USA looked deflated after the tough loss they suffered the previous night, but Puerto Rico just doesn't have enough talent to stay with the better teams...even against those that don't bring their A game.

2008 adidas Nations Camp: Day 2
By Aran_Smith
Sun, 08/10/2008 - 2:07pm
On Saturday the Nations camp got into full swing with morning scrimmages between the college players followed by afternoon and evening games among the Nations U18 players. It's a bit of a 3-ring circus as at times all 6 courts are being used making it impossible to take in even half of the action at one time. So the dilemma is whether to sit and watch complete games or move around and try to take in as much action as possible. I find myself opting for the latter.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A young woman whose car flipped onto its side and caught fire in Portland says she's grateful to the passing motorist who stopped and pulled her from the vehicle.
Police say 21-year-old Jerusalem Dimbore fell asleep at the wheel and crashed Thursday night. She tells KGW-TV her seat belt was holding her up.
Shawn Stevenson says he and his family were on their way to visit their grandmother when he saw the car flipped on its side.
He says Dimbore was trapped inside and pounding on the windows as flames began to erupt. KGW says he smashed a back window with a hammer that a neighbor tossed to him. Then he pulled Dimbore from the burning car.
She escaped with only minor cuts and bruises.

Teshuvah - Chapter Three
Each and every person has merits and sins. A person whose merits exceed his sins is [termed] righteous. A person whose sins exceed his merits is [termed] wicked. If [his sins and merits] are equal, he is termed a Beinoni.
The same applies to an entire country. If the merits of all its inhabitants exceed their sins, it is [termed] righteous. If their sins are greater, it is [termed] wicked. The same applies to the entire world.
If a person's sins exceed his merits, he will immediately die because of his wickedness as [Jeremiah 30:14] states: "[I have smitten you...] for the multitude of your transgressions."
Similarly, a country whose sins are great will immediately be obliterated as implied by [Genesis 18:20]: "The outcry of Sodom and Amorah is great....
In regard to the entire world as well, were its [inhabitants'] sins to be greater than their merits, they would immediately be destroyed as [Genesis 6:5] relates: "God saw the evil of man was great... [and God said: `I will destroy man....']"
This reckoning is not calculated [only] on the basis of the number of merits and sins, but also [takes into account] their magnitude. There are some merits which outweigh many sins as implied by [I Kings 14:13]: "Because in him, there was found a good quality." In contrast, a sin may outweigh many merits as [Ecclesiastes 9:18] states: "One sin may obscure much good."
The weighing [of sins and merits] is carried out according to the wisdom of the Knowing God. He knows how to measure merits against sins.
Anyone who changes his mind about the mitzvot he has performed and regrets the merits [he has earned], saying in his heart: "What value was there in doing them? I wish I hadn't performed them" - loses them all and no merit is preserved for him at all as [Ezekiel 33:12] states "The righteousness of the upright will not save him on the day of his transgression." This only applies to one who regrets his previous [deeds].
Just as a person's merits and sins are weighed at the time of his death, so, too, the sins of every inhabitant of the world together with his merits are weighed on the festival of Rosh HaShanah. If one is found righteous, his [verdict] is sealed for life. If one is found wicked, his [verdict] is sealed for death. A Beinoni's verdict remains tentative until Yom Kippur. If he repents, his [verdict] is sealed for life. If not, his [verdict] is sealed for death.
Even though the sounding of the shofar on Rosh HaShanah is a decree, it contains an allusion. It is as if [the shofar's call] is saying:
Wake up you sleepy ones from your sleep and you who slumber, arise. Inspect your deeds, repent, remember your Creator. Those who forget the truth in the vanities of time and throughout the entire year, devote their energies to vanity and emptiness which will not benefit or save: Look to your souls. Improve your ways and your deeds and let every one of you abandon his evil path and thoughts.
Accordingly, throughout the entire year, a person should always look at himself as equally balanced between merit and sin and the world as equally balanced between merit and sin. If he performs one sin, he tips his balance and that of the entire world to the side of guilt and brings destruction upon himself.
[On the other hand,] if he performs one mitzvah, he tips his balance and that of the entire world to the side of merit and brings deliverance and salvation to himself and others. This is implied by [Proverbs 10:25] "A righteous man is the foundation of the world," i.e., he who acted righteously, tipped the balance of the entire world to merit and saved it.
For these reasons, it is customary for all of Israel to give profusely to charity, perform many good deeds, and be occupied with mitzvot from Rosh HaShanah until Yom Kippur to a greater extent than during the remainder of the year.
During these ten days, the custom is for everyone to rise [while it is still] night and pray in the synagogues with heart-rending words of supplication until daybreak.
When a person's sins are being weighed against his merits, [God] does not count a sin that was committed only once or twice. [A sin] is only [counted] if it was committed three times or more.
Should it be found that [even] those sins committed more than three times outweigh a person's merits, the sins that were committed twice [or less] are also added and he is judged for all of his sins.
If his merits are equal to [or greater than the amount of] his sins committed which were committed more than three times, [God] forgives his sins one after the other, i.e., the third sin [is forgiven because] it is considered as a first sin, for the two previous sins were already forgiven. Similarly, after the third sin is forgiven, the fourth sin is considered as a "first" [sin and is forgiven according to the same principle].
The same [pattern is continued] until [all his sins] are concluded.
When does the above apply? In regard to an individual as can be inferred from [Job 33:29] "All these things, God will do twice or three times with a man." However, in regard to a community, [retribution for] the first, second, and third sins is held in abeyance as implied by [Amos 2:6] "For three sins of Israel, [I will withhold retribution,] but for the fourth, I will not withhold it." When a reckoning [of their merits and sins] is made according to the above pattern, the reckoning begins with the fourth [sin].
[As mentioned above,] a Beinoni [is one whose scale is equally balanced between merit and sin]. However, if among his sins is [the
neglect of the mitzvah of] tefillin [to the extent that] he never wore them even once, he is judged according to his sins. He will, nevertheless, be granted a portion in the world to come.
