The students of Shelby Intermediate School find different ways to put�leadership skills to test in their daily lives.
For Grady Morgan, learning to be proactive rather than reactive has helped him keep calm while playing basketball and soccer even when his team isn�t winning.
Aiyanna Ross said she uses leadership habits she has learned while working in groups in class.
�I take everybody�s ideas and make it into one really good one,� she said.
Shelby Intermediate invited business owners and community leaders from different fields to the school Friday to get a firsthand look at the leadership qualities students learn through "The Leader in Me" program.
Student leaders showed groups of visitors around the school, taking them into classrooms to watch classes make comic strips and vision boards, play games, and take on different efforts to further their leadership skills.
One group of students set up a wax museum, where they dressed up as famous figures from North Carolina including Michael Jordan, Kellie Pickler, and Earl Scruggs. Students stood absolutely still until a visitor would approach, when they would rattle off facts about their figure in character.
The staff at Shelby Intermediate School put an emphasis on the fact that today�s students will be tomorrow�s employees and leaders.
Media Specialist Amanda Buchanan said the aim was to connect kids with the community.
�We teach more than reading and writing and math here, and so that�s what we want you to see today,� she said. �We�re wanting to talk about (being) student leaders today and working leaders tomorrow. We want you to know that we are preparing them for the next step.�
Lindy Wease, who works at the North Carolina License Plate Agency in Shelby, has seen the school�s leadership program in action at home, because her son is a current Shelby Intermediate student and her daughter is a former student.
Wease said she watched her kids become more prepared and self-motivated through the program.
�I will have to say it�s one of the best programs that I�ve ever seen in a school,� she said.
The student tour guides took ownership of the program, taking the time to tell their visitors about decorations in the hallways and how they related to what they learn in the classroom.
�I liked being involved with all the people to help them learn more about our school,� Morgan said.

