A Religious Campaign for Clean Energy/Water
The NRCCC has initiated a pilot program to demonstrate the ability of religious organizations to promote the use of clean renewable sources of energy.
This campaign has already begun in three states with populations receptive to environmental policy – Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut. Underneath this campaign is the premise that climate change is a moral issue. As religious groups teach the seriousness of climate change, it follows that they must begin to provide solutions through clean energy usage.
Across America there are roughly 350,000 churches, temples and houses of worship plus numerous schools, convents, monasteries, hostels and other facilities, most of which use now rely on dirty forms of energy. The strategy in this campaign is to enlist religious leaders and activists who oversee coalitions concerned about climate change or some aspect of environmental justice and encourage them to promote and demonstrate the value of using clean energy. They will also encourage religious examples of clean energy, and encourage state and national policies that support clean renewable energy. This fits neatly into religious organizations because our national ability to address climate change requires a change of heart and behavior in both individuals and society. By invoking moral and ethical reasons for using clean energy, religious organizations can provide leadership in the challenge to change in the way America fuels its society. The first campaigns are now underway.
The Connecticut Campaign
In Connecticut Rev. Tom Carr and the Interfaith Ecojustice Network initiated their activities with an enthusiastic gathering of over 200 clergy and concerned laity at the Hartford Theological Seminary on November 7, 2013. Many regional religious leaders participated. Together they produced "The Hartford Declaration," which calls for action on climate change by all of Connecticut's religious organizatons.
The authors of this statement declare that a time comes in every generation when citizens must respond to the urgent moral issues that face society. For us, they declare, "That pivotal moment has arrived. We can no longer ignore the plain facts of climate change."
"Earth is increasingly under threat from climate change and global warming," they declare. This is "endangering human beings and other life-forms in all regions of the globe. As a result, recent storms, floods, droughts, wildfires and heat waves have begun to have serious impact on our lives. Continuing increases of these extreme events threatens to destroy the underlying basis of human civilization as we know it." ...
They conclude their statement. "Given the urgency of the current situation, we solemnly pledge to: foster a reflective and prayerful response to... global climate change; live sustainably; encourage people of faith to ... use safe, clean, renewable energy; witness for action on climate change... in the public sphere; and advocate for local, state, national and international policies" and... "enable a swift transition from dependence on fossil fuels to safe, clean, renewable energy."
Next, they plan to take this Hartford Declaration to every house of worship in the state.
The Maryland-DC Campaign
A similar process is beginning in the State of Maryland. Dr. Lise Van Susteren, MD, founder of the Interfaith Moral Action on Climate network (IMAC), has already mobilized a collection of religious and climate change activists to initiate a statewide campaign. The first goal is to awaken Maryland people of faith to the need for lifestyle change and the adoption of clean energy in order to address climate change.
On Saturday, December 7th, 2013 a dozen leaders gathered in the offices of the Chesapeake Climate Network in Takoma Park to develop a plan that will promote clean energy. Mike Tidwell, director of the Chesapeake Climate Action group and an active member of the Presbyterian Church USA, hosted and chaired the meeting. Representatives from a variety of religious and climate action groups attended. These included Interfaith Power and Light for the DC area; the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life; the environmental committee for Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Church; the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers); the Unitarian Universalist Association; the United Methodist Church; and The Sierra Club.
This emerging coalition set goals of reaching all of the Houses of Worship in Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Maryland; bringing them into awareness of the seriousness of the climate problem; and teaching the need to embrace practical solutions, the most obvious of which involves the use of clean renewable energy.
The New Jersey Campaign
Rabbi Larry Troster, one of America's top Jewish theologians, is teaming up with the Rev. Fletcher Harper of the Green Faith organization in New Brunswick to begin their program. They already have a statewide network and will use that foundation to hold their first meeting next week.
For the future other states will develop their own Religious Campaigns for Clean Energy. Dialogue is now taking place to identify those next states.

Google IPO trading imminent

Google opens IPO auction, resolves interview issueAugust 13, 2004
The search giant has asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to declare the registration of its IPO shares effective on Tuesday at 4 p.m. EDT, according to a notice posted on the company's public-offering site.
After the SEC registers the shares, Google will notify investors they have one hour left to submit their bids.
Special coverage
Clouds over Google's IPO
Problems add up as market
debut draws near.
Although Google and its underwriters could price the stock as early as Tuesday night and its shares begin trading Wednesday, a source familiar with the deal said it is not likely to move that fast.
"All indications are: The auction will close late tomorrow afternoon or early evening," said one source familiar with the auction. "Things are on track."
Pricing of the shares, however, is not likely to occur until sometime after the market closes on Wednesday, with the shares trading on the following day, the source said.
Google, which faced a lot of fanfare when it filed for its IPO last April, has now been subjected to criticism and controversy over its handling of the offering.
And while the company has placed a price range of $108 to $135 for the shares, a number of market watchers expect the deal to ultimately price south of that range.
A number of institutional investors are skeptical of the offering and the ability of the stock to move up, once it begins trading. Others, however, are taking a wait-and-see approach before investing in the stock.