Similarly, all the wicked whose sins are greater [than their merits] are judged according to their sins, but they are granted a portion in the world to come for all Israel have a share in the world to come as [Isaiah 60:21] states "Your people are all righteous, they shall inherit the land forever." "The land" is an analogy alluding to "the land of life," i.e., the world to come. Similarly, the "pious of the nations of the world" have a portion in the world to come.
The following individuals do not have a portion in the world to come. Rather, their [souls] are cut off and they are judged for their great wickedness and sins, forever:
the Minim,
the Epicursim,
those who deny the Torah,
those who deny the resurrection of the dead and the coming of the [Messianic] redeemer,
those who rebel [against God],
those who cause the many to sin,
those who separate themselves from the community,
those who proudly commit sins in public as Jehoyakim did,
those who betray Jews to gentile authorities,
those who cast fear upon the people for reasons other than the service of God,
one who extends his foreskin [so as not to appear circumcised].
Five individuals are described as Minim:
a) one who says there is no God nor ruler of the world;
b) one who accepts the concept of a ruler, but maintains that there are two or more;
c) one who accepts that there is one Master [of the world], but maintains that He has a body or form;
d) one who maintains that He was not the sole First Being and Creator of all existence;
e) one who serves a star, constellation, or other entity so that it will serve as an intermediary between him and the eternal Lord.
Each of these five individuals is a Min.
Three individuals are described as Epicursim:
a) one who denies the existence of prophecy and maintains that there is no knowledge communicated from God to the hearts of men;
b) one who disputes the prophecy of Moses, our teacher;'
c) one who maintains that the Creator is not aware of the deeds of men.
Each of these three individuals is an Epicurus.
There are three individuals who are considered as one "who denies the Torah":
a) one who says Torah, even one verse or one word, is not from God. If he says: "Moses made these statements independently," he is denying the Torah.
b) one who denies the Torah's interpretation, the oral law, or disputes [the authority of] its spokesmen as did Tzadok and Beitus.
c) one who says that though the Torah came from God, the Creator has replaced one mitzvah with another one and nullified the original Torah, like the Arabs [and the Christians].
Each of these three individuals is considered as one who denies the Torah.
Among Israel, there are two categories of apostates: an apostate in regard to a single mitzvah and an apostate in regard to the entire Torah.
An apostate in regard to a single mitzvah is someone who has made a practice of willfully committing a particular sin [to the point where] he is accustomed to committing it and his deeds are public knowledge. [This applies] even though [the sin] is one of the minor ones. For example, someone who has made a practice of constantly wearing sha'atnez or cutting off his sideburns so that it appears that, in regard to him, it is as if this mitzvah has been nullified entirely. Such a person is considered an apostate in regard to that matter. This applies [only] if he [commits the sin] with the intent of angering God.
An example of an apostate in regard to the entire Torah is one who turn to the faith of the gentiles when they enact [harsh] decrees [against the Jews] and clings to them, saying: "What value do I have in clinging to Israel while they are debased and pursued. It's better to cling to those who have the upper hand." Such an individual is an apostate in regard to the entire Torah.
[The category of] "those who cause the many to sin" includes those who cause them to commit a severe sin like Jeroboam, Tzadok, or Beitus; and also, those who cause them to commit a slight sin, even the nullification of a positive command.
It includes [both] those who force others to sin like Menasheh who would kill the Jews if they did not worship idols and those who entice others and lead them astray.
A person who separates himself from the community [may be placed in this category] even though he has not transgressed any sins. A person who separates himself from the congregation of Israel and does not fulfill mitzvot together with them, does not take part in their hardships, or join in their [communal] fasts, but rather goes on his own individual path as if he is from another nation and not [Israel], does not have a portion in the world to come.
"Those who proudly commit sins in public as Jehoyakim did," whether they commit slight sins or severe ones, have no portion in the world to come. Such behavior is referred to as "acting brazen-facedly against the Torah," for he acted insolently, in open [defiance], without feeling any shame despite the Torah's words.
There are two categories of "those who betray Jews to gentiles:" one who betrays a colleague to the gentiles so that they may kill him or beat him; and one who gives over a colleague's money to gentiles or to a person who commandeers property and is, therefore, considered like a gentile.
Neither of the two has a portion in the world to come.
"Those who cast fear upon the people for reasons other than the service of God" - This refers to one who rules the community with a strong hand and [causes] them to revere and fear him. His intent is only for his own honor and none of his desires are for God's honor; for example, the gentile kings.
All the twenty four individuals listed above will not receive a portion in the world to come even though they are Jewish.
There are other sins which are less severe than those mentioned. Nevertheless, our Sages said that a person who frequently commits them will not receive a portion in the world to come and [counseled] that these [sins] be avoided and care be taken in regard to them. They are:
one who invents a [disparaging] nickname for a colleague; one who calls a colleague by a [disparaging] nickname;
one who embarrasses a colleague in public;
one who takes pride in his colleague's shame;
one who disgraces Torah Sages;
one who disgraces his teachers;
one who degrades the festivals; and
one who profanes sacred things.
When does the statement that these individuals do not have a portion in the world to come apply? When they die without having repented. However, if such a person repents from his wicked deeds and dies as a Baal-Teshuvah, he will merit the world to come, for nothing can stand in the way of Teshuvah.
Even if he denies God's existence throughout his life and repents in his final moments, he merits a portion in the world to come as implied by [Isaiah 57:19] "`Peace, peace, to the distant and the near,' declares God. `I will heal him.'"
Any wicked person, apostate, or the like, who repents, whether in an open, revealed manner or in private, will be accepted as implied by [Jeremiah 3:22] "Return, faithless children." [We may infer] that even if one is still faithless, as obvious from the fact that he repents in private and not in public, his Teshuvah will be accepted.

