I know someone who has sinned.
They are sorry and repentant.
They have spoken to their church pastor about this sin and have expressed sorrow.
[My hunch; they are sorry they got caught and are afraid of losing their family.]
I could be wrong, I want to be wrong, and I pray to God I'm wrong.
They have committed this same sin a couple of times before. I'm not sure if they stated, publicly or privately, they were sorry on those former occasions.
Whenever I see this person, my thoughts go to their demeanor; this person is mean-spirited and nasty to the people around them. The people who love this person the most.
I realize now that is guilt coming forth from this person.
My thought on the being repentant; it is the act of sorrow and shame and turning away from that sorrowful act.
Can a person be repentant if they continue to sin, the same sin, over and over?
Have they 'turned' away from the sorrowful act they committed?
I'm not trying to judge, I'm trying to figure out this person, their motives for the repentance now and if this person really knows what the word repentance is?
Do any of us?

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary – Cite This Source
There are three Greek words used in the New Testament to denote repentance. (1.) The verb _metamelomai_ is used of a change of mind, such as to produce regret or even remorse on account of sin, but not necessarily a change of heart. This word is used with reference to the repentance of Judas (Matt. 27:3).(2.) Metanoeo, meaning to change one's mind and purpose, as the result of after knowledge.
This verb, with (3) the cognate noun _metanoia_, is used of true repentance, a change of mind and purpose and life, to which remission of sin is promised. Evangelical repentance consists of (1) a true sense of one's own guilt and sinfulness; (2) an apprehension of God's mercy in Christ; (3) an actual hatred of sin (Ps. 119:128; Job 42:5, 6; 2 Cor. 7:10) and turning from it to God; and (4) a persistent endeavour after a holy life in a walking with God in the way of his commandments. The true penitent is conscious of guilt (Ps. 51:4, 9), of pollution (51:5, 7, 10), and of helplessness (51:11; 109:21, 22). Thus he apprehends himself to be just what God has always seen him to be and declares him to be.
But repentance comprehends not only such a sense of sin, but also an apprehension of mercy, without which there can be no true repentance (Ps. 51:1; 130:4).

III. The Psychological Elements. (I thought these to be very interesting)
1. The Intellectual Element:
Repentance is that change of a sinner's mind which leads him to turn from his evil ways and live. The change wrought in repentance is so deep and radical as to affect the whole spiritual nature and to involve the entire personality. The intellect must function, the emotions must be aroused, and the will must act. Psychology shows repentance to be profound, personal and all-pervasive. The intellectual element is manifest from the nature of man as an intelligent being, and from the demands of God who desires only rational service. Man must apprehend sin as unutterably heinous, the divine law as perfect and inexorable, and himself as coming short or falling below the requirements of a holy God (Job 42:5,6; Psalms 51:3; Romans 3:20).
2. The Emotional Element:
There may be a knowledge of sin without turning from it as an awful thing which dishonors God and ruins man. The change of view may lead only to a dread of punishment and not to the hatred and abandonment of sin (Exodus 9:27; Numbers 22:34; Joshua 7:20; 1 Samuel 15:24; Matthew 27:4). An emotional element is necessarily involved in repentance. While feeling is not the equivalent of repentance, it nevertheless may be a powerful impulse to a genuine turning from sin. A penitent cannot from the nature of the case be stolid and indifferent. The emotional attitude must be altered if New Testament repentance be experienced. There is a type of grief that issues in repentance and another which plunges into remorse. There is a godly sorrow and also a sorrow of the world. The former brings life; the latter, death (Matthew 27:3; Luke 18:23; 2 Corinthians 7:9,10). There must be a consciousness of sin in its effect on man and in its relation to God before there can be a hearty turning away from unrighteousness. The feeling naturally accompanying repentance implies a conviction of personal sin and sinfulness and an earnest appeal to God to forgive according to His mercy (Psalms 51:1,2,10-14).
3. The Volitional Element:
The most prominent element in the psychology of repentance is the voluntary, or volitional. This aspect of the penitent's experience is expressed in the Old Testament by "turn", or "return," and in the New Testament by "repent" or "turn." The words employed in the Hebrew and Greek place chief emphasis on the will, the change of mind, or of purpose, because a complete and sincere turning to God involves both the apprehension of the nature of sin and the consciousness of personal guilt (Jeremiah 25:5; Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38; 2 Corinthians 7:9,10). The demand for repentance implies free will and individual responsibility. That men are called upon to repent there can be no doubt, and that God is represented as taking the initiative in repentance is equally clear. The solution of the problem belongs to the spiritual sphere. The psychical phenomena have their origin in the mysterious relations of the human and the divine personalities. There can be no external substitute for the internal change. Sackcloth for the body and remorse for the soul are not to be confused with a determined abandonment of sin and return to God. Not material sacrifice, but a spiritual change, is the inexorable demand of God in both dispensations (Psalms 51:17; Isaiah 1:11; Jeremiah 6:20; Hosea 6:6).
Repentance is only a condition of salvation and not its meritorious ground. The motives for repentance are chiefly found in the goodness of God, in divine love, in the pleading desire to have sinners saved, in the inevitable consequences of sin, in the universal demands of the gospel, and in the hope of spiritual life and membership in the kingdom of heaven (Ezekiel 33:11; Mark 1:15; Luke 13:1-5; John 3:16; Acts 17:30; Romans 2:4; 1 Timothy 2:4). The first four beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-6) form a heavenly ladder by which penitent souls pass from the dominion of Satan into the Kingdom of God. A consciousness of spiritual poverty dethroning pride, a sense of personal unworthiness producing grief, a willingness to surrender to God in genuine humility, and a strong spiritual desire developing into hunger and thirst, enter into the experience of one who wholly abandons sin and heartily turns to Him who grants repentance unto life.
From here
Ok, again I have made this too long, but this is good stuff.
My conclusion is that repentance is a turning away from sin and turning to God.
A heart, mind and soul change.
I don't think this person will read this, but if they do I pray it gets through to them, it makes a difference, changes a heart, heals open wounds.
Blessings, Kristina

D.N.A. backs lore on pre-Columbian dogsBreaking News
tags: human evolution, genetics, DNA, dogs, animal domestication
BISHOPVILLE, S.C. — Inside a fenced acre on the swampy Lynches River flood plain in central South Carolina, seven of Don Anderson's primitive dogs spring into high alert at approaching strangers. Medium-sized, they fan out amid his junkyard of improvised habitat: a few large barrels to dig under, an abandoned camper shell from a pickup, segments of black plastic water pipe and backhoed dirt mounds overgrown with waist-high ragweed....
Some Carolina dogs still live in the wild, and local people have long thought they were one of the few breeds that predated the European arrival in the Americas: "Our native dog," as Michael Ruano, another enthusiast who often works with Mr. Anderson, put it. "America's natural dog."
Now, a new study of canine DNA backs up the folklore. A team led by Peter Savolainen at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden has reported that several dog breeds in the Americas — among them the Peruvian hairless, the Chihuahua and the Carolina dog — are without some genetic markers indicative of European origin, suggesting they arrived in an earlier migration from Asia....

