Explore well-preserved heritage villages in the Tilba region. The towns are characterised by their 19th century weatherboard cottages and fine Victorian timber buildings, as well as the maintenance of creative traditions in the arts of glasswork, candle making, winemaking and woodturning.
About Tilba Tilba and Central Tilba
Explore the Urban Conservation Area that includes Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba in the stunning Eurobodalla countryside on the South Coast of NSW. The area is rich in heritage, unique shops, woodland gardens and local produce, and is surrounded by natural beauty.
The Tilba region's villages are located at the foothills of the sacred Gulaga, also known as Mount Dromedary, an extinct volcano that holds spiritual significance to the local Aboriginal Yuin people. The mountain's walking track - created in 1894 for gold miners - takes you through old mining residences and leads to stunning views of the surrounding rainforest and coast.
Central Tilba is a picture-perfect country town, and keeping the village lively is the collection of craft workers and artisans who have taken up residence. Visit Passionfish Candles and admire the local candle maker's natural soy candles. The town is also home to the famous ABC Cheese Factory that welcome visitors for tastings of the popular Tilba Club Cheese and their large range of honey.
Relax and unwind in Tilba Tilba, a pretty, rural town with great character and wonderful gardens, including the Foxglove Spires Garden, a luscious 1.5 hectare woodland garden built around a farm cottage. Visit the Gumnut Hideaway Gallery and admire the town's unique art scene inspired by the region's natural surroundings.
For uncrowded idyllic beaches visit the town of Narooma nearby, or Batemans Bay further north.

Help with Perforated Sheet Materials specifications:
Physical Specifications
Back to Top
|Hole Size
|Opening size is the actual clear opening or space between the inside edges of two parallel wires or the diameter of each hole in a perforated sheet. For rectangular openings, enter the opening width (smallest side of the rectangular opening) in the 'at least' field. Enter the opening length (longest side of the rectangular opening) in the 'no more than' field. The difference between mesh and opening size is how they are measured. Mesh is measured from the centers of the wires while opening size is the clear opening between the wires. A two-mesh cloth and a cloth with 1/2-inch (1/2") openings are similar. However, because mesh includes the wires in its measurement, two-mesh cloth has smaller openings than a cloth with an opening size of a 1/2-inch.
|Search Logic:
|User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Materials of Construction
Back to Top
|Your choices are...
|Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
|Copper / Brass / Bronze
|Copper is a common reddish, metallic element that is ductile, malleable, and is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. It is alloyed with zinc and tin (or similar metals) to produce brass and bronze, respectively, which are tougher and more corrosion resistant.
|Molybdenum is a refractory metal with a very high melting point and a relatively high density. Molybdenum and molybdenum alloys are used to fabricate PVD evaporation crucibles, electrodes, electrical contacts, and other high temperature components.
|Nickel / Nickel Alloys
|Nickel and nickel alloys are non-ferrous metals with high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior elevated temperature properties. Nickel can also be magnetized. Nickel's properties result in the use of nickel alloys in jet engine super-alloy components, corrosion resistant chemical process equipment (valves, piping, and pumps), magnets and electrical resistance alloys, and heating elements. Nickel is also a useful alloying element in stainless, tool, maraging, and other alloy steels.
|Stainless Steel
|Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high-pressure ratings. Many different grades of stainless steel are used in wire cloth.
|Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content. Wire cloth is often woven from steel due to its relatively low cost, high tensile strength, and ductility. Low carbon steel is often the choice when the cloth will not be in contact with corrosive or abrasive fluids. Steel may be galvanized, tinned, plated, painted, or coated.
|Titanium and its alloys are extremely lightweight and are widely used in the aircraft and aerospace industry. It has an excellent high strength-to-weight ratio especially in moderate temperature ranges (300°F to 700°F). In natural environments, a protective oxide film forms which enhances its corrosion resistance. Titanium wire cloth is also used in medical applications for implants in artificial joints.
|Tungsten has good strength in a protective atmosphere up to 5000°F. As is true with other refractory metals, tungsten exhibits good corrosion resistance qualities.
|Other Metal
|Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary material.
|Search Logic:
|Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
|Your choices are...
|Aramid fibers are based on a polyphthalamide system. DuPont's Kevlar® and TeijinConex Twaron® are examples of aramid fibers.
|Polymers are based on fluoropolymer chemical systems, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Fluoropolymers are used in applications requiring superior chemical resistance. PTFE is used in applications requiring superior chemical resistance or low friction.
|Polyamide / Nylon
|Polyamide is a commonly used system for molding high-strength engineered components. Polyamides provide higher strength than polyethylene or other commodity-type polymers. Nylon is a well-known example of a polyamide engineering resin.
|The polyethylene terphthalate (PET) and polybutylene terphthalate (PBT) polymer systems are based on a thermoplastic polyester or terphthalate system.
|Polyolefin (PE, PP)
|Polyolefins include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and copolymers of both. Typically lower in cost than other materials, products based on these materials are used where flexibility and chemical resistance are valued.
|Other Plastic
|Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary polymer.
|Search Logic:

|The product is used to produce, grow, raise, harvest, process, store, market, and/or sell food and other crops and livestock.
|Battery Separator
|The product is used as a separator between the anode and cathode of a battery or similar electrochemical device.
|Bolting Cloth
|Stainless steel bolting cloth is a light, wire cloth woven of highly durable wire. The wire is drawn with a very smooth surface to speed up the bolting action which increases screening machine capacity. "Tensile Bolt" is a lightweight grade of wire cloth produced in mesh counts ranging from 16 x 16 mesh through 230 x 230 mesh. This specification uses smaller wire diameters than the Market Grade designation, which results in a greater open area for a given mesh.
|Building and Construction

