45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Shiraz, 11% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot
The Estate Reserve is the 'signature blend' of Glenelly. It combines the rich, savory character of Syrah, ripe fruit and hints of pepper-space with the specific flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon, blackberries, cherries, cassis, and floral tones. It is supported by a firm tannin structure with elegant oak integration. The palate presents a tremendous concentration of flavors with a great complexity and a fresh long finish.

The grapes were hand sorted and lightly crushed into stainless steel fermentation tanks. They were given a cold soak for three days before allowing the natural fermentation to start. Three pump overs a day were done on the tanks during fermentation, after which they underwent extended skin contact for 2-3 weeks. The wine was placed in French oak barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation. Matured for 18 months in French oak and racked on average every four months.

The Glenelly Estate is in the Idas Valley, located in Stellenbosch, on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. This estate of 128 hectares formerly devoted to fruit production had, thanks to its terroir, a vocation for wine producing, which has been a specialty of this region since the seventeenth century. An exhaustive study of soil and weather conditions lead to the planting of 60 hectares of red varieties, 6 hectares of white and 5 hectares of olive trees. Central to this impressive circle of mountains, vineyards and olive groves, lies the 'Manor House' in the Cape Dutch style, white walls and thatched roof, surrounded by newly renovated farm buildings and beautiful gardens. Four lakes provide water supply whilst the flora and fauna add to the beauty of this site. The year 2009 saw the inauguration of the winery: 6,000 m² anchored in the mountains on 4 floors functioning by gravity flow. This very modern structure was designed as an excellent environmentally friendly working tool (consumption of electricity and water reduced, keeping constant temperature etc...)

So we've been busy adding new designs of our popular Mini Patches; putting up images of some that we hadn't scanned yet; updating others, as we've greatly improved the quality of some. Of the five new images we put up today, (also, Italy, Mexico and the Netherlands), these two have some things in common that gave me pause to consider.
The Saltire, Scotland's national flag – not to be confused with the Lion Rampant, but more about that some other day – is considered one of the oldest flags in the world. Long story about why it's called the Cross of St Andrew. Another long story about a vision of this cross in the sky (not Skye) and how it turned the tide for a battle against whom, Dear Reader? Why the Vikings of course. Which is a nice segue to our next patch, that of the Dannebrog – the national flag of Denmark. That's of course where a lot of those pesky (depending on your persuasion) Vikings originated.
Of course those lusty fellows weren't flying this flag – more about their Raven flag some other day – but that's the one that most Danes fly today – most of the time. Not much talk today about the story behind the cross on this one, like other Scandinavian (and one some consider almost Scandinavian) flags; or of the rather different shaped flags those northern folk sometimes fly. The point we're trying hard to get to today is that Denmark is probably the oldest continuing reigning monarchy in the world, going all the way back to good old king Canute or Knut or Cnut Sweynsson.
Think Canute ever crossed paths with the Saltire? Probably not, but it's fun to speculate. Ah, vexillology! Ya gotta love it. Well, we do.

Tenant Check USA helps property management companies get a good perspective on any potential tenants and renters. Tenant Check does this by providing extensive background checks and gathering credit history.
The credit checks allows the property managers or landlords to understand the ability of the tenant to pay and a glimpse at their payment reputation. This gives the property managers or landlords a clear understanding of the risk involved in approving a tenant.
Landlords or property managers have a right to request your credit report when making tenant related decisions. Because their inquiry is a "legitimate business need" they are permitted access to your credit history.
Has an error in your credit report caused you to be denied a housing arrangement? You can dispute anything listed on your credit report that you feel is not accurate. The credit bureaus are required to remove that issue unless it can be verified.
If you are denied residence due to an issue within your credit report, the property management company or landlord is required to notify you.
Francis and Mailman is ready to help you clean up any mistakes that may be on your credit report. Don't let these issues affect payments, employment, and tenant status again.

CLEVELAND -- I've been in town for about 48 hours, and already six people have told me about Scott Entsminger. Dozens more have emailed me. You want to know how we feel about the Browns? Scott Entsminger is your answer. That's what everyone tells me.
Scott Entsminger was from Mansfield, about 80 miles southwest of Cleveland, and he worked for General Motors for 32 years before recently retiring. He loved to garden, and to fish, and he played guitar with some friends in a band called the Old Fogies Band. He had a wife, and a teenage son, and three dogs. And he died on July 4 of this year, at the young age of 55.
His obituary is a fairly standard one -- it's where I gathered all that information above -- except for two sentences:
A lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and season ticket holder, he also wrote a song each year and sent it to the Cleveland Browns as well as offering other advice on how to run the team. He respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pallbearers so the Browns can let him down one last time.
On Legacy.com, you're allowed to comment on obituaries in a separate Guest Book section. (Note to my kin: Please do not attach a comment section to my obituary.) Entsminger's page goes on and on, 153 entries, almost all of them Browns fans, laughing with this dead man they never met, sharing their own memories of this franchise that's determined to follow and haunt them into the grave and beyond. You can sorta tell reading all the entries: This is how they think they're gonna go too. This is what it's like to be a Browns fan.
FirstEnergy Stadium, as any Browns fan will tell you, is nothing like Cleveland Municipal Stadium, and even though they say that as a compliment to the stadium, you can tell they really think it's an insult, or at least a shame. There's nothing wrong with FirstEnergy Stadium: It's perfectly clean and safe and has decent sightlines from wherever you sit. (Joe Posnanski, writing of Cleveland Municipal, once wrote, "Municipal was uniquely designed so that no matter how many people attended, every person had a view blocked by a steel beam.") But there's nothing special about it either. It is fairly standard issue, built out at the exact angle that allows the noise to escape and blocks any view of the Erie waterfront. It's fine. It's also nothing. It's Standard Generic Stadium.
Browns fans deserve more than Standard Generic Stadium, and they know it. But then again, this is the central conflict of today's Cleveland Browns: They are a replacement for, a symbol toward and a simulacrum of a franchise that meant everything to this city … but they're not exactly that old franchise. These Cleveland Browns are a monument to the old Browns, but they're not the old Browns. For the sake of continuity, convenience and civic clarity, these Browns share a name, and a record book, and a fanbase with those old Browns. Their fans share memories between the two, and they've decided to connect them, to pretend that it's all seamless, to pretend that 1996-98 never happened. But they're not the same thing. The Cleveland Browns are a cover band making inferior music. They're an avatar. They're Jimmy Stewart in Vertigo, desperately trying to remake Kim Novak back into Madeleine.
These Cleveland Browns -- these new ones -- began expansion play in 1999. They lost their first game 43-0 to Pittsburgh. They've had the second-worst record in the NFL since they came into existence -- or re-existence -- and they've only played one playoff game, a loss to the Steelers. (FirstEnergy Stadium is the only current NFL stadium that has never hosted a playoff game.) Their career touchdown leader in this incarnation, amazingly, is Braylon Edwards. This is a dreadful franchise.
The old Browns were not dreadful. They were painful, to be sure: They seemed to exist, particularly in the Super Bowl era, solely to yank away the dreams of their fans at the last possible second. They were cruel, really. But they were not dreadful. They were not irrelevant. They were not this. The current Cleveland Browns don't rise to the level of painful. They are just lousy, in a boring way. Think of it this way: If, say, San Antonio had gotten an expansion team in 1999 rather than Cleveland, and gotten off to this sort of start, would they have any fans left? Would their stands be even half full? And yet there are the Browns fans, totaling 67,000 a game, out there at their boring stadium screaming for their boring team, as if it means anything, as if any other football fanbase in the country would even bother. They cheer for these imposters, they make them theirs, in a way this franchise does not deserve.
The Cleveland Browns are ennobled by their fans. Their fans are the only reason they matter.
* * *
Thanks to my friends at great Cleveland sports blog Waiting For Next Year, I ended up sitting in the Dawg Pound for the Browns' game against the Dolphins this past Sunday. As everyone I've told this to has informed me since I left the stadium, though, I didn't really sit in the Dawg Pound. Not the real one.
My Dawg Pound was friendly. It was loud, sure, and spirited, and featured an inordinate amount of Brandon Weeden cursing. There were a couple of guys who had a little too much to drink, the sort of guys you give a wide berth to, just in case. I had good seats, and everyone was really into the game. But it wasn't dangerous, it wasn't crazy, it wasn't the old Browns. Heck, I only saw a couple of masks.
But that shouldn't be meant to imply that there was less devotion from the fans. Even through a dull, 7-6 first half, even through a total offensive breakdown in the second half, Browns fans were yelling and hooting and cursing and all of it. It's a different kind of cheering than I see at other places: This is almost preemptive cheering, a noise for its own sake, to signify that we're going to yell for this team even if we know it's stupid, even if we know it won't make a difference. It hasn't worked before, it won't work now, but dammit, we're doing it anyway.
That noise, that devotion … it is the only thing the Cleveland Browns franchise, this current version, has going for it. The fans here have decided, in the face of logic (as all great decisions in the name of fandom are), to connect those old grand Browns with these new sad ones, and the Browns reap all the benefits. Without that fanbase, the Browns are nothing. With it, they can be everything.
No one should care about these Cleveland Browns. With their old lousy Lerner family owners, with their new owner Jimmy Haslam, an optimistic guy trying to change things but a little saddled with, oh, a wide-ranging FBI investigation. With their nice but bland stadium. With their bad quarterback, with their wasting of an all-world left tackle and a potentially superstar running back. With their no home playoff games, with their no hope. There's no reason anyone should care enough to even expect to let down by the Browns.
But there they all are, 67,000 strong, filling the stands, putting this team before all else, making their last statement on this earth a self-deprecating joke about their stupid devotion to this stupid team. The Browns don't deserve the fans they have. But have them they do. Someday, God and Scott Entsminger willing, they'll actually do something with them. They'll actually make it all worth their while.
Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, follow me @williamfleitch or just shout out your window real loud, I'll hear you. Point is, let's talk.

