The time a student spends at a GFA Bible college is very intense but also very rewarding for his spiritual growth and future ministry.
Summer outreach is a means through which students at Gospel for Asia's 67 Bible colleges have the opportunity to participate in hands-on outreach along with their training in the classroom. And for a group of GFA Bible college students in Maharashtra, despite the opposition, their time of summer outreach recently yielded encouraging results.
The students reached out to people in 125 villages in a month's time, handing out thousands of pieces of Gospel literature. They were able to minister personally to many individuals with particular needs, including a man named Bajun and a woman named Jamuna.
Bajun suffered from pain in his legs. A team of women students told him about Jesus and prayed for his healing, applying oil to his legs according to the biblical instruction in James 5:14.
As the women prayed for Bajun, he experienced Christ's healing touch in both his legs. Following his healing, Bajun gave his heart to Jesus.
Jamuna had swelling in her body. Some women students from the Bible college met her and shared the Gospel with her. Jamuna trusted in Christ and asked the women to pray for her. The students joined in prayer—and the Lord healed Jamuna completely! Through this healing, six families received Christ.The students reached out to people in 125 villages in a month's time, handing out thousands of pieces of Gospel literature.
Menaka was crippled from childhood. One of the women's teams from the Bible college told her about Jesus and prayed for her. God worked through her prayers, and Menaka was able to walk slowly without any assistance!
Some struggles were more directly related to the spiritual darkness found in the area.
Amija had suffered as a victim of black magic for a long time. Some women from the Bible college shared the Gospel with her. Convinced that she needed a Savior and that Jesus could free her, Amija put her trust in Him.
A married couple was on the verge of committing suicide. They were driven to such desperation because their son was beating them due to their involvement in black magic. Unable to bear the pain and shame, they decided to end their lives. But at that moment, the Lord sent a team of women Bible college students to visit them.
The women told them about God's love and the couple's need for salvation through Christ. Listening to the Gospel message, this husband and wife were each convinced of their sinfulness and need for a Savior. At the end of the conversation, the couple received Christ.
Preeti was tormented by an evil spirit. Her family tried their best to find deliverance for her, yet their efforts were futile. But around this time, women from the Bible college met this family and shared the Good News of Jesus. The Lord miraculously delivered Preeti from the bondage of the evil spirit. Today she is well and believes in Jesus.
Even though overall the ministry was well-received, some of the students did encounter opposition.
A team of male students came across a radical anti-Christian group that opposed them and threatened them not to share the Gospel in their area. By God's grace, they were spared from harm.
Praise God for the many hearts that were touched through the summer outreach. Please pray that the Lord will keep these Bible college students close to Himself and use them to spread the Gospel to many more people in Maharashtra.

New Orleans 2003
Donny Jackson turned the key in the lock, pushed open the door and entered the apartment, then used his foot to hook the door shut behind him. His hands were full. In one he carried a medium-sized Samsonite case and a plastic bag containing a box of duty-free Cuban cigars, in the other his keys and a bunch of mail that had accumulated during his latest trip to Vietnam.
The temperature inside was just a few degrees from being chilly and he could hear the ceiling fan rotating slowly. For once the building's super had remembered to turn the power back on for his return. He used an elbow to flick on the lights.
It felt good to be home. If you could call an apartment he saw for less than two months out of every twelve home. There had been times when he felt it was nothing more than a five-room closet; a place to store his clothes and his MP3 player. Still, it wouldn't be for much longer. If all went to plan then he had only three more weeks before he had his hands on more money than he had dreamed possible in his wildest fantasy. He would never have to work another day in his life. No more long-haul flights in cramped, tourist class seats. No more cheap, flea-ridden hotels in fourth-world countries. No more having to take orders from a bunch of pricks.
Setting down the case and the cigars, he quickly sorted through his mail. Predictably, all were circulars addressed to the occupier of apartment 36. Donny was meticulous about keeping his name off mailing lists, and the apartment was leased under a corporate name, by the firm that employed him. But it took more than that to defeat the marketing men.
He had expected to receive a card from his mother. It had been his birthday the previous day. Celebrated by the devouring of a Big Mac and a strawberry shake in a Hanoi McDonalds. His forty-second birthday and she hadn't missed one yet. He went through the envelopes again in case he had overlooked it. Nope, nothing there. A little disillusioned, he threw the mail on the chrome and smoked-glass coffee table. He would trash them later.
Shaking off his jacket, he draped it over the back of a chair and slipped his feet out of his penny loafers. He sniffed at an armpit and screwed up his face. Boy, could he use a shower. He moved across the room to his MP3 player and selected a Garth Brooks album, turning up the volume. The music would help him unwind while he showered. Installing a remote speaker on the bathroom wall was his only contribution to the apartment's fixtures and fittings.
Jackson walked into the bedroom and through to the bathroom. He swung open the glass door of the stall and turned on the water. It would take a few moments to reach the temperature he liked. Studying his face in the mirror, he considered shaving, but since he would need another shave in the morning, what was the point? He screwed the top off a bottle of mouthwash, took a hefty swig, and started to gargle away the taste of airline food.
As he lowered his head to spit in the sink, he caught a face reflected in the mirror. A mountain of a man with skin as shiny and black as an eggplant, his long hair hanging down in braids tied off with red and blue ribbon. Warhol's Marilyn Monroe adorned the front of his short-sleeved shirt. The man grinned wickedly, displaying a solid gold bicuspid.
Jackson knew the dental work only too well. Gilett and he had worked together on countless occasions and Jackson had considered him an ally. The man's unannounced manifestation in his bathroom suggested that he had been wrong.
The stiletto blade in his hand confirmed it.
Jackson twisted around and spat a stream of mouthwash straight into the man's eyes. Momentarily blinded, Gilett's stabbing thrust veered off course slightly and deflected against a collarbone instead of severing Jackson's spine as intended. Locking his hands together, Jackson clubbed his attacker, catching him off balance. He followed up by grabbing a handful of hair and slamming the man's head against the Spanish tiles on the bathroom wall.

