Our History
|It seemed like a lonely journey devoid of the presence of God, when Bishop Dag Heward-Mills began ministering the good news of Jesus Christ to the lost souls of the world. This vision has not faded, but has intensified to the point of desperation because Christ's coming is imminent. This vision has birthed Lighthouse Chapel International and many other ministries, confirming the tangible presence and will of God. To God be all the glory as we remember and record our small beginnings and how far God has brought us.
When he gained admission into the University of Ghana Medical School in October 1982, 'Brother' Dag as he was known as at the time, began a branch of Calvary Road Incorporated (CRI). This group was made up of young vibrant Christians reaching the world through Music and Drama. In that same year 'Brother' Dag met Sister Adelaide Baiden on campus during one of his many follow-up visits to her hall of residence while trying to start CRI.
The group attracted both the curious and those hungry and thirsty for the Lord and one such person was 'Brother' EATS who turned up one November day in the same year at a CRI meeting. Inspired and burning with a zeal shared by 'Brother' Dag, EATS decided to join CRI.
However events took a different turn when the government of the day closed down Universities for ten months. Towards the end of 1982, 'Brother' Dag left the country for England and worked under the Leadership of Pastor Michael Bassett in Victory Church. The burning desire to share the gospel was very much alive in his heart and so he channelled all his energies into music and the follow up ministry of the church where he met Robert Dodoo who became deputy head Usher of Victory Church. The two carried on in their various roles in church while maturing in Christian fellowship with each other as they constantly shared their ever burning desire to share their experience of salvation with all who will listen.
When the Universities re-opened in March 1984 'Brother' Dag returned to Ghana and a resumption of CRI meetings. On 22nd October of the same year 'Brother' Eddy a first year student turned up at one of the meetings and decided to join CRI. A relationship which was fuelled by a love for God and for humanity began to form among the three 'Brothers' who continued working assiduously to share the gospel, in addition to studying.
In spite of stirrings by the Spirit of God to resign from CRI while still at Legon, 'Brother' Dag stayed on and still carried on with his duties at CRI. As he prayed for, visited, counselled and interacted with members of both sexes he decided on a relationship with Sister Adelaide Baiden on August 26 1985. At the time he was on a community health rotation at the Medical School.
In September of the same Year 'Brother' Dag was transferred to Korle-Bu with the rest of the MB III class of the Medical School. This signalled the beginning of yet another group who met to pray at the Korle-Gonno beach from 10PM TO 12AM every night. Unfortunately, the nightly prayer meetings were brought to an abrupt end when the group was attacked by drug addicts on the beach.
Undeterred, the meetings continued on the Indadfa Park but this was also terminated because of an attack by some armed men. Then started the Dawn Broadcasts or simply put, preaching at dawn. Even though 'Brother' EATS preached his heart out, it was immediately met with hostile opposition and an unpleasant reaction from the Medical students.
In the midst of this hostility, in 1986, Dawn Broadcasts were also started at the NTC's House 10 where a lot of souls were won to Christ that dawn. These precious saints became the first members of CRI Korle-Bu branch. Finally heeding to the leading of the Holy Spirit to leave CRI and to begin a church, 'Brother' Dag made his assistant at Legon, the leader of CRI Korle-Bu. This was also in preparation for his imminent departure from CRI.
The Korle-Bu branch soon began to meet for Sunday Services at the Korle-Bu Christian Centre and 'Brother' EAT preached at the first service at the Medical School Auditorium. Subsequent services however, were held at the school of Hygiene Lecture Room. This arrangement was short-lived because the Head of Anatomy Department refused to allow the fellowship to continue meeting at the auditorium. Even though the climate seemed discouraging and the prospects daunting, the fellowship continued to meet at the School of Hygiene Lecture Room on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings as well as having all-nights in the open forecourt of the Medical School Auditorium. As expected the church came under attack and persecution from Medical Students who claimed that their worship was a nuisance to them. Following on, a delegation of Medical Students led by a female met with the Dean of the Medical School, Professor Akyeampong requesting that the church be closed down or relocated.
The Dean contacted the Principal of the School of Hygiene on this matter and even though the outcome was in favour of the church as they had the Principal's full support, the CRI Headquarters objected to the holding of Sunday services, indicating that their vision was not to start a church at this time. 'Brother' Dag then resigned from CRI and a few weeks later his assistant who was in charge of the CRI Korle-Bu branch also resigned, leaving the fellowship without a leader.
Soon after, 'Brother' Dag informed 'Brother' EATS of his intention to start a church. 'Brother' EATS was in full support of the decision but anxious about its viability and potential success so he suggested that the church begun in Nsawam, a small town not far from the capital Accra
In 1987, in the early hours of the New Year at Mensah Sarbah Hall, Legon, 'Brother' Dag decided to obey God and become a Pastor. He informed 'Brother' Asamoah and 'Brother' EATS of this final decision to take up the role of pastoring the remnants of Korle-Bu Christian Centre (KCC). Following this decision, CRI Headquarters officially dissociated themselves from 'Brother' Dag and KCC. To drive home their point, the entire executive of CRI came to KCC; into the School of Hygiene Lecture Room on a Sunday morning and delivered a letter, officially ex-communicating 'Brother' Dag. The executive were not given the chance to address the congregation but their message and letter were received upstairs after the service. 'Brother' Dag announced to the fellowship that he was now their pastor much to the dissatisfaction of some of the leadership who therefore became disloyal to his cause. In the same month, Pastor Dag decided to change the name of KCC to 'The Lighthouse' because he believed that the vision of the Lighthouse extended beyond the suburb of Korle-Bu. More of the original group that formed KCC however became disenchanted with Pastor Dag's leadership and criticised him endlessly.
In September 1987, 'Brother' Eddy Addy who had completed his course at the University decided to attend 'The Lighthouse' regularly along with EAT Sackey and 'Brother' Jake Godwyll. They went on the church's first ever crusade at Agbozume. As events progressed, the main assistant of Pastor Dag came under immense pressure from certain pastors in the town to leave 'The Lighthouse'. At the same time, another pastor who had once been a regular attendee to CRI meetings when Pastor Dag was leader, refused an invitation to preach at 'The Lighthouse' claiming that he did not 'sow among thorns'.
As God had purposed, the church expanded even amidst intense disloyalty and members spilled onto the upstairs corridor of the School of Hygiene. Under the direction of the Holy Spirit Pastor Dag decided to make changes to the leadership of the ever growing church and in December 1987, during a meeting at the Medical Students Hostel. Bro. EAT Sackey became Pastor Dag's assistant and the leader of Tuesday services.
So began the new year of 1988 with a new team of leaders assisting Pastor Dag. In April 'The Lighthouse' moved to the School of Hygiene Lecture Theatre downstairs with its 100 members and soon had to move upstairs because membership doubled. Subsequently KCC became officially known as The Lighthouse Chapel and so began its vision of being a lighthouse to the lost.
In the middle of building a church and winning souls for Christ, Pastor Dag completed his medical studies on 10th March, 1989 and qualified as a Medical Doctor. A month later, on April 1, he started work as a House Officer based at the Paediatric Surgical department and then followed this milestone with the blessing of his marriage to Sister Adelaide Baiden on June 8th 1989. Pastor EAT Sackey had the immense pleasure and honour of officiating the ceremony between Pastor and Mrs Dag Heward-Mills at 4pm, at the Trinity College, Accra Ghana.
Prior to this, LCI had moved to the Medical School Canteen for Sunday services while week day services were held at the Basic Sciences Department. Here many successes were celebrated including the church's first wedding between Mr and Mrs Bernard Brocke.
In July of the same year, the church moved its offices to N46 at the House Officers' flats. That same year in September, Pastor Eddy relocated to Akuse to take up a new position with the Volta River Authority.
Pastor Dag rendered an apology to the leaders of CRI for the error he committed towards them at the inception of The Lighthouse Chapel and in the spirit of love; the CRI leadership assured him of their forgiveness and a restoration of relationship.
With the vision of reaching the lost beyond Korle-Bu still in focus, Pastor Dag changed the church's name from The Lighthouse Chapel to The Lighthouse Chapel International on 23rd December, 1989. A week later there was a celebration of marriage between Pastor and Mrs Dag Heward Mills at the Commonwealth Hall Chapel followed by a reception at Mamfe Hall, Gimpa, Accra.
Pastor Dag still combined work as a House Officer and lay Pastor without compromising on prayer. Many times during prayer retreats he held in Akuse with Bro EATS and Sis Cynthia, Sis Adelaide, Bro Eddy and Sis Adina, the Lord spoke, encouraging the vision.
In 1990, Pastor Dag officiated his first wedding between Pastor EAT Sackey and Cynthia Acquah. Soon after in the same year Pastor Dag was ordained at the Victory Church, Finchley Road in London by Pastor Michael Basset and was also extended an invitation to preach at the same church.
Due to church growth, with a 500 membership, LCI International started double services in the canteen. In the meantime Pastor Dag did odd jobs in Europe to raise finances that will enable him launch into full time ministry and with additional financial support from his sister.
Many years have come and gone since those early days …
|Today the story is different but the vision is still the same. The intense passion for soul winning that fuelled the ministry of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is ever so alive. The Lighthouse Chapel International church he founded has indeed grown beyond it's initial location, Korle-bu and has more than 1550 branches in 66 countries world-wide. The young man in whom the Lord placed a compelling desire for soul-winning is a pastor of thousands with his headquarters at the Qodesh – one of the largest, ultra modern complexes in Africa.
He is also a renowned healing evangelist who has taken the gospel of Jesus Christ to some of the remotest, unreachable places in Africa. Healing Jesus Campaign, one of the many ministries the Bishop is engaged in, stops to share the same message – Jesus loves, Jesus saves and Jesus Heals. Many lives have been transformed and touched by the Bishop, who once again, heeded the call of God to fulfill the great commission. Healing Jesus Campaign has been in operation since 2003 with the testing of a tent in a field belonging to A.M.E Zion Church, to major campaigns that attract up to a million people. To date, just to mention a few, the Healing Evangelist has held over 80 campaigns in over 41 towns and villages in Africa, has facilitated more than 9 million decisions for Christ, and is still forging ahead.
With the wisdom of God the Bishop has moved on from being the usual Sunday service preacher into a prolific author of over 30 books. He is the author of the bestselling book of all time 'Loyalty and Disloyalty', among many others, on the Anointing, Leadership and Pastoral Ministry. There are currently over 6 million books in print in 8 different languages including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Amharic and Korean. His dynamic radio and television ministry also reaches millions across the continents of Africa and Europe.
The Bishop's vision to empower men to work for God is reflected today in the many camps he holds across the world. These camps have seen the birth of many missionaries for God, who made several sacrifices and gone into the mission fields to harvest souls for God. The messages preached in these life transforming camp meetings for both pastors and shepherds are compiled in the Machaneh – a compilation of all the camp messages preached by Bishop Dag.
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has a humanitarian ministry to widows, prisoners, the blind and the poor in society as well as the sick, as directed by the word of God. He has also founded an orphanage, the Lighthouse Christian Children's Home, to cater for orphans and a primary school, the Lighthouse Christian Mission School, to ensure their education. These outfits are under the capable management of his dear wife of over 20 years, Lady Rev. Adelaide Heward-Mills.
The Anagkazo Bible Schools, also founded by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, train men and women of God in the practical work of the ministry while preparing them to share the gospel.
Presently, The Qodesh, one of the largest and most modern complexes in Ghana, is the Headquarters of Lighthouse Chapel International. Qodesh means "The Holy Hill" and it is a soul-winning hub powering the vision. Led by the Bishops EAT Sackey and Eddy Addy, from dawn to dusk and beyond there is constant activity geared towards soul winning. Throughout the three morning services, starting at 6.30AM and the early evening service at 4.00pm (for young people), many lives are impacted on and transformed in countless ways.
There is still more to be written about one man's obedience to the call of God to be a vessel. The history of Lighthouse is still being written and until the Lord comes the vision will not change.
To God be the glory and may His will be done in the existence of Lighthouse Chapel International.

