Jesus was clear the cost and determination; the result and reward of being His disciples. This truth is taught in Mark 8:34-38. For the total impact of these verses, I have decided to simply quote those verses for you today:
Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, "If anyone wants to be My followers, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me and the gospel will save it. For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his life? What can a man give in exchange for his life? For whoever is ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."
Did you see the cost? Deny self. Take up my cross. Follow Him. Lose personal wants and desires. Live a life that is unashamed of Jesus.
For those who are willing Jesus promises: a saved life, He will not be ashamed of Me in the presence of the Father. Jesus gives salvation, eternal life, real, and fulfilled life to those who are willing to follow Him.
Are you Following Jesus? Are you willing to pay cost? Are you experiencing salvation? Will you follow Jesus?
Praying today for:
(1) Lake O' the Pines = Mims / Avinger Cutt-off
(2) State = Texas
(3) Nation = United Kingdom (Great Britain)
(4) Sub-Saharan African Peoples throughout the World

"Just Before the Battle, Mother," by George F. Root, was one of the most-sung songs composed during the War Between the States. It enjoyed great popularity on both sides of the lines, being a great favorite of both Billy Yank and Johnny Reb. It was, like many songs of that time period, a very sentimental piece of music, and like many such, attracted parody-writers who lampooned the song's sentimental lyrics. Below are the original lyrics by George F. Root, as well as the lyrics to one of the more entertaining parodies.
1. Just before the battle, Mother,
I am thinking most of you.
While upon the field we're watching,
With the enemy in view.
Comrades brave are round me lying,
Fill'd with tho'ts of home and God;
For well they know, that on the morrow,
Some will sleep beneath the sod.
Farewell, Mother, you may never (you may never Mother)
Press me to your breast again;
But O, you'll not forget me, Mother, (you'll not forget me,)
If I'm numbered with the slain.
2. Oh, I long to see you, Mother,
And the loving ones at home;
But, I'll never leave our banner,
Till in honor I can come.
Tell the traitors all around you,
That their cruel words, we know,
In ev'ry battle kill our soldiers
By the help they give the foe.
3. Hark! I hear the bugles sounding,
Tis the signal for the fight,
Now, may God protect us, Mother,
As He ever does the right.
Hear "The Battle-Cry of Freedom,"
How it swells upon the air;
Oh, yes we'll rally round the standard,
Or we'll perish nobly there.

POPLAR GROVE — Poplar Grove Elementary teacher Megan Hughes is a BMX rider, competing in national races and bringing the experiences she encounters on the track into her classroom to pump up students.
POPLAR GROVE — Poplar Grove Elementary teacher Megan Hughes is a BMX rider, competing in national races and bringing the experiences she encounters on the track into her classroom to pump up students.
The 26-year-old Roscoe resident has been teaching for four years, the last two at Poplar Grove Elementary. In the fall, she'll move from teaching fourth-graders to the second-grade level.
"It's more about teaching them how to enjoy life," she said. "They need to learn everything at school and apply what they learn in real-world situations. When they see a teacher talking about a math equation about how many pedals from one jump to another jump, it connects for them.
"We did a math lesson about turns, 180 degree turns, and I showed them a clip of a rider, and they can really see it — versus opening a textbook."
Poplar Grove principal Sharon Olds believes it's Hughes' out-of-the-box thinking that helps to reach students who normally wouldn't be fully engaged in their learning environments.
"All good teachers use what they can to reach their students," Olds said. "Boys are sometimes harder to reach than girls, and she has a way of reaching them by bringing this stuff into the classroom."
A Schaumburg native, Hughes began her racing career in Elgin when she was just a kid, then expanded in her teens to compete Saturday mornings in Elgin, Saturday nights in Waukegan and Sundays in Rockford.
Now as an adult, she competes at the expert level for a RPM Factory team, taking on national races in the 26-30 women's cruiser bracket.
"I was 8 years old and had two brothers who were into (BMX), my dad was into it and I was the little girl that got dragged to the track," she said. "Ever since, I've stayed on a bike — I stayed racing."
In addition to racing, as the sixth-ranked female in the country for her age group in 2010, she helps to coach and manage a bike shop team through her boyfriend and BMX rider Brandon Laing's business, RPM — Rockford Precision Manufacturing, which designs custom bike frames.
Hughes believes this is another outlet where her teaching skills and riding mix as she helps to train riders from 5 to 60, with skill levels ranging from novice and intermediate to expert.
"Some of my students just started racing and it's really cool," she said. "It's kind of like teaching in a whole different atmosphere. I want them to have a more complete life, to go out and not just sit at home."
During the school year, Hughes competes in local races, and in Elkhorn, Wis. She uses the summer to travel to national races. She'll compete in Indiana and Minnesota in August, will go to a Redline Cup race later this year and will be one of the riders in The Grands in Tulsa, Okla., in November. She recently competed in the Midwest Nationals in Rockford.

When visiting an auto restore shop, go searching to see if there are licenses posted on that walls. These could embody state licenses and certifications of specialties, in addition to diplomas for levels earned. Relating to who is repairing the car that you just drive daily, you need them to be qualified and professional.
If it is advisable to repair a scratch or paint over an space, be sure to choose the appropriate shade. Examine the owner's manual to see if you'll find a code for the colour of your automotive or search for a sticker positioned under the hood or on the driver's facet entrance door to find the color code.
Unbiased garages and mechanics are often much cheaper than dealerships. You might get a reduction at your dealership if you happen to purchased your car not too long ago however don't make a habit of going to your dealership for those who discover their costs too expensive.

