How big is "Big Oil" (picture intensive)
As some of you may know I drive a supply vessel in the Gulf of Mexico for a living. The time standing by offshore often turns into deep thinking for me and this morning while I was coming into port the general scale of things really struck me. I'm not sure many American's realize the size of the equipment and facilitys never mind the oilfeild itself.
This is where one of my hobbies, photography, comes in. In the past year in the gulf I have taken nearly 900 photos of stuff that I think is cool. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the weather, platforms, vessels of all kinds. I hope you all enjoy and get a feel for the amazing equipment I find myself taking for granted.
This first picture is the Brutus platform. It is a floating production platform that is called a TLP, or tension leg platform. To get an idea for size, the supply vessel Hannah Chouest along side is 280' long.
This is another TLP called Shenzi, my vessel occasionally services it. These two photos were taken from ranges of 75 and 200 meters from the wheelhouse of my vessel about 35' above the water.
Here is another of the Brutus with the 260' Stim Star III at a close standby
This is a 200,000 pound wellhead being lifted up to the rig off my deck, notice the size of my deckhands.
The rig I normally service, Developmental Driller One, with the crew boat Fast Skipper in the foreground. Photo taken from 500 meters.
We are about 30 meters off the drillship CR Luigs in this picture with the 280' Harvey Carrier sterned up to the forward crane.
The Developmental Driller One with the well stimulation vessel BJ Blue Dolphin sterned up to them. She is about 320' long
Here in fourchon is the fist of the true "big boats" the Akira Chouest. She is every bit of 320' long and sitting almost entirely inside Shell's shed at slip nine in C-Port Two.
Rig anchor chain being lifted for storage at Fourchon heavy lift
Tetra Hedon, one of the largest floating pedestal cranes in the world. The crew boat tied up to its stern is about 100' long
Even with how huge all of this stuff is, things can still seem pretty small when viewed from certian angles.
Cool photos! That looks like a fun job.
super cool pictures! i really enjoyed looking at these.
Dude, Those chains the guys are standing next to about halfway down look like they are 3-4 feet long! I watched this cool video of a helicopter landing on one, I'll see if I can find it again. That thing look like 3 mini Kowloon Walled Cities tied together!
My jaw dropped when I saw the size of the chain. I didn't realize how massive oil drilling machines are.
Awesome pictures. Educational too!
Great pictures! I lived in Galveston for a while and can remember how big all of that equipment was. I haven't seen any of that stuff in years. Thanks for sharing!!
awesome pictures! Leaving near the St. Lawrence seaway I have seen many freighters and tankers traveling the river.
These ships are huge and seeing them dwarfed by that rig really puts them in perspective, to just how massive that oil rig is.
Very cool. Who does the security for those rigs? Can you get me a name of the company possibly?
That chain is intense! Really great photos!

Sugar Land Ice & Sports CenterRead MoreThe Sugar Land Ice & Sports Center conceals a chilly oasis for winter-sports fans to practice and have fun all year long, whether it's the day after Christmas or a steamy 100-degree afternoon in July. Between its two rinks, the center hosts staff-supervised public-skating sessions nearly every day in addition to a wide range of youth and adult hockey events—including practices for the former AHL champion Houston Aeros. Inside Rink A, a spacious seating area and café invites visitors to break from their icy escapades and reenergize with a snack. Also away from the ice, the onsite pro shop sharpens blades and repairs skates so clients can carve their way across rinks and the halls of imposing ice castles.16225 Lexington Blvd.Sugar Land, TX US
The Ice at Discovery GreenRead MoreThis 12-acre park offers tons of activities year-round. From spring to fall, children play in interactive fountains, local musicians light up the amphitheater, public art exhibits entice the eye, and dog runs fill up with panting tongues. In winter, the park's one-acre lake transforms into a skating rink that's open to the public for a small fee.1500 McKinney StHouston, TX US
Ice Skate USARead MoreMemorial City Mall's chirping cash registers and department-store scanners give way to the scraping of blades against ice inside Ice Skate USA. There, a full-sized rink large enough to host official IHL and NHL games reinvigorates bodies worn from shopping by imparting the freedom and fun of uninhibited speed during open-skate sessions. The rink also keeps a squad of instructors on hand who host hockey academies to sharpen everything from basic skating skills to puck control to discerning between team mascots and roving packs of wolves. Additionally, Ice Skate USA also works to expand the community's appreciation for ice-bound culture during scheduled events such as The Nutcracker on Ice, with try-outs for the production encouraged for all students, and open to skaters of any skill and age.303 Memorial City WayHouston, TX US
Dairy Ashford Roller RinkRead MoreThe Dairy Ashford Roller Rink hit the ground skating in 1974, and has sent visitors zipping across its 65'x180' wooden floor ever since. The family-owned facility uses a digital sound and light system to ramp up the revelry and lure in any hair-metal bands roaming the neighborhood. More than two-dozen strobe lights swirl over surfaces, and a library of more than 3,000 songs pumps through the speakers. Away from the rink, Dairy Ashford maintains a fully stocked snack bar, as well as a spacious and colorful dining area that hosts large groups for birthday parties, family reunions, and corporate gatherings.1820 South Dairy Ashford RoadHouston, TX US
Aerodrome Ice Skating ComplexRead MoreAerodrome Ice Skating Complex doesn't have a shoe fetish. Its more than 1,000 pairs of rental ice skates serve a purpose: to equip guests for ice-related sports and activities. The two main activities, hockey and figure skating, are available to play or learn during an array of leagues, camps, clinics, and lessons throughout the year. In addition to ice-skating, the complex features a food stand, fitness center, and pro shop where skaters can have their skates sharpened or cut into a really cool saw pattern.8220 Willow Place Dr NHouston, TX US
Ice at the GalleriaRead MoreLocated inside the famous Galleria shopping mall, this ice-skating rink is a perfect respite for kids who have yet to be bitten by the shopping bug. Besides hosting daily public skate times, the rink also offers skating and hockey classes.5015 Westheimer Rd, Ste 1260Houston, TX US

