Mountain Breezes from Amy Carmichael: A Gift of Poetry Became A Friend
Amy Carmichael's Poetry In Mountain Breezes
If you know of Amy Carmichael's work you may also be familiar with her poetry. Whether you are familiar with her poems or not, you might like to pick up Mountain Breezes for it is a wonderful anthology that speaks Scripture truths to the believer's heart.
Meaningful Poems from Amy Carmichael for Life's Seasons
The poems contained in Mountain Breezes were penned from a heart and mind that knew and trusted God. Amy Carmichael's faith is recorded in poems for our benefit. Reading her work is an incredibly strengthening experience.
Trusting God when life turns in an unexpected direction is the secret to having the peace that passes understanding in difficult circumstances. Mountain Breezes by Amy Carmichael offers inestimable encouragement to be faithful to God's Word.
This book is full of rich blessings for ourselves and for those we love. As a guide for our prayers over the burdens we carry Carmichael's poems give insight and courage from Scripture for the pilgrim journey of this life.
A Beautiful and Inspiring Gift of Poetry
Mountain Breezes was a loving gift to me from our dear son when a dark hour descended on our family. It has become like a good friend, full of strength, comfort, support, and guidance for a Believer.
I have enjoyed being able to share its gifts with others because someone cared enough to share them with me. These lines from Amy Carmichael's hand are an example of why her encouragement is for difficult days in a Believer's life:
from Beauty and Battle
Lighten mine eyes till I joyfully see
Beauty in all that Thou givest to me,
Lord of the light.
Grant me Thy courage that, fearless and free,
Facing the odds, I may conquer with Thee,
Lord of the fight.
In thinking about how much of this life is a battle I was struck with what we have in being able to look to the Lord for help if we are Believers.
He sends the rain and the sun, the spring and the winter, the day and the night throughout the earth to all people, even those who worship the creation above the Creator.
From birth to death in this fallen world we all eventually have seasons rich with peace and joy as well as seasons of difficulty and hardship.
With the inestimable beauty of the hope that Amy Carmichael's lines present to us, there are also warnings that resonate through the ages:
Counting the Cost
Thou hast enough to pay they fare?
Well be it so;
But thou shouldest know,
Does thy God send thee there--
Is that it all? To pay thy fare?
There's been many a coin flung lightly down
Brings back a load of care.
It may cost what thou knowest not
To bring thee home from there.
Come What May
In all circumstances there is more to life than what those who trust Him according to His Word can comprehend. By faith with His help, Believers can accept the whole counsel of His Word and live out the enigma of how His ways are not our ways.
In trusting Him, we can be victorious in whatever we have to face in this world. By His power we can be faithful while He weaves the tapestry that takes us through our earthly lives.
Would I have chosen an unfair prison sentence for Joseph? Would I have chosen Abigail's time with churlish Nabal? That martyr's death for John? Amy Carmichael's suffering? The trials other Believers throughout the ages have faced?
How did They Respond to Their Circumstances?
It was more than blind faith that enabled these people to persevere in the odds they faced. Their eye was not on the present, but on eternity, and they took God at His Word in order to remain faithful-- faithful in prayer, faithful in their daily walk, faithful to the end of this life.
Would I have chosen the Cross for the Lord Jesus? I cannot imagine that I could have even known much less understood what He faced in that choice, but because He willingly gave His life to it I have eternal security today.
The historical examples that God gives of His work among His people are mixed with mystery, sometimes beyond our ability to comprehend. Knowing that God has a clear view of eternity and that what He is doing in the here and now is related to that eternity, I am able to trust His wisdom and kindness in asking me to depend on Him in and for all things.
Encouragements from Christians who have gone before us are a tremendous help to others in their journey and Mountain Breezes is no exception. It is, however, exceptionally insightful, full of courage giving lines and stunning panoramas of living with eternity in view.
(Isaiah 41:10, John 14:3)
God of patience and endurance,
Steadfast as the steadfast stars
Stands Thy promise, Thine assurance
Unto Thine ambassadors:
"I, thy God, will strengthen thee...
Where I am, there thou shalt be."
Lord, we would endure; O sift us
Clear of weakness; make us strong.
Lord, we would endure; O lift us
Into joy and conquering song.
Cause us in Thy peace to dwell,
Seeing the invisible.
Let us welcome all life's weather,
Whatsoever it may be;
And, or singly or together,
Find our heart's delight in Thee,
Our Redeemer, our Adored,
Lover and beloved Lord.
More Reading that Matters:
- Poems Drawn from Suffering
These two new poems are quite different from each other, yet their themes touche something in the heart of every Believer who has experienced suffering.
- Daily Light on the Daily Path: A Devotional Book Like No Other
This is topically arranged Scripture with morning and evening readings outlined for each day. It's most unique feature is also its most powerful feature.
- Hannah of 1 Samuel 1:1-28
Hannah's complicated relationship provides us with lessons for living out life-giving truths. Her faith inspires others who are suffering to pray as she did.
- Love Is The Defining Factor: An Invitation
In determining whether to go forward in a relationship it is important to find out if the other person knows the definition of love.
- The Reese Chronological Bible: Study the Word
The Reese Chronological Bible offers us a unique opportunity to know the Word of God better.
Join this Dialogue:
Thanks for the recommendation of "Mountain Breezes." This sounds like a nice, hopeful read, for anything a day brings us.
Good hub.Very beautifully she has expressed in those lines especially"Beauty in all that Thou givest to me,".This line says so much.God gave us a beautiful world least we could do was to appreciate it.
Amy Carmichael's life is such an inspiring one. There's a great dvd for kids on her life that you can find at torchlighters.org
It shows how that it was during her being immobile for so much of her life that she was able to write so much...
It's amazing how God used this time to develop such great writings from her that have blessed so many.
Thanks for sharing her poem with us!
Great hub, great poetry, great insights to ponder about. Thank you for sharing it. Blessings to you and regards.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and leand not on your own understanding" - that was my Baptism verse. Trusting Him brings acceptance of the things in life that we cannot understand the reason for - great hub, I will reading Mountain Breezes, thank you
It is a good thing that we do not know all things in advance. We should be content to tackle each day as it comes. The security of knowing there is a better life ahead when we exit from this life is assuring. That book of poetry sounds wonderful. Thanks!