John Wayne "Buddy" Rudolph, a beloved child of God, passed away May 26, 2014. He fought a courageous battle with cancer. His family was blessed by witnessing him face it with dignity and ultimately acceptance. John talked about death and the courage needed to face mortality as his mother was going through numerous medical issues in the last years of her life. His loved ones witnessed him applying the same courage at the end of his own life. John was a great man because of how he lived his life and he was an example for those who were fortunate to have known him.
John was born on July 7, 1941 in Jacksboro, Texas. He spent his childhood in Bryson, Texas, where he graduated from high school in 1959. He then proceeded with his education and he graduated from Texas Wesleyan College in 1962.
He worked for Blue Cross and Blue Shield in both Dallas and New York City. He retired from Blue Cross and spent the remainder of days enjoying life in the beautiful state of New York. John loved the theatre and spent many evenings attending productions on Broadway. John always had a special place in his heart for animals. The folks from Texas who were able to travel to New York and visit John, were treated to the many beautiful and marvelous sites that New York City and upstate New York have to offer.
John was preceded in death by his parents, John and Alta Rudolph, his partner of many years, Edger White, and his brother-in-law, Walter Beck.
He is survived by his sisters and brothers-in-law, Carroll and Jack Quisenberry of Tyler, Texas; Jane Beck of Friendswood, Texas; and Mary and Earl Ward of Weatherford, Texas, his three nephews and their wives, Andy and Tammy Easterling of Cedar Hill, Texas; Alan and Kristi Easterling of Burleson, Texas; and Kevin and Nikki Beck of Chicago, Illinois, as well as his New York family, Lynne Padilla, Brian Behan, and Xavier Macias.
As it is written in a book about another great man, John's life contains material for normal human development, through mingled joy and sorrow, labor and rest, adversity and success, and through the tender loves of childhood, maturity, and age. We cannot but believe that it is just for countless quiet, simple lives like John's, that God made and upholds this earth.

Blackbird Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BBI) ("Blackbird" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its recently acquired wholly-owned subsidiary, Ruger Energy Inc. ("Ruger"), has purchased certain oil and gas assets from Twin Butte Energy Inc. for total cash consideration of $540,000 (the "Acquisition").
The assets (the "Flaxcombe Project") are located near Ruger's current oil production and water disposal facilities in the Alsask area (the "Alsask Project") and will allow for optimization and operating cost savings. Based on a McDaniels and Associates reserve estimate of 126,000 boe (P+P) deal metrics are $4.29/boe and $19,286/producing day barrel. Current production at the Flaxcombe Project is 28 boepd.
The Flaxcombe Project is accretive to Blackbird's Alsask Project. The Flaxcombe Project is comprised of a total of 5,041 acres (net 2,393 acres) in West Central Saskatchewan. Blackbird will have 100% working interest in the Sparky oil property with 3 producing oil wells. The Acquisition includes 3D seismic coverage over the complete Sparky oil pool and two development oil well locations have been identified based on the 3D technical review.
Garth Braun, CEO of Blackbird stated, "This acquisition expands Blackbird's land position in this area of focus and the Blackbird team believes that this project and our holdings in the area provide an opportunity to grow shareholder value. Blackbird's team is focused on diversifying its interest with the addition of these lower risk development oil projects in West Central Saskatchewan. The team is also focused on originating new high quality oil plays through the assembly of additional land positions."
Darrell Denney, COO of Blackbird stated, "Our primary focus in 2013 is to establish a solid base of oil production. We will operate in areas where finding and development costs are lower and land is available. The Flaxcombe acquisition satisfies that criteria with low cost development drilling, acquisition opportunities and land availability. This oil focus will provide a balance to our Bigstone property long-life liquid rich gas reserves."
About Blackbird
Blackbird's Bigstone Project is comprised of lands and licenses covering a total of 5,120 acres (net 1,120 acres), in Township 60, ranges 22 and 23W5 at Bigstone, Alberta. By completing the terms of a farm in agreement with Donnybrook Energy Inc., Blackbird earned 25 per cent of Donnybrook's interest in the Bigstone lands and in any future operations within an area of mutual interest.
The Alsask Project is comprised of 1120 acres in the Alsask area on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border in which Blackbird through its wholly-owned subsidiary Ruger holds a 100% working interest.

On behalf of the board of BLACKBIRD ENERGY INC.
Garth Braun, Chief Executive Officer and Director
Oil Equivalency Conversion (BOE)
Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to BOE at a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf = 1 BOE). The conversion ratio is based upon an energy equivalent conversion method, primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalence at the wellhead. BOE values may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

IMF notes Saudi role in stabilizing world economy
Sunday, February 5, 2012
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — The head of the International Monetary Fund has hailed Saudi Arabia's role in supporting the world economy, following meetings with the country's king and top finance officials.
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde noted Saudi Arabia's role in stabilizing the global oil market and its participation in international financial bodies in a statement issued late Saturday.
She says OPEC's largest oil producer has become "a leader in not only the oil market but also the region and the global economy."
Lagarde made no mention of new financial commitments from Riyadh following her first meeting there as head of the IMF, however.

Queer I Stand
When Persecution Isn't, and What To Do About It
I'm just now starting to emerge from a situation I endured at my workplace recently, where an ostensibly well-informed college department head in a supervisory role over me dismissed my religion as not "real" out of ignorance, and then harassed me over it on another occasion. Human resources and mediation seem to have resolved the situation for the present, for which I am very grateful; though my thanks extends mostly to my gods, who were steadfast supporters of me through my difficulties, and to my many Pagan friends, colleagues, and co-religionists who acted as my support and sounding boards throughout this process. But I was lucky; many other people are not.
One mistake, however, that never entered into my mind during this ordeal was the one that Moss cautions everyone to avoid: using the fact of persecution as self-evidence of one's correctness. Yes, I have no doubts that the polytheistic forms of Paganism that I practice are the only right spiritual path and religious identity for me at present. Likewise, I had no doubts whatsoever that under U.S. law, college policy, and simple questions of everyday morality and courtesy, my religious identity and my personhood did not deserve the treatment I received from my supervisor. What often steadied my resolve during this process was my firm commitment to justice—and not merely "justice" as an abstract, but Justice as the goddesses Iustitia and Dike and Themis and Ma'at.
By both secular laws of this land, institutional policies and regulations, and the standards of the gods that I follow, I was justified in pointing out these behaviors as errors and in seeking an appropriate resolution. But it never occurred to me to think, "Well, this just demonstrates how True and Good my religion is, because this evil and imperfect world hates what is True and Good." Yes, it is an imperfect world; yes, there are people who are malicious and ignorant and who bear hatred for others; and yes, in my own situation, I was coming up against ignorance as well as the deeply flawed character of the individual perpetrating this harassment. But none of this was evidence of anything other than that the individual concerned was ignorant and flawed.
Pagan readers of this column might respond with "Yes? so what?" And Christian readers of this column might agree. But if it had been a Christian in my position, the department head might have been immediately classified as a demon-haunted wretch that was the tool of Satan himself, and the hypothetical Christian (no matter how lax in faith or practice) could have ascended to the blessed ranks of God's Chosen in Eternal Bliss.
Do you see the difference?
The mere fact that modern Pagans exist and present an alternative to Christianity (whether or not our own practice of Paganism can include Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and others as respected beings within them or not), automatically marks us for many Christians. We are perceived not as their neighbors whom they are commanded to love, nor as "just other humans" who are striving to do what they understand to be right in a difficult and unforgiving world, but as Devil-breast-fed abominations. The martyr and persecution complexes of Christianity on an institutional level make this the default setting more often than many of us would prefer. The results of it are potentially deadly in a situation where Christian political, intellectual, legal, and religious hegemony is likewise more the default than the exception.
One of the most valuable contributions of Moss' work—whether or not one agrees with her scholarship—is to demonstrate that this rhetorical strategy need not be the only option for Christians in the modern world. In fact, in light of the historical evidence, it is not a remotely justifiable position to take. But, again, even if one discounts Moss' facts as definitive, the reality that there are other options out there needs to be taken very seriously by Christians who claim to have a faith that is based on the love of their god for the world rather than on the blood of martyrs.
As Pagans who face very real prosecution and persecution, though, we cannot replicate this kind of thinking, or assume that our gods approve of us suffering on behalf of our religious commitments. Our gods love justice and devotion, but they do not relish our suffering on their behalf at the hands of ignorant and prejudiced others.

