BaseKit: Highly-Flexible & Web-Based Website Builder (3 Packages Giveaway)
BaseKit, a powerful yet easy-to-use application for building websites online, is giving away 3 Business Packages (1 year term) to WRD readers.
In order to find out more about the stuff in the package and to join this giveaway, make sure you check the bottom of this article.
What is BaseKit?
Creating websites over the web is not something new. But, if you used such tools in the past, you should have experienced that there are usually too many limits forcing users to build websites in a fixed way.
BaseKit comes with a better approach that is flexible on every level and allows users to customize every part of the website but still keeping everything integrated. And, making it simpler for many.
There are 100+ templates (personal and business websites) to choose from with each having lots of ready-to-use color variations which functions as a base for the website and it can be customized/improved as you wish.
The websites are created with a slick drag 'n' drop interface which functions as a true WYSIWYG editor, things look exactly as the output, no surprises.
BaseKit has an impressive set of widgets that can be inserted into web pages. Besides inserting text, images and video, it is possible to place a Google Maps map, in-site search, sitemap, image carousel or commenting into any page with a click.
That's not all, a form builder helps creating any type of custom forms and collecting information. And, social widgets make sure the website is connected with your social profiles with the ability to display Twitter timeline, Flickr photos or RSS feeds (there are "Tweet This" and Facebook "Like" buttons too).
If you need further customization, it lets you to insert site-wide or page-specific scripts and edit the whole HTML-CSS.
BaseKit is an all-in-one package for creating a website meaning it handles hosting and domain management (optional) for you.
Also, one account can control many websites (which is great for web agencies or people with multiple websites) and multiple users can work on the same account. And, it has a multilanguage interface that supports various languages by default.
How to win the licenses?
BaseKit is giving away 3 Business Packages ($168 value/each) which includes:
- Unlimited access to our website builder
- Amazon S3 Hosting
- 1 Free Domain
- E-commerce (Google Check-Out) integration
- £30 Google Adwords voucher
- Premium Support
In order to get a chance to win one of them, simply comment to this article and winners will be selected randomly with the query below on 19 September 2011 (a week later):
SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_id=2459 AND comment_approved=1 AND comment_type='' GROUP BY comment_author_email ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 3
Good luck!

Never heard about it, but from the screens and description it sounds promising. I have been interested in such web apps not because I need to use them for myself or my clients, but to see how well each product can achieve "flexibility" and "usability" when compared to custom made ones. Hope it is one of those.

Past Events: Kid's Summer Challenge
California Pier Fishing!
June 10, 2006
An assortment of saltwater fish, including walleye perch, California scorpionfish, queenfish, yellowfin croakers and shovelnose guitarfish were caught during the event, and anglers earned their first passport stamps in the process. Some youngsters even caught their very first fish at this event, and were given certificates to recognize their accomplishment!
Volunteers from both the DFG's Fishing in the City program and United Anglers of Southern California (UASC) were on hand to provide free rod and reel loaners to all who needed them. "Gulp!" baits (donated by Berkley) and other fresh baits were also provided free of charge to all participants. The DFG's Senior Volunteers helped with handing out the rods and reels and getting the young anglers started, while representatives from the United Pier and Shore Anglers of California taught new anglers some techniques for catching their first fish.
Staff from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were also there with lots of information about ethical fishing, and provided fishing assistance for newcomers. Program sponsor Alpen Optics provided great prizes to registered Summer Challenge anglers!
Click any image to view a larger version. All photos were taken on June 10, 2006, at the Kid's Summer Challenge Event at the Santa Monica Pier.
Next event - Mark your calendars for July 29, when you can join us for some High Sierra trout fishing in Mammoth Lakes. The Kid's Summer Challenge program has joined forces with the annual Children's Fishing Festival at Snow Creek Ponds, where specially planted rainbow trout will provide a real fishing treat! There will be lots of goodies and prizes for all involved. This event is being made possible through partnerships with the Mammoth Lakes Visitors Bureau and the Mammoth Lakes Sport Fishing Association.
The three Kid's Summer Challenge events being held this summer are all "sneak peak" preview events of the full California Fishing Passport program set to officially launch on January 1, 2007.

So, my Crafty Mama projects for February got put on hold while I battled all that illness in our house for the last 3 weeks of the month. Needless to say between Abbey sick, me pretty much dead to the world, and Hubs catching 24 hour versions of everything, I didn't touch my sewing desk from Valentine's Day until the beginning of March.
Crafty Mama- February
March 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I did complete one set of Abbey's knit legwarmers. . .
And Joseph's Mai Tei baby carrier. . .
But the rest of the diapers and Abbey's skirts (already cut out and sitting in the projects cue) are now March Projects. I'm also making Abbey some training panties with PUL lining in March. I'll discuss the reason why in a later post. . . but that's in the works.
We're getting closer and closer to Joseph's due date, so the newborn baby projects are highest on the priority list. . . but I want to have Abbey's big sister gifts ready for her as well. So, I am scheduling as many posts far in advance as I can, and staying away from Facebooking while I catch up with my projects, spend better time with my Abbey, and get back to being social with our friends now that we're well.
It is so much fun, and so much more frugal to be able to sew and knit my own creations for my family. But it does demand time and attention, and when I get behind. . . it drives me crazy!