Berkeley chef Alice Waters was joined by dozens of other chefs and food experts today in the launch of a petition asking Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a moratorium on fracking in California.
Potential future fracking is "putting California's scarce and precious water resources and most prized farmland at serious risk," the organic food pioneer said in a letter inviting fellow chefs to sign.
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the practice of directing large high-pressure streams of water, sand and chemicals at underground rock in order to fracture the rock and release oil and natural gas.
The petition contends the practice hurts farmers and agriculture by depleting water supplies, increasing water costs and polluting groundwater.
"We…are concerned about the potential impacts of fracking on our livelihoods and those who grow and produce the food we offer our customers, guests and families," the petition says.
By the end of the day today, 92 chefs, restaurant owners, winemakers and authors had signed the petition, according to Food & Water Watch spokeswoman Anna Ghosh.
Signers thus far include chef and author Joyce Goldstein of San Francisco and chefs Annie Somerville of Greens in San Francisco, Robert Klein of Oliveto in Oakland and Bruce Hill of Picco in Larkspur.
The environmental watch group is helping Waters, the founder of the Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, and Panisse executive chef Jerome Waag collect signatures and increase chefs' awareness of fracking issues.
"This is the beginning of a long-term campaign," said Ghosh, who stated the group in hopes to gain many more chef signatures in the next several months.
The petition asks Brown to declare a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing until the state conducts a comprehensive study of its impacts on California water, air and soil.
The chefs' concerns center on possible fracking in the Monterey Shale Formation, a huge tract of 1,750 square miles in the Central Valley and Southern California that has been estimated to contain 15 billion barrels of shale oil.
The petition follows two recent developments on the part of the state and federal governments regarding fracking.
Last week, Brown signed a law that regulates fracking on private and public land in the state by requiring oil companies to obtain a permit from a state agency for hydraulic fracturing, notify neighbors and disclose the chemicals that will be used.
A number of environmental groups, including the Sierra Club and Center for Biological Diversity, have criticized the state law as not being strong enough, especially after last-minute amendments were added that allegedly ease permit approval.
The Western States Petroleum Association said, however, that while the measure's requirements "went significantly farther than the petroleum industry felt was necessary," the law now gives California the opportunity "to responsibly develop the enormous potential energy resources contained in the Monterey Shale Formation."
In the federal realm, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management announced this summer that it will conduct a full environmental impact study of the effects of oil and gas development, including fracking, on federal land in Central California that could be leased to energy companies.
The announcement came after a federal judge in San Jose, ruling in a lawsuit filed by environmental groups, said the agency hadn't adequately studied the impact of fracking chemicals on water supplies, air and human health in initial leases of 2,700 acres of public land in Monterey and Fresno counties in 2011.
Asked to comment on the chefs' petition, Western States Petroleum Association spokesman Tupper Hull said, "Hydraulic fracturing has never contaminated groundwater in California or anywhere else.
"The technology is safe and is used to bring affordable, abundant energy to California and the United States," Hull asserted.

Downpatrick demands equality of health care
The meeting last Wednesday at the Great Hall at Downshire, Downpatrick and attended by hundreds of people of South Down and Mourne, has sent out a clear message to the South Eastern Trust — the downgrading and removal of services in Downpatrick is not up for negotiation.
For too long Downpatrick has been the easy target for cuts to health services.
The people of South Down and Mourne rightly deserve the same acute health services, psychiatric and disability health care as other parts of Northern Ireland.
Furthermore, we do not need well paid senior management officials from the South Eastern Trust showing a powerpoint presentation and a briefing document informing those who attended the 'consultation' that people are receiving new services at the Downe at the behest of losing other services, expecting people to be very grateful for what we now have in Downpatrick.
It is a basic human right and an equality issue that people locally have the same health services and provision as anywhere else in Northern Ireland. Why should anyone have to drive to other hospitals for health care services when we have a £64m hospital and an excellent medical staff base in place at Downpatrick?
Senior management should now heed the message they were given: no downgrading, no transfer, and certainly no closure of any health, psychiatric or health services in Downpatrick.

In year two, three E&E Grants were used to support CBR projects.
Dr. Richard Olson Interdisciplinary E&E Grant
During the fall of 2008, an interdisciplinary capstone course led by Dr. Richard Olson, brought together graduating students from the following programs: African and African American Studies, Appalachian Studies, Peace and Social Justice Studies, Sustainability and Environmental Studies (SENS), and Women's Studies. The students in this course partnered with Sustainable Berea for their Transition Town Project, which sought community input to create a plan to reduce the City of Berea's energy needs.
- Transition Town Project with Sustainable Berea
- Lexington Herald Leader: Berea is Kentucky's First Transition Town
Dr. Kate Egerton's Grant-Writing Course, Sustainable Berea, and Madison County Home Energy Improvement Program, Inc. E&E Grant
The second project of the year happened during Short Term of 2009. The Grant-Writing course (ENG 227), taught by Kate Egerton, partnered with Sustainable Berea and Madison County Home Energy Improvement Program, Inc. The students wrote portions of grants for each of the two organizations.
- Madison County Home Energy Improvement Program
- Sustainable Berea
Dr. Kris Wright's Health in Appalachia Course, Kentucky Environmental Foundation, and Judith Weckman E&E Grant
A third project was a partnership among the Health in Appalachia course (HLT 210), taught by Dr. Kris Wright, Kentucky Environmental Foundation, and Judith Weckman, of the Berea College Office of Institutional Research and Assessment. In the Spring of 2009, HLT 210 students created and administered a survey for health professionals about their knowledge of health impacts from coal-fired power plants. After the survey, students invited participants to a forum to discuss the results. This project supports the work that KEF and a coalition of other groups in the region are doing to propose alternatives to a new coal-fired power plant in nearby Clark County, Kentucky.

