Exciting Outreach in Berlin
Our team from Herrnhut spent four days ministering in Berlin with dear friends and two special congregations. They had invited us out of a hunger for deeper understanding of God's heart for the Jewish people and the role of both Israel and the Church. These days were so rich in fellowship, worship, and teaching. We were so blessed by their hospitality and so grateful for the new friendships that we made.
We also joined with our new friends in outreach to the homeless and ministry on the streets. I was overjoyed as a local Berlin Believer and I were able to lead a woman to faith during one outreach and see others touched by His love and truth. We also met two Turkish women who didn't speak English or German. I only know a few phrases in Turkish, but I was able to sing two worship songs that I learned in Turkish, and the women's eyes lit up as they communicated to us that they also believed in Isa (Jesus)! They were so blessed and we were able to pray healing and encouragement over them.
"Steh Auf! Nie wieder Judenhass!" Stand up! Never again Anti-Semitism/hatred of the Jews!
God always has more on offer than we realize. It was not until after our trip was planned that we learned that the last day fell on the same day as a massive demonstration rally at the Brandenburg Gate calling Germans to stand up against anti-Semitism.
For years, the Lord has been showing us the calling on Germany to rise up in blessing Israel, to be a leader for righteousness and God's purposes on the earth. We have seen many believers and congregations carry this growing revelation in their hearts, and we felt the historical impact on this day as both the governmental and spiritual leaders of the nation spoke out with one voice.
Among the speakers and representatives were the heads of the Catholic and Evangelical churches in Germany, the president of the World Jewish Council, and governmental leaders including the Federal President and German Chacellor Angela Merkel. We stood in the midst of thousands listening to such statements as, "Anti-Semitism is more than prejudice; it is a sin against the Holy Spirit." "The Jews in Germany are a national treasure." And "A single act of violence against a Jew is an act against us all."
We know that there is power in words and in authority, and when we heard the leaders of this nation speak out with boldness and clarity, we knew that Heaven was listening and a blessing was released over Germany in that moment.
Two Israeli women had just flown into Germany for the first time and suddenly found themselves in the midst of Israeli flags and banners of support. After months of running to shelters, they arrived in Germany to find thousands of friends who were standing by their side. They heard our team translating into English and pressed in close so they could hear what was going on. Afterwards, many were able to bless and encourage them. They were amazed and deeply touched. God is above and beyond good.
Today, June 2nd, is my grandmother's birthday. When we said goodbye to her in the hospital 7 years ago, it was such a hard, surreal, and uncharted experience. It came so unnexpectedly as she had not been sick for a long time; yet, we were together as a family, aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters. I remember the hardest part was when I had to call work to let them know that I would not be coming in. Something about actually saying the words that she had passed away unlocked the emotions like a flood.
The next week was painful as again and again the realization of what I had lost came like a wave; but it was also a beautiful time. Family coming together, going through boxes of pictures and putting together a slideshow of her life. The memorial service was so special and such a time of honoring her life–her love, how she brought together family, the legacy that she left behind.
Looking back at her life, there were so many beautiful and joyful times to celebrate, but also some really difficult and painful seasons that she had to walk through. But this is where the comfort came the greatest, the knowledge that now all of her tears were being wiped away. All of the pain and dissappointments were swallowed up in joy. She is in the very presence of her Creator. Can you imagine?! I think almost everyone has experienced rejection in his or her life and knows that pain. Now think about being introduced to someone who not only chose to love you, but the very one who purposed you into being. The one who decided that the world was not quite complete without you. The one that does not just accept you the way you are but made you the way you are! It is such an incredible thought, and it's not just an idea but the truth.
When I remember my grandma now, that pain and empty feeling has been healed. I think back and smile and my heart grows warm. I remember her smile and her voice. I remember her snack drawer and legos. I remember riding in the car with her to pick up my cousin Lacy from school. I remember how much she loved to be surrounded by her family on holidays. I remember her generosity with all that she crochetted for people. I remember her committment to the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers. She was so cute on Sundays sitting in her comfy pink chair with a large afghan on her lap that she was crochetting and her notebook nearby to keep stats of the game.
