We are the world changers. The visionaries. We are the strongest political movement ever known. We have no borders or bounds.
We seek to establish justice and ensure domestic tranquility through grace filled lives, serving hands, and faithful hearts.
We are the diplomats of grace. The people with hands made to serve and hearts made to heal and branch out.
We are the vine gatherers, grasping with grace at those who are lost.
We are the warrior raising women, moms of boys who will proclaim truth in the loving of their wives and the raising of their families and the way in which they walk, upright with heavy steps that bear much weight.
We are the bearers of beauty, daughters who will grow to know their place in God's heart. Women with gentle spirits, contending in battle for wisdom, humility and purity. Wise as serpents but innocent as doves. The daughters of God who will bear a new generation of Kingdom changers.
We are the guardians of hearts and minds, pouring our grace words into spirit children and planting them deep in His fold.
We are the lovers of justice, providing nourishment to the poor, advocates for the defenseless, defenders of the weak.
We are the mighty archers, aiming arrows sharpened and ready at an enemy that is neither democrat or republican, pro-choice or liberal, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
We fight on our knees with hands raised to the heavens.
We fight with our hearts burdened by love for those who are lost.
We may cast our vote, we may carry our sign, stay informed, rally for the candidate we want to support, or speak our mind, but still we know where the ultimate ruler reigns. Because we have never really belonged here. We are expats for a season, in a world that is not our own.
We see with sharpened eyes, all's grace. All is grace.
We know the cost. We have seen our passport stamped and paid for in blood. Citizens of grace.
We are the ambassadors of a new Kingdom.
While I was at Blissdom, I had the chance to meet with CafeMom correspondent Lindsay Ferrier to do an interview on where I stand as a Christian, homeschooling mom, and small business owner in the realm of politics, public opinion, and education.
It was lovely to meet with her and represent what I believe a lot of Christians feel. While many of us are involved deeply in politics and government, we should never forget that we are Christians first and foremost. Our witness to the world says more than the sign in our front yard.
Jesus is not a Republican. This world's politics are too limiting for a Holy and infinite God. I may ruffle some feathers, but there, I said it.
That being said, I am a writer, and talking on camera was a big leap out of my comfort zone and only slightly more traumatic than that dream where I showed up at a homeschool co-op in my underpants.
Besides accidentally going to the wrong lobby and missing the car to take me to the interview, having to run across the Gaylord Opryland Hotel which is ginormous, grabbing a taxi, and being late, I managed to babble a few coherent sentences on what I believe. Lyndsay was gracious and professional, and I couldn't have asked for a better interviewer for this camera shy introvert. You can view it here.
What is your stance on politics as a Christian? What do you think our responsibility is to the world in regards to our government? Do you feel like secular culture views all Christians and angry, narrow-minded bigots? Or do you think society has a different view of Christians? What is your experience?

The case of Callie Long has been in the news for more than a year, and many people have heard of Long or Brett Walrath, who she allegedly killed in a drunk driving accident in August 2003. The jury selection process took more than seven hours today, and nailing down an unbiased jury was challenging for attorney's.
Both sides want jurors who don't already have an opinion on the guilt or innocence of the defendant. NewsChannel 11 talked to a woman who was not selected, she says out of the original 100, her likelihood of being picked ranked at 97 out of 100. Even so, attorneys had her go through the process in order to expand the chances of finding those who haven't already created an opinion from all the media.
Trial Begins in High-Profile Drunk Driving Case
Potential Juror, Susan McDonald, said "I think because it's so high profile they wanted to make sure that-- so many people had heard or read about it-- that they had enough to be able to get an unbiased jury from it."
McDonald was one of around 85 not selected to serve as a juror. Casey Loafman was another. The amount of attention the case has received is likely one reason many of the potential jurors were dismissed.
NewsChannel 11 asked Loafman if he remembered how many potential jurors said they had seen articles and news reports concerning the case. He said, "I'd say nearly the entire courtroom."
Such exposure can make the selection of an unbiased panel a difficult task.
"When the facts are widely publicized, as in this case, then there may be quite a few jurors who have an opinion about the guilt or innocence of the defendant," said Floyd Holder, Attorney at Law.
At the time of the accident, reports show Long's blood alcohol level was .13 when she allegedly hit Walrath. Due to the alleged alcohol involvement, potential jurors were asked if they had lost someone in a similar alcohol related incident. NewsChannel 11 asked Loafman how many people said yes to that. He said, "I think maybe a fourth or so."
Holder says those who answered yes probably already have an opinion on Long's verdict, he says those people were likely dismissed.
Another factor in the selection is that Walrath worked in the Lubbock District Attorney's office, because of that many people knew him personally as a husband and father. "There were some (potential jurors) who knew the family personally, so I think automatically that would be strikes against them on jury," said McDonald.
Because of Walrath's employment in the DA's office, that made it hard to find an unbiased lawyer, whic is why Criminal Attorney Rod Hobson is trying the case.

Coastal Music Lovers came in droves as early as 8:30 am to find that premier spot on the Beach for the annual beach festival ritual. Gates opened early to help ease the huge crowds waiting to get on the Beach awaiting The Craig Woolard Band beginning at 11:00 am. The Band of Oz and the Jim Quick & Coastline rounded out the music pleasures for the afternoon. Throughout the day, the masses danced, shagged and moved to the Carolina Beach Music beat forming a "Love Train" as long as the Boardwalk and line dancing in unison to classic Beach Music favorites. There were at least 4 generations of music lovers spread across the Beach, occasionally dipping in the Atlantic when the sun got too hot.
The 6th Annual Shag competition closed out the evening at The SeaWitch Café & Tiki Bar where hundreds enjoyed the friendly competition in four categories, where thousands of dollars in prize money was awarded. The Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all of the sponsors, the incredible volunteers, the Town of Carolina Beach Operations Department and mostly the participants for coming out to enjoy another beautiful Pleasure Island day at the Beach. See you next year!

