At 8:00 sharp this morning, I waved off 80-some cyclists and their support team as they headed out for day five of the seven-day STIHL Tour des Trees, the signature fundraising event for the organization I head: The TREE Fund. I've spent the past five days with this extraordinary group of individuals, and I'm absolutely blown away by the remarkable experience they've shared with me. They've got three more days of hard riding ahead of them, while I'll be flying up to Troy, New York to serve as keynote speaker for the Committee of 100 Dinner at the Chapel + Cultural Center, where my friend Rick Hartt will be awarded the Sun + Balance Award. While I'm looking forward to visiting with old friends in New York, it's bittersweet to leave the Tour, and I wish all of its participants following winds, smooth pavement, safe rides and fantastic fellowship. They deserve all of that, and more.
I rode about 190 miles with the group, while also participating in a variety of educational and outreach programs in elementary schools, churches, community centers, arboretums, and other points along the route. The sense of camaraderie and care for each and every member of the team was incredible to experience. The STIHL Tour des Trees is truly a rolling community, with each and every member contributing to the best of his or her ability to raise funds for and spread the word about the importance of tree research and education wherever they go. I have worked in the nonprofit sector for a long time, and have planned, directed, implemented and participated in hundreds of fundraising events over the years. This one is, without question, the most impressive one I have experienced, on all fronts. I'm honored and humbled to head the organization that benefits from all of their efforts.
When I ride, I tend to get songs stuck in my head that play over and over again as a way of keeping the pedals turning rhythmically. This ride, the jukebox in my brain often cued up Parliament's "Ride On," a classic funky jam from George Clinton's awesome P-Funk empire, featuring the following lyrics . . .
The line in that song that most stuck out for me on the road, and resonates with me now as I reflect on the experience is "just be for real." The group of folks on the Tour are an exceptionally accomplished lot in their fields of expertise, but they are also some of the most real people I've ever worked with: friendly, forthright, passionate, exuberant, committed and cool. There's no artifice here, and that's refreshing after working for so long in the worlds of development, public relations and marketing, where everybody has an angle, and everyone's on the make. It's awesome to be reminded how fundraising and community building can be accomplished in such a straightforward, straight talking fashion. It's not just keeping it real, it's living it real.
The results of those efforts and attitudes speak for themselves: each rider raised at least $3,500 before participating in the Tour, and an awesome slate of sponsors led by STIHL USA ensured that ride expenses were fully defrayed, so that the funds delivered by the volunteers on wheels are deployed only to empower our research, scholarship and educational programs. The total funding secured between corporate and individual donations is over $600,000 as I type, and contributions are still coming in. (Want to add to the take? Go here and do it soon!).
While this funding is obviously important to us, the outreach and educational opportunities afforded by the Tour are equally significant, as our riders and Team will reach millions of people via print, broadcast and social media coverage, and thousands of people "up close and personal" as they roll through towns, plant trees, visit schools, and remind people how important trees are to our lives — and how much hard science, detailed planning and rigorous work goes into keeping them healthy. I am certain that there are numerous future tree care professionals out there who will cite an encounter with the STIHL Tour des Trees as the spark that first ignited their life's passion.
I could go on an on, but suffice to say that the STIHL Tour des Trees is a transformative experience — which is why so many folks come back and do it year after year after year. (The most experienced rider this year has completed 19 Tours). Next October, we'll be biking over 500 miles through my native turf in the Carolinas, and I look forward to being with the group for the entire week. Would you care to join us? If you're reading this, you know where to find me, and I'll be happy to help you get signed up. I guarantee you'll have a life-changing experience among a great group of people in support of a great cause — and what better way could anyone ever ask to spend a week than that?

Little 'rockstar' Alex doing well ahead of cord blood transplant for Hunter's Syndrome
Alex's parents have moved heaven and earth to give their son a chance to beat the rare life-limiting condition he was born with.
We will most likely lose our beloved little Alex while he is still young. The typical life expectancy for those with Hunter Syndrome is between 10 and 20 years. He is already 4 and a half……I can't stomach the thought of how quickly his life is going by…of how little he has left.
Crystal, Alex's Mum
What is Hunter's Syndrome?
Hunter's Syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), is a rare genetic condition in which large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (AKA GAGs, or mucopolysaccharides) build up in body tissues. Hunter syndrome causes abnormalities in many organs, including the skeleton, heart, and respiratory system. In severe cases, this leads to death during the teenage years.
Is there a cure for Hunter's Syndrome?
Until recently, there was no effective therapy for MPS II. Because of this, palliative care was used.
But recent advances have led to medications which can improve survival and well-being in people with MPS II. These include enzyme replacement therapy, which has been proven to improve many signs and symptoms of MPS II. However, this treatment is not expected to lead to cognitive improvement in patients with severe central nervous system symptoms.[1]
Cord blood stem cell transplantation
Bone marrow transplantation and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have also been trialled for the treatment of MPS II. Cord blood stem cell transplantation has shown particular promise in the treatment of other MPS disorders, leading doctors and parents of young patients to describe it as "our first choice" of therapy.
Doctors decide cord blood is Alex's best option
Alexander's parents and doctors have decided that a stem cell transplant is the best option. If successful, a cord blood transplant will allow Alex to produce the missing enzyme on his own.
"He would no longer need to get weekly enzyme replacement therapy." Writes mum, Crystal, "Not only would that save him from having to be in the hospital one day, all day, each and every week. But it would allow his body a steady level of enzyme to break down the mucopolysaccharides 24/7 which the synthetic enzyme can't do (each day after enzyme replacement therapy there is less and less enzyme in the body). This could mean a higher quality of life for Alex, as well as a longer life!!"
Help Alex enjoy a long healthy life
Meeting the cost of travel and recuperation is a challenge for Alex's family, who live a long distance away from his therapy centre in Minnesota. Alex needs his parents with him, so the family are raising money via his Go Fund Me page. You can help support Alex here.
In her most recent update, Crystal writes, "Thank you, everyone, for your love and support! We have been here in Minnesota for almost two weeks. Alex has had a large number of appointments including an overnight hospital stay last week. He has two new accessories, a tube and central line. Both required as prep for the transplant. He is doing well overall and handling everything like the rockstar he is."
Store your child's cord blood for treatments like Alex's
Cord blood isn't just a life-saver for children suffering from Hunter's Syndrome. The cells that are left in your baby's cord blood after birth can treat leukaemia, lymphoma, diabetes and other conditions of the blood and immune system.
Start the process today

