A Walk To Remember: Chapter 6 Promises
I looked at Matt then smiled. Before he knocked on the door I asked him to wait and braced myself for meeting his dad. It was going to be a long day.
I took a breath.
"Okay i'm ready."
"Hey Pap's. How are you?"
Matt gave his dad a bear hug and then smiled. His dad got a confused look on his face and looked at me. I blushed..something I happened to do a lot.
"Oh, yeah. This is Sarah. I met her at a show."
"Why, hello youngin, is Matt babysitting you?"
I almost choked on the water I was drinking.
"Haha your funny. No he's not babysitting me, in fact i'm old enough to take care of myself. I'm 14. Sorry I don't mean to sound rude but do you mind if I use your restroom, I really have to go."
"Wow, bringing home 14 year old girls now Matt? That's a new one. Anyways go right ahead, go down the hall and it's to the left."
I left to go the restroom well more like freshen up and such.
"Dad, why'd you crack that joke, you know it's not like that."
"Matt i'm not stupid. I know that. I just thought it was pretty funny."
"Well it's not, i'm just getting to know her, she seemed nice."
"If you brought home every nice person, you'd have a billion."
"Well she's different...there is something about her I like."
"Don't get to caught up Matt, you know curiousity killed the cat."
I walked out in just enough time to hear killed the cat. I almost started balling. I am very sensative to animals.
"Whats wrong?" Matt tried comforting me.
"Sorry nothing, I just thought a cat died or something, sorry I was being dumb."
"No you were not, anyways dad, Sarah would you like to get something to eat? I'm hungry."
We drove for a while and I put my headphones in. I didn't want to hear what they were talking about. Most likely sports and guy stuff,
fixing cars, and what not. It wasn't that long of a drive anyways we went to a nearby Waffle House. About mid way through the conversation Matt's dad turned and looked at me.
"So Sarah, what kind of stuff are you into? Obviously wrestling but what else?"
"Well i'm into fashion and animals. I like music a lot too. I guess i'm into a lot of stuff." "and Matt, yah i'm into him too."
I wispered the last part. But i'm pretty sure Matt heard because his eyes got huge. and He started choking.
"Hey dad can you please excuse me and Sarah for a moment I'd like to speak to her."
"Of course son, just don't take too long."
Matt grabbed me by my arm and practically dragged me to the other side of the room.
"What?" I asked stunned.
"You know what, what you said back there...your into me?"
"I didn't mean it like that, I just meant I like the way you wrestle yeah that's it."
"It better have been all you meant, look at you, your 14 and your crushing on guys who are majorly older then you."
"Look at the guy who is bringing home little girls. See whose the crazy one now?"
I shot back at him. We went back to our booth and he glared at me the whole time.
"Dad, I think i'm ready to head back home, Sarah said she's tired and i'd like to treat our guest nicely."
I knew he was just trying to find an excuse to leave. But I didn't feel like arguing with him right in front of his dad. The car ride seemed to drag on forever.
Either there was a lot on my mind or we were taking a different way back to the house. We got to the house and I said my goodbyes then went to bed. Or well into the bedroom. I figured i'd play along with the whole 'i'm tired' thing. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep.
"Dad, I need your advice."
"What about?"
"Well, what do you do when you've gotten a crush. One that you know it's wrong to even think about. In fact it's more then wrong it's sick. But you can't help but like this person. Even when it's wrong?"
"Well, Matt, i've never been there. If your talking about Sarah, I already know. Just the way you look at her and act around her, you don't lose your temper anymore like you used too, and you seem happier even when she gets on your nerves. But I can tell you this, don't do it. I know you like her, but she's 14 Matt. It's very wrong.
I know she likes you too, but she trust you, don't hurt her."
"I know dad, I know, hey i'm tired i'm heading to bed."
"Goodnight son, just...promise me you'll think about what I said."
"I promise."


Looking for a collection of the best tycoon games? A popular spel genre, there are so many available thesis days that it can be difficult to pick one to play.
This pagina features my private favourite games from the genre with a combination of options (free, paid and browser based) that will ensure everyone can find a spel that suits his or hier needs.
The games listed on this pagina suggest many different practices from rollercoasters to lemonade to being a fairy godmother. The ones on this pagina feature a review of the spel, a movie of the gameplay and any relevant linksom to play or purchase the spel.
With so many tycoon games out there, I couldn't possibly include them all, spil such I've limited this list to the 25 games that I consider to be the best. For more recommendations, embark with the superb collection available at Big Fish Games or for free online options attempt the high quality online games by Upjers.
I love thesis games and I'm always looking for fresh ones to play, so please don't hesitate to zekering by the comment section and share your own favourites.
What Is A Tycoon Spel?
At their core, they concentrate on management and building. Some have a larger concentrate on building (such spil cities, theme parks or zoos) while other concentrate more on managing finances, staff or moods of customers.
The genre's mix of strategy and creativity make it a excellent alternative to other games presently on the market.
What Is The Best Paid Tycoon Spel?
If creating a theme park, restaurant, city or business isn't something that interests you, then a resort might just be the next best thing. My Sunny Resort not only gives you control overheen a unique beach side resort but also staff, finances and even individual rooms ter your resort.
It also avoids the pitfalls of other similar games with less down time thanks to the way you'll have to interact with your guests to maximise the amount of money you make from each one. This can be spil elementary spil assigning them to a more expensive slagroom that meets their needs, selecting a restaurant for them to dine out or an activity to samenvatting the last few dollars.
This intense amount of customisation will have you spending hours on your resort spil you go from a single slagroom to an island total of volleyball courts and high profile rooms with all the luxuries you could everzwijn want a resort.
RollerCoaster Tycoon is often considered one of the very best tycoon games. Players are placed te charge of a theme park and go about building rails, hiring staff and managing the finances. Players can also vormgeving their own roller coasters to bring visitors to their park.
The spel is split into several screenplays that are ended by achieving particular objectives te a specific period. Awards are also transferred out to parks based on their safety, tidiness and the rails on offerande.
Presently, there are three games te the series and several expansion packs to go along with them. If you are interested ter playing, look for the bundled packages, which include the spel and the expansions at a nicely diminished price (while providing you access to a large amount of content).
If you want a free spel like Rollercoaster Tycoon, then check out Carnival Tycoon ( #16 on this pagina).

