Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board Asks BOS to Terminate Joe Arpaio's 287(g) Agreement with ICE
Though I won't be holding my breath for a snappy response from the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board -- which is made up of volunteers appointed by the Governor -- has written BOS Chairman Andy Kunasek, asking that the Supervisors consider the immediate revocation of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Memorandum of Agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement concerning Joe's federal 287(g) powers.
This 287(g) authority allows for 160 cross-trained sheriff's office deputies to enforce federal immigration law. The BOS is a signatory to the agreement, which has allowed Arpaio to enact racial-profiling sweeps of Hispanic neighborhoods, whole towns like Guadalupe, and corn vendors in public parks, as well as shameful, un-American, SWAT-style raids on candle-making factories, door manufacturers and even the Mesa Public Library, looking for brown-skinned people without papers.
During 2008, ACRAB held a series of public forums in Tucson, Phoenix, and Mesa to look into these racial profiling allegations against the MCSO. The MCSO declined to attend, but the public, civil rights orgs, and other law enforcement agencies did so. ACRAB included minutes of these meetings along with the letter as rationale for their requesting an end to the MCSO's immigration authority.
ACRAB also wrote current Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, Acting Assistant Secretary for ICE John Torres, Attorney General Michael Mukasey, and ICE's man in Phoenix Matthew Allen, requesting an investigation of allegations of civil rights violations by the MCSO. In this letter, dated December 23, ACRAB made a pointed attack on our county's corrupt top constable.

"Lastly, Sheriff Arpaio through his numerous television, newspaper and other printed statements or quotes makes it very clear he believes he is answerable to no one at the county, state or federal level. He claims that he is only enforcing the law and he appeals to the masses as he is generally recognized as a master of self-promotion. However, no one, no matter how popular or charismatic, is above the Constitution of the United States, and we must turn to you to ask, at a minimum, for an investigation of these allegations and concerns."
Could such a complaint, along with those of Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and others, give our weak-willed Governor Napolitano the cover she'll need as Michael Chertoff's replacement to take decisive action instead of just sitting on her hands, as she's used to? Only if a new Justice Department investigates Arpaio and forces Nappy to act. Still, ACRAB's letters do add to the growing chorus of those demanding an end to Arpaio's fear tactics and race-based enforcement. And in that regard, they are most helpful.

Commissioner told of Ponzi scheme concerns
Relevant offers
The Securities Commission appears to have been warned about suspected Ponzi scheme operator David Ross three years ago, but took no action.
An email obtained through the Official Information Act shows Securities Commissioner Annabel Cotton was told of concerns about Ross in September 2009.
At the time, Cotton had a special role as commissioner for financial advisers, responsible for developing a code of conduct for the financial advisory industry.
The email reads:
"Has anyone every [sic] looked into the activities of David Ross funds management? He doesn't ad [sic] up to me and I could explain why verbally if you wished."
The name of the sender was redacted from the OIA document, although it is understood the sender was a professional investor.
Cotton said she had forwarded the email from her personal address to her Securities Commission address so that she could discuss it with commission staff when she was next in the office, "and to the best of my knowledge that's what I would have done".
"What happened from there I don't know. I would have left it with a senior staff to work things from there and decide what to do."
The Dominion Post has learnt of another individual who claimed he contacted Ms Cotton verbally about Ross, before September 2009.
The person, who asked not to be named, said he was told the commission was too busy to look into his concerns.
"I remember Annabel's words exactly," he said. "[She said] 'I hope you're not right'."
Cotton, who owns investor relations consultancy Merlin, said she had no recollection of the conversation.
The Financial Markets Authority, successor to the Securities Commission, licensed Ross as an authorised financial adviser in July last year.
Ross's Wellington offices were raided by the FMA on October 31 after it received client complaints on October 25.
Receivers appointed to Ross companies by the High Court have found assets totalling $11.5 million, a significant shortfall on client accounts purporting to be worth $449.6m.
The Serious Fraud Office is investigating.

