What to Expect in Worship
We gather in worship to find meaning and live more deeply. Worship creates connections within, among, and beyond us, calling us to our better selves, calling us to live with wisdom and compassion.
Unitarian Universalist worship styles vary by congregation, and even within congregations. Some congregations' worship is contemporary and high tech. Some congregations' worship is traditional and formal. Some features exuberant music, some includes long periods of silent reflection. Our congregation's worship is eclectic and may include any of these styles. That determination is made by the Worship Associates in concordance with the primary speaker for any particular service.
Elements of a typical Unitarian Universalist Sunday morning worship service include:
- Words of welcome
- Lighting a flaming chalice, the symbol of our faith
- A multigenerational segment, such as a "story for all ages"
- Music, both instrumental and vocal and in a variety of styles
- A time for lifting up the joys and concerns of the congregation
- A meditation or prayer
- Readings—ancient or contemporary
- A sermon given by a professional minister, a guest speaker, or a member of the congregation
- An offering, collecting financial donations for the congregation or for justice work in the community.
From time to time, worships incorporate holiday celebrations, multigenerational plays and pageants, longer musical performances, entire service written, coordinated, and executed by the youth, child dedications, and coming-of-age ceremonies. We offer childcare and learning programs for children and youth during the Sunday service.

Schroon Lake; Shirley Louise (Campbell) Metthe, 95, passed away at 1:09 AM, Monday, December 2, 2019, at home, surrounded by family.
She was born February 12, 1924, in Raynham, Massachusetts to Herbert G. and Matilda M. Campbell.
Shirley was predeceased by her husband Robert H. Metthe, four brothers; Donald, Kenneth, Lawrence and Robert.
She is survived by her children, Pam of Honolulu, Hawaii, Robert Jr. (Mary) of Schroon Lake, Ruth (David) of Schroon Lake and Maureen (Todd) of Hamilton, Ohio; 10 grandchildren, Jenna, Robert III, Aaron, Ashley, Annie, Austin, Matthew, Rebecca, Nicole and Claire; and 11 great-grandchildren.
Shirley graduated from Raynham High School and married Bob on February 19, 1945. In the late 1950's, after visiting Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks, they bought a motel and operated it side by side for 27 years. Shirley ran the coffee shop connected to the motel. Everyone remembers Shirley's wonderful pies.
Bob and Shirley were founding members of Mountainside Bible Chapel. Her husband Bob was involved in the construction of the church and served for many years as Chairman of the Deacons. Shirley was known for always being there to fill in wherever needed, Sunday School teacher, nursery, and hospitality events.
The Metthe home was always open and welcoming. Over the years many people sat around their dining room table enjoying Shirley's wonderful meals. Shirley was known as kind and sweet, a good listener, hard-working and always looking for a need to meet.
A celebration of her life will be held in the summer.
Memorial contributions can be made to Mountainside Bible Chapel Renovation Project.

Spotlight on vocational skills - EUbusiness Week newsletter 767
EUbusiness Week 767 top stories: Brexit talks could be over by October 2018; EU takes action against UK and Germany over dieselgate; Reprieve for EU nature protection laws; Social media sites slow to act on hate speech; HSBC and 2 other banks fined EUR 485m for rate rigging; One in four Europeans over 15 is a smoker
Publisher's Note
The importance of vocational skills was highlighted this week through a
number of high-profile events in Brussels and around Europe in the first
European Vocational Skills Week.
There are around 20 million job-seekers in Europe. Yet at the same time 40 per cent of all employers say they cannot recruit people with the right skills. As Commissioner Marianne Thyssen said, quality vocational skills are key to competitiveness, innovation and employability. Crucially, they also match labour market needs.

"And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd" (John 10:16).
Once again, we must ask ourselves the question: To whom was our Lord speaking, and at what time? The discourse on the Good Shepherd was delivered by Christ when He was on the earth at least two years before the Apostle Paul was given his special revelation.
Inasmuch as Paul was the first to receive the truth of the One Body, the "other sheep" in the above context could in no way be the Body of Christ.
