In 2009, I pray that my sponsored child . . .
In 2009, I pray that my sponsored child . . .
In 2009, I pray that my sponsored child gains a better understanding of God's love for him, and will accept Jesus as his savior (if he has not yet already).
…will accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior and decide to live for Him for all the days of her life.
In 2009, I pray that my sponsored children remain safe and protected. I pray that they learn that God truly loves them and he thinks of them as his sons. I pray they come to know the value and worth they have to God. May they have a healthy self value and self worth that comes from God. May they accept Jesus in their lives. I want them to know that I love them.
I pray that my sponsored child continues to attend and work hard in school. I pray that he continues to attend church and love the Lord. I pray that he remains so beautifully optimistic, despite the difficulties his country faces with drought and rising food prices. I pray that my sponsorship continues to offer him and his family some protection from the hardships of the world. I pray that I continue to be the very best sponsor to him that I can be. That what I say to him and send to him makes a difference in his life.
I pray for our children to understand the truth about Jesus, and not be led astray. I pray for good health and safety throughout the year. I ask for guidance for their futures and for strong, healthy friendships and godly counsel. I pray they will understand how greatly they are loved and valued by God and by me.
I pray that my sponsored child is warm and full and loved today. I pray that she experiences God's love for her through another human being today. I pray that she goes to sleep tonight in peace.
I pray that my sponsored children feel loved and valued. I pray they remain safe and healthy. I pray that my sponsored childred develop a mind set that they CAN make a difference in the world. I pray they feel how much I love them through my letters.
Feels the love of Jesus Christ every single day of his life.
I pray that my sponsored children will come to know Christ on a deeper level, that they will know how much He values them, and they will become more like him everyday.
finds a way to go to college and stays strong in her faith. I pray for God to protect her physically and emotionally. I pray for her family's health and her country's political stability.
It depends on which child, but the biggest thing that I pray for each child is that they will accept Christ as their Saviour. "What shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul." The answer is nothing. But the flipside is also true: "What shall it profit a man, if he gains Christ, but gains nothing in the world." The answer to that would be EVERYTHING. Because out life is so short in comparrison to eternity.
Having said that, I also pray for their health and that they will do well in school and for some odd reasons, the children, I sponsor tend to have a hard time in Mathematics. It's ironic, because I teach Calculus! Well, maybe that's so that I can help them with it. I had a good time teaching some math to some students in a La Paz project. It was fun!
I pray that my sponsored children fulfill the potential that God has given them, that they will not be held back by their circumstances, that self-doubt will not creep into their minds as they grow and mature and that they will never lose faith in the power, glory and mercy of God.
I pray that my sponsored children learn their inborn faith of Islam. Accept life as a test, and accept Jesus as the messenger of Allah.
I'm not totally sure what this prior post means, but one thing that I'm very thankful for is that Compassion recognizes Christ as the One, Who is God and came to die on the cross to pay for all of our sins, so that if we place our trust in Him, that we could be assured that our sins are forgiven. Because He died on the cross and because He is God, He is the only Way and He is the Truth and the Life.
Amen, Kees!
I pray that my sponsored children (and my "departed" sponsored children) will feel Gods love in their lives every day. I pray that they know that I still love them even when I'm not able to write to them any more because they're no longer in the program – they've graduated. I'm thankful for my new sponsored child Andy and pray that if she's not already accepted Christ that she will. I pray for the health and safety of her grandmother and for the parents of my other sponsored children and for the other adults and churches that work with them as partners of Compassion.
…ignore the enemy's lies about his life and allow Christ to work in him.
…receive more letters from his sponsor.
that our sponsored daughter in Africa keeps growing in her faith and love for Jesus. I am asking God to give her the endurance she needs to do well is school as well as work hard at home to help her family. She is an amazing girl that we have had the privilege of loving on for six years! Most importantly that she will not loose sight of her God when times get tough in her country.
My prayer is that this little 6- year-old African boy will have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that because of that, his entire family, and even his entire village will know Jesus as well. I pray that they will know that the hand of God provides for their needs because He loves them. I pray that they will not go to sleep hungry, ad that they will know that I love them, too.
I pray that my sponsored little girls will fulfil the full potential that God has given them, that they will not be hindered by their circumstances. I pray that they will see themselves as God sees them, not as the world sees them. I pray that they will be protected, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, that the Lord will stand watch over them as they sleep, as they travel, as they learn, as they pray. I pray that they will know that they are being bathed in prayers and in love.
I have four girls, each of them the new one, bacause I am new at a Compassion, too. I have not even got everyones albums yet here to Finland. Those girls are from 7 to 18 years old in different countries. What I will pray for them, is thet they, who don´t now have Jesus as their Saviour, would find the great truth and accept Jesus to their lives, and that those, who are already Jesus followers, would grow in their faith. And that everyone could feel the presence of Jesus in their lives, if they understand, what it is or if they only feel something very precious.
Also I hope and pray, that they would have lovely and caring homes – I saw one video where a little boy told he liked most to be at church, because there no-one hits him.
And for myself I pray understanding for "my children" and the love to them, such love that they could easily believe and understand and feel.
Welcome to the Compassion family, Helena. I've found that I am blessed by being a sponsor as much my child is, but differently.
Be relentless in their knowledge of the TRUTH and never give up on their God-given dreams and aspirations.
Will realize how much they have to offer this world. That they can rise above and beyond.
I pray that my sponsored child will continually grow in her love relationship with Jesus and that she would always remember no matter how hard her circumstances get, that Jesus is always there with her!!!
I pray that my little girl will continue to do well in her studies, continue to grow closer to Jesus and be abel to one day go out and tell the world about our Savior. I pray for her health and she always has a warm dry place to sleep and food in her stomach.