Looks like you have a managable pile of books to read. I liked Shatter Me but there was something that kept me from loving it, same thing with Anna Dressed in Blood. I guess I just had very high expectations when I read each one because of the hype behind each book. They are still good reads though so I hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for joining us for the read-a-thon, happy reading!
I'm 20% into Shatter Me, and so far I like it. I don't know that I'll love it though. And I know a lot of people have loved Anna Dressed in Blood, but I have a feeling it's not going to be my sort of thing. I guess I'll know when I finally read it.
You're welcome :)
I think reading Beautiful Disaster from Travis' pov will be interesting because I honestly felt his pov was missing in the first book. I wanted more of his background to be answered. Can't have a hot bad boy but with no bad boy past so that was the biggest thing I didn't like about Beautiful Disaster so I'm hoping with his story being told it will clear up the things I didn't like the first time around.Delete
Exactly! Well said!Delete
Yay thanks for joining! Hope you like all the books :) God luck.ReplyDelete
Thanks :) You too.Delete
Good luck with your goals.ReplyDelete
Thanks. I hope I get a lot read. You too :)Delete
YES! I can't wait for Walking Disaster! :DReplyDelete
Yay for first readathon and two books finished. :) Did you like your reads?ReplyDelete
Yay! Thanks. I did, I thought I would like them better, but they were still good.Delete
Did you like my post? Anything I can do to make it better? Leave a comment and let me know :) Thanks for visiting :)

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." – Lao Tzu
Since past couple of years, there has been too much buzz about 'The New Year Resolution' along with 'The New Year Night Celebration'. The buzz starts around beginning of December and disappear like a smoke by second week of January. I used to wonder the purpose of celebrating 'The New Year's Night' and the reason of the celebration. Is this a trend that most people follow to be part of it or a it's a cultural event? Do we really need to celebrate it? How should we celebrate this?
December 31st is an interesting day, everyone in all parts of the world is excited about welcoming the New Year in the best possible way. Families and friends get together, cities and towns are decorated and there is a strong feeling of happiness and joy all around. However, in this celebrative atmosphere, most of us don't even take a moment to answer few simple questions: What's in it there for me? Why should i celebrate this event? What are my achievements/failures for this year? and What can i do to make my life better next year?
Honestly, that's where the concept of new year's resolution kicks-inn. How many of us do actually take some time out to write down the resolution? How many of us keep track of it throughout the year? I'm surprised to find out the fact that actually very few people do that in reality – less than 1% of the people I personally know.
I strongly agree with the idea of celebrating the new year's night with zeal, zest and enthusiasm after working hard throughout the year to achieve the goals and the targets that had been set at the beginning the year in form of the resolution. Salute! to the people who do this year by year and strive for their real success.
There is no rocket science involved in writing down a 'New Year Resolution' neither it's task that involves high degree of complexity rather it only demands self commitment, focus and strong follow up throughout the year, every month, every week, every day. I never believed in this concept and hadn't done this throughout my life until last year.
Accidentally, while travelling on night of December 31st last year to meet my family and nothing much to do on the almost empty plane, I had the opportunity to write the resolution on my Samsung Galaxy Note II. In short span of time, I was able to write a wish list of 20 goals to achieve that I had been thinking about for last couple of years and promised myself to take actions about them this year and review my performance by same time next year.
After Jan 15th, I made a habbit of reviewing this so called 'New Year Resolution' note, week by week, month by month and writing down my progress with each goal. At this time of the year, although I didn't achieved 100% of what I had aimed but honestly, I have progressed significantly compared to past couple of years and that's my reason for real celebration this year's new year night.
From small beginnings come great things and it's never too late to get started. Believe me, the new year resolution had benefited me substantially and I strongly recommend to start it from this year. It will act as the main point of focus for you throughout the year. Here are few starting points, that I would like to share and being master of procrastination I was able to start this way:
- Summarize your activities for this Year
- Write down your list of goals/targets for the next year
- Prioritize your goals and targets
- Write down achievement mile-stones for each goal or each month
- Honestly review at least every week and track your progress
- Print the resolution and stick it somewhere where you can view it daily
The above list may seem to you either too long or complex. I suggest that you start with simple bullet points and take your time over next couple of weeks to enhance it and make it look better to yourself. Moving ahead with my last year's resolution, I have committed to continue to focus on existing goals and the targets with little bit changes and few additions for the next year, to find another solid reason for celebrating the New Year's night – next December !

text: This morning the wind was rather chilly. My colleague and I ran 4 miles as the sun was coming up and it was a great start to the day. The wind was to our backs for the first 2 miles so the return trip was slightly less enjoyable. I felt much more calm throughout the day though so I'm glad we ran before school!

Despite figures that show almost full employment in the US economy - the 5 percent unemployment rate is considered such by economists - female workers over 50 years old are finding it very difficult to get into the job market.
NYTimesA new study on long-term unemployment from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis found that the prospects for women over 50 darkened after the Great Recession. In 2006-7, before the downturn hit, less than a quarter of the unemployed in this group had been out of work for more than six months. By 2012-13, older jobless women accounted for half of the long-term unemployed.

LIKE a shimmering Christmas star, Lung Hing is an island of warmth, quiet and good food for holiday shoppers in the Woodbury Common.
The attractive Chinese restaurant, where Homer's Mo-er once was, beckons with tiny white lights surrounding its multipaned windows. Large stone Foo dogs flank its entrance. Inside, skylights make for sunny lunches, and large crystal chandeliers catch the light at dinner.
Chinese food is an economical choice for year-end budgets stretched to the limit. Lung Hing offers a complete family dinner for $11.95 a person, with selections from the familiar A and B columns. Or diners can turn any entree into a three-course dinner by adding $3 to its price.
For holiday waistlines also stretched to the limit, there is not only a special diet menu of nine choices, but also a dish called Healthy Steamer on the regular menu. It is available at lunch and dinner. The pristine assemblage of crisp Chinese vegetables, moist chicken and shrimp is served in a bamboo steamer with a soy-type dipping sauce on the side.
Undoing one's good intentions, though, are the bowls of crispy noodles that arrive at the beginning of the meal. At Lung Hing the bowls are refilled to overflowing before they are empty. Water glasses also are filled to the brim by the efficient staff.Continue reading the main story
Appetizers garnered more raves than main courses. The openers taking the most bows were the barbecued ribs and fantail shrimp. The exceptionally lean, meaty ribs were palate rousers. The shrimp, in contrast to the soggy leaden lumps so often encountered, were lacy crisp.
Other serendipitous starters were the dumplings. Whether fried or steamed, vegetable- or meat-filled, they were first-rate. Two appetizers that required a translator were the butterfly chicken and the bar far shrimp. White chicken meat was rolled around fingers of ham and pineapple and then wrapped in bacon and grilled until crisp. The shrimp, a portion consisting of just one piece for $2.25, was piled with shrimp paste and deep fried. It was pricey but tasty.
Soups also score. The familiar trio of hot-and-sour, won-ton and egg-drop are all worthy renditions. A splendid egg-drop takeoff, tomato egg-drop, deserves a try. Cubes of ruby ripe tomatoes add zest to the routine old standard.
Among the special soups served for two or more the preserved-pickle-and-pork soup takes top honors for its robust taste and tantalizing texture. The roast pork yat gaw mein, a noodle soup, at $4.50 costs about twice as much as other offerings, but the he-man bowl, topped with a full order of roast pork, is meant to be a meal. A touch of soy sauce was needed, however, to bring it to its full potential. Even more scantily seasoned was a casserole of shrimp and cellophane noodles in a wishy-washy broth.
The entree stars of the evening were the Chinese pastas. Both shrimp lo mein and chicken chow fun were smoky-flavored melds of soothing noodles, crunchy vegetables and tender meat or firm seafood.
The best of the rest were the tender Beijing pork chops; the whole fish with crisp skin, flaky meat and well-seasoned Hunan sauce; the shredded pork in garlic sauce and the chunks of chicken in a mild yellow-hued curry coating.
The strikeouts included a lackluster Peking duck with limp skin and scallions, chewy squid in black-bean sauce and the chue-cheng steak. The sliced meat was dry, and its sauce, billed as exotic, was a forgettable, slightly sweet amalgam.
In addition to a large selection of beer, including Chinese brands, Lung Hing has a full-fledged wine list. Not all the 30 wines on the list are available. Yet the French, Italian, Australian and California array far surpasses the limited offerings at most Chinese restaurants. A majority of the table wines are gently priced, between $10 and $15. An $11 bottle of Cotes du Rhone n/v from Beaujolais's leading wine merchant, Georges Duboeuf, is a light red that mixes well with Chinese food. A medium-bodied Barramundi white, 1990 ($13), held its own, as well. Lung Hing

