ken123 wrote:The glassstones do yield a brighter finish if they are not loaded up with metal swarf so lots of water helps. Unlike other stones that use the mud generated from the stone to advantage, the Shaptons - pro and glass - primarily contain metal swarf which yields a duller finish left on the stone. Also the smallest amount of your quarter micron spray on the stones will remove or eliminate metal swarf buildup or glazing. It won't replace your final finish with just the quarter micron spray on nanocloth. ZDP-189 has lots of Chromium carbides (20%) and with a pinch of CBN it will increase the speed of your Shapton stones considerably, giving you a denser stone slurry and a more aggressive cutting action and improved finish. ZDP-189 will take an exceptional edge so you can even continue to increase the sharpness of your edge past quarter micron.In addition to keeping the metal swarf content down, spend a bit more time on each stone to more completely remove the scratch pattern from the previous stone. At times you will get an excellent edge but still need to go a bit further to get all the scratches out. They show up later and require going back to lower grits to remove them.If you are trying to figure out which stones are leaving the scratches, try 'stroking' the knife in alternative directions with each stone so you can determine what stone scratches they are by scratch direction.---Ken

So, re my post yesterday, apparently I am not the only one who has taken note of the action in the virtual fashion space. Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, those Tweet-savants, as well as Nina Garcia of Project Runway and Marie Claire magazine fame (and – full disclosure – another old Elle colleague) have all invested in a Series A fundraising round for Fashism.com, a virtual gaming site/app where players post photos of themselves, and other users get to vote on whether or not they should buy the pictured outfit.

I used to think everything I published on Facebook reached all of my friends, and I assumed the same for Adobe's brand page content. Heck, I'd bet many of the executives us social media managers report results to think all of our content reaches all of our fans. But alas, it does not.
Earlier this past Fall, there were lots of discussions about EdgeRank, and how brands aren't able to get their Facebook posts to reach more fans. Some folks suggested Facebook is nefariously dubious in changing their algorithms. I, however, tend to side with Mike from PostRocket on this: Facebook changes their algorithm all the time; they do it to help the user and not to penalize brands or make them spend more. Mike's advice is good, "Stop complaining and produce better content. Trust me, you'll be rewarded."
So let's assume you are taking great pains to make your Facebook page posts more readable and followable, but you still want to ensure they are reaching as many fans as possible…what can you do?
Take a look at Facebook Interest Lists
Facebook Interest Lists were launched in early 2012. This feature encourages fans to make Interest Lists for pages whose content they don't want to miss. It's like a personalized newspaper of sorts, for users to follow certain topics. (Not far off from Twitter lists.)
It's important to note that Facebook Interest Lists don't appear to affect EdgeRank (from what our Edelman Digital agency team saw in their research), but it does appear to be a great way for users to bypass Facebook's auto-processes to ensure they receive all of a company or brand's content.
Here's how:
Step 1: On any page, click the gear icon next to the "Liked" icon (lower right of main profile image)
Step 2: Add to Interest List
Step 3: Like, share and interact with the content!
Additionally, soon to be everywhere on Facebook (we think…), the new "Get Notification" feature.
This has been available on personal pages but just recently rolled out for some brand/company pages (though not all pages have this feature yet).
When users click to receive notifications from a brand page, they'll receive both a desktop notification (if on Facebook) and a mobile alert. Great for fans who don't want to miss a thing, and incredibly useful for social media managers when there are real calls-to-action posts.
Is your company doing anything else to help ensure your fans are getting all your Facebook posts? Let us know in the comments.

For Kyrians appearing in The Voyager Encounter simulation, see: The Voyager Encounter holograms
The Kyrian arbiter was part of a commission formed to investigate Quarren's activation of USS Voyager's EMH program. The Doctor gave startling evidence that the account of the great war between the Vaskans and Kyrians was incorrect. The arbiter wanted the investigation stopped and the EMH program deactivated. She believed that this was an attempt by the Vaskans to blame the war on the Kyrians and further subjugate her people to second class status. Her objections were overruled and the investigation continued. (VOY: "Living Witness")
Boy visitorEdit
This boy visited the Kyrian Museum of Heritage. He was touching an exhibit of a photon torpedo from the USS Voyager, when Quarren told him that the torpedo might go off. The boy became scared and Quarren told him he was only fooling him.
Inhabitants of the Kyrian and Vaskan homeworldEdit
Inhabitants of the Kyrian and Vaskan homeworld in the 31st century seven hundred years after the Great War between the Kyrians and the Vaskans.(VOY: "Living Witness")
The Kyrian spectator, while visiting Quarren's museum, asked how many people Voyager had on board, and if they had attacked other worlds. Like most of his information which was in error, Quarren told him that Voyager had a complement of three hundred people, and that the Borg drones on Voyager had assimilated many races to serve in the Voyager army. (VOY: "Living Witness")
This Kyrian visited the Kyrian Museum of Heritage when Tabris was the curator after the death of Quarren. He heard how Quarren along with The Doctor had found out the truth about the great war between the Kyrians and Vaskans. This led to a better understanding the two races ending hundreds of years of hostility. (VOY: "Living Witness")
Women visitorsEdit
These women visitors attended a presentation by Quarren at the Kyrian Museum of Heritage of USS Voyager role in the Kyrian-Vaskan war.

Gardner named USCAA Player of the Week
February 4th, 2014 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College freshman basketball player Ja'Breena Gardner was named the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) Women's Division I Player of the Week, the national office announced on Tuesday, Feb 4.
Last week, Gardner led the Pomeroys in scoring in their 83-24 victory over USCAA member Andrews University. In that game, Gardner scored a game-high 16 points on 50% shooting from the field. She also tallied a game-high 9 steals, 8 assists, and 1 block. Furthermore, she is currently leading the USCAA Women's Division I in steals with 4.6 per game while averaging 22.2 minutes per game.
Currently in 19 games played, Gardner leads the Pomeroys in total points scored (278), points per game (14.5), assists (50), and steals (84).
The Indianapolis, Ind. native has earned this honor for the first time in her career.

Being the youngest of four siblings who all attended Grove City College, I developed an early love for the school. As early as my freshman year in high school, my sister—studying economics—would come home during breaks, tell me all the fascinating things she was learning in her classes and recommend books I would like. I was immediately hooked and could hardly wait to apply.
Since coming to Grove City College, I have found the Department of Economics to be a wonderful combination of helpful and dedicated faculty and an ideal worldview of economics rooted in faith and freedom. The College is one of the few economic programs in the country that teaches the Austrian school of economics, advocating limited government and individual rights. It is guided by principles of liberty with a biblical foundation. The economics professors have become my mentors, and I've frequently gone to them to ask advice about classes, careers and opportunities.
Through Grove City College, I was able to acquire an internship last summer with Lawrence Reed, the president of the Foundation for Economic Education and a distinguished alumnus of Grove City College's economics department. Working for this organization, I was astounded by how well the College's economics were respected around the country in other Austrian economic circles. Already, I was able to apply what I had learned in my economics classes freshman year in my projects and discussions with students from around the U.S. and the world.

