Denkai Animal Sanctuary impacts the community as a whole through our animal rescue services and outreach. We provide life-saving options to a wide variety of abused, abandoned, or neglected animals that have nowhere else to turn. Our outreach in the community, through adoption events and humane education, aims to increase awareness of our relationship with and responsibility to the animals that share our world. Volunteers at the sanctuary get valuable hands-on experience in the growing field of animal welfare along with sustainable living practices. Not only do they make a difference in the lives of the animals they help, but they are also making a positive contribution to their community by donating
The sanctuary began with 25 animals on 15 acres with minimal facilities and a few volunteers. There were no large benefactors that started this organization, it has grown over the last three years through very hard work and hands on daily chores, sometimes lasting late into the evening. Thanks to a very dedicated group of volunteers who stayed with us through a very rough beginning, our sanctuary is now situated on 640 acres and includes a small barn in need of repair, a quonset building for machinery, a small garage, 600 square foot house, and pasture, and we are caring for more than 150 animals on a daily basis. Denkai has in the past actively operated using sustainable energies. Denkai has doubled its income in the past year, largely through our website. Individuals who have heard about our organization can log onto our website to learn more about our efforts, and can easily make monetary donations through Network for Good. Approximately 90% of our donors have never physically visited the sanctuary, and have learned about us by visiting our website, via media exposure or through public outreach activities. The newest acquisition is the adoption center located near Greeley, CO which enables the large populations of surrounding areas to have ready access to approximately 70 adoptable animals. Since 2005, Denkai has provided rescue, rehabilitation and permanent sanctuary to over 1000 animals. The Sanctuary has offered educational programs to area schools such as the Fort Collins Lab School and Meeker Elementary School. Denkai has responded and provided relief to national emergency situations such as the CA wildfires and hurricane Katrina. Denkai responded to a horse slaughter plant in Dekalb, IL and rescued horses right off the kill line as the plant was closed due to newly implemented restrictions banning the slaughter of horses in the US.
Target demographics:
Active adults between 18 and 70 years young nation-wide. Youth Groups ages 6 -18 in the Rocky Mountain Region.
Direct beneficiaries per year:
Denkai Animal Sanctuary is unique in that it aims to provide a combination of services for animals in need, at‐risk youth, and environmental awareness. This will be accomplished through hands on educational opportunities.
Geographic areas served:
Denkai has helped several regions of the US including CA and the victims of hurricanes in the coastal regions of the south.
I. Current services offered through the Sanctuary include: A. Adopt common "companion animals", namely dogs and cats, to suitable homes, as well as adoption of other animals including horses, pot-bellied pigs, and other adoptable livestock. We define "adoptable" as: "Dogs and cats that are eight weeks of age or older and livestock that are one year of age or older that at or subsequent to the time the animal is impounded or otherwise taken into possession, have manifested no sign of a behavioral or temperamental defect that could pose a health or safety risk or otherwise make the animal unsuitable for placement as a pet. The animals are adoptable if they have no signs of disease, injury, or congenital or hereditary condition that adversely affects the health of the animal or that is likely to adversely affect the animal's health in the future. Healthy/adoptable animals may be old, deaf, blind, disfigured or disabled. B. Provide a permanent sanctuary for animals that are deemed as non-adoptable. Non-adoptable animals are defined as any animal that does not fit into the definition above. C. Provide education and outreach on proper animal care to current and potential animal owners. D. Assist law enforcement in investigating and prosecuting cases of animal neglect and/or other abuse. E. Provide volunteer opportunities for the young and old in the local and national community. We are especially focused on reaching at-risk youth and serving as an approved site for court-ordered community service hour projects.

Reviews for Denkai Animal Sanctuary
I volunteered and fostered with Denkai for close to a year. I wanted to help the dogs. As time went on more and more money was given but it was never enough, your help was never good enough. The founder was never around and now they closed there doors after how many years! Staff that had been dedicated to them given no explanation. I will never donate or volunteer for this organization. You cannot even find current financial info for them which is very shady. They need more money but where is it going? They want to live debt free so that the founder, her boyfriend who was the VP of operations and they're baby on the way can live without working for it!

I volunteered with this group on numerous occasions. The staff was not only discourteous, they were downright mean to the animals. And when they adopted out animals, they did virtually NO background checks on adopters. The head of this group claims that she doesn't take a salary but their financials show that there was in excess of $100,000 after expenses. What happened to that money? I know that the head of the group took vacations and was rarely there in person when there was an adoption or transportation event, although she claims she worked many hours a week. I also donated to them on several occasions and never got a thank you or a receipt. I think this is a very shady group and would never donate anything else to them. There are just too many other wonderful rescue groups.

I had a horrible experience with Denkai. Jenna is extremly rude, she gives you the run around about adopting a puppy. She has no business dealing with the public, she should be on pen duty. They are always begging for donations, but yet treat you horrible when you go to adopt a dog. I will never deal with them again.

Today I went into denkai hoping to look at puppies to find our next family dog. As soon as I walked into their facility I felt judged. (I have piercings and tattoos and was scrubbed out) They were extremely rude and treated me as if I had no clue what I was talking about! I gave them specific needs in what I was looking for and they laughed and handed me a pre adoption form and shooed my daughter and I away. Didnt let me see ANY dogs. They wanted me out of there ASAP. The puppies I seen online were extremely cute and my daughter fell inlove with one of them. Yet due to the extreme rude and judgemental manner we will not be adopting from them.... EVER!

I've volunteered at Denkai for about 5 years - fostering dogs, helping with fundraisers, helping at clinic and adoption center - and while things don't always go perfectly their heart is in the right place and everyone tries very hard. A few bad reviews mentioned dog transports not coming in on time and having to wait for dogs to show up - unfortunately this is commonplace with transports. They are traveling long distances with a bunch of rescue dogs and timeframes can change based on traffic and the needs of the dogs. Dogs that are suppose to come in may get pulled at the last minute for health issues or last minute adoptions and Denkai does not know until transport arrives. Yes, money is always tight and staff is always too few people working too many hours and chaos reins when a transport comes in with 20, 30 or more dogs but, please remember these dogs are getting a second chance at life and a forever home because of Denkai.

I have volunteered with DenKai since May 2010. They have changed locations and staff numerous times during the past 4 years, and things haven't always run perfect. But that said, this organization saves hundreds of animals every MONTH and offers low-cost spay and neuter services for families who otherwise might end up with unwanted puppies, due to their inability to afford a vet bill.
They also offer low-cost vaccinations and general veterinary care.
I have fostered about 50 of their rescued dogs and it is a rewarding experience each and every time. Giving these pups a chance to live in a home and receive socialization and training provides the eventual adopters of these animals with such a gift!
Consider volunteering your time or opening your home to a foster pup! You won't regret it!!!

