We're days away from kicking off the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. As the world tunes in to the opening match between host nation Brazil and their European rivals Croatia, we examine the relationship between football and some familiar names and faces within our realm. The likes of James Bond, Andy Chiu, Jey Perie, Gerhard Stochl and JP Plunier have each maintained a fruitful bond with the sport. While not all have turned their passion directly into a full-on footy-based job, football has, nevertheless, remained an important part of their lives and has effectively become intertwined with their lifestyle. We spoke with the group about their initial experiences playing football, the intersection of football and fashion, and of course their favorites for the 2014 World Cup.
As far as I can remember my first experience with football was during the 1990 World Cup in Italy. My dad had taken me to games months prior to the World Cup but in my mind, the Italian World Cup was the revealing event of a life-long passion for football. Roger Milla stealing the ball from Iguita and scoring in the empty goal was the highlight of my summer. At that time, Roger was living in my hometown and to witness a local hero become a world icon was magical to me.
The best experiences to me are the ones you have in the stadium. The mecca for me is the Nou Camp. On April 14, 2000, my dad, my brother and I drove to Barcelona to watch Barcelona play Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League quarter final. After losing 3-1 in London, Barça managed to turn things around and win 5-1 in extra time. An incredible experience shared with 100,000 fans. It was the last time I saw Figo play with Barcelona.
I've got so many memorable soccer experiences but watching the 1974 final between Holland and Germany on television at my house in Tokyo, and seeing the magic of Johan Cruyff and being at the 1998 finals at the Stade de France are two of the biggest ones.
My first experience was with my boy Sherm's team and not being really skilled at playing, I thought I could play the angles like American football. I caught a penalty and hand ball, which cost us the game and my teammates wanted to kick me off the team but thankfully I got a second chance. Another great experience was traveling to Italy and getting a chance to be treated to the full pageantry of AC Milan while David Beckham was playing there a few seasons back.
My first experience was definitely me being asked as a 4-year-old to join the football club from my hood: SV BERGHOFEN. Ever since then, football has been a very important part of my life. I was born and raised in Dortmund and being a Borussia Dortmund supporter since day one, I have to say that I had a lot of good and of course some bad moments. While a lot of people would say Dortmund winning the UEFA Champions League against Juventus in Turin in 1997 was their favorite, for me the best moment was the game against Deportivo La Coruna in 1994. Even though back then the stadium was much smaller and with less people, for some reason I remember that game being the most energetic one I'd ever been to. Basically everyone in the game went berserk.
I was born and raised in Vienna, Austria so like every little kid there I pretty much grew up playing soccer and joined a local club (FC Admira Wacker) at an early age. I remember us all running around trying to chase the ball and not really knowing what we were doing. A fat old coach kept yelling at us and made us do situps when we misplaced a pass. It was kind of odd. But there was one kid who was a thousand times better than everyone else. It's weird how clearly I still remember that even today. He could juggle the ball endlessly, shoot when he actually meant to, and more or less run circles around everyone else. We ended up sitting next to one another in grade school and the little boy (whose name was Markus Scharrer) pretty quickly moved to a bigger and better team in Vienna. He ended up playing professionally and winning the Austrian championship. The whole experience helped me rule out entertaining dreams of a professional soccer career before I even hit my teens. I realized later that was kind of a blessing, and it eventually led me to skateboarding which was of course positively life-changing.
I think that in Europe, football has always had a huge impact on streetwear and youth culture, much in the same way basketball influences streetwear here in the U.S. It's part of the popular culture and every kid can relate to it. I'm personally not a huge fan of football-inspired street-ready footwear for aesthetic reasons. But it's very logical to see more kids influenced by their favorite athletes; they are the icons of our generation, much more so than movie stars, and what they endorse will automatically have repercussions on how our youth dress, act and play.
The hipsterization of the game has come about when 12-year-olds are deciding what shoe is cool on Facebook and dads are trying to keep up with their kid's newfound passions by watching too many games on cable. Many good things are coming out of this but the ultimate peak was 1970s Euro football style from the kit down to the adidas Gazelle, which due to its simplicity and bang can never be surpassed.
Today's players are financially empowered and big on social media and streetwear. Instead of wanting to be rappers they want to be clothing designers. A lot of the young players have so much time to study the industry that at times they are more versed in it than the actual people involved.
At the end of the day I think it is logical and inevitable that the two intersect. I mean we as human beings have to wear clothes and shoes and are always looking to carve out our own individual style, and that really derives from everyone's individual environment and needs. I take myself as a example: I combine functional pieces with more fashionable pieces to create a style that suits me personally.
Well, it's actually something we (at the Chinatown Soccer Club) have firsthand experience with. Back in 2008, adidas gave us the chance to design our own soccer shoe. Initially, their plan was to have us customize an expensive cleat. As a club, that was somewhat removed from what we envisioned as the ideal footwear for what we were doing. For starters, we play on pretty hard turf ground here in New York so cleats don't make much sense. Besides, we banned them from our games anyway since it's really not fun getting your metatarsal cracked in half because somebody accidentally steps on you with one of those crazy bladed boots during a friendly kickaround. Plus, we wanted a sneaker that we could wear while riding our bikes to the pitch. Or skateboard to the corner store. And obviously be able to kick around in. Essentially, be the one pair of shoes you'd need to bring if you went on a trip somewhere. We ended up settling on one of the lesser known Top Sala models (an indoor soccer shoe) and applying some low-key branding elements to it. adidas was cool enough to let us do that and worked with us on making sure that the shoe hit all the right spots. They were only made as a small run but some of our members still wear them today.
I think the World Cup trophy will stay in South America after July 14. Brazil and Argentina have, in my opinion, the strongest chances. My heart would always be on La Roja (the Spanish national team) but this year, I believe we'll have a non-European winner.
France of course, I cheer for them even when they go on strike.
The USA.
There is no question that I cheer for Germany. Being born in such a football-focused country there are no other options. Besides that I wonder how someone can cheer for a team that has nothing to do with oneself.
I think there are specific requirements that qualify oneself as a fan of a country or a team. People discuss with me all the time about clubs and teams and tell me this and that but have never been to "their" club's stadium. I am very strict with those requirements because I hate people supporting teams without foundation or reason.
The Germans. Most of my (Austrian) countrymen make a point of hating their big neighbor (and its team), opting to instead cheer for Spain, Brazil or Holland. It's quite bizarre. Having lived in Germany for a few years myself, I'm at peace with its people. Especially nowadays, when they put forth a young, multicultural squad that plays entertaining and technically brilliant attacking football.
Messi, without a doubt. He brought us so much joy the last eight years with Barcelona, I just want him to fulfill his dream with La Albiceleste. Every generation needs a legend; for the Messi legend to be complete, he needs a World Cup title.
My favorite players are Asamoah Gyan for being the Dark Star who can do anything, Mathieu Valbuena for his energy, Anrdrea Pirlo for his intelligence, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his absence.
Omar Gonzalez. I requested to work with him as he is a member of the home team LA Galaxy and a really good U.S.-born player. My kid wants to be him now every time he suits up to play for his club.
I'm disappointed that Ronaldinho was not chosen, he was a true god. My favorite players are Marco Reus and Kevin Großkreutz because both are Dortmund natives and they have really integrated themselves well with the team.
Too many to count! That being said, my mind seems to always wander towards Mesut Özil. He's sort of like the Tom Penny of world football. That's a skateboarding reference, obviously, but anybody who can make something that's ridiculously hard look effortless will always be near the top of my list.