And then my thoughts always move to her in Heaven and I can only get joyful. I have lost something so special; but when I think about what she has gained, I can't help but rejoice. She loved to listen to old hymns and gospel music. My mom's favorite hymn "In the Garden" has this chorus: "And He walks with me and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known." That is the joy that my precious grandma now fully knows.
I want to share the memory of my favorite season with my grandma. In 11th grade my family moved from Grand Prairie to Roanoke. My sisters and I wanted to go ahead and start school in our new school district at the beginning of the year even though our house was not yet ready to be moved into. So, the first six weeks of the school year we lived with my grandma in Justin so we would be closer to our schools. Every morning, I would wake up and get ready first. Then my sisters would wake up and get ready and I would sit on the front porch with my grandma and we would drink our morning coffee together. She lived in a small mobile home at the bottom of a hill on my aunt and uncle's ranch. I love the country and it was so beautiful. I remember one particular morning that was just breathtaking and so perfect it was funny. There we were, my grandma and I, sitting and chatting with our hot coffee. The sun was rising over the hill and suddenly the horses began to frolick about and were literally playing with each other. It seemed like a movie. We just sat there in awe enjoying it together. It was lovely. Wherever she lived, I remember my grandma always having hummingbird feeders out. I also loved to watch the hummingbirds with her.
My other favorite memory related to my grandmother happened when she was not even with me. I was in Missouri and was visiting my aunts church. This old man came up to me smiling and said in his shaky but sweet voice, "you look just like this girl I went to school with–Zelna Ola." "That's my grandma," I replied and we both smiled really big. Here I was a stranger, and I look so much like my grandma that this man recognized her face in mine after probably over 60 years. That is still one of my proudest moments in life. I love my grandma and am proud to look like her. I am so thankful that she was such a good mom and gave me my mom. I am so grateful that she was such a caring and loving grandmother. Most of all, I am so thankful that she loved Jesus and that she chose to make Him Lord of her life. Beyond the legacy of facial features, of family, of love; the greatest legacy of her life is her faith.
Zelna Welker can now boast 5 children, 17 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and counting. I love you Grandma. Thank you for being such a special grandmother and giving me so much love. Enjoy the Father's love and all the wonders He shows you, and when I see a hummingbird I will think of you and how you are more free and joyful now than even the hummingbird.
Happy Thoughts for a New Year
Sitting in my room my second night back in Herrnhut–having just unpacked and re-organized everything–I sip tea from my beautiful chinese teapot I finally brought with me from home, and think happily on the blessings of books, lovely music, warm thoughts of family, and a beautiful new year before me.
I don't know what's in store, but I hope that it plunders the depths of my heart. Should there be grief, I hope that I may feel it to the depth of His comfort. Should there be joy, I hope that I may know it in its boundless possibilities. Should there be trials, I hope that I may run face-forward to the challenge. Should there be victory, I hope that in His grace I will triumph. Should there be dissappointment, I hope to be vulnerable in His presence. Should there be comfort, I hope to find joy in the sharing. And should there be love, I hope to give a heart that is whole; a heart that has chosen the depths–to give every ounce and to recieve, unapologetically, all that Love Himself shall give.
Twelve is a good number: 12 tribes, 12 apostles, a dozen eggs, a dozen roses. It sounds complete, doesn't it? It's a full number, good and round. More then ten, it just feels like an overflow. Let's give it all this time around. I'm not talking about running away with your emotions, but embracing the depths of real life. Forget the pixilated stampede of endless notifications. Let's be generous in real time. Have an interesting conversation and ask some real questions. If you found that you have neglected someone, turn around and go back. When you realize you are having a truly grateful moment, take it further and do something to make someone else thankful. When you've done wrong, make it right; and when you've done right, make it better.
Be inspired and inspire others. It's what breathing's all about: taking it in and giving it out. And remember that man's first breath was the breath of God. Maybe we should start that way each day.
So for all of us out there in the bumper cars of life, remember, it's more fun to drive around and get hit than to sit in the corner.
Happy 2012!!!

