Read Poems by
Mohammad Hussain
When I first laid my eyes on to you
you changed everything about me
my life, my dreams and my values too
not to mention changing life within my soul
After that all I ever wanted
was to be with you
it became my number one goal
We became friends after getting
to know each other a bit
I knew then, it wasn't time to quit
I am really attracted to you
and you know that it's true
but do you love me
the way I love you
I'll keep on trying
but I guess I will never know
only time will tell
weather you'll say yes
or you'll say no...

What to do in Chamonix
Most of us won't ever soar in a wingsuit, but we can get close in Chamonix, where the Aiguille du Midi cable car takes you from town to nearly 13,000 feet in less than a half-hour. And for the final 4,000 vertical feet up the North Face, no towers prick the landscape. Take in views generally reserved for extreme alpinists, then grab a bite at Summit 3842 or the less pricey "3842" snack bar, with 360-degree vistas of the Swiss, French, and Italian Alps, plus Mont Blanc and its satellite peaks. In summer, hike through wild scenery to historic mountain huts for lunch or an overnight. In winter, schuss the 20-kilometer Vallée Blanche, one of the world's most spectacular ski runs. Chamonix is a hub for mountain climbers, and you can get a glimpse into their world at Bar Nationale. Just look for the pile of colorful backpacks next to the door.

The Best Of Gifts
READ: John 1:10-13
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! 2 Corinthians 9:15
Having trouble selecting that perfect gift for someone? A friend shared with me a few suggestions:
The gift of listening. No interrupting, no planning your response. Just listening.
The gift of affection. Being generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, and pats on the back.
The gift of laughter. Sharing funny stories and jokes. Your gift will say, I love to laugh with you.
The gift of a written note. Expressing in a brief, handwritten note your appreciation or affection.
The gift of a compliment. Sincerely saying, You look great today or You are special can bring a smile.
But as we begin this special month of celebration, why not pass on the best gift youve ever received? Share the fact that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus (Rom. 6:23). Or share this verse from John 1:12, As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. Remind others that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
The best gift of all is Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! (2 Cor. 9:15). Cindy Hess Kasper
The greatest Gift that has ever been given
Is Jesus Christ who was sent down from heaven.
This Gift can be yours if you will believe;
Trust Him as Savior, and new life receive. Hess
The best gift was found in a manger.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"

He Doesnt Stand A Chance
READ: Ephesians 6:10-18
He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
In 2004, Josh Hamilton was an outstanding pro baseball prospect, but he was suspended because of drug abuse. Then one night Josh had a life-changing dream. He was fighting the devil. I had a stick, he said, and every time I hit him, hed fall and get back up. I hit him until I was exhausted, and he was still standing.
After that nightmare, Hamilton vowed to stay clean. The dream returned, but with an important difference. I would hit [the devil] and he would bounce back, said Josh. But this time Josh was not alone. He said, I turned my head and Jesus was battling alongside me. We kept fighting, and I was filled with strength. The devil didnt stand a chance.
The Bible says that the devil doesnt stand a chance because the Spirit, who is in us, is greater than he is (1 John 4:4). Christ came to destroy the works of the devil through His life, ministry, and sacrifice (3:8). At the cross, He disarmed and triumphed over the devil (Col. 1:13-14; 2:15).
Though defeated by the cross, the devil remains active in this world. But his final defeat is certain (Rev. 20:7-10). Until then, we take up the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:10-18), standing firm against him by Jesus blood and His Word. He doesnt stand a chance. Marvin Williams
And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us. Luther
The devil is a defeated foe.

Finding Jesus
READ: Romans 8:27-39
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32
After someone stole a valuable ceramic figurine of Baby Jesus from a nativity scene in Wellington, Florida, officials took action to keep thieves from succeeding again. An Associated Press report described how they placed a GPS tracking device inside the replacement figurine. When Baby Jesus disappeared again the next Christmas, sheriffs deputies were led by the signal to the thiefs apartment.
There are times when difficult circumstances or personal loss can cause us to feel that Christ has been stolen from our Christmas. How can we find Jesus when life seems to be working against us?
Like a spiritual GPS, Romans 8 guides us to Gods never-failing love and presence with us. We read that the Holy Spirit helps us in our weaknesses and intercedes for us (v.27). We know that God is for us (v.31). And we have this grand assurance: He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (v.32). Finally, we are reminded that nothing can separate us from Gods love in Christ Jesus (vv.38-39).
Look for Jesus in the manger, on the cross, risen from the dead, and in our hearts. Thats where we can find Jesus at Christmas. David C. McCasland
But what to those who find? Ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show,
The love of Jesus, what it is
None but His loved ones know. Bernard of Clairvaux
If we focus only on Christmas, we might lose sight of Christ.

What You Can Do
READ: Ephesians 3:14-21
[I pray that] He would grant you . . . to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. Ephesians 3:16
Are you getting what you want out of life? Or do you feel that the economy, your government, your circumstances, or other outside factors are robbing you of value and joy?
Recently, a polling agency asked 1,000 people what they most desired in their lives. One fascinating result was that 90 percent of Bible-believing Christians said that they wanted these outcomes: a close relationship with God, a clear purpose in life, a high degree of integrity, and a deep commitment to the faith.
Notice that these heartfelt desires are all things we as individuals can do something about without outside human help. No government program will assist here, and tough economic times cannot steal these ideals. These life goals are achieved as we allow Gods Word to rule in our hearts and as we receive the Spirits strength to build up the inner man (Eph. 3:16), resulting in true joy.
In our complicated world, its tempting to put our quest for what we desire into the hands of othersto expect an outside entity to fulfill our desires. While we sometimes need help, and we cannot live in isolation, its not outside sources that provide true happiness. That comes from withinfrom letting Christ be at home in our hearts (v.17). Dave Branon
Holy Spirit, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine;
Cast down every idol throne,
Reign supreme and reign alone. Reed
If a troubled world gets you down, look up to Jesus.

