Some guests in London love to have room service and others like to take care of themselves just like at home. For the later, there are self-catering apartments in London, living spaces that have all the functions of home so guests can cook for themselves and take care of their trip all on their own, or in groups.
But why should guests choose self-catering living spaces when they could go with room service or endless nights out at restaurants? Well, simply put, they're cheaper to stay in. All the money that can be saved from extortionate room service and lavish restaurants can be saved, put towards other things, or applied to the food bill for the fully equipped kitchen. If there's one thing that guests want to save on trips to London, it's money. Thankfully, London's self-catering apartments do exactly that.
Some of the main amenities that can be found in a self-catering apartment include such delights like a fully equipped kitchen, flat screen TV, free Wi-Fi, cosy living areas and more. The fully equipped kitchens give London's self-catering apartments their name as they involve the guest cooking in their own space and to dominate the kitchen like the masterchef they truly are.
However, location plays a pivotal part in the selection of a self-catering apartment in London. Guests want to feel safe no matter where they are. Whether they can cook for themselves or not is irrelevant until the location and neighbourhood are all fixed. With London itself being so vast and huge, it can be hard for guests to know where's best to stay. For the best self-catering apartments though, Shoreditch, Kensington, Angel, Heathrow and Fitzrovia deliver the serviced apartments that guests require.

displayObject.getBounds is not a function when using .overlapI have a two player mini game, with all the main logic happening in this: function SpriteDoObj(player){ // global function this.player = player; this.atk = function(opponent) { this.opponent = opponent; if (this.player.overlap(opponent)) { //call miss sound here console.log("miss"); return; } else if (this.isSameAtkPosition(opponent)) { //call block sound console.log("block"); return; } else { console.log("hit!"); //call damage sound opponent.health --; } }; } //has been simplified And I make two instances of SpriteDoObj with: this.blueSpriteDo = new SpriteDoObj(blue_player); this.redSpriteDo = new SpriteDoObj(red_player); //.. also the players are made like this: this.players = this.game.add.physicsGroup(); var red_player = this.players.create(window.innerWidth, this.world.height - 490, 'red_spritesheet'); var blue_player = this.players.create(0, this.world.height - 490, 'blue_spritesheet'); And the atk function is called like this: if (blue_keyMap.atk.isDown) { this.blueSpriteDo.atk(this.redSpriteDo); //the parameter for the atk function //passes the opposite player, that becomes the opponent } The error is phaser.js:47751 Uncaught TypeError: displayObject.getBounds is not a function And I'm not sure why this is happening, mayhaps something to do with how I'm passing the objects around, but it looks good to me - though I'm a noob. Any Ideas?
Referencing a sprite in a groupI never knew this was a thing, and it works! Thank you!
Referencing a sprite in a groupI have a player in a group like this: this.players = this.game.add.physicsGroup(); blue_player = this.players.create(0, this.world.height - 490, 'blue_player'); this.players.setAll('body.bounce.y', 0.2); this.players.setAll('body.gravity.y', 1000); this.players.setAll('collideWorldBounds', true); blue_player.animations.add('idle',[0,1,2],2.1,true); this.players.callAll('animations.play', 'animations', 'idle'); And I add a function to my game prototype that is called by my update function: blue_controls: function () { if (blue_keyMap.jump.isDown) { console.log("blue is going up in the world"); this.players.blue_player.body.velocity.y = 2000; } }, And get: TypeError: Cannot read property 'body' of undefined The error is with this line: this.players.blue_player.body.velocity.y = 2000; I have tried just this.blue_player.body.velocity but get blue_player undefined, and others. I've ran out of things to try that I can think of. I know I'm not referencing the object correctly, but I'm currently putting in the milage to learn object Inheritance and prototypes - and using this game I'm making as practice. I'm just a little stuck, help a noob out?

Thank you both for your time! Works fine now, I've learnt a lot from this, thanks again
Draxy reacted to a post in a topic: Adding attributes to groups correctly
Thanks for your reply @samid737, you helped me out a lot! But now the physics seem broke, am I referencing the players right? My code now: myGame.Game.prototype.create = function () { this.players = this.game.add.physicsGroup(); var red_player = this.players.create(900, this.world.height - 490, 'red_player'); var blue_player = this.players.create(0, this.world.height - 490, 'blue_player'); this.players.setAll('enableBody', true); //added this and the line below to see if I could get them to fall this.players.physicsBodyType = Phaser.Physics.ARCADE; this.players.setAll('body.bounce', 0.2); this.players.setAll('body.gravity', 1000); this.players.setAll('collideWorldBounds', true); blue_player.animations.add('idle',[0,1,2],2,true); red_player.animations.add('idle',[0,1,2],2,true); this.players.callAll('animations.play', 'animations', 'idle'); };
Adding attributes to groups correctlyI want to make a group called players and then assign things to it like this.players.body.gravity.y = 1000;, etc then make a red and blue player from that group that are identical but for the spreadsheets used, so i don't have to set gravity and other things of the sort twice for each. Are groups the best way to do this? I've tried with this code, but get "TypeError: Cannot read property 'bounce' of undefined" as an error myGame.Game.prototype.create = function () { console.log("create is working"); this.platforms = this.add.physicsGroup(); this.platforms.enableBody = true; this.platforms.setAll('body.immovable', true); var ground = this.platforms.create(0, this.world.height - 64, 'ground'); ground.scale.setTo(2, 2); ground.visible = false; var background = this.add.sprite(0, 0, 'background'); background.animations.add("background", [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], 10, true); background.animations.play("background"); background.width = this.game.width; background.height = this.game.height; this.world.sendToBack(background); //used this to place background behind platforms this.players = this.game.add.group(); //make player group this.players.body.bounce.y = 0.2; //give play group things so that red_player and blue_player this.players.body.gravity.y = 1000;//will have them this.players.body.collideWorldBounds = true; this.players.blue_player.animations.add('idle', [0, 1, 2], 2, true); this.players.animations.play('idle'); var red_player = this.players.create(10000, this.world.height - 490, 'red_player'); var blue_player = this.players.create(0, this.world.height - 490, 'blue_player'); this.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.SPACEBAR).onDown.add(this.blue_jump, this); }; My knowledge of objects is terrible, but I can see any problems with what I've done, can anyone help me out? Thanks for reading.
Calling update function in separate JS fileNoob here, I'm trying to get an update function to call inside a separate JS file. I have a basic phaser structure in load.js: var myGame = {}; myGame.load = function (game) { }; myGame.load.prototype = { preload: function() { //.. }, create: function(){ //... } }; myGame.update = function(game) { }; myGame.load.prototype = { update: update }; And the update function I'm trying to add and call in update.js update = function() { game.physics.arcade.collide(blue_player, platforms); console.log("update is working"); }; load.js is loaded before update.js in my HTML Thanks a lot for reading
ncil reacted to a post in a topic: How to correctly create ground?
Thanks for the reply! I did fix this with game.world.sendToBack(background); to place the background behind the ground, that was the main problem. Thanks for your time!
I've updated it to show all my code, could you please take another look? I'd really appreciate it.

