Robert Spencer Recommendations
We were out one night and a fellow traveler said that he thought we should kill all the muslims. I said "No. They just follow a bad ideology. When we say islam is a religion of peace, we are propagating a dangerous lie. People are just too lazy to read the koran, or anything analytical on the subject." But, I started thinking about some of the suggestions, from more rational souls, and decided to post them. Here are Robert Spencer's suggestions from his book "The Truth About Muhammad", and tomorrow I will post Mark Stein's suggestions. BTW, I agree more with Robert Spencers,,,,
"1. Stop insisting that Islam is a religion of peace. This is false, and falsehoods are never productive. There is in fact no need for the president of the US or that prime minister of Great Britain or any Western leader to make any pronouncements about the nature of Islam at all. They would be much wiser to limit themselves to declaring that their foes wish to impose Islamic sharia rule upon their countries and the world, and that they are going to lead the resistance to that.
2. Initiate a full-scale Manhattan Project to find new energy sources. During WWII, the US invested millions and set the brightest scientific minds in the world on the atomic bomb project. A similar effort must be made today to end the Western dependence on oil from the Islamic world – a dependence that deforms the foreign policies of Western nations, preventing them from taking all the steps that they must take in order to defend themselves from the jihad that Muhammad preached.
3. Make Western aid contingent upon renunciation of the jihad ideology. If Western states acknowledged the existence of a global imperialist Islamic imperative, they could make aid to states like Egypt and Pakistan – in which secular governments generally tolerate the proliferation of jihadist teachings in mosques and Islamic schools – contingent upon the active rejection of those teachings and positive steps against them by the governments of each state. These countries and others profess to reject the contemporary jihad of Osama bin Laden and like-minded mujahedin; let them make good on their rejection, if it is sincere, by developing programs for Islamic schools that explain why Muhammad's exhortations to warfare and supremacism no longer have merit in today's world or in the future.
4. Call upon American Muslim advocacy groups to work against the jihad ideology. Instead of endorsements of the US Constitution and American values, Islamic institutions in the US are filled with jihadist propaganda against Jews and Christians. A 2005 report by the Freedom House Center for Religious Freedom found material in American mosques teaching hatred of non-Muslims and stating that apostates from Islam should be killed, in accord with Muhammad's directive. Here again, American Muslim organizations profess to reject the jihad of Osama bin Laden, but have been slow to back up their words with deeds. Five years after September 11 there are still no organized, comprehensive programs in American mosques and schools to teach against the jihad ideology or confront the elements of Muhammad's life that today fuel jihadist violence and subversion. This is not surprising given the pedigrees of such groups (the Council on American-Islamic Relations, for example, emerged from the Islamic Association of Palestine, a Hamas front) and the centrality of jihad in Islamic theology, but government officials and the mainstream media nevertheless generally treat these groups as moderate. Courageous officials and politicians, if any exist today, should challenge these groups to put up or shut up – to produce genuinely moderate and reformist initiatives that teach against Muhammad's warlike example, or to stop posing as moderate groups. And government and law enforcement officials should accordingly stop regarding these groups as trustworthy, loyal moderates who accept Western pluralism without reservation.
5. Revise immigration policies with the jihad ideology in view. Western nations should develop immigration applications that ask hard questions about the applicant's views on pluralistic societies, religious freedom, women's rights, and other features of Western societies challenged by elements of Muhammad's teachings and Islamic law. Of course, savvy intelligence officials would not expect honest answers in all cases, but the very presence of such questions would make it clear that those who hope ultimately to transform Western republics into sharia autocracies are not welcome in those republics, and those who are found in them will be prosecuted and expelled. The need for immigration policies with such a focus has been obscured by fears of 'racism,' but this is not a racial issue. Muhammad's teachings are available to all races, and people of all races adhere to them. "

Robert Spencer is a hero! Islam as practiced by the Islamofascists will never be peace because if Earth ever became ruled by Sharia Law all the multitudes of Islamic factions that hate each other would keep fighting each other forever.

Currently our game is on an extended pause. Things will pick up again, hopefully soon.
Extended Pause
The Sleeper Awakes
Just two months since my last post, and three months since our last game session, yet it seems like a year has gone by. I sort of feel like Graham, the main character of an H. G. Wells novel by the same title as this post. Graham slept for over two hundred years only to awaken in a completely transformed world. Unlike Graham, however, the lack of GURPS activity has done nothing to help me realize my dreams, and the world really hasn't changed much in the past few months. As a matter of fact, Ardania has remained exactly as we left it, with our party of adventurers packing things up following the skirmish with the bandits, and preparing to continue their quest for the lost stronghold of Quasqueton.

Ardanian Magic, Part 3: Academic Ritual Magic
Master of Arts, Intellectual Philosopher of the Arcane, Learned Sage of All Things Magical: Such garnished titles can often be heard in reference to the Ardanian wizards of the world. Contrary to Elves, the vast majority of mages in Ardania put their effort into the scholarly study of Thaumatology, focusing on specific paths such as Body Control, Fire, and Sound. This ritual magic system is the topic of this final post in this short series on Ardanian Magic. Continue reading
Ardanian Magic, Part 2: Elven Magic
Elves…the name alone brings to mind stories of magic and of a people in tune with nature and the world around them. Proud and haughty, their ancient history is filled with deeds of wonder and mystery. Thus are the elves of Ardania. This post will focus on the magic system which defines their culture and their way of life. Continue reading
Ardanian Magic, Part 1
I've been slack in posting, but there hasn't been much by way of updates. Three of my four players have been out of town for the past week, so we haven't continued with the campaign. I've taken opportunity during the lull to work on game world design, specifically the magic systems of Ardania. The standard magic system in GURPS works great, and the list of available spells is extensive. But it's plain, lacking in color and excitement. I was looking for something more vivid and memorable, something requiring more role-playing on the players part, and something to make magic more central to the story. Continue reading
Game Master, Story Writer and World Builder
I'm taking some extra time between game sessions this week to evaluate where we've come thus far. In my last post I listed a few items I needed to work on, such as awarding character points for the first two sessions, preparing reference sheets and other game aids, and becoming more familiar with the rules such as combat. I also mentioned the need to develop more details regarding the campaign background, and that is what I would like to write about in today's post. Continue reading
Hiking, Running and Daily Travels
How fast can a character walk in an hour? You would think such a simple question would have a simple answer. GURPS provides rules for Hiking, but the daily milage seems much too high. For example, a character with Move 5 can hike 50 miles in a day. Really? Yep, that's what GURPS Basic Set Campaign, page 351, says. However, that answer leaves out some important details, such as how long the PC is hiking, or how fast. Continue reading
Creating Characters
Since NASCAR was scheduled for Saturday night this weekend, the plan was to spend Sunday afternoon building characters, take a break while the kids went to a church picnic, then play through the introductory session Sunday night. As most well laid plans usually go, that is not what happened. Continue reading

Measuring sense of community in the military : cross-cultural evidence for the validity of the brief sense of community scale and its underlying theory
Wombacher, Jörg and Tagg, S.K. and Bürgi, Thomas and MacBryde, Jillian C. (2010) Measuring sense of community in the military : cross-cultural evidence for the validity of the brief sense of community scale and its underlying theory. Journal of Community Psychology, 38 (6). 671–687.

