Willy Aybar's latest arrest for domestic assault has landed him in jail for (at least) the next three months. This report comes from Dominican Today that reports Aybar has been sent to jail to await his trial due to his status as a repeat
scumbag offender.
A National District Court Monday night sent Major League Baseball player Willy Aybar to spend three months prison to await trial on charges of battering his wife Brunilda Victoria Garcia…The prosecutors said Aybar is a repeat offender in domestic violence and also accused him of striking two assistant DAs, prompting Permanent Attention Court judge Alejandro Vargas to send him to the jail at Najayo, San Cristóbal (south)
By our count, this is the third time the former Rays utility player has been arrested for domestic assault, one of which landed his wife in intensive care.
His wife has recanted her story, however prosecutors want to proceed with the case.

The first English sparkling wine made by a French champagne maker is about to go on sale, providing the clearest sign yet that British fizz is coming of age.
Meonhill, made from grapes grown from French rootstocks planted in Hampshire, will be available early in 2012.
Until now French wine makers have not invested in cultivation of the grape in Kent, Sussex and Hampshire – places closely resembling the climate and chalky geology of northern France.
The planned release of the first 5,000 bottles by Didier Pierson-Whitaker, owner of a grand cru vineyard in Champagne, comes as established English vintners of champagne-style sparkling wines report a dramatic growth in sales and demand.
Waitrose says sales of 18 English sparkling wines have risen by almost a third compared with last Christmas, and Ridgeview, a wine maker in the South Downs, reports trebled sales in the last two years.
Marcus Waring's recently opened London restaurant, Sir Gilbert Scott, is now selling more glasses of English sparking wine than Moët et Chandon, the Champagne region's biggest global brand.
"Demand is outstripping production and we can't keep up," said Mardi Roberts, sales manager at Ridgeview, in Sussex, which last month won best sparkling wine in the 2011 International Wine and Spirit Competition. "Exports have been a real growth area and now represent 20% of our sales to places like the US, Finland, Japan and Hong Kong."
Cultivation in the UK of the three grape varieties used to make traditional champagne-style sparkling wine – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – has more than quadrupled since 2005, according to data held by the Food Standards Agency.
The grape varieties now grow across 550 hectares (1,235 acres), more than half of the space that is devoted to vineyards. Farmers are catching on and four parcels of arable land at Barham Court, in Kent, that until now were planted with cereal crops, are being sold for use as a sparkling wine vineyard.
Meanwhile, Waitrose this autumn pressed the first grapes from its own newly planted vineyard in Hampshire to make an own-brand sparkling wine that will be ready for drinking in 2013 or 2014.
"When I first put English sparkling wine on my wine lists five years ago, people were scared," said Mark Cesareo, head sommelier at the Sir Gilbert Scott, which stocks three English sparklers. "The people who were most averse were the English themselves while tourists and even French people wanted to try it.
"Now I stock three English wines by the glass, Gusbourne, Ridgeview and Nyetimber. If I sell 10 cases of Moët week, I will do six of Gusbourne, five of Ridgeview and three of Nyetimber."
Some wine makers, however, admit to difficulties operating in the UK's nascent wine industry.
"Truthfully, it has been tough," said Imogen Pierson-Whitaker, who is behind the Meonhill wine. "We don't have the massive support system you have in France. We planted in 2005 and the vines have been fabulous some years and there have been poor years. There is a bit of an issue with the wind, but that can help prevent mould. It will obviously evolve, but the beginnings are tough, especially when you are using a new vineyard." Roberts said: "There is possibly a bit of a gold rush going on. There are a lot of people planting at the moment, but people underestimate the cost of producing the wine. We have put in a lot of effort in to get the standard up and we are conscious of the need to keep it there."
Coates and Seely, which makes sparkling wines in the north Hampshire downs, emblazons "Britagne" on the gold foil of its bottle necks and has suggested that other sparkling wine producers do the same to protect standards.
Christian Seely, former managing director of Axa Millésimes, which owns Château Pichon-Longueville and Château Suduiraut, both celebrated Bordeaux houses, wanted the name to stand for a specific "methode brittanique" of vinification. Ridgeview has trade-marked the word "merret" to describe its English sparkling wine. In 1662 Christopher Merret presented a paper to the Royal Society in London which outlined the process of making traditional sparkling wines. This was, Ridgeview says, 30 years before the technique was documented in Champagne.

20 Of The World's Dumbest Criminals
Criminals generally aren't too smart, especially considering they're trying to rob, steal, and otherwise cause mischief in an attempt to make some money. There are some criminals, however, who go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure everyone has a good laugh at their expense. These guys – and gals – managed to botch their attempted crime, make the papers and online stories, and get themselves arrested or injured in the meantime. Have a chuckle or two at their expense.
Two shoplifters managed to get away with stacks of DVDs and video games from a Wisconsin Target store. Unfortunately, one of the men butt-dialed the police before boasting about their crime for an hour straight.
Glass Wall of Vengeance
One man decided he was going to shoplift from the local mall, but security caught on and chased him through the halls. Unfortunately for the man, the glass door stopped him dead in his tracks.
Chair Beat Down
When you're going to rob a convenience store, you probably want to make sure the cashier behind the counter doesn't have any weapons. One robber didn't think a metal chair could be very deadly, but it sure hurt his head quite a bit.
Free Beer
Undercover cops wanted a few easy wins, so they asked dozens of people to call a marketing company for a free crate of beer. 19 suspects fell for the trick, which ended up with them behind bars for their crimes.

Released: 1989
Fun Fact: Capcom only allowed the Mega Man 2 team to develop the game while they worked on other projects, owing to the first game's lack of success.
Watch Gameplay
Mega Man didn't sell very well, but Capcom decided to allow the Rockman development team to create a follow-up anyway. Smart choice: Mega Man 2 is the most popular and best-selling game in the series, and is also often considered to be one of the best video games of all time.
Mega Man 2 was a platformer like the first game, and featured vast improvements to the graphics, audio, and game mechanics. Players could recharge Mega Man's health at any time by picking up energy tanks which could be stored and used later, and a password system allowed players to virtually save their progress.
Players fought against eight Robot Masters instead of six this time around. The level design was better, the variety of enemies was better, and Mega Man 2's North American release also included an easy setting. That may have had a tremendous amount to do with how popular this sequel was, as it made the game so much more accessible to the general audience.

