The Dantonio Way recruits without pulling punches

Michigan State coach only wants verbal commitments when recruit feels sure of decision

News that Michigan State pulled a football scholarship offer sparked a debate on ESPN’s popular morning show, "Mike and Mike" with Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic.

Greenberg questioned the wisdom of a nationwide process that leads to such results. He mentioned it sounded similar to a case at Michigan a couple of years ago when former head coach Brady Hoke pulled an offer from a committed recruit that flirted with other schools.

But the debate with Golic lacked a key piece of background that differentiated Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio from the Michigan example. Dantonio cautions his recruits to take their time and be sure before they make a verbal commit. He wants them to confirm their offer with a confident yes.

Dantonio's track record in nine recruiting classes at Michigan State has justified the method with the lack of last-minute flips.

The backstory surrounding Dantonio pulling an offer from Gavin Cupp, a three-star prospect from Leipsic, Ohio, fits his track record. Cupp committed in May, but last weekend he flirted with seeking an offer from Ohio State by attending a Buckeyes recruiting camp. Apparently Cupp wasn’t as sure as he said he was in May.

Dantonio promptly offered and received a commitment from another Ohio offensive lineman, A.J. Arcuri of Olentangy Liberty High. Arcuri apparently is content to accept a Michigan State offer without one from his home-state school.

In this same time frame, Detroit Martin Luther King's Donnie Corley, a four-star wide receiver prospect that is said to be leaning toward Michigan State, has stated Dantonio told him to be sure before he committed, even though the Spartans are down to their final scholarships available. Corley is taking a few more trips before he commits. He doesn’t feel unwanted pressure from Dantonio.

The difference with Hoke and other coaches – he isn’t alone, of course -- is they pressure a prospect for an early commitment. They tell them they better commit now before the school accepts an offer from another prospect.

Under that strategy, the athlete is not immune to second-thoughts. They are, after all, just teenagers.

I saw the method backfire on Hoke in 2010 when he was at San Diego State during his successful stint turning around the Aztecs’ underachieving program. In the summer of 2010, Hoke pressured quarterback Tyler Bray to commit, but by the end of the summer Bray flipped to Tennessee. Bray told me he was comfortable flipping since he had felt pressured into a decision earlier than he wanted to make it.

Here’s how it unfolded:

At San Diego State, Hoke wisely sponsored a traveling camp at five sites up and down California’s southern and northern coasts and in the fertile San Joaquin Valley. He was looking for talent outside San Diego State’s normal recruiting contacts. He used the same method in the Midwest when he turned around Ball State’s program.

These sessions were similar to the satellite camps new Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, Hoke’s successor, sponsored over the summer that drew outrage from SEC coaches. If Pac-12 coaches were upset with Hoke, they kept their comments behind closed doors. The difference is Harbaugh tread on sacred SEC soil. SEC coaches, most prominently Alabama’s Nick Saban, spoke up.

But Hoke’s traveling camps paid off. He uncovered Bray as a gem hidden in the small central California town of Kingsburg near Bakersfield (oddly enough, it’s also the hometown of 1960 Olympic gold medalist Rafer Johnson).

Bray, a 6-foot-6, 215-pounder that is now a backup with the Kansas City Chiefs, was an unknown, but word spread like wildfire after his San Diego State commitment. He was invited to more combines and rocketed up the recruiting ladder to a four-star recruit ranked the No. 7 quarterback in the nation.

It wasn’t long before then-Tennessee coach Layne Kiffin swooped in and stole Bray away from Hoke with the carrot of playing in a power-five conference, even though Knoxville was a long way from home.

The irony of the story, though, was Kiffin left for USC without coaching Bray. He graduated from high school early and his family had moved to the Knoxville area for the second semester – just weeks before Kiffin left town when the USC job opened up. Bray was stuck at Tennessee with a signed scholarship. It was too late to flip.

The case was similar to last February when Detroit Cass Tech running back Mike Weber picked Ohio State over Michigan only to learn a couple days later the Ohio State assistant coach that recruited him, Stan Drayton, left for the Chicago Bears. Not surprisingly, Weber had second thoughts that fell on deaf ears in Columbus.

The prickly Harbaugh responded with a Twitter message that jibed Ohio State about weaving a tangled web.

Now those are some recruiting ethics for Greenberg and Golic to discuss.

Can a Nano Glimpse Change the World?

If you lived it, then it becomes REAL. Today we are being challenged by a failing health care system, our own failing health, and the lack of wellness of our families and loved ones. In general, the health of modernized societies is failing. We have more autism, more heart disease, more arthritis, more diabetes, more auto immune disease, more insulin resistance, and more high blood pressure than ever before. The list seems endless with no hope in sight.