|Dresses are Timothy Heller and Jared Ryan Maldonado.

The shy duo on stage are Timothy Heller and Jared Ryan Maldonado and they make up Portland's Dresses. Soft spoken and, I imagine, vegetarians (just kidding...unless they are), they make their music do the talking. Lush-pop that overflows with feels makes me want to run across a field of daisies if I wasn't too allergic to the darn flowers. Dresses, this night at The Troubadour, from the outset for their first song, I began to feel the allergic rash as I ran through that field in my mind. But aside from their fresh hooks, it's Timothy's unique playful vocals that is the highlight of this group.
Almost playing their new EP Sun Shy in its entirety, their songs, infectious melodies that are sun-kissed by Portland's ever-scarce and rare sunshine. Heck! They're from Portlandia - the land a recent survey called 'The Most Hipster-Friendly City in the Country'. So hipster that the front-woman has a guy's name. And the other? Two first names! Anyways, they're too cool to be my friends and I'm too shy to approach them. So I'll just admire them from afar and wish I was partying with them in their video below!

Laura Stevenson came on stage in a new 'do, joking that she resembled Justin Bieber before she dyed her hair a darker color. Sad songs of heartbreak and loneliness peppered her set, played on a bare stage with just her guitar and smooth and powerful voice. (I'd like to see Bieber do that! ). This was my first time seeing her. Loooooved her. Spotifying her right now as I write this. Reminds me of those early Woodstock-era singer/songwriter tunes in the day that my parents always listened too. Laura is an old soul, stuck and finding her way through this industry that's embracing the digital revolution. But it's still great to see artists like Laura still 'plugging' away and still playing music that really means something.

As police in Walnut Creek step up patrols of bars and nightclubs in an effort to prevent crime, city leaders voted Tuesday night to cut one popular downtown nightspot's hours.
The Walnut Creek City Council voted unanimously to deny an appeal from the owners of Lift Lounge and Grill that would have allowed the Locust Street business to continue operating until 12:30 a.m.
Instead, the council voted to roll back the bar and grill's hours by one hour for the next 90 days, after which time the business owners may re-apply to extend their hours.
The decision follows a nearly identical planning commission vote to scale back the bar and eatery's hours after a review of Lift Lounge and violations of the lounge's conditional use alcohol permit since the business launched in November 2009.
Since that time, police say they have received 80 calls for service at the bar and grill, mostly connected to drunken people leaving the business who cause a disturbance.
Other offenses police say occurred in connection to Lift Lounge during that time range from driving under the influence arrests to physical fights outside the building and one sexual assault inside the bar, according to Walnut Creek police Capt. Tim Schultz, who spoke at the Tuesday night hearing.
"I think the over-service of alcohol has led to a large number of the calls that may not otherwise exist," Schultz said.
Similar businesses downtown have had far fewer disturbance calls, he said.
And police, he said, are left to "deal with the fallout" from Lift Lounge patrons who start fights or urinate outside, although he said that type of behavior cannot be attributed solely to the bar.
David Bowie, an attorney representing Lift Lounge, said its owners should not be expected to police the area surrounding their business, where many of the public disturbances that police cite have occurred.
He and Lift Lounge's co-owner, Jasmine Butler, urged the council to grant the fledgling business another chance to comply with their conditional use permit.
Since the planning commission vote to cut the bar's hours two months ago, police have received just four calls for service there, Councilwoman Cindy Silva noted.
And for several Walnut Creek residents who spoke during the meeting, the bar and grill provides more than a safe, friendly environment -- it also fills a late-night niche in town that's an alternative to fast-food, according to about half a dozen speakers Tuesday night.
For 27-year-old Walnut Creek resident Noel Ronda, Lift Lounge is one of the rare local spots where she and her boyfriend can eat a meal and have a drink after a late-night movie.
John Muir Medical Center worker John Gainey, a Walnut Creek resident in his late 30s, told the council that after a 16-hour shift, Lift Lounge provides "food that's decent and not exorbitantly expensive."
After about three hours considering the appeal, the council nonetheless voted to slash the bar's hours.
The decision comes after the first weekend of beefed-up police patrols at Walnut Creek bars, meant to crack down rising numbers of fist fights and other disturbances around the city's nightspots in recent months.
Police Chief Joel Bryden said Tuesday that the additional police presence appears to have been successful, slashing numbers of arrests and disturbance calls over the weekend.