An arbitration tribunal has pulled the plug on a once-promising green car alliance between Volkswagen AG and Suzuki Motor Corp. The German maker has now been ordered to sell back the 19.9% stake it had purchased in the Japanese car company.
But VW says that may yet sue Suzuki for damages as a result of the break-up of the alliance which was formed in 2009 but never got off the ground, instead developing into a bitter public dispute between the two companies.
"It used to feel as if a small bone were stuck in my throat," Suzuki Chairman and Chief Executive Osamu Suzuki told a news conference after learning of the decision. "I feel so refreshed now."

The most effective recovery program I've ever worked with is Overcomers In ChristAlan Wood
A year ago, I met a church friend who, with her husband, was leading an Overcomers group. I didn't need to overcome drugs or alcohol again, but I wanted to go deeper in my relationship with God. As I work through the Overcomers Handbook, I'm seeing God in a different light. I'm learning healthy relationships, healthy boundaries and what to do when my boat starts rocking. I would not have grown like I have without Overcomers In Christ.Doris Minchow
It is awesome how in the group setting with the handbook, we can examine the word of God and apply it to vital areas of our lives. This ministry has done more in my spiritual life in a few months than I have experienced in years. Thank you Lord for your victory.Rick Rodriguez

The Bay Area is no South Florida when it comes to Caribbean food, but there are some tasty options out there if you know where to look—mostly in the East Bay, as it turns out.
Chan Chan, a newer Cuban place in SF, has a limited menu, but the offerings are intriguing. "The star anise in the shrimp criolla was new to me and delicious," says stanbee. "Chan Chan is more like a visit to Cuba than a Cuban restaurant," says Windy, who enjoyed the food but notes that the hours are mysterious (they serve a few things until they run out) and so are the prices (though they're reasonable).
Mikey's, a newish diner in San Rafael, has a Cuban chef and is slowly adding Cuban dishes (like delectable masitas de puerco in a tart, complex sauce) and other Latin American fare, like Peruvian, says DezzerSF.
"Habana Cuba in San Jose is the only place I've been that was like real Cuban home cooking," says Robert Lauriston.
Parada 22, a tiny new Puerto Rican joint, got a rave from Patricia Unterman recently for its Cuban sandwich, but stanbee notes that it isn't exactly authentic. "Has lots more filling, sliced thicker than Miami Cuban; bread—no lard—but tasty anyways." There isn't much Puerto Rican food in these parts to compete with Parada 22, but pamf recommends Sol Food in San Rafael as excellent.
On the Jamaican beat, Flavah Island Cafe is a totally different place since it changed hands—and names, from Jamaican Soul—a year ago. The new chef-owner does excellent ackee and saltfish, says bigwheel042. Oxtail stew and codfish fritters are good too, adds abstractpoet. Sweet Fingers is also a good bet for Jamaican, says theomordha: "Awesome jerk chicken and whatever else the chef is playing with."
Yardie Jerk, an old fave, recently reopened after yet another hiatus. "I went and had oxtails, which were good but didn't live up to their past glory," says 10foot5. Jerk chicken is supposed to be as good as ever. 10foot5 enjoys New Karibbean City for the excellent curry goat, very good jerk chicken, and good oxtails. And Back a Yard is a Peninsula powerhouse for Jamaican jerk and oxtails.
Can't decide between all the island delights? BernalKC's family likes Primo Patio Cafe, described as a "Caribbean fusion of Cuba, Jamaica, and the kitchen sink. Whatever it is, we love it and go there a lot."

Lord Rossart was a member of the Alchemists' Guild in King's Landing. He served as the Hand of the King to Aerys II Targaryen for a fortnight.[1]
Rossart was the Grand Master of the Alchemists' Guild during the reign of Aerys II, who granted him the title of Lord and a seat on the small council. He was also the pyromancer who had cooked Lord Rickard Stark in his armor,[2] and one of the key players in the wildfire plot. After Lord Qarlton Chelsted was burned alive, Aerys made Rossart Hand of the King. As his personal arms he chose a burning torch.[3][4] As the Sack of King's Landing began, Rossart dressed as a common man-at-arms and rushed to fulfill Aerys's orders to burn the city, but he was killed by Ser Jaime Lannister.[3]
Recent Events
A Clash of Kings
Hallyne the pyromancer meets with Tyrion Lannister to update him on the amount of wildfire that has been created. Tyrion is the first Hand of the King since Rossart to visit the Alchemists' Guild.[5] Hallyne informs Tyrion that they found a cache of over three hundred jars of wildfire that had been placed beneath the Dragonpit by Lord Rossart.[6]
A Storm of Swords
Ser Jaime Lannister reveals to Brienne of Tarth the wildfire plot and the part Rossart played in it.[3]
A Feast for Crows
Cersei Lannister considers appointing Hallyne as the new Hand of the King, stating he would not be the first pyromancer to become Hand. Jaime does not approve of the choice, remembering how he killed the last one.[7]
A Dance with Dragons
Kevan Lannister remembers that after the Battle of the Bells he had expected King Aerys II Targaryen to have no choice but to summon Tywin Lannister once again, but instead Aerys had turned to Lords Chelsted and Rossart and paid for it with his life and crown.[8]

Annie - posted on 02/17/2010 ( 7 moms have responded )
Hi, all! I have a daughter who will be 5 in July and a son who will be 4 in May (10 months difference in age), and they currently bathe together on a regular basis. I don't have a problem with it because they don't make a big deal over their differences, and they enjoy playing with their foam cars and stuff in the tub (usually a half hour at a time!). Plus, I can't imagine having to extend bath time to over an hour total from clothes off to jammies on if I were to separate them, but it seems that it is uncommon practice anymore to bathe siblings of opposite gender together. I'm sure I was at least 5 and my brother 6 when we stopped bathing together and neither of us are mentally scarred or anything. So when do I have to split them up? I could just shower them individually, which would take about 10 minutes a kid from start to finish, but I hate to do that because the so enjoy tub time. Help! And if I do split them up, how do I explain to them why this needs to happen? Obviously they are just innocent children and have no idea why bathing together could raise any sort of controversy.

In a K-8 school, the counselor wears many hats. At Anne Sullivan, my job as school counselor involves three domains: Academic, Personal/Social, and Career Counseling. In the K-5, I visit classrooms weekly to deliver classroom lessons that promote positive social skills, communication, anger management, and problem-solving. I also take the students through a college and career unit, in which we explore all of the job possibilities awaiting them after high school and college. I also co-facilitate prosocial groups, such as Friendship Group, with our Social Worker, Paula Nelson.
In the Middle School, I work with students on a district iniative called My Life Plan. Students have their own account on the Naviance College & Careers computer network; throughout the year we take different inventories to determine interests, learning styles, and goals, and then explore colleges and careers that match the results of the inventories. I am the High School Choice Coordinator at our school, and help our 8th grade students determine which high school to attend, navigate the application process, and help with appeals in the spring if need be. I am the Co-Coordinator of our AVID program, as well as the RAMPP tutoring coordinator for our school. I am the Student Council Advisor, and love working with our wonderful group of leaders within Sullivan every day.
My job at Sullivan is to help kids to be successful in school and at school every day. My goal is to make school an enjoyable experience for our students, so that they will come to Sullivan with a spark and a love for learning.

