Deckorators® Introduces Voyage Composite Decking to Canadian Dealers and Deck Builders
Boards feature patented technology, bold variegation and enhanced traction
Press contact:
Chris Camfferman
Managing Director, Marketing
For Immediate Release
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., October 10, 2018 – Deckorators®, a brand of Universal Forest Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI), has expanded its innovative line of wood-alternative decking with the launch of VoyageTM. This new line of composite decking featuring patented EovationsTM technology will be available to Canadian building material dealers and deck builders for the 2019 season.
Like other members of the Deckorators Eovations decking family, Voyage delivers the industry's best strength-to-weight ratio, absorbs virtually no moisture, and allows virtually no thermal expansion or contraction. Voyage adds to these benefits the bold look of vertical grain variegation, along with innovative textured embossing for enhanced traction on the deck surface.
The new vertical grain variegation gives Voyage — an ultra-low maintenance composite — the trend-forward appearance of the highest-quality wood. Voyage comes in four beautiful colors that are the most popular in outdoor living spaces among homeowners: Sierra (dark gray), Tundra (gray), Costa (golden brown) and Mesa (red brown).
Already proven in global Deckorators applications, the unique textured embossing makes Voyage one of the most slip-resistant composite deck boards available in Canada. The embossing offers homeowners the enhanced safety of superior traction underfoot in both dry and wet conditions.
"We use extensive input from dealers and contractors to develop products that help them stand out from the competition," said Chris Camfferman, managing director, marketing, Universal Forest Products. "Our partners in Canada have experienced the unique benefits of our Frontier and Vault composite decking with Eovations technology. We're thrilled to introduce them to Voyage, the best product in a good-better-best Eovations line."
Voyage will be available for 2019 in 12-, 16- and 20-foot solid and slotted-edge profiles, as well as 12-foot fascia. It is backed by a 25-year structural, 25-year stain-and-fade and 25-year removal-and-replacement limited warranty that covers water and ground contact. Deckorators is one of the only brands in the industry to stand behind installations in, or in contact with, water or ground.
Eovations technology makes Voyage decking strong, lightweight and stable. During the Eovations process, a polymer-mineral blend is extruded and stretched. The result is a fibrous, 7/8-inch-by-5½- inch composite board that looks and works like wood. At the same time, each board is:
· 35 percent lighter than most wood-plastic composite decking and similar in weight to PVC for easier handling on the job site.
· Twice as strong as PVC decking in terms of stiffness-to-weight ratio for superior durability.
· Moisture-resistant because it contains no organic material.
· Extremely stable with the lowest thermal expansion/contraction of any thermoplastic deck board.
Voyage is capped with durable polypropylene to create a surface that is stain-, fade- and scratch-resistant.

Horse Industry Leaders See Promise in Colonial Downs Revamp
The nonprofit statewide association that represents horse-related businesses throughout the commonwealth is praising the recently signed legislation that will lead to the reopening of Colonial Downs in 2019.
The Virginia Equine Alliance says that the resurrection of the New Kent County track, closed since 2014, will lead to a revival of Virginia's horse racing, breeding, training and other commercial and agricultural enterprises involving horses.
"The General Assembly and the governor are to be commended for their support for this important legislation, legislation that not only will restore the long history of horse racing in Virginia but also will revitalize horse-related enterprises throughout the state," stated Jeb Hannum, VEA's executive director.
The legislation cleared the way for the April 24 purchase of Colonial Downs by Chicago-based Revolutionary Racing. Economic impact studies have estimated that reopening the track will lead to as many as 500 jobs for New Kent County and the region, and by year three, generate as much as $25 million for state and local governments. Proceeds from the track also will fund an incentive program that will bring horses to Virginia to board and train.

"When I first started with Avon, I wasn't sure about anything or how I would talk to people. Mrs Hollins was a great help with that and more! She's so passionate about her work and what she does for and with everyone. No question goes unanswered, no matter what it is about your business. The workshops and training videos she does are always super informative."
Quintaria Phipps
Having a lady such as Arrettres come into my life to help guide me in the right direction, helped to build my confidence within myself, and to never give up on my gifts that were within me all along. I really thank God that I came into connection with her. She has given me great insight on how to go about not only being a successful entrepreneur, but, also how to balance being a mother, student, and woman of faith. I have accomplished so much within the year and I know I needed that support and guidance through her. She is simply amazing!

The moment I made the decision to sell Avon, the first person to contact me was Arrettres Hollins. She introduced herself as my Unit leader and made me feel very welcome. From the onset, I knew that I was in good hands because she answered every question that I had and no question was considered unimportant. Arrettres has stayed in contact with me, she has checked on me, assisted me through my first order and is still helping me with the same intensity that she had from Day 1. Those qualities are hard to find in any business! To have someone take you under their wing to help you achieve your goals is very rewarding. Arrettres is a trendsetter that gives tips on sales strategies and recruitment. If you have been blessed to meet Arrettres you already know that she is very personable, knowledgeable about this business and will always be there to guide you.

September 1938. Hitler is determined to invade Czechoslovakia. The British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, is desperate to avoid what would certainly be the war following such a move. The city of Munich, Germany, is to be the site of an eleventh hour meeting between them. Harris gives us actual events of historical importance — here are Hitler, Chamberlain, Mussolini, and Daladier at the precipice of a second world war at the heart of an electrifying novel.

