Intro: It was a rule of the club that anyone asking a question which he himself could not answer must pay a fine. One of the members presented a question as to why a ground-squirrel in digging left no dirt around the entrance to its hole. He was finally called on for the answer, and explained that of course the squirrel began at the bottom and dug upward.
"Excellent!" a listener laughed. "But how does the squirrel manage to reach the bottom?"
"That," said the other with a grin, "is your question."
Am I faithfully keeping watch for Christ? Does my life reflect the fact that Christ will return. Is that reflected on my calendar, my appointments and everything else that I do.
Am I faithfully following Christ? If someone were to look at your monthly schedule, what would they conclude about how serious you are about following Christ. If it would be a mystery to a stranger, would it be a mystery to God.
Am I trusting Christ? Are you living with the power of the risen Christ within you? Do you know that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.
Am I serving Christ? Each of us has been given invaluable spiritual gifts. We are to invest those gifts in order to get a return on our Master's investment.
Will you be Commended for your love?
Do you wait for Christ to return because you are so absolutely in love with Him?
In our fast paced culture of today if we have to wait on something for more than a few seconds we either get angry or we get disinterested.
The switchboard officer asked, "Sir, how long has your wife been gone?"
The husband replied, "I think about one month."
Why did you wait so long to report it?" asked the policeman.
The husband replied, "Well . . . Until yesterday, I thought it was just a dream."
Don't be like that man!!
Rather wait with a sense of love and expectancy in getting excited about the Return of our Lord.
This is the kind of anticipation that we ought to have.
That kind of love has to overflow in our hearts, leading to action.
So many love God in an employer/ employee relationship. You think that if you don't go to church, or if you don't say your bedtime prayers then God will fire you.
That kind of love leads our lives to be like a job. You know a job. When you go up and ask somebody what they do and they I am an customer service operator. You say that's great, what do you love about it? They say, I don't know it's a job.
What does that tell you immediately? They really don't like what they do. It's drudgery, all day they just sit there and it saps their souls.
Friends. Our lives are nothing like that in Christ! You are a co-heir with Christ. Not an employee. You can't be fired. So live like you've never lived for Christ!
Let your life be marked by a crazy devotion to Christ that you're excited about.
II. Will you be condemned in your Laziness?
The 3rd slave certaintly wasn't commended by His master. But it's interesting that he wasn't condemned by what he did, but rather by what he didn't do.
So this servant blames the Master for his own lack of responsibility.
Boy don't we see stuff like this all the time? We blame someone else rather than accept our own responsibility.
Consider this story told by Bernard L. Brown, Jr., president of the Kennestone Regional Health Care System in the state of Georgia.
Brown once worked in a hospital where a patient knocked over a cup of water, which spilled on the floor beside the patient's bed. The patient was afraid he might slip on the water if he got out of the bed, so he asked a nurse's aide to mop it up. The patient didn't know it, but the hospital policy said that small spills were the responsibility of the nurse's aides while large spills were to be mopped up by the hospital's housekeeping group.
The nurse's aide decided the spill was a large one and she called the housekeeping department. A housekeeper arrived and declared the spill a small one. An argument followed.
"It's not my responsibility," said the nurse's aide, "because it's a large puddle." The housekeeper did not agree. "Well, it's not mine," she said, "the puddle is too small."
The exasperated patient listened for a time, then took a pitcher of water from his night table and poured the whole thing on the floor. "Is that a big enough puddle now for you two to decide?" he asked. It was, and that was the end of the argument.
Many of us deal with God in this way. We say, that's the preacher's job. Not my job. That's the Sunday School Teachers deal, not mine.
If the Bible teaches anything, it is accountability.
This failure to serve the Master with what has been given is an indication that there is a lack of love and a desire for the Master.
You see, if you sit around and point out all the stuff others should be doing instead of you, it's a symptom of a love problem between you and your Master.
Now this accountability isn't an attempt 'to earn your keep' either.
This is a demonstration of your love for Christ and your thankfulness for what He's given you. In other words, your love pushes you out of laziness for the Kingdom.
III. Am I serving the Christians whom God has put Around Me?
This is the last question for today.
You are not here by accident. But you are not here to be served, you are here to serve.
An I totally get that line of thinking but it misses the point.
You see Jesus is making the point that He's speaking here about those who have trusted in Him.
This isn't talking about random people at all. Other verses teach that, but not this one. Here Jesus is talking about serving who? Other believers.
Isn't it sad when people can be so generous and loving with others but they cause disruption in the Church?
This happens in the world too.
This has proved true in world history. In 1249, a soldier serving in the army of the city of Bologna, Italy, deserted to Modena and took with him an old oaken bucket used as a water trough for army horses. Bologna waived her rights to the fugitive, but demanded the return of the bucket. Proud Modena refused and a twenty-two-year conflict ensued (Encyclopedia of 7,700 Illustrations, Paul Lee Tan [Assurance Publishers], #7166).
It's pitiful when believers can't serve one another by putting others' needs ahead of their own.
Jesus says if you don't you're messing with Me.
Wait, so is Jesus saying we can earn our salvation by serving others? Not at all.
Look at verse 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
They are shocked that their acts had even been noticed. You serve others not because you can earn favor but because Jesus has radically changed your heart and mine.
This is a hallmark of salvation.
We sit here today and we are surrounded by people in need. The call here is unmistakeable.
It's not to observe those in need, rather it is to give extravagantly to them as a means of demonstrating our extravagant love for the Father.
Have you shown extravagant love for a brother in Christ in this place? Or for a sister in Christ in this place? What about a sister or brother in Christ in our community?
This is a life that is marked by a heart that's been transformed by Christ.
I challenge you today. Will you be commended for your love? Will you be condemned by laziness? And will you show extravagant love towards your brothers and sisters in Christ?
Pastor Fisher continues, "I wanted to leave the question unanswered, to tell him that we must not go past what Scripture has revealed, but my mind wandered to an encounter I had earlier in the day with a refugee from the Liberian civil war.
The man, a high school principal, told me how he was apprehended by a two-man death squad. After several hours of terror, as the men described how they would torture and kill him, he narrowly escaped. After hiding in the bush for two days, he was able to find his family and escape to a neighboring country.
The escape cost him dearly: two of his children lost their lives. The stark cruelty unleashed on an unsuspecting, undeserving population had touched me deeply. I also saw flashbacks of the beggars that I pass each morning on my way to the office.

U.S. Representative Peter Welch (VT)
Testimony to the Vermont Senate Government Operations Committee, March 15 2007.
As you know I supported the study last year and....the basic questions about when and how to implement any type of election reform is something that your committee obviously has to deal with. But on the basic question of Instant Runoff Voting, I believe that it does provide the voters with the tools helpful to them to maximize their preference in who they want to be the final, to be their office holder. And of course in Vermont it's particularly relevant because of the somewhat unusual constitutional provisions that we have with respect to constitutional officers that says that the legislature is supposed to be majority vote to determine who is the office holder in a situation where a person gets less than 50%. So I think in terms of democratic participation, keeping a decision about who will be the elected officeholder, IRV is the tool that enhances voter choice and as a general proposition is good for democracy.

