Elizabeth R Media Fund: Judging panel named

Posted by Nigel Baker

A distinguished panel of judges, covering a wide spectrum of media expertise, has been announced by the Elizabeth R Media Fund’s inaugural Commonwealth Digital Challenge.

The panel, drawn from India, Canada and South Africa, has combined experience of the management of digital business, digital content production and media best practices and ethics.

The competition is a new venture by the Elizabeth R Media Fund aimed at providing young, and aspiring, media managers from the Commonwealth with the skills necessary to help their organisations face the digital challenges in their countries.

The judges

Gulshan Verma - a mobile and online industry expert with 15 years’ experience in building profitable business channels. As Chief Revenue Officer of Times Internet, India’s largest digital product company, Gulshan is responsible for driving the entire revenue channel for the group. He plays a pivotal role at Times Internet in accelerating India’s digital transformation with its brands and platforms across languages and age groups. He also leads business development and strategic partnerships for the group. In addition, Gulshan has worked with Yahoo!, Outbrain, McKinsey & Co and The Associated Press across Europe, North America and Asia.

Pat Perkel - executive director of The National NewsMedia Council of Canada – a voluntary self-regulatory body overseeing ethics in most of the country’s English-language print and digital media.  She is also editor of YourCommonwealth, a website for emerging writers and youth leaders to exchange perspectives on current events and issues. Pat previously dealt with journalists and journalism issues internationally during a term as executive director of the Commonwealth Journalists’ Association. She spent 30 years as journalist in Ontario, reporting for print, broadcast and the new digital platforms on a vast array of stories.

Viasen Soobramoney - head of digital content and assistant editor, business, of Independent Media of South Africa – a leading multi-platform content company. He is a multiple, award-winning journalist with 12 years’ experience across different media. He is a former Vodacom Journalist of the Year (National) and the founder of Africa's first mobile journalism newsroom. He specialises in corporate and strategic communication and digital convergence, where he integrates various media to convey strong strategic messaging.  Viasen has represented South Africa and his media organisation at several international gatherings of the news media and is a regular media trainer and speaker.

Excellent Panel

“We are delighted that the Elizabeth R Media Fund has attracted such an excellent panel of judges for the first Commonwealth Digital Challenge," says Nigel Baker CEO of the Thomson Foundation. "Gulshan, Pat and Viasen will bring an outstanding mix of digital business skills, media standards expertise, digital content creation and journalistic integrity to the judging task.’

The Elizabeth R Media Fund

The fund is a re-branding for the Elizabeth R Broadcasting Fund which was set up in 1995 to assist the development of broadcasting skills in the Commonwealth. It was established with a donation from Buckingham Palace out of royalties from “Elizabeth R”, the 1992 BBC documentary which marked the 40thanniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

The competition

Commonwealth Digital Challenge entrants have been asked to submit an initial 400-word statement outlining a particular digital challenge posed to their organisation, or media sector in their country, together with a potential business case for how it could be addressed.

Twenty applicants will be invited to take three on-line modules in digital skills and newsroom management from the Thomson Foundation’s new, online “Journalism Now” programme.

The most successful of the 20, in the opinion of the judges, will be invited to spend a week’s intensive study of UK media organisations in London, during the week of the Commonwealth Summit in London, in April, 2018 – with all expenses paid.  It will be followed by mentoring by Thomson Foundation consultants for 12 months.

Competition deadline

Applicants must submit their initial entries by midnight GMT on Friday, November 3rd, 2017.

How to enter

Applicants to the Elizabeth R Media Fund must be citizens of a Commonwealth member country, excluding the UK. Entries must be submitted in English. The competition is open to journalists and media managers aged between 28 and 35 on April 1st, 2018.

Alert McDonald's worker helps police find Steve Stephens

Alert citizen at Erie, PA McDonald's helps track down Stephens

ERIE, Pa. -- Quick thinking by a McDonald's worker brought the two-day manhunt for Steve Stephens to an end..

Stephens was at the center of a nationwide manhunt after police say he killed 74-year-old Robert Godwin Sr. on Easter Sunday at 695 East 93rd Street in Cleveland. Stephens later posted the video of him shooting and killing Godwin on Facebook.

The Cleveland Police and the FBI put the word out nationwide that Stephens was likely still driving the white Ford Fusion with the temporary license tag of #363630. They had also widely distributed his photo.

Social media soon spread the word. Erie is only a 2-hour drive from Cleveland.

TIMELINE | How a deadly Facebook shooting led to Steve Stephens' suicide

Just after 11 a.m. today (Tuesday), a female employee at the McDonald's drive-thru pay window in Harborcreek Township recognized Stephens and told her manager.

According to WKYC's Chris Tye, the manager called Pennsylvania State Police and that Stephens was there.

Stephens had ordered a 20-piece McNuggets and a side of fries. To stall him, employees allegedly told him the fries weren't ready yet.

According to Tye, Stephens pulled away from the drive-thru when he spotted police pulling into the McDonald's parking lot.

Sources tell WKYC's Monica Robins that the person who gave the tip that led to his location will receive the $50,000 reward.

Following a short pursuit of about a mile or so, police executed the pit maneuver -- striking a car on one of its fenders to make it spin -- on Buffalo Road by an abandoned school and an officer saw Stephens pull out a pistol and shoot himself.

Steve Stephens dead: 'We have closure'

Police said in a 3:30 p.m. news conference that an autopsy of Stephens' body will occur Wednesday at the Erie County Coroner's Office.

ALBANY -- A man who allegedly pummeled and kidnapped his wife in their downtown Albany home also kept a cache of weapons in his luxury car -- and told his spouse he was "ready and waiting" to kill her three days before the attack, a prosecutor said Monday.

Philemon Chavis, 44, likely faces new charges after investigators found knives, a Taser and a sawed-off shotgun in his BMW, said Assistant District Attorney Shannon Sarfoh.

Chavis already faced 25 years behind bars on allegations he slammed his wife's head into concrete, doused her with bleach and choked her into unconsciousness inside 22 Garden Alley on March 13. Authorities say Chavis abducted his wife, tied her up with a seat belt in his other car, a Saab, and made her call her family seeking a $100,000 ransom. Officers later arrested Chavis at the couple's home, where his brutally beaten wife was found in the Saab.

Karen Chavis, 46, married to her alleged abuser for 25 years, suffered bleeding on the brain, two broken ribs, a collapsed lung and cracked teeth. She was in critical condition at Albany Medical Center Hospital but has since been released.

More Information

The discovery of weapons in Chavis' BMW surfaced as Chavis was arraigned in Albany County Court on an indictment charging him with first- and second-degree kidnapping, first-degree assault, coercion and strangulation.

On Monday, Chavis was ordered held on $250,000 bail; Sarfoh requested no bail or at least $500,000.

During the Sunday morning attack, Chavis "indicated that he had intended to kill the victim the prior Thursday -- and had a vehicle all ready and waiting," Sarfoh told acting Supreme Court Justice Dan Lamont.

Chavis' attorney, Holly Trexler, told Lamont the prosecution's bail request was "outrageous."

