You have no items in your shopping cart.
You have no items in your shopping cart.
While our culture pushes independence and self-sufficiency, the life that Jesus sets for us is one of sacrifice and surrender. Being a follower of Jesus means that we choose to abide and remain in Jesus. As a branch connected to a vine, we do not exist by ourselves or for ourselves.
This four week series goes deep into John 15:1-11 as students are challenged to abide in Jesus.
Each week is packed with resources to make you successful as you lead your students to get connected, trust God, prevent soul rot, and bear fruit in their relationship with Jesus.
Series Topics
Week 1 – "Connecting to the Vine" - Using a very detailed visual example, Jesus explains that God is the Vinedresser, Jesus is the Vine, and we are the branches.
Week 2 – "Trusting the Vinedresser" - Abiding in Jesus means that we are subject to the care and control of the Vinedresser. Trusting the Vinedresser means that we receive the goodness and nourishment of our connection with Jesus, and it means we allow God to guide our growth.
Week 3 – "Preventing Soul Rot" - Abiding in Jesus requires being deeply connected to the vine. By our own selfishness or even though circumstances, rot can creep in on us.
Week 4 – "Bearing Fruit" - When we abide in Jesus, the True Vine, and allow God to guide our growth, we produce an abundance of fruit that demonstrates our connectedness to Jesus.
This Resource Includes:
• Four week detailed manuscripts (Avg of 2,300+ words each week) (Word)
• Four week Small Group Discussion Guide (Word)
• Series Trajectory with Weekly Summaries (Word)
• Weekly Social Graphics (Jpg) with Texts and Instructions (Word)
• Title, Content, Facebook, Instagram graphics (Jpg)

XKWX: Jim Bromley's Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi Series
XKWX: Horror Web Series Details
Director: Jim Bromley
Writer: Jim Bromley
Release Date: 2016
Release Format: Streaming
MPAA Rating: Not Rated
Horror Sub-Genre: Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi
"XKWX" is a mini Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi series. Currently consisting of three short episodes; "Al La Carte", "A Strange Snag In Spacetime", and "Wet Cell". People, who have problems to get off their chest and need to vent discreetly, can do so with the host of the XKWX radio station.
"Al La Carte"
In "Al La Carte", Bajnok Bortnik (Vince Tula) stumbles upon a hotel, where, coincidentally, a patient by the same name is also registered. He finds out the hard way when he takes the room his name is booked under without hesitation. When the real "Bajnok Bortnik" that was assigned to the room shows up, wearing an odd mask, Tula is put in a brief hostage situation that could mean life or death.
"A Strange Snag In Spacetime"
In "A Strange Snag In Spacetime", Peter Kirkmann (Rory Dunn), owns a specialty Mom and Pop shop, buying and selling antique merchandise. A man wanders into the shop and wants to sell him a book called "A Strange Snag In Spacetime" along with some other items. The buying price that the customer was hoping for was not offered, so he angrily storms out of the shop, leaving all of the merchandise for Peter to keep. Peter starts browsing through the book, and he oddly notices a chapter dedicated to "Peter Kirkmann". Intrigued, he reads the chapter and finds himself in a mental whirlwind.
"Wet Cell"
In "Wet Cell", Sylvia Weathers (Caitlin Norton), hastily signs up for a questionable service from a mysterious agent. The Central Fusion system, a new system that's never been heard of before, is claimed to give her company the superior electric generating service that it needs to thrive. Before she's had time to research the company, the agent rushes her to seal the deal. This could prove a very dastardly move as Sylvia will soon find out.
Although it takes a minimalistic approach, "XKWX" is a breath of fresh air; a different approach to horror cinema that is strange in the same way that it is revitalizing. The stories (or episodes) are all of original, creative ideas. There is a lot of Sci-Fi and Mystery elements, especially in "A Strange Snag In Spacetime" and "Wet Cell". The premise to all of these stories and struggles, come back to XKWX, a private, discreet radio station, where patrons can vent about whatever is bothering them and get their frustrations and struggles off their chests.
"Al La Carte" is more of a Crime-Mystery. You have this mysterious man in a mask, who seemingly looks, talks, and acts like a dangerous, but important man. He is hiding something, however, you don't know what, and this discreteness is not revealed. It's left up to pondering, which is kind of disappointing in a sense, but also, gives you a feeling of anxiety.
"A Strange Snag In Spacetime" is, mysteriously, about spacetime. A man gets an odd book in his hands, reads it, and finds himself between the bounds of reality and delusion.
"Wet Cell" is a Mystery with Sci-Fi undertones. A woman finds a glitch in the new generator system that she purchased for her company, and that glitch turns out to be something, fittingly, not of this world.
The episodes in the "XKWX" series, although very good, were also too short. While watching them I felt like they were somewhat rushed, as if director Jim Bromley ran out of time and had to throw in an abrupt ending that would be comfortably suiting, as if not to seem out of place.
I would have definitely loved to see more in "Al La Carte". I feel as if the masked guy had a few skeletons in the closet that were necessary to the story. But since there was not much to go on, I was left with unanswered questions.
In "Wet Cell", I would have loved to see the "finished product" of the destruction the Central Fusion system was creating. I assumed it was turning humans into weird alien creatures, but couldn't be certain, since it didn't show as much.
To view Jim Bromley's XKWX visit:
[box type="shadow" align="" class="" width=""]Rating Score: 0-10 Avoid | 11-20 Mediocre | 21-30 Good | 31-40 Average | 41-50 Satisfactory | 51-60 Stunning | 61-70 Terrific | 71-80 Must See | 81-90 Amazing | 91-100 Impressive[/box]

