Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi Barcos en venta
Fountaine Pajot LavezziFlorida, Florida, Estados Unidos2009€168.62350
I sell my SOLAR POWERED, private owned, fully equipped for long term cruising, Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi 40 , BJ. 2009, 4 cabin version. The catamaran is totally equipt for blue water sailing. The highlight is the Solar Powered electric system, which offers the use of electricity like on land. 1,46 KW Peak Solar Panels combined with 2 big LiOnFe Batteries and 220/110 Volt Inverters/Chargers from Victron Energy. You can run all type of electronic devices, up to 2000 Watt on Board. 220 Volt is available in each cabin and in the saloon using the original installation from Fountaine Pajot. I installed an induction cooking plate, so you need no gas on board. For long trade wind passages is a Parasailor with 90 sqm on board, which offers easy handling on all winds from 100 to 100 degrees. The Lavezzi has the same hull as the following models Lipari 41 and Lucia 40 , from Fountaine Pajot. Only the upper part is different, what causes more weight. (approx. 2 tons). The bimini on the Lavezzi is very lightweight and offers a walkable area to work on the mainsail. I installed 3 Solar Panels on Top of the bimini which offers extra rain protection. The catamaran was bought from a german lady, who sailed it in Spain. I bought it in Sep. 2014. From this time I can send you a professionally survey with infrared scans of the hull. Before I left Spain to the Caribeean I secured the hull with 5 coats Trillux Gel Shield and new Trillux Antifouling, so you can be shure there is no Osmoses in the hull. I equiped the Lavezzi with new electronic from Raymarine, as there is a new Chart Plotter e-Series (Hybrid Touch), Active AIS and Radar. Also I installed a watermaker with 100 L/hours and an extra water tab with filter for drinking water directly from the tank. The water system I sailed the boat in the Caribbean and put the boat out of the water in Trinidad while the hurricane season. The catamaran is now lying in Panama, ready for a Sea Trial. Near by is also a travel lift available for further surveys. I maintained the boat every year in Trinidad, last the complete sail drive. With only 6.2 tons weight and 95 sqm, the Lavezzi sails very well. Together with the folding propellers, you can reach up to 10 knots through the water, with reefing like from Fountaine Pajot described. The STB engines has 2377 hours, the BB engine has 2433 hours. The saildrive is maintained in Trinidad in Jan. 17 (see pictures). For Further information see my YouTube channel (Lonley Lagoon channel) ( https://youtu.be/-HWh67n0xeo ) you find more details. I can send you also the survey and max. details of the equipment and electric installations. Last but not least I will help to sail the catamaran to your favorite area (Australia, US- East and West Coast, East Caribbean). The boat is ready for a Sea Trial in a Marina near Panama City (1 hour). A travel lift for out of the water survey is also there.MásVendedor Markus Schneider

Surya's USP is not just his style or panache, it's his fresh avatars in every film that get thumbs up from his fans and critics. His ability to pick roles and to do justice to it shows his passion for perfection.
A brief profile...
The actor was born to veteran Sivakumar and Lakshmi on July 23, 1975. Being a kid from a filmi family, Surya choose to stay away from glitz and glamour until he completed his studies. It is only after the completion of his studies, he turned his face towards acting.
Surya made his debut in the movie, Nerrukku Ner, which also featured Vijay, directed by Vasanth and produced by Mani Ratnam. He received mixed reviews for his performance in the movie. But he waited for more years to get his first major break through in the form of Nandha, which won him the Best Actor award from the state government.
Between 2003 and 2007, Surya delivered several hits like Kaakha Kaakha, Pithamagan, Perazhagan, Aaytha Ezhuthu, Ghajini, Aaru and Sillunu Oru Kaadhal. It also won him a lot of accolades and registered his name in the list of A-list stars.
Surya as Deva In Ayan
Surya played the role of a smuggler in Ayan. His good physique helped him to give the dynamic appeal to his character. His energetic performance played the major role in the success of the movie.
The movie was directed by KV Anand and produced by M Saravanan of AVM Productions. Tamanna Bhatia, Sivaji Prabhu and Akashdeep Saighai were in key roles.
Surya In Aadhavan
Aadhavan is a 2009 Tamil action thriller, directed by KS Ravikumar and written by Ramesh Khanna. Surya played the role of a killer but he had three different characters. His negative character won praises again for him after Ayan.
Nayantara, Saroja Devi, Murali, Anand Babu and others were in the cast. The film was a massive commercial hit despite getting mixed reviews.
Surya, A Top Cop In SIngam
Like the roars of a lion, Surya thrilled the audience in Singam. In the role of a cop, he entertained his fans with his punch dialogues and actions sequences.
Singam was directed by Hari and produced by KE Gnanavel Raja. It also featured Anushka Shetty and Prakash Raj in the important roles. Now, a sequel to Singam is being made.
Surya As Surya Reddy In Rakta Charitra
Rakta Charitra was Bollywood launchpad of Surya. Ram Gopal Varma directorial movie was a real life story of slain dons of Andhra Pradesh - Patiala Ravi and Surya Narayana Reddy, where the Ghajini star enacted the character of the latter.
Surya's fears look and deadly eyes impressed the Bollywood audience but the movie failed to impress Tamil audience. The film also featured Vivek Oberoi, Priyamani, Shatrughan Sinha, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Radhika Apte and others in the lead.
Surya's Dual Roles In 7aum Arivu
Surya came up with a brilliant performance in the role of a circus artist and Bodhi Dharman, a master of martial arts and medical remedies, in 7aum Arivu. It was one of the most toughest films of his career, as he sported contrasting avatars.
He learnt circus tricks for the role of circus artist for a couple of months, and for the role of Bodhi, he worked on his physique to give a perfect shape for the character. At some point, he portrayed a young saint with eight-packs and the old master with a paunch at the other.
Surya in the roles of conjoined twins
Surya has done the roles of conjoined or Siamese twins in Maattrraan, which is releasing tomorrow. The names of the roles are Vimalan and Akhilan.
Maattrraan is an action-thriller directed by KV Anand, who directed by Surya in Ayan. The movie also features Kajal Aggarwal and Sachin Khedekar in the important roles.
By then, critics have declared that his experiments within the commercial format and his ability to avoid being typecast have played larger role in his success.

