Addressing the Recent Drama
As you may or may not know, Vintage Penguin has been involved in some recent drama over the past few days. There is a group of people, of whom we won't mention, who have malicious intents towards the CPPS community. These people tend to target all Private Servers, and suspicion rose when we weren't included in their "list." Apparently, even more suspicion rose when our other owner, Itay, tweeted out, "Not Today ;)" at one of the recent threats made by this group. Our Owner was simply assuring that this community, the Club Penguin Community, won't die today. We are an amazing community, we have been together for so long, and we are not about to lose this community. As a result of these suspicions, people were accusing us of making direct deals with this group to perform malicious actions. I had no part in this drama and was unaware of anything before people started making accusations, so, inevitability, Itay was the suspect. Itay and I started working on Vintage Penguin back in 2015 or 2014, I can't recall very clearly. We had a projected release of much earlier, but we kept changing our minds on era, style, and how our server would be unique from others. We have worked on Vintage Penguin for so long, that I could just not believe that Itay would have any part in this. Especially since Itay…has been drifting away from Vintage Penguin to focus more on his personal matters, such as school and his future. I decided to "interrogate" him with questions based on his recent Tweets and opinions of this group. The conversation went along like this (briefly): .
Itay and I have been good friends for so long, there is no way Itay would've ever committed to a deal such as this. He wants Vintage Penguin to be at its best. Usually when I receive messages from him, they are positive and say things such as… "I'm so glad we made Vintage Penguin. Even though it may be small, I just enjoy interacting with the players." In conclusion, Itay did not make any deals with this group, and these were most likely all false accusations. Although we may be a server that not many know of, we hope that you will still support us all the way through the journey.

If you are reading and wondering who Danso Sakyi is, he is King George from the popular Ghanaian TV series; YOLO! Affectionately called Chiiief. Yes he is definitely one of your favorite characters in the most successful TV series of our time.
Which of them has chalked the amount of success Chiiief has chalked in recent times?
He hasn't just made a name for himself but also made UEW and the Department of Theatre Arts proud. He is part of the team that has resurrected an almost dead movie industry and given hope to writers and directors of TV series in the country not forgetting up and coming actors and actresses.
He was the host of Teen Sports and Teen talk on Skyy Digital TV 2009 to 2010 and 2009 to 2012 respectively, he also hosted Opinion Wave on Radio Midas 2012 to 2013.
In 2013 he began hosting a social media-heavy show named SOTIVI on Viasat 1 which he did till 2015 and then came his biggest win yet, a role in arguably the best Ghanaian TV series so far where he played the amazing role of 'King George' you don't need a degree in movie directing to know that he nailed his role.
Before this breakthrough he committed his voice for a jingle for handset giants – Huawei in 2015, in 2016 he played another amazing role in a stageplay titled "The Class", he also was the lead actor for the "Women in Politics" Ad for the Ministry of Women & Children Affairs – before you stop wooowing he also was the host for the National Population Council & the office of the Second Lady of the Republic of Ghana Adolescent Reproductive Health Week and the FanMilk "FanMaxx FuelYourDay" Launch – MC with Berla Mundi all in 2017. I'm sure you have spotted him on the giant King Cracker Biscuits billboards!
Fasten your seat belts! He also won the Best Actor, Supporting Role at the 2016 Ghana Movie Awards. He has also won some recognitions from NUGS and SRC in UEW and just recently his play titled "YOU RAPED ME" which tackles the issues of rape culture was staged in the Amu Theatre to critical acclaim of audience and lecturers alike.
This is but just a few of "French Mon-tana's" achievements in a time that most guys his age are just thinking about six packs and getting Facebook likes.
The point is we need to celebrate our own, projecting Danso Sakyi wouldn't just show the world how proud the school is about one of the best talents it has ever produced but it will also be a motivation for current and future students.

Volleyball: Northwestern loses heartbreaker to Maryland, struggles in loss to Ohio State
October 15, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
CHICAGO — It was a tale of two Northwesterns this weekend.
Friday, the Wildcats (12-8, 2-6 Big Ten) played well against Maryland (14-6, 3-5) but fell in a heartbreaking five-set loss 34-36, 25-23, 24-26, 25-22, 17-15.
Saturday, NU — which played both games at McGrath-Phillips Arena in Chicago — was thoroughly outplayed and outclassed as Ohio State (11-8, 4-4) won in a sweep 25-13, 25-18, 25-15.
"I was happy on the way we fought in (Friday's match) but totally disappointed in (Saturday's) match against Ohio State," coach Shane Davis said.
In Friday's contest, the Cats and Terrapins went back and forth all night and neither team won a set by more than three points.
"That was the closest five-set match I have ever played," said senior setter Taylor Tashima, who had a career-high 62 assists.
The evenness between the two teams was apparent from the start. In the marathon first set won by NU, there were 13 match point situations and neither team could string together a run of more than four points.
The match came down to the wire in the winner-take-all fifth set. After a kill by senior outside hitter Symone Abbott tied the score at 15-15, Maryland rattled off two consecutive points to secure the victory.
"When we lost we were just all like, 'Did we really just lose that set?,'" freshman middle hitter Alana Walker said. "It was just the fact we had so much confidence, so much energy and we were going back and forth and we really thought we would come out strong."
Abbott and freshman outside hitter Nia Robinson were both on fire against Maryland. Abbott tied a career-high with 29 kills and Robinson's 25 kills were the most in her career.
The following day, NU looked like a completely different team. The Cats could not sustain a rhythm against the Buckeyes on offense and had trouble communicating.
Abbott and Robinson had only seven kills with 16 errors in 45 attack attempts. In the third set, Davis benched Abbott, who is currently in fifth place in program history for career kills.
"It was clear early on she was not ready to go and so instead of letting that ride through like we normally have, it was time to make a change and put her on the bench," Davis said.
Sophomore outside hitter Allie Lindroth replaced Abbott in the lineup and had two kills in the third set.
Going forward, Davis said he'd like to see the team improve its culture. He also said to expect some changes in personnel.
Walker, who had eight kills, one solo block and two block assists Saturday, said if the Cats came out with more energy, the result may have been different.
"If you have energy and you are talking and you are loud and you are having fun it changes the game completely," Walker said. "I just wish we would bring that every game, because I think if we would have brought that this entire game I think it would have been a different result."
Though Davis was unsure if Friday's emotional loss affected NU the next day, he said it did not matter.
"If they want to play in the Big Ten, if they want to play for Northwestern, then they have to be ready to go," Davis said. "They have to be able to manage those emotions and be prepared to play. They need to expect a little bit more out of one another and themselves."

