A Missouri House attorney is warning lawmakers to look out for bribery attempts after a recent email from a solar power company official offered donations while referencing legislation.
The email, provided to The Associated Press, was sent to legislators by Serra-Lesa Ivener, the Missouri president for Hog Power Energy. She wrote that she's making a list of pro-solar lawmakers for campaign donations and asked how they would vote on a bill to impose fees on people who generate their own solar energy. Hog Power Energy sells solar power equipment.
House counsel David Welch wrote in the email that such messages constitute "an offer of a benefit to a public servant in return for their vote on specific legislation and is a violation" of state bribery laws. He recommended lawmakers refuse donations.
Ivener told AP on Wednesday that she's not attorney, didn't hire lobbyists and doesn't know the rules.
"I am just an average Missouri constituent," Ivener said. "I don't know how else to get the attention of the Missouri Legislature. I don't have time to go down to (Jefferson) City to go knock on everybody's door."
Ivener said she hasn't cut any checks yet and doubts she will now. But she said some lawmakers told her they oppose the bill, and one asked her for a job.
The bill at hand passed the House 102-51 Monday. It's pending in the Senate.

Mr. Clinton and the Tycoon
FRANK GIUSTRA is a Canadian mining tycoon who has given generously -- more than $130 million -- to support the charitable enterprises of former president Bill Clinton. Mr. Giustra's good works alongside Mr. Clinton may also have been good business. As the New York Times detailed in a front-page story last week, Mr. Giustra traveled with the former president in September 2005 to Kazakhstan, where Mr. Clinton announced an agreement to let that nation purchase discounted AIDS drugs and where he attended a midnight banquet with Kazakh strongman Nursultan Nazarbayev. Although he met with Kazakh dissidents, Mr. Clinton praised Mr. Nazarbayev for "opening up the social and political life of your country." And, in contrast to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's previously expressed reservations, Mr. Clinton embraced Kazakhstan's bid to head the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which works to promote human rights and fair elections, two characteristics that Mr. Nazarbayev's regime has been sorely lacking.
Within a few days, Mr. Giustra had in hand preliminary agreements giving his company the right to buy into uranium projects controlled by Kazatomprom, the state-owned uranium agency; Mr. Giustra had longtime business dealings in Kazakhstan but was a new player in uranium mining. And within several months, Mr. Giustra had pledged another $31.3 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation, adding to his previous $100 million donation.
The president and the businessman insist that these events are unconnected. Mr. Clinton knew of Mr. Giustra's mining interests in Kazakhstan but was "unaware of 'any particular efforts,' " a Clinton spokesman told the Times. Mr. Giustra told the paper that there had been "no discussion" of the deal with Mr. Nazarbayev or Mr. Clinton. But Kazatomprom's president said otherwise: Mr. Giustra discussed his proposal directly with the Kazakh president -- and his relationship with Mr. Clinton "of course made an impression."
Mr. Clinton may not be the only former president who's engaged in cozy back-scratching with self-interested businessmen and distasteful regimes. But he's the only former president who's married to someone who wants to be the next president. The Times story underscores the potential problems this could create. Among others, Mr. Clinton has said he would continue raising money for his foundation if his wife were elected president. This strikes us as a bad idea, one fraught with possibilities for conflicts of interest and questionable efforts to curry favor. Certainly, if Ms. Clinton is elected president and her husband continues the operations of his foundation, its finances must be made transparent to protect against any such abuses; Mr. Clinton has promised to reveal the names of his donors "going forward" if his wife is elected, which the Clinton campaign says is more than other presidential spouses have done with their much smaller foundations. But efforts at greater disclosure are warranted under these unique circumstances. And Ms. Clinton must make clear that her husband's foreign policy free-lancing -- whether or not it intersects with the interests of his big givers -- will have no place in a third Clinton administration.

|Let the memory of Michael (Mikey) be with us forever
"Remembering Mikey on his 14th birthday.
"Thinking of you, Tessa."
"Love and miss you everyday baby boy♡♡
Send momma some love today ok...."
"Same as always. miss you. .I just do"
"Thinking of you, Tessa! Mikey was such a fun boy!"
"Mikey was a wonderful boy that God shared with you for such a short time. Embrace all those wonderful memories and know that Mikey is smiling down from heaven today to help you through this difficult day.. Linda"
"Happy Birthday, Mikey. Your second birthday in heaven. A memorial birthday wish to you. Thinking of your mom today too. Be strong Tessa he is right there in your heart. Embrace those wonderful memories.
"R.I.P. Trooper, you are so missed"
"I miss YOU........i just do ♡♡♡♡"
"My deepest condolence to the loved ones of Michael R.I.P MICHAEL...
"Tessa, my condolences go out to you, your family and friends. I am so sorry to read about the passing of your son. From reading about him I can tell he was a sweet little boy and I know he is missed and loved by many. No matter what, it can truly be said that death is an enemy and soon it will be brought to nothing (1Cor. 15:26). I have found much comfort in the Bibles promise of a resurrection hope of our loved ones at John 5:28, 29 and hope you will too. Death was never a part of Gods original purpose, in fact he yearns to soon bring an end to it and the suffering it causes your family and friends. Revelation 21:4 states: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." I did not know Michael, but I read his obituary and I hope these scriptures will help to bring some comfort knowing that others care. If you would like to learn more about the Bibles promises and the hope it brings, please feel free to contact me."
"Tessa, I tried to reach you yesterday, but I'm not sure if I have the correct phone #.
"I miss your contagious smile and laughter. Our little visits always made me smile. I am grateful that I had a chance to get to know you. I know that you are resting well with the Angels."
"Ill alway love you, & i couldnt be more proud of you if i tried."
"i feel so fortunate to have you for a son i love your bright face when we talk seriously about the world i love your smile when you laugh at the inconsistencies in the world i love your eyes when you are showing emotion i love your mind when you are discovering new ideas & creating dreams to follow many people tell me that they cannot talk to their children that they cannot wait for them to leave home i want you to know that i enjoy you so much & i look forward to any time we can spend together not only are you my adored son but you are also my friend i am so proud of you & i love you"
"We are all thinking of you as we approach the anniversary of Mikey's death. Wishing you strength and peace, Leah"
"everywhere you journey in life, you will go with my love by your side. forever it will be with you. truly, joyfully, & more meant to be than words could ever say. you are the joy of my life, the source of m dearest memories, the inspiration for my fondest wishes, & the sweetest present life could ever give to anyone"