This is the Tranquil Moments die set from Spellbinders and it is a very pretty die
The link takes you to the Spellbinders page so that you can see what the die looks like but the price is in dollars so shop around and you may find it cheaper.
Here I have added it to a larger A4 card folded in half and hinged at the top.
The die itself is one of the A2 Card Creator Collections and so makes a good sized card if used alone.
The ribbon is from Mei Flower and the centre of the bow is covered with a little pearl and diamanté flower from Wild Orchid Crafts
The sentiment is one of five on a stamp sheet from Lili of the Valley and they are verses I am often asked about. Clicking the colored words will take you to their websites

This intriguing Netflix exclusive dystopian sci-fi film stars Clive Owen and Amanda Seyfried and is directed by Andrew Niccol.
Policing has become easy in a world where everyone's lives are logged and recorded, with the lack of privacy having eradicated crime altogether.
Things change however when a girl (Amanda Seyfried) that's completely off the grid appears, disrupting the status quo.
A disruption that could potentially re-introduce crime back into society.
It's a unique premise that borrows from several sci-fi sub-genres, and one that's not too far from even becoming a reality one day.
With social media and tech companies already tracking our every move, and governments having more access than ever to people's lives, the scenario in Anon seems like the logical next step.
A world without crime sounds like a good thing, but at what cost?
This is the theme Anon will attempt to tackle when it releases exclusively on Netflix on 4 May 2018.
The film is directed by Andrew Niccol, who's past films include the cult sci-fi classic Gattaca (1997), Lord of War (2005) and more recently, the fantastic Ethan Hake starring film Good Kill (2014).
The film is another step in the right direction for Netflix, as they continue to secure some big stars to front their original productions.
The recent film Annihilation (2018) was a perfect example of the excellent quality Netflix can produce, so let's hope they can keep the trend up with Anon.
Check out the trailer below.

Apart from computer and cell phone, the printer has become another popular item for students. Although most colleges offer printing service, some of the students still want to bring their own printers to their dormitories because they think printing will become easier and more convenient for them if printers are so easy to approach, especially when they need to print tons of research papers for proofreading or for handing in them to the professors. One of the most popular ways for students to buy printers is absolutely buying them online. But there are hundreds of thousand printers on the Internet, what should the students do to choose the most suitable printer for them?
The first thing the students should think about is to buy laser printers or inkjet printers. Most students need to print black-and-white copies and laser printers may be the better choice for them. Then the students should consider the size of the printers. Generally speaking, student dormitory does not offer a very large space and thus the printers for students should be small in size. Another important thing for students to concern about is the price. The student should be encouraged to be frugal so the prices of their printers are not supposed to be high.
Pantum P2500W Monochrome Wireless Laser Printer is the perfect choice for students. It just needs one step to install and offer Wi-Fi connectivity and its memory is up to 128MB. This laser printer can print in a high speed with 23 pages in one minute which can help the students to print the materials they need in no time. Its compact size and sleek design can perfectly save the space of the dormitory and enable a better environment for the students to study. Pantum P2500W has one amazing function, that is to be connected with mobile which enable the students to print the photos and documents from their cell phones.
September is approaching and it is time for students to prepare the items for a new semester. Pantum P2500W can be bought on 123ink.ca and it just costs $114.99. If you use the coupon, you can even enjoy the incredible price of $39.99. The toner cartridge for this printer – Pantum PB-210 OEM Black toner cartridge is also available on the same website. We offer free shipping on all orders above $49.99. If you are interested in our products, please do not be hesitate to scan our website.

For my first project in Design Week, I chose to animate the comic book cover of Jack Kirby's draft of The Prisoner. It is a Design Assignment (number 306) and worth an unbelievable four credit units.
My main method was to create duplicate layers, erase the text in the speech bubble, and add text. I also selected the head with the free select tool, flipped it, and anchored it back. I touched up a little bit with the pencil to close gaps created by rotating.
If I were to do it over (and I might), I would just have a background layer, with the speech cloud blank, and a right-facing head. Then I could use smaller layers for the wording and the flipped head. This would save file size.
Also, if this were to be a draft of a real cover, color would need to be added.