Hot My Sassy crown Princess Chapter 294
After the crisis of beast tide was resolved, Mo Fei stayed in the laboratory every day to study potions. Hill-like star herbs turned into potions, while Mo Feis abilities on potions also improved a lot.
Mo Fei stopped and looked at the list in his hand. "It looks like it's almost over!"
Mo Yi nodded and said, "Yes, young master, it seems you have finished three quarters."
Mo Fei flexed his limbs and said, "When this list of potions is finished, and One-eye dare to send me one more, I will swing my fist into his face and blind his other eye!"
Mo Yi hurriedly sucked up, "Young master, you are absolutely right to do so."
Comfortably lying in the rocking chair, Mo Fei tapped on the arm, "People all say, those big bosses like to slave women as men and men as animals. This one-eyed lieutenant general looks kind and honest, but why does he act totally like those profiteers? Yiyi, look at my fingers, all swollen!"
A few of the soldiers in the laboratory acting as his assistants, watching Mo Feis expression, said nothing, and unconsciously eased their hands.
Mo Yi shrugged his shoulders, "Nowadays there are too many beasts in human face. Really hard to prevent!"
Now the one-eyed general was standing by the door, looking at Mo Fei awkwardly, "My crown princess, you are taking some rest!"
Lying in his rocking chair, Mo Fei looked at him, rolled his eyes and said, "Yes! Whats up? Lieutenant general, do you know why I finally chose Prince Yu after I got rejected by seventeen men?"
One-eyed lieutenant general shook his head, "No, I don't know!"
He looked at Mo Fei, confused. Why does Mo Fei suddenly bring that up?
Mo Fei played with his fingers, sighing, "The Starnet said, it is good to be the crown princess! As the crown princess, I do not have to worry about food or clothes. I only need to sleep after eating and eat after sleeping. No one is more idle that a crown princess. So I thought it is great! Someone as lazy as I am is the most suitable to be the crown princess!"
One-eye wiped the cold sweat over his forehead, "My crown princess, of course you are the most suitable one!"
"Is that so? But I don't think I'm suitable for it anymore. I thought being the crown princess is very idle, but I do not know why, with things piled up, like I can never finish them. And now after I got married I only know being the crown princess will wear my ass off." said Mo Fei, gritting his teeth.
One-eye said awkwardly, "My crown princess, you take your time, and you will get it all covered."
Mo Fei chuckled and said, "Thank you. I also hope I can get it covered as soon as possible. Lieutenant general, when do you think I can get it covered?"
One-eye looked at Mo Fei, like sitting on pins and needles, "My crown princess, you take some rest, Ill go first."
"Watch your steps!" Mo Fei waved his hand.
Before One-eye went far away, he was stopped by Scar, "So, did you send the list to the crown princess?" asked Scar cheerfully.
One-eye frowned, "No!"
"No? How is that possible?" Scar was a little anxious.
One-eye then threw the list onto him, "Send it yourself, I…I dare not."
"You dare not? Why? Are you afraid he is going to swallow you?" said Scar smilingly.
One-eye nodded, "Yeah, Im a coward, you are the bravest, you go."
Scar looked at the back of the One-eyed, in the heart secretly muttering: in fact, I am also afraid!
Looking at One-eye fleeing, Mo Fei said with a casual tone, "Yiyi, are there any star beasts come to make trouble recently?"
Mo Yi nodded, "No!"
Mo Fei narrowed his eyes and said, "Its been so peaceful these days. I always feel like it is the calm before the storm."
Mo Yi tilted the head, looking at Mo Fei, said: "Young master, you are overthinking things."
Mo Fei shrugged his shoulders, "I hope so."
After a few quiet days, Lou Yu and others suddenly received a message from the capital.
On receiving the message, Lou Yu immediately pulled his face.
Zheng Xuan frowned, "What is wrong with Prince Feng? At this time to send troops for reinforcements? Why did he take no action while the star beast tide was so fierce? Now those star beasts are busy carrying on the family line in the woods and we are goddamn idle here, and he sent reinforcements? Isnt it belated action?"
Lou Yu pondered, "Judging from the message, not many people would come this time."
"That is right. If he sends too many people, what to eat? The food in the front line is so tight. And if we want to eat meat, we still have to hunt for ourselves." said Zheng Xuan crossly.
Lou Yu frowned and said, "From what I know about Lou Feng, he would never do anything for no reason. There must be something fishy with these people."
Zheng Xuan disregarded, "Whats fishy? They are all weak."
Louu Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Zheng Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then counter measure for measure!"
Lou Yu nodded, saying, "All right, anyway with the strength of Lou Feng now, he also can not turn over any wave." They got three level seven star magicians. Even if they got level eight ones, they still stand a chance.

For being in the high desert, it sure has rained a lot lately. It's been raining since Friday, and it's not looking like it's going to stop any time soon. I keep expecting to see a bearded guy leading animals two by two. I mean, criminitly.
The running joke at the Sanderson household is: "We need the moisture." It's just something everyone around here seems to say any time we get rain or snow or hail. I guess it's the local way of looking on the bright side of bad weather. Me? I'm just tired of the constant dripping. I need to see the sun.
Personally, I liked the arrangement in Tallahassee. Most days we had sunny mornings and rainy afternoons. It's a nice split. (Of course those few afternoons when it didn't rain, we wished it would since no rain = high humidity.)
How about you? Do you need the moisture? Want some of ours?

Africans in scoring form in Sweden
The 6th round of Sweden's top football competition last week saw African players still in scoring form.
Ghana's Nasiru Mohammed and Sierra Leonean striker Alhassan Kamara scored one goal each as BK Hacken whipped city rivals IFK Goteburg 4-0 to climb up the Allsvenskan table.
Zimbabwean Philana Tino Kadawere brought mid-table Djurgarden to a 3-3 scoreline against Norrkoping, scoring in stoppage time, just two minutes after his side fell behind.
Nigerian striker Kennedy Igboananike struck the opener in the early stages of the second half but he and his Orebro teammates could not hold out and ended up 2-1 losers to defending champions Malmo 2-1 while Gambian forward Pa Amat Dibba scored one in Hammarby's 4-0 thrashing of Athletic Ekilstuna.
Also, in the 3rd round of the top flight of the female championship, Nigeria's Rita Chikwelu was on target as Kristianstads beat Limhamn Bunkeflo 3-0.
In the male first division, just one tier below the allsvenskan, Ugandan winger Martin Mutumba hit the back of the net for Orgryte in a 1-1 draw against Oster in a 5th round encounter while Ghanaian Thomas Boakye grabbed a 55th minute equalizer for Varberg in a 1-all scoreline against Syrianska. Ugandan Heradi Rashidi scored once as Dalkurd convincingly trounced Gefle 3-0.

Tips for Parents
Why Media Role Models Matter:
There's no guarantee that a star will stick to a lifestyle that kids can look up to -- or that you'll approve of. In today's 24/7 media environment, in which kids may be spending more time with media than they are with their parents, choosing positive role models is more important than ever. At Common Sense, we often refer to media as "the other parent" -- that's how much influence it has in your kids' lives. Role models matter. Help your kids find good ones.