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is the uniquely funny, moving story of Greg (Thomas Mann), a high school senior who is trying to blend in anonymously, avoiding deeper relationships as a survival strategy for navigating the social minefield that is teenage life. He even describes his constant companion Earl (RJ Cyler), with whom he makes short film parodies of classic movies, as more of a "co-worker" than a best friend. But when Greg's mom (Connie Britton) insists he spend time with Rachel (Olivia Cooke)—a girl in his class who has just been diagnosed with cancer—he slowly discovers how worthwhile the true bonds of friendship can be.

Assistant George Gwozdecky leaving Lightning
Lightning assistant coach George Gwozdecky has left the team to pursue other opportunities.
Lightning not looking to shop either of its goalies
The Lightning is in an enviable position when it comes to goaltending. It has a proven No. 1 in Ben Bishop, 28, a former Vezina Trophy finalist who was tremendous in his first postseason, racking up two Game 7 shutouts. The Lightning is in an enviable position when it comes to goaltending.
Yzerman: Signing Stamkos 'No. 1 priority' this summer

Kucherov 'probable' for Game 6 after collision with goal post
Lightning wing Nikita Kucherov participated in today's morning skate and is "probable" for Game 6.
Kucherov in 'considerably better shape,' could play Monday
As bad as the injury to RW Nikita Kucherov looked Saturday night, it appears there's a chance he could be back in the lineup Monday for Game 6 against the Blackhawks.
Ben Bishop calls it 'extremely tough decision' to play in Game 5
Lightning goalie Ben Bishop participated in today's optional morning skate, but says it'll be an "extremely tough decision" whether he plays in tonight's Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final.
Alex Killorn explains his 'incredible, old-timey mustache'
Forward Alex Killorn doesn't curl his mustache all the time. But when he does, it becomes a quirky side note to the Stanley Cup final.
Tyler Johnson denies he's hurt: 'I'm fine'
While it seems obvious that an undisclosed injury is preventing Lightning center Tyler Johnson from taking faceoffs, the All-Star isn't ready to admit that. Linemate Ondrej Palat, who has never played center, has been taking draws instead.
Andrei Vasilevskiy ready for Game 5 (if needed)
If goalie Ben Bishop can't play for a second consecutive game, backup Andrei Vasilevskiy said he'll feel even better heading into Saturday's Game 5 than his Stanley Cup final debut.

Cooper hints Drouin could play again this series
Touted Lightning rookie Jonathan Drouin made a turnover in the offensive zone during Saturday's Game 2, holding onto the puck for too long.
Ben Bishop on whether he'll play in Game 3: 'We'll see'
While there's no official word, it sure looks like Lightning goalie Ben Bishop will start tonight in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Bishop on ice for skate, could play in Game 3
Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop participated in today's morning skate, and it's possible he could play tonight in Game 3.
Bishop was relieved by Andrei Vasilevskiy twice in the third period of Saturday's game. It's unclear if it was due to injury or illness.
Bishop faced shots in Monday's skate, looking like normal.
Bishop not ruled out for Game 3
The mystery surrounding the Lightning goaltending situation might continue until warmups for Monday's Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.

How to Let Go of Past Loves
Disarm with Charm
Disarm with Charm
When thoughts come unbidden replace them with neutral, factual thoughts, again offering no real resistance or mental gymnastics. Replace the tape in your head with, "Trees are growing," "People are talking," "Rain falls."
Or, put distance between yourself and persistent memories as Russ Harris (author of "The Happiness Trap") recommends: add words in front of them like, "Oh, I'm having that thought about __again." "Would you look at that! I'm aware that I'm thinking about ___again."You are neutralizing your own knee-jerk reaction.

I'm considering competing in the Keystone Games this year.
Has anyone fenced this event? Is it a good time?
I'm considering competing in the Keystone Games this year.
Has anyone fenced this event? Is it a good time?
The world never seems so clear as it does through the mesh of a fencing mask.
Every touch teaches. Each loss a lesson.
It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.
Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent
I've gone off-again, on-again since 2005, and I've found it to be a really fun experience on several levels.
Although it's usually pretty small in numbers it can be a surprisingly strong event depending on who shows up. Second, it's great fun to be fencing in a space located between the powerlifters and the volleyball players, or between the judo and the table tennis. It's basically a minature version of the Olympic games. I love wandering around watching the other sports, and they in turn also like to wander by and watch us. There's a neat atmosphere of grassroots enthusiasm throughout the games. Also the fencing organizers are hardworking and friendly, and there are usually at least a couple of highly-rated refs available.
It's a fun event. Like Peach and Fencerchica said, it's a small event, but we're friendly (I don't think anyone's had to be treated for fencer bites lately). I've fenced 2 out of the last 3 years and helped out the year of my surgery. The more the merrier (and the higher the event rating)!

From Summer Games, Fencing page (link):
•An athlete must meet the following criteria:
- A full-time Resident of PA, NJ, MD, DE, NY, WV, OH, DC
- A full-time Student at a recognized academic institution in any of the above states
- All athletes eligible to compete in a USFA Event may compete at 2012 Games
- All participants must show proof of current USFA (2011-2012) membership status
Right-of-way doesn't matter if there is a single light.
Edited to add -- if you really feel concerned, I'm sure an email to Curtis Huey will clear things up.

