T. Guevara: This is a great and very profound book. Every time I read a book, I look for something new, something that will capture my interest and keep on reading, this book has that ability. I thought at first, tell me something I don't know yet, but as I was reading, I was amazed at confirmation of what I knew before about life and has forgotten as time passes by. It was a reminder of my life and my struggles as I was building my work experience. It brought reminiscence of my drive to succeed, and how I mindfully orchestrate the path that I layed bricks on. I just kept on reading and it ignites the drive to do better because the laying of bricks do not stop and the direction changes. You just need the elastic mind to recognize the flow and move with it.

text: TalonRider 2 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Pre-meal blood sugar values most informative:study NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - For people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, pre-meal blood glucose (sugar) levels are generally more closely associated with long-term blood sugar levels than post-meal blood sugar levels, according to a study reported at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes annual conference in Rome. Before-meal glucose values have a larger impact on hemoglobin A1C -- a standard indicator of blood sugar control -- "presumably because they resemble the 24-hour, and thus the long-term, glucose levels more closely," Dr. Rikke Borg from the Steno Diabetes Center, Gentofte, Denmark, told the conference. Borg and colleagues used intensive blood sugar monitoring data to figure out which self-monitoring, meal-related blood glucose values of the day provide the best prediction of average blood sugar. Blood glucose measurements were obtained pre- and post-meal for approximately 10 full days during 3 months for each of 273 type 1 diabetics and 168 type 2 diabetics, yielding an average of 66 meal-related blood glucose measurements per study subject. In general, the combined pre-meal blood sugar values predicted hemoglobin A1C and therefore long-term blood sugar levels, better than combined post-meal values for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and particularly for type 2 diabetes, Borg and colleagues found. For type 1 diabetes, pre-breakfast, pre-lunch, and post-lunch values predicted A1C the best, and for type 2 diabetes (both non-insulin- and insulin-treated), the pre-breakfast and post-lunch, and pre-dinner values provided the best prediction. "These findings provide insight for the patient and clinician who seek the optimal blood glucose monitoring at minimal expense and discomfort," Borg and colleagues conclude in their meeting abstract. © 2008 Reuters Health.

The pinky finger was sprained and pointing backwards. Now Blake faced that modern American dilemma: Incur the expense of going to a hospital emergency room, or endure the pain?
He couldn't pop the pinky back into place, so Blake went to La Palma Intercommunity Hospital in Orange County, California.
"Big Mistake," Credit.com reader using the screen name "Blake" wrote in response to our story about medical billing myths.
An emergency room doctor took three X-rays, pulled the finger back into alignment, and took another three X-rays "to be sure everything is ok," Blake writes.
Everything was fine, except that now Blake is stuck with a bill for $1,936.
"This is insanity at its finest," writes Blake, who feels the doctor and hospital "treat people like personal piggy banks."
[Credit Score Tool: Get your free credit score and report card from Credit.com]
Now Blake feels he faces another choice: Pay a bill he believes is outrageous, or just ignore it. He knows that failing to pay the bill will wreck his credit score. On the other had, Blake is 22 years old, lives with his parents, and will be studying for his college degree for another three and a half years, during which time he won't have much use for credit anyway.
"(S)o I'm wondering is it even worth slaving away to pay off these absurd bills?" he writes.
Yes, it definitely is worth it, says Barry Paperno, Credit.com's credit scoring expert. The obvious reason why? "It's trashing his credit," Paperno says.
And that damage will last long after Blake has graduated. From what Blake says, it's unclear whether the bill already has gone to collections, or if it simply has been marked "delinquent" by the hospital. That's important because once the account is turned over to collections, his credit reports will show a collection account, which is very negative. Worse, it will be seven and a half years from the date the account first became delinquent before it drops from Blake's credit report.
[Related Article: Four Medical Bill Myths That Can Cost You Dearly]
And then there's the possibility that the collections agent sues Blake for payment. If that happens and Blake loses, the judgment against him becomes a separate negative hit on his credit, which itself will linger for another seven and a half years, Paperno explains.
Which means that Blake's sprained pinky could cost him damaged credit and higher interest payments for the better part of a decade.
"The point is he needs to resolve it," Paperno says. "He can't just ignore it because it will wreck his credit, and they won't go away."
Here are some steps that Blake, and others facing a similar dilemma, can follow to make the most of an admittedly bad situation.
1) Suck it up. We make the best decisions we can, Paperno says, and those sometimes those decisions come back to haunt us. The best thing we can do is accept the consequences and move on. "Life sucks sometimes," says Paperno.
2) Deal with it ASAP. From what Blake says, there's a chance that his hospital bill hasn't landed in collections yet. That means he still has bargaining power to get the bill reduced and avoid hurting his credit. He should call the hospital and the doctor's practice as soon as he can. "I would really impress on him the urgency" of the situation, Paperno says. "He should consider himself lucky that it's not on his credit report, and do anything he can to resolve it."
3) Get the Documents. The first thing Blake should do is request his medical records from the hospital and his doctor. Scanning the billing codes closely, he might turn up mistakes, says Gerri Detweiler, Credit.com's consumer finance expert.
4) Negotiate. With medical records in hand, Blake is in a better position to request a break. Since he's a student, maybe his income is low enough to qualify for programs by the hospital or his state's government that reduce medical bills. Or maybe he can get on a payment plan to avoid a lump-sum hit.
5) The Last Resort. Blake has a better chance of success if he deals with the bill before it goes to collections. But if he misses that cut-off, he may still be able to negotiate with the collections company. Before he pays them, he should offer to pay the bill only if they agree to remove the collections item from his credit report. This tactic may not work, Paperno says, but it's worth a try.

