Douala,June 27th, 2012
Shalom and heartly greetings to you , dear Pastors, dear brothers and sisters, and dear beloved in Jesus Christ,our Lord and Saviour, in this our beloved and caring site.
Peace and Perfect Peace,grace and love be given to you in the name of God our Father and Father of all,and of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Saviour.
May Peace, grace and blessings of YHWH the Most High be always with you, proclaiming the Revival of Repentance in the Name of Yahshua HaMashiach, Messiah of Yisra'El.
Shalom, and thanks in the name of YHSWH our Lord and Saviour, for considering this message, from so far YHWH's children living in a community of YHSWH believers, in this part of the world ,Cameroon, in Africa.
I am Rév. Johaness Dingome Biyick, a messianic Pastor, with a messianic and social ministry and charity home for poors in Cameroon,Africa.
I am a born-again, fulfilled, Messianic Christian, who believes that the Messiah of Israel is Adonai Yeshua Hamashiakh worshiping and letting other worship Him in truth and in Spirit, Him, YHWH, our God.
I have visited your website and found it very interesting and possibly helpful, and that is the reason why, inspired by the Holy spirit, I decided after prayers to write to you, dear brethren, for a spiritual and material assistance, about the following:
Our Ministry is made of many small groups of goodwilling men and women,young and old,widows and orphans also,motivated by the principles of the gospel, mostly on Love to all the children of God so much in need, from those abandonned in the hospitals,the prisons and other charity homes or simply,to those in the streets.
Our main purposes by creating this ministry were :
- To convert people really and truely to the original christianism based on Love one another teachings of the Lord Jesus-Christ the Redemptor and Saviour for all,and in promoting real virtues of altruism and in respect,for those we must help,no matter their differences.
- Our community participates in many chritian,social and humanitarian activities here, and is divided in two parts:
A- The Ministry Itself,
and it's Prayer Groups.
These are
- Serving in creative and new endeavours where the Gospel has not been heard.
To encounter and celebrate God's presence in the life, history, culture and faiths
of the people among whom we live,and with no discrimination;
- Collaborating with all our prayer groups and members to live simply and in
solidarity with the poors and marginalized people,with charity assistance to the
abandonned ones in the Hosspitals,Prisons or other charity houses.
- Expanding prayer groups with multiple evangelisation campaign
B- The Charity Home,
supported by the Widow and Youth group of prayers meant in:
- Programs of Free food, second hand cloths,vessels,electro-
menager,food,bedshits,blankets or anything we're given, to the very
poor in our Charity Home, but also in differents areas where life is hard for some human beings, so in the Prisons, the Hospitals and some other charity houses.
- Programs of campaigns of prevention of prostitution,homosexuality
abortion, Aids, Malaria and other STDs,and tropical deseases which
are enormously killing young poor people here...etc, with a A youth group of prayers, that prays and educates people on the harms of pornography and all other sexual issues such as homosexuality and other forms of perversion,while helping those who are striving to be pure.
We particularly focus on children in the streets, victims of so many and wide abuses, by helping in bringing them with our limited means a kind of hope, healing, intervention, counseling, legal aid, support, medical referrals, education, safe-house in our Charity Home, wich actually has 25 rooms.
We try to provide intervention assistance for some of those abused children, as well as legal referrals and support groups of our ministry, and we also provide food, shelter, medicine, educational support, counseling, and other necessary care for those abused and needy children abandonned in the streets, by all.
This includes providing food, clothing, medicine, shelter, and project support of hospitals and schools.
Many of them, young girls as same as boys, are victims of AIDS, and mostly, alcohol and drug abuse too, so
we commit ourselves to reducing alcohol and drug related problems within them, trying as we can, to provide preventive, educational and therapeutic services and environments, for all those children, and, at times, we also have some adults who have nowhere to expect, and come to join our community.
Our supportive services are designed to enhance the quality and productivity of the lives of all these abandonned human beings, program participants, staff and volunteers from our Prayer Groups, mainly, to provide model leadership in the alcohol and drug provider community,
to develop and maintain a highly visible image to the general public as a provider of exceptional alcohol and drug abuse services.
We want to make sure that no one will be denied services based solely on an inability to pay for them, for our actions are completely FREE, and based simply on our christian values of love and care to one another, and mostly, the most needy, the poorest of all.
We are happy to consider ourselves, in His name, an effective and compassionate ministry.
Our greatest success and source of power is our Widows group of prayers first,followed by the Youth group, made mainly of volunteers and other school children, who visit poor peoples in prisons,hospitals or certain charity houses,and provide them with second hand facilities, like thosqe mentionned above.
Very dear ones,to essentially expand the gospel in this part of the world,which is quite economically and deeply poor,while ignoring some moral,human and social negative aspects and disasters which are occuring here,would be a big mistake.
So we try to do the best we can,with the Holy spirit assistance and in the imitation of the Lord Jesus Himself,as He did while on earth physically,and recomaanded us to do.
At least,that is our main motivation and source of inspiration.
Of course we can not save all the misery,but unable to save all the misery here then,but we are trying anyway at least,to do in the maximum of our ability,of our consciousness,our goodwillhood.
And in this,we naturally meet so many problems too.
In addition to all our projects I've presented above, we are actually building our own Chapel and leave rentage and this chapel,which will include a Christian Cultural Center,for the promotion,expansion and propagation of the Gospel,with free showings of DVDs,VCDs and other free reading and eventual distribution of christian litteratures,writings and documentations.
This is going to be,we wish,the central point for the promotion and expansion of the gospel and christian images too for those who don't have a TV , in the Central Africa region in particular,and Africa in general.
So, the main reason we are sending this message to you,is to beg for your spiritual and material assistance, in at least one of the following needs:
1 - Christian educational resources such as Bibles,with other instructive books, videos,audiocassettes,DVDs on Christian lives or concerts,public campaigns...etc,because we sincerely miss everything here for teaching,and our background education is based only on the Holy Spirit self inspiration.
We are GENERALLY very much in need and very immensely in need Bibles for distribution, and of all kind of Christian Litterature and other pamphlets for distribution and teachings,and DVDs (for our public show room in our Christian Cultural Center),in English or in French languages, for the two languages are fluently spoken in Cameroon.
2 - We would like you to help us also, with second hand goods such as cloths, bedsheets, shoes, rice, powder milk, conservs, soaps, plates, pots or/and any other second hand items that you can be of a greater help, for many peoples here, even those which can seem meaningless, or with very poor importance to you, and that we can distribute to our poor people here.
