I'm so glad we're beginning a new book today so I can start fresh!
In the first chapter of 1 Corinthians 1, Paul's words bring back memories of my own salvation. I'm reminded of the way I came to *believe* intellectually (through worldly wisdom, being both Jewish and Greek in my thinking) that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, and yes, that faith in Him was required to be reconciled to God. But I experienced no transformation beyond the intellectual assent. It was as though I had taken an ancient history class, believed all that I had learned was true as far as we are able to *prove* it, could recite back what I had learned, aced all the exams, and then — nothing. That was it.
Oh, how I wanted the truth of the gospel to be MINE the way it was for Scott and for others I knew who had obviously been made new in Christ! The joy they had! The peace! The strength! The *knowing*!
But salvation does not come by the wisdom of man. The wisdom of man can get you to the threshold, but salvation is a work of God so that no one can boast!!
I remember the moment so clearly…the sermon over (no memory of it at all today), and the church singing "Just As I Am." My head bowed, praying that God would receive me "just as I am," and suddenly being struck to the deepest parts of my soul with the wickedness of my pride, and then seeing all my sin unveiled as my pride was stripped away and I saw the truth — my intelligence was my god, my wisdom was my god, and *I* was my god, even when I tried to *obey* God's commandments. Because I didn't love Him. I only wanted something (peace, joy, etc.) in return for the obedience I offered, really as currency. But no matter how "perfect" my obedience, it was nothing but an offering of filthy rags. And in that moment, tears running down my face, the Holy Spirit breathed on me and I saw myself in truth — bereft of anything good, anything wise, anything of worth before our holy GOD. And here at my side was my Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for ME, presenting me before His Father and saying, "I want this one." So clearly. He wanted me, even though — especially because? — I saw I had nothing to give in return. And in that moment, everything changed. I was redeemed, saved, set free and born again, by the will of God, by His grace.
How grateful I am that HE called, HE chose, and HE saved — me!
NO ONE CAN BOAST BEFORE GOD.
I don't understand the part about choosing the things that are not to nullify the things that are, but I do understand that we shouldn't boast. Since everything comes from God, we can't take credit for anything.
"The choosing things that are not" is just another way for Paul to express that God calls the weak (those that "are not" according to the world's value system) to confound or confuse the strong (those that "are" according to the world's value system, they are recognized and rewarded for following the world, so in that way they "are"). When we align ourselves with Christ, it is not our strength that shows but Christ's but only when we set our credentials aside and accept His credentials and power and wisdom. And the less credentials we enter into Christ with, the easier letting go of them are.
Even though I am studying elsewhere, I am going to try to read in 1 Corinthians along with everyone else. In reading 1 Corinthians 1, it is evident that there were divisions in the Corinthian church – following different (reputable) leaders. It's funny how we can become enamored with "men" and follow different teachers and leaders and lose sight of Christ. Or even get caught up in the minutia of defined doctrine and disregard the complexity of the Word and the simplicity of the Gospel. Our study of the Word should lead us closer and closer to what Christ accomplished by his death and resurrection, not further and further from each other.
As I read I Corinthians 1, verse 5 jumped out at me…"In Him you have been enriched in every way…Who else will say Amen to that!
Then as I read verses 10-17 I thought how grateful I am and we should be that we have not dealt with any serious divisions at Living Hope…at least that I am aware of…and I'm hoping I am seeing that accurately :). But I also thought how important it is for us to be vigilant, to keep our eyes on Christ and resolve conflict in the way that God enables us to…directly and with wisdom and love.
Then as I read verses 18-31 I thought of Ray. He both sought and reflected the wisdom of Christ and was willing to be a fool for it. He saw himself as the foolish and weak one who was chosen to confound the wise. And in his humility he let Christ's life and wisdom shine!


It's the season for outstanding Early Bird discounts on New Zealand coach tours. They just keep coming! So if you are contemplating coming to New Zealand for a New Zealand coach tour, now is the time to book! The deals and seats are still available.
We've just been updating the deals on the New Zealand coach tours on our website and really, they are amazing!
Kirra's outstanding 20 day Ultimate New Zealand itinerary, was NZ$7020, now just NZ$5970 per person, share twin. That's a massive saving of NZ$1050!
These Ultimate itineraries are extra special. They travel off the beaten track to wonderful places like Whangamata on the Coromandel Peninsula, Hot Water Beach where you can dig your own hot pool in the sand, the seriously impressive Tongariro National Park (staying at The Chateau Tongariro Hotel – nice!), the gorgeous Abel Tasman National Park, funky Hokitika and beautiful Lake Wanaka.
These are all outstanding, but check this out – the tour overnights on the Milford Mariner and this is undoubtedly a trip highlight. The Milford Mariner nestles into a sheltered cove to anchor up for the night. The on-board dining is amazing (including NZ roast lamb for mains and pavlova for dessert!) but what is really special is the opportunity to paddle around this very remote bay in a kayak. You'll love it.
Also very unique to these tours is the opportunity to hike the Hollyford Track Walkway. This guided hike is entirely optional and substitutes 2 nights in Queenstown. So you choose whether to have 3 nights in Queenstown, or 1 night Queenstown and 2 nights on the Hollyford. Spaces on these guided hikes are very limited so early bookings are highly recommended. Reasonable fitness is required as this is really and truly a remote hike into one of New Zealand's most impressive scenic regions.
If your time frame doesn't allow for 20 days, there is also a 13 day Ultimate Southern Highlights which is South Island only. The price is discounted by NZ$695, making the early bird price just NZ$3947 per person, share twin, including sightseeing, all breakfasts, most dinners.