What's the average weight for a 27 month old boy?
My little boy only weights 27 lbs. He eats a lot and very healthy. He's also very active. He's very tall and thin like his father. People often mistaken him for 3 year old because of his height. Should I be concern?

No not at all my son 26 months and is 30pds. I agree that he is mistaken for a three year old but my doctor says it fine as long as he is eating healthy and has a very active life style. The reason why they eat alot is because the are growing children and at the age they are right now very active. Just continue to gave him a healthy balance diet and he will be ok.posted 12/28/2010 by Lormika
My daughter is three and doesn't way quite 27 pounds yet so 27 pounds at 27 months seems fine to me. If he's eating well and happy and healthy, and your pediatrician isn't worried, I don't think there's any reason for concern.posted 02/22/2011 by wyngirl'smom
My son is 27 months and only weighs 26 pounds. Doctor says that it doesn't matter and if he is not eating well each day, to take a multi-vitamin (We do Flintstones). We also kept him on whole milk (recommended by the doctor) since he does not eat a balanced meal each day. He is picky and some days doesn't eat much, then other days he eats a lot.posted 12/28/2010 by randaleaf
I am not sure that I would be that worried about it. My 21 month old boy weighs 33lbs, where my friends son weighs only 27 lbs at 2.5. its all in the genes. they are both healthy and eat a ton. as long as he is healthy why stress?posted 12/15/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
You can give him PediaSure, Its a drink that kids can take that has vitamins and stuff they need in it. As long as he isnt losing weight, and his iron and all that is fine, he is perfectly fine! All 2 yr olds would rather play than eat!posted 12/14/2010 by AdairFamily
My doctor told me that my little guy isn't gaining weight fast enough for his age. What can I do to help him gain weight? He eats all the time! I don't get it. She had me switch him to whole milk again. What else can I do? He seems perfectly fine to me.posted 12/14/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

I. Prerequisites
The procedures described in this document have been developed and
tested using the following free tools:
1. MinGW GCC Version 4.4.0 (Core and C++ including required libs)
2. MinGW GNU Binutils Version 2.19.1
3. MinGW GNU Make Version 3.81-20080326-3
4. MinGW Runtime Version 3.15.2
5. MinGW API for MS-Windows Version 3.13
6. GnuWin32 Package CoreUtils Version 5.3.0 (only for building)
7. GnuWin32 Package Sed Version 4.2 (only for creating the GCC
import library)*
* Sed is only needed to create a GCC-native import library from
the MSVC import library FreeImage.lib. However, since MinGW now
supports linking against MSVC lib files, this process seems to
be obsolete. See section 1.
Basically, no version dependent capabilities are used so, this
should also work with older versions of the tools mentioned above.
Similarly, the GnuWin32 packages (which I just prefer over MSYS)
could likely be replaced by a properly installed MSYS environment.
Furthermore, the following preconditions should be met:
1. The folders 'bin' under both the MinGW and the GnuWin32
installation directory should have been added to the PATH
environment variable. Likely it is best adding these
directories permanently to PATH through the System
Properties dialog on the Control Panel.
2. The MinGW Make package only provides a 'mingw32-make.exe'
executable. There is no alias 'make.exe'. However, make is
preconfigured to use 'make' as the default $(MAKE) command.
This seems to be a bug in the MinGW GNU Make distribution.
Thus, a copy of 'mingw32-make.exe' named 'make.exe' should
be placed into MinGW's 'bin' directory.
1. Using the precompiled FreeImage library with MinGW
When using functions from C/C++, that reside in a DLL, the linker
needs a so called import library, which specifies, how to
dynamically link these external functions during runtime. However,
different linkers use different types or formats of these import
Since the precompiled FreeImage library was build with Microsoft
Visual Studio, in the past, some extra work was required to use it
from MinGW. An import library, that was compatible with GNU ld,
must have been created first.
However, for several MinGW versions, the GNU linker ld also
supports linking against Microsoft Visual C++ import libraries
directly. So, this effectively makes any circulating HOWTO's on
how to create a GCC-compatible import library from a MSVC lib file
more or less obsolete. Additionally, MinGW does not require the
GCC/Linux usual lib prefix for libraries, so linking with MinGW
against the precompiled FreeImage DLL is as easy as with MSVC:
1.) Open a DOS shell (run application cmd.exe)
2.) Ensure, that the 'bin' folder of MinGW is added to the PATH
environment variable (see Prerequisites).
3.) Link directly against the supplied lib file:
C:\>gcc -oFreeImageTest.exe FreeImageTest.c -lFreeImage
Nonetheless, for the sake of completeness, the following steps
describe how to create a native GCC import library:
1.) Open a DOS shell (run application cmd.exe)
2.) Ensure, that the 'bin' folders of both MinGW and GnuWin32 are
added to the PATH environment variable (see Prerequisites).
3.) Create a .def file 'libfreeimage.def', that contains all symbols
exported by the FreeImage library:
C:\>pexports FreeImage.dll | sed "s/^_//" > libfreeimage.def
4.) Create the GCC compatible import library 'libfreeimage.a':
C:\>dlltool --add-underscore -d libfreeimage.def -l libfreeimage.a
5.) Use this library to link against with GCC:
C:\>gcc -oFreeImageTest.exe FreeImageTest.c -lfreeimage
2. Building the FreeImage library with MinGW
You *do not* need to have any other third party library (like
libjpeg, libpng, libtiff, libmng and zlib and others) installed on
your system in order to compile and use the library. FreeImage uses
its own versions of these libraries. This way, you can be sure that
FreeImage will always use the latest and properly tested versions
of of these third party libraries.
In order to build the FreeImage library under Windows with MinGW
(GCC), ensure that all the prerequisites mentioned above are met.
The MinGW makefile aims to build a Windows DLL, that differs as
least as possible from the precompiled library that comes with the
FreeImage distribution. Thus, the build process also includes the
DLL version resource as well as the __stdcall attribute for all the
exported functions, including the MSVC-like function decorations
When building the FreeImage DLL, of course, an import library is
generated, too. However, this input library is not in GCC's native
format, but in MSVC lib format, which makes it usable from both
MinGW and Microsoft Visual Studio with no further processing.
The MinGW makefile can also be used to build a static library.
However, due to the different function export attributes needed
for both the dynamic and the shared library (DLL), this requires
a separate invocation of make, which in turn needs to rebuild every
source file after switching from dynamic to static and vice versa.
So, a 'make clean' is required each time, the library type is
The type of library to build is specified by a variable named
FREEIMAGE_LIBRARY_TYPE, which may either be set directly in the
Makefile.mingw near line 18 or may be specified as an environment
variable. This variable may either take SHARED or STATIC to build
a dynamic link library (DLL) or a static library respectively.
Since this value is used to dynamically form the actual make target
internally, only uppercase values are valid. Defaults to SHARED.
The MinGW makefile also supports the 'install' target. However,
this only copies the FreeImage dynamic link library (DLL) from the
Dist folder into the %SystemRoot%\system32 folder. So, invoking this
target only makes sense, if the DLL has been built before.
Since there is neither a common system wide 'include' nor a 'lib'
directory available under Windows, the FreeImage header file
FreeImage.h as well as both the static library and the DLL import
library FreeImage.lib just remain in the 'Dist' folder.
The following procedure creates the FreeImage dynamic link library
(DLL) from the sources, installs it and also creates a static
FreeImage library:
1.) Open a DOS shell (run application cmd.exe)
2.) Ensure, that the 'bin' folders of both MinGW and GnuWin32 are
added to the PATH environment variable (see Prerequisites).
3.) Create the FreeImage dynamic link library (DLL):
4.) Install the FreeImage dynamic link library (DLL):
C:\>make install
5.) Clean all files produced by the recent build process:
C:\>make clean
6.) Create a static FreeImage library:
C:\>set FREEIMAGE_LIBRARY_TYPE=STATIC
You should be able to link progams with the -lFreeImage option
after the shared library is compiled and installed. You can also
link statically against FreeImage.a from MinGW.
3. Using the MinGW FreeImage library with Microsoft Visual Studio
Since the MinGW makefile creates an import library in MSVC's lib
format, the produced shared library (DLL) can be used from both
MinGW and Microsoft Visual Studio with no further adaption. Just
link to the import library FreeImage.lib from either MinGW or
Microsoft Visual Studio.