Re: Timetable project of mine
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2018 9:02 am
Thanks for that. I recall thinking at the time not another composite timetable (I find them pointless to be honest). There are no links to them on the Transperth timetable page and was able to get copies by getting them from the url of them. I am slowly working my way through the changes of 7 Oct (there were 37 of them) and will incorporate this one into that when done.shinjiman wrote:"Bus Timetable 87" exists on 20171119, 20180128 and now 20181007, as the composited timetables along Morrison Road Midland.
Routes included in this timetable are 313, 314, 315, 323, 324, 325 and 327.
As described before this timetable will be updated as a pair from Bus Timetable 86.

One Rainy Night
By: Richard Laymon
5/5 stars
The death of a Haitian teen leaves a town in turmoil.
The night after a boy's death, it begins to rain. Black rain. Whenever the residents come into contact with the precipitation, they turn into homicidal, sex crazed maniacs. I loved this story. It is what I consider true dark fiction. Aside from the brutal deaths and insane characters, the elements of horror were unforgettable. I cringed when we found out what was causing the downpour that night. I enjoyed the back stories of each group of characters and how no one, no matter how likeable, was exempt from the symptoms of a psychopathic murderer once they were washed down.
The story was told in true Laymon fashion, some sexual undertones and gore tossed throughout. None of this took away from the story which was awesome.
If you like horror and suspense with a dash of gore, check this out. It's so worth it.

Marines showcased the Osprey in mainland Japan
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (VMM-265) showcased the MV-22 Osprey capabilities Oct. 25-26 at Fleet Activities Yokosuka and Hyakuri Air Base, Japan
US Marine Corps, October 29, 2014 - FLEET ACTIVITIES YOKOSUKA, Japan by Lance Cpl. Abbey Perria – Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 showcased the MV-22 Osprey's capabilities Oct. 25 – 26 at Fleet Activities Yokosuka and Hyakuri Air Base, Japan.
The Japan Self Defense Force invited VMM-265 to the Hyakuri Air Review's 60th anniversary Oct. 26, so the Japanese can continue to familiarize themselves with the Osprey.
"There are a lot of questions still regarding the MV-22 in Japan," said U.S. Marine Maj. Giuseppe Stavale, a foreign area officer with 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. "We were able to explain to the prime minister, and to those listening in, about the capabilities of the aircraft and its safety. We're very proud that we were invited and able to go to a national level air review and showcase what we have and how that contributes to the alliance."
The Osprey is able to respond quickly and provide supplies and medical aid in case of crises or limited contingency operations.
"We are forward deployed in the Pacific Theater to better support the security alliance with Japan and other nations," said U.S. Marine Maj. Benjamin J. DeBardeleben, executive officer for VMM-265, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st MAW, III MEF.
Before arriving at the air review, Marines gave Japanese officials a familiarization flight in the aircraft Oct. 25 at Fleet Activities Yokosuka.
"I used to operate the (MH-60S Seahawk), but the Osprey was quieter and during the take-off I was able to feel the power and its ability right away," said Japan Maritime Self Defense Force Rear Adm. Masato Nakanishi, Chief of Staff, Commandant Yokosuka District. "I liked the fact that you can rappel and do fast roping out of the aircraft."
Throughout the visit, Marines answered questions about the Osprey's specifications; such as its load capacity and how much faster, farther, and higher it can fly than the CH-46E Sea Knight, the helicopter it replaced.
"The MV-22 Osprey provides increased capabilities and quicker response times during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions," said DeBardeleben.
"These improvements translate to significant capabilities during operations," said Stavale, from Cincinnati, Ohio. "Japan is made up of thousands of islands. They don't have long runways. The Osprey can land just about anywhere because they can land like a helicopter, so that's a big deal."

View image. The line to get into Invesco Field at Mile High for Barack Obama's acceptance speech last night seemed to go on forever – but just how long was it?
Using Westword's advanced mapping tools (Google, a ruler and a calculator), we traced and measured the line's route at about 5:30 p.m. yesterday. As you can see above, the event's organizers chose a, um, circuitous route through Invesco's parking lots.Unfortunately, Google's technology didn't allow us to zoom in enough to highlight the trash-strewn alleyways, slippery hillsides and former meth labs that greeted the wary, sun-baked attendees along the way.
So how long was this queue, exactly? According to our supremely questionable math, at this point in time the line was just over two miles long. In other words, stretched end to end the line would have reached to Coors Field. Of course, then those in line wouldn't have been able to enjoy all that nifty parking-lot scenery. – Joel Warner and Jared Jacang Maher

Corrective breast surgery refers to several types of cosmetic breast correction, such as breast implant revision and inverted nipple correction. Dr. Gregory Thomas Fisher performs these procedures with utmost kill, specifically tailored to your conditions. It is therefore impossible to inform you in particular.
Generally speaking, however, there are many types of complaints patients come to us with desire to revise their previous breast augmentation. Breast augmentation is a very popular procedure. Among the many women who undergo breast augmentation, a relatively small number of them do not achieve their desired outcome. If you have undergone breast augmentation surgery and are not satisfied with the result, you can choose to have a breast implant revision at the Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center in Cerritos Towne Center.
What Does Breast Implant Revision Correct?
Even if Dr. Fisher did not perform your original breast augmentation, he can help you improve your results through breast implant revision. Dr. Fisher performs breast implant revision in order to:
- Change the size of your implants,
- Improve breast symmetry
- Replace a ruptured implant
- Correct symmastia or treat capsular contracture.
In most cases, patients only undergo a revision procedure if they have completely healed from breast augmentation.
How Is Breast Implant Revision Performed?
Implant revision surgery is similar to your original augmentation surgery. Dr. Fisher will make incisions, typically in the same location as the first operation. These allow Dr. Fisher to reposition your implants or replace a ruptured implant. Your recovery will be very similar to your original breast augmentation recovery. You should rest, wear your supportive bra, and avoid lifting heavy objects. Dr. Fisher and his staff will provide specific instructions after the surgery. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU FOLLOW DR.FISHER'S POST OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS, because any complications caused by your negligence in not following Dr.Fisher's instructions will result in another corrective surgery, which is not a part of your first or second procedure.
Inverted Nipple Correction (For Inverted or Prominent Nipples)
Nipples may be naturally flat or indented, and not project to the desired position. You may choose to undergo an inverted nipple correction procedure in order to improve the appearance of your breasts.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding can create prominent nipples and make nipples long, wide, and droopy. Prominent nipples can overshadow the youthful look of a breast enhancement. Correction of the nipple can complement breast augmentation or breast lift.
You can undergo inverted nipple correction in order to gain:
- a more beautiful and proportioned contour,
- an improved breast appearance,
- breasts that appear more youthful.
How Is Inverted Nipple Correction Performed?
To correct an inverted nipple, small incisions are made near the nipple to allow access to the underlying structure. Tissues in the nipple are spread (inverted nipples) or contracted (prominent nipples), and dissolvable sutures are placed in the nipple.
A special stent may be placed for 1-3 days to ensure that your nipple is held in the correct position as it heals. The sutures in your nipple dissolve in several weeks. Inverted nipples are corrected with great care to preserve the milk ducts.
If you are interested in a corrective breast procedure, such as implant revision or inverted nipple correction, contact Dr. Fisher's office at 562 865 9600 for a confidential consultation.