Yeah. I think I'll do this.
Thanks f.net pals.
The world never seems so clear as it does through the mesh of a fencing mask.
Every touch teaches. Each loss a lesson.
Damn shame that they couldn't hold it 6 days earlier... now if I want to fence in it I'll have to purchase a new membership earlier than I was planning on doing instead of being able to use my current membership for one last fling.

They haven't phased out 1 day memberships yet have they?

"Martin was not an optimist; he was a prisoner of hope." Optimism is about assuming there's evidence that justifies your outlook while hope is about creating the evidence and procuring your own happiness or vision of the world. - Professor West
If you intend to have an annual membership later, one day memberships are a fairly bad deal. On the other hand, they are an option.
It's a decent tournament. As mentioned, the multi-sport atmosphere is kind of cool.
Just make sure you're on time; they won't hold registration open even if you call.
And don't expect them to have an armorer present.
Live every week like it's Shark Week.
Reply from Curtis Huey:
The actual criteria are competitors must be a full time resident OR a
student attending an academic institution in one of the above states. The
games aren't restricted to students.
Right-of-way doesn't matter if there is a single light.
The rules state "Restricted competitions may not be rated unless the restriction is based solely upon fencers' classifications or age or Division or Section membership"

June 1- August 8
The May meeting has been canceled.
I seem to be getting a lot of requests for romance novels available for eReaders. This is right up my alley since I have a very close and personal relationship with my Nook. We spend a lot of time together. If you haven't yet, take a minute to check out our Digital Media Catalog, I'm sure you will find something to tempt you. Is there any particular book you would rather read in book form or eBook form? Does it really make a difference? Right now I am really enjoying Sylvia Day. If you have any favorites I'd love to hear about them.
Join us on May 10th at 11:00 AM to discuss U is for Undertow by Sue Grafton. Stop by for a snack and a lively discussion. Everyone welcome!
It is always nice to have some really good books on reserve. Ones you have read and loved and can return to them time and time again. Times when you can't find something new or when your current moods just suit them and nothing else will do. These are stories that have stood the test of time and will be great no matter what year it is. What stories do you turn to again and again?
Coming soon! May 4th & 5th. We will have live performance by Dave Reynolds from Ilex Studios check him out on YouTube.
I love it when I find stories that I just can't get enough of. You know what I mean. When you are reading so late into the night and the only reason you finally turn off the light and put the book down is because you know you can't function without any sleep at all. You at least need three! Or when you feel put upon when someone wants to have a conversation with you and you only want to keep your nose in that book. When it's over you feel like you lost a friend. Here are a few of the series that made me feel that way. Which ones have kept you captivated??? Please share!!!
Join us tonight at 6:30 PM for our monthly meeting.
Please join us Thursday, March 15th at 11:00 AM we will be discussing Spider Bones by Kathy Reichs.
Need help preparing your taxes? AARP will be here every Tuesday and Friday through April 17th. Call for more information @ 281-550-0885.
I picked up the audio book, A Discovery of Witches, by Deborah Harkness. It kept popping up in reviews and magazines so I thought I give it a try. I was not really expecting much. What I found was a beautifully written love story. This story has witches, vampires and daemons as the main focus of the book, not usually my thing, but I could not stop listening to it. The story is absolutely addictive, it is full of magic and romance and history, and I did not want it to end. Deborah has created a world where it all makes perfect sense. This is Deborah Harkness's debut novel and she hit it ju