Froch: Haye Has More Balls Than Klitschko, He Can Win
By Rick Reeno
WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch spoke to BoxingScene.com about the upcoming fight between his British countryman, WBA heavyweight champion David Haye, and unified IBF/IBO/WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko. The heavyweight blockbuster is scheduled for July 2 in Hamburg, Germany. If Haye defeats Klitschko to unify the titles - Froch believes the victory would be a huge achievement for British boxing.
"[If Haye wins] it would be massive for British boxing. It's a victory that Haye can definitely pull off. He can beat Wladimir. It's a tough fight, and everyone knows it. David Haye is going to go out and let his big shots go. It's a fight that could go either way and I'm rooting for David Haye. I want him to win it and I believe that he can win it. It would be brilliant for British boxing," Froch told BoxingScene.com.
Neither boxer has the reputation of possessing an iron chin. Both boxers have vowed to win by knockout.
"It could be a matter of who lands first, but I think Haye's got more balls than Klitschko. He's more self-believable and confident. You've seen Klitschko yourself, running to hide and [wants] keep out of the way. He's afraid of his own shadow in some fights. David Haye, he has a big set of cojones on him. I think he's going to land first but you never know. It's boxing," Froch said.
[quote=Dirk Diggler UK;10507944]Neither of them had power[/quote] Really? David Haye in his last 4 fights (= since he moved to heavyweight) [B]needed 11 rounds[/B] per KO (= 3 KOs in 27.5 rounds). Chris Byrd before facing Wlad (1st fight) [B]needed…Comment by hweightblogger on 05-11-2011
[quote=JoeyZagz;10507364]Froch is correct as always. Haye has never ended a fight in retreat mode or in the fetal position like the Klitschkos.[/quote] Hmm, maybe Haye should rename himself then to David "The fetus maker" Haye?Comment by LoveForBoxing on 05-09-2011
haye is going to k/o wlad in the middle roundsComment by UglyPug on 05-09-2011

[QUOTE=Dirk Diggler UK;10507944]Neither of them had power[/QUOTE] You actually have to throw punches to utilise that power Dirk If Haye was scared to throw shots against a flat footed, slow, ponderous Valuev do you really think he's going to chance…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (32)

Why not have a go at making some musical instruments with your kids (could even keep you busy if you are counting down to New Year with them tonight) http://www.redtedart.com/2012/10/15/musical-instrument-crafts-for-kids/
#MusicalInstruments #music #musiccrafts #kids #crafts
It is a great way to notate by hand (or finger) but Penultimate does it better, sending it to Evernote for me. And with iPad notation apps you need to be able to hear the music in your head anyway because you cannot get a full picture from just one line of hand written note-heads.
I have mentioned Musopen.org in the past on several occasions regarding their free online collection of sheet music and audio music recordings. Their site even made it into my High Tech-Low Budget presentation at the Midwest Clinic last December. Until recently the majority of MusOpen's recordings have come from good quality high school ensembles, college ensembles, or dedicated individuals. Although many of them have the normal background noises one would expect from a live performance they are still usually good enough to be used as teaching tools in a music ed classroom.
Now MusOpen is in the process of securing funding for another big recording project that will dwarf the success of their first one which added dozens of titles to their free recording catalog. This time they plan to make available all the collected works of Chopin. I've Tweeted or blogged a few times in the past when the Big Chopin Box went on sale over at Amazon for 99 cents, but this project looks to go far beyond that and at an even better price point. Plus, all of the recordings will be made available as public domain materials, allowing teachers and others to do with them as they please without fear of breaking copyright laws.
According to the project's Set Chopin Free KickStarter page. They intend to hire professional performers and record all of Chopin's pieces (over 240 of them) in full 1080p video and 24bit/192khz audio. With so many teachers realizing the benefit of using video clips in addition to plain audio listening in class the video recording thing has me quite excited. No word if they intend to host the video themselves or post it on a YouTube channel or a similar site.
The project has a goal of $75,000, over $55,000 of which has already been pledged. The project still has over a month left before the deadline so there is still time for individuals to contribute and help them meet this lofty goal. They even have special incentives set up for those who donate ranging from early access to the recordings, DVD's of the music, MusOpen Pro memberships (which provides unlimited access to lossless higher quality recordings), and several more.
Hopefully they will make their goal and push forward with similar projects as well. It's a cool idea that deserves to be supported and encouraged.

