We have been in full half term mode this week… my routine has gone out of the window, pyjamas are the new uniform, I have barely had time to pick up a crochet hook, but I have been loving it! I love half term. I love spending time with the children without having to share them with the school system and 30 other 6 year olds. But at just 1 week long, they go back to school before I feel the need to list them under 'free to a good home' on Ebay.
Twinkle has been learning to crochet and spent a glorious morning teaching her bestie how to chain stitch. Look at the concentration on their beautiful faces!
I took full advantage of the lack of school runs and got out my WIP tin and decided to finish off a few projects which I had been neglecting.
About a year ago I discovered the joy that is the blog 'Look at what I made'. Its author is the amazingly talented crocheter and blogger Dedri, who generously provides a lot of her beautiful patterns for free. Her patterns are so easy to follow and she has step by step picture guides which makes even the tricky bits manageable. Her Sophie's Garden CAL (which grew into Sophie's World and then Sophie's Universe) really took off in 2015.
I completed my Sophie's Garden about 5 months ago but hadn't sewn in all the threads (of which there were many!) I planned to frame this large square and bought a box frame with the assumption that my project would magically grow to exactly the size of the frame. My optimism was misplaced and it is about 1cm to big to fit. I can only assume this must be fates way of telling me this frame is destined for something else…something which probably involves me buying some more lovely yarn!
Anyway, here it is…I have finally sewn in all the loose ends, but it still needs a bit of blocking…
Dedri, has the most wonderful eye for colour. I used her colour recommendations from the Stylecraft DK range. This yarn has a huge range of vibrant colours and is so reasonably priced.
The flower details on this piece are so cute and it was really enjoyable to crochet. It almost felt like a crochet sampler, and I learnt a few stitches I hadn't tried before, like the crab stitch.
If you aren't comfortable with such bright colours there are plenty of other suggestions and pictures of other examples, including the full 'Sophie's Universe' if you are feeling really motivated, on her page.
I want to make another one almost entirely in white with just accents of colour for a friends baby once I know what they are having. It is the perfect size for a pram blanket.
The repetitive elements of the piece is worked in 12 parts. This makes it a perfect pattern for a clock face. I made a variation on the central mandala to make a clock for my kitchen which I mounted on a round wooden board.
As you can see my crab stitch is still bit wonky…maybe it will improve on the next one!
The winner of my last giveaway is Peggy Clayton. Congratulations! Email your address to email@example.com and I will send your crochet rose out this week. Thank you so much to everyone who took part, I loved hearing all about your favourite flowers. Keep your eye out for another giveaway soon.
I have a hook-a-long board on my pinterest page:
This board is for crocheters to post pictures of projects they are working on, or ones they have seen and really liked. If you want to join in, comment below or leave a comment on one of my pictures on the Hook-a-long board and I will add your name to the contributor list so you can add your photos.

2. Cancer – there are over two hundred different types of cancer that can develop in our body. By the time you get to know about the disease, they become life threatening and untreatable. The only chance to survive from cancer is to get it diagnosed in the early stages.
3. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) – this is a kind of disease which causes a sudden death of infants between 28 days to one year. It is a unpredictable disease which ends life before it starts. SIDS deaths do not happen due to the inherent sickness of the infant.
4. Type 2 Diabetes – type 2 diabetes can be caused even before induviduals are born, but it does not show any outward symptoms.
5. Obesity – according to a study about 200 million adults are at least 50 pounds overweight. Obesity leads to several other disease like diabetes, thyroid cancer, heart diseases, and strokes.
6. Obstructive sleep apnea – in this condition there will be no symptoms and the individual will be normal in doing his daily routine, but during the sleep his airway gets blocked which results in death.
7. Aneurysms – the disease is characterized by weakening of blood vessels at the point it bursts, it usually occurs in heart or brain. When the blood vessel bursts it causes hemorrhage, which results in sudden death.
8. Heart diseases – heart diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. The symptoms of heart diseases are unmistakable like burning in the chest or numbness of a body.
9. Osteoporosis – this disease is caused by weakening of the bones, it does not bring the individual to death but it is extremely painful. People in their older ages are at a risk of this disease.
10. Mesothelioma – it is a kind of lung cancer which is different from other cancers, it is caused due to the prolonged exposure to asbestos.
Healthy eating habits, exercise for at least thirty minutes a day and avoiding consumption of alcohol and cigarette smoking can prevent the risk of silent killer diseases.

Interested in a humanitarian career? The Australian Red Cross is a great place to start - Part 2November 14, 2014
Once you've learnt the basics and have some amount of volunteering experience, you will have a better idea of whether or not this is something you would like to do. If you are interested, the short courses and volunteering stints would have prepared you to take your humanitarian career up a notch.
The Red Cross recruits new aid workers once a year. The Australian Red Cross maintains a register of specialist aid workers who can be sent overseas at any time to support humanitarian field operations. Because aid workers may operate in situations of disaster, violence or armed conflict, the organisation's requirements are very specific.
Eligibility criteria for going on a Red Cross humanitarian mission
Here are some of the requirements for getting onto the employment register of Red Cross Australia:
- Any kind of experience with operating in resource-poor settings
- Some experience with working in humanitarian aid in any setting including remote Australian communities, underserved developing countries or with displaced or vulnerable people
- Specialist healthcare skills in areas of need. Healthcare skills that are in need can vary widely depending on the crisis situation. They can range from nursing and surgery to infectious disease and HIV
- Above average diplomacy, tact and cross-cultural competence
- Critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills
- Excellent health and emotional resilience
- A valid Australian passport or Australian permanent residency status
- While not essential, proficiency in foreign languages is always an additional asset
The Red Cross recruitment process
The organisation advertises once a year for specific profiles. These vary depending on the needs at that particular time. To be selected, it is important that your application must demonstrate a strong match with the profile requirements that are listed. The selection process itself is quite extensive and includes multiple interview sessions, a behavioural assessment centre, profile psychometric testing and criminal history checks.
Upon successfully clearing the above assessments, you are ready for the final step, which is a six-day residential training program. After completing this program and relevant health clearances, you are eligible to join the aid worker register and can be considered for missions.
Mobilisation eligibility criteria
Before mobilising you to any crisis area, you will be required to pass certain tests. These include:
- Complete medical assessment and health clearance
- Police check and working with children check
- Current valid passport
How the Red Cross supports you
Joining the Red Cross as a member opens the door to plenty of opportunities to work in international healthcare. Most importantly, when there is a humanitarian crisis, whether it is caused by a natural disaster or a war overseas, you will not just know about the problem, but you can be part of the solution
The Red Cross supports all of its members on active duty by providing training, insurance, airfares, living allowances and in-country support. Before you leave on any overseas assignment, you will be required to participate in a training program that is designed to help all aid workers function effectively in an international development context.

You're All Wet
No, really, you are. The human body is 50%-75% water, depending on a person's age (children are made of more water while elderly people are made of a bit less). Sure, you've probably heard something like that since grade school, but think about it. It's pretty staggering. And it goes a long way towards explaining why water is so important to us mostly-liquid beings. In general, if we should lose more 3% of our water content, we become dehydrated. If we lose 20% of our water content we won't just dry up like a piece of Melba ® toast, we'll probably cease to exist.
Fortunately, we have water. Water helps regulate and maintain body temperature. Water transports nutrients and oxygen and removes waste products and toxins. It moistens and lubricates your mouth, eyes, nose, hair, skin, joints, and digestive tract. If your body doesn't get enough water you risk dehydration, elevated body temperature, fatigue, decreased mental & physical performance, and heat-related illness.