Chavis, an Indiana native, was recently asked to resign from his job as a public works investigator for the state Department of Labor. Trexler noted he owns two buildings and 10 apartments. She asked that bail be reasonable given Chavis has no prior criminal record. She also asked that he be free to work as a self-employed electrician.

"Respectfully, our version of events differs significantly from the (prosecution's) version of events," Trexler said.

Sarfoh said Chavis was recorded giving his wife orders as she left a voice-mail message for her mother asking that the ransom be delivered to the couple's home "immediately."

Sarfoh told Lamont, "In the background you can hear the male voice -- identified as the defendant -- directing her to leave a message and directing her what to do in terms of hanging up the call."

When Karen Chavis' brother received a ransom call from his sister, he asked her if someone had forced her to make the call. When she confirmed that to be true, he called police, Sarfoh said.

Sarfoh said when Albany police arrived, they saw Chavis enter his car, but police blocked him. He entered the house with police but ran out the back door. He was arrested on Madison Avenue.

He was taken to St. Peter's Hospital where, Sarfoh said, he sought mental health medication. She said when Chavis was asked if he had ever attempted suicide, he replied "Not yet."

Trexler told the judge her client was taken to the hospital because officers hit him with their vehicle and used the Taser on him four times. If her client is free, she argued, it would be easier for him to get a mental health evaluation.

TROY -- The city plans to refinance one-third of its long-term $52.8 million debt that was used to bail it out in the 1990s to cut its proposed tax increase, city officials said Thursday.

If a deal is sealed, city homeowners would see the proposed 2011 tax rate drop to a 3.26 percent increase or 40 percent lower than the original 5.5 percent tax hike.

"We definitely do have this down to 3.26 percent," Deputy Mayor Dan Crawley said about his work, done along with Mayor Harry Tutunjian.

Council President Clement Campana, a Democrat, and Councilman Mark McGrath, a Republican, said they're ready to hear more.

The city would refinance $16 million in debt, resulting in a savings of up to $1 million, Crawley said. The $16 million is the only part of the debt that can be called and replaced with new bonds at a lower interest rate, Crawley said.

The state Comptroller's Office and the Troy Municipal Assistance Corp. board are supportive, Crawley said.

This would be the second cut in the proposed tax rate increase since Tutunjian unveiled his proposed $63.89 million budget that set projected tax rate at $78.76 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The new proposed tax rate is $1.68 less with it now coming in at $77.08 per $1,000. The 2010 rate is $74.65 per $1,000.

More Information

Jeff Pirro, a Tutunjian spokesman, pointed out that the MAC debt accounts for about one-third of the city tax levy.

Tutunjian has requested a meeting of the council's Finance Committee to review the proposal, Campana said. The City Council must approve a change in the debt in order to achieve the savings.

The Troy MAC debt accounts for 97 percent of the city's general fund debt. The Troy MAC debt is $52,295,598, while the city's total debt is $53,858,098.

Crawley said the administration is looking for more ways to reduce the proposed tax increase. The City Council is conducting its own budget review.

Tiger Woods and Elin -- The Secret Meeting

12/7/2009 11:56 AM PST

Tiger Woods and Elin -- The Secret Meeting

Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren had a meeting yesterday with a mysterious suited man, this according to a neighbor who talked to TMZ.

We're told Tiger, his wife and the suited man all showed up to Tiger's house in Isleworth around 4:00 PM yesterday. They all arrived in separate cars -- Elin in a red Buick, Tiger in a Black Escalade (not that one), and then the suited man in a third vehicle.

The suited man left after the 2.5 hour tête-à-tête, but Tiger and Elin's cars are still there at last check.

We called Tiger's lawyer to figure out who the mystery man was -- no comment.

Mel to Oksana -- 'I Could Commit a Crime'

9/22/2010 10:30 AM PDT

Mel Gibson Letter to Oksana -- 'I Could Commit a Crime' --

Mel Gibson wrote a frantic, rambling letter to Oksana Grigorieva a year before their infamous, January blowout -- in which he describes feeling so out of control that he "could drink or commit a crime."

TMZ has obtained a copy of the letter -- handwritten by Mel -- and in it he says, "I'm so ragged I could drink or commit a crime. The anger seems to be out of my control -- I need to do something about it something lasting -- not just a band aid."

In the undated letter -- which sources connected to the case tell TMZ was written in December 2008 -- he says, "I don't know why I'm so whacky and depressed but I need to get well and re-enter life.  Please don't be upset I've gone -- I'm just not myself and feel bad when I am so f**ked up and sick around you."

Mel goes on:  "I don't want to inflict this unhealthy version of myself on you."

Mel theorizes, "Maybe it's some kind of male menopause -- or Brian's s**t."  We're told Brian is Mel's holistic doctor.

In the letter, Mel repeatedly tells Oksana, "I love you" and says, "...this isn't who I was meant to be -- I know it!  I'm scared I can't get back."

Lindsay Lohan's Not Paranoid - She Has Enemies!

Lindsay Lohan's Not Paranoid - She Has Enemies!

At first blush, it looks like Lindsay Lohan is off the wagon, guzzling champagne ... a day after she got sprung from the pokey.

But we know the person in the picture is NOT Lindsay Lohan ... and it's the latest in a series of photos/videos pitched to TMZ and other news outlets ... making it appear that Lindsay is off the rails again.

This picture was taken at Eclectic Wine Bar & Grille in North Hollywood Sunday afternoon. We're told the staff thought it really was Lindsay and even comped her meal.

But TMZ has confirmed Lindsay wasn't anywhere near the restaurant when the picture was taken.

Is someone trying to set Lindsay up? Are paparazzi on the hunt for a Lindsay look-alike to make a quick buck?

The answer is yes and yes.

Sean Penn's Son RAMS Photog F*** You N***er

3/27/2013 12:35 AM PDT

Sean Penn's Son Hopper RAMS Photog -- 'F*** You N***er'

              **Warning: Video contains graphic and offensive language**

Sean Penn
's son handled a paparazzo in Beverly Hills today much the way his father used to ... violently ramming the photog -- and also calling the guy a "f***ot" and a "n***er."

19-year-old Hopper Penn was following his dad into a medical building when he got into the altercation with an African-American photographer (not TMZ's).

The nuclear exchange was all caught on tape ... Hopper gets up in the photog's face, pushing him, then says, "F*** you ... you're a f***ing f***ot ... shut up you f***ing n***er."

Cops happened to be nearby at the time and heard the commotion. Law enforcement sources tell us, officers asked what happened ... but the photog said it was just a verbal argument, and he didn't want to press charges.

Hopper tells TMZ his side of the story is ... “I was accosted by paparazzi and made to feel like an animal - threatened and under attack, but that does not condone my own actions."

He adds, "I deeply regret my choice of words.”

FYI, Sean was 100% calm and cool in today's video.

It's been nearly four years since Sean's infamous kicking altercation with a photog. He was sentenced to three years probation stemming from that incident.

