Beads helped me quit smoking
I quit smoking on August 31, 2009. I did it cold turkey because I was ready, and wanted to do it for myself, but it never hurts to have added motivation. On day 4, I posted an update to Facebook, saying it was going well so far. Marcia DeCoster mentioned to me that when she quit, she would use the money she saved not buying cigarettes to buy herself flowers. I did that the first week, but then I decided I would buy more beads! The hardest part was breaking the habit of smoking and driving. When I'd get a bad craving, I'd drive past the gas station to Artful Bead and claim my prize, a shiny new tube of beads. It worked wonders and 2 months later, the worst cravings had subsided.
Fat Lady on a Diet
My FB friend, Sig Wynne-Evans (also of Traveling Bracelets fame) is using beads to help her lose weight. She is chronicling her progress on her new Facebook page, Fat Lady on a Diet, and she's been sharing motivational quotes, pictures, and fitness tips she discovers. For the next 30 weeks, her goal is to lose 1 pound a week. For every pound that she doesn't lose, she's going to giveaway a 100 gm bag of beads. That is some serious motivation! Please join us on her page to cheer her on and maybe get some motivation for your own fitness goals.
My Beady Fitness Challenge: Insanity!
Sig has inspired me, and I want some leverage to help me stick with my Insanity workout. The workouts are 6 days a week (one is "easier") and I've just finished day 2 of 60. The rules are simple. For every day I don't do my scheduled workout, I'm going to giveaway one of my kits. I'll post updates here and on the Bead Circle Facebook page.
There is a recovery week between month 1 and 2 and it's the second half I'm really nervous about. I need to do a few modifications so I don't injure my wrist again, and I'll probably have started my new full-time job. I haven't worked full-time in years, so this will be a big change! My reward will be a new swimsuit and the free Insanity t-shirt they offer for submitting before and after photos.
Please comment below with any motivation, and to receive a kit should I miss a day. Thanks for your help!
Day 2- Cardio Power workout. This is tough, but today I have thrown down the gauntlet by making this public. I can do it! Also, using my new Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor has been helpful in deciding when I need to slow down (heart rate is too high) and when I need to "dig deeper" (heart rate is in range-keep going).
Day 3- My calves were screaming, so I soaked in an Epsom salt bath. Today I did Cardio Recovery, which is stretching, yoga, and some moves I used to do all the time in dance class. Calves still screaming. Ready for tomorrow.
Day 4- Did the Pure Cardio workout today. As I'm lying on the floor, shirt soaked with sweat, and I hear Shaun T. say "That sh** was bananas, ya'll" I feel like Superwoman.
Day 5- Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Awesome workout, today! I also purchased the book, Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It.
Day 6- Off day, woohoo! Except instead of beading all day I cleaned all day. Feels great to have a clean house
Day 7- Cardio Power. Still doing girly push-ups, but I'll get there.
Day 8- Pure Cardio. I can already feel a difference in my cardio since I can do more before my heart rate gets high.
Day 9- Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Decided to start eating spinach omelets for breakfast and threw away all my sugary, carb loaded cereal. Had great energy for my workout!
Day 10- Cardio Recovery. No cardio but the exercises make my muscles burn.
Day 11- Cardio Power. Wow, today was harder and I had to keep stopping whenever because of cramps. I truly employed "Do your best and forget the rest." I will be drinking more water now.
Day 12- Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs. Today they tack on 16 minutes of abs, and I couldn't do everything. I felt the burn though and that's what counts.
Day 13- Rest day. Feels good to let my body recover a bit
Day 14- Fit test.
Day 15- Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Started getting a cramp during warm-up. Instead of pushing thru, I drank water, waited half an hour or so, then started back up. Then, I had an awesome workout with no cramps, yay!
Day 16- Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs. I did my workout today even though I really didn't feel like. It's the hardest one on the list. Victory is mine!
Day 17- Cardio recovery. I can tell my flexibility and balance are both improving.
Day 18- Cardio Power. Today I tried to get in my workout quick. As my necklace banged around, and my bangs fell in my face, I realized preparation is key. Got some bobby pins at the next break, pushed through, felt amazing.
Day 19- Rest. ahhhh…
Day 20- Plyometric Cardio Circuit. The workout after rest day is always awesome.
Day 21- Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs. Victory! Today I did the whole 10 min warm-up without stopping! Yup, its that insane.
Day 22- Cardio Power. I think I'm gettin the hang of this one because today I was like "Bring it!"
Day 23- Plyometric Cardio Circuit. I can feel my calves and shins starting to ache a bit today, so I'm glad tomorrow is a recovery day.
Day 24- Cardio Recovery. Was doing really great on my Paleo-style eating (no bread or dairy, meat and veggies only) when I decided to have pizza last night. Today I feel hungover and low energy, and I know its from the bread! I'm amazed at the difference I feel.
Day 25- Pure Cardio. Decent workout. I'm starting to get that shin splint feeling, and that usually means its time to buy new athletic shoes.
Day 26- Plyometric Cardio Circut. New shoes made a big difference today! Great workout.
Day 27- Rest day. I have finished month 1 and next week is recovery week before I start month 2.
Day 28- Core Cardio & Balance. Shaun T. says take it easy this week, but this one still makes me sweat and makes muscles burn.
Day 29- CC&B. Didn't sleep well last night and it definitely affected my workout. Another victory- I am now one day past where I quit last time!
Day 30- CC&B. Did a little better, I can really feel it in my abs.
Day 31- CC&B. Extremely low energy today, but I pushed through best I could.
Day 32- CC&B. Today's workout was a 180 compared to yesterday! Feeling awesome! Difference? Could be food, weather, sleep, or something else. I'm not sure what.
Day 33- Rest Day
Day 34- Rest Day
Day 35- Max Interval Circuit. Wow, Shaun T. is a little meaner in this one, and its a lot harder. I debated turning off the video twice, and started doubting if I could do this. I decide to just do my best and I can only get better from here.
Day 36- Max Interval Plyo. Sore from yesterday so that means I'm getting a good workout even though I couldn't do everything. Also, there's a girl named Mandi is this one
Day 37- Max Cardio Conditioning. This one's tough but fun!
Day 38- Max Recovery.
Day 39- Max Interval Circuit. Easier than the last time.
Day 40- Rest Day
Day 41- Max Interval Plyo. Still have to substitute some moves but I can always feel my muscles working.
Day 42- Max Cardio Conditioning. I was ready to keep going when the workout was over, hehe. Then I noticed this is the shortest one in the max series.
Day 43- Max Interval Circuit. Today I noticed how much strength I have really gained! Even though the scale doesn't seem to be moving, I've lost a half inch off my waist and I have solid no longer flabby legs.
Day 44- Max Interval Plyo. Butt kicked.
Day 45- Max Recovery. Recovery my a**!
Day 46- Rest day.
Day 47- Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs. Feeling pretty awesome after this workout.
Day 48- Core Cardio & Balance. Funny how this one seems easy now.
Day 49- Max Interval Circuit. Well, today was different. I stopped before the second circuit and wondered why the hell am I doing this when I haven't seen much progress. How the hell did that girl lose 37 pounds in 60 days doing this? Watched some motivational videos for awhile and then finished the workout.
Day 50- Max Interval Plyo. I noticed my shins were starting to ache which I know from experience playing lacrosse that its a sign of over-training. I'll just insert an extra rest day and keep going.
Day 51- Rest Day.
Day 52- Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs.