Exhibition review published in ArtReview (London), vol. 69 no. 2, March 2017, p. 99.
Running in parallel to a supposed retrospective at Centre Pompidou that Jean-Luc Moulène twisted into what he calls a 'retro-prospective of protocols' featuring mainly new sculptures from 2015–6, Ce fut une belle journée at Chantal Crousel also presents an ensemble of recent works: 16 previously unshown hybrid objects, supported by knowingly naïve drawings and two videos. Whereas the sixty-one-year-old Frenchman gained recognition during the late 1990s for his work in photography, his practice has since become essentially sculptural, leaving art critics chewing their nails over the impossible mission of defining his overtly anarchistic, shape-shifting aesthetics. The way the artist verbalises his ideal sculptures should give you a hint as to why. Here is an attempt to paraphrase bits and pieces of conceptual gibberish from his latest interviews: "my utopia for artworks is to produce mind tools to describe complexity, using mathematical knot and set theories to affirm disjuncts based on Michel Journiac's notion of body as conscious social meat." Got that? Me neither.
Armed with the knowledge that mathematical knots are embedded circles with no ends to tie – not unlike Moulène's heteroclite exhibitions – and for the sake of proceeding through this review without resorting to Journiac's performed cannibalism in his 1969 Messe pour un corps (he offered his public a sausage made with his own blood), I'll turn to Seule au sommet, Paris, 2016 (2016), displayed in the back of the gallery. According to the artist, this statuette, made from seashells and epoxy resin, was inspired by Bubu, mascot of the French literary review Le Grand Jeu (1928–32). This fictional character is the offspring of Baubo, a mythological female figure often represented with her face in the body and her vulva in the chin, and Ubu Roi, the leading protagonist of the 1896 eponymous play by Alfred Jarry, who was not only the French precursor of Surrealism, but also the inventor of 'Pataphysics, the wonderfully absurd science of imaginary solutions. (As chance would have it, for months I've contemplated joining the Collège de 'Pataphysique in exchange of a modest €40 fee, taking my commitment to useless research and nonsensical digression very seriously.)
Now call me crazy, but I swear I heard Bubu whispering to me: Surveying the images and captions of his curious artefacts – among others, the stunning reptilelike Créature, Paris, 2016 (2016) covered with false nails, the wood knot Tête couronnée, Paris, 2013 (2013) crowned with five of the artist's teeth, the portmanteau work ConquOs, Paris – Mexico (2016) joining together a bone and a conch shell, as well as Silex neufs, Barneville, 2013 (2013) and Poing, Barneville – Paris, 2016 (2016), both brain-shaped assemblages of flint chunks – the overall ensemble begins to read as some kind of an anthropological display, : André Leroi-Gourhan. Leafing through the latter's 1965 masterwork Le Geste et la parole, one might stumble upon this passage, which roughly translates into: 'Australanthropians seem to have possessed their tools the same way as an animal has claws […] as if their brains and bodies had gradually exuded them.' Pataeureka!
It is now with a renewed faith in the nonsensical, then, that I'd like to advance the following hypothesis: For example, in the show, which remains mostly organic, this subversion additionally assumes the form of Inverse – Reverse, Barneville – Paris, 2016 (2016), an intricate assemblage of branches covered with blue and red paint, which suggests a vascular system, and Silver Puke, Paris, 2013 (2013), a rounded arabesque of spoons, whose shape is equally reminiscent of a rotavirus (the agent that causes vomiting and diarrhoea). Whether or not you'll choose to validate my 'pataphysical proposition, Moulène's art is to neurons what an oyster is to gustatory cells: an exquisite acquired taste.

BlacKkKlansman (in german language)
USA 2018, 136 min.
Director: Spike Lee
with: John David Washington, Laura Harrier, Adam Driver, Topher Grace, Ryan Eggold, Jasper Pääkkönen, Alec Baldwin, Michael Buscemi, Robert John Burke, Corey Hawkins, Paul Walter Hauser, Harry Belafonte
In the early 1970s, Ron Stallworth is hired as the first black officer in the Colorado Springs, Colorado police department. Stallworth is initially assigned to work in the records room, where he faces racial slurs from his coworkers. Stallworth requests a transfer to go undercover, and is assigned to infiltrate a local rally at which national civil rights leader Kwame Ture is to give a speech. At the rally, Stallworth meets Patrice Dumas, the president of the black student union at Colorado College. While taking Ture to his hotel, Patrice is stopped by patrolman Andy Landers, a corrupt, racist officer in Stallworth's precinct, who threatens Ture and sexually assaults Patrice.
After the rally, Stallworth is reassigned to the intelligence division. While reading the paper, he finds an advertisement to join the Ku Klux Klan. Stallworth calls and pretends to be a white man, and speaks with Walter Breachway, the president of the Colorado Springs chapter. Stallworth recruits his Jewish coworker, Flip Zimmerman, to act as him in order to meet the Ku Klux Klan members in person. Zimmerman attends a meeting and meets Walter, along with the more radicalized member Felix Kendrickson. Zimmerman also speaks with another member named Ivanhoe, who cryptically refers to an upcoming attack.
Zimmerman and Stallworth continue to cultivate their relationship with the local Klan chapter. Calling Klan headquarters in Louisiana to expedite his membership, Stallworth speaks with David Duke, the Grand Wizard, with whom he begins regular conversations on the phone. Kendrickson makes Zimmerman take a "Jewish lie detector test" at gunpoint, but Stallworth throws a rock through the Kendrickson family window to distract everyone. Stallworth begins dating Patrice, but does not tell her that he is a police officer. After passing on information to the Army CID about active duty members, he learns from a meeting with an FBI agent that two of the chapter's members are military personnel stationed at NORAD headquarters.
Duke visits Colorado Springs for Stallworth's induction into the Klan; over the real Stallworth's protests, he is assigned to a protection detail for Duke. After Zimmerman, masquerading as Stallworth, is initiated, Felix's wife Connie leaves the ceremony to place a bomb at a civil rights rally. Stallworth realizes her intentions and alerts local police officers. Acting on Felix's backup plan, Connie tries to plant the bomb in Patrice's mailbox; finding that it will not fit, she leaves it under Patrice's car instead. Stallworth tackles her as she tries to flee, but uniformed officers detain and beat him over his protests that he is working undercover. Felix, Ivanhoe, and bomb maker Walker (who had recognized Zimmerman from a prior arrest and conviction) arrive and park next to Patrice's car. They set off the bomb, not knowing where Connie had hidden it, and are killed in the explosion. Zimmerman arrives and frees Stallworth, and Connie is arrested. While celebrating the closed case that night, Stallworth wears a hidden microphone and tricks a drunken Landers into bragging about his assault on Patrice; with the confession on tape, Landers is arrested.
Police Chief Bridges congratulates the team for their successful operation, but orders them to end it and keep all details from the public. As he is packing up, Stallworth receives one last call from Duke. Stallworth reveals to Duke that he is a black man before hanging up. Later, Patrice and Stallworth discuss their future together, only to be interrupted by a knock on the door. Through the window, they see a large flaming cross on a distant hillside surrounded by Klan members.
The film closes with footage from the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, including footage of the white supremacists, David Duke giving a speech to the attendees, counter-protesters, the car attack, and President Trump's statements after the events. The film ends with a memorial to Heather Heyer, the car attack victim, and an upside-down American flag, which fades to black and white.