But how much water is enough?
The old rule of thumb is to drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of water spaced evenly throughout each day. However, it's hard to tell where that rule originated. A landmark study by the National Academy of Science in 2004 set recommendations for women's bodies at approximately 91 ounces of total water (from all foods and beverages) and approximately 125 ounces for men daily. That sounds like a lot of water, doesn't it? Well, it's not that much when you consider that about 20% of our water intake comes from food. Of course, it's always good to have some water handy to ensure proper hydration. Let your thirst be your guide.
Also remember that physically active people and people that live in warmer climates should drink more water than the average person to stay properly hydrated and operating at peak performance. There is also some evidence to suggest that a moderate increase in water intake can decrease the risks of some cancers, heart disease and other illnesses in certain people. However, be sure to ask your doctor about your own personal/family history and risk factors. Water is indeed good for anybody and everybody.
Water and Fitness
If physical fitness and performance is important to you, make sure you drink enough water. Unfortunately, even many active and avid fitness devotees aren't properly hydrated. Are you?
Dehydration has many effects, the most common being fatigue, weakness, headache, lack of concentration and even cramping and nausea. Obviously, a dehydrated body is not working at its peak performance level. So, remember to drink water frequently if you want to reach your optimum fitness level.
Water can also aid in weight-loss. Not only will drinking water before and during your meal help you feel satisfied, water can help to provide energy without calories and is never stored as fat. Best yet, it helps metabolize stored fat. Water is very important for fitness. Properly hydrated, your body can function at its peak. Drink up.

The A.J. Raimondi Award was established by the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery with the goal of stimulating the publication by young neurosurgeons of innovative basic or clinical studies.
It was intended to recognize the spirit of the founder of the journal and, in the same time, the scientific curiosity and investigation ability which should characterize the neurosurgeon. Such qualities obvious belonged to the previous winners of the award, namely Francesco Sala (2002), Vassilios I Vougioukas (2003), Yuichiro Nonaka (2004), Seok-gu Kang (2005), Daniela Ierardi (2007), Anthony Figaji (2009), Ji Yeoun Lee (2013) and Albert Tu (2014). The same qualities can be observed in the paper submitted by the most recent winner Llewelyn Padayachi.
The papers considered by our journal for the Raimondi Award should be regarded as a recognition of this intense research and clinical work and a stimulus for the ongoing projects in the field.
Raimondi Award submissions should be sent directly to the Editor of Child's Nervous System, Professor C. DiRocco.
2016 Raimondi award winner Dr. Llewellyn Padayachi
Awarded paper: The relationship between transorbital ultrasound measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and invasively measured ICP in children.
Llewellyn is a paediatric neurosurgeon based in Cape Town. He has a special interest in non-invasive diagnostic techniques and minimally invasive surgical approaches. His research work in this field has resulted in productive collaborations with advanced non-invasive imaging units in Trondheim and Oxford, a PhD, as well as numerous publications and a patent on a novel non-invasive technique for detecting raised ICP.
Part of this work was presented at the ISPN meeting in Kobe as the Raimondi award presentation.

Hospitals can have all the healthcare innovation they want. But it makes no difference unless hospitals can get their clinicians to implement it into their practice. So, how does a hospital go about doing that? 3 factors should be considered.
The Motivators
There is all this talk about clinician "buy-in". But what does this actually mean? Is it as simple as paying clinicians more? Is it all just a matter of "wowing" the clinician with a new piece of tech nobody has ever thought of before? Hospitals and stakeholders should take into account the motivations of clinicians at extrinsic level and intrinsic levels. Consider these definitions as expressed by Gagne and Deci:
Intrinsic motivation involves people doing an activity because they find it interesting and derive spontaneous satisfaction from the activity itself. Extrinsic motivation, in contrast, requires an instrumentality between the activity and some separable consequences such as tangible or verbal rewards, so satisfaction comes not from the activity itself but rather from the extrinsic consequences to which the activity leads.
Extrinsic motivation, it seems, would be easiest to fulfill. Hospitals would simply have to determine rewards to clinicians for their productivity while adopting a new payment model or technology. Examples could be an increase in pay, bonus incentives, and peer recognition. However, while it does play a role, extrinsic motivators such as money and recognition are not enough. In fact, a McKinsey report revealed that hospitals hold this misconception that clinicians can drive healthcare transformation as long as they have proper financial compensation. But the conversation should start at a much a deeper level. It should include intrinsic motivators. As Toby Cosgrove MD and Thomas Lee wrote in the Harvard Business Review, "Accordingly, discussions with physicians about reorganizing care cannot begin with talk of contracts and compensation. Instead the focus must be squarely on the stakes for patients." I think it would be safe to assume that amongst most clinicians, the primary intrinsic motivator would be the satisfaction derived from successfully treating the patient. This is perhaps why the idea of telemedicine is such a popular one. The promise of this remote monitoring technology can give clinicians a better view on a patient's progress outside of the clinic and help lead to better treatment decisions and outcomes. This, in my view, can appeal very strongly to a clinician's intrinsic motivation, especially if this technology can also engage their patients effectively.
Finding The Right Clinician
Even if transforming healthcare is the best and most obvious course of action, implementing it into clinical practice and amongst an entire staff is another story. If certain innovations, say for example, telerehabilitation are adopted, it will likely have a direct impact on how clinicians practice. And trying to implement this against resistant clinicians will only prove to cause delay and frustration amongst all parties. Hospitals and stakeholders, therefore, have to focus on only finding clinicians that are willing to become champions and early adopters. This is especially true when it comes to technology because there will always be learning involved. And engaged clinicians will be able to provide the right clinical feedback to drive improvements on how the technology can be implemented into the overall practice. Only after these champions become experts in their innovation and produce tangible results will these resistant clinicians come around.
Empowering Clinicians
Healthcare transformation requires tremendous support from stakeholders and administrators. This is especially true if you consider the onslaught of regulatory changes clinicians now face, in addition to the volume of patients and documentation that they already handle on a daily basis. This is why, in addition to finding the right champion, hospitals must provide enough resources, training, and education to support the clinician. Hospitals must communicate with their clinicians, clarify the rewards, process of care, and other changes that will take effect. A failure to do so can cause hospitals to miss the mark on their innovation goals and easily generate a negative response from clinicians.
Yes, innovation in this ever changing healthcare world is important. But you can't forget the clinicians that ultimately have to put this innovation into practice. Implementing new health care policy and adopting new technology without taking into account the needs of the clinician will simply not cut it.