0-3 - VOLT - File header.
8-11 - Number of files.
12-15 - Length of the file list below.
15-?? - A string of bytes with 12 bytes for each file divided into 4 byte blocks.
____Block3 = Offset of the file info in the file list below.
First 8 bytes = File offset.
Next 8 bytes = File size.
Next ? bytes = File name (null 00 terminated).
Then it just has the file bytes stuck on at the end.
So, I've got everything figured except for that 1 unknown block above, which is the only thing keeping me from writting an extractor and rearchiver. AFAIK, it's always a very large number that is greater than the entire archive file size. What's even wierder, is that when I used a hex editor to try rewritting some of these blocks to see if they were important, it only crashed some of the time.
I tried checking http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Bionicle, but they don't know what it is either (and they're slightly inaccurate).
Its strange that it's larger than the archive size. It wouldn't be the number of bits(so double the amount of bytes) would it?
Yea I can't think of anything at the moment.
I don't think so. The first unknown decimal value in 09.avl is 355529020 but the file is only 624639 bytes long. I can't think of a reason why there would need to be more information to extract the files, but apparently the game needs these values. Does Game Extractor properly re-archive general.vol?
The files are not compressed are they? I guess even then there would be no way to compress the files THAT much.
I don't know if GE does, I know it's based of Xentax and it didn't extract the Lego Racers Jam file correctly.
The text files are in plain view in the hex. Just the opposite it would seem. There are a ton of 0x69 (the letter i) bytes padding up the file size.
So did you re-archive with GE? If so, are the unknown bytes different from the original?
I don't have a full version of Game Extractor, so I don't know if it changes or not.
Let's wake this topic back up, because I'm interdasted.
avl and vol files contain level data, to some extent (or then general.vol is hiding stuff from me). The AVL files cotain PCAs, while the VOL files contain PCMs. It's possible, but I doubt, that the PCM files are audio, while the PCAs are definitely not (the audio codec wasn't even around at the time of the game).
We should focus on extracting these files, which I can't even see a legible header for. 10 is bigger than 09, and I'm going through the others shortly.
Agreed, I'm trying to get the debug info working. Also Hiya JR, long time no see.
Howdy! You should be able to do it with a hex editor. I've done it before and it added a bunch of debug text to the screen, but that's all.
Well the first thing I tried was with the Gamecube version. On the Gamecube there are no vol or avl files, everything's just laid out loose in the ISO just like Bionicle Heroes, (no giant .dat file). Unfortunately, editing the game.txt file had no visible effect.
The main thing I'm trying to access is the level select. I'm very curious to see if there are any remnants of the beta Lewa Mata level still in the game.
How'd you save it? Were you just running an .iso in an emulator?
Neither, I was running it through DML on the Wii fully extracted onto an SD card.

Diving regulators and their accessories are an essential item of dive gear; owning your own offers divers the comfort of knowing where and what your regulator has been through and that it has been properly serviced. Having your own regs also means the mouthpiece is your own, so it is clean and has not been in anyone else's mouth!
Many divers often buy their own regulators once they have logged a few dives or had a bad experience with rental kit.
Regulators are usually sold in three parts; The 1st Stage and Primary together, an Alternate Air Source & a Submersible Pressure Gauge.
When you buy a regulator the first part to buy is the 1st Stage and Primary, then the Alternate Air Source and Gauges. The hose for the BCD is supplied with the BCD itself.