The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School said the burden is likely to be heaviest for poor voters and for blacks and Hispanics. While the states are required to provide free photo identification for those who lack a driver's license or other documentation, people must often obtain copies of birth certificates or marriage licenses, at a cost, to get the ID.
The states that have adopted the new laws requiring voters to produce photo ID to cast their ballots are Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, all currently with Republican-dominated state governments. Supporters of the laws say they are necessary to reduce election fraud.
The report said 10 million eligible voters in those states live more than 10 miles from the nearest office where they can obtain a free photo ID and 500,000 of them do not have cars.
Some part-time offices also have very limited hours. In Sauk City, Wis., for example, the office is open only on the fifth Wednesday of the month -- and only four months this year have five Wednesdays.

Invite your child to reduce, reuse, and recycle with Diego! Here's a fun way to recycle your child's old T-shirts and turn them into a Diego snuggle pillow that delivers a "green" message!
Watch Diego only on Nick Jr.
Find one of your child's outgrown T-shirts. Wash and dry.
Choose the appropriate iron-on image and the type of iron-on transfer paper based on the color of your fabric. For dark-colored fabrics, print the non-reversed iron-on onto transfer paper for dark clothing. The image is ironed onto the fabric faceup. For lighter fabrics, print the reverse image iron-on onto transfer paper for light clothing. The image is ironed facedown onto the fabric. Cut out the iron-on image and iron it onto the center of the T-shirt using the transfer paper's instructions.
Seal the bottom of the T-shirt and the edges of the sleeves with fabric glue. Let dry. If the front and back of the neck opening are at different heights, cut along the lower line so the front and back have identically curved edges to glue together.
Stuff the pillow through the neck opening with batting or old, soft clothes that you think would fit in.
Once the "pillow" is pumped up, seal the neck opening with fabric glue and let dry.
Make tropical music with the sounds of the rain forest
Your preschooler will love prowling around the house in toasty Baby Jaguar slippers!

Thread: Your favorite vetiver?
I'm a total vetiver freak, it's my favorite note and I'm crazy about vetiver-heavy things and vetiver soliflores. I'm really curious to see which vetiver-centered frags you guys prefer these days.
I cannot just pick one and have to split my own vote - it goes to smoky classy Sycomore and fierce rooty Route du Vétiver. But which vetiver frag is your favorite? Vetiver is vast territory - maybe I didn't even list it?

Timbuktu and Sycomore
Only have tried the Guerlain, Lalique and Tom Ford ones. Out of these, Guerlain's wins.
Vote goes to Givenchy.
Also own and enjoy Original Vetiver, Sycomore, Fat Electrician, Molinard Vetyver.
Of the ones I have tried...Dior Vetiver and Givenchy Vetyver
Another for Givenchy, and I also like Sycomore, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Grey Vetiver, Vetiver Tonka ...... and the rest are ok too
You're right, it's not listed. Lubin's Le Vetyver
Voted Givenchy Vetyver and Other (for Bois 1920's Vetiver Ambrato).
I now realise i like vetiver in two ways: Straight-up sometimes, and as a main note with other dominant notes other times. the Givenchy was my first vetiver ever and favourite straight-up vet.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
You missed the best: Molinard Vetyver - a bit dirty but pure, sheer vetiver...
Creed Original Vetiver
My favourite isn't there - Original Vetiver. Bright, crisp, clean, sharp, fresh. Not in the least bit earthy or stanky. Very wearable.
Vetyver by Carlo Corinto
Every Vetiver I own is my favorite. If I don't own it, then I ether have not tried it yet or did not like it.
Creed Original Vetiver.
TDC Sel de Vetiver
Atelier Vetiver Fatal
Heely Sel Marin
Chanel Sycomore
Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire
Hermes Vetiver Tonka
Waiting on LesNez Vetiver Turtle Front to arrive.
My favourit is Sycomore, I love how vetiver smell so smoky and classy, but I have not tried all the scent listed yet.
***My favourite from my collection***
-------- Amouage Tribute Attar
------ Serge Lutens: Ambre Sultan
-------- Les Exclusifs de Chanel: Sycamore
------ Amouage: Fate Man
-------- Amouage: Epic Man
------ Tom Ford Private Blend: Noir de Noir
-------- Terre D'Hermès Pure Parfum
------ EDP FM: Carnal Flower
-------- Neela Vermire Creations: Trayee
------ Dior: Leather Oud
------- Hermèssence: Ambre Narguilé
Creed Original Vetiver
There's no way I could pick from that list...my most recent acquisition Turtle Vetiver Front certainly ranks up there is a big way, as does MdO Vetyver...but then there's Dior's which is super nice and one that brought about my love for vetiver in general. Vetiver Tonka...Sycomore...ugh
It's probably a tie between Turtle and Vetyver though.
So would you say Sycomore is particularly feminine? What notes are responsible for Chanel marketing as a feminine fragrance?
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
Les Nez all the way.
Vetiver Extraordinaire is the best vetiver I have tried
For me, Givenchy. By miles.
Snarky is as snarky does.
That's a great list. I love several of them, but when push came to shove, I had to go with Lorenzo Villoresi.
From this list: the ones by Guerlain and Etro, further faves of mine not listed here: Creed OV, Chpard Noble Vetiver, Lanvin Vetiver, cheapie evergreen Vetiver Carven, plus the discontinued Eau de Vetiver by Yves Rocher and... the vetiver notes in Mugler Cologne.
Creed's Original Vetiver then Creed's 1948 Vetiver in that order...I just ordered a sample of Mona D'Orio Vetiver frag and am hoping I will enjoy that one too...
Guerlain remains my favourite after trying many others, but special mention for one not inlcuded in list, Adolfo Dominguez
+1 for sycomore
From the list, TF Grey Vetiver.
Not on the list - Chopard Noble Vetiver and l'Occitane Eau de Vetyver
Vetiver Extraordinaire
"You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality." - Ayn Rand
"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical...It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson
I picked Givenchy too. My other favourite vetiver not listed is Prada's Infusion de Vetiver.
From the list my favorite is Guerlain. I also really like Prada Infusion de Vetiver.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
I am not a big vetiver fan. For example, vetiver Extraordinaire is incredibly over whelming to my nose. The only vetiver I have been able to tolerate, is Chanel's Sycomore. I do respect the fact that so many fragrance hobbyists love the scent of vetiver. I just don't dig it so much.
Vetiver Tonka and Sycomore.
I like all in your list with the only possible exception made for Fumidus which feels too unbalanced to me.
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
Vetiver Pour Elle (Guerlain), Vetiver Tonka (Hermés), Vetiver (Dior)
The Givenchy is so pungent and stanky good!!
Sycomore by Chanel
Voted "other."
Creed Vetiver '48 is the King
Route du Vétiver is earthy, strong, lively. Like a slap on your face with an elegant glove.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
Encre Noire
Vetiver Extraordinaire
Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver
Guerlain Vetiver
Annick Goutal Vetiver
Maitre Parfumer et Gantier Vetiver ( the original issue )
Maitre Parfumer et Gantier Racine ( the original issue )
Santa Maria Novella Vetiver ( Fabulous and not in the poll )
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
Chanel Sycomore is my favourite vetiver by the absolute widest of margins.
Floris Vetiver (discontinued), Vetiver Extraordinaire.
I voted Sycomore (currently in the lead with 28% ).