Muvi TV In Trouble - Employees Walk Out
The chaos at privately owned Muvi Television is becoming increasingly apparent, with an anonymous source leaking stories to the press.
Steve Nyirenda's Muvi TV has reportedly suffered a mass exodus of employees as a result of poor working conditions and also political bias by the proprietor.
Nyirenda is said to be fast losing the plot with half the newsroom exiting the station citing poor pay and dehumanizing labour conditions. The below letter has been anonymously sent in;
Dear Editor
For a long time now, outsiders have been given a wrong impression of Muvi television. Those outside has an impression that all is well when infact not.
To start with, the owner of the company Mr Steve Nyirenda is a failed manager himself and depends on the advise given to him by his equally failed managers who are not even qualified to hold the positions they are holding.
Mr Nyirenda does not respect any labour law in this country. He makes decisions based on his own conviction without considering whether it will hurt the workers or not. For him whatever he dreams about, no matter how wrong, should be implemented at the company.
For Example, at one point Nyirenda just woke up and decided that all employees should be removing shoes, leave them at the entrance and walk bare footed in offices for the rest of the day. This went on for almost one year in 2014 before he could reverse the decision.(Whatever that meant no one knows todate)
This is Nyirenda who would just wake up and decide to abrogate the labour laws with impunity. For example in the meeting he addressed towards the end of 2017, Nyirenda openly challenged those who were hurt to report him to the Ministry of labour if they so wished while boasting that "THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR DOES NOT FEED ME. I FEED THEM BECAUSE I PAY TAX" END OF QUOTE.
Just in November 2017, Nyirenda just woke up and called for departmental meetings where he told the workers to start operating at 25 percent, meaning One week in a month (SEVEN DAYS TO BE SPECIFIC) with the salary strictly being based on SEVEN DAYS. Now , there are workers at MUVI Television who get as low as K1,500 as salaries and the decision by Nyirenda now meant these people, especially drivers have had to get K 375 as a salary based on the 25 percent. It does not bother Nyirenda whether these people have school going children or stay in rented houses so long him is comfortable.
This is not the first time that Nyirenda is doing this…Early in 2015, Nyirenda held a general meeting at which he told the workers that he had K19 million debt and that workers should help him clear. He then decided to reduce our salaries by 50 percent and we were subjected to work two weeks in a month for three months. He promised to increase salaries for the workers afterwards but to date nothing has happened.
Getting back to the 25 percent work schedule. It should be made known that Nyirenda had been evading tax…In October 2017, ZRA Inspection officers in the company of Armed police officers stormed MUVI Television for an impromptu check on the files and it was discovered that the company owed ZRA about K2.5 Million. ZRA gave MUVI TV Two weeks in which to clear the bill or face the law. At that time, Nyirenda was not around as he was busy enjoying his life with one of his many concubines at his Fresh view homes lodge in Siavonga.
Upon seeing the uncompromising ZRA officers storm the TV station, all of Nyirenda's unqualified managers who are totally blank about management skills, fled the offices and camped on a lawn outside the office building where they alarmingly took turns in making one phone call after another to Nyirenda, telling him that ZRA officers had stormed the offices.
This prompted Nyirenda to cut short his enjoyment and rushed back to Lusaka to make the decision of paying ZRA using the 75 percent of workers' salaries. And in as much as we are aware that the man might have managed to settle something at ZRA by now, Nyirenda has taken advantage of the docile workers at the institution and has now issued a memo stating that we should get back to 100 percent operations without explaining anything on whether the salaries will also get back to 100 percent or not. Bust according to our impeccable sources in the accounts department, Nyirenda is planning to start paying us 45 percent salaries.
As most of the people know, 95 percent workers at MUVI are Nirenda's relatives , most of them Grade seven and nine drop-outs who are equally totally blank about the labour laws and can not even do anything when such decisions are made.