And also, we need them for distribution in our campaigns in the deep forest, for the pygmies population that we used to go to evengelise in the deep forest here, and who are in lack of almost everything,due principally to the fact that they reject any form of modern life and hang on in their ancestral culture.
These excluded human beeings, left in the level of animals,are totally abandonned by the society, and even the government himself beeing less preoccupated by those details,but much preoccupated by his economical and political crisis.
They are a hunter-gatherer people.
Groups establish temporary camps of huts constructed of bowed branches covered in large leaves (though today more and more homes are constructed following Bantu methods). The men hunt and trap in the surrounding forest, using poisoned arrows and spears to great effect. They also fish, using chemicals obtained from crushed plant material. Using fast-moving river water, they disperse the chemical downstream. This non-toxic chemical deprives fish of oxygen, making them float to the surface and easily collected
Women also gather wild fruits and nuts or practice beeking while tending to the children. The group remains in one area until it is hunted out then abandon the camp for a different portion of the forest. The group is communal and makes decisions by consensus.
Children's health is of a particular concern, as they are particularly susceptible to disease, often resulting in death. Their skills is mostly in their traditional medecine, which are such that even non-pygmies often seek out their healers for treatment.
Their religion is animist; they worship a forest spirit known as jengy also called Djengi or Ejengi, whom they perceive as both a parental figure and guardian.
But actually, christian ministries like ours, with social concern in addition, are bringing so many, to the lord.
3 -
And last, and not the least,we have here,this very important problem of potable water,which is quite important,in the large dimension of a catastroph!
We know that everywhere it is said water is life and it is true,...but here,water is becoming death.
We are very much concerned with this problems of water here,and almost all the spiritual leaders are concerned,because the quality of water in the suburbs here,is a clear and simple murder to the populations.
Water is killing instead of giving life here!
In all the suburbs and squats here,there aren't any water distribution system,and there aren't neither any water system at all in the new faster growing quarters and suburbs.
Even in the main towns,the actual systems are dating from the french colonial times,some forty years ago now,and no pomp or drill has been ever changed!
Majority of peoples faced to this situation,just dig wells nearby the WCs or the public discharges,unaware of the consequences of bathing with,or drinking such water!
Meanwhile, some Churches and other particulars are helping in making DRILLINGS,in the cloth underground.
But all the populations do not have access to those drillings,as one must belong to a particular church that own the drillings,or have money to pay from the particulars and other privates,who exploite it for sell only.
So, on view also of the general incomes here and general poverty of peoples concerned by the project here,we have put that plan also in the hands of the Lord on whom we rely to, to enable us at least, to dig about 2 to 5 Drillings which are necesarilly for the while, for all the poor people here too, and with no form of difference or distinction,to get clean,potable and pure water,to drink too,for free,at least,at last!
If there could be of any help you could be for us, with no obligation at all but goodwillingness only, we shall be very thankful for you, and thank the lord YHSWH, for have used you, to help ones of His poor peoples on this earth, under this sun which daily shines, for all of us,tough with different magnitude.
Thanks in advance for all and please, unite your ministry into partnership in Christ, with our Messianic ministry and pray for our work to spread the YHWH truth in our Country, and the whole of our continent too,for we are all Torah observant, and encourage all to refer back, in our hebraic roots.
Please do pray also for our services and our charity home of orphans..
4 - Finally, and personally, and if possible, please send me also a Laptop, with external strong disc possibility, and a Film Projector and screen, even an old or second hand ones, which can permit me to show the messianic preaches on DVDs in the villages, where there is no Internet,as in many country
villages in in africa.
Indeed, we will be very happy to see you if you so wish too,in the official ceremonies of the dedication of the Chapel and thanksgiving in the next christmas 2012 if God so agrees.
By that dedication,we want to honor God our Father and His son Jesus our Lord for letting this chapel finish,and recommand and bless all those who have helped us with their contribution in the realisation of this immense work.
This being an invitation already,we still expect you to confirm us of your paricipation,so that we arrange the visa requirements for you.
So very dear in the Lord Jesus-Christ,these are the five points help we can say we present to you,and hope that with the inspiration of our Lord Jesus-Christ,you will be able to humanly assist us,in the level you can,and no more!
Of course we won't ask you to help us with the entire projects,or to carry the whole of our humanitarian perspectives, but just to act with your heart,and do what God Himself will permit you to give in rescue,contribution and encouragement for us.
Dear beloved in His name,I have been very happy to let you be aware of the actual program we are on since a good time now,and the mission we have been revealed by Him Himself to realize here to these people of Him too,on His name and the only glory of Him alone,the Lord Jesus-Christ,and God His Father.
We hope that you have been able to appreciate our efforts!
We thank you also to pray particularly for us even so far away as you are,for God has no notion of distance.
Please,pray for us also for the on-going of our ministry and mission,and that this ministry be full with God's chosen children who are really willing to worship and serv Him,with no rejection or exclusion but Peace,Unity and love and understanding between all of them...
Pray for us also,that the Glory of God and His presence might be evident in our Ministry through our daily actions and blessings of love,...
Pray for us endeed,that we succeed to convert the majority of people here to quit their ancestral rituals and other traditions of sorcellery and witchcraft as it is so common here,and give all their lives to Jesus.
We do pray for you also,and with all our profound heart and devotion,that Him blesses your Ministry already one thousand time blessed ,and multiply by thousands,your gifts in His name.
With much Love and thankful heart,with all that you are for Him,we are happy to be your brothers and sisters too,in this lost poorest part of the world too,in His name,the Lord Jesus-Christ,the universal Lord and son of God,our Saviour and eternal redemptor,the reason of our living,and of our existence.
Thanks in advance for all and please, unite your ministry into partnership in Christ, with our Messianic ministry and pray for our work to spread the YHWH truth in our Country, and the whole of our continent too,for we are all Torah observant, and encourage all to refer back, in our hebraic roots.
Please do pray also for our services and our charity home of orphans.
Here we'll be all fervently praying for you, your blessed family, your staff your elders and our YHVH group.
And, while we are prayerfully expecting your kind reply.
May Him bless you abundantly too,that you always be that source of blessings,to others.
God bless you abundantly.
Yours Faithfully in the path and In love,