History and Backstory: Viet Kong debuted in the STWF in early 1999 where he peaked at number 3 contender for the heavyweight title. Was later banned for life in the STWF along with "Charlie" and a their American counterparts, brainwashed former P.O.W. tag-team "Chemical Warfare" Agent Orange and Napalm. Was rumored to have nearly decapitated a man in a Hanoi fight for profit later that year but didn't wrestle in any fed professionally or legally. Kong is ape-like hairy from the waist up, has fourteen fingers (really!) and freakishly large due to chemical weapon and biological warfare testing gone awry during the Vietnam Conflict. He's 35 inch biceps are a testament to third world gaffes in an attempt to overthrow other countries. Was sent with "Charlie" to repay America via the world of wrestling for their involment in The Conflict and enjoys government funded backing. Like the actual Conflict wasn't enough punishment. He's big, he's scary, and he doesn't say a word. "Charlie" is his mouthpiece, and after a dose of his broken English, some wish he was as mute as Kong.
Costume: Battle Dress Uniform (aka BDU's or camouflage) pants, black military style jump boots, and a black Executioner's Hood. "Charlie" also wears BDU pants, and a black t-shirt that read's "Sookie Sookie" on the front, and "Kong Make You Dookie" on the back.

By increasing the effective height of the flue, the Flue Stretcher addresses two problems.
1) Negative House Pressures
When you have two fireplaces. One upstairs and one downstairs the smoke from the upstairs fireplace can get pulled into the downstairs fireplace flue causing smoke to enter the home. By Adding the Flue Stretcher to the upstairs fireplace flue, this will distances its smoke from the downward pull of the downstairs flue.
2) Increase Draft
By incresing height and putting the flue opening above foors and other nearby structures this will help for a better draft of the chimney
Measure the exact outside dimensions of your flue tile sticking up above the crown of your chimney.

Grueling Memories
Ah, the decennial millet gruel transport between Strasbourg and Zurich, which commemorates the friendship between cities on the Upper and High Rhine plateaus. (Via Getty Images)
Actually, it is another case of fond medieval reveries awakened in the nineteenth century. The Swiss cantons, alarmed by the relentless shelling of Strasbourg during the Franco-Prussian War, sent envoys to negotiate aid for the citizens. Their generosity was remembered in the context of older Trans-Rhenish relations, especially relevant to the independence of free cities in the Holy Roman Empire, but in their short-term represented resistance to German nationalism. Bartholdi took this theme for one of his panels on La suisse secourant les douleurs de Strasbourg pendant la siège de 1870.

Charmed Ones fulfilled their Destiny and retired from magical life, the Elders felt that a new force of good was needed to maintain the balance between good and evil. For this reason, they sought out a new generation of witches who could fight evil and protect the innocent. They would become known as a Chosen, a coven of witches destined for greatness.
In order to become a collective of power, these witches would have to partake in a ritual to share their powers and intertwine their Destiny. This ritual created a blood bond between the witches, linking them together. The ritual required an athame blessed by the Elders and was conducted by the whitelighter Mikelle.
The ritual created both a magical and spiritual connection between the members of the coven and increased their shared and individual power, although the exact consequences of the ritual have not yet been explored. Like the Charmed Ones, the Chosen can call on their collective power through a spell, which channels their power in a collective force that protects them from harm and is capable of vanquishing demons.
- "The Chosen call, collective power
- Vanquish this evil within this hour."

6 May 2008Blurt - The Factory Recordings
LTM is pleased to present an archive CD of recordings made in for the legendary Factory Records label by cult band Blurt, the unclassifiable punk-jazz trio led by Ted Milton.
Formed in Stroud in 1979, Blurt consisted of Ted Milton (sax, vocals), brother Jake Milton (drums) and guitarist Pete Creese. Ted had already attracted the attention of Factory founder Tony Wilson as a puppeteer (!), and were invited to join the label. Blurt performed at several Factory showcase gigs in London between April and August 1980, and recorded one side of the double compilation album A Factory Quartet (FACT 24).
Although their anarchic shows and music drew rave reviews, Blurt were frustrated by delays in releasing their Factory recording, and the last minute loss of a Factory tour of Europe in October. A live album, Live In Berlin, was recorded in December 1980 and scheduled for release as a 10" on Factory Benelux, but cancelled after Blurt annoyed Wilson by comparing the Factory label to lifestyle boutique Habitat. The set was subsequently released as In Berlin on Armageddon, its memorable cover featuring a photograph of a pile of pink rubbish sacks.
Digitally remastered, LTMCD 2526 The Factory Recordings combines all tracks from A Factory Quartet and In Berlin, including Blurt favourites My Mother Was a Friend of an Enemy of the People, Ubu, Puppeteers of the World Unite and Cherry Blossom Polish. The booklet features archive images and detailed sleevenotes.

In the grey days of late 1970s post-punk Manchester, youth culture was a serious affair: every musical performance was measured mostly by the conviction of its delivery. The term 'New Wave' opened up free vistas where acquired skills could once again be exercised after punk's monochrome blur. It could be applied to anything from a James 'Blood' Ulmer record to the latest Throbbing Gristle release, Magazine to Swell Maps. Move outside that terrain into Sun Ra, Parliament, Frank Sinatra and Martin Denny, and your options were suddenly without limit...
Then came Tony Wilson's Factory Club (at the Russell Club in Hulme) offering an open invitation to experiment that was taken up when Ken Hollings, Howard Walmsley, Eddie Sherwood and a few others decided to make some noise to accompany their 16mm silent epic Biting Tongues. A further performance followed a few weeks later, when Colin Seddon and Graham Massey disbanded their Post Natals project and joined up. The film itself, a flashing series of negative images, became a memory; the name remained.

I recently had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Phil's audiobook Life Code: The New Rules for Winning in the Real World.
Excerpt from the book:
The rules for living in the real world have changed, because the world we live in has changed. Much of the conventional wisdom the last generation has passed on just doesn't apply like it once did. If you want to win, and win big, and, more importantly, keep what you work so hard for, you need a crystal-clear view of how the real world works — not how you wish it worked, but how it actually works.
In this book, Dr. Phil tells us to change our thinking about the world and shares the truth about users, abusers and bad guys in all of our lives. He tells us that we need to be aware that the world isn't as it should be. He reveals the secrets of the bad guys including how they think and how they get to you and your loved ones to exploit you.
Dr, Phil shares that we all have BAITERs (Backstabbers, Abusers, Imposters, Takers, Exploiters, Reckless) who we need to protect ourselves from. In doing so, we need the right tools and Dr. Phil shares these. He gives you the identifiers so you can see them coming as well as their secret playbook, containing their tactics to exploit and take what is yours. Last, he shares with you the life code that you need to win in the real world.
I loved Dr. Phil's advice but it was probably controversial. Dr. Phil did what he does best by going away from the norm to show you how you can get what you deserve. These are his lessons in winning at the game.
Hardcover, First, 244 pages

Below are the rates for fuel acquired from 1 August 2017 to 31 January 2018.

|Cents per litre
Claims for packaging or supplying fuels can use the 'all other business uses' rate for the appropriate eligible fuel type.
For businesses that claim less than $10,000 in fuel tax credits in a year, to simplify your claim use the rate that applies at the end of the BAS period.