Usakos still on auto-pilot
Swakopmund The Governor of the Erongo Region, Cleophas Mutjavikua, says the town of Usakos and its affairs still remain a major concern, as the town is still "on auto-pilot". According to the governor, Usakos has been operating without a CEO for a long time. He added that this is negatively affecting developments at the town. The governor made the remarks during his state of the region address in Swakopmund on Friday. He, however, noted that they are looking into the situation and are currently consulting with the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development to change the status quo of the once-bustling town. "We're in consultation with the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development to second a CEO in order to address the situation there, as the situation cannot continue like this. We want to see development at Usakos," he said. Usakos Town Council has a reputation of suspending or firing its chief executives without due process. Its current CEO, Gruzi Goseb, has been on suspension for a year now. Last year the council survived a last-minute attempt to auction off council property due to debts. The auction was attempted by a former employee to get compensation of slightly more than N$400 000, as awarded to him by the Labour Court in December 2012 for his unfair dismissal by council. Usakos Town Council then hurriedly agreed to make a payment of N$50 000 on a monthly basis until the debt is settled. As for Omaruru, which was investigated for corruption and saw a number of councillors suspended, the Governor added that Andre Plaaitjie, the corporate and human resource manager of Swakopmund Municipality had been seconded to Omaruru and this brought stability to the town. "Omaruru is steadily regaining its status. Henties Bay just won the best town in Namibia award last week." He said Karibib and Arandis remain the flagships of the region and prime examples of best practice.

text: According to researchers in the U.K., reducing pain can be as simple as crossing your arms across the middle of your body. Researchers believe that this position confuses the brain helping to reduce the intensity of pain. It's believed the brain has internal mappings for both the body and the external space outside the body that are usually activated together. The act of crossing the arms across the middle of the body interrupts the traditional mappings and as a result appears to lessen perceived stimuli such as pain. It should be noted that some of the most common chiropractic treatments, most specifically the chiropractic adjustment, also similarly affects the nervous system in a pain reducing manner.

Dynamical systems, stability, & chaos
In this project we will review aspects of the mathematics of dynamical systems, stability, and chaos within a historical framework that draws together the two major threads of its early development: celestial mechanics and control theory, and focusing on qualitative theory. From this perspective we will study how concepts of stability enable us to classify dynamical equations and their solutions and connect the key issues of nonlinearity, bifurcation, control, and uncertainty that are common to time-dependent problems in natural and engineered systems. Building on this foundation, we may investigate new problems involving stability of large complex networks, such as transport, communications, or ecological networks.

Saturday 7th October 2017
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibault Courtois, 25, is causing concern at Stamford Bridge as his new deal remains unsigned. The Belgian international is keen to move to Real Madrid instead.
But David De Gea isn't taking it lying down. The 26-year-old Manchester United goalkeeper is "pestering" his Spanish international team-mate Sergio Ramos over a move to Real Madrid.
Napoli striker Dries Mertens, 30, is already attracting Premier League attention from Arsenal but now Manchester United are running the rule over him.
Liverpool face competition from Inter Milan for Marco Reus, the 28-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
There isn't a striker worthy of the name whom Crystal Palace haven't been linked with in recent weeks. Now it's the turn of Besiktas and Turkey international Cenk Tosun, 26.
Andre Carrillo, 26, wants to swap the bright lights of Lisbon for the floodlights of Vicarage Road. The Peruvian is currently impressing on his season-long loan from Benfica.

I've found that there are a great many similarities between reading a good story, and trying to write one.
When I'm telling the story, I see myself in a clearing in the middle of a great and dark forest at night, with no one else around except a single reader. We're sitting on the ground across from each other with a mighty bonfire between us, and we can't see each other through the wood and the flames. There is a chill at our backs, but our faces are warmed by the heat. Only the sound of my voice carries beyond the pops and hisses and crackling of the fire as the logs burn and settle in place. As glowing embers dance skyward through a narrow opening into the sky, they quietly fade away, as if they are being blown out by the very breath of my words. As the story unfolds, we are both swept into the tale, and the most important questions for any storyteller become more and more urgent as the story continues: what happens next, and how does it all end?
There are times it's all I can do to keep myself from rushing to the end of a really great book. I fight, and lose, the battle every time to slow my pace as the story unfolds. I want to savor each moment and hold on to the world the author has created, just for me. I know that, too soon, the tale will be over, and that brings me joy, but it also brings a hint of sadness as well.
To be honest, I have to admit that I love sitting on both sides of that fire.