Britain celebrates the 400th anniversary of its greatest playwright William Shakespeare with a year-long series of events. We pick the best highlights.
Visit the London's open-air Globe Theatre and see some of the Bard's best-loved plays
You simply can't escape that man William Shakespeare this year.
2016 is the 400th anniversary of the death of our greatest playwright and Britain will be celebrating big time with a year-long series of festivities and events. From the BBC to the RSC, our major cultural institutions to our regional theatres, it seems everyone is in on the act to mark the Bard's legacy.
But with so many events and activities to choose from, what do you go and see? We pick out the best highlights from this year's celebrations.
What place better to start than when it all began? Where else but Shakespeare's birthplace – Stratford-upon-Avon. For visitors, this year is a truly unique and perfect time to visit Stratford as this Warwickshire town will be making the most of honouring its most famous son.
For starters, his family home New Place will be transformed and re-imagined for a 21st -century audience and is due to open this April. Also opening the same month is his schoolroom. Shakespeare's Schoolroom and Guildhall will allow you to see where he was educated and inspired, and to learn the extraordinary history of the building and civic history of the town.
On April 23 and 24, the annual Shakespeare Birthday Celebrations will no doubt be an extra special occasion with plenty of pageantry, pomp and performance. And on April 23 – the day Shakespeare was born and died – a 1,000-strong grand birthday procession through the streets will pay the ultimate town tribute.
Stratford played a huge part in the Bard's life. Not only was he born here but he died in Stratford too. So walk in the great man's footsteps and explore the place he called home. You can tour his birthplace, pay your respects at his grave and visit his wife's Anne Hathaway childhood home, where the young playwright courted his future bride.
The timeless themes of his plays coupled with the lyrical beauty and power of his words means Shakespeare has constantly been performed throughout the centuries.
And two of Britain's great Shakespearian theatre companies will pulling out all the stops with spectacular productions in 2016.
Highlights include the RSC's collaboration with amateur companies from around the UK for a unique production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. A cast of professional and amateur actors take on arguably the nation's favourite Shakespearean play and it will launch in February at Stratford-upon-Avon before touring the country.
London's Globe Theatre summer season will be staging some of the Bard's best-known and loved works including The Taming of the Shrew and The Merchant of Venice. And returning to the Globe for a weekend of celebratory final performances is the unprecedented world Hamlet tour (a two-year tour to every country in the world).
Plays inspired by the Bard's life are also taking centre stage as part of the mammoth nationwide celebrations. Peter Whelan's emotional thriller The Herbal Bed about Shakespeare's daughter and the impact on the family of an accusation of adultery is revived this year since its acclaimed Royal Shakespeare Company premiere in 1994. The production is on at the Royal and Derngate, Northampton in February before touring the UK.
Now this may be sacrilege to say (and whisper it) but not all of us are enthralled by Shakespeare.
If you struggle with the seemingly incomprehensible dialogue and plots or were put off the Bard at school, you may be asking what all the fuss is about over a 400-year-old dead playwright.
The Reduced Shakespeare Company is the perfect answer. Irreverent, fast-paced and totally hilarious, this American touring theatre company condenses the complete works of the Shakespeare into one evening. All 37 plays in 97 minutes! And this mad-cap production is on tour in the UK in March and April.
Catch the company's performance and then impress friends and family with your new-found knowledge of Shakepeare's classics. All without having to sit through any of his plays.
To gain an insight into the man himself, some of the UK's major cultural institutions are staging fascinating exhibitions of Shakespeare's life and work.
The British Library's contribution is its Shakespeare in Ten Acts that explores the impact of ten significant theatrical Shakespearian moments and how they have made him the cultural phenomenon he is today. Plus there's the wonderful chance to see the only surviving play-script in the Bard's own hand, two of only six authentic signatures and rare printed editions including the First Folio.
A unique collaboration between The National Archives and King's College London has resulted in the By Me, William Shakespeare: A Life in Writing exhibition at Somerset House. On display are nine unique documents that reveal aspects of the playwright's life.
These documents include his last will and testament, four of the six known signatures and his evidence in a dispute over a dowry.
This, alongside carefully selected artefacts and paintings from other institutions, reveals the man, author, friend and father.
On the anniversary weekend on April 23-24, don your walking shoes for The Complete Walk. The 2.5 mile stretch between Westminster and Tower Bridge will be the setting for this unique one-off celebration. Thirty-seven big screens will be erected along the route and play a series of specially-created short films.
The films will feature some of the world's finest actors performing scenes, with some filmed against the actual location as depicted in Shakespeare's play. For instance Shylock in Venice's Jewish Ghetto, and Romeo and Juliet – but where else? – in Verona.
Another innovative celebration is at London's ancient Guildhall in March – Shakespeare Son et Lumiére. A free impressive light show projected on the façade of the Guildhall and set to period music will celebrate the playwright's connection to the city of London.
The Bard's cultural legacy isn't just confined to the stage. Other art forms have taken their inspiration from his plays' universal themes.
The Birmingham Royal Ballet commemorates his 400th anniversary with a rare and exceptional season of seven works inspired by Shakespeare's genius story-telling and characters.
This includes Kenneth Macmilllian's widely celebrated production of Romeo and Juliet, set to Prokofiev's epic score and a brand new one-act ballet Wink from Jessica Lang that's inspired by Shakespeare's sonnets. The Birmingham Royal Ballet's Shakespeare season ends with the world premiere in September of David Bintley's new full-length ballet The Tempest.
Glyndebourne marks the Shakespeare anniversary with a revival of the 1981 festival production of Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Directed by Peter Hall with conductor Kazushi Ono at the helm of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, an impressive ensemble cast will perform this operatic version of one of Shakespeare's best loved plays.