Those horns are designed for TTs, they're meant to put you into a low down position similar to drops but further forward. That's why they bend down from the stem. Hell, they work best with about 5cm more saddle to bar drop than you'd ever normally ride.
Get some regular bullhorns, it'll be a better riding position and not look goofy. After a month of these faux mavic bars I gave up and switched back to drops.

NANTUCKET, Mass. — "I've got to tell you today is an absolutely perfect Windstopper day," said Bruce Troutman, thermal product development director for W.L. Gore & Associates.
This story first appeared in the May 15, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Apparently, 42 m.p.h. winds and overcast skies here were a good thing in Troutman's eyes, as he enthusiastically welcomed a dozen media types before a two-hour hike through the island's woods and wetlands. There's nothing like a "nor'easter," New Englanders' nickname for whipping northeasterly storms blowing in from the ocean, to ratchet up wear-testing a few notches.
"Are you familiar with the wind-chill effect? You will be today," said Mark Hepler, Gore-Tex's footwear account manager.
Instead of using University of Delaware students to test out its products as it typically does, W.L. Gore & Associates rounded up a less seasoned cast.
"Trained athletes do not make good test subjects because they're used to pain and discomfort," Troutman said.
So, Gore recruited about a dozen reporters for a three-day getaway this month filled with hiking, biking and play-by-play product briefings. An escape to the great outdoors was the draw for most, but Windstopper, AirVantage and Gore-Tex XCR footwear were the focus for Gore executives, as proven by their interest in plunging hands into buckets of ice water, spraying air-packed aerosol cans on windbreakers and inflating vests.
That's no surprise, since Gore staffers are known to cut out of meetings at their Elkton, Md., headquarters to do some wear-testing of their own, provided it's raining hard enough. They are equally diplomatic about their definition of comfort.
"Comfort is what works for you," Troutman said.
They're keeping the terms loose and developing climate-controlled items for today's finicky, nomadic consumers who want one outfit to take them from one activity to the next, regardless of any change in temperature.
Troutman, a 20-year Gore veteran, admitted that even he had reservations about new technology when he first got involved with the company. A former outdoor leadership instructor in the Adirondacks, Troutman initially worked for Gore as a consultant and had his students wear-test prototypes.
"The first year in, I didn't trust this at all," he said. "We carried double gear."
But once he experienced the benefits of "breathable" clothing, he bid good bye to braving the outdoors in water-soaked cotton and PVC ponchos. Two decades later, he aims to keep his team focused on the end users' needs, which rank easy care as a top priority.
The group assembled one Friday night on an island best known for its whaling days and quiet retreats to find out how to stay dry in the outdoors.
Troutman's pitch centered on Airvantage, an adjustable insulation system for outerwear, which allows wearers to inflate their jackets or vests by blowing a few short breaths into a hidden valve. When they overheat, they unplug the valve to deflate the garment. On average, the technology adds about $90 to a garment's retail price.
Charlie Thwaites, a Scotland-based Gore staffer, developed the adjustable insulation concept and fine-tuned the product. Gore tested it in "some pretty severe environments" in South America, Canada and the Rockies, Troutman said.
"We wanted to solve a need in the marketplace for people who didn't want bulk, but still wanted protection," he said. "Until that point, we'd been focused on keeping water out. But keeping air in is another game."
Marmot, Oakley, Columbia, Rossignol and Rainforest are some of the usual suspects offering the technology, but less athletic-oriented labels like London Fog, Lands' End, Hugo Boss and Swiss Army are also interested.
Most of the crowd considered the product to be a practical option, save for a Health magazine editor who had her readers' hygiene concerns in mind. Suspecting some consumers might not be thrilled about using the valve, Gore has developed disposable caps and a tongue-and-cheek marketing campaign with the tag line, "Inflate Responsibly."
Troutman also made mention of how Gore staffers tried unsuccessfully to grow any sustainable bacteria and mildew in AirVantage chambers.
"We haven't seen any dead colonies," Troutman said.
Meanwhile, editors wondered, "That's good to know. Is it time for dinner?"
By the following morning, the focus shifted to Windstopper soft-shell fabrics, insulated stretch material designed to be windproof, breathable and water resistant. Created by the same team that developed Gore-Tex, Windstopper is a membrane with 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square inch. Thin enough to let perspiration escape, but thick enough to keep wind out. The membrane is bonded between two layers of a high-performance fabric.
During a nature hike the following day, Windstopper jackets shielded the group from blasts of wind even though red-tail hawks and osprey struggled in the gusts. They also did the job after a few brave souls dove into a pond to cool off from a bike ride.
With more sports-minded people recognizing the benefits of Windstopper, Gore aims to gain consumers outside the athletic realm. Windstopper now accounts for 20 percent of Gore's sales. The company has approached Kenneth Cole, Swiss Army and Brooks Bros. about using Windstopper.
"It's not just on the mountains anymore," Hepler said.
Tom Cabaniss, Windstopper product specialist, said recent research has shown that once a consumer buys a Gore product, they typically buy five more.
"What we're hearing from people is that consumers are becoming savvy enough to ask for specific items," Cabaniss said.
Time constraints and other sociological changes are prompting more people to tackle outdoor activities in a day instead of a few days, Troutman said. Given that, they experience a variety of weather changes since they may limit their ascent and/or descent in one day, for example.
Gore, in turn, is also trying to speed up its research and development. With 5,000 employees and $1.3 billion in sales, that calls for a lot of legwork and chasing down every lead. The company is experimenting with the use of global positioning devices in clothing — something that would be useful to climbers and firefighters alike.
"There's a book about business called, 'Only the Paranoid Survive.' We're like that," Troutman said.