TAIPEI–Taiwan's ruling party suffered its second major electoral setback in a month Saturday, losing three byelections as the president's popular support sags following a slew of administrative blunders.
The opposition Democratic Progressive Party won the three legislative seats in Taoyuan, Taitung and Taichung counties, the Central Election Commission said. Despite the setback, the ruling Nationalist Party still dominates the 106-seat legislature, controlling 73 seats against the DPP's 30.
The DPP's strong showing at the polls could give it a boost in morale though and allow it to hit harder at President Ma Ying-jeou, especially his signature policy to engage China economically.
"Voters widely feel this is an incapable government," said political commentator Shen Fu-hsiung.
Ma's popularity in opinion polls has plunged to a low of 20-30 per cent since August, when Typhoon Morakot took an estimated 700 lives amid complaints about the government's botched rescue and relief effort. When he took office in May 2008, his support was more than 60 per cent.
Ma has since relaxed control on two-way trade and investment with China, and launched direct air and shipping links.
The pro-independence DPP is particularly critical of Ma's push for a free trade pact with China, which it believes will undermine Taiwan's sovereignty and cost its workers thousands of jobs amid a flood of cheap Chinese imports.
Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949, and China continues to claim the island as its own.
In recent weeks, Ma has come under renewed fire for a decision to remove a partial ban on imports of U.S. beef, and the parliament's subsequent vote to reinstate the ban further undermined Ma's credibility.
Nationalist Party Secretary General Chin Po-chung said his party ``will face the setback" of Saturday's polls and "move ahead with reforms."
In December's mayoral and county vote, the DPP held onto its three magistracy positions and won one back from the Nationalists.

Iran vows 500k bpd rise in oil output by January
Iran says it can increase its oil production by 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) within a week immediately after the removal of sanctions against the country.
Iran's Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh has said the country's crude production capacity can further increase by above 1 million bpd within a month after all sanctions are lifted – what he said is expected to take place by the end of September.
"Some of the most effective sanctions [against Iran] with regards to the oil industry were those that targeted aspects such as sales, volumes, shipment, insurance and the transfer of money," Zangeneh said in an interview broadcast live on Iran's state TV on Saturday night.
"If those issues are resolved, Iran will regain the market share that it has lost which amounts to above one million barrels per day."
The Iranian minister added that Tehran has informed OPEC about its determination to regain its lost market share, stressing that the country will require "nobody's authorization to retrieve its rights".
Elsewhere in his remarks, Zangeneh rejected as "unfair" criticisms that Iran is to blame for the plunge in the international prices of oil.
"The issue of oil prices is very complicated," he said. "There is a strong political will [beyond Iran's borders] that does not want the prices to rise."
Zangeneh said he anticipates a further fall in oil prices if OPEC fails to make room for incoming Iranian oil volumes.
He warned that the countries which have a high production capacity will suffer from this.
Zangeneh said Iran has already started a marketing campaign for its projected extra crude production supplies.
"There are some who say it will take one and a half years for Iran to increase its oil production," said Zangeneh. "I recommend they watch how this [the rapid rise in Iran's oil output] will take place".

We very much enjoyed our first Christmas in our new home. One of the most exciting events was the purchase and delivery of the anitqu-ish dining set I had mentioned in my last post. You guys, I'm so excited about it and can't believe I almost left it behind. It has filled the space perfectly and is in much better shape than I thought (do you do that, pick things apart when you're contemplating purchasing and then you make the decision to buy and you can't remember what was so wrong with it in the first place?!). The leaves will eventually need refinishing and the buffet and hutch need new hardware, but nothing needs to be done immediately, which is nice.
Pictures, yes...here they are:
We're going to try switching the position of the hutch and the china cabinet.
I also picked up my newly framed Cozamia print, ah-mazing!
You guys, be sure to check Costco for framing, so affordable and they did a fabulous job. We are using our old dining room chairs. I need to recover the ones that came with the set, so they are in the basement until that gets done. I'm also hoping to find a gorgeous off white rug that I had spotted a while back at Homesense and loved, but didn't know where I'd use it. Now I do, hope they get another.
We ate Christmas dinner at our new-to-us dining table. So much space, totally exciting.
Christmas morning brought lots of loveliness, we are thankful. Two of my favourite gifts were these comfy slippers and this cozy blanket. I like to get cozy. ha!
We then headed to Ottawa for New Years. Spent NYE tobogganing at an awesome hill by our parents place. We used to go here when we were our kids ages, so it was pretty cool to bring our own kids there. We all had a blast, but truth be told, my butt is still killing me! I'm getting old, ha!
And now here we are, back home, enjoying the last few days of our winter vacation. Christmas decor is coming down, organizing the house is our number one task. The New Year is here and it's a great feeling. It seems as though many people are taking 2013 by the reigns and making it about doing what's right for them. Lots of organization, no more holding back, just going for it. For me, it's going to be about appreciating the little things. Limiting my wants and taking joy in what I have. I have so much to be thankful for.
Happy New Year, friends. Let's make 2013 amazing!

Altadis' English Toffee is a very mild aromatic tobacco. So mild that I give it a 2 star rating rather than a 3. When getting it lit, it bites. I attribute this to the casing, and that may diminish as it ages a bit. Once lit it settles down to being a very tasty smoke, carrying the taste of its flavoring with almost no tobacco taste at all. For some this may be exactly what they're looking for.
For about ¾ of the bowl it does give a very pleasant, tasty, smoke and a pleasant aroma. But the last of the bowl – which is usually my favorite part of an aromatic smoke – when I'm expecting the flavorings to have faded away, leaving me with a final taste of only tobacco, even then the base tobaccos are so mild as to have virtually no flavor at all.
Again, this may be exactly what some smokers are looking for. And the majority of the bowl is tasty enough that I'm not about to throw out what I have and will smoke it til it's gone. This may be a great tobacco for someone just beginning to smoke a pipe for, once it is lit, it will not bite no matter how hard you puff on it, and you don't have to search for the flavor throughout most of the bowl. It presents no problem in the smoking; no gurgle, no goop left in the bowl, stays lit nicely, doesn't offend anyone who isn't looking to be offended. Really not a demanding tobacco to smoke at all.
If the base tobaccos, burley and Virginia, had more flavor of their own I'd give it a 3, but that's just a personal preference of mine.

