Kenya: Bishops seek to curtail breakaway church
Catholic bishops in Kenya may be forced to use legal channels to stop a breakaway church, established in Kenya by an ex-Catholic priest, from using its current name: Reformed Roman Catholic Church (RRCC), they said ina press conference last Wednesday. The chairman of the Kenya Episcopal conference, Archbishop John Njue said the Catholic Church is considering trying to legally stop the name being used, as the group is "sowing confusion among the faithful." The former priest, Godfrey Shiundu, was excommunicated by local Kitale bishop, Maurice Crawley, after he married a Miss Stella Nangila at a Kitale play ground in February. The ceremony was performed by Dr Karl Raimund Rodig a self-styled 'archbishop' of the German Reformed Catholic Church which originated in Germany. The bishops said: "This church has no relation to the Roman Catholic Church as they claim. It is not and cannot be a branch of the Catholic Church as the Catholic Church is a universal one," the bishops said. "We the Catholic bishops have no concrete information about the minister who presided over the ceremony, even though he claimed to be a bishop. He did not contact the bishop of Kitale and he is not in communion with the Catholic Church." The bishops said: "we urge all to pray for the conversion of all involved. We also want to warn our faithful against possible impostors who may have other interests."

Since, ceilings do more than provide shelter as they can enhance the overall design and decor of a room and so by using decorative and good quality ceilings that best suits your interior will drastically enhance the overall design and structure of your home.
The shades on a contemporary light will be made of light brown, beige or classic white. The shades that cover the bulb can be square or cylinder in shape. Pendant lighting would be best used over the top of counters or bars for a dramatic affect on the area or in dining areas.
Pendant lights are fixed to the ceiling with a pole or chain that allows the bulb and shade to hang down. The chain or pole will tend to be silver in color but can also be bronze or even black. This type of contemporary lighting can be found in a single light fixture or one that includes many bulbs.
These hang down just a little with the use of a metal mounting system and will hold onto the shade. This style of light will also work perfect in any contemporary designed bathroom.

Earlier this month I read a book that I desperately needed:
Sam Crabtree. Practicing Affirmation: God-Centered Praise of Those Who Are Not God. Wheaton: Crossway, 2011.
And I already need to read it again.
Sam Crabtree is executive pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, and John Piper, that church's pastor for preaching and vision, writes the foreword.
Here's an interview with the author (audio):
And here are some excerpts from the book:
[T]he praising of people does not necessarily preclude the praising of God, if the people are commended ultimately for his glory. God is glorified in us when we affirm the work he has done and is doing in others. (p. 12)
Good affirmations are God-centered, pointing to the image of God in a person. (p. 18)
Proportionality matters when it comes to affirmation, for affirmation can be choked out by criticism, correction, or mere indifference and neglect. (p. 44)
It takes many affirmations to overcome the impact of a criticism, because criticisms are heavier and sting more. (p. 48)
Corrections tend to cancel affirmations, and the closer the proximity to correction, the more crippled the affirmation. (p. 64)
I can be so quick to point out the negative while taking the positive for granted, assuming people around me will behave the way I think they should and forgetting that I might have a role to play in encouraging them to behave in certain ways. (p. 74)
Not only commend people to their faces (or in letters), but commend them behind their backs, whether or not the report ever gets back to them. (p. 109)
Related: Bob Kaulflin on receiving compliments
Update: I named this book one of the top three of 2011.