We as Baptists have never agreed on all points. This does not justify anger. No one individual is always right.

Einstein's theories of relativity suggest that gravity can cause time to slow down. Now scientists have demonstrated a way to stop time altogether—or at least, to give the appearance of time stopping by bending light to create a hole in time.
The new research builds on recent demonstrations of "invisibility cloaks" that can make objects seem to disappear by bending waves of visible light.
"Time Cloak" Created; Can Make Events Disappear

Book examines America's turn from science, warns of danger for democracy
Americans have trouble dealing with science, and one place that's especially obvious is in presidential campaigns, says Shawn Lawrence Otto, who tried, with limited success, to get the candidates to debate scientific questions in the 2008 presidential election.
Otto is the author of a new book, "Fool me twice: Fighting the assault on science in America," which opens with a quote from Thomas Jefferson: "Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government."
Large Hadron Collider team detect 'new particle'
Large Hadron Collider scientists including a group from the UK believe they have detected their first new subatomic particle. Known as Chi (the Greek X symbol) b (3P), it is a "boson" like the fabled Higgs particle believed to underpin mass.
Chib(3P) provides a new way of combining two other elementary particles, the "beauty" quark and its antiquark, so that they bind together. Quarks are the building blocks of protons and neutrons, which form the cores of atoms.
Scientists find monster black holes, biggest yet
Scientists have found the biggest black holes known to exist -- each one 10 billion times the size of our sun. A team led by astronomers at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered the two gigantic black holes in clusters of elliptical galaxies more than 300 million light years away. That's relatively close on the galactic scale.
"They are monstrous," Berkeley astrophysicist Chung-Pei Ma told reporters. "We did not expect to find such massive black holes because they are more massive than indicated by their galaxy properties. They're kind of extraordinary."
New test finds reutrinos still faster than light
A new experiment appears to provide further evidence that Einstein may have been wrong when he said nothing could go faster than the speed of light, a theory that underpins modern thinking on how the universe works.
The new evidence, challenging a dogma of science that has held since Albert Einstein laid out his theory of relativity in 1905, appeared to confirm a startling finding that sub-atomic particles called neutrinos could travel fractions of a second faster.
Pristine Big Bang Gas Found
Scientists have found two interstellar clouds of original gas, which -- unlike everything else in the universe -- has never mingled with elements forged later in stars. The existence of pristine gas that formed minutes after the Big Bang explosion some 13.7 billion years ago, had been predicted, but never before observed.
The clouds, which are located about 12 billion light-years from Earth within the constellations Ursa Major and Leo, were found serendipitously during an ongoing study to characterize gas in distant galaxies.
World's most powerful laser to tear apart the vacuum of space
Due to follow in the footsteps of the Large Hadron Collider, the latest "big science" experiment being proposed by physicists will see the world's most powerful laser being constructed.
Capable of producing a beam of light so intense that it would be equivalent to the power received by the Earth from the sun focused onto a speck smaller than a tip of a pin, scientists claim it could allow them boil the very fabric of space – the vacuum.

