My name is David Collins Owuor from Kenya, a beautiful country in East Africa. I am 25 years old and currently studying in Nottingham. I have been a Compassion sponsored child for almost twenty years having gone through the Child Sponsorship Programme and the Leadership Development Programme (LDP). I am sharing my life story to proclaim the love of God through Compassion International.
My story begins in the humble slums of Kibera in Kenya. I was born to the late Mr and Mrs Otieno on the 12 February 1987. My late father was working as a peasant farmer in a tea farm in another town when I was born. During that time, my late mother had been selling second-hand clothes and vegetables which she would buy from the local market.
Life in the slums is challenging and plagued with disease, insecurity and poverty. This is the life that millions of people live and among them are so many children who are innocent, but at the same time "too small to ignore" as Wess Stafford, Compassion's President, puts it.
Living in a small room with a tiny table and a sleeping mat as the only valuable things in our house, my mother never stopped struggling to support me. My father could barely afford bus fare to visit us and the little he earned was never enough to sustain us. Years later, my parents decided to move from the Kibera slums to Kangemi, another slum in the western part of Nairobi where my Compassion story begins.
When I joined a Compassion project, I got to attend school for the first time and got to hear about Jesus on Saturdays at the church centre. I gave my life to Christ having been richly blessed by the worship. Over the years, my school fees were paid for and my textbooks and uniform were supplied by Compassion. Through the sponsorship, I was able to primary and secondary school. I did well in my final examinations and later joined the Leadership Development Programme (LDP) in 2006. I was sponsored to study a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Technology at the University of Nairobi.
In my four years as an LDP student, not only did I gain an education, but I was also given the opportunity to develop into a young Christian leader. Compassion organised seminars and conferences in which other LDP students could meet from all over the country. We learnt important Biblical principles, mentorship and counselling, listened to renowned Christian leaders and participated in missions. The missions trained us to go into the community preaching the love of Christ. We built houses and schools in the communities, prayed with so many hurting people and even delivered so many to Christ. LDP was the highlight of my life in Compassion. I am currently an LDP alumni and cherish all the blessed times I had as a young student. I graduated from LDP last year.
My father passed on in the year 2000 from AIDS leaving my mother, my three siblings and I. My mother was also infected and died in the year 2009. I am thankful to Compassion for the care and support they offered my mother and my family during that hard time. Compassion bought medication for my mother and bought her food supplements while she was ill. They provided food for my family during the hard time. My mother passed on while I was in the LDP programme and the support I was getting helped to support my younger siblings. Being the oldest of my siblings, I was charged with the responsibility of taking care of my brothers and sisters at a tender age and I could not have done it without the sponsorship.
The degree I undertook at university was motivated by the death of my father. It hurt me to know that so many people are suffering from many diseases. The whole continent of Africa suffers from the effects of disease. I wanted to do a course that would help me give back to my community in a big way. I wanted to be a scientist involved in research and participating in developing vaccines and drugs to combat the many diseases in Africa and the rest of the world. It is the same passion that encouraged me to apply for a scholarship to pursue further studies.
I am currently studying a science course at the University of Nottingham and involved in high level research. I am dealing with drug design and vaccine studies of the major diseases. I applied for a Commonwealth Shared Scholarship last year and started a one year Master's degree in September 2011. I am really enjoying my studies and thankful to the Lord for all He has done in my life. Looking back to the young boy who first arrived at the Compassion office in Kenya, having no clue of what lay ahead, I bless the Lord for how far He has taken me.
Compassion seeks to release children from poverty in Jesus' name. My life story is a true testimony of what the Lord can do in the lives of millions of children all over the world when His people decide to be a blessing to others. Compassion International is one such avenue through which God works to bless the world. I always talk about Compassion and sponsorship wherever I am. My desire is to see more children being released from poverty through the great work of Compassion. I am humbled to speak about this great family and will always love to share my story to tell the world the goodness of God. I am blessed to be an advocate for the children! On behalf of all the sponsored children out there, I am sending a big thank you to everyone committed to blessing a life all over the world.
My future plans are to complete my studies and return to my country. I was volunteering as a researcher at an institution in Kenya. I would like to go back to continue my research in AIDS, malaria and other major diseases. I would love to sponsor children on my own. I am currently supporting my younger siblings and when I start working, I will commit to be sponsoring Compassion children.
Matthew 14:14 "When Jesus saw a large crowd gathered, He had Compassion on them".

We provide an academic solution for 70 students a year. The best way to prepare students for life in the adult world is to give them a sense of adult responsibilities. That requires special resources focused on providing academic, social and emotional training to address the needs of gifted or challenged students that aren't always met in traditional high schools.
The Plaza Academy removes the barriers that elicit oppositional or rebellious behaviors and builds genuine enthusiasm for learning. We do this by encouraging our students to be socially and academically responsible while monitoring and guiding their progress. Of those students, approximately half are gifted or talented, some having learning disabilities and others have outgrown traditional academic environments.
Family involvement is an essential element of the learning process. Parent conferences insure that students and parents understand our curriculum. Progress reports play a motivational role by helping students understand and fulfill their academic and social responsibilities. Their progress is monitored and reported to parents daily,providing them with an ongoing record of their teen's accomplishments.
Counseling services provide for the needs of parents and students alike. This ongoing personal attention improves our students' responses to schoolwork and helps them communicate their successes to their parents. Our counseling program encourages families to participate in their teenager's learning about their roles in school, at home and in the community.
Classwork is the core of The Plaza Academy education. Our Liberal Arts program prepares students for the rigors of university coursework and our social milieu prepares them for adulthood. Class sessions of 50 minutes are divided into thirds: lecture, a group exercise and a tutorial session comprise each class. This daily tutoring allows us to teach to each student's academic ceiling.
Teachers at The Plaza Academy are state certified and have completed internships in special education. Our staff is selected based on their scholarship, mastery of their content areas and their demonstration of patience, empathy and commitment to the education of teenagers.
Adolescent group counseling covers topics that range from current events to activities that encourage critical thinking and debate. As our teens mature, they become confident public speakers as they participate in this weekly activity.
Educational success awaits those who are discouraged in traditional schools. Teenagers discover a comfortable educational environment wherein their peers are enthusiastic about learning, they are supportive of their teachers and they embrace the mission of the school.
The Plaza Academy's curriculum, as well as the performance of our students, has been praised by the media and the scientific community. The Plaza Academy has appeared on the cover of the Kansas City Business Journal, and featured in Corporate Report, Kansas City Live, The Kansas City Star, and Sun newspapers.
We are Accredited by AdvancEd