Presents Or Presence?
READ: 1 John 2:24-29
In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
Oswald Chambers once wrote: It is not Gods promises we need, it is [God] Himself.
At Christmastime we often say, Gods presence is more important than presents. But the amount of time and effort we spend on shopping for gifts may indicate otherwise.
In certain parts of the world, people give gifts on December 6. By doing so, they have the rest of the month to focus on Jesus and the wonder of His birth, Gods perfect gift to us.
When we say we want Gods presence more than presents from others, perhaps were being truthful. But how many of us can honestly say that we want Gods presence more than His presents?
Often we want gifts from God more than we want God Himself. We want health, wealth, knowledge, a better job, a better place to live. God may indeed want to give us these things, but we cant have them apart from Him. As David said, In Your presence is fullness of joy (Ps. 16:11). Presents may make us happy for a time; earthly gifts from God may make us happy temporarily, but fullness of joy comes only when we remain in a right relationship with God.
So, what would Christmas be like if we truly celebrated Gods presence? Julie Ackerman Link
Lord, we want to remember You and Your coming in special ways this Christmas. Give us creativity and thoughtfulness in our planning. Help us to focus on Your presence and not on what we hope to give or receive.
Gods presence with us is one of His greatest presents to us.

Advent Adventure
READ: Matthew 12:11-21
In His name Gentiles will trust. Matthew 12:21
During the season of Advent on the church calendar, Christians around the world light candles. The first candle symbolizes hope. The prophet Isaiah said that all nations will place their hope or trust in Christ, Gods Chosen One (Isa. 42:1-4; Matt. 12:21).
We think of Advent from the perspective of earthbound creatures who know nothing but this life. We rejoice that Jesus came to visit us on this beautiful planet that He made especially for us. But its important to remember that Jesus came from a better place. He is first and foremost from heaven, a place more beautiful than we can imagine.
Whenever I think about Jesus coming to earth, I also consider that He had to leave heaven to get here. For Him, earth was hostile territory. Coming here was a dangerous venture (Matt. 12:14). Yet He came. Our just and compassionate God made Himself vulnerable to human injustice. The Creator of the universe put on the garment of flesh and came to experience firsthand what life here is really like.
Jesus tasted death for everyone (Heb. 2:9) so that we can taste His goodness (1 Peter 2:3). He left the splendor of heaven to bring us to glory (Heb. 2:10). He gave His own life to give us hope for eternal life. Julie Ackerman Link
The hope of Christmas is the song
Of angels in the sky,
And Christ within a manger laid
To bring salvation nigh. Campbell
God broke into human history to offer us the gift of eternal life.

War . . . Then Peace
READ: Luke 23:32-43
The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
On December 7, 1941, a Japanese war plane piloted by Mitsuo ***hida took off from the aircraft carrier Akagi. ***hida led the surprise attack on the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Through the war years to follow, ***hida continued to flyoften narrowly escaping death. At wars end, he was disillusioned and bitter.
A few years later, he heard a story that piqued his spiritual curiosity: A Christian young woman whose parents had been killed by the Japanese during the war decided to minister to Japanese prisoners. Impressed, ***hida began reading the Bible.
As he read Jesus words from the cross, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do (Luke 23:34), he understood how that woman could show kindness to her enemies. That day ***hida gave his heart to Christ.
Becoming a lay preacher and evangelist to his fellow citizens, this former warrior demonstrated the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:7)a peace enjoyed by those who have trusted Christ and who let [their] requests be made known to God (v.6).
Have you found this peace? No matter what you have gone through, God makes it available to you. Dennis Fisher
There is peace in midst of turmoil,
There is joy when eyes are dim,
There is perfect understanding
When we leave it all to Him. Brown
True peace is not the absence of war; it is the presence of God. Loveless

A Legacy Of Repentance
READ: Psalm 51
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart. Psalm 51:17
All nations have heroes, but Israel may be alone in making epic literature about its greatest heros failings (Ps. 51). This eloquent psalm shows that Israel ultimately remembered David more for his devotion to God than for his political achievements.
Step-by-step, the psalm takes the reader through the stages of repentance. It describes the constant mental replays, the gnawing guilt, the shame, and finally the hope of a new beginning that springs from true repentance.
In a remarkable way, Psalm 51 reveals the true nature of sin as a broken relationship with God. David cries out, Against You, You only, have I sinned (v.4). He sees that the sacrifices God wants are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart (v.17). Those, David has.
In his prayer, David looks for possible good that might come out of his tragedy and sees a glimmer of light. Perhaps by reading this story of sin others might avoid the same pitfalls, or by reading his confession they might gain hope in forgiveness. Davids prayer is answered and becomes his greatest legacy as king. The best king of Israel has fallen the farthest. But neither he, nor anyone, can fall beyond the reach of Gods love and forgiveness. Philip Yancey
How blest is he whose trespass
Has freely been forgiven,
Whose sin is wholly covered
Before the sight of heaven. Psalter
Repentance is the soil in which forgiveness flourishes.