Pimples and acne are every teen's nightmare. Acne raises its ugly head at the most inopportune time; prom night for example. We are bombarded with advertisements for the treatment of acne, but we know that in reality, there is no quick fix and sometimes wonder if there is any fix at all. It is just one of those rites of passage we feel one must endure; one that would eventually end, hopefully, and bring relief.
But teenagers are not the only victims of acne; adults also have to deal with that unexpected visitor popping up without much of a warning. One myth concerning acne is that it is caused by dirty skin. Some people who buy into this myth, spend an excessive amount of time washing, cleaning, and scrubbing, which, I regret to burst your bubble, does not get rid of excess oils and bacteria. To deal with acne, you need to attack the root causes, which include stress, diet, hormones and vitamin deficiency, either individually or in combination.
Dandelion Root: One of the major causes of acne is bacteria. Dandelion root contains blood-purifying properties that could help your body get rid of bacterial toxins in your skin, as well as the excess hormones, which is another cause of acne. Dandelion root can also attack the androgens that lead to breakouts of acne. It may be an annoying lawn weed, but dandelion contains many nutrients and phytochemicals. The leaves are rich in vitamin A and C. In fact, you can get more vitamins A from dandelion leaves than you can from carrots. Here is a recipe for dandelion tea. You can also use this same recipe as a face wash.
You will need 5 dandelion leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried dandelion leaves. Pour one cup of boiling water over the leaves and allow steeping for 10 minutes. Strain and add honey to taste if desired. Drink a cup 3 times a day.
Aloe Vera: The benefits of Aloe Vera as a topical solution are no surprise to many of us. There is Aloe in face creams, sunburn lotions and a host of other preparations. Aloe Vera can help to ease any discomfort or irritations that result from acne. Generally, from personal experience, I find the effects are instant. There are many ready-made preparations you can purchase, but I always keep an Aloe Vera plant around to instantly soothe any skin irritations. For each treatment, break off a 1-inch piece of the plant leaf. Squeeze out the pulp and gently apply the pulp directly to the affected area. If you prepare a larger amount of the plant, refrigerate the remaining portion until needed.
Many essential oils can be used to treat acne. Juniper oil is great due to its antiseptic and astringent properties; Tamanu oil helps to fade acne spots, and lemon oil is good for oily skin. There are many other you can use; all it takes is a swab and a dot on the affected areas. My personal recommendation is that you try avoiding using commercially prepared foundations and other facial makeup when acne is present. If you must, try an organic one preferably with no animal by-products and chemicals.
There are much you can do to ease the frustration that acne causes and develop an acne-free complexion. Help is right in your own back yard. As discussed here, many common herbs are known to work. Even though we are dealing with herbs, some people can be allergic to the topical solutions presented here. Exercise caution and test a small amount first. The information provided here is not a prescription for acne treatment, but information garnered from my own experience and research on the topics.
Matthew Evans is a travel blogger, rizk casino reviews [mod edit: removed unnecessary hyperlink here] writer, and teacher. I hope that my knowledge will help me to understand people and make their lives better. My passion is running. You can feel completely free while you run. Also, sport is really good for your skin.


Summary: We absolutely love these raw corn tortillas, and they are among the easiest of raw food recipes to make!
We absolutely love these, and they are so easy to make!
This recipe is from Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow by Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis. I adore this book!
Take 3 cups of corn kerns, either cut fresh from the ear, or frozen corn which you have thawed. We use a package of Cascadian Farms organic frozen corn, which works out to just three cups.
In a food processor, chop up the corn with 1 1/2 cups diced yellow or red bell pepper.
Process everything until it is almost completely smooth. Divide the tortilla dough in half onto two Teflex-lined dehydrator sheets, and smooth the dough out to the edges of each sheet. Raw Food/Real World recommends using an offset spatula for this, and it does make things easier.
Dehydrate at 115 degrees for 3 to 4 hours. Then flip the tortilla sheet over onto the dehydrator tray screen, and carefully pull the Teflex sheet off dough. Return both trays of dough to the dehydrator for another 2 hours or so.
The tortilla sheets are done when the tortilla is dry on both sides but still pliable.
At this point Raw Food/Real World recommends cutting out small (4″) round tortillas by tracing around a bowl and cutting the sheet into rounds. However I prefer taking a pair of kitchen sheers and cutting the sheets into larger, square tortillas. It's easier, and you less waste.
These are also really good cut into little squares and served like crackers with a good cheddar cheese (of course, raw food purists don't eat cheese).
Just to let you know, frozen vegetables are normally not raw.
I can't wait to try these. The batter taste delicious which is a very good sign. I'm going to use this to make rawfood nachos. I think this is going to be a keeper.
This recipe sounds great, but are they chewy or crispy?

A week before my move-in date, I visited the leasing office again to submit my check. The owner and manager of Sahara Apartments, Ted Mehr, greeted me. He accepted my check, and told me that I could pay with the checking account number through ACH debit, which clears immediately and avoids the convenience fee.
I rented a car on Jul 31, and moved from University Arms to Sahara. I was assigned room 3316 on the third floor. Although there is an elevator, moving everything from the car to the third floor was a tough task that resulted in several sweat-soaked shirts.
Short-term stays are considered "hotel accommodation" at Sahara Apartments. Rooms are furnished with bed sheets, towels, dinner plates, and kitchen utensils. This means I could donate my own pans, pots, and plates to Goodwill, as I don't plan to bring them to Maryland with great effort only to have them smashed on the way.
Sahara's amenities are comparable to NorthPointe Apartments. There is a swimming pool, a hot tub, a little fitness center, a games room, a lounge, and a small movie theater that I never figured out how to use. A dozen on-size laundry rooms are open 24/7, and the price is $1.75 per load, half of the price at University Arms. I took advantage of the cheap pricing, and washed all my clothes in the machines during the month.
My favorite amenity is the gas grill, which isn't available at University Arms. I can cook steaks, salmon, leek, onion, carrots, and broccoli on the grill. I can also take a dip in the pool while my red meat is cooking.
The ugly part of Sahara Apartments is a colony of ants. Whenever I have fish in my room, thousands of ants would find their way in, in an attempt to remove nutrition from the fish bones. Apartment management would not do anything until I have filled a form online; then, the maintenance guy would show up with a spray bottle.
August is my final month in Tucson, so that I wanted to relive some of the good experiences by visiting my favorite places, eating my favorite local food, and participating my favorite activities "one last time".
I rode a bike along The Loop, found more geocaches, and played in the mud. I went to 2nd Saturdays and Tucson Improv Movement. I ate at El Güero Canelo, Zemam's, Yoshimatsu, and Tucson Tamales. I continued to enjoy the heat, the monsoon, and one last hike.
There were also some "first time"s, for the activities that I always thought I could do "next time" until realizing that I wouldn't have more time. This includes a visit to Arizona State Museum, and a few workouts at downtown YMCA.
I moved all my stuff to CubeSmart Self Storage, and departed from Tucson on Aug 31, 2017. Although I could return to Tucson in the future, it would be unlikely for me to spend more than a few days in Tucson. Thus, I have officially left Tucson, the city I know and love.

