Eden-Monaro Road Trip:
- Hook, line and stinker ... Labor's lost its lure on the coast
- It's a battle of the blokes in the nation's fabled seat
- Eden-Monaro voters seeking change through stability
Graziers Howard and Anne Charles are craving a free trade agreement with China but not even Kevin Rudd's mandarin or farming roots can prompt them to vote for him.
The pastures are a bit dry around their Nimmitabel homestead and the ground also appears parched of votes for Labor.
In the bellwether seat of Eden-Monaro the incumbent MP Mike Kelly faces a tough challenge getting farmers to vote for him because of a title he held two years ago.
"Mike Kelly was parliamentary secretary to Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig when they decided to ban live cattle exports to Indonesia," Mr Charles said.
"That decision really upset the Indonesians and it reverberated south."
Beef producers say a larger supply of cattle on the domestic market is still dampening prices.
"I sold 12-month-old calves recently for $560 a head - before I was getting $760," Mr Charles said.
Many farmers, while recognising the need for animals to be treated well, have thought it was a knee-jerk decision mostly made for political gain and with no thought given to the affect on Australian producers.
While farmers in the Eden-Monaro electorate tend to be mostly conservative voters, it is not true to say that at the end of each long, dirt driveway is a die-hard Liberal voter.
Labor scored about 40 per cent of the two-party preferred vote at the Nimmitabel polling booth in 2010, and other booths across the interior of the electorate recorded similar results in places such as Berridale and Jindabyne.
Mr and Mrs Charles, who have grazed their sheep and cattle in the district for decades, say much of their area has been turned into untouchable national parks by the federal government.
The couple said their paddocks had been overrun by kangaroos and weeds, caused partly by the parks and partly by restrictions on culling and the use of sprays.
Most of all, the Charles' said the Labor government lacked integrity, citing the controversy surrounding embattled MP Craig Thomson as an example.
They also said the Snowy Mountains hydro scheme started in 1949 was a paragon of immigration policy and were disappointed by the current policies of both major parties in regard to asylum seekers.
"The comparison of this story and of the boat people today should make us all feel ashamed,'' Mr Charles said.
Then there was another foreign policy issue that irked them.
For eight years Australia has been trying to strike a free trade agreement with China, six of which were with a Labor government heading negotiations, and they said action was long overdue.
Cooma farmer and swinging voter Michael Green has happily voted Labor in the past but said Dr Kelly had "knifed his commanding officer in the back" when he supported Mr Rudd's coup over Julia Gillard.
Because of this he said Dr Kelly should not be re-elected so he could go on to become defence minister for Labor. "He should have supported Gillard," Mr Green said. "He should have resigned."
Mr Rudd, who grew up on a Queensland dairy farm, has already said Dr Kelly would become defence minister if Labor won the election.
Mr Green said red and green tape was restricting the agricultural industry and country towns.
''The dam being built at Nimmitabel was originally going to cost $500,000 but now that has blown out to $4 million and two-thirds of that is red and green tape,'' he said.
The discovery of threatened species has slowed the project which was supposed to provide a secure water supply for a town that can experience severe water shortages.

Blackburn, Cougars cruise past Clinton, 6-1
L'Kings bats silenced by Cubs' 2012 1st rounder
By Cheyne Reiter / Clinton LumberKings | May 23, 2014 1:29 AM ET
Geneva, IL - Kane County got seven shutout innings from right-hander Paul Blackburn and scored two runs in the fourth to knock off the Clinton LumberKings Thursday night at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark, 6-1. Clinton's Eddie Campbell carried a perfect game into the fourth, but was not-so-perfect over his final two-plus innings.
Campbell sat down the first nine batters he faced, but ran into trouble in the fourth and fifth innings. Tied at zero, Campbell allowed three straight singles - the last an RBI single by Ben Carhart beginning the fourth - putting Kane County in front, 1-0. Yasiel Balaguert then bounced a grounder back to Campbell, who looked Carlos Penalver back to third before beginning a 1-6-3 double play. Penalver came home to score, but risked a near-triple play in the process. First baseman Justin Seager's throw was high and wide towards the third base side, however, giving the Cougars a 2-0 lead.
After Clinton was shut down by Blackburn for the fifth straight inning, the Cougars took advantage of three straight walks issued by Campbell. Following a Trey Martin lineout to third, Jake Hannemann lofted a sacrifice fly to left, making it 3-0 Cougars.
The score remained that way until the Cougars added another run in the seventh off of Thyago Vieira. Clinton answered with one run in the eighth, thanks to a run-scoring double by Jack Reinheimer, but it was too little, too late. The Cougars put away the L'Kings for good with two runs in the bottom of the eighth, one coming on a Balaguert blast to center field - a play which resulted in Clinton Manager Scott Steinmann being ejected for the second time this season.
The LumberKings failed to draw a walk for the third straight game. Clinton hasn't walked since the fifth inning Monday night against Chris Perry of the Peoria Chiefs.
Campbell (2-3) allowed three earned runs, scattering four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out two but suffered his second consecutive loss. Blackburn (5-1) gave up just four hits - all singles - and struck out six. The 20-year-old has given up just seven earned runs over his last 40.1 innings pitched - a 1.56 ERA - spanning seven starts.
Vieira's string of 10.1 scoreless relief innings was snapped in his first inning of work in the seventh. Corey Simpson was the only LumberKings player to record a multi-hit game, going 2-for-4.
Clinton (24-21) continues their three-game set with Kane County (31-16), the middle game tomorrow night beginning at 6:30 PM CT from Fifth Third Bank Ballpark. Right-hander Carlos Misell (5-2, 3.13) gets the nod for the L'Kings and right-hander Tyler Skulina (2-1, 3.19) will start for the MWL Western Division-leading Cougars. The meeting is the second of nine first-half matchups between the two teams. The game can be heard on WCCI 100.3 FM, wcciradio.com, and lumberkings.com.

"I Posed for Playboy" was a made for TV movie about three normal women who wind up posing for Playboy. It really wasn't all that good a movie, and what made it more disappointing was
the fact that there was no nudity. However, luckily enough, Michele did have several underwear shots that were pretty sexy. Enjoy!

