So we did not get the grant. Not terribly shocking, but still disappointing. Thanks everyone who offered words of encouragement and support. There are some amazing organizations that were awarded the money and some amazing organizations that are on the outside looking in. As I said last week, I had very mixed feelings about applying. Congrats to everyone who had successful applications and thank you to the Commission who had an incredibly difficult task.
Now, onto some really good Money News...
April Alumni Challenge!!!
What is this? So glad you asked. Joel's Place has been serving teens for 15 years. We have been here at 1890 Marika in the form of a Skate Park for a decade now. Do you know how many kids we have served over that time? Do you know the long-term impact that we have had on lives?
Neither do we.
One of the greatest things about Joel's Place is that is has never treated its kids like they are just part of a program. These teens are not statistics. They are not "The Mission." These youth are, and always have been, family. Loud, rambunctious, laughter-inducing, heart-breaking family. You know what you do with family? You love them and hold them close. You check in with them. You celebrate their successes and mourn their losses. You know what you do not do with family? Keep files on them. Enter them into databases. Lose track of them.
That brings us to the here and now. Joel's Place has gone through a heavy amount of turnover in the past 15 years. I only know a small fraction of the faces and the stories that have come through our doors over this last decade and a half. What I do know is that there are thousands of young adults whose lives have been impacted by this place and I want to find them for a number of reasons:
- Stories: Stories are what drive ministries. Statistics are nice. Pictures are fascinating. But a story can connect us with other people from other generations in other places more powerfully than any other medium. I would love to find more stories about Joel's Place and specifically how those experiences served to alter the trajectory of people's lives.
- Partnership: We are always in search of partnership. People who will give of their time, of their money, of their creativity and gifts in order to make Joel's Place a better place for kids. The best place to look for partnership is among people who have been blessed by Joel's Place.
- Long-term reporting: Many grants and proposals that I submit have the same question in some form. "Does your organization make the world better?" I truly believe that it does...but that tends to not be a sufficient answer. I would love to be able to point to young men and women in their teens, twenties and thirties who could testify to the benefits of Joel's Place.
- Mentoring: I list this one last because it is the most important and needs the most space. As an adult with some positional authority, my words carry some weight with the youth here. I tell them to stop and they do. I tell them the storms of life will pass and they kind of believe me. If I bring in a 25 year old skater who grew up at Joel's Place...walked the same hallways...got yelled at by the staff in the same way...faced the same challenges and struggles...and has come out the other side with a good job and a solid social life? Pure gold. We have 15 years worth of mentors out there. 15 years worth of young people who have struggled through the worst that life could throw at them and made it. 15 years worth of voices of experience and compassion who have walked in the same footsteps as our current generation of youth. To be able to bring those generations together would be like pouring hope and perseverance and passion directly into the hearts of our kids. As I said...pure gold.
This is an exciting proposition for me. I have been talking to the Board about connecting with alumni for a couple of years now. The money will help us get back on track after a rough first quarter, but the connections and relationships are the true prize here. How many mentors and partners are there who could help turn around the lives of these kids? I am eager to find out.
If you have been connected with Joel's Place over the years and want to participate in this April Alumni Challenge, check back here in a couple of days (when it is actually April) and I will have a link embedded so you can give towards our $10,000 goal or feel free to call Joel's Place, visit our website or just swing by the Youth Center at your convenience.
Finally, I am so grateful to all of you who have come before me that helped to create this amazing place. Blessings upon you all.