This one-and-one-half-story, vernacular, adobe house was built in several stages between the 1860s and 1873. First the east portion was built of logs and adobe resting on a stone foundation. The interlocking adobe bricks were mad on site using the dirt excavated for the footings. The single room was open to the rafters until the ceiling was built, creating a bedroom in the attic. The adobe was covered, inside and out, with plaster made from lime and white mud hauled from the 'bottoms' near the Sanpitch River. By 1873 the middle portion and the lean-to kitchen were built. In about the 189s, the porch was added.
Anders Christensen was a Danish immigrant who came to Utah with a handcart company as a pioneer. A polygamist, he built two dugout rooms to house his young family while he built a home. He had married his brother's wife after she became a widow and had no one to provide for her. A back room was added in about 1948, by Bertha Hughes who was a granddaughter of Anders. Bertha lived here and operated a rug weaving loom where she made over 700 rag rugs for many of the local resident. Several people trace their ancestry to this old home and hundreds gather here every July to a family reunion, among them was LDS Church President Howard W. Hunter. A family organization was established several decades ago which plans family activities on a year-round basis.

Start Trading Today
The purpose of the Risk Disclosure Statement ("the Statement") is to provide the Client appropriate guidance on the nature and risks of the specific types of financial instruments offered by Fina Holding LIMITED (hereafter the "Company").
The Client acknowledges, understands and agrees with the risks, disclosed below.
This Statement is based on the provisions of the Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law of 2007 (No. 144(I)/2007), implementing Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on Markets in Financial Instruments ("MiFID"). It should be noted that this Statement does not purport to disclose, or discuss all of the risks and other significant aspects of all transactions entered into with or through the Company. We outline the general nature of the risks of dealing in Financial Instruments on a fair and non-misleading basis. Therefore you need to ensure that your decision is made on an informed basis and as a minimum you should be taking into consideration all the following disclosed below.
1. Trading is very speculative and risky. Contracts for Difference ('CFDs') are complex financial products, most of which have no set maturity date. Therefore, a CFD position matures on the date you choose to close an existing open position. CFDs, which are leveraged products, incur a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all of your invested capital. Trading in CFDs is highly speculative and therefore is suitable only for those Clients who (a) understand and are willing to assume the economic, legal and other risks involved, (b) are financially able to assume the risk of losses up to their invested capital and (c) understand and are knowledgeable about CFDs and the underlying assets. The Client represents, warrants and agrees that he/she understands these risks, is willing and able, financially and otherwise, to assume the risks of trading in CFDs. Before deciding to trade, a client should ensure that he understands the risks involved and take into account his level of experience, and if necessary seek independent advice. The Client is responsible for all the losses suffered in his account. Consequently, the Client should be prepared to lose all the invested capital.
2. Risks Associated with Transactions in CFDs When trading in CFDs you need to take into account the following main risks:
3. Conflicts of Interests. The Company is the counterparty to all transactions entered into under the Client Agreement and, as such, the Company's interests may be in conflict with the Client's. The Conflicts of Interest Policy is available at the Company's website.
4. Prices are set by the Company and may be different from prices reported elsewhere. The Company will provide the prices to be used in trading and valuation of the Client's positions in accordance with its Trading Policies and Procedures. As such, they may not directly correspond to real time market levels at the point in time at which the sale of options occurs.
5. Rights to Underlying Assets. The Client have no rights or obligations in respect of the underlying instruments or assets relating to the CFDs.
6. Telephone Orders and Immediate Execution. Market orders executed over the telephone through the Company's Dealing Room are completed when the Company's telephone operator says "deal" or "done" following the Client's placing of an order. Upon such confirmation of the telephone operator, the Client has bought or sold and cannot cancel the order. By placing orders through the Company's Dealing Room, the Client agrees to such immediate execution and accepts the risk of this immediate execution feature.
7. The Company is not an adviser or a fiduciary to customer. Where the Company provides generic market recommendations, such generic recommendations do not constitute a personal recommendation or investment advice and do not consider any of the Client's personal circumstances or investment objectives, nor is it an offer to trade, or the solicitation of an offer to trade, in any CFD. Each decision taken by the Client to trade in CFDs with the Company and each decision as to whether a transaction is appropriate or proper for the Client is an independent decision made by the Client. The Company is not acting as an advisor or serving as a fiduciary to the Client. The Client agrees that the Company has no fiduciary duty to the Client and no liability in connection with and is not responsible for any liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the Client following the Company's generic trading recommendations or taking or not taking any action based upon any generic recommendation or information provided by the Company.
8. Recommendations are not guaranteed. The generic market recommendations provided by the Company are based solely on the judgment of its personnel and should be considered as such. The Client acknowledges that it enters into any transactions relying on his/her own judgment. Any market recommendations provided are generic only and may or may not be consistent with the market positions or intentions of the Company and/or its affiliates. The generic market recommendations of the Company are based upon information believed to be reliable, but the Company cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness thereof or represent that following such generic recommendations will reduce or eliminate the risk inherent in trading CFDs.
9. No guarantees of profit. There are no guarantees of profit nor of avoiding losses when trading in CFDs. The Client has received no such guarantees from the Company or from any of its representatives. The Client is aware of the risks inherent in trading CFDs and is financially able to bear such risks and withstand any losses incurred.
a. Technical Risks
b. Market Conditions. The Client acknowledges that under Abnormal Market Conditions the Company may be unable to execute the Client's instructions and therefore the period during which the Instructions and Requests are executed may be extended.
d. Force Majeure Event. In case of a Force Majeure Event the Client shall accept the risk of any loss arising.
e. Taxes. The Client shall make sure that investing in CFDs is not subject to tax and/or any other duty in the Client's jurisdiction. The Client is responsible for any taxes and/or any other duty which may accrue in respect of his trades.
11. Costs, Swap Value and Other Considerations. Prior to investing in CFDs the Client needs to be aware of any costs involved, such as spread(s), commission(s) and swap(s). For the purposes of this Statement, a swap means the interest added or deducted for holding a position open overnight. The swap for a position opened on Wednesday and held open overnight is three times that of other days; the reason for this is that the value date of a trade held open overnight on a Wednesday would normally be Saturday, but since banks are closed, the value date is Monday and the client incurs an extra 2 (two) days of interest. From Friday to Monday swap is charged once.
12. Expiry System Errors. In case the expiry system fails for any reason, it will auto detect un-expired options and expire them in accordance to the rates stored historically in the archive. If any position did not expire on time, the system will issue a notification to Risk Manager and Compliance Officer, detailing all position information, in order to be resolved manually.