7 Day Fast–beginning January 3rd, 2016
"A Walk with Jesus from Matthew through Revelation"–Observations for Over-comers in 2016!
2016 Prayer and Fasting
This year's theme is simple: Invite Jesus to walk with you through each day of the coming year. Begin each day or set a time each day to read His Word and expect Him to open the Word to you. Pray that your heart would burn within with love and passion for His will and purpose. We want His presence and ministry in our daily reading and with us as we go out to minister in our homes, schools, businesses and community. We want to live as over-comers of the temptations of the world, flesh, and the devil!
During this time of corporate fasting, decide what you want to deny your flesh so that you can grow closer to the Lord and better understand His Word and plan for your life. Fasting normally involves food. In Daniel 10, we have a record of Daniel's 21 day fast. He chose not to eat any rich food, meat, or wine and not to put any oil on his body for three full weeks. This was not a total fast of food, but a partial fast. His purpose was to have a deeper understanding of a message and vision from the Lord. He wanted to be ready for what God would do next and be able to speak prophetically to his generation. God met him and He will do the same for us!
When you fast, Jesus taught that we should not draw attention to ourselves. (Matthew 6:16-18) We are humbling ourselves before the Lord. Drink plenty of liquids and check with your doctor if you have medical conditions that would hinder your ability to fast. If you would like to give up other things such as your cell phone, internet, newspapers, or television, this would also be helpful. Be sure and fill the time with wholesome activities that will help your spiritual progress.
Key Scriptures: Daniel 10:1-21, Isaiah 58, Matthew 4:1-11, 6:16-18, 1st John 4:4, 5:1-5
Pastor's Goals for 2016
1. Each person who can read would read through the New Testament from Matthew to Revelation. A reading schedule for each week is simply one chapter each day for five days out of each week.
2. Each person or family develop a personal or family time of prayer at least once a week in each home centered on this journey through Scripture.
3. Jesus walking with us through this year, opening the Word to us and causing our hearts to burn for Him and filling us with His Holy Spirit so that we might live in over-coming power over temptation and Satan's schemes.
4. We pray for a tangible presence of the Lord in each corporate service and small group in the church you regularly attend.
5. Healthy families and relationships with unity in the home and church and no divorce or separations in 2016.
6. Each person sharing their faith with direction from the Holy Spirit with family members and those God puts in our path. Intentional evangelism in obedience to the call of our Lord as in Matthew 28:18-20 or Mark 16:15-20.
Daily devotions will be provided on this theme for the entire year, the Lord willing, for each person or family that desires to trek through the New Testament in 2016

Litchfield Board of Education tables proposed budget talks
LITCHFIELD >> The Board of Education voted Wednesday to table the adoption of Superintendent Deborah Wheeler's proposed $16.6 million 2014-15 budget for further discussion later this month.
The $16,600,640 budget, which has not yet approved by the education board, represents an increase of $742,095, or 4.68 percent, over the 2013-14 spending plan of $15,858,545.
The proposal includes cuts on some extracurricular tutor stipends, the cut of the math program and maintain a pre-kindergarten position. During the discussion, some board members recommended to cut $45,000 in technology expenses and $22,000 in transportation funds from the spending plan, but an agreement could not be reached.
Wheeler said they don't have to present the budget to the Board of Finance until Mar. 24, before which another education board meeting will be held. Board member Gayle Carr suggested to leave the budget as it was.
"Lets leave the budget as it is and let the Board of Finance tell us where to go," Carr said.
Board member John Bongiorno said even parents were not happy with the big number.
"Parents think the budget is too high, while normally they want to spend more money," Bongiorno said, "There are things that can wait and don't need to happen this year."
While the gridlocked budget discussion is to be continued, the board voted to approve pushing forward the agenda of the consolidation of Litchfield schools and Region 6. They will send First Selectman Leo Paul a letter asking him to start a conversation with selectmen from Warren, Goshen, Morris to see where they stand on the matter.
Based on a study done by Education Connection, a regional service center, about the cost saving efficiency of two school districts merging, Wheeler said, the combination would widen their available space. She said she is committed to that process, and that she often gets questions from parents regarding the combination.
"If we merge the two school districts, we can structure it anyway we'd like to," Wheeler said.
It would take years to merge the two school districts, the board said, and right now they are just trying to get the ball rolling.

19 Oscars Gate, Oslo, 0352
Our second Oslo signature store, created in partnership with integrated design and architecture practice Snøhetta, is situated on the ground floor of a functionalist 1940s apartment building.
The space draws inspiration from original details and materiality, imagining them anew. A contemporary geometric motif, for example, is interpreted from existing timber detailing on the host building's exterior; inside, it takes the form of a meticulously crafted Oak panel with a truncated pyramidal form.
These modulated panels clad wall and counter volumes, with those installed above product shelves featuring integrated lighting fixtures. The same blond Oak furnishes ceiling plane, built-in shelving and a perforated dividing wall that reveals glimpses of light from a concealed stairway leading to the basement level.
'The spectacles of experience; through them you will see clearly a second time.'