4A GIRLS SOCCER: Salpointe beat Thunderbird 4-0
February 11, 2017 by Andy Morales, AZPreps365
Salpointe Catholic Thunderbird Soccer - Girls (W)
Thunderbird senior Jody Hernandez (10) provided most of the offense for the Chiefs.
Salpointe was the dominate team last year, sporting a 23-1 record and a top-seed heading into the Division II state final against Notre Dame. Notre Dame went on to win that championship 1-0, a year after they won another title.
Notre Dame was used to winning. The 2016 championship was the third title and fourth finals appearance since 2009 for the program. Salpointe? The Lancers hadn't been that close to a trophy since 2001.
"We didn't know that feeling," head coach Becky Freeman explained. "A big part of winning is experience and we came in calm and confident this year."
Seeded fourth this year with an 18-3-2 record, Salpointe came in and beat No. 2 Thunderbird 4-0 in a game that was never in doubt.
Kate Connelly put Salpointe up 1-0 in the 17th minute, Kalista Kakou found Catalina Alvarado in the 45th, Paloma Teran scored in the 60th and Kakou found the net in the 77th.
Kakou had a goal taken away in the 59th minute when it was determined she pushed off on the keeper on a one-on-one situation.
In all, Salpointe outshot Thunderbird 14-4 with no real threats coming from the Chiefs. Things got difficult for Thunderbird before the match even started when junior keeper Kayla King separated her shoulder in pre-game warmups. She was replaced by senior Kiara Pasillas and Pasillas, herself, was replaced later in the game due to another injury.
"In all my years, I have the most respect for this team and the most fun," head coach Angelo Iozzo said. I have really enjoyed the last three to four months. I have tears in my eyes today but I know they will be replaced with smiles when I look back."
Iozzo said he felt confidence in Pasillas because she was the keeper last year. Pasillas came up big with a save on a penalty kick in the 48th minute.
"This is honestly hard to put into words," Freeman added. "They worked so hard and I am proud of them."
Freeman played at Salpointe before moving on to play for the University of Arizona. The Lancers have five state championships now with the last previous coming in 1999.
Coincidently, Thunderbird (16-2-2) won the last of two titles in 1999.

Breaking Down Walls: The Fight for Open Government
Dated: March 16, 2015 by Sharyl Attkisson Leave a Comment
The following is a reprint of a "University of Florida News" article
Investigative journalist and author Sharyl Attkisson will speak on "The Rightful Owners of Public Information" on Thursday, March 26, at 6 p.m. in Weimer Hall's Gannett Auditorium on the University of Florida campus.
Attkisson's speech will kickoff "Breaking Down Walls: The Fight for Open Government," a two-day conference focused on freedom of information issues. The conference is sponsored by the Joseph L. Brechner Center for Freedom of Information, the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications, Holland & Knight, and Thomas & LoCicero.
Immediately following Attkisson's speech, a panel discussion will be held on "Hitting the Wall: Reports from the Frontline of the FOIA Battlefield." Panelists include Terry Anderson, a former AP reporter who was held hostage in Beirut from 1985-91 and chronicled his days of captivity in the book "Den of Lions," Ted Bridis, head of AP's national investigative team in Washington, D.C., and attorney Tab Turner, who has fought a number of battles over the release of government records.
Attkisson's speech and the panel discussion on Thursday evening are free and open to the public.
Attkisson, a 1982 telecommunication graduate of the UF College of Journalism and Communications and a College Alumna of Distinction, is author of the New York Times bestseller Stonewalled, which addresses the unseen influences of corporations and special interests on the information and images the public receives every day in the news and elsewhere.
"This FOIA conference is made possible by a generous gift from Sharyl," said Diane McFarlin, Dean of the UF College of Journalism and Communications. "This is a critical issue for our nation, as well as for journalism and we are pleased that so many of the nation's leading experts on freedom of information issues will be here to participate in this conversation."
For 20 years, Attkisson was a correspondent for CBS News. In 2013, she received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism for her reporting on "The Business of Congress," which included an undercover investigation into fund-raising by Republican freshmen. She also received Emmy nominations in 2013 for "Benghazi: Dying for Security and Green Energy Going Red." Additionally, Attkisson received a 2013 Daytime Emmy Award as part of the CBS Sunday Morning team's entry for Outstanding Morning Program for her report: "Washington Lobbying: K-Street Behind Closed Doors."
In 2012, Attkisson also received an Emmy for Outstanding Investigative Journalism for the "Gunwalker: Fast and Furious" story. She received the RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Investigative Reporting for the same story.
Before joining CBS, Attkisson was an anchor and reporter at WTVT in Tampa, WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio and WTVX-TV Ft. Pierce/West Palm Beach. She began her broadcast journalism career in 1982 as a reporter at WUFT-TV, the PBS station at the University of Florida. In 1997, she received the University's Alumna of Outstanding Achievement Award honoring 47 women who have attended the University since its opening.
For those interested in attending the conference, please email ssilberman@jou.ufl.edu or call the Brechner Center at (352)392-2273. For more information on the conference, visit http://www.jou.ufl.edu/about/programs-initiatives/breaking-down-walls-the-fight-for-open-government/.

Crash in Phoenix I-10 EB tunnel backs up morning traffic to 75th Ave.
Long delays are expected and drivers are urged to find alternate routes as a crash blocks the right three lanes inside the tunnel.
All lanes have reopened inside the eastbound Interstate 10 tunnel in Phoenix after a crash earlier blocked the right three lanes for hours.
Backup on the I-10 at one point reached all the way to 75th Avenue, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. The backup now extends to 51st Avenue.
The crash occurred at 4:57 a.m., just before the morning rush hour was to begin. A passenger and commercial vehicle collided inside the tunnel, and the commercial vehicle began leaking fuel.
The lanes were closed as crews worked to clear the accident and fuel spill.
Traffic signals on McDowell Road and Van Buren road have been adjusted to help move traffic along for drivers using those roads as alternate routes.