Heroin Detox
Heroin is an illegal, highly addictive drug. It enters the brain quickly and is fast-acting. It binds to the opioid receptors responsible for feeling pain, pleasure, heart and respiratory rates, and has a euphoric effect on the user.
Get Help Today
While detox services are not offered at our JourneyPure Melbourne campus, JourneyPure has several other facilities that provide detox. We will make sure you receive the highest care of medical detoxification.
Heroin is made from the opium harvested from the poppy plant. It is classified as an opiate and has a similar effect on the human brain as its prescription counterparts, morphine, and codeine. It is also cheaper and more readily available that then synthetic prescription versions like, Oxycontin and Vicodin. Nearly 80 percent of people who use heroin began their use with prescription opioids. Because heroin is an illegal drug, it is not monitored or controlled, and as a result, can contain additives and contaminants that can be toxic. Heroin can be injected, snorted, or smoked. People overdose on the drug when their breathing slows so much they become hypoxic, meaning they do not get enough oxygen to their brain, causing both long and short-term damage as well as death.
Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction occurs when an individual is using enough of the drug and often enough, to develop a dependency on it. The brain ceases to make dopamine on its own and relies on the drug solely for providing any kind of pleasure or happiness. At our heroin detox center in Melbourne, Florida, we know the more they use heroin, the higher their tolerance develops, and they need more of the drug to feel the same effects. Once an individual has reached this level of use, they will experience withdrawals if they stop. Heroin withdrawal is a traumatic experience with both physical and emotional consequences, and most addicts will avoid feeling them at all costs. This perpetuates the cycle of addiction, giving the addict little hope of ever quitting.
Heroin Withdrawal
Heroin withdrawal will begin just a few hours after the last use. Withdrawal symptoms will vary given the following contributing factors; How often the drug was being used, how much of it was being taken, how it was being taken (smoked, IV, etc.), and for what duration (weeks, months, years).
Physical Symptoms
- Diarrhea and vomiting
- Muscle and bone pain
- Dehydration
- Fever
- Difficulty regulating body temperature
- Restlessness
- Insomnia
- Severe cravings
Psychological Symptoms
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Agitation or aggression
- Compromised cognitive function
- Irritability, moodiness
- Panic attacks
- Mood swings
Heroin Withdrawal Timeline
At our Melbourne heroin detox center, we understand that withdrawal begins within a day of the last use, sometimes just after a few hours. The intensity of the withdrawal symptoms reaches their most intense point, 2 to 3 days after last use. Someone detoxing from a substance that they are dependant on can suffer complications, and be at risk for a medical emergency, that is why it is absolutely recommended that they come to a detox facility.
JourneyPure's Heroin Detox in Melbourne Can Be Broken Down Into Three Phases:
Phase 1 – Hours after their last use, the patient begins to feel sick, nausea, headaches, and possibly fever. They feel chilled and achy.
Phase 2 – The most intense time in detox comes during the first few days and can last over a week. The patient needs medical attention to deal with the physical discomfort and may need fluids and medication. They may also feel emotionally distressed and need support and comfort.
Phase 3 –Patients can experience lingering symptoms for weeks after the initial detox, these ongoing effects are also referred to as PAWS, (post-acute withdrawal symptoms). It is our hope that you will move from our Melbourne heroin detox and into our inpatient rehab, to continue to deal with your ongoing symptoms and recovery.
What To Expect At Our Heroin Detox in Melbourne
Detoxing from heroin is a challenging and often unsafe experience when done alone, or in a non-medical setting. At our detox facility in Melbourne, we seek to improve your comfort, physical health and emotional well being through this process. Sleep medication, antidiarrheal medications, and anti-nausea medications can all be beneficial throughout this process, easing the physical symptoms and allowing for rest. Methadone may be prescribed to lessen the severity of the withdrawal symptoms experienced. Suboxone may also be used, it is not addictive and is an effective drug for maintaining one's abstinence from heroin. The staff here at our heroin detox in Melbourne, FL will assess your individual needs and see to it that you are provided with the necessary medical support.
Therapy at our Melbourne heroin detox center is also an important part of a successful experience. An individual who is feeling strong mentally and emotionally will have an easier time coping with the physical effects of withdrawal. Individual therapy, group, and family therapy are all imperative to begin the healing process after someone has struggled with addiction. Behavioral therapy like CBT and DBT can help a patient re-adjust how they view themselves, and their relationships with others. They learn to communicate more effectively, and set boundaries. Therapy helps an individual to discover the underlying causes of their drug use, so that they may address the issues, and live a life free from addiction. They discover that there is a bigger, better life outside of heroin, and join in the fight to live without it.

Why Choose Hawkchurch Resort?
Anyone who is looking for holiday lodges for sale in Dorset may be inclined to opt for a resort which is more centralised in their chosen region. However, this would be precluding you from the many attractions which are also on offer in neighboring Devon.

Shuffling slowly along and clearly severely disabled, teenage spina bifida sufferer Alex Nicklen was easy prey to a drug-hungry city centre street robber.
The vulnerable student had worked hard for five years to secure a place studying history and politics at Newcastle University against the odds and was finally enjoying some independence.
But as he made his way slowly back to his digs on Valentine's Day, the 19-year-old was cruelly targeted by despicable Martin Tokar.
The 18-year-old stalked him through the streets before barging into terrified Alex from behind and threatening to put a gun to his head.
Unable to run away or fight back and scared for his life, Alex had no choice but to agree to the robber's demand to hand over his £600 phone.
A court heard the attack has had a devastating impact on Alex, who is now scared to go out, is on anxiety medication, has had to move back with his parents and has lost his much treasured and hard-won independence.
Now Tokar, snared after a Crimewatch appeal and who went on to target another student in a similar way just weeks later, has been locked up at Newcastle Crown Court.
Alex said in a statement read to the court: "When he approached me I knew I would not be able to get away from him and I didn't think I could defend myself.
"I'm still upset by this incident and I think about it a lot.
"I've no doubt he targeted me because of my disability and it's knocked my confidence.
"It took me a long time to build up my confidence to go to university and this could have ended my lifelong ambition to go university. I worked incredibly hard for five years to overcome a number of obstacles.
"My confidence and self esteem were high because of my newly found independence and all of this was taken away from me by one man.
"This robbery has affected me in so many ways and crushed my confidence and in the weeks afterwards I felt vulnerable and anxious in the city centre.
"I made the very hard decision to move back to my parents' house outside Newcastle. I still attend university but my mother drives me to and from university and this has left me with no real independence.
"Since the robbery I do not go out alone because on the few occasions I tried to do so, I felt very anxious and afraid and was constantly looking behind me.
"I was always aware I could be viewed as an easy target by criminals and it scares me I could be targeted again because of my disability."
The court heard Alex, who was in his first year at Newcastle University, is registered disabled and his spina bifida affects his mobility, posture, concentration and the way he walks and he becomes tired very quickly.
Prosecutor Neil Pallister said: "The Crown say it would have been obvious because of his disability he was a vulnerable person."
Alex, from Ellington, Northumberland, had been out in Newcastle celebrating Chinese New Year on Sunday February 14 and was making his way back to the university campus alone after saying goodbye to his friends when he was targeted.
The court heard he was holding his iPhone in his hand as he walked along Percy Street towards the Haymarket.
Mr Pallister said: "Mr Nicklen describes the walk back to his student flat was quite a long distance from where he started.
"Five minutes into the journey he began to feel tired.
"He began to slow down and walk at a very slow pace. He sent his mother a text saying he was tired but heading home - he was living independently in student accommodation.
"At that point he became so tired his walking was restricted and slowed to a shuffling pace. His posture also suffered, he was hunched forward with both legs bent slightly inwards.
"It would be obvious to anyone he was disabled and vulnerable."
The court heard it took Alex about 20 minutes to get back to the campus and he then realised he was being stalked.
Mr Pallister said: "He became aware of someone following him as he walked towards Claremont Road.
"A man approached him from behind and barged into him and said in a calm manner 'Give me your ******* phone or I will put a gun to your head'.
"He froze with shock and disbelief. He didn't see a gun and didn't think he had a gun but was still fearful for his safety.
"He didn't know what he was capable of so he handed over his mobile phone. The defendant then demanded his pin number for the phone and he gave him it.
"The man then walked away leaving him feeling stunned and shocked.
"For a significant period of time the attacker had followed and, for want of a better word, stalked the victim before he committed the robbery."
CCTV of the attacker was circulated and after an appeal on the Crimewatch Roadshow it emerged Tokar had sold Alex's phone on and detectives arrested him on July 20.
In the meantime he had also robbed a 25-year-old female Thai student on Barrack Road, near St James' Park, on Sunday April 3. Like with Alex, he followed her and approached her from behind, this time grabbing her bag and its contents, worth a total of £1,425, and leaving her terrified.
After initially denying responsibility for the robberies, he finally admitted what he had done was "horrible", said he deserved to go to jail and blamed his £40 a week cannabis habit.
Tokar, of Whittington Grove, Fenham, Newcastle, admitted two counts of robbery and was sent to a young offenders institute for three-and-a-half years.
Judge Tim Gittins said of the offence against Alex: "It's clear you had stalked your prey for some time.
"It's clear you targeted him as an easy target because of his disability.
"Your actions were, particularly in relation to Mr Nicklen, despicable.
"Any person, let alone a disabled person, is entitled and should expect to feel safe in this city when walking about the streets doing their day to day activities and the courts will act to ensure acts such as your robbery are punished accordingly.
"The victim was extremely vulnerable and obviously so and the psychological effects on him have been serious and significant and he is no longer as independent as he was."
Judge Gittins added: "This case is a warning lesson to those that say cannabis is not a harmful drug."
Ian West, defending, said Tokar has no previous convictions and has recently stopped smoking cannabis and no longer associates with those he was at the time.
He added: "There was no physical harm and he has demonstrated remorse and a degree of self loathing for committing the offences.
"The drug problem is at the root of his offending."
After the case, Alex said: "I feel Justice has been served. I think the judge and court sent a strong message that if you target the weakest members of society, you will face a strong punishment."
DC Shaun Fordy, of the North East Regional Special Operations Unit, added: "The robberies committed by Martin Tokar were despicable attacks on victims which he considered to be vulnerable and easy targets.
"Crimes like these are rare in the City of Newcastle and every effort was made to identify and arrest Tokar.
"I welcome the sentence passed by the court which should send a clear message to those criminals who think it is acceptable to target vulnerable members of our communities. I also wish to commend the courage of the victims and the assistance provided by the public."