Personalize your health and wellness to help meet your goals
(BPT) - When it comes to heath and wellness, nearly 73 percent of Americans are trying to take better care of their health today than just a few years ago, yet 49 percent find that other things take priority. However, experts say the more you customize your wellness plan for your personal needs and style, the more likely you'll support your fitness and health goals.
Here are some tips for creating a custom plan to get fit and feel fabulous.
Stay hydrated. One of the most important aspects of healthy physical activity is proper hydration. Drinking fluids before, during and after physical activity is vital to provide your body the fluids it needs to perform properly, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Instead of bringing money for the soda machine or coffee shop, bring fresh, ice cold water or caffeine-free liquids with you in an insulated, reusable container. Need help tracking your water intake? There are water bottles and apps that can calculate and track your personal hydration needs.
Opt for healthier, whole, portable foods. Do your body a favor and hit the farmers market or head to your grocer's produce section to stock up on apples, bananas and berries, as well as veggies like carrots and broccoli to cut up and take with you. When purchasing other snack products, look for foods made with no artificial colors, flavors, colors, sweeteners or GMO-added ingredients, and opt instead for items made with whole grains, fiber and protein.
Get proper sports nutrition. While eating healthfully is key, 90 percent of Americans don't meet the recommended daily intake for vitamins and minerals from food consumption alone, according to a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, so sports nutrition supplements can help fill the gaps and help your body perform at its best.
Personalize your physical fitness. Functional training and small group fitness are on-trend right now. This more personalized style of training helps you customize workouts based on your current level of strength and endurance and help prevent injury versus big group, one-size-fits-all training.
Technology can help. If scheduling fitness into your day sounds impossible, try letting your phone or computer remind you to stretch or get up from your desk. Create a custom playlist to help motivate you and vary your exercises to avoid becoming bored with your workout. Or use wearable fitness technology to track your wellness goals.
Get plenty of sleep. Your body needs sufficient rest to recuperate from your day and refresh its energy for the next. So go ahead and enjoy gazing at the stars – but be sure to get to bed on time, so you're in tip-top shape for tomorrow.

Extremists have lost touch with local ideals
An editorial by U.S. Representative Jack Kingston
Washington, Dec 5 -
"Scoop" Jackson must be spinning in his grave. As a military hawk, the late Democratic senator would be shocked by his national party today. Enticed by fresh polling numbers and the rhetoric of Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan, the far-left wing of the Democratic Party has sought to establish a new position for itself on Iraq and the war on terrorism, which encourages our enemies and threatens the morale of our troops.
Their unhinging began when a newspaper reported that Democratic leader Howard Dean was so "anxious to make political capital of the tragedy of the 2,000th American death in Iraq that he couldn't even wait for the official announcement of the soldier's death before publicly criticizing President Bush and the war." Over the past few weeks, these Democrats have tried to revise history and paint the president as a "liar" for drawing the exact same prewar intelligence conclusions they did.
The realization that the radical left has completely hijacked the Democratic Party boiled over when Democratic Rep. Jack Murtha, a well-known defense-hawk, called for our troops in the field to admit defeat and come home. In fact, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has already wrapped her arms around the cut-and-run proposal.
This is the latest example of a national party which has lost touch with the hometown Democrats and has been overcome by antiwar extremists, providing daily fodder to international media outlets like Al Jazeera, which emboldens our enemies and sends a defeatist message to our troops.
Extremists in the Democratic Party have embraced a new strategy for the war on terrorism: Lose, leave and wait. These Democrats want to admit defeat, dishonoring the sacrifices of our soldiers. They want us to leave by cutting and running, signaling to the world that the United States no longer stands for freedom, democracy and the defense of human rights in the face of terrorism. And instead, these Democrats prefer the French model to wait for the terrorists to bring murder and destruction to the homefront.
This week, I traveled to Iraq as part of a bipartisan delegation to gauge the morale of our troops, talk with the officers and soldiers about the war, and witness the progress in Iraq and that of the Iraqi people. The bottom line: The war in Iraq is a much different war than the one we read about in the media. Progress is being made.
I represent the first district of Georgia, which has five major military installations, including Fort Stewart, the home of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division. The 3rd ID is currently responsible for maintaining order and defeating the insurgency in Baghdad and is led by Army Maj. Gen. William Webster, a friend of mine.
In Baghdad, I met with Maj. Gen. Webster, where he informed me that over 50 percent of the security in the capital city of Iraq is being done by Iraqi forces. Further, while in Mosul, the general reported that over 25 percent of the security is being conducted by Iraqis.
In addition to the 212,000 Iraqi Security Force members that are already on the ground, coalition forces are training 9,000 Iraqis to be soldiers and more than 10,000 citizens are signed up to be the next batch of Iraqi soldiers as soon as spots are available.
Iraq is also moving toward the establishment of a democratic government. On Oct. 15, the Iraqi people approved their first democratic Constitution with over 60 percent voter participation. And on December 15, the Iraqis will elect the first democratic parliament in the region. More than 228 political parties have emerged and put forth candidates to fill the 275-seat Council of Representatives.
We have also made significant progress in helping Iraq improve essential services such as stable electricity, cleaner water, operational hospitals, better schools, improved sanitation and a working transportation infrastructure.
The generals and troops made one point clear: We cannot set arbitrary withdrawal timelines. The extremists' call for withdrawal sends the wrong message to terrorists that America is a paper tiger with a glass jaw. We owe it to the Iraqi people to be resolute and to continue our tremendous progress there.
In the next year, we may reduce the number of troops stationed in and around Iraq. And in the next six months, instead of withdrawal, our troops will be able to take a step back as the Iraqi forces continue to step forward. But our troops will be the first to tell you that their mission ends only with victory and not a day sooner.
In closing, Maj. Gen. Webster reminds us that, "Our troops are trying to get this accomplished. They believe they're doing the right thing. The soldiers believe they're helping."
So does America.
Rep. Jack Kingston is a member of the Defense Appropriations Committee and vice chairman of the House Republican Conference.