Okay, so I'm very excited to share that I had my first crochet demo at Michaels in Pinellas Park Florida last Saturday. Yay me!!! The demo went great and I had lots of people stop by my table to see what I was all about. Lots of Oooooh's and ahhhhh's over my plethora of creations (quite a self-esteem boost). Only a few gave their information so I could send them future class information but that's okay because I believe I planted a few seeds that day.
I also had another first, this past Wednesday I had my first crochet class at Michaels (again in Pinellas Park Florida). Double yay!!! Thus far any teaching I've done has been for free so nice to have a paying gig right?!! Okay, so it was only one student but she was a fabulous one creating an excellent first time experience. The funny thing is people have often said "you're too young to be a crocheter", "crocheting is for old people", and "crocheted things are kinda boring", well my fabulous first time student was a young lady (way younger than me) LOL. And boy did she flourish; I actually asked if she was clowning me about her crochet experience because she learned so quickly and had such nice even tension. And, yes she does plan to come back to learn more!!! So, all in all it was an excellent first class. Thank you to the Pinellas Park Florida Michaels team for the support!!!
Okay and finally my last first that I want to share tonight, I had my first male student today! Woot! Woot! Go Terry, shake yo booty, go Terry share what yo mama taught ya!!! So here's the scoop. I was at my yarn group where I volunteer and he was a staff member that had down time and at first I thought he was kidding but me and my weird sense of humor I played along and got him hook and yarn and started to go over the basics. It only took me a couple minutes to realize he was serious and truly was interested in what we were doing. So I finished covering the basics and got him started with hook and yarn. I was so proud of his efforts! This young 18 year old guy now knows the basic mechanics of the slip knot, chaining, turning, and single crochet. His interest and efforts really made my day!

Walking & Driving with Robert Mulholland: Podcasts to Enrich Your Journey
Among the recurring voices in my spiritual formation studies is that of Robert Mulholland (1936-2015). Professor emeritus of New Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary, he authored three titles which figure prominently in my work—as a person and as a pastor:
Invitation to a Journey (a landmark book, in many minds, on the meaning and nature of spiritual formation),
Shaped by the Word (a focus on a spiritual formation approach to reading the Scriptures), and
The Deeper Journey (a discussion of spiritual formation as a journey to our "true selves").
A gift to my Lenten journey this year has been the discovery of a podcast series from Ruth Haley Barton's Transforming Center. "The Deeper Journey" (hosted by Barton and Steve Wiens) has been a great compliment to some drives and walks – and a perfect way to revisit Mulholland's writings on "the spirituality of discovering your true self."
Admittedly, Barton and Wiens only brush the surface. What do you expect when they only take about 45 minutes per chapter? Still, there are redeeming aspects – as, for example, when Barton speaks of her friendship with Mulholland or when Weins speaks from his experience as a pastor. Hearing other voices can be a great way of adding new layers to old understandings.
For those just getting their feet wet in matters of spiritual formation, it might be worth noting that season 10 in the podcast walks with Mulholland's "Invitation to a Journey," a foundational text on the topic.
Lent's almost over. Still, a walk with Mulholland through the coming weeks may be a great way to consider and celebrate the great promises of transformation at the heart of our Easter Faith.

"Years ago, when my life fell apart, I heard hundreds of pieces of advice but I could not receive them. What did matter, however, were those who climbing down into my pit and cry with me, feed me, hug me, and love my kids.

It didn't matter if other people had it worse, I could barely cope with what I had."~ this is the most profound paragraph of your entire post.

Hamas minister orchestrates plans to launch attacks against Israel: Israeli report
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/world/2013-03/14/c_132231568.htm
Israel's Shin Bet security service said in a statement Wednesday that Hamas Interior Minister in the Gaza Strip, Fathi Hammad, is behind invigorated efforts to stage terror attacks against Israel from the West Bank, local media outlets reported.
The Shin Bet security agency said the questioning of newly recruited Hamas operatives, who were arrested recently in the West Bank, revealed Hammad's alleged involvement in efforts to establish new militant cells in the area. He tasked recruits with planning and executing varied attacks, including firing of rockets, suicide bombings, kidnapping and killing a soldier or a civilian, and planting explosives.
"To that end, Hammad is activating his associates, Hamas members, who work on his behalf, and through the 'Defenders of Al Aqsa' group, which was set up by him," The Jerusalem Post quoted the Shin Bet statement as saying.
The new recruits received training in manufacturing improvised weapons, including rockets, and maintained contact with their handlers in Gaza via emails and cell phones. Some were arrested by security forces just days before setting their plans in motion, the Shin Bet said, adding in its statement that the militants " received concrete instructions to kidnap a soldier, take his ID and cell phone for negotiations, and then kill and bury him at a hideout."
Israel is concerned about Hamas' increasing efforts to resurrect its military infrastructure in the West Bank, an area from which the Islamic group had launched a series of attacks against Jewish settlers and inside Israel for years before wrestling control of Gaza in 2007.
The Shin Bet noted that Hammad's active involvement in plans to launch attacks from the West Bank is "a gross violation" of an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire agreement that ended eight days of major cross-border violence four months ago.
Last week, Shin Bet disclosed that it had uncovered a Hamas cell in the West Bank city of Hebron last November, which planned carrying out shooting attacks against military and civilian targets in the area.