Kerry's Battle Plan
After a Lazarus-like revival from the back of the primary pack, the lanky Massachusetts senator has repeatedly surprised political sages. Kerry overcame a ponderous campaign style to unite his party, helped Dems shatter fund-raising records, and has pulled ahead of a wartime President despite a growing economy.
Yet as he preps for his July 29 star turn, Kerry realizes that even a studiously centrist convention will still leave him a long way from his goal of the Presidency. Despite discontent with George W. Bush, a large swath of America feels it doesn't know enough about Kerry, his heart, or his soul to consider him as an alternative -- yet. And much of what voters do know isn't flattering, thanks in part to a GOP ad blitz. In a July 10-13 poll by the liberal Democracy Corps, 60% thought Kerry would raise their taxes despite his pledge to limit the bite to the wealthy; 51% considered him too liberal.
Kerry needs to change such attitudes, starting with a makeover in Boston. But with the White House accelerating the military disengagement in Iraq, he also knows he can no longer count on voter disillusionment with the troubled U.S. occupation to clinch the election. So as attention shifts back to the economy, Kerry has renewed his emphasis on jobs and the "middle-class squeeze."
His agenda -- a set of programs aimed at helping workers cope with rising health and tuition costs, the offshoring of jobs, and stagnant wages -- is complex and pricey. It's also a sketchy blueprint that, should Kerry win the election, will almost certainly undergo radical surgery when the candidate confronts budget reality and what's likely to be a hostile GOP Congress. At its core is a grand bargain: Kerry offers a $650 billion health-insurance plan and $200 billion in education spending, to be financed by rolling back Bush's tax cuts for families earning more than $200,000 -- about 3% of taxpayers. That could free up some $600 billion to $860 billion -- money the Dems feel could be better used to ease stress on working families and spur consumption.
But that would leave nothing for Kerry's pledge to slash the deficit. And if a GOP-controlled Congress balks at rolling back tax breaks for the wealthy, he would have to drastically scale down his ambitions, risking the ire of voters. Other potential problems: In addition to stripping the well-heeled of their top tax rate, Kerrynomics would hike their taxes on capital gains and dividends. Kerry sees this as a matter of fairness. But some economists worry that such moves could harm investor psychology and capital formation. "Cutting dividend taxes was the single most important thing Republicans did under Bush," says American Enterprise Institute economist Kevin A. Hassett. James C. Tyree, CEO of Mesirow Financial Holdings Inc., a Chicago money manager, backs most of Kerry's tax ideas, but says: "For future growth, the capital-gains cut is critical."
Kerry, however, believes tilting away from the rich -- who have more propensity to save than average workers -- and redirecting money toward "human capital" is a better formula for growth. "If we're going to be competitive in the global economy, we've got to dig out of our fiscal hole, fix health care, and have a more effective public education system," says former Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin, a Kerry confidante. "If Kerry gets elected, he'd be terrific on these issues."
Yet an expansive new middle-class safety net would come at the cost of higher taxes on affluent investors. While Kerry insists that hitting up the rich to help the middle class is worthwhile, many economists fear it will harm long-term growth. "Raising taxes would have a decidedly negative effect on the economy," says Mickey D. Levy, chief economist at Bank of America Corp.
Few economists have put pencils to Kerrynomics' overall impact. One of the first studies, a forthcoming paper by forecasters Economy.com in West Chester, Pa., finds that diverting wealthy taxpayers' cuts to health care would boost growth slightly -- by up to a quarter of a percentage point -- in the first four years. But then, Kerry falls far short of his pledge to trim the deficit, and higher interest rates crimp growth after 2009. "The boost only works in the short term," says Mark M. Zandi, the firm's chief economist.
As Kerry has climbed in the polls, business anxiety has deepened. "Kerry has a good chance in the fall -- but he has always had an anti-business voting record," frets Peter McCausland, CEO of Airgas Inc., a Radnor (Pa.) industrial company. Adds Edward M. Liddy, CEO of Allstate Corp. in Northbrook, Ill.: "If he wants to increase taxes, I think that's bad for the economy." But Kerrynomics is more complex than GOP caricatures, and Kerry's challenge now is to explain it to voters in a way they can quickly grasp. Among the key elements:
KERRYCARE The Democrat's top priority is a plan to expand health coverage while driving down premiums -- not an easy feat. Kerry would extend government insurance for children and low-income workers. Small businesses that can't currently afford care could join a national pool to cover their employees. For all employers, the feds would take over the cost of catastrophic illness. Finally, Doc Kerry would use new technology to slash overhead and waste.
Some conservative economists applaud Kerry's decision to build on the employer-based system. But they fear that the government, in a giant shuffle, would be taking on a huge commitment without doing much to control costs.
KERRYKIDS Kerry wants to spend $200 billion over 10 years to bolster public schools, hike teacher salaries, and offer tuition help for families. His College Opportunity Tax Credit provides a $2,500-a-year break to help pay for college. He vows to spend $100 billion to fully fund Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, a law that mandated tough standards but, critics charge, didn't provide enough cash. "Kerry's higher-education platform is critical," declares Chris Gabrieli, a Massachusetts venture capitalist. "For the first time, we are seeing a widening [income] gap on college accessibility."
But Kerry's education plans are under fire from both the Right and the Left. Republicans suspect that, in exchange for grassroots support, he will reward teachers' unions by watering down standards. "We need to stay the course on accountability," says Susan Traiman, an education expert at the Business Roundtable. "Resources alone won't fix schools." Others worry that Kerry shortchanges preschool programs and aid for poor children. "Middle-class programs are obviously more popular politically," notes Isabel V. Sawhill, a Brookings Institution economist. "But if kids fall behind early, they'll never catch up."
JOBS As the first U.S. leader since Herbert Hoover to preside over a net job loss during his term, Bush is vulnerable to charges that his policies have hurt working Americans. To spur job creation, Kerry proposes a tax credit for new hiring by manufacturers, small business, and companies affected by outsourcing. And he would end capital-gains taxes for investments held for five years or longer by some small businesses. But the record of targeted tax incentives is spotty. In practice, most of the cash ends up subsidizing jobs that would have been created anyway.
Kerry is also trying to slow the export of U.S. jobs to low-wage countries. He would end favored tax treatment of profits earned overseas by U.S. multinationals in an effort to encourage more outfits to locate in the U.S. That may sound unrealistic in a global economy, but Kerry offers two goodies to tilt the table. To entice companies to bring home profits earned abroad, he dangles a one-time reduced 5% tax on repatriated earnings. And he promises to cut the top tax rate for all corporations from the current 35% to 33.5%.
Kerry presided over a hot internal debate over this issue. More liberal aides eyeing funds for social programs objected to a business tax cut, but Kerry felt it was a smart symbolic move. "When was the last time a Democrat proposed cutting corporate taxes?" says top Kerry strategist Bob Shrum. "People like Ted Kennedy were saying: 'John, what are you doing?"'
If the gambit was supposed to please business, it flopped. Groups such the National Association of Manufacturers blast Kerry for hurting multinationals that already face stiff competition. "Kerry's proposal on foreign-source profits is upside down," says Dirk Van Dongen, president of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors. "It rewards high-cost companies." Adds Jon A. Boscia, CEO of Lincoln Financial Group in Philadelphia: "We have to walk a fine line between protecting jobs and impeding capital flows."
TRADE Business is agonizing over Kerry's "fair trade" policy -- especially since he put North Carolina's John Edwards on the ticket. In the Senate, Kerry was a free-trader but now vows to fight "unfair" foreign competition. He would slap a moratorium on new trade pacts pending a 120-day policy review. He leans toward labor's call to reopen the WTO and NAFTA pacts to toughen worker and environmental protections. And he claims he'll confront Beijing over currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, and dumping.
Amending NAFTA is largely symbolic, however, because enforcement of labor standards is virtually nonexistent in many developing countries. Bill Clinton engaged in a similar rhetorical exercise -- then proved his free-trade credentials by pushing trade pacts through Congress.
Kerry, in contrast, is a question mark, and could easily rile China with a raft of trade complaints. Scott Kriens, CEO of Juniper Networks Inc. (JNPR ) in Sunnyvale, Calif., worries that under Kerry and Edwards, the U.S. could "become isolationist and ignore global forces."
THE DEFICIT Kerry thinks a credible plan to lower deficits will put downward pressure on interest rates and reduce stress on capital markets. And he vows to lead by example. In a July 16 talk with BusinessWeek, he said: "I am absolutely committed" to deficit-fighting and pledged to trim his plans if he comes up short of funds. "Kerry will restore the policies that brought prosperity in the '90s," says adviser Roger C. Altman, chairman of New York investment bank Evercore Partners.
How? Kerry vows to bring back pay-as-you-go rules and spending caps that Congress let lapse. And he has already scaled back his aid to states and education in response to GOP ads that claimed he would have to raise taxes by $1 trillion to pay for his agenda. Like Bush, he pledges to cut the deficit in half by 2008. But also like Bush, his plan to do that is nebulous. "At best, this is a treading-water scenario," says Robert L. Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a budget-watchdog group.
Since neither candidate is showing much appetite for a fight to control entitlements, Kerry and Bush must spin gossamer dreams of another market boom -- and with it, a revenue-gusher that lifts all boats. "I believe we can have a tech boom again," Kerry insists.
But will we see a reprise of the Roaring Nineties? The huge corporate investment in info tech that underpinned the boom may be behind us. What's more, with defense spending rising, sopping up the red ink will be harder than usual. "The most striking thing about Kerry's agenda is that it's not Rubinomics," says Andy Laperriere, managing director of International Strategy & Investment Group Inc., an institutional broker. "He's claiming Rubinomics without having a plan."
Kerryites reply that they would be fools to roll out detailed budget cuts in the midst of a campaign. Still, supporters believe he'll deliver -- if only to pacify the markets. Says media mogul Barry Diller, CEO of IAC/InterActiveCorp. (IACI ): "I have known Kerry for 20 years, and I don't think he will run an Administration that is anything but centrist."
A cautious pol by nature, Kerry is unlikely to launch a spending spree. But investors rattled by talk of hiking top-bracket taxes on capital gains and dividends still worry that he might yank some spark plugs of growth. A new study by University of California at Berkeley economists Emmanuel Saez and Raj Chetty found that dividend payouts rose sharply after the 2003 tax cut. And Zandi calculates that Bush's cap gains and dividend cuts fattened stock prices by 5%.
Yet there's little hard evidence so far that Bush's investment tax cuts boosted capital spending or economic growth. So Dems insist repeal won't be a downer. "There is no established link between capital-gains tax cuts and growth," says Kerry supporter Laura D. Tyson, dean of the London Business School and a BusinessWeek columnist.
The bottom line on Kerrynomics? If elected, Kerry would put most of his limited chits on a bruising battle to swap top-bracket tax hikes for better health care. Other initiatives would fall by the wayside if a GOP Congress balks. On protectionism, Kerry-watchers wager that his bark is worse than his bite. And many budget experts suspect that given his domestic ambitions, he'll do more to shift the composition of federal spending than to trim it with an aggressive war on waste.
The result could be a standoff in which Republicans act as a check on Kerry's middle-class dreams. "Wall Street is beginning to think that this guy might win," says Gregory R. Valliere, managing director of Schwab Washington Research Group. But is there panic at the intersection of Wall and Broad Streets? Hardly. "If he wins, we will have gridlock. That's not bad at all for markets," says Valliere.
Kerry isn't fazed by such predictions. He vows to rally voters, Arnold Schwarzenegger-style, to sweep out Republican obstructionists. "If these people resist, I'll go to the country, and we will have that fight in the midterm elections," Kerry vows. "That's what leadership is about." John Kerry as political Terminator? Stranger things have happened.