What is Worship?
Now that I'm older, I realize there is a difference. But what is it? As one of its definitions, the American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language equates worship with "the reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object." As a verb, worship is "the ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which this love is expressed."
If we accept this definition, we admit that something other than God—the true God—can be worshipped. This makes sense, of course. If we claimed that only deity can be worshipped, Jews and Christians would be forced to dismiss any Biblical accounts of worshipping false gods (either that or seriously reinterpret them), while the atheist would have to suppose that nobody in history has actually worshipped. "Worship," for the atheist, would become a void term.
But if we allow things other than God to be worshipped, will this affect our concept of worship? If a man possesses a "reverent love and devotion" for his wife, and if he views marriage as a sacred institution, does he worship his wife? This seems to fit the definition given above (unless we get picky and say that a wife is not a "sacred object," in which case we can just as easily accuse the man of worshipping the institution of marriage itself). It seems our definition needs some tweaking.
By inserting a subjective requirement into the definition, we may find our solution. Perhaps worship is "the reverent love and devotion accorded to someone (or something) that is considered deity." This definition makes no claims about whether or not a worshipped being actually exists. One isn't forced to believe in the gods of Greek mythology to believe that people did in fact worship Zeus. Thus, our definition allows both religious and non-religious persons to recognize the existence of worship, even when such worship is seen as being "false" in some way or another. At the same time, our happily married man cannot be accused of worshipping his wife, because he does not consider her to be deity.
The problem is, something still seems to be lacking. Is it accurate to say that the pious Muslim, who feels "reverent love and devotion" to Allah, is constantly in the state of worship? Or is he only worshipping Allah when he is consciously aware of this love and devotion? Perhaps it isn't a problem. Perhaps we are comfortable saying the religious devotee is always in the state of worshipping his/her god, just as we are comfortable saying the devoted husband always "loves" his wife, even when he isn't reflecting on it. But there seem to be theological consequences in taking such a stand. When a religious devotee engages in something he/she views as sin, is this person still engaged in worship? It seems counterintuitive to suggest that he/she is. For even if a "reverent love and devotion" for God exists within that person, the fact that it remains so hidden suggests that worship cannot be taking place. Certainly devotion cannot be consciously recognized while sinning occurs, even if in some twisted way love can.
This means that worship, at the very least, must be "the conscious recognition of reverent love and devotion accorded to someone (or something) that is considered deity." So is this our definition? When a Christian claims to worship God through song, is this merely because the song brings them to an awareness of God-focused love? Does the woman who, while taking her morning jog, recalls her love for Jesus thereby automatically engage in worship? Is one able to worship without seeking a spiritual communion with deity? Without praying or otherwise "speaking" to God? Our current definition does not imply a reaching out to God, but merely a recognition of our attitude towards Him. It is not even a recognition of God directly, but a recognition of how we feel about God. Are we content with such a definition?
I have not tried to provide a final answer. I do not feel I have one. In my own experience, I feel that worship does require a spiritual communion of sorts. Perhaps our definition is not that far off. Perhaps the final adjustment I would make is to require that the love and devotion felt is being expressed and not just recognized. Hence, an elaborate definition may be: "the conscious attempt to express and/or communicate a reverent love and devotion, accorded to someone (or something) that is considered deity, to that someone (or something)." This makes worship a rather personal affair that can take on many forms. This appeals to me, as I believe musicians, poets, seamstresses, and anyone else can worship God by offering their talents. On the other hand, an instance of someone merely remembering that he/she loves God does not constitute worship. I feel good about this definition, but it's always open for revisal. So let the comments begin.

I once was told sin in any form is apostacy. I somewhat agree with that-even if you love God while you sin, you are not worshipping him. Even if you still love your s/o, you are not actively "marrying" them-renewing that love-if you are cheating.

I think I actually have always seperated the two...worship vs. sin or actions. Worship is an adoration, a recognition of God or Christ and their awesomeness. It involves praising, singing, and contemplation of them. Therefore I worship at church or temple where there is a peaceful atmosphere for doing so. I believe it also is a communion within your heart, where you express your thankfulnes as well as your hopes and try to hear or feel a response. It's a lot like going to visit and having a very nice, intimate conversation.
The other part of living one's religion is just that...living it. This is where we strive to do good and improve each day. This is acitivity. We try to behave ourselves in much the same way we would if, when we were younger, we went to school or otherwise and wanted to be good, as our earthly parents would expect of us. Certainly we wouldn't want to displease them either. We respond in the same fashion to God. We are trying to do all the right things while we are away from Him. I don't see this as worshipping, in the classic sense. This is activity. Worship is quiet contemplation

I wrote a good post the other day but the dumb work computers lost it! I'll try to redo it because my insight I'm sure is so valuable!
I agree with Mama Bear and Benny that worship is more of an act and way of being. Singing the song and feeling uplifted or even spiritual doesn't necessarily count as worship. Worship should be more of a recognition of God and a communion with him. I do think there is something to be said about recognizing him in daily existence though as a sort of worship... perhaps reverence is a better word. When I acknowledge the sunset or cool air or the smell of flowers, I like to think that I'm remembering God and in that way giving him my devotion and worship.
I also wanted to comment on Katherina's post. While I agree that in the moment of sin we are not thinking of God, perhaps it is too harsh a judgement to call it apostasy. I think that maybe the kind of sin we all commit is more akin to transgression. We all have weaknesses and while we can always do better, maybe we should acknowledge that sometimes our best just isn't THE best. I think sin is more like the people who blatantly ignore God and don't want to recognize or acknowledge him in life. People who would rather not be bothered or choose to live a particular way with no desire to even know what God wants.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
La comunidad Latina, the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States, has long been told that assimilation is the only way to succeed in American society. This book challenges that generally accepted view and concludes instead that transformation as a way of life is the only viable option for the Latino community as a whole, regardless of racial, class, regional, or religious differences. It highlights how in the everyday life of la comunidad Latina the members of the community can recognize the underlying ways of life, the stories, and the patterns of relationships that cripple them, and how to break with these ways of life, stories, and relationships to create fundamentally more loving and compassionate alternatives.
Along with all men and women, Latinos and Latinas face four choices: retaining a blind loyalty to a romanticized past, assimilating, violating each other, or transforming their ethnic and racial group for the better. This examination of the underlying sacred meaning of the stories of the Latino culture attempts to determine whether these stories are destructive or creative. Now coming of age, la comunidad Latina, previously wounded by assimilation, continues to tell its story in art, literature, history, and religion so that the world may, perhaps for the first time, see its personal, political, historical, and sacred faces. The most important story now being lived is that of Latina women and Latino men who are making choices that will determine the ultimate meaning of a new Latino culture in this nation.
A guide to understanding the personal, political, historical, and sacred faces of the Latino community in the United States as they struggle to create a more just and compassionate culture in the service of transformation.