In reply to Codeine for depression?, posted by Delphine on June 12, 1998, at 18:28:05
In September researchers at Merck published results of preclinical studies of a novel drug (MK-869) that has robust antidepressant effects. Why is this important? The drug effects the same nerve pathways as codeine (and other opoids). Codeine mimics endorphins/enkephalins which in effect block the release or effect of a transmitter called substance P. MK-869 also antagonizes substance P. Indeed it was created as a pain/migraine med.
So it seems we need to be less closed minded to ideas such as antidepressant effects of Codeine.

"The first Noe Valley Branch building was built using a grant provided by Andrew Carnegie and featured a two-story building with a Spanish-style facade of brick and terra cotta. It was completed in 1916. In 2008 the branch was renovated and recognized with the Governor's Historic Preservation Award. The renovated Noe Valley Branch has also been hailed for its green features- lighting, low-water plants, and the use of recycled plastic materials. During the 1970s, Noe Valley residents built a deck and a community garden adjacent to the library. A nice place to relax and enjoy a book or just take a look around."

The Tappy Cards Kid is a minor/background character in the show Clarence. He was seen with Tappy cards in "Clarence's Millions".
He has blonde curly hair and round eyes. His torso is similar to Sumo's and Breehn's. He wears a light bluish-green shirt, some dark blue pants and red shoes.
Season 1
- "Clarence's Millions"
- "Honk"
- "The Forgotten"
- "Rough Riders Elementary"

The gallery for Tappy Cards Kid can be found here.
- In the credits of Clarence's Millions he is called Naked Kid. It's unknown why he is called that. It's possible that Stuart Allan (Tappy Card Kid's voice actor) was going to voice Blaide in the same episode but the audio was removed and Blaide briefly spoke Umm... (which was done by Skyler Page, who voiced Blaide in Dollar Hunt) at the end before the Tappy Cards Kid showed the other students the tappy cards.

