1. What is the easiest way to return to the website in the future?
Go to the home page of RECK. Put your mouse on the page and right click. Click on "Create Shortcut" on the menu, then click "Yes." This will put a shortcut icon on your computer desktop.
2. Are there any limits to how often we can use Precinct 4 buses for activities?
Yes. There are over three hundred senior groups competing to use Precinct 4 buses. We are restricted to one bus per event, and availability will determine the total number of the buses RECK will receive each year. Bus schedules are made twice each year. In March, Precinct 4 will schedule buses for May through October and in September, November through April. This is one reason why RECK cannot schedule all events requiring a bus many months in advance.
For more information regarding Precinct 4 Fun4Seniors programs, click here.
3. Can I start a new Special Interest Group for people who want to do things as a group? For example, go sailing in Galveston, play poker, or start a quilting bee.
Prepare and mail special interest proposals to the RECK secretary. The secretary will then present the proposal to the Board for consideration. It is assumed the person making the request will be willing to accept the leadership position for that Special Interest Group.
4. Does RECK post a public list of members with personal data?
After extensive considerations regarding the merits of publishing a membership list versus the right to privacy, the Board has decided not to publish a RECK membership list on the RECK website.
5. What are the dues used for?
Christmas Dinner Dance venue and the entertainer, new member/host appreciation dinner, decoration/poinsettias, dinners for uncomped Precint 4 drivers, website domain and webmaster, donation to the First United Methodist Church for use of their parking lot and donation to Precinct 4.

SCANA's board of directors has historically announced their first-quarter dividend payment to shareholders each year on or about Feb. 20. This means that in about a week, they will probably announce plans to funnel to their shareholders 78 percent of the revenues ($87.5 million) they were permitted to collect from you under the Base Load Review Act in the 90 days since they last declared dividends in October.
A quick primer on dividends: Paying dividends to shareholders is a completely voluntary act by a company. SCANA can do whatever it wants with its money: pay dividends, paint the executive lunch room, contribute to lawmakers' campaigns, hire lobbyists, give refunds to customers, etc. Sky's the limit!
Lots of great and not-so-great companies don't pay any dividends. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is one of the former. Dividends are a way to encourage investment in slower-growing companies (like an electric utility) versus faster-growing companies (like Google or Facebook). They are a way to share the bounty of excess returns (returns in excess of the cost of creating those returns: cost of capital, goods and labor) with shareholders.
The math looks like this: SCANA collects $1,230,000 a day in BLRA revenues from you. It pays out $970,000 a day in dividends to its lucky shareholders. So that leaves $260,000 a day it uses for other corporate purposes (some of which are listed above). SCANA says it needs this $260,000 per diem or it will go bankrupt, ostensibly because it won't be able to pay interest charges on its debt.
Mismanaged companies cannot pay dividends - for long.
There is insurmountable, widely reported evidence in this newspaper and others that SCANA executives hid qualified, critical third-party analysis of how bad things were going at V.C. Summer from its regulators. For years. Time after time, it made decisions that represent the height of imprudent-ness. For this, Wall Street praised it.
The simple, ugly fact is that SCANA is gouging its customers solely to fund its dividend and support the price of its stock. It is rewarding its shareholders in spite of management non-performance. "Oh," you say, "Westinghouse dropped the ball and the AP1000 reactors never had a chance since their drawings were not complete. And besides unlicensed engineers were approving drawings and generally mucking things up for everybody."
"Oh," I say then how can the Chinese possibly be loading fuel into their four AP1000s as you read this? I am sure they will be blamed for stealing or bribing Westinghouse for the "real" plans to build the reactors. The reality is that really, really bad things happen to non-performing executives in China. In the U.S., not so much. I actually met with SCANA's Steve Byrne, Jeff Archie, Ron Dollens and the rest of their team (all good guys - you'd want to grab lunch or a beer with any of them) in 2012 just before they left to tour the Chinese AP1000s. I wonder what they learned?
The $87.5 million question is this: is SCANA's board so shameless that it will once again shower its shareholders with a dividend that is completely funded by revenues from a bungled project? Maybe you can speak with its chairman Maybank Hagood just down the road in North Charleston. He won't take my call, but maybe he will take yours: (800) 922-2287.
The path forward should be: sell off non-core assets (i.e. natural gas distribution operations in North Carolina and Georgia, a fancy HQ in Cayce complete with fake rock-strewn streams, Pine Island and other peripheral property) to pay off the nuclear debt. SCANA would become a smaller, less-indebted, non-dividend-paying company. One that wouldn't be able to afford to charter a plane for a celebratory flight up to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in D.C. to get a piece of paper when a postage stamp would suffice. But still a South Carolina company.

"Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end" ~ Daisaku Ikeda
There's one thing I've learned in life it's that people don't act and situations don't happen the way I want or expect them to. Every time I expect people to act or not act a certain way I am almost always disappointed, rarely am I pleasantly surprised. The same is true for situations. If you were to ask me which hurts more(people or situations), I'd have a hard time deciding.
It's these kind of things that can lead to resentments if we don't deal with them appropriately. A resentment is a feeling of deep, bitter anger and/or ill-will. Although they actually don't weigh anything, resentments can weigh heavy on the heart. They can also eat away at us and kill us slowly, rather our insides, like a slow poison.
It's been, and still is some days, a struggle to remind myself of the one thing that counteracts the poison of resentment – knowing that I am powerless, I have no control, over other people or situations. That's not to say that I'm totally powerless. My power lies in how I act, react, and respond(or not in some cases) to what happens.
I have 2 choices; 1) I can stomp around, kicking things and wailing, "It's just not fair!!" or 2) pull up my big girl panties and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Do I still have temper tantrums like a little child? Of course I do, just not as bad or as long as I used to.
Another thing that really helps is reminding myself that my Higher Power puts people in or takes them out of my life and puts me in situations or takes me out of them for a reason. Why does He do this? He does it to guide me in the right direction or steer me away from a collision course with disaster.
It's very difficult to see it when I'm in the thick of it but if I keep hanging on to the faith, just a bit longer, I can look back and see what would've happened if this or that did/didn't happened. It's also very helpful to recite and break down the Serenity Prayer line by line. I ask myself who and what do I have control over? What can I change? In doing this I benefit in 2 ways; 1) my wobbly faith in Him grows stronger and 2) I can stop a resentment from brewing and festering inside me.
Thought for the day: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

Immaterial benefits
- Challenges. Our tech ambitions don't lay in easy-level implementations or modifications. We aim high and higher, i.e. when you might otherwise start to get too comfortable elsewhere, with us you'd probably have just moved to a next puzzle
- Room to grow. You get all the responsibility you want to and are ready to handle.. and can pull off.
- A possibility to hone your skills to the max and beyond. We cherish learning.
- A possibility to extend your knowhow to new domains. We take regularly, preferably weekly, time to learn and to play with new (or old) things. Of your own choice and interest.
- A work role tailored to you. People do things, roles don't. At the end of the day your work role will be the one you are most interested in and the one that with you can bring most value to colleagues and to the company. And it can change during the ride, if it should be so. As it probably will.
- Flexibility. As much as you need and as much you can handle without letting the others down.
- Freedom. You can work from the office or from home, early in the morning or late in the evening, four days a week or full week or however. As long it works out with rest of the team, i.e. your doings don't negatively affect others.
Material benefits
- Very flat organization. We also kinda hate meetings for meeting's sake.
- A mentor to help you get started and up to full speed
- Life outside work (or a possibility for it). We believe a normal amount of working hours should be enough to make a difference.
- Some perks: office at the very center of Helsinki, monthly public transportation ticket, home internet, mobile phone bill will be taken care of, some extra insurances covering spare-time incidents, occupational healthcare at Terveystalo, dental services, sports vouchers, a possibility to get luncheon vouchers etc.
- Good tools: laptop & phone & headphones of your own choice
- A competitive paycheck every month. We are not going broke anytime soon as we are cashflow positive with long partnership deals in place & without outside funding (we're growing too).
- Employee dividends program. Every year - if it has been a profitable one, as it has been every year to this date - a good chunk of the profit, without a max capping limit, will be shared to employees. If the company succeeds, everybody making it will.
- Psychological safety. We are very stable from the financial point of view, but we think we are that from the mental side as well. Our aim is to disagree as strongly with these statements as possible. We help each others, learn from our mistakes, and have room to grow.

4pm, Saturday 23 April
@ Socialist Centre, 86 Princes Street,
Onehunga, Auckland
(followed by shared food and drink)
Left unity in Aotearoa - it's necessary, and it should be possible. And it's the title of an open forum at Socialist Worker's upcoming national conference.
We're inviting all leftists who would like to discuss prospects and strategies for achieving greater left unity in this country, both now and in the future.
There's lots of common ground between outward looking leftists in New Zealand. And there's growing awareness that the goal of challenging the neo-liberal status quo requires the left to work more closely together.
As the crisis points of global capitalism continue to impact on the material and political situation in New Zealand, then so will there be challenges and opportunities for the left. We need to be prepared with realistic strategies and an organisational capacity which will enable us to connect with masses of grassroots people.
We hope you can make it to this meeting. Please bring your ideas on how we can achieve greater left unity in Aotearoa. Everyone will have an opportunity to speak.
Please forward this email to your own networks and post on websites.
In solidarity,
Vaughan Gunson
Socialist Worker national chair
(on behalf of Socialist Worker's central committee)