Welcome to Writerhead Wednesday, a weekly feature in which a brilliant, charming, remarkable author answers three questions about her/his writerhead…a precious opportunity for looky-loos around the world to sneak into the creative noggins of talented writers and (ever so gently) muck about.
As soon as I caught wind of Susan Conley and her recently published memoir The Foremost Good Fortune, I was curious about her writerhead. After all, she's a New Englander who was an expat in China with a unique story to tell.
So lean close, my friends, and lend your ear. You're going to want to hear this…
The Scoop About The Foremost Good Fortune
Susan Conley, her husband, and their two young sons say good-bye to their friends, family, and house in Maine for a two-year stint in a high-rise apartment in Beijing, prepared to embrace the inevitable onslaught of new experiences that such a move entails. But Susan can't predict just how much their lives will change.
While her husband is consumed with his job, Susan works on finishing her novel and confronting the challenges of day-to-day life in an utterly foreign country: determining the proper way to buy apples at a Chinese megamarket; bribing her little boys to ride the school bus; fielding invitations to mysterious "sweater parties" and tracking down the faux-purse empire of the infamous Bag Lady; and getting stuck in an elevator, unable to call for help in Mandarin.
Despite the distractions, there are many occasions for joy. From road trips to the Great Wall and bartering for a "starter Buddha" at the raucous flea market to lighting fireworks in the streets for the Chinese New Year and feasting on the world's best dumplings in back-alley restaurants, they gradually turn their unfamiliar environs into a true home.
Then Susan learns she has cancer. After undergoing treatment in Boston, she returns to Beijing, again as a foreigner—but this time, it's her own body in which she feels a stranger. Set against the eternally fascinating backdrop of modern China and full of insight into the trickiest questions of motherhood—How do you talk to children about death? When is it okay to lie?—this wry and poignant memoir is a celebration of family and a candid exploration of mortality and belonging.
The Buzzzzzzzzzzz
"You hear about riveting prose, and this is it. The story is nailed down, noisily, in metal. The Foremost Good Fortune is just about as honest a book as you'll ever read. The trip Conley went on was to a far more complex place that she envisioned. This is a beautiful book about China and cancer and how to be an authentic, courageous human being." ~ The Washington Post, Carolyn See
"Conley also touched a nerve that resonated with most women: She wasn't the perfect mother and she readily admitted to needing her own space. She used the metaphor of having a place inside her head where she retreated to when things with her boys got too manic to deal with. The theme continues to resonate through the metaphor of Mandarin and then cancer as a sea in which she is swimming alone." ~ China Daily, Rebecca Lo
"This is a beautiful story of womanhood, motherhood, travel and loss, written by an author of rare and radiant grace." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
First Sentence
"It's late on a cold April night in Portland, Maine, and I lie on the couch staring hard at a glossy pullout map of Beijing."
And now, Susan's writerhead…
1. Describe your state of writerhead (the where, the when, the how, the what, the internal, the external).
Writerhead begins while I'm in a deep sleep, and if things are zinging that day, I'm able to keep one foot in that dreamland the whole time I'm at my writing desk. It's a morning operation for me—I surface from a REM cycle, catch the thread of a plot line or a character quirk that's asking for attention, nurse that in bed (maybe even scratch the idea out on a notepad) until my little people wake up. Feed the boys breakfast—walk them to school. All the while nurturing the writer head and gently resisting intrepid outside forces: no internet, no telephone, no plumber.
If I can make it to my desk with the dreaminess intact (it has something to do with energy reserves—email sucks all the vigor out of me if I do it first thing and I have nothing left in my creative bank—and something to do with hope. I am more joyful as a writer if I haven't spent lost minutes trolling New York Times.com before nine am) I am good to go for five hours. Once I'm there I am mostly a work horse. I like long stretches of time and I don't break except to sprint to the kitchen for a hummus bagel sandwich and then back at it.
I once taught a workshop to room of burgeoning memoir writers that was about using fiction techniques in our non-fiction. The subtitle of the workshop could have been "ass in chair" because the biggest problem most of the students in the room were having was making the time to write. I had a mantra that whole workshop: if the ass is not in the chair than the writing will not occur. But I don't always sit at my desk. My shoulders get tired and my neck hurts, and I move to a mattress I dragged up the attic stairs by myself last fall and wrangled into the corner of my tiny study. I dressed it up as a day bed, with bright cotton pillows and Indian blankets and I often move there when I feel the dark forces circling again: the internet, the telephone, the plumber. I lie back on the pillows and whether I'm writing long-hand in my notebooks (early drafts of everything I write) or plucking away at the keyboard, this mattress sometimes allows me to hold on another hour or so of writerhead.
2. What happens if someone/something interrupts writerhead? (a spouse, a lover, a barking dog, an electrical outage, a baby's cry, a phone call, a leg cramp, a dried-up pen, a computer crash, etc.)
All can be lost so easily—even the best laid plans of a writing day. So I maintain a kind of fierceness to guard my time and the headspace of writerhead. It can evaporate so quickly. It all looks harmless—a husband who wants to talk through our boys' guitar lesson schedules is standing in my attic office door. Ten minutes later he has the details he needs to go retrieve our musicians and I've lost the voice of my narrator for the rest of the day.
I have strategies to combat this. I don't make eye contact with my husband when he pokes his head in, and I pretend I haven't heard him when he coughs. I never answer the front door (whatever they need to tell me or leave me I know they will come back the next day and try again) or the phone.
My husband has told me that when I'm writing, really writing and not just moving around paragraphs in an attempt to spark something, the level of focus in my office is high. Scarily high, he reported last week, because of the kitchen faucet I left on downstairs for three hours after I grabbed a glass of water. I tell him I am unaware of the focus or the faucet because I am too busy writing. I think this new word, writerhead, might do some of the work of explaining where my brain goes. I won't need to make frown faces at my kids when they ask me what's for dinner while I'm still on my writer's clock. I will just say the word writerhead to them and it will soon have its own kind of currency.
3. Using a simile or metaphor, compare your writerhead to something.
Writerhead is a small wooden dory. The work is in getting to the dock, putting on my life jacket and climbing into the boat without upsetting the things in there: the oars, the water slushing in the bilge, the bow line and stern line. Once I'm in the boat, I get right to work rowing. There can be choppy seas and the oars can get heavy and awkward. But I try to keep the boat moving—every day a little further up the coast and then back home.
Susan Conley lived in Beijing for more than two years, and returned to Portland, Maine, with her husband and two sons in December 2009. She is cofounder and executive director of the Telling Room, a writers' workshop and literary hub for the region. She was an associate editor at Ploughshares and has led creative writing seminars at Emerson College in Boston.

I know Summer is over because I want to buy new computers and get busy with several business related projects.
I have also been researching every imaginable adaptor, hub, and accessory to ensure I have interconnectivity with all of my existing devices as well as devices I want to purchase.. see here and here.
Recently, I picked up a 4 Port USB Hub to use with my RCA Windows 10 PC/Tablet.
Though the system has both a touchpad and touchscreen, I have found I like using a USB Mouse as the primary input in addition to the keyboard.
The new hub works well. It allows me to connect multiple USB devices while using the USB Mouse.