IS THERE anything that statins can't do? We already know that by sponging cholesterol out of the bloodstream these drugs can alleviate heart disease and diabetes, prevent strokes and even combat viruses. Now it looks as if they might also correct learning difficulties in people with an inherited disease called neurofibromatosis type 1.
The condition, which affects 1 in 4000 people, is caused by a mutation in the NF1 gene. When mice with the same mutation were given statins their learning difficulties vanished. In tests to earn food rewards by following a blinking light, animals with the mutation performed 30 per cent better with statins than without. They also became better at navigating a water maze to reach a platform, even beating normal mice to the target (Current Biology, vol 15, p 1961).
"This is mind-blowing," says team leader Alcino Silva of the University of California, Los Angeles. "We think ...

PRESIDENT Jakaya Kikwete on Tuesday swore in 10 new judges who for the first three months of their appointment will assist with tackling a backlog of cases at the High Court, Land Division.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday shortly after the swearing in ceremony at the State House, Chief Justice Mohamed Chande Othman said that currently the Land Division court has only four judges with 2,200 cases. "The Land Division is swamped with a lot of cases with only four judges, so the 10 newly appointed judges will assist with the cases, for the first three months, before they are deployed to their new working stations," the Chief Justice said.
The judges are Francis Katabazi Mutungi, Patricia Saleh Fikirini, Salvatory Benedikt Bongole, Gerald Alex Ndika, Mathew Muhina Mwaimu, Jacob Mwandegele, Jacquine De Mello, John Samuel Mgetta, Sam Mpaya Rumanyika and Latifa Mansoor. Chief Justice Othman said there is a plan to have more centres for the High Court around the country, and they have started with Lindi and Shinyanga, which will have new High Courts soon.
He said the current appointment brings the number of judges to 85, with 69 at the High Court and 16 at the Court of Appeal. On technology, CJ Othman said the public will soon be able to find out which judge will be presiding over their cases through their mobile phones and access their court proceedings through the internet.
CJ Othman said technology will improve efficiency and effectiveness at the courts, as well as providing rights to those seeking it. To start with he, however, he said that they have started using technology at the High Court and Court of Appeal, noting that there are more than 1,400 courts in the country that will be very expensive to equip, technologically.
"I agree that technology makes the work easier and improves efficiency but there are many courts in the country and it will be very expensive to equip them all, we have started with some divisions at the High Court and Court of Appeal," he added. The new judges expressed their gratitude to President Jakaya Kikwete for the appointments and pledged to work diligently to help ease case backlogs and ensure integrity in their work.

