While there was once a time when the arguments against gay marriage and same-sex civil unions were one in the same, since marriage was considered to be a civil union and vice verse, now that term "civil union" has been assigned to describe same-sex partnerships which receive similar martial benefits in a union that is everything but a marriage, those strongly against gay marriage have settled down in their beliefs that same-sex civil unions and other domestic partnerships should also be denied to our nation's homosexual community.
In the minds of those against gay marriage, after all, the prospect of a civil union law for same-sex couples often suggests that a law authorizing gay marriage is not so far out of reach. And so while the arguments against gay marriage are definitely both more intense and prevalent across the country in comparison to those against same-sex civil unions, to understand where one debate comes from, we must understand the basis of the other.
Over the past decades, the main arguments against gay marriage have been consistent in that they, time and time again, claim the following:
That marriage is a heterosexual institution, that marriage is sacred religious institution, and that marriage is a traditional institution.
That marriage is for procreation, and hence, that homosexual partnerships would ultimately contribute to the human race dying out because of this lack of procreation.
That same-sex couples do not provide a proper environment in which to raise children.
All of these popular arguments against gay marriage and same-sex civil unions however, lack the necessary facts that would otherwise give the statements any real value. Instead, they cement themselves as close-minded expressions of bigotry which play purely on discriminating ideals; and they should hold no place in today's modern world. Those against gay marriage often forget that American law is not, in fact, predicated by religion (and more specifically, by the Bible), and that freedom of religion means freedom from religion, and all of it's attached ideologies, as well.
Those against gay marriage and similar homosexual partnerships also forget that a person's sexual preference does not interfere with the amount of love and support which a parent is capable of providing to his or her children. There are many heterosexual relationships with parents who are addicts, who abuse and abandon, who commit crimes, and who, despite being attracted to the opposite sex, fail to fulfill the proper duties of parenting.
And in many cases, gay partnerships are the ones to step up and adopt children left behind from failed heterosexual marriages, so the issue of procreation (especially when overpopulation affects our world more than anything), once again, holds no worthy place in the debate against same-sex marriages.
So although it is indeed true that several things threaten the so-called "institution" of marriage, for example, relationships which are based on money over love or on green cards over lifelong commitment, and the high divorce rate should be enough evidence of this, homosexuality, and the attached arguments against gay marriage, should not be one of them. Slavery, too, after all, was at one point considered an American "institution" of sorts, but the realization that it was inhumane and morally wrong on so many different accounts eventually did come, in time. One can only hope that the same realization strikes in the ongoing argument against gay marriage.

If you have a glass bong, one common question you may be wondering about is whether you're legally able to carry it around in public, or if a police officer could arrest you for that.
There's no simple yes or no answer, because whether you're arrested will depend quite a bit on any substances in the bong, where you're located and the officer who stops you. To play it safe, your best bet is to avoid openly carrying your glass bong around whenever possible.
Here's what you need to know about the legality of glass bongs.
The Distinction Between Water Pipes and Drug Paraphernalia
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has a long list of items that it classifies as drug paraphernalia, and this list includes items that can be used to either make or consume illegal drugs. It's not a black and white issue with every item, though, as certain items exist in a gray area where they could be considered either a legal item or drug paraphernalia, depending on the use. Glass bongs are one such item.
A glass bong is technically drug paraphernalia, which is why shops don't refer to the item as such. Instead, they sell water pipes and indicate that the items are only intended for use with tobacco. It's basically a loophole, as a glass bong and a water pipe are the same thing.
Now, could you use this as a defense if you were carrying around a glass bong? You could tell any police officer who stopped you that it's a water pipe and you only use it to smoke tobacco. You're within your rights to carry it around if that's the case.
The two potential problems you can run into are whether there's any marijuana resin in the pipe and if the officer fully understands drug paraphernalia laws or not.
If there is any marijuana resin in the pipe, then technically you're carrying around drug paraphernalia.
Even if it's a water pipe that hasn't ever been near any marijuana, you could still end up under arrest if you run into an overzealous police officer. This obviously isn't your fault and a good lawyer could likely get the case dismissed, but it's a major inconvenience.
Penalties for Carrying a Glass Bong with You
The penalties for possession of a glass bong will vary depending on the circumstances surrounding your case and the state you were in when the arrest occurred. Not every state has laws prohibiting possession of a glass bong, and if you're in a state that doesn't, you're unlikely to be arrested for it. This kind of leniency is more common in states with relaxed marijuana laws.
Possession of a glass bong is typically considered a misdemeanor. If you're found guilty or plead guilty, you'll need to pay a fine. On a first offense, you may be able to get the charge taken off your record if you avoid committing any other crimes for a set period of time.
The penalties will increase on subsequent offenses. Another potential issue that can make your penalties worse is if you were in a school zone and carrying a glass bong around. Going across state lines can also be a bigger problem, because then you're breaking a federal law by transporting drug paraphernalia from state to state.
With the complexities and confusion regarding drug paraphernalia laws, it's a good idea to avoid carrying your glass bong around with you. If you decide to do it anyway, make sure it's clean and doesn't have any marijuana residue.