Although I am a huge animal lover, I do my best to reduce my pets' waste as well. However, before I get into this I want to emphasize that you should never risk the health of your pet to reduce their waste. Your pet's well being always comes before the picture-perfect zero waste lifestyle. That being said, I wanted to provide insight into how I reduce my hamster's waste.
Bulk Mixes
Although this is uncommon, there's a chance your local pet shop offers hamster mix in bulk. At my local store, they offer rabbit, guinea pig, and rat food in bulk. If you have this, it's probably the best option for zero-waste food!
DIY Mixes
This is one of those things you need to do lots of research on. Developing your own food mix takes a lot of time and work. I am going to include my recipe, but please keep in mind that you can't just remove ingredients/replace them. It's important to ensure your hamster's diet is nutritionally balanced.
Excluding the mealworms and the hay, I can get all of these ingredients in bulk. It's possible to raise mealworms yourself so that you can avoid the waste, however, I don't have space or time to farm them right now. It's preferable to buy them in solid containers rather than plastic pouches since the bottles are recyclable while the pouches are not.
How to feed
I recommend feeding this mix alongside high-quality commercial lab blocks to ensure proper vitamins and minerals are consumed, as it's difficult to calculate the vitamins present in each meal. I use these lab blocks, and they are what I calculated the nutritional analysis with.
I also recommend supplementing with fresh fruits and vegetables, just make sure they're safe for your hamster first. I often use scraps from my cooking! For growing hamsters, add extra mealworms for more protein.
Commercial Food
For most people, commercial foods are the best option. And as I mentioned, even with a bulk mix used to reduce the waste you must feed lab blocks and (for my blend) mealworms. So at that point, it's about making sure the food bag does as much as it can in its lifetime.
I've mentioned these kinds of crafts in my zero waste cats article, but there are several things you can make out of pet food bags. I personally use my bags for trash once they're empty. Hamster food bags are pretty small, so generally, I use it for a few days of cat litter scooping rather than for putting in a trash can.
Treats and Chews
Rather than purchasing treats and chews wrapped in plastic, I prefer to make my own treats and chews.
There are numerous recipes for hamster treats, many of which involving ingredients easy to find in bulk. I've put together a playlist of some great hamster treat recipes for your reference!
There are also lots of great ways to make chews out of things like toilet paper rolls! My hamsters love them, and it's great for their teeth. Here's another playlist of ideas for you!
Often the best treats are fruit or veggie scraps from cooking. Additionally, many hamsters love nuts like unsalted peanuts. However, they are high in fat and should only be fed once or twice per week. As an additional bonus, they also work great for wearing down teeth!
As I mentioned, nuts are both a great treat and great chew that can be found in bulk. You can also offer untreated wood (which can be sometimes found unpackaged for birds or fish, if not rodents). Dog biscuits can be found in bulk at treat bars in many stores and can be offered once a month depending on the type. They can be great for hamster teeth, especially if targeted towards dogs' oral health. Finally, the medical need for chews can be reduced (not eliminated) simply by feeding a high-quality diet with lots of seeds and such that your hamster has to chew.
I personally use a mix of the following methods. I occasionally shred paper or make the DIY bedding for my hamster's nesting areas if I have paper and time, although I mostly rely on commercial bedding.
DIY Bedding
There are some methods of making paper bedding using paper. It's time-consuming and can be more expensive if you're buying paper for it, but using only recycled papers can be helpful. Be careful about what inks are used on the paper, though! Here's a link to a great method created by Luci over at Hamster Hideout.
Shredded Paper
Shredded paper is another option for recycled hamster bedding, however, it's worth noting that it's not absorbent which means it needs to be cleaned once or twice a day. Aside from cutting paper yourself, there are manual paper shredders available to reduce the use of electricity.
Wood Chips
Aside from paper bedding, wood chips are a popular bedding option. If you or someone you know does any wood carving, you could definitely use some of the shavings as bedding. Be careful that there aren't any sharp pieces and that you only use aspen.
Commercial Bedding
Although those are great options, the reality is that you likely will need store-bought bedding for your hamsters. Ideally, you'll be able to find non-plastic wrapped options. However, this is unlikely. It does appear that this bulk aspen bedding may not be in plastic, however, I haven't purchased it and it may be. I haven't been successful in finding a no-plastic bedding solution.
Therefore, the best option is to reduce our bedding needs and reuse the bags.
Try to reduce the bedding your hamster goes through to save both money and the waste. This is mostly related to your cleaning rituals.
The first step to reducing your bedding waste is spot cleaning. Hamsters, being pretty neat, usually pee in one or two corners. By cleaning that corner of soiled bedding or using a litter pan and picking poop out of the whole cage, you can make the bedding last longer between cleans as it won't smell as bad.
Next, when you do need to deep clean the cage, take out only the top third of the bedding. Replace with clean bedding, and mix it with the old bedding. Because hamsters mostly spend time on top of the bedding and you've been spot cleaning, the deeper bedding should be clean for the most part. As an added bonus, this makes the cleaning less stressful for the hamster.
Now, I only have to completely empty and scrub my cages if a hamster gets ill (I clean the cage once they're well again) or if one passes (to prepare for the next). This greatly reduces my bedding use!
Once you finally empty a bag of hamster bedding, you can reuse it in the same way as the food bags. I use these for trash, but because these bags are thinner at the top it may not work for your trash cans. You could use them for picking up trash on walks to help clean up some litter!
Used Bedding
Because the bedding types I mentioned are made of paper and wood, they are totally compostable so long as your hamster is healthy. You should not compost the bedding of a sick hamster or a hamster who has died of unknown causes to prevent transmitting any potential illnesses via the soil.
Luckily, wheels are one thing that's super easy to find unpackaged. The main point I'd like to make is that you should invest in a quality wheel. I personally buy silent spinner wheels. They are plastic, which means I can reuse them through multiple hamsters. Rather than using plastic support, they use a metal screw which makes them much more durable (except for the 10″ wheel). I currently have one comfort wheel (a much cheaper type of wheel) for my Syrian hamster. Even after just three months, there is visual wear on the wheel supports. You can tell it's wearing down at the support steadily and definitely won't last.
My first silent spinner has been functioning just fine for several years and has seen many tiny paws. Based on what I've seen so far, the cheaper wheel would never last that long. Quality wheels are pricey but in my opinion worth the investment.
Water Bottles
I personally prefer glass water bottles. I haven't had one break yet, but if something were to happen to the nozzle you could try replacing it (depending on the company). Even if you aren't able to replace the nozzle, the bottle will be recyclable, unlike the plastic variety. In general, I also believe glass bottles will last longer as hamsters can't chew on them.
Hideouts + Other Accessories
Say no to plastic hideouts! I keep three plastic hideouts for travel (as it's unsafe to use heavy hideouts in the car). However, all of my in-cage hideouts are wooden. Theoretically, they are compostable depending on the type, though if they are very solid it may take a long time. I don't compost them in my setup, but use them as grave markers which won't harm any other animals. Many tunnels made of twigs and such are easily composted!
For sand bowls and food dishes, I try to stick to good quality ceramic that will last a long time.
Hamsters are easily one of the most zero-waste friendly pets with almost everything they use being either compostable or reusable. Hopefully, as there is more demand for it, healthy bulk foods and waste-free bedding bags will become available. In the meantime, we can do our best to provide our hamsters a fulfilling, healthy, low-waste life.

