Where are teenage girls turning for advice about fashion, dating and getting along with their parents? Would you believe, the New Testament?
After years of trying to sell Bibles to one of the nation's savviest, most cynical consumer groups, Bible publishers at Thomas Nelson have developed a new way to snare adolescents' interest: turning the sacred book into a magazine.
Revolve, the new Bible for girls between the ages of 12 and 17, offers the complete New Testament in a fashion magazine format, replete with images of stylish, smiling young women, quizzes and celebrity birthdays (sorry, no horoscopes).
Gushing effusively over Revolve, Brooke Nichols, 15, of Nashville, Tenn., could only think of one flaw: the omission of the Old Testament.
"When I have to use the Old Testament in Bible study I have to pull out my other Bible," she said.
Nonetheless, Nichols said Revolve has been a big hit with her friends at public school.
"My friends, they don't like to read the Bible, but once they saw it they were like, `I'm going to have to get me one of those,'" she said.
Laurie Whaley at Thomas Nelson publishers said the idea for Revolve developed after market researchers discovered a shocking truth about teenagers: they don't spend a lot of time reading the Bible.
"We've made a great industry out of selling Bibles to teenagers, and they're not reading them," Whaley said. "The intent is to both make the Bible more interesting and to attract girls who would never pick up a leather-bound bible but who would certainly pick up Revolve."
The magazine format was intended to appeal to media-saturated teenagers, said Kate Etue, the managing editor of Revolve.
"A lot of times, we've put the word `teen' on something and thought that would be enough," she said. "Even kids who come from a Christian subculture are very media-savvy."
To meet discriminating adolescents' standards, Thomas Nelson brought in Thor 5 One, an Irish firm that designs the album covers for the rock band U2. The result: a glossy cover photo of three smiling teenage girls with glistening teeth and glowing skin, under florescent pink and blue headlines promising beauty secrets, quizzes and Q&As.
"They're great because they don't make things look church-y or Christian-y," Etue said of the designers. "They have a real fresh perspective on Christian products."
When the product suits them, adolescents have proven to be avid Bible buyers. The Extreme Teen Bible, which Thomas Nelson published in 1999, sold more than 800,000 copies in four years. The average Bible sells 40,000 copies a year, said Etue.
Study Bibles and other Bibles directed at teens account for 25 percent of all sales at Family Christian Stores, a chain with over 315 outlets nationwide that recently started selling Revolve.
Mark Beyer, Bible buyer for Family Christian Stores, said he has seen mixed reactions to Revolve.
"There are some people who look at it and go, 'What's that?' and other people look at it and get it," said Beyer, adding that he was sure the product would be a hit when it was deemed "cool" by his 15-year-old daughter. Since its release last month, Revolve has already exceeded sales expectations, said Whalie, who would not provide exact sales numbers.
Mike Hollifield, a youth pastor at the Donelson Fellowship in Nashville, Tenn., said he had reservations about Revolve at first.
"My first reaction was, 'Wow, I'm not really sure about this, what are we doing to the gospel?'" he said. But once he flipped through a copy, he decided the publishers had "taken God's word and tried to make it relevant to a young lady."
But while some applaud efforts to make the Bible more attractive to teenagers, others have voiced concerns that tailoring the Bible to appeal to a particular group might send the wrong message.
Russell Dalton, author of "Video, Kids and Christian Education" and director of the Religious Communications program at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, said he worried "niche Bibles like Revolve might encourage kids to look at the Bible in a myopic way.
While discussing issues like pregnancy, relationships and tattoos in the context of Christianity might be helpful for adolescents, sidebars such as "Are You Dating a Godly Guy?" might "make it seem as though the Bible is just talking about their concerns," Dalton said.
"The danger there is that they're not reading the Scripture for itself," he said. "Having those sort of statements next to the Scripture change the way they read the text and what they think they're reading it for."
Parents who ask their teenagers what part of the Bible engaged them most might be surprised to hear them cite the sections where "guys say what they like about girls." Would that be Peter's letter advising women not to braid their hair, decorate themselves with gold or wear expensive robes? No, it's "Guys Speak Out," a serial sidebar in Revolve featuring teenage boys' thoughts (alongside their handsome mugs) on how girls should dress and behave.
"As long as they're biblically based and not too frivolous, there's no harm in highlighting such issues," said Daniel Akin, dean of the School of Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky.
"If it addresses the issue of how a woman should dress modestly, I think that would be a good thing," Akin said. "If it has the potential to make teens look at the Bible in a frivolous way, then that's a bad thing."

