Our Planet: An interview with theater artist Alec Duffy
I had the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with Alec Duffy, founder of the Obie award-winning company Hoi Polloi and current director of the English language world premiere of Yukio Shiba's Our Planet. The site-specific production will be performed throughout all six floors and over a dozen rooms in Japan Society's landmarked building from November 20th through December 8th.
I hear that you directed a reading of this play at Japan Society in 2012. How did you decide to direct a full-fledged production of the piece?
Yoko Shioya, the artistic director [at Japan Society], invited us to do a full production of the play after the reading happened. [Our Planet] was chosen by Yoko to be a part of the season, so she invited me to direct the reading. I started reading it after she sent me the script, and within five pages I knew that I wanted to direct it—I didn't really have to read much more. It was so poetic in its language, and it behaved really differently from a lot of plays that I'm familiar with, and that was pretty exciting for me as a director. And especially in the abstract quality of the play—it gave me a lot of room as a director to fill in with my own imagination. A lot of plays that I read are pretty much successful only if they're staged exactly as the playwright intends, and the playwright will often make a lot of notes on the set design, even the blocking and what happens on stage. And so as a director that kind of play doesn't excite me so much. But this play was so open and flexible that I thought it would be a lot of fun to collaborate with some artists to create a full production.
So open and flexible that you decided to stage the play throughout the whole Japan Society building! What were the factors in that decision?
Well, the play is called "Our Planet." It's a very hard play to describe—it views this one girl's life from birth to death, but the girl is also representing the planet earth. The other characters correspond to other elements of our galaxy—the moon is her neighbor, for example. It's pretty wild. So I thought that it'd be cool to make the entire building a stage, to create this universe in this building as opposed to being limited to a stage in a traditional theater. I thought it really begged for something as ambitious and big as the play itself. And I'd worked at Japan Society for a year prior and fell in love with the building, so I thought it would be a nice opportunity for us to share the space with those that might have been here before, but always just come in the lobby and go directly down into the theater. They've never been upstairs to the atrium and of course haven't had a chance to go through the offices—even though the offices are just offices, as a theater experience I thought it would be fun to lead people into spaces that aren't traditionally theater spaces.
Yukio Shiba has noted that he drew original inspiration for "Our Planet" from the iconic "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder. How has the source material been reflected and refracted in Yukio Shiba's play? How has it informed your approach to the production, if at all?
I think that for [Shiba] the things that are most connected to the original Our Town are mostly the themes of life and death, of stepping outside of life. There are moments in the play where someone has died, and the main character is talking to them after they've died—and that happens in Our Town, too, when the main character dies and we see her with other dead people, talking about the people on earth, the living. But there isn't much of a structural correspondence between the plays. They're quite different in style. In any case, I think also the style of performing in the original production of Our Planet was very similar to the intended production of Our Town in that there weren't really any props, there wasn't really a set—it was just actors on the stage performing, not pretending that they're not performing. And it was a very revolutionary play in American theater history because it did strip away all the falderal. So maybe that's another connection between the two productions.
In changing the title from Our Town to Our Planet, it really widens the scope and I think that resonates with the fact that this is an international collaboration. What has it been like to participate in such a cross-cultural artistic endeavor? What have been the challenges and rewards? Have you ever worked with a translated piece before or Japanese collaborators?
No, this is the first time for me, and it's been really nice. We [Shiba and Duffy] haven't had a whole lot of contact, actually. We've mostly just sought to clarify some things that are in the translated script, going back to him [Shiba] and saying "What exactly is this supposed to mean?" The translation sometimes wasn't necessarily clear, but we weren't sure if it was clear in the original. So mainly just for clarifying remarks. But I'm working with a motion graphics designer [Nobuyuki Hanabusa] who lives in Japan as well. I've had more contact with him that I have with Shiba. Shiba has kind of let us alone to do what we want! Necessarily because we're doing such a differently staged version, some of the ideas or concepts in his original script that really fit for what he did, don't quite work for what we're doing, so he's allowed us to adapt some things, to make some changes. Especially in terms of the cast—since it was written for eight actors originally and we just have two actors, that changes a lot of the rhythms of some of the scenes, and he's allowed us to make some changes there.
What sort of impact do you expect the motion graphics designer [Nobuyuki Hanabusa] to have? What will that add to the performance? And he lives in Japan, right?
Yeah, he lives in Japan, so he'll be here for the last week of rehearsals basically. And he'll be sending stuff in the meantime. He's very busy; he's a pretty hot commodity right now in Japan. But the idea was—and we're going to have to see what he provides—but the idea was to take advantage of his talent for creating video that looks like the actors in front of the projection are actually controlling what's happening on screen, but that's not the case, it's just very tightly choreographed. So there'll be an image behind the actor and the actor will go like this [swings his arm in the air] and it'll look like he's swinging a huge twenty foot flag in the air, or it might look like birds are attacking his head, so we're hoping to incorporate some of that, so that the actors will be interacting with the video.
Do you have any other final thoughts?
Yeah, I would say that the success of a project for me is always dependent on with whom I'm collaborating. And in this case, we've assembled a pretty amazing team of artists to carry this out. And that means a composer [Tei Blow] who's working on music for the piece and has a burgeoning indie music career, specializing in a kind of electronic and pop, weird ambient music. He's working with us on creating a soundscape that goes throughout the entire building.
Oh, wow—I didn't realize that music would have such a prominent role in this production.
Yeah, it will definitely play a large role in the piece. We also have a really excellent lighting designer named Jiyoun Chang and we're working on making things as dark as possible in here, in the entire building, and light will come from really specific places using the architecture and the lighting of the building as much as possible—it should be a very transformed building. And then we have our two actors, Julian Rozzell, Jr. and Jenny Seastone Stern. Julian I've worked with a lot, and I chose them because they're really kind of out-there performers, willing to go into very strange territory. What I told everyone on the team is that we want to make this weird play even weirder. And so that's everyone's task, to create a really unexpected world for an audience, and to really take them onto a journey that is full of surprises—to create something so unusual that it'll be hard to forget.