Quite the contrary. I heard a talk a couple of years ago from a Taiwanese professor, who said that in Confucian-law contries (CJK), *only* the sealed physical paper version of the document was considered the document: not a fax, not a photocopy, and certainly not an abstracted version. So to be useful, SGML documents needed to carry around enough formatting information to allow them to be printed sealed (stamped), and after that they needed to have information to nominate the actual document. Presumably this will all change at some stage with reliable electronic signatures. I don't know enough to know whether this is something that XML should concern itself with, though. Rick Jelliffe

When Lily Milton is reported missing, her boyfriend, Parker Hubbard, points Detectives Benson and Stabler in the direction of Callum Donovan, Lily's downstairs neighbor and convicted bank robber who spent nineteen years in prison. Stabler is convinced that Donovan was the perp and vigorously pursues him.
Later, Lily turns up alive, having gone into hiding in shame after a failed attempt to score drugs. Trying to be the bigger man, Stabler goes to apologize to Donovan, but finds him on the roof of the apartment building. Donovan panics and pushes Stabler off the roof.
Stabler survives, and initially intends to help A.D.A. Paxton throw the book at Donovan, but after Donovan testifies that he was afraid of going back to prison because of the time he spent in solitary, Stabler resolves to enter the Hole himself to see if it can really make someone crazy.
When three days inside passes like a week for him he finds himself agreeing with Donovan. However Paxton refuses to sympathise with the perp and not only continues with the case but pushes to have him sent directly to solitary. Later while Stabler is in a bar feeling sory for the man, A.D.A Paxton comes in and offers to by him a drink in congratulations for sending Donovan back where he belongs, only for Stabler to give her the cold shoulder in disgust.
Later on while visiting Donovan Elliot finds that Donovan had injured himself in his cell while attempting suicide. He will be in the prison hospital until he recovers, and thanks to some calls from Paxton he will be released back into the prison population. Donovan thanks Stabler for that, but Elliot replies it wasn't him.

- Paxton: Where the hell you been?
- Stabler: At the hole. [pause] I want to drop the charges.
- Paxton: [laughs] don't be a wuss Stabler. You took a bad trip in your own head, and now what? you feel sorry for Donovan? Well that's your problem. Mine is convicting a would-be cop killer, who thinks doing a little time gives him the right to whack the first cop who looks at him cross-eyed.
- Stabler: It's not that simple.
- Paxton: Actually it is. If Donovan walks it's open season on law enforcement, for any perp that did a day in the hall.
- Stabler: Look, you don't have to set him a precedent, just cut him a deal.
- Paxton: If I plea-bargain Donovan, he's out in 5 years, and then what? Does he run down the cop who pulls him over for speeding? I won't take that chance.
- Stabler: I'll report you for assault. The DA will suspend you.
- Paxton: Go ahead. [pauses and then smiles] Thought so. You may of lost your balls in lock-up but, I still got mine.
- Stabler (to Paxton): You act like the law's holy scripture. You don't give a damn about the law. You want control. You don't know me. You know me? I know you. I see perps like you walking here everyday of the week. They got to have control; the whole world falls apart, but inside they're scared, weak, damage... [is slapped by Paxton]

On January 15 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from La Guardia airport and lost thrust in both engines after colliding with a flock of geese. After realizing that there was not enough time to reach an airport, pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger managed to bring the plane to a safe landing in the Hudson River. All 155 people on board survived. New York Governor David Paterson described this as, "A miracle on the Hudson," during a news conference and this phrase was frequently repeated in media reports about the accident.