Meyer Color at harvest
Am I color blind? On another thread, Patty and John suggested of a ripe Meyer's to be yellow to dark yellow. I always wait for them to have an orange color.
I noticed in the stores Meyer's are mostly yellow.
If you leave them until the dark yellow/orange color, the fruit is technically overripe and will have less juice than if harvested earlier. For me the darker the color the better to eat, especially the skin; but when picked you will notice the fruit has a very thin skin and will only last a few days after harvest. Not a problem if you are going to consume them when you pick them. The darker skin color in part depends on how cool your nights are and also on the difference between day and night temps... the greater the difference and the cooler the nights the faster the lemon will color and the darker will be the final color.
Actually the color is there from the time the fruit reaches 8.5 brix; you don't see it as the chlorophyll hides the yellow. As the fruit matures further and nights get cooler, the combination degrades the chlorophyll and exposes the underlying yellow. Somewhat technical and unimportant to hobby growers; but it might pop up on a trivia quiz someday and you will know the answer.
Randy, for me, my Meyers store extremely well. They can last weeks in my house, compared to my unknown lemon (probably a Sorrento or some Italian lemon of some sort), which decidedly do not store well, and will rot. Waiting until they're over ripe - and for me here in Calif., where I probably have more temp separations than does John in Guatemala, they will turn an orangish yellow if over-ripe, and they do develop that piney flavor. Some folks call it an "off-flavor". I just let my over ripe Meyers sit in the house for about a week, and that off-flavor goes away, and they actually get a bit sweeter. And, if you've ever seen oranges in Jamaica or Hawaii, they're pretty much green due to very little temperature divergence. Perfectly ripe, just green :-)

Anyone growing Sadie Ray or Little Lamb?
I just ordered three hydrangea from the Bluestone sale: an oakleaf, macrophylla Sadie Ray, and paniculata Little Lamb. I've seen pics of oakleaves on the forums (and read raves), but I don't recall any mention of the other two. I'm wondering what I should do for them and I can expect from them.
Unfortunately, the GardenWeb search function is pretty useless these days.
I have a small Sadie Ray. It made it through the winter, thankfully. It is planted on the north side of the house and gets some morning sun and then a little afternoon as well. I planted a second (from Bluestone) one of the east side that will get much more sun. Not sure how it will do there, I'll move it next year if it's unhappy in August. I have a pretty large Little Lamb from a garden center. It came with almost no roots so took quite awhile to settle in, but it lost almost nothing over the winter. That is planted on the north side also, but gets more sun than the Sadie Ray location.
I have had a Sadie Ray for about 3, maybe 4 years. It has outperformed just about everything else that I have, including Endless Summer. It always blooms and has beautiful green leaves. It is a very good grower as well. I could divide it and easily get 5 plants, which I will do probably this year. You will love this one.
I've got Little Lamb and love it. The link below shows how it looked the first year I planted it. And if you go farther in the album, you'll see how it matures and becomes a delightful show. I keep it small by pruning. I think this is year 3 and it's leaping. Wants to grow and grow. I adore the white blooms drooping to the ground so that it really does look like little lambs resting in my garden, but that's really not its habit. It's grown quite a bit wider since I've planted so that this year that singe plant is at least 5 feet, if not 6 feet wide. I think you'll like this one.
Here is a link that might be useful: Little Lamb