Boys Vs Friends
We're talking about how we could flip the script for #13ReasonsWhy, so girls like Hannah Baker don't feel like suicide is the only option - and you can be an awesome friend.
We heard from heaps of you about what Clay could have done to support Hannah when d-bag Justin shared her up-skirt photo with the entire school.
Here are some of your ideas about what Clay could do if he could rewind the tape:
- Ask Hannah "Are you OK?"
- Tell Hannah it was a sh*t thing for Justin to do and not at all her fault!!"
- Ask Hannah what he could do to help her
- Speak up when he got the pic and say you're a d*ck for sharing this
- Say something when he sees other friends sharing it, or talking about it and tell them that it's not OK. Justin's the one who did something wrong, not Hannah. Even if they DID have sex, Justin would still be totally wrong for sharing it.
When someone shares something your private pics around the whole school, it makes you feel totally violated, alone and ashamed. Clay letting Hannah know he's got her back and that Justin sharing the photo was gross and not her fault would go a looooong way.
It's SO important we stand up for our friends and other girls when people call us as "sluts". We need to put the shame where it really belongs – with the creep who shared the photo in the first place. #sharingisnotcaring.
The horrible thing is that being called a 'slut' haunts Hannah for the rest of her life. Which leads us to…
Episode 2: Jessica Davis
Like Episode 1, Everything starts off looking up for Hannah. She has a whirlwind "friend affair" with new girl Jessica, going on coffee dates and buying clothes together. Soon Alex Standall, another new kid, joins, and they become a tight three.
The group starts to fall apart when Alex leaves the girls for a group of cooler guys. Jessica finds other girls to hang out with, and Hannah's left by herself again.
Then Hannah is blindsided when she finds out that Alex and Jessica are dating. Ugh – who hasn't felt the pain of being the third wheel.
Hannah is finally left completely friendless when Jessica yells at her and calls her a slut because Alex listed her as having the 'hottest ass' in school.
Why would Jessica feel mad at Hannah about a list she didn't even write?
Why do we feel angry at other girls just because a guy likes them?
Natasha was 13 and had just started her first year at high school. She was really good at basketball and some guys had started to check her out when she played. Natasha had always looked a lot older then she was.
Sometimes that was nice, like being taken seriously, and sometimes annoying, like getting catcalled when she was 10. Jonah, one of the guys on the year 12 team, asked about her and some of the girls started saying he had a crush on her. Jonah was one of the most popular guys at school.
Once it got around school that Jonah was interested in Natasha an older group of girls started saying she was "full of herself" and "thought she was too good". They started bumping into her in the hall or calling out to her at lunchtime, but as Natasha tried to ignore it got worse.
The more attention Jonah gave her, the worse it got. He started to find her in the playground at morning tea and lunch. Natasha like talking to him, but didn't like the other attention it was getting her. The group started following her before and after school.
Natasha started coming late and wagging her last class just to avoid them. Jonah asked her out, and after saying she would think about it, she finally found a way to tell him she wasn't ready. That didn't stop his attention though, or the bullying. Her grades started to slip.
Natasha's teachers noticed she was skipping school a lot and sent her to the guidance counselor. She didn't want to, but she finally told him what was going on. They made a plan together about what to do about the girls' bullying without making things worse for her.
Why are we ganging up on each other?
A wise woman on Mean Girls once said 'you girls have GOT to stop calling each other sluts". Slapping your friend isn't reeeeeally what good friends do. What do you think Jessica would do if she could go back in time?
Why was Jessica so quick to call Hannah a slut when she saw her name on the list?
What could Jessica have done when she saw the list and got angry?
What could Jessica have done after she'd slapped Hannah?
Tell us what you think Jessica would do if she could go back in time.
Comment on social media and we'll share your ideas next week in our deep dive on Episode 3 - Alex next week!
I want MORE!
This is part of a series to help us see what we can do to help give the Hannah Bakers of the world a different ending x.

