'We won't tolerate defences that sabotage our beautiful seafront'
The fate of Clontarf's waterfront promenade remains in the balance.
There are strong feelings among locals as a working group seeks an anti-flooding barrier solution by the end of the year that does not block the priceless sea views.
The promenade extends northwards from Alfie Byrne Road all the way to The Wooden Bridge onto Bull Island.
Locals still feel tremendous relief that they succeeded in stopping the city council's "disasterous" plan to build an anti-flood barrier up to 10 feet tall in 2011 which would have wiped out sea views.
"Since then, a working group has been trying to get an acceptable plan for anti-flood defences," said David Doran, whose dry- cleaning premises was damaged by floodwaters in the past.
The working group consists of city council engineers and executives and members of Clontarf Business Association and the local residents' association.
Mr Doran said he was confident a plan can be found to install anti-flood protection without destroying the existing promenade. Keeping the height of any anti-flood barrier down to an acceptable level was crucial, he said.
David Smyth (30), owner of the aptly named Ebb and Flow Cafe, said he could not tolerate a high barrier destroying the sea view.
"The big sandbags in place on the seafront are very unsightly. A small wall would be far preferable," he said.
"The view of the water is gorgeous and must not be sabotaged by a big wall," said Elizabeth Farren (41), manager of the Casa Pasta restaurant.
"We put up with the sandbags but a big wall would not be acceptable," she said.
Nearby, Massimo Cicchini (40), owner of the La Costa fish and chip shop, said he had been flooded twice in 14 years and cannot get flood insurance.
A solution could result in him getting flood insurance at last, he said.

Tuesday, January 1, 2013, Devotion
And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Revelation 21:5
When so often we struggle with the same old, same old, it is challenging to trust the Lord that he is making all things new. Our experience sometimes leads us to suspect the contrary—wars, violence, disease always getting the better of us; politicians who promise us a better society but proving no different than the rest; clergy who betray their sacred trust. But Christ—the one who sits on the throne—promises that he is making something new–an eternal relationship with the God of creation in which sin, death and devil are no more, a reality of which we partake of now even as we await its fulfillment at the Last Day.
Lord Jesus, I thank you that you make all things new, even when it seems like things are just the same-old, same-old. Help my unbelief and give me the eyes of faith that I might see you at work in the midst of all the changes and chances of this life.
Gracious Lord, as we stand at the threshold of this new year, open our eyes to see your hand at work in all we do and feel your presence with us even in the most difficult of times. Gives us hope for the future, for the future is Christ. Amen.

In addition to the lime green Just Cavalli (see here ) that we spotted on her earlier, Kareena was spotted in yet another Just Cavalli dress on the sets of 'Kambakkht Ishq'.
Guess we'll have to wait for the movie to see what the neckline of her version is like. ;)

NEA part of $17.3 million round for Euclid
Shopping analytics startup Euclid has raised $17.3 million in a series B venture round led by Benchmark Capital, with New Enterprise Associates, Harrison Metal and Novel TMT Ventures also participating.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company had previously picked up $5.8 million in capital by the same investors in 2011.
Euclid assists brick-and-mortar retailers by tracking their customers' habits, with the help of sensors in stores. The shoppers' smartphones connect to a store's Wi-Fi to identity how much repeat business the store gets without invading the customer's privacy, according to CEO Will Smith.
Some of the analytics' features include real-world metrics like Capture Rate, Engagement Rate, and Visit Frequency, which helped Euclid Elementswin an Ideas & Innovation award in February of last year.
Smith cofounded the company with Ken Leung, Steve Wilhelm and Scott Crosby. Crosby, who is Euclid COO, was the co-founder of Urchin, which specialized in analyzing website traffic and was acquired by Google in April 2005 to become the foundation of Google Analytics.

text: Hey folks! So I used Clockwork ROM Manager to flash on Bugless Beast 0.4, a new baseband and a new kernel (from BB). Things have been great with the my Droid for well over two months! Now, several times a day ... when I turn the screen on, the digitizer doesn't want to detect that my finger is even on the screen (to slide the unlock). Or, it does that, then it starts to freak out and not allow me to enter my 4 digit pin code to unlock it. I touch the 1, it puts 4 1's in a row on the screen, I tap the 3 and it doesn't even register, but a minute or two later it registers then freaks out and puts a dozen of them on the screen. So I use the slide out keyboard to unlock the phone. Then, my home screen doesn't want to respond at all, and when it does, same freak out. The screen starts moving from left to right, icons get clicked that I didn't even touch, the pull down menu gets pulled down, etc. If I reboot, this sometimes solves the problem, but most often the problem still persists for another few minutes. This all started happening after I tried to use Clockwork ROM Manager to make a backup for me ... because I was dumb enough to get everything installed and working and didn't make a backup then, when I should have! So I went into Clockwork, hit "Backup Current ROM", gave it a name, hit OK ... and then it reboots. Get's to the Motorola "M" screen and sits there for 60 seconds, then reboots again to the Motorola "M" screen, then continues to full boot. I launch Clockwork ROM Manager again to see if my backup is in the list and I am immediately greeted with the error "Recovery Failure", with 3 options to choose from ... Recovery mode is "broken" ... ROM Manager doesn't reboot" ... "Other". It wants me to tell it what went wrong. Needless to say, when I choose "Manage and Restore Backups", my backup isn't there. So to take you all the way down the rabit hole ... I figured I would flash a new Kernel, just to see if that would help stability. It won't let me. I choose a different Kernel and tell it to install. The phone reboots and a minute or two later I am back to my home screen. I open Clockwork ROM Manager again and get the same error as above. I still have root privileges. I can open terminal and type SU and it works just fine. I have also run Fix Permission and watched all the CHMOD commands run by back when I first flashed it. What am I doing wrong here? I'm ready to try out a new Kernal, one of the ULV ones would be nice. But mainly, I want my screen to stop freaking out several times a day. I have even gone through and removed almost all of my apps, just to see if one of them running in the background was causing this problem. Stats from the "About Phone" page ... Android Version: 2.2 Baseband version: C_01.43.01P Kernel version: 188.8.131.52-g103d848 android-build@apa26 #1 Build number: Bugless Beast V0.4 Stats from SetCPU ...

Home › Products › Lineman Grade Tools › EHV / Transmission › Tramsmission Insulator Cradle
Photo above shows the insulator cradle being raised or lowered with the use of wire tongs.
Tested per OSHA & ASTM F711
This Chance Insulator Cradle is used to make insulator changes by supporting the string while damaged insulators are replaced, or to pivot the string so that it may be removed and lowered to the ground. On deadends or running corners these cradles are used in conjunction with strain carriers; and in straight suspensions they are used with various types of link sticks or adjustable strain pole assemblies.
The Transmission cradle is designed to be used on 69 kV to 115 kV deadend or suspension strings supported by a pair of wire tongs or link sticks.
Insulator Cradles are made with three 1-1/2" dia. Epoxiglas® poles. Light in weight, they are easy to handle and adaptable to many applications.
Lugs located at the forward end of the cradle are used to support the insulator string with a pair of wire tongs or link sticks. The back end of the cradle is supported by ropes tied at the structure. Hinged in this manner the insulators may be lowered or raised to the best position for changing damaged insulators.
In some cases, the cradle is supported in eyes located on the forward yoke of Two-Pole Strain Carriers. This is done when raising or lowering of the insulator string is unnecessary.