Let the New York Court of Appeals worry about it
A res judicata curveball finds its way to the Court of Appeals in this employment discrimination case, where the pro se plaintiff brought suit in federal court after a state court dismissed as untimely her appeal from an adverse State Division of Human Rights finding. The Court of Appeals decides that this is a job for the state Court of Appeals, and the case is now at the doorstep of the state's highest court.
The case is Joseph v. HDMJ Restaurant, decided on August 5. Joseph says her colleagues subjected her to some horrible sexual harassment. She went to the State Division of Human Rights, which rejected her claim following a hearing. She then appealed to State Supreme Court, which rejected her claim because she filed the Article 78 appeal too late. She next filed a lawsuit in federal court.
If you are not well-versed in Title VII law, your instinct will say that the federal claim should be dismissed because Joseph lost her claim in State Supreme Court on statute of limitations grounds. But it's not so easy. In University of Tennessee v. Elliott, 478 U.S. 788 (1986), the Supreme Court said that plaintiffs may proceed in federal court on employment discrimination cases so long as they did not appeal the adverse administrative findings in state court. But Joseph did take up that adverse administrative appeal in State Supreme Court, and lost on timeliness grounds.
Two Second Circuit rulings address this problem. In Bray v. New York Life Insurance, 851 F.2d 60 (2d Cir. 1988), the Court said that res judicata attaches when the federal court Title VII plaintiff previously lost her untimely appeal in state court from an adverse administrative determination. Bray is identical to the Joseph case. But in Cloverleaf Realty v. Town of Wawayanda, 572 F.3d 93 (2d Cir. 2009), a municipal due process case that had nothing to do with employment discrimination, the Court of Appeals said that the plaintiff could bring a federal civil rights action after losing on timeliness grounds an Article 78 in state court. The Cloverleaf court said that Bray was no longer good law because the New York Court of Appeals held in Tanges v. Heidelberg North America, 710 N.E.2d 250 (1999), that "the expiration of the time period enumerated in a statute of limitations would not bar an otherwise available federal remedy."
So which is it? Joseph can win the appeal under Cloverleaf, but she loses under Bray. Cloverleaf is the more recent decision, and it is therefore more useful. But Bray is closer to Joseph in its facts. The mid-level appeals courts in New York have not provided enough guidance on this problem, either. The Second Circuit (Katzmann, Hall and Jones [D.J.]) judges looked at each other and said, "what are we going to do?" Here is what they do. Since res judicata is a creature of state law, the Court of Appeals certifies the case to the New York Court of Appeals, which has authority to resolve state-law puzzles like this. So for now, the case sits in limbo until the state's highest court picks up the pieces.

What to Expect
Service Times
Sunday: 9:15 & 11 AM
New Here
Got questions? Join us immediately after the service for a five minute overview of Mountain. This is a great place for you to meet someone on our team, ask your questions and pick up a gift just for you.
We like to say that Mountain is a "come as you are" environment, and as long as you've got something on, then we're glad to welcome you in the attire that you're comfortable with. On any given Sunday, you'll meet people in football jerseys, leather motorcycle vests, jeans and a T-shirt, and polished shoes and a tie. All are appropriate. Whoever you are, come as you are.
Each week we share in a simple meal together called "Communion." It is open to all who are followers of Jesus. Membership is not a requirement for participation in the communion meal. No one is obligated to take part in this meal, which consists of a piece of bread and a cup of juice, but all who call Jesus their Lord and their Savior are welcome to share in it.
Part of our worship each week includes giving of our offerings. As a guest, please do not feel obligated to give. This time of giving is for those who consider Mountain their church home and want to be a part of what God is doing through this church.
Kid's Programs (age 0–5th grade)
We love kids, in fact, some of us are just big kids ourselves. Kids are the next generation of the church and we want to partner with you and see that they get the best of what we can offer.
We strive to provide an environment that is safe, welcoming and educational — giving them age-specific lessons to keep them engaged and wanting to come back each week. Whether weekend only or throughout the week, we have something for kids of any age.
"I totally get why people drive an hour to go to that church!"
~ A recent first-time guest
Over the years, Mountain Christian Church has met in a number of different venues on its Mountain Road campus, welcoming people from all over the region. In March of 2010, Mountain embarked on a new strategy to reach out to others in our community by launching a Bel Air Campus. Then, in 2013, we launched another campus in Edgewood that meets at The EPICENTER at Edgewood. In September of 2017, we launched our Abingdon Campus. We are still one church, but we meet in multiple locations. This "multi-site" strategy, along with our commitments to church planting, will continue to help our church further the mission of making more and better disciples, reaching out to people all over the community.
The worship experience at all of our campuses is similar, though each campus has its own unique identity and feel. Regardless of location, a warm and welcoming community of people gathers to engage in worship and experience relevant teaching from God's Word. The Bible teaching at Edgewood, Bel Air, and Abingdon is often done via video from the Mountain Road campus as a way to maintain continuity with the broader Mountain community.
Edgewood Directions & Parking

Images of Edgewood Book
Every community, every neighborhood has a story. And it's important to listen to and know the story that has been told in a community—what has shaped its past, and what is influencing its present? Some Edgewood residents have worked hard to tell some of that story. They have compiled pictures and short vignettes and published them in a book as part of the Images of America series. So grab this book, and use it as a tool to pray for Edgewood. Let it help you understand the stories that have been woven together to make Edgewood what it is today. May God use us as part of the story He is writing to make Edgewood what He wants it to be—and to fashion us and our stories into what He wants them to be.
We have a few copies of this book on hand and available for $20. Please send an email if you would like one. Or you can view and purchase it on Amazon.com.

Australia--Victims respond to Cardinal Pell's abuse denial
For immediate release: Monday, February 22
Statement by Barbara Blaine of Chicago, national president member of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (312-399-4747)
The third highest ranking Catholic official on earth is accused of molesting five to ten boys.
From the Daily Mail: "As police consider travelling to Rome to question Cardinal George Pell over the child sex abuse allegations, Australia's top Catholic has been seen strolling along the streets in the early spring sunshine.
From the Herald Sun: The allegations "are being taken seriously enough by police to justify a year-long investigation."
From the Telegraph: "A source close to the investigation told the newspaper: 'They are very serious allegations regarding sexual assault.'"
Pell questions the timing of this news. We're not sympathetic. What matters most is the truth, not the timing.
Pell claims these "leaks" are "clearly designed to do maximum damage to the cardinal and the Catholic Church." This is silly. If Pell doesn't know who made the "leak," he certainly can't know their motives. And he's an individual. The church is an institution. A criminal investigation into a person isn't necessarily "designed to do maximum damage" to that person's employer.
Pell claims the recent disclosure also "undermines the work of the Royal Commission."
Again, that's silly. The more information that surfaces about clergy sex crimes and cover ups, the better.
We might be more sympathetic to Pell's concerns had not Catholic officials so relentlessly and often so viciously attacked the motives and timing of thousands who reported and exposed heinous child sex crimes and cover ups.
We have urged Francis to suspend Pell. Today, we repeat this plea. That's the only responsible course of action here. Remember: He faces at least five accusers. Those accusers have talked with police. Apparently, the police have not deemed all of them crazy or lying.
Some might ask "With his position and this publicity, won't Pell be extremely unlikely to abuse someone now?" Our response: Why take more risks, especially with kids' safety? We've all seen criminals do desperate, destructive and self-destructive things when they feel desperate.
Some might say "Most of the allegations date back some years." Our response: "One allegation is from 2001. And there's no magic age at which abusers are suddenly "cured."
So for the safety of kids, we again urge Francis to suspend Pell. And we urge anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered crimes or cover ups by Pell to call police, especially in Victoria.
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. SNAP was founded in 1988 and has more than 20,000 members. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)

