Taking Torah, with a Restored Gospel Message to the Nations
Several Pastors according to Rick Davscourt are now going through HaYesod as well as asking questions about the Hebraic "REALITY" of the scriptures.
Just so you know I have mentioned to Rico Cortes that he should consider heading to Peru. I have also been in prayer about returning with several people (all of whom I have spoken with) to share with the Pastors and those who are asking questions about all of this.
Equally, I am super curious about what ADONAI has birthed in my spirit concerning all of this including the Home For Girls. (They need so much and a bigger home) I am asking ABBA if I can go back with a few friends in February or March (Rainy season) to share the information of a Jewish Messiah and an Hebraic understanding of the scriptures.
If you see another Fundly page asking for resources in the near future...this will be why. :)
We will need to raise a lot of money to take this message to Arequipa, Peru. I need a team of people praying with us about such an event.
THANK YOU FOR praying and supporting; most of all for serving the
A very special thank you to all of the women who are joining with my wife to send a care package to the girls pictured above in my video....
|Babe, I love your support

text: 1) Anyone have opinions on this speaker? I would either use for rear surrounds in big room or front mains in small room (both with subs). I want a medium/small speaker that looks good (not black, gray or metal/plastic). Not too expensive. Wharfdale 70th Anniversary edition of the Diamond 8.1 bookshelf speaker with upgraded bi-wire / bi-amp binding post terminals and finished in genuine rosewood veneer 5.25" Self-damping, bidirectional woven-Kevlar woofer, drive units with ultra-smooth phase plugs, 1" dome tweeter. Double-wound, vented voice coils on bass/mid drivers; bi-wirable, gold-plated terminals Wired internally with premium Monster Cable XP speaker cable. Is this Kevlar woofer a gimmick or a good thing? 2) JBL E10 I don't need a speaker such as this at the moment, but was just wondering if it would make a good rear surround for wall mountable applications? First off, it is wall mountable (with keyhole hanger). It has that bi-polar look but has only front firing speakers. However, it has ports on each angled side. How much sound would come from those ports? Would it be enough for a diffuse effect similar to a typical wall mounted bi-polar speaker that has twin sets of speakers angled outwards?

Boxed yellow cake mix can be used for more desserts than just sheet cake or cupcakes. Soft yellow cookie rounds, ladyfingers and shortcake cups can be prepared in advance and frozen. Pull them out as needed, add ready-to-serve ingredients and you can have a dessert plated in ten minutes or less, not counting advance preparation time.
Despite the less than elegant name, gobs are a delicious treat that takes just minutes to make. Prepare yellow cake mix according to package directions. Use a flat-bottom ladle to pour the cake batter onto cookie sheets, as if making pancakes. Each pour should form a three- to four-inch diameter circle. Make no more than six pours per cookie sheet to prevent the edges of each cake round from running together.
The baking temperature listed on the package should be the same, but the baking time will be more flexible, since the cakes should be removed from the oven when the bottom edge of each round turns golden brown. If a toothpick inserted into each cake comes out clean, they are done. Once cooled, you can freeze the cake rounds in a single flat layer in gallon-size plastic freezer bags. The cake rounds should be thawed to room temperature before use.
You can use whipped topping for a light filling, or substitute whipped butter-cream frosting for a richer dessert. Watkins Online.com has recipes for fillings for chocolate, pumpkin and vanilla gobs. Spoon the filling onto one cake round and top it with a second one. You can drizzle gobs with chocolate syrup, caramel sauce or any clear fruit sauce of your choice, and place the gob in the freezer until ready to serve.
If you do not have ladyfinger pans you can use corn-shaped corn muffin pans. Fill each section just two-thirds full of prepared yellow cake mix batter to prevent them from running over. Follow package directions on temperatures, but test with a toothpick to determine how long to continue to bake. When it comes out clean, take the pan out of the oven.
If you turn the pan over on waxed paper or parchment, they will be less likely to stick while cooling. Laying a cool, damp cloth over the pan while it cools to room temperature helps loosen the cakes, preventing them from crumbling. You may have to strike the pan with a spoon or your hand before gently lifting it off the cakes.
You can use a pastry tube or cookie press with icing tip to fill the ladyfingers with butter cream or jam. If you use a 1/2-inch diameter dowel rod to poke a hole into the end of each ladyfinger without going through the other end, it will make them easier to fill. After you squeeze frosting or jam into each ladyfinger, store them side by side on sheets of waxed paper in gallon-size plastic, zipper-style freezer bags. Two ladyfingers on a plate, drizzled with raspberry and chocolate syrup, make an elegant dessert.
You can pour prepared yellow cake mix into shortcake pans or use the same cake rounds used to make gobs. You can spoon your favorite jam into each shortcake cup and top with the same type berries or sliced fresh fruit, and top with whipped cream or your favorite pudding mix. If you heat additional jam until it liquefies into syrup, it can be drizzled over each shortcake before serving. If desired, you can also grate chocolate, nutmeg or citrus peel over each shortcake.