Procurement plans for City Centre Masterplan approved
Plans to procure a masterplan and delivery programme for Aberdeen city centre have been unanimously approved by councillors.
Aberdeen City Council agreed to underwrite the cost of the City Centre Masterplan and Delivery Programme for which external funding, including from the private sector, will be sought - up to the value of £750,000.
A procurement brief, drawn up to set of a clear vision, strategy and action programme for the city centre, addresses issues raised in the Robert Gordon University paper Regenerating Aberdeen: A Vision for a Thriving and Vibrant City Centre.
The masterplan and delivery programme, which will guide future development and investment, will take existing projects, including Marischal Square, the Art Gallery extension and a variety of other committed projects, into account and seek to integrate them into a high-quality urban environment. It will also address what is missing from a successful city centre.
The council's Urgent Business Committee unanimously approved recommendations to appoint a multi-disciplinary team, demonstrating a design-led approach with a detailed understanding of access and movement, infrastructure, market demand, and delivery to work with the council and partners to produce the masterplan and a robust, co-ordinated delivery programme for the city centre.
It is expected that the masterplan and delivery programme will take a minimum of nine months to prepare. Bidders will be asked to submit proposals for completing the masterplan and delivery programme in six, nine or 12 months. It is anticipated that feedback on the feasibility of those timescales will be received during an industry day which is to take place next month.
City Centre Regeneration Board chair, deputy council leader Marie Boulton said:
"I am delighted that the committee unanimously agreed to get this essential process underway as quickly as possible. The procurement of a masterplan and delivery programme for the city centre, which will clearly identify what the city centre needs and how we can achieve it, is an absolutely crucial piece of work for the regeneration of the city centre.
"By gaining approval at the Urgent Business Committee, we have saved three weeks of delay in getting this work underway."
An evaluation team, which will include two members of the City Centre Regeneration Board, will be established to assess submissions made by bidders for the masterplan and delivery programme contract.
A project team, comprising council officers and representatives of city centre services and stakeholders, will develop the detailed scope of work to be included in the invitation to tender for the masterplan and delivery programme contract.

The Yellow Brick Road Gang, otherwise known as Metaphysical Misadventures in the Search for Enlightenment, is a circle of women who came together as a book club. Together they began a spiritual search - and throughout the last eight years each woman has arrived at the realization that after all their searching for knowledge they've come full circle. The only constant is change and the only thing they know for certain is they know nothing. Anything is possible.
Isabel turns 50 the day after the seventh anniversary of her husband's death. She's convinced she will never find love again - and the Gang is convinced that all she needs to do is start taking some of her own great advice. When she meets Joshua - a younger man who wants to give her lessons on love and metaphysics - she finally gives in, heedless of the danger to her heart. But Joshua is both more and less than what he appears to be, and Isabel has to come to terms with herself - and with Joshua's wonderful and strange provenance.
The only way is through the yellow brick road - which leads Isabel right back home, to the miracles within herself.

Turkey Pot Pie is much better when made from scratch
KAREN CIMMS/TIMES NEWS Turkey Pot Pie
When my husband would be out of town and I had just myself to worry about for dinner, I'd often stop at the grocery store on the way home and pick up a turkey pot pie. They are one of my favorite go-to quick dinners.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find them lately. Not to worry. I have a much better solution.
On Sunday we had a turkey breast for dinner (I had been dreaming about turkey sandwiches). Since it was just the two of us, and it was a pretty meaty turkey breast, there were plenty of leftovers. I decided to make homemade turkey pot pie.
Now, if you are going to go through the trouble to make anything homemade, then you should make it all from scratch, including the crust. It isn't hard, and it really doesn't even take much time.
If you have your own recipe for pie crust, then by all means, use that. If not, this is my favorite, which I've been using for as long as I've been making pie, be it turkey or apple. This crust is tender and flaky, and I love it.
In addition to the turkey (and you could easily use chicken), the basis for the filling is a simple white sauce. And while I used a bag of frozen vegetables (yes, I know I said 'homemade'), you can use fresh vegetables that have been blanched or parboiled. They will finish cooking in the oven.
This recipe really didn't take that long to put together, with cooking time, you could have dinner on the table in little more than an hour.
Homemade Turkey Pot Pie
For a standard 10-inch pie crust:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
7-8 tablespoons ice water (I put a glass of very cold water in the freezer, just as I assemble my ingredients and leave it in there until I am ready for it. If the top starts to freeze, just tap it with a spoon, and use the water underneath.)
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, salt and shortening. Blend with two knives, using a criss-crossing pattern, or with a pastry blender, until it forms crumbs the size of small peas. Drizzle water, a tablespoon at a time, until you've added about five tablespoons. Stir with a fork to combine.
Add more water as needed, stirring with the fork, until the dough forms a ball (see tip below). Separate into two balls.
Place a sheet of waxed paper on your counter and place one ball of dough in the center. Cover with a second piece of waxed paper and using a rolling pin, roll dough out to about a 12-inch circle. Remove the top piece of waxed paper and carefully flip the dough into a 10-inch pie pan. Set aside.
Tip: Don't use your hands at all other than to gather the dough into a ball. The more you handle the dough with your hands, the more likely you will have a tough finished product.
For filling:
Half a medium onion, chopped
6 tablespoons butter, separated
2 cups leftover cooked turkey (or chicken)
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (I used peans, green beans, corn and carrots)
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
Cayenne pepper
Melt two tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan. When melted, sauté chopped onion until transparent. Remove from heat and scrape into a small bowl, then set aside.
In the same saucepan, melt remaining four tablespoons of butter. When melted, add four tablespoons of flour, a half-teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk over low heat to cook out the flour taste. After about a minute, pour in about a quarter cup of the milk, whisking constantly, as the roux thickens.
Slowly add remaining milk, while whisking. Cook and stir constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens. Add cooked onions, frozen mixed vegetables, turkey and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Heat through for just a minute. If the sauce has gotten too thick, especially after adding the remaining ingredients, you can add a splash of milk or chicken broth, but don't add too much. Less than a quarter cup, if any, should be fine.
Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the pie pan.
Using the directions above for the bottom crust, roll out the top crust and cover the pie, sealing the edges. Cut vents into the top crust and then bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 35-40 minutes.
Remove from oven and let rest for about 5-10 minutes.