analysisBy Lanre Alfred
Lagos — Chief Ademola Seriki, the Otun Aare of Lagos and the ebullient Minister of State for Interior is the rallying point of many heart warming ideas. And he surrounds himself with some of the brightest minds of this generation who also see him as a prototype of excellence.
Versed in the art of grassroots politicking, and blessed with an uncanny gift to see kilometers ahead of his peers and opponents, the fair-skinned man of means never shies away from saying it as it is. Ademola is never tired of supporting good governance. With a disposition that borders on reticence, one can not but wonder what this genial gentleman is doing in politics; a vocation perceived by many as being replete with intrigues, conspiracy, back stabbing and so on. Blessed with a rich occidental drawl - a spin off of his background, education, exposure and progressiveness - Chief Seriki has a temperament that is both refracted and subdued, depending on what issue he is discussing. Beneath his luxuriant accent however, lies a smoldering fire potent enough to consume the prevailing gerontocracy, and lethal enough to retire itinerant political jobbers traversing the political landscape.
Youthful, but focused on his political future, Demola believes that the future of Nigeria is in its youth. On November 30th is day set aside by this affable gentleman and self-effacing achiever to appreciate the impact he has made in the lives of many Nigerians. As some of the privileged many that have benefitted in no small measure from the benevolence of his heart and sipped from the fountain of his experience would express gratitude and rain eulogy on their unflinching benefactor. In this interview with LANRE ALFRED, he spoke about life at 50 and other sundry issues.
In Asokoro, the more opulent part of Abuja, Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory, where the flora is green and well manicured; where the cars in the driveways are posh and eye-popping; where there are no loiters and loafers, a beautiful, cream duplex stands out amidst a row of equally well-appointed structures. With an exterior that spews elegance without any obscenity, the duplex welcomed a different kind of guest on Wednesday November 4. Inside, expensive incandescent bulbs brightly illuminated the architectural delight. A cool breeze wafted in from the gate we came through. But its natural coolness was nowhere near what buffeted me as I made my way into the building proper. Everywhere was spick-and-span, pristine and burnished, emphasizing without much effort the sheer tastefulness of the owner. Welcome to the home of Ademola Seriki, Minister of State for Interior.
The time was around 8pm. While still prepping myself in readiness for the interview that brought me to Abuja, my host, who had changed into a fitting polo top and jeans that belie his 50 years, invited me over for dinner. Momentarily stunned at his affability and complete absence of the affectations associated with power brokers, I recovered quickly and fell into step beside him as he led me to a table that had been invaded by a sumptuous array of delicacies. We ate in silence but not without occasionally glancing at this man who seemed to be at peace with himself and the people around him. In a few days, the effortlessly good-looking honourable minister would turn 50, I thought to myself, yet he looks fitter than many thirtyish men. "I am at peace with myself. I don't have any health issue to worry about. At 50, I feel fulfilled and accomplished. I am a grandfather courtesy of my daughter that just put to bed in America. My other children are doing fantastically well. Politically, I am on the rise. What more can a man ask for,"? He said as he dug into his meal.
Born in Lagos Island on November 30, 1959, Seriki recalls having an eventful childhood under the watchful eyes of his grandmother who nurtured him to adulthood and actually prepared him for leadership roles. With a faraway look in his eyes, and with his meal temporarily dispensed with, Seriki delved into the story of his childhood; "My mother was about 17 when she gave birth to me and because of her love for education, she had to go back to school. I was left in the care of my grandmother, Alhaja Safurat Keshinro. It was that woman who taught me a lot of the things I know today. I remember that she used to take me to the High Court in Igbosere where she would want me to see lawyers in action because she thought I would make a good lawyer. We were very close; we went everywhere together. I was hardly out of her sight except for when I was in school. Until her death, she was my role model. She was a polyglot, she spoke seven languages. Growing up in Lagos Island was quite interesting and wonderful in those days, I really enjoyed my childhood."
A precocious kid, the young Seriki blazed through primary and secondary schools in flying colours before heading for the Herbert Lehman College of the City University of New York where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Accounting and Management in 1984. While studying for his masters' degree in Accounting as major, with a minor in Finance and Management, the sociable young man was licensed to teach accounting and business mathematics by the New York City Board of Education. He combined his role of a teacher with that of counselor at the prestigious JFK Memorial High School and Walton High School, both in New York. He recalls that prior to the take-off of his teaching career, he worked at the Dollar Dry Dock Bank, New York City as a customer representative cum assistant manager where "I trained various groups on diverse operations process procedures and controls. I also developed and updated procedures manuals on disbursement controls and procedures while equally helping to reconcile bank ledgers for end of day closing." In 1986, after his eventful teaching career, Seriki was headhunted by Koskolowsky and Co. which he eventually joined as its assistant manager, audit. Here, he was saddled with the responsibility of auditing all financial statements of clients; identifying errors and miscalculations of interest schedules and amortization, analysis of short and long-term projects including securities like stocks and bonds.
For every gypsy, no matter the predilection to wander far away, there is always that point when the lure to return home becomes overpowering and unyielding. Seriki got to that point too and he decided to return home after less than a year at Koskolowsky and Co. Now seated in his expansive, elegantly-appointed sitting room, Seriki recalled how painful the decision was to return home. "In fact, it was the singular, most difficult decision I ever took in my life. Many of my friends could not believe that I could leave the certainty of America for the uncertainty of Nigeria. So hard was the decision that my friends who organized a send-forth party in my honour told me that if I found Nigeria unbearable, I was always welcome back to America but I was determined never to go back without making a success of my return to Nigeria. It was a tough decision but I was happy I took it at that time," he said.
The clock chimed 8.30pm but the man of style did not seem to be in much of a hurry. And then he trailed off in reminiscence. On his return to Nigeria, the starry-eyed young man did not meet the Nigeria of his dreams but he was adamant on his resolve not to return to America. Thus, he joined Equity and Trust Finance Company with offices in Marina, Lagos as business manager. He says, "I was in charge of marketing of services and products to present and prospective customers, preparation of call-programmes and development of marketing strategies, preparing customer analysis daily while helping to also implement company's investment goals for long and short term projects among other functions." He was here for five years but his flair for politics had begun to manifest so much that he was visible in political gatherings of the time. It therefore did not come as a surprise when he was appointed chairman of the Lagos State Sports Council in 1992. He was in his early thirties. However, the kind of leadership he brought to bear on the council is still a reference point for successive chairmen. When he signified interest to contest for a senatorial seat, the leadership of the defunct National Republican Convention, NRC, heartily welcomed him and he was made the party's flag bearer for Lagos Central Senatorial district. Though he lost, the experience would prepare him for his political future.
Two years after, Perpetual Associates international (USA) Inc, an international consulting firm to multinational oil and aviation companies based in Rosedale, New York, headhunted the dashing young man to Nigeria and despite putting them off for months, he was prevailed upon to return to America as the company's vice president, investment and operations. The appointment was a different ball game entirely, he confessed, because he had to serve as the company's interface with its European and African clients, two continents he covered extensively on business strategies and initiatives. Unbeknownst to him, the portfolio would become so tasking that he would end up spending another five years shuttling between Nigeria and America. Politically, Seriki did not miss much because those years were the most volatile in the history of the country. In 1998, he contested and won the Lagos Island seat in the Federal House of Representatives under the platform of the defunct UNCP.
However, the sudden death of late General Sani Abacha who midwife the whole electoral process truncated Seriki's dream of being a federal legislator. As a man of diverse parts, he said that he decided to focus his attention on PIFCO Nigeria limited where he was executive director, business development and marketing. Though not completely far away from political circles, Seriki was at PIFCO between 1999 and 2007.
Significantly, there are many days in the life of a man that remain epochal and symbolic throughout their lifetime, October 24, 1990 was one for Seriki. That was the day his 48-year-old mother, Alhaja Ramota Aduke Seriki died and it burrowed a hole that has refused to heal in his heart. On October 24, 2007, he was appointed Minister of State, Agriculture and Water Resources. Precisely a year later, he was redeployed to the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development as supervising minister before being moved to the Ministry of Defence where he shone luminously. On his late mother's birthday, May 23rd, she was made the Otun Aare of Lagos by the well-venerated Oba Rilwan Akiolu. What a coincidence! What are the attributes that have sustained him as a politician? Looking at his expensive timepiece perhaps because the chitchat had taken longer than he envisaged, he looked up with a narrow look in his eyes and said, "For me it is patience and resilience. More importantly, never look down on anybody. This is one virtue that has sustained me over the years and it is worth emulating because the person you are looking down on today might end up being the one that would help you tomorrow." At 50 and with so much to thank God for, Seriki said the down side of his golden jubilee is that he can no longer exert himself at some activities the way he used to but he confessed that he has become a better family man and a better human being. On his plans for the future, he said, "Only God would decide."

