text: Brush Prairie — The Rocksolid Community Teen Center got a surprise donation from Starting Grounds Church in Battle Ground: paper plates, napkins, garbage bags, batteries, hand sanitizer and tissues. "Starting Grounds just called one day in late March to ask what we needed," said Rocksolid executive director Nancy Miller. "So I told them we go through a minimum of 40 plates and napkins per day. I also listed some other items we go through quickly around here. On June 1 they showed up and presented us with all of these items!"

Experience the fire and light of your soul come alive and flow like liquid through your entire being. Together, between vigorous yoga practices, sweet and deep vinyasa waves, peeling emerald green tubes, untouched beaches and verdant jungle landscapes, we will support one another in an adventure that is as much about diving deep into our practice as it is about celebrating community and friendship, surf, delicious food and local culture.
You have just arrived at a hidden tropical paradise in the jungle of Nicaragua for a magical week of exploration and bliss led by Colin Brightfield & Rebecca Schol.
LIQUID FIRE RETREAT – Yoga + Surf Adventure, Nicaragua
June 19th to June 25th, 2016 – Summer Solstice 2016
with Colin Brightfield & Rebecca Schol
A Typical Day…
Wake up to the howls of monkeys in the trees and head to the jungle yoga studio. Enjoy a sunrise with a morning meditation as the Nicaraguan sun slowly rises and the birds start their song. We'll transition into a rejuvenating vinyasa flow yoga practice that sharpens the senses and energizes you for your day.
Following practice, we'll enjoy a healthy breakfast followed by free time for exploring the area, catching surf or a nap, lounging or making new best friends. Eat your freshly sourced lunch while you discuss which surf spots to check out or whether to play a unique jungle disc golf course or go on a catamaran cruise tomorrow. Take in the afternoon any way your spirit moves you. Follow your bliss.
Cruise to back to your mat in the early evening. Move through a relaxing yoga flow that's just enough to stoke your appetite for the delicious supper that awaits you, even catching a few wafts of what's cooking while arching into your upward dog.
Connect with everyone in the main lodge for a family style supper while you recount the fun of the day, laugh with new friends, and plot the next day's surf escapades and mischief.
Collapse on your bed, instantly floating off into a restorative sleep in a stupor of joy combined with deep relaxation and calm. Wake up the next day to do it all again. We're looking forward to stoking the liquid fire with you.

Retreat Information
At Jai Rhythm we look for like-minded and passionate people to work with when we decide on a retreat location. The team behind Maderas Village are the real deal, and are bringing into fruition a new way to approach modern life, balance and traveling. We are honored and excited to be bringing our tribe to the absolute best spot in Nicaragua for a yoga and surf adventure.
The Maderas Village is a short walk from Maderas beach and a 20 minute shuttle from San Juan del Sur. This surf village helps make transportation arrangements to get people to and from San Juan del Sur, Rivas, San Jorge, Grenada, or Managua.
Yoga practices will be rejuvenating and support the play we are doing off of our mats. We will begin each morning with a sunrise meditation that will open us up to our surroundings and help us get present to the amazing day we have ahead of us. Our meditation will gently segue into our flow yoga practice. Morning practices will tend to be more vigorous and fiery, while the afternoon practices will tend to be more grounding and assist in unwinding from the activities and adventures of the day.
Maderas Village takes food very seriously. It's personal to them. It's not just the act of nourishment, but the source of energy. Nightly pre-fixe dinners are served to guests seated at a large communal table, and enjoyed over tales of surf & travel, philosophical quandaries, and debates of the mind. Maderas Village goes to great lengths to make their food something to remember. They offer local and fresh food to their guests daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have a primarily pescatarian menu that is locally inspired and is described by guests as, "simplicity done to perfection." While the kitchen is always open for lunch, Taco's Locos on the Beach is always a nice treat and offers the best fish tacos in Nicaragua.
Two group surf sessions including lesson and board rental are included in the retreat rates and will include guidance by Colin Brightfield and local surf guides. The schedule of these two sessions will be determined by wave, tide and weather conditions on site during the week of the retreat. While staying at Maderas Village you'll always find someone who wants to walk down to the beach, tell a surf story, share a surf secret, or debate a surf question. We foster an environment of advancement, where your level of skill isn't nearly as important as your level of passion. Paddle out, charge hard, and smile & you'll fit right in with the rest of us. The home break is Playa Maderas, a beach break that works best during the two hour period on either side of High Tide. Due to it's location just West of Lake Nicaragua, Maderas gets hit with about 320 days a year of offshore winds making it's consistency uncanny. It averages waves of 4-6 feet in the green season (Apr – Oct). The water temperature ranges from 20 degrees – 25 degrees, so never a need for more than a vest. Maderas surf guides often take surf trips in our safari to Hermosa and Remanso ($15 & $10 per person), as well as boat trips to more remote breaks of Colorado, Manzenio, and Panga Drops ($30 per person).
Maderas Village is an airy, sustainably-minded Surf Village nestled into a hillside jungle, overlooking Maderas beach. Guests describe The Maderas Village as an undiscovered boutique resort, a summer camp for adults, or a retirement community for young people. Nicaragua is full of natural beauty and a rich cultural history. While we love to see people fall in love with the Maderas life and never leave, we also encourage people to experience the other parts of Nicaragua that make living here so much fun.
Managua Intl Airport is closest and we can help set up a shuttle for you (and possibly others if they arrive at the same time). Just let us know your flight details and we can take it from there. It's best to try to arrive between mid morning and mid afternoon, and depart noon onwards.