HAGERSTOWN - Her father quit school after the sixth grade. Her mother made it through ninth grade, setting a pattern for her two older siblings.
Six months before her father died, when Rhonda Gasche was 17, she wanted to quit school, too. Only her father's heartfelt pleas changed her mind.
"He realized education was important," Gasche said. "He had no idea that his cotton-topped third child would one day stand on this stage as a college graduate addressing distinguished faculty, respected professors, loving families and fellow graduates."
Gasche spoke at Kaplan College's fall 2008 commencement Saturday morning at North Hagerstown High School. One-hundred-twenty-seven graduates received certificates and degrees from the allied health, business, computer technology and legal divisions.

With an open mind and curiousity I follow new knowledge and trends in classical guitar making. I am fascinated by the evolution of this instrument, which is only 150 years young. As a guitar maker I want to face the challenge of extending and refining existing achievements in this craft. I also want to contribute in the recognition of the guitar as a contemporary concert instrument.
I was born in Berlin on the 1st of January 1976 and grew up in this wonderful and unconventional city. When I was 12 years old my parents gave me a classical guitar and, quickly, I was fascinated by its sound and its simple yet perfect shape.
During my studies in agriculture I spent a lot of time in libraries. That is where a copy of Roy Courtnall's "Making Master Guitars" fell into my hands. This was a very inspiring moment in my life.
In my one-room student apartment I made my first guitar. Looking back, it wasn't particularily beautiful, but it sounded better than any guitar I could afford at that time.
I contacted Roy Courtnall and, shortly after, was on my way to England to study with him at Newark College. So I learned how to make classical guitars in the traditional way. During my studies I was also instructed by Tony Johnson, Malachy Brady and James Lister. I also visited Paul Fischer's and Gary Southwell's workshops.
In 2006 I graduated from International Guitar Making School (Newark College). I received a diploma with distinction and was awarded the Ashley Mark Publishing Prize (Classical Guitar Magazine UK) for being the best in my graduation class. After that I took the opportunity to acquire a deeper knowledge in the art of restoration and repair at Newark School of Violin Making. There I met my wife, the violin maker Thilde van Norel. In 2007 we moved to Berlin. We have two children and share a workshop in Kreuzberg.
After all this experience I still have this one desire: To build the next guitar – and to make it even better.
I have worked as a self-employed guitar maker since 2007. My workshop is in the heart of Berlin, in the beautiful district of Kreuzberg. Here I work with my wife, the violin maker Thilde van Norel.
Each instrument is handmade in the traditional way. Like the forefather of traditional guitar making, Antonio de Torres, I use a Solera (a special profiled workboard).
All the tonewood I use is well matured, of highest quality and has been stored in my workshop for several years. For each instrument I craft decoration like rosettes or ornamental headstock carvings individually by hand. The use of traditional tools is an important aspect in my work.
I prefer to french polish the surface of the instrument with shellac. Traditional violin varnishes (oil-and spirit varnish) and also oiled surfaces (e.g. for the neck) are optional.
My waiting list for restoration and repairs is full. Therefore, unfortunately, I will not take any orders for repair and restoration work for the time being. However, for instruments that are rare or of high value, I might make an exception. In any case I will glady recommend a competent colleague.
If you want to order an instrument, we will determine all your wishes and expectations for your new guitar in a detailed conversation.
The waiting period is approximatly 12 to 18 months. Feel free to contact me personally for current prices.
I charge a 10% deposit of the full price with the order. I request another 10% (30% with custom models) when I start building your instrument. The remainder is payable with the handing over of the finished guitar, in cash or via bank transfer in advance.
I will keep you up to date with the development of the project and endeavour to deliver by the agreed date. However, it may happen that I will have to postpone the delivery. I will contact you in time to arrange a pick-up date at my workshop. Shipping, e.g. through FedEx, is possible but not included and requires receipt of the full payment.
Return Policy
It is very important to me that each customer is absolutely satisfied with the instrument. Therefore I offer a two week trial period during which you can test your guitar extensively. If it doesn't satisfy your expectations, you can return the guitar and I will refund the cost less the original deposit. Custom models cannot be returned.
Education and Internship
Unfortunately, I do not have the capacity for apprentices or interns in my workshop. Sometimes I don't even find the time to respond appropriately to all the requests. Therefore I advise everyone, who considers becoming a guitar maker, to get an insight at the subject in advance, take a look at reference books, maybe make a first guitar as a leisure project. After that you will have a better understanding of what it really means to build an instrument. You should also be aware that this process, with all its facets, will have to be repeated many times.
Only then you should start looking for a suitable apprenticeship. Most guitar makers don't take any apprentices. Instrument making schools are a good alternative. There you can learn the craft in an inspiring atmosphere and in close dialogue with many other motivated people.