On the cool side, the controller artwork was created by Todd McFarlane, and they each come with Halo figure from McFarlane Toys. The headset, however, is just an uglified version of the standard Microsoft one, with a Halo 3 logo slapped on it. Advertisement Advertisement For $60 a pop, the controllers aren't a horrible value proposition, but to pay that much for a baby-shit-colored headset should test the devotion of even the hardiest fanboy.

ENVIRONMENT: Desert tortoise gets 7,400 acres
What is a conservation bank?
• A conservation or mitigation bank is privately or publicly owned land that protects threatened and endangered species habitat.
• Mitigation is required to compensate for a project's impact on threatened or endangered species or their habitat. Steps taken to minimize environmental impact can include setting aside habitat outside the project area or buying credits in a conservation bank.
• In exchange for permanently protecting, managing and monitoring the land, the bank operator is allowed to sell or transfer habitat credits to developers who need to satisfy legal requirements for mitigating the environmental impacts of projects.
• Conservation banks help consolidate small, fragmented mitigation lands into large, contiguous preserves, which have much higher wildlife habitat values.
• Agencies that approve and regulate conservation banks are the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service.

Desert tortoise
STATUS: In the early 1900s, as many as 1,000 tortoises per square mile inhabited the Mojave Desert. As late as the 1950s, the population averaged at least 200 adults per square mile. More recent studies show the level is now five to 60 adults per square mile. In 1990, the tortoise was listed as threatened with extinction under the Endangered Species Act.
THREATS: Primarily human activities causing loss of habitat, including road construction, housing and energy developments, conversion of native habitats to agriculture, grazing and off-road vehicle use, as well as disease.
HABITAT AND RANGE: Creosote bush scrub at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 feet above sea level, although they are known to occur in suitable habitats up to about 5,000 feet in elevation. They occur over a relatively large region including the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of California, Nevada, Utah and portions of Arizona.
FEEDING: Vegetation, including annual wildflowers, grasses and new growth of selected shrubs, cacti and their flowers. Desert tortoises forage in the spring and again in the fall, and obtain most water from moist spring foods. During the late summer, they may emerge from their underground burrows to drink standing water after thunderstorms. They may go many years without drinking.
BEHAVIOR: Tortoises are able to live where ground temperatures may exceed 140 degrees farenheit by digging burrows 3 to 6 feet deep to escape the heat of summer and the cold of winter. The animals spend up to 98 percent of their time underground.
Source: Defenders of Wildlife
More than 11 square miles of private land and prime habitat in eastern San Bernardino County have been set aside for the desert tortoise - which is sliding toward extinction - to offset the impacts of future renewable energy projects and other development.
While environmentalists were pleased with the conservation, they accuse Cadiz Inc. of establishing the preserve to appear more environmentally sensitive and win favor for its widely opposed plan to pump groundwater from the Mojave Desert and pipe it to cities across Southern California.
Cadiz's new "conservation bank," on the southeastern edge of the Mojave National Preserve, is separate from its proposed water mining operation in a valley to the south, between the preserve and Joshua Tree National Park.
Critics of the pumping project, including Seth Shteir of the National Parks Conservation Association, say it would deplete the ancient aquifer and dry up seeps and springs for the desert tortoise and other creatures in the surrounding Fenner Valley. And that has cast a shadow on the newly declared preserve land.
The conservation bank "doesn't alleviate or minimize or mitigate the damage that will be caused by the Cadiz water project," said Shteir, senior program coordinator for the group, one of several that sued unsuccessfully to block the water project. "We feel that this recent effort is an attempt to greenwash that project."
Los Angeles-based Cadiz established the 7,400-acre conservation bank earlier this month through the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. The concept is similar to cap and trade, with developers buying mitigation credits in the bank if their project affects the tortoise or its habitat, rather than having to search for property on their own.
The desert tortoise is a hardy species, able to live years without water and survive temperatures of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. But their numbers have dwindled since the 1950s as their habitat was swallowed up by development. They were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1990.
Since then, the battle over their territory has grown even more heated as utilities hustle to meet a mandate that one-third of their energy come from renewable sources by 2020. Solar and wind energy projects have been approved for almost 48,000 acres of the California desert and applications on more than 70,000 acres are pending, according to the Bureau of Land Management.
The conservation land is made up of a dozen separate parcels around Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 95 west of Needles. It is part of the 70 square miles Cadiz has owned in the Mojave since 1993.
"This is a way we can harmonize our other land uses while providing land benefits," said Scott Slater, the company's president and CEO.
The conservation bank stands to be profitable for Cadiz.
With quality habitat and privately owned parcels hard to find, desert land that once sold for less than $1,000 an acre now sells for five times that, said Ileene Anderson, a biologist for the Center for Biological Diversity, which also sued to block Cadiz's water project.
"These lands would be hard to develop and this is one way they can make money off these lands and also look environmentally sensitive," she said.
Slater denied any financial motives for setting up the Fenner Valley Desert Tortoise Conservation Bank.
The company doesn't need the mitigation land for any of its projects, spokeswoman Courtney Degener said. Depending on where a project is located, the developer must acquire one to four acres of mitigation land for every one acre disturbed.