When Life Is Too Big
READ: 1 Kings 3:4-14
O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. 1 Kings 3:7
As a young man, Jimmy Carter was a junior officer in the US Navy. He was deeply impacted by Admiral Hyman Rickover, the mastermind of the US nuclear submarine fleet.
Shortly after Carters inauguration as President, he invited Rickover to the White House for lunch, where the admiral presented Carter with a plaque that read, O, God, Thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small. That prayer is a useful perspective on the size and complexity of life and our inability to manage it on our own.
Solomon too knew that life could be overwhelming. When he succeeded his father, David, as king of Israel, he confessed his weakness to God, saying, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in (1 Kings 3:7). As a result, he asked for the wisdom to lead in a way that would please God and help others (v.9).
Is life feeling too big for you? There may not be easy answers to the challenges you are facing, but God promises that, if you ask for wisdom, He will grant it (James 1:5). You dont have to face the overwhelming challenges of life alone. Bill Crowder
Each day we learn from yesterday
Of Gods great love and care;
And every burden we must face
Hell surely help us bear. D. De Haan

A Mere Happening?
READ: Ruth 2:1-12
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6
Huang, a nonbeliever, was a visiting scientist at the University of Minnesota in 1994. While there, he met some Christians and enjoyed their fellowship. So when they learned he would be returning to Beijing, they gave him the name of a Christian to contact who was also moving there.
On the flight back to Beijing, the plane encountered engine trouble and stopped in Seattle overnight. The airline placed Huang in the same room with the very person he was to contact! Once they arrived in Beijing, the two began meeting weekly for a Bible study, and a year later Huang gave his life to Christ. This was not just a mere happening; it was by Gods arrangement.
In Ruth 2, we read that Ruth came to the part of the field belonging to Boaz (v.3). Boaz asked his servants who she was (v.5), which prompted his special consideration toward her. When Ruth asked him the reason for such kindness, Boaz replied, It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law . . . . The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you (vv.11-12).
Did the events in the lives of Ruth and Huang just happen? No, for none of Gods people can escape Gods plans to guide and to provide. Albert Lee
I know who holds the future,
And I know who holds my hand;
With God things dont just happen
Everything by Him is planned. Smith
A mere happening may be Gods design.

From G-d with Love
With Rabbi Aryeh Weinstein
We can only imagine living within a relationship in which we are constantly scared. We can never truly be yourself. Often, this is our relationship with G-d. We fear that we have done wrong, we have sinned and that we are constantly being judged by Him. Fear often dominates our relationship.
This talk will help you reshape your relationship with G-d. Through understanding how much G-d loves us even at our weakest moments, our love towards Him will grow.

The space program is officially over, but here's a mighty cool official app from NASA.
As the illustrious NASA Space Program draws to a close with the final landing of Atlantis, the Space Agency has launched an official application for Android.
The NASA App features "a huge collection of stunning images, videos, mission information and news" as well as live streaming from the NASA TV service.
The app also features current mission information and countdown clocks - although with the Space Shuttle Program on the outs, that content might be a little bit thin on the ground.
The free app also provides information on when the International Space Station will be visible in your local and you can also track the position of the ISS and other earth orbiting satellites as they pass above us.
Naturally there's social networking integration, including access to the Agency's Twitter feed and the ability to share content on your own Twitter and Facebook pages.
The app is available now for Android, iPhone and iPad and is a free download for all platforms. It looks like an absolute belter, but the timing of its launch is ironic to say the least.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the album launch gig at The Artery on May 24th. I loved every minute of it - wonderful audience, great sound (thanks to Mike Tulley), unbeatable downhome Artery atmosphere, and the band (Bob Blair, Bob Tildesley, Kirsten Elliott, Thom Golub, and Geoff Hamdon-O'Brien) was smoking hot. Jay Gilday did a killer opening set, and Jim and Penny Malmberg made my day by playing a few of their new (and impeccable, I might add) songs. I felt blessed, to say the least.
If you didn't make it out, however – whether because you were otherwise occupied or because you happen to live somewhere other than Edmonton, Alberta, Canada – you can still easily get a copy of the record if you so desire. Just go to my bandcamp site, sample some of the tracks, look at some pictures of me playing my guitar, and then order your digital and/or actual, physical copy of The Sea and the Sky. Very easy these days. If you have a particular affinity for CD Baby, it'll be available through them very soon as well.
If you are in Edmonton, feel free to simply send me an email, and perhaps we can skip out the middleman.