Alright, extremely disappointed. My puppy who was adopted through denkai, recently went in for her spay. When she was released she did not receive a cone and received minimal pain medication. Three says later she ended up popping a stitch open. Because it was late at night we had to take her to a twenty four hour clinic. The veterinarian who took care of her was not impressed by the stitch job and was disappointed by the fact that shedid not receive a cone or more medication. She patched her back up so we could take her back to denkai at eight am so that they could fix her back up. Well we got there at eight fifteen and there was no body there. Door locked, no answer on the phone, and nobody in the parking lot. Their website claims that they are open at eight am but this does not appear to be the case. Needless to say that as I am on my way to a trusted clinic in longmont, I have no trust out respect for this organization.

2 weeks ago I responded to an add about a dog that needed a home. This pup was in a shelter in Texas and was supposed to be in Eaton in 2 days. It was one thing after another when I called to find out if she ( the pup) had arrived. I was finally told the pup would be there last night at appx midnight and I could come when they opened this morning. I was there at 8:00 still floss had not arrived with the van of dogs she had picked up in Texas. Was told it would be 2 hrs. Came back in 2 hours and myself and 2 other people who were waiting for their adoptions to arrive, were told it would be another 2 hours. They had spend the night in Colo springs and from 8 till 1 is 5 hours and no way does it take that long to drive from Colo springs to Eaton. Floss knew people were waiting. Low and behold finally she arrived, but to my dismay they brought me the wrong dog! I am devasted, I looked at the picture of the pup I was supposed to get countless times in the let 2 weeks. How could they have made such a mistake?

I have been a big fan of Denkai for about 3 years now, since they helped me in being able to rescue 2 horses from auction where they would have been sent to slaughter. The founder is just awesome in her devotion and management and her vision. Every effort is made to help animals with special needs to become a likely adoption candidate. The compassion displayed by the Denkai staff is amazing.

Spray Painting Best Practices
Spray painting is a fun, fast and easy way to complete your indoor and outdoor projects. Before adding your first coat of Krylon® spray paint to your project, make sure you have adapted your surroundings, prepared your project surface and ascertained that adequate ventilation exists.
Take a moment prior to spraying and review these 10 simple spray paint techniques and tips to ensure your spray painting project is a success:
Start with a clean, dry surface.
Ordinary household detergents or mineral spirits usually do the job. Be sure to sand or scrape glossy or hard surfaces to improve adhesion and use a primer whenever possible. Remove rust with a wire brush.
Use in good weather.
Ideally, temperatures should be between 50°F and 90°F, and relative humidity is below 85%. Avoid painting in direct sunlight and hot, humid weather.
Be aware of spray paint recoat times.
Spray paint recoat time is stated in the directions on the can.
Test your spray paint and painting technique.
Ensure a smooth, even spray paint application by testing your paint and painting technique on a scrap surface or inconspicuous area before beginning your project.
Motion matters.
Always begin and finish spraying off the object, using an even side-to-side motion with each pass overlapping your spray pattern by about one-third.
Take your time.
Use thin, multiple coats instead of one thick coat.
Avoid overspray.
Mask exposed areas with tape or use a drop cloth to avoid spray paint overspray.
When spray painting indoors, always ventilate your room well by opening windows and doors. A fan may also help to keep air circulating.
Clean spray paint valve after use.
Turn can upside down and spray for 5 seconds. Cleaning your spray paint valve helps prevent the spray tip from clogging.
Read directions thoroughly.
Before beginning your project, be sure to read the directions on the can.

Samsung Galaxy K zoom ReviewSamsung Galaxy K zoom 8
Last year, Samsung created another new market niche, outing the first handset equipped with a 10x optical zoom – the aptly named Galaxy S4 Zoom. It has a 16 MP sensor, protruding lens, and a bulky body, making it more of a camera with phone functions you'd take on vacation, rather than something suitable for the everyday grind.
This year Samsung doubled down on the new market niche it created, by introducing the Galaxy K zoom, whose naming scheme breaks away from riding on the flagship's coattails this time. The second edition is better equipped in the specs department, both on the phone, and on the camera side: it now sports a 20 MP sensor, larger screen and better processor. Does the K zoom stand a better chance of becoming something else than a niche device for camera enthusiasts? Let's find out...
In the box
- In-ear stereo headphones
- Wall charger
- MicroUSB cable
- Warranty and information leaflets
The 10x optical zoom lens makes for a bulky and hefty phone, but it is still more comfortable to use and carry than a 6" phablet.
At 5.41 x 2.79 x 0.65 " (137.5 x 70.8 x 16.6 mm), against the 4.94 x 2.50 x 0.61" (125.5 x 63.5 x 15.4 mm) of the Galaxy S4 Zoom, the K zoom is one taller, wider and slightly thicker handset, making it less suitable to operate with one hand than its predecessor. The huge lens area on the back sticks out a bit more, and gets in the way while operating the phone, but one can quickly get used to that. Due to the protruding lens part, the phone also looks funky when placed on a table, with the upper part propped by the camera, and the phone rocking left or right when you tap on the screen.
At 7.05 oz (200 g) of weight, you'll always notice that the K zoom is in your pocket or your hand, but still the heft and dimensions are manageable, considering that you carry a 10x optical zoom device with you at all times. The thing weighs as much as some of those 6-inchers that are flooding the market, so if you are willing to put up with that lack of comfort, you won't have trouble gobbling up the K zoom, too.
Samsung has opted for the perforated look that first appeared with the Galaxy S5, and uses the same soft-touch material for the back. The phone hence feels solid in the hand, providing a good grip, and the weight distribution doesn't lean on the lens part, so you don't need to carefully balance it when operating the screen with one hand. The dimpled battery cover is easily removable, revealing a replaceable unit underneath it. This might come in handy for those photogs that the K zoom is aimed at, since they can carry a spare juicer or two with them at all times, when shooting in the boondocks.
Samsung has outfitted the K zoom with its signature physical home key below the display, which flaunts a good tactile feedback, and the same goes for the volume rocker, lock key, and camera shutter on the right hand side. The left is occupied solely by the microSD slot, which lets you extend the internal storage with up to 64 GB cards.