A GLIMPSE in an eye might soon be enough to diagnose the nerve damage associated with diabetes.
Up to 50 per cent of people with diabetes experience nerve damage, which in extreme cases leads to the loss of limb sensation, prompting the need for amputation.
Nerve fibre damage is typically assessed through invasive tests, including nerve and tissue biopsies. Now Nathan Efron at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, and colleagues have developed a non-invasive alternative.
Diabetes affects peripheral nerves, but Efron suspected that it might also leave a signature in the cornea - the most densely innervated tissue in the body. He has now shown this is true using a corneal confocal microscope: on average, the corneas of diabetic people with nerve damage have a lower density of nerve fibres, and nerves ...

Four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening stopped by "The Tonight Show" Wednesday (March 5), where she played against host Jimmy Fallon in a rousing game of flip cup, which is the best drinking game ever.

The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has enjoined the Executive Governor of Abia State, Chief Theodore Orji, to reinstate all non-indigenes in the state public service who were sacked by the state government.
In a letter signed by its Secretary-General, Alade Bashir Lawal, the union expressed regret that the state government has refused to reabsorb the sacked employees including Abia women indigenes married to "outsiders" despite pleas by the trade unions, religions leaders, royal fathers, human rights organisations, and other eminent Nigerians.
The union posited that the action of Orji was fundamentally flawed and urged him to reflect on what would happen if all the other 35 state governors decided to follow his footsteps by sacking all non-indigenes in their public services.
It noted that most metropolitan cities in the world were built by people from diverse backgrounds and cultures who converged in such places to create great civilisations and as such the Abia State Government should allow Nigerians including foreigners who wish to contribute towards the development of the State to do so without any hindrances.
Part of the letter reads: "It may well be that advisers to the helmsmen in Abia Government House subscribe to the pervading culture of impunity that is being entrenched in the administration of public affairs in Nigeria in which the "strong leader" must go on with a policy no matter the monumental opposition against it and in spite of its adverse effect on the citizens because to make a detour is tantamount to being a weakling.
"In our view the concept of an infallible leadership which ascribes to itself a transcendental divinity has become obsolete, anachronistic, and stands in direct antithesis to democratic ideals of the 21st century despite the plethora of sycophants cheering the "leader" to carry on," the letter emphasised.
"The union is aware that Abia State indigenes abound in other State Public Services for example Lagos State where a South-Easterner was currently serving second term as the Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget. Your Excellency, Abia is styled as God's own State and we want to believe that in God's vineyard, people are supposed to be happy having life in abundance and not consigned into living with detestable policies that end up making their lives miserable," the Union stressed.

Foundation hopes branding will help with revitalization of a stretch of El Cajon Boulevard in City Heights
His foundation receives sponsorship from major businesses such Wells Fargo, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Valley View Casino, along with grants from nonprofits like the Weingart Foundation.
Vuong has partnered closely with the El Cajon Boulevard Business Improvement Association, which is funded by assessments from the 900 businesses along the corridor from Park Avenue to 54th Street. The association will be able to contribute money for infrastructure improvements and leverage its reputation to obtain grants from other organizations like the San Diego Association of Governments.
Forging identity
The establishment of San Diego's Little Saigon district is timely, said Thuy Vo Dang, lead researcher for the Vietnamese American Oral History Project at the University of California Irvine.
It typically takes 30 to 40 years for a group to reclaim its history and cultural identity, she said. The first generation is typically focused on basic necessities such as clothes, food, housing and education. The second generation is traditionally much more Americanized and focused on straddling the line between two cultural identities, she said.
"By the third generation, you will start to see some social and cultural anxieties about losing your heritage," she said. "So efforts like establishing Little Saigon are efforts to try to inscribe a stronger sense of identity going forward into the third and fourth generation."
For that reason, Vo Dang said, while San Diego's Little Saigon may never look identical to the one in Orange County, it can still be culturally significant. To ensure that, she said, the Little Saigon foundation must meet the needs of the existing community.
Vietnamese immigrants may have suspended many of their differences to establish themselves in the United States, she said, but now San Diego's Vietnamese-American community is well-established, diverse — and fragmented.
"The issue will be how to navigate all of that and bring people together under one goal," Vo Dang said.