Download (154kB)
This article presents a German Sense of Community (SOC) scale for use in military settings. The scale is based on the translation and field-testing of an existing U.S.-based measure of neighborhood SOC (Peterson, Speer, & McMillan, 2008). The methodological intricacies underlying cross-cultural scale development are highlighted, as are the strategies used to overcome them. Administered in a navy context (n = 270), the newly-developed German measure improves the psychometric credentials of the existing scale by confirming the principal theory of SOC and its applicability across borders and contexts. Future research is encouraged to build on the strength and flexibility of the existing U.S. instrument for further cross-cultural scale development, thus enabling SOC theory to attain its international potential.

Robert is a serious type, with rare bursts of humour. He is the Ulfric for the Spirit Rock Clan and the C.E.O. for C.L.A.W., and still takes on a few clients for personal training.
A tall African-American man, apparently in his mid thirties, with dark brown dreadlocks to his mid-back. He wears a neatly trimmed beard, and moustache, slightly darker than his hair, and his eyes are set back a little, dominated by the heavy eyebrows. Despite that, his face has an angular shape, his cheekbones high and sharp. His choice of clothing reflects his practical nature, the sleeveless waistcoat made from brown leather matching the serious brown eyes, covering a light brown cotton top. Worn black jeans are held loosely to his hips with a heavy brown belt, and the outfit is completed with a pair of sturdy boots. He wears a strand of leather around his neck, hanging a small stone from it. He is well kempt, neatly turned out.
Born and raised in New Mexico, Robert was a border patroller until he was twenty-five. A rogue were-wolf changed his life forever, attacking him and his partner, killing the one and leaving Robert badly injured. Robert retired, taking a few years out to gain control and make decisions, his life shattered by the loss of his close friend and the change in him. The pack there helped him gain control, and come to terms with the infection. Around this time, his little sister, Ricci, came to live with him. Because of her and the pack, he forced himself to live, to accept this life and set up some routine in his life, stabilizing it for her. He began to train others in self defense, and advertised himself as a personal training, bringing in enough income to support them, and help the pack.
A serious man, he formed deep friendships within his pack, becoming protective of the younger wolves easily. He spoke only when he had something to say, his voice a low rumble of common sense when he did speak.
The pack there was small, often young and utterly outnumbered when the humans came for them, citing the critter laws, blaming them for the loss of animals in the park they ran in. Robert, knowing he could not beat the many humans with their weapons alone, gathered his siter, and the younger members of the pack that he could find, and fled, leaving the state with the critter laws forever. He brings to the city with him several of the younger pack members, under his protection, to request permission to join the Chicago pack.
Having arrived in the city and met with Jake, their pack had been absorbed into the Chicago pack, and found accommodation. Robert settled into working on setting up his business as a personal trainer and self defence instructor. Shortly after their arrival, Jake, the Ulfric, was killed, and Robert put himself forward for the position of Ulfric. The pack accepted him, and now they are moving on, looking to the future. He has let it be known that wolves within the city are welcome to join him, leaving behind old animosities, to work together to form a strong, healthy pack. At the very least, he expects them to be polite to each other, if the wounds of the past are too much.
The formation of C.L.A.W. had brought new activity and motivation to the man's life, and his pack had shown that most of them support the ideal behind it. The links with the other groups pleased him, working towards the goal of cooperation and communication between groups, supporting their community. It had limited his time for his other work, and so he took on few clients during this time.
Then a rumour that his old lover, Simon, survived that attack in which Robert was infected, despite the stories he was told at the time. Robert left Chicago on the day he received confirmation of that rumour, taking Monty with him at the man's insistence. He left MaryJane in charge of the pack. His recent return was equally as abrupt, with the deaths of many shifters in New Mexico and the attack on the Pack home there. He brought with him some members of those groups.
He met with MaryJane and, by agreement, retook his position as Ulfric.

Find a recipe based on what's in your cupboard
June 25, 2007 Here's a website that turns the cookbook upside down to suggest recipes that use the ingredients you've already got. Type in what's in your cupboard, and Recipe Matcher will tell you what you can make. It's a great idea, but it needs some work; for my ingredient list it told me to make "Avocado and Lobster Salad," and that all I was missing to complete the dish was... an avocado and some lobster. Hmm.
Teething issues aside, Recipe Matcher is an interesting use of technology to turn the cookbook upside-down. When you've entered a list of ingredients, it searches its database of recipes and returns the ones for which you've already got the highest percentage of ingredients. This one could prove very handy for the end of the shopping week!

VIDEO: Vladimir Putin's 'raunchy' advertisement
Valdimir Putin loves to be in the headlines. This time around, the topic of discussion is his United Russia party's raunchy election campaign video, which has been branded as "unconstitutional".
To a soundtrack of heavy breathing, the advert shows the two flirty young voters giving each other the eye at the polling station before she drags him into the booth, leaving officials aghast.
The reaction from Russia's parliament has been one of similar outrage, not due to the sexy content but because it violates the constitution.
According to the Isvestiya newspaper, MP Gennady Gudkov said that he would ask prosecutors to investigate the advert because it illegally shows two people inside the booth.
"United Russia has forgotten that voting in Russia is meant to be secret," Sky News quoted him as saying, adding, "According to the law, a person who drops their ballot in the box should be completely alone in the booth."

Ground-breaking research from Professor Douglas Kell, published in the journal Archives of Toxicology, has found that the majority of debilitating illnesses are in part caused by poorly-bound iron which causes the production of dangerous toxins that can react with the components of living systems.
These toxins, called hydroxyl radicals, cause degenerative diseases of many kinds in different parts of the body.
In order to protect the body from these dangerous varieties of poorly-bound iron, it is vital to take on nutrients, known as iron chelators, which can bind the iron tightly.
Brightly-coloured fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of chelators, as is green tea, with purple fruits considered to have the best chance of binding the iron effectively.
However, despite conflicting reports, the widely-publicised benefits of red wine seem to work in a different way, and have no similar benefits, Professor Kell's paper noted.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Rachel Weisz and Sam Claflin
"From the first page...the reader is back in the moody, brooding atmosphere of Rebecca." -The New York Times
From the bestselling author of Rebecca, another classic set in beautiful and mysterious Cornwall.
Philip Ashley's older cousin Ambrose, who raised the orphaned Philip as his own son, has died in Rome. Philip, the heir to Ambrose's beautiful English estate, is crushed that the man he loved died far from home. He is also suspicious. While in Italy, Ambrose fell in love with Rachel, a beautiful English and Italian woman. But the final, brief letters Ambrose wrote hint that his love had turned to paranoia and fear.
Now Rachel has arrived at Philip's newly inherited estate. Could this exquisite woman, who seems to genuinely share Philip's grief at Ambrose's death, really be as cruel as Philip imagined? Or is she the kind, passionate woman with whom Ambrose fell in love? Philip struggles to answer this question, knowing Ambrose's estate, and his own future, will be destroyed if his answer is wrong.Bonus Reading Group Guide Included
Praise for Daphne du Maurier

4 years, 1 month.
Dear Jack,
I recently realized that of all people, I didn't own an official holiday sweater. Seriously, I'm the epitome of dads who should own one!
A few days ago at work, my friend Sam walked in wearing a holiday sweater featuring two reindeer facing each other, with a giant snowflake in between them.
That's the moment I became aware of my sweaterless condition.
Conveniently, the same day I received a gift card for Target. I was there for probably 30 minutes, not really impressed by any of their holiday sweaters; either too expensive or just not enough character. But right as I officially gave up, I saw it…
A Captain America sweater! Seriously, how awesome is that?!
It couldn't be more perfect.
Turns out, today at your school, KinderCare, it was "holiday sweater day." So you got to wear your grumbly monster sweater, while I wore my new one as well.
So now you and I are both set when it comes to owning that special token holiday sweater. Both of ours are funny, masculine, and awesome… to represent us, right?
I feel that little stories like these really help represent my pride as your dad. I love it that you enjoy making goofy selfies with me.
It's so much fun to celebrate in stuff like this together with you. I keep reminding you that a year from now, the first of the new Star Wars movies will be in theatres and we'll get to see it together. What a perfect time to be a little boy!
You've already expressed interest in Yoda.
And I think daily about how next summer, we get to camp out in the backyard of a new house, that we are scheduled to close on January 29th.
I like being your Daddy.