Update: I didn't wash my face this morning and definitely noticed an improvement in dryness. However, I did crave the act of cleansing this morning and feel a little 'dirty'. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but thought I'd mention it.
The mornings are often fun-filled as you get your ass moving & ready for the day. We all are brushing our teeth (I hope!), showering, getting dressed, etc… We've all got a process. And one of those processes may include washing your face… but is that because we've all been told to do that since we could wash our faces in the mornings? Is it necessary? I've always thought, what could I have possibly done while I slept that would mess up my previously treated face (the killer nighttime regime I follow)!! Right?
This damn household is up at 3:45am – poobear goes to the gym AND rides his mountain bike all before work….. I'm lucky to get out of bed on time LOL! I wake up around 4:30 or so to start work at 6! For the most parts my mornings aren't too insane…Wake up, brush teeth, handle my face, deal with my hair, let our cat Yaya drink from the sink, feed yaya her can of food and fresh hard food, suck down a cup of coffee before work & get my fanny to work. I'm sure many of you have much busier routines & you could afford to cut out a step or two… or seven. (I secretly wish I was like Kate Hudson and meditated in the mornings and just enjoyed the shit out of the quietness… Why can't I be a calmer person!?!!??! Gahhhh!!!!!)
While all the goodies on my morning to-do list are necessary, I go back and forth when it comes to washing my face most mornings. I find that when I wake up, my skin looks so hydrated and dewy and I know damn well that the minute I wash my face, dryness will appear. And heck, even if you don't have dry skin, you could be washing your face too much!
Let's figure out if you really need to be washing your face each and every morning. I recently read an article where many dermatologists themselves don't actually wash their face in the mornings. So shall we join suit? Hell, it's one less thing to do! That's a plus!
If you have super oily or acne prone skin, you may benefit from an intense cleanse every morning. Please be sure to do what's best for your skin.
Reason #1 Excess Oil, Sebum
Our bod naturally makes sebum, it's just naturally created oils that locks the moisture into our skin & keeps it hydrated. If your skin isn't hydrated enough, more sebum will be produced to keep the remaining moisture on your skin. So let's say you've got dry skin… your body doesn't make enough sebum, so every time you wash your face, you get rid of the little sebum you have left…. On the other hand, if your skin is oily, washing your face too much can actually cause an increase in oil production.
So it's like you can't win! Instead of washing your face, consider doing this:
Option 1: Get your day started with an amazing toner instead!
Toners have a host of great benefits –
- Shrink pores
- Gives your skin a natural pH balance
- Adds protection
- Moisturizes
- Exfoliates
- Refreshes skin
- Suppresses oiliness
- Prevents ingrown hairs
- Softens skin
Option 2: Use a facial spray instead
Reason #2: Too Exfoliating
We often recommend folks doing their exfoliating/cleansing in the nighttime hours. You really don't want to be exfoliating in the morning because those dead skin cells actually can help protect your skin from the environment that you're about to head out into.
Consider using your cleansing device or washcloth just at night.
Option 1: If you would prefer to wash your face in the morning, just use your hands and cleanser & call it a day.
Option 2: Do a quick splash of cool water onto your skin and gently pat. Try not to use your cleanser if possible and see how your skin reacts.
Reason #3 Disrupts Skin Barrier
Cleansing tends to disrupt our skin barrier. This can often lead to more water loss & it also can mess up your skin's pH levels.
If you notice that your skin is either super oily or super dry, your skincare products could be disrupting your natural pH levels, so we would suggest testing the 'no washing your face in the morning routine' out for a couple weeks and seeing how your skin reacts. You may be surprised that your skin isn't as oily or as dry as it once was.
Reason #4 Tap Water Can Be a Real B*tch
Tap water contains very drying minerals like calcium, magnesium & even chlorine… so if you're washing your face with tap water every morning, chances are your getting rid of your skin's natural moisture & oil levels.
Option 1: This is another great opportunity to use a facial spray and call it a day. Spray your face gently, dab off excessive moisture off your face and off you go. Folks reported that they've seen their best skin yet when doing this instead of washing their face.
Reason #5 Washing Off Night Time Products
My night time products are definitely my best and most expensive products. It kind of seems like a no-brainer to want to keep those products on your face as long as you can.
Cleansers are made to help remove oil & dirt and of course whatever is on that beautiful face of yours. If you have been sleeping with all your amazing anti-aging skincare products on at night, then using a cleanser that morning will try to remove the good oil and moisture you just spent the night infusing into your skin. To make sure it really sinks into your skin, we suggest skipping the routine face wash in the morning.
Still not sure!!!?… Try using your regular cleanser at night & find a really gentle cleanser you can use in the morning instead. It's all about balancing your skin. Too much of anything is a bad thing… so just experiment and see what's right for your skin.
This piece is a direct reflection of Cheeky's opinion… We found very differing views on this whole face washing bit & that included a number of world renown dermatologists.. so you do you!