I'd love to have you receive my Soulish Food eNewsletter for people who are hungry souls.
For decades, Karen Mains, a prolific writer and gifted communicator, has offered her talents, as well as her joys and sorrows, to the building of God's Kingdom.
Whether as an author, speaker, or radio and television producer and co-host, Karen has addressed the deep spiritual needs and longings that surface in our current society. Karen's voice is substantive, often humorous, many times lyrical, but always practical.
Many of her creative works have been birthed out of personal experience. Her first best-selling book Open Heart, Open Home, is considered a classic and deals with the theology of Christian hospitality. It has sold over 600,000 copies and captured experiences out of 12 years serving in an inner city pastorate in a church founded by her husband, David R. Mains. The book challenges believers to use hospitality as a means of bringing redemption to a broken society.
In 1977, Mains' communication gifts expanded when her husband became director of The Chapel of the Air Ministries. This nationally known outreach featured a syndicated radio broadcast, aired on almost 500 outlets each Monday through Saturday across the U.S. and Canada. Karen often served as co-host on the 15-minute program, lending her unique perspective to issues that impact the spiritual vitality of individual Christians and local churches. Her broadcast research generated the widely accepted book, Child Sexual Abuse: A Hope for Healing, co-authored with Maxine Hancock. The Mains' media ministry continued with the daily half-hour national television show, You Need 2 Know, which won the 1995 Producer of the Year award from The National Religious Broadcasters.
In 1980, Karen traveled through the barrios and refugee camps in Central America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. As a result of these journeys, she wrote The Fragile Curtain, which won the 1982 Christopher Award given to writers, producers, and directors whose works affirm the highest values of the human spirit and are representative of the best achievements in their fields.
Mains' three books for children, The Kingdom Tales Trilogy, was awarded the Gold Medallion by the Evangelical Press Association. These stories are frequently used by pastors as sermon material, have been endlessly adapted in dramatic form for churches and Christian schools, and have been regularly employed for the purposes of deep therapy by Christian counselors.
Karen Mains served on the Board of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for eight years and was elected its first woman chairperson. She is the co-founder of the Chrysosostom Society, a group of well-known Christian writers committed to excellence in their work. A past member of the Author's Guild of New York, she works to reconcile, through a variety of means (one of which is the establishment of Artists' Communities in local churches), the artist to Christianity. As part of her personal interest, Karen now offers informal Wannabee Writers mentoring discussions.
Karen Mains now serves as co-director of Mainstay Ministries where she is responsible for Hungry Souls, a spiritual mentoring outreach that seeks to help people whose appetite for God is greater than what their present environment is meeting. An annual 24-hour Advent Retreat of Silence, 3-day Retreats of Silence to people in the Chicagoland area. She delights in leading hungry souls in growth groups where group spiritual direction is offered. In addition, she has developed Journeys for Hungry Souls, a travel ministry that seeks to introduce pilgrims to the disciplines of pilgrimage.
The lastest growth edge in the Hungry Souls outreach has been to experiment with the powerful healing potential of listening groups. Over the past three years, Karen has overseen, observed, or participated in over 240 small listening groups. She is now beginning a research project that will assess the profound impact of these small group experiences.
Always passionate about the underprivileged and under-resourced, this year Karen and similarly passionate colleagues have launched The Global Bag Project, a way to connect eco-shopping to micro-credit enterprises. The first cooperative bag-making project is now being formed in Nairobi, Kenya. Karen will be traveling to Kenya in March 2009 with a group of 14 women. They will be meeting with Kenyan women to link their distant worlds in pragmatic ways.
Although she has authored over 27 books in the religious fields (her most recent is Going on a God Hunt with IVPress), Karen feels called to write about spiritual meaning into the secular culture, and is now spending much of her time discovering markets that are open to her work.
The Mains have been married for 47 years and live in the western suburbs of Chicago. As the parents of four adult offspring, Karen and David are highly committed to creating healthy families and are eagerly sharing their invaluable spiritual journeys with the next generation, their own 7 grandchildren.

Commonly referred to as 'SMC'.
- can tutor for any program, including non-icebreakers
- can be used midrun to tutor a program needed to break a just-rezzed piece of ice
- can be difficult to have available in mid-late game
- Can be expensive to pay full install cost of an expensive breaker + 2
Notable interactions
- Leprechaun is the perfect place to install this, as the MU cost of programs is irrelevant to Leprechaun
- can also be installed on Djinn, and then used to install a breaker (installing the breaker elsewhere, not on Djinn)
- Clone Chip can be used to install this, then immediately use this to get the program you need - effectively turning Clone Chips into extra SMCs - this can even be done mid-run
- with an installed and sufficiently loaded Datasucker, SMC can be used to fetch a Parasite and destroy an ice on facechecking it, before its subroutines fire - this technique is known as 'Parasite bombing'
- including single copies of efficient one-use breakers like Deus X and Sharpshooter is powerful with SMC able to fetch them exactly when needed
- As a 0 program, it can waste Kate "Mac" McCaffrey's program install discount
- However, it can be used during the Corp turn to get Kate's discount a bonus time (since the discount is once per each player turn)
Final Thoughts
- a faction-defining card for Shaper, it fits into many, many different Shaper decks
- Clone Chip very frequently pairs with it, to get the same instant-install effect from the heap
- it is an interesting contrast with Test Run
- SMC shines as a way to safely facecheck ice, but can require a large amount of credits on hand to pay ability cost, install cost of breaker, cost to boost breaker, and cost to break subroutines.
- Test Run on the other hand shines as a way to affordably break a rezzed ice this turn, as it lets you to temporarily install any breaker without paying its install cost - perfect with Femme Fatale
(Up and Over era)
One other thing that can be done is fetching Atman and tuning it to break the ICE you're currently encountering. This can be cost prohibitive (credit-wise, this costs 2 for SMC, 3 for Atman install, the strength of the ICE to tune Atman, plus 1 per subroutine) but similar to Femme Fatale it solves the problem of that specific ICE permanently. The case to use this over Femme is that it's actually cheaper against ICE with strength 5 or less, there's no influence cost, and Atman can use the efficient break it provides on multiple different pieces of ICE; Femme is a better option against ICE with strength 6 or more or if the corp has a number of low power Sentries. Of course, if the influence for D4v1d can be afforded it covers the holes Atman leaves at the higher end of the spectrum quite neatly. — LordRandomness

What's the possessive form of "students"?