Packers remain calm under pressure
BY foxsports • October 13, 2011
As a reporter, the Green Bay Packers are my dream team. They come through. They do what they say they will to help you carry out your assignment. As an organization, they are first class from top to bottom.
I think of this because of a question I posed to linebacker Clay Matthews during my sit-down interviews with the 5-0 Packers for the feature I'm doing for the FOX NFL Sunday show. I almost asked him if Green Bay's fourth-ranked offense and top-rated quarterback ever confronted his bunch, which is 21st in total defense, and demanded they pick it up.
In other words, get their stuff together.
But I remembered who I was talking to and didn't waste my breath. It would have been the wrong question to ask in that form and they don't really talk to each other that way.
"It's not the offense vs. the defense in this case," Matthews said to a question I phrased more along of the line of each part of the team pulling each other along in times of struggle.
"And there's been plenty of games where the defense has bailed out the offense, now it seems like the offense is bailing out the defense. But there's no panic on either side of the ball," Matthews said.
Panic. It's a word that kept coming up.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he loved that there was no panic when the Packers got down by 13 points to the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. "We didn't trail by more than seven points all last season," Rodgers said.
Wide out Greg Jennings used the same word about the locker room again this past Sunday, after Atlanta jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the raucous Georgia Dome. Jennings said it makes them proud that they've learned to handle the adversity from last year's injury-plagued season the team fought through, all the way to a Super Bowl victory.
Rodgers calls the 5-0 mark "exciting," but then in the next breath tells you about all the things that could have been done better. He's a perfectionist and often goes home after a win (the Packers haven't lost a game since Week 15 of last season vs. Patriots) and goes over plays he probably thinks he murdered, but really only bruised. His teammates marvel at his cool under pressure.
"Are you ever out of ... " Jennings jumps my question and flashes a huge grin as I'm trying to get the words out of my mouth "out of a game with Rodgers at quarterback? Absolutely not, absolutely not."
"We jokingly talk about it briefly as a wide-receiver group. He is great," Jennings said of Rodgers. "He continues to raise the bar and raise the level of play, not for himself but for those around him."
High standards are demanded for the Packers.
That means the team, the coaches and the front office. While 5-0 is nice, it's also how everybody believes it's supposed to be.
Matthews, who kept talking about the nap he was dying to take after he left our interview, because obviously at 25 years old, he needed his beauty sleep, is an example of someone with high standards whose numbers as a pass rusher (only one sack) don't speak to his contribution or value to the defense. He hasn't brought the quarterback down this season like he's shown he's capable of (23.5 sacks in his first two seasons), but said he's mighty proud that he has 16.5 quarterback knockdowns and hurries, which means that he's always coming — relentlessly so at that.
This week Green Bay hosts the winless Rams and are smart enough to not, publicly, at least, lick their chops.
Who beats you, I ask Rodgers. "Ourselves," he said. "No disrespect to any team, but we go into the game expecting to win."
"I think that we realize it's going to be a week-to-week grind," Jennings said. "They (other teams) can say, `Oh, they can overlook this team.' No, we can't."
I believe him.

Exhibitionism: The Textiles of Byzantium
Every year, the Bryn Mawr College Libraries host culture-spanning exhibitions, and with a trio of exhibitions on the gallery roster, this academic year is no exception.
By Eric Pumroy, Seymour Adelman Director of Special Collections
The Byzantine textile began life as a collection of fibers that was artfully dyed and woven more than 1,000 years ago. In a new, year-long 360°, students have been using scientific technologies and rigorous scholarship to unthread the secrets of these ancient pieces of cloth. A joint offering by Special Collections and the history of art department, the 360° cluster—called Textiles in Context: Analysis, Interpretation, and Exhibition—began last semester with two courses: a chemistry course taught by Collections Manager Marianne Weldon and a history of art course taught by Professor Alicia Walker '94.
Weldon's class, Analysis of Art: Early Byzantine Textiles, focused on the science of textiles. Using sophisticated technology—thin-layer chromatography, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, X-ray florescence spectroscopy, and polarized light microscopy—students learned to identify fibers, weave structures, and make dyes and mordents. Armed with that knowledge, they were able to pinpoint the methods used in the production of an authentic early Byzantine textile.
Byzantine Textiles in Life, Death, and Afterlife—Walker's class—explored questions of historical interpretation. How did these textiles signify social status and individual and group identities? How did the iconography employed relate to cultural and religious values? What role did these objects play in local production and long-distance trade in a pre-modern "globalized" system? In addition, students explored the fraught history of the excavation, collection, sale, and display of these textiles in the modern and contemporary eras.
This spring, students are marshaling all they've learned to mount an exhibition featuring some 20 Byzantine textiles—most of them fragments—on loan from Thomas Jefferson University. The show will be the culminating project of the third offering in the 360°: Topics in Exhibition Strategies: Byzantine Textiles, co-taught by Walker and Carrie Robbins. Already students have begun visiting and researching previous exhibitions as case studies and also reading catalogues and critical responses to understand the different curatorial strategies they might apply to their own work. Soon, they'll be developing original documentation of objects for online entries to Jefferson Digital Commons, a publicly accessible collection database. And as the semester continues, they'll refine their curatorial agenda and create the essentials of an exhibition—didactic materials, public programs, and tour scripts for different audiences.
The exhibition will open in spring and run through Reunion. Costs are being underwritten by the Friends of the Bryn Mawr College Libraries.
The Friends of the Bryn Mawr College Libraries provides critical support for internships, exhibitions, programs, and special projects. To learn more and become a member, see the Friends website.