10 reviews | 4.3 out of 5
This is a very good unit. I would not buy most of what I looked at through other stores. This was cheaper but the quality is good. I hunt so I needed it for a large 20 - 60 x 65mm spotting scope. It also needs to stand up in wind which this unit does nicely. My only complaint is that the tilt is a little week for my spotting scope but does manage through other adjustaments (there are three adjustiments on the unit). It does not want to stay up because the scope extends so far forward it is frount heavy (only on the tilt adjustiment, the other adjustiments are strong enough). The base does however handle the weight eassily. It will do well for what I need.
It's light-weight and sturdy. Has a carry case. Good buy for the money.
This is perfect. digital cam and video cam fit perfect and does not fall off. works perfect.
Vivitar 67" tripod is a great value. This tripod was just too light for me. I needed something that I could feel secure to mount my video camera on. This tripod would work better with DSLR cameras.
This is a good tripod.
It comes with a carrying bag which is really nice.
Very light, easy to carry, easy to maneuver. This has all the features you would need and frankly for the price, this is a great value for money deal.
This will hold most cameras, DSLRs like Nikkon D5000, Canon T3i and 7D.
Buy this product and be happy!
this tripod is like a foot higher then I am 5ft 7in so if your in big crowds and need to take pictures you can, it even goes over my uncles head and he is 6ft 6in obviously if your smaller then I am you wouldn't want to put it that high. It's great for a lot of things you even have the level bubbles so you don't get out of angle, if your doing far off cam shots this brings everything closer, even you point in downward and side to side. You will love it.
The product itself is okay but no instructions came with the tripod. I called the company and they said that an instruction booklet was not available. How can they sell an item that does not have an instructions booklet to let you know how it works.....
I have found that this tripod is every bit as good as a professional tripod. It's very stable, Works with all 3 of my cameras. Bottom line, if you want a tripod but don't want to spend alot of money, this is the one.
We like the height and sturdiness of this product. We use it with our camcorder and digital camera and would definitely recommend it.

Market Failure: Poverty and Income Inequality
Listed below are several summary statements from the 2010 Census report:
- The
official poverty rate in 2010 was 15.1 percent�up from 14.3 percent
in 2009. This was the third consecutive annual increase in the
poverty rate. Since 2007, the poverty rate has increased by 2.6
percentage points, from 12.5 percent to 15.1 percent.
- In 2010, 46.2 million people were in poverty, up from 43.6 million in 2009�the fourth consecutive annual increase in the number of people in poverty.
Between 2009 and 2010, the poverty rate increased for non-Hispanic
Whites (from 9.4 percent to 9.9 percent), for Blacks (from 25.8
percent to 27.4 percent), and for Hispanics (from 25.3 percent to
26.6 percent). For Asians, the 2010 poverty rate (12.1 percent) was
not statistically different from the 2009 poverty
- The
poverty rate in 2010 (15.1 percent) was the highest poverty rate
since 1993 but was 7.3 percentage points lower than the poverty
rate in 1959, the first year for which poverty estimates are
- The

GEORGE BORGESI'S defense boils down to a simple question:
If he's been imprisoned and under constant surveillance for the past 13 years, how could the onetime Philly mob consigliere simultaneously be involved in a long-running racketeering conspiracy, as prosecutors claim?
The government's star witness, mob turncoat Louis "Bent Finger Lou" Monacello, claims to have the answer. He attempted yesterday to explain it to a jury - again - during the retrial of Borgesi and Borgesi's uncle, reputed mob boss Joseph Ligambi.
Decked out in a dark three-piece suit with his black hair slicked back, the Andy Garcia wannabe answered prosecutor John Han's questions without the braggadocio that may have marred his credibility in the first trial.