Alexandria near IssusQ174341
Alexandria near Issus: town, founded by Alexander the Great or one of his Successors, modern Iskenderun.
The identification of this city with modern Iskenderun is certain and the oldest archaeological remains appear to date back to the last quarter of the fourth century BC. Still, it is a bit troubling that our sources do not mention that Alexander ordered the construction of this city. It may have been founded by one of the Successors.
Alexandria was a successful city that soon eclipsed nearby Issus, which was abandoned before 50 BCE. The nearest remaining competitor was Seleucia, the port of Antioch; both cities were founded by Seleucus I Nicator. In the first year of the Laodicean (or Third Syrian) War (246-241), Seleucia was captured by the Ptolemaic king Ptolemy III Euergetess, while Antioch remained in Seleucid hands. This offered a boost to Alexandria, but when Seleucia was reconquered in 219 by Antiochus III the Great, it soon eclipsed its rival.
A satellite photo of Iskenderun can be seen here.

The third color for Chanel Fall 2013 is Chanel Elixir, a medium rose ($27). Elixir has a touch of subtle warmth and a bit of beige which gives the color a slight touch of Chanel sophistication.
The third color for Chanel Fall 2013 is Chanel Elixir, a medium rose ($27). Elixir has a touch of subtle warmth and a bit of beige which gives the color a slight touch of Chanel sophistication.
I've had a few requests to compare Chanel Mysterious nail polish (reviewed here) with Chanel Vertigo. As you can see, they are quite close. Mysterious has a touch more olive/yellow in the mix and is a whisper lighter in tone.
I've also had requests to swatch Chanel Alchimie (reviewed here) against Chanel Peridot and Diwali. I've thrown Chanel Graphite into the mix as well. As you can see, the color and texture of these is quite different.
For me, the standouts of Chanel Summer 2013 were the nail polishes. This collection includes Lilis (soft coral creme), Azure (shimmering blue-green) and Bel-Argus (shimmering ocean blue) ($27 each).
These three incredible shades have incredible formulas, gorgeous color, and each bottle has its own twist in on-trend perfection. Just my opinion, but yes you need these.
Azure is a metallic blue green. Perfect in two coats, this gave me no streaking and looks as gorgeous as a peacock feather.
I applied this directly on my nail (no base) and got no staining. Quick dry time. All nails swatches in this post use a topcoat (Dior Gel Coat):
Bel-Argus is a beautiful rich metallic blue.
As with Azure, this is perfect in two coats. No staining without a base. Quick dry time. No streaks.
This color reminds me of going to the beach–it looks wonderful with corals, yellows, and khaki. I love to wear it with a crisp white shirt.
Lilis has been my go-to this week. It's a standout reddened coral creme that looks amazing with either pale or tanned skin.
Lilis isn't quite as vibrant as some corals, there's a polished appropriateness about it, as the color seems softened by a touch of white. Unquestionably, it's work appropriate and lovely for summer.
Chanel does a killer creme formula (they have for decades), and Lilis is part of that tradition. Perfect in two coats, fast-drying.
Verdict: gorgeous! I loved every one of these.