One of the secrets of professional bodybuilders is that human growth hormone, or HGH as it is more commonly known, is better than any steroid or illegal drug. Better yet, the body produces its own supply of human growth hormone under certain situations. Those conditions naturally occur whenever a bodybuilder uses proper strength training techniques paired with proper rest cycles and a hard-core diet. This is all true, but a true bodybuilder probably has a secret: a bodybuilding HGH booster that is sold over the counter.
A bodybuilding HGH booster is a product that is designed to augment one's natural efforts to produce elevated amounts of human growth hormones. A good bodybuilding HGH booster will use the body's natural glands to help produce by sending them the same chemical signals that the body itself uses. These chemical signals tell the glands that it is 'go time' when it comes to producing human growth hormone, but there is another problem to contend with: fuel.
All bodybuilders know that they are what they eat, and thus a bodybuilding HGH booster is effectively worthless if it does not supply the proper chemical components to help the body produce human growth hormone. Of course, bodybuilders are already ingesting massive quantities of useful proteins and healthy fat-derived acids, both of which are essential to human growth hormone production, but a good bodybuilding HGH booster will take this a step further and offer a supplemental value as well. After all, the body cannot produce human growth hormone with nothing but hopes and dreams.
The key to finding a quality bodybuilding booster is to look for a company that is not shy when it comes to their return policy. Some vendors simply sell bodybuilding HGH booster kits or products but do not back them up with any kind of satisfaction guarantee, and these vendors should be avoided. Instead, look for vendors such as Sytropin that offer 90-day money back guarantees and seem to have legions of loyal customers.
Sytropin is also worth mentioning because it is an all-natural solution with no negative side effects. This means that stronger bones and muscles plus more cardio output are easily possible without troublesome side effects, and numerous professional reviews seem to back those claims up. Anyone who is serious about taking their bodybuilding to the next level owes it to themselves to check out a highly-rated bodybuilding HGH booster such as Sytropin as soon as possible. The effects are nearly immediate and very notable, and that can translate into a much more impressive physique in only a few cycles.

Doublet Antenna
This is my favorite multi-band dipole. It is often confused and called a variety of names, the most common is probably "Zepp," or "center-fed Zepp." Other names include the "tuned doublet" and "dipole with tuned feeders." This is essentially a dipole cut for the lowest frequency of interest and fed with 450 ohm ladder line. An antenna tuner with a built in balun matches the feed-line impedance to the 50-Ω coax to your radio.
Unfortunately, this antenna is widely misunderstood. Let's clarify a few points—perhaps we'll even debunk a few myths in the process:
1. Ladder line is used because of its inherent
low loss at HF. It does not radiate (assuming proper balance),
nor does
2. High SWR on a transmission line merely
increases line losses relative to those of the matched line. It does
not degrade
3. Any power that is not dissipated in the feed line, tuner or transmitter is radiated by the antenna.
4. It is a multi-band antenna and will transmit on whatever frequency it is cut for, and above.
5. You can get gain from this antenna on the higher frequencies. (multiple wavelenghts)
The Doublet can be remarkably efficient, despite the relatively high SWR along its feed line. The secret is the ladder line's low loss.
Do not install a balun between the ladder line and antenna; they are both balanced already!
The antenna length should be about a half wavelength at the lowest frequency of interest for best results.
Typical lengths for an antenna constructed with stranded, jacketed copper wire: (wire gauge is not critical for this formula)
160m overall length - 254' or 127' per side.
There is no magic feed-line length; however, a slight adjustment may be required for your particular installation. Remember, the feed-line impedance varies along a mismatched line. If your tuner has difficulty on some bands or you experience "RF in the shack," add or subtract 1/8 wavelength (for the troublesome band) of feed line. You may need to repeat this if other bands are difficult to tune, but a little perseverance will fix them all.
Advantages of the Doublet include all-band coverage, minimal weight and low cost. Twisting the ladder line helps stabilize it in windy environments. I generally twist it 180° for every two feet or so.
Disadvantages are the expense of a tuner and the need to retune when changing frequency or bands. Ladder line lacks the convenience of coax. (You must keep it away from metallic objects by at least twice its width—about two inches for one-inch-spaced 450-Ω line.)

Eight Random Things about Me
Labels: lists
journey of life and faith
Labels: lists
There's a new study out that you might find interesting. It's titled "Explaining the Relation Between Birth Order and Intelligence."
The NY Times has an article about it.
Hmm, fascinating! I have always found birth order interesting. It's nice to have a study prove that I'm the smartest. **Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle...** But!
1. Hmmm, a problem. If this is the case, why did you always score better than I did on the ACT and PSAT etc. etc.? I'm no slouch, but I think you just might edge me out on the IQ charts. Maybe it's because you're a man. This study was all about men. Which brings me to...
2. Why on earth was this study limited to men, especially since the article notes that gender doesn't affect intelligence? Was it just to reduce another variable? If so, why not study a group of women? Because I don't think the "women's hormones screw up our studies" excuse works here. Sheesh, enough with the all-male studies already! I don't think Dr. Kristin reads this, but maybe someone could pass on to her the suggestion that she design an all-female study. About something other than hormone-replacement drugs. Ha. That'll show 'em.
Nonetheless, very interesting. I do like that birth order stuff. I'd like to see the follow-up - how can we give our poor later-borns the same advantages?
I love your timer idea. I find housework overwhelming because:
a. we have a yellow lab who sheds her weight in fur at least daily.
b. By the time I'm done picking up everyone else's stuff I feel I've already cleaned.
c. It takes the whole day to do and then when I'm done the dog sheds, the husband leaves crumbs, the teenager deposits whatever she brought home with her, and the baby spreads anything in reach to wherever it dosen't belong. :)
Your timers are cute. You baby is definately adorable and is much cuter that the timers :) Karla
Okay, Meiks... Here's my list-request from you...
11 things (anxieties and/or excitements, realities, etc.) about your trip back to the states.
And I think I'm going to seriously have to consider your chore/timer thinger... I'm actually paying someone to clean my house once every three weeks, but MAN - does it get dirty in the in between time... and I really should be able to find time to do the random chore... My problem is that I'm okay with the daily stuff... it's the stuff that should be done once a month or so that I just NEVER get to... Hmmm... Seriously considering the 15 minute rule...
Tada! I've finished my task! Check it!
Ok, I did my list too. I guess the ninth fact is that I don't really like to follow the rules:) And maybe I like procrastinating a little too much...
To answer your inquiry about the picture on my blog, it seems that they store those silly road men very close to our house, so we stopped for a photo opt one day.

