SANTA ANA – Developer Michael Harrah said that he plans to break ground on the One Broadway Plaza office tower by next summer.
Harrah made the announcement as he and several other business and community leaders were thanked at Monday's Santa Ana City Council meeting by outgoing Councilwoman Claudia Alvarez for their contributions to the city.
Harrah, who has purchased and renovated a number of landmark properties in the downtown area, told the audience that his 17 years working in the city have been "glorious."
"I started out with the dream of building the tallest building in the history of Orange County," he said, "and that dream will probably come true here in the second quarter of 2013."
In an interview, Harrah said that in the past year he and his partners have been able to obtain financing "out of New York" for the $292 million construction project. He said that he expected financing to be finalized by April or May, with groundbreaking expected next June or July. The 37-story building would have 612,000 square feet.
Around the start of the year, he had anticipated costs of $300 million, but said that the economy has resulted in lower labor and materials costs.
"We also have three major tenants in tow that will fill the whole building," he said. "We have all the permits. We have the plans. We have the approvals. We have the tenants. And we have the money. We could literally start working today."
City officials said that construction could begin on the 2013 timetable Harrah outlined.
"The One Broadway Plaza project has received all of its approvals and the technical plans are now being finalized by the applicant to comply with the various building, structural, fire, electrical, mechanical and plumbing code requirements," said Jay Trevino, executive director of the city Planning & Building Agency. "Once this has been completed, and all other project requirements have been satisfied, the project may commence construction. The city is in regular communication with the applicant and is working with him toward the anticipated start date in 2013."
Plans for the 37-story tower, which would be the tallest building in Orange County, have been opposed by some residents, who say it would be out of character with the nearby downtown and would create traffic problems.
Harrah acknowledged the challenges the project has faced, but outlined several positive impacts it will have. He has predicting groundbreaking in the past, only to face delays.
He said since planning for the project began, a number of changes have taken place, with several City Councils in place, changes in federal law affecting banking and finance, and points at which he had tenants but no financing, or financing but no tenants lined up.
"If it had taken three or four years, it would be different," he said. He also predicted changes in the economy – for the better. "The economy I think is going to turn around in the next couple of years, and I think people are motivated to invest in our economy."
In addition to being the tallest building in Orange County, Harrah said it would be green and the safest high-rise in the region because of its compliance with new codes.
"We're going to put 2,900 people to work, union workers," he said of construction, expected to last about three years. "It'll bring in about $3 million a year in property taxes to the city, and the residual effects will be in the hundreds of millions of dollars over the next 10 years."

Comments On May 25, 2015:fit up was great- instructions are useless but didn't really need to follow any. I like that they raise the bars slightly as being taller that is nice.

Comments On Apr 05, 2015:This kit was very easy to install for a ktm. Simply watch the excellent rocky mountain install video and you're done. It does raise the bars a little but but not much. After the first ride, it's easy to see why these are worth the money. Riding Rocks, ruts, and roots at any speed make this a great piece of safety gear.

Comments On Mar 28, 2015:First time using a stabilizer and it is amazing what it can do when riding fast in rocky, rutted junk! It did raise the bar a bit but I also wanted that. Installation was easy, fit and function fine even with an oversize tank. Gave it 5 stars for what it is and price, compared to a Scotts it would be a 4, good entry level unit.

Comments On Feb 22, 2015:I didn't really believe that this stabilizer would do all that it claimed, but it does it and more. First ride after installing and I smoked a rock on the face a dirt whoop in the desert. The bike tracked through it like it was never there. This would normally have sent me cart-wheeling through the sage brush. This thing is a life saver!

Comments On Feb 08, 2015:High quality product. Great craftsmanship. Absolutely the best CS in the business. They stand behind their product 100% and are a pleasure to talk to. It's cheaper price wise than others, but easily works just as well. It truly makes you a more confident rider. The bike stays straight and doesn't deflect off of rocks. Steering stabilizers work. Believe in them, cause they work.

Comments On Feb 02, 2015:If you ride off road this is a must. It is worth every penny. Great for desert and single track trail riding.

Comments On Jan 04, 2015:The good: The mount design is awesome. The range of adjustment seems spot on. The quality of the stabilizer is very good. The function is very good. GPR seems like a good company and was willing to take a phone call and answer some questions before I made this purchase. The bad: The screws to attach the mount to the top triple clamp were too long. I had to buy shorter ones. The post attachment for the head of the frame was difficult to mount straight and level. I am a Senior B hare scramble rider (aka slow) and was looking for something to help me hold on to the bars basically. I worked through the mounting issues and the damper functions very well. It does exactly what I hoped it would do. I ride much smoother and don't fight the bars as much anymore.

Comments On Oct 04, 2014:This my second GPR and they have paid for themselves just in Hospital CO-PAYS (lol) any way, I recommend this as a must have for racing or just hard trail riding. Many times I would have eaten the terra firma if it hadn't been for this steering stabilizer .

Comments On Sep 24, 2014:I really did my research on this one... between the top 3 steering stabilizers and I went with the GPR for one easy reason. That is the ONE dial. 1 for technical. 3 for faster. 5ish for fire roads. 8 for sandy rocky washes. Going through desert washes in Vegas feels like powder skiing. Just set it and forget it. I'm not that good of a rider that I need to set a dozen different rebound this and high compression that. It fits perfectly under the bar with almost unnoticeable bar height difference. It actually made just enough room for my for air bleeder valves. Perfect!! A couple installation notes. I found that the pin works best straight above the frame at 6 o'clock. On my 500 EXC, the bracket that is installed onto the frame rubbed against the back of my speedo. All I did was trim a little of the plastic wire support and whammo perfect. Do not ride without one of these. Jason at RMATVMC in Saint George also says service on these is second to none. Done.