Redskins can wrap up third seed at Metter
Jamie Parker
Despite bouncing for a 43-13 win behind senior running back Nick Scott's 183 yards rushing yards on 18 carries and four touchdowns to up their season record to 6-2 last week, the Bryan County Redskins still have some work to do in order to finish the regular season where they'd like to.
Looking ahead, the Redskins at 5-2 in Region 2AA are almost assured a spot in the playoffs; however Friday night's game at Metter, also 5-2 Region 2AA, means a lot. A win and the Redskins will be traveling for their first-round playoff game to play a number two seed. Lose and they limp into the playoffs as a four seed and travel to play a No. 1 seed.
"Metter has got a good team. This will be for the third seed, so this is a big game for us," Redskin Head Coach Mark Wilson said. "If we end up fourth it is looking like we would play Lamar, they are the number one team in the state, so you sort of want to stay away from that if you can."
Against the Tigers Bryan County will be facing something of a wing T offense that operates out of the shotgun formation.
"They are real fast. They are more of a run than pass team but can still throw it, their quarterback is a good player and they have a lot of athletes," Wilson said.
Defensively they run a 3-5 and like to blitz.
"They come from everywhere," Wilson said. "They always do a good job on defense, their kids really fly around the ball."
But regardless of schemes and offensive styles the key to the game will probably come down to the big guys up front Wilson believes.
"Offensive and defensive lines will be the key to the outcome of the game. With them doing so much stuff up front our offensive line is going to have to pick up blitzes," he said. "Our defensive line is going to have to keep those guys off our linebackers. Those things are going to be key; and we have done well with that so far this year."
Another key may be the Redskins conditioning which has helped them pull out some games in the fourth quarter.
"We are lot stronger than we were," Wilson said. "There is no doubt that has helped us at the end of ball games to pull out some late wins. We have gotten in the weight room and gotten in shape. That is what that weight room teaches, to be mentally tough and that you have fight through when you don't feel like working out. When it gets real heavy you have to fight through it, that what it teaches."

Crackdown on Youth in South Kashmir Before May 6 Polls
Police sources said over hundred persons, including teenage boys, have been detained #TCVotes
SRINAGAR: Ahead of the crucial third phase of election for Anantnag parliamentary constituency, security forces have launched a massive crackdown in poll-bound south Kashmir where dozens of persons, mostly youngsters, have been detained to prevent protests on the election day.
Police sources said over hundred persons, including teenage boys, have been detained in the twin districts of Shopian and Pulwama which will go to polls on May 6 in the last phase of election for the crucial south Kashmir constituency.
The latest detentions were made from Pulwama district's Tahab and Chewakalan villages where at least 38 youngsters, including some teenagers, were whisked away by police during nocturnal raids on Wednesday night while the rest were held from Vehil and Narwah villages of Shopian.
A day earlier, security forces swooped down on Murran village of Pulwama from where at least 19 youth were detained on unspecified charges. Sources said more than two dozen youth have been detained from Kangan, Newa, Parigama, Rajpora, Payar, Keegam and other villages.
"At least 20 more youth were detained from other villages of Shopian and Pulwama during nocturnal raids. This is an ongoing operation to ensure that election takes place peacefully," police sources said.
The third phase of the all-important Anantnag parliamentary constituency will go to polls on Monday amid fears of widespread law and order disturbances. "It (detentions) is a preemptive measure. They will be released once the elections are over," a senior police officer said.
Unprecedented security measures are being taken to ensure smooth conduct of election. On Thursday, posters purportedly issued by the Hizbul Mujahideen outfit appeared in some areas of Shopian, warning people to boycott the election. The separatists have also issued a poll boycott appeal.
With barely 12 percent votes polled, elections in the first two phases in Anantnag district on April 23 and Kulgam district on April 29 was marred by low voter turnout. Some sporadic incidents of violence were also reported from the two districts.
The election commission has reduced the end of voting time to 4 pm from 6 pm in order to ensure that the polling staff get a safe passage out of poll-bound areas during daytime.
Sources said the state government is planning to deploy 40,000 central paramilitary troopers in Pulwama and Shopian in addition to the existing personnel of police, paramilitary and army which run in thousands. On May 6, polling will also be held in Ladakh constituency which marks the end of Lok Sabha election in J&K.

Feel Free: Essays
Zadie Smith. Penguin, $28 (448p) ISBN 978-1-59420-625-2
Grand Union: Stories
In this collection of conversational essays, novelist Smith (Swing Time) brings her precise observations and distinct voice to an expansive range of topics. Smith comes across as a writer's writer, with a love of form, function, and language—"Oh, the semicolons, the discipline!" she exclaims of Edward St. Aubyn. A self-professed "sentimental humanist," Smith is alarmed by social media platforms such as Facebook and is smartly cutting on American race relations, discussed through pop-culture reference points that include Jay-Z lyrics and movies such as Get Out, "a compendium of black fears about white folk." She is lacerating on the subject of British politics, blasting the ruling class's "Londoncentric solipsism"; rather than policy changes, she advocates for nothing more—or less—than art and literature's power to free the mind. At their most memorable, the essays are character studies, whether of a culture, such as the "limitless" Manhattan of "Find Your Beach"; a place, such as Rome's Villa Borghese in "Love in the Gardens"; or a person, such as Billie Holliday in "Crazy They Call Me." Smith's explicit discomfort with any authoritative stance—"I have no real qualifications to write as I do"—feels a bit disingenuous, when this collection's chief appeal lies in the revealing glimpses it affords into the mind and creative process of one of the most admired novelists writing in English. (Feb.)

Lone Rock School analyzing input to develop levy plans
STEVENSVILLE — Lone Rock School administrators are hoping to convince voters to pass a levy this spring, helping them solve a serious crunch in state funding which has developed over the past couple of years and they say the community has provided valuable input in making those key financial decisions.
As the oldest continuously operating school district in the state, Lone Rock School north of Stevensville has a long history of community involvement and support. But that's been a challenge in recent years, as the district struggles with declining enrollment, and a corresponding drop in state funding.
The school board has been surveying residents to measure support for a levy package to make up some of the difference.
"Montana Office of Public Instruction sets our budget authority for us. And when I came on board we were face with a $95,000 cut that year to our General Fund. And then the next year we had a cut that was the same. Last year was a $25,000 cut. So we have lost about $240,000 from our General Fund in the last three years. So that makes us set aside and re-prioritize some of our spending," Lone Rock School Superintendent Scott Stiegler said.
With the surveys the district hopes to learn where the community's priorities are for the limited funding that's been available. Those surveys are returned now and Stiegler says the information will form the basis for shaping the levy.
"We'll begin to go through the date. We've hired a consulting firm and they're handling that for us. And so, she will collect that data and will begin to see what sort of priorities emerge from that," Stiegler told MTN News.
With the bond expiring that paid for the middle school 20-years ago, school leaders say there new levy would be tax neutral.
"It is. It is exactly. We want to make sure that we're not burdening the taxpayers further. And it would allow us to have these operational funds to re-instate some programs that we haven't been able to do and to also catch up on some deferred maintenance," Stiegler said.
In fact, Stiegler says the successful completion of the middle school shows the school board and staff are committed to being good stewards of the funding from voters.
"Exactly. And we've been able to demonstrate to our taxpayers that we did what we said we were going to do when they got what they paid for. So, we're excited for this. The election will be a mail-in ballot. The ballots will come out in mid-April and the election is on May 5th," Stieglert said.
Trustees hope to make a final decision on a levy proposal soon, and are promising to have some public open houses to explain the final package.

