"It is not the traveller who shapes the path, but the path that shapes the traveller."
By I Can't Remember.
We've talked about the Pilgrim Road itself and the festivals that inspired pilgrimage, but the pilgrimage itself had a great effect on the pilgrim.
Because the pilgrimage was undertaken over many days and sometimes across foreign lands or across desolate places, it was unwise to travel alone. The larger your party, the less likely you were to be targeted by thieves. If you forgot something, the more likely those with you could share without creating hardship. You could watch your children collectively, gather resources collectively, cook collectively, make camp collectively, break camp collectively, live and travel in community.
We see a great picture of this in Luke 2:41-50. Joseph and Mary are heading back to Nazareth after celebrating the Passover in Jerusalem. So trusting are they in the community they are with that they walk a WHOLE DAY without seeing Jesus. We know Jesus had brothers and sisters; maybe they were capturing all of their parents' attention that day. Maybe the pressure of having to parent a perfect child made them enjoy the interlude of not having a persistently correct 12-year-old around. Whatever the reason, they trusted their community this much and assumed he was with one of the families. Upon realizing their error, they immediately went and got him. But if this had happened today, Child Protective Services would have been called. (By the way, have you ever been guilty of bone-head parenting? Well Jesus' parents did it too, and He turned out alright, so give yourself a break.)
So were there disadvantages to living in this kind of community? Why, yes. If you like privacy, well, that's out the window. If you're one of those people who never wants anyone to know you have problems, too bad. If you want people to think you make more than you do or that your kids never back-talk you or that you eliminate without odor, then you're going to be uncomfortable. On the Pilgrim Road, all your quirks and idiosyncrasies are out in the open. Oh, your sins get a pretty fair viewing also. If you've ever been on a camping trip with friends or family, you know the truth of this.
Of course, they had to stick together no matter what, so what you wound up with was a bunch of people who accepted you, even when they had seen you at your worst and because of that, you were motivated to be better. To be better to the community and in the community that had accepted you as you were. You know that neighbor you were in that terrible fight with? You probably don't want to spend days on the road wondering when that is going to blow up on you. Better make up. Not enough motivation to be a better citizen of the community? Well, you're going to make sacrifices at THE TEMPLE where the presence of God has been rumored to refuse sacrifices offered from a bad heart. Sometimes when that happens, well, it's unpleasant. Better go make up.
On The Pilgrim Road, I find myself encouraged to forgive others because they will probably have to forgive me for something. On The Pilgrim Road, I find patience for others because they had to have patience with me. On The Pilgrim Road, I see the greatness of God in the way He makes up for my weaknesses by providing others who are strong, and I get to see moments where my strengths make up for weaknesses in others. On The Pilgrim Road, I find community, love and family. On The Pilgrim Road, I see God's body moving and working and growing together. No matter how hard the journey may seem, my best life is lived on The Pilgrim Road. And in Christ, I don't have to travel anywhere to enjoy all that The Pilgrim Road has to offer. I'm always on the road to deeper relationship with Him.

Historical Examples of seleucidan
But how long would they be able to resist an attack of the Seleucidan army?
Thus Juda came under the rule of the Seleucidan kings (203–202).
In the struggle some Jews sided with the Egyptian and some with the Seleucidan party.
He introduced the Seleucidan era named after him beginning with the year 312.
Fortune, however, had changed sides since the time of Antiochus the Great, and no longer favored the Seleucidan dynasty.History of the Jews, Vol. II (of 6)

Washington, DC. The Americans, yes the ugly Americans are on the way to North Korea with ill intent and that is exactly what the concern is, as experts begin to realize the "master of the deal" has simply put himself in a corner of no escape on North Korea.
American President Donald Trump may have "backed himself into a corner" by threatening North Korea with military action over its weapons tests, experts have warned.
In Pyongyang, North Korea there was no sign of a sixth nuclear test on the symbolic Day of the Sun, which marks Kim Jong-Un's grandfather's birthday, but analysts believe a major new launch could be imminent.
One such expert from an Asian NGO think tank offered, the President may have "boxed himself into a corner" by vowing not to tolerate any more violations from North Korea when the country has so far been undeterred by the international community.
"With the attacks in Syria, and the Trump trademark use of the "biggest bomb" the USA has in Afghanistan, Trump's next action must out do all previous acts to carry credibility." the analyst added,"If it does carry out more testing, how does he spin this to his own people?"
"A show of force has to be credible and the situation is so precarious on the Korean Peninsula that it's hard for that to happen." John Nilsson-Wright, a senior research fellow for North East Asia at Chatham House, said the deployment put Mr Trump in a corner with no escape on the North Korean issue.
Polls in the UK and America are now showing about half or 50% of persons polled, consider the North Korean crisis far more serious than the Syrian matter Trump involved himself in over his daughter's counsel in a moment of emotional outburst.