Rather Impressive!
May 25, 2018
We had hoped that Rather Silky would make a winning debut for the stable when resuming at Horsham a few weeks ago and the four-year-old was travelling nicely only to get onto heels early in straight.
Lucky not to fall, she picked herself to be beaten less than four lengths - and it was that game effort that saw her kept safe in the betting at Werribee on Friday.
And things went better for her this time - although she was trapped wide from a tricky gate in the small field.
Chasing the leader into the straight, Rather Silky got the upperhand from the 100m and was able to draw clear to win by an impressive two lengths.
"She has always posessed a good amount of ability," Mitchell said, "and in BM58 grade was just a level or two above them."
"The team at home have done a great job getting her right since her fall, she has had her legs in ice every day."
"She has had a lot of problems and we had good information from her previous trainer Michael Kent in regards to those."
"She has got city ability and at some point we'd like to get her to that level but we'd like to build her confidence first."
"She was just too good today," reported jockey Harry Coffey who was not concerned about covering a bit of extra ground - "she was wide in the clear in good going and she put the race away quite early with a powerful finish."
Owend by John Richards who has raced a number of very good horses including the Melbourne Cup hero Prince Of Penzance, Rather Silky is by former Darley shuttler Hard Spun out of the imported Gone West mare Dawn Sun - descendant of the famed matriarch Lady Josephine.

text: JKHCBA pays tribute to July 13 1931 martyrs | KNO JAMMU & KASHMIR Friday, July 12, 2019 Share Whatsapp Kashmir News Observer (KNO) Srinagar, July 12 (KNO) : J&K High Court Bar Association Srinagar Friday paid tributes to the martyrs of July 13, 1931. JKHCBA in a statement issued to KNO said that it was on this day, the people of Kashmir stormed the gates of Central Jail, Srinagar and formed their way in the courtyard to watch the proceedings of a criminal case filed against one Abdul Qadeer, who was arrested for making a speech at Khankah-i-Moula for mobilizing the Muslims against the desecration of Holy Qur'an at Jammu police lines. On this, the District Magistrate, Srinagar, without making any attempt to pacify the people, ordered the police to open fire, in which 21 innocent Kashmiris got killed and more than 300 were arrested, alongwith their leaders and were put behind the bars, the statement added. It was thereafter that "All J&K Muslim Conference" was formed at Srinagar in 1932 and Chaudhary Ghulam Abbas was elected its first General Secretary, who had played an important role in reviving Young Men's Muslims Association of Jammu, which though established in 1909, had become defunct with the passage of time, it said. "It was this Association which became motivating factor in the emergence of Reading Room Party at Srinagar. The first session of Muslim Conference was thereafter held in the City on October 15th, 16th and 17th, 1932, but unfortunately the working committee of Muslim Conference which was at that time dominated by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, on June 28, 1938, recommended its General Council to change its name and constitution. By a resolution adopted on June 11, 1939, the name of the organization was accordingly changed to "J&K National Conference", which, with the passage of time, moved closer and closer towards Indian National Congress," the statement reads. "It also invited Jawahar Lal Nehru to the State and accorded a rousing reception to him. Chaudhary Ghulam Abbas and many Jammu & Kashmir Muslims thereafter left the National Conference and revived Muslim Conference in 1941 and held its session in the Srinagar in 1943, which was presided over by Qaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. The Muslim Conference thereafter played an important part in Kashmir politics till 1947, when India got divided and two dominions India and Pakistan came into existence," it added. While remembering the sacrifices of the people, who were martyred in 1931, the Bar Association expected that the people of Kashmir will carry forward their mission till they achieve their goal, for which they have sacrificed a lot in terms of men and material, for the last 70 years.(KNO) Author : KashmirNewsObserver News Source : Kashmir News Observer Place : Srinagar Srinagar Tour Packages Leh Ladakh Packages

