Faith and Values: Convoy of Hope aims for 'poverty-free day' in CdA next summer
Sat., Oct. 19, 2013
Is hope tangible?
I'm encouraged that area churches now are planning to make it so, as preparations get underway for a Convoy of Hope outreach to needy families in Kootenai County.
Church and community leaders met this week in Coeur d'Alene to begin laying the groundwork for a "poverty-free day" in Coeur d'Alene next summer.
It's hoped that thousands of "guests" will be encouraged in practical ways by receiving meals, groceries, haircuts, health services, family portraits and employment leads via a job fair – free of charge. All of that will happen on one day, in one location, both yet to be announced.
What encourages me about this effort is that it necessitates tearing down parochial walls that often keep Christians from serving their communities together. Yes, doctrinal differences matter, but they need not always keep us from partnering to more broadly express the grace and love of Jesus Christ to our neighbors.
Jesus said "the poor you will have with you always" (New King James Version, John 12:8). That means there always will be opportunity to serve those in need with our time, money, skills and personal presence. Helping the poor is not merely an opportunity for certain churches with a social justice bent, nor is it primarily the task of government.
To the contrary, human need is something Christ puts in front of every one of His followers, so that we might learn to hold on loosely to the time, treasure and talent he has blessed us with. We are not so much owners of these things but stewards of God-given resources.
Our challenge is to be ready – and cheerful – when God wants to move his stuff around.
God also uses our own seasons of need to humble us so that we depend on him and gratefully receive help from those he sends our way. Such help is not an entitlement but something to accept with thanksgiving.
The idea pitched at Coeur d'Alene's Kroc Center this week is simple but big: rally the county's churches, social and health service providers, and businesses to fight poverty together. Similar one-day outreaches in cities throughout the U.S. have helped create bonds among such groups so they can better help the needy long term.
"This is not a hit-and-run, one-day compassion exercise so we can feel good about ourselves," said Darwin Boston, Convoy of Hope's outreach director. "This is a catalyst to … lock arms and come together and make a lasting impact in the community."
I'm praying that part of the lasting impact will relate to the deeper hope that comes to people by knowing Jesus Christ as savior. The certainty of forgiven sin, right standing with God, and adoption into his family is an eternal hope. It is also free.
Happily, volunteers who serve at next year's outreach will be able to share the good news about Jesus Christ with the guests who come for help. A connections center will be at the site, staffed with volunteers who will pray with and minister to anyone open to discussing spiritual needs.
"Eighty percent of our guests will say 'yes' to prayer," Boston said. "We're very casual about that. We just want God to do his work."
The poverty-free day planned in Coeur d'Alene is part of a multiyear tour by Convoy of Hope to all 50 states. At stops in each state, an average of $1 million worth of goods and services are provided in a single day. Each outreach includes live entertainment and activities for children in a carnival-like atmosphere.
Based in Springfield, Mo., Convoy of Hope was founded in 1994 and has become a global movement where Christian churches, businesses, government agencies and other organizations join forces to carry out feeding initiatives, community outreaches and disaster response.
For more information, go to Day of Hope North Idaho on Facebook or northidaho.convoyofhope.org, or call Deb Ayers at (208) 676-0632 to volunteer to help.

Hi Marlene, fortunately, the governments in the past were too busy with other issues to pass laws on what the name of our ethnic group is. Most scholars (though not all) are gentlemen and ladies and rarely pummel anyone about it. That doesn't apply to the rest of us. I've been abused for 'misuse' of the term. I fear the next time that happens I will do some pummeling of my own........
Anyway, the Scotch Irish Society of America is a scholarly organization whose scholars have researched the situation thoroughly and published their research. Anyone can read their journal or submit additional research: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sisusa/ .
I've spent many a dreary day reading old Scottish parish records in which the ancestors of today's Scots purists call themselves "Scotch". It's a neolism. The issue gives our enemies much cause for howling laughter. So much real stuff to fight about in this world and we fight about this? What idiots. We all can call ourselves whatever we like, but we must refrain from abusing or bullying others over it.
However the corruption is the other way as Scotch was definitely used for people in America in the 1700s (if I recall correctly), by Queen Lizzie in the 1500s, proceeded by #$#$#$%%!!! and refering to Catholic highlanders (not the ancestors of lowland Scots who would one day settle there after she was dead), and as I said, in the parish records of lowland Scotland.
But as long as nothing too offensive preceeds the Scotch or Scots, I try to not take offense, myself. It was and is a free country but if you really anger me, I invoke a mean Irish fairy curse. My mother once cursed a guy with four flat tires and he had them all on the way home. No one messes with us twice......and it's neither the Scot or Scotch in us you best should fear.
This topic comes up periodically on this list and is much dreaded as there is hardly ever anything intelligent said about it, just my grandma this and that and a few lecturings by self appointed purity police.
God bless the Irish -- at least they fight over real issues....not a couple letters. Really, is there another ethnic group this idiotic on the entire planet? It's embarrassing.. People laugh, you know. Especially the Irish.
Help! We need a thread on religion or politics, fast......just joking!

I could be wrong in this, [usually] but my mother's ancestors were
among those who called them Scotch-Irish. It always
bothered me because it is obviously Scots-Irish. I just don't think
they knew the right term. The word could have been used as
saying that they were Scots, but somehow became corrupted into Scotch.
{I don't know if they had that drink there or not, if so
perhaps that would be the reason] ha ha.