Fiber / Synthetic Rope
It should not be rubbed over, sandy & dusty surface.
It should not be used at sharp edge .
It should be kept away from corrosive chemicals & hot surfaces.
If it becomes wet, it should be dried before storing.
It is better to roll in big circle and keep in hanging condition.
Shall be maintained away from the sparks and other fire sources.
Inspection of Synthetic Rope
If the damage of rope is more then 5%, It should be removed from rigging use.
Dust in side the strands
There should not be any spiral in string.
If manila rope is dried and it's fibers are became brittle.
Inspection of Synthetic Rope
Effect of acid, alkali or any other chemical.
For internal inspection rope strings to be opened little and to be checked following condition.
No damage of inner fiber
the inner surface of rope should shine as new.
If any dust particles like wood are found in-side the rope it means rope got rubbed inside. In all above condition the rope should be removed from use.
Self Inspection Guidelines:
Careful and frequent inspection of rope and a log of the length of time and conditions of use reflect prudent safety management.
Damaged ropes are dangerous. General - for all ropes
Bulk of surface yarns or strands reduced by 50% or more for a linear distance equal to 4d or more.
Cut strands, yarns or filaments.
Diameter reduced by 5% over new.
Exposure to excess temperature as specified for type of fiber.
Burns or melting visible for a length of over four rope diameters.
Self Inspection Guidelines:
Abrasion on inside radius of eye.
Rust on nylon. (Try cleaning)
Oil and grease. (Try cleaning)
Heavy surface fuzz progressive.
Rope used on or with sheaves, bollards, chocks or fairleads where the bending radius is less than 8 to 1.
For internal inspection rope strings to be opened little and to be checked following condition.
No damage of inner fiber
the inner surface of rope should shine as new.
If any dust particles like wood are found in-side the rope it means rope got rubbed inside. In all above condition the rope should be removed from use.
Wire Rope
There are three main factor to check the construction of wire rope.
The number of wire in each strand.
The number of strands in rope
The direction in which the wire and strands spiral or lay in the rope.
Wire are denoted as the 6X7 or 6X19 to denote the type of core. 6X7 means, the rope has 6 strand and 7 wires in each strand.
Type of Lay
When the wires and strands spiral in opposite direction, it is called as Ordinary lay and if the direction are same it is called as Lang's lay.
In both Ordinary and Lang's lay, when the stand spiral to the left, it is left hand lay and when the spiral is right, it is right hand lay.
To avoid twist and rotation in load, Non Rotating rope are made. In this construction the Both the lang's lay and Ordinary lay are used. If the inner rope is left hand lang's lay the outer covering rope will be in the right hand ordinary lay.
Inspection of wire rope
Wire rope should be inspected periodically to decide
Where the rope condition present any possible failure.
Where the rope will be safe until the next inspection.
While taking out rope from new roll , it should be make sure the no damage to outer ropes.
If the the rope is stored more then the three month, then also wire should be inspected before putting in use.
The rope wire must be replaced if
Broken wire more then 5% or more.
Three or more broken wire in one rope lay.
One or more broken wires near the attached fitting.
Any evidence of wire beaks in valleys between the strands.
Wear .
Wire rope must be replaced if the diameter of the rope reduced by more then
1 mm for up to 19 mm diameter rope.
1.5 mm for diameter of 22-28 mm rope.
2 mm for rope more then 28 mm diameter rope.
Correct lubrication of wire rope is necessary to ensure long life and good service.
The wire should be kept in properly rolled condition to avoid kinking and other damage.
The way to fix the splicing clamps
The U bolt should be fixed at the dead or short end of the wire rope while making eye.
Sling required more attention than wire ropes, since they are more likely to be subjected to severe wear , abrasion, impact loading, crushing, kinking and over loading.

Far From The Diva
HIM: I got up at 4:00 a.m. went for a bike ride, then went surfing… and you're still asleep.
ME: I worked until 2:00 a.m. and it's 8:00 a.m.
HIM: So wake up. You know what I love?
ME: Obviously, mornings,
HIM: No. My American History class.
ME: American History… could bore an Oak Tree to death.
HIM: Do you know who Lord Baltimore was.
ME: Yeah, some guy they named a cake after.
HIM: Not to mention the CITY of Baltimore.
ME: Yeah, Baltimore's very ghetto, but the soft-shelled crabs are good.
HIM: You relate everything to food.
ME: Look at me, this is surprising to you?
HIM: Do you know the story behind Baltimore?
ME: No, and I don't care. Did you know the director of my movie didn't know what barely ambulatory meant?
HIM: Seriously?
ME: Seriously, and he thinks he has a good vocabulary, not to mention he's a college grad.
HIM: How can a college grad not know what barely ambulatory meant?
ME: He went to USC.
HIM: You were just dying to tell me that weren't you?
ME: Of course. But I don't believe him.
HIM: Huh?
ME: Come on. He has an excellent vocabulary and he's very intelligent. There's NO way he didn't know what barely ambulatory meant. His other mother is a nurse, and I'm a doctor. Now how can you have two mothers who are medical professionals and not know what barely ambulatory means.
HIM: I have a better question. How can you have two mothers and one of them be a man?
ME: Oh grow up. When I first became his mother I wasn't a man.
HIM: You were always a man.
ME: Would you stop bothering me with these petty points. Can't you see I'm in crisis here.
HIM: I can see a few crises here. Which one are we talking about.
ME: My child. told me he didn't know non ambulatory meant.
HIM: Why do you think he told you that?
ME: Because he was making a point that I should simplify the language in the script. He was being devious.
HIM: Perhaps, but he's right. And maybe he really didn't know.
ME: He is right, but that's not the point. And of course he knew he's my child. I'm his black mother.
HIM: You and your relationships… beyond weird.
ME: People who live in glass houses.
HIM: Don't bring me into this. I say two bad words 24 years ago.. and I'm doomed for life.
ME: What two bad words?
HIM: I do.
ME: Can't you see I have a problem here. My child is devious. It's bad enough that he's right.. but being devious…
HIM: Of course he's devious… the director NEVER falls far from the diva.