After Zikr, on the Urs of SahibulSaif Hz, a murid at the Osmanli Dergahi ask a question to Sheykh Lokman Effendi Hz: Who is our Sheykh, SahibulSaif? Who is Sheykh Effendi?
BismillahirRahmanirRahim.Medet Ya SahibulSaif. I wish he was here to talk about himself. You ask him that question. Why are you asking foolish question to me? Describe, you said, in three words, Sheykh Abdul Kerim Kibiris al-Rabbani Sheykh Effendi. You asked that question to so many. You asked it to me. And you asked it to him (Sheykh Effendi), right outside here, this big masjid which we have to finish soon, but you guys are sleeping because you come last minute, your majesties. Don't look at me and smile. You are going to get it in Holy Nights like this. Coming last minute to pull tasbih. Masha'Allah, what Awliya you want to become. Not understanding, you are still sleeping, who he is, what he has left us with, what you can do. So you asked him that question: Who is Sheykh Effendi?
Our Sheykh is unique. Alhamdulillah. Everything that he does, he says, it is original. So many people you ask to describe Sheykh Effendi in three words, they say: He is majestic. He is kind. He is loving. Some saying he's tough, he's this..this… three words. When you asked Sheykh Effendi, he uses three words also, but it's not qualities of himself. He said, as you remember, in Turkish you asked him and he answered in Turkish, he said, 'Allah's weak slave.' That's how he describes himself. And, he should be here to talk about himself. But, he has left us, some cripples, some broken, some spoiled, some donkeys, some monkeys, some idiots.
So, who is Sheykh Effendi to us?
He is describing himself and his relationship to his Lord, Allah swt. If you ask me that question, I'm going to describe him my relationship to him. Which everyone did. One thing I'm happy about, when Sheykh Maulana said so many times to him, his maqam dunya and ahiret, so many people don't know and because of that, they take away his rights. And I am witness that although this world, this ummat, this Muslims, this sufi, this Naqhsbandi, this Osmanli Naksibendis, this murids and muridas, they don't know him or they don't want to know him, or they think they know him, he's that one, and I'm witness to this, that the one ruling other alams, they cannot even talk about him. If they say the wrong words, they will get burned. They say he is off limit. He is very Holy. We cannot talk about him like we talk about anything else. Alams they know him, Universes.
Well how can we know him, when everyday he's showing another beautiful side of him.Those who knew him before, some they left. Some, they disbelieve. Some, like so many Saints before, like so many Prophets before, they say, 'this one is a Prophet? This one is a Saint? Ehh, he's just a man.' Isn't it? And they disbelieved. Isn't that what happened to the wives of the Prophets, so many of them? So many of the wives of the Saints, they are the same. Some knew him but you abused your relationship with him, but you stayed and you continued with his work and his words and he's giving you a second chance. And you win that time. You did. Just don't bring your ego. Leave it outside the door. Don't bring your baggage. Leave it outside the door. We know, we are aware of what happened but we turn the page. Don't bring whatever that is written from that page to this page. If you do, you will cry a lot dunya and ahiret.
So many of you, you've never seen him before physically. Eh, I know so many of you, you are crying. It's okay. He has more love for you than so many who came and left. Because you are seventy times more blessed than those who have seen him and believe in him. This is Sunnat. 'Those who have seen me, and they obey me and they follow me,' Holy Prophet (asws) is saying, 'you are blessed. But seventy times more blessed are those who have not seen me but they obey me and they follow me.' Those who are following in the footsteps of the Prophets and representing that Holy one, same. It's pulling.
So everyday we are discovering our Sheykh, if you decide that you are not going to bury him. If you believe that he is with us and he is warning us, guiding us, and he's giving us good news. So many of you, you have such clear dreams. Those are not dreams. Those are you are witnessing, it's not even a vision. You are witnessing. And everytime, when in your dream, you see Sheykh Effendi coming back, it's always so real you are saying. Yes, everyone (is saying) it's so real, like he came back. And what does he always say? 'I never left. I never left,' he is saying. He's always been here. There are couple of people they believe that. So, don't bury your Sheykh. Take his sohbets. Live his sohbets. Don't let your ego to trick you in Holy days and nights, to keep you drunk. Be awake. Be a Jamaat. Our work hasn't even started yet, properly. We are still having good days. What happens that time when everyone starts attacking us, attacking you? Are you going to be ready? Or are you not going to care.
He went, because he has bigger work to do. He's very busy. Don't bother him too much. So many are so spoiled. They say, 'why he's not coming to my dreams?' Who is he that he has to come to your dreams? Who are you that you are saying, 'I want you to come.' Don't bother him. If it's necessary, he's going to send something to you. Are we doing everything perfectly that we are saying, 'now we want you to come and visit us.' So many are not understanding this.
I had one murid who went to umrah, he said, 'I'm going to go to Medina. I'm going to go to Rauza e-Sharif.' And I said, 'don't bother Prophet too much.' He thought it was the strangest word. 'What do you mean? What is that?' Hmm, that means you don't understand too much manners. Your relationship to that one, your relationship to the Awliya Allah is still very spoiled. Kindergarten, children, juvenile kind of relationship. If you become a man, then that time, you'll start to understand a little bit more, then you are going to stop asking what you can do for me. You are going to start asking: What I can do for you. Even Americans understand that. Nationalistically speaking.
So, who is our Sheykh? We are still discovering him. He is the reason that we have faith. Because he guided us during pre-eternity, he's guiding us now and he's going to continue to guide us post-eternity. We are from him. We are from his light. Insya'Allah we will return to him. And his light is so bright, it's so huge, it can cover universes. We are thanking Allah swt, we are thanking His Holy Prophet for uniting us with our Sheykh in this world, one way or another. And we are asking that we will be reunited soon.
I was listening to some sohbet the other day and I heard one of our brothers who is always making the dua, saying to Allah swt, 'Ya Rabbi, do not separate us from our Sheykh.' Allah, in His wisdom has decided to unite us in spirit. For the spirit to be united, the body has to separate. If you are thinking separation is just body separating, then there is no connection. The connection is for something too. It's not just connecting for nothing. You have to connect for something. If you have a lamp, you have a light, you connect yourself to the wall to give light. You don't just connect and you don't give light. If you are connecting and you don't give light, you are not good for nothing too. You want to be connected, what is it that you are going to do? Some of you have found it. Some of you are still searching. Some of you are plugging in in different wall sockets. Some of you, the connection is broken but you think you have light. And we are saying, 'wake up.'
May Allah forgive me and bless all of you. Every single one of you is very valuable and very precious to him. That much I know. And this whole world will understand him one day. East to West and North to South. And all those dogs that are barking, one day, they will be quiet when the lion appears. So many jackals and the wolves now. Because the lion, it is still hidden, pulling himself back. May Allah make us to be strong. May Allah swt make us to become better ones for him. May we step on our ego. May we not be tricked by sheytan. May Allah take us out from the station of ghaflat and the drunken station, for us to wake up and to have more life. For us to have our hearts to be alive. May Allah bless the Holy Prophet (asws), his family, his companions, all the Saints, Sultanul Awliya and SahibulSaif insyaAllah. May he continue to guide us. Wa minaAllahu Taufiq. And may all his enemies, one day come to our side. Al-Fatiha.

Still another trend I saw at Expo West was an emphasis on new packaging. Companies it seems, have heard the message that we don't want things in plastic bottles. That's the good news. What is frustrating is the learning curve they seem to be going through in order to get to a solution.
Here is Mother Nature's packaging for my argument. Nice, sturdy, recyclable container, holds up well in my computer bag. Probably about 60 calories in that serving size. Mother Nature isn't required to label her goods, but it contains fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, to name a few.
Here is something I've been using a lot lately, it's especially handy when I travel, or when I eat out in restaurants and want to be sure that what I get has been handled in a sanitary fashion. Zero calories, zero sugar, makes it through airport security, doesn't squash, doesn't rot, recyclable container. Derived from actual fruit so though it is fiber free, it does contain vitamin C. Honestly, I prefer exhibit A but sometimes it just isn't available. This comes in a reasonable second.
And here is what I saw at Expo West. This package is supposedly 2 servings, each 70 calories each. And if I am by myself and I am drinking it on the go, do you really think I'm going to save half? How can I? No, I'll pour the whole thing into my water and turn it into the near caloric equivalent of a soda. That is, if it makes through being squashed by my computer and my iPad and my gym shoes and my product samples, without being squished open and turning everything pink and shorting out the computers in the process. It's supposed to be planet-friendly but nowhere on the website or packaging do I see anything about this packaging being recyclable.
What does this have to do with PCOS you might ask? The fact that the words"organic" and"healthy" are prettily placed on the front of the packaging along with the organic certification logo. The serving size, calorie, and carbohydrate information is around the corner, and in much smaller print. If you check out the ingredients, it's sugar water with organic"flavor"…and even though it's organic, it's still just flavor with some vitamin C thrown in. We all know when Mother Nature designed the original package she put more than one vitamin in hers.
Don't be fooled. Even when it's organic you still have to read the label to be sure it meets your standards.