Heavy vehicle accident deaths fall in Tasmania as part of national trend
- From: Mercury
- July 04, 2014
TASMANIA is following a national trend in which the number of fatal accidents involving heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses has fallen in the past decade.
The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics today released a crash statistics report on road trauma involving heavy vehicles.
The report shows annual fatalities from crashes involving trucks and buses in the past decade fell from 281 to 189.
And the number of annual deaths from crashes involving a heavy vehicle decreased by 32.7 per cent between 2003 and last year.
Vehicle occupants (driver or passenger) accounted for 74.5 per cent of fatalities from crashes involving a heavy vehicle.
The remainder were pedestrians (14 per cent), motorcyclists (8.2 per cent and pedal cyclists (2.7 per cent).
Of the vehicle occupants killed, 71.5 per cent were light vehicle occupants and 28.5 per cent were in the heavy vehicles.
Most of the fatal accidents occurred on state and national highways and most were head-on collisions.
The statistics show the number of deaths from crashes involving heavy vehicles in Tasmania peaked in 1990, when 13 incidents involving articulated vehicles were recorded.
This fell to just two last year.
There were five deaths from crashes involving heavy rigid vehicles in 2010 while none were recorded last year.
Tasmania recorded five deaths involving a bus in 2001, but, again, none were recorded in 2013.

Omdurman, Sudan, a city directly opposite Khartoum, the national capital, where the White Nile and Blue Nile rivers join to form the Nile. Major economic activities are the processing and shipping of cotton and grain. The College for Arabic and Islamic Studies and the tomb of Mohammed Ahmed, who claimed to be the Mahdi (Muslim messiah), are here.
Omdurman was founded as a camp in 1884 by the Mahdists, who were revolting against Turko-Egyptian rule. The city was taken by Lord Kitchener in 1898 shortly before the revolt ended.

We moved to Mesquite in September 2011. It is a beautiful town and we love the mountains and the mesas. When we first moved here we were so busy we didn't have time to really get a feel for the town of Mesquite. I kept hoping I would, I met so many nice people. Everyone was friendly and helpful but I still could not get a feel for the town.
Saturday we went to the Veterans Day Parade. It was really nice and so many people lined Mesquite Boulevard. As I watched the people with all the children and babies I started to feel more like part of Mesquite.
"It's just like home," I said to myself.
I had lived in Kansas my whole life until 2008 when I moved to California to get married after losing my husband of 46 years in Kansas. The man I married in California was also from Kansas. We had grown up together from grade school, but he had lived in California since 1967.
When the parade started off with our flag everyone was standing and putting their hand over their heart just like the farming community in Kansas that I grew up in. I felt warmth I had not felt for a long time. As the parade progressed I almost cried to see the high school bands, the Shriner units from Las Vegas, Boulder City and other cities.
I remembered my first husband being a Shriner back in Kansas. He had a little scooter just like the ones in they had in this parade and we would go to even smaller communities than where we lived so they could ride in parades. Not only do Shriners do a lot of good for the Children's Hospital they fund but they (also) have a lot of fun. It was so great to see the bands, even Las Vegas High School came, and the veterans marching, the candidates for office and just too many other groups to mention. All are honorably mentioned.
I have never really understood the value of a parade but I definitely understand it now. People getting together to honor our veterans and to participate in an event where everyone is part of the town and part of the parade whether you are in it or just watching it.
It was a beautiful day in Mesquite and I feel like I am part of the community now. Thank you Mesquite. You are a wonderful town with a lot of really wonderful, caring people. I am proud to be part of this community.
We are getting ready to go back to Emporia, Kan., this week to our high school reunion. They are having it on Nov. 10, which is the (day before the) official Veterans Day. The reason being Emporia started Veterans Day. It used to be Armistice Day honoring WWI veterans. Someone in Emporia went to the legislature and got it changed to Veterans Day honoring all veterans. That is our "claim to fame" in Emporia. We will be sure and tell everyone how nice Mesquite honored its veterans.
Thanks to all who participated in the parade. It is a lot of work organizing a parade and everyone did a great job.

Lesson 5
Is There Hope for Human Survival?
The world changed forever in 1945. That year, with the detonations of atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, man for the first time demonstrated the frightening potential to destroy all human life. Since then our weapons have grown far more powerful and threatening.
As we will see in this lesson, many of these threats to human survival play prominent roles in prophecies in the Bible.
What's Inside....
Many threats to human survival play prominent roles in prophecies in the Bible.
As we will see in this lesson, many of these threats to human survival play prominent roles in prophecies in the Bible.
Many people assume that Bible prophecy is all bad news. But the Bible is also clear that both bad news and good news lie ahead.
Humankind has long found intriguing the idea of somehow knowing the future.
Jesus begins with a sobering warning: Do not allow yourself to be deceived! Many people are familiar with Jesus Christ's Olivet Prophecy.
Besides massive religious deception, what other conditions did Jesus Christ predict would envelop the world at the end of our age?
Jesus said that events leading up to His return would take most people by surprise. They will be like people in Noah's day who continued their daily routines thinking life would go on as usual.
Although the Bible is clear that no one will know the exact time of Christ's return, both Jesus and Paul said that Christ's followers should be able to recognize the signs leading to it.
The book of Revelation—a revealing of the future—is history written in advance.
What is the major source of the widespread spiritual blindness that prevents people from understanding God's truth?
Before Jesus Christ can transform the world through the Kingdom of God, he must first remove Satan's poisonous influence from humanity.
God in His Word gives us a broad outline and sequence of prophetic events.
The story flow of the book of Revelation.
Chapter Outline of the Book of Revelation
What was Jesus Christ's purpose? Why did He come to earth? Why will He come again?
A brief summary of definitions for words used in this lesson.
These questions are intended as a study aid, to spur further thought on the concepts discussed in this lesson and to help you apply them on a personal level.