SOUTH Australian Premier Jay Weatherill says his government will reflect on Saturday's federal election result and see what lessons can be learnt ahead of the next state election in March.
Mr Weatherill said there would be no kneejerk reaction to Labor's loss federally, though it was clear that voters would no longer tolerate disunity within a political party.
"I think it's a bit presumptuous to look at these results and draw any clear conclusions about the next state election," the premier told reporters on Monday.
"I'm going to reflect upon these results and analyse them and see whether there are any lessons that can be learnt."
Labor lost just one seat on Saturday but suffered big swings against sitting MPs in a number of other electorates.
Mr Weatherill said translating those results to state seats would have the government retain some but lose others.
Labor currently holds 26 seats in the 47-seat parliament, with Liberals on 18 and three independents.
Opposition Leader Steven Marshall said the federal election was a great result for the coalition in South Australia.
"No doubt the issues that are going to be discussed at a state level next year will be different from the ones at the federal level," he said.
"But at the heart of it all, is rebuilding the economy. Getting our economy back on track."

The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy was the first document approved at the Second Vatican Council. Unlike the council's other major documents, it sailed through the approval process fairly readily, although a tiny but vocal minority at first raised strenuous objections.
Many of the Catholic Church's teachings are vilified in both the high and popular cultures, but none more than its doctrines concerning marriage and sexuality. Time and again, the Church's views on sex are characterized as puritanical, life denying and hopelessly outdated – holdovers from the Bronze Age.
Re: "Science will never prove that God does exist" (WCR, Oct. 15).
Despite the growth of secularism, increased hostility toward Christianity and sinful behaviour by some Church ministers, members of the Synod of Bishops said they are optimistic about the future because of Christ's promise of salvation.
Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto took possession of his titular church Oct. 23, celebrating an evening Mass at St. Patrick's Church in Rome.
The world's huge technological and scientific progress hasn't always made people freer or happier, Pope Benedict said.
Paolo Gabriele, the pope's former butler who was found guilty of aggravated theft, was transferred from house arrest to a Vatican prison cell to begin his 18-month sentence.
Church teaching against abortion "requires absolute adherence" on the part of Catholic voters, who must "stand united" in opposition to the practice regardless of party affiliation, said Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia.
A large U.S. study on faith and political views released Oct. 23 highlighted Catholics' interest in having social justice take a bigger role in the Church's policy priorities.

The site is http://www.karenstreetchildren.org
Working fine up to a few days ago.
The front page is now corrupt, and I would be grateful for advice.
I feel once you look at it, you may immediately know where to point me.
I read you once advised a customer to post a .php file on a website somewhere so you could read it.
I cannot find that site, or I would offer to upload my index.php content (or whichever file that might cause the error?)
You can use gist.github (https://gist.github.com/) for pasting in code, but most likely the problem is outside of index.php.
I see you have the site in a subdirectory, but all your stylesheet includes are based on the root directory. Could you go to Settings > General and tell me what you have as your WordPress address (URL)? It should be http://karenstreetchildren.org/cubit/.
Hi Noah,
I'm showing my ignorance here….. not sure which 'Settings – General' you mean?
If you mean in the WordPress dashboard, I cannot access it.
But yes, the WordPress files are loaded in karenstreetchildren.org/cubit
But it looks as though I shall have to reload WordPress – or at least tidy up the subdirectory/rootdirectory business.
The topic 'CUBIT – front page lost structure' is closed to new replies.

I read this and initially thought "bah. Rubbish" but then enjoyed it.
Then I saw the byline, goodness gracious, Tabatha Legett has finally written something decent.
Of course the man can see the future. Just watch Nathan Barley.
Yup, if I notice someone in the gym looking lost I always try and make them feel welcome, generally if I'm looking at someone, I'm wondering whether to go over & say hello.
Great article, thankyou. Will use things I learned here to be more considerate in the future.
I haven't read past number 1. I used to play that as a child andhad NO IDEA it was available online. Thankyou and Goodbye, am off to spend the rest of my life playing this.

Your Grandfather is a true Gentleman, he did this because he didn't care who was filming, instead of BECAUSE someone was filming.
So much this.
Great read.
I could have read a lot more of that. I'm not sure if it was written that way or possibly slightly over-edited. What I did read was great though. Thank you.
Tutorials with videos or illustrated steps may have improved this.
I feel like I would end up resembling the Union Jack.

The Edmonton Eskimos are going to the playoffs, but their general manager isn't.
The CFL team announced Saturday it had fired Eric Tillman after finishing the 2012 regular season with a 7-11 record. While that was enough to qualify Edmonton for the East Division playoffs, it sent them to last place in the West.
"I have spent considerable time looking at the future direction of this club and did not see Eric as a part of this team moving forward," Eskimos' president and CEO Len Rhodes said in a statement. "We will begin our search for a new general manager immediately and hope to have a successor in place by the end of the calendar year."
The Eskimos, who won only two of their last 10 games, began the season without their No. 1 quarterback Ricky Ray. Tillman traded him to the Toronto Argonauts to free up salary cap space and to go with journeyman quarterback Steven Jyles.
Jyles was injured for part of the season and replaced by Kerry Joseph, then Matt Nichols. The Eskimos have yet to name their starting quarterback for the Eastern semifinal in Toronto against the Ray-led Argonauts.
Edmonton initially played surprisingly well, but then slumped under Tillman, who was hired to replace Dan Maciocia. In his 12 years as a CFL GM, Tillman had four Grey Cup appearances and three wins.
Last season, the Eskimos advanced to the Western Final before losing to the eventual Grey Cup-champion B.C. Lions.

its like the early days of mountain biking all over again,
i remember being asked these type of questions repeatedly back in the late 80s when i got my first mountain bike.