Stittsville's Erica Wiebe wrestles her way to the Rio Olympics
** Erica Wiebe's ** journey to the Olympics in Rio started when she was in Grade 9 at Sacred Heart High School. That's when she saw a poster for co-ed wrestling practice.
"I was playing competitive soccer from a pretty young age. I played every sport in high school and in grade 9 one of the sports offered was wrestling," she says. "Right away I just loved it. It's unlike anything else. You get to touch somebody, put your hands on them. But it's tactical too, like a very sweaty chess game." Wiebe, who just turned 27, is in the final stretch of training for the Olympic Games in August, where she'll compete for Team Canada as part of the women's wrestling team.
She's a 2014 Commonwealth Games Champion, she won the FISU University World Championship in 2014, she's a six-time Canadian National Champion and she won the CIS National Championship at the university level three times.
Her wrestling coach back in Grade 9 was Sil Sanna, a long-time Sacred Heart teacher, now retired. He remembers Wiebe's early interest in the sport.
"I think she came with a couple of her friends… we were just introducing the girls wrestling program. I used to run a Grade 7-8 program, but girls couldn't wrestle then, and she was really keen to try it," he says. "Later in her career, in Grades 10, 11 an 12, I had a hard time finding guys to wrestle against her because they kept getting beat up by her!"
Sanna says Wiebe was always up for a challenge, often picking the toughest guy on the school's football team to wrestle against, and usually winning.
What makes Wiebe such a great wrestler? Sanna says it's lower body strength and intelligence.
"She has a very strong lower body. She's got thunder legs, they were muscular, being a (soccer) goalie. She was very solid, very good centre of gravity, she took really quick to moves I showed her, and a very quick learner," he says. "She's still doing that right now. she'll practice and move for days and weeks until she perfects it. I know that in her early times in grade 9, because of her weight category, she was wrestling some of the grade 12's from other schools and she won all the time. That's how strong she was, and smart too."
"I am so proud of her. I treat her as a daughter. I'm really proud of my students and my athletes that go on and do something for themselves," he says. "I'm trying to figure out a way to afford to go down to Rio and watch her. I promised her, once you get to the Olympics if it's feasible I'll come down and watch you."

_ Video: Erica Wiebe is interviewed after qualifying for the Olympics at the Pan Am Olympic Qualifier in Fresno, Texas in March. _
She currently lives in Calgary but her training involves a lot of travel. When we talked to her earlier this month, she was just about to fly to Germany for an international competition, before heading to Sweden for a training camp with their national team. Her visit to Ottawa is part of a two-week tour of Ontario that includes training with the German and American teams in St. Catharines, the Canada Cup competition in Guelph on June 25, and then back to Calgary for intensive training until the Olympics.
"I'm almost really scared for what July has to come. Leading to the Olympic trials last December, our peak phase of training, I trained more intensely than ever before. The phrase was 'leave no stone un-turned'. In July the intensity and training will increase, and the volume, getting us peaked for the Olympics," she says.
Wiebe has also become a role model for young wrestlers in Canada - men and women - and stops in at Sacred Heart when she can to run clinics or help with practices. She says women's wrestling in particular has come a long way since she started as a teenager.
"It's unbelievable how far it's come. I saw a bunch of the National Capital athletes in Calgary. Just watching all of Canada's wrestlers, I was so amazed at the skill level, the talent, the passion that they have at that age. It was inspirational for me. It reminded me why I did it and where it started. I was never as good as those girls at that age that's for sure!"

There are a few other aspects to consider like balance and swingweight. Deciding on the most appropriate grip size for your racquet is dependent mostly on hand dimensions but in addition on strength, style, and other things. We're proud to introduce the initial 22 in. and 23 in. racquet series into racquetball known as the Longbody 165 (22 in.) and Longbody 175 (23 in.). There's not a particular stroke that is needed in racquetball. We also supply the most recent speed and agility drills which will have you moving in the manner of a pro. It's important to use all proper equipment based on ages together. We've got equipment available for your usage.
Different materials have been put to use previously for the building of such racquets in attempts to enhance the maneuverability and ball acceleration together with the vibration and damping behavior. Playing just consistent isn't good enough in the current game. It's a mixture of the complete weight and the balance. The manner of play becomes quite defensive and it's tough to develop a rhythm.
Whichever you select, racquet sports are a fantastic approach to get fit in a fun and social atmosphere. When searching for a racquetball racquet buying guide, make sure you pick the proper type of racquet, be sure that you identify your degree of knowledge in regards to playing the sport. If you're new to at least one of these sports, we will be able to help you learn how to play and meet members.
A full-service gym makes it possible to remain in shape to keep playing enhance your game. Racquetball does not want strict technique. It is a fast and fun sport to play. For beginners, it is likewise best to choose a racquet with a teardrop shape because it permits you to swing it easily. If you wish to receive your initial serious racquet, or even your very first racquet period, answering some basic questions will be able to help you in your search for the ideal racquet.
What You Don't Know About Racquetball Racquet
In the event the index finger fits perfectly, you've located the right grip size for you. Additionally, with hand racquets, there's no grip to be concerned about, hence the wrist is more stable, or so the shots are somewhat more accurate. It's important that you pick the most suitable size grip or you can end up getting an uncomfortable racquet which can't only damage your game, but might lead to injury. Gloves are likewise a parcel of equipment that may be used by means of a player. I'm certain you can discover expensive, snobby gloves that actually look as they mean business for racquetball. Balls are the most crucial bit of equipment to purchase. Just about all skilled players utilize a racquet in the 170-175g variety.
Kids aren't better players since they can maintain a rally going 10x longer. They learn very quickly and very naturally and are capable of a high level of proficiency at a very young age. They need to learn to take advantage of an opening and attack in a myriad of ways.
The Chronicles of Racquetball Racquet
Don't ignore quality and just improve quantity. Don't be scared to think a bit outside the box when picking a sweat proof racquetball glove. This cost less expensive than a titanium racquet. Use various ball composition, compression, and dimensions, conducive to the physical dimensions and visual development phase of the kid. You may use a ruler to discover what grip size is most suitable for your hand. She's currently about 68lbs. Please call to find out more!

From the start of every morning, you're following habits whether they be good or bad. Mark Tewart explains how important it is to practice good habits on today's Tip of the Day.
Hi, I'm Mark Tewart and welcome to the tip of the day on CBT News. More people are locked into the prisons of bad habits, than all of the penitentiaries combined. Look at your habits. What do you do when you wake up? What are the first three things you do? What are the first three things when you get to the dealership? How do you end your day? How do you handle customers when you're in front of them? What are the things you do in your presentation, your demonstration? What do you do with your follow up?
All of these things are habits. Habits create success. You have to have discipline. All the motivation in the world will come and go, but what will last will be the discipline and the habits you create from that. That will determine your success, no matter what. My best tip on the sales tip of the day on CBT News.
Remember you can access all of our tips from more than ten trainers right here on demand.