Ukraine Formally Scraps Non-aligned Status

Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has signed a law revoking Ukraine's non-aligned status as part of efforts to move the country closer to NATO, the western military alliance. Russia views NATO expansion as a threat and President Vladimir Putin last week signed a military doctrine reiterating those concerns. Poroshenko signed the bill, overwhelmingly approved last week by Ukraine’s parliament, at an end-of-year press briefing in Kyiv. The change in status moves Ukraine closer...

july update

Welcome to this update from Tom Doughty Lap slide guitarist. Steel guitar player, singer/songwriter, dry stone ball builder

Request: A quick one! I’ve re entered my virgin short film and discovered that one of the judging criteria is the number of comments it receives. So as the Ice Cream man said, ‘please stop and give me one’
Go here: THANKS.

Recent Gigs

Lymm with Tommy Allen/Johnny Hewitt was a blast: A good crowd who were really appreciative and interested. A pleasure to play for; leading nicely into the weekend at Worthenbury Blues festival. What a well organised day with such a contrasting approach and line up – a band followed by an acoustic act with immediate turn around using separate sections of the one massive stage. The audience were up for it too; the weather was great and its really good to meet someone else like me; a peer group; and in some ways there’s not many of us about. I’ll explain: A cervical spinal injury is a pretty specific thing. The obvious bit is you become a wheelchair user; but less noticeable are things like changes in body shape, posture and hand function. However, for those of us who have been injured in this way, its easy to spot another. In a world where you are a very small minority, identifying another like you is really easy and usually a pleasure; and in theory, physically, you know what the other persons life is like. So it was at Worthenbury; from the stage as I was singing my first song, I noticed this bloke in the audience who was just like me. Except, that he was a lot smarter, sporting Blues Brothers suit and pork pie hat. After my first set, we met and instinctively, he knew exactly what he could say to me. it was something along the lines of ‘how the fu##in hell do you do that’? to which I replied ‘not telling you’ followed by ‘there’s a bloke hiding around the back playing the guitar’ Life at that moment was light, fun, in the breeze and we were friends on a level of mutual understanding. I love situations like that. Life’s twists and turns. Of course the disability peer group is only one of hundreds or thousands I belong to, but its an obvious one. The photo was taken by Victoria. She captures the difference between my tin full of picks and my slide verses just some of what you need if you’re a serious drummer! My thanks to Pete Evans and the team of volunteers who made such a great job of the festival.

Concerts for Spinal Units
This is an idea I’ve had brewing for some time but a number of recent events have brought it to my attention again. I’ve played at the Regain National Dinner thing in London at the sublime Intercontinental Hotel and my film ‘Including you’ also is about Spinal Injury and my musical journey; I’m teaching 3 folk, through the internet; all of whom are tetraplegics, just like me. The idea would be to visit each spinal unit in the UK (there are 14) over a three week period and hold a workshop and play a concert for patents, ex patients, professionals and members of the public. It needs funding…..but this is the idea.

House Concerts

Now we’ve moved to Slidey Towers, there’s a music room with space for concerts. Fabuloso. What’s more, the first one is on Friday 19th August and features my old muckker Jim Crawford. Its by invite only and places are limited, so e mail me QUICK if you would like to join us.

There’s loads other stuff too, but for now that’s my musings done!
Till next time
keep picking it …whatever you’re picking

Top 10 Vegan and Vegetarian Eats on The Strip

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

This isn’t just a passing fad in the culinary scene. Resorts up and down the Las Vegas Strip are going with the latest trend and are featuring a heavy vegan theme. That’s right: mindful eating is the new Kobe beef.

Wynn Las Vegas

Thanks to Steve Wynn, the restaurants inside his namesake and its twin, Encore, all serve up veggie and vegan dishes. At Bartolotta, veggie and vegan options abound. Try the Cappellacci di Porcini, mushroom filled ravioli with sage, or the Gnocchi di Patate con Fonduta di Pomodoro, a potato gnocchi in creamy tomato sauce and cheese. Over at Botero, check out the pasta and “clams,” served in konbu broth with quinoa and broccoli rabe and then finish the meal with some blackberry sorbet. The Country Club has heaps of options, like the tempe-style “crab cake” appetizer, sesame seared tofu or truffle creamed spinach. At Lakeside, slurp up some vegan “clam” chowder or indulge in fired Gardein Chick’N Breast. Sinatra has plenty of non-meat options like the Gardein Marsala or Agrumi, as does SW Steakhouse with its Gardein Vegan Meatballs. Switch Steak isn’t just about steak – it’s also got plenty of vegan options like the tofu Carpaccio or polenta mushroom cake or veggie pot pies. Tableau has got gorgeous vegan breakfast options like the “eggs” benedict with scrambled tofu and vegan “tuna” salad sandwiches. Finally, for some Asian options, check out Wazuzu with vegan sushi, dim sum, bowls and more.

Make Up | Maybelline Immortal Charcoal

So, after the amazingness that is On&On Bronze I wanted a new colour in these amazing eyeshadows. As a mostly neutral kinda gal I went for Immortal Charcoal. It's a metallic smokey dark silver that looks gorgeous once it's on.
I say once it's on because this is so much harder to apply then On & On Bronze. I found it really really stiff and just really hard to create an even finish as I can with the former mentioned colour. Very confused I have to say as the first one I used was so easy to use and apply, but this one I have real trouble with, which sucks as the colour is gorgeous - once you get it all on.

As with On & On Bronze it is very long lasting and incredibly smudge proof - a really great thing about these products really in their lasting power. There isn't any fading and I love it for that.
If this colour was a bit easier to apply I'd be running out the door to buy others, but this has put me off a tad. Has anyone else had this issue?
Today I am off to lunch with the gorgeous Paige from paigejoanna.com so be prepared for some pics on Instagram and Twitter. I've been a bit sporadic in terms of posts this week - mainly just cause I've had a couple of things going on which have taken priority, and honestly it's been nice to take a bit of a back seat this week. Having said that I still got my 5 posts out this week so I can't really complain at myself! Hope you guys have a lovely weekend whatever you're doing!

What's your fave colour? What cream eyeshadows do you recommend?

Last weekend, a Koenigsegg Agera RS went to a very straight stretch of road in Nevada, pointed its nose at the horizon and let rip. Once it’d done that, it spun around and did the same again.

The result of these two runs was an average speed of 447.19kph, making it the fastest production car in the world. It’s a feat that topples the previous Vmax record held by John Hennessey ever since his Venom GT hit 435.31kph at the Kennedy Space Center in 2014. And it also piles pressure onto the Bugatti Chiron’s broad shoulders to deliver a big number…

Having lost his top speed crown to the Swedes, we spoke to John Hennessey to get his thoughts on the new star in this incredible top speed soap opera that’s starting to develop.

“Those guys crushed our number and I think it’s great,” he told TG UK. “Christian did it right. He just played it cool and built a dedicated car to smoke everybody. He laid the hammer down.”

Having first heard about the rumblings of a top speed run a few weeks previously, it all got very real for John when a friend—who was present in Nevada at Koenigsegg’s run—started texting speeds through to him.

“My first thought was ‘did they run both directions?’, because that’s a question everybody asks us. Then I wondered if they’d brought proper Racelogic VBOX equipment to validate the data. I later heard that they did.  So once I saw the official news come out on Instagram and then YouTube, I looked at it and I thought they did it right. And fair play to them.”