Here are two Great Graphs from Bill McBride at Calculated Risk blog. The first captures the dramatic magnitude of US job losses in the Great Recession. It was clearly unprecedented in the post-WWII experience. Businesses slashed employment quicker and deeper than before. They have also been slower to expand their workforce. By this time in every other cycle, employment had recouped the losses incurred during the recession. The pace of job growth has been exceptionally steady, despite heterodox easing by the Federal Reserve and the massive expansion of its balance sheet. If this pace is maintained, it will take the better part of the next two years to recover the number of jobs lost in the Great Recession. On the other hand, we note that the US economy is one of the few high income economies in which GDP surpassed the pre-crisis peak. The second graph compares the current (November) unemployment rate in the 50 states to the peak. All the states have seen their unemployment rates fall. Only four states have unemployment rates below the 6.5% threshold the FOMC has identified as a key to their pledge to keep interest rates low. A few states stand out. Michigan, for example, had the highest unemployment rate at the worst of the Great Recession and it has slipped to 6th place. At its worst, South Carolina had the third highest unemployment rate. Now it is 14th. Ohio has also moved from among the highest to the lower half. The improvement in all three appears to reflect, to some extent, the recovery of the auto sector. US auto sales increased 15% in 2011 and another 15% in 2012.

Cats, dogs and a ferret - can you rehome these Martlesham RSPCA animals?
PUBLISHED: 20:00 13 September 2017
Are you in a position to be able to adopt one of these cute creatures from the RSPCA centre in Martlesham?
First up is Eric and Ernie, a sweet pair of rabbits who just love to run around together throughout the day and cuddle up together in the evenings.
They are a friendly pair that have been very well socialised previously and would benefit from a home that con continue socialising with them.
Have you got space in your home for these two?
How about adopting the lovely Grace, she is a sweet natured, quiet soul who cannot wait to find a new home.
When she is settled in she really enjoys nothing more than people's company and laying next to someone as they watch TV as well as getting the occassional belly rub.
Grace is looking for a nice, patient home where she can really settle in and finally call her own.
How about Milly the eight year old cat - could she be perfect for your home?
This proud feline loves to laze around in soft blankets and have the odd fuss on her terms as this particular feline likes being left to relax in peace.
Could you give this affectionate lady a new home?
How about giving Panda the ferret a new home?
She is a sweet-natured girl who can be a little bit timid but is gradually growing in confidence.
Panda ideally needs to be re-homed with a calm and patient owner who is looking to give her the home and time she deserves.
How about adopting a new best friend in Blue the dog?
He is a sweet lad who like being in the company of people and enjoying his absolutely favourite activity in chasing tennis balls around the field.
Blue can live with teenage children and potentially a calm female dog but not with cats.
Next up is this older gentleman that is Parker.
A quiet soul whose favourite things in life are food and a nice comfy blanket to nap on, being an older chap he does enjoy his own space but does like a bit of fuss and attention here and there.
Parker is looking for a patient home and can live with teenage children and possibly another cat that is used to living with other felines.
Last but certainly not least is Penelope the two-year-old cat.
When she first came into the centre she could be quite timid but since settling in she is getting more and more brave with each passing day.
Penelope is looking to live in a home with older children and without any other pets due to her timid nature.
The RSPCA assures families that all cats, dogs, ferrets and rabbits that are offered for adoption have been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.
An adoption fee of £150 for dogs, £60 for cats and £25 for rabbits and ferrets, is charged to help cover the cost of getting the animals ready for their new homes.
If you can help, call the RSPCA Suffolk East and Ipswich Branch on 0300 999 7321 9am until 4.30pm or contact them via email.

Transfer to Lower Zambezi National Park
To reach my next destination, Lower Zambezi National Park, I boarded 2 charter planes. Before taking these short flights, air sickness was foreign to me, but this day, I really regretted not taking motion sickness pills. We made a quick stop at Jeki airstrip to drop off 4 passengers and to clean up after a baby who threw up all over the back seats
A view of the Zambezi river, slightly marred by a haze created by nearby mountain fires
With no air traffic towers, pilots are responsible to ensure airstrips are in safe landing condition. Here, pilots are about to do a flyby, a pre-touchdown prerequisite to ensure airstrips are free of large debris or animals, over Royal airstrip. Once safety is confirmed, they will loop back for actual landing
Chongwe River Camp
Chongwe camp: my home for the next 4 nights. This is one of the views from the lounge area
Because the camp is located at the corner of the Zambezi River and an openining into a bayou, it is able to offer an array of water activities for their guests
Staff members in every single camp I visited treated the guests like kings and queens and kept themselves busy working long hours. The only time I saw them relax was during siesta time, the two to three hours between morning and night activities. On other side of the river lies Zimbabwe
The view of the bayou from my safari tent. Each hour, scores of mammals and hundreds of birds could be seen from this vantage point
An illegal fire on this mountain burned throughout my stay at the Chongwe. At night, we could see lines of red flames covering this mountain
Inside Tent No. 6. Throughout my stay, I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of mosquitoes in my tents (though they were plenty of other insects that kept me company)
Almost every day, I would see elephants walking past just outside my en suite
The camp tents were carefully designed, using local textile, hand-made furniture, and organic fixtures, creating an incredibly relaxing space
Termite mounds
Termite mounds were ubiquitous on safari, many massive in size. Mounds keep their shape even when they are dead. Animals will use them as a scratching post or as a perch
This wholly caper bush has sprouted from a termite mound. Because the termites dig through the mound and plant material decomposes inside it, termite soil is considered more fertile than surrounding soil. The mounds also contain more moisture, making it a perfect vessel for new vegetation
Another shy bushbuck
African elephant
A young male elephant
In general, the elephants living in the two parks I visited were relatively relaxed around humans. Outside these two areas, however, the other elephants in Zambia are said to be more skittish and nervous around us. Although I personally benefited from relaxed elephants, considering the danger they face from poachers, I do not think skittishness is a bad thing
Waterbucks and antelope
Social organization of waterbucks consists of territorial males with breeding females, nursery herds, and bachelor herds
Though formidable in size, buffaloes are usually not aggressive, unless threatened when wounded
Buffalo herd size is fluid, changing from a small herd to a herd of thousands
Greater kudu
Every time a saw a kudu, my heart skipped a beat. There is something mystical about their appearance, especially the males who fashion double-spiraled corkscrew horns
African fish eagle
The African fish eagle is the national bird of Zambia
Picnic lunch
At the Chongwe camp, lunch was mobile. This day, the three game drive vehicle reconvened at a designated location at lunch, where we were greeted by staff who had already transported and set up a fabulous picnic for us
The mobile picnic even included a sink station
It is hard to beat this view of the Zambezi river
Water transport
After lunch, instead of taking the long drive back, we took a shortcut. This is Joseph, one of Congwe's guides. Not only do the guides at Chongwe need to be experts in fauna and flora, but they must also be comfortable operating jeeps, boats, and canoes
Fellow guest Claire and Quintin, one's from California and the other's from South Africa
One of the benefits of travelling by boat
With so many hippos in the water, the driver had to be extra careful. A collision with a 4500 lb hippo can be serious, or even fatal