Quick Reflection: 10 years of music making
I'm feeling a little nostalgic thinking about the last 10 years of singing and directing the Renaissance Singers, now the Byrd Ensemble. Here's what we started with, the very first recording we ever made in 2003 of Pearsall's Lay a Garland. [No laughing!]
Orrin Doyle, Thomas Thompson and I grew up singing together in the Northwest Choirs. Soon after high school, we joined the Compline Choir and eventually the Tudor Choir. We wanted to sing more often so we recruited some friends for a friendly sing once or twice a week at First Lutheran Church in West Seattle - a small, but lovely space. It became serious when Jane Hardy invited us to perform on Music Northwest, a chamber music series she manages. We formed a group of 10-12 young singers, most of us in our late teens and early twenties (in the audio clip), and rehearsed twice a week for a year to prepare this program (that's over 100 rehearsals!). We gave our first concert as the Renaissance Singers to about 150 of our closest friends and family in January 2004. [I will not forget when we chose "The Renaissance Singers," Orrin and I met at SAMS (now Eastlake Bar and Grill) behind Thomas Thompson's back so we couldn't be argued into calling ourselves something like antiquo vocalis or mensura polyphonico... After many rum and diets, the Renaissance Singers was the best we could do - bland, but straight forward.]
Left to Right: Anders Marshall, Orrin Doyle, Thomas Thompson, Willimark Obenza, Andy Fischer-Price, Markdavin Obenza, Naomi Hummel, Elizabeth Vaughn, Brittany Glant.

This concert probably wasn't very good, but it was a good start. The experience, most importantly, ignited a deep passion for vocal chamber music - a passion that will sustain us for many years to come. This has been an enormous group effort and I am so thankful for how supportive the core members have been.
After our first concert in 2004, we became a part of an educational program sponsored by the Tudor Choir for our 2004-2005 season. In 2005-2006, we were incredibly fortunate to add staple members to the group - Joshua Haberman, Sarra Sharif and Margaret Obenza (now my wife who I met on the Tallis Summer School course in Seattle). In 2007, we became a nonprofit organization. 2008-2010 was a period of transition as we fine tuned our aesthetic and personnel. Our 2011-2012 season was a milestone. We released a new CD produced by a record label that Joshua Haberman and I started, Scribe Records which has been positively reviewed in several publications - Gramophone, Early Music America and Early Music Review. We also went on our first tour to the East Coast with guest conductor Peter Phillips from the Tallis Scholars.
The real reason behind the name change (2011)
We anticipated that our CD release, Our Lady, might be well received. We asked some members of the early music community in England if they would be interested in the release and found out about, "The Renaissance Singers," a chamber early music group started in 1944. We were worried their director would not welcome a CD release by another group with the same name and we didn't want to get mixed up with them, so we changed our name to the Byrd Ensemble. [Funny thing, this decision was also made sans Thomas at the Matador bar in West Seattle.]
Now we present a subscription series, produce a new CD annually, and are touring every other year. Since June 2013, we've toured the East Coast and produced 2 CDs. We are looking forward to our concert season which features a massive 60-voice piece and ends with Handel's Dixit Dominus performed with the Seattle Baroque Orchestra.
We are thankful for our supporters. Nothing is more encouraging than feeling like people care about our work. We have a small (but mighty!) following that has been incredibly supportive through the years, we thank you! We hope to see you at our opening anniversary concert on Sat Sept 28.
Labels: Byrd Ensemble, The Renaissance Singers

Massive paedophile network uncovered by police in Norway
Under the auspices of "Operation Dark Room" Norwegian police have laid bare a paedophile internet network which promoted and facilitated sexual assaults against children. The scale of the network has astonished the police investigators and with over 50 men already charged the police say the investigation is not over yet.
Updated Report on Webcam Child Sex Tourism in the Philippines.
This recent report entitled "Children of the Webcam" is an updated version of the 2013 "Fullscreen on View" document which initially detailed the evolving trend in sexual exploitation of children; that of using them to perform live sex acts for paying viewers in foreign countries via internet webcam. 3 years later, Terre des Hommes Netherlands revisits the original findings to ascertain if and how the phenomenon has developed in the interim.
Report: Legal aspects of Sweetie 2.0
In this report we address the following problem statement: To what extent is it possible for law enforcement agencies to use Sweetie 2.0 for the investigation and prosecution of webcam sex with minors based on the current criminal law
framework (in a selected number of countries)?
Sweetie Project may have to move to "common law" countries to operate within the law.
A legal report commissioned by Terre des Hommes and Save Sweetie Now! implies that the Sweetie 2.0 project may have to limit its operation to common law countries such as the UK, US, Australia and Canada in order to remain within the law as its future use in the Netherlands may be construed as illegal.
Reflections in Cebu
Hans Guyt, member of the Save Sweetie Now team, visited Cebu in the Philippines in July to brief co-workers there about developments in the Sweetie 2.0 project.
Australian Federal Police describe growing trend for live-streaming of child sex abuse as "most dark and evil crime we are seeing".
Australian Federal Police have stated that the number of child exploitation material referrals they have received has doubled in the space of one year, from 4,500 to 11,000.
Known US sex offender arrested in Nepal in joint Project Watch/ police operation.
Police raid a well-known tourist hotel in Kathmandu after tip-off from Project Watch researchers and finds suspect with 5 children under 14 in bedroom.
Save Sweetie Now team aids in detention of child pornography suspect.
The Save Sweetie Now team of researchers played a significant role in the apprehension of a travelling child abuser who was selling video footage online of himself having sex with a 13 year old girl in the Philippines.
Facebook alerts authorities to suspect child sex abuser.
An Australian national was arrested at a Philippine airport after Facebook monitors spotted pornographic images of a 13 year old girl on his account and alerted authorities in the US and Australia.
Growth of online child sex abuse in the Philippines exacerbated by "parentless children " phenomenon.
Over one tenth of the Filipino population are migrant workers, leaving behind children in the care of others. Many of these children are at risk of being used to feed the demand for online webcam child sex abuse.
Canadian police force representatives visit Sweetie HQ
Child exploitation specialist detectives were given a "guided tour" of the entire Sweetie 2.0 project so far.
Sweetie 2.0 and Law Enforcement Agencies
The approach adopted by the Sweetie Project involves regular consultation with law enforcement agencies.