text: So i secretary this thursday night meeting in my hometown. I asked some guy to come down and chair the meeting (its a speaker discussion). I'm waiting in the room at about 7:55 and the first person shows up. By 8:00 it is me and one other guy in the meeting... still no sign of my chairperson. Then so we do all the readings, all the jibba jabba, by this time about 12 people showed up. It was time to have my speaker speak, but he still wasnt' there, so i asked someone to be my backup chairperson. This individual declines, but my sponsor gets up to fill in. The GSR gets really irritated, but im like whatever, what are you gonna do? Anyways so he shares, and then he makes it a tag meeting and calls on the GSR who spouts off a bunch of retarded useless crap for about 15 minutes (we don't set max sharing guidelines in the format... ) and he talks about how he was secretary for a year and blah blah (secretary positions in the greater san jose area are 6 months. no more, no less). He tags someone, who tags someone, and eventually it ends up on this kid who gets up all sheepishly to share, and talks about how he's been clean from crystal meth and alcohol, but can't seem to stop smoking weed and feels like an idiot, etc. So the GSR pleasantly tells him to sit the fuck down because he has less than 24 hours clean... well 1) its only an advisory to those with less than 24 hours clean 2) he didn't explicitly say he has less than 24 hours clean 3) its the secretarys job to maintain order... So then the meeting disintegrates quickly as this guy sits down all sheepishly, it turns into a huge argument. People are like 'i don't care if he has less than 24 hours, this may keep him clean, he's being honest, blah blah' then other people argue the opposite case, and etc etc... it goes to shit really quickly. Mind you - my day is going pretty mediocre anyways, I got sunburned while trying to mow, my shirt looked like crap, it was all wrinkled and had a pink fruit punch stain on it, i had been up since 5:30 am, etc etc. then AFTER the meeting i get yelled at from opposing sides, so i had to make my statement that it was my discretion and he didn't specifically say he had less than 24 hours; it was implied after he sat down, but thats like ex post facto or something, anyways. Then i had to dump the coffee perc by myself after someone had emptied the trash so im wobbling around with a pot of hot coffee all the way to the fucking dumpster. OH... and when it was dead silent before all the shit went down, i looked at my sponsor and i was like 'hey did you pick a topic' and he was like 'you're gay.' im not gay, but wtf am i supposed to say? everyone was like just looking at me as i was like 'uhhhh'. He was just trying to fuck with me i guess. I dunno. Weird. Let's see... what else. Well I guess thats pretty much it.

Melbourne, February 19 (ANI): Facebook is trying to woo back abandoning members after it made changes to its user Terms of Service (TOS) that have now been reversed.
The social-networking giant had come under fire after Consumer advocacy blog The Consumerist reported that the revised policy allowed the website to hold a perpetual license to use its members' uploaded content to promote itself, even after their accounts had been deleted.
Following the firestorm, the free-access site is now displaying an apology for the reorganized TOS, saying the changes made were a "mistake".
Facebook further assured its users that they held the ownership of material posted by them, reports News.com.au.
The Facebook Team message read: "Are you deleting because you are concerned about Facebook's Terms of Service?
"This was a mistake that we have now corrected. You own the information you put on Facebook and you control what happens to it.
"We are sorry for the confusion."
The apology further redirects members to founder Mark Zuckberg's announcement that the controversial revisions had been dropped.
It said: "Over the past couple of days, we received a lot of questions and comments about the changes and what they mean for people and their information.
"Based on this feedback, we have decided to return to our previous terms of use while we resolve the issues that people have raised." (ANI)

Actress Sunaina, has an interesting role to play in her forthcoming movie Mike Set Pandi. The film helmed by Rasu Madhuravan of 'Mayandi Kudumbathar' fame has Sabarish in the male lead. It is learnt that Sunaina's role in the movie will be on the lines of blockbuster hit Chinna Thambi.
The Kushboo's starrer had the actress play the only sister to her over protective four brothers. Likely so, Mike Set Pandi has Deva, Pandian, Veerasamar, Nagendran, Madurai Market Muthu and Pasumpon Suresh playing the 6 pack of brothers. Shooting for the film in Dindugal presently, hero Sabarish ( son of popular stunt choreographer 'FEFSI' Vijayan) is putting in his best, to get his second innings off to a flying start. Sabarish will have to deal with Sunaina's 6 brothers, before he gets any sort of approval. Mike Set Pandi will be a total family entertainer for the actress.Produced by Nesika Thiraiarangam, music for the film is composed byKavi Periya Thambi.Heroine Sunaina recently replaced Bindu Madhavi in director Seenu Ramaswamy' potential offering Neerparavaigal and will also be sharing screen space with Vishal and Trish for Samaran. Will Mike Set Pandi set new records at the box office, just like the Kushboo hit?