Mozambique flood death toll rises
THE death toll from flooding in Mozambique climbed to about 40 yesterday after four more bodies were discovered in the worst-hit southern town of Chokwe, while the number of people forced to flee has topped 100000.
"They found four bodies in the last 24 hours," the town's mayor Jorge Makwakwa said, adding that Chokwe's flood-ravaged streets were littered with "rotting animal carcasses". He said the 9000 residents who had stayed behind were in urgent need of clean water and food.
The floods, which have also hit South Africa and Zimbabwe, are the result of days of torrential rains this month.
The UN children's agency Unicef said yesterday that about 23000 families had sought shelter in camps in Gaza.
Mozambique's Disaster Relief Management Institute spokeswoman Rita Almeida said yesterday: "Our biggest priority is to reach the people [who are sheltering] in trees."

Julia Roberts to star in TV series Today Will Be Different
Story by Jack Foley
JULIA Roberts is to star in her first TV series, an adaptation of Maria Semple's novel Today Will Be Different, which was published in September.
The book tells the story of a woman named Eleanor Flood who makes plans to have the best day of her life, but wakes up to find a strange new future unfolding.
Semple, who will write the mini-series herself, commented: "I'm giddy that Eleanor Flood will be brought to life by Julia Roberts… This will be a fun ride!"
Roberts' own company, Red Om Films, will produce the series.
Although Today Will Be Different marks Roberts first full series lead, she has appeared on the small screen in the hit shows Miami Vice, Law & Order and Friends.
It is not yet known which network will broadcast the show once filming is complete.
Roberts won an Oscar for best actress in 2001 for her role in Erin Brockovich. She was most recently seen alongside George Clooney in Jodie Foster's Money Monster.

Let me start off by enumerating some things that you a dog owner might be doing to inadvertently teach your puppy or dog to be anxious when left alone:
1. You don't train for alone time
2. You don't exercise your dog before you leave
3. You don't give him anything to do while you are away
4. You ceremoniously announce all your departures and arrivals to your puppy
Sound like you? Hopefully not. Combine all four of the items in the list above and you will surely create a dog whose heart starts to pound the moment you pick up your bag or your keys to the car. You will have a dog who will exhibit one or more stress signs such as refusal to eat, hypersalivation, sweaty paws, uncontrollable bowel and bladder movements and extreme fur shedding. You will have a dog who will be barking, howling or crying incessantly; who will destroy all manner of footwear and furniture while you are gone and who just might get himself hurt in the process, or he might even self-mutilate while you are away.
These, of course, are the very extremes of a dog with separation anxiety. Many times it all starts out with seemingly harmless behaviors that we think are adorable and that we unwittingly encourage, until they escalate to a point where we have created a dog who loses all confidence the very instance he is separated from his family: We think it's kinda cute when our puppy starts to cry and whine when he notices we are about to leave. We talk to him, comfort him with words he doesn't understand then exit the house. The cries get louder and it breaks our heart to hear him in such distress, so we quickly go inside the house again and tell the puppy "It's ok, little puppy, it's ok! I'll be back!" Again, we turn our back on the pup and exit through the door, determined this time to get in the car and leave despite the heart wrenching cries we hear as we go. Some puppies will not suffer too badly from repetitions of this routine and can learn to become calm and will simply sleep or keep themselves occupied once you are gone (hopefully, not at the expense of your favorite shoes) and grow confident about the fact that you will eventually return. But others will become conditioned to worry about nothing else, and with time will grow increasingly anxious – not to mention extremely destructive – when left behind. To be sure your puppy doesn't turn into the latter, I recommend a more pro-active approach to prevent separation anxiety and to help your dog grow up not thinking that the world is near its end every time you go:
1. Exhaust your puppy mentally and/or physically before you leave him alone.
First of all, get into the habit of exhausting your young dog physically and mentally before you leave. If that means waking up a few minutes earlier, then do so. I've always been of the opinion that if the choice to have a new dog was yours, then it is your responsibility to feed him, bathe him, walk him and train him – even if you have the benefit of an army of yayas and relatives at your disposal. Therefore, be responsible and accept the fact that from now on you will be waking up an hour earlier to accommodate your dog's needs in your schedule. It would be completely unfair to your pup if all you do with him in the morning is take him out to potty and feed him and then stuff him back in his crate. Take a few minutes to play or train – 5-10 minutes of some simple obedience exercises sandwiched in between games of chase or fetch or hide-and-seek can be enough to help him settle down for at least a few hours after you depart. It is a good idea to end the interaction by presenting him with a stuffed chewtoy (such as a tasty breakfast Kong) which he can occupy himself with as you leave.
2. Train for alone time
Crate training and chewtoy training are an integral part of alone-time training. First, you want to make sure your puppy is used to being confined to a crate. For more on Crate Training, READ THIS. Second, put away the food bowl and teach your puppy to get his meal by working on a stuffed chewtoy. For this, you will want to supervise him first to check that his chewtoy is appropriately sized and to make sure he gets the hang of what a stuffed chewtoy is all about. During times when you are at home with your puppy, confine him to his crate with his favorite chewtoys (after he's been to potty and has had a chance to play and exercise as described earlier) and practice increasingly longer periods of confinement. Also get him used to being confined in a separate room where you are out of view. Once in a while, and if he's calm, approach and give him some treats in his crate. Never approach his crate or let him out if he is whining, crying or pawing at the crate door. If he does this, wait for the lull and only then approach his crate. That way you are not rewarding or reinforcing the crying and pawing with your attention.
You can also practice short departures out of the house: Leave your puppy in his long-term confinement area with a chewtoy and step outside for a few minutes. Calmly re-enter the house and don't pay attention to your puppy if he is calm and chewing on his toy. As with the crate, you can practice increasingly longer periods of leaving like this.
3. Always leave your puppy with chewtoys to occupy him while your away
As mentioned, during any alone-time your puppy should be kept in his confinement area and be provided with appropriately sized stuffed chewtoys or interactive toys to keep him busy and to help him settle down. For more on Chewtoy Stuffing, READ THIS.
4. Practice calm departures and arrivals. Try changing up your routine.
Ceremonious departures signal to your dog that you are about to leave. Some puppies will be fine with this and understand that you are coming back. But puppies that are particularly attached to their owners, and also highly energetic puppies that have difficulty settling down can pick up on your signals and have their anxieties triggered by watching you go through your morning ritual. When you are ready to leave the house, do it calmly – no need to sneak out like a thief. If you practiced alone-time and set-up all of the above as described your puppy should have no trouble settling down. It's ok to go on your way even if your puppy does start to cry. But if you really must check on him to be sure he's safe in his confinement area, wait for a lull in his crying before you step back in, then leave calmly as before and remember to practice alone-time a little bit more later when you come home.
In some cases, you may also want to once in a while change your morning routine so that the puppy isn't able to predict that you are about to leave.
Be calm when you arrive home in the evenings. You can greet your puppy if he is also calm, but if he is overly excited I would suggest that you give attention to other things first – put down your bag, put away groceries, change your clothes – and then come back to interact with your pup. You may think it's cruel to ignore a puppy that is extremely excited to come and greet you, but just keep in mind that what you are training for is calmness. You will appreciate this when one day you come home incredibly tired, arms loaded with bags of groceries or other things, and instead of bowling you over or scratching up your legs as he is greeting you, your dog approaches, wagging his tail excitedly but keeping all four paws on the ground.
Be on your puppy's side and prepare him for being left alone. As much as it's wonderful to be greeted by a dog who thinks his world can only go on when he is with you, consider the consequences of such extreme attachment when you and your dog are placed in a situation where separation becomes a necessity.
Doc, I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing. Odie doesn't show any signs of panic when I leave. When I get home though, he usually just sits with a wagging tail, perhaps anticipating that I would greet him. But I tend to shower first because I don't want to pass any outside dirt. It's when I shower that he does a cry/howl as if I abandoned him, but stops when I open the door and knows that I'm about to approach his crate. Should I wait for a lull as well before letting him see and hear that I'm coming?
I also admit to having separation anxiety whenever I'm out without him. I'm still learning to get over it 😐Reply
If you can wait for a lull, that would be best. After your shower, and once you open the door to where his crate is, if he was howling right before you entered – take another few seconds or minutes to busy yourself with something else, just to make sure you don't inadvertently reward the behavior with attention. You could also step in and out of the room a couple of times.Reply
Thanks for your comment, Doc Anna!
One thing I failed to emphasize in the article is that there is a difference between true separation anxiety and a puppy or dog becoming destructive just because he is bored. So we just have to be careful about correctly identifying destructive behaviors as being a manifestation of separation anxiety.Reply