Possessives are so tricky until you really learn the rules, and even then it is easy to get confused by so many irregular nouns. Possessive apostrophes are different from regular apostrophes, and they are only used to show possession.
The general rules are as follows:
To form the possessive of a singular noun, whether it ends in an -s or not, add an apostrophe and an -s. For example, "this is the woman's room," "that is the bus's route," or "this is the man's closet." The rule for singular nouns is not difficult to remember--always add an apostrophe and an -s.
Plural nouns are not difficult either, though there are two rules to remember. If a plural noun already ends in an -s, just add an apostrophe. For example, "the boys' room" (which means the room belongs to more than one boy), "the ladies' room" (which means the room belongs to more than one lady), or "the flags' stripes" (which refers to the stripes on more than one flag). To review from the Purdue Online Writing Lab:
add ' to the end of plural nouns that end in -s:
two cats' toys
three friends' letters
the countries' laws
If the plural noun does not end in -s, add an apostrophe and an -s. For example, women is plural and does not end in an -s, so this is the plural usage: "the women's room." Men is another plural noun that does not end with an -s, so the possessive is "men's," meaning something belongs to all the men. To review from the Purdue Online Writing Lab:
add 's to the plural forms that do not end in -s:
the children's game
the geese's honking
Now for your question.
- One student's locker is open (a locker belonging to one student)
- The students' lockers are open (every locker belonging to the students is open)
So, the possessive form of students (a plural noun that already ends with an -s) is students'. Think about the apostrophe as being a clue to the reader about number; in written work, the only way a reader knows whether or not you mean the possessive of one student or more than one student is by your use of the apostrophe.
The resource which I linked below is a very good tool for this and other grammar/punctuation questions. There are a few more rules about possessives, but you do not need to look at those unless you are interested.

Silverbark is a boutique cattery; our cats are treated as family members. Someone once said; we do not own the Bengals, they own us.
We are conscious of remaining small to ensure we have only the best animals and provide top care and attention to them, raising our litters one at a time.
The love for these animals started years ago and now continues as a duty not only to these majestic creatures but also to the tradition of the established bloodlines and to carry on with the great work and many years of experience of other dedicated breeders.
We do not take this commitment lightly; each and every kitten will go only to a carefully selected new home.
... and no, our cats don't bark! Silvery bark can be found on eucalyptus trees that grow around our new home in the hills of Perth, Western Australia.
We have one mission in our breeding, and that is to produce outstanding Bengals who are matched with people that will love them for the rest of their lives.

UO Pride: Taylor Bennett
To celebrate Pride this month, we're sharing the stories of young creatives showing their pride and proving that love is love. We've partnered with GLSEN to introduce an exclusive collection of graphic tees and hats, with all profits donated to GLSEN in support of LGBTQ youth. Read more about #UOPride here.
On the set of his latest music video, we caught up with Chicago hip-hop artist Taylor Bennett to talk about his latest mixtape, his nonprofit work, and the importance of loving yourself.
Photos by Lyndon French
What's the first song you can ever remember creating?
The first song I can remember creating is "Dear Daddy". I made it when I was 13 at YOUmedia downtown. YOUmedia is located in the Harold Washington library, they offer creative resources so kids aren't on the street and are productive. I made it towards my dad when he was in D.C. It's still one of my favorites till this day.
How did growing up in Chicago shape you personally and artistically?
Growing up in Chicago made me the person that I am today. If I grew up in another city I wouldn't be the same way. The streets, the culture, the food, the ideas, the lack of diversity in certain areas, the struggle to be immersed, all of those things have shaped me as a person, shaped me as a musician. I couldn't imagine being from anywhere else.
How do you work through any creative blocks you encounter while making your music?
When I get writers block, I just keep going. I think the best thing you can do as an artist and a person is to just never give up.
Your latest mixtape sports a ton of great big-name features and collaborations. How did the mixtape come together?
I reached out to my best friends and some notable artist like Lil Yachty, Kyle, Raury, my brother Chance The Rapper, Jeremih, Mike Will Made It, and a couple others who are pretty big artists, and by God's will, they were willing to work. They liked the music, and we really got into it. This is my best work yet. If you want to know who Taylor Bennett is, Restoration Of An American Idol is the best way to find out.
The mixtape showcases your music heading in a more refined direction. Where there any new musical ideas you were most excited about trying out/experimenting with?
Yeah! I really like to sing. I haven't felt as comfortable as singing as I did in "Dancing In The Rain," but I really like the high pitched singing. I think this is the first project I've felt comfortable enough to do that and it worked out pretty well. A lot of my fans liked it! I think a lot of new listeners were persuaded to check out who I was based off of it. I think that's one of the better new musical ideas I explored.
How has your musical taste evolved over time? Do you feel like that's impacted your own style?
I listen to a wider variety of music now. My music and musical tastes have shifted. I've gone from liking mainstream music to more conscious rap like J. Cole and Kendrick, and I think they both have big influences on my music today. What I try to do is keep my music level-headed to relate to everybody. I try not to be too wordy or too street smart or even book smart, but to try to be a mixture of all the in-between to try to reach out to as many people as possible.
Who do you make music for?
I make music not just for my fans, but for all people. My dream is to do the biggest show I possibly can, and at one point, ask everyone to look to their left and their right and have them realize that they are around straight, gay, black, white, rich and poor people, and see that they're all together and we are all equal. I want to have everybody realize the power of music and how it brings people together from different backgrounds to show how we can all share interest.
What's next for you?
I'm working on new material, more music videos, hoping to grow more with the Urban Outfitters family. I'm constantly trying to raise awareness and put my efforts into fighting against the homeless youth crisis, always looking to put my best foot forward and preparing for what's to come.

Mohammad Rasoulof's latest film, GOODBYE is the story of a young lawyer (Lelya Zareh) in Tehran, Iran in search of a visa to leave the…
China, 1920s. It is the Age of Warlords and the whole country is in total chaos.
Purportedly ruled by an impotent central government, corrupt and over-ambitious local military commanders surge to power, running their forces like private armies. In the countryside, innocent citizens fall victims to marauding bandits who themselves become a force to be reckoned with and, before long, a law unto themselves.
Out of this brutal world in the life is short and nasty, a man with a mysterious past strides forth. Curiously nick-named "Pocky" – for he has not a mark on his face – Zhang Muzhi is a prodigious marksman and leader of a band of outlaws known as the Mahjong Gang.
When what sets off as a regulation train robbery draws to an unintended and bloody conclusion, Zhang finds himself having to assume the identity of a dead county governor and leads his men on a journey to take charge of a southern town.
Unbeknownst to Zhang, however, the governor did not die in the raid. In a desperate attempt to survive, the governor swapped identities with one of the dead men and became, quite reluctantly, the counselor in the Zhang's entourage.
More surprises are in store for Zhang and his intrepid gang of outlaws as they arrive to find that the town is firmly in the iron grip of Master Huang, a wealthy and ruthless local gentry, who is evidently far more than what he seems. Immediately sensing a threat from each other, Zhang and Huang lock themselves in a desperate and deadly struggle, in which both men must summon up every iota of strategy and brute strength, in an effort to remain the last man standing…