Preventing disease and disability has been a major concern of the Arkansas Department of Health for a long time. In fact, the roots of public health can be traced back to 1832, when Little Rock's town council created the first city board of health in the Arkansas Territory.
Relatively few Arkansans died when yellow fever ravaged the Mississippi Valley in 1878, yet the epidemic's effects proved to be the catalyst to organize the first official state board of health in 1881 – which died due to lack of funds. When the Legislature moved out of the Old State House to the current capitol building for its first session in 1913, a permanent state board of health was appointed – seven members, all physicians – and moved into the vacated facility on Markham Street. Since that time the Board has regulated and generally provided supervision for all public health activities.
In the beginning, the new board of health focused on eradicating hookworm. A program to improve home and school sanitation was initiated, as well as a program to eliminate malaria through mosquito control. In 1918, Arkansas became the first state to require children to have a compulsory childhood smallpox vaccination in order to attend school. In 1919, the Board began a vigorous educational campaign against venereal disease after thousands of infected Arkansans were unable to join the Army during World War I. By the 1920s, with the assistance of federal and private funds, the Board had instituted inspections of water supplies and mandated sanitary requirements that practically eliminated Typhoid fever. An effective program for improving the health of infants and mothers caused the infant death rate to decline and life expectancy to increase, all before the end of the 1920s.
The Great Depression of the 1930s amplified the health problems of that era. Many people who could no longer afford private medical care turned to public health for assistance. During this time, thousands of immunizations were given to combat typhoid fever, smallpox and diphtheria.
By the late 1930s and into the 1940s, the Department had begun cancer and heart programs, as well as for safe water supplies and malaria control. It also stepped up efforts related to food safety and drug control. During the post-war era, more and more people moved into cities from farms, creating new needs related to city water and sewer services.
Also after World War II, public health centered on incorporating modern technology and conveniences into the existing health care and health protection structure. Many people, however, remained without access to primary health services. The anti-poverty programs of the 1960s directed attention to the needs of the poor. New social programs dictated new directions for public health while making possible the dramatic expansion of public health activities.
Beginning in the first part of the 1960s, Arkansas led the nation in tuberculosis treatment by developing a program that applied new theories about health services planning and implementation as well as the effects of modern medical technology and treatment. Short-term hospital treatment was a startling change from previous methods of treatment. Better diagnosis and new drugs made traditional sanatorium treatment obsolete.
From the mid-1960s the field of public health has experienced profound changes in its goals and structure. Exploration in new roles for public health work go beyond tuberculosis treatment and environmental control to encompass home health, Women, Infants and Children (WIC) programs, maternity and infant care, and youth projects and programs emphasizing prevention and early treatment of medical conditions.
In the 21st Century, our public health services continue to evolve and expand. New or updated programs and services today include:
In 1971, an extensive reorganization of government in Arkansas changed the duties of the Board of Health. Many of the powers that existed within the Board were transferred to the Department of Health, which became a cabinet level agency in the executive branch of government responsible for implementing the Board's regulations. The Board retained four very important responsibilities:
Today's Board is comprised of 24 members, including eight medical doctors. As we look forward to the challenges of the future in public health, the Board remains a vitally important partner and will remain an essential element in any reform or change in the health delivery system in the state.