Government and Political Roundup: Assemblywoman reveals she was raped as a child
As the result of an intense political debate, voters around Wausau are learning today that their new state representative was raped as a child. Democrat Mandy Wright revealed her ordeal on the Assembly floor last night, just before majority Republicans approved a bill that requires abortion candidates to get ultrasounds. The bill allows exemptions in cases of rape, incest, or when a mother's life is threatened. To get the exemptions, victims would have to file complaints with police - something Wright said women should not have to do. Wright noted that a large percentage of rape victims never go to the police, just like her family didn't do when she was repeatedly raped by a cousin at age-eight. Wright said her parents protected her, and she told her fellow lawmakers quote, "You are re-victimizing me and thousands of families across Wisconsin." The Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network says about half of all sexual assaults are reported to law enforcement. The Assembly sent the ultrasound bill - and the reporting requirement for exceptions - to Governor Scott Walker. He has promised to sign it. Wright replaced fellow Democrat Donna Seidel in the Assembly in January. Wright said she felt compelled to share her experience, because she does not want other women to have to disclose their trauma to get adequate health care.
Alleged domestic abusers could have more of their past used against them under a bill approved by the Wisconsin Assembly yesterday. It's one of three domestic violence measures that received bi-partisan support, and were sent to the Senate on voice votes. One bill would let juries hear about a defendant's domestic incidents dating back 10 years - even if the person was not charged in all of them. De Pere Republican Andre Jacque said victims endure an average of six physical abuse incidents before they call police - and those incidents can provide solid evidence against an alleged abuser. Milwaukee Democrat Fred Kessler, a former judge, said the bill allows hearsay evidence without proof of an arrest - and that could violate defendants' Fourth Amendment rights. Jacque said his bill would give judges leeway in deciding what evidence gets admitted. He also authored the other bills which were approved. They would establish statewide police training standards for handling domestic abuse cases - make police file reports to prosecutors about all domestic violence calls, even if no arrests are made - and keep restraining orders in place in cases where new judges are assigned. All the measures are designed to address the aftermath of the Radcliffe Haughton-Brookfield spa murders from last fall. Haughton killed himself, his estranged wife, and two other women after police refused to make arrests in over two dozen domestic abuse calls at his family's home in Brown Deer.
Governor Scott Walker says he never routinely checks to see whether his state government appointee candidates signed the 2011 recall petitions against him. The Republican Walker refused to confirm-or-deny yesterday that Joshua Inglett had his appointment as a U-W student Regent withdrawn because he signed the petition. The governor simply said he had other candidates, and would name a replacement soon. Inglett, an engineering physics student at U-W Platteville, was named Monday by Walker to a two-year term as a student member of the university's policy-setting body. Right Wisconsin-Dot-Com reported on Wednesday that Inglett signed the recall petition. Later on Wednesday, Inglett said a Walker aide called to ask if he signed. He said he did, and a few hours later, he was told his appointment was rescinded. Inglett said he was questioned extensively before his nomination, and the subject of the recall never came up. G-O-P Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he should have brought it up anyway. Inglett said he answered every question he was asked by Walker's people, and he objects to being portrayed as someone who was not forthcoming. He told a reporter quote, "I felt my character had been attacked." Platteville chancellor Dennis Shields defended his honor student, and said he was still proud of him. Moderate Senate Republican Dale Schultz of Richland Center and Senate Democrat Jon Erpenbach of Middleton both asked Walker to reconsider, and appoint Inglett anyway. Erpenbach said it looks as if the governor keeps a black-list in his office and quote, "It's McCarthyism."
State Assembly members shared impassioned family stories before approving three bills to restrict abortion rights. All Republicans voted yes and all Democrats voted no yesterday, as the house sent Governor Scott Walker a bill to make abortion candidates get ultrasounds so they can see the fetuses they want to give up. Opponents say the bill would shut down the Planned Parenthood clinic in Appleton, because it forces abortion doctors to have admission privileges at hospitals within 30 miles of their clinics. The Appleton clinic does not have such doctors. The Republican Walker has said he would sign the measure. Assembly Republicans also sent two other abortion bills to the Senate. One would let religious groups opt out of requirements to include contraceptives in their employee health plans. Democrats said it's wrong to equate contraceptives with abortion, saying the drugs work to prevent babies from being conceived in the first place. That bill also prohibits the use of tax money to pay for abortion coverage in public employee health plans. The Assembly also agreed to ban abortions for women who simply object to the unborn child's gender. During yesterday's debate, Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Bill Kramer twice ordered the spectator galleries to be cleared, after visitors broke house rules by applauding Democrats' speeches.

Tagged: multi-site, registration, replete, support, update, wordpress
Hello Community, I am using the replete theme with my WordPress MultiSite install and when I got to register and create a blog on my website while using the replete theme the registration page does not display properly at all.
How can I fix this and can support for WordPress Multi-site be made in the next update?
Hi smartsites1,
Can you explain a bit further about what is happening?
The theme support MU installations as far as I know since that is what Kriesi runs on his demo site for all themes (one big MU).
Also make sure the WPMU installation complies with the license you've purchased from Themeforest since I know it mentions MU specifically.
Hello Devin, It is really my wordpress registration page that is not displaying properly, you can see in the image here: http://onlinemallbrisbane.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/rego-01.jpg
Do you know what I can do to fix it?
The text is white and the wp-signup file sets its width to 90%. So it gets really wide without some kind of smaller container. Setting the color to black text with the following gets you the basic set up but you'll need to adjust the plugin settings/css to work with the themes layout it looks like:
.mu_register {
color: black;
Thanks Devin, I will play around with the css a bit…though I was hoping I wouldn't have to and it would be fine.
The topic 'WordPress Multi-site Registration Page Wrecked' is closed to new replies.