Spiritualized : Dublin Vicar Street : Monday 8 September
This could be one of the tours of the year.
Jason Pierce is sitting down. He's on a stool, stage right, where he usually stands. And it's very unnerving.
This is the first night of his back-to-basics tour. This is the tour that will see choirs, strings, brass sections and kitchen sinks – all the overblown extravagances of last album 'Let It Come Down' – replaced with no-messing garage rock. Gone are the violas, harps and oboes, expunged in favour of the sort of glorious drone Pierce perfected in the '80s with old band Spacemen 3 and replicated on new album 'Amazing Grace'. Still, there is no precedent for sitting down at a garage rock show. It jars.
It's a crying shame, because Spiritualized have never sounded better. This is a run through old hits from early days – the white incessant drive of 'Electric Mainline', the loving Velvets pastiche of 'Run' – and through the choice cuts of 'Amazing Grace'. There is no flab, no filler. Throughout his career, Pierce has been trying to write the perfect hymn. Every album has a 'Broken Heart'. Tonight, 'Hold On' has the power of a classic spiritual. It's tender and heartbreaking, with Pierce's cracked vocals ready to falter at any minute. You could easily hear soul shouter Solomn Burke giving it some treatment. And Burke likes sitting down too – except he weighs 20 stone and rests on a reinforced throne.
It also looks dazzling. Tonight, light pulses, whirls and reaches a suffocating climax with set-closing 'Smile' – a dramatic mixture of strobes and white noise. It'll be hard to beat that at any show this year. But Pierce's refusal to get on his feet, like he's fighting the sheer force of his own creation, limits its power. This isn't petty bellyaching. Pierce is one of the most important songwriters Britain has. This could be one of the tours of the year. He's just got to stand up and face the music.

SANTIAGO, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Chile's securities regulator on Friday formally accused some of the country's largest brokerages of breach of regulations in an ongoing investigation into market manipulation linked to trading in fertilizer group SQM and its holding companies.
Regulator SVS has been probing trades at LarrainVial SA Corredora de Bolsa; Banchile Corredores de Bolsa SA, a unit of Banco de Chile ; Citigroup Global Markets and Linzor Asset Management, now called CHL Asset Management Chile.
The case "revolves around the supposed responsibility of different entities and persons in market operations between the years 2009, 2010 and 2011, which would have affected the normal functioning of the stock market," the SVS said.
The companies and individuals accused by the SVS have up to 20 days to respond. After that, the regulator will decide either to apply sanctions or drop the charges.
In September, the regulator accused Julio Ponce, SQM's chairman and the former son-in-law of the late dictator Augusto Pinochet, of buying up shares below market prices and then reselling them at above-market prices.
Among other things, the brokerages are being investigated for allegedly breaking the law that states "no person shall carry out transactions or encourage or try to encourage the purchase or sale of stocks by way of any deceitful or fraudulent act, practice, mechanism or scheme."
LarrainVial and its executives, including chairman Leonidas Vial and the head of the company's brokerage, Manuel Bulnes, bore the brunt of the regulator's accusations.
LarrainVial said the accusations will give them the opportunity to "defend the total innocence of the company and its executives."
"As we've insisted from day one, neither LarrainVial nor its executives have been part of a supposed scheme to benefit or hurt any investor," the firm said, adding it would continue to collaborate with authorities in the investigation.
Banchile Corredores de Bolsa, whose former head of investments Cristian Araya is under investigation, said its lawyers were reviewing the accusations and preparing a defense to show the company acted correctly.
Chairman Ponce controls SQM through his ownership in holding companies Potasios, Norte Grande, Oro Blanco and Pampa Calichera .
LQ Inversiones Financieras, made up of the wealthy Chilean Luksic family's Quinenco SA holding group and Citigroup Inc, has a roughly 51 percent stake in Banco de Chile.

From the earliest times, shrewd sailors realised that, by branching out as government agents, privateers or freelance plunderers, they could make more than just a living. Nautical Scots played a part in the Golde

I get quite a few requests for corsette, panties and bra cookies for bachelorette parties. They are cute, yummy and surprisingly easy to make!
Are you ready for the simple solution for creating the perfect shape for panties and bras? Okay, take a heart shaped cookie cutter and turn it upside down and chop the point off. Done!
It's surprising how cookie cutters can be used for many different purposes. Who would have thought a heart shaped cookie cutter would be used like this?
Don't forget to individually wrap the cookies with a beautiful bow.