THE modern man needs his own space, we appreciate that. If that needs to include reclining furniture, flat screen TVs and multiple references to football, then so be it.
But how much thought do you put into what potential girlfriends think when they see your bachelor pad?
Your pad reflects your personality
We observe, analyse and base much of our opinion of you on your home. Bookshelves stuffed with literature and travel guides show that you are wordly; plants and a well-stocked fridge show that you are responsible and leather sofas just scream 'bachelor.'
A survey recently stated that bachelors thought a "fully equipped kitchen" would most impress a potential date.
Well, as it's not 1952, I can assure you this is untrue. It also revealed, however, that most men favoured wood flooring, marble tops and fine art for their homes, which I can definitely get on board with. These show you have decent taste, a smidge of maturity and a flair for the finer things in life. All of which, women love.
Stained sheets, pictures of you and your ex, collections of comic books, action figures or pornography are no-nos. I'm afraid to say I've seen all of these at one point or another and did not hang around long enough to see anything more.
What women think of messy pads
Naturally, we appreciate a tidy home. If we get an inkling we're going to have to clean up after you it makes us feel like your mum. If your bedroom is extremely tidy, we assume you're either a naturally neat sort of bloke - great! - or were expecting company - kind of OK, too, if slightly presumptuous.
Mess is a huge turn off. I'm not talking rumpled sheets or an overflowing washing basket. I mean pizza boxes, dirty cups and that fusty smell that lingers throughout a room which hasn't had fresh air in five months. Once past your first year at University, this level of hygiene is unacceptable, whether you're expecting lady visitors or not.
And of clean freaks?
Having said that, I'm instinctively wary of clean-freaks. I believe in a healthy sprinkling of creative clutter. To me, anyone too tidy -- like when all the photographs are perfectly aligned and your toiletries are in alphabetical order -- reeks of serial killer. I briefly dated a guy last year and the first (and last) time I went to his house I was taken aback by how sparse his bedroom was. I'm talking bed, lamp, framed photos of child relatives and a wardrobe with four shirts and some boots. And I'm only assuming those kids were relatives. I thought I was being funny when I asked if he was planning to murder me. He didn't find it very funny.