"He wants to fight for the title, but he's got to get through me first. Hopefully he's not overlooking me. He needs to be prepared. If he loses to me, it's going to take him awhile to get back in the running, getting people to once again believe that he's the man. Everybody wants to see Bobby fight and wants to see him tested. So the message is that I'm planning on testing him. The goal is to get there and hit him with a few things he hasn't been hit with yet. We'll see if he really does want to fight or not. I think the fans will jump over to my side once the tide turns. Once they see he's not invincible, I think they'll come over to the underdog's side. I know I'll have a few fans there, and hopefully after the fight, I'll have a few more."
Strikeforce heavyweight Chad Griggs plans on derailing the Bobby Lashley hype train when they collide at the upcoming "Houston" event on Aug. 21. "The Grave Digger" has won three straight fights with three (T)KO finishes and would do a lot to elevate his status by upsetting the "Dominator." Does Griggs have a shot at playing spoiler? Or is he just another regional fighter being "fed" to the former WWE superstar?

This is what it feels like to be Rashad Evans.
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight number one contender, Dan Henderson, who lost his spot in line after blowing out his knee, has been made aware of the promotion's decision to book Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen for The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17, which will serve as a lead-in to their April 27 title fight on pay-per-view (PPV).
And he's not impressed.
Henderson was expected to fight Jones at the UFC 151 event back in September; however, his untimely injury -- and "Bones" refusal to fight Sonnen on just eight days notice -- torpedoed the fight card and turned the division on its head, which could mean a change of plans for one of these two competitors.
That's a bitter pill to swallow, considering the champ keeps getting booked to fight middleweights.
The 42-year-old "Hendo" (tick-tock) is expected to face off against Lyoto Machida at a future date, but whether or not the winner is granted a title shot remains to be seen. At this rate, they may have to drop back down to 185 pounds to get it. Either way, the former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion is probably wondering what universe he's living in.
Sour grapes? Or justifiable frustration?

Wavy Gravy Celebrates his 75th Birthday with a Benefit Concert Full of Grateful Dead and Black Crowes
Wavy Gravy - activist, official clown for the Grateful Dead, inimitable local icon - is turning 75. So he's throwing a party stuffed with legendary musicians, local icons, and good karma.
Called the "perfect entertainer" by Lenny Bruce and "one of the better people on earth" by The Village Voice, his clown persona stemmed from his protesting days and the infallible logic that police are less likely to arrest someone in enormous floppy red shoes. If you're wondering about the name, he was dubbed Wavy Gravy in 1969 by B.B. King and has introduced himself that way ever since.
Featuring Bob Weir and Mickey Hart (The Grateful Dead), Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes), and Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna), Wavy Gravy's 75th birthday concert benefits Seva, an organization he co-founded with Ram Dass to help create sustainable solutions to poverty and disease. With an emphasis on blindness prevention and cure, Seva-supported programs have restored sight to more than three million people in Asia and Africa.

A man and a woman were killed in a single-vehicle crash on the Southwest Side late Saturday.
About 11:35 p.m., the two were in an SUV traveling north on California Avenue near West 37th Street when the driver lost control and hit a utility pole, police said. They were dead at the scene.
The man has been identified as Jorge Guerrero, 27, of the 3300 block of West 38th Street, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
The woman was identified as Nancy Ruiz-Torrijos, 24, of Mexico City, according to the medical examiner's office.
Autopsies Sunday found both died of multiple injuries from the crash and their deaths were ruled accidents.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash and it was not immediately known if alcohol or drugs were a factor, police said. The Major Accident Investigations Unit is investigating.