Crest Toothpaste Has Bizarre Interchange With Comic on Twitter
Crest toothpaste displayed a previously unknown comic side this week when it launched a Twitter exchange with comedian John Freiler, in which the latter accused the former of donating funds to Al Qaeda and called its signature product "toothgoop."
However, rather than taking offense, the Procter & Gamble brand rolled with the punches, matching wits with the comic.
The exchange started gently enough, with Freiler claiming unauthorized use of the product:
. @johnfreiler Whoa.Cavity creep.
— Crest (@Crest) September 10, 2012
@johnfreiler Our toothbrushes are lovers not fighters.See the package: SOFT bristles.
— Crest (@Crest) September 10, 2012
.@crest with STURDY, rubber-grip handles so the razor stays in place while you're stabbing a snitch in the yard
— john freiler (@johnfreiler) September 10, 2012
. @johnfreiler Sounds like a purrrfect cat fight. reeeerrrrr! twitter.com/Crest/status/2…
— Crest (@Crest) September 10, 2012
. @johnfreilerWhy did you have bring them into this? #CrestToothgoopersUnite
— Crest (@Crest) September 10, 2012
.@johnfreilerHow about a hi-five & 1 yr supply of your favorite toothgoop?
— Crest (@Crest) September 10, 2012
.@johnfreiler Sold, but only with your guarantee to pay it forward. Send email to firstname.lastname@example.com #CrestToothgoopersUnite
— Crest (@Crest) September 10, 2012
Though the conversation veered off into off-brand territory, a Crest rep was proud of the interchange. She also said that Freiler is not employed by the brand in any capacity and the above is an "organic" conversation.
Meanwhile, after he got into it with Crest, Freiler began taking on casual dining chain Applebee's, alleging, among other things, that it was promoting a 9/11-themed sundae. Applebee's has avoided engaging Freiler directly.

Paris St-Germain forward Neymar serves the final game of his two-game European ban when his side face Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Neymar, 27, was given a three-game suspension for insulting match officials after PSG's loss to Manchester United in March, but the ban was later reduced to two matches.
Forward Kylian Mbappe, 20, is available for the Ligue 1 leaders after he played for 30 minutes in their 1-0 win over Bordeaux on Saturday on his return from a thigh injury following a month out.
Substitute Mbappe made an instant impact as he set up Neymar, who scored the winning goal at the weekend.
PSG are top of Group A after beating Real Madrid 3-0 in their first match, while Galatasaray, seventh in the Turkish Super Lig, were involved in a goalless draw away at Belgian side Club Bruges in their Champions League opener.

It's patently obvious that Axe, Bow & Staff was designed for co-op play. The game would have been a massive hit in arcades back when people still actually cared about those things. The single player experience always feels like it's missing something, though. The character swapping and AI are frustrating at worst, annoying at best, both problems that are avoided by doing some sweet co-op. Basically, if you can play Axe, Bow & Staff with other people, do it. Single player should only be considered a last resort.
Fortunately for us cooperation fiends, Axe, Bow & Staff supports both local and online co-op. It's frightfully easy to join or start an online game. Simply choose the option from the main menu, or tap the button before any stage to take your solo quest to the internet. In theory you could always find someone to join the adventure, but since Axe, Bow & Staff is a relatively new game with a small following, don't count on randoms. Plan ahead and have some friends at the ready, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.
When discussing the successes and drawbacks to the Axe, Bow & Staff experience, you can very neatly draw a line between single player and co-op modes. Poor character AI is the number one stumbling block for enjoying this game. You can't control all three characters at once, meaning you have to rely on the computer to do semi-smart things when you're otherwise occupied. This very rarely happens. You'll swear and scream at the wizard for moving an enemy right in your path, hate on the archer for walking right into a trap, and scratch your head as the warrior does nothing to stop the onslaught of enemies staring you in the face. This stumbling block is a tough one to get over, and it's not helped by the confusing character switching controls that never seem to give you the class you want to control.
The good news is that co-op washes away most of the problems with Axe, Bow & Staff, leaving behind a good looking arcade RPG with plenty of extras to indulge in. Multiple human players means no character switching and no AI cursing, letting you experience the fun and frantic level design in full force. Axe, Bow & Staff also has a great sense of humor and a fantastic soundtrack. It's the kind of game you'll sit down to play a few rounds, then end up fighting foes from cavern to desert without even realizing the afternoon has passed. Provided you're doing all of this with co-op partners, that is.
Co-Op Score
The Co-Op Experience: Up to three players team up locally or online to run your way through the 30+ procedurally generated levels

Align Your Head, Heart, Gut
What is Trigruence™?
When part of you wants one thing and the rest of you is confused, making decisions is difficult and sometimes… impossible. And when your head (logical mind, heart (emotional mind), and gut (intuitive mind) all agree – are in alignment; decision-making and action becomes easier.
Trigruence™ is the end-state for our clients. We utilize various NLP techniques to achieve this state and we teach our clients how to maintain this integration through short-term coaching tailored to each individual client's goals.
Why is this so different than traditional coaching?
Coaching takes a "top down" approach, working directly with the conscious mind to change behaviors through habits and accountability – over time. Trigruence™ Coaching is short-term and works directly with your unconscious mind. Watch the "Catalyst" video to learn more.
Trigruence™ Coaching also differs from traditional coaching because the first thing we'll do is let work to help you let go of old negative emotions and beliefs that have been holding you back. We won't do this by talking about it, that would be too conscious and time-consuming… we'll do Time Line Therapy™ and other NLP techniques to change the way your mind processes your world. Then we'll use some creative techniques to place a compelling goal into your unconscious mind. Learn more about Time Line Therapy™ and NLP.

Current production resembles "Saturday Night Live," with series of sketches bookended by "live" beginning and endings. Trying to have it both ways, Short includes a bit that takes a fairly sharp bite at "SNL's" use of consistently unamusing recurrent characters (this one a fellow whose catch phrase is "That's right!").
Despite number of billboarded guest stars, bulk of weight here falls on Short and Jan Hooks, co-star of his earlier sitcom. Fortunately, both are versatile performers — it becomes evident that "SNL" barely plumbed Hooks' repertoire — who switch effortlessly between portrayals of real-life personalities ranging from Kato Kaelin to Tim Burton, and from Rosie Perez to David Letterman's mother.
Those four names demonstrate that show varies between painfully overdone subjects and stuffyou'll not see anywhere else –"Richard Lester's 'A Hard Day's Journey Into Night' " is a highlight in latter respect. Less effective in that mold is "Tim Burton's 'A Nightmare to Remember,' " which finds quirky director helming latest remake of "An Affair to Remember." Pic is likely unfamiliar in any of its incarnations to this show's target audience, and — except for funny surprise ending — there's little of Burton in this version, anyway.
Short's Jackie Rogers Jr. character appears in a remake of "The Bodyguard," and Ed Grimley, from his "SCTV" days, also puts in an appearance.
Running gags include nighttime soaps "Models, Amalgamated"; a series of characters reminiscing about the early days of TV (Short's Irving Cohen persona prattling on about how the screen on early sets "was so small, you used to have to watch it one at a time … but you had a chance to learn your craft."); and a magazine show hosted by Taylor McGillvray (Short) and Sandy Spracklin (Hooks), whose banter barely conceals their mutual hostility.
Supporting cast blend in, with Phil Hartman notable as a character in "Models , Amalgamated"; Short's former SCTV-mate Joe Flaherty as Lyle Lovett; and Harry Shearer playing Mr. Blackwell in a sketch, seemingly ad-libbed, in which celebrities gather at Spago following the People's Entertainment Television Excellence award.
To everyone's credit, there's no applause or laughter, canned or "sweetened."