Duty Free Goods, Gibraltar
23 Reviews
23 Reviews
One of the larger shops along the Main Street of Gibraltar, I found VIJAY to be a very modern and trendy shop, with very helpful staff without being too pushy. I hate it when you go into shops and the sales assistant is breathing down your neck. They have got a fantastic range of sunglasses of all brands at fantastic discount prices. Just imagine, I picked up a pair of Ray Ban aviator sunglasses at £69!! They also have a range of mid-price watches, brands such as Seiko, Fossil, etc. They also have an online store www.vijay.gi and they ship worldwide (I think).
What to buy: Gibraltar is well-known for its duty-free prices in alcohol and tobacco. Unfortunately, I don't smoke so I couldn't take advantage of that. There is also a great selection of jewellery shops and I managed to buy my fiancee's engagement ring at a fantastic deal. Look out for the shop called Glamour, again great service and good prices.
I recently came back from a cruise where we stopped in Gibraltar, it was our 4th time there so we knew where to get good deals. If you are looking to buy sunglasses go to a few shops before buying, some are cheaper than others, I would recommend a shop called S&S but there are many others with good deals too. Various things are cheaper such as, makeup, fragrance, and jewellery, however be sure to price things up before you go to Gibraltar as not everything is that good a deal. Pandora can be cheaper, but it can also be more expensive, I would recommend bringing a Pandora booklet with you (they have prices in) so you can compare prices.
Some people have mentioned that electronics are not a good buy, but, when it comes to cameras I strongly disagree. For anyone looking to buy electronics I can suggest a shop called 'Galaxy' it's on the main street and has some very good deals, for example, the new Nikon D3200 is priced at a low £395 compared to the UK price of £529.
What to buy: (some will be cheaper others not)
What to pay: Depends on what you buy, prices seem to have dropped recently
Gibraltar, being a duty free city, offers substantial savings on many things. We were told that buying a computer or electronics in Gibraltar was much cheaper than in Spain. One has to wonder though, because when leaving Gibraltar you didn't see people hauling boxes of stuff.
Spaniards go shopping in Gibraltar to take advantage of cheaper prices on many things-cigarettes, booze, staples as basic as sugar.
It seems that Spaniards are checked closely when leaving Gibraltar. I, as a foreigner, was only asked what I had and waved through.
If you want to pay more, you can shop there. You will pay at least 40% more than the most expensive shop in the UK! Gibraltar is tax free but don't expect to save anything on electronics.
What to buy: The only savings you can make in Gibraltar are on alcohol and tobacco.
What to pay: A lot more than the UK
Before visiting I had read in several websites and forums that Gibraltar is heaven for shopping due to taxes. Honestly, I didn't find it that great, probably because I visited in high season and the prices I checked don't change much from country to country: I was interested on the iPad and prices were similar to the ones I had recently seen in London (it wasn't available yet in Portugal in July 2010, when we visited Gibraltar).
Main Street is lined with shops selling mainly: perfumes (a bit cheaper than Portugal), sun-glasses, spirits, tobacco and electronics. The tobacco is in fact cheaper, but as we were travelling on a cruise, we found the ship's tobacco shop even cheaper. I bought myself Ray-Ban sunglasses, about the same price as they cost in Portugal just because I found one pair that I liked a lot. Notice that prices are in Sterling Pound and you should take into consideration the exchange rate, which back in July 2010 wasn't that good for the Euro.
What to buy:
The price of the airport's Duty Free shop alcohol and tobacco, including cigarettes, cost about 1/3 cheaper than down-town Gibraltar on Main street.
What to pay: 1ltr spirits about £5.00 - rolling tobacco between £6 to £9 for 5 packs of tobacco. All dependant on brand, but SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than in town. Check it out when you arrive, you can buy your entitlement on the way out to save carrying it about.
There are plenty of liquor stores in Gibraltar's due to the VAT-free and duty free status the territory enjoys. There is a great selection of good quality wines as well as perfume, jewellery, electrical goods and cigars. Crystal and porcelain also are very well priced.
Gibraltar is considered a free port so there is plenty of duty free shopping. I haven't checked this but Spirits and Tobacco are supposed to be the cheapest here than anywhere else. British pounds can be used without any problem although Gibraltar has its own pound which is not in return, recognised in the UK. A lot of the stores will also accept Euros, even some will take US dollars but the exchange rate may not be the best.
Gibraltar is filled with duty free shops. So if you are looking for gifts or souveniers, this is a good place to do your shopping.
What to buy: Kaloz enjoys his cigars, and was pleased to find this tobacco shop (established 1492) to find a few smokes.
I was trying to buy 2 cameras fortunately I had priced things at home first. I could buy far cheaper at Dixons, Jessops, Argos you name it anywhere but Main St. I'm a good haggler, well quite good, and I couldn't get anyone to come down to anywhere near the price I could buy at home.
Make sure you know your prices ! Check the hotel internet if you haven't got that item priced up !
They rely on suckers - don't be one.
I've been to Gib a number of times and this aspect of it has changed for the worse.
What to buy: NOTHING
What to pay: Spend your money at home
The shop is right at the left side as you enter the Casemates Square. It is close to its own factory and produces varoius unique designs of handmade glasswares and crystals. You can see glass being made, blown by famous blowers in town. Take home with you a piece of Gibraltar Crystal. Don't miss the display centre. You'll also find a wide display of glass on offer to cater for everyone's taste and budget.
What to buy: Gibraltar crystals as trendy jewelries,
Just wanted to remind folks about duty free goods if you are flying directly from the UK to Gibraltar.
What to buy: Its important that visitors from the UK are aware that Gibraltar is not classified as part of the EU and therefore, international allowances apply for trips directly to/from Gibraltar, e.g. 200 ciggies, 2 bottles wine, 1 bottle spirits, etc. This applies when returning from Gibraltar directly to the UK.
Now this was only my firs-time abroad on my own [second time abroad]
Heathrow customs give me a very hard time they were going to keep my cine camera.
Had me sign forms etc but in the end I kept the camera.
He just kept on asking if someone give me the camera to bring into the country, where I bought it? Did I buy it in Dixon's?
I also had a bit of luck my duty free 1LT bottle of Teachers whisky dropped through the bag and bounced off the floor in the terminal up into the air where I caught it. Well done Teachers for making a bottle with a good thick bottom.
What to pay: Remember customs will be awaiting your arrival home and tax may be payable.
Gibraltar is a British Colony. As such it qualifies for tax-free status, which means any shopping there is duty-free. Therefore ectronic type goods can be significantly cheaper than elsewhere in Europe.
As usual though, buyer beware. Check your local prices first, and make sure you are buying the same item with the same extras coming with it!
What to buy: Electrical Goods such as cameras, mp3 players, memory cards et al are all worth investigating!
Besides being cigarettes which are a lot cheaper here (about £9 per 200 carton as opposed to about £45 a 200 carton in the UK), as are spirits, there are also lots of electrical shops, camera/photographic shops, perfume shops and also shops selling crystal and porcelain. All are duty free and as there are quite a few of these shops they must be doing well or else there wouldnt be as many.
There is also a Marks and Spencer a Safewy store which is down near the harbour.
As we were there in late November all the fairy lights were on ready for Christmas.
Not all shops are open on a Sunday.

