Charitable Donation - Advertising
Way back in January when I decided to start selling advertising space, I wanted to donate all proceeds to an animal related charity. Finally this has come to a reality and I am starting to see the fruits of my efforts.
Have you noticed the Adgitize links on my page? One of the ways I've been advertising is with this. Adgitize pays a few different ways - publishing, advertising, clicking and posting on your blog. Because I do all of these things, I make anywhere from $15 to $30 (depending on my activity) per month. It is so very easy and since I was blogging anyway, it seemed the logical thing to do! If you are interested in joining Adgitize, simply click on the Adgitize image directly under the ProjectWonderful ad and above the "About Me" and sign up now!
To make a long story short, this month I started to recieve payment for the ads. I thought that since you all are such awesome people who come and read and comment on my blog ... that you might want a say in what charity I donate the money to?? What do you think?
I will take whatever suggestions you give out either in comments here or via email, along with a few suggestions of my own, and I will be making a Poll that will sit on my page for a couple of weeks to give everyone the opportunity to put in their two cents. I hope you will all participate. We will send to which ever charity receives the most votes.
Please note that all suggestions are welcome. If you would like to suggest a breed specific rescue, an SPCA or something else, please feel free to do so. Ultimately, the deciding factor will be the results of the Poll.
(I will, however, vito the one that I sent that dog to in April. I STILL have not received payment and am now forced to pay the vet bills myself at the end of this month)

Yes, but by your own admission, you are a tech-uber-geek.
I'm skeered to click on that there adgitize.
(I'm going to close my eyes, and cross my fingers, when I do)
I have complete faith in wherever you send your money.
With your kind heart and good sense, you'll know who deserves it the most.
I've been donating monthly to the OSPCA since the dawn of money-making time.
But perhaps, you could use the money for your fosters?