McLaren & Carbon
When it comes to building cars with carbon fiber composites, there probably isn't a company that is more obsessive about it than McLaren Automotive, which is a company that has existed since 2010 selling cars to well-heeled consumers, and which is an outgrowth of the racing activities of McLaren. It put a carbon fiber chassis in the 1981 McLaren MP4/1 race vehicle, which was followed by its introduction of the 1993 McLaren F1 (name notwithstanding, a road car). One recent example of the consequences of this composite intensity is the 570GT, which the company describes as "the most practical model ever launched by McLaren Automotive." This is a two-seat vehicle that is powered by a twin-turbo V8 that produces 562 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. It goes from 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of 204 mph. It is 178.3 inches long, 82.5 inches wide, 47.2 inches high, and has a wheelbase of 105.1 inches. It has a mass of just 2,796 pounds. Or, as it is reckoned in the U.K., it has a power-to-weight ratio of 416 hp per tonne (or per 2,204.6 pounds).
Jeep Goes Light for Moab
Since 1967, the Jeep faithful have been traveling to Moab, Utah—which is in eastern Utah, pretty much close to nothing (i.e., the nearest "big" city is Grand Junction, Colorado, population 61,880)—for the Easter Jeep Safari, which started existence as a one-day trail ride hosted by the Moab Chamber of Commerce, and has turned into a nine-day event.
Featured Content
And for the past 52 years, the designers and engineers at Jeep in southeastern Michigan (previously in a building on Plymouth Road in Detroit, now at the FCA complex in Auburn Hills) have been creating concept Jeeps that they bring out to Moab. While this started as something of a skunkworks effort by the Jeep personnel—all of whom are engaged with the brand in ways that most companies wish their employees even had 5 percent of the commitment—with their developing things in spare moments, it has become part of the Jeep culture, creating Jeeps for Moab that have elements which may become part of production vehicles.
One of the themes that has been part of the development for the past few years has been lightening of the products. In 2011 they introduced the Jeep Wrangler "Pork Chop." As in chopping the pork, as in eliminating the doors, top, tailgate, bumpers, carpet and sway bars.
They went to suppliers—like QMC for a prototype aluminum/carbon fiber hood; Hanson Bumpers for aluminum bumpers, and sister company Mopar for an aluminum cold-air intake kit, lightweight fender flares and more. In all, the weight of the Pork Chop Wrangler was reduced by more than 850 pounds compared to what they started with.
In 2013 for Moab they developed the Wrangler Stitch based on the Wrangler Rubicon. They took out the audio system as well as HVAC. The rear seats: gone. The front seats replaced with those used for the 2013 SRT Viper. The doors were eliminated. They cut out sections of the body. They shaved weight from the frame and axles. They replaced the hood with a carbon fiber version. They replaced the standard lower control arms, floor pan and fuel tank with aluminum versions. They reduced the size of the windshield by two inches. They replaced the soft top material with vinyl. They simply took out weight wherever possible.
And then there is the 2018 Easter Jeep Safari lightweight Wrangler, the Jeep 4SPEED, which is pretty much lightweighted so that they can get the most out of the 2.0-liter I4 turbocharged engine. The hood: carbon fiber. Fender flares: carbon fiber. The rear tub: carbon fiber . . . with perforated aluminum panels. They use perfed aluminum panels for the foot wells, as well. They shortened the length of the Wrangler by 22 inches.
Perhaps the most DIY element of the 4SPEED: they are using a welding curtain as the top of this Jeep.
2019 GMC Sierra: Light & Strong
In all of automotive, the place where there is clearly the greatest efforts to reduce mass is in the light-duty pickup segment. According to Autodata (motorintelligence.com), in 2017 there were 2,370,503 of these vehicles sold in the U.S. The whole effort was kicked off in a rather significant way when Ford went with aluminum for the skin of the 2015 F-150: sure, there had been aluminum hoods in the past, but here was a case where the body went nonferrous.
According to Ford the "high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys—already used in aerospace, commercial transportation, energy and many other rugged industries" contributed to a weight-savings of up to 700 pounds for the entire vehicle, although one could argue that the high strength steels used in the frame as well as changes to the powertrain helped reduce mass, too.
The latest pickup to have a notable change is the 2019 GMC Sierra Denali, which will become available with the CarbonPro. According to Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global GMC, "In 116 years of making GMC pickup trucks, our industry-first carbon fiber box is the toughest and most durable pickup box we have ever made."
Realize that GMC has used, and will continue to use, steel for the inner panels and floor of its pickup boxes. But those opting for the CarbonPro will have those surfaces replaced with a carbon fiber composite that will reduce the weight of the box by 62 pounds.
It should be noted that they are using aluminum—for the hood, doors and tailgate—and steel—for the fenders, roof and non-CarbonPro boxes. According to GMC, they've managed to reduce the weight of the 2019 Sierra by up to 360 pounds compared with a 2018 model.
Lambo—Not Entirely Surprising
First of all, we have to start with something of a disclaimer, or at least something to put this exercise in exquisite lightweighting into its proper context: "In 2017, for the seventh consecutive year, Automobili Lamborghini set a new production record, with 3,815 road cars delivered."—Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.
That makes Tesla production seem downright productive. (And one of the things that are rarely mentioned vis-à-vis Tesla is that the Model S and the Model X are aluminum-intensive vehicles and the Model 3 features an aluminum and steel combo.)
That said, it is worth noting that when it comes to reducing mass, the people at Sant'Agata Bolognese are doing a masterful job.
Consider the Huracán Performante Spyder, which was introduced earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show. It has a 640-hp, 5.2-liter V10 and permanent all-wheel drive. It goes from 0 to 62 mph in 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph.
Now the Spyder is, of course, a convertible version of the Huracán Performante, which was introduced at the 2017 Geneva show. (The electro-hydraulically actuated roof, incidentally, opens in 17 seconds, which isn't particularly blistering, speed-wise.)
The vehicle's body is essentially aluminum over a hybrid aluminum and carbon fiber frame.
Yet there is extensive use of composite—Lamborghini's own Forged Composite materials (this is fundamentally based on carbon fiber sheet molding compounds that contain chopped carbon fiber tows sandwiched between resin materials; Lambo developed this process along with Callaway Golf Co.—for structural applications including the front and rear spoilers, the engine cover, rear bumper and aerodynamic diffuser; these applications contribute to a mass reduction of 88 pounds compared with non-composite materials.
The car uses Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA), an active aero system that the company has developed. For example, there is an electric motor integrated with the front spoiler and movable flaps, contained within a carbon fiber frame. Flaps closed: high downforce; flaps open, drag is reduced. And there are ducts around the car and the rear spoiler operates analogously to the front.
One interesting aspect of the ALA components, made with the Forged Composite method, that are used is that they have a gloss surface, but they aren't coated with color such that the components are, as put by the company, "naked."
Ah, the Italians.