Yahushua's Words, and His example, can both be seen in the New Testament writings. They reveal to us exactly when the Feast of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened occur. But there is a problem. These details of Passover, including the timing of the Passover Supper, are not easily seen by a casual reading. Instead, they are concealed, and hidden within both the Old and New Testament writings!
Not only are the New Covenant issues of eating of the flesh and blood of the Passover Lamb concealed, but likewise the Scriptural timing of when to eat the Passover Supper is concealed. The hidden-ness of these details is part of the mystery of Passover.
So how can we solve the 'mystery' — how we can see and understand the words and example of Yahushua, concerning the Scriptural timing for eating the Passover meal? To find the answer, we will first look at some interesting features of the four Gospel writings.
The four Gospel writings give an accurate portrait of life in Yahushua's day. The Gospels reveal to us not only the truths of the Words and examples of Yahushua, but also the popular traditions, as well as the 'doctrines of men,' prevalent in Yahushua's day.
Here in the Gospels we see many of the popular traditions of the Pharisees. Although contrary to the written Scriptures of Torah, these traditions are nevertheless accurately revealed, both in the Gospels, and in the epistles — but they present the reader with a confusing mixture of 'Doctrines of Men' mixed with Truth.
The result is that most casual readers of the Gospels (and the epistles) are not able to distinguish Truth of Scripture from tradition. Some traditions thus appear as common 'Scriptural' practice.
And so this confusing mixture of truth and tradition, as accurately presented in the Gospels, overshadows and conceals many of the truths of Yahushua's obedience to Torah in every detail, whose obedience is for our example.
This confusing mixture seen in the Gospels also appears to many to be a source of discrepancies and contradictions.
Little do we realise, that this 'mixture' of Truth and tradition functions as a means of separating out those who hold fast to the words of Yahushua, no matter the apparent opposition, from those easily swayed away from His words.
This 'mixture' of Truth and tradition also functions as a built-in deterrent, even as cherubim holding a flaming sword, who keep the Way of the 'Tree of Life' — the Way of Messiah — to prevent unauthorised persons from approaching.
That is, this 'mixture' of Truth and tradition seen in Scripture serves to filter-out all who do not hold to the Truth of Yahushua's Words, that is, those who are not committed to walking in them.
In Scripture, there are only two bases for discerning what is Truth, and what is tradition. One must either follow the words and examples of Yahushua; or he must dig deeply into Torah, in order to verify each word and example seen in the New Testament writings.
When the apostles Paul and Silas presented the Truth of the Gospel to the Bereans, we are told the Bereans were more 'noble' because they searched the Scriptures daily, to see whether those things were so. (The Scriptures they had were the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings, what we call the 'Old' Testament writings). Since we are told that the Bereans were more noble for searching the Torah to verify New Testament teaching, we conclude that we should do the same (Acts 17:10-11).
And so although the details of the Passover and its timing are not readily seen by a casual reading of the New Testament, they can be seen, nevertheless, by careful and prayerful study of the Gospels regarding the words and examples of Yahushua, which can then be confirmed in Torah.
So if one would sort out Truth from tradition, as presented in the New Testament writings, he must do one of two things. He must either develop a 'perfect' understanding of Torah, from which to see the error of tradition (no one but Yahushua has been able to accomplish this) — or else he must follow the simple Words and examples of Yahushua!
Now, let us notice carefully, that the Scriptures reveal that it is only because of Yahushua in our lives, that we can accurately understand Torah! (Lev 26:10; Matt 13:52). This tells us that unless Yahushua has been 'birthed' within the person, whereby he is said to 'Born-Again,' he cannot see the Kingdom, or its workings (John 3:3). And to those who have been Born-Again, Yahushua will pour out His Holy spirit, to lead them into all Truth (John 14:26, 16:13).
And as we saw in Part 1, in Isaiah 8:16 we are told the testimony of the Torah is closed up, and 'sealed' as to its prophetic meaning, except to those who are Messiah's Disciples.
When the Disciples were walking with Yahushua on the road to Emmaus, it was only after they had walked along with Messiah for a time, that their eyes were opened. Only after walking together with Him, walking in His footsteps, hearing His Word, and only after sitting down to eat with Him — did they know Him (Luke 24:16,31).
We too, if we would have the 'eyes' of our heart opened, in order to know Him (John 7:17), must first walk together with Him, while hearing His Word, and doing His will.
In order to have our eyes opened, that we might see His Word, understand His Word, and know His Word — and thus truly 'know' Him — we must first become "DO-ers" of His will.
Let us briefly review how we can do His will, and as a result, have our eyes opened.
Here we are told that the Father's will is for everyone who sees the Son (Yahushua), and 'believes' on Him, may have everlasting life.
But what does it mean to 'believe' on/in Yahushua, according to the Scriptures?
Let's briefly review this important topic.
At this point, let's recall our objective. We are looking for the Biblical timing of Passover, including the Passover supper. But in order that we may find the true timing of the Passover meal, we must first solve the 'mystery' of how we can see and understand Yahushua's Words, and His Example.
We then saw in the Scriptures that only after He opens our eyes can we see, and 'understand' the secret or hidden mysteries of the Kingdom — which include the details of Passover. And to have our eyes opened, we must do His will — that is, we must 'believe' on Him.
And so now we must find out what it means to 'believe' on Yahushua.
We saw that as New Covenant Believers, we have inherited Abraham's example of what it means to believe in Yahuweh. We saw that Yahuweh accounts, reckons, imputes, and considers our belief in Yahuweh as our Righteousness, in exactly the same way as Yahuweh did for Abraham.
We saw further that the word 'believe,' from the same root as the word 'faith,' is a gift from Father, and can not be earned by ones own efforts.
We saw the first stage of Believing pictures one who Hears Messiah's Words, and who receives, and ascribes Truth to, all of Father's Word.
We also saw the first stage as analogous to the planting of a Seed in a garden, and pictures the Seed of Messiah being birthed in the heart of the Believer, whose heart is receptive to the Word, as a garden ready for the Seed.
We saw that the 2nd stage of Believing portrays one who, through maturity, becomes a "DO-er" of Messiah's Words, of which Messiah tells us they are not His Words, but are Father's Words.
We saw that the 2nd stage of Believing is analogous to the growth of the plant, and the producing of its Fruit. We saw further that as the plant continues to grow, it goes on to become a Tree in the midst of the garden of the heart.
We saw that the Tree producing the fruit is Messiah Himself, living within, having been earlier birthed in the heart of the Believer, When Father planted the Seed in the garden of the heart.
We saw that the Fruit produced by the Tree is the Fruit of Righteousness. We then saw that the Tree from which the fruit originates is known as the Tree of Righteousness, which is none other than Messiah living within the Believer (Col 1:27; Luke 6:44; Php 1:11).
We then saw that the Fruit of Righteousness consists of the works of Righteousness — of keeping all the Words of the Father, which in total are called "Torah" (Instruction, teaching) of the Father.
We saw too that the Fruit (works) of Righteousness produced by a tree not planted by Father, are nothing more than filthy rags, and tares, for they are of (originate from) the works of the Law, but are not of (originate from) the works of Messiah.
Having been birthed within, Messiah-in-us then desires to grow to maturity; and as we allow Him to do so, He will mature, and will produce in our lives the Fruit of Righteousness, the works of obedience to Torah.
Finally, we saw that the Biblical Truth of what it means to 'believe' in Yahushua has been corrupted and twisted by man-made doctrines. The result is that the majority of Believers today do not hold to a belief that is according to Scripture, but have only a mental agreement to certain facts in the Scriptures, which we saw is a Greek-oriented, philosophical idea, void of any action.
We saw that this form of belief is merely a 'head knowledge' of the Scriptures, rather than the 'Doing' of the Scriptures, and is thus contrary to the Scriptural definition of Belief and of Faith, as displayed by all the men of Faith, from Abraham to Zacchaeus.
We saw that the devils hold this same form of 'belief,' and they tremble (James 2:19) — for they know the 'judgments' of Scripture (Yah's 'House Rules') are true, thus even the devils know they will soon see Yahuweh's punishment upon the ungodly. Even the devils know that this mental agreement form of 'belief' can not rescue them.
We then saw the Scriptural Truth of 'believing' in Yahushua is not in being a Greek-oriented, thought-oriented 'hearer' of the Words of Scripture; but rather, believing is in becoming a Hebrew-oriented, "DO-er" of the Words of the Father. We saw that ones thoughts are revealed by his actions. Only by ones actions can his Faith be then seen as either non-Biblical or Biblical Faith.
We saw in Scripture that the Prophets spoke of the eventual end-time battle, whereby the Hebrew-oriented, "DO-ers" of Torah would be the overcomers, who would prevail over the Greek-oriented 'belief' system of hearing the Torah, but not the doing of Torah (James 1:25).
As we become "DO-ers" of Torah, we begin to notice that Father opens our eyes, that we might understand His Word!
As we follow the logic in the above statements, we see that in order to have our eyes Opened, we must become "DO-ers" of Torah. That is, our eyes are opened when we become "DO-ers" of Torah, when we simply do as Messiah did while He was on earth, for our example today.
Now if Yahuweh opens our eyes when we do His will — and if His will is that we believe on Yahushua whom He has sent — we may now conclude that Father will open our eyes when we do His will–and His will is that we choose to be a "DO-er" of Torah.
And so if we choose to obey every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahuweh (His Torah), and we purpose in our hearts to do so, He will open our eyes to see, and to understand how we may obey all His Words.
If, however, we choose to hold on to tradition, our eyes will remain shut, and we will not be allowed to 'see' His example in Scripture. We will thus not be able to see and understand the Feast of Passover, nor to keep it in the proper way — nor at the proper time.
When Messiah walked on the earth, He 'Believed' on the Father. Messiah kept all of Father's Word (the Torah), and in doing so He produced the Fruit of Righteousness. Those who are a part of His Bride, will be just as He is.
Now we can see more easily, how Believers in Messiah are called to be just as the Bridegroom, and are called to produce the Fruit of Righteousness by becoming "DO-ers" of Torah.
Stick with me, Dear Reader, for we are almost ready to see Yahushua's words and example regarding the timing of the Passsover meal.
Communion: A Man-Made Substitute for the Biblical Passover – Also called the 'Eucharist' and 'Lord's Supper,' this man-made substitute is a counterfeit of the Biblical Passover meal eaten by Messiah and His disciples the same night in which He was betrayed. This counterfeit has been passed down to us over the centuries, and today continues to be practiced unknowingly by most evangelical Believers.