It was actually the same guy from Racelogic who previously verified John’s Venom GT records, so he’s in no doubt that the numbers are legit.

This does open up the debate about a common validation for these top speed records. Follow Guinness’ stringent rules for a page in their thick, shiny book like Bugatti did? Or just go very quickly and get a trusted independent to verify the speeds?

“I think Guinness is irrelevant,” says John. “They’re a business. They’ve certified records for us, but does Guinness need to certify a record for yards rushing or number of touchdown passes made in the NFL? No. I don’t think that you need to have Guinness there to make a number official.”

But, importantly, does John think he can better Koenigsegg’s speed? Consider the Agera’s one-way pass of 459kph, which is crazy, crazy fast…

“Could we pull a Venom GT out of the mothball and take it out and challenge that? Possibly,” he contends. “But there’s no real reason to do it. When we ran 270 (mph) at NASA it wasn’t our top speed, we just ran out of road.

“I’m not worried about it [Koenigsegg’s speed], I’m excited and motivated. I’ve been waiting almost four years for somebody to better the record. And once you have more players that are playing in the top speed game, then you have more relevance.

“It all puts pressure on Bugatti, to step up and deliver the number that everybody expects them to do. Then we’ll let those guys duke it out for a little while, then, once we figure out which one of those guys [Koenigsegg and Bugatti] is going the fastest, then we’ll take the F5 out and lay down a number.”

Yet, even though Koenigsegg set five speed records over the weekend (highest top speed for a production vehicle, 0-400-0 kph, flying kilometer on a public road, flying mile on a public road and highest speed achieved on a public road) John made it very clear that he still has one over Christian.

“Until Koenigsegg rips the roof off the Agera, we’ve still got that top speed record (427.4kph). So let’s see what they’ve got.”

With three very different companies, and three very different philosophies striving for one target in three different engineering packages, the fight to be the fastest car on the planet has never been more exciting.

Is the race to 483kph more relevant than ever? Let us know below.

Making the decision to purchase a new computer or laptop is not an easy one. What model do I want? How fast should it run? Do I opt for upgrades or stay with the basics? Probably the biggest decision though, is how MUCH do I want to spend? Whether your purchase is driven by personal or business use, this question still applies.

What does all this have to do with CompleteCare Accidental Damage Service? A LOT! You don’t want to go through the process of buying a computer/laptop more then you need to. That is why we ALWAYS recommend adding on this feature provided by Dell. This isn’t the typical warranty coverage–if you drop it, too bad –if you spill your coffee all over your laptop, too bad. With CompleteCare, coverage is much broader and allows you to save money in the long run if something does happen.

Coverage and Repairs Include:

  • Liquid spilled on or in the unit
  • Drops, falls or any other collisions–even if the LCD is damaged or broke
  • Electrical/Power Surge
  • Accidental breakage (lots of little pieces)

Keyword is ACCIDENTAL–if any of the above occurs intentionally, it will not be covered. But who would really throw their computer, right? (Unless you’re really frustrated with your IT support–of course it wouldn’t be Smart). Make the Smart decision and protect your investment.

Mercedes Vito Traveliner

Mercedes Vito Traveliner Van

Unlike the Dualiner, the Mercedes Vito Traveliner is more of a dedicated people carrier with 7 or 9 seat options that still allows for some luggage room at the rear. Having said that, seats can be removed fairly easily, transforming the spacious passenger compartment into a large load compartment in next to no time…according to Merc.
The seats and interior trim of both the cabin and the passenger compartment are superbly finished in high quality materials as you would expect from Mercedes and the drive is quiet and refined.

Ace Era: Butt-Fucked Beaten and Bound

Submissive muscle stud Ace Era stands between two vertical wooden pillars wearing a tight black bodysuit, black boots, and a leather mask that has him blindfolded, gagged, and breathing like Darth Vader. Each ankle and wrist is bound with rope keeping his legs spread and arms stretched out looking like a comic book hero trapped in an impossible predicament. In struts Sebastian Keys wearing all black leather from head to toe. He runs his gloved hands over Ace's protruding muscles and squeezes his ripped shoulders and biceps. Sebastian unzips the fly on Ace's bodysuit and reaches in. He pulls out his big cock already rock hard. Next Sebastian unzips the top of Ace's bodysuit and slaps his bare chest and abs. Sebastian grabs the flogger and goes full swing on Ace's cock. Ace yells muffled screams through the ball-gag as the flogging continues on his dick, chest, abs, and back. Blindfolded and gagged, Ace can't tell when or where he's going to be hit next, or with what as Sebastian discretely switches to the cat-o'-nine-tails, and slices it across Ace's back and ass without warning. In the next scene, Ace is lying face-down hogtied on a dirty mattress. Sebastian canes his ass and legs then shoves his cock in Ace's mouth. Next Ace is bound on his back spread-eagle on the same dirty mattress wearing only a rubber bit in his mouth to bite down on. He'll need it as the electricity surges into his asshole from the electric butt-plug Sebastian shoved up there. Ace wiggles and screams to the pulsing ass electrocution making Sebastian's dick even harder. Sebastian pulls the toy out and fucks his slutty asshole deep. Sebastian shoots a monster load into Ace's mouth and Ace cums all over Sebastian's leather boot, immediately lapping it up clean like a dog.

6th-grader competes in state Bee

April 12, 2012
Special to the Town Crier

Boardman Glenwood Middle School sixth-grader Pranav Padmanabhan participated in the Ohio Geographic Bee held Friday, March 30 at the Mansfield Branch campus of the Ohio State University, after extensive preparation both at home and at school. Pranav had the opportunity to compete against the 99 top geography students in the state.

The process began with students all over the state taking part in the preliminary round, which consists of 80 questions ranging from map locations to economic and physical geography, The 10 high scorers in the school then take a 100 question test where the student with the highest score qualifies to take the state level exam. consisting of 70 multiple choice questions. From that test, the top 100 scores in the state are invited to participate in the state bee in Mansfield.

As a sixth-grade student, Pranav was one of only four qualifiers in his preliminary group of 20 students to make it through all eight rounds without a single missed question. That score allowed him to advance to a tie-breaker round where he successfully completed another two rounds. That feat landed him in the final round of competition against nine other student qualifiers. The winner of

that final round would then be crowned state champion.

In the final round of competition, Pranav completed another two rounds without missing a single question. As a result, he finished the bee with 12 consecutive rounds without a single incorrect answer, although he would eventually be

eliminated before accomplishing his goal of becoming state champion.

Gold & Silver Prices – Daily Outlook May 16

Gold and silver prices continued their downward trend during yesterday’s trading despite the slightly positive news of the higher than expected growth rate of Germany’s GDP in the Q1 2012 (a  growth rate of 0.5%); the news of the new elections in Greece to be held in June raised the anxiety in the markets and dragged down the Euro. This news may continue to affect the forex and commodities markets in the days to follow. On today’s agenda: the minutes of April FOMC meeting, U.S housing starts report, Bank of England’s Governor King speaks, ECB President speaks, Japan’s Preliminary GDP 1Q2012, Euro Area Annual Inflation, German 10 Year Bond Auction will be held and BOE Inflation Report . Currently precious metals prices are plummeting.