Along comes a woman who does not have a degree from a major research university, and is not doctor or physicist. She’s not from Johns Hopkins, the Mayo Clinic, St. Jude’s, Duke Medical or even a prestigious private school– although many of those schools and organizations will have wished they paid more attention to what she was doing when they realize that she, accompanied by only a handful of visionary supporters, has changed the face of what’s possible in health care. And she did it without government grants and subsidies, without the reputation of a major facility behind her, and all in the face of incredible obstacles and opposition.

She has made a major contribution to YOUR health because she BELIEVES that she has something significant to offer. She is a trained educator with a Masters degree in curriculum and instruction, but had no formal training for what she has conceived and developed as a major innovation which could change the face of future medicine. And the only way you are going to believe what she has to offer is to experience it for yourself—for FREE—using the link below.

You see, Sharry Edwards, MEd. has discovered that the body is managed by a series of frequency commands from the brain (your central processing unit in computer terms). The outlet for this information and how those frequencies are managed is contained in the math-based frequency matrix of your body. Years of research proved the efficacy of this approach and served to develop software that could duplicate her esoteric talents of being able to “hear” information from the voice and body that is normally above the range of human hearing.

While it does not claim to diagnose or ‘treat’ disease, it is well beyond what conventional medicine has to offer. It started with a talent that most people would consider esoteric. It is the stuff of Star Trek medicine. But as man, in his movie imagination, has created medicine based on reading the frequencies of the body, she has created a system that allows the body to evaluate for its self with therapeutic benefits.

She took this innovation to our National Institute of Health and they instructed her to hide it. To not mention what she could do, because no one would believe her – she would be branded a ‘fraud’ and perceived as a kook. But that same NIH representative was also convinced that what she brought to him WORKED because he experienced it. A muscle in his index finger did not bend smoothly. In less than 20 seconds—16 to be exact—he reported that his finger worked perfectly. He experienced his own healing using this technique, yet he wanted to deny this same experience to the people.
So she had a problem – how can she get this information to the people in a simple and affordable package that people could use and experience so that they too could see how this very simple technique has the potential to bring them a wealth of information about themselves. This would be information that has the potential to change the face of human history because, if we are free of defect (if we are optimally healthy in every way) much of our energy and resources can be used to enlighten and elevate ourselves to advanced dimensions of understanding and integrity.
And so she worked to find a way to bring the experience of what she had to offer to the public. To provide it free with no strings attached. She asked nothing in return, not even your email address. You have learned from past experience that nothing is free. Well this is free with one exception. It will change you! What she offers will capture your mind, your imagination, and will certainly change the way you think about health and wellness in the civilized world.

This absolutely FREE gift has the potential to set you FREE to explore your mind, to bring you information, in terms of frequency, about your REAL self. And eventually the technique will reveal your nutritional, hormonal and biochemical needs; your genetic make-up and status; your exposure to toxins, pathogens and allergens; your muscle strengths and weaknesses; and how best to manage your body’s resources in terms of anti-aging, weight management and stress, in the same way.
Change does not happen when there are no options to replace what is already available. This transformation cannot happen overnight, but starting small with the gift offered below, we now have a significant option for change – to create a paradigm of health care through a pioneering protocol that uses the body’s own frequency status to allow optimal well being.

This FREE download of nanoVoice ™ is a program especially created for this purpose: to spread the word – to allow you to experience a nano-glimpse into what is possible about YOU. And now nanoVoice is available from the link below.

NanoVoice is a micro-version of our professional nVoice Personality Profiler™ which uses math frequency based biomarkers within the frequencies of your voice to allow you an enlightening peek into your Secret Self.

NanoVoice can help you understand and solve issues using unconscious levels of awareness. This innovative technology is the forefront of future medicine based on personal biofrequency correlations to emotional, genetic, structural and biochemical information about YOU.

It usually takes a well-funded scientific breakthrough, after years of study by a major university or an overwhelming catastrophe, to facilitate change that truly makes a difference. People don’t easily embrace new scientific information because anything fundamentally different from the status quo scares them. Although a major catastrophe forces transformation, people don’t always adjust willingly. The most profound and permanent way to cause a shift in perception is through life experience.
We have mandatory, uninsurable vaccinations that have been shown to cause birth defects, autism, asthma and other harm; we have laws being passed that deny us the right to hold accountable the drug companies that use us as guinea pigs and cause irreparable harm; we have insurance companies and HMO’s that make decisions with our own money (premiums they have charged us) as to whether or not we can receive services, which physician we can go to, what lab tests we can have. In no other service organization is the person paying for the service abused and dictated to so thoroughly and reprehensively. The companies are run with the bottom line in mind, not quality health care. There is something inherently wrong with the idea that profit is more important than wellbeing.
Resistant strains of pathogens, nosocomial and iatrogenic disease/trauma is rampant. We are threatened with bird flu, SARS, MRSA, flesh eating bacteria, infertility and unheard of strains of sexually transmitted diseases, also becoming antibiotic resistant.