Animal Farm Visits UPS from Animal Farm on Vimeo.
Animal Farm Foundation is committed to building safe and humane communities. They visited the UPS in Poughkeepsie, New York, to teach their delivery staff about dog safety and behavior.
That's a cute idea.. but owners should not allow their dogs to be in that position. Yes, the treats MAY work.. or they may not.. they won't know until it's too late.
I think some dog behavior training for delivery drivers is a good thing.. freaking out over every loose dog is not worth it. Some dogs don't care one bit about treats though.

Hi everyone. Today I'd like to tell you about my progress with the study I'm doing! So if you're curious about that, keep on reading!
I said it a couple of times before but I'm studying Business Economics. I'm in my first year now. I live in The Netherlands so after High School, everyone will be studying. That is a common thing here. I choose the study Business Economics because I was (am) really good in Economics and Maths (I will get that subject in about 2 weeks and I'm so excited for it! #nerd) and it also interests me a lot!
I have to say, this study is not easy! I almost survived my first half year and I have to work really hard for it. Luckily, I like the study A LOT.
I live 2 hours away from the school I'm studying at and I'm travelling to it every day. (well, I have school 4 days a week, so actually 4 days) That takes a lot of energy away from my what means that I'm actually always tired, haha!
As some of you may know, I'm in my exam weeks at the moment. It's luckily almost done (my last exam is on Friday) so I can finally breathe normally again! I have one of the hardest subjects on Thursday, Law. It is such a difficult subject and I practically need to know everything that is written in the books! Well, okay, I hope I will survive that.
I hope I can keep blogging this week, but if I don't, y'all know why there will be no blogpost online!
I hope I informed you a bit more about my studying progress and about my study itself. I always keep you a little up to date on my instagram, so make sure to follow me there.
If you have anymore questions about this subject, please let me know! I wish you all a great week!
Love, Anne ♥

For more than 20 years, Ronald Fowlkes has helped to develop and deliver some of the world's best quality gear for departments that work in the security sector. He previously served with the IWT Group in the capacity of dealing with its sales and development of its business, and he now works with Eagle Industries as its Manager of Business Development. He also works with FirstSpear as its Director of Business Development. His main duties revolve around him working with professionals within Law Enforcement and Military departments to better understand how to market the creative designs of the First Spears Product Development Group.
Ronald Fowlkes writes many different articles that he publishes on his Medium account, and these articles represent his many varied interests. As a coach of a youth league and a avid hockey fan, he has published some interesting articles related to hockey including one about how "Jeff Glass Finally Gets to the NHL," and another asking the question "Is Fighting Becoming Obsolete in NHL?" In the latter article, he puts a spotlight on how fighting has always been a tradition in the NHL and how it is, unfortunately, losing its potency and effectiveness in the sport.
Ronald Fowlkes got started in the business he is in now during a time when he was working with the U.S. Marine Corps. During those days he kept recognizing FirstSpear's gear in the equipment him and his partners were using. He noticed that it was brilliantly designed and that it managed to survive the heavy use it received. He went on to join the SWAT team in St. Louis and realized that it was using a lot of the same equipment. This is when he decided to learn more about the company that was based in his hometown. He now uses his first-hand knowledge about the equipment made by FirstSpear to sell it to others.
Ronald Fowlkes brings ideas to life through working with his team, and, in fact, he has always believed in the power of teamwork. His business development team works very closely with local and state law enforcement as well as the DOD to ensure that the equipment they create meets the necessary requirements. He has commented on the fact that many of the ideas used to build their equipment comes directly from people who have actually used it in the field. He accredits his company's internal Research and Development team with taking the requirements that need to be met and creating the kind of equipment that does so. Ronald Fowlkes looks forward to continuing to help to create some of the best equipment in the world.

It was so valuable to offer the ability to participate via livestream. I was able to gather a group of staff, who typically don't work in the broader scope of Public Health, and watch the presentation together. We had much discussion as a result!
The registration for this training has moved. Please use this link to access this training. You may need to create a new account for the new site.
21st Century Oil & Gas Development & Public Health
This training is designed for public health professionals interested in understanding the shale oil development process, and its impact on public health.
Developed through a collaboration between the Rocky Mountain Public Health Training Center and Resolve, a national nonprofit working to build strong, enduring solutions to environmental, social, and health challenges, the toolkit serves as an online training companion to the Community Health and Shale Development Guidebook.
With the recent boom in shale energy development in the United States, local public health officials and other stakeholders are often seeking information and guidance on the health issues that could accompany development in their communities. Learn about the process of shale oil development, research on health impacts, and the ways that you, a public health professional, can actively engage on the issue in your community.
The toolkit includes:
- Introductory video providing a brief overview of the development process and impacts on health
- Module 1 – information on the five stages of development and what the developers are doing at each stage.
- Module 2 - information on the impact of shale development on air quality; water quality and quantity; quality of life; safety; and disease – as well as what you can do.
The toolkit is designed so that you may move around and access the topics of greatest interest to you, or take the full training and receive a Certificate of Completion. The toolkit also contains links to the Community Health and Shale Development Guidebook and other valuable resources.