'. . . we may safely pronounce that the House of Glass will exist in the annals of history, long after the vaunted pyramids of Egypt, of which the builders and the object are already alike unknown, shall have crumbled into dust.' Thus the 'Introduction' to Volume 1 of the three-volume second edition of Tallis's History and Description of the Crystal Palace, and the Exhibition of the World's Industry in 1851, published in 1854 as a history-cum-souvenir of that incredible event.
Tragically, though the pyramids are still here, and we know rather more about them and their builders now than in the 1850s, the Crystal Palace now survives only in the annals. It was moved from Hyde Park to Sydenham Hill in south London in 1854, and was burnt to the ground in 1936, in a conflagration which, it was reported, could be seen across eight counties.
It must have been amazing. Covering 18 acres (six times the area of St Paul's cathedral), it was 1851 feet long, needing 900,000 square feet of glass, hundreds of miles of cast iron tubing, columns and bearers, 205 miles of wooden window bars . . . One of the conditions of the design was that it enclosed the mature elm trees in that area of Hyde Park: asked his advice by Queen Victoria about dealing with the sparrows who came in through the open windows, perched in the trees, and threatened to soil the exhibits below, the Duke of Wellington is reputed to have said, 'Try sparrowhawks, Ma'am.'
Tallis's work (edited by J.G. Strutt, the husband of Elizabeth, author of A Spinster's Tour) gives a melodramatic account of the whole project from the concept (grudgingly conceded to have been French in origin – but we of course did it much better) to the opening day. There then follow a few pages on the practicalities – opening hours, ticket prices, rest and refreshment facilities – and then lively and highly opinionated descriptions of the wonders of the Exhibition, of which the 'Contents' page gives a small flavour: Amazon Attacked by a Tigress (a sculpture), British Machinery, Elaborate Corkscrew, Immense Sheet of Paper, Wonderful Achievement with a Penknife . . . The third volume ends with a description of the Palace's new home in Sydenham, surrounded by landscaped gardens populated by painted stone dinosaurs, and of its official opening.
Tallis's work is illustrated, and the text exuberant to a remarkable degree. A more sober, two-volume work, Hunt's Hand-Book to the Official Catalogues of the Great Exhibition, was published in 1851, and intended as 'An Explanatory Guide to the Natural Productions and Manufactures of the Great Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations, 1851'. It has no pictures except for plans of the ground floor and the galleries (taken from the Official Catalogue), but the description of the exhibits is serious, factual, and comprehensive, as befits the 'Keeper of Mining Records, author of Researches on Light, The Poetry of Science, Synopsis, &c. &c.' Robert Hunt (born into poverty in Cornwall, became a chemist with the help of (among others) Elizabeth Fry, married a member of the Davy family, and eventually thrived as a pioneer photographer, statistician of mining and minor poet) and his learned co-authors were especially interested in the technological items exhibited – the new industrial machinery, and the raw materials for industry. They explain the processes underlying the creation of objects in stone, metal and ceramics, from fine jewelry to steam locomotives and Robert Stevenson's Bell Rock lighthouse, of which a model was displayed.
Finally – though first in chronological terms – we have just reissued The Official Catalogue of the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations 1851, in its fourth 'corrected and improved' edition of 15 September 1851. The Exhibition had been opened on 1 May (the birthday of both the Duke of Wellington and his godson Prince Arthur, at that time Queen Victoria's youngest child) and by the time it closed on 11 October, over 6 million visits had been made (the number of visitors is more difficult to determine, as season tickets were available and enthusiastically made use of).
The Official Catalogue lists all the items on show with their origin and location. In 'The Catalogue's Account of Itself', included at the end of the book, Charles Dickens describes with great and characteristic verve the complex compilation process involved. The first print run of the English version, completed just hours before the Exhibition opened, was 250,000 copies, and the type remained – all 60,000 lb. of it – 'set up for constant use and correction'. And after the last official pages is a fascinating addition – the 'Advertiser', fourteen pages of adverts for everything from the Norwich Union insurance company to Colman's mustard, Welsh flannel and vinaigre de Bordeaux, supplied by W. & S. Kent and Sons, Upton-upon-Severn, Worcestershire.
Wouldn't it have been wonderful to see it all, from the chiming skeleton clock to the 'Great Diamond of Runjit Singh, called "Koh-i-Noor", or Mountain of Light' (exhibited by Her Majesty the Queen), to the 'elaborate articles in the newly-revived work called tatting or friviolité … the work of poor Irish children, under the tuition of the benevolent Miss Sophee Ellis, of Kilmedoc, Ardee', to the 'very amusing and interesting' stuffed animals in anthropomorphic poses from the Zollverein (i.e. bits of Germany) – and of course the sparrowhawks?

I don't know why people were expecting Donald Trump to be forced, in shame, to resign his office after Stormy Daniels put his business in the street on a recent episode of 60 Minutes.Granted, Trump wasn't the president back in the mid to late '00s, when he had a series of sexual encounters with the pr0n star. But he was the CEO of the Trump Organization, which must have been a difficult job, if the fact that he went bankrupt on multiple occasions is any indication. He had a lot on his mind, and he needed "a release." Melania was incapacitated, having recently given birth to their son Barron a/k/a The Expert.Barron was probably an especially long baby (nullus), given that he's already like 6' tall as a 12-year-old boy, and there's only so much those dissolving stitches can do. Melania's vagine probably hasn't been right ever since. Alas, there was no way she could deliver Barron via c-section, because obviously a guy who's worth like a billion dollars is not going to want a wife with a scar across her midsection like some gross East Saint stripper.Even if it were a situation where her life was in danger, he'd had to insist on her popping that bad boy out through the front entrance, so to speak. As they say in her native Russia, If she dies, she dies.It's too bad Trump didn't have a baby girl with Melania. That child would have grown up to be smokin' hot. Trump's male children all look kinda retarded (in the clinical sense of the term, mind you). Don Jr. and Eric look like a real-life Beavis and Butthead, while Barron already kinda has that glassy-eyed school shooter thing going on. Ivanka, meanwhile, is so hot that you can't even be that upset with her—even at the ripe old age of 36.But I digress.In the days leading up to the airing of Anderson Cooper's interview with Stormy Daniels, this past Sunday, Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti (who's actually from my "hood"; hence, presumably, the strength of his troll game) posted, on Twitter, a pic of what appeared to be a CD-ROM, like one you might have used to listen to an illegally obtained copy of Freddie Foxxx's ever-prescient Industry Shakedown. I was intrigued, but not so intrigued that I was about to watch 60 Minutes.I was hoping the CD-ROM would contain grainy 480p video of the president getting spanked with an issue of Forbes with his own face on the cover, motorboating Stormy Daniels' huge fake cans, calling her "Ivanka" and what have you, but I knew better than to think they could show that on 60 Minutes. Old people watch 60 Minutes! It comes on at 4:30 in the afternoon, i.e. right before bed time. You saw how many problems CBS had with that stunt Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake pulled at the Super Bowl back in '04.In retrospect, the dead giveaway that this wasn't going to be much of an interview was the fact that it was conducted by Anderson Cooper. Do the people who run CBS not know he's gay? Not that gay people shouldn't be allowed to be journalists (they're great at sniffing out rumors), but you'd think that a straight guy, drawing from his imagination, would have more insight into what a sexual encounter with a pr0n chick would be like. Is that older black guy with the earring still alive? He was arguably the GOAT—with all due respect to Andy Rooney.On the other hand, it probably would have been more difficult for a straight guy to sit across from her and not forget where he was and what he was supposed to be doing. I'd say that Stormy Daniels has held up reasonably well for a girl her age, i.e. more or less the same age as me. (Eww!) She's actually here in the STL next weekend feature dancing. I'd consider going, for the sake of journalism, but pr0n chick feature dancers are always kind of a disappointment. If I'm spending that kind of money, I'm trying to walk out of there with my pants stuck to my leg.Take it easy on yourself,Bol Did you enjoy this issue?