Have You Played... BioShock 2: Minerva's Den?
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game recommendations. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time.
Oh, my feelings about BioShock as a series are so muddled these days. I've been round the houses with hype, backlash, backlash-backlash, controversy, disappointment, hope, nostalgia, all of it. One thing I do know: late-in-the-day BioShock 2 DLC Minerva's Den got it right.
It benefits hugely from being essentially a standalone vignette, rather than trying to in anyway affect the fate of the larger BioShock universe (let alone universes), so there's barely even a compulsion to wonder about loose ends or cosmic deus ex machinas. That isn't to say there isn't a whole lot of craft here, in terms of level design, tone and writing. There's tons of attention to detail, and in its convincing fleshing out of a ghost town world it's not hard to see how its creators went on to make Gone Home.
It hits the key beats of the ideas behind BioShock – manipulation, twisted technology, distorted values, ambition and folly – and it weaves all that into the improved combat system that, for some, makes BioShock 2 the superior of BioShock 1. Given recent, divisive talk of BioShock being a continuing franchise without its original creator at the helm, Minerva's Den's quiet completeness suggests that needn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Facts about Lebanon
Bilateral assistance million kroner
Bilateral assistance million kroner
Bilateral assistance million kroner
The war in Syria has entered its fifth year, and a constant stream of Syrian families are forced to flee from their homes. To date, more than 2.8 million Syrians have crossed the borders to neighbouring countries.
The ripple effects of the war in Syria negatively impact upon security and stability in Lebanon. The Lebanese army is engaged in combat on its border against jihadists from the al-Nusra Front and ISIL.
The pressure on Lebanon's school system, health services, labour market, housing market and basic social services is intense. Deteriorating living conditions as a result of the refugees' presence help fuel increasing tension in local Lebanese communities. The majority of the refugees have settled in the most marginal areas of Lebanon.
Before the crisis Lebanon was classified as a middle-income country, but its growth and income have been significantly reduced as a result of the situation, and unemployment has increased. The UN and the World Bank have united in encouraging donor countries to provide aid to refugees, and for development and stabilization.
Before the crisis, Lebanon was also characterized by significant inequality and differences in living conditions between various social groups. At that time there were approximately 280 000 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, and in the last four years 45 000 Palestinians from Syria have fled to Lebanon.
In 2013 the World Bank and the UN published a comprehensive socioeconomic study of the ripple effects of the Syrian conflict in Lebanon. It showed a three per cent reduction in annual GDP growth, USD seven billion in revenue loss and a reduction in tourism and investments.
Development cooperation with Lebanon
Humanitarian aid
Norway is supporting the humanitarian work for Syrian refugees in Lebanon through the UN as well as through international, Norwegian and local organizations. Support has also been granted to the World Bank multi-donor fund for mitigation of the impact of the humanitarian situation.
The fund will be devoted to development projects or economic stabilization, and will provide assurance to donor countries that the transfer of funding to Lebanese authorities is undertaken in a controlled manner and that the support will be spent for the intended purposes.
Oil for development
Norway has cooperated with Lebanese authorities on an Oil for Development (OfD) programme since 2006, the purpose of which is to ensure sustainable management of petroleum resources for the benefit of current and future generations. The cooperation includes provision of technical expertise based on lessons learned in Norway, especially with regard to management and transparency. A total of NOK 4.8 million was disbursed in 2014.
The OfD programme in Lebanon has already helped develop the strategic and legal frameworks for the petroleum sector and enhanced competence in the field of petroleum management. Agreement on the programme's objectives means that key concerns such as cooperation between relevant institutions and environmental issues are better safeguarded. Mapping of needs and wishes from the Lebanese side further facilitates efforts to establish a sustainable petroleum sector.
Enhanced competence
Enhanced competence in civil society and the media on petroleum-related issues is a further result of the OfD programme. The Norwegian Embassy in Beirut has conducted a mapping of civil actors who can play a role in strengthening civil society and the media. The Samir Kassir Foundation and Middle East Strategic Perspectives received support to raise greater awareness in the population and greater competence in this area in Lebanese media. The Lebanese Center for Policy Studies and the Revenue Watch Institute were granted support to strengthen the civil society aspect. Some results for 2014 are as follows:
Samir Kassir Foundation:
- Twelve Lebanese media have enhanced their competence with regard to reporting and following up petroleum-related matters
- Five Lebanese organizations have started a joint coordination initiative vis à vis the energy sector
- A social media tool will be available for the majority of people, and will increase awareness and knowledge among the section of the population that takes an interest in the sector.
Lebanese Center for Policy Studies:
- 13 civil society organizations have acquired greater capacity and knowledge of petroleum-related issues to enable them to put forward their cases more effectively to actors in the sector.
- Increased and enhanced coordination between 13 civil society organizations working with petroleum-related issues.
- Increased knowledge of Lebanese attitudes towards and knowledge of governance
Other areas
Norway provides annual support to projects for peace and reconciliation, human rights and strengthening of the cultural sector, as well as women and gender equality in Lebanon. The Norwegian support is in itself an important contribution to building Lebanese civil society, since the bulk of funding is devoted to local or national organizations.
In the cooperation with its partners, the Norwegian Embassy in Beirut has a strong focus on women and gender equality. The gender lens is maintained at each stage of all projects that receive Norwegian support.
Peace and reconciliation
Norway supports a number of interventions for peace and reconciliation in the Middle East. Some examples of the interventions in Lebanon are as follows:
Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee (LPDC): This support has helped improve the dialogue between Lebanese authorities and the Palestinian community. In addition, the LPDC has increased the capacity for development of more unified policies for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, with a view to improving their living conditions. The work on a new census of Palestinians in Lebanon has advanced.
Geneva Call: Through Geneva Call, Norway has given support since 2011 to a project aiming to protect civilians in Palestinian refugee camps against violence from armed groups. The project has helped raise awareness of the need for protection of especially vulnerable groups in the camps and provided training in humanitarian law for non-governmental armed groups. This work has resulted in increased stability and protection of civilians in the Ain el-Helowih camp through closer cooperation and dialogue between the different groups in the camp. In 2014, for the first time the Norwegian Embassy supported a local organization established as a result of the project and will continue the work of Geneva Call, made possible by local ownership and the competence acquired.
Safadi Foundation: The objective of this project is to improve knowledge and raise awareness of local government and the rights and opportunities of citizens to influence the municipality of el‑Mina, a conflict-ridden area in Tripoli in Northern Lebanon. Project results to date include enhanced competence among actors in the district with regard to social development planning, and greater participation by the inhabitants in the development of their own district.