A few weeks ago, I linked to a video that showed Mech Mice, the project I'm working on for Rocketsnail Games. The background music was part of a larger song I was working on, and here is the finished song 1 (you can also find the song added to the Music Player).
Now, I've been giving composing advice for the last two months. Would you like to see how I used my own advice to help compose this song? (If not, just enjoy the music… if yes, click the link below.)
Still with me? Great!
The first step was to find out what type of song to make. Let's look at the Chapter 4 questions, and see how some of those questions were answered:
What message should the song convey? The most important part of this particular song was the message. It needed to tell the following story (I've included the approximate times for each part of the story):
- night falls on the Mech Mice world (0:00-0:27)
- the Mech Mice team assembles, with Nightshade doing recon (0:27-1:21)
- suddenly, the team is attacked by insects (1:22-2:10)
- team defeats insects, but is then attacked by a larger predator (2:11-2:43)
- battle ends, but war is not over (2:44-3:15)
Is it like a song that already exists? Well, I was given pretty free reign to explore musical styles. However, one thing that was mentioned was the TRON: Legacy soundtrack, with its mix of strings and electronic instruments. I'll talk more about this later.
Are there graphical elements that go along with the music? Yes. Most of the concept art that has been shown publicly for Mech Mice helped to inspire this song. Right now, you can see it at rocketsnail.com, but later it should be on the Mech Mice homepage.
What instruments make sense? TRON: Legacy used mostly electronic instruments, but had a large string section for the more dramatic moments. I decided that the best way to use this would be to have the regular orchestral instruments by themselves when the Mech Mice are only surrounded by nature, but when they are threatened or attacked, electronic instruments would come in as well. I didn't really pursue this idea very far in this song, but I'll try to add a larger electronic influence in future Mech Mice songs.
In Chapter 6, I spoke of how instruments could share the load between one another. This song is full of that. It's a little difficult to provide examples, but notice that there are very few times when the melody is played by a single instrument. Usually, there's at least one more instrument from another section backing it up.
In Chapter 7, I mention Composer's Block, and I had it a few times with this song. For instance, I couldn't think of the right melody to end the song with. It wasn't until driving home from work one day that the ending hit me. I recorded myself humming this while I was stopped at an intersection 2:
The first part is the trumpet/violin melody, and the second part is the lower string bass line.
So, I hope that gives some insight into how the song was made!
Next: Chapter 9 – MIDI Trickery
Previous: Chapter 7 – Composer's Block
- This song is owned by Rocketsnail Games. Used here with permission. ↩
- How did I record myself? I have an app on my cell phone for this, which I'll talk about in a future chapter. Oh, and never talk into a cell phone and drive at the same time. I waited until I knew I'd be stopped for enough time to do this. ↩

I have been using this for many years, but that does not mean I like this! Its complicated, I guess I was just lazy to try anything else so I kept buying this. I have much to say on this.
Flake disaster. It applies and dries to like a rubbery, latex finish material and comes off very easily in flakes and even worse, strips!!!!! Any stretch of the skin, touch, blinking throughout the day, or nothing, its cracking and everywhere. Its beautiful for a short moment. It IS waterproof though, but it will flake off before you have a chance to battle any water/moisture. Not very good for layering either, becomes easily thick, and more prone to flake off.
The colors are very nice. Black is super dark. I really like the browns from this. The applicator is thin, flexible, like a small pointy paintbrush, and oh so easy to make flicks, wings. Now that I think about it, that is why I kept buying it! I'm a horrible artist, I cannot make wings or cat eyes if my life depended on it, but I love the look! Its a good day if I get it near perfect. This can get me that shape I want.
The price is so ridiculously cheap its a steal! And it lasts forever! The quantity and the formula is just never ending. The one I have now.....wow....when did I buy that....I seriously cannot remember but Im sure a year ago, could be longer! I'll never know.
So the only bad thing is the formula, the wear of it. That's it really. As much as I have been very faithful to this, Im ready for new and better wearing eyeliners!

I love this eyeliner. Actually received it in a giveaway bag. First - about the cracking. If you apply this over powder or powder eyeshadow, yes it will not stick as well. Otherwise, it is ON THERE. Good for superfine lines or fat ones.
I have only ever had problems with it after rubbing eyes by accident, then pieces might flake off. This product - i teach multiple aerobics classes in a row and it does NOT MOVE. Huge thumbs-up.
P .S. I guess there might be "better" ones on the market but i am not sensitive or allergic to this one at all (a frequent problem), so i haven't looked for anything else.

I love this eyeliner! I keep coming back to it. It's 1 of my fave DS waterproof eyeliner. It really does stay put where it's supposed to. I buy black. I like the brush too, but I agree it's probably going to be difficult to work the brush for beginners to liquid eyeliner. All in all, I like Essence waterproof liquid black eyeliner a bit better (it has a nicer brush, stays put better, & cheaper), but they only sell that at ULTA around my region whereas the Maybelline is more widely available for me sold at nearly every DS or grocery practically.

My favorite eyeliner ever, I wear fairly large winged eyeliner every day and this is my savior. I've seen some people complain that it cracks after awhile, and yes it does but I've only noticed after 12+ hours of wearing. Definitely recommend!

I bought this liner in dark brown. First off I do like the way this product goes on. It is highly pigmented and very smooth and despite what some people seemed to experience, the brush (as opposed to marker tip) was pretty easy to use. However, that is where the good ended for me. The second I made any sort of facial expression with my eyes, it cracked. Badly. Despite the claim it is not, in my opinion, waterproof. It is very crumbly and came off with just a little water and rubbing. Also, when applying, you have to be extremely careful to not get any on your eyelashes because it is fairly runny and really sticks and makes them clumpy. I had to wipe off my eyelashes before applying my mascara. Overall, yuck. I will not buy again.

This is my holy grail liquid liner for everyday use. Its perfect for my fellow oily girls, you can wear this on its own or on top of primer and eyeshadow. This is the only liquid eyeliner that doesn't crease or run (since I do a pretty thick winged eye liner everyday). The bush takes a little practice to get the hang of but once you figure it out its a breeze.
Since this formula is waterproof if it does flake but its very minor and only happens when you are rubbing your eyes, I would rather have an eyeliner flake than smear all over my eyes. The pigmentation is very black and sets very quickly so you have to work fast. It also lasts a long time which I love.
Overall, its the best liquid liner i've ever used and i recommend everyone to use it too! Give it it a try you won't regret

The ONLY liquid eyeliner I will EVER use! I love this stuff, it's the only liquid eyeliner I have found that actually stays on, doesn't clump, and is easy to apply. It takes a little practice for anyone to use liquid eyeliner but it's easier than some of the other products out there. I have been using this for 5 years, and I will cry if they ever discontinue this.