The first weekend of spring break in Seaside
was an excellent weekend for evangelism. Lots of people heard
the gospel.
We had fun. And we gave out about a thousand tracts.
We had more conversations about the gospel than we've had since
last September. A very good weekend.

Our nice high-value Scott and Cottonelle coupons reset late on Friday night or early Saturday morning. If you haven't printed them today, I think you should be able to get two more prints of each. Act fast though; these are all scheduled to disappear by Easter morning.
$1/1 Cottonelle Bath Tissue printable coupon (preclipped)
$1/1 Cottonelle Wipes printable coupon (preclipped)
$1/1 Scott Toilet Paper printable coupon (preclipped)
We also have a pretty hot deal over at Walgreens starting 4/16. Here's what I wrote earlier today about that Scott coupon:
Starting 4/16, Walgreens will have Scott Extra Soft Bath Tissue 12 double rolls on sale for $4.99. We have a store coupon we may be able to stack with this great printable coupon to pick these up for $2.99 each. The reason why I say "may be able" to stack is because the Walgreens coupon booklet says "12 big rolls" and I am not sure if it will work on these double roll packs. If I get a chance to make it up to Walgreens today, I'll ask them to scan the item and then try to apply the store coupon. If I find out, I'll update this post.
At Walgreens starting 4/16:
BUY ONE SCOTT EXTRA SOFT BATH TISSUE 12 DOUBLE ROLLS, on sale $4.99
Use the $1/1 Scott Bath Tissue 12 big rolls Walgreens store coupon, Walgreens April Savings monthly coupon booklet
and use one $1/1 Scott Toilet Paper 8 rolls or larger printable coupon (preclipped)
NET PRICE: POSSIBLY $2.99 (12 cents per single roll equivalent!)
If the store coupon doesn't come off, the net price is $3.99, which is still less than 17 cents per single roll equivalent – not bad. If your store carries the "big roll" packs instead of the "double rolls", the two coupons will definitely stack to get you a final price of $2.99.