Public Lawyer Referral Services in Nassau County
LegalMatch can quickly connect you to qualified attorneys in your area. There's no cost to use this online matching service and lawyers are available for all areas of law.
The people in Nassau County have two choices when it comes to public lawyer referral services: the New York City Bar's Lawyer Referral Service, and the Nassau County Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service.
The New York City Bar's Lawyer Referral Service provides referral services to residents of Nassau County. This service, like many others, operates off of a list of lawyers, referring the next lawyer on the list to a client. In order to use this service, a client must call in and give the background information about their situation. Then, a New York City Bar employee will take this information into the system and refer the next lawyer on the list to the client. Although the attorney's background is not checked, this service requires that any attorney referred through the system be in good standing with the state bar. There is a $35 fee, which entitles the client to a half-hour consultation meeting with the referred attorney. There is no satisfaction guarantee, so if the lawyer that you are referred to does not want to take your case, then you must go through the referral procedure again.
The Nassau County Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service is the other public option that residents of Nassau County have. Like the New York City Bar Association's referral service, clients are referred to an attorney after a phone call, and for an administrative fee are given a 30 minute consultation meeting with the referred attorney. Attorneys must be in good standing with the state bar in order to be referred through this service, but like the previous referral service, there is no guarantee of the attorney's background. As well, the client is left with much of the work to do on their own.
These public lawyer referral services are valuable but incomplete. The services will find an attorney who practices in the field you desire but it does not necessarily find you the right lawyer for your case. Research about the attorney's suitability and interest in the case still needs to be done, which can be very time consuming and expensive.

I'm inspired to write today's post by a couple of things.
First. I need some urgent, very expensive dental work done – so expensive it is going to completely wipe out my savings (such as they are). While I'm pleased that I have savings that I can use to pay for it and that I won't need to borrow or use credit, I'm stressed because I was enjoying having that buffer between me and flat-brokeness and because it was intended to be part of a larger bundle of savings that will eventually enable me to buy my own place to live.
The second inspiration is a post on The Greening of Gavin about the challenges of meeting the goal of living in a manner that is both frugal AND sustainable. I love Gavin's blog, he has documented his sustainability journey with a refreshing and candid honesty that appeals to me so much.
Where is the connection between these 2 inspirations? Well, in order to minimise the shock and awe effect of emptying my savings account into the dentist's account I am going to have to consider some aspects of my spending routine and live a little (a lot?) more frugally in order to recoup that money as quickly as possible. I've lived on a really low income before – it wasn't much fun but we all survived. Unfortunately, since starting full time work and having a little more income to play with, I've fallen out of quite a few (but not all) of my good habits.
One of the things Gavin raises in his post is that sometimes the choices we make or the things we buy in the name of frugality don't meet sustainable or 'green' criteria. He uses the example of cheap trinkets in $2 shops and indeed, if you trawl the internet for frugal living tips, or look at well respected sites such as Simple Savings or Cheapskates the use of products from these shops features highly. However, while you can decorate your home cheaply for Christmas from one of these shops for example (and I use them as much as the next person) there are all sorts of issues with this from an environmental or sustainable perspective – read Gavin's post to take this further.
You only have to look at my blogroll to realise that sustainability and green-ness are becoming increasingly important to me. I'm still a minnow in this field, still at the stage where I understand this is important, I understand that there are plenty of things I can do to get onto this path, I understand that there are actually quite a few things I am already doing – but am still making excuses about it being a bit too hard.
I have 3 weeks off over Christmas and into the New Year. I need to use that time to do some serious thinking, planning and calling myself out on my excuses. I need a plan for 2011 that will enable me to recover my savings that won't compromise my goal of walking lightly on the earth. I (literally) can't afford to keep coming up with reasons why it's too hard. My partner and kids are both supportive of efforts towards sustainability (well, perhaps not the kids soooo much) but truly? Only I can make the changes I need to make – the rest will just follow on. I've been looking for something to get interested and passionate about – perhaps this is it.
Epiphany by dentist's bill? Who'da thunk?

He was a voracious reader of newspapers, mysteries and action novels, loved puttering in his yard and workshop, and never tired of watching repeats of any James Bond movie. His favorite times were holiday visits with all of his grandchildren and children at grandma and grandpa's house.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Julia (Couto) Derrig; children, David Jr. and wife Lauren of Littleton, Mass., Deborah Dauray and husband Jack of South Kingstown, R.I., and Michael Derrig and wife Lorraine Borden of Madison, N.H.; grandchildren, Michael, Andrew, Matthew, and Emily Derrig, and Brandon and Brianna Dauray; and several wonderful nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws.
A private memorial service and celebration of his life with family and friends will be held in Maine in the spring.