At swimming class yesterday, we reached a few new milestones. First, A got to pick the songs we sang. He was very interested in singing certain songs, and told the teacher so. Next, he is now a BIG fan of JUMPING into the pool. He's still timid about doing it, especially from a standing position, but said YEAH! every time I asked if he wanted to jump in. It's funny when I think back on how upset he would get when he would get splashed, and now he just giggles. Next, the teacher had everyone go for a "big swim," where the kids take either a noodle or a barbell to kick the length of the pool. Since he wears a bubble, I decided to let go and see what happened. Sure enough, A kept on going, but got mad at me when I tried to show him how to kick from the hips rather than from the legs.

"So why am I here?" Chief Growth Officer, Andrew Bart, asks himself, musing over my question. "I'm here because a little over a year and a half ago, my friend Robert Maynard and I came to an agreement over a gentlemen's bottle of wine."
"At the time, I had been eight years out of an office and had built up a portfolio of about 90 companies, serving as a startup advisor, board member, venture capital investor, or fractional C-level executive, and deploying assets into the companies to help them grow. My sweet spot is Seed through Series B rounds," Mr. Bart continued, smiling.
Mr. Bart joined with InterPayments initially as a consultant, helping Robert (CEO and Founder) to recruit InterPayments's Chief Revenue Officer, Scot McLernon, Chief Technology Officer Krishna Doddi, and Chief Strategy Officer, Kate King among others. But over that bottle of wine, Robert asked Mr. Bart to pick a title for himself and get involved.
After consulting with his wife on the matter, Mr. Bart agreed.
What Swayed His Decision?
One of the things that really tipped his decision was his appreciation of Robert's team-building style and instincts. When they traveled to Aptos California to meet with Scot McLernon in an effort to recruit him, Robert didn't pitch Mr. McLernon at all, but smartly concentrated his attention on Mr. McLernon's wife, gauging the extent to which she was willing to sacrifice time with her newly-retired husband. After all, if she wasn't on board, they might as well have just packed up and returned home.
Luckily, she saw the incredible potential of InterPayments, just as Mr. Bart did.
Andrew Bart Chose His Own Title
For his title, Mr. Bart selected Chief Growth Officer with responsibilities associated with increasing the enterprise valuation of the company through pursuits including but not limited to capital formation, business development, strategic partnerships, venture building, and corporate development.
As an incredibly driven man, Mr. Bart's accomplishments started early in his life. Just out of college and on his path to attending Santa Clara School of Law (looking to major in internet law) he was recruited by Jeff Herzog to join the early-stage team at iCrossing (at the time International Crossing) in its startup years.
When Mr. Bart showed up for his interview, iCrossing's early team all laughed at Andrew's appearance. He wore a suit and tie to an interview…at a tech company. Very passé.
In any case, iCrossing became one of the first internet search marketing companies, going on to make a number of acquisitions itself and was finally acquired by Hearst Corporation. During his time there, Mr. Bart had the opportunity to be mentored directly under a true internet pioneer, Mr. Herzog himself. As a result, Mr. Bart emerged as a valuable resource to many startups to come. To this day his closest friends in Arizona are his original core of coworkers at iCrossing.
Prime Focus
As InterPayments'x Chief Growth Officer, Andrew's prime focus is to grow the company as quickly as possible through business developments, which means:
- Opening up channels.
- Identifying financing opportunities.
- Contributing to capital acquisition strategies.
- Striking advantageous partnerships.
- Identifying roadblocks between departments that might hamper those partnerships.
- Turning all partnerships and channels into valuable assets for InterPayments.
- And, really, whatever else is needed of him in a startup environment.
Early Initiatives
One of Mr. Bart's earliest initiatives at InterPayments was to merge together the twin forces of sales and marketing into a force of nature dubbed The Smarketing Team (which he learned from another mentor Dan Tyre, Hubspot). Together, The Smarketing Team mold and shape the company's messaging, deploy campaigns, and provide resources and assistance to clients and partnerships alike. It has been proclaimed by many in C-Suite that InterPayments's Smarketing Team is among the best a startup could ever hope for.
Basically, anything that contributes to growth is in Mr. Bart's court. On any given day, the employees of InterPayments will hear from Mr. Bart, transmitting from some faraway place, after he has finalized yet another incredible partnership with a major player that we never expected to hear from quite this early in the game.