And the ones below are of the ministry in fulness.
The New Jerusalem Ministry is proud to acknowledge the very special and close relationship that we have with YHWH our God, with faith, love to one another and hapiness, upon all the temptations, persecutions of this world, and a material poverty, which has nothing, but to confirm us that we aren't in our home, here on this earth, under the sun.
The Mount Zion Assemblies of Yahweh (Yahuweh) our chapel is dedicated congregation of YHWH believers in the hebraic roots inspiration,and has always been a source of joy and inspiration for all the members of the ministry.
As one can easily see in the pictures below, Yahuweh is clearly at work in our ministry, redeeming lives, establishing the Torah and preparing His People for the glorious work of the Kingdom!

"A unique family ministry, restoring biblical worship"
Many peoples have lots of comprehension and love toward poor peoples everywhere in the world, and for the least cry but, as for Africa, sincerly,we are left as abandonned,to our fates, with quite lesser regards, altough we've all been created by the same God, who has no difference making with His peoples.
And this,we suffer it from milleniums, and everyone finds excuse to put us aside, anytime we tend the hand for help,according to what the Lord, who is our only reason of living,taught us to do.
But even, hardly, we find a goodwilling heart or a helping hand.
Our brothers and sisters in christianism should be our only hope, and that is why I took such a time to write toyou, and show you in photos also, what with the Lord's help, we arepromoting in this land created by God also !!!

The son of the former MIC president says that he is merely the coordinator for the seat which his father held for three decades.
KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Central Working Committee (CWC) member S Vell Paari has claimed that he is merely the coordinator for the Sungai Siput parliament seat.
Although touted as a potential candidate to reclaim his father, former MIC president S Samy Vellu's stronghold, the 50-year-old businessman said he would back anyone selected by the party top leadership to contest the seat.
He was appointed as the constituency's coordinator by MIC president G Palanivel last November.
Vell Paari was responding to a statement by Sungai Siput division chief R Ganesan, who expressed support for Palanivel to contest the seat.
He said that as a division leader, Ganesan had the right to voice his opinion.
"As far as I am concerned, I will back not only Palanivel but anyone as long as he or she is a winnable candidate," he added.
Vell Paari, who expressed happiness for being appointed as the coordinator for the seat, said that he visited the constituency regulary to sort out the problems faced by the locals there.
"Sungai Siput voters are the ones who gave an identification to my family and it is my obligation to repay them," he added.
Quizzed on the speculation that he might be fielded, Vell Paari said it would be premature to comment on that.
However, he did not rule out the possibility of contesting if given the opportunity.
"I am familiar with the place and I know all the good and bad things about Sungai Siput," he said, reiterating that the final decision was with the party leadership.

Second energy audit to save more city funds
A second audit of energy consumption at Fairfield Waterworks Plant, Fairfield Waste Water Treatment Plant and Roosevelt Community Recreation Center — three of Fairfield's biggest city-owned energy hogs — is expected to detail additional efficiency upgrades.
The new audit is one of the first steps in implementing a plan already expected to save the city more than $92,000 annually. Fairfield has roughly $480,000 earmarked for the work, including a $162,000 federal grant from the Iowa Office of Energy Independence.
The Fairfield City Council Environmental and Franchise Utilities Committee met with department heads Monday to review the plan and assess their readiness to move forward. Committee chairman Michael Halley needs to present the office of energy independence with a definitive timeline to complete the work by the end of next year.
Although three city buildings need to undergo a more thorough audit, the Fairfield Public Library, Fairfield Public Works Department, Fairfield City Hall and Fairfield Fire Department are all set to proceed with upgrades previously identified. The Fairfield Police Department's involvement in the project is questionable at this time because it is housed in a facility shared with the county.
The department heads were cautioned against starting projects until everything has been cleared with the state office. Fairfield's sustainability coordinator Scott Timm explained a lot of strings are attached to the federal money, including guidelines to buy American, complete environmental impact and historic preservation studies and pay a prevailing wage.

a leader in the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate who later rebelled against the weaknesses he saw in the Imperial government that he had helped to restore. Although his participation in the restoration made him a legendary hero, it also, to his mortification, relegated his samurai class to impotence. Early life Saigō was born in 1828 at Kagoshima. His family were samurai of a low but honourable rank whose traditional responsibility was that of serving in the feudal lord's bodyguard. From boyhood Saigō was distinguished by his unusual size and physique; as an adult he was almost six feet tall, weighing some 200 pounds. A giant among his contemporaries, he appeared frightening at first glance, with his large, piercing eyes and bushy eyebrows, but he was friendly and unassuming in manner. Possessing all the samurai virtues—bravery, generosity, and excellent swordsmanship—he attracted friends and followers in great numbers. He was impatient with details, making decisions quickly and...READ MORE

