalt Archival ink, sprayed again with Dylusions and then coloured with Prisma pencils. I added a little glitter to the water and centers of the flowers.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Serenity is such an apt name for these stamps Shirley they give such a feeling of peace when you look at them (must be your colouring) even with such a vibrant background. The texture you made with the stencil is amazing.

A beautful card Shriley, some of my favourite colours. I love the way you have created the background, great texture and stamped highlights. The main panel is as always beautifully coloured and the addition of the lilac colour range is super. A bright and uplifting card for this dreary time of year. Elaine x

Your deckled edge for the image panel looks super & again I'm transfixed by your matting colours. The background panel highlighting of the fans echoes the striations of the conical flowers in your image panel & the addition of the subtle glitter really catches the eye. Your positioning of the image panel is beautifully effective with the stamping in the diagonally opposite corners & I particularly like the way you have gone from light (yellow-green) to the dark (blue-green) top to bottom on both the image panel & the background. Phew - there was more here than initially meets the eye…….

I love the blues and greens with the stencilled texture in the background, and the gilding wax and stamping just add layers of interest. I also like the way you have coloured the image panel with the yellowy green at the top and the bluey green at the bottom which echoes the background colouring. I adore the Lotus Flower image and the Prisma pencil colouring, and the
soft colour stamping behind and touches of glitter finish it beautifully. There is so much interest in this card, really lovely Shirley. x

The clock is ticking on the Chicago Bulls to come to an agreement on a contract extension with Taj Gibson. With the Halloween deadline fast approaching, according to a Chicago Tribune report, the two sides are roughly $8 million apart over the next four years.
While it's been the focus of fans and media alike, Gibson has chosen to stay focused on basketball and is tired of his contract status being the main topic of discussion when people talk to him.
"I'm getting tired being asked questions about (my extension) and people worrying about it. I just want to get back to playing basketball, get focused on the season and helping this team win games," said Gibson to the Tribune after Sunday's practice.
But with the departure of Omer Asik to the Houston Rockets, no one in Chicago wants to see another talented player stolen from underneath the Bulls because of money. Taj has stated he wants to remain a member of the Bulls and finish his career in Chicago, but with him being 27-years-old, he wants to get every dollar he can from his first – and possibly last – big NBA contract.
The Bulls are now in year one of Derrick Rose's five-year, $94 million contract which is set to pay him just over $16 million this season. Add that to the contracts of Luol Deng ($13.3 million), Joakim Noah ($11.3 million) and Carlos Boozer ($15 million), there isn't much left to pay Gibson who has earned himself a substantial pay raise.
Is $2 million annually going to be what keeps Gibson in Chicago or will it be the straw that breaks the camels back and force him into wearing a new uniform next season? We'll find out in two days.

Police Continue Probe Into Ongoing Copper Thefts
Town police last week reported yet another theft of copper pipe from a residential property, marking about 15 such copper thefts locally since the beginning of the year.
Police said that they learned at about 5:40 pm on May 17 that someone at some time had burglarized a vacant house for sale on Jeremiah Road in Sandy Hook. The burglar then stole many sections of copper piping from baseboard heating equipment inside the house.
Police had no estimate of the value of the stolen copper.
The current market price for scrap copper tubing is about $2.50 per pound.
Police Chief Michael Kehoe said this week that town police are cooperating with police from other towns in seeking to learn who is stealing the copper pipe from local properties.
The copper thefts have occurred across town, Chief Kehoe said.
The police chief said he expects that the people who burglarize houses to steal copper know exactly what they want to do once inside a house and then do it quickly, evading capture.
Chief Kehoe urged residents who notice any suspicious activity which may constitute copper theft to call police promptly, so they can investigate.
On May 19, police investigated two cases of copper pipe theft at two vacant houses near the intersection of Sugar Street, West Street, and Boggs Hill Road.
In one case, the theft of pipes from the basement of a house on Sugar Street punctured a charged water pipe, resulting in pressurized water spraying out of the punctured pipe to flood the basement to a depth of about 30 inches, representing about 2,000 gallons of water.
In early May, police learned that unknown persons had been stealing an extensive amount of copper piping and copper wiring for an unknown period of time from Cochran House, a large vacant building at Fairfield Hills.
The multistory 188,000-square-foot red-brick Cochran House is at 21 Mile Hill Road South, on the southern edge of the town-owned Fairfield Hills campus. The Cochran House thefts constitute first-degree larceny, which represents a loss value of more than $20,000. The thieves apparently gained entry into that building through one of its many exterior doorways.
Other recent residential copper thefts occurred at two vacant houses near the intersection of South Main Street and Greenbriar Lane, on Russett Road, and on Pole Bridge Road.
Police ask anyone with knowledge of the copper thefts to contact them at the police station at 3 Main Street, telephone 203-426-5841.

