What do you call the feeling when you wake up feeling weary and awful? Waffle? Now you can smother that feeling in some sweet invigorating syrup.
The company Wired Wyatt's has combined the classic pancake topping with the stimulating caffeinated power of popular energy drinks to bring you a morning routine that won't make you feel sapped. It's not technically maple syrup since the ingredients are sugar, water, maple flavor, caffeine and butter flavor, but it'll get you out the door with your buzz on. It's available on ThinkGeek for thirteen bucks.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Heading into their final tournament of the fall season, the Saint Leo women's golf team jumped eight spots to No. 7 on the latest Golfstat rankings, announced Tuesday.
The Lions make the leap back into the top-10 after proving themselves on their home course, taking first place at the Saint Leo Invitational on Tuesday afternoon at the par-72, 6,063 yard course at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club. The Lions, who entered into the tournament ranked 15th, topped a list of five teams ranked within the top-10 on the previous poll, including second-ranked Florida Southern.
Six of the teams listed in the top-10 this week hail from the Sunshine State Conference, with Nova Southeastern, Florida Southern, Rollins, and Barry University placing in the top four, respectively. Saint Leo Invitational participant Northeastern State University breaks the SSC streak, earning a fifth-place nod, followed by Lynn at sixth, and Saint Leo, who rounds out the list of conference institutions on the top tier.
St. Edward's University, Sonoma State, and University of Indianapolis complete the top-10.
After earning their big victory at home this past week, the Lions now prepare for their final tournament of their fall campaign. The Green and Gold will travel to St. Augustine, Fla., on Monday to partake in the two-day Flagler Fall Slam, hosted by Flagler College at the Marsh Creek Country Club.
Last year, the Lions finished in a first-place tie with Barry University thanks in large part to Heather Petronis and former Lion Jordan Hatch, who finished in the individual ranks at first and second, respectively. Saint Leo will look to clinch another victory and close out their fall season on a high note.
When asked about the upcoming event, Petronis said, "The momentum is strong with the Lions as we head into our final tournament of the fall. My teammates have shown great dedication thus far, and a spark has been ignited from our recent win at the Saint Leo Invitational. Knowing now what we are capable of manifesting out on the course, we are even more excited to produce something great at the Flagler Fall Slam."
The Lions tee off at the Flagler Fall Slam on Monday morning, and will participate in the two-day tournament against some of the elite teams in Division II women's golf.
Petronis concluded, "We have the motivation. We have the talent. We have the heart. We will continue to prove it!"

HOUSTON - A group of young women that targeted businesses in the Upper Kirby area stole cellphones and wallets from employees at three stores.
The crime spree happened on Sunday afternoon at the Shepherd Square Shopping Center, 2075 Westheimer Road. Sources told KPRC Local 2 that the same group of five young women hit seven businesses. Some of the suspects appeared to be teenagers.
The group walked into a Massage Heights pretending to be related to someone who was getting a massage.
"She asked to use the restroom," the manager said. "All of our therapists were in session at the time. She just helped herself."
He said the suspect snuck into the employee break room and stole one of the worker's wallets from their locker while no one was looking. Then, she tried to steal another worker's wallet from the back office while a woman was inside doing some paperwork. When the employee realized the young woman was standing there, the suspect said she was lost.
The crime was caught on surveillance cameras.
"I would assume by the video that this isn't the first time that they've done something like that," the manager said. "They probably cased the establishments before they set foot in them"
Massage Heights said it will take more precautions, especially during the holiday season.

Like she's sort of effortlessly ethereal but not in an annoying way. Let me try to clarify here. Full Story

AN angel-faced girl who was born with a life-limiting heart and lung defect will be able to play outside at her home at last, thanks to a national charity.
Six-year-old Madison Kennedy-Finglas, who lives in Charter Street, Accrington, with her family, suffers from a rare heart defect called Scimitar Syndrome.
She also has bronchomalacia - weak breathing tubes - is profoundly deaf and has muscular problems. She has relied on a ventilation system for most of her life.
Because her garden is a combination of 'mud and a few slabs', Madison is unable to play outside in the fresh air while mum Danielle is busy with household jobs, and the family couldn't do the work themselves.
Now, children's charity WellChild and volunteers from Manchester-based solicitors Horwich Farrelly have joined forces to transform the garden into an area which Madison can enjoy and play safely in.
Danielle said: "The garden was uneasy and muddy. It was just unsafe.
"Madison doesn't really know what's going on, she thinks they are just painting in the garden.
"She deserves the freedom. She's no longer on the ventilation and can now run and play, which we never thought would happen."
Starting yesterday, the WellChild Helping Hands team has been working hard to clear and level the garden.
By the end of today they will have created a decked area and installed a swing. The sensory garden is for Madison and her sister Macey, five, and brother Dylan, 12, to enjoy.

By the magic of FRED, here it is in levels (green is before the 2010 revisions, blue before the 2011 revisions, red is today): Read more