text: Hello, I have got bored by doing the same task for all days. Actually i usually make reports by using Microsoft access. I am currently using windows 7 on my computer. It takes so much time to make reports and sent to all of the members of our office. I do have format for reports but still it is much time consuming while sending it. I think MARS 5.6 can solve my problem. Can this would be something really useful for me ?

James and Neil – Passion is Aggression (LIVE)
#1 we performed at the Camden Head open mic night
Muse at the o2 Stadium, London, October 27th 2012
There have been three amazing concerts in my life that stand out and that I will never forget. 1) Metallica in Brisbane in 2004 2) Foo Fighters Festival at Milton Keynes bowl in 2011 and just recently 3) the Muse Concert at the 02 Stadium, October 27th.
It was sensational. The Music was huge, the lighting amazing and the pyramid screen rig – was altogether its own amazing alien feature in itself, with a life of its own.
Find attached some of the pics from the concert taken on my Samsung S3.
Open Mic – Camden 15th July 2012

Blue tit fledgling
Blue tit fledgling that had been got at by a dog at Eastham Country Park.
I took the small bird to the area where it was attacked and placed it in the undergrowth in the hope that it's mother would find it.
When I returned to check an hour later it had gone, so fingers crossed it was re-united with it's mum...Moral of the story...Keep your dogs under control.