Please put your hands together and warmly welcome the 27.5" wheel into the Downhill world! After toying around with the 27.5" platform in the Trail bike sector, only to be enlightened by the versatility of these prized 27.5" machines, Intense Cycles now shines the light on one of the very first 27.5" Downhill bike, with the 951 EVO. Although Downhill riding never quite adopted the 29" wheel size, the speed capabilities that come with 29" wheels has had Downhill racers licking their chops. For this reason the 27.5" platform now makes its way to the world of gravity riding. Nimble like a 26", yet fast like a 29", the 27.5" brings forth the best of both worlds.
Made with love in the USA, Intense Cycles designed the 951 EVO from the ground up to suit the capacities of 27.5" wheels. By utilizing 8.5" of travel, brought to you by Fox 40 Float 27.5 Fit, and an aggressive geometry, Intense Cycles made sure the 951 EVO is light enough in the corners and manageable in tight sections. The head tube angle has been slackened to 62.5 degrees to accommodate the 27.5 specific fork offset, which inspires confidence through daunting steeps and brutal rock gardens at high speeds. The chain stays were kept short at only 17.5 inches to provide stability at higher speeds, while remaining dexterous in the corners. Top tube lengths have been extended to ensure you have no shortage of room in the cockpit. The bias has been adjusted slightly more to the front; making the front wheels ground better for some added assistance in the curves. Because the 27.5" wheel size brings the bottom bracket height below the axle center, the bottom bracket is right at 13 3/4" to give the bike a nice, stable feeling, transitioning through to the overall control of the 951 EVO.
Intense knows there is no such thing as compromise when it comes to suiting up a first-of-its-kind frame, such as the 951 EVO, making it an easy decision to dress this monster in the gravity-specific Shimano Zee component group. Shimano Zee components were designed specifically for the types of riders who take just as much pride and pleasure shoveling jumps, as they do ripping them on two wheels. The Zee outfit includes the rear derailleur, crankset, shifters, brakes and brake levers, providing you with the reliability and performance needed to push your limits, while maintaining a welcoming price point. The LGI+ chainguide by e*thirteen, keeps chains secure while the direct mount bash guard absorbs and efelects impacts away from the chain riing. The Cane Creek Double Barrel coil rear shock is highly adjustable and feasts on boulders, roots and ramps. The 951 EVO rolls on gaping 31mm wide Novatec Demon 27.5" rims, with Novatec DH sealed bearing hubs at the centers. This work of art by Novatec provides unmatched stability, confidence and surgically-precise handling.
This beautiful build from Intense Cycles comes to you in a stunning Orange finish and no shortage of augmentations that'll be certain to turn heads at the park. Throw your leg over the 951 EVO and be one of the first ever to experience the speed and fluidity of the 27.5 Downhill bike!

What Does an IQ of 85 Mean? The Wechsler Intelligence Scale states that an IQ of 85 is classified as dull normal IQ which is also called low average intelligence. Moreover, If you have about five minutes to read this page, you will learn several interesting facts about an IQ score of 85.
To reference the IQ calculator for this IQ or any other, please visit the IQ calculator.
If you or your child previously scored 85 on an IQ test, you or your child has dull normal intelligence which is also known as low average intelligence. If an IQ score of 85 seems appropriate then there is no cause for alarm. However, if an IQ score of 85 seems a bit low, there are several reasons why you or your child has an IQ score of 85. For example, it is possible that you or your child just flat-out did poorly on the test. And the main reasons why people score poorly on tests is due to test anxiety or not being prepared or just simply being distracted.
In statistics and probability theory, the standard deviation shows how much variation or dispersion from the borderline (mean, also called expected value) exists. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean; a high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a large range of values.
When current IQ tests are developed, the median raw score of the norming sample is defined as IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or less, although this was not always so historically. By this definition, approximately 100 percent of the population scores an IQ between 70 and 130, which is within two standard deviations of the median.
The table below demonstrates a cross reference of your IQ score. For example, an IQ score of 85 received by taking the Stanford-Binet can be cross referenced to measure the same score in the Cattell Intelligence Test and the Wechsler Intelligence Tests. Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores can also be converted from an IQ score of 85. And finally, the IQ table gives you the rarity and percentile of your IQ score of 85 and it also demonstrates how your IQ score ranks against the general population.

Cycling signs NC Cat 1 Champion Road Racer
August 10, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University mens head cycling Coach Tommie Brock announced the signing of the 2009 North Carolina State Road Race Champion Justin Beard.
Beard, originally from Fayetteville now resides in Albemarle. He will be a transfer student having never raced in collegiate conference events prior to this season.
Currently, Beard is ranked number one in North Carolina road racing and Number Five in criterium racing. Pfeiffer Cycling ended last season as the 2009 ACCC (Atlantic Coast Cycling Conference) Champions. Pfeiffer raced and beat out top schools like Wake Forest, N.C. State, Duke, Navy, UNC-Wilmington, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, and Appalachian State. Cycling also won the coveted D2 National jersey in Ft. Collins, Colorado during the Collegiate National Road Race in May.
Beard is considered to be not only a very fast sprinter but an excellent climber. The cycling team is very lucky to have him racing at Pfeiffer, said Brock. The teams 2010 goal is to win the conference again, a feat that no other team has yet accomplished. As a sophomore, Beard should make an immediate impact on the team. With the help of the entire team and Beard, racing as an A, should make the upcoming race season a very exciting one.

In singles action, freshman Andreea Badileanu won at No. 2 singles, 6-3, 7-5 and Raymond emerged victorious from her No. 3 singles bout by a final of 7-6 (5), 6-1. Playing at No. 6 singles, sophomore Ana Rajkovic walked away Sunday with a 6-1, 6-0 win against her opponent.
Badileanu stretched her win streak to seven consecutive tallies with her victory at No. 2 singles and improved her team-leading record to 10-1, splitting time between No. 2 and No. 3. Rajkovic is not far behind Badileanu with an impressive 10-2 record of her own during match play at No. 6 this year.