Top 4 Work-At-Home Healthcare Jobs
April 15, 2014
Check out four careers that are changing the way people think about jobs in healthcare.
By Holly Johnson for
When you're considering a career in the healthcare industry, it's easy to assume that they all require your physical presence. After all, it's easy to think of only the traditional
healthcare jobs
that have been around for decades. You know the ones—
making the rounds in a hospital ward or clinic,
seeing patients in their office, and
administrative professionals
manning the front desk in an office type healthcare setting. But, over the course of 10 or 15 years, the Internet has turned the healthcare industry on its head, and jobs that were once only available outside of the home can now be performed nearly anywhere.
If you're interested in the healthcare field, but would prefer to work from the comfort of your own home, check out these four careers that are changing the way people think about careers in the healthcare industry.
1. E-doctors.
Unlike traditional physicians, online doctors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and willing to make a house call, albeit a "virtual" one, even outside of typical office hours. Other than the online aspect, e-doctors are the same as regular doctors in almost every way and require the same level of education and licensure that a regular doctor does. However, the differences between the duties of a traditional doctor and an e-doctor are striking. For example, one online physician referral service, DoctorOnDemand.com, advertises that new hires have the option to work flexible eight-hour or four-hour shifts, with the ability to perform their job almost anywhere—at home, in the office, or even on vacation.
Other perks include avoiding the daily commute, increased mobility, and a low-stress work environment. Imagine working as a doctor, but without the constant stress of dealing with co-workers, office politics, or strict schedules.
2. Medical transcriptionists.
The job duties of a medical transcriptionist entail listening to the voice recordings of physicians and other medical
medical transcriptionist
professionals and converting them into written reports. According to the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
, medical transcriptionists may also use speech recognition technology to review and edit medical records. All of these duties require excellent listening skills on the part of the medical transcriptionist, as well as, the ability to quickly process information. However, the one thing this career doesn't always require is a lengthy commute or a commitment to a specific work schedule, and medical transcriptionists are often able to complete their job duties from the comfort of their own home.
Medical transcriptionists typically complete some
postsecondary education
in order to study the different types of medical terminology being used, concepts in anatomy and physiology, and the various types of word processing software, so it's important to take those factors into consideration before researching medical transcriptionist jobs.
3. Telehealth / triage nurses.
Many large companies hire nurses to work at home providing advice, triage support, and disease management services over the phone or online. This type of arrangement benefits both parties since the employer doesn't have to provide a physical location for the employee, and the professional nurse gains the flexibility to work from the comfort of his or her own home. Job requirements are similar to those of nurses who work outside of the home and
requirements to gain licensure
vary widely depending on your state of residence. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, most nurses become one by earning either a bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN), associate degree in nursing (ADN), or nursing diploma if their state allows.
4. Remote consultants.
Modern healthcare has become a complex industry, requiring different types of professionals to manage each of its components. Different types of consultants can fulfill certain roles, and many of those jobs can be completed remotely—only requiring a computer, a phone, and a reliable Internet connection. For example, healthcare giant Aetna offers some employees the opportunity to work out in the field, and they refer to these jobs as "telework" careers. Professionals who assume these roles provide consulting and support to various departments within the organization, manage complex projects, and may be expected to travel when required. The required level of education can vary depending on the opportunity, but most open consulting positions require several years of experience in the industry and a bachelor degree or master degree.
The truth is, the digital age has inspired a revolution in healthcare and has changed the way nearly everything is done. Paper files have evolved into electronic records. Medical bills can be accessed and paid entirely online. And medical professionals are able to work from the comfort of their own home, providing patients and clients with the professional expertise and support that is integral to every aspect of the healthcare industry.

Watching Scariest Places On Earth on ABC Family....they cover a mental hospital, with a history "too gruesome" to reveal where it is. So of course, I decide it sounds like a good short story, and I must absolutely know where this has taken place. Of course, I can't find it. So I'm recruiting you guys.
IF this place actually exists (it sounds a little far fetched to me), this is what I know...
A patient escapes, dismembering another female patient. He buries her around the hospital grounds, and is never caught. He is believed to still live around the hospital, which closed its doors in 1990 due to its inhumane treatment of patients, apparently still using electroshock treatment, beating patients, etc. A newspaper quoted it's constable, Charles Gravis, as telling the town not to panic, but a very violent and insane criminal had escaped.
If this rings a bell to anyone, or you come up with anything else to add, let me know, because I'm very curious.

Forum Brothers & Sisters,
Please remember Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut in your Prayers. This is very sad, their community needs our prayers. I pray that God will give them peace & comfort & help them through this tragic time. It makes me sick to see this on the news. I've heard people say if there is a God, how can he allow this? Remember we are here at free will. God is a gentlemen & will not force anyone to do anything. That is why we need to pray and ask him to stop these shootings! His hands are tied until we pray in the name of Jesus. Once we pray he can & will intervine!
God Bless you & your families!

It is favoured by international elite forces and security services around the world but now a fully loaded Uzi submachine-gun has surfaced, in the wrong hands, on Sydney's streets.
Ballistics and forensic specialists are today investigating the origins of the rare military style firearm which was seized along with ammunition and drugs in an operational raid in Campbelltown on Friday.
At 8.30am, detectives from the Firearms and Organised Crime Squad executed a search warrant at a business in Queen Street where they uncovered the 9mm Uzi machine pistol, complete with magazine containing approximately 15 rounds.
Also seized were a further 40 rounds of 9mm bullets as well as cannabis, a computer hard drive and a mobile phone.
A second search warrant was executed at a property in Longhurst Road, Minto, where officers seized a ski boat with trailer, plus cannabis and prescription medication.
Police issued a 33-year old man – who is a member of the Rebels outlaw motorcycle gang – with a court attendance notice for the offence of possessing a prohibited drug (cannabis). He will appear before Campbelltown Local Court on February 27.
While no charges have yet been laid in relation to the Uzi, NSW Police are concerned by the discovery.
The weapon, designed in the 1950s by an Israeli army captain, is most commonly found in high security settings and in combat – not Sydney's streets.
Authorities will be keen to learn how the weapons are being smuggled into Australia – another fully-loaded Uzi submachine-gun was recently seized at an Adelaide address along with a cache of other, modified, weapons.
State Crime Command's Detective Acting Chief Superintendent Arthur Katsogiannis said on Saturday that police were determined to stamp out gun crime, but could only succeed with the community's support.
"We are being very proactive in targeting criminals and their weapons," Superintendent Katsogiannis said.
"We need people to come forward with information about firearms and that is something we are starting to see."
The Uzi seizure followed an extensive week-long operation designed to target individuals suspected of gun crime.
Elsewhere across the state, a 26-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman were charged with firearm and drug offences after a search warrant was executed near Cessnock last Wednesday.
Police from Central Hunter LAC allegedly seized various items including cannabis plants, an air rifle, crystal methamphetamine, a sling-shot and a stolen motorcycle at a home in Bellbird.
Last Thursday, officers from the Gangs Squad's Strike Force Raptor charged an associate of the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang with firearms offences and possession of counterfeit currency.
The 29-year-old man had been arrested at the scene of a search warrant in Greenfield Park in November 2012.
During that raid, officers seized a loaded sawn-off double-barrel shotgun, a starting pistol, a dismantled clandestine drug laboratory, prohibited drugs, a stolen motor scooter and a large amount of counterfeit currency.
Also on Friday, Gangs Squad officers seized a rifle and ammunition from an associate of the Nomads outlaw motorcycle gang.
The 38-year-old man had his firearms licence revoked by the NSW Firearms Registry.
In the current financial year, NSW Police have seized more than 7300 illegal and legal licensing breached firearms - compared with 6900 the previous financial year.