I got the new guy in a straight-armed wrist lock, jumped up, clamped my legs around his neck, fell to the floor in an arm bar before he even knew what happened.
That didn't happen at all because I would have hurt my back and probably kicked him in the head instead. Never the less, after choking one another for 20 minutes it had felt like I'd done the flying arm bar.
Teacher was going over all the basics to prep Robot, and the Wonder Twins for the test in the 2nd hour, but got a bit burned out and decided to teacher a blood choke for the last half of the 1st hour. When done correctly it goes smoothly and the main vein on one side of your neck gets pinched you go nighty-night.
What I learned – Some people have a big vein on the neck and it's easy to choke them (me). Some people must have their vein buried deep in the or their body takes up the slack by pumping hard on the other side (new girl). So when you can't knock them out you crush them and that doesn't work at all. So the lesson is you better have something else up your sleeve.
Needless to say learning this technique means that everybody has a sore neck and has been choked out a multitude of times. It left me wondering how much brain damage we were causing.
Teacher keeps harping on the judicious use of muscle to stabilize positions. For instance – in preparation for a side kick our chamber is standing on foot, that knee bent, the kicking leg thigh is almost parallel to the ground. What he sees is that many of use are not using a bit of muscle to help us stabilize here. Once he tells folks their balance in this position improves dramatically.
This got me thinking about how much other pieces of the pie are tied together with a bit of dynamic tension. Normally, the demonstration about being relaxed and kicking (for instance) is contrasted by having the student squeezing the muscles through the kick to demonstrate how it impedes the process. While a fully relaxed exertion moves very quick. It's only at the end point in which tighten to give the big boom.
I don't know how to adequately describe this phenomenon, but I know it's fundamental to a good kick, but hard to teach.

It is rare to stumble across a cultural touchstone as it is being carved from marble. It is rare to find something so potentially important you know in your gut that it will inform cultural conversations from here on out. However, that's exactly what you get when you encounter the story of the Sangerye family and their fight against supernatural forces seeking our destruction. That's what you get when you pick up Bitter Root #1.
Family Matters
The comic, written by David F. Walker and Chuck Brown, drawn by Sanford Greene, colored by Greene and Rico Renzi, and lettered by Clayton Cowles, opens in the full bloom of the Harlem Renaissance: 1924. And the charm, wit, soul, and vibrancy you expect from that period is captured fully, starting on the first page.
The Sangerye family has taken the task of dealing with two Jinoo, humans corrupted by a mysterious force and turned into beastly monstrosities. The women of the family, Mama Etta
By the issue's end, the reader becomes aware of a foreboding threat on the horizon of the Sangerye's world. The daily hurdles the family faces both as monster hunters and blacks in the 20s are even more intriguing to witness.
Walker and Brown present a lot of mysteries in Bitter Root #1. Nevertheless, they expertly give the reader just enough information to get invested and come back for more. I must note that the story pacing is a tad slow. Although that detail is forgivable when considering the creators of the comic are crafting a fresh
A Rich Shade of New
To bring this fresh landscape alive, Sanford Greene and Rico Renzi bring their A-game and then some. Greene and Renzi infuse the majority of Bitter Root #1 with a striking palette of magenta and violet hues. This creates strong artistic cohesion as well as simply produces a gorgeous and jazzy book. Not to mention, their choice of palette directly references the deep pink and lavender colors of real bitterroot.
Besides this incredible care given to color, Greene wonderfully crafts unique and interesting designs for every character displayed. In addition, he makes sure to render a believable 20s era Harlem in order to complete the reader's immersion. In short, Greene distinctly captures the look and feel of the period and mixes it with supernatural steampunks in his own gritty, kinetic style to produce a visual spectacle.
Bitter Root #1: Real Talk
This is one of those comics that you know is going to be big. When reading Bitter Root #1, you can't help but consider the presence of racism at the time of the setting. That is exactly what the creators want. There is an afterword at the end of the comic by Professor John Jennings, an Eisner-award-winning artist, and scholar. His statement reads almost like a dissertation, but that is because he taps into the true importance of Bitter Root.
To agree and echo what Jennings said, Bitter Root uses the genre of horror and Gothic literature to tackle a monster we rarely desire to talk about but desperately need to: racism.
Bitter Root taps into the spirit of books like Kindred by Octavia E. Butler and movies like Get Out and Sorry to Bother You. What solidifies Bitter Root's importance is that it brings this creative take on this crucial conversation to the medium of comics. To be fair, other comics have focused on racism before, but Bitter Root comes at it with such ferocious freshness that we are compelled to stop and look anew.
From fantastically fun characters like Berg the brainy brawn (who is the most well-spoken fictional character I have seen in years

So here's a sneak peak!
I'm not sure, seemed to be running fine (fine = at least 35-40fps) for me (occasional hiccups but that's due to my card, happens in every game). I could check the next time I run Minecraft, just gotta figure that out first.
this is the new lands or two crows ?
New Lands.
some of these games I would like to know the names of but then…maybe that could make it a fun game to figure that part out
rocket league
no time, too much work, too many other games, don't be sad, rocket league, i still love u
This one looks beautiful, is it a metroidvania-type game?
immature comment incoming
hah, the revealed area on the map looks like a blue peanus

Plastics are Forever: Film, Screening & Discussion
November 14, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pmFree
"Plastics Are Forever" tells the story of conservation efforts by Kenyans to clean up their Indian Ocean coastline and recycle the plastic debris that clutters their white sand beaches. Flip flops, plastic bottles, and fishing nets entangle and kill marine animals, birds, and fish, but local clean-up crews are collecting the plastic and sorting it for re-use as sidewalks, street signs, and even beams for an experimental sailboat.
Executive Producer Andrew Tkach will lead a discussion about how environmental issues affect local communities after the 30-minute film screening. He is the Director of the Environmental Reporting Program at the Aga Khan University's Graduate School of Media and Communications in Nairobi. He has over 25 years of experience producing documentaries and TV magazine reports and has won eight News and Documentary Emmys for his work.
This event is organized by the Kansas African Studies Center and the Center for Global & International Studies. Co-sponsored by The Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, KU Environmental Studies Program, and the Department of Film & Media Studies.