Map: Ginninderra parkrun 5km course (RunningAHEAD map)
Useful waypoints/distance/km markers (when you run without a GPS like I do):
250m: just before the last BBQ & shelter on the left, in that little path 'triangle'
500m: at a high point, just before the path turns right 60º towards Kangara village (for the 2nd time)
1km: just before the 3rd lightpole on the bridge
2km: just before the apex of the peninsula (and a little after the "fishing point" and park bench)
2.5km (halfway): just inside the trees on the climb before the first big right turn
3km: where the path begins to curve left just before the toilet block on the right
4km: halfway between the 1st and 2nd lightpoles on the bridge
4.5km (500m to go): where the path curves right, away from Kangara village (faint track continues straight)
4.8km (200m/finishing straight): lightpole on left just before park bench, before BBQ shelter on right
5km: Finished!
I'm looking at rental properties in Canberra with some of my friends. These links should help us keep on top of the search:
- Belconnen | beds>=3 | <$450
- Inner North | beds>=3 | <$450
- Inner North | beds>=4 | <$600
- Northside | beds>=4 | <$600
- Northside | beds>=5
- Northside | beds>=3 | age<=3
- Northside | beds>=3 | age<=7
- Northside | beds=2 | age<=7
Northside is both Belconnen (actdis=1001) and the Inner North (actdis=1009).
The age parameter (agelimit) specifies how many days ago the ad was placed on the site.
God often picks interesting tools for teaching us things. Like mountain bikes. Many of you would know I had a pretty serious crash just before Christmas last year which landed me in hospital for a few days (another story in itself). Thank you to all my wonderful friends for your love and support in that difficult time! But what I want to talk about just now is the more recent theft and recovery of my new bike…
I'm sorry I didn't reply to each of your messages of sympathy and encouragement. I'm thinking this post might be the next best thing ;)
Contrary to what some expected (and hoped), the crash didn't exactly dissipate my enthusiasm for mountain biking. It didn't take long for me to get restless, so about three months ago I went out and bought an expensive new bike – mean, light, and fast – and STRONG, I didn't want this one breaking on me ;)
I brought the bike home, and installed her at the foot of my bed. Yes, installed is the right word, for I never seemed to have time to ride it. I bought this bike strictly for off-road use – for weekend rides, for cross-country racing, for having fun – not for riding round town. We ventured out together only a couple of times in the next couple of months. Then my other bike, a speedy and reliable road commuter, decided to snap a couple of spokes, and so I coaxed out my black and green machine to take me to uni. She obliged, quite happy for a stretch of the, er, wheels, and comfortably secure in the Engineering bike cage during the day.
On Friday [1] I got careless.
#1: I broke my rule that we would only ride straight to uni and back home again. I wanted to stop by some shops in Belconnen, so I said "It'll be OK, I'll take my U-lock with me from uni, and you'll be quite safe."
#2: We went to the Salvo's in Belconnen, forgetting that the area near the Belconnen remand centre isn't really all that 'safe'.
#3: I was only ducking into the shop for 3 minutes max to check if they had any leather jackets or white tees for a 50's theme party. "It's definitely safest to leave her leaning against the window, where she's highly visible. I'll even put my lock through the back wheel and frame so she can't be ridden away. No worries." Maybe, just maybe, I should secure her TO something immovable, like the signpost round the corner, or the fence just across the road? "No! Silly idea!"
#4: The bike at the window wasn't as visible as I thought; it was soon hidden by clothes racks. And I was possibly gone slightly longer than 3 minutes.
I did check back at the window after a couple of minutes. All was good, and away I went again. The next time, my bike was nowhere to be seen. I know I'm boring you, so suffice it to say, some young guy had apparently walked off down the street with the bike, and seem to be long gone when I noticed it was missing. I quickly reported it to the police, who were honest in saying there wasn't much hope of seeing it again, and I went home to spread the word on all the cycling websites. I printed a few posters, and thought I'd keep an eye out on eBay…
I wanted to put a brave face on it, so I was quite ready to tell people that it was only a bike – that, yes, it sucked, but God must have a good purpose in it. In reality I was like "God, can't you see I don't need this trouble right now? Don't you know I've got enough on my plate?" Yeah. Not so good.
Ten days later [2], I'm vainly trying to get some study done in the computer labs. My phone rings. "This is Constable ______ ______. You had a bike stolen recently, right? Was it black and green with Kenda tires?" Um, yes, why? "Well, we have it here. A couple of kids brought it in today. When would you like to pick it up?"
I was gobsmacked.
Bikes. Like. This. Simply. Don't. Come. Back.
As if it wasn't clear enough that this was God's work, he made sure I knew the police hadn't somehow recovered it on one of their lucky raids. No, God had turned someone's heart – a mother, a girlfriend, maybe even the guy himself – and caused them to do the right thing. To just bring it in. That's one way to teach me to rely on you, Lord Jesus!
To finish the story for you: Dad brought his car in to pick the bike up with me. She had survived remarkably well! Bar a different seat (!?), and a couple of missing light brackets, she had hardly changed since I last saw her. And so there she is, installed at the foot of my bed again. Happy to be home, and happy to rest there awhile, if I'm not mistaken.
So this has been a pretty humbling experience. I'm a proud guy, and God has to find ingenious ways to humble me. First, coming to terms with my own foolishness that let the bike be stolen. Second, realising that I cared for this bike way too much. "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, … where thieves break in and steal." Wise advice! The next bit is more pointed: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." I guess repentance is called for there, to set my eyes on the future, and on Jesus the finisher of my faith. I find it all too easy to grow comfortable with this life, and to stop yearning for heaven, for the life that is to come. How does that make Christ feel, that I would often seem to prefer these material things, rather than that which he shed his blood, suffered, and gave his life for?
Third, I complained to God about this trial because there were too many other things that _I_ had to deal with. He turned around and showed me how ridiculous that was! This wasn't another thing that _I_ had to deal with – in fact, that was my very problem, I was trying to deal with too many things MY way in MY time, instead of relying on Him and trusting Him to take care of me. "Do not be anxious about your life." What then? "Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you." God showed me he could take care of this small (for him) matter, and do so far better than I ever imagined. So won't he just as well take care of all my other problems and struggles?
Fourth, my Jesus is too small. I went to a Mark Driscoll event [3] to have my plastic Jesus images destroyed, but God was already at work, showing me more of himself. My image of Jesus had been a man, God even, who died on the cross for my sins, who conquered death, and yet also a guy who was too small to really know what was best for me, and certainly too small to make it happen. Jesus understands me, and what I need, beyond my wildest dreams! He has already DONE EVERYTHING for me, and he will GIVE me everything I need to be satisfied in him :D
What encouragement is there in this: "May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely… He who calls you is faithful; HE WILL SURELY DO IT." Amen and AMEN!!
Anyone keen for a ride?