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The epitome of hole-in-the-wall dining, Bo De Tinh Tam Chay is little more than a warming station and an open-seating area in a hidden Vietnamese shopping plaza. If you're all about the ambiance, chances are you'll walk out of this place just as quickly as you walked in, but the superficial shall never attain enlightenment! Yeah, the place could use a little sprucing up, but it accomplishes the task of providing a space for people to brush up on their Eastern religion—free Buddhist literature, paraphernalia and cassette tapes containing hours of meditative chants—while they dine on cruelty-free cuisine (mind you, Buddhist vegetarian diets allow dairy, but not eggs). The crispy-fried pho and egg-noodle soup with mock duck are scrumptious enough to win over even the most fervent animal eaters. You can get just about anything on the menu for $7 or less, and the service is efficient and friendly, so you don't even have to bother with sticking around if slumming it just ain't your thang. $$
If your own-of-town guests are keen on experiencing quintessential Orange County, take them to the Beachcomber. Here, they'll marvel at a prototypical OC scene: brunching trophy wives toasting one another on snatching deep-pocketed sugar daddies. Oh, the view of the beach is nice, too; reservations for the summer season are booked fast. What surrounds the beachside shack eatery is a post card come to life. The food is hardly the point. But if it is true that a hot dog eaten at the Grand Canyon tastes as good as a steak, the same concept applies here. The sunsets, the idyllic beach huts and the crashing surf cresting on sand just steps from the entrance are seasonings more essential than salt. $$
Dropped daintily on Pacific Coast Highway above Newport Bay is SOL Cocina, an elegant establishment dedicated to bringing the flavors of Baja to Orange County. But this is cuisine with a conscience. The environmentally friendly menu boasts low-fat, healthy items, and almost everything is gluten-free. The chefs use only sustainable fish and humanely raised beef and pork—and many dishes can be made vegetarian or even vegan. Try one of their exquisitely crafted margaritas (we love the cucumber jalapeño), any of about a dozen different salsas and definitely the taco vampiro. Snag a seat at one of the copper tables on the patio for a luxurious view of the boats, docks and houses you'll never afford. We recommend going at sunset, when the water turns as gold as the tequila in your glass. $$$
What haven't we said about Dave Emery that hasn't already been said? The man is an all-around crazy person—and we mean that with the utmost respect. He insists on making everything he serves at Sol Del Sur Bistro from scratch and doing it all himself, with no assistance from a sous chef or even a dishwasher. All evidence suggests he is self-taught and loves to cook just as most people like to breathe. He has working knowledge of Italian, Japanese, French and Spanish cuisines, gleaned from his travels and bolstered by the undying curiosity of a child. The menu he attempts is formidable and frenetic. When the small room he calls a restaurant is even half-full, he can be easily overwhelmed with orders. He creates a list of a dozen or so appetizers, traipsing borders and using uncommon ingredients, such as crosnes, aji amarillo and uni. His entrées are bold, complex and, at times, beguiling. As of this writing, he is serving grilled strawberries with lamb shanks braised in lavender and honey; by the time you read this, though, that dish will be history. Emery is never satisfied: He thinks of new ways to challenge himself and his customers; and he's been known to introduce a new dish one night and jettison it the next. Don't even try to convince him to edit his menu down or ask him to be less ambitious. We like our mad scientist just the way he is. $$$
Former Haven Gastropub partner Jeff Hall throws down the gauntlet with Chapter One, a challenge to not only his former colleagues, but also his neighbors at Santa Ana's burgeoning restaurant scene. The bar pours old-man drinks with equal jiggers of expertise and knowledge of the mixological arts. It's also up-to-date on the local beers. Meanwhile, chef Oge Dalken, a culinary raconteur in a city full of them, brings humor and lightness to dishes that are as fun to eat as they are to order. A beef culotte inspires other chefs to do better with bacon-wrapped steaks. And for a dessert called "Milk & Cereal," the breakfast food of our youths is deconstructed and reinterpreted: Panna cotta becomes the milk, and crispy Greek kataifi plays cereal. You have to order it to get the joke and realize that the culinary punch line is as delicious as the setup. $$
Old Vine is no stranger to these pages, having won Best Restaurant in 2009—and it has broadened its ambitions since then, hosting wine nights and even leading culinary tours of Italy. But the attention of brothers Mark and Brandon McDonald to the homefront hasn't suffered: You still see Brandon every morning through night, guiding customers old and new through the menu, maybe suggesting an omelet or the seasonal four-course chef's menu, and with a memory of the café's hundreds of wines that borders on That's Incredible! territory. Mark is almost as present on the floor, even though he's manning the kitchen, trading jokes with customers and making sure their experiences are always spectacular. Such attention to detail doesn't come out of economic survival or even hipster irony, but rather the McDonalds' honest-to-goodness enthusiasm for great food. They are redeeming their surname in the food industry. $$$

If you go to http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascriptexample.html, you'll find a site that tests regular expressions (regex).
At this site, http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/re3.shtml, you'll find a tutor for regex. Now take the code and string from this page and insert them into the above page; there will be no matches.
For example, insert match(/\d+/g) or (/\d+/g) into the Regexp: field and enter the following into the Subject string: field: Peter has 8 dollars and Jane has 15
There will be no matches. Shouldn't the match be 3044345454 as it says on the javascriptkit.com site?
I am trying to replace double-quotes with nothing (remove double quotes from a string), and was confused when the above kept returning no matches.string = string.replace([\"]/g, "")
The regular expression is not match(/\d+/g) or even (/\d+/g)The regular expression is not even /\d+/g
The regular expression is \d+
The /.../ forward slashes are used to delimit a regular expression, in a similar way that single or double quotes are used to delimit strings.The g on the end is a flag, that specifies that the regular expression should be applied globally across the entire string.

Lice Rx Review By Mothers
Head lice is a devastating condition that can turn a household completely upside down. This is especially true if you have children that attend any type of educational facility outside the home. My neighbour has four children – two that attend school outside the home, one that is homeschooled, and one baby.
Recently, she faced the complication of being called by the school that two of her sons attend only to be told that they had been found to have head lice. She was also informed that many other children from the class also had head lice.
She was a bit perplexed, confused, and even worried all at the same time! She really had never faced this complication and really did not know what to do to handle it.
We immediately began to research head lice products online to determine which would be the best course of treatment. Knowing that an online remedy would take at least a couple of days to arrive, she went to the local Wal-Mart and purchased the "Equate" head lice treatment to get a head start on the treatment of her children and her home.
In the meantime, I discovered a product called Lice Rx online, and went ahead and ordered her this product. When the product arrived, I went to help her with her little "problem". She was very glad that I had ordered the product because the school had contacted her again to let her know that the problem had not been completely eliminated.
She was completely embarrassed, and a little frustrated with the "Equate" Wal-Mart brand head lice treatment that she had purchased.
She was up late into the night with the Equate treatment, treating all of the kids, her bedding, her furniture – it drained her completely – and then, to find out that it had not worked, it devastated her! She has kids ranging from eleven months old to thirteen years old – she is tired enough as it is. Then, time and money are two things that she just does not have to waste!
Lice Rx Review ~ The Problem:
The problem with many lice treatments is that they just do not use the right mixture of chemicals that are necessary to successfully eliminate head lice.
This means, that children, parents, families, and even schools experience a high level of frustration when it comes to trying to successfully eliminate head lice. Many families have gone through the process of treating kids, adults, and the home several times!
The simple fact is, most families that have school age children have more than one child and most of these families have a limited income. When it comes to purchasing head lice treatments for an entire family, the bedding, and other areas of the home, it is quite possible to spend $100 a pop!
Lice Rx Review ~ Product Introduction:
Lice Rx is a type of treatment that has been tested and evaluated by several different families and school districts.
While there are many different head lice treatments out there like Equate, RID, Pronto, NIX, and many others, Lice Rx remains a bit different because of the fact that harmful poisons are not used as part of the chemical makeup of the treatment. The other products use dangerous substances, like "Pyrethrins" in their products.
While this substance may prove to be somewhat effective in eliminating head lice, it can actually prove to be quite harmful to the skin, sinuses, and overall health of the individuals using it, or even exposed to it. In addition to not containing harmful chemicals, Lice Rx is sold in a concentrated formula that can be used up to three times or more! Best of all, it is effective!
Lice Rx Review ~ Benefits and Features:
I found that there are a number of benefits and features associated with Lice Rx. The first benefit to using this product is that it is effective! My neighbour saw that when she used this product immediately after implementing the use of Equate Head Lice treatment.
The next advantage to using this particular product is something I have already mentioned, and that is the fact that this is an all natural treatment for head lice that does not implement the use of dangerous chemicals. The next advantage is that you will typically pay less for Lice Rx than you will for other products that are sold in stores for head lice.
Lice Rx Review Conclusion:
Lice Rx works…this is the whole purpose and intent behind this product review. Once my neighbour applied this in her situation, she never received an embarrassing phone call from the schools that her attended ever again!
While the only other product that she used was this Equate Head Lice treatment, it was not a success.
However, once her product of Lice Rx arrived, and she used it on her children, her and her husband, as well as various things in the home, she successfully eliminated all traces of head lice! It is my confidence that anyone who uses this product will have the same success.
Well worth a trry, Lice Rx