SYRACUSE — Notice anything missing lately from the afternoon drive shift at MOViN 100.3/96.5 (WMVN)? Yo! Sunny Joe, one of the original members of the air staff when the station launched in 2007, has been told his services are no longer needed.

AniTrace offers a service to help you manage your business and provides the real time data for better business decision. Your data is solely yours.
AniTrace system offers a service to help manage your business, specially
for speed of commerce, with 100 percent inventory accuracy.
It is a seamless system that flows from purchase to final sales, and with the device to website.
In addition, AniTrace introduces an innovative solution, AniMonitor, to monitor animals'
daily behavior at the feed bunk. In any feedlot, it is imperative to maximize herds'
profitability, or even prevent any health related events as early as possible
which can be hard to advert, or apply the most efficient resource utilization;
feed, medicine, pen utilization, etc. On the other hand, there are surprisingly few
and limited ways in the market to obtain such timely detection at the individual level.
Often times, the feedlot operation must suffer rather expensive and time consuming corrective measures.
Unlike any conventional method, AniMonitor provides a daily status of an "individual" animal's
feeding behavior by utilizing the company's proprietary technology, including UHF RFID tags.
AniMonitor is also expandable beyond a single pen in length with scale of economy.
Receive real-time information of your cattle from anywhere, anytime. Have the confidence to know the location of your animals and track your animal's movements easily with AniTrace.
Lot Verification is a process in the AniTrace system that allows the user to track cattle from the moment they are purchased until they are processed.
Have the convenience of pulling up a system report to see the status of your incoming cattle from outside your office. Now you no longer have to be in the office to manage your animals.
Start the Lot Verification process by creating an invoice.
Once an invoice is created, have the ability to track animals that have been ordered and look up in real-time the status of your animals throughout the lot verification process.
Make more effective management decisions by knowing when to receive the animals and when to process the animals!
After the animals have been purchased, let AniTrace ensure that the lot of animals is accounted for by having workers update their status in the system.
Are you away from the office but want to know the status of your animals?
From anywhere with an internet connection, connect to your AniTrace account and pull up your verification report to get the latest information on your animals!
Have peace of mind knowing that your animals have been tagged and processed! Or if your purchased animals haven't arrived yet, quickly coordinate with team members to locate your shipment of animals!With AniTrace, remove the headaches that come with purchased animals and make tracking your purchased animals more reliable!
From lot creation to tag registration, let Lot Verification guide you through the process and remove the manual work associated with this cumbersome task!
You can see when those fresh calves haven't eaten or drank.
Take action even before the pen riders see the animals getting sick!
Simply login to your AniTrace website with your account and see instantly how your animals are performing.
Not sure if your animals are coming to the feed bunk or water trough enough?
With AniMonitor, let AniTrace monitor your animals 24-7 without any supervision required.
As your animals come to eat or drink, AniMonitor will keep track of how often they come and provide analysis on their performance.
When an animal does not eat or drink, receive an alert so that you can follow up on the animal before their condition worsens or before they get sick.
Monitor your animals 24 hours a day
Automatic Headcount with AniMonitor
AniMonitor counts frequently & sends alerts when something is unusual
AniMonitor tracks and analyzes for abnormalities
Early intervention for sickness and disease outbreaks
Eliminate your worries about having misplaced animals or having outdated pen information!