Celebrating Student Work: The Art of Fabric Manipulation Fashion Show
I want to take the opportunity to share my students work, and write briefly about the experience of working with fashion students and planning a fashion show.
Teaching fashion design and fashion marketing can be an emotional experience. Teaching has proven to be an experience providing me with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. There are some days that I actually have experienced them both. I don't know if it is the emotions that comes with creative fields or the passion that comes with teaching something that I love. I recently experienced one of the greatest nights of my teaching experiences so far, and that was to see the talents of many of my students come together to create a wonderful fashion show. (more…)

Senator Nozzolio Hosts Education Forum WITH Senate Education Chairman
GENEVA- Continuing his efforts to ensure fair and equitable treatment for school districts in our region, State Senator Mike Nozzolio today hosted a forum on education where local school district leaders had the opportunity to discuss their budget concerns with the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education, Senator John Flanagan. Senator Nozzolio organized the summit with Senator Flanagan after numerous discussions over the past year with educators, parents, and school administrators throughout our region on important issues such as State aid for education and the need to remove unfunded mandates.
"This discussion will be tremendously useful to me over the coming weeks as my colleagues and I work to meet the challenges facing our local school districts," said Senator Nozzolio. "The exchange of information and the dialogue which took place was incredibly positive and will be extremely helpful and effective in meeting the needs of our students' education. I thank Senator Flanagan for taking the time to visit our region and actively listening to our schools' concerns before the State budget negotiations begin."
"As the Legislature and Governor Cuomo get ready to make decisions that will impact the educational future of children all across the state, it is important that we hear directly from the people who represent those children so their voices are heard in Albany. Senator Nozzolio understands how critical it is that every child in the Finger Lakes Region has the opportunity to a quality education. I appreciate his efforts to set up this meeting which will help ensure that a fair budget is enacted that makes the changes needed to provide educational opportunities for all students in our state," said Senator Flanagan.
Over 130 school superintendents, board members, administrators and staff participated in the forum.
"I applaud Senator Nozzolio for sponsoring and hosting a forum where we could have a constructive exchange of thoughts regarding our concerns around the need for equitable school funding," said Wayne Finger Lakes BOCES Superintendent Dr. Joseph Marinelli, who presented at the forum. "Getting to interact with Senator Flanagan was a great opportunity for us to share information with an incredibly knowledgeable leader in education policy. To know that he and Senator Nozzolio understand our issues and support education in our region is greatly reassuring."
During last year's budget negotiations, Senator Nozzolio fought to enable a 4 percent increase in funding for schools this year. The Executive Budget proposal recently unveiled by Governor Cuomo includes this funding- an increase of over $800 million in State support for education- with 76 percent of this increase allocated to high-need, low-wealth districts across the State. Senator Nozzolio, joined by several of his State Senate colleagues, also reached out to the Governor urging him to reform the school funding formula to ensure a more equitable distribution of aid to local schools.
"Through open discussions like today's forum, I understand the challenges many of our local schools face in meeting the costs of providing a quality public school education," said Senator Nozzolio. "I greatly appreciate the input of everyone who participated today and I will continue fighting to see these concerns addressed during the budget process."

There was no internet or Youtube back in 1875 but this doesn't mean that people didn't know many popular life-saving hacks. A that time, cigarette manufacturers inserted trade cards into their paper packs of cigarettes to stiffen packaging. Soon they started printing on these cards with actresses, boxers, and baseball players. In the 1910s the Ogden's Branch of the Imperial Tobacco Co and Gallaher Ltd of Belfast & London printed a "How-To" cards series. From cooling a bottle of wine, stopping a mad dog, to lighting a match in the wind, these cigarette cards told you clever ways to handle many of life's problems. Here are some of them:
1. How to chill wine without ice:
In case you have run out of ice, and you have to cool wine, don't panic. Wrap the bottle in a towel and place it in a crock beneath the cold water tap. In about ten minutes the wine will be ready.
2. How to pull out long nails:
Pulling out long nails from wooden surfaces is very difficult. Once you've pulled it out just a bit, place a small block of wood under the pincers, and you can pull it out quickly.
3. Carrying heavy items:
Always carry a heavy and filled object upright. This way you will prevent the weight pulling down the object. You will also avoid spillage if you're carrying a jug filled with water.

