2018-19 FAFSA® Available
The 2018-19 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is now available online, and should be completed and submitted as soon as possible by the families of students who will be attending college between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019. Specific details, including links to resources such as the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet and a PDF version of the FAFSA, are provided via the Financial Aid: Completing the FAFSA page (which is located within the Students & Parents – Before College – Financial Aid Planning area). FAFSA results are used to determine eligibility for the Monetary Award Program (MAP),* as well as several other forms of federal, state and institutional financial assistance.
When completing the FAFSA on the Web, which is the application method that provides the quickest results, remember that the student (and parent, if the student is dependent) must first obtain an FSA ID from the U.S. Department of Education (ED). If you and/or your student obtained an FSA ID from ED to apply for financial aid in a prior academic year, the same FSA ID(s) will be used now to complete the 2018-19 FAFSA.
Check out the Financial Aid Planning area for information regarding resources that are available to help your student complete the financial aid process. Among those resources is the ISACorps, ISAC's group of recent college graduates who are trained to serve as near peer mentors to high school students. In addition, several events – including FAFSA completion workshops – will take place across the State of Illinois over the next several weeks. Plan to attend the event that best fits your family's schedule.
English- and Spanish-Speaking Counselors Available to Assist You
If you or your student have questions regarding the financial aid application process, you may speak with an ISAC Call Center Representative by calling 800.899.ISAC (4722). English- and Spanish-speaking counselors are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (CT).
An ISACorps member in your area can also assist you with the financial aid process.
October is College Changes Everything Month 2017
During the month of October, many high schools throughout Illinois are hosting college application and FAFSA completion workshops for their students. If your college-bound student attends a participating school, encourage him or her to take advantage of these opportunities to receive assistance.
* ISAC Student Portal Provides MAP Resources
As students progress through the financial aid application process, they are encouraged to visit the ISAC Student Portal to access these helpful resources related to MAP grants:
- MAP Estimator – students who plan to attend an Illinois college may use this tool (which has been updated for the 2017-18 academic year and is located in the Toolbox area) to get an idea of their eligibility for the MAP grant, and
- MAP Paid Credit Hours Display – MAP grant recipients may use this option (which is located in the ISAC Programs area) to track the number of MAP Paid Credit Hours they have used to date.
By June 30: High School Juniors Take College Assessment Exams (Results Used to Determine State Scholars for 2019-20 Academic Year)
Parents of Illinois high school juniors are reminded that eligibility for the State Scholar Program is based, in part, on a student's highest qualifying ACT or SAT score. For current high school juniors, only exams taken between August 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 qualify for consideration in the State Scholar announcements that will be made during their senior year (i.e., fall of 2018). Further details are provided at the State Scholar Program page of our website.

Your shopping cart is empty!
I am calling this the autumn blog as when last on the river I caught quite a few leaves, always a clue as to the change of seasons. During the summer months the water level on the rivers in the north-west has been up and down with not too much of the more productive steady times. Just about all my fishing has been with dry flies. Looking through my box it is noticeable that the most successful flies had quill bodies either natural or dyed. I think that the Polish Stripped and Dyed Eye Quills have been the most important new product introduced this decade. There are a number of cheaper quill substitutes on the market but none come near to the real thing! The nymphs that are being tied for colder days will, in many cases, also feature quill bodies.
With the increased time now that Dave is doing the work running the website and business I have been doing a bit more casting teaching. It is surprising the number of anglers who are using unbalanced outfits and are therefore handicapping themselves. A balanced rod, real and line make a long day's fishing the pleasure it should be.
Lowther Show went well, many thanks to the friends who came and passed some time with us. The next show is the Midland, which will be followed by the Grayling Society Symposium/AGM weekend, and then the BFFI in February. Steve Cooper has kept this show going annually since 2003 and it has been, since the very first one, the premier show of the year. If you can make it you should.

A beautiful post which revisits the old adage of the writer and the blank page as canvas, as well as the hidden, subconscious symbolism and imagery that authors use as they write and readers draw on as they read. I highly encourage anyone who enjoys thoughtful commentary, poetry and contemporary fiction to follow Deborah Brasket's blog. She is a true gem!
It's been said that for the writer the blank page is our canvas and words our paint.
But I don't think so.
Images and ideas are the paint, words the loaded brush, and sentences our brushstrokes. The mind and imagination of both writer and reader is the blank canvas.
Nothing is there, literally, on the page—mere white space, black ink strokes. Yet in the act of reading the mind becomes awash in colors, images, ideas, emotions. Like magic. What the reader draws upon is not only the writer's words and images, but the reader's as well, his memories and associations. Our reader co-creates with us.
What both the writer and reader draw upon, as do all visual artists, are all the images and associations from our own lives as well as all those who came before us and left their imprints upon our imaginations, through books and artwork and film…

My first gastronomic bucket list item. White truffles are one of the most expensive ingredients ($2,000/pound) on the planet. And I want to say I've had it. I'm not sure I'll like it, but I must try it someday. I've never even had black truffles, but I want the expensive white ones.
Why are the white ones so expensive? Because they are only available two months out of the year. They are from a special part of Italy and must be sniffed out by specially trained pigs (yes pigs).

I joined CrossFit EXP (crossfitexp.com) (one of the best decisions of my life BTW) almost 2 years ago and have met some great people. One person has stood out for me, her name is Brenda Mullaney, and she's my definition of a Supermom! She's physically and mentally strong; she's got a great positive and supportive personality, not to mention a perfect sense of humor. Little did I know, until about two months ago, what she was going through. Of her four children (twins Joey and Sean are 20, Kaela is 25, and Ryan is 26), Joey and Kaela (also amazingly awesome and strong if I do say so myself!) are affected with a rare, degenerative neuro-muscular disorder known as Friedreich's Ataxia (FA). My already-positive opinion of Brenda sky-rocketed as I learned this.

Kristin Chenoweth's Early Draw to Music
The Broadway performer grew up in Oklahoma singing church music and listening to Count Basie
Actress-singer Kristin Chenoweth, 46, recently released "Kristin Chenoweth: Coming Home" (Concord), a CD of a live PBS performance that airs Nov. 28. She will return to Broadway next year in "On the Twentieth Century." She spoke with Marc Myers.
I'm originally from Oklahoma but I didn't grow up on a farm. I have family members who live on farms, but I spent my childhood in a typical ranch-style house in a Tulsa suburb. I didn't milk cows or feed hens, but I had a pretty strong work ethic. I also had my share of issues to...