Typically incorrect colors and disturbingly low peak brightness.
Samsung opted for a larger display diagonal, compared to the 4.3" S4 Zoom. The K zoom sports a 4.8" 720x1280 pixels Super AMOLED display with good 306ppi pixel density. That's fine for most scenarios, including reading smaller text.
Typical for an AMOLED panel, the colors are very inaccurate – not only oversaturated, but also tone-incorrect. The color temperature is also way on the cold side at 8326 Kelvins, so what should be a white background, for instance, is actually light-blue. Thus, you can't trust the K zoom's display accuracy if you go shoe-shopping online, or want to preview your photos on the phone itself.
Moreover, at 294 nits, the panel's peak brightness is pretty low, even compared to the current Super AMOLEDs from Samsung, like the ones on the S5 or the Note 3. Outdoors the screen doesn't reflect much light, so you can tell what's on the display, though if the sun shines directly on it, you'll be in trouble. Viewing angles are pretty good, as the screen keeps its deep blacks from an angle, but the color inaccuracies deepens even further with the slightest tilt. About the only good thing that can be said about the quality of the K zoom's display is its low minimum brightness of 4 nits, so it won't burn your eyebrows if you have to read something on it in the dark.

The CIE 1931 xy color gamut chart represents the set (area) of colors that a display can reproduce, with the sRGB colorspace (the highlighted triangle) serving as reference. The chart also provides a visual representation of a display's color accuracy. The small squares across the boundaries of the triangle are the reference points for the various colors, while the small dots are the actual measurements. Ideally, each dot should be positioned on top of its respective square. The 'x: CIE31' and 'y: CIE31' values in the table below the chart indicate the position of each measurement on the chart. 'Y' shows the luminance (in nits) of each measured color, while 'Target Y' is the desired luminance level for that color. Finally, 'ΔE 2000' is the Delta E value of the measured color. Delta E values of below 2 are ideal.
This measurements are made using SpectraCal's CalMAN calibration software.
The Color accuracy chart gives an idea of how close a display's measured colors are to their referential values. The first line holds the measured (actual) colors, while the second line holds the reference (target) colors. The closer the actual colors are to the target ones, the better.
This measurements are made using SpectraCal's CalMAN calibration software.
The Grayscale accuracy chart shows whether a display has a correct white balance (balance between red, green and blue) across different levels of grey (from dark to bright). The closer the Actual colors are to the Target ones, the better.

I think it's fair, just as similarly as with the Nokia 1020, I find this 'innovation' to be awkward and does 'worst in both worlds', in both smartphone world and camera world I don't find this to be good at all. I'd go with a flagship+RX100 instead, that's best of 2 worlds.

no way , no camera will be ever similar to 808 or lumia 1020 . Keep dreaming samasugi fanboy

The best Nokia camera phone take 10 second to take a picture. As if having wp os is not problematic enough they have to go all the away out to make it the slowest possible phone to snap a picture.
This is a money grab to me and I will throw it into Microsoft's window!

With new Nokia Camera it takes 5 seconds.
15. muhsen (Posts: 281; Member since: 07 Jun 2012)
The 1020 takes 5 sec on the nokia camera, which is not far from the k , considering that the 1020 has to push double the amount of pixels.
"WP is problematic" is really becoming invalid at the time being. Most of the apps on android are on WP. Ironically, it's android here that's problematic. Many photography apps like hipsmatic oggl are not present, also there is no special apps that take advantage of the special features of the k or the s4 zoom before it, like the oggl pro or the instagram app on the 1020 where they take advantage of the oversampling tech and lossless zoom, there are alot of other examples for the 1020.
Another major factore is price, considering that the 1020 hardware wise is on par with the k (actually it's better thanks to more Ram), it costs 50 -60 % of the k, and when you consider that the 1020 has the upper hand photography wise, features and quality, it seems that pouring money on the k is really a bad and unwise deal.
Also, we can also throw the updates factor. As history tells us, when android gets upgraded a whole new digit up ( from 2.xx to 4.xx, and now from 4.xx to 5.xx), only handful of flagships device make it to the update. Even if the k makes to android L, it won't get anymore. Whereas, the 1020 will get WP8.1 and its 2 sucessive GDR updates. There's also an 80 % chance it will make it to the next big release for WP, thanks to its 2 GB ram.
All in all, whether you like it or not, the 1020 is the better deal hands by a big margin. Choosing the k over it is silly actually. The k is definitely a big improvement compared to its predecessor though.

32. iushnt (Posts: 1679; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
But 8.1 is not as good as current android..also k zoom defimately clicks better pics than 1020.. I have checked both in person. I agree with the price point that 1020 is a better deal

6. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
But it's a bad phone and a bad camera.
8. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
still much better camera than the z2..
9. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Maybe a little. But any real camera beats the shi* out of the K.
12. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Proof? And its not designed to rival DSLRs, but it can still beat cheap point&shoot cameras.
16. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Do YOU have proof for that?
I doubt this beats any of the compact digital cameras you can get starting at around 200 euros from Canon, Nikon or Sony. May compare to the cheaper ones.
18. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
My 925 takes better shots than my samsung point and shoot that we got on sale that was originally 180 down to 120. So much so that we have literally given it to 8yr olds as a toy
19. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Ok whats your problem then? Its an awesome camera and smartphone combined!
20. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
I don't remember having any problems right now :)
25. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Those that want K would read the review carefully and I thinks its a detailed review.
Based on the review the k would match any point and shoot camera with the bonus having manual control good for user know their camera parameters. Do you guy actually read the review before heading straight to comment.
Since we are talking about lumia i would like to point out their current strength which is its cheap, priced to move. There seem to be a fire sales going on everywhere. A brand-new non contract Lumia 1320 cost $250
A new lumia 1520 cost less than $500. Pretty cheap no wonder the bottom 5% bought one.
Enjoy your cheap lumia phone and hope that Microsoft will add value to your purchase. Cause no one else would. Lol!
27. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
Cheap? you rant about cheap, not the first time before...
Yet how many droids are subpar crap phones? Care to take a gander at the $50 android 2.3 brand new phone you can buy today?! CHEAP. Talk about a fire sale, these aren't even old their BRAND NEW.
And 480 is not pretty cheap for a phone that came out late in 2013.
Oh no i Can get a nexus 5 for even cheaper, must be fire sale since droid has so much bugs they cant get rid of them fast enough, ohhhhh nooooooooooo's.
And yes lets talk about the lumia. Watch the Old 1020 match this 'new' phone or even the 808. Seen the youtube video of side by side of the K vs 1020? other than optical zoom the video was not that great when going up against the 'King'.
29. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Genius, he was talking about new lumia phones losing value quickly. Not about ultra cheap from start. *sigh*
36. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
*sigh* the 1320 is not old.
the 1520 release 2 months after the note 3.
I can find both devices for 400-550 on amazon. Yes they are so cheap...
33. iushnt (Posts: 1679; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
I have checked in person! The picture quality is better than many point and nshoot cameras
35. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Which camera do you have? I mean judging by these photos in the review the photos are nothing special. S5 takes better ones. The only advantages seem to be the OIS and optical zoom.
39. gigaraga (Posts: 1454; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
That's a pretty dumb comment. Your saying that any real camera therefore beats the crap out of the Z2, M8 cause K Zoom is better than it. Tch.
11. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Explaination please.
31. ktonlai (Posts: 12; Member since: 29 Mar 2010)
Name any other android phone with xenon flash... now slap on optical zoom and decent specs.
It's not the best at anything, but the sum is greater than it's parts.