I don't want to say that I'm worried but I can definitely acknowledge that I'm a little concerned with how fast time is moving. It's strange that I think of time as this ever changing thing, but it's not, as a matter of fact it's so consistent that it's the one thing we overlook and take for granted. The idea of time could very easily be looked at as a metaphor of how people should approach life – Time doesn't stop it just keeps going until it gets to where it needs to get, it takes it's own time, and it's such a force in life that it's impossible to ignore. I don't want to get into the reflective bullshit of looking back on the year that was but if I may for just a quick second – the year that was, was an eye opener. It was the year when I'd write an appointment for next week and it would seem to arrive tomorrow or I'd set a task six months into the future and somehow I was struggling to reach the goal because I didn't seem to have enough time. Most importantly, physically speaking, time has caught up to me in a few aspects that I'm too afraid to even explore.
The idea of time is inevitable and it's what structures our lives and makes us evaluate and reassess our approach to life. How many New Year resolutions did you make or how many did you hear? Did you take a moment to map out the course of your life over the next calendar year and set goals that were all formed with-in a timetable? Probably. That's normal, and optimistic and quite honestly it's something that's needed in order to right our wrongs or to masque the faults that we see in ourselves. And that's the beauty of the New Years Resolution.
We make resolutions based around a calendar and think we're going to magically change when January 1st comes around. The New Year is a time for optimism and honestly I wish we could all bottle that feeling on a day to day basis because it seems that it washes away sooner rather than later. For the record, I'm a firm believer of laying out your goals and going after them on a time timeline.
We should never forget the feeling of what new time affords us, and what new time means for our souls. Moving forward (and to wrap up this rant) I'm here to remind you something that my mom reminds me. Approach every day as you'd approach the New Year. Don't think you have one opportunity to make resolutions and there is this magical moment that you'll be able to stick with them.
The opportunity to tackle time and make the best of it is here on August 1st and January 1st, that will never change. As we get older time seems to go faster, responsibilities seem to pile up, and windows of time seem to close. I wish I really grasped what people meant when they told me "time goes fast."
In the words of the great Ferris Bueller: "Life is pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you may miss it."

Having recently produced a number of new web-based media, I found myself wishing I had done these readings some time ago. As a film lover with a limited art background and being relatively proficient at what the Japanese refer to as kengaku, or learning through observation, I am still quite pleased with:
- the layouts I have used
- the fonts I have chosen
- my focus on the use white space
- my use of transitions
I feel confident they have served me well. The readings focusing on writing were my biggest sources for concern and the area I have identified as weak points. As quoted in a recent Slate piece Lazy Eyes: How we Read on the Web:
A good editor should be able to cut 40 percent of the word
count while removing only 30 percent of an article's value.
I'll be honest with you, the idea of cutting off my verbosity scares me. I love to riff. I like to let my sentences run down long, winding paths, rife with commas and connectives, jumping to connected thoughts and weaving complex abstractions and references. To me this is good writing. Keeping it simple will take some learning. I suppose, however, a few less commas and a restricted flow-of-consciousness in my writing in this one genre will be worth the reward of increased exposure and an expanded digital footprint.
But wait! Read on…
When we like a text, we read more slowly.
When we're really engaged in a text, it's like being in an effortless trance.
Yes, surely this is it. I will never be as referenced as Noam Chomsky, but that's ok. For one, I lack his mammoth intellect, and for another, really, is my purpose to become a famous blogger or to share and direct like-minded individuals to my more erudite thoughts once in a while? Yes, surely this is it. I can use shorter paragraphs. I already like to use bullet points. Maybe I will start my own style. One sentence. Space Two sentences. Space. Three sentences. Space… Heck, maybe I should write this in the new style! EDIT: Too late now, maybe next time:-)
Google's, Eye-tracking Studies: More Than Meets the Eye offers interesting insights into how this giant search engine is improving its services though really didn't impact on my own design thoughts. I found it technically fascinating however, as was the piece, Media Literacy, Questioning Video, Film, Advertising & Propaganda: Deconstructing Media Messages.
Having always been concerned with the incredible amount of money spent on research to make us buy and do things we might not otherwise be inclined to do pitted against the nothing we do to understand it… (CHOMSKY). The resources for teachers for this fundamental missing piece in most (all?) curricula are waiting for me in my iPad reading list to be employed come fall. As a related 'flash forward' here, this weekend's workshop, Authentic Assessment and Digital media in the Classroom is perfectly timed for me to help my students with the project based learning task of creating documentaries taking their social studies work further. We have already started assessing design elements of other educational videos in science class as a crossover. I will shortly be tweaking my rubric to align it more with the International Society for Technology in Education's National Education Technology Standards for Students
That design and layout influence effective communication is axiomatic. That teaching these skills is overlooked is neglectful. High achievement in the workplace is largely dependent on a multitude of skills. Presentation and communication skills are necessary to effectively share what you know and can do and the more artistically you can manage the requisite tools the better able you are to influence others and get want you want. I have a low-level executive friend at Coca-Cola who was basically told to pick up his presentation game if he ever wished to climb higher up the ladder. This was the message he received after reporting the huge success he was sharing in terms of reducing operating expenses while raising revenues in the quarter! The medium is the message?
I myself made a presentation for a job interview that I largely credit with landing the job. (BIG thanks to Kim for helping me make this career redirect). I was happy they actually let me give it but really think it allowed me to showcase my stuff.
In essence, the focus for this week was insightful and enjoyable. Wonderful stuff. I embrace it wholeheartedly. One final note I will add here is that some of the obviously high traffic sites I have been directed to for COETAIL readings have added so much 'flash' in terms of advertising or fancy transitions that they are hard to read without interruption during my daily commute. They take too long to load or cause Safari to shut down on my iPad. Something I will keep in mind should I decide to look for more traffic in the future.
Please take a look at my Hub, the central portal to all of my other online incarnations for a survey of how I have incorporated design elements to maintain viewer interest and create an easy, user-friendly environment.
As always, I welcome commentary, here on my blog or on any of the other places you may find me.
Thanks for reading. Hey… FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! I share only what may be helpful and retweet some of the best.