Ex-principal butchered by houseboy
A former Principal of St. Monica Training College at Asante Mampong in the Ashanti Region, Mrs. Lucy Peprah Tawiah, was on Saturday, butchered with a cutlass by her houseboy at her residence at Abelemkpe in Accra.
Three others, including two house helps, also sustained injuries when they attempted to rescue Mrs. Tawiah from the suspect, Osman Yakubu, a Burkina Faso national.
Yakubu was arrested by the police after the incident and is assisting in investigation.
The house helps, only identified as Micheal and Roland, are at the Police Hospital receiving treatment, while Ronnie Djanison,a taxi driver who entered the house to rescue them, has since been treated and a discharged.
Information gathered by the The Ghanaian Times revealed that the suspect believed the other house helps had been gossiping about him to Mrs. Tawiah.
The Tesano District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Edward Tetteh, confirmed the tragedy to The Ghanaian Times in Accra yesterday.
He said at about 10pm on November 12, the police had information that Yakubu had attacked Mrs. Tawiah and other occupants of the house.
DSP Tetteh stated that night police patrol teams from Tesano and Kotobabi police proceeded to the scene to intervene.
He said when they got to the house, the suspect had barricaded himself in one of the rooms but they managed to overpower and arrested him.
The Commander said the injured were rushed to the Police Hospital for medical treatment while the body of the deceased had been deposited at the same hospital for autopsy.

Can any of the Discovery developers discuss the areas of potential instability? I like Discovery and I'm using it. I don't see much detail in terms of roadmap-type documents in the CVS repository, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough? I remember a lot of the architectural discussions before Discovery was moved out of the sandbox, but I thought that most of those had been addressed already...

"Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." (John 12:24)
What does a farmer do when he's got a barren field that's producing no income? He doesn't complain about it. He doesn't even often pray about it! He just goes out and starts planting some seed, because nothing is going to happen until he plants the seed. He can pray all he wants, but it's not going to produce fruit. He's got to plant some seed.
Some of you think you're waiting on God. You think you're waiting on God for that job. You think you're waiting on God for a husband. You think you're waiting on God for the windfall. God says, "You think you're waiting on me? I'm waiting on you! I'm waiting for you to plant a seed."
Everything in life starts as a seed — a relationship, a marriage, a business, a church. And nothing happens until the seed is planted. Why does God require us to plant a seed? Because planting is an act of faith. You take what you've got, and you give it away. That takes an act of faith! And it brings glory to God.
Jesus described this principle of sowing and reaping when he was trying to explain why he came to Earth to die on the cross. In John 12:24 Jesus said, "Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds" (NIV). Jesus was saying, "Millions of people will be saved and go to Heaven because of my death and Resurrection. I'm going to plant a seed, and the seed is going to be my life."
Here's the principle of sowing and reaping: Whenever you have a need, you plant a seed. Whatever it is you need — more time, more energy, more money, more support, more relationships, more wisdom, just plant a seed. If you need more time, give more time to your kids. If you need more money, give it away to someone who needs it. If you need more wisdom, share what wisdom you have with others. Give yourself away!
It may not make sense to you to give away something that you need more of, but that is exactly the kind of attitude that God wants to bless and that will produce fruit in your life. When you have a need, don't gripe about it, don't wish about it, and you don't even have to pray about it, just plant a seed.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the miracle of seeds, everything that is alive started out as seeds. I praise you for the miracle of life which you bring forth from the seeds we plant. Please bless the seeds that we plant, seeds of hope, seeds of love and especially the seeds that we plant about trusting You Lord. I thank you for giving me the heart and desire to be a sower of seeds… please continue to bless this ministry and the precious souls that you reach through it.
I am truley amazed Lord that what started out as a seed to start this ministry has blossomed into nearly 3000 views each day from over 30 countries. You are so good God. Thank you for loving each and everyone of us…in your glorious name Amen.
Considder each and everyone of these devotions as a seed that has been sown. As you read along, Gods scriptures are being planted in your heart like seeds. I have the confidence and the faith that a harvest is being sown and that the miracle of these seeds will continue to multiply. One seed can produce tens of thousands of trees over time.. the next time you hold a seed, know you are holding a miracle from God in your hand.
If you are seperated from God, I pray that you come to know Jesus or come back to Jesus today. Click Here to learn how.

Term 2 Inquiry
This term all the learners in Learning Hub 2 are getting into science! We will be looking at the environment around us to inspire our inquiry. We are lucky to have a fantastic environment in Stonefields. We even have a wetlands a short walk away. On Monday we started to learn about the wetlands by writing some questions in groups that we would like to know the answers to and then using books and computers to find the answers. It was lots of fun. Take a look at the slide show to see us in action!

Hello everyone,ReplyDelete
We were so happy to see that some of the students in your class stopped by our blog recently!! Thanks for the comments!
It looks like you are going to have a very interesting term learning about the wetlands and the creatures that live there.
We are learning about technology at our school this term. Our class is looking at the importance of hand washing. We've learned a little about the history of bathing and the reasons for cleanliness. Soon we will be investigating what makes soap appealing and we will be creating a soap that will motivate people to wash their hands. We'll post pictures later in the term so you can see what we've done!

Great Hands
I spent Memorial Day weekend exploring some new canyons of Cedar Mesa in search of ruins and rock art. One of those canyons was Fish Creek Canyon where I found this well-preserved set of reverse-handprints just above a large ruin. It was a great weekend of hiking and exploring!

These well preserved reverse handprints in Fish Creek Canyon are painted high up on the back of a large alcove above a large ruin.