Complete Results (PDF)
SAN ANTONIO – The Penn women's fencing team wrapped up competition at the NCAA Combined Men's and Women's Fencing Championships on Sunday, securing 29 bout victories over two days after the men – with six qualifiers to the women's three – had won 66 on Thursday and Friday. With 95 points, Penn finished this season with a ninth place finish out of 25 schools that sent at least one fencer to the Championships.
After ending her freshman season as national runner-up in foil, Luona Wang was unable to make a similar run this year. Though she won 16 out of 23 bouts in the round-robin competition, she found herself in a tie with Ohio State's Mona Shaito. With Shaito having a score indictor of +35 to Wang's +28, the Buckeye was able to move into the national semifinals while Wang settled for a fifth-place finish, still good for Second-Team All-America honors.
In women's epee, Amrit Bhinder closed her phenomenal four-year Penn career with eight wins and an 18th place finish. Junior Gabby Foor won five bouts and placed 22nd.
Though the team slipped two spots in the overall national standings from one year ago, much of that can be attributed to the fact that Penn only sent nine fencers this year compared to 11 in 2012. On an individual level, this year was as successful as any season in recent memory. In addition to Wang's Second-Team All-America honors, the men's team won an individual national title for the first time in 16 years thanks to junior Michael Mills in sabre. Evan Prochniak added a Second-Team All-America showing in his senior season, while freshman Ayyub Ibrahim began his career at the NCAA Fencing Championships with a Second-Team All-America finish as well.

Having sex with your sister. A Dundalk prom date can be distinguished from garden variety incest by the fact that you have to pay your sister in order for her to have sex with you. Also worth noting is that no one will ever mistakenly believe that you actually had a regular, normal prom date because no one in Dundalk completes the last two years of high school. Hence no one in Dundalk has ever been to a prom.
I had a Dundalk promdate this morning before I went to the methadone clinic.
I still owe her $10 for the Dundalk promdate.

Five Ways Robots Move: Which Is the Best?
The first thing we did when we got our hands on the iPad was take it apart. Then, we tested a 32GB model for several hours, and it is an impressive piece of hardware—solidly built, elegantly designed; lightweight, yet substantial. Apple's custom-built processor is fast and the screen response is snappy. That's just what we'd expect from the product that has defined the category.
Thanks to a firmware update, iPad now has limited multitasking. Unlike some of its new rivals, however, it doesn't have a camera, it doesn't run Flash, and it requires iTunes to interface with other computers (but we've found work-arounds for the iTunes problem). Still, its App Store is the undisputed champion (naturally, we suggest downloading the PM iPad app), and the device may even be able toreplace your laptop—or become a wireless movie theater.
Operating System: iOS4
Processor: 1GHz Apple A4
Memory: 256 MB DRAM, 16 GB to 34 GB hard drive

In the tablet free-for-all that promises to characterize 2011, the Motorola Xoom will be a principal challenger to the Apple iPad. It hits one cutting-edge mark after another: Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system, ample power with a dual-core 1 GHz processor, a GB of RAM, and both front- and rear-facing cameras for video conferencing as well as shooting photos. The screen is big: 10.1 inches with a wide 16:10 aspect and a resolution of 1280 x 800. For now, the Xoom is a step ahead of the competition when it comes to connectivity. The first Xooms will launch on Verizon's 3G network in the first quarter of 2011, and the company promises that those units can be upgraded to the 4G LTE network in the spring. (Units shipping in spring will be on 4G from the start.) And HDMI compatibility means that the Xoom can share its video with a home entertainment center.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/3/2013 (1631 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brett CAMERON walked into the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offices on Wednesday, a man on his own mission, but he looked up to see a familiar face watching from the wall.
Yeah, there was the framed photo of his father, Bob Cameron, who played 23 seasons for the Bombers and remains the CFL's all-time leader in punting yardage. Then Brett signed on the dotted line, and when the ink was dry, the Bombers announced the news: They had signed the 22-year-old punter, who graduated from the University of North Dakota in December, to his first pro deal. "It's obviously something I've been dreaming about since I was a little kid," Cameron said.
Growing up the son of a Bomber punting legend set the stage for Cameron's future in the sport, no doubt. As a lad, he challenged Milt Stegall to sprints on the practice field. He watched as the Bombers went to the Grey Cup in 2001, the second-last season of his dad's Hall of Fame career.
These experiences were given to him, and maybe he inherited a leg that could kick. Everything else was work. There were so many early mornings at the gym, adding strength to what is now a 6-1, 194-pound frame; there were so many sticky summer days kicking footballs behind Churchill High School, when all the other kids were lounging on the beach or sleeping in late.
"I said to him, 'Do you see anybody else in those fields kicking the ball around? No,' " Bob Cameron recalled telling his son, the eldest of his four children with wife Louise. "Brett, when he puts his mind to it, he gives it everything he's got, in everything he does. The guy is way more dedicated and hardworking at his craft than I ever was at his age."
Let the numbers bear that parental scouting report out: Cameron was a starter for three of his four years at UND, and finished with a career punting average of 40.6 -- the second-best in school history. He had 30 punts of 50 yards or longer, and booted a 65-yard punt during his sophomore year.
Those are nice cap-feathers for a kid who came to the punting position a little reluctantly; as a teen at St. Paul's High School, Cameron started by playing quarterback and kicker. It was the comparison issue, you understand.
"I didn't want to punt, because I didn't want to be just like my dad," he said.
But the team needed a punter, so Cameron agreed: by Grade 12, he was pretty darn good at it, having punted well for the provincial under-17 team. It meant opportunity. "(Punting) was something that I could move forward, and would help get me a scholarship," he said. "That was always my main goal, to go to the States and play college football."
Now, having earned his biology degree from UND, Cameron finds himself launched into the next big challenge: Battling for a job against the Bombers all-star punter Mike Renaud, who he's gotten to know over the last few years.
"There's a lot I can learn from him," Cameron said. "I'm just wanting to get better and compete."
To give himself the best shot, he's heading to Arizona soon to train one-on-one with former NFL coach Gary Zauner, who helped shape NFL kicking greats Gary Anderson and Matt Stover. Nonetheless, the realities of cracking the roster are what they are.
"To try to unseat veteran players is very difficult," Bob Cameron said. "It's pressure, it's professional sports. At the same time, he's got an opportunity, and he's going to make the best of it. I've watched him develop. He can compete, there's no question. And that's what the Bombers want at every position."
A player can't inherit that desire, the drive to compete. Nor can they have it pushed on them, though some people assume with the Camerons, that must be the case. It wasn't. "People say, 'Oh, your dad must have been all over you, getting you to kick.' That's the furthest thing," Brett said. "His message has just always been work hard... He's a great role model and someone to look up to, but I don't want any comparisons."
In other words: that moment when Bombers training camp opens, he'll just be another Winnipeg kid playing for a future in the league, and for the love of the game.
"The experience and the pressure you feel in the game can't be matched in anything else," Bob Cameron said. "Once you've had a taste of it, you always want more."