The chapter begins with Ray Penber's fiancée mourning over his death but in the end she comes to the conclusion that no, he did not die, he was killed by Kira. L in his apartment stands around his computer going over the various information that he had just received about the killings of the FBI agents, working out how Kira attained their names and faces. Back at Light Yagami's house the family is having a meeting to discuss the fact that Soichiro Yagami is the head of the Kira case. His father then gets into the matter of the twelve FBI agents that had died while on the Kira case and how many of his men are resigning one by one. He begins to tell the family how grave this task is for whoever chases Kira has a very good likelihood of being killed. Everyone other than Light yells in protest that he should stop his task before he himself gets killed but he ignores the fact of his life and tells them that it is his duty to do this.
Light stands up and tells him he is admirable and that if anything happens to him he will personally put an end to Kira, Ryuuk compliments Light on his good acting as they head up the stairs. Ryuk and Light are now in a nearby subway where Light tells him that he has been doing experiments with the Death Note involving causes of death and actions before the death. In a hooded sweatshirt concealing himself Light eyes Ray Penber and slowly walks up to him and tells him that he is Kira and if he turns around he will kill him and his fiancée. Ray shocked, does not turn around and Light/Kira says he will demonstrate in a stand about 8 yards away Kira kills a man sweeping up the shop floors. Then Light hands a package to him and tells him to board the next train and sit at a window seat. Ray does as he is told and puts on the earphone Kira has given him and listens to his instructions. First, Kira makes him answer a series of question.
Then Kira tells him to call an agent ranked lower than you to get the information of the other 10 agents, Ray does as he is told, once Ray got the information Kira tells him to write the names of all the agents on the small cut out slips of the paper sealed in the package Ray was given.Kira said once he is finished not to get off the train and his fiancée will not be harmed. Kira then instructs him to put the papers back in the package and place them on the rack above him and sit there quietly for thirty minutes, Light tells him then to leave the train when no one will notice him. Ray leaves the train and curses under his breath wondering what Kira is up to, he then gulps and clenches his heart falling to the ground he looks up face on the floor and in the train door he sees Light Yagami.

An excerpt from Devil's Deal:
Returning to his work, Lucas quickly became distracted by the sound of a car's engine knocking and looked up as a Honda pulled into a parking space. It coughed out a last effort before shutting down.
His head pivoted, doing a double take. Damn! Warm honey—those two words sprung to mind as he watched the honey-brown-skinned woman fiddling under the hood of her car. She was talking to … well, from the looks of it, she was holding a conversation with herself, chatting away.
She couldn't see him watching her through his tinted windows. Finding her behavior amusing, he sat back and crossed his arms over his chest.
Her hair, a thick mass of curls, was held back from her oval-shaped face with a thin, white hair band and piled into a disheveled updo. The short, khaki skirt she wore showed off long, shapely legs. A tennis player. No, perhaps a runner. Just then, a commotion coming from a small group of ladies standing over by the pet salon drew her attention. A dog had gotten loose from its owner and was now zipping around the parking lot. His mystery lady didn't hesitate, joining in on the chase to capture the fluffy, white, apparently freshly groomed Maltese. The animal darted under her car, and she instantly dropped down to her knees.
Lucas quickly sat up and slid closer to the window, getting a good look at her ass. "Nice. Real nice," he murmured appreciatively.
Moments later, she came up with the animal, whose fur no longer resembled puffy white clouds, and handed it off to its distraught owner who headed straight back to the pet salon, likely for a shampoo redo.
His mystery lady palmed her forehead, catching her breath, recovering from the chase.
He chuckled at the dirt smudge her hand left behind. There was something adorable about it.
As she dusted at her skirt while muttering to her car, she gave a look over his way. What the—! His breath caught in his throat. He'd expected brown eyes. He couldn't tell precisely the color from the distance and through the tinted windows, but they were nowhere near brown. Hazel? Maybe. There was a pearlescent glimmer in her eyes from the sun's waning amber. Lucas frowned. Pearlescent glimmer … sun's waning amber—what a bizarre thing to randomly pop into his head. She had his brain spewing ridiculous verse like a besotted idiot. That thought had him moving away from the window, yet he continued to watch her. He told himself to look away, but he simply couldn't, and he fought back the sudden urge to get out of the car. At the very least, he could make her aware of the dirt on her face. He moved to the door, but she grabbed a satchel from her passenger seat and strolled off. His eyes locked onto her perfect ass in that short skirt, enjoying the gentle sway of her slender hips. She stopped midstride when she came upon another woman.
It's a uniform. She works at the café. The blonde she was speaking with wore the exact outfit—white polo-style shirt and khaki skirt—but with a short, black apron tied at her waist.
During their exchange, the blonde used her hand to wipe away the dirt smudge, and then the two approached the café.
His mystery lady pulled open the door and out walked Kara with his coffee. She held the door for Kara with a smile—an exquisite smile—and then she and her coworker disappeared within.

Subject: How to verify your Omnistream decoder is receiving Video/Audio from your Omnistream encoder
This guide was created to demonstrate how to verify that an OmniStream decoder is receiving a video/audio signal stream from a Omnistream encoder using AMS(Atlona Management Software).
a. Required Software
i. AMS: https://atlona.com/ams-download-thank-you
b. Required Hardware
i. PC / Laptop running Windows 7, 8.x, 10
ii. Connection to the same Network switch OmniStream Devices are connected to
iii. RJ-45 and HDMI cables
a. Run the AMS server on your PC and run a network scan of the network the Omnistream devices are in to discover the encoder and decoder. For example purposes, I am using my Omnistream encoder at IP address 192.168.11.202 and my decoder at ip address 192.168.11.203.
b. Plug in any source via HDMI into your OmniStream encoder HDMI in port. We recommend you verify that your source is turned on and outputting video by plugging directly into a display
c. After you have located your Omnistream devices within AMS, navigate to the Input tab and verify that you are seeing video details. From this information, I can validate that I have a 1920x1080 source plugged into my encoder via my HDMI input:
d. For the next step, please verify on the Encoding tab that your stream is encoding HDMI input 1:
e. Navigate down the session tab and look at the multicast or unicast address that is subscribed to your HDMI input stream. The video stream will be multicast at an IP of 188.8.131.52. Audio will be streamed at 220.127.116.11:
f. Select your decoder device from the side bar on AMS. Click on the IP Input tab and enable the input you would like to cast video to. Select the interface you want the stream to be sent to and enter in the multicast address from your encoders destination IP address field. Because I want my video (from HDMI 1 on my encoder) to stream to my "ethernet 1" interface on my decoder, I'm entering in the IP address of 188.8.131.52. Audio has been entered on Input 3:
g. If you navigate to the HDMI Output tab on your decoder you will now see your video and audio information get populated. I can see that for Active Input that IP input 1 is selected and that my decoder is receiving video with a Status of 1920x1080p, 60fps, YUV422 fps 12 bpc:

We are proud to announce the addition of Stefanie Carnes, Ph.D., to our team of Senior Fellows. Dr. Carnes will serve as the clinical architect for Willow House at The Meadows, a new program for women struggling with sex, love, and intimacy disorders that is set to open in March of 2017.

In these times of complex debates, high stress, and anxiety--when we're constantly reading the news and watching the news and thinking about the news and arguing about the news - it can be nice to take a break and get back to basics for a bit: Like, to the basics of human emotion and behavior.

We often try to motivate ourselves through should statements:
"I should have done better."
"I shouldn't have said that."
"I should only have one cookie."

Have you ever sent the wrong text message to the exact wrong person? I have. In fact, I did it recently. I sent a message about a person TO THAT person—the horror! The consequence? Well, besides being cut from that person's Christmas card list, I suffered a complete and utter shame attack.
By Kevin McCauley, MD, Senior Fellow at The Meadows
I have this shocking statement I sometimes make in my lectures: "Heroin addicts are sweet people."
I say this partly because I'm an addict myself and I tend to make hyperbolic statements for their emotional impact (not my best quality). But I also do it to push back against the tired trope that addiction can be reduced to a personality disorder. This is what I learned in medical school: put bluntly, addicts are sociopaths.
Lara Rosenberg is the Trauma Yoga consultant at The Meadows. In this video, she leads a brief meditation on grief:
By Joyce Willis, MC, LPC, Therapist, The Meadows
What is mindfulness?
The great leaders of mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Thich Nhat Hanh and Jack Kornfield, tell us that mindfulness is the art of paying attention to what you are doing and what is going on around you in the present moment.
The Meadows has been facilitating its signature workshop, Survivors, for more than 30 years. Many people's lives have been changed by the opportunity to confront the deep emotional impact of their childhood trauma.
In 1999, the leading cause of death was car accidents. Nearly twice as many people died in a car accident as died from a fatal drug overdose. By 2014, those numbers were reversed. There were almost 40 percent more deaths from drug overdoses than from car crashes. Most of today's overdoses stem from prescription opioids and heroin, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Terry Eagan, a psychiatrist and Senior Fellow at The Meadows, is often asked by his clients and colleagues, "How can I positively impact this world when there are so many difficulties everywhere I turn – so much ill will and destruction, so much tragedy, so many people suffering seemingly insurmountable odds?"

Employee number one
Intuit, we are giving her the designation of employee number one.
She's off to Indiana to see her family and when she gets back she'll
do a little more running around for us and then she'll be helping
accountants with their QuickBooks starting on the 13th of October.

Whilst reading the paper this weekend two stories caught my eye, they were both about the same subject but from completely opposing angles - social media and its impact on the nation's love lives.
The first story was about the re-launch of a location based "flirting" website now called Floxx. The website allows user to anonymously post descriptions of people they find attractive, which are then placed on that particular location feed. It was originally launched under the politically incorrect name of FitFinder by Rich Martell, a student at UCL. Although it managed to rack up 5 million hits from 50 different universities, it also attracted a storm of controversy with accusations that it treated people like objects and was just a bit too creepy. The plug was pulled on the project after the University threatened to expel its creator. However, a former Dragon's Den panellist, Doug Richard, got to hear of the venture and contacted Rich with an offer of funding and it was reborn as Floxx. It'll be interesting to see if it takes off, but I can't help wondering just how much of a distraction it will prove to be for students in university libraries who are supposed to be studying books rather than each other!
Turning over, just a page further, was a story about how UK lawyers are seeing a big rise in divorce petitions involving Facebook in the post-Christmas divorce rush. I didn't realise that the festive season could take such a hefty toll on relationships or how serious the repercussions of an ill thought out present or over cooked dry turkey could be! The number of divorce cases citing evidence from social networking sites has increased dramatically in the past few years. In a survey carried out last year by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers 66% of respondents indicated that Facebook was a "primary source for compromising information", MySpace followed with 15% and Twitter stood at 5%. Divorce lawyers now spend a significant amount of time trawling through profiles to find evidence of misdemeanours or of unreasonable behaviour including flirtatious messages. In some instances, the use of social media is actually being blamed for causing the actual breakdown of the relationships. Remember all the stories circulating a few years ago about "Friends Reunited" being used to contact old flames and first loves? Well Facebook is now in the frame too, for apparently tempting people to flirt online and leading them astray.
So there you have it, two stories over two pages, demonstrating how social networking has become so embedded into many people's daily lives, that it can even help to make or break our closest personal relationships.