NFL Execs Discuss State Of Business, Improving Fan Experience
Published September 9, 2010
The message NFL execs want to send at the start of the season? It is no longer business as usual. The tight economy has forced more creative thinking and new approaches to selling tickets, premium seating and sponsorships. It has also forced teams and the league to take a hard look at the fan experience and what it will take to keep people coming back. Those are some of the issues discussed as SportsBusiness Journal/Daily held a roundtable discussion on Aug. 23 in our N.Y. offices with Cardinals President Michael Bidwill, Chiefs Exec VP & COO Mark Donovan, Jets Exec VP/Business Operations Matt Higgins, Texans President Jamey Rootes, Giants Senior VP & CMO Mike Stevens and NFL CMO Mark Waller. The majority of the interview runs in this week's SportsBusiness Journal. The following is additional content from the discussion; some responses have been edited for brevity. See tomorrow's issue for part two of the roundtable.
Q: What is the state of your business? How is the marketplace right now in late August 2010 before you go on to your season?
Rootes: Things are good. There's a lot of enthusiasm for our team in the marketplace. Up to this season we've sold out every game and this year has gone better than previous years. Our season-ticket base is well in excess of 64,000. We're almost sold out of all our games for this year, so from a ticketing perspective things are good. Suites and club seats are strong. We're about sold through on the suite side except for our single-game inventory that we hold back and we're marketing that. But the demand has been really good on a single-game basis. Our sponsorship will have growth again this year, so things are good.
Stevens: It's been a busy year for us. I think you're probably going to hear the same from Matt because it's been such a big transformation from the old stadium to the new stadium -- one of those all-consuming life events for any organization. We're a relatively small organization by NFL standards, so it's been a multi-year process to build up and prepare from being a tenant in a building -- even though it had our name on it, we were still a tenant nonetheless -- to building a joint venture operating company between the two teams to run our own facility, finance our own facility, sell and manage our own facility. It's been a real transformation to have internal services and to build up our sales force, build up our capability to manage something of that scale and at the same time build basically a brand new company with another NFL team as a joint venture partner, and then roll it out and take control of our own business for the first time, manage the customer experience, manage everything that happens, all the different touch points that we have as a business with our fanbase, but through that most important asset you have which is your stadium and your game-day experience. On the revenue side, as Jamey talked about, kind of fighting through the recession.
Donovan: It's all about the stadium this year. The difference being that we're a renovated stadium. We don't really talk about renovation. We talk about it being a new stadium. Anybody who has been there, anybody who will be there, will see that it really is a new stadium. … We're a very small market with a very big stadium. We are definitely being affected by the economy. The highlights for us are, as you should with a new stadium, our suite sales are very, very strong. It's an interesting picture of the economy because our highest-end suite sales are sold out, our lowest-end suite prices are sold out. We're doing a lot of innovative things and copying a lot of other teams' practices in what we do with the middle. Club seats have been a struggle for us. Part of that is because we didn't really have a club before. People haven't seen our club level, and when they get there we expect that to ramp up. Our hope is that, as the economy turns, they see that experience, and the team plays, and it all falls in line.
Bidwill: Our season-ticket base has been affected by the economy, the same with the suites and everything else, but we've continued to innovate and find ways to keep the stadium sold out. We've got 44 games that we've played there and kept it sold out. It looks like we'll continue that through the whole season. … Phoenix is one of probably half a dozen communities around the country that is sort of the epicenter for the real estate and financial market challenges, so it's really affected us over the last two years. We've lost about 300,000 jobs in Arizona, which is an enormous amount against our working population. Many of those folks have been fans and sponsors have shrunk, so we've had to become more innovative in terms of what we're doing with our sponsors. We've had to look at ticket pricing. Much like in Kansas City, probably many of the clubs, our highest price and our best locations seem to go quickly as well as our low price. Then it's always that middle price that you really try to add value to and make things more valuable to the consumer and to the fan.
Waller: Our main focus at the moment is trying to help and support these guys in what they're doing, particularly at the front end of the business. If you look at things like in-stadium experience -- that's clearly a key to ticket sales -- so we're trying hard to lend our help and support to things like deploying RedZone in stadiums, helping build some of the technology access points. That's a key league-wide feature. … At the sponsorship level, I think the guys are happy with the Verizon deal. That's a huge deal for us. I think there's a great excitement around the way that Coors is going to execute this year, even though A-B are going to come in afterwards. I think that again has been a good deal all around, and I think we found a good solution on the banking category. We wrestled hard with that one and I think we came up with a deal with Barclays which is good at the league level, but allows the clubs to do what they need to do at a local level.