Parker Johnson os Frazer dribbles the ball during a Lights' Team Camp basketball game last Thursday at the Armory Gymnasium. Basketball camps at MSU-N continue all this week and next.
Montana State University-Northern men's basketball coach Shawn Huse held his annual Lights Team Camp over the weekend. The camp ran Thursday through Saturday at the Armory Gymnasium.
Huse said the camp had a different format this year, as players from high schools were put onto different rosters for the team tournament, instead of high school teams competing against each other.
In the 5-on-5 team tournament, Team Clippers beat Team Spurs 73-66 in overtime in the championship game, while Team Heat defeated Team Thunder 67-58 in the fourth-place game.
The Clippers were coached by Pat Jen...

Goes into bathroom when diaper is wet
Comments (2)
Check out my blog! www.SAHMto4boysplus.blogspot.com
Comminicating/initiating is something that comes with time and successful use of the potty. Think about it this way - in order for him to think about communicating to you he needs to
- know he is about to pee/poop
- want to pee/poo in the potty and not on the floor/diaper
- realize that you don't know he wants to pee
- realize that if he tells you, you'll help him get to the potty
and go through all those thoughts BEFORE he actually pees.
I agree with Business, that at that age it would probably be more effective to approach it from an EC perspective in that you are doing A LOT to help and support his use of the potty. Over time you can scale back.
In terms of "letting me know" he needed to use the potty my DS signalled about 1-2 times a month under 10 months, 1-2 times a week between 10-12 months, 1-2 times a day between 13-16 months, multiple times a day at 16 months and then we potty trained at 17.5 months and he took it over. So for us it was pretty gradual.

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

Two weeks after it was mutually decided to end the longtime high school football rivalry between Casa Roble and Del Campo because of increasing incidents on and off the field, some of the best regional sportsmanship played out marvelously in Elk Grove and Loomis on Friday night.
As No. 15 Franklin staged a dramatic last-second defensive stop at the 2-yard line to hold onto a 28-21 victory over then-No. 2 Elk Grove and keep its Delta Valley Conference title hopes alive, No. 3 Del Oro topped No. 8 Granite Bay 30-28 on Mason Humes' 28-yard field goal as time expired.
Humes didn't flinch when the visiting Grizzlies, in an attempt to make him nervous, called three successive timeouts before making his winning kick in a game that will go a long way in determining the Sierra Foothill League champion.
In Franklin's win over Elk Grove, sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson threw three touchdown passes, two to Jabarri Johnson, and senior captain Joey Banks had a remarkable 26 tackles and five of his team's eight sacks, including the final stop.
Elk Grove entered the game having allowed 29 points all season.
And in both outcomes, the coaches especially remember the good will.
"Just like Del Oro and Granite Bay, this is big here with us and Elk Grove," Franklin coach Mike Johnson said. "A lot of our kids have known the Elk Grove players for years. Sometimes, you get that timing where both teams run out onto the field at the same time, and that happened (Friday) night, and I'm thinking, 'Here we go!' The referees might've been wondering. But our guys are more likely to hug their guys than start anything. As heated as that game was, there was a lot of respect."
Elk Grove coach Chris Nixon agreed.
"It's a great rivalry," he said. "Both teams give it (their) all on the field, shake hands, hug, and they stay off the trash talking, social media. Definitely a healthy rivalry."
Del Oro coach Casey Taylor said the Granite Bay series has endured because of mutual admiration.
"They've made us a better program over the years, and I'm sure we've done the same with them, and there have been some great games," he said.
Victory at last – Kennedy coach Matt Costa joked that he can finally get off the couch and sleep in his bed after the Cougars snapped a 28-game losing streak with a 49-6 victory over Johnson.
It was Costa's first victory in two seasons.
"I can't begin to tell you how amazing it was," Costa said. "We just kept telling the kids that we just have to keep chopping wood and it will come."
Floyd Hillis-Cooper rushed for 190 yards and four touchdowns; Silencio Ratowski had 105 yards, a touchdown and nine tackles; and Adofo Williams returned an interception 45 yards for a score.
"I finally slept in this morning for the first time in two years," Costa said Saturday. "Now it's time to break down film."
Rankings update – Four teams jump into The Sacramento Bee's Top 20:
No. 17 Antelope has won five in a row and No. 18 Whitney four straight. They will meet in Week 10 to decide the Capital Athletic League title. Antelope beat Whitney last season for the championship.
Christian Brothers is back in at No. 19, having lost to Whitney 22-14 earlier in CAL play with other setbacks to No. 14 Jesuit and No. 7 Rio Linda.
The Falcons also own a 58-42 victory over No. 20 Placer. The Hillmen have a three-game winning streak, all in Pioneer Valley League action, including back-to-back routs of Bear River and Lincoln to knock each out of the Top 20.