The New York Times reported boys are growing increasingly obsessed over an unattainable body image. Look for a Dove for Men Real Beauty campaign to launch soon.
Muscular Body Image Lures Boys Into Gym, and Obsession
By Douglas Quenqua
It is not just girls these days who are consumed by an unattainable body image.
Take David Abusheikh. At age 15, he started lifting weights for two hours a day, six days a week. Now that he is a senior at Fort Hamilton High School in Brooklyn, he has been adding protein bars and shakes to his diet to put on muscle without gaining fat.
"I didn't used to be into supplements," said Mr. Abusheikh, 18, who plans on a career in engineering, "but I wanted something that would help me get bigger a little faster."
Pediatricians are starting to sound alarm bells about boys who take unhealthy measures to try to achieve Charles Atlas bodies that only genetics can truly confer. Whether it is long hours in the gym, allowances blown on expensive supplements or even risky experiments with illegal steroids, the price American boys are willing to pay for the perfect body appears to be on the rise.
In a study to be published on Monday in the journal Pediatrics, more than 40 percent of boys in middle school and high school said they regularly exercised with the goal of increasing muscle mass. Thirty-eight percent said they used protein supplements, and nearly 6 percent said they had experimented with steroids.
Over all, 90 percent of the 2,800 boys in the survey — who lived in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, but typify what doctors say is a national phenomenon — said they exercised at least occasionally to add muscle.
"There has been a striking change in attitudes toward male body image in the last 30 years," said Dr. Harrison Pope, a psychiatry professor at Harvard who studies bodybuilding culture and was not involved in the study. The portrayal of men as fat-free and chiseled "is dramatically more prevalent in society then it was a generation ago," he said.
While college-age men have long been interested in bodybuilding, pediatricians say they have been surprised to find that now even middle school boys are so absorbed with building muscles. And their youth adds an element of risk.

PREP YEAR IN REVIEW: Boys Bowling Coach of the Year, Chris Skinner, Jersey
PREP YEAR IN REVIEW: Boys Bowling Coach of the Year, Chris Skinner, Jersey
JERSEYVILLE — Coach Chris Skinner's Jersey High boys bowling team went where no Panthers had gone before last season.
The Panthers made it to the IHSA Boys State Tournament in O'Fallon. And one of their own, Bowler of the Year Jeff Gump, made it to the final day of competition, finishing 21st.
Jersey, making its first trip to the state tourney, finished ninth with 12,747 pins in the two-day affair at O'Fallon's St. Clair Bowl.
The Panthers had made it all the way to the last possible day of the season - the second day of the state tourney.
"It was an amazing season with a great group of kids," Skinner said. "There is no way I could be disappointed at all. I mean, we were co-conference champs with Highland, won a regional and got all the way to the second day at state.
"There are a lot of teams that would like to trade places with us, I'm sure."
Lincolnshire Stevenson won the team championship with 13,381 pins followed closely by Rockton Hononegah with 13,321. State tourney host O'Fallon was third with 13,240, followed by Machesney Park Harlem and Lockport tied at 12,1110 each, Orland Park Sandburg 12,915, Cahokia 12,825, Tinley Park Andrew 12,816, Jersey 12,747, Plainfield North 12,635, Collinsville 12,579 and Chicago Morgan Park 12th at 12,476.
"We were already finished and we were watching the late scores come up," Skinner said. "We were waiting on Cahokia to come in. They bowled an 1,149 last game and got past us."
Gump was the Panthers' top finisher, coming in at 21st place with 2,689 pins. His series scores Saturday were 678 and 645 and his top game score was a 248.
Jersey senior Jacob Freand finished 25th with a score of 2,664. He had series scores of 651 and 670 Saturday and his top games were a pair of 243 scores. Senior Brandon Handler finished 45th with a grand total of 2,605. Saturday, he had series of 659 and 674. His top game was a 255.
"Those three guys who had really nice tourneys," Skinner said. "Overall, our team did a good job. Our guys are always there for each other and there's always been someone to step up when we needed it."
The rest of Jersey's scores included senior Dane Farmer who had a grand total of 2,395 on Saturday series scores of 569 and 555 that included a top game score of 201, and senior Kevin Mangrum, who had a two-day total of 2,394 on Saturday series scores of 591 and 608 with a high Saturday game of 224 in the first game of the day.
"These boys finished as a top 10 team at state," Skinner repeated. "That sounds really good."