Anthony Bourdain and Penn Jillett Give Their Views on EDM (Recap)
During a trip to Las Vegas for the most recent episode of his CNN show Parts Unknown, Bourdain lamented the city's shift away from elaborate stage shows to DJs and bottle service in a conversation with magician Penn Jillett of Penn and Teller fame, who's also not into any of this newfangled dance business.
"We get invited to all the openings of the new clubs, but I simply don't understand it," Jillett groused. "And I'm embarrassed that I don't understand it."
"Are we just old?" Bourdain pondered. "Or are we non-douchey?"
Bourdain then launched into one of his signature poetic diatribes taking down the Vegas scene. Read that - here.

Organizers of the interfaith seder, which will be held at the Highlands Presbyterian Church at 6 p.m. Monday, hope to unite followers of Islam, Christianity and Judaism, said Dennis Shuman, event organizer and founder of P'nai Or, Gainesville's Jewish Renewal Congregation.
Shuman calls the celebration the Children of Abraham Passover Seder because Abraham, the founding father of the Israelites, also has a prominent role in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
The event is open to people of all religious backgrounds, and to those who belong to no formal religion.
The event is limited to 140 people due to the church's capacity, said Shuman, who added he wishes more people could come.
"It's tricky to have a limited seder," Shuman said. "It's the exact opposite of what we're told to do."
Traditionally, the Haggadah, which is the text that details the story of Passover, says "let anyone who is hungry come eat with us."
The idea for the seder began as a counter statement to the 2008 bombings in Gaza, Shuman said.
The following year, he hosted a small event attended by 30 to 40 people in response to the international dispute.
He said he decided to host an event this year because of the current situation in the Middle East.
Thinking globally but acting locally is his personal civic responsibility, Shuman said.
"Bringing together people of different religions and cultures, having them share a spiritual experience that's relative to their lives seems to me like a positive thing to do in the world," he said.
This year, there will be assigned seats.
Each round table of eight will seat people from different backgrounds to encourage new friendships and to prevent followers of each religion from clustering.
Shuman said he has attended interfaith programs that preach tolerance but fail to spark friendship.
The event hopes to fend off triumphalism, a phenomenon that refers to a sense of religious superiority, by avoiding the use of the word "god" in his version of the Haggadah, Shuman said.
A blank space is used in place of the word.
"People can fill the blank with whatever they believe in," he said, "So they don't feel like they're praying to someone else's god."
The Passover Seder is traditionally a family event and not meant to be celebrated on a large scale, so the seder's size called for other adaptations.
The most radical, Shuman said, is his altering of the Haggadah.
The new, progressive Haggadah features scripts from both the Quran and the Torah, said Saeed Khan, a Muslim from India who is helping to organize the seder.
Many people don't know that the story of the Pharaoh's oppression is included in both religious texts.
Muslim prayers, called the "maghrib prayers," are traditionally recited during the time of Passover.
These passages as well as the usual Jewish prayers will be read in both Hebrew and Arabic.
Another facet of the seder is the potluck, Khan said.
To make things more inclusive for observers of kosher or halal lifestyles, the whole meal will be vegetarian.
Also, because it is against the Islamic faith to drink alcohol, grape juice will be served instead of wine.
"That was the amazing thing," Khan said. "Muslims and Jews are making concessions for each other. This give and take is what coming together means."
The Children of Abraham Passover Seder also differs from the standard because it is for adults only, Shuman said.
Children play an important part in the Passover Seder.
It is the youngest child's role to sing "Ma Nishtana," a prayer referred to in English as the "Four Questions," which asks why Passover is different from any other night.
Children also have the responsibility of finding the afikoman, a large piece of matzah that is hidden by the head of the household.
In some families, it is customary for children to steal the afikoman and to receive a reward after its return.
Instead of the traditions that include children, Shuman said he plans to hold introspective discussions.
For example, the Four Questions will be a platform for people to discuss their most profound four questions of the year.
"It's not about teaching people Judaism," he said. "It's about transforming a Jewish event into a more universal event."
The most conventional aspect of the seder is the basic structure of the seder plate, Shuman said, because its themes — springtime renewal and oppression — can be understood on a broad level.
Jack Donovan, the pastor at Highlands Presbyterian which is sponsoring the event, said Christians have a connection to Passover because of the The Last Supper, the final meal — a Passover Seder — that Jesus shared with his apostles before his crucifixion.
It was during this time that Jesus made his last journey to Jerusalem and along the way had preached about an individual's responsibility to tend to the community.
Donovan said he believes this "communal trip to salvation," as he calls it, is the point of coming together and discovering people are more alike than one may originally think.

POLICE investigating the death of a young Kuwaiti student in Bournemouth have charged her father with murder.
The body of 25-year-old Mashael Albasman was found in a flat in St Michael's Road on Sunday. She had died from multiple stab wounds.
Detectives were on Wednesday granted an extension to question Miss Albasman's father Faleh Ghazi Albasman and last night confirmed they had charged the 58-year-old with her murder.
He is due to appear before magistrates this morning.
Detective Inspector Stewart Balmer of the major crime investigation team said: "This is a tragic incident for Mashael's family and on behalf of Dorset Police I wish to extend my sincere condolences and sympathy to her family.
"The family reside in Kuwait and a Dorset Police family liaison officer, working in conjunction with the Kuwaiti embassy and international liaison officers from the National Crime Agency, is supporting the family and keeping them informed and updated.
"My team and I are working hard to establish the motive for an alleged fatal attack by a father on his daughter.
"I can confirm that we are not currently looking for anybody else in connection with this death.
"The investigation will strive to establish all the available facts and I would appeal to anyone who can provide information on Mashael's last movements, or who was in St. Michael's Road at around 12.30pm on Sunday, March 30 2014, to contact Dorset Police on the non-emergency number or Crimestoppers to assist the ongoing investigation."
The opening of the inquest into Miss Albasman's death on Wednesday heard that she was found in a first floor flat and her body was identified by a friend.
A full hearing has been provisionally set for July.
Miss Albasman came to the UK to study in November last year.
Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police in confidence on 101, quoting incident number 30:185. Alternatively, call the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 where mobile phone tariffs may apply