Higgins: We are heading toward sellout. Fortunately, we made the decision we needed to make a couple of months ago and lowered our prices. We had a kind of Jesus meeting and said, "At these prices, are we going to sell out? Marketing can only do so much. The sales guys can only do so much." We said we'll sell out in a couple of years if this trend line continues with these tickets, so we re-priced 18,000 and we're going to be sold out by opening day. We don't have any blackout risk. We've taken care of that issue. Club seats are a little more difficult.
Q: All your business partners are asking about labor, so I'm interested in what you are telling them. What can you tell them? What are you doing with them?
Waller: I think the question has been incredibly clear and I think ownership has been incredibly clear. The goal is to play football. That's what we're all working for; that's what the players are working for; that's what the league is working for; that's what all of us want. It's hard to imagine with all of that effort and focus that we don't get it solved. That's the conversation. That's the conversation we have with every single supplier whether it's a sponsor, a broadcast partner, a club, a player. That's the goal. Generally speaking, if you look back at our track record, we have a history as clubs and a league of delivering our goals.
Q: Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross bought the formerly named Kangaroo TV. The league somewhat got behind this initiative and gave him a platform at the annual meeting and there was the announcement that he hoped to have over half the teams using Fan Vision. Are any of your teams planning to use Fan Vision this year?
Higgins: We're giving it to club seat holders to further differentiate the experience from the rest of the bowl, so we're giving out one for every two seats.
Bidwill: We're doing something very similar. We're focusing on the club seats, getting them extended. We're into our fifth season, so the sooner you get those folks extended, we're adding it as part of the benefit package in terms of folks with three or more years, it's really going to enhance what we can do across the board. It can enhance that in-stadium experience and make it better for the fans who are there, being part of the 12th man. I think this is going to be a real positive for us, and I think it's a piece of technology that will be here for several years. There's probably going to be something five years down the line that's much different that we'll all be putting bets on, although we don't bet in our league.
Rootes: Risks, take risks.
Bidwill: In any case, Fan Vision is something I think our fans are going to like a lot, especially when we're looking at things like the RedZone and everything else that you can add as a new platform.
Q: How many of them are you actually using?
Bidwill: Several thousand for the clubs, and then they're going to be on sale for the other fans.
Higgins: Steve (Ross) was very passionate and made a convincing case to use it, and we were all locked in at first because we wanted to be the clever team that came up with a solution. We explored it and wanted to create it, but the truth is the technology doesn't exist there to push out video. It is the right solution for the time being. Something else will probably emerge down the road, but right now it's really the only way to get video replays in the hand. The device is sort of cumbersome, but I think the experience will be worth it.
Q: Mark, how many teams are actually going to use Fan Vision?
Waller: I don't know. Our job is not to scorecard. Our job is to provide the infrastructure and the options and teams will either go: "Yes, that's a good idea. We'll buy into it." Or go: "No, actually we've got a different idea that we're looking into and we'll buy into that." So I don't know what the number is. But where is the revenue going to come from? It's going to come from innovating around the game-day experience. It's going to come from the offseason. We have 180 million fans and come February we turn the product off. Not many businesses do that. They find a way to say, "Hey, what are we going to do for those 180 million fans for the other six months of the year when we're not playing football?" It's going to come from youth. You guys are, I think you said, setting up a kids' area in your stadium. We're looking at a deal with Nickelodeon to bring an animated idea, which in itself is kind of small, but if it's successful it will be huge.
I think Jamey hit on it. Our job has to be to get ideas out there and test them. Some will be brilliant, some will fail, and hopefully if we put enough out there we'll constantly be raising the bar. I think we didn't give Steve a platform of support. What we gave Steve was the opportunity to tell his 31 co-owners about a fan service idea that he feels very strongly about. I don't know how many have ended up taking it, but those who have taken it I'm sure will push it very hard, and those that haven't will find an alternative.
Bidwill: I think the fans are going to like it a lot, but like anything new you've got to work through some of the issues, technology issues, infrastructure issues and the timing of getting this product out.
Higgins: I don't think any team has solved this issue. When you create an app or any kind of service platform that's meant for everybody to be using at the same time, the user experience is so bad that you defeat their expectations and you do more harm than good.
Please see tomorrow's issue of THE DAILY for Part Two of the roundtable discussion.