Just saying. 🙂
No doubt I'll see you here, right?
Just saying. 🙂
No doubt I'll see you here, right?
Yes, that's right – I managed to NOT focus on my EconomyEdits job for the weekend, the first two consecutive days I've not client-edited since I began.
Thanks for the ok, Nicole. 😉
On top of that, I actively worked on ME things. First, I tarted up all the 3words shorts that I wanted to include in the collection. Then I created an eBook. And then I began working on the paperback version (give it a couple of days – tomorrow's busy, and I'm back on the job again :)).
Oh, and I finished reading my novel TELL ME SOMETHING TRUE. I don't like to toot my own horn, but… Man, I enjoyed reading that. I do think the intentional typos could be an issue, though, so will be stop-gapping that tomorrow or Tuesday by adding a "WARNING: TYPOS AHEAD!" type page at the start. And then see from there.
But today is more about 3words Redux now being available on Amazon as an eBook, and can be found here:
I do like that cover. 🙂
And don't forget – 3words August will be upon is in just a few days… so please seriously think about committing just 10 minutes a day to an ongoing story. You never know – you may love it! Obviously, I think you will. 🙂
Looks, feels and smells (yes, I said it) fabulous. 🙂
If you're jealous, feel free to get your own:
I'll post a pic of me n my books when the other two arrive. OR, if I can finalise a Wonky cover style, when the four plus Wonky arrive. Bet you can't wait. 🙂
These are ten of my favourite stories, being tales of everyday people struggling through sadness and hope while hoping for connections within distance, all of them trying to find a liveable pathway through the minutiae of daily living.
In A SWIM IN THE CLOUDS, two once-close sisters reconnect through words and books, but mostly through action while confronting their dark past, and their hopes for a better future.
In GIRAFFE SPOTS, a lonely man who is missing his sister's support learns how to blow bubbles and forgive while spending an afternoon in the park with three surprising new friends.
In UP AGAINST A WALL, an everyday family man stoically performs his job, but lives for his family, while feeling his life is unappreciated by all, especially his beloved, distant daughter.
In BOBBY LOU, a once-exiled and self-confessed flasher returns to his home town seeking redemption, reconciliation or understanding, and rekindles an important connection.
In HAZARD LIGHTS, two lonely co-workers struggle to be true while keeping their affair a secret, yet daren't admit even the most rudimentary feelings towards each another.
In COLD, a relationship-questioning drunk discusses his problems with his partner's cat in the garden while said partner sleeps, seeking answers or reason but finding only mistakes.
In HALFWAY HOME, a long-term family man struggles to find any kind of happiness in his distant wife or mocking daughters, and finds he feels happier living within his sleeping reality.
In EVERY MINUTE, a boy and his mother struggle to find any kind of sleep or peace, pining for the man of their house who is no longer with them, while wishing for a better future.
In HOW EASY WE BREAK, a barely-functioning, self-distancing alcoholic tries to keep hold of himself but slips, and slips again, influencing and harming those who would love him.
In LADDERS, a currently unemployed, middle-aged, repeating-father is unhappy at home, but finds an unexpected way to dream while resolving his past mental and physical issues.
While I was sleeping, somebody made the first ever paperback purchase of my novel TELL ME SOMETHING TRUE.
I sure do hope they enjoy it. 🙂
Just discovered they bought it via Amazon, not CreateSpace. Still just as happy they bought it, but there would have been a few more pennies in my pocket if purchased through CreateSpace. 😉
First review on Amazon:
Many thanks, Eduardo. 🙂
I finally designed a cover I love 🙂
And so my 700 page novel is now available in paperback at CreateSpace. Yay!
3words will be returning tomorrow.
This time "we" will be writing for just 20 days, so "we" will generate a 2000 word story.
I've had no ideas so far regarding character, setting or plot etc, with which to set us on our way, so if you have an idea let me know.
Oh yeah, the "rules":
It's simple –
As we progress, others involved can suggest words for us to use, and no doubt I will incorporate some.
Anyone wanting to play along either post a comment to let me know, or just simply play along via the #3wordswonky69
Would you appreciate or benefit from having a little EDITMONKEY sitting on your shoulder, helpfully pointing out when you:
Well, Economy Edits was created to help the indie writer on a budget. Find us @
A simple post for once, just to note the number of requests for each title. Yes, the numbers/names look a little sad n lonely at the moment, but hopefully in time…

The Stylistics
The Philadelphia soul legends return to Tokyo for more festive joy and retro classics this December. Formed in 1968, The Stylistics are widely known for their numerous hits in the 70s, including "Stop, Look, Listen," "You Are Everything," "Break Up to Make Up," and "You Make Me Feel Brand New," with a reformed line up seen touring all over the world in recent decades. The group saw a unexpected surge of interest in Japan after their hit single, "Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)," was used in a hugely popular hair product commercial featuring SMAP's Takuya Kimura back in 2006. Pop culture anecdotes aside, nothing comes close to the soulful harmonies of original Philly soul, so why not spend a smooth soulful Christmas with The Stylistics.

My baby girl turned 5 years old yesterday. I can't believe the time has gone so quickly. It seems like just yesterday Mike was calling us to tell us that Tiffany had gone into labor and was already at the hospital so we had better get there quick! She was so beautiful. A perfect complexion. Deep blue eyes that were wide open instead of the sleepy newborn daze. A headful of strawberry blonde hair. 10 fingers and 10 toes. LONG legs and gigantic feet. She never did fit into those newborn diapers or newborn clothes people showered us with! Unlike most newborns, she didn't sleep all day. She needed constant stimulation. I cursed all those dispensers of advice that told me to sleep when the baby sleeps. My baby didn't sleep! Little did we know that this was a sign of things to come! She seemed to take in everything from the very start even though all my books said she couldn't see more than a few inches. By a week old she was entranced with the ceiling fan and studied her pacifier with the intensity of a PhD thesis. Yet more signs of what lay ahead! She was stubborn, oh so stubborn and her personality has only grown stronger and more interesting as she has grown. We had some friends who used to joke about Hannah being a "super genius baby" because she just seemed to know everything. Speaking before most kids were saying even their first words. Conjugating verbs correctly before her peers were putting 2 words together. Little did we know how right they would be. Sarah and Jason, you guys called it for sure.
She's had many struggles as she grown, but now when I look at my beautiful, precious little girl I'm so proud of the young lady she's become. I don't know what I would ever do without her. I thank God every single night for bringing us together with Tiffany and Mike and making us parents of this absolutely amazing little girl.

On Wednesday, I took a bit of an extended break from packing my life up into boxes and tote bags (oh to be a blogger!) and hopped on a train to Bournemouth with Corrie for a seaside escapade with Benefit Cosmetics.
My Benefit story began when I was 15 or so: my Mum took me for my annual birthday shopping trip, and let me choose four products from the Benefit counter as part of my present.
For a 16 year old, you can only imagine the excitement when presented with such adorable, quirky packaging and quality goodies inside.
Wednesday evening saw Corrie and I, along with Kia, Lauren and Jemima see Benefit's latest products being demonstrated by the head of make-up and trend artistry, Lisa, and celebrate the launch of Sunbeam, which is released on Monday! It was a very intimate affair, held at their newly opened Benefit Boutique which is situated inside Debenhams in the Bournemouth town centre.
One of the 'perks' of being a blogger is that, once in a while, you are invited to preview products to share with your loyal readers, and I can honestly say this was one of my all-time favourites. We were treated to afternoon tea at The Print Room, and chatted away about make-up, vintage ballgowns, wedding planning ideas, careers, Craig David (yep!) and, of course, blogging, over tea, scones, Victoria sponge and finger sandwiches. A bloggers' heaven? I think so.
Sunbeam is the newest addition to the Benefit collection, and is described as liquid sunshine in a bottle. It's the bronzer version of Highbeam and Moonbeam, which I also own, yet Sunbeam is my favourite of the three. I've worn it twice since receiving it on Wednesday underneath a Missha BB cream (although a light/sheer foundation is also recommended if you're not a fan) and it gives the loveliest summer glow to your skin. I use it very sparingly on the cheekbones, browbones and dotted on my forehead, for a subtle bronze shimmer underneath your base of choice, and Corrie has popped up a tutorial video using hers!
At the Sunbeam launch, I was also kindly given They're Real mascara and the Porefessional with their new packaging, as well as an It's Potent eye cream, all of which I'll be giving a proper test run now that all of my belongings are in one place again! A huge thank you to Lisa and Jasmine for having me at such a well thought out event, it was the perfect surprise and so nice to see a brand who truly understands their market. ♥