Park Rapids' Forrest Drury, Brandon Ritter and Ben Baumgartner took different paths to reach the state Class AA wrestling tournament. Drury entered the Section 8AA tournament at Fergus Falls as the No. 1 seed at 170 pounds, Ritter was the No. 2 seed at 220 and Baumgartner was the No.
Going into Saturday's finals of the Section 3A boys swimming and diving meet at Willmar, Park Rapids head coach Todd Fritze told his swimmers to go after cut times in order to qualify for the state Class A meet. As it turned out, the Panthers qualified for state in four events, but only needed to reach cut times in two of them. Junior Jake Waggoner earned the Panthers' first state berth with a runner-up 5:11.72 in the 500-yard freestyle. Senior Sam Goebel, sophomore Connor Smythe, Waggoner and junior Zach Eystad followed by qualifying for state with a fourth-place 1:32.80 in the 200 free
Park Rapids entered the Section 8AA wrestling tournament at Fergus Falls Friday with no one ranked in the state poll. The Panthers left the Section 8AA tournament Saturday with three wrestlers advancing to the state Class AA tournament. Freshman Ben Baumgartner and senior Forrest Drury qualified for state as section champs while senior Brandon Ritter advanced to state as a section runner-up. Senior Zachary Steffen just missed a state berth after losing in a true-second match. Baumgartner entered as the No.
The Park Rapids girls basketball team faced early halftime deficits in losses to Wadena-Deer Creek and Pelican Rapids. W-DC jumped out to a 38-13 lead at the break en route to a 57-19 Mid-State Conference win at Wadena Thursday night while Pelican Rapids used a 47-3 cushion at the half to spark a 78-24 win over the Panthers Saturday at the Area High School gym. Park Rapids closed the regular season with a 1-24 record and received the No. 7 seed for the Section 8AA tournament. The Panthers will travel to No. 2 Crookston Thursday night for a 7 p.m. tip-off in the tournament opener.
The third line and the third time was the charm for the Park Rapids-Menahga-Walker-Hackensack-Akeley boys hockey team in the Section 8A quarterfinals Thursday night at Warroad. Crookston, the No. 4 seed in the tournament, had defeated the No. 5-seeded Panthers 5-4 in overtime and 6-0 during the regular season. That changed in the section quarterfinals as goals by Raul Garcia and Noah MacPherson in the third period sparked the Panthers to a 3-1 victory. Benson Ringle gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead with a goal at the 12:04 mark of the first period.
Ryan Bruggeman hit five 3-pointers and scored 17 points during a 38-4 run in the first half that sparked Pelican Rapids to an 87-48 win over the Park Rapids boys basketball team Saturday night at the Area High School gym. A layup by Ryan Peterson and a basket off a rebound by Tyler McCollum kept the Panthers within 6-4 with 15:46 to play in the first half. That's when the Vikings followed a 20-0 run with an 18-2 run to claim a 44-8 advantage with 6:28 to go in the first half. Bruggeman hit three 3-pointers during the first run and followed with two more during the second run.
United North Central and Walker-Hackensack-Akeley/Nevis combined to send eight wrestlers to the state Class A tournament. Jacob Malone won the title at 126 pounds to lead UNC at Saturday's Section 8A meet at Glyndon. Max Pajari won a true-second match at 160 while Taylor Carlson prevailed in a true-second match at 220 as the Warriors qualified three for state. WHAN qualified five wrestlers, led by Joe Anderson's championship at 160, Collin Huckbody's championship at 170 and Christopher Zimmer's championship at 195.
Tatum Sheley's 20 points and Autumn Ackerman's 12 points and 15 rebounds led Pine River-Backus to a 71-21 win over the Park Rapids girls basketball team last Friday night at the Area High School gym. Megan Felthous also hit double figures for the Tigers with 10 points. Charity Ridlon (8) and Katie Klein (6) combined for 14 points for the Panthers, who trailed 52-14 at the half.
A 29-5 run to open the game sparked the Nevis girls basketball team to a 63-27 Northwoods Conference win over Blackduck last Friday night at the Tiger Arena. Two inside baskets apiece by Bettsy Hjelseth, Megan Norby and Riley Hanson led the Tigers to a 13-2 lead before a layup by Norby, a basket off a rebound by Jordan Walters, two layups by Hjelseth and two inside baskets by Hanson pushed the lead to 25-5 with 4:08 to play in the first half. A jumper by Hanson, a layup by Walters, a jumper by Norby and a jumper by Karly Drury gave Nevis a 33-12 advantage at the half. Blackduck cut the g
Wadena-Deer Creek hit four 3-pointers on five trips down the court to break open a tie game and spark a 67-51 Mid-State Conference victory over the Park Rapids boys basketball team last Friday night at Wadena. After Chris Goplerud hit a free throw to tie the game at 34-34 with 9:43 to play, Andrew VanErp hit three 3-pointers to ignite a 15-0 run. VanErp followed a 3-pointer with a 4-point play as the Wolverines claimed the lead for good.

June 2015 Grace Note
Here is our quarterly grace note update on our happenings in Papua New Guinea. We hope this finds you safe and well. ~ In Christ ~ David, Shelly & Cadi too! ~
Grace Note: To The Watut
Great news, God has led us to translation work with the Watut people! You can read about it in our newsletter below or load the PDF version by following this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9j2mEsQoGKhQ0QzQi0xT0dGSEU/view?usp=sharing.
Returning to Bencheng
Dear friends and family,
Do you remember our recent trip to the Watut people of Bencheng from the picture travelogue we sent out? If not, you can view it again here:
Well, we are excited to let you know that last Monday we received an official invitation from the folks in Bencheng to come and live with them for a month. After communicating back and forth, a man in the village graciously offered to lend us his house and a village leader affirmed their desire to teach us their language. In a short span of a few days we have purchased, packed, and prepared supplies to take with us. We will be flying by helicopter on Monday morning the 16th at 9:00 am (Sunday 3:00 pm PST). The chopper ride is only about 20 minutes compared to the 30 hours of travel to reach Bencheng by road and river. We will be landing in the school's soccer field and expect our arrival to bring a lot of excitement to say the least. After a 28-day village stay, we will return to Ukarumpa on March 16th in time for the bi-annual branch conference.
While we are in Bencheng, we desire to hear clearly from the Lord as to whether this is the place He would have us work long-term. Please pray for discernment and wisdom in this decision. Pray also that we would connect and build lasting relationships with folks as we begin language learning. It is rather hot in Bencheng, so please pray that our bodies would quickly acclimate so that we can function well during the day and rest at night. Please especially pray for the people of Middle Watut, that they would have unity and purpose in moving forward to translate God's word.
As we leave on this journey, in some ways alone, we are thoroughly encouraged that Christ goes with us and that we are sent by you through your prayers and support.
With love in Christ,
David, Shelly & Cadi Midkiff

