.”
The composition of the series confirmed the difficulty of the task. Belgium, whose record is 3.11.51, inherited the United States, the Netherlands, Poland and Great Britain as their main opponents. Either the promise of a fast time (two countries will go on time), which can be a good thing if you cannot take one of the three qualifying places.
Tactical novelty
This still young mixed event, which struggles to gain unanimous support because of its place in an already busy program and which hardly convinces skeptics, has evolved further in recent months. No more random order of competitors (which contributed to the show with large gaps between competitors and significant speed differentials depending on tactics), coaches are asked to follow the “man, woman, man, woman” scheme.. And the possibility of change is now limited to a single athlete between the two races, a situation that “favors countries with a large reservoir” judge Kevin Borlée, selected with Alexander Doom, Camille Laus and Naomi Van Den Broeck (Christian Iguacel and Helena Ponette are also in the group).
For Jacques Borlée, countries with ambitious athletes in the 400m will be tempted to spare them. “The most subtle will pass…”For £25 feed a child for a whole year!
Mighty Meals can feed a child for a whole year whilst at school for £25 - that is 12.5 p a day.

During October a team of 8 pupils and 3 staff accompanied Hugh Henderson, Mission International's director to visit the Mighty Meals project in Bweogerere, Uganda. The team were shown round the school by Pastor Emmanuel Winye who runs the school. Many of the children who attend are orphaned or abandoned and so their lives, without the help of the school and Mighty Meals, would be very much more difficult.

John Cooper of Children First in Dundee has agreed to run the Dundee half marathon on Sunday 21st June 2008 in aid of Mission International's Mighty Meals initiative in Uganda. The marathon 13.3 mile route begins in Broughty Ferry and ends in Camperdown Park. Watch out for John's speedy lightening fast times as he will be wearing a Mission International T-Shirt. If we can we will get a photo of John and post it here after the event.
Hunger pangs satisfied!
When I told a friend how much it cost to feed a child every day while at school for a whole year they could not believe me, £25 for an academic year is all it takes to make sure a child has a healthy meal every day. "That's the cost of a bi-weekly coffee and a cake!" How wonderful to know that so very simply we can make it easy for a child to concentrate on their school work now that their hunger pangs are quenched, and that their health is improving every day due to the quality food that they are receiving.

For many children the future is uncertain and bleak. Many are orphaned due to war, HIV/AIDS and personal family tragedy and for them a loving family, a roof over their head, proper clothing, medical care and an education are things about which they only dream, however Mission International has partnered with schools like the one mentioned here to bring effective change into the lives of such children. Mighty Meals makes it possible for them to grow strong physically at the same time as a quality education changes their future.
A primary school class supported by a god teacher and a healthy meal will allow these children to grow up to a more positive future.
Although living conditions are often cramped the children are secure in the knowledge that they are loved and that one day the hard work will be worth it.
Children here are using their dormitory to rest and eat their lunch, however they are happy since the alternative is to do without food and or education.
I personally cant imagine what it means to be hungry day after day, with little hope of regular food. If I don't eat its mostly because of busy-ness or a choice that I make for one reason or another, but to be a child with now means must be the ultimate in dis-empowerment. Sine starting Mighty Meals we have managed to meet the daily food needs of almost 100 kids. This of course is just a drop in the ocean, there are so many more children out there who need fed, it is estimated that a child dies every few seconds as a result of hunger in our world today, a world in which we jockey for position to see who will have the most up-to-date mobile phone and whose wedding cost the most, and what kind of profit we have made on our latest housing deal and so on. I can't point the finger, I'm just as focused on me as everyone else is.
The children concentrate as they wait for their food to be served, soon the frowns will turn to smiles.
Bweyogerere Multi-Purpose Primary School is situated just outside Uganda's capital city, Kampala. It is a bustling township with many problems, but these children know that each day they will receive a good meal.
The school is short of modern resources and so makes what it has work all the harder. The outside walls of this classroom become a permanent lesson for the children.
There are of course many who still require support, these children are orphaned and have become the charges of Pastor Emmanuel and his wife Florence, they never turn children away, making their daily quest for food and resources all the harder.

Travel theme. Theme images by djeecee. Powered by Blogger.Lately, I have been getting asked often for black and white themed weddings. These are such beautiful and bold colors, but there isn't a lot of inspiration out there using these colors. Wedding planning at Stephanie Grace Designs starts out with honing in on all the inspirations you can find to really start the process of design. We thought we would put a little black and white inspiration board together to share with everyone. There are so many ways to design in black and white...you can do preppy with white hydrangeas and black and white striped ribbons, you can go uber glam and do a black tie affair with chandeliers dripping in crystals, white orchids everyone, etc. Another great idea is to really bring in complimentary colors to the event such as silvers, platinum, charcoals, different shades of white, etc. Events can achieve a whole new tactile experience by bringing in different textures as well. So instead of a basic satin linen, one can opt for a textured pintuck, or bring in textured pillows to the lounge furniture to add dimension and reduce starkness. These are just a few suggestions to enhance an already beautiful color scheme.I had a cabin on 50.  It cost me more in insurance *afterwards* just out there with a brush cutter than buying the damn brush cutter itself because people would be using it as traffic between residences. Of course the fines would be 4x of both if not done right.
 
Then came the cabin (a barn really, built in the 40's) and a utility upgrade. We had our own high tension line with a step-down transformer. I repeatedly said "nope, ain't doing it" but it had to be done. I mean I could walk around the entire line wouldn't without seeing a soul but some kid walks by and trips over a damn chunk of limestone or searching for arrow heads... I didn't even need to sign a permit or a waiver, but you know when you are on the same line as a hospital somewhere 10 miles away you are GOING to need new hookups which require permits. OH, yea, look at that, red and black wire. Mail order from Montgomery Ward in the 50's. Red is hot in the box. Shit. Insurance spike. One would think it'd be LESS at that point.
 
I seriously considered just getting solar panels and a generator and going all DIY on the place under the radar, but I'd STILL be in the same frying pan in the fire. But there was that one time I walked out, coffee still in my hand, standing there was a huge buck and his tiny little 4 does at his tail who just stood there on a path right outside of the cabin (with a stove from the 40's I think). Hell, I didn't even need a blind or stand. There was no way I'd just go inside to get a bow or rifle. Toasted them with my coffee while we played stare-eyed. Let 'em go, sometimes coyotes would get to one of them, but it was still worth it in the long run.