St Raphael's Hospice's first CEO has said its future is safe despite widespread fears about its funding.
Serious concerns were raised and a campaign was launched by the Sutton and Cheam MP Paul Burstow when the news was announced a year ago that St Raphael's Hospice could be left with a £1m funding gap when the nuns who own it sell its sister hospital St Anthony's.
Absolutely Fabulous star June Whitfield, who lives in Wimbledon, called on the nuns to answer questions about the hospice.
Mr Burstow asked the Government to intervene and the chairman Dr Ron McKeran admitted there was 'considerable uncertainty' and wrote a letter, along with six senior consultants, to the Vatican and senior archbishops in the UK asking them to withdraw their permission to sell St Anthony's to a commercial organisation.
Actress June Whitfield outside the hospice
However, with separation imminent the first CEO of St Raphael's Hospice Mike Roycroft said the future of the hospice has never really been in jeopardy and now there was an exciting time of opportunity.
Campaigners against the sale said a £1m invisible subsidy from St Anthony's paid for a range of services and functions including infection control, IT, catering and use of hospital medical facilities such as blood transfusions and X-rays.
But Mr Roycroft said this week the hospice would be "absolutely fine".
He said: "The hospital will be sold off fairly shortly - they are going through the last few legal steps. I realise there's been a long period of uncertainty but in reality the future of the hospice never has been in jeopardy.
"We are hoping that by the end of March we will be ready to be separated whether or not the hospital is sold or not. When the sale takes place, whenever that might be, it will happen seamlessly.
"There are, of course, many challenges ahead but I have been so impressed by the quality and dedication of the staff and volunteers that I have met and what is being achieved."
He said although they were ready to go ahead with the separation there were a few things such as forms still bearing St Anthony's name which need to change but these were easily manageable.
The hospice will remain under the ownership and management of its parent charity, the Daughters of the Cross, and chairman of the trustees, Sister Veronica Hagen said: "It was with excitement and joy that I was able to introduce Mike Roycroft the first full-time chief executive officer, to the staff of St Raphael's.
Mr Burstow said: "I welcome the reassurance of St Raphael's new chief executive. However, the relationship with St Anthony's Hospital has been a special one and I look forward to hearing how the hospice plans to create a positive future on its own."
Previously Mr Roycroft, was chief executive for nearly ten years of The Whitey Homes Trust and Warden of Whiteley Village, near Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, which provide support and care to needy elderly people.
Prior to that he was the director of the Army's Primary Health Care Service in UK.

I decided to give the Egg the night off. I had a craving for fried shrimp and I just had to satisfy it.
Used my propane burner and got my oil heated up to 350F.
Used some Zatarian's Seasoned Shrimp Fri and battered up some 'shrooms for an appetizer
Turned out sooo good!!
Then I used some Louisiana Hushpuppy mix, added in a diced jalapeno and fried those up as well.
Not so good, kind of bland and dry, but they looked great. Next up it was the shrimp
Finally plated it up with some Bombay Salad (from a restaurant called King's Inn in Baffin Bay, Texas) that my wife loves and whipped up.
Felt bad for my Egg, but I had a craving. And I got plans to fire her up tonight, so she's not too mad at me....I hope.

Greg Malkin was a successful entrepreneur for almost 30 years before he decided to share his passion for business with students.
Greg has wanted to be his own boss since his high school days when he spearheaded an effort to sell ads in school flyers to local businesses.
As an undergraduate at MIT, Greg started a specialty advertising business to help pay for his college tuition. "I enjoyed selling door to door and I loved the thrill of the close," he says.
In 1983, after stints at a chemical company and as manager of his uncle's construction business, Greg launched his own computer-aided engineering company called Technical Software, "The PC had just come out. As an engineer it seemed like it would be a great tool," he recalls.
By the time Greg sold his company in 2000, it had 30 employees and five million dollars in annual revenue. He went on to serve as Executive Vice President of the IMAGINiT Technologies division of Rand A Technology Corporation (the company that bought his company), acquiring 10 additional companies to build a worldwide operation with over $30 million in revenue.
"I had been in business for 30 years," Greg says. "I wanted to do something different with my life." Greg already had extensive teaching experience training adults on software applications when he began teaching youth entrepreneurship with NFTE's partner ECity. In 2002, he began serving as a business plan coach and a judge in its after-school programs.
The entrepreneur continued to follow his passion. He got a Masters degree in education and founded the Entrepreneur Institute at University School, where he teaches full time.
Greg became a Certified Entrepreneurship Teacher and led four E CITY BizCamps from 2006 through 2009. He initiated the Celebration of Youth Entrepreneurship program
which brings nationally recognized entrepreneurs to speak to local middle and high school students to inspire them to reach for their dreams.
As a teacher, Greg uses examples from his own experience to bring concepts alive and make curriculum more engaging in the classroom. "Using my own credit statement, I do a two-hour lesson on credit that connects to the current financial crisis," he says.
"But more important, it shows young people that their credit score will be the most important number in their adult lives."
"It's more of a mission than a career," Greg says about his calling. Working with E CITY has allowed him to bridge his passion for entrepreneurship and business with his passion for teaching.
"A significant number of E CITY students are motivated to become entrepreneurs," he says. "This generation is definitely more entrepreneurial."

In late February, the Office for National Statistics decided to classify the Treasury's raid on the Bank of England's accumulated interest payments from quantitative easing as a receipt for the public sector.
You can have a long and reasonable argument on whether the raid, euphemistically called a "cash management operation", is a good idea. But I argued a few days later that the treatment of an internal public sector transfer of money as government revenue in the headline figures was a poor decision by the Office for National Statistics. There was no world in which the underlying public finances had been improved by the move, I argued.
As a journalist I was appalled that Britain's independent statistical authority was setting out a legalistic argument for an economic question and for a set of statistics that were not governed by international conventions. I felt the statistics for borrowing and debt could not be trusted any more.
As a member of the public, I wrote to the chairman of the UK Statistical Authority, the statistics watchdog, to ask for a review of the ONS decision (email reproduced below). Today, I received a reply from Andrew Dilnot, the UKSA chairman (also reproduced). I am delighted to say the UKSA thinks I raised important points and has set up a short review. Read more