God Wants You Happy
The abundant life promised to us in John 10:10 includes your happiness!
This discovery (something so obvious and simple it can hardly be called a discovery outside my own subjective experience) most likely made such a deep impression on me on that day because it contrasted so starkly with what I had been experiencing the previous week. I had been through some particularly rough days. I was dealing with my own issues of adjusting to living in New York City and serving in a Manhattan parish after many years in the more subdued and controlled environment of a seminary in Rome, Italy. My impression was that everyone around me also seemed to be going through tough times, and they weren't making much sense of their struggles. I was hurting a bit, yes, but these people were miserable. I recall the young, fearful, and inconsolable mother in the hospital with late-stage ovarian cancer; another dear friend of mine at her wits' end, frustrated and angry that she was reaching forty and still hadn't found a decent guy; an usher in my church laid off from his job one week before his wedding; a Protestant pastor and friend whose wife was leaving him for her wealthy boss; a father of three young children, suffering from debilitating and humiliating depression; and finally, the ninety-eight-year-old man at whose funeral service I presided that was attended by nobody—not a single person!
Over the years of my pastoral ministry I've unconsciously formed an ultrathin but steely guard that allows me to be interested in, and even immersed in, others' problems without being overwhelmed emotionally. That week, however, just beneath my serene exterior floated major doubts about God's questionable strategy of care for some of his children: "Are there real, true, positive solutions for their predicaments, for every predicament?" I wondered.
The very simple, unexceptional flash of spiritual enlightenment I experienced on that Saturday morning immediately put these concerns—summarized in my question to God about real solutions for everyone—back into life's big picture. It is a context where spiritual realities (including heaven, grace, and redemption) are taken into account. True, the previous week I had encountered a group of people who were in agony, tragically stuck in their misery, but here, through Moe's indomitable joy (even as his local butcher shop was teetering on extinction on account of new, corporate giants in the neighborhood) and through scripture, I was being reminded by grace of God's promise to us: he will bring out of every bad situation, out of every single instance of pain and suffering in our lives, a greater good—yes, an even greater good than the goodness we are missing now—if we let him! This promise covers every stripe and strand of our seemingly limitless human capacity for physical, emotional, and spiritual agony.

NEW YORK (AP) -- For the third consecutive year, the Super Bowl has set a record as the most-watched television show in U.S. history.
The Nielsen Co. said Monday that an estimated 111.3 million people watched the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots on Sunday night. That narrowly beat the 111 million who watched Green Bay's win over Pittsburgh last year.
NBC was blessed by a competitive game between two teams that played one of the Super Bowl's most memorable games four years ago, with one of them representing the largest media market in the country.