But there's more. None of the Apostle Paul's Gentile epistles contain a reference to the members of Christ's Body being sheep, much less a sheepfold. However, these metaphors are found throughout the pages of prophecy, which serves as another distinguishing factor between the two programs of God.
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah" (Jer. 31:31).
Under the reign of Rehoboam the kingdom was divided in Israel. The division proved to be devastating as the ten northern tribes, which came to be called the house of Israel, appointed Jeroboam as their King. He, of course, destroyed the religious unity of the nation when he erected altars at Dan and Bethel and caused the children of Israel to offer sacrifices unto the gods of Egypt (I Kings 12:16-31).
On the other hand, the house of Judah (tribes of Judah and Benjamin) followed in the ways of the Lord and continued to offer their sacrifices in Jerusalem, thus obeying the Law and the prophets. They remained in the Lord's favor in spite of the fact that He allowed them to be carried off into the Babylonian captivity for their lapse of faith. These two tribes were by far the more spiritual tribes in Israel, not to mention that it was in Bethlehem of Judaea where the Prince of Peace chose to be born.
Consequently, some believe that the "other sheep" are the ten northern tribes who will be brought back into the fold at the Second Coming of Christ. Hence, there will be one fold and one Shepherd. We surely concur that there will be a reunification of the tribes of Israel as represented by the binding of the two sticks in Ezekiel 37:15-28.
This, however, must not be confused with the sheepfold. Israel is the sheep of God, whether they were of the northern or southern tribes. The Lord would have never called His chosen people the "other sheep." They are the sheep and therefore the primary fold.
If we say that the ten northern tribes are the "other sheep," then what about the kingdom Gentiles — where do they fit into the picture?
It is often overlooked, but God had made a provision in prophecy for the Gentiles to be saved through Israel. Thus, they are also said to be joined to the Lord. And Isaiah goes on to add, "Even them [the Gentiles] will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer…" (Isa. 56:6,7). Insofar as the Gentiles are the last non-Jewish converts to be reached under the Great Commission, the classification "other sheep" fits them perfectly. But some are sure to inquire: "Are the Gentiles ever called sheep in prophecy?" Indeed they are, please read prayerfully Matthew 25:31-46. source

The shocking truth about pesticides and fertilizers is they are killing us more and more every day! From poisoning our crops that feed America to poisoning the cotton that clothes America pesticides and fertilizers are wreaking havoc on people everywhere. Men, women, and children are feeling the effects of these pesticides and fertilizers in the forms of rare diseases and Cancers. These fertilizers and pesticides are used on our crops and claimed to be safe by the FDA. The FDA is wrong!
How would you feel about giving your wife or daughter a tampon knowing that the inside of that tampon was packed full of pesticides and fertilizer byproducts that are contributed to causing cervical cancer? That's exactly what is going on. It's more than just skin cancers from the poison and our clothes the ones we love are being poisoned from the inside with cotton ?Hemp is a natural, safe alternative that does not require pesticides and fertilizers like cotton does.
Cotton and the synthetic fiber industry stand in the way of cannabis legalization. Not because they don't want people to smoke bud. Because they don't want the cannabis plant legal. They don't want it legal because they know that it is a safe and healthy alternative to their deadly and dangerous products that they have made mainstream with their pesticide and fertilizer buddies. The next time you look on the Home Depot aisle or a Lowes aisle and see all of that endless array of gardening products remember this, most of those products are what is responsible for poisoning and killing our planet and that is the shocking truth.

Kumar Brings Together Computing and Design
Assistant Professor Ranjitha Kumar received her PhD from Stanford University. Her expertise lies at the intersection of computer science and design. "The motivating theme behind the work I've been doing is the idea that all design—fundamentally—is driven by data," she said.
As Kumar explains it, though tools such as Photoshop and InDesign can provide blank pages for designers to fill in, they don't do much to support creativity. Kumar's dissertation research focused on applying data mining and knowledge discovery techniques to help designers draw on prior work, introducing what Kumar calls "design mining."