REVIEW: TOROS & TORSOS by Craig McDonald
Synopsis: Toros & Torsos covers a string of murders stretching over more than two decades: 1935, the Florida Keys: Crime writer Hector Lassiter is caught up in the devastation of the great Labor Day hurricane that killed hundreds. Concurrently, a string of murders occur in which the corpses are posed in the manner of surrealist paintings. The murders get too close to Hector and he is devastated. 1937, Spain: In the midst of the Spanish Civil War, Lassiter takes a lover, an artist who has a connection to the surrealist murders in Key West. Lassiter is also denounced as a spy. A close-up-and-personal brush with the Secret Police prompts Lassiter and his long-time friend Ernest Hemingway to take drastic action after they learn similar surrealist murders have been taking place in Spain. 1947, Hollywood: Lassiter and Hemingway are on the outs after the events in Spain. Lassiter encounters a sinister, decadent group of surrealist artists, one of whom is father to one of the Key West murder victims. Between bouts of screenwriting, Lassiter is also babysitting Hollywood's enfant terrible, Orson Welles. 1959, Cuba: Ghosts rise up to haunt both Hector and Hemingway.
Review: Well. Sometimes you can finish a book, have a lot of great things to say about it and at the same time feel completely inadequate to the task of articulating it all. That's me. That's this book. I've spent three days trying to write a coherent review that encompasses the scope, depth, style, and intrigue of this book. I can't do it, I haven't the skill or talent. Hell, I'm not even sure I've really got my head around the whole story yet. The scope of the book covers more than just a lot of time: Natural disaster, art, politics, espionage, friendship, betrayal, murder, vice, psychology. If a picture says a thousand words, then this book trailer says it all for me:
So instead of a genuine review or analysis of this book, let me say a few things:
First, disabuse yourself of the notion that this book might be a straightforward PI or police investigation. Uh uh. This is the rare book that exceeds and expands its genre while also succeeding in it. If you prefer pure escapist reading that demands nothing from you, the reader, skip this book. But if you like a book that places demands on you, not unreasonable demands but the kind of challenges that stir you up, pique your interest, and make you turn to Google time and again (to investigate Spanish torture cells, surrealist art, the Labor Day hurricane of 1935, Franco, FDR, Andre Breton, a game called 'Exquisite Corpse,' the Minotaur, Jonathan Latimer [of whom I had never heard but now have added to my 'must read' list]), the kind of book that weaves art, history, biography, and action together, then read this book. For my friends whose tastes run strictly to the likes of Janet Evanovich and James Patterson, I don't recommend this book. But for those who, like me, enjoy James M. Cain, Dashiell Hammett, Ken Bruen, James Lee Burke, I would recommend this book wholeheartedly. If this book is not a nominee for most of the crime fiction awards next year, then you know the fix is in. You will not read a crime fiction novel anything like this one in the next year, and you'll read damn few that are as good. John Banville could take a lesson in how to be both literary and two-fisted.
If in this age of political correctness you've been inundated with but not overwhelmed by the strong heroine capable of kicking ass without smearing her mascara, if you've been longing for a femme fatale with emphasis on the femme while the fatale is original and horrifying, then this is a must read for you. If you like your protagonists tough, smart, hard-drinking and just cold-blooded enough to commit murder, this book should be in your hands right now. McDonald doesn't cater to political correctness and why should he? Neither the term nor the attitude existed during the time period of this book. (And I can just hear Hemingway saying 'Kee - rist!' should someone explain it to him.) And don't confuse a lack of PC with misogyny. The author makes a clear distinction between the two.
McDonald does a masterful job of incorporating historical figures with his fictional characters. The words coming out of Orson Welles' mouth sound like Orson Welles, no kidding. Hemingway is precisely as I had always pictured him, warts and all. Hector Lassiter is enough like Hemingway that it's easy to buy into their friendship but enough unlike Hemingway, in the important ways, that it's also easy to buy into their falling out. Not content with overlapping his fictional creations with historical figures, McDonald weaves into the tale fictional characters that are not of his own creation. Case in point: A dinner guest mentions that she is reading a western novel by Holly Martens. Just in case that name doesn't ring a bell with you, Holly Martens was the name of the character, a writer of westerns, that Joseph Cotten played in The Third Man. And who starred in that film with Cotten? Orson Welles. But Orson Welles appears as himself in this story. Are you starting to get the idea that this book may be a little ... surreal?
In fact, the section of the book that occurs in Spain has the dark, angular, twisty feel of 'The Third Man,' as Lassiter, for all his nous, is sometimes naive about the people he most cares for, just in the way that Holly Martens was unaware of the true character of his good friend Harry Lime. Everything in this story's Madrid is all light and shadow and everyone has the truly skewed perspective of the surrealists. If there were to be a soundtrack to this section of the book no doubt it would be that relentless zither used in The Third Man.
In the Hollywood section, the music in the background constantly echoes the events and emotions. Appropriately, the author created a soundtrack to the reader's mental film of Hector's story. Welles is creating his surrealistic fun house for the climactic scene in The Lady From Shanghai. As Lassiter becomes a threat to the surrealist clique, they move to place him in check by framing Welles for murder. And when the House Un-American Activities Committee starts to take an interest, everyone gets nervous. John Huston comes across, not necessarily as incestuous, but in every other way as despicable as the character he portrayed in Chinatown.
The narrative wraps around itself in the impossible manner of a Mobius strip, or perhaps an Escher drawing, returning time and again to surrealism, the works of art and also the practical application (perhaps I should say the physical manifestation) of the surreal philosophy, e.g. the torture cells that were based on surreal art, murders, misogyny and general debauchery. I don't know whether the author's aim was to shred the philosophy and art of the surrealists, but I thought that was certainly one of the end results of this story. I used to enjoy working my way through the visuals of a Salvador Dali or a Rene Magritte painting but I will never again be able to view their work with as much detachment. Or that of any other surrealist. And if I never see another photo by Man Ray, that's okay by me.
But I'll be first in line to buy the next Craig McDonald book.
Labels: Craig McDonald, Crime Fiction, Review
Corey, this is, far and away, the most rewarding piece on my novel I've seen. It's insightful, sharp and knowing, and it goes to the heart of everything I was aiming for in this book. You even caught me in my own small surreal games ala Holly from THE THIRD MAN (a Top 5 favorite film). Every author dreams of a reader who'll meet their material on its own terms as you have done here. But to then make the writer see his own work in fresh light, as you've done for me with your appraisal...? Well, that's a very rare talent, indeed. Thank you so much for the effort and this great piece of analysis. I'm truly bowled over.
Corey Wilde October 13, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Thanks for stopping by, sir. And thanks even more for the great story. And allow me to congratulate you on the new book deal. I'm glad I'm not alone in my appreciation of your work.
Again, thanks so much for your insight and effort. Would you shoot me a note directly and offline at mcdonaldent@earthlink.net?
Jen Forbus October 13, 2008 at 7:05 PM
I think you did a pretty darn good job of doing the book justice! All I can say is "wow"!
Jen, I didn't and that's a fact.
There's still a lot to be said for and about this book, e.g. about Lassiter's interior landscape, sometimes surreal and sometimes Romantic. About the way Hemingway's bio is covered factually but how the facts become a fictional thread throughout the story. And I failed to mention the impact of the ending, but I hate to read and write spoilers and I can't think how otherwise I would have been able to depict the sadness, the eeriness, and the inevitability of the ending, and how completely apt it was, yet not at all predictable. And there's the theme of two-faced (or maybe Cubist) women that I didn't get to cover (because I haven't completely thought that through). And did I mention how adroitly the famed Black Dahlia murder gets entwined? There's just so much at work here, but there's never any hint of artistic pretentiousness in the writing, the prose is genuine, very masculine, no preening. Hemingway would approve, except for those passages in which he does not appear in Divine Light of course.
REVIEW: TRIGGER CITY by Sean Chercover
REVIEW: THE DRAINING LAKE by Arnaldur Indridason