The differences between Popes Benedict and Francis are quite substantive, and their superficial trappings also indicate this. Recently, side-by-side comparisons of the two papal styles have become popular across the internet.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - An image from the Vatican via the AFP, which is posted here, highlights some of the superficial differences between the two popes. The external trappings of their dress resonates with their personal demeanor and attitudes towards the Holy Office.
Pope Emeritus Benedict has always been a regal personality who has enjoyed the trappings of the Vatican and his office as pope. Benedict was always resplendent in his papal regalia including the ruby red shoes, gold cross, and gilded throne.
By contrast, Pope Francis has a reputation for great humility. He previously eschewed a cardinal's palace in his home of Buenos Aries, rode the bus, and frequented the poor in slums.
Francis however, didn't have much choice in some of his regalia, being compelled to dress up a bit for his new role as the Vicar of Christ. Still, his personality shows through.
Where Benedict wore a gold cross, Francis wears an iron one. Benedict had his "ruby slippers" Francis wears plain black shoes. Even their rings are different with Benedict's made of gold and Francis plated silver.
Also notably, the crooiser, or staff carried by each pope reflects their style, Benedict's embellished with stones and Francis plain. The Papal throne occupied by Benedict was gilt in gold; Francis sits in a plain wooden chair.
Francis has also passed on the papal apartment in favor of residence in a smaller guesthouse.
Benedict adopted a new coat of arms for his papacy which reflected the stature of his office, Francis retained his old with minimal modification.
None of this should be construed to suggest that either Benedict of Francis is the superior pope; it merely shows how different the two men, both servants of God, are.

Late rally helps Miesha Tate past Liz Carmouche in UFC on FOX co-main event
APR 19, 2014 9:35p ET
It wasn't long ago when Liz Carmouche and Miesha Tate were threatening to win the UFC women's bantamweight title. At Saturday night's UFC on FOX event however, both fighters could not be concerned with reaching the sport's heights. Instead, they were in simple need of a win.
They fought like it.
The top 10's fought fiercely for 15 minutes, but Tate's late rush was too much for Carmouche, as she took a unanimous decision in the night's co-main event by a trio of 29-28 scores.
The action at Orlando's Amway Center was heavy on grappling, with Carmouche managing six takedowns in the opening two rounds. After a bit of a lethargic start, Tate started coming on around midway through the second.
For the second frame, she out-landed Carmouche in significant strikes 11-4, according to FightMetric. But her third was easily the most dominant round of the fight. She finally scored a takedown of her own and spent the entire round putting Carmouche in various trouble. She scored with several ground strikes after flattening her out, and came close to finishing with a rear naked choke. Carmouche bravely fought it off but still fell on points.
Tate, still ranked No. 3 in the latest poll, scored her first UFC win, moving to 14-5. She'd lost in her first two tries, to Cat Zingano and Ronda Rousey, respectively.
Carmouche dropped to 9-5.