HOUSTON — The Southern Baptist Convention approved a resolution on Wednesday expressing its opposition to the Boy Scouts of America's new policy allowing gay Scouts, though it doesn't explicitly call for churches to drop all ties with the organization.
While some action against the Scouts was widely anticipated, given the denomination's public opposition to the change, the resolution takes a softer tone than many had expected.
It also calls on the Boy Scouts to remove executive and board leaders who tried to allow gays as both members and leaders without consulting the many religious groups that sponsor troops. It passed overwhelmingly, but not unanimously, by the nation's largest Protestant denomination at its annual meeting in Houston.
"I think this resolution was a resolution of kindness, to say the churches that choose to continue with the scouting ministry should do so with an emphasis on sharing the gospel," said David Dykes, a pastor from Tyler, Texas. "As a pastor, I appreciate that the convention does not tell churches what we should do."
In all, about 70 percent of the 116,000 Scout units in the United States are sponsored by religious organizations. Many of those groups have decided to continue sponsoring troops. Among them is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which sponsors more Scout units than any other organization, serving about 430,000 boys.
The second-largest Scouting denomination, the United Methodist Church, was quick to respond to the SBC's move: Methodist Director of Scouting Ministries Larry Coppock said its congregations would welcome any troops currently sponsored by Southern Baptist churches.
While resolutions like the one on Scouting and others that expressed concern over religious freedom were expected, there were several resolutions passed that someone outside the denomination might find more surprising, such as a call to pray for the President of the United States.
Other resolutions called on Southern Baptists to fight human trafficking and to work to support people with mental health problems. That later issue has been on the minds of many Southern Baptists this year after the son of hugely popular megachurch pastor Rick Warren committed suicide. And earlier this month, Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee President and CEO Frank Page released a book about his daughter's suicide.
The convention also passed a resolution expressing concern about the high rate of incarceration in the United States and recommending greater use of probation and parole for nonviolent offenders.
The membership also voted to express concern about child sexual abuse and called on all Southern Baptists to report allegations of child abuse to authorities. That resolution was amended to urge Southern Baptist leadership to use caution affiliating with groups or individuals with questionable practices for protecting children.
It is unclear whether the amendment was aimed at any specific person or practice, but it comes after some Southern Baptist leaders expressed support for Sovereign Grace Ministries. That group faces accusations that church officials covered up child sexual abuse.
Travis Loller reported from Nashville, Tenn.