Illegal confiscation of Church property in Pakistan
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
A local Catholic leader in Pakistan has spoken out against the illegal confiscation of Church property by the government.
The Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Lahore in northern Pakistan, Bishop Sebastian Francis Shaw, deplored the illegal transfer into state ownership of a piece of land belonging to the Church.
He reported that the transfer has now also been formalized in the land register.
A Caritas center had previously stood on the confiscated land, which was torn down with heavy equipment under police protection on January 9, 2012.
The complex of buildings had included a day care center for old people, a sewing school for girls, a chapel and a convent for sisters, as well as further Catholic Church institutions.
The center has been in the possession of the Church since at least 1887. "The provincial government had promised on many occasions to give the confiscated land back to us. But not only were these promises not kept, but meanwhile the property has even been transferred into state ownership in the relevant documents," Bishop Shaw said.
He made his report to international Catholic pastoral charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), saying that a court has already ruled that the transfer of the land to state property took place illegally.
Shaw further stated that, in his opinion, in the case of the severe unrest that occurred on March 9 in a Christian district of Lahore, some government representatives had "had an eye on the land" and wanted to drive out the inhabitants.
The police stood by and did nothing when, two days after accusations of blasphemy made against the Christian Sawan Masih on March 7, some 3,000 men attacked St. Joseph's Colony and set fire to 178 houses as well as two Christian churches.
In the Bishop's view, however, it is gratifying that expressions of solidarity with the victims have come from numerous Muslims, along with spontaneous offers of aid.
"A growing consciousness is developing among the population that we are all Pakistanis," the bishop said.
Bishop Shaw described how representatives of the government, Muslim scholars and a high-ranking Imam came together to visit the scene, give comfort to those affected and express their deep regret. This is the first time that such a thing has happened in this form, said Shaw.
"More and more voices are being raised saying that the whole congregation should not be punished when one of its members unconsciously or even consciously does wrong. This is a good sign."

THE campaign to drastically improve Bolton's rail service launched with news that carriages were being slashed.
Back in December, First Transpennine Express announced they were halving the number of carriages on the popular Bolton 8.08am service to Manchester, and re-routing the Scottish services through Wigan — meaning one less train through Bolton an hour.
Furious commuters told The Bolton News that the trains were already in a dire state — with a reduction in services only making a bad situation much worse.
We launched our Let's Get Back On Track campaign the following day, demanding rail bosses improve the service and put more carriages on Bolton's already overcrowded services.
The campaign and petition quickly picked up speed, with Bolton's three MPs and town hall leaders all championing the cause.
And when Prime Minister David Cameron visited the newspaper's offices a few weeks later to announce the £37 million electrification of the Bolton to Wigan railway line, he assured us that he would look into a solution for the town's cattle truck carriages.
Soon, the campaign had attracted hundreds of signatures, with commuters sharing their horror stories of dangerous overcrowding, fights breaking out and people fainting due to the claustrophobic conditions.
The Department for Transport was invited to attend a public meeting on the problem in Bolton town centre, but refused.
Instead, they invited MPs David Crausby, Julie Hilling and Yasmin Qureshi to their offices in London to thrash out a solution — but said The Bolton News could not attend.
On March 6, our politics reporter Elaine O'Flynn met the MPs in London to deliver the 1,400-strong petition to Number 10 Downing Street, ahead of their crunch meeting with rail minister Stephen Hammond.
At their Westminster meeting he told them he was looking at a short-term solution, and agreed that any trains released following the Manchester to Liverpool and Wigan to Liverpool line electrification in December this year would be kept in the north.
This week the government went one step further, and agreed that any spare diesel carriages from the Manchester to Liverpool electrification would be used to help Bolton commuters.
- December 5: First Transpennine Express announces plans to reduce the number of trains and carriages calling at Bolton. Commuters tell The Bolton News that the move will only worsen Bolton's "sardine carriages".
- December 6: The Bolton News launches its Let's Get Back On Track campaign and a petition, which calls on rail bosses to put more carriages along the Bolton train corridor
- December 8: The number of carriages on the 8.08am service to Manchester from Bolton has its carriages slashed from six to three, while the Manchester to Scotland service is re-routed through Wigan, meaning one fewer train through Bolton an hour
- December 9: Bolton's business community argues that decent transport links are the lifeblood of commerce in the town centre
- December 13: The Department for Transport says that the railway line between Bolton and Wigan will be electrified, thanks to a £37m investment
- December 14: Prime Minister David Cameron promises to look into the issue of Bolton's overcrowded railways during a visit to The Bolton News offices
- January 15: An open meeting hears plans to launch a "Friends of Bolton train station" group in a bid to make sure commuters' voices are heard
- January 16: Representatives from First Transpennine Express, Transport for Greater Manchester (TFGM) and Bolton Council tell MP David Crausby that they are doing all they can to sort the problem, during a visit to Bolton train station
- February 14: MP for Bolton West Julie Hilling and Yasmin Qureshi, MP for Bolton South East, meet rail bosses at Ms Hilling's Westhoughton offices
- February 19: Bolton's three MPs invited to meet with the Department for Transport to look at how more carriages could be brought to Bolton — but The Bolton News is banned from attending
- February 24: The Let's Get Back On Track petition hits 1,000 signatures
- March 8: Our petition containing 1,400 signatures is delivered to Number 10. MPs David Crausby, Julie Hilling and Yasmin Qureshi present it in Parliament, and also meet with rail minister MP Stephen Hammond

Shooting StarProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
Henry and Gretchen plan on sitting outside to look for shooting stars. They know from experience that if they watch for an hour, they will have a 90% chance of seeing a shooting star. It is a chilly night, though, so Gretchen says, "Let's only stay out for 10 minutes."
Henry says, "I was really hoping to see a shooting star tonight. If we are only out for 10 minutes, we will only have a 15% chance."
Gretchen replies, "Not true. We have a better chance than that."
Is Gretchen right? If so, what is the probability that they see a shooting star?
HintWhat is the probability that they don't see a shooting star over the course of an hour? Ten minutes?
AnswerGretchen is right. The probability that they will see a shooting star is about 32%.
We know that the probability that they don't see a shooting star over the course of an hour is 10%. This is the product of not seeing a shooting star for 6 consecutive 10-minute periods. So if q is the probability of not seeing a shooting star over a 10-minute period, we can say:
0.1 = q^6
q = 0.6813
We know that the probability that they do see a shooting star is just 1 minus the probability that they don't, or 1 - 0.6813, which equals about 32%.