took about 5 years til mtb was mainstream.
Bike Forum
Reactions to a fat bike
its like the early days of mountain biking all over again,
In your case, Mike, it's you and not the bike that turns me on..!
Back off Househusband....he's already spoken for
MESSAGE TO YODA. Have you been round to look at my frame yet ?
Back off Househusband....he's already spoken for
We could share..? There is plenty to go round, after all...
Thats a low blow.......
You can only wish for a blow that low...
Besides, need I remind you that at the end of our last bike ride I caught you in the kitchen with your ass in the fridge - and you told me it was so I'd have 'something cool to slip into'..?
i thought you had to be a fatty with no dress sense like this idiot
bike by kind permission of John Climber
no, you dont have to be like that ^ idiot
folks just like them although in my experience, the strongest reaction was down to to fact that I'd got me booze in cage on the fork, some single speedy types get excited by the strangest things.
I think fat bikes are super cool, ice cold infact.
I'm saving my pennys for one someday.
You **** know the score chips.
We could share..? There is plenty to go round, after all...
OK, we'll have to be careful, we don't want to split him <sticks fingers down throat smiley>
OK. You guys give me a shout before hand. That way I can have a defibrillator on hand in case one of you trip yourselves out.
Wait a minute....
You're baith fuds, bald, have "compliant" frames and are older than me! Is this a conspiracy????
Looks like a Moto-X bike without the engine....i'd like to have a go on one over sand and snow which is presumably where these bikes excel....but they do look stupid....
....and surely riding them on normal trails makes the rider just as ripe for a ribbing as the storm troopers on 6 inch travel FS bikes riding round trail centres?
They look absolutely fun, i'd love to have a spin on one.
qwerty - Member
They look absolutely fun, i'd love to have a spin on one.
If your ever up in Cheshire, then you're more than welcome to borrow mine..
And Tim at Sideways has a nice selection too...
and Charlie in Swanage. and if you're ever in Bristol I could do rides...(as long as you're a hobbit)........
I always get blamed for this!, well if it cost you a divource then sorry but hopefully you came through with your fatty
I will take anyone out for a days ride on a fatty and can garantee if you do not smile from riding these things then you would be as well taking up Golf...
Who cares about folk that hate them... do what makes you happy

Child labour is generally accepted to be bad. Aside from being hazardous to individuals not yet mentally and physically developed, it also often correlates with not being able to attain an education, leading to increased risk of poverty over the course of their life. Most nations have laws in place to attempt to prevent child labour practices, and United Nations has several international laws and treaties in place. But according to the new the risk analysis firm Maplecroft's child labour index for 2014, it is still alive and well. High income inequality, government corruption or inefficiency, poor economic growth, and an already existing trend of poverty are all major contributors to leading to scenarios where child labour is practiced. Here are the top ten worst nations for child labour according to Maplecroft.
Consistently ranked as one of the worst nations across almost all spectrums of civil liberties and human rights, it should come as no surprise that the poverty stricken nation with it's general lack stability tops the list.
Child labour is even enforced by the Eritrean government, which enforces the policy of Mahtot, wherein children are required to work at least 2 months out of the year in-between school.
Without a stable government since 1991, Somalia suffers from high rates of child soldiers and few if any laws or regulations to prevent child labor.
According to the Department of Labour, "Somalia continue(s) to lack nearly all elements necessary to address the worst forms of child labor, including a solid legal framework, law enforcement, policies, and programs. Children continue to engage in the worst forms of child labor, many of them in dangerous activities in agriculture and some as child soldiers."
Although the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has signed UN treaties on child labour, the nation still continues to struggle. The military and rebel groups still actively kidnap or recruit child soldiers and laborers, and according to the Department of Labour children are often engaged in risky mining activities, such as "forced labor in the mining of gold, cassiterite (tin ore), coltan (tantalum ore), and wolframite (tungsten ore)."
Only just coming out of its shell after decades under a repressive military junta, Myanmar is still plagued with several problems left over from her economic isolation and constant warfare with ethnic groups.
Notorious for having the largest amount of child soldiers in the world, Myanmar also has few laws against child labour and suffers from lack of enforcement.
Another war and instability ridden African nation, according to the Child Labour Coalition "nearly one-third of children between 10 and 14 work (in Sudan)."
Suffering from almost constant warfare since the Soviet invasion in 1979, the central asian nation of Afghanistan has a stunted economy and a government that fails to exert total influence over the nation.
While the nation has made progress in reducing child labour, it still ranks high, with Daily Outlook Afghanistan noting "According to estimates up to 30 percent of primary school age children are engaged in some form of work and are often the sole source of income for their families."
Despite making moderate advances in improving the situation of child labour laws in the country - chiefly creating child labour laws and increasing efforts to put children in school - Pakistan, according to the Department of Labour, "continues to lack sufficient legal protections for working children."
Children are still heavily involved in agricultural labour and are even forced into bonded labour.
Though Zimbabwe has created programs intended to help combat child labour, "the Government has not sufficiently funded these efforts," according to observations by the Department of Labour.
Education is also neither free or compulsory in the African nation, which has an effect. Child labour is heavily involved in agriculture and mining.
Wracked by what is essentially civil war for several years now, the government of Yemen appears to have simply either not had the time or not deemed child labour a big enough issue to combat child labour. Indeed, it would appear that the government has made no effect to stop the conscription of child soldiers into the armed forces, something replicated by the nations rebel forces.
One of the five poorest nations in the world, Burundi suffers from near constant conflict, extreme corruption, almost no access to education, and is racked with HIV/AIDS. Amongst all these problems, it doesn't come as a surprise that the country has done almost nothing to prevent child labour in the tiny, landlocked African nation.

