Array As most Christians know, your faith is not tested when life is a breeze, but through adversity. I have learned that God is in control of my life, and I have to fully trust that he knows what is in store for me. When he told me, I knew that nine months later we would welcome a baby into our family. God has truely brought me to the point where I know adoption is His plan. After looking at a website called www.precious.org and seeing countless children that need homes, I knew this was God’s plan for me. God has truely brought me to the point of complete dependency on him, knowing that his plan is perfect. I don’t know what the future holds exactly, but I know that God has a beautiful child already picked out for me. He knows his/her name, and He knows that our lives will be complete when that child boards the plane with us.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED: 1) No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptise cats. 6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy. GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD 1) Growing old is mandatory; 7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone. SUCCESS: At age 4 success is . . . At age 12 success is . . .

I have been an Adnan Sami fan, ever since I heard his voice along with Asha Bhosle in ‘kabhi to nazar milao’. The same album contained his ‘Lift Karade’ which I totally loved. Here was this round, fat guy, who was having fun, could sing well, and laugh at himself. Why He even made fun of himself in the remix of that song. Soon songs came and songs went. Every bollywood heroine, wanted to feature in his songs, and I really didn’t mind. His songs were as beautiful as ever. In the Middle of 2006, he went into hiding. Maybe a month back, we heard that he was exercising and losing some weight. We said, ‘good for him’. A week back I heard he was back. Back with a new song, as well as a new waist line; look at him at the Miss India contest:Apparently the man now weighs 97 kilos and looks pretty happy with this achievement. Not only was he looking slimmer and trimmer last night but also appeared to be in a peppy, naughty mood while interacting with the contestants. When I saw his new song, I was floored. Not only is it a beautiful song, but it struck a chord.Have you guessed why it touched a chord? Well coz it features SXC. He reminisces about a woman whom he loved and grief over losing her just after professing his love for her, But for me it’s something totally different. I left Xavier’s just when I was having the most fun. It’s like just when I was having the most fun, I had to stop. So the Teri Yaad aati hai is for college, and the fun we had there. On a related note, you will see that they have made the first quadrangle, look like some European cafe or something. Actually the first Quad has always reminded me of Venice’s Piazza San Marco Why? The library building clearly is influenced by Doges Palace Dont believe me? Well, look at St Marks square in a 360 degree panorama: http://www.italyguides.it/us/venice_italy/doge_s_palace/doge_s_palace.htm Now come back and look at some pics of the Library Buildingand Now what do you think? I first got this image when I saw the first Quad flooded in 2003, when I had come on a rainy day. From Wikipedia: The Piazza San Marco is the lowest point in Venice, and as a result during the Acqua Alta the high water from storm surges from the Adriatic, or even heavy rain, it is the first to flood. Water pouring into the drains in the Piazza runs directly into the Grand Canal. This is ideal during heavy rain, but during the acqua alta it has the reverse effect, with water from the canal surging up into the Square.link

Paul’s Running Blog: Week of June 13th - 19th, 2005

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Array-ne It’s the week of the U.S. Open, and once again, the USGA has taken a course and done things to it to make it a very tough test of golf. While the final score at some U.S. Open sites will be at or near par, the USGA does not try to formulate a course set up that will only produce a winning score of at or near even par. How else can you explain that they take the shortest 2 par 5 holes on the course each year and waive their magic USGA wand and presto, the holes are now Par 4s? The course, for 51 weeks of the year, is a Par 72 course. The course, for that one week, is a Par 70 course, which means if you shoot 71 any other week of the year, you were 1 under par and kicking righteous butt.

I decided I would reach more people here than I would if I picked 4 people to send it to. An old lady named Granny owned the place and she peeked out of the window from time to time at all those kids. She paid 0.65 cents an hour and I could start that night.I raced home and called the teenager down the street that baby-sat for people. When I got home in the mornings I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar of my tip money–fully half of what I averaged every night.As the weeks went by, heating bills added a strain to my meager wage. I had to fill them with air on the way to work and again every morning before I could go home. One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found four tires in the back seat. The regulars all just sat around and talked through the wee hours of the morning and then left toget home before the sun came up. When it was time for me to go home at seven o’clock on Christmas morning I hurried to the car. I was hoping the kids wouldn’t wake up before I managed to get home and get the presents from the basement and place them under the tree. As I drove back through empty streets as the sun slowly rose onthe most amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude.And I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious morning. You maybe going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.Keep thefaith.My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless, I couldn’t pick 4 so I placed it here for everyone!

Is it Fran’s fault?  After all he only recruited 1 Offensive lineman in his 2 years here and took him (Grant Dickey) with him to Texas A and M.As far as it goes I don’t know and I don’t care.You will have to excuse me for being excited in the direction we are headed.  We have a great young enthusiastic coach who is willing give the credit to others and take the blame himself.  A coach that never makes excuses, and has a true love for the University of Alabama.  Oh and in case any one needs to be reminded even with all of that said we are the #3 team in the SEC – and with all of the crap we have been through – that ain’t to bad in my book.  Big deal this year LSU and Auburn had better teams than us.  But Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State, Vandy, Kentucky, Georgia and Tennessee didn’t.Now lets go win a bowl game and close up this great recruiting class.Stop your bitching and get behind the Tide.Clay

That was actually pretty appalling.Perhaps the cutest thing that happened was watching two girls in their late teens titter their way to the front of the line to eventually present Kevin with a CD of Footloose for him to autograph. It’s amazing sometimes what people consider as acceptable behavior.Anyway, Kevin used our silver Sharpie to sign things with, and after the show we helped him around backstage and stopped him from making a big mistake as he headed for the stage door to go outside and make a phone call - where he would have no doubt been swarmed.

in the SF Schools.However, to prevent the large arts organizations and wealthy arts donors from dominating the process, we need more grassroots community arts groups, artists, students, parents and stakeholder groups to inform themselves about the process and speak out to the board of education and the superintendent on your concerns.The model master plans we are looking at are LA, Chicago, Houston.We also clearly need more voices speaking out for multicultural arts and inclusiveness in arts education as well.Once completed and adopted by the Board of Education, the Arts Education Master Plan will serve as the blueprint that the School District, families, the arts community, the City, funders, and all other arts education stakeholders will use to work together to provide comprehensive sequential arts education for every student in the San Francisco Unified School District.