Deciding on the size of the skip bin is never an easy task, regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert in skip hire.
Some skip companies, aside from waste disposal equipment offer dump truck's, labor, forklifts, cleaning, and waste removal services. You can navigate to online resources and find out more information about domestic skip & bin services
You are able to lease a skip bin for many functions since they are an affordable and flexible way to waste elimination – on work websites, events or in the home.
Roll on/roll off clogs can be employed in areas where there's a requirement of bigger skips which may handle a lot of waste material and may perform appropriate waste management in larger regions. It's very important to wash up the chimneys of their fireplace to be certain they're free of creosote which builds upon the inner walls of the chimney and can make a fire.
Whether you're in the center of a spring clean, DIY job or proceeding, a skip hire business may be of fantastic assistance. Significant home jobs create a good deal of debris and garbage that could include things like tiles, old timber, concrete, pipes, nails, screws and a whole lot more.
Many companies provide "load and wait" services, meaning they provide the jump to your doorstep, so the driver waits for one to load your crap so he can eliminate it. This is a superb alternative occasionally when you will need to eliminate the debris extremely fast and don't require the jump to remain in your place for quite a while.

The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of the Bible
The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of the Bible
For the past two decades, my primary publishing task has been the editing of the Qumran biblical scrolls. The present volume contains a series of essays articulating the lessons I have learned along the way. I was invited by friends and colleagues to write each of them for various conferences and collections, mostly honoring leading figures in the textual study of the Bible.
The essays form a unified picture, each focusing on and attempting to develop particular aspects of the history of the biblical text. They deal first with the Hebrew texts and then with the Greek and Old Latin texts, which help us understand the development of the Hebrew texts. The order of the essays on the Hebrew text moves from the more general to the more specific in scope, although Chapters 3-6 progress in chronological order, following the development of my thought concerning multiple variant editions of the books of Scripture.
The essays on the Greek text follow the ancient chronological progression from the Septuagint as it appears at Qumran, through Josephus's use of it, its transmission up to Origen, and finally the Hexapla. The Old Latin articles are out of print or virtually inaccessible, and since there is so little research on this highly valuable version, it seemed good to include them here.
I have over the past two decades considered it an academic and collegial obligation — something approaching a vocation — to produce the critical editions of the Qumran biblical scrolls as expeditiously and responsibly as possible. As is evident from my work on 4QSam and 4QSam , there is a great deal more that can and should be done on each of the scrolls beyond what routinely appears in the editions in Discoveries in the Judaean Desert. But for the full collection of the biblical scrolls to be edited within a reasonable period, the task . . .

Not everyone is lucky enough to fall into a deep sleep, such as sleeping through roaring thunderstorms. Some people wake up at the drop of a hat, or the sound of snoring.
Light snorers usually just bother the people they share the bed with, but snoring due to obstructive sleep apnea affects both partners. There are three "Do's" you must follow to properly deal with sleep apnea and snoring. Manhattan residents, check these recommendations out!
Do Talk to Your Doctor About Treatment Options
Don't sleep on it (not like sleep apnea will let you). Seek treatment as soon as possible. An expert opinion is what you need, and we can provide the right consultation and a number of treatment options for you to try out.
Do Find Out the Underlying Cause of Sleep Apnea and Snoring in Manhattan
Treatment can start once you and the doctor understand what is the underlying cause of the sleep apnea. The fact is that the cause of sleep apnea differs for each patient. There are several causes of sleep apnea, and you have a higher risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea if you are:
- Male
- A smoker
- Over the age of 60
- Related to a sleep apnea sufferer
- Overweight
Do Your Research
The more you know about sleep apnea and snoring, the more aware you are of the seriousness of it. Sleep apnea isn't something to snore at. Having your sleep disturbed on nightly basis can deprive you of hours of needed sleep.
And sleep deprivation has been known to cause accidents at work, home and on the road.
What other pressing concerns do you have for us? Please call our Manhattan ENT office to speak to one of our staff.

We Know Exactly What He Wants For Valentine's Day!
What do you get the man who has everything for Valentine's Day? That's a legitimate question that hopefully isn't keeping you up at night as Feburary 14th is rapidly approaching. Yes, we agree, he has it easier when it comes to consulting Cupid regarding a special gift for you. Men always seem to rely on the tried and true chocolates and flowers, letting them off the hook easily, but chances are he wouldn't appreciate a dozen roses or an assortment of candies. If you could only give him something truly unique that he would really enjoy, like maybe…
Get Your Husband A New Propane Grill This Valentine's Day!
"That's your great idea? A new propane grill for Valentine's Day?" Yep! Trust us, he will totally love it—and here's why!
Investing In A New Propane Grill Can Be Cheaper Than An Expensive Dinner!
Letting your husband or boyfriend decide where you will go for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner will most likely lead to a four star steakhouse. If you're treating him, be prepared to pay some serious money for that T-bone! Wouldn't you rather give him the opportunity to cook a steak on a new propane grill for years to come? Ah, yes, a propane grill is the gift that keeps on giving!
A Stylish New Propane Grill Or The Latest Action Blockbuster?
Ask yourself, do you really want to sit through "The Expendable Terminator Barbarian #8: Back In Black"? Yes, it may not be the best decision to offer a night out at the local cinema; he won't watch a "chick flick" and you like your hearing just the way it is. But a new propane grill—everybody wins!
Propane Grill: A Big Boy's Toy!
Does he really need another video game, three-wheeler, golf club or fishing rod? A new propane grill is a sophisticated toy that will actually get plenty of use. Oh, and if you were thinking about getting him a nice "outfit", don't. His taste in clothing is most likely nothing like yours!
A New Propane Grill Means Less Cooking For You!
Have you ever asked your significant other to prepare a meal? Unless cooking is one of his hobbies, chances are very good he will view your request as a chore. Ask him to fire up some burgers on the grill, however, and watch as he becomes a grilling master! The more he grills, the less you have to cook!
ThompsonGas is here to help you select the best propane grill for your guy! Visit our retail website and then call 301.432.6611. We'll be happy to answer all your questions and set you up with a Valentine's Day gift he will never forget!