Non-governmental organizations
In 2014, Norad supported development projects by civil society organizations in Lebanon to the tune of almost NOK eleven million. The funds were channelled through Save the Children Norway, Right to Play, the Red Cross and the Norwegian Labour Party youth organization (AUF).
Save the Children provides education for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. In the 2012‒2013 school year, the proportion of children who leave before completing their schooling fell from 40 per cent to four per cent. Right to Play reported in 2013 that 96 per cent of children who had participated in the project had acquired a basic knowledge of health and hygiene.

Energitismo Depertim
In the first century A.D. the Emperor Claudius ordered the design of a new port centre for Rome and the realization of this huge project took about twenty years of hard work. The large mooring harbour was extensive but shallow and soon began to silt up. To rectify this the Emperor Claudius around the year 100 created a new artificial dock dug deeper into the coast. This had a hexagonal shape, with sides of 335 meters and the lake that was formed is still visible from all of the air passengers. The area of the two ports has become part of an archaeological park and the surrounding area is a private naturalist oasis that can be visited (Oasi di Porto).

Before the chips are dehydrated, they need to be tossed with a light mix of olive oil and balsamic vinegar before placing into a dehydrator. Once placed inside, they are lightly sprinkled with sea salt.
While the preparation time for making these salt and vinegar zucchini chips is under 20 minutes, the cooking process takes a little longer, as the thinly sliced zucchini needs to be dehydrated for approximately 12 hours.

Ian Stephens has arranged his Tunnel Vision Suite for Brass Band from Super Slow Way for The Brighouse and Rastrick Band who will premiere it Sunday 28 January at the Royal Norther College of Music, Manchester under the baton of David Thornton in a rather interesting programme featuring lots of new music.
Regarded by many as the best and most consistent 'public subscription band' in the world, the Brighouse and Rasterick Band was formed over 130 years ago through public donations given by the townsfolk of the adjacent villages of Brighouse and Rastrick that face each other across the River Calder in West Yorkshire). The concert will also feature the Elland Silver Youth Band.

Background: Documentation is an important function of professional nursing practise. In spite of numerous improvement efforts globally, inadequate documentation continues to be reported as nurse authors investigate barriers and challenges.
Objectives: The project aimed to improve nurses' documentation of their patient assessments at the CURE Children's Hospital of Uganda in order to enhance the quality of nursing practise.
Method: An action research methodology, using repeated cycles of planning, intervention, reflection and modification, was used to establish best practise approaches in this context for improving nurses' efficacy in documenting assessments in the patient record. The researchers gathered data from chart audits, literature reviews and key informant interviews. Through analysis and critical reflection, these data informed three cycles of systems and practise modifications to improve the quality of documentation.
Results: The initial cycle revealed that staff training alone was insufficient to achievethe project goal. To achieve improved documentation, broader changes were necessary, including building a critical mass of competent staff, redesigned orientation and continuing education, documentation form redesign, changes in nurse skill mix, and continuous leadership support.
Conclusion: Improving nursing documentation involved complex challenges in this setting and demanded multiple approaches. Evidence-based practise was the foundation of changes in systems required to produce visible improvement in practise. The involved role of leadership in these efforts was very important.

Husqvarna Monster Energy Speedbrain rider Andreas "Letti" Lettenbichler scored a hard-fought, but well deserved third place finish at the seventh edition of the Tough One extreme enduro race in the north of England on March 13. Steve Ireland, the Tough One mastermind, had moved his three-hour race to a new venue for 2011 — the demanding Back Cown Quarry north of Manchester — which had a lap length of about four miles (roughly 6.3km) with several fast stages and a few technically demanding sections, including a small MX track.
With this in mind, Letti decided to change the transmission settings on his Husqvarna WR300 to achieve slightly higher speeds. It appeared to be the right decision since in the initial stages he was able to keep up with the British extreme enduro rider and Hell's Gate winner Graham Jarvis, who was remarkably quick and passed Letti to take the lead in the first lap.
Competing against a field of mainly British riders, Letti unfortunately hit a rock while passing an 'expert class' rider on the second lap, which damaged his foot brake lever. Changing the broken part would have cost him too much time so it was down to Letti's exceptional technical skills to continue this demanding race without the use of a rear brake — a serious challenge considering the high number of steep downhill sections.
Once again proving his "never-give-up" attitude, Letti took a lot of risks to keep as close as possible to eventual winner Jarvis, who was clearly dominant in front of his home fans. In fact, Letti was looking good for second place, but his good friend, British rider Paul Bolton, managed to catch and pass him on the last of the 12 laps. However, Bolton's speed didn't come as a surprise since he lives close to the Tough One venue and it's his regular training ground so he knows it like the back of his hand.
Without his rear footbrake, Lettenbichler had a little crash while pushing as hard as possible to keep hold of his second place, so under the circumstances, he was forced to settle for third.
"While I am very happy having secured a podium finish at the Tough One I am also a bit disappointed since I had this early technical problem," said the 2009 Red Bull Romaniacs winner. "But this is off-road racing and these things can happen, so you have to make the best of it. I had a very good start and felt comfortable on the Husqvarna on this pretty fast track. Passing an expert class rider in the second lap I suddenly had to change my line to avoid a collision, hit a rock and recognized I had completely lost my rear brake. The track was constantly undulating, so without any rear brake it was hard going – and pretty much impossible to go at the same speed as Jarvis.
"There were some scary moments in some of the downhill sections because I had to stall the engine to achieve some sort of braking effect! Paul was getting closer and it was a real challenge to push even harder in the last laps. While rushing into a corner, the front wheel locked and I had a little crash so Paul was then able to pass me. Considering the loss of the rear brake and having to make two (instead of one) pit stops I am happy with the result. Now the team and I will concentrate on the preparations for the Erzbergrodeo. We will optimize the Husqvarna for the biggest and most prestigious event in our calendar and I will train very hard to finally make it to the top of the podium at this famous Hare Scramble!"