A few members of the Tea Party have wondered why when they hold a rally in a city they have to pay for permits, put up port-a-potties, pay for police details, etc. The Occupy Wall Street protesters don't seem to be required to do this.
Yesterday, Big Government reported:
Two weeks after the Richmond Tea Party delivered an invoice to Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones for costs incurred for previous rallies, we received a letter from the City of Richmond formally stating that the city is auditing our Tea Party.
The Tea Party sent the invoice to illustrate the fact that Occupy Richmond had occupied Kanawha Plaza for two weeks without having to meet the city's requirements for a rally.
The article reports:
The blog Virginia Right reported that the city provided services such as portable toilets, trash pickup, etc. The incomplete invoices obtained from the city totaled $7,000. This was only a portion of the actual costs to taxpayers because the costs of police, helicopter and incarcerations were not included. Also not accounted for was the 24-hour police protection of the Mayor's home after the Occupiers moved their camp next door to the Mayor's house. The Richmond Tea Party, conversely, paid for all services for our rallies, including the police, portable toilets, park fees and permits, amounting to approximately $8,500.
The response by the city of Richmond to the Tea Party invoice? The Richmond Tea Party received a letter from the Richmond Department of Finance saying that the city was going to audit them and requesting some of their financial records.
The article concludes:
The Richmond Tea Party stands for constitutional adherence, and clearly this has been unequal treatment under the law. We stand for fiscal restraint, and this is a case where a mayor used taxpayer money for his personal agenda. We stand for virtue and accountability in government and that is why we have taken a stand. We will be submitting a Virginia Freedom of Information Act request for all city correspondence pertaining to our Tea Party and its decision to audit us. We will not be intimidated and we will not back down. A Richmond attorney and fellow Tea Partier is currently reviewing our situation. Also, the ACLU has also contacted us inquiring about this matter.
The Tea Party and the ACLU working together? This is going to be a very interesting case because it will impact cities all over the country that have charged the Tea Party for rallies while letting the taxpayers pay for the expenses of the Occupy people.

When I was a child, I had never dreamed of becoming a writer. I was groomed to have an entrepreneurial mindset or to become a doctor someday.
My father, who flew from chaotic China in the early 1930's, had high hopes that I would become a doctor. Unfortunately, his cancer arrived first.
My father's death inspired me to write. The events before and after Papa's death were overwhelmingly painful. Surrounded by people who could not understand me, I turned inward and sought solace in words.
I was born in a family that was frowned upon by society. As a veshya or illegitimate child, the stigma of my birth has always made me feel insignificant and invisible. Back then, my fascination with books was my only escape. As a young boy, I must have searched for fictional characters that somehow resembled my identity and who shared similar struggles.
Since I was a child, I always felt like I needed to be fixed. I was never good enough for everyone. I was never an ideal son and much less a brother. In fact, I was never an ideal friend. That was how I felt.
So I turned to fiction as it was my only hope to get a sense of normalcy and also to maintain my sanity. The written word gave me voice. Fiction also gave me a chance to confront my demons. It helped me understand myself and the world.
I still continue to write. For myself. For my sanity. And for those who feel the same way.

I recently visited one of my company's offices and witnessed a match consultant on the phone having a very difficult time. I found out that the person that had called was a female client's mother. The mother had called to complain that the man the matchmaker had introduced to her daughter was not suitable. The matchmaker told me that the mother had already rejected many of the men previously selected as prospective mates, including highly educated and accomplished doctors and Ph. D holders.
I wondered how amazing her daughter must be for her to be so demanding. I found out that she was just from an ordinary family and went to a regular college.
The current situation for single men is often similar. There was a case of one man who always claimed that he would be satisfied with an average woman, but when he actually met a woman he became very picky and critical, complaining about minor flaws and focusing on the areas that did not match his standards. This man's father was even pickier than his son. I thought it may be impossible to find this man a suitable spouse.
It is a common occurrence, and this is a problem. It is difficult for most people to view themselves objectively and they are quick to judge and find fault with others while overlooking their own shortcomings or less desirable qualities. As a result, people tend to think that they are superior to others or that someone doesn't measure up to them or doesn't deserve them.
Primarily it is the parents that are to blame for this. They have turned their children into princes and princesses by raising them to believe that they can have whatever they want and do not teach them how to compromise. In addition, parents often do not teach their children about what the reality of marriage entails, so that the children have only a superficial image and understanding of what it means to be married. Parents need to serve as role models in order for the children to learn properly.
In recent years there has been the emergence of the "golden miss" phenomenon. This term refers to women who remain single until an older age and usually have focused more on their career. Society did not pay much attention to this trend, but I feel it is an issue which needs to be recognized and addressed. These women also tend to have higher standards when searching for and selecting a mate. The golden miss has become a reality and now society is realizing the seriousness of it.
The examples of the man and the woman mentioned earlier are in the same situation. I am very worried whether people who have not learned from their parents about the practical way to live a married life, if they will be able to raise a family properly. Doesn't marriage demand patience and endurance?
I fear that in 10-15 years there will be a higher rate of divorce and increased social chaos.
No human being is perfect, and therefore a perfect spouse does not exist although many people are under the illusion that it does. The task of finding a suitable spouse may be extremely difficult if someone has set such high standards. It is more advisable to find a relatively compatible person and work on developing certain areas. It is hard to get married if you dream of marrying a person that seems almost perfect. Even if someone is able to get married with such a mindset, it's hard to imagine that person overcoming any hardships in the marriage.
If parents want their child to have a satisfying and successful marriage they need to change their child's mindset. Parents need to teach their children that a relationship is a two-way street and requires effort from both people. Children need to know that being in a relationship doesn't mean that you will always get your own way or that your partner will be able to meet all of your needs and desires. More importantly, children must learn to treat their partner the way that they would expect and like to be treated.
It is natural for parents to think that their child is better than others and to want to acknowledge and emphasize their child's strong points. However, parents need to give their children realistic rather than idealized self-images. As a result, people's marriages will be more successful overall.
Matchmaking company Sunoo interviewed 50 match consultants with a minimum of 3 years experience between March 22nd and 26th. They were asked about their experiences with clients and their parents. The consultants discussed how to help parents find their child a suitable spouse, and the most common suggestions are listed below.
10 steps to finding a good son-in-law/daughter-in-law
1. Encourage a more positive outlook in your child; teach them to look for the other person's positive aspects rather than their negative aspects.
2. Allow and encourage your child to have space to make their own decision in selecting their spouse.
3. Don't automatically judge a potential mate based solely on your child's opinion.
4. Don't compare and be so self-conscious. (Don't compare your child to others)
5. Be able to objectively judge your child's potential as a compatible spouse of someone else.
6. Encourage your child to select someone that will support him/her no matter how the situation or conditions change.
7. Share stories and experiences from your own marriage with your child.
8. Teach your child to respect other people.
9. Your son/daughter will be happier if they meet someone with similar educational, socio-economic, and career levels.
10.hen others have a positive view of your child, he/she will be able to meet a good spouse.