To Bencheng and Back Again
As a part of the Markham Multi-Language Initiative, we made a trip to the Watut Valley in order to visit the Middle Watut (Maraliinan) language group. Our team consisted of us three (David, Shelly & Cadi) as well as David Howard (our team leader), Sunnie Karbrette (a national worker from a nearby language group), Stephanie Tobiana (a national Scripture awareness worker), and Pastor Martin (a Lutheran Renewal pastor in the Adzera region).
Our trip began on Friday, January 16th at 7:30 AM. We departed Ukarumpa and drove four hours to the port city of Lae.
Upon arriving at the SIL Guest House in Lae, we prepared our luggage and rested before heading into town to catch a Passenger Motor Vehicle (PMV).
Our contact in the Watut Valley, a Lutheran Deacon named Maliaki, had traveled into Lae the previous day and slept overnight in the market area. We were supposed to meet him at a local bank, but upon arrival we were't able to find him. We tried calling his cellphone to no avail, so we asked around and found where to catch the PMV out to the Watut Valley. When we found the PMV, Maliaki had already reserved seats for us and had wandered off in search of us. We waited there for some time and eventually he came back, very happy to see us. We are very thankful for his kind help!
We then boarded the PMV (a covered open-bed truck with benches) and prepared to depart.
Because the PMV wasn't full initially, we waited a couple more hours for passengers to fill up. The floor was full of bags, produce, a few chickens, and even a couple puppies. Needless to say, it was crammed. Eventually the PMV took off and left Lae, heading south across the Markham River towards Mumeng.
After some time we arrived at the base camp for the Wafi-Golpu mine. This mine is one of the largest gold/copper mines in the world. A very well-maintained mining road crosses over the mountains into the Watut Valley and only certain PMVs are permitted to travel that road in order to service the local community.
Upon gaining access to the private mining road, we began to ascend into the mountains, following a ridge much of the time. The scenery was breathtaking and there wasn't a pothole on the road.
After descending into the Watut Valley, we unloaded near the village of Madzim, and hiked about 20 minutes to a small hamlet where Maliaki and his family live. We arrived around 7:00 PM, after nearly 12 hours of travelling.
We slept that night in an open-framed house (which was still under construction) on roll-up mats and under mosquito nets. (The community has a portable sawmill nearby and is able to cut smooth planks for their houses.)
The next day (Saturday) we set out on a two-hour hike to the river in order to catch a boat upstream to a large, central village called Bencheng.
Part of the way through the hike we stopped at a small village and ate yellow watermelon. Cadi really enjoyed that!
On much of the hike we waded through thick, muddy bogland, balancing on sticks and logs with the expert guidance of our hosts. At some points the logs were submerged in the mud, and we had to be told where to place our feet in order to avoiding sinking in the bog. A local woman with amazing balance carried Cadi at that point, which we were very grateful for.
Finally we arrived at the Watut River with muddy feet and a good amount of mosquito bites.
A very large wooden dugout canoe with a mounted outboard motor was waiting for us, sent by the local Lutheran Church Parish. Their generosity and care for us was humbling.
Our hosts loaded our luggage on board, as well as some coconuts for drinking, and we began boarding ourselves.
We then proceeded upstream a ways and continued on a shallow tributary that flows into the Watut River. They had to lift the outboard motor up a ways and navigate around shallow sand bars in order to make it to the village of Bencheng. We had Cadi in a life-jacket, which made her rather hot and a bit cross for a good portion of the trip. But she made it with stories to tell!
We finally arrived on the outskirts of Bencheng and unloaded our luggage.
We then made a short hike into the village and rested under a large shade tree for a few hours. The Lutheran Church leaders met us there and gave us a lot of kulau (coconut water) to drink and pineapple to snack on. We tried to get Cadi to sleep (rather unsuccessfully) by hanging her in a bilum (string bag) from the tree (a common Papua New Guinean custom). We then made our introductions and storied for awhile.
A couple hours later we went and bathed in the river (quite refreshing!) and setup our beds in a nearby village house. David as well as David Howard went out in the early evening and explored around a field outside of Bencheng where an old World War II airstrip called Tsili Tsili used to be located. It's now overgrown with tall kunai grass and has a trail running down the center of it. This airfield was a strategic location for the Australians and Americans in holding off advancing Japanese troops.
That evening we attended a church service in the village square, and Pastor Martin preached an excellent sermon on the renewal of our minds to the gathered congregation. Afterwards we had a good meal and chatted for some time out under the stars. It had been about 92 degrees F that day, and only got down to about 70 that night. Our temporary house, not being well-ventilated, was rather hot most of the night but we were so tired we fell asleep quite quickly. The next morning we bathed again in the river and prepared for church.
The church service began shortly before 11:00 AM. People from Bencheng as well as neighboring villages showed up, and leaders from the local Lutheran Parish arrived from throughout the region. It was a packed house and many people were sitting on the ground outside.
We were then ushered into the church by a traditional singsing procession. They sang hymns in their language with traditional-style singing and kundu drums. The hymns were translated to us and we learned that they were singing about Christ's eternal reign and other deep theological truths. The Holy Spirit was very present in their gathering.
Our team leader David Howard preached the sermon that morning in Tok Pisin on "Language and the Plan of God". He tied in themes throughout Scripture on the importance of language and diversity in God's plan for the nations. Just as God hadn't created one type of flower, or one type of tree, He also hadn't created just one language; He delights in diversity. This reaffirmed to the people that their language is important in God's redemptive plan.
After the service we ate lunch and rested, then we proceeded to a large covered area in the village square in order to meet with everyone and discuss the possibilities of translation work in their language group. We presented on the history of Bible translation, what a good Bible translation looks like, and steps we desired to see them take in order to form a sustainable translation committee. It was very hot and many people looked drowsy, but the key leaders were very attentive. After presenting we as a family were invited by a couple very passionate church leaders to come and work with them. We explained that SIL is committed to working with them but that we as a couple needed time to pray and seek God about our decision to work with them. They accepted that and committed to forming a translation committee that would involve all the major villages in the entire Watut Valley (including the North and South Watut languages as well). We were greatly encouraged by their passion and desire to move forward.
After the meetings completed we got the contact information of a number of church leaders there and then proceeded across the village square back to our temporary house in order to pack up and depart.
After packing up, we ate a little more and said our good-byes. Several people asked us when we were coming back and we reaffirmed that we would if God sends us. We then hiked out in the late afternoon back to the river, passing a small Seventh-Day Adventist Church on the way.
Many women lined up on our way out of the village, shaking our hands and giving us small gifts of bananas and pineapples. We came across this cute little guy and couldn't help but adore him.
When we arrived at the river bank we waited as a man carried the outboard motor on his shoulder down from the village. Many villagers came to see us off and we enjoyed their lively chatter.
As we departed from Bencheng, the men used large bamboo poles to row us down the shallow tributary back towards deeper water. They then put down the motor and we quickly returned back to where we had originally boarded the boat downstream.
Our hosts decided to take us a longer route through the bush in order to avoid a lot of the bogland we had originally gone through. At a rather fast pace we booked it down the trail in order to get back before dark. Yet the path was quite long, and there were a few bogs to cross nonetheless, so it got dark well before we made it back. Hiking through the jungle with flashlights was quite an adventure!
We arrived back at Maliaki's hamlet safely, praise the Lord! We bathed in a stream, ate, and went to bed quite exhausted. At 4:30 AM the next morning we got up, packed, and hiked out to the mining road to catch the PMV at 6:00 AM back to Lae. With the Lord's help we had completed a rather grueling, whirlwind journey.
Our trip wasn't all enjoyable and fun. Intense heat, long hikes, caring for a baby, and interacting with a sea of new faces was difficult for us. However, we were greatly encouraged by the positive reception we received, their eagerness to do translation work, and their outstanding hospitality. The trip was remarkable to say the least and we are patiently seeking God as to whether this is where He would have us work in the long-term. Please pray with us and for the Watut people, they really desire to hear the Scriptures in their language!
P.S. – If you want to see where we journeyed, you can lookup the "Tsili Tsili Airport" on Google Earth or Google Maps. Bencheng is right next to it in the foothills of the highlands. You also might be surprised to hear that though we were in a very remote location, there was a cellphone tower up on the mountainside giving us access to the Internet. The world is a much smaller place, in the best sense of the term!