Venue Description
Mt. Claret was formerly the beautiful La Fonda Fiesta Guest Ranch.
In 1963, the Claretian Missionary Fathers purchased the property as a residence for its priests and for the expansion of the Cursillo Movement. The chapel was built on the property by the Claretians in 1969. In 1988, the Diocese of Phoenix purchased the property from the Claretian Fathers with the help of contributions received from the Cursillo Movement. The property was renamed "Mount Claret Retreat Center." The word "Mount" is from holy scripture and means, the "Presence of God." The name "Claret" comes from the name of the founder of the Claretian Order, St. Anthony Claret.
Mount Claret continues to operate as a Catholic Retreat Center, serving the entire Diocese of Phoenix.
Mount Claret is a sacred place nestled at the base of Camelback Mountain, whose mission is to provide an inspiring and tranquil place where the People of God can renew their Catholic faith.
Located in Phoenix on 54th Street, just north of Camelback Road, the Center is situated on 15 acres of beautiful Sonoran desert landscape framed by the majestic mountain and bright blue sky. This truly awesome sight beckons visitors to reconnect with the Lord in prayer and reflection.
Mount Claret provides an ideal location for your parish, school or Catholic organization's meetings and retreats, including Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), Teens, or Children retreats, Confirmation retreats, Women's and Men's prayer groups, and Catholic school or parish staff day retreats.

Unit 009
1. Outline the health and safety policies and procedures of the work setting
Health and safety policies are there to protect children, visitors and staff, all early years settings have to follow the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. My setting complies with ESTYN. All settings are covered by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 for Great Britain, my employer has responsibility for the health and safety of the children, staff and visitors. I have the responsibility for the health and safety of anyone who is at the setting.
My workplace must ensure that:
* The setting is well maintained and planned and designed with safety of users in mind. * The setting should be clean and safe
* Equipment must be used and stored safely
* The setting promotes the health and safety of children
For staff:
* The setting should be safe and not be a risk to our health. * Safe systems of working should be in place
* Articles and substances should be stored and used safely * Adequate welfare facilities should be available
* Appropriate information, training and supervision should be made for the health and safety of employees * Any protective clothing needed should be provided free of charge. * Certain injuries, diseases and occurrences should be reported to the Health and Safety Executive * First aid facilities should be provided
* A safety representative should be consulted about issues affecting health and safety in the setting Staff should:
* Know about the safety policy in the setting
* Take care of your own health and safety and that others affected by their actions * Co-operate with my employer on health and safety.
Here are a few ways that my setting complies with the act:
* Having a password policy, if parents cannot pick their child up and wish to have somebody else do it, the nursery will need a picture of the person from the parents and the person will need to know the pick up password for that child. * The front door to the nursery must always be locked and staff must always follow visitors out of the door. * All room doors are kept shut where you have to use a code to enter, the code is changed regularly * Ratios must always be kept
* All staff have an enhanced CRB check before starting work in the setting * Parents must fill a medication form if they wish for their child to receive medicine from a member of staff. The member of staff who administers the medicine must have a witness. * Substances which are included on the COSHH list, including bleach and general household chemicals, are stored in the laundry room under lock and key * All staff must lift children up in the correct way to avoid serious back injuries and risk of fractures and sprains to limbs.
2. Identify the lines of responsibility and reporting for health and safety in the work setting
Everyone is responsible for health and safety in any setting. In my setting my manager has the ultimate responsibility, secondly is my deputy manager. The senior's in my setting are responsible for their area, any accident, incident or near miss must be reported to my senior.
Rooms, outdoor areas and equipment are checked at the start and end of every day. Everyone needs to be aware of any faults or broken equipment during the day. If any faults or broken equipment are found, I report it to my senior, it is then written in the log book.
3. Explain what risk assessment is and how this is managed in the work setting.
Risk assessments are in place to ensure a safe, healthy and secure environment for children, staff and parents. Assessing potential risks ensures you minimize or prevent the risk from happening. It is my responsibility to ensure the children in my care are safe all the time, which means every day I complete a checklist. This checklist includes;
* All plug sockets are...

I know what you're thinking, and I'm a little surprised myself. On a good day, this site gets a meager 300 hits...by comparison, the prominent sports blogs get several hundred thousand visitors on a daily basis. Obviously, my site doesn't offer breaking news stories, and few people care about my opinion on, well, anything. But I guess there is a small niche that know all I have in this world, are balls and my world. So, I appreciate that some people have taken the time to actually write in and give me a couple of thoughts. Here is my first all-reader mailbag, with actual emails I've received over the last month (I'll keep these anonymous for now). I may have gotten the idea from Bill Simmons, but this won't be nearly as long....or interesting, for that matter...haha.
Q: I like the site but I don't get why don't you have more sports content? I think you should do a Kings blog or just a general sports one. Good job overall.
Thank you for the kind words. Well, I used to have a Kings blog on this site several years ago, back when it was primarily a Sacramento fan page. The thing is, I live in New York, and any of my observations would rely on televised games (still haven't decided if I wanna get League Pass again), online recaps and boxscores, and other blogs. Obviously, the Sacramento Bee does an excellent job of covering just about everything you could ask for, and Sactown Royalty is fantastic. In short, I don't know what I could really offer to intice Kings fans to come here for that reason.
This seems like the perfect time, however, to promote a new project. A few prominent Deadspin commenters (FEAST and Sports-Pun) and I have started a new NBA humor blog: LowPosts.com. There are already several entries, which are pretty damn funny, if I may say so myself. These two guys are much more creative and imaginative than I can ever be, so even if you think I'm as bad as Matthew Berry, just take a look. Now there's a ringing endorsement!
Q: dude - the hip hop pages are hot and i can tell you know your sh*t. but your ipod selection is whack!! r.kelly? some garbage pop bands? start listening to real music.
Hmmm....that's a fair assessment. See, here's the deal -- I probably own more hip-hop and R&B albums than just about anyone. I buy new releases almost every week, and listen to all kinds of underground artists. But you know what happens? I don't really understand this phenomenon, but I end up going back to the same old songs over and over again. I mostly listen to my iPod when I'm at the gym, so those tracks you see are more or less my workout playlist. You mention R. Kelly, who's my favorite R&B singer (seriously, and I don't care about the peeing or anythning). Ignition (Remix) is not only upbeat and catchy, but it's unintentionally hilarious. Some alternative/pop music has grown on me as of late, as I touched on here. I guess I do have a lot of non-rap stuff on there...maybe it's time I updated the list and made myself look a little cooler...nah....
Q: If you have a web site business selling products and services, then we can help you with internet marketing! We have helped thousands of companies to succeed on the web with our successful internet marketing and online advertising services. Now you can put these same services to work for your online business. Click the links on this page to get started now...
Yeah, I realize this is an advertisement, but it came to my inbox under "Feedback for DoktaKra.com," so someone clicked on my contact link. I don't really care for these marketing tactics, but if you would like to have your ad placed on this site, please let me know. As I mentioned, those 300+ visitors per day means close to 10,000 per month, so you never know....haha. The day I get a sponsor, is the day I know I've sold out...and I'm okay with this.
Q: Simple question. What's up with the Candace Parker stuff?
Haven't you ever been obsessed with someone you've never met in person, and devoted a large portion of your time to thinking about her, constantly searching for new pictures, posting numerous blog entries about how much you love her, and sitting outside of her apartment with binoculars? Er...scratch the last one. I guess that doesn't really answer your question then...sorry, I got nothing.
Q: Hi. My name is Amanda and if you're looking for a good time check out my webcam on...
Um....hey, Amanda, if that is your real name. Please don't use my website to send me this trash...but if you're gonna do that, at least include compromising pictures in the email body so I don't have to sit there and contemplate clicking on the link. Until we meet again....