Start with Duplicating Human Excellence when Making a Successful Business…
Making a successful business these days has a lot to do with modeling after a successful personality. Successful people seem to have unconscious competence, a naturally successful personality, because getting dressed to impress just doesn't do it anymore. People will see through the BS every time, and they want what's real. Gone are the days of melodrama, and make room for a reality show on every celebrity out there! A true "successful personality" acts with unconscious competence.
But just how do you attain a "successful personality?"
The easiest way is to simply model after someone who is successful. Now, this is easier said than done. But I've laid out for you three easy steps to follow, once you find that successful personality you want to model after.
First, examine your successful personality model's belief system…
And change your beliefs to match theirs. Most successful personally models out there have similar belief systems. Although they come from various religious backgrounds, the core belief is the same: the law of attraction. Almost every spiritual book out there has scriptures to back the law of attraction, so you can find a successful personality who may be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist or other and they all tend to believe that they need to take on responsibility for their own actions. When you can assume responsibility for the things that have happened to you, and when you can admit that the life you're living today was created as a result of your own actions, then that gives you extreme personal power to change the outcome of your life! Also, making a successful business has to do with believing that there is no such thing as failure. You may not always accomplish the goal you set out for on the first try, but you did succeed in creating a result. From that result, you can learn and try again. Colonel Sanders himself didn't even set out to start his business until the age of 65, and he received 1009 "no way get out of here old man" responses to his attempt to sell his recipe before he received the first "yes, I'll use your recipe". See, he never failed; he only generated 1009 "results" to learn from to bring him his first open door for making a successful business. One thousand nine negative responses! Who has that kind of motivation? A successful personality does!
Second, examine your mentor's syntax for making a successful business…
What do I mean by this? Syntax refers to the order of thinking and acting. For example, some people respond to a given stimulus without thinking, and others think it through first. Some people will never make a decision without "sleeping on it". Others will go with their gut feeling. You can tell if a person is thinking or remembering by the body language and direction of the eyes as they contemplate a problem, create a story or try to remember something in their past. A successful personality will handle problems with ease, almost seemingly not getting at all upset, but rather embracing the problem as a challenge and a chance to learn, analyzing the problem logically so as to act in the best way possible.
Third, examine the physiology of your successful personality model….
This means the way they move, breath, act, their eating and sleeping habits. Increased physical energy alone can be attained simply by changing one's personal dietary habits. Find out what your role model does to get the creative juices running.
Making a successful business has everything to do with taking action!
You have to stretch yourself. I'm sure you're aware that, when working out or training to run, you can't train yourself to run further until you make yourself go just a little bit past your comfort zone each time you run. When you get to the point of thinking you might collapse, but then you convince yourself to push on… that's when you can train to go the extra mile. This it not only fact in physiology, it's a metaphor for stretching yourself by getting past your comfort zone just a little bit to achieve higher chance of making a successful business.
"Making a successful business" can be achieved by absorbing your mentor's successful personality…
It seems to work like osmosis, but the more you listen to audio recordings from a known successful personality, the more you become like that person. Over time, you begin to find yourself thinking, acting, and talking with the same confidence.

I was born in a small town near Venice and since I moved to Milan to study I felt the lack of countryside, especially during fall when all the trees are dressed with lovely colors and if you don't live near a park you have no chance to witness the wonders of this season! Fortunately when I watch out of my window I can see a little garden with a wonderful big tree that amazes me every year with its colors, but I never found a nice idea for an artistic photo. Until some days ago..
I was still in my warm bed and the cold sound of water hitting the gutter again and again after the rainy night woke me up, slowly I crawled out of my bed in the total darkness of my room and before grabbing my glasses I pulled up the shutter and after the initial blindness in the morning daylight I saw something ravishing: there was a flame in the garden, a big yellow bokeh-y fire that stood out against the dull colors of the surrounding buildings. I stood there some seconds to photograph this scene with my mind until I decided to grab my glasses and my camera and make that moment last forever.
I mounted on my Canon 5D mark II my "new" forty years old Helios 40-2 85mm lens, because in this situation I wanted a "noisy" bokeh rather than a silky smooth blur. I set it wide open at f/1.5 and I switched the live view on to have an instant preview of the bokeh, trying to imitate what I saw without my glasses, I took four horizontal shots to capture the whole tree and to make sure the leaves had all the same bokeh since this lens has a different behavior moving from centre to the edges.
In the raw conversion I added a little contrast adjusting curves and I desaturated it just a tad because the colors were too punchy on the screen. I imported the four shots in photoshop to stitch them using the automatic function but I manually modified the layer masks because I wasn't pleased with the bokeh the automatic algorithm chose in some shots. I corrected the slight keystone effect, due to the position I shot from, highlighted by the building in the background and I saved the image! That's it: I had a nice forty megapixel image and a happy smile all day long! The next step will be a nice big print!

I took this photo of the northern part of Lake Shore Drive, Chicago in between storms. They had been passing through all day and I happened to look out the window as another storm was approaching. I love the fact that even in a city as big as Chicago, the vibrance of Fall can still be seen. Photo was taken with my iPhone 4s and then I used iPhoto to fiddle with the contrast.

I took this photo during the first week of October while walking around the forest behind my house. I loved how you can see the progression of colors between the tree in the center and the yellow leaves from the adjacent trees. I made some adjustments to the photo to really bring out the contrast between leaves.

Korea has 4 distinct, verging on extreme, seasons. Winter is icy cold yet blindingly bright. Spring is angelic with the awakening of the famous Cherry Blossoms. Summer is gloriously lush, yet excruciatingly humid. And Fall? Well, they don't call it 'Korea on Fire' for nothing. I moved to Korea to work for a year and my colleagues invited me along for a hiking tour of Jecheon, the town I was living in, so naturally, I jumped at the occasion to explore and learn more about the culture.
During the hike we were all so caught up in admiring the stunning fall foliage that some of us separated. It was then, as I was wandering around, that I spotted some peculiar creatures nestled amongst a leaf on a tree. Contrasting against the earthy colours, they were striking and unmissable. My colleagues had no clue as to what they were when I showed them my photos and It wasn't until later that I found out they were Rainbow Beetles.
I'm an amateur photographer, at best, albeit a passionate one! So I only had with me my compact camera, a Panasonic Lumix. I did my best to capture the vibrancy of the Rainbow Beetles against the magical fall colours.
It wasn't until later, when an American friend stumbled across my photo, that they suggested I enter in for the Gizmodo Shooting Challenge. Whilst I don't own a DSLR, I enjoy taking photos in the moment as I love to capture and preserve things in a natural way.