John Masi admits his team needs a day off, and it would be hard to blame UCR if it feels a bit like a punching bag even this early in its non-conference schedule.
"I'll have to tell you (tonight)," Masi said earlier this week. "If we play real well, we won't feel like that at all."
The first portion of the Highlanders' season is undeniably theirtoughest -- in a span of 13 days, they have pinballed from LoyolaMarymount to Washington to Arizona State, and finish that stretchwith tonight's 7:30 p.m. visit to UCLA. But even though they'veaccumulated an 0-3 record playing a Pac-10 heavy schedule, a win atPauley Pavilion might make it all worthwhile.
"No doubt, it would give you a little notoriety on the front page of a lot of newspapers in Southern California," Masi said. "It would be a tremendous boost to the kids' confidence.
"More important, though, is how we compete."
The duality of Masi's motivation speaks loudly about the stateof his program. The Highlanders are searching for respect in theirthird year playing in the Big West and need challenging early gamesto prepare them for conference play, and thus might be pleased evenwith a competitive defeat. But it isn't lost on them that beatingthe 11-time national champion Bruins could provide a powerfulrecruiting tool.
With UCLA down following its worst season in 60 years and learning to play under new coach Ben Howland, that possibility doesn't seem as far fetched as might be expected. UCLA beat UCR, 65-50 in the teams' only previous meeting two years ago.
"This gives us a window of opportunity," Masi said. "We have a better opportunity than in years past to go in and pull off an upset."
Howland compared UCR favorably to Vermont, an NCAA tournament qualifier last year who presented a challenge in UCLA's 68-67 opening-day win Saturday.
"(UC Riverside) is a much more athletic team that Vermont," Howland said in his media conference Tuesday. "I think they're a better team than Vermont, and Vermont gave us all we could handle."
UCR's level of success tonight will largely depend on its ability to counter some potential mismatches that strongly favor the home team. UCLA starts four players standing 6-foot-6 or taller, compared with just two for the Highlanders. Because of that, Masi said he may peg 6-11 Klaus Schille or 6-8 David Jobe to join Vili Morton in the front court, then move forward Nate Carter -- the team's leading scorer at 15.7 points per game -- to a guard spot and bump point guard Brett Ost out of the starting lineup.
"They played ASU very tough," Howland said. "Butler is a very good athlete, and their two inside kids (Morton and Carter) had 19 and 18 (points) vs. ASU. They're good players."
Seven-foot center Michael Fey led the Bruins with 20 points and collected eight rebounds against Vermont. Forward Dijon Thompson added 18 points and nine rebounds, and guard Cedric Bozeman contributed 12 points and nine assists. Ryan Hollins' free throw with 4.8 seconds left secured a win that was anything but comfortable.
The Bruins don't look to be nearly as strong this year as they've been historically, but that history still makes them an intimidating opponent.
"I expect our guys to be extremely fired up to play this game," Masi said. "This is the place that everybody has looked up to for years in Southern California. Butler, Bell and Morton have all played there. For the other guys, we'll try to keep their focus on the floor and not (the championship banners hanging from) the ceiling."

Reading the menu vs. eating it
Transitory Gaslamp means you have to straddle tastes
Patrick Henderson 8:03 p.m., Nov. 24
Located in the Pecos Valley, Roswell grew up around large cattle ranches on land previously occupied by Mescalero Apaches. From the development of Fort Stanton in 1855 to the closure of the Walker Air Force Base – home to the world's longest runways in the '70s – the town had always had a strong military presence.
Fort Stanton was first founded as a frontier outpost to protect settlers from Indian raids. But it owes its fame to having later stationed the infamous Buffalo Soldiers.
Today, the economic well-being of the town no longer depends on either ranchers or the military, but is derived mainly from the thousands of tourists who come to learn about the 1947 Roswell Incident. What began as a solo sighting of an alleged alien spaceship crash is now a multi-million dollar tourism attraction. It is not the crash to which the "Incident" refers, however, but rather to the subsequent cover-up of the recovery of the craft and occupants.
The military officially maintained and still maintains that the hoopla resulted from the crash of an experimental, and classified, high-altitude surveillance balloon. Thirty years later, in 1978, retired personnel that had worked at the supposed crash site began contradicting the official claim, effectively resurrecting the famous, controversial UFO mystery just in time to revitalize the depressed town that only a few years before had lost half its population with the closing of the Walker Air Force base.
Driving the main drag, there is visible evidence of the success of this marketing scheme. With names like "Not of This World Coffee Shop," replica flying disks mounted on roofs and pillars such as the one at the local McDonald's, and giant green plastic inflatable aliens looming in almost every shop window, it's easy to doubt and even mock the verity of the original incident for which Roswell is best known.
Not surprisingly, I had to practically drag my friend through the doors of the UFO Museum and Research Center, whose mission is to provide an educational resource pertaining to UFO phenomena.
If not grudgingly, certainly with his tongue firmly planted in cheek, he accompanied me as we paid for our tickets. As he made his way from one exhibit to the next, he became less and less cynical and more and more absorbed in the mystery that had captured my interest as a wee lass.
Exhibits included information on the Incident, of course, as well as on crop circles, other UFO sightings, the mysteries of Area 51 (a military airfield in Nevada where experimental aircraft and weapons systems are tested), and abductions.

Love me some SRPG action, but there's something about this game that seems off-putting... Maybe it's the big skill "cinematic" animations, the voice acting... Not sure I can put my finger on it. I'll still probably get it, though.
EDIT: Also, I see a lot of comments both on the youtube page and on the blog of people asking for this game to be on Vita. I thought the PSVita could play PSN downloaded games like the PSP?
So, got a PS3 now. What's good on the store? I bought The Sly Cooper HD thing at retail before I plugged the thing in and saw it on sale for half the price I paid for it. So I don't need that.