Battle Range, 1946: Further Attempts. In 1946 L. M. Erskine, Jr., and T. Baker attempted to reach the Battle Range from Beaton, on upper Arrow Lake, via the Incomappleux River. A small glacier was found on the N. side of the pass between Poole and Boyd Creeks, but the Boyd-Silvertip and Boyd-Westfall passes were crossed, although no satisfactory route to the objective peaks was discovered. A second attempt via Kellie Creek resulted in the ascent of the highest point (9000 ft.), locally known as Battle Mtn., on the W. end of the range. A cairn was found on the summit. Alders and windfalls prevented the party from reaching Battle Creek. A final attempt to cross the Boyd-Kellie ridge failed because of a 200-ft. wall of loose rock in a recently abandoned cirque.
Members of both the 1945 and the 1946 parties believe that the old routes by snow passes southward from Glacier are no longer feasible with packs owing to ice melting away from head walls.
Additional information concerning the Battle Range has been received from Elizabeth Kauffman:
"In late August 1946 Norman Brewster, Andy (my husband) and I crossed several high passes and intervening timbered valleys in an attempt to reach the Battle Range. This range lies S. of the Purity Group in the Selkirks; it extends in an E.-W. direction from the Incomappleux River toward the Beaver-Duncan Valley. The region has proved inaccessible to many climbing parties. Most of the peaks are still unclimbed, and the range is unmapped.
"We approached from the S., starting at Beaton, B.C., on the N.E. arm of the upper Arrow Lake. A road follows the Incomappleux for several miles. At the mouth of Poole Creek we left it for an old trail which prospectors have opened up. It rises with a steady, even grade to timberline at the head of the creek valley. A well equipped cabin at about 5000 ft. provided a comfortable first night's stopping point.
"On the second day (August 19th) we reached the high glaciated pass (about 8200 ft.) separating Poole and Boyd Creeks. Here we obtained our first view of the Battle Range, still 15 miles away, dominated by a magnificent, mostly snow-covered peak whose elevation must be over 10,500 ft. During the course of the trip we agreed that this peak should be given a name, preferably for some early explorer of the Selkirks: Mt. Butters seemed especially appropriate to us, and we decided to apply to the proper authorities on our return. By coincidence, this had already been done, and by the time we had returned the mountain had 1
"The steep, forested valley of Boyd Creek lay between us and another high pass leading toward the Battle Range. Here we were faced with a choice of routes. Rather than drop down and later regain about 3000 ft. elevation, we traversed a high rib of land which curved around the head of the valley. We crossed a glacier, some talus and some snow slopes. All were deceptively steep. A bad slip on my part forced us to hole up for that afternoon on a grassy camping spot at the source of the E. fork of Boyd Creek.
"Meantime, rain and stormy weather had held us up. On August 22nd we continued our traverse, this time on uncomfortably steep scrubby slopes, and finally over lovely alpine meadows. In the afternoon we reached the pass (about 7500 ft.) separating the valleys of Boyd and Westfall Creeks. From this point on, the map became highly inaccurate, and we had to trust entirely to our own observation. We could see that we had to gain the far side of the very steep Westfall Valley, where a high glacier seemed to lead to the Battle Range.
"On the 23rd we followed easy quartzite terraces northward toward the head of the Westfall. To the S.S.E. we could discern a group of fantastically sharp peaks in glaciated country. Later we discovered that these peaks are known locally as the Badshot Range, though Thorington calls them the Trout Lake Group. Their almost perpendicular ridges and pinnacles reminded us of photographs taken in the Bugaboos. The highest peak (Mt. Templeman, 10,000 ft.) appeared to have excellent climbing potentialities. Several lower peaks, of about 8500-9300 ft., closely resembled the sheer walls of Snowpatch Spire. However, our goal was the Battle Range, which lured us on to what must be equally good climbing.
"We suffered a blow when the beautiful quartzite boulevard ended in a 2000-ft. vertical drop down a rock cliff to the floor of the Westfall Valley. Careful climbing downward with heavy packs, and again sidewise on talus, brought us to the foot of the cliff. Here we intended to skirt around to the other side of the valley, still maintaining some altitude. This was a mistake. We wasted most of the afternoon on an uncomfortable traverse through thick brush and slide alder. Finally we had to descend to the creek for a camping spot.
"Here, at least, we knew that no more 'side hill slogging' lay in store for the morrow. On the 24th we ascended an abrupt 4000 ft. to the glacier, first through alders, then up a large fan-shaped basin of talus and scree. By noon we stood on the glacier, where we contemplated the magnificent peaks on the other side.
"A broad white glacier covers part of the S.W. side of Mt. Butters. This would appear to be the logical route of ascent. On the other hand, Mt. Butters' nearest westerly satellite, a wedge- shaped wall of granite, might prove to be an exceedingly difficult climb. Several other sharp peaks also seem difficult. Toward the W., the range tapers off, then rises again in a series of 8000-9000-ft. peaks immediately above the Incomappleux. The most westerly of these has been ascended.
"From where we stood it appeared as though we need only cross the glacier, find a bivouac point and prepare for an ascent of Mt. Butters on the following day. Yet during that short crossing of the glacier our view of the topography changed completely. Our hopes were dashed: 4000 ft. below us lay the deep, wild Kellie Creek Valley, with its high granite flanks, one of the most uninviting sights we had ever seen. We deeply regretted that we had not followed some other approach. The range was close; it had never before been seen by climbers from this angle, but the last obstacle—the need to descend into Kellie Valley—was too great, considering our limited supplies and the few days we had left at our disposal.
"A last attempt to traverse above the valley by crossing a high granite ridge failed. Ascending a steep granite wall, we discovered that its opposite side was overhanging and smooth, for 500 ft., with no feasible route of descent. From here (at about 8600 ft.) we looked E. to the Beaver-Duncan valley and spotted other peaks which must be included in the Battle Range. We retraced our route to Beaton in three days, after using all the time at our disposal and consuming our supplies."
1 The Geographic Board of Canada has recently conferred the name Mt. Butters on the peak of the Battle Range thought by Carpe to attain 10,750 ft.