Of course, it wasn't long before the trailblazers moved on, forging a unique country/blues answer to punk's standard surf/twang. In the wake of Nirvana, Social Distortion even had a small taste of major-label success, with their '92 Epic release, Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell. In 1999, Ness cranked out two solo albums -- one of C&W covers and one of bluesy originals -- and toured with a band of blues veterans. The following year, longtime Social Distortion guitarist Daniel Danell died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. For Ness, a new Social Distortion album (still in the works) preceded by a national tour was the best way to honor the memory of his high-school friend, with whom he'd sit by the railroad tracks, drinking beer and dreaming about one day starting a band.

When Rene Brunet Jr. was a kid, his father owned the Imperial Theater, a single-screen movie house in Mid-City. At the time, movie theaters were neighborhood institutions and played to the vaudeville expectations of the audience. But from the time he was a child, Rene saw the film industry undergo one transformation after another, which put his family's business under constant pressure to change or get out of the way.
This week on Inside the Arts, the NOLA Project presents the regional premiere of Christian Durso's Shiner. The play is a coming of age story focusing on teenagers, grunge rock and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain.
Then, tap and jazz collide as the Gulf Coast Theater on Tap presents Neutral Ground. It is a unique celebration of New Orleans rhythm and tap.
And we round out with an exploration of an archive in the French Quarter that houses years of New Orleans' cultural heritage.

The entertainment industry is synonymous with Hollywood. But in recent years lots of film and TV production has migrated to what's now become commonly known as "Hollywood South." Louisiana and Georgia form the core of this new industry hub because both states offer tax incentives to film and TV productions.

Bronies — members of an unexpectedly vibrant culture celebrating the animated series "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" — will tell you that New Orleans got 20 percent cooler this weekend thanks to DerpyCon South.
Why 20 percent? Because that's how Rainbow Dash, a character in the Hasbro toy company's animated series, would describe it. The show has spawned an Internet phenomenon.
When New Orleans was awarded its NFL franchise in 1966, the first person to own the team was John Mecom Jr. – a 26-year-old Houstonian whose father made a fortune in the oil industry. An avid sports fan, John helped shape the team's identity: he picked out their colors and logos, and even helped move them to the Superdome.
Jeanie Riess, feature writer for the Gambit, tells us all about the world of Bronies, a subgroup of fans, largely male, who will be celebrating the cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic this weekend at the Hampton Inn and Suites New Orleans Convention Center.
This week on Inside the Arts, we "Twist and Shout" as WYES-TV presents a Beatles Tribute featuring a live concert with the Fab Four Band in City Park. The tribute band performs 50 years to the day of the original Beatles concert in New Orleans in 1964.