Baldwin Township has been named the recipient of a substantial grant that will help pave the future of its treasured Young Park.
The St. Paul-based Otto Bremer Foundation has awarded the township a $25,000 grant that will be used to install three handicapped-accessible boardwalks over the wetland areas of Young Park that will allow the trail system throughout the park to be completed.
"We are very fortunate to have received this grant," said Tom Rush, vice-chairman of the Baldwin Town Board and the board's point man on the township's park issues.
The grant will make possible the installation of the boardwalks in three sections of the park, Rush said. In-kind donations from area businesses and Baldwin Township residents will be called upon to further supplement the project, he said.
"Once completed, people will easily be able to use the trail system to walk around the entire 80-acre park," Rush said.
The boardwalks will be a little over 500 feet, total, Rush said.
In its grant application, Baldwin officials wrote that township leaders are focused on improving the quality of life and expanding opportunities for its residents through growth. That goes hand-in-hand with the vision of the Otto Bremer Foundation, that states that it makes a priority of moving communities forward in meaningful, powerful and broad-based ways.
The man who donated the park land to Baldwin Township, the late Kermit Young, made his gracious donation with a vision of a park that would be a place where future generations could congregate for events, stay active, and enjoy nature's gifts. The township has come a long way in the past year in making Young's vision a reality through a strong collaboration between township leadership and a strong base of community volunteers. The Otto Bremer grant will bring that hard work to the next level.
The township still hopes to be the recipient of a $2,500 grant from the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe that will further complete the vision of Kermit Young, Rush said.
The total cost of the proposed Young Park improvements is $226,954, according to the grant application submitted to the Otto Bremer Foundation.
Now in the final phase of a three-phase project, the township, park board and volunteers are focusing on accessibility aspects of the park.
Phase I included developing the basic infrastructure of the park. Much of this work was completed in 2011, including the installation of a parking lot and installation of playground equipment. Another Phase I goal was to plant a rain garden on the property. With the helping hands of the Sherburne County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), township leadership and community volunteers, that project was completed just last Saturday.
Phase II includes restoring 32 acres of natural habitat. The SWCD took the lead on this project, which included employing invasive species control techniques, planting new native prairie grasses and enhancing the park's oak woodlands.
Phase III is where the Otto Bremer grant comes in. The goal is to make the 1.3-mile trail system visible and accessible to people of all ages and physical abilities.
Proposed projects include adding a shaded park pavilion that will accommodate community events and provide seating, adding crushed granite to the trails to ensure a firm trail surface, constructing the three handicapped-accessible boardwalks to bridge the wetlands to a center island on the property, and install park welcome signage.
Baldwin Township also envisions adding a sandlot baseball field at the park, Rush said.

Guidelines show how to portray disability with respect and integrity
Journalists, public speakers, human service providers, educators and other communicators play a critical role in changing attitudes toward disability. This is not political correctness but a fundamental responsibility to communicate a straightforward image of people with disabilities or those with chronic health conditions.
Since 1984 the Research and Training Center on Independent Living (RTC/IL) has distributed more than 1 million copies of its groundbreaking style sheet, Guidelines: How to Write and Report About People with Disabilities.
The eighth edition of the Guidelines is now available, along with a poster called "Your Words, Our Image" which lists negative and positive terminology for describing people with disabilities – a quick reference useful for public display or in offices and classrooms.
With its succinct explanation of person-first language, the brochure has become the gold standard for describing disability issues in a way that does not perpetuate perceptions that can lead to discrimination.
Developed with input from more than 100 national disability groups, the guidelines have been adopted by the Associated Press and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and are referenced in the American Psychological Association's Publications Manual 6th Edition.
"How authors, scientists and reporters write and report on people with disabilities has great influence on society's perceptions of this oft-forgotten demographic population," says Glen W. White, RTC/IL director. "'Your Words, Our Image is more than a slogan. It's a call to responsible and accurate portrayal that does not objectify or treat people with disabilities as mere human-interest stories. Rather, it focuses on the humanity of the individual and the fact that the experience of disability is a natural part of being human."