Drunk Driving Penalties
The drunk driving penalties in Michigan are tough. Don't face a judge alone and don't assume that a guilty plea is your only option. Call now if you have been arrested for driving while intoxicated or while drug impaired. There are effective defenses against the consequences of OWI, OWPD and OWVI conviction.
For aggressive defense against drunk driving penalties. Call 248-408-7679 now for a free initial consultation
Drunk driving penalties can be reduced by a judge, or the charges may be dropped, depending upon the strength of the evidence in the case and other legal factors. It may be possible to plea bargain with the prosecutor to reduce the consequences. To determine if there is an effective defense in your case – or if you are seeking legal advice on behalf of a loved one – call my office now.
- If you are going to seek legal advice, you want to act quickly. The Michigan legislature has mandated that courts decide OWI and OWVI cases within 77 days after a person has been arrested.
- Remember that most drugged driving consequences (OWPD) are the same as OWI, and they are no different even if you were operating a vehicle while taking prescription drugs.
- OWVI (Operating While Visibly Impaired) penalties are different and do not require a blood alcohol test; they are based on the observations of the arresting officer.
Mandatory Drunk Driving Penalties For A First OWI Offense
- License suspension: even if it is your first conviction, you face a six month suspension of your driver's license. It may be possible to get a restricted license after a person has finished 30 days of a license suspension.
- Jail or community service: up to 93 days in jail and up to 360 hours of community service
- Fine: at least $100 and up to $500
- Points: six points on your driving record
- Fees: Driver Responsibility Fee of $2000 for OWI ($1000 per year for two years)
High BAC: there are steeper drunk driving penalties for a first conviction with a "high BAC," which is a blood alcohol concentration of .17 or higher. You stand to lose your driver's license for a full year. It may be possible to get a restricted license after 45 days but the law requires you to agree to installation of an ignition interlock device (a breathalyzer on the ignition) on any vehicle you would be operating. You may be ordered to participate in alcohol treatment, education classes or in a self-help group. Jail time could be up to 180 days. Fines could reach $700.
Mandatory Drunk Driving Penalties For A Second OWI Offense
- Jail and community service: if convicted of a second offense within 7 years after the first, you face a minimum of five days in jail and could be sentenced to up to one year in jail, or 30 to 90 days of community service. You could also be sentenced to both.
- Fine: $200 up to $1000
- License revocation: a minimum of one year (a minimum of five years if it was revoked within the past seven years)
- Vehicle immobilization: for 90 to 180 days, or you may have to forfeit your vehicle
- Points: six
- Fees: Driver Responsibility Fees of $2000 over two years
- Rehab: the judge must order you to complete rehab (alcohol or drug treatment), or you may be sentenced to attend a self-help group such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), or another education program.
Felony Drunk Driving Penalties For A Third OWI Offense
A third OWI conviction is a felony in the state of Michigan.
- Prison time: because it is a felony, incarceration would be in a state prison, for one to five years
- Fine: $500-$5000
- Probation
- Community service: 60 to 180 days
- License revocation: you could lose it permanently
- Vehicle immobilization: 1 to 3 years
- License plate confiscation
- Forfeiture: you may have to give up your vehicle.
- Points: six
- Fees: a Driver Responsibility Fee of $1000 per year for two years
It is also a felony if drunk or drugged driving causes a death or serious injury to someone else. Whether it is your first, second, or third offense, call my office today for a free assessment of what I may be able to do for you.
Call 248-408-7679 now for a defense lawyer. I can come to you, or you can come to my office
Call Attorney Kathryn L. Simmons if you face drunk driving penalties in Lake Orion, Orion Township, Rochester Hills, Oxford, Clarkston, Auburn Hills, Waterford, Pontiac, Bloomfield Hills, Troy, Macomb County and the Oakland County Circuit Court. No attorney or law firm can guarantee the outcome of your case.

Department Vision:
Biology is the study of 'Life, in all its fullness'!
The 21st Century will be an era of bioinformatics, biotechnology and environmental concern and consequence. The Biology department aims to provide pupils with the necessary knowledge, understanding and skills which allow them to make informed decisions about issues which will affect their own and others' lives so that they can become effective contributors to the societies of today and tomorrow.
We aim to enhance and develop our students' Scientific skills encouraging them to become independent learners who know 'How to Work Scientifically' and are capable of recalling, applying, analysing and evaluating biological knowledge & understanding. The department aims to motivate and inspire pupils thus raising standards within the subject.
The courses we currently offer, and will offer in the future, will allow pupils to create and move along a personalised pathway suited to their own individual aptitude and interest.

Summer Inspiration
I love sharing my exciting finds, and hopefully helping you find some inspiration too!
This summer I've been obsessed with the following:
Summer to be means loads of smoothies, and substantial salads. I need substance, not lettuce leaves . Although this lunch/dinner is cooked, I let it cool down to room temperature. What I really love about it though is it's a one pan dinner. Amazing! Find the recipe here.
For Smoothies, I've been turning to Lola Berrys most recent book for some summer inspiration. Too often I get lazy and it ends up being berries, coconut water / milk and flaxseed. Boring! Find her book here.
I'm absolutely in love with Gabrielle Bernstein Miracle membership. Every month you get access to a new podcast, talk and a meditation on a different topic each month. Absolutely keeps my inspiration tank full, and it a constant reminder to live in the present. Find out more about it here.
I'm going to see Danielle La Porte next month and I'm so excited! This women completely chase my mindset around goal setting, and I'm super excited to be doing her big beautiful book plan this year. If your in Sydney and love her, there might be tickets left here if your lucky.
Books and documentaries:
I haven't been watching any documentaries, I tend to spend a lot more time outside in summer, so tend to load up on them in winter.
But books have a special place in my heart, I always find time for them, and they can come to the pool with me – win win.
Tony Robbins, Master Your Money – With a big move on the cards for us this year AND saving up for a house deposit, It felt time to dive deeper into this topic. I absolutely love Tony's energy and think this is a great resource for anyone who wants to educate themselves on this topic more. As a society we are so ashamed to talk about money, but I just believe its energy – it ebbs and flows, and just try to be mindful with it.
Gabrielle Bernstein – The universe has your back. As mentioned we are planning a big move this year, so it's been imperative that I change my mindset to one of believe and not fear. This book and Gabrielle has been an integral part of shifting my mindset from fear into a place of love and giving me the confidence to chase my BIG dreams.
What's inspiring you this season? Let me know in the comments below, so I can check it out x