Equity Residential Properties Trust said today that it would buy Wellsford Residential Property Trust for $620 million in stock, solidifying the company's position as the nation's largest apartment owner.
Equity Residential is a real estate investment trust based in Chicago and controlled by Sam Zell. Its purchase of Wellsford increases its apartment holdings 26 percent, to 317 complexes with 90,873 units, about double its nearest competitor, Security Capital Pacific Trust, based in El Paso.
Wellsford's 19,000 units are mainly in the Southwest, Rocky Mountain states and the Northwest. The purchase would also make Equity Residential the second-largest publicly traded real estate investment trust, or REIT, with a market capitalization of $5.3 billion. Under the terms of the purchase, Wellsford, based in New York, will swap each of its shares for 0.625 share of Equity Residential. At a closing price today of $42.375, the stock swap values Wellsford's shares at $26.48 each.
Shares of Wellsford closed up today $2.484, to $28.234 on the New York Stock Exchange.Continue reading the main story

China's capital city is already one of the largest in the world, but it's about to get a whole lot bigger. As the Chinese population continues to migrate from rural to urban areas, the Chinese government is planning for megacity of 130 million.
New York Times
For urbanization in China's cities to be truly human-centered, pedestrianization plans must be thoroughly considered.
The City Fix
In theory, sprawl can be limited by good planning. In practice, sprawl is an exceedingly challenging phenomenon to stop. This post looks at the systemic challenges of stopping sprawl in mainland China.
China Urban Development Blog
Existing grey infrastructure in China cannot cope with rapid urban expansion and frequent droughts and floods. Several cities, with Beijing's approval, are experimenting with rainwater capture methods as an alternative.
Environment & Energy Publishing (E&E)
Chinese and Indian cities have been quick to welcome housing developments modeled on North American suburbs, including "Orange County" and "Vancouver Forest" in Beijing. This globalized sprawl perpetuates all the ills of our own.
The City Fix
Cartographer Jeffrey Linn has compiled maps of how coastal China would look under risen seas. Over 40 percent of the country's population lives in potentially affected regions.
China File
China has added to the ranks of the world's megacities at a ridiculous clip. Even so, inland cities have tended to languish in anonymity. With new policies and economic orientations, the Chonquings are starting to compete with the Shanghais.
The Diplomat
An IMF working paper determined that global energy subsidies totaled $5.3 trillion this year, the worst offenders are China and the U.S. Placing a price on these subsidies, which include air pollution and carbon emissions, may be key to mitigation.
Net deforestation continues, but at a slower rate as the world's largest ecological engineering project stretches for a planned 2,800 miles. It is hoped the new trees will halt the advance of the Gobi Desert.
While widespread urban farming remains pipe dream in the United States, dwindling arable land and a mass shift to cities might make it a necessity in China.
The heights of the building envelope saw unprecedented expansion in 2014.
Linda Poon shares news of a short documentary about a Chinese artist trying to "bring economic and cultural development to a village struggling to survive China's rapid urbanization."
All those toys under the Christmas tree came from somewhere.
The Washington Post
China opened 32(!) new high speed rail routes this week, including a connection between Shanghai and Guanzhou equivalent to a trip between Los Angeles and Seattle.
Shanghai Daily
Mexico's planned high-speed rail project looked like tit was full speed ahead until the country rescinded the original construction contract, awarded to the China Railway Construction Corp. A new round of bids is expected soon.
A study titled "Walking, obesity and urban design in Chinese neighborhoods" finds that the population with least access to walkable neighborhoods in China—namely, the middle class, are suffering the worst of the country's growing obesity problem.
While environmentalists were hailing the historic carbon emissions reduction agreement between the leaders of the United States and China, the world's two largest emitters, Republican leaders wasted no time in slamming the accord.
CBS News
In a bid to urbanize its vast interior, China plans to settle one of its vast pre-built cities with workers unused to city life. Upon arrival, they undergo training to become instant urbanites.
The Guardian
A surprise, groundbreaking agreement between China and the United States was unveiled in Beijing at the end of the APEC conference, providing hope that the world can reduce the threat from climate change.
When China relaxed its rigid one-child policy last November, health officials were expecting an additional two million births to result. As of Sept. 30, they have received only 804,000 applications from eligible couples.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Forum for Polls' started by Salty, Jan 17, 2009.
Would you vote (in BB polls) if you vote was made public?
I said it depends on the question - but everyone knows that! :laugh:
It depends on the question. If you asked something fluffy, I wouldn't mind. If you asked something emotional, I might mind.
Depends on the question, something personal, or like spinach said emotional I wouldn't.
I already thought people could see how we voted, so I guess it doesn't make much difference to me, unless the question was too personal.
Well since this poll is public, everyone that votes, even if they vote no, is voting yes by their actions....
I love the irony Salty.. How long did it take for you to think this one up? Saggy couldn't have done better!
The poll is biased. Those who would not vote when the votes are public can't vote in this one.
Is this a trick question?
I didn't vote in the poll, but with my post. Does that mean I win? :tongue3:
I'll give an example of where someone may not want their vote known---start a poll that asks "Did you fall asleep in church today?"
"No!" for you, and "Yes!" to the second question.
(I always try and attend all our church services, whenever possible. :thumbsup:
At my age and after two surgeries, I need my sleep! :sleep: )
I once told a pastor that if he would preach longer I could get more sleep :sleeping_2: :sleep:
Now I am an Associate Pastor. I have not fallen asleep in the pulpit . . . . yet. raying:
Thank you for the complement!
I say fire away at me. Ask me any question. I'll answer & won't back down. I'm better at answering the questions on issues that I am knowledgeable or passionate about. I want people to know where I stand.
A person's vote here is not public-- at least now to me, now. Was that somehow changed?
Originally, one could see who voted which way.
I just clicked on "View Poll Results" and could see who voted for what.
I could see who voted for what before I voted in the poll, but after I voted that info disappeared.