The first priority in each community in which Peru's Challenge works is to see that the school is transformed into a safe, happy learning environment supported fully by the government and community.
After this is accomplished, Peru's Challenge turns its focus to the community as a whole through Project for Life, to ensure that not only are the community's children looked after, but each member enjoys the opportunity to have their needs met and enhance their quality of life.
Project for Life background and objectives
Every day, the members of our communities push on through the devastating effects of the unrelenting lifestyle they lead. There is a family with four children in Pumamarca who are regularly thrown out of their home in the middle of the night by a father under the influence of alcohol. While so many of us know that we are safe and secure, these children never know whether they will have a safe place to sleep for the night.
In Quilla Huata lives family of six, of which the parents are both ill with a chronic disease, and thus cannot work. Unable to attain even a meager standard of nourishment, all four of their young girls are severely malnourished and are constantly ill. Another family of six living with their grandmother slept together in the bare frame of a double bed without mattress, blankets, or pillows.
There are countless women who have miscarried babies due to malnourishment, illness, over work, and overuse of their bodies. These stories are not rare; they are the norm, and they are the reasons Project for Life is so very important to the communities.
As everyone who has volunteered with us knows, the kids are vibrant and happy at the school, but the situation at home is difficult. Many of the children and adults suffer not only from malnutrition and illness, but from the effects of alcoholism, neglect, and lack of opportunity. Though the community members are working hard to generate income and opportunities through the Talleres mother's group (a skills workshop focused on training women in the community to produce arts and crafts for sale), attending school and so on, there is still a severe lack of funds necessary to achieve a desirable quality of life. Thus, the Project for Life Programme, launched in 2007, aims to supplement families in their endeavor to provide for themselves until they are able to become entirely self-sufficient.
The Project for Life Fund is in essence the community's fund. It is made up of three focus areas: Education and small business development, House Challenge, and, Health. All contributions from sponsors will be distributed evenly across the community (the percentage split will be dependent on which fund is most in need at the time.) This will allow us to buy whatever is most needed for any family in the scheme, without delay. Peru's Challenge assesses the needs of the community and helps community members and sponsors work together to improve the situation. The projects undertaken as part of Project for Life help the community combat long term problems such as malnutrition, chronic illness, and lack of opportunities. In true Peru's Challenge style, sustainability is the key and every community member is expected to learn and work alongside Peru's Challenge to make the desired changes.
Education and small business development*
The best way to promote sustainability within the communities is to help community members become educated and skilled. Thus, the first focus area of Project for Life is devoted to three primary areas. First, is intensive English classes and enrollment in trade or technical courses for teenagers and adults. Second, is supplementary provision of resources such as tuition and transportation costs for children in secondary education facilities. Finally, is our beloved Talleres workshops devoted to teaching micro-business skills to adults in the community. Talleres, or skills workshops, aim to train community members in raising guinea pigs, chicken, trout, dairy animals, and flowers. Other Talleres focus on producing art and crafts for sale, building a community bakery, and learning the valuable skills of carpentry, cooking and construction.
Peru's Challenge will create a community institute where community members can attend classes in English, trades, and other subject areas in the future. This will make the community more self-sustaining and would save large losses of money and time as community members will no longer have to travel to the city to reach these resources.
*This portion of the fund is of the utmost importance as through education and development of marketable life skills, community members will be presented with sustainable opportunities to maintain a high quality of life. Not only are these skills valuable for community members now, but they provide a means for families to continue in self-sufficiency long after Peru's Challenge has begun work in other communities.
House Challenge
Many homes in the community are missing the basics of life, such as glass in the windows, doors, proper walls, beds, blankets and pots and pans for the kitchen. Temperatures in the mountain communities of Peru can drop as low as -10 degrees Celcius. Without sufficient shelter and the basics, the situation becomes severe and Peru's Challenge relies on this fund to provide essential materials such as beds and blankets that families are missing. Malnourishment, smoke inhalation from cooking fires, and poor health resulting from unclean water are also constant strains on members of the communities in which Peru's Challenge works. Thus, this area of the fund also allows us to undertake large-scale community projects such as planting fruit trees for each family, building chimneys for proper ventilation of wood fire smoke, and installing the necessary fixtures for running water and electricity.
This area of the project fund is devoted to physical as well as mental and emotional health. Its aim is to treat problems arising from poor living condition and a lack of nutrition in the communities as well as to provide advocacy and support for dealing with social problems such as alcoholism and domestic violence among others. In 2008, four particularly brutal cases of physical and sexual violence against women and children have been attended to because of the funds made available through Project for Life. Medical campaigns such as general medicine, dental, optometry, anti-parasite, and women's health, emergency provision of food packages, and individual attention from the social worker are included in this fund. The importance of these regular campaigns is evident as in 2008, during a community-wide women's health campaign, 90% of the women who received consultation with the gynecologist had some form of infection and 40% percent of those were severe.
Currently, the health fund is helping to support our school kitchen which was started in November 2008 to ensure that every one of the 140 children has access to two balanced, nutritious meals a day. Project for Life has helped fund its set up, and will continue to supply foods not available within the community, and pay a small salary to the mothers that cook the meals each day. The kitchen is expected to be self-sustaining in one year's time and the fund's involvement in this project will be phased out over time. Peru's Challenge also looks forward to commencing a similar scheme for a community-wide kitchen to be supported initially by the health fund.
How we evaluate and work with those in need
The Peru's Challenge social worker communicates with every family in each community to determine what the needs are and conducts house visits with volunteers and Peru's Challenge staff four afternoons a week. During a visit, our volunteers carry out projects with the family (ie chimney building, tree planting) while our social worker assesses the progress of the family in the areas of health and hygiene, family dynamics, social issues, education, and overall quality of life. Frequently an idea or solution for one family may be extended to other families to ensure that the entire community is benefitting from the work of Peru's Challenge. An example of this is creating a network of bread ovens in the community as a small business initiative rather than only making this available to one family. During house visits, other volunteers will be overseeing the progress of our Talleres classes, ensuring participants are learning new skills and producing marketable products for sale. Your money will make it possible to give attention to issues discovered during house visits, provide resources for education or rehabilitation, and ensure the highest possible quality of life for community members.
Intensive work with families in the community
Working with several families simultaneously has meant goals have taken longer to reach. We will work with one specific family in each community on an ongoing basis (as long as necessary to achieve desired outcomes), until identified goals have been met and sufficient improvement made. This approach will ensure that families do not fail to achieve meaningful outcomes. Additionally, Peru's Challenge works to build each family's capacity for change by providing small homework assignments that help them adjust to and take responsibility for the changes taking place in their household.
A small group of young adults in the community will also be targeted for intensive English training during the time the social worker and volunteers are conducting house visits and Talleres sessions. These students will be expected to maintain a high standard of commitment and work ethic while they learn this valuable skill. These students will also be expected to pursue further education in a trade or technical training course upon completion of their English training.
How sponsors contribute to the success of the community
Although the work of Peru's Challenge would be impossible without the dedication of our hard-working volunteers, without the financial and relational backing of our sponsors, our communities would not have the opportunity to thrive and develop independently as they do.
Previously, sponsors were matched with a particular family towards which all of their funds went; this meant that only a small number of families were receiving assistance. Along with concern regarding what the sponsored families would do when Peru's Challenge left their community, this style of funding for Project for Life was causing growing jealousy and animosity between those families who were being sponsored and those who were not, even between siblings who were being sponsored directly and those who were not. Thus, in order to prevent inequalities in service provision, ensuring that we are helping the entire community, and guard from creating false hope for both families and sponsors, all sponsor funds will be distributed evenly across the communities. By donating towards the overall Project for Life fund you make it possible for community members to attain the resources and opportunities necessary to eradicate poverty and elevate their quality of life. By empowering community members to provide for themselves, you can ensure they will enjoy a higher quality of life long after Peru's Challenge has completed its work in the community.
We will discuss with you some of the current needs in the community and how your contribution can be used to meet those needs. You advise us how much you can contribute, and we will take care of the rest.
We are deeply grateful for your monetary support, but also want to stress the importance of relational and emotional support for your amigos in the community, so we encourage cards, letters, photos, and care packages (clothes, books, pencils etc.). We will send updates to our sponsors on a quarterly basis reporting on the status of your amigos and the community as a result of your support. We will also translate and deliver letters between sponsors and their amigos in the communities.
Below you will find the funding levels required for Project for Life. If you would like to see specific Project for Life projects broken down into more detailed budgets, please contact us.