Breathe in and savor the air. As long as you're in Marin or San Francisco, and not San Jose or Oakland, that is.
San Francisco and the North Bay enjoy some of the cleanest air in the region, according to a report released by the American Lung Association on Wednesday.
According to the Marin Independent Journal, the nonprofit group examined the levels of ozone, also known as smog, and fine particle pollution to determine who has good air -- and, to Alameda and Santa Clara counties' cases, bad.
Both Alameda and Santa Clara received "F" grades for their air, in contrast to the "A" grades given to San Francisco and Marin.
More than three smog days a year meant an "F" grade, the newspaper reported. No smog days earned an "A".
That said "winter wood smoke in Marin remains an issue," according to lung health watchdogs, who note that children and the elderly are most susceptible to bad air.
Out of roughly 252,000 residents, 15,773 adults in have asthma, as do 3,464 children, the newspaper reported. Another 9,179 people have chronic bronchitis and 4,449 have emphysema, the lung association reported.

The new health care law can be confusing. With terms like "health exchanges," "medicaid expansion" and "government subsidies," it's no wonder that a lot of people still don't understand how the Affordable Care Act works. That's where the "assisters" or "navigators" come in. News4's Doreen Gentzler reports on a group of people whose only job is to help others learn about health care.

Uneasy times in Kashmir
Poor Governance, coupled with rampant corruption, by the Jammu and Kashmir administration spread over decades are accepted as the main reasons for the militancy in the valley. Added to this, the near fraud of the parliamentary elections in 1999 in J&K has shaken the confidence of the people in the state about its commitment to democracy. This was clear during the author's recent visit to Srinagar. These developments are unfortunate because from 1996 onwards, it looked as if, given honest administration, greater recognition of human rights and letting people exercise their democratic right to chose their own representatives, normalcy may be restored. But alas, the rulers in Delhi, of whatever hue, have refused to learn. So, sadly J&K seems to he slipping back. An objective appreciation of the situation, though, may still retrieve the situation.
Many militants who even the at the risk of being misunderstood had been advocating peaceful methods have, because of human rights violations compounded by an insensitive and corrupt local administration, begun to wonder whether their avoidance of gun culture was the correct policy. They are still not advocating a return to the gun. They realize that in these days, no armed movement can succeed against a modern state like India. But even momentary rethinking by them shows the extent of disillusionment even amongst the moderate sections.
An impression is being given by the government circles that militancy is now almost dead and that it is only a couple of thousand of foreign mercenaries, mainly Pakistanis, who are keeping it alive. The authors interaction with various sections of the population and political leaders and officials shows that this assessment is unrealistic. The failure of the foreign militants to cause much damage does not mean that militancy has lost its appeal. Instead, desperate actions by them are creating a favorable atmosphere for them in the villages. Because of the changed strategy by Pakistan, the militants behaviour and their interaction with the people have not led to complaints of extortion or mis-behaviour as in the past. Rather, the foreign militants guest a sympathetic reception. The local militants are being paid much more than before to cross over the Line of Control. With unemployed youth numbering over a lakh, there is a ready field for local recruitment.
The security forces are going to be under still greater stress in ·view, of the reports of the Pakistan's support to infiltrators and General Musharraf publicly proclaiming that there can be no peace with India so long as the Kashmir question remains unresolved. It is because of these stresses that the search and cordon exercises routinely done by security forces at odd hours lead to excess and consequent resentment. The son of an advocate related one such incident to us when we went to the High Court (where layers were on strike on December 6). His father had been picked up in the morning, taken to the police station and beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized. His uncle of 75 years had received similar treatment. Unless the guilty in such cases are punished, bitterness will only increase.
As it is, High Court Bar complained of making a mockery of habeas corpus petitions against detention. Out of 19,000 such petitions, which were filed, only 2,000 were heard and the rest became infractus because of the expiry of the period of detention. This is a matter of grave concern because as Justice Brennan of the US Supreme Court warned "Nothing rankles more in the human heart than a brooding sense of injustice. Illness we can put up with but injustice makes us went to pull things down". Allegations against army excesses are seldom heard, though its part in the recently held elections is a matter of adverse comment.
The role of surrendered militants however is a cause for alarm. Allegations are made of their misdeeds under the protective shield of the special task force (under the Jammu and Kashmir police) and Rashtriya Rifles.
We found, however, that if somehow the bona fides of the government for a respectable settlement can ne established there may be a response from the various groups in J&K. Though in the past various militant groups always emphasized the holding of tripartite talks including Pakistan, there are now agreeable to holding the initial talks bilaterally with the Government of India. There is sufficient recognition by these groups that geopolitical considerations and internal compulsions in the country can nor permit by Government to arrive at a solution which permits Jammu and Kashmir to opt out of India. It appears to me that a broad agreement can be arrived at on the basis of the LoC becoming an international border, coupled with grant of the pre-1953 status to J&K. But, this is subject to the holding of fresh elections to the J&K Assembly under the supervision of body of non-political personnel.

You should not be reading bytestrings from text-mode handles. The more I think about it, the more having a single Handle type for both text and binary data causes problems. There should be some separation so users don't accidentally use a text handle with binary functions, and vice-versa: openFile :: FilePath -> IOMode -> IO TextHandle openBinaryFile :: FIlePath -> IOMode -> IO BinaryHandle hGetBuf :: BinaryHandle -> Ptr a -> Int -> IO Int Data.ByteString.hGet :: BinaryHandle -> IO ByteString -- etc then the enumerators would simply require the correct handle type: Data.Enumerator.IO.enumHandle :: BinaryHandle -> Enumerator SomeException ByteString IO b Data.Enumerator.Text.enumHandle :: TextHandle -> Enumerator SomeException Text IO b I suppose the enumerators could verify the handle mode and throw an exception if it's incorrect -- at least that way, it will fail consistently rather than only in rare occasions.

I haven't been knitting that much so, I haven't been posting. Duh.
In the last month or so we have aquired a few more pets. 8 baby chicks, 2 doves(w/ 1 baby) and 1 puppy. I guess I'd better take some photos and post it soon.
If you look to the left, I have a music player with a few favorites. When I say few I mean few. If you ask me what my favorite bands are we can have an hour long conversation. No joke.
Still have the stupid headaches, but I can still knit a little even with a headache. I can't do lace or decreasing, just ribbing and stockinette.
Have you signed up for Ravelry yet? I love it!

Making the Guestbook Accessible
Forms represent the one area of your web site where you absolutely must commit time and energy to ensure user accessibility. Even though forms represent some of the most complex interactions that can occur on a web page, in many cases these interactions are only represented visually -- via the proximity of a form element to its label, or grouping by borders and background colors. Users of assistive technology such as screen readers may not be able to see these visual clues, so it's vital that you support these users by ensuring accessibility. The key concept behind providing an accessible form is to have descriptive labeling of all its sections and input elements.
In particular, this means the proper usage of two elements: label and legend. There's also an improperly held belief that the only way you can guarantee that a form displays properly is by using tables. All of the code reproduced here for forms is standards-based, semantic markup, so you've got no excuse for relying on tables now! ~ from SitePoint ~

TAMPA — On Friday, Breanna Stewart was like any other 20-year-old kid on a family vacation.
Stewart and teammate Morgan Tuck were basking in the Florida sun, experimenting with something called Water Bikes. When the UConn basketball team had some free time, Tuck joined Stewart's family as they pedaled on the water off the Tampa Riverwalk.
"It was so cool," said a grinning Stewart, eyes widening.
On Saturday, it was back to the business of basketball. For Stewart, that translated to collecting more trophies.
Early in the afternoon, she won the Wade Trophy as the Women's Basketball Coaches Association national player of the year. Stewart was also named to...