I hope you all have a terrific Sunday.
I hope you all have a terrific Sunday.
Hey 3.5 readers.
Your old pal BQB here.
So, it was a semi-exciting day today.
Last night, I began a free promo for BQB's Badass Writing Prompts. That's right, you can get your very own free copy by clicking here. That'll last till Monday, June 12, when it will go back up to $2.99, so…uh…how do marketers do this? Act fast! Get your free copy today! My prices are insane! I'm Crazy BQB and all my books are priced so low they ought to lock me up in the funny farm!
But I digress. Like a proud papa with a new baby, I checked on the status of my book all day today and was delighted to see that the free promo was helping it move up the charts:
#33 in Kindle Store – Kindle E books – Reference – Writing, Research and Publishing Guides – Writing Skills? Huh, sounds awesome. (Note that apparently means it is in the top 100 of the free part of this section. At least that's what I think it means. I am still new to all of this.)
#9,637 in Free Kindle Store? Huh, well, there's still 9,636 peeps ahead of me but ok, that sounds pretty awesome too.
So, being a total novice at this I thought, "Hmm…I mean, I'm not in this game to give stuff away for free and make no money but these rankings sound so awesome that I must have given away like thousands of copies. Think of it as a down payment. Give out lots of free books today and readers will turn into fans who will pay for your stuff tomorrow."
But then I checked out my figures. 15 free copies. 15. And seriously, I love all 15 of you but I really thought I'd of given away like thousands of copies.
At any rate, I'm not sure how these rankings are figured but my book has been moving up in the ranks all day so however it is done, I'm just going to say thank you to Amazon and Lord Bezos, Supreme Commander of the Internet and All Digital Media He Surveys Until He Conquers the Globe…OR HAS HE ALREADY AND LEFT US NONE THE WISER? MUAH HA HA!
But seriously. I know. 15 copies is nothing to sneeze at. It's still early. And the one thing I have always noticed about online media is it is one of few activities I have participated in where the results get better every year.
Long story short, I hope you'll take advantage of this free promo. I'm not asking you 3.5 readers to do much. Just download a free copy. If you like it, give it a fab review. If you have any thoughts you'd like to share, let me know.
AND – do keep in mind it is a book filled with writing prompts, so if you're a blogger and you're looking for ideas to blog about, here's your chance to get some inspiration.
Thank you, 3.5 readers.
3.5 readers, please place your comments here vis a vis your theories as to why I don't have more than 3.5 readers. Thank you.
Can you believe it has been five whole weeks of Toilet Gator Sundays, 3.5 readers? Now that's commitment!
Just a quick thank you to my 3.5 readers for being my readers. Of all the blogs out there with 3.5 readers, my 3.5 readers are the best.
I'm worried people don't read anymore.
I wish I had some stats on how often people read.
But I feel like with all the streaming media and tons and tons of TV shows that no one can keep up with, reading is going out of style.
Naturally, as an aspiring author this worries me.
What say you, 3.5 readers? Do people read anymore?
The Bookshelf Battle Blog is sheer perfection, I know. Sheer delight for the eyes of my 3.5 readers.
But I'm looking for advice on making this fine blog even better.
So you write this list in the comments, 3.5 readers. You can be funny if you want but you don't have to be. This blog rarely is so why start now?
You are appreciated. Go forth. Celebrate and eat chocolate bunnies.
Views By Country in 2016 As of Right Now:
#1 – United States – 4,511 -'Murica! (Most views are from Aunt Gertie)
#2 – United Kingdom – 253 – Not a bad turn out but you Brits could do more. Drop the scones. Hide the crumpets. Log on to this fine blog, guvnah.
#3 – Canada – 203 – Come on Canucks. Stare at hockey and moose butts less and my blog more.
#4 – Australia – 151 – I appreciate you Aussies taking the time to check this site out…especially because…ahh! There's a dingo eating your baby! (Made you look.)
U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia – I suppose like any English speaking author these are my top four.
But let's not leave out:
#5 – India – 60 – I need to break out into spontaneous song and dance numbers to get their attention.
#6 – France – 59 – Sacre bleu! Ooo la la! That's all I know.
#7 – Germany – 50 – This blog needs more disco and leather pants.
#8 – Brazil – 42 – I'm not sure if it is a tribe along the banks of the Amazon or somewhere in the favelas of Rio, but somewhere down there, a tiny pocket of Brazilians are all about BQB. DANZA KUDORO! OH OH OH OH! I don't know. I just like that song because it was it was in Fast Five. I saw that movie by the way and I believe it qualifies me as an expert on Brazil.
#9 – The Philippines – 39 – Is that lady that bought a zillion shoes still in charge there?
#10 – Spain – 29 – Hola amigos. Yo so Bookshelf Que Battler. Leer mi blogador mas por favor. Gracias.
By the way, I have admonished the New Zealanders before and I need to do so again. You guys are #11 with 26 views this year. You speak English yet you're being beaten by the Indians, French, Germans, Brazilians, Philippinos, and the Spanish.
They aren't shooting the Hobbit movies there any more. What could possibly be going on in New Zealand that is so interesting that it is keeping you from becoming one of my 3.5 readers?
And now from BQB HQ in East Randomtown…the Top Ten Signs You Are One of BQB's 3.5 Readers
10. You continue to keep the faith that one day BQB will actually review a book.
9. You even keep the faith that one day BQB will finish writing a book he has started.
8. You wish you could have Scandal nights with Alien Jones and the Yeti.
7. Uncle Hardass is starting to sound more and more reasonable.
6. You check BQB's movie reviews before you decide to see a movie.
5. You've done the math to determine whether or not it is statistically possible to have .5th of a reader.
4. You look at toaster pastries and toilets differently…especially on stormy nights.
3. It concerns you that BQB doesn't write more in order to appease the Mighty Potentate.
2. A two-player game of Car Thief Mayhem with Video Game Rack Fighter sounds like a fun evening as long as you don't try to beat her high score
And the number 1 reason why you might be one of BQB's 3.5 readers…