Here is a short analysis for gold and silver prices for Wednesday, May 16th:

Precious Metals – May Update

Gold price slipped again on Tuesday by 0.25% to $1,557.1; silver also declined by 0.96% to $28.08. During the month gold fell by 6.44% and silver by 9.47%.

The chart below presents the normalized rates of precious metals during month so far (both metals rates are normalized to 100 as of April 30th).

Gold price forecast & silver prices 2012  May 16The ratio between two precious metals continued to rise as it reached yesterday 55.45. During the month the ratio increased by 3.35% as silver has moderately under-performed gold during the month. In the chart below are the developments of this ratio during May.

Ratio Gold price forecast & silver prices 2012 May 16On Today’s Agenda

Minutes of April FOMC Meeting: Following the recent FOMC meeting, in which it was decided to keep the monetary policy unchanged, the market didn’t react to this news as gold and silver prices only slightly rose. The minutes of the FOMC meeting might offer some insight behind this decision regarding the future steps of the FOMC;

U.S. Housing Starts & Building Permits : the housing starts figures were historically correlated with gold– as housing starts declined, gold prices tended to increase the following day (even when controlling to the U.S dollar effect); in the previous report, the adjusted annual rate declined by 5.8% (M-O-M) to 654,000 in March;

Japan’s GDP 1Q2012: Japan continues to demonstrate weakness as its gross domestic product shrunk by 0.6% during the fourth quarter of 2011, but expanded by 1.5% during the third quarter of 2011 (in annul terms). This news could affect the Japanese Yen;

German 10 Year Bond Auction: the German government will issue a bond auction;

Euro Area Annual Inflation (April): the inflation in Euro Area remained unchanged at 2.7% in March. the flash report for April the inflation rate edged down to 2.6%; If the upcoming inflation rate estimate will confirm the flash report’s figure, it may affect the ECB monetary policy;

Bank of England’s Governor King speaks: The governor of Bank of England will speak in a press conference and his speech could offer some insight to the recent BOE interest rate decision and monetary policy; this speech may affect the British Pound trading;

BOE Inflation Report: in the previous report the inflation sharply fell from its peak in late 2011;

ECB President Draghi Speaks: Following the ECB rate decision to keep the policy unchanged and the interest rate at 1% the President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi will talk in the  European Central Bank colloquium; the title of his speech is “Monetary Policy in Unconventional times“;

Forex / Gold & Silver Market – May Update

The Euro/U.S Dollar declined again on Tuesday by 0.73% to 1.2729 – the lowest level since January 2012. During the month (UTD) the Euro/U.S Dollar pair fell by 3.9%; furthermore, the Aussie dollar slightly depreciated on Tuesday against the U.S. dollar by 0.21%. As indicated below the correlation between gold and Euro/USD slightly fell in recent weeks but is still mid-strong (currently it stands at 0.33). Nevertheless, since these currencies pairs are still strongly and positively correlated with precious metals prices, as the U.S dollar continues to appreciate against the Euro and Aussie dollar, bullion prices may continue to be adversely affected from this trend. Currently the Euro is falling against the USD.

Correlation Gold Price and EURO USD October 2011 2012 May 16

Current Gold and Silver Prices as of May 16th

Gold (June 2012 delivery) is traded at $1,532.8 per t oz. a $24.3 or 1.56% decrease as of 07:52*.

Silver (June 2012 delivery) is at $27.32 per t oz – a $0.76 or 2.71% decrease as of 07:52*.

(* GMT)

Daily Outlook for May 16th

I speculate gold and silver prices will continue their downward trend during today’s trading. The upcoming reports from the U.S may curb this downward trend if the housing starts will continue to fall and if the FOMC minutes might reveal some more hints of a potential monetary expansion is in the horizon (I suspect low chances for this in the near future).  The political developments in the Euro Area mainly Greece may keep the anxiety levels in the financial markets high so that the Euro might continue its weakness against the USD; this Greek news may also drag along with it commodities prices. Finally, the upcoming report on the Euro Area inflation, BOE inflation and Japan’s GDP may affected each region’s respective currency and thus may also a slightly affect the bullion market.

Here is a reminder of the top events and reports that are planned for today and tomorrow (all times GMT):

Intercostal Chest Drains

Drainage of the pleural space by means of a chest tube is the commonest intervention in thoracic trauma, and provides definitive treatment in the majority of cases. While a relatively simple procedure, it carries a significant complication rate, reported as between 2% and 10%. While many of these complications are relatively minor, some require operative intervention and deaths still occur.

Palácio da Pena/ Pena National Palace Sintra Reviews

Palacio da Pena. Feb 09, 2017
This palace is a mixture of Arab minarets, towers and domes. It was built between 1840 and 1850.

Prince of Baviera D. Fernando of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, husband of D. Maria II ordered it to be build on the site of the ruins of the monastery of Our Lady of Pena.

Inside the palace you can see a large ball room, the kitchen and several rooms.

The palace has been painted yellow and pink in the 90' s. These were its original colours.

It is quite expensive to visit the palace, but there are some discounts if you buy a special ticket that entitles you to visit this palace and also the national palace, and maybe some other attractions in Sintra.

It's like a Walt Disney Castle shooting straight out of the woods! Nov 01, 2014
Sintra is Lisboa's most popular daytrip, and Pena is the most visited amongst all of Sintra's attractions, aka, be ready for crowds!

Pena Palace is more than just a palace. There's a sprawling forest included in the ticket. You could easily spend a day here if you're not giving Sintra the usual daytrip treatment.

My biggest piece of advice (and something I've mentioned in the blog entry linked to this review) is do NOT attempt to walk to Pena Palace from the Sintra train station. It's a longwinded series of switchbacks up the hill and can easily take a few hours, not to mention that it's simply not worth it. Save your energy for the actual Park by taking a bus at the train station.

From the entrance desks, the Palace is about half a mile hike uphill. As the entire park is located at a higher altitude, it means you get sweeping views of Sintra townand the valleys from vantage points across the park. The day I went, it was quite misty so I didn't get to experience any of that unfortunately. And, I was running short on time!

The Palace architecture is amazing. It's, as expected, a UNESCO world heritage site, the Pena Palace is used even to this day for State events. The architecture is incredible - looks part fairy tale, part German, part Islamic, part Renaissance and part neo Gothic. The entire Palace is built on a rock. The colours are by far some of the boldest I've ever seen on a Palace!

The thing that struck me the most is the wonderful tile display. Everything that's remotely ceramic has a design, even the toilet! The courtyard in particular is brilliant. There's a wonderful display of items and jewellery throughout the Palace.

Sadly, the scaffolding kind of 'killed' some of the enthusiasm for me, particularly for entire Palace façade shots. There was also another particular view that one sees on all postcards (of the Palace atop a hill at a distance). I asked the lady where I could get that shot, apparently at a "Catherine of Heights" point, but she added "only on a sunny day". After taking pics in the courtyard, went into the castle itself and it was quite nice.