The marching band field was quiet.
A freshman saxophone player, Duane Hill, looked up at Goin' Band from Raiderland director Keith Bearden and knew what he wanted to become.
"I just remember looking up the ladder at the 50-yard line and saying, 'I want to do exactly what he's doing. I want that job.' " Hill recalled. "I had no idea how I was going to get there, when I was going to get there, but I knew that was a long-term goal of mine. The fact that it happened so soon, and early in my career is still kind of mind-blowing. I definitely feel like I'm in the place I need to be and should be, that's for sure."
Hill, 31, was officially appointed to marching band director at Texas Tech in the spring after serving in an interim capacity for two years.
The journey to his dream job was a complex one.
Hill first knew he wanted to be a band director in sixth grade. He played saxophone at Lockhart High School, a Class 4A school outside of Austin, and was the first one in his family to be involved with music instead of sports.
He happened to come to Tech by chance.
"I was planning on going to a university closer to my home," Hill said. "A good friend of mine was coming up to Tech, and she didn't want to drive by herself to visit the school, so I drove up with her. I fell in love with the campus. I fell in love with the people. The more I started to find out about the music program, I knew there was no other place for me to go."
Hill said it was the atmosphere that drew him in. The Goin' Band was like a family, and he believed the students mattered.
Even when people told him the Goin' Band was a great program, and he would love it, he didn't fully understand until he was part of the now 87-year-old tradition.
Standing in his first rehearsal, listening to the band, just felt right.
Throughout his years at Tech, Hill was involved with service music fraternity Kappa Kappa Psi and served as social chair and president of the band. Outside of band, he was involved with freshman orientation, served as a community adviser and worked at the Tech radio station.
"That kind of helped mold who I am today and my view on the university and kind of our role in it," he said.
The first time Hill auditioned to be a drum major, he didn't make it. He hadn't prepared as much as he should have, and it showed, he said. The following year, in 2002, he was appointed to assistant drum major.
"It was the last year Mr. Bearden was here. (He) had been here for 23 years," Hill said. "I think it actually was a blessing in disguise. I think I was meant to help with the transition. My last year as drum major — I was one of the lead drum majors — it was Christopher Anderson's first year as a band director. Any transition is difficult to put together. I think I helped, along with several others, of course, with that transition and making it a little bit easier to inform Anderson of some the things that were unique to us and kind of build a bridge between the old and the new."
After graduating in spring 2004, Hill went to work at Leander High School for four years. He said he enjoyed working with young students, helping them mature and grow as musicians.
After speaking with Director of Bands Sarah McKoin, he went against his decision to not return to Tech for graduate school.
It was one more step that would lead him to his dream job.
"The strange thing is, and I still believe this to this day, is I think the reason why God encouraged me to come back to Tech, is this moment now," Hill said. "A lot of things had to fall into place for me to be in this position."
After studying for his master's degree under McKoin, an interim position opened when Anderson went back to get his doctorate. McKoin said Hill had many of the qualifications required, so she pitched that he become involved in the interim.
The position was supposed to last one year, and ended up lasting two. A national search was conducted when the position opened full time, and candidates came from across the nation, McKoin said.
Hill's experiences and qualities stood out among the others.
"Duane's like a big heart with arms and legs. ... He was a former drum major here, so he's got a history with the ensemble," McKoin said. "Your undergraduate institution is always special. It's more special, often, than your graduate program because you're more vested in that time in your life, and it means a great deal. He bleeds red and black. He's got a lot. He's great for the alumni.
"He's part of the thread in the fabric of the traditions of the Goin' Band."
Senior Catherine Cage, one of this season's lead drum majors, said she has learned leadership skills from Hill that she will keep with her when she becomes a teacher.
Hill always is fun to be around and wants what is best for the band, she said.
Hill has an open-door policy and is more than a teacher, Cage said. He's a mentor.
"He really tries hard to make it enjoyable for everyone, which is hard with 400 people," she said. "It's almost impossible, but he does it."
As director of the Goin' Band, Hill wants his students to have their own experiences, not relive his.
He said he doesn't get cocky about the somewhat high-profile job because "when you're doing what you know you're meant to do, it doesn't seem like a big deal."
He works to keep the band involved in the Lubbock community, which has supported the band since it began. The Goin' Band takes time to perform at local high school football games, in the Lubbock Band Extravaganza and the Lubbock Music Festival, he said.
Hill said he was beginning to get jitters as today's 6 p.m. season opener against Northwestern State approached.
Cage also is anticipating the Goin' Band's first halftime performance of the season.
"There's so many traditions that kind of faded throughout the years, and (Hill) is bringing them back in and kind of revamping them and kind of putting a style on the Goin' Band and making it better than it's ever been before," she said.
The band is in a new location this year. It's been moved to the south end zone for amplified sound.
Hill said the season will be a good mix of old and new for the Goin' Band from Raiderland.
"I'm just really excited," he said. "It's kind of interesting because a lot of people consider this to be my first year, although I've been here the last two years in this particular role. I'm excited for our students and our fans to get a taste of something that's a little bit fresh, that's just a little different."

Homeless Man Shows Us How to be Better Human Beings
Glen James never expected so much as a pat on the back for doing what he knew in his heart was the right thing. But a slew of supporters are still inundating him with praise, donations and support for showing us all how to be better people.
The upstanding homeless Boston man has become something of a local celebrity after the city caught wind of how he returned a backpack filled with $2,400 in cash and $39,500 in traveler's checks, the Boston Herald reported. After James turned in the bag, which he found at the South Bay Mall in Dorchester, the police decided to honor the scrupulous guy.
"[His actions] were really a remarkable tribute to him and his honesty," Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said at the ceremony, according to Boston.com
But a plaque and some kind words weren't enough for some of James' fans.
When Ethan Whittington, a Virginia native, caught wind of the story he decided to launch an online campaign to raise funds for James.
"Let's all chip in and help this man change his life," Whittington wrote on the gofundme fundraising site. "Every little donation helps. Let's be reassured that there is still hope and humanity in our great nation."
As soon as the campaign went up, donations started pouring in.
The fund had collected more than $22,000 as of press time.
Whittington told Boston Magazine that he plans on coordinating with the Boston Police Department to make sure that James gets the donations.
"Mr. James has restored my faith in humanity," wrote one donor who gave $10.
For James, returning the money was as obvious of a decision for him.
"Even if I were desperate for money, I would not have kept even a…penny of the money I found," James said at the ceremony, according to Boston.com. "I am extremely religious — God has always very well looked after me."