Widen is a content technology company that helps brands improve the return on their content investments by leveraging its cloud-based digital asset management (DAM) solutions to catalog, govern, publish and analyze valuable content assets. The firm works with world-renowned brands in the areas of marketing, advertising and publishing, as well as content producers in any number of fields — from manufacturing to retail. Widen is a Digimarc Guardian partner that integrates Digimarc Barcode into its image protection solutions.
"Our customers are able to add Digimarc Barcode to content to re-enforce their copyright, allow their images to be found online, and attribute ownership against unauthorized use."- Jake Athey, VP of marketing at Widen
Digimarc Barcode is an imperceptible identifier added to individual photos and other images prior to distribution. This identifier continues to communicate ownership rights even after file format changes, encryption/decryption, editing and cropping. Along with Digimarc Barcode, Widen offers Digimarc Guardian's search service for identifying illicit content use online, as well as providing on-demand reporting via a cloud-based portal.
"Our customers generally come to us with some kind of DAM and rights management plan," says Jake Athey, VP of marketing at Widen. But, he added, they are not focused specifically on security, rights management and asset tracking. This is where the Widen-Digimarc partnership proves itself indispensable for Widen's customers.
"Using Digimarc's technology, we help our customers create a better game plan," Athey says. "We ask them: Do you track your digital assets today? What about your digital rights? Do you know what happens to your assets after they're distributed internally and externally?" Widen, with Digimarc, shows them.
Widen customers leverage Digimarc's technology to track assets "in the wild," monitor and report on instances of infringement and protect themselves legally.
"Our customers are able to add Digimarc Barcode to content to re-enforce their copyright, allow their images to be found online and attribute ownership against unauthorized use," Athey says.
Widen also appreciates Digimarc Guardian's low impact on its customers' current workflow. Enhancing an image with Digimarc Barcode is usually done after the image editing process is complete and images are scaled and compressed to their final web-posting size.
Customers' enhanced images then proceed through the normal post-production workflow before finally making it online.
"When it comes to digital rights management and asset tracking, Digimarc Guardian is invaluable to our customers' digital assets, and we're proud to be an integration partner," Athey says.

Square Enix has a sale for the most holy of business created holidays, Valentines Day. What better way to spend Valentines Day, than wholeheartedly embracing buying things last minute for your significant other or maybe even for yourself. That being said, it is an awfully good deal they have going on though. You can get the Legacy of Kain Collection for a mere £1.99 / €2.49 / A$2.99 which includes four games with Legacy of Kain in the title and it also has a Nosgoth Veterans Pack in there to boot.
Murdered: Soul Suspect also has the same deal on and which we reviewed a while ago and thought it was merely OK. It is only £1.99 but if you can only buy one, then it's probably better that you buy the one with 5 games in it, but it is your money so invest it as you please.
There is a dating theme to this sale as you can see in the pictures below but the main character in Murdered (Ronan), a big part of who he was, was the fact his wife died and he never stopped loving her and only her; so having a dating profile made for him is in bad taste – especially since he's only just died.

9 reasons to love YMP
1. Join a smarter world
Empowering young people to build a smarter, more sustainable, world through new tools and networks.
The Young Masters Programme on Sustainable Development (YMP) is a global web-based education and learning network. It offers a unique learning experience by connecting youth and building understanding and cooperation about sustainability issues. The challenges of building a smarter and more sustainable world are pressing and urgent. The youth of today are the future of tomorrow and therefore need to be informed and educated with tools to tackle the challenges we face globally. YMP does this through a fun, practical on-line course for high school students. The course material is divided into missions. Each mission takes about a week to complete and requires 3-5 hours of work. The whole course normally takes about 20 weeks. Download a course overview.
2. It's free sustainability education
Free and it always will be, for schools, teachers, and 16-18 year old students around the world.
You don't have to pay to take part in the YMP because we want everyone to have the chance to build a smarter and more sustainable world. So far, more than 20 000 students from over 110 countries have participated in the YMP and it's growing!
3. Get a diploma
Students and teachers receive a YMP diploma upon course completion.
This means you have something to show for all your hard work! An accredited diploma issued by the YMP gives legitimacy and thanks for completing the course. Participants will see the diploma develop as they go through the course and will be able to print their personal diploma on completion. To achieve the highest grades, students need to complete a voluntary project work after the on-line course is finished.
4. Focus on solutions
YMP is developed by the IIIEE at Lund University, Sweden - a world-leading institute for sustainability solutions.
The YMP is a course focused on finding solutions to social, economic, and environmental challenges. Students gain tools and learn strategies to help them make necessary changes to tackle pressing sustainability issues in their own country. Close ties and collaboration with Lund University, and the international scientific community, ensure that the course content is reliable and unbiased. Further, the YMP is one of the main initiatives developed under the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Chair on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), which has been held by the IIIEE since 2006. As such, the YMP is an integral part of the UN Decade of ESD (DESD, 2005–2014) led by UNESCO.
5. Meet new people
Interact and collaborate in a global classroom with peer to peer learning, making friends worldwide.
Teachers and students from around the world are brought together in virtual classrooms. In these global classrooms they compare and discuss results of the completed tasks in each mission. They also receive and give feedback in a peer review system. By doing so, both students and teachers gain an understanding of common sustainability challenges and learn about the different local perspectives and solutions to those challenges, which exist around the world.
6. Learn globally – act locally
Mixing global on-line discussions and course materials with local off-line activities and discussions.
Students study missions related to global sustainability issues. Every mission consists of on-line course material to teach the students about sustainable development using the most recent research and knowledge. At the end of each mission, students must complete different off-line activities made up of tasks. So, students get to leave the computer to complete activities related to the mission's topic in their local community. Every third mission is a "Feedback mission" where the student group must share the results of their assignments with their peers in the global classroom. A student group posts and shares an assignment. Then that student group will receive feedback on the assignment from another group and also it must give feedback to another group on that group's assignment.
7. Google translate ready
With the Google translate features, the YMP website can easily be translated from English into more than 50 languages!
The working language of the YMP is English and to make it easier, there are also built-in glossaries so that you can learn and keep track of more technical terms.
By using the free Google Chrome web browser and Google translate you can translate the YMP website into over 50 different languages. Just follow the below steps:
Step 1: Download and install the Google Chrome web browser
Step 2: Use the translation toolbar in Google Chrome
Since the Google translations are generated by machines, not all translation will be perfect. It is meant to be used as a support function when reading the text. All assignments and communication in the YMP must be written in English so that everyone in the global classroom can take part of them.
More info about Google translate: http://translate.google.com/about/intl/en_ALL/
8. Start at any time
Join today and select your global classroom's preferred starting date.
There is no official intake or start time for the YMP. You simply join up whenever you like and indicate when you would prefer to begin the course. A classroom will start when there are 15-20 student groups available with approximately the same required start date.
You can register by clicking the join button on the homepage and follow the instructions. Teachers can prepare by forming student groups of 3 to 5 members. Students can prepare by inviting a teacher at their school, who can guide them through the course. Teacher guides are extra documents that are available to assist teachers throughout the YMP curriculum. Each mission has a teacher guide with additional tips, information, and links to read more about the mission and its tasks.
9.It's fun and engaging
An innovative web design that combines the latest e-learning and social network platforms to make sustainability fun!
The YMP is designed to be challenging, with students working through missions and completing tasks, receiving credits along the way. There are ways to earn awards and extra credit once the students start playing. The interactive platform is designed to network and help students to meet other students around the world to hear their stories and perspectives. There's a message and story board built in so it is easy to communicate once you are in the global classroom.