.- Cardinal Sergio Sebastiani, president of the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See, has announced that while several segments within the Vatican lost money in 2005, the Holy See consolidated financial statements for last year closed with a surplus of 9.7 million euro. This, he said, "represents the most significant value of the last eight years."
The financials of the Holy See have been slowly improving over the last four years. In 2004 the budget closed with a surplus of 3.08 million euro, which was the first surplus in three years. In 2003 the Holy See was in the red by 9.6 million euro.
The budget surplus comes as the Holy See continues to expand its spiritual support for the world's 1.1 billion Catholics. The Vatican diplomatic service, in particular, has continued to expand its presence throughout the developing world.
In terms of the institutional activity of the Holy See (Secretariat of State, congregations, councils, tribunals, the Synod of Bishops and various other offices), the president indicated that the sector closed the year with a deficit of 36.9 million euro, an increase with respect to 2004, which had closed with a deficit of 23.2 million euro.
Sebastiani said that the costs associated with the funeral of Pope John Paul II and the election of Pope Benedict XVI contained within the portion of the report concerning "other income and expenses," closed with a negative result of seven million euro. Nonetheless, the cost of the transition in pontificates was expected to have a greater effect than it did on the financials in general.
A large reason for the surplus, Sebastiani said, was the improvement of the situation of the financial markets which occurred in the course of 2005. A net positive fluctuation of 21.7 million euro was registered in 2005 while a net loss of roughly 11 million euro occurred in 2004 due to fluctuations in the rates of exchange." For its part, the real estate sector closed with a surplus of 22.2 million euro, slightly down on last year's closing figure of 24.9 million euro.
The activity of the media institutions connected with the Holy See (Vatican Radio, the Vatican Printing Office, L'Osservatore Romano newspaper, the Vatican Publishing House and the Vatican Television Center), closed with a deficit of 11.8 million euro, "substantially due to the negative results of Vatican Radio (about 23.5 million euro) and of L'Osservatore Romano (4.6 million euro)," said Cardinal Sebastiani. Nonetheless, "the Vatican Printing Office closed its financial statement with a surplus of 653,000 euro, and the Vatican Television Center closed with a profit of 650,000 euro. ... The Vatican Publishing House also closed its 2005 financial statement with a surplus of 934,000 euro and with a rise of 3.8 million euro in the volume of the activity." In this context, the cardinal recalled how the Vatican Publishing House has been entrusted with the exercise and the guardianship of the copyright of "all the documents by means of which the Supreme Pontiff exercises his teaching."
The cardinal also said that offers from the faithful to Peter's Pence, the fund which goes directly to the Holy Father's works of evangelical solidarity, came to 46,741,000 euro in the year 2005, an increase of 14.95 percent with respect to 2004.
Holy See reports best financial news in eight years

Manufactured by Whirlpool
Sold Individually. This knob accepts a D-shaped shaft.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Amana, Caloric.
This part works with the following products: Range.
Part Number WP4179282 replaces: 0086994, 07507301, 4157082, 4157192, 4179282, 4315148, Y07507301.
The knobs were a perfect replacement and I just slid them onto the posts on which the old ones were on. Although my range is a Glenwood I think that the parts are now made my Whirlpool (not exactly sure) but they are a perfect match. My order came so quickly and I am thrilled with the transaction. I didn't think I would ever find the replacement knobs and thought I might have to get a new range as you could not read the oven temperatures at all on the old knobs.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
A part of the Left Front Burner of our range corroded and a hole opened up. This time, it was only one(1) of the four(4) burners I replaced but will plan to replace another one, the one in the back, in a year or so. Replacing the knobs was just for cosmetic reasons.
I have a gas oven range and 2 of the knobs were stripped, making it difficult to control the heat. My appliance is at least 20 years old. I thought I'd have to replace the whole thing. I found your website, did a search, and found exactly what I needed. The knobs fit perfectly. Although not an exact match to the originals, they work, and that's all I care about. Easy and inexpensive fix.