Channel 5 and the Wright Stuff respond to Gamers' Voice letter of complaint
Back in April, Gamers' Voice sent a letter to Channel 5 over an episode of The Wright Stuff program after it linked a London gang-related shooting with violent videogames, before showing footage of Modern Warfare 2's No Russian level.
According to Gamers' Voice, Channel 5 has responded to its official letter, stating it was "grateful for the opportunity to respond" with Caroline Davies, editor of the Wright Stuff and author of the response, standing behind the show and claiming it was a fair and reasonable airing.
"We always make every effort to ensure that discussions on controversial subjects are fair and balanced, and I am happy that we did so on this occasion," said Davies in the statement. "We are, however, an open access current affairs discussion programme and are strongly committed to fostering robust debate and the expression of strongly held opinions. We are the only such programme on British television.
"We always aim for balance but what we will never do is suppress the expression of legitimate and reasonable opinions simply because we disagree with them."
Gamers' Voice said it never claimed it its letter to the program that opinions such as Anne Diamond's should be "suppressed or censored because we disagree with them," but that that particular show "favoured uninformed statements and sensationalist representation over a balanced look at the issue."
"One of the main concerns raised in our letter was the impression that the Wright Stuff blamed video games for the increase in violent crime. More specifically a recent shooting in a pizza parlour in South London, by 22-year old Leon Dunkley, and the lack of emotion he expressed as he carried out the atrocity," ," said the group's founder,Tom Watson.
"The perpetrators had joked about 'how she fell' and many commentators had drawn the obvious parallel with victims of shootings as depicted in game graphics."
Watson said that Davies made "no comment on the dismissal of research," but did say that show host Matthew Wright "felt they were not the cause. So far as the research is concerned, he repeatedly stressed that this is inconclusive."
"We are pleased that our letter to Channel 5 has prompted them to perform a review of their broadcast of the Wright Stuff on April 14," added Gamers' Voice chairman, Paul Gibson. "Channel 5 maintains that their coverage was fair and neutral despite the uproar in the gaming community and actions taken by ourselves and CVG.
"Furthermore, whilst their response puts great emphasis on the experience and 'credibility' of the panellists by claiming that they are "intelligent and reasonable people" they do not in any way refer to the inflammatory and quite frankly insulting remarks made regarding gamers in general.
"Our complaint to OFCOM remains a live issue however, and we look forward to the results of that complaint in due course. Overall we are pleased that Channel 5 have taken our complaint seriously and have performed this review. Even though they do not acknowledge any wrongdoing, we hope that our action will cause the broadcasters and the presenters to carefully consider their statements and subject matter in the future."
Gamer's Voice is still awaiting response from Ofcom, the independent regulator and competition authority for UK communications, over the fact that the show aired a 18-rated game clip during the the hours of 10.30am UK time.

Death/doom metallers Rotting Kingdom hail over from the US with their self-titled EP, released in February this year.
The first of three tracks, Adrift In A Sea Of Souls, is a great blend between death and doom metal. The track kicks off with a doom-like guitar intro, joined by deep growls after a while, which intensifies the dark, haunted and desolate atmosphere created. Midway throughout the song, genres are switched, and things speed up a bit, before the end of the song comes with a blend of death and doom metal. A glorious track that wets your appetite for what is yet to come. The Castle Of Decay is way more death-oriented than Adrift In A Sea Of Souls, while remaining a mid-tempo song and preserving the haunted atmosphere created I the first track. Things then end very early with the third and last song, entitled Demons In Stained Glass. This track is, for its first half, also rather on the death metal side, but influenced a bit more by the Scandinavian greats within the genre. Especially the brutal drums kicking in at 1:40 are a highlight of the song. The second half then turns again more towards doom metal, but with enough variation for it never to become boring, rounding off this exquisite EP.
In conclusion: Rotting Kindom's self-titled EP is a joy to listen to, and with only 24 minutes of playing time ends way too soon. The guys are excellent musicians, and the production is perfect and to the point as well. Personally, I cannot wait to hear more from Rotting Kingdom, and highly recommend you to check them out in the meantime! 10/10.

What is meant by 'transition" is a word or phrase that can shift a reader from what was said to a different concept or idea. We use transtions all the time when we write something like - Meg was furious but then she realized her mother was truly a kind person. The "but then" is a transition to guide a reader to the fact that elements of the story are going to change.

Regarding the average length a synopsis should be really varies.

Your question about an editor/agent's ability to read what's left out is a good one because it's actually part of a larger question - 1) what is the true intention of a synopsis and 2) are synopses meant to replace reading our manuscripts.

Great question. A short synopsis is usually considered to be a one-page, single-spaced synopsis or a two-page double-spaced synopis both of which add up to about 500 words. A long synopsis is usually considered 1 synopsis page for every 10,000 words of the novel so a 10 page synopsis for a 100,000 word manuscript is the standard length.

Here's the great news. After all the work we put into our manuscripts, telling about said story in a couple of pages max, or a couple of hundred or thousand words, will sound dull.

For most of us we only have a chance to work with a synopsis once, maybe twice a year -- any skill that's used so infrequently can get rusty. Plus we're very, very close to our own work.

Two POV's -- not a problem - make sure you use transitions to indication the story line is shifting. Again - don't think chapter by chapter [unless such a synopsis is specifically requested] but think in terms of the story's plot line for each of your two protagonists.

Thanks for stopping by today. Word count can be a challenge and usually indicates one is trying to include more than the bare bones plot structure. An editor/agent KNOWS a short synopsis is short so they don't expect to see a lot of details, subplots, etc. What they are lookin for is whether the primary plot line is solid, has strong turning points [where the story changes Mary B :-)email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-25485552852285325132008-08-30T12:36:00.000-04:002008-08-30T12:36:00.000-04:00This may sound kind of stupid, but I have trouble ...This may sound kind of stupid, but I have trouble with the beginning of a synopsis.