My recent brainteaser invited you to watch this video ( CLICK HERE ) and then to tell me the names of the tune being played and of the band performing. I have now added these details to the video.
The first correct answer was received from John Whitehorn of England. The music is Bright Star Blues played by Armand J. Piron and His Orchestra.
Well done, John!

Greetings Rotarians and guests,
Welcome to this week's meeting! For those of you who are new to our club, we seek to inspire you every week with stories about education, innovation, or entrepreneurship.
I hope to see some of our members this week at the district's Avenues of Service project faire this Thursday in Santa Clara. Immediate Past President Mitty will be our club's group leader, so look for him if you are attending.

Weekly Inspiration: Helping Misfits Catch Their First Wave
Every week we start our meetings with a short video highlighting innovation, inspiration, entrepreneurship, or social change. This week we are featuring a video from Great Big Story about helping misfits catch their first wave.
After spending years teaching billionaires and celebrities to surf, Lambert Lo decided to trade in his high profile job to follow his heart. Now, as the founder of Mix Academy, Lo helps those who most need smiles catch their first wave. His students include a refugee from North Korea, a visually impaired 9-year-old, and a veteran recovering from alcoholism. His non-profit focuses on building a community by promoting surfing for all. For Lambert Lo, it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, when you're in the water, everyone is the same.
Coffee with a Rotarian
Every month our club members are paired with fellow members and special guests for an exclusive one-on-one coffee session called Coffee with a Rotarian. The idea is simple: spend 1 hour of your time during the month to get to better know a fellow Rotarian! Some of the greatest friendships were spawned that way. Members report on their coffee sessions here.
This week we feature a coffee session between two of our members, Tzviatko Chiderov and Brett Sham.
Here is what Tzviatko had to say about Brett:
Thank you, Tzviatko, for sharing!
A big shout out to Tzviatko Chiderov for continuing to chair and organize these Coffee with a Rotarian sessions! If you are not yet signed up for a Coffee Session, please email Tzviatko at [email protected] to sign up!

Happy Dollars: Do Good by Sharing Something Good
Each week we ask our members to share stories with the club and toss in a few dollars to support our efforts. The primary goal of this section is to provide a fun way of getting to know each fellow members and guests, while giving back to a good cause.
Happy dollars is an opportunity to share something positive that has happened in your life whether it is personal or business. Think of it as your opportunity to brag a little, but also put a little bit into a karma jar. The money donated through happy dollars is put to charitable use, and the message that you leave for happy dollars will be posted in our online meeting the following week for the entire week for folks to see! (Pending that it's appropriate!)
Last week's happy dollars went towards powering our club's projects and service grants.
Thank you to member Rory Olsen for his generous $15 donation to PolioPlus! Rory had this to say:
"I have had an interesting week dealing with contractors and adjustors. Still alive and doing well as can be expected under the circumstances. Please apply my gift to Polio Plus!"
Thank you to member Monique Ziesenhenne for her generous $10 donation! Monique had this to say:
"I'm happy that Brian was happy about Cal last week! Look at us now! 3-0! Woo Hoo."
Thank you to member Brian Liddicoat for his generous $15 donation! Brian had this to say:
"Boy Scout "Mountain Man Rendezvous" camp with my son this weekend. It's like a PG rated version of the Revenant: yes on hiking and woodworking, no on having to cut open animals to sleep inside to keep from freezing to death."
Thank you all for your donations last week!
This week's happy dollars donations will be going to help fund our club projects and service grants!
Happy dollars is also a great opportunity to share with the group about something good that has happened to you, while giving back to a great cause.
So what are you happy about? Share with us below, and help support one of our future leaders!
Selected Six
Every week at the bottom of our meetings, there is a comments section for members and guests to tell us what they enjoyed about the meeting or to ask questions to the speaker. We select six comments every week from last week's meeting to be featured during this week's meeting.
Here are six comments selected from last week's meeting featuring the program on Working with Students in Oakland:
Guest Richard Knaggs (South Africa) had this to say:
"It was wonderful to hear your passion Geral. We have introduced the following extension opportunities into our school day, Mobile Application Development, Robotics, Film, Animation, Hospitality, Sound Engineering etc. and it works very well in engaging our kids so that they can create things to solve/address real world challenges. Our students are doing amazing things. All the best with your truly incredible ideas and approach."
Member Ferheen Abbasi (Osaka, Japan) had this to say:
"Geral, you are the standard for what teachers should be like all around the world. Thank you for your passion and energy and drive to change the lives of students. I know it much be hard to be a role model 24/7 but those kids need you. Well, they need all of us to help guide and support them so your presentation helped reaffirm my decision to teach part-time here in Japan! Good luck with your Master's! I will be finishing mine next March so I know what you're going through right now!! Sending you all my good karma!"
Member Mark Dohn (USA) had this to say:
"Thank you, Geral. You've presented a very compelling perspective on our education system and how to reach our at-risk youth. Having worked with teachers and students in incarcerated and adjudicated programs. I agree that creating the environment where students in survival mode feel comfortable and know that taking a risk is ok. I'd love to hear more about your program."
Member Brian Liddicoat (California, USA) had this to say:
"If you want to "work for social justice": do what this guy's doing. Geral, you're doing a lot more good in the world than I am, that's for sure. Need to get off my butt and start doing more. And sending you good wishes for that Masters degree!"
Guest Sean Straker (Australia) had this to say:
"Some really good points in Geral Lowe's presentation. With school students tending to be more focused with online learning and communication, he seems to go the opposite and focuses greatly on face-to-face communication – ie: parents attending the school instead of calling, visiting their home, acting as a role model even outside of school hours and courting. All to better understand each individual student and tailor the requirements to meet their specific needs. Also agreed with viewing students as citizens and valuable members of their community who later give back with their success and life experiences."
Member Rushton Hurley (California, USA) had this to say:
"What would I fill a vending machine with? Messages of encouragement might be good! As for that Rotary video, I think that last face belongs to Benjamin Rasmus, one of our speakers from the third week of our club's existence! Find it here: https://www.siliconvalleyro… Geral, thanks for your message, and good luck with that final class for your master's degree! Your memory of Ms. Gaines (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly) is a compelling example of the power of a dedicated to teacher to change lives. The story of visiting the young man from the drug-infested home was heartbreaking in its circumstances, but inspiring in his turnaround and success. Keep telling those stories!"
Be sure to leave a comment at the end of this week's meeting after you watch the program below, and perhaps you'll see your comment featured next week!
Program: The Glass Giving Project
Every week we bring to you a new program on innovation, education, technology, and humanitarian service. This week our guest speakers are Rebecca Barley and Caroline Dobson on their Glass Giving Project!