Paddy Lowe - Hamilton
Last quote by Paddy Lowe
Paddy Lowe quotes
Aug 08 2017
There are many drivers who we consider greats that didn't win that many races or championships, and that's because of the way they behaved. Stirling Moss is an example of that. I think that's the right line in the end if you're trying to make the right judgement about these things.feedback
Aug 08 2017
There's never a good answer to that one. In any team, you want to keep it clear to both drivers that they have the opportunity to win the championship. That keeps them motivated in their own right to win races, which is what you need for the team result.feedback
Aug 08 2017
I think in the end it's about how you do it, not what you do. I think drivers get remembered for the way they perform as sportsmen and not necessarily their absolute results. I think that's a good bit of thinking for any race driver or any sportsman at all actually. And we can pick out examples in this sport.feedback
Jul 16 2017
There are many, many engineers within the sport who began their careers at Williams and learned that spirit of racing from Frank and Patrick, including myself, Ross Brawn and Adrian Newey. Frank is obsessed with racing and all that it takes to win. That's why we are still here after 40 years.feedback
Jul 14 2017
We're worried about reflections but there may be solutions to that. We will be testing it on various cars over the coming months.feedback
Jul 14 2017
It's agreed to put it on the car for next year. It is a really accelerated programme as the decision was taken a couple of months ago. We're very interested to hear the feedback from Sebastian, especially on visibility. I thought it looked pretty good.feedback
We were immediately slow starting [Friday]. That was clear. We were doing different bits of testing across the garage in the normal way but it was obvious the pace wasn't in the normal ranking.feedback
Jul 04 2017
Lance has got incredible talent and we've seen glimpses of that. Classically rookies break a lot of bits but he is not doing that and he is going quickly now he is in the groove to do it. He has got great race craft which we saw in Canada and here in Baku. Those are all the elements which make a great driver.feedback
Jul 04 2017
I won't rush out and make predictions in any absolute sense but we are seeing the right stuff coming together which is very encouraging for the future.feedback
Jun 30 2017
I am also delighted to welcome Dave to the Williams team. Dave brings an exceptional level of Formula One racing knowledge and experience. Since joining, I have seen first-hand the talented individuals we have in the race team at Williams. I'm sure Dave will fit in well and be able to provide the operational and sporting leadership necessary to not only maintain our current high standards, but to build even further on all aspects of our race team performance in the future.feedback
Jun 30 2017
Firstly, I must thank Steve for his hard work and dedication since joining Williams in 2014. He has done a brilliant job in restructuring the race team and particularly in driving the impressive pitstop performances we have shown in the last eighteen months. From a personal perspective it has been a great pleasure to work together since I started here in March. We all wish him the very best for the future.feedback
Jun 25 2017
They made some changes, they did some work with him. We went to Austin last week for driving the 2014 car so did a few experiments there with set-up, looking at the differences between his set-up and Felipe's set-up. Some of that has been brought forward here and I think that's put him in a much better place.feedback
Jun 14 2017
I think character wise they were quite different. People criticise [Lewis] for a number of things but actually he is within it all a real gentleman and a very fair racer. Hard but fair.feedback
Jun 14 2017
They didn't have it on the charts. They probably thought Ferrari had them after P3, and then you see Lewis will go out there and really dig deep. These drivers cannot do it every Saturday but, every now and again, they go out there when something really extraordinary is required and produce a lap where you go, where on earth did that come from?' Lewis is certainly one to do that and Ayrton was certainly one to do that.feedback
Jun 14 2017
I was talking to Riccardo Patrese the other day about this and without mentioning any specific instances, bearing in mind you didn't get a penalty for blocking in qualifying in those days, you actually just had to go and see the bloke and intimidate him so he didn't do it again! That is how it was back then. Now you can rely on the police to give the guy a ticket! It is a very different world and Ayrton played it how he had to back then.feedback
Jun 14 2017
It sounds like I'm about to say Ayrton wasn't! But, with Ayrton, we have a tendency to get a bit rose tinted. Mostly I was playing against Ayrton, that is why I struggle a bit with perspective, but mostly I was at Williams in those days and Ayrton was the guy we were struggling to beat. We eventually did in 1992 but it seemed impossible in the years building up to that, and he was ruthless. He had some various tactics to intimidate his opposition, but that was more the name of the game back then.feedback
Jun 14 2017
Stating the obvious, they both sit within the handful of greats we have in the sport. Yeah, undoubtedly. Those great drivers are able to pull out an extraordinary lap and I think you kind of saw that with Lewis [in qualifying]... probably on Mercedes estimations and simulations, that time wasn't in the car.feedback
Jun 12 2017
I know it was only ninth, but it seriously felt like a race win, just because we all know it's been a very, very difficult introduction to the sport for him. We've all felt for him and especially in the team willing him to be better and to make the progress. I think he went out there today and just showed that he can drive.feedback
Jun 12 2017
So to do that in his home race... I understand there was extra crowd here because we had a Canadian driver, so it's good to give them that reward. But yeah the benefits are immeasurable. He's going to have himself so much more confidence that he now knows what it takes. You know they say in this sport that when you've won your first race all the rest of them are so much easier? I'm sure it's the same with points and I hope we'll see that he's out of the starting blocks and we'll see it come into play now.feedback
Jun 12 2017
As always with these cars there's a lot of things that are on the edge, he had some issues with keeping brake temperatures in control, keeping some engine temperatures in control, the left front had signs of not lasting the race and he managed that at a certain point, so he did everything that he needed to do. I think we've seen the real Lance there today, now hopefully we can see him more regularly.feedback
Jun 12 2017
He said afterwards about that there were those few times and he just thought 'it's a long race, I'll get him next time' rather than taking that risk and it ending in tears. So that's really mature, sensible driving. That was the best position he was going to get from 17th and he did with the right sort of control.feedback
Jun 12 2017
The talent was all there, the race-craft was fantastic. Those points didn't fall in his lap, he went and fought for them. I don't know if we got an overall count of the number of overtakes ... but it was a lot. Almost ten or something, including a double world champion who he dueled with a the end. And actually handled some pretty tricky situations with traffic into Turn 1 and lots of stuff that could have easily been mishandled.feedback

A huge congratulations to Lance. He's the first Canadian in Formula One since Jacques Villeneuve, and now he's scored his first points at his home race. It's a great story. Given the difficult start Lance has had to his Formula One career, this feels like a race win to us. It was an incredible drive. He showed some fantastic race-craft, great overtaking and he really earned those points today. From 17th on the grid up to ninth, including a battle with a double world champion, which he took in his stride. I think today's result will boost his confidence going forward and will give him some real momentum. On the other side of the garage, Felipe had an unfortunate race. He actually had a good start, but then lost a few places as a result of the jostling that normally takes place at Turns 1 and 2 at this race. He was then collected by Carlos, through no fault of his own. With the pace of the car this weekend it's very unfortunate. We could have scored some very good points. We're now looking ahead to Azerbaijan. The car should be reasonably strong there so we'll give it another go.feedback

One of the very difficult things for Lance is the enormous pressure placed on him. He's a driver with a lot of expectation around him across the paddock, because there's a spotlight on how he got here and 'does he really deserve the drive?feedback

Why do people drive racing cars? It's because they love driving quick cars and if you are not here enjoying it then it's actually not helping. But it's easier said than done with all the pressure I mentioned.feedback

One of the very difficult things for Lance is the enormous pressure placed upon him. He's a driver with a lot of expectation around him from, not just people close to him, but across the board I think. There is a spotlight on him, on how he got here and does he really deserve the drive.feedback
May 17 2017
Racing drivers are, by their nature, super competitive so they are the best and worst at beating themselves up if they are not performing as they should. So that cascades and creates its own pressure on him, even if it's not already got enough from outside. There are no easy answers to about how you undo that pressure. There's a bit of coaching involved and I appreciate the challenging position he's in, so I'm trying to help him through that. One thing that is important is to actually be able to enjoy it, to be honest.feedback
It became a very disappointing day in the end today. During FP3 this morning we were able to complete our practice programme as planned to find suitable qualifying and race settings. Unfortunately this afternoon in qualifying we had to end Fernando's Q2 session prematurely after detecting an MGU-H issue. We are still investigating to find out exactly what the issue is and whether or not it's related to Stoffel's issues yesterday.feedback
It also puts him in a good position to start the race, with a free tyre choice and new sets available. Equally for Felipe we have some good opportunities for the race and we look forward to seeing what we can do tomorrow. I also want to say a massive congratulations to Valtteri, who started his Formula One journey at Williams back in 2010, and who did a great job achieving his first pole position today.feedback
Overall I'm quite pleased. We had a trouble free session and Felipe did a good lap at the end for P8. I think Lance should be very happy with his qualifying because it's a difficult circuit with varying conditions between sessions and it's quite tricky on tyres, so I think he's done a really good job in only his third Formula One qualifying session.feedback
It's a great shame for the fans here today. We've got some fantastic fans in China, who are so enthusiastic for the sport and its personalities and they were denied some excitement on the track. I think we definitely have to look at it. There is an important history behind this, going back to the 1980s.feedback

I think it was the accident with [Elio] de Angelis in testing [1986], where there was a suspicion that if there had been a helicopter he would have been in better shape. Since then they've put this rule in place and of course it's become a lot more sophisticated as well. I think we should understand the importance behind it and respect that first and foremost.feedback
Apr 05 2017
It is an important race for us understand where we are in the championship to address the challenges for the season with our continued aim to improve and make progress.feedback
Apr 05 2017
The Shanghai International Circuit is the first track this season which will test the all-round performance of the car and so we will arguably see a truer measure of the relative performance of the cars within the new regulations. It is a great track with some demanding high-speed corners and a long back straight which is traditionally good for overtaking, but requires good set-up to ensure speed can be carried onto the straight.feedback
Mar 25 2017
I'm predicting that with these far higher loads that we have, with higher cornering speeds, driver endurance is much more demanding, so we may see more mistakes in races, drivers more on their human limits. That could be another interesting factor. With faster laps times and more grip, driver fatigue may emerge as more of a factor than it has in recent years.feedback
Mar 23 2017
It's a great opportunity, I think that's the simplest way to put it. We achieved incredible things at Mercedes in three years and, of course, they may continue to do so. I'm very proud of the part I played in that set of championships, but for me personally a great opportunity came up at Williams and I'm very excited about it.feedback
Mar 23 2017
It's been discussed many times the disparity of funding between teams in the pitlane so clearly it's more difficult to compete at the front when you have less money, nobody will deny that. The challenge here is to make the most efficient use we can with the resources we have. In parallel you're constantly trying to gain access to more resources that's what drives success in this sport. Do a good job, generate more income so you can do an even better job. If we want to move forward we have to move forward technically and then financially when you make all of those factors contribute together.feedback
Jan 10 2017
I have had a fantastically successful and enjoyable three and a half years at Mercedes working with an incredible team of people. I am now looking forward to a new challenge and wish everyone well at Mercedes.feedback