Athletes, coaches and administrators alike were quick to share their elation last Wednesday as the Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame Dinner doled out
the hardware for the eleven different awards that are presented annually, along with a newly incorporated honour.
Still, it was a uniquely different perspective offered by the family of certain winners, with at least a couple of recipients kept busy in faraway places,
nowhere near the festivities
of the Caruso Club last week.
World Cup para-nordic skier Collin Cameron was attending a week-long team training session in Bend (Oregon) with the balance of the
Canadian national team when he was named as Elite Athlete of the Year.
Celebrating her one year anniversary with her husband back in early May, Marley Cameron had no trouble identifying a few key traits that
helped Collin prevail in a category blessed with an abundance of talent and skill.
"His determination," she responded without hesitation. "He is the most determined person that I have ever met. That is one of the things that inspires me
the most, it made me fall in love with him. It doesn't matter what he wants to do, he'll set his mind to it and he will achieve it. I think it will continue
to contribute to his progression as an athlete."
Despite this trait, Cameron was not at all convinced that, at the end of the evening, this award would be his. "I don't think he's going to believe me,"
laughed Marley. "He was up against some amazing athletes." (Paralympic rower and medal winner Curtis Halladay and two-time Canadian cross-country
champion Ross Proudfoot).
"He didn't think that he had achieved as much as the other athletes, so I think he'll be pretty shocked to hear the news." Working hard towards earning
a berth on the team that will represent this country at the 2018 Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea next March, Cameron would
break through yet another key threshold on his road to success should he crack the roster.
"The 2018 Paralympics would be a big learning curve for him," noted his spouse. "He would get a chance to get his toes wet and dip into the Olympic pool.
He would love to win another medal, an Olympic medal, but I think his focus is learning. More realistically, he's hoping to medal in the next Olympics
While Cameron was clear across the continent last week, Amateur Female Athlete of the Year Jenna Hellstrom managed one better, having left for
Sweden just a few days earlier to pursue her career in professional soccer, following an illustrious NCAA career with the Kent State Golden Flashes.
In her absence, Hellstrom would be represented by younger sister Karly, who will follow in her footsteps, heading to Kent State in the fall and looking
to combine her own character and skill-set with perhaps a trait or two from her older sibling.
"She's feisty, I'll give her that," said Karly with a smile. "She won't give up a fight at all. I would definitely take that, she's a little feistier
than me. I think we both work hard. I think she's always felt that coming from a small town, that hard work was a must. And she always has a smile on her face,
except for on the field."
Given the many similarities, it's no small wonder that the soon-to-be graduate of Lasalle Secondary looks at the next chapter in her sister's
soccer career with somewhat mixed feelings.
"We have trained together since day one, from the time that I took soccer seriously," said Karly. "We were every day together, in the gym, on the field,
everything we did, we did together. Her being that far away is going to be hard. It's not like I can take a trip to see her on a weekend."
"But I also look at this as an opportunity for her to continue soccer, and I'm going to continue with my soccer at Kent State. We're both at the stage
of our life where we're ready to do the next thing. But yes, we'll have times where we are going to miss each other."
Rounding out the list of award winners were:
Hall of Fame inductees for the Class of 2017 included Bill McKetsy, Mary Waddell, Bob Rogers, Mario Anselmo, Pat Pickard, Mike Derks, Ron Didone,
Andy Barbe and the 1999-2000 Rayside-Balfour Sabrecats team.

When you see a multi-millionaire holidaying on a yacht, chances are you feel envious. But maybe overall you are both just as happy. At first, that might be hard to believe especially when you see that they have all the luxuries when you're struggling to get by each month. However, research suggests that you might feel this way because you're only focusing on the visible wealth aspect of their life.
Whenever you focus too much on any one aspect of life, whether that's earning more money, living in a better neighbourhood, shedding a few more kilos or going on that dream holiday and believe it could be the solution to all your problems, you're usually exaggerating its importance and it's an illusion.
People think they'll be happy forever if they win the lottery because it'll solve all their money problems. But of course that's not the case because the novelty wears off; you adapt to the new realities of your life and the focus shifts to the next thing
It's all in your head
Behavioural economics founder Daniel Kahneman and his colleague David Schkade described this mismatch between thinking about a life condition and actually living it as focusing illusion: nothing in life is as important as you think it is, while you are thinking about it.
They tested this idea by comparing life satisfaction of people living in California on the West Coast with those living in the Midwest United States. The Midwesterners believed those living in California would be happier (perhaps because of the media representation of California as a sunny place with a diverse culture) without considering the urban downsides of traffic and pollution.
It turned out that self-reported overall life satisfaction was the same in both regions. This shows that when we focus on one aspect of our lives, we tend to undervalue the others, which also play a large role in making us happy. Often, people don't know how happy or satisfied they are with their life in the way they know their height or telephone number.
Novelty distorts our focus
Recent life changes – perhaps a marriage, divorce, new job or home – come easily and quickly to mind and you tend to focus on them. You'll tend to think about these novel events, which increase their apparent importance and influence. If you've just got a new job and you're happy, you're likely to say life is good but if you regret the move, you might tend to be dissatisfied in general.
However, 15 years on, this life change will seem insignificant. The classic examples of this are lottery winners and people who have become disabled due to an accident, as Kahneman writes in his book Thinking Fast and Slow. People generally think they'll be happy forever if they win the lottery because it'll solve all their money problems. But of course that's not the case because the novelty wears off; you adjust and adapt to the new realities of your life and the focus shifts to the next big thing.
Similarly, people who have become disabled because of an accident aren't unhappy all the time despite their loss. And one reason is they can still do many things that make them happy such as watch television or spend time with friends. Incredibly, neither of these groups are nearly as miserable or happy as many people think. In fact their day-to-day happiness is about the same.
Take a broader view
When you see a new gadget or an appliance that you really want or even a new fancy restaurant, you tend to focus on it and greatly exaggerate and overestimate the difference it could make to your quality life.
In the same way, Kahneman writes that education is one of the most important determinants of your income, which is why so many people are willing to spend so much money on it. Nevertheless, education is still less important than most people think. Even if everybody had the same education, the difference in earnings would remain huge, as this NYT article explains.
Obviously, the focusing illusion has a bigger effect when it comes to some goods and experiences than others, particularly those that continue to attract more of our attention over time.
When taking your next big decision, whether that be accepting a new job or moving house, don't just focus on one thing. Try and consider all the factors that go into that change. Remembering that other aspects of your life are also very important may help you take a broader view of the situation – and make better decisions about personal finance.