Rating Change #4
Copano Energy LLC (CPNO) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, increase in stock price during the past year and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated.
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Get full access to Jim Cramer's thoughts for less than $3/week - sometimes before he says them on TV! Start with a 14-Day Free Trial.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 325.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$9.36 million to $21.12 million.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- COPANO ENERGY LLC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, COPANO ENERGY LLC reported poor results of -$2.86 versus -$0.36 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.02 versus -$2.86).
- CPNO, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 1.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 8.3%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for COPANO ENERGY LLC is currently extremely low, coming in at 13.30%. Regardless of CPNO's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 6.70% trails the industry average.

Glad You Asked
Q: Why Africa?
A: Because that's where our son and daughter are!!
Q: Are you crazy?
A: We couldn't be crazier! After all, we are crazy in love with each other, crazy about all 10 of our kids, crazy about adoption and driven with crazy and reckless abandon to serve till our last breath the God who has done so much for each of us.
Q. How can you afford all these kids?
A: We trust God to provide for each adoption. He has done some things that we have laughed about in amazement!! One day a man asked Dw if he could talk to him. They were at a meeting together. We did not know the man well and he knew nothing about our Ugandan babies (it was still a secret). He said that he and his wife had sold a home and they felt the Lord wanted them to give us some money from the proceeds. He handed Dw a check for a very sizeable amount. We almost fell over. Our gracious God was watching and He is providing through people who aren't even aware there is a need. How stinkin' cool is that? And for that sweet couple….we firmly believe that they are "caring for the orphans" by helping us bring Elijah and Elizabeth home.
We had a yard sale and the Lord brought people to buy up stuff we never would have thought anyone would seriously want.
We sold the camper, which was our beloved "cottage". BUT think about it….a few nights a year of pleasure OR a lifetime of pleasure with a miracle baby girl and a sweet little baby boy, promised by God!! Oh my!! We wouldn't miss it for the world.
Q: Do you take government subsidies? (This question was just asked of me on one of my flights to Uganda.)
A: I laughed my head off. No! We do not take any government subsidy. We tithe. We give away. We try to be very wise stewards of the money God has entrusted us with. I pray for brand name clothes at yard sales and thrift stores – so cool how He blesses us over and over like that! We live modestly and trust God to provide, and He has poured His blessing out in gushes!
Q: Aren't you guys kinda' old to have toddlers?
A: Old parents or no parents? Besides the way we look at it, our age only suggests that we have more experience than our 20 something counterparts.
Q: Shouldn't a child be left in his/her culture?
A: Frankly we are wondering if you ask an orphan sitting in an orphanage that question what would they say??
Let's just imagine it for a second. Imagine walking up to a 13 year old boy in China who has Arthrogryposis. He is sitting in a cement building looking at the same walls he has seen for the last 13 years. He has never been outside the gate. The doctor he has seen a few times comes to the orphanage. He walks on his deformed sides of his legs and his hands struggle to do the normal daily tasks. He gets up when they tell him, sits where they tell him, he eats the same food day in and day out. He doesn't even dream of anything different, because he knows nothing different, so there is no hope in his heart. He is curious about what he sees from the outside window, but it is far, far away and there is no real thought that he will ever be part of it. After all, when he ages out he will be put outside, most likely to beg on the streets. After all, in his culture an orphan has no place. BUT he gets to see Chinese faces everyday!! That surely must make him feel so cheery.
OR There is a 13 year old boy with Arthrogryposis who was adopted by an American family when he was just four years old. He sees pictures of how his legs once turned so desperately, but he walks with little effort, as his mom and dad had his legs worked on by a specialist. He spends parts of his day in school where he is surrounded by kids from all cultures. When he is home he can be found talking to his dad about flying planes, or his mom about hunting for treasures in another city (his mom is addicted to that Geo-thingy). He laughs, talks, rides a bike, shoot baskets outside with his Caucasion brother, gives piggy back rides to his Guatemalan sister, and can be found reading to his little African sister. He is also becoming quite the drummer because of the lessons he takes. Hmmm, let's see.
Yeah, absolutely, he would rather have been left in his culture. Ugh
Q: Are you and Dw finally done?
A: Are there still orphans in the world? Next question...
Q: Don't you guys ever secretly long for an empty nest?
A: Not for a New York minute or a Mountaintime millisecond. We've been to empty nester's homes and we find them dreadfully dull and eerily empty. NO THANKS! Bring on the bountiful bedlam, constant chaotic confusion, and gargantuan amounts of squeals and giggles – we are lovin' life!!
Q: How can you afford to keep adopting even more kids?
A: God's heart is for the orphan!! He has miraculously and faithfully provided. We have also purposed to minimize our expenses so that being wise stewards we can adopt more AND we can help others adopt more AND also go on more mission trips. We downsized our home from 4077 square feet to just about 2,011 sq. ft. We then sold our beloved "cottage" (camper). We have cut back on all needless expenses – too many kids need homes to turn our backs.
We are also convinced that His favor rests upon us as we bring each of His precious gems home to our forever family. We are equally convinced that each person who names the name of Christ will give an account one day regarding what they did for the orphan and widows. Lip service isn't enough. James 1:22 tells us we must do what His word says, not just read about it. Understand adoption is not the only way we look after the orphan. (James 1:27) but "look after" is an action verb – and we must take action!!