Several weeks ago I got an email from Denny Quirk who said that he would send me some stories about Wayne Kelly, fine Canadian racer, race car builder, and a Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame member. In previous posts over the years, I have included some stories and information about Wayne Kelly, so Denny knew that I would be interested in more Wayne Kelly information. I was pleased when Denny sent me the promised stories. I have included Denny's email as he sent it:
"First, a bit about myself. I'm a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, Communications Electronics specialty. I was a member of Motorsport Club of Ottawa (MCO) from 1958 to 1973, President in 1971 and 1972. I raced a Riley 1.5 from 1958 to 1963, and also did quite a bit of rally navigating, including five times in the Shell 4000 (1963, '65, '66, '67 and '68. I functioned as a CASC Racing Steward for several years, including at two Formula 1 races in 1969 and 1970.
Wayne Kelly was a GCA Tech (Corporal rank) in the Air Force. GCA stands for Ground Control Approach. It is a radar system (now obsolete) which was installed alongside runways at Air Force airfields. Using it, a ground operator would talk an aircraft down to a safe landing, even in impossibly foul weather. Wayne was qualified in the repair and maintenance of this system.
Wayne was posted to 2 Fighter Wing, Grostenquin, France in 1957 or 1958. (This was back when we had four fighter bases in Europe, two in France and two in Germany.) He must have been about my age, which means he was only 22 or 23 when he was posted there. As you know, he did some racing, and he spent a lot of his spare time at the Porsche factory. He became fluent in German. He was on a first name basis with Ferry Porsche.
He was posted back to Canada, to CFB Trenton or CFB Uplands (I'm not sure which) in 1960 or '61. While in France, he had a very close friend by the name of Don Hacker, who was a Flight Sergeant airborne electronics specialty. Don was commissioned as a Flying Officer in 1961 and posted to Ottawa to an engineering position in Air Materiel Command HQ. I had been working there since 1958, and the two of us soon became close friends because of our common interest in motorsport. In fact, Don and I were in the 1963 and '65 Shell 4000. More importantly, Don introduced me to Wayne Kelly.
I remember seeing Wayne's car (the one with the Porsche engine) while under construction some time in the period 1961 – 1963. You describe it as "based on putting a Porsche engine in a Lotus 23". Sorry to have to correct you, but that vehicle never saw the inside of the Lotus factory. It was built entirely from the ground up by Wayne. The front half of the car was a more or less faithful copy of the 23, while the rear part, while adhering to Lotus design where possible, was customized to accommodate the Porsche engine. I know the foregoing is hard to believe. The fact of the matter is that Wayne was a mechanical genius. Incidentally the car was known among the cognoscenti as "The Milk Shake Special" because of Wayne's sponsorship with Dairy Queen.
A word about the Porsche engine. I very much doubt that Wayne could afford such an engine on a Corporal's salary. Do not quote me, but my belief is that Ferry Porsche gave Wayne the engine as a gift. Getting it across the Atlantic Ocean is another story. Wayne could charm the tusks off a bull elephant, and I have it on good authority that the Commanding Officer of CFB Trenton was a great fan of his. As such, he was apparently instrumental in bringing the engine to Canada as an unauthorized piece of cargo on an Air Force North Star aircraft.
My memory is a little shaky, but I have some recollection of Wayne campaigning the Milk Shake Special in the 1963 racing season. In February 1964, I was posted to a Pinetree radar station at a godforsaken location called Pagwa River, in northern Ontario. I had heard that Wayne was going to be competing at the Nassau Speed Week in December 1964, and so my then-wife and made plans to be there. Apparently Wayne had been approached by a racer by the name of Grant Clark, who I knew well since we had gone through high school together. Grant was well known in the racing world through driving with BMC sponsorship. Apparently Grant made Wayne an offer. If Grant was allowed to drive The Milk Shake Special in the feature race at Nassau, Grant would bankroll the transport the car to Nassau and back, and pay for accommodation for Wayne and his wife, not to mention their air fare. Wayne could compete in a preliminary race. Wayne insisted on bringing along a buddy technician by the name of Paul Wollner who was a fellow GCA Tech and who was very familiar with the car. Grant agreed, but would not spring for an extra hotel room, which meant that Wayne, Paul and Wayne's wife wound up sharing a double bed. I never did find out what the source of Grant Clark's funding was.
Anyway, my then-wife and I showed up at Nassau on schedule, and found Wayne OK. I got to tow the Milk Shake Special with my rental car on the end of a piece of rope from the barge which transported the race cars to an unused hangar by the race track, and we were able to assist in the pits during the races. I don't remember too much about the races – I seem to recall it raining off and on all day. Wayne didn't finish well – he may have spun out. I do recall Grant Clark coming into the pits after about three laps, complaining that he couldn't get comfortable – he was after all a big man. We did an instant rebuild of the seat, replacing cushions with pieces of scrap plywood, and sent him out. He finished the race without further incident and actually did quite well – I think he may have finished third overall.
I can't leave the subject of the Nassau Speed Week without telling you about a racing incident which was funny beyond belief. As you may or may not know, the feature race of the event was known as the Grand Prix of Volkswagens. It was a 20 or 30 lap race of bog stock Volkswagens. No modification was the rule, enforced by a compulsory teardown of the top three finishers. This race (and indeed the entire event) used to get a huge amount of publicity in the racing world, and as such, attracted a whole bunch of VIPs. Entered in the GP of Volkswagens were two very well-known luminaries, namely A.J. Foyt and Dan Gurney. Given the light-hearted atmosphere surrounding the event, everyone wondered what they might be up to. We soon found out.
During the practice sessions, it soon became apparent that Dan Gurneys car had been "breathed upon" since he was turning laps about 3-4 seconds faster than any other Volkswagen, including Foyt's. Came the race, and off they went. Completing the first lap, Foyt and Gurney were nose to tail, with Foyt in front. In fact, as we were quick to realize, Gurney was actually PUSHING Foyt down the straight. This pattern persisted for the entire race, and so it wasn't too long before the two of them were leading the pack by a wide margin because of Gurney's extra horses. Needless to say, Gurney was disqualified on teardown, and the organizers reluctantly had to declare Foyt the winner. After all, he hadn't broken any rules.
I was at Mosport when Wayne was killed. I didn't see it happen, but a close buddy of mine did. Early in Wayne's race, there was an incident on Turn 1 which caused the ambulance to be sent out. The next lap, Wayne, being Wayne, apparently headed into Turn 1 at close to full speed, even though the white flag must have been showing at the S/F line. The ambulance was sitting on his line, and he ran right into the back of it and was killed.
A few days later, I visited his wife in Ottawa. (I'm having trouble with her name – was it Marlene?) We had become good friends in Nassau. I was astounded at how placid she appeared. I had the distinct impression that she had felt for a long time that he wasn't going to live to a ripe old age, and she felt thankful for the time that they had together. I would love to see her again – do you know whether she's alive or dead? If the former, do you know how to contact her, and if so, could you let me know?
A word about Don Hacker, the guy who introduced me to Wayne. Don is around 87 years old but still hanging in as far as I know. He lives in Sidney BC. If you would like to contact him regarding Wayne's time in Europe, let me know and I will see if it's OK with him.
I haven't proofed the foregoing. Hope there aren't too many goofs.
Thanks to Denny Quirk for sharing these stories about Wayne Kelly. Wayne Kelly seems like he was the type of person that everyone would like to know.

Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007)
George DeSota Getty Images
Kurt Vonnegut was a master of language.
I've learned many a word from him, although many people who claim to be readers have never heard of him. There are several gems in Vonnegut's arsenal; I'm only going to attack my personal favourites.
My first encounter was when my friend Andrea gave me a copy of Breakfast of Champions. I was like so many of those "readers" who had never heard his name.
Oddly, my first Vonnegut encounter would be a book where he brings back to life all the characters he created.
He quoted in the preface, "What do I myself think of this particular book? I feel lousy about it, but I always feel lousy about my books."
I was clearly smitten by the beginning of Chapter Two. I love the lines:
"Dwayne Hoover had oodles of charm/I can have oodles of charm/A lot of people have oodles of charm."
Vonnegut had a wonderful way of spinning yarns while stating his point of view on the human condition. One of Vonnegut's characters is the author, Kilgore Trout. Here is a passage from Trout's book Now It Can Be Told:
"Dear sir, poor sir. You are an experiment by the Creator of the Universe. You are the only one who has to figure out what to do next-and why. Everybody else is a robot, a machine.
"Some persons seem to like you, and others seem to hate you, and you must wonder why. They are simply liking machines and hating machines. You are pooped and demoralized. Why wouldn't you be? Of course it is exhausting, having to reason all the time in a universe which wasn't meant to be reasonable."
A lot of Vonnegut's material stems from his experience in Dresden, Germany. As a prisoner of war, he lived through the firebombing of Dresden on February 13 and 14, 1945. The most famous of these novels is Slaughterhouse-Five.
With fictional characters he told of real events that unfolded before his eyes. In the case of Edgar Derby, "The irony is so great. A whole city gets burned down, and thousands and thousands of people are killed. And then this one American foot soldier is arrested in the ruins for taking a teapot. And he's given a regular trial, and then he's shot to death by a firing squad."
In Cat's Cradle Vonnegut invents the religion Bokononism.
"The Bokonists believe that humanity is organized into teams, teams that do God's Will without ever discovering what they are doing. Such a team is called a karass by Bokonon."
The theme of the book is capturing the day the world ends, but as we all know life goes on despite all of the odds.
So it goes.
In Cat's Cradle, Dr. Felix Hoenikker invented something called ice-nine. It is a crystal that turns water into ice with a melting point of 130°F; thus drying the water on Earth.
It is the narrator Jonah's karass that brings him to the remote tropics of San Lorenzo to save humanity. And so on.
To leave on one of his favorite jokes:
"Everyday for years and years a customs agent would carefully search through this guy's wheelbarrow. Finally when he about to retire the customs agent asked the man, 'We've become friends. I've searched your wheelbarrow for years. What are you smuggling?'
'My friend, I'm smuggling wheelbarrows.'
So it goes.

FIT36, first launched in 2014, is a HIIT-centric group-training concept with 11 studios in Colorado, California, Illinois, New Jersey and Washington. Its classes are based around a 36-minute-long signature HIIT regimen and was recently voted as the Denver area's best introductory workout by Westword magazine. Classes incorporate heart-rate-monitoring technology across various strength- and cardio-based exercises.
"We are thrilled to be the new franchisor for FIT36," Steve Kopshaw, Because We Investments partner and FIT36 CEO, said in a media release. "We have operated fitness and wellness franchise locations since 2007 including a FIT36 studio in New Jersey. We're confident the high-intensity interval training concept is here to stay and the FIT36 brand is well-positioned for growth in not only our existing markets but new markets as well."
FIT36 was founded in Denver by former U.S. Navy medic Brad Cooley and former firefighter Ned Matheson.
WellBiz Brands remains the owner of three wellness and fitness brands: Elements Massage, Fitness Together and Amazing Lash Studio, the latter of which it acquired in September 2018. WellBiz Brands' current portfolio includes more than 600 locations.
In August 2018, Elements Massage (No. 4,005) and Wellbiz Brands (No. 4,546) both appeared on the annual Inc. 5000 list, which ranks America's fastest-growing companies.

are you running military camp just for the reroll? wouldn't salt flats be better?
I don't want to give it to the opponent :(
Hey what do you thinkof taking out the batton and put in Intense Fire ? Since you have a good chance to have more red cards in play, with the plot so even obe resolution is killer but 2 of deja vu its game braiking.
And have you testet instead of the officer Conscript Squad ? Nice deck will try it out, also a fan of new phasma and will play her.
It took me a lot of courage to take out intense fire, it's an amazing card but I need control (my kind of play) - I'm still trying to chose between Conscript squad & Quicksilver baton (you are right, that's an amazing card!!!)
Have you thought about Rancorous? That's a nice 1-for-1 more often than not.
amazing idea - I take it right now thanks!!!
yesterday I tested against eplap3 and after mid game i got lost he got 2 resolves of bacta :(
Sir Joe, that is what probe/dejavu is for!

Good morning, everybody. I hope you're having a great day.
Today is Wednesday. Let's fire up this music.
This is your Entrepreneurial Injection. You're daring to do things differently, outside of the box thinking.
Thanks for joining me. Short and sweet.
I'm bringing on the energy of What If?
If you're an entrepreneur that has been creating something for the last, say, 10 to 20 years and you're looking for that new spark, I'm bringing in the What If. What if you were to do something radically different in your company? What if you were to take your company to that next level?
For all of you that are maybe even thinking about growing a business or starting a business, what if? What would be that thing for you what if you could do it?
My example for you today is back when I was in business for about 11 years and started playing with what if? I talked to two people: Carlos Tuinstra and John Stapp. Both of those men, we played with what if?
I'll never forget, pivotal moment in my life was talking to John Stapp about I had two employees and a business that was running. I had more free time than I probably needed. He said, "Well, what if we were to go big?" What if I was to go big and create something? What would that be?
And so, I'm like, "Well, I'd put 10 employees, I would have an auto spa where I could really do auto enhancement," before pimp my ride was a term. That sparked me going and then talking to Carlos and saying, "Hey, what if we were to start a company together? What if we were to run this company and blow it up on all different divisions, from having over 10 different divisions in one company, having 25 subcontractors, and serving the larger Bay area with pimping a ride?"
Within the next two years that What If turned into a reality where we found a location that was right next to the biggest BMW dealership in Northern California, Marin BMW. That What If created 10 employees, Carlos managing the auto spa, taking and even growing the commercial and residential window tinting.
All started with a What If? I want to bring that online, what could you bring out today and say What If? What if I were to do this?
For me, my What If is to now create a company again, a consulting and coaching company that influences large organizations. I'm putting together a team all over again, for me the most powerful coaches and consultants that are in my sphere and around me, and I'm going for it.
What if I create a company that goes into organizations from $10 to $20 million and takes them to $100 million? What if?
I'm challenging you. I've got to pull up my next round of my exit music, as you guys are starting to get used to here, I think. Here it is.
Making it short and sweet. But hey, man, go out radical, create something magnificent. What if you were to create something today that was outside of your norm? Take your company to the next level? Take your relationships to the next level? Work on your body to the next level? What if you were to go swim that one-mile open water swim that I'm doing on Saturday? Woo-hoo!
You can do it. Go out and have a great time. Love you. Make it a fantastic day. What if you could?