Dr. Richard Cuenca's Friday Letter: Purim 2017
Dear Posnack School Community:
For many of us the world feels a little different now. Reports of hate crimes, desecration of Jewish cemeteries, proliferation of anti-Semitic graffiti, and bomb threats to Jewish Schools and Community Centers has shaken our world. It is uncomfortable and unsettling.
As parents, we want to shield our children from these images and messages even though it is all around them. Our first inclination is to insulate our children from the realities of the outside world. We want to protect them from the visceral expressions of hate. They are so young. Over time that initial inclination gives way to the realization that as parents we can only shield our children for so long. Our children are asked to grow beyond their years and as parents we have no choice but to try and find the right words to at least explain what is happening.
Last week following the first threat, I shared with you my experience of being surrounded by sounds from my two radios, sirens blaring from law enforcement vehicles, and the buzz of two helicopters hovering above. Through it all, there was a beautiful moment where time seemed to stand still and the essence of our Posnack School family was revealed. From feelings of anxiousness, uncertainty, and nervousness emerged a sense of comfort, resolve, and perseverance. Our school is strong and our children even at a young age demonstrated remarkable courage, caring for one another, and resolve.
Once again this week, our Posnack School community was called upon to be strong and care for each other. Students, faculty, staff, and parents all came together and thwarted any attempt to break our resolve and commitment to each other and our mission.
Thank you to all our parents for your unwavering support and for believing in a Jewish day school for your children even when there are reasons to turn away. I promise you that our school will never allow the forces of evil to shatter our resolve. Together, our Posnack School family represents a formidable bond linking generation to generation and nothing will inhibit its strength.
As Purim approaches and we celebrate together the joy of the holiday, I want to share a remarkable story of hope and optimism.
Towards the end of last week, my office started receiving letters- lots of them! The letters were handwritten and more and more arrived each day. The letters came from Berkeley, California; Portland, Oregon; Vermont, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Charlotte, Ohio, and others. The letters were sent by people I did not know. They were from strangers who probably had never even heard of the Posnack School before two weeks ago.
This is a sample of what some of the letters said:
To the good people at the Posnack School:
I send love and solidarity from Berkeley, CA. I want you to know that I am glad that you are there and I was so saddened to hear that you were threatened. As a member of a church in San Francisco, I know that our faith communities are beacons of light in these dark times, so please keep shinning bright!
– With love, Lizzie
Dear Posnack Jewish School:
I am so sorry to hear that your school was one of those targeted by a bomb threat. Everyone deserves peace and security, and I am so sorry you have to deal with this scary, hateful threat. I wish peace to your school community.
– From Samantha, a non-Jew in Portland, Oregon
Dear Posnack School Students, Teachers, and Staff:
Together, we can triumph over hate. Stay strong and never let them win.
– With love from Vermont, Sarah
Dear Posnack School:
I write to you today to extend my hand in solidarity and support. Having been raised in a Catholic household I know little of the Jewish faith. But I do know that I have known Jewish people in my life who are just as kind and loving as those of any other faith. I honestly don't understand the anti-Semitism in our world as I have never heard of Jewish people doing anything bad my entire life. You deserve freedom and justice.
I hope and pray for such peace for your school and all other Americans. I don't know that there is a lot that I can do, however, I will help in any way I can.
Michael – from Chicago
Our Posnack School family calls Davie, Florida home, but these letters remind us that even during the difficult times our school's unwavering resolve and commitment to a mission imbued with Jewish values reaches far beyond the boundaries of our campus.
Have a joyous and meaningful Purim!
Shabbat Shalom & Chag Purim Sameach,
Dr. Richard Cuenca
Head of School
PS – See you at our school's Purim Carnival.

Educators & 4-H Friends,
Welcome to the Clover Adventures Youth Development program. Clover Adventures is an early childhood education program designed to foster growth and development of youth between the ages of 5 and 8 years.
The Clover Adventures program is organized into 12 lessons to be taught individually or in a group. Each lesson offers a variety of educational activities for the youth to expand their knowledge about their community and 4-H. The lessons are easily adapted for monthly clover meetings and can be used for a period of three years with the same group of clovers. The educator may select a different group of suggested activities each year so that returning youth will have a different experience than the prior year, and still learn valuable information from the lesson.
Included in the resource are online resources and links which may be valuable to you as an educator when preparing your activities. The links include curricula and websites, which support the lessons adapted from Project Learning Tree, Junior Master Gardeners, and State Clover Curriculums.
I hope you find the program and resources useful in your program and classroom. The possibilities are endless, and there is a GREAT Clover Adventure awaiting you!!!