As many readers have experience, some website companies are so powerful since they can produce lots of visitors, customers and even regular buyers/sellers. On the other hand, we also encounter many websites or companies who are working with web do not receive much attention and supports from the readers. Why? It is because of lacking of leadership. Why leadership matters in this case? The simple answer is that leadership is the way and that leadership will give way to betterment.
So how they can get more customers and visitors to their website? There are many possible ways to do it. They can either do it by free of charge or with a very clear budget plan and designing very good video ads or magic banners so that visitors or readers get attracted to it. In this article, however, will show you readers by three main ways to process your websites and gain more audiences.
Company wants to improve on social media in order to attract more customers must few steps following:
First of all, company must plan appropriate budget for advertisement on webpage. Then they need to create video or banner ads which must look interesting and touch people's eyes about services/product of the company. After video and benner ads are designed, they have to scan for popular web-companies and contact them for advertisement. In fact, there are plenty companies working on adversting products or service. In this case, however, there are three major web-companies which consisiting of many visitors/customers such as Facebook, Google, and any speicailize advertisement companies.
Facebook, in particular, is one of giant companies working with million of users around the world. Advertising products through Facebook is much productive. Hence, company must create a facebook page and register with Facebook company to boost their like and that they can reach of hundreds of thousand of customers, after all.
Google, on the hand, is the global web-companies and owning many users and customers. Google provides large services raning business, especially with web-business. As such, to get more customers they company must associate with Google company to promote their web-traffic. Simply, there two ways the company can advertise with such as via Youtube Ads and Google Ads. With Youtube or Google ads, the company may promote their web by showing their gorgeous, attractive banner ads or video ads.
Another option which is very important of all is to promote the company's web through a company who is sharing quite the same business type. In this very partilcular case, the company must find specialize companies in providing/selling/buying decoration products or services. Working with this company could help a lot in reaching real targeted customers.
Once advertisement is activiated with those three options above, the company can follow up the statistic of customers who stop by click, or using the services. Then the company should know by then whether continue their ads or not by real statistic provided by each web-companies. By analysising the data of customers reaching the company's ads, the company can choose either to improve its servives, video ads or choosing the other ways in order to reach more customers.
In short, in order to get more audiences or customers through web the company must take two things into consideration, budget plan and how creative the banners or videos are. With Facebook and Google, for example, the more the company can pay the more Facebook, Google can help to reach out large customers. Also, the creative banners or videos the more times customers will spend to visit and use the services.