Aside from the drama of the launch of the EU Referendum campaigns, the last few weeks have also seen two key European pensions developments. On 25 January 2016, the European Parliament voted on amendments to the revised IORP (Institutions for Occupational Retirement Provision) Directive, whilst the following day EIOPA (the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority) published the results of its first stress tests into pensions. This briefing note looks at where these developments leave European pensions policy.
Read full briefing note here
The Chancellor's Budget announcement of greater flexibility over retirement benefits has led to a major reinterpretation of what the word 'pension' means in a defined contribution context. Meanwhile, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has been working on its own redefinition of pensions in a wider context, in the shape of the Pension Schemes Bill, which was laid before Parliament on 26 June 2014.

Contemporary French Silver Bullion typically have a 90% silver content. Currently the Paris Mint or "Monnaie De Paris" has over forty silver coins available from 2012 through 2009. There are two coin being 50% silver and eleven that are 95% silver. The Paris Mint has divided their silver bullion into seven different design categories: Money and Currency, Europe, History, Geography, Art and Culture, Sports, and Youth.
Probably the best known iconic figures of French currency is the "SOWER" or "LA SEMEUSE" and this was redesigned in 2004 for the Euro and the Paris mint has been using it ever since. The original Sower was designed by Oscar Roty in 1897 for the 1898 one franc silver coin. The One Franc silver coin is 23 millimeters in diameter weighing 5 grams and composed of an 83.5% silver with 16.5% copper alloy containing a total of 0.1342 oz of silver. These were produced from 1898-1920. This art nouveau design inspired the design for the United States Walking Liberty Half Dollar. The first use of the Sower for the Euro was on the 1.5 Euro dollar today the Sower is on the ten Euro dollar. These current silver "Sowers" are 47 millimeters in diameter and weigh 22.20 grams of 90% silver. These are available in Proof state.

Another silver coin in the Money and Currency category is a redesign of "HERCULES". This silver coin is from the "Money and Currency" collection. The Hercules design first appeared on the Five Francs in 1848 and 1849 and then again from 1871 through 1940. These were designed by Augustine Dupre they are 37 millimeters in diameter and weigh 25 grams of a 90% silver alloy consisting of 22.5 grams (0.7234 oz) of silver. Then in 1965 through 1973 the French used the Hercules on the Ten Francs and despite of silver's rising prices this coin is the same weight and measure of it predecessors. Hercules also graced the Fifty Francs silver coin in 1974 through 1980. These are 41 millimeters in diameter, weigh 30 grams and again 90% silver containing 27 grams of silver. Only the 2012 ten euro Hercules is available from the Paris mint now. It was designed by Joaquim Jimenez and is 29 millimeters in diameter weighing 10 grams of a 50% silver alloy and is also available in Proof condition.
There are a number of oversized coins and these are minted using the 95% silver alloy. The largest of these is in the Youth series; "XIII" which depicts a popular comic XIII which is based in the USA and the main character who is amnesiac. This silver coin is 75 millimeters in diameter and weighs 327.60 grams. Five hundred of these one hundred euro dollar coins were minted in 2011. There are also six other 95% silver coins at the 50 euro denomination which are 5 ounces (or 163.80 grams) which are 50 millimeters in diameter. One of these is in the Europe series, the 2010 "Centre Georges Pomidow". This coin ties in with the "Europa Star" series in which each European country issues a coin commemorating major European architectural work. In 1977 the former French President's vision of having a public museum in the heart of Paris for the display of full range of modern and contemporary arts was realized.
The Art and Culture series not only has coins commemorating various literary characters, there are also five euro silver coins depicting the Chinese zodiac animals. These are 47 millimeters in diameter and weigh 22.20 grams of the 90% silver alloy. Bars have also been introduced commemorating some of the most influential modern artist; Claude Monet, Vassily Kandinsky, Georges Braque, Auguste Renoir, and Pablo Picasso, to name those that are still available from the Paris Mint. These each include an etching of one of the artist's renowned work on the obverse and the reverse has a head of the artist with a reproduction of their signature and the years of their life. These are 15 grams of the 90% silver alloy.