The restrictions would limit where sex offenders can live in the Valley's most populated areas where schools are clustered.
Arizona's proposed law continues a national trend of residency restrictions that supporters say remove child predators from temptation.
Critics nationwide say the bans have made it difficult for offenders to find housing, which had led to homelessness, making it hard for states to keep track of sex offenders.
"I'm not concerned about how inconvenient this is to convicted sex offenders. I'm more concerned about the safety of children," said Sen. Jay Tibshraeny, R-Chandler, who sponsored the bill.
Tibshraeny drew a distinction between the Arizona proposal and states experiencing such unintended consequences, including Iowa, where lawmakers are considering repealing residency restrictions. Iowa's boundary is 2,000 feet, which is larger than Arizona's proposal, and Iowa's law targets all sex offenders, not just high-risk offenders.
Bill targets highest riskIn Arizona's most populous county, Maricopa County, the bill would affect about 600 sex offenders who are deemed the highest risk, said Barbara Broderick, the county's chief adult probation officer.
Those Level 3 sex offenders generally have been convicted of multiple crimes against multiple victims, and the victims suffered severe physical injuries, she said.
The bill does not have significant opposition in the Legislature and was approved preliminarily Thursday in a House committee, 7-0. It already passed the full Senate, 27-2.
When 700-foot buffer zones around schools and child-care facilities are plotted on a map, most of the restricted areas are concentrated in central Phoenix and other populated areas.
Unlike the restricted areas in other states, the Arizona buffers do not all overlap each other. That means sex offenders would not be completely forced out of the Valley.
The convicted offenders who currently live within 700 feet - roughly the length of two football fields - of schools or child-care facilities would not be required to move if the proposal were to become law. It would apply only to offenders who change homes.
A statewide solution would head off municipal ordinances to restrict where sex offenders can live, said Mesa Vice Mayor Claudia Walters, who approached Tibshraeny about sponsoring the bill.
Problems could arise if one city passed strict residency restrictions, forcing sex offenders to move into neighboring cities, Walters said.
When the bill is considered by the full House, Tibshraeny said an amendment will be voted on to forbid municipalities from passing tougher residency restrictions than the state's.
In 2005, a law was passed to limit to 10 percent the number of sex offenders who can live in the same apartment complex. However, the current bill would create the first buffer zone.
Although no members of the House Human Services Committee voted against the bill Thursday, some said they were skeptical that residency restrictions would be effective.
"It seems to me that the evidence doesn't support large footage restrictions for this population," said Rep. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix.
Barto was the lawmaker who suggested dropping the buffer to 700 feet from the original 1,500-foot proposal.
Rep. Andy Tobin, R-Paulden, disagreed with Barto's assessment: "If I'm going to err, I'd rather err on the other side."
At least 20 states and even more cities have approved residency restrictions for sex offenders.
'Feel-good, quick fixes'A national hysteria about sex offenders has led to illogical public policy that has not been proven to make children safer, said Nancy Sabin, executive director of the Jacob Wetterling Foundation, a victim advocacy organization in Minnesota.
"There's an awful lot of legislators going for the feel-good, quick fixes to enhance their own careers and reputation," Sabin said. "We need to marry policy with science-based tools.
"Stop having lay people figure out goofy things that don't work, like green license plates, pink license plates, e-mail registries, chemical castration and residency restrictions."
Instead of enacting public policy such as residency restrictions, more resources should be spent on preventing sex crimes in which the victim and perpetrator know each other, which make up the majority of such crimes, Sabin said.
If the bill were to become law, a violator could be charged with a misdemeanor and face up to six months in jail.
Senate Bill 1555 would not apply to Level 3 sex offenders who already are on probation and being monitored. In Maricopa County, that is about 130 people, Broderick said. Once they are off probation, the bill's requirements would kick in.
It also would not apply to a sex offender who has not been convicted of a subsequent sex crime within 10 years of release from jail.
And the bill would not put restrictions on where teenage offenders can live while they are teens. However, it would apply to an underage sex offender tried as an adult when the offender turns 18.
Rhonda Lee of Phoenix has a family member who went to jail for a sex crime at age 15. In the seven years since the incident, Lee said she has met many teenagers who committed sex crimes and has taken up their cause.
It is hard enough for the young offenders to learn job skills, find jobs, pay for housing and meet probation requirements, which is why Lee said she opposes additional residency restrictions.
"It is so hard to believe unless you live it and you know the child (offender) personally," she said. "The public is so misled about this."
Lee added that she thinks the most violent adult sex offenders should be in prison and not on the street anyway.