U.S. economic growth and job creation increasingly rely on the success of American companies in the global economy, reports a new economic study released on Tuesday, December 4, by Business Roundtable (BRT) and the U.S. Council for International Business (USCIB).
Authored by Dr. Matthew Slaughter of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, the paper, American Companies and Global Supply Networks: Driving U.S. Economic Growth and Jobs by Connecting with the World, details the critical links between globally engaged U.S. companies, their international operations and supply networks, and U.S. economic growth and jobs, including:
- Growth in demand abroad continues to surpass growth in demand in America.
- In 2010, globally engaged U.S. companies employed 28.1 million Americans, performed $253.8 billion in R&D, made $587.3 billion in capital investments in the United States and bought more than $8.0 trillion in goods and services from U.S. suppliers.
- U.S. companies of all sizes are globally engaged and pursuing new customers in the global marketplace. In fact, about 26% of U.S.-based multinational companies are classified by the U.S. government as small businesses.
- International operations of U.S. companies primarily serve foreign markets; with over 90% of the foreign production by U.S. companies sold to foreign customers, not imported back to the United States.
The economic study explains why U.S. companies need to pursue a mix of international and domestic business strategies to be competitive, reinforcing the need for U.S. policies that improve U.S. competitiveness and enhance the ability of U.S. companies to compete in the global marketplace. Earlier this year, BRT CEOs released a strategy called Taking Action for America that provides BRT's policy solutions for U.S. economic growth and job creation.