Configuring filesystems with mkfs, df, du, and fsck
Although most Linux distributions today have simple-to-use graphical interfaces for setting up and managing filesystems, knowing how to perform those tasks from the command line is a valuable skill. We'll show you how to configure and manage filesystems with mkfs, df, du, and fsck.
Linux supports a wide array of filesystem types, including many that originated on other operating systems. The most common choices for hard disks, however, remain the native Linux ext2 and ext3 (the successor to ext2), followed by the high-performance XFS and ReiserFS filesystems. For compatibility, it is also important to know how to work with the VFAT filesystem, because it is the standard choice found pre-installed on many media, including USB thumb drives and flash disks.

Chocolate "Power" Breakfast Pops Recipe
The chocolate is really only a diversion — the inside is where the power resides. Raisins, hempseeds, nuts, and whole grains provide a rich combination of fiber, healthy oils, and protein with a great blend of flavors.
Makes 48 pops
You Will Need
1 cup raisins (or dried apricots, dates, or figs)
1/2 cup raw shelled hempseeds (available at health food and specialty stores)
1 1/2 cups low-fat nutty granola (no added oils)
3 cups crispy organic brown rice cereal
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3 tablespoons skim milk
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup chopped almonds
What to Do
1. Place dried fruit, hempseeds, granola, and 2 cups of the rice cereal in a food processor.
Grind until all is broken down into tiny pieces.
2. Place honey and peanut butter in a small pan and heat for 3-5 minutes. Take off the stove and
stir until smooth. Add honey/peanut butter to the raisin-cereal mixture and grind again until a
sticky dough forms.
3. Transfer the "dough" into a larger bowl and stir in the remaining cup of crispy brown rice
cereal, digging in with your (clean!) hands, until well mixed. Scoop out small amounts (about 1
tablespoon) of the paste with a melon ball scooper or just with your fingers, roll it in the palm
of your hand into little balls, and place on a baking sheet or large platter.
4. Meanwhile, heat milk in a pan until it boils. Take off flame. Break up bittersweet chocolate
into pieces and stir into hot milk until smooth. Let cool for a few minutes.
5. Mix oats and chopped almonds in a bowl and sprinkle over an 8 x 12-inch pan lined with wax
paper. Dip and roll each ball in the melted chocolate so it is evenly coated and place on top of
the oats/almond mixture. Repeat until all the balls are done.
6. Stick a wood craft stick in each ball and place the pan in the freezer for at least 15 minutes
so the chocolate can harden. Wrap the pops individually in cellophane, or store together in a
large plastic bag and freeze.

The Secret Knots Horoscopes: Sagittarius
Horoscopes are back.
More news for Sagittarius and every other sign: A new season of stories in The Secret Knots is almost here. March 3 is the date.
Horoscopes are back.
More news for Sagittarius and every other sign: A new season of stories in The Secret Knots is almost here. March 3 is the date.
It's the end of summer and soon we'll leave our games and rituals behind, a child's treasure buried in the woods.
But, who will take care of the creature in the locked room?
Unspeakable is a coming of age story inspired by Lovecraft's tales, available now in PDF for $2.90.
This PDF is a revised, expanded version of the storyline in the archives.
And it is done. There's the last installment of this long comic, a small coda for 2013. I started it as a way to give a steady form and pace to The Secret Knots but in time it displayed its own complications, a rebellious story that kept changing its course and intent along the way. I faced several things I hadn't worked on enough at this point: relying further on dialogue, a different pace, characterization. I failed in wonderful new ways in all of these aspects. There was a lot of learning over these months, so I can only be grateful. These are mistakes you can be friend with, annoying little voices that help you move forward in the end.
I hope some of you have enjoyed at some point this quirky adventure.
The Secret Knots will continue with new, short stories this year. Thanks for reading, staying around and thanks for all your feedback!
There's a last round of commissions I'll be delivering over the next weeks. If you are among those who haven't had their request fulfilled yet, I haven't forgot about you: immense thanks for your support and patience!
It's been some months since I updated with the state of the funding and commissions so I need to give you an idea of what's going on in that field. First of all, as I said somewhere before, the fund raiser was completely successful and I am enormously grateful to all of you for your monetary support, social media sharing and kind words. The goal was surpassed and the feedback and personal messages of appreciation I got were truly encouraging. Many thanks for everything.
Now, working on the commissions has been a lot slower than I'd want to. I've got a list which is more or less half done at this point, two or three months later. I intend to deliver the rest of the commissions on the next weeks, so thanks again for your patience. The list includes, besides personal portraits and fiction characters, working with poems and text, some of them original creations, so it has been a fun and diverse experience so far.
For those of you who donated and didn't ask for a commission, please let me know if you haven't received a couple of gifts I sent through the email. Let me know at my gmail, gemeloperverso.
That's it for now. Thanks for being part of The Secret Knots.