Today's interiew is with Sevda Khatamian, the author of Morning People.
Book sample
Morning People, non-fiction, memoir.
The light turned green, and I started to walk to the other side of the street with thirty or forty other people. Some of them were on their way to catch the ferry. Some were running not to miss it—only two minutes left. Street dogs were walking with us too. But I don't think they were in such a hurry. I saw some fences from across the street, they were blocking the alley to the ferry station. Standing tall, and crisp white. Seemed like they've always been there, although I knew they were new to the neighborhood; haven't seen them before. When was the last time I took the ferry?
Sevda Khatamian, nineteen eighty-nine, her family was already living in Tehran when she was born in the month of July. Although her parents were in touch with friends and other members of the family, it was mostly the four of them hanging out together. Her father used to run his own business and her mother worked in a hospital. Later she became a lawyer. Soheil, her older brother, moved abroad right after he graduated from high school. Sevda took the same path and moved out of the country by the time she was eighteen.
After six years of living in Ankara, studying, working, and eventually living an unemployed life concentrated on personal creative projects, she decided to move to Istanbul, and discover life on another level, and back up new experiences for the future.
She now travels as an artist in residence, and lives in different countries for short periods of time. She believes creativity dawns as she moves along with the road.
What is the current book you are promoting?
Morning People is the second memoir that I released on the month of April. It's a selective series of incidents from an everyday life in a vast endless city, alongside the friends living the same path.
You mentioned you're writing a new story. How about a teaser?
I found a few old drafts in the stuff that I'd left with my parent. They're short stories, they must belong to the time that I wrote fiction. I'm planning to rewrite them, and see if I could release a book of short stories. Three short stories, actually, that are somehow connected to each other.
Why do you write?
Now that I'm thinking about it, I've always wrote to calm myself down. I used to keep a journal, full of thoughts and comments about things happening around me. I was also interested in script writing, so I studied fiction and writing for screen. A few years ago, I was caught up in a situation where I was very far away from my dream life, and that was depressing. So I started writing again since I found it the most affordable and easiest way to produce, and stay innovative. It's almost the only way to leave ideas behind, even once you're dead. Not only it boosted my creativity, I'm also able to spend more times on my drawings and animation ideas. I now get to combine these mediums more effectively.
Do you have a special time to write or how is your day structured?
I don't know, I'm not a very decisive person. I usually write at night. It's as if my engines start after the sun sets. But it also depends on my daily schedule and what I'd planned for myself the night before. It may even depend on my mood. I only need to make sure that I spend enough time on drawing, writing, reading and any other project that I'm working on at the moment.
What else have you written?
I have published two books so far, both memoir. That Year was my first one, and Morning People came second. That Year was a series of funny misfortunes and incidents happening in a year of my life, as I moved to my apartment and I gradually made friend with the place. Morning People started as I moved to another city. Life was now so different, and so I had to write all about it. I've also written a few short scripts, hoping I'd make films in the future.
Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer just seeing where an idea takes you?
I draw a map for the book before I start writing the first draft. I clear out the chapters for myself, and note down what every chapter would contain of. Since I work on memoir, I keep adding ideas and layers to each chapter as the time goes by, as I remember relevant incidents. Well, funny thing is that I can never tell for sure how it's going to end, I just have to wait for the right moment. It's rather experimental.
Do you design your own book covers or have someone else? If you use someone else would you tell us who/website?
Yes, I draw them myself. I've studied graphic design, fine arts, so I'm familiar with the process of book printing, from page layout and cover to the margins and bleeds.
Give us an insight into your main character. What does he do that is so special?
So in these two books, I've talked about my thoughts, and it's a stream of conscious, so I'm somehow the only character. I recreate myself slightly different than what I really am. I, as the character, appear to be a bit dumb, out of focus, forgetful but specific at the same time, and mostly random. My friends and family are also featured in the book, and you get to find out about their character throughout the book; I mention things about them here and there.
Where do your ideas come from?
Real life. I cannot explain how inspiring the reality is, or the power of random incidents once they're put in perspective, where you can see things through the filter of time.
What was the hardest thing about writing your latest book?
I should say editing. I was in no condition to hire an editor, so I had to do it myself. I had taught myself how to actually edit a book, so I wasn't really sure if I was doing fine, or it was all a big mistake. To me, editing was the tiring part. I also had to stick to my deadline, and that was a bit stressing.
What is your next project?
Well, Morning People was one part of this memoir project. As I said before, I like to combine mediums in order to express the ideas in different tastes. I've sketched down an animation, The Street, which is a series of animated images picturing the silent side of the book, parts of this context that are better when expressed visually.
If there was one thing you could do to change the world, what would it be?
Cell phones, I think I'd take them away. I wouldn't touch anything else in the new technology, only cell phones. Things were much more interesting when we only used landlines.
Tell us something unique about you.
I'm not sure if it's unique, but I'm utterly and absolutely obsessed with SpongeBob. I love everything about it. Everything. I could talk for hours about him, why I adore him so much, I could write a book about it. And the funny thing is that I didn't watch the show until a few years; our national television broadcasted very different types of shows when we were little.

Daily Istanbul Tours – Encourage yourselves and be part of modern Istanbul
Ever wanted to mingle with the people of the day? Then Daily Istanbul Tours is for you. Or you might want to do some shopping in Turkey's most expensive street where you can shop at Gucci, Hugo Boss, Prada, Chanel…
Nisantasi was settled by the Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecid I in the middle of the 19th century. His idea was to make a proper living district and to encourage the citizens of Istanbul to settle there. He erected two obelisks to define the beginning point and the ending point of the quarter. He ordered the construction of the Tesvikiye Police Station and the Tesvikiye Mosque (in Ottoman Turkis 'Tesvikiye' means 'encouragement').
Literally means Marking Stone
Nisantasi itself literally means Marking Stone in Turkish. The name is from the past and comes from the stones that were erected to mark the archery range records of the Ottoman archers and sultans. Some of these target stones, which are shaped like small obelisks and have Ottoman Turkish inscriptions on them. They are still found on the pavements of Nisantasi as monuments from the past. The inscriptions give information about the date, the shooter and the distance the arrow was thrown.
Sultan Abdulmecid I's idea to make a proper district for living was successful. Because after the Balkan Wars many Turks from Macedonia, especially Thessaloniki (Selanik, which was an Ottoman metropolis until 1912) settled in the Nisantasi quarter of Istanbul. Apart from the Turks, the quarter also had sizeable Greek, Jewish, Armenian and Levantine communities.
Nowadays Nisantasi is a central quarter of New Istanbul which is famous for its many Art Nouveau buildings and it is also home to several distnguished figures of the Turkish jet-set, culture and art. There you can easily see famous people walking on the street any time during the day.
It is definitely a great place to be and to feel the atmosphere of modern Istanbul in your private city tour. Of course, you have to do this trip after you see all the major places of Istanbul.
Nisantasi at night
You can also visit Nisantasi at night Daily Istanbul Tours; especially on Saturday nights, and become part of the nightlife of this neighbourhood; as Nisantasi includes many cafes, pubs, restaurants and night clubs.
I am specialist on tailor-made tours like Istanbul guided tours. For more information please contact me with the size of your group for a free quote with no-obligation.
I am also so happy to introduce Ephesus and Turkey tours and to all our visitors to get more about Ephesus please check daily Ephesus tour, about Turkey please check guided tours Turkey.