Applications available for 2013 Summer Food Service Program
During the school year, many Minnesota families depend on free or reduced-price meals their children get at school to provide nourishment. When school is out, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) bridges the "nutrition gap."
The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) is looking for organizations to sponsor the 2013 SFSP and provide free meals to Minnesota children 18 and under during the summer when school is out. There are many underserved areas in need of a sponsor to operate a summer feeding site, especially in greater Minnesota. Sponsors receive training, technical assistance and reimbursement for providing meals to children 18 and under in areas of economic need.
"Good nutrition is a critical piece in a student's learning," said MDE Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. "Healthy students are more attentive and ready to learn. The Summer Food Service Program guarantees our low-income children will not lose access to the nutritious meals they receive during the regular school year. I encourage schools, park and recreation programs, faith-based organizations, and other nonprofit organizations that provide educational and recreational activities for children during the summer to offer meals through the Summer Food Service Program."
Program sites are often located at local schools, recreation and community centers, parks, and other locations operated by youth, cultural and faith-based organizations. In 2012, the SFSP had 586 sites operated by 134 sponsors. These sites served nearly 2.2 million meals to children, a 12.23 percent increase from 2011.
A sponsoring organization must be a:
public or nonprofit private school food authority;
public or nonprofit private residential summer camp;
unit of local, municipal, county or state government;
public or nonprofit college or university; or a
private nonprofit organization.
Interested schools and nonprofit organizations may register their interest by submitting the Interest Survey-New Participants, available on the MDE website under School Support, Food and Nutrition Program Administration, Summer Food Service. An informational meeting will be held on February 14 at MDE. Basic workshops will be held be held in Roseville, Walker and Marshall during April.
For more information about the SFSP or to find out how you can help improve access to summer meals by being a sponsor or by partnering with an existing sponsor offering the SFSP in your area, contact MDE Food and Nutrition Service, 651-582-8526, 800-366-8922 or email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, visit the MDE website, www.education.state.mn.us.

In Texas silencers are illegal, but registration is an affirmative defense to prosecution. In other words if your silencer is registered, you can not be prosecuted by the state for possession. You could still be arrested, but any police office in their right mind will not do so if you show them your ATF form 4 or form 1. The ATF routinely approves the transfer of silencers in Texas also.
With the exception of rifles using subsonic ammo, there is still plenty of boom when you shoot suppressed. Some rifles are still too loud to safely shoot without ear plugs. AK's, M-1a's and other gas operated firearms using a piston/rod instead of direct impingement have noisy gas ports. The sonic boom from a high speed bullet is not quiet either. Even a suppressed 22lr pistol shot indoors without ear plugs is going to be uncomfortable, unless you are partially deaf. When I am at the local rifle range I shoot suppressed and with ear muffs. The range officers generally appreciated the silencers as they do not like hearing rifles with muzzle brakes on them.
I use a trust I made with Quicken Willmaker to own my silencers. Better that you have a lawyer advise you though.

DC orders Officials to clear Upcoming Shops near Kadri Park
What goes up illegally, should come down legally! DC AB Ibrahim has ordered to remove all the buildings/shops that have been half way constructed near the entrance of Musical Fountain Park opposite to Kadri Park immediately irrespective of whether those constructions had been approved by any authority.
Mangaluru: As they "what goes up illegally must come down legally" as per the law, Deputy Commissioner AB Ibrahim after receiving complaints from activists visited the spot where the Musical Fountain Park, opposite to Kadri Park is coming up shortly. Noticing all the buildings/shops that have been constructed (half done) he has directed the officials of the Horticulture Department to remove all those already half constructed buildings/shops, and restrict the activities only for the Park and open space defined purpose. No matter what, even if these buildings were authorized by certain officials, DC had said they need to be removed immediately, with no questions asked. It is learnt that construction of any structures/buildings is a violation as per the Karnataka Park, Play Fields and Open Spaces (Preservation and Regulation) Act, 1985, and also directives by the High Court of Karnataka.
DC Ibrahim was also not happy with the felling of 17 trees to make way for the Musical Fountain Park, by the contractor without prior permission from the concerned department. He has asked the authorities to submit a report on this tree felling within a couple of days. Also noticing the garbage dumped by the roadside illegal shops, and also these upcoming buildings which will create inconvenience for vehicle movement, the DC has directed the concerned authorities to enforce his orders immediately and file a compliance report by Monday, 18 April 2016. DC has also warned that if department officials don't act quick on his said orders, cases will be booked against those concerned officials as per Parks Act.
But in the meantime, while welcoming the direction of Deputy Commissioner A.B. Ibrahim to the Horticulture Department to clear all buildings from the proposed Musical Fountain Park at Kadri, environmental activists regretted that the administration had only acted a month after the trees were felled. Even though when environmental activists had staged a protest on March 14 about the felling of 17 trees, no one took any action then. Also, the activists had raised voice against the construction of shops near the Park, but no one cared about their complaints. But it is learnt that the Forest Department had taken note of the unauthorized felling of trees and had registered a case against the contractor of the project under Section 33 (2) V of the Karnataka Forest Act, 1963.
But according to one activist Dinesh Pai who was getting ready to approach the local court for violations of Karnataka Park, Play-Fields and Open Spaces (Preservation and Regulation) Act 1985 by Mangaluru Urban Development Authority, which is executing the musical fountain work, has commented saying that the threat of legal proceedings might have made the Deputy Commissioner to take note of the violations and take actions now. It is also learnt that Leader of the Opposition in the Mangaluru City Corporation, Roopa D. Bangera too had raised her voice recently against the construction of stalls inside the Musical Fountain Park. Let's keep our fingers crossed until we see what will be the outcome of DCs order to the concerned authorities.

You may need a hysterectomy to treat:
A hysterectomy ends your ability to become pregnant. If you think you might want to become pregnant, ask your doctor about alternatives to this surgery. In the case of cancer, a hysterectomy might be the only option. But for other conditions — including fibroids, endometriosis and uterine prolapse — you may be able to try less invasive treatments first.
During hysterectomy surgery, your surgeon might also perform a related procedure that removes both of your ovaries and your fallopian tubes (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). You and your doctor should discuss ahead of time whether you need this procedure, which results in what's known as surgical menopause.
With surgical menopause, menopause symptoms often begin suddenly for women after having the procedure done. Depending on how much these symptoms affect your quality of life, you may need short-term treatment with hormones.

If you're listening to Christmas music, it's not too early to sign up for our Advent Devotional!
12:13–25 In this unit of poetry Job expounds the doctrine of God's sovereign freedom. Some have interpreted this as said tongue-in-cheek, a subtle criticism of God for mismanaging the universe. In this view God is limited, and needs to be "forgiven" by His creatures. But throughout this book, even when Job is raging over his suffering and suggesting doubts about God's justice, he always assumes that God is sovereign, and that man can make no effective objection to what He does. Job wrestles with a mystery, one too deep for the shallow counselors. This part of the speech may have been provoked by Zophar's question in 11:7, "Can you find out the deep things of God?" The poem may also be a reply to Eliphaz's hymn in 5:1–26, where only good things happen to good people, an idea proved false in this stanza.