He’s got great lugs and I use them as often as possible, his original design is what I used as the base to carve my nature lover lugs from (I’ve been shocked at how many folks didn’t realize that I have to carve all that stuff out by hand, lugs don’t’ come cast in the shaped I used for the nature-lovers!). By the way, response to those lugs has been tremendous, it looks like I’ll be carving up more similar ones this year for other projects so keep your eyes out for more examples.Kirk’s slant six project is a really cool one, especially for me since I build lugged Mountain bikes. A very nice looking carbon shaft with a polished aluminum head shinier than the spinners on the Cadillac Escalade that cut me off this morning (if you want real spinners, check these out!).Words can’t do it justice, I’ll try and get some pictures up this weekend or next week, it’s pretty sweet.Remember me this weekend when you’re out riding your bike in the spring weather, I’ll be installing kitchen wall tile….Main Page- -

An Irish Town Planner’s Blog: Controversial scheme gets planning approval

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Array (By the way, Hendry said in his press conference that Soriano had a great makeup, a great attitude…ok, well…he must be one hell of an interview.)I know we’re a little late on the Juan Pierre thing, but this is going to be worth it (I think). Let’s go over why he might not be worth 5M…Juan Pierre at the plateWhile it’s sometimes difficult to recognize, Juan Pierre actually uses a wooden bat to hit the baseball. Juan Pierre WAS THE WORST ELIGIBLE CUB in pitches per plate appearance (3.48 P/PA). (We actually pointed this out accidentally when the Cubs signed him last winter.) Pierre is so limited in what he can do for you, the only real variable that you can hope he hits on the high end is an 80th percentile batting average of .320–something that can vault his OBP to a useful .360–because his walk rate will stay the same, and his slugging will be what it always has been (none/bad).Juan Pierre did lead the majors in hits, though.He also led the majors in outs made.Juan Pierre in the fieldThis is an interesting one.

13Fact: The VPC study only includes arrests, not convictions.Fact: Many of these arrests in this premature VPC study came in the early years of Texas CCWs when the law was not understood by most of the law enforcement community or prosecutors.Fact: Compared to the entire population, Texas CCW holders are about 7.6 times less likely to be arrested of a violent crime.14 The numbers breakdown as follows:° 214,000 CCW holders° 526 (0.2%) felony arrests of CCW holders that have been adjudicated° 100 (0.05%) felony convictionsFact: A different study concludes that the four year violent crime arrest rate for CCW holders is 128 per 100,000. In other words, CCW holders are 5.5 times less likely to commit a violent crime.15Myth: CCWs will lead to mass public shootingsFact: Multiple victim public shootings drop in states that pass shall-issue CCW legislation.1613 “Basis For Revocation Or Suspension Of Texas Concealed “, Texas Department of Public Safety, December 1, 199814 Texas Department of Corrections data, 1996-2000, compiled by the Texas State Rifle Association, www.tsra.com/arrests.htm15 “An Analysis Of The Arrest Rate Of Texas Concealed Handgun License Holders As Compared To The Arrest Rate Of The Entire Texas Population”, William E.

Last night, the Topper phalanx poked holes in Towson to the tune of 95-72. The Tops had ten players play double-digit minutes and two others logged eight minutes. The Tops ran fresh bodies at Neal all night and kept him on the run throughout the entire game.As good as the Toppers were, the weakness of their phalanx was exploited. Granted, the game was never in doubt after the Toppers used a 13-2 run to go up 22-10 with under 11 mins to in the first half, but Towson shot 16-22 from the field in the second half and most of those buckets came by getting into the halfcourt and tossing the ball over the Topper defenders. Much like the Greeks’ phalanx, the weakness of the Topper army is its backside. This will be a great opportunity and important experience for WKU.Let’s hope the Topper phalanx is not countered by a Gator atomic bomb. The Trojans need this roadie to help heal the nationally televised whipping they took at Texas Tech and the subsequent loss at Tulsa.–New Orleans at Lamar.

IT is expected that a decision by Sligo County Council to grant planning permission for a controversial development in Enniscrone will be appealed to An Bord Pleanala. The County Council last week granted approval for a scheme of 207 houses and apartments, three retail units and a creche in the resort, despite a large number of objections to the plan. The planning application by the Hannon family, Scuramore, for the major development at Carrowhubbock South, drew a lot of opposition, with over 30 submissions to the Council objecting to and expressing concern about the development. These included one on behalf of 213 residents and householders of Enniscrone, as well as a large number of individual objections. And in an unusual move, the country’s tourism authority, Failte Ireland, submitted a report, which it commissioned from leading consulting firm Brady Shipman Martin, on the development situation in the resort. The report set out that it is an assessment of the potential tourism and environmental implications of the proposed development and offers guidance so as to ensure Enniscrone developes sustainably and that new residential development does not negatively impact on the townâlink