The CBBC classical music initiative "Ten Pieces" started in the autumn term of 2014 and aims to inspire a generation of primary children to get creative with classical music.
With a week of free cinema screenings for primary schools across the country, the project culminates in two Ten Pieces Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in July 2015.
So successful has "Ten Pieces" been in the primary schools that a new project, "Ten Pieces Secondary", begins in October 2015 aimed at secondary schools.
Dr M's "Ten Plants" Project
Dr M's recent experience of Fascination of Plants Day at University of Reading set him thinking: surely it is high time for a "Ten Plants" project?
Fascination of Plants day found dozens of local school children visiting the University of Reading campus and, under the supervision of Dr M, Professor Tomato and Dr Macarena, they were fascinated by plant fossils, Conifer trees, Monkey Puzzles and other awesome, epic and legend plants (to use the their words!).
So, let's launch a "Ten Plants" project! Ten plants chosen for their innate fascination and charisma to enthuse a young generation of botanists!
Now there's an eXtreme botanical plan!
The Monkey Puzzle tree proved an inspired choice for Fascination of Plants Day at Reading, a strikingly fascinating plant and its story was more than up to the task of fascinating the young children who attended the event.
So the Monkey Puzzle is a definate #1 in Dr M's "Ten Plants" project, but what about the remaining nine?
Dr M says: Over to you! Get in touch with your choice of plants to fascinate and inspire a younger generation of botanists! Send in your ideas together with some thoughts on how your chosen plant(s) might be fit for this task.
Dr M's Twitter challenge: Get the word out, tell your friends, get on social media, use the hashtag #tenplants and let's create our own eXtreme botanical Twitterstorm!
Later in the summer Dr M: Will select ten plants from all the suggestions and hand craft a YouTube video to launch this botanical venture for the love, joy and fascination of plants!
And what about Ten Plants Secondary? Urgently needed for sure, despite valiant efforts from initiatives like Science and Plants for Schools there is never enough botany and never enough plants in the secondary curriculum and Dr M says "Ten Plants Secondary" must happen, but first things first!

'A sportsman, a gentleman, a friend'
Stewart was admired by golfers all over the world
The world of golf has united to pay tribute to US Open champion Payne Stewart, killed in a aeroplane crash in South Dakota.
Ben Crenshaw, captain of this year's American Ryder Cup team, said: "All of us in golf have lost a great friend.
"Payne Stewart was a great competitor. He made friends very easily and was a very personable man, a family man, and a great, great champion.
"At the beginning of the year he had one goal in mind and that was to win a Major, and that is tough to do when you are 42. But he did it.
"He had a swing that would have lasted a long, long time."
An emotional Jose Maria Olazabal, who as Masters champion was due to play Stewart in the Grand Slam of Golf next month, said: "I have no words to express how I feel right now.
"I played with Payne quite a few times and I always enjoyed his company.
"A true sportsman on the course and a gentleman off it, he never failed to conduct himself in the true manner."
Precious loss
Stewart was a member of the American team that narrowly beat Europe in last month's Ryder Cup.
"We all knew what the Ryder Cup meant to him, but he never lost perspective on what the match was all about," added Olazabal.
"He said that winning the Cup back last month completed his year. We have lost a precious man."
Open runner-up Jean Van de Velde said: "I'm devastated, totally devastated.
"It certainly puts into perspective little things like missed putts. My thoughts go to his family because he was such a family man. He was a wonderful sportsman and wonderful person."
"Every time you saw him he seemed happy and joyful and he was a man of many talents."
Ken Schofield, executive director of the European PGA Tour, said: "Tonight golf is a sad family. He was the reigning US Open champion and that's says it all. Whether he was playing in the Ryder Cup in Brookline or at The Belfry, he stood for golf's sporting values."
The US PGA Tour said in a statement that Stewart was a "very special competitor" who would be a "tremendous loss".
The statement said: "It is difficult to express our sense of shock and sadness over the death of Payne Stewart.
"This is a tremendous loss for the entire golfing community and all sports.
"Payne was a great champion, a gentleman and devoted husband and father.
"He will always be remembered as a very special competitor and one who contributed enormously to the positive image of professional golf."
Stewart was a role model for many young players, including leading English amateur Zane Scotland.
Father figure
He was offered words of advice during the Open at Carnoustie in July when at 16 he became of the youngest competitors to appear in the championship.
Zane's first recollection of Stewart was at the Belfry during the Ryder Cup, when he was 10.
"He was trying to get Payne's autograph on his cap," said Zane's father Bernie.
"Payne had walked on but turned back to sign it. I said to Zane that he should follow Payne's example in that you had nothing to lose by being nice to people.
"This year at Carnoustie we managed to arrange a small meeting at which Payne gave some good advice to Zane.
"I have nothing but admiration for him, not only as a golfer but as a man. He was a true champion."

Almost everyone is familiar with Microsoft Windows, as it is installed on the computers of many home-based users. While it is certainly the most popular, Windows isn't the only operating system available. There are several other choices, including Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux.
The Linux operating system comes in many different variations. Some of the most popular versions include Debian, Fedora and Redhat among others. Just like any other operating system, Linux comes with a number of device drivers. This means that there may be a time when hardware devices on your computer stop working properly and require driver updates. Although a device could experience problems for various reasons, an outdated or dysfunctional driver is usually the culprit.
Where to Begin Updating Linux Device Drivers
In order to update the drivers for your Linux hardware, you must find out what type of device it is. Once you have these details, go online and head to the manufacturer's website. Although mainly used in the network setting, Linux is becoming more popular as a desktop system, making it easier to find device drivers. Most hardware device manufacturers allow you to download device drivers from the support section of their websites. Regardless of the manufacturer, it is important to download drivers that are specific to the Linux operating system. If you download and install Windows drivers, your hardware will not work on your Linux system.
Because Linux is an open-source system, many of its device drivers are available in open-source variations. The open-source nature allows any developer to create device drivers and freely distribute them. These drivers can typically be downloaded from various open-source communities online. With proprietary software and hardware components, you are required to download the device drivers from the manufacturer.
How to Install Linux Device Drivers
Device drivers for the Linux operating system are usually distributed as source code in zip archives. This calls for you to unzip the compressed archive to access the appropriate files. In order to accomplish this, you must use a compatible unzip application and manually compile the source code. While Linux is generally more complex, this task can be easily completed by basic computer users.
Ensuring Compatibility Before a New Purchase
If you plan to add a new hardware device to your Linux computer, it is important to make sure it is compatible with the operating system before making a purchase. This can be done in two ways: you can either check with the manufacturer or visit the KeyLabs website. KeyLabs is an organization that tests numerous applications and devices to determine their compatibility with various systems, Linux included. This company has tested so many hardware devices that gathering information from KeyLabs is often easier than getting it from the manufacturer's website.
Even though Linux is becoming more accepted as a desktop system, finding the right device drivers can still be a tedious undertaking. This is especially true if you are trying to integrate hardware devices that were previously used on an older Linux system. As you would expect, the process is much easier when dealing with new hardware devices, as they typically come included with installation discs that contain the appropriate drivers.