*As Peru's Challenge meets with families and understands community needs more fully, we are able to determine how funds may be best allocated. It is important that community members demonstrate improvement as well as a reasonable capacity to use wisely and effectively the assistance they are offered. Thus, please note that Peru's Challenge reserves the right to use any funds allocated to Project for Life as they determine is necessary and most beneficial for the community.
Peru's Challenge is seeking funding in order to maintain current programs as well as funding to begin new programs listed below. We are ready to partner with you on these exciting projects through Project for Life. Please contact us to discuss how you can help Peru's Challenge build sustainable communities and strong, independent families for life.

The following comment comment is lifted from the Tony Clark diary:
Re: Seriously, why all the hatin' on Tony Clark?
He's thirty F*ing five years old...that's why all the hatin'. One more season of Sabean's LIES! about going with youth. One more season of patching a team together with people that will be out of baseball in '10. One more season of not finding someone under thirty to man one GODDAMN position on this team. Clark might help the Giants go 72-90 instead of 70-92. F*ing typical Sabean.
While, perhaps, overstating the position of the 'Fringe,' it still seems to typify the Fringe response to anything and everything Sabean does. This response is not only tired, but it is inaccurate and, George Bush-like, ignores all the inconvenient facts and trots out as truth the same tired assumptions and conclusions. So, some facts are in order:
1) The team has cut ties with at least 5 older players in less than a year: Feliz (33), Klesko (37), Benitez (34), Bonds (dirt), Atchison (32)
2) Less precise (because of 25 man vs 40 man issues), the team has added several young players within the last year: Frandsen (27), Rowand (30), Davis (27), Ort (27), Lewis (27), Schierholtz (24).
3) Neither Sabean nor Magowan have ever said the team was going to get "young." They have said they are going to get younger and healthier. On its face, looking at no's 1 & 2 above, that statement is happening. We have a young pitching staff, 2b (or is it 3b) in Frandsen, 1b in Ort, and backups in the OF who have a chance to play themselves into the lineup.
I don't think anyone can complain about our OF. We have two 27 year old starting IFs.
Is it fair to be disappointed in the lack of movenent/improvement at 1b and 3b? Of course. But, while Sabean gets routinely raked, the suggestions offered on here are comical in the breadth and depth of how unrealistic they are. Sure there are certain players some Fringites would like. But where is the indication that any of these players are actually available? And, more importantly, available at the prices you all are proposing? [ie, why in the hell would Cinci give us Encarnacion for Lowry? How is that a good trade for them? Where is there any indication that Cinci is looking to trade this lazy, stone handed, bad attitude?]
Anyway, there are definitely numerous improvements that have been made to the team, just in the past year. Once, of course, is assembling a very young and very good SP staff. Second is the development of several current RP staff pitchers and RPs in the system on the verge of being able to help. Three, is that the team has, while not on a straight, unvariable line, gotten younger and healthier - and amny other contracts are about to run out.

Dr. Don,
I cannot find a bank where I can buy Series I savings bonds. Where
are they?
-- Joyce Journey
The Treasury doesn't maintain a list of financial institutions that
sell (physical) paper, Series I U.S. savings bonds, but you can
set up an account with Treasury
Direct that uses your current banking relationship to buy these
savings bonds and hold them in electronic form in your Treasury
Direct account.
If you want to hold the bonds in physical form and
can't find a bank in your area that sells them, I suggest that you
contact the Federal Reserve bank that services savings bonds for
your area of the country and ask about buying the bonds. This Bureau
of the Public Debt's Web
page will provide you with that contact information.
Dr. Don,
What options are available to anyone who has lost their savings
-- Lost Lou
Here's what the Bureau of the Public Debt has to say about lost
savings bonds:
Bonds that are lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed can be replaced
free of charge as long as we (the Bureau of the Public Debt) can
establish that the bonds haven't been cashed. To assure that the
bonds can be traced, owners should keep records of bond serial
numbers, issue dates, registration and Social Security or taxpayer
identification numbers in a safe place separate from the bonds.
(The Savings
Bond Wizard is a great way to do this!)
To get your bond replaced, complete Form PDF
1048. On this form, provide the approximate issue date along
with the complete names, addresses, Social Security number that
appeared on the bond and the bond serial number. If you don't
know the serial number or denomination, just write "unknown"
in the space provided. If the bond owner is a minor, the form
should be signed by both parents and the minor's age and Social
Security number should be included. Mail the completed form to:
Bureau of the Public Debt, Parkersburg, WV 26106-7012. Replacement
bonds will still show the original issue date.
Lou's problem should serve as a reminder to keep a
notebook with a listing of your financial assets. That's tip No.
4 from last year's Dr. Don's top10
I have saving bonds that I wish to redeem. Is there an online financial
institute that will redeem savings bonds? We live in a rural area
and do our banking with a credit union that does not deal with savings
bonds. The few banks in our area want you to have an account with
them and will redeem only a few at a time.
-- Debbie Deposit
The limit on cashing in bonds stems from a government requirement
that you either have to have an account relationship with the financial
institution for the past six months or present documentary identification,
like your driver's license. If you use documentary identification
and don't have an account relationship, you're limited to redeeming
$1,000 worth of savings bonds at a time.
You can contact the Federal
Reserve bank that services your area and arrange to redeem the
bonds via mail. This option makes the most sense if you just want
to cash out all of your bonds.
Alternatively, you can open a Treasury Direct account and wait
for an invitation to convert your paper U.S. savings bonds to electronic
securities through Treasury Direct's Smart Exchange program. Converting
the securities would allow you to manage redemptions and have the
proceeds placed in your bank account. The FAQ page
that deals with the Smart Exchange program explains why you have
to wait to be invited to convert your bonds and other aspects of
that program. This option makes sense if you're not going to cash
out all of your savings bonds at one time, are not in a rush to
redeem the bonds, or might be buying additional savings bonds or
other U.S. government securities through Treasury Direct.
To ask a question of Dr. Don, go
to the "Ask the Experts"
page, and select one of these topics: "financing a home,"
"saving & investing" or "money."

The Web is a great source for free, publicly available information, but not for thousands of electronic books, journal articles, and scholarly resources that are available only to the campus community. Resources like Lexis-Nexis, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete, and ARTstor are "invisible" to Google. You will not see results from these databases in the results of a Google search.*
Through the Library website, you can access hundreds of different licensed databases containing journal articles, electronic books, maps, images, government and legal information, current and historical newspapers, digitized primary sources, and more.