We see generation after generation of families in which genetic defects are showing up earlier with successive age group. The grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 60, the mother in her 40s and the granddaughter before the age of 20. Neither the government nor the private sector has proposed any acceptable stabilizing solutions as to how to solve the problems that have been created. But the answer is right under their noses, literally.

There is still much work to do. This is just the beginning. After you have been convinced that using the nanoVoice software can bring you information about yourself, go to for more information, or if you are in research mode. Read and download the information, charts and videos – all FREE.

Join us in spreading the word about this unique technique and the options for changing what our current health care system has to offer.

Join us in this vision to allow each of us to be alive with grace and dignity.

What will happen when those that manage the purse strings of health care costs discover what we have done? We don’t know yet but we are willing to risk it. But once the word is out in mass, there will be no stopping it. Things are gonna change! Please join us for the next Evolution!

Updated: 08/12/2015

His school friends dreamed of becoming astronauts or footballers but Joseph Hunt knew from a young age that he wanted to become a chef.

Foodie Expert Inspires Next Generation of Chefs

Pictured: Joseph Hunt, Production Chef, and Shelley Kirk, Restaurant Trainer, at The Sheffield College’s Sparks Restaurant.

His school friends dreamed of becoming astronauts or footballers but Joseph Hunt knew from a young age that he wanted to become a chef.

The 30-year-old has just been appointed as Production Chef of The Sheffield College’s Sparks Restaurant, which offers high quality cuisine to the public whilst training the next generation of catering and hospitality students in the skills that the industry needs.

“Food is a massive part of my life and always has been,” said Joseph, who started his new post at the College this term. “I’ve early memories of sitting around a huge table with 20 family and friends all laughing and eating. That sense of social ritual is so important to me. The kids at primary school wanted to be footballers or astronauts but I knew I wanted to be a chef and cook all day."

Sparks Restaurant has a strong reputation for its food, value and service. The 60-seater training restaurant is open five lunchtimes and three evenings a week, and provides meals created by catering students under the supervision of experienced staff.

Shelley Kirk has also just joined Sparks Restaurant as Restaurant Trainer, following a successful career with British Airways as one of their air cabin crew at Heathrow Airport, travelling the world. She said: “It was a great job where I developed customer service skills. One of the highlights was meeting the actor George Clooney. I am keen to share everything that I have learned to give students a flying start in the industry.”

Sparks restaurant is based in the £1.2 million catering wing at City campus, Granville Road, one of the best purpose built further education colleges and vocational training facilities in the north. It has a video link screen so that diners can watch the trainee chefs preparing their food in the kitchen.

The restaurant regularly runs themed food evenings and has a diners club. Themed courses are also available. This month, the catering team is running a one-day Making Christmas Dinner Easy course on December 15th. For more information and to book your place, email info@sheffcol.ac.uk. Call 0114 2602600 or click here for more information.

Prior to joining the College, Joseph notched up industry experience at the famous and award-winning, River Cottage in Devon. He worked alongside chefs there and ran cookery courses. He originally trained at High Peak College and set up his own brasserie at the age of 19 that he ran for three years.

Joseph added: “I wanted to get in to teaching and be part of shaping the future generations of chefs. When the opportunity to join the College came up, I was really pleased. It has such a good reputation in the industry, and is very well respected. The facilities are also great, and Sparks Restaurant is well thought of. We have many regulars who enjoy our high quality food that is also value for money."

The Sheffield College has a long tradition of delivering catering courses, has a national reputation and strong connections to industry. It was the first further education college to be invited to join the Master Chefs of Great Britain. Three staff are members: Mick Burke, who is one of only two Fellows in the UK, Len Unwin and Neil Taylor.

The College is also a popular venue for the hosting of prestigious regional and national competition finals, which include the industry acclaimed Skills for Chefs that attracts the country’s leading culinary experts.

Students train in industry standard facilities. They comprise six training kitchens including a bakery and patisserie. Special features include bread retarders and prover ovens, six walk in fridges, blast freezers, top of the range ovens, a sous vide cooking bath, a smoking machine for fish, and an ice cream machines.

Heather Smith, Principal, The Sheffield College, said: “Sparks Restaurant provides our students, who go on to employment in hotels and restaurants nationally and globally, with a brilliant opportunity to sharpen their skills in a realistic working environment and guided by expert staff. I am delighted to welcome Joseph and Shelley to our team.”