6 ways to save money on takeaways
Ah, takeaways – they hold a very special place in every student's heart (and coronary). They also don't have to cost you an arm and a leg!
Treating yourself to a takeaway can be the highlight of your week, especially if you're missing home comforts and your mum's cooking.
But when you're living solely off your student loan, can your budget really stretch to the occasional fast food indulgence? Well, yes it can. In fact, ordering takeaway food can be a lot more affordable than you might think, provided you know how to order in the smart way.
We all deserve a treat every now and again – here's how you phone in the treats without getting tricked out of pocket!
We've put together these five top tips to help you save money when ordering your takeaway.
Order online
Gone are the days when you'd ring up your local takeaway to order your food from a now-defunct menu that had been floating around your house for years. Thanks to our trusty pal 'the internet', you can order from constantly-updated online menus from the comfort of your sofa.
Sites such as Deliveroo and Just-Eat let you browse menus from all kinds of takeaways in your area, and place your order online.
With lots of restaurants all competing for your custom in one place, they'll often run special offers to attract customers. These can be anything from freebies when you order over a certain amount, to 25% off your total bill.
And if you haven't got much cash lying around, there's no need to start looking down the back of the sofa. You can just pay online with your debit card at the time of ordering – you can even tip the driver online too!
Take a look at our current food and drink student deals and see if there's anything that gets your tummy rumbling!
Stretch your takeaway further
Knowing that you delivery is costing you more than it would if you made it for yourself can really niggle away at you (and your pockets).
Upping your order a bit (this can also get you a good discount if you go over a certain total) and reserving your leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day will make the whole delivery thing way more economical. Even dive in for breakfast if you feel like it!
Recreate the experience at home
Okay, so we realise that part of the attraction of ordering a takeaway is that it requires very little effort on your behalf, but there's no reason why you can't make your own.
You'll save money, and your creations will probably be a lot easier on the arteries!
There's a whole load of budget-friendly recipes over on our student recipes page, including chicken enchiladas and DIY pizzas (go for pre-made pizza bases if you're feeling particularly lazy).
We also spoke to a student chef who told us how to recreate our favourite KFC, Nando's and Wagamama meals at home for just £2 per portion - almost as good as the real thing for a fraction of the price!
You can also pick up this Takeaway Secrets book from Amazon to get all of your favourite fast-food recipes.
Get a job as a delivery driver

Got a few hours spare on an evening? If you're lucky enough to have a car, getting a part-time job as a delivery driver can be a great way to earn a bit of extra cash – and you'll probably get free meals out of it too!
Even if you don't have a car, companies like Deliveroo and other online delivery companies have started hiring staff to do deliveries by bike.
Not only will this mean you get lots of free food when money's tight, but you'll be able to burn keep fit and earn few bob in the process!
Read the flyers!

Keep your eyes open for special offers coming through your letterbox. If you live in a student area, you'll probably receive masses of takeaway menus every week.
Before you go ahead and chuck them in the bin, have a quick glance to see if there are any good offers available. Some companies offer a different deal each day, including freebies when you spend over £10.
When placing your order, make sure you ask about deals, and double check the figures if you're ordering online. They're not always automatically added, so you need to check that you'll receive the offer.
Also beware that sometimes (rarely, but it does happen) the special offers don't actually work out cheaper. Always do the maths before placing your order.
Search the supermarket for 'takeaway' options

Many supermarkets now offer their own versions of popular takeaways. You can buy everything packed up in a box, ready to just stick in the microwave or oven when you get home.
The prices of these items are often much less than you'd pay for a real takeaway, but are almost as tasty and more convenient. Whether you prefer Indian, Chinese or Italian, you'll find a wide range of choices.
Marks and Spencer regularly offers its Dine In For 2 deal that will get you a main course, a side dish, a dessert and a bottle of wine for two people to share, for around £10. Posher than a takeaway and probably cheaper too!
If you follow these tips, you could find that a regular takeaway isn't too taxing on your purse.
Have you managed to save money on takeaway food? We'd love to know how you did it, so leave your comments below!

In my blogging that is. Life has been busy. Imagine that! Christmas is in less than 1 month now, and I haven't bought a single gift. Well, I did buy one that I hid in my closet and the boys found already… but other than that! And how I dread Christmas time parking lots… I remember being at Scarborough Town Centre once, and seeing two ladies get into a fist fight over a spot. I always park at the very back. No driving around for 20 minutes to try and save a 2 minute walk to the doors for me!
We're trying to convince Scott to go to a tree farm this weekend, so that
he we can cut down our own tree. I'll have the girls ask him tomorrow. They always have better luck than I do for some reason!
But now- I'm going to teach my children. I was planning on a picture day today- but it's so gloomy out. I think it will have to wait!
Now I'm just trying to come up with a fun idea to countdown the days to Christmas with the kids. Not into having 7 chocolate calendars sitting around the kitchen all month.
Countdown to Christmas break begins!