In May 2006, me and two other correspondents took off in a Navy Chetak off INS Viraat out at sea, circuited low over the ocean and landed at the helo landing area of INS Kunjali. This particular stretch is now being carved out into a new, exclusive helicopter base, the Navy's first.
The Indian Navy will be commissioning this helicopter base, titled INS Shikra on January 22. A commissioning ceremony is planned at Mumbai to usher in the first helicopter base. The air station, will be commissioned by the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS) and Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee (COSC), Admiral Sureesh Mehta. Captain Philipose G Pynumootil is the first Commanding Officer of INS Shikra and will read out the Commissioning Warrant.
The air station, which first commenced air operation in 1964 with setting up of a small Helicopter Maintenance Unit (HMU), today provides maintenance and flying support to a diverse range of helicopters operating from naval ships at Mumbai. Operations from here include SeaKing, Kamov-28, Kamov-31 and Chetak helicopters. The station also provides Air Traffic Control services to all civil and military helicopters operating in South Mumbai.
The air station will support ship-borne helicopters of the Western Fleet and their maintenance and training requirements. In addition, the proximity of the air station to Mumbai High and Saurashtra region on the West Coast, makes it the preferred site to provide effective air support for protection and security of national assets at short notice.
Shikra, after which the Air Station is being named, is a small aggressive raptor with short broad wings and tall tail adapted for manoeuvrability, agility and speed. The crest of the air station depicts a bolt of lightning in the talons of a Shikra, symbolising the strike power of the aircraft. The red and grey body depicts spirit of the men of "blood and steel" who man the unit and constantly strive for excellence.
LiveFist wishes the new base godspeed.

Cutting your hair will make it thicker.
It is not true. Actually cutting your hair may make it appear thicker due to the removal of split ends and added volume, your hair will not become thicker. Once it grows back, it will appear as it did before.
By cutting hair it only appears thicker. Infact cutting does not help to prevent hair loss.

Jessica McClintock Taffeta Prom Dress
You might be dubious about wearing a dress with a color scheme seemingly inspired by Christmas. The detail on this gorgeous Jessica McClintock taffeta dress may just change your mind, though. A rich, almost crepe-like material in a deep olive hue sets the tone for a delicate burgundy ribbon pattern that hypnotically winds its way around and down the dress.
Maybe you're sold on the colors, but you're eyeing that questionably wide bow that ties, birthday present-style, around the large waistband. Appreciate that it cinches the dress in just the right spot, though, and allows the pattern to be just slightly broken up. That allows the shoulder-baring top half to stand apart. It's true that short prom dresses can be trashy at times, but the bottom half of this dress easily solidifies its elegance and class. A frothy, sheer tulle petticoat peeks adorably out from beneath the slightly flared skirt, lending the dress its harmonious finish.
It's rare to find a dress that works as beautifully with deeper tones and golden tans as well as this does. The combination of unstoppable shine and vivid color make it the perfect foil for bronzed, summer-ready skin! Keep things gleaming by pairing this with strappy gold heels and jewelry in similar hues. Your accessories should be minimal; the ribbon décor on the dress does all the work for you!