The world is stopping on November 25th this year. I will not be cooking. I will not be shopping. There will be no talking—a true Gilmore Girls fan knows that there's no talking while watching television anyway.
I will be parked in front of the big screen, pretending that I'm in Stars Hollow. I've been waiting almost 10 years for this reunion, and no one will interrupt it.
This list not only serves as a tribute to the best show to ever air, but it also doubles as my Christmas wish list. Wink. Wink.
It wouldn't be Stars Hollow without the best coffee in town.
Before you head down Main Street, be sure you grab your reusable Doose's Market bag.
Who wouldn't want to spend a night at The Dragonfly Inn?
Who could forget the Life and Death Brigade?
Even though Gilmore GIrls is on Netflix, it's still a good idea to have a backup.
Show off your Yale pride.
I'd weigh a million pounds if I did this all the time, but maybe I'll make some recipes for the premier.
Don't make any decisions without making a pro/con list.
We all have something that reminds us of our first love.
You need to store your favorite shade, Vicious Trollop, somewhere safe.
Only use this in awkward social situations.

The Marietta Sweet Corn Festival is a symbol of the regions agricultural history. It promotes local agriculture along with higher education. Profits from the festival back a scholarship program that rewards to Washington County High School seniors who pursue degrees in agriculture related areas and other degrees.
At the festival of course you can enjoy hot buttered Ohio sweet corn—along with that, there are events for all ages, foods prepared by local restaurants (besides sweet corn!) and all kinds of contests. One favorite, unsurprisingly is the corn hole tournament. There are also farm animals on display, historical exhibits, hayrides, and country music entertainers. It all takes place in beautiful, historic downtown Marietta.
The festival is dedicated to the growth and success of Marietta and the surrounding area. The festival is intended to bring people together and celebrate the agricultural history of Marietta and its people. Both the festival itself and the scholarship program it supports are intended to demonstrate the community spirit of Marietta and the Sweet Corn Festival.
The festival runs from Friday, July 13th to Saturday, July 14th.

Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Megaptera novaeangliae
Animal Type
krill, anchovies
to 62 feet (19 m), 53 tons (48,100 kg)
other baleen whales; Order: Cetacea; Family: Balaenoptiidae
all oceans
Natural History
Humpback whales are known for their distinctive, knobby heads and spectacular breaching displays. Animated acrobats, they're capable of launching their school-bus sized bodies entirely out of the water. A species of baleen whale, humpbacks migrate thousands of miles annually from their summer feeding grounds off the coast of California and Oregon to warmer winter breeding waters closer to the Equator. They have the most complex and varied songs of any whale species. Their haunting calls carry for miles beneath the sea.
In Monterey Bay
The humpbacks that visit our bay spend their winters in the warm waters near Costa Rica. Humpbacks, including mothers with newborn calves, travel thousands of miles to feast on krill and schooling fish in our waters. These mega mammals are in the bay from January through November. Often spotted by whale watching boats, humpbacks can sometimes be seen from the Aquarium's ocean-view decks. The unique white patches on their tail flukes, combined with notches in the flukes and other unique markings, make it possible to identify individual humpback whales, and thus track their movements across their entire lifespan. We see some whales return to the bay year after year.
Hunted to the brink of extinction, it's believed that humpbacks were reduced to less than 10 percent of their original numbers before a hunting moratorium was introduced in 1966. They were listed on the Endangered Species Act in 1973. Current threats to humpback whales include ship strikes, entanglement from fishing gear and harvest.
Cool Facts
- Instead of teeth, this filter-feeder has baleen plates that overlap to form a dense net used to strain millions of small shrimplike animals.
- Humpbacks work as a team when hunting for schooling fish. Once underwater, several humpbacks encircle the fish with a "bubble net"—making the fish believe they are trapped in a net of bubbles. Others position themselves beneath the school of fish and then rise, forcing the fish toward the surface. All the humpbacks involved in this effort then lunge up through the concentrated school of fish, feasting on thousands of prey in a single gulp with their cavernous mouths.