I don't know why it is, but every office has someone, usually a woman but sometimes a man, who's just plain nasty. It's usually because he or she feels threatened and the only way this person knows how to deal with their emotions is by being a pain to everyone around them. Often, the individual has been working in the business for many years and for some reason the managers let him or her get away with this behaviour.
A number of years ago I worked in an office where one of the female staff took delight in making me feel as unwelcome as possible. My arrival at the business had intimidated her and she would exclude me from office events and belittle me in front of other staff and managers.
I was shocked and hurt by her behaviour. I considered confronting her about what amounted to bullying. But then I worked out there was a much smarter way to go about dealing with her. As they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. So here are my top tips for dealing with the office cow.
1. Don't fight fire with fire
Responding to verbal barbs validates them, so if someone is sniping at you, never engage in crossfire or demean yourself by throwing word grenades in their direction. If you do that, you're just lowering yourself to their standards.
2. Kill her with kindness
Always maintain a friendly demeanour instead of adopting a defensive stance when someone is beastly to you. Not fake friendly, real friendly. If you're always courteous to someone in the face of rudeness, it can be hard for the other party to continue their attacks. In my experience, if you're consistently nice to someone, you can turn them into an ally after a while.
3. Raise it with management
If the nice assault doesn't work, it might be an idea to directly address the issue. It's best to do this with the support of your manager or HR. That way you have a witness to everything that happens. First, talk to your manager about what's been happening, listing specific incidences in which the other party has behaved unreasonably. You can't go to your manager with a general complaint. You have to be able to cite real examples.
Then, book a meeting with all involved. This should be a chance for you to tell the other party how you feel, again citing real examples. She should also be given a chance to air her feelings. This process usually takes the agro out of the situation, forces your opponent to consider the effect her behaviour has had on you and prevents her from acting this way again.
4. Don't take it to heart
When someone is being awful to you and you have done nothing to warrant it, it can play havoc with your self-esteem. You start to wonder if you've done something to deserve their ire. But it's pointless doing that unless you have wronged this person in some way. Hold your head high, maintain your strength of character and carry on as normal.
5. Look at your own behaviour
We've all got insecurities, and at some stage most of us have probably been a bitch – at the office, school, with friends or at home. Have a look at why you behaved like that. I remember freezing out a colleague when I was in my early years at work. Back then I didn't understand that doing that is bullying, although I do now. The reason I did it was because I was projecting blame for something I actually did wrong onto her.
My actions gave me insights into the behaviour of bitches I have encountered through my career. They're probably ashamed of themselves for some reason and are taking it out on you. You don't have to put up with this behaviour, but at least you know where it's coming from.
So next time someone's a cow to you, don't retaliate and don't internalise it. Take steps to turn the situation around.
How have you dealt with the bitch in your office?

IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) was among first vendor-neutral CAD formats designed to enable interoperability between different CAD systems. The latest versions of IGES have been approved by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and published by US PRO (U.S. Product Data Association). The latest officially approved version of the IGES standard is version 5.3 which was published in 1996. Nonetheless, IGES remains a broadly used format (along with STEP) supported by all major CAD/CAM/CAE systems such as CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, Solid Edge, NX, Pro/Engineer, Creo and multiple others. IGES files usually have *.igs or *.iges file name extensions.Read more

It's supported in the major software packages like Revit and AutoCAD by Autodesk, Tekla Structures by Tekla or SmartPlant3D by Intergraph. The main value of the IFC is accordance to the Building Information Modeling requirements. BIM is a concept of design, construction and exploitation of the buildings prescribing creation of the large volume of the digital data around architectural objects. This data may include not only 3D geometry, but tons of information pieces like authors, milestones and deadlines, supplier information and so on. Prior to beginning of the construction, the data base is created. It will include all the information, related to the building. Once the process kicks off the project team members will populate the data base with all the aspects of the future building.Read more

At Hudson County Community College, the state's Basic Skills Workforce Training Program is opening doors.
The program is free to employers and their employees, polishing employees' skills in basic computer operations, mathematics and measurement, English as a second language, and written and verbal communications.
Ana Chapman-McCausland, executive director of the college's Center for Business & Industry, said the program has also been a boon to her Center. Businesses or nonprofits that start with basic skills training often ask for other kinds of training, such as business management, project
management and team building.
"It opens the door for us to offer different levels of training," Chapman explained. "The companies in Hudson County are slowly beginning to realize, 'Hey, there's something here for me.'"
Before arriving at the Center two years ago, she managed a training program for the City University of New York, School of Professional Studies and worked, with her staff of 22, on site at New York City's Human Resources Administration, Office of Child Support Enforcement. The Center for Business and Industry was established in in 2000 to offer the college's training services to the employer community.
One of Chapman's first initiatives was to market the Basic Skills training program, which already had a track record of success at other community colleges. (Basic Skills training is offered by all 19 of the state's community colleges.)
"It broadens the view of the community about what the college offers," she said. "The community can see that the college is not just about credit-bearing programs."
Over the past 18 months, the college Center has trained 645 employees with 38 companies in basic skills. Most of the companies are small and unable to afford on-site training. The most popular classes are in computers (Windows OS as well as Word and Excel) and English as a second language. An ongoing customer is Jersey City Medical Center.
Sivaraman Anbarasan, executive director of the NJ Community College Consortium for Workforce and Economic Development, which coordinates the Basic Skills program for the colleges, said Hudson County Community College has done an excellent job leveraging the program.
"When companies come away pleased with the training their employees received in basic skills, they will return to the same community college for other kinds of training,"
Anbarasan said. "The colleges have found that this to be a great tool for expanding their community outreach."
Hudson President Glen Gabert is an enthusiastic supporter of the Basic Skills program. "Community colleges are the first choice for businesses looking to
develop the workforce they need to compete," he said. "This program has opened the door for small businesses and microenterprises to obtain top-notch, skills-based training for their employees—free of charge."
The NJ Community College Consortium initiated the Basic Skills Workforce Training Program seven years ago in partnership with the NJ Department of Labor, which provides the funding, and the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, which provides business outreach. To date, the program has trained more than 62,000
employees with more than 4,200 companies.

the thing is though is that obama is right. this youtube commenter correctly sums it up:
This is not a Christian nation. There are a few Christians here in the USA but otherwise this is a nation of immorality, perversion, and evil. An ANTI-Christian nation. Nothing more than a modern day Sodom or Gomorrah and God is displeased.

It looks like Warner Bros./New Line Cinema already new they had a winner on their hands with Shazam! before the movie's release. Yesterday the movie made a strong debut at the box office by making over $53M in its opening weekend. Now, it seems Warner Bros. are pushing already planning ahead for the sequel. The Wrap reported earlier today that writer of the movie Henry Gayden, will be returning to pen the script for the sequel. This is great news for me because I personally thought the script was the strongest aspect of the movie. And why change something that isn't broken? Hopefully, this also means director David F. Sandberg will also be returning for the sequel. Warner Bros. seem to be on a role now. Earlier in the year they gave us a release date for an Aquaman sequel and now the wheels are being put in motion for the Shazam! sequel. It's nice to see the universe growing without the likes of Superman and Batman at the forefront. Each character is big enough to hold their own.
Let me know your thoughts on this news down below.