I was with a couple of my buddies on a trip with my band for a music gig South Lake Tahoe on the California side. We had some free time and stopped by to see the lake since one of the guys had never seen it "in real life". I had my iPhone 5 for all of a week or so, and decided to take some quick pics... I couldn't believe the quality that came from the phone... Well I was impressed... The very next day Lake Tahoe had a pretty big storm come in and cover everything with snow... This is probably the last day these trees looked this way...

Believe it or not this picture was captured with my iPhone 4s. I'm a pretty good Photoshopper so I just brought the picture in there, made a few edits and viola. The trees were just so perfectly orange and beautiful this day so I made everything but the trees black and white so they would stand out even more. I can't remember the exact name of where we were but I think it was in the Bear Creek area of Colorado.
The story: I recently moved from Cleveland to Denver and my friends (from college in Cleveland) came to visit for the weekend. I had never been to a mountain before so when they came we made it a point to do some hiking, that's them in the left of the picture. It was an incredibly beautiful day, literally the perfect Fall day. As we were coming back from our hike I noticed the sun hitting this patch of trees at the perfect angle. I could not stop taking pictures. I have like 10 more pictures I wanted to submit to this contest. This sounds ridiculous, I know, but it was actually pretty magical. There were dogs playing, photographers everywhere, people playing frisbee, just about everything you would expect to see in a movie on a perfect Fall day. It was a great way to start my new life in Colorado.

Was leaving a friends Greenhouse, during the Storm and the ground was littered with about a zillion brilliantly colored leaves...
So... click... click... Clickety Click... ripped off a hundred or more shots, with my Sony RX100...
Of all the shots... for no definable reason... I like this one the best. The Settings were...
f:3.2 - 1/100 sec. - ISO 125 - Focal length 10mm. - Zeiss 1:8 lens... the RX100 is a mirrorless 20.1Mp camera with a 1 inch sensor and about the size of a deck of cards. This shot, is pretty much straight out of the camera... Post, was minor Brightness & Contrast adjustment.
-Charlie Carroll
I shot this with Hipstamatic for my iPhone, which according to the EXIF data shot at f2.4 for 1/2000 of a second (ish).
There's not much of a story here except to say that iPhone photography has really rekindled my love of photography, especially during autumn when there are so many transient moments that you simply can't consider going back later with your camera. So it was a really fun month, being able to stop and capture passing moments of light and color like this.

Recently, I rediscovered the landscape work of Maxfield Parrish, one of the most popular painter/illustrators of the 20th century. I was a huge fan of Parrish when I was in college and now recognize the tremendous influence of his work on my own. In an attempt to honor that influence, I embarked on a week-long photo expedition to his beloved New England during the annual fall foliage spectacle. This collection represents my best efforts at capturing the magical landscape moments that inspired Parrish and which continue to thrill "leaf peepers" from around the world.

I was outback cleaning up the leaves before the snow hit and said "Hey I should take a picture and sent it into Gizmodo". I normally see everyone with Nikon D series or Canon gear I thought it would be interesting to send a new generation smartphone shot.

In the valley where we live, the trees had no inkling that fall was approaching. My wife and I headed out to the mountains of Snow Basin resort in Utah to see how the trees there were progressing. They were in full splendor providing limitless possibilities for the plethora of photographers that were dotting the landscape. The sun was low in the late afternoon rendering the foliage in mixed shadows. It was the quintessential essence of Fall. If only we could have spent more time there.

My wife and I just got back from a short vacation on November 6, and I wake up on the 7th to see this shooting challenge. What a coincidence I thought to myself! We had been at Yosemite National Park, and couldn'tbelieve all the beautiful fall colors. I always enjoy looking at the shooting challenges,but this is the first time I have submitted.
This shot was taken midday in the Yosemite Valley floor, in the shadow of El Capitan.

DO THIS: If you go outside right now, lay under one of your beautiful Autum trees and close your eyes almost all the way and just let them lose focus as you lay there... this might be what you see. It's fucking magical.
So, I live in San Antonio, TX where "Fall" isn't really seen in the trees until late October or so... so does that disqualify me from entering a photo? Most of last year there were either dead leaves or NO leaves at all on our trees all year due to the drought. This year, although still hot as balls, we've had enough rain to make things green and keep them that way. So, I took this photo outside of my office, and freely admit that in the spirit of the season, I changed the white balance to make it look like "Fall" even though the leaves are actually beautifully, richly dark and vibrant green. Again should this disqualify me? This is Fall in San Antonio man, what are ya gonna do? With that out of the way, the thing here is the Bokeh. I've been shooting with this 15mm lens for about 9 months now, and it almost never leaves me camera.

Shot during a long walk through the woods in Sharon, MA on 10/21/2012; a beautiful fall day. I used a Nikon D7000 with a Tokina 11-16 zoom. My goal was to shoot at the wide (11mm) end that day to see if I could capture some interesting perspective. Towards the end of the walk I notice this lone small tree with a few remaining leaves surrounded by some large trees. I got down on the ground as low as possible and shot up through the small tree.
ISO 200, f/4, 1/200

I shot this while on a weekend getaway in Saugatuck Michigan in October. I live in Chicago so getting out into the wilderness in the heart of Autumn is a welcome treat every year. I was walking the dog and this shot jumped out at me. It was shot using a Nikon D7000, Nikkor 18-200 lens @ 20mm. It was post processed in Photomatix Pro for HDR effect.

I've took these photos yesterday. I took the photo with my Nikon D7000 with a 18-105mm lens.
I was taking pictures of some friends and while I was waiting I noticed 2 squirrels popping up all around me, but I didn't have time to take a shot.
A few minutes later I heard some sounds and I noticed a squirrel eating on a high branch. I walked around bit and took a few photos. This one is the best of the bunch.
-David Frenkel
I was a tourist in my own town Sunday, taking pictures from the Space Needle. It wasn't until I came home and looked at the shots that I realized how many trees are growing amidst the pavement, and how they're all turning. I cropped and made a few edits in Lightroom. Sony RX100. f/5.6, 1/100 sec, ISO 125.