On Lewis's car we are running now the engine we first ran in Spa. From running it yesterday we found that there is a small fault in the fuel system, it is not a serious problem but for precautionary reasons we felt we should put a better one in there. The people working on the engine itself were in until 1 a.m. and then another group of people were in at four a.m. to do some more work and then the main group were in at six.feedback

Welcome to another MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME Holiday Craft Extravaganza! Today, we're learning HOW TO MAKE A GLITTER SNOWFLAKE WREATH!
1. Start by tracing two circles on heavy cardboard or foam core. The outside circle measures 8″, and the inside is 4 1/2″. .
2. After cutting out the ring, give it a light coat of spray paint in a similar (or contrasting – this is your party) color to your snowflakes. SO. MANY. COLOR. CHOICES.
3. Once the ring is dry, grab a low temp glue gun and your snowflakes!
4. I used approximately thirty 3 1/2″plastic glitter snowflakes. Attach the first level, eyeball it, and guesstimate. Or do The Maths. (I don't do The Maths.)
5. Glue those snowflakes on like a champ. Go to town, just like Santa, baby.
6. You can add dimension by placing a layer on the back. This is also a good time to attach a hanger. I used ice blue gift wrap ribbon.
And, now the finished product, hanging over the toilet in the guest bathroom! I know I said the decorations were for my office, but very room deserves a bit of holiday jewelry, don'tcha think?
I'd love to see pictures if you make a snowflake wreath! I'll post them here!

Veeder: Living with an undomesticated yard
We built our house in the middle of a cow pasture. It was unavoidable really. I mean, out here everywhere is either in the middle of a cow pasture or the middle of an alfalfa field.
Until we build a fence.
When we build a fence we can call it yard.
But for now, if you come over for a visit, you might have to watch where you step, if you know what I mean.
It's roundup season and time to bring the cows home. And because home for the cows is also home for us, we've had company the past few weeks.
Company that serenades us from outside the kitchen window with low bellowing in the morning as the sun comes up, saunters by in a neat line for afternoon drinks in the stock dam, takes evening naps under the shade of the deck and all-out ignores the pug's best guard dog impression.
But I don't mind at all, especially since I never got around to planting that garden or attempting a lawn.
In fact when I'm home, I like to keep the windows wide open and the music off so I can hear them doing what cows do -- munching, mooing, drinking and kicking little puffs of dust up off their heels on their way back and forth on the trail they've cut.
A trail that was here long before a house popped up.
And while it's typical for me to step outside to find a calf in a stand-off with my should-be house dog, to ask my husband to help me shovel the cow poop out of the driveway before company arrives or to wake up in the morning to find a wild turkey roosting on the roof of the house next to the satellite dish, it's occurred to me lately that perhaps these sorts of things could be considered a little, uh, undomesticated.
Maybe I should have pushed a little harder to get that fence done this summer so we could focus on normal things like raking the lawn and throwing a nice garden party.
But I have yet to become the woman who throws a nice garden party.
I am the woman who shows up to the garden party with a cocklebur stuck in her hair.
It's not that I'm ashamed of that cocklebur. It's just that lately I've been wondering how to best fit in all that I want to be with all that I need to be out here at the ranch.
Because I'm a woman who would appreciate a well-manicured garden with roses untouched by cow molars, but I'm also a woman who wants to know what's going on with those rose-munching cows, a woman who saddles up a horse to go along and check.
Because there's nothing else I'd rather do than sit on a horse and push cows through the trees, even when those cows are not even remotely heading in the right direction and my efforts in turning them around land me with a thorn buried a half an inch deep in my shin, or, you know, a cocklebur in my hair.
And when my husband, my thorn and I get home, I'm reminded that I'm a woman who likes to eat and it's a little annoying discovering that none of us has given a thought to dinner.
Or to the mud we tracked in on the floor last week.
Or the dishes piled in the sink.
Or the plant I can't seem to remember to water.
For some reason I just can't seem to keep it all working harmoniously together. For some reason I can't seem to put those dishes, the dinner or the darn fence on the top of my priority list while maintaining the relationship I think I need to have with the other critters who share this pasture with me.
For some reason I don't think I'll ever host a garden party.
At least until we build that darn fence.
But that's OK. You're still welcome for a visit.
Just watch your step.
Veeder is a musician and writer living with her husband on a ranch near Watford City. Readers can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Adventure Racing: The Basics
Have fun. Now this simple idea is twisted on interpretation by a few sick, masochistic individuals who's idea of fun involves traipsing through the woods (desert, ocean, jungle, bog, etc) by as many human powered methods as possible. Then, you turn it into a race so you can see how you fair against other similarly psychotic individuals. Next thing you know, you have an adventure race.
With this overall guiding light to show us the way the rest of adventure racing falls into place. For starters, there is no set course. Racers must navigate between point A and point B by the route that seems most appropriate to them. Having a set course would take some of the fun out of it. With out those "where the hell are we" moments, it wouldn't be an adventure race. These points in adventure racing terms are called Checkpoints, or more commonly CP's. The CP's are numbered, and it works just like connect the dots. You go from CP 1 to CP 2, and then to CP 3, and so on, and so on.
A race that simply involves a single discipline would only require checkpoints, but to be a true adventure race, you need to make it a multi-sport event. This requirement generates another adventure racing term, transition area (TA's). The TA's are the locations where your equipment will be to switch from kayaking to biking for example. TA's are also CP's. For instance, TA 1 may also be CP 4. The great thing about transition areas is that if your arms are tired from kayaking, you know that upcoming TA means you get to rest your arms (your legs may complain now, but at least your arms get a break).
Navigation is necessary throughout an adventure race to ensure that you are actually traveling from CP 2 to CP 3 rather than heading off to, let's say Canada, or some other far flung locale that gets you no closer to the finish. Navigation is accomplished with a map and compass. The only other aid that you can have is an altimeter (although that does little to help you on the kayaking legs. Sea level is sea level). With these three simple tools you pin point the location where you are currently, and decide the route that you need to travel to get to your next CP. GPS's are not allowed at any point, as they would severely detract from those "where the hell are we" moments that make adventure racing so much fun.
We hope this little intro into adventure racing is helpful, and answers most questions you may have. If there are any points you would like clarification on please email us, and we will reply with an answer that is both informative and entertaining. For specifics on navigation, food, water, paddling technique, running form, or bike maintenance there are numerous books available at your local bookstore that can aid in all of these areas and many more. Judging by the fact you are even considering doing an adventure race you may also want to spend some time in the self help section of the bookstore because there is definitely something wrong with you if you want to spend your weekend slogging around the San Juan Islands rather than at home watching football.
For gear that you will need for these races please check out our gear lists for each race.