Saffir-Simpson scale
Saffir-Simpson scale (săf´ər–), standard scale for rating the severity of hurricanes as a measure of the damage they cause; it is based on observations of numerous North Atlantic Basin hurricanes. First developed in the late 1960s by Herbert Saffir, a structural engineer, to quantity potential damage from hurricane winds, the scale was expanded in the early 1970s by Robert Simpson, then the Director of the National Hurricane Center. In its present form there are two definitive scales: the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale and the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Damage Intensity Scale. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale rates hurricanes from category 1 through category 5 in order of increasing intensity. Each intensity category specifies the range of conditions of four criteria: barometric (central) pressure, wind speed, storm surge, and damage potential. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Damage Intensity Scale, in addition to the wind speed, outlines the damage potentially possible with an associated categorized hurricane.
As popularly employed, the Saffir-Simpson scale is used to give an estimate of the potential property damage and flooding expected along the coast from a hurricane landfall. Wind speed is the determining factor in the scale, as storm surge values are highly dependent on the slope of the continental shelf in the landfall region. A category 1, or "minimal," hurricane has winds of 74–95 mph (119–153 kph), has a storm surge of 3–5 ft (1.0–1.7 m), and will cause some damage to shrubbery, trees, and unanchored mobile homes and some flooding of low-lying coastal roads. A category 2, or "moderate," hurricane has winds of 96–110 mph (154–177 kph), has a storm surge of 6–8 ft (1.8–2.6 m), and will cause considerable damage to shrubbery with some trees being blown down, extensive damage to mobile homes, and inundation by rising water of coast roads and low-lying escape routes. A category 3, or "extensive," hurricane has winds of 111–130 mph (178–209 kph); has a storm surge of 9–12 ft (2.7–3.8 m); will cause large trees to be blown down, some structural damage to small buildings, destruction of mobile homes, and flooding of sea-level coastland 8 mi (13 km) or more inland; and requires evacuation of low-lying residences near the shoreline. A category 4, or "extreme," hurricane has winds of 131–155 mph (210–249 kph), has a storm surge of 13–18 ft (3.9–5.6 m), and will cause severe damage to roofing materials, windows, and doors, complete destruction of mobile homes, flooding of low-lying areas as much as 6 mi (10 km) inland, and major damage to structures near shore due to battering by waves and floating debris. A category 5, or "catastrophic," hurricane has winds greater than 155 mph (249 kph), has a storm surge higher than 18 ft (5.6 m), and will cause complete failure of roofs on residences and industrial buildings, the overturning or sweeping away of small buildings, and major damage to structures less than 15 ft (4.6 m) above sea level within 1,500 ft (457 m) of shore. A category 5 storm requires evacution of all residential areas on low-lying ground within 5–10 mi (8–16 km) of shore.

Applications from 1 Kings
1 Kings 1:28-53
The Story:
When we last left the Story: Adonijah had made a play for David's throne, Nathan and Bathsheba had formed a plan to do something about it and ensure Solomon became king, now we finish up the story seeing David, Solomon, and Adonijah's actions as things pan out. David keeps his word and makes Solomon the King. To thwart Adonijah's plans David sends Solomon riding in on the King's mule and has him sit upon the throne. Adonijah hears of this and flees fearing for his life. Solomon spares his life with the stipulation that he stay out of trouble.
The Application:
Never let Power go to your Head, v.41-53.
Solomon is the King and Adonijah had tried to keep him from it. (See verse 52) It would have been acceptable (maybe even expected) for Solomon to take Adonijah out, but Solomon showed grace and didn't. There will come a time in your life when you will have a place of power. Please don't let that power go to your head. "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lack of accountability is the easiest way for power to corrupt. Your spouse should have access and information about every little detail of your life. This information should be offered without the other party feeling guilt for wanting to know. (i.e. Computer use, phone calls, money spent, etc…) With great power comes great responsibility. Solomon was King enough to have the power take care of Adonijah. Solomon was King enough to realize the end result of his actions in dealing with Adonijah. Have you ever heard the saying, "Just because you can doesn't mean that you should?" The Bible teaches that as we prove ourselves in small things, God begins to use us in larger things. As you grow in your Christian life, don't let the power go to your head. Just because you can, don't!

Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy,""violent" or responsible for their own troubles.
The poll, conducted with Stanford University, suggests that the percentage of voters who may turn away from Obama because of his race could easily be larger than the final difference between the candidates in 2004 — about 2.5 percentage points.
Statistical models derived from the poll suggest that Obama's support would be as much as 6 percentage points higher if there were no white racial prejudice.
This is absolutely repulsive. That the AP writers, Ron Fournier and Trevor Tompson, can actually report on this without any serious analysis makes one wonder whatever happened to skeptical, investigative journalism. There is not even a thin pretense of any kind of objectivity in this poll. It is utterly dishonest and fraudulent.
First of all, the methodology is straight collectivism, which automatically excludes any thinking person. The poll asks:
Given a choice of several positive and negative adjectives that might describe blacks, 20 percent of all whites said the word "violent" strongly applied. Among other words, 22 percent agreed with "boastful," 29 percent "complaining," 13 percent "lazy" and 11 percent "irresponsible."
Among white independents, racial stereotyping is not uncommon. For example, while about 20 percent of independent voters called blacks "intelligent" or "smart," more than one third latched on the adjective "complaining" and 24 percent said blacks were "violent."
How in the world does any rational person answer a question that requires the choice of an adjective such as "intelligent," "smart," "lazy," "irresponsible," or "boastful" to describe a group? Those are attributes that belong to individuals, and only individuals. Any thinking person would be immediately repulsed by the question, and walk away. That leaves only people who already are pre-disposed to a collectivist, or group identity, mindset...the very type of people most likely to be racist. So the poll's format, the "unique methodology of Knowledge Networks," has a built-in bias in favor of racist attitudes, no pun intended.
Secondly, the poll is aimed only at white respondents. But come on now. This is a public opinion poll allegedly intended to show the extent to which racism might affect Obama's electoral chances. According to the opening sentence of this AP press release:
This AP-Yahoo News poll was designed to dig into one of the most sensitive subjects in American politics: racial attitudes and their effect on how people will vote in an election in which Democrat Barack Obama could become the first black president.
Well, what about the people who are voting for Obama because he is black? No inquiry. What about black bigots? No inquiry. What about guilt-ridden collectivist white liberals who think that "they" (blacks) deserve a chance to have one of "their's" in the White House, a very racist attitude? No inquiry. How much support does Obama gain from such voters? No inquiry.
What might happen to his 6 percentage point deficit if the poll actually considered all "racial attitudes and their effect on how people will vote," as the above statement asserts? The fact is that he may actually be politically stronger because of racism. It's entirely possible that more people will vote for, rather than against, him because of his skin color. More likely, the two groups cancel each other out. We'll never know, of course. There will never be such a poll honest and objective enough to explore these questions. And that's fine, except that there is something more sinister going on here.
What I see is the groundwork being set to blame white racism for an Obama defeat, which seems much more likely now than just a few weeks ago. In such an outcome, we will then have to be subjected to four years of the tarring of a McCain administration as being an illegitimate product of racism. It's going to be ugly.
What's even more outrageous is the implicit assumption evident in this poll. Go back and re-read that opening statement. It says only "racial attitudes and their effect on how people will vote." It says not "white racial attitudes" but only "racial attitudes."
Racism is the ascription of certain specific character traits to an individual based on genetic lineage, over which he has no control. It can take many forms, and be practiced by anyone of any background, against anyone of any background. It can occur even within one specific group; such as in the case of someone who claims an unearned credit or prestige based on the achievements of his ancestors of the same race, family, or ethnicity.
But racism has been progressively re-defined in America as being the sole province of whites. There are certainly voices out there that speak out against this Orwellian destruction of language and definitions. The once-venerable Associated Press apparently believes, though, that the PC police have succeeded and that the belief that racism only applies to whites is now accepted wisdom.
I do have one final observation. A bizarre aspect of this poll is that it was directed primarily at Democrats. Given the Associated Press' role as mouthpiece for the Dems, what does one make of this? Are they deliberately trying to alienate a significant slice of their Democratic constituency? Or do they think that they can perhaps shame them into returning to the fold this November, lest they be branded as "racist"?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Do you match your car? Does it express, externally, what you are?
The car I am driving at the moment matches me very well, and that terrifies me. It isn't mine (it belongs to my grandmother, who is no longer able to drive). And I want to say it isn't me – but it is. For a woman of my age, living in Sandton, it makes perfect sense.
"It makes you invisible," a friend observed, and he is right. I am pretty sure that when clients and suppliers see me in it they assume that I have money, and have had money for a while, which must mean I am successful, and credible. I am comfortable without being spectacularly wealthy, and they feel reassured about dealing with me.