Oh the chubbiness, oh the drooling, oh the giggles, oh the cuteness that is my niece Olivia! Be still my heart. Seriously though, she's such a delightful munchkin!
This month has flown by. It's 2015 and we are already one month down.
Work has been crazy. Albeit, work is always crazy. I'm learning a lot about myself and how I handle stress and expectations. Suffice to say that I need to do some introspection and center myself on God's Word and on prayer. Easier said than done though.
I celebrated my 30th birthday yesterday. And what a memorable one! My best friend Tracy flew in from San Francisco over the weekend to surprise me with a quick (24 hours quick!) visit. My brother came in from Maryland and surprised me for brunch at Isola. Trace and I moseyed on to Dough where we stuffed our faces with the most delectable, fluffiest, amazeballs donuts ever and then wandered around the MoMA. Side note: I don't get modern art. Moving on...#snowpocalypse2015 came and went (womp womp) and on my actual birthday my sweet husband cooked a traditional Korean birthday meal, baked chocolate cake, decorated with apartment with balloons and pictures, and gifted me with a fun new camera. I am genuinely grateful for the wonderful people in my life who have sent me warm wishes from near and far and for the few that literally went out of their way to make me feel unbelievably blessed and loved.
It has been a while since I shot a legitimate set of photos on my DSLR so please forgive me for these iphone snaps that follow.
Olivia {100 Days}
Today we celebrated Olivia's 100 days of existence or baek-il. Back in the day the infant mortality rate was high {still is...} so a baby marking 100 days of life was a big deal. It was a small family affair complete with yummy homemade food from both grandmas and a nude photoshoot for baby {obviously}.
P.S. I'm going to try to make my next post about someone other than my niece. No promises though.
Olivia {a short visit}
My husband and I don't have any kids {yet} but we loooooove all of the babies in our lives. One special baby is obviously my one and only niece Oli {pronounced OH-lee, not ahl-lee like the skateboard move}. This past week we maximized my vacation time by spending a couple of days with my sister's family. It was particularly meaningful because my sister goes back to work tomorrow after her three-month maternity leave. I'm sure that with that comes a slew of worries both about work and home life. Of course we will be praying for her and her family as they make the transition but I thought I'd post some sweet photos of her and Oli to encourage her. As an aside, wouldn't it be awesome if we could all live in Sweden?
Fall is my favorite season of the year. It's also make-enough-kimchi-to-hold-you-over-through-the-winter season. By default {my sister has a new babe and my brother is dangerous in the kitchen} I am the one that gets to help my mom make mounds of kimchi {two boxes of napa cabbage and one box of radishes worth} to store in her ginormous kimchi fridge. I think it's funny that Koreans have kimchi fridges. I laugh now but I will probably covet one in the next five years. Anyway, my responsibilities start with scouring the weekly sales at three major Korean markets in Flushing and include all of the washing, salting, chopping, mixing, and stuffing that comes with kimchi making. I have no idea how much of what goes into what and what needs to be added to make kimchi more/less salty/spicy/sweet. Is kimchi making a dying craft? Should I be more involved and learning all of this? A part of me still believes that I'm somehow going to gain my mom's cooking skills through osmosis or something. Yep. Osmosis.

We stayed there as a company for work we were doing in the area. When I called to book the reservations the guy was extremely rude and did not want to help me. Then after the stay I called to get copies of the receipt and the girl told me call back in a couple hours so you can ask the manager and hung up without me even saying another word. Our company spends a lot of money on room reservations all over the place and we will NEVER be staying here again!!

Sugar, spices, pulses, cooking oil and can of kerosene, apart from jewellery and cash, were stolen
Sugar, spices, pulses, cooking oil and a 25-litre can of kerosene, apart from gold jewellery and cash, were stolen from a residence in Rajamangalam on Thursday.
The residents had hidden the jewellery in containers used for storing pulses, which the burglars managed to find.
Sources with the Rajamangalam police said the burglary took place at a second-floor residence on the thickly populated Thiru-vi-ka Street in Then Palani Nagar. The residents, couple Karunakaran, a businessman, and Gayathri, had left for Kovilambakkam on Thursday morning after locking the house. Their son had gone to school.
"Around 4 p.m., a woman resident of the building had gone to dry clothes on the terrace of the three-storey building and noticed that the main door of Karunakaran's house was ajar. She informed other tenants of the building and one of them called Karunakaran on his mobile phone," said an investigating officer attached to the Rajamangalam police station.
The couple rushed back to find the house ransacked.
Gayathri had hidden 43 sovereigns of gold jewellery and Rs. 76,000 in jars containing chips, spices and coffee, in the kitchen. The burglars, who gained entry after breaking open the front gate and door, broke open the almirah but could not find any valuables, the police said.
"They then entered the kitchen and spotted a jar with currency notes. Realising that the family members had hidden valuables in the kitchen, the culprits searched all the utensils and jars and pocketed 35 sovereigns of gold. They also bundled up two litres of cooking oil, 25 litres of kerosene, spices, sugar, pulses and other items from the kitchen and fled," the officer said.
The culprits left rice stored in the kitchen untouched, and eight sovereigns of jewellery buried deep inside a can went unnoticed, the police said.
Karunakaran alerted the police and a team from the Rajamangalam police station reached the house and carried out a preliminary investigation. A case of burglary has been registered.