Champion 3500-Watt RV Ready Portable Generator (EPA) (Not for sale in CA)
from Amazon.com
In Stock.
Average Customer Review:
With 5,500 watts of continuous power and 6,875 watts of peak power, the Generac GP5500 is capable of starting and running almost anything you're likely to need when the power goes out, including sump pumps, multiple appliances and household lighting. The user-friendly design includes conveniences like a fuel gauge, low-oil shutdown, and fuel shutoff, and reviews say it reliably starts with one or two pulls. It's covered by a two-year warranty.
With 3,500 running watts and 4,000 peak watts, the Champion 46596 can power essential items – such as a fridge, sump pump, and lights – at a fraction of the price of larger portable generators. Features include a fuel gauge, low-oil shutdown, four standard outlets, one twist-lock outlet, and a TT30R outlet for powering an RV. Owners describe it as easy to use and not too loud. Champion's three-year limited warranty is particularly impressive for a generator in this price range.Buy for $592.42
Owners say the Sportsman GEN7000LP portable generator can power nearly everything in the house. Instead of gasoline, it runs on propane, which can be stored indefinitely and produces less foul-smelling exhaust. Maintenance is also easier than with gas generators, since there's no gasoline to gum up the carburetor during storage. The generator produces 6,000 watts of continuous power and 7,000 watts of startup power, and users find it easy to start and run.
The 1,600-watt (continuous) Honda EU2000i can't power an entire house full of appliances, but its surge-free power is safe for sensitive electronics like computers and TVs. It's also small, easy to carry and quieter than a normal conversation, making it perfect for tailgating and camping. One of these generators can run a computer setup, fridge/freezer and a couple of lights, and you can connect two together for situations where more power is needed.Buy for $979.00
The Honda EU7000iS combines 5,500 watts of continuous power – enough to run a whole houseful of appliances – with an inverter that enables it to power the most delicate electronics safely. It's a top performer in professional tests and a huge hit with users, who say it's efficient, easy to use, and extremely quiet. Useful features include a fuel gauge, low-oil shutoff, and electric starter. It's pricey relative to other portable generators of the same output, but owners say it's worth it.
Portable generators provide electricity when you're off the grid – or when the grid goes offline. When a storm takes out the power grid all along your street, a portable generator can mean the difference between shivering in the dark or sitting in a toasty house with working lights and a running fridge. You can also use one to power your cabin or RV while camping or run your cooking and stereo equipment during a tailgate party. Some owners even use one to run their corded electric power tools on remote job sites.
Most portable generators use gas as a fuel. You can find more details about sizing one properly below, but a basic, portable generator should be able to provide enough power to cover your home electrical necessities -- such as a refrigerator, gas furnace fan, microwave, and some lights -- in an emergency.Propane Generators
Some portable generators run on liquid propane instead of gas. Propane is less readily available than gasoline, but it's easier to store. Also, propane generators require less regular maintenance than gas generators.Inverter Generators
One problem with standard generators is that they can produce occasional power surges, which could damage electronics. That's why some portable generators have built-in inverters, which convert direct current to alternating current. This allows them to deliver a consistent, surge-free supply of electricity. The power from an inverter generator is "clean" enough to power delicate, expensive electronics like your computer or flat-screen TV.
When it comes to generators, bigger isn't always better. A bigger generator can run more devices at once, but it also costs more and uses more fuel. Portable generators more or less fall into three size groups:
750 to 3,500 watts. These generators are small enough to carry onto a boat or to a campsite. At the top end, they can keep a few appliances running simultaneously during a power outage, including a refrigerator, several lights and a TV.
4,000 to 8,000 watts. Generators of this size provide emergency power for a 1,200- to 3,000-square-foot house. The exact size you need depends on how many appliances you think are essential to run simultaneously. For example, at 4,000 watts you could probably run a window air conditioner or the fan for a gas furnace (but not an entire electric furnace), at the same time as a refrigerator and other appliances. At 8,000 watts, you could add an electric water heater.
10,000 to 17,500 watts. These portable generators are large enough to provide essential power to larger homes, even for extended power outages. At the top end, you can even run an electric furnace, heat pump or central air conditioning.
Manufacturers list two wattage levels for each portable generator. Running or continuous wattage, sometimes called rated wattage, is how much power the generator continually produces. Peak wattage, also called maximum or starting wattage, is a measure of how much peak electricity your generator can provide to get large appliances and other power-hungry devices started while still running everything else that's plugged in. In this report, we cite the continuous wattage unless otherwise specified.
If you live in California, you'll need a generator that complies with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations. You don't have to purchase CARB-compliant generators if you live in other states, but they do produce lower emissions.
Unlike standby generators that are permanently wired to your house, portable generators don't switch on automatically. With portable generators, you must wheel or carry them out of storage, make sure they're fueled, and start them manually. All portable models have a recoil or pull-cord starter, just like on most lawn mowers. Some also have a push-button electronic starter that's powered by a small, internal battery. An electric ignition won't work if the battery goes dead, but you always have the pull cord as backup.
Portable generators typically have two or more electrical outlets, and the better ones will have different types for different uses. Most electronics and kitchen appliances plug into standard 120-volt outlets, the kind you'd see in any house. These are rated either 5-20R or 5-15R. Larger appliances, such as clothes dryers, kitchen ranges and big window air conditioner units, require a 240-volt outlet. These are sometimes called twist-lock outlets.
Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets, available on some high-end generators, offer an extra layer of protection against electrocution by continuously monitoring power flow through the outlet. In the event of a ground fault -- basically, you getting electrocuted -- they're designed to cut power to that outlet in a fraction of a second.
A few of the generators we evaluate can produce DC current in addition to their AC output. The most common household use for DC current is charging automobile or RV batteries.
The portable generators we evaluate range from a 44-pound model that's small enough to carry by hand to wheeled models that weigh over 250 pounds. While a portable generator's mechanical components come fully assembled, you typically must attach the wheels and handles yourself. For the largest generators this may require a floor jack, although some owners use levers or recruit strong friends to help them move the parts into position.
Portable generators typically come with one to three years of warranty coverage. However, owners warn that a warranty won't do you any good if the manufacturer never responds to your concerns, an issue that crops up in some user reviews. In addition, you may need to transport your generator to a designated service center for warranty service. If there isn't one nearby, or if you purchase a large generator, transporting it to and from the service center can pose a major logistical challenge.
ConsumerSearch editors evaluated dozens of expert and owner reviews for every type of portable generator sold. From there, we narrowed it down to the models with the top ratings for features, performance and ease of use. Price was a consideration as well, and we found one highly rated generator that costs less than $200. One of these generators will be sure to keep your power on as long as you need it.
Reviews point to the Generac GP5500 (Est. $650) as the best overall portable generator, with an ideal combination of mid-grade power, convenience and value. Its 5,500 watts of continuous power -- and 6,875 watts of start-up power -- provide sufficient backup electricity to get you through an emergency. It also includes such useful features as a fuel gauge, low-oil shutdown, and a fuel shutoff, which helps prevent leaks and keeps fuel from getting trapped in the lines. It comes with a set of wheels and a starter bottle of engine oil.