I do love me some vetiver though!
I like rich fragrances and voted for Guerlain and Encre Noire. They are complex and multi-faceted. I also think the dry straight forward ones such as Sycomore, Etro and Vetiver Extraordinaire are good, but in the end I prefer something rich and lush.
* Serge Lutens rules *

I don't know what it is about vetiver, I cannot tolerate it. I wish that I could enjoy this wonderful note. So many persons seem to love it to the point that I feel jealous. I tried vetiver extroardinaire a couple of times and could not go through the day without having washed it off. It is potent stuff. I can appreciate it for I know many excellent fragrances contain vetiver, but I cannot get by nose to like it.
I have Guerlain and that shit is way to powerful. It gives me a headache. The last time I wore it people were backing away. It's already a weird scent for someone who isn't into fragrance. Tried TF and had to scrub. Cdg2man was pretty good. What's a straight up vetiver that's smooth and mellow.

OK I have to pick up Sycomore. Does anyone know where it is sold? Or where I can sample it?

Nice Simple Magnet
My fiance and I will be getting married on the beach in our home state of South Carolina, so I wanted something beachy. At first when I saw this magnet I was turned off do to the colors, Brown...eww! As soon as I starting playing with the design and colors, it came to life. I went with a bluish teal (instead of the brown) and kept the pale yellow. Two weeks later they arrived in the mail. They turned out beautiful!! I couldn't be happier!! I also went with the matching address labels and changed the colors to match the magnets.
Awesome Service
Our save the date magnets came out beautifully, and the company rushed them out to me despite the quoted production time - I assume this is because they read my note about me being in a rush to let people know about my last minute destination wedding! Much appreciated!! Reasonable prices, website personalization was super easy, great selection of complementary items to accompany invitations... We ordered our invites from MS as well and are eagerly awaiting them. I also really appreciated the invitation samples folder that came with our save the dates. It was so helpful for choosing wording and paper type. Only negative feedback is that I wish that the quantities could be chosen in smaller increments. We are sending 30 invites, but had to order 50. Overall, couldn't be more pleased!!
Beautiful design, FAST delivery
This place had exactly the look I wanted for my beach themed wedding and very quick delivery. I ordered on Friday and received my invitations the following Tuesday and they are just perfect!! I would most definitely recommend.
These invites are perfect for our beach wedding. They were easy to customize to be exactly as we wanted them. We ordered a just for one and it took quite a while to get here and we were a little hesitant about ordering the full set of invites. But we loved them so we did, just changed up the orientation a bit to the flat version from the gate fold, and we are so glad we did! It looks awesome. They came so fast and in an awesome box. Great color choices. We love them!
For the most part exceeded my expectations
What impressed me the most other than the design and the product was the quality of the service. My order was a rush order as things kept changing and I needed it in time to travel overseas. The phone representatives and the design deparment all worked with me to get the order out on time. I actually received it earlier than the expected date. The only minor issue was the last two segments of my program had to be placed on one line instead of separate lines due to space constraints