Ahhh I'm running really late this month. It's been a really busy month and an ill one too. Not a great start but we are both starting to feel a bit healthier and ready for Christmas. I can't believe the huge milestones Edith has made this month. She amazes us every day.
Sleep had got to the awful 1 hour wakeups again. It was tough. But we've now broken the cycle. My husband settles her so she's not after milk. She's now sleeping so much better and we're back to one or two wakeups a night. Edith is also going for longers stretches of sleep 5/6 hours before needing settling. She did also sleep until 7:15 the other day! That is pretty much unheard of.
Edith will not eat breakfast. We've tried everything but she just has no interest in eating so early. In all honesty she gets this from me I'm much more a brunch kinda person so I think she follows me. She went through a stage before getting her cold of eating all of her dinner. It as amazing as she has always been a picky eater. I don't mean fussy, I mean she will pick at her dinner. No one believes me that she's not a great eater even though she's such a chunk!
Edith is still in 12-18 months and we've gone to 5+ nappies because ASDA has their Christmas design and I'm totally up for Christmas nappies.
Her first steps! - She got brave and let go and took two mini steps. She still has no real interest in walking but takes a few steps when she feels likes it.
So many new words choc choc, toes, tickle, cheese, hello. We can't even remember all of them. It's crazy how many words she has said.
She really knows what she wants. She's more aware of who she is.
Edith Loves
Ketchup (still)
Chocchoc - her advent calendar
Playing with the toy kitchen at the local library (God job Father Christmas knows!)
Mama - She's been very clingy being ill.
Climbing up the window.
The Twirlywoos app on my phone.
Edith Hates
Dr's examinations
Being told no.
Happy 14 Months baby girl!
(excuse the mess on her face and dress, Edith stole my baking)