Where's the PDF?
Many article databases contain information about articles (citations or abstracts), not the entire text of the article. Once you've used an article database to find articles on your topic, you may need to use this button: in order to locate and read the full text of the article. The UC-eLinks button appears in nearly all the databases available from the UCB Library website.
UC-eLinks will link you to the online full text of an article if UCB has paid for online access; otherwise, UC-eLinks will help you locate a print copy on the shelf in the library. If UCB doesn't own the article in print or online format, UC-eLinks can also help you order a copy from another library.

Liz Gillies may play a frenemy to Tori Vega on Victorious, but in real life she's just a good-natured gal who's got a serious love for performing!

Question: Is it dangerous to stop taking blood pressure medication?
"I have a friend that's been taking his high blood pressure medication for only a week or so and wand's to stop because his pressure is down considerably and he doesn't want it to be a life long medication that he has to take. What's the danger in him doing this?"
Answer: High blood pressure or hypertension is often called a silent killer. While most people do not feel significant symptoms from high blood pressure the condition can silently do significant damage to the heart, kidneys and your circulatory system. If a physician has prescribed blood pressure medication for your friend it is important that your friend not stop taking that medication unless advised by his doctor. His blood pressure may be down because of the medication and stopping it could cause it to rise again. Your friends blood pressure may also be down because of lifestyle changes he has made (weight loss, exercise or smoking cessation) but it is up to the doctor to determine if the therapy needs to be altered.
Untreated or poorly treated high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, erectile dysfunction and vision loss. The threat of those is the danger your friend faces if he chooses to stop his medications without doctor advice.

LAS VEGAS -- The fate of wild animals at the Las Vegas Zoo is still unknown as government agencies begin to get involved.
The sign stating the zoo is closed is still posted at the front gate. Although the sign indicates the zoo is being upgraded, that is news to two former caretakers who say the zoo is in danger of permanently closing.
The zoo's owner refused to answer questions and the future of the wild animals inside remains unclear. Sources tell the I-Team that federal agriculture department wildlife inspectors went inside the zoo Tuesday morning, acting on a recent complaint.
The City of Las Vegas confirms that it sent in a deputy marshal to assist the USDA in moving the wild animals, if needed. The I-Team has confirmed that three animal caregivers quit recently saying they conflicted with the zoo owner's management style.
Numerous families, hoping to spend the day at the zoo, showed up Tuesday to find the gates locked.
"It was a nice little zoo. It was not a problem getting in and out. That's why we came, to have a nice day with the baby, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen, does it?" Jacquie Semerdjian said.
Pictures obtained by the I-Team were taken by an undercover PETA activist. They show what they say are mice infestations inside the wild animal holding cages. The I-Team has left a message with zoo owner Pat Dingle to get comment on the photos. He has yet to call back.
On Monday, Dingle did say "all animals will be taken care of." He also said that "he'd go public next week" before hanging up the phone.
The animals at the zoo include a lion, a cheetah, a chimp, a crocodile and some apes. There are a few possibilities as to where the animals could end up. If the zoo's owner gives up his USDA exhibitors license that could pave the way for animal welfare activists to find sanctuaries for the animals. The animals could also end up on the wild animal auction circuit which local activists believe could put the animals in further danger.
Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