Woodland Hills
Rand Reasoner, senior pastor of the Prince of Peace Episcopal Church where the food pantry is located, said it was a wonderful surprise to receive the grant of $2,100.
"We have been supporting Alternative Gifts International for years and the director wanted to talk to some of those who have been instrumental in the ministry and the process," Reasoner told Canyon News. "So we sat down with him and gave him some ideas and suggestions and told him how we ran the program here prior to Christmas," he added.
Reasoner, who said he is not shy to ask for money, said the church had received a grant in the past and asked how they might be able to get another grant. Laura McFall, director of market relations for Alternative Gifts International, said the Church has received two grants in the past, one in 1993 and one in 2002, totaling over $9,700.
McFall said the Prince of Peace Episcopal Church has an Alternative Gift Market every year, which is one of the projects listed in their catalog under project three.
"Project three is to help hungry and homeless Americans and food pantries here in the United States and in Canada," McFall told Canyon News. "When a church or organization hosts a gift market for us, we call the volunteers in charge our market coordinators and we solicit nominations of food pantries or shelters in their local communities from them, which is how the Episcopal Church was nominated," she added.
Because of Reasoner's nomination, the Church was selected as one of 15 recipients for these grants. McFall said the grants, which vary in number every year, are awarded based on the nominations and the amount of money given to that project during the year. The size of the grant and the number given are dependent on the amount given.
"What we look for in our nominations is that they have to be a 501(c)3 nonprofit and we look at how many clients are served and the fact of the matter is that food pantries are desperate," McFall said. "They're running out of food and more and more people are getting turned away and the system isn't working the way it's supposed to, but if the system really worked we wouldn't have food pantries to begin with."
Margaret Shizely, supervisor for the West Valley Food Pantry, has been involved since the pantry's beginning back in the 1980s and said they serve more than 8,000 families a month. She said there is a large number of working poor and elderly residents whose monthly incomes do not cover their monthly expenses.
"We serve the poor and the homeless and anyone in West Valley," Shizely told Canyon News. "We have six zip codes and people may come once every 30 days and homeless may come once every week and they get a full ration of food."
Because the Prince of Peace Episcopal Church is part of a coalition made of 10 churches and one synagogue, Shizely said 55 percent of their food comes from the regional food bank in Los Angeles.
McFall said Alternative Gifts International aims to not only make people feel better today, but to provide a way for them to have a better life in the future. To do this, Alternative Gifts has provided a way to give nontraditional gifts, or gifts that are not seen as normal.
"Alternative gifts are like traditional gifts in that they express love and affection and celebrate occasions," she said. "You never have to worry that they won't fit, are not the right color, have to be dusted or just sit on a shelf and never get used. They are life-giving gifts being used around the world everyday."
These gifts can be things like water filters, yaks or other animals for food, mosquito nets and other things like that, according to Reasoner.

News: GTAIV: San Andreas Beta 3 is out now
25 Sep 2012 - OpenIV 1.2 released
Written by AJ Collins September 25, 2012, 02:56:00 pm 2763 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates) Print
GooD-NTS has released OpenIV 1.2, an update for this extremely popular all-in-one mod tool for Grand Theft Auto IV and Max Payne 3 on PC. This new version brings about two big developments which modders will love.
The first development is the ability to edit the RPF files for Max Payne 3. Previous versions of OpenIV only allowed for the viewing and extracting of these files. While this doesn't mean full on modding for Max Payne 3 yet as the formats still need to be researched, it is one less hurdle that is in the way.
The other big development OpenIV 1.2 brings is support for Grand Theft Auto IV's PED paths or Nav meshes. This means that total conversions such as Grand Theft Auto IV: San Andreas and the excellent upcoming Our Ugly World can now finally implement pedestrians roaming the city on foot as opposed to being stuck in their vehicles.
To download OpenIV 1.2 or to view the full changelog, simply head on over to the official website.

Meaningful Funeral Tributes & Memorials
A Personalised Approach
If you're in a quandary about how to organise a floral tribute, rest assured that your funeral florist is always at hand to guide you through the decision-making process; Funeral Florist.
Your florist will also liaise with the funeral director regarding the delivery of your tribute to the undertaker, family home or residential address, as appropriate.
Options for floral funeral tributes include:
● Coffin Sprays: usually chosen by close family or those arranging the funeral, coffin sprays range from the highly formalised double-ended variety, to simple, single-ended informal sprays.
● Wreaths: synonymous with the traditional sympathy tribute, wreaths can be created in any style you choose, from classic to contemporary.
● Posies: a versatile and universally acknowledged type of floral tribute; its circular design is beautiful, simple and aesthetically pleasing.
● Tied Sheaves: offer a truly natural-looking tribute and an increasingly popular option for modern funerals.
● Shaped Floral Arrangements: can be designed in whatever shape you choose, e.g. hearts (symbol of eternal love, often chosen by immediate family), floral letter tributes (also generally sent by those closest to the deceased), teardrops, teddy bears, angels, sports related tributes, cushions, funeral crosses and other religious and cultural symbols, etc.
Meaningful Messages & Carefully Chosen Cards for Funeral Tributes
Composing an appropriate message to accompany your floral tribute can be difficult. But, if you focus on a few, simple, yet meaningful words, written from the heart, you won't go far wrong. Otherwise, a message along the lines of 'With deepest sympathy from [name]' will always be appreciated.
Lasting Tributes, Memorials & Symbols of Remembrance
Arranging a memorial tribute in the days, weeks or months, following the Funeral Ceremony has always been central to the bereavement process; today, this human need to externalise grief is no different and remains a significant part of the modern-day mourning process.
Personalised Remembrance Tributes
Memorial tributes may take many forms. Today, however, we are increasingly choosing a more personalised approach to offering lasting and meaningful funeral tributes and memorials.
In addition to traditional engraved headstones, plaques and other stone memorials, tributes such as memorial benches, unique sculptures and artwork or planting a tree in memory of a loved one are all ways of personalising a lasting tribute.
Finally, on a practical note, do bear in mind that before a memorial can be erected in churchyard or cemetery, or a bench or artwork / sculpture, etc., placed in a park or public place, written permission will be required from the appropriate local governing body.

It was a big day on the Internet for Guy Ritchie. Vulture reports that the sequel to the hugely successful sword and sandals film 300 has been taken out of its original director Zack Snyder's hands and placed into Ritchie's. The film is called Xerxes and is another adaptation of...

Theology—the study of God—is the lofty name for the practice that all faithful people undertake whenever we try to figure out what it is we think about God and how that determines how we live. Theology is easy to "do" but hard to do in-depth because it requires a comprehensive understanding of the Bible, faith traditions, Christian history, spirituality and human nature. Professional theologians guide us in reaching new insights about God and how to live as God's people. We can learn from what they say and how they do their craft.