I have been hunting Kulm for several years now and want to know if there is anybody renting places to stay there?
We arrive in Kulm Nov. 1st and stay until the 5th. We have one dog and 5-6 guys
In or around Kulm is where we typically stay so if you could help, that would be appreciated.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Highcountrygypsy Great little set. I purchased the brass and am really happy with this set. Just as vibrant as pictured and well constructed. Great little buy. 4.1.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by amccall1 Super cute Perfect mixed and matched or all together. The only issue I had was they're a little cheap almost. One of the jewels was missing from them and I was expecting a heavier metal, just feels like plastic. That being said they do not look at all like plastic in person and look good with basically everything and I love them regardless. 7.23.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lindsey_k good set of bracelets These bracelets are a perfect set together, or wearing just a few at a time. I even mix them with other FP bracelets. The price is reasonable, especially since you get 8 bracelets with it. They seem sturdy (I've had other FP bangles that would easily bend, these do not). And the blue is so vibrant in person! 6.11.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Medieval Great combination! The combination of the bracelets is perfect! Wore it with a matching necklace and it won rave reviews! 6.2.2014

When you hear the names Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Andersen, you instantly think "secrets and lies." But do the misdeeds of these companies represent the modus operandi for leaders today? Are morals in American business deteriorating? I posed this question to 10 business leaders, and they all agreed that business ethics have eroded over the past two decades. Yet these leaders are also unanimous in their belief that American business can retrieve itself from the gutter. They say it is up to each individual to make good ethical decisions. Personal Responsibility -- When Does It Start? It's easy to blame business leaders for corporate transgressions. We stand up and take notice when our retirement accounts are affected, after all. But when should personal responsibility start? In the 2008 Junior Achievement/Deloitte Teen Ethics Survey, 79 percent of teens surveyed said they felt prepared to make ethical decisions when they enter the workforce. However, 38 percent said it is sometimes necessary to cheat, steal, lie or behave violently to succeed. These results would make anyone wonder if, as adults, these students will make the right decisions when they face ethical challenges on the job. It used to be that making decisions in business was pretty simple. All you had to do was ask yourself, "Is this legal? Is this against company policy? Can I sleep at night if I do it?" Then business got more complicated, with the competition to succeed becoming more intense. The gray areas surrounding decisions expanded. Many leaders are now torn between company profits and doing the right thing. They are also torn between doing what is right for the company long-term and what is good for their careers in the short-term.
What Can Ethical Leaders Do? Ethical business leaders will have to take some immediate steps to show employees and stockholders they are honest and determined to do their best for the organization. Each leader must model high ethical standards. In addition, here are 10 more steps you can take right now.
No Magic Potion The University of Missouri has many well-known graduates; two of the more noted are Sam Walton of Wal-Mart and Kenneth Lay of Enron. Their different paths to success remind us that there is no magic formula for keeping your employees honest. As Elizabeth Dole told the Duke University class of 2000, "In the final analysis, it is your moral compass that counts far more than any bank balance, any resume, and yes, any diploma."

"Just Another Man"
He looks in the mirror every morning and night,
Does he see what I see, it would be nice if he might.
He sees a rude man as he stands there,
I see someone who needs someone to care.
He sees a mean man, because he has to be tough,
I see someone who deals with more than enough.
He sees how he tries not to cry and feels he has no heart,
I see someone who has to keep his feelings and work apart.
He sees a murderer because he shot someone last night,
I see someone who saved someone else from a fight.
He sees a failure because he did not arrive in time
I see someone who did his best and needs peace of mind.
He sees just another man as he enters the day,
I see a special man who does his best in every way.
For all the years, he has put on the uniform of blue,
He has never realized how much he protects me and you.
But, as he starts the day again, I just wish he could see,
What he really is and how much he means to you and me.