Shivambu…Awakening the Healer Within
By Olivia Rae
Over a month ago now I started Shivambu.
What is Shivambu, I hear you ask. Shivambu means literally "Water of Shiva". So where am I getting this water of Shiva…well without graphics…I collect it each morning.
Shivambu in English terms refers to Self-Urine Therapy. Okay, I heard you gasp, just hang on a second. Let's get this clear, urine is not actually a dirty, toxic waste product. Our urine is a by-product of our blood filtration. Nutrient-filled blood passes through the liver where toxins are removed to be excreted as solid waste. Eventually, this purified 'clean' blood undergoes a filtering process in the kidneys, where excess water, salts, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antibodies, urea, uric acid and other elements not usable at that time by the body are collected in the form of a purified, sterile, watery solution that is urine. The important elements in the blood are not filtered out because they are toxic and harmful to the body, but simply because the body does not need a particular concentration of an element at that specific point in time.
So why re-ingest it, if our bodies did not need it. Well, for numerous reasons…
- when re-utilized, these elements and nutrients in the urine act as natural vaccines, antibacterial, antiviral and anticarcinogenic agents, as well as hormone balancers and allergy relievers
- it wakes up the healer within, which works on a mechanical level as well as an energetic level, healing all levels of body, mind and spirit
- urine is considered a supernatural, living food because it is a by-product of the blood and contains 'life force' or prana
- can take you deeper on the spiritual path, awakening and rising kundalini
So why am I doing it? Well last year when I was doing my teacher training, Natalia (one of our beautiful teachers of Ayurveda, Chakras, Yogic Psychology, and all round amazing, wise and beautiful person) mentioned Shivambu, and it caught my attention. However back then, I was quite hesitant…I guess I was not ready for it. Everything happens for a reason though…and this year when I was gifted a spot in the Yogic Psychology & Shat Karmas course with Natalia…she brought it up again. I knew this was the right time. There was no mucking around I was to start it the next morning.
Why I had felt as though it was the right time was because I had been trying different healing modalities all year and had done lots of work on myself (I had healed a lot of physical and emotional issues already, but I was still determined to get my menstruation back naturally – which disappeared during an abusive relationship I was in), and yes a lot did shift and change, but something still wasn't right (my menstruation was still missing). I had a yearning for something deeper. I knew that the deepest of my core had been damaged…my spirit had been hurt…it felt as though everything had shut down…had been cut off. The different healing modalities were helping, but their approach was from the outside in…I needed to start deep healing from the inside out.
Day 1 – 30/7/13 – 04:30am
Woke up easily, slightly excited. This was it. As I got onto the toilet with my cup in hand – waited for mid stream and then filled it up. It really dawned on me then, exactly what I was doing. I was about to drink my own pee. I finished up my business, washed my hands, and then came back to sit on the toilet (with the lid down), somehow it just seemed right. The anticipation built, as if I had just taken a pregnancy test. My body started to pulse with energy (quite strongly). I really did feel safe, and that this was the right time. I said a little prayer to the universe. 'I am grateful for your support, I am grateful for your love, I am ready to completely cleanse, body, mind and spirit, so I can be the best human I can be this lifetime'. As I looked at the glass, it just reminded me of apple juice, so I just rolled with that, however as I brought it closer to my mouth, it didn't smell the same as apple juice. The smell wasn't that bad (as I have a pretty clean diet already). What was it that was stopping me drink this right now? My mind – thoughts of – this is gross, yuck, what the hell are you doing, this is crazy, you're not going to drink your pee…but I choose not to identify with them…my hunger for higher consciousness, for depth, for deep cleansing and healing was too strong. I brought it up to my lips, and just started with a sip. Wow, I couldn't believe it. I'm not going to lie, it is an extremely strange experience, but it wasn't that bad. Natalia was right, it is a pungent flavour – like I have had other food that has been much worse than this. I was able to bring myself to have another sip – this one the flavour was much stronger. Then that was all I could handle. I poured the rest down the toilet. Only to remember that I should have kept it for my skin (for a face mask). Oh, well, there's always tomorrow!
Day after day, it got easier. Now I don't even think about it. It's normal…well, for me. My make up is for energy to start in chakra 1, Muladhara chakra, and for it to work up (some people do actually start with their energy up the top, and they need to work down). So healing, shifting and cleansing of chakra 1 commenced.
I am currently working through chakra 2 now…I will write up about my chakra 1 experience shortly so stay tuned!

I did the shivambu thing for about ten years. It got to the point where my urine was clear as water. I left a 500ml cup on the breakfast table one day for five minutes and came back and my partner had drank it thinking it was water. she wasn't too impressed when I told her what it was. She knew I was drinking my urine but was repulsed like most. She couldn't believe it tasted so clear and like water

text: The wheels on the bottom rack of ge dishwasher were falling off after we bought the house Jane W. • Washington, NC • September 19, 2014 My Repair & Advice You must understand that I am a a "mature adult" better known as senior citizen and become frustrated when things don't work correctly. At first, no clue what to do. thought I would need a whole bottom rack which was quite pricey, then I googled GE dishwater parts. Right there in the first listing was Appliance Pro. Thank goodness. I watched the video, got the model number , ordered the parts and in three days I now have a botton dish rack that rolls out correctly. This will put me on the track of Pro Appliances with other rather simple fixes.The videos are a great tool. Was this review helpful to you?