Our group assembled at the Airport's McDonalds at around 6pm, ready for check-in. We went inside to check-in, go back outside for a while, and then reenter the departure gate for immigration checks and proceed into the waiting room.
(Photo taken by Mr. Raymondus Kosala)
Waiting for a few minutes in there, we still got some time to take some picture of us before boarding into a Singapore Airlines' Boeing 777 aircraft departing to Changi, Singapore. About an hour and a half later, we arrived at Changi Airport. We directly proceed to the boarding gate for our next flight to Tokyo, which was on a Boeing 747. It was an approximately 6 and half an hour flight, during which I found myself hardly able to sleep at all.

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has been at the forefront of defending the freedom of conscience of employers from the Obama administration's abortion-pill mandate. Once again ADF is at the Supreme Court, this time representing five Christian universities, whose cases were consolidated with other similar cases, in Zubik v. Burwell. These universities object to providing abortion-inducing drugs through their healthcare plans because they believe in the sanctity of human life.
In 2012, the Obama administration required many employee and student health plans to cover "all FDA-approved contraceptives," including some that can cause abortions. If a plan sponsor refused to comply, it would face crippling IRS fines.
A number of religious business owners challenged the mandate and prevailed at the U.S. Supreme Court in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties v. Burwell in 2014. The administration created an alternative method of complying with the mandate for non-profit religious organizations that objected to providing contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs and devices as part of their employee and student healthcare coverage. The administration claimed it was addressing religious organizations' moral objections.
But it did not. The so-called "accommodation" still gives access to the objectionable drugs and devices through the employer's insurers and third party administrators – the very thing these employers object to. And this alternate compliance mechanism requires the active participation of religious employers in the scheme to provide abortion pills.
Learn more about how Geneva College, Southern Nazarene University, and other Christian colleges are standing up for the unborn by standing against the abortion-pill mandate.
It's the freedom to live out your faith in every area of your life. When the conflict is between real freedoms named in the First Amendment and a fictional "right" to receive abortion pills paid for by someone else, freedom must win.

sunday 6/25/2017 CALL TO ACTIVISM FOR DEMOCRACY!
cruel and in secret: the senate health care bill is a tragic disaster.
"One of the key ways the Senate bill differs from the House bill is it takes the already severe cuts to Medicaid and goes further. Both bills indicate they may shift to what's called a "per capita cap." This would be a fundamental change to how our country finances Medicaid, a system where both the federal government and the states provide the money to care for those enrolled.
Currently, Medicaid is funded at the federal level according to the rise and fall of the cost of providing care. In other words, if the cost of nursing home care goes up, so does Medicaid funding, and there's no limit on what the federal government contributes. A per-capita cap takes away that flexibility. Funding is determined and increased by a pre-specified amount, regardless of whether the state is required to spend more money to cover the rising cost of care. This means states would have to pick up the slack in coverage, which gives them incentives to restrict benefits and eligibility for enrollees who require that high-cost care.
But the Senate bill would allow annual spending on Medicaid to grow even more slowly than the House bill, meaning the cuts would be even steeper. Along with these proposed cuts in Medicaid comes the ending of the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, which allowed all people below a certain income level to enroll in Medicaid and gave 14 million poor, disabled, and elderly people access to Medicaid services."

trump's hotel script
Hello, my name is [NAME HERE] and I am a resident of [YOUR STATE]. I am calling my representative because I am worried the Senate healthcare bill will pass with even more decreases for Medicaid than the House Bill. A per-capita cap will take away flexibility and states will have to pick up the slack in coverage, which gives them incentives to restrict benefits and eligibility for enrollees who require that high-cost care.
Arguably, the people these cuts would hit the worst are the disabled and the elderly. Medicaid currently covers 30 percent of all adults with disabilities and 60 percent of children with disabilities. While disabled and elderly individuals make up a minority of Medicaid enrollment, they require a majority of Medicaid spending – about 63 percentgoes toward disability and age-related care. People with disabilities could lose access to therapies and services, mobility aids, medical services provided in public schools, and in-home care, which allows them to live more independently and stay out of institutional care.*
This bill was drafted under the cover of darkness and the American people need more time to learn about what is in it. Please do not hurt America by supporting this bill.

Simple NiCd Charger
A simple NiCd charger can be built using 'junk box' components and an inexpensive LM317 or 78xx voltage regulator. Using a current limiter composed of R3 and a transistor, it can charge as many cells as desired until a 'fully charged' voltage determined by the voltage regulator is reached, and it indicates whether it is charging or has reached the fully charged state. If the storage capacitor (C1) is omitted, pulsed charging takes place. In this mode, a higher charging current can be used, with all of the control characteristics remaining the same.

Saying "I love you'' doesn't erase the old scars and fears."I love you to insanity. I'm not even sure if it's a good thing.'' — DukeSkye is trying to overcome what happened with Sean. Now that she's slowly healing, both physically and mentally, she's determined to do something she should have done sooner. She's meeting twice a week with a new, very young therapist, Dr. Marshall. There, she's able to talk freely, unwind, and question things. Most of the sessions she talks about herself and her hangups, along with her relationship with Duke, which is still on rocky ground."I want to taste his sweat. I want to hear his groans. I want to feel him inside of me.'' — SkyeBut while Skye is slowly getting back on her feet, Duke feels like he's drowning. He's afraid of pushing her too much, of initiating intimacy, and it's weighing between them. Moreover, knowing that he's not the one she's talking to anymore is making him feel things he never thought possible."It's a matter of when I'll stop fighting." — DukeAs days pass, Duke is showing over and over how vulnerable he truly is and how Skye has more power over him than she ever imagined. When Skye sees how they keep hurting each other, she's determined to do everything in her power to make things right, no matter what the cost. But one thing is still sure; she can count on Duke whenever she needs him, even if they disagree and fight. When Duke loves, he loves with everything he's made of, the good and the bad."Loving her is confusing, making me afraid of myself and what I can do ... because I can break us both." — Duke

(Linked to my review)
* I was provided an eARC by the author in exchange of an honest review.
This is a really good sequel. The writing is still as entertaining as ever and I can almost sense this sequel begging to be written. It wasn't a forced continuation. This story just HAD to be told.
Sky is as good as she can be after the finale in Book #1. I like how it showed her trying to deal with her problems because the truth is no one, after having gone through a traumatic events, wants to willingly rehash all those events out and how they made them feel to a psychiatrist (AKA a complete stranger.
Duke. I was reading through reviews for this book just to get a sense of where I stood in relation to all the other people how have read this book and I found this amazing quote that describes my feelings for Duke exactly from Debbie (her review here): "[...] I wished we'd heard from Duke [in the first book] . Well, here you do and I take it back. Its too painful, Duke's unravelling runs parallel to Skye's recovery. He knows what he is doing is destructive, to himself, to Skye and to their relationship but he cant stop himself."
Conclusion: This was a very nice ending to Sky & Duke's story.
My Favorite Quotes:
"Life is a b*tch, I should know this by now."
"It's not love that hurts, Kate. It's people."
"Loving me is not a synonym for saving me."
My Rating:

Bobby Long – Album #3 … Done
Chris Eaton – #1 Christmas iTunes
Our end-of-year musical adventure … in late October our long-term pal and songwriter extraordinaire Chris Eaton presented a song he wrote in commemoration of WW1 to the RAF Benevolent Fund. They loved it and a plan was hatched to put it out for Christmas to raise funds for the 3 main services charities – RAFBF, RNRMC and ABF The Soldiers' Charity. There was no label as such, just the team at the charity, renowned plugger Jeff Chegwin and propermusic.com Distribution. The end result … appearances on BBC Breakfast and Sky News; all over BBC Radio 2 (B List then A List) and BBC radio and TV regionally; #1 iTunes Christmas songs; 140,000 YouTube views; and £££s and profile raised for the best possible cause. It just shows what a great song and a small bunch of totally committed individuals can achieve. Here ya go – https://itunes.apple.com/…/1914-carol-christmas…/id944235108
Moxie – Movies and Musical Moxhem
The Adventure Travel Trade Association has used Moxie's music in 5 of the films in their Ireland Is An Adventure series. Those crazy Moxsters dip their toes into 2015 with their debut appearance at Celtic Connections, Glasgow on 24th January. Then it's off for a 3-week run of shows in Austria. We say make a date to see a young band on its way to greatness.

Voyages SNCF has bought UK-based pan-European rail booking service Loco2for an undisclosed sum.
Loco2 will continue to operate as a standalone brand with its co-founders, Kate and Jamie Andrews, staying with the business.
Compared with its peers in the rail booking space, Loco2 has received only modest levels of funding, tapping family, friends and angel investors rather than taking the private equity or venture capital route. Jamie Andrews noted that it has raised £1.8 million since launch and that the sale to Voyages SNCF represents "a healthy return for [Loco2] investors".
Voyages-SNCF.com is owned by the French rail operator SNCF and is a de facto online travel agent, one of the biggest in France. It has seven other country-specific sites, selling European rail tickets and passes, hotels, attractions and tours and activities, either standalone or as a package. SNCF has worked with Loco2 since 2012 and was the first rail operator to sell inventory through Loco2.

Last week we kegged our second draught offering: Sat on Rhubarb.
The base beer blend was made in April and is similar to Running beer, however this time it is:
– 1/3 nine month old golden sour
– 2/3 five month old rye sour
Again, both batches are completely fermented with our house culture of wild yeasts and bacteria from the local area.
It was quite a clean tasting blend, with a soft acidity and fairly subdued wild yeast aromatics. Having wanted to start a series of seasonal fruited beers, we decided the addition of rhubarb would complement and enhance the character of the blend.
Helped by a tweet from the Salutation, we made a plea to the local community for rhubarb. They seriously delivered. We received a great variety (and amount) from gardens and allotments in Gloucestershire – over 40 kg in total, once topped and tailed. Gen never wants to see another stick of the stuff after chopping and washing each by hand for what seemed like 3 days solid.
Having already made the blend, our only option was to then feed each piece into a 1 inch hole on top of the tank… not to be repeated.
Two months later the yeast and bacteria had eaten through the sugars from the now discoloured rhubarb and we were ready to keg. The finished beer has matured very well; taking on subtle rhubarb aromatics, as well as an enhanced wild yeast character and more complex acidity from the malic acid in the rhubarb stalks.
Now we are just waiting for condition to build and the abv analysis to come back from the lab, then the beer will be out and about.
Below is another wonderful painting from Gen's dad Martin, which will be adorning the keg badges.

WINDSOR, Conn. – The floodwaters may have receded months ago, but mold and mildew – dormant during the winter months -- may reappear in water-damaged homes as the weather warms.
Mold only grows in warm, wet conditions and may have been inactive and unnoticed during the winter months. It can lurk throughout a home, from the attic to the basement and crawl spaces.
State and federal disaster recovery officials warn that mold can cause serious, long-term health problems. The best defense is to thoroughly clean, disinfect, and dry areas where mold is found. Porous materials—things that absorb water—can trap mold forever and should be discarded.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone avoid unnecessary exposure to mold, especially anyone at high risk for infection. For more information on mold or mold cleanup visit their website. (También disponible en español)
The Environmental Protection Agency offers a comprehensive, 20-page guide, "Mold, Moisture and Your Home" (También disponible en español)

Read a Q&A with Robin
Check out the book club guide
"This stunning mystery is set back in 1879, when New York's capital city is hit by a blizzard that buries the parents of 10-year-old Emma and 7-year-old Claire and hurls the girls into the streets.... Oliveira writes with feeling about social issues like abortion and prostitution, and her grasp of causes like women's suffrage is firm."
—The New York Times
"Oliveira's beautiful, expertly researched novel showcases the lives of women overcoming societal constraints and living fearlessly."
—Publishers Weekly
"...a multifaceted and affecting portrait of courage."
"Oliveira crafts a complex, multifaceted historical novel that is both a captivating story and a commentary on the laws that have, for far too long, oppressed and endangered women...Entertaining at times, deeply political at others; a perfect example of a historical novel that also illuminates present-day issues."
—Starred Kirkus Review
"[An] engrossing story of unspeakable crime and unbreakable love . . . propelled by feminist themes that feel utterly timely."
—People, "The Best New Books"
"Oliveira blends mystery, historical detail, and courtroom drama in a compelling story that will please most historical fiction fans..."
—Library Journal
"The real charm of Winter Sisters is the story of family, love, and perseverance, and the commentary on how women were and still are treated in society. . . . Populated with strong female characters and an oft-lyrical prose, this is a definite must read."
—The Historical Novels Review
"Robin Oliveira has a remarkable gift for bringing the past to life..."
—Lauren Belfer, New York Times bestselling author of City of Light, A Fierce Radiance, and And After the Fire
"I've long been a fan of Robin Oliveira's work, and Winter Sisters only increases my admiration."
—Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling author of Serena
"As always in Robin Oliveira's novels, it's the women who provide the heartbeat and the moral compass in this gripping tale of suspense. This is a book as thrilling as it is poetic."
—Melanie Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Swans of Fifth Avenue
"An exquisitely layered story...Suspenseful and beautifully written, shot through with wisdom and grace, this is a book you will stay up late for..."
—Dawn Tripp, bestselling author of Georgia
"A true tour de force, Winter Sisters is the best period thriller I've read since The Alienist. Robin Oliveira is...working at the height of her powers."
—Thomas Christopher Greene, author of The Headmaster's Wife and If I Forget You
"Winter Sisters had me cheering, cursing, gasping, and sneaking off to read whenever time permitted. An absolutely enthralling read."
—Julie Barton, New York Times bestselling author of Dog Medicine
"A haunting tale of terror and enduring love, Winter Sisters is tense and vivid. It kept me immersed to the last page."
—Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank, Under the Wide and Starry Sky