Hydrosols, also known as floral waters, hydroflorates, flower waters or distillates are products from steam distilling plant materials. Hydrosols are like essential oils but in far less of a concentration. When a distiller brews plant material with water in a large cooker the steam fills the pot and, as it rises, it causes the glands of the plants to burst and release the oils and essence of the plant into the steam. The oil rises through a condenser and collects in a separate vessel. This is what we know as essential oil, but what about all that fragrant water that was steamed with the original plant material? That is our hydrosol, or floral water.
Hydrosols are usually the result of essential oil production as a by-product but the highest quality hydrosols come from the devoted distillers who, with artist like precision steam the floral and plant material strictly to produce a hydrosol. Hydrosols contain all of the essence of the plant in every drop, just like essential oils but in a milder form; making them suitable for all manner of applications where essential oils would be too strong.
Clinically, the chemical components in the hydrosol are primarily acids. Why do they work? Because they acidify the water or the product and bacteria do not live well in acidic environments. This is why acidic liquids such as vinegar make good preservatives for food items. Acidic environments are astringent and so the hydrosols are useful in skin care products as astringents constrict and contract the tissues. Hydrosols can be used externally in skin care products, taken as a tonic or combined in a beverage drink. We love using hydrosols for room/linen aromatherapy sprays. The Medicine Garden hydrosols all come in a spray bottle.


text: I've used only original batteries, 1500mAh*2, and 3500mAh*2 batteries for a while. There are some pros and cons with the larger batteries and without. First the original battery. In my case, can only last about up time: 11hours awake time: 1-2 hours. The pros for this case, I would say the phone is super slim and looks great. However, the cons would be that I have to worry about the juice all the time and try to plug it in every time I near a plug. Second case: Buy some 1500, 1750 whatever that fits in the original back case. I bought 2 1500mAh batteries after I got sick of worrying about the juice. In this case, I found out that I have to swap the batteries pretty often but the good news is I feel safe when I go out. People go to work or school from 8-5pm and then they might wanna go to a restaurant or a bar afterwards. If you only have one battery then after the work or school, you can't really go out without charging your phone again. The bad news is that you'll have to swap the batteries all the time since the juice is about the same as the original one. And the back case seems to be fragile? Third case: 3500mAh I would say I am really satisfied with super juice after I purchased it. However, it comes with a super bulky back case too. For my phone, it can last 24 hours up time and 3-4 hours awake time. (It could be 21-22 hours up time and 4-5 awake time. Just depending on how I use it). This is an awesome solution for me because sometimes I spend the weekend with my friends and even live there and I would love to travel light. Therefore this could help me succeed my goal. But the downside is that it's god damn bulky. It's like we are back to 80s using satellite or something. Also it makes the phone less sexy. I've used 3500mAh for a while but recently I go back to 1500mAh batteries with 1 original battery. I am just trying to find out which way fits my need. Since everyone has used his/her phone for a while. I would love to set up a poll to see what choice you guys have made. P.S why Apple always manages to make it's products last for a long time but other companies just can't keep up my hp laptop:3 hours. MBP: 5 hours at least. Iphone: no need to charge every day (answers from my friend). EVO: please plug in every day. (Even with 3500mAh, I still have to charge or swap it on daily basis.)

School Council Take Over the Senior Leadership Team
On Friday 18th November, for the third year running, the students on the main school council took over the running of the school as each of them became a member of the leadership team for the day. The students took on their new roles with an eager determination and professionalism, showing great leadership qualities.
The staff at Woodside were amazed at how effortlessly the students undertook the day-to-day tasks of the leadership team such as planning assemblies, chairing meetings and even teaching lessons! The students' feedback proved they had a fantastic day, even if they did think that being a full time member of the leadership team would be 'really hard work!'
Patricia Ssonka, a member of the year 7 student council, took on the role as co-headteacher for the day. No easy task, as Patricia soon came to realise! She delved straight into her new role by leading the staff morning briefing, speaking in front of the entire staff body of Woodside. Although faced with a daunting task: 'I was very intrigued as I had never been to the staff room before... I will never forget how horrified and scared I was' Patricia soon overcame her nerves: 'before I knew it, it was over and I had a blast!'
Many of the students assisted the members of the leadership team in patrolling the school throughout the day; a task that requires a solid pair of walking shoes! Tierney Gumisiriza, a member of the year 8 student council who was shadowing Ms Simpson commented 'we had to walk around the whole school... being a senior leader is really hard; there are so many jobs to do.'
The students also came to appreciate how much work teachers do behind the scenes. Gertrude Ozetem, a member of the year 10 student council who shadowed Mr Thomas for the day was amazed when she discovered ' just how much time, effort and hard work teachers put in to ensure students have the best possible learning experience in school.'
The leadership team all agreed that the students were an invaluable asset to the leadership team that day. Every student in every role stepped up to the mark and proved themselves to be great future leaders .

Finding the best web hosting provider is essential for a business to become successful online. Web hosting companies provide not only a domain and server for a website, they also include tight security and excellent uptime services so that a business will be able to get more customers and expand. When it comes to security, a web hosting provider should be able to give their clients specific software so that their website is secure. However, some web hosts have either limited plans to choose from and they are rather expensive for a business that just started. Some web hosts are not even updated to the latest interfaces. It really depends on the web hosting company that a business-owner will choose.
In order to find the best-shared hosting provider, one would have to consider the following factors:
- Security

Bid to encourage use of health apps
Doctors will be encouraged to help patients use their smartphones to manage their health, the Government has said.
GPs will be asked to recommend apps that are free or cheap for their patients to use, such as ones to manage conditions including diabetes.
Other favourites are apps to help people deal with post-traumatic stress, to track and monitor blood pressure and to help people find NHS services on a map.
Popular existing apps include Patients Know Best, where patients get all their records from their clinicians and can control who accesses them.
It is already used in some hospitals including Great Ormond Street and University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
A new diabetes app gives people reminders on checking blood sugar levels and taking medication. Information can then be sent electronically to the patient's surgery or clinic.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said: "So many people use apps every day to keep up with their friends, with the news, find out when the next bus will turn up or which train to catch.
"I want to make using apps to track blood pressure, to find the nearest source of support when you need it and to get practical help in staying healthy the norm.
"With more information at their fingertips, patients can truly be in the driving seat."