Deputies: 1 shot in stomach in Henderson Co., juvenile facing charges
Moped driver killed during crash on New Cut Rd. in Spartanburg Co.
Victims speak out about fraud conviction Greenville couple
by: Diane Lee
A Greenville couple has been found guilty of conspiracy to defraud hundreds of home sellers and buyers.
It's a case 7News has been following since 2017 when victims contacted us about a Christian based real estate company called Kingdom Connected Investments.
The owner, Bubba Roush already pleaded guilty to charges this year. This week, in Federal Court, his wife, Dana, was also found guilty of fraud and equity skimming.
It was a Simpsonville couple who launched a tireless quest to make sure justice was served.
Like so many of us, Gene and Toni Townsend had a dream, the American Dream.
They thought they had found it when they signed a purchase agreement for a Simpsonville home with Kingdom Connected Investments.
"We thought we were buying directly from Kingdomn Connected, then we started to get foreclosure notes," said Gene Townsend.
After $16,000 dollars down, and several monthly rent- to-own payments, Townsend learned owners Bubba and Dana Roush had failed to pay the mortgage. That meant there were two sets of victims, them and the original home sellers whose credit was destroyed.
"My wife confronted Dana directly about it and Dana told her it's not like they're going to do anything to us, after stealing $30 grand from us, this is what the lady told my wife," said Townsend.
So Toni and Gene started a facebook group to "take down" the couple who had exploited Christian values to gain clients.
"They used people's faith against them," said Townsend.
"You were stolen from, and you didn't let it go."
Assistant US Attorney Bill Watkins says, thanks to the efforts of the Townsends, Federal agents were able to track down 260 victims involving 130 properties spanning both Carolinas and Georgia.
So where did money, intended to pay off homes actually go?
"Our records show that unfortunately the money funded a rather lavish lifestyle that the Roush's lives, an Apartment in Downtown Greenville, going to the Chop House for Supper, Pomagranites surprised a dish was ever dirtied in their house as much as they ate out."
"When people mess with you and try to throw that kind of thing in your face, you have what it takes to fight for what's right."
Dana and Bubba Roush both face up to twenty years behind bars, but since Bubba pleaded guilty he may serve a shorter sentence.
Dana Roush has also been hit with a new indictment connected to her prior job. She is charged with embezzling $10,000 from the Postal Workers Union.
HENDERSON COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) - One person was shot Monday and another has been charged following a shooting in Edneyville.
According to the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded at about 7:45 p.m. to the parking lot near the community center in Edneyville, located off of Ida Rogers Drive.
ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) - Emergency crews have been investigating a death following a domestic dispute between a parent and a child on Towhee Trail, according to the Anderson County Sheriff's Office.
Sgt. JT Foster said the incident happened at around 10:15 p.m. Monday.


tweet tweet guess what the birdie brought in this April?
There's another project brewing this month by The Butterfly Project Community. One that smells like sweet pink cupcakes bursting out with candy cane surprises. This month's project has to be the cutest of all thanks to Bag of Love and Delectable Su. A short introduction about what these two brands have in common besides being home grown and made from love is that they're both uniquely different from your usual cake shop and beauty boxes.
Beauty Boxes has taken Malaysia by the lipsticks. What are Beauty Boxes? In short, they're pretty boxes filled with beauty product samples (deluxe sizes, sample sizes, miniatures). You pay a subscription fee to receive them every month by courier. The samples are given randomly and you'll jump for joy if you find something you like e.g a non-sample size product.
Being the only beauty box that's different, Bag of Love comes in the form of a bag and not a box! (gasp!) and you know us girls, bags are never enough. We will collect any kind of bags, pouches, totes, canvas and even paper bags we find cute. I still wonder if every month Mimi (the brainchild of Bag of Love) will surprise us with a totally new bag to love and to honor forever. Subscribing to Bag of Love is like accepting a wedding proposal. You know it's going to be forever, you don't know what to expect and you wish the surprises don't stop at I do.
Delectable by Su is not alien to Malaysians. The designer cakes, gingerbread man and the cutest cupcakes smiles at the display, mesmerizing anyone that dares to pass by. I was one of them, staring into the window everyday salivating. I still remember last year I bought 24 cupcakes just to surprise my staffs on Valentine's Day and yes they all went "wah". A blogger turned entrepreneur, Su (designer and founder) is an inspiration to all. Simple flour, milk and eggs could turn into a form of art by Su's crafty hands. Now I wish she would just make me a wedding cake too.
Now here's the cake. 50 bloggers will be receiving a Bag of Love to review but only 30 will be unboxing their Bag of Love at the tea party held at Delectable Su, Paradigm Mall on 27th April, 2013. There will be two (2) sessions - 11pm and 2pm. Each session can only accommodate 15 bloggers. All you have to do is tell us why you want to review Bag of Love and/or why you want to come to the tea party! 30 best blog posts will receive an invitation. How? you know the drill, get your blog post ready first and then submit your link in the app below! (click here for mobile friendly link http://bit.ly/ZJMnD7).
3. Fifty (50) bloggers from Malaysia will be selected to review Bag of Love's April Edition.
4. Out of the fifty bloggers, thirty (30) will receive exclusive invitations to the Unboxing Tea Party held at Delectable Su, Paradigm Mall on 27th April, 2013 at 11am (session 1) or 2pm (session 2).
5. Bloggers will need to submit a blog post on why they would like to review and/or come to the Bag of Love, Unboxing Tea Party at Delectable Su. Feel free to be creative but do link back to The Butterfly Project's Fanpage.
6. Incomplete entries will be deemed void. E.g missing blog post link.
This is an exclusive collaboration with Bag of Love and Delectable Su.
hello, may I know if its to either blog on why I wanna do a review or go to the unboxing party or do both the posts?
Sorry for the delay in replying to your inquiry! I went to Krabi from 13 - 16 April! Got back at night and been working since. Hope it's not too late for me to answer you.
For the blog post, because we are selecting 50 bloggers to review the bag of love (apr edition) and only 30 will be invited for the tea party, we don't know which bloggers might be interested to just review the bag or would prefer to review it at the Tea Party. Those who can't go to tea party because they're outstation or not free can just blog about why they want to review bag of love :) while those who can go to tea party can just express their joy to do both.
Or do i just can participate on this project?
:) yes just participate and do include in your blog posting that you're from where and that you cannot attend the tea party but would love to review the bag of love!