LONDON — If the ruling Conservative party obtains a big majority in the general election in June this year, it will make it more likely for Britain to seal a trade transitional deal — a leeway period or phased process of implementation of Brexit agreements for the UK with the European Union.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch UK economist Robert Wood and his team, said a large Tory majority government as being hugely beneficial to Britain's Brexit negotiations in a note to clients.
Here is the key part of the note:
"But we see today's events as economically positive at the margin. In a scenario of a large Conservative majority, the chance of no Brexit trade deal at all – falling off the trade cliff edge – would decline in our view and the chance of a transition period increase.
"Why? Shoving out the next election after the 2017 election from 2020 to perhaps 2022 gives room for a transition period out of the EU before the next election."
Prime Minister Theresa May is taking Britain towards a "hard Brexit" — shorthand for Britain leaving the European Union without access to the Single Market in exchange for having full control over immigration.
A large Conservative majority, the chance of no Brexit trade deal at all – falling off the trade cliff edge – would decline in our view
However, economists, lobby groups, and businesses have pushed the government for a transition deal that will allow Britain to have more time to adjust to the big change.
At the beginning of April, major finance lobby group AFME said Britain's banks and other professional services institutions are going to struggle to fully prepare themselves for Brexit within the two-year deadline.
A transitional deal would be a temporary arrangement which would be in place from the minute that Britain leaves the EU at the end of the two-year Article 50 process until an expiry date agreed during the negotiations.
Basically, it would be a bridge between Britain ceasing to be an EU member in March 2019 and a point further down the line when Prime Minister Theresa May feels the country will be ready and equipped to complete its full divorce from all EU institutions.
Earlier this month, member countries of the EU signed European Council president Donald Tusk's strict set of guidelines that detail how the bloc will approach negotiations with Britain over its withdrawal from the EU.
The core points in Tusk's guidelines as are that "Britain will have to accept the EU's laws, court and budget fees if it seeks a gradual transition from the single market."
In other words, the UK will have to accept big fees and abide by EU laws and processes if it wants to be granted a transition deal. The EU is making this a "red line" in negotiations.
How people are likely to vote in the snap election
May called for an early general election on Tuesday. May said that an election will take place in just six weeks' time on June 8, saying it is in "the national interest" to do so.
May said an election victory for the Conservatives would "guarantee certainty and stability for the years" and give her the public support to deliver her policies, including Britain's imminent departure from the European Union.
On Wednesday, MPs voted in favour of a snap election.
Meanwhile, all polls are in line with those taken before May's call for a snap general election.
A YouGov survey published on Sunday night showed that 44% of Brits intends to vote for the Tories at the next election, up 2% on the company's last poll. 23% of respondents said they plan to vote Labour. Labour would need a massive shift in public sentiment to win a June election, these polls suggest.
The Times and The Telegraph also published data that said pollsters expect the Tories to win by a 100 seat majority while financial spread betting firm IG Market predicted amount of seats each party will win as follows:
- Conservatives — 370 seats (gain of 40 seats on current Parliament make up)
- Labour — 177 seats (loss of 52 seats)
- Liberal Democrats — 34 seats (gain of 25 seats)
- Scottish National Party — 50 seats (loss of 4 seats)
- UKIP — 1 seat

Management Consulting, it isn't just about firing people
We sometimes give ourselves a bad name. We have been extremely successful at reducing operational costs at dozens of companies. But when we talk about that with friends and colleagues it all too often turns to, "oh, so you fire people." It's a lot more than. Yes, in many cases we are called in to advise companies when their businesses have slowed down, and they need to quickly reduce costs, for many, the first largest target is its people. But there are a number of other areas that should be explored first. Areas that often can provide faster access to capital and liquidity. You would be surprised just how much you can save by asking and looking in the less obvious places. Yes, you may have people in the wrong places, a team or division may no longer be profitable or strictly necessary but the good thing about people is that they can quickly be repositioned to do other things. We've moved accountants from the back office to the front lines, we've moved customer service personnel to sales and we've repositioned internal IT cost centers into revenue-generating products.
If your back is against the wall, it's the perfect time to try something completely different. Chances are doing the same thing is what led you into that corner.

Getting pregnant is one of the most amazing things to happen to women who want it but not all these women know what to expect while pregnant.
Even though they have heard stories, read books and have been briefed by their doctors, they are still shocked at some things that go on in their body.
While being pregnant is a wonderful thing, it also carries with it, its own stress that many would wish they were left alone.