With the possible quarterbacks coming out in the 2019 draft looking uninspiring, teams that are in immediate need for a good throwing arm are likely looking at other options. The small, yet promising filed of free agents in the QB position might provide the answer.
Teddy Bridgewater, drafted out of Louisville in the first round of the 2014 draft to the Minnesota Vikings has potential. He threw for 28 touchdowns, and was rated a top 10 quarterback in 2015. He then faced a terrible ACL tear that took him out of play for all of 2016 and most of 2017. He played one more game for Minnesota in 2017, putting up 0 completings and a loss of the 3 yards, it was dismal. He ended up with the New York Jets, but was qauickly traded to New Orleans. He was a backup to Drew brees in 2018, throwing for a total of 118 yards and 1 touchdown in week 16's loss to Carolina. Bridgewater hasn't seen a lot of playing time since his injury, but he is ready to keep playing harder. It seems unlikely New Orleans will tag Bridgewater, given they only have around $11 million to work with, and Bridgewater's tag could cost them close to $16 million. To keep him, somebody else might have to take a pay cut. However, Drew Brees is no longer a spring chicken, New Orleans needs to consider the importance of a strong backup, especially one with experience with this team. Can they afford to keep him with thier current salary cap? But can they afford to let him with with an aging (yet sill really damn good) quarterback?
Could Bridgewater be a good fit with the New York Giants? It's not certain he's ready for the starring role, so his value as a backup can't be ignored. Eli's future with the Giants seems to be solid right now, but he struggled in so New York needs to consider their own need for a good second string. Bridgewater could be their guy. Washington and Jacksonville might be interested, but the best fit for Bridgewater will be another year as a backup and getting his knee back into pro-shape.
Nick Foles is the winner of THAT Superbowl, the one in which the Greates Of All Time lost to a backup quarterback. He is the quarterback that should have been a starter three seasons ago. While Wentz is a stellar quarterback on his own, he appears to be made of glass, which has enabled Foles to shine. Whe he's never come close the the numbers he posted in 2013, he's been very consistent. In 2018, as a backup, he threw a 72% completion rate. This man knows what he's doing, and has proven it. Philadelphia would benefit from tagging him and then trading him, hoping to pick the team he ends up playing for, but that might be too consly a rish for Philly if they can't trade him for his price tag. He already payed back the $2 million to get out of his contract, signaling his desire to find a team willing to give him his deserved starting role. Washington would be a perfect spot for Foles, despite Philadelphia's chagrin. It seems unlikely, however, that Washington can afford him seeing as how they are still paying for Alex Smith. Jacksonville would benefit from Foles as well, but it's unlikely they're ready to give up draft picks with Foles as a trade, so this will only be likely to work if he walks as a free agent.

Please note that tarot will pick up TRENDS /VIBRATIONS of PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE - it will pick up anything that is 'out there'true news or false news - either way it can throw light on what is 'in the air' - please bear this in mind when you are reading the insights.
It is very important that 'readers' of the blog understand this, therefore one has to be very discerning when reading. Media news can put out stories that are not factual or are pre -mediated but Tarot can pick that up. It does,nt mean that tarot is wrong, it shows tarot can see what might be suggested. However when writing the tarot it may be taken as fact.
« 11 December 2010 at 17:56 »
I have been asked on the blogger to look at tarot for Andre Bryant who disappeared in 1989. Looking at his date of birth he was, just a few weeks old before he disappeared and his mother killed.
This first card for Andre is not that surprising given the situation. The world card shows that this child travelled on the day of his disappearance and could have 'emigrated' into a completely different area or country for that matter. The Fact that this is the world card shows one cycle of his life coming to an end and as we can only really look to the Ace or the Beginning of the Major Arcana once more for the circle of life, we would get to the Fool which shows him starting out his life's journey again.
He looks to have a completely new life. Uncannily this card has number 21 on it and as I have opened this page it shows that he would be 21 now and that is a genuine coincidence. The world distinctly tells us about a change of residence and locality.
The world does tells us about 'physical concerns' and this might indicate the harrowing ordeal of the mother. The Judgement card previous to this card can show some health concerns and possible need for hospital treatment but whether that is connected to Andre or his mother is difficult to say. One thing is that someone 'came back from the past' to take this child so it would appear that whatever occurred would be connected to someone the child had already been linked with or had been in his company.
Asking tarot where is this boy today I am being given the High Priestess and this card gives us initials B and J which could indicate a place where the child might be or initials of persons that he may be with. The next card is the Empress so that is a mother figure nurturing and often linked to a family of three. This is of course very open ended.
The High Priestess is known for secrets and on the High Priestess is a scroll with written words on it but the story of the text is not finnished. This is not an adoption card particularly and certainly adoption has been mentioned - but it could apply to that because if there is a document with 'some details missing' its a possible indication of the childs details written down with a secret attached.
I honestly think it is hard to pick a country or place for this child and the transportation of him so I would lean towards authorities conclusions that he could have been filtered out into another family and even more especially so with the Empress card next up. There are no obvious signs of 'death cards' here unless he died with the mother, but Im not truly thinking that as it does,nt feel 'right'. Two women do know where he went and I do think they are already mentioned as part of the story to do with the mother. Looking at the B and the J on the card it may be somewhere even in the country but a good clue would be where wheat and pomegranates are grown.
There are also 12 stars on the Empress whether that is useful information or not. But lush greenery and ripe fields of wheat do enter this card. There is also a 'rose' connection here and there may be a 'blonde' mother in the picture. The Empress actually holds an EAGLE in her hand therefore its quite possible that the child would be in a place represented by an Eagle. Therefore the world card can show transportation within the same country but perhaps a different county. Im assuming the 'father' of the child has been ruled out?????
The High Priestess shows that the entire scenario of this child is one of 'mystery'and things going on under the surface, hidden agendas but the tree of life stands behind the High Priestess which is another reason why I would like to be optimistic about Andre.
If Andre is alive today I really do feel everything is in the past and he should just be left to live his life as I have a Yes BUT...type of feeling on that question I just feel like he is,nt with his real family and think about the consequences of that.
This is the card I get when asking whether this child will be found. It seems to be 'fought off' but it is never out of the question. The next card shows swiftness in the 8 of wands so whether it would be swiftly put off should any enquiries be made I am not certain or whether in fact highlighting his case might bring something to the surface. A child who survives and gets transported into another area or family do get curious about themselves so everything is possible.
Andre disappeared from Brooklyn and if there is any possibility he did not survive ( not seen yet in tarot) then the B in the High Priestess would suggest he is still in the same state.
I think he is a gorgeous little boy and whatever his fate is in life I send love and support to him.
Tarot cannot be considered 100 per cent accurate and all trends are over past present and future. There are no guarantees that it can give every detail so please look to other sources for confirmations of known facts.
No news anywhere!! It is very important to keep this little chap profiles. Please let me know if you hear anything for him.
This only.