Big Dicks At School is probably my favourite site for student, teacher, college and classroom fantasy porn. This site from johnnyrapidtube.xxx keeps coming up with new series and new ideas for how horny hardcore might happen among the guys who live at this college of cock. Here we've got a bit of a double whammy as not only do we have the start of a new series, Spring Fever, but the virgin series opens with two virgin guys; at least two new models for the site, versatile bubble butt bottom Johnny Rapid and cut top Donny Forza, both appearing in their first porn flick for this top site.
The scene starts with some of our sexy students arriving at their new frat house and taking a look around. It's a big house, it's even got a pool, and while most of the guys dive straight in there, Johnny Rapid has other ideas and checks out the master bedroom with Donny, locking the door carefully behind him. He gets straight to work on Donny's cock, right through his skimpy red shorts, and Donny doesn't put up much resistance, he lets the cute student go down on his cock and gets it nice and hard for him. Johnny's lips wrap around the shaft perfectly as he swallows it all before offering his own.
Donny's up for some of that, I mean why not? They are friends and frat buddies and so he starts sucking Johnny's cut cock while still stroking his own. But, after all, Donny is supposed to be straight and so he needs to fuck something, and when there's no pussy then Johnny's ( click here for his twitter account )tight ass will do instead. Johnny offers that up willingly too and is soon on his knees on the bed with his buddy right behind him, drilling his hole slowly and calmly at first. But things do heat up and Donny grabs Johnny's hips, pulling him back harder and faster onto his solid shaft.
The guys fuck like this for a long time before Johnny decides to sit on Donny's dick instead, facing him so he can run his hands over Donny's smooth, muscled chest. The guys talk dirty as the fuck which makes this an even hotter scene and they both lose themselves in the moment which sparks off chemistry and makes thing very realistic. Donny finally pulls out so he can gay cum over Johnny's chest and Johnny drops his jizz onto his flat stomach.
I reckon we are going to see a lot more of these two young bucks in the future, at least I hope we are. It's a great debut performance and I can't wait for more of these guys and this series.

Police looking for suspect in east Macon shooting
Macon police are investigating a shooting that happened late Friday in the Fort Hill neighborhood in east Macon.

See: Accompanying Unemployment Table - pdf
Unemployment in Tama County stood at 7.9 percent in February, essentially the same rate as January and just slightly higher than the February, 2013 rates. There was a total of 680 workers listed as unemployed in February as in January.
However, the figure is up from 5.8 percent unemployment two months ago when 500 were recorded out of work.
The Tama county unemployment rate is the 5th highest among Iowa's 99 counties.
How much of that jump can be attributed to the loss of some 90 jobs at the Iowa Juvenile Home / State Training School for Girls in Toledo has to be measured with consideration of other factors Kerry Koonce, Iowa Workforce Development spokesperson, told The Toledo Chronicle.
This includes seasonably adjusted employment rates that are not made monthly for counties and the total number in the county workforce which dropped from 8,030 to 8,000 in February, she said.
Article PDFs
Koonce said the 90 IJH jobs would be recorded in the Tama County figures regardless of the county of residence of the employees.
Koonce also said the unemployment rates of Allamakee County at 8.7 percent and adjacent Clayton County at 8.2 percent are historically high in February due to the large number of workers in those counties who are employed in seasonal construction jobs.
State-wide, the seasonably adjusted rate was 4.4 percent unemployed in February. A Workforce Development news release said the state has the highest number of employees in five years.
The U.S. unemployment rate for February is listed at 6.7 percent for February.
Call For
Emergency Unemployment Benefits
In an Iowa media telephone conference call on Wednesday, a push was made for reinstatement of emergency unemployment compensation by the U.S. Congress.
The program expired in December, 2013.
Katherine McFate, President and CEO of the Center for Effective Government, Danny Homan, President of AFSCME Iowa Council 61 and Bob Shultis, Cedar Rapids, who recently regained employment after more than two years without a suitable job all called for Congress to pass funding for the program.
They contended the effect on unemployed workers who are unable to find new jobs is "devastating" and many are in danger of losing their homes, retirement money and savings if they are not afforded the program help.
McFate leveled blame squarely on Republicans and House leader John Boehner.
Homan question why the administration of Governor Terry Branstad had closed some 30 Iowa workforce development offices across the state leaving workers with kiosks which many lack the computer skills necessary to use.
The call was sponsored by AFSCME Iowa Council 61, the Center for Effective Government, the Iowa Citizen Action Network and Progress Iowa.
House Speaker Boehner made these comments on Thursday concerning U.S. jobs:
"A record number of people are unemployed or have left the workforce. More have left the workforce than have found new jobs. Incomes for American families have declined under this president, while the cost of everything from gas to groceries has gone up.
"We can do better. Republicans are listening to the American people, and we're focused on jobs. This week we're sending more jobs bills to the Democrat-controlled Senate. I think it's time for the president to break the Senate gridlock, so we can deliver more solutions to middle-class American families."