Video Really Killed the Radio Star
- Details
- Category: Volume 87 (Fall 2015 - Spring 2016)
- Published: 02 March 2016
- Written by NICOLE SEITZ | STAFF WRITER
It seems as if the music industry has been placing a much higher importance on image over true raw talent since the 1980s. The release of the first music video ever for "Video Killed the Radio Star" by Buggles in 1979 really depicts the message of how looks, style, and what you could see on video literally killed the radio star, or the musicians who could sing and had true talent.
The reason for this shift could be the growth of technology. The 80s were a great time for technological advances and that decade has really shaped the technology we have today in the music business.
Joe Rapolla, Chair of the Music Department, said, "Technology has impacted the [music] business, like all businesses, over the last 150 years."
Dave DePaola, a junior music industry student, explained, "I think the decade of the 80s was a turning point in music because of the emergence of new technologies for recording and production, as well as evolutions in music with the creation of new sub genres like glam metal, where the image was more important than the music."
Bands like Poison, Mötley Crüe, and Def Leppard were some of the most well known glam metal bands and were the epitome of image focused musicians.
Even now, we still see the problem of image taking over the music industry. With this year's Grammy awards on Feb. 15, there has been some controversy amongst music lovers saying that Taylor Swift's 1989 did not deserve Album of the Year over Kendrick Lamar's new album, To Pimp a Butterfly.
Although Swift is a great pop artist, the argument that these fans make is that to win a title like Album of the Year should not be based on popularity but on real artistic value.
"Pop music is a product placed to a melody. It's not meant to mean anything other than catchy tunes, un-meaningful lyrics, and lack of instrumental skill," said Liam Frank, a junior music industry student.
Frank also commented on Kendrick Lamar's album, "It is such a good vehicle for exposing racial inequalities experienced first hand by Kendrick and also for very universal and adaptable personal and moral lessons. Kendrick Lamar uses his talent and art to share his story and make a real statement."
DePaola said, "Pop music is music that is made only to be sold." But that wasn't always the case. DePaola continued, "Innovation was more appreciated in the old days."
The days of rock and roll in the 50s, 60s, and 70s were great and allowed musicians who played instruments and wrote their own songs to be popular.
Frank added, "Back in the day, popular music was more about the individual and their art. Now, mainstream media tells you what you are supposed to like."
Even singers and crooners in the 40s who just sang songs written for them had a real gift for singing. Now artists like Britney Spears or boy bands like One Direction are popular because of their looks and technology that makes them sound better.
Rapolla explained this shift we've come to in music from a business standpoint. "The first music product was sheet music, then the LP, then we were a singles business in the 1950s," he said.
Rapolla added, "In the 70s we moved back into an album business. Recently we've moved back to a singles business. And now we're moving to an access versus ownership model, whereas music becomes more of a service rather than a product."
Our generation's focus on hit singles and having music consumption at an all time high affects what the industry promotes as popular music.
John Mayer is a great example of an artist who puts so much heart and soul into all of the songs he writes, however, he is really only known in the world of pop for winning a Grammy for his hit single "Your Body is a Wonderland" in 2004.
Even artists like Gary Clark Jr. who are huge in the world of blues and soul today are not recognized in mainstream music.
Clark's album "The Story of Sonny Boy Slim," which came out in September of 2015, was a highly acclaimed album by Rolling Stone and could objectively be considered the best album of the year.
However, because of the way the industry is today, an album like that could never cross over into mainstream music because of our focus on singles.
Rapolla summarized the evolution of music by saying, "As always, good music that can sell is important to the music industry. That has not changed. What's different is the characteristic of what good music sounds like […]. The sounds change but good music is always what drove the music business."

ST. JOSEPH — The parents of a boy who died at a northwest Missouri military-type home for troubled teens have asked for a protective order against the home's owners.
Victor and Gracia Reyes alleged in recent court filings that John Bundy, who owns Thayer Learning Center with his wife, Willa Bundy, made an unannounced visit to the Reyes' home in Santa Rosa, Calif., in July and "threatened and harassed" the Reyeses.
The motion for a protective order, filed last week in Buchanan County Circuit Court, said John Bundy and his son Isaac Bundy encouraged the Reyeses to settle their wrongful-death lawsuit against Thayer.
Roberto Reyes, 15, died in November 2004 while a resident at Thayer, about 50 miles northeast of Kansas City in Kidder, Mo. He had been there less than two weeks, and his death has been attributed to a probable spider bite.
Rhonda Smiley, an attorney for Thayer, said Thursday that she would have no comment until attorneys file a formal response with the court next week. John and Willa Bundy have denied in court records any wrongdoing in conjunction with Roberto's death, and Thayer officials previously said in a written statement to The Kansas City Star that general allegations of abuse at Thayer were "ludicrous and false."
According to the motion, the Bundys indicated they "would be forced to investigate all family members in an attempt to uncover any embarrassing or personal information which would then be publicized through the litigation" if the lawsuit continued.
The Reyeses alleged in their wrongful-death lawsuit, filed in February, that Roberto was subjected to physical exertion and abuse that caused or contributed to his death. They alleged that Roberto was dragged, hit, "forced to lay in his own excrement for extended periods" and that he would have lived had he received competent medical care in a timely manner.
In court records, Thayer officials deny those and other allegations.
According to an affidavit signed by Victor Reyes and entered into the court file, John and Isaac Bundy told the Reyeses they were in California on business when they showed up at the Reyeses' home about 7 p.m. on July 27. The Bundys said that they were sorry for what happened to Roberto and that they did not wish to see the Reyeses hurt further. They said that if the lawsuit continued, however, they would seek any information that would cause "embarrassment, hurt and anguish" to the Reyeses, the affidavit said.
The affidavit said the Bundys indicated that the embarrassment could be avoided if the Reyeses reached a settlement "outside our lawyers' knowledge" and that the Reyeses "would be able to keep all the money and not have to give the lawyers any of it."
No dollar amounts were listed in court records.
"We felt threatened and scared that the Bundys would try to embarrass us and cause our family further hurt," Victor Reyes wrote in the affidavit.
The Reyeses asked that all defendants in the case — including their agents and employees — be required to stay 100 feet from the Reyeses and be ordered to refrain from contacting them by any means. There are seven defendants in the case: Thayer, two affiliated businesses and four employees of Thayer at the time of Roberto's death.The case is scheduled to go to trial in June.