A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that though crashes caused by a drunk driver decreased in the mid 1990's, they did not continue this trend into the new millennium. Now, drunk driving crashes affect more people in Dallas and across Texas than ever before.
The Good News About Drunk Driving Statistics
The years 1993 to 1997 saw drunk driving crashes steadily decrease. Over that four year period alcohol related crashes decreased by 7 million. That means that potentially 7 million lives were saved over those four years in the mid 90's.
The Bad News About Drunk Driving Statistics
Unfortunately, this trend did not continue. Between 1997 and 1999, alcohol-impaired crashes increased by 37%. By 1999 there were 159 million crashes caused by drunk drivers, up 13 million from 1997. This steady rate of increased drunk driving crashes has continued. Car crashes are the leading cause of death in the United States for people between the ages of 1 and 34 and 30% of Americans will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetimes.
Why Drunk Driving Accident Numbers Have Increased in Texas and Nationwide
Experts tend to blame binge drinking for the spike in the number of drunk driving crashes. They believe that the act of consuming five of more drinks at one time is a major contributor to the increase. Researchers at the CDC analyzed telephone surveys during a period of six years, 1993-2002. They found that people who had been binge drinking were 13 times more likely to report driving while under the influence.
""The increase in alcohol-impaired driving episodes is probably due, at least in part, to the substantial increase in binge drinking episodes," stated one of the studies' authors. "Indeed, prevention efforts in the United States are likely to be of limited success unless they are coupled with efforts to also reduce the prevalence of binge drinking."
What We Can Do to Prevent a Drunk Driving Accident In Texas
While one person cannot stop every driver from drinking and driving, we can each pledge to stop a friend, a family member, before it's too late. Many do not want to risk an argument when insisting that a friend not get behind the wheel. However, you must ask yourself if your friends hurt pride is more important than saving their life.
The drunk driving crash attorneys at the Hart Law Firm hope that our efforts to stop drunk driving will have an impact here in Texas. Join us in turning the tide, in making this the year that the number of drunk driving crashes begin to decrease.
If you've been injured by a drunk driver contact us today for your free consultation. You can also call us directly at (817) 380-4888.

Short Sale may be the answer, because the big banks are not going to help you anytime soon...
The nasty principle forgiveness can of worms that was reopened today on CNBC-- it was orchestrated by money hungry monster bank retail services CEO, Chase's Charlie Sharf. Here is an excerpt from the article and the interview:
"We've got to be very careful that we don't create an environment where we encourage people not to pay, and that's the danger you have when you get into broad based principal forgiveness," said Scharf.Scharf is really just watching his bottom line here. I'm sure his butt-zillion dollar bonus structure relies on keeping 68 year-old former hippies tied down to a mortgage that is 40% underwater. I'm guessing that there is a 'negative equity retention report' that is updated weekly and passed upon to drones of mindless minions in Mumbai and Atlanta, who follow scripted answers when they tell angry callers that they need to keep making payments and to try to modify their loans.
Touche Scharf-- You have to protect your investment buddy. If not I'm sure your corporate buddies will eat your brain and throw your worthless body in a dumpster somewhere before they replace you with another robot.
The problem with the monster bank 'keep paying and modify programs' is that you will never get ahead. Sometimes a bad buy is just a bad buy and you have to sell (I know half you people have taken a beating on QID in the last few years trying to catch the falling knife).
Housing is not recovering this year-- I'm firm on that. There are still too many people unemployed and there is too much inventory. On top of this, mortgage credit underwriting only makes slightly more sense that Charlie Sheen's rants-- not technically WINNING in the world of mortgages.
I know this is not a popular stance for many, but I say in MOST cases it makes more sense to walk away via short sale than to pay.
Here are my top 6 reasons WHY to walk away via short sale:
#1) If you bought during the bubble in many cities and took a 100% loan you need to Walk away.
2004 - 2006 saw a dangerous level of subprime loans originated. These loans correlate with the above chart to create the peak. You can see the taper off as the suprime market died.
The only way to inflate the bubble again is to bring back subprime lending and ease underwriting standards. This is about as likely as getting master wizard Ben Wizzie to admit that inflation has arrived due to QEII MUCH. Why is this a valid analogy? The housing boom was orchestrated by another Fed Chair-- the Sorceror 'see no bubble' Alan Greenspan.
#2 Math Does Not Lie.
For this data I will use a Chart of Seattle-- Seattle was proclaimed to be immune to the housing market crash due to so many smarty pants and high-roller big wigs that lived there. Well, that didn't work out so well. Higher number of advanced degrees or crack huts in Cleveland it doesn't matter-- a bubble is a bubble is a bubble and bubbles always pop. Seattle's average price has dropped from $453,000 to $337,000 in the last 4 years.
Hey Math, can you assist? Math responds: 'Yea dude.'