Matthew 18:12-14"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
Now imagine losing your child in an amusement park. The Panic and Fear that would race through your body. The thought of something horrible happening to them is enough to make you sick. What would you do? How would you react in that situation?
Your child is missing .. you go to the security office and while searching the images from the cameras, you spot your child .. He's walking around in circles. He's scared and crying, not sure where to turn or who to ask for help. It would probably feel like an eternity, but picture that moment when you run through the crowed and scoop your child into your arms. Imagine the tears of joy as you hold him close. In that moment everything would be complete and back to its place. The appreciation for what once was lost, now is found. I'm sure you would get on your phone and start sharing the news with the rest of your worried family.. they too would shout and rejoice like the angels in Heaven.
This to me is the same image of a child of God. Walking Around lost, not sure where or who to turn to.
God wants us to be as close to him as possible. There seems to always be that one kid .. he's a little stubborn at times, maybe he's impatient and runs up ahead. Or maybe he's easily distracted and lags behind, before he knows it he's lost. One way or another I'm sure we have moments where we can easily relate to this parent but even more so, to the child. I am guilty of wanting to run ahead of God's plan and I'm most definitely guilty of lagging behind, getting caught up in the noise of life. Iv definitely listened to the voice of fear one too many times in my life. The important thing to remember is that God doesn't panic, he doesn't fear, He knows exactly what he's doing. His love and patience is relentless. He's already in the security office! He sees all and He will not give up! Scripture says he loved us before time and he will continue to love us till the end.
He will however use our vulnerable moments in life to reach out! Remember the Shepard is out to save that one sheep not leave him behind. All that is needed from us is to respond. Look up and Jump into His Loving arms.
1 Peter 2:25 For "you were like sheep going astray," but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
A Mountain In My Way!
He is not going to move the mountain, if it will get in the way of something he has planned for the future.
Let's face it, we have such a hard time with patience, we try to move that mountain on our own. We push and shove and wonder why our backs hurt, we complain about the pain. ..why is this so hard?
Does this sound like anything you've said before? Maybe you are saying it right now! Honestly, we have no idea what that mountain is keeping us from. Do we ever consider what is on the other side? What is it protecting us from? Maybe whatever is on the other side of the mountain is just not ready yet. The path is still getting cleared.
We have no idea what will happen within this waiting time, my guess is with God..big things, growth, opportunity, possibly a chance for redirection???
Sometimes the only thing needed in times like this is to surrender. I know it sounds weak, it sounds like giving up, as if you are doing nothing at all. Think of it as this, it's letting go of a tug of war that you were never meant to enter. So many of us are still trying to face our struggles on our own. When All we see is the problem that's IN THE WAY, we are missing out on Important keys to his process…. His Way.
There is still much so do within a waiting time. Quit looking at the mountain and look around. God may be using this mountain to use you, in someone else's mountain moment.
Let's ask ourselves this, do I believe God loves me? Do I believe God can move the mountains within my life? If so, then maybe we just need to Trust that! Trust that if this mountain isn't budging it's for a darn good reason! Consider this, Just maybe it's not the mountain that God is planning on moving? Maybe He's going to do a move within you.
Don't be so quick to think God is not working fast enough. Use this time to talk with Him, to receive His peace. What happens when one side of the tug of war let's go? The other side falls back. Think about that release, every time you are tempted to take this burden back into your own hands.
My God is Capable, My God is Powerful, My God is Loving, My God is All Knowing!
My God has Got This! My God has Me!
I pray that today whatever the struggle is, however big or small, I pray that you let it go. Quit pushing, quit pulling. I pray that You receive God's peace and comfort. Remember He loves you. He cares for you and your loved ones. I pray that when you lift your eyes to the mountain, you remember where your help comes from.
I pray that you remember how precious His timing is and that it IS Perfect.
In The Name of JESUS I Pray… Amen and Amen.
The disciples were focused on the cause of this mans blindness, in other words, who's fault was it? Jesus pointed out that this mans purpose was not to display the disability but instead, it was to show What God could do with it!
"The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.
know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
HIS purpose is Perfect! His Glory will shine out of the darkness!
Write this on your heart and in your mind! the next time you are faced with a difficult situation. Instead of playing the blame game or asking why, ask WHAT? What Will God Do with This!
Instead of staring down the struggle, stand face to Face with our Lord, His Glory shines. Fill your eyes with Faith and let His light be on display for All to see!
Where are you today? How are you holding up? I know your tired of trying. Heck, I know you're just about done with trying.
Are you having a hard time with letting resentment go, maybe it's just gone on so long that you wouldn't even know where to start. Maybe you're not sure you even want it to be fixed at this point. Does it even matter anymore? You've been hurt and disappointed one too many times. The pain is overwhelming and too much to bear.
Today I want you to Rest In The Love that God has given you. I want you to wrap yourself within His Security. You are Cherished, you are Cared For and you are Not Alone. No matter what, you have a God who is for you and believe me He knows. He knows ALL sides of the situation!
Today I don't want you to hold onto your strength. I want you to Lean on His!
I don't want you to try.
I want you to surrender.
You have nothing left, that's ok!
I don't want you to give what you have , I want you to Give all that is His!
He Has Plenty for the both of you!!
The love of Christ is Enough for You And the person on the other side of this situation.
Don't let this struggle let you forget that!
God gave You His Love When you didn't deserve it, in this case it might be a good time to ask, am I letting this hurt withhold God's given Love?
Am I withholding love because I am hurting? Am I holding back because I feel this person is undeserving?
Words were spoken and they can't be taken back. This is true but the words that we choose from this point on can Bring Life.
Please Know, That Releasing Love is exactly what Will Breath the Life back to this relationship.
God's Love IS the very thing that will Heal the hurt. But you Have to Release IT!
This Love does not belong to you, It IS GOD's LOVE! It's meant to be consumed and absorbed but it was never meant to be withheld.
give His Plan a chance to work. Let His strength steady you, let His Joy Rise within, Let His Forgiveness rein in your body. Let His Love overcome!!
Let His WILL be done. Let the fight continue, but remember, let it be on HIS terms not your own.
There is Power in a Forgiving Heart, There is Healing within a New Start.
I know your tired, I know your limitations are being taunted with ways of escape, an easy way out!
I challenge you to Ask God to stretch your Faith.
I challenge you to look through God's eyes, far beyond the boundaries, far beyond what you THINK you can handle.
So you're done trying, ok good, finally!
Hang in there, this fight is not over!
Take One moment at a time, but within these moments let's choose to BUILD instead of breakdown!
Let's choose to INJECT LIFE into the situation instead of Burying it Alive!
Turn to The Lord for your peace and calm, go to His word for wisdom, and take it as Truth! Believe it! It's not always going to line up with how you're feeling, let truth override those feelings. Apply it, Let it be His Action that takes place, not the action that your flesh desires.
So Go ahead, Give Up! Give IT to God!
Let it be His Holy Presence, His Mighty Power, that surrounds and takes Charge of your Life today!
I am struggling today. I'm hurting and I need you. Help me to lean on you, help me to receive your peace and calm. Lord please remind me of your presence in my relationships. Help me to turn to you when I am tempted to lash out. Release your love and override my pain. Most of all Lord Help me to reflect your love even when I am hurting. Thank you for never leaving me and for always loving me.
Today when we get tomatoes from the grocery store they are often hard and pale in color, the taste can be very sour. It's because the tomatoes are rushed! They pick them before their time, just so they can withstand the travel to keep up with the Demand. It's a quick fast world that teaches we can get what we want when we want it, just not necessarily high quality. We mass produce a bunch of undesirable junk, just so we can say it's here for the taking. The tomatoes we get in the store will do in a pinch but they are nothing like fresh garden tomatoes, delicious red and juicy! Definitely well worth the wait!