BEULAVILLE – No wonder East Duplin's volleyball team is undefeated. The Panthers have two liberos.
OK, really they only have one – 2012 The Daily News player of the year Carson Williams.
But ask coach Liz Turner exactly how she would define junior Morgan Sanderson's position and you get a quizzical answer.
"It's a very weird position," she said. "She's kind of like a secondary libero, but she actually stays on the court more than Carson because she has to come out in the rotation. Morgan never has to come out. She's kind of like our camouflage libero."
Or, to put it another way, it's like a baseball team having both a left-hander and right-handed pitcher on the mound at the same time.
Or a football team with two middle linebackers.
And while East Duplin has Williams and several big hitters, led by Makayla Byrd and Amber Hall, Sanderson is perhaps the least obvious, but nonetheless key element, in why the Panthers (18-9, 9-0) could polish off an unbeaten regular season tonight when they play host to East Central 2-A Conference foe North Brunswick (2-16, 2-7) on senior night.
"She's one of the only girls that never comes off the floor," Turner said. "She plays all the way around. Games (against teams like perennial 1-A power) Pender, we'd have really struggled without her if she'd been sick or not been there."
And to think, the 16-year-old Sanderson wasn't all that sure about the sport when she first took it up in middle school.
"I was kind of iffy to begin with," she recalled before practice recently. "But after a while I started liking it more. And I weren't going to play in high school, but I tried out and I just loved it."
Sanderson is a two-sport athlete. She plays softball – second base for the Panthers – and volleyball, which she took up as her second sport. Volleyball wasn't easy, she said, but "with a lot of practice, it helped and I got better."
Sanderson, who is in her second year on varsity in volleyball, enjoys both sports, although they are clearly different. Softball is slower, but "you have to think fast," Sanderson said.
And volleyball?
"Volleyball's a lot faster and it's just more intense," she said.
It's also arguably the ultimate team sport for girls, a viewpoint with which Sanderson agreed, saying "probably" no girls' sport requires more communication.
"Even if you're not working together we still have to come together as a team and be able to work through it even if we are behind," she said. "We just have to have a leader on the team and pick someone up if they're down."
And that, Turner said, is one area where Sanderson excels.
"She's a great leader on the floor and off the floor," Turner said. "She's probably one of the most coachable players I've ever coached in my life. You tell her one thing, she's fine. You don't get any disrespect if she's having a good game, bad game."
While Sanderson's position is hard to define given she's all over the court during a match, she calls herself a passer first, and except for a brief time at setter as a freshman that's where she's been during her three years at East Duplin.
But don't ask the soft-spoken Sanderson to evaluate her talents as a volleyball player.
"Um, I'm not very good at that. I think I've come a long way from my freshman year. I was kind of iffy about it to begin with because I wasn't sure I was good or not," she said, "but I feel like I've gotten a lot better. That helps my confidence."
One reason for her improvement, Turner said, is she's worked at it.
"Heart and hustle is the first thing. You tell her what to do fundamentally and she works at it," Turner said. "I remember at the beginning of the season I thought she was doing perfectly fine, but she's that athlete that comes and says, 'Coach, can I come hit some extra (with JVs)? Can I stay after?'
"That's what makes her a better athlete. She goes the extra mile. She goes hard in practice. That's what make her good all-around."
And one reason why East Duplin is on the verge of an undefeated season, which Sanderson attributes to several factors, including how much the Panthers have improved – "We've come a long ways," she said – and how close the players are to each other.
"We have good chemistry on the team. Everyone gets along with everyone. Most time it's broke apart with seniors and juniors, but really we just all come together and have fun together. Everyone is friends with everyone," she said.
While she didn't want to look too far ahead, Sanderson said it was a "big goal" for the team to not only earn a berth in the playoffs – that has long been assured – but a trip to Raleigh and the NCHSAA 2-A finals.
"We've actually talked about winning the championship," Sanderson said. "We talked about that over the summer and how cool it would be and how much fun it would be to just be able to go there."