The canteen on the terrace is noisy and abuzz and small for the number of visitors who use it. I took some more pics and started walking towards this Catherine's Point as the fog had started to clear but thought it could take a while and was already 130p so headed back to the main entrance to catch the bus to visit other attractions. There's another café by the entrance but sandwiches are quite expensive and they accept credit cards only for purchases above 5 Euro.

Overall, I'd not only recommend this palace but please please please save at least 2-3 hours for a visit. Don't rush the way I did. It's truly enjoyable and offers something for people of all ages!

Did you also had to hand in your camera, because you're not allowed to take photo's inside the palace?

Great views from Sintra Apr 02, 2011
If you are coming to Lisbon the Pena National Palace it´s a great place to visit.

It was built in the 16th century and still has the same breathtaking style.

The view over Sintra is incredible.

Hope you enjoy

Most beautiful palace in Portugal Sep 16, 2010
The Pena Park is a forested area that completely surrounds the Pena Palace, it spreads over 200 hectares of uneven terrain. Like the palace, the park was created in the 19th century by King Ferdinand II, who applied the exotic taste of Romanticism just as much to the park as he had done to the palace. There are trees from diverse and distant countries, such as the North American Seqoia, the Chinese Ginkgo and the Japanese Cryptomeria.

The park has an extensive system of paths and narrow roads, connecting the palace to the many points of interest throughout the park, and there are plenty of nice spots to have a picnic.

The castle could easily be the décor of an old-fashioned fairytale. The entire complex is a mixture of styles like Neo-Gothic, Islamic and Neo-Renaissance and together with the pink and yellow colours it makes it an excellent example of the kitschy Romanticism. The details, like heads of animals and a huge troll that decorates a gate, make it seem as if you have entered Narnia. It may all sound like a huge atrocity of tastelessness, but in truth it was the most amazingly beautiful building I have ever seen.

But the biggest attraction is the inside of the palace. In all other castles and palaces I have seen before, some furniture has been placed back to give an idea of what it looked like when people still lived there, but at the Pena Palace, it is as if nothing has been removed. Every single item, like reading glasses, a hair brush, tea cups and pillows are still there, as if the original habitants of the palace just stepped out.

Visiting central Portugal just isn’t complete without an afternoon at this fabulous palace!

Brightly colored Pena Palace Jan 31, 2009
Pena National Palace is located in the mountains above Sintra about an hour outside of Lisbon. Originally a monastery, the Palace has been renovated and added on to over the years with each addition appearing in a different brillant color. Today's Palace features fabulous blue, bright yellow and a pinkish red! It is quite the sight to behold after traveling on narrow winding roads through a dense forest, almost like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

You can wander around the outside of the castle enjoying almost 360 degree views. The interior is open to the public as well, though after the expansiveness of the exterior it can feel a bit cramped in places. While the food in the cafe was nothing remarkable the day I was there, it was a farily good value and the outside eating area was fabulous.

Pena Palace is located close to the Moorish Castle. The tourist bus that takes you to the Castle continues on up the road to the Palace. It drops you off at the bottom of yet another hill that you can either walk up or purchase a ticket for the shuttle bus. If you're going to more than one attraction in Sintra, you can buy a combo ticket for entrance to more than one attraction. No car? You can reach Sintra by bus or train.

We went out of Lisbon for one day and went to Sintra.

It's about 50 minutes by train (from Lisbon to Sintra). Sintra is situated in the hills.. and from the train station you need to take a bus, unless you like steep hills ;)

Wikipedia has a page on this palace >

It is absolutely gorgeous en I would certainly recommend going here!

A marvellous monstrosity Mar 10, 1999
The Pena Palace is set back from the public road but there is a small shuttle bus to the palace itself. The main bus route from Sintra station is a pretty remarkable journey in itself, rapidly gaining height and passing the Castle of the Moors (reviewed separately). My friend and I were prepared form reading the Rough Guide to see something pretty remarkable but it would be difficult to avoid being bowled over when you see the place itself.

In short, it's mad - quite mad. Architecturally it is known, with incredible politeness, as Romanticism. In fact try thinking of all the styles you can, jumble them together, count to 9 and shake - and BINGO - you've got it.

What neither of us guessed in advance was how much we should yearn to go in and explore. It was quite out of the question. There were steps everywhere. My motto is something like, ' grieve not for what thou canst not do but rejoice in what thou canst.' It has served me well but this was one place that really tested me to the limit.

Best ladyboy show on the Island! Sep 27, 2011
I stayed at Koh Tao for 10 days over the Christmas period of 2010. On Christmas eve, after having dinner at our Resort, my friends and I took a stroll through the streets of Sairee Beach. We crossed paths with a extravagantly dressed lady boy who handed us a flyer to the Cabaret show she performs in every night. Not a fan of Ladyboy shows, we decided to check it out anyway, as it looked like a whole lot of fun, and it turned out to be one of the best nights I had whilst on the island.

Situated on one of the main streets leading to the beach, The Queens Cabaret looks nothing special from the outside, and there is a big curtain blocking the view of the bar from the street.

The show was very entertaining, from the energetic dance routines to the glamour and the costumes. The ladyboys pranced around the stage lip synching to all kinds of songs - Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Beyonce, Lady Gaga just to name a few. Throughout the entire show, the audience is on their feet - singing, clapping, laughing, cheering - it really is just brilliant. Some of the dancers are just men dressing as girls, and others have had the full boob job and snip'n'tuck. They all look amazing - with their extravagant makeup and fancy costumes. The dancers interact with the audience throughout the show also, which is very funny. At the end of the show, they ask for volunteers who are taken back-stage, and get dressed up to perform alongside the girls for the final number.

Very cheap entry - only 200baht per customer, plus a free drink, or if you don't want to pay the entry free, you must buy 2 drinks. Very cheap for the entertainment provided. The lively colourful show lasts just over an hour and leaves the audience wanting more. The only downside - it said the show started at 10pm, but they waited until the place was almost full of people before commencing, so it didn't actually start until almost 11pm.

This is an easily overlooked trattoria just to the left of the magnificent La Collegiata Cathedral.

They offer a traditional expected Italian menu but also offer Sicilian specialties. They also offer specials of the day.

They have little tables that sit more in the street than on the sidewalk.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with reccomendations.

We had pasta a la norma and it was fantastic. They offer a tasty house wine, also.

The pricing is very reasonable as two of us ate for under 30 euro with wine.

AC Milan No2 Tassotti: I never had problem with Cassano

AC Milan assistant coach Mauro Tassotti says he never had a problem with Antonio Cassano.

Cassano took aim at Milan management after signing for Inter Milan, though reserved praise for Tassotti.

"Cassano asked to leave and the club was happy to let him go. Speaking with him in the past, given our good relationship, I'd often paraphrase Kennedy, asking him 'what he could do for the team and not just what they could do for him'.

"Anyway, now those things are behind us, because he went to another great team as he wished."

Celtic boss Lennon admits Norwich pushing hard for Hooper

Celtic boss Neil Lennon admits Norwich City are pushing hard to sign Gary Hooper.

Lennon revealed their contract offer to Hooper would be coming off the table on February 1 but he was clearly annoyed at the recent turn in developments.