Eyeliner is an individualized decision. Felt tip, brush, crayon, etc.? Out of habit, I always thought I preferred a brush, but at this point I don't think I mind how the formula comes as long as the quality is good. I find with felt tips, the bottle/tube will dry out quickly.
This particular product lasts a very long time, even with every day use. Which is why I added a lippie. I love the brush, the length of the brush/handle. However, all of these things as useless if the formula sucks.
The color is definitely black (not a vague greyish-black). But it is crumbly/flakey. It's noticeable after a few hours of wear and definitely when you're attempting to remove it. Think of what it's like to remove false lashes, it's basically a strip you peel off your lashes, right? That's what it's like to remove this eyeliner. You can practically peel it off. Not good. I've found this product is best used when creating a line first with a pencil and then going over it for pigment purposes with this liner. That's silly to have to use two separate products. Anyway, I don't think I'll be repurchasing. I think I'd just stick with pencil if I had to. Right now I'm working on Revlon Color Stay, which is a step up...

I've been using this liner for a few years now. I guess I kept buying it out of habit but I think it's time I stop and try something else. It comes with a brush (as opposed to the felt tip most liners have) - It took me a lot of practice to make my line look straight but I've mastered it now. In the beginning I kept smearing it all over the place but I got used to it.
- It's cheap
-Lasts quite a while
- If you mess up, wait a few seconds and you can literally wipe it off (cleanly).
-Easy to remove
-Huge color payoff - very pigmented
- Clumps easily (not sure if they all do that, though)
-Stings if it comes in contact with your eyes
-It rubs off SO easily - if your eyes water, it goes with it.
-Doesn't last very long - like I said above, it wipes off very easily. This is the most annoying part for me because if I let anything come in contact with my liner it'll rub off instantly.
-It says it's waterproof but it's not. If you dipped your head in water and let your face air dry it'd probably stay but if you let anything touch it it'll instantly rub off.
Again, it's not bad..I just think it's time for a change.

Ball on Fulham draw
by Stuart Vose
Coach reviews U21 stalemate on Wearside.
U21 coach Kevin Ball saw his side resume their campaign after the Christmas break with a hard-fought draw against Fulham.
Sunderland established an early one-goal lead through George Honeyman only to be pegged back from the penalty spot.
A defensive error then resulted in Fulham taking the lead as Wade Joyce's backpass was intercepted and converted.
However, Sunderland responded well and earned a point when Jordan Laidler struck late on.
"Game-wise I think they had more controlled possession than us but we scored two better goals," Ball said afterwards.
"The first was well-worked but then we conceded a penalty, and you think 'did we really need to?'
"For the second goal, we encourage players to play the ball out from the back and thus we have to take responsibility for that, though the players have to execute the skill themselves.
"Wade reacted well to get back on the line but the wind got hold of the ball and it's ended up in the back of the net."
He continued: "We changed things around, Nathan [Thomas] came on and worked very hard and we got our just rewards in the end.
"It was nice to see Jordan score – he smashed the ball home with a lot of confidence.
"Individually there were two or three good performances. David Ferguson did well and I thought Mikael Mandron was outstanding up front.
"He held the ball up, was a threat to them all the time and as he matures and gets stronger he'll be even better.
"We've got a lot to work on, but we have to give the team credit because they didn't allow themselves to be beaten."