Amortization is a funny tool, but it is consistent. If you bought an average Seattle home in 2007 and put down 0% you would have a $453,000 mortgage in 2007-- this is NOT an uncommon form of financing at this time in 2007. 100% LTV and 95% LTV one loan programs were popular when subprime started to fade.
The red box shows the balance of the loan today-- Still $116,000 over the fair market value today.
The Blue boxes show the total interest and the payments. Taking the payment of $2715, we know that 4 years of payments on principle and interest = $130,320 paid into the house so far.
The total interest to be paid on the home is $524,746 + the principle financed of $453,000 = $977,746.
Just under a cool million to own that 60's tri-level in the land of Starbucks and seahawks.
TODAY you can buy the same house for $337,000 on an FHA loan at 3.5% down. This means you will have a mortgage of $325,205. Ahem... MATH...
The payment is the obvious difference (other than the loan amount) and shows a savings of $1000 a month. This is equal to 3428 gallons of gas per year at $3.50 a gallon, or 1500 $8 burritos per year. Sadly they don't sell the Make Believe Car of the future, the Chevy Volt, in Washington, but if they did you could OWN one in about 4 years of savings at $1000 a month.
The total interest is $294,360 + $337,000 (loan plus down payment) = $631,360
The home in 2007 is actually over $360,000 more expensive to own vs today-- more than the price of the home in today's market.
There is NO reason to hold onto this house. In addition to the scary numbers, please note that selling a $400,000 home will also cost $24,000 in real estate commission-- with this also taken into account, if you bought this home in 2007 you will probably not be able to sell the home until 2018 - 2020 and BREAK EVEN on the sale. 12 years of 2007 payments is equal to $390,960.
If you are in this scenario, count your losses NOW-- housing values are expected to decline further.
#3 Short Sale MAY Not Cost You Anything.
I am getting into legal issues here, so make sure YOU contact a lawyer if you consider walking away from a home. I am NOT a lawyer.
In most cases you will NOT pay anything if you walk away from a home that is your primary residence. Why?
- You pay no capital gains on real estate if you live in the property for at least 24 months in a 5 year period. underwater balances are presented as 1099 income, or personal gain.
- H.R. 3648 (extended to 2012) allows for short sale of primary residences with no repayment of the underwater balance, provided that:
- The property sold in the short sale is the taxpayer's principal residence, as that term is used in IRC §121.
- The cancellation of debt is Qualified Principal Residence Indebtedness
- The indebtedness is discharged after January 1, 2007 and before January 1, 2012.
If you are underwater by $116,000 and paying $1000 extra a month in payments like the Seattle example, you would be foolish to not look into H.R. 3648. If you won't do it, your neighbors will.
#4 Modifications are stupid.
Most modifications do nothing to help the homeowner-- they only help the bank.
The most common modification is to reduce the interest rate and to extend the term to 40-50 years. This does nothing to help an underwater borrower. They still are in a gaping hole of debt that will not be paid back and the reduced interest rate has no benefit with an extended term.
$1000 payments for 30 years = $360,000 in payments.
$800 payments for 50 years = $480,000 in payments.
If someone is leaving a house because they are underwater on the loan, don't be fooled by the modification trap. The modification rarely makes sense-- though banks have improved this process, but have yet to perfect it (that would take principle reduction...).
#5 Credit recovers faster than you think.
If you walk away from a home you will reestablish your credit sooner than you think. You can go buy a boat and a Volvo today, walk away tomorrow and in a year from now, when you are vacationing in Boca with the oodles of money you saved, your score should be near the same as it is today as long as you kept your nose clean on all your other debts.
In the above scenario with Seattle, you have to ask yourself-- 'What is my credit score worth?'
You will also be able to purchase again in a few years at a reduced price-- heck you can buy your old house back at a 35% discount if you want.
#6 Retirement Planning
If you do not have ample retirement funds and your home is a debt and not an asset, and you are in your 50's or 60's, you are killing your retirement.
Consider the reality of paying for that home with your Social Security checks. You could be putting more money away, opposed to throwing it down a hole and lighting it on fire. Most people will not be able to carry an expensive mortgage after they stop working.
If you can't sell it for a profit, and you are underwater on it, it is a debt. If you are 58 and you have 26 years left on a mortgage I really hope you have Charle Sharf's but-zillion dollar salary.
There they are-- my top 6 reasons to walk away via short sale.
Of course walking away via short sale is not for everyone-- some people have not seen the declines of Seattle and some people don't care-- if they took the debt they should pay the debt. I'm down with that, but I also think that banks should help in the process. I find it maddening that banks essentially have a blank check from the Feds and they still fail to do anything to help customers. Not noted in the above cnbc article was a comment by a Chase rep that stated that the big banks would pass the cost of fee increases onto the bottom tier customer. No shame and no sugar coating what-so-ever.
Big banks suck-- they deserve a $30 billion dollar hit to the books-- maybe then they would treat their customers better.
Maybe then the banks would start giving away free toasters again.