Cyffwrdd Sir Gâr Touch and Wales Touch Association announce a brand new invitational tournament for the best teams from Wales' emerging leagues to take place in Llanelli on Sunday 19th August 2012.
The top teams from Llanelli, Swansea, North Wales, Rhondda Cynon Tâf , plus two invitational Cardiff teams will battle it out to become the Wales Champions League winners.
The traditional base of Touch in Wales has very much been centred around Cardiff, with a Touch league established in 1991, still going strong. But that's set to change with the arrival of the game in some new territories in recent times.
North Wales Touch in Wrexham and RCT Touch in Pontyclun have been playing the game for the last few years, but it was only in 2010 that the game arrived in Llanelli with the establishing of Cyffwrdd Sir Gâr Touch by the Carmarthenshire County Council Sport Development Unit. This was quickly followed in 2011 by a league held at South Gower RFC and in 2012 by leagues started by the Ospreys Participation Officers in Neath and on the Swansea University playing fields.
Read more about playing Touch in west Wales
In 2012, the time was right to hold a tournament to allow the best teams from each of the five areas to compete against each other. As it turns out, this will be a major turning point for the development of the game in Wales. There has never been a inter-regional championship tournament in Wales, so this will be a first.
The pick of Wales' premier teams are based around the Cardiff Touch stronghold and some of them travel outside of Wales in order to play at an elite level, including teams such as the Durkas and Raptors.
Across the border, England Touch has already established a national competition with a series of tournaments in various venues across England, such as Cambridge, Nottingham, Newcastle and London with teams such as Manchester Chargers, Hot Custard and Galaxy London competing. There are two tiers to the series; the elite, National Touch Series and the Challenge Touch Series for second-tier teams. The aim in Wales would be to create a similar series of ranking tournaments to ensure that the standard of the game improves. This is something that Wales Touch Association is working towards, but Wales is still way behind in it's development of the game in comparison to the number 1 ranked nation, Australia.
In Australia, the National Touch League, is the premier national tournament which allows the best teams from across the country to compete against each other to find national champions in 12 different categories.
It is this bringing together of the elite teams from across the country to compete which makes Australian national teams so strong. There are approximately 250,000 registered Touch players, plus another 100,000 social players in Australia. Not to mention the 500,000 school players that regularly compete in the game!
In Wales around 90-95% of national players play in the Cardiff leagues meaning that there is not a truly representative national team – more like a Cardiff regional team. Considering Wales is the reigning European overall champions, imagine what could be possible if more people started playing the game in other areas!
The Wales Champions League is undoubtedly a step in the right direction with the opportunity for teams to compete at a higher level, as well as the status and bragging rights and an opportunity to shine in front of national coaches and WTA officials.
The Llanelli contingent will be made up of the top four teams in this year's competition; Gower Dragons, Y Mellt, Orangutans and Y Genhedlaeth Nesaf. Other invited teams have not yet be revealed, but it is likely to include four teams from Ospreys Touch, one team from North Wales Touch, two from RCT Touch and two from Cardiff's Touch Rugby Wales league.
It all takes place at the home of Cyffwrdd Sir Gâr Touch, Ysgol Gyfun Y Strade, Sandy Road, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, SA15 4DL on Sunday 19th August 2012. Whilst it is only open to invited teams, spectators are welcome to come and cheer the teams on. Please contact should you require further details.

Power for People, an organisation campaigning for more local, clean energy, today welcomed the support of South West Bedfordshire MP, Andrew Selous, for a Bill introduced in Parliament that, if made law, would allow communities to sell locally generated energy to local people.
Currently, if a community owns a local energy structure, such as a field of solar panels or a wind turbine, they are not able to sell the energy it generates to local people. The Local Electricity Bill, if made law, would create a 'right to local supply' for communities, allowing them to benefit from the money currently received by larger utilities.
Power for People is campaigning for other MPs across the country to support the Bill. Steve Shaw, their Director, said, "We warmly welcome Andrew Selous's support for this initiative. People like clean, local energy most when they know that their communities are receiving benefits from it.
The Local Electricity Bill would enable this to happen across the country." Andrew Selous MP said, "It is vital that communities benefit as our economy transitions to one with increasingly more decentralised and clean energy. The Local Electricity Bill will enable local energy generation to benefit local communities. I will do all I can to ensure it becomes law."

http://www.buzzfeed.com/christinebyrne/fish-in-parchment-paper Here's another one! I believe in the link between brilliance and simplicity- plus I'll be so happy if it's a hit with the future household huzzah The method is calleden papillote in French, and translates to "in parchment paper."
First, prep ingredients all ingredients that you want to put into the packet.
In terms of ingredients and combinations, here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. Only one fish portion per package — think about 6 ounces. Any kind of fish will work, but use skinless fillets if you can, because the fish skin will get soggy when steamed. 2. On top of the fish, you can pile herbs, vegetables, citrus, garlic, and of course butter never hurts. Just don't put anything inside your parcel that won't cook in 15 minutes. If you insist on doing so (like, say, you REALLY love potatoes), cook them almost all the way through BEFOREHAND, then finish them in the parchment with your fish. And use common sense — if you want to include carrots, they should be cut into matchsticks so they cook very quickly. 3. After that, you'll need a couple spoonfuls of some kind of liquid to steam the fish. You can use water, but using wine, soy sauce, citrus juice, or something else with a strong flavor will make your fish especially delicious. 4. Never underestimate the power of salt and pepper. 5. Oil or whatever liquid should go in last, so that it doesn't have time to run all over the place.
Next, fold a piece of parchment paper in half and cut it in the shape of a heart. Make sure it's large enough to hold all ingredients:
I guess the heart shape isn't 100% necessary, but it will make each parcel easier to seal. You'll see. Curry puff!
Put parcels on a baking sheet and cook in a 425°F for about 15 minutes:
A 6-ounce fillet will take about 15 minutes to cook through, but you can't test doneness because you don't want to open the parchment during cooking. When in doubt, leave the fish in for a few extra minutes; all the moisture in the steaming parcel will keep it from overcooking and drying out.
Serve the fish as is, right in the parchment:
Yay! Sounds pretty doable, even for someone like me. I'm looking forward to the day I have my own kitchen and I can try out yummy meals like these! P/S the link above has recipes at the end.