Some cities have pipes above ground,
some cities have pipes below.
All cities have processes.
Networks embedded within the landscapes we live in provide insight into urban areas. Thirteen drawings of water and waste systems (eight in Indian villages and five in American cities and suburbs) illustrated not only the similarities and differences found in these networks, but also the physical processes which shape our lived environments. Together, the NFLC participants discussed each and every drawing, first in Tamil and then in English. The student drawn systems displayed a number of differences in both how water was collected and how it was distributed. Though not as evident in the drawings, our discussions revealed the most notable difference between the flows of water in India and the States. The network of pipes and drains running through our colleagues' villages in India are above ground, a visible infrastructure which contributes to their image and knowledge base of their environment. The US has an extended network for water and waste below the surface of the earth, creating a concealed city of utilities. We faced our own ignorance in this exercise, realizing the extent to which we have become accustomed to a network of unobserved utilities. These basic utilities that we so often take for granted are an integral aspect of our everyday lives.
As a class we analyzed the similarities and differences in each drawing not only to cross the boundaries that separate us but also to better understand the processes which shape our lived environments. We learned how spatial collectives of concrete things and the processes, both human and physical, create each other and what we try and define as a city.
We touched upon the concept of desakota to understand urban clustering and settlements located between major cities. We looked at maps with urban settlements sprawled across, as southern India experiences significant small-city urbanization, both east to west from Chennai to Kozhikode, and along the Kerala coast. The pattern here is one among many across the globe illustrating the interactions between people, their m,ovement and urban economies developing under the influence of global and local forces.
After two days of class at Manda'arae we began to realize the paradox of administering cities as contained places despite the fact that they thrive and grow at a variety of scales. As an Urban Studies Major at Cornell, I have come to realize the irony of defining an urban area when trying to plan a city, an effort which expects established boundaries and processes. Sitting in a classroom in the small town of Kotagiri, Ihave begun to understand and internalize this dichotomy.

Throughout the years I have worked in higher education advancement, I have never felt the need for a strong business case for alumni relations more acutely than now. Universities have been getting a bad rap in the media, along with charities and fundraising practices in general. I'm also hearing more from colleagues that alumni are complaining their universities are only interested in them for their money.
Professor Janet Beer, President of Universities UK said at the Universities UK annual conference earlier this month that universities should connect more to their communities and be open and transparent about senior leadership pay. She said, "Let us today pledge to do more to explain, to engage, to fight back against negative and inaccurate commentary, and to win back the public's trust."
Professor Beer said that flaunting the benefits universities bring to society is the way to rectify the situation, along with educating the public. What's missing seems to be a call to build meaningful relationships with local communities, businesses, students and graduates. Who will listen to our positive narratives if we remain disconnected from our communities?
This attitude is similar to the trends I'm seeing in alumni relations and development in the UK. Our interactions all feel very one sided. Openness and transparency are key to building trust, but so is taking an interest in others.
There is great value in forming a large group of university advocates without linking this to 'what they can do for us' in the short term. I believe a lack of confidence in this value is behind a somewhat utilitarian (and mildly manipulative) approach to alumni relations where the focus is only on encouraging contribution, not on good alumni relations.
What happens when there is a weak business case for alumni relations
The prompt for this post was an article by Andrew Shaindlin, a US-Based educational advancement consultant with GG&A, called 'Integrating Alumni Relations and Development: The Coming Changes'. In the article, Andrew outlines the US trend of alumni associations being integrated with development teams and the increasingly close partnership between alumni relations and fundraising staff. Andrew attributes the move for greater integration in part to a desire for greater effectiveness or "proof of results from alumni communities". He said that "recent financial pressures and an increasingly business-like approach to advancement management (and higher education leadership in general) is pressuring alumni directors to quantify, measure, and report their contributions to institutional success. This in turn drives increased interest in metrics that show how alumni engagement affects other endeavours, such as giving."
In fairness to Andrew, he points out that the increased value of any such integrated arrangement would only be seen in the long term, however the reason he gives is the time required to demonstrate how alumni relations inputs (such as number of events) and trackable alumni behaviours (such as event attendance) correlate with measurable outcomes such as giving.
I am troubled by the idea that to become more strategic and 'business-like' alumni relations must prove how its activities correlate with giving and therefore use its resources in aid of this purpose. It doesn't have to be this way.
The disproportionate focus on 'giving' is damaging relationships with alumni
To evaluate alumni relations on an 'investment' to 'measurable alumni contributions' basis is fundamentally flawed because:
- It is demotivating and meaningless to evaluate the success of a function based on its contribution to long-term outcomes. We know from experience that well-informed, connected, satisfied and proud alumni have a greater likelihood of contributing; so why not measure alumni relations based on its ability to help alumni feel well-informed, connected, satisfied and proud? This is measurable in the short and medium term and far more meaningful for a function that mostly communicates, welcomes and supports.
- The valuable behaviours of satisfied alumni cannot all be measured by the university and a focus on measurable behaviours de-values those which can't. If you think of your alumni as brand ambassadors, there is no telling what good they are doing for your university around the dinner (or boardroom) table. Helping alumni to be successful and making sure they are happy with their ongoing university relationship is therefore important and valuable – even if they never volunteer or donate.
- Explicitly linking alumni activity to giving incentivises behaviour and communication that work to undermine the authenticity of alumni relations and erodes trust. This giving link will be visible to your alumni; alumni know when they are being marketed at. If you are wanting to make your alumni feel as though they are part of a family that values and supports them, the constant pressure to give sends the message that our care is conditional and transactional. This pushes alumni away who are not ready or able to give right now and the result is increasing opt-outs and distance which is counterproductive and ironically, hampers long-term, sustainable fundraising goals.
The real mission of alumni relations
The need to link alumni relations to giving outcomes is seductive, however I believe it comes from a misconception about the purpose of alumni relations and a reluctance to invest in strategies to measure this purpose.
If you want to know more about the mission of alumni relations, I recommend watching this superb video from the Graduway Global Leaders Summit in 2015 with Howard Wolf (Stanford University) and Christine Fairchild (University of Oxford). Howard posits that the alumni relations function is like 'corporate brand marketing' in the private sector, using Apple as an example. I couldn't agree more. The goal is to help alumni identify positively with the university and cultivate a desire to be part of it – but not promote any specific 'product', such as volunteering or making a donation.
If the corporate brand marketing analogy doesn't sway you, what about how universities have a moral obligation to fulfil their graduates' need to feel connected and supported by their alma mater (or their 'nourishing mother' as Howard reminds us). Christine also describes the university as a place where alumni come to be re-energised, redirected and supported. I think of it slightly differently again – that a university experience is more like a life event, and we are stewards of the memories of these formative years and the special relationship that many alumni have with their university.
In any case, alumni self-stated feelings of connection and pride, and their satisfaction with the support they receive from their alma mater are able to be measured. But instead, many universities disappear down the rabbit hole of measuring inputs, encouraging certain behaviours (without regard to the feelings and attitudes that influence the behaviour) or measuring only the connection between alumni relations and giving outcomes.
What holds us back
The current trend towards greater integration between alumni relations and development certainly plays a part. As long as the head of alumni relations reports to the head of development, the purpose of alumni relations will be to primarily serve the philanthropic agenda. This often means that the only metrics worth tracking are those directly related to giving.
I'm all for alumni relations becoming more 'business-like' but to me that means each institution agreeing metrics that relate to the real work of alumni relations. By that I mean measuring the attractiveness of the alumni offer, the quality of the services and benefits provided, the ability for the suite of communications and events to foster feelings of pride and connectedness, and lastly, the volumes of alumni participating.
I look forward to the day when alumni relations acts as the conscience of development, rather than the servant. A 'maniacal' focus (as Howard so accurately put it) on return on investment in monetary terms may be the undoing not only of alumni relations, but eventually alumni fundraising. That deserves some contemplation and debate, don't you think?
To give our future selves the best chance of success, we should reject the prevailing inward looking, self-promoting and transactional stance and instead think about what we can do for those who live near us, work on our campuses and graduate from our programmes. For universities already practicing relationship fundraising this should come as second nature, for those that aren't, prepare for a bumpy road ahead.