Important Prayer Request
Dear friends and family,
Next week from January 16th through the 19th we'll be making a trip into the Watut region of Papua New Guinea to meet with church leaders. It will consist of an 8-hour trip by road and a short boat ride on a river. We will be accompanied by our team leader David Howard (who heads up the Markham Multi-Language Initiative), Steven Ttopoqogo (a representative from BTA which is the national Bible translation association of Papua New Guinea), and possibly a few others. The purpose of our visit is to determine if the Watut leaders desire to start a Bible translation project and have us move in among them to learn their language and come alongside them in the translation work. Please pray for safety, wisdom, discernment, and guidance for everyone involved in this important trip. Pray also for travelling mercies (especially for Cadi). This trip may determine the course of the next couple of decades of our lives! We cherish your important involvement in this through the power of prayer.
In Christ,
David & Shelly Midkiff

November 2014 Grace Note
July 2014 Grace Note: The Watut People
We've arrived!
Dear ones,
We are happy to report that we're safely in Papua New Guinea. We arrived on Friday at Wycliffe's missions center called Ukarumpa in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Our fellowship family met us at the airstrip and have been showing us around the center these past few days. We've been happy to reconnect with friends that we've met at various stages in our training and also have been enjoying making new friends.
Cadi did great on the flights. Her ears seemed to bother her a bit during takeoff and landing, but each flight got progressively better. Her cold is also doing much better. Thank you so much for praying about that! We received excellent treatment in the airports because of her, including having our excess baggage fees waived as well as getting to cut to the front of the line multiple times through security and customs. She charmed everyone!
Yesterday we moved into a house here at Ukarumpa and are happy to have a place to call home. We will be here at the center until mid-August when we will go to the pacific orientation course in the coastal city of Madang. After our training we will return to Ukarumpa, and then eventually move into one of the villages of the language group we'll be working with. Right now we are focusing on learning the trade language. Soon we will get to meet our colleagues in the multi-language translation project we will be joining.
Our e-mail here in Papua New Guinea is firstname.lastname@example.com. If you send to that e-mail we won't be charged for the bandwidth. And if you would like our cell-phone number, feel free to ask us. Thank you so much for all your prayers and financial partnership!
Blessings in Christ,
David, Shelly & Cadi Midkiff

Fully funded!
Dear friends and family,
We write to you to celebrate the Lord's provision. We are now fully funded! This is a HUGE answer to prayer. Praise the Lord! We began this journey in 2012, and the Lord has orchestrated His perfect plan in His perfect timing. He is truly in control. We will be departing for Papua New Guinea the last week of June, and will be purchasing our plane tickets in the next couple of weeks . Please be praying that Catherine's visa application process will go through smoothly. And pray for the multi-language translation project (MLP) we will be joining in the Markham Valley, that God will orchestrate all the details and increase community support among the participating tribes. Pray also that the enemy will not be able to hinder the work as it moves forward.
We thank all of you who have been praying for us and partnering with us financially. If you are still interested in partnering with us, any amount above and beyond 100% will go directly to our ministry expenses as our budget needs do fluctuate over time. Thank you so much, and we will keep you posted as our preparations to depart progress.
With love in Christ,
David, Shelly & Catherine Midkiff

The Abu Dhabi Police has arrested seven men for allegedly attempting to make fake withdrawals worth around $10 billion from the UAE Central Bank, official news agency WAM reported on Saturday.
The men-three Europeans and four Asians, reportedly produced forged documents claiming that the central bank owed a European Bank the money, the Abu Dhabi Police said. "The documents presented by the suspects were fake and meant for attempted fraud targeting the Central Bank," Colonel Hammad Ahmed al-Hammadi, director of the Criminal Investigation Department of Abu Dhabi Police told WAM.
The accused have denied the charges. But if convicted, they could face up to 10 years in prison, said the report.