You can't rush or force spiritual fruit either, you'll end up with a bunch of hard hearted sour Christians that leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. It's like the church saying hey we have Christians here and plenty of them! In reality if rushed or forced they don't do any good for the Kingdom. They are not spiritually ready themselves, let alone ready to disciple those who are hungry for God.
The true message and purpose gets a pass all together …nope don't want any of that! The church is not a place of mass production. It's a place of healing a place of development. If we would look at it as a "fruit market", I'd say that we would want to make sure that the fruit that we send out into this world ideally, would be ripe and ready. Meaning that patience is a virtue. This fruit needs to be fertilized with Grace and Truth, with Kindness. With the Love and Compassion of Christ, Hand picked with His Gentleness and Sent out with Joy! That is what we should instill in our Brothers and Sisters, after all we need them if we want The Body to function as a unit.
Don't forget to self check! Instead of focusing on what everyone else may or may not be doing right or wrong ask, what kind of fruit am I producing? What am I feeding to my fellow brothers and sisters? Especially those who are still hard and sour. Are we giving bitterness back or are we counteracting the negative by allowing the Holy Spirit to truly guid us. We need to remember the True Gardener and follow by his example. If a tree is not producing the desirable fruit then this is the evidence that the tree needs tended to. Don't be too quick to cut it down. Dig around it, put some work into it.
Let's not forget where good fruit comes from. It is ultimately from the workings of the Holy Spirit. It's His stamp it's the evidence of who we belong to.
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
You can not force someone to have a relationship with The Lord. That's just not how it works, it's not how He would want it. But we can be sure to stay focused on Christ, read his word and make sure that the fruit that we are producing is of Him, so we can be better mentors. Get to know one another, reflect, encourage, and support through this walk. We can make sure that our own lives are being led by The Holy Spirit, allowing God to use us as his gardening tool. In other words, don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and put a little work in as well.
This is not to dismiss or condone a life of unfruitfulness. This is a reflection on patience, humility and forbearance when it comes to our brothers and sisters. It's important not to forget that it took a little time for some of us to go through our process. We are all still growing and refining in our daily walk with Christ.
May you hear the sound of His sweet voice. Let his love fill and overflow. Allow it to pour out onto others with no restraint. God Bless This Walk, In The Name of Jesus Christ.
51"What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him.
It is the same with John 5:1-9 but the message goes just a bit further.
Jesus wanted to know if the men had Faith and also if they were ready for the next step. He could have just walked up and healed them easy peasy. But He made this About Faith In Action, meaning that they had a responsibility on their part. JESUS desires a two way relationship.
When we call out to Him and Ask Him to change our circumstances, He's Going To Do it, In one way or another. The question is Are We Ready, Is This What We Want?
First Do We Believe He can Do it ! Second Do We Want It? Do we want Him? It's not a one and done. He wants to continue on within our lives. He doesn't walk away after the healing. When JESUS died for our sins he rose from the dead to LIFE! By His wounds we are healed! From transgression to transformation we rise to life! ….we walk!
The blind man didn't gain sight and go home. He certainly didn't go back carrying on as he did when he was blind. He Followed JESUS! The Other Man got Up and Walked! He didn't straighten out his mat and lay back down. He didn't say thank you …I'm sure these legs will come in handy someday .. no he got up and walked! Both men were healed and they chose to do something with their new beginning.
When He Works IN US He Does it BIG.
What Do You Want Him To Do With You?
The Answer is The Showing of Your Faith!
Will it Be to See as He Sees?
To Forgive as He Forgives?
To Love as He Loves?
To Walk as He Walks?
What ever it is, just like the men, KNOW that God Can! Then understand that Christ wants you to take it on the road and use it to Follow Him! Whatever Blessing you receive, Use it to show others Who He IS.
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
How long have you been in this condition?
Open your eyes and receive!
Thank you for All that you Are! Help me to put my trust and Faith in your abilities. I want to receive the gifts and opportunities that you have planned for my life. Remove all the fear, and negative clutter that is keeping me from getting up and taking my first step. I look forward with new eyes! Help me to remember when My foot slips or when I get knocked down you are right there to help and support as we walk together. Help me to listen to your voice telling me to Get Up!
turn down the volume of the world & TURN UP THE VOICE OF GOD!
The scripture says draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
What happens when we forget about His Word? What happens when we neglect our relationship with God? What happens when we draw closer to The world and we set The Word aside?
First off, we are not loved any less, let me just say that! But….
we are hampering ourselves. We set ourselves up to be played by the enemy and we become a disservice to God's mission.
When we keep ourselves away from that truth, we allow ourselves to conform to the things going on around us. The world rings louder and louder. We forget the part about His Way and we start looking at other ways.
The world has plenty of opportunities or distractions to fill our own desires.
Little by little we ignore our discernment. We begin to put false gods in our sights, working towards goals to accomplish the desires of the world. We end up falling for the patterns of deception. In turn, we are tricked into building an earthbound kingdom. Some of the materials used for a kingdom such as this are doubt, worry, fear, stress, bitterness, anger, jealousy and pride. Pretty much all the things that consume us. Not only does this keep us from receiving God's Best, it keeps us from being productive Warriors for God.
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Deception is not ugly, it's pleasing, it seems right in our own sight.
But we know that satan hides behind light. He prowls around looking for someone to devour and what better prey, what better target, than Someone who is left unarmed?
When we are away from the truth it's much much easier to fall for the half truth, which by the way, is a full on lie. Guys these lies are soothing, they tickle the ears in a way that justifies the half truth.
If we have lost our ability to tell the difference between The Lord's voice and the god of this worlds voice, then we might as well have never known the truth in the first place.
We have A Present God, The Holy Spirit Has been Given. He guides and leads us along God's path.
We can be in the world, raising our families, working and living life but we must be careful not to be of the world.
Don't let it distract you from your role within the Body of Jesus Christ. Don't forget Who you belong to, you Are a member of a UNIT and without your presence it doesn't function to the full potential. No matter what you are involved in, no matter where you are, there is always an opportunity to reflect and project the voice of God. That means we need to turn down the volume of the world and Turn Up The Voice of God.
1 John 4:1 talks about not believing every spirit, it says test the spirits, so we know if they are from God.
You see, the enemy has a voice and he also has spirits.
The way we test the spirits are to measure them with The Word Of God. If it doesn't match, then it's a deception. We know that people make mistakes, we have a loving forgiving Father, but if we continue to cover our spiritual ears, we disregard His guidance. We are then the ones who hurt ourselves and the people who we could potentially be of service to.
There is no one that can be hidden from God. Not even in the darkest of times. Still we tend to push Him away when we are in the dark, We trip over what we do not know and often end up dragging others along with us .. blind leading the blind.
Get Into The Word, read what God has given. Weave it within your life. This will be what keeps you equipped to live in this world as a Follower of Christ.
1 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
They Forsake their Own Faithfulness!
It's a choice we make and we need to take responsibility for that.
Not something we want to forsake.
When Faith is brought to the table Miracles happen! We need to watch out for who and what we put our faith in.
Tap into that discernment, listen for the Voice of The Lord to guide. If it does not match with God's Word then we need to adjust the volume and Seek God's counsel.