The recent sunny weather has brought lots of butterflies - an increase in Graylings, first Gatekeepers and Essex as well as Small Skippers.
Essex Skipper on Sea Holly
Sandwich, Common and Little Tern chicks are now on the wing. Juvenile Sandwich Terns have been seen fishing. There are also a number of chicks of all species that have yet to take their first flight, such as the Common Tern chick below:
These chicks are still very vulnerable to predation, so please continue to keep your distance from fenced nesting areas. The dog restrictions (no dogs allowed on the Point except for around the Lifeboat House if on a lead) are still in place until mid-August for this reason.
Little Tern chick hatched yesterday (photographed under licence)
Spot the chick (click to enlarge)
We're happy to see our breeding birds feeding well. Terns are enjoying good fishing close to the colony, with feeding 'frenzies' most days. Black Headed Gulls are feasting on a recent spate of freshly hatching insects (often referred to simply as a 'hatch') giving both adults and juveniles an abundance of food.
'Mini' hatch with gulls gathering to feed
In migrant bird news, Starlings have regularly been present in strong numbers over the past couple of weeks, with over 200 seen today in different groups. We have been enjoying the company of a Black Redstart that appears to have taken a liking to the Lifeboat House and garden area, as it has been around for just under a fortnight with only a couple of days where it was not sighted. Arctic Skuas are now regularly being seen harassing terns for their fish, as they survive by stealing fish from other birds (known as kleptoparasitism). They are amazing birds to watch on the wing, very acrobatic, and apparently were the inspiration behind the British Fleet Air Arm's first naval dive-bomber, the Blackburn Skua (see Arkive.com).
Our latest low-tide seal count on 13th July gave 449 Grey Seals and 38 Common Seals hauled out on the sands.
And to finish with, our latest guess the legs:

In Loving Memory Of Prissy Dressler
Written by Consta Jenkins
Reprinted by permission of the author
Rainbow Bridge was a flurry of activity. Kiddens were lining up for their tummy rubs and active games of chase a chirp were in progress. Laughter rang through the heavens as the angels were delighted by the antics of the kiddens. Peepers had discovered that angel robes and toes were as much fun as kidden tails. Eatbugs was panting, happily, with exertion as he took a break from chasing the chirp on a stick. Spunkie settled in beside him. "How do you like this new development?", she asked, her fur resplendent from it's brushing.
"It's wonderful" huffed Eatbugs trying to catch his breath, "but nobody can swing a chirp like my Mommy Consta".
Spunkie nodded, "But it IS nice until they get here". Eatbugs nodded.
The Lady Virginia approached them and settled herself in to groom her fur. She looked at Eatbugs with an intensity that made him squirm. Her eyes were like pools of golden water, seemingly without bottom. He looked away from her stare and thought for a moment he'd done something wrong. He was about to ask when he felt a tingling in his whiskers. He turned an ear to the wind and listened intently. Faintly he heard the first strains of the Welcoming Song. He looked up at Virginia and she nodded sadly. "What's wrong?" asked Spunkie.
"Another comes" said Eatbugs quietly.
Spunkie bowed her head.
A short distance away a kidden was squirming delightedly under a tummy rub when she suddenly jumped up. Her fur bristled and her whiskers ached. She shook her head and stood for a second before she understood. She let out a wail. "Momma, momma" said her peepers as the came running, "What's wrong, momma?" Miss Priss gently licked her babies and quietly explained.
"Oh momma" they cried.
"It will be all right. We will be here for her. Come, let's go to greet our sister". She gathered up her babies and joined Eatbugs and the others as they journeyed to the Gate.
When they arrived at the Gate, Miss Priss and her peepers went to the front. Eatbugs and the others settled in behind. He turned to speak to Lady Virginia when he noticed hundreds of kiddens sitting quietly in a circle around the company. There were kiddens of all colors and sizes. There was the little tabby who'd come a few days ago, still looking thin, but happy. Eatbugs looked up at Lady Virginia with a questioning stare. "They are the strays, little one. The kiddens who lived their lives unloved by humans".
"Is the new kidden a stray?"
"No. She found a human to love. They come to greet her, but they also come for a higher purpose. They come to give honor to a human who opened her heart to their sisters and who grieves for the lose of the one she found too late."
Eatbugs understood.
The flash of blue light came and the kiddens stepped forward to meet Prissy. Miss Priss and her peepers purred loudly and washed her face. The company gave her greetings. As they led her into her new home, Eatbugs stayed behind watching the unmoving strays. At first it was too faint to hear, but slowly their song lifted itself on the wind. It whirled and danced it's way to earth and to the heart of a human. "We love you".
As she reached the gate Prissy raised her head to listen, smiled and joined the singing.

Research in Industrial Music is often performed through deep distortion and heavy processing of sounds which sometimes lead to inconsistency, lack of harmonics and general dullness: characteristics that make the sound itself easily masked in the mix by other, more powerful, instruments. Here a good reverb can help the sound be perceived again.
The other employment is quite the reverse process, by reverberating some sound and adding distortion afterwards it's possible to dirty up material otherwise too clean for the Industrial freaks.
Personally I am using both analog and VST reverb units because for an effect of such importance I need a choice as wide as possible.
As outboard I got an oldschool ALT Multiverb LTX:
which has the harsh sound I am looking for. It works with just presets but once found the good ones it's ready to rock. Indeed it's connected right after a Spring Reverb, developing a nice metallic sound.
On the ITB side I've tried thousand different VST but at the moment in my opinion two are the best: the Omniverb 2.0.2
and the reverberation section from the Space Echo VST
They both work great as a pre-distortion processing technique but the Tape Echo works a bit better than Omniverb for post-distortion.