In a heavy-gauged pot on medium to high heat add the grapeseed oil. When a light haze rises from the pan, add all of the crab. The blue crabs contain water so you must cook them until this liquid has evaporated. Then add the butter. Allow the milk solids to fall and when the butter stops foaming add the vegetables and cook until translucent. Add the coriander seed and brown lightly. Add the tomato paste and chopped tomato and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine, scraping up any bits sticking to the pan. Add the water and chicken stock. Bring up to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Add the bay leaf and thyme cook an additional 10 minutes. Press the whole mixture into a strainer. The broth should have small pieces of the vegetables from the cooking of the crab. Check and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Divide evenly and garnish each with some of the crab, pickled ramps, sauteed shiitakes and creme fraiche.
Combine the sugar, vinegar, and water and bring to a boil. Add the mustard, coriander, fennel seeds, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Blanch and shock ramps, strain, and pour the warm pickling liquid over the ramps. Let cool and store for 3 days before using.

About Minute Maid Park
Located in downtown Houston, Minute Maid Park is home to the Houston Astros Major League Baseball team. Under the architectural design of HOK Sports Facilities Group, the idea for a new ballpark originated in 1996 with the formation of 14 Houston companies who came together to form the Houston Sports Facility Partnership. The agreement provided for $35 million loan that would be payable beginning after 10 years of ballpark operation. The total project cost, which was approved by the public in 1996, was valued at $250 million.
In 2002, the Houston Astros, along with The Minute Maid Company, announced their plan to create a long-term community partnership and marketing program. Originally known as Enron Field and Astros Field, Minute Maid Park was officially renamed in 2002 with the agreement, which included the naming rights for the new stadium.
Featuring a retractable roof, 419 Tifway Bermuda grass playing surface, seats close to the action and a capacity of over 40,000 spectators, Minute Maid Park is popular among Texans and many others. After less than a year of operation, Minute Maid Park was the recipient of three major awards, including the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance 2000 Good Brick Award, the Most Outstanding Civil Engineering Project and the National Honor Award for Engineering Excellence.
Fans who wish to become a part of Minute Maid Park, and Houston Astros, history may participate in the Commemorative Brick Program for $100.00. Interested parties can have their name set in stone at the ballpark and forever be a part of the game. Bricks can be customized with 1-3 lines of writing and 18 characters per line. Bricks will remain the property of Minute Maid Park and will be used for the park's structure.
Prior to the opening pitch, fans are welcome to seek autographs from players and coaches. From the time that the gates open, until 45 minutes before the game begins, spectators may gather at the Field Box rails from Section 111 extending to the left field foul pole and Section 127 to the right foul pole. For fans who would like to have an autograph, but cannot attend a game, fan mail is an alternate option. Letters may be directed, with indication of the players name, to: 501 Crawford, P.O. Box 288, Houston, TX 77001. Other fan memorabilia possibilities are available at Minute Maid Park, which permit spectators to keep foul and/or homerun balls, which are hit into the seating areas, as a souvenir.
Among the fanfare at Minute Maid Park is Conoco Home Run Alley, which honors eight of the greatest hitters in the history of the Houston Astros. It's here that 40 years of memories can be revisited. Homerun Porch, The Train, The World's Largest Sliding Glass Door and Tal's Hill are among the other historic sites at Minute Maid Park.

"Hansel & Gretel" captures weekend box office
Jan. 27 - The latest celebrity news including ''Hansel & Gretel's'' profitable weekend at the box office and more rewards for Ben Affleck and ''Argo.'' John Russell reports.
A grown-up "Hansel & Gretel" grabbed the weekend box office title, pulling in 19 million dollars (USD) in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales with its reinvention of the classic fairy tale characters as fierce bounty hunters. "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" knocked last weekend's winner, low-budget horror flick "Mama," into second place. "Mama" earned just under 13 million from Friday through Sunday, according to studio estimates. "Mama" features Jessica Chastain as a woman forced to take care of two orphaned nieces who have been living in the woods. The 15 million production has now earned nearly 49 million at U.S. and Canadian theaters through two weekends. Chastain also stars in "Zero Dark Thirty" in an Oscar-nominated role as a dogged CIA agent searching for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, which landed in fourth place this week. "Silver Linings Playbook," another Oscar contender, logged 10 million in sales for third place. It stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. On Saturday (January 26) the Producers Guild named "Argo" its pick for best film, adding to its honors after taking the Golden Globe for Best Dramatic film. Ben Affleck, who directed and starred in "Argo," George Clooney, and Grant Heslov were the three producers named for the honor. Ben Affleck was also honored by the Santa Barbara International Film Festival's Modern Master Award, for his contribution to film in 2012 with his direction of "Argo." Affleck's "Good Will Hunting" co-writer and good friend, Matt Damon presented him with the award. Colombian singer Shakira and her first son Milan have been discharged from hospital on Sunday (January 27). The 35-year-old singer and her boy friend Spanish footballer Gerard Pique left the Tecknon hospital with their baby in a car with blacked-out windows, sweeping past photographers and cameramen who were eagerly waiting in the parking lot.