As an undergraduate, Kumar had an interest in graphic design and 3D modeling, but quickly became dissatisfied with the available tools. During her PhD, she studied the way designers use software to identify opportunities to amplify human creativity with technology. Her work bridges aspects of machine learning, data mining, human-computer interaction, cognitive science, theory, and system building.
Kumar spent a year between completing her PhD at Stanford and joining the department to found a new company, Apropose, Inc. "[At Apropose] we're building applications to support Web designers by making it easier for them to leverage existing work in new projects. Google wants to understand all the information on the Web. We want to understand all the design," she said.

Introduction: DIY Paint Sprayer From Plastic Bottle
This is a how to instructional on how to make a pretty good performing paint sprayer from two plastic bottles, a couple of straws, and some PVC pipe. You will also need a rubber band, two long screws, and possibly some electrical tape and/or duct tape.
Check out the video for the step by step instructions.
The paint sprayer will require some sort of compressed air. My design in this video requires a shop vac that can blow. One could also use an air compressor or some other sort of blower such as a mattress inflater.
I came up with this specific design while playing and experimenting in my garage. My design allows the paint to be aerosolized by the compressed air giving an even conical spray pattern. This is due to the position and orientation of the straws. I found that when the "sipper" straw is cut at a 45 degree angle and faces the oncoming compressed air, it produces the best results. The spray nozzle also must not extend too far past the sipper otherwise splatter will occur.
This paint sprayer can handle out of the can latex paint without needing any dilution with water. Just ensure the paint is properly mixed.
The great advantage of this design is that it is incredibly cheap to make, allows ease of refilling, and ease of cleanup (simply throw the bottle away and make a few more bottles with spray nozzles for next time).
This design isn't limited to spraying paint. One could spray varnish,
stain, oil, or fuel (flamethrower?)... as in a waste oil furnace configuration.
Step 1: Acquire Materials
This paint sprayer requires:
- bubble tea straw (fat straw)
- a normal drinking straw
- two ~6 inch sections of 1 1/4" Plastic PVC pipe
- two plastic bottles.1 Liter sizes seem to work best but it can be scaled up or down. The plastic bottle should have about a 1" diameter neck and should be flexible enough to squeeze.
- Shop Vac
- Two wood screws
- Drill
- Hot glue gun
- Saw
Step 2: Construct Bottle Holder From First Pipe & Bottle
- Measure Neck of Bottle and mark notch in pipe that is the same or slightly narrower. Make the notch 2" deep at least.
- Cut notch in pipe
- Place bottle neck over the pipe and measure the wider taper to cut the other notch in the pipe
- Cut the second notch in pipe
- Ensure the pipe fits snugly in the pipe
Step 3: Construct Paint Sprayer Out of Plastic Bottle
- Drill a hole near the edge of the bottle cap so the drinking straw can be inserted snugly
- Insert straw and cut at 45 degree angle
- Trim straw so it only sticks into bottle less than 1 inch
- Align 45 degree angle cut of the straw towards the inside of the bottle (the axis center)
- Take the larger bubble tea straw and glue the 45 degree angle against the standard size drinking straw's 45 degree angle
- Make the standard drinking straw extend into the bubble tea straw so it almost touches the top of the bubble tea straw
Step 4: Construct Shop Vac Adapter and Handle Out of 2nd Pipe and 2nd Plastic Bottle
- Place 2nd pipe over the top of the 2nd plastic bottle to see where to cut off the plastic bottle
- Cut top off of 2nd plastic bottle that is very slightly larger than the inner diameter of the pipe
- Push the 2nd bottle top through the 2nd pipe so it sticks out the other end
- Glue the 2nd bottle top to the 2nd pipe
- Mark where the hole in the 2nd bottle cap will be by placing the 1st bottle (sprayer with straws) + holder against it and marking the diameter of the bubble tea straw
- Drill hole in the 2nd Bottle cap
- Ensure the bubble tea straw fits into the 2nd Bottle cap
If water like consistency paint is being sprayed, you can use the same
nozzle configuration but it may be more advantageous to use a coffee stirrer straw as the sipper and a regular sized straw as the air nozzle. Also if thin paint is used, you can extend the sipper straw so it reaches towards the bottom of the bottle and also drill an extra hole at the bottle cap for an air hole. This way the thin paint would be dispenses solely from the venturi effect and the paint sprayer would not have to be turned upside down and squeezed. Or yet another option is to omit the air hole, extend the straw to the bottom of the bottle and squeeze the bottle while it is still oriented towards the ground.