Chanel Spring 2013 brings three new Le Vernis nail colors ($26 each)– Emprise (#569), Fracas (#571) and Accessoire (#573). This is a pleasant spring collection of pretty, wear-everywhere colors. However, some Chanel fans may feel that this collection has a familiar feel.
First, is a pearly pink nude Emprise. One very carefully-applied coat gives a sheer, shimmery effect. This is two coats with Chanel Reflet de Laque High Gloss Top Coat.
Some women will find Chanel Emprise hits a very sophisticated sweet spot. This subtle shell pink shade is very Chanel, and looks breathtaking when wearing almost anything, even black. Here are comparisons with Rescue Beauty Lounge Om, Chanel Rose Jade, and Chanel Beige:
Rescue Beauty Lounge Om is a cream texture which builds to opacity far more quickly. Both Chanel Rose and Chanel Beige have the very same sheer texture as Chanel Emprise–it takes some work to build to opacity if that is the look that you would like to achieve.
Chanel Fracas is a very warm pink. The color reminds me of Chanel Joues Contraste Blush in Tea Rose in its very proper feel. Chanel Fracas is unquestionably a work-appropriate color (and honestly, the color will work almost anywhere).
Chanel Fracas has a very subtle hot pink pearl that shows up in full sun. Here, with Chanel's Haute Reflect top coat:
Although when viewed in isolation Chanel Fracas looks l like a hot pink, it is quite warm. Here's a comparison with a true hot pink, Nars Schiap:
Finally, my favorite of this collection–Chanel Accessoire. This is another extraordinary vampy color that is so striking, yet still works almost anywhere.
There's a slight brown tint to Chanel Accessoire. Although it is not a traditional Spring color, I find colors like Accessoire very refreshing and beautiful. It looks amazing with a shiny topcoat, here Chanel Reflet de Laque:
Chanel Accessoire has some very close cousins. It is more brown that Chanel Rouge Noir, and less purple/violet than Dior Mystic Violine. Chanel Accessoire is just a shade lighter than Chanel Madness (you probably don't need both if you have a good stock of Madness).
Overall, I found this a nice, well-rounded and crowd-pleasing collection of shades for Spring 2013. If you would like to shave a bit off your total, I would recommend skipping Emprise–it's a little challenging to apply smoothly. On some skin tones, a light nude like Emprise can gives one's hands a reddish appearance.
Francas has a good formulation and I liked the little bit of pearl. It's a safe bet, although I couldn't swear that it's entirely unique among other brands.
I love, love, love, Accessoire. The formula is perfect, and it just looks really amazing when applied. I do go through these bottles to their very end, so it made sense for me to get this newest version. However, as these comparisons show, Accessoire it is not a unique shade.
The Beauty Look Book's review is here. These are available at Nordstrom.com (with free ship) here.

Chanel Le Vernis nail polish in Rouge Carat ($25 /#587) released for Holiday 2011 is a festive rich red infused with fuchsia sparkle.
As Chanel polishes go, Rouge Carat is one of the "good" formulations (meaning superb). It gives a smooth, even, completely opaque coat of color with a single coat, although I prefer to give two coats just to spread the gorgeous texture and give a completely smooth appearance.
Chanel Rouge Carat is a beautiful classic color, although perhaps not one that is entirely unique. Unlike some of the taupe, greens and blues that we've seen from Chanel lately, Rouge Carat is a rich, traditional color that is Holiday appropriate.
The sparkle is noticeable at close inspection in sunlight, although the color is entirely work (and party) appropriate:
Here is a comparison with numerous other reds in my collection, showing that Chanel Rouge Carat bears some resemblance to Chanel Shanghai Red and OPI Thanks So Muchness (click to enlarge):
Also pictured here are OPI Big Apple Red, Rescue Beauty Lounge Chinoise, Dior Trafalgar, Chanel Dragon, Chanel Rouge Fatale, and Dior Gruau.
Overall, the formula of Rouge Carat makes it worth the price to me. Although not a terribly unique color, I love a polish that gives a gorgeous glossy, pigmented color in a single coat. Having said that, I don't think that Chanel Rouge Carat is a 'back-up worthy' color. Although it's a beautiful color, I'm more likely to reach for the classic Chanel Dragon (which long ago stole my heart as my favorite Chanel red).