McEwan and Me
Yesterday I finished reading Ian McEwan's magnificent 2001 novel Atonement.
I'm still shell-shocked; every few minutes when I'm not otherwise occupied, my mind drifts back to this novel and I lose all sense of myself. It moved and troubled me, and I cannot find my way out of the conundrum it presents.
I have a lot to say about it, but I'm particularly astonished by the similarities to my own 2006 story, Counting to Five Thousand
I swear I'd never even heard of this novel until last year, but I'm sure that any reader of Ct5K who'd already read Atonement would come to the conclusion that I was deliberately echoing McEwan. You could summarize the plots of both stories this way:
- Young girl makes a prideful, narcissistic decision,
- which has catastrophic consequences for the people she loves, although she intended no harm.
- She spends the rest of her life wracked with guilt, searching for atonement for this sin.
- Her final atonement/redemption is able to come, if at all, only after her own death.
- The narrative is told from three points of view and covers three far-separated moments in time, including the time of the crime itself and another moment many decades later when the girl is an old woman.
Now, summarizing Atonement that way is like saying Beethoven's Ninth Symphony has a catchy tune in the second movement. It's a terrible oversimplification of Ct5K too, but the two truncations aren't even in the same quantum orbit. But still -- I even used the word "atonement" to describe what Ginny was seeking in the middle chapter of the story.
Of course there are notable differences (apart from the obvious one that my story is less than 10% the length of his, and his isn't fan fiction).
For one thing, McEwan makes his story deliberately more ambiguous than mine. Briony Tallis commits her "crime" at thirteen in Atonement, sheltered and naïve, whereas Ginny is sixteen at the crucial moment in Ct5K. Consequently one can say, honestly, that Briony wasn't fully able to comprehend the magnitude of what she was doing when she did it. Nonetheless she did know, at some level, that it was wrong, and she refused to cure the harm while it was still within her power to do so.
Ginny's greater age means that she bears more responsibility for her decision at the time. Consequently her attempts at atonement are more extravagant than Briony's. Briony, whose sin was the telling of a damaging lie, finds lifelong quest in a search for truth. Her first novella, which she writes and rewrites over the decades until it becomes her last novel, is her fearless confession of exactly what happened. Ginny, by contrast, devotes her life to the poor and destitute. But of course, the consequences of their crimes are different. Briony ruined only two lives (not counting her own) while Ginny caused (or perhaps allowed) the deaths of more than 5,000.
Another important contrast is the level of intention (or lack thereof) each of these characters employs. The most fascinating thing about Briony's atonement is that her final novel itself contains a lie -- a huge lie, the lie that Robbie and Cecilia survived to be reunited and love one another. This happens only in her final draft, and is her attempt both to leave her reader with hope and to rewrite history, to make whole what has been broken. Further, she learns, during the intervening years, that common humanity sometimes forbids the truth, as when she comforts the dying soldier Luc, allowing him to believe that she is his fiancée and telling him she loves him before he dies. She is aware, at the end of her own life, that her redemptive novel will be unpublished until after her own death, and is not troubled by it.
Ginny sets herself the task of saving five thousand lives, and so far as she knows, she fails. Working herself to the bone, she dies before she is able to reach the magic number, although she helps many, many thousands and saves more than four thousand. In her own mind this is failure, because she is trying to save as many as she "killed." But after her death -- indeed, on the occasion of her funeral -- her actions have the effect of healing the breach between Muggles and wizardkind, bridging the gap between magic and science, and ushering in a golden age. Further, in my story, the love does reemerge -- the last surviving Weasley, Ginny's great-grandnephew, meets the woman of his dreams at a ceremony unveiling a posthumous statue in Ginny's honor; she is the sculptor.
McEwan's command of character is frightening. With just a few sentences, sometimes a single sentence, he can suggest oceans about a character's personality and outlook.
Each successive moment Atonement's plot surprised me, even shocked me. Yet, in retrospect, I realized that each of those moments was perfectly consistent with the characters, that, indeed, I should have seen it coming. I'd love to be able to write that well.
If you haven't read it then don't look under the cut – give yourself the pleasure of being surprised by it yourself.

Bristol-Myers Fined |$2.1 Million by FTC
(CN) – The Federal Trade Commission said it has fined Bristol-Myers Squibb $2.1 million for cutting a secret deal under which rival company Apotex agreed not to launch a generic version of Plavix, a blood thinner.
Bristol-Myers agreed to pay the fine for violating a 2003 FTC order requiring disclosure of such agreements, the FTC said.
Bristol-Myers failed to disclose the side deal, which it reached in a patent settlement, according to the FTC complaint. It says Apotex agreed to delay release of the generic drug for "several years," and that Bristol-Myers agreed not to compete with Apotex for 180 days after it did release the generic version.

The trial of former officer and suspected sexual predator Daniel Holtzclaw began this week; all of his alleged victims are black females. The jury deciding his fate is all White. Ironically, the Supreme Court at this very moment is reviewing the routine practice of excluding black citizens from juries. This case continues to receive little attention, which would be the complete opposite if Holtzclaw was black or if the victims had been White. While black females in Oklahoma receive no sympathy, Whites are singing an entirely different tune about the "war on drugs" now that hoards of Whites are languishing with heroin, prescription medication and methamphetamine addiction. For decades Whites have offered no compassion and lots of jail time for black people suffering from substance abuse issues. Whites also spent a good deal of time sulking about recent date showing rising death rates for middle-aged Whites. Perhaps this is also a product of "the Obama effect"?