GREAT NEWS. Front Page Story On Rhinelander Shorty In Monroe Times Newspaper
A Shorty throwback
Minhas brings back Rhinelander lager in smaller bottle
Tere Dunlap
Times photo: Anthony Wahl — Double stacked in the coolers at Monroe Beverage Mart, Shorty bottles of Rhinelander Export Beer take their place among other brews produced at Minhas Craft Brewery, Monroe.
Times photo: Anthony Wahl — Scott Klarer, salesman at Monroe Beverage Mart in Monroe, stacks a display of Rhinelander Export Beer in its new 7-ounce bottles, affectionately named Shorty. Minhas Craft Brewery now produces and bottles the beer for Rhinelander Brewing Company.
Minhas brings back Rhinelander lager in smaller bottle
MONROE - Monroe is getting re-acquainted with Shorty, a stubby, 7-ounce bottle of Rhinelander Export Beer.
Minhas Craft Brewery re-released the American lager June 1, after a two-year hiatus since last offering the brew.
Sales of the beer have been doing "pretty well" at Monroe Beverage Mart, thanks to customers buying it partly for its taste and partly for the reminiscence of an by-gone era, said Scott Klarer, salesman.
"We sampled it on Friday, and (people) liked it really well," he said. "And the price is right."
Twenty to 30 cases, selling at $11.49 per case or $3.49 a 6-pack, have gone out the Beverage Mart's door in the past three weeks, according to Klarer. Rhinelander Brewing Company, for which Minhas is producing the beer, notes on its website that the beer is also available locally at Pancho and Lefty's, the French Quarter, and the Jailhouse Tap in Monroe.
Minhas President Gary Olson said production is entering its third run this week. The first two runs each produced 4,000 cases. Today, 5,000 cases were expected to come off the line. "This is an experiment in acceptance," Olson said Tuesday. "It got its best reception in (the city of) Rhinelander. It's selling like hotcakes up there."
Shorty is being distributed only in Wisconsin right now, but Olson said he has had inquiries from Minnesota and Pennsylvania distributors.
The beer actually has a long history. Rhinelander Brewery produced Rhinelander Export Lager at its brewery on Ocala Street in Rhinelander from 1882 until 1967, when the company closed.
The Joseph Huber Brewery Company of Monroe (now Minhas) acquired the brands and bought the rights to Rhinelander beer. Rhinelander beer continued to be made, though the shorty bottle disappeared in the late 1970s. Minhas sold the brew in returnable 12-ounce bottles until 2003 and then in 12-ounce cans until 2009.
Jyoti Auluck, president and owner of Rhinelander Brewing Company, purchased the Rhinelander family of beers from Minhas in 2009.
Minhas recently contracted with Auluck, a native of Calgary, Alberta, to bring back Rhinelander Export Shorty.
Bottling the beer in its smaller bottles presented Minhas with some challenges. Minhas had to install a different filler and capper and modify the labeler to package the unusually short bottle.
After more than two years of work, acquiring the needed capital, finding the right bottles, designing a retro label, and perfecting the recipe to create the taste of the original Rhinelander Shorty beer, the new Rhinelander Export Lager Shorty is similar to the original 1940s beer.
Olson has described the flavor as crisp and light-bodied, with a light hoppiness. The beer takes about three weeks to make, and its alcohol content is about 5 percent alcohol by volume.
Shorty returns to Rhinelander
By Andrew Hildebrand
River News Staff
It was standing room only at the Claridge by 5 p.m. last Wednesday. Nostalgia was thick in the air as the crowd sat, talked and ate. Baseball was on the televisions above the bar, but Duke Snider or Mickey Mantle would have fit the scene better than Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder. It may be 2011, but for one night it felt like 1961, all thanks to the little 7-ounce bottle.
The Rhinelander Brewery, which was founded in partnership by Oto Hilgermann and Henry Danner in 1882, aggressively advertised their miniature "Shorty" bottle and the brand became a local staple. But in 1967, the brewery on Ocala Street shut its doors for good. The Joseph Huber Brewing Company bought the rights to Rhinelander beer, changed the recipe, and the Shorty was gone. But as it turns out, it wasn't gone for good.
In 2009, Jyoti Auluck purchased the rights to Rhinelander beer and began taking steps to reintroduce the Shorty with an emphasis on the Rhinelander area. After extensive planning and small technical delays, the 7-ouncer is back and Auluck is happy with the results so far. "I've had people call and tell me how fantastic it tastes," she said. "Someone told me that when they had their first sip it was the same taste he still remembered."
That was certainly the consensus at the Claridge Wednesday night when the Rhinelander Brewing Company hosted the "Welcome Back Shorty" open house. But remembering the old Shorty isn't a requirement to enjoy the new one.
Recent college graduate John Zenk, 22, attended the open house. "I love it," he said. "I think the taste is great. It's light and refreshing. It's already one of my favorite beers."
The "Shorty" is now available everywhere in Rhinelander and sales are starting to pick up. The House of Spirits said they were selling a good number of Shortys and at the open house, the Claridge sold close to 600. In fact, they're selling so well that many places are already experiencing a shortage. General Manager of Rhinelander Brewing Company, Dennis Rego described the shortage as a "good problem." "We are selling the Shortys faster than we ever though we would," he said.
Auluck isn't stopping there, however. She plans to market the brand aggressively and aims to make them available in Minnesota and Illinois soon. She also wants to export the beer to her home country of Canada and is working on selling them in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in the near future.
A brand new brewery based in Rhinelander is in her future plans as well, but she needs to see the brand take off first. "I'm looking at about five years," she said. "I need to sell about 30,000 barrels a year to see the kind of profit I would need to build the brewery."
She also owns the rights to the Rhinelander Light brand, but says she has no plans to recreate it.
"Just the export," she said. "It's light enough."

Dear Rhinelander Brewery,
Last week I noticed the Rhinelander 7 oz. Shorty on the beer menu at The Old Fashioned Restaurant here in Madison. I had never heard of the thing, and being a beer enthusiast and an amateur home-brewer myself, I decided to give ol' Shorty a shot.
Let me tell you I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS BEER!
Not just the taste, but also the look and feel: that quaint little bottle and antique label represent everything that I've come to love about Wisconsin. It's one fine brew.
Thanks for bringing back the Shorty!

'Shorty' is back in town

Rhinelander Brewing Company President/Owner Jyoti Auluck, left, and Rhinelander Mayor Dick Johns toast with "Shorty" bottles of Rhinelander Export Beer during the official unveiling party for the new product Wedneseday evening at the Claridge Clubhouse.
Jyoti Auluck was having trouble holding back her smile Wednesday as a dream more than two years in the making came much closer to fruition. Auluck, the President/ Owner of Rhinelander Brewing Company, served as the Master of Ceremonies for a party unveiling her company's Rhinelander Export Lager "Shorty" (7 oz) bottle back to the open market.
According to Auluck, the project took more than two years of hard and often frustrating work to complete requiring a sizeable capital investment, including creating brand new molds for the Shorty style bottle,creating a retro label design, equipping Monroe-based Minhas Craft Brewery to package the unusually shaped Shorty bottle, and most importantly, working diligently to perfecting the recipe and creating the taste of the original Rhinelander Shorty beer.
"Really all we had to start with was the name," said Auluck. "We pretty much had to create everything else from scratch." Auluck, who has a background in finance and retail beverage sales, said she decided to purchase the historic Rhinelander brand due to its untapped potential in the beer market. She said that while the sagging economy has hindered business expansion, the recent popularity of "Retro brews" such as Schlitz and Pabst Blue Ribbon has positioned Rhinelander's namesake brew to once again go toe-to-toe with the products that were once its major competitors.
"Retro brands are making a huge comeback in the beer market right now," said Auluck. "The older generations want to remember the beers that they drank when they were younger, and the younger generations are looking for something different. I'm very optimistic about the future of this brand." Auluck said she plans to actively promote and market the Rhinelander brand, and hopes to increase sales volume to the point where opening a Rhinelander Brewing Company brewery in the city will make sense.
"We need to brew 30,000 barrels annually to justify building a brewery in Rhinelander," explained Auluck. "Right now we are at 4,000 barrels, but that number is increasing every day. I truly believe that this brand has the potential to produce those numbers, and we'll be breaking ground on a brewery within the next few years."
According to Auluck, the initial response throughout Wisconsin has been nothing short of amazing. She said almost every retail store and tavern in and around Rhinelander is selling the Rhinelander Shorty Export Lager. In fact, the first batch out of production sold out in a matter of weeks, with the second batch hitting store shelves last week. "People have just loved the product so far," said Auluck. "We were very careful to use the original recipe that people remember from when it was brewed in Rhinelander."
While the Shorty is new to the market, Auluck has been marketing kegs of Rhinelander Export Lager for the past year. There have already been more than 100 placements of the beer in Madison, Milwaukee and other parts of the state of Wisconsin, with orders received from as far as Auluck's home country, Canada. Auluck recently hired a marketing manager, Brenda O'Rourke, who will be working out of an office located at 59 South Brown St. in downtown Rhinelander.
"I feel that it is very important that Rhinelander Export Lager have a presence in the city," said Auluck. "If we are going to succeed in launching this brand worldwide, everyone in Rhinelander will have to take pride in it." While Rhinelander Beer has always been on the market, it hasn't been produced in Rhinelander since the historic Rhinelander Brewery closed its Ocala Road plant in 1967, following a 85 year run. The Joseph Huber Brewing Company purchased the Rhinelander brands as well as their recipes, which they soon changed. Despite a precipitous drop in sales volume, the beer has been continuously produced in Monroe for the last 42 years.
Rhinelander: Tuesday, May 31, 2011: The beer that started the entire stubby beer bottle craze is back! Rhinelander Export Lager in a Shorty (7 oz) bottle is back on the market, The project took 2 years to complete requiring a sizeable capital investment, including creating brand new molds for the Shorty style bottle, creating a retro label design, equipping the Brewery to package the unusually shaped Shorty bottle and most importantly, working diligently to perfect the recipe and creating the taste of the original Rhinelander Shorty beer.
The Rhinelander Shorty launch is taking place in Rhinelander on Wednesday, June 1, 2011. Festivities planned include a noon hour business address by the President of the Rhinelander Brewing Company, a ribbon cutting ceremony at 4 PM as well as a special launch party in the evening at the Best Western Claridge Hotel titled "Welcome Home Shorty Party". Even the famous Rhinelander Shorty Baseball Team Uniform from the 40's is expected to show up at the events! This party has been 40 years in the making since the sale of the Rhinelander Shorty was halted.
The initial response throughout Wisconsin has been nothing short of amazing. Almost every retail store and bar in and around Rhinelander is selling the Rhinelander Shorty Export Lager. In fact, the first batch of production is already sold out. The second batch is being packaged on May 31, with a strong media presence recording the event. There has already been more than 100 placements of Rhienlander Shorty in Madison, Rhinelander and other parts of the state of Wisconsin. Orders have also been received from as far as Canada – particularly Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, where the Rhinelander Shorty will be available within the next 3 weeks – as soon the next batch can be produced to meet the surging demand for the beer and when the Government approvals for Rhinelander Shorty in Canada have been obtained.
With the summer beer season upon us, we are reminded of an anonymous Czech proverb "A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure." The Shorty is sure to fit the bill and satisfy the demanding and knowledgeable beer drinker.
BACKGROUND: The historic Rhinelander Brewery produced Rhinelander Export Lager at its brewery located at 1 Ocola Road in Rhinelander from 1882 to 1967 when it was closed, just like hundreds of Breweries closed with the advent of multi national mega breweries. For many decades, Rhinelander Shorty was one of the most successful reginal brands sold in the Midwest including Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and of course, Wisconsin.