Right now, sound effects would be reallllly useful. I'd insert that creepy sound from horror movies that sounds like someone's coming to stab you. Because that's basically how I feel.
Ugh. It's an assault on the eyes. I apologize if you feel violated now. I know I do.
Listen, I get it. It's a playroom. It's supposed to be an explosion of toys. That means my kid is having fun, right? But all of my clothes are in this room, since I've been exiled to the extra bedroom closet. So I had to walk through this crap every single day just to get dressed. INSANITY. I would have to toss toys and dress up clothes and stuffed animals out of the way just so I could open the doors to my closet. Honestly, it was to the point where I was getting mad as soon as I walked in the room.
I guess you could say that I asked for this to happen. I had all of Avery's toys basically piled up in three plastic bins. In my new-mom-naivety, I assumed that my kid would get the toy she wanted out of the bin and play with it. Hahahahahahahahahahahah. Geez, I was an idiot. Instead, just as you expect, Avery would come in the room, decide she wanted the toy at the very bottom of the bin, and dump the entire thing. THE ENTIRE THING. EVERY SINGLE TIME. And not just one bin. Oh no. If one bin was dumped, they all three must be dumped. It was like an unspoken rule to my two year old. After almost a year of this madness, I decided I'd had enough. I was sick and tired of coming into this mess. I was tired of picking this crap up every other week or so, only to have my kid come in and undo it all within a matter of minutes. No, it was time to get serious about organizing this stupid playroom.
Note: Marty and I have future plans to finish our basement, which will include a playroom. The current playroom will hopefully, Lord willing, be a nursery soon-ish rather than later. So, instead of go all out and decorate this room like I would a "dream playroom," I focused on organizing rather than decorating.
Did you hear the Heavenly chorus? Because I can. Can we focus on one single thing right now? I can see the floor.
No toys and junk cluttering up a pathway to my closet. I can walk straight into the room, open my closet doors ALL THE WAY open, and not hit a single toy in the process. It's glorious.
Everything is in storage bins and they're all organized in a specific way. One bin is dress up clothes and jewelry. One bin is Little People. One is all balls....ball pit, basketball, softball. One is animals. One is "pretend stuff"....plastic food, cash register, musical instruments, play makeup. One is all baby dolls and their junk. My thought behind doing it this way? If Avery decides she wants to play with her Sleeping Beauty dress, she goes to a specific bin, opens it and plays. Even if she decides to dump the entire bin of dress up stuff, that's just a small amount of stuff to be picked back up. Before, they were open plastic bins that she could easily dump. Now, I have actual storage containers with lids. If she wants to get it out and play with it, it takes effort to get the box, open the lid and then dump. Hopefully that will discourage her from dumping every single toy out of every single box. It's been a week and Avery's done really, really well with this set up.
Now, when we do finally finish our basement (you know, ten years from now), I would love the "official" playroom to look something like these....
Decorated, fun, functional...and an obvious playroom. But since this room will hopefully become something else in the next couple of years, it seemed silly to do too much of a decorating job on it. I can live with it for now. Heck, it's organized and clean. I'm THRILLED with it for now.

UPDATE:Sadly, the female fan died after being wheeled out of the arena on a stretcher.
A scary moment took place Thursday night in Portland, during the Blazers' 108-87 win against the visiting Dallas Mavericks.
A fan required medical attention and was taken out of the arena on a stretcher.
At the moment, that's all the information that has been released.
Per CSNNW:
A woman received medical attention at her seat early in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's Blazers-Mavericks game at the Moda Center and then was wheeled out of arena on a stretcher and taken to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center.
No other information was available about who the woman was or her condition.
The incident occurred during a timeout in the fourth quarter. Many people in the arena stood up and began looking over toward section 111 across from the visitor's bench. Within maybe two minutes paramedics and a stretcher were on the scene. The woman was placed on a stretcher and then wheeled across the court in front of the Mavericks players and out of the arena. […] During the entire incident, players from both teams stood and watched with concern.

On the 29th of June, the QEGS Athletics team set off for a day full of events at the District Athletics Championship at the King George Stadium, Grimsby. Heightened by the hot weather, the pressure for the students to perform to the best of their abilities was high as they needed to maintain the school's position in Division 1. However, the students did not disappoint.
The first events happened almost immediately as the bus arrived, so the students competing had little time to prepare. In the first event of 1200m, Year 8 Oli Fields came an impressive second place, as did Year 7 Sophie Hutchinson. As the heat increased, the next long-distance event 1500m took place; despite the weather, Year 9 Matthew Spendlove came a remarkable second place which was well applauded as he crossed the finish line.
Next was the short distance events; the runners had to be powerful and agile around the track, focus was needed to achieve their best time possible and they certainly did just that. In the 100m race, both Year 9's Jack Leggate and Katie Mankelow came second in their race, both having fractions between them and the winner. The medals then started to come home for QEGS as Evie Blow in Year 7 won her 200m race and set a new district record in doing so; Jack Leggate in Year 9 also achieved a first place and new district record for his 300m. In the 800m race, the competition was tough, so our runners had to pace themselves in order to gain the highest position possible. We had winners in this race from both Year 8 Tom Lancaster-Eastwood and Year 9 Matthew Spendlove; one of our most inspirational runners Ella Bennett in Year 10 achieved an incredible second place as she fought off some brilliant runners.
Amidst the team support clapping and cheering in the stands, the QEGS Athletes were also winning medals out in the field events. In the shot put, Year 9 Amy Bunting came second throwing over 8m; she also achieved second in the discus, two events she competes for competitively outside of school. In Year 7, Emma Eastham achieved an impressive second place too, for someone small but mighty Emma performed incredibly well. In the triple jump, Year 9 Grace Lunn won the event for her year group and in high jump Year 8 Thrisha Hande won the event in her year group.
The best part of the day was when the 4x100m relay started; with everyone cheering for support, the runners definitely felt as if they all had a chance of winning. The Year 7 girls (Evie, Freya, Amy and Jess) won and also set a new district record; the Year 10 girls (Anna, Daisy, Ella and Lydia) also won. The Year 9 boys had the best result of achieving third place, all of which the points were needed.
Overall, it was another very successful day for the QEGS athletes. With the help of the sixth formers, they were organised, determined and raring to compete; it was a very enjoyable day overall and one that the students enjoy representing the school in. We hope to next year still maintain our position in Division 1 and set even more District records.
FINAL RESULT – QEGS HORNCASTLE 4TH in DIVISION ONE

All U.S. citizens traveling to Jordan need a Jordan visa for entry into the country. Visas are issued on arrival at many ports of entry and border crossings.
However, if you will be entering the country through a port that does not issue visas on arrival you must secure your travel visa or entry permit prior to arriving. If you do not have the appropriate travel documents, you won't be allowed to enter the country.
According to the U.S. Department of State, visas usually allow stays of up to 30 days. If you want to stay longer, you have to register with Jordanian immigration officials after you arrive. It is very important that you leave Jordan while your visa is still valid.
If you stay in the country on an expired visa, you will be charged a fee of $2.10 for each day you overstay your visa. You must pay the fine before exiting the country.
Jordan visa requirements vary based on the type of visa for which you are applying. Below is a list of items that are commonly required to obtain a visa for travel to Jordan.
Visa requirements can change at any time. For the most up to date requirements, visit the website of the Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Submitting Your Application
If you choose to secure your visa prior to arriving in Jordan, you can submit your application in person at the Jordan Embassy or by mail.
If you submit your application by mail, you must include a prepaid, self-addressed Express Mail or UPS return envelope, so your passport can be returned to you after your visa is issued. FedEx return envelopes will not be accepted.
The average processing time for visa applications submitted by U.S. citizens for travel to Jordan is approximately five business days.
The cost of a single entry Jordan visa valid for one month is $37.50, and the cost of a multiple entry visa valid for six months is $97.50. All visa fees are non-refundable and must be paid by money order.
Visa Service
If you want to make sure you get your visa application right the first time, a professional visa service like "company name" can help.
Visa companies are authorized by foreign embassies and consulates to submit applications on behalf of their clients. They are experts in the application process, and they can help make sure your application is complete and accurate before it is submitted for processing.
Visa services make applying for a visa fast and simple. They have large databases of the most up to date visa requirements for nearly every country in the world, so you can easily identify the items you must provide when applying for your Jordan visa. After you have completed your application, simply send it to the visa company, and they will take care of the rest.
A representative from the visa service will review your application to make sure it is complete and accurate. Then they will submit it to the embassy or consulate for processing. When your visa is issued, it will be mailed to you, so you can leave for your trip as planned.