Excellent tour with GiGi! Hit all of Nashville's high spots. Well worth the money.
Great way to see the City and learn the history. The extra walking tours were a bonus.
Great tour of what else is in Nashville other than Honky Tonk Row, which was great too. Driver was very knowledgeable and had some great tips for travelers. Would do again.
Good tour informative and helpful driver even though he was fairly new,Brad I think.
Would certainly recommend this tour as an intro to Nashville and v good value for money
Very personable Tour Guide, great time!!
Guides were very nice and helpful!
We really enjoyed our Nashville Trolley Tour! It was a great way to see something of the city when we only had a brief window of time. I would do it again with the option of getting off and on if we have more time to explore.
we really enjoyed the historical notes given during our trolley excursion through Nashville. Loved the notes on the development of the city. Would do it again.
Tour guide was excellent, very informative.
Pay for one day and get the second day free- that was a bargain. The drivers are lovely and each if them had a different story to tell about the city. We got on and off at different stops. I recommend the getting off at any of the downtown stops as all the major attractions are there. Also stop 10 for Antique Archaeology and all the gift type shops in the old motor works, while you're ther you could check out the Marathon Motor Works to see who's playing. Stop 15 The Gulch has plenty of places to eat and we enjoyed looking in the shop Two Old Hippies most things were quite expensive but still found a lot of lovely things to drool over. We ate at Burger Republic, their spiked shakes are delicious. Highly recommend this tour to get your bearings of this city.
Great overview of all the attractions available to explore
All of our drivers, and the lady at the home base, were very nice and personable. The drivers pointed out way more than our scheduled stops, and gave us hints on other places we might like to go. They gave us little history of Nashville stories that were very interesting. We have been telling all our friends what a great buy the stop and go trolley tour was!!!!
Evgenia L USA
Lovely way to get to know the city and its major attractions. The drivers are friendly and knowledgeable, easy to spot the stops and I was always able to get a sit.
We did the on and off tour and it worked out really well. Got to see the most important things we had hoped to see, but not enough time to get all the stops in in two days. While on the trolley the drivers were very good at telling us some of the history of Nashville and pointing out important sites.
Best tour in Nashville. They show you all the best sites in Nashville. They are very funny, friendly and very informative about the city.
The driver Roy was great and informative
Cipring USA
The tour guide is great!
Great tour. All 1st time visiotrs need to take this tour to get the history and flavor of the city. The tour of the park was very informative and without it I would not have appreciated the park so much. The history given of the recording and publishing industry and the studios was very interesting also,
Tour guide was great!
Very informative . We were here visiting family and the family that lives here learned a few things ! Driver very nice , good personality , good time !
So much mire than I expected! Great tour
We had a wonderful tour. Our guide was very entertaining and had a lot of knowledge about what we were seeing. We would do it again!
Always a great way to catch the high spots of a city and this was no exception. We had a great driver who gave a real entertaining insight to this lovely city. We were a family of four which included children age 14 and 5
The length of the tour was long enough and covered the places you read and hear about.
It also gives you a chance to get your bearings so you don't waste valuable holiday time walking round in circles!
A must for any tourist.
Good to do immediately upon arrival. Hard to locate ticket booth and pick up location. Not well marked! Parking was additional $15 for 90 minutes! Trolley driver very good and informative.
What a great way to see and learn about the sights in and around Nashville. Our driver/guide was very informative. He allowed us to get out and take pictures of many places too. I highly recommend this tour of Nashville!

Mai Kea Ki Vei? Stories of Methodism in Fiji and Rotuma, 1835-1995
Whiteman, Darrell, International Bulletin of Missionary Research
Mai Kea Ki Vei?Stories of Methodism in Fiji and Rotuma, 1835-1995. Edited by Andrew Thornley and Tauga Vulaono. Suva, Fiji: Fiji Methodist Church, 1996. Pp. xi, 329. No price given.
This book commemorating 160 years of Methodism in Fiji is the outgrowth of a conference held in Fiji in October 1995, in which over eighty people gathered to reflect oral tradition and personal stories of the Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma. The bulk of the book contains twelve of the conference papers written by Fijian scholars as well as by some well-known Pacific mission historians such as Charles Forman and John Garrett. These more academically oriented papers cover such topics as Methodism in the Pacific and Fiji context (Forman), Fijians in the Methodist ministry (Thornley), women in Fijian Methodism (Sovaki), Fijian missionaries in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands (lakes), leadership patterns in the Methodist Church (Niukula), the Indian Christian Church in Fiji (Mastapha), and biographical vignettes of John Hunt (Kanailagi), Josua Mateninaniu (Baleiwaqa), and Ratu Varani (Cabenalevu).
The book is written in both English and Fijian. A Fijian summary follows each of the conference papers written in English. The oral-tradition stories are in Fijian. In many ways this is a good model for non-Western churches reflecting on their history.
This book helps us understand the Methodist Church in Fiji in at least the following three ways. …

When Microsoft launched Windows 8 last week, it was the culmination of a long wait. For most folks, it was a rather jarring thrust into the future. For better or worse, the operating system that introduces the touch-oriented Metro UI to the Windows environment had arrived.
No one is more excited about the launch than Microsoft. The company has launched pop-up holiday stores at malls across America to promote the new OS and the Surface RT. I had a chance to check in with one at Aventura Mall in Miami, Florida.

Microsoft at War: Keeping Score of Redmond's Success and Fail Stories
Microsoft sits on the edge of a product launch that is plainly among the most important in the company's history. It comes at a time when the company's traditional hardware partners are facing ferocious market pressure from the commoditization of their products, and of course, the juggernaut known as the iPad.
As can be expected, the company's many cheerleaders and haters are out in full force. Pundits can and will pontificate on Windows 8's chances. However, what might be more useful is looking at Microsoft's other make or break moments. The upcoming launch is far from the first time that Redmond has fought with its back against a wall. A backward glance at these moments, and careful evaluation of them, may provide a better, ahem, window into the company's chances this Winter.