Press release from Marketwire
Crocodile Gold and Aurico Gold Sign Definitive Agreement in Respect of Crocodile Gold's Acquisition of the Fosterville and Stawell Mines from Aurico Gold
Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Crocodile Gold and Aurico Gold Sign Definitive Agreement in Respect of Crocodile Gold's Acquisition of the Fosterville and Stawell Mines from Aurico Gold17:04 EDT Tuesday, March 27, 2012TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 27, 2012) - Crocodile Gold Corp. ("Crocodile Gold") (TSX:CRK) and AuRico Gold Inc. ("AuRico or "AuRico Gold") (TSX:AUQ)(NYSE:AUQ) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Crocodile Gold will acquire the Stawell and Fosterville mines located in Victoria State, Australia through the acquisition of all of the shares of Northgate Australian Ventures Corporation Pty Ltd ("Navco") from AuRico, for total consideration of up to C$105 million (the "Transaction").Crocodile Gold believes the Transaction is strongly aligned with its growth strategy of becoming an intermediate Australian based gold producer. In addition to adding mineral resources and reserves to its existing portfolio, the acquisition significantly changes Crocodile Gold's production profile, with estimated 2012 production increasing to 230,000-250,000 ounces. The acquisition further provides Crocodile Gold the opportunity to become a 300,000 ounces/year producer in 2013. The increased production profile of Crocodile Gold is expected to allow for purchasing synergies and overhead savings while providing Crocodile Gold two additional operating assets, and should significantly de-risk the existing operations. The combination of three operations in Cosmo, Fosterville and Stawell is expected to create a solid foundation while projects such as Union Reefs Underground and Maud Creek are being advanced and the full potential of the newly expanded land position is assessed. Crocodile Gold is committed to maintaining its recently-adopted, disciplined approach of ensuring that all of its activities create value in the short and medium term for all shareholders. For AuRico Gold, the Transaction generates significant cash proceeds at closing and furthers AuRico's strategy of focusing on its portfolio of large, low-cost, long-life gold assets in North America.Chantal Lavoie, President, CEO and Chairman of Crocodile Gold, stated, "We are very pleased to be adding the Fosterville and Stawell mines to our portfolio of Australian assets. The two mines will add meaningfully to Crocodile Gold's near-term production as our Cosmo mine continues to ramp up to steady state. We also believe that significant synergies exist between the operations that should create additional value for Crocodile Gold and the shareholders. Very important to the transaction is the wealth of knowledge and technical expertise that Fosterville and Stawell's teams bring to Crocodile Gold. Combined with the existing management group, the additional experience of operating similar scale underground operations as our own should considerably de-risk our growth and help shape the future of our new company".René Marion, President and CEO of AuRico, stated, "We are pleased to have entered into this agreement with Crocodile Gold and look forward to becoming a shareholder of Crocodile Gold on closing. While the assets are non-core from AuRico's perspective, we see significant value in the combination of these Australian assets with Crocodile Gold's portfolio. In turn, the sale will enable AuRico to focus on its North American asset base, which is poised to deliver peer-leading growth over the next 5 years. The Transaction is clearly a win-win for both parties."Transaction Rationale for Crocodile GoldAdds two producing mines to Crocodile Gold's portfolio; Increases 2012 expected production by approximately 155,000 - 175,000 ounces or approximately 200%, increasing Crocodile Gold's 2012 guidance to 230,000 - 250,000 ounces; Strengthens Crocodile Gold presence in Australia as a diversified miner with the combination of two highly talented operating teams; Accretive to Crocodile Gold with limited dilution to existing shareholders; Significant near-term cash flow can be redeployed into projects such as Union Reefs and Maud Creek; Both assets have further exploration prospectivity with potential to extend mine lives; and Management, operating team and procurement synergies. Transaction Rationale for AuRico GoldDisposition of non-core assets to remain focused on North America; Significant cash proceeds up front of C$70 million; Upside to Fosterville and Stawell based on the deferred payments; and Upside to Crocodile Gold's enlarged portfolio through the share consideration. The TransactionPursuant to the Transaction, AuRico will receive, in exchange for its 100% ownership interest in Navco, total consideration of up to C$105 million comprised of: (a) C$70 million in cash and C$10 million in Crocodile Gold common shares (being 20 million shares at a deemed price of C$0.50 per common share) to be paid on the closing date of the Transaction; and (b) C$25 million in contingent payments to be paid over three installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the closing date of the Transaction, each installment payment being conditional upon the simple annual average gold price exceeding A$1,500 per ounce in the preceding twelve month period. The up-front payment of C$70 million to be paid by Crocodile Gold on the closing date of the Transaction is expected to be financed through a term credit facility that Crocodile Gold is currently negotiating with Credit Suisse International ("Credit Suisse"). Completion of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of all regulatory approvals. Completion is not conditional on financing. Closing is expected to occur on or about May 1, 2012. Credit Suisse Facility Crocodile Gold has signed a non-binding term sheet with Credit Suisse for an A$80 million credit facility. Although Credit Suisse and Crocodile Gold have not yet finalized definitive terms or entered into definitive commitment agreements, the parties are working diligently toward that end. The credit facility is subject to various customary and other conditions precedent, including final credit approvals, satisfactory documentation and the completion of due diligence. Should the Credit Suisse facility, for any reason, fail to close prior to the closing date of the Transaction, Luxor Capital Group has agreed to provide Crocodile Gold a bridge facility on commercially reasonable terms in order to close the Transaction. Advisors Crocodile Gold has retained Dundee Capital Markets to act as its financial advisor and Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP to act as its legal advisor. AuRico Gold has retained BMO Capital Markets to act as its financial advisor and Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP to act as its legal advisor.