Last Sunday there was a Student Mass, I was away myself, but I heard there were many people. We also gathered a small choir and this, people told me, corntributed to make the Mass very beautiful.
We´ll have a film this coming Thursday 23rd, and there you can experience what you could call a very strong sense of liturgy, in quite another situation. Liturgy is not just word and movements, it´s above all to act inwardly, to perform outer actions with a very strong inner significance. We can broader the perspective: all our daily actions could turn into a liturgy. This happens when we get aware of where we are rithe now, how we move the body, how we are menthally present to our being and action. Join for this film on Thursday, and you can get some inpiration for how to get deeper into life.
Also the Taizé prayers have a revival, better supported by the singing. Do you see what I mean? Getting more aware in the singing, really using and develloping the voice opens to a deeper experience, yes to God. Next Tuesday there is a new occasion. Afterwards we´ll go on with investigating a way to an Active Hope, which I think can bear lots of good fruits for those who participate.
And Misia, who´s been faithful to us has a special birthday this Thursday, Happy Birthday to you!
I also got a greeting from Ajosh with a picture from his wedding last month in Kerala in India,
yours br Björn


text: My third ride with a group of scoot's here in Southern Calif. The plan was was to head out to 'The Great Park' in Irvine, and go ride on a helium balloon. SoCal weather was, well, SoCal weather-80 degree's. The group 'thing' has been ton's of fun. Lots of good folks with different backgrounds and a love of scooters. It continues to crack me up watching the people that are watching us. At stop lights, windows are rolled down with kids hanging out waving, it's a blast! Ready to leave my shop(and people always ask, "What's a SYM?" & "What's ADV?") On our way That's what we're looking for My group is up there, and since I'm not at the controls and it has NO wings, me likes terra firma. I left the group early for a lunch date with my son. I headed home past my old flying grounds, The John Wayne Santa Ana Orange County Airport.:huh Great day to be on the scoot!

Happy Monday everyone!! I'm back with another 'my week in pics' post. Sadly, this week's isn't assss exciting as last week's, with me bein' back in England an' all [cries]. However, my week last week revolved around my pals and food- quite literally. And a whole lot can change in a week. I have regained my mojo (yaaaas) and it's in part down to Haim's new album, which I am listening to right now as I'm writing this. I can see it becoming my soundtrack to the summer. It just puts me in a bladdy good mood. Getting to see my pals this last week brought my mood right back up again- it's so nice to see people you haven't seen in a while.
I'm also feelin' proper motivated now with this lil blog and I'm super excited to get goin' on some exciting posts over the next few weeks. But before I get ahead of myself, here's today's post! Enjoy!
Sunday 2nd July
It felt just like the end of an era today, as I said goodbye to my first-year flat and moved into my HOUSE for second year. It's all gettin' v grown up around here, which is equally exciting and fully terrifying. I headed back home after a cheeky pit stop at McDonald's over lunch (diet's going well, eh, Maddie?) and then spent the evening editing some blog pics.
Monday 3rd July
Monday most definitely sums up the week for me. I met my pals Hannah and Isri for a DELISH lunch and had a catch up about all things uni, boyz n life and then spent the evening at Nando's with Britt and Milly. Two meals out in one day and I wasn't exactly feelin' my healthiest, but yolo right? Quality time w pals is what mattered. I'm honestly still dreaming about those pizzas, no lie.
Tuesday 4th July
I got to see my hometown in a new light today, as my pal Beth and her boyf Nathan came to Leamington Spa to have a wee double date with me n Sam. They challenged me to take them to the best places in town and I took my job as tour guide extremely seriously, makin' them endure coffee and cake at the most adorbs café ever, Coffee Architects, whilst also having a couple drinks at good ol' Duke. [Ignore the hangers in the Duke pic; Nathan needed some new hangers for his new uni house- students probs].
In the evening, I had my FIRST band practise at a local recording studio with Samuel and our pals Harvey and Jonny. It went so well and was v exciting. I'm super excited to see where this journey takes us !!
Wednesday 5th July
One of my favourite things about being back from uni is that I can head back to one of my favourite places. I volunteer at Warwick Hospital's radio station, Radio Warneford. It's such a rewarding thing, being able to speak to patients in the hospital, gather their requests and then hopefully brighten their day by broadcasting live hospital-wide in the evening. I love my Wednesday team, they're a crackin' bunch of people and it's always a highlight of my week when I'm back from university and able to head down there.
Thursday 6th July
Today saw Maddie on a mission. Having moved most of my stuff back from university for the summer, I've found that my bedroom is maybs just a lil bit small for all the new clothes I somehow seemed to accumulate during the year. Whoopsy. So, I fully cleared out my wardrobe in 29 degree heat and instantly regretted picking such a nice day to tidy on. Although, now I have a mahooosive pile of clothes to sell/donate to charity, so look out for my insta stories where I shall be floggin' some of me garments.
Friday 7th July
I also managed to get no pics today (up yo game gal, come ownnn). I had a double shift at work (ew) and I wasn't exactly feelin' as happy as Larry and therefore managed to get no pics. Ya'll don't wanna see me in my highly fashionable polo shirt anyways looool.
Saturday 8th July
After a tedious morning shift at work, I was heavily in need of a drink and v excited for the evening. Helloooo weekend! I headed to town and had some drinks w my pals and it was a v fun night. I like weekends.

At the World Gas Conference in Paris last month, Chevron chief executive John Watson highlighted the need for investors and stakeholders in prospective liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects to remain focused on the long-term goals ahead, warning them not to defer new developments due the anticipated wave of cheap United States LNG. New business models are required, he remarked, to keep alive the next wave of projects that would be needed to serve the rise in global demand for gas over the next decade.
The significant majority of this new demand will come from Asia, and from emerging economies seeking to develop gas and LNG infrastructure. Although a recent International Energy Agency (IEA) report highlighted the need for gas to make itself more competitive with other fuel sources, tightening markets are forecasted not to last long as demand is again likely to outstrip supply beyond 2020 – with much of this rising demand coming from new Asian markets.
Critical in the goals to continue developing new gas and LNG infrastructure – and to repel short-term investor wobbles – will be placing natural gas at the forefront of Asia's drives to reduce air pollution, reduce carbon emissions and further expand gas as a transportation fuel – onshore and offshore. Major suppliers now look firmly to Asia for positive momentum and the uptake of new sources of gas and LNG supply, thus fuelling confidence in new projects and ensuring demand growth will continue to be met beyond 2025.
In line with focusing business in this region, the world's leading investors, stakeholders and players in gas and LNG will gather in Singapore this October. Facilitating and driving these business discussions and connections is the Gastech Conference & Exhibition, which will arrive in Singapore from 27 to 30 October 2015, coinciding with Singapore's Golden Jubilee.
The event's four day conference programme features a wealth of C-level executives representing key investor, procurement and supplier interests. Truly reflective of the regional shift, the opening plenary sessions on Tuesday 27 October focus on connecting global suppliers with key Asian consumers, with leadership confirmed from CNOOC Gas & Power, JERA (Chubu-TEPCO), Tokyo Gas Company, CPC Taiwan, KOGAS, IE Singapore, Pavilion Energy, Chevron, ExxonMobil, RasGas/Qatar Petroleum, ENGIE, and more.
Highlighting more specific commercial and technical aspects, the remaining three days of the conference will address 10 highly-relevant topics: gas market outlook, future use of gas and LNG in the Asian fuel mix, contracting, pricing and trading, LNG projects: non-technical risks and deliver, application of innovative technology, shipping, gas as a transport fuel, health, safety, security and environment, emerging gas market developments and investment, and FLNG innovation with containment and storage.
With Singapore at the heart of Asia's drive for economic prosperity and its government's regional ambitions in gas and LNG trade, Gastech will provide attendees an insight into regional and global opportunities, and a unique and first-hand outlook of the city state's overseas energy investment plans. The opportunities for those working in gas and LNG to develop new business and new markets are unprecedented, with the focus firmly on the role Asia will play in leading the ongoing growth of gas and LNG, through key business development, partnerships and deal-brokering.
Gastech Conference & Exhibition is hosted by BG Group. The event is also supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) Singapore, International Enterprise (IE) Singapore and the Singapore Exhibition & Convention Bureau (SECB), and will be held in association with the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW).