Beer is one of the most understated ingredients in any dish; sadly, this alcoholic beverage usually plays second fiddle to the more popular alcoholic ingredients like wine or vodka. Impress your guests with a few recipes that take your brew out of the backseat.
1. Beer Can Chicken
This recipe is so simple yet so impressive. Since this method can be used with any combination of ingredients, it's super versatile and can be adapted to nearly any kind of cuisine. All you need is one full chicken with the giblets removed.
For a smoky chicken, mix one tablespoon chipotle pepper seasoning, one teaspoon garlic powder, one teaspoon onion powder and one teaspoon paprika. For a Mexican season, mix one teaspoon chili powder, one teaspoon onion powder, one teaspoon garlic powder and one teaspoon oregano.
Rub the chicken with your desired rub. Crank up a grill to 425 degrees. Dump out one-half of a can of pilsner (or rather drink it!), and place the rest of the can on the counter. Place the chicken on the can so the cavity encases the can and the can acts as a stand for the chicken. Place the whole thing on the grill and let cook for about an hour.
2. Porter Float
Serve this creamy concoction for a dessert you'll want to save room for! Simple scoop ½ cup of rich vanilla bean ice cream into a large pint glass. Pour an entire bottle of porter or other dark brew like Guinness over the ice cream. Add a drizzle of caramel syrup on top. Serve with a long ice cream sundae spoon and a straw for a dessert that will blow your friends' minds.
3. Citrus Spritzer
Keep everyone hydrated with this lovely light cocktail that goes perfect with any of these recipes. Simply mix one can of hefeweizen with the juice from one orange juice and one lemon. Using a mortar and pedestal, crush a few leaves of sage so the oils are released. Pour the mixture over a few cubes of ice. Garnish with the sage leaves. Serve with a straw so guests can enjoy the drink without getting a mouthful of sage leaves.
4. Beer Shrimp
This light dish is best served in the summertime or in hot weather when everyone needs a refreshing appetizer or light dinner. Traditionally, a crisp white wine is used in shrimp boils and sautés, but you can exchange the wine for brew for a totally different take on shrimp. Simply melt ¼ stick of butter in a large saucepan or skillet. Place a pound of shrimp in the butter. Squeeze the juice of two whole limes over the shrimp. Add salt and pepper. Pour a light brew over the shrimp, and place a lid on the skillet. Allow the shrimp to cook for about eight-to-ten minutes (until the shrimp turn pink). Serve with cilantro and chipotle dipping sauce.
These recipes are designed to be paired together or served on their own. Try your own variations for a unique tasting experience. Buy good beer at Redmart.

I have my workouts that I like to hit "solo" depending on my mood or the workout (all depends on how much thinking I've got to do). However, there is nothing like having the support of training buddies. I was very, very fortunate to have a core group of wonderful folks to train with when I was racing as a professional triathlete. I still can't thank them enough for "showing up."
With that being said, you can either benefit or sink yourself depending on the folks you choose to surround yourself with on easy, moderate or hard days. I say the choice is yours because ultimately, you are and should be in control of your workout. So, here are my top tips:
With that being said, you can either benefit or sink yourself depending on the folks you choose to surround yourself with on easy, moderate or hard days. I say the choice is yours because ultimately, you are and should be in control of your workout. So, here are my top tips:
- Training partners need to have a mutual respect for each others training goals. Talk about and agree upon the effort and objective before you head into the workout.
- Try to hook up with folks who understand that an easy day means EASY! There are those individuals out there who always start pushing the envelope. You know the type .... the one who picks up the pace during the last mile or two of a run. The one who always picks up the effort when going up a hill on the bike .... or the run for that matter! There is one guy who occasionally swims at the same time as I do at the YMCA who ALWAYS wants to share a lane with me or swim in the lane next to me. No prob ... he's a nice guy but is always "racing me." I could be doing kicking drills on my side, and he's splashing away (yes, he's a splasher) right next to me! He's not my training partner, but he seems to want think that we are training together. I just shut off the fact that he's next to me. It's a good skill to have. Also, never be afraid to speak up during a workout if someone starts pushing during an easy training session. I do it all of the time! It's all about "keeping folks honest!"
- During easy days, try to find training partners who are at the same level or even a bit slower than you so that you stay true to the goal of going easy.
- During hard interval sessions or time trial efforts, try to find training partners who are slightly stronger or at the same level as you so that you stay true to the goal of challenging yourself. A nice way to organize recovery efforts during intervals, is to circle back and pick up those who might be slightly behind. In swimming, determine a send off time that is fair for everyone (assuming everyone is close to the same level).
- Know what you are getting into when joining group training sessions! We have a local cycling club that has occasional evening and weekend group rides. I know my heart rate will be well above threshold for several sections of the ride. I also know that I can choose to go on a more "mellow" ride if I choose. Why? I have researched the group and understand the intensity levels of the rides. If you are unsure, bring a buddy that you know you can hang with if things get dicey. Better yet, create your own group ride with those who are at your level of fitness. There are certainly times when you need to GO FOR IT and step outside your comfort box ... and that may mean showing up with the big dogs for a time trial or hard group ride. Just make calculated decisions as to when you are going to do it.
- BIG EGOS mean BIG TROUBLE. Try to choose training partners that are not afraid to encourage. It's always nice to finish a workout with someone and say "GREAT JOB" to each other. Or, "Man, I was tired, but you pulled me through today, thanks!"
- Try to choose training partners that have a sense of humor. Makes things fun. Can you imagine being serious ALL OF THE TIME when you train with people? Nothing like a good stride stopp'in belly laugh on a run!
- Be clear on your own training objectives and don't get swayed into training with "hammer heads" on a continual basis. There's a time for that as I noted in No. 4.

text: yahoo2 215 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Thought I would start a new topic to explore the idea of building soil. I was listening to the radio on Saturday and heard Chris Perry on talkback gardening explaining how important it is to get fruit and nut trees off to a good start and what could be expected in the first three years (if you get it right) The thing I noticed is that he didn't talk about the "near death phase" that I see when I plant anything. It got me thinking that the conventional idea of planting garden trees (find a clear space, dig a hole, adding fertilizer then mixing compost with the earth, plant the tree, water it in and add mulch over the top) just won't cut the mustard in soils that spend a good portion of the year dry and without plants growing. The soil seems to go into a death spiral, ends up nonwetting or the water just runs straight through and takes all the nutrients with it and is bone dry 4 hours after a good soaking. What I thought I would do is this. I am going to pick out some areas for tree planting in the next three years(2014-16), install the watering systems now and see if I can build four inches of good quality living topsoil by simply gardening on it before the trees go in (and perhaps afterwards as well). I'm open to opinions, theories, techniques and criticism. Although I would prefer examples of evidence based innovation and trial and error rather than vague anecdote's of failure and sweeping statements of impending doom. I'm getting plenty of that in person. I have trialed a couple of things in the last few months, saved some plants I thought were going to die and had some encouraging results but nothing that looks remotely like a layer of new topsoil yet. 1 ande reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