Labrador now favors term limits
Wed., Sept. 28, 2011
BOISE – Freshman Congressman Raul Labrador says after serving in the U.S. House of Representatives and seeing what it's really like, he's changed his mind and now supports term limits.
"This is actually an area where I have changed in the last eight months. I believe that we need term limits in politics, especially congressional politics," Labrador told the City Club of Boise on Tuesday. "I have been very disappointed being back in Washington, D.C., where I have heard people actually voice openly that the reason they're not making the tough decisions that we have to make, that they know we have to make for this nation, is because they're worried about the next election."
He said, "It's really a shame … All decisions back in Washington, D.C., are based on whether you're going to be elected, re-elected, whether you're going to be in the majority or not."
Labrador, an opponent of term limits before he was elected to Congress in an upset victory last year, said he now also supports term limits for Idaho state elective offices, from the state Legislature to governor.
However, he said he won't unilaterally impose term limits on himself without them applying to everyone in Congress. "I think that hurts you as a congressman," he said. "But I am going to start advocating for term limits."
Labrador told The Spokesman-Review that he was contemplating a self-imposed limit, but the daughter of the late Idaho Rep. Helen Chenoweth, who voluntarily limited herself to three terms in Congress, "just begged me, 'do not self-impose,' " Labrador said. "She always regretted it."
Chenoweth represented Idaho's 1st District, the same district in which Labrador now serves.
The former Idaho state representative and attorney said he now favors a limit of 10 or 12 years in office, whether for congressional or state offices. For U.S. representatives who serve two-year terms, that would be five or six terms.
"I think if you can't get something done in 10 or 12 years, maybe you shouldn't be there," Labrador said. Labrador said he hadn't informed his former colleagues in the Idaho Legislature, who are term limits opponents, of his change of heart. "They're going to be mad at me," he said.

An excerpt from Dust of the Dead:
It's been ten years since the dead came back to life. Things aren't like they were in all the zombie books, movies, and TV shows. There weren't really independent bands of rogues battling it out. Things never really got too traditionally post-apocalyptic in that way. Instead, it was more like the world went into lock down. The best way I can describe it is that we all had curfews, and it was like living in the bad part of the city, no matter where you went in the city. You had to be mindful. You had to keep a look out over your shoulder. One of the undead might spring out from behind a car or dumpster. But there weren't hordes of them. Well, that's not true. There were, but they were mostly gathered at cemeteries. And really? They pretty much stuck inside, and with their own. Most were too confused, or too stupid, to go much farther than from where they'd found themselves. That made them easy to take care of. That was what the Reclamation crews were for. Man, that was a bad job. Most of the time, their main gig was to go into cemeteries, dig up the newly reanimated dead, who were still stuck in their coffins, and put them out of their misery, for what everyone hoped, was the last time. Reclaim them as dead. That's where I came in.
I remember driving around Burbank Boulevard, and everything seemed just as normal as ever. The world had changed, but life chugged along. People returned to being horrible, self-centered, and narcissistic. They were cutting each other off, trying to get ahead, rushing up to the next red light, and cutting everybody off they could. Humanity at its finest. Me-first-gimme-gimme, and that whole short-sided attitude. After all we were going through, all the selfish bastards kept on being selfish. Looking back? I'm not surprised, though. Thanks to the Reclamation Crews, the world had gone back to normal, other than an occasional Zom popping out. Those attacks were far and few between. They weren't even considered attacks anymore. Not like when they first came back.
For the first two years, the undead were hungry. They were just as nasty as all the books and movies told us they were. They bit people; those people changed, then those bit more people. Everyone got scared. There was an out, though. What nobody expected was that when the undead aged, their bodies turned hard, and they lost a lot of mobility. Their muscles toughened. Their skin dried. They were a lot like mummies. Most of them? They weren't really able to live very long after they were reanimated. Some did, but they weren't the danger they'd originally been. Those undead that lasted? We all stopped believing they were a threat after a while.
We were wrong.
There was a big press announcement from the White House. There was some big scientist that told the world that nature would soon take over. Undead people attracted all sorts of natural predators. Flies. Maggots. Birds. Crows. Wild dogs. Bears. She told us that their actual tissue wouldn't survive more than a few weeks before they'd decompose into nothing. Even if they did last that long, she said, bacteria would break down the body and take them down.
All we had to do was wait.
We did.
She was wrong.
Flies wanted nothing to do with the undead. Neither did any wild animals. The undead flesh seemed resistant to bacteria and mold, all due to some strange evolutionary thread within them, those that should've known guessed. No one was quite sure of the precise details. The undead did, however, begin to dry out after a time, as predicted. Their skin, in most cases, became less pliable. The things dried out.
There were so many biological uncertainties. How could it physically be possible for the dead to reanimate? How could their bodies re-charge and process food again? Their circulatory systems seemed to work, although much more slowly than a normal person's. They had significant brain function. Their hearts pumped. Several scientific teams captured undead specimens and studied them. The undead ate. They processed food, and it wasn't just the brains of the living. That turned out not to be true. Most of them didn't want to eat us, just kill us. Mortal jealousy. Many wanted to re-join us, and somehow rejoin their former lives.
Those who were well preserved, or recently deceased, fared much better. They often had memories of their lives, and the people and places they'd known. But they were different–think rabid animals. They were extremely dangerous, like dogs that'd been abused too much. They'd turn on loved ones foolish enough to harbor them. Things went south quickly. Uncle Bill would be sitting on the couch, quite, and drooling on himself, mumbling, and then little George would run past, and Uncle Bill would be on him, tearing the little boy to pieces.
Not pretty.
So that's when the Reclamation Crew got started. It was work no one wanted. Families were never happy seeing us come. Rarely were we welcomed without hostility. They all held out hope there'd be some kind of cure, some day, some type of way to bring their loved ones back to the way they loved and remembered. But there wasn't. They'd died, and there was some kind of abomination that was making them come back, extending their stay on this green planet just a little bit more than should be.
We aimed to fix that–send them back on their way to the great unknown. Reclaim them for the afterlife, as it was supposed to be.