The oddsmakers think the Florida St./Duke is going to be a blowout. Florida St. is a 30 point favorites against the Blue Devils. But don't tell that to Florida St. Jimbo Fisher. He discusses the matchup in a Monday press conference:
Duke right now is playing tremendous football. They're on a great hot streak. They've won I think eight games in a row. Very balanced as an offense, can throw it, can run it. David has done a tremendous job with this group. They're very big, they're athletic and he's done one heck of a job, and we're going to definitely have to bring our "A" game, but we're looking forward to the opportunity and looking forward to the challenge, and hopefully finishing off the season on a good note, the regular season here, until we get to the bowl games and where everyone is going to go.
But I think it's a great opportunity. It's a great venue there in Charlotte, and looking forward to playing Duke and the team that David has created there. They've done a tremendous job.
On what Duke has done this year to improve:
COACH FISHER: Well, in terms of Xs and Os I think it's confidence in what they're doing. I think last year they got into the first bowl game in a long time. David did a great job and he's built their confidence, and I think they understand what they're doing. And I think their quarterback, the two?headed quarterback situation is a very tough problem to have. They can both run and throw the ball, both of them equally, and I think just they've grown in confidence in everything that they've done, and they've become much bigger and more physical and they run better in the secondary and have just gotten overall better talent, and David has done a great job recruiting and developing his players.
On Duke's two quarterback system:
COACH FISHER: Well, I think they've created roles for each other, and they understand what each guy is going to do. I'll tell you the funny thing, being the head running quarterback and passing, now I think now both of them are throwing it and running it pretty equally. So I mean, they're very tough guys to defend, and it gives them two different guys, and each guy is fresh.
On the importance of his solid relationship with Jameis Winston:
COACH FISHER: Well, I think it's been very critical, and I think because on the field you have to be the boss, you have to be this is what we're going to do and how we're going to do it. But I think off the field they have to see that you care. If you're going to coach them hard and demand from them, they've also got to know you care off the field, and I definitely do care not only for Jameis but for every one of our players. I'm very tough and challenge them to be the player they can become, not the one they are. But at the same time when they're off the field let them know that we do care about you. I do care what happens to you as a person, as a student and everything else, and I think that's critical time so that you can coach them the right way on the field, and I think that's even more critical, like I say, to the relationship than when you get to the field.
On what he was doing when Auburn beat Alabama:
COACH FISHER: We were watching on the bus at five minutes to go. I actually heard it, I was driving home in my truck from the stadium. I was listening to it. I was driving home and had it on the radio, and I was just listening to what happened in the game, and I was going, huh? I never dreamed of it ending that way, either. Just caught me off guard and I had to get home and see it on TV. Kind of was astonishing, really was.
On if he would attempt a field goal under a similar situation:
COACH FISHER: If I had Roberto I would kick it. I mean, Nick knows his players better than anybody. We can all doubt, but you don't know what that guys is capable of. He watches him every day, and he's been hitting 60 yarders and he had the wind at his back, why not try and win that game on the road and have a kick, and the odds of that happening. Now, you've got to go over and cover him. I'll guarantee Nick has coached that up, I promise you that. We do it here, and that's the way we handle that.
There's chances in everything you do. If he makes it, he's a hero. You play to win the game, you don't play not to lose the game.

Roast Beef Pot Pie Recipe
04.11.13 by Jackie
As I expected, two people weren't able to finish the 1½ pound pot roast I prepared yesterday. So what to do with the leftovers? Make pot pie, of course! Especially since it's National Pot Pie Month.
I took the leftover beef and gravy and added frozen peas and carrots. I used store-bought puff pastry and made pot pies. The flakiness from the crust and the creamy filling made the most delicious meal. I prepared them in individual metal tins so each person gets more puff pastry. How could anyone resist?
I served the pot pies with whole baby corn. I was able to find some at my local Asian market despite the season (check for Melissa's baby corn brand).

The Maverick Bride
New York Times
Brides will be brides, or so convention has it, cherishing gauzy fantasies of alabaster princess gowns trailing regal yards of tulle.
Or not. These days the more indie-minded bride tends to take a maverick stance, as apt to imagine herself strolling the red carpet, swathed, accordingly, in the look of the hour.
Elevating the dictates of fashion over those of tradition, she is often inclined to shed the sweetheart necklines, mermaid silhouettes and strapless looks that have long dominated the marketplace, and in some instances, even the veil.
She may turn instead to one in a raft of breezily irreverent styles: thigh-high or knee-grazing skirts; trousers in place of a dress; exaggerated sleeves and sassy off-the-shoulder necklines. And she may abandon virginal white in favor of a flattering tone of peach or blush.
The bridal market, which once moved at a stately, not to say glacial pace, has been quick to respond, briskly stepping up efforts to reflect the shifting tastes of a millennial generation. Last week, working a full year in advance of the season, designers introduced 2017 collections built on ethereal layers of sheer tulle and georgette. Some continued an emphasis on boudoir inspirations; others took a bolder stance, showing abbreviated skirts, crop tops and high-waist trousers, and necklines contoured to slide off the shoulders provocatively.
In a field once governed by caution, audacity rules, insolent touches cropping up everywhere, from the stiffly beribboned fascinators at Lela Rose to the medieval-style sleeves veiling the models' fingertips at Vera Wang; and from caped looks at Badgley Mischka to the briefest of skirts at Naeem Khan, accented, improbably, with thigh-high satin boots.

Tears of Joy: How to Fix Your Makeup After "I Do"
Once you've perfected your bridal makeup, you don't want your happy tears to wash it all away. During "I do," it's difficult not to get a little misty eyed. Plus, when friends and family are all in one place, you never know when a wave of joy will bring about another round of joyful tears.
Instead of trying to avoid the inevitable, prep your look to withstand some light waterworks and have the tools on hand to repair tear streaks and blotchy cheeks. For a flawless look from start to finish, follow these tips to fix your mineral makeup after crying.
Water resistant formulas are your friend!
Lauren Conrad has taught us all to use a water resistant mascara to avoid black or brown tear streaks on the face. It's a simple lesson… don't forget it.
Stop your tears at the source.
When the waterworks start, it is tempting to rub and wipe the lower lashline, but you're probably only going to make things worse. Always blot tears with a tissue from the inner corner of the eyes before they run.
If there are tears along the lashline, let them dry on their own if possible. Rubbing will create dark under eyes as well as a blotchy appearance to the skin. Be gentle! If your wedding dress has pockets, stuff them with tissues. If not, ask your maid of honor to come prepared.
Give your skin a cool down.
Your skin can become red and puffy when you cry unless you've perfected the pretty cry. Cool and calm the skin with a hydrating facial mist. Let the mist dry before applying additional makeup.
Pat powder onto the skin with a sponge.
Keep pressed powder foundation, blush and a dense makeup sponge in a clutch nearby. Gently press the powder on blotchy or streaky areas using the sponge to smooth out coverage. Once skin appears even, use the clean side of the sponge to pat and blend blush onto areas that need a bit more color.
Don't apply too much product. Redness and blotchiness will subside naturally after a while, and you don't want that caked on makeup look. If the powder creates a texture on the skin, you can also finish your application with a hydrating mist.
Cancel out redness.
After tears, eyes can look a little red. Try an eyeliner in a nude or peach shade on the waterline to instantly cancel out redness and brighten the eye area. If you have just a few minutes to fix up your tears, this is one step that makes a big impact with minimal effort.
Have the right tools.
It always helps to keep an emergency kit on standby for all of your bridal beauty needs. It's better to be over prepared than under-prepared, so don't skimp on the supplies! Here are a few items we recommend:
- Cotton swabs
- Water resistant mascara
- Lipstick
- Blush
- Pressed powder
- Makeup sponge
- Blending brush
- Eyeliner
- Tissues