West Dragon Boats Raise Money for Fox Chase Cancer Center
West Community Affairs
Fox Chase
For the tenth consecutive year, teams from West Pharmaceutical Services are raising funds to support research at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. With the support of our families, friends and neighbors, the West team has raised nearly $1 million for Fox Chase since 2004.
The fund raising campaign culminates with our participation in the Philadelphia International Dragon Boat Festival, which will be contested on October 5 this year. Our dragon boat teams are paddled by some 50 volunteers, primarily West employees and their family members, who raise funds through sponsorships. All of our fund raising pledges and donations go directly to Fox Chase. As an added bonus, the Herman O. West Foundation makes a dollar-for-dollar matching contribution.
In addition to the race, this year's fundraising events including raffles, bake sales and a few surprises.
"We are quite fortunate to have a world-class cancer research and treatment center in our area," said Don Morel, Chairman and CEO. "Many members of the West team and their families have benefited from treatment at Fox Chase. Our support of Fox Chase over the years is in the spirit of West's corporate values and mission. We are truly by the patients' side and we look forward to participating in the Dragon Boat festival this year."

The hamlet of Kingswood as part of Ewell parish - an outlying manor and "liberty"
'The men or jurors of this Hundred declare that 2 hides and 1 virgate, which belonged to this manor in the time of King Edward, have been detached from it, the Bailiffs having appropriated the lands to their friends, as they did likewise a tract of wood and one croft." This, as remarked in Manning and Bray's Surrey, was probably no other than that tract of land which lies on the southern extremity of this parish, and still retains its ancient name of King's-wood. Salmon conjectured that Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, added this land to the neighbouring manor of Banstead, which belonged to him. But whoever may have appropriated the land, it must have reverted to the Crown as early as the reign of Henry II, who gave it, together with Selwood (both as portions of the manor of Ewell), to the Prior of Merton. In 36 Henry III, the right of free- warren here was granted to the prior; and in 1291 Edward I. granted a license to enclose Kingswood, therein stated to be a hamlet in the parish of Ewell, and beyond the bounds of the forest of Windsor.
After the dissolution of the priory of Merton in 1538 this manor reverted to the Crown, and, together with the capital manor of Ewell, was annexed to the honour of Hampton Court. Queen Elizabeth, by letters-patent dated 1563, granted it, with the mansion-house, &c., to William, Lord Howard of Effingham, Lord Chamberlain of the Royal Household, the Lady Margaret his wife, and their heirs male. That nobleman died in 1572-3, but Lady Margaret Howard survived until 1581, when the estate came into the possession of her son Charles, Lord Effingham, afterwards Earl of Nottingham, who was sometime Lord High Admiral of England, and acted as Lord High Steward of England at the coronation of James I. His lordship died in 1624, at Haling House, near Croydon. The eldest son of this peer having died before him, leaving no male issue, this manor, as well as his titles and his other entailed estates, devolved on his son Charles, who died without issue in 1642, and was succeeded by his half-brother, Charles Howard, jun., who also died childless in 1681, when the title of Earl of Nottingham became extinct. On the decease of the second consort of the second Lord Nottingham in 1650-1, the manor of Kingswood, which she had held in dower, is supposed to have come into the possession of Sir John Heydon. That gentleman was the son of Sir Wm. Heydon, a military officer who lost his life in the expedition to the Isle of Rhe in 1627; and in consideration of his services, his son, in 1630, obtained a grant, under letters-patent, of the reversion of the fee-simple of this manor to trustees for his benefit. It seems probable that Sir John Heydon had sold his reversionary interest in this manorial estate, for Mr. Manning says he 'continued so short a time in possession that his name does not appear upon the rolls'.
Sir Thomas Bludworth, Knt., Alderman of London, held a court-leet and court-baron here, as lord of the manor, in 1660. He died in 1682, and was succeeded by his son, Charles Bludworth, Esq., who held the manor till 1701. Thomas Harris, Esq., was the next proprietor, and held his first court in 1708. His son, Thomas Harris, gent., of Banstead, was lord of the manor in 1730: from him it passed to his nephew, John Hughes, whose father, Isaac Hughes, Esq., of Banstead, held a court in the name of his son, then an infant, in 1746. The manorial estate was sold by Mr. Hughes, in 1791, to Wm. Jolliffe, Esq., who, dying in 1802, left it to his son, Hylton Jolliffe, Esq.
There was formerly a chapel in the hamlet of Kingswood, but the time of its foundation is uncertain. It is not noticed in the Valuation of Ecclesiastical Benefices by Pontissara, Bishop of Winchester, towards the close of the reign of Edward I., nor in that of Bishop Beaufort, in Henry VI; but in the deed of endowment of the vicarage of Ewell in 1458 it is expressly mentioned, it being stipulated that the Vicar of Ewell for the time being should be under no obligation to celebrate mass in this chapel, or go to the hamlet of Kingswood to perform any offices of the Church; but the Prior of Newark, who held the rectory, should provide a priest to do duty as chaplain of Kingswood. It was further ordained by this deed that on the decease of any inhabitant of Kingswood, if the corpse were removed to Ewell for interment, the vicar should meet the funeral procession at Provost's Cross, on the south side of Ewell, which is alleged to have been the custom from ancient time. ['This shews,' says Manning, 'that though there was a place of worship at Kingswood, there was no place of interment; and indeed, to this day, the inhabitants of this Hamlet marry, christen, and bury, at the Church of Ewell, and contribute to the repairs of the same.' -Surrey, vol. i. p. 462.] In the return made to Cromwell's commissioners in 1658, it is stated that the living of Chipstead was worth £112 per annum, and that the liberty of Kingswood (a member of Ewell), was fit to be united to that parish, lying five miles from the parish church of Ewell, and within two of Chipsted church; paying all taxes with Chipsted, except church, and poor; having 12 families, and the tithe worth £28 a year. Nothing further, however, was then done, but about the termination of the same century the great tithes of this liberty were purchased and annexed to the vicarage of Ewell by Henry Compton, Bishop of London. At what time divine service was discontinued in the chapel mentioned is not recorded, but a small district church was erected in 1835. It was substantially built in the Norman style of architecture, and was consecrated and dedicated to St. Andrew. Mr. Alcock, the then lord of the manor, gave £250 towards the building of a parsonage-house, and two grants of £200 were made from Queen Anne's Bounty. The ecclesiastical district annexed to Kingswood includes a part of the adjoining parish of Banstead."
b) As shown by the same edition of the newspaper to have been offered by private contract freehold of "The Old Warren situated contiguous to Walton and Kingswood Commons and the turnpike road between Banstead and Reigate....consisting of a very compact farm containing upwards of two hundred acres, with a good dwelling house, stables, granary etc. Also about two hundred and thirty acres of woodlands in hand with a neat newly-built bailiff's cottage etc. The estate is particularly suitable for the Sportsman or Gentleman Farmer; it is at present well-stocked with game but may be rendered one of the best nurseries and most productive spots for game in the whole country. [Recomended] to those gentlemen who may intend to bid for the Kingswood Estate [at Auction]....as the uniting of the two estates would form a compact possession of about one thousand acres."
About the same time, Thomas Jeudwine acquired Pit Place with other land in Epsom and later events suggest that he was the successful bidder for Old Warren Farm, in the liberty of Kingswood, Ewell.
Hyllton Jolliffe of Merstham, having inherited his father William's estates in 1802 held Kingswood Manor in 1804 [Recov. R Trin. 44 Geo III] and leased the manor house and lands as "Kingswood Farm" on 6 September 1806.
The tenant of "old Warren Farm, Parish of Banstead, hamlet of Kingswood", as recorded in Thomas Jeudwine's will dated 10 May 1815, became John Alcock, Attorney, of the Temple. He was alleged to have failed to pay rent or complete an agreement to purchase the real estate (said to have been made about 1810). After Alcock died, "at Kingswood Lodge" on 2 May 1814, Jeudwine took action against John's brother, Joseph Alcock of Putney and Roehampton, Clerk in the Treasury at Whitehall, to compel specific performance in the belief that he had been appointed Executor. It appears that payment into Court was eventually arranged by Joseph Alcock effectively making him purchaser of old Warren farm otherwise "Kingswood Warren" alias "Kingswood Lodge". Joseph Alcock died on 2 August 1821 and his residuary estate seems to have devolved upon his fourth and only surviving son, Thomas.
In 1835 Thomas Alcock bought the Kingswood manorial estate from Col. Hylton Jolliffe, of Merstham, and he became the first Lord of the Manor to reside in Kingswood and to take an active interest in the welfare of its residents. Having re-united the two estates, he set out to extend and update the old house in the Warren, in order to turn it into a country-seat worthy of his new position. His mansion, "embattled and ornamented with turrets in the castellated style", was completed in 1837 as depicted below on an old postcard.
He had been M.P. for Newton in Lancashire 1826-1830 and contested Ludlow in 1837 and 1839. He was M.P. for East Surrey from 1847 to 1865. In addition to the new "Kingswood Warren", Alcock was responsible for the building of nearby St Andrew's church. Thomas Alcock died at Malvern in 1866 and is buried in St Andrew's churchyard.