Hope ya really ready when it come for you
Not a human or a alien on the planet that can do it
Like I do it you put a mountain in front of me I go through it
I pursue it, danger
Never stoppin' the mangler
Nina tough with them wranglers
Give me lip I'mma bang ya
Never benevolent you wasn't ever the relevant
You thinkin' you 'bout to be but you are outta ya element
Bringin the hella win then came back in hella mint
Condition or to see my new wicked development
Never let up, ya never get up
It'll never be another competitor better than us
I been on it ya runnin' late the way Letterman does
You thinkin' you reaching' a level that's clever than what
I'mma gain it you don't get the picture then I'mma paint it
With the pain I came insane the Nina language
Thinkin' you gonna be up when I have to bring this anguish
Ain't no question I am truly the strangest!
I gotta shake it up for a minute
Tecca Nina got the greater percentage
And when I enter whatever I gotta win it
Try to get me in the corner ya finished
A lotta people defeated when I diminish
When I hit you need a hell of a dentist
I got the punch and the power that's intricate
Got you thinkin', "how did you get off into this?"
Make way
I'm coming through you (I'm coming through you)
There's nothing you can do (You can do)
It's my day, make waves
We crash into you (crash into you)
Your end is coming soon (coming soon)
I'm your base, so make waves
If life's a beach, can we go surfin'
It never been easy for me besides the birthday
And people they eat, the words I'm servin'
Then we can all feast, on what we think is deservin'
I'm a heart-breaker, wave-maker
And I'mma take a leap nothin' round the Kali baby
Been a ball-breaker, gate-maker
And I can stop and out ya mouth if ya gettin' lazy
I'm a typhoon tsunami, any whatever what just to get the salami
Try to be quick or we're quick to get ya behind me
I could belligerent nuttin', nothin' could calm me
I'mma take the wheel, bust ya grill
If it's an emergency bust a seal
You can see I make the mill, yes I will
Cause I got the skill to yield, plus the will
Put ya lights out, the fight's out
The mic is my knife and device and ya iced out
Pull my windpipe out, that or the thing of a singer
I'mma rip it though they might shout
Cause I'm a sore loser
If I'm defeated and heated, better be headed right for the door
And I'm a born bruiser
When ya get beated and seated, then I'll be ready to give you more
I can keep goin' and never stop
Easy as breathin' to me and if you don't believe me
Pay me attention until I pop
Eager to eat 'em and never need a reason whether

Singin' I'm leavin' the speed is unbelievable
That you better never give them a shot
I don't know how to behave, just know how to (make waves)

It's my day, make waves
We crash into you (crash into you)
Your end is coming soon (coming soon)
I'm your base, so make waves
Yeah, you seen me make waves, when I became Strange
And dominated but you ain't never gave praise
You be talkin' shit on Instagram inside a safe place
When I see you and confront you then you try to save face
And vacate, okay kid, I'm about to go grade A
There's no name sake but won't gain fans
They got my name and nuts hangin' so low they scraped
I'm still hungry, it's like I'm stuck in the 08 state of mind
My mom is so space aged, and don't get it
Told critics, go stick it, don't get yo dome split
Yo whole shit'll look like Riddick Bowe hit it
Oh shit his bone's stickin' out I think it's broken
Now go freakin' dial 911, homie I run run
My city we don't play that kiddie shit where I come from
You high dum dum? You really think you fight on one?
You wanna take my strange chain and my nine gun drum
A future icon son, you just a ho ass bitch
You go ass kiss anybody the blow as is
You try to be somethin' you're not my shit is dope as is
You got some dope ad-libs and that's sick as shit
It's so average, we ain't similar, homie check ya temperature
You fuck with me and you will need a medical examiner
Put hands on rappers ramblin', put handles on ya manager
They said I'm from Atlanta, damn it I am not from Canada
I came in the game and I represented
Jonny Valiant in this bitch there's no mystery
They'll be killin' it, keepin' it independent
Tecca Nina is the leader given me the check
I hate it now say no more I'ma get 'em
Well Kali baby they be crazy
They charming, they just admire the cycle that I invented
My sophomore album 'bout to come out any minute
I'm about to make waves

It's bitter sweet when you play against a former teammate and friend. It's even harder when that teammate is a baller goalkeeper who has the game of their life and their success means your shortcomings. Or visa versa. But this game ended in a dear friends' favor and kinda hurt my team a little bit.
We came into this game knowing this team we were facing can score and has scored on us. We knew it would be a battle and winning meant we kept our decent lead in the table. But when we started the match, so much went wrong for us. So much could have been better. So much was going right for that good friend of mine. She just happened to be the keeper for the other team. And she's a baller.
We had a few spectacular chances and the beginning that she just shut down completely. Then, the thing that doesn't really happen much to us happened. We got scored on. So early it was a shock to us and our fans. The whole half seemed to be flying by after that. We weren't supposed to lose this game. It was so surreal. Then, we got a corner. It shot across the goal and came to me. I took a touch and shot hard with my left foot. It was going in and then boom. A defender stops it. But then it bounced right to one of my players and GOAL!!! 1-1 from the comeback kids.
Second half was also unlucky for us in so many ways. My keeper friend was unbelievable. She stopped things like a pro and I was proud and annoyed with her all at the same time. Then it happened again. That thing that hardly ever happens to us. Especially never happens twice in one game! They scored. Again! Like whaaaaaat? Why? Who? When? How? I couldn't believe it. The time was ticking away and it felt like our season was as well. I couldn't help thinking this couldn't be how our season undefeated streak ends. And then. Corner for us. Ball goes to the middle. We score. We go crazy! Comeback kids at it again! And within minutes we get another opportunity. Sanna shoots, keeper friend saves it, our little one follows and hits in it!! We go wild and so does the crowd! But wait, we hear the whistle and they call that goal back because they think she was offsides. Ugh.
But a point instead of no points was enough for the day. Coming back from goals is no easy task. It's like walking up hill…with weights on your ankles…in the snow….with a 10 pound backpack on. Just to give a little perspective. But we did it. We are still undefeated and proud as ever of our comeback point. Now onto another opponent who was a pain in our back sides last time as well.