Family Security Matters
by WALLACE S. BRUSCHWEILER, WILLIAM PALUMBO
This article is addressed to the public in general, but especially the media, i.e., journalists who should know better but don't.
Last week, WikiLeaks released classified documents relating to CIA-funded surveillance programs and techniques. Under the codename Vault 7, Julian Assange's organization has so far disclosed only a small fraction (1%) of the total documents, which they claim to be the "largest intelligence publication in history." The "Year 0" release contains 7,818 web pages and 943 attachments. (You can view the entire Vault 7 'Year 0′ collection here. For a good overview of what Vault 7 consists of and some potential implications, follow this link.)
Some of the more sensational activities documented in Vault 7 explain how the CIA has retained, through electronic and programming loopholes and proprietary technology, an ability to remotely activate a variety of personal electronic devices, enabling them to – for example – listen to private conversations within earshot of your smartphones microphone. Ostensibly, this is also true for cameras (e.g., on your smartphone phone, laptop, iPad, on your television).
For many Americans, this news comes as an unwelcome surprise. Before we continue, let's pause and examine whether the public outcry is justified.

Led by head coach Jackie Bagwell, who enters her 27th year at the helm of the program, and returning an experienced and capable core, the 2017-18 Amherst College women's tennis team will once again look to return to the conference and national postseason after recording a 7-10 overall ledger, and a 4-4 mark in the perennially tough NESCAC, to finish last season the No. 14 ranked team in the nation.
Avery Wagman '18, Vickie Ip '18 and Adrienne Irmer '18 represent the senior class for the Mammoths, with Wagman and Ip putting together solid junior campaigns and Irmer positioned to play an important role on the scoresheet in 2017-18.
A 2016 All-NESCAC selection, Ip returns to the courts ready to be a difference maker after recording a 5-1 overall singles mark and a 4-1 ledger in tour play last season.
A consistent contributor for Amherst over the past two seasons, Wagman is once again primed to be a leader of the Mammoth squad, with the Rye, N.Y. native posting an 8-8 singles record across the middle of the ladder and a 13-8 doubles mark playing out of the second position.
NESCAC and ITA Northeast Rookie of the Year and ITA Singles All-American Camille Smukler '20 leads the way for Amherst's underclassmen, with the Villanova, Pa. native logging a 9-10 doubles mark and a 9-9 overall ledger playing all but one of her dual singles matches from the first court en route to closing out 2016-17 as the No. 15 singles player in the nation.
The Mammoths also welcome back, juniors Kelsey Chen and Camilla Trapness, with the duo stringing together noteworthy sophomore campaigns. Playing exclusively from the No. 2 spot in singles action, Chen notched a 6-7 record, in addition to adding an 8-8 mark from the first court in doubles play. Trapness saw time across the middle courts a year ago, finishing with a 7-11 singles record.
Anya Ivenitsky '20 adds talent to this year's team, with the sophomore looking to improve on an impressive rookie season in which she registered a 8-7 singles mark, including a 5-3 record in conference play, and an 11-8 doubles ledger from the second court.
Sofia Aisiks '19, Kelly Yang '19, Joanna Booth '19, Jane Fraley '19, Ashley Park '19, Maddie Dewire '20 and Jen Chen '20 round out Amherst's returners and will look to add depth and make positive contributions to the scoresheet this season.
In addition to the Amherst veterans, the Mammoths also welcome Catie Burkhart '21 to this year's squad.
The Mammoths open the 2017-18 season at the three-day MIT Invitational on Friday-Sunday, Sept. 15-17, before traveling to Williams for a non-conference dual matchup. Amherst then closes out its fall slate with tournament play, competing at the ITA Regional Championships (Sept. 29-Oct. 1) and the NEWITT Invite (Oct. 13-15).
March features a trip out west for the Mammoths, before Amherst returns home to take on Connecticut College on April 4 at 4 p.m. Amherst then has four road matches, battling Babson (April 6) and Bates, Bowdoin and Emory on April 7, before hosting Williams on Saturday, April 14. The Mammoths finish the regular season with two road and two home contests, traveling to Wesleyan (April 21) and Hamilton (April 22) and hosting MIT (April 27) and Middlebury (April 28).

By Michael Ross, Vice President, Asset Management & Entitlements
Rockspring Capital ended 2015 with two very strong property purchases in booming Austin and Houston submarkets.
The first acquisition is our second tract in the city of Leander, Texas, located just north of Austin. The 19.7-acre lot will be sold in multiple parcels over the next few years as the area continues to grow. The asset is located at the northeast corner 183A and Crystal Falls Parkway, in close range of multiple schools, office complexes and shopping centers.
We are also proud to announce the acquisition of a 5-acre property, which has a small, older apartment community currently on the site, located just north of the Galleria neighborhood in Houston. The plan for this covered land play is to sell the property to a developer who will tear down the buildings and redevelop to meet the rising demand for higher-end single-family residences.
These properties are a great example of the expertise, quality and quick turn potential that Rockspring's portfolio offers to its investing partners. We look forward to even more successful acquisitions in the near future.