Story: This picture was taken while driving through the forest area of Kettle morraine state forest near Milwaukee, WI with my Friend Manas. Fall sets in WI very early in October and I found that the Yellowish-Orange leaves would be a good submission. The curve in the Road gives a continous feeling to the viewer.

Now that I've moved to California, it was quite challenging to find ANY signs of fall around (except for many brown trees). This is the closest I got.

This was shot at Valley Forge National Park today (Veteran's Day) using:
Canon EOS Rebel T31
Sigma 28-200 Lense
ISO 100, f/3.5, Focal length 28mm, no flash
I took this near the National Memorial Arch in Valley Forge park (http://www.nps.gov/vafo/historyculture/arch.htm). Fall leaves give me a wistful sense of the passing of summer. Juxtaposing this with the flag on Veteran's Day helps me to express my deep sorrow and thankfulness for the sacrifices of all of those who have defended our freedom.

Metadata: Canon EOS 550D, Lens EF-S18-135,1/640sec , f/18, ISO 800
Story: Walking down this beautiful street in Chicago, I noticed the design of the fence and the shadow that was cast by the sun angle at the time. It inspired me to take a shot of this fence with its shadow including a stunning backdrop of the yellow leaves of Fall on the trees and the empty walkway.
-Donovan Koh
This shot was taken right outside Cooper Hospital in Camden, New Jersey. My brother had to go there for a routine check up, and as we were pulling into the parking garage I spied this tree at the edge of the driveway. It was the best color I had seen on a tree all season. I took this shot with a Canon T2i with a Asahi Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 manual focus lens, shot at f/1/4. The wind was blowing and the leaves refused to stay still, but I was able to fire off a few shots and this one was the best.
-Donovan Myers
Camera: Canon G11
Dont know ISO and such. Didnt really take the picture considering the ISO.
"While doing our Geography Lab, thought of taking a few pictures. Really i was trying to catch this guy on his Run. But..well, this came out. Conclusion: the lab was alright. Finding distance bearings is not as fun as you think"
-Fahim Khan
This was my best shot taken on October at a botanical garden during a warm autumn afternoon.
I love how the shadow of the trees makes the scene so cinematic, dramatic or taken from a theatre.
The main leaf is pretty well manual focused too with old but very sharp glass. I'm really amazed with the (untouched) colors captured!

On a beautiful fall morning, I was walking some property in Chattanooga, TN in order to evaluate its potential recreational use. Around the middle of the parcel I came across this striking tree-it appeared to be an oak-which had no low branches. The contrast of the yellowing leaves against the deep blue sky and the morning sun illuminating the bark, making it almost white in appearance, captured my attention. I was able to record the site on my iPhone, the only camera I had with me.

Fall in Saxony
Fall was in full swing and the wind was humming low through the trees. At last, nature was starting to show her true colors. The image was captured on a beautiful hiking trail in Saxony, Germany, at around 12 PM in mid-October. I was lucky, as this was one of the first pictures that I shot that day, before the rain came and the sun disappeared behind the clouds.
Captured with a D800 using a 16-35 F4 lens, at 16mm, 1/100, ISO 400 and f8, on October 10
-Daniel Ghetu
At just the right moment I was lucky enough to capture an almost perfect star from the rays through this Maple tree. The leaves were already changing color, providing some layers of the colors of fall

Welcome to the "Grand Canyon of the East", the "Glen Iris" or more commonly known as Letchworth State Park in Upstate New York. This is the view from inspiration point of the Higher Falls and a bird. A Bird!
As for the picture and gear this was taken with a Nikon D5100 and the kit lens. Slight Level and Color Adjustments in PS as I more reacted to the scene (with a Bird!) than planned for.

This month we have an extra Saturday! We wanted this extra special Saturday to be extra special for all of you so I thought perhaps we could make a quick little mini together??
Next weekend is Easter. Our grandmas are very kind to us and I thought they could use a bit of love in return. I was browsing around looking for a fun and quick way to make a brag book. Something that could be made twice over quickly. (Thrice, actually, as I might want one for us, too!)
I put together a set of photo overlays. One for the title and 11 for photos. (I used the fonts of the talented Kimberly Geswein: the frames, the doodles, and the title.) Here is how they look together.
And this is how it looks once my photos were added underneath the overlays.
We have a bit of an irreverent sense of humor around here and hope that this will be taken with the goofy love that it is intended. Santa brought Richard some fake mustaches that we used for some silly photos. (Obviously, Rich's isn't actually using a fake one. heehee!) (Nigel's photos are missing as he wasn't in the mood the day we took the photos. I will need to try to get his this weekend, so we have time to print and ship.)
Once I get Nigel's photos I will print them out on my awesome Epson and then pop them into a plastic brag book. Not only easy to finish but also easy to mail. A twofer!!
If you would like to make a quick album, too, you may download the overlays here. They are psd documents. Just open them up in your photo processing program and then cut and paste them onto a 6x4 photo. Leave me word if you have questions!
Thank you for stopping! I hope you have been enjoying our mini month. Our final week begins Monday with Cocoa Daisy!! It's going to be another great one!