Newest Family Member0 Comment Published 6:25 AM in Adoption By Rob Dempsey
I never would have thought in my wildest dreams that I would have a baby in my 40's. Well God gave us the awesome opportunity to adotped a foster baby we've had in our home for over a year. Elijah Michael Dempsey. He's 18 months and we have priveledged be be called his forever home.
Many thoughts went through my pea sized brain as we felt the call to be his parents. I asked a few close friends to help me pray through this thing and God's voice seemed very clear.
So, now we have a new generation to raise. As you can see from the picture .... Amy and I have an age gap between all the kids. Wes is 24, Amanda 15, Spencer 8 and now an 18 month old.
Thanks for praying for us in the days ahead. This is a HUGE task God has given me. I desire to be the dad Elijah deserves. Mistakes will happen. But, I want him to clearly see Christ in me and become a strong Christ Follower as he grows.
Urgent Prayer Needed for His Radio1 Comment Published 1:53 PM in By Rob Dempsey
As you may already know ..... I'm one for the folks you hear on His Radio. I work along side Kristin, producer Jim Mann and an amazing team of talented God gifted people both on and off the air.
God has allowed me to be a part of the Christian Radio ministry for over 20 years. It's been amazing to see how HE uses this ministry to impact lives. The fact that listeners financially support this station makes it even more special.
This is the first time I've ever asked any of my friends to pray for a Sharathon in the way I'm going to ask you today.
His Radio needs your prayers and support. We are running behind in our financial goals for the first time in 26 years!
Please, PRAY FOR A MIRACLE! This weekend, Monday and Tuesday needs to be the biggest fundraising days His Radio has ever seen. Also, SHARE this need with as many Facebook friends as you can. Post on your wall, their walls and use your Twitter to get the word out for the urgent call for prayer.
Anyone can make an E-Faith promise go to http://www.hisradio.com/sharathon.php
This Monday morning you can make a difference by CALLING...1-800-447-7234.
Your gift of any size will make a big difference.
Our starting goal was $700,000 or 1,944 new Vision Partners to cover operating expenses.
Our current status stands at 745 Vision Partners or $268,403.03. We still have $431,596.57 or 1,199 Vision Partners to go. We have reached only 38% of our total goal.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for Praying. I know God will hear your prayers.

I'm Gonna Make A Change, For Once In My Life, It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference Gonna Make It Right . . .
As I, Turn Up The Collar On My Favorite Winter Coat This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street, With Not Enough To Eat, Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See, Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard, A Broken Bottle Top, And A One Man's Soul, They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know, 'Cause They Got Nowhere, To Go, That's Why I Want You To Know
I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change
I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize That There Are Some With No Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me, Pretending That They're Not Alone?
A Willow Deeply Scarred, Somebody's Broken Heart And A Washed-Out Dream
They Follow The Pattern Of The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With Me
I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change

Eating Out Can Be Healthy0 Comment Published 2:11 AM in By Rob Dempsey
Who would have thought that working in radio would require travel? Since, I'm in operations and programming I seem to do more traveling every year. Plus, our morning show has grown and is now heard in 8 markets. So, traveling is a part of life.
I've learned in the past 4 years that you CAN eat healthy on the road. More fast food chains are offering healthy choices. You can also order off menu in restaurants. Don't setting for something on the menu if it's not healthy.
I look for grilled chicken, salad, vegetables, fruit and always order water. If they have those items on a menu item then I order simply a piece of grilled chicken, veggies and a house salad with the dressing on the side. It helps me to make it a personal challenge to order something that isn't a menu dish.
You can do it! Eat healthy and treat your God given gift of life right.

Good Friday Ride2 Comments Published 2:00 PM in By Rob Dempsey
I had the morning off and took advantage of it to beat the on coming storms. Today's train called for a 29 mile ride at 20 mph. My legs felt surprisingly good after yesterday's ride over Paris Mountain. Which happened to be over and back 2 times total of 22 miles.
The morning was brisk and windy. Although the Donaldson country ride seems to be kind when the wind is strong. I went early and started peddling at 7:54am.
Once I passed by Micheline I opened up the after burners for some speed. It's been a while since a real hard cycle workout since the past 16 weeks I've focused on Marathon training. This route has some fast stretches and it's easy to get a good 28 to 31 mph. Top speed turned out being 42.7. Downhill of course.
The morning was very still and my mind started focusing on things God has helped me overcome. My childhood wasn't the best with an abusive step-father. The teenage years were the worst with addictions and being forced out of the house because of my behavior. The most recent victory is overcoming obesity and the poor health it brought.
This is my 4th year of living a healthy lifestyle. Today I felt myself grateful to be able to jump on a bike and hammer out 29 miles.
There is a lot to see on this route. It is country in ever sense of the word. Cows, horses, chickens, and a few chasing dogs. Thankfully the dogs are safely behind fences. I saw a hawk, a deer, and 6 vultures (by the deer). Lots of pretty open fields.
This route also passes by two churches. I began to think about the services they'll have and the opportunity to reach the lives of broken people walking into their church for the very first time.
On one stretch you pass by the road clearly marked by a sign that reads "Perry Correctional Facility". The high security prison that holds some toughest South Carolina convicts. I started to think of the prisoners and the mistakes they've made and the price they are paying for their crimes.
I'm not unlike any of them. Like you - I was in prison. But, this prison was the chains of my sin. Yet through all the mess I made of my life... God choose to send His Son to die for me and YOU.
Being a Christ Follower is amazing. I'm so far from perfect and God doesn't care. He'll use broken people like you and me.
"Because of what the Son has done, we have been set free. Because of him, all of our sins have been forgiven." Colossians 1:14
Took home First Place in Marathon Today!1 Comment Published 8:40 AM in By Rob Dempsey
By far was this was not an ordinary marathon. This was the 2009 Mauld-ING marathon. Pre-race festivities were simple and NO LONG LINES at the john. At the starting line the light turned from Red to Green and we were off running the first Mauld-ING marathon.
This is my 5th and best marathon I've ever run in. If you've followed my story then you'll know I was battling an unhealthy lifestyle 4 years ago. I was obese at 308lbs. My good friends at the YMCA, Activate upstate, along with Kristi Arledge, Matt McFadden, and Jeni Schumacher nursed me back to health. They've helped not just learn about health but also gave me the tools needed to become an athlete. I now run Marathons, Triathlons, and cycling in long endurance events.
Today I was supposed to be running in the ING Georgia Marathon in Atlanta. Jeni put together my training plan and I felt ready. This is my way of celebrating turning 42 and best yet celebrating 4 years of being healthy! I dedicate these runs to every person who have helped me along my journey to health.
But, something happened this past week with the health of my 14 year old daughter and even worse our 10 month old foster baby. After a doctors visit our planned trip to Atlanta was canceled. My whole family insisted I go. But, I couldn't. This came down to choosing my FAMILY FIRST. I'm glad I made that decision because our foster baby took a turn for the worse and we had to take him to the ER. Fluids, observation, and test concluded Asthma and the flu.
I mapped out a 26.2 mile course and set with a new birthday gift of a fuel belt for a lone marathon. God had another plan. Ron Jerina from the P3C3 Challenge to Conquer Cancer Ride emailed and said he was coming to ride his bike next to me and give me water and fuel when I needed it. What an awesome soul. I show up this morning to see Ron and a surprise visitor. There was Chris Giordanelli, a local multi-sport athlete. Chris had a race bag filled with goodies like a nice running hat, Gatorade, gels, said it was sponsored by Janis and Chris.
Ron took pre-start pictures, we walked to the stop-light and we were off. 26.2 miles ahead of us. It was a brutal course. 1,300 feet of hills and a 27 mph head wind. Chris paced me the whole way and Ron kept the fluids and gels supplied. Ron also took a lot of pictures. You'll see them soon.
Fast forward to the finish line. Our legs feeling the hills and wind. Ron took more pictures and Chris said wait. The award ceremony began. Chris took a trophy out and medal. Put the medal on me and handed the trophy "FIRST PLACE MAULD-ING MARATHON 3-29-09.
These two men gave up a Sunday morning and made it special for my day of celebrating health! That moved me and I am forever grateful.
I came home to my family. Got hugs. Tears filled my eyes as I count my many blessing today. Thank God for family, friends, and a life of health.
My family better come first - Marthon or no Marathon1 Comment Published 3:48 AM in By Rob Dempsey
Sixteen weeks. That's how long I've been training for the ING Georgia Marathon. It'ss been a good training season. Every training run I've become stronger. I'm ready for the start line. However, something happened.
We've been dealing with sickness this week. Both Amanda, my 14 year old, and our foster baby came down with Strep Throat. Last night the foster baby spiked a high fever. We rushed the little one to urgent care. Walked our 90 minutes later and several prescriptions.
We've decided to stay home this weekend. Which this directly effects the marathon. My family insisted I go. They pleaded I go. but, I cannot. I have to live by my morals and keep my family first.
So, last night I went to http://www.gmap-pedometer.com and mapped out my own Marathon course. So, when the starting line in Atlanta goes - I'll be running right here at home.
WHY run when there is no race synergy. No health fair and the great prices off running gear. No cheering crowds. No water stations. No paramedics. No medal at the end. WHY do a stupid thing like this?
Because this is more than a marathon to me. This is a celebration. Four years ago I was obese at 308 pounds. My friends at the YMCA and Activate Greenville helped me get healthy. This was going to be my 5th marathon. Set on my birthday weekend to thank every person on this journey for helping me overcome the disease. This is a way for me to "THANK YOU GOD" for giving me life.
Family must come first. So, while they sleep Sunday morning... for 3:30 hours I'll be running a little further than a marathon. 26.43 miles. Then get in my car and drive home from the grocery store parking lot in Mauldin I'll stage my lone man marathon start and finish.
Thanks for praying for my kids health as they heal this weekend.