There have been a spate of high profile CEO accounts being hacked lately. The latest to have fallen victim is Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Other notable accounts include Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.
Now in Sundar and Mark's case, both accounts were on third party sites (Quora and LinkedIn respectively). What sets the latest hack apart from the rest is that it happened on Twitter to the Twitter CEO.
Now all of this may not affect you in your day to day use of the internet. Afterall, not everyone is a high profile executive of a multinational company. That doesn't mean you are immune to hackers, or identity theft and it highlights that even those with hordes of security teams at their disposal can still be victims too.
There are some very simple and basic things you can do to protect yourself. The most obvious is making sure you use unique passwords for different websites that are sufficiently complex to make them difficult to guess. Don't use birthdays. Don't use the names of family members or pets. If you do use a word or phrase, make sure you change some of the letters for either numbers or special characters.
There are password management systems out there, which mean you don't need to remember every single password under the sun. If you use one, make sure you have a complex password for it! I don't use one myself, as I remain suspicious about putting all my eggs in (another) online basket, but I know lots of people that use them regularly.
Another option to consider is two factor authentication for sites that allow it. When enabled you get a verification code sent to your phone (either via SMS or an app) whenever you try to login to your account. That means if someone does manage to figure out your password, they still cannot get into your account without your phone. Now you may be thinking, "What if I get mugged?" Well, if that happens you probably have greater concerns than your Twitter account being hacked!
I touched upon identity theft just now, which is a broader subject than simply being hacked. There are things you can do to minimise the risks, like keeping information about yourself online to a minimum. Nothing is ever foolproof however and by our nature we share information all the time (both on and offline). If you are worried or suspicious about activity on a bank account for instance, then speak with your bank straight away. The same goes for your phone company, or any utility company or service you use.
After taking on board all of the warnings and stories of identity theft and high profile hacks, remember that it is still relatively rare to become a victim. Obviously these things get media attention as bad stories do, but it doesn't mean we should all be running for the hills or burying our heads in the sand. Just make sure you take precautions and you will most likely stay safe.

Chocolate Peppermint Truffles. This time of year makes me think of chocolate. So how about some chocolate peppermint truffles? Truffles, cookies, brownies to name a few. It seems like there are always sweet treats going around at parties.
I have been trying to come up with cleaner versions. This chocolate peppermint truffle recipe is another one of those. Only 4 ingredients and just a few minutes!
I got the idea for these peppermint truffles after making my Chocolate Pistachio Truffles. These healthy truffles are so good and they just melt in your mouth.
The best part? They can literally be made in minutes! I used to think truffles were hard to make, but this recipe proved me wrong. It couldn't be easier.
In a food processor , combine all the ingredients and blend until a dough starts to form.
Store in the fridge to firm them up. About 20 minutes. I got 10 truffles out of my batch. Enjoy!
Love this idea! I'm making these on Wednesday when I get home from my trip. Thanks for helping with my clean eating goals. My sister and I love your website!
You are so welcome Liz! I hope you enjoy this recipe!
I want to try these so badly! My problem is no matter how many of your recipes I try with dates in the food processor, I can never get the paste consistency you describe. I just get smaller dices, or chunks. While it doesn't hurt the flavor (they taste delicious!), the texture is waaaay off and much more crumbly, obviously. What am I missing? Am I not processing them long enough? Help!
Maybe your food processor isn't strong enough? Some aren't. You can try soaking the dates in water for 10 minutes prior to using them. That should help soften them up a bit.
I was wondering if that was the problem...it's not terribly powerful :( The soaking may be just the trick! Thanks so much! I've really enjoyed finding your website and trying your recipes. My husband has a chronic GI problems and these recipes are treats that he can actually have and don't taste like cardboard. Thank you for all your hard work!
You're welcome Amber! I hope that works out for you. Let me know.
I tried soaking the dates, with measured success. I now have a new, more powerful blender (Merry Christmas to me!) and after trying again, it was perfect!! I was so excited to get the fudgy, rich, cake texture, delicious! Thanks again.
Chocolate and mint is one of the best combinations in the world! These look amazing - and so simple to make!
Could you just use date sugar instead? Already have it on hand so I thought I'd ask? Great recipe!
I'm not sure. The dates help with the binding. If you try, let me know how it works out.
Can't wait to make these once I'm off the candida cleanse! I love the chocolate-mint combination - and SO simple!
Would coconut or peanut butter work? I have both of those!
I think coconut butter would be fabulous!
I made these yesterday and they were amazing ! Thank you so much for the recipe. I use sunmaid dates and just add a few more as you suggest. Sometimes my mixture isn't moist enough to bind together so I just add a T. of water or so and it turns put perfect .
They do need to be refrigerated. Then again, I have never tried leaving them out? Maybe you could make a batch to experiment and see if they last outside the fridge. I would be interested in the answers.
Made these last night with almond butter and sunmaid dates and they are so good! They remind me of the girl scout thin mints. Very delicious! I can see a Christmas goodie box forming from all your no bake bites....:) Thanks for the great recipes and keep up the good work!!
You're welcome Wendy! Thanks for making my recipes. Glad you enjoy them!
Have you ever made these with food grade peppermint oil instead of extract?
Never tried, but I am sure it's possible.