Berlin: Jens Lehmann made the key saves in the penalty shootout on Friday to send Germany into the World Cup semifinals with a 4-2 win over Argentina. Lehmann saved shots from Roberto Ayala and Esteban Cambiasso to give the host team the win after a tense match at the Olympic Stadium. Oliver Neuville, Michael Ballack, Lukas Podolski and Tim Borowski all scored for the Germans. Julio Cruz and Maxi Rodriguez scored for Argentina. Before the shootout, backup goalkeeper Oliver Kahn shook hands with Lehmann as he sat on the ground waiting for the penalty kicks to start. Miroslav Klose headed in the goal that sent the match into extra time in the 80th. The two teams played 30 minutes of extra time but were still level at 1-1. Ballack crossed the ball into the center for Borowski, who headed the ball on to Klose. The Polish-born Germany striker then scored his tournament-leading fifth World Cup goal by beating backup goalkeeper Leonardo Franco. Franco, who was playing in a World Cup for the first time, came on for Roberto Abbondanzieri. Argentina's starting goalkeeper left the field in the 71st, about five minutes after a collision with Klose on a free kick. Ayala had put Argentina in the lead in the 49th with a header off a corner from Juan Roman Riquelme. The winner will play Italy or Ukraine in the semifinals on Tuesday in Dortmund. With Ballack limping through extra time, neither team created much offence. The Germany captain sat down on the sideline in pain in the 116th, moments after giving his team its best chance with a through ball to Neuville. Ballack returned to the game two minutes later. Argentina controlled the ball for two-thirds of the first half, dictating a slower pace that frustrated the Germans. But it was the hosts who got the only true scoring chance in the half, with Ballack putting a header wide and high in the 16th minute off a lob from Bernd Schneider. Ballack began limping midway through the period, but at least he was noticeable. Klose touched the ball just a couple of times, while Argentina striker Hernan Crespo was invisible. If this was the classic soccer so many hoped for, it was a major disappointment. Even the 72,000 fans seemed let down, and the usual fervor was missing. About the most action in the opening 45 minutes came on fouls: 25 in all. Klose was heavily involved in Argentina's first goal, though. Riquelme, who orchestrates the methodic Argentine attack, sent his corner kick into the middle of the Germany box, and Ayala soared over Klose to head it home. It was the first time Germany trailed in the tournament, and Olympic Stadium suddenly was alive with jumping, chanting, blue-and-white clad fans. (AP)

A WWI Naval Group to Warrant Mechanic Frederick W. Kemp - 1914-15 Star (290603. F.W. KEMP. MECH., R.N.); British War Medal (WT. MECH. F.W. KEMP. R.N.); and Victory Medal (WT. MECH. F.W. KEMP. R.N.). Naming is officially impressed. Court-mounted, dark patina on the BWM, light contact, extremely fine. Accompanied by a duotang folder with his military biography and two ship black and white photographs (H.M.S. Achillies and H.M.S. Centurian). Footnote: Frederick William Kemp was a Mechanic in the Royal Navy at the turn of the century (c. 1900), later achieving the rank of Warrant Mechanic on October 1, 1917.

Hungarian Higher Education system
Hungarian higher education has represented academic excellence for more than 600 years and it began with our University, the first university in Hungary.
Hungary joined the Bologna Process in 1999 by signing the Bologna Declaration with 28 other countries with a view to establishing the European Higher Education Area by 2010. The Hungarian Act on Higher Education was inspired by the objectives of the Bologna Process. The first cycle programmes last 6-8 semesters (3-4 years, 180-240 credit points) and lead to a Bachelor's degree. The second cycle leading to a Master's degree, last 2-4 semesters (1-2 years, 60-120 credit points). Programmes can be full-time, part-time or of a distance learning nature. A three-year doctoral programme is a postgraduate alternative to follow any Master's or equivalent qualification.
Credit system
The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is the only existing credit system in Hungary. The ECTS was developed within the framework of European higher education cooperation and mobility programmes for recognising periods of studies. The ECTS was initially implemented in the academic year 2003-2004.
Courses and Grades
In Hungarian universities education is provided in a system of seminars and lectures. Lectures are held for big audiences, the attendance is recommended, but usually not obligatory. At the end of the semester students have to pass written or oral examinations. Seminars are usually more informal study groups for 10-20 students, where there is room for individual consultation, discussion of the material and solving exercises. They usually conclude with an independently written paper or an examination.
The grading system generally used by Hungarian higher education institutions is the following:
- The highest grade is 5 excellent.
- Grade 4 is good.
- Grade 3 is average.
- Grade 2 is a pass.
- Grade 1 is a fail - the course must be repeated.
Structure of the University of Pécs
The University has the traditional structure of European universities, headed by a rector and a team of two vice rectors, each responsible for a different area of university life. The faculties, headed by a dean, and the institutes headed by a director, represent larger academic areas. They are subdivided into departments that are in daily contact with students and are responsible for the academic programmes.

Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) SELLER MANAGED Fundraising Online Auction - Tenth Line Road
A max bid would make it more difficult for others to outbid you.
A max bid is the highest amount you are willing to pay for an auction item.
In response to other bids, the auction system will automatically increase your bid in the smallest increment possible (up to your max bid amount) in order to maintain your lead position.
To get a max bid you simply enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay into the bid form just as you would any other bid. If your bid is more than one bidding increment above the current high bid you will get a max bid unless another bidder has a max bid in place that is higher than the amount you enter.
At the end of the auction, the winning bidder pays only the lowest winning bid possible. That means that you can win an auction item at a price less than your max bid amount.
Your max bid amount is kept confidential from other bidders.
You can lower or delete a max bid by entering a lower amount.
Note: After watching hundreds of auctions and talking to thousands of bidders, we think using max bids in your bidding strategy works best for most people. It eliminates some of the pressure and reduces the risk of "sniping", where other bidders slip in slightly higher bids in the last seconds of bidding.
You now have a max bid.
You can raise or lower your max bid at any time by entering a new amount.
If you wish to remove your max bid you can do so by entering an amount equal to the current bid into the bid form.
You can adjust this max bid by using the form above.
If you want to remove your max bid click here.
You can enter the minimum bid of %s or a greater amount.
If you bid more than the minimum bid you will get a max bid that the system will use to bid for you against other bidders, up to the amount you enter. So if you enter a bid of %s for this item, the system will place bids on your behalf in response to bids from other users until someone bids more than %s.

I need to buy cases of beer for my wedding, and would like to offer a few good, local beers. The Yards brewery just told me their cases are $31.00 at their brewery. Does anyone know of a distributor in Pennsylvania, Delaware, or New Jersey where I could buy cases of decent beer for under $30, even better if it's from the mid-Atlantic, NE region?
I was hoping that the price could get as low as $22-$25 if I bought more than 10 cases but don't know if that's realistic.

Usability testing is essential to determine whether your content and e-Learning environment have been designed to achieve your instructional goals and to provide the optimal learning environment for your audience.
Usability testing will also potentially encourage support or "buy-in" for e-Learning from users who may be uncertain or resistant. If staged properly, evaluation involves learners as co-designers or participatory designers in their learning experience, giving them a sense of ownership and enhancing learning outcomes.

This editorial will appear in Thursday's print edition.
In a recent Washington Post op-ed piece, Toyota president Akio Toyoda wrote that his company "has always put the needs of our customers first."
That claim sounds a little hollow in light of new revelations by Bloomberg News. It found that Toyota employees hired away from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration were able to help quash four investigations by the federal agency into possible safety issues involving unintended acceleration. That's the very problem cited in at least 19 deaths between 2004 and 2009 and is at the heart of Toyota's recall of 8.5 million vehicles.
Three congressional committees plan to hold hearings as early as next week, looking into when Toyota knew about its vehicles' safety problems and how it responded to complaints. And the Transportation Department is demanding documents related to the recall to see if the giant automaker acted quickly enough. By law, automakers are supposed to notify the NHTSA within five days of discovering a defect.
Congress should also look into whether those former NHTSA employees hired by Toyota were able to exert undue influence on the agency, perhaps delaying a recall that might have saved lives.
The NHTSA – a Transportation Department agency – is facing criticism from consumer groups that it's been too cozy with automakers and hasn't been aggressive enough about using its subpoena powers to get information.
Regulators' first responsibility is to the public, not to those they regulate. That can be a hard message to get across to agency employees, especially if they are looking to their next job – in the very industry they are regulating. There are waiting-period requirements for high-level agency people, but not for the lower-level positions like those held by the Toyota employees hired away from the NHTSA.
Even though there was no rule against Toyota hiring the NHTSA employees, the agency should have declined to work with them in connection with its investigations. Their inside knowledge of how things work at the NHTSA – and the people involved – could only have given them an advantage that now, in retrospect, looks bad for the agency.
The recall is more than a matter of safety for those who drive Toyotas. It's also an economic blow to those involved with manufacturing and selling the vehicles. Sales are down, production has been halted at some locations, and people's livelihoods are being affected.
It's very possible that much of that impact might have been avoided had Toyota been more forthcoming earlier and federal regulators been more diligent. Toyota's president has vowed to do whatever it takes "to restore trust in our word and in our products."
Getting to the truth is the first step.