This is how God used His Radio and the Love Dare Challenge to speak to us in such a powerful way and to mend our broken marriage0 Comment Published 1:45 AM in By Rob Dempsey
This is an email I recieved at His Radio. Very powerful story that will give hope to any broken marraige. ~Rob
Hi…I'm Brandie and I've taken the His Radio Love Dare Challenge. I never in a million years would have guessed that God would use such a small challenge in such a powerful way.My husband and I, after only being married just a little over 2 years hit a very difficult time in our short marriage. At the age of 25, I never thought I would be saying the words separation and divorce, but I was. My husband had decided that he no longer wanted to be with me. He was hurt, tired and worn down. This hit me like a brick, and left me being desperate, lonely and broken. So I set off to try and resolve this big problem that we were facing, thinking that I just needed to stay in control. I bought us books and we even went to Christian marriage counseling, but nothing seem to be working and he still wanted out. Finally, my last effort to save our marriage was the Love Dare. I started it with a very heavy heart and a crushed spirit. I was devastated that this was happening to us and couldn't believe that God was allowing it. Completing the dares and all the aspects that the dares entailed was a very difficult task when I wasn't getting anything back. And then I got to the Dare about unconditional Love and my outlook changed. After reading that, I wanted to love my husband with "God's Kind of Love"..Agape love which is unconditional. And I set out to do just that.
God showed me through that one Dare and through many others along the way, that love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing love. And the only way that love can last a lifetime is if it's unconditional.
While on this journey, God showed me that I wasn't giving all of myself to Him and wasn't giving Him my very Best. I know that so many times I was leaving Him feeling broken and lonely, just as I was feeling. I wasn't letting Him take full control of my life and my marriage. He had to teach me that He loves us…not because we deserve it..but because he chooses to love us….He is the designer and maker of Agape Love. We love, because He first loved us" which is laid out for us in 1 John 4:19 Through all of this, I feel that His ultimate goal was to bring myself and my husband closer to Him…and that HE did. My new life verse became
Proverbs 3:5-Trust in Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding….in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight!! About two weeks ago, in the midst of continuing my Love Dare Challenges, my husband came home and as soon as I saw him…I knew that God had answered my prayers. He was a changed man of God. My miracle had arrived and God had mended my broken marriage. He had told me that God had spoken to him in a mighty way and he knew that first and foremost he wasn't where he needed to be with the Lord and knew that he had a lot of work to do strenghthening his relationship with Him. And 2nd he knew that I was the one that God had sent for him. And that he was ready to love me as God intended. Wow..I had been waiting to hear those words for what seemed like for ever!
God is so good and His grace and mercy are sufficient. I know that we are not completely out of the woods yet and we will probably have to work at our marriage for the rest of our lives, but I truly feel like we have put God back where he belongs, in the center of our lives and marriage and in full control. I couldn't be more thankful to God for what all He has done and for the miracle he has performed in our lives! And I thank God for using something as simple as His Radio and the Love Dare to speak to us in such a powerful way."

MADRID, Spain - Stan Wawrinka has an outside shot at doing something very, very big at the Mutua Madrid Open this week - something no one outside the Big Four has done in almost 12 years.
If Wawrinka wins the Masters 1000 tournament and Novak Djokovic loses before the quarterfinals, Wawrinka will move past Djokovic for the No.2 ranking, which would be a new career-high for him.
But there's more.
Wawrinka would be the first non-Big Four player in the Top 2 since the week of July 18, 2005.
The Big Four has had a total monopoly on the Top 2 since the week of July 25, 2005.
That's right, no one other than the Big Four - Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray - has been ranked inside the Top 2 on the ATP World Tour rankings since the week of July 18, 2005. Lleyton Hewitt was No.2 that week, and Nadal bumped him out the week after.
If Wawrinka doesn't do it this week, there's still hope for him at Roland Garros, where Djokovic will be defending title points (and Wawrinka semifinal points). They both lost early at Wimbledon last year.
But the window could be closing with Federer and Nadal both surging back towards the top of the rankings right now. Could one of them jump past Wawrinka to keep the Big Four's Top 2 streak alive?
For now, though, all eyes are on Madrid. Djokovic and Wawrinka will play their opening matches on Wednesday, with Djokovic facing Nicolas Almagro and Wawrinka taking on Benoit Paire.
Tune in to Tennis Channel all week for coverage from the Spanish capital (check the listings here!)