Cubs would strike out seeking tourist tax money for Naples-area stadium, some Collier commissioners say
NAPLES - A representative for the groups trying to turn Collier County into a spring training hot-spot said they believe public money is still an option for attracting a team to the area.
But some Collier County officials said the group shouldn't look to them for financial support when it comes to building a spring training facility.
"With our financial situation being what it is, and tourism being such a substantial part, I can not see — in any way — taking tourism money or raising taxes even a little," said Collier County Commission Chairwoman Donna Fiala.
Gary Price, a partner in Fifth Avenue Advisors — one of two groups hoping to lure the Chicago Cubs from their Mesa, Ariz., spring training site to Collier County — said Friday there is currently no plan for how a proposed project would be funded.
Price did say the group has not ruled out the possibility of asking commissioners for some public money to help with the project.
That money would not likely come from an increase in property or sales taxes. Instead, Price said he could see a model where money from the county's tourist tax would go toward the Cubs project.
"It's the same thing I said at the press conference way back (in October)," Price said when asked about funding sources. "If there's 300,000 people coming to a baseball game, they could help fund that stadium. We'll look at any source, private and public."
The majority of spring training facilities in Florida are funded using some public money, said Nick Gandy, communications director for the Florida Sports Foundation.
Gandy said generally divert money from local taxes to the development of a stadium or spring training facility. A handful of spring training facilities — including Cracker Jack Stadium at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando where the Atlanta Braves play — are funded using private money.
The Cubs current spring training home, Hohokam Stadium at Fitch Park in Mesa, is funded entirely through taxpayer dollars, said Mesa City Manager Christopher Brady.
"The city built the stadium and built the practice fields," Brady said. "We actually operate it."
That's what would continue to happen, Brady said, if the team decided to stay in Mesa.
"We'd be putting up 100 percent of the public funds," he said. That isn't necessarily how Collier County players are pitching it, though.
"I don't know if we need (public money) or if we need to ask for it," Price said. "In the spirit of transparency, we're trying to figure out where the revenue streams are that make sense."
Price said during a press conference earlier this year he saw this project as a public-private partnership. He also said he felt the project could be a beneficiary of tourism taxes, according to an Oct. 29 Naples Daily News report.
Craig Bouchard, vice chairman of Esmark Inc., said in an e-mail Friday his company's role was "to be a lead investor in the project." He deferred to Price on all comments regarding public funding.
Commissioner Frank Halas said when he initially spoke with the group he was told they already had $100 million dedicated to the project. He said Friday he was adamantly against using public money for this project.
"That's a big 'no' with 10 exclamations point after it," he said.
No request for funding has been made, and Price said he didn't expect to make one anytime soon.
But Collier County Commissioner Fred Coyle said during a meeting Tuesday he had heard the group was looking for a 1 cent increase in the tourist tax.
The tourist tax – commonly known as the bed tax – is a 4 percent tax levied on all rental income received from accommodations rented for six months or less. The tax is levied on things like hotels, resorts, single family dwellings and condominiums that are rented for less than six months.
About 50 percent of the tax goes toward to beaches, inlets and beach parks. Money from the tax is also used to pay for marketing and supports local museums, attractions and events.
Murray Hendel, the vice chairman of the Tourist Development Council, said there were discussions earlier this year about raising the tourist tax from 4 cents to 5 cents, but a subcommittee rejected the idea.
"My subcommittee recommended we not raise the tourist tax because of the economic situation," he said.
But Hendel, who has been a vocal supporter of spring training, said that if the organization is successful in bringing the Cubs to Collier County "we will consider raising" the tourist tax.
Other commissioners also cast a shadow on such a notion.
"I thought this was going to be a private venture and wouldn't involve county government," said Commissioner Jim Coletta. "Surprise, surprise."
Coletta — along with the majority of commissioners — said he would not support an increase in the tourist tax. He did say, though, he would consider it if the request was put to a voter referendum.
Coyle echoed those comments, but said "before anything happens we need to have an outline of a deal."
That could still be a long way off. Price has said his team is operating on a 60-day timetable for when they'll have a presentation ready for the Cubs.
Bouchard said in an e-mail Tuesday that from his discussions with the Cubs he believes "they would like to make a preliminary decision in February."
"That being said this is a very important decision for their organization, so I believe they will make it when they are ready and not a day before," he went on to say.
But Brady — who was in Chicago on Friday discussing Mesa's spring training prospects — said Cubs officials have said they expect to make a decision about spring training in mid-January.
Peter Chase, a Cubs spokesman, said Friday "the club hopes to have a decision within the month of January."
Collier County Cubs boosters will have a chance to show their support for the team at 3 p.m. Jan. 16. Officials this week announced they have tentatively scheduled a rally for that day at Cambier Park.
There are no other events scheduled that day in the city of Naples, and Dave Lykins, the city's community services director, said the group should receive its permit in about 10 days.
"It has to be something the community supports and the Cubs support," Price said. "But it can't be done without the public's support."

I bought these balls because of the price , but having now tried them I am coming back for more! They are LONG and straight off the driver , Feel great off the irons and putter. I believe these balls are lower compression just what your average golfer needs to aid you to compress the ball and gain distance and control. You loose bit of spin control on short wedge shots around the green but nothing really to worry about, great all round golf ball.Why pay more?

Straight Long and Soft
By Pete
from Doncaster
Having tried many different balls over the years, this has to be the best for my game. I get good distance off the tee but it is also fantastically straight. Around the green it is as good as anything in this range and I do get back spin on full wedge shots. Just a great alround ball for average golfers

By Dave
from Oxford
Really nice ball to hit. Great value
Good value ball
Tried these as wanted a good value ball that offered good feel, spin and distance. They're certainly soft off the putter and you do get some spin off wedges. For the price you can't ask for too much more and probably about the best in its' price bracket. It is, however, no premium ball and it is a compromise on performance over cost. If you're a serious golfer you'll probably want to spend just a little more.

Aiken City Council members and staff will continue discussions today on the Northsides redevelopment and Crosland Park.
During Councils first meeting on the Citys Northside, staff and Council discussed developing a land plan, either through staff or hiring a consultant, for the entire Crosland Park area at a cost of $50,000 to $100,000, depending on the scope of the work.
Staff and Council will discuss today whether to enter into a contract with the Urban Land Institute to bring a panel of experts across the state to suggest a plan of action and make a presentation to the community. The experts would consist of engineers, landscapers and architects, who would then meet with community leaders from the Northside area.
The Urban Land Institute is a nonprofit with the primary goal to help, move and sustain communities.
The meeting is open to the public, and will start at 5 p.m. in room 204 on the second floor of the Municipal Building, located at 214 Park Ave.