4GB of available space to install apps? What is this 2010?

PA how you feel insecure and hate about Amoled display...? Its obvious because you didn't cover the news about display mate that galaxy tab s has the bast tablet display ever and the most accurate colors....! Really what a shame for this big website...! Lol....

What?!? no video review? is this phone not worthy or something?
Also, are both black and white versions soft-touch? I ask because I just saw the S5 in store and the black version had a significantly better feel than the white one.

I just got my black Galaxy K zoom today in the mail from Hong Kong. My first impressions are that it's impressively light weight for having a 10x optical zoom lens built in it. And the overall bulk and weight compared to other phones is blown out of proportion in reviews. I have a galaxy s4 as my current (soon to be replaced) phone and the K zoom is just barely heavier. I had to pick up each phone several times to really tell there was even a difference. The thickness, on paper makes this seem like a bulky device, but honestly holding it in the hand or even putting it in my pocket, the difference is once again negligible. I don't think either of those issues should hold anyone back from buying this phone. The textured back is also really nice and a grippy, and for some reason looks better than the ones on the S5. Also the screen brightness is actually brighter than my Galaxy S4 by a small degree. I did a side by side white screen comparison. So if you can be okay with an S4's brightness you should be fine with this as well. Just on looks and feel alone, I'm very impressed so far. If the performance stays snappy as I assume it will with the Exnos Hexacore, I can see this being my daily driver for a long time. Maybe until the next generation. I'll do another update if I find any quirks or unexpected fails, but so far, no regrets with this purchase. I hope it'll sell well overseas so carriers pick it up here in the U.S. The better this phone does sales wise the better the future of all camera centric phones will be.

I am currently looking to buy this phone for use here in the US, but it was never released domestically. Have you had any problems using an international version here in the US? I have never used an international phone. It would be on Cricket/ATT network. I am replacing my S4 Zoom. After having the S4 Zoom, I can't go back to blurry and grainy pictures with a phone!! Have you had any issues with the phone since you bought it (software or hardware wise)?
38. paulyd0021 (Posts: 18; Member since: 20 Dec 2013)
Well I did find one design flaw, the lanyard spot. It's on the top left corner of the phone, which is an awkward place to put it, unless maybe you're left handed. Even so, it's still a weird spot. When you hold the phone up to speak, you're going to have a lanyard dangling off from the top like a tassel. Now I understand why Samsung didn't include a lanyard in the box, they were hoping no one would notice they accidentally placed the hole for it on the wrong end of the phone.

AFF Employment Campaign
The Results of the Employment Campaign
Following an AFF Employment Survey held in 2012, AFF ran an Employment Campaign to highlight some of the disadvantages Armed Forces spouses face. The Employment Campaign has now come to an end and we are happy that many issues have been successfully addressed. However, AFF believes that there is still much to do to improve spousal employment and career prospects and we look forward to tackling these during 2013.
Armed Forces Champions
One key aim was to raise the profile and change the terms of reference of Jobcentre Plus' Armed Forces Champions (AFC). We are pleased that this has been achieved and we are now successfully working with AFCs to resolve individual cases. An AFC Conference was held in November 2012, which was a great recognition by the Department for Work and Pensions of the key issues that face Service families.
AFF is keen that AFC roles continue to develop, especially when it comes to educating customer-facing Jobcentre Plus staff about the challenges faced by Service families seeking employment and claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA).
Retention of Service Families Accommodation (SFA)
We also lobbied for retention of SFA to allow spouses to work their contractual notice period if their soldier is short-toured. We also wanted spouses to be able to retain SFA if they were in the midst of further/higher education courses, where they had a reasonable expectation of completing the course before their soldier was posted.
AFF is extremely pleased that policy is now in place, within the relevant JSP, to enable spouses to retain SFA once a case to the Housing Allocations Service Centre (HASC) has been made and agreed.
Easement of conditions for claiming Jobseeker's Allowance following an overseas tour
AFF had been very concerned that spouses on overseas assignments were unable to claim contributory JSA on their return to the UK as they were unable to meet the National Insurance contribution conditions for entitlement.
AFF is delighted that this disadvantage has been removed by the Government, which has introduced changes to the conditions for claiming JSA to make it easier for spouses to claim this benefit.
Conclusions and Next Steps
AFF is delighted that we have achieved many of our Employment Campaign goals. Most important has been the positive shift in attitude towards Service families in 2012 through the Armed Forces Covenant. In addition, there have been several changes in policy that have removed previous disadvantages to families and the Government has also bought into improving employment opportunities for spouses. This was demonstrated by its endorsement of the Military Spouses Business and Employment Charter in November 2012.
AFF wants to see further career opportunities created for spouses and encourages employers to recognise the advantages of using the Armed Forces families' talent pool. We are running an 'Employer of the Year Award' and look forward to seeing positive evidence of how employers work with Armed Forces spouses.
Our work with the Department for Work and Pensions continues, as does our relationships with spouse-friendly organisations including Recruit For Spouses and SEEN (Service Employment and Enterprise Network). We are also working with COBSEO charities dedicated to finding employment opportunities for Forces veterans to ensure the employment needs for spouses are also catered for.

Dragon Age Origins
Inspired by "realistic" modern fantasy like George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, Bioware's Dragon Age uses an evolved 3D tactical real-time combat system in a deep role-playing game with large-scale creature combat. Dragon Age uses the same branching conversation system as Bioware's Mass Effect and offers multiple different "origin stories," resulting in a unique game depending on which character archetype you choose.