Q: What would be the 1990s equivalent of Wizard's currency to then-U.K. currency? For instance, how many US dollars or Pounds Sterling would one Galleon be worth?
Considering they are actual gold they should be fairly expensive, but is there some standardized exchange rate?

A: We know that there is an exchange rate; at the start of Chamber of Secrets, Hermione's parents are exchanging muggle money for wizarding money at Gringotts in Diagon Alley.

'But you're Muggles!' said Mr. Weasley delightedly. 'We must have a drink! What's that you've got there? Oh, you're changing Muggle money. Molly, look!' He pointed excitedly at the ten-pound notes in Mr. Granger's hand.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
JK Rowling has said that the exchange rate at the time was around £5 to the Galleon.

Rebecca Boswell - What is the approximate value of a galleon?
  JK Rowling - About five pounds, though the exchange rate varies!

Comic Relief live chat transcript, March 2001. (http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2001/0301-comicrelief-staff.htm)
Now, gold bullion prices in March 2001 were around £5.84 to the gram (https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/gold-price/30-year-gold-price-history-pound-gram) - that means if a Galleon is solid gold, it should weigh less than a gram and be less than a twentieth of a cubic centimetre in size to remain consistent. Presumably they are instead some kind of gold coloured alloy, or Mr and Mrs Granger could easily become the richest dentists in Britain!

Ukraine famine recognised as genocide
Published time: 28 Nov, 2006 06:13 Edited time: 28 Nov, 2006 09:13
The Ukrainian Parliament has adopted a bill recognising the 1932 to 1933 forced famine as genocide against the Ukrainians . The famine, known as Holodomor or Death by Hunger, was orchestrated by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
It has killed up to10 million Ukrainians – almost one-third of its population.
The UN's definition of genocide is an act of deliberate and systematic destruction of cultural, political or rational groups' destruction. Yulia Tymoshenko's block and Viktor Yushenko, the President of Ukraine, wanted to place the definition of genocide into law, because they are sure that Stalin's regime was particularly against the Ukraine nation.
However the Party of Regions did not want to include the term genocide, because they said that other nationalities suffered in the Famine as well, including Russians, Kazakhs, Poles and other nationalities living in the territory of Ukraine. The bill was passed in the third version. It is the presidential version with slide amendments made by Alexandr Moroz. The wording of the bill says that the famine is recognised as an act against the people of Ukraine, not against the nation of Ukrainians, as it was in the first, initial version.