Lennon said: "Norwich came in with an improved offer, if you can call it that. It was rejected immediately.

"In terms of his contract, that has been on the table since October and there has been no improvement on that offer but we feel it is a very good offer.

"But we respect Gary and his representatives' decision on that.

"That may change, we hope it does but I am pretty confident that on the 1st of February Gary will be a Celtic player which is what we all want."

Ex-Man Utd coach Phelan eager to jump back into football

Former Manchester United coach Mike Phelan is eager to jump back into football.

He left United during the summer after ten years on the coaching staff as David Moyes brought in his own team of assistants.

He told BBC Radio Manchester he is now looking for the next challenge: "In some ways it can be a spur to the next thing. I have had many, many years at Manchester United. I've done more than most people could ever have wished to have done at a big club, to have stayed there that long and in some ways done a decent job. If you hadn't, you wouldn't have been there that long.

"I think the next step for me probably is looking at management. That's all about opportunities and being given a chance. But they are few and far between, these jobs.

"I feel as if I can bring something to the table. It's a case of where you pitch yourself in. When you've worked at Manchester United and you've travelled the world and won major trophies, it's a case of 'can you pitch into the Premier League or do you start lower down? You need to know your onions if you are down there. You need to know how things are playing at that level.

"For me, I want that next challenge. I have a history and memories at Manchester United but I'm not going to dwell on that. I want to get back in there and have a right good go at it and try to make players and a club better."

Alec Wright - Serima Zimbabwe Convention - 2006

Hymn 107

2 Corinthians 4:16, “For which cause we faint not, but though our outward man perish, ye the inward man is renewed day by day.”  We sometimes hear about the miracle of convention.  I have been thinking of the miracle of renewing.  I hope that in these days we have all experienced the miracle of renewing.  I was thinking the other day, "Do I have any hard feelings against anyone?"  I was glad I could be honest and say, "I do not have any hard feelings against anyone that I know about."  It is not my goodness.  It is just God’s ability to renew our spirit.

In this verse it speaks about being renewed day by day.  Imagine if God only had to renew us at convention.  Can you imagine what our spirits would be like after a year?  The renewing of our spirit is day by day.  The outward man perishes.  I first came to Serima 42 years ago.  I can remember quite a few of you, what you looked like at that time.  If you look at me, you can see that the years are doing something to us.  We are getting older.  The ground is calling us, calling our bodies because the body is perishing.  Is there anybody here that is not perishing?  We are made of a material that perishes.  The inner man is being renewed every day.  We look at some of the older people here who could hardly make it here.  They want to be here.  It is the body that is old, but inside is the new man.  We are so glad to have our older people with us.  Maybe for some, their mind is not so good either.  They cannot even pray as they used to pray.  God is faithful to the old people.  He will allow these miracles to take place deep inside the heart.  The miracle that says, "I love this way.  I love this people."  Many can say, "I love the workers."  There was a sister worker one day who said, "At the end of the year, I would like the Lord to be able to say to me, 'Thank you for loving my people.'"

There are many of God's children.  When they come to the end of the year, they would also like the Lord to say, "Thank you for loving my servants."  There are some hymns that we have been singing all our lives.  When we sing them, they are fresh to us.  We have been listening to things we have been hearing for many years.  Are we tired of it?  No, because it is fresh.  God renews these old truthes to us day by day.  The prayers we listen to, we have heard some things prayed for, for many years.  We can say, "Amen."  We love to listen to the prayers, especially the prayers that come from the heart because it is like new again.

When God makes a new day, you see the sun coming up.  It is fresh.  It is a new day.  It looks new.  It smells new.  It feels new.  Everything about it feels new.  This way of God also, every day God want us to feel something brand new.  If we don’t pray, it will not happen like that.  We may have a young body.  If we don’t pray, we can have an old man inside of us.

In Samuel 2:19, we read of a man 80 years old.  The writer thought that this age was very, very old.  Some of you are getting near to that.  Some of you have passed it already.  You may not think it is so very old.  This man said, "My eyes can’t see the difference between good and evil.  My ears can’t hear the singing.  I can’t taste so well anymore the food."  If this man inside of us is getting old, the things of God do not taste so nice anymore.  We are not hearing the voice of God.  We are not seeing the way so clearly.  We are not seeing our own wrongs so clearly.  If this body inside of us is getting old, we are seeing all the wrongs in others.  We see no wrong in ourselves.  If our eyes are seeing properly, we see all the wrong in ourselves.  By grace, we forgive all the wrong we see in others.

It is sad to see some of our young people who have gone away from the way of God.  They have married outsiders.  They have lost their taste for the way of God.  Maybe some have got offended because of what someone said or did.  They start staying away from meetings.  They are not seeing the importance of the meetings anymore.  Afterwards, they are not hearing the voice of God anymore.  Where are they today?  They are not here.  They are far away.  We hope they come nearer.

When you get older, you can see an old person by their walk.  It says in the bible, "Walk about Zion."  How do we walk about Jerusalem?  I like to think that even when we are old, we can walk about Jerusalem.  We can think of the people we have met long ago.  We can think of the people who are serving God in other cities.  In our minds, we are walking.  We are keeping on walking, not only thinking of ourselves.  We are thinking of other people.  In the world, when people get old more and more, they just think of themselves, very dangerous.  If God renews us inside we still walk, walk about Jerusalem.  There was an old lady in bed in Cape Town, for thirty years.  When you came there, you could speak of many people and she remembers them.  Even though she was in bed, she was every day walking about Jerusalem.  She was still young inside.

When you get old, you get a problem.  It is hard to bend.  If we get old inside, it is hard to bend, hard to bend to the will of God.  We have been in contact with a sister who was in the work for many years.  The time has come when she is not able.  She is in a home where she is being cared for by other people.  Every time we come there, we are still seeing signs of willingness to bend.  Even though the outward man is perishing, inside this sister of ours is still trying to bend, bend to the will of God.

There is something we can do even when the body gets older.  We can do what Paul did, "I reach forward to that which is ahead of me."  A man who gets renewed has lots and plenty ahead of him and can reach out unto it.  We are having our last meetings today.  This is not the end.  We are reaching out to what God has for us tomorrow.  Even if tomorrow is not on this earth, we are reaching for what is there for us in eternity.

In the world today, in the medical world, doctors are trying to find a medicine that will make you young again or try to get a medicine that will keep you young.  The most clever people in this world have not yet found such a medicine.  The Lord has such a medicine.  It is the water of the word of our Lord Jesus.  If we drink it, it will keep us young.  If we don’t drink it, aren’t we foolish?  If there was a medicine to keep our body young, don’t you think we would have drunk it?  Now God has given to us the water of life to keep us renewed day by day.  If we don’t drink it, aren’t we something like the five foolish?  What made those five foolish?  We all think that we are among the five wise.

King David said, "Lord you know my foolishness."  There is probably a bit of foolishness in every one of us here today.  We would like to know what is this foolishness that would make us among the foolish.  When someone makes a start to serve God, if they don’t become like a little child, they cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.  They can come to meetings but they can’t enter the kingdom of heaven.  The five foolish, maybe they thought we could enter into the meetings and to the kingdom of God.