In expert tests, the GP5500 performs beautifully. It's named a "best buy" by ConsumerReports.org. Testers say it's easy to use and delivers strong, smooth, consistent power, just as well as -- or better than -- generators costing hundreds or even thousands more. At ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com, the GP5500 receives a recommendation from product expert Jared Grifo, who says it's "Very solidly built at an affordable cost."
Owner reviews are generally positive as well. Most owners say the GP5500 is reliable, usually starts with just a couple of pulls, and delivers enough power to get them tough power outages. The main complaint we saw about the Generac GP5500 is that it's loud – a finding backed up by professional test results. Complaints about durability are fairly rare, but those who did run into problems often say it's very difficult to get repairs under Generac's two-year warranty. Some had to wait weeks for repairs to be completed, and others complain that the cost of parts (which aren't covered after the first year) comes to hundreds of dollars.
Stepping up to a generator with a higher wattage output gives users the ability to run more appliances and/or larger appliances, such as an air conditioner. The downside is that larger generators tend to be both heavier and noisier. Still, you might be able to get away with using one of them if there's plenty of room between houses, especially if you share some of your power with your neighbor.
The Westinghouse WH7500E (Est. $810) produces 7,500 continuous watts and 9,000 watts of starting power. Pluses compared to the Generac include a one-touch electric start, a Pulse-Flo muffler for quieter operation, and a longer three-year warranty. Just like the GP5500, the Westinghouse has a fuel gauge, fuel shutoff, and low-oil shutoff. It also has the same five outlets, including a twist-lock style to run 220-volt appliances like air conditioners and clothes dryers. However, unlike the Generac, it lacks outlet covers for extra protection during storms. It also costs nearly $200 more.
The Westinghouse WH7500E performs excellently in an expert test, where it's judged a bit quieter than the less powerful Generac GP5500. User feedback is also good. Owners say this generator is sturdy and delivers plenty of power without a lot of noise. It also runs a long time on a tank of gas. The main complaint we saw was about generators that were damaged during shipping. Reports on Westinghouse's customer service are mixed, with some owners praising the knowledgeable reps and others complaining that they got the brush-off.
The Generac GP7500E (Est. $1,000) is also worth noting, It gets very strong feedback from owners at HomeDepot.com, ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com and elsewhere. It has the same features and warranty as the smaller GP5500, plus a one-touch electric starter, and it delivers 7,500 watts of running power and 9,375 watts of startup power. Owners on sites we checked award this portable generator at least 4.5 stars out of 5 overall, and typically 95 percent or more recommend it. They say it's reliable and very easy to use, with ample power to run a whole house. However, like the smaller Generac, the GP7500E is loud, and getting warranty service can be a hassle.
If all you need a portable generator to do is run a few essential appliances during a power outage, there are light-duty models available for less than $300. These smaller generators provide up to 3,500 watts of continuous power – not enough to run a whole house, but enough to keep some lights and essential appliances going until the power comes back on. They're also suitable for camping.
Experts generally don't test generators this size, so we had to reply on user reviews to find the best picks. Overall, we found the strongest feedback for the Champion 46596 (Est. $280). With 3,500 continuous watts and 4,000 watts of starting power, it's big enough to run essential items – such as a refrigerator, a sump pump, a TV, a fan, and some lights – during a power outage. In addition to a standard outlet, it has a twist-lock outlet and a TT30R outlet that's compatible with RVs and travel trailers. Owners say this generator is easy to set up and start, and it doesn't use too much fuel. Users disagree about the noise level; some say it's nice and quiet, while others find it too loud. We also saw a couple of complaints about that it wavers and cuts out when running at full capacity.
If your power needs are even more modest, the 1,200-watt Champion 42436 (Est. $180) is a good alternative. It's a bit quieter than the 46596, and quite a bit lighter, at only 53 pounds empty. Also, unlike the larger Champion generator, the 42436 is CARB-compliant and can be sold in all 50 states. Owners say this little generator is user-friendly, and it draws compliments for its build quality as well. Still, with its low wattage output (and only 1,500 watts of starting power) and just one 120-volt receptacle, the 42436 has limited powering abilities. According to the Champion website, it can only handle a few small appliances and household items, such as a microwave, TV, fan, and lights.
Both the 42436 and the 46596 include a fuel gauge and a low-oil shutdown sensor, two features not always found on cheaper generators. Likewise, the brand's three-year limited warranty is excellent coverage for generators in this price range.
Gasoline is an inexpensive fuel for powering tools, but not necessarily the most convenient one. Maintenance for a gasoline-powered generator includes always having fresh fuel on-hand, using a fuel stabilizer, and either running the engine once a month or draining the fuel tank and lines. "Propane-powered portable generators solve these problems and more," say editors at The Family Handyman. "You can store and use liquid propane indefinitely (it doesn't go bad). Refueling is simple and safe; just replace the propane tank with a full one. And you don't have to worry about the carburetor on your generator getting gummed up with old gasoline."
Unfortunately, the generator tests at ConsumerReports.org don't include very many propane-powered models. The few that are covered don't fare very well in the ratings, partly because they can only run for a few hours on a single tank of fuel. So to find the best propane-powered generators, we turned to user-written reviews on retail sites.
The top pick among owners is the Sportsman GEN7000LP (Est. $800). It provides 6,000 watts of running power and 7,000 watts of startup power – enough to run all the essentials during a power outage. It has four standard outlets, one 120/240-volt twist-lock outlet, and a 12-volt DC outlet. Working at half its capacity, it can run for about 8 hours on a 20-pound tank of propane. It's backed by a one-year warranty, which is adequate, but not very impressive.
We found more the most reviews for this portable generator at HomeDepot.com, nearly 290 of them, and it earns a 4.3 star score. What owners love most about it is the convenience of propane fuel, which is easier to buy and store in quantity and produces less unpleasant exhaust than gasoline. They also say this propane-powered generator is easy to start and has enough power to handle all their basic needs. Their most common complaints are that it's noisy and the instructions on assembling and using it are unclear. Not that many owners ran into mechanical problems with the generator, but those who did say that the manufacturer, Buffalo Tools, is hard to reach and not particularly helpful.
If you can manage with just a few essential appliances, the 3,250-watt Generac LP3250 (Est. $560) offers a reasonable balance of power, performance, and genuine portability. It's powerful enough to run a sump pump, but not quite beefy enough to power a clothes dryer. However, most reviewers agree it can run such basics as a fridge, sump pump, and lights. The LP3250 has four 5-20R outlets and a single 20-amp 120/240-volt twist-lock outlet. It accepts 20- or 30-pound tanks of propane, and they mount directly onto the generator. Generac estimates nine hours of run time at half load on a 20-pound propane tank.
Owners, particularly those posting at Amazon.com, say customer support for this model isn't great – among other things, not all Generac-authorized service centers will work on propane models – but they love not having to wait in long lines for gasoline during a shortage. They also find that the LP3250 is quieter than a gas-powered generator. With its included wheel kit, the 137-pound generator is highly maneuverable, and assembly is quick and easy. However, we saw several complaints about durability. Also, some owners say the generator is tricky to start, and the unclear instruction manual doesn't make it any easier.