A Gracious Woman

O God, thou art my God: early will I seek thee;
my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is.
To see thy power and thy glory,
so as I have seen thee in thy sanctuary.
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise thee.
( Psalm 63:1-3 )

It is in those early and quiet hours
while the house is motionless with no disruptions
from the things which press us for time,
that we meet Jesus.
I love my early mornings spent with my precious Lord and Savior.
Those ~ for me ~ are times when God blesses me with nuggets of gold
in the reading of His Word.
This morning was one of those days
of sweet fellowship as I sat at the feet of Jesus.
This was my nugget of gold;
"A gracious woman retaineth honor,
and strong men retain riches."
( Proverbs 11:16 )
The word gracious stopped me in my tracks
and I wanted to know more~ dig deeper~
and learn just exactly what God was wanting me to know
through this one verse.
I love to "dig" through spiritual growth books~
Bible dictionaries~Concordances~Commentaries~Topical Bibles
and the likes, to gain wisdom, knowledge
and spiritual understanding.
God's Word tells us to;
"cease from our own wisdom"
but to "be filled with the knowledge of his will,
in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
That we might walk worthy of the Lord,
unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good work
and increasing in the knowledge of God."
( Colossians 1:9-10 )
Matthew Henry's commentary says this about Proverbs 11:16.
" Here, 1. It is allowed that strong men retain riches,
that those who bustle in the world,
who are men of spirit and interest,
and are able to make their part good
against all who stand in their way,
are likely to keep what they have, and to get more,
while those who are weak are preyed upon
by all about them.

2. It is taken for granted that a "gracious woman"
is as solicitous to preserve her reputation for
wisdom and modesty,
and all those other graces that are the true
ornaments of her sex,
as strong men are to secure their estates;
and those women who are truly gracious will,
in like manner,
effectually secure their honour by their
prudence and conduct.
A "gracious woman" is as honorable
as a valiant man and her honour is as sure."
How beautifully said!
I looked up the word solicitous to see how it would apply to this statement,
and it is that the gracious woman would be,
careful~thoughtful~and full of concern.
So she is careful to "preserve her reputation."
We as women, are graced with beautiful ornaments,
and it is honorable.
May we be ladies who grace these ornaments
for His honor and glory.
I pray that your heart was just as blessed as mine was
through this one little verse from God's Word.
Our dear precious Heavenly Father.
Thank you for Your Word
that reaches into our hearts, through Your Spirit,
and touches those cord strings
which draws us ever so close to Thee.

~Be Lovely~

I will be joining Stephanie's party at

Our Spiritual Heritage

Have you ever thought about what you are leaving
as a spiritual heritage to the generations to follow?
There at the Jordan River,
one man from every tribe of Israel was to retrieve
a large stone from the momentarily dry river bed
to help build a memorial.
This memorial would stand as a reminder
for the generations of God's miraculous deliverance.
(Exodus 12:14 ~ 13:14 ~ Numbers 16:40)
You may want to consider reading the book of Joshua as a study,
but I would love to share with you a brief condensed look into Joshua's life.
Joshua is a great example for us to follow.
* Joshua was a man of action
who enjoyed a close relationship with God.
He trusted and obeyed God.
He immersed himself in the assurances of God,
and lived in day-to-day obedience.
* Joshua was a man who was in fellowship with his God.
*  Joshua knew what it was to pray.
* Joshua's faith in God was evidence on many occasions.
* In Joshua's "busy" life he saturated his mind
with the Word.
The Lord told Joshua to stay the course
and keep walking in the way he knew to be right.
Joshua would be successful if he would be faithful
to fill his mind and heart with the words of the Lord.

* Joshua was true to God's Word,
as well as his own for the people.
He wanted to leave behind him a people marked by loyalty
to God and to His Word.
* Joshua, in a prominent position,
was neither self-seeking
 nor self-centered.
* Joshua accomplished much for the service of God.
He was responsible for a nation
of 2 million people and led an army
of over 600,000.
From the day he ventured into battle
against the Amalek until his moving farewell
address ( recorded in Joshua 24 )
he committed himself wholeheartedly
to the service of God.
*Joshua, what a testimony of faith in his Great God.
Joshua is an example that we too can follow
in our walk with the Lord.
I would highly recommend reading Joshua chapter 24
in his message for the people-from their leader
in his final statement before his death at the age of 110.
Joshua caused his people to remember what God
had done for them.
It wasn't about himself ~ it was about his Great Miraculous God.
Joshua called his people to serve God,
and Him only.
What great things has God done in and through you
that you are leaving as a legacy
for the next generations?
Every day as believers we are confronted with many alternatives,
 and we must continually choose to serve God.
We must choose each day whom we will serve.
If we are going to serve God,
then we must serve Him wholeheartedly
in sincerity and Truth.
We may not use large stones as the tribes of Israel did,
but we can still construct "memorials" as reminders
of God's powerful work in our lives
and our spiritual heritage.
( Joshua 4:24 )
"That all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord,
that it is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever."
Will your spiritual heritage reveal to others
and to the next generations the hand of God
in your walk with Him?
Will they see His mighty works
that testify what He has done for you?
"For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan
before you until you had crossed over,
as the Lord your God did to the Red sea,
which He dried up before us until we had crossed over,
that all the peoples of the earth may know
the hand of the Lord,
that it is MIGHTY,
that you may fear the Lord your God forever."
( Joshua 4:23-24 )
"For the Lord your God"
He is the same God today as he was in the day of Joshua.
He is your God! He is my God!
What are we allowing Him to do in our lives;
and what will be remembered in generations to come?