The blackberries in this dish add a refreshing tartness to the sweetness of the lamb.
Be cautious and always take a holding fee from prospective tenants no matter how keen they are.
Whether you're looking for inspiration for Shrove Tuesday or just craving a sweet brunch dish for the weekend, this pancake recipe is a crowd pleaser.
This aromatic roast chicken is deliciously sticky and sweet, with a lovely fragrance from the lavender and thyme; the marinade also works beautifully with chicken legs and thighs.
Golden and slightly sweet, this richly textured soup is very simple to prepare. The cashews lend creaminess, and the garlic adds a lovely kick.
One of Mary's favourite ways to roast a chicken: spreading herb butter under the skin makes the meat extra moist and flavourful.
These meringues are the dense chewy kind rather than the light ones, which are often too dry. A little licorice gives an added warmth and depth to the chocolate meringue.
Made using the same method as with traditional arborio rice but quinoa is lighter and protein-filled.
Now the clocks have gone back, it's the prefect time to update your home with one of these latest designs
This quick salad of warm beetroot, creamy goat's cheese and fine textured lentils makes a substantial vegetarian lunch

The Leftmost City
Power and Progressive Politics in Santa Cruz
By (author) Richard Gendron G. William Domhoff
Format: Paperback
Checking availability...
Leftmost City by Richard Gendron
Book DescriptionAlmost all US cities are controlled by real estate and development interests, but Santa Cruz, California, is a deviant case. An unusual coalition of socialist-feminists, environmentalists, social-welfare liberals, and neighborhood activists has stopped every growth project proposed by landowners and developers since 1969, and controlled the city council since 1981. Even after a 1989 earthquake forced the city to rebuild its entire downtown, the progressive elected officials prevailed over developers and landowners. Drawing on hundreds of primary documents, as well as original, previously unpublished interviews, The Leftmost City utilizes an extended case study of Santa Cruz to critique three major theories of urban power: Marxism, public-choice theory, and regime theory. Santa Cruz is presented within the context of other progressive attempts to shape city government, and the authors' findings support growth-coalition theory, which stresses the conflict between real estate interests and neighborhoods as the fundamental axis of urban politics. The authors conclude their analysis by applying insights gleaned from Santa Cruz to progressive movements nationwide, offering a template for progressive coalitions to effectively organize to achieve political power.