Watch Jerry Lewis Attempt to Solo in 'Rock-a-Bye Baby'
I'm betting this is the most awesomely stupid guitar video you'll see today.
Jackson Maxwell
By Damian Fanelli
I'm betting this is the most awesomely stupid guitar video you'll see today.
It's a scene from a 1958 comedy called Rock-A-Bye Baby, which stars Jerry Lewis as Clayton Poole, a small-town TV repairman whose former sweetheart, Carla Naples (played by Marilyn Maxwell), becomes a movie star.
We have no idea how that setup brings Lewis onto a stage, wearing a Gibson ES-175 (with P90 pickups) and singing "Rock My Baby, Rock," but it happens, and it's awesome. Check it out below.
Since Rock-A-Bye Baby was filmed in 1958, Lewis, his fake band and the song are clearly parodying Bill Haley & His Comets, who released an album called Rockin' Around the World that year and Rockin' the Oldies the year before. You can't help but fall for Lewis' hilarious dance moves and ridiculously awful guitar solos, which take place at :15 and :28.
Lewis died August 20, 2017. He was 91.

Polymorph Self Joins KFK Podcast Family
KFK has teamed up with an eminent gamemaster to launch a comedic actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. We put out a casting call back in June, and we've been hard at work since then, putting together the first 15 episodes and now here they are:
In Polymorph Self four writers/comedians, led by Dungeon Master (DM) Andy Best, play the grand-daddy of role-playing games. No previous experience is needed to listen (although we recommend starting with episode 1). Each episode is a forty-five minutes romp through a land of non-ironic elfs, goblins, human hybrids and puns.
The fantasy game world entirely created by the DM, but the story and decisions are up to our crack team, so not even the DM knows what the hell is going to happen. Listen in and be full of wonder and belly laughs as our team sleuths and battles its way through their epic journey.
New episodes come out every Wednesday on our website, on iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are available (use this this link to subscribe).
The podcast title, Polymorph Self, refers to a spell from an early version of Dungeons & Dragons that's used to transform the spell caster into any physical shape they choose. It represents both sides of the podcast: hardcore knowledge and gameplay, fun, fantasy and laughs.

15. SustainTheFuture.org – Community Garden Network Program (STF-CGN)
In a nutshell a Community Garden Network (CGN) is a locally organized community effort focused on maximizing local produce production, harvesting, and food distribution through networks within the community to eliminate hunger, encourage healthy nutrition, self-sustenance, and community bonding. Challenges each community face as it attempts to start-up a CGN are
Enrollment of private, public, and residential gardens
Volunteer engagement, mobilization, related Incentive strategies to ensure participation
Planning strategies for ensuring all produce is picked and distributed and nothing goes to waste
Sponsor engagement and food distribution partnerships to ensure produce is delivered
Frictionless sharing of best practices, tools, models
The STF-CGN mission is to create a reusable county wide model & operational framework (w/tools) for implementing community based agriculture, healthy eating, and self-sustenance as a building block for the planet.
The STF–CGN Program's mission is to create a reusable operational framework (w/supporting tools) which enables county wide communities to work together to
Maximize local garden space and productivity and increase the amount of locally donated produce in the community. Local garden space can include gardens, orchards, vineyards, groves and landscaped, etc...
Enlist local volunteers and volunteer organizations to support the planting, maintenance, harvesting, distribution, and exchange of produce, and reduction in food waste; CGN sponsors will include local food banks, local governments, leading organizations, and/or individuals/families.
Educate and increase awareness of sustainable farming and self-sustenance in the community.
Collaborate, innovate, and connect virtually and online to manage the programs and the membership community; uses an action-oriented web interface and social media to administer the program.
The target participant groups are local individuals, families, organizations, service providers and experts passionate about agriculture and aiming for self-sustenance in their community. The STF-CGN program's role is to define and implement "repeatable" programs which accrue benefits for all participant groups and leverage the volunteers in the communities. The STF–CGN Program's framework will focus on providing the blueprint, tools, and consulting required for the creation of new Community Garden Networks (CGN) (at the County level) or leveraging existing gardens, expertise, volunteers, and produce sharing activities. The framework relies on mobilization and participation from citizen, agricultural, commercial, academic, and civic constituents across the community.
The program will also engage in outreach to promote the adoption of CGNs in communities with local champions, extreme hunger issues, and opportunities for innovation to occur. Some areas of focus will be on
Best practices for enlisting and organizing the local community actors in the CGN
Advice on how to recruit private gardens and local farms to participate
Guidance on securing land and operating a Public Community farm; promoting public farms on school, prison properties; promoting ordinances for new housing developments around securing a residential neighborhood space for residential farming, ..
Best practices for identifying and enlisting volunteers in the CGN activities
Programs on growing, preserving and preparing fresh healthy, local produce
Business models and incentive options for encouraging CGN actors and providing value across the value chain (incentive schemes like produce sharing models: 1/3 Distribution Depots + 1/6 Volunteer Pickers +1/2 stays with land owner)
Leverages garden and sharing activities already occurring
The STF–CGN Program will also focus on providing tools and kits to support the operations of a CGN by
Providing each CGN (County level) an online collaboration and innovation space to
Publish and disseminate best practices, promote progress and results among members, and troubleshoot and collaborate on issues and challenges as they arise.
Enables the social aspects and community engagement
Assist in the registration and enrollment of new members,
Recruitment of volunteers like a scheduling portal (Like Volunteermatch)
Enables the exchange of produce
Enabling the creation and distribution of mobile applications which enable the operation of the CGN and the social engagement of the community members.
Providing specialized kits to support the creation of private/public farms
Planter boxes (sold by the boy scouts or local schools); Could be connected to some fund raising activities
Leveraging sponsorship opportunities through the use of Grants/fundraising where financial and service sponsors and content contributors include enthusiasts, corporate businesses, organizations, service and material providers and local experts/organizations; In addition, using retail provider coupons and offers for members (national and local)
Supporting the community with farm, garden and food-based programming such as courses, workshops, kids' after-hour and summer camps, accessible demonstration community gardens
The STF–CGN Program will also engage in outreach to promote the adoption of CGNs in communities with local champions, with extreme hunger issues, with locally directed grant funding availability, and opportunities for innovation to occur.
Our first pilot launch is scheduled for this spring for Placer County with the Placer Food Bank as the sponsor. As a proof point of what can be accomplished, Piacentino Farms and Placer Food Back recently organized and sponsored volunteer picker teams to harvest over 1400 pounds of mandarins from a neighborhood property with half of the yield going to the Placer and Auburn Food banks and half to the property owner.
Why it should be recognized:
The "SustainTheFuture.org – Community Garden Network Program" is a county wide model for implementing community based agriculture, healthy eating, and self-sustenance as a building block for the planet. We want to create, and roll out blueprints, best practices, and collaboration models to enable communities to maximize produce production, harvesting, and delivery. Through "Launch and learn" methodologies we aim to enable all counties, states and countries to implement and customize programs for the benefit of their local communities.
The benefits derived from "the communities" that we build go far beyond feeding the hungry and help to ensure self-sustenance in the communities which implement the program. The model allows for replication from county to county and throughout any state, country and of course globally with localization being critical for success in each region of the world. The good news is that the timing is right; Community gardens and the USDA's People's Garden initiative are a major part of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move initiative http://afsic.nal.usda.gov/farms-and-community/community-gardening. SustainTheFuture.org is interested in leveraging the People's Garden momentum to build a program around CGN enablement and repeatable recipes for successful implementation and operation of these CGNs. Our first pilot launch is scheduled for this spring for Placer County with the Placer Food Bank as the sponsor.