American Multinational Corporation headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, that designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes vehicles and vehicle parts, and sells financial services, General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) plans to rehire 500 Michigan assembly plant workers who are to be laid off in May, due to amplified demand for larger vehicles, by 2018.
Last week, as said by Reuters, GM had plans to lay off roughly 1,100 workers in May at its Lansing Delta Township assembly plant and moving production of the GMC Acadia mid-size SUV to Spring Hill, Tennessee, from the factory, which will build just two models, the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs. The company said that when it begins full production of the new versions of the two models in 2018, it would "bring back approximately 500 jobs to give the company flexibility to meet market demand."
The company state that they would add 220 jobs at a plant in Romulus, and it would retain 180 jobs by shifting Lansing workers to a Flint assembly plant to support the manufacture of pickup trucks.
"We haven't fundamentally changed any of our plans, but we continue to look for ways to improve our operations and find ways to help the country, grow jobs and support economic growth," spokesman Pat Morrissey said.

Hone your hunting skills with these turkey hunting tips from a professional. It will get you out in the woods and dial you in for the sights, sounds and signs of wild turkey that will set you up for hunting success on the opener.
This tutorial from Bill Cooper may help the novice, and even veteran turkey hunter, by going over the basics of successful scouting.
The importance of early and thorough scouting cannot be overstated. It is as important as good calling, decoy placement and hunter camouflage once the season opens. I am a true believer of not only scouting from your vehicle to locate birds in the winter, but also in getting out on the land and looking for signs and sounds of turkey. In my area we now have quite a bit of snow but I have accessed some new areas by snowshoe and have already scoped some new hunting spots for spring by locating turkey sign.
Using effective turkey hunting tips is particularly important for those of us who hunt public land. It will give you the advantage and increase your chances of bagging that bird this spring.

He's better off just presenting his anecdotal experience. I'd stipulate scriptural support for universal morality since that is what the majority of religions preach. Don't mean dick.

You don't need to definitively prove anything. You need to provide some sort of evidence to make you claims sound credible.
Quote:The fact that learned or wise men from before written history to now have made it there life's work to make things known to others that to them seemed of the utmost importance, in all they did is something.
Yes, but it doesn't mean they were right. Cherry-picking things that agree with your philosophy is kind of pointless because you can pick scriptural quotes to justify all sorts of things.
Quote: You actually call it part of evolution.
No, I suggested that might be an answer to where it came from. I try not to make claims that I can't demonstrate have some backing. I see evidence for evolution; I see many social species; I see the reasoning for how altruistic tendencies could evolve; I see things like mirror neurons which provide a physiological basis for it. All of that tells me that natural processes can explain how so many people come to similar philosophies and that seems to be the best explanation we have so far. I hear claims that there is some kind of god behind it all but, as has been said before, I see no need of that hypothesis.
Quote: I can get on board with that. Indeed it is a natural process. Life trying to better its chances of continued survival.
You need to stop anthropomorphizing "life". There is no evidence that anything is actively trying to better its chances under the theory of evolution.
Quote: So if the natural instinct or drive to continue life in the most beneficial way is indeed a part of our very existence, then isn't that proof of life striving to exist?
I think you are conflating the individual, the species, and the biosphere. Individuals may be said to strive to exist although that may be more of an outside perspective on it. Species and "life" don't strive for anything. Shit happens.
Quote:What I'm trying to say is that nature and the coarse of all existence, to me, was all set in motion by a creative force on some level.
Even if I granted everything you've said about striving to exist there is nothing that supports the idea that there was a creative force to start it all. That may be an option but we do not have evidence for that. You are using a god of the gaps to fill a hole in our knowledge.
Quote:If that were the case then it helps to explain this trait that can be seen from all walks of life and in most socially efficient species.
Proposing a sufficient answer to a question does not tell you that it is necessarily the correct answer. If I come home and my garbage cans are knocked over I can guess that my neighbor could have done it so that explains it. It answers the question of how they got knocked over but without actual evidence it is just a guess. If there was a creative force then it would explain a lot of things but without evidence it is just a guess.
Quote:Of course the amount that it is readily observed is actively thwarted by an opposing force(greed) in humans.
I see no evidence that humans are qualitatively different in that than other species.
Quote:Just my opinion, and quite possibly hard to decipher.
You've been relatively clear today. There's just still no reason to think any of your ideas are on solid footing.
Atheism: it's not just for communists any more!

RE: Scriptural support for universal morality
"Universal morality" is kind of an anal retentive stick up the butt that fundie religionists have. It's easily debunked. Every culture on the planet has at least one of it's own ethical systems. I'd venture to bet that Pops has never even taken ONE academic course in Ethics or Anthropology.
Insufferable know-it-all. It is objectively immoral to kill innocent babies. Please stick to the guilty babies.

Cherrypicking is when one take a single verse or sentence out of context to fix into a claim. Perhaps to have noticed that I am posting entire chapters or the like. Not really cherry picking. There are hundreds more. If I was cherry picking then that wouldn't be the case.
As far as using an observation to make a theory is concerned; that s what's is Don i n the scientific comunirt as well. None of it is proven except for the readily observable parts that are disected or reverse engineered. The rest is indeed theory.
RE: Scriptural support for universal morality
I have to admit... Watching most things where Pop's is involved is like watching a train wreck in motion.
Take the last post as compared to Pop's first post.
Things just fall apart as Pops puts more and more onto the forum.

The one that is easiest for me to copy/paste from is that one. I'm working on that. I prefer older versions due to the fact that initial meaning can be lost by attempting to modernize the texts. I'm actually interested in learning Hebrew. It's supposed to be quite poetic and may bring at least a little less misdirection. Actually though; the texts aren't too full of contradictions. It's the false teachers that are mostly responsible for the hypocrisy and misdirection.
A real example might be an individual that believes whole heartedly that Jesus is and always has been utterly equivalent to the One Creator GOD. This belief in itself has its own flaws, but the obvious sign of the false teacher in this case would be the deviation from what is actually taught in scripture, and the quickness they display in judging others who ent believe the exact same thing. In scripture it says that Christ is the way to GOD, not GOD in and of itself. Generally a false teacher will have high levels of spite for any who question or disagree with their doctrine. Since one of only two commands in the bible for gentiles is to love thy neighbor as you love yourself, its a dead giveaway. Another one actor would be the persons instant willingness to condemn and belittle another, also opposed to the actual teachings of Christ and the prophets whom all state to show mercy and not to judge with false scales, in that words judge all equally as you yourself wish to be judged.