DARIEN, Conn. - Right after nearly all Darien residents got their power back on, officials are warning to expect more outages as the nor'easter rolls into town Wednesday afternoon.
CL&P has retained its crews in this area to help with new problems that arise, First Selectman Jayme Stevenson said. She said that if you have a documented medical condition or are the in-home caregiver for someone who does, you should call CL&P at 1-800-286-2000 and ask them to flag your account.
The storm will bring snow and rain, with winds around 30 mph and gusts up to 60 mph. No meaningful snow accumulation is expected but roadways may become slippery. Storm surges during the high tide cycles will be between three and five feet and may cause moderate coastal flooding.
Stevenson said that Hurricane Sandy altered the coastline in many areas so any coastal flooding may impact homeowners differently. The town is ready to open its emergency shelter at Darien High School if it needs to.

Georgia coaches chose their words carefully when asked to respond to Thursday's announcement by president Michael Adams that athletic director Vince Dooley's contract will not be renewed.
Football coach Mark Richt was certainly no exception.
``Coach has really helped me a lot in my time to become a head coach for the first time. It will be tough to replace the experience he had to help me,'' Richt said. ``I have a lot of respect for Coach Dooley and I also have a lot of respect for President Adams. I respect the decision that he has made.''
Richt's comments were standard fare.
While the coaches reached were caught off guard by Adams' announcement, none felt it their place to comment on the decision specifically, although Georgia softball coach Lu Champer-Harris said Dooley influenced her as a young coach and was the reason she chose to accept the Georgia softball job.
``Undoubtedly he represents excellence,'' Harris-Champer said. ``Everything he touches seems to be successful. He's outstanding at what he does.
``He is our leader and has great vision and when you're around him you want to do more, make him proud.''
Georgia gymnastics coach Suzanne Yoculan said Dooley's hands-off approach in regards to her program has been welcomed.
``Speaking for myself, I know I wouldn't have been able to do as well as we have,'' Yoculan said. ``But because of Coach Dooley's leadership style, he didn't try to micro-manage my program which allowed me to take it to the level it is.''
Former Georgia tennis coach and historian Dan Magill has known Dooley from the day he arrived in Athens as an untested coach from Auburn in 1964 before becoming one of the school's more beloved figures, coaching the team to 1988, winning six SEC conference titles and the 1980 national championship.
``Coach Dooley had un-parallel success record as football, and also during his long tenure as athletic director,'' Magill said. ``He's certainly one of the greatest men to be associated with the University of Georgia.''
Georgia baseball coach David Perno declined comment at the current time, while new basketball coach Dennis Felton could not immediately be contacted.
Harris-Champer just hopes the athletic program won't suffer without Dooley at the helm.
``That's something to look at in hindsight. All I know is he's a great leader,'' she said.

So I've been contemplating purchasing another .22, and I've been set on a bolt action for superior accuracy. How do people feel about lever action? I think the Henry rifles are pretty cool and supposedly "tack driving accurate". Should I just go with a bolt action like Marlin or another American company instead?

Obama rips GOP senators on Rice
Over on the home page, POLITICO's Jennifer Epstein reports:
President Barack Obama offered a fiery defense Wednesday of his administration's handling of the attack on Americans in Benghazi, calling Republicans' critiques of United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice "outrageous."
Obama specifically rebutted Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who earlier Wednesday called for a "Watergate-style" investigation into the attacks and said they don't trust Rice, seen as a top contender to succeed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, because of her statements on Benghazi
"If Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me," Obama said in the East Room of the White House during his first news conference since winning re-election. "For them to go after the UN ambassador who had nothing to do with Benghazi, and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received, and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous."
The remarks were easily his most passionate during an hourlong press conference at the White House that also touched on the Petraeus scandal, fiscal cliff negotiations and Mitt Romney. Read highlights and liveblog here and Epstein's story here.

Artists Bios:
Composer and Lyricist Florante Aguilar is considered one of the leading proponents of Philippine harana and guitar music in America today. He champions Philippine music through the medium of film, recordings and live performances. His arrangements and compositions reveal a sophisticated and deep understanding of the form, successfully crafting the right balance between respect and redefinition of a tradition. Born in Manila, Aguilar grew up in Cavite province where he learned to play the octavina in a rondalla group. He trained as a classical musician at the University of the Philippines College of Music. After touring internationally, he moved to New York under a scholarship to study at the Manhattan School of Music with Sharon Isbin, Grammy Award winner and current guitar department chair of the Juilliard School. Florante later accepted a position with the pioneering Buffalo Guitar Quartet where he toured and recorded the critically acclaimed CD New Music for Four Guitars (New World 384-2). Florante received his Bachelor of Music Degree at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 1996 under the tutelage of David Tanenbaum. In 2012, Florante Aguilar joined with award winning director Benito Bautista to create the film Harana. The film has toured film festivals nationally and around the world, winning Audience Awards at the 2012 Hawaiian International Film Festival, the 2013 San Francisco CAAMFest, and the 2013 Pac Arts Movement in San Diego.
Philippine Tribal Leader Datu Rodelio 'Waway' Linsahay Saway, of the Talaandig people in Bukidnon, shares and expands on tribal tradition as a composer, singer, instrument maker, and visual artist. A co-founder and teacher of the Talaandig School of Living Traditions, he has performed throughout the Philippines and Asia with his musical group, and with Grace Nono's Tao Music. He is the creative force behind the development of sustainable livelihood in tribal arts, including soil painting and instrument-making. A consummate innovator, he creates music instruments that are musically-sound and considered works of art. He composed the music score for the 2011 Philippine film Crossfire, directed by Arnel Mardoquio. In April 2013, Datu Waway travels to New York to perform in Lincoln Center as guest collaborator of the world-renowned virtuoso cellist Dave Eggar and his group, DEORO.