Every Kid's Week. This book proved transformative to
children's ministry thinking in that it challenged the status quo
of babysitting kids.
Sue's focus is on engaging children in learning and worship. Today
she works alongside Reggie Joiner at the ReThink Group and Orange
developing preschool curriculum and training, equipping, and
inspiring children's ministry leaders and volunteers.
"God is going to use us and these kids' parents to bring kids
across the line of faith on our watch," says Sue.
author, lead faculty
Denise began her work in children's ministry in 1983 as a
director of Christian education and hasn't looked back. Over the
course of nearly 30 years, she has worked in churches, taught in
colleges and seminaries, written articles, and presented at
seminars and workshops.
She has served as director and lead faculty in children's and
family ministry at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her
focus has been on multiplying her knowledge, gifts, and skills by
educating and equipping others. She does this through Bethel with
formal and informal education, and online networking with
children's ministers and recent graduates.
Looking forward, her goal is to stay the course-to continue
equipping leaders for children's and family ministry as well as to
integrate the two ministries to impact not only the child, but also
the entire family.
authors, founder and president and chief creative officer of
Thom and Joani have worked together for more than two decades to
revolutionize Christian education through relational, experiential,
applicable, and learner-based (R.E.A.L.) education. Since Thom
founded Group in
1974, the company has developed nine different curricula for
children's ministry, four magazines, annual vacation Bible school
materials, and hundreds of resources for leadership training. Under
Thom and Joani's leadership, the children's ministry resources
developed at Group touch millions of lives each week.
They say their greatest desire in ministry is "that children and
children's ministry leaders truly experience the transforming love
of Jesus because of our resources. Lives are changed. Incredible
things continue to happen."
Pat may be best known for "My Family's Prayer Calendar," which
she wrote with Shirley Dobson. But in the past decade she's also
become a true champion of ministry to children with special
Pat's years of experience as a teacher, school administrator, and
children's pastor uniquely equipped her to develop resources and
curriculum for children with special needs for the widely respected
Joni and Friends ministry. Pat has been instrumental in the
first-of-its-kind Joni and Friends Certification in Disability
Ministry program.
Pat has translated her passion for ministry to these special
children into ministry resources. She created the Special Needs
Smart Pages resource and wrote Special Needs-Special
Ministry. She's the columnist covering special needs for
Children's Ministry Magazine, and she wrote "Autism and the Church"
for the book Life in the Balance: Biblical Answers for Issues
of Our Day.
Gordon and Becki West
Long considered two of the most wise and unwavering voices in
ministry, Gordon and Becki have worked diligently to train leaders
and volunteers with practical advice. They're the founders of Kidz at Heart
International, an organization that trains and equips leaders
and volunteers around the world to teach children about Jesus
within their own culture.
Over the past 20 years, Gordon and Becki have also trained over
100,000 moms, dads, and teachers on how to more effectively
minister to their own children and students. They co-wrote
Dynamic Preteen Ministry, touching on an area of ministry
that hadn't received much attention prior to the book's arrival.
They've also served as the columnists on discipline for Children's
Ministry Magazine.
With their ministry, Gordon and Becki hope to cast greater global
vision for children's ministry; to encourage and equip those
involved in children's ministry; and to articulate a clear
philosophy of children's ministry based on God's love for children
and our knowledge of how children learn and grow.
author, next generation associate pastor, and founder of Jim
Wideman Ministries
Jim has long been one of the most influential forces driving
children's ministry to the forefront of the church nationwide. His
hallmark focus on leading volunteers and staff has made him a
sought-after author, consultant, and speaker.
Jim is a pioneer whose contributions to children's ministry
discussions have been important and relevant through over more than
30 years of ministry. In addition to training and equipping
seasoned children's ministry workers, he's passionate about
partnering with newer children's ministers by giving them free
admission to his monthly Children's Ministers Leadership Club where
he offers advice and counsel. Jim also created Infuse, a 6-month
coaching and mentoring program for new children's ministers.
Over 20 years, Christine has created training for 200,000
children's ministers. She leads the charge at Children's Ministry
Magazine and serves as the voice of children's ministry at Group.
She's written 10 books and developed Grapple Preteen and Buzz curricula.
She oversees children's ministry resources at Group.
Christine speaks across the U.S. on training, equipping, and
celebrating children's ministry. Her "From the Editor" letters,
blog, and social media efforts keep leaders up on trends and her
ministry insights.
Her ultimate desire: "I hope people will see me as someone who's
connected them with one another, best practices, and creative
ideas-and ultimately made their job of partnering with God to
transform children's lives easier."

Film Session: Breaking Down the Jaguars Defense
It's up at Big Cat Country this week.
Announcers and analysts often talk about coaches "scripting" out their first 10-15 plays, but fail to elaborate why. It has everything to do with "tendencies" – distinct playcalling or decision-making patterns that can be tracked through detailed playcharting. It's how you figure out whether a team will run or pass out of a certain formation, what their go-to play is on 3rd and medium, or what protection the offense is likely to use with a particular personnel grouping so you can get a blitz with a free rusher. Conversely, offenses can pick up on what fronts, run fits, sub-packages, and coverages a defense will use against certain formations and personnel groupings. Figuring out these tendencies is what coaches spend all their time breaking down film and charting plays for.