It's been over a year since I've posted here. I thought this might be a perfect spot to keep a journal about my new endeavor this year--reading the Bible in one year. We are participating in this as a church using the God Sightings One Year Bible in the New Living Translation. I'm hoping that the easier translation will make it easier for me (and all of us) to keep up with the readings.
I know this will be a rewarding experience...I just hope I can do it!

Never made a salad with raw corn before, so I thought I'd give it a try, since we're at the height of the corn season.
2 ears of corn
2 medium heirloom tomatoes
3 small sweet red peppers
2 green onions
1 bunch of cilantro
salt and black pepper
lots of Aleppo pepper
2 tablespoons of yogurt
a lot of olive oil
It was good, especially since there was gorgeous home-made bread to accompany it. But did the corn shine? I dunno. I must admit I don't get this American thing about fresh sweet corn. Must be a cultural difference. It's sweet alright, too sweet as far as I'm concerned, and nothing more to it than the sweetness, really.

Okay, first, a few things about me. My name is Chris K, I've been teaching myself to draw for a few years now, starting with a copy of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain that I got from my brother. After lots of drawing from the assignments in the book and other suggested exercises, in February I started a series of still life drawings of teddy bears and other stuffed animals. And this weekend, I decided to start an art blog to show some of my stuff and talk about drawing.
I'm not going to be exclusive to only show teddy bear stuff here, but I thought it was a fun name for the blog.
So, here's a portrait of Basil, a bear that I've known for many decades at this point. I did this yesterday, mostly in various pencil weights, with colored pencil for the blue decoration pinned to his chest: Continue reading

It appears that the legacy in entertainment did not end with Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls.
His son seems to have naturally fell into entertainment. The only difference is that his son has opted to bypass the music world for Hollywood.
Being the son of two of the Hip Hop world's finest, Faith Evans and B.I.G., he had to be destined for something larger than life. (more…)

Well it's still not officially official: Snooki is wearing what looks like an engagement ring and is pretty darn likely pregnant with Jionni's baby. But what would a pregnancy and engagement mean for her Jersey Shore spinoff with JWoww? They're moving into their new HQ, a former firehouse, as we speak. The show will go on, pregnancy or no pregnancy, no doubt about that. But what kind of a show will it be?
One thing is for sure -- I don't think we're up for the usual Jersey Shore antics this time around. Things are going to be different with Snooki and friends.
First of all, the pregnancy -- IF she's really pregnant: Wow would that change Snooki's daily routine! Goodbye wild times. No more parties, drinking, and smooshing with anyone but Jionni, right? At least we hope so. Even her most die-hard fans wouldn't want to see her endanger the health of her unborn child.
I can just see Snooki staying at home with her pickles, swollen feet propped up in fuzzy slippers, while JWoww heads out for another night on the town. Sad Face! You know what? JWoww should just get pregnant, too!
And what about the engagement? Should Snooki even get married? Even if Snooki is engaged (and just hasn't told us yet), she can still change her mind! She could go back and forth -- I'm not ready, I'm still attracted to Vinny. Or she could go through with it and the show becomes all about wedding planning. Which would be crazy! Can you imagine what a Jersey Shore wedding would look like? Oh the meatballs. Not to mention, plan on at least one girlfight between Snooki and her best friend, suddenly feeling lost and ignored with all the wedding froof. And you know she'll hate her bridesmaid dress!
Oh please let it all be true! I don't know if I could handle the disappointment if it turns out no one is pregnant, Snooki isn't engaged, and we're just in for Sh'more of the same.
Do you think Snooki's spinoff would be better if she were pregnant?