Rhinelander Shorty's are now available at these retail outlets:
Rhinelander is also available at these fine establishments:
Shorty's return draws nearer
Beer that made 7-ounce bottles famous will bring them back
If you are thirsty for the return of the old Rhinelander Beer "Shorty" you'll just have to hang on a little bit longer.
The president of the Rhinelander Brewing Company, which had acquired the Rhinelander and Rhinelander Light Beer brands in October 2009, had hoped to have the "Shorty" bottles of the Rhinelander beer rushing off the assembly line by now, but technical problems in the bottling system have caused a delay.
"We've got the beer, we've got the Shorty bottles, but we have to work out the kinks in the bottling and assembly line system," said Rhinelander Brewing Company President Jyoti Auluck. "The 7-ounce Shorty bottles are much different than the typical other bottles that are used for other beers so we have to adapt equipment and technology to fill, cap and move the bottles down the assembly line. It's just taking us a little more time than we had expected."
The beer will be initially brewed and packaged at the Minhas Craft Brewery in Monroe, but it's hoped once sales for the return of the Rhinelander brand increase that a brewing operation will be built again in Rhinelander.
Auluck said it's been her dream to launch a successful comeback of the long-time local favorite beer.
Before the comeback could be launched many actions had to be completed behind the scenes. That included developing packaging, the labeling for the bottles and the creation of thousands of the 7-ounce Shorty bottles that had disappeared long ago and needed to be recreated.
Rhinelander Lager and Rhinelander Light brands were long produced at the famous and historic Rhinelander Brewery on Ocala Street in Rhinelander, which opened under the business partnership of Otto Hilgermann and Henry Danner in 1882.
Financial difficulties finally led to the brewery's closing in 1967.
That same year, the Joseph Huber Brewing Company purchased the Rhinelander brands as well as their recipes and other assets and immediately started producing them in Monroe, where they have been brewed for the last 42 years.
Auluck, who has an accounting background and extensive experience in the retail beverage industry, feels the historic Rhinelander brand has a lot of untapped potential.
She plans to actively promote and market the Rhinelander brand and hopes to increase sales volume back to what it was in its heyday.
At its peak, the Rhinelander Brewery had an annual capacity of 40,000 barrels.
"For a beer that isn't even marketed, it still has market share," Auluck said of the Rhinelander brand. "It has history and it still has legs of its own. It is just working on its own, and I like that about it."
When Rhinelander was still brewed in its hometown, it enjoyed a loyal following among local drinkers in much the same way local sports teams enjoy the loyalty of hometown fans. Auluck said re-establishing the brand in its namesake city will be a key component of its future success.
"It's important to start it here because it has history here. It's a home brand," she said. "I want to get it back in the hometown."
The Rhinelander Brewery was once among the most prominent local breweries in the country. At a time when small breweries dotted the landscape, Rhinelander stood out with its aggressive marketing and inventiveness. The company patented the 7-ounce "Shorty" bottle and advertised the product heavily, with great success.
Rhinelander Brewing Company has an office located at 59 South Brown Street in downtown Rhinelander. The offices are empty at this time, but the location is expected to see plenty of activity once Rhinelander Beer returns to the market. Currently all business related to the reintroduction of the beer is being conducted out of the brewery in Monroe.
Minhas Craft Brewery puts in a tall order for Rhinelander Shorty bottles
Seven-ounce servings to be released by Monroe-based brewer
By Robin Shepard
Rhinelander "Shorty" bottles haven't been available on local for nearly three decades, but the Monroe-based Minhas Craft Brewery is bringing them back this summer, hoping to find success in the trend toward nostalgia among younger beer drinkers. The 7-ounce bottles actually had the word "Shorty" stamped on the neck.
"They were the most popular Rhinelander product," says Minhas president Gary Olson. The brand was so popular in the 1940s that one of the town's local baseball teams went by the name Rhinelander Shorties.
Minhas recently contracted with the brand's owner, Jyoti Auluck, a native of Calgary, Alberta, to help bring back Rhinelander Export in these distinctive small bottles. Auluck purchased the Rhinelander family of beers from Minhas in 2009. She has since opened a downtown Rhinelander office while working to reintroduce Rhinelander Export and Light.
"After looking at beer trends and retro brands, I thought it would be great to bring back the beer that started the entire stubby bottle," says Auluck. A few of the other well-known Wisconsin breweries that used the 7-ounce bottles in the 1940s included former breweries like Fauerbach in Madison, Fox Head in Waukesha, and Walter's in Eau Claire, which bottled "Little Wallies."
Rhinelander beer was made in its namesake city of central Wisconsin. The brewery operated from 1882 to 1967, with the exception of a major fire in the 1890s and during Prohibition. At its peak, the brewery turned out about 40,000 barrels annually.
Rhinelander Shorty was introduced by the brewery in 1940 with a provocative ad campaign that called attention to its arrival via the birth announcements in the society pages of the local newspaper. For several weeks, Rhinelander society was captivated over who might be the unnamed father of little Shorty. By the time the brewery revealed that it was the father and mother, and little Shorty was a beer, the community was buzzing (so to speak).
In the 1960s, industry competition and consolidation contributed to the brewery's closure, and the Joseph Huber Brewery of Monroe (now Minhas) acquired the brands. It kept the beer, even Shorty, in production. Olson believes the last time the smaller bottles were used for Rhinelander beer was in the late 1970s.
Despite abandoning the 7-ounce bottles, Monroe Brewery (and later Minhas) continued making Rhinelander beer until just a few years ago. As recently as 2003, the brewery was offering it in returnable 12-ounce bottles. It even made a brief appearance in 12-ounce cans in 2009.
Olson says the new Rhinelander Export, to be re-released in short stubby bottles, is based on the original 1940s beer, which he describes as a crisp, light-bodied, American lager with yellow-golden color and light hoppiness. The beer takes about three weeks to make, and its alcohol content ends up at around 5% ABV. The term "export" was traditionally applied to strong beers that were intended to be shipped, and in some countries, like Germany, use of the term designated how it was to be taxed.
Rhinelander Shorty will initially be available in 24-bottle cases. Depending on the success of this reintroduction, Minhas may then package it in even more distinctive eight-bottle cartons.
Such small bottles present more than just a small challenge for Olson. Minhas has had to install a different filler and capper and modify the labeler, all of which has slowed the brewery's release plans by several months. Finding the right bottles was also no small task. Olson approached U.S. companies as well as manufacturers as far away as Trinidad and Egypt before finding what he needed through connections in China. The original bottle shape and painted label are different from the new Rhinelander Shorty, which is affixed with an old-school paper label.
Pabst Blue Ribbon and Schlitz, with their retro-focused marketing campaigns, seem to have found a following with younger drinkers over the last decade that has allowed them to avoid beer extinction. Auluck is betting on the same excitement over her new Rhinelander Shorty. She even has a goal of building her own brewery in Rhinelander by 2014.
Rhinelander Shorty is expected on Madison shelves in June and will sell for $14-$15 per case. General Beverage of Madison will handle local distribution.