Clubs/extracurriculars: Political Science Club, National Honor Society, volunteer at a elementary school.
If you could increase spending on education, what areas do you think deserve the most attention? Teacher salaries. Teachers are the core of all education, and low wages serve to alienate those considering a career in that field.
Sage advice for the up and coming: Keep track of looming deadlines. Seriously. Death by procrastination is more common than you think.
Name something you wish you had done during your tenure in high school. I took too many Advanced Placement classes. They act as a black hole for free time.

Favorite book: Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift.
Clubs/extracurriculars: Spanish Club, National Honor Society, employment as a stage hand at the Wesley Chapel Performing Arts Center.
If you could increase spending on education, what areas do you think deserve the most attention? Annual wages for teachers as well as spending for classrooms. Teachers are becoming scarce in terms of employment due to low wages; and to educate students with textbooks and technology that are 30 years outdated doesn't seem too logical.
Sage advice for the up and coming: No single person knows everything, so just pay attention and make sure you focus on the future.
Name something you wish you had done during your tenure in high school. Gotten involved in a lot more clubs.

Celebrations for Aliquippa and Perry
By Mike White | Sunday, Aug. 30, 4:00 p.m.
Aliquippa won its 600th game and 13th WPIAL championship last football season. This week, the Quips are celebrating both feats.
Aliquippa is having three days of festivities and special events to celebrate their glorious past. On Thursday, a private cocktail for former team MVPs, coaches of championship teams and other select guests will be at Shadow Lakes Country Club.
Above, some coaches and players from Aliquippa's glorious past. They are, clockwise from top, Don Yannessa, Frank Marocco, Pudgy Abercrombie, Ty Law, Darrelle Revis, Sean Gilbert and Mike Zmijanac. The sign is from a road sign in Aliquippa.
On Friday, a golf outing will be at Shadow Lakes. Cost is $70. On Friday night, the Quips will practice under the lights and any former player is invited to attend. Refreshment stands and other vending booths will be open. "We're not trying to make any money on this. We want all the vendors to sell everything at cost. We're just trying to celebrate us," said Mike Zmijanac, Aliquippa's football coach and athletic director.
On Saturday night, Aliquippa plays Ambridge in the season opener for both teams. Any player on Aliquippa's 13 championship teams in attendance will be introduced before the game.
Perry celebrates 20th anniversary of championship team
The only City League team to win a state football championship was the 1989 Perry Commodores. Perry had some talented players that year, but practically no one gave the Commodores a chance of beating Berwick in the Class AAA title game. Berwick beat Aliquippa for the championship the previous year and just about everyone thought Berwick would handle Perry. But Perry pulled off one of the biggest upsets in beating Berwick.
A 20th anniversary celebration of that Perry team will be Oct 15-16. On Oct. 15 (Thursday), there will be a tailgate party for the team before the Perry-Westinghouse game at Cupples Stadium. The 1989 team will also be honored at halftime. On Oct. 16 (Friday), a banquet for the 1989 team will be at the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. Cost is $50 a ticket. For information, call Rahmon Hart at 412-443-5838 or 412-396-1117, or Mark Ward at 412-323-3400.
Hart is helping run the events. He was a Perry player in 1989 and the Post-Gazette City League Player of the Year. It's always interesting to see what players do years after their playing days. Hart is the Director of Milticultural Affairs at Duquesne University.

For the last two or three weekends, hubby, our little girl and I haven been going to the same place for lunch (a Japanese fast food, which I have yet to write about). Last Sunday, we decided we wanted to try a new place – still Japanese, but one that we haven't ever tried yet. So we ended up at a place, which we were told is only about 3-months old – Maki.
How do you roll? Maki's big question.
If there's one word that almost always sends hubby and me running to the opposite direction when it comes to dining, it's "fusion". Maybe we've just been burnt (figuratively speaking) too many times by so-called fusion places, I don't know. That's also the reason why after entering Maki and realizing what kind of place it was, it took us a few minutes before we finally went up to the counter and order. We thought, well, we love sushi and its "relatives" (maki in this case) anyway, so why not give this new place a chance. And we're glad we did!
On one wall of the restaurant are boards which tell diners how the place works. But if, for any reason you, missed those gigantic boards, don't fret, the people behind the counter will be more than glad to help you. ;)
The Maki staff were all so pleasant and friendly. One of the two people behind the counter, we later found out, is one of the owners. He explained to us how to order. The diner is pretty much in control of what he will eat. The Makis are made fresh to order and right before your eyes, kinda like what they do at Quiznos or Subway or Chipotle.
Step 1: Choose your type of maki – traditional (with nori wrapper) or modern (with soy wrapper). Step 2: Choose your "meat" – salmon raw, tuna raw, chicken, tempura, unagi, etc. Step: 3: Choose your veggies – Your first 3 veggie choices are free. Additional veggies will cost $0,.50 cents per veggie. Step: 4: Choose your toppings. You may of course, choose, not to put toppings on your maki. Step 5: Choose your sauce.
Because it's our first time, we thought we should give both traditional and modern makis a try. Hubby called the shots for the traditional maki and I for the modern.
Hubby's pick: salmon raw with cucumber, mango and avocado. He didn't pick a topping and chose "creamy miso" for the sauce…
We realized when we started eating that putting together a maki can be a bit tricky. The salmon raw, for example, got a little lost among the cucumber, mango and avocado. Nevertheless, we still like our traditional maki. :D
My picks: shrimp tempura with asparagus, tofu skin and cream cheese. I chose a topping of tempura crunch and wasabi mayo sauce…
I loved my picks, save maybe for the soy wrapper. What can I say, I'm a nori person after all! :) I loved the crunchy tempura topping and the hint of wasabi in the sauce. It had a little kick to it, just a teeny weeny kick that one might not even feel. The tofu skin, however, could be barely tasted.
We ordered a third maki only after we realized that two 10-piece orders of maki won't be enough of us. Abby, after all, can easily finish 5 pieces. ;) Our third pick was another traditional maki. It had unagi (fresh eel) with cucumber, cream cheese and mango. We chose a tempura topping and a terriyaki sauce.
Of the three, this was the unanimous favorite. The unagi and the sauce complemented each other really well.
One can also order appetizers and miso soup. We ordered edamame for Abby, who is crazy about ti.
For dessert we had mochi ice cream, just so we can give it a try.
Inside the mochi is green tea ice cream. I would have preferred just plain green tea ice crea, sans the mochi. Because it's frozen, the mochi was tough to the bite. The strawberries that went with the mochi balls were frozen, too.
Maki has two machines which aid the staff in churning out makis quickly. One machine evenly lays down the rice on a sushi mat. Another machine is used to cut the rolls into 10 even slices. Impressive! :)
The place won our hearts, er, appetites. We really hope Maki stays for a very long time. It caters to a specific market, that is, the sushi/maki lovers, which, judging from the Sunday afternoon crown (around 2pm) isn't too many. A meal of three orders of maki plus drinks, edamame, dessert and tip set us back close to $30.00, which some, would probably think is better spent elsewhere. The amount per order of maki will depend on your choices. We'll definitely come back again to do some more mixing and matching!
Oh yes, when you do dine at Maki, don't forget to ask for a frequent diner's card, one that they mark for every maki your order. After you get 9 stamps, your 10th maki will be on the house. ;)