2015 Record: 9-9 (second in West Division/lost in first round of West playoffs)
Team Acquisitions:
(F) Callum Crawford
(F) Jackson Decker
(D) Greg Downing
(D) Ilija Gajic
(D) Jordan Gilles
(D) Josh Sullivan
(D) Bryce Sweeting
(F) Chris Wardle
Team Losses:
(D) Dan Ball
(D) Tyler Codron (IR)
(F) Cam Flint (PUP)
(D) John Gallant (retired)
(D) Ian Hawksbee
(D) Colton Porter
(D) Bob Snider
(F) Alex Turner
(F) Drew Westervelt
(D) Mike Woods
The 2015 edition of the Colorado Mammoth generated 212 goals for, good for fourth-best in the league. Although the departure of Drew Westervelt and his 68 points might seem like a big hole to fill, all of Colorado's offseason activity should provide ample coverage to make up for it.
The biggest acquisition on offense was Callum Crawford. The former Minnesota Swarm star picked up 53 points in 12 games last year, but he has also eclipsed the 90-point mark twice in his career and should be able to slide right into Westervelt's old role on the right side.
Getting a full season out of Jeremy Noble should also pay big dividends. After picking him up at midseason last year, Noble put up 39 points in just nine games, putting him in the running for Rookie of the Year honours. Noble is dangerous and still has tons of upside. He should easily hit the 80-point mark in his sophomore season and could reach much higher.
With Noble and Crawford manning the right side, leftie stars Adam Jones and John Grant Jr., supported by All-Rookie team forward Eli McLaughlin, should be given more room to operate. Like Noble, McLaughlin has plenty of upside and could see significant gains from his 38-point rookie campaign. Jones and Grant Jr. remain two of the most dangerous players in the NLL, with both over the 90-point mark in 2015 (Jones: 93 PTS; Grant Jr. 91 PTS).
Put all this together and you have the makings of what could be one of the most dangerous offensive units in the league. Expect to see these guys light the lamp a lot in 2016.
According to the NLL website, the Mammoth do not have a single player listed as playing transition, including defending Transition Player of the Year, Joey Cupido, who is currently listed as a defenceman.
Don't let that fool you.
Cupido had a breakout season in 2015 where he contributed career highs in goals (16), assists (15), loose balls (117) and caused turnovers (40), making him a big contributor on both ends of the floor.
Defensemen Cam Holding and Creighton Reid were both good for about a point per game last year as well, so they can also turn the ball up the floor in a hurry. The return of Ilija Gajic after a two-year stint with the Vancouver Stealth should also help matters—he registered a career-high 28 points last year and can take a faceoff now and then if needed.
Colorado gave up the fourth-most goals in the NLL last year (218). Part of the problem was that the team collected the second-fewest loose balls in the league (1,023) while also posting the second-worst penalty kill (46.8 percent success).
As a result, the Mammoth's biggest retooling program during the offseason was on the defensive end. Five players are gone, replaced by five new ones. Greg Downing, picked up from the Swarm, is a solid defender who grabbed 74 loosies last year while also forcing 21 turnovers.
Draft picks Bryce Sweeting and Jordan Gilles have also been added to the roster.
Expectations will be high for Robert Hope to build on his 2015 rookie season where he grabbed 72 loosies while forcing 28 turnovers.
If Hope and Downing can solidify the back end and Holding, Reid and Cupido can drive the transition game, the defensive end should be under control.
Colorado has two solid young options between the pipes this year. Starter Dillon Ward (12.55 goals against average, .760 save percentage) had a good sophomore season. When he went down to injury mid-season, rookie Alex Buque was not only able to step in, he dominated in relief, posting a 9.36 GAA and .808 save percentage.
The future looks bright at this position for the Mammoth.
Practice Roster:
Conrad Chapman, Jamie Lincoln, Mike Woods
Chapman, Woods and Lincoln all have NLL experience, so they can jump in and contribute if the team gets hit with the injury bug. Lincoln is back with the Mammoth after spending some time with the Stealth; in his previous stay with Colorado, he notched 74 points over parts of three seasons, so he has the ability to make an impact right away if needed.
Tyler Codron and Cam Flint are currently out of commission (Codron is on Injured Reserve; Flint is on the Physically Unable to Perform list), but both could come back to add depth to the roster—Codron snagged 42 loose balls last season while Flint scored three points in four games in 2015.
Season Outlook:
Colorado has improved themselves on offense and defense going into the 2016 season. Odds are, Ward and Buque will also be better with a year more experience under their belts. All this adds up to a better record for the Mammoth than they produced in 2015. Whether or not they'll be able to hang with the Saskatchewan Rush to compete for the division title or if they can hold off a much-improved Stealth squad remains to be seen, but they dropped both of their preseason games, so they may still need some time to mature into a competitive roster.
Their first official test takes place on Jan. 1, 2016 when they host the Georgia Swarm at the Pepsi Center.

A Content Management System (CMS) is a collection of procedures used to manage work flow in a collaborative environment. These procedures can be manual or computer-based. The procedures are designed to:
- Allow for large number of people to contribute to and share stored data.
- Control access to data, based on user roles.
- Aid in easy storage and retrieval of data.
- Reduce repetitive duplicate input.
- Improve the ease of report writing
- Improve communication between users
In a CMS, data can be defined as almost anything – documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data, etc. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, revising, and publishing documentation. Content that is controlled is industry-specific. (Entertainment content differs from the design of a fighter jet). There are various terms for systems (related processes) that do this. Examples include: Web Content Management, Digital Asset Management, Digital Records Management, Electronic Content Management (and others). Synchronization of intermediate steps, and collation into a final product are common goals of each.
Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.
Drupal is a free and open source Content Management System (CMS) written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. It is used as a back-end system for many different types of websites, ranging from small personal blogs to Enterprise 2.0 collaboration and knowledge management uses to large corporate and political sites, including whitehouse.gov. The standard release of Drupal, known as Drupal core, contains basic features common to most CMSs. These include the ability to register and maintain individual user accounts within a flexible and rich permission / privilege system, create and manage menus, RSS-feeds, customize page layout, perform logging, and administer the system. As installed, Drupal provides options to create a classic brochureware website, a single- or multi-user blog, an Internet forum, or a community website providing for User-generated content.
TYPO3 is a free and open source content management system as well as a Model–view–controller (MVC) Web Application Development framework written in PHP. It is released under the GNU General Public License. It can run on Apache or IIS on top of Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS/2 or Mac OS X.

I used the Little Green Frog Song to help a student articulate letter sounds and also blend some sounds together. This can be effective with students who have apraxia as well.
I have recently changed this activity so that the students can place the letter they are working on, on a lily pad at the end of the song. This also gives them the opportunity to choose the correct letter from a few choices. Another way to do this file folder is to have them put the frog on the lily pad with the correct letter.

This year, 2018, marks three significant occasions: It is the FINAL Pele's Fire retreat held at Kalani Honua, and both Elena and Reiko are bring books into the world. Elena's story collection, The Immigrant's Refrigerator, will be published in February, and Reiko's novel, Shadow Child is coming out on May 8th.
Here is a sneak peek at both jackets, and a final reminder. Today is the last day to apply for the last Pele's Fire. So if you want to join us, let know know now.
Elena Georgiou's exquisite collection could not be more timely. At a moment when America's political response to The Other is triggering a national crisis of conscience, these poignant stories remind us of the vital role that human compassion plays in bridging ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic divides. Inside The Immigrant's Refrigerator, the foreign and the familiar share and trade shelf space. Unspeakable sorrows and distant joys appear in the form of bacon, hummus, homemade bread. Papaya salad. Whatever the delicacy, Georgiou's secret sauce is the essential goodness of humanity. Citizens of Maine nourish Somali immigrants with handcrafted chocolates. A refugee from Niger comforts his grieving host in Vermont by teaching her to savor Brie. Sustenance acquires profound meaning in these tales of endurance, hope, and the abiding power of quiet generosity.
—Aimee Liu, bestselling author of Flash House and Cloud Mountain
A beautifully-woven historical saga wrapped in a page-turning mystery, Shadow Child explores time, memory and identity, shedding new light on the lives of Japanese-Americans, and how trauma can be its own kind of inheritance. Not since Housekeeping has there been a pair of sisters so intricately linked as Hana and Kei, or settings that imprint so firmly on the mind, from the internment camps of WWII to the hidden caves and tropical waters of Hawaii. This is a stunning story of sisterhood and survival, of healing and forgiveness, and how we find our true selves in each other.