Ten Things That Have Changed Since I Moved to New Hampshire
1) I eat better food! Actually, I eat veggies! I think it is because I cook more roasted root veggies and other veggies fixed in the oven. It was always too hot in Florida to use the oven all the time.
2) I do not go to Fast food restaurants. No Wendys, McDonalds, Taco Bell, or Kentucky Fried Chicken! I prefer to spend that $5.00 at a local restaurant.
3) Am learning to appreciate our country's history – because so much of it is around me. Cities that are rich in history are close enough that one can drive to them – or get there by bus or train.
4) I enjoy the seasons! We only had hot and hotter-than-hell in Tampa! So, it is wonderful to experience Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter!
5) I use wool and other natural fibers to knit with. When I took up knitting in Florida when I was in my 20s – all we had were synthetic yarns.
6) I buy local more often…mainly because I don't live near malls, and have never been a big mall shopper, and am not a big internet shopper…so, I shop with local vendors and farmers markets (which we didn't have any of in Tampa)
7) On the downside – I got asthma. I did not have asthma in Florida – but, I developed it here. But, I am learning to control it and live with it.
7a) and I am single again.
8) I use my library more – I have always used the library to check out books – but, here I do a lot more than just check out books! I attend lectures and workshops as well as rent movies and books.
9) I use the interstate. You would never have caught me on the interstate in Tampa. It was awful! Too crowded! Now I think nothing of jumping on I-91 or I-89 and heading off. I drive around the New England States that are close to me – New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Maine because they are easy to get to. When I lived in Florida – it would take me seven hours to just get to the Florida/Georgia border!
10) I've learned to appreciate a simpler life – one where there is lots of land and farm animals to see; places to pick one's own fruit (blueberries and apples come to mind); and lots of paths and roads to explore.

Cory and Yolanda Parker
Perfected Worship Centre
Virtuous Ministries, Inc.
White Plains, MD
Cory and Yolanda have been anointed to prophetically sing, play, preach and teach the Word of God.
In September 2015, Perfected Worship Centre was planted in White Plains, MD. It is a multi-cultural, non-denominational house where JESUS is the CENTRE of it all. God has put a mandate on Cory and Yolanda to, "usher in the prophetic voice to the region of Southern Maryland in concert with other ministries that are assigned to carry the mantle of prophetic intercession in the region". The defining characteristic of Perfected Worship Centre is the manifested Presence of God in every worship service. It is an atmosphere where "the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud", according to 2 Chronicles 5:13-14.
God gave Yolanda the vision for Virtuous Ministries in January 2009, but, when He blessed her with Cory in November 2012, there was immediate increase and expansion of the ministry to include: seminars for spiritual and emotional healing, extensive training in deliverance, equipping/operating in the five-fold ascension gifts and prophetic worship and intercession. Cory is an ordained Elder in the Lord's Church. Yolanda is an ordained Pastor and Prophet in the Lord's Church.
With a tender heart for souls, Cory, an anointed minstrel and Psalmist, effortlessly shifts the atmosphere with the Wind of the Spirit of God. The melody that plays in Heaven is brought to the earth through his ministry on the keyboard. The Sound breaks chains and makes way for healing and deliverance to occur. Yolanda, a powerful intercessor/midwife, is an anointed Psalmist who ministers the mind and heart of God to His people through the prophetic Song of the Lord. She is a demon-busting, fire walker that is appointed for the End Times to bring the Bride into alignment with Her purpose.
Cory and Yolanda travel throughout the country teaching the Word of God and training worship teams to navigate the Heavens through prophetic songs birthed from prayer and intercession. Together, they minister in song ushering in the presence of God through prophetic praise and worship.

LSU police arrest man tied to on-campus robbery
BATON ROUGE - LSUPD has arrested a man connected to a robbery on the university's campus.
According to an LSU spokesperson, the crime happened before 10 p.m. April 28.
Authorities say a student was walking down Forestry Lane when he was approached from behind by two males. He told police the two then pushed him to the ground and took his watch, phone and wallet.
The victim says the robbers then attempted to use his debit card at an ATM. The ATM is where investigators were later able to retrieve footage of the suspected robber.
Campus police released photos of a potential suspect on June 11th showing that individual at an ATM just outside campus.
With the help of tips, police were able to identify the suspect to be Cameron Colemon.
Colemon was arrested and booked in simple robbery and access to device fraud.