My name is Jason. I'm originally from S.L.C., Utah. I moved to the Bay Area a year ago to pursue a career in photography. I have been behind the lens most of my life as a hobby, now it's time to make a living at it.
My passion is landscape, scenery and architecture. I also love shooting in B&W and macro. Though I am still "technically" an amateur, I am confident that in a beautifully staged event, or in a natural outdoor setting, I can take some great photos.
I love, and take great pride in what I do, and it shows in my work. As a wedding photographer, my goal is not to simply document the occasion, but capture the moments of one of the happiest, and most memorable days in a couple's life.
I have some creative editing software, though I'm proud to say that the majority of my photos need little, if any, retouching.
I am also available to shoot head shots/portraits, products, and clothing/fashion.
I hope to hear from you soon.

I really hate scales of all kinds: math scales, voice scales, food scales… and the worst offender, body weight scales. As a dietitian practitioner, they are necessary to gather information and to use as a reference point, but as an indicator of progressive fitness levels, they completely suck! (Just sayin').
Here's what happens: you start a goal to live better, eat cleaner, exercise harder, and along that process, you vow to love that amazing body that keeps you going every day. You are dedicated, committed, you stay focused, you move more, and then you step on the damn scale, and it doesn't move one tiny ounce from the week before, and even worse, it moves up a notch. Do you give up, throw in the towel, get mad, blame food and gyms, and say every naughty word you learned as a child? Most likely, you choose at least two or all of the above reaction. Well…DON'T.
Here's the thing. We have heard it a hundred times, but I am here telling you again: scales are not a good indicator of your progressing fitness level. The best way to ascertain improvement is using your own internal indicators:
- Do you feel better?
- Do your clothes fit looser?
- Are your endorphins kicking in to provide some extra energy and happiness?
- Are your muscles tighter and slightly sore?
- Do you feel like "a job well done" at the end of the day?
- Are you striving to be your personal best?
- Are you accomplishing your goals and loving yourself along the way?
When you can say yes to some of these, you are progressing, and THAT is the key.
It's common knowledge that muscle weighs more than fat, so why don't we believe it when we are striving to build muscle weekly, and then we step on the scale and we have a mini freak-out because it goes up a bit, or stays the same?
Okay…so bottom line, DON'T LET THE SCALE BE YOUR GUIDE. For anyone monitoring your weight loss/gain goals, use it as a reference frame only. Listen to your body and get in touch with how you feel. Your heart and does not care if you lost a pound last week, but it does care that you are working it out and feeding your body awesome food to keep it pumping for a long, long time.

Utah Jazz's 3-point shooting is arc nemesis
Ravell Call, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — With a 10-5 start, not much has gone wrong for a Utah Jazz team picked to be among the worst in the NBA this year by some experts.
Besides winning two-thirds of their games thus far, the Jazz are outrebounding their opponents, committing fewer turnovers, have more assists and steals and are shooting a better field goal percentage than their opponents.
Well, there is one place the Jazz aren't doing so hot.
Three-point shooting.
The Jazz rank near the bottom of the NBA in three 3-point categories and are shooting their worst percentage as a franchise in 26 seasons.
That's right, you have to go back to 1985-86 to find a time when the Jazz shot less than 30 percent from 3-point range as they are now at 28.6 percent.
Jazz coaches and players are well aware of the difficulty, but aren't so sure it matters that much, at least for the time being.
"We're just not making them right now," said Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin. "We're concerned but not that concerned because we don't want to go out looking for a lot of 3-point shots. We want to attack the basket first and go inside out."
So far that strategy has worked well for the Jazz, who are relying on the inside play of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, who average 18.3 and 16.6 points per game, respectively. Their third-leading scorer is another inside player, newcomer Josh Howard, who averages 10.7 points per game.
But just think how good the Jazz could be if they could make a few more 3-pointers every game.
Through their first 15 games, the Jazz rank second-to-last in the NBA in 3-point attempts with 12.8 per game. That's just half as many per game as league-leader New Jersey and more than only one team, Memphis. The Jazz are also third-to-last in 3-point makes per game (3.7) and fourth from the bottom in 3-point shooting percentage.
Utah's lack of firepower from 3-point range shouldn't be too surprising, considering that the franchise has let three of its all-time best 3-point shooters go in the last two years.
First to go was Kyle Korver, who set an NBA record in 2009-10 with a 53.6 percentage from behind the arc, leaving via free agency for Chicago. Then last season, the Jazz traded Deron Williams, who sank more than 500 treys in six Jazz seasons, making 35 percent of them. Earlier this year, the Jazz traded Mehmet Okur, who was a reliable 3-point shooter for six seasons here, making 38 percent, including the top two Jazz seasons for 3-point makes.
The top 3-point shooter for the Jazz this year is Raja Bell at 35.5 percent, followed by Devin Harris at 31.1 percent and C.J. Miles at 30 percent. Gordon Hayward, who set a Jazz rookie record and produced the third-best 3-point percentage in Jazz history last year at 47.3 percent on 35-of-74 shooting, is struggling from long range this year with just 9-of-34 for 26.5 percent.
"For me, it's rushing shots a little bit and I'm not shooting with confidence," Hayward said. "Right now they're just not falling, but I'm going to continue to shoot them. I put a lot up every day in practice and they usually go in, so I'll just keep shooting and they'll go down eventually."
Jazz assistant coach Jeff Hornacek, who made 40.3 percent of his 3-pointers in his NBA career, including an astounding 47.8 percent his final season at Utah in 1999-2000, believes it's not a huge deal that the Jazz are among the league's lowest when it comes to 3-pointers. He said he remembers when he played for Phoenix and his team averaged 120 points a game, yet didn't shoot many 3s.

Today's news is the first revision of tomorrow's history. Times Past provides a look back on past events through the pages of the Standard-Times as a way for us to examine the events that have helped shape the news of today.
Five years ago
May 31, 2007
The Beach Rose Caf├® opened in Wickford Village at 85 Brown Street. The caf├® replaced the old Waterfront Grille that closed in January 2007.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The South Kingstown Partnership for Prevention came before the South Kingstown Town Council Tuesday evening, requesting the use of the town seal on new signage to be voluntarily posted in establishments serving alcohol.
Perry Raso, of the Matunuck Oyster Bar, asserted that he would post signs in his restaurant.
Raso, along with South Kingstown Police Capt. Jeff Allen and New Life Assembly Pastor Keith McNamar represented the SKPP.
NARRAGANSETT—Town officials met with representatives from Horsley Witten Group, a professional and environmental services firm based in Massachusetts who was hired by the town in January to conduct the update of its Comprehensive Plan. The current Plan, drafted in 1999, details information about the town, such as housing and open-space development, land-use, and economic development, which have a direct impact on decision-making in Narragansett.