Efforts on to prepare ideal pitch for India-South Africa ODI in Indore
Indore: The Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association is trying to prepare an ideal batting pitch for the one-day international match to be played between India and South Africa at the Holkar stadium here on October 14.
"Huge score excites and entertains the spectators in a limited overs match. So keeping this in mind, we are attempting to make an ideal pitch for the clash," Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association pitch curator Samunder Singh Chauhan told PTI. He is hopeful that the upcoming match will be a thriller at the local Holkar stadium where three one-day matches had been hosted earlier.
In one of the three matches held on December 8, 2011, India had scored 418 runs and thrashed West Indies by 153 runs. It was the highest score by any team on this ground. The match is memorable as Virender Sehwag had created history by scoring 219 runs, which still remains etched in the minds of cricket fans.

Despite the almost hyperventilating headlines in recent days, Alex Rodriguez is all but assured of returning to the Yankees next season.
"He's not going anywhere," general manager Brian Cashman reiterated Monday for what must have seemed like the 200th time since the Yankees' season ended Thursday.
And so the most relevant question becomes this: What kind of player can the Yankees expect to have in 2013?
Scouts and talent evaluators who watched the Yankees all season, including in the postseason, aren't entirely sure.
"Clearly in decline but was still at least a somewhat productive player when he was healthy," one scout said.
But the postseason was something entirely different, the scout said. A-Rod went 3-for-25, often looking lost at the plate. The Yankees, the scout added, "couldn't have done worse" with just about anyone else at bat.
The Yankees came to the same conclusion, pinch hitting for A-Rod in ALDS Games 3 and 4, then benching him for Game 5, and pinch hitting for him in ALCS Game 1 and benching him in Games 3 and 4. He wound up going 0-for-2 in Game 4.
Two talent evaluators mentioned the possibility that A-Rod was not 100 percent physically, though he and the Yankees have said he was healthy.
"No bat speed," an opposing talent evaluator said of the playoffs. "You wonder if there was something in his lower half."
A-Rod had hip surgery in 2009 but has maintained that the hip hasn't been an issue. He will turn 38 in July and has had a DL stint in each of the last five seasons. He sat out 36 games with a left fifth metacarpal fracture after being hit by a pitch July 24.
Rodriguez went 15-for-50 (.300) with three homers and 11 RBIs in the first 13 games after returning from that injury but then struggled to the finish line in the regular season, going 14-for-61 (.230) with no homers and two RBIs in the last 15 games.
Then it really got bad.
"Looked like his bat speed was much slower than in the regular season," said the other talent evaluator who raised the question of an injury. "Not sure if the wrist was 100 percent or not, but the bat speed was there before the injury. He could not get his front foot down in time on average fastballs."
That struggle was especially pronounced against righties, against whom he went 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts in the playoffs.
And that, another scout said, is the biggest issue when the Yankees look ahead to 2013. Rodriguez wasn't great against righties during the regular season, but at least there was some production. He hit .256 with a .326 on-base percentage and .391 slugging percentage with 10 homers and 33 RBIs in 356 plate appearances against righties and was .308/.410/.514 with eight homers and 24 RBIs in 173 plate appearances against lefties.
If you're the Yankees, the scout said, "You hope that was just a small sample size."
No date yet for CC
Cashman said a specific date had not yet been determined for when CC Sabathia will visit Dr. James Andrews to have his left elbow evaluated. "He'll see him in the next 10 days," he said.
Sabathia has pitched with a bone spur in the elbow since his days in Cleveland, and a decision will be made about whether it should be removed or shaved down. Either way, he is expected to be ready for spring training.

An atom is the unit of matter that all objects in the universe are composed of. Atoms are made of a dense nucleus surrounded by energy levels made up of negatively charged electrons. Different atomic elements each have a unique number of protons. To learn about the basics of atomic structure with a visual aid, you can create a model of an atom composed of wooden or iron rings to represent the atom's energy levels, a styrofoam ball to represent the nucleus and small objects to represent the neutrons, protons and electrons.
Select an atom to model from the periodic table. The atomic number above the element name represents the number of protons and electrons in the element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the number of protons from the mass number written underneath the name of the element. Write down the number of neutrons, protons and electrons.
Find the arrangement of the electrons on each level by finding the electron configuration table for the element. The first row of numbers represents the number of energy levels. The superscript number represents the number of electrons in a sub shell. To get the number of electrons in each shell, add together the superscript numbers across each column. Write down the number of energy levels and the number of electrons in each shell.
Use one wooden or wire ring to represent each energy level. The circles should be placed together concentrically, with the first energy level the largest ring and the last the smallest. Glue jelly beans or mini marshmallows onto the rings to represent the number of electrons in each shell.
Use the styrofoam ball to represent the nucleus of the atom. Glue small objects, such as beads, to the styrofoam ball to represent the number of protons and neutrons in the element. Place the styrofoam ball in the centre of the rings.
Display the atom model by either gluing the rings and styrofoam ball to a piece of paper or wall, or hanging from the ceiling by tying it all together with one or more pieces of string.

Serve, see, encourage: Team SonRise provides mission support during Haiti trip
A team of seven people from Southbrook Baptist Church in Wadena and four from the 7:10 Foundation joined forces to assist Haitians during a mission trip in January.
The purpose of the Haiti trip was to serve, see, encourage and help in development. The 7:10 Foundation is constructing a campus for widows in LaDigue, Haiti, and is assisting local Haitians and national (Haitian) church ministries in caring for orphans, building/operating a school for the poorest kids, and providing/developing efficient agricultural concepts.
Southbrook Baptist Church members joined the 7:10 Foundation as "Team SonRise" to help with the mission.
"We had been preparing for this trip for months, speaking from personal experience and also going through a study titled 'Helping Without Hurting,'" said Tanja Dwire, with the 7:10 Foundation. "This study helped us all prepare to support lasting change in ourselves and to the materially poor in Haiti. The concepts were new to most, but from the beginning we wanted the team to focus on relationship building, and not physical building (ie. churches, homes, schools)."
Pastor Jake Heppner of Southbrook Baptist Church said the goal was to focus on relationship building and work with the Haitians.
It was a culture shock for many of them.
"It was a lot to take in," said Karen Swain. "It was rewarding, though. Doing the prayer walk, it was amazing that people who had nothing asked for health and God in their lives instead of monetary items."
Heppner said they have been asked why they chose to go to Haiti and they had several reasons.
"Haiti is the poorest country in the world and it's close enough to get to without several legs of a flight," he said.
In addition, a lot of mission work has already started there so they can join a group and be confident that they will be doing good in the right places, he said.
The group worked on a church roof, did a village prayer walk and paid attention to needy adults and children. They brought gifts to give through local Haitian ministries rather than directly from them.
"There's a limited amount of service that can be done without seeing and understanding the people and culture," the group explained to church members after returning from their trip. "The trip necessitated a lot of seeing. We visited many homes and even did a museum one day, which answered many questions about how the Haitians found themselves in the situation they are in today."
Team SonRise encouraged Haitians through helping the locals as they attempt to meet the needs of those in their community that are in the most need through building schools and teaching.
"We really had no idea what to expect upon arrival," Dwire said. "One of the prominent men in the village prepared his home for our team to stay in. I had seen the home once, I had no photos, and the team had no idea where we would be staying."
They said they were blessed to arrive at their home and were surprised by the hospitality from people they had never met.
Michelle Kern said she hopes to alter the views of people who thought Haiti was a dangerous, scary place to travel.
"It wasn't that at all," she said. "I want to alter those expectations and let people know that there are good people there and we're making connections."
Team SonRise included Tanja Dwire, Jeremiah Dwire, Sherry Dwire and Emily Ziegler from the 7:10 Foundation and Pastor Jake Heppner, John Heppner, Michelle Kern, Dan Kern, Ben Swain, Karen Swain and Faith Swain from Southbrook Baptist.
The 7:10 Foundation will continue to take trips to Haiti and encourages other groups to partner with the organization, Dwire said.