Step 5: Secure Pipes Together With Two Screws
- Ensure you have a long enough wood screw
- Drill a pilot hole for the two screws
- Screw the two pipes together
- Ensure Bottles can interface together (ensure the bubble tea straw fits into the bottle cap adapter)
Step 6: Secure Paint Bottle With a Rubber Band
- When using the paint sprayer, the paint should be mixed and funneled
into the plastic bottle.
The cap/nozzle should be firmly screwed on
the bottle secured to the handle via a rubber band.
Step 7: Paint Sprayer Operating Procedure
To operate the paint sprayer, the paint sprayer is held bottle side
towards the ground. The shop vac is then turned on. When ready to paint, the paint sprayer is turned upside down so the bottle faces the sky. Then the bottle is lightly squeezed to dispense the paint in order to spray it. When done spraying, the spray gun must be turned bottle side down before the air is shut off in order to prevent paint spatter as the shop vac slows down.
An important reminder is to ensure that the paint sprayer is attached to the blowing side of the shop vac and not the suction side. Otherwise, the shop vac will suck all the paint out of the bottle and into the shop vac.

Crossing the bridge from pain to purpose.
One of the first steps in forgiving is to recognize and acknowledge the pain and hurt, the anger, the disillusionment, the depression etc. – whatever I am feeling. I have a right to those feelings! No amount of crying: denying or feeling guilty about those feelings, is going to help me in the long run. Identify – name those feelings, whatever they may be – this is an important part of the process of moving on.
Forgiveness requires that we give space to our grief, anger and incomprehension regarding the violence we have experience, and have our pain recognized and given due regard. Living forgiveness has nothing to do with not feeling hate or harm for the one who has hurt us. Is is about acknowledging the validity of our sometimes violent emotions in the face of what has happened.
Forgiveness means taking seriously what has happened and not minimizing it; drawing out the sting in the memory that threatens to poison my entire existence.
Stuff to think about…
Know why it matters. Think about how you feel when you're angry, upset and resentful: your muscles are clenched, your heart is pounding and your stomach is turning. All the stress you feel when you have not forgiven someone, can and will do a number on both your mental and physical health! Healing your mind and softening your heart can heal your body! Not forgiving is self-destructive. Not forgiving is like taking a small dose of poison daily.
Forgiveness is a gift you nurture so that you can give it to yourself. Prayer will lead you to both strength and consolation.
Get help along the way, whether it is from a professional person, a spiritual person or simply from the people you love.
Forgiveness is a process. It takes time, it is as individual a process as I am, I have to learn to accept where I am on the journey.
Refocus your emotion. When you're feeling stressed and anxious because of an unresolved hurtful situation, take some time to settle down. Slowly breathe in and push your belly out. Then breathe out and relax your belly. Repeat a couple of times. On your third inhalation, think of someone you love. Keep breathing peacefully. Instead of asking the hurt and angry part of you what to do, tune in to the relaxed and loving part of you and look for answers there.
Refrain the picture. The term is based on a metaphor: changing the frame of the picture can enable us to see the picture in a new way. Re-framing refers to the process of seeing the situation, the one who committed the offense, and/or ourselves in a new or different way, so that we have a better context in which to make the decision to forgive. Seeing someone in a larger context can give us an insight into behavior. Re-framing is not intended to excuse the one who has done the harm – However it can allow us to have some insight into what might have caused them to do such a thing. What were the circumstances which led them to act in this way? When I consider my own situation – I am in a better position to make the decision to forgive.
Forgiveness does not meant that I must (or even should) forget about what was done to me.