So back to the original question – Psalm 50:10 tells us that our Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills and is we have a need we are certain He will "sell a cow", one way or another to meet our need.
Q: Any final thoughts?
A: Dw and I are concerned about the duping of God's people. The enemy has sold many a bill of goods that "it really is all about them": That kids (their own!) are an inconvenience, luxuries really do buy happiness and if I "earned it" then I deserve it! Yet scripture is clear: "The fruit of the womb is His reward" and "If you have been given much, much will be required."
We only have one life to live and then we will stand before the judgment seat of Christ – so time is short!!!
I don't know when I will post this post, but I am typing it in the final hours of our flight to Uganda. My battery on my computer only had 30 minutes left on it. It has usually not lasted even the amount of time it says because it seems to not be holding a charge well.
BUT as I was typing this, I asked the Lord to extend the battery. I said, "Lord you know how important it is that people understand your heart for adoption". And I have been typing for almost an hour and it is not even blinking that it is nearing empty – OH YES He loves the orphan!! **tears welling** How faithful God is!! Yipppeee Jesus!!
Anyway back to some final thoughts:
Some say, "What about my age?" Almighty God says: Age, schmage!! Take in little ones!
Some say, "I don't really have time." Almighty God, the defender of orphans and widows says, "You don't have time? Time for what? The things you deem "important"? I have told you what really matters – Caring for the orphans and widows!! How much clearer do I need to make it?"
Some say, "But we can't afford it right now." Almighty God says, "You can't afford not to! Watch me provide – you will be amazed!!"
Some say, "But I already have these kids and they are driving me crazy." Almighty God says, "Stop using the world's value system when it comes to kids! Their worth is beyond words – cherish them and bring more home!"
Some say, "But I need to spend time with the ones I do have". Almighty God says, "Yes you do!! Stop wasting your time on all the things that don't really matter and spend time with them – and teach them about selflessness by bringing home brothers and sisters for them….in fact teach them about sharing first hand! Teach them about caring for others first hand!!"
You might say, "My husband doesn't want anymore." Almighty God says, "Fast and pray for your husband's heart to change – I am a big God and it certainly lines up with my will – fast, pray and watch and see what I do!!"
I am starting to laugh – that empty battery is still staying completely strong – oh Lord, how you love the orphans!!
**I edited this tonight in Uganda, but the bulk was written months ago and on the plane heading here….it still makes me smile and kind of giggle that that battery just would not quit – YES INDEED - Oh how He loves the orphan!!!
34 Simply Sweet Words:
I will be the first to comment. I am sitting in my office laughing out loud. That girl of mine is not afraid to speak the truth. That prophetic nature of her's comes a shining through. I'm married to you for 30 years and you never ever cease to amaze me. Way to go babe, preach it! ILYBL dwReplyDelete
AWESOME! That about sums it up for me. Preach on girlfriend!ReplyDelete
middle TN
Keep on preaching sister! My husband will be reading this tonight. I have been working on him.ReplyDelete
Lisa from Ohio
Wow! Not our economic system but God's! Not our value system, but God's! Not our priorities, but God's! PTL!ReplyDelete
I was taught through a Crown Financial study that everything we have is His, every penny every belonging. I find it absurd that I actually had to be taught that. Yet, so many people still have not learned the lesson. That He has given us EVERYTHING and it is our responsibility as his children to use it in ways to glorify Him.
Well said!
I needed to hear that again as my husband and I are convinced God is going to have us adopt again (not sure from where yet -maybe China again or Uganda??), but my frail human side keeps worrying about our finances. I am taking a leave of absence from my teaching job to be home with our new little son from China and only working part-time at being a private tutor. We feel God is going to provide a miracle, but sometimes I feel scared that I am not hearing His voice right. Ever feel that way? But then I read your words and the words of others on other blogs saying how God provides. We know he provided for our new little son, and now we need to take another leap of faith to begin this new adoption. Thanks and keep writing so that we may see faith in action.ReplyDelete
Janet and Kevin
AMEN!!! One question I have: may I link this from my blog? If you have been over there at all, you know I tend to write but I promise not to editorialize too much! I want MORE but DH is gong back on our calling a bit. Thank you for the reminder that GOD changes hearts not me! I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW this as He changed DH's heart before and I don't think it has changed back. We just are adjusting to life with ONE MORE!ReplyDelete
One thing I would add: pray for God to change the hearts of church leaders who seem apathetic and have the podium to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Just my two cents. You all are obviously already doing that but not all church leaders are. Again, I know I need to just pray for God to change hearts.
I love the book of James! I love the BIBLE period but James is one of my favorites when I traveled to Niger 4 years ago God gave me the book of James to chew on and 2 years later we adopted our first daughter, a year later our second daughter, and our third daughter is in China waiting on mommy and daddy to get the paperwork completed (but that's in the hands of the government so we'll have to wait on God's perfect timing to come through)!ReplyDelete
Believe me I don't know how exactly all the finances have worked out for us as we are not savers so to speak but God has provided and will continue to provide as long as we follow his will in all situations!
I haven't posted yet because I'm on dial up here in Southern Indiana (thanks to Dave Ramsey LOL!) but I have been praying for you during your journey! You have a beautiful family and we will pray for safe travels back to the states!
The Peters Family
Oh Linn...I was praying hard this morning that God would give me a word of encouragement and confirmation of our decision to adopt again, even though money is so very tight right now. I should have suspected that it would come from you! Thanks so much for your heart that reflects the Son so much we should call you "Full Moon Linny". Ha!ReplyDelete
Love you!!