The Ultimate Diet Guide – Understand Different Diets
Understanding diet and nutrition has been made more complicated and confusing than nuclear physics.
By Jack Thomas
Not a day goes by without a new study or article being released that tells us everything we thought we knew about diet and nutrtion is wrong (and probably dangerous).
Well, fear not! BASE is here to help you. Sort out the Paleo from the Keto with the ultimate guide to understanding the different diets. These are often talked about, but rarely fully understood.
What this diet guide is NOT
We're not here to tell you what is 'good' or 'bad' for you. Just what the diets are. How they work and any relevant FACTS.
Ultimately, finding the right nutritional approach for you requires some patience and experimentation. As what works for me, may not work for you.
Our coaches at BASE can help you with this process if needed.
OK, let's tuck in!
Low fat
The original diet that was championed by governments. For decades before a shift in policy, the low fat diet restricts the intake of dietary fat. The result is often a diet that is higher in carbohydrates and sugar.
Low carb
This diet started gaining in popularity in the 90s and focuses on limiting your intake of carbohydrates (sugars, starches). This means a higher consumption of fat and protein.
A type of low carb diet, Atkins went viral before social media even existed. The big appeal was that food intake was not measured or restricted, as long as carbohydrates were very carefully controlled and limited. With the Atkins diet there are 4 phases, starting with very low carbohydrate intake that gradually increases and is adjusted over time.
Another low carb approach, a ketogenic (or 'keto' diet) involves consuming a very low amount of carbohydrates, so that the body is kickstarted into a state called 'ketosis'. When in ketosis, fats are broken down in the liver to produce ketones, which become our body's primary fuel source over glucose.
With carb intake typically kept below 50g per day, a ketogenic diet needs to be very carefully controlled and monitored as the ketogenic state can be lost with the consumption of just a single carby snack.
The Paleolithic (or 'Paleo') Diet is, at its essence, quite simple – only consume foods that could have been eaten 10,000 years or more ago.
Paleo-approved: Meat, fish, nuts, fruit, eggs, vegetables.
Paleo-disapproved: Dairy, soy, grains or processed food of any kind.
There is debate about what and how we ate during this period in our history, but it definitely wasn't Doritos and KFC.
Our partner Paleo Robbie is recommended by BASE and delivers Paleo-approved food in Bangkok.
IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros)
Macros refers to the macronutrients fat, protein and carbohydrates.
Also known as 'flexible dieting' If It Fits Your Macros is system of recording your food intake so that you hit certain protein, fat, carb and calorie amounts each day, tailored personally to you and your goals. This diet aims to promote more freedom with eating foods that you enjoy by allowing you to eat anything you want 'if it fits your macro' targets for that day.
For example, if I eat high protein foods in the daytime I would have enough fat and protein grams left in the evening to hit my totals with ice cream.
For more information check out the IIFYM website.
Intermittent Fasting
Often abbreviated to 'IF', intermittent fasting involves taking extended breaks from consuming calorie-containing food or drink. During this time you can typically consume black coffee, tea or anything that does not contain calories.
Numerous reports of IF's benefits and lots of new and encouraging research on IF but the approach is not for everyone.
A popular method is 16:8 whereby you only consume foods during an 8-hour eating window each day, say, midday t0 8pm. Another is taking a 24-hour break from calorie consumption once a week.
Eat Stop Eat is our favourite resource for all things IF.
5:2 Diet
Often labelled as fasting but not technically so as still consuming some calories. However, the 5:2 diet involves eating restricted calories on two days per week – 500 for women, 600 for men – and a less restricted approach on the other five days of the week.
Shot to fame after a BBC documentary on the reported benefits which laid the seeds to many magazine articles and Christmas stocking books.
There are different forms of the vegetarian diet; however, essentially it means eating a diet that does not contain animal meat or fish. Typically they allow dairy, eggs and other animal-derived products.
As much a lifestyle and a philosophy as a 'diet', vegans will not consume any products or foods deriving from animals. This includes, of course, meat and fish and also covers eggs, dairy, leather and even honey. Furthermore, Vegans often follow their diet due to ethical and moral reasons, as well as health.
What is the best diet?
Simple – the one that works best for YOU!
Your body type, your schedule, your personal preferences and your lifestyle will all play a part in determining which way of eating works best.
At BASE we recommend you fully commit to the process of finding out what way of eating you can sustain forever which gives you energy, provides all the nutrients you need and keeps you at a healthy weight.
Have fun with this process and let us know how you're getting on, or if we can help!