Home Regional News Middle East Fighters are Battling Remaining International Sales
Fighters are Battling Remaining International Sales
France and the UAE are negotiating the sale of 60 Rafale fighters to the UAE, replacing the country's Mirage-2000-9 currently in use. UAE operates a mixed fleet of F-16E/F Block 60 and Mirage-2000-9. Both aircraft were significantly improved from their baseline configuration and tailored for the UAE requirements, a process expected to continue with their selecting a unique model of Rafale. Under the terms being negotiated between the countries, the French will 'trade-in' the older Mirage fighters for the new-generation Rafales, which will be further improved with a more powerful Snecma M88 engine, having 20 percent higher thrust, a choice of new weapons, including the MBDA Meteor Beyond Visual Range missile and advanced avionics. One major improvement is the integration of Thales RBE2 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. The new radar successfully completed a new series of tests on the Rafale. The first two RBE2s are to be delivered to Dassault Aviation next year for installation in Rafaele F3 by 2011. The first fighters operating the new radar will become operational in 2012. Rafale is also pursueing opportunities in Lybia, Brazil, and Inida.
Another improvement scheduled to field with Rafaele by 2012 is a new targeting pod. Thales is introducing a major upgrade for the Damocles targeting pod. The Damocles XF will be produced as form-fit version of the current pod, as well as an upgrade kit destined for the 100 pods currently operational and on order. The new version, referred to as 'third generation' is equipped with navigational FLIR and laser spot tracker in addition to the previous targeting FLIR, laser rangefinder and designator. The daylight channel has been improved with the addition of high resolution TV camera while the FLIR is added continuous zoom lens. More powerful image processing of the thermal channel delivers enhanced IR imagery, comparable to the video channel. Thales plans to have an XF version of the pod ready for test flights by 2012.
Typhoon is also fighting for more dominance despite lagging behind in current international bids. Unlike the Rafale, the Typhoon produced by the Eurofighter European multinational consortium has won significant orders from European air forces as well securing a sale of 72 aircraft to Saudi Arabia. The first two aircraft destined to the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) were officially delivered early June. The delivery is part of a large weapons sale program signed between the U.K and Saudi governments in 2007. The aircraft were withdrawn from the U.K Tranch 2 production lots. Originally, the RAF expected to receive more modern Tranche 3 fighters instead of the Tranche 1 and 2 diverted to the Saudis but apparently budget cuts have taken their toll on the British appetite for Typhoons and, at present, the U.K. have not reinstated the full for Tranch 3 aircraft. Apparently London is delaying purchasing decisions to Tranche 3B phase, which has not been committed yet.
The Boeing Company is introducing its redesigned F-15 in the international arena, fitted with new avionics and advanced stealth features to challenge the latest fighters, including F-35. Boeing is discussing the potential co-development opportunities with a number of international aerospace companies, to help paving the Silent Eagle's way to international customers. The redesigned multi-role strike fighter will be provided with aerodynamic improvements featuring stealth capabilities, as well as digital electronic warfare suite coupled to an Advanced Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar for enhanced situational awareness. The company announced it will dedicate funding to further development of the F-15 Silent Eagle program, with the goal of a flight demonstration in the third quarter of 2010. "We know from talking with current international F-15 operators that they are very interested in the capabilities of the Silent Eagle," said Jim Albaugh Boeing Integrated Defense Systems President and CEO. "Making this commitment to get the program through to a flight demonstration will ultimately help international customers understand how this aircraft meets their need for a flexible, long-range, large-payload, high-speed, multi-role strike fighter with reduced observability."
The company also promotes the F/A-18E/F with new improvements on the way, including a more powerful engine and an infra-red search track (IRST) system developed by Lockheed Martin, to be placed on the centerline pod. While the position underneath the fuselage provides a clear view downwards, Navy aviators realize the IRST also provides ample coverage upwards, at least against targets of interest at long-range. Some of the early production E/F models could also be fitted with new AESA radar, designed by Raytheon especially for upgrading programs.
Raytheon is introducing a new AESA radar designated AN/APG-82, developed as a 'spiral' spin-off from the mechanically scanned AN/APG-63(V)3 and -4 models sofar used for upgraded and new F-15s. Unlike the previous model, AN/APG-82 will have full commonality with the AN/APH-79 radar used on the F/A-18E/F, thus offering significant advantages in production costs and logistical availability. The different models will differ mainly in the size of their antenna arrays, designed to fit the different radomes of the two aircraft. Raytheon has already won a USAF contract to install the new radar in 224 USAF F-15Es. The radar was also selected for integration in the new F-15SE Silent Eagle proposed by Boeing. In addition Raytheon is developing the Advanced Combat Radar (RACR) AESA radar currently, proposed as an upgraded or new built aircraft such as the F-16. RACR is uniquely optimized for the F-16 and could be installed with minimal modifications and changes to the aircraft. Raytheon is also eying about 135 early production F/A-18E/F aircraft currently fitted with mechanically scanning AN/APG-73 radars that cannot be fitted with the APG-79.
Northrop Grumman is also offering a new AESA based radar for the upgrading of existing aircraft. The technology of the new radar is 'downscaled' from the APG-81 radar, destined for the F-35. Northrop Grumman is hopeful the this radar as a subset of APG-81 technology, approved for export by the U.S. Government and available for export by 2011.

Everyone knows the current system in place for the Department of Justice only works for the most wealthy. I am trying to raise enough money to be able to post bail for my husband to be able to see his ailing and possibly dying mother one last time before he will probably serve time he had nothing to do with. Of course he is African-American and his mother nor I have very large incomes and I am currently caring for my mother who is ailing and has been given only 6 months to live. The system in place makes it impossible for black lives have any fighting chance with their outrageous $ amounts set for freedom or to be able to pay for an attorney that is not over-worked and impossible to reach via telephone to discuss the case like the public defenders are. I am an advocate, joining many new campaigns including many celebrities, to try and give these men a fighting chance to prove their innocence without having to settle for these outrageous plea bargains for guilty verdicts and adding to the already over-crowded prison system that does nothing to rehabilitate this disenfranchised part of our population. Any little bit donated helps and I will provide updates as the case progresses. Help this forgotten member of society see his mother one last time and fight his case from the outside!