Stop saying "forgive and forget" -
try to say
"forgive and remember differently".
Each time I remember – I can forgive – this is my power over evil and harm. What happened to me, happened, period! The thing I want to forget the most is the first thing I am going to remember. Forgiving does not have to mean forgetting. Jesus came to take away sins, not my brain or my memories! Instead of trying to forget, I can ask myself what can I learn from this, so that I can become a better or a stronger person.
It can not be forced – it is a gift – there are no "ought to" and "should haves" about it.
Remember that the decision to forgive the person; the decision to let go of the hurt and pain he or she caused me does not imply that I condone or excuse what the person did.
I do not even demand that the one who offended be sorry or repent for what he or she did, althoughforgivenss is more difficult in these cases. Forgiveness is my decison: it doe not depend on anyone else or anything else. Forgiveness is different from reconciling. You can choose to forgive and choose not to resume the relationship.
Is is my decision to lay aside the burden of hurt and pain. Not to do so only allows the person to continue to harm me. I continue to carry the burden of anger and resentment, a burden which keeps me from getting on with my life.
Change the channel. Quit watching endless reruns of "My mother was cold and distant" in your head. Instead, try consciously to look around for positive life-giving things, – a sunset, a smile, a ball game i.e. anything – just when you hear yourself playing the same tape – change the channel for your own sake (and for the sake of those who have heard the endless repeats).
Forgiveness is the conscious decision to let go of the anger and resentment I feel towards someone who has hurt me. If I am holding on to a grudge, the only one that I am hurting is myself. Forgiving someone is about as personal as it gets – I am hurt, and only I can figure out how I am going to heal. Forgiveness is not a sugary, sentimental feeling of benevolence toward this person who hurt me – it is a decision not to let this anger turn into resentment and self pity which sours my outlook on life, casts me into the role of victim and gives me stomach ulcers.
Forgiveness is the search for understanding. If we are to move beyond being victims, we have to go eventually beyond condemnation to understanding what has happened, why it happened, how it changed me and what can we do to free ourselves of being more than that of a victim. Victims may want to hold a grudge because it gives them a regained sense of control and superiority. However, when nursing a grudge, you are essentially stuck in the victim role and inviting anger to become a companion in your everyday life and a toxin to your body.

The germinating place of Yoga and Ayurveda, India is the land which has been practicing the unbroken tradition of ancient sciences since time immemorial. India is the preserver and nurturer of Brhattrayi, the Great Trilogy. This Trilogy encompasses the wisdom and modern principles of Ayurveda, the life-giving science that has been passed down to the generations by our ancestors.
What is Ayurveda:
The original texts on Ayurveda– the Chakra and Sushruta Samhita state that Ayurveda is a 'wisdom of life'. It examines the physical body, emotional constitution, and spiritual nature. One of the oldest healthcare systems in the world, this medicinal system promotes a balanced living and effective prevention and treatment of diseases. It is a healing system based on the natural principles designated towards nourishing the body, mind, and spirit.
Basic Principles of Ayurveda:
The Ayurveda Science sees a person as a unique individual composed of biological principles (known as doshas)– Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These tri-doshas play a vital role in making of the physical and mental characteristics of a human being. During the course of life, the doshas deviate (Vikriti) from their original state (Prakriti) for diverse reasons and negatively impact our physical and mental health. Other important principles of Ayurveda include Dhatus, Mala, Srotas, and Agni. The ayurvedic practices help in bringing the doshas in a balanced state and assist in maintaining the other elements in optimal health for living in harmony with the natural rhythm.
Benefits of Ayurveda:
- Deeply Cleanses The Body: The Ayurvedic treatments thoroughly detoxify the body from the toxins and waste products. The buildup of bacteria and viruses within the body interferes with the functioning of the internal system. Ayurvedic panchakarma therapies encourage the manifestation of a healthy body inside-out through deep internal cleaning.
- Minimizes Stress: Ayurvedic treatments and Abhyanga massage are found to be clinically powerful in reducing stress. The ayurvedic techniques relax the body-mind of a patient and encourage higher levels of serotonin and lower levels of cortisol.