Did you know that...
Learn everything you ever wanted to know about exotic, irresisible baby animals in this fascinating book filled with full-color photographs.
Renowned science writer Seymour Simon takes on parenthood! In lucid prose he describes how thirteen different wild animals raise their young. Stunning photographs help place each animal in its distinct habitat, from penguins in the Antarctic to kangaroos in the outback. But whether it is an enormous polar bear fiercely protecting her cubs, or a sleek alligator swimming away right after her babies hatch, Seymour Simon shows us what is unique and important about each animal.
Young children always enjoy looking at pictures of baby animals so these photographs by Seymour Simon are sure to fascinate them. He has focused on less familiar species including a lynx kitten, a newborn alligator and an emperor penguin chick. Although the text is written for young readers, older children will also find it interesting.

While I've talked about the frequent weight checks for Big Man, I haven't really talked about all he's been going through the last few years, and part of the reason for all those weight checks.
It wasn't something entirely unexpected, but it was frustrating nonetheless. Back in late-seventh, and eighth grade, nearly all his friends started their growth spurts. While Big Man didn't stop growing, he didn't spurt. Suddenly, most of his friends were significantly taller, while he stayed much the same height. My brother grew late. Spouse grew late. So did my BIL apparently, so we weren't too worried. But then he fell far off his own growth curve….like REALLY far off his own growth curve. It was enough his pediatrician called in the troops – ordered blood work, and started all the referrals to any specialist applicable. We've spent the last 2+ years getting follow-up testing, blood work, bone age scans, visiting endocrinology a few times.
What it came down to is the fact he is just constitutionally delayed – by a bit over 2 years. That means his body is two years behind his chronological age. That's kind of a big deal for a fourteen/fifteen/sixteen year old. He took it in stride initially, but then when even the "small" kids in his friend group grew taller than he, the struggle began. He never said much about it, but I knew it was hard for him. It was miserable for me to see the difference, to see my little big boy walking around, significantly shorter than most of his peers. I prayed continually for him to grow. Like when he was in the NICU, we began to celebrate every ounce gained, every part of an inch grown. We watched for any sign he was entering his spurt. Days, weeks, months passed, and nothing.
He's nearly seventeen. He's grown almost three inches since January 1st. I really have to look up to him now. His voice has changed. His face looks different – more adult, more defined. He sleeps constantly. He eats when he isn't asleep. He's shot up three lines on the growth curve. His ADHD doctor now says he can't even guess how tall Big Man will be (just a year ago, he was telling me Big Man would maybe end up at 5'9″ or so).
I can't express my level of relief – moreso for him than anything. I don't have to see that look on his face anymore. He's catching up to his friends. We saw his pediatrician last week and she was surprised, but not really surprised. We've reached the end of this particular medical journey. He is fully in his growth spurt. Whew. We do have one more visit with endocrinology in September, just to dot that final i and cross that final t.
I'm once again reminded of his NICU days…..in the beginning, in the middle, and even towards the end, it seemed we would never see the day he would come home. The last few years, it seemed we would never reach the end of this delay, we wondered he would ever grow. This child has always done things in his own time, on his own terms. This shouldn't have been any surprise to me at all, yet it was. But now this too will be put behind us, and I will look up at my getting-taller-every-day big boy, and be thankful.