Asking a girl to go out with you can be a nerve wracking process. You worry about being rejected or embarrassed and might not be sure of what to say. It takes a certain amount of confidence in yourself and knowledge about the girl you are interested in to successfully ask her out. While an in-person request, even if difficult, is always best, you might feel more comfortable making your request in a letter. Remember, however, you will ultimately have to talk with the girl in person--especially if she says yes to going out!
Learn what you can about the girl's interests, like and dislikes before writing your letter. Chances are you have talked to her at school or while hanging out as friends. If you have never spoken with her ask her friends if she has a favorite type of food or movie. You can use this information in your letter to ask her out on a date she is more likely to be interested in and enjoy. Plus, she'll appreciate you took the time to learn a little about her beforehand.
Write on actual stationary paper, not an email or a text message. A handwritten letter on stationary is not only more personal, but it is more romantic and thoughtful.
Keep your letter specific. Instead of asking, "Would you like to go out with me sometime?" ask if she would like to go with you to a movie on Friday night at 8:00. Let her know that you are interested in getting to know her better and would like to spend more time with her if she is also interested. You can mention a few of her qualities that you find attractive, but your letter is not the time to express all your feelings. You'll have time for that on your date.
Provide an opportunity for her to respond. The tricky thing about asking a girl out in a letter is that you likely won't be there when she reads it. Make certain she knows how to get in touch with you so she can respond. You might think it best if she writes a letter to you in response, and she certainly can, but remember eventually the two of you will be going out in person. Give her your phone number in the letter and start the process of talking to her directly as soon as possible.
More Articles
Things You Will Need
- Stationary
- Add a touch of humor to your letter by acknowledging your shyness and assuring the girl that if she says yes you will have plenty to say on your date.
- Rejection is a normal part of the dating process. If the girl says no to going out with you don't assume there is anything wrong with you or your offer. The timing might just not be right for her or she does not share the same interest in you and does not want to lead you on.

The de Blasio administration, under pressure to get homeless people off the city streets, has asked clergy throughout the city to make room for an additional 500 homeless people to sleep in houses of worship.
At a meeting in lower Manhattan Thursday morning, city officials urged clergy to create so-called "Safe Haven" beds under a de Blasio initiative called Opening Doors.
Unlike city shelters, which have strict rules and curfews and sobriety requirements, Safe Havens are more informal. The homeless can come and go and they don't have to stay sober. The homeless are referred directly by street outreach teams and are admitted directly from living outdoors, skipping the city shelters' intake process.
The city currently has 684 Safe Haven beds and wants to nearly double the capacity, asking houses of worship to set up another 500 beds.
"This is truly God's work," Gilbert Taylor, commissioner of Homeless Services, told about two dozen clergy members at Thursday's meeting.
Assistant Commissioner Danielle Minelli Pagnotta told NBC 4 New York, "Churches have a lot of real estate in the city, and so space is easy to come by in their facilities."
The Rev. Debra Northern of Riverside Church has responded to the call; she's setting up a Safe Haven at night in the church's gymnasium. Northern, who's also a licensed social worker, says it's what the Bible says they should be doing.
"Matthew 25 is a sort of Biblical mandate for caring for those who are on the margins, sheltering those who are without homes," she said.
City officials say houses of worship have already committed to create 314 of the 500 new safe haven beds requested. The city has reached out to centers of all faiths.
On the Lower East Side, NBC 4 New York met Guillermo Martin, who said he's been homeless for five months. He said he would not consider entering a New York City shelter -- but would definitely take a bed in the Lambs Church of the Nazarene on Rivington Street, another newly identified Safe Haven under the de Blasio plan.
The city said it will sign contracts with the faith-based programs, and has a total budget of $19.5 million for Safe Haven for fiscal year 2016. The outreach budget for the same year is allotted at $15.7 million.
Some experts in homelessness who asked not to be identified said while this is a helpful way to get people off the streets and into safer situations, safe havens are not an ideal long-term approach, since they don't require sobriety or work. City officials insist social services will be invested in the safe havens.

As aquarium fish
Eats tubeworms
This species likes to eat tubeworms.
Can nibble at clams
This species sometimes nibbles at clams including Tridacna species.
Frequent feeding
This fish requires feeding several times a day, especially when newly added.
When the fish can find its natural food in the aquarium it requires less frequent feeding.
Well established aquarium with algae
These fish should be kept in a well run aquarium where they can "graze" algae from rocks and stones.
If there are insufficient algae on the rocks, it is important to feed more frequently and supplement with algae rich food e.g. Spirulina.
Requires a varied diet
This species must be fed with an appropriately varied diet.
Requires plenty of space for swimming.
This species revels in swimming and requires an aquarium with ample space.
Any number of specimens
This species can function in large numbers down to just one.
This species is very shy and docile, so one should be careful when keeping it with more aggressive fish.
Hiding places
This species needs good hiding places, for example, between live rocks.
Genus description (Chaetodon)
Some species of the Chaetodon genus are grouped together in what is known as a "complex", since they are so very similar.
Regardless of resemblance, it is important to be able to distinguish them, as in some cases they vary greatly in their needs. Sometimes there are just small differences in colour or pattern, but in other instances it is vital to know where the fish originally come from.
Family description (Chaetodontidae)
The Butterflyfish are known for their attractive patterns and colours. They are closely related to Angelfishs, but can always be distinguished, as they lack the spines on each side of the head of the Angelfish.
A smaller group of these fish will seek out primairily soft corals, like Zoanthus. A larger part of the species will target different types of LPS corals. Butterflyfish are also known to seek out anemones, tubeworms and bristleworms.
Therefore it is important to choose the correct species in relation to the corals wanted, if one desires to keep Butterflyfish in a coral-aquarium.
Bristleworms, tubeworms and other small invertebrates are also a part of the diet for many Butterflyfish.
It can be problematic, with many of these species, to get them eating in the beginning, but many of the species cannot resist live zooplankton or live mussels with crushed shells. Another option is to mimic their natural behaviour by stuffing their food into coral skeletons or stones.
They ignore most other fish and are generally peaceful, therefore multiple Butterflyfish will have no problem living together. One should however be cautious about keeping similar species together unless they are a couple.
As these fish can be difficult to acclimatize and get feeding, it is important to buy healthy fish, to avoid having to deal with more problems. Make sure to check that they do not have parasites or any visible infections.
There are some species that should not be kept in an a aquarium, as they are food specialists and will almost always refuse to eat replacement foods. It can be possible to breed some species, which will eat frozen foods. Otherwise the only way to keep food specialists is by feeding them their natural diet, which consists of live SPS or LPS corals for example.