Last of Nora Batty...
Having only just recently commented on losing Oliver Postgate (see previous blog post), it is with heavy heart that I post news of yet another lost legend in Kathy Staff, better known as Last Of The Summer Wine's Nora batty. Everyone's favourite broom-wielding, saggy-stockinged battleaxe passed away at the weekend after being ill for some time.
The 80-year-old, who had appeared in the hit sitcom for 243 episodes from 1973 until August this year, will be remembered for her hair net, her gossip-mongering and for being the object of desire for loveable rogue Compo (played by the late Bill Owen, pictured abover). But let's not forget that she also appeared in Crossroads, Emmerdale Farm, Coronation Street and Open All Hours, too.
To post your tributes to the late, great Kathy Staff, click here.

SINGAPORE – President Donald Trump wrapped up his five-hour nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un with surprisingly warm words and hope for "a bright new future" for Kim's isolated and impoverished nation. Yet he immediately faced pointed questions at home about whether he got little and gave away much in his push to make a deal with the young autocrat – including an agreement to halt U.S. military exercises with South Korea.
Meeting with staged ceremony on a Singapore island, Trump and Kim signed a joint statement Tuesday agreeing to work toward a denuclearized Korean Peninsula, although the timeline and tactics were left unclear. Trump later promised to end "war games" with ally South Korea, a concession to Kim that appeared to catch the Pentagon and Seoul government off guard and sowed confusion among Trump's Republican supporters in Washington.
The head-scratching was a fitting end for a meeting marked by unpredictability. The face to face was unthinkable just months earlier as the two leaders traded insults and nuclear threats. In agreeing to the summit, Trump risked granting Kim his long-sought recognition on the world stage in hopes of ending the North's nuclear program.
While progress on the nuclear question was murky, the leaders spent the public portions of their five hours together expressing optimism and making a show of their new relationship. Trump declared he and Kim had developed "a very special bond." He gave Kim a glimpse of the presidential limousine. Kim, for his part, said the leaders had "decided to leave the past behind" and promised, "The world will see a major change."
Soon, Kim was on a plane headed home, while a clearly ebullient Trump held forth for more than an hour before the press on what he styled as a historic achievement to avert the prospect of nuclear war. Before leaving himself, Trump tossed out pronouncements on U.S. alliances, human rights and the nature of the accord that he and Kim had signed.
The details of how and when the North would denuclearize appear yet to be determined, as are the nature of the unspecified "protections" Trump is pledging to Kim and his government.
As Trump acknowledged that denuclearization would not be accomplished overnight, the North suggested Wednesday that Trump had moved away from his demand for complete denuclearization before U.S. sanctions on the long-isolated country are removed.
The state-run Korean Central News Agency said Wednesday that the two leaders "shared recognition to the effect that it is important to abide by the principle of step-by-step and simultaneous action in achieving peace, stability and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."
The White House did not immediately respond to the North Korean characterization of the deal.
The Singapore accord largely amounts to an agreement to continue discussions, echoing previous public statements and commitments. It does not, for instance, include an agreement to take steps toward ending the technical state of warfare between the U.S. and North Korea.
Nor does it detail plans for North Korea to demolish a missile engine testing site, a concession Trump said he'd won, or Trump's promise to end military exercises in the South while negotiations between the U.S. and the North continue. Trump cast that decision as a cost-saving measure, but also called the exercises "inappropriate" while talks continue. North Korea has long objected to the drills as a security threat.
It was unclear whether South Korea was aware of Trump's decision before he announced it publicly. U.S. Forces Korea said in a statement Tuesday it was unaware of any policy change. Trump phoned South Korean President Moon Jae-in after leaving Singapore to brief him on the discussions. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo flew to Seoul Wednesday for follow-up meetings.
The U.S. has stationed combat troops in South Korea since the end of the Korean War in the 1950s and has used them in a variety of drills. The next scheduled major exercise, involving tens of thousands of troops, normally is held in August.
The Pentagon said Tuesday it was consulting with the White House and others, but was silent on whether the August exercise would proceed. Mattis' chief spokeswoman, Dana W. White, told reporters he was "in full alignment" with Trump.

If you are looking for good and fresh buns from the oven, this is one of the recommended place to please you if you are lazy to travel to Lido, Gaya St. or Kolombong! Never too hard to find Kedai Kopi 10. It's located right opposite of Party Play and same row with Bon Bon Cafe. Make sure that you come here early for the buns because they are quickly sold out once they are placed on the trays... =) I think there are more than 15 choices for you to choose on the shelf. The price for the buns is quite reasonable and price for each bun range from RM 1.50 to RM 3.00.. If you want more than buns, you can order DimSum from the adjacent shop or fish noodle from the stall behind. So what are you waiting for!
Front of the shop.. Once you get your parking, make sure that you buy your parking ticket! Parking is free on Sundays only...
"Loh Mai Kai" and "Zhu Cheong Fun", DimSum from the adjacent shop..
(L) Char Siew, BBQ pork Bun, (R) Polo, pineapple jam Bun.. Both taste equally good but the content is a bit too little to satisfy.. Polo bun at Gaya St. is still the best!
Chicken pie bun.. Recommended by the boss.. A choice which you can hardly find from other place.. A mixed of Western style and it tasted really good..
Luncheon meat bun.. A small slice of luncheon meat in the bun! =)
Buns are always good when they are served directly from the oven. Prefer not to take away! Enjoy and have a nice weekend! =)

text: Tavi asked, "What the hell does "hey" describe?" Well, since you asked... As far as we know it comes from the French "haie" or "haye" meaning "hedge". There are two theories as to why a hedge should mean a weaving pattern: 1) hedges were made of interwoven branches - the path we follow in a hey is the same path that a branch follows as it weaves between the other branches. 2) the term was also used to describe a line (or hedge) of soldiers lining the route for the gentry - if you were to dance in and out of that line of soldiers you would be following the path of a hey. One of the earliest references we have of a hey is in Thoinot Arbeau's Orchesographie from 1589. The Branle de la Montarde includes: Le premier fait une haye, en passant par devant les femmes, & par derrier les hommes, & se met a la queuhe prenant par la main la derniere femme. Roughly: The leader then dances a hay, passing in front of the ladies and behind the men, going to the end of the line and taking the last ladys hand. Interestingly the very next dance in the book also has a hey, but this time it is a hey as we know it: Branle de la Haye: La dance de la haye que vous dictes est aultre: Elle se dance par mesure binaire, comme la Courante Les danceurs seuls, & l'un aprez l'aultre, premierement dancent l'air en façon de Courante, & sur la fin s'entrelacent, & font la haye les uns parmy les aultres. Roughly: The Branle de la Haye discussed here is different. It is danced in double measures, like la Courante the dancers act individually, first dancing to the tune in the fashion of la Courante, and then at the end, interlacing themselves, they dance a hey each one between the others. The text then describes a hey for three as we know it: http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=musdi&fileName=219/musdi219.db&r ecNum=183 So, the term is quite descriptive, but only if you know where it came from :-) Hope that helps! Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England john at modernjive.com 01233 625 362 http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent

(UPDATE) Kudos to Joey Alarilla for sharing this story with INQUIRER.net.
BLOGGERS from different parts of the world have rallied behind two Malaysian bloggers facing defamation suits.
Jeff Ooi and Ahirudin Attan were sued separately on January 4, 2007 by the New Straits Times Press (NTSP) and its top executives, Deputy Chairperson Kalimullah Hassan, Group Editor-in-Chief Hishamuddin Aun and former group editor Brenden Pereira.
A blog, dubbed Walk With Us, was set up recently to support freedom of expression in Malaysia and elsewhere.
Malaysian bloggers Jeff Ooi and Ahirudin bin Attan are facing defamation suits, a landmark case in Malaysia. They're being sued by a newspaper group and several individuals for allegedly writing malicious and false stories about them.
Many groups and fellow bloggers have shown their support here, here, here, here, and here. This is an interesting development that we should follow. This might decide the fate of Malaysian bloggers who had been the last bastion of freedom of expression.