April 2010 Rio de Janeiro floods and mudslides
This article needs to be updated.November 2010)(
|5 April – mid-April 2010
|State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
|at least 249 deaths[1][2]
|Property damage
|R$23.76 billion (est.)
The April 2010 Rio de Janeiro floods and mudslides was an extreme weather event that affected the State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in the first days of April 2010. At least 212 people died,[2][3][4] 161 people have been injured (including several rescuers),[5] while at least 15,000 people have been made homeless.[6] A further 10,000 homes are thought to be at risk from mudslides, most of them in the favelas, the shanty towns built on the hillsides above downtowns.[7][8] Damage from the flooding has been estimated at 23.76 billion reais (US$13.3bn, €9.9bn), about 8% of the gross domestic product (GDP) of Rio de Janeiro State.[9]
The flooding particularly affected the city of Rio de Janeiro, where at least 60 people died, and its surrounding area. Deaths were also been reported in the cities of Niterói (132), São Gonçalo (16), Paracambi (1), Engenheiro Paulo de Frontin (1), Magé (1), Nilópolis (1) and Petrópolis (1).[5][10] Several municipalities, including Niterói and municipalities to the east such as Maricá and Araruama, have declared states of emergency or of public calamity.[11] The Governor of Rio de Janeiro State, Sérgio Cabral, declared three days of official mourning for the dead.[11]
Heavy rain started at around 5 p.m. local time (2000 UTC) on Monday 5 April in Rio de Janeiro city, and continued for 24 hours, with a total of 28.8 cm (11½ in.) of rain falling,[10] more than was predicted for the whole of April[7] and the heaviest rainfall for thirty years.[8] The Brazilian TV station Globo said the rainfall was equivalent to 300,000 Olympic swimming pools of water.[12] There were drivers who were forced to sleep in their cars. There were also firemen who used rubber dinghies to rescue passengers from stranded buses, and shopkeepers who worked very quickly to prevent the rainfall from destroying their businesses.[12]
Rio de Janeiro mayor Eduardo Paes admitted that the city's preparedness for heavy rainfall had been "less than zero,"[10] but added "there isn't a city that wouldn't have had problems with this level of rainfall."[13]
A further landslide hit a slum in Niterói late on 7 April. It is thought to have killed at least 150.[14] Around 200 people were missing in the town as of 13 April.[2]
After nearly 300 landslides hit the area, the statue of Christ the Redeemer was cut off from traffic for the first time in history.[2]
More than 300 homes were bulldozed after the landslides, and it is estimated that close to 12,000 families will need to be relocated by 2012 due to the damage from the floods.[2]
Governmental Reaction[edit]
During this storm, "14,000 people were forced to leave their homes and seek refuge with relatives or at shelters." Over 180 mudslides occurred that Tuesday.[15] The governor of Rio advised that people stayed in their homes so that the emergency workers can "concentrate on reaching those in need."[16] The city mayor also advised that everyone sought safer ground, and if possible, stayed in their homes.[16]
On 13 April, United Press International reported on shortages of drinking water.[15] City authorities initially were not able to say when power, gas, and water supplies were going to come back on, which made the residents start complaining of the slow relief. They also blame on decades of negligence for this disaster, since Rio de Janeiro has the highest proportion of people living in poverty.[15]
Although there were many complaints, the storm itself was not "extraordinary". Rain and mudslides were common during the month of April. The President declared that "once the storm has completely receded, a new drainage system would be built." He also said that it would not affect the 2016 Olympics, since the projects involving the Olympics would take six years to complete.[15]

Resources Used for Creating the Website
If you've already checked out the rest of our website, then you've certainly noticed how much information about online casinos we have gathered. We also hope that our effort to present this information in a neat and intuitive way is more than evident. This project wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of our team of authors, but also without the people that helped us with the design and coding. Furthermore, it wouldn't have been possible without the many resources available online and the many other webmasters that create useful and informative websites on gambling-related topics. With this page, we want to give the due respect to our extended team of online casino, sports betting and bingo experts that generously share their knowledge with their community and also to the regulating bodies that keep us, online players, safe and informed.
Content, Information and Inspiration
When my mates and I first decided to create this website, we were more than confident that the realisation of the project will be a piece of cake. After all, we had a great idea, to create a sort of a Gambling Wikipedia (but with better design), and we knew we were more than knowledgeable on the subject. We even wondered how come no one has done it before and why most of the resources available online were poorly maintained, with really bad design and outdated information.
Well, as soon as we started working on the website we realised how much we had underestimated this undertaking. You really have to try and do it yourself to see how much time and effort the creation of a well-structured and researched article takes. Just for reference, the home page alone took me 5 full days to research and write. And this is just a part of the picture. Then comes the design and coding part of the puzzle.
Thankfully, we discovered some very nice websites which provided us with a lot of hard-to-find details about different gambling operators and real-money games and gave us a lot of ideas for the structure and the style of the website. We've organised these resources in three main categories: casino, sports betting and bingo resources. Depending on the category you're most interested in, you can check out which these sites are and find short reviews of them on the pages linked below:
- Casino Resources
- Sports Betting Resources
- Bingo Resources
Another great resource for our articles was the official website of the United Kingdom Gambling Commission. As it is the only organisation that can issue gambling licences in the UK, on their site you can find a lot of useful information and tips when it comes to gambling. You can also check whether a certain online casino, bingo room or sportsbook is legal and learn about how to gamble responsibly.
Other important resources for our articles were the payout reports issued by two of the major casino testing agencies in the world: eCOGRA and Gaming Laboratories International (GLI). These reports provided us with great insights about the different casino operators on the Internet and the games they provide, so that we can always recommend the best ones. Last but definitely not least, we have to say a special thanks to all our friends who shared their experiences of gambling online with us.
Undoubtedly, design is one of the major characteristics that sets apart our site from the rest. Our goal with it was to create a modern-looking website which is not only pleasing to the eye but also intuitive and functional. We took great inspiration from Microsoft's design principles and Metro design style and also from Google's Material Design. We share their believes that design is there to facilitate the comprehension of new information and enhance the overall experience of the users by providing them with visual stimuli which are meaningful and connected to the content. In order to put these principles to practice, the content and the design team worked very closely.
Just as with the design, our goal with the coding was to create well-functional and user-friendly website, while following the best practices when it comes to programming. The site is developed using HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL, which are the modern standards in the field of web development. It also uses the content management system WordPress. If you are interested in these technologies and want to learn more about web development, we advise you to check out these great developer resources:
The biggest challenge we encountered while developing the site when it comes to coding was making the site responsive, i.e. accessible on all types of devices. We were determined though to make a site which is just as functional and accessible on smartphones and tablets as it is on desktop. After all, mobile users are little by little surpassing the desktop ones and having a mobile version is a must for every modern website.