"Someday you'll burn for me, Mrs. Lonestar. You'll want me as much as I want you. You'll ask me to put out the fires raging through your body and I'll gladly oblige."
OMG I LOVED THIS BOOK! Now that's not a very professional review! I've got to do better! How about, THIS BOOK IS FREAKING AMAZING AND I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! Uh, nope. Ok, let's try this again…
Augusta Horton has lived a rough life growing up with no mother and a drunkard for a father. When she sees an opportunity to escape via a mail order bride ad, she jumps at the chance at finally achieving the dream of having her own home. But, as luck would have it, her dream is shattered—a drunk and a liar placed the ad. Augusta is not one to jump from the frying pan into the fire, so she is determined to pull on her big girl pants, and find a way to make a life in this new town.
Max Lonestar is in desperate need of a wife. If he does not marry ASAP, his dream of owning the neighboring farm will revert to his rival. Seeing the plight Augusta is in, he offers her the chance to make a go at being his wife and helping him farm the land. Lonestar even gives her an out if after a year she's not happy, she can leave.
Lonestar and Augusta have both come from a hard past—life has not been kind to them, but after saying "I Do", they see how well they work together…and perhaps how much they could grow to love one another…
Deborah Camp has weaved a romance as beautiful as the western landscape set as the story's background. Lonestar is the hero we all dream about…"This man. This beautiful, kind-hearted man belonged to her. In her wildest dreams, she could not have imagined it. But here she was, and this was not a dream."
I'm so in love with these characters, and I highly recommend Lonestar's Lady!
My fav quote:
"Time is a yardstick we can't see, so you'd better live each day as if it's your last – your final legacy and how you'll be remembered."

Solitary Horseman

Amazon Digital Publishing
Banner Payne and her family are considered to be trash in her small Texas town. She has her pride, and it hurts to have to go to her neighbor, Callum Latimer, for help. But she can no longer afford to run her ranch with few hands and disappearing cattle. She asks Callum if he would buy her spread, as she'd rather he buy it than the Yankee who's been offering to buy.
Callum can't afford to do as Banner asks, but he can make a deal: He'll help her with her cattle if she'll cook and care for his ailing father Seth. She takes the deal and things work well, even though Seth is cantankerous and sometimes hateful. But there are rumblings of discontent in town.
Yankees, freed slaves, and Indians are perceived as threats, and the locals want them gone...by any means necessary.
The origins of the Ku Klux Klan are explored in this tale. The subject matter can be uncomfortable, but the story comes alive in Deborah Camp's capable hands. Callum and Banner make for a compelling couple, and the secondary characters also shine.

Through His Touch
Deborah Camp
Psychic Leviticus Wolfe returned home after a very successful trip to the Keys, found a killer and met the woman of his dreams, Trudy Tucker, who was also gifted with the sight. Shock and disbelief slammed him in the face when a woman presented herself in his penthouse posing as Trudy.
Security arrived quickly and managed to subdue the trespasser. This unbalanced woman was able to get past his private security and living in his home while he was gone put him in a place he did not like, feeling off kilter and violated.
Long distant relationships were hard for everyone, but Trudy knew something wasn't right with Levi. She wasn't sure if it was because he had never been in a committed relationship or if something else was going on in his life. He backed out of plans to come see her in Oklahoma for his birthday. Trudy decided to fly to Atlanta and surprise him. Levi had mixed feelings. He was happy she was there but did not want her in Atlanta because his stalker had escaped from the facility. By being in Atlanta, Trudy put herself in danger.
Grab plenty to drink and snack on, get in your comfies, and enjoy the ride. Through His Touch is a fast paced, don't put down, and don't want to miss a thing romantic suspense.

Through His Eyes

E book
Trudy Tucker is a psychic who can connect mentally with serial killers as they do their grisly work. She works with the police to help them, though they are often understandably skeptical of her unusual gift. Now her mentor Quintara wants her to come to Key West to find a most baffling and alarming killer. But there is a catch--she must work with Levi Wolfe, a highly successful psychic who has the manner of a showman at times.
Trudy goes to Key West, but she is clearly resistant to Levi's charms, even when he makes it clear he would love to sleep with her. She is wary of his showy persona and put off by the fact that he has a spirit guide to help him with his cases. Once she relaxes a little, their complementary talents work together. While she gains insight, however traumatizing, though the killer, Levi communicates with the murder victims. But as their work progresses, however slowly, pleasure is more of a challenge, as they each have issues to work through.
Deborah Camp's latest is a contemporary psychic romantic suspense. While some of the more vulgar language feels like it's added for shock value, the plotting itself is solid. Some readers will figure out clues more quickly than the protagonists, but no one will be bored. However, be warned that the tale ends on an unfinished thread, teasing future tales featuring these characters.

More soldiers, tanks necessary to fight Taliban: Ottawa
Canada will send between 200 and 500 additional soldiers and a squadron of Leopard tanks to Afghanistan to battle resurgent Taliban fighters, the Canadian government said Friday.
The extra soldiers and equipment are "a necessary response to the Taliban,"the Department of National Defence said in a release.
The department said it will add aninfantry company from Quebec's Royal 22nd Regiment, the Van Doos, 15 Leopard tanks basedin Edmonton and armoured engineering vehicles called Badgers to help with rebuilding projects.
Four tanks will be shipped by air to Afghanistan as quickly as possible, Gen. Rick Hillier, the chief of defence staff, told reporters. The tanks will help battle the Taliban, which has changed its tactics and been fighting more conventional battles.
The reinforcements will raise the total number of soldiers to about 2,500.
The department's newsrelease said there are currently"more than 2,000 members of the Canadian Forces" in Afghanistan. However, military officials say the number is closer to 2,300, adding that the number of soldiers in the country fluctuates constantly.
NATO's top priority
ANATO meeting last week determined that rebuilding Afghanistan is the alliance'stop priority, Hillier said.
He added that the new forces will provide "a real boost" to the provincial reconstruction team (PRT),which is working to improve the lives of the population.
The additional soldiers and equipment "will help secure the region around Kandahar,"theDefence Department release said. The Taliban has been resisting Canadian efforts to re-establish the Afghanistan government's authority in the area.
The release said the "small increase in personnel and equipment" will help Task Force Afghanistan "dramatically multiply its opportunities to secure and stabilize the region."
Military engineers will be sent tohelpCanada's provincial reconstruction team to rebuild and develop projects, while a "counter-mortar capability" will be used to findTaliban mortar sitesso that the sitescan be neutralized.
The Taliban is using mortars and rocketsto attack Canada's bases.
Decision on more NATO forces at end of month
Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor said just a week ago that Canada had done more than its share in Afghanistan. He made the commentafter NATO called for another 2,500 soldiers because the Taliban attacks have been so fierce.
NATO leaders met last weekend, but there were no firm commitments of more forces.A final decision will be made at a NATO meeting set for the end of September.
At the time, O'Connor said no one had asked Canada for more soldiers."I've asked our military staff to look at our situation in Kandahar to make sure we have the right balance and right forces," he said.
On Friday, the department saidthe reinforcements were requested by Brig.-Gen. David Fraser, commander of the Canadian forces in Afghanistan.
Canadianskilled in Afghanistan since 2002include 32 soldiers anda diplomat. Most of the casualties occurred in 2006.

"Listen Up Philip" is a literarylook at the triumph of reality over the human spirit. Anger rages in Philip (Jason Schwartzman, Rushmore, The Grand Budapest Hotel) as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel. He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men, The One I Love), and his indifference to promoting his own work. When Philip's idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce, Brazil, Pirates of the Caribbean) offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject — himself.