It was anybody's game Friday when the Minot Bishop Ryan Lions and the Rugby Panthers faced off in the Minot Auditorium for the Region 6 Class B Championship.
Ten times the score would be tied. The Panthers dressed in their whites could not take the Lions at the end who roared to a finish of 56-45. Each team struggled to find their rhythm in the first half.Rugby shot 31 percent in the first half and Bishop Ryan shot 25 percent.
The first quarter started off with a three pointer bucket from the Lions and immediately followed with three by the Panthers. And it was soon tied at 4-4, and then 6-6, and 9-9 and finished the first quarter at 11-11. It was a tight game, back and forth, good defensive, good offense, and sometimes seeming like repeat, do it again, repeat.
The second quarter started out with Rugby's Devan Michels falling on his elbow, taking him out of the quarter with 4:52 on the clock. He returned the next quarter, looking ready to go.
Landen Foster scored a crazy 2 point bucket that came off the back, twirled around the rim and in slow motion fell through the net. Each team was patiently offensive. And the game again tied, at 13-13 in the second quarter. Seth Jaeger lost from the free throw bucket to immediately get a 2 point bucket. The Lions were 17-16 with 90 seconds to go in the half, the score tied again at 17-17 but ended in 18-17 Rugby at the half time buzzer.
The third quarter got underway with Panther's Jaden Hamilton getting a 3 point bucket taking the score to 25-23, and then he scored another 3 pointer bringing the score to 31-29. The Panthers were on the move and it was tied at 31-31. The Lions put in the 3 bucket, and the Panthers followed with Hamilton's two pointer making the score 34-34.
The Lions' Mason Hedberg finished the third quarter with a bucket for two points finalizing the third quarter 36-34. It was still anybody's game.
Foster knocked in a 2 point bucket for the Panthers upping the score to another tie of 36-36 with 7:09 on the clock. Then Hegger for the Lion's got a 3 point slam, followed by another 3 points bringing the score 42-36 which was the beginning of the end for the Panthers. The lead became 44-36, with the largest lead of the game by 8 points, and it was cold for the Panthers as a foul on Goven netted Sheen two free throws from the line which were both good, making the score 48-36.
The Lions outscored the Panthers 19-16 to take a two-point lead entering the fourth quarter. But Hedberg sparked a 12-0 run for the Lions with two 3-pointers, a steal and a layup in transition. Hedberg rebounded from the first quarter but it was when it counted.
"I knew I just had to stick with my shot," Hedberg said.
Hedberg led Ryan with 19 points, while Ben Bohl scored with 16 points and nine rebounds. The Lions shot 37 percent from the floor, 5-of-18 from beyond the arc and made 15 of 24 free throws. The Lions had 5 of 18 from beyond the arc and 15 of 24 free throws.
Hamilton scored a team-high 14 points for Rugby, while Foster recorded 10 points. The Panthers shot 36 percent from the floor, 3-of-13 from beyond the arc and outrebounded Ryan 30-28.
"I think we played good basketball, and then there were two minutes in there where they hit two threes on us and two transition buckets," Mike Santjer, Rugby Panther's coach said. "We lost our mind a little bit after that and we stopped attacking. Kudos to those guys, they're a great team and I wish them well."
This is the second straight year for The Lions to the title of Region 6 Champions. The State Championships were held in Bismarck this weekend and scores were not available at press time.

When coming to Europe, it is truly impossible to not come back with stories for your family and friends back home. With the culture being so different (Click here for article about culture differences) you are bound to push your boundaries and try new things. For some this is a little nerve-racking while for others this is a complete thrill. The following are top five things to do "for the story", and obviously the spontaneously good time you will most likely have.
1) Go into an Original Palace. Back in the day Florence was known to be one of the wealthiest places in Europe. A couple families were very well known, the biggest one being the Medici Family. There are a couple original Medici palaces in Florence, your goal is to befriend someone who can bring you to one. Yes, I realize this is difficult but if you are open to meeting everyone you never know whom you will meet. It is not impossible!
2) A Day with Someone Culturally Different. When travelling you will be surprised at how many new people you will meet in the span of one day. Here's your task, spend a day with someone who does not speak your language and lives somewhere completely different to you. Although the language barrier might be challenging you will learn a lot! Being culturally aware and diverse is important in today's world, so you might as well start while you are travelling!
3) Be a Yes Man. Has anyone ever thought about what it would be like to be Jim Carry for a day? His goofy personality makes him seem like he is having so much fun. For those of you who know the movie "Yes Man" starring Jim Carry now is your chance! Be a yes man for the day. Here's the rule: you are not allowed to say no… to anything (clearly with safety in mind). Be open and see where the day takes you.
4) Try a Food from a Different Culture. Apart of experiencing a new place is immersing yourself into their culture. You want to look, talk and eat like them…at least try for a day! If you go to the San Lorzeno Food Market you will find many Florentine specials. For example, pig ears and cow stomach are something people enjoy here. Although something may disgust you, be adventurous and try something unusual.
5) Take A Spontaneous Day Trip. It is this simple, go to the train station and get tickets for the very next possible train you can catch. Wherever the destination may be, plan your day trip on the train and wonder the new city completely blind. This could be really fun and you may find a place you have never even heard of to be quite spectacular.

I have this article in full-text.
Pancreatic Enzyme Pharmacotherapy
Marcus Ferrone, Pharm.D., Massimo Raimondo, M.D., and James S. Scolapio, M.D.
Supplemental pancreatic enzyme preparations are provided to patients with
conditions of pancreatic exocrine deficiency such as chronic pancreatitis and
cystic fibrosis. These patients frequently experience steatorrhea, which occurs
from inadequate fat absorption. The delivery of sufficient enzyme
concentrations into the duodenal lumen simultaneously with meals can
reduce nutrient malabsorption, improve the symptoms of steatorrhea, and in
some cases alleviate the pain associated with chronic pancreatitis. Current
clinical practices dictate administration of lipase 25,000–40,000 units/meal by
using pH-sensitive pancrelipase microspheres, along with dosage increases,
compliance checks, and differential diagnosis in cases of treatment failure.
Despite the large number of specialty enzyme replacements available
commercially, many patients remain dissatisfied with standard therapy, and
future developments are needed to optimize treatment in these individuals.
Key Words: pancreatic enzymes, pancrelipase, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis.
(Pharmacotherapy 2007;27(6):910–920)

Elizabeth Gaskell Quotes About CharacterQuotes about: Character
God has made us so that we must be mutually dependent. We may ignore our own dependence, or refuse to acknowledge that others depend upon us in more respects than the payment of weekly wages; but the thing must be, nevertheless. Neither you nor any other master can help yourselves. The most proudly independent man depends on those around him for their insensible influence on his character - his life.
Neither loss of father, nor loss of mother, dear as she was to Mr Thornton, could have poisoned the remembrance of the weeks, the days, the hours, when a walk of two miles, every step of which was pleasant, as it brought him nearer and nearer to her, took him to her sweet presence - every step of which was rich, as each recurring moment that bore him away from her made him recal some fresh grace in her demeanour, or pleasant pungency in her character.