Dear Friend,
I was at a party last summer with some of my husband's co-workers – fellow engineers – discussing gardening with two of them. (Maybe I was doing more listening than talking.) My ears perked when I heard one bemoan, "The edible plants require SO much more water than the others!" The conversation continued down a different trail, but I chewed on that one remark.
You can be the judge of whether or not I've succeeded, but it's always been my intent since the birth of Look Up Sometimes to present you weekly with something edible – an appetizer – to sink the teeth of your soul into. Something that might partially fulfill a hunger in you and me to more readily glimpse and embrace God's grace.
But I'm feeling dry.
Not dry as in I don't love God or believe in Him or am having any kind of a crisis. Just dry as in I feel I haven't much to offer you. Behind the scenes, I may write nine journal entries to every one post I publish. It's a necessary work to write out ninety percent that isn't worth sharing to mine for the ten percent that is. Lately, I haven't journaled. I hold you in the highest esteem, friend, and only wish to give you my best.
However, I'm also painfully aware of my tendencies toward perfectionism – spending a lot of time to make something only a little better. (And who's to say it's even an improvement?) So I've contemplated different options. Take a break during the summer? Muscle through and risk sharing crap? Pack up shop and join the circus?
Not really any of the above. I'm excited to share with you a summer series I'm titling Tea Party Tidbits! Tea parties, to me, conjure happy, carefree, simple childhood memories. Raspberries on a plastic doll dish. Thimbles of water. A morsel of cookie. Shared laughter. Brief, but precious, connection. Tea Party Tidbits aims to accomplish the same thing: scaling back to miniature, yet still edible, posts: a quote or verse.
My goal in all this is to give room for God to slake the thirst of my parched soul, spend time with my kiddos now that they're out of school for the summer, and to immerse myself in activities that don't involve staring at a computer screen. You too? Look up sometimes?
Just as before, you always have access to me through pressing "reply" to any of my emails or leaving me a comment. I will respond. You are near-daily in my thoughts and prayers, and it would be an honor to pray specifically for any needs you feel comfortable sharing. We so need each other, don't we?
I'm excited to see how God will work through this changing of seasons!
Looking up with you,

UC- Irvine Unveils Hydrogen Fueling Station
The fueling station features non-interchangeable fueling nozzles, which reduce the potential for user error. The stand-alone dispenser features a familiar gas station-like interface designed for ease of use and safety. The station has the capacity to fill approximately five to 10 vehicles per day, depending on vehicle fuel capacity. Computerized vehicle communications help optimize the refueling process, and vehicle fill times are approximately three to six minutes.
The CHIP program is a DOE sponsored multi-year project led by Air Products to demonstrate a model of real-world hydrogen infrastructure and to acquire sufficient data to assess the feasibility of achieving some of the nation's hydrogen infrastructure goals. To accomplish this, several hydrogen fueling stations employing a variety of hydrogen production methods are planned in the greater Los Angeles area, including the station at UCI.

text: Stores Fined For Selling Recalled Children's Products CPSC Announced Settlement On Friday Dec 18, 2012 – by Counselor Retailer Bon-Ton Stores Inc. agreed last week to pay a $450,000 penalty for failing to report that it sold some children's outerwear products that contained drawstrings through the hoods. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the settlement on Friday, saying that Bon-Ton sold the recalled and defective items, and then knowingly failed to report the information, which is now against federal law. In the settlement, Bon-Ton, which is based in York, PA, denied the allegation that it knowingly violated the law. In its release about the settlement, the CPSC said that Bon-Ton was continuing to sell items that had previously been recalled due to potential strangulation hazards. "Children's upper outerwear with drawstrings, including jackets and sweatshirts, pose a strangulation hazard to children," the CPSC said in a statement. "CPSC and three U.S. importers announced recalls of children's jackets and sweatshirts with drawstrings through the hood on February 18, March 10 and May 27, 2010. Bon-Ton was a retailer of about 800 total jackets and sweatshirts in all three recalls." The CPSC has been especially diligent recently in its efforts to ensure that children's outerwear is sold without any drawstrings through hoods or around the neck. The agency began warning about drawstring dangers in the 1990s, and then in 2006 it announced that any children's outerwear item with drawstrings at the neck would be regarded as defective and presenting a substantial risk of injury. "Federal law requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to report to CPSC immediately (within 24 hours) after obtaining information reasonably supporting the conclusion that a product contains a defect that could create a substantial product hazard," the CPSC said in its latest statement on the matter.

"Run Holodeck Program 1329″… A real life holodeck?
A recent BBC News article (found Here) has video footage of a 'real life Star Trek holodeck'. Kind of.
The system shown in the video is a 360° screen used to create simulations for fire fighters. Whilst pretty cool, this technology isn't anything particularly new or really a holodeck.
What it is demonstrating though is that we're a bit closer to holographic simulations.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the holodeck is a large room that when activated, or programmed, can create life like replicas of people, places and objects, in 3D. This clip shows a bit of what the holodeck can do.
If we manage to successfully create a holodeck, or a similar holographic projection room, it will bring some massive advantages. The implications for training purposes are pretty obvious, but think about how it could also be used in terms of medicine and surgery. It has the possibility of creating extremely life-like replicas of humans that would react exactly as a real person would – provided they are programmed well enough.
The next step then would be some kind of home use, TV, films and games being a target, and then probably a mobile version – which seems to be the direction of all technology nowadays.
Over to you
- What do you think is the main advantage to the holodeck?
- What would you do with one?
- Is there any reason you disapprove of this technology?