Climate change effects on drought also on the agenda
By Summit Voice
FRISCO — While the 2011 drought has eased slightly in parts of Colorado, the potential for a second dry year has the state's resource managers thinking ahead. Government leaders and professionals working in regions and economies impacted by drought will gather Sept. 19 and 20 at the History Colorado Center in Denver to share new approaches to drought preparedness. The conference will also present information on what drought may look like under future climate change conditions.
Drought is a historic fact of life in Colorado. State water planners say that, simply put, there's about a one-in-three chance that any part of the state can experience drought conditions in any given year — and climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of drought events, according to a drought mitigation and response plan completed in 2010.
The plan spells out climate change impacts in biting detail:
• "Warmer temperatures will likely result in precipitation occurring as rain rather than snow, an earlier spring melt, more intense precipitation events, and increased evapotranspiration (CWCB 2008, CWCB 2010, Knowles et al 2006, Mote 2006, Saunders 2005, Udall 2007). . Consequently, runoff will start earlier and end earlier. Reservoirs will fill earlier, and what cannot be stored in the spring and early summer will be spilled when agricultural demands are not as great as they are later in the summer.
Decreased runoff in the summer will result in additional reservoir drawdown and many studies agree that higher temperatures and lower precipitation during summer months will further increase agricultural demands, thus causing even more stress on reservoir storage (CWCB 2008, CWCB 2010)."
There's no guarantee that the coming winter will bring above-average or even average precipitation to make up for this year's deficit, so identifying ways to mitigate impacts of potential sustained dry spells is crucial to Colorado's future.
The conference agenda includes panels and speakers addressing:
- Advances in drought monitoring, mitigation and impact assessment
- Drought preparedness innovations in agriculture, business and energy sectors
- The response and impacts from the 2011 drought – Colorado and Texas
- Managing drought-related risk
- Opportunities for interagency/intergovernmental collaboration and public/private
partnerships on drought response and mitigation efforts
- What the latest science says about drought and climate change
- Vulnerability and economic impact of drought to tourism and recreation, as well as urban and natural environments.
According to the latest update from the National Integrated Drought Information System all of Colorado remains at some level of drought, ranging from "exceptional" in the southeasetern corner of the state to "severe" across a large part of the Front Range, through the middle of the state from east to west and across much of the Western Slope.
Only the north-central and southwestern mountain areas saw any significant benefit from the summer monsoon; as a result, the drought classification was lowered to severe in those regions.
The NIDIS monitor reports that no gauges in the Upper Colorado River Basin are recording above normal flows, while about 35 percent of the gages in the basin are recording much below normal or low (i.e. lowest on record) streamflows.
Much below normal flows are concentrated in the Colorado River headwaters region and upper Gunnison River. Near normal flows are concentrated around the Upper Green River, San Juan River and Colorado River just above Lake Powell. The remainder of the basin is mostly in the below normal flows range.
All of the major reservoirs are below their August storage averages, with Blue Mesa at 59 percent of average, Lake Granby at 79 percent of average, and Lake Powell currently at 70 percent of average.
Colorado's drought response plan includes an interesting section on the history drought in the state.
The Dust Bowl drought came in three waves: 1934, 1936 and 1939-1940. The last of those droughts saw excessive heat even into the high country, with many July all-time high temperature records in Frisco set in the summer of 1939.
The 1950s drought hit the Great Plains and the Southwest especially hard, with a string of five dry years. Part of that time, drought stretched nearly from coast to coast. By the time the dry spell ended in 1957, many counties in the hardest-hit areas had been declared federal disaster zones.
The next major drought came in 1976-1977, when two-thirds of the state's streams set all-time record low streamflows that held until 2002. The 1970s drought also gave ski areas the impetus to start thinking about making their own snow, a move that was reinforced a few years later during the short but intense drought that started in the fall of 1980 and continued to the spring of 1981. The early 1980s drought also triggered formulation of the state's first formal drought response plan.
The state's worst drought on record was in 2002, when the Rio Grande nearly ceased flowing. Based on tree-ring studies, the 2002 event may have been the worst-ever dry spell in Colorado. If global warming causes recurrences of 2002 conditions, it could stretch the state's water resources close to the breaking point — hence the need for an up-to-date response plan.
The draft plan goes on to rank counties based on their susceptibility to drought in different sectors, including agriculture, recreation and energy, as well as important aquatic habitat.
Registration for the event closes at 5 p.m. on September 14. Cost for the event is $175 per participant before September 1st and $195 thereafter. Registration includes a complimentary pass to the History Colorado Center, located at 1200 Broadway in Denver. For further information, please contact Taryn Hutchins-Cabibi at 303-866-3441 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

So, now the ingame map creator is out, I thought I'd have a go at making another Portal 2 map
The portal 2 map editor is really limited, I hope they add more options to it in the future. Also did anyone else get a source SDK update?
Yeah, my Source SDK just updated.
Nothing useful then.
maybe not for you at least. but for maya users it's pretty great. (now if they could update their scripts for maya 2013 it would be nice)
Layout for the map is pretty much finished. Just have to do stuff like boarders, 3D skybox, lighting,and cubemap fixes.
Very nice, I only suggest that the CSS train car be changed.
God, dang it. Valve. You screwed up my displacements. and even after the update too... Oh wait, what nothing did the update do?
Some random mapping.
You might already figure out what the exterior is based on.
It appears to be based on dark. I suggest making it a bit brighter to work on all monitor types.
It seems very dark outside for how bright the sky is.
Exterior is heavy WIP just some random prop placement.
Lighting any better?
A little fun building in CSGO to fool with the dynamic lighting.
Fully destroyable too!
Any ideas on how to optimize? It's laggy... mostly because of particles...
This thing is made up of fewer than 30 brushes... Yet it lags, because of the particles. Any way to disable particles?
How can optimizing the map fix that? Other than disabling shadows on the shelves.
Point entity actually, with surface flags for where you don't want rtt shadows.