Dreaming of Malaysian Borneo
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Belaga, Borneo, Bugs, Gap Year, Insects, List, Malaysia, Mosquito, Photos, Rainforest, RTW, Scuba diving, SE Asia, Slow travel, Snorkelling, Travel, Trekking on April 25, 2011| 4 Comments »
For once I can't complain about the English weather- yesterday it was hotter than the Sahara. While I was attempting to revise for a Media Law exam (read: using textbook as a pillow) in my sun-drenched back garden I found myself thinking of Asia (you'll soon learn this is a fairly regular occurrence) and thought it was time for a trip down memory lane.
As I'm enjoying a four day weekend, here are my top 4 of where and why you should make for Malaysian Borneo:
1. Get wet diving Sipadan
Sipadan is synonymous with world-class diving. When visited by Cousteau in the seventies while on board the Calypso the legendary diver and his team spent six months exploring its amazing underwater walls and fabulous reefs. Your mask will be obscured by the shoals of glittering fish as turtles with moss encrusted shells skull by and eye you nonchalantly.
Beautiful white sand beaches too.
2. Travel by longboat to Belaga
Watching the world go by while lazing in a longboat as your pass villages and wildlife drinking at the water's edge has to be one of the best ways to do slow travel. Getting to Belaga is a bit of a mission which requires several changes along the way but a simple charming town that's well worth the effort to visit.
3. Rainforest treks
Get off the beaten track by arranging a trek into the wilderness from the small town of Belaga. Walk over slippery trails past waterfalls and stay out overnight in the forest accompanied by those friendly locals which the guidebooks always talk about. In Belaga's case this is entirely representative – so many smiles.
4. Crazy bugs
This might put some people off but I love the fact that there are all manner of weird and colourful bugs to be found in Borneo. These ones were taken in Gunung Mulu National Park home of great trekking and plenty of mosquitoes. Bring plenty of insect repellant!

The best kept secret in local politics can now be made public for the first time: Cairns councillor Linda Cooper will run for the Liberal National Party in the seat of Barron River at the state election next year.
Cr Cooper - the popular Cairns Regional Council Division 6 councillor - was preselected by branch members in a vote tonight, with the party quietly confident it can steal the swing seat of Barron River from Labor's sitting MP Craig Crawford.
Mr Crawford - who has spent significant time away from his electorate this term due to his ministerial responsibilities - holds the seat with a slim margin of less than 2%.
Tropic Now understands polling already conducted in the Cairns region suggests the LNP could win Barron River, with the party expected to throw significant resources behind Cr Cooper's campaign in the lead-up to the state election on 31 October 2020.
Cr Cooper was first elected in Division 6 in 2008 - an area encompassing Redlynch, Brinsmead, Kamerunga, Freshwater and Stratford - all key suburbs in the seat of Barron River.
But she will not recontest the division at the local government elections in March, giving her 7 months to campaign full-time in Barron River.

Fat Controller will play host to one of Australia's favourite upcoming producers, Basenji, tonight! His latest release, 'Mistakes', which features Adelaide's own Tkay Maidza, has had a massive response, and he's taking it on the road. Basenji's Mistakes Tour, will be filled not only with the songs you already know, but will be complimented with a few surprise tracks, and intense visual effects to boot. Following his huge festival season, and a number of new releases, make no mistake there is no stopping this rising producer yet! We had a chat with Sebastian before his show tonight.
Let's talk about your latest release, 'Mistakes', it's had an absolutely massive response. What was the production process like?
It started as an instrumental I played when I had a gap in my shows. Then I started working on it and I always considered it as an instrumental, but then my manager was like, "hey is there a singer that you would like to work with?" And I was like, "actually, I think Tkay would be a good fit." And I mean after not too long, Tkay actually sent me a recording off her phone of just some vocal ideas, and after that, I came to Adelaide and we recorded a few tracks. It took a long time, but at the same time it felt like it happened so quickly because we were so industrious with it.
What's the inspiration behind 'Mistakes'?
Lyrically, I guess you'd have to talk to Tkay about that. But, for me, it was just a vision I had for a song in my set and then I kind of just made it. I don't even know the words to describe, it was more of a feeling.
Yeah, and I bet the ideas just keep developing even more when you start working together with the artist…
Oh yeah, totally. Tkay is such a great person to work with, she made everything super easy. Like I said, the song felt like it happened really quickly, really naturally and everything just came together. She was the perfect fit for the track.
How do you pick the artists you want to work with?
I guess with this song in particular, it felt right for Tkay. She was an artist I always wanted to work with, and as far as Australian artists goes for me, at the top of my list. That being said, there are a lot of songs that I've made before that I didn't think were Tkay kind of songs. So when I wrote this one, I was like, actually, I think this one is like a match and I'd really like to organise some time with her to work on these ideas. Luckily, that's what happened.
Do you think your sound has changed and developed since your first song released as Basenji?
Absolutely. I try not to make the same song twice. I think there are a lot of similarities across my music, but on each song, personally, I think I am trying something new. I value consistency, but I don't want to be one of those artists who makes the same song every week. I don't want people to know what I'm doing next.
How would you describe your sound?
I'm not really sure how to describe it, because a lot of people put their own words on my music to try and describe it. I guess I would say it's electronic, but I try to use some kind of natural sounds when I make it. I don't want to isolate anyone by my music being overly electronic or digital sounding. To describe my music is really hard, I think often music just speaks for itself. I think it's a good thing if you can't put music into words. Music is supposed to be there to fill the gap that words cant sometimes. For me, as someone who makes the instrumentals and doesn't sing on the songs, to me it's kind of an alternate mode of communication. Something outside of language or spoken communication.
Yeah, I completely agree. I think it's amazing how music can have a different impression on every single person, and be interpreted differently…
Exactly. Even if you yourself listen to the same song 10 years apart, you're not really the same person anymore. The song kind of means something different again. As humans, we never really get bored of certain songs either, there are some songs that our whole lives, we constantly re-live. I think that's why we find music so endearing,
What's a song that's always stayed with you?
There's a lot, I guess Kylie Minogue – On a Night Like This.
Great choice!
Now, you've been super busy the last few months, touring while releasing new music. How do you do it?
I get lots of sleep and drink lots of water!
You did a whole lot of festivals over the summer, what was it like being part of those?
The Laneway festival tour in particular is really fun, and it's a tour I've wanted to do for a long time. I think I would have gone to Laneway for the first time when I was 18, and since then I've always wanted to do it. It was kind of like a bucket list thing. After Falls Festival, Laneway was a little bit different because I was playing kind of a Bloc Party atmosphere stage, I could have a bit more fun with it, play different tracks and experiment a bit. It was more of a party atmosphere. A highlight was in Brisbane, getting to DJ with UV Boi, who is an old friend of mine.
And you're in Adelaide Friday night! What can audiences expect from your live set?
Well, I'm actually touring with a visual director, and there are some kind of intense visual aspects to the show which compliment the music. Then, what I'm doing is performing my own songs, a lot of those which people know already. Then quite a lot of remixes and edits I've worked on, of quite a lot of other people's songs. Like even this morning, I woke up early to work on a new remix. I want to have that balance of, "Oh cool, I will get to hear that song I like, but then also this is a surprise, I didn't expect to hear a remix of that song." I want it to feel new as well.
You can catch Basenji at Fat Controller tonight. doors at 9pm. Get your tickets here.