Vegas' homeless get meal, encouragement from traveling food truck ministry
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (KSNV News3LV) —
A local couple has been serving gourmet meals – made to order – for the past two years around the valley.
The catch? None of their customers has to pay.
On Saturday morning at Tonopah Park in North Las Vegas, there were pancakes fresh off the griddle, eggs and a side of hash browns – all served from a mobile food truck.
"I think it's the best thing to hit Vegas since gambling," said Marques Johnson, a Goodness Gracious Ministries customer.
The ministry uses the food truck to rotate around the city, serving meals from breakfast to lunch to dinner.
"We have great teriyaki chicken sometimes. great pancakes, grilled cheese, hamburgers," Johnson said.
Some customers line up daily.
"We just want people to know that people out here still care about them," said Brian Bland, who has been working with his wife, Jenny, in the food truck ministry for two years. Some of their volunteers come from other states to help out for days at a time.
Bland knows his food may be the only meal for many of his customers each day.
The inspiration to start the food truck ministry came a few years ago when the couple were in Las Vegas for their daughter's wedding.
"My husband came to me and said, 'I think we are supposed to move to Vegas and start a feeding ministry and start a food truck,' and I'm like. 'What?' " Jenny said with a laugh. "My husband drove down, I think, Owens Avenue and his heart just broke."
They prayed about the revelation, and a few months later they were raising money, opening the truck and serving the homeless.
"God just provides," they said.
With each meal, also comes words of encouragement.
That's the reason Johnson said he now has plans lined up to soon get off the streets.
"I've been inspired by them," he said.
A true "goodness gracious" moment.
A nonprofit, the Goodness Gracious food truck and its volunteers serve three meals a day to the homeless at locations all around the valley.

It's ages since I've done any interiors/decorating posts, so I thought I'd ease back into them with a little kinda sorta tour of our own flah. I now understand why vignettes are so popular with online house tours: ok, so they cause scornful readers on Apartment Therapy to fill the comments box with vitriol, but damn are they easier than actually tidying the place up before photographing it! No accidental snaps of knickers drying on the radiators here!

ROME (Reuters) - Italian Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan said on Wednesday that the European Commission should sanction Slovakia if it is using state aid to lure companies away from European Union partners.
Embraco, a Brazil-based firm controlled by U.S. domestic-appliance giant Whirlpool, has announced it will close a factory in northern Italy and relocate to Slovakia, cutting 497 jobs.
Industry Minister Carlo Calenda on Tuesday flew to Brussels to try to persuade European Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager to declare Slovak enticements to Embraco as illegal state aid.
"We'll see if Vestager says there was state aid, as I think is possible," Padoan said in a radio interview. "If so, then the Commission should severely sanction (Slovakia) because it would be a violation of internal market rules."
The factory closing has taken center stage in Italy's election campaign ahead of a March 4 national vote, with opposition parties accusing the government of failing to make its voice heard in Brussels.

It goes perfectly with my gardening efforts too. But even if you don't have a garden, tomatoes are plentiful and inexpensive at this time of the year. And to tell you the truth, most of you would opt to buy a can of this stuff!
Canned tomato sauce could never hold a candle to this one though, made with all the herbs and spices you enjoy for flavour, thick in texture, with a little or big kick of hot pepper to tease your taste buds. It's a fantastic way to deal with the masses of red, ripe tomatoes you tend to end up with.
This isn't a hard recipe. You can do whatever you like for a couple of hours as it goes from raw to incredibly rich TOMATO SAUCE
You're gonna need
- One or more deep baking pans, lined with foil, and sprayed lightly with vegetable oil.
- As many tomatoes as you want, sliced into chunks. Even cherry tomatoes can be used - just stab them so they wont squirt in your eyes later on!
- 1 onion, also coarsely chopped, and tucked into the tomatoes.
- 2 tiny, extremely hot chili peppers, more, less or none _ your choice!
- Your favorite herbs - I use handfuls of basil, and oregano. but you can use any that you like.
- Drizzle with some olive oil - you don't need much.
- Roast in the oven set at 300 deg. F. It'll take a couple of hours, depending on how much juice you have in those tomatoes.
- Let them cool, at your convenience. Now put them through the medium blade of your fantastic food mill. These simple things are inexpensive to buy, efficient, and can be multi-purpose too.
- You'll end up with a good quantity of really thick tomato sauce
Here are some pictures of my last batch. (1 of 8, so far!)
This stuff is phenomenal!
I use this finished sauce for spaghetti, spaghetti with meat sauce, lasagne, pizza, and the list goes on. Any time you see lists of ingredients for tomato sauce, ignore and just pull your own out of the freezer!
And if you feel you really don't want to do this, just go out and buy a can, but it won't taste nearly as wonderful as this does.
Have a wonderful week ahead!