I appreciate your hard work, dedication and most of all your committment to humanity. After all, you saved my life by donating one of your kidneys to me. I am forever grateful to you. I am confident that all the future recipients of your generosity will recognize you as a positive change agent for the future and beyond.
On Mar 06, 2013	lois.townsend	said: Please show your support for this important program that addresses basic needs within our communities. Just last week I observed a line of people waiting outside the Placer County Food Closet. Let's get people and their children fed, and help property owners contribute to those in need. Thanks, John, for the initiative and organization you are putting around this...together, we can make it happen!
On Mar 06, 2013	kim.laehle	said: Great ideas with someone who knows how to implement great plans! Good luck, John!
On Mar 05, 2013	karen.zambrano	said: Your passion and hard work are more than evident in your goal to reduce hunger in many different communities. Perhaps the office of unemployment could help you recruit potential volunteers. No one wants to think of a child going hungry. All the best to You Mr. Petrera and continued success with Community Garden Network.. You are a true inspiration.
On Mar 01, 2013	rick.ambras	said: Any way possible to feed the poor in the U.S. is cool. We spend way too much time and money fighting other countries wars without really accomplishing anything. Spend the money on U.S. homeless and hungry. Take care of our own before contributing to other countries. A clear sign our politicians don't have a clear plan to feed and shelter to our own. Screw Iraq, Afghanistgan and Viet Nam. Feed and give shelter to our own. It appears that there are more hungry and homeless Americans since the great depression. Get a clue U.S. policy makers! Plus someone kill that late night asshole asking me to save people in South American. U.S. first, screw the rest.