CALGARY - Olli Jokinen knows what its like to win the world junior hockey championship on home soil.
But over in Finland, it might not have been quite the same as it would be for the Canadian kids playing in front of their fervent fans in Edmonton and Calgary over the next couple of weeks.
The building was full thats very unusual over there in the junior stage, the Flames centre said of the 1998 world juniors in Helsinki and Hameenlinna. I remember we played against Canada Dec. 25, and there was maybe 5,000-6,000 people in the first period. People were watching the game on TV and saw there was a lot of empty seats.
By the end of the second period, the building was full.
By the end of the game, Finland had filled the Canadians stockings with coal. Losing to the hosts in the first game of the tournament started Team Canada towards a shocking eighth-place finish in the annual event.
Nobody was expecting us to win. We kind of took off after that we didnt lose a game, recalled Jokinen, who was named top forward at the tournament. We ended up beating Russia in overtime (on a goal from former Flames forward Niklas Hagman) in front of the home crowd.
It was a good experience.
Winning at home always is.
Blake Comeau did it in Vancouver in 2006, going undefeated under then-Canada head coach Brent Sutter to claim gold.
Being in Vancouver and being able to win gold there I was able to have my family there and friends, said Comeau, who paced Team Canada with seven points (three goals, four assists) in six games.
It was definitely exciting.
Pressure-filled, too.
Theres no such thing as settling for silver when it comes to the Canadian fans especially when theyre watching the games in person.
It doesnt matter what country youre in or where youre playing, if youre putting on the Team Canada jersey, theres gonna be those expectations of winning gold and the pressure that goes along with it, Comeau said. But its a good kind of pressure.
I think its more excitement. It was for me, anyway.
Apprehension might be the best word to describe the feelings of their rivals when the game is played on Canadian soil.
Thats more what Flames defenceman Chris Butler felt while playing for USA in the 2006 tournament in Vancouver.
Its not televised (in the U.S.). Its not a Boxing Day tradition like it is in Canada. It wasnt anything I really grew up with, said the St. Louis native. For me, I was just amazed how much it means to Canada. I think I was pretty excited we got a chance to play in Canada, because thats where I think the tournament really means the most to the people.
Butler recalls being stunned that a game between the Americans and Switzerland was sold out.
Every single person in the building except for our parents cheering for Switzlerland it was funny, Butler said. It goes to show the rivalry between the (U.S. and Canada).
His only regret is that he never got to suit up against the hosts.
I separated my shoulder against Switzerland the day before we played Canada that was frustrating for me, Butler said. Being American, thats the game you really look forward to playing Canada in Canada.
For me, it was a blast. It was the first time I ever got to put on that U.S. sweater. A tremendous amount of pride sets in. Ive still got that sweater. It means a lot to represent your country.
Jokinen feels the same way.
Its always an honour. I was able to play twice (at the) world juniors, said the veteran of three Olympics and many world championships.
Playing the final game, and Haggie (Hagman) scoring the final goal and beating Russia every time you are able to win something at any level those are the memories youre going to remember the rest of your life.
Especially those lived on home ice.

I was a little sceptical at first as not heard of this online company before but I booked it and was really pleased that everything worked out smoothly and perfectly. Great seats to the show also which was an added bonus as usually seats are in the "heavens" of the theatre but got Stalls which was great! Hotel was lovely too and a good location. :Lovely pool and spa facilities which were free for us to use even though was on a room only basis.
Overall very pleased and would used again!

Date Climbed: Jan 19, 2016
|A group of 5 plus two guides climbed the mountain in Jan 2016. Fantastic weather and had the mountain to ourselves.
I've posted a trip report with more details, map image, GPX file and photos. Search for Tupungato 2016 under All Objects or Trip Reports and you should fine the report.

|Tupungato North Ridge from Argentina
|Climbed Tupungato in January 2005 as part of a group of eight from Colorado State University and Fort Collins, CO. We made a multi-day approach from Argentina, setting six personal elevation records when we crossed a 15,000-foot pass on our first day. The whole thing took 16 days, and it remains to this date the greatest adventure I've been on. Great folks. Great mountain. Loved Argentina--yoiks, they know how to live there.

|Chile / Normal "El Hito"
|4 times to the mountain, 3 summits...
As a long-time Aconcagua guide, I think that the normal routes on Tupungato are the perfect alternative to climbs on Aconcagua. Fewer people, cleaner camps, more wild-life.

|Route Climbed: normal chilean route Date Climbed: mid january 1994
|I climbed Tupungato from Chile (normal south west route) mid january 1994 with a french commercial expedition.
Good conditions, but we had some trouble coming back to the last camp on our summit day due to a persistent fog on the immense plateau between Tupungato and Tupungatito. (today, with a GPS, such a problem would not have occured). Fog is quite frequent in the afternoon and disappear gradually in the night (mostly coming from Argentina on this huge plateau).
We were alone on this peak.
Higly recommended for anyone fond of andean wilderness!
Note there are several secondary summits on the summit area (get straight away when climbing the gully on the west side) in the summit area.

TORONTO - Alex Anthopoulos was born and raised in Montreal, and wasn't around when the Blue Jays were winning World Series.
So the Blue Jays GM has never really gotten a sense of what kind of baseball town (or not) Toronto is. He wasn't around in the early 1990s when the Jays were setting MLB records for attendance.
But Anthopoulos said his eyes were opened this year.