At last, the Artist had finished laboring. He took a step back and surveyed His work. Completely satisfied, He said, "It is very good," then He rested for a day (Gen. 1:31-2:2). Within this masterpiece are many smaller works – each one a masterpiece in its own right. I am one of those privileged to observe some of these every day, as the Artist
continually touches-up and cares for them. Some of my favorites are "Water," "Flora and Fauna," "Sky,"
"Chemistry," and "Music." "Chemistry" is the medium that the Artist uses to mold his masterpiece. Within "Chemistry," I consider Elements, which struggle together as small teams cooperating and building upon each other to construct the entirety of the vast masterpiece, as the Artist directs (1 Cor. 12:12-31). I also observe Fire, which He uses to refine various parts of His masterpiece – eradicating great stains and smears through much toil and patience, as well as strengthening the mold (1 Pet. 1:6-7).
"Flora and Fauna" illustrates the delicacy of the masterpiece. From this we can see how such art owes its existence to its Creator and to the Person who preserves it and cares for it. It is a beautiful creation – filled with untold complexity and variety that give us just a taste of how intelligent and wise the Maker of this masterpiece must be (Rom. 11:33-36). Moreover; through examining the intricacies of the relationships between "Flora and Fauna" set pieces, we discover amazing jewels like care and protection (Matt. 6:25-34).
"Sky" makes use of the Artist's full palette of colors, patterns, and lighting. The dominant feature – Weather – is a constantly changing canvas. Weather portrays, at times, immense power. At other times it portrays peace, or anything else in-between (Mark 4:35-41). Another feature is Sunrise, sometimes called Sunset. Sunrise is a live exhibition portraying the Artist's emotions in color. This fascinating display of emotion continually changes as each moment passes. But even when it disappears from view, it's still there – bleeding, growing, mourning, smiling. Though many parts of the masterpiece fade away after a time, Sunrise never ceases to be. It is at the Beginning and, as Sunset, it is at the End of the masterpiece (Rev. 22:13).
"Water" is the shading technique that connects all of these masterpieces to each other in a pure hue. It sometimes acts as an eraser – cleansing and shaping the foundations for the masterpiece. At other times, it gives life to the masterpiece (John 3:5; 4:13-14): "Sky," "Chemistry," and especially "Flora and Fauna," could not be what they are without "Water", and wherever "Water" is not, there is instead a blemishing agent called Death.
"For the invisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seen by the creation of the world, being considered in his works, to the intent that they [men] should be without excuse:" (1599 Geneva Bible) (Brackets added for clarification, based on context)
Art is a way of expressing oneself. The Artist desired to express Himself – His personality – to His masterpiece. So through art, as well, we can see the personality of this master Artist displayed. Through music, we can see harmony – the idea of multiple parts working together as a whole – much like Elements. Through smithing and pottery, we can see His method of refining and strengthening through toil and pain – much like Fire. Through score composition and architecture, we can learn about the mathematics, complexities, and other such evidences of this Artist's intelligence – much like "Flora and Fauna." By studying colors, patterns, and lighting – as seen in "Sky," we can learn a great deal about sin and righteousness (1 John 1:5-10), and about human emotion, a gift bestowed by the Artist upon His portrait "The Likeness of His Image" (Gen. 1:26-27).
Even in the use of our cleaning materials when the work is done we can observe the pure, cleansing nature of the Artist – like that of "Water." We can observe how they may be used to both erase and create, to make the artwork exactly what the Artist wants (2 Cor. 5:21). Even more; we can observe how, without the proper cleansing Agent, the art may remain blemished or covered up, but never restored – much like those marked by sin, for Death. The Artist can only use the proper cleansing Agent to restore that precious gift of Life to His portrait and make it again, truly, "The Likeness of His Image" (John 14:6).