Do you have an active dog, who loves to run and play? Or is your pet more of a couch potato, whose main activities are napping and begging for belly rubs? No matter what kind of dog you have, it's important to keep Fido active. A Bee Cave, TX vet offers some tips on doggy fitness in this article.
Walking is the one activity we recommend for all dogs. Even if Fido has a yard to relieve himself in, he'll benefit from the exercise and stimulation of daily walks. Change up your route regularly to keep things fun and fresh for your pup. This will also allow your canine buddy to sniff new patches of grass!
Running can be both fun and beneficial for Fido, as long as he's built for it. This isn't a good option for puppies, small breeds, senior dogs, and brachycephalic dogs, as well as many large breeds. Just check with your vet before taking your furry pal running. If you get the all-clear, start slowly, to build your dog's endurance. At first, alternate walking and running. You can gradually increase the distance your pup runs as he gets stronger. Just keep a close eye on your pooch, and watch for signs that he's getting fatigued, hot, or thirsty. If he starts panting heavily or lagging behind, stop for a water break, and then walk back.
Swimming is a great workout for many pooches. Some of our canine pals love the water, and take to it like furry ducks. Retrievers, poodles, and water spaniels are a few breeds that enjoy swimming. It can also be great for senior dogs, as it's a low-impact workout. Again, you'll want to get your vet's okay before proceeding. Just be sure to supervise your cute pet closely when he's in or near water. Never leave Fido unattended!
Playing is another fun way for your canine companion to get his daily workout in. If you have a furry bundle of zoom, tire your energetic pet out with games like Fetch, which will have your dog running around while you stay still. Automated ball launchers can also be great. Just make sure to get the right size!
Please reach out to us, your Bee Cave, TX vet clinic, for all of your dog's veterinary care needs. We're dedicated to offering the best veterinary care around!

Somebody Up There Likes Us - For Schools: In a land of much water but little fertile land and the other of abundant crops but limited water, two border guards diligently guard the frontier between them. With no common language, they maintain a fragile peace punctuated by aggressive gestures and threats. Until one day an unidentified aircraft, passing overhead, drops a small wooden box by parachute; inside is a bottle that contains a very strange liquid…"Somebody Up There" was improvised with the author and a professional French theatre company for schools, with the aim of bridging cultural gaps.
Le Petoman - Based loosely on the biography "Le Petomane" by Frank Caradec and Jean Nohain, this is a two-act serious play with lots of comedic bits, rather than a comedy with serious bits. Le Petomane was aka Joseph Pujol, a real-life French baker who at the end of 19th century – as the British began displaying "The Elephant Man" in London - hit upon the idea of turning "passing wind" into an art form, or a very ribald entertainment if nothing else, packing the Moulin Rouge out for years, proof positive that sophistication and crudity make strange bed-fellows! The story sensitively charts how Joseph discovers his gift and turns into a hit entertainment without compromising his dignity.
Pressure - For Schools: Released after ten months for good behaviour on a two-year sentence for drug dealing, "Pressure" is a study of Jake after his release and a look at how pressure from outside forces and from former friends continue to tempt him back to the same path that caused his downfall. Intended as a follow-up to "My Brother Jake", it carries through certain references to the original but stands alone. It relies on an "inner world" of action rather than speech and silences in which outside interruptions create a menacing mood of the unknown. The "pressure" to cope with that menace is a challenge for the audience. It is designed for teenage audiences or schools exploring drugs issues.
Space Station - On a dark and lonely hill outside of town, two strangers meet for very different reasons: one has gone to set up a telescope to try and spot re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere of a decommissioned Russian space station and the other has gone to distract the former for as long as possible while his fellow villain burgles his house. Chance plays a part when the sole surviving bolt from the space station lands nearby. First public reading: October 2010, Paris. First public performance: February, 2012, Inverness, Scotland, by The Florians.
Like Riding A Bike (a feature-length screenplay) - Set in the North East of England, a fatherless boy of 9, David Lovatt, disturbed by deja-vu and dreams by night of screeching seagulls, bright but bullied at school (and unable to ride a bike) lives in a matchbox council house on a run-down estate near Durham City, with Mum, Lisa, who struggles with low-paid jobs whilst hiding a secret: a hit-and-run accident years before in which Lisa's unpunished ex, Scotty, killed a female pedestrian. Lisa and her son have been running away from Scotty ever since.
Mike Shepherd, their neighbour, located to the estate by the social services, hides secrets of his own and chance brings him into the lives of his neighbours, Lisa and David. Having lost his wife-and-son some years before in an accident, Mike's budding career in the police service was cruelly nipped in the bud as his life fell apart and he hit the bottle and skid-row. Estranged from his own family, Mike battles his ghosts alone - until one day the boy next door knocks on his door and asks if he can help teach him how to ride a bicycle in time to take a Cycling Proficiency Test some months in the future. Briefly, Mike rediscovers feelings he'd had as a father with David and David finds a role model in Mike, time enough for Mike to sober up and take stock. With a hint of romance between Lisa and Mike, were it not for the looming storm gathering over the head of Scotty, their future would have potential. But then Lisa and David suddenly disappear and leave no forwarding address. Mike hovers on the edge of his own private hell once again.
When Scotty's "big deal" goes wrong he makes his escape onto a lonely moor road where, unbeknown, David is perfecting his moves for the impending Cycling Proficiency Test. With a tragic twist seconds away, a seagull suddenly slams into the window of Scotty's jeep and sends it and him to a watery grave in a quarry. With tragedy, loss and reflection in the air and with the aid of Mr Appleyard (David's primary teacher and his special project based on "Communication through History": the pen, hieroglyphics, the printed word, the photograph, the microchip, etc), David suddenly "remembers" the event that has haunted his young mind for 3 years.
The truth out and the fall-out of retribution settled, the Cycling Proficiency Test briefly unites Mike, Lisa and David, hinting at a bright future for all of them. But who is the elderly gentleman conducting the Proficiency Test - somebody's husband, somebody's son, somebody's father?