15 Make-Or-Break Ways Your Self Esteem Affects Your Relationship
Here's the damage.
When you're in a long-term relationship, it's easy for your self-esteem to suffer. After all, it's probably been some time since you've gotten all gussied up for the sake of attracting the opposite sex.
But did you know that low self-esteem can actually harm your relationship? Fortunately, the converse is true as well; self-confidence can enable your relationship to thrive.
Here are 15 ways how you feel about yourself affects your relationships:
1. Low self-confidence is limiting.
If your self-confidence is too low, you will be unable to ask for what you want or set limits on what you don't want.
2. Self-confidence is empowering.
Becoming self-confident allows you to be assertive, ask for what you want and set limits on what you don't want. That includes asking for a commitment if that's what you're after!
3. Low self-esteem is stressful.
When your self-esteem is not high enough, you'll be too anxious to please and you'll hide your own thoughts and feelings to avoid disagreements. Your partner may not know who you really are, and, as a result, you'll be unable to resolve interpersonal conflicts.

Real estate agents across Martha's Vineyard put on their poker faces yesterday when asked to comment on rumors that provocative pop queen Lady Gaga is on the verge of buying a home on the island.
Real estate agents across Martha's Vineyard put on their poker faces yesterday when asked to comment on rumors that provocative pop queen Lady Gaga is on the verge of buying a home on the island.
A half-dozen brokers yesterday either declined to comment or said they had heard nothing about the supposedly pending sale.
The latest round of rumors began earlier this week when Women's Wear Daily reported that Lady Gaga is "in the process" of buying a Martha's Vineyard home but offered scant detail about the purported purchase.
How seriously these reports can be taken is an open question. Earlier this summer, rumors swirled that the star was ready to buy property in the Hamptons; on Tuesday, websites and blogs began reporting that she has her sights set on a castle in the north of England or Scotland.
Doug Reece, owner of a RE/MAX brokerage in Vineyard Haven, said he is not involved in the alleged island transaction and does not know who might be. In fact, when notable people buy property on the island it is rare for any advance details to make their way to anyone other than the agent handling the deal, he said.
"It's usually kept under wraps pretty well until the transaction is completed," he said.
Any such sales are likely to be done in the name of a corporation, further obscuring the celebrity involvement in the transaction.
After a sale to a well-known person, however, word sometimes gets out and makes its way around Martha's Vineyard quite quickly, Reece said.
"It's a small island," he said.
Chappaquiddick or Chilmark might be appropriate locations for a star of Lady Gaga's notoriety to house-hunt, he suggested. She would probably want "something waterfront, something secluded, something with some glitz and something with some fabulous views," he said.
And, he added, passing on the thoughts of his 13-year-old daughter, Lady Gaga would certainly need "a property with personality."

The joys of having grandparents at home
Our grandparents give us joy in many aspects and fill our life with different colors. They love us and take trouble for us in various matters. I love having grandparents at home because they take care in the absence of our parents.
Grandparents love their grandchildren dearly and show are sometimes over compassionate. When the parents reprimand their children for wrong actions, the grandparents end the ordeal. They need someone who loves them genuinely and children are always innocent to share their joys and sadness. The children never feel lonely if grandparents accompany them at every point of life when parents are busy.
My grandparents at home
My parents always respect the elders at home and even outdoors. They always advice us that we should also respect the elders because they are wiser than us. My grandparents lived in a lonely area in a village where even proper water facility was not available and often power failure took place. So, my parents decided to bring them to our place so that proper we can take proper care of them.
Living happily with grandparents
Now, my grandparents live with us and we all are living happily in our home. Grandma always helps my mother in the kitchen and during the early morning hours, she even prepares breakfast for us. She always prepares us our favorite food and packs lunch boxes for our school. Daily, she prepares variety of food for us that we love to eat in school. My parents both go out to work and hence when I return home, my grandparents accompany us. Grandpa takes us to a park nearby and carefully supervises us when we play slides, swings or see saws. He even plays catch ball with us so that it is a good exercise to our body and mind.
Grandparents as friends
When my grandparents did not live with us, we felt lonely as everybody in our apartment are always busy with their household chores. So, I thought that somebody should live with us who always interacts with us and tells us some interesting facts and stories. So, my grandparents are always chatting with us and we really become engrossed when we listen to their stories.
The joys that our grandparents give us
Grandma is an expert cook and she has cooked many of my favorite dishes such as idlis, dosas, appam, putt, shakre pongal, etc. On every Sunday, mother and my grandmother are able to cook special food for us. My grandparents and parents always love harmoniously and never fight with each other. Even if they are not in agreement with each other for certain matters, they sit down and patiently discuss certain issues. So, we always feel peaceful living in our house. Sometimes I fight with my younger sister and when my parents are not at home, my grandparents solve our problems by interacting properly with both of us. Whenever they bring any fruit from the market, my grandma divided them equally and shares with us.
Special incidences with grandparents
Last time, when my parents were away for a wedding in Delhi, I stayed with my grandparents for three or four days. My grandparents took special care of us and they even dressed a bandage around my knees when I fell down. My sister had a toothache and they even applied a gel to the tooth. So, from that day onward I became even closer to them.