The car: Mitsubishi Lancer LX
The price: From $23,990 plus on-road costs
Vital statistics: 2.0-litre four-cylinder; 110kW/197Nm; five-speed manual transmission; 7.1L/100km; FWD
The tester: Matt Campbell
Why we're driving it:
Mitsubishi has just updated the Lancer range and introduced a new mid-range LX model with plenty of goodies inside the cabin.
Extensive standard equipment including leather all-around, driver's seat with electric adjustment, front seats with heating, climate control airconditioning, 16-inch alloy wheels, touch-screen media system with Bluetooth phone and audio streaming and USB input, reversing camera and sensors.
Reasonably good ride. OK engine performance and easy five-speed manual shift action. Good cabin storage. Reasonable rear knee- and toe-room. Interior also has piano black interior touches which do lift the cabin ambience, but...
It still feels less civilised than rivals with hard plastics on the dash and doors. Back seat headroom is tight. Flimsy sun-visors. Driver's seat position is too high, makes taller pilots uncomfortable. No reach adjustment for steering wheel. Woolly steering with some kickback over mid-corner bumps.
Suspension can thump over big bumps, and some body-roll through corners. Lots of road noise intrusion on coarse chip surfaces. Boot is too shallow. Buzzy four-cylinder engine is loud inside the cabin.
Would I buy one?
The Lancer LX is well-equipped for the price, but I'd more likely choose a Ford Focus or Hyundai i30 if value-for-money was my main focus as they offer better all-round packages. Other options I'd have above the Lancer include the Mazda3 and VW Golf.

Hi everyone,
I recently started decorating cakes and am definitely addicted. My fiance has requested a couple of Star Trek themed cakes. I have looked on line and haven't really found a lot of ideas. I would really appreciate any suggestions, etc.
Hi there and welcome to CC, or as we really like to say, welcome to our addiction! Hey, there are worse things to be addicted to!
I did a Star Trek cake and you are right, it was difficult to find ideas on-line. I opted to go for one of the Starfleet badge thingies...see, can't even remember what it was, however I did get the idea from thecakecorner.com. If you look in my photos you will see it, it's pretty straightforward. I really wanted to do the USS Enterprise however I didn't plan things properly.
Good luck and welcome again!
Cat, it would help generate ideas if you could narrow down which Star Trek your fiance likes. Original Star Trek (60's), Star Trek: Next Generation (80's), Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, or Star Trek movies, good grief I can't even remember how many there were...six? Seven? Each series has its own specific badging, ships, and props. If you're trying to please a real Trekophile, the differences are immense. For most, um, "normal" people, a communicator is a communicator.... but Trekkies are a different breed.
Once you've pinned him down on which time period you're trying to cover, then you can do a google image search and ideas will probably jump at you. The Wilton T-shirt cake dressed as a Star Fleet uniform of the correct period is usually well-received. Cakes can be fashioned without too much difficulty in the shape of a phaser, communicator, tricorder, or shuttlecraft. The USS Enterprise would be tough to fashion in 3D, but an image on a sheetcake, while not as flashy, is definitely do-able. Maybe one could be fashioned out of fondant? Hmmmm....
Good luck!!! Would love to see whatever comes of this.
pjccat & texa
Hey texa, I'm in the DFW too.. HI NEIGHBOR!!!!
I know I will date myself with this answer, but a pile of Star Trek Tribbles would be cool in my book.
.... I was just about to send you a picture of a Darth Vader cake .... fortunately I was in time to stop myself ... I'll look arround and see what I can find
I know I will date myself with this answer, but a pile of Star Trek Tribbles would be cool in my book.
I remember that episode! (And, yes, I watched it when it was a 'new episode' -- in glorious black-and-white. How sad is that?)
I can see Tribbles being made with the mini-egg mold and lots of stiff buttercream through the "fur and grass" tip, but colorwise, what would you use? Would be cute to have 'em piled all over the cake, if fiance is an old-time Trekkie.
Thanks for the welcome, BriansBaker -- been around for a while, mostly lurking and reading. Have followed your saga with the cousin and b'day cake fiasco. I feel your pain!
LOL Yes, now I have ANOTHER ONE TO DEAL WITH!!! I had an order from another cousin. (we had this planned for awhile now) A cupcake tower for April 15th.. Her deadline was yesturday for the deposit.. I called her 3 times and no answer.. Her mailbox was full so I couldnt leave a message.. (sigh) I have to order the cupcake tower and if I dont order it TODAY I cannot guarantee that I can have it in time for the event.. I tried to call her again today.. Still no answer.. I think she is avoiding me, due to the fact that they dont have the money.. :cry
how about getting edible images for the cakes ... I contacted my local supermarket publix and they will sell them individually ....maybe there is someone out by you that would provide the service
Oh poor briansbaker, families are so hard some times. But on a lighter note, thanks for the note cuz I started brainstorming maybe pjccat can make tribbles and put them on a cupcake tower LOL.........
oh my goodness... I just called my step-mother.. Her sister is the one I was talking about.. (sister is married to my dads brother) I think I just confused myself.. So lets keep it at she is my cousin!!! LOL
anywho, she said " I'm glad you called me, but I am now in charge of the cake.. When do you need the deposit?" I said " Yesturday!!". She said " oh no, I don't have the money right now, I was thinking about if I can pay you the day of the Event.". I was like " wtf".. I simply said " I cannot do that, I need the money today.. I think it would be better if you go to wal mart. They have pretty cakes and maybe you can make a payment plan with them. I just will have to walk away from this one". She said " I understand, I will have to find another route.. Thanks for calling me though"..
OMG just like that!!!!
I walked away and I feel better!!! Now I can make plans to go out of town for Easter weekend!!!!!!!
thanks for all the suggestions. I really like the tribbles idea. The cake is actually for a music concert my fiance is doing with the local concert band he directs. They are playing the music from the tribbles episode....could work.
Hi. My husband and I are trekkies. I looked every where to find a Star Trek cake for his birthday. Finally the night before his birthday, I was looking around our house for ideas. (He has a HUGE collection of Star Trek stuff) If you have ever watched the shows, (at least The Next Generation and Voyager and the movie First Contact), you would probably know what a Borg ship is; if not, any true Trekkie would. He had a model of a Borg ship that I used to make a copy after. I have posted that cake on here. He loved it so much that he would not let anyone cut it. As of today, the cake is still in our freezer! LOL! I wanted to make the Enterprise also, but I am still looking for an idea on how to do it. I might just try it the next day off I have. Hopefully this could help anyone looking for Star Trek ideas.
wow that's a great cake, you must have worked long hours on this one!!!!
have a nice day
Wow, I dont have any ideas for you, but I can't wait to see the cake!!!
I have no ideas either...but TODAY i got an order for the original star trek ship...I have no clue what it looks like! I am soooo not a Trekkie...but did think Captain Kirk was cute...then not now....lol. I would love to see what these wonderful ladies come up with for you, so I can use it too!