Okay, so, President Bush isn't the greatest president but I needed a catchy title. In fact, there are many who consider him one of the worst presidents – ever in history. [Here's my take why he may be considered as one of the "worst presidents."]
While I don't believe he is the worst president [per the Rolling Stone article], he certain has missed the mark on numerous fronts and history will not be kind to him. But having said that, I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to be in that kind of position of leadership. While I vehemently disagree with him on several fronts [particularly the ongoing war in Iraq], I have developed a certain level of respect for him as he handles potshots, insults, lowblows, constant criticisms, and blame for all the woes and ails of everything between A to Z.
Since we all know that there's going to be an increase in conversations about his failures as president, I thought it would be good to point out some notable figures who recently have praised George Bush for his commitment to Africa.
Here's Bono re: the president's concern for "AIDS treatment, malaria prevention, education, and multifaceted economic development":
President Bush has every reason to be proud of what he and so many others have accomplished in Africa. From AIDS treatment once thought impossible, to millions of bednets to keep kids from dying of a mosquito bite, to new African jobs created with trade policy, to billions in old debts erased. And back in Washington, a political shift has taken place with Democrats and Republicans working shoulder to shoulder to partner with people of Africa as they work to lift their continent out of poverty, putting 29 million children in school in the last five years, with the help of debt cancellation.
Brian McLaren over at the Sojourners blog:
Some will quickly say that more could and should be done…But we should also acknowledge that much less could have been done. We should celebrate whenever good and beautiful things happen in this world, and President Bush has done some good and beautiful things for Africa. Kudos to him, and to all members of Congress of both parties – and to all Americans who can feel good that a portion of our taxes are being invested in this way.
More from Bono,
These are accomplishments the next president must build on. … I hope that the next president, whoever that is, will get to experience firsthand this beautiful and entrepreneurial continent that is rising to all of the challenges being sent its way.
Some additional thoughts from Bob Geldof, the Irish rock star/social activist [architect behind Live Aid concert in 1985 which raised money for debt relief for poor African countries] and who continues to be invested in Africa:
Mr. Geldof praised Mr. Bush for his work in delivering billions to fight disease and poverty in Africa, and blasted the U.S. press for ignoring the achievement [Washington Times]:
Mr. Bush, said Mr. Geldof, "has done more than any other president so far…This is the triump of American policy really," he said. "It was probably unexpected of the man. It was expected of the nation, but not of the man, but both rose to the occasion."
"What's in it for [Mr. Bush]? Absolutely nothing," Mr. Geldof said.
Mr. Geldof said that the president has failed "to articulate this to Americans" but said he is also "pissed off" at the press for their failure to report on this good news story.
Consider these words from Brian McLaren:
Let's also pause a minute to pray that our next president and Congress will continue and expand what's being done. The pain and need in Africa are so great that it will take governments, businesses, churches, NGO's, individuals, and intergovernmental agencies, all doing their best – assisted by the powers of heaven – to make substantial and ongoing progress. Thanks be to God for the good that has begun to be done. God bless Africa.
I'm not suggesting that we give President George Bush a free pass. But while many are chomping on the opportunities to hurl their final shots, I think it's worth highlighting his leadership with an intensely difficult environment in Africa. And may this be a reminder to us that while we aren't to place our ultimate Hope in our worldly leaders, we are nevertheless invited to lift them in prayer. So, whoever the next president may be, may we hold him or her in prayer and accountability for the great and burdensome work ahead.
And lastly, we must not release ourselves from our personal responsibility. Will you do your part to fight extreme global poverty?
And now that I've praised him, here's why I think he may go down as one of the worst presidents. The answer can be spelled out with four letters: I-R-A-Q.