At the tail end of last year, I had a new article published in the relatively new academic journal, Identity Papers: A Journal of British and Irish Studies. Titled, Britishness and Muslim-ness: differentiation, demarcation and discrimination in political discourse, it is free to download for everyone by clicking here.
To whet your appetite – if necessary – I've pasted the abstract below:
The Britishness agenda found in political speeches, reporting and opinion editorials is here posited as a form of 'new racism', as it emphasises the difference between 'them', Muslims, and 'us', non-Muslim Britons, and uses that difference as a defining demarcation. Twenty-first-century political discourse invested in the Britishness agenda works to eradicate distinctions between British Muslims and non-British Muslims, and even the distinction between those guilty of terrorist atrocities and those who have nothing to do with them. Muslims are framed within this discourse as the…

NextGEN -Innovative Program Prepares Young People for Careers of the Future

NextGEN - Innovative Program Prepares Young People Of Goulburn & Shellharbour for Careers of the Future
7 February 2017: Today Executive Officer of Kiama and Shoalhaven Community Colleges, Helen Zwicker, announced the next NextGEN Digital programs will be launched in Goulburn and Kiama/ Shellharbour in March.
NextGEN Digital is funded through the Department Of Employment's Empowering YOUth Program and is designed to prepare young people aged 15-24 for a career in IT and Digital Media, an industry that is forecast to experience a 76% increase by 2020, more than any other Australian sector.
Having already run two successful NextGEN programs in Wollongong and Nowra involving 24 participants, Kiama Community College is looking forward to giving young people and businesses in regional areas the opportunity to take advantage of the program.
In expanding the program to Goulburn and Shellharbour, Kiama Community College Executive Officer, Helen Zwicker said, "We've been excited to see the difference this program can make in the lives of young people from all backgrounds. Previous participants have found this program to be instrumental in getting an employment foothold in the fast growing digital sector and we're keen to see the same result in these additional regions."
NextGEN Digital is much more than a training program- participants actually use the skills they learn to undertake real digital tasks for real local businesses and get paid for it. Examples of digital tasks that students undertake include website creation, graphic design and search engine optimisation. "The experience has been fantastic. Our website is beautiful and clean. We are really happy" says Sally Stevenson, from Illawarra Women's Health Centre, of the work that participants undertook for her organisation. The program is just one of a handful of innovative funded programs across the nation tackling youth unemployment in a fresh way to prepare young peoplein regional areas for jobs of the future.
Sandra S, a parent of a participant in a recent NextGEN program says of her son, "He's really enjoyed it. He talks about it all the time. Its given him more confidence in his work, he's loved it!"

Get into Uni-Bridging A Pathway Between Your ATAR and University Of Wollongong UOW
Kiama & Shoalhaven Community Colleges offer affordable university pathways and bridging scholarships in partnership with University Of Wollongong
It's the time of year when stories of ATAR disappointment are too common. As HSC Students and their families come to terms with the shortfall between their ATAR and required University entry requirements, Kiama & Shoalhaven Community Colleges have a clear message: there are a wide range of Certificate IV and Diploma courses that can help students achieve their University entry aspirations, even if their HSC results aren't what they had hoped for.
By successfully completing a Certificate IV or Diploma qualification at Kiama or Shoalhaven Community College, students will be guaranteed entry into the University Of Wollongong's Bachelor Of Commerce (Shoalhaven), Bachelor Of Business (Shoalhaven) or Bachelor Of Arts (Shoalhaven) under articulation arrangements that have been established between Kiama Community College and UOW. Thanks to Smart & Skilled, and UOW Scholarships, this Bridging option is very affordable.
Courses available at the College in 2017 that qualify for University Entry Pathways include:
Certificate IV in Accounting FNS40615
Certificate IV in Business Administration BSB40515
Certificate IV in Leadership & Management BSB42015
Diploma Of Business Administration BSB50415
Diploma Of Leadership & Management BSB51915
Diploma Of Beauty Therapy SHB50115
Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy SHB40115