Who We AreGoing GreenCompany NewsYear In Review Media KitCOVID-19
New Fast Park Branding Reflects Core Values
After 30 years of serving Albuquerque International Sunport, Airport Fast Park, an off-site airport parking company, is changing its colors. Airport Fast Park is becoming green, in practice and in brand as it changes its name to Fast Park & Relax.
Most noticeable to customers will be the new Daimler Sprinters featuring people 'relaxing' as they journey to the airport, the new employee uniforms and the updated signage at the facility.
"We are excited to introduce our new, Fast Park & Relax brand to the Albuquerque market," said Melanie Chavez, who oversees branding for the company. "The new brand in name and color reflects who we are as an organization and communicates those essential elements our airport customers care about: speed and a consistent, relaxing experience."
While the change to Fast Park & Relax does primarily entail a branding change, it also exemplifies the company's commitment to reducing its energy consumption and utilizing sustainable techniques where possible. The Sprinter shuttles are proven to reduce carbon emissions by more than 50 percent, when compared to traditional shuttle busses. Further, Sprinters get double the miles per gallon over traditional shuttles. Fast Park & Relax estimates that their fleet runs over 210,000 miles per year in Albuquerque. By using the Sprinter fleet, the company will lower its fuel consumption by nearly 17,000 gallons and will emit 468,000 fewer pounds of CO2 annually.
Another change that Fast Park has recently made is the installation of approximately 1,700 covered parking spaces. Not only do these carports protect customers' cars from the hot sun, but they also lessen the heat island effect that is often attributed to large concrete or asphalt surfaces. By reflecting light from the Sun, the residual heat does not warm the parking surface. This causes less heat to be absorbed into the local environment and the water table below the surface. As well, the addition of these carports has allowed Fast Park to replace more than 90 percent of its traditional mast light poles with more energy efficient florescent lights, thereby reducing its overall energy consumption and total amount of light trespass in the immediate area. Fast Park is also looking to install charging stations for electric cars in early 2010.
"As an organization, we are becoming increasingly focused on trying to find ways to reduce our impact upon the environment," Chavez added. "We have recently made large strides within our new construction and are very happy that we've been able to make some incremental changes at our Albuquerque property, which has been serving this community for many years."
Fast Park, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio operates 18 off-site airport parking facilities in 12 markets throughout the United States. Business units of Fast Park include Airport Fast Park, Fast Park & Relax, Park Place and Fast Park2. Facilities are located in Albuquerque, Austin, Baltimore (2 facilities), Cincinnati (2 facilities), Cleveland (3 facilities), Houston (3 facilities), Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Orlando, Raleigh and Tucson. All facilities are open 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with car to door terminal service. Fast Park is committed to exploring and utilizing environmentally sustainable materials, technologies, and operational practices that will help reduce its impact on the environment.

It's getting hard to maintain my position of never predicting anything but a win.
Everton are always tough and having just seen the staring line up as I write this I'm concerned that we have no natural width…although can't deny that Welbeck probably deserves to keep his place.
With Young injured though would have prefered to see Tony V get a game with Nani shifting to the left.
Should have just enough to scrape a win, but wouldn't be surprised to see the scoreline I've predicted reversed.
We're well and truly in our early season lull (two months late) and can't see this being the game we get out of it. We haven't got the consistency in defence due to injury/form/suspensions. The midfield players we have in the squad are good enough to compete, just not on current form. Cleverley may be the answer. Rooney's form has dipped in the aftermath of the off field stuff with his dad and the England game…we need him back to somewhre near his best and soon.

A TEENAGER involved in a tragic car collision has been reunited with the doctor from the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) who saved her life.
Ellis Marr, 18, was travelling from Millom to Gosforth with her friends Skye Mitchell and Caitlin Huddleston when their vehicle collided with a van on the A595 road, near Bootle on July 14 2017.
Miss Mitchell and Miss Huddleston were pronounced dead at the scene, while Ellis was treated for critical injuries by North West Ambulance Service paramedics and the GNAAS doctor-led trauma team before being airlifted by the charity to Royal Preston Hospital.
Ellis broke the right side of her pelvis, had a lower right leg compound fracture, a broken tibia, fibula and lower back sacrum bone. She also had bruised ribs, and a bleed on the brain.
Ellis stayed in hospital for more than four months and was discharged on November 22 to continue her recovery at home.
Ellis and her family recently visited the GNAAS base at Langwathby and met Dr Andy Barrington who treated Ellis on the day of the incident.
Last year Ellis achieved the A Level results she needed to secure a Higher Apprenticeship at Sellafield Ltd. This has been deferred until September, and it is hoped that Ellis will have progressed enough by then to be able to take up the apprenticeship offer.
Since the incident, a team of cyclists from south and west Cumbria, including Mr Cummings, travelled 135 miles on a round trip to Penrith from Millom, and raised more than £12,000 for GNAAS who are funded entirely by public donations.
Last year GNAAS responded to over 1000 call-outs and needed to raise £5.1m. To find out how you can help, please visit www.gnaas.com or call 01768-899150.


Harry Smith in action on the Ace Inflatables Dash and Grab bungee game.
Ace Inflatables, an Uckfield company that makes and hires out bouncy castles and assault courses, is gearing up for the summer.
New stock includes The Unreal 150ft Assault Course, a rodeo bull and Mini Golf, and more new products will be unveiled over the next couple of months.
Harry Smith, events co-ordinator for the company, which is based at Bird-in-Eye Farm, said they wanted to push the boundaries of innovation and fun even further this year.

The Unreal assault course – complete with U-bend – designed and built by Uckfield firm Ace Inflatables.
You get into the assault course through a hole in the wall to be met by Bish and Bash, inflatable pillars you have to fight through. Next you charge through the X gates, dive into an inflatable letter box, leap over hurdle tubes and jump over an inflatable horse box.
Then you reach the turn inthe course, meet more Bish and Bash, a Knot of inflatable turrets which catch your arms and legs, more Hurdle tubes and finally climb to the top of a slide before reaching the open again.
The new rodeo bull tests your strength as it spins and flicks to dislodge you from its back. An automatic sensor stops the bull once you fall off. See it in action in the video below.
The mini golf course has nine holes and is designed for use for casual entertainment, for a wedding or corporate exhibitions.
The new mini golf course available for hire from Ace Inflatables, Uckfield.