Simon Says ... #1
There's a word game I dearly love that reminds me a bit of "Mother, may I?" It's called Simon Says. "Mother", of course, was very much a popularity contest. Whomever was currently in favor with 'mother' always won the game. As I said, a girl's thing.
Anyway, this is the first in what will be a series of Simon Says puzzles for you to solve. (Btw, folks, I'm only going to publish those that I find particularly amusing.) However, there will be no 'mother' to tell you whether you may or may not do something. With Simon Says, you must do the steps in the order presented and follow the directions exactly in order to arrive at the correct solution, which will be an amusing word or phrase that is apropos to where you started.
Only rarely do I get it right the first time, so have a little patience. Ready? Here we go with the first one.
1. Print the words MAD MITES ON THE MOON.
2. Change the A to a U.
3. Remove the center letter.
4. Swap the second vowel (A, E, I, O, or U) with the fourth consonant. (When directions like these are given, always assume that they mean starting from the left.)
5. Move the S to the very end of the row.
6. Remove one O.
7. Change the first letter to the letter that immediately precedes it in the alphabet.
8. Repeat step 3.
9. Swap the second consonant with the eighth consonant.
10. Insert a K immediately before the last letter.
11. Remove all M's.
12. Change the eleventh letter to the letter that immediately precedes it in the alphabet.
13. Remove the word THE.
14. Change the E to an A.
15. Remove the O.
16. Move the A two places to the left.
Did you have some fun with this game? What did you end up with? If you had LUNATICKS, you were correct. (If not, you need to start all over again. Be more careful this time.)
If you were really intrigued by this kind of puzzle and would like to see a bunch more, I'm sorry to tell you that you're in for a bit of a disappointment. You will notice, depending upon which store you are in, all sorts of different puzzle books and magazines. Generally speaking, however, only one or two Simon Says appear in any one issue - and there don't appear to be any large volumes of this particular kind of puzzle available from the publishers, as there are for many others.
Jacky, there's one coming up for you in the near future, but - unfortunately - I have misplaced it at the present time. It's here, somewhere. lol
PS. Tammy, your girls might have fun with these!

You mean it's not LDA IU TMKS? LOL
Guess I'd better go try again!

OK - I got it that time. VERY tricky!
- October 25, 2009 at 4:12 PM

I just KNEW you'd try this puzzle, Bug, and I'm not the least bit surprised that you didn't get it right the first time! (However, I DID notice that it took you only another five minutes to come up with the correct solution, so it's obvious you're no newcomer to these kinds of games. Btw, I read your 'hangman' post. Didn't leave a comment, but I read it. Got a kick out of it being one of the very few things you're allowed to do at work. I'll bet you're a Wheel of Fortune fan, too. I used to be - before they removed thousands of my accumulated points because I wasn't purchasing anything from the sponsor.)
Btw, this is one of the really easy ones. (You didn't want to hear THAT, did you?) I used to just ignore these completely until somewhat recently, when I thought, "You know, I ought to be able to DO those!"
In the back of each puzzle book, there are answer pages (of course), and the ones for Simon Says are pretty durned specific. They give - line by line - the changes that you would have seen had you followed the directions.
The one I'm saving up for Jacky is about pigs. Her ex-husband (now deceased) was - among other things - a pig farmer, and to this day she still collects pig-related paraphernalia.
THAT one is really hard. I haven't solved it yet. Tried probably three or four times already. When I locate it again, I'll keep trying until I DO!
(Another btw ... I no longer look at the answer pages. Kind of takes all the fun out of it for me.)
Happy puzzling and have a great rest of the weekend, Bug. You, too, Steven!

Oh, this was fun; I've been waiting to comment til the girls and I could all do it. Here is what we came up with:
Kayla - lumita loanks
Katie - lukafteoonks
Emily - ludatincnks
Tammy - lunaticks
We all roared with laughter when we were done, then I showed them step by step how it is done to get the correct word.
We're all looking VERY forward to your next Simon Says. PLEASE post more of these on your blog - it was a lot of fun. :)

P.S. - I'm gonna post this on my blog and link you. :)

- Goldenrod said...
I'm so glad that you and your girls had some fun with this puzzle, Tammy, and am tickled that you will be linking my blog.
A couple of added notes ... ... 1) Jacky wrote in an e-mail that she was looking forward to the pig one. Well, she might have to wait a while for THAT! I've been going through all of my loose puzzle pages one by one, looking for it. Haven't found it yet. Doesn't mean it isn't here. Just means that I have absolutely TOO MANY LOOSE PUZZLE PAGES floating around this house!!!!! I have made a solemn vow not to buy another puzzle book until I find it.
2) She also wrote that, when she was a kid, the boys participated in "Mother, may I?" Give me a break here, Jacky! Boys participating in that game?? I'm having a problem believing THAT one!
- October 27, 2009 at 2:57 PM
- Tammy said...
I remember playing Mother May I with the neighborhood kids in several neighborhoods. Just as many boys played as girls. :)
- October 27, 2009 at 3:22 PM
- Goldenrod said...
Well now, see folks? Just goes to show you how boys were boys where I grew up and they liked to play girlie games in Indiana and Idaho! :)