Tom Fulghum is a homegrown Arizonan. Born in Bisbee, Tom's dad worked in the copper mines for 40 years.
As Tom was growing up, many thought that he would become a pastor or a musician as he often performed small Christian concerts, playing the piano and singing. Tom was also the student band director his Junior and Senior years and learned to play all of the band instruments.
After graduating from high school, Tom attended Wheaton College in Illinois where he graduated with a degree in Anthropology. Tom says of Wheaton: "Three wonderful things happened there; I met Lois, the girl of my dreams, I felt the Lord's call to become a missionary and I received a good education."
Tom and Lois married and Tom taught for 6 years before they joined HCJB Radio and moved to Quito, Ecuador. HCJB, founded in 1931, was the first radio station with daily programming in Ecuador and the first Christian missionary radio station in the world. Soon after arriving in Quito, Tom got hepatitis and was unable to work for 3 months. A missionary gave him radio and management books to study. Being a creative person, Tom never pictured himself in management, but in a short time he was made the Director of Broadcasting. He enjoyed finding areas where people were gifted and placing them to succeed. By the end of their 27 years in Quito, Tom was the Director of the Latin American region.
In addition to his other responsibilities, Tom enjoyed writing and arranging music with a Latin flavor along with 2 other gifted composers. He had opportunities to create choirs from the local communities and lead the music during evangelistic crusades. The Fulghums moved to Oregon for a year and Tom worked with Louis Palau and helped to set up a mini crusade in Scotland, before being called back to Ecuador to help with HCJB's 50th anniversary celebration.
Over the years, some other areas that Tom was involved with were "Suitcase Radio", where two suitcases contained all that was needed to start a radio station in a new country. Solid Christian groups with a vision for radio ministry were sought out and they were given the radio and the training. He also helped to create a foundation, Association of Andean Ministries (ASOMA), which received TV channels, one in each of three large cities. Tom helped as they worked on programming and acquiring equipment. ASOMA is still active. Tom also felt strongly about national development and started a Christian Communication Center. This college level training taught radio, TV and writing courses to Ecuadorians. A college from New York included the students so that they could earn a degree.
The Fulghums moved to Colorado Springs, HCJB's headquarters, and worked for a few years. As they neared retirement they wanted to move to a Christian community. Their daughter, who lives in Phoenix, encouraged them to come to Arizona and look. Driving by Glencroft in 2013, their daughter felt that they should check it out, though she knew nothing about it. During their visit here they knew this was the place where they wanted to retire. Their home in Colorado sold quickly and they moved here in July 2013.
Tom is involved in the Glencroft Writing Club and says that as he reads back through his journal he can see how the Lord has led him and given him the experiences needed for every job he has done. Tom has also been involved on the GCA Board and helped to get additional video cameras for GTV programming. Tom has presented devotions on Channel 4 occasionally and a few years ago he started the prayer sheet that is distributed on campus.

Military mom honors daycare provider
For the past 10 months, Waterville resident Anna Aguilar has spent time deployed in the Middle East while serving as a Staff Sergeant in the Army National Guard's 34th Red Bull Infantry Division.
This was her third time deployment and Aguilar isn't sure if it will be her last. She has received no confirmation whether or not it will be.
While Aguilar has been gone, her daughter Aurora has attended daycare at Little Wonders Day Care in Waterville, which is owned by Brenda Novack.
Actually, the youngster has been with Novack since she was seven weeks old.
Five years later, Aurora will be attending Kindergarten this fall.
Aguilar, in appreciation of the time Novack has spent with her child, wanted to show her appreciation in a very special way.
Many daycare providers receive flowers, gift certificates, or cards of thanks.

Zenith is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Zenith's most definitive and reputable movement: the "El Primero". To adequately mark the occasion the brand has gone all out with an anniversary boxed set containing three chronographs: we've previously taken a peek at the original "El Primero" model of 1969; a "Chronomaster El Primero" with an optimized movement; now we'll zoom in on the third piece the "Defy El Primero 21" model.
Video courtesy of: Zenith
The "Defy" collection has served to showcase the expertise that can be found at the Zenith factory, as they craft innovative new paths in the horology industry. They showcased their first models back in 2017 with three versions, as we reviewed here.
Later that same year Zenith would further extend this model line with the revolutionary "Zenith Defy Lab" (Ref#: 27.9000.342/78.R582) in a highly exclusive limited edition of only 10 manufacture pieces. This watch was a winner at the "Grand Prix D'Horlogerie De Genève". It intriduced what could potentially be a "game-changing" technical advancement by replacing the industry standard sprung balance with the use of a new oscillator made of monocrystalline silicon, as you can rad more about here.
Video courtesy of: Zenith
The new 150th anniversary box-set edition comes in a 44mm case made of titanium with a transparent case back, which allows to view the inner workings of the mechanical movement. It comes equipped with flat push-pieces that operate the extra chronograph feature, as well as a setting-crown in-between them.
It maintains the same short lugs seen on previous models of the "Defy" collection that integrate seamlessly for the strap, providing a very comfortable wrist fit. All topped by a sapphire crystal, which assists with water resistance on this watch being able to reach up to 100 meters (330 feet).
Time is exhibited on a skeletonized dial with metal applique hour index markers, followed by a grey ring with white printed minute index markers. On the inner flange is a second darker grey ring with a white printed 100-scale that includes Arabic numerals for every 10-minute increment. There is also a "chrono power reserve" indicator on the upper-half of the dial, while the logo inscription "Zenith" and "El PRIMERO 21" has been engraved directly on the sapphire crystal hovering over the dial.
In spite of this being a skeletonized, Zenith left it with three solid counters bearing the original color scheme and configuration present on all of these anniversary editions: a blue 30-minute counter at the 3 o'clock position; a silver 60-minute counter at the 6 o'clock position; and a grey sub-seconds at the 9 o'clock position. The central hands and hour index markers have been fitted with a luminescent coating, for an enhanced legibility; While the thinner chrono hands features the Zenith star logo as a counter-weight.
Zenith Defy El Primero 21
"Zenith Defy El Primero 21" (Ref#: 95.9012.9004.69.R582) is powered by a self-winding in-house mechanical movement, caliber El Primero 9004 with 53 jewels and 36,000 VphIt comes equipped with balance springs made of carbon-matrix carbon nanotube composite. This chronograph runs on its own escapement system, with a balance wheel operating at 360,000 vph. The chronograph has its own power reserve, which is hand-wound and can last up to 50 minutes. Power reserve on this watch can last up to 50 hours, when fully wound.
Mounted to the watch is a black rubber strap covered with black alligator leather, secured to the wrist by a titanium buckle.
This watch is not sold separately, it is part of a limited edition box-set of only 50 manufactured series. For more up to date information visit the official Zenith website here.