I've been obsessed with rose earrings for a really LONG time. I remember searching for the perfect pair several years ago, and was met with disappointment. Recently, they've become much more common, and I fulfilled my dream of finding the perfect pair at a Vintage craft fair at Christmas.
The girl at the booth MADE them, and I though....hey, why can't I do that? So I did!
I ordered the roses off of etsy (just search: rose cabachons, and there ya go!), and picked up the earring posts at Michaels. You'll also need some glue....I'm using E6000. (I tried hot glue, which worked, but if you pull too hard on your rose it might come off!)
{Note: Michaels also sells similar roses in case you don't want to order something online. They're slightly larger, but worked nicely as well!}
-rose cabachons
-earring posts
First dab a bit of glue onto one of your roses using (you may want to use a Q-tip or toothpick to help spread it around), and then press an earring post firmly onto the back of the rose. You should apply enough glue that little bit squeezes out when you apply the earring post. Then, use a Q-tip to clean up any excess glue.
(Thanks goes to my roomie for humoring me and helping out by putting together this pair so I could photograph the process!!)

Supremes back Wall Street on dot com era ladder deals
Take it to the SEC
Disappointed US investors cannot use anti-trust laws to sue banks they accuse of fixing the price of initial public offerings (IPO) of some 900 companies in the late 1990s.
The Supreme Court voted seven to one that such allegations should be ruled on by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The suit alleged that big banks worked with brokers to fix the price of IPOs to the detriment of the US public. They also used "laddering" - favoured clients who got first choice of newly issued shares also had to buy shares as the price rose. This helped produce the big price jumps seen in the early trading of newly listed public companies in the late 1990s. It became common practice for the banks to ensure share offerings were effectively underwritten in this way.
The case also alleged banks paid unusually high commissions for these services. Finally, the banks were accused of "tying" - linking purchases of popular stocks with those of much less popular shares.
But the Supremes ruled on Monday that the SEC is the correct body to deal with such complaints.
Justice Stephen Breyer said such cases brought: "A substantial risk of injury to the securities markets."
Breyer said the SEC is likely to do a better job. The decision said: "A fine, complex, detailed line separates activity that the SEC permits or encourages from activity that it forbids. And the SEC has the expertise to distinguish what is forbidden from what is allowed."
It does not mean the issue is over - the SEC is still investigating several IPOs and could still rule in the investors' favour. But a victory under anti-trust legislation would have brought bigger fines and settlements for investors.
The whole decision is available as a 30 page pdf here. ®

Fire Marshal Calls for County-wide Burn Ban; In Effect until Sept. 1
A county-wide burn ban was declared Tuesday (July 17) by the King County Fire Marshal in conjunction with Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston counties.
This ban was prompted by forecasts calling for continued dry weather, and is scheduled to last until September 1, 2012.
"This Phase 1 burn ban applies to all outdoor burning except for small recreational fires in established fire pits at approved camp grounds or private property with the owner's permission," reads a statement on the county's website.
These fires must:
- Be built in a metal or concrete fire pit, such as those typically found in designated campgrounds;
- Grow no larger than three feet across;
- Be located in a clear spot free from any vegetation for at least 10 feet in a horizontal direction, including a 20-foot vertical clearance from overhanging branches; and
- Be attended at all times by an alert individual with immediate access to a shovel and either five gallons of water or a connected and charged water hose.
The use of gas and propane self-contained stoves and barbeques will continue to be allowed under the ban.