I was so sick I couldn't leave the house most days. Not to talk of working. Throwing up. And so weak I could barely move. I was practically bedridden.
while all this was happening, my body was changing. In some ways I expected, and in some ways that were shocking.
the worst part of all my pregnancies was the bad taste in my mouth. Jesus. I can't describe how awful it was. Because it meant that I always had to have something in my mouth to counteract it. Or else I would throw up.
some days, just waking up and tasting that bitterness would make me burst into tears. My depression was front and centre during my last pregnancy because of it. I don't know how I survived honestly.
your body is like an alien entity. It feels like it's fighting against you most of the time. It rejects all the things you need for self-care when you're pregnant.
pregnancy can also be very isolating. Because you're so sick and you're never sure WHEN you're going to be sick, you don't want to spend time with anyone. But then you feel isolated because you WANT to talk to other human beings.
the things that are happening to your body, while awe-inspiring, can also be extremely exhausting. Skin stretching, muscles loosening in ways that hurt… At some point during my 3rd pregnancy, I had to walk around with a walking stick.

Because the muscles in my knees, hips and thighs had softened so much that they couldn't carry my body without setting my nerves on fire. So I needed a walking stick to even get out of bed. Same happened to @AfricanCeleb
the heartburn. Oh lawd. If you eat too little, the acids in your stomach get over-excited and give you heartburn. If you eat too much, the acids in your stomach get over-excited and give you heartburn.
everyone feels they have a right to your body when you're pregnant. From complete strangers to medical personnel. Your body is fair game, a place to settle scores with each other.
1st pregnancy: while in labour, heard nurse1 complaining to nurse2 that doc doesn't let her take deliveries alone, like she used to in previous hosp. He left and told her to let him know when I'm fully dilated, so he cud take delivery. She didn't.
she rushes me through delivery, so she can brag to doc that she did it alone. I end up with massive tears that take months to heal. Never the same since then.

The ISIS might be the worst terrorists, but it is Sad that many Muslims get maligned for the actions and doings of Some.
In India, as in Most parts of the World, People of All Religions have Co-Existed, for Ages. The Exceptions are the Hotheads, of all Creed.
Am Very Grateful to these Brothers and Sisters of the Muslim community in Pakistan for having built that Church. Al'Hum Dullillah!
May the Almighty Bless Us All! Regards.

patent applications is never easy, but every now and again the diagrams actually make it obvious -- and it looks like Steve and his elves are hard at work on large-format touch interfaces, possibly for a tablet Mac of some kind. The latest touch-related filing is some 52 pages long and details everything from working with multiple finger inputs to onscreen keyboards how window controls would work, but we're mostly transfixed by the claw-like demon-hands that seem to be operating all this kit -- apparently Apple engineers have the same nightmares as the rest of us. If we had to bet, we'd say that a tablet Mac is still a long ways off, but we've been wrong before -- and there's always a chance Steve's got something wild in store for next month.

- This item used to be called The Godfish before Patch 2.3. It was possibly changed to avoid confusion with Bag Full of Gold Fish, another Vinnie upgrade.

For most people, losing weight is like nuclear physics. They have no idea how to do it and try the wrong methods and diets, hoping that they will help them achieve their goals.
However, in most cases, these methods fail and people start blaming their genetics. This is far from the truth.
Here are some basic rules you need to follow in order to lose weight:
1. High Protein Diet – You need to consume food rich in protein, but with lower calories. Some foods you should consider are meat, eggs, pulses, fish, fruits, veggies and more. Rice, soft drinks and sugary foods should be avoided.
2. Foods that boost metabolism – Some of these foods are herbs like ginger, garlic, clove and dry fruits. They also improve your digestion and prevent the fat from accumulating in your body.
3. Exercising around 20 minutes – You don't need to go overboard or go to the gym, you can do some exercising at your home. Do squats, HIIT exercises, Tabata training or more ways to make your body speed up its metabolism and lose weight. You should also consider running and pace walking.
4. Don't consume spicy and oily foods – consuming these foods will increase the water weight in your body.
Just following these 4 simple steps will do wonders for your weight-losing goals.
So, try them out.