There are several recipes for a homemade Almond Joy Candy Bars that I've found on the internet. A couple are low carb versions.
I've had my eyes on these for quite some time. As always, I like to tweak things in the recipes I find to make it my own. I used a can of Nestle Table Cream which is pretty easy to find in a Walmart store in the Hispanic food section.
This is my version of the famous coconut with almond candy bars that is better known as a Almond Joy or Bounty bars. Most regular sugar recipes use sweetened condensed milk and I'm sure this makes for a chewy bar.
I'm not sure how this chewy coconut center can be done without real sugar. However, the unsweetened coconut does hold together well with table cream and liquid sucralose or SweetLeaf stevia drops.
Although I didn't try making these low carb candy bars with a erythritol and stevia blend, I'm sure the cream will still hold the coconut center together. A sweetener containing fiber like LC Foods – Inulin or Swerve may be a better choice.
There's also the fiber syrups like VitaFiber IMO syrup that are marketed to the low carb community. However, you need to use caution with those as some notice blood sugar spikes after consuming them. Find out more here.
I may try using only a tablespoon or so of the IMO syrup along with heavy cream rather than the table cream. I'm trying to eliminate processed foods and the canned cream does contain questionable ingredients.
The hardest part to making these low carb candy bars is staying away from them once they are finished and stored in the refrigerator. I had to hide them in the back so I don't see them every time I open the fridge.
If you love coconut as much as I do and miss eating Almond Joy candy bars, this is a recipe that is well worth your time.
Another one of my favorite candies is a Snickers bar. I've made Snickers like low carb candy bars as well. You can find that recipe here.
What's your favorite candy bar? Maybe there's a way to convert it into a low carb version.
A chocolate coated sweet coconut candy bar that I call my low carb Almond Joy candy bar. It truly will have you jumping for joy when you take a bite.
In a large bowl, stir together table cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix in the unsweetened coconut.
Place two almonds on each log (or omit nuts if making Mounds bars).
Put baking sheet of logs into freezer while making chocolate coating.
Remove the coconut logs from the freezer.
Place each coconut almond log on a fork and dip bottom into melted chocolate. Then use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over top and sides until log is completely covered in chocolate.
Wipe excess chocolate off bottom of fork on side of melter and then set on non-stick sheet to harden.
Repeat steps until each log is covered in chocolate.

Cotteridge and its churches before 1911
Cotteridge and its churches before 1911 by FE Hopkins
Cotteridge House
This was situated between Cotteridge Road and Hudson's Drive. It was built in the late 17th century. In 1792 it was offered for sale, described as "a compleat country villa". It had a sixty-acre working farm, barns, stables, cowhouses, pigsties, poultry pens and a dovecote. It was said to be "about four miles and a half from Birmingham, and half a mile from the Parish Church of Kings Norton (to which there is a good foot road), upon an Eminence commanding a pleasing prospect."
In 1840 a tithe map was drawn up for Kings Norton. It tells us that Cotteridge House was owned by William Spurrier, but tenanted by William Martin.
The census of 1841 says that two farmers named Willitts lived there with a governess and four servants as well as the wife and five children of one of the farmers.
In the Kelly`s directory for 1892, Cotteridge farm was farmed by Frederick Morris. In 1894 he is not mentioned and the farm seems to have been built on in the great expansion of house building in 1895-1900.
Breedon House
This stood where Cotteridge School now stands. The grounds ran parallel with Pershore Rd almost to the canal.
In 1840 the house was occupied by the owner, John Lane Snow. There were two cottages, (now 1771 and 1773 Pershore Rd). One was empty and the other was tenanted by John Lewis.
In 1841, Breedon House was only occupied by a labourer and his wife, John and Sarah Green. Breedon Cottage was occupied by a cooper (barrel-maker) called Richard Lewis and Breedon House Cottage was occupied by a farmer, Richard Parsonage.
In 1861, Breedon House was occupied by the Baldwin family who were paper makers.
By 1871 there were three Breedon Cottages and Haye House which still stands opposite the Breedon Bar pub, bearing the date 1862.
By 1881, there is a Breedon Lodge, which still stands, just past Dell Rd, at 1653 Pershore Rd.
By 1895 part of Breedon House was the Maisonette Dairy Company.
Then in 1900 the "Board Schools" were built on this site.
High House
This appears in the census of 1861.It lay south of the railway line and east of Pershore Rd South. Its entrance avenue of trees is still visible in the Factory Centre.
This was on the site of the present Cotteridge Social Club.
Watford House
This was on the corner of Pershore Rd South and Middleton Hall Rd, where the row of shops and flats from Sophie's Choice to Kings Norton Station now stands. It was the last residence of George Dawson, the famous preacher and reformer, who died there in 1876.
Cotteridge had a "Picture Theatre" in 1913 at the end of Hudson's Drive. There was also "The Savoy", at the Breedon Cross, opposite the pub. The factory which stands there now is called The Savoy Works.
By 1900, when there had been a huge development of housing in Cotteridge, other services were also arriving. There were four doctors and the Medical Officer of Health and the Sanitary Inspector were at 39 Watford Rd. Before 1911 there was a constable of the Worcestershire County Police at 108 Rowheath Rd (after this time Cotteridge became part of Birmingham). The Kings Heath Volunteer Fire Brigade had a sub-station at 1 Holly Rd.
In 1892 there were about twenty houses with about 100 people in Cotteridge, according to a pamphlet about St Agnes Church. By 1902, this had changed to about 868 houses, with a population of about 4,300.It goes on to say that "The School Board has already provided a handsome school for 600 children, at a cost of £12,000, and there is every prospect of a further steady development of the district, which will shortly be supplied, under the Local Urban District Council, with a tram service direct to Birmingham."
However, some people found life hard. In 1907 and 1908, a soup kitchen was opened in St Agnes Hall because there was much seasonal unemployment and wages of 18 shillings(90p) per week and rents of 5 shillings(25p) per week made life difficult for married men with families.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal was cut in the 1790s, and the Pershore Turnpike Rd was made along old lanes.
In 1840 the first railway arrived, from Birmingham to Gloucester with a station where it crossed Lifford Lane. In the 1870s the Birmingham West Suburban Line (cross-city line) came through Selly Oak and Bournville, following the canal through Lifford to meet the Gloucester line by Kings Norton station.In 1884 the short stretch by the present Cotteridge park was opened.In the 1960s the old loop round Lifford was removed. Between 1840 and 1884 there were 3 different Lifford Stations shown on the maps below.
In 1902 the electric trams came from John Bright Street to the Cotteridge Tram Terminus. This was where Beaumont Court now stands, where Cotteridge bus depot was for many years after the demise of the tram.
The map of 1913 does not show a road linking Watford Rd to Linden Road, so this must have been developed for the introduction of the Outer Circle bus route around 1920.
Lifford Hall
The oldest building in the area is Lifford Hall, in Lifford Lane. Previously, Lifford was a much more prominent area than Cotteridge, but now the roles are reversed.