For those of you that don't know, I'm a big supporter of anything local. Our Cow Molly is now no exception to this. Now, I am VERY passionate about ice cream and will try anything thrown my way and having never visited the Our Cow Molly farm until a few weeks ago, I was in for a real treat. Not only did they have some little calves that could melt anybody's heart, the ice selection was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I did end up spending a fair amount as I was lured in by the mouthwatering flavours, including Bakewell Tart, Snickers, Toffee and Banana, Cheesecake (mouth watering now!) I also gave in to the duck eggs that were on sale too. It was a lovely day to be up there too which made it even better. I definitely think another trip will be due very soon.
They had EVERYTHING you would want - animals, local farm produce, ice cream, beautiful views, plenty of seating, reasonable prices. I am now a big fan of Our Cow Molly and would definitely recommend to anybody visiting the Sheffield area to go and you NEED to try the Cherry Bakewell ice cream - out of this world!

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the period that precedes Easter. Traditionally Lent is a season of fasting and spiritual preparation before Easter. Nowadays, we try not just to give something up for Lent, but also to take up some good habit as well. For Ash Wednesday we hold a simple service of Holy Communion in the evening at St Martin's. Usually we have a dab of ash placed on our foreheads to show God that we are sorry for the wrong things we do in our lives, and to recognise our need for God's forgiveness.
Easter is the most significant time of the year for Christians, as we recall the events of the death and resurrection of Jesus. There are special services that are held on different days in the week before Easter that commemorate the events in Jesus' life around his crucifixion and the resurrection.
Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter. On this day we remember Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem riding on a donkey and the welcome that the crowds gave to him just five days before they turned and demanded his death. In our service everyone receives a cross made from a palm leaf to remember how the crowd's welcome changed and resulted in the crucifixion.
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. On it we remember the events of the Last Supper that Jesus held with his disciples the night before he died. In the past we have held a special service of Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday, and at other times we have held a special Passover meal to recall the special meal Jesus shared with his friends on the night be was betrayed.
The word Maundy derives from the latin word mandatum or mandate, which Jesus gave to his disciples at the last supper: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you." (John 13:34)
Good Friday is the day after Maundy Thursday. It is when we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. In the morning we hold either an activity day for children, or a special all age service. Then in the afternoon we have a quiet reflective service, reflecting on Christ's death on the cross.
Easter Sunday is a great celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, an event which transformed the world.
Pentecost – Late May or early June
Pentecost, also known as Whitsun, remembers and celebrates the day when Holy Spirit was sent on the church. Pentecost is also remembered as the birthday of the church. Pentecost is on the seventh Sunday after Easter. The Holy Spirit (or Spirit of Jesus), is the way in which we experience and encounter God's presence in our own lives.
At St Martin's we often have Confirmation services with one of the Bishops on Pentecost Sunday.
Harvest is an opportunity to give thanks to God for the many blessings we have received from him, and an opportunity to think, pray and help those who are not as fortunate as we are. Our harvest service is usually held on the second Sunday of October.
The Annual Memorial Service is a special service to remember our loved ones who have died.
Special invitations are sent to all families who whose funerals have been conducted by the clergy at St Martin's. However, anybody is welcome to attend, and we find that some families return year after year.
This simple service includes readings, hymns and a short talk. One of the most moving parts of the service is when people come forward to light candles in memory of their loved ones.
Following the service there is an opportunity to enjoy refreshments in the church hall.
At St Martin's we have a Memorial Book recording the names of those who have died. If you would like to record the name of a loved one in the book, please download a form HERE.
Remembrance Sunday services are held on the Sunday closest to 11 November (usually second Sunday of the month), to remember all those who have died during time of war.
At St Martin's we hold a special all age service on Remembrance Sunday, which includes a two minute silence.
Christmas is a very special time of the year, when we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
There are a variety of special services that take place over the Christmas period.
On the second Sunday of December we hold a special Toy Parade Service. At this special all age service, which the uniformed organisations attend, we collect toys which are donated to children living in this country who would not otherwise receive gifts at Christmas.
On the third Sunday of December, we hold a special Messy Church Christmas Party, to which everyone is invited. We have lots of games and activities and food, to help us celebrate Christmas, and be reminded of what the birth of Jesus means to us all.
On the third Sunday of December at 6.30pm, this is a very popular service of nine lessons and carols. The church is light by candles for this very beautiful service, which really gets everyone in the Christmas spirit.
We hold two special services on Christmas Eve. The first at 4.00pm is our annual Christingle Service. This is our most popular service of the year, and we recommend you arrive early to church in order to get a seat. In this service everyone receives a Christingle (meaning 'Christ Light'), which is a candle in an orange, with fruits and sweets around the edge. The candle reminds us that Jesus, the light of the world, was born at Christmas. During the service all the lights are switched off, and the candles lit. This service includes all the favourite Christmas carols, short Bible readings and a simple all age talk on the theme of Christmas.
At 11.00 pm we hold our Midnight Communion Service, the first Holy Communion of Christmas. Anyone can come, whether you want to take communion or not. The service offers some quiet space to think about the real meaning of Christmas in what is often a rushed and busy time.
We hold two services on Christmas Day. At 8.00am we have a traditional service of Holy Communion based on the Book of Common Prayer, then at 10.00am we hold a short all age service, which lasts approximately 45 minutes.