"… you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light"
1 Peter 2:9
Covenant of Church of the Sojourners
By this statement we express our covenant with one another under the lordship of Jesus Christ. We remember that we are a chosen people. That is, we did not choose God, but God chose us in Christ. Nor did we choose each other; rather he chose us and gathered us together to serve him.The covenant God made with all his people thousands of years ago encompasses and surpasses the covenant we now make with each other. And we remember that God covenanted with us, not because of any merits of ours, or because we are great in number or gifts, but rather he chose us to be his own people because he loves us. So we know that we are in the hands of our loving father and that therefore all will be well.
Therefore we affirm our status as extranjeros in this land. Yet we are not people without citizenship; rather our citizenship is in another country, one whose monarch is Christ, the servant king. We pledge our allegiance only to that king. We do not have a bill of rights that claims life for ourselves but rather a calling to live as our king lived. Though he was God, he made himself nothing and became a slave. We forgive when we are sinned against and accept the pain it causes, knowing that we too are sinners.
We pledge faithfulness to God's economy: that economy where authority is revealed in servanthood and loves its way rather than forces its way. An economy where strength is shown in weakness. Where the poor are blessed and the rich are made low. Where God chooses the weak and powerless to be his royalty in order to demonstrate his glory. An economy that is foolishness to the world around us. We do not struggle to satisfy our own needs but to give ourselves away because we are fully supplied by God. Not needing to find ourselves through self-realization, we are confident of our worth and importance as irreplaceable parts of Christ's body.
Not claiming control of our individual lives and decisions, we offer them to you. Determined to seek first Christ's kingdom, we seek to order our lives by its values and submit to his lordship through this local expression of his body, believing that in that way we will together arrive at the full stature of Christ. It is our desire to live out life in listening response to Christ's call. Where he calls us to love one another, we shall do so, learning from him and from each other the art of loving. Where he calls us to servanthood, we shall humbly offer ourselves. Where he urges us to become holy as he is holy, we will abandon false pursuits of the world and will receive thankfully the correction of our sister or brother.
We affirm that our confession of Christ means that we will live out our discipleship in union with others, that together we are one expression of his body, that the church is God's tool for accomplishing his objective in the world. Together, we wish to be a light to the world showing his love and calling others to join his people.
Because of this and my desire to grow into true servanthood, recognizing that light is discovered only when I choose not to claim life for myself, I give my life away, no longer living for me but living for you, loving you, shepherding you, living with you. I have abandoned my destiny to the Lord. I affirm that his Spirit works through his people. Short of a violation of my conscience, I will defer to the voice of this church and its gifts as it speaks to my life. I trust that you will honor me as part of your family and will not take my offering lightly.
Now, then, we are one body. We are born of one Spirit and seek our strength from one source. We shall be together for as long as God allows. We rejoice in our unity, a gift of our Father. And we go forth, together, in his service.
These are books written by Sojourner authors.

On the fourth of July we celebrate Yahweh's Kingship. Here's why, and how, we do it.