American Revolution
The American Revolution, which took place from 1775 to 1783, inspired—and continues to inspire—a vast body of poetry, much of which attempts to allegorize the fledgling nation's birth and cast its genesis in the language of archetypal struggles and timeless human themes.

text: FIRE & RESCUE Stevensville warehouse burns STEVENSVILLE -- A fire broke out at a downtown Stevensville warehouse early Saturday, summoning firefighters from two area Berrien County fire departments. One-third of the 13,000- square-foot warehouse in the 2100 block of Kimmel Street was engulfed in the fire that broke out at midnight, Lincoln Charter Township Fire Chief Ron Burkett told WSBT-TV. There were no reports of injuries. Firefighters from Bridgman and Royalton Township assisted Lincoln Charter Township firefighters to contain the blaze. FIRE & RESCUE Dog alerts sleeping owner to house fire NILES -- A homeowner's barking dog was credited Saturday with alerting a sleeping resident to a house fire, Howard Township fire officials said. The blaze began about 4:20 a.m. when the resident was sleeping and another resident was out delivering newspapers, Howard Township Fire Chief Ed Leneway said. Firefighters from Dowagiac, Pokagon, Niles city and Niles and Bertrand townships battled flames at the home in the 2200 block of Lake Street in Cass County until about 5:30 a.m. when they brought the fire under control, Leneway said. No injuries were reported, he said. The fire was sparked by an electrical malfunction, he said. EDUCATION Activist: 'Jenkins has lost his way' SOUTH BEND -- Randall Terry, a Catholic anti-abortion activist, predicted Saturday that Notre Dame president, the Rev. John I. Jenkins, will either resign or lose his job over his decision to invite President Barack Obama to speak at Notre Dame's commencement May 17. Standing just outside the large stone pillars on Notre Dame Avenue on the edge of the campus, Terry said, "Jenkins has lost his way. "What Father Jenkins has done is create confusion and scandal in the Catholic world," Terry said, adding he grieves and prays for him. Terry said he planned to protest Obama's appearance for 40-plus days in "a peaceful and very aggressive" fashion. Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown said in a statement Friday that the school "has no interest in engaging with those who use tactics that are not conducive to positive collaboration." CRIME & COURTS Woman stabbed over deodorant SOUTH BEND -- A 38-year-old South Bend woman was arrested Friday night after she allegedly stabbed her sister following an argument over a stick of deodorant and a pair of boxer shorts, according to police reports. The victim, 36, was taken to a local hospital for treatment of stab wounds, police said. The victim reported being stabbed with a knife by her sister shortly before 11 p.m. at their home in the 2200 block of South Philippa Street. MEDIA Cass schools chief to be on radio SOUTH BEND -- The radio show "Providing Options" will talk today with Superintendent Greg Weatherspoon of the Cassopolis Public Schools. He'll talk about unique approaches he hopes to share with other school districts and his family ties to Cass County. The taped radio show will air at 9:05 p.m. on WSBT-AM (960).

How did time go by so quickly? No, really. How? There are exactly 6 weeks left of classes for this term. And to put this into perspective (since I'll be, hopefully, done my Masters Research Paper in June) there are only four months left until I finish my Masters degree. Four months. Four months until I leave Kingston for good.
I don't know about you, but I've gotten extremely attached to this city. Who knows why, really. There's something so charming about Kingston that I've fallen head over heels in love with. And even though I complain incessantly about leaving home during my breaks, coming back to Kingston reminds me why I love it.
Oh, friends. My time in Kingston is almost over. And yet, I feel like I haven't done half the things I wanted to do in this city. There's still so much to do and see. And so, I've compiled a list of things I'd like to do in Kingston before I leave (on top of all my work, of course).
1. Visit the Kingston Penitentiary. Because a tour of the local jail is free for all students. With your student card, of course. What's up.
2. Play squash at the ARC. Or just, you know, go to the ARC regularly for a period of time in general. Because I need to do something about this sedentary existence that is my life. And I also need to see the inside of the campus gym at some point during this degree.
3. Why haven't I ever been to Tir Nan Og? Like, ever? This needs to change.
4. Why haven't I ever been to Harper's Burgers? This also needs to change. Those burgers are rumoured to be life-changing. Mmmm. Succulent, mouth-watering beef. Come to me.
5. Take a Kingston Boat Tour. I don't exactly know how to do this. But my officemate keeps insisting that I go. And that I should perfectly time it so that I'm on the boat when the sun sets because it's apparently absolutely beautiful. How exciting. I should do this in June.
6. And since Kingston is in such close proximity to Ottawa and Montreal, why haven't I taken a weekend trip to either of these cities? I'd love to go to Ottawa for Canada Day. This needs to happen.
7. I want to make my last four months in Kingston count. And if that includes stuffing myself by trying out all the restaurants I wanted to visit in Kingston, then so be it. See: Niji Sushi, Copper Penny, Luke's.
8. Study at Douglas Library. In the Harry Potter Room. I still haven't been inside. I know, shame on me.
9. Take pictures along the lake in the spring. Or, better yet, fly a kite by the lake in the spring. I've seen people do this, and I want in. Also, I don't really walk around the lake area very much, so I should probably wander the area before I leave.
10. Carrot cake. The Sleepless Goat. Enough said.
There are probably more things to add to this list, but I'll leave it at that for now.
Oh, Kingston. I'm going to miss you when I leave. I'm going to try to make the most out of my last few months with you.
"In all affairs, it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted."
- Bertrand Russell

VICTORVILLE � The San Bernardino County Fire Department ordered evacuations of two homes and a strip mall due to a natural gas leak Thursday morning, officials said.
County Fire Capt. Jay Hausman said firefighters received a report just after 9 a.m. that a Southwest Gas line was leaking at the corner of El Evado Road and Hook Boulevard.
A liquor store and a smoke shop were shut down and evacuated, while two nearby homes were also evacuated, Hausman said. He said approximately five people were ordered to leave the businesses, while five adults and three children were temporarily forced out of their homes due to "large amount of product" leaking from the broken line.
Hausman said a Southwest Gas crew was called to the scene and took about 15 minutes to repair the line. The evacuations were cleared by 9:45 a.m., but crews were still working to restore gas service to the businesses.
A private contracting crew was doing underground work at the site when the leak occurred. The exact cause of the broken line was not immediately known. No injuries or damages were reported.
As they were finishing up at the gas leak scene at about 10 a.m., firefighters received reports of a traffic collision just down the street, near the intersection of El Evado and Seneca roads.
Hausman said a sedan collided with a pickup truck, causing moderate damage to both vehicles and minor injuries to two occupants. One person was transported to a local hospital, and the other refused to be transported, Hausman said.