Originally a 2014 story published in the online edition of International Business Times UK, these pictures of an abandoned Hellenikon airport, Athens are very telling. The airport was built in 1938, used as a Nazi Luftwaffe base during World War Two. Afterwards, by the United States Air Force.
History took it´s course for this airport in 2001 when it closed, to make way for a more modern one prior to the 2004 Olympics. Myself, having never been to this airport I can only use my imagination while looking at the pictures. For former travelers these pictures might have a nostalgic flair, evoking memories like waiting at the gate for the flight. Regardless, they possess a raw quality.

I somehow came across Alice's stories this morning while browsing thru games at the Nancy Drew site. I was drawn in- I very much appeciate this story. When I was young it seems all the stories I learned were fairy tales and princess stories where the children are led to believe it's all happily ever after.etc. The world has changed so much since I was young, and children feel the distance between themselves and children in other countries and cultures is only as far away as the computer in their bedroom. That's why I love these stories of yours- such a great balance, realistic- I think children growing up with stories such as these will be much better prepared for the real world. As a regular book this would be a great story, too-And of course this medium is so intense! Thanks, this was a great way to spend my morning!

I teach in a small alternative secondary school near Vancouver, Canada. This looks really interesting. I think my students would love to work with it.
Do they have to use the devices? or can we work on PC's? Exactly what am I buying if I purchase iStories?

Glasgow snapped two three-match losing runs today – one against inter-city rivals Edinburgh and the other they had slipped to in this season's Guinness Pro12 before the European break – with a deserved derby victory.
The Warriors will carry a 13 point lead into the deciding leg of the 1872 Cup at Scotstoun on the final weekend of the regular season and, while being be confident of taking the trophy back after two seasons' absence, for now they will be pleased to have got back to winning ways in the championship.
Tries from Junior Bulumakau, Josh Strauss and Alex Dunbar added to the league woes of Edinburgh, who could only respond with four penalties from Glasgow old boy Duncan Weir on a day when the Warriors' greater on-field leadership and experience of winning proved decisive.
Edinburgh left wing Tom Brown had led out the team on his 100th appearance for the club but it was his opposite number Bulumakau who was all smiles within a minute of the kick off as, in his first start of the season, he touched down in the right corner for the first score of the match.
Dunbar's punt through came off the knee of home full-back Blair Kinghorn and the Warriors wing simply had to fall on the ball for a gift of an opening try. Finn Russell was just wide with the conversion attempt and Edinburgh responded immediately with Hamish Watson making one of his trademark dynamic bursts and Glasgow were penalised at the breakdown to give Weir a routine opportunity to peg three points back.
The home side were getting to grips with the game now and starting to ask questions of the Warriors defence. That momentum went up a gear in the 21st minute when visiting prop Alex Allan was sin-binned by Welsh referee Ian Davies for a ruck infringement and Weir was on target again to nudge his side into the lead.
Edinburgh's resurgence was stalled by a couple of incidences of inaccuracy and, by the time Allan had returned to get Glasgow back to the full complement, the game was being played deep in home territory.
Russell opted to kick to the corner when Edinburgh conceded a penalty in their own 22 and it paid dividends as the resulting maul was finished off by Strauss and the stand-off converted to open up a 12-6 lead as the clock ticked down to half-time.
Warriors ended the opening period as they had started it with a sustained assault on the Edinburgh line. Mark Bennett made a searing break and the visiting forwards had a couple of rumble forwards before the penalty came and Russell stroked over for a nine-point lead at the interval.
Edinburgh loosehead Alasdair Dickinson had been taken off late in the half and the second 40 opened with Glasgow winning a scrum penalty but Russell erred as he kicked dead in goal. Stuart Hogg then carved Edinburgh up like a turkey with a scintillating surge and the scrambling defence gave away a penalty 25 metres out. But Russell's right boot remained below par and the chance to extend the lead further was spurned.
Russell's old Scotstoun mate Weir was not so profligate minutes later as he cut the gap to less than a converted try in the 52nd minute.
The kicking duel continued to unfold but took a bizarre twist when the ball fell off the tee during Russell's run up for his next opportunity. The Scotland No.10 had missed a couple of drop goal attempts in the recent Argentina Test and admitted it was an aspect of his game that required some work. He proved that he can drop a goal under pressure, though, as he picked the dislodge ball up and calmly stroked through the posts.
Edinburgh hit back well and, while they couldn't pierce the Warriors defence, gained another penalty which Weir gobbled up. Once again the home side failed to back up their good work, though, and Jonny Gray's charge down on Weir's kick had the men in white knocking on the door.
Some smart work by Sam Hidalgo-Clyne at stealing from the base of scrum almost had substitute Viliame Mata away but possession was again surrendered.
Glasgow pushed hard for what would surely be a decisive try and they eventually got it when some smart handling put Dunbar in on the left. Russell's conversion was successful but a rush of blood to the stand-off's head saw him try a chip and chase under his own posts which almost opened the door for the home side to get back in range for a losing bonus point and keep the aggregate target down but indiscipline at the breakdown relieved the pressure on Glasgow. Edinburgh had one last go and looked to have grabbed a try back but Mata had been held up over the line at the death.