Jon and Kate plus animosity. Former reality star Jon Gosselin had some choice words regarding ex-wife Kate Gosselin in a new interview with Philadelphia Magazine published Friday, Dec. 27.
"Everyone thinks I'm out to get Kate. I don't give a f-ck!" said the father of eight, 36, who sat down last month with Oprah Winfrey and told her that his children have problems "developmentally." He added to the mag, "What would I get out of it? Everyone knows she's an a–hole, you know what I mean? I don't have to—she's proven that!"
His ex-wife, 38, slapped him with a hefty lawsuit back in August, claiming that Jon had accessed private information for the book, Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World, alleging that he hacked into her phone and computer and swiped her hard drive. The charges were dropped against both the writer Robert Hoffman and Jon in November, according to Philadelphia Magazine.
"She tweets everything. To the world, all about my children," he added of his ex during the interview. "I think it's disgusting and awful. They can't even have a normal life."
Once the star of America's most-watched reality TV program, Gosselin is currently making ends meet in his newly promoted position as a Maître d' at a restaurant in rural Pennsylvania. He told Philadelphia that his stint as a waiter, "keeps me normal."
He alleges that his ex, however, is still seeking fame. "Kate wants to still be on television. She's now digging into the past, because that's what sells. Too late, honey. No one gives a f-ck, really."
Up next for the ex-reality TV dad? A full circle back to reality television! Gosselin will appear in Season 4 of VH1's Couples Therapy along with girlfriend of two years, Liz Jannetta. The two will live in a house together and receive relationship advice doled out by a therapist, along with celebrities like Farrah Abraham and Taylor Armstrong.
"We needed the therapy for our relationship," he told the mag. "We really couldn't afford therapy. And it's free therapy," he said in an attempt to justify his decision to appear once again on TV. The series begins Jan. 2.

Coney Island Evacuation
The iconic Coney Island amusement park has been evacuated after reports of a swaying 275-foot tall observation tower.
The New York Fire Department says a report that the Astrotower was unstable was called in around 4:20 Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for Luna Park says the amusement area was evacuated and closed at 5 p.m. as a precaution. The park normally closes at 11.
Officials from various city agencies, including the police and buildings departments and the city's office of emergency management, are investigating.
Astrotower, which was installed in 1964, has not been in use since 2010. It once offered visors 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and Brooklyn. It sits across the street from the Coney Island Cyclone rollercoaster.
Winds were not a factor at only 5 to 10 mph.

On Monday, July 11, 24 students and two chaperones arrived in Cedar Springs from the city of Chongqing, China for a two-week cultural exchange.
The city of Chongqing is situated in the southern part of China and has over 30,000,000 people. They were amazed at our small town.
The two weeks consisted of English class in the morning, followed by activities in the afternoon. The students all stayed with host families that were from Cedar Springs and the surrounding area. Many students shared that they attended middle school five days a week, for 10 hours each day, so they really enjoyed the interaction they had with their host family and with each other. China has a "one child" policy so they also enjoyed having siblings.
The students commented on the friendliness of the people and were amazed at the smiling faces they saw. Many people asked them where they were from.
The activities included Mac Dune Rides, a trip to Country Dairy (which some will not forget), shopping, a White Caps baseball game, several picnics, a sports day with a brief golf lesson at Cedar Chase, a scavenger hunt, and a family softball game.
Families and students shared with the group the fun they had together in the short time they were in Cedar Springs. Many of us hate to see them leave. We know we may never see them again. We're reminded of the quote that says, "You can meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes those people you can't forget. Those are your friends."
Our lives have become richer because of our friends from the other side of the world!

WASHINGTON – A combination of scant inflation and still-modest U.S. economic growth will likely lead the Federal Reserve this week to maintain its drive to keep borrowing costs at record lows indefinitely.
The Fed has said it plans to keep its key short-term interest rate near zero at least until the unemployment rate dips below 6.5 per cent from its current 7.6 per cent.
It's also been buying $85 billion a month in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to try to keep long-term borrowing rates down. The goal has been to energize the economy through more consumer and corporate borrowing.
In recent months, many economists had suggested that the Fed might scale back its bond purchases in the second half of 2013 if job growth accelerated.
But the jobs report for March was surprisingly weak. And inflation has been running below the Fed's target rate, allowing it to keep stimulating the economy without igniting price increases.
"I am not looking for any major action from this meeting," says David Jones, an economist at DMJ Advisors.
The Fed's interest rate-setting committee will begin a two-day meeting Tuesday and will issue a policy statement once its meeting ends Wednesday afternoon.
The minutes of the Fed's last meeting in March suggested that some policymakers favoured slowing and eventually ending its bond buying — as long as the economy and the job market kept improving. Some feared that keeping rates too low for too long could escalate inflation, fuel speculative asset bubbles or unsettle markets once the Fed has to start raising rates or unloading its record $3 trillion investment portfolio.
Early this month, though, the government said U.S. employers added only 88,000 jobs in March, far below the 220,000 average in the previous four months. Last week, it said the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.5 per cent in the January-March quarter — a decent growth rate but one that's expected to weaken in coming months because of federal spending cuts and higher Social Security taxes.
At the same time, consumer inflation as measured by the gauge the Fed most closely monitors remains well below its 2 per cent target. That gauge rose just 1 per cent in the 12 months that ended in March.
Analysts now think the Fed will keep the Fed's easy-credit policies unchanged, possibly for the rest of the year.
"The government's fiscal austerity is kicking in and hitting the economy hard," says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. "I am not looking for any change in Fed policy at this meeting, not with this weak growth and low inflation."
After years of debate, the Fed in January 2012 followed the lead of many other central banks around the world in establishing an inflation target of 2 per cent. The Fed's goal is to keep price changes from hurting the economy.
This could occur if inflation raged out of control or if the opposite problem — deflation — emerged. Deflation is a prolonged drop in wages, prices and the value of assets like stocks and houses.
The United States last suffered serious deflation during the Great Depression of the 1930s. But Fed policymakers think the risks of deflation can rise as inflation dips below 2 per cent. They want to avoid following the path of Japan, which has struggled with weak growth and deflation for more than two decades.
Economists don't think the latest economic data will lead the Fed to step up the size of its bond purchases. But they say the figures should embolden the majority of officials who back Chairman Ben Bernanke's commitment to keep borrowing rates down until the economy shows sustained improvement — as long as inflation stays low.
"The Fed can't wink, scratch its nose, wiggle its ears or do anything that would signal they are about to change policy from what they are doing now," says Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Gordon College in Wenham, Mass. "That would be totally premature."
Bethune says the Fed needs to be especially cautious in signalling any policy shift because the U.S. economy has been serving as a global engine of growth. Many European countries are still struggling to escape a recession that followed the region's debt crisis.
"Anything the Fed did that could disrupt things or create uncertainty could tip the whole global economy back into recession," Bethune says.
Few expect the central bank to start raising short-term rates before late 2015 or early 2016. And many economists think the Fed will keep buying $85 billion in bonds each month for the rest of this year, before starting to curtail its purchases in early 2014.
Still, some analysts say that if the economy emerges from a slowdown caused in part by the government cuts and starts accelerating, the Fed might taper its bond purchases by fall.
Whenever the Fed does decide to signal a potential pullback of its aggressive credit easing, after a long period of record-low rates, analysts say the shift could jolt investors.
"No one can predict how much financial market instability we are likely to get when the Fed finally begins pulling back," Jones says.