Australia Tour of India 2023: We have given ourselves best chance, says Australian skipper Cummins on chances of winning Test series in India
Australia Tour of India 2023: Pat Cummins: Australian Test skipper Pat Cummins said on Monday that with the recent performances against West Indies and South Africa at home and previous year's tours to Pa kistan and Sri Lanka, his team has given itself their "best chance" at capturing the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Indian conditions. India will start its trophy defence at home from February 9 onwards. Follow AUS vs IND LIVE updates with InsideSport.IN.
India is a place Australia has struggled historically, having won only four-Test series in the cricket-crazy nation in the 75-year cricketing history between these two decorated sides. "I think we have given ourselves the best chance," Cummins was quoted by cricket.com.au on being asked about chances of series win in India.
Indian Cricket Team Overhaul: Big next 48 hours for Indian Cricket, Selectors set…
"I feel like we're adapting really well. Having the experience in Sri Lanka and Pakistan last year has put us in really good stead for India, no-one's going over there blind.""We will use the next few weeks to perhaps reflect on the last 12 months, and then get over there really refreshed and eager. I think we are as good a chance as we are ever going to be," he concluded his point.
The skipper also confirmed that spinner Ashton Agar and batter Travis Head, who can also bowl spin part-time, will be a key part of Australia's bowling plans in Indian conditions, which suits spinners. Pat Cummins and Co expected a spin-friendly track at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). But rain ruined the plans of Aussies as the pitch stewed under covers and heavy clouds instead of baking and crumbling under normal conditions.
Spinners struggled under such conditions and with both sides combined, they returned back with figures of 4/437 in almost 300 overs. But performances from Agar and Travis impressed Cummins and he confirmed how crucial they will be for the BGT next month. Australia's last series win past 50 years came in 2004 and the touring party will be announced this week.
India Playing XI 1st ODI: Jasprit Bumrah set to RETURN, Rohit Sharma &…"Ash will be there, a left-arm orthodox … he will absolutely be there. It was not an audition at all (for the India tour). This wicket's (SCG wicket) a bit different to India, it was not really spinning out of the middle of the wicket," said Cummins.
INDIA U19 Women Cricket Team: Shafali Verma & Co begin WARM-UP for Women…
"An Indian wicket sometimes really breaks up, even from the middle of the wicket, and a left-arm orthodox becomes a bit more effective against right-hand batters. I thought he did really well," added the skipper. The Indian team is without the services of its young star Rishabh Pant, who is undergoing treatment after a recent car accident. India has a lot of right-hand batters at the moment. Australia were keen to see that how Agar will perform given his counter-point to Lyon's off-spin.
Lyon was the only spinner who took multiple wickets on a Sydney surface where the seamers dominated, taking two scalps in SA's first innings. He will be a key part of Aussies' strategy of slow bowling in India where conditions can vary. Cummins also indicated that Australia wants to have all their options, like Head and occasional leggies Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne available for the series.
Cameron Green's return from a finger injury will also strengthen the side, admitted the skipper. Green had missed the last Test against Proteas due to that injury and is not guaranteed to get fit for the start of the BGT series. The skipper said that though Green will be automatically included following his recovery, there are so many bowling prospects of for India that Australia would not confine itself to the template of two quicks, two spinners and an all-rounder.
"Cam Green bats at six, so you have got three quick bowlers which is a bit of luxury as it is . He showed his class (taking five wickets at the MCG) so no qualms picking him – you know what you are going to get, and it is quality.
"Over there, if you are picking two spinners you think it is going to be quite a spinning wicket and Travis Head, Marnus, Smudge (Steve Smith), they all come into it a bit more."
"Generally, if you are picking two spinners you are not expecting it to be a really long five-day game, and we have got some other resources there anyway." "Trav is a slightly different off-spin bowler to Nath (Lyon), a bit flatter which could be really helpful over there." "I have been really happy with how he (Head) has bowled, and probably under-bowled him even in this game." "So he will be a big part of our team over there. I think our squad will have basically all possibilities. It is a big series, so we want everything at our disposal," concluded Cummins.
Cummins said that leg spinner Mitchell Swepson, who was part of Australia's similar tour to spin-friendly grounds of Pakistan and Sri Lanka, was "definitely part of future plans for the Aussie team". Josh Hazlewood, who had featured in only one of five Tests in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, has strengthened his claims for a spot in playing eleven. Cummins also confirmed that reverse swing specialist Mitchell Starc will miss the first Test against India at least as he continues to recover from a finger injury as well.
BCCI Apex Council Meeting: BCCI calls EMERGENCY meeting TODAY as DESPERATE Byjus wants…
Hazlewood could not participate in the final Test against the Windies and the first two Tests against Proteas, but bowled excellently at SCG in the final Test where his reverse swing mastery was evident to all. Hazlewood could prove to be valuable in India while Starc could stays in sidelines. "I thought Joshy, the way he bowled throughout the whole game but especially that reversing ball, the way he can change his action and control the seam was fantastic.
"And I certainly took a little bit out of it myself. It probably was not a classic India wicket (at the SCG) as you might expect. Maybe one game it is three quicks, maybe another it is one quick. We will get over there and see," said the skipper.
Cummins said that the only negative from the rain-truncated SCG Test was that a recalled Matt Renshaw could get to bat for only 11 balls and he finished five not out, after re-entering the Test arena after five long years. He also said that Peter Handscomb, who was in SCG as a substitute fielder was also in the mix for the tour to India. Hadscomb had played his final Test of 16 Test long career against India at the SCG four years back. But he has an experience on subcontinent pitches of India and Bangladesh, where he has featured in six matches and has a solid average of 34.
"He has a huge chance over in India," Cummins said of Handscomb who has an ODI hundred to his name in India in 2019.
"He has played really well over in Bangladesh, and India he has been there before and even in white-ball he has done well over there." "He has obviously earned the right by scoring lots of runs in Shield cricket, so I am sure come selection time he will be there or thereabouts.": "It is always nice having a right-hander as well, as a different option – we have got plenty of left-handers," concluded Cummins.