Our precious Heavenly Father.
What an example of a faithful man we find in Your Word,
 through the life of Joshua.
Cause us to walk close to Thee,
in obedience to Your Word daily.
May we be committed to serve You wholeheartedly
in what You have called us to do
so the next generations may see
Your mighty works.

~Be Blessed~

Yesterday I came home to a sad sight with my hummingbirds.
There on one of the feeders was a hummingbird
hanging upside down!
I gasped!!
Ran into the house and literally dropped my arm full of things
and ran back out side to help this little guy.
It appeared to me that he was not alive,
but I could not get his tiny feet to budge from the feeder.
As I began to try and release him I could see his tail feathers slightly moving
and thought, wonderful, he's alive!
I managed to break him free and place him on my finger,
but his breathing was very shallow...
I ran into the house and got a glass of sugar water
and placed his beak into the water...Nothing...
He wouldn't even open his beak.

On my way home I was singing the hymn " Higher Ground"
so the tune was fresh in my mind.
I love to make up songs to other tunes
and so I began to sing a song to this little guy to that tune.
These were the words I was singing to the chorus of Higher Ground:
Lord give this bird the strength to fly,
I know You can, I'm begging You,
It's all I ask of You dear Lord.
Lord lift him up to higher ground.
This may seem strange, but as I sang to that little guy
he became stronger...
His wings began to flutter,
in fact, strong enough that I could feel the
wind from them on my face.
There was hope...
He even opened his eyes a little bit...
I cried...I prayed...I sang...and I placed his beak in the water
for two hours straight...
What was so odd was that he never opened his beak
or placed his tongue in the water.
During the two hours I sat on the front deck
doing all that I could think of to save this little guy
I had the blessed opportunity to examine closely
this beautiful creation of God.
The feathers were amazing in color and size,
his feet were like Velcro clutching my finger
and so tiny to the touch.
Hummingbirds are so quick that
 you never really get a chance to see them close up.
But for me...What a blessing!
It was a bitter-sweet experience.
At 11:00 last evening he died in the sweet little nest I had prepared for him.
He didn't make it.
God's ways are not our ways are they?

What happened????
We may never know.
 My dear Stephanie looked up on line
why hummingbirds hang upside down.
Turns out, there is something called "tongue-fungal- infection" in hummingbirds
and it can be fatal.
It is caused by not washing the feeders, or letting the sugar water sit in the sun too long.
I have always been so careful about these things.
Was it me? Did this little guy catch it at another feeder?
Questions I may never know the answers to.
I am sharing this with you so you can be warned of the fatal outcome
that can happen to these precious hummingbirds.
Here is the link that Stephanie went to.
I hope it helps you to better know how to care for your birds.

Dear Heavenly Father.
This is the day which You have made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Many things come our way,
things we are not always ready for,
but You, O Lord, are in control of it all.
Praise Your Holy Name!

A Refreshed Soul

This morning I woke up to 6 of my 7 humming bird feeders
lying open~empty~and some broken
on our front and back decks.
The evidence was quite clear as to WHO was responsible!
No, it was not Boo boo or Yogi. :)
Little raccoon paw prints were everywhere
as he/she had tracked sugar water all over the deck.
I would be willing to say that this little guy
must have had quite the tummy ache today.
Serves him right!
This was such a surprise
as we have not had a problem all spring and summer,
but now...that little guy has tasted the goods
and I'm sure he'll be back for more.
We are blessed in deed with the surrounding beauty
of God's marvelous creation.
"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation".