With NSW Government's Smart & Skilled Training subsidies currently available for most Cert IV and Diploma Courses, combined with the availability of VET Fee Help and the University of Wollongong's Pathway Scholarships, study options at Kiama & Shoalhaven Community Colleges as a means of gaining entry to University are not only of a very high quality but also affordable. In fact, students are able to undertake a University bridging course as part of their scholarship.
The College's Certificate IV and Diploma courses can also be used as a means of gaining entry to a broader range of undergraduate degree courses with Cert IV courses attracting an ATAR equivalent of 72 and Diploma courses having an even higher ATAR equivalent. The Diploma in Business Administration can also provides up to 6 months credit towards a Business or Commerce Degree at UOW (http://www.uow.edu.au/content/groups/public/@web/@unia/documents/doc/uow110648.pdf) for students Other entry requirements may exist for specific university courses, so care should be taken to consult with the relevant faculty before selecting a bridging pathway.
Executive Officer at Kiama Community Colleges, Helen Zwicker says 2016 HSC students can access Government-subsidised places now, enabling them to select their course of choice and a study environment that meets their needs as they prepare for university entry.
"We are extremely proud to offer Illawarra and South Coast HSC students a pathway to University Of Wollongong, including guaranteed entry scholarship programs for Certificate IV qualifications such Business Administration and Accounting. In fact, students undertaking a qualification with the College could enter University as early as July 2017
Students also receive a NSW Tertiary Student Concession Card and Transport Concession for eligible courses, individualised student and pathway support, work placement embedded in most qualifications and perhaps most importantly, great employment outcomes.
Ms Zwicker adds: "The ultimate aim of HSC students who undertake our courses is to gain employment, whether that's upon completion of their studies with us, or after going on to complete a university degree.
"We know our courses result in great employment outcomes - for example, our Diploma students achieve excellent employment results, with the most recent group of graduates achieving an 88 per cent employment rate within a month of completing their studies."
A further benefit that past students have experienced by pathwaying to University via the College is the utilisation of the skills and knowledge obtained in their Cert IV or Diploma course to gain meaningful employment whilst undertaking their degree.
The Community College closes for Christmas on 23rd December 2016 and re-opens on 9th January 2017. For more information, please contact Leone Traeger at Kiama and Shoalhaven Community Colleges on (02) 4232 1050 or reserve your place online within the qualification of your choice at www.kcc.nsw.edu.au.

"I keep saying I don't want to play Europa League," the Chelsea manager said with his team having lost their first Group E match at home against Basle, putting qualification for the last 16 in jeopardy. "I put that pressure on them because we have to do everything we can to keep Chelsea playing in the Champions League because the Champions League is our competition."
Mourinho claimed that he had been "very strong" with them in the dressing room. "But, at the same time, it's the way they can grow up faster, to be faced with that pressure. If I tell them because it's a new team, I'm a new manager, a new style of football, then no problem we can finish 20 points behind in the Premier League and no one will care, or go into the Europa League because that's fine for us, they won't grow up.
"Sometimes you need big challenges, bigger than your conditions to succeed. They coped very well, so I'm happy, and we played very good football and were beautiful in attacking areas at times."
Although Mourinho continues to protest that Chelsea are a young team there were, again, few callow players on show against the Romanian champions – although one of those, Andre Schurrle, had his best game since joining the club. Even so, he is, like the 10 others who started the tie, a full senior international.
Mourinho was clearly on edge prior to the fixture and his explanation afterwards showed not only his relief at the result but that it was partly a tactic to push his team to improve and try to challenge them even this early in the season. It is a common approach from him and one which has worked in the past.
"I put the players under a lot of pressure for this game, I felt that," Mourinho said. "And they coped well with that pressure. They accepted the pressure and used it as a motivation, not a factor of 'not confidence'. The boys were very good, very strong, and played very well."
Chelsea now face a double-header of away and home fixtures against Schalke, who top the group having defeated Basle in Switzerland. Mourinho declared he was not concerned about Chelsea being group winners as long as they proceeded. Basle face home and away fixtures against Steaua, who are turning into the group's whipping boys.
"We put ourselves in a better position," Mourinho said. "If we didn't win we'd be in trouble. We finish at home, which is an advantage, but now we have the double fixture against Schalke, who have six points. Let's see. I don't want to think about being first at this moment, but qualifying. And everything is open. Let's go step by step. But with a victory we put ourselves in a more balanced position. We kept the intensity, defended very well and scored four goals. We could have scored more. We played a complete game."
The manager again professed that he was happy with the performance of Juan Mata who he, as promised, restored to the starting XI. But again his praise for the Spaniard was qualified. "He played No 10. He played No 7. He played very well with the ball, as he always does. And very good without the ball, as he never did. Yes [he is coming closer to me]. Very close."