Randy Ullom, winemaster at Kendall-Jackson, is our guest in the studio with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country today. (This episode was originally recorded on October 19, 2016. There was no live show today Oct. 3, 2018, since Steve and Mike are traveling to Washington DC this week.)
Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger start by tasting a very nice Estero Gold cheese, courtesy of their friend Sharon Montgomery at Oliver's. Dan says this cheese is like a Manchego but he likes this one more for its nutty flavor.
Steve introduces the winemaster at Kendall-Jackson, Randy Ullom. First he asks Randy to describe how his career began. He talks about being a skier when he was young and so he went to Utah. He spent more time skiing than studying. He ended up in Chile for the northern summer, for skiing. He stayed for three years. While in Chile he saw the wine business there. He left Chile after the coup in the 1970s and worked in the wine business, for one year in Ohio, for five years in upstate New York and then in California in 1981. He became winemaster at KJ in 1997. Now he oversees the entire KJ portfolio, including about 20 winemakers on the team in three different tiers of specialists.
Dan says that when Randy was making wine at De Loach, he "met" Randy through the extraordinary wines he was making, which were unlike any one else's. He has a vision. He understands vineyards, when to pick and what varieties are doing what things in which vineyards. Randy sent Dan a pair of clippers, so they can go out into the vineyards and work the vines. Dan says that the KJ products are uniformly excellent and over-deliver for their usual retail price.
They have 2400 different lots per year, so they have to do a lot of tasting and grading. They put each individual varietal together, then they have their 5 tiers. They also manage the Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates & Gardens, where they serve fine food and grow vegetables in their own garden. Dan says it's fascinating to see how passionate they are about their gardens.
They are tasting a Pinot Blanc from Amity Vineyards in Oregon. It's a variety widely planted in Oregon, very little in California. They love wines from unusual grape varieties. Dan would call it a baby brother to Chardonnay. It's interesting with nice flavors and great minerality in the finish. They grow a lot of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Oregon but Dan thinks this Pinot Blanc is the best representative for Oregon vineyards.
They also brought a Chardonnay, from Santa Maria Valley, the Kendall-Jackson Estate appellation wine. They have vineyards on the Santa Maria Bench, which is an elevated portion of land. Dan says it's a difficult wine to make, with a great aromatic quality. The problem is, that if you serve these wines too cold, you never catch the character. It can't be 40 degrees, it has to be about 50-60. Randy Ullom mentions that it's basically room temperature, which is how they taste everything.

Our cabin and the surrounding property has been in use for Scouting in Saxapahaw since the mid 60's. As you can see, it is a very special place and is important to both the current Scouts and our alumni. To keep consistent with the purpose it was established for, we do not rent it to outside groups. We appreciate your understanding.
We do occasionally allow other Scouting units to use it. If you'd like to inquire about that then send our Scoutmaster a message using the contact link.

Summer is a time to get outside and enjoy the nice weather! This means trips to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts, long drives to the community lake or ocean. This can all add up and if you're like me, then you don't magically make more money this time of the year. Summer has so much to do that it seems to add a level of stress to the books.
I found a fun read on some activities the whole family will enjoy that WONT break the bank!
Make sure to get the full story here!
Frequent Local Parks
Take advantage of nearby parks and have a picnic, fly a kite, throw a frisbee or kick a soccer ball. If it's too hot for fitness fun, spread out a blanket in the shade of a big tree and play board games, read books or just chat with one another.
Visit Public Beaches
You may have to pay a small fee to enter the beach area, but if you pack a lunch, water and plenty of snacks, you can have a full day of fun in the water for very little money. Just make sure to bring the sunscreen!
Explore the Night Sky
Who says all the fun has to happen when the sun is up? On those really hot days when you can't bring yourself to be anywhere but in the air conditioning, you can take advantage of cooler nights.
A blanket, a telescope (if you have one) and a star chart can provide plenty of excitement. Add some snacks and you've got a stargazing party!
Go Geocaching
Don't feel like creating your own scavenger hunt but want a little adventure? Try geocaching, a fun family activity that doesn't cost a thing.
Grab your smartphone or GPS, load the family in the van (or set out on foot if there's a geocache close enough to you) and find some treasure!
That last one, geocaching is a favorite activity of mine! My wife and I love to do it, especially when we are somewhere new! It gets you outside to explore and you have a log of all the places you've been. Get gas at a random place in Alabama? Boom you can see it on your list! It's the most fun I've ever had for free (or even more fun than most things that cost money).
Make sure to enjoy summer and pass these ideas along!

We've heard it all before. Over and over for most of the last 40 years.
From politicians of both parties, cliches and nonsense on energy. Take the biggest cliche of all: U.S. energy independence. The candidates are all for it. Mitt Romney says he'll make us independent by 2020, conveniently at the end of his second term. President Barack Obama says the route to energy independence is an 'all-of-the-above' strategy and a 'doubling-down' on renewables, especially if, as Obama has argued at various times, we have 'Apollo' programs for new energy technologies.
These pronouncements are imprecise to the point of being meaningless.
Virtually any policy could be attached to the slogans, and their interminable restatement seems mainly an effort to produce a few uplifting sound bites on the evening news.
So Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, R-Wis., are for U.S. energy independence.
How original! This has been proposed by, well, just about every politician since Richard Nixon. He came up with the idea in 1973 (to be achieved by 1980). Romney's only innovation is an eight-year time frame and he has called for 'North American energy independence,' to include Canada and Mexico, both major energy exporters. Nixon wanted independence in seven years, but since Gerald Ford, the standard energy independence time frame has been 10 years. When Ford's aides first looked into the matter, they felt their first goal was to redefine 'independence' and their second was to redefine '10 years.'
The pained effort to define energy independence has been ongoing. In the 1970s Nixon's (and Gerald Ford's) Treasury Secretary William Simon thought energy independence meant having diversified sources of oil supply. By that definition we've been energy independent for about 25 years.
I have no idea what Romney means by it, especially since he seems to want us to only be independent of such countries as Venezuela (at least under Hugo Chavez) and of the Middle East.
Of course, the simplest definition is one Nixon first used: We would only use energy supplies produced in and by the U.S. This is possible; we could forbid imported energy supplies. Period.
It would also be almost unspeakably stupid. It would mean, for example, if world energy prices were low, we would forcibly lower our standard of living and put American firms at a great competitive disadvantage by choosing expensive energy over cheaper. No doubt other nations would send us a 'thank you.' Complete energy self-sufficiency was tried in Romania under the Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.
Ask any Romanian who lived through that time how well the experiment worked out; you won't get a recommendation.
A few politicians and pundits argue that our engagement in the global energy market does cost us. That is why we went to war, in 1991, most notably. But does anyone seriously believe the U.S. (the world's only military superpower) would just stand aside while the global economy fell to pieces because of a major disruption of the oil market?
Of course, Obama also touts energy independence on his campaign website along with a few new imprecise energy slogans.
'All-of-the-above,' for example, could mean 'anything-I-like-to the extent-I-like it.' 'Doubling-down' could mean spending twice as much money as we already have or just reinforcing some nebulous commitment with twice as much rhetoric, uttered twice as loudly.
Obama also has the burden of having spent billions of taxpayer dollars already on his fantasies of renewable energy 'Apollo' programs, programs that were supposed to create millions of 'green jobs.' Like energy independence, as studies have shown, it's unclear just what constitutes a green job.
What is really unfortunate about the president's policies is that he could actually do some good on the energy front by ordering the Environmental Protection Agency to suspend the pernicious Renewable Fuel Standard - a.k.a. the ethanol mandate. He could even blame George W. Bush since the 2007 ethanol bill was one Bush strongly endorsed.
Then again so did Sen. Barack Obama and many other Democrats in Congress.
Of course, that bill had a lofty goal beyond ethanol: As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described it, this was the U.S. 'energy independence day' bill.
And who opposes that? Peter Z. Grossman is a professor of economics at Butler University in Indianapolis and the author of 'U.S. Energy Policy and the Pursuit of Failure.'