We live in a society that too often recognizes a job done poorly rather than job done right.
This letter seeks to correct that. The Johannesburg-Lewiston School system deserves such recognition.
From the teachers to the administration, to the school board and to the support staff, we would like to say thank you for a job well done.

Air Conditioning Repair – Common Problems To Look Out For
Your air conditioner is an important part of your home one that you will notice immediately if and when it fails. You want it to be working in peak condition, especially when it's hot outside. The last thing you want is for it to suddenly go out on you. Using your air conditioner consistently will lead to wear and tear that is normal for the machine but it's always a good idea to keep an eye out for other problems that may come up. Noticing issues with your air conditioner ahead of time will allow you to have it repaired before it becomes a bigger issue.
Some common issues that can lead to needing to repair your air conditioner are:
Refrigerant Leaks – You should check the refrigerant in your air conditioner on a fairly consistent basis and be sure that it's not low. If it is, either it was improperly charged during installation, or it's leaking. Adding refrigerant to a leaking system isn't going to fix the problem. You'll need a trained repairman to make any needed fixes. You don't want to have a system that is either over or undercharged. Leaking refrigerant can be dangerous to the environment and any wildlife (or children) in the area.
Dirty Filters and Coils – Not regularly cleaning your machine can cause wear and tear to become significantly more damaging. Your air conditioner will fail to work properly and will lose life expectancy due to improper maintenance.
Electric Failure – The electric controls to the compressor and fan can wear out over time, especially if the machine is not the right size for the area its cooling. Corrosion and damage can cause controls to fail as well. It's important to know what this looks like so you'll know if you need to call in a repairman for service.
Sensor Issues – If your thermostat sensor isn't working correctly then the whole system may be working inadequately. Check to make sure the sensor is located near the evaporative coil but not touching it. A serviceman can fix it if you're not sure that the sensor is working the way it should. (A good way to tell is that your machine is acting erratically, turning on or off at odd times or running constantly.)
Drainage – Make sure your air conditioner is draining properly and isn't clogged. A clogged machine can cause water to flow into the electronics shorting it out and causing severe damage.
If you're looking at having your air conditioner repaired for any of the above problems then feel free to contact us. We'd love to help you out with your cooling issues.

One thing I really love about church planting is the networking that takes place among new churches. I get to talk with others who have similar goals and plans in their cities all over the county about the similar challenges we face. I have learned so much from talking to one person specifically, which is Monica Nelson.
Monica and her husband Mark were in campus ministry at Purdue when I was a student in campus ministry at Indiana University. They are now planting a church in Knoxville, Tennessee where Monica leads children and groups like I do for The Pursuit. We are able to swap great ideas and laugh about the crazy things we do to pull off the work in all the different ministry areas we are in.
I love that Monica loves what she does. She is someone I admire in her character as a woman in ministry as well as wife, a mother, and a friend. And I especially love that she is willing to take time out of her busy schedule to talk with me and coach me on areas where I need help.
I find it so nice to know that we are all in this together and that the Church is bigger than the congregation that any one person attends on Sunday. God has so many people who seek to serve him all over the world and we share a common bond because of it.

Hey there! I'm back with another Avocado Arts guest designer post. I've had so much fun working with the Smitten With You set – it really put me in the holiday spirit. Here's what I came up with:
I stamped the base of the snowglobe onto patterned paper and then attached it to the globe piece that I had stamped on plain white. I added subtle blue snowflakes and then paper-pieced some mittens and a scarf onto the little penguin – just love that dude. I kept the rest of the card simple and just added a little white scalloped border to the bottom to add a little interest.
A huge thank you to Avocado Arts for hosting me as their guest designer this month! It's been a ton of fun!
Be sure to check out their adorable stamps on their site!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the weekend.

Quick Buck Thursday: A Few Of My Favorites
I don't care what you say, Julie Andrews was a hottie!
It's a good start to the season going 2-0 on the 5-unit games. Stick with me kid, we're going places!
Unit Roll - 51 Units
Louisiana Tech @ North Texas -3.5 - 2 units
Both these teams had rough first games against the Big XII and then convincing wins in their second. These two are pretty evenly matched. But The Mean Green are a convincing 8-1 ATS at home their last nine home games. I like those odds.
Louisville -6.5 @ Virginia - 5 units
Virginia hung tough with UCLA. Louisville doesn't need to travel as far as the Bruins. It looks like Bobby has the Cardinals picking up right were he left off. I'd get on this one before the sharps starting pushing it back up.
Kansas @ Duke -15 - 2 units
Duke is 2-0. But they are just 0-1-1 ATS. And you know what? I don't care. Kansas is, well, Kansas. On the road. Where there are 7-18-1 in their last 26. It's ah not so great. Enjoy this little afternoon W.
Purdue @ Notre Dame -28 - 2 units
Purdue is a dumpster fire. Golson is not the same quarterback he was two years ago. Easy pick.
Arizona State -15.5 @ Colorado - 2 units
What a nice little nightcap. No? Colorado continues to impress this season by starting out 0-2 ATS. I know The Devils have had their struggles on the road, but you just can't pass this up. But grab this number now before it gets any higher.
The Baylor Bears Bonus Over Of The Week
Baylor @ Buffalo - OVER 69
We're going with the namesake in this one. I have a feeling this one comes in around 85.
The Bob Drake "I need another team for my 21 team teaser" Double Bonus
Nebraska @ Fresno State - Over 63
Both these teams have gone over in both their games thus far. The Black Shirts are non-existent. Grab it before it goes up.