A basic understanding of the principles of good design (such as contrast, unity, and balance) is the foundation for creating beautiful websites. In this course, Sue Jenkins explains design aesthetics in simple terms, and shows how to incorporate the principles of design in specific ways that improve your site. Learn how to adjust adjacent colors to add contrast, create depth with texture, incorporate movement, and use repeating shapes, patterns, and borders to unify your design. Then, in the final chapter, learn about special issues designers should address in their web layouts, such as responsive design for mobile devices, accessibility, and originality.
The sixth concept on foundational topics in web design is accessibility and exploring ways to use size and color effectively on the web. Accessibility in web design is all about making sure you design your website to be accessible and usable to the widest possible audience regardless of ability or disability. This includes people who are physically and visually impaired and maybe accessing the web using some kind of browser assistive device. As a result, this demographic requires special consideration when it comes to design.
Several demographic groups fall under the accessibility umbrella, each requiring slightly different design solutions involving size and color. Whether you're designing for a horizontal market or a vertical market, The size and colors you choose can make a big difference. In case you don't know what those terms mean, a vertical market is a market in which a vendor offers services or products that are specific to a particular profession, industry or group with specialized interests and needs.
Vertical markets could include bakeries, bookstores, banks, medical equipment wholesalers, legal practices, dental offices, and senior services providers. A horizontal market is a market in which a vendor offers a wide range of products and services to a broad group of customers with a variety of needs. Think of Amazon, where you can easily find coffee pots, books, fishing gear, and electronics, all vertical markets themselves, housed under the umbrella of a single provider.
The brick-and-mortar equivalent of Amazon is something like Sam's Club, Costco, or another warehouse shopping club. While accessibility isn't specifically a vertical or horizontal market, two key design issues, color and size, almost always need addressing for this demographic when creating your layouts for the web. Let's explore color first. Roughly one in 20 people have some form of color blindness, the most common type restricts the perception of orange, red and green.
Instead of colors, people will see a single hue such as yellow with gridations and tint shade and tone. This means that if you use these colors, you will need to allow for enough contrast between them so each object or text block is visually distinct. The second kind of color blindness effects the same percentage roughly 1 to 5% of males and 0.1% of females. And it has the same general shift in color that you see here in this diagram. The third type of color blindness Tritanopia, effects 0.003% of males and females so it's actually quite rare.
But, as you can see with the diagram, It's affecting the perception of yellow and orange and even some reds. greens are almost all but gone. So all they really see is tints of like, reds and pinks, a little bit of green and some blues, no yellows. Contrast by itself is also a bit of an accessibility issue. Once you've selected a color palette for your design, you should check that there is enough contrast between the font color and the background to ensure your visitors can actually read your text.
While a low contrast design on the left might look beautiful to you, someone with color blindness or low vision may not even be able to see the text. In fact, contrast must be a certain ratio to ensure detection. The ratio for AA compliance is 4.5 to 1, and for AAA compliance, the ratio should be at least be seven to one. There's a really great contrast tool to check color text against background color on this website.
While we're on the topic of online tools, you can also find a full set of color simulation tools on the University of Minnesota's Accessibility website shown here. Okay, let's shift to the topic of size now. Small fonts in the 10 to 14 pixel range used to be the norm for paragraph text. Today however, with increased global awareness of accessibility issues, paragraph text is often set a little bit larger In the equivalent of the 14 to 16 pixel range. This is great news for everyone really since big easy to read to read text is easier on everyone's eyes.
Its also great for two other reasons. First, with the prevalence of touch enabled devices, big text and big buttons are far easier to tap. Second and more importantly, visitors with low vision like seniors have an easier time maneuvering through a website when the content is clearly labeled and easy to see. In addition to vision issues, according to the National Institute on Aging, seniors may also have to work harder than younger folks to do things like process information, draw inferences and focus on important new information without being distracted by irrelevant details.
Knowing this information, as designers, we can make certain modifications to our designs to assist everyone, including seniors, with reading and interpreting the content in our design. For instance, you can size your text and headings to be larger. You can break up your content into smaller bite size pieces. And you can make your buttons bigger with lots of white space around them, so they're easier to click or tap. Once more if you use scalable font units such as m's or percentages in your css your text will scale proportionality should any user zoom in with their browsers.
For further information on accessibility resources for designers here are a few sites you may want to explore including Web Aim and the World Wide Web consortiums, web accessibility initiative websites. Accessibility in web design is all about making sure your website is accessible and usable to the widest possible audience. By making a few minor adjustments to your elements, sizes and colors you can easily meet the needs of every site visitor.

Liverpool starlet Nathan Burke has spoken of his pride at being involved in the forthcoming three-peak challenge which Academy members will undertake in memory of Stephen Packer.
Stephen was a promising Liverpool U9 player, who sadly lost his brave battle with cancer in November 2012.
A huge Reds fan, he made a big impression on everyone he encountered at the Academy due to his happy nature and willingness to learn.
As a fitting tribute to the youngster, club representatives, including Burke and his U18s teammate Jordan Rossiter, will complete a demanding 25-mile hike on May 23.
Their plan is to raise vital funds for Alder Hey Children's hospital in Liverpool in memory of Stephen.
You can donate via JustGiving by clicking here>>
"I became involved with the challenge because it's for such an important cause," Burke told Liverpoolfc.com.
"We'd just love to get more sponsorship and we're asking people if they can chip in for our three-peak challenge.
"Stephen's passing was a tragic event and everyone at the club just wants to help out.
"I've never done anything like this before but I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't done any particular training for it, but we train here at the Academy every day. I'll be going to the gym when the event draws closer.
"Everyone should donate if possible because it's a great cause and it's important that we take part in the challenge."
In April this year, Steven Gerrard pledged his full support to the fundraiser.
"The club are never going to forget young Stephen and his family," said the skipper.
"Of course the club are going to be there as a support network for his family, moving forward - and so are the players. If there's anything we can do to support that, we're glad to help.
"It was very sad news that touched everyone's heart. We wish the Academy lads well with their project and if there's anything we can do to support it, we're available."
You can donate online or via text; click here to give your sponsorship or text SPAC93, followed by the amount that you want to give, to 70070. For example, if you want to send £5, you text SPAC93 £5 to 70070.