For Town Council, Please vote for Mike Turek and Liam Somers for a balanced approach to town government!
Mike Turek Endorsement
To all my fellow citizens of Scarborough,
I have a different take on this year's 2015 election for the Scarborough Town Council. I believe that this election is actually our first vote for next year's budget, and we must be vigilant and careful as to whom we elect as the steward of our money.
It is no secret that the way that the current Town Council is comprised, that they have abdicated its fiduciary responsibility and avoided taking the utmost care of our tax dollars. Since Tom Hall has become the Town Manager, the Town Council, along with his guidance, and their blessing, has enabled them to more than double Scarborough's debt which now stands at close to $ 100-millon; and within the next year or two, the Town will be looking to add another $20-30 million dollars in debt as it seeks your approval for a new public safety building and an upgrade to the primary and middle schools.
We, the citizens of Scarborough, need responsible leadership and a conservative approach to fiscal responsibility, and there is only one candidate running for office who fits that bill…. MIKE TUREK.
Mike is the independent voice that this town needs. He has no ties to any town sponsored organization, and he is not predisposed to any particular group or special interest group. He is the voice that this town needs as a guardian of our financial future, and the man you can count on to try and utilize our tax dollars wisely.
I urge you to vote for MIKE TUREK for Scarborough Town Council.
Bob Rovner
Turek Suggests Changes to Scarborough town Budget Process
Two questions keep coming up in 'listening sessions' I have with people in town: "What would you do as a Councilor to change the contentious way we handle the school budget every year?" And, " What would you do to stabilize the real estate taxes in Scarborough?" The two questions are linked by a three-pronged, common solution.
- We should change our fiscal year to match the State of Maine fiscal year, or on to three months thereafter.
- We should go to a two year budget cycle like the State of Maine.
- We should limit our municipal and school budget increases to 3% per year.
Changing our fiscal year to match the State of Maine fiscal year, or three months thereafter takes the guess work out of our budget formation process. Every year I hear of our proposed budget in terms of what the State might provide in general purpose aid. That question goes away if we have our fiscal year after the State's.
Going to a two year budget cycle has huge benefits. It cuts the annual fight over the school budget in half. It allows the Town Manager and School Superintendent to make longer range plans than one 12-month period. They can spend more time managing their respective areas, and less time creating and fighting for a budget.
Limiting our municipal and school budgets to 3% per year will stabilize our tax rate. It will give the Town Manager and School Superintendent a number with which they can work without attempting to guess what the citizens may be willing to accept each year. Limiting the budgets will in turn stabilize the mil rate near 3% increases. Limiting the budgets will allow us to pay down our $100 million debt while putting money into our fund balance for future 'emergency' needs like the new fire truck last year.
Thank you for considering me as a candidate for Town Council.
Mike Turek
Open Letter to Scarborough Voters from Mike Turek
An open letter to all Scarborough voters.
I am Michael Turek; and I am running for a seat on the Scarborough Town Council. My vision is of a Scarborough that enjoys sustainable, affordable growth. My priorities are:
–A quality education system that meets State standards while preparing future generations of Scarborough residents.
–Grow business investment. More businesses would provide more tax money to the town and relieve some of the burden off home owners.
–Reasonable taxes. If we limit our budget increases to 3% or less, we can grow our town and schools without huge tax increases each year.
–Decrease the town and school debt so more money is spent on services and education and less on servicing the debt.
If you watched the candidate's night on Channel 3 Wednesday, 30 September 2015, you would see the distinct difference between my views and the other candidates. They had a smooth, polished presentation, but no concrete ideas or suggestions. I, on the other hand, offered three solutions to the problems in Scarborough:
–Keep all budget increases to 3%. This allows the Town Manager and School Superintendent to plan long range and set priorities year to year. There were detractors to this plan among the candidates. They said it couldn't be done. The Manager and Superintendent are highly intelligent men capable of making this work, if only the Town Council demands it.
–Decrease the town and school debt so more money could be spent on services and education and less on servicing the debt. Our town is presently nearly $100,000,000 in debt! We spend almost $3,000,000 a year to service that debt! What could we do with $3,000,000 every year? A lot.
–Change the way we make budgets. Go to a two year budget cycle like the State has. Immediately we would cut the annual bickering in half. The Town Manager and School Superintendent could make longer range plans and operate freely without having to prepare annual budgets. This would take a Town Charter change.
–Change our fiscal year to match the State's. We presently prepare budgets without knowing how much General Purpose Aid (GPA) the State will give us in the State budget. We must do this because our fiscal year begins 3 months before the State's. If we realign our fiscal year to 1, 2, or 3 months after the State's, we would know how much GPA the State is giving us. This would take a Town Charter change.
I can promise 3 things.
–If elected, I will stick to my vision, my priorities and my suggested ideas.
–If Mr. Caiazzo and Mr. Rowan are elected, your property taxes are going to climb at an alarming rate over the next 3 years. Both want more money for the schools. Mr. Ciazzo actually presented a school budget last year that was a 12.6% increase over the previous years; and he called it reasonable!
–If these men are elected, the town debt will almost double in the next 3 years. Both want new schools and have grand ideas, but it will take a huge increase in debt.
I am asking for your help in getting elected to the Town Council. Most critically, I need your vote in November. Secondly, I need money. This campaign is getting very expensive; and has drained all my personal money. Any campaign contribution can be sent to Turek for Town Council at 11 Bayberry Lane, Scarborough. I sincerely appreciate it.
Please Support Mike Turek for Town Council
Dear Fellow Scarborough Residents,
I am Michael Turek (Mike), and I am running for a seat on the Scarborough Town Council. I am asking for and would greatly appreciate your support and your vote on Election Day this November.
I am running because it is important to me to give back to the community in which one lives. Although there are many great things in Scarborough, there are several areas where improvement is needed, specifically:
- I envision a prosperous town that enjoys sustainable, affordable growth.
- I believe we presently carry too much debt, almost $100 million.
- I believe we are presently driving out long-time residents and young homeowners, by attempting to raise taxes that are unsustainable and unaffordable.
Although I have no previous experience as a publically elected official, I want to bring fresh ideas and positive solutions to the Town of Scarborough by serving on the Town Council. Now is not the time for business as usual which has resulted in divisive issues that have defined and been ignored by our Town Council in the past several years.
I have been a frequent attendee at Town Council and Board of Education meetings over the past few years often questioning the level of school spending. However I am not anti-school as some erroneously may infer. A strong school system as we have in Scarborough is important to the community in a variety of ways, and I support a balanced and reasonable approach to spending.
All campaigns are expensive and run on money. Money is something I have very little of these days. Most people are in the same situation. Still, I am asking for a donation to my campaign.
My brief write-in campaign for the School Board last year was my first foray into public office. Despite being added as a write-in candidate only weeks before the election, I was able to garner 1,284 write-in votes. One lesson I learned was how expensive these runs can be. To demonstrate, I give the following examples of planned expenses. There always seem to be more that pop up during the campaign:
- Campaign signs for road side: $500+shipping
- Candidate photos for newspapers: $100
- Local newspaper advertisements: $150 each. With only six Fridays available for advertising until Election Day, that totals $1,050 alone!
- Bulk mailing postcards: $0.39 each card (pays for card and postage). This would come to over $1000 to send a card to every household.
- Palm cards to hand out as I meet and greet people: Unknown at this time.
- "Robo" calls, if I decide to use them: Unknown at this time.
As you can see, this totals $2,050! Our goal is to raise $3,500 by October 1st. Your donation of $25, $50 or $100 will help me raise the funds needed to successfully launch this campaign. I humbly ask for your support in helping us rise to this great challenge. I hereby pledge to donate any unused funds or funds raised over my goal of $3,500 to the Parent Teacher Associations in Scarborough, to be spent as they deem most useful to the students and teachers.
I would appreciate any help you may give. Please make checks out to "Turek for Town Council" and mail to 11 Bayberry Lane, Scarborough
Thank you.
August 4th School Budget Vote
it was very interesting to see Council Chair Holbrook trying to justify the council's actions at the last meeting when they gave back $ 180,000.00.
these dollars will be coming from the municipal side of the budget by having the town's department heads cut their previously approved budgets, and then appropriate another $ 200.000.00 that will be coming from excise taxes that have not been collected.
Chair Holbrook wished the town's finance committee "good luck" in trying to find the money from somewhere.
the current net result of all this "fiddling" with our money by the council leaves us, the taxpayers, with the school board having been granted a 5% increase over last year's budget, and this is without any consideration being given to the $884,000.00 that the school has already received by the state.
by their actions this year, the council has set the town up for a tremendous increase next year… for next year we, the taxpayers, are already facing a budget increase of 4% and that's even before the school board chimes in regarding their needs…. so at this point, before any conversation, before any haggling, before this year's budget is finalized, we are behind the 8-ball even before we get started on next year's budget.
keep in mind, that all of this is without the town wanting to discuss anything about the 13-million dollars for new public safety complex, and 20/25-million dollars the school board is looking for in order to upgrade the middle school and the primary schools.
the town of scarborough is already carrying 100-million dollars in debt.
Vote NO on August 4th (or earlier if you are voting early)….send a message to this town that they need to budget properly for all their citizens, and that they have a fiduciary responsibility to do so.
thank you,
bob rovner