George Karl's son, Coby, has surgery
Boise, ID (Sports Network) – Boise State guard and son of Denver Nuggets head
coach George Karl, Coby, underwent surgery on his thyroid on Monday night.
The operation was needed after doctors discovered that Coby had Papillary

deemed a success and a full recovery is expected.
"Everything went well and I plan on being back to 100 percent in a couple of

Recess Important for Children with ADHD
During recess time, children get a short respite from academic work. They have a chance to exercise and socialize with classmates. In recent years, there has been a great deal of research on the benefits of exercise, for example, it increases cognitive function and helps children pay attention. But, according to the American Association for the Child's Right to Play, 40 percent of elementary schools across the United States are opting to eliminate recess. [1] This, in part, is due to the stringent testing requirements schools face - every moment of the day is instead focused on academics so schools can improve standardized test scores. Elementary schools in low-income neighborhoods have even shorter recess times so teachers have more time to teach. In addition, holding a child back from participating in recess is often used as punishment.
The Benefits of Recess
All children, not just those with ADHD, benefit from recess, according to a policy statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) and published in the Dec. 2012 edition of Pediatrics. "Recess serves as a necessary break from the rigors of concentrated, academic challenges in the classroom. But equally important is the fact that safe and well-supervised recess offers cognitive, social, emotional and physical benefits"The APA believes that recess is a crucial and necessary component of a child's development and, as such, it should not be withheld for punitive or academic reasons." [2]
Recess for Children with ADHD
The benefits of recess may be even higher for those with ADHD. One study showed, "Results showed that levels of inappropriate behavior were consistently higher on days when participants with ADHD did not have recess, compared to days when they did have it," [3] Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale Prevention Research Center, helped develop a program called ABC for Fitness which allows for intermittent activity throughout the school day, whenever kids need a break and matches aerobic activities to age level and subject matter. After instituting the program in many schools, the developers found that those children participating in the program had significant declines in medication for ADHD and asthma. [4]
What Parents Can Do
According to the American Association for the Child's Right to Play, parents can help to advocate for recess within their school district. Some of the suggestions for parents include;
- Talk with your child, other parents and your child's teacher to find out if, when and how often the children have recess time. Ask specific questions such as if recess is held inside or outside and what is involved in the decision as to whether the children can go outside. Ask if there are situations that would prevent any children from participating in recess, such as acting out in class or not completing work.
- Get involved in your local parent association and request that their resolutions include mandatory recess during the school day. Attend school board meetings to be sure your district has recess included for every child every school day. Set up a meeting with the principal of the school to discuss your concerns.
- Provide information to school newspapers, local newspapers, radio and television studios about the importance of recess. Ask them to make the public aware of how important recess is to children's development and how it helps to improve academic performance.
- Coordinate fundraising drives, and include the children, to raise money to purchase new playground and recess equipment.
As parents of children with ADHD, you know how important exercise is. Studies have shown that symptoms of ADHD often decrease with regular exercise and time spent outdoors. If your child is being held inside during recess time for misbehaviors, chances are those misbehaviors will increase during the afternoon. If your school has simply reduced or eliminated recess time, your child's behaviors may be worse because of it. Work with your school district to make sure all children, especially those with ADHD, get to take advantage of recess time.

If you have come right here, chances are you are hunting to adjust up the appear or structure of your bathroom. You are almost certainly hunting for a quality remodel but also 1 that does not break the bank. Luckily, you have come to the appropriate location.
You'll have to install a new underlayment, but 1/4-inch plywood or cementboard is low-cost and lets you commence with a clean surface. Beginning from scratch also lets you get rid of underlayment that may possibly be water broken, which is widespread around the toilet.
if you do not want to see any individual naked the locker room is not the place for you. the objective is to alter and shower and at some point somebody is going to get naked. Actual men do not want to scurry about like school girls avoiding being observed. to solve your issue you modify at home and then you won't have to go in the locker room and see something.
One of the simplest, least expensive however most helpful additions you can make to your bathroom is the Hand Bidet Sprayer. Greater than a Bidet it requires no new plumbing, can fit in any size bathroom and really does a much better job cleaning you.
In summary, IKEA cabinets can truly pull off a high quality appear if you program it properly and take time with the assembly. They are limited in cabinet kinds and accessories, but the cash you save will let you to devote much more on countertops and lighting which actually add to a kitchen. However, if you truly want a custom kitchen with strong wood building and distinct finishes, there is no substitute for a high quality cabinet shop. Just be prepared to devote significantly a lot more.
So, coming back to the changing area scene, the strong probability is that every man who is altering in that space is the safest man about, who would be the most supportive and protective of that young girl. We only believe that pedophilia is an epidemic because the newspapers and Television tell us it is. Statistically I think, it is shown that persons (male and female!) who are really closely connected to a child are the ones most likely to abuse them.