Amy Pond?
There once was a man from Nantuckette with a .....
Happy Birthday, Dear Jaycee!
I LOVE Horses.
My Mom does too. She likes to watch the Old Westerns on Me TV JUST to see the Beautiful Horses.
Thankfully, she is back home in her own easy chair with her 50" HD Screen and back watching Bonanza, the Big Valley, The Rifleman, etc.
I think she's on to something!
While I was visiting my son in San Diego, we decided to go to Shadow Mountain Church to hear Dr. David Jeremiah preach. Steve and I got up early on Sunday morning and took the hour-long drive to the church. But our anticipation turned to disappointment when we discovered that Dr. Jeremiah was not there that day. Some other guya substitutewas preaching.
A couple of weeks later, I was scheduled to preach at the church in Grand Rapids where my wife and I attend. As I stood in front of the congregation, I realized that now I was some other guy and they might be disappointed because they had come to hear our pastornot mespeak.
While we find comfort in the familiarity of those we depend on in life, we have to recognize that at times they can be substituted. But the One we need mostthe One on whom we depend for life itselfis always present (Ps. 139:7-8). When we desire to enter Gods presence in prayer, He is always there: Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice (55:17).
Looking for God? Hes always right there. No substitute needed.
Read: Psalm 139:1-12
Thank you for the lovely post about horses!
Here is a horse that is considered to be
one of the most beautiful horses in the world:
The Friesian Horse
Oooooooo...I saw some babies coming up the turnpike on Saturday! So sweet and wobble-legged!
Happy sight!
So cute!
Thank you to Everyone for the Pings, Links, and Posts.
(((((Goodnight, and God Bless)))))
Friendship is one of lifes greatest gifts. True friends seek a special kind of good for their friends: the highest good, which is that they might know God and love Him with all of their heart, soul, and mind. German pastor and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, The aim of friendship is exclusively determined by what Gods will is for the other person.
Jonathan, Davids friend, is a sterling example of true friendship. David was in exile, hiding in the Desert of Ziph, when he learned that Saul had come out to seek his life (1 Sam. 23:15). Jonathan went to Horesh to find David. The significance of this scene lies in Jonathans intent: He helped David find strength in God or, as the text puts it, he strengthened his hand [grip] in God (v.16).
That is the essence of Christian friendship. Beyond common interests, beyond affection, beyond wit and laughter is the ultimate aim of sowing in others the words of eternal life, leaving them with reminders of Gods wisdom, refreshing their spirit with words of His love, and strengthening their grip on God.
Pray for your friends and ask God to give you a word in season to help them find renewed strength in our God and His Word.
Read: 1 Samuel 23:14-18
Both Gorgeous!
Awwww, so sweet, JC!
Thank you both, my friends! I thought she was so cute leading that big horse. She seemed to know what she was doing.
I've been on a few errands. The sun is shining but its still coat weather! It won't be long though until we can run out without these coats, I hope!! Running errands wears me out! I sorta feel a nap coming on...LOL!
I have to go to work soon...very weird day today.
Walk with God daily.
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful cake, yorkie. I love it and if I'm correct, it has 25 candles on it.....I'll accept that....LOL!! Of course, that's just candles on this side that I can see!!
Thank you!!
This was so sweet, Meg.
(((((Goodnight to All FRiends, and God Bless)))))
Just precious, jaycee.
Love is the centerpiece of thriving relationships. Scripture makes it clear that we need to be people who lovelove God with all our hearts, love our neighbor as ourselves, and love our enemies. But its hard to love when we dont feel loved. Neglected children, spouses who feel ignored by their mates, and parents who are alienated from their children all know the heartache of a life that lacks love.
So, for everyone who longs to be loved, welcome to the pleasure of knowing that you are richly loved by God. Think of the profound impact of His love that was poured out for you at the cross. Meditate on the fact that if youve trusted in Him, His love covers your faults and failures and that you are clothed with His spotless righteousness (Rom. 3:22-24). Revel in the fact that nothing can separate you from His love (8:39). Embrace His loving provision of a future secured for you where you will be eternally loved (John 3:16).
When John tells us that we ought to love one another, he calls us the beloved (1 John 4:11; see also 3:1-2). Once you embrace how wonderfully loved you are by God, it will be much easier to be the loving person God calls you to beeven toward those who dont show you love.
Read: 1 John 4:7-21
What a great picture! Those were the days.
Thank you, Rus..I love the warmth and love in that picture, too.
I love this picture too, Meg!
Good Morning to you and everyone! Wishing everyone a great day!
Those horses are beautiful and probably love what they're doing!
I love "Horses in the Surf" kind of pics!
I LOVE that graphic, Meg! This is the first time I have seen it! Oh, for the 'good old days' (gone by). Sigh.
Happy Wednesday!
Thank you so much!
IIRC it was an accidental find while I was searching for something else one day.
It's 75 degrees and it's SNOWING in the neighborhood.
I guess I should explain... One of our neighbors has a cottonwood tree in their back yard. Snowy cotton puffs are floating throughout the neighborhood and piling up in every nook and cranny. Also, it's floating in the pool. I've cleaned up the snow in the pool yesterday and today and will likely do it again over the next few days.
(((((Goodnight, and God Bless)))))
Not far from my house, authorities have rigged a camera to snap pictures of drivers who race through red lights. The offenders later receive in the mail a ticket along with a red-light photo, which is visual proof of their traffic violation.
Sometimes I think of God in the same way I think of that cameraHes up there, just waiting to catch me doing the wrong thing. While God does see our sin (Heb. 4:13), He sees and takes interest in our good deeds as well. Due to His supernatural surveillance, God sees the size of our sacrifice when we give money to the church or to those in need (Mark 12:41-44). He hears our private prayers (Matt. 6:6). And when we fast, we can carry on as usual being assured that our Father . . . sees in secret (v.18).
Knowing that God sees everything frees us from thinking about the watchful eyes of others. When we do what is right, we need no applause from onlookers; when we sin, we do not need to worry about our reputation once we settle the issue with God and anyone weve harmed. We can rest knowing that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him (2 Chron. 16:9).
Read: Matthew 6:1-6,16-18
I know about Cottonwood snow! It sticks to screens, too.
Hope your day goes well.
That post makes me want to take my sewing machine out of the closet and MAKE something! :-)
You are a lady of many talents!
My Grandmother taught me how to sew. She was amazing!
I learned from a perfectionist old maid homeeconomics teacher...but it was not something I had a talent for..My daughter used to enjoy sewing when she was younger...has plans for turning an extra bedroom into a sewing room and starting again.
I might just do that too.
I am getting inspired....