Corn futures built on overnight gains Wednesday. Bullish corn traders were reportedly reacting to steady cash quotes this morning, with current harvest delays apparently limiting immediately available supplies. Reports also cited widespread short-covering. Concurrent wheat and soy gains may have encouraged buying as well. December corn futures rose 4.5 cents are $4.4275 at Wednesday's close, while May futures gained 4.5 cents to $4.6375.
Cash firmness apparently boosted soybeans and meal in Wednesday trading. The combination of strength spilling over from the wheat market and reports of firm country prices, particularly for soymeal, seemingly pushed the soy complex higher Wednesday. Chatter concerning short-term harvest delays probably supported prices. However, soybean oil futures couldn't build upon strength spilling over from overnight gains in the Asian palm oil market. November soybean futures surged 7.75 cents to $13.10/bushel as Wednesday's session ended, while December soyoil dipped 0.02 cents to 41.50 cents/pound, and December soymeal advanced $5.3 to $421.4/ton.
Talk of a tightening global situation seemed to provide persistent support for the wheat markets. Bullish wheat traders continue citing the potential for strong demand from Brazil and China. Conversely, the impact of crop problems in the Black Sea region and Argentina might be exaggerated if the latest forecasts for potential drought in Australia prove accurate. However, the big setbacks form early highs may bode ill for short-term price prospects. December CBOT wheat futures closed up 1.0 cent at $7.0175/bushel Wednesday afternoon, while December KCBT wheat futures rallied 5.25 cents to $7.7075 and December MWE futures moved up 2.5 cents to $7.5875.
Seasonal concerns may have robbed the cattle market of upward momentum Wednesday. Cash prices surged to records around $132/cwt (cents/pound) this morning, which might easily have sent cattle futures soaring. Instead, winter-spring CME prices turned mostly lower, which probably reflected industry concerns about the market's history of late-October weakness as grocers begin shifting their attention to hams and turkeys for Thanksgiving. December cattle settled 0.22 cents lower at 132.75 in late-Wednesday action, while April lost 0.50 to 135.00. November feeder cattle sank 0.22 cents to 167.62 cents/pound and January feeders dropped 0.45 to 167.57.
Talk of cash and wholesale weakness apparently undercut hog futures. Although traders in the hog and pork complex are expecting substantial seasonal weakness through much of late 2013, cash prices fell significantly for a second straight day Tuesday. Pork prices also dropped at midday. The losses may signal greater downside potential than was previously anticipated, especially if forthcoming supplies meet larger USDA forecasts. December hog futures tumbled 0.42 cents to 88.15 cents/pound late in Wednesday's Chicago session, while April inched up 0.05 cents to 90.60 cents/pound.

Ratings for Dr. Marie E. Montag
Dr Montag is my new favorite doctor! She did my facelift 6 weeks ago and i am so pleased with the results. She put me at ease during my consult. I only wanted a facelift and lower bleph. She did not try to pressure me into any other procedures. The staff is very well informed. The PA and nurses are caring and kind. My fears about the anesthesia were put to rest and all went fine. My aftercare is going well. I highly recommend Montag. She has been nothing but kind and caring during my aftercare.
I am disappointed with everything!! 1st you get there on time and wait no less then 45min and spend only 5 minutes with her!! Every follow up she acted like she didn't remeber what she had done with me clueless!! I had my first BA and they never looked right I kept telling her every follow up and finally she said it looks like im bottoming out!! One was also bigger then the other so she was supposed to fill the other one up! Long story short she didn't and the revison on bottoming out did not work!! I went to her again and she confirmed I was bottoming and was goin to charge me again!! I went to another doctor and ffound out I wasn't bottoming out infact one impant is behind the muscle and the other is over the muscle and that's why I can feel and see my implant in one breast and that's why they look, feel like two different breast!! I had my first BA jan 2012 my revison sept 2012 and it is now sept 2013 and spent lots of money I didn't need to course of action will be taking place!
Dr. Marie E. Montag is extremely professional, but also very caring and courteous. I first met with her for my breast augmentation consult and she answered all of my questions, along with asking me what I was looking for. She is very detailed and polite. It is now my Post-Op Day 3 and everything looks beyond perfect! Minimum pain and swelling and everything is perfectly symmetrical. I will recommend her to everyone I know!
Dr. Montage removed a mole from my face. She did a great job - I have no scar at all. She was attentive and concerned.
Dr. Montag did a fantastic job on my recent breast reconstruction.
Very knowledgeable, friendly. Took all the time I needed to answer all of my questions. Would highly recommend her and her staff.
This doctor took my money and did a horrible job. She refused to correct her errors unless I agreed to repay to give her a second chance. I would NEVER recommend her services...not even to my worst enemies... Horrible service are even ruder office staff. I now have to pay a REAL professional to correct her MISTAKES!!! Small claims court here I come...
I still have one eyelid that droops lower than normal and the other one. I would NEVER go to her.
Dr. Montag was very nice and courteous! She was very knowledgeable of the procedure I wanted and was understanding. The staff was also very nice and friendly. I would recommend any one to them!! I would go back again if I need anything else!
This place was horrible, they leave you on hold never come back to the phone and then they loose paperwork and they are rude and mean. The Doctor never had a good consult with my 14 yr old after she was injured at a business so it was there insurance that had to pay her medical bills. however they over booked and pushed us out so this is not a great place to get anywork done.

I wanted to try and re-create the Starbucks type of pumpkin scone, even with the spiced glaze on top. I took the Best Scones Ever recipe and added some pumpkin and spices and they turned great, so this recipe will be a keeper. One thing to note is that you can make them as spicy as you want, up the spices until they are tuned into your taste buds. I went fairly easy on the spices for my trial run, next time I will probably add more because I love everything spicy.
Scone Ingredients:
1/3 cup of sour cream
1/3 tsp baking soda
1 cup of pumpkin
4 cups of flour
1 cup of white sugar
1 cup of margarine or butter
1 egg
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp ginger
1 tsp salt
Kick the tires & light the fires to 350 degrees.
Spicy Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
Mix your sour cream with the baking soda to poof it up.
Put all your dry ingredients into a large bowl and whisk them all together to get the spices and baking powder all the way through it.
Cut in your butter with either two knives criss-cross or a pastry blender.
Combine your pumpkin and egg together.
Add your pumpkin/egg mix, and the sour cream into the dry ingredients. Mix together thoroughly.
Once mixed, divide into three equal sized balls.
Flatten into 6 inch circles, and then cut each circle into 6 pie shaped pieces.
Place on a well greased baking sheet, and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until browned on the bottom and top.
For the spicy glaze, take all your ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. Once the scones are cool, drizzle on top, or use a ziploc bag with the corner cut out and use that to decorate them.