The 6-foot-6, 237-pound gun-slinger was supposed to get to Austin around mid-day on Friday but plane troubles forced him and his father to rent a car and drive from Dallas to Austin.
That usual three-hour trip turned into a five-hour patience-tester because, well, it was a Friday on Interstate-35 (ugh). So when Gentry arrived in front of the Moncreif-Neuhaus Athletic Center he practically sped walk to the entrance to get going.
Once he was under the light of DKR you could tell that the stresses' of travel were all worth it.
Gentry was one of the more physically imposing players on the field, which included several members of Texas' 2014 football team that were there helping the staff.
He moved incredibly well for someone his size and didn't seem to feel overwhelmed by the experience at all. If anything, he thrived.
"It was an awesome experience," he said. "The atmosphere was awesome, the coaches were upbeat and positive. The stadium was awesome. It was really beneficial for me traveling down there."
From as early on as group stretching, you could tell that Gentry and the Johnson brothers – Kirk and Collin, both UT commitments – had created a special bond.
He and Collin lined up next to each other during stretching and clicked in drills too. That foundation was set months ago when Gentry took an unofficial visit to Texas, which was actually when he really realized that Austin was where he wanted to go to school.
"I met the Johnson brothers on my unofficial before I committed here," Gentry said. "Their dad, Johnny [Johnson], is a legend here. Those are some of the guys that influenced my decision and brought me this way. I've been growing all the other players also."
One of the more interesting dynamics we were looking forward to seeing unfold was how Gentry and fellow four-star QB Kai Locksley (Baltimore, MD/Gilman) got along. Locksley has made no secret that he's a fan of Texas' and even has UT in his top three.
As it turns out, as Locksley told HD prior to the camp, the two actually played AAU basketball together and have a good friendship.
Gentry said he was going to stay strongly committed to the Longhorns regardless of what Locksley ends up doing.
"It's whatever the coaches want to do," Gentry said. "I'm a solid commit. I really love Texas and the coaching staff with the philosophy they bring. If they want to bring somebody else in, that's fine."
Gentry really seemed to own the stage. He's not an outwardly emotional character but he definitely has some swag to him that shined on Friday. That partially could have been because it was his first time working out at UT as a Texas commitment.
"It was definitely a different mindset then going in there to the other camps trying to compete for an offer and trying to get noticed," he said. "It was more like 'I'm the guy, the Texas quarterback' and just trying to impress the coaches and get better myself."
How'd he think he did?
"I think I did alright. It was a little different adjusting to the speed of some of the four and five-star receivers out here," Gentry said. "I think I did alright and adjusted easily."
He seemed to work effortlessly with quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson, who he really began to admire when Watson recruited him at Louisville.
"I don't think there was anything odd [drill-wise that I did with Watson]," he said. "Most of the stuff I do with Coach Watson I did at Louisville. He does a lot of repetition stuff that is beneficial to quarterbacks when they are in the pocket."
Gentry didn't single out a specific receiver that stood out to him, but he did single out a specific part of his game that he feels will surprise UT fans.
"One thing I'll say is I move a lot better than a lot of people realize," he said. "I recently was officially clocked at a 4.6-flat in the 40. I'm a lot shiftier than a lot of guys think."
Gentry was definitely in his element inside DKR. He certainly didn't seem to be bogged down by the pressures of being a UT QB commitment, but those pressures are undeniably there especially to get like-minded recruits to join him.
"I think there is a decent amount of pressure," he said. "A lot of people do their recruiting over Twitter and I do a lot of mine behind-the-scenes, texting. I don' t like to put it out publicly. I like to have personal conversations with them. So I've taken on that responsibility."

I don't like most guys, but… I am not interested in most guys and besides perhaps thats what makes those few unique individuals that I do connect with all more special. I can be - restless, analytical, and opinionated. I am not offended by a dirty joke and can dish out one of my own.
I am independent but far from being a feminist. Sarcasm is a spice of life, so bring it on.
I enjoy my friends and family, they are very important in my life. I like going out and staying active in my community and enjoying all things that life has to offer. I love the hot weather and enjoy spending time at the beach. I like going out & having a few drinks with friends. A night in is great too, especially if someone wants to cook for me.
I love to travel and will do it on a moments notice. I have traveled to many places around the world. I have no baggage, no kids, and no pets. Please don't be afraid to fly or be willing to medicate yourself to go… ha ha…
I try to get to the gym regularly, but I'm not a gym rat and my body will show that. Although I do like to keep myself looking good and I think that if you look good, usually you feel good. Caring about your appearance means you'll extend the care you take of yourself to others. Plus it show good character to take care of yourself, both inside and out.
I enjoy sports as well; I like football the best though… so if you are willing to take me to a Patriots game that would be great.
These may seem to very different careers, but they work for me and I love the diversity.
What I wish people would notice first, is who I am, my personality, but I know that takes time. I guess I'm impatient....
I like all kinds of music from the lastest hits to Dean Martin.
Friends & Family
Diet Coke
I'm willing to share once I get to know someone....
So if you are a guy who can easily take it from work to the beach, is willing to make plans on the weekend, including just spending time together, and likes to hang out with friends and family send me a note.
What's your story? What are your greatest pet-peeves and what makes you weak in your knees from joy and happiness."