[World Streets] Listening to children
Listening to children
Journal of World Transport Policy and Practice
Volume 15, Number 1. March 2010
This issue contains two articles that on first reading may appear totally unrelated. This is not the case. The Kinnersly article – "Transport and climate change on a planet near you " - is a comprehensive reflection on the links between economic growth, poor quality democracy, lack of will to deal with sustainability and biodiversity and the perversity of reckless decision taking that supports a business as usual (BAU) model of the world. Tranter and O"Brien in "Positive psychology, walking and well-being: Can walking school buses survive a policy of school closure?", show convincingly and persuasively that a child-centred policy based on listening to children, thinking about the wider issues around children and the journey to school can bring about a very different outcome to the ones currently on offer. Kinnersly"s well-founded worries about BAU are neatly dealt with by the childc-entred model (CCM) advanced by Tranter and O"Brien. Equally there will be other non-BAU models that raise alternative visions and perspectives and this journal want to hear from older people, those with mobility difficulties and those who live in the accessibility poor "facility deserts" that we have created in many British cities.

Mya Keeps It Sexy and Simple in 'Mr. Incredible' Video
Subscribe to WTUG.com on
Mya made a comeback in 2011, with her independent album 'K.I.S.S.' (Keep It Sexy and Simple). Now she closes 2012 with a sensuous video for her latest single, 'Mr. Incredible.' Apparently, her fans voted for this song as their favorite track from the LP and Mya treated them to a video.
Directed by Derek Brown, the clip features an afro-wearing Mya taking a bubble bath and singing about her ultimate man. Shot in a style reminiscent of old home movies, the visuals are grainy, however, we can still see Mya's shadowy bodacious figure throughout. At the end of the clip, Mya thanks her fans for supporting the 'K.I.S.S.' album.
Much like the LP's title, Mya kept it sexy and simple here.

Bradley Wiggins has gone back on his decision not to defend his Tour de France title, raising the prospect of going head-to-head with his Sky team-mate Chris Froome for cycling's ultimate crown,
On the back of a successful return to training in Mallorca after his close encounter with a car in early November Wiggins appears to have changed his mind although in September and October he was saying he would most probably focus his attention on the Giro d'Italia and then support Froome in the Tour. "My goal is to win the Tour next year," Wiggins told BBC Radio. "Whether that is realised or not, I don't know really."
"I'm probably going to try and win a second Tour de France, so I don't know, maybe we'll have two leaders," Wiggins added.
In his recently published account of his Tour de France and Olympic success this year Wiggins said his biggest fear was returning to the Tour and failing to perform to his own high expectations. But according to his coach, Shane Sutton, his training in Mallorca in recent weeks has reassured the Tour winner and Olympic gold medallist that he is in better form than expected. In other words, that fear appears to have been dispelled.
"He's obviously going well, he's in a good place," Sutton told the Guardian. "He's realised that he's starting on a very high platform [of fitness] because of what he's done in the last two years. The volume of work he's done is clearly standing him in good stead. He's training well at the moment." Wiggins apparently completed 28 hours in training in one week recently in Mallorca and clocked up another 15 hours in the first three days of this week, with a seven-hour ride on Wednesday.
"He's already said he wanted to do a good Tour but coming in under the radar," said Sutton. "Now he's put his hand up. He will be ready to defend his title but, if he's given the order, he will work for Froomy." Wiggins said he felt it was now for Team Sky's management to work out how to accommodate both his and Froome's ambitions and admitted he had not explored how his decision to go for a repeat title would affect the team.
"I don't know – it's more [Sky head] Dave's [Brailsford] problem, really, to worry about. It's just how we service both mouths – that's more the problem to figure out." That appears to leave Sky in a similar situation to 12 months ago, when the issue was how to accommodate the needs of Mark Cavendish and Wiggins at the Tour de France. That one went the way of Wiggins.
However, while stating that he wanted to defend his Tour title, Wiggins repeated his assertions of earlier this year that he is prepared to support Froome if the team appoint him leader. "Whatever the team strategy is, I'll support that, otherwise you don't take the start line because there will be someone else who is willing to fulfil that job," he said. "It's a case of doing what's asked of you on the day, whatever that decision is."
Sky have yet to finish their analysis of the 2013 Tour de France and Giro d'Italia routes, which may help explain why the decision of who leads the team in the Tour has been reopened. But in 2009 Wiggins based his successful Tour de France – he finished fourth and was promoted to third after Lance Armstrong's disqualification for doping – on completing the Italian Tour.
Wiggins's racing programme for 2013 has yet to be finalised but has provisionally been based around his attempt to become the first Briton to win the Giro but, as Sutton points out, there is still space for him to try to win the Tour as well. "He would have 50 days of racing in his legs after the Giro, which is more than normal, so it's going to be vital how we handle his recovery. But we know how to pay attention to that."
If Wiggins goes for the Giro he is likely to miss Paris-Nice, which he won this year, in favour of Tirreno-Adriatico, the Italian stage race which is held at the same time. He would also then race the Giro del Trentino in late April. His season is likely to start either at the Tour of Algarve on 13-17 February, in which he won a stage last year, or with racing in the series of one-day events in Mallorca from 3 February.

Need To Make A Cement/rough Look For Tombstone Cake.
Decorating By dandy207 Updated 21 Oct 2005 , 3:59am by msty112
Im kinda new at this cake stuff, im doing a tombstone cake, and i want the frosting to have a cement look to it. Any suggestions?
Hi. Today I made a haunted castle and I was kinda going for the cement look as well. I colored my buttercream grey. I then frosted the cake and did not do any special smoothing. I then took some black wilton icing spray and gave it a kind of airbrushed look. I think it would have turned out better with an actual airbrush machine...but it did not turn out bad. The other option would be to use a patterned paper towel to give you some texture.
A clean, broken piece of sponge or a sea sponge might do it too and I think it might work better if you're using crusting bc.
do they make a grey colored dye? The black tends to look a little too purple when using only a little bit.
I would sponge paint it and then use some a paintbrush with black and make little cracks.