Psychologist, sociologist, and theologian generally agree that suicide means giving up on life. Someone has reached a point where hope has left the horizon and the pain of living is greater than the desire to live. That is mega pain. Instinctually, communally, and in faith we are leaned to living. Everything about us individually and relational wants to live and gave meaning and purpose. What happens to destroy such a powerful force in a thriving human?
Every situation is a little different. One is abused or denigrated or stripped of portions of humananity. Another meets horrendous circumstance from which there seems no retreat or advance. A sort of limbo leading to destruction looms in heart and mind. I can't see my way out so I take what I see.
For some attempted suicides are cries for help and compassion. They are hoping someone leans into their pain with hope and healing. But any attempt is an acceptance that you might be successful.
St Augustin in the City of God explored the subject. My summary? On their way to dying, they died. We are all intended for physical death from the moment of conception. We are all intended for significance during those minutes or hours or weeks or months or years of life. The two are complimentary. Suicide strips the latter destiny short.
Suicide is certainly not the unforgivable sin. It does leave an indelible mark on the social soul of the remnant that live. Our questions are unanswerable? Could I have done more? Did I contribute to the angst? Is there something I can do to prevent the next?
The last questions has answers. The first two are personal to your situation and should certainly not to be left unanswered in quiet counsel between you and God and mentor. Social conversations are not the place to seek understanding to these.
What about, 'What do I do now for other?'
1. Get trained in mental health first aid. Be a first responder to family and friend. https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org
2. Take an inventory of the people in your 36 square feet of change. 3 ft to your right and left and be for and behind could be someone in distress. After addressing suicide this week in a conversation, one listener cane to me the next day. "That was me you were discussing. I was that person looking to leave. Now. I have hope." I had missed clues, hut now am watching closely.
3. Build your faith foundation. Hope is a powerful force. Faith is more so. Faith splits resistive pain with healing balm. Build it. Use it. Hclive.org
The Think Doctor – Phil
We Are The Difference
This is Black History month, friend. History causes us to reflect on the shadows cast on us by our forefathers. We did not create them, but we are certainly affected by them. A friend shared a picture from 1918 in Arkansas where 237 Black Americans were slaughtered in an effort for the "whites" in the area to assert their control and fear. To put it in perspective, those participating would be the grandparents of those in their 60's and 70's today and the great grandparents of the millennials. 100 years is not a long time. The sins of the father go into the third generation and affect their thinking. And the blessings can also.
Friend, we and this generation can break the chains. This generation can set a new standard. If we to chose violence and anarchy, we simply continue the chain. (Read the family facts below on the rising incidence of sexual violence among preteens and teens.) If we chose reason and connection to Christ with moral standards, we can see a different world.
Let's Pray: In this world, Father, we will have trouble. There is greatness in us. There is greatness in all of us. Yet, trouble tends to bring out the not-so-great in our emotions and actions. Teach us, Father, that hardship is a pathway to peace. Teach us, Father, to accept as Jesus did, this world as it is not as we would have it to be. Teach us to have courage to change what needs to be changed and give us grace to accept with serenity that which is not ours to change.
Family Facts: One of the disturbing trends in our society is violent sex among those at younger and younger ages.
"Significant numbers of teens (15-18) are experiencing emotional and mental abuse as well as violence in their dating relationships; this is even more prevalent among teens that have had sex by the age of 14." Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence review of Liz Claiborne study. http://www.caepv.org/getinfo/facts_stats.php?factsec=11
Another look at the impact;
Providing accessible and affordable community education for social skills, problem solving, family, co-parenting, relationships, anger and hurt resolution, and parenting is the right thing to do.
Support us as we make inroads in the rural and urban/rural communities of North Texas. https://solumcommunity.net/give/ In 2017 help us meet two objectives: 1. Match the gracious challenge gift of $68,250 for 2017 2. Have your dollars matched dollar for dollar with our $20,000 matching donor fund. Your dollars are doubled when you give this year.
The Serenity Prayer – by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
Complete, Unabridged, Original Version.
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Ask – Answer – Action
Over the last several years, we've been able to be a word of encouragement to leaders. Alongside, we offer information relevant to family building. Our nation struggles with family building and suffers in relation to this struggle. What came first, the struggle with family or the plethora of related social ills associated with the breakdown? That is a question with few answers. The question that makes a difference is, "What do we do with where we are to go where we want to be?" Now that is a question worth ask, answer, and action.
The link below is a quick read with some limited, but worthy notes of what can help when budgets are tight. Focusing finances is task we all must achieve with effectiveness and efficiency. At SOLUM CTI, we are launching a purposeful kids community education program targeting what works in the community closest to us. We can't do everything, but we can do one thing.
I pray for you, friend, that you and those you work alongside find the one thing that can make a definable difference in your community. Move it forward. Move it closer to where it needs to be. Ask – answer – action. Sure, it is not that simple. It takes work, coordination, communication, consternation, and consideration. The community is worth it.
Thank you for serving, friend. May the The Father, from which every family get's its name and commission, meet you in the hallways of decision. May He pour wisdom into your soul and insight into your vision for your community. May He open 2017 as an Age of Adventure like no other year you have lived.

Institute on the Research on Poverty University of Wisconsin-Madison Katherine Magnuson
excerpt from summary: Several early childhood interventions have also been shown to produce short-term and long-term benefits. Magnuson notes that the evidence supporting the effectiveness of high-quality, center-based early childhood education is strong, concluding that, in times of tight budgets when difficult funding decisions must be made, the research findings summarized in this brief imply that investing in policies and programs aimed at families with young children is a good use of restricted resources