While I sit...listening to the creek which is right beside our home
the many humming birds are feeding and chasing
one another having a delightful time.
Our flock of humming birds consists of at least 30 birds.
amazing isn't it?!
We have the perfect spot for them,
and keeping their feeders full is sure to keep them around.
We are nearing 150 pounds of sugar so far
and still have two months to go.
Our home is nestled around many matured trees,
so these hummers live in a rather safe zone.
They are beautiful and bring us great joy.
Not only did I wake up to the empty feeders,
but one of my window boxes had been knocked
to the ground leaving my beautiful flowers scattered.
We have a mischievous little guy!
I have one window box that a particular chipmunk
loves to eat out of.
He/she nips the buds before I ever see the blooms.
Why couldn't it have been that window box
that was dumped to the ground?
Wild life... they do as they please.
But such a delight to have around.
Today was a day of peace and tranquility for me.
A much needed day.
After enjoying time in my kitchen canning peaches
I sat outside...breathed in the fresh air...
and just relaxed in the beauty of God which surrounds me.
My friend, the chipmunk, kept coming around
and seemed quite surprised that I was home.
I believe I upset his routine of visiting my flower box
as well as my husbands garden.
I haven't been home much these days,
and, as the saying goes
"while the cats away the mice will play".
The Lord refreshes our weary souls doesn't He?
Today was a day of refreshment for me
and I give thanks to the Lord.
God loves and cares for our every need,
He can use even His beautiful creation through nature
to encourage, uplift, strengthen  and refresh us.
"The Lord will give strength unto His people,
the Lord will bless His people with peace".
Many times we just need to stop and allow God to meet
us right where we are.
When we do~He will never fail us.
The hand of God Is Everywhere

It's true we have never looked on His face,
But His likeness shines forth from every place,
For the hand of God is everywhere
Along life's busy thoroughfare,
And His presence can be felt and seen
Right in the midst of our daily routine.
Things we touch and see and feel
Are what make God so very real.

~Helen Steiner Rice~

Thank you precious Heavenly Father,
for Your goodness to us.
Some times the days seem long
but we can find rest for our weary souls
in You alone.

~Be Blessed~

Nothing Stays the Same

I came home one afternoon to find this little guy
sitting in his nest right in the middle of our front deck.
His safe home that was once nestled up in a corner of our roof
had been blown down by a gust of wind that came through our valley rather quickly
 bringing with it a down pouring rain.
There he sat... all alone while his sibling was on the grass
just a few feet away
The mother was flying from tree to tree chirping non stop.
The home for these birds that seemed in contact changed in a big hurry.
One minute they were comfortable in their nest,
while the next minute the mama is frantically trying to protect and move her two
babies to another safe place.
On this particular day I had been at my parents home
helping them with the changes that are going on in their own lives.
As I watched this family of barn swallows in disarray,
I couldn't help but think of all that is taking place in the lives of my parents.
We knew the time would come when changes would have to be made
but we had no idea it was going to happen this summer and so quickly.
Fast and furious, like the gust of wind that took out this birds nest ,
we too have been making changes.
Nothing stays the same, does it?
It is so easy to get comfortable in our environment
thinking nothing will ever change
but that's not realistic.
Life brings with it changes...
There are chapters of our lives.
Some of the chapters are wonderful and pleasant,
while others are not so enjoyable.
Have you ever come across chapters in a book that you really didn't want to read through?
I have...and I'm sure you have...
But...In order to get to the end,
we have to endure the chapter that isn't so wonderful.
We can be sure that no matter what chapter of our lives we may go through,
"God, makes all things work together for good
to them that love God,
and to them who are called according to His purpose".
( Romans 8:28 )
"For such a time as this" (from the book of Esther),
 I have been privileged to devote myself and my time to my parents
and their needs.
I have missed my blogging community and dear friends
but please know that I am here off and on
popping in to visit you.
I am praying that I will have some free time to post every now and then
but please do not give up on me. :)

Our Dear Heavenly Father.
Thank you for the chapters of our lives.
May we always praise You and give You the glory
no matter what is going on.
Cause us to be reminded of Your unfailing love.
May we hold strong to the promises that are found through out Your Word.

~ Be Lovely ~

Sad Quotes On Friendship ◕ _ ◕

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
"Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change."

"We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness."
"Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world."

It's Unfair!!!

Hey~Are You A Human Being..??
You Are So Cold Blooded..~!!

SMILE ✾◕ ‿ ◕✾

A smile is a sign of love
A smile is a sign of care
A smile tells how much to others
You are important and also dear

A smile is a sign of cheer
A smile is a sign of trust
A smile shows how you can
Be happy even in hard crust

A smile is a sign of joy
A smile is a sign of hope
A smile teaches you how you can
Remove the clouds of mope

For nothing but only a smile
Takes away your pain and trial
And pick your trouble's pile
And let you smile, smile and smile.

So,Even the others are not smiling..
You also need to smile..~!
So...Other's will Smile TOO~!

There have been recent reports that the Turkish police are “exiling” Iranian refugees to small and unsafe cities in Turkey close to the border of Iraq and Syria. These refugees are living in constant fear for their lives and safety. One such refugee is Mr. Farid Shoolizadeh.