Bank cash call part of 'bold' plan
Banking giant Barclays is to tap shareholders for £5.8 billion after revealing a mammoth £12.8 billion hole in its finances.
The cash call is part of a "bold but balanced plan" to meet City regulator demands to shore up its finances by June next year. It insisted the move would make the bank stronger and would not impact on its aims to boost lending to households and businesses.
But the group's shares slumped 8% - following a 4% drop on Monday - as the scale of the fundraising took the City by surprise and as Barclays revealed a higher-than-expected bill for yet more mis-selling provisions.
It set aside another £2 billion charge to cover compensation for mis-selling, including £1.35 billion for payment protection insurance and £650 million for controversial interest rate swaps. Excluding mis-selling provisions, underlying pre-tax profits fell 17% to £3.6 billion over the first six months of 2013 as the bank counted the cost of a group-wide restructure launched in the wake of its Libor rate-rigging settlement last year.
Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins said the bank saw "good momentum" in the first half, but admitted its fundraising plans will put back some of the financial targets under its overhaul, dubbed Project Transform.
The group is to issue new shares at a discounted price to investors to meet the City regulator's requirements to strengthen its leverage ratio - a key measure of financial strength - to 3% from 2.2%. This comes on top of billions of pounds already being raised by the bank to build up a cushion against future financial shocks as part of a wider capital raising across the industry.
The bank will also issue £2 billion of bonds that are turned into shares or wiped out if the bank gets into trouble. In addition, the balance sheet would be shrunk by between £65 billion and £80 billion, while earnings would be retained to make up the balance of the capital gap.
Mr Jenkins said: "I am certain the decisive and prompt action we are taking will leave Barclays stronger."
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) said it had "agreed and welcomed" the bank's plans to bolster its reserves.
The scandal-hit bank also revealed it had received the Financial Conduct Authority's preliminary findings of a probe involving four past and present employees including outgoing finance chief Chris Lucas over fees paid under a 2008 fundraising from Qatari investors. Barclays said it had contested the findings last week and expected further developments soon.

Population - a localized group of individuals capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring
Gene Pool - all of the alleles for all genes in all individuals of the population
Genetic Drift
Gene Flow
Natural Selection
These are chance events that cause allele frequencies to fluctuate unpredictably from one generation to the next
Tends to reduce genetic variation through losses of alleles
Two main types:
Founder effect
Bottle neck effect
Founder Effect
A sudden change in the environment (flood / fire) that drastically reduces the population size; In the surviving population certain alleles may be over or under represented
Northern Elephant Seals were heavily hunted by man in the early 19th century reducing their population size to about 20 individuals. Today the population has rebounded to over 30,000 but the effects of the bottleneck are evident in their DNA. There is little genetic variation among this population when compared to a population of Southern Elephant seals that were not heavily hunted.
The transfer of alleles into or out of a population due to movement of fertile individuals or their gametes
For example - movement of pollen by wind or insects; movement of humans around the globe

Helps nurses diagnose and manage pain in people with advanced dementia, as well as better communicate with and assist family carers.
Dementia is becoming an increasingly burdensome health issue in both Australia and New Zealand, associated with a number of diseases characterised by impairment of brain function inclusive of memory, understanding and reasoning.
Nurses play an essential part in the lives of people affected by dementia, as well as in those of their families. An holistic nursing approach, delivering nursing care that addresses the person's physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual dimensions, is an important part of managing their symptoms and behaviours.
In this module you will look at the pathophysiology of a person who has dementia, before addressing the experience and assessment of pain in people with advanced dementia.
Acknowledging family carers as an integral feature in planning care for the person with advanced dementia, you will explore principles of communication to assist family carers, and identify professional development and training interventions.
Completing this online module accumulates one hour of CPD for nurses.
Acknowledgements Content derived from 'Advanced dementia' by Esther Chang, Amanda Johnson and Karen Hancock in Chronic Illness and Disability, 2nd edition, by Chang and Johnson.

Today we are reading from Ezekiel 39:1-24. Last time we met we learned about Be Mindful Gog of Magog. You can read more in my Ezekiel Studies here and here.
Behold..... Gog is still under threat!
God is not happy with Gog...he going to drive him and his people forward. Drive them to the mountains where he will destroy them.
"And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 2 And I will turn you about and drive you forward, and bring you up from the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will strike your bow from your left hand, and will make your arrows drop out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your hordes and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God. 6 I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
At the end this fact:
7 "And my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Behold, it is coming and it will be brought about, declares the Lord God. That is the day of which I have spoken.
So much plunder will be taken from those that God will destroy...there will be enough to have fires burning for seven years. Weapons and protective gear of all sorts. In fact, so much will be taken that no wood will have to be cut down.
9 "Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows, clubs and spears; and they will make fires of them for seven years, 10 so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, for they will make their fires of the weapons. They will seize the spoil of those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord God.
The way of the Valley of Travelers will be blocked by the destruction that will fall upon Gog and Magog. He will have a burial site there. So it will then be called the Valley of Hamon-gog, it will take seven months for all the people to be buried, in order for the land to be cleansed.
11 "On that day I will give to Gog
a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the
sea. It will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude
will be buried. It will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.
I have to admit, parts of this passage are making no sense to me today.... My head is foggy with a sore throat so bear with me eh?
When God cleanses the land...his glory will be seen among the nations. When he destroys Gog of Magog, the birds and animals will have a big feast. Everyone .. the nations surrounding Israel and even Israel herself will see the glory of the Lord. They will see how Israel was put into captivity for her treacherous behaviour. God has dealt with their sin. Now the land will be cleansed. Now the "house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God".
I'm just trying to imagine the destruction the Lord caused and the size of the army involved. Imagine SEVEN years of fires burning and seven months of burying the dead. Just think on that for a spell. So many people and their stuff to get rid of so you can cleanse the land and the people.
At the end of it though... God's name.. glorified.
Part of me is horrified at all that bloodshed. All those people destroyed for profaning the name of the Lord. It's a good reminder to me at just how seriously God takes this stuff. Has me wondering at how God feels about all the blasphemy that goes on today in the world. At how little people (even believers) think of God. Ach... I don't want to be that kind of person, the kind that God turns his face from.
Oh.. let me be a person who GLORIFIES God, that's what I want to be. A God-glorifier...not one that causes God to shed the blood of another. Christ covered my sin so this mass-scale destruction need not happen again. Be a God-glorifier with me eh?