Running Back Kevin Smith worked out with the Patriots on Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson of Scout.com.
Smith, 24, has spent all three years of his NFL career with the Lions. Appearing in 35 games, he has rushed for 1,856 yards and 12 touchdowns. He has also made 91 receptions for 824 yards.
As a rookie during Detroit's winless 2008 season, Smith played in every game and rushed for 976 yards and eight touchdowns.
Smith missed the final three games of the 2009 season, as well as the first three games of 2010, with a knee injury. After playing in six games last year, he suffered a season-ending thumb injury. Detroit did not make a qualifying offer when he became a restricted free agent.
The Patriots' third round pick, running back Stevan Ridley, has been out of practice and missed Saturday's preseason game against Detroit.

It's official.
Scott Lee Cohen will not be running for Lt. Governor of Illinois.
The embattled nominee and former pawn broker submitted a letter of resignation to state party officials Friday, ending his bid for the office.
"We didn't want this to continue through the weekend," said Cohen's spokesman, Baxter Swilley. "We gave it to the state party, and they will file it. We consider the matter closed."
Cohen, who shocked the party when he won the nomination, was forced to step aside over concerns that his shady past would hurt the governor's ticket in November.
The letter, which was turned over to Michael Madigan's office, will go to the state board of elections when it opens on Tuesday.
Now the Democrats can turn their attention to choosing a replacement, or, as Madigan has proposed, eliminating the office.

Preface : A Threshold to the Work at Hand
Chapitre de livre / Book chapter
Series/Report no.Advances in Human and Social Aspects of Technology (AHSAT);
The paratext framework is now used in a variety of fields to assess, measure, analyze, and comprehend the elements that provide thresholds, allowing scholars to better understand digital objects. Researchers from many disciplines revisit paratextual theories in order to grasp what surrounds text in the digital age. Examining Paratextual Theory and its Applications in Digital Culture suggests a theoretical and practical tool for building bridges between disciplines interested in conducting joint research and exploration of digital culture. Helping scholars from different fields find an interdisciplinary framework and common language to study digital objects, this book serves as a useful reference for academics, librarians, professionals, researchers, and students, offering a collaborative outlook and perspective.

However, since then I feel as though he has pulled away even more and now we are barely speaking. I am out of town for a conference this week. I couldn't get out of going, it was prepaid and I work in nonprofit. My H felt that I would actually be a really good thing for us to be apart and have time to "get used to being alone" if that's the way this goes. He had not agreed to consider R or MC and says he may not get there.
Since I've been out of town (I left on Monday), we haven't spoken on the phone. I've texted him a few times, but I get a response several hours later, often after midnight. I continue to try to text him, just to let him know I'm safe, back in my room, good morning/night, even if he doesn't respond. I told him he could call me last night if he wanted but I didn't want to bother him if he still wanted distance. He never called and only texted me a pic of our pet late last night (I always tell him to give him a kiss for me).
The thing is, I felt better when I was blaming him for part of the marital problems that helped lead to my A. Now I'm facing the thought of losing my H, my life, my home and extended family all because of my actions and choices. I know, I know...that's part of it. Actions have consequences, you reap what you sow, I made my bed and now....etc. But now I feel like I can't breath! I'm having extremely dark thoughts and feel like I would rather just die today than have to live like this or worse, without the love of my life. How can I go on knowing that ruined it all!? I know I need to see an IC, but I even have a problem with that bc my H brought up the fact that 1) he doesn't really believe in IC/MC and 2) we're going to spend money to fix something that should have never been broken to begin with.
I feel like I'm falling apart at the seams. And I have no Idea where to turn. I'm out of town and alone, trying to fake my way through a conference. And back home my life is ripped to shreds. And with every word I type or speak about this, all I can hear is myself saying "and you did this" or "and it's your fault" after every sentence.
Let your BS process what you shared. He may be taking a step back, taking a moment to breathe without having to face his biggest trigger (you). Even if he doesn't want to talk now, he did take a moment to text you something that was important to you. That in its self is a gesture of kindness.
I can only control myself, no one else. I do not have that kind of power.

You mentioned:
He doesn't really believe in IC/MC
Marriage counseling is so tricky because couples usually wait until they have serious problems... and it is sometimes just not possible to reconcile enough of them to call it a success. If marriage counseling doesn't always result in the couple becoming harmonious, it might be hard to "believe in" marriage counseling.
But in individual counseling is fundamentally different, because it aims to help one person figure out what he or she wants, and how to change his/her life to head in that direction. I'm a big "believer", because it really was essential for me. (I'm the wandering spouse, by the way.)
I don't mean to disparage or discourage marriage counseling. I am suggesting that maybe you can make some headway with your husband for him to consider individual counseling if you "concede" that this is not the right time to consider marriage counseling for you as a couple.
Here's wishing you calm so you can get some rest. You won't be able to make any headway at all if you are exhausted and beating yourself up indefinitely.
So nothing you didn't know, but I just wanted say keep it up, you are growing.
I had a very good conversation this evening with a dear friend I used to work with who lives close to where I'm visiting right now. I needed that higher level of thinking and self awareness perspective to help me breath some right now. I don't want to sound selfish here. I know that my H is not off having the time of his life, loving the fact that his W cheated on him and now he gets some hall pass. He's hurting and trying to heal. For me, when I'm alone with my thoughts, that's what hurts me the most in terms of feeling lost and hopeless. I've scarred this person I love most in the world...deeply...forever. Hard pill. If I lose him...it'll be due to my actions. Again, gulp.
Isadora, thank you. I'm hoping that that is what he's doing. Taking a breather. I just hope that whenever that is over, he still wants to be with me and work on us.
Brandon808, I did go through IC about 8 years ago, for nearly 3 yrs. It was very helpful and all I can say is that I wish I had done that kind of independent work on myself years ago. And probably wouldn't be on here if I had. I'm trying to see how things go when I get home.
And then DanteJace, maybe he'll want to do MC or just be ok with me doing IC. I really do believe that we have a lot of issues that we need to discuss in the presence of a neutral third party. Slater13 thank you for taking the time to read my story. So as you know, my H has been unfaithful at times, no actual sex, but sexual and emotional. So if our discussion escalates, we can both get mad and defensive and start pointing fingers.
Thank you all, again. I'm feeling a little better. Just trying to find patience and compassion and breath. :)