Korean Film Archive Signs Collaboration Agreement With Shanghai Film Museum
The two institutions will work together on film screenings, exhibitions and restoration projects.
SEOUL — The Korean Film Archive (KOFA) has signed an "agreement of cooperation" with the newly opened Shanghai Film Museum, the South Korea state-backed body announced.
The pact, the first of its kind to be pursued for KOFA since its inception in 1974, means the two organizations will collaborate for film screenings, exhibitions, and restoration projects.

"I hope the agreement will facilitate cultural exchange between the two countries and also help push forth international projects," said Lee Byung-hoon, director of KOFA. He added that the pact will help the archive recover and restore local classics dispersed around the world. Last year for example KOFA succeeded in locating the 1958 film Love With an Alien, the first Korea-Hong Kong co-production, at the Hong Kong Film Archive.
"Hallyu [the Korean term for the country's recent pop culture wave around the world] and other elements of Korean culture have been increasingly introduced in China, and this agreement is expected to boost cultural exchange," said the Shanghai museum's deputy director Fan Yi Rong.
The Chinese museum, which just opened Sunday as part of the Shanghai International Film Festival, is operated by the state-run Shanghai Film Group Corporation. The four-story building comprises four exhibition spaces and five cinemas. It stores some 30,000 films and documents that were owned by film studios based in Shanghai, as well as 20,000 costumes and props.
The inauguration ceremony for the museum included the screening of Alfred Hitcock's Blackmail, the first of nine silent films by the auteur being shown at the festival. In attendance were industry insiders including Davide Pozzi of Italy's Cineteca di Bologna.

Rated 4 out of 5ô by Humble Light as feathers I saw this Relaxology shoe in store first, but they don't have the color I want in stock. So I decided to order online. The shoe is extremely light like wear nothing, but you feel the shoe is a bit cheap when you know you are actually wearing the foam. March 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5ô by Bruce73 Comfortable AND lightweight I had seen these shoes in a Tommy Bahama Store but they didn't have my size. I ordered online and when I got them I didn't want to take them off - in the dead of winter in Iowa! Luckily we have traveled to warmer climates and they are my favorite shoes. I can walk distances in them and my feet don't hurt. The Insole is built to really support your feet. They are both comfortable and weigh next to nothing. March 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5ô by Cookie123 Great product! My husband loves these shoes, very light and comfy. Getting ready to buy another pair. Thank you so much. February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5ô by JZJZ Surprizingly light. Comfortable, too. Looks great with shorts, so I bought them. The bonus came when I picked them up. I couldn't believe how light they were. Then, I put them on, and was more thrilled. The sole of the shoe made my odd-looking feet feel great when walking. I bought a pair for my son, too. He loves them. February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5ô by Steaton57 The shoe is very comfortable. The padded sole makes it feel like you are walking on a pillow. I have defintely enjoyed this shoe since I purchased it. The fit is exceptional and makes walking enjoyable. I highly recommend this product, especially if you have any issues when walking long distances. February 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5ô by LTCMARK I really like my shoes. They are as light as a feather. The shoes are so comfortable and sporty looking. I used the coupon my wife received in the mail. We purchased Tommy Bahama furniture for our dining room and living room in 2014. You could say we are a Tommy Bahama family. All the Best, Mark February 8, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5ô by RodStar The Relaxology Rester Shoes but they did not fit me well. Run a size smaller than normal. High Back on the heel. Traded for slip-ons. LOVE! LOVE! Love the look of the Relaxology Rester Shoes but they did not fit me well. I have flat feet and they run a size smaller than normal. High back on the heel rubbed my ankles in certain positions. Traded for the relaxology slip-ons. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE THEM! Just as comfortable without the discomfort around my ankle. February 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5ô by KyleC123 Amazing Tommy Bahama Quality as always! Love my latest purchase from Tommy Bahama. I always expect great quality, design and comfort from anything I purchase from Tommy Bahama and these shoes certainly hit the mark. Only problem is every time I put them on, all I want to do is skip work and head for the boat or a nice relaxing shade tree with a cool drink. January 29, 2015

PULSE; The Quartz Treatment
By Ellen Tien
Published: January 11, 2004
Think of it as a high-end spin on the traditional hot rock massage. At the new Gloss Day Spa on the Upper East Side, an amethyst the size of a large avocado has taken the place of the usual hot lava stone. The oversize amethyst, cut in Italy and weighing 150 carats, is heated to 85 degrees, wrapped in gauze and nestled for five-minute spells on each of the client's seven ''energy centers,'' or chakras -- belly, brow, solar plexus and so forth. As part of the treatment, the spa also provides an upper-body massage and a ''detoxifying'' facial using steam and more massage. The 75-minute session ($185) is called the Haute Bijoux Hot Chakra Treatment. In addition to promoting relaxation, it is said to be spiritually cleansing -- something about the gem's purple aura. Naturally, healing effects may vary. The Gloss Day Spa is at 51 East 73rd Street, Suite 2B; www.glossdayspa.com or (212) 249-2100.