From the Editor: Curtis Chong is second to none in his knowledge of technology and his ability to write about it. He is president of the National Federation of the Blind in Computer Science and works for the Iowa Department for the Blind as the director of field operations and access technology. Here is what he has to say about the latest incarnation of the iBill money reader:
It never ceases to amaze me how many people believe that for the blind the independent management of paper money is a daunting task. I have been totally blind since I was born, and I have been using paper money ever since I was able to scrape enough together to change ten dimes into a dollar bill. It never even occurred to me that I shouldn't be handling paper currency simply because I couldn't see it.
Of course everyone who is blind has run into those situations where someone hands you a bill, and you have no way of knowing what it is. Have you ever been standing at a bus stop and had a fellow passenger ask you if you had change for a five? Before currency identifiers came on the scene, a blind person had to trust that indeed he or she was being given a five-dollar bill.
The problem becomes more acute if you are selling items to customers over the counter. My first real job was the operation of a newsstand at an airport. People handed me paper money all the time, and there were many occasions when I had to trust that I was being given a five, ten, or twenty-dollar bill. I am happy to report that only in a very small number of cases did someone actually try to deceive me.
How is this different today? Aside from the fact that more business now seems to be conducted using credit or debit cards, a number of devices now on the market help the blind identify paper currency. Those of you who use the Apple iPhone can use the $10 Money Reader program developed by Looktel, which identifies American and foreign paper currency with incredible ease. However, if you don't have an iPhone and are looking for affordable technology to help you identify American paper currency, have you considered the iBill®, developed and sold by Orbit Research?
On September 18, 2012, Orbit Research announced the availability of the new iBill, which is priced at $119. When the original iBill was released in late 2009 for $99, I thought then that the company had a real winner. Back then other currency identifiers were priced over $300, and they were too large—so large, in fact, that they could not fit in your pocket. The original iBill, on the other hand, was light, small, and priced under $100. Moreover, it could speak, beep, or vibrate; and people who were deaf and blind could use it.
Often, when companies extol the virtues of their products, my skepticism kicks in, and I choose to wait until I can verify the company's assertions through personal experience. In the case of the iBill, Orbit Research claimed that it was able to identify paper currency in less than a second and that it was better than 99.9 percent accurate. In my experience the iBill has never misidentified paper currency; the worst thing that happens is that you get a message which says "error," which means that you should try reading the currency again, and this happens so rarely that I can't remember the last time it happened to me. For the hundreds of times I have asked the iBill to read paper currency, it has always come through in less than a second.
As good as the iBill was back in late 2009, two problems were frequently reported. First, some people thought that the iBill needed an earphone jack to support private announcements about currency denominations. Second, while it was very easy to insert newer currency into the reading slot, older paper money would often not slide in quite so easily, making the reading experience more than a little frustrating. I am pleased to report that both of these problems have been quite handily solved with the second generation of the iBill. Moreover, the new iBill comes with other improvements as well.
* The buttons on the new iBill are recessed so that they cannot be inadvertently pressed when it is in a purse or pocket.
* The new iBill has an earphone jack, meaning that you can now have your currency read out loud without other people listening (an earphone can be obtained from Orbit Research).
* A new and improved reading slot makes it easier to insert older currency.
* The volume has been enhanced so that it can speak louder than ever.
The bottom line for me is that, even though the price of the new iBill is $20 more than the original, it is still well worth the price—that is, if you are looking for a reliable, long-lasting, and durable currency identifier. I know that those of you who use the iPhone will tell me that you have an app that is far less expensive than the iBill. Yes, this is true. But, if you are not one of those people who have been fortunate enough to afford the iPhone, the iBill is there for you—and at an affordable price.
The iBill can be purchased directly from Orbit Research through its website: <http://www.orbitresearch.com>. For more information contact Orbit Research, 3422 Old Capitol Trail, Suite 585, Wilmington, Delaware 19808, Phone: (888) 606-7248; email <email@example.com>.

Released: Dec. 2012
Manufactured By: Hot Toys
Scale: 1/6
Line: Movie Masterpiece
Price: $214.99
Third avengers member released by Hot Toys' 1/6 The Avengers Movie Masterpiece line. Not a bad looking figure but just not as poseable as HT advertised. The clothes restrict any extreme movements and the Chitauri weapon is too heavy for the Cap to hold it up. The detail on the shield is awesome and the non-battle damaged version is extremely shiny. The sculpt is great but the choice they chose is kind of derpy. Kind of wish the grinning face version was masked…the blank face sculpt is boring. It kind of also doesn't make sense that there's a battle-damaged shield but no alternate battle damaged attire. Personally it looks weird that the shield is damaged but everything else on the Cap is clean and spotless haha. O well, overall the figure is not bad, if you missed out don't worry, there's so many alternate versions being released AND there's going to be the "Winter Soldier" version and most likely "The Avengers 2" version. Hopefully they are lot more poseable, at least be able to do the "Charging Star!" pose…or cartwheel lol.