Moving Out of the Friend Zone: Should You Take the Relationship to the Next Level?
Falling in love with a friend can be one of the most exciting, frightening, uplifting and confusing experiences. The deep connection that is so important in a romantic partner may already be present in a good friendship. All of these emotions stem from the fear of losing a close friend and the fear of potentially refraining from confessing feelings to someone who could be a significant other for a lifetime.
There's a lot to gain and a lot to lose. If you're falling in love with your best friend, you're probably clueless about the best course of action.
For a start, you may want to sit down and take a deep breath. Analyzing your own emotions is very important because you can otherwise commit one of the biggest mistakes in your life.
Are You Really in Love?
An honest, committed and exciting friendship can easily bring those butterflies that will make you mistake the emotion with love. Are you really in love with your best friend? You may want to take a step back and think about those emotions before having the conversation.
There's a difference between friendship attraction and romantic attraction.
Friendship attraction is a very strong liking that doesn't have a sexual component. The sexual desire may develop in time but originally, it's not there. You enjoy spending time together but you don't feel a physical urge, the chemistry and desire to move away from the platonic level of connecting with each other.
There are a lot of factors that go into choosing a relationship. Romantic attraction isn't just sexual attraction. This type of attraction brings together friendship and physical attraction. It's all-encompassing and this is the scenario in which we can speak about love.
Take some time to figure out where you stand right now. It's possible to experience physical attraction towards a friend and it's possible for the attraction to be short-lived. This type of physical attraction is normal but it doesn't come with a romantic component. Whether you're going to act on this urge and become "friends with benefits" depends on both of you. Many people refrain from acting on the impulse because they don't want to ruin the friendship.
If you find yourself thinking about a friend all the time, wondering what it would be to have a relationship with that person and to build a future together, chances are that you're experiencing romantic attachment.
Now What?
You may want to ask yourself a couple of important questions before telling your friend anything about the feelings you have.
Taking the Relationship to the Next Level
If you're 100 percent confident that you're in love with your best friend, you'll have to gather up the courage and confess those feelings.
It's possible to become something more than friends but you'll have to take a chance. Once again, don't rush it. You could be mistaking a certain type of attraction with something much more serious. Think about it, explore your emotions and if you're certain – go ahead!

Fans of the Pokemon Go app supply their tips about how you can master the sport on #TalkingTech with Jefferson Graham. I've not too long ago switched to Tom Merritt's new show Daily Tech News Show and it jogs my memory plenty of the way TNT used to be. I may check in on TNT from time to time and see if issues have changed, but as it is proper now there's now manner I can listen to this day by day.
But for the host to say their new logo design system is best than hiring knowledgeable designer is overboard. Register today and obtain free access to all our information and resources and the power to customise your news by topic with My eSchool News. This week's What's Cool in Tech looks at video editing, synthetic intelligence, discovering a brand new climbing trial and a new solution to retailer your stuff.
Mike is a good man who was simply put in a really awkward scenario that he had no involvement in and I assume heâs proving himself as a great rent at TWiT now that heâs been allowed to settle in. Final bids for the company's internet enterprise were expected Monday, however no information came out of the company's fiscal second-quarter earnings. We look again at Tech's role within the 1996 Olympics as Home of the Olympic Village, and the way internet hosting the Games changed Georgia Tech perpetually.
For some reason, he has taken show that was meant to interact strongly with its listeners and turned it into a simple information supply gadget.Furthermore, Mike E is incessantly poorly knowledgeable and insulting in direction of tech issues. Like others who have left feedback here, I was taken off guard by the sudden change in hosts and format.
Google has distributed with the Chrome app launcher for Windows, Mac and Linux, a information that's being greeted with mixed reactions. Tomâs new âDaily Tech New Showâ has turn out to be my goto tech podcast, undoubtedly worth trying out. Leo ought to have been able to find some kind of balance to maintain Tom as part of this crew and construct on it. I am so disappointed I am actually walking from TWIT fully. The quality of twit reveals have gone down over the past 2 years I have long unsubstantiated from all twit show.

Comfortable on your current cycle but craving cartage capacity? A trailer from Green Machine Cycles might be the answer. Stop in to try the Cycletote, B.O.B., or Surly Bill trailers. Yeah, we said try. We'll hook 'em up to your bike and throw some payload on top for the full hauling experience. We won't ask you run errands for us. Promise.
Cycletote is made in lovely Fort Collins, CO. We just got one of these puppies here at the shop, and boy is she slick. Super light for the carrying capacity, it can use whatever spare front wheels you happen to have. Cool! It's easy to wheel around off the bike and easy to tow on the bike. Speaking of puppies, they make kits for carrying dogs, kids, landscaping equipment, whatever. Top notch.

Provocative Global Warming Rug Creates a Stir in the Blogosphere
Images: NEL.com.mx
This little boy looks like he might be blogging over spilled milk, in fact he's concerned about the future of his environment. The Global Warming Rug by Mexican design cooperative NEL, featuring Emiliano Godoy, has created quite a stir in the blogosphere over the last few months after it was shown at the Valencia furniture fair in August last year. The evocative imagery of a young boy with a laptop in front a rug depicting a lone polar bear on a ever shrinking ice floe has prompted various reactions...
TreeHugger picked this design up briefly in August via Hugg, but since then many others have weighed in with their opinions:
While Dezeen stuck to the PR release, Inhabitots thought it was "a great conversation piece" for a child's room, GreenUpgrader described it as "a creative reminder of the polar bears plight", but Green Daily found the rug qualified as "depressing decor" that "evokes images of the apocalypse".
Our favourite however was Josh Spear who said he'd chose this rug for a children's nursery themed "Animals Our Children Will Never See". Spear then goes off on a tangent that somehow involves the Coen Brothers:
"They surely intended this to be a Big Lebowski environmental metaphor: you see, the carbon-spewing corporations, those are the "carpet pissers." Society is like the Dude, who just wanted his rug back. And Al Gore? We'd like him to be Walter, but see him as more of a Donny." Ha ha....
What TreeHugger loves most about this carpet, produced for Spanish carpet company Nanimarquina, is that it is provocative. Graphically it's beautifully simple, but conceptually it evokes many connotations, from the traditional bear rug to the child's cuddly toy via an endangered species. And we can't help but enjoy the perverse paradoxical imagery of a polar bear on a melting ice floe in the middle of the sea keeping you warm as you sit by your living room fire.

After a promising year, Hows Harry are back with new material. Having gained a great live reputation in the capital and further afield, they look to transfer that hype and live 'swagger' onto record, as they began doing with last single '26'.
Hows Harry's latest release 'Indicate Your Mind' defines just why the 4-piece have gained the aforementioned suitors nationwide in recent times. Oozing with attitude, heavy bass-lines and their own unique brand of dark-pop, 'Indicate Your Mind' is seemingly an alluring and insightful look into the aspirations of a night out (to put it nicely). Hypnotic and catchy are just two of the words to describe a song we've had on repeat since its release.
Hows Harry are back at Club CloseUp on December 14th, supporting Wildhood. Having absolutely smashed their last set, expect more of the same when they hit our Hoxton stage next month.