Linn, I love this! Thak you for sharing and encouraging and speaking the truth! I am one of those Mama's who are fasting and praying. My prayer is that God will move mightily in my beloved husband's heart - because I just know there is another out there for us somewhere!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your gorgeous family.
~ Fiona (Mum to Ruby Zhi Xia, from Hope, also Tilly Harry and Joseph)
This is OUTSTANDING!! Truly inspired my friend...well said!! Hugs!!ReplyDelete
Good job oh wise mamma. IMO those that say "we don't want to take a child from their culture" could be translated "I don't want to bother with an adoption so I've got to say something that sounds P.C."ReplyDelete
Thanks for the insights. You indeed are a wise one!
I love this post!! Sometimes I feel guilty taking Sarah away from her country and language- after reading this - I think I won't bother feeling guilty- waste of my time! Instead I will treasure and enjoy all that we will learn together! You're awesome- bless you! Thank you for devoting yourself to our Jesus!ReplyDelete
THANK you for sharing your story. Especially the comment about "Husband is not on board." We had six, ages six and under, and now, two years later, he's tired and wants a respite from more children. I'm soooo ready to adopt an older sibling group from Ethiopia. I DO need to fast and pray!! Thank you! (We live in Bailey, I'm guessing not too far from you! :)ReplyDelete
Amen my Sista!!! I have been saying the same line about age (my husband is 42 & I'm 38) for three years now! Who cares and how old were Abraham & Sarah? Oh, how I long to laugh with them someday! Some people just don't get it but those who do...oh how blessed!! You go girl! LisaReplyDelete
Amen my sista!!! I have been using the same line about age (my husband is 42 & I'm 38) for three years now. Who cares and how old were Abraham & Sarah? Oh, how I long to laugh with her someday! Some people just don't get it but those who do...oh how blessed! You go girl!!!ReplyDelete
Wow!!! That is an amazing post!!! I would very much like to put a link to this post on my blog. Would that be ok? Thank you for this wonderful post!ReplyDelete
Yes! I spent 2 months in Uganda this year, where I helped start a small orphanage (7 kids)this October. I have been speaking some on behalf of the orphanage and the situation for orphans in Africa since returning home, and I so appreciate your perspective on adoption. I will be using some of what you have to say in this blog - it's inspiring and SO TRUE! Bless you for what you have shared! My son and his wife has started the process of adopting 2 kids from Uganda, and they sent me to your blog. It has blessed and encouraged them!ReplyDelete
Wow...we have 3 children--one adopted from China but this is making me think that maybe we are called for more. My husband is not n board for another and we are getting old but I will pray about it now.ReplyDelete
This story is such a blessing to me!! Praise God for people that love the Lord and His Children. God Bless you in your journey.ReplyDelete
In Christ's Love
I am sitting at my computer bawling after reading all 8 parts of your story (without having to wait) The Lord led me here tonight. No doubt about it. I am a young mother with two children and I have always known that I would adopt/possibly go into foster parenting. My husband through a God-sized change of heart has recently (over the past year or so) agreed to pursue adoption. We have been praying for God to open doors to us and even have a son waiting for us in P*land but currently its the lack of money that is stopping us from moving forward. It breaks my heart to know that money is the only reason we haven't been able to bring home our sweet Karol yet, and I know that I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am going to welcome orphaned children into our forever family some day... its just so hard to wait... thank you for your encouragement. My husband and I recently were shown a piece of property that is entirely way out of our price range that was built as a church camp but I see it as a home that will one day have room for SEVERAL orphaned children. I don't know how, or when, but I know God is in control... so again thank you for telling me your story... I will pray for your family.. as you recover from the fire, and as you bring home your sweet Jubilee and other children... I know there will be many! Pray for ours also, we know that there are children out there that need parents and so we are waiting for God to bring them to us.ReplyDelete
Linn, I found your blog just now, right before bedtime - so I haven't had time to read all of your amazing sounding story - but I WILL. I just wanted to say thank-you for writing this:ReplyDelete
"You might say, "My husband doesn't want anymore." Almighty God says, "Fast and pray for your husband's heart to change – I am a big God and it certainly lines up with my will – fast, pray and watch and see what I do!!"
This is for me! Thankyouthankyouthankyou for writing it.
I will read more from you soon.
Can I hear an "Amen!" We've been asked these same questions, and though we couldn't always process answers on the spot, our God whose heart is for the orphan has given us His promises, provision and peace beyond measure. We've been amazed at the ways He's provided for our children to come home to these 'old folks' :) Unfortunately, even our church family has questioned our sanity and many have chosen not to support our decision to adopt ... but we are accountable only to One. I will miss-paraphrase one of my favorite quotes: Life is not a journey to the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather totally worn out, skidding in broadside and proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!" I agree with you, Yippee, Jesus!! And that James - we simply cannot read his book without being changed!ReplyDelete
This is SO perfect!!! We have 10 children also;7 adopted. We are passionate for orphan ministry and we have been asked many of the questions that you answered here, with great humor, by the way! I don't want to live like "everyone" else and I love meeting people like your family who don't either!ReplyDelete
Thank you
I haven't read the other comments, so pardon me if this is a repeat.ReplyDelete
I feel like God had this same Question and Answer session with me. All the things you wrote, He had said to me.
I am crying, because you are so beautiful. Your heart is showing me Jesus, more than I have seen or heard in a long time.
Thank you for posting this...I am calling my sister in law and having her read this...she is struggling with infertility...I am grabbing my Knight and having him read this too...I ran back to my blog and added you as my friend...
thank you for making your life and ministry to the orphans public...thank you because sometimes I think no one understands.