The Cenegenics customized healthy aging program goes beyond the recent Harvard Medical School research on nutrition, published in the "Journal of the American Medical Association," to real-life applications, demonstrating the positive impact low-glycemic nutrition has on hormonal balance, caloric control, body composition, glucose metabolism, inflammatory markers and satiety, announced Cenegenics® Medical Institute, the global leader in age management medicine. Pairing foods, clearly defined carbohydrate options and an individualized approach per each patient's baseline—versus the generic ratios applied across the board in research and other nutritional plans—help Cenegenics target a patient's health goals, from insulin management and body fat percentage to improved energy expenditure (calories burned).
A calorie is not a calorie, per this latest Harvard research, entitled "Effects of Dietary Composition on Energy Expenditure During Weight-Loss Maintenance." There is a definite hormonal impact from food as well as a thermogenic effect. The low-glycemic diet proved to have a higher thermogenesis (higher resting energy expenditure) than a low-fat diet. The bottom line: High-glycemic foods elevate blood glucose and spike insulin levels, which results in a higher body fat percentage and more pounds of fat.
"It's not just about body composition, but also the blood values—hemoglobin A1C, glucose and insulin—which indicate the amount and quality of carbohydrate you're eating. We teach patients to not only choose the right low-glycemic carbohydrates within the right portions for their needs, but how to properly pair those foods with lean protein and healthful fats to avoid elevating insulin throughout the day. And it's that approach that continues to help our patients achieve results," Cenegenics Director of Nutrition/Exercise Rudy Inaba said.
Inaba also is the nutrition/exercise instructor for the Cenegenics Education and Research Foundation's (CERF's) highly regarded Physician Training and Certification in Age Management Medicine program.
In real-world applications, Cenegenics nutritionists can widen the door for more variety to see what fits an individual patient, rather than the blanketed 40-40-20 ratio used in the Harvard study, says Inaba.
"By choosing whole-food sources—low-glycemic carbohydrates (primarily vegetables and fruits), healthful fats (high in omega-3s/omega 9s), lean protein sources (low in saturated fats)—a patient has better control of the amount of glucose entering the bloodstream. That helps reduce the amount of insulin present in the blood and, as a result, allows the patient to feel more energized and use the body's fat stores as a primary fuel source," Inaba said.
Physicians can discover the rewarding benefits of practicing age management medicine and Cenegenics physician training/certification program by contacting Dr. Michael Resnick (702.953.1574) or Dr. Tim Patel (702.953.1577).

Iwant to buy the Nero Platinum 2016, and several of the other programs. I was using a free version for a while, but my computer had to be overhauled, and they took out Windows-10 and reinstalled W-7. YAY! I just can't seem to find this answer in all the things I've read. Does the Platinum 2016 still stores, and lets you edit photos. And with the free trial, you couldn't share the photos. Can you do that with the 2016 version? Or do you need another product for that?
Thanks for any answers. I would really appreciate it.

So Lost! Need some answers
So Lost! Need some answers
What was the version you previously had? In v9 and earlier, there is the Nero PhotoSnap Viewer. That has been discontinued. The only editing you can do in later versions is within Nero MediaHome and the editing you can do is not nearly as extensive as you could do in PhotoSnap. Free programs such as GIMP, ACDSee, or Picassa are better.
What type of editing do you want to do?
It was the Media Home version I was using. It would let me download and burn music and it also kept all my photos, and yes I realize the editing was limited, I just wanted to know if the Platinum 16 included the photo section.
I have other apps that I also use for editing. piZap for fun stuff, BeFunky allows me to remove blemishes and wrinkles and several other things I'm not so great at. And for resizing photos, I just use Microsoft Paint.
I enjoy loading my music onto a program that I can then burn cdrs. And it's best if they work with iTunes and YouTube. I do not record and edit videos or dvds. Although I did make my first video of family photos on the Home Media, but I couldn't put music to it. Hopefully you can guide me one which product might be useful. Oh! Like I said, the MediaHome version was a free trial version, but it would often tell me to go to Nero BackItUp. I downloaded that, but quickly saw that it was no longer going to be maintained, so I deleted it.
There you go. My whole Clueless mess. My husband had Nero in the olden days that I used for copying some of my favorite songs and genres and burning them to cd. But that was during the time people were being fined big bucks for ripping off music, and my husband freaked a little and made me stop ripping and burning. But it was so simple to use, even I could do it. So I have looking at Nero products again.
BTW.....I forgot to thank you for your reply. They are always appreciated.