You Can't Help The Poor
I recently heard a person make the following statement:
"You can't help the poor – if you're one of them!"
WOW! Think about it for a few moments, and you will realize that this is a powerful statement.
It is very difficult to help others when you are broke! When one is poor, most of their time and effort is consumed with providing for basic needs like food, shelter, clothing, and utilities. It becomes extremely difficult to be able to help those around you who are in need in a financial manner. Guess what? Nearly all help rolls back to financial help.
- Want to provide food/clothing/shelter to the poor? That usually takes money.
- Want to provide education to the poor? That usually takes money.
- Want to provide health care, medical, and dental services to the poor? That usually takes money.
- Want to educate the well-off about the plight of the poor? That usually takes money.
- Want to serve the poor? That usually takes time and money.
Are you in position RIGHT NOW to help the poor?
2 Comments
Can't say I agree with you here… because if the statement is True, then it sounds as if poor people should wait around until someone with money gives them some!
What do poor people Have that can be put to use for others?
Want to help someone poor get to a job interview, then drive them!
If I have arthritis and can no longer type to write articles, or program a computer, or perform small engine repair, then maybe I can teach another poor person to do this.
Or maybe while at home I watch my neighbor's kids on their first days back to work.
We can ALL help where we are.
[see Romans 12:4-8 for clarification.]
Time and money are not the cost of life, sometimes it is simply putting forth effort.
I will have to disagree with this post. I lead a ministry planting churches among the global poor and my experience is the opposite. First, I see the desperately poor daily giving sacrificialy of their time, talent, and treasure. Second, your argument assumes that the primary issue of poverty is a lack of material goods; when in reality the biggest issue is broken relationships and their results. Third, while very wealthy in comparison to the world, very few Americans consider themselves as wealthy and routinely use your argument to justify turning a blind eye to the suffering of billions of people. The reality is that we are called to live simply in order that we can invest generously in the Kingdom of God. We often feel that we can't afford to help the poor because we choose not to live simple lives, but rather seek to live the American Dream

Being competitive is not something that can be taught. Most athletes were born with this competitive edge or developed it over time as they grew up in their respective sports. It is something that drives us to find a way to be successful, no matter what adversity we face. This is just one of many reasons why athletes have been and will continue to be very successful when entering the work force after their days of playing are done. Athletes know and understand the process of things; that practice makes your performance better and that things are not given to you if you don't work hard for them. They welcome a challenge and very seldom back down from one. They have experienced failure and know how to handle it and move forward. Although the initial transition from the field to the office will be completely new, most athletes, because of their competitive nature, will not only make it work but will succeed. Being competitive is a trait that is transferable from the court/field into the office, and it is an invaluable trait to have. So, for all of the athletes out there who are soon to enter the office, embrace your competitive nature, welcome the new task ahead, and be confident in what you have learned through your sport.

I live in the Seattle area and would love to meet you while on the PCT. I'll be your "Angel" if our schedules coincide. As you get into Washington, contact me.
You don't know what you've got till it's gone….in the old days I can remember being glad just to see someone else on the trail, anyone! But with the popularity of the Trail these days it is difficult to find the peaceful quiet of being with yourself. The AT hasn't always been a purely social experience, it was once a communion with nature…an experience with solitude, an escape from the nonsense of life. Not saying that the AT experience today is not still fabulous, it is, only that it is different. People slog along with their heads down, ear plugs in blasting away the latest play list, destroying the sounds of silence. From town to town, from shelter to shelter, from zero to zero,from party to party. Pushing to make "big miles" day after day it seems that many people miss too much of what the AT really is….a wilderness adventure. Have we become so involved with what other people think of us or we of them that we have methods of dodging or ditching others without hurting their feelings? If you are afraid of being alone, stay home. If you judge others by appearances or attitude and seek only people that believe as you do, stay home. If my comment offends you, I apologize.
I would just say that I came on this trail to get my mind and life sorted out and I need to do it alone if it's okay with them.

The FBI named the 499th and 500th fugitives to the new edition of its 'Ten Most Wanted' list. NBC's Mike Kosnar reports on how the FBI uses media and public support to capture the world's most dangerous criminals.
Walter Lee Williams, a former university professor, is wanted for the alleged sexual exploitation of children and traveling abroad for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual acts with children.
A list that has included notorious names such as James Earl Ray, Ted Bundy, Whitey Bulger and Osama bin Laden reached a milestone Monday.
With the addition of an alleged child rapist and an alleged killer, The FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list has now included 500 fugitives.
The latest additions fill vacancies created this spring with the capture and surrender of two fugitives.
Jose Manuel Garcia Guevara allegedly murdered a 26-year-old woman in the presence of her four-year-old stepson in Lake Charles, La., in 2008.
"These individuals are a dangerous menace to society," said Ron Hosko of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division in a news release. "That's what got criminals on the Top 10 list 63 years ago, and that's why we put them on the list today."
Jose Manuel Garcia Guevara, the 499th fugitive on the Top 10 list, allegedly raped and stabbed a 26-year-old woman in Louisiana in front of her 4-year-old stepson, according to an FBI news release. He is wanted for fleeing the crime to avoid being prosecuted. Authorities think he may have fled to Mexico.
Walter Lee Williams, the 500th person on the list, allegedly engaged in sexual acts with children both domestically and abroad. He is a former university professor with ties to Southeast Asia.
Launched in 1950, the FBI's most-wanted program has a 94 percent success rate. Only eight of the 500 fugitives on the list have been women, according to the FBI.
One man, Billy Austin Bryant, spent only two hours on the list before he was caught in 1969.
Others have spent years on the list avoiding capture. Bulger, the reputed Boston mob boss currently on trial, was on the list for 12 years before his apprehension in 2011.
Robert William Fisher, wanted for allegedly killing his wife and two young children and then blowing up the house in Arizona, has been on the FBI's most-wanted list since 2002.
Former university professor Walter Lee Williams, the 500th person to be named on the FBI's iconic Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, is sought for allegedly engaging in sexual acts with children both domestically and abroad.

To assess the risk of nosocomial transmission of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV), we prospectively evaluated a cohort of 531 health care workers. One hundred fifty of these employees reported percutaneous or mucous membrane exposures to blood or body fluids from a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) during the treatment of 238 such patients since 1981. None of these 150 employees had serologic evidence of HTLV-III/LAV infection on follow-up from 6 to 46 months after exposure. Of the 150, 46 were studied immunologically and 29 had lymphocytes cultured for HTLV-III/LAV. Results of all studies were normal. Of the 531 employees, 3 (0.56%) had serologic evidence of HTLV-III/LAV infection. All were seropositive at the time of study entry; none reported adverse nosocomial exposures. All acknowledged membership in one or more established risk groups for AIDS. This study provides strong evidence that the risk of nosocomial transmission of HTLV-III/LAV is extremely low.