So I planned on posting this a month ago, but between Christmas and Skyrim, my time simply disappeared. I did manage another chapter of Brigid and the Goblin, which I had started long ago for my cousin. Take a gander at it in the Stories section above. In the meantime, enjoy this totally honest account of the Holidays in the Murphey house . . . .
"So you've got a Christmas Carol . . . um, Scrooge (the Albert Finney one) . . ."
I scan through the rest of the videos on the bookshelf; my brothers shout from the hallway and suddenly the whole house shudders. Four large teenage boys thunder into the room, shaking the room and tumbling several dusty picture frames. Continue reading

This was hand 3 of the CommonGame June 1, 2017 afternoon. The club suit lends itself to some interesting observations. First, expert defense is for both East and West to duck the eventual club lead. This restricts declarer to two tricks in the suit. With any other play, declarer can bring home the suit for 5 winners. Now consider this: what if declarer has Kxx? If his intent is to take 5 club tricks, he must be prepared to finesse at trick two. Well then it must be right to finesse at trick 1! Finessing at trick 1 will of course lose to singleton queen, but it will virtually always win against an expert West holding Qx, at 3-1 odds.

frightened flower in the dark,
silent, cold, and trembling,
feeling every bite and bark,
each angry word, dissembling.
the glare of disapproval, shame,
searing unprotected skin,
a creature formed of guilt and pain,
that burns and burrows deep within.
fragile flower, tender child,
know the world is bright, and wide,
come out, come out, to gardens, wild,
and taste the sunlight deep inside!

Now that summer is upon us so many are enjoying outdoor gatherings and cranking up the grill. Of course you've got your usual menu of all the grilled meats and often times veggies too. However, have you ever grilled your dessert? There are so many fruits that are great on the grill. Grill peaches and top with low fat yogurt or ice cream. Grill pineapple rings and top with balsamic glaze. The options are endless.
I thought since talking about the traditional summertime grilling parties, I give us a slightly different take on a traditional dessert that we've all enjoyed since childhood.
Here's my take on deconstructing the usual banana split and keeping it healthy.
**If you don't want to grill them another option is to skip step 4 and place all in the freezer for a completely different sweet summer treat.

No prizes for guessing which part is the Rite of Spring sample – it's the first minute or so of the song, and runs through most of the rest of it, too. Once it gets going, Anxiety Attack is a superb disco rock track and one of Foetus's most underrated. It's a very catchy song with good use of those samples – the way it loops particularly makes clear which part the Jaws theme ripped off.
Yes, I know I blog about Foetus more than any other artist, but they're also the most-read posts so I'm guessing you're in agreement here: these are great songs. Anxiety Attack was originally an unreleased Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel song that was eventually featured on 1989's compilation SINK. I can see why it wasn't used, since it doesn't really fit in with HOLE or NAIL – it's got the raw groove of Finely Honed Machine, but the ear-friendly cohesion of Butterfly Potion, and his voice also echoes the latter with its whiskey-and-cigarettes gravelly drawl.
It's what I used to think of as "industrial" – the precursor to Psalm 69-era Ministry and those other Wax Trax bands. Most of all, it's manically, maddeningly funky. I'd have loved to have danced to this, back in the day. Who knows? Maybe I did.