Every field has its research and development department. For the church, that's theology.
I reached this conclusion after spending a week talking to young theologians. I deeply respect theologians, but I wasn't quite sure about their role. Do they think great thoughts all day? Is anyone listening? Does anyone care?
Yes, yes and yes, I discovered. Whether they study Scripture, ethics or preaching, they are passionate about equipping us to worship more profoundly, serve more effectively and live with more integrity.
Some pass along their passion through their students. Others lead congregations.
"No matter how heady and theoretical theology seems," doctoral student Leila Ortiz told me, "it will always hit the pew because it's always speaking of experience."
For this story, I grilled women and men from many backgrounds, institutions and regions. Those approaching the half-century mark were flattered to be called young, but I was taking into account the many years and degrees it takes to become a theologian.
Only a fraction of the ideas of some of the ELCA's young theologians could be squeezed into these pages, but their enthusiasm for theology — "talking about God and everything else in light of who God is," said Victor Thasiah of California Lutheran University, Thousand Oaks — shines through every profile.
Benjamin Stewart
Gordon A. Braatz assistant professor of worship; dean of Augustana Chapel,
Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago
The connection between worship and ecology is central to my work. People often think these are strange things to put together, but I think both try to comprehend big questions. What holds everything together? What's truly valuable in this great cosmos?
I'm now working on Christian theology for the ecological burial movement. These are old practices animated by cutting-edge science and ecological concerns. It ritualizes a return to the earth, and reminds us that our bodies are earth, and that "the earth is the Lord's and all that is therein."
For younger people today, the connection between earth and bodies, life and death, is especially intriguing. The uphill struggle is not theological or ecclesial, but with ingrained cultural patterns that avoid the incarnational and dust-to-dust dimensions of death.
Rolf Jacobson
Associate professor of Old Testament,
Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minn.
I teach Old Testament, especially the psalms and the prophets, classes on Scripture and parish leadership, and also law and gospel.
I don't think we get how utterly disconnected worship is for most people. What happens when a newcomer visits? First we hit them with confusing words like confession and absolution, then kyrie, then we read a lesson — say from Daniel, chapter 1. They don't know who Daniel is, when it was written or why. Then we quickly move to three other lessons.
I invite seminarians and pastors to think about what a person needs to know to understand the readings, art, music and symbols of our worship. Everything we do in worship was designed to make sense, but the world is changing. Are we going to ask ourselves hard questions, or continue doing worship exactly the same way?
Anthony Bateza
Doctoral student,
Princeton [N.J.] Theological Seminary
My interest is theological ethics and the virtue tradition. One narrative among academics is that after Martin Luther, ethics fell out of the picture. The extreme focus on justification by faith, the sense that we don't contribute to our own sanctification, has tended to produce a certain quietness and confusion among Lutherans.
How are we formed by how we act? That is one of the harder things to get across in the parish. I'd like to teach pastors how to preach justice without betraying our commitment to being justified by grace alone. I'd also like to give them tools to create space to reflect on basic practices like welcoming folks, catechesis, outreach and advocacy.
When pews were full we didn't have to reflect intentionally on our values and how we pass them on. Now that pews are thinner and society more splintered, we need to make our implicit beliefs very explicit.
We might see ourselves as a welcoming and open church but not recognize the ways our behaviors convey the complete opposite. The job of the pastor and theologian is to generate conversation about the way forward.
Jessicah Duckworth
Assistant professor of congregational and community care leadership,
Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minn.
I am a practical theologian. While I may listen to a biblical text or theologians John Chrysostom, Immanuel Kant or Paul Tillich, my primary starting place is Christian communities and what is happening in them now.
My particular work is equipping Christian leaders or pastors to listen, interpret and respond. I'm excited about exploring ways to shift from individual pastoral counseling to a new model focused on community well-being.
We are accustomed to the one-on-one, clinical, chaplain model of pastoral care. But what if six couples are going through a divorce at the same time? Several people lose jobs? One or more lose a child? If they seek out individual counseling with the pastor, they will never get to know each other or learn from one another's experience of God and faith at that time. When they are in relationship, learning from one another, the community of the congregation gets to learn as well.
How can we create conversations that bless each other? How can we equip lay caregivers to care for one another and attend equally to people's pain? Those are the questions that drive me.
Jacqueline Bussie
Director, Forum on Faith and Life;
associate professor of religion,
Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn.
Martin Luther's relationship with God was very ambivalent. He was so honest about his angst that there is a German word to describe his struggle: Anfechtungen, or moments of doubt and anxiety.
I've resonated with that because when I was in college my mother began dying of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. I'm comforted by the fact that among Lutherans, the Anfechtugen are welcome to be spoken out loud. That's what I love about being a Lutheran theologian. There is nothing I can look at and not ask hard questions about. Nothing is off limits.
In my "Problem of Evil" class, we spend time on how to respond to whatever we define as evil. We balance the evil we see with our response of hope.
We also read about and practice lament as a form of hopeful resistance. At the end of the semester, students can write a traditional paper or a lament. Last spring 18 out of 20 chose to write a lament. We sat in a public space, on the lawn, reading aloud. People cried and held each other's hands as they read and listened to one another's struggles. I also read a lament. I can't ask for vulnerability from others unless I'm willing to model it.
What we learn together is that we have to talk about the things we are afraid to talk about without covering them with pious platitudes. My students really respond to that kind of radical authenticity and vulnerability.
Interfaith cooperation, my new role, is related to the problem of evil because of religious conflict. I am teaching and researching how we can embrace the religious neighbor and still stay deeply rooted in our own tradition — and how to replace conflict with what I call "collaboration over creed."
Laurie Jungling
Assistant professor of religion,
Augustana College, Sioux Falls, S.D.
I'm interested in the Lutheran concept of vocation as a positive framework for engaging difficult moral issues, particularly issues surrounding sexuality. I think people don't always have a sense of how to discuss difficult issues honestly and fairly, with critical awareness, without screaming at each other.
The young people who take my class on sexual ethics are searching for ways to bring their sexual life into their life with God. After we review the tools of ethics, we talk about how the church has understood gender and sexuality through the ages.
Then we move into contemporary questions. What does it mean to date today? Should I "hook up" or not? Live together before marriage? How do I break up with someone? What role does my faith have in my sex life? Who should I be? What shall I do?
The whole church — not just the ELCA — has a hard time talking about spirituality and sexuality without turning it into a giant no. When I ask students whether sexuality or sexual ethics were ever discussed in confirmation or a church youth group, they say they were only told: "Don't have sex outside marriage."
The lack of training and ability to talk about these things in direct, honest ways that allow people to not be ashamed or scared but to speak thoughtfully and with integrity — this is part of the reason why the sexuality discussions were so difficult.
Shauna K. Hannan
Assistant professor of homiletics,
Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, Columbia, S.C.
Someone asked me, "Why do we sit and listen to a sermon for 15 minutes each week? Why don't we just tweet a little message instead?" Questions like this motivate me to educate the whole church about why we preach. I teach seminarians how to preach collaboratively and I present workshops to laypeople on understanding preaching as a ministry of the whole congregation.
I urge my students to stop being lone rangers and start participating in text studies and talking about Sunday's text when they visit people. I want them to ask people: "What do you think about the text?"
In general graduate students are independent thinkers who don't like group work. But everything we do in the church is completely corporate and collaborative. Sitting alone in an office banging out a sermon gets the job done, but if the whole congregation participates in a conversation around the sermon and the biblical text, very likely the sermons will be more effective and faithful.
I like to remind congregations that as hearers they have a responsibility to participate too. Next time you think the preaching is dull, ask yourself what you can do to give energy to the situation.
Leila Ortiz