Hi Gracie! Avoiding sushi was the biggest sacrifice I had to make, too, when I was pregnant with Abby. Hang in there! It's worth the sacrifice! Hee hee! Puwede ka namang mag-Japanese food. Just don't eat the raw stuff. :D

Woodinville youths receive Camp Fire's highest award
by Kirk Boxleitner
Woodinville High School seniors Alicia Fortune, 17, and Renee Becker, 18, were recently awarded Camp Fire Boys and Girls' highest honor, the Wohelo Award.
Fortune, a 13-year member of Camp Fire, helped increase awareness of the importance of physical fitness by working as an aerobics instructor for one year with the international students at Edmonds Community College. She has organized and led Father/Kid events for Camp Fire, is an active member of her school's DECA organization and cheer staff, and once held a temporary seat on the Brass Plum young women's fashion board of Nordstrom's. She has been accepted into the International Business program at Chaminade University in Honolulu.
Becker, a seven-year member of Camp Fire, participated in the "Kids on the Block" program on AIDS, a puppet show designed to help children in grades 5 to 8 learn about the disease, its risks, and how it can affect anyone. She has also planned Father/Kid events for Camp Fire. She was president on the cabinet of the East Branch Teens-In-Action and served on the Youth Round Table and on the Steering Committee for the State Leadership Conference of Camp Fire.

It's a great idea to streaming YouTube videos to Samsung Galaxy S4 for enjoyment anytime and anywhere. However, it'll cost you a lot of 3G traffic if there is no WiFi traffic, and the YouTube video will always buffer because of unstable network.

STARLIGHT NIGHTS IN KIHEI . . . There are many dining discounts right now. But they often happen at the same time frame as the next restaurant and you just can't try them all.
Well, Sarento's on the Beach in Kihei has come up with an innovative meal deal that no restaurant I know of is doing, and the food is super. I got to try it the other day and I know I'll be going back for more.
Sarento's Starlight Dining Special Menu is offered from 8 to 9:30 nightly in addition to the regular menu. You get three courses for $24.95.

The Maui News / CARLA TRACY photo
Executive Chef Rory Butts of Sarento's on the Beach oceanfront in Kihei will tantalize your taste buds with his Starlight Dining Menu.
"We wanted to offer kamaaina and visitors alike a unique addition to our regular menu," says Sarento's owner Aaron Placourakis. "All the other restaurants are featuring happy hours, sunset specials or late-night discounts and we sought to fill a niche. You can go to the beach to watch the sun set and then join us for an unbelievable three-course gourmet menu afterward."
For the starter, choose from Sarento's Caesar or the Kula greens with toasted pine nuts and blood-orange vinaigrette. Entree choices are chicken piccata, spaghetti with pomodoro sauce and Kobe beef meatballs; fresh catch with zucchini linguine, or pizza Mediterranean-style. Dessert is tiramisu or fresh fruit sorbet.

FOR THE KUPUNA . . . Kupuna means "elder" in Hawaiian and our island state reveres those with wisdom and longevity. In fact, the annual Ohana Luau will benefit all kupuna under the care of Hale Makua Health Services. It will be presented from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Kihei Community Center.
This year's theme is "Hawaii Five-O Revisited," and Na Hoku Hanohano Award-winning Danny Couch will be the headliner.
"Now in its 21st year, the signature fundraising event for Hale Makua Health Services has become known for its island hospitality, ono Hawaiian food, entertainment, good fun and festive aloha spirit," says Denise Wong. "This year's event will also include 'whodunit' Danno games and prizes, an international marketplace with silent auction and local-style country store."
Tickets are $50 for adults and $15 for keiki ages 10 and younger. Half of it is tax-deductible. For reservations, call 871-9283 or visit www.halemakua.org.
In addition, the first Aging With Aloha Festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Maui Community College in Kahului. There will be food booths with items such as Kawilani's Hawaiian Ice Cakes, crafts, live music and keiki fun. Admission is free and there is plenty of free parking as well.
o o o o
BITS AND PIECES . . . Now, here is something that will appeal to the animal in you. Pouchi Couture Boutique and Barkery will host a Doggie Luau from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Two-legged attendees may enjoy free shave ice and four-legged best friends may grind free treats. You can even have your pooch's picture taken in front of the luau backdrop as an added bonus.
Unisan in Wailuku has closed for renovation and when it reopens, it will be called KauKau Tin with a host of ethnic foods to please locals.
The North Shore Cafe in Haiku I wrote about a few weeks ago is actually a marriage of three eateries. Since I don't get to Haiku very often, my food spy, former longtime Maui restaurateur Micky Hennigan, did some research for me. North Shore shares the space with Haiku Sushi, which runs Tuesday though Saturday from noon to 9 p.m. and then Spice and Rice operates the same days from 5 to 9 p.m. The latter offers Burmese and Indian food. But there are only two entrees, both with chicken.
"And guess who makes the best cheeseburgers for $5?" Mickey asked me. "It's in the Kaiser building across from Baldwin High School. They make them right there and they have the best ingredients."
The new Coconuts Fish Cafe in Azeka Mauka shopping center has been luring in customers with its reasonably priced fish and chips, signature fish burgers, and fish or chicken tacos. Choose your cooking style, too, from Cajun to south of the border with ortega chile, to Asian-flair fish with soy and wasabi.