On last night's episode, 17-year-old Lizzie wasn't as concerned about how her pregnancy would change her plans for the future as she was about how it would affect her belly ring. Fortunately—for her anyway—they come in maternity sizes.
Lizzie had dreams of being a musician in an orchestra, but after becoming pregnant, she changed her mind and decided to become an ultrasound technician. When college proved to be too time-consuming, she quit, and somehow maintained a positive disposition about the "importance" of motherhood, which will no doubt be dampened some point down the road when she's up shit creek with no education, much less a paddle.

You can get the most affordable IVF MESA cost in India by visiting ovohealth.com.
Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA) is an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). It is used along with In Vitro Fertilization treatment to treat male infertility. The procedure is used mainly in the medical conditions like contrary Azoospermia. A working microscope is used to find the tubules of the epididymis in order to retrieve a higher amount of sperms. Various studies have been conducted to compare IVF MESA cost in India based on IVF MESA success rates post different types of surgical sperm retrieval. Based on the studies it is concluded that IVF MESA treatment results in the highest number of sperm, with a hundred times more sperm being recovered than that of TESA and percutaneous biopsy. The procedure takes place in the embryology laboratories.
There are several reasons and factors for infertility in men. Less common causes of azoospermia are the intake of an anabolic steroid or human growth hormone hGH, certain medications and a fairly regular alcohol or marijuana consumption. Some of the main causes are:
It is a medical condition of male infertility where there is an absence of sperm in the ejaculate. Most men have not noticed any symptoms for the same but if you are unable to impregnate your partner, this could be a cause. Depending on the factors like location and success rates, IVF MESA cost in India varies from one IVF clinic to another.
Azoospermia can be divided into two major categories:
Causes of Non-Obstructive Azoospermia can be a presence of varicose veins around the testicle, lower amounts of sperm production within the testicle, development of sperm at the time of maturation phase due to which testicle is only filled with precursor sperm. Male infertility is majorly categorized into these types of Azoospermia. IVF MESA cost in India relies on the type of infertility, as there are different costs associated with the different infertility treatments.
Sometimes there can be enough sperms to get pregnant by intercourse, or at least enough produced to do advance reproductive technologies like In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
In cases of azoospermia, sperm is extracted from the epididymis or testicles by two different methods. The first method is (MESA) Microepididymal Sperm Aspiration and the other one is (TESA) Testicular Epididymal Sperm Aspiration.
The modern technologies and methods of retrieving sperms from testicles help male partners to utilize their own sperms in the infertility treatments like ICSI and IVF treatment. These alternative procedures are cost-effective, offer joyful opportunity, and save the cost of the sperm donor. At Ovo Health, we are dedicated to provide the most affordable treatment programs. Many of the men, who cannot produce any amount of sperms or produce very low amounts with poor quality, can opt for IVF TESA.
The IVF MESA success rates in India rely on several measures. Age, type of fertility and unique medical history are considered important factors while opting for an appropriate and suitable fertility treatment. Another major factor is how much the infertility treatment costs. Depending on the uniqueness and distinctive nature of each individual, the IVF MESA cost in India can vary from one person to another.
In today's scenario of higher percentage of male infertility, IVF MESA treatment is considered to have higher success rates. At the IVF centres in India, the cost of IVF MESA treatment starts from Rs.13406.4 and can go up with respect to the location and success rates. With higher IVF MESA success rates, the cost of IVF MESA increases. For example, the IVF MESA cost in India with higher success rate, range from Rs.13406.4 to Rs.40964.0.
The cost of IVF MESA in India depends on factors like the expertise of the IVF doctors, availability of modern and advanced medical services at the respective fertility clinics or hospital as well as the past medical history of the couple with respect to fertility treatments. The utilization of donor sperm and medications are other crucial factors to ascertain the IVF MESA cost in India.