Guidance & Support Tools
Published: Mar 31, 2003
IEP 2 - Towards Competent Professional Accountants
This Paper suggests that one of the objectives of the competence-based approach should be to link accounting curriculums more closely with workplace requirements. By analyzing workplace roles, professional bodies can then work backwards to determine the knowledge and other capabilities that those roles are based on. Thus, a competence-based approach can inform education and training systems of the relevant knowledge and capabilities expected. Accounting curriculums can be updated by regularly reviewing workplace requirements and then determining the revisions needed to meet the new requirements, thus helping to ensure that the knowledge and other capabilities remain relevant.

Dem boys in Black 'n Gold squashed dem birdies from Balteemore last week, youbetcha! It was a game for da ages. Big Ben yooked pretty good and hasn't thrown a pick for four games now. The Ravens did manage to knock him on his dupa a couple a times, but when it caunted he got that pill to Santonio. Everyone is nebbin araund abaut Hineses health since he rolled up dat knee, they outta yeave him be, he'll be ought der Sundy, you can bookit. I yove da way Troy zips around dat field with da ball,Yoi! He's one of da best I've ever seen and I've seen a yot over da years.
So here we are, kiddies, Super Bowl 43. I remember the great teams of the 70s and their runs, and I gotta tell ya, dis team is poised to join em as one of the best defenses to raise dat Yombardi.
I gotta comment on an incident earlier dis week. Da Arizona Cardinals (who I wasn't sure even were in da yeague anymore) saw fit to disgrace my Towel, as you can see. Now, I'm a genery even tempered man, especially from my vantage point up here in the big Cabana in da sky, but dis really steamed my clams! Do they know what happened to da Bungles when dey did dis a few years ago?
Dem boys dawn in Tennesee ain't won since dey stomped on it! I dink it's high time dey yook into what a valuable ding the Towel is, how it helps others. It's a beacon to Steeler Nation! Hmm-hah! I would dink they wouldn't wanna do anything to make der job tougher, Sundy.
Okel Dokel, onto Cope's "Key Matchups":
1) Passing Attacks vs. Secondaries: Everyone is makin a bid deal about the Cards' Yarry Fitz, and dats true, but their pass defense is 29th in the yeague. Feh. Dis game'll be more abaut first dawns den yong bombs.
2) Scrambling QBs: Deez quarterbacks are probably da two best at feeling pressure. And Warner's gonna need it, cuz he's gonna feel more than my prostate, Sundy. If he can fire it aught before Woodley, Harrison, Farrior and dem can get to him, watch aught.
3) Ground Attacks: Da Cards don't really have a running game unless dey can jump start James or Hightower, but if Willie can get aught der and rip off a few earlier, watch aught! Also, yook for Mewelde to take a few dumps aughtta da backfield.
4) Pressure vs. Performance: Da Stillers were here 3 years ago (and so was I), but only a handful of fellas from the Cards have been, can Warner lead dem where dey need to go?
Da Cope-ra-scope was dialed in again, yast week. This week's prediction: 29-17, Stillers. Go aught der and win one for me, boys. God, I miss yah.
Bye now.

The sleek, compact SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 System sounds tremendous with movies, thanks in large part to its potent subwoofer, but lacks warmth with music.
With its lightweight storage and reliance on the cloud, the Toshiba Satellite CL10-B is like a tablet with a keyboard stuck on.
Pricing not available
Toshiba takes a solid premium 15-inch laptop and adds a great-looking 4K touchscreen while keeping the price reasonable. But at this point, it's mostly for bragging rights or early adopters.
The Yoga-like Radius has a 15.6-inch 1080p display, making it one of the biggest hybrids around.
New two-in-one hybrids offer 13-inch screens and slim designs for under $600 or more than $1,000.
By attempting to shoehorn an affordable 13-inch laptop-tablet into a crowded market, the Toshiba Satellite Click ends up as a compromised, underperforming mess.
The Toshiba Satellite S55t-A5277 comes close to being a great mainstream slim gaming laptop, but it's undone by an unimpressive display.
While it's not going to dazzle anyone, the Toshiba Satellite U845T is a great example of exactly how much laptop $799 should buy in 2013.
The European Space Agency's new Earth-gazing satellite's first images from space make our planet look like a technicolor wonderland.
Toshiba's experimental extra-wide-screen ultrabook gets a Windows 8 software upgrade, but it turns the Toshiba Satellite U845W into a computer imperfectly matched for what Windows 8 has to offer.