Its Christmas door wreath time again – are you making your own or buying one off the peg? Amazingly, I've been running Christmas door wreath workshops for the last 10 years. Making a DIY door wreath has become such a ritual amongst my flower tribe. A key fixture in the run up to Christmas.
Having just read the Little book of Hygge it's endorsed my view that settling down and making time to create something with your own hands – while wearing your Christmas jumper, being with friends and enjoying mulled wine and warm mice pies – is a winning combination in terms of investing in your own wellbeing, before the drama and shopping deadlines of Christmas kick in.
Channel your inner hygge
If you'd like to arrange your own door wreath making party and channel your inner hygge these are my ingredients for success.
- 1. Chose a venue you're comfortable in.
- 2. Get the lighting right – you might need full beam while you're creating – but switch to dimmed pools of light (and candles) to relax afterwards. Use unscented candles – so the fragrance of your fresh pine, cinnamon sticks and orange slices have a chance to shine through.
- 3. Stock up on warming drinks – whether that be mulled wine or hot chocolate with all the trimmings.
- 4. Take time after you've created your door wreath to sit, and notice. Turn off your phone. Be in the moment. There'll be plenty of time for photographing your creation once it's on your own front door.
Ingredients for your door wreath
You don't need to spend an awful lot of money to create the most amazing door wreath. The task will be even easier if you can take trimmings from the base of your Christmas tree – or have a garden to raid. Choose long-lasting robust greenery – like berried ivy or bay. Alison Marsden from Gardening by Design recommends using Skimmia japonica. She told me that the most common evergreen version has clusters of bright red, round berries that are much better than holly for adding to wreaths and other decorations as they have decent length of stalk.
I like to make my door wreaths using 30cm wire frames. You can decide how big you want your door wreath to be by cutting shorter - or longer - lengths of greenery. You can buy individual frames here – or if you're having a party - packs of 20.
The next step is to bind your wreath frame with moss. You'll probably be able to buy moss from your local garden centre – it's used for lining hanging baskets. Or if that sounds like too much trouble, you could use lots of conifer (leylandii) to pack out your wreath frame and give it a rounded profile. And add substance to wire in any decorations you might want to incorporate.
I use a mossing wire to attach the moss/conifer. You can buy single reels here – or in quantities of up to 20 reels at a time.
Once you've bound your moss onto your frame you can think about adding your greenery. Take small bundles and bind them into your frame. Attach the next bundle so the tips of your greenery cover the stems of the previous bundle. You'll need to fan out your greenery to make sure it covers the wreath frame. Once you've added a complete circle of greenery you'll need to tuck the stems of your last bundle of green under the tips of the first bunch.
You'll need some floristry wires to add in your decorations. I like to use a 20 gauge/0.90mm wire to attach pine cones, oranges slices and faux berries.
Your front door
If you're making a door wreath this year I'd love to see how you get on – why not post a photo of it online with the hashtag #winterdoor and I'll come and find you.

Mega Man Universe (メガマンユニバース) was a video game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that was planned to be released in spring 2011. The game would feature a multitude of new options and characters, most heavily based on Mega Man 2. On March 31, 2011, Capcom announced its cancellation on the game's official website.[1]
- "We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe. This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they'll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true."
- —Keiji Inafune
A teaser trailer revealing the game was shown in July 16, 2010. The teaser shows a kid sleeping in his room, then his alarm clock turned from 1:31 AM to 20:XX. The kid wakes up to see nine arcade machines turn on before him, and Mega Man teleports on an arcade machine and started to fight an army of enemies (Tellies, Mets, Moles and Prop-Tops, one type of enemy at a time), using Cut Man's Rolling Cutter and transforming into Ryu (from the Street Fighter series) and then Arthur (from the Ghosts 'n Goblins series) during the battle. After destroying one Prop-Top, Arthur falls backwards and turns back into Mega Man and then into his 8-bit appearance. An army of Prop-Tops, Tellies and Mets begin to approach Mega Man and then he blasts them with a large Charge Shot. The kid's alarm clock turns from 20XX to 1:31 AM and he is back to sleep. Then the old yellow and blue Mega Man that was featured on the American box art of the first Mega Man game appears from behind a toy robot and slips on a toy car, falling backwards and exploding.
Gameplay Trailers
On September 2, 2010 (one day before PAX Prime opened), Capcom sent out three separate trailers to 1UP, IGN, and GameSpot. While they began and ended the same way, three different forms of Mega Man (Mega Man himself, his classic Rockman appearance, and the "Bad Box Art Mega Man"), playing through roughly exactly the same stages, made up the center. The trailers confirm a 2.5D platformer in the vein of Mega Man Powered Up with old robot enemies, old Robot Master powers like Quick Boomerang, Metal Blade and Air Shooter, and other features present in previous games, 8-bit 1-UPs and E-Tanks. A HUD comprising of E-Tank and 1-UP amounts, what power you have enabled (Buster Shot being the default), the player's health, and (assumed) boss health. The ending teases a playable Ryu, "No Way!!" as the trailers state. The next day a video with the three gameplays combined was added on the official site. Capcom revealed at the Penny Arcade Expo that besides the appearance, each Mega Men will have different play styles and abilities. For instance, the Bad Box Art Mega Man can only fire two shots at time unlike the usual three.
Tokyo Game Show
A few days before and during the Tokyo Game Show 2010, Capcom revealed that the game will feature a character customization system and a stage editor. For the character customization, Capcom gave as example Chop Man (チョップマン, a character with Mega Man's head, Metal Man's body and arms, and Quick Man's legs), Metto Man (メットマン, a character with a Mettool head, Bubble Man's body, Air Man's legs, and Wood Man's arms) and Gust Man (ガストマン, a character with Mega Man's body, Rockman's head, Air Man's arms and Metal Man's legs). Each character was to have different stats like life energy, weapon energy, speed, and jump height. The game was also intended to feature downloadable content, Megapin being the first DLC character revealed.
Since the Tokyo Game Show 2010 in October, several months passed with Capcom delivering no further news regarding the game. In December and February, the game was said to be still in development and had undergone changes.[2][3] However, on March 31, 2011, Capcom left a notice apologizing that the game's development was cancelled for various reasons.[1] While no reason was given, it's believed that the game was cancelled either due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which caused many games to be delayed or cancelled,[4] or due to the strong negative feedback, mainly regarding the game's different art style.
Playable characters
These characters were confirmed to appear in the game.
- Mega Man (New appearance made for Mega Man Universe)
- Rockman (His original Japanese appearance from the Mega Man series)
- Bad Box Art Mega Man (Based on the North American box art of the original Mega Man game)
- Ryu (from Street Fighter series)
- Arthur (from Ghosts 'n Goblins series)
- Megapin (Gachapin, DLC character)[5]