Tyrone A. Ash was raised in the City of Hollywood, Florida in the community of Liberia. Ash became the first student body president of the first integrated high school in Broward County. In the 10th Grade, he asked his American History teacher, "Why was it when black people were discussed in this class they were all slaves?" The teacher sent him to the office for disturbing his class. This episode led to his desire to know more about his people and Ancestors. The journey of research had begun.
In the 12th Grade, there were two events of civil disobedience. One event was a school walk-out for equal treatment for students of African descent on campus. The other event was for fair and respectable treatment for school's football team members of African descent. Ash was on the forefront of each disturbance. These experiences increased his desire for more knowledge of his Ancestors.
In college at Southern Illinois University, Ash was a student employee at the Black Studies Department for three years. The thirst for "Black" knowledge within him was fed. He studied under some of the most famous scholars in African-American, African and Caribbean History. Dr. Walter G. Robinson and Dr. Henry Wilson were a few. His assignment was a teaching task on African-American History at the Galconda Job Corps Center in Kentucky. Participants increased their knowledge of self-history, ancestry and the "Story of the Diaspora".
In the college town of Carbondale, Ash was a participant in the Community Empowerment Programs of the Black Panthers. He served breakfast in the mornings to elementary school children of the community. At the end of college classes for the day, he returned to the community to conduct after school tutoring.
Ash was on the front line of a protest march in the City of Cario, Illinois with several college students. The march was a part of an economic boycott of the merchants in the city by people of African descent. The protest was successful and changed history of the city.
Ash graduated in 1973 and returned to Hollywood, Florida, his hometown. With a Government Degree there was not a job for him within any city or county agency. His career in community building and youth empowerment began. The African Proverb "each one teach one" became his theme.
He wrote proposals for community agencies, cities, and private not for profit organizations. Housing developments were built while teaching community residents how to prepare for homeownership and the value of owning a home. Business plans for small and minority businesses were written. Bond financing plans for housing and commercial ventures were submitted and funded. His work with youth programs included: drug prevention, music instruction and cultural performances. A very high level of success in these fields was experienced from his work for the next thirty years.
He was a member of the Fair Share and Economic Development Committee of the Fort Lauderdale Chapter of the NAACP for eighteen years. This committee was ranked Number One for five consecutive years among national chapters for its success in securing public and private contracts for minority participation in employment and membership on boards and commit
As time passed, the passion of his first love returned and took control. Assuming the position of historian for his family, he began to write and conduct research on his Ancestors. A comprehensive bank of family data and history was developed.
His granddaughter of about three years old asked him a question. The question was "GP why you like that"? His granddaughter demanded the full story on the journey in the life of people of African descent. The end product of the research was the publication of this book, "The Story GrandPa Told of American and World African Legends and Culture". The story was designed to emphasize how all people of African descent have the same history. This book is proclaimed as a personal reference on the Story of the Diaspora which increases knowledge of self- history and ancestry for success.


Sure, online shopping has practically become a new favourite sport, but when it comes to online photo printing, the benefits extend beyond avoiding the hassles of finding a park, navigating the crowds or being greeted by closed doors.
At the Canvas Factory, creativity is King, choice is Queen and style is all around.
But why should you enter the kingdom in the first place? And what can you expect once you step inside?
Here, we give you the keys to the printing palace.
With online photo printing, you can take one or multiple photos and display them in a multitude of ways.
As our collages cost the same as a single print, it may be tempting to choose a collage as a way to print as many photos as possible.
However, single prints can often hold more impact. Select the hero shot from your photo collection. You know the one. It's the one that gets all the oohs and ahhs (or the most likes on Facebook!).
That's the photo that will look outstanding as a single print.
When styling your single print online, you can crop the photo yourself. Don't be afraid to do so! While your photo may have been shot as a landscape or portrait, a square print may be a better fit for your wall space.
Our Canvas App lets you resize in a live environment, so you can test to see what style and shape best suits your photo.
Same photo as the single print above, but split across three panels. Effective isn't it?
Not every photo suits a split image print, but we say every photo deserves a go. Designing online gives you this flexibility.
All you have to do is select the split image option on our Canvas App, upload a photo then manouvre it to see if the style will suit.
Try moving the photo around the canvas layout. Try zooming in and out.
If your photo is of people, the trick is to avoid chopping off essential parts of their bodies. If your photo is of a place or something from nature (e.g. a flower garden), be sure the main feature of the photo remains the focal point.
Pets, animals, sunsets and landscapes often look amazing as a split image, so if you enjoy a creative decor and love a more arty style, this is definitely the way to go.
Wall displays are the premium canvas option so it pays to take time and get it right. You get this freedom online.
When it comes to wall displays, bigger is always better. However, it's important you take care to measure your available wall space first before deciding on a size.
We've made this job easier for you by including the measurement of each canvas frame in our Canvas App.
Canvas photo displays are a wonderful way to tell a story or share a journey.
Collages remain one of our most popular purchases and it's easy to see why.
Collages provide the most affordable way to feature more than one photo as the display all sits on a single canvas print.
It may only take 5-10 minutes to create a collage online, but when it comes to choosing which style to go with, it may take a bit longer as you are totally spoilt for choice.
First you have to decide whether you want a traditional collage, a themed collage, a modish collage or a silhouette collage.
Some gems include a 'Live Travel Adventure' holiday themed collage, a romantic modish heart collage and a pet paw silhouette collage.
Then you have to decide which of the designs you like within those styles. It's such a wonderful problem to have!
Collages make for a great DIY craft project, so find some quiet time to be creative or get the kids involved to help out.
It's a really fun online activity. Enjoy!
With so many styles available to you at the click of a button, the only decision left to make is how small or large you'd like your print to be.
As you browse our website, you'll see we've listed our most popular online photo print sizes. However, within our clever Canvas App, you'll be able to choose from the complete range.
When designing a wall display there's a bit of maths involved, but if you use our online canvas creation tool you'll see we've done the hard work for you.
It doesn't matter how big or small your space is (or how big or small your budget is!), the key is to measure your available space first then choose the print size.
From an interior design perspective, it often makes sense to centre a photo print above a piece of furniture, for example, a couch, a cabinet or a bed.
Measure the width of the item of furniture then measure the depth from the ceiling to that item. You can have it span the full width or leave some equal space blank on each size of the print.
With a contemporary online print shop like ours, one set of photos can be printed in so many different ways. It all comes down to taste.
Take these wedding photos as an example. This modish heart collage has been wrapped in a pale pink canvas frame, giving it a soft feminine feel.
This canvas would suit a woman's retreat, sewing room or office. She loved her wedding day and wants to treasure the memories. This canvas is for her and for her alone.
Here we feature the same series of wedding photos, but have achieved a completely different look.
This look, just by changing the colour and design of the canvas, results in being less overtly feminine and therefore has a more universal appeal.
That's the beauty of monochrome. Taking away colour often ends up adding greater impact. With colour removed, we tend to spend more time getting lost in the detail.
So while its tempting to play with colour, sometimes it's worth keeping it simple.
That said, if your wedding day was all about the colour, you can print online in full colour for the same price as black and white.
Printing straight to canvas saves time and it saves money. You don't even have to leave the house!
These days, photo frames only look good if you spend a lot of money on them. Otherwise they're just crappy bits of plastic or wood that take away rather than add to the overall look.
Printing online, directly to canvas, means your photo is not only free of the trappings of a frame, but it's free of the costs of those trappings as well.
You don't have to shop for a frame and you don't have to pay to print a photo only to fork out more funds for a frame.
With online canvas printing, it's all one transaction. The photo is printed directly onto the canvas, wrapped around a frame, mounted ready to hang and delivered to your door.
Going frameless provides so many options at no extra cost. It's just brilliant.
With canvas, the frame is included but it's hidden. Your photos are wrapped around the frame. It achieves a contemporary upmarket look without the expensive price tag.
Using our online tools, you can decide how you want your image wrapped around the frame - a gallery wrap or a mirrored wrap. You can also decide to leave your wrap photo free and colour it instead.
Told you it was brilliant.
Warning! Printing to canvas online can be a stepping stone to a glass and metal addiction.
While canvas is our most affordable option, printing on acrylic glass or brushed aluminium offers something a little extra special.
While canvas has a quality finish and natural feel, acrylic glass makes your photos shine - quite literally.
If you want to take online printing to the next level of awesome, brushed aluminium is the way to go.
A baby print is cute on canvas, but it becomes incredible when printed on aluminium.
Brushed aluminum is robust, so you can hang your baby print (or other awesome print of choice!) in a number of different spaces throughout your home.
Brushed aluminium is sleek and stylish, so it becomes a wonderful addition to areas of your home where you may otherwise only choose to feature high art.
When printed on metal, your baby photo instantly becomes high art.
Leaving aside talk of babies for a moment, metal prints are a wonderful material to display funky urban art and fine photography.
The way brushed metal catches the light means it can look different from one moment to the next depending on the type of light and viewing perspective.
It's really quite an extraordinary material.
However, if you're not yet ready to give it a go, baby steps are fine.
Fall in love with canvas first and you'll see a whole world of possibilities open up before your eyes.