Scores of Americans found themselves suddenly stranded in Mexico last night when the famous "hole in the fence" at the border was closed yesterday afternoon without warning. … Protest was made to customs and immigration officials on duty, but the officers said they could do nothing about it.
San Diego Union
Dec. 20, 1930
It had been there for years: a narrow hole clipped from the barbed wire fence separating San Ysidro and Tijuana. Since the late 1920s, thousands of American tourists returning from Mexico had squeezed through the opening at night, bypassing the big iron gates at the international border, which closed promptly at 6 p.m. daily.
The fence had been built by the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry. It was not there to put the brakes on immigration; the U.S. government was unconcerned about illegal immigrants. The wire fence was there to stop cattle. Mexican steer often wandered across the border, sometimes carrying ticks, which infected American cattle.
Most visitors to Tijuana paid little attention to the fence as they walked or drove across the border each day through Gate 1. San Diego motor coach operator Fred Sutherland did a booming business transporting people from downtown San Diego. Others came on trains from the San Diego & Arizona Railway, which ran several times a day for round-trip fares of $1.
Prohibition had turned Tijuana — a town of fewer than 9,000 people at the time — into a mecca for Americans eager to visit the cantinas on Avenida Revolución. Others were attracted to the Caliente Race Track or the casino gambling at Agua Caliente, "the most elaborate pleasure resort in North America," according to Time magazine.
But Tijuana was strictly a daytime adventure. San Diego area churches, PTA groups, women's organizations and many politicians wanted an early-evening closure to protect public morals from the "injurious effects of wide-open towns." After Gate 1 closed at 6, no one was allowed to enter the United States.
Officially, that is.
Only a few paces east of the gate, a hole in the fence provided easy passage back home. Federal officials occasionally glanced at the hole and sometimes questioned the late-night entrants about their nationality or checked them for suspicious bulges in their clothing. For the most part, however, public use of the hole was a matter of course.
But on Friday night, Dec. 19, 1930, scores of Americans were surprised to find the familiar gap in the cattle fence sealed up tight. A few scaled the barrier and were grabbed for questioning by customs officials. Others retreated to Tijuana to look for hotel rooms. And some spent the night in the open, waiting for the Gate 1 to reopen at 6 a.m. The San Diego Union reported that many of the stranded were frantic women "thinly clad and unprepared for the cool night weather."
The next day, Dr. Jan Madsen, head of the local office of the Bureau of Animal Industry, revealed that the fence had been repaired at his direction to keep out stray Mexican livestock. "It is a government fence and it is my business to see that it is kept in repair at all places at all times."
Stranded Americans were not Madsen's concern.
By Saturday night, several new holes had appeared in the fence. Enterprising Mexican boys armed with flashlights earned tips by showing Americans where to enter their native country. "Among those making use of the newly-discovered openings," reported the Union, "were several fashionably dressed men and women who were said to have passed the evening at Agua Caliente. In trying to squeeze through the small openings in the fence some of the plump women and fat men became entangled in the barbed wire, but quickly were extricated by friends or their guides."
In March, agriculture officials installed a turnstile in the original hole, seven feet east of the main auto gate. Made of pipes painted yellow, it turned in only one direction — north, could not be locked and was meant to be used 24 hours a day. The new system was immediately tested by "scores of pleased United States residents who formerly wiggled carefully through the 'hole' in the barb-wire fence."
Others protested. Republican Rep. Philip Swing from the Imperial Valley howled that the turnstile "virtually nullified the 6 p.m. closing time," which he believed had been rightly established to control Americans "being attracted to Tijuana gambling dens at night."
The turnstile lasted three weeks. "Mourners who had been in the habit of 'making the hole at one' (a.m.)" watched as the turnstile "was amputated at its base and new strands of wire were stretched across the gap, thereby closing the famous hole in the fence."
In the next several months, while the Bureau of Animal Industry fought a losing battle against new holes in its fence, San Diegans began to agitate for a liberalized closing time at the border. Collector of Customs William Ellison pointed out that 1,423,751 people had crossed into Tijuana in the first three months of 1931. Clearly, the early closure was not adequate for the busiest port of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Extended hours finally arrived the following summer when border officials received orders from Washington to keep the gate open until midnight. On Saturday night, July 9, 1932, officials counted approximately 4,000 cars crossing the line to Mexico after 6 p.m. Tijuana resorts were packed as Americans had the right to cross the international border after dark, untroubled by the late-night prospect of the infamous hole in the fence.