Snitterfield CC hosted the first-ever Cotswold Hills League meeting between Norton Lindsey & Wolverton and Warwick and it ended with a 13-run win for the promotion-chasing visitors.
After Warwick were put in to bat, opener Sanjiv Patel (15) was keen to push the score but tried one too many expansive shots and was well caught at cover by Steve Dellow off Varun Goel.
John Maundrell then joined the attack and removed number three Owen Griffiths (9) when he stepped inside a straight one and was bowled.
At the other end, Dellow bowled a tight line, conceding only 22 runs from his ten overs and counting top scorer Vikas Sangwan (22) among his three victims.
Harrison Williams (19) batted very tidily to hold the middle order together but when veterans Tim Fell and Bob Penrose got to work with the ball, things rapidly fell apart as they took two wickets each.
Skipper Martin Hall returned to finish things off in the 37th over to leave the final score on 115.
The solid performance in the field had given Norton with a real chance of an upset. However, Warwick rose to the occasion, with all their bowlers returning economical spells.
After opener Nils Purser (2) was harshly adjudged lbw, number two Stuart Prout-Richardson (29) top-scored with the bat.
He was denied the opportunity of a much more valuable return when he damaged knee ligaments early on, restricting his ability to score.
The reply then crawled along as no other batsmen reached double figures, with 36 extras flattering Norton's final score of 102.
Youngster Harrison Williams returned the best figures of three for 15 off his ten overs, closely followed by Steve Webb's 10-3-17-2.
The Cotswold Hill Premier Division season is heading for an exciting finish with three teams separated by just 11 points in the race for the title.
Norton Lindsey & Wolverton strengthened their position in third place, edging to within five points of Exhall & Wixford courtesy an emphatic victory at Tanworth and Camp Hill.
Returning to the skipper's role after an operation, James Pyatt won the toss and decided to bat which proved a brave decision on a soft pitch which looked to be the most challenging of the season so far.
That proved to be the case as openers Martin Perfect (9) and Steve Rushton (0) fell early to leave the score on 13 for two at the end of the fourth over.
Richard Pozzi (42) and Stuart Shephard (29) then grafted hard and pushed the score to 68 before the third wicket fell.
Further good work from Conor Green (30) and Pyatt (50) dragged the numbers further towards respectability.
Just before the break, the Norton captain was removed as the opening bowlers returned to finish their overs.
Three more wickets fell in the final balls, including a run out, and Norton scrambled to 183 for eight, leaving Banks with fine figures of four for 34, ably supported by Turnbull whose full spell cost just 24 runs.
It was considered a respectable total on a difficult wicket and the visitors decided to play the waiting game, bowling tight and pouncing on mistakes.
This proved to be the way to go and with Norton Lindsey holding all their catches, they worked their way through the order as all the bowlers tasted success.
Pozzi started the rot with an unplayable delivery that removed the off stump of Tanworth opener Turnbull and the home side never recovered.
The innings ended on 107 with Norton gaining a valuable two extra points for a sub-120 dismissal.
Pyatt commented: "The team did well with the bat on a tough pitch, with everyone chipping in. Same with the ball and it was great team performance."
Norton host Leamington 3rds tomorrow confident they can keep the pressure on at the top of the table.
Runaway Division Three leaders Dorridge & Hockley Heath were made to work hard to secure a two-wicket win at Norton's second string.
Home skipper Dan Fell (41) won the toss and opted to bat first, opening the innings with Mark White (28).
The pair succeeded in seeing off the new ball and had reached 72 in the 15th over when Fell was removed trying to capitalise as change bowler Moeen struggled to settle.
The middle order then gathered some momentum and drove the score up towards the 200-mark, with good contributions from Kieran Kite (27), Charles Tustain (33) and Ian Baber (22 not out).
Two quick wickets at the end of the innings left Norton on 201 for nine.
After tea, Waquas and Barker (21) made a good start to the reply against tight spells from Steve Bliwert and Steve Webber, reaching 65 before they were separated by Kite in his first over.
A tight five-over spell for 11 runs from Rory Baker kept the scoring rate under control and as Dorridge reached three figures in the 25th over, Tom de Freston dismissed opener Waquas for 58 to keep the pressure on.
Kite took his second wicket soon after, as Irfan went for 30 but Zaman (35 not out) and Singh (27) kept up with required rate with an imaginative mixture of caution and outright slogging.
Webber (3-38) and Bliwert returned for their final spells and within four overs, four wickets fell to leave the visitors eight down and wobbling.
However, it was too little too late and number ten Satty swung the bat effectively in the gathering gloom as Dorridge reached their target in the penultimate over.

Sandra (13) and Mart (12) have known each other since their adolescent years. They first meet in 2007 when Sandra spent her summer vacation in Tondo where Mart resides. They soon start their bond as childhood friends - enjoying playing patintero, badminton, and biking along with their other neighbors in the street. Eventually, they develop romantic feelings as they get closer with each other, leading them to becoming a couple. In 2009, Sandra does not spend her vacation in Tondo anymore because her grandmother moved to Bulacan. Thankfully, she and Mart manage to keep their relationship blooming with constant communication. However, their relationship as teenagers becomes shaky when Mart (15) is not able to do his responsibility as a boyfriend. He starts to lose focus and enjoy his teenage days, playing basketball and computer games, so Sandra (16) becomes unhappy with the little attention she gets. One day, Sandra confronts him about it and Mart, not wanting to engage emotionally, ignores her and gives her the cold shoulder. Realizing that Mart is not in love with her anymore, Sandra leaves him with a letter professing her love and her willingness to wait. It is only a few years after when Mart reads the note, coinciding with his desire to connect with Sandra because he had been missing her for a long time. He reaches out to her on social media, and it leads to another chapter in their lives as a couple. Mart (early 20s) and Sandra (early 20s) believe that they are destined for each other. They realized that just because it was not true when they were younger, it does not mean it would not be at another time in their lives.

Called the YAPE, which stands for "Your Autonomous Pony Express," the two-wheeled, self-balancing delivery robot will only accept and relinquish cargo after verifying the user's identity through facial recognition.
Using an accompanying smartphone app, users who are registered with the YAPE delivery system can summon the nearest drone. The drone scans their face to identify them, then the lid on the top unlocks so the sender can add their item. The maximum weight it can handle is 154 pounds, and it can go 50 miles per charge. It has a maximum speed of 3.7 mph on sidewalks and 12.4 mph on bike paths. The recipient, who must also be registered with the system, will receive a notification via their smartphone when the drone arrives.
YAPE was developed by e-novia, based in Italy, and is capable of navigating through cities using a combination of GPS, cameras and range-finding lasers. It is able to avoid obstacles such as pedestrians, potholes and cars. It can also connect wirelessly to sensors throughout the city that feed it live traffic information in order to help it navigate safely.
YAPE will be on display at CES in Las Vegas next month.