London's 328-year old Lloyd's insurance market will definitely create an office somewhere within the European Union and move some of its operations to the continent in reaction to the UK's Brexit vote.
The Financial Times reports that the insurance market, the world's oldest, has created a shortlist of five possible destinations for the new subsidiary and will put a proposal before members of the market early next year, before the triggering of Article 50.
Lloyd's, the non-stock market listed group which focuses on marine, energy, and political risk insurance, will set up a subsidiary in a country that will still be part of the EU because of a Brexit will likely strip the UK of its financial passport — the right to operate across the remaining 27 EU nations.
According to Lloyd's, last year business within
the European Economic Area "accounted for £2.93 billion or 11% of Lloyd's Gross Written Premium." It does not want to risk that 11% once Britain leaves the EU, so will now set up elsewhere.
"Insurance is a mobile business," Lloyd's of London chairman John Nelson said, according to the FT. "In common with other financial institutions, we need to put our plans in place — at least on a precautionary basis."
Ideally, Lloyd's would keep 100% of its operations in the UK, but realises that the UK's potential loss of financial passporting could severely hinder its ability to operate in Europe, and it simply does not want to take that risk.
The move has been heavily trailed, with CEO Inga Beale saying in an interview with the BBC in September that Brexit fallout "is a major issue for us to deal with" and that leaving the EU could make the group lose 4% in revenues so it is looking to set up a subsidiary or branches within the bloc to make sure it counteracts some of that hit.
"It's the lack of certainty for our clients. Business cannot hang around," she said. "Boards are going to insist that they make plans [for life after Brexit]. Boards are going to insist that they make plans [for life after Brexit]," Beale said.
"Some people may end up doing their jobs in other parts of Europe rather than in London."
According to figures from the Financial Conduct Authority, released by the House of Commons' Treasury Select Committee in September, 5,476 UK firms have at least one passport that allows them to do business in other EU and European Economic Area nations. Many firms hold several passports, meaning that the total number in the UK stands at 336,421.
The loss of passporting rights following Brexit is probably the biggest fear in the City of London right now. If the passport is taken away, then London could cease to be the most important financial centre in Europe, costing the UK thousands of jobs and billions in revenues.
It now appears that the City of London will not be given any special treatment during the UK's Brexit negotiations and the government is ready to let businesses leave.
"There was quite a blunt warning that politically the Government does not want to be seen to do a deal to favour rich bankers if it doesn't comply with Brexit voters' wishes – that there is more to the negotiation that just the City," an unnamed "industry leader" told The Daily Telegraph last week after a summit between ministers and key City figures, including Beale.

Fake 'Don 2' songs on internet
The song "Rehmat", which has been floated on the internet, is not from "Don 2", clarified the makers of the film
The song "Rehmat", which has been floated on the internet, is not from "Don 2", clarified the makers of the film.
"There is a fake song claiming to be from Excel Entertainment's forthcoming 'Don 2' doing the rounds on the internet and the popularity that the film and character has amongst the audiences, fans are downloading the song as they think it's from the film," said a statement issued by the film's publicist.

"Please note that the song is not from the film and someone is just using it to publicise that particular song. The 'Don 2' soundtrack will be released in the market shortly and there will be an official communication in that regard," added the statement.
"Don - Chase Begins", a remake of Amitabh Bachchan-starrer 1978 movie "Don", came in the year 2006. Directed by Farhan Akhtar and starring Shah Rukh Khan, the film was a hit. Now the same team will be seen in part two, which is releasing Dec 23.

Our pastor preaches expository sermons through books of the Bible. An "expository sermon" is basically viewing the point of the Bible passage as the point of the sermon. And because we believe that all the Scriptures are about God's redeeming work in and through Jesus Christ (see Luke 24:25-27; Colossians 1:28), every sermon will point to and celebrate Jesus Christ. The good news of Jesus will bring joy and encouragement, and sometimes it will wound as our true hearts are exposed. But we want every individual to know that God has a good and wise plan for their life. We believe that God wants to transform lives, not leave us conformed to this world.
Our Sunday worship service begins at 10:30am and typically concludes by 12:00.

With the 64th installment of the USA-Mexico rivalry approaching, U.S. men's national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann settled on his 22-man roster on Sunday.
Thirteen MLS players, along with five from Liga MX, two from Europe, one from the NASL and one from the college ranks, account for Klinsmann's predominantly North America-based selection, largely due to the match falling outside of a traditional FIFA international date.
The U.S. will be without the services of captain Clint Dempsey, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury, and forward Jozy Altidore, who will serve his one-match suspension following a red card he received in the 1-1 draw against Switzerland on March 31 in Zurich.
Despite having to draw from a narrow player pool, the U.S. delegation, which continues preparations for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July, includes nine players from the 2014 FIFA World Cup roster that helped the team advance out of the "Group of Death."
Meanwhile, Mexico's Miguel Herrera named a 19-man roster with all players based in Liga MX. Though El Tri are on the back of two 1-0 wins against Ecuador and Paraguay, they have yet to beat the U.S. since Klinsmann's tenure with the national team began in the summer of 2011.