- Aids in Digestion: In Ayurvedic traditions, the concept of Agni is important. It views digestion as the very source of life. The science of life, Ayurveda teaches that poor digestion is the root cause of diseases. The wisdom of Ayurveda offers a deeper understanding of the digestive system and how to enhance the Agni.
- Alleviates Skin Problems: Ayurveda is a storehouse of many curing and rejuvenating therapies that grants the individual with a soft and radiating skin. Practicing yoga and sticking out to Ayurvedic remedies reduces skin problems and enhance its luster.
- Body- Mind Balance: The Ayurvedic herbs and remedies focus on internal healing rather than the external curing. By strengthening the internal processes, supporting the development of happy hormones, etc., the life-giving science of Ayurveda fosters an overall balance and health.
Seep into the power of Ayurveda to get rooted in health, wellness, balance, and luminosity.

My menu from last week.
I knew when I put Buffalo Falafel and Garlic Blue Cheese Fry Pitas with Ranch Style Tzatziki on the menu – that I was asking for trouble. I'm not sure you can put more bad things in one sentence. At dinner, when I called the children to come get their "falafel balls," I couldn't help but sound a little maniacal. It was just too funny. At least my husband liked it.
In other news, we made even more Bolognese to use up the last of the tomatoes. Another trick we employ during tomato season is beans and rice topped with copious amounts of homemade salsa. The kind of salsa you can eat with a spoon. It doesn't seem to ever get old. I also made three of my mother-in-law's recipes this week. Her broccoli soup is so easy and cheesy, and the children love it. In short, steam/boil 4 heads of broccoli and one chopped onion in a couple inches of Better than Bouillon broth. When it is softened, mash it all to smithereens and add a quart of cream – don't return to boil. Top with cheddar. Can't go wrong. I also made her Funeral Potatoes recipe, which might just be the most Mormon of all dishes. It's perfect for feeding a crowd, goes together simply, is cheap, makes ahead easily, and can survive indeterminately in the oven. I think I stuffed five pounds of hash browns in my deep dish baker and left it in the oven for two hours to feed the ten people we had over after church. And then I followed it up with Gayla's fry bread recipe. Which is the BEST most important recipe I have. I can make it with nothing and it feeds the Mongol Horde until they turn belly up, gurgling with delight. It is my secret weapon. Unless you're gluten intolerant, then I have nothing on you.
We've also been making Buckeyes every time we turn around. I should say, my husband has been making them. He goes to the store for yogurt and bananas and comes back with a giant hunk of dark chocolate. "I know you're up to something, aren't you?" He employs all the children to roll the balls while he dips them in chocolate. They are no bake, and while a little time consuming, they really aren't that hard. So you should try it.
**Funeral Potatoes
6-8 potatoes, baked, peeled, & shredded – or 1 package hash browns. Stir in 1 can mushroom soup, 2 c. sour cream, 2 c. cheddar, and 1 can evaporated milk. Place in 9×13 pan and sprinkle with crushed crackers. Pour 1 cube of melted butter on top and bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.

Tattoo Cover Ups: From Scars and Sketches, To Beautiful Artwork
by K. A. Kristmanson
Everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes have permanent consequences. The good news is, with the right artist and realistic expectations, a tattoo can be covered up.
Fixer-Upper vs. Cover-Up
Your tattoo doesn't necessarily have to be completely changed and hidden within a different design. Sometimes you can reshape a salvageable piece of body art. Depth can be added to a flat, faded tattoo with highlights and shading. Thicker outlines can cover blown out, crooked or inconsistent linework.
A perfect example is one of my own tattoos. I wanted to keep the original design, not cover it with a completely new tattoo. This was possible because the image was discernible.
The initial tattoo lacked shading, particularly in the skin-tone areas of the bear, causing it to look flat and dull. The linework was jagged and blown out, but most of it could be covered with another pass of black. However, we decided to add a shadow underneath the bear, to hide the particularly precarious linework around the legs, and to add some depth to the image.