This part is the funniest and strongest in the show. The staging — which suggests the fragmented family as parents in bed lie at opposite ends of the stage — and a lovely performance from Aimee-Ffion Edwards as the precocious Olga — whose sexuality has quickly become mistress of her childish self — could have made this a cracker of a play.
Alas. It is not to be, because what takes over our quirky coming-of-age drama is a dramatic story of pyromania and some sort of quest for our two teenagers to experience life through pushing boundaries (lighting fires, enjoying nearly getting burned alive). Kurt (Rupert Simonian) transforms from spotty, petulant teenage boy into crazed burner of buildings, sweeping his corruptible sister with him. There's a gleefully hilarious incest story which derives its comedy from its very serious presentation about a frankly (we hope) ridiculous scenario where brother and sister explore sexuality a bit too closely together. There's some confident stage nudity – no mere flashes but brazen standing on the stage for hours completely au naturel (we gave William Postlethwaite's Paul extra applause for this brave feat) and some poetical stuff about birth being a trauma, all the blood and guts and amnesia of the whole thing happening.
But despite this eye catching material, of flames, nudity, incest, birth and death, the most arresting and articulate scenes about human experience are the ones with the dysfunctional family at the start. The sparks that fly need not be literal ones. Fireface tries to burn too brightly and its gems get forgotten in the rubble.
Fireface is on at the Young Vic until the 20 October. Tickets £12.50

Nissan records highest market share in Lebanon in 2006
Nissan Middle East recently announced, in partnership with Rasamny-Younis Motor Co. SAL (RYMCO), exclusive dealer of Nissan in Lebanon, its market share leadership across all motoring segments in Lebanon for last year, leading the market with a total of 14% market share, registering total sales of over 2000 units.
The growth indicates the leadership of the Nissan brand in the passenger vehicles, holding the number one position amongst all brands in the Lebanese market.

RYMCO provides the Lebanese market with the full lineup of Nissan vehicles, including the Nissan Patrol, Armada, Pathfinder, Murano and X-Trail SUV's, in addition to the Nissan Altima, TIIDA, Micra, Sunny and 350Z.

2. Minutes of the last regular meeting were approved. Minutes of the special meeting January 17, 2012, were approved as amended. "A library bank account has been established for building a library building at Roanoke" replaces the sentence "A bank account has been established by Martin for covering costs associated with building a new library at Roanoke." We also corrected the January 17, 2012, minutes to read Buhr was absent, not present.
3. Public comments: Mr. Hopkinson invited Library Board members and the architectural firm of PS Dewberry to attend the Thursday night Germantown Hills Board meeting. Paul Kouri plans to attend the Germantown Hills meeting as do members Buhr and Pugh. The Germantown Hills meeting is at 6 PM February 9, 2012, and the Library Board special meeting for public input is at 7 PM February 9, 2012.
4. Action items:
A. Kramer moved and Pugh seconded a motion that we accept the Germantown Hills Contracts with Architect as amended. The motion passed and Stan Rush signed the $19,800 contract for planning and design of Germantown Hills library.
B. Construction Grants – Grant Fredrickson spoke with Mark Shaeffer who says we are allowed to make more than one grant application but we are then competing with ourselves. Frederickson explained the five priorities for the grant. We discussed the Roanoke and Germantown Hills library grants.
C. Pugh moved that we sign the Contract with Architect for the Roanoke Library building but the motion received no second and the motion died.
D. We discussed construction on Roanoke and Germantown Hills libraries.
E. Grant received a request that we sell the pictures (prints and perhaps two original art works) at Spring Bay. Buhr moved and Kramer seconded that Grant take the lead and sell the pictures at his discretion. The motion passed.
F. We discussed the Feb. 9 public meeting and hope for a good attendance from the Germantown Hills community.
G. We approved Grant pursuing Funds for Libraries and ILA membership.
5. Policy Review was tabled.
6. Kramer moved and Pugh seconded approval of bills and requisitions which passed.
7. Future agendas must include Roanoke Library. Concern was expressed at any Board Members not attending meetings.
8. Meeting adjourned at 5:40 PM
Future Meetings:
The next regular meeting will be Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 4 pm at the Metamora Branch Library, 208 E. Partridge Street, Metamora, IL 61548.

In one week, after a few more days in Athens and a short stay in Dublin, I'll will be back on U.S. soil. More than 5 1/2 months of living abroad seems to have stretched out for much longer this time. For me, spending time in a new place (3 months in Spain, 2 months in Croatia) really opened up the opportunity for revelation – not just knowing a city without a map, or learning a few words in the local language, but it's really the unique and wonderful people that time allows you to connect with. Each and every place continues to show me how we all are inexplicably linked together by so many common threads – and to be there long enough to let these truths naturally unearth (more…)

A broad bean (aka Bob in Croatian) is an ancient ingredient which fed families along the Dalmatian coast and inland for centuries, long before corn was brought there, and recently it was perhaps unfairly forgotten and neglected from daily nutrition. For that reason, this vegetable has a day dedicated to its reintroduction with a modern twist. Perhaps the greatest gourmet event in city of Kaštela, Croatia, the traditional festival of the broad bean – "Fešta o boba" will give your taste buds something all together different to try.

right at the beginning to detect the capacity, which it then asks
the drive about and believes the drive.
The important thing is some BIOSes crash when a drive that is
"too large" is auto-detected. So on some BIOSes you need to tell it
that there is no drive attached, or manually tell it the size is
something much smaller than it really is.
- So have you tried booting Linux on that machine?
- Does the BIOS hang when you try to detect the drive size, or just
mis-report the drive size?