My specialty is systematic theology. I use ethnographic methods to observe the social, biblical and ecclesial hermeneutic of Puerto Rican women I call "Luthercostals" because they have come from a Pentecostal background. Because I, too, was born and raised Pentecostal, I'm interested in how they filter this new Lutheran theology through a Pentecostal lens.
When you come to the Lutheran church from another tradition, you tend to "appropriate" it — attempt to make it your own, to feel a sense of belonging within the tradition, theology and liturgy. This doesn't erase your own formation. Instead, faith traditions merge, bringing about something fresh, new and exciting, which gives a different flavor to the tradition already in place.
Someone asked me, at what point do we limit the change and say no, this is the tradition? I believe limiting faith experiences is not our task. We have to let God be God. To say wait a minute, you can't do this, is also oppressive.
Because Latinas have been consistently marginalized in society, church is the place where we are free. Luthercostals see God working in fascinating ways, especially through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit makes many Lutherans uncomfortable. How do you control her? We don't. If service is two hours, it's two hours. This freedom in the Spirit is a gift that Luthercostals bring to the Lutheran church.
Katherine Shaner
Assistant professor of New Testament
General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church, New York
For my dissertation, I tried to tell the story of ancient slavery and show that early Christians were struggling with it. They weren't clearly abolitionists. Galatians 3:28 proclaims that there is neither slave nor free, but Paul also uses the allegory of Hagar and Sarah to admonish Galatians not to be slaves and reprimands slaves as backward, unknowing people.
We want to valorize (assign a value to) early Christians, but they are still struggling with injustice in their world. Sometimes they don't seem to know what the injustice is. That is a piece for us today. I see myself as a faithful Christian, but I am also complicit in systems of injustice I don't even recognize.
I focus on the intersections between slavery, sexuality, gender and race. You can't talk about one without discussing all of them. Feminism, which I teach unabashedly, helps make these connections because it helps us recognize, critique and reconfigure structures of power in our stories of early Christians and our biblical interpretations.
Aana Marie Vigen
Associate professor of Christian social ethics and director of undergraduate majors/minors, Loyola University, Chicago
As a Christian ethicist, I try to equip my students with vital information about pressing ethical challenges without leaving them stranded in hopelessness. I focus on social justice and on how people have previously changed seemingly impossible situations.
Confronting climate change and health-care inequalities fuel my vocational passion. In the U.S., at one end of the spectrum there are 50 million uninsured and 20 million underinsured people. At the other end, we spend more health-care dollars on end-of-life care than on the annual budgets of the departments of Education and Homeland Security combined. People say they want to die at home among friends and family, yet the majority of people over 65 die in nursing homes, skilled care and intensive care units.
In our crazy world, 7 million children under 5 die every year from preventable, treatable diseases in impoverished contexts, while people in resource-rich contexts can get second and even third opinions, traversing elite medical institutions until the end.
Lutheran theological insights about mortality, depending on God's grace instead of trying to save ourselves, and trusting that God accepts us as fallible mortal creatures who are loved and who will die — all this is a radical word in a hyper-medical age.
Lea Schweitz
Assistant professor of systematic theology/religion and science; director of the Zygon Center for Religion and Science, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago
At the Zygon Center we offer conferences, courses, lectures and a film series for students and the public. Our "Epic of Creation" course reviews biblical and theological stories of creation as well as scientific theories. We also delve into the future of creation, looking at what science can tell us about the state of the environment and how we should respond in theology and public policy.
I believe science gives us a faithful window into God's good creation. The more we know, the more wondrous it is and the more its magnificence shines through. Also, basic scientific literacy is important for church leaders serving congregations and ministering to scientists.
The public discourse around science is very polarized — you speak your piece and take your toys and go home. At the Zygon Center we create spaces where people listen first and then thoughtfully respond together.
I believe the interdisciplinary discourse of religion and science is a great vehicle for cultivating dialogical practics that are spiritually formative, creative and respectful.
Victor Thasiah
Assistant professor of religion,
California Lutheran University, Thousand Oaks
Every day we traffic in opinions, biases, prejudices and inconsistencies without carefully scrutinizing what we really think or should do about important global challenges. "Problematizing" is a tactic that complicates what seems obvious or simple, so we can better grasp the complexity of what is happening or what we are studying.
I problematize a lot when I teach. I use rich case studies to explore global conflicts and how religion is related to them. Sometimes religion is the driver, but more often conflicts are really driven by social, political or economic issues.
Students probe what's going on, looking for historical injustices, failures in governance, social inequalities and forms of what we call systemic violence. Then we look at how religion gets worked into the mix, as well as how religion can be a resource for resistance and progress.
So much of our contemporary discourse mistakenly pins the blame for global conflicts on religion. Besides challenging that view, work with these case studies is an act of love because patient, generous understanding of others helps us live in this world together and can make it a better place.
Carmelo Santos

Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
As a chemistry major, when I observed molecules interacting I felt I was witnessing the work of God. To me, science and theology go together. I need both to appreciate the world's beauty.
My specialty is pneumatology, the theology of God's Spirit. My "God in the Brain" course delves into the neuroscience of religious experience.
Brain scan studies have shown that when Franciscan and Carmelite nuns and Buddhist monks pray or meditate, activity decreases in the parts of the brain that define the boundaries of the self — where we start and end. Our feeling of separateness diminishes. Through prayer we can have an experience of unity with the rest of creation.
At the American Academy of Religion I recently presented a paper that used affective neuroscience, the study of emotions, to try to understand what I am observing among people in my congregation.
Some immigrant women from El Salvador, Bolivia and Honduras who are painfully shy when they first come to church are transformed as the congregation embraces them. They stand taller. The way they dress and move changes. They seem more confident.
I want to understand theologically and scientifically how the Holy Spirit is working in their lives. What I learn will help me be a better pastor, and when I publish my results, I can help inform the work of other ministers.