Ghost Voices: Using Echovox

BEIRUT — The Good Shepherd Sisters have been working in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley for 11 years. They opened an after-school care program to help the children of Deir-Al-Ahmar, near Baalbek. The area was under the control of Hezbollah and was known for production, and consumption of, hashish.
After Sunni Muslim refugees from Syria began pouring into the valley in 2011, Deir-Al-Ahmar had more refugees than Lebanese residents. So the sisters put their center to use to help the Syrian children, too. Currently, 330 Syrian refugee children attend an informal school during the day. Later in the day, the Lebanese children come for their after-school program.
Working with aid from groups like Catholic Relief Services, Catholic Near East Welfare Association and Caritas Australia, the sisters are helping 175 families of six to 15 people every month. They offer food packages that contain basics such as rice, cooking oil, lentils and milk, as well as tents, heaters, diesel fuel, blankets and, for the children, clothes. The sisters also help the refugees try to find jobs.
Davide Bernocchi, CRS country representative for Lebanon and Jordan, noted that the increase in refugees so close to the border with Syria is making many of the refugees feel unsafe.
"If the sisters were not there, you would have major conflict in that area," he told CRS Egan Fellows on a recent visit to Beirut.
Good Shepherd Sister Micheline Lattouf, director of the center, said sometimes she fears some of the refugees will be in contact with Islamic State fighters. She said she keeps "open eyes" and stays in contact with police.
"Sometimes I'm afraid," she admitted, but said she is a Good Shepherd sister and cannot close the door to people in need.
She said people tell her she could be killed for working with Syrian refugees.
"I have a mission, and I continue my mission," she said. "If they kill me, it's not a problem … Maybe another sister … will have the courage to continue the mission."
"Oscar Romero, he was killed by a Christian, not a Muslim," she added, noting the Salvadoran archbishop's work for justice and peace.
"If I will be killed because I work with the refugees — maybe the world today needs another Oscar Romero."

How to Convert Film Photos to Digitalby Jamie Lisse
If you have some photo boxes full of old film photo prints taking up space, you may be worried about the film photos deteriorating with age. You can preserve your film photo prints and clear up some space in your home by converting those film photo prints into digital photos on your computer. Converting your old film photo prints to digital photos is something that you can do on your own with your home computer and a photo scanner.
Step 1
Choose a flatbed photo scanner with 300 dpi for converting color film photos. If you also have some black and white photos, then purchase a photo scanner with 400 to 600 dpi. Dpi (dots per inch) refers to the scanning resolution. Usually the higher the dpi, the sharper your photo, but according to the Scan Tips website, you do not need anything higher than 300 dpi for color prints.
Step 2
Place one film photo face down on the scanner once you have hooked the scanner up to your computer and installed the scanner software. Pressing the scan button on the scanner typically brings up your scan options on your computer screen. Select that you are scanning a photo and that you want it in color and continue the scan.
Step 3
Review the scan when it appears on your screen. If it doesn't look the way you want it to, just open up your scanner options by opening the scanner software window. Tweak any quality settings, such as higher resolution, dust removal and color restoration. Then scan again until you get a scan on your screen with which you are happy.
Save the scan to your computer with a file name of your choice. Some scanners allow you to choose the image file type when you save the scan. If so, the HP website recommends using the TIFF file format for high quality digital photo archiving.
- Back up your digital photos to another computer or external hard drive, so you don't lose them if your computer crashes.
- Most retail photo developing locations can also convert your film photos to digital for a fee.

Holy Spirit Gifts - The Power Gifts - 1 Corinthians 12
Jesus' ministry was marked by incredible manifestations of POWER! Healing the sick, raising the dead, driving out demons, controlling nature...WOW! Now...do you want to have your mind blown? Jesus told His disciples this, "Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father." (John 14:12). We are now faced with a basic choice: Either Jesus is lying or we are to expect that we will manifest Jesus' power, even doing greater things than He did. Healing? Stilling storms? Miracles? Seriously? Yup, if you take Jesus word seriously, are submitted to Him and are willing to learn. Take a listen and pray the Lord releases greater power through His people today!

Former Brazilian president and Workers Party founder Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has sharply criticized the current president Michel Temer for pushing through harmful, unpopular reforms, vowing that the attacks against him would not make him "lower his head" and that the people would return to power.
Brazil: Temer's Party Rushes to Pick New Presidential Candidate
"The solution to the problems in this country will only happen when it has a leader with legitimacy, and they know that we are capable and we will return. When I say that we will return, it is not me, it is you," Lula said.
Referring to the right-wing interests that back Temer and his anti-worker austerity measures, Lula said during a meeting with Workers Party members that "they want Brazil to be a banana republic again."
The unelected President Temer was just released of corruptions charges by congress. In spite of his dismal approval ratings, which hover around five percent, the right-wing president plans to continue to push through his agenda of austerity and cuts to workers rights and social programs, beginning with an unpopular pension reform.
Cleared of Charges, Temer Vows to Push More Unpopular Reforms
"The expense that they (the government of Temer) want to cut is not theirs, but rather the people's," he said. He pointed out education cuts as an example, harshly criticizing the "ignorant" mentality that sees something liked education as an "expense" rather than an "investment."
Lula was recently sentenced to over nine years in prison for alleged corruption, a move which might prevent him from participating in next year's presidential elections. A poll earlier this week showed that he was by far the most popular potential candidate, with a comfortable 53 percent.
"If they want to try and avoid my candidacy, that's okay. They cannot harm me, cannot harm over 200 million Brazilians," Lula said.
Gleisi Hoffman, the current Workers Party national president, said that the recent attacks on Lula's person and history have actually had the opposite effect that they intended to, and have galvanized support for the party.

Search Background Check
What You Can Do:
Checking on the history of someone in Alachua is simply a right given to people in accordance to the general laws and statutes in Florida. The search can be done in various categories including arrest, police report, traffic violations, sex offender cases and a lot more. As for the case of retrieving the arrest reports, local residents have to visit the Records Bureau office to inquire about the steps and requirements for obtaining a copy of Alachua background check. The service fee costs $6.00, to be paid using cash, money order or cashier's check.
If going to the Records Bureau is a concern then you have an option to mail your request through a self-addressed, stamped envelope addressed to the Alachua County Sheriff's office where the Records Bureau has been formed. The crucial details which you need to provide to initiate the search include the subject's complete name, race, sex, and date of birth. The social security number is not necessary but it would help more if you have it. Such a public service has been pushed through the provision of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Criminal History Services Section.