After 27 years Victorian Pastimes is closing it's doors, and selling:
See photos on Brown House Facebook page
Sale Location - 6256 State Highway 30, Amsterdam, NY
I-90 to Exit 27
Programs are available for groups of all ages, 4 years old and older.* Minimum group size must be 10, maximum 32 people except by special arrangement. Groups numbering 18 or more are considered "double groups" and will be split into two equal parts for program and Tea. Please let us know when you reserve if you will be a "double group", so additional staff may be scheduled. Bookings are available weekends, mornings, and afternoons, at 10 AM, 1 PM and 4 PM (or evening, subject to availability). A deposit of $50 is due within 7 days of the booking to hold reservations. Deposits are nonrefundable and non transferable. A list of costume sizes and final payment are due 10 days before visit.
Any balance past due on the day of the program must be paid in full, based on the numbers received in the costume list, and any subsequent additions, before the program can begin. There is no refund for no-shows, whether it be one guest or an entire group.
The Inn reserves the right to modify a program to best fit the needs of a group. Changes may be made to a program because a group arrives late, is a large or double group, has special physical or dietary needs, or who's behavior is deemed difficult by staff members, or for circumstances beyond the control of the Inn.
*infants, toddlers, and children under age 4 are not admitted.
The weather rescheduling policy for Victorian Pastimes is consistent with other theaters and entertainment businesses in the Capitol District. Programs are only rescheduled for severe weather conditions. Due to fluctuations in weather forecasting no program can be rescheduled earlier than 2 hours before the groups departure time from their home meeting point.
Though weather conditions are not always ideal, and we do not wish groups to travel in dangerous conditions, we do expect a good faith effort on every group to attend their scheduled program time. Groups that qualify for rescheduling are placed in the first available "like-time slot".

Your work is always amazing, Alek!ReplyDelete
And what a sweet doggie! :)
Thank you for asking about the earthquake in Rhodes... yes, it was pretty strong and scary! But no damage as far as I know, thankfully! The good thing was the centre was below the sea, otherwise it would have caused serious damage -- it was 5.9 to 6.1 magnitude!!!
The combination of materials is mesmerizing...I particularly love that spot of blue with the darkness of the bag and the textured silver. A real work of art!ReplyDelete
...I checked out John's site, too...great photos.ReplyDelete
Wonderful work, Alek. The (leather) grisgris is fantastic - your work always has such a special quality...ReplyDelete
Nice to meet Akela - she is the frightened wolf you mentioned, I guess? How is Perry getting along with her?
Akela is beautiful and so is the bag. I love your work. Gris gris with mojo.ReplyDelete

"The Cornell in Washington program gives students a look at government's company town"
Cornell Alumni Magazine, 2013Named for the star that once guided escaped slaves on the Underground Railroad, the Polaris Project is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit dedicated to combating human trafficking. Its offices are located in one of the myriad townhouses in the vicinity of Dupont Circle, an elegant former residence with a fireplace in its marble foyer. But if the building retains a classical air, its contents are firmly twenty-first-century: its desks and tables are laden with laptops wielded by smartly clad young staffers, crammed elbow to elbow as they work to end modern-day slavery.