I have done some further tweaking of my blog. Would you my fellow bloggers check it out to see what you think. Please check it out from the front page and offer any feedback you might have.
Day: July 18, 2015
A New Look For My Site…What Do You Think?
I have made a significant change to my blog. I have made look more like a personal homepage. When folks visit my page I want them to see my skills with WordPress. On the front page you will see links to my most recent posts and ways to connect to me elsewhere. I also wanted to feature my city of Chattanooga, a place that influences much of my blogging. The Motif theme is a great theme that is easy to read, navigate and customize. I liked my previous theme but I thought there was too much content to see all at once.
So my fellow bloggers, what do you think? Your feedback is welcome.

* Opening Hymn – Come, Thou Almighty King UMH 61
1. Come, thou almighty King, help us thy name to sing, help us to praise! Father all glorious, o'er all victorious, come and reign over us, Ancient of Days!
2. Come, thou incarnate Word, gird on thy mighty sword, our prayer attend! Come, and thy people bless, and give thy word success; Spirit of holiness, on us descend!

Sharing Joys and Concerns
Remembering John "Jack" Hugg
Pastoral Prayer
Lord's Prayer
Children's Moment
Anthem – O How Amiable (Ralph Vaughan Williams)
O how amiable are Thy dwellings: Thou Lord of Hosts! My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord: My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young: even Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house: They will be alway praising Thee. The glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us: prosper Thou the work of our hands upon us. O prosper Thou our handy work.
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.
A Reading from the Old Testament – Psalm 37:1-11 Aimee Delaney, Liturgist
Do not fret because of the wicked;
do not be envious of wrongdoers,
for they will soon fade like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday.
Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices.
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.
For the wicked shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look diligently for their place, they will not be there.
But the meek shall inherit the land,
and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
Prayer of Confession Aimee Delaney, Liturgist
Almighty God, we confess that we wander from the truth, and fashion our own version that suits us. We create our own stories that center our experience, sometimes over the experiences of those who are oppressed and marginalized. We confess that often in our stories we are the heroes, we are the ones who have overcome hardship and struggles.
Forgive us, for You died for us. Forgive us, for we ought to be last of all, servant of all, seeing the humanity in all. Forgive us, for the truth is there, always justice needing to be done. Always peace to be waged. Always love to be shared. Always forgiveness to be given. Forgive us, for the work is not done, and the truth is we are not the hero, but we are at best the ones who support You in the work of love and justice. Call us to Your truth. Amen.
Words of Assurance Aimee Delaney, Liturgist
You are God's beloved child. You are important to God's story, and God needs you. You are forgiven and loved. Go now, continue to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Forgive as you are forgiven, love as you are loved, & know that God is with you, always. Amen.
* Hymn of Preparation – Christ, Your Words of Love Confound Us (BEACH SPRING 220.127.116.11 D , #581)
1. Christ, your words of love confound us, even as we give you praise,
for the lessons that you teach us seem so far from this world's ways.
How can we love those who hate us? How can we love enemies?
What of people who abuse us? How can we love even these?
2. Make us mindful: love is action, not a feeling that uplifts.
In each daily situation, love's the greatest of all gifts.
It's the wiser, stronger person who will break the chain of hate.
Love can usher in redemption; love can make a people great.
3. Faced with those who seek to hurt us, make us confident and free:
you don't call us to be helpless but to stand with dignity.
Lord, when others are demanding, may we know they matter more
than our money or possessions. May we share, not keeping score.
4. If we love just those who love us, where's the giving? Where's the grace?
Even sinners try to do this; they have friends that they embrace.
May we do, Lord, unto others as we'd have them also do.
You have shown us: Love is action. May we love, and make things new.
A Reading from the Gospel – Luke 6:27-38
"But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back."
Sermon – "Struggling to Forgive" Rev. Debbie Scott
The Offering of Gifts and Tithes
Offertory – Lord, For Thy Tender Mercies' Sake (Richard Farrant)
Lord, for Thy tender mercies' sake, lay not our sins to our charge, but forgive that is past, and give us grace to amend our sinful lives; to decline from sin, and incline to virtue, that we may walk with a perfect heart before Thee now and ever more.
* Presentation of Offering – Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow UMH 95
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below;
praise him above, yet heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Offering Prayer (All)
Lord of Love and Compassion: How easy the road of discipleship would be if all you asked from us were the gifts we bring to your altar. How convenient would it be if we could write a check or swipe a card and leave here to live like so many do, focused exclusively on our own wants, needs, and passions? Remind us again, as we present our tithes and offerings, that the real challenge of discipleship comes when we leave this place, as you send us into the world to respond in radical love to those who would judge us, hurt us, and threaten us. We pray this in the name of Jesus, who loved and forgave, even as he was tortured and nailed to a cross. Amen.
* Closing Hymn – Blest Be the Tie That Binds UMH 557
1. Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.
2. Before our Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares.
3. We share each other's woes, our mutual burdens bear; and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear.
4. When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again.
* Benediction
We leave, our hearts filled with God's love.
We will go to offer the wonders of laughter
and hope to everyone we will meet.
We leave, following Jesus into the world.
We will serve alongside him in the brokenness
of our neighbors and our communities.
We leave, having heard the whispers of the Spirit.
We will speak justice to those
who would hoard it only for themselves.
* Choral Response – New Testament Benediction (Christian Gregor)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit
be with us all, Amen.
* Ringing of the Bicentennial Bell
* Organ Postlude – Allegro giusto (Barnes)