by Jess Koski
It will come up in casual conversation. The family doc performing a digital prostrate exam mentions, "Yeah, I ran a 4:04 mile at West Point…"The massage therapist working out a tight hip, "I guess my claim to fame is that I won the Oregon State 2-mile race the year after Prefontaine graduated."An old hippie (old? yeah, he's like 55!) down the road once told me, as he worked some Drum tobacco into a Zig Zag paper and pulled at a jug of cheap red wine, that he'd placed third at State in XC.Anyone who has read the Duluth News-Tribune regularly will probably recognize the name Warner Wirta from the Opinion page. Activism is in his blood, as is running.I met with Warner at the Co-op in Duluth—where he makes regular appearances in the Deli.Wirta was born on a farm in Embarrass on Sept. 30, 1933. His father was active politically, involved in farming issues. His parents also handed down a fantastic heritage—that of a "Finndian."Oh…there goes Koski again on those Finns.Well, they're hard to avoid up here in 218 Country. And Finndians are often some of the most interesting characters—the Ojibwe blood "warming" the Finn it seems.Warner was a member of the legendary "Flying Finns" of Embarrass High School Class of '51. Though they never won State in cross country against the much larger schools of the south, they were within seconds of doing so.However, running solo, Warner garnered second place finishes in XC and the State track mile in '50, and won both events as a senior in 1951, the same year John Swain led his Duluth Central team to one of his XC titles (Go Trojans!)Wirta credits his coach, Ed Hendrickson, with the transformation of the team from "greenhorns to a well-oiled running machine." The boys had no experience, no tradition of running, no resources. Hendrickson bought Flying Finn singlets for all of his boys.Training consisted of distance work in the pastures and country roads, and a lot of half-mile repeats on dirt straight-aways.Wirta's HS mile personal best was 4:31, incredible given the tracks available in 1951 and only a 1/2 second off the state record of the day, he told me. He lowered his time to 4:20 a few years later.Another Flying Finn? Local PBS celebrity Marvin Lamppa, who's done a film history of iron mining in Minnesota.Giants.After graduation, Warner spent a couple of years in the Army just after the Korean Conflict had ended. Then he traveled to Kansas State Teacher's College where he again competed in Cross Country, winning the team event at Nationals in 1956-57.It was during this time that Wirta was invited to run the Olympic Trials at 5000 meters. His 15:20, 25th place in Bakersfield, California wasn't good enough to send him to Melourne, but it kindled the fires for a 1960 Olympic bid. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with a bone disease—Paget's, which can have many detrimental effects on the body— and his competitive running career was essentially ended. (Years later he tried to train for an early Grandma's Marathon, but blew out a calf muscle.)Like most runners of that time, running had to take a backseat to earning a buck. Warner took a job teaching at Orr High in 1960, where he taught until 1973. He then earned a Master's in Social Work at St. Cloud and worked with the VA. He's lived in Duluth since 1973.Wirta seems to channel much of that old running energy into thinking and writing about social injustice and Progressive politics. "Don't even get me started on that George Bush," he says with a wry grin. His letters are eloquent and impassioned and anyone with $2.95 left on his or her credit card can access his latest letter published on Sept. 19th. So much for "free" speech….So, the next time you see an older gentleman dozing in the sun at the corner table of your local food cooperative, give him a little shake and ask him, "Excuse me…what's your mile pr?"He might be a giant.

Originally a parish, in the union of North Aylesford, hundred of Toltingtrough, lathe of Aylesford, little is left today except a few houses south of the main road, and the tiny church of St Margaret. The family name was first referenced in the year 1198 when Scorland de Yfeld held estates in Kent.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Ifill or a variant listed above: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..

Cool scene, but what was the point of it all ?
| D.K. Archer chapter 1 . 8/23/2001
Actually, that was very well done. You managed to get your story across without a lot of stretching and the characterization was good, too. Sometimes short is good. This is one of those times. ;)
| Mistah Js girl chapter 1 . 7/9/2001
That was great, and I don't think it ended to quickly, I think you got to the point, showed the characters well, laid out a plot and a story, and came to a good and meaningful ending. You should really write more on this subject, I would love to read them.