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.
A large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.
Starting at the nape/back of the hair, place your brush on top of the section and blow-dryer down starting from the roots and using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Make sure to follow the brush with the blow-dryer in an outwards direction. If you like fuller flicks, hold the ends out and roll them up into the brush and apply the heat for longer.
To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.
To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.
Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the left. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.
Using wax and your fingers grab the mid-lengths of your hair and then drag it out and upwards for a full and messy result. Remember not to overdo the wax or your result will be a flat and greasy style.
Apply wax to your fingertips and then grip the left section of your hair from the mid-lengths and drag it in a forward and down direction for a wispy and textured result.
Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
Your suggestions and ideas are important to us.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - Public and Indian Housing (PIH)
11/04/19 11:59 PM ET Receipt
Grants to USA nonprofits, government agencies, and tribal entities for locally-driven neighborhood improvement strategies in struggling communities. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Program areas include housing, improving neighborhood conditions, and human services.
The Choice Neighborhoods program leverages significant public and private dollars to support locally driven strategies that address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public and/or HUD-assisted housing through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation. Local leaders, residents, and stakeholders, such as public housing authorities, cities, schools, police, business owners, nonprofits, and private developers, come together to create and implement a plan that revitalizes distressed HUD housing and addresses the challenges in the surrounding neighborhood. The program helps communities transform neighborhoods by redeveloping severely distressed public and/or HUD-assisted housing and catalyzing critical improvements in the neighborhood, including vacant property, housing, businesses, services and schools. To this end, Choice Neighborhoods is focused on three core goals:
1. Housing: Replace distressed public and assisted housing with high-quality mixed-income housing that is well-managed and responsive to the needs of the surrounding neighborhood;
2. People: Improve outcomes of households living in the target housing related to employment and income, health, and children's education; and
3. Neighborhood: Create the conditions necessary for public and private reinvestment in distressed neighborhoods to offer the kinds of amenities and assets, including safety, good schools, and commercial activity, that are important to families' choices about their community.
To achieve these core goals, successful applicants have in place a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy, or "Transformation Plan." This Transformation Plan is the guiding document for the revitalization of the public and/or assisted housing units, while simultaneously directing the transformation of the surrounding neighborhood and creating positive outcomes for families.
Experience shows that to successfully develop and implement the Transformation Plan, broad civic engagement is needed. Successful applicants need to work with public and private agencies, organizations (including philanthropic and civic organizations), and individuals to gather and leverage the financial and human capital resources needed to support the sustainability of the plan. These efforts should build community support for and involvement in the development and implementation of the plan.

Approximately 70 people were in attendance for the town ward debate, in which candidates 'sparred' on several issues facing the downtown core.
On the five questions asked by Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA) moderators, every candidate agreed with one another, surprisingly.
All candidates were in attendance: Jason Stabler, Jim Hendry, Diane Therrien, and incumbent councillors Dean Pappas and Bill Juby.
In sequence, these questions were addressed: job creation, the Louis Lot proposal, downtown as a cultural hub for the city, and partnerships with Trent University and Fleming College.
Each candidate agreed that these were important issues or projects, but thankfully there was some difference in how they proposed to achieve results.
For job creation, the candidates agreed that the role of the city should be to support the infrastructure for business.
Hendry would like to see a revitalization of the municipal fund for promoting apartment creation in the downtown core.
Therrien would like to see the city assist small business owners with building upgrades.
Pappas would have Trent extend their campus downtown for a number of programs.
Stabler suggested that "developers like rules", so the city's role should be to impose those rules.
Juby vaguely put forward the idea that the city should provide amenities that make downtown attractive to developers.
The Louis Lot is the parking lot where the weekly Wednesday Farmer's Market takes place on Charlotte St. It has been proposed that this lot be converted into an urban park/city square.
All candidates were in agreement that this project should move forward.
Therrien would add a children's play structure to the plans.
Stabler suggested that some money allocated to the Parkway Corridor development should be reassigned to this project.
Hendry would like to see the project moved up in the schedule possibly with funds reallocated from the maintenance budget for Morrow Park.
The candidates responded positively to the suggestion that the downtown become a hub for arts and culture in the city.
Pappas stated that the Municipal Cultural Plan (MCP) (available online) needs to be supported by the city through zoning.
Stabler supports initiatives to bring the Canoe Museum and Art Gallery of Peterborough (AGP) brought to the downtown core into prominent buildings.
Juby supported the idea of bringing art institutions downtown, but was critical of proposals that would see buildings used which are not for sale.
Hendry thought that the AGP was fine in its location by Little Lake, but could be made accessible with improvements to Millennium Trail.
Finally, the DBIA moderators suggested that greater partnerships with the local post-secondary institutions, Trent University and Fleming College, could stimulate downtown growth.
Stabler supported this idea, but would see that Peterborough streetscapes remain intact. Juby suggested bringing business students downtown and setting up internships with local businesses. Hendry suggested that the Centre for Healthy Aging among other programs would be benefitted and beneficial to downtown. Therrien supported the idea of bringing more Trent programs downtown as well, while Traill College currently does not have the numbers desired for this goal. Pappas suggested that Trent and Fleming use the old PCVS building for its lecture hall and potential student spaces.
The evening was cordial and, despite an abysmal student presence, matters of the university arose frequently.
Town Ward is home to a large student population, making it key for candidates to address such questions.
The municipal election is being held on October 27, but online voting opens on October 14. Trent students who are Canadian citizens and living in the city are eligible to vote, but must register ahead of time online.