Diner Reviews
We were 5 in our party, most of
which had never been to Spin. Everyone loved the food (especially the fries!) and the service was fabulous. Our server was very timely and friendly. The location is perfect and the décor works for lunch. Although I am sure food is equally great in the evenings, I don't find the décor or table set up conducive for say a romantic dinner or group celebration."
Dined on 6/6/2014
Meeting up with old friends who
made an hour long trek in to the city for us. The "out of towner" was picking the spot. It was a great choice, superb food, nice compact yet varied menu and reasonable price point. If they beefed up the wine list it would be five stars! "
Dined on 6/5/2014
Excellent food. Friendly,
professional service. Perfect lunch spot for the business crowd. My only remotely negative comment is with respect to the coffee. I love good coffee and do not mind paying more for it. At $4/cup, I expected better java. All other aspects were super."
Dined on 6/4/2014
The dinner was great, we had great
food, great service, great experience. Will definitely be back and recommend to friends."
Dined on 5/15/2014
I recently booked the Spin Kitchen
and Bar for a professional lunch. The ambiance, service and food were perfect. Our lunch was served very quickly so there were no concerns about getting away to afternoon meetings on time. The staff was excellent - very professional and attentive without seeming as though they were interrupting our lunch discussion. I food was also very tasty. I would definitely recommend Spin as a great place for business lunches in the downtown core."
Dined on 5/9/2014
My colleagues and I had a great
time. The food and services were great"
Dined on 5/7/2014
I have eaten at Spin many times
before, and this was the first time that despite having a reservation they sat me in the bar. Rather than having a great meal in a cozy ambiance I was forced to endure groups of energetic hockey fans and whatnot. This was NOT their shining moment... and unfortunately the experience was repeated throughout the weekend."
Dined on 4/4/2014
I Call to increase our
reservastion and had no problem doing so. You where very very busy the evening we went so services was a bit slow, but understandable. and the manager was extreamly helpful."
Dined on 3/27/2014
I like Spin because you can
customize your salad and they are fairly quick at lunch time. BUT! This is the second time I have been there and both times I had to ask for bread AND ask for coffee. I would have thought that bread and butter on the table would be standard when people are having salad for lunch, and I am surprised that no one seems to ask if I would like something to drink. On the other hand, the salad was fresh and of a good size."
Dined on 2/24/2014
Cold food, under-staffed, poor
unattentive service and noisy "singles" clients operating their office with lap top and cell from the dining room at lunch hour. I cannot recommend and question returning."
Dined on 2/5/2014
I stay in the hotel often, and
have eaten at the breakfast buffet many times. Recently I started enjoying it for dinner, and I really love their food... whether for hamburgers or something fancier :)"
Dined on 2/2/2014
Menu is limited, but food was very
good. We were there on a cold, winter's day and the temperature was cool in the restaurant. We were very upset at the unexpectedly high cost of the wine. Two members of our party ordered a glass of Chardonnay wine each - one was a 5 ounce, the other an 8 ounce. We had not been offered wine menus. We were shocked at the price on the bills and then asked to see the wine list and were even more surprised to find that we had not been served the least expensive options. The server had arbitrarily chosen for us."
Dined on 1/23/2014
I would return but not because it
is so great, but because it offers a convenient location for a fairly good lunch. The ambience is good (better in the west section). The food is ok. Salad niçoise is very good but the last time there was a pit left in an olive... just hoping the tooth is ok. They charge for soft drink refills (rare these days in restaurants). The service is not great - we asked the waitress about an ingredient in one of the dishes. She didn't know and checked with the kitchen. She came back with a completely wrong description."
Dined on 1/22/2014
This was the first time I have had
lunch at "Spin". I have been there often for a drink and quick munchies after work with co-workers. The lunch was exceptionally good. The salmon was very moist, the pairing of fish with vegetables and fruit topping was well done. The portion was just right for a lunch - not too much and not too little! The service was excellent. This was a special occasion with a friend and I was very pleased with the service and the meal itself. Also appreciated that the tables are not so close that one is able to have a confidential conversation."
Dined on 1/9/2014
Spin Kitchen is a favourite spot
for lunch downtown and the tuna nicoise salad is a long-standing favourite. My most recent visit was a bit of a shambles though. Orders confused, then lost, food arrived at different times, tuna over-cooked. The servers are always really pleasant and this was no exception. Apologies were offered and sincere. Hopefully just a bad day. I'll be back."
Dined on 1/9/2014
Positive points: Lady welcoming
guest at the front desk was really nice and anticipating our needs. 5 stars for her. To be improved: Our server didn't seem to like his job and we didn't feel comfortable at all. My glass of white wine was not cold enough. Crab cakes didn't taste like crab at all. No flavor and over cooked. Seafood chowder didn't taste anything. Disappointing and expensive. There are other nice restaurants in Ottawa and Hull and we will probably choose to go somewhere else next time."
Dined on 11/28/2013
Enjoyed an extraordinary meal of
Halibut and home-cut fries! Service was impeccable, friendly, and personal!"
Dined on 10/30/2013
Our small group went here for a
working lunch. The tables are spaced far enough apart that you can actually talk to the members in your party and not have to shout. Spin has recently added a "Salad-Spinner" option to their menu. Everyone in our party ordered their own unique salad. We were all impressed with the presentation, taste and quantity. We will definitely go back!"
Dined on 7/26/2013
The company was good food not so
much. We were expecting the same as in Toronto where the restaurant spins. When we arrived the restaurant was empty got seated and taken care of not the biggest selection of food. We ordered the baby back ribs and the spin burger, the spin said smoked cheddar and I recieved it with provelone cheese which tasted awful the only good thing was the fries."
Dined on 7/19/2013
I had lunch at Spin with a friend.
We both ordered the Niçoise salad with poached egg (rather than hardboiled). I ordered the tuna rare - I was told they could do medium-rare. I was quite good. I would definitely go back for that salad."
Dined on 7/19/2013
Food was okay, as was the service.
We went for lunch on a Thursday and it was quite loud. I had the fish tacos and my mom had one of the artisan pizzas. Both were just okay but nothing to write home about. One food item and a coffee each and the bill was just under $60 with taxes and tip. Decent food but not worth that kind of cash."
Dined on 7/4/2013
I would recommend validating
parking - I could believe that this was a "NO". I will not return."
Dined on 5/19/2013
The staff were very courteous and
pleasent. The food was delicious. Lovely experience."
Dined on 5/8/2013
I have gone to Spin on many
occassions and am always pleased with the food quality and service. I was actually there on 2 separate occasions last week and was more than pleased both times. Will be back!"
Dined on 5/2/2013
Came with my extended family and
enjoyed a well-served leisurely dinner. Food was very good and well prepared. Had a very enjoyable Shiraz, although the wine list is brief. Felt it was good value for the money. Staff was friendly all through the hotel and restaurant."
Dined on 5/1/2013
Great spot for business meetings
at lunch. Service was awesome. Food was good and well priced."
Dined on 4/24/2013
Obviously very popular for lunch.
Quick and good with nice options. Very noisy so no place for a quet get togehter. Lots of group tables"
Dined on 2/28/2013
I had the brunch buffet with my
family on a Saturday morning. It was very good! A bit pricey compared to other restaurants, and the selection was a bit small, but the service was wonderful and the food they did have was very good. At one point, there were no eggs benedict left in the buffet. I mentioned it to the host, and - to my surprise - within minutes, the kitchen had made a fresh one for me while they prepared another batch for the buffet. Yummy! Our server, who was very attentive during the meal, also poured fresh coffees for us to take with us when we left. That's a first for me!"
Dined on 2/23/2013
The layout of the restaurant is
very unusual. There is a wide open space in front of the service window. I am not sure why they want to show the service window. The space would be better served with a wall blocking the window and tables put in the remaining area. The service was slow and did not feel like my business was appreciated. The food was good, but not the quality I would expect from a Marriott Hotel. The noise level was high. The price did not match the quality. Over-priced! I would return only if it was the only place open."
Dined on 2/16/2013
The service and food was quite
good, tucked away in downtown Ottawa, away from the Byward market. The staff were helpful and there were no major issues. If you are looking for free parking, you may have to drive around a bit to find a spot on Friday/Saturday night."
Dined on 2/15/2013
Service was exceptional. Nice
ambiance. Balance between tables, (not in isolation and not encroaching other tables). Would like to visit one evening other than lunch to spend more time. Food was very good, (tried cod sandwich). Kudos for a first visit."
Dined on 2/15/2013
Good, but not great breakfast
buffet - high points were the fresh fruit and cheeses, low points were the hot buffet food. The hot buffet was just a typical hotel type breakfast hot table with nothing special in terms of offerings or preparation. Convenient if you are at the hotel, even if it is a little pricey for what is offered."
Dined on 2/9/2013
if you would have this survey in
French it would be very helpful"
Dined on 2/8/2013
Group of friends and i go because
they have their 5@5$ bar special which is affordable when one is on a budget. We also really like their drink the "Bramble" really good..."
Dined on 1/30/2013
great food, great service! They
even got me the table I asked for! wow!"
Dined on 1/25/2013
The food was nothing to write home
about. Typical hotel restaurant food with nothing to take it a notch above ordinary. The best part of my meal was the roasted fennel! The worst part was the tasteless dessert called an apple tart, that tasted like bland apple sauce on a soggy puff pastry base. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was typical hotel restaurant full of business men on their computers and blackberries. I won't be back."
Dined on 1/15/2013
This restaurant is an excellent
place for a business lunch - good food, reasonable prices, excellent service by staff."
Dined on 1/15/2013
It was misleading, as the ads on
line said top of building rotating dinning lounge. Disappointing based on this. Was looking forward to a special ambiance with a view as a special event for my daughters and I on New Years Eve. This cannot have been the first time you have heard this as the hostess replied they needed to know who was giving miss information. However, the Marriott web page also is misleading as it shows pictures of the very restaurant I am talking about. I would have quite frankly chosen a different restaurant, with there being so many choices down town.Our waitress was excellent with a great personality."
Dined on 12/31/2012
Although the food was good the
service was very poor. We needed to ask for water 3 times before it was brought and we waited over 45 minutes for the food. 6 pieces of bread was brought to the table even though 7 people were seated and this was after a delay of over 30 minutes."
Dined on 12/31/2012
I made the reservation ten days in
advance but I was told two days before my reservation that only a buffet was going to be available. As this was the height of holiday lunches, and as someone who eats small portions, I would have appreciated being told that the buffet was the only option when I made the reservation. This being said there were some interesting offerings for a holiday lunch that were both tasty and at the right temperature. Service could have been better as no one checked on us after our drinks were served."