Tell me your thoughts on this...why do you think it is so common for the wife to have a clear calling and desire to adopt but the husband doesn't. It took my husband years to finally sense God calling us to adopt. We'll be in China in a few months and I already have a heart to go back and I haven't even gone once yet! We have seen God work in huge ways to get us to where we are (He provided +$15,000 in one night at a fundraiser we put together in less than two months and on and on...). My husband clearly sees God's hand in this, but he thinks I'm looney for even considering adopting another child. Do you think it is just that a mom has a more tender heart toward children and is open to hearing God's voice in this matter? I'm just curious on your thoughts. I know this is so common. I'm perplexed because my husband is a Godly man who prays daily for our marriage and family. How can I hear God so clearly and my husband doesn't?julia.
Well said. One question I have, is how do you deal with the heartbreak that is racial ignorance of not just rural america, but the country in general? I'm multi-racial, born in 1979 who was adopted by white father/black mother, but looked like neither, racially or otherwise. Please know I do not ask in the spirit of criticism, I was/am planning on doing something similar later in life.ReplyDelete
Your post was written over a year ago, but it is confirmation for me today. I am married with children ages 17, 9 and 2. I know we are called to adopt, but my husband is not so sure. I had somewhat given up hope on him coming around, but your post has given me a reminder that our GOD is in control. Duh, I just need to fast and pray. This has served me well all my saved life and there is no reason to stop relying on GOD just because my husband says no. I won't nag or bug, but I will quietly fast and pray and watch how my LORD, SAVIOR, REDEEMER and CREATOR of all things responds. I know I will hear from heaven.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this reminder. I feel like I had fallen asleep and this, your post woke me. Thank LORD JESUS(Yahshua=Hebrew name) for your grace and directing me to this site.
FYI, I was searching for "sukkoths" and came across another blogger "davidandsarah" which had a link to your blog and found this post.
CRAZY...YES, the KING of Kings is on the throne.
Hi, Linny! I discovered your blog yesterday and just finished reading your wild adventure and some other important posts. I have always had a heart for adoption, but this settles it. All through the beautiful story I held back the tears, but when I read how your husband called and asked how big your arms were, I let go and wept. My four-month old began making concerned sounds as she is not used to hearing her mama sob. Praise the Lord for you and your husband and every one of your precious children.ReplyDelete
I pray that God blesses you more - those who have will be given more. Let that be prophetic for you.
So, I have been urging my husband to consider adoption or at least foster care and he is saying not right now and that he needs to have a dream from the Lord and we need to work on our marriage. (Briefly, it has been a VERY rough year and a half of marriage thus far. We almost did not make it for a number of reasons, but God is good and has blessed our efforts to stay together and work on our relationship and love each other.) We just had our first baby and are open to as many as the Lord would give us!!
So many children out there need homes. I, too, have worked abroad in orphanages when I was younger and I thought I would like to take some of them home (not possible at that time). I want so many.... so badly. :)
If you want to and can take some time, please email me at email@example.com. I had a blog, but am in process of switching from that one to a totally different one with a different theme.
Again, God bless you. You have inspired me and many out there.
Thank you so much for this post. We are Forty-somethings adopting two children from Uganda hopefully very soon. We look younger so we don't get too many awkward questions about our age but we get lots of the other questions...this post gives me hope and courage for the years to come! Thank you!!!ReplyDelete
O my goodness, Linny! When I got to your comment about your husband doesn't want anymore! I about fell off my chair! I guess you know what I will be doing! God is so good! You are such an inspiration! WOW! I would fill my house to the gills to give kids a permanent home...I just have to pray for God to change the heart of my husband and our 5 children! I hope I can talk to you more and give you a little history! He has already moved mountains in this house! YIPPEE JESUS!ReplyDelete
Great responses! :) The most frustrating one I've gotten is from people who ask why overseas - why not the US? I've found that if I tell them briefly and they are receptive then they were truly curious, if they argue with me then they're looking for an argument and I can end the conversation. Although next time I think I'll give them your website. ;)ReplyDelete
God recently led me to 3 treasures in DRC Africa. He convinced my heart immediately that they are mine. I am still trying to get the agencies help with alternative routes. Since my husband and I have only been married 4 years and Congo requires min 5 yrs.. and If my husband adopts as a single with my "consent" he may not be allowed to adopt the 2 girl siblings that are 3 and 2 yrs old. We believe God lead us to them. I do not think He wants us to wait a year to begin adopting them.. but, I do not know what choices we have. I write and call the agency every day.. it is so frustrating. But, I believe in God's timing and if He is testing me I will be faithful.. I will wait, in the mean-time I will do everything I can and know how to be ready. Oh, and did I mention that we have not saved a dime for adoption.. we didn't know this was coming. We do not have equity in our home this economy is so bad. Literally have no idea where the money will come form but, trust it will come at just the right times. He has already provided the 1500 needed out- of- thin- air for the home study. I am praising Him everyday, bc I know He has already provided every last cent and moved every mountain out of our paths. He is smiling on the other side already, and the children have yet to even be referred to us. I cannot wait to watch and see how He does all of this!ReplyDelete