Q: SQL Server - Replace money numbers with text I need to replace a money number with text. For example if it were 66.35 it would be displayed as 66 dollars and 35 cents.
This is what I got to display but I don't know how to replace the decimal with the word dollars.
SELECT Freight, CAST(Freight AS varchar) + ' cents' AS Expr1
FROM dbo.Orders

http://i.imgur.com/8Oe9omn.png

A: You can separate the parts before and after decimal, cast each as varchar and then add in the text, like so:
SELECT Freight,
cast(cast(floor(Freight) as decimal(2,0)) as varchar) + ' dollars and ' + cast(cast(100*(Freight - floor(Freight)) as decimal (2,0))as varchar) + ' cents'
FROM dbo.Orders

->back to list of interviews
interviewed by "Grave Concerns E-Zine"
Interviewer: Marcos Massarri
This band was born of several bands in the mid 90's. A collective of members raised on a culmination of punk aggression, early Gothic sensibility and Death Rock driven passions. From it's inception singer / songwriter Arron has pushed Second Skin to the limits with it's hard rhythmic beats and dark backdrops that sometimes paint a vivid picture of the world inside the heart... and outside the Flesh.
Over the years Second Skin has been heard on over twenty different compilations on over 11 different labels. Most notably "Goth Oddity" a Bowie tribute that included the Second Skin cover of "Let's Dance" as well as the club singles "Sweet Nothing", "Club Sexxx" and "Liberata Me".
The single "Liberata Me" inspired the award winning movie of the same name. A cameo performance of the band can be seen in this dark thriller. Liberata Me also boast the instrumental "Trance" which debut as a hidden track on the bands best selling album "Choir Invisible.
After many national tours, and international reviews and interviews Second Skin moves into a new phase with the much awaited release of "Black Eyed Angel". This two disc CD yields such strong Darkwave songs as "Still My Love", "I the East" and "Voo Doo Doll". Black Eyed Angel is a hard hitting ride with masterful guitar work by Mark Cady, the angelic backing vocals of Lizzy and uncompromising lyrics delivered by Arron in true Second Skin fashion.
2005 will see Second Skin in Europe, we invite you all on the ride -
GC: First off how are all of you? Please introduce the latest line up.
Arron: The newest line up to Second Skin is Arron ( Vocals, bass, programming ) Mark Kitty Cady ( Guitars ) Lizzy ( Backing Vocals ).
GC: After a somewhat mysterious hiatus how did Second Skin get back into the light?
Arron: I wish It were more mysterious... like... we were of doing battle with a rival Vampire clan, or working days @ hot topic and nights @ Starbucks- But alas, Second Skin has been working this whole time but in different mediums. We were in a gothic thriller titled "Liberata Me" after one of our songs. Also I co-stared in a movie called "Children of the Arcana" a sort of Twighlight zone style movie. Both of them earned best short at the New York Film festival. Along the way we have done a number of singles for different compilations. All the while putting together this new album.
GC: Why did you sign up with Italian label Palace of Worms who are known more for their neo medieval and ethereal leanings? (ironically, I did a piece on Guido and can be seen at www.graveconcernsezine.com -M)
Arron: We have had a long standing friend ship with Guido from POW. He heard the new album and was surprised it had been sitting around without a label for the better part of a year... When a German deal fell through he made an offer, and things have worked out better than both of us expected. besides... he pays us in Red wine
GC: "Black Eyed Angel" seems to have a much crisper production value on it than your debut cd from a few years back. Was this new record approached differently than "Choir Invisible" as far as the music aspect was concerned?
Arron: "Black Eyed Angel" was recorded all digital, gave it a more sterile sound... maybe too clean? Also the new album had a more clear cut direction not as experimental.
GC: I feel your strong and electric lyricism has always made Second Skin stand out from the herd. What are your latest views and concerns on the gothic and darkwave music scene?
Arron: My only real concern is the need for people in the scene to cut up everything into sub-genre. Good music is good music. Guitar, no guitar, drums or drum machine... butter or margarine-
GC: What have you yourselves been listening to lately?
Arron: Old school punk Mentors, T.S.O.L, subhumans, gen-X. Also new Laibach, Bowie, And Also the Trees, and Moby.
GC: I read on your site you'll be hitting Europe. Where in particular and where overseas have you gotten the most positive response?
Arron: Italy, Germany and Poland....... Iraq?
GC: Any plans to perform on the East Coast?
Arron: We are in talks to go on the road with Ev-Voto in the Fall. This should get us up east if Europe does not happen first. If all else fails we will head line in our living room.
GC: Are you hoping to pursue more music videos to promote the band?
Arron: We are in the story board phase of another video for the next album which we are about to start recording-
GC: What keeps you all motivated to keep pushing forward?
Arron: Pain killers, coffee, Adult Swim, fire arms, and the love of a good woman.
GC: Something else you'd like to add?
Arron: We are very thankful for all the support over the years and we know "Black Eyed Angel" will be worth your while!

Politicians in the US Congress, including the Republican Senator Rand Paul, have urged President Obama to allow the release 28 pages of classified documents which they believe link Saudi officials with the September 11 terror attacks in 2001.
The documents were part of the 2002 joint House and Senate report "Inquiry into Intelligence Activities Before and After the [9/11] Terror Attacks", 28 pages of which have never been released.
15 of the 19 hijackers who took over four planes, crashing two into the World Trade Centre, on into the Pentagon and one into a field when passengers fought back, came from Saudi Arabia, as did Osama bin Laden. However there have long been suspicions that the Saudi regime itself was involved - which the Saudis deny.
Rand Paul, leading the bipartisan effort to introduce a Senate bill, said in a statement: "I stand with my colleagues today to call for the release of the final 28 pages of the 9/11 congressional inquiry. I firmly believe the family members of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks have the right to know the details surrounding the tragedies that occurred on that sad day."
Paul did not rule out reading the report on the floor of Congress unless the report is released. "We're going to try the normal legislative procedure first," said Rand, "and see how that goes."
In an interview with Al Jazeera, former Florida Senator Bob Graham, who co-chaired the first official enquiry into 9/11, said the US public would be shocked if they were to learn of the extent of Saudi involvement in the worst terrorist attack on US soil, in which almost 3,000 lost their lives and the so-called War on Terror began.
"If the American people knew the full truth, I believe there would be an outrage that a country which alleges to be such an ally of ours has engaged in so many actions that have been so extremely negative towards the United States," said Graham.
Representative Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts said: "this wasn't a mere deletion of a few words but a full-fledged blackout of 28 pages of the report. [It] "may have been a matter of national security to secure pages in 2002 but it is long since time that we made these reports public."
This is not the first time the Saudis have been accused of financing 9/11. However, the Saudis continue to insist they have nothing to hide and have urged the publication of the missing 28 pages to allow them to clear their name.