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/2/2013 (1652 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Toronto charity with bold claims about reducing youth crime is partnering with volunteers from the Winnipeg Police Service and two Blue Bombers to run lunch-time sport and mentoring programs at several inner-city schools.
More than 100 children at Hugh John Macdonald Junior High School gave a raucous reception at lunch-time Tuesday to 4 Life Foundation founder and executive director Peter Karl Youngren.
Youngren said members of his team will work with local volunteers to organize weekly lunch-time sport programs at Hugh John Macdonald and at five other inner-city schools.
Mayor Sam Katz, police Chief Devon Clunis and area MLA Kevin Chief, who were at the school event, applauded the program as an excellent example of a community partnership that can make a difference in children's lives.
"We have worked with tens of thousands of kids across Canada," Youngren said, adding he was grateful for the support and commitment of local organizers.
The 4 Life Foundation was registered as a charitable organization in September 2009, offering at-risk and disadvantaged middle school and high school students in-school and after-school mentoring and sport programs to divert them away from crime.
The sport and recreational programs are varied, including basketball, floor hockey, dancing, DJ competitions and life skills.
On its website (4lifefoundation.ca) and in brochures distributed Tuesday at the school, the organization states it is working with more than 26 schools in Toronto and has reduced crime, absenteeism and suspension among students at those schools.
The Toronto District School Board and the Toronto Catholic District School Board are listed as partners on the website. However, a spokeswoman for the Toronto Catholic board said 4 Life Foundation doesn't have a formal partnership with the board and questioned its claims of reducing crime among students.
"That sounds like a bit of a stretch," Mary Walker, communications supervisor of the Toronto Catholic board, said. "Philosophically, what they're doing is great but I don't know if I'd be comfortable with them laying claim that they've somehow reduced our suspensions. I don't think they've been in our schools enough."
A 4 Life Foundation brochure distributed at the school states it needs financial donations to support its programming: "Every dollar donated to the 4 Life Foundation helps another senior, a mother, a father, a son, a daughter, a brother, and a sister. With your support, we can continue to make a difference and change more lives."
Youngren said he is not a paid employee of the foundation. A former evangelical pastor, Youngren said he is no longer involved in church work and is now a consultant.
Youngren told the Free Press his foundation team works with local volunters in Toronto, Alberta and B.C., setting up programming that local volunteers operate.
Youngren told the inner-city students he understands the situations they face because he had a difficult upbringing.
"A lot of people go to homes in tough situations, I know a lot of you do and I want to share something about my life," said Youngren, who is the son of Canada's most prominent, wealthy and powerful Christian evangelical pastor, Peter Youngren. "I would go home to a tough situation and sometimes I can feel like there is no adult who cares about me."
The foundation was invited to Winnipeg as a result of a sporting connection: Youngren's brother-in-law is a former Toronto Argonaut who is close friends with Blue Bomber Chris Cvetkovic. When Cvetkovic heard of the success of the foundation, he contacted his friend, WPS Sgt. Danny Boyko, who got approval to set up local programming here and invited Youngren and his team to help.
Boyko said more than 100 police officers and cadets have agreed to give up their lunch hours to volunteer in the sport and mentoring programs at the six schools. He expects more officers to join the program.
Cvetkovic, and fellow Bomber Pierre Luc Labbe, have agreed to volunteer three days a week, alternating through the six schools, playing sports and every once in a while talking about problems the students face on a daily basis.
Youngren said the foundation doesn't provide financial support to the volunteers but added donations the foundation receives go toward developing programming at the local level.
4 Life Foundation
Offers after-school and in-school mentoring and sport programs to disadvantaged students, claiming it is "one of the largest anti-violence youth-mentorship programs in Canada."
Peter Karl Youngren is identified as founder, chairman of the board and executive director.
Foundation's website says its success relies on the "generosity of people like you who give of their time, resources and finances towards our vision."
Data contained in the Registered Charity Information Returns filed with Canada Revenue Agency show 4 Life Foundation had total revenue in 2011 of $44,836, but $42,100 came from government grants and only $2,625 in receipted donations.
Total revenue in 2010 was $43,325, with $42,245 from government grants, and $1,080 in receipted donations.
The major expense in 2010 and 2011 was the salary of about $36,000 paid to one employee.
The 4 Life Foundation website boasts it has been working with students in Toronto for several years but a review of the electronic databases of all major and weekly newspapers going back five years found only one reference to Peter Karl Youngren and 4 Life, an appearance last month at a Catholic high school in North York.
Peter Karl Youngren ran for a seat on Toronto city council in 2010, attracting 40 per cent of the vote. Later, Toronto's budget committee ordered an audit of his campaign expenses.
Peter Karl Youngren is the son of Peter Youngren, Canada's most prominent evangelical, who lives in St. Catharines, Ont., where he is pastor of the Celebration church he founded.
Peter Youngren is founder of World Impact Ministries, which focuses on international evangelical work.
Peter Youngren stages evangelical festivals across Canada, the U.S. and more than 80 countries, where it's alleged he performs faith healing, curing illnesses, including blindness.
Youngren's website (peteryoungren.org), claims he has attracted up to 600,000 people to a single service.
Peter Youngren founded Celebration Bible College and the World Impact Bible Institute.
In 2009, World Impact Ministries bought Christian TV and later rebranded it to Grace TV, Canada's largest Christian television network.
Winnipeg Pastor Mark Hughes of the Church of the Rock, writing about marriage and divorce in his blog in 2011 wrote, "Canadian evangelist/pastor Peter Youngren is getting married for the third time and that does not include the mother of his illegitimate child.How does one justify any of this?"
In 2000, Peter Youngren and Peter Karl Youngren founded the Toronto International Celebration Church, which they co-pastored until 2009, when Peter Karl Youngren left the church.