Those 'aging off' parents' health coverage face a conundrum
Genna Martin / The Herald
Roommates Breanna Finch (left) and Kelcey Hatch, both 25, hang out Thursday and prepare for a garage sale last weekend at their home in Marysville. They will both be "aging off" of their parents' health insurance plans this year and their employers do not provide health insurance.
Hatch now gets health care through her mom's insurance, provided by the Lake Stevens School District. But she will lose it on her birthday, the age at which she's no longer eligible to be included on her mom's health insurance.
"I've always had really good insurance," Hatch said. "It's a really big change."
She plans to graduate in September and hopes to land a job -- one with benefits. But if not, beginning Oct. 1, she and 113,000 other uninsured people in Snohomish County will be able to shop for insurance through the state's new health insurance exchange.
The online service will allow consumers to shop and compare prices and benefits from nine health insurance plans, much like online shopping for new cell phones and cars.
Anyone who doesn't sign up for insurance will pay a fine of $95 per adult and $47.50 per child up to a maximum of $285 for a family.
The fine is included in the federal Affordable Care Act, more commonly called Obamacare, with a goal of encouraging people who don't have insurance to buy it.
Consumers will be able to look at plans grouped into four pricing groups, bronze, silver, gold or platinum.
With cheaper "bronze" plans, consumers will pay less in up front premiums, but more in co-pays and deductibles, the amount paid out of pocket before insurance begins covering some of the costs, said Stephanie Marquis, a spokeswoman for the state's Insurance Commissioner's office.
Individuals making less than $45,960 or families of four making less than $94,200 may qualify for tax credits to help them pay for their health insurance premiums.
The cost for individual health plans won't be posted until Oct. 1, when the online insurance exchange opens. A cost estimator is available on the state Insurance Commissioner's website. The health insurance plans go into effect on Jan. 1.
Beginning next year, businesses with 49 or fewer employees are not required to provide health insurance but could qualify for a tax rebate if they do.
Those with 50 or more employees will have to pay a penalty if they don't offer affordable coverage.
"I think one of the biggest misunderstandings is people who have health insurance seem to be confused they have to do something," Marquis said. "If people have employer-sponsored health insurance, most don't have to do anything."
Individual insurance plans also will be available that aren't listed on the state's insurance exchange, but the state's online site is where people can qualify for a subsidy to help pay for insurance, Marquis said.
The fear that insurance will be too costly is the most common reason given by the uninsured for why they don't have insurance, according to a poll conducted earlier this month by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The poll also shows that 71 percent of adults 26 to 30 say it's important to have insurance, but one quarter of those in this age group says they don't think they need insurance because they're healthy.
Hatch said she worries about how to bridge the gap between the end of July when she no longer has insurance through her mom's plan, her graduation in September, and a hoped-for job after graduation.
"Me and my mom started looking at things," she said. "It's pricey."
But even landing a job might not provide the answer. Her current job as a graphic artist doesn't include health insurance benefits.
"It's like do I find something in the meantime that's somewhat affordable or do I wait and hope that nothing happens in that time frame?" she said.
"It's really hard for somebody who is working and I'm paying for a large portion of school out of my own pocket," Hatch said. "I'm already trying to make ends meet and now there's this other expense."
Her roommate, Breanna Finch, who turns 26 in November, said Hatch recently told her she was considering temporarily going without it.
"I said, 'No, don't, you never, ever, know what will happen,'" Finch said.
At age 18, Finch was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.
She graduated last year from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and currently works for AmeriCorps, a national community service program.
In November, when she no longer has health insurance through her parents' plan and her gig with AmeriCorps is over, she said she hopes to find a job that provides insurance benefits.
"A lot of people my age aren't worked up about it," Finch said of the upcoming mandate of have health insurance.
The experience of a friend underscored what could happen without it, she said. He "aged off" his parent's insurance, but didn't really think much about it. He unexpectedly came down with a difficult-to-diagnose disease and ended up with $9,000 of medical debt, Finch said.
"He was thinking about declaring bankruptcy; he didn't know how to pay it back," Finch said. "People don't realize how important it is until they're sick."

Changes coming
Starting Jan. 1, no adult can be denied health insurance because of a medical problem, sometimes called a pre-existing condition. The rule already is in place for children.

- Outpatient services
- Emergency services
- Hospitalization
- Maternity and newborn care
- Mental health and substance abuse disorders
- Prescription drugs
- Rehabilitative services, such as physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy
- Laboratory services
- Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management
- Pediatric services, including oral and vision care

A very good for a non-studded winter tire. Did not have a chance to really test the this winter as it was rather mild. When it was a little greasy out, these tires preformed great. Handling in all types of snow was great. Slipped at bit while starting on ice and slush but other than that another great tire from Toyo. Tread has worn down a bit more than I would have liked, but as I said it was a mild winter and they ran on bare, dry pavement most of the time.

After quite a bit of research I purchased these tires for my wife's Subaru as she has a 65 km round trip commute each day. Within the first 2 weeks I got a chance to test these tires out as we got a snow storm of about 20 cm. Needless to say, putting these tires on her car just isn't fair to everyone else. By far the best tires we've ever had. Plow through the snow with ease. As long as you remember that they're snow tires not tanks tracks you will be utterly impressed. I have no problem dealing with a slightly noisy tire in exchange for an amazing winter drive.

These wheels light enough for XC, but built for all mountain. They are still laterally still and will give you the confidence to dig into the turns. These wheels will take a beating and keep on going. The wheels have a UST rim and you don't ever have to worry about the tape ever leaking.
One only complaint I have about these wheels, are the valves don't have a removable core. It is not a deal breaker. It is nice to have when adding Stan's. It is a easy fix. Just buy some Stan's valve and you are good to go.

Comments about Easton Haven Carbon 29" Wheel 2014:
The rims on these wheels are amazing, light, stiff, and fast. I did not think the Easton hub is where it should be for such a high cost wheelset. After one ride I noticed the hub had come loose. The engagement is not where other high end wheels are. Finding replacement hubs is nearly impossible because of the spoke count. All in all I think Easton Rims are amazing!! Easton needs to raise the bar on their hubs, maybe partner with someone else in the business.

Isolated gain is the other type of passive solar heat. A solarium or sunroom has a glass wall designed to trap the sun's heat and warm a specific space that is somewhat removed from the main house space. The room will draw in plenty of winter warmth, but is harder to regulate than more traditional windows. They may not be ideal in some hot climates because they get too hot in the summer, and don't offer much of an advantage in the winter.
Passive solar energy can be used without solar panels or other devices. It simply maximizes the sun's winter heat gain and minimizes summer heat loss with windows, walls and floors.