Barrie McDermott is stepping down as Leeds Rhinos' head of youth development to take up a new role overseeing player welfare at the club.
McDermott who played 283 games for Leeds from 1995-2005, has been in charge of the club's junior players since 2009, but the 41-year-old revealed: "Having spoken with the club, I am keen to look at a new opportunity within the Rhinos, that of player welfare.
"In recent years this has become a major focus within the game and rightfully so. As clubs, we have a duty of care for our players and as a game we must do as much as we can to help them in life, not just the 80 minutes when they are on the field at the weekend.
"This is something I feel passionate about and an area I have learned a lot about during my time as head of youth development. When you are working with young lads to get them through college or helping them gain work experience so they can build a career post-rugby it enforces the sacrifices our players make to try and be the lucky ones who become full-time Super League players.
"Hopefully, I can transfer those skills to my new role and work with the first-team players as well to develop their skills by accessing the various options that are available to them, especially those who are coming towards the end of their playing careers."
Looking back on his previous job, McDermott said: "I have had five fantastic years as head of youth development and worked with some fantastic coaches and players during that time.
"We had a big job on our hands initially to get things back to where we wanted them to be, but through a lot of hard work and dedication from our development staff we have been able to do that.
"We devised a clear strategy my staff put into action across the community game that ensures each year we have good enough young players coming through. Many have gone to play for Leeds, other Super League clubs, in the Championship or at a high level of the community game.
"We have seen players come right through the systems we put in place to play in the first team, such as Brad Singleton, Stevie Ward, Liam Sutcliffe, Elliot Minchella and most recently Rob Mulhern to name but a few.
"The quality of those lads, both as players and people, is something I am very proud of and I am sure they will go on to have long and successful careers on the basis of the lessons were taught during their time in the Rhinos academy."
Player performance manager Simon Bell will now have an expanded role within the youth development programme, reporting to head Brian McDermott.

Michael Jordan Reacts to Miley Cyrus' '23' Video
We finally have a reaction from the NBA legend Michael Jordan to Miley Cyrus' horrible '23' video. MJ responds the exact why I did.
If you're a sneakerhead or basketball fan you know the famous clip.
I can't believe Miley could disgrace the Chicago Bulls legend and his jersey by acting raunchy and crazy. Everyone can see her antics are only attention seeking but tasteless.

"Some positive feedback on recent operation in..."
About: Watford General Hospital Watford General Hospital Watford WD18 0HB
Posted via NHS Choices
I have just seen the news regarding the recent issues with the children ward at Watford General and was completely shocked and felt that I had to write to express sadness at the report. As our experience from the moment we arrived and throughout the day was super. On arrival the welcome was efficient and warm, everything was available and ready, we were kept informed throughout the day which calmed me as a parent and my 2 year old son. There were lots of toys and things to do which kept everyone occupied. The medical treatment received was given with great care and consideration and with a very professional service. We recently had a different operation in a private hospital and the service my son received compared favourable. The level of cleanliness was very good and on departure we were given all contact details for any issues. An added bonus we received free parking after 3 hours. I would definitely recommend this hospital to others. Thank you to all of you during our difficult time.

Vicar's daughter will need all the faith she can muster when crunch negotiations with Europe get under way
A few years ago, I spent an afternoon with David Davis - the new British Minister in charge of conducting the Brexit negotiations - and I thought him one of the most optimistic, grounded and positive politicians I have encountered. The optimism was particularly striking given his background. He was born to a single mother, Betty Brown, in York in 1948. His natural father abandoned Betty, and she was faced with the choice of an illegal abortion, an unwilling adoption, or the problems - and stigma, at that time - of bringing up her child alone. Bravely, she kept her son and he retained a life-long respect, as well as love, for his mother's fortitude.
Subsequently, Betty married Ronald Davis, a fitter's mate, and they moved to a poor part of south London. The family - which now included David's half-sister - had very little money, but there was warmth, love, and from his step-father, Ronald, a valued sense of fatherly care and mentoring.
David Davis talked a lot about how important a father's role was in family life - perhaps because his biological father never bothered with him. It was Ronald Davis, and also an encouraging step-grandfather (who had been a Jarrow marcher and a member of the Communist Party) who became young David's role models.

San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick said he will end his National Anthem kneeling protests nextseason, since, according to him, his actions last year did exactly what he intended them to do: get people talking about serious issues like police brutality, social inequality and discrimination.
But since those are all still serious issues — probably more so now than when he started his protests last year,what REALLY caused Kaepernick to reverse course this week and announce he'll stand for the anthem next season?
Well, for one, he's set to become a free agent for the first time in his career, after opting out of his contract in San Francisco. Last year,the buttwipe was under contract and really didn't have anything to lose. But now it's a much different story. This year he will be an unemployed player in a sea of MANY other more talented unemployed players.
Kaepernick thinks he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL again, and maybe he can be. But the fact is, one major deterrent among NFL teams when considering a player is: Will that player be a distraction?
His message was a little muddled with the Fidel Castro t-shirt and the fact he didn't even exercise his right to vote — which was contradictory to the whole idea of "get out there and make a difference". But he did get the nation talking.… about what a spoiled, uninformed idiot he is.
It just feels a little opportunistic when, all of a sudden, Kaepernick's future is on the line — and that's when he decides to say, "I think I've made my point."
I'm so impressed by his change of heart that I wrote an opening letter for his resume':
Dear Possible Future Employers,
I have made my point and everything is good now, so I will again stand up and respect the National Anthem for our great country. Oh by the way I am going to be an unemployed free agent with a 1-10 record last season, and don't want to make a scene while I am still trying to get paid. My courageous actions are now over and all I want is to be once again an entitled overpaid athlete. Please someone give me another opportunity to earn huge money.
P.S. This has nothing to do with the fact that Trump is President, National Pride is on the comeback, and Real Americans couldn't give a shit less about my idiotic, uninformed whining.
God Bless America,