"Teddy Stoddard" Posted by Angel8 at TNT
Angel8: As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant.
It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers. At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last.
However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise. Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is a joy to be around.."
Read More Link on Right
His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best, but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."
Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and he sometimes sleeps in class."
By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper That he got from a grocery bag.
Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.. But she stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist.
Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to."
After the children left, she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she quit teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one of her "teacher's pets.."
A year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy, telling* her that she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy. He then wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in life.
Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had been tough at times, he'd stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and favorite teacher he had ever had in his whole life.
Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time he explained that after he got his bachelor's degree, he decided to go a little further. The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little longer.... The letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, MD.
The story does not end there. You see, there was yet another letter that spring. Teddy said he had met this girl and was going to be married. He explained that his father had died a couple of years ago and he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit at the wedding in the place that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom.
Of course, Mrs. Thompson did. And guess what? She wore that bracelet, the one with several rhinestones missing. Moreover, she made sure she was wearing the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.
They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear, "Thank you Mrs. Thompson for* believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference."
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you." (For you that don't know, Teddy Stoddard is the Dr. at Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines that has the Stoddard Cancer Wing.)
Warm someone's heart today. . . pass this along. I love this story so very much, I cry every time I read it. Just try to make a difference in someone's life today? tomorrow? Just "do it". Random acts of kindness, I think they call it?
"Believe in Angels, then return the favor." Share and keep this message spreading!

Wow, what a great story and a reminder of who and what we should strive to be. This dinar venture has me in a state of mind of waiting on something. Thanks for this story recaps......its a reminder to get moving again. I just hope I can.
1/11/2014 12:57:04 pm
Unfortunately, this story has been around for years and is NOT true. Do your research and you will find out. Regardless, it is a tearjerker and there is a lesson to be learned, which is all that counts!
1/11/2014 01:52:08 pm
Ahhhhh.....but this story is true.....I happened to me.... And I hope I have played it forward......simple acts of kindness are sometimes the only thing a child has to hold on to. God Bless
1/11/2014 02:41:34 pm
This is beautiful and should make us all think about assuming that what you see is the whole story. It doesn't matter to me if it's a true story or not, because the truth is IN the story. Being kind to everyone everyday costs nothing and the rewards are great.Thank you for sharing!
1/11/2014 10:43:44 pm
While you may feel this is not a true story......however, there are teachers who inspire kids all over the world.. They assist them in over comming all sorts of impediments. And your only retort is to proclaim this is not true. Perhaps a reflection of how your life transpired? Or you just never paid attention to someone who unselfishly tried to make a difference in your life.....smh

fantastic story. extra tear from a cancer survivor.

I will never tire of reading, through teary eyes, this beautiful chronicle
Awesome point of reflection. I'm sitting here watching the Colts get beat and now I can't see the score because of the tears. You really shouldn't post stuff like this during football ... I don't look to manly watching the game while wiping away tears. My son just said, "Dad, the Colts are only down by two touchdowns." Lol

While this story may be fiction, there are thousands like it that are 100% fact. The difference is that most of those whose lives are changed are too busy helping change others' lives to brag about it.

It is so important that we remain constant in our way of dealing with people. Kindness, always counts. A kind word and a smile could save a life. We don't know what someone is going through. We must live our Christianity every day and love others as God, Himself has loved us. Help me dear Lord to love others as You do, is my prayer for 2014. Amen Rev. D.K.Baker ( Lady Di )

Angel18 and Dinar Recaps mods, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story. The particulars of the story may be of fiction, but the possibility and reality of truly believing in someone, seeing their potential, and then giving and working to bring that potential into reality is certainly not fictional. It is one of the highest joys and affirmations of a teaching experience: to believe in the capacity of another so much that you KNOW what you believe is true, and then to inculcate that belief in the heart of the student! I have been privileged to have been able to create miracles with a few; as such, I know that their lives will be forever magnified and emboldened from the successes we shared. The true moral is that we all have the capacity to make profound differences in the lives of others, and, in so doing, make our lives infinitely wealthier and nobler as well.
1/11/2014 04:50:02 pm
Whether the story is true or not doesn't matter. What matters is that the story is true of human nature and being human. I have a class with many of those same students. I'm glad to say that a few WILL be engineers in the not too distant future. They ask to come in after school to work on their projects and I'm happy to stay after school to help them. It's GREAT to see the "spark". Mrs Thompson understood. Finally, I understand.

You see, i too was watching the football game with family. I was reading this during the last 4 minutes....my young grandson saw my tears and gave me a hug and said..."its alright grandma, its only a football game, dont be sad." You see...we won. And i got the hug too!

Fortunately I come from the great state of Texas where it is not the story that is important, but rather the message. Twelve years ago I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. That day my life changed and my purpose became making a difference in other peoples lives. Since then, I have been able to anonymously impact many people in a positive way. Along with that, I have experienced a lot of success and three years ago (with no medical treatment) my cancer disappeared. The doctors can't explain it, but obviously someone likes the things I'm doing and isn't tired of me doing them yet. If you don't like the story, you may need a trip to your local mirror. Have a beautiful and blessed day.