Disease stalks Mozambique
Rescue workers in Mozambique have been rushing emergency supplies to tens of thousands of flood victims, as forecasters predict more heavy rain.
Foreign troops and aid workers are fighting a race against time as the threat of hunger and disease grows after the country's worst flood on record.
In some parts of the country, the bodies of victims are lying unburied and people have only dirty water to drink.
Medical workers have noted an increase in cholera cases and skin infections. They believe their help could be needed for months to come.
Its representative in Mozambique, Carlos Tiny told the BBC children and pregnant women were particularly vulnerable.
Aid effort on the move
A total of 50 helicopters, 12 aircraft and 100 boats have been criss-crossing the country delivering food, clean water and medicines to refugee camps and communities isolated by seas of mud.
Aid workers now say problems co-ordinating the relief effort have been eased by assigning the many countries providing aid to different parts of Mozambique.
The UN World Food Programme says 100 tonnes of food a day are needed to feed an estimated 250,000 people crowded into 64 makeshift camps, mostly in southern and central Mozambique.
Air drops
As waters in the swollen Limpopo and Save rivers receded on Sunday, relief efforts shifted from plucking survivors from danger to dispensing aid to hundreds of thousands of desperate people, many of whom could be reached only by air.
"Some of the children here had not had anything to eat for two or three days until these supplies arrived. It's very serious. We need food most of all," said schoolteacher Alberto Marcoa as helicopters delivered bags of rice and maize meal.
Relief supplies also reached up to 5,000 people in the coastal town of Nova Mambone, said Roy Trivedy, of the British charity Save the Children.
But an estimated 15,000 people in the Save River valley were still in urgent need of aid, and French, German and UN planes have been delivering relief supplies to the region.
Meanwhile, foreign donors have promised $78m to help rebuild Mozambique's shattered infrastructure, UN special envoy Ross Mountain told reporters on Monday.
President Joaquim Chissano had appealed for a minimum of $250m for reconstruction and for Mozambique's foreign debt to be written off.
More rain forecast
Although flood waters are subsiding in some parts of Mozambique, weather forecasters are predicting renewed heavy rain in the worst-hit areas of the country.
Mr Mountain said that many survivors were ignoring the pleas of aid workers and government officials, and returning to flood-battered areas, raising the possibility that they might have to be rescued again if the heavy rains resume.
The death toll - currently at 400 - is expected to soar into the thousands as water levels subside to reveal the bodies of those who drowned, and as cases of disease increase.
Fears are also growing that the storm-hit Indian Ocean island of Madagascar could suffer a similar fate to Mozambique.
Floods caused by two cyclones have forced 600,000 people from their homes, and left at least 50 dead, UN officials said.
Sergio Soro, Madagascar representative for the UN children's fund Unicef, said Madagascar "could become the next Mozambique".
The government only completed its initial assessment of the crisis on Monday and is expected to make an appeal for international assistance after presenting a report to parliament.
Meanwhile, 500,000 people have also been affected by the flooding in Zimbabwe, a UN humanitarian affairs spokesman said, adding that 25,000 of them were in an urgent situation.

Shahar Peer Loses to Russia's Maria Sharapova, Marking End to Israel's Disappointing Day at the Olympics
Tennis player joins five fellow Israeli athletes who ended their Olympic bid on day two of London 2012.
Tennis player Shahar Peer suffered a crippling defeat against Russia's Maria Sharapova on Sunday afternoon, bringing an end to an already disappointing day two for the Israeli team in London.
After five Israeli athletes already ended their Olympic bids that day, Peer lost to Sharapova 6-2, 6-0 on the center court, in a 65-minute match.
Earlier on Sunday, judoka Golan Pollack was defeated 1-0 by David Larose of France in the 66 kilogram category, ending his Olympic bid in the Round of 64.
Following Pollack's loss, fellow Israeli judoka Arik Zeevi Tweeted on his teammate's loss: "The second day of the judo tournament started half an hour ago with Golan Pollack's fight. He, I'm sorry to say, lost to the Frenchman and was eliminated from the tournament. It's a little hard to digest the fact that you can start a competition at 9:30 and finish it at 9:35, and that's all. The Olympics are over for Golan. Bummer. Let's hope my day of competition will be longer."
A couple of hours later, swimmer Yakov Toumarkin swam his 100-meter backstroke heat in 54.91 seconds, finishing sixth in his heat and failing to make the Top 16 for the semifinals.
Over on the badminton court, Misha Zilberman lost his second Group I match 21-9, 21-15, this time to Singapore's Derek Wong, and was eliminated from the competition.
Further adding to Israel's disappointment, swimmer Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or finished his 200-meter freestyle heat in 1:48.60 minutes. He finished 21st in the heats and will not make the semifinals.
Women's artistic gymnast Valeriia Maksiuta had a very painful and disappointing outing. After falling once from the vault, for which she averaged 13.3 for her two attempts, and the uneven bars (9.433), she received low scores in the beam (10.533) and the floor (12.933). She is dead last (31st) in the overall individual rankings after the first preliminary round.

Knowledge, understanding and the dynamics of medical innovation
This paper investigates the processes by which scientific knowledge is created and legitimized. It focuses on scientific developments in a branch of medicine and explores the pathways through which the growth of knowledge enables advances in medical science and in clinical practice. This work draws conceptually on evolutionary approaches to technological change. The empirical part presents a longitudinal analysis of a database of scientific publications in the field of ophthalmology over a period of 50 years. Such an exercise allows us to identify pathways of shared understanding on a disease area, and to map out distinctive trajectories followed by the ophthalmology research community. The paper also contributes to general understanding of the innovation process by supporting the notion that knowledge coordination is a distributed process that cuts across and connects complementary areas of expertise.