As I understand Five Minute Friday, Lisa Jo Baker gives one word each week and those who participate take five minutes to write about that word. This week's word is one I couldn't resist writing about. The word is Friend. Yes, I know it's not Friday, but I just discovered this site. So, here goes.
There are some friends who just get you, heart and soul connections you can never understand. Bonnie was like that. From the first time I saw her I knew we would instant friends.
She was my beautiful friend inside and out. Her smile reached to the heavens and beyond. It was the time of our lives where we were starting our own jobs, discovering our place in the world, miles away from all we knew.
We shared everything. Told each other our deepest hearts' desires. And of course we talked about men, brothers, friends. Who we might marry. Who were just good friends.
I don't know why the man I really loved never came up. Maybe it was because I had pushed him to the back of mind. We had dated over a span of two years, an on and off relationship. It was over. He had chosen someone else. I didn't talk about it with anyone. It was too painful. He was the one I was to marry, but he had moved on.
Then, I went home at Christmas and he came back into my life. I went back to work, to my single life with a ring on my finger.
Bonnie was shocked. There was a part of me I had not shared with her. For that I am truly sorry. She was my heart and soul connection. She got me, but not all of me.

What To Expect
Your First Treatment
Please allow at least an hour for your first visit.
PLEASE TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF or leave it in the car! You will be resting in a room with others, so be considerate.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. We need access to your arms up to your elbows, and legs up to your knees.
Please refrain from wearing strong perfumes and smoking before your treatment.
You may want to eat a little snack before your treatment, especially if this is your first experience with acupuncture.
During your Treatment
You should stay for a minimum of 30 minutes with the needles in place, and you may stay as long as you like after that. Just be sure to let us know if there is a time you need to leave.
After your needles have been inserted, it is important to keep you movements to a minimum. Some needles may be near vessels or nerves and large jerky movements may lead to injury. Your practitioner will check on the treatment room every 5 minutes.
Your Part
Community Mindedness: please speak quietly and be respectful of the other people who are relaxing with you.
We have blankets and music playing, but feel free to bring your own blanket and headphones.
Acupuncture is a THERAPY. On rare occasions, one treatment is all it takes to resolve your symptoms. But this is the exception. Acupuncture is most effective when used frequently and consistently. It works by stimulating the body's own self-healing mechanisms. Most everone will need a series of treatments (about 10-12) to significant results.
Patients often ask "How many treatments will it take for my condition?" When you rate your complaint on a scale of 1-10 (1 being mild and 10 severe), use the following as a rule of thumb:
10/10 (at the end of your rope): come daily until you see a change
5/10 or higher: come 3x per week, no less than 2x per week
Chronic condition, not severe: 1x per week for 6-8 weeks, then re-evaluate
Menses related: 1x per week until you have a regular cycle. Then every other week for 2 regular cycles. Then once per month in the week before the symptoms.
Most other issues: come weekly until you have 50% improvement, then 1x every other week until manageable or resolution