The food is very fresh, and you can have grilled chicken or beef in your burritos. I ask for double grilled chicken and black beans and the burrito is so big it makes two meals. It is a very small place just for takeout, hence the average atmosphere rating, but the people who own it and work there are very nice people.

An above-average Mexican meal. We ordered the enchiladas and chalupas (and liked the chalupas a bit better), as well as medium sized rice, beans and guac. A medium size side is enough for two people, and we each had one enchilada and one chalupa and were very satisfied. Very good food, especially for the price.

Students nominated to service academies
HUNTINGTON -- Four area students were recently nominated by U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for appointments to the military service academies.
The nomination is the first step in the highly competitive process for receiving an appointment to one of the academies. A nomination does not guarantee appointment.
The local students nominated for the Air Force Academy include Quentin Buckley, Poca High School; Jon Massile, Point Pleasant High School; and David "Jonah" Sneeringer, Winfield High School.
Kelsie Burns from Huntington High School was nominated for the Military Academy at West Point.
"I am so honored to recommend 34 of our state's brightest young men and women to the U.S. service academies," Manchin said. "All of our students worked hard to earn these nominations and are determined to serve our country and some are striving to carry on their families' proud military heritage as well.
"A nomination to one of these service academies is such an honor because these institutions are developing the next generation of military leaders."

I was wondering if anyone out here some good articles on the subject of vane pass in centrifugal pumps that you could share.
Speaking from my own personal experience, when vane pass is present the pump is operating in an unstable area of the pump curve. At least 75% of the time it is due to suction issues, the other 25% is resonance of base/pump, loose bolts, or discharge related hydraulic problems. You will need a pump curve for your pump
pressure readings on suction and discharge
temperature of product
motor hp and rpm
specific gravity and viscosity of product
Knowing these parameters will allow us to better assist you resolving your vane pass issue
Depending upon the exact design (Specific Speed, which essentially defines the geometry) the minimum unsteadiness at vane-pass may occur right at BEP or a bit to one side or the other. The specific speed also determines how steeply the unsteadiness increases on either side of the sweet spot.
At flows below BEP the unsteadiness will tend to be steered back into the pump leading to pumpset vibration. At flow above the BEP there's more of a tendency to dump the unsteadiness out the discharge, which will cause piping vibration. So, pump vibration and piping vibration do not necessarily track together.
Acoustic resonances in the system can cause a significant increase in unsteadiness. These effects depend upon sound speed, and could thus vary with temperature. Also if you have marginal NPSHA- NPSHR a bit of vapour formation can dramatically increase unseadiness at vane-pass frequency.
For "researchy" type info look for articles by U Bolleter and Elmer McKay.
Hi Alan ----
Somewhere back in the archives of the Vibe Institute - I believe in early eighties - there was a wondeful article published in the Vibe Institute Journal entitled "Vane Passing tones in centrifugal pumps" extremely well written paper, that addresses what is really a pretty complex subject.
As pointed out by others, there many possible causes of excessive vane pass vibe in a centrifugal pump, and all should be evaluated using whatever info and data is available.....however in my experience, by far the most common cause of excessive vane pass is improper location of the impeller (this is especially true when dealing with shrouded impellers) relative to the diffuser in the casing. This mislocation can be axial OR radial. If the hydraulic data checks out, then such geometry errors are about the only other choice. Wear in the diffuser and/or impeller vanes should not be ruled out either. Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss further. I think you have my contact info.
There is some good information in a thread about two years back. Go to http://maintenanceforums.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3751089011/m/5891058304.
The Foiles paper appears to have been there at one time or another but seems to have been withdrawn. He is a regular contributor to the forum so perhaps he will repost.

As junior high school students kicked off their final examinations in classrooms across Indonesia on Monday, Deputy Religious Affairs Minister Nasaruddin Umar said the government considered the Ahmadiyah issue the nation's "national exam."
"This is also the 'national exam' for the nation," Nasaruddin said during a visit to an Islamic school in Jakarta.
He said the issue posed difficulties for the country, with all related parties needing to arrive at a solution.
On Friday, a mob ransacked a mosque belonging to the minority Ahmadiyah Islamic sect in Singaparna, West java, smashing windows and breaking equipment inside. Several police officers at the scene claimed they were powerless to intervene.
Nasaruddin said the police should uphold the law and prosecute those involved in the criminal attack.
He also urged the House of Representatives (DPR) to pass the religious harmony bill into law.

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans said that the Fed will end asset purchases this year, and officials will wait until inflation is much closer to its 2 percent objective before they consider raising interest rates.
Following are the minutes of the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee meeting that concluded on Jan. 29.
Half a century after the Civil Rights Act committed the federal government to narrowing the racial divide, black Americans are still being left behind.
As the debate rages on whether an increase in the U.S. minimum wage will boost or hinder hiring, one aspect is more unambiguous. It would almost surely lift consumer spending.
The dollar gained for a seventh day against a basket of peers, the longest streak in almost a year, as revised data in a Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago index signaled greater-than-forecast strength in the U.S. economy.
Following is the text of the Chicago Fed's National Activity Index from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
Treasuries fell for the first time in three days and stocks gained after a rise in consumer spending boosted speculation that economic growth would be fast enough to allow the Federal Reserve to keep reducing stimulus.