Forgiving an addict who has left an immense – and perhaps incalculable – trail of destruction in their wake may be one of hardest things for family members and former friends to consider. However, those who are looking for ways to get rid of their anger, hurt and sadness should read the latest blog post from Per Wickstrom, which provides helpful tips on forgiving an addict.
"As someone who has personally struggled with addiction in my youth, I'll be the very first to admit that many innocent bystanders – including family members, friends, colleagues and the list goes on – are often caught up in the whirlwind, and are part of the collateral damage count," commented Per Wickstrom, who in addition to blogging on drug and alcohol abuse and recovery issues, also focuses on topics related to personal development, relationships, health, entrepreneurship, and several others. "And while it may be extremely hard – or perhaps for the moment, impossible – for some people to forgive a recovering or recovered addict, I'm hoping that these tips will help point them in that direction, and let the healing begin."
Per Wickstom's helpful tips on how to forgive an addict include:

I'm pleased that Sunday, September 15th, the RU+A participatory and urban art event will happen here in Porto. The ugly metal shutters that make the street landscape after stores close will be illustrated by fine local artists. There will be visual arts and woodworking workshops for children and the old alike. There will be live music and deejays and street theatre. And there will be beverages, including beer.
Even though the online fundraising fell a bit short, the gals got lucky as a plethora of sponsors came around to help the event happen. Now RU+A only needs a public. If you're around Porto next Sunday, come spend the afternoon in the area between Rua de Cedofeita and Pr. Carlos Alberto. Help them make this event a success!

Changes to Google Local
Changes to Google Local
Over the past few weeks I have noticed Google playing around more with the way it presents the results for location modified searches. Below is an image (you will need to click it to view it in full screen) of 2 Google local searches, both performed on the same browser on the same day.
The left image is the traditional way of displaying Google Local Search Results. I like this display as the 7 pack of results along with the top ad results still leave enough room for the top 3 organic results.
The right image is the new way of displaying Google Local Search Results. As you can see the place pages are not grouped together as they used to be and the organic results are mixed in. I'm not how this works for normal users (i.e. non SEO's) but this annoys me to no end.
I have worked hard over recent months to perfect Google Local Optimisations and feel that this new change is devaluing the work a bit.
What do you think about the changes to the Google Local Search Results?

My husband is a very hard person to surprise with a gift, but with this coat I was able to make his year! The coat is sturdy, but also very soft and comfortable. Great purchase, worth the money.

Solid Jacket and tough sizing
By JP the Pilot
from Atlanta, GA
I do love the jacket now that I've got it even though it has been a process to get it. I had to return it twice because the sizing was not very easy to figure out.
Great product, great customer service

Great jacket, outstanding quality for the price. Completely satisfied.
Birthday gift
By bubukitty
from Newport News, VA
I bought this jacket for my boyfriend's early birthday gift. He is very satisfied with it and said that it's very comfortable. The quality is awesome. We're having a rough winter and this jacket is very warm. He said that he will be visiting the site again to buy other things that we saw in the catalog that came with the order.
Sheepskin bomber jacket
By Bill
from Lake Forest, Illinois
In 2001 I bought a leather jacket in your Yountville store. The sleeves were a little long when I tried on the jacket, the sales person said they could shorten them and ship the jacket once it was altered. I was a little skeptical but have been very happy with the jacket, I still wear it today. Last week I purchased a Sheepskin bomber jacket in your Yountville store and had it shipped to my home in Illinois. I love the look of the jacket, it is comfortable to wear and extremely warm. I am a very satisfied customer and visit your store every time I am in wine country.Thank YouWilliam Inglese
Great Jacket!
By New Yorker
from Long Island, New York
See all my reviews
We live in NY and this jacket arrived just before the bad weather. My husband uses it everyday. It is very warm and flexible. He can move easily and it's very comfortable when driving. He is a size 38 short in a suite and the XS fit him perfectly. The quality of the jacket is worth every penny and the service is excellent. I would recommend this jacket to any guy that wants to be warm and look good too!
Beautiful jacket
By Mont's Baby
from Salt Lake City, UT
I bought two of these jackets: one for my husband and one for his identical twin brother. They're gorgeous. When I ordered them a few years ago, they came with a big, plush hood. My husband loves his jacket and so does his brother. However, the zipper broke on the brother's jacket and he hasn't worn it since because he doesn't know where to take it to get the zipper replaced. I'm hoping to get myself one some day.
Great customer service!
By Ian L.
from Chicago, IL
This is a follow-up post to my 1/5/2015 post about the jacket's quality. My son received his replacement coat a couple of weeks ago, and so far so good. The jacket looks great and is keeping him warm up in Maine.
Well done!
By Gary
from Washington DC
The Sheepskin B-3 Bomber Jacket is exactly as advertised. Warm, well made and great looking. Get's a lot of compliments. As stated, runs a bit large. Comes with custom hanger and storage bag.I'm enjoying the jacket!!!

Sadly, I hope this is just an outlier.
This item was a gift and was an initial hit. However, with just over a week of use, we have found the stitching coming undone in three locations: both pockets; and the left shoulder. I am waiting to hear back from customer service.