I'm seeing a lot of Cougar fans and local media trying to ascribe the biggest problem with the BYU basketball program right now is lack of talent, due in large part to WCC affiliation. "Recruits don't want to play in the WCC" is the common explanation. If you put any stock into national recruiting evaluations, than this explantion is flat out wrong. You would be hard pressed to find any Cougar roster over the last 20 years with more talent "on paper" in terms of recruiting rankings than this year's team had. According to leading recruiting service rankings this Cougar roster had:
TJ Haws: ESPN and 247 composite 4-star. ESPN top 100 (51) and 247 top 100 (54)
Nick Emery: ESPN and 247 composite 4-star. ESPN top 100 (45) and 247 top 100 (67)
Yoeli Childs: ESPN and 247 composite 4-star. ESPN top 100 (53).
Gavin Baxter: ESPN and 247 composite 4-star. 247 top 100 (100).
Connor Harding: ESPN 4-star. 247 composite 3-star.
Kolby Lee: ESPN 4-star. 247 composite 3-star.
Dalton Nixon: ESPN and 247 composite 3-star.
Zac Seljaas: ESPN and 247 composite 3-star.
Jahshire Hardnett: ESPN and 247 composite 3-star.
Luke Worthington: ESPN and 247 composite 3-star.
Rylen Bergersen: NR
McKay Cannon: NR
By comparison, let's see what a few of our top WCC competitors this year look like in terms of recruiting evaluation (not including Gonzaga who is BYU's lone competitor in the WCC whose talent is highly rated):
Saint Mary's: One 4-star (Mathias Tass), Three 3-stars (Fitts, Thomas, Ford). Rest of roster 2-star/NR.
San Francisco: One 3-star (Jimbo Lull). Rest of roster 2-star/NR.
San Diego: Two 3-stars (Isaiah Wright, Tyler Williams). Rest of roster 2-star/NR.
The bottom line is BYU's roster, in terms of national recruiting evaluations, is not even in the same discussion as any other WCC school not named Gonzaga. This has been the case for years, yet BYU consistently under-performs in the WCC. I have long tried to give Dave Rose the benefit of the doubt. He's done great things for BYU in the past. But this season made it impossible to deny. The problem with the program right now is coaching. This team of 6 four-stars and 4 three-stars could not figure out how to play with consistent effort, struggled with execution and cohesion and was atrocious on the defensive end. If you look at the talent on paper, this team flat out woefully under-achieved, period. It starts and ends with coaching. It's time for a change at the Marriott Center, it's time for Rose to retire.

Professor Hart
English 101
26 February 2015 INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION STILL CELEBRATED I have always loved travelling and attending shows by my favorite artists. This one event was a bigger and more interesting event than what I expected (two in one). An invitation to an independence celebration and concert for one of my favorite African musicians was sent to my email and was going to happen in Atlanta. One of my girlfriends told me about it and I was more than interested to attend it. This event preparation and excitement lead into a tragic accident and from then on I have always been scared of travelling long distances by road for any occasion.
It was a Sunday morning when I got a phone call from my girlfriend Chimwemwe screaming and yelling on the phone, very excited like she was asked on a date from her long time crush, but only was it because she had gotten an invitation for the independence celebration and O.C concert. She was breathing so heavily and I had asked her to calm down because I could barely hear what she was trying to explain to me. It was so annoying that I started to get irritated because I was trying to get ready for class at that time and I was running late because my ride to go to school was almost there. I wished I could hang up because she was taking forever to tell me what it was but for a second I had guessed it was about the concert because I had seen her post about it on Facebook a few days before it was confirmed. Finally she came to her calmly tone and told me how surprised she was about receiving the invitation. Surprisingly, I also got a notification on my phone saying I was invited as well. The excitement got to me as well that it got worse for her that she couldn't believe that we were finally going to attend one of our favorite musicians concert here in America.
The whole concert and celebration was a week away so we needed to start preparing on how we were going to travel and accommodate our selves when we got there. For me it was a little hard because I had some exams during that week so I had to find a way of sorting out everything together and making sure that it was going to work because I really wanted to attend that show. I started serving up and also asked for some money from my mum but she kind of had a bad feeling about us going to Atlanta without knowing anyone there, still she knew how much I loved him so she just let the whole discussion go and accepted on helping me out with some of the money. My girlfriend had also contacted her sister and cousin so did I ask my best friend if they wanted to go to and they agreed that way it made it cheaper for gas as we travelled and also accommodation at the hotel.
The final day had come and everyone was prepared and ready for the thirteen hours' drive to Atlanta. We were all pretty excited about the whole journey because it was the first time for everyone to visit the place and attend any show by the artist. My girlfriend contacted everyone that morning just to make sure we all had ourselves ready and prepared to go. Since she was all the way in Virginia her and her sister at that time where the only ones able to drive because they had driving licenses. So she told her sister who lived near me to pick me up and after she picked up my best friend because the three of us all lived in the same area and we all just wanted to use one car that way it was cheaper for gas and it would also have been more fun and exciting as a group. We later picked up Chimz cousin the headed towards Virginia finally to pick Chimz up. Finally everyone was there and the excitement was tremendous from everyone. We

Tiny velociraptors hunting mice
scrape vicious claws inside my bedroom wall
and you won't answer when I try to call.
Giant ground-walking moths grown fat on rice
spilled in my kitchen cupboard flop around.
And you ignore me, even if we meet,
will toss your hair around or cross the street.
There is a spectral snapping tearing sound
The raptors eating moths, or just perhaps
they mate. I miss soft kisses on my skin
Small creatures make such an appalling din
it sounds as if the walls will soon collapse
We bit and fucked and tore ourselves apart
in all four breaking chambers of my heart.