A bad start was the difference for the Tascosa Rebels in their home season debut Tuesday afternoon.
The Rebels were their own worst enemy in their District 2-5A game against San Angelo Central, committing three first-inning errors that led to four unearned runs. They were unable to overcome that despite playing solidly over the final six innings in losing 6-2 to fall below .500 in district play.
While Central had a pair of doubles in the first inning off Tascosa starter Jason Conway, it was the defense that let Conway down. Central's Clay Wegner reached when Tascosa shortstop Isaiah Reyna booted a grounder on the first pitch, setting the tone for a rough inning for the Rebels (10-4, 1-2 in district).
"You can't have three errors and spot them four runs in the first inning," Tascosa coach Jason Patrick said. "It seemed like we weren't ready to play defense. Maybe we were out of rhythm with this being an early game and spring break, but that's no excuse."
Wegner scored on a double by Central winning pitcher Davis Martin, and another run scored when Tascosa first baseman Tucker Davidson couldn't handle Reese Montgomery's hot grounder to make it 2-0. Matt Sawyer's double to left scored Montgomery, and Tascosa centerfielder Beau Gray dropped Josh Barnett's fly ball to allow Sawyer to score and make it 4-0.
Conway gave up earned runs in the third and seventh innings, but otherwise pitched respectably in scattering nine hits over seven innings.
"Jason threw the ball well for seven innings," Patrick said. "If we play defense behind him, everybody's demeanor is a little different."
The Rebels looked like they would make it slugfest in the bottom of the first as Reyna and Jared Arce reached on singles on Martin's first two pitches. Raymond Salazar's groundout and Zach White's single to left brought home runs and cut Central's lead to 4-2.
But that was it offensively for Tascosa. After White's hit, Martin retired 11 straight.
All the Rebels could manage at the plate in the last six innings were a pair of two-out hits, Kyle Smith's single in the fifth and Salazar's double in the sixth.
"That big first inning can sometimes work against you but Davis had his stuff going," Central coach Patrick Penry said. "(The Rebels) came back but Davis zeroed back in after that."
Martin gave up five hits while striking out eight and walking none. Sawyer led the Bobcats (9-5-1, 2-1) at the plate with three doubles and drove in two runs.
S.A. Central 6, Tascosa 2
Central 401 000 1 — 6 9 0
Tascosa 200 000 0 — 2 5 4
Davis Martin and Luke Barber. Jason Conway and Jared Arce. W—Martin. L—Conway. 2B—Central: Martin, Matt Sawyer 3. Tascosa: Raymond Salazar. Records: Central 9-5-1, 2-1. Tascosa 10-4, 1-2.

On Tuesday, my cell phone rang -- just once. It was a 767 area code. With an unfamiliar area code, I didn't answer. I later looked up the area code, which was from the Dominican Republic. Odd, but not unexpected.
Then on Wednesday, I stumbled across a story from a Seattle television station. KOMO had a warning about scammers that sounded like what tried to call me.
It's not a robocall, not a sales pitch. When the cell phone rings, no one is on the line. It's called the "One Ring" scam. That's because the scammers computers to blast out thousands of calls to random cell phone numbers, ring once, then disconnect.
I didn't call back. If it was something important, leave a message. But the goal of the scam is to make a recipient curious about the missed call and return the call. It reportedly is a new twist on an old scam started years ago in Jamaica. The "one ring" variation is believed to have started in Japan where it's called "Wangiri."
Calls reported to consumer watch groups so far this month, KOMO reported, have phone numbers from the Caribbean Islands of Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda. So, for me, the Domincan would seem to fit right in.
If the call is returned, a person is calling a premium rate number that connects you to anything from advertising, to music, to would-be psychics, and even pornography. The longer you stay on the line, the more charges rack up on your phone bill, and the scammers get part of the money.
The scammers are set up as businesses, with permission to bill you through your wireless provider. According to investigators, the inflated per-minute or per-call charges can run in the hundreds of dollars.
Since the scam originates overseas, the international phone numbers are not regulated by laws in the United States, and the scammers make sure the numbers are difficult to trace.
Don't recognize the number, then don't call back. Curiosity killed the cat, and it may cost you a few hundred dollars.