NORDOST Valhalla V2
The sound of the Valhalla V2 is built top-down. The cable has sparkling and superclean highs, understated mids and lean bass. Such tonality projects into the music in many different ways, depending on what is playing. However, the general impression is that of stunning openness, exceptional illumination capabilities, great dynamics and rhythmic drive.
Funkce a forma
The new Valhalla V2 is a sleek piece of design, built around Nordost's proprietary dual monofilament technology and using copper wires with 85 microns of polished silver plating. Dual Mono-Filament technology uses two FEP/Teflon spirals, which are wound around each other and then around the conductor before it is sealed in Teflon dielectric. This introduces an air gap and provides less interaction between the insulation material and the conductor. There are also two layers of silver shielding for the cable. Nordost replaced (finally) WBT Nextgen connectors with their low mass Holo:Plugs to prevent storing mechanical energy that could find a way back to the system.
Nízké frekvence
Although relatively thin and flexible the V2 is not too easy to use in its XLR version. The cable allows zero axial torsion and if the length of it is short you'll have to be lucky to have the connector pins in a good position to connect them without twisting them too much. Otherwise you may end up buying an extra length which comes at remarkable expense. With RCAs the problem is non-existent.
Čistota rozlišení
The Crazed Women album of Blazing Redheads (Reference Recordings, RR 41CD) has sleeve artwork that is downright terrible, but the sound quality is of high RR's standard as usual. Schmoozin' was recorded direct to a two-track tape recorder and it boasts with 16dB dynamic range, and has studio immediacy that places the listener into a control room behind a console. [The booklet reads that to evaluate the sound during mastering process Spectral CD player and amplifiers were used, plus Duntech Sovereign II loudspeakers. Ed.]. The saxophone sound jumped out of my speakers with the Nordost Valhalla V2. It had bloom and wonderful sense of acoustic space around the instruments. The saxes had exceptional bite and the bass guitar, though not digging too deep, had punch and glorious round tone to it. The Valhalla V2 was like a spotlight searching for the tinniest of details and I could not but love the impressive soundstage width that was one of the best you can have from any interconnect. It also highlighted the hiss of the master tape which is always a good indication that a cable (or a piece of equipment) deviates from strict neutrality.
Tonální věrnost
I preferred Valhalla V2 to any cable on synthesizer pieces, like Silence (Delerium, Karma, Nettwerk). Sonic tapestries of Delerium fronted by Sarah McLachlan threw fantastic soundstage filled with the acoustic guitar line, ultra-precisely separated from otherwise synthetic background. Or take Klaus Schulze. La Vie Electronique 5 is a 3-disc collection of banks of pulsing sequencers, all analogue, all captured live-to-tape during Schulze's concert tours in 70's. The sound of these 'vintage' cuts was refreshing as a breeze through the Valhalla V2 and bubbling synthesizers regained new life with the extra spark that the V2 lent to them. It is pain for a hi-fi enthusiast to see pictures from Schulze's performances that were recording venues at the same time – the artist surrounded by sequencers and synthesizers like an Airbus pilot, the machines connected by endless lengths of analog cables, looped, haphazardly ordered, who knows if shielded? Yet the sound captured on tape is captivating, pure and dynamic. Just dig it out with the Valhalla V2.
The only weakness of the Valhalla V2 interconnect was actually mentioned in the beginning of this review. The upward tilt of its frequency response signifies outstanding illumination power and laser-like resolution which makes it spatially very accurate, even more so than the original Nordost Odin. The string quartet suited the V2 very well and I had a good time listening to how the V2 conjured up the images of the instruments in the acoustic space. So what's the downside? The bodies of instruments are not so well reproduced, the V2 favours steel over wood, breathiness over chestiness. I had similar experience with orchestral music where harp, castanets and flutes took over the performance, and when horns joined in the sound cut like a knife. It was quite attractive as previously hardly heard details surfaced with strong presence, but it was always departure from the organic sound of a big orchestra that is about the wholeness, not about showing off.

It really is the tale of Silicon Valley in a nutshell. Two tech giant stocks, Yahoo (YHOO) and Google (GOOG), were both initially founded by graduate students at Stanford University; since then, each company has had its time in the limelight of the World Wide Web. At the beginning, Yahoo (YHOO) was hitting records with its Internet growth and stock performance. However, the dot-com bubble burst and the stock hasn't been able to recover to its previous levels. As for Google (GOOG), it has been the story of the past decade.
Search Markets Snapshot: Google Dominates
Yahoo has 700 million unique monthly visitors, which doesn't nearly match Google's over 1 billion unique monthly visitors. But it is in the explicit core searches that Yahoo is found wanting with its 2.6 billion number: a far cry from Google's 12 billion.
Google dominates the search market and will likely continue to do so for some time. Is Google's dominance unsurpassable? Can Yahoo even come close to competing with Google ever again, and is that even what Yahoo should try to do?
Yahoo v. Google By the Numbers: Earnings and Stock Comparison
Google suffered a glitch last week when it came to issuing its earnings report early, that wiped out $20B of its value. On the other hand, Yahoo has managed to come out on top this past week, sharing its earnings report after the stock market closed yesterday. The earnings report bodes well for the Sunnyvale, CA based firm; Wall Street has rated Yahoo as a 'buy' and upped its price target to $22.
Having recently celebrated its fourteenth anniversary (a rarity in the tech world), Google had great prospects with many Wall Street analysts expecting the stock to hit $800 per share. This was before the earnings report debacle that sent the stock tumbling to $587 a share. It has been hovering around there since, and investors are confused about what to do. The problem is compounded with Google's earnings report missing Wall Street targets. The Earnings Per Share (EPS) is $1.63 lower than Wall Street estimates and the revenue missed by $530M. It has been a hard week with the Dow losing 200 points because of disappointing Q3 earnings reports from McDonald's (MCD), Microsoft (MSFT) and General Electric (GE).
The hiccup that sent traders into a frenzy was blamed on Google's printer R.R. Donnelley. Interestingly, Yahoo and Facebook (FB) stocks fell as well. Yahoo shed 1.5 percent, but it has risen 4 percent due to the strong earnings report. It was mainly due to the Ali Baba sale that netted Yahoo $2.8 billion that saw net income reach $3.16 billion trumping Google's net income of $2.18 billion in the last quarter.
Nonetheless, Yahoo is clearly not a hot stock like Google. Google's EPS of 31.92 is almost 10 times Yahoo's EPS and even the P/E of 5.05 is not as impressive as Google's 21.43. Additionally, Yahoo does not even feature in the high growth smart phones and tablets market discussion with its Silicon Valley peers Apple (AAPL) and Google leading the way here.
Is Yahoo Making Moves for a Turnaround in 2013?
For better or for worse, Yahoo is copying the Google playbook; free meals and iPhones for employees. Yahoo is also powering its search results in the U.S. with Microsoft's Bing, a search engine that has been increasing its market share and becoming a real alternative to Google in its core business of web search. Things are also looking up for Yahoo and it has a pile of cash at its disposal after it sold its stake in China's AliBaba Group.
Yahoo has even brought in Marissa Mayer as President and CEO in a bold move that's been in the news for months. Mayer was employee number 20 and the first female engineer at Google when she joined the company in 1999. She was instrumental in luring Henrique de Castro – another star Google employee –to be Yahoo's COO starting early next year.
As for the move to mobile devices, CEO Mayer stated that smartphones are being used to check weather, read news and financial information, watch videos and play games. So Yahoo is definitely poised to capitalize along with Google.
There is also growth in its joint venture in Japan with Softbank Corp. Yet, there are reports that Yahoo could sell its 35 percent stake in Yahoo Japan to raise more cash.
The Final Say: Root for the Underdog?
Yahoo is clearly the underdog, but both firms have premium brand recognition as search engines even though Google has the edge. They also have great fundamentals that make them good long-term stock picks. While Google has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons the last few days, investors should not discard all the extremely positive news that has come to pass with the Mountain View, CA tech giant. It recently had its 25 billionth android app download too.
The question with Google for investors is whether the stock's decline is something like that of Apple or is it a sign of things to come. Google is a search company, but its core business is weakening and its expensive acquisitions (Motorola Mobility) haven't exactly paid off. It has also been hurt by the move to exit the Chinese market in early 2010.
Yahoo may have had a better Q3 earnings report, but short-term traders and long-term investors will still fancy their chances with Google stock.