The difference is that an idler rotates freely around bearings at its center, while a pulley will have a notch (or some other device) to fix it to a shaft that it rotates around.


text: Was anyone else bothered in this episode hearing both "Lee" (now Bluebeard with a transparent accent) and "Clementine" (small frog boy) in a new game? Surely this isn't an issue for people who haven't played TWD, but these were the two major characters of the last game, now relegated to cameos in a totally different world. What, does TTG only know 20 VA's? I just found that it was distracting and contributed to a sub-par installment. Anyone else think they should keep their hands off the major characters from their other games in a more serious effort towards immersion?

They couldn't start it, and Bean said he had to tell them repeatedly to push in the clutch. They still couldn't figure out how to drive it. Eventually, they ran of

Let It Come Down
Let It Come Down (Paperback)
In Let It Come Down, Paul Bowles plots the doomed trajectory of Nelson Dyar, a New York bank teller who comes to Tangier in search of a different life and ends up giving in to his darkest impulses. Rich in descriptions of the corruption and decadence of the International Zone in the last days before Moroccan independence, Bowles's second novel is an alternately comic and horrific account of a descent into nihilism.
About the Author
Paul Bowles was born in Queens, New York, in 1910. He began his travels as a teenager, setting off for Paris, telling no one of his plans. In 1930 he visited Morocco for the first time, with Aaron Copland, with whom he was studying music. His early reputation was as a composer and he wrote the scores for several Tennessee Williams plays. Bowles married the writer Jane Auer in 1938, and after the war the couple settled in Tangier. In Morocco Bowles turned principally to fiction. The Sheltering Skyinspired by his travels in the Saharawas a New York Times bestseller in 1950, and has gone on to sell more than 250,000 copies. It was followed by three further novels, numerous short stories, nonfiction, and translations. Bowles died in Tangier in 1999.

Vet who spent 35 combat missions in a B-29 visits last one flying
Ian Terry / The Herald
Former member of the 792nd Bombardment Squadron Harry Spencer, 93, looks out over the cockpit of a B-29 plane during a visit to the Historic Flight Foundation with his family Saturday in Mukilteo. Spencer flew 35 missions aboard Boeing B-29 planes as a bombardier and navigator during the Second World War in the Pacific Theater.

With a helping hand from his son Michael Spencer (left), 93-year-old World War II veteran Harry Spencer boards the cockpit of a B-29 aircraft during a visit with his four sons to the Historic Flight Foundation at Paine Field in Mukilteo on Saturday. Spencer flew 35 missions aboard B-25 planes in the Pacific Theater including 17 times over the Himalayan mountain range and back.

Flight records kept by Harry Spencer during WWII. The left side refers to supply flights over the Himalayas, called the Hump by World War II aviators. The bombers had to fly their own fuel, bombs and other supplies from India to Chengdu, China, the air crew�s forward base. From Chengdu, Spencer and other airmen flew combat missions against Japanese military targets, which are logged on the sheet�s right side. The first combat mission entry � June 5, 1944 � was not only Spencer�s first mission, it was the first combat debut for the B-29. Spencer also was on the first B-29 raid against the Japanese home islands -- the June 15, 1944, raid on Yawata, Japan.

Spencer (back row, second from right) with crew members of the City of Pittsburgh, the second B-29 he was assigned to during World War II. The plane was named by its pilot, Major MacPherson, who had been a police officer in Pittsburgh before the war, Spencer said.
The B-29's cramped interior felt familiar, "like I haven't been away," Harry Spencer said.
The Everett native spent his war in the B-29's front seat as bombardier on 35 combat missions. He was on the heavy bomber's first foray into combat and its first raid on Japan. His war was at times exhilarating, tedious, terrifying and tragic.
"Scared? If you weren't, you weren't normal," said Spencer, who now lives in Marysville.
He came to Paine Field on Saturday to visit the last flying B-29, which is on a national tour, and show his four sons where he fought the war.
The plane, called Fifi, is maintained by the Commemorative Air Force, which has restored and operates more than 150 vintage aircraft. It is open to the public at the Historic Flight Foundation in Mukilteo through July 6.
Spencer's parents owned a small grocery store in Everett, and he grew up just south of Paine Field, which became a U.S. Army air base in the late 1930s. He joined the Washington National Guard before graduating from Everett High School in 1938, but his enlistment ended before the U.S. entered World War II after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in late 1941.
A few months later, Spencer enlisted in the Army, hoping to become a pilot. He went through various aviation training in California and Texas, was commissioned as a second lieutenant and assigned to serve as a bombardier of the U.S. Army Air Force's new heavy bomber, the Boeing B-29.
The plane bristled with machine guns to ward of enemy fighters, which earned it the moniker Superfortress.
It was the most sophisticated bomber of its day, and it could fly higher, faster and farther with more bombs than any other bomber at the time, said Daniel Haulman, a military aviation historian.
The B-29 was a critical weapon in the Allies' war against Japan, but it suffered technical problems when first introduced in 1943, he said. "They had a lot of problems with the engines," specifically engine fires.
"That didn't prevent the B-29 from being used increasingly against Japan," Haulman said.
In late 1943, the 22-year-old Spencer was assigned to a B-29 with the 792nd Bombardment Squadron, and told to meet his crew and plane at an airbase near Salinas, Kansas. He arrived at the base to see emergency vehicles rushing about and black smoke rising from the end of the runway. A B-29 had crashed and burned during landing.
"The only thing you could tell of a plane was the big tail," he said. "I wanted to get back in the taxi and get back to Everett."
Instead, he and his crew flew across the Atlantic, North Africa and India en route to their forward operating base in Chengdu, China.
On June 5, 1944, Spencer's plane, a B-29 called Pepper, joined nearly 100 others in the B-29's first combat mission. The target was Japanese military sites in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ten days later, Spencer took part in the first B-29 raid against Japan itself, dropping bombs on the city of Yawata.
American bomber strategy against Japan and Germany focused on dropping bombs from high altitude on specific targets, a tactic called precision bombing.
But "the technology at the time didn't allow for much precision," said Haulman, the historian.
Over Japan, B-29s often flew above 30,000 feet, so high that they ran into the jet stream, fast moving and previously unknown air currents.
The strong winds and technologically limited bomb sights meant planes often missed their targets.
Occasionally, the bombs didn't even make it out of the plane.
On one early raid, Spencer hit the bomb release switch, but two of the massive bombs were stuck.
"They were swinging back and forth, attached on one side," he said.
With the bomb bay doors open and flying thousands of feet up in the air, he crawled out on a catwalk and began trying to kick the bombs loose.
"I didn't know if the damn thing was going to go off in my face, but I was supposed to be the expert. I got the bombs out," he said. "Previously, I thought that it was going to be an easy war. I changed my mind after that."
The B-29s had to contend with technical problems, enemy fighters and antiaircraft and weather. And in China, Spencer's unit had to fly in its own supplies from India, which meant crossing the Himalayas — the tallest mountain range on Earth. Allied flyers called it flying the Hump.
After some missions, "half the barracks would be empty," Spencer said. "It would give you a pretty hopeless feeling; you'd think, God, I could be next."
He did more praying during those years then he did the rest of his life, he said.
In spring 1945, his squadron was transferred to Tinian Island, a small Pacific outcrop that became a major American airbase for raids on Japan.
By that time, the U.S. had changed tactics for its air campaign against Japan, abandoning precision bombing for firebombing. B-29s began dropping incendiary bombs at much lower altitudes — 6,000 to 8,000 feet — at night. The resulting firestorms devastated Japanese cities and the country's ability to wage war.
In late May, he flew a night mission over Tokyo.
"It looked like the whole city was ablaze — the fires, the ack ack, planes going down — ours and theirs. It was just like flying into hell. But you were so busy, you didn't have time to be scared," he said.
The fires created powerful updrafts that would toss the B-29s around.
Firebombing was a fearsome tactic that severely weakened Japan, but also killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.
"Japan's leaders realized the trend was toward their cities' destruction," a consideration that helped end the war, Haulman said.
Even during the war, Spencer didn't like the idea of bombing industrial cities, which meant killing civilians.
But "I felt we were right in the war. Japan started it," he said. "War is never fun. I lost a lot of good friends."
Spencer flew his 35th — and final — mission in July 1945. Japan surrendered the next month.
He returned to Everett after the war, finished college and went into community banking. He met and married his wife, Dorothy, and raised four sons — Dennis, Steve, Tim and Mike. They all graduated from Everett High School and still live in the area, along with Spencer's 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
His boys heard his war stories countless times growing up, Tim Spencer said.
Stepping inside Fifi, the B-29 at Paine Field, brought those stories to life.
"When you're a kid, you're like, yeah, Dad, I've heard that before. But to sit in the bombardier's seat in the nose, look out of that glass bubble and think what it must have been like to be shot at," he said and shook his head. "For my dad, that was the hinge point of his life."
Spencer didn't hesitate to sign up during World War II, but he wouldn't want his grandkids or great-grandkids to have to go to war, he said.
"I wouldn't take a million dollars for my experiences, but I wouldn't take a million to do them again."