TPWD News Release — Oct. 15, 2007
BASTROP, Texas– City and state officials will come together Saturday, Nov. 3, to officially launch the newest Texas Paddling Trail. El Camino Real Paddling Trail is a six-mile long route along the Colorado River that begins at Fisherman's Park in downtown Bastrop. The trail will become the fourth inland paddling trail in Texas.
To celebrate the launch, the City of Bastrop will also host NatureFest, a day-long celebration of the rich outdoor ecosystem that encompasses the Lost Pines Region of Texas. The event will take place at Fisherman's Park in historic downtown Bastrop, at Willow and Farm, which lies at the heart of the Lost Pines. Admission is $3, children 12 and under are free.
Proceeds will benefit the Bastrop Education Foundation and Environmental Stewardship, a Bastrop-based nonprofit organization whose purposes are to protect, conserve, restore and enhance natural resources.
"Bastrop's rich natural and cultural heritage make it a great place to visit and live, and the addition of these paddling trails will only add to the appreciation many nature enthusiasts already have for the Lost Pines Region," said Mayor Tom Scott. "We are honored to be working with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department on a program that will enhance the nature tourist's knowledge of the Colorado River and its rich history through our historic downtown, our state parks and natural areas and throughout the Lost Pines."
With the backdrop of the lower Colorado River, the launch ceremonies will begin at 11:00 a.m. with the music of Bill Oliver, "Mr. Habitat," followed by a few words from TPW Commissioner Margaret Martin and a keynote presentation by Rep. Lloyd Doggett.
El Camino Real Paddling Trail is the first of six potential trails to be designated on the lower Colorado River, and begins where the legendary El Camino Real crossed the lower Colorado River in Bastrop. Next year, the "Wilbarger Creek Paddling Trail," a 14-mile trail, is planned from FM 969 Utley Bridge to Fisherman's Park in downtown Bastrop. Future trails include the "Red Bluffs Paddling Trail," and several more trails downriver to Smithville.
NatureFest is the first annual event in Bastrop celebrating the rich outdoor heritage of the region. Festival-goers will enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including canoe/kayak paddle events, children's fishing contests, nature hikes, photo scavenger hunts, pony rides, Native American drumming, bug and reptile shows, storytelling, arts & crafts, food and much more. In addition to Texas Parks & Wildlife, other organizations involved include Bastrop and Buescher State Parks, Texas Master Naturalists, LCRA's McKinney Roughs, Bastrop County Audubon Society, Boy Scouts, Sierra Club, Pines & Prairies Land Trust, and Friends of the Lost Pines States Parks.
Environmental Stewardship is managing the event on behalf of the City of Bastrop. In addition to helping to provide educational resources for the natural sciences department at Bastrop Independent School District, funds raised will also be used to establish additional paddle trails in Bastrop County and develop the Lost Pines Recreational Hike & Bike Trails at the end of the El Camino Real Paddling Trail.
Bastrop's roots run deep with its historic downtown district, the tranquility of the Colorado River and beautiful view of "The Lost Pines" surroundings. In 1979, the National Register of Historic Places admitted 131 Bastrop buildings and sites to its list, earning Bastrop the title of "Most Historic Small Town in Texas." In 2007, Bastrop was one of four cities named a "Texas Main Street City."
With a rich harvest of classic Texas folklore and architecture, downtown Bastrop represents a unique blending of the old and new. Visitors can pass along the old historic Main Street that is lined with century-old structures housing antique shops, specialty stores, galleries and restaurants. One piece of history is the 1889 Bastrop Opera House, which offers an array of entertainment.
While preserving its history, Bastrop offers the tranquility of the Colorado River. Visitors can fish or kayak down the river or have a picnic at Fisherman's Park. The area is also home to the majestic "Lost Pines" in Bastrop State Park where one can enjoy a leisure hike or drive through miles of pine trees. Take the time to stay at a number of bed-and-breakfast inns or hotels in the area including the newly built Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa. At the resort, families can enjoy golfing, horseback riding, hiking or swimming in addition to its beautiful setting in a pecan grove along the Colorado River.
The Texas Paddling Trails program was created to develop public inland and coastal paddling trails throughout the state and support these trails with maps, signage and other information. The trails provide well-mapped accessible day trips in a variety of settings for all levels of paddling experience. There are currently seven coastal paddling trails in Texas, and the Bastrop trail will be the fourth inland paddling trails, with several communities in the process of applying for participation in the program. Complete information is available on the TPWD Web site.
EDITORS: Kayaks and canoes will be available to the public for $20/person at the event. Thirty-minute introductory floats starting at Bob Bryant Park will be offered at no cost all day long. Members of the public are welcome to bring their own boats; please see the http://www.Environmental-Stewardship.org/NatureFest site for preferred launch sites.