Learning to build healthy dating relationships is an important part of being a teenager. As a parent, you play a key role in helping your teenager understand what is healthy - and what isn't - in their relationships with peers. Talking with your teenager about dating relationships may seem like a real challenge.
Keep in mind that your experience is a great resource for your teen.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
If you believe your teen is in an unhealthy relationship, your support can be vital in helping them get through this tough time. Teenagers, like others in abusive relationships, often believe their abuser will get better over time. Unfortunately abusive behavior often gets more violent if the relationship continues in the same pattern. If your teen comes to you for help in a relationship, take the conversation seriously. Help your teen make a plan to keep safe and get help, if necessary.
You can find help for teenager with trained peer advocates at the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233), who are available by phone or by online chat. You may also want to contact a Military OneSource (800-342-9647) consultant who can refer you to someone who can help.

Jorge Luis Borges was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on August 24, 1899. The Borges family lived in Palermo, a neighbourhood at the outskirts of Buenos Aires which was a lower-class suburb historically famous for its cabarets, whorehouses, tango dancers and knife-fights among the compadritos or hoodlums. By the time Borges lived there, the neighbourhood had become less violent but the influence of these characters remained in his works. His father, Jorge Guillermo Borges, was a lawyer and a psychology teacher; his mother, Leonor Acevedo de Borges was a descendent of soldiers, so she kept her house ornamented with family artefacts such as swords, uniforms and portraits of great freedom fighters. Borges' parents spoke and read E…

Amazing guys who happen to be dead
By Tony Hicks
Monday, August 11th, 2008 at 12:55 pm in Uncategorized.
I was sad when the very funny Bernie Mac died — mostly because he won't be around to make people uncomfortable at political fundraisers for Barack Obama anymore. But the real tragedy over the weekend was losing Isaac Hayes.
If someone doesn't come up to you at work today and bark out "Just talking about Shaft," so you can answer "And we can dig it," you need to find a new place to work immediately.
By the way, PLEASE watch this if you want to see Jesse Jackson with a big Afro introducing Hayes at a show in 1973 — and removing Hayes' hat for him.
Music aside (Hayes was a Stax Records house musician who played with Otis Redding and wrote some of Sam and Dave's greatest hits), it's difficult to pinpoint Hayes' greatest moment in a film or TV (though I suppose "Chocolate Salty Balls" on Comedy Central's "South Park" qualifies as music. Did his performance in "I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka," overshadow those chandeliers on the hood of his ride in "Escape From New York?" Probably not, and not many in the history of pimpdom can claim a more "pimp" attitude.
He was the Duke of New York, A-number-one.