Comments about Bird Gard PRO Bird Repeller (Standard Unit):
I had hundreds of birds roosting in my neighbors bamboo. For the last couple of years it was just the noise but this year it was the droppings. The deck, the house siding, the driveway and the last straw, my truck.After washing around 80 hits off my truck I had to do something.At first it appeared to attract them but after a couple days they seemed more annoyed. The number of droppings was considerably less and after a week there were no droppings on my truck. No more on the house or deck.The population has dropped significantly. The Grackles come each year to hatch their babies so I think those are the only ones left.I had it turned up too loud at first. The unit was very effective at low volume. Highly recommend using the random setting and I added a fourth bird after a week(Blue Jay) just to mix things up a bit. Initially I had it set for 24 hours at short intervals then set it for daylight times only and then eventually set it to medium intervals and now it is set for long intervals.The Grackles, Starlings and Robins were the problem birds. Not anymore.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Glad it has a volume control!!
By Big Un and Babydoll
from McCamey Texas (west Texas)
We bought it to keep birds from roosting in our 80 ft tall Italian cypress tree. It grows right beside our sitting area, and we had to clean bird poo constantly. From the moment I turned it on, hundreds of birds exploded out of the tree. We were amazed that so many birds were in there. Within 3 days, no more poo. Well worth the money.

About Me Getting Started
The problem was I had to clean loads of bird feces off my deck. I set this deterrent in the back yard and the bird feces became less and less. It took about 3 weeks to completely dissappear. We still have birds, but they keep their distance. Product did exactly what I needed it to do. Thanks.

I'm having difficulty understanding the practical difference, because in both cases it feels like both soul's are completing and releasing prior life unhealthy attachments to each other. Meaning they came into this life with unresolved karma.Thank you. Logged Deva Admin Active Member Offline Posts: 242 Re: Composite sn in Scoprio: Venus Pluto phasal relationship « Reply #1 on: Mar 18, 2010, 08:38 AM » Hi Ari, based on the information you gave me I can give you general statements about that composite signature, but in order to accurately and comprehensively understand a composite chart you must look at the two natal charts, the synnastry between both people, and then bring that understanding into the composite chart. The natal birth of each person, again, will give us a firm understanding of the core evolutionary dynamics/intentions for that individual, and we can then see how two people affect/impact one another through synnastry analysis. If, through synastry, person A has Venus square Pluto, or The SN conjunct a personal planet of the other person (Mars for example), then is going to dramatically condition how we read the composite chart. Is that clear? In a general sense South Node in Scorpio would correlate to a couple who are trying to transmute past limitations within the relationship, and also to penetrate eachother psychologically. There are fears of abandonment, betrayal and loss that create an emotionally compulsive way of being together that creates a non-growth situation. The NN in Taurus would then reflect the evolutionary intention to develop a state of internalized emotional security and self-reliance within the relationship, and as a couple, to support this type of growth together. What is the Pluto/Venus phase in the composite chart? It was not clear in your post. These again, or very general statements I can make based on the information that you gave, and I would suggest reading the section in Pluto vol 2 called composite Pluto through the houses because it gives us a tremendous amount of insight into how to interpret a composite chart. Thanks for posting.God BlessDeva Logged ari moshe Most Active Member Offline Posts: 1192 Re: Composite sn in Scoprio: Venus Pluto phasal relationship « Reply #2 on: Mar 18, 2010, 09:37 AM » Hi Deva, thanks for your replyI meant to write "When pluto venus are in new phase versus balsamic conjunction" sorry about the lack of clarity.My question is: regardless of other synastry and composite factors- what is the appropriate way to understand the PHASE of Pluto and Venus in a composite chart, given that there is en evolutionary emphasis on developing a self sufficient relationship (Taurus nn). And for example: what is the difference between a Composite Pluto Venus new phase conjunction or a balsamic phase conjunction when the sn is in Scorpio?The question itself arose from reading through Pluto 2- JWG gives the example of a new pair of pants versus an old pair of pants- but I still don't know how to practically differentiate that reality for my clients. A Pluto Venus conjunction, no matter what phase its in, still feels the same to me- but I know they are not.Thank you. Logged Rad Admin Most Active Member Offline Posts: 2134 Re: Composite sn in Scoprio: Venus Pluto phasal relationship « Reply #3 on: Mar 18, 2010, 12:39 PM » Ari, The difference is that when the Venus/Pluto is balsamic is that this correlates to bringing and entire cycle to closure, culmination. Thus what is being culminated is the living, actual, reality for those two people. And because it has been in place for a very long time those two Souls will be very wary and weary of it. They will feel like they are like a living record that keeps repeating itself over and over: the old pants. The new phase of Venus/Mars means that that couple has come through the chute of culmination that has born all kinds of realizations of how to rebirth, renew, recreate their relationship in all kinds of new ways: the new pants. They will have the instinct to do just that. This will require lot's of trial and error. If the couple has a positive intention within that trial and error it will lead to restablizing their relationship later on in their evolutionary journey. That initial stabilization can take place at the semi-sextile aspect within the new phase.