Sevens is also known as Fan Tan, Dominoes, or Parliament depending on who you ask. Regardless of the name, the goal is to get rid of your cards first in order to win. The only things you need are a deck of cards, some friends, and the ability to put cards in sequential number order.
Deal out an entire deck of cards. Pick one person to be the dealer and have them hand out a deck of 52 playing cards, face-down and one at a time, to each person going clockwise. This game can be played with anywhere from three to eight people.
Depending on the amount of players, the cards may be dealt unequally.
To solve this, switch dealers each round so that everyone has a round with the lowest or highest amount of cards. As long as the dealer switches clockwise and each dealer hands out cards going clockwise, the pattern will repeat fairly.
Arrange your hand in order of suit and numerical order. To help keep yourself focused, organize the hand dealt to you. You want to arrange the cards first by suit, and then in numerical order. It's best to start with any twos on the far left and run them up to the ace on the far right.
A whole run will look like this: 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A.
The four suits are hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. Alternating the colors of the suits in your hand will also make it easier to find cards to play.
Start each round with the seven of diamonds. Whoever has the seven of diamonds lays it down on the table. When a seven of any suit is played it starts a "layout." A layout is made by laying cards down one by one next to the seven in sequential order.
You will have four layouts total, one for each suit.
As the game continues, the only way a suit layout can be started on the table is if someone plays a seven.
Some variations of this game select the person to the left of the dealer to go first, regardless of who has the seven of diamonds.
Organize the layouts on the table. Layouts go horizontally on the table. You can create a grid of 4x13 cards if you put each suit going sideways above one another. Or instead, you can start stacking the rest of the sequence of a suit on top of the 6 and 8 cards to save space.
If you lay the cards vertically within their suits, the game will resemble the solitaire setup.
Take turns putting one card down at a time. Each person puts down one card on their turn, but it has to be the next card in relation to the ones already on the table. For example, the next cards played after a seven will either be the six or the eight in that suit.
Going in order from the seven means you will play cards that descend to the two card of that suit on the left-hand side of the seven and on the right-hand side, the card values will ascend to the ace.
For example, if you have a jack of hearts, you can't play that card until someone has played the ten of hearts on the table.
You can only put cards of the same suit together. If a seven of hearts is on the table, you can only play a six of hearts next to it, not a six of spades.
"Knock" when you cannot play any cards. Knocking the table is one way to say that you are passing on your turn. Or instead, you can just say "pass." You may pass when you don't have any cards that are playable. For instance, if there are only fives through nines on the table and all you have left are twos and face cards.
It is against the rules to pass on a turn if you have a card that can be played anywhere on the table.
If playing with poker chips, one penalty you can use is that if someone passes when they had cards to play, they have to put three chips in the pot.
Continue playing until someone runs out of cards. Go around the table, each putting one card down, until someone plays their last card. They are the winner of that round, and if you're only playing one round then they are the winner of the game. Collect all 52 of the cards and start a new round or game.
You can play several rounds within one game to play longer or just play a quick game while killing time.
You have several options for choosing the next dealer. One option is that the person to the left of the original dealer is now the new dealer.
The other option is to have the winner deal the cards, or the person to the left of them. All that matters is that each person gets a chance to deal the cards.
Hold on to your sevens, sixes, and eights as long as possible. If you decide not to play these cards, it will keep other players from being able to get rid of their own cards. No one can play their low or high cards out of sequence so you have the power to stall the game and increase your chances of winning.
Of course, if these numbers are your only playable cards, you can't pass but have to play them.
Use poker chips to raise the stakes. When the game starts, each player puts a chip into the pot. The people with the least amount of cards in their hand put an extra chip in the pot to even the playing field. Every time someone passes, they have to add a chip to the pot. The winner of the round or game gets the whole pot.
Use tokens, pennies, or even candy instead of chips.
You can attribute money to the chips for real gambling or not, if you choose.
Allow people to play more than one card. To speed up the game, scrap the rule that says you can only lay down one card at a time. For example, if you have a four, three, and two of spades, you would be allowed to lay down all three as a run.
This variation only applies to one suit at a time. You can't lay down an eight of hearts, nine of hearts, and ten of diamonds.
Even if you have numerical ordering, the cards have to be in the same suit to lay them down as a run in one turn.
Keep track of how many cards you have left for scoring. After someone gets rid of their cards, use a piece of paper or notebook to log how many cards each player has left. Each card equals 1 point. Start a new round, and keep track at the end of each. Once someone reaches 100 points, the game is then over and the winner is whoever has the smallest score.
For shorter games, only go to 50 or 25 points, depending on how much time you have.
Use the Ace as the lowest card instead of a two. Some people order the cards starting with the ace, and going up from the two to the king as the highest card. This will only slightly change the order of the layout. On the left side of the two you will lay cards out to the two instead of the ace and on the right side the run will end at the king.
What happens when I can't play the board? Do I take a card from another player?
You take one card from the person to the left, but that player gets to choose which card.
Why can't I fake a pass if I have playable cards?
You can fake a pass, but it will hold up the game play. No one else will be able to play their cards if you're holding onto your own. For example, if you have the six of hearts, no one will be able to play a five of hearts or anything lower until you play. Depending on who you are playing with, they may make it a rule that you cannot fake a pass.
Have you ever played with a joker as a wild card?
Yes. When used it creates a "dead" card that counts against you if you end up with it. The dead card gets passed often.
The easiest way to keep track of points is to count each card as one point. Since some people may only have one or two cards left and someone else may have almost a full hand, keep it simple. One card is equal to one point once the round has finished.
Are these instructions simple enough for middle school children to understand?
Yes, very clear and simple instructions and good diagrams. I'm planning to teach my seven-year-old nephew.
Can I play with 2 decks if you have 8 people?
It depends on who you're playing with. The rules for the ace are not set in stone. Some people play it as being lower than a two and some people use it as the highest card value. It's up to how you want to use it.
What happens when I run out of cards?
You win when you run out of cards. That's the object. Other players count their cards and the round is over.
Is there a last card call out rule?
How many people can play Sevens the card game at once?
Can I call bonzie when playing Sevens?
If I have a playable card, do I have to play it when playing Sevens?
To play the card game Sevens, start by dealing out an entire deck of cards to between 3 and 8 people. Then, have everyone arrange their cards in order of suit and numerical order, and have the player with the seven of diamonds lay it down on the table. Next, take turns playing one card at a time. You can either play the next card up or down in a sequence, or a seven to start a new pile. Keep playing until one player runs out of cards and wins!