Hi Barb,
Nero Platinum does include Nero MediaHome, as does Nero Classic.
Nero MediaHome used to be a free download, but now they charge for it if you want it as a standalone product ($25 or so?) I'm not sure if it has all the functions though, that you enjoy when it comes as part of the Platinum package?
Maybe someone else can advise about that.
I agree with Lucky Phil but, it's not clear to me what features the newest standalone Nero MediaHome has. The official description doesn't mention the ability to burn any kind of disc other than a copy operation and the ability to burn a playlist. I guess that means you can burn a Audio CD.
If you buy v2016 Platinum (or Classic), you can burn your music to Audio CD in either Nero Express or Burning Rom. Of course, the music can't be copy protected.
I don't know what you mean by "And it's best if they work with iTunes and YouTube."
In Nero Video, you can create a slide show with your family photos to which you can add a separate audio file and burn it. You could also do that with Nero MediaHome in the past but it doesn't look like you can do that in the latest standalone version.
In my opinion, you would be best served by buying Nero 2016 Classic. Platinum primarily adds a bunch of additional features to Nero Video. of course, which one to buy is your decision.
Well, I want to thank you both for the advice. I recently had to reset my PC, and of course Nero Media Home was not one of the apps Microsoft reloaded. I had about a thousand pictures in there. :-( Then my PC started having more and more problems associated with W-10, so I took it to a shop I trust, for a rebirth and to reinstall W-7. I'm hoping when they backed up everything, those pictures were maybe still in there. I pretty much doubt it, but at least in kicked my butt into buying a 64GB thumb drive that I loaded all the photos I could in it.
I have no interest in copyrighting any music I burn to disc. It is strictly for me and maybe a few friends and family. When I did the last rip and burns, I ended up with 3 cds. A "Barb's 60-70's Classic Rock", a "Barb's favorite Country Western songs" (not much on that one) and of course since I was drinking age when Disco hit, I made a Disco cd. And of Course I would like to load music from my iTunes, You Tube and now Amazon Music to copy more songs by Barb.
Looks like I may just have to contact Nero, and tell them exactly what I want to do, and go with their recommendations. I just don't want to buy several packages I will end up never using.
Sorry to ramble on, and on, and on. That was conditioned into me by my mom, so it's kind of a disability. ;-) Thanks so much for offering advice. Like I said, I am so lost!! But, I'll get 'er done! All the best to you and yourn.
Barb M.
In regards to your comment about copyrighting, I think you misunderstood what I meant by copy protection. If use some program to rip files which are copy protected (doesn't matter if they're copyrighted), then you won't be able to burn them in Nero.
If you buy Classic (or Platinum), all the standard Nero apps are there. Things like WaveEditor, SoundTrax, etc. are free and can be downloaded form nero.com.
Well darn! I was almost finished here, went to double check something, I lost everything. So, I lost all of it. First, I a have decided I want to purchase (for new installation) the Platinum 2016 and a couple of other packages. However, I have to ask this question first. I recently started having problems downloading songs I purchased from iTunes. I won't get detailed unless you want more, but it appears that the folder that iTunes had been loading music to, is lost. The music I bought can't be downloaded because it can't find where it's supposed to go. I'm working on that.
The reason I had to ask before I commit to buying the Nero software, is because I started having the iTunes problems shortly after installing the Platinum Trial package. And the Home Media was downloading all my music files almost right away since I had not yet told it what to track. Everything I had in my iTunes account was copied in the exact layout, to Nero. Like a mirror image. It also copied my Amazon music.
Then after all the trouble started, I opened Nero Media Home, and immediately saw the number of total songs dropping. I reset it as fast as I could to NOT follow iTunes, but I suppose I was too late. Now, when I open the music files in Home Media, I find almost the complete list of music from iTunes and Amazon. However, what I am seeing now, are all the iTunes files including the 3 new songs I bought. But, depending on what list I had songs on, if I try to play anything from iTunes the list shows up, but it's like Nero doesn't see the song. It shows the name of the song at the bottom of the page, and how long the song is, but won't play it. And in other lists, it shows the song and it looks like the song is playing, but there is no audio, except an occasional noise (maybe background noise).
So, I need to be certain that the Nero trial package did NOT cause this problem, and it all is in an Itunes "stolen file" is what it appears to be what they are calling it.
I think iTunes is the problem. But it just nags at me that the iTunes problem didn't start until I loaded Nero. I still want to purchase a new installation of either the Platinum and some other software packages, or I just noticed an The Classic in your products, and it may be all I am looking for.
So, could I get an honest opinion on if it was possible that installing Nero started causing these iTunes problems? And if you are sure it had nothing to do with iTunes, if I purchase and install the real deal, could the iTunes problems I am having have any impact on my brand new Nero....whatever I buy?
Sorry about the long message. I had to dig to find this topic again. I couldn't find a link to HELP ME in nero.com. It must be for purchasing only? I will wait to hear back from y'all before I buy anything. And I really appreciate your patience with me. I can be bothersome when I get confused about something.

I have i-Tunes installed along with Nero v8 through V2015 on this system and they get along well. I admit I don't use i-Tunes. I installed it to have its codecs. Damn thing is constantly updating.
Nero MediaHome keeps a database of things it has found on a system. Even if the files are moved or deleted, it usually continues to display them. There's a way to get rid of that but I don't think you would want to do that right now.
In your opening remark, you said you lost everything. Did something happen to your system or are you referring to your remarks about Nero MediaHome?
Where are your i-Tunes files normally stored?
I don't know if it will accept your Nero MediaHome serial number but you can go to nero.com, support, contact, technical support and attempt to fill out the form.
You know? I am sure my iTunes problem was not caused by Nero. It was my fault for following instructions from someone on a community help forum, that maybe didn't even address the problem I was having, and who instructed to delete my "caches" under my iTunes file. And TBH, I am embarrassed to say, I don't even really know what a "cache" is. (color me stoopid!)
I am still not sure if I need the 2016 Platinum or if the Classic will take care of most all of what my limited experience can do anyway. But, if you would please direct me to the best place to buy the full software, (not the updates) then I am ready to go. I have wanted to purchase Nero again for some time, and even I am tired of my excuses.
I pay people to figure out how to fix my PC problems, and it's time I took the iTunes problem to them. So, a little guidance would be helpful. Like how best to purchase the backup and tune up packages. But, I'm done bugging you guys with trivial problems. Be forewarned though. Once I purchase and install the packages, you will certainly get tired of my questions again! :-)
Thank you for all your patience. Now, let's get the party started! (Sorry....I couldn't help myself) :-)
Barb M.
OH! I don't know if this was a good place to put this P.S. But I have one last question. I was just going over the "Products" at Nero.com, and one thing I noticed is that on the video I watched, it always refers to burning whatever to cd/dvd/blueray. Can I also load my photos to a thumb drive? It never mentions that. Last question. I promise!
Hi Barb-
It's a little complicated but, if you want to work with 4k or want to have more transitions, effects, menu templates, etc., than Classic, then Platinum would be the way to go. I usually recommend that.
In regards to loading your files to a thumb drive, I assume you mean "burning a video or slide show project" from Nero Video to a thumb drive. The only option is for a AVCHD-DVD, which needs to be played in a blu-ray player, if you want to play it outside of Nero. Nero MediaHome will play the AVCHD folder, not a disc. Note that v2016 doesn't have the ability to play physical Blu-ray discs. If I'm confusing you, let me know.
Wither 1,
See topic How to get around size limits making a DVD in Nero Video? playing DVD structures recorded to a thumbdrive! Why not try it?
I'm going by the choices provided by Nero Video when you select a disc project in the opening screen. My girl is in the hospital again and I don't have time to try a bunch of things. I didn't read through that whole thread. Were you able to burn a DVD-Video to a thumb drive via the burn screen in Nero Video?

I guess you answered your question, paper doll equates to pepakura/papercraft. I personally want a Normad plushie, so that I have something to unleash my rage on whenever I feel like it. For those who don't know Normad, look up the anime Galaxy Angel.royalpain88 wrote:Wow, you have Yoshika Miyafuji, sweet. Isn't that paper doll ... thingymagij a pepakura?

01 Jun Dark cave exploration – Kayak tour on Chay river
It's an interesting tour to explore Dark cave in Phong Nha. Not just only sightseeing the Dark Cave, you can also enjoy exciting games of doing Zipline over river, bathing in the mud, doing kayak and swimming inside the Dark cave and on the river
Hang Toi, the Dark Cave, so called, not because of the lack of light, but because of the dark stone within.
The 10km-long Chay River is an estuary of Son River with a gentle stream flow, pure water and many species of endemic fishes like Cyprinus centralus, Cyprinus sp, Chela quangbinhensis and Hemibagrus vietnamensis. Chay River hides itself in Phong Nha forests with the Vom Cave system like Thien Duong Cave (Paradise Cave), Me Bong Con Cave and Toi Cave (Dark Cave), etc. Hang Toi (Dark Cave) was discovered in the years of anti-America resistance war by local people and used as a bomb shelter. This cave is a branch of Phong Nha cave system with 5,558m long and 80m high; the entry of cave is 30m high and 10m wide with heavy forest around the cave mouth. Hang Toi has a primitive beauty with thousands of several spectacular stalagmite and stalactites. This is a shelter of many species of animals like bat and swift, especially, Ha Tinh langur – one of primate species listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book. Especially, Mr. L.Deharveng, a Russian scientist, on January 9th 1995, collected, discovered and proclaimed a specimen of a species of new crab (called Nemoron nomas) in Dark Cave. This specimen is now being kept in the Museum of Zoology, the National University of Singapore.