For this level, it's fairly introductory, we're supposed to work with substitution cipher – which is characters are replaced with other characters or with symboles – the ROT13 as an example.
Level 1
The password for level 2 is in the file 'krypton2'. It is 'encrypted' using a simple rotation. It is also in non-standard ciphertext format. When using alpha characters for cipher text it is normal to group the letters into 5 letter clusters, regardless of word boundaries. This helps obfuscate any patterns. This file has kept the plain text word boundaries and carried them to the cipher text. Enjoy!
To access to this level we use the password that we get from the previous challenge:

So, ROT13 ("Rotate 13") cipher in which characters are replaced with the character whose ASCII value is thirteen higher (shift the letters by 13: an A becomes an N, B becomes O and so forth)
Let's see the ciphertext:
krypton1@melissa:/krypton/krypton1$ cat krypton2 YRIRY GJB CNFFJBEQ EBGGRA
I used a simple Unix command to decrypt it:
krypton1@melissa:/krypton/krypton1$ cat krypton2 | tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m' LEVEL TWO PASSWORD ROTTEN
Also, this is an easy python instruction for the same job:
krypton1@melissa:/krypton/krypton1$ python -c 'print "YRIRY GJB CNFFJBEQ EBGGRA".encode("rot13")' LEVEL TWO PASSWORD ROTTEN
There you have it (the password for level 2). It's easy, but a good learning experience.

Summer day camp teaches KC kids to move through dance... and through life
Kansas City, MO - AileyCamp is a six week summer dance camp created to give youth an opportunity to learn life skills through dance that wouldn't otherwise get the opportunity.
Monica Stoneking with Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey says the youth are learning all different kinds of dance, but they're also learning to be leaders.
"Hip hop, ballet, jazz... it's really incorporating all different types, of not just dance, but art and ways to express themselves. They learn communication skills," says Stoneking.
Each year, 100 boys and girls in Missouri and 100 in Kansas are selected to attend Ailey Camp for free.
Each dancer receives breakfast, lunch and daily dance classes, along with dance attire, dance shoes and a dance bag. Everyone that comes through the camp brings a different set of skills and needs.
"The staff is trained to look for those needs and they're very compassionate," says Stoneking. "Having the same background as most of the kids attending the camp, they're able to speak to that."
Many former campers have come back to teach at the summer day camp.
A number of classes are offered, not just dance, that include goal setting, nutrition, conflict resolution, positive self-image, and career and leadership development.
"We have teachers on staff that are experts in their field. The biggest thing that we do is the final performance, where you have these kids that may have been timid or shy at the beginning of camp, that are proud to be on stage and show off their skills," says Stoneking.
Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey will host open houses for its 2019 AileyCamp program, June 11 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. at Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts, 4747 Flora Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64110.
Also on June 12 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. at Eisenhower Middle School, 2901 N. 72nd Street, Kansas City, KS 66109.

Rowing RoundupSubmitted by Anonymous on Thu, 07/03/2013 - 10:37
Lent Bumps
Since the 19th Century the good, the bad and sometimes the downright ugly have donned their college colours in the form of tight lycra to compete in the Cambridge Bumps. Last week saw Homerton row to glory in Lents with three of our four boats moving up, W2 by 5 places and M1 getting blades! Number 7 in M1 boat summarised perfectly the feeling on day 3 as "Full of excitement, although not for all the right reasons".
Look out Mays Homerton have arrived!
The Boat Race
An historic weigh-in took place on Monday 4th March when the Women's and Men's Blues boats weighed in together for the first time. Oxford Men's crew only just out-weighing the Cambridge Men's crew, with Cambridge's women coming in heavier by 3.55kg per woman. Both boats have an Olympic flavour with each having two rowers who competed in the London Games. The Cambridge Men's crew only features one British oarsman and for the first time ever four Americans. The coxing seat remains firmly in British hands though with Homerton's Henry Fieldman making it a decade of British coxes for Cambridge.

Tracks of the Decade: "Myriad Harbour" by The New Pornographers
September 7, 2009 Leave a comment
The New Pornographers
"Myriad Harbour"
from CHALLENGERS
It may be the most collosal Pixies rip-off since Cobain & co. delivered "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but a little tribute never hurt anyone, especially done so well. In a decade that saw AC Newman's power-pop young guns deliver triumph upon triumph, it was their own Billy the Kid, Dan Bejar, that scored an absolute classic. "Myriad Harbour" is a simple song. The lyrics are a short and disjointed narrative, the chord structure has already been tried by a thousand garage bands, and the choral exhortation to "look out upon the myriad harbour" is as profound as "I wanna hold your hand." Yet in a decade that was, let's face it, particularly dark, sometimes we want to be reminded of the spontaneous fun that can come from standing on the street corner in a big city looking for something to do. A silly song, sure, but certainly full of delights.