New London - There are economic realities in the city, including property taxes and limited funds to support an adequate police force and repair roads and sidewalks. But the issue that stood out at a candidates' debate Tuesday night was racism.
"Does racism and racial privilege exist in New London and what can we do about it?" was one of the questions audience members posed to candidates. Judy Dolphin of the League of Women Voters of Southeastern Connecticut, who moderated the debate at the New London Science & Technology Magnet High School, read the questions aloud to candidates.
For many of the 16 candidates running for seven seats on the City Council, the answer was "yes."
"Yes, there is an issue that we who are middle class and white don't see," said Ronna Stuller, a Green Party candidate for City Council.
"Racism still exists," said Democrat City Councilor Anthony Nolan, who is seeking a second term. The black city police officer said he encounters racism in his job.
"I'm a nice person. I don't care what people say," he said. "Whites say negative things to me. Black say negative things to me."
"Racism exists everywhere in this country," said Keith Robbins, who is running on the Republican ticket. "But we've come a long way in New London." He cited the Elks club, which he said was a "white boys' club" but will soon have a black exalted ruler.
"We have to stop putting labels on each other," Robbins said. "Hey, I'm a bald-headed Irish guy with a Polish mother. But we can all work together."
Republican candidate William Vogel said he sees economic imbalances and education as bigger impediments than racism. Bringing more students from the suburbs into New London schools with the new magnet school plan, he said, could help ease some of the "economic stratification."
But Democratic incumbent Wade Hyslop and Democratic newcomer Erica Richardson, who are both black, chastised Vogel for implying the schools are inferior because the majority of students are racial minorities.
We can't look at our schools as the problem, he said. "Every kid needs an education."
Most of the candidates who addressed the topic of racism - the question was posed to only four candidates, but others chose to add to the discussion - said treating each other with respect is a way to overcome differences.
Michael Tranchida, a Democrat, former city clerk and lifelong resident, said there's been racism in this country "since the Mayflower."
"We're a very blended city. And every day, the city moves forward," he said.
Democratic candidate Efrain Dominguez said kindness to others has to be taught at home and then carried through to schools and into civic life.
"I've been a teacher for 16 years and I treat my class as a family," he said.
Republican candidate Dennis Downing found the simplest way to address the problem. Just say hello, he said. "We have to start somewhere. We're all just people."
Also attending the debate were City Councilor Marie Friess-McSparran, a Democrat running on the Republican ticket; Council President Michael Passero; Carl Lee, a petitioning candidate; Democrat Laura Natusch; and Republicans Michael Doyle, Katelin Teel and Martin T. Olsen.
The city's registered voters have a diverse field of candidates to choose from. Of the seven Democrats, seven Republicans, Green Party candidate and independent petitioning candidate, there are four minorities, four incumbents and five women running for City Council.
The debate was sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Southeastern Connecticut, the New London Neighborhood Alliance and New London Parent Advocates.

Politicians and car dealers (mostly used car dealers) usually find themselves in the same classification as lawyers. So when the first two groups square off against each other, it's tough to decide who to root for.
Maybe not.
Check out how a Detroit-area dealership is using the words of Alabama Senator Richard Shelby-- a politician with at least 3 foreign auto plants in his state and a vocal critic of the Detroit 3-- to sell cars.
I'll take the side of the car dealer in this one.

Update on AnatoliyAnatoliy lives in Velikaya Znamenka in the Zaporozhski region of Ukraine. He started a business with his wife in 2002. In the beginning they were selling plastic sheeting from a truck, then started a market stall where they sold seeds and then finally were able to rent a store space of their own. Currently the two own three stores, one in Velikaya Znamenka and two others in Kamenka. Their store sells agricultural goods and equipment: fertilizer, pesticide, seeds, plastic sheeting for greenhouses etc. Their store is popular and has regular clients. Anatoliy and his wife work hard and because of that are successful. They are not planning to stop and want to always improve and expand their business.
Anatoliy wants to invest 20,000 griven from Kiva by purchasing additional goods for sale. He has an agricultural degree and a lot of experience in this profession. In the summer season there is a lot of demand for fertilizer and pesticide in the regions, and Anatoliy wants to be sure to buy quality products in sufficient amounts so that his clients have everything they wish to buy on hand.

About HOPE UkraineHOPE International, a Christian faith-based non-profit organization, has been operating in Ukraine since 1997. HOPE Ukraine was the organization's first international venture. In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