I LOVE Having Sister Dickson Here!
April 11, 2012 email
[She just read my email where I told her that there is a gift certificate waiting for her at Mr. Cheney Cookies.
She needs to go pick it up today and SPEND IT!]
WOWZY! Mumzy, you rocketh. Tight like unto a dish! Can you please send my gray Sister Missionary skirt with Agenor? The one I have right now is borderline short, and I'm trying my hardest to be obedient.
Go to missionties.com to place an order for any missionary in Brazil, and they will ship the order within Brazil. While in the CTM, the missionaries go directly across the street to pick it up in person.
Izabel, the sweet manager at Mr. Cheney Cookies,
took these pictures from today and emailed them.
Stress here is totally different than the Provo MTC—less intense. But even when you want to get mad, you don't. It's so hard to explain. I have realized that my stress indicators are all out of whack here.
There have been some wonderful experiences. I shared a personal experience in Portuguese in our last lesson. It was ridiculously hard because I can't conjugate in the present tense, let alone the past tense or imperfect, etc. I didn't feel like I helped the investigator much with the experience; but afterward, my teacher thanked me for sharing it. She explained that it helped her in her real life and was an answer to her prayers.
The food here is getting better and better!!!!!! Yummmmmzy! Last week, we had some kind of ice cream… hehehe… interesting is what it was. Tasted like eggnog and banana. We had PANCAKES and awesome stuff for General Conference and Easter. The cooks try to appease the Americans; but when they are serving up our food, they look like the crankiest people in the world. Even when they are cranks, I can't say no to them. Sad face. I's gonna get so fat. The "manna" oatmeal is deeeeelish. It's some kind of rice bits with really sweet creamy stuff. LOVE it! But the most common breakfast here is a slice of cheese and ham on a roll that is cooked Panini-style. It's good, but I usually wolf down the oatmeal or occasional frosted flakes. I'm gonna MISS the "sheltered" food here in the CTM.
I LOVE THE TEMPLE!!!! It was so difficult to seeee when we were taking pics, though. I can't remember if I talked about it or not. If not, I'm going to write it in my journal that I'm almost done with. Do you think Agenor would take it home for me? I have two more journals left for the rest of my mission. Hahaha, do you think I can do it? The temple trip today was AWESOME. We met "real" missionary sisters on the temple grounds. One was an American from Utah and had been out a year. Her Portuguese was great, and she was talking really fast. It was SOOO fun to talk with them.
More and more, I am a believer of the hand of God in the minutest details of our lives. I don't know how He does it, but He does. He loves us. His work and glory is to bring to pass our immortality and eternal life. I didn't think it was possible that He could give us so many miracles and set up so many tender mercies in one day. Yet, as I have always believed, there is no such thing as a coincidence; and now I can testify of it because my eyes have been opened to the daily blessings in my life. If I were left to my own strength, I would be a poor miserable fellow indeed. Having a belief that happy days aren't of my own doing or in my own power, but bad days are when I'm left in my own strength, I KNOW just how much God loves me. I have all things as a witness unto me that God lives, and He loves all His children. Do you know what? Even if you think I'm silly for believing in a god, as a coping mechanism, and you go on calling me names and thinking I'm stupid, I don't care. I will always be more filled with joy because of what I believe, and THAT'S what this world needs. What are you doing to contribute? Nevertheless, I have unshaken faith that there is a God. He lives, and He loves me. He even loves those who hate Him and curse His name daily. We are His children and are thus bound to Him with that intangible, immeasurable, inexplicable love that only comes from being part of a family. God is real, and I will not deny it. I know because He can speak to me in a way that every particle of my being is enlightened with love, knowledge, and direction. He knows ME. In fact, He knows me better than I know myself! This I can testify with boldness because even as I write these words laboriously with this finicky keyboard, I feel the third member of the Godhead—the Holy Ghost—testify to me that what I am writing is true.
I love being on a mission because now I get to put to words the things I have always known to be true. I shout them from the rooftops, I profess them in my prayers, I engraven them in my countenance, and I grow them in my heart. I invite all within the sound of my words to come unto Christ and be perfected in Him and deny yourselves of all ungodliness. And if ye deny yourselves of all ungodliness and love God with all your might, mind, and strength, then is His grace sufficient for you that by His grace, ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God. Don't deny Him. For your sakes, don't ever deny Him your love and faith. Fight a good fight. Finish your course. Keep the faith.
I LOVE having Sister Dickson here! She is my sanity; and her friend from Gig Harbor is my bff outside my district. It's nice to have had an elder outside my district who appreciates me and understands my humor. Sister Dickson is a solo sister, and the poor girl is the best thing since peanut butter for those boys in her district. She's the greatest mom ever. Pray for her. I, on the other hand, am very glad that I'm in a trio. If there were only 2 sisters in this district, we would be eaten alive. I do love our district elders. They are the most hilarious BUT spiritual-when-they-want-to-be elders. PLEASE! For the sake of the future sister missionaries, teenage boys, stand up and be men, according to Elder Jeffrey R. Holland hahaha. OR, according to President Uchtdorf, STOP IT. :) I love you all.
Sorry things are so choppy today. I'm trying to get everything in, and my spelling and grammar are atrocious. Deal with it. It means I'm doing well in Portuguese. I LOVE THE FRANTIC TYPING sound all around me. We just love our families so much. RACHEL, thank you for your letter!!!! I lost it before I could read it, but I'll find it today after I make my bed. I think it's around there somewhere hahaha. I had NO time last night to read it because I was staying with Sister Dickson. She is a solo sister and doesn't have any roommates right now. She is getting 3 Brazilian roommates tonight!!! Super jealous. She's picking up the language really fast because she had a good background with Spanish. I'm very timid when speaking in Portuguese; and when I talk about spiritual things, I talk really quiet, which doesn't help the matter. I had an English fast this past week all by myself, and IT WAS TOUGH!!!! Also, yesterday, we had an English fast as a district. I'm sorry to say… but I loved it because the elders, FOR ONCE, weren't horsing around and talking about things that were distracting. They did kinda die at the end. However, I've made a goal with myself to have an English fast every other day. We'll see how that helps. I'm not picking up the language, but I can't wait to get in the field and drown in the sound of Portuguese. Don't worry. I bought some flippers, some swimming floaties, and water wings. I'm ready. :) Aaaand, I've been praying for my poor trainer. The first sister to have completed the 6-week pilot program left last Monday. We'll see how we guinea pigs go. FYI, I'm the only sister here who is going to Rio de Janeiro!! There are 7 Brazilian elders who are going and I think report the same day.
I have been playing the flute for Sunday firesides and devotionals. The sister in charge here is hilarious. She makes sure there is a prelude, postlude, and interlude number, AND everyone has to go to the choir. We sing in English, Spanish, and Portuguese; so it sounds like garbledygish. It's fun. ELDER QUENTIN COOK IS COMING THE TUESDAY BEFORE WE LEAVE, and I get to play flute for him. :) I'm getting my flute legs back and have been grateful for the redemption from the last time I played in church hahaha. The flute here is open-holed, but all the buttons stick because of the nasty humidity here. I think I can survive Rio when it comes to heat. I can do hard things!
Also, Elder Cook will visit my mission when I report!!! I LOVE RIO!!!!!