Leicester booked their play-off semi-final spot with a 32-20 win at home to London Irish and they will meet Harlequins at Welford Road on Saturday. Harlequins have a fine record there, having won on their last two visits, including by a 22-9 score in September.
"We had quite a few guys missing that day (the defeat to Harlequins) but this is a one-off game," Cockerill, Leicester's director of rugby, said.
"They are a good side but we are a pretty good side too. We are not going to be complacent. If it had been Northampton we might have been after our recent success against them.
"But we have struggled to beat Harlequins, they are a good team and dangerous across the board. We have got to be dead, dead right next week otherwise it's over for us. It will be a tasty and interesting contest."
Cockerill expects all his main players to be fit, including centre Anthony Allen (neck) and England and British and Irish Lions flanker Tom Croft (shoulder), who both went off injured during the win over London Irish.
Leicester scored five tries through Croft, Ben Youngs, Mathew Tait, Vereniki Goneva and Toby Flood, while Irish replied with three from Alex Corbisiero, Topsy Ojo and Marland Yarde.
Cockerill criticised the visitors, saying: "They came to cheat and chuck the ball around."
Irish director of rugby Brian Smith said he was proud of his players who had rattled the Tigers.
"Leicester showed what a class act they are, six Lions in a team chock full of internationals. We did not want to go through the motions and we made them work hard. They deserved their win and a home semi-final, but we asked the boys to rattle some cages and they did that. I am proud of the troops."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A person familiar with the move says Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox and linebackers coach Peter Sirmon have accepted jobs on Washington coach Steve Sarkisian's staff.
ESPN, citing anonymous sources, first reported the moves, which come two days after Sarkisian fired defensive coordinator Nick Holt, linebackers coach Mike Cox and safeties coach Jeff Mills. On Thursday, Washington gave up 777 total yards and 67 points against Baylor in the Alamo Bowl.
A person familiar with situation told The Associated Press that Wlcox and Sirmon are leaving on condition of anonymity because the moves have not been announced by either school.
Wilcox is expected to serve as the Huskies' defensive coordinator. He has spent the past two seasons as Tennessee's defensive coordinator, while Sirmon joined the staff for the 2011 season.

If your church is the friendliest place in town, you're the exception. In our exclusive research, we asked more than 750 churched and non-churched people in the U.S. to name the friendliest place in town. Home was overwhelmingly the #1 place (that's good to hear!). Church was an anemic second; only 17 percent of people surveyed said they consider church to be the friendliest place in town.
Church growth experts say this has to change-especially in the face of declining attendance in churches across America. "The church has to find ways to reach our youngest generations, to help faith become relevant to them, and to meet them where they are (which likely means unconventional ways of doing church), and to bring them into a meaningful relationship with Christ," says Gia Garey, Group Life Ministry Connections Director at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas.
What can you do? We asked children's ministers at churches with a friendly reputation to share how they've become exceptional in the top-5 qualities of a friendly church. There's no time to waste.
1. Belonging
Here's what friendly churches do to help children feel like they belong.
Someone Like Me-A sense of belonging starts in the parking lot at 12Stone Church in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Children's pastor Eric Echols says, "Once parents pull onto our property, they're directed to park in our designated 'children's ministry parking lot.' When they get out of their vehicle, they're surrounded by other families with kids in tow, which lets them know they're not alone. Immediately they realize they can identify with the majority of families at 12Stone Church, and this creates a sense of belonging."
The Buddy System-Every week, the children's ministry at NewLife Community Church in Fredericktown, Ohio, attracts two or three new kids. "Getting kids to feel like they belong at our church from their very first moment isn't an easy task," says Janet Anthony, NewLife's children's director. "If they know anyone else in the class, we pair them up to sit together; if not, we introduce them to a couple of kids who'll help them get acclimated."
Intentional Connections-Elementary small groups at 12Stone begin each week with a "What's Up?" segment. Echols explains, "Because we teach the Bible story during our large group time, the main role of our small group leaders is to build community and create connections with the kids. Kids are allowed to talk about what they're learning and how they're developing a relationship with God."
Consistent Leaders-When children come to your ministry and see the same teachers or leaders every time, they have a stronger sense of belonging than if those people change from week to week. A friendly face can be very reassuring. "We've found that consistency is fundamental to making kids feel like they belong," says Echols. "A bond is formed between the kids and the leader which opens up the door for us to pour into the lives of our kids."
Friendship Ties-Kids need connections to other kids to feel that they belong. If Anthony finds a child who doesn't have any particularly strong friendships in her ministry, she creates a recreational event-a sleepover, trip to a sports event, or camping trip-for the child's age level and interests to create ties of friendship.
"Take David (name changed) for example," Anthony remembers. "At age 10, David was new to our church and hated coming down to kids' worship…So I planned a trip for 4th through 6th graders to a local arcade with mini golf and go-karts. David loved it and came away knowing a couple of boys from the trip much better. No longer did he have to be coaxed to go to kids' worship."
2. Comfort Zone
How can we make our children's ministries a place where children feel comfortable? Check out these comfy ideas.
Speaking Their Language-One of the best ways to help kids feel comfortable is to be able to talk about what interests them. More important than knowing what's hot and what's not in today's culture, get to know what each child in your ministry is into-is it Transformers or the Facebook Farmville game? What's important to children is that you know about them.
Just-My-Size Environments-Ban the sterile adults-only rooms in the children's area of your church. When children enter a room, the first thing they do is look to see if there's something there for them. If not, their sense of comfort goes out the window. "Kids will feel comfortable, safe, and secure in an environment that's child-friendly," says Carmen Kamrath, associate editor of this magazine and 20-year children's ministry veteran. "Furniture that's their size, toys, and colors all can provide a welcoming environment for them. When children enter a room that's obviously meant just for them with welcoming and child-friendly colors, sizes, and decorations, they're much more likely to quickly feel at ease and comfortable."