text: All you doom and gloom merchants on Trump winning 4 more years need to remember he won by 70k votes. The electoral collage vote looked great for him but he won several key districts by a very narrow margin. His base does not get him 4 more years. He needs to take a good chunk of independents and Obama voters as well. I'm not saying he won't but its far from being in the bag. Way too early to be calling anything.

USA Pocket Top - Copper
$ 40.00
This pocket top is struck from pure copper and weighs in at 1.8 ounces. It measures 2¾ inches from California to Maine and is ⅛ of an inch thick. The top spins around the geographic center of the contiguous United States, near Lebanon, KS.
Perfectly balanced on a silicon nitride ceramic contact point for maximum spin times, the hard ceramic point is swaged in place and permanently attached. Softer spin points will wear and flatten, eventually reducing spin times. The spinner is bent slightly concave for easier spinning and to clear most spin stations.
- Average spin time is 2-3 minutes
- The USA Pocket Top has been finished with an even, weathered finish so scuffing and scratches won't show if you choose to add it to your everyday carry and keep it in your pocket or bag.
- To achieve spin times over 4 minutes, you will need the right surface and lots of practice
- Spinning base is not included
Other Notes:
- Due to the nature of the manufacturing process you pocket top may have some minor scratches and blemishes.
- Warranty: None

Snacks, Water, and Allergy Information
Snacks will be served mid-morning to all ages at the same time.
There will be water stations in several areas throughout Camp New Hope. If you are a Group Leader, please encourage the children in your group to drink water whenever they pass a station. We want to make sure everyone stays well hydrated and healthy.
Children who have food or other allergies will wear bracelets. If you are a VBS Logistics Volunteer or a Group Leader, please assist in identifying these children and making sure they wear their bracelets. Logistics volunteers will try to assist during check-in. Group Leaders, please check your rosters each day to make sure children with allergies are identified.
If a child with allergies requires an Epi-pen, inhaler or other medication on-site, it should be clearly labeled and given to the Group Leader and placed in the Group Leader backpack. Please communicate to Nancy or Stephanie if you have a child with medications in your group.
Volunteer Parking at Camp New Hope
On days you volunteer at Camp New Hope, we ask that you park in the paved parking lot near New Hope Presbyterian Church and walk down to the VBS camp area (see map).
Group Leader General Information
- We will provide each team of Group Leaders with a backpack. This backpack will travel with you and your students, and it will contain a roster (including contact and allergy information), first aid supplies, and portable snacks. You will also have some room to store other items children in your group might bring.
- You do not need to transport any crafts or art projects from station to station. CRAFTS WILL BE COLLECTED BY VBS VOLUNTEERS AND KEPT UNTIL THURSDAY, WHEN THEY WILL BE SENT HOME ALL AT ONCE. Parents utilizing the carpool line will receive these items there; parents who choose to walk up and pick up their children may retrieve their child's craft bag from the area near the Storytelling Tent.
- Please familiarize yourself with the story for the day before arriving at VBS. There is a list of our daily lessons available in the Participant Information.
- Group Leader teams will consist of at least two adults. We also hope to place at least one Youth Volunteer with each age group.
Group Leader Carpool Line Protocol
For a full description of the carpool line drop off/pick up system, please see the map, diagram and explanation in the Participant Information.
Ideally, one Group Leader will participate each day in the morning and afternoon carpool lines at Camp New Hope. In the morning, this Group Leader will wait near the carpool line in a designated area as children in his/her group arrive. The Group Leader will verify the children's attendance, distribute nametags, and verify allergy information where needed. After a few children have gathered, a Youth Volunteer will take the group of children to the official gathering spot at the morning All-Camp Gathering, where the other Group Leader(s) will wait for their arrival.
In the afternoon, Group Leaders should remain with their group in designated areas as children are picked up for the day. As children are picked up by their parents or called for carpool line, please indicate on your roster sheet that they have been picked up for the day.
Group Leader Schedule Information
- We hope the Group Schedules will make your job as Group Leader even more enjoyable. As Group Leaders, the children will look to you for guidance and assistance throughout the day.
- Because our carpool line begins at 8:30 a.m., we ask that you arrive at your group gathering station or your carpool line area no later than 8:15 a.m. each morning. Childcare will be available for children of volunteers beginning at 8:15 a.m. (see section on childcare for details).
- As Group Leaders, you are also responsible for keeping your group on schedule at Camp New Hope. To ensure smooth transitions between stations, please be aware of the time and allow a few minutes for cleanup and rotation before heading on to the next station.
- For a detailed schedule for each age group, please click here.
4th and 5th Grade Group Leaders – Special Information
Please note: These details are subject to change.
4th and 5th graders will continue to meet at the Back Pavilion Monday-Thursday at Camp New Hope after the All Camp Gathering. All of your supplies will be provided for you in your shelter. We believe we have packed adequate supplies; however, if you find you need something at any time, please come to the Craft Pavilion.
As Group Leaders, you will be instructing and leading the Service Project for your group. We will have instructions and examples for you. If you need help at any time, however, please contact Nancy Myer or Megan Crunkleton.
On Wednesday (rain day is Thursday), your group will have time to swim in the Camp New Hope pool. There are lifeguards on duty, but we ask that at least one Group Leader stay with the group during that time (you do not have to swim, but may be seated in the pool area).
Parents may pick up their children in the carpool line at the front of camp, or they may park at New Hope Presbyterian Church and walk up.
VBS logistics volunteers will transport your campers' crafts to the front part of camp, where they will be available to take home.
Thank you again for dedicating your time and talents to VBS at UPC.
Let us know what we can do to make your experience the best it can be.