Note: this is not addressing the original poster. Pops, I am not engaging you, so please don't reply to this post.
But a question to the group: If the morality is indeed objective, shouldn't god be bound by it also? God seems to be incapable of stepping out of his own morality in some other circumstances--for example, god doesn't seem able to say to Adam's children, you aren't sinners, even though your parents were.
Another example: "Thou shalt not kill"--there is not qualification there, so does that mean that god also should not be killing?
Of note, this is only the Christian tradition being quoted, so it is not in any way universal.

KS1 Choir
Our KS1 Choir were excited to perform at the Infant Music Festival held at the Freight House this term. They sang beautifully, behaved impeccably and represented the school extremely well. All the songs were based around colours and included Yellow Submarine and Sing a Rainbow.
I am extremely proud to report that, for the second time in three years, Edwards Hall Boys' Football Team has once again become the 'Champion of Champions'.
On Friday 22nd May, the boys travelled to Roots Hall (Southend United's stadium) to play Sacred Heart Primary School. The boys were already undefeated champions, winning all five of their league games, but they were to face a team who were also league champions in their own right.
In an absolutely enthralling match, the boys went 2-0 up before being pegged back to 2-2. This meant one thing: extra time. With the prospect of a penalty shootout looming, the boys managed to work two excellent goals with only a few minutes remaining to win the match 4-2. The boys showed the skill, determination and never-give-up attitude that has seen them be so successful this year and, on behalf of the rest of the school, I would like to say how proud of them we all are as well as a massive congratulations!

Gardening Club
Gardening club has been busy again this year, from creating art using the outside space, to growing lots of veg to creating a new scarecrow.
The schools new friendship garden has been watered and weeded a number of occasions. Our willow dome is now looking good – it recovered from the really dry summer last year and has put on loads of growth. Lucia, one of our members entered a gardening competition and won the school £200 in gardening vouchers!
We've grown, carrots, beetroot, raspberries, strawberries, rhubarb and potatoes. It was really exciting to see how many potatoes we had grown and how huge some of the beetroot had got.
For the summer fayre we made plant markers and sold plants donated by a local church.
Our school choirs practise on a Wednesday after school each week. This year they have taken part in a number of events including Young Voices at the O2 Arena, the SEESMA Music Festival at the Cliffs Pavilion, KS1 and KS2 Music Festivals at the Freight House and other local events. Both choirs came together with our school orchestra and year 4 clarinet players at the end of term to show their families how hard they have been working and performed beautifully at our Summer Concert.

SYMPHONY project is completed into aflatoxin research
Epigem is today (11 July 2017) celebrating completion of its research into Aflatoxin detection in milk, as part of the EU-funded SYMPHONY project. At the same time, the company announced that it has filed a patent based on this work.
The industrial partners Epigem and Lionix developed novel microsystem solutions in the form of sample preparation using microfluidics (Epigem) integrated with detection using micro-optics (Lionix). Further development of the analytical solutions and instrumentation created will benefit both animal welfare and food safety threatened by climate change.
Epigem has deployed its expertise in microfluidic technologies to provide a miniaturised device capable of sample handling, purification and concentration.
The project developed a number of options such as de-fatting which was as efficient as a centrifuge and enables animal tests times to reduce from hours to minutes, depending on sample size. This included a micro-fluidics solution from Epigem by numbering up multiple devices.
This was an essential first step in producing an instrument which analyses aflatoxin in milk quickly and efficiently at the dairy gate, the farm gate or the cow's udder.
The next phase of the project for Epigem was to concentrate the toxin from the de-fatted milk by a factor of at least 50, trapping up to 30%, to enable detection levels better than 25 parts per trillion of aflatoxin.
The concentrator used a high surface area of material, packed into a small contained volume with the following properties;
· The high surface area element did not severely restrict the flow of prepared sample or filter out particulates i.e. block under flow conditions.
· The high surface element created a controlled pressure drop to force interaction of sample material with available surface area.
· The material forming the element enabled trapping of the desired molecule (in this case Aflatoxin).
· The trapped molecules were then released into a much lower volume, thereby leading to a much higher concentration.
The concentrate was then analysed at the University of Trento using Lionix BV optical detection technology. FBK, based in Italy, led the project and contributed to sensor development, surface biochemistry and microfluidics, while Acreo in Sweden provided expertise in the surface chemistry for trapping, and the testing of the concentrator.
FBK and Acreo integrated the technologies in the final demonstration, at a Concast dairy in Italy, one of the partners. Quadrachem Laboratories (QCL) provided practical expertise and made the business case for this analytical instrument in the dairy industry.
Dr Tim Ryan, MD of Epigem, said: "This was a challenging project which has significantly progressed the detection of Aflatoxin in milk, a problem likely to increase because of global warming.
"I am pleased at the progress we have made and the potential in the future, and we have filed a patent to help secure the commercial opportunities. The work completed through this project has the potential to save lives."
Aflatoxin contamination in Europe is a growing problem, albeit from a low base, while there are major problems in India, Africa & S America. Dr Ryan added: "Epigem is now looking to address problems of contamination of milk in these areas, and we are seeking new partners to develop and trial the technology where it is most needed."
SYMPHONY's (European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7-ICT-2013-10) under grant agreement n° 610580) aim was to deliver an integrated systems project to improve the quality and safety of milk by the rapid detection of aflatoxin M1 in milk for the dairy industry, which could ultimately enable testing of these carcinogens to be carried out at an individual farm or dairy level.
Epigem manufactured the microfluidic components used for milk sample preparation. The company's product development strategy is to continue to build a portfolio of complementary technologies providing a sustainable business for the manufacture of key components and modules with increasing levels of integration (e.g. process control electronics) for sale in instrumentation in a range of healthcare applications where there is a well-defined unmet needLatest News | `