(Subtitled: Allowing the Holy Spirit to find lost items for you)
Jesus Did It!
By: Norm & Kathleen Rasmussen
Not long ago my wife, Kathleen, and I was sharing with a group of prisoners in the state prison how the Holy Spirit has helped us find lost items over the years, and how faith-building it is in our prayer lives.
Sometimes I think God allows us to purposely lose personal items just so we can watch God help us find them, and the biggest reason for this is that it reinforces our faith in answered prayer. It also reinforces our belief that God is interested in every detail ľ seemingly insignificant details - of our lives, which includes lost items.
Let me establish the fact that we donĺt try to ôuseö God to help us find lost items without first doing everything we know to do to try to find what is lost. After looking everywhere we can think of where the misplaced item might be ů we then have learned to go to our heavenly Father and ask and trust that Heĺll commission the Holy Spirit to help us find the lost or misplaced item. Weĺre quite sure God wouldnĺt answer our prayer otherwise. God doesnĺt like to be ôusedö frivolously, we donĺt believe.
Having established the above ů I feel itĺs past time for us to start recording these little ôpraise reportsö to publicly give thanks to God for answering our prayers in this fashion, and to maybe be a means to encourage others to do what we have learned God seems to delight in doing -- helping build faith in our prayer and trust lives by finding lost items for us.
Hereĺs the latest ôlost item foundö praise report:
Kathleen misplaced or lost her set of car keys around March 20, 2006. We looked everyplace we could think of, to no avail. We had a few important duplicate keys made, but when I found out how much it would cost to have one of those automatic car door clickers replaced ($19 minimum), I decided to wait awhile and give the Holy Spirit plenty of time to retrieve the car keys.
This may seem very elementary to some, but just in case, letĺs think through something here. The Holy Spirit knows what has happened to every lost item we lose or misplace, correct? All we have to do is get Him to show us where the lost item is, or, bring the lost item back to us somehow, if needed.
According to the balanced Word of God, (the Bible), how do we get God to help us period? We must pray, correct? We must ask in Jesus name, then trust or believe, that He will do the very thing we are asking Him to do for us. (See: Mark 11:24. A side-note to this scripture reference: I believe we need to be very wise in what we are believing God for. I don't believe God is obligated to give us everything we "believe" Him for, especially if it is intertwined with selfishness and/or our limited "human logic - human reasoning" (See: Proverbs 3:5-6), thus this scripture reference in Mark 11:24 is not a formula for getting out of God everything we ask Him for. However ... it is a vitally important spiritual principle, and James 1:5-6 substantiates it).
However ů there is a condition on the above that we must also never overlook. God is not so quick to answer our prayers if they involve selfishness on our part. God does not like reinforcing our lust. Most prayers never get answered the way we would like them answered for three reasons:
1) They are selfish requests.
2) We are not praying according to the guidelines God has given us in His word. (Here's a valuable writing that addresses this more fully: http://www.precious-testimonies.com/Exhortations/p-t/PrayerInsights.htm )
2) We arenĺt patient enough with God in the request being answered, and our impatience cancels them out.
When you lose your set of keys, it involves an additional expense in replacing them. Why spend money you donĺt need to spend having new keys made up if the keys are someplace where they can be found? We donĺt see this as a selfish request, so we were able to pray and trust with confidence that God didnĺt object to our prayer request.
However, by May 29, we both pretty much had resigned ourselves into assuming the keys had somehow been lost on the ground and someone had found them by now but didnĺt know how to get them back to their rightful owner. Thus ľ it was a matter of God doing pretty much a miracle if He wanted to return our car keys.
On May 30, 2006, Kathleen shared this with me shortly after waking up from her nightĺs sleep:
ôI think I had a dream that I found my car keys, but Iĺm not totally sure. I must have had the dream during the middle of the night, which is why I canĺt remember for certain. I donĺt remember any of the details of the dream though, but I just have this feeling that Iĺm going to find my car keys.ö
You have to know that Kathleen does not remember most of her dreams. When she remembers one, trust me, I listen very closely to it, because I figure God might be speaking to her or us, and I donĺt want to miss what God wants to communicate to us, ever.
We got preoccupied and I forgot about what she said about her possible dream. We ended up going to the local YMCA mid-afternoon for exercise. Kathleen was finished exercising and was waiting for me to get out of the locker room. Rather than wait in the lounge, she shared that she wished she had her own set of car keys (I had the only set) so she could go to the car and wait for me there.
In thinking that, the thought came to her that maybe she should examine her gym bag one more time. Maybe I put my car keys in it and somehow overlooked them, she thought to herself.
She had looked through the gym bag before looking for her keys. However, evidently she had forgotten to search an outside pocket. Guess what? There were her car keys, in an outside pocket!
She played cool about it, however. When I got out of the locker room ľ as we started leaving the complex ľ she coolly asked: ôGuess what I just found?ö
At first it didnĺt click, but then I knew what she was going to tell me. She found her car keys! The little smile on her face made my day after she shared it. We both thanked the Lord a number of times for allowing us to find them, BUT ů that just didnĺt seem sufficient enough for me. I felt to write it out so maybe it would help someone else be encouraged to stay patient in waiting on God to answer their prayer.
Salvation for unsaved loved ones comes to mind first and foremost. Lack of finances, and health issues closely follow. Seeing oneĺs ministry call come together is also right up there.
Patience is the one thing Iĺm slowly beginning to realize is what is missing from my own personal prayer life, though God is changing that. Also - understanding the guidelines and adhering to them in The Prayer Of Faith has also paid huge dividends! God could have showed us where those car keys were the day we prayed. That is what I would have preferred. Heĺs done such things in the past for us. Yet he delayed answering the prayer for over two months. WHY? To teach us that we must NEVER be so foolish as to put our OWN time frame on when and how God answers our prayer(s).
The devil would like us to ů of course. He does not want us gaining confidence in our prayer lives.
When you have
misplaced an item, and you have searched high and low for it, rather than just
chock it off as a bad experience ů may we suggest to your asking and trusting God to
lead you to it? God delights in glorifying Himself, please know ů and ľ you
never know how much He may want to strengthen your prayer life as well!