Newman University 2nd Year Drama presents
23 - 24 Apr in the Studio at 7.30pm | Matinee: Fri 24 April 2pm
Anticipated running time: 1 hours, 30 minutes
Please note this is an estimated running time and may be subject to change
On 16th January 1969 student Jan Palach set fire to himself in Wenceslas Square, Prague in protest at both the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and the perceived indifference of the Czech people.
Alan Burns' neglected experimental work uses collage techniques, reminiscent of Schwitters' Merz, Burroughs' cut up method and the Happenings of Kaprow. Burns' shines a torch on the noise, both metaphorical and literal, which surround and obscure Palach's desperate and heroic final act. Though first performed in 1970 at the Open Space Theatre under the direction of Charles Marowitz, the play and Palach's sacrifice continue to provide a light to illuminate the world in which we live.
Please note: Herbal cigarettes will be used in this performance.
Tickets: £8 | £5 Cons
Ticket Offer: 6 tickets for the price of 5
(Simply add 6 tickets to the basket in one transaction and the ticket offer will apply automatically)

Press Release: 3rd April 2013 State Enterprises Workers Relations For more information on this statement, please contact Mr. Savit Kaewvarn (General Secretary, SERC) on +66 863 361110 (Thai language only) The State Enterprise Workers Relations Confederation of Thailand (SERC) is an employees confederation combining 45 state enterprise and private sector labour unions with a total membership of over 200, 000 employees. SERC prioritises worker and human rights protection and promotion in both national and international arenas. The situation regarding violations against worker and human rights in Thailand continues increasingly to be in danger, with every day seeing more negative developments, deterioration and new forms of violations. Thai union leaders and Thai unions, alongside huge numbers of migrant workers, are living and working in Thailand together, led by SERC, and are struggling to cope with all these kinds of violations. Recently, the prosecution against worker rights defender Mr. Andy Hall arose. Andy has for almost a decade campaigned genuinely and tirelessly for migrant workers in Thailand and actively worked with SERC as our voluntary international advisor. Since SERC has worked with Andy, we found out that he is very effective in his work and he is also always committed to following up every situation regarding violation against migrant workers that is brought to his attention, as well as cooperating with every stakeholder inside the country and overseas who is willing to cooperate with him. In many situations over the years, Andy has been forced to publically disclose violation cases where employers of migrant workers, both Myanmar, Cambodian and Laotian, violated the law and human and labour rights of workers. Those disclosures have increasingly frustrated some employers, government officials and politicians. However, the campaigns for migrant worker rights led by Andy Hall are always straightforward. He has always aimed to campaign without any intention of destroying or punishing anyone. The objective of his work is solely to protect worker and migrant rights so as to promote the treatment of these workers in accordance with international standards. Indeed, Andys work has benefitted every stakeholder involved including governments, employers, factories and particularly migrant
workers themselves. Andy Hall has worked tirelessly with SERC and the Migrant Worker Rights Network (MWRN), the latter which he assisting in forming and empowering, in campaigning on violations against worker rights in many factories. Indeed, many factories which Andy has engaged have been much cooperative to improve rights violation situations. His tireless work to stop systematic exploitation against migrant workers in Thailand has now obstructed the unlawful activities of Natural Fruit Company Ltd., a company producing and exporting fruit juice and canned fruit, part of the larger Nat Group. Andy has been prosecuted in criminal cases of defamation and under Thailands Computer Crimes Act by Natural Fruit. Moreover, he is also facing prosecution in a civil case for 300 million baht damages. The prosecution cites harm caused by the public dissemination of his research for Finnwatch, a Finnish organization working for consumer protection. Finnwatch researched three factories in Thailand that produce goods and exports to Finland. In accordance with rules and regulations, the factories concerned must respect worker rights, legally hire employees as well as providing safety and occupational working conditions for all workers, migrant or otherwise. SERC are very concerned with the prosecution of Andy Hall. This case will and has already created a negative impact on Natural Fruit Company Ltd and will also affect Thailands exports to Europe and to other regions around the world. Even worse, this prosecution could potentially destroy Thailands reputation even further as increasing violations against worker rights and human trafficking in Thailand are already being watched closely by the international community. As an affiliate of International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), SERC has already submitted the letter to ITUC in requesting the assistance from ITUC to help Mr.Hall. And SERC will support and attempt to always protect Andy Hall and will campaign on worker rights and human rights for both Thai and migrant workers on a domestic and international level with the following demands: 1. The management of Natural Fruit Company Ltd. should drop their prosecutions against Andy Hall and change the companys direction to develop worker rights mechanisms. 2. The Thai Government should urgently act to resolve this case. 3. Domestic and international unions, NGOs, human rights advocates and media should cooperate in Thailand and overseas to campaign and protect all human and worker rights defenders in Thailand, including importantly at this time Andy Hall.