What I Drank Last Week (May 19-25)
By Nikki Lincoln
As some of you may know, this week started off with a big event in San Francisco known as Bay to Breakers. I enthusiastically participated and after all was said and done, I was looking forward to taking a little break from drinking so no wine was cracked open for a couple of days. However, that didn't last long and by Tuesday I was back on the wine grind.
Tuesday I'd finally felt recovered from Bay to Breakers and decided to go to Happy Hour with a couple of work friends. My only requirement was that the place have wine so I was happy when RN74 was thrown out as an option.
My coworker and I were in a particularly silly mood and after spending zithromax overnight the whole walk laughing and joking around, I decided it would be nice to cool down with a crisp white. Ideally, when I want something cool and refreshing, Sauvignon Blanc is my go to so I was happy to see one on the menu, and extra excited that it was from the Loire Valley after having read about it earlier in the day. The wine was very light and refreshing with mild flavor and acid.
For my second glass, I decided to go for a Grenache from Southern Rhone. My friends all decided to follow suit and it was fun to see that they all trusted my judgement. This wine was big and fun with an earthiness to it. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to get a second glass. If drinking this wine at home though, I think it would do a little better having some time to breath in a decanter or passed through an aerator.
After the three glasses of wine, we were all in fine spirits and despite one friend having tickets to the Giants game (now close to being over), we decided to try one more wine. I thought it would be fun to try something I wasn't familiar with at all and went with the Louis Antoine Pais from Chile. The bartender then proceeded to explain the wine to me and warn that I shouldn't be shocked by the hint of bubbles since this wine was a little "gassy." Needless to say, my coworker erupted in a fit of giggles over this. I really enjoyed the wine and I love a bit of effervescence in a wine, especially when it unexpectedly comes from a red. Next time I come back to RN74, this is going to be the first wine I order so I can get a better idea of the taste.
All in all, it was a very fun happy hour both in company and location. I love when a bar has a great selection of wine by the glass since it let's me try more wines that I might not normally have access to. It's also fun to share my interest with my friends, as well as a bunch of laughs. I did feel bad about my friend missing the Giants game though so I promised next time we'll go somewhere that he can at least watch it.
SAUVIGNON BLANC, JEAN-CLAUDE ROUX QUINCY, LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE 2011 $12/glass
GRENACHE, PIAUGIER GIGONDAS, SOUTHERN RHONE, FRANCE 2010 $16/glass
PAIS, LOUIS ANTOINE LUYT QUENEHUAO, MAULE VALLEY, CHILE 2011 $12/glass
Macallan Finest Cut Event
A couple of months ago some friends and I went to a Macallan tasting event. I'm sure you've heard of these – they put you in a big pretty room, give you a free cocktail and then some samples while an MC shows you a video and explains why the scotch is superior to others. Basically, they're a really fun time to try a new spirit with your pals. So a couple of weeks ago when I got an email about another Macallan tasting event, I was caught off guard. Hadn't I JUST gone to one of these? However, upon opening it, I was pleased to find out that this was a smaller scale event at a local whiskey restaurant, Nihon. I enthusiastically signed up and invited a friend who went with me to the big event.
This event baffled me in the best way possible. Having been to plenty of events where the idea is to sell you on something, it was oddly refreshing to show up in a room, be handed two tasting coupons, and be told to sit anywhere and enjoy the free (very fancy) sushi. The only announcement that was made was to let everyone know that it was actually a charity event for the World Children's Initiative and that they were making a donation on behalf of all of the attendees. Well played, Macallan, well played. In addition to having great scotch (and an ice ball machine), you also have a place in my heart for just being really, really good people.
2010 Coppola Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon
After the Macallan event, we decided to go back to my apartment for some wine and GeoGuessr (the most addicting game on the Internet, I'm sorry). I was feeling a big red so I decided to open up the 2010 Coppola Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon. This actually ended up being surprisingly light for a Cab. I picked out some blackberry tones and felt that it was the kind of red that would be very enjoyable to drink in the summer. That particular note in red wine is nice in that blackberries aren't known for having an overwhelming flavor and likewise, this was a gentler red. I could imagine being able to enjoy it even on a warm day.
Price: $18
2011 Mirassou Cabernet Sauvignon
We decided to end the night with one more wine. This time I decided to open a wine I had received as a sample. The 2011 Mirassou Cabernet Sauvignon was much more robust than the previous Cab. The flavor was fruity and had more black currant tones than blackberry. The slight jamminess of the wine was a noticeable contrast compared to the Coppola Cabernet.
Price: $12
2011 Coppola Director's Cut Chardonnay
The next day brought us to Chardonnay Day and the arrival of Momma Lincoln. Lucky for me, this was a fortuitous coincidence as my mother loves Chardonnay. I decided to pop a bottle of 2011 Coppola Director's Cut Chardonnay in fridge as I waited for her much delayed flight to arrive. She was very happy to arrive at my apartment and be immediately treated to a glass of her favorite kind of wine.
The wine was very light with an almost floral nose that I presume to be the presence of the cloves that the tasting notes suggest. I hadn't had a Chardonnay in a while and had forgotten how different the acidity is than a Sauvignon Blanc or the other whites I'd had recently. It was interesting to think about those differences more and figuring out my preferences. More importantly though – Mom liked it.
Price: $21
2011 Pueblo Del Sol Sauvignon Blanc
For the rest of Mom's visit, I wasn't actively keeping track of the drinks we had because I just wanted to enjoy spending time with her. However, Saturday night, after spending the day rearranging my apartment and setting up some much needed wine racks, she picked out a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc she wanted to try. As it was a sample that I was given, I told her I should probably take notes on it… and I'm so glad I did.
This wine was exactly what I look for in a Sauvignon Blanc. It was very dry and acidic with a crisp apple flavor. I really enjoyed this wine and I am definitely going to find where I can buy a few bottles because this would be perfect for a picnic on one of those rare warm SF days or with some oysters.
Price: ~$11
Last week was a pretty busy drinking week for me so now that Momma Lincoln has left, I've decided to take a few days off from the vino. My big drinking this week will be at a couple more specific tastings so no wines of the week next week, but I'll try to post something regardless.