Harlow Swivel Bar Height Bar Stool (30"H seat) 5 5
Well made and upscale I have received 2 of these stools in the gray. Thanks to the other reviewer who gave detail on the color, I thought they would be perfect; and they are. The color is much more of a taupe. I am matching paint to the leather and the closest colors, if you want to see them before you buy, are Benjamin Moore colors 983 (smokey taupe) and 982 (cedar key). The stools are very well made. There is some simple assembly required. Nice feature that they have the memory swivel so they always look neat. They only (very slight) negative is that when you swivel, note that the wood of the chair stays stationary so you have to watch it a bit that you don't bump the wood with your leg. I am ordering two more. March 19, 2013
Great barstools! I ordered this barstool in black leather. I have been searching for stools for five years and finally found one that works! These stools are great quality and very comfortable. I love the swivel function. I was worried about no arms on the stool, but the seat back is quite deep, so you can still relax quite comfortably, despite the lack of arms. If you are looking for a substantial, contemporary stool with clean lines, this is the stool for you. January 27, 2013
Beautiful stools! I had been shopping for over a year for the perfect "classic contemporary" barstool. When I ordered the stool in the gray color I was concerned that it might be too gray. They arrived today and I LOVED the color. It looks like a cream/bone color with a pale gray wash. The perfect neutral color! The quality and workmanship appear good. I am very pleased with these stools. October 25, 2012
Very Disappointed These stools are a perfect example of the need to see things in person and try them out before buying them. I purchased three of these counter-height stools for our extremely long kitchen island. They were so much larger in scale than I expected -- big, bulky, cumbersome and very heavy. I didn't want something light and delicate, but, at the same time, these stools are almost comically heavy and oversized. They're much too wide, and even at our very long island counter, they're a tight fit. They'e also not particularly comfortable. The leather seat is surprisingly not deep (especially given how wide the seat backs are). As a result, you tend to slide forward when seated. Overall, a big disappointment. February 6, 2014
Read Before Ordering Our house is majority Frontgate products and 90% of the items my wife purchases are very nice. We bought 6 of these bar stools for our home and I put them together and was not overly impressed with sturdiness of the stool to begin with. After 60 days I have had to retighten every single screw on the stool and make repairs to two support legs. I am a very handy person so these task where minor for me but if you don't have the ability to repair and maintain these stools on a regular basis I would not order them. The main problem is that the connecting bolts are very poor quality. Most of mine are already stripped out. For the amount of time these stools have been used I am disappointed with them. Don't get me wrong the leather is very nice and durable and I am not the type to complain about much of anything. I will be buying 24 new high quality bolts to attach all of my swivel seats properly. For the price of the stool I just expected better quality. October 31, 2013

Science Action for Conservation & Community
Putting the Museum to Work for Conservation
What began as a small experiment during the Museum's centennial celebration in 1995, has blossomed into a team of scientist-explorers expert in translating museum knowledge into lasting results for conservation and cultural understanding, both in the midst of a great urban center and in the wildest, most remote places on Earth.
The experiment—to bring the Museum's tradition of rigorous science to bear on practical challenges—worked beyond all expectations. In twelve years of work in South America, the efforts of a small core led to the protection of 23 million acres of wilderness in the Amazon headwaters. The return on investment has been enormous: to date, the team's track record is five acres protected per $1 invested in rapid inventories.
In the Chicago region, the Museum leads pioneering collaborations to bring people and nature together, in all their diversity, in the midst of a huge metropolis. Two of these collaborations—Chicago Wilderness and the Chicago Cultural Alliance—have captured the imagination of cities across the country and beyond.

~ Official Star Wars™ voices now available, only on TomTom devices ~
Amsterdam, 4th May 2010 – Get ready to feel the Force – behind the wheel! In association with Lucasfilm Ltd. and VoiceSkins.com TomTom brings official Star Wars voices to TomTom navigation devices for the very first time.
Launching today with Sith Lord Darth Vader, the line-up will continue throughout summer 2010 – with C-3PO arriving in June and Yoda in July. The cast will be complete with Han Solo in August.
"We are thrilled to launch these exclusive Star Wars voices, available only on TomTom devices," says Alain Pakiry, Senior Vice President for Marketing at TomTom. "Now, Star Wars fans around the world can unite their passion for Star Wars with their love of the road, making every drive more personal and exciting."
"The TomTom brand is synonymous with high quality navigation. Star Wars fans are sure to be delighted when they hear just how great these voices sound on their TomTom navigation devices," says Casey Collins, sr. director of international licensing and marketing at Lucas Licensing.
Darth Vader's menacing voice and signature breathing add a thrilling dimension to TomTom GPS voice commands. Incorporating dialogue inspired by the original films, Darth Vader delivers navigation instructions such as: "Bear left, to the dark side. Then in 200 yards you have reached your destination. The Force is with you, but you are not a Jedi yet".
The Darth Vader voice also features original sound effects from the classic films, including lightsaber sounds and TIE fighter flybys. John Williams' unforgettable Imperial March music is embedded into certain sections of the navigation commentary. With such audio temptation, Darth Vader will turn all TomTom drivers to the dark side!
TomTom customers will also be able to download free of charge various official warning alert sounds voiced by Darth Vader, along with free start up screen wallpaper and Lord Vader map icon.
To celebrate the release of the voices, TomTom is launching a unique Star Wars game where fans can also test their allegiance to the Force, to see if they wish to turn to the dark side.
All Star Wars voices will be available in English with further languages available throughout the summer.
Darth Vader's voice is available for download immediately for €9.95.

The photograph we published on my very first blog is of Mr Tony Doxford who grew up at Lindeth Howe as a child and his father purchased the house from Beatrix Potter herself. It is always great to see Mr Doxford return to his family home and tell us the stories of when he lived here many years ago. Also on the picture are Stephen Broughton (Managing Director) and myself.
Well I thought I would update you as to what's happening at Lindeth Howe. The team are deeply involved in the preparation of Christmas. It's very festive here and we are looking forward to a magical Christmas and a celebratory New Year.
In the New Year we close the hotel for a couple of weeks and in this time we are going to have a new refurbished Dining Room which is quite exciting. I am currently in the process of completing a project plan to ensure we complete the refurbishment before we re-open on the 16th January. I will keep you updated as we get closer to January.
Keep an eye out on our website for up and coming offers and news on what's happening soon.