I wrap my meat in foil after putting the appropriate seasoning on the meat and stick it in my George Foreman grill. I also spray the foil with Pam for non stick cooking. the allows for quick clean up and moist flavorful meat.
Line your drip pans with aluminum foil to keep them clean. (Make sure to open up the hole in the right rear pan for the exhaust from the oven.) If a pot overflows, wait until it has cooled for several hours then just replace the foil. Much easier than replacing the entire drip pan! Great idea for dorm kitchens, apartments, shared living spaces, etc.
Alcan has this new (?) aluminum foil that is built with a slippery side called "Slide". Best thing EVER! Sweet potato fries don't stick to it, no oil or spray needed, and clean-up is instant! And aluminum foil can be recycled. I'm going to start using it for everything I generally cook on or over a cookie sheet.

Chambersburg >> The Department of Environmental Protection shut down a Hamilton Township tire recycler that DEP says has failed repeatedly to meet a consent order.
DEP announced Friday that it has revoked Chambersburg Tire Recycling's Waste Management Permit. The business cannot accept or process waste without the permit.
"Despite DEP's various attempts to bring Chambersburg Tire Recycling into compliance and correct the environmental issues at the property, the company failed to comply with the department's regulations and orders," DEP South-central Regional Director Lynn Langer said. "A permit revocation is the last resort, but it was necessary to bring a stop to the violations occurring."
"We've made continual progress," CTR owner David Shindledecker said. "We feel we've saved the taxpayers $4 million at our expense. We did it without a government grant. We've made steady progress, not as much as they want."
Shindledecker said DEP wants a larger bond for the operation. DEP also is trying to dissuade him from applying for a permit, under another company, to convert tires to oil.
CTR, located at 2196 Letterkenny Road, was founded in 2006 to cleanup a pile of waste tires on the site. The pile was ranked among Pennsylvania's five largest tire piles. The number of tires in the pile have been estimated from 750,000 to more than 1 million.
The late Myron Young had stockpiled the tires since the 1980s in hopes of turning them over to a rubber recycling plant in Chambersburg. Neighbors worried increasingly about vermin and mosquitos that breed in tires and carry West Nile virus.
Young's son-in-law Robbie Eyer started the business of shredding the tires. CRT made and sold mulches. By April 2008 the tire pile was gone from the property, but a year later a new pile was growing as CRT was accepting more tires than it processed.
DEP estimates that the CTR property has 780 tons of waste materials, including waste tires, waste tire beads, waste tire wire and treads.
DEP's estimate is an exaggeration, according to David Shindledecker. His son, Wes Shindledecker, said the site has about 240 tons of waste, including a 150-ton pile of large truck tires from the original pile and about 89 tons of metal tire beads.
David Shindledecker said CTR's equipment cannot breakdown the huge truck tires. The tire beads are taken to the landfill a little at a time.
"This site has never looked as good," Shindledecker said.
On Dec. 5, DEP ordered CTR to properly dispose of all remaining wastes within 30 days. CTR failed to comply with the order.
David Shindeldecker said DEP delivered the order with two officers dressed in SWAT gear, an officer in plain clothes and a sheriff's deputy while he and his son were not at the plant.
"The next day I had nobody show up for work," he said. "It scared the daylights out of them."
David Shindledecker said he was surprised that DEP revoked his permit because the Environmental Hearing Board had been hearing his appeal of the disposal order.
"We've tried to negotiate with DEP," he said. "They have violated my civil rights like crazy. Right now there's nothing I can do. It's unreal."
DEP said it is evaluating remediation options which include identifying potentially responsible parties and funding.
According to DEP, Eyer partnered from 2007 to 2010 with David Shindledecker and Frank Pheasant to operate the plant, then walked away after 2010.
Pheasant said he was a silent partner who had no financial involvement in the company and held a 4 percent share. He cast the deciding vote when his two friends disagreed about company operations.
Between January 2007 and June 2010, CTR did not comply with a 2007 consent order and its permit, according to DEP.
On June 14, 2010, CTR agreed to another consent order — to reduce the number of tires at the site, to cease accepting tires during periods when the processing equipment was inoperable and to submit records to DEP detailing the number of tires imported and exported. CTR failed to comply with order.
Wes Shindledecker said CTR met all of the obligations. DEP required CTR to recycle four existing tires before accepting another. CTR disposed of seven tires for every new one.
"Since 2010 our equipment has not been inoperable," he said.
In an April 24 letter to Eyer and David Shindledecker at CRT, DEP said the company will forfeit a $38,000 bond with the Greencastle National Bank.
The company had posted the bond in 2006 to cover the cost of landfilling about 15,000 tires.
David Shindledecker said DEP in its consent order had pressed for a higher bond — $443,000, then $223,000. He said he has been "unwilling and unable" to post the bond.
"I asked why didn't they get the bond up front" in 2006 when there were more tires, David Shindledecker said.
He said he wants to keep his name clear so he can hold onto the property and so he can apply for a permit to use an emissions-free process, thermal decomposition, to convert old tires into fuel.
"Wes and I have never taken a paycheck from CTR," David Shindledecker said. "DEP is aware of that. We made a commitment to the project when we started. Just because it didn't go the way we planned, it doesn't give us the right to just bail."

A lightweight, yet versatile cook set for minimalist campers.
The Snowpeak Trek 1400 Titanium Cook Set is a lightweight, two-piece cook set that includes a pot, pan and carrying case. Corrosion-resistant titanium is super lightweight and has superior strength compared to steel. The pot holds 47 oz of fluid (over 5 cups), the lid doubles as a frying pan (5 ¾ "x 1 ½ ", 17 oz capacity), and the entire combo weighs only 7.4 oz. Each piece has a folding handle that tucks neatly away for storage. The Snow Peak Giga Power Stove [SNO0002] and fuel canister stow nicely inside the cookware for easy transport and storage. Snow Peak's focus on nesting cook sets makes this an exceptional build-as-you-go system for backpackers. Perfect for melting snow, boiling water and simple cooking.
Share your thoughts
Does anyone know if the Coleman feather 442 fits in this set? http://www.coleman.eu/Benelux/p-23735-unleaded-feather8482-stove.aspx
Yes, albeit very snugly.