I've come out of the midst of primer, paint, and dust from the beginning of our room update to share some thoughts on renovations.
But not the DIY kind…the God kind.
I believe that God loves us, provides for us, and offers us the ultimate gift of freedom from sin by the sacrifice He made as Jesus on the cross. Accepting His sacrifice has truly bern the ultimate renovation for my soul. My heart has a peace that overrides everything else…even when I'm stressed or focused on my circumstances.
If anyone ties to tell you that believing in God "enough" will give you a life free of suffering, know that it's untrue. If we only need the faith of a mustard seed to move a mountain, then God's love is not dependent on our "enough-ness."
We don't need to be smart enough, pretty enough, patient enough, rich enough, poor enough, or anything-enough for God to work in our lives.
God's Word says we will face trials, not if.
So sometimes it may feel like everything is going wrong. It may feel like you are very far from God's reach.
It can feel like your is going through a renovation but the Architect forgot to get your approval for the plans.
It can be hard to live in the difficulty. I believe God uses all our circumstances to grow us and prepare us for future ministry. Your ministry may be leading worship or it may be encouraging friends during playgroup.
No matter where you are in the building process, build with strength by reading God's Word, build with love by continuing to give, and build wisely by preparing for what comes next.Pin It

Stanley, Leydon-Mahoney lead after semis of diving nationals
Toby Stanley and 16-year-old Gracia Leydon-Mahoney led their divisions Thursday after the semifinal rounds in the U.S. national diving championships.
Stanley, from Conway, Ark., finished with 481.35 points in the men's 10-meter platform to top the 12 qualifiers for Sunday's finals. Stanley, who also led after Thursday's preliminaries, had four dives of 80 points or better. That included the semifinal's best single dive, a 94.35 on a forward 4 1/2 somersault tuck.
"I didn't do too hot at the Olympic trials (finishing ninth), and that really bothered me," Stanley said. "I had been training a lot, but I've changed my approach since then. I've literally doubled my training - eight hours a day, 48 hours a week. It's a full-time job, but it's paying off."
Steele Johnson of Carmel, Ind., was second at 440.10, and Logan Shinholser of Burtonsville, Md., was third at 429.35.
Leydon-Mahoney, from Durham, N.C., had 312.10 points to top the women's 3-meter springboard semifinals, with the top 12 advancing to Sunday's finals. Samantha Pickens of Tucson, Ariz., was second at 304.30 points. Cheyenne Cousineau of Temperance, Mich., finished third at 288.80 points.
Leydon-Mahoney, who finished third in the event at the U.S. junior nationals last week, also had the semifinal round's best dive, scoring 71.40 points on a back 2 1/2 somersault tuck. She closed out with two more dives scoring 60 or more points.
"My first two dives weren't bad, but I was trying to put a little something extra on it," said Leydon-Mahoney, who was third after Thursday morning's preliminary round. "I was still happy with them. But the third dive, that's one of my best dives. All the other divers are good divers, so it's going to come down to whoever shows up and competes well that day."

The action-packed brand of high-stakes robbery delivered by Overkill Software's Payday: The Heist might just be pulling off its next job in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
Early this morning, an official statement from Overkill game director Ulf Andersson revealed that the Swedish development team will be working on an "in-depth collaboration" with Valve:
"As perceptive gamers will have noticed, several hints have recently been dropped into PAYDAY The Heist, which has led to various rumors. We are excited to be able to confirm that an in-depth collaboration between OVERKILL and Valve is currently in production.
We are working on a very cool blend of PAYDAY and Left 4 Dead. I am sure it is so exciting that it will have some players check into the hospital before we are done."
It was recently announced that dev studio Starbreeze—makers of this year's Syndicate reboot and the Chronicles of Riddick games—would be acquiring Overkill in a bid to grow their intellectual property portfolio.
Originally a PlayStation Network exclusive, Payday is also now available on Steam. Payday debuted on the PlayStation Network and then became available on Steam soon thereafter. No word on when we might expect to see the first look at a Payday/L4D crossover but zombies vs. Bank Thieves… that could actually be fun.