From gourmet burgers to continental cuisine, we've witnessed a street food boom in recent years. This new wave of on-the-go diners and food festival fanatics is opening up a potentially lucrative mobile catering market. Here are catering equipment supplier Nisbets' top tips for setting up a kitchen in a mobile catering operation.
Decide what type of food you'll be offering
Before you can start setting up your kitchen, you'll need to decide what kind of food you'll be offering. If you're already an established food retailer, this may be an easier decision to make, as you may choose to simply offer a sample of your regular menu. You can only start setting up your kitchen once you decide on the kind of food you'll be preparing. Failing to do so could result in you using up valuable space in your mobile unit with equipment that will largely go unused.
Space versus demand
When you've decided on your menu, you can create a list of all of the equipment you'll need. However, before you invest, you'll need to consider the available space in your mobile unit. Typically, mobile catering units offer limited space. The solution? Smaller equipment. While shrinking the size of your essential items like fryers and griddles may help you fit more into the unit, cooking capacity is reduced. This could be problematic, especially during busy periods where demand is high. After all, long queues and slow service usually results in lost custom.
Likewise, full-size equipment can take up a lot of room and make carrying out tasks difficult due to a lack of workable space. They can also use up a lot of energy, which can be problematic depending on the type of gas or electricity supply you have. Work out which pieces of equipment you'll need to use most frequently and invest accordingly. You also need to consider air flow to ensure anyone working is kept safe from smoke and fumes. Extraction maybe required depending on your menu.
Gas, water and electricity
As we've already mentioned, you'll need to work out how to power your kitchen equipment. There are two main options: gas and electricity. Gas bottles are a popular choice, as they are more convenient than a fixed mains supply, which may not be available in every location you set up in. If you do plan on using this method, make sure you have enough bottles to see you through the duration of your trading period and always have gas-powered equipment professionally installed. Electricity is another essential.
It's often more convenient to have your own generator rather than rely on the supply where you pitch. This means you'll always have enough power to supply your equipment. Of course, to ensure the safe preparation of food, you'll need a source of fresh water. This is an important factor to consider and shouldn't be ignored.

A North Carolina police chief said he was forced to retire after he described the Black Lives Matter movement as "an American-born terrorist group" in a post on his personal Facebook page this month.
The town council in coastal Surf City approved Police Chief Mike Halstead's retirement during an emergency meeting on Tuesday, the Star News reported.
In a 662-word "open letter from a police chief" on Sept. 3, Halstead wrote that "this Black Lives Matter group is nothing more than an American-born terrorist group brought on by the lie of the hands up, don't shoot during the criminal thug Michael Brown incident."
The Black Lives Matter movement gained fresh momentum last year after the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. The officer was not charged.
Brown's death and the killings of a number of other unarmed black men by white police officers have sparked widespread and sometimes violent protests against racial discrimination and law enforcement's use of force.
Halstead placed blame for the recent killings of police officers across the country on the media's coverage of police shootings of civilians.
He said in the post, which has been taken down, that he judged people by their actions, not their skin color.
In a Facebook post after Tuesday's meeting, the 35-year law- enforcement veteran said he was forced to retire or be fired.
"I was thrown under the bus for expressing my 1st amendment rights and speaking the truth and concerns for law enforcement," Halstead wrote, adding he apologized to anyone he might have offended.

Students at East Jackson Comprehensive High School will join their Jackson County Comprehensive High School counterparts in the "Amazon Future Engineer" program in the coming school year.
Amazon is promoting the initiative as a way to make computer science available to all students.
The four-part, childhood-to-career program works to inspire and educate 10 million children and young adults each year to pursue careers in the fast-growing field of computer science and coding.
The program focuses on access for all, according to its organizers. JCCHS received the grant funding last year; EJCHS will be part of the 2019-20 funding.
The two schools will join approximately 1,000 high schools across the country funded to offer an Intro to Computer Science course and Advanced Placement classes in computer science and computer science principles through curriculum provider Edhesive.
Amazon's support provides preparatory lessons, tutorials, and professional development for teachers, fully-sequenced and -paced digital curriculum for students, and live online support every day of the week for both teachers and students, according to Todd Shultz, who directs JCSS's career, technical, and agriculture education programs.
Shultz said these full-year courses are designed to inspire, prepare, and propel students in their pursuit of computer science education.
All students participating in the program will receive a free membership to AWS Educate, which provides them with free access to computing power in the AWS Cloud for their coding projects and content to learn about cloud computing.
"We couldn't have taught this course at JCCHS last year without the support of Amazon," Shultz said. "We are thrilled to be able to extend it for another year and give our EJCHS students this opportunity as they prepare to apply to college and build the skills for a rewarding career in technology and innovation."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by 2020 there will be 1.4 million computer-science-related jobs available and only 400,000 computer science graduates with the skills to apply for those jobs.
According to information from Amazon, computer science is the fastest growing profession within the science, technology, engineering and math field, but only 8 percent of STEM graduates earn a computer science degree, with a tiny minority from underprivileged backgrounds.
In addition, underprivileged students are 8 to 10 times more likely to pursue college degrees in computer science if they have taken AP computer science in high school, according to Amazon's data.
"We want to ensure that every child, especially those from underprivileged communities, has an opportunity to study computer science," said Jeff Wilke, CEO Worldwide Consumer, Amazon.
"We are excited more than 1,000 schools will now provide these courses, and look forward to adding 1,000 more schools over the coming months."