A 16 week marathon training schedule is fairly standard for runners preparing for a marathon. Beginning, intermediate and advanced runners can follow plans that will help them prepare for race day. Following the program to the letter is important to avoid risk of injury, over training and under training. There is also a 16 week half marathon training schedule for runners to follow.
16 Week Marathon Training Schedule Information
It should be noted that training for a marathon is not for beginners. People that have been running 15-20 miles per week for at least 6 months are capable of handling the grueling training schedule that marathon preparation requires. You should be able to run at least 5-6 miles without feeling like you're going to die or pass out. Runners who are not at this level should consider running a 5k, 10k or a half marathon.
The 16 week marathon training schedule for beginning runners will have you training just three to four days a week. You will increase your mileage from around 15 per week all the way up to around at least 35. The biggest key to the 16 week marathon training schedule is to focus on the long run that occurs on the weekend.
The short runs are important because they provide variety and build strength and power, but the long run will prepare your body for the grueling 26.2 mile race.
Runners only train three to four days to allow for adequate rest. One of the cardinal and oft committed sins of marathon training is over doing it and not being at 100% for the race. You'll also want to get tons of sleep – at least 8 hours a night.
16 Week Marathon Training Schedule in Depth
The mileage for the 16 week schedule will look something like this:
- Weeks 1-4 16-19 miles per week
- Weeks 5-8 19-27 miles per week
- Weeks 9-12 25-32 miles per week
- Weeks 13-16 39-8 miles per week (The 16th week has only 8 total miles)
The 15 week marathon training schedule is virtually identical to the 16 week. This training schedule will have you ready to compete in the race at peak physical form.
The 16 week half marathon training schedule is very similar except the miles are cut down by approximately 50%.
At first glance the 16 week marathon training schedule does not look too bad which tempts many beginners to try the 17 week marathon training schedule which adds another 40 total miles. This is not recommended for beginners to try. During the 16 weeks you should also be eating properly and drinking at least one gallon of water on training days and half a gallon on non-training days.

The Bible tells us that Lydia was a businesswoman, a dealer of purple cloth. She must have been successful since, as we see later, her home was large enough to house Paul, his three companions, Lydia's family and servants. The Bible tells us that she was a worshipper of God. She was a gentile who believed in the True God of Israel but had not fully converted to Judaism and she had not yet become a believer in Christ.
Lydia was from the city of Thyatira in the Roman province of Asia which is 20 miles southeast of Pergamum, in the Hellenistic kingdom of Lydia. Her name may not have actually been Lydia. She may be referred to as that because of her hometown. Whatever her real name was, God knew her. She heard the message of Jesus Christ there on the banks of the Gangites River and she became a believer. It was not Paul's dynamic preaching that caused Lydia's conversion even though he may have been dynamic. The Bible says that the Lord opened her heart to respond to the message. Salvation belongs to Him and Him only.
Lydia did not doubt. She did not take time to consider the pros and cons of the message. Her heart was opened and as soon as she believed, she and the members of her household were baptized. Her first act of service was immediate. She asked Paul and his companions to stay at her home. Later we know that Lydia's house had become a meeting place. When Paul and Silas were released from a Roman prison, they went to her house where they met with and encouraged believers.
Lydia's story is found in the Bible in the book of Acts. Look in 16:11 - 15 and 16:40.

Our Baroque Guitar, Sellas, 5-course, Taylor is a 5-course guitar designed by Zachary Taylor , based on the instruments made by Giorgio Sellas. One in particular, which may be seen in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was made in 1627. It was examined and measured for the purpose of producing this representation of this exquisite instrument. Several other great luthiers are associated with this type of instrument including Tielke and Voboam.
Sellas was chosen not only as an excellent maker of this class of instrument but that his designs lent themselves well to relatively low-cost production. Some modifications were made to the original design including the reduction of inlaid decoration, the inclusion of which, if any, made no contribution to the function of the guitar and it might even have been detrimental to the tone and volume it produced. Attention was paid to the basic construction and materials to bring about a faithful representation of this beautiful guitar. The scale length is 660mm. There are 9 nylon and 3 wooden frets. This instrument features an ebony nut and fingerboard, and a spruce soundboard. A hard case is included.
Zachary Taylor is a designer and maker of early stringed instruments. Early in his career as a performer on classical guitar and lute he began to study the creation of representations of early instruments. In his relentless research he endeavours to acquire sufficient information for the construction of examples in the likeness of original instruments. For more than a quarter of a century he has taught the subject of lutherie in the Universities of Suffolk, England and Vigo, Spain and in Colleges including West Dean and Missenden Abbey in England. Major projects include the re-construction of instruments that form the entrance arch to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. is authorship includes many books, including 'Make and Play a Lute' and 'Making early stringed instruments. It is Zachary Taylor's mission to design authentic examples of ancient instruments, accessible to enthusiasts who demand high quality without a high-price tag.