Farid Shoolizadeh is a 37 year old Zoroastrian Iranian writer, journalist and political activists who was forced to flee from Iran approximately a year ago and has become a refugee in Turkey.

Until approximately a month ago Mr. Shoolizadeh was residing in the city of Nevsheir and participating in various peaceful political events and activities in support of political prisoners in Iran.

Approximately one month ago Mr. Shoolizadeh was “exiled” to the city of Sirnak by the police in Nevshehir. Mr. Shoolizadeh believes the reason for his “exile” is his religion as well as his involvement in peaceful political and human rights activities.

It must be noted that the city of Sirnak is located on the border of Iraq and Syria and there is constant armed conflict between the Turkish army and the armed Kurdish group PKK. There are also regular protests against the Turkish Government. The military has dealt with the protest by using tear gas or helicopters that pour scalding hot water/pepper on protestors.

Mr. Shoolizadeh suffers from asthma and has difficulty breathing, which has been exasperated by the tear gas he has been exposed to on regular bases. Also the cost of living in the city of Sirnak is extremely high, due to the constant armed conflict, making it extremely difficult for him to buy his medication or inhaler for his asthma or to even obtain basic food necessary for his survival. Mr. Shoolizadeh does not receive any financial assistance from the UNHCR.

There are no other Iranians living in the city of Sirnak, and because Mr. Shoolizadeh does not speak Turkish or Kurdish he is completely isolated from society. It must be noted that five other Iranian refugees have been transferred to small cities in Turkey close to the border where they live in grave danger and fear for their lives.

During my email exchange with Mr. Shoolizadeh I asked him what his expectations are of the Turkish Government and the UNHCR. He indicated that he hopes that the Turkish Government will transfer him to a safe city where other Iranian refugees reside, and that he hopes the UNHCR will review his file and grant him an interview at the earliest opportunity.

I call on all human rights activists, human rights organizations and groups and organizations who work with refugees to show solidarity with Mr. Shoolizadeh and all other Iranian refugees facing a difficult time in Turkey.

Action to be taken:

• Write letters/emails/faxes to the Turkish Embassies in your country voicing your concern about the Iranian refugees and urging the Turkish Government to transfer all Iranian refugees to safe cities within Turkey.

• Write directly to officials in Turkey urging them to transfer all Iranian refugees to safe cities within Turkey.

• Speak/write to the media about your concerns with respect to the situation of Iranian refugees, the more noise we make the better the chances of Turkish Government listening.

• Write to UNHCR voicing your concern about the situation of Mr. Farid Shoolizadeh and urging them to review his case as soon as possible.

Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions.

Guns Over Democracy

The NRA and GOP have overruled the DC cops. Guns will be more readily available on the streets of DC, whether DC cops like it not.

My position is not pro- or anti-gun; it is stop-fucking-around-in-my-backyard.

DC should be responsible for DC gun rights, within reason. I can buy some of the argument that guns should not be permitted in DC because the entire U.S. government is contained within DC's borders. So, if anything, I'd allow for reasonable demands by the federal government to set some restrictions on gun rights for DC - it really is a matter of national security.

DC should be allowed to strengthen gun control laws from what the federals hold, but the federales should not be able to force DC to weaken their gun control laws. This is common sense.

A 360 degree (compressed, to fit it all here in just 925px) of our Father-Daughter camping site in May 2010.

Des Informations, des Idées, et des Opinions Suspectes - rarement mises à jour et de qualité douteuse.

The Time:01

Cover of: The Time, sTEpHan hOPpE's thrilling new novel.

National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo) was this past 2104. It's a competition with very few rules; the objective is to write a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days. For the fifth time since 2006, I competed, and for the second time (the other being in 2009) I "won", that is to say, I knocked out a 50k word novel, somewhat coherent and totally un-spellchecked, in just 21 days.

It's a horrible bit of prose with almost no redeeming qualities. I change tense and I change perspective and I break the fourth wall literally hundreds of times but all that said, it's still much better than my 2006 effort, which was little more than a drunken rant against my 5 ex-wives.

It's called: "The Time", and because it's so awful, I've decided to put it up here, for all (both) of you loyal readers to see.

I could say that I hope you enjoy it, but ultimately I really could care less. Here are the details:

The Time (working title) was: Unititled

Author: shoppe

Genre: Thriller/Suspense

Partly out of revenge and partly out of a sense of outrage, out-of-work Etienne (Steve) LaMonde starts an investigation to expose the wrong-doings of the nation's largest charity organization. But almost as soon as he starts digging, the local police start an investigation of their own to find a prowler terrorizing Steve's small community, and Steve is the prime suspect.