Carnival Booth Idea – Colored Hairspray
Carnival Booth Supplies –Colored Hairspray :
Warning: This booth must be done OUTSIDE due to the fumes from the Colored Hairspray!
Dozens of cans of Colored Hairspray (can find at discount stores approaching Halloween
look in the Halloween department)
Plastic Haircutting Capes (ask local hair salons if they have some old ones they could donate)
Disposable Gloves for Volunteers to protect their hands from becoming multi colored
2 or more Stools for kids to sit while having their do - done
Old, Clean Towels to protect the eyes of the kids from overspray of the colors
Optional: Mirrors for kids to see their new look
Optional: Handles to make pressing the top buttons of the colored hairspray easier (can be found at local building supply stores – much appreciated by volunteers and can be saved for next year) -
How to Run the Colored Hairspray Carnival Booth:
Not just for girls - set up your Colored Hairspray booth and be ready for the stampede! This carnival booth is always popular with kids and teens alike! Some suggestions – have space for the lines of kids who will wait for their new hair-do.
Be sure to have at least 2 stations – maybe 3 if you have a large school or church. (large = about 600+ kids) Also, this is tiring for the volunteers – limit each shift to 1 hour at the most! It is easy to run out of colored hairspray, so buy early and buy extras if your school or church could store them for next year!

Wojnowski: Underdog Penguins Pressured Wings for Stanley Cup Win
Wojnowski, Bob, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Detroit -- They skated as if lugging the pressure, as if feeling the strain. All night long, the Red Wings kept digging for something that wasn't there, not enough at least, digging right down to the frantic finish. There was one final desperate shot by Nicklas Lidstrom, one final diving save by Marc-Andre Fleury as the clock expired, and then it was over, and the unbelievable, bitter truth was revealed.
And at the end of a long, long run, the Wings ran into an opponent that had more.
More energy, more spunk, more goal-scorers. The Penguins defied the odds and pulled a shocker that will resonate around here during a hot, somber summer. The Penguins are Stanley Cup champs, stunning the defending champs 2-1 Friday night in Game 7 and staggering the Joe Louis Arena crowd into utter silence.
The Wings had the experience, the home ice and the remarkable history, but on the biggest night, they didn't get it done. Attempting to become the NHL's first repeat champions in 11 years, they rediscovered what they already suspected -- it's incredibly hard to repeat, and even harder to hold off a hungry young upstart, led by superstars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
This will haunt the Wings because they had a 2-0 series lead, had several chances to keep the Penguins down, and ended up losing four of the last five games. And in the interest of fairness, this must be said: Ultimately, Marian Hossa chose wrong, picking the Wings over the Penguins last summer, a move that surely inspired the scorned team.
And yes, Hossa was scoreless in the Finals.
"Sometimes you have a tough pill to swallow," Hossa said in the quiet Wings dressing room. "Whether you like it or not, there's lots of pressure. It squeezes you. It's tough, and I tried to battle."
If that wasn't painful enough for Detroit fans, there on the Hockeytown ice was a scene they couldn't bear to watch -- the 21- year-old Crosby lifting the Stanley Cup. He'd limped off with a knee injury in the second period and came back briefly, the price that must be paid to win the Cup.
The Wings know the price, having beaten the Penguins last spring, having won four Cups since 1997. They were the last team to repeat, back in 1998, but this was a far more arduous task, as Pavel Datsyuk, Nicklas Lidstrom and other key players battled injuries.
No excuses, of course, but the toll showed.
"I thought we looked out of gas pretty much all series," coach Mike Babcock said. "I thought we competed and I thought we tried. Everyone has injuries. But the guys that were injured on our team never got their game back to the level it could be."
They never reached that level Friday night, that's for sure. They were sloppy, and a turnover by Brad Stuart led to the first of two goals by Maxime Talbot. Jonathan Ericsson stirred hope by scoring with 6:07 left, and then it was a frenzied rush to the finish. Niklas Kronwall clanked a shot off the crossbar with two minutes left as the crowd gasped, but the Wings couldn't get the equalizer.
Malkin was named the playoff MVP, richly earned. The Penguins just wouldn't go away, their young legs always churning, and the Wings seemed to be in a race with time. Would their experience hold up longer than they own weary legs?
By a narrow margin, it didn't. …

Our Beauty Team Member, Ashley, put aside her old beauty routine and got a fresh start with the Olay® fresh effects line. Here's what she had to say:
"I was so excited to try out the Olay Fresh Effects line and was definitely not disappointed! I loved every single product, including their packaging. The BEAD ME UP exfoliating scrub was a great cleanse. I used the VA-VA- VIVID cleansing system and it left my face feeling clean and smooth. The no-shine cleanser that accompanied it felt like velvet on my hands and face and has a great scent. I finished up with the LONG LIVE MOISTURE moisturizer and BB CREAM which provided great moisturization and light coverage without leaving my skin feeling sticky – and they smelled great, too!"