You knew it would only be a few short months before it arrived, but here's the next generation iPad 2 from Apple. Daily Billboard just wonders how long before we'll be seeing billboards for the iPad 3.
Regardless of how quickly technology is moving, Apple really does know how to keep things simple and at the same time retain fantastic sleek design, including it seems in its billboard advertising.
This super-sized billboard along Sunset Boulevard really does make an impact with all those new smart covers popping with colour to catch your eye.
This large vibrant creative was snapped on March 22 and the standard billboard at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue on March 6, 2011.
Be sure to also check out the billboards for the first generation iPad here at Daily Billboard.
UPDATED: Here's a new white creative for the iPad 2, with a few colour cover changes, snapped in the same location along Sunset Boulevard on October 29, 2011.


text: Scientific Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Myxini Order: Myxiniformes Family: Myxinidae Genus: Eptatretus Species: stoutii (Pacific hagfish) Overview Pacific hagfish, like other hagfish, represent an ancient form of life that has remained virtually unchanged since the Paleozoic era 450 million years ago. It is a cartilaginous fish that lacks scales, paired fins, a stomach, and true jaws. It has rudimentary eyes (eye spots) that are only able to detect light, and relies on its keen sense of smell and touch to get around (using a single nostril and barbels, respectively). The hagfish's jawless mouth contains two parallel rows of pointed keratinous teeth, which are secured to rasping dental plates. The hagfish's body is cylindrical and elongated; it moves in a snake-like motion using its paddle-like tail. It has a row of "slime" glands on both sides of its body. When agitated, these glands produce a protein-based mucous that when combined with water makes a thick, viscous jelly-like slime. This slime serves as a defense mechanism that can be sloughed off by tying its body into a knot, and also by "sneezing" to clear the slime from its sinus cavities. This knot-tying motion is also used to escape predators, and during feeding. Considered a scavenger, the hagfish feeds mostly on dead and dying fish and marine mammals, thereby playing an important role in the ecosystem. Using its keen sense of smell, the hagfish will identify its food source and either burrow into its prey by making a hole with its rasping teeth, or entering through an existing opening to consume it from the inside out, usually only leaving skin and bones when it is done. Due to its slow metabolism, the hagfish may survive for up to seven months without eating. When other food sources are not available, it subsists on worms and other bottom fauna. The hagfish is preyed upon by some marine mammals and large invertebrates, but most stay away due to the risk of slime suffocation. Identification The Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) is eel-like, with 10 to 14 pores along its elongated body. It usually ranges in color from tan to brown or grey on the top and lighter on the bottom. It can be found at depths ranging from 60 to 3000 feet on mud substrate. Sampling of California commercial fishery landings has shown that the average Pacific hagfish measures between 12 and 18 inches in length. A mature Pacific hagfish female will produce between 20-30 eggs per reproductive cycle. There is no known reproductive season or cycle length for hagfish. Another hagfish species that may occur in California is the black hagfish (Eptatretus deani); it is found in deeper water, is darker in coloration (purplish black), and has a shorter head in proportion to the body.

I have a crazy passion for birth photography. Everything about it is so incredible. This particular birth session labored for over 16 hours. Due to bad weather, I arrived about
an hour before the baby girl decided to make her appearance. She waited for me! I typically stay for about two hours after delivery. Hands down, this is the best job ever.
This is amazingly beautiful work. The emotions are brough to life through these images!

Woody got a cartoon series of his own beginning in 1941 with the obvious film name of "Woody Woodpecker". A staple of the cartoons was to have Woody burst forth from the title card to deliver his trademark laugh.
Woody leaps out and directly into a song ("Knock on Wood") in which he delights in his craziness. Many a time I have caught myself quietly singing this to myself. The other woodland animals label him as insane and urge him to seek professional help.
Woody goes to a doctor, who in this case is played by a fox (who's office is only open for one minute a day). The doctor should have taken the whole day off if Woody is his patient.
Woody frustrates the doctor by trying to read the eye chart with his eyes closed and by vanishing, only to reappear at the door seconds later. This is just the beginning. Soon, Woody is careening around the office in a flurry of nuttiness, eventually being thrown right out of the movie screen and into the audience.
While the doctor on screen goes insane from his time with Woody, the woodpecker annoys the audience members until they slam his theater seat on him.