Peter Hurrell obituary: a life in Thurlestone, Bantham and West Buckland
By Sam Acourt in Local People
A PIECE of Thurlestone, Bantham and Buckland has gone as Peter Hurrell was laid to rest on Friday, December 23.
An active member of the local community, people have said that they can't imagine the place without him.
Peter William James Hurrell was born in Plymouth to Ernie and Vera Hurrell of West Buckland on March 21, 1937. They lived in Wisteria Cottage until Peter was nine, when they moved to Woodlands in West Buckland. He never lived anywhere else in his whole life.
Peter attended the primary school in Bantham for a year, before it closed and he went to All Saints Primary School in Thurlestone, the same primary school his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren attended.
After primary school, he progressed to Kingsbridge School, leaving at the age of 15 to apprentice as a brick-layer with Scobles.
He delayed his National Service until after his apprenticeship was completed, and then joined the Devon and Dorset Regiment. He was posted to Germany and was there when the Munich Air Disaster happened that killed 23 people, many members of the Manchester United Football team.
Peter's son Simon recalls his father telling them it 'was so cold there, the Brylcreem used to freeze on our hair'.
After Germany, Peter was posted to Cyprus for six months during the conflict in the 1950s, acting as a lorry driver. The rest of his two years of National Service was spent in England.
Following his stint in the army, Peter returned to West Buckland and worked as a builder, starting Peter Hurrell Builders.
Peter met his beloved wife Jean Webber in 1959 at a dance in the Albion Town Hall in Kingsbridge and they were married in St Michael and All Angels, Loddiswell, in October 1962.
When they married, they split the family house, Woodlands, into two, with Peter and Jean having one half and his parents having the other. The land attached to the house is often used for the parish's mid-summer festival, carol services and apple festivals, with Peter's kind permission.
Their son Simon was born in 1963, followed by Andrew in 1967 and Michael in 1972.
Simon remembers his earliest memory of his father was 'helping' him with building work when he was three or four, carrying a little bucket of sand backwards and forwards and walking their old black labrador Juno.
They fished together too, 'We were coming back from Burgh Island one day', said Simon, 'and I caught a fish, it must have been nearly two-foot long, and as I reeled it in I lost it. Just at that second my brother Andy caught one.
'He'd caught my fish! We spent the rest of the trip into land arguing over who'd caught it since Andy had it on his line, but it had my hook in its mouth!' he laughed.
Peter was a founder member of Bantham Surf Living Saving Club, an original member of their committee, their first captain and the first coxswain of their rescue boat. He was also a member of the Hope Cove Auxiliary Coastguard for 30 years.
He was also a member of the Thurlestone Parish Council for 41 years, 21 of those as chair, stepping down from the role in 2014. He told the Gazette at the time that 'If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing properly. I'm very sorry to the parishioners but I cannot carry on as I can't do a proper job for them.
'I always aimed to leave when I was still wanted, not for people to say "I'm glad that old fool's gone".'
Peter spent a lot of time and effort fighting for his parish, and he battled to keep 'Thurlestone Sands' named as such, rather than being renamed as 'South Milton Sands' and was still a member of the parish hall maintenance committee when he died.
He sourced the photos for the book 'The Story of Thurlestone, Bantham and West Buckland: told with the help of old photographs', a collaboration between himself, Kendall McDonald and Neil Girling, and delivered the Village Voice, the magazine that is still written and produced in the parish.
Peter officially retired in 2002 at the age of 65, and his wife Jean died in June of that year. In reality, he kept working until he was 70.
A keen darts player, Peter was a member of the Sloop Inn, Bantham, and Pig's Nose, Prawle, darts teams for more than 40 years. He was also a member of Tug'O'War teams, once winning the Devon and Far Western Championships in one year, around 1976 or 1977.
His sons Simon and Andy won the same thing, pulling for the Forces Tavern in Blackawton in the 1990s, but rather than being impressed, Peter told them, with a glint in his eye, that 'it was harder in the 1970s!'
After he retired, he bought himself a motorbike and rode with the 'Loddiswell Chapel', the South Hams' answer to the Hell's Angels, but much gentler, only giving up riding when an operation on his hand prevented him from pulling the clutch.
A keen fisherman, Peter held a mooring at Bantham for four decades. After his first boat 'Jane', he bought the hull of a Plymouth Pilot, doing it up himself and naming it after his first grandchild Charlotte Louise. She was sold, but is still on the Avon.
Peter was dad to Simon and Sarah, Andy and Helen, Mike and Nikki, grandad to Charlotte, Katie, Tom, Dan, Laura, Matt, Jamie and Ellie and great-granddad to Owen, Hendrix, Aurora and Char's 'little seed', who is due in February. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Buy The Song The Day It Comes Out On Radio
Time to show my age again, but remember the 45 RPM single? No, huh? The thing with the big hole in the middle? (Help me out, Brother Lou Roberts!!)
It was always very exciting to be able to run out and get the song that you heard on the radio, although sometimes there would be a "wait time" before the song was available. But no more!!!
According to Gismodo.com:
The humble single has been given a new shot at life, an extension to the lease on its breathing machine, a little more food in its tube. Universal Music and Sony have begun a new policy called "On Air, On Sale" that makes music singles available the same day they hit the airwaves, in theory stemming the tide of piracy by making music available legally more quickly.
They're trying this in England first, from what I understand. I like the idea. They almost have no choice, the way music is being released today. You want everything instantly, right? So now you can have your new Alan Jackson song right away. You'll get used to it by playing it at home. Then you'll hear it again on a great station like WGNA, and you'll love it that much more. Kind of the reverse way it's normally done, but the effect is the same. We want our Country, and we want it NOW. So now you can get it!!!

Carolynne Scoffield Model
Kill JoyceArtist/Painter Male Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Mayhem # 1575568
About MeI'm just beginning my work as a fine artist (I am originally a poet), and I am working on my portfolio. My mediums vary from charcoal and pastel chalk sketching, to film and photography, to acrylic paint. One of my approaches is to do portraits of famous dead people by having my models dress up as notable historical figures of art, politics, and thought.
I joined this site for two reasons. One of those reasons is that it possesses a large database of photographs that I might look through and gain insight and inspiration, the other reason is so that I can meet varying models who might be interested in working with me. As I said I've only just recently (over the past few months) begun work as a fine artist, so I am not well known and my style has not yet fully formed, but I'm making terrific progress and I certainly need some experience working with models.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today released detailed results from two AWARD trials that showed treatment with once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg resulted in superior reductions in HbA1c from baseline compared to insulin glargine, with a lower risk for hypoglycemia.1,2 Dulaglutide is an investigational glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist being studied for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Results were presented at the 74th American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions in San Francisco.
"Many patients with type 2 diabetes reach a point when oral medicines alone may no longer be effective enough. In these cases, many healthcare professionals choose to intensify treatment with an injectable medicine," said Francesco Giorgino, MD, professor of endocrinology and metabolism, University of Bari, Italy. "Data from these two studies comparing once-weekly dulaglutide with insulin glargine, in combination with other diabetes treatments, provide important information about a GLP-1 receptor agonist that, if approved, may be appropriate for patients with type 2 diabetes."
Study Results OverviewResults from the AWARD-2 trial, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of two doses of once-weekly dulaglutide compared to insulin glargine as add on to combination therapy with sulfonylurea and metformin, showed that once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg provided superior blood sugar control at 52 and 78 weeks. Significantly more dulaglutide 1.5 mg-treated patients reached target HbA1c levels of less than 7 percent. Further, once-weekly dulaglutide 0.75 mg was non-inferior to insulin glargine in reducing HbA1c levels. Both doses of dulaglutide were associated with sustained weight loss, while insulin glargine showed weight gain.1
Results from the AWARD-4 trial the first Phase III study to evaluate a GLP-1 receptor agonist in combination with a mealtime insulin showed that once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg and 0.75 mg combined with mealtime insulin lispro provided superior blood sugar control at 26 and 52 weeks compared to the traditional basal/bolus combination of insulin glargine and mealtime insulin lispro. Further, at the 26-week primary endpoint, significantly more dulaglutide-treated patients reached target HbA1c levels of less than 7 percent, and patients treated with the dulaglutide-mealtime insulin lispro combination had 30 percent less total insulin dose. Both doses of dulaglutide, in combination with mealtime insulin lispro, were associated with relative weight benefit compared to the basal/bolus therapy of insulin glargine and mealtime insulin lispro.2
Hypoglycemia rates were lower in dulaglutide 1.5 mg-treated patients compared to insulin glargine in both studies.1,2 In AWARD-2, the 0.75 mg dose also had a lower rate of hypoglycemia compared to insulin glargine.
Adverse events were similar for dulaglutide-treated patients in both studies. The most frequently reported events were gastrointestinal-related, including nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Nausea, which was mostly mild to moderate, was the most commonly reported event. These findings are consistent with prior studies of once-weekly dulaglutide.1,2
"These results show that, compared to a commonly used basal insulin, once-weekly dulaglutide improves glycemic control, provides weight benefits and has a lower risk for hypoglycemia," Sherry Martin, M.D., senior medical director, Lilly Diabetes. "If approved, dulaglutide will be the only ready-to-use, weekly GLP-1 therapy that may be an alternative for patients with type 2 diabetes who need to intensify their treatment."
Once-weekly dulaglutide, an investigational GLP-1 receptor agonist being studied as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, has been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other regulatory bodies. Five AWARD registration trials (1-5) were submitted as part of the regulatory package. If approved, dulaglutide will be marketed under the brand name Trulicity.
Detailed Study Results
AWARD-2AWARD-2 was a randomized, 78-week, open-label comparison of the effects of once-weekly dulaglutide and insulin glargine on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes taking concurrent metformin and glimepiride. The primary objective of the study, conducted in 807 patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, was to evaluate whether once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg was non-inferior to insulin glargine in reducing HbA1c from baseline at 52 weeks. Insulin glargine-treated patients were titrated using a treat-to-target algorithm. Superiority testing was performed since the statistical criterion for non-inferiority was satisfied. Results showed:
The study also evaluated dulaglutide at the 0.75 mg dose, showing that:
Safety-related endpoints showed that:
AWARD-4AWARD-4 was a randomized, 52-week, open-label comparison of the effects of once-weekly dulaglutide and insulin glargine, both in combination with insulin lispro, in patients with type 2 diabetes poorly controlled on a conventional insulin regimen. The goal was to determine whether dulaglutide in combination with mealtime insulin could be an alternative to insulin intensification in patients who were potential candidates for basal-bolus insulin therapy. Patients were allowed to take stable doses of metformin. The primary objective of the study, conducted in 884 patients, was to evaluate whether once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg, in combination with insulin lispro, was non-inferior to insulin glargine in combination with insulin lispro, in reducing HbA1c from baseline at 26 weeks. All insulin doses were titrated to target. Superiority testing was performed since the statistical criterion for non-inferiority was satisfied. Results showed:

Swine Flu (Swine Influenza A (H1N1)): Taking Care of a Sick Person in Your Home
What are the symptoms of swine flu?
Swine influenza A virus infection (swine flu) can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. People with swine flu also can have vomiting and diarrhea. Like seasonal flu, swine flu in humans can vary in severity from mild to severe. Severe disease with pneumonia, respiratory failure and even death is possible with swine flu infection. Certain groups might be more likely to develop a severe illness from swine flu infection, such as persons with chronic medical conditions. Sometimes bacterial infections may occur at the same time as or after infection with influenza viruses and lead to pneumonias, ear infections, or sinus infections.

Hard Rubber Orchestra Tribute to the Great Kenny Wheeler
Fei & Milton Wong Experimental Theatre, Saturday October 19
On October 19, 2013 The Hard Rubber Orchestra will play an entire evening of music - including the premiere of a new commissioned work - by Jazz Legend Kenny Wheeler. Wheeler (b. Toronto, 1930) is one of the world's best known jazz musicians and undeniably one of the greatest master composers for the jazz orchestra.
His compositions are hugely influential, often imitated, and unique to the world of jazz and large ensemble composition. At 83, Wheeler, who is presently a resident of London England, is no longer able to travel or perform but is still highly active as a composer. It is an unprecedented honour for us to play a commissioned work by one of history's great composers for the jazz orchestra, especially from this period of his life and career. Guest soloists will be Phil Dwyer on saxophone and Mike Herriott on trumpet.
Guest conductor will be trombonist/ pianist Hugh Fraser.
Cross Border Jazz Presents: Piano Legend Larry Willis & Mike Dirubbo
Jazz Cellar, October 25 & 26, 2013
Featuring LARRY WILLIS piano, MIKE DIRUBBO alto saxophone, KEN LISTER bass, JULIAN MACDONOUGH drums.
A protégé of Jackie McLean's (he studied with the late, great alto sax master at the Hartt School during the late '80s), Connecticut native Mike DiRubbo has a big, bold alto tone, an unerring time feel and remarkable facility on the instrument. Those qualities are put to good use in this stripped-down, revealing duo setting with veteran pianist Larry Willis, a consummate orchestral accompanist and accomplished soloist. The two demonstrate uncanny telepathy throughout their intimate dialogues on Monk's "Round Midnight," Horace Silver's "Peace," the standards "Star Eyes" and "Alone Together" and DiRubbo's lyrical "Introspection," which finds him singing through his alto with relaxed gusto.
Returning to Vancouver – The Sacred Music of Duke Ellington
St. Andrew's-Wesley United Church, Thursday November 14th at 7:30pm
Internationally-renowned artists to be featured in a benefit concert at St. Andrew's-Wesley United Church.
Duke Ellington is best remembered as perhaps the finest and most influential composer in the history of American jazz. He was also a man of deep spiritual convictions. Late in his career, he wrote three programs of inspirational music between 1965 and 1973 that blended his peerless tonal artistry with the celebratory energy of classic gospel music. Ellington's last sacred concert was performed only seven months before his death, and although very ill, he gave an inspiring performance of his sacred music classics.
Don't miss this amazing production on Thursday, November 14th at 7:30 p.m. Tickets: www.eventbrite.ca

Featuring CORY WEEDS tenor saxophone, STEVE DAVIS trombone, TILDEN WEBB piano, KEN LISTER bass, JESSE CAHILL drums
In January 2013 Juno nominated tenor saxophonist CORY WEEDS teamed up with trombonist extra-ordinaire STEVE DAVIS to form a phenomenal quintet.

The results of that magical night can be heard on the brand new 'Let's Go' recording available for the first time this weekend. Steve Davis is widely regarded as one of today's leading improvisers on the trombone. His lyrical, hard-swinging style first gained him broad recognition during the 1990's while working with the bands of jazz legends Art Blakey, Jackie McLean, Chick Corea's Origin and the cooperative sextet, One For All. Steve has appeared in Downbeat Magazine's Reader's and Critic's Polls numerous times, winning the TDWR (Risng Star) Trombone Category in 1998.

"Though compared to Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, she sounds like no one but herself. "— Los Angeles Times
Only a unique confluence of cultural influences could produce an artist as strikingly original as Buika, who has earned a devoted cadre of fans and collaborators ranging from celebrated filmmaker Pedro Almódovar to musicians Seal, Rachelle Ferrell, Anoushka Shankar and Nelly Furtado. Born in Spain to parents in political exile from Equatorial Guinea, she grew up on the Spanish island of Mallorca. She was exposed to great jazz singers by her mother and forged a breathtaking, soul-drenched vocal style combining traditional Spanish-Gypsy laments of flamenco with soul and jazz improvisation. A commanding performer with a husky, crushed-velvet voice, Buika saw her career catch fire in 2009 with El Último Trago, a collaboration with Cuban piano giant Chucho Valdés. And during Chick Corea's recent month-long residency at the Blue Note in New York, Buika was featured in his stunning flamenco ensemble.
Buika is joined by one of Cuba's top jazz pianists Ivan Gonzalez Lewis & percussionist Ramon Suarez Escobar.