'Nother Nesting Questing
Will the Whisperlite Int'l nest inside this without there being too much room? Or how bout a big ole roll o' TP?
Also, does Backcountry have the SP Trek 1400 in Al?
a whisperlite will fit in you might need to take some of the stuff out of the sack though to to get everything to fit in snug.
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I love how my pocket rocket stove and canister fit right in. great little set!
900 that nests into the 1400 with the crux and MSR fuel canister in it.
I went round and round.
I spent an evening taking different Ti pot and pan kits out of their boxes and comparing them at the REI flagship store in Seattle. I compared similar items in their brand and snow peaks. Much of the stuff I saw seemed like it was from a little girls play kitchen set. The 1400 is a great sized cook set. I finally ended up with the 1400 and then nesting the 900 inside of that, then I nested my Optimus Crux and a fuel canister inside of that. I like to fondue out in the snow when we ski or snowshoe. Both of those sets work great as a double boiler. I am very impressed with the quality of all Snow Peak products.
Poorly engineered
I'm still waiting to be impressed by Snow Peak. The pan doesn't fit on the pot as is stated, and the handles are flimsy. The bag is way too big for the set ensuring that the lid won't stay on. The whole thing just seems poorly engineered.
Spin the bag with the pot in it and it tightens up on the lid and holds the two pieces together. I loop the drawstring around the wound up bag and it holds just fine when being packed away in a pack.
Another option is get two small compression straps and cross them over the lid and tighten them down. This works extremely well when it is packed with other things inside and in the stuff sack.
I have it too...fot 2 years now. the food dont like stick! and it is easy to clean!...
Low weight, bla,bla,bla
Does anyone know if I can nest one, maybe...
Does anyone know if I can nest one, maybe two, of the Snow Peak titanium bowls in this set along with a 4 oz MSR canister and a pocket rocket?
I carry two bowls in my 1400. Litemax stove, fuel can stabilizer, lighter, a couple of mini sporks fit underneath the bowls with room for other small stuff. The fuel will fit in the bowls and I usually stuff a bandana in the bowl to keep any rattling down.
Best Cookware---Ever!
I really appreciate the options that come with this cookware. The solo kit will fit in the Ti 900, the Ti 900 will fit in the Ti 1400. The Snow Peak titanium Bowls will fit in the TI 1400. Coolness!
with gas canister
8oz msr gas canister and pot handle inside, and plenty of room for more stuff. I can fit my superfly if i put the stove on the bottom and flip the canister upside down, but this is hardly an efficient way to pack it
Snowpeak 1400 next to nalgene
To give you an idea of how big the pot is and how much can nest inside
Perfect, need to see the size next to a known item
light as it gets- graduated from the Quick 2
If you are an ultralighter, this is your cookset. I previously used the MSR Quick 2, for which (when backpacking) I never carried the cups and plates as we only ate out of the pots and draink out of our water bottles. By swithing to this set, I shed about 20oz from my packs weight.
At just over 7oz this will satisfy all backcountry cooking needs. The pot is large enough for noodles for at least 2, possibly 3 people. As stated below, keep the food moving otherwise it will stick. I recommend leaving a little water at the bottom when eating also, cause some food will stick when it cools down.
It's described as holding 47oz, I would say subtract a little if you are boiling to leave room for the water boiling over. With a Superfly cranked on high, no wind, water boiled in about 4 minutes.
The lid serves not only as a lid but as a fry pan (albeit small) and plate. The handle on the pan never got too hot touch. I never had a problem with the handles on the pot either, although using a pot lifter would alleviate the problem (the MSR potlifter weights 1oz and fits inside).
What else fits inside...other than the snowpeak 900 and 700 series, the pot will hold an 8oz gas canister, the MSR pot lifter, and the Superfly stove (though this stove doesn't nest well- would consider the pocket rocket or giga stoves for better nesting).
Pot set is very ease to clean, just run some water or wipe it out.
For years to come
And It light like a feather
fire on dry grass?
Cook with care
I like my Snowpeak Trek 1400 Titanium Cook Set But most of my meals are Boil and add.
Care must be used when cooking, the thickness and the Fact titanium doesn't spread the heat very well.
Keep the food moving or suffer.
Does anyone know if the Coleman Exponent...
Does anyone know if the Coleman Exponent Multi-Fuel stove will nest in this diametrically, if not height-wise?
Nope, both too tall and too wide. The outside diameter on the 1400 pot itself is 5.5" and the height w/lid is 5.9". You probably already have the dimensions for the Exponent, but for the sake of anyone else who might want to know: 5.5x5.5x8.2"
Like the taste of scorched?
This set is very light, and was the perfect size for two people, however it's so thin that we had to work very carefully to avoid scorching our food, which usually was impossible to avoid. Have you ever spent 2 weeks in the Alaskan backcountry eating scorched couscous? I don't recommend it. I wish this set had a thicker bottom. It was impossible to get the scorched crust off the bottom of the pots as well.
Titanium does not conduct heat evenly, and also like you said, it is thin, so it is not a good choice for frying stuff in. Ti's best use it to boil water and to be light weight and pretty durable.
I have been cooking with Ti pots for the last 12 years and doing fine. Scorching will occur if I crank the stove to the max and then let it sit there. Admittedly pancakes (which I only tried once, car camping) are a challenge. As for cous-cous I boil the water, add the dry cous-cous, mix and then let SIT (no more cooking) for 10 minutes or so, covering the pot with a fleece or something to keep the heat in. Never had scorched cous-cous.
Some of what fits into the Trek 1400
Inside the Trek 1400 is a Trek 900, Snow Peak double walled 600 mug, single walled 400 mug, and even a Snow Peak Litemax.

Overview of the CurrentContext[Categories] Subpackage
Calling Sequence
The Categories subpackage allows you to control the appearance of section delimiters in a top-level context-sensitive menu.
Frequently, context-sensitive menus group related concepts into distinct sections or categories within a menu. A category is an association between a menu entry and a name (the category) that allows menu entries with identical categories to be grouped together when displayed in a context-sensitive menu.
Using the Categories subpackage you can:
- Set or change the category for a given menu entry with the Categories[Set] command.
- Find the category associated with a menu entry with the Categories[Get] command.
- List all currently-defined categories with Categories[List].
Each command in the Categories subpackage can be accessed by using either the long form or the short form of the command name in the command calling sequence.
As the underlying implementation of the Categories subpackage is a module, it is also possible to use the form Categories:-command to access a command from the subpackage. For more information, see Module Members.
List of Categories Subpackage Commands
The following is a list of available commands.