Voila, fixer-upper complete, and I have an adorable Banjo-Kazooie tattoo that doesn't embarrass me when I'm swimming. Unfortunately, not all tattoos are salvageable. If that's the case, you're going to have to curb your expectations.
Check Your Expectations
First thing's first, you might have to get comfortable with having a larger tattoo. The most unrealistic expectation that clients have is that their new tattoo will be the same size as the original. This is not feasible in most cases.
Pastel colours are not likely to work out. Neither are light, warm tones like pink and yellow. Watercolor designs will not cover most tattoos. If you are unwilling to compromise on these desires for your future tattoo, your other option is to get lasered.
Tattoo Nightmares makes it look like a fifteen-minute process to produce a perfect drawing. In reality, it takes time to design a tattoo, especially if it's meant to hide another one. Lines have to work with the shape beneath in order to hide them well. That means that each part of the new image needs to be positioned in a specific way. Patience will be appreciated by your artist as you work together to turn a disaster into a work of art.
Expect your cover up to cost you more than the original tattoo. Since they are more work, some artists will charge more for cover-ups, outright.
Strategies for Covering A Tattoo
Not all cover-ups have to adhere to these rules, however. There are several approaches to covering tattoos, depending on the individual case.
Focal points in strategic positions can distract the eye from the original design underneath, making it possible to have your design the same size as the original. Texture is the easiest way to hide an old tattoo behind the new one. Flowers, birds, and leaves are great for cover-ups for this exact reason. Putting something smooth and flat on top will not achieve this effect.
Cool colours like blue and purple work better for cover-ups. This is because warmer tones are less opaque and can end up looking muddy when placed over black. If you'd like bright yellows and pinks, accent colours outside the original outline are a great compromise. Solid greys can be an option, or at least more forgiving than greywash—grey ink diluted with water—depending on the tattoo.
It's hard to cover up fresh black linework, or dark shading, so the older your tattoo is, the better.
Covering Scars
Much like tattoos, when you're covering up a scar, the older the better. Fresh keloids—raised, red or purple scar tissue with a smooth surface—are not ideal. This is because the colour is not likely to stay in the skin, and potentially cause further damage to the area by chewing up the scar tissue underneath.
Designs for scar cover-ups don't necessarily have to be something solid. Working with the shape of the scar is one approach. Distracting the eye is another.
Final Note
Keep in mind that when covering a tattoo, you just gotta do what you gotta do. The end result will be a piece of art better than what you had before. However, be wary of an artist that just wants to do something super dark on top, because that's not always the solution. Your cover up does not have to be a giant black box. Work together with your artist, and create something you are happy with.

Spyware – Eradicate It Now
July 8, 2016
Spyware – Eliminate It Now
Source: Flickr
Spyware elimination has actually ended up being a laborious job. As the spyware hazard has actually intensified, a number of techniques have actually arised to combat it. Among these are
– programs created to remove or to block spyware
– educating the customers as though spyware removal not is required
– individual techniques which minimize the possibility of obtaining spyware on a system.
Spyware remains a costly trouble despite having all brand-new technology made use of to combat them. If a large number of spyware programs have infected a Windows computer, the only method to save the computer system could be to support individual data, as well as completely re-installing the os.
Anti-spyware programs
Among the markets most preferred anti-spyware programs, Adwarealert will certainly help you discover and also inevitably clear your computer system of unnecessary spyware software application.
Lots of programmers and some business firms have actually released items designed to eliminate or block spyware. Steve Gibson's OptOut,, practially invented a growing group. Programs such as,
– Adwarealert
– Lavasoft's Ad-Aware SE
– Patrick Kolla's Spybot – Search & Ruin
quickly gained appeal as efficient tools to eliminate, and also sometimes intercept, spyware programs.
Lately Microsoft purchased the TITAN Anti-Spyware software program, renaming it as Windows AntiSpyware beta as well as launching it as a free download for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and also Windows 2003 individuals. The renamed software application in the meantime exists as a time-limited beta examination item that will expire at the end of July 2006. Microsoft is continually establishing and upgrading this item.