Notes on the Hepburn/Cukor Collaboration & Awards
Theatrical Trailer
Directed by George Cukor, this charming 1933 version of Louisa May Alcott's novel won overwhelming support (plus an Oscar for Best Adaptation Screenplay). It also looks and sounds its best in years via this new digital transfer from restored fine-grain film elements and optical audio tracks. All gawky tomboyishness and spunk, Katherine Hepburn is Jo, the center of the Civil War-era tale of heart and hearth (revisited in 1949 and 1994 versions). "Released during the depths of the Depression, [it] buoyed Americans' spirits. It still does" (The Movie Guide).

Obama encourages vote for 'a Democrat' in Hawaii call
President Obama has recorded this robocall for voters in Hawaii's First District -- where a DNC poll found the President's approval rating at 73% -- encouraging them to vote in the three-way special election May 22.
The call, though, is also a mark of how handcuffed Democrats are in a race that features two Democratic candidates and one Republican. Obama hasn't officially endorsed either -- though the White House considers former Rep. Ed Case the stronger of the two -- and the robocall merely encourages a "crucial" vote for "a Democrat" for help with "our agenda for change."

Mustang MonthlyFeatured Vehicles
1964½ Indy Pace Car Hardtop
Ford Celebrated The Mustang's Selection As The 1964 Indianapolis 500 Pace Car With 200 Special Pace Car Hardtops
Ford aimed for an even split between Checkered Flag and Green Flag winners, but it didn't work out that way. There were ties in some of the sales districts, making it necessary to produce an additional number of Pace Car hardtops with May 1, 1964 (01E) date codes and a DSO code of 84 (Ford Home Office Reserve). It is not known how many additional cars were built.
According to Haskell, 105 dealers won the Checkered Flag contest and were invited to Dearborn for a "Checkered Flag Winners Day" on May 14, 1964. Roughly 85 Green Flag winner cars were shipped to dealers who chose to buy them. Some dealers kept them, while others were promptly sold. Each dealer also received an Indy 500 Pace Car hardtop plastic promo car with the appropriate graphics.
In a sad footnote to the Checkered Flag contest, one of the dealers was killed in a head-on collision while driving his Pace Car home.
Southern California's Steve Grant has always had an interest in the Indy 500 Pace Car Mustangs due to their unique history and rarity. He was thumbing through Hemmings Motor News in June 1996 when he stumbled upon one for sale in Virginia. As luck would have it, he was planning a trip to see his parents in Delaware. He even managed to talk his father into the five-hour drive down to Virginia to check the car out. The Mustang was in pretty good shape for an East Coast car. When Steve checked out all the important details, such as the VIN, color and trim codes, build date, and DSO, he was convinced he'd found one of the hardtops.
Thus began a long journey leading up to a concours restoration. "I'm not mechanically inclined," Steve tells us. "So I had a friend help me get the car running." With a new fuel tank and sending unit, the 260 fired up and ran. A big moment for Steve was when he found "PACE CAR" in the radiator support. He tells us he believes it was put there in grease pencil over bare steel before the paint was applied.
When the restoration process began to outdistance Steve's abilities, he hauled the car to Mustangs & American Classics in Mission Viejo, California, where Monroe Weathers concluded the car needed floors, doors, quarter-panels, and fenders. Although the car had 150,000 miles on its original 260-2V V-8, it had never been apart, making it a solid foundation for rebuilding.
Monroe located new-old-stock sheetmetal and good used doors for Steve's project. John Hesford at Vintage Auto Body in Brea, California, performed all of the bodywork and paint, although Steve had a tough time tracking down Pace Car White, which was ultimately found as DDL-8321 on a Ford color chart.
Steve's Pace Car was one of the Green Flag contest cars. Assembled on April 20, 1964 at the Dearborn assembly plant, it was delivered to Thompson Auto Company in Thomasville, North Carolina. When Steve contacted the dealer in 2002, he was stunned to discover that the car's original salesman, Bennie Link, still worked for the dealership. Bennie remembered the car, telling Steve that it sat in the showroom until November. It was ultimately sold to the owner of a local minor league baseball team for $2,926. Bennie told Steve the buyer did not care for the Indy 500 graphics, asking the dealer to remove them and paint the car Skylight Blue. The car would pass through many owners in North Carolina and Virginia before Steve's purchase in 1996.
Steve's efforts on this car cannot be underestimated, especially considering he is not a mechanic or restorer by nature. So far, the pinnacle for Steve was winning Best of Show at the Fabulous Fords Forever at Knott's Berry Farm in 2003, where he was up against 1,800 other competitors. Steve's success could be written off as beginner's luck, but we don't think so. Steve believes you must be faithful to a car's history and authenticity. And that takes more commitment than luck.