Jazz Wrapper
Two years ago, the Jazz Festival moved its outdoor street celebration from Gastown to the heart of the city—the historic grounds of the Vancouver Art Gallery/Robson Square. It became an instant hit and drew rave reviews from musicians, audiences, sponsors, and volunteers. Now, in an effort to further improve the site for festivals and events, and to create a prominent public gathering space we can all be proud of, the City of Vancouver is asking citizens for input regarding several re-design concepts for the north plaza.
We've had an opportunity to view all three design options and we're particularly excited by the iconic character of Option #3 with its Plalo Ring feature. This concept best serves the needs of the Jazz Festival and would be a magnet for residents and visitors alike.
So, we urge you to go online and state your preference for Option #3.
You can log in here and then click on the blue bar on the right of your screen that reads "Share Your Views." You have until October 22 to express your views.

The Easter Bunny has been unkind to Donald Trump. On Tuesday his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was charged with "battery" after a reporter alleged that the former state trooper had yanked, and bruised, her arm at a campaign event. Trump defiantly dismissed the claims and urged people to watch the video of the incident, which police in Florida police released after charging Lewandowski.
In a campaign that has made House of Cards seem tame, it transpired that one of the lawyers representing Lewandowski resigned as a top prosecutor in Florida in 1996 after being accused of biting a stripper. Speaking to reporters on his plane, Trump said he had urged Lewandowski to fight the charges. Texas senator Ted Cruz and Ohio governor John Kasich, the other Republican contenders, slammed Trump over the case. Read more

Dhaka Trips
As you might imagine, Dhaka, the capital of one of the world's most densely populated countries, presently home to some 12 million people, is a hectic and lively place, tricky to explore without occasionally bumping into people. To help with its traffic issues, Dhaka has become the world capital of rickshaws. Taking advantage of this colourful mode of transportation is an excellent way to take in the scenery in an environmentally conscious manner.
One of South Asia's largest urban settings, the chaotic mega-city of Dhaka sprawls along the banks of the Buriganga River near the centre of the country. As the hub of Bangladesh's economic, educational and political affairs, it continues to expand and modernise. The National Parliament of Bangladesh is one of the city's most notable architectural attractions, completed in 1981. Constructed with reinforced concrete and impenetrable brickwork, the Bangladesh seat of government is a monumental Soviet-style civic fortress and one of the largest legislative complexes in the world. Since embracing the free market, a slew of glassy sky-scrapers are the latest addition to the city's changing landscapes, but Dhaka is also known as the City of Mosques and Muslin, long celebrated for its history and cultural traditions.Read more
Old Dhaka is located on the north bank of the waterfront, recalling the age when the city boasted wealth and influence as an important Moghul trading centre. The history of the city's evolution is charted by the National Museum, a bastion of Bangladesh's Hindu and Buddhist heritage. Nearby, the main embankment, Sadarghat, is bustling with activity, the waters below crowded with numerous ferries, fisherman's boats and floating dhabas. Look out for the baroque-style palace, Ahsan Manzil, which is painted a stylish shade of bright pink.

REDDITCH'S Abbey Hotel has recently benefitted from a £250,000 boost.
The family owned four star hotel, which won the TripAdvisor certificate of excellence in 2013, invested the cash on refurbishing its classic rooms and Royal Suite.
Work on the Royal Suite began in January and was completed this week while all classic rooms are being revamped with new flat screen televisions, windows, and stylish bathrooms.
Phillip Allsopp, from the hotel, said he is delighted with the results:
"I am excited by the ongoing major investment," he said.
"This shows our commitment in transforming The Abbey Hotel into one of the Midlands' premier resorts and making us the first choice destination whether it be for business or pleasure."

A greater number of home buyers are turning to mortgage brokers when they take out a home loan as the property market heats up.
New figures show almost half of all home loan borrowers used a broker to choose a mortgage in the September quarter as buyers rush to take advantage of record low interest rates.
Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia chief
"In the September quarter, it [activity] has bumped that up a bit more. And what we are hearing from the major broking groups in October and November to date is that they are writing a lot of business so we would expect that percentage to be maintained and most likely increase," Mr Naylor said.
According to the MFAA's figures, mortgage brokers wrote 46 per cent of all home loans taken out in the three months to the end of September, amounting to $32 billion.
This compares to about 40 per cent 18 months ago and a low of 38 per cent during the global financial crisis.
The big four banks significantly cut down on their use of brokers to sell loans in the aftermath of the GFC but have stepped this up this year as low interest rates fire up the mortgage market.
"I think the market as a whole is coming back more strongly but I think consumers are also looking more and more for a professional who can give them advice about credit," Mr Naylor said.
In a sign that record low interest rates are fuelling the property market, figures released last week showed the total number of home loans approved rose 4.4 per cent in September, the biggest gain in six months.
However, the market was driven by cashed-up investors, with first-home buyers accounting for just 12.5 per cent of loans as they were priced out of the market.
"The flurry of investor activity over the past few months has seemingly come at the expense of first-home buyers, with the proportion of new loans held by this price- and interest-rate sensitive buyer group falling to a new all-time low," JP Morgan economist
"Low interest rates and a recovering property market are helping boost activity in the home finance space. Nearly every state is showing double-digit growth for the first quarter," Mr De Martino said.
"First-home buyers are competing with cashed-up investors and upgraders who have significant equity in their property."
As the home loan market takes off, Mr Naylor said smaller lenders were winning a greater share of business from mortgage brokers, taking the competition to the big four banks.
"It is too early to draw a wide conclusion on it, but there seems to be a dispersion of business into the second tier lenders, which is good from a competitive point of view," he said.
"So, whilst the major lenders are writing the bulk of the business, there just seems to be a swing to the tier-two lenders, who are writing more broker business. The broker channel is helping with competition."