"What to do when HTC phone shows unformatted error on my SD card? I cannot open this SD card due to unformatted error, but I really need to copy some videos from this card now. Can anybody share any best Android data recovery software for an corrupted SD card data recovery when it is not accessible on my HTC mobile phone?"
"I want to fix the unformatted error on my HTC smartphone because it disables me to access my SD card inserted in this phone. I tried to reinsert this SD card to my HTC mobile phone and to another mobile phone, and both of the phones are able to recognize the SD card as storage media. However, I always receive the same message saying SD card has unformatted error when I attempted to open the card. Is there any way to repair the SD card unformatted error on my HTC phone? Or how can read data from an unformatted SD card?"
First step – Stop using the SD card
Truthfully, one of the most important points is to stop using the SD card. On the one hand, you should not format SD card by mistake or on purpose to fix the unformatted error. And on the other hand, you should protect the SD card from suffering any physical damage or data overwriting due to improper operation.
This article will share solution on how to recover deleted photos from sd card Android app when it is not accessible on your HTC smartphone or any other devices due to the unformatted error.
You do not need to worry that you are unable to open an unformatted SD card for your HTC mobile phone, because the problem is able to be resolved by relying a data recovery tool. iCare Data Recovery Pro is such a data recovery tool, which is able to extract all inaccessible data without opening the SD card. This software is able to deep scan the unformatted SD card for your HTC mobile phone or any other devices so as to search all inaccessible data like music, videos, images and more. This data recovery software works on Windows platform to help recover data when HTC mobile phone reports unformatted error on any SD card such as SanDisk, Transcend, Samsung, Toshiba, Lexar, etc.
Recover deleted photos from sd card free download iCare Data Recovery for unformatted SD card recovery:
Preparation: Free download and install iCare Data Recovery on a Windows computer. Connect the unformatted SD Card to this computer and launch the data recovery software.
Step1. Select a proper scan mode after running the software.
Step2. Choose the unformatted SD card as aim disk and then you only need to wait patiently before the scanning is finished.
Step3. You can preview files after scanning and then save the lost files to another drive.
Check the file system of the SD card now by connecting it to your computer, and then you may find that the SD card turns to RAW format. This is the reason why you receive unformatted error message on your SD card on your HTC mobile phone. Since PC and mobile phone are unable to recognize RAW file system, they will consider the SD card as unformatted device when it has RAW format error. If you want to fix the unformatted error, you just need to format the SD card to convert from RAW to FAT32 which is able to be recognized by both phone and computer. However, please remember to run iCare Data Recovery to get back all lost files at first before formatting the card.
When HTC mobile phone says SD card is unformatted, you need to format the SD card to fix the problem after data recovery. Usually, you can format an SD memory card for HTC smartphone with following methods:
1. You can quick format an SD memory card on your computer or HTC mobile phone to convert it from RAW to FAT32 so as to fix the unformatted error. It only takes a short time to quick format an SD card, after which the card will normally on your phone without showing unformatted error.
2. You can also full format an SD card on computer if you doubt that the unformatted error is caused by bad sectors. Full format (also known as complete format) is able to check and mark all bad sectors on your SD card. The data will no longer be saved to the SD card space which has bad sectors after full format.
3. If SD card is unable to be formatted whether you perform quick format or full format, you can also rely on professional format software to format the SD card in order to fix unformatted error.

Hi my stylish readers!
Today's look feature beautiful dress and heels from DRESSLINK and necklace from OCEANFASHION. For this look I've wanted to make something romantic, feminine and eye-catching, but with a bit of natural casualness. And this beautiful red dress is spot on for the style, it's bright juicy red color really stands out, but the design isn't too glamorous. With unique texture of material, which reminds me just a bit of crochet, the dress feels very comfortable and even kinda casual. I've wanted to up the "wow" factor, so for the shoes I've went with red high heels. The design on them is so awesome, mainly just a classic style, but with a huge red bow, which looks super cute. This look is definitely for a special occasion, it's not a day to day outfit, but it retain a certain naturally and casual, which I really like. For accessory I've picked a stunning golden necklace with beautiful Victorian pattern design. It perfectly blends in to the mix, giving the look a more chic and glam appearance. The pattern on the necklace is very detailed, making it feel like an expensive piece of jewelry. The whole look stands out, so everyone will definitely notice you, but it remains youth natural vibe.

For fans of Gone Girl, I Hunt Killers, and TV's How to Get Away with Murder.
Max Cantrell has never been a big fan of the truth, so when the opportunity arises to sell forged permission slips and cover stories to his classmates, it sounds like a good way to make a little money and liven up a boring senior year. With the help of his friends Preston and Parvati, Max starts Liars, Inc. Suddenly everybody needs something and the cash starts pouring in. Who knew lying could be so lucrative?
When Preston wants his own cover story to go visit a girl he met online, Max doesn't think twice about hooking him up. Until Preston never comes home. Then the evidence starts to pile up—terrifying clues that lead the cops to Preston's body. Terrifying clues that point to Max as the murderer.
Can Max find the real killer before he goes to prison for a crime he didn't commit? In a story that Kirkus Reviews called "Captivating to the very end," Paula Stokes starts with one single white lie and weaves a twisted tale that will have readers guessing until the explosive final chapters.
I knew I had to get my hands all over this book as soon as I read "For fans of Gone Girl, I Hunt Killers, and TV's How to Get Away with Murder." I can now tell you that this description is very accurate. I'm not familiar with I Hunt Killers but Liars, Inc. definitely has elements from the other two. While I don't consider this book a new favorite, I really enjoyed most of it.
The premise is interesting and Stokes definitely delivers a thrilling read. The suspense is there, which is one of the main reasons I kept reading until the end. I love that I didn't see the outcome coming at all. I had hundreds of guesses but they didn't even come close to the craziness that took place. While I loved that this novel keeps you guessing until the very end, I wasn't a huge fan of the romance. I think my only issue with it is that I really didn't like Max's girlfriend, Parvati. I kept waiting for that moment that would make me like her but it never happened. I hate to say this but I think I couldn't fall in love with this novel because of her.
I'm a huge fan of her previous novel, The Art of Lainey, and this is the polar opposite. I love when writers can transform like this! It makes everything they write feel really new and unexpected. While I'm more of a Lainey kind of reader, I really loved the author's voice and the tone of Liars. If you are looking for a very crazy whodunit, definitely pick this one up!