text: I wanted to know where the locals like to go. I was directed to Johnson Beach, east of the downtown and just a 5-minute drive from Barrie's main beach, Centennial Beach. A large wooden staircase leads to this cute and tiny beach (which includes change rooms and bathrooms). From its shore, you can see Centennial Park to the far right. There's a flat finely crushed stone trail passing right between the parking lot and the entrance to this beach. It leads to downtown Heritage Park, 3 kms away, and beyond. A perfect starting point for a family biking ride.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Shares of large telecommunications equipment makers edged higher Monday, but smaller manufacturers retreated and phone carriers plunged.
By day end, the American Stock Exchange's Networking Index, which comprises the larger equipment makers, rose 0.2 percent.
Lucent Technologies (LU), Nokia (NOK), Ericsson (ERICY), Nortel Networks (NT) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) all advanced. Ciena (CIEN) and Tellabs (TLAB) slipped.
The Nasdaq Telecommunications Index, meanwhile, fell back 0.3 percent. The index comprises newer, upstart manufacturers.
On the upside, California Amplifier (CAMP) led the way with a 18 percent gain. Shares rose 7 5/8 to 50 9/16. The company continued to bounce back from sharp losses last week triggered by false rumors that it would miss earnings targets for the second quarter.
One of the biggest losers: Redback Networks (RBAK), which declined 13 to 142. Redback announced that certain holders of the company's 5 percent convertible subordinated notes may choose to resell the securities.
Hosting stocks draw scrutiny
The Standard & Poor's Communications Services Index, which represents the big phone companies, also retreated, sliding 2.7 percent. That was the worst loss among all the major S&P indexes.
Among the big local carriers, Verizon Communications (VZ) was flat, while BellSouth (BLS) dropped 1 1/16 to 39 7/8 and SBC Communications (SBC) fell 2 1/16 to 43 5/16.
In the long-distance sector, most large and mid-size carriers sustained losses.
The only two carriers to avoid the carnage: AT&T (T), up 5/16 to 33 5/16, and Williams Communications (WCG), which rose 5/8 to 31 7/8.
Elsewhere, Sprint (FON) decreased 3.4 percent to 48 5/16 and WorldCom (WCOM) declined 5.5 percent to 46 1/2.
Global Crossing (GBLX) dropped 2 to 31 in the aftermath of a Financial Times report that the company broke off talks with Exodus Communications on the sale of its web-hosting business. The two companies could not agree on a price for Global Crossing's unit.
Shares of Digex (DIGX), another web-hosting company, shot up 19 percent to 94 amid rumors that Exodus might pursue that company next. Exodus (EXDS) slipped 3 1/2 to 51 3/4.
The satellite and wireless sectors were mixed.

All types of scans
At Scanning Clinic we perform scans already from week 7 + 0 and until the time of birth. The type of scan you have to choose depends entirely on your pregnancy and your needs and wishes for the scan. At the Scanning Clinic we perform both Type I and Type II scans. If you want a systematic review of the child for malformations such as developmental defects in the skull, brain, spine, heart, abdominal wall, stomach ache, kidneys, bladder, arms and legs, it is a type II scan that you have to choose. On the other hand, if there is more desire to see, for example, the first heartbeat, see gender or see nice 3D images, you can choose a type I scan, where we do not go into the depth of malformation scanning.

8-step At-home Facial Massage
Keep your skin looking fresh and healthy with this 8-step at-home face massage.
Looking for a way to make your skin look vibrant and clear that doesn't require a pricey trip to the salon? Try facial massage! You can do it at home and on your schedule.
It can be done in the morning with your favourite cleansing fluid or in the evening using a moisturizer or serum.
1. Start with a clean face. Using a facial cleansing liquid, moisturizer or massage oil, add a few drops on your fingertips. The fluid will make the surface slippery. You don't want to pull the skin, for this can be damaging. Skim your fingertips across it. Add more fluid as needed.
2. Starting at your nose, with your fingertips spread fluid across your cheeks outward to your ears. Move fingers down the sides of the face and sides of the neck, stopping at your collarbone. Repeat five to 10 times.
3. Moving to your jawline, place fingertips on your chin and stroke them across the jaw to the ears. Use firm, even pressure. This helps reduce fluid retention along the jaw and firm the line. Repeat five to 10 times.
4. Add a few drops of fluid to the back of your hands. Place them under the jawbone and sweep them outward toward the ears in long strokes. Repeat five to 10 times.
5. With both hands, gently stroke the neck downward. Start at the chin and move outward to the sides of the neck. Repeat five to 10 times. Reverse the motion, stroking upward. Repeat five to 10 times.
6. Place index and middle fingers above the lips under the nose. Make small circles moving to the corners of the mouth and down to the chin. This helps with lines along the upper lips, sides of the mouth and nasal fold. Repeat five to 10 times.
7. For the forehead, place fingertips between the brows. Make small circles to help soften those pesky lines between the brows. Repeat five to 10 times.
8. Sweep your fingertips across the entire forehead toward the temples. Then sweep them upward from the brows, moving along their length to the hairline. Repeat five to 10 times.
Work facial massage into your beauty regime. Take five minutes if you're in a hurry or a little longer for a relaxing indulgence. Your skin will be glowing and youthful-looking.