The 15th edition of the Stick it to Cancer women's hockey tournament at the Schwan's Super Rink once again help raise money to be donated to the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of Minnesota.
To help encourage fund-raising, the two teams that raised the most money were able to use one of Team USA's exclusive locker rooms for the weekend. The other perk came on the ice as the more money a team raised broke tie-breakers.
While the final official totals have yet to be tallied, as of April 22, Olsen Fish Company Elks under-14 and under-12 teams hold the top two positions with Dakota Destroyers U12 third on the donation list.
Olsen Fish Company, based in Elk River, is the three-time defending champion. The U14 team has raised $9,578 so far. The U12 Elks team has raised $6,978 and Dakota Destroyers $3,470.
Ninety-eight teams made up of seven-year-olds to players in their 60s competed in nine classes and 16 divisions. They were mainly from Minnesota, but teams from North Dakota, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada, also took part.
All tournament registration fees in addition to other money raised during the weekend went toward funding cancer research. Referees and administrators also donated time to help raise even more money.
Tournament Co-Director Dustin Snyder said the final amount raised wouldn't be known for a few weeks as donations tend to trickle in well after the final whistle was blown on the tournament.
From the amount raised to date, the event should surpass the $86,000-plus collected in 2012.
April 20 was known as "Pink the Rink Day" as participants and spectators turned many items into pink to signify support for those battling cancer, survivors or memorials of those lost to cancer.
Tournament staff were easy to find as they each wore hot pink Zubaz pants.
Players used pink stick tape not only on their sticks, but one team creatively formed mohawks on top of the helmets. Other teams wrapped legs or gloves in pink tape. Some teams had specially made pink jerseys and others wrapped helmets in pink scarves. The part of the skate which holds the blade was also pink along with pink laces on more than a few skates.
Referees got into the act with pink ribbons on their uniform and some added pink laces.
Participants took out ads in a program to memorialize those affected on the team. Some players wore black arm bands if they were survivors or playing for someone who had succumbed to cancer.
Players also wrote messages on the sticks to show who they were playing for.
Fans in the stands and even coaches got in on the act.
The Mound-based Warriors Women's CI North Division team found pink sequined hats for their three coaches to wear on the bench.
Coach Mike Curti said he enjoyed the flashy hats, which the team provided ahead of its first game.
The Warriors lost 2-1 in the championship game to You've Just Been Chicked.
Festivities in the viewing area included a 10-foot high hockey player made out of balloons. Local businesses supplied coupons which were inside the balloons. Anyone could purchase a balloon and pop it any way they could to find the coupon.

SFC Leadership Contract
The purpose of this agreement is to build a stronger, healthier Christian community of leaders within SFC. It's not meant to be a list of do's and don'ts, but rather an honest agreement to respect others and honor God with our lifestyles and life choices while leading a chapter of SFC.
Please initial each item as a sign that you have read and agree.
I am a leader of SFC ___________.
This is a required question
First and foremost, as part of the SFC leadership team, I am here to serve and put God first in all things (before snowboarding/skiing, my job, this program, future plans, relationships, etc.) and grow in my relationship with Him.
1 Peter 4:11 "If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ." Matthew 6:33 "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well."
This is a required question
Secondly, I hope to honor God in all of my decisions. I will take time out of my schedule to help others and share the gospel with both words and actions when necessary.
Hebrews 12:14 "Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy. Without holiness no one will see the Lord." Ephesians 5:21 "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."
This is a required question
I will be sensitive to my company and if I am old enough to drink, I mean to only drink when it will be of no offense to anyone around me. Even then, I will exercise responsibility and drink in moderation. If smoking, I will excercise the same responsibility and moderation.
Hebrews 12:15 "See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many."
This is a required question
If involved in a romantic relationship, I wish to honor my partner and God in all of my thoughts and actions. I would also consider seeking an accountability partner/mentor of my same sex to advise me in my relationship. "

Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed." Luke 14:28 "But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?"
This is a required question
I will find a mentor who will hold me accountable in my actions and can help me grow in my relationship with the Lord. In addition, I will remain accountable to the USA Director and to my leadership team in order to ensure I am living life to the full, the way Christ would have me live.
This is a required question
I understand the SFC USA Director/Board has the right and duty to take the steps he/she deems necessary to help me grow(including relieving me of my duties) upon the breaking of this agreement.

Hazel Langrall sees a bright future for Butler Creek and the community it serves.
"Augusta has the canal, and North Augusta has the Greeneway," she said. "So why not south Augusta, too?"
This fall, the Central Savannah River Land Trust will open the first link in a planned network of trails designed to showcase the creek's natural beauty and preserve its historic charm.
"When the city first got this property, it was full of trash – tons of trash," said Langrall, the trust's executive director.
Five years of planning, combined with a $100,000 state grant and generous aid from volunteer groups, helped create the Lombard Mill Pond Trail, which meanders along a revegetating floodplain off Deans Bridge Road.
From a trail head on Old Highway 1, the paved entrance leads to a handicapped accessible entrance with a boardwalk and deck overlooking the site of Lombard Pond, where a 19th-century grist mill and granary once thrived.
Today, its moss-covered ruins include ancient beams, iron machinery and layers of brick worn smooth by a century of water.
The pond is long gone, having been drained when portions of the dam were removed decades ago. Today, the creek meanders through its open plain packed with wildflowers and aquatic vegetation.
"If you look at this area, it's a visual of how man can affect nature, and how nature can recover and take control again," Langrall said.
The land trust, which manages the city of Augusta's green-space program, hopes to tie the Lombard Mill Pond site with other parcels along Butler Creek to create a network of trails that will extend from Fort Gordon to Phinizy Swamp and the Savannah River.
The current trail, just longer than a quarter mile, will someday be expanded with bridges and boardwalks to become 2.5 miles. More trails can be added.
To complete the entire corridor, the trust would need access to almost 600 acres. About 411 acres along the creek are owned by the trust or under easements that will prevent them from being developed.
Although recreation is a facet of the trust's mission of protecting stream buffers, preserving riparian pathways also has important environmental benefits.
"When you keep buffers natural, it helps filter the water supply and improves water quality," she said. "In developed areas, there is so much stuff flowing into it from neighborhoods, highways and backyards."
A ribbon-cutting is planned for Oct. 19, but residents may use the area now, including parking pads at the trail head.
"We have a wonderful resource here," she said. "People just need to have a way to access it."

Pool safety for kids
This past weekend my parents' next door neighbor lost their 2-year old son when he wandered out of the house and fell into the pool. It's a terrible tragedy. I can only imagine how hard things are for the family right now. I also hope though that people do not simply pass this off as another tragedy. Please let us all learn something from this. Pools are the second highest cause of injury-related death for children (after automobile accidents). A lot of people around here probably have swimming pools, as this is a warm and fairly affluent area. Please, if you have a pool, keep it protected. Make sure it has a sturdy cover, and/or a strong securable fence that goes around it. Even if you don't have children, you never know when a neighbor child could wander in. These deaths are so easily prevented. Don't let it be your child, or the child of someone you care about next.