This is the simplest dish but gets the most amazing results. Whenever I make these, the platter cannot leave the kitchen before it needs refilling. This is also a great afternoon snack that keeps the family from munching on sugary sweets before a late dinner.
This is of course a great kosher and vegan recipe for the big Super Bowl event this Sunday February 6!
Plantains have many health benefits that you may not know. Read on:
- A well-acclaimed diuretic, plantain is found to be extremely effective against kidney ,bladder and intestine problems.
- It is effective against heavy menstrual cycles.
- Plantain is also used as a vulnerary to treat cuts and wounds. Due to easy accessibility of this wonderful fruit, it can be easily bought and crushed and applied to cuts and wounds for quick relief. Also, since plantain has a high epidermal growth, it can be used to fix damaged tissues, treat bruises and broken bones.
- Plantain is touted as a wonderful blood cleanser.
- Plantain, much like its yellow ripe counterpart, is extremely good for skin. Plantain juice can be effectively used to treat sunburn, ulcers, scalds and burns. It is treated as an effective substitute for aloe vera.
- It is very effective for treating liver sluggishness and inflammation of the digestive tract.
- Chewing plantain root can offer immediate relief from toothache.
- Plantain is known to soothe cough reflex andis used to treat asthma, lung infections, and hay fever and any other respiratory disorders that involves mucous congestion.
How to know when a plantain is ready to cook:
Buy plantains as green as possible and allow them to ripen at home near a window.During the winter that can extend to three weeks! If you want a plantain chip that is not too sweet, (ie. for a guacamole dip) then only allow it to turn yellow. But, if you want a sweeter treat then allow plantains to turn black (the skin will go from green to golden yellow to black). Once they are that ripe, you will know they are super sweet inside.
For this recipe, we recommend the golden yellow color:
- Slice Peel 3 plantains, discarding the peel. Cut them diagonally into 1-inch slices.
- Spread plantain pieces onto cookie sheet, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees until brown on the outside.
To Fry:
- Heat oil in saute pan. Place plantain in oil and fry about one minute, flip, and fry until crisp on both sides.
- Dry plantains on a paper towel, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
For Guacamole:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red hot pepper flakes
- 1/2 tomato, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Open avocados and pull out all of the fruit with a spoon.
- Lightly mash the avocado with a fork as you add the garlic, lemon juice, and spices. You can adjust the spices to your taste. Fold in the tomato.
- To serve, put guacamole in a shallow bowl with plantain slices next to it for dipping.

A nonprofit corporation has been formed to work on bids,
Cleveland nonprofit groups and community leaders are launching an organized effort to lure a national political convention to northeast Ohio's largest city in 2016.
The Plain Dealer reports a nonprofit corporation has been formed to work on bids, and city and county leaders will consider legislation to assemble a pledge of financial support or other services, such as police staffing.
Mayor Frank Jackson says Cleveland has the necessary event and hotel space for such a convention, which could help boost the local economy and tourism.
It's not the only city courting a convention in the presidential swing state.
Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati each had representatives visiting Washington recently to chat with Republican officials who will choose the site for their 2016 convention.

Verizon's just-released "2011 Data Breach Investigations Report" says businesses could prevent most data breaches if they stick to security principles that are cheap and easy to implement.
The downfall of victims stems from failure to follow the elementary steps all businesses should take to protect their assets, the report says.
Attackers adapt to new defenses, but on the whole, they take the path of least resistance, which often means exploiting vulnerabilities that could be eliminated readily by implementing the basics, the authors of the report say.

"As a whole, do you really think we're making them scramble to adapt?" they say. "Year after year our data seems to suggest that we are not, and that is something that needs to change. If they adapt, then they adapt. C'est la vie. But let's quit allowing them to find success in stagnation."
The report says 63% of breaches could be prevented through means it calls simple and cheap. Only 4% require preventive measures described as difficult and expensive.
GOOD GUYS: 12 "White Hat" hackers you should know
Here are the authors' recommendations based on the security incidents they reviewed this year.
- Pick the essential security controls and put them in place without exception. Then implement more advanced controls as needed.
- Change default credentials, create unique passwords and don't share them.
- Regularly review active accounts to make sure they are valid, necessary, properly configured and given only appropriate privileges.
- Restrict and monitor privileged users.
- Secure remote access services.
- Monitor and filter outbound traffic for communications that could halt ongoing data breaches.
- Test applications, review code and encourage developers to write more secure code.
- Implement effective monitoring for and response to critical log data that can flag breaches.
- Define suspicious and anomalous network behavior, look for it and send alerts when it is found.
- Reduce the time breaches are active (and therefore can do damage) with weekly review of basic breach indicators such as counting log lines for major spikes.
- Increase awareness of social engineering.
- Run regular incident tests and practice responses.