Out 8 March 2018
The Disappearance
Twelve years ago Finn's girlfriend disappeared.
The Suspicion
He told the police the truth about that night.
Just not quite the whole truth.
The Fear
Now Finn has moved on.
But his past won't stay buried…
The book opens 12 years ago the night Layla goes missing. It moves between then and now and we come to know what happened as Finn tells his story. And now he's with Ellen and they're going to get married but then the dolls appear and the emails arrive and there's more to what happened twelve years ago than even Finn realised and it's bringing the past right back.
Using different narrators we are led through this twisting, turning and, ultimately, rather sad tale. Even though you may not be to engaged with all the characters and there are some frustrating elements when common sense should kick in, but that would make for a different type of story, there's enough here to keep the reader going because even if you think you've worked it out, and maybe you've got it right, you still have just enough doubt to want to know you are right. You still want the why and how.
It's a good read, well-written and there are plenty of readers out there who will love it.

Have You Ever Been Afraid? Matthew 10 - Fear is something that all of us have experienced. The disciples here were probably experiencing some fear as well!

The XTS family of Vodavi phone systems can refer to a number of distinct systems. While there is some crossover in compatibility between the phones, it can frequently depend entirely on what software level your KSU is running. If you're confused about what phones you need for your specific application (and in the world of Vodavi, you are not alone), please contact us and we will try to clarify the differenes and point you in the right direction.
XTS phones cover a wide range of systems: the Triad XTS, XTS-C, XTS-IP and the XTS-3000 all fall under this umbrella. To complicate matters even further, Vodavi was acquired by Vertical Communications while this system was still in production, meaning that you may find these phones branded with either Vodavi or Vertical although the underlying technology is the same.

Most of the materials, techniques and crafts used to build single or small groups of houses in the UK have remained essentially the same for centuries. Masonry construction, the tried and tested method of creating a good, solid wall has been around since the Romans. Even cavity wall construction, still considered a relatively recent innovation by some, has been around since the early 19th century.
In October 2010 the building regulations covering heat loss, energy use and insulation requirements were tightened up, as were the rules controlling the air tightness of new homes. The impact of these changes has been muted, because all that is needed to comply is extra insulation, slightly better quality control on site and maybe a little less glazing. However these rules are going to be ratcheted up in 2013 and again in 2016. The demands that will be placed on the fabric of all new houses will be such that it will be difficult and certainly much more expensive to build using traditional methods.The regulations now require the energy use of the building to be looked at in its entirety. This means that it is possible to trade-off the use of lots of glass by increasing the thickness of the insulation, or installing renewable energy sources such as solar panels. However, to comply with the future regulations, it is likely that insulation in the walls will have to be 150mm thick or more. Although it is possible to build a cavity wall with that level of insulation, the overall wall thickness that results is at least 350mm. This requires more expensive lintels and reduces the width of the rooms to noticeable effect in smaller houses.The regulations will also require that the standard of construction is very high, because gaps left between insulation, blobs of mortar or steel lintels bridging the cavity start to have a bigger effect on heat loss. Quality control during construction of a cavity wall is difficult because as it is built the insulation is concealed between the two masonry leaves. The only way a building control officer could be sure that insulation is being fitted absolutely correctly is to be on site continuously, which is obviously impractical.
All this means that once the new regulations begin to bite, building a cavity wall will be significantly more expensive and harder to justify than at present. This does not mean that masonry construction will disappear. The extensive range of skills available in the UK workforce will probably make an alternative to cavity walls, such as solid wall construction with insulation fixed to the outside, affordable. But it is likely that that the image of the traditional English brick house will have to be rethought because render or timber cladding will be more logical choices.
Aside from prompting a move away from cavity wall construction there are some other influences that the regulations will have on the design and construction of homes. Buildings can be orientated to gain heat from the sun in winter, with large overhangs above windows to prevent overheating in the summer. Turf roofs help insulate a building, provide greenery in urban areas and also help to reduce the surface water load on the drains. These features make a house look quite different to the traditional 'dream home' of a cottage in the countryside.
It is likely that in the next few years there will be an explosion of different construction methods as we experiment to see which works the best. Eventually there will be winners and losers and the few that are most popular will dominate. Builders will have to adapt to the new requirements at lightning speed by comparison with rate of change they have been used to in the past. Although this presents some problems, it will be an exciting time for anyone involved in the designing and construction of houses.
The Building Regulations:
•2010: 25% reduction required in carbon emissions when compared to the 2006 regulations. This is same level required by Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3.
•2013: 44% reduction on 2006 level, which is equivalent to CSH Level 4.