We don’t have to become like a little child.  Maybe we are clever, we can help these people to speak, as they hardly know how to speak in these meetings.  We have seen a few people like that.  They try to have a part in this way, but they never came in like a little child.  You do not expect a great oration from a little child, and they came in with great orations.  Did they stay?  No, foolish people come in as big people.  There is something that could be very foolish in my life today.

We look at the bread and wine.  It is a message from God, "I gave you My Son to live and die for you, to take away your sins, and to take you home for eternity."  If I am foolish I will think like this, "I can’t forgive other people, but I am sure the Lord will forgive me."  That is not possible.  We can take the bread and wine and we can think we are forgiven.  We could be foolish because if we are not forgiving one another.  The blood of Jesus will not cleanse us from all sin.  Let us not be found amongst the foolish.

Sometimes we visit Baba Ephraim.  On his veranda, there is a piece of wall that comes down.  One year when I was there, when I got onto the stoop of the veranda, I bumped my head.  The next year, I went there.  When I got onto the stoop, I bumped my head.  It happened the third time.  It could have been more times.  Isn’t that foolish?  Foolish people don’t learn.  Sometimes the Lord has to tell me, "Don’t you learn?  Haven’t you learned at times to keep your mouth shut?"  It is wise and keeps you from lots of problems in life.  It keeps the peace inside.  Before you know you have spoken what you should not have spoken and you suffer again.  The foolish never learn.

If I cut my hand off, is it going to stay alive?  If you cut off a branch from the tree, will it stay alive?  The foolish think, "If I have problems in the meeting and people say things I don’t like, I can still serve God on my own.  I don’t have to go to meetings to serve God."  The foolish think, "I can cut off my arm and it will still stay alive."  It will die.  Why do the old people here want to be in the meeting, come to convention?  Some cannot take in much here at the convention.  They have the feeling, "I want to stay part of this body.  I want to stay alive."  If you take the branch out of the fire, will it keep on burning?  If you separate yourself from the meetings, don’t expect the heart to stay warm.  It will get cold, and it will die.

Sometimes we see these fly catchers people put up.  It’s a container and there is a hold for the fly to get in.  Inside this container, there is something that smells nice to a fly.  Doesn’t smell nice to us, but it does to a fly.  Can you imagine that fly flying around?  It says, "I am free.  I see the other flies in there who are caught."  You can see inside this container.  This fly, in his thoughts, thinks, "I want something that is inside there.  Nothing is going to stop me.  I am free.  I can do with my life what I want to."  It goes inside.  It is caught, not free anymore.  I have never seen any flies that are inside that want to stay there.  The foolish person said, "I am free to do whatever I want to do in this life, because I am free."  The wise say, "I am free to do the will of God and I am not going to let anybody stop me."  We know that those people are really free.

There was a little dog at the gate.  The gate was closed.  Every day we passed, we saw that this dog wanted to get out because it was looking out every day.  One day I went for a walk in the morning.  I looked inside the neighbours' premises.  There lay the little dog dead.  Somebody went out.  This one thought that if the other one has gone, out I can go out, too.  He never thought about the big dogs who did not like this little dog.  That was the end of the dog.  His freedom was his death.  Don’t let our freedom be our death.

Somebody went to the doctor.  The doctor said to this person, "You have got an incurable disease.  We can’t help you.  You have not got long to live."  That friend said to the doctor, "I am not afraid to die."  Long ago, I started to think about this time.  I started to prepare for this day.  The wise person thinks of the day of death, the fool thinks, "I must make the most of every day."

There was a man in South Africa.  He tried to serve God.  He failed.  He tried again and he failed again.  Up and then down again.  Went on like that for quite a few years.  One day, his son fell out of a building.  He fell on his head, in hospital, unconscious.  The father said, "God, if you will spare my son this time, I will serve you."  I saw that son.  He recovered.  I saw him at the grave of his father.  I thought, "That man we are burying, he owes so much to that boy because he promised to serve God if the Lord would spare that boy.  This time when he started to serve God, he never stopped."  I saw that man on his deathbed.  He was so glad for that time when he started to serve God in spirit and in truth.  Maybe God will send experiences across our way because he wants to renew us, to fulfil his purpose in us.

Can we say today like a new born baby, I have got no past but I have got a future?  We all have a past.  If we can say, "All my hard feelings, it is in the past.  I am not taking any with me in the future.  All my doubts and fears, they are in the past.  I am going into the future.  I want to walk with this One that we are thinking about now who gave His life for me and who spoke words that we should be wise.  We should not be fools.  We should be going out to meet our bridegroom."  There is joy awaiting for the people who get renewed day by day.  I hope that is everyone of us.

Closing hymn, “Till We Meet Again”

August little things

First day of preschool! A little grouchy for pictures

There's a smile! He goes twice a week for two hours. Now that his sisters are in school and he has nobody to play with I know why daily preschool is a thing-- he's so bored! Still trying to figure out what is the best way to spend our time together.

First day of preschool Steak & Shake lunch with Dad! So fun to meet up with him!

For you Mom! The school supplies list. Mom was remembering all the years she checked off school supplies lists... Although our lists never included headphones for an Ipad...

Cheyenne started soccer. She loves it! And it's the perfect time commitment for our family right now. One practice a week, and then 1 game on Saturdays, all five minutes from our house, and it's only 2 months long.

Ben loved Cheyenne's crazy hair one day when she took out her braid

Frank found something somebody left on table...

We've since started keeping all the chairs up on the table all the time. It's sad. For some reason I've started having dreams about beautiful tablescapes and tablecloths...

He is looking so BIG! 15 months. Every morning about 5am, he ends up in our bed and ends the "night" there.

Some other chairs that have had to be retired after he figured out how to do this...

A little frustration he was having trouble with getting over the threshold...

Victory! He found Ben's shaver... which had put there since Frank had confiscated it from the bathroom (which one of the kids must have left open, since we always have to keep it closed). Frank has been so sad to lose the freedom of things he could reach now that we've put these chairs away!

Fun during a downpour

Elder Stallings, one of our missionaries, turned 21 at one of our YSA FHE's (Young Single Adult Family Home Evenings).

Um cutest thing you've ever seen! Zoom in on that face!!

Ben and Frank spend sacrament meeting in the Primary room often, since he's too loud & unruly for the chapel.

I've been working through PowerSheets (check out her video for "Uncovering Meaningful Goals") which is an awesome "grace-filled" goal setting workbook. More on this later...

Love these two!

It is SO WEIRD just have two at home during the day. I haven't had only two at home for four years! It makes a lot of things easier. I'm able to pull out my bike trailer now, and I've taken these two for a couple of rides to get my exercise in.

Ben's latest project-- he's going to make Ephraim a working electronic mini tractor. This is the beginning of the prototype made out of wood and cardboard.

Went to the park with the boys during the day. Trying to think through what is productive and important, and how to spend our days with just these two little ones at home. Lots to think about!

  1. I loved the school supplies list. No we didn't buy headphones for ipads. Ipads didn't exist. We also knew nothing about dry erase markers. That means you grew up in the olden days too. Hope you like it. Mom