I've lived in Des Moines all but 4 of my 71 years. The Stoddard Center is a dedicated cancer facility attached to Iowa Methodist Hospital where I was born. It's saving lives every day. It's the result of an early recognition of the value of EVERY human being. I'm grateful for people like Mrs. Thompson that take the time to care about something greater than just going to the "job"..

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for House Of Refuge Sunnyslope Inc, Phoenix, AZ, USA
I am currently a mentor at House of Hope Sunnyslope to a young single mother of three. I have served at House of Hope since October of last year and this is the second single mom I have had the privilege to work with. Although the first mom I worked with was asked to leave the program, I was completely supportive of and impressed by the Godly way everything was handled. Grace was extended by HOH leadership on so many occasions. In the end the decision to ask her to leave was only made after HOH leadership spent much time in prayer and sought Godly counsel. I now have the privilege of working with a mother who understands how blessed she is to be a part of this program and is working hard to be self-supportive mother and woman of God.
More Feedback

The young mother I currently mentor is an amazing example of what God can and will do. She is almost done w/ her education and is actively seeking employment in her new field.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would provide them with more resources. They do an amazing job with the resources they have, but I would love to see what they could do with even more.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
I am constantly learning new ways to communicate and gaining a better understanding of life in poverty.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Helen Rittelmeyer at First Things has written my favorite blog post of the day. It floats the theory that Arrested Development is a loose-ish retelling of The Brothers Karamazov.
Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, unless the family consists of a morally depraved patriarch and three highly differentiated siblings who, after years out of contact with each other, convene at the family home for a slowly escalating mess made inevitable by their respective and collective dysfunctions, in which case that family is unhappy in the same way as the Karamazovs.
If the same family is subjected to a criminal prosecution after being set up by a conniving quasi-sibling, if the brothers keep trying to mooch money off the family, and if the eldest brother is brash, the middle one smart, and the youngest one saintly, then we have to consider the possibility that this family actually is the Karamazovs, even if they call themselves the Bluths and they appear in an early 2000s Fox sitcom and not a nineteenth-century Russian novel. In which case Mitch Hurwitz (who has a degree in theology from Georgetown) is Dostoevsky. That's probably the most farfetched parallel in this comparison. The rest are uncanny.
Go read the whole marvelous post and prepare yourself for the overwhelming desire to take on a close re-watch of Arrested Development and a close re-read of Karamazov by the end.

North American Combined Heat and Power Generation Market
North American Combined Heat and Power Generation Market :Market Likely to Experience Upward Trend Backed by Regulatory Support and Positive Spark Spread
Jan 19, 2016, 16:24 ET from ReportBuyer
LONDON, Jan. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The research provides an analysis of the North American combined heat and power (CHP) market. It presents a forecast of the CHP market and lists the challenges and opportunities along with the regulatory framework and policies. The study also covers the current state and future potential of CHP in North America. Apart from the technological advancements and selection criteria for various CHP technologies, it discusses the economic feasibility and spark spread analysis of CHP units. The study includes a competitive analysis and discusses the market drivers and restraints. The base year of the study is 2014, while the forecast period ranges from 2015 to 2020.
Key Findings
-Combined heat and power (CHP) technology has the ability to save energy and reduce emissions. It therefore helps to reduce energy costs and provides more efficient thermal energy and electric power.
- At present, the United States has about GW of existing CHP installed capacity with more than industrial and commercial facilities. More than two-thirds of these facilities are fueled by natural gas, and the rest by renewable biomass, process wastes, and coal.
- This represents about % of the current power generating capacity and more than % of the total MWh generated annually.
- About % of the total CHP capacity finds application in industries that provide power and steam to chemicals, paper, refining, food processing, and metals manufacturing industries.
- The rest % is used to provide heating and cooling to hospitals, schools, university campuses, hotels, nursing homes, office buildings, and apartment complexes.
- CHP is gaining momentum in North America due to its role in increasing energy efficiency. Such benefits of CHP have been recognized by the Federal and State policymakers.
Key Questions
- What is the current status of the North American CHP market?
- To what extent will the CHP market grow by 2021? What are the factors driving the market's growth?
- What is the expected future capacity addition in the CHP Market in North America by 2021? Which sector is likely to experience a high demand for CHP?
- What is the government doing to promote the development of CHP in North America?
- What is the significance of spark spread in the CHP market? What is the correlation between favorable spark spread and natural gas prices?