It isn't cold anymore. I wear sandals on weekends. But tonight, there was a chill in the air as I walked the never-ending walk to my train station. I walked past a local woman burning paper and wood in a metal container, as is the perplexing custom here. She stoked the fire with a long iron rod and there it was - Delhi.
The smell of burning wood, its warmth against my bare leg and the cool wind in my face. That is all it took for me to be 15 again, for me to be standing outside my block, next to the tired security guards and their dying fire, for me to be waiting for the 7.15 bus to take me to school. And I longed for that time, some more of that time, so much that I almost choked on my duty-free cigarette.
I am so removed, so distant from those days but I still can't help going back. But you can't go back. Even when you do. It is never the same again. Sometimes, when I visit Delhi and drive around in a car, I get glimpses of the place that used to be, the place that still lives in my heart. A wide road lined with trees, a man with a cart selling peanuts and yellow popcorn. The bright orange of the setting sun, bringing alive the film of sand hovering over the city. The gurbani heard from a rooftop, the smell of aloo-tikkis. But it is never complete. I can't replicate something that existed ten years ago. Something that existed only for me. I still seek out the omelet-sandwich man when I go back and the damn omelet never tastes the same.
And so I am stuck in-between. Forever longing for the place that doesn't exist anymore, never satisfied with where I am now. I treat these new streets so carelessly, tottering around on Tuesday nights, and yet I worry that when I leave them, they will bring me more despair. I know myself, I will sit in another new city and look back on tonight and wonder if it's possible to do it again. As if everything in life is open to negotiation. As if there's a from-the-top option.
Maybe I'm rambling, maybe I shouldn't listen to The Cure so much, maybe I just prefer living in my head. It makes me sad but it also makes reality more bearable, in a twisted way. I have always been an advocate of escapism, of wanting something you know you can't have just so that what you have doesn't hurt you as much. Or maybe I enjoy pain, just as long as it's of my own choosing.
We can't stand being told what to feel.

As the team bus pulled into the United Center, Lightning coach Jon Cooper found himself back in a familiar routine, taking in the sounds and looking at the sights he observed in June when his team was playing in the Stanley Cup Final against the Blackhawks.
However Cooper noticed one thing was different — the rug in the coach's room.
"They put new rug in the coach's room so that was nice of them," Cooper said the Corey Crawford and the Hawks blanked his team 1-0 with Jonathan Toews goal 17 seconds into overtime on Saturday night. "It changes the atmosphere a little bit."

"Those basement videos tell why those two murderers were going to do this crime, how they were going to do it, and when they were going to do it," Rohrbough said at a news conference held outside the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office on Friday. Friday was the eighth anniversary of the Columbine shootings. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office will not release the tapes in part out of the fear of copycat murders. "(The tapes) were actually reaching out as a call to arms to other kids or people who felt the same way (as Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) and this is how (other people) should act," said Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink. Last year, Mink decided to release a huge amount of previously undisclosed documents used as part of the investigation, but he decided he would not release the basement tapes. The tapes were made by Harris and Klebold in the weeks leading up to the 1999 shootings at Columbine. Mink says the release of Seung-Hui Cho's videos and pictures this week by NBC has led him to believe he didn't err in his decision. In fact, he said on Friday, "It makes me even more convinced that I made the right decision in not releasing the Columbine tapes." Rohrbough says that is simply a terrible mistake. "(The tapes are) the best information we have to identify the threat," he said. He also criticized the recent decision by federal Judge Lewis Babcock to keep the depositions of the parents of the Columbine killers sealed for the next 20 years. Babcock, in his decision, also worried the release of the depositions could lead to a copycat crime. Harris' and Klebold's parents have never publicly told their story, a decision that has deeply upset many parents of the Columbine victims. Rohrbough and Rich Petrone (stepfather to Columbine victim Dan Rohrbough) angrily disagreed with Babcock's decision on Friday. "We need help!" cried Petrone, acknowledging an appeal of Babcock's decision is possible yet potentially too costly to go forward with.

Full programme of competition car entries and logistics support for 2006 Festival
GOODWOOD, UK, 7-9 July, 2006 Ford Motor Company's sponsorship of the Goodwood Festival of Speed continues this year with a major programme of support to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first Ford GT40 victory at Le Mans.
Ford has entered several cars on the historic hillclimb. In the Supercar category, a Ford GT will be piloted by several selected drivers including Roelant de Waard, Ford of Britain's Chairman and Managing Director, and Jost Capito, Director of Ford Team RS.
De Waard, an enthusiastic amateur racing driver, said: "This is my first opportunity to attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which has always been a very important event for Ford, and one in which the company plays a leading role. The chance to drive the new GT up the hill, almost exactly 40 years after the original GT40 achieved that legendary Le Mans victory, is extremely exciting."
Tribute to 1966 Ford 1-2-3 at Le Mans
An original GT40, reconfigured by Ford to represent the 1966 Le Mans-winning machine, is also entered. It has been prepared as a tribute to the drivers and teams that took the GT40 to four successive Le Mans victories, and will be seen in its black and silver livery for the first time at the Festival. It was in 1996 that Ford scored its historic 1-2-3 victory with the three GT40s crossing the finishing line in formation at the end of the race.
Two of the victorious drivers will be at the Festival to take it up the hill - Dan Gurney, whose victory came in 1967 when he partnered AJ Foyt in a Mk. IV version, and Jackie Oliver, who partnered Jacky Ickx for the GT40's fourth consecutive win in 1969.
Marcus Grönholm and the Ford Focus RS WRC
Goodwood's Forest Rally Stage has been substantially revised this year. Ford will be represented by a 2006 World Rally Championship Focus for Marcus Grönholm, who has scored three WRC victories in the Focus this year, and his team-mate Mikko Hirvonen. The Ford Focus RS WRC will also be driven on the Goodwood hillclimb.
Puma Motorsport, the Ford team's racewear supplier, has generously donated five pairs of Puma overalls to be provided for lucky passengers in the Focus at Goodwood. During the Festival the overalls will be signed by as many rallying and racing stars as possible and auctioned in aid of the Richard Burns Foundation, formed to raise money for and awareness of the fight against illness and injury, particularly in the areas of cancer and road injury.
As usual, there will be many privately entered Ford and Ford-powered competition cars at the Festival, including Roush Technologies' 1999 Trans-Am Mustang, a 1981 Zakspeed Capri, an RS 200, Escort RS 1600 & 1800, a Sierra Cosworth - even a Ford Transit! In the Grand Prix classes, Ford-Cosworth engines will power more cars than engines from any other manufacturer.
Ford Transit in support and on show
As in previous years, Ford is supplying the Festival organisers with a large number of Transit and Ranger vehicles for use by marshals and officials around the Festival site. A new long wheelbase Transit will also be provided for a special feature in the highly popular Junior Festival of Speed. Over the weekend, a team of skilled graffiti artists from the Brighton-based "Rare Kind" company will decorate the Transit with iconic images from the Festival - the cars, the stars, the bridges, Goodwood House, the entertainment, and so on.
The Earl of March, on whose Goodwood Estate the Festival of Speed takes place each year, said: "Our work in putting on the Festival is made easier by the assistance of our sponsors who provide logistical support. Ford has always been particularly helpful with the loan of Transit Minibuses, Rangers, and four-wheel drive vehicles. I'm delighted that this year they are also providing a brand new Transit as a 'canvas' for the imaginative work of the Rare Kind artists - I'm sure the results will be fascinating and spectacular!"