speaks against
Groups opposed to having Missouri legislators overturn a 1976 CWIP (Construction Work in Progress) law preventing utilities from charging ratepayers prior to having a new power plant operating bought Peter Bradford to the state to help make their argument.
Bradford, a former member of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and former chair of the New York State Public Service Commission and Maine State Public Utility Commission, is considered an expert in utility financing and regulation. He visited St. Louis, Columbia and Kansas City recently, outlining arguments against Senate Bill 228, introduced by Republican Delbert Scott from the 28th District in southwest Missouri.
The proposed law is called — "cynically," say opponents — the Missouri Clean and Renewable Energy Construction Act. Passage of the legislation would allow another nuclear power facility to be built in the state. Disposal of nuclear waste and the recycling of spent commercial-reactor nuclear fuel remain problems for the utility industry.
Despite a lack of a permanent solution to nuclear waste disposal, St. Louis-based AmerenUE and other utility companies believe a nuclear renaissance is at hand because of concern for climate change and increased future power demands. Passage of SB 228 would allow AmerenUE to more easily finance the building of a second nuclear plant in Callaway County by overturning the prohibition of CWIP charges by utility ratepayers. Missouri voters banned CWIP by a 2-to-1 majority in 1976.
"The question is, who will underwrite a nuclear renaissance?" asked Bradford before a small crowd at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church on Feb. 3.
"In Missouri, these are desperate times for them (utilities). The reason is they can't get private financing for nuclear power plants."
High construction costs, large financial risks and the length of time it takes to get a plant operating dampen the private capital market's willingness to finance nuclear plants. Also, said Bradford, federal loan guarantees likely aren't forthcoming from the Obama administration at this time.
"But at the state level," Bradford said, "they are seeking the other deep pocket available — the customers.
"With CWIP, it uses the state's power to redirect the flow of customers' money, making it easier for the utility to finance the plant and helps alleviate the credit crunch."
Bradford added that because of provisions in SB 228, the financial risk shifts from shareholders and investors in the utility company to ratepayers, with investors protected even if the plant gets cancelled. According to Bradford, one-half of the permits issued for nuclear plants are cancelled.
"Page 24 of the bill insures that if anything goes wrong, the customers will pay for it," including the full cost of cancelled plants, said Bradford.
Bradford also believes having a utility like Ameren receive ratepayer money prior to a plant's operation, "gives them (the utility) the incentive to take risks" to try and achieve net savings during construction. The bill weakens, he said, the process of reviewing the "flow of funds" or prudence review process in determining where and how money is spent during construction. He called the lack of oversight in SB 228 "way above other CWIP laws in other states."
Craig Volland, with a local chapter of the Sierra Club, also spoke. That group along with AARP, Missouri Coalition for the Environment, Midwest Coalition for Responsible Investments, Missouri Association for Social Welfare and others are loosely formed under an umbrella organization opposing CWIP called Missourians for Fair Electric Rates.
Volland contends the proposed legislation for CWIP would affect investment in alternative energy. "It establishes an unfair bias against alternative energy, an unfair economic bias and discourages investment," he said.
In comparing wind farms to large electrical plants, Volland said a wind farm can be operating in 18-24 months and is more economical because capacity can be added as power demand changes. He challenged statements from utilities about increasing electrical demand, noting that because of the switch from incandescent lighting, a significant power requirement is lessening. He called conservation and energy efficiency construction, like weatherization efforts, more economical that building nuclear power plants.
"It makes absolutely no sense to invest $10 billion in a new centralized plant," Volland said.
About a half-dozen advocates for SB 228 attended the meeting. One individual challenged the benefits of weatherization, basing his remarks on his experience in weatherizing his home. A man identifying himself as a union boilermaker lamented the lost of experience in building nuclear plants among his union ranks, saying such a "brain trust" can be regained through support of CWIP. Ameren claims up to 2,500 contractors would be employed during the five-year construction period for a new Callaway nuclear plant.
Ameren was also called a "great business partner" by what is assumed to be a union member.
"I trust them," he said.
A hearing has been scheduled on SB 228 before the Commerce, Consumer Protection, Energy and the Environment Committee for Feb. 10 in Jefferson City. Greater Kansas City legislators on the committee include Matt Bartle, Dist. 8, Jolie Justus, Dist. 10, Brad Lager Dist. 12 and Luann Ridgeway, Dist. 17.

text: Risks, Righteousness, and the Illusion of Safety Feb 24 2011 Being a juggler is all about taking risks. Being a juggler who performs rather than just juggles for recreation is even moreso. Every toss is a possible mistake. My life would feel a lot more 'safe' if I stuck to routines I've been performing successfully for years... or if I only juggled for fun and fitness... or if I just watched other jugglers on TV and never actually tried it myself...In His book 'Wild Goose Chase', which I highly recommend, author Mark Batterson states, "Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death." This goes completely against much of the convertional wisdom that humankind has always followed. But for a follower of Jesus, this statement should be both profound and convicting.First, we need to acknowledge the fact that all attempts at absolute safety are an illusion. While it's true that God would not have us live recklessly, it's also true that there are no guarantees of safety, ever. What conjures up a picture of peace and tranquility more than an Amish schoolhouse? Yet one such school was the site of mass murder just a few years ago. A few years earlier, Cassie Burnell arrived safely at Columbine High School, and was quietly studying in the library, when suddenly she became a martyr for her faith at the hands of two armed classmates. Planes can crash, houses can burn, lightning can strike, illusions of security can be shattered.Now please don't misunderstand me, God has made us stewards of our lives and the lives of those in our care: children, elderly parents, students, etc. We must take good care of them. As Steve Camp said, "To live dangerously is not to live recklessly but righteously." So when something is RIGHT, we must do it uncompromisingly, fearlessly, or, perhaps, in spite of our fears. In other words, we must forgive without restraint, give without holding back, speak without watering down the truth, go on that mission trip without all the comforts of a tourist, visit the sick and imprisoned without judgement, confront sin without compromise, and open the most private places in our hearts to the Holy Spirit without excuse."Perfect love casts out all fear." I want to do more with the life Jesus has given me than simple live safely until I die.