Natasha Richardson suffers critical head injury from ski accident
16 March 2009 — Mont-Tremblant, Quebec
MONTREAL — Britain's Press Association news agency quotes Sacre-Coeur Hospital in Montreal as saying British actress and Millbrook resident Natasha Richardson, critically injured in a skiing accident, is on a flight to the United States.
The report didn't say where in the U.S. the flight was headed.
"According to the family's press agent, the lady has left Canada around 12:30 today," said Michelle Simard of the Sacre-Coeur hospital in a recorded message. "We have no information on Ms. Richardson's health condition, but the family should give more information by tomorrow."
Richardson was hospitalized after falling on a beginners trail at the famed Mont Tremblant ski resort during a lesson, the resort and published reports said Tuesday.
People.com and IrishCentral.com reported that the Tony Award-winning actress and wife of actor Liam Neeson was in critical condition with a head injury.
"She had major success on Broadway, she's part of a very impressive acting family that spans the Atlantic," said Dutchess County resident Thelma Adams, film and DVD critic for Us Weekly. "She's been in a lot of movies — she's beautiful."
Richardson, 45, is the elder daughter of Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave and the late director Tony Richardson, and belongs to a British acting dynasty.
Producers confirmed that Neeson immediately left the Toronto set of his upcoming movie, "Chloe," for Montreal, a publicist for the film said in an e-mail.
People.com said Richardson was initially taken to a hospital near the luxury Mont Tremblant ski resort in Quebec, and was later transferred to the Montreal hospital.
A family member confirmed Richardson had had a skiing accident.
"We know that she has had an accident but we really do not know any more details," said Kika Markham, who is married to Richardson's uncle, Corin Redgrave. "We are very concerned."
Rev. James O'Connor, pastor of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Millbrook, said Neeson, Richardson and their two young sons are members of the parish.