The Voice of Mini Cassia (blog):
Burley native T.J. Harris left Burley after high school to become a mortician. As such, he worked in a number of Idaho towns before he realized he wanted to be working among the living.
His transition has been one that not only works for him, but provides a service to many young men who are preparing to serve LDS missions.
Harris recently became manager of Peterson's Men's Clothing Store, on Addison Avenue in Twin Falls. The store, which caters to men only at the current time, is especially capable of providing all the clothing needed by LDS missionaries, no matter where they are called to serve – right down to special socks that pull moisture away from feet that will likely end up walking or biking hundreds of miles.
"With their mission call, a missionary gets a list of all the clothing needs he will have for the area he is called to serve in,†Harris explained.

A brand new website has been launched by the Gillard Labor Government today that would aid a lot of young Australians to stay safe and protected from being bullied online.
The website called 'Easy Guide To Socialising Online' was created to assist educators, parents and their kids alike to fight against the acts of cyber bullying and protect them from having access with any inappropriate online content.
The government's allotted budget that reached an amount of $125.8 million for the realization of the website is part of the overall Cybersafety Plan developed. Its idea was taken from the recommendation of the Youth Advisory Group on Cybersafety.
The new website provides cybersafety information for 26 social networking sites, search engines and online games, and gives step by step instructions on how to report cyberbullying, abuse and inappropriate content on these sites.
It also provides clear information for parents, educators and young people on how to adjust safety and privacy settings on websites as well as tips on how to stay safe when using any social media site.
Why Cyberbullying Should Not Be Disregarded
Cyberbullying is a serious matter which is why the Government has listened to young people and produced the new guide to staying safe online.
The Government's Cybersafety Plan involves a number of important initiatives including the Easy Guide to combat online risks to children. The Cybersmart website www.cybersmart.gov.au launched two years ago, has received well over a million visits and provides access to KidsHelpline for confidential online counselling.
Since its launch 12 months ago, the Help Button has been downloaded on more than 300,000 computers across Australia.
The Cybersafety Help Button can be downloaded at www.dbcde.gov.au/helpbutton.
The new Easy Guide website address is www.dbcde.gov.au/easyguide and it can also be accessed via the Cybersafety Help Button.
For further tips on cybersecurity and safety are available at www.staysmartonline.gov.au