2016 – 230 – Something Different
This missionary adventure is a challenge worth living. 230 families and their friends impacted in 90-day research and evidence based workshops in 2.5 years is a phenomenal start on a long haul journey.
Friend, leaning back in my easy chair is no easy task. The phone will ring. Someone will come to the door looking to reunify or stabilize a family. I'd like to lean back, but the press of lives leans me forward. September 2013 was the refresh launch of Community Transformation Initiative with a mission to put dads active in the home and connect kids with connected parents. Life Long Dads. We Need 'Em. That was and is our pursuit.
As we continued for months in the suburban and urban sectors a laser vision focus took precedence. The number of resources was overlapping in Tulakes Elementary and the Jesus House and other places we served. The coordination seemed bleak and confusing to those needing integration. Churches had a heart, but not the tenacity needed to get the job done. Unabashed, we pushed on to find solutions.
The journey took us to rural America. Resources for families are non-existent or sparse. Cooperation with the Community Supervision (probationers) delivering Life Skills (cognitive self-restructuring with social skills and problem solving) and then Parenting and then Couples Communication and Recovery brought us insight and awareness. A once 14-year meth addict pulled up and out is now a volunteer facilitator. A once crushed mom with an imprisoned son is now becoming a top facilitator. A once fractured family single mom is a regular assistant in the work. A once displaced homemaker disappointed and discouraged is a boost to the teens. A once gang leader is an intern and standing up tall. On and on it goes. Discouraged, defeated, disappointed, drugged, and dysfunctional have become the healers of the next group. While working through our workshops, they have become healed healers.
- Other pastors are asking for training to do the same.
- The mayor has asked us to help train others.
- The Boys and Girls Club is ready to host Dad's University on a monthly basis.
- The County Attorney is ready to begin a community wide faith based program in the jail and have us oversee it.
- Child Protective Services is sending us 2-3 families a week.
- Every time my car is parked outside people stream in the building ready to learn.
- One school with WatchDOGS is ready to be two schools with WD.
Friend, I've seen marriages rescued, kids placed back in the homes, and a community get hope. This is repeatable across the United States in like communities. This isn't just the workshops, we have discipled a pastor in Franklin, NH via Skype that is ready to launch with the same approach. He already has a group of men, whom he has been training in Franklin and now a small group of students in New York has started to meet with him and catch the vision. I teach him every Thursday morning and then he passes it on to these. Discipleship. Mentoring. Duplication.
The urban areas of the United States for the 2010 Census contain 249,253,271 people, representing 80.7% of the population, and rural areas contain 59,492,276 people, or 19.3% of the population. US Census Bureau
Inside of this rural population are cities of varying small sizes that qualify as urban due to concentration, but find themselves as islands with low resources for families due to isolation from metro centers.
Starting small with tiny funding, we set out with a BHAG, a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. What if we could establish a viable church, business, community, government, education, and media cooperative effort to fix fractured families? Could we package it to be used across the United States in similar communities? Could we start a revival of wisdom and compassion in our families? The answers are Yes, Yes, and Yes.
You know me. I don't do little things, just big ones. But everything starts little to grow big. Now we need to grow big. Now we need an influx of resources to multiply cities and states.
This lead chart is Gainesville, Texas in Cooke County. We are reaching tipping point of impacting over 10% of the population of the county. 1 person impacts 15. 300 impact 4500. The county has 43,000 citizens. We will cross the 11% generally accepted cultural tipping point next year. I believe we already have by the calls and visits we get every day and the referrals by lawyers, courts, CPS, and others.
My office in Moore is kept open in positioning for our better days at SOLUM COMMUNITY. It doesn't cost me much. As we begin to duplicate, I plan to coordinate activities across the state and nations from this centrally located spot. In Oklahoma, 20 locations would not be enough.
Every workshop we give is solidly entrenched in a Biblical worldview. They are research and evidence based, but we only use those that are also Biblically sound. If we can't support the wisdoms from a transdenominational Biblical perspective, we don't use that material. We don't teach Bible in our government sponsored workshops, we live it in our delivery and treatment of people and they ask us and we answer.
SOLUM COMMUNITY Transformation Initiative is a Christian non-profit. That makes us a bit different. We are gospel hungry. We lead people to Christ, grow them in Christ, and keep them in Christ through collaborative church plant. That is part of our secret sauce. Every workshop is covered in prayer. When a participant asks for extra advice they are told up front it will be Christian/Biblical advice. Some of our workshops like Anger Management and Couples Communication are research and evidence based with Biblical foundation training.
This model works, friend.
I have no qualms asking for your support. To get where we need to go we have contracted with the county for juvenile provision, taken small fees from probationers, received individual giver support, used community service hours to get work done, emptied personal savings, worked outside contracts, asked my wife to work full time so we have health insurance, and received from church planting organizations. It is not enough.
Let's meet (hangout, skype, office), answer your questions, brainstorm ideas to get more people involved, and pray. Every day, I live in a world of miracle provision. How can I pray for you?
I want to bring copies of two new books when we meet. By Grace is an innovative book leading church leaders, small group leaders, and interested Christians on a path of obedience to go into the hiways and byways and compel people into the kingdom. Transformer's Prayer is a quick four principle guide to help you and others get answers. Both will by available on Amazon and Kindle by the time you read this.
The Calling
encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
1 Thessalonians 2:12 NIV
When the Father brings you into His family, He opens a call in your life. It is up to you to find it out. He wants you to discover in Him your destiny. I pray for you. These callings are your fingerprint in life.
For me, I have discovered a few for my life. Prayer, discipling/growing people, presence of God, voice of God, father/pastor. These mark everything I do and all I am.
God then commissions you to do works. I work on unity in the kingdom. I work on developing solutions where others struggle. I work on family health. These commissions are done with the call.
When you accept the commisaion, He gifts you. He equips you. It may be through trial or a moment of supernatural empowerment. It may be through education. But He will equip you when you receive the call, accept the commission, and take action.
What is a piece of your call? Do not limit God to only call you to a limited and small life. Some tell me, "I want to preach." Maybe declaring the goodness of God is a call in you. How has He commissioned that call? Through acts of mercy and kindness. Through a life of peace and character in business? Through speaking publicly? What other calls has He added? There are many ways to preach. Most involve 90% serving and 10% speaking. Show me your faith by your actions.
I pray for you to listen for the call and receive it with humility and a servant heart. Then I pray for you to see a commission, a place to serve and be you in the home of the local church, Christ's design for occupying this world. And, I pray for you to step out in faith and be empowered from on high.
I pray for you. I love you. He is full of better and bigger days for you.