The Unfamiliar Passions of God
Gary Haugen
| Before addressing the students, Gary gave a slide presentation describing the oppression and abuse of three young people: Shama, David and Jyoti, who have suffered from forced participation in bonded slavery to produce cigarettes, from abuse and torture at the hands of corrupt police, and from forced sexual slavery in brothels. The following are Gary's remarks after his slide presentation:
Gary Haugen addresses students at Calvin College:
In verses 17 and 18 of Psalm 10 it says, "O Lord you will hear the desire of the meek; you will strengthen their heart, you will incline your ear to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more."
Psalm 35 puts it this way, in verse 10: "O Lord, who is like you? You deliver the weak from those too strong for them; you rescue the weak and the needy from those who despoil them."
See, this is the good news of our scriptures, that in a world full of injustice and abuse, ours is a God of justice who yearns to bring rescue . But in spite of this good news, this marvelous good news, to me it always just raises another question, doesn't it? Which simply is "Well, that's nice, but what's God's plan for actually doing that? What's God's plan for bringing rescue to Shama, to David, and to Jyoti?" Well it turns out that once again the answer from scripture is pretty straightforward, it turns out that: " we're the plan ." You know Micah Chapter 6, verse 8, which we sing about and is on all of our Christian calendars, I think, it says, "He has told you, O Man, O Woman, what is good and what the Lord requires of you: but to do justice, love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Isaiah 1:17 says, "Seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow." So there's no question from scripture that God has given to his people the work of doing justice in the world. But if you're like me, you hear these stories and you hear these statistics and you learn all the things you learn in your classes about all the oppression and abuse in the world and you can just feel bolted to your chair with despair! We feel so powerless. But you know, in those moments I think it's very helpful to remember this little story from the gospels, when Jesus fed the five thousand.
Do you remember this story? It's interesting because the disciples are in exactly the same position we find ourselves in; remember Jesus is talking for a long time and everyone is getting hungry, and so the disciples go to Jesus and they say "Hey Jesus, everybody's hungry, why don't you send them home to get themselves fed?" And Jesus doesn't want to miss out on the fun of this situation, I think, and so he says to his disciples, "No, you guys just go ahead and feed em!" The disciples are really patient with Jesus and they go ahead and explain to him what he doesn't understand about the situation and they say, "Well Jesus, you see, there's FIVE THOUSAND hungry people. And it would take a half year's wages to be able to feed them all and we'd really love to do that, but we just don't have that cash on us today, so [brushing hands free of the problem] Back To You, Jesus!'" Interesting, right, because there was nothing unclear about what Jesus asked them to do. He said, "Feed the people." But they looked at the enormity of the need, and they looked at their own resources, and made their own calculation that, "This really can't have anything to do with us." Likewise with injustice in the world you look at the enormity of the need and we look at our own puny resources and we think, "This can't have anything to do with us." But what does Jesus say in the story? Something very interesting, he simply asks, "Well, what do you have?"
Well they don't have nothing, and so they push forward what they do have, which is the little boy with the sack lunch. He's got the five loaves and the two fish in it, right? And this is presented as the corporate resources to meet the massive need! And then the apostle Andrew, who has a graduate degree in public policy from Harvard, I think, he looks at the five loaves and the two fish and simply says, [deep, resounding voice] "What are these, among so many?" [Laughter.] See this would be me, because I'm very clever, and really well-educated, and I went to college and I took a math course, and you've got FIVE THOUSAND hungry people and you've got five loaves and two fish, and frankly, [self-important voice] "If you're as sophisticated as I am, and if you understood the deeper sociological roots of the whole situation you'd see there's nothing for us to do but sit in the paralysis of despair." But what does Jesus say? Something very different, he simply says, "Give it to me." "What do you have, and will you give it to me?" And in that moment Jesus takes responsibility for the miracle, and proceeds to feed five thousand people. He didn't ask the boy to give what was needed, he didn't ask the boy for a miracle; he just asked the boy for what he had.
Do you know that Shama is no longer held in bonded slavery anymore? Our IJM investigators were able to put together a report about the way she was being abused and in the process discovered fourteen other children who were being abused in that village and ended up exposing a syndicate of hundreds of children who were held in slavery. We put this together into a report and made an appointment on a Monday with a magistrate who had the power to release these children, but, we didn't know how he would respond to the report, so on the Sunday before the meeting we went to this little church in the middle of rural South Asia, to pray for that meeting with the magistrate, because we had our report, (we had our "lunch"), but what we needed was a miracle! And we got to the church and who should turn out to be the guest preacher in that particular church on that particular Sunday, but the very magistrate we were supposed to meet with the next day. That he too is a follower of Jesus Christ and was able to take these reports, and was able to set all of these children free. He was later promoted to become special commissioner of bonded labor, and has helped IJM to set free hundreds upon hundreds, legion upon legion, of children moving out of literal slavery into freedom, back into schools, and into the life that God intended for them. And all of this obviously happens because everyone at International Justice Mission is an absolute genius! "Did we have a plan for leveraged impact, or what?" No, what we have is a God of justice who loved these children, who was just waiting for someone to pony up even just a little bit of obedience, so that he could do a miracle.
Likewise, David is no longer rotting in jail. Our local Kenyan/IJM lawyers were able to investigate and pursue his case, getting him released from jail. He's not in prison anymorebut I'll tell you where he ishe's in law school. Because he has seen the power of God, and he now wants to be a voice for those who are abused. And while he is now out of prison, I'll tell you who is in prison: the five police officers who committed that horrific abuse. They've now been properly dismissed from the police force and are being prosecuted. And this is changing the calculation in the community about what the police can get away with. And this [slide on screen] is a picture of David, with his IJM lawyer, Victor, there on the left. David loves Victor. Victor is a miracle worker who was able to rescue him. He's one of the best lawyers in Kenya , but he also happens to be blind. And so David pulled me aside one day and he said to me, you know, "don't tell Victor this, but, if Victor can be such an amazing lawyer without even being able to see, then it's no big deal that I don't have a right arm." See this is hope beginning to change everything in David's life, and in his community.
Likewise for Jyoti, she's no longer being horrifically abused, inside a brothel. Some of our IJM undercover investigators were able to find her, work with local police to get her rescued out, she was taken to a place of long-term Christian after-care, where after years, she was able to come to know Christ personally. Then she came back to us and she said, you know, "I know where other children are being abused. Can I lead you on another police raid, to rescue them out?" And so she returned to that place of horror and allowed us to rescue another seven girls out of the brothels. One of those was a girl named Kalindi. And when Kalindi was rescued out, she came back once again to say you know, "there are still more children in this other place where I could take you," and so Kalindi led us on yet another raid. And she led us to a brothel, where there was this underground detention center, this underground hovel, where there were dozens of girls held in forced prostitution, and on the day that she was able to bring us back there, dozens of these girls were able to be brought out of this incredibly brutal darkness. And they moved out of a place of ugliness and abuse, and into the light of freedom. And all of this happened, because the body of Christ actually showed up for Jyoti, and then Jyoti showed up for Kalindi, and then Kalindi showed up for these girls. This is the power of the gospel going forth into the world, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
You know if you think of that story of the feeding of the five thousand, why did Jesus do it the way that he did? I mean, why didn't, if everybody was hungry, why didn't he just dump the manna on everybody? [Deep voice] "Manna!" [dumping with hands] "Get back to the Teaching!" I think he did it the way that he did for just one reason: I think he wanted to give one little boy a very cool day. [Laughter] Right? I mean, like, this little boy goes home to his mom, who made the lunch, right, like, "Mom! Guess what Jesus did with my lunch today? He fed FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE!!" Do you imagine that that little boy will ever forget that day? And yet what a small day he would have had, right, if he had just gone away to eat his own lunch? And yet did Jesus actually have to have the lunch in order to do the miracle? Or did he maybe just love this little boy so much that he just wanted to say, "Wait, wait, wait! Look! Look what I can do with your lunch!"
What does this mean for all of us? I'd like to just suggest just four simple things. Number one: it might suggest a new season of rediscovering God's passion for justice in the world. We've produced some books and some materials for teachers, some resources for you to go back into the scripture to find God's heart for justice. Also some of you might want to pray for the work of justice. This is what I would invite all of you to do, as a big favor to me, go to our website and sign up as a prayer partner for IJM. We have a table up here as well. You can get information about it. But as a prayer partner we will give you an e-mail once a week with these kinds of urgent stories where we need people to pray and intercede, and I would ask you to do that. See if that process of praying every week for this does not change you. Some of you might want to pay for the rescue the poor cannot afford. Some of you might want to actually go and do this work, and to train to be good at it, and I'd invite you to visit our website and look at all the jobs that we have open, look at all the internship possibilities, begin to dream and think about how God might use you. But don't miss the invitation.
Finally I would like to just close by considering a question all of us think of, I imagine, which is, "Why in a world of so much suffering and need have we been given so much?" You know, I grew up wanting to be a really good football player, and sad to say, it turned out I just really wasn't much of a football player, but fortunately my two older brothers would sit me down and explain to me why. [Laughter.] And they said, Gary, you gotta understand, see: "You're small , but you're slow ." And so, this was helpful to me in an odd way and so one of the things I would do, of course, is I would go to the weight room to work out, right, to try to get bigger [frenetically pumping arms], I would go to the weight room and I would work out and work out. Nothing would happen but I would go anyway, and I'd be workin' out and workin' out and there in the weight room I would always look over and there in their special section of the gym were the bodybuilders. Right, have you seen these guys? I mean, they're huge! Huge chests and arms and legs and neck. And, I used to just look at all that muscle mass, and all that strength and all that power, and I used to just ask, "But what's it all for?" "It's for posing!" And the only time all that strength and power is ever really brought to bear in the world is when there's a crisis in the kitchen, and the jam jar's stuck and they, they pop open the jam jar! See, my prayer for us, my prayer for us is that in a world of so much suffering and hurt and need, that God will not leave us opening jam jars. But that he will he will rescue us from all things petty, all things small, and that he will rescue us from all things of fear, and move us out with courage into the world that is yearning to know the goodness of God, through us. May God yet find us useful for what matters to him, in the world.
Thank you all very much.

Endless to do lists generally do not work. One productivity strategy is to plan on doing only your most important three to five tasks each day. A Chrome extension, Dayboard, is a pretty smart way to help you focus on those tasks.
The extension replaces Chrome's standard new tab page with a simple, minimalist task list, limited to five items. Check them off as you go along your day or go into the Focus mode, which reminds you of your single next task to do. Dayboard will also track your progress in the History page and keep your tasks in sync on other computers.
New features coming soon include team task tracking and turning off reminders at the end of the work day.
For people who work in the browser all day, as I do, it's a great extension. When opening a new tab, I'm reminded "oh yeah, that's what I'm supposed to be doing now. Better get back to work."

Upcoming 'Stan Lee's Superhumans' TV Show to Feature Real-Life Genetic Gifts
"X-Men" co-creator Stan Lee is set to re-explore the world of mutants – or, at least regular people with genetic gifts. The History channel has tapped Lee to co-host "Stan Lee's Superhumans" with David Browning Smith a.k.a. "The World's Most Flexible Man. Each episode will put the pair in search of folks with unique abilities granted at least in part by their special genetic makeup. For everyone's sake, I hope Cerebro is involved.
In a way, the show's premise seems a little like Lee's comic book film cameos in that the wonderfully hyperbolic host will take something of a back seat to those with special abilities. Depending on how the series' subject matter is presented, that might be a good or a bad thing. I personally wouldn't mind watching Lee host a weekly 5 hour-long freeform talk show, so what do I know?
There's no official launch date set in stone for SLS, but it's expected to air sometime between July and September. Keep your incredibly powerful eyes peeled – or peel them off – whatever your unique biology safely allows.[Via IGN]