John F. Kennedy Jr., 38, Heir to a Formidable Dynasty
WASHINGTON -- John F. Kennedy Jr., a scion of the nation's most celebrated political dynasty, was reported lost and presumed dead in an accident that resounded this weekend with echoes of the family's many misfortunes.
<nyt_inlineimage version="1.0" type="main">
Jim Bourg / Reuters John F. Kennedy Jr. during a ceremony at the JFK Presidential Library in Boston last year.
Slide Show (18 photos)
Kennedy, 38, has been missing since Friday night after the plane he was flying to a cousin's wedding on Cape Cod failed to arrive on Martha's Vineyard. His disappearance in the prime of his life, like the deaths of his father, two uncles, an aunt and two cousins before him, only added to the perception that his larger-than-life family has been besieged by a near-biblical blight.
Kennedy, son of the 35th president, was touched by both the Kennedy charisma and its curse. The public ached in 1963 as it watched him, in his blue dresscoat and short pants, salute his slain father. It cheered as he emerged with his dazzling bride from their secret wedding in 1996. And as he sought a measure of privacy even while forsaking a career in law or government for a role in publishing, the public never ceased dwelling on his future and the swings of his family's fortunes between triumph and disaster.
Guiding his life was a scriptural passage, Luke 12:48, that was voiced frequently by his grandmother Rose and paraphrased by his father: "Of those to whom much is given, much is required." Kennedy taught English to underprivileged children, aided people who were homeless and disabled, and was a patron of the arts.
But like many sons of famous fathers, Kennedy still seemed to be searching for his place in the public constellation, the expectations for him as great as his father's legend was gripping. And he was conscious of his burden as an American icon.
"It's hard for me to talk about a legacy or a mystique," Kennedy said in a 1993 interview. "It's my family. The fact that there have been difficulties and hardships, or obstacles, makes us closer."
He was most recently founder and editor of George, a glossy journal of politics, but some of his family's admirers still hoped his venture into publishing was merely a prologue to a career in politics.
While he helped the Democratic Party raise money, he never ran for office. He made his political debut at the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, where he introduced his uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. Invoking his father's inaugural speech, which called a generation to public service, he received a two-minute standing ovation.
Cameras swarmed after him wherever he went, whether it was as a toddler playing under his father's desk in the White House, or as a young lawyer and avid athlete who was often photographed shirtless. In 1988 People Magazine called him "the sexiest man alive."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. was born on Nov. 25, 1960, just three weeks after his father, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was elected president. He was the first infant to live in the White House since 1893.
President Kennedy's funeral was held on his son's third birthday. In one indelible moment of family heartache and American history, the boy stood outside St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington with his mother and sister, raising his hand in a salute as he squinted in the sun while his father's coffin rolled by. His mother, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, had leaned down and whispered to him in advance to salute, a gesture the boy had seen many times as military escorts greeted the commander in chief.
After his father's death, his mother moved the family to an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Security was always a major preoccupation. When her son was six, Mrs. Kennedy commented on his maturity, adding, "Sometimes it almost seems that he is trying to protect me instead of just the other way around."
He attended a Catholic elementary school and was so rambunctious that Secret Service agents gave him the code name "Lark." But his mother worried about her children's safety, especially after Robert F. Kennedy, their uncle, was assassinated in 1968.
"If they're killing Kennedys, then my children are targets," Jacqueline Kennedy said at the time. "I want to get out of this country."
On Oct. 20, 1968, she married Aristotle Socrates Onassis, a Greek shipping magnate who was 29 years her senior, in part because of his ability to provide the family security.
Mrs. Onassis, one of the world's most fabled women, sought desperately to give her children a normal life. Once when John was 13 and mugged in Central Park, his mother said it was a good experience for him.
According to family files recently made public, Mrs. Onassis told her bodyguards that her son "must be allowed to experience life," and that "unless he is allowed freedom, he'll be a vegetable."
As an adult, John made a point of taking public transportation in New York. "I have a pretty normal life, surprisingly," he told Larry King.
He attended Collegiate School for Boys in New York but enrolled in 11th grade at Philips Academy in Andover, Mass. Breaking with family tradition, he went to Brown University instead of Harvard, graduating in 1983. He majored in American history and was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
He once appeared to aspire to be an actor, and participated in numerous amateur theater productions, but his mother worried that the stage life would expose him too much to the media from which she had tried to shelter him. Eventually, he enrolled in law school at New York University, mostly, friends said, to please his mother.
He failed the New York bar exam twice before passing, which allowed him to keep his job as a prosecutor in the office of Robert Morgenthau, the Manhattan district attorney. "I'm clearly not a major legal genius," he said after the New York tabloids labeled him the "Hunk Who Flunked."
After four years as an assistant district attorney, and a perfect 6-0 conviction record, he let it be known that the law bored him. As he left the district attorney's office, he told a friend, "I don't want to be just another passenger on a liner."
At 34, he started George magazine in a joint venture with Hachette Filipacchi, a media conglomerate. For the scion of America's most illustrious political dynasty, the magazine was a vehicle that both connected him to his family's past and enabled him to strike out on his own.
Kennedy, who did not use either his middle initial or Jr. on his business cards, observed in a 1998 interview with USA Today, "I think everyone needs to feel they've created something that was their own, on their own terms."
He appeared in George as both an interviewer and essayist. In a much-discussed George essay published in August 1997, he described his first cousins Joseph and Michael as "poster boys for bad behavior."
He seemed to enjoy being provocative, posing semi-nude in George and inviting Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt to be his magazine's guest at the annual White House correspondents' dinner in Washington last spring. Last March, he visited the imprisoned boxer Mike Tyson, whom Kennedy pronounced "a friend" who was "much different" from his public image.
On Sept. 21, 1996, he married a fashion publicist, Carolyn Bessette, on a barrier island off the coast of Georgia. The couple lived in Manhattan. He served on the boards of several family foundations and a number of nonprofit organizations.
Since 1989 he had headed Reaching Up, a nonprofit group that provides educational and other opportunities for workers who help people with disabilities. William Ebenstein, executive director of Reaching Up, said, "He was always concerned with the working poor, and his family always had an interest in helping them." Ebenstein said Kennedy helped expand the organization.
He also pursued his family's enthusiasm for all types of athletic endeavors. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound fitness enthusiast liked to bicycle, rollerblade, dance and throw footballs.
Not long ago, he flew to South Dakota to visit Mount Rushmore. Officials at the national shrine refused his request to rappel down the monument, although he was permitted to climb onto the 60-foot faces of Jefferson, Roosevelt, Lincoln and Washington.
He was sidelined after he broke his ankle over Memorial Day weekend on Martha's Vineyard.
Although he repeatedly played down expectations that he would one day mount his own political climb, the dream persisted. A few months ago, Alfonse D'Amato, the former Republican senator from New York who signed on as a contributor to George, said Kennedy would make a strong candidate for mayor in New York City, a suggestion that Kennedy laughed off.
"A public career is -- it's a lot to bite off," he said in a televised interview four years ago. "And you better be ready for it, and you better have your life set up for it, and you better be prepared to do it for the long haul."
Kennedy is survived by his sister, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, of Manhattan.

Jones burns effigies, gets citation
Published: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 5:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 5:57 p.m.
Dove World Outreach Center pastor Terry Jones was given a citation for illegal burning Saturday when he set afire effigies of President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton outside the church in northwest Gainesville.
Gainesville Fire Rescue Chief Gene Prince said the citation for outside burning was Jones' second, doubling the usual fine to $500. Jones was previously cited in April, when he burned copies of the Quran.
On Saturday, Jones held an event with several speakers on church property at 5805 NW 37th St. The effigies were torched to end the rally.
Prince said an accelerant, possibly diesel fuel, was used to ignite the effigies. Prince said that a third offense will result in a notice to appear in court.