My parents just returned from a trip to the Netherlands where Dad was filmed by a TV station in Groningen for a TV show about his family's emigration from Holland in 1952. Dad was followed by a TV camera for 3 days - they shot hours of footage which will be condensed into a 30 minute program (in Dutch). In the following pictures Mom sent me, I was thrilled to see the places which John & I visited with Mom & Dad in 2003:
The Christian Reformed Church in Bedum. Dad is talking about the 1944 split in the church.
Top of the dike at Noordpoulderzijl. It is very windy and scenic up there. That is a mighty tall Dutch lady there seeing as Dad is about 6 foot!
Dad is being interviewed in front of the car dealership in Bedum which his father owned. He is next to his cousin Aaf whose father took over the dealership in 1952
Candlelit breakfast at the B&B where they stayed.

Wow. How did it come about? Did you all know that he will be featured before they went?
Dad was followed by a TV camera for 3 days - they shot hours of footage
Must be tiring as well.

Hi Pearlie,
Yes, the TV station arranged for them to come over. During their last visit, a cousin set up a radio interview which went so well that they wanted to do a TV show. It would be tiring, but fun - Dad said it was all impromptu, ie. he didn't know what they were going to ask him beforehand.

United Nations: Expressing concern over the
continued sectarian violence in Pakistan, a group of UN human
rights experts has said targetted killings have become a
"recurrent practice" in the country, which is failing to
protect the security of religious minorities.
The experts warned that sectarian violence threatens
to worsen if the Pakistani government does not respond swiftly
and decisively to confront it.
Sectarian violence has "sadly become a recurrent
practice in Pakistan, and we urge the Pakistan Government to
identify and prosecute the perpetrators and do everything
possible to establish strengthened security measures," UN
Independent Expert on minority issues Rita Izsak said in a
At least 18 Shia Muslims were killed in a February 28
attack on a bus in Kohistan in northern Pakistan by
unidentified gunmen.
In a previous incident on February 17 more than 30
people were killed and wounded when a suicide bomber exploded
a bomb close to a mosque in a mainly Shia neighbourhood in the
Kurram tribal region.
Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief
Heiner Bielefeldt said "these targeted killings once more
display the appalling degree of religious hatred in a country
where there seems to be a failure to protect the security of
religious minorities."
The experts expressed their condolences to the
families of those killed and all the people of Pakistan who
suffer from such acts of terror, saying such killings are
"extremely shocking" and constitute acts that require the
strongest response.
They asked the Pakistani government to respond
"decisively" to end sectarian violence and improve the
security of religious minorities.
"Such serious incidents demand, and communities have
the right to expect, the most rigorous response possible from
the Government," Christof Heyns, Special Rapporteur on
extrajudicial executions, said.

With November here, I want to do a reminder adoption post about a sweet sweet foster kitty who couldn't be advertised during October. Common protocol these days is to not adopt out black cats during the month of October. Most of you already know about this so I won't go into all of that. There are even parts of the country where adopting out a black cat in the weeks before Halloween is not considered a bad idea. But in my part of the country, unfortunately, it still IS a bad idea. So my foster cat Cato hasn't received any blog time in a while. I'd sure like to get this great guy adopted into his very own wonderful home. And you might remember that he has a best friend Wisher here – Smokey.
Cato was not comfortable with people initially. I offered to my daughters to have him come here so that I could work with him, hopefully bringing him to an adoptable disposition. Cato has been here now almost a year. He is a wonderful, loving, beautiful cat. He will not be an "easy" adjustment (as many of my own Wishers are not). He will probably be afraid at first and require some time and patience. But he will end up being a real joy in someone's life. He is easy-going and nonaggressive when it comes to other cats. I hope someone out there will give this guy a chance.
He became best friends with Smokey (one of my Wishers) when Smokey moved from the cathouse to the kennel cat rooms after being bullied by some other male cats. Smokey is a very big cat. But his personality doesn't match his size. He is easily bullied and needs a home without other male cats (or with other cats who are nonaggressive). Cato was kind to him when they lived in the same area in the kennel. Smokey started showing his personality – he really liked the other cats . . . because this was a group of cats who didn't bully him. He and Cato have been together for months and months. They moved into the new cathouse addition together when I opened that room. They share the room with Sallie – who is also easily bullied and who stresses badly when living with lots of other cats. These three are about to have a huge stressor come into their lives. Momma Monday and her three growing kittens, along with Dora and Jaws will be moving into the new addition of the cathouse sometime later this month. If I could get the sweet Cato and his best buddy Smokey into a real home very very soon, they would not have to make the adjustment to a room full of new cats. (Sallie is practically unadoptable so I'm not sure yet how to best care for her during this transition.)
I am hoping there is someone out there who would give this pair of special boys a patient loving home. With enough time, I believe these two guys will make really nice family members.
OK. Yes. It is now November. I heard on the news over the weekend that November 1st is absolutely The Beginning of the Holiday Shopping Season. You might love that or you might hate it. But either way, some of your Christmas shopping could be made easier by shopping at Andrea's auction to benefit Winnie's Wish. It opens THIS SATURDAY!! Whoo Hoo!! Until then, Andrea is still hoping for more item donations.
See you tomorrow.

Do Online Gambling sites target children?
The Government has released a list of online gambling sites believed to be targeting children and teaching them to gamble. It is believed that the gambling sites use the children's electronic games to install a gambling culture. Companies like Bingo Blitz and Big Fish Casino are on top of the list that warns parents to monitor their children's gaming behavior.
On the list released, the government decided to classify the electronic games as either red or yellow, with yellow being the moderate and red the most dangerous. This is to also help parents know which games and the amount of influence they may have on their children. This may be seen as a blow in the fight against gambling problem in Australia as the community groups try to cut out gambling.
The biggest setback in the fight against this online games is that most of them are freely downloadable. There are well over 60 games added to the list with a promise of more to follow.
Can children get addicted to online gambling?
Supporters of the toy manufacturers say there is nothing wrong with the games as these are just virtual rewards. Although it may be a far-fetched idea that children can grow to be addicted to gambling simply by playing. However, the electronic game producers are the same producers of real money gambling sites.
On the list produced by the government, the red category has other big names like Dice Poker 3D. The same red category uses casino-style, gambling elements, and graphics, as well as the sound encouraging players. The yellow category may not be as bad as the red category, but it still allows its players to win bonuses through chance and they also invite the players to visit or build their own virtual casinos.
The state says this is wrong because it trains the young minds to believe that there is nothing wrong. Regardless of the age of the player.