Telecable and their modem?
Simon posted a topic in Ajijic/Chapala/GuadalajaraMy sister arrived here in September and had Telecable installed on Santa Isabela, Riberas. She has had problems with them but when she left everything was working. She has since gone home. We arrived on Tuesday and we have no internet. I assumed that the modem had died because there is not indication it has power. No lights etc. I went to Telecable on Tuesday and they told me they created a work order and they would be around some time this week. Needing Internet my wife went there today and was told oh no we are not sending someone around. The Internet is being worked on and will be fixed soon. My wife said but the modem is dead, no power. They said no no when Internet back modem will work. My question is this. Hitron CVE-30360. Are there any lights that come on when this modem is plugged in? The electric socket is working. Thanks in advance. I need to know whether they are correct about the modem or whether I need to visit them again with the modem and prove it has no power.
Chapala Haciendas 3
eagles100 posted a topic in Ajijic/Chapala/GuadalajaraAnyone here live in Chapala Haciendas 3? What is it like there? How's the internet speed? Is there only Telmex and not Telecable too? Is the water delivery consistent? How often do you get water delivery from the street to your house? Is the water pretty clean? Anything else of interest to know? ~ thanks
BYO Cable Modem?
dixonge posted a topic in Ajijic/Chapala/GuadalajaraThis might be a silly question, but I'm wondering if I can use my own cable modem with Telecable (for internet). The last time I was there they provided a small box with one port, but I have one here with 4 ports and am trying to figure out what to sell/keep before we fly down the 28th.
Internet - Telecable has horrible service
SYSY posted a topic in Ajijic/Chapala/GuadalajaraHi All, This won't be news to those of you that have Telecable, but if you don't, avoid it. They have - in their own words - totally oversubscribed the service for the equipment they have at Lakeside. Basically, they have too many customers for the system they have. Their method of dealing with it is simple - they simply dump you offline when the network gets overloaded. This makes it almost impossible to stream anything and Skype calls get dropped as well. I know the technicians - who are happy to "fix" it for a fee - a fix that does not work, so don't call them (good luck with that too) unless you have no service at all. According to them, the fix mean buying a new and expensive piece of equipment to handle more connections and a better link to GDL - this costs money, so... nope. While I was paying my bill yesterday, they told me all this while at the same time they had a lady sitting there just ready to sign up new subscribers. So, they give zero "f__ks" about you. Try calling them - ask for sales - it goes right thru and you get a helpful person to sign you up and take your money - then call tech support and go into the black hole of waiting forever - they frequently just disconnect you. I don't have a choice, but you do and unfortunately, it's not good - Telmex is slow and even slower to fix problems. Good luck out there! Sysy
Internet provider options
PedroMoreno posted a topic in Ajijic/Chapala/GuadalajaraWe're currently with Telecable and Telmex in Chapala, Las Redes. Telecable offers higher speed but is more unreliable than Telmex. We require high speed and unlimited data. Are there any other internet provider options that anyone can recommend?
Telecable Issues
gfresh posted a topic in Ajijic/Chapala/GuadalajaraFor the past two weeks my Telecable in Ajijic centro has been intermittent. In the mornings it's fine, solid connection, full bandwidth. But as the day wears on the connection drops out completely for no apparent reason for anything from a few minutes to a half hour. Then it come back as if nothing is wrong. It seems to be worst in the evening. Web pages won't load, returning a message "DNS Probe Complete - No Internet". Modem and router all indicate connectivity, but that's not the case. Anyone else seeing this kind of issue?
I know this topic exists but comments are old. I am moving to Ajijic Village in 2 weeks and am trying to decide between Telecable and Telmex. I don't care about TV as I have a streaming box, but to use it and my Vonage, I need good Internet speed. Telmex said that the don't provide more than 2-3 Gbts. Telecable promises 15. Do you know they charge more than in GDL? What do you recommend?

Telecable bought out by Izzi Telecom
Intercasa posted a topic in Ajijic/Chapala/GuadalajaraTelecable service has been getting worse and worse. We even filed a complaint today in PROFECO against them. Their local office has no manager and the send button doesnt work to send complaints on their web page. I went to pay by bill for service in Guadalajara in Zapopan and all Telecable signs were down and now they are Izzi Telecom. They have been laying new fiber optic cabling here in Guadalajara, hopefully things will improve soon in Chapala. The representative said the new owner is investing alot, looks like they have good prices. https://www.izzi.mx/home