Aura (1 Week Ago),Bacchus (1 Week Ago),PrettySarcastic (1 Week Ago)
You can read it here: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3300447/1/Coin-Toss
Right now, I am involved in composing music for this one Chinese company; while working with them, they noticed my writing and want to produce a media presentation out of a "game concept" I have, with the hope of expanding it into a full game if it works out well.
Given that Katawa Shoujo really moved me back in the day, I decided to try my hand at a visual novel.
FIFTH LOVE (Visual Novel)
"Coin Toss" combines the two versions of the Prologue scene (normal and True Ending) into one story. The story line of Fifth Love is about a guy (MC) who wants to rectify his growing feelings of isolation and directionless-ness. It is told in five routes: the first four involve MC developing a (not necessarily romantic) relationship with one of the four main girls: his childhood rival (Rival), his twin sister (Sister), his first love interest and eventual first girlfriend (Romance), and a stranger he meets into the library with whom he ends up sharing a special bond (Confidant). All of these routes have their own set of endings, but each also has a canon "True Sub-Ending", which is the assumed ending for if MC went down that route.
The True Ending, unlocked after finishing the four True Sub-Endings, is the one story line where MC ends up befriending/repairing his relationship with all four girls; however, as the problems become inevitable (just like in the other routes), MC realizes the root of the problem is that he is relying on people to fix him; that is to say, he never loved or accepted himself. The result is a realization of his true nature.
I thought I would share this with you guys
Aura (1 Week Ago),Bacchus (1 Week Ago),PrettySarcastic (1 Week Ago)
I think that it's really cool that you have the different routes you can go down. I like stories like that, haha. Nice work!

I hope everything is ok and you and your family are safe op
I hope everything is ok and you and your family are safe op
I have worked closely with DoCS and I am about 99% certain that they were not CPO's based on what you said. Phone the police.
Please update us when you can with what is going on
How did you go at the police station?
Have you been yet?
I'm so worried for you, please keeps your kids close to you, don't let them out of your sight.
Sending many hugs and I hope everything is ok.
Ehm, I had a visit from DoCS when DS was just 3 weeks. Simply because I was a single mum and got into a disagreement with a pead at the hospital when DS was still in the SCN. He told me he was going to get DoCS "to sort me out" even though the social worker told him not to as I pose no threat to anyone, let alone my son. I was just an exhausted and anxious new mum wanting to go home after spending 4 weeks in hospital including her son's first Christmas.
They were 2 ladies and they provided me with a few bits of ID. They had a chat with me and then asked me if I wanted to show them the house. I didn't have to if I was uncomfortable with it.
Yet I had nothing to hide and showed them DS's nursery, my room with the bassinette, even the garage and bathroom.
They didn't take photos or anything. They commented that the house looked really nice and clean and that DS's nursery looked great and his cloth nappies were very cute.
They told me they would stay in touch and then they left. It was all quite calm and friendly. A few days later I got a call saying my case had been closed. That was that. I now still have a record that will follow me, if I ever want to adopt or become a foster parent
For these guys to barge into your door like that and yell and scream at you, is not right. It doesn't sound like anything a government organization would do. Im thinking that they took these photos to give to your ex so he can use them against you at some stage.
If he ends up doing this, you can tell him that you did NOT give permission to have these photos taken. You had your privacy invaded and not a little bit either!
Call the cops and tell them exactly what has happened. They might be able to get some finger prints and with a little luck, find who is responsible.
Goodluck hun, I hope these guys get sorted quickly!
I have been toying with the idea of fostering once my son starts primary school. I love kids but unfortunately I can no longer have any more kids of my own.
So it would be nice to know that having had this investigation, isn't automatically going to stop me from becoming a foster parent....
I'm sending you hugs xxxx
I hope you are safe and ok.

I hope you are ok

The Old Summer Palace, also called the Garden of Perfect Brightness, after one of its greatest attractions, was burnt down in 1860 in retaliation for the torture and killing of Western prisoners in China. Now a copy of the vast structure, which had been a refuge for emperors, will be

Such beauty I can not fathom... I may have to live the rest of my life as a hermit out in the middle of Iceland. Though if it becomes civilized too fast because of the rapidly growing tourist industry I may have to ditch that dream for living on the coast of Greenland, or maybe that lonely little island of Svalbard.
Frosty6226 has injected into herself... well from her blatant aggressiveness and what-not one can presume that she is on PCP. Though maybe some Bath Salts too.
There was a beach in Maine my family and I went to on vacation once. It was a grey and cloudy day, and the beach was essentially black rock. In little crevices and depressions in the rock, there would be tidepools. I was amazed at how brightly colored those creatures were. Are the tidepools at the beach in the photo located on the sand? I haven't heard of sandy tidepools.
Forget the dead you've left; they will not follow you.
The vagabond who is rapping at your door, is standing in the clothes you once wore.
If you're approached by a black bear: make a lot of noise and try to make yourself look bigger than you actually are in order to scare it off. If attacked, fight back. (This is the same strategy to use with cougars/pumas/mountain lions.)
If you're approached by a brown (grizzly) bear: stand your ground. Back away slowly. If the bear follows, drop to the ground—face down or in the fetal position, with your hands across the back of your neck—and play dead. Hopefully it will ignore you. Fight back as a last resort.
If you're approached by a polar bear: pray to your favourite deity. You're probably going to die.
I was wondering what I did with my wallet. Turns out I left it in the back pocket of my jeans. I discovered this after I found the wallet in my washing machine, after I had washed said jeans.