Celebrate Mario Day by adding a Super Mario Kart to your Google Maps!
As always, I try to keep all my OGC readers up-to-date from time to time. So for you Mario fans, "March 10th" marks the unofficial Super Mario Day. Someone said, "Mar 10" kinda looks like Mario so the day was created.
Simply update your Google Maps app on Android or iOS today, and you'll be able to switch the usual blue navigation arrow that marks your car's position in navigation mode into Mario from his Super Mario Kart game.
All you need to-do is tap the little yellow question mark button — a familiar mystery box icon to anyone who's played Mario-related games through the years — at the bottom of the Google Maps app.
A "Mario Time" message will appear.
The only thing that would make this app cooler — the ability to switch between different Mario Kart characters like Yoshi or Donkey Kong. At this time, you can only choose Mario.
This isn't the first time Google has morphed video games into its Maps product — Pac-Man has made an appearance in the past. Star Wars fans were also given a treat back in 2015 to mark the launch of the new Force Awakens movie.
Sure, this initiative smacks of marketing — it just so happens Nintendo has a Super Mario movie and Mario Kart game in the works — but being able to traverse the streets of New York or London as Mario is kinda neat.

5 Miami Dolphins under intense scrutiny vs. Denver Broncos
This is not a viable effort by Parker. (Getty Images)
DAVIE—There are no easy ones for the Dolphins this year. They've already lost to the Jets and Buccaneers, squeaked by the Chargers when they were a disaster and barely managed to get by Tennessee when it was missing its starting quarterback.
Any thought that they're finally getting a break Sunday by facing Denver is unrealistic. The Broncos are awful, losers of seven straight, but they're only one game worse than Miami this season.
For the Dolphins to avoid another embarrassment at home, here are five players that must perform:
1. QB Jay Cutler
Isn't it funny how whoever the Dolphins play at quarterback, it makes everyone want the other guy? There is no other guy this week, unless the fans are going to start chanting for David Fales. Cutler says he's fully recovered from a concussion, and he's got no excuses this week. The Broncos are 3-8, they allow the fourth-highest passer rating in the league and they won't have top cornerback Aqib Talib.
2. S Reshad Jones
The Dolphins are counting on Jones to be one of their top two defensive players, not only this year but for the next several. He wasn't great last week other than scooping up a fumble when New England's backup center snapped it halfway to the end zone. Miami needs Jones to be more than a big hitter. He's got to be able to clean up coverage mistakes by a young secondary.
3. LT Laremy Tunsil
Mike Pouncey is the Dolphins' only offensive lineman who has graded out high on a consistent basis this year. That's not what they expected. Tunsil was the No. 13 pick in last year's draft, and Miami got rid of a veteran left tackle to make room for him. He's had some good games and some bad. It shouldn't be that way for someone chosen so high in the draft, and there's zero question he's got the physical abilities necessary to be dominant. Tunsil needs to stop sulking, get his mind right and play like a top-level left tackle.
4. WR DeVante Parker
Speaking of underachievement, here's a guy who managed one catch for five yards last week. The body language hasn't been good for Parker lately, and he's taken some blame for not fighting hard enough on at least two interceptions (maybe three) over the last two games. There are too many times when he disappears from the offense altogether, and just like Tunsil, that's unacceptable for someone in whom the Dolphins have heavily invested.
5. DE Cameron Wake
Wake's playing fine. Unfortunately for him, he's Miami's only intimidating pass rusher this season. He has eight sacks (none of his teammates have half that total) and has a very good chance of topping the 11.5 that got him in the Pro Bowl last year. For $8 million, the Dolphins are actually getting their money's worth out of Wake, which isn't something they can say about a lot of their other high-priced talent this season. The pressure's on Wake to disrupt highly vulnerable Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian, who is playing behind a line that's given up 36 sacks.

NAFTA Renegotiation Talks Speed Up
The US, Mexico, and Canada are taking efforts to make sure that the NAFTA renegotiation talks proceed at an accelerated pace. This is because the three partners to the meetings are all attempting to conclude treaty negotiations prior to Mexico's July 1st elections. Notimex, a Mexican news outlet has recently reported that an agreement may be struck as early as 15th of May.
The Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Luis Videgaray, and the Secretary of Economics, IIdelfonso Guajardo, have recently met with their US and Canadian counterparts to seek to accelerate the pace of the NAFTA renegotiation talks. The biggest point of contention in the proceedings has been related to the chapter of the North American Free Trade Agreement that deals with the rules of origin for the automotive industry. Last week Guajardo presented a counterproposal to proposals made by the United States negotiating team which would define automobiles assembled within the trading bloc as "NAFTA originating," if they are composed of 75% regional content. Both Mexico and Canada have stated that they both believe that this percentage is too high.
In addition to proposing 75% regional content for originating goods, the United States has also suggested that 40% of light vehicles and 45% of pickup trucks be built in areas with salaries equivalent to US $16 and above. Mexico proposed that the regional content for automobiles assembled in North America be 75% and that it be phased in over a period of 10 years. US trade personnel, however, rejected this suggestion at the NAFTA renegotiation talks.
In addition to the automotive sector issues, NAFTA renegotiation talks have been challenging due to other points of contention. Among them are details regarding access to markets in the agricultural sector, the "sunset" clause for the Agreement and, also, Chapters 11, 19 and 20 of the Treaty which deal with conflict resolution between the three trading partners.
In addition to the aforementioned points, other subjects of NAFTA renegotiation talks include:
Administration and Transparency
Small and Medium-Sized Business
Border Trade Infrastructure Improvement
Regulatory Practices
Technical Obstacles to Commerce
Information Infrastructure
Digital Modernization
Government Purchases
Although progress has been made on many fronts, some international trade watchers are of the opinion that if the most contentious issues of the NAFTA renegotiation talks are not agreed upon, the result will be a North American Free Trade Agreement that is neither dead or alive. Some are calling such a scenario a "Zombie" NAFTA.