Some quick hits from Bill Belichick's conference call with reporters Friday:
The team announced eight cuts, which Belichick called "the worst part of the job." They need to make 19 more by 4 p.m. Saturday to get to the 53-player limit.
"It's always a tough time of year for myself and all the other position coaches as well," he said.
On offensive tackle (and first-round draft pick) Nate Solder: "A lot of stuff has been thrown at him the last month, and I think he's handled it . . . I thought he did some good things."
On Matthew Slater: "Matthew is such a hard-working player. Nobody outworks him. He's gotten better every single year. He's had a real good camp."
On who'll be the team's main kick returner: "We have a number of guys who have done it on this team. It'll be someone from that group."
On safety Brandon Meriweather, rumored to be in danger of losing his roster spot: "He's had a good camp."
On the struggles of rookie quarterback Ryan Mallett: "That's the NFL. Things happen in this league fast."

This blogging is proving to be a challenge but I had to make some changes in order for it to work properly. I am still on vacation and since I do not have my software with me I will not be able to post any images or svg files. I am hoping everyone is having a great summer and will post files once I get home.

You've just added an item to your enquiry. When you're ready you can submit your enquiry here.
Ten olut, siis. For those who don't speak Estonian (how strange…), we've just translated '10 beers, please'. We know, we are too generous, but you need to sample the delicious range of beers at Estonia's only restaurant and brewery.
Created with the world-famous Austrian taverns in mind, Beerhouse is a landmark in the city – producing seven types of 'living', non-filtered and unpasteurized, beer. The brewery evokes images of the traditional Vienna streets, with Gingerbread-style houses to relax and savour the smooth hops. This place also lays claim to the largest and most popular outdoor terrace in the legendary Old Town – a terrace that spills out into everything during summer.
The recipes originate from the Bavarian breweries of XVI century, and they use only the finest ingredients from Germany – overseen by the head brewer, Eve Toomela, qualified by the best Austrian brew masters. You'll taste all of the different beers and even a snack fest in the restaurant.

Every great culture values kindness and acts of compassion. Loving your neighbor, being kind, cherishing each individual for her unique gifts are all behaviors and attitudes most parents want to see in their children. Sometimes it's easier to donate some canned foods or even go on a volunteer trip to another country than it is to be kind to the people right next to us.
How can we as parents help our children be compassionate? Here are six steps that parents can take. Continue reading