The best subtitles editor I'm aware about (and I have tested lots of them along the years). Worth the effort to learn how to use the many options provided.
To be almost 'perfect', I miss:
1) An additional feature to append subtitles which need recalculating the starting point of the second and following parts. For example, to create a single movie subtitle from several CD's in just one go. Currently, my methodology to accomplish this task is using MKVMerge where it's only needed to append them using one button. As the reference subtitle editor, I think SubtitleEdit should include a similar functionality.
2) A synchronization factor Value/Report. Would be extremely useful to synchronize audio on external applications.
Example: After fine synchronization of the subtitles to match the target video (using the different tools like Point Synch or whatever), I'd wish to know what % or the fractional value has been applied. That value would be unvaluable to stretch and apply the same delays to the audio as well in an audio editor like Audacity (See change speed filter).
@ Evil Dad: Did you ask Nikse about that issue already? He might have some advice or a workaround for you. He's providing support via email, also his blog is open for comments/questions.
He's usually pretty fast replying AFAIK, don't know how he pulls it off, prolly several clones involved :)
Excellent tool. It can be helpful to improve the split subtitle functionality.
Too bad version 3.4 and up requires .NET Framework 4.0 as previous versions with .NET Framework 2.0 are running at least 10 times faster on my machine.
Indeed the best, by far, must have IMO. Only thing I found easier to do with Subtitle Workshop is joining subs which need recalculating, it's just 3-4 mouse clicks in SW. Might be doable just as quick in SE and I just don't get it ;)
Anyway big thanks and kudos @ nikse (and all supporters) for this excellent tool, you guys rock!
The very best by far, and by far i mean FARRRRRRRRR !
An essential tool for subtitle editing.
Great software. works file with Unicode fonts (Sinhalese)
I work with subtitles a lot because I'm hard of hearing and this is the best subtitle editor on the market. It is absolutely fantastic. I been using for years.
Syncing subs to voice and frame rate is accurate down to the millisecond and easily done, with of without the Visual Sync feature. You don't even have to sync the whole sub if you don't want to, it gives you the ability to sync only those parts that are out of sync without affecting the rest. Usually when I come across an out of sync subtitle I simply wait for the first spoken word in the video, write down the precise time, and go into Subtitle Edit and select Synchronization > Adjust all times show earlier or later, find the line of the first spoken word and set the subtitles time to start there and move all the rest of the subtitles accordingly and check that the frame rates match. Easy.
Editing and adding lines is straightforward, for example, translating foreign language parts into English, (it has a great auto-translate feature) and replacing them. There are some movies where the actors are speaking a foreign language in some parts but don't show the English subs for it and it's annoying not knowing what they're talking about. I used Subtitle Edit to create English subs for the Italian language miniseries Il Capo Dei Capi and it came out quite good.
Subtitle Edit can also convert from one sub format to many others, useful for if your media player doesn't accept, say Advanced SubStation Alpha (ASS) subtitles, you can easily convert it to SRT or whatnot.
Nikolaj Lynge Olsson the talented developer of Subtitle Edit frequently updates the program, and unlike other developers, his updates always improve the program, not screw it up.
I really appreciate that he freely shares this program with everybody. When I get my Christmas money I plan on making a donation to the developer for this gem of an app.
works extremely well at many things for subtitles.
when i requested awhile ago that some things be fixed and added, they were attended to extremely quickly.
If I had money I would love to donate toward this project. It surely deserves it better than many paid programs.
Looks pretty good, but has quite a bunch of practically unusable stuff that could have been lots better. Like the horrible default Video-player, correcting tools which aren't configurable at all, and a lot of other worthless stuff.
If only Subtitle Workshop was still being developed, it was so much more clever & configurable, but unfortunately does not handle UTF-8 files correctly.
Great tool!!!
Never had such an easy process from installing to get .srt file!!!
Nice tool that gets better all the time!
Very easy to use for fixing subs except for one bug i found,if you load in a srt with no spacing between the time codes it will delete all the lines that are not spaced.
English OCR works well. Managed to OCR entire SUB file with only minor corrections in words needed. Less then a minute needed to adjust subtitles that were off by a few seconds. Creating subtitles is tedious, but simple enough to do. Appending subtitles (joining) was slightly complicated, however worked. You can use this to save subs as different formats. The interface was confusing for the first few runs, and I suggest becoming comfortable with what everything does. Overall, this deserves a '9'.
Really good tool. Works perfectly.
Undo function is good really.
English OCR is excellent.
Thanks to the author
man this 3.1 version is awesome !
In this mmoment, this is by far THE BEST subtitle editor! Very thanks to the author!
Major improvement on UI since 2.x. Now you can actually adjust sync with video, same as with every other tool. Previously you'd have to close the video preview window to adjust timings.
Only sub editor I know of that can handle unicode. Now with less suck.
Still some bad/awkward ui design like the video goes below subs, not next to them (most displays are widescreen) but starting to be usable.
- Unicode support
- Can rip from sub files
- Nice spell-checker
- Can't join/split subtitles
- Lacks of basic timing options available in Subtitle Workshop like expander/reducer and duration limit
- No framerate convertion?
- No undo buton/list in toolbar, neither crl+z hotkey
Nice program but it's weak where SW is strong and viceversa :(
I love this thing for sub to srt, it works really nice almost better than SubRip
To the earlier poster,if you look on the front of the menu you will see adjust all times with show earlier and show later,that's your shift.I use the program all the time with the newest version to stretch and fix errors and works great.
Downloaded this to do one thing and one thing only: to shift selected dialogs a few seconds forward. It can be done easily with most subtitle softwares. Subtitle Workshop can, with ease. So does Aegisub. Subtitle Edit, although look simple and much more polished than the two, frankly just baffles me. There is no SHIFT function.
This is something new and unusual.
An open source subtitle tool, that has already got a couple of novelties implemented.
Worth to check out if you work with subtitles a lot.
I've reported a couple of minor bugs, but it seems that this tool is a promising one.
I hope that more programmers will co-operate with the author.
Thank you, Mr. Olsson.