When the holidays roll around, we often turn to our staple sweets like cookies, candy, and seasonal pies. While these tried and true favorites are always appreciated, have you ever thought about expanding your holiday baking repertoire? Why not try Christmas pastries?
Many home bakers cringe when they think of pastry. Many folks believe that pastry doughs are complicated projects riddled with pitfalls at every turn. While some pastries can be finicky—making puff pastry at home is certainly not at the top of my list of fun things to do—other treats, such as eclairs and cream puffs, are surprisingly simple to pull off.
Pâte à choux, the French term for the dough used to make eclairs and cream puffs, is a simple, versatile pastry dough. It consists of only four ingredients: butter, flour, eggs, and water. When piped onto a cookie sheet and baked, the little mounds puff up to create a light, crisp pastry that can be filled with almost any filling you can think of. Really, there are no limits when it comes to devising creative desserts with pâte à choux. They also make perfect savory treats when stuffed with cheese or meat-based fillings.
One of my favorite uses for pâte à choux is éclairs. For the holidays, I've topped the classic pastry with a delectably wintery mint ganache, making for a festive treat that maintains the bulk of its traditional roots. For decoration, you can sprinkle the still-wet ganache with whatever fun toppings you have on hand. Try crushed candy canes, colored sugars, or good old-fashioned Christmas sprinkles.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Herbert Hoover junior pitcher Allison Rager is not the quickest worker in the prep softball pitching circle, but the Huskies ace made quick work of visiting Capital on Wednesday night.
Rager, an All-State selection who has already committed to play college softball at Division I Morehead State, faced just 10 Capital hitters in Falling Rock on Wednesday, striking out six and giving up only a first-inning single en route to a 10-0 Hoover win in three innings.
"We carried over our good hitting from last night and are all just glad to be finally hitting the ball all through the lineup, from spots one through nine," said Rager, who had an RBI double and drove in a run in the first inning when she reached on a fielder's choice.
That hasn't always been the case in the early part of the Huskies' season, she added.
"We were struggling a few days ago," Rager said. "But everybody's hitting the ball now."
Hoover (5-2) won in three innings for the second consecutive day. The Huskies beat Nicholas County 16-0 on Tuesday night, and after a 2-2 start have won three games in a row.
Huskies coach Missy Smith said it was a good opportunity for the team to work on its focus.
"We're fortunate enough to be pretty good so far. If you don't get up for every game somebody can bite you," Smith said. "We're trying not to let that happen anymore. We've talked about focus and the mental game over and over and we changed our pregame routine a little bit to try and keep them focused the whole time so that when we come out for the first pitch we're ready to go."
The results showed Wednesday. Rager got out of the first inning after giving up a two-out single to Taylor Greenlee by eliciting a groundout from Capital clean-up hitter Courtney Burkhart. When Hoover came to the plate, Rager's mastery of the strike zone actually became more impressive by comparison to the control struggles of Capital starter Ashley Blair.
Blair issued four walks in the first inning, and a two-run single by Hoover freshman catcher Madison Bowles helped give the Huskies a 6-0 lead after one inning.
"We work really well as a team, so we kind of came out here and played the game we're used to," Bowles said. "We kind of carried over what we did last night and we got our win."
The Huskies received hits from all but two starters against Capital, which is playing its first full week under coach Gina Davis. Davis took over the position after former coach David Holt unexpectedly stepped down in late March.
"We've had two practices — both in the gym — and then have had five games," Davis said. "We have some talented girls but we need to work on chemistry and our confidence. We got a win at Princeton (Tuesday) but (Rager) was really hitting her spots today, and looking at that team it's obvious they've played together for a long time."
Rager was the only Hoover player that had multiple hits in the win, but contributions came from throughout the lineup. Junior Caroline Thornburg and freshmen Kelsey Naylor and Kristin Downey each had RBI, with Downey's third-inning single ending the game by scoring senior leadoff hitter Mikayla Craze.

A schoolboy who overcame crippling anxiety to set up a website that helps other young people beat their demons has been honoured.
Aidan McNulty, now 18, was named young Young Person of the Year at an event earlier this month for setting up TalkEasy, a website that lets young people suffering from stress find out ways of coping with their problems.
The Sutton teenager was in year 10 studying hard for his GCSEs when he became so stressed he thought it was having an effect on his physical health.
Aidan (third froom right, front row) at a reception held in his honour by Sutton Mayor Sean Brennan
He said: "I suffered headaches, nose bleeds and other symptoms and then made the mistake of going online and looking them up. I convinced myself I had a brain tumour and that I was dying.
"I shut myself in my room away from friends and family. I felt alone and isolated it was horrible."
Aidan, who goes to the John Fisher SChool in Purley and is now in the sixth form, managed to get over his issues but it made him realise there must be other young people who find themselves in similar positions.
With that in mind he set up the Talk Easy Trust that offers counselling to pupils around south London and became a mentor for another organisation supporting young people going through difficulties.
His work with the Talk Easy Trust has continued and he has now set up the website that acts as a space where teenagers can talk to trained young people about issues like exam stress, bullying, family problems and self-harming.
He added: "Young people need only go in our chat room anonymously to get help safely. If it is necessary we can pass people on to fully trained counsellors."
The service has proved to be a success and Aidan was named the first ever London Young Person of the Year at a ceremony earlier this month and was invited to Sutton Mayor Councillor Sean Brennan's parlour for a reception held in his honour.
Mark Scully, head teacher at John Fisher said: "Our entire school community is proud of his achievements as well as the concern he has shown for the well-being of young people here at Fisher, in other local schools and elsewhere."
Coun Brennan added: "It has been a privilege to meet Aidan. He is an inspirational and dedicated young man who has helped the lives of many young people across the country and continues to do so.
"His bravery in speaking about his experiences will resonate with others and encourage a more open dialogue about mental health."

A movement of workers,students and farmers who seek to make the US a communist country. It is a myth the communism has collapsed. The soviet union and the eastern block countries were never trully communist countries but were a type of system called soviet that still had many inequalites. The russian leader took marx's ideas that society must go through the stages of slavery,captialism and communist and said that wasn't true that it didn't have to go through those stages but can go directly from slavery. Marx also thought that as communism is arrived at the state will fade away. But lenin said that a strong dictatorship was needed to impose communism on society. The communist party has been around in the US for a long time but there has begun a new movement among the younger generations and that is what is called the american communist movement.
A am in the american communist movement.

VILLAGERS attempting to raise £350,000 to save their only pub are halfway to reaching their target.
In the last two weeks Horsley residents have pledged more than £175,000 to purchase shares in a company that aims to buy and operate the Bell and Castle pub in The Street, Horsley.
The Bell and Castle closed its doors in 2008 and since then has been the subject of four different planning applications.
The last of these, which included the building of three houses on the site of the pub garden and car park, was finally passed in 2012 and the developers Stag Developments Ltd have also rebuilt and restored the old building.
"Currently the building has to be operated as a pub, but if its viability as a business is in doubt the owners could apply for a change of use", explained Horsley resident Versha Carter, who is also secretary of the newly formed Bell and Castle working group.
"The same building is worth a great deal more as a private house than it is worth as a pub so we need to work hard to ensure its survival."
Now the working group is hoping to encourage other potential investors to come forward and join those who have already pledged.
"The momentum is growing and we have been very encouraged by the support we have already received," said Mark Carden, chairman of the group.
"To have a community-owned pub would safeguard its future and generate a sense of ownership.
"But most of all buying a share in the Bell and Castle is an investment in the village and something that keeps the community together."
Horsley already has a very successful school, a community-run shop and a church that has been revitalised by the 3-in-1 project, which uses the building jointly for church services, arts events and as a school hall.
The group hope to raise the £350,000 by the end of January.

Dear Human,
Proper footwear fit is essential to a fun day out (or in). Here's how to measure your pet's paws...
With your pet's paw on the ground, measure from the tip of the claws (those have to fit inside the shoe too) to the back of where the paw touches the ground, which is just behind the pad.
While your pet's paw is still on the ground, measure from side to side at the widest point of your pet's paw, which is usually near the base of the toes.
Handy Tip: Try having your pet step on a piece of paper, then trace around the paw. Then, while your pet is off eating your houseplants or terrorizing the neighborhood, you can measure the traced outline in peace.