What's awesome about Marvel films—besides all that comic book superhero goodness—is that they always have those cool after-credits scenes that keep us glued to our seats as the credits slowly roll away. The same will happen with The Avengers: except don't leave after the first after credits scene, 'cause—yep—there's a second one to see.
Christopher Campbell, aka @thefilmcynic, who is editor of the Documentary Channel Blog, a documentary columnist and a contributing writer for Movies.com, tweeted about the existence of the second after-credits scene.
(Just click on the pics to make them bigger. You guys know the drill.)
We don't know about you, but we're actually really curious about that second bonus after-credits scene. Does it set up the arrival of upcoming new Avengers team members like Ant-Man or Doctor Strange in any way? Now WE really wanna know. Do you?
Well, Christopher Campbell DMed the answer to those who did want to know, and we've put it right here below.
Okay ...*SPOIIIIIILERS*
You've been warned.
Here it is, then. The second after-credits scene features:
the entire team sitting down after the final battle and eating shawarma. It lasts for roughly a minute and features no dialogue, although Mark Ruffalo reportedly struggles to keep a straight face throughout.
There you have it! Will you stick around for the second Avengers after-credits scene? Are you guys disappointed by what it is, or do you think it could be one of the coolest scenes ever?

Can you believe it? I got up this morning at 7am and went for a walk around the block for about 20 minutes. Now before you start admiring me or giving me that dirty "look" you should know one thing.
Scoti my border collie has too much freakin energy, but she deserves some freedom. I had been letting her roam around the yard but she took advantage of it and tried to roam the neighborhood.
So my morning walk was inspired by my desire to tire ms.scoti. And it work. I am now at work and I'm sure she's asleep in her pen inside the house.
much love
47, I can totally relate. We rescued a german sheppard mix a couple of months ago. She needs some freakin ritalin or something. She has so much energy. We have housed trained her because we don't have a fence. But she just wants to be free and run and run. I don't walk her, she walks me!
I have fallen deeply in love with her and try to walk and run with her as much as possible. I know she's happy here in the home, but I try to give her what I know she really wants. To run and be free.
Did I mention, that we were just suppose to keep her long enough to find her a good home. Now, I have fallen in love with her. We now have 2 cat's and 2 dogs that we've rescued for one reason or another and they all love each other.
I don't have a fence either. She's still trying to mark her territory in the HOUSE, but I can't let her outside alone, she wanders off and is so friendly that I fear for the person's "safety" if she gets too close.
much love
Teeky...Come walk on the beach in the morning with me
Teeky, you need a puppy!
That will be all the motivation you will need. You will either jump up quickly to take her for a walk (several times a day) or......you will be on pooper scooper duty. LOL
Forget the pooper scooper thing, we're trying to get you motivated here. Right?
Almost, I would give anything to walk on the beach every morning. The beach air is so powerful and soul cleansing.
When I do go to the beach, I go out every morning early with my coffee and just let the wind carry all my troubles out to sea. It's amazing how it can just release you.
It really is powerful..especially if you can get out just before the sunrise.
Okay, that's it!! Tomorrow morning sunrise walk. I'm going to take my camera and take a picture for you guys...that should help motivate you Teeky.
That will just make us jealous almost50! ) I am with Lisa - soul cleansing describes it perfectly. I think for me it gives me a tiny glimpse of how big God is, and I feel engulfed by that magnitude. I love the beach, the ocean, the constant breeze. I think I want to move to Cancun instead of Colorado. LOL
I live in Texas close to the coast, it wasn't 30 degrees but it wasn't 90 either. I put on two jackets and a beanie.
I know the beach in the morning feeling from vacationing on the resort in what was once Galveston.
Maybe we need another LET'S DO THIS DAY. We can commit to walking, jogging or running tomorrow morning at sunrise or 7 just long as you do something and then we can get together over that cup of hot chocolate, coffee or hot tottie you know what I mean.
Happymoma...maybe you're right...lol...scratch that Teeky.
And I also agree that it gives me a glimpse of how big the Universe is and how I am still a part of it. It's amazing!
I've never been to Colorado but I know there are some awesome sites there as well.
Teeky we are going to have to work on your motivation girl!
That's a good idea 47!
Teeky stop making excuses...lol. Of course people are up!
You'll find your groove once you start moving again. I'm sure your groove is trying to find you too you just got to move toward it.
I know girl, it's hard...you know I understand. This will pass.
Transitions are all about growth. Be gentle with yourself and use this time to get to know you better. Don't look at it as a bad thing...this is your time.
As it is in farming you gotta till the ground, turn it upside down to promote new growth, fatter crops, bigger rewards.
Yes your life might seem in turmoil, and you can change your viewpoint, till it, turn it over and turn it into the life of bigger rewards.
much love
47...That's an excellent way of looking at it.
I'm IN for the walk commitment!! I better start doing something!! lol
Okay Jenz,...we are going for 7:00 sunrise walk, yoga, tai kwon do, dance, stretch, whatever you feel workout tomorrow. Then we'll meet here and tell how it was, what we experienced or whatever over coffee.
Ya'll game?!
That's the name of the walk "Sunrise Walk."
Which means Teeky can participate when the sun rises on her planet and we can "gather" afterwards. I like it.
much love
OK...I'm in for the sunrise walk! I will start in the morning..Sunday. I didn't get back on last night. Can't wait!

Guerrillas yesterday killed 22 Iraqi cops and soldiers in an attack on a police station south of Baghdad, after other thugs kidnapped four Egyptian technicians, officials said.
Also, a GI from Task Force Baghdad was killed and two others wounded yesterday in a roadside bombing north of the capital, the U.S. command said.
Fourteen attackers died in the police station attack, under cover of darkness, in a town 50 miles south of Baghdad, but the brazen assault also left five Iraqi National Guardsmen and 17 cops dead.
Two rockets also exploded near Baghdad's airport and a third slammed into an Iraqi National Guard building in a western suburb. No casualties were reported.
The attacks were the latest sign that militants are stepping up the pressure on Iraq's fledgling security forces.
The four Egyptians, employed by a cellphone company, were snatched in Baghdad in broad daylight.
It was the second kidnapping in three days following Friday's abduction of Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, as officials fear a new wave of foreigners being snatched.
More than 170 foreigners have been taken hostage in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.
Officials say kidnapping subsided in November after U.S. Marines smashed their way through Fallujah, a city 40 miles west of Baghdad described as a hotbed for guerrillas.