From the stage of the Phil Donahue show in front of a live audience, Elizabeth Connell, a tiny middle-aged mother of six, opened her purse and began pitching condoms in wrappers with smiley faces into the audience.
It wasn't just a gimmick. Dr. Connell had a long-time commitment to raising awareness about family planning and contraception.
"She wanted to call attention in whatever way she could – both academically through scholarship, but certainly through humour – to support women's rights," said Jean Emans, chief of adolescent medicine at Boston Children's Hospital.
Dr. Connell, a proponent of improving women's reproductive health for more than 50 years, died on Aug. 20 at Brookdale Cushing Park, an assisted living facility in Framingham, Mass. She was 92.
The cause was congestive heart failure, her daughter, Patricia Connell, said.
As a scientist, Dr. Connell conducted research on methods of contraception, including early testing of birth control pills; served on the editorial board of a prestigious journal in her field; and wrote three books on contraception, including The Contraception Sourcebook (2001), a comprehensive overview of available methods and the science behind them. Later in life, she was a researcher with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As a social activist, she helped open a women's health clinic in New York's East Harlem neighbourhood in the 1960s that is still active as part of the city's public hospital system, and she argued in favour of legalizing abortion well before the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. She also raised concerns about the risks of breast implants when she led a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee.
In 1970, when she was an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Connell chided a congressional subcommittee for questioning the safety of birth control pills. The questioning had caused "panic" among women and led to "dozens of unwanted pregnancies," she said.
"She was wise to point out in the 1970s and 1980s that although many women thought the battle had been won in terms of access to contraception, et cetera, there were still people undermining access," Dr. Emans said.
Dr. Connell also travelled the world to give talks on women's health, said her son Richard, who went with her in the 1960s to Iran, Pakistan, India and parts of South America, where he served as her Spanish translator. While abroad, she evaluated family planning clinics and helped develop new ones.
She also participated in contraceptive-related clinical research trials in the United States and elsewhere.
Dr. Connell was born on Nov. 17, 1925, in Springfield, Mass., to Homer and Margaret Bishop. Her parents were college professors.
She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and originally planned to become an occupational therapist. But when she saw doctors at work, she decided to switch to medicine. She graduated from the university's medical college in 1951. She began her medical career as a general practitioner in Blue Hill, Maine.
Dr. Connell's views on abortion and birth control were shaped by her time in rural Maine, where she saw patients who suffered from unwanted pregnancies and botched abortions.
"Earlier than many people," Patricia Connell said, "she understood how women's lives were made or broken by having education and being able to plan your fertility."
After training in surgery, Dr. Connell decided to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology. In 1960, she moved to New York to complete a residency at Mount Sinai Hospital. She also joined the faculty at Columbia.
In the mid-1980s, around the 25th anniversary of the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the first contraceptive pill, Dr. Connell went on a media tour that included the Donahue show and moderated a panel discussion with feminist leaders Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem in Washington.
Her first marriage, to John Connell, ended in divorce in 1970. She later married Howard Tatum, the inventor of an early intrauterine contraceptive device called the Tatum-T, with whom she frequently collaborated.
In addition to her son Richard and her daughter, Dr. Connell leaves four other sons, Robert, Thomas, David and James; three stepchildren, Arthur Tatum, Robert Tatum and Susan Tatum Fernandez; 10 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. Howard Tatum died in 2002.

It came across my mind that a script language could be used to do some basic actions, such as fighting monsters or depositing money in the bank in one quick stroke. I investigated and experimented and found that it will work for those purposes, although it takes a lot of TLC and cannot do much more than 2-3 things at a time very efficiently (AKA fight someone, heal and put the money in the bank). This would be inefficient for things like traveling around the island, getting tattoos, new mounts, running into jokers/stonhenge/old men, clan work, eating, trying out new abilities and characters, weapons, etc.
Really, I just want to know if it is moral for me to do this. I suppose I am calling on Caveman Joe for his awful decree, to which I must and will yield (grovel, grovel).
A side note, is PvP possible in Impossible Island season 2? I haven't run into it yet (5 DK's).
AHK, I take it?
I have no idea what AHK is. I do not know very much about scripting. I have always wanted to learn, and this is just my first flirtation with it. Honestly, I don't even know how to code conditional logic into it yet.
Well, which language is it, man? You've got me curious, now.
I actually used an add on to Firefox called Selenium IDE. It has features that allow you to record what you do (what you click on) and then rearrange it an replay it. I haven't got a handle on how to create conditional modifiers (if statements, loops, etc) yet.
Selenium uses its own interface to do the scripting, but creates the code in the language of your choice. The default is HTML, but it can code in Java, Perl, Python, etc if you want it to.

In the world, there is enough opportunity for girls and women to play Baseball, in addition to Softball, that this site can give you a glimpse – and the hope – that you will play. soon.
But, the technology we use to build this site isn't as user-friendly, some times, for both, me, the manager, and you, as I had hoped.
This is actually the second version of this site, the first one was abruptly closed down by the company that hosted it. Some of the areas of interest have still not been reintroduced, here, in this version of the site…
The International Female Baseball world is in transition. But, with the up-coming Pan-American games in Venezuela, in November 2009, it is clear that maintaining an English-only web site is not going to cut it.
For example, Alex Santiago, the most active member of the Puerto Rico Women's Baseball entity, posts with commitment and clear passion to Facebook whenever there is something to share about the developments in his domain: almost daily!
When it became clear that Japan not only dominates the sport of Women's Baseball – including a rather robust girls High School program – but funds well a year-long training program for an elite few: how are we going to cover that effort on this site if the current information is only in Japanese – but we cannot truly build a Japanese web-based effort without the cooperation and input, here, from those who are involved, day-to-day.
An annual event, which takes place in Hong Kong, now, each year, the Phoenix Cup (hosted by the Hong Kong Baseball Association) requires both English and Chinese coverage – or cooperation from the tournament sponsors and organizers to get the word out to the world, through this channel.
Australia and Canada's respective National programs offer two distinct perspectives on how, in an English-speaking country one could roll out an effective structure to grow Baseball for girls and women, from the grassroots in the United States of America.
These are few examples to inspire with the awareness and stories of Female Baseball in all parts of the world for the majority English-speaking or reading world.
The major clean-up going on right now is in breaking down the International and the Domestic USA opportunities into clear categories, so we can build this resource center, creating opportunity and provide highlights that are so vibrant and tell the story of girls and women, across the planet, who are playing Baseball.
But, the most important goal is to make it even easier for you to find what you are looking for – and discover what you may not have considered even existed!
So, please be patient with us as we bridge the gap, extending our collective awareness of what is out there now – what has happened in recent history – and more about what is to come.
Thank you.
Jim Nemerovski