A local disability football team celebrated the delivery of their new kit by making a special visit to the Rovers training ground.
Mill Hill Diversity FC are on a winning streak after being named 'Senior Team of the Year' at the Lancashire Telegraph Grassroots Heroes Awards, having been crowned Lancashire FA Ability Counts league and cup winners for 2012-13.
Rovers stars David Dunn, Paul Robinson and Matt Kilgallon were on hand to make the presentation, along with kit sponsors Alternative Futures Group.
Mill Hill manager John Walsh, who started the team only two years ago, said: "It's terrific for us to be associated with Blackburn Rovers. We're the nearest amateur team to the stadium and it would be great to establish a long-lasting partnership with the club.
"The lads absolutely loved the visit to Brockhall. A number of players took time out to sign autographs and pose for photos and they thought the whole Rovers experience was fantastic!"

I have to admit I'm a sucker for a name and Resurrection Cookies totally appeals to me. It conjours up images of zombies for me - and while these meringues aren't anything like zombies they are pretty amazing. The term resurrection refers to the fact that once you make the meringue you leave them in the oven overnight to dry out and presto! Out come magnificent sweet pillows of meringue.
1 cup roasted pecans cut finely with a knife.
3 egg whites
Pinch salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. Put egg whites into a stand up mixer bowl. Add salt. Start the mixer speed on low, gradually increasing the speed until soft peaks start to become visible and the egg white bubbles are very small and uniform, about 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Increase the speed to medium-high, and slowly add the sugar to the egg whites. Continue to whip the eggs and sugar for a few minutes. Then add the vinegar to the bowl. Increase speed to high and whip the egg whites until they fluff up and become glossy, and stiff peaks form when the whisk is lifted, 4-5 minutes.
4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pecan pieces. Drop by teaspoons onto a cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or Silpat.
5. Put the cookies sheet in the 300°F oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF. Leave them in the oven overnight. In the morning they should be ready - crisp on the outside, light and airy on the inside. If they are a little marshmallowy or chewy on the inside in the morning, just let them dry out for a few more hours.

Their swimming larvae are distinguished from other true flies by their wide thorax (the widest part of the body) and the presence of a breathing siphon (usually) at the end of the abdomen. The pupae are often referred to as "tumblers" due to their tumbling swimming motion. Typical habitats Culicid larvae and pupae can be abundant in all sorts of stagnant fresh waters, including ponds, drains, house gutterings or anywhere rain water collects. Feeding They use brush-like mouthparts to collect floating organic matter or to scrape organic slimes from submerged surfaces. Indicator value Culicid larvae can be abundant in natural lakes and ponds, but also in low oxygen pools filled with decomposing organic matter. They have low tolerance values of 3 (hard bottom sites) and 1.2 (soft bottom sites).

As a mixed-race individual living in the United States who encounters everything from the inevitable "Where are you from?" to being screamed at, my motivations for reading this collection were a tad selfish. I picked up this book because I thought it would be exclusively about immigration and race issues, and wondered if I'd see any aspect of my experiences reflected in these stories. While race and immigration are prominent in this collection, Maxine Beneba Clarke doesn't limit herself to these issues. What we have is a poetic and deeply empathetic short story collection about the various forms of marginalization. These stories explore the theme of foreign soil in fresh and unexpected ways that expanded my awareness of how people experience otherness.

Set approximately 100 years prior to the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Hedge Knight series is a set of novellas and subsequent graphic novels. I have not read the three novellas yet, but have read the two graphic novels adapted thus far from the series.
The novels feature two main characters, Dunk (later known as Duncan the Tall of the Kingsguard) and Egg (Aegon Targaryen, later King of Westeros). Aegon is mentioned in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, but I can't recall Duncan being mentioned in the series. Nevertheless, the world presented in the novels feels very familiar to a reader of the larger series, with the ancestors of characters such as Robert Baratheon, the Lannister siblings and Dany Targaryen playing generally supporting roles. The story itself is fairly straightforward and well written – Dunk is a squire who becomes a knight when his mentor dies, and follows him as he pursues his dream of becoming a knight and exploring the realm. Despite his royal blood, Egg becomes his squire and accompanies Dunk on his adventures. In addition to the battle scenes and political intrigue common to Martin's books, The Sworn Sword shows a bit of how a feudal system would really work, and The Hedge Knight depicts a tournament and a bit of the legal system of the realm. The series is interesting, as much of the A Song of Ice and Fire series focuses on the activities of the nobility, while Dunk is lowborn and dealing the world in an entirely different way as a result of his status. It gives some interesting backstory to the main series, particularly in further humanizing the Targaryen family. Mike Miller's art is very well done, with beautiful colouring that changes to reflect scene and atmosphere.
The story does not rely overmuch on the story developed in the main series, but it does seem to foreshadow some of the events – I am not sure if people not already familiar with Martin's work would be able to invest much into the graphic novels. I really enjoyed them, however, and look forward to reading the third graphic novel and the source novellas.

As you see in my last post with the kids club – we have now opened Gurnos Christian centre to the public. This is a really excited time for us and we are just waiting to see the amazing work which God will do there.
When the teams from the USA and Brighton were here, they helped us to fix the inside of the building and did an amazing job, so it was ready to used but the outside still needed to be painted. The Brazil team helped us to do this. IT was amazing how much attention the painting of the building caught from the community. Everyone was coming to ask what was going on, what will be here and on the first day I chatted with over 40 people, just because of people coming to ask 'what was going on'.