Just war theory is one of the longest traditions of moral thinking in the Christian church. My dissertation research showed me that just war theory is very Western, very white, and not informed by contributions from nontraditional, non-Western sources.
|Carmelo Santos, a pastor of St. Mark Lutheran Church, Springfield, Va., lectures about "God and the Brain" at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
In my dissertation I turned to African-American voices like Cornel West and the black press of the early 20th century, which raised questions about World War I and the Spanish-American War.
When we listen to other sources, the questions change. Instead of asking, do we have "enough power" to win a war, we ask, is the power being used morally? Can we rely on the "authorities"? What happens to our ethics when we broaden the circle of participants and include voices that have traditionally been excluded? Sometimes only a closed circle gets to do moral reasoning.
Recently I participated in the process of drafting the ELCA social statement on criminal justice. I have a brother who is incarcerated, so I have concerns about non-dependent relatives. Applying my approach of broadening the conversation informs the way I do ethics. I want to be sure that we include perspectives that represent our diverse world.

Rocklin man who allegedly killed three in Salmon Falls Road crash set for trial
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
Principal said school community thinks about deceased student on "regular basis"
A man whose last known address was in Rocklin is expected to begin a trial in October for the alleged killing of his three passengers in an accident in November 2009 on Salmon Falls Road near Pilot Hill. Mark Steven Barrera, who was 20 when the accident occurred, was arraigned on a grand jury indictment on May 2, according to Joe Alexander, the El Dorado County prosecutor on the case. "He was indicted for three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence," Alexander said. Alexander said Barrera entered a not guilty plea. According to Alexander, Barrera is set for a jury trial on Oct. 11, and the trial is estimated to last about two weeks. The accident connected to the case occurred in late November 2009. Barrera, who was driving the car, allegedly lost control on a sharp curve of the winding country road, slamming into an oak tree. Passengers Nan Hee Pak, a 16-year-old junior at Rocklin High School, and Citrus Heights resident Alex Weast, 20, were pronounced dead at the scene. The third passenger, Ellijah, "E.J." Shaw, 18, a senior at Folsom High School, was flown to Sutter Roseville Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Barrera was treated at the hospital and released. In July 2010 Officer Dan Stark, with the California Highway Patrol Placerville Office, said street racing was a factor in the crash. Officers also said they believed speed was a factor at the time of the accident. "Drifting is considered a form of street racing," Stark said. "Although there didn't appear to be a second car involved in the accident, drifting was certainly a factor." In August 2010 the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office issued a declaration in support of warrant of arrest because of the belief that Barrera allegedly committed three counts of vehicular manslaughter. A warrant was issued for Barrera's arrest. His bail was set at $100,000, according to court records. The grand jury filed its indictment April 22, 2011, charging Barrera with three felony counts of unlawfully and without malice killing a human being, "while driving a vehicle in the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, and with gross negligence; or while driving a vehicle in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and with gross negligence," according to court documents. Attempts to reach Barrera and his attorney, James Clark, of Placerville, for comment were unsuccessful Thursday. According to court records, Barrera is out of custody on bail. Kathryn Allaman, principal of Folsom High School, said she had not heard about the developments in the case, and hadn't heard anyone on campus expressing concerns about the case. Shaw's memory is still a part of the school, Allaman said. "I stay in regular contact with E.J.'s mother, and I have not talked to her yet this school year, but E.J. is forever in our hearts," she said. "And we have a memorial scholarship, his family has established a memorial scholarship, in his name. We think about him on a regular basis." Reach Bridget Jones at email@example.com

When a hot ass and sweet hole is in front of you....and the junk is just hanging there, who cares if it's a guy, gay, CD, or a sissy. Hope these photos provoke naughty thoughts. Imagine your face in their business...kissing, licking, rimming, and thrusting your tongue deep in their hole. Sure you can shove your cock in there and pop off a load, but some of these sissies have such sweet, young and tender licking zones, it's worth the delicate attention.

The daughter of a late patient stood at the podium, tears streaming down her face. The blonde woman recalled the bond between her mother and caregiver Beverly Rudd, adding that Rudd helped her cope with her mother's eminent death. "Beverly read the Bible to my mother, she held her hand. She held my hand. She has become family," the woman said.
Story after story celebrated Rudd, a certified nursing assistant with Covington Care Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, as she was honored as the Tennessee Health Care Association's (THCA) 2013 Caregiver of the Year on Friday, Nov. 22. The award, presented by THCA, recognized Rudd for "exemplifying quality in the provision of 24-hour nursing home care to those who are chronically ill or injured, have health care needs as well as personal needs, and are unable to function independently."
Rudd, who has worked at Covington Care for 16 years, was celebrated by more than 100 in attendance, including patients, staff, members of THCA, family and local dignitaries Representative Debra Moody and Vice Mayor John Edwards.
Also noted was "The Day Resort," a program Rudd began as a tool to help those patients with dementia. Rudd decorated an empty room, researched and initiated different tasks to increase mind and body activity. The result has been fewer falls, an increase in weight and less negative behaviors.
"Beverly is known for always putting others first," said Jesse Samples, THCA's executive director. "In addition to providing excellent care to residents, Beverly is there for her coworkers and for the community."

Two vacationers from Pennsylvania were killed late this morning when troopers say they were hit by an out of control vehicle on the outer banks.
1st Sgt. Jeff Gordon says the accident happened on Highway 12 in Currituck County near the water treatment plant around 11:30 a.m.
Gordon says Troy Bowman of Ashburn, Virginia was heading north on Highway 12 when they say he fell asleep. His SUV ran off the right shoulder and hit the two pedestrians.
The Highway Patrol says Wesley & Elizabeth Martin of Lancaster, Pennsylvania were walking with their backs to the traffic on a paved pedestrian and bicycle path.
The 50-year-old Bowman has been charged with careless and reckless driving and two counts of misdemeanor death by motor vehicle.
Troopers say Bowman's 10 year old son was with him in the vehicle, while the Martins' four children, ranging in age from 11 to 18, were on the beach with family members when the accident occurred.