Out you go, Aaron

"Casey or Aaron:  Gonesville."  So said my friend Penny, the Rock n' Roll Grandma, in agreement with my half-accurate bottom two prediction yesterday.  Greedy former journalist that I am, I told her I was stealing her "gonesville" and making it my own, and she generously handed over my new favorite word.  Shout out to Penny!  So, yes, the high school boy is gonesville, but the cowboy had a nice long ride, didn't he?

Top Five.  Not bad.  Give him a few years to mature, find some of that there charisma, and who knows?  Aaron's sweet voice and aw-shucks-ness might land him a record deal, a duet with Shania, or a free pass to Six Flags Over Dollywood.  There's just no telling, is there?  Now, I'd be remiss in not mentioning that it was Big Mike, not the Hotness, who faced danger last night, as did I,
                 I look hot here

attempting to recreate Lady Gaga's artsy-fartsy thing, in the privacy of my domain.  And, I'd be fibbing if I didn't tell you how much it surprised me that Casey and his ponytail survived the wreckage of "Blue Skies."  How did  Big Mike, who killed with "The Way You Look Tonight," wind up in limboland ?  That's a head-scratcher, my friends.  He made it to the top four, nonetheless, and hugged it out with Aaron, nearly crushing his tender bones, as he whispered into his ear, "Loser."  Oh, I'm sure he said something nicer than that.  I'm just f'n with ya.  I'm tired.  Two words:  Party boys.  What will next week bring on "Idol"?  Jamie Foxx.  Hey.  I do a mean "Hit the Road Jack."  Better rehearse, just in case they need a backup singer.

Obama Could Send Terror Warning to All U.S. Mobile Phone

/ On : 7:39 AM/
ShoutBloger: President Barack Obama will be able to send a warning text message to all mobile phones in the U.S., from about the terror threat to natural disasters, the program is still in the plan that was announced on Tuesday may 10, 2011.

As quoted by the Telegraph, from next year new phones and other handheld devices will be asked to come with a special chip to receive the warning, either sent by the state or local authorities.

The users will be able to choose any kind of warning that came out except a warning that the arrival of President Barack Obama, said the U.S. federal communications commission.

The system will include a warning about a missing child and will stop other mobile phone traffic to avoid delays in warning it was important.

Barack Obama, who in dubbed as the "texter-in-chief", will face criticism from libertarians accept liability presidential memorial that.

But government officials looked at the mobile phone system, known as Personal Localized alerting Network, as a logical advancement of public warnings through radio and television.

Lessons learned from the events of 11 September is the importance of getting clear and accurate information to the public during a crisis situation, said Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York, where the scheme would be implemented first time there next year. It will then be expanded to Washington and other largest cities in the U.S.

He said the warning was a quantum leap forward in the use of technology to help people stay safe. The warning signal and will have a unique vibration, said the authorities of the federal emergency management agencies.

The announcement of the emergency warning system that comes after the death of Osama bin Laden and further increase security awareness in the city that never attacked by Al-Qaeda who have very destroyed almost ten years ago.

Facebook Deals services will be stopped

/ On : 6:49 AM/
ShoutBloger: After doing the trial for four months, Facebook finally stop service that seeks to rival Facebook Deals Groupon service.

After testing Deals for four months, we decided to discontinue this product within the coming weeks, explains Facebook to Reuters quoted by Mashable on Saturday August 27, 2011.

Facebook launches Deals in late April with hopes of 750 million more of its members to use the product in their everyday commercial transactions.

Facebook Deals feature itself is basically an extension of service up Places. Deals to provide incentives for Facebook users to integrate Places in their daily lives, and they are also an incentive for major marketers and brands to put more money into the Facebook platform.

We think there is a major force in social networking to encourage the interest of the local business community, added Facebook.

We've learned a lot from the tryouts and will continue to evaluate how best to improve local business, he concluded.

Tunesday 6: Theresa Andersson

Theresa Andersson, Hummingbird, Go!

I first heard this talented artist on NPR, as she was being interviewed about this album. Theresa Andersson is a multi-instrumentalist who provides nearly all of the sounds on this album herself, with the help of two looping machines. She also utilizes samples from great artists, especially those from New Orleans, where she has lived since 1990 since moving from Sweden. In concert, every performance of each song is different, since she starts over from scratch each night. Just watching her keep it all straight makes me feel like a complete klutz.

There are a range of emotions covered in just thirteen songs. From the meditative "God's Highway" to the intense Swedish "Innan du Gar" and the soulful "Now I Know" to the whimsical "Japanese Art" there is absolutely no telling where she is going next, but it's all an original, fantastic ride.

Here's how she does it:

Try Theresa Andersson, and put another knife into the black heart of modern commercial radio.

Wow! She's got a set of lungs on her, huh?

This reminded me of very early K.T. Tunstall; she was able to accompany herself with practically full orchestration, too. It's cool.