To request a copy of these requests, call (404) 639-7570 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice. Proposed Project Quarantine Station Illness and Death Investigation Forms--Airline, Maritime, Land/Border Crossing Illness and Death Investigation Forms-- Revision--National Center for Zoonotic and Emerging Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) [[Page 40361]] (0920-0821, expires 9/30/2012), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC is requesting a revision to an existing data collection of patient-level clinical, epidemiologic, and demographic data from ill travelers and their possible contacts in order to fulfill its regulatory responsibility to prevent the importation of communicable diseases from foreign countries (42 CFR part 71) and interstate control of communicable diseases in humans (42 CFR part 70). Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make and enforce regulations necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States. The regulations that implement this law, 42 CFR parts 70 and 71, authorize quarantine officers and other personnel to inspect and undertake necessary control measures with respect to conveyances (e.g., airplanes, cruise ships, trucks, etc.), persons, and shipments of animals and etiologic agents in order to protect the public health. The regulations also require conveyances to immediately report an ``ill person'' or any death on board to the Quarantine Station prior to arrival in the United States. An ``ill person'' is defined in statute by: --Fever (>=100 [deg]F or 38 [deg]C) persisting >=48 hours. --Fever (>=100 [deg]F or 38 [deg]C) AND rash, glandular swelling, or jaundice. --Diarrhea (>=3 stools in 24 hours or greater than normal amount). The 2003 SARS situation and concern about pandemic influenza and other communicable diseases have prompted CDC Quarantine Stations to recommend that all illnesses be reported prior to arrival. CDC Quarantine Stations are currently located at 20 international U.S. Ports of Entry. When a suspected illness is reported to the Quarantine Station, officers promptly respond to this report by meeting the incoming conveyance in person (when possible), collecting information and evaluating the patient(s), and determining whether an ill person can safely be admitted into the U.S. If Quarantine Station staff are unable to meet the conveyance, the crew or medical staff of the conveyance are trained to complete the required documentation and forward it (using a secure system) to the Quarantine Station for review and follow-up. To perform these tasks in a streamlined manner and ensure that all relevant information is collected in the most efficient and timely manner possible, Quarantine Stations use a number of forms--the Air Travel Illness or Death Investigation Form, Maritime Conveyance Illness or Death Investigation Form, and the Land Travel Illness or Death Investigation Form--to collect data on passengers with suspected illness and other travelers/crew who may have been exposed to an illness. These forms are also used to respond to a report of a death aboard a conveyance. The purpose of all three forms is the same: To collect information that helps quarantine officials detect and respond to potential public health communicable disease threats. All three forms collect the following categories of information: Demographics and mode of transportation, clinical and medical history, and any other relevant facts (e.g., travel history, traveling companions, etc.). As part of this documentation, quarantine public health officers look for specific signs and symptoms common to the nine quarantinable diseases (Pandemic influenza; SARS; Cholera; Plague; Diphtheria; Infectious Tuberculosis; Smallpox; Yellow fever; and Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers), as well as most communicable diseases in general. These signs and symptoms include fever, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, cough, diarrhea, jaundice, or signs of a neurological infection. The forms also collect data specific to the traveler's conveyance. These data are used by Quarantine Stations to make decisions about a passenger's suspected illness as well as its communicability. This in turn enables Quarantine Station staff to assist conveyances in the public health management of passengers and crew. The estimated total burden on the public, included in the chart below, can vary a great deal depending on the severity of the illness being reported, the number of contacts, the number of follow-up inquiries required, and who is recording the information (e.g., Quarantine Station staff versus the conveyance medical authority). In all cases, Quarantine Stations have implemented practices and procedures that balance the health and safety of the American public against the public's desire for minimal interference with their travel and trade.

It was another short night for the first team.
Lumen Christi High School's football team scored on its first four possessions and rolled to its third consecutive easy victory with a 42-7 homecoming win over Battle Creek Central on Dungy Field at Withington Community Stadium.
Lumen Christi led 42-0 at the half, and the margin could have been worse, as a seventh drive in the first half stalled on Battle Creek Central's 3-yard line.
Rafe Bellers scored two touchdowns, back-up Maurice Jones scored three times and Michael Cremeans scored on a 48-yard run to close out the scoring for the Titans with 1:59 to play in the first half.
Lumen Christi outgained Battle Creek Central 196-8 in the first quarter, and the Titans' starting backfield never saw another play.
The game marked the third straight game the Titans won with a running clock after leading by 35 or more points in the second half after an opening-night loss to Portage Northern.
"It concerns me a little bit that the starters haven't played very much the last three weeks," Lumen Christi coach Herb Brogan said. "It's the same as last week and the same as the week before."
Lumen Christi has churned through Mattawan, Battle Creek Lakeview and now Battle Creek Central and outscored those opponents 133-16.
Next week, the Titans are expected to face a much stiffer challenge when they host Marshall, a team that took Lumen Christi to double overtime last year. Marshall entered this week ranked No. 2 in Division 4 in The Associated Press poll.
Lumen Christi (3-1, 2-0 Southwestern Michigan Athletic Conference) entered the week ranked No. 2 in Division 5.
"We're not used to playing extended minutes, and that's a concern," Brogan said. "We've been a little banged up, but I think we'll be OK for Marshall.
"We had better be ready. That's a good team."
Battle Creek Central botched two kickoff returns that Lumen Christi recovered in the first half. Jacob Petersen had an interception for the Titans that led to a score.
About the only bright spot for the Bearcats was a 50-yard touchdown run by Chris Ridley in the second half with Lumen Christi's first-team defense on the sideline.
Ten different Titans carried the football, and three different quarterbacks took snaps. Bellers paced the team with 68 yards rushing on just nine carries. Cremeans was next with 60 yards rushing.
Starting quarterback Conor Sullivan carried the football just one time for 37 yards, and he attempted just one pass.

It's noon and I'm at Soccer City. A bit early, you might think, but never too early on World Cup final day. There are roadblocks to negotiate, crowds to avoid and all the excitement to savour.
The roadblocks come courtesy of the VVIPs who are in town: One queen (Spain), one king (Monaco, though technically he's just a prince), two princes (Spain and the Netherlands) and 15 presidents. And Sepp Blatter, who is technically a president but fits more easily into the royalty category.
More exciting, perhaps, are those who fall in FIFA's "guests" category: Rafael Nadal, hoping for a repeat of 2008; Katharina Witt, who (I know it's a tenuous link!) won an Olympic gold in 1988, the year the Dutch won the Euros; Shakira, of course; actor Morgan Freeman, probably as a standby in case Nelson Mandela can't attend; and a host of footballing greats, from Matthaus to Desailly to Weah and Milla.
That's an awful lot of black Mercedes and police escorts; no wonder the radio's been on about clogged roads from the morning. My short cab ride to the bus pickup had two interruptions: one for said black Mercedes and escorts (I couldn't make out who was in the Merc) and one for the bus carrying Spain from presumably their team base to their town hotel. It flashed by but I did make out Fabregas peering out the window, no doubt wondering whether he'd get a role tonight.
The stadium complex is a hive of activity even though kick-off is more than eight hours away. Some of the car parks are populated, a few are almost full. Everywhere there are armies: armies of volunteers, of police, of hospitality staff in their whites, of the FIFA TV crew in their blue, of, well, troops in their fatigues.
There are 90,000 people to feed, search, protect, usher in and out, make comfortable. It's a brilliantly clear winter's afternoon; the forecast is fine, not too chilly. Shakira and co are expected to perform around 1830. I can hear the music already pounding from the stadium. Watch this space.