Twenty-five years old with a single camera body and lens in hand, Steven Rubin hitched a ride in 1982 to rural Somerset County in northwestern Maine and embarked on a project that would continue for more than 30 years.
Now a selection of the images Rubin captured during his decades-long project in this little-visited region of the U.S. will soon get a rare showing in Los Angeles. "Vacationland" goes up at the drkrm gallery from April 28 through May 26.
A graduate from Reed College with a degree in sociology, Rubin had originally come out to the East Coast from Oregon to enroll at the then Maine Photographic Workshops (now the Maine Media Workshops) in Rockport. After documenting the effects of the early 1980s recession on families nearby, he wanted to see how the economic downturn was being handled by locals far from the highways, historic lighthouses and second homes of the Maine coast. On a tip from a friend, Rubin headed inland and settled upon an abandoned shack as his home base and a schedule of hitching four to eight hours between the countryside to take pictures and Rockport to develop them.
Taking prints back to his subjects as a thank-you for their time and trust, Rubin was eventually let into the lives of local families—as well as some of their homes to crash on floors and couches—as he continued his work throughout Central Maine.
What he has witnessed is a part of the country largely unbuffeted by the usual economic ups and downs seen elsewhere. For many in the area times are always tough. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, per capita income has been increasing in Somerset County but has ranked at or near the bottom among Maine's 16 counties throughout the many years of Rubin's project. Residents get by through resourcefully cobbling together seasonal and part-time jobs, hunting, fix-it know-how and the support of their communities.
"When I met some of these families, I was completely in awe of them in many ways," said Rubin, now an assistant professor of art in the Photography Program at Penn State University. "I think as an outsider and someone who didn't have the background that they did, I was really quite taken by how they survived, by their strength, by their colorful t-shirts, by their resourcefulness."
Rubin sought to avoid the stereotypes of people broken by their struggles or heroically pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. Influenced not only by legendary photographer Dorothea Lange but also anthropologist Clifford Geertz, Rubin aimed at creating a body of work that functioned as a "thick description," a finely detailed document for understanding the context of human actions. Achieving that goal required time.
Since 1982, Rubin has returned to this project 10 times to capture daily rhythms and rituals and how the people he'd come to know changed, grew up, forged intense family bonds and frequently returned home despite finding good jobs elsewhere.
"I think so many of us—who move around different parts of the country, different parts of the world—we spend a lot of our lives looking for that sense of community. And these people have it," Rubin said.
He's planning to return again this summer to Maine, this time possibly shooting digitally rather than on his trusty Kodak Tri-X.
Steven Rubin's photography has appeared in magazines including National Geographic, The New York Times, Stern and TIME. The series is on display at drkrm in Los Angeles, April 28 – May 26.

Best Truck...Ive Ever Owned!!
By Zach on Wednesday, December 13, 2017I purchased this truck about 2 years ago. Fortunately the oil and gas market came to a halt right before making the decision to upgrade from my 2015 F150 (aluminum body). I was beating the heck out of that F150 and it was way too pretty to be doing too much...with the consequences of expensive (ie: 2700 tailgate) repairs. It was the best decision I think Ive made on a vehicle...especially given that the previous owner (O&G) had already put a lift on it, deleted the cat, and installed a tuner (MiniMaxx) which calibrates the intake (P&B) and turbos for maximum performance based on what you are using it for (ie: all out/street/tow/stock). I have put this F250 thru task after task...pulling 15k pound trailers / hauling rock / getting out of sticky situations (traffic) / etc...and it has been one heck of a rig. Now...just keeping it 100...if you dont plan on using all that it has to offer (best for construction/O&G/landscape/civil and industrial work) then dont buy the truck. The only complaint Ive ever heard from previous owners - which was coming at me 10fold right before I decided to buy it - is that owners dont like them because they are just too big and like driving a boat. Well, Im here to tell you that you need to be purchasing this for work...and plan on keeping all four wheels on the ground. NOT FOR OFF ROAD! This truck is rugged, dependable, and luxurious (with higher-end packages). If you are buying for the right reasons...you cant go wrong! PS - the 6.7L engines have been proven. Save yourself some trouble and go with a 6.7 over 6.4 all day long!!!

Whether you spell it hamantaschen, hamantashen, hamentaschen hamentashen,or hammentoshen, every Jewish Hostess has their favorite Purim classic triangular cookie that will be handed down to their kids and grandkids. This great no-fail, easy recipe is on page 230 of the classic Red Deal Delights cookbook that was compiled by the Syrian Jewish women in on the Jersey Shore in 1985. This cookbook has traditional Sephardic recipes that is a must in every Syrian Jewish home. I wonder if they had Hammentashen in the old days in Syria…
You can order your Deal Delights cookbooks from the hard working PTA at Hillel Yeshiva.
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup oil
- 2 tbsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 1/2 cups flour
- 1 jar apricot butter
- 1 jar prune butter
Beat eggs, and add sugar, oil, vanilla,baking powder, salt and flour (add flour slowly) while beating continuously until you have a workable dough.
Roll dough into baseball size balls and add slight amount of flour to reduce stickiness.
Roll flat with rolling pin.
Even the boys can get involved…..
Cut into circles using the plastic red top of a can of spray Pam.
Place one teaspoon of the fillings into each circle and squeeze with 3 pinches to form hammentashen shape.
You can even use kosher chocolate chips, Nuttela, and homemade fruit preserves as a filling! Yum!
Bake on sprayed parchment paper lined cookie sheet till desired crunchiness (about 25-30 minutes).
What fantabulous new fashioned sweet fillings can you think of this year?

THE VOGUE FACTOR: When Kirstie Clements was finalizing plans for the October 2012 issue of Vogue Australia — plans that included making Andrej Pejic her cover model — little did she suspect that she would be delivering a larger-than-usual editor's letter by the end of that month. Sixty-five thousand words, to be precise. Published by Melbourne University Press and due out Feb. 28, "The Vogue Factor" is Clements' memoir of her 25-year career at the magazine, starting as its receptionist in 1985, before moving up through the ranks as an editor's personal assistant, beauty editor, Paris correspondent and finally, editor in chief, a position she held for 13 years. That tenure came to a sudden halt on May 16 last year when Clements was dismissed by Vogue's Australian licensee, NewsLifeMedia, as part of a midyear restructuring that witnessed the layoffs of five of the company's magazine editors and five members of Clements' editorial team. The "regime change," as Clements puts it, saw the installation of Harpers Bazaar Australia editor Edwina McCann as Vogue's new editrix, along with a group of McCann's Harper's staff.
Approached by Melbourne University Press a day after she left Vogue, Clements wrote the book in five months and is now gearing up for a two-and-a-half-month publicity blitz that will include a splashy outdoor bus campaign in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