This is a post of my WordPress Complete Tutorial series.
For all tutorials in this series, please visit:
What is Links/Blogrolls
The last thing I want to talk about WordPress.com is: Links. You can see there are some other sections that I didn't mentioned, like Polls, that's because these sections are only available on WordPress.com, you won't find them in your self-hosted WordPress. And they are very easy to understand, just go try out if you're interested. Links are URLs on your blog that you want to share with your readers, for example, if you're blogging about iPhone, you may like to put a link to Apple.com on our blog. Or mostly you can put a link to your friends' blogs. We usually call blog links as Blogrolls.
Add New Links on WordPress.com
It's very easy to deal with links on WordPress. Let's go to the Admin Panel and click on Links section. Here you can find all your links on your blog. By default, WordPress will set up several links to websites related to WordPress. You can delete them if you don't need them any more. Everything looks familiar here, right? It's just the same as the Posts/Pages/Comments sections, so you know how to play with it. Let's try to add a link to my original blog: ZackLive.com Click on Add New under the Links section. This is how we add a new link: Enter the information of the link:
- Name: Link text to display
- Web Address: Link URL
- Description: One line description
Link category can be set under the Links section, or you can directly add a new category here by clicking on Add New Category, it'll be just the same as creating a post category. Target defines how to get to the website of the link – open the link in a new widow or tab(_blank) or in the currant window or tab(_top & _none). The difference between _top and _none is that _top will break all frames(if there is any) and display the page as a top page. That's all we need to set for a new link, if you don't want others to see this link, you can check Keep this link private, and then click on Add Link.
Link Widget
Links will not be showed on our blog automatically, we need to add a Link Widget to our theme to display links. Go to Widgets under Appearance. We've talked about widgets in our earlier post. Find a widget call Links, drag and drop it to Sidebar, you can change the order of widgets. That's all, now refresh the blog to see our new link.
That's all about WordPress.com. From the next post, we'll talk about self-hosted WordPress, you will learn how to install WordPress on your own server.

learning time for our young team.
learning time for our young team.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
How can Harden lay it up over 5 defenders? And continually?
U guys need to give rivers a chance. Its completely obvious he is overt hinking and trying WAY too hard out there. U can tell in his body language that he is PISSED with his slef. As a HORNETS fan, i will stand behind this ROOKIE. Lets not add more pressure on the young guy. I really believe his drive will make him a great player. Give him 2 years and he is a all-star. Yes all-star. I honestly believe that.
True Love
The ****. He misses a lay-up and suddenly Rivers needs to play in the D-League?
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
I'm starting to wish we would have taken Jeremy Lamb over Rivers.
oh my god, 38,5 % shooting, thats disappointing
Monty needs to learn in game adjustment from Pop. He's supposed to be from the school of Pop but I can't say he's learned that part of coaching from him.
we just can not deal with the quickness of harden and lin plus morris and douglas are shooting the lights out for some reason! absolutely disappointing from an defensive perspective, offensively we had a little bit of bad luck but i was most of the time happy with the plays (except roberts forces his own shot). Let´s hope that we can make this into a game in the second half!
Rivers is a rookie, there are going to be days like this. Beal went 1-10 or 11 yesterday. Should he go to the D-League too?
My problem with Rivers is that he is advertised as this great scorer but he cant..., wait for it... SCORE... not only cant he score but boy does he stink up the entire offense while out there... I don't know if you guys forgot, but we desperately needed a scorer in the offseason at the guard position to help take slack off of Gordon and also to keep us in games... Well we wasted a 10th pick on a dude who does none of the above
The difference with Rivers and other lottery pick rookies is that they show flashes of what is to come. I don't See a future all-star in Rivers. He is a marginal player
We need to see more of Davis & Anderson in the post ...especially Anderson . Play through him & instead of having Roberts dribbled the air out of the ball .
It's obvious we can't play the same pick & roll offense when Roberts is in the game ... We trying to make him do something he can't do . Feed Anderson the ball in the post & work off him
^^ Then you are blind. He is able to get to the rim well and has a low turnover percentage. Those are very useful skills for a guard.

First time I saw U2TUnder the Blood Red Sky Tour in Australia was my first concert I ever went to as a 16 year old. I loved it so much I went and bought the album the next week. I still have that album, Under the blood red sky Limited RED vinyl edition. I hope one day I can get it signed. Every time I have seen them since, it gets better and better, For the 360 our i was in the RED zone and it will be one of the best highlights of my life.
25 March, 2011
hearing for the first timeMy first ever cassette tape and the beginning of my love for real music. My eyes opened wide, a grin spread on my face and a thrill of some kind of new awareness ran through me. My appreciation for substantial music lives on with U2 to this day. I'm finally going to see them in Moncton this July. Thrilled, to say the least.

The Green Building Committee is composed of professionals from the Department of Health. You do not need to have a background in environmental science to become a member.
The committee meets once a month. We discuss current opportunities in the workplace related to recycling, ways to reduce and reuse items that we normally throw away, ways that we can conserve energy and natural resources at work, and hazardous substance reduction.
Occasionally, in lieu of a monthly meeting, the committee takes a one-hour tour of a business with green building practices in place to see environmental strides that are being made locally.
Check out the calendar to view meeting times and other events.
If you are unable to attend monthly meetings but would still like to participate in committee discussions, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to the Green Building Committee e-mail group. (nd.gov e-mails only, please!)