Fawn Grove is the new owner of the local school district's wastewater treatment plant.
After years of discussion, the borough council and the South Eastern School Board recently reached an agreement on the sale of the plant.
The borough will take over operations at a cost of $1 for 99 years. In return, the South Eastern district will pay a minimum of $50,000 per year to the borough. Costs will be adjusted after two years of data on plant flow is collected.
The sale is contingent upon the borough obtaining the necessary financing to extend the plant's sewage lines to town properties. The state Department of Environmental Protection also must approve the borough's sewage plan.
"This is a good thing for our district and the borough," school board member Kerrie Strickland said. "It's a win-win." The deal gets South Eastern out of the sewage treatment business and resolves the borough's problems with malfunctioning on-lot septic systems.
The district's treatment plant was built to process about 50,000 gallons of wastewater per day. However, the Fawn Grove campus, which includes Kennard-Dale High School, the two middle schools and Fawn Area Elementary, only uses about 10,000 gallons per day.
The 40,000 gallons in unused capacity is enough to add the borough's 150 to 200 malfunctioning properties as well as provide for school and community needs in the near future, officials have said.
The agreement, however, does allow Fawn Grove to enlarge the plant when necessary. It also gives the borough a right-of-way for an access road to the plant.

Not yet, but close. One or two more mistakes might do it.

EDIT: That fumble may be it.
jeez Terbush is still Qbing Purdue? that's a damn shame.
Today might be one of the best days this season. UM grabbing the top spot again and ND losing. Everything is good in the world again.
Great, you just jinxed everything.
Things are looking good right now. MSU up 23-14 (+XP?) and ND down 20-6
24-14...14:20 to go!
Go State?
Go Staee!
I think these refs are Michigan fans
Are you a poster on BWI?
Sparty benefits from a terrible late-hit call by the officials.
Who cares? Spartans are winning
U have nice bewbs
Pitt better not get into off coverage too soon! An entire quarter to go and already rushing 4 and dropping back into deep zones. Plenty of time left.....
NCAA needs to fine ND for their ridiculous field set-up. No person, band, or stage should be that close to the actual field of play. I wish those 2 Pitt defenders blasted every drum set over when they fell over there.
DAMMIT! Just fall on the ball!
Holy hell jump on the football. MSU could have put the game away there.
ND keeps possession.
FALL? Fall on it? Fall on the football anyone?
Has the same refs reviewing the pass that we had at Nebraska last week.
14 minutes left. Still don't have much confidence. Plz no Sparty No's!!
Gholston is overrated.
Vernon? Tom?
ND benefits from a very questionable PI call on 4th down
Notre Dame gets yet another call.
Horrible call by refs. ND was given that TD. This is the Stanford game all over again.
Irish No!!!! Missed the extra point.
Hated Pitts defense the entire drive.....they have to keep pressure on Or that QB will just run around and make plays. Missed XP....huge?
that was good defense on that PI call. ND got a gift.
Narduzzi dipping? Isn't that a NCAA violation?
What are your guys' thoughts on Carlos Hyde? Will he be a threat for Ohio in "The Game" or will our run D be able to shut him down?
He's a 230lbs bruiser with 740 yards and 14 TDs in 10 games.
7.5 games
Commentary from 30 seconds in the future "Well that's very uncharacteristic of a Mark Dantonio football team"
Another personal foul? No way.
Since Herbie predicted Purdue to win the Big Ten, they are about to be 0-5 and have been out scored 189-80.
Stupid late hot by Sparty.
Not sure why kids are making these plays....dantonio teams don't play this way!
Think that is there 5th one today?
I just do not know how many penalties it takes to get it through sparty's skull to not hit OOB.
That was a BS pass interference call against Pitt on 4th down there.
Damn flag!
There we go Taylor!!!!
And by that, I mean YYEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!
gonna be coming back
What penalty will negate this defensive TD I wonder???
What else could it be?
So how many personal foul penalties does MSU average per game? Got to be near 5.

Taylor Swift may be busy fending off rumours she is dating a host of celebrity men including Harry Styles, but she still has time for her friends and is said to be responsible for Selena Gomez taking Justin Bieber back after their split.
Spring Breakers actress Selena is said to have dumped Justin three weeks ago after 'growing tired' of him 'flirting' with other girls including a Victoria's Secret model. However, they appear to have reconciled their relationship and sources close to the couple say their best pal Taylor Swift had a part to play.
"When Selena hung out with Taylor she was really stressed out and frazzled about everything with Justin. But Taylor reminded her how crazy Justin is over her and to just try to stay above the fray," a source told RadarOnline.
Taylor gave Selena a good talking to about Justin (Lia Toby/WENN.com)
"The problem between them stemmed from Justin texting other girls. So Selena is embarrassed by what he did because it makes her look stupid, that he would talk to these other girls, and she is also embarrassed that everyone is so invested in their relationship now because of his actions."
Justin and Selena were seen heading to dinner together last Friday but speculation mounted that the couple had an argument after Selena was seen walking out of the restaurant just 10 minutes later. But the insider has downplayed the incident, insisting there was no row and they only left because of the attention they were receiving.
Justin and Selena didn't take Taylor's advice about 'never ever getting back together' (Apega/WENN.com)
"There was no blow up. Selena is just super embarrassed by all of this attention surrounding their relationship and she got upset when they sat down and people were staring and pulling out their cell phones," the source explained.
"She was uncomfortable and wanted out of there, and that's why they left almost immediately."
Sounds like Taylor is a friend Selena wants to hang on to!