Home Breaking House Urges CBN to Review Monetary Policy Rate
House Urges CBN to Review Monetary Policy Rate
Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja
The House of Representatives has called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to review the Monetary Policy Rates (MPR) to curb high lending rate, while also helping to usher in a new interest rate regime to support enterprise development in Nigeria.
The House made the call yesterday following the adoption of a motion brought by Hon. Fatoba Olusola, on the need to investigate banks' lending practices, protect borrowers from exploitative interest rates and promote economic development.
Fatoba said the current lending rate of commercial banks were as high as 30 per cent, making Nigeria one of the countries with the highest lending rates in Africa, and probably the world.
He explained that the lending rate is largely determined by the MPR set out by the CBN, hence, the higher the MPR, the higher the interest rate charged by commercial banks.
Fatoba noted that the MPR is held at 14 per cent while that of South Africa, the longtime economic rival of Nigeria is at 6.5 per cent, making Nigeria one of the top five countries in Africa with the highest interest rates.
He expressed concern that the lending rate of banks restrict lending, particularly to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), manufacturers and industrialists, all belonging to a sector which employs a large percentage of the workforce in Nigeria.
The lawmaker lamented that the lending rate impede economic growth as it impact negatively on the performance of the manufacturing sector due to the difficulty of accessing loans from banks.
He stated that the resolve of President Muhammadu Buhari to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty might be difficult to achieve if high lending rate and the challenges of having access to loans are not critically addressed.
He said with high interest rate, investors and banks were more willing to invest in government securities only, which pay high returns, a phenomenon known as crowding out, adding that high interest rate on government securities draw investments away from other areas of the economy.
According to him, high interest rate cannot both contain inflation and stimulate economic growth at the same time, while in reality citizens, small, medium enterprises, manufacturers and investors are bearing the brunt of the "cut throat" lending rate where the banks and their directors remain the major beneficiaries of the high lending rates.
After the debate, the House called on "the Central Bank of Nigeria to review the Monetary Policy Rates (MPR) and its implementation, putting into consideration the cost of doing business by banks;
"Urge the National Economic Council to critically consider how to reduce the cost of doing business in Nigeria in a manner that the common man will feel the impact; mandate the Committee on Banking and Currency to interface with commercial banks to ascertain the justification for the big gap between the MPR and the lending rates."
The House also mandated the Committees on Banking and Currency, Finance, and Industry to organise a round-table session with the CBN, Banks, the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), industrialists and industry experts with a view to finding immediate, sustainable and lasting solutions that would help usher in a new interest rate regime that would support enterprise development in Nigeria.

Most Gifted
On 'Illuminations,' Groban worked with veteran producer Rick Rubin, known for his critically acclaimed work with Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, and Dixie Chicks among many others. Groban co-wrote the majority of the songs, including 'Hidden Away,' which he wrote with Dan Wilson - former leader of the band Semisonic and co-writer of several cuts on the Dixie Chicks' 'Not Ready to Make Nice.' 'Hidden Away' was recorded live with Groban singing and playing piano, Matt Sweeney and Smokey Hormel on acoustic guitars, and veteran R&B icon Spooner Oldham on organ, with a striking orchestral arrangement by David Campbell added later. The opening piano chords and the unfolding melody evoke a timeless Americana, a thread from Stephen Foster through Aaron Copland through Paul Simon and Randy Newman, as Groban makes a heartfelt plea not to hide true love or one's true self.
'Illuminations' finds both Groban and Rubin stepping out of each one's respective zone and creating an entirely new zone. The bracing result fulfills Rubin's vision of a 'fine art' Groban record, marrying the warmth of the sweeping American roots of Groban's writing and the grandeur of classical settings by matching the live, one-take performances by Groban and the intimate, core acoustic band with colorful orchestral arrangements by David Campbell and James Newton Howard.

Within the organizational circles of the Center for Human Emergence we are guided by chaordic design for the creation of our purpose and principles. Our policy and decision-making processes are supported by ways of Holacracy. In addition, over the years, we experienced that the use and creation of specific languaging opens the space for new energy and application to come into action. A typical example is the unconventional names for the roles in which those who are active within CHE describe our accountabilities.
The Purpose and Principles are described here, the current roles can be found here.
As a governing body, CHE is organized in collaborating self-organizing teams (circles), with a high degree of autonomy. All circles decide on there own definition of roles and accountabilities, depending on the needs for fulfillment of the circle's purpose. As part of the connection to the entire CHE, each circle has representatives linked to the other circles to ensure swift, precise and efficient information sharing and feedback.
As a movement, CHE is jointly created and organized by and through each participant, who feels the intrinsic impulse to do so. This is done in the shape of salons, constellations, projects and gatherings to participate in or to be initiated by you in collaboration with CHE.
As a formal organization, CHE is a foundation with three board members. Two of them fulfill roles within the Alignment Circle.
The Alignment Circle is the executive committee of CHE NL that comprises projects, constellations and salons.
The Synnervation Circle includes CHE Synnervate that holds the commercial and customer related activities. CHE Synnervate meets and moves its customers in taking their natural next step. Synnervate works in the areas of design, development, education and research.