An insider's view of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon
Posted: 6 February 2017 Time: 19:20
KICK OFF's Lovemore Moyo paints a picture of his experiences of Gabon as his coverage of the 2017 African Nations Cup draws to a close.
Just over a week has passed since I arrived in Gabon for my first ever visit to this tropical rainforest country.
The expected challenge of communication has prevailed due to my severe limitations in French, which is the official language of communication in this nation whose long stretch of incomplete buildings has caught my immediate attention from Libreville to Port Gentil down to deep in the equatorial forest in Franceville.
Apparently the reason for these unfinished concrete structures is that someone 'ate or ran away' with the tender money abandoning the project before its completion.
What is shocking is that these incomplete buildings are then just left standing like that for eternity.
Getting into Gabon from Johannesburg via commercial flights is courtesy of an SAA flight to Cotonou, Benin which stops over in Libreville before proceeding over the Gulf of Guinea into West Africa.
The state of the airport in Libreville named after the country's first president Leon Mba provides the first hint of the 'downgrade' in general conditions which will greet you for most of your stay in this country whose currency is the XAF (Central African Franc).
The XAF is a currency used across six countries across Central Africa – Gabon, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Chad, Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville). It trades at one Rand to 23 XAF.
Standard fast food franchises like KFC, Nandos and McDonalds just don't exist in this part of the world where a movie house is also not known.
For those with alcoholic preferences, Regab is the local beer of choice with whisky and brandy also available though the options are obviously dependant on the size of your wallet. Gabon is generally considered to be expensive in this regard.
Then the fact that in this country they drive on the right takes some getting used to whether you are on the steering wheel or a mere pedestrian looking to cross the streets.
On weekends the beach front in Libreville is always lively with alcohol sold freely like soft drinks because from what I gathered public drinking is not a crime. They have thirsty throats here and know how to gulp!
The main shopping centre in the capital city is called Mbolo and it is actually a supermarket surrounded by tiny shops.
Despite the construction of all the stadiums in this country football is dead, with the local top-flight league said to be wallowing in crisis leaving doubts to what will happen with all the stadiums that have been built.
Port Gentil – where a beautiful stadium has been built – has no football team worth making noise about besides groups that meet for weekend games.
Linked to the rest of the country by a 25-minute flight or four hours on a boat, Port Gentil is the place where I heard South African house band Mi-Casa blasting out from the car of a guy who told me that he studied in Cape Town.
Inland is a place I prefer to refer to as a growth point as it doesn't qualify to be referred to as a town. It is called Franceville and truth be told it has a dungeon feel to it situated between a stretch of hills separated by rivers right in the middle of the rainforest.
Besides the impressive stadium and few hotels built ahead of the 2012 AFCON finals there is absolutely nothing else that looks good on the eye. It is a place where there is absolutely nothing happening besides the sight of the green vegetation which would leave anyone from a farming region green with envy. The place is either hot and humid or just raining.
Gabon is also the land of a man called Ali Bongo – the Gabonese president who is far from being as popular as his late father Omar Bongo who the locals still claim was actually adopted in Nigeria as a child.
Story for another day.
Au revoir!

Criminal Sentencing
Hazel Hamm
Juvenile Justice: CRJ301
Saundra McDavid
March 26, 2012
Criminal Sentencing
A major issue in criminal justice is sentencing. Sentencing is the process by which judges impose punishment on a person convicted of a crime or crimes (Wallace 2012). After, a person is convicted of a crime, whether through a guilty plea, plea bargain, or jury verdict, the appropriate legal punishment is determined at the sentencing phase. Sentencing usually takes place almost immediately after convictions for infractions and minor misdemeanors, or when a defendant has pled guilty. "In the United States today, there is no standard when it comes to sentencing and punishment." This area of the criminal justice system is one that is in constant flux. Sentencing practices and goals are always under scrutiny, from getting tough on crime to more rehabilitative approaches, the views and goals of sentencing are ever changing. When examining criminal sentencing one must first understand the basic theories associated with the punishments given to criminals. There are five main goals/ theories behind criminal sentencing: retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and restoration. In the United States, we believe punishment is necessary to maintain order and show fairness to those who do not violate the rules and laws we live by. "Punishment is used on many different levels, we use it from the basics to teach children right from wrong, and we use it as a means to deal with societies most despicable offenders." Punishment in this sense also serves as retribution. Retribution is the idea that someone should be punished based on what they did. Today there are many things the criminal justice system aims to do by imposing punishments and sentences. Goals of punishment have moved from satisfying the victim, as in early days, to more of a broad scale. Because punishment and sentencing encompass many ideas and somewhat...

In term 4, Year 5 students investigated light energy.
They discovered that light travels in straight lines and that light can be reflected, refracted and absorbed.
To complete this unit, students were challenged to make a light maze using laser lights to hit a target. Using their knowledge of reflection and how light travels, students designed a maze that required a light to be reflected at least three times and be reflected to different level before it hit a target. The imagination and creativity were excellent. Here are some of the more successful mazes.

This year at LGF, we will be taking a look at the senior class of some Louisiana high schools and taking a look at their potential to play at the next level. Categories for each position are measured on a 1-10 scale, with 10 being well above average and 1 being well below average. We continue with the senior class of Archbishop Rummel High school.
Erik Piedy DB 6-0 175lbs
Good coverage corner. Is at his best when he can press at the line. Looks for the ball when in phase and doesn't panic when not in phase. Average speed. Good ball skills. Future Outlook: FCS/D2 CB
Ja'marr Chase WR 6-1
Good footwork at the line to beat man coverage. Very good speed. Runs away from the defense. Good size and speed to be a prototypical WR. Good hands and attacks the ball at its highest point. Runs OK routes. Future Outlook: D1 WR
Aaron Brule S 6-2 200lbs
Listed as safety but they like to move him all over the field. Has size to play in the box and the speed to play dep. Good instincts. Plays well against the run and pass. Future Outlook: D1 S
Shane Brotherton LB 5-10 205lbs
Gets into the backfield often to stop run plays and quick screens. Diagnoses plays quickly. Think his size may work against him at the next level. If coverage skills improve, he should move to safety. Future Outlook: D2/D3 S
Keirell Jackson RB 5-6 185lbs
See's hole and hits hole. Tough to bring down on first contact. Elusive. Good speed. Did not see him catch many passes out of the backfield. Will need to improve pass pro. Future Outlook: D1/FCS RB
Evan Francioni WR 6-0 180lbs
Good hands. Possession/slot receiver. Good blocker on the perimeter. Decent speed. Runs the scramble drill really well to help his QB. Future Outlook: FCS/D2 WR
Glen Thurmond DL 6-0 250lbs
One gap, run-stopping DT. Just OK rushing the passer, better against the run. Good athlete. Needs to lower pad level to get more power against blockers. Future Outlook: D2/D3 DT
Jermie Walker WR 6-0 160lbs
Return specialist. Hands are OK. Needs to work on releases off the line. Also needs to get stronger. Decent speed. Future Outlook: D3 WR
Ronald Ross OL 6-0
Good size and strength. Moves his man back when blocking. May have the athleticism to move to OT at the next level but will have to work on his technique.
Future Outlook: D2 OL