Evening news round-up for Monday 28/11/16 by 337hammer.
Slaven Bilic wants more confidence from West Ham after draw.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic was pleased with his side's performance in a 1-1 draw at Manchester United but chided his players for appearing "afraid" after taking the lead. "I am very pleased with the performance for the point," Bilic said.
"The only thing I didn't like, and I said it at half-time, is when you score a goal you should be more confident than before you score. That is kind of natural but the mentality is you are afraid after you score at Old Trafford. "From our goal to their equaliser we lost 11 or 12 balls unnecessarily when we could exploit that. So in the first half they were better than us. "At half-time we told the players and the way we played second half was really good, if not great, so I have to praise the players. espn.co.uk
Slaven Bilic confident the tide is turning.
West Ham added to the mounting problems facing Jose Mourinho and provided more belief Slaven Bilic will steer them away from relegation trouble. West Ham frustrated United and, after their heartbreaking last-gasp defeat at Tottenham, this performance shows they should start to climb the table.
"It is a difficult season," he said. "I am not trying to avoid saying that but even after Spurs, when we lost the game in the way we did, I was positive because it hurts but you have something to build on. I am not happy with the position but recently there have been good performances from us. It is only a matter of time when we get the points." Bilic must decide whether to make changes to his team for the EFL Cup fixture on Wednesday night, with Arsenal coming to the London Stadium on Saturday. He knows a win could build more momentum. standard.co.uk
Ogbonna – Concentration was key.
Hammers defender Angelo Ogbonna believes his side's concentration in defence helped the visitors earn a vital point against Manchester United on Sunday in the Premier League. The visitors battled hard to ensure they returned to east London with a draw in the bag. Ogbonna's marvellous defensive display, which included a number of important blocks and last-ditch tackles, contributed to the result and the Italian was left thrilled at the final whistle.
He said: "I think it is a really crucial point for us. We had a really good game and a good performance and it was so important for us because we were so disappointed about the last match. "It was great to put a good performance in. We were so concentrated at the back and maybe this is why this game is a great moment. "In the table, we are not great at the moment but we have to take it step-by-step and focus each time for every game." "At the end of the game, it's a draw and we keep this point and we have to look forward and get back here on Wednesday. "It's important for the first match to draw and it's a really good point for us." whufc.com
Ex-West Ham player full of praise for former club after draw.
Speaking in BBC's Match of the Day 2, former Hammers star Trevor Sinclair explained West Ham fans will be pleased with a point against Manchester united.
"Good point, good performance. It was a great reaction from the players after getting beaten by Tottenham last week. And if there are two teams who West Ham fans want to do well against it's Tottenham and Manchester United, and they've managed to get something at Old Trafford so they will be pleased about that." hitc.com
West Ham defender praises Fletcher's impact against former club.
Angelo Ogbonna has praised the impact of former Manchester United striker Ashley Fletcher as West Ham earned a draw at Old Trafford on Sunday. Fletcher, who came through the youth ranks at Manchester United before leaving the club in the summer to join the Hammers on a free, came on for Diafra Sakho with 24 minutes to go. The 21-year-old came close to winning the match late on for West Ham, when he worked his way into the box and forced a good save from David de Gea from close range.
"Fletcher came on and was brilliant as well. We need to get our confidence back sometimes, but this is a good way to get it back. "He got chances and maybe if he puts the ball in for us then I'm talking about three points! But it's OK – he's still young and he is a good player. "He can keep the ball and run in behind and he's very good for us that we have a good lot of young players who can improve and help the team and we have to keep our feet on the ground and work hard and take it step-by-step." essexlive.news
From the Boardroom – David Sullivan.
This was always going to be a testing time for the Club with the run of hard games we were facing, but there is no doubt that the team is playing a lot better. Nobody is enjoying looking at the table at the moment but I hope we have now turned a corner. We got off to a perfect start against Manchester United on Sunday and it was unfortunate that we could not hold onto the lead. But I thought the players showed great determination and a fighting spirit to help us come away with a point. It was a real team effort starting with Darren Randolph who once again showed his quality and produced an outstanding display.
There were a number of positives to take from the performance and it was very pleasing to see Diafra Sakho back in action. He showed his quality once again when he opened the scoring after just two minutes and it was really unfortunate that he picked up a hamstring injury during the second half. Diafra will now undergo a scan and although the early signs suggest it will not be a lengthy injury, we will know a lot more when we see the results in the next few days. This is another important week for the Club and a victory on Wednesday would set us up nicely for another big game against Arsenal on Saturday. whufc.com
West Ham PL2 aim for six unbeaten.
West Ham United PL2 will aim to go six games unbeaten in all competitions this evening, when they face Fulham at Craven Cottage (7pm kick-off).
The Hammers are on a good run of form despite being frustrated last Monday when they were held to a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers.
It's the start of a busy week for Terry Wesley's players. Tonight's match is swiftly followed on Thursday with the visit of Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League Cup. The Hammers will be boosted by the news that Martin Samuelsen has returned to the club after his loan spell at Blackburn was cancelled. The young Norwegian has found game time hard to come by in Lancashire and that is despite making his senior debut and scoring his first goal for Norway this season. Samuelsen also bagged his first PL2 goal of the season in the draw with Rovers and is looking forward to knuckling down over the next few months and getting some much needed minutes.
"I'm not allowed to play for the first team until January so the main thing for me it just to get back playing and get back to the joy of playing football," he said. "I'm looking forward to playing every week. It's been a really tough time and I've gone every week knowing I'm not going to play. "Hopefully now I can get the smile back on my face and enjoy playing football again." whufc.com
West Ham United boost! AC Milan planning to sell Bacca in January.
AC Milan have decided to cash in on Carlos Bacca, according to reports in Italy. The striker almost left the San Siro in the summer after spending only one season in Serie A. However, despite reportedly having a bid accepted, Bacca snubbed the Hammers in favour of staying put. Since then the Colombian has continued to impress and he has bagged six goals this season in 13 games.
West Ham remain interested in signing the 30-year-old, while PSG and Valencia are keen too. And, according to Leggo, their chances of snapping up Bacca have significantly increased as Milan are ready to sell. The Italian club need funds for the January transfer window and believe they can bank at least £25m by flogging their star striker. talksport.com