Correction: The Northern Lights Express would intersect with Northstar rail at Foley Boulevard in Coon Rapids.
The Anoka County Regional Rail Authority, a key player in efforts to build a rail line from Minneapolis to Duluth, is no longer backing the Northern Lights Express.
Anoka County commissioners voted 4-3 Tuesday, June 12, to withdraw from the project's alliance. Commissioners Matt Look, Rhonda Sivarajah, Robyn West and Andy Westerberg voted in favor of the decision, with commissioners Dan Erhart, Carol LeDoux and Jim Kordiak voting against.
The impact of the decision depends on whom you ask.
"We are an integral part of the completion of that line; us pulling out, I think, will ultimately kill it," said Look, chairman of the county's regional rail authority.
"Everyone has been asking what this will mean financially for the project and this doesn't have a significant impact," said Bob Manzoline, executive director of the St. Louis and Lake Counties Regional Rail Authority, the administrators of the Northern Lights line. "This project is a lot bigger than any one group or entity right now."
To the tune of about $900 million, the project aims to build a passenger rail line along the 155-mile corridor between Minneapolis and Duluth.
An alliance of local supporters came together behind the endeavor in 2007, including Anoka, Hennepin, Douglas, Isanti, Pine and St. Louis counties, along with Minneapolis and Duluth.
Look said the decision to pull out would allow Anoka to prioritize its efforts on boosting ridership and decreasing subsidies for the Northstar rail, the commuter line that cuts through Anoka County.
"I am not about to get into another project that has unproven ridership and basically get in another highly subsidized deal until we get (Northstar) fully operating," Look said.
Look said he's also worried about the cost of building the Duluth-bound line, saying he's heard Anoka County's contribution is estimated to be around $10 million. Based on experience with Northstar, which ended up pulling about 10 percent -- or $30 million -- of its costs from Anoka County, the commissioner said he expects the final figure to be much higher, particularly with the federal government's commitment still uncertain.
"The federal government can pay up to 80 percent. The operative word is can, but they won't pay that," Look said. "I can't personally subject my taxpayers to that kind of a huge capital cost."
Manzoline said it's not clear which counties would be asked to chip in for costs, and that the expectation is for the state and federal government to pay for the project.
Currently, the rail line is still in the study phase, with preliminary engineering expected to start in the fall. The $8 million for that 18-month process has already been secured from state and federal funding, Manzoline said.
Look countered that there has never been a rail project without local governments sharing the cost.
The county's decision came as a huge blow to Commissioner Erhart, an early supporter of Northern Lights.
"This was one of the worst decisions this county has made," he said.
The intersection of Northstar with Northern Lights at Foley Boulevard would really put Anoka County on the map, Erhart said.
"We have an opportunity as a suburb 20 minutes outside downtown Minneapolis to make this one of the best places to love, work, play, go to school and retire," he said. "This is a terrible loss for our community."
However, Erhart said, it's not too late to reverse it.. With six of the seven Anoka County Board seats-- including his own -- up for reelection this fall, support for public transportation could shift.
"It would just take one vote," he said.
St. Louis County Commissioner Steve Rauker and Hennepin County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, the chair and vice chair of Northern Light's alliance, could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Bob Bashara talks with the Detroit Free Press in the offices of his attorney David Griem in the Guardian Building in downtown Detroit on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012. / ERIC SEALS/Detroit Free Press
Bob Bashara will get a chance Thursday to challenge his jailing on a $15 million cash bond as he faces charges that he tried to hire someone to kill his former handyman before the handyman could link him to his wifes murder.
Bashara has been held in the Wayne County Jail since his arrest in June by Grosse Pointe Park police. He is charged with solicitation to murder for an alleged plot against Joe Gentz, a handyman who did work for him and told police he killed Jane Bashara at her husbands behest in January.
Defense attorney Mark Kriger has not asked for a specific figure in his motion for a reduced bond. Instead, Kriger asked for a reasonable amount that would assure Basharas appearance in court while not endangering public safety.
Although he has not been charged with his wifes slaying, Bashara has been called a suspect in court and a person of interest by the Grosse Pointe Park police. In the solicitation case, he is accused of talking to a Detroit appliance dealer about finding someone who could kill Gentz, who is being held jail on murder and conspiracy charges.
The hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Thursday before Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Bruce U. Morrow.
Jane Bashara was found strangled Jan. 25 in her Mercedes-Benz SUV, which had been ditched in a Detroit alley. Her husband had reported her missing from their Grosse Pointe Park home the night before.

December 1, 2015
By GIOVANNA DELL'ORTO
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - A man neighbors described as a retired factory worker shot three people to death and wounded two others before killing himself in a southwest Atlanta home Monday, authorities said.
All of the victims were believed to be related, Atlanta police spokesman Eric Schwartz said.
Police identified the gunman as Abdulaziz Ibrahim, 52. Officers also found the bodies of Hana Yusuf, 26, and Luna Tesfaye, 24, Schwartz said. Another victim, Mohammad Ibrahim, 28, died at Grady Memorial Hospital.
Three-year-old Amir Abdulhakim was in critical condition at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, and Yusef Ibrahim, 27, was in stable condition at Grady, police said.
Police said they were interviewing both a teenage girl who was in the house during the shooting but was unharmed, and Abdulaziz Ibrahim's wife, who had left home shortly before the 7 a.m. shootings.
Neighbor Charlene Weiters said the family moved into the house about 12 years ago from overseas. She said Abdulaziz Ibrahim was a retired manufacturing worker who occasionally gave the neighborhood children small toys and school supplies.
"We think he was sick, he must have been," she said between sobs. "He was so sweet, he was so sweet he wouldn't hurt anybody."
Weiters said she often saw him playing with his grandson in the yard. She said she believed Ibrahim lived in the home with his wife, three children, two nieces and two grandchildren.