LGBT Community Outreach
Parkside is committed to extending God's radical hospitality and inclusive love to Sacramento's LGBT community. Being an "Open and Affirming" congregation means we welcome and accept all of God's children as our brothers and sisters in Christ. For many who have been judged and hurt by Christian churches, we are a place they can call home.
Sac Pride
Parkside participates in the Sac Pride Parade & Festival each June. Each year we have marched in the parade bearing witness to God's love for all. Our booth was visited by many who found a friendly group of church members ready to share the good news of Christ's love.
Rainbow Festival
Over Labor Day weekend, the Rainbow festival offers Parksiders another opportunity to extend our hospitality. Photo buttons were a hit this year at our booth, and so was a "cup of cold water" offered in Christ's name.

Olympic Themed Activities
Mathsticks at the Olympics - here's our Olympic Themed eBook collection
These feature material for PE, English, Science and (of course) Mathematics!
- a selection of ideas for English, including some innovative and fun phonics activities.
- a number of 'starter' ideas and suggestions for Science investigations based on forces.
- several PE/Games suggestions, together with a collection of six brand new games for Key Stage 1
Our maths suggestions stretches the boundaries of an eBook and you will find that we have included not one, but three separate eBooks in one here!
The first eBook contains:
- A set of lesson ideas and activity ideas;
- A set of thee "team problem solving" activities, and
- A series of six problem cards.
The second eBook, "Olympic Treasure Hunts" contains three separate treasure hunt activities. One involving multiplication tables and the other two focusing on (BODMAS) order of operations.
The activity involves solving a mathematical problem on one 'tent card', and then locating the answer on another. This answer leads to another question... which leads on to another problem.
Where's the Olympic theme?
It's in the self check system. To ensure children follow the cycle of question-answer-question correctly there is a series of words on each question card. If these words are collected in the correct order they form an Olympic themed quotation.
The eBooklet contains three 18-stage treasure hunts together with further information about the Olympic quotes.
The third eBook is "The Young Apprentice Olympic Travel Challenge". A complete 8-page maths project.
Based loosely on the Young Apprentice TV programme, this sets a specific challenge to a group of children: they must plan out a trip to London to see an Olympic event. They must then 'sell' their idea to the rest of the class... you can have great fun with this self-contained activity, and if they work hard enough, someone will get hired!
This eBook is an 8-page set of linked activities, filled with 'real life' maths problems and challenges. The pages can be used individually as separate 'lessons' or the whole booklet can be printed to create a team activity.
The full cost of this collection of eBooks (after PayPal charges) is being donated to Cancer Research UK. See here for more details.
If you are a mathstick+ member you can find this set of eBooks on your dashboard. We will still honor our charity pledge and donate £4 to Cancer Research for these downloads too.
If you want to download a free 4-activity sample of this eBook set, you can do so here:
We would all love to hear what you think of this in the comments and would appreciate your likes, tweets and Pluses!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Vanity is the theme behind the fourth issue of Dasha Zhukova's acclaimed Garage magazine. Perhaps not the most surprising subject for a fashion glossy, but the editor's approach to the concept is definitely original. Garage's cover and corresponding spread were shot by Patrick Demarchelier and feature a gaggle of models provocatively posed in looks by Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, McQueen, and Dolce & Gabbana. What's the twist? Each girl is accessorized with a Cindy Sherman mask created via ThatsMyFace.com. "Cindy Sherman's work raises such important and challenging questions about the representation of women, both in media and society. There was no better likeness to illustrate issues of identity and facelessness in the fashion industry," says Zhukova. The artist gave Garage her blessing to create the masks, all of which are based on Untitled #461 (the work was shown in Sherman's recent MoMA exhibition). However, it would seem Sherman hasn't yet seen the new issue, which, in addition to the fantastically creepy editorial, includes conversations between Urs Fischer and Neville Wakefield and Boris Mikhailov and Juergen Teller, as well as Aimee Mullins paper dolls and contributions from Theaster Gates, Michael Craig-Martin, and more. "I hope she likes it!" says Zhukova. We suppose we'll have to wait until the magazine hits newsstands, on February 9, to find out. Unless, of course, she sees the spread's exclusive debut here, on Style.com.

Wow... I'm glad I made the decision I did
Looking some of these newly announced phones (Titan II and Skyrocket HD, I'm looking at you, even though I'm sure more will come), all I can think is: I'm glad I decided to go with the Galaxy Nexus. iPhones aren't my thing, but I can certainly understand why somebody else would like them. The Galaxy Nexus is the closest thing you can get to an iPhone in terms of a one-model-per-year type of thing, and I'm glad that I won't have to worry about being outdated in the Nexus line until (hopefully) a year from now. I feel sorry for all of the people who continually get punched in the face by the carriers and manufacturers with these new phones. That would really annoy me, especially if I passed the return window.