MA in Christian Education (MACE) Advising
The Advising Center wants to help you make informed decisions as you progress toward graduation. MACE students often ask three questions:
- 1. How do I select an MACE Concentration?
The MACE degree includes 12 elective credit-hours. Students can select a customizable concentration intended to prepare them for their planned ministry context. MACE students should consult with the faculty member who oversees their desired ministry concentration in order to select electives which will best prepare them for their desired ministry or vocation. A concentration and appropriate electives must be selected before students have completed 30 credit-hours of their degree program.
Key Questions
- How does the stated purpose of this concentration strengthen my gifts and shore up my weaknesses?
- What skills or concepts do I want to gain or master as a result of my study?
- For what ministry context am I preparing?
Formal Process
- Consult the MACE Concentrations document to the right in order to survey options available to you, paying special attention to the purpose and required courses for each concentration. Options for Houston, DC, and distance students are Educational Leadership and Parachurch Ministries.
- Arrange a meeting with the professor who oversees the concentration in which you're interested in order to receive important course selection and career guidance.
- For the Parachurch Ministries concentration, submit the Parachurch Ministry form to Dr. Hillman or Dr. McLaughlin for approval.
- For all other concentrations, email the Advising Center requesting your selected concentration. Be sure to include your name and student ID number in all correspondence with the Advising Center.
- Once your concentration is approved, you will receive email confirmation from the Advising Center.
- Elective courses not preapproved for your concentration must be approved by the faculty advisor that oversees your concentration using the substitution approval form on the right side of this page.
- 2. How do I meet my 22-hour residency requirement?
Students should be aware that many Christian Education electives required for various concentrations are only available on the Dallas campus during fall and spring semesters. Students in the MACE program should contact the Educational Ministries and Leadership department for more information regarding planned elective offerings. Certain concentrations may require a student to commute or live in Dallas for a semester or more.
Additionally, 22 credit-hours of the MACE degree must be completed in a classroom at the Dallas, Houston, or DC campus. See our your residency requirement for more information regarding residency.
DTS provides several opportunities for students seeking to complete the MACE to earn residency credit:
- Dallas, Houston, or DC courses
Courses are offered in varying formats (day, evening, or weekends) at our Dallas, Houston, and DC locations. See the DTS course schedule for current and future course offerings.
We have created a plan which allows students to satisfy residency and elective requirements for the MACE while spending only two semesters in Dallas:
Fall Spring SF110 (see SF Office) SF110 (continued) EML101 (3 hours) EML103 (2 hours) EML Electives (6 hours) EML104 (1 hour) BE10X (3 hours) EML Electives (6 hours) ST10X (3 hours) Total: 12 hours Total: 12 hours
- Intensive Courses
DTS offers one and two-week-long intensive courses during our Summer and Winter sessions each year. Students complete pre and post coursework, and attend lectures for one to two weeks. See the course schedule for current and future course offerings.
- SuperWeek
SuperWeeks are designed to enable students to earn at least five hours of course credit in just one week. These five hours also count toward the 22-hour overall residency requirement of the MACE degree. Not all SuperWeek course offerings will satisfy requirements for your degree. Please verify your degree requirements prior to registering for SuperWeek.
- Dallas, Houston, or DC courses
- 3. How do I start my Servant Leadership Internship?
The MACE internship (INT165) is a two-credit, supervised field-based education course in one or more forms of Christian education ministry and educational leadership. This is completed under the supervision and encouragement of an experienced ministry mentor. Students should begin their internship after the completion of 30 credit-hours, EML102: History and Philosophy of Christian Education, and progress toward completion of SF100 or SF110.
In order to register for the internship, students should meet with the Internship Office. An Internship Advisor will be able to guide students in selecting an appropriate internship.

Shi Zhengrong, the former billionaire dubbed the ''Sun King'' for the meteoric rise of his solar company, Suntech Power, remains ''upbeat and very positive'', even as a possible debt default looms and the stock dives, according to the firm's chief technology officer.
Stuart Wenham, who has served as Suntech's main technology executive since the firm's founding in China in 2001, said Dr Shi was relaxed and confident during a meeting last week, even after he was ousted as chairman.
''How can you own 30 per cent of the company - much more than the next biggest shareholder - and not have a say in its future?'' said Dr Wenham, who was co-supervisor of Dr Shi when he was doing his PhD at the University of NSW, and serves as director of its Photovoltaics Centre of Excellence.
This week may prove crucial for the future of Suntech, which is one of the world's largest makers of solar PV panels.The New York Times overnight reported that the company has almost run out of cash and will soon be partially or fully taken over by the municipal government of Wuxi, in eastern China, where it is headquartered.
Doubts of Suntech's future sent its New York-listed shares plunging another 24 per cent on Wednesday, extending this week's fall to more than a third.
The company earlier this week secured agreement with 60 per cent of bondholders to delay repayments by two months to May 15 on convertible debt totalling $US541 million ($525 million).
Some of the remaining 40 per cent of bondholders, though, say they aren't prepared to wait that long and may sue the US-listed company if repayments are missed this week.
''Every piece of information that I've looked at suggests they will default on Friday,'' James Millar, a partner at law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in New York, told Bloomberg.
Stock turnaround
Suntech rose to prominence when it became the first Chinese solar company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2005. Its stock quadrupled by the end of 2007, valuing founder Dr Shi's stake at more than $3 billion.
Suntech's stock price and Dr Shi's status have since plummeted amid a global glut of solar PVs.
Dr Shi, who turns 50 on Monday, was ousted as Suntech's chairman seven months after being replaced as the firm's chief executive officer. He said he was ''shocked'' by his removal and warned the company needed a ''viable business plan''.
Concerns about Suntech's possible debt default caused its shares to resume their slide this week. At the current level, the stock is worth less than 1 per cent of its record close on Boxing Day 2007.
The company's strained finances were on display on Tuesday when Suntech revealed plans to shut its US plant in Arizona next month - just 30 months after its opening.
The company blamed the closure, in part, on the US government's decision to slap anti-dumping tariffs of 36 per cent on its solar cell imports from China.
Government aid?
The firm's best chance of survival is likely to be in the form of a bailout by authorities in China, as has happened to several other cash-strapped solar energy firms.
"There's a general confidence amongst the biggest companies that the Chinese government really values the industry and will make sure that it is protected in some shape or form," Dr Wenham said.
Two Chinese government advisors, though, told Bloomberg that the government would not rescue Suntech because the solar industry needs to consolidate after excessive expansion.
"The government won't intervene and shouldn't," Li Junfeng, director of the climate-change strategic research division at the government's National Development and Reform Commission said in an interview.
Meng Xiangan, vice chairman of the China Renewable Energy Society, a liaison between the industry and the state, said Suntech should "not rely on government assistance."
Whatever the outcome of the debt repayments or state bailouts, Dr Shi is certain to remain active in the solar industry, Dr Wenham said.
''It's his passion - it's not a job or a career,'' he said. ''It's his life.''

COLCHESTER United has no intention of introducing standing areas at home matches, despite politicians calling for a change in the law.
The Liberal Democrats, ahead of next year's general election, have pledged support for "safe standing'' at matches.
But the U's believe the cost of converting parts of the Weston Homes Community Stadium would be too high to justify changes.
Safe standing areas would see the installation of rail seats at grounds, which could be locked into an upright position to allow standing.
Colchester's Liberal Democrat MP, Sir Bob Russell, said: "I feel the atmosphere is different at all-seater stadiums and at Layer Road I preferred standing on the terraces to sitting.
"It would be better to have areas so those who want to sit can sit, and those who want to stand can stand.
"I would welcome the option, but I am not sure the stadium in its current configuration would allow it."
The stadium has a capacity of 10,105, but the average attendance last season was only 3,735.
A club spokesman said introduction of standing areas was unlikely, unless further expansion took place to fill in the corners of the stadium.
Standing is currently banned in the top two divisions of English football, and legal restrictions require newly-built stadia in all divisions to be all-seater.