Las Vegas Mediation provides trained neutral mediators and arbitrators to work with clients who want to resolve problems.
Joanna Wares, CM When communication stops or becomes adversarial your business suffers. Addressing disputes between business partners and senior executives through mediation offers a way to keep your business on track.
Joanna is appointed as a mediator for Nevada Foreclosure Mediation Program, Clark County Courts Neighborhood Justice Center, State Bar of Nevada Fee Dispute, Clark County Small Claims Court, National Center for Dispute Settlement and Insurance Expert Network.
Dr. Barbara Timmons Strahl is an experienced Mediator, Facilitator, Conflict Coach and Educator. Barbara has a doctorate in Conflict Analysis and Resolution. She has worked in conflict resolution and transformation for more than 25 years. Recently retired from Clark County Courts Neighborhood Justice Center (NJC), she is teaching in the University of North Carolina's graduate Peace and Conflict Studies program, mediating for federal agencies, and contracting meditations and facilitation.
At the NJC, Barbara trained and mentored all of the County mediators for almost 16 years. Many local attorneys and conflict resolution professionals also participated in barbara's mediation and continuing education training. Her training has received certification from entities such as the Nevada Bar Association, the Social Workers Association, and the Nevada Department of Education.
Barbara has been described as a pracademician who utilizes the latest in research and theory in application to conflict resolution. Her practice has included disputes ranging from business to criminal and divorce to neighbor. She regularly mediates discrimination and multiparty cases.
Raymond W. Patterson, Esq., was the Associate Director of the Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution at the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV until his retirement in 2013. He was also the founder and original director of the Strasser Mediation Clinic there, where he trained law students to mediate and supervised their mediation of cases referred by Clark County's Family Court.
Ray believes that a divorce shouldn't cost more than a wedding, and that people who were able to marry, have children, and take care of their finances by themselves are also able to negotiate their own divorces, and anything else that may arise as they dissolve the marriage contract and start life again as single people.
He has worked as a facilitative mediator for almost twenty years, meaning he does not direct people on what to do, but rather assists them in finding creative means of resolving seemingly intractable disagreements. Ray's chief concern is that each participant in mediation feels listened to and leaves with an agreement they can live with.
Gayle Nathan, Esq. Having served as a District Court Judge in the Family Division of Clark County, Nevada, Gayle Nathan is uniquely qualified to understand the benefits that alternative dispute resolution methods provide in resolving disputes.
The cost of litigation is not just financial. There is an emotional price that is paid when people who lived together and raised children bring their disputes into Court. Parents often overlook the burden their court battle puts on their children, on the grandparents, and adult siblings.
Court is not just a concept, it is an adversarial process. Litigants do not fully comprehend they are engaged in a war when they file a court action until they arrive in Court and have their first experience in front of a judge. When lawyers are involved in the process the stakes are even higher, as there are attorney fee requests and a strong desire to "win" for the client. Sadly, no one wins in Family Court, no matter who is the prevailing party.
Ms. Nathan met families where children threatened suicide; cut their wrists; ran away; and acted out in school while their parents did battle in Court. She is committed to promoting mediation to resolve divorce and custody disputes to allow litigants to quickly and successfully resolve their differences while maintaining control over the final result.
Prior to her election to the District Court, Family Division in 2010, Ms. Nathan practiced law for 22 years. She had a busy employment law practice, litigating Title VII cases in the U.S. Federal Court where she participated in the Early Neutral Evaluation program where most of her cases settled. She has substantial civil experience in contracts and personal injury. Having been an employer with her own firm for 15 years, she understands business law and the banking and tax implications for small businesses.
Ms. Nathan's appellate practice provides another dimension to her mediation practice. Having argued numerous cases before the Nevada Supreme Court, en banc, and before three judge panels and before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals she can assess the likelihood of success on appeal in cases that are headed in that direction.
Where parties have managed to resolve almost all of their issues, but are unable to resolve a few key points, Ms. Nathan can offer her services as a private judge. She has written an article, "Alternate Trials in Nevada" that details the benefit of this option.
Gayle Nathan is looking forward to working in the alternative dispute resolution arena and offering her services as a private judge to empower people to resolve their disputes without engaging in a court battle.
Andrew V. Hall, Esq., is an experienced mediator with an extensive background in various types of conflict resolution. He was trained and certified in the Strasser Mediation Clinic, where he mediated divorces and conflicts arising from other civil matters. Upon graduation from the Clinic, Andrew served as an assistant professor and mentor to incoming Clinic students. He also participated in mediations involving multi-million dollar civil disputes during his time in private practice.
Andrew works to help mediation participants develop solutions that may not be readily apparent on the surface of a dispute. He believes that, much like in a negotiation, many of the best solutions are found by "expanding the pie" of possibilities to avoid viewing conflicts as a zero-sum game.
Matthew S. Fox, Esq., is a trained and certified mediator who has mediated a wide variety of familial disputes and has successfully helped resolve divorce actions referred by the Clark County Family Court.
Matt, a facilitative mediator, focuses on creating a mediating atmosphere that is more conducive of conflict resolution by asking participants not just what they want, but what they need and why they need it. Often, an explanation proves invaluable, and barriers to resolution fall. Accordingly, through more effective communication over the course of the mediation, Matt believes that participants are able to discuss the terms of an agreement more comfortably, which will ultimately lead to a resolution that each participant will be able to live with.