Chapter 1 : Gone
|Rating: 12+
|Chapter Reviews: 26
Background: Font color:
Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You're wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
Ronald Weasley was the only boy she had ever loved. He was witty, humble, and loyal beyond belief. His sometimes comical temper was what had drawn her to him at first. His blissful ignorance and typical male observations had been entertaining at first. At first.
She had given him so many signs, so many opportunities, and he had never grasped onto them. He had never had the courage, the nerve, or the experience to confront her and share his feelings with her. She knew that he felt the same way. Call it women's intuition, but she had a distinct notion in her mind that Ron felt the same way she did.
She had been so sure after Dumbledore's death that he would seize the moment, comfort her, let her know he would be there to protect her. Yet, he didn't. He hadn't done anything of the sort.
They were best friends. Maybe that was all they were ever meant to be.
"Hermione, dear, so good to see you," Mrs. Weasley told the seventeen year old witch as she entered the Burrow. "Harry hasn't arrived yet. He should be stopping in within the next three or four days. Wrote Ron to tell him there was something he had to take care of. That boy can be so vague."
She chuckled and hugged Hermione warmly. "You do look thin," she commented. "We'll have to fix that, won't we?"
Hermione blushed and said, "Thanks for having me, Mrs. Weasley."
"You'll be bunking with Ginny, if that's alright," Ron's mother informed her.
"More than alright," she insisted.
Bill and Fleur's wedding was in five days and Ron had invited Hermione over at the beginning of the summer. Of course, she had politely agreed, just as she always had. Meaningless expectations filled through her mind.
As she levitated her trunk up the stairs, she saw Ginny on the landing, her small pygmy clenched loosely in her hand.
"Hello, Ginny," Hermione greeted anxiously. "How's your summer been so far?"
She needn't have asked. Hermione knew it must have been hell for Ginny, what with Harry breaking things off so unexpectedly last year.
"Oh, you know, the same," she insisted dully. "Phlegm's been over here almost every day planning with Mum. Surprisingly, they've gotten to resemble friends."
"Shocking," Hermione commented, laughing.
"Guess we're bunking together again," the youngest Weasley added happily.
"Better me than Phlegm, I suppose," she joked. "Is Ron here?"
"He's in his room," Ginny told her. "I've got to go give Arnold a bath. He got loose in the garden this morning. He's a mess. Well, I'll see you later."
With that, the vivid redhead marched down the stairs once more and into the kitchen. Hermione breathed in cautiously as she opened the door to Ron's room, knocking slightly as she walked in.
"Ron," she addressed, making her presence known.
His head looked up from the novel he'd been reading, his messy red hair sashaying as he did so. His bright blue eyes were lively and entertained. He had been lying gracefully on his bed, Quidditch Through the Ages in his hands. Hermione smiled at the sight of the now worn and battered copy of the novel she had bought him for his birthday last year.
"Hermione," he greeted, sitting up from his bed awkwardly, making room for her to sit down.
"How've you been?" she asked him, sitting down, noticing that his cheeks had reddened as she did so.
"Alright, I suppose," he told her. "Mum's been a living nightmare. She's so fussed about the wedding plans."
"I'm sure," Hermione commented, allowing silence to drift over them uncomfortably.
She watched as his eyes rested on the floor, attempting to think of potential conversation.
"Have you heard from Lavender?" Hermione asked, letting curiosity overwhelm her.
"Yes," he told her. "But I never replied."
"Oh." That was all she could think to say. It was bothering her so much. There was so much tension in the air it was mesmerizing that the whole world couldn't feel it. She found herself growing more and more bold by the second, curiosity and longing overcoming the awkwardness.
She found herself reaching for his hand, slipping her fingers through his. Her brown eyes met his blue as he looked from his hand to her. For a moment, he seemed deep in contemplation. Yet, he slowly eased his hand back, letting it rest in his lap.
"I can't, Hermione," he told her. "I just can't."
And that was the day Ron Weasley broke her heart.
Contrary to popular belief, Hogwarts did reopen the next semester with Professor Minerva McGonagall as the new headmistress. Hermione had been proud to re-attend, although Harry had firmly decided not to. She could hardly blame him.
Ron had reluctantly returned as well, due to the powerful enforcement his mother had applied. She was very persuasive when she wished to be. The two of them hadn't spoken comfortably with one another since that day in the Burrow. Their conversations had been stiff and limited.
As Hermione sat in the common room late one night, a copy of Advanced Potion Making open in her lap, she heard the portrait hole slam shut. She looked over to find Ron Weasley dressed in Quidditch gear with his broom dragging behind him.
"Quidditch practice that bad?" she asked from the opposite end of the room.
"It was complete rubbish," Ron insisted. "Without Harry here, it's been hell."
"Where's Ginny?" Hermione inquired thoughtfully.
"Probably moping about somewhere on the grounds," Ron guessed, sitting down on the large couch across from Hermione's armchair. "Poor kid's in love with him and needs him now more than ever."
"Love can be more hurt than help," she agreed softly, speaking from personal experience.
He nodded, not breaking his gaze from her. He seemed to be watching her intently, as if seeing something completely new and different.
"Hermione," he addressed quietly from across the room. "Do you ever think the two of us could make things work?"
"I've wondered before," she told him coldly. "But now, no. I really don't think we could."
"Why not?" he asked her. "I mean, you're a girl and I'm a guy."
She had been waiting for the day when he would realize. The day when he would ask her to be his, to officially proclaim their longing for one another. Yet, something about it seemed entirely bland to her now. She wondered why she had hoped for so long. She knew he meant well, but something inside of her just couldn't bruise her dignity any further. Her heart had been pushed around far too many times over the years and now was no exception. She couldn't allow it to continue any longer.
She controlled her fate, her destiny, her future.
"Because, Ronald," she sighed. "We're friends. And that's all we ever will be."
As she closed her book and walked up the stairs, she knew her heart had loss that battle, but her pride was still intact. And essentially, that was all that really mattered.
He had been too late. And now, he had to come to terms with it.