Somehow the connector broke. Not sure what happened, but the device stopped charging and was therefore completely useless without the dock connector.
The repair itself I thought went quite well. It was fairly tricky. I have repaired a lot of electronics before but taking the screen off and on was the tough part. Unfortunately, after I got everything back together there is a strip of the digitizer that is not working (i.e. the touch sensitivity does not work on a horizontal strip in the middle of the ipad. I'm not sure what I did to make it stop working- whether I damaged the cable, or the digitizer itself. I may never know because it was such a huge pain to get the screen off and on that I may not take it apart to fix it. My girlfriend is pretty happy now that the ipad works at all and is not that bothered by this dead strip on the screen.
Taking the screen off is very tricky. I used the 'iopener' heating device which was quite helpful. I was very ginger with the digitizer and was surpised that is was damaged. I think you may be better off just buying a replacement digitizer and replacing it rather than wasting time trying to be so careful with it.

Q: CSS background image only behind the top x pixels of screen; below (and behind if image at top is transparent) solid color How can I create a CSS background consisting of an image covering the top x pixels of the body and a solid color or gradient below (also spanning behind the top bg picture if it is transparent)?
A gradient can be stacked placed on top of a solid color, so that the gradient fills the entire height of the screen. How can I change the gradient to a picture and only make it x pixels high?
background: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(239,237,224,1) 30%, rgba(255,255,255,1) 100%) top/100% 100vh no-repeat rgba(239,237,224,1);

A: Use a pseudo element for the image:

body {
  min-height:100vh;
  margin:0;
  position:relative;
  background:linear-gradient(red,blue);
}
body::before {
  content:"";
  position:absolute;
  height:100px; /* update this */
  inset: 0 0 auto;
  background:url(https://picsum.photos/id/1069/800/600) center/cover;
}

A: You can have multiple background images - with a mixture of actual images and gradient images.
The first image in the list is rendered on top of the others and so on down the list. You can set the size and positioning and repetition of each separately or together.
In this snippet the individual settings are separated out to make it clearer what is going on:

.bg {
  width: 100vw;
  height: 100vh;
  background-image: url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/ew6J2.png), linear-gradient(to bottom, red,blue);
  background-size: 30vw auto, 100% 100%;
  background-position: center top, 0 0;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