Alexander Laskin, associate professor and director of graduate public relations in the School of Communications at Quinnipiac University, is available to offer insight in the Boston Marathon bombings investigation.
Officials said that the two suspects are of Chechen origin. Chechnya, a predominantly Muslim territory in southern Russia, is a long-disputed territory.
Laskin, who is originally from Moscow, is available to offer perspective about the Russian Federation, its political, ethnic and religious make-up.
"Russia is one of the most diverse countries in the world with almost 200 different nationalities living within its borders and practicing many different religions," Laskin said. "Although most of the nationalities live peacefully, Russia has been exposed to violent clashes in its Caucasus region, especially in Chechnya, for the last 200 years. Unfortunately, this conflict intensified after the break-up of USSR."
To speak with Laskin, please call John Morgan, associate vice president for public relations, at 203-206-4449.

I'm sure I am not the only one when it comes to leaving the faucet on while I brush my teeth. It's not that I don't care about water waste, it has usually been that I was just not paying attention. Wasting water is no light issue however, and states (such as California) are facing a water crisis so it is important to save every last drop, if possible.

Center for Simulation, Research, and Patient Safety [1]
The Center for Simulation, Research, and Patient Safety (CSRPS) [1] is an 800-square-foot facility where advanced, innovative teaching techniques and simulation technology are applied to the teaching of medicine. These dynamic tools allow for hands-on learning of procedural and cognitive skills in a critical, real-life environment with no risk to patients or staff. The CSRPS is a valuable resource that serves over 1,400 learners a year from multiple disciplines, including the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine [2], Jefferson College of Health Sciences [3], and Carilion Clinic faculty and staff. We also work with external partners at other area health care and educational facilities.
The CSRPS [1] has a wealth of resources and equipment to enhance participant learning that includes a control room and two simulation rooms where clinical skill stations and team-based scenarios are performed. For clinical skills training, task trainers are used to grasp the basic concepts of a technique and to practice psychomotor skills. The next stage in procedure practice includes virtual reality trainers which are used to practice the steps of the task in sequence and make the environment more realistic. The more advanced challenge would be to perform an entire scenario from beginning to end on a high fidelity simulator in a realistic setting using team based scenarios. These stepwise procedures cannot completely replace learning by interacting with real patients, but allows for practice and self-correction with clinical guidance and quality debriefing in a controlled environment.
Our mission is to transform and enhance medical education and to improve patient safety and quality of care through the use of clinical simulation in education and research. In short, our focus is on the patient and on helping faculty, staff and students find better ways to provide safe and effective care to our patients. If you would like further information about our Center for Simulation, Research, and Patient Saftey please email us [4] or call. Our information is under the Staff tab.
To request simulation based activities please click, download, and complete the Activity Request Form. The CSRPS staff will contact you within seven days to further discuss your request.

Have you been praying about a situation in your life and found yourself waiting for a breakthrough? Are you wondering why the answer hasn't come yet? Do you feel as though victory is passing you by?
Sometimes when we pray long and hard about a situation in our life without receiving any answers, we just learn to live with it. We go on about our business, wondering if or when God will send the answer. But God does hear those prayers, and He's working out the answers even though we may not know all the details. Our situation can change suddenly—quickly without warning!
But one thing is certain: Before God moves suddenly, we will wait. Waiting for answers is a fact of life—nobody gets out of it. So the question is not if we'll wait, but rather how we'll wait. And I believe how will determine how long.
All of us will wait passively, or we'll wait expectantly. A passive person hopes something good will happen and is willing to sit around waiting to see if it does. After a short time, he gives up, saying, "That's it! I've waited and waited and nothing's happened." The passive person has a lot of wishbone but not much backbone!
The expectant person, on the other hand, is hopeful, believing the answer is just around the corner, due to arrive any minute. His belief is not a passive thing. His heart is full of hope, expecting his problem to be solved at any moment. He wakes up every morning expecting to find his answer. He may wait and wait, but suddenly what he's been waiting for happens.
It's just like when a woman is pregnant; it's said that she is expecting a baby. She carries inside her the promise of a baby, and even though she can't see it, she knows it's there. The moment she learns of her pregnancy, she begins to plan for her baby's arrival. She starts collecting items she'll need and busily gets the nursery ready. She actively prepares for the arrival of the baby because she knows the promise will be fulfilled—it's just a matter of time. She is expectant and she'll wait as long as it takes.
We know the word wait means "to expect" or "to look for." But remember, it also means "to serve" — just like a waiter waits on your table at a restaurant. Our act of waiting isn't supposed to be spent sitting around passively hoping that something will happen sometime soon.
Once we've asked God to answer a question or solve a problem, we need to be eagerly awaiting His answer. We need to be serving actively, aggressively and expectantly. When our hearts are eager to hear from God, He loves to rush in suddenly with His solution. In many cases this waiting period actually serves as a time of preparation for the answer. If God answered right away, many of us would be ill-prepared to handle His solution.
Sometimes we find ourselves in such horrible messes that it's hard to imagine waiting one more second. But we need to keep waiting on God and trusting Him with a sweet and simple faith. Then, in a way we never could've figured out—God moves suddenly!
In the Bible Paul and Silas knew about waiting, and they waited well. Acts 16 tells the story of how they were attacked by a crowd, beaten and thrown in jail. Verse 24 says the jailer put them into the inner prison (the dungeon) and fastened their feet in the stocks. He was making sure they couldn't escape. But about midnight, God showed up. Now it would have been nice if He'd come a little earlier, but Paul and Silas didn't seem to mind—they just decided to start singing and began to worship the Lord. They began to wait on God.
Verses 25 & 26 say, "But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the [other] prisoners were listening to them, suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken; and at once all the doors were opened and everyone's shackles were unfastened." God answered them suddenly!
When people patiently and expectantly wait on God in the midst of horrible circumstances, suddenly God breaks through.
So don't give up! Don't stop believing! Stay full of hope and expectation. God's power is limitless, and He'll break through for you.