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Miami University senior Jarrod Eick highlighted a quintet of RedHawks on the men's track and field team who competed on the opening day of the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds Thursday, as he qualified for the 1500m quarterfinals at North Carolina A&T State University's Irwin Belk Track at Aggie Stadium.
Eick (Hartville, Ohio) clocked a personal-best time of 3:44.12, which was sixth in his first round heat, but it was also the sixth-fastest qualifying time among all 48 runners. The top five from each of the four heats automatically advances to the quarterfinals, however Eick earned one of four at-large berths by having one of the next best four times. He actually had the best at-large time, which placed him 21st in qualifying. His time ranks him fifth in school history, as he improved on his qualifying time of 3:46.07, which had him seeded 36th. Eick, who was 37th at last year's East Prelims in the 1500m first round, runs in the 1500m quarterfinals on Saturday at 6:45 p.m. He is the only Mid-American Conference runner in the 24-man field, while Notre Dame's Jeremy Rae had the top first round time of 3:43.33.
Senior John Cantwell (Holland, Pa.) led a pair of RedHawks in the long jump as he closed out his career by placing 26th in the prelims with a leap of 7.12m/23-4.5. He recorded the mark on his third and final attempt, improving on each jump. Junior Sam Spallinger (Pandora, Ohio) finished 34th with a jump of 6.95m/22-9.75, which he posted on the second of his three attempts. Cantwell, who was the top MAC finisher among the six in the 48-man field, entered the meet seeded 15th with a jump of 7.58m/24-10.5, which is second in school history. Spallinger was seeded 33rd with his mark of 7.43m/24-4.5, which won him the MAC title, though he was third among MAC jumpers Thursday. Spallinger was sixth in flight two while Cantwell was ninth in flight three. Virginia Tech's Jeff Artis-Gray won the prelims with a leap of 7.83m/25-8.25, while the top 12 finishers advanced to the NCAA Championships.
Junior Rob Stein (Villa Park, Ill.) placed 32nd in the discus with a heave of 49.64m/162-10. Stein, who has qualified for the East Prelims all three years as a RedHawk, entered the meet ranked 21st in the region with his throw of 55.79m/183-0, which ranks him third in school history. Last year, he fouled on all three attempts, but this year he improved on each of his three throws and finished 13th in flight two. He was fourth among the six MAC throwers in the 48-man field, while Kent State's Reginald Jagers was the only one to finish in the top 12 and advance to the NCAA Championships. Rutgers' James Plummer was first in the discus prelims with a toss of 61.27m/201-0.
Fellow junior Jahquil Hargrove (Norristown, Pa.) capped Miami's day at the East Prelims as he equaled his seed by finishing 38th in the 400m dash first round, crossing in 47.44. He entered the meet ranked 38th out of 48 with his qualifying time of 47.23. The top 24 advanced to the 400m quarterfinals on Friday, with the top three in each of the six heats, along with the next six best times making the field. Mississippi State's Daundre Barnaby had the top first round time of 45.47.
Sophomore Tyler Yee (Florida, N.Y.) is the lone RedHawk to compete on Friday at the East Prelims, as he throws the javelin at noon. He enters ranked 38th in the region and is one of five MAC throwers in the first round. He will throw in the first of three flights while the top 16 overall get three more throws in the final, before 12 move on to the NCAA Championships. Along with Eick running on Saturday, freshman Peter Stefanski (Aurora, Ill.) competes in the high jump at 6 p.m. as the seventh RedHawk at the NCAA prelims.