I have been quiet on this forum of late but that has just been a matter of available time. I have been building a fair bit though, and so in response to a couple of whatchoo-beendoin' questions, here is an update on some developing stuff.
Torsion Car. I have not been a fan of torsion cars due to most of my efforts being not very good. However, I know they can be very good and so this one was built after seeing a pic of something Rick B has been messing with. I had a JK center section laying around so I dusted it off and cloned his concept.
- JK center, R-Geo 3/4" bracket. All up about 104 grams.
- Tuning forks are .062" and are free in the tubes.
- Frame rails are .062" but do not connect to the bracket.
- Frame rails join the fork rails via a spacer or tie bar of .062" wire.
- This bit was originally about 3/8" long but is now is about 3/4" long.
- Outboard, the frame rails are free in the square tubes attached to the pans.
This car has been tested once on a flat King that had very high bite on that day. This was good out of the gate being easy to drive and forgiving on turn entry. However, in the very fast donut, the car developed a loud "crackling" noise and released suddenly. I attribute this to too much torsional twist and the frame putting a heavy load on the outside front tire. This pic shows the spacer increased to 3/4" and a limiter at the crux of the forks.
No-Brainer Car: I have been goofing with some fairly exotic frames lately and this was intended to have something that works everywhere and is easy to tune. I have tested this a fair bit and indeed, it works everywhere and is usually one of my two or three fastest cars. Three or four other guys have driven this and two have ordered them.
- R-Geo 1" bracket, all the rest is handmade.
- Single rail of .078" wire, pans are .062" wire. Weight is about 104 grams all up.
- Pans have normal hinge in front but outboard shaker tube setup for rear hinge.
- This car is very tolerant of different tires and doesn't need a lot of tuning.
The NOT No-Brainer Car: Attempt to follow up on the above build with something with the potential to be faster. It is... sometimes. This car was the fastest in the box when running on the Purple Angel at Fast Track Hobbies on a day with modest bite conditions. However, when tested on the flat, highly-stuck King track at Slot Car Raceway in Rohnert Park, the car had to be driven very carefully. It was really fast... just before it came off.
- R-Geo 1" "Pro" bracket. All other bits handmade.
- Five rails/side of .047" full soldered. Weight about 101 grams all up.
- Conventional hinge front, outboard shaker rear.
- This car may eventually become a six-rail/side.
The X-3: This is the latest generation of the X-1 experimental chassis that I posted on some months ago. This has only been tested once, on the flat, bitey, King track at SCR in Rohnert park. On that day, this car turned the fastest time that I have ever done there and it handled the high bite very well. Like the original X-1 and the subsequent variants, this is a perimeter chassis. This one differs in that it uses a fork configuration that I have seen on cars by the Tokyo crew and also by Jim Lange. This is the stiffest of the X series chassis so far.
- R-Geo 1" bracket, all other bits handmade.
- Central forks are .062", tied into the nosepiece with a single bit of .062".
- Single perimeter rails are .055". Pans are .062" wire. Normal hinge front, outboard shaker rear.
- Car runs 102 grams all up with the center weight in place, 97.5 without it.
- So far... this car is pretty darned good just as it is.
Will follow with a few F1s in a day or so...

INVESTOR ALERT: Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP Reminds Investors of the Lead Plaintiff Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against The Medicines Company
Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP reminds investors of The Medicines Company (NASDAQ:MDCO) that all purchasers of The Medicines Company securities between February 20, 2013 and February 12, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until April 22, 2014, to file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the shareholder lawsuit.
The Medicines Company provides medical solutions for patients in acute and intensive care hospitals worldwide. The Company's products include anticoagulants and treatments for blood pressure control and other cardiovascular indications. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleges violations of federal securities laws and that:
- The Medicines Company issued materially misleading statements concerning the efficacy of its drug candidate Cangrelor, for preventing blood clots during angioplasty and stenting procedures, when compared to clopidogrel – a competing, FDA-approved drug.
- The Company failed to disclose that the CHAMPION clinical trials of Cangrelor were unethically and inappropriately administered.
On February 13, 2014, the price of The Medicines Company shares dropped more than 11% after the Company announced that the Food and Drug Administration's Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee voted against approval of Cangrelor for patients undergoing certain cardiac procedures.
If you are a member of the Class described above, you may move the Court no later than April 22, 2014, to serve as lead plaintiff; however, you must meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class, you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Michael Goldberg, Esquire, of Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP, 1925 Century Park East, Suite 2100, Los Angeles, California 90067, Toll-Free at (888) 773-9224, or contact Gregory Linkh, Esquire, of Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP at 122 E. 42nd Street, Suite 2920, New York, New York 10168, at (212) 682-5340, by e-mail to email@example.com, or visit our website at http://www.glancylaw.com.

Hello Everyone! I can't believe I haven't posted since September 3rd!!! Where have I been? Living life with 4 kids, two football teams, one cheer squad, one ballet class, one husband, one 2 year old, and a feast or famine baking business....need I say more?
Anyway, I really don't have time to be here now either, however, I didn't want anyone to think I'd fallen off the face of the earth altogether!
I haven't even been around reading blogs too much, so it wasn't until I went to catch up with Barb that I even realized that Amy Wilhoite passed away a few days ago. I am so very sad for Amy's husband and son. I found Amy the same day I found baby Ethan, and both of their stories broke my heart. I guess God had a different plan for Amy, and I know his plans are always the best, but it is still hard for those of us left behind.
Well, I really must get off of this computer now, but I need to announce the winner of the GIVEAWAY! And the winner is....Cheri! Congratulations Cheri and you can email me with your address and how exactly I mail stuff to you in Italy! I hope you enjoy the book!
And now, I will leave you with a few pictures, so you can see what I've been doing while I've been gone! I'll have some more with cakes and cookies soon too...for now, it's all about the kids!
Here is Maddie cheering at Jon's first game...
And here is Jon taking a picture with Rashad Bobino (middle linebacker for the Texas Longhorns...#44) at practice one day. He just came by to encourage the boys and to take pictures with whoever wanted one. Cool huh?
I'll post some "action" shots soon, but I have to go through them all and try to pick out my own kids from the crowd. It's tough getting football pictures because everyone is in a giant group, or a big pile on the field! LOL!
Well, I've gotta go for now. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back a little sooner this time and catch you all up with life here in Texas. I miss all my bloggy friends!
A small glimpse into the daily life of a homeschooling, cake decorating, mother of four (who would rather be knitting...most of the time).

I'm so excited - I just ordered two copies - one to have and one to share. Now I can share two! It's so challenging to get a good family devotional!
Thank you - I'll email you in a minute.
Also - that is so great one of the Longhorns came to visit with the boys. Encouragement like that goes a long way - especially when it's unsolicited!