Antispyware security, elimination as well as anti-virus
Major anti-virus firms such as Symantec, McAfee and also Sophos have actually come later to the table, including anti-spyware features to their existing anti-virus products.
At first, anti-virus firms did not wish to add anti-spyware functions, mentioning legal actions brought by spyware writers versus the writers of website as well as programs which described their items as "spyware".
However, recent variations of these significant firm's house and also business anti-virus products do include anti-spyware functions. The spyware is treated differently from viruses though.
Symantec Anti-Virus, for example, categorizes spyware programs as "extended dangers" and also now offers real-time security from them (as it provides for infections). The disadvantage with these programs is that they are really complicated and oftentimes generate more hurdles to leap over after that you as a user actually need.
Like a lot of anti-virus software program, anti-spyware software calls for a frequently-updated database of risks. As new spyware programs are released, anti-spyware programmers discover and examine them, making "signatures" or "interpretations" which permit the software application to find as well as get rid of the spyware.
If a spyware program is not blocked and also procures itself mounted, it could resist efforts to end or uninstall it. Some programs work together: when an anti-spyware scanner (or the user) ends one running process, the various other one starts up the eliminated program once more, making it essentially impossible to cleanse the computer system.
Some spyware will detect efforts to eliminate registry secrets during the spyware removal and promptly add them once again. Normally, booting the infected computer in safe mode permits an anti-spyware program a much better possibility of eliminating consistent spyware.
The most severe way of cleansing is to move the hard disk drive to an additional computer, boot on the typical boot disk that computer system has, and afterwards tidy the contaminated disk. You could also install the contaminated disk over the local network as well as scan & cleanse it to eliminate as much spyware as feasible.
No matter just what way you opt to clean your computer, but making use of an excellent spyware removal program will make your life a lot easier …
Data Recovery – It May Not Be To Late After All
June 28, 2016
· Definition of Data Recovery
The salvaging of lost data or making available the previously damaged data stored on various damaged media such as hard disk drives, magnetic tapes, magnetic disks, zip disks, CD-Rom, flash cards and other storage media is known as Data recovery. For example the data of a file which has been deleted by some accident can be recovered again.
· Data Recovery Service Providers
There are various Data Recovery Service Providers who are working for 24/7 in order to provide their customers with the best available data recovery services. I'm a local Raleigh computer service tech company and we can do fairly simple things. Sometimes this works out and resolves the problems and others? Well, even the professionals need to send stuff out on occasion. The benefit of being a pro? We know WHEN and WHERE to send these off to get them straightened out ASAP 🙂 Anyway, the big companies in data recovery have highly trained staff and they are continuously improving the process technology and their quality systems. These providers allow their customers to recover every important piece of data from all the popular file systems in case of accidental file deletion, malfunctioning of software, formatted hard drives, damaged or deleted partitions and erased or corrupted by a virus. I recently had a friend call in hysterics assuming the data of her site had been lost. I calmed her and by the next day the site was back up as you can see here. She's got her own little marketing site…
These data recovery service providers offer a complete range of solutions for the restoration of lost data. The different softwares used by these providers are compatible for all the Microsoft Windows Editions, Apple Macintosh, Sun Solaris, AIX, Linux and Unix operating system. They also provide data recovery from different file systems such as FAT, NTFS, HFS, HFS+, NWFS, EXT2 and EXT3 file systems. They prevent the various important data of our computer by different data safety and data security softwares from unwanted accessing of data, corruption, modification or deletion by another user or from various harmful programs such as viruses, spy ware, Trojan horses, etc.

The number of times have you experienced that sickening sensation when your hard disk drive all of a sudden falls short? How many times have you experienced that your hard disk simply does not boot and all the data may be gone permanently? A hard disk drive failure is one of one of the most usual troubles and also worst problems faced by computer system operators around the world. Valuable information is shed either in the house or in large business environments. What can be done in these scenarios? Well, there are specific options that could be done by you in order to restore your hard drive. We will certainly discuss the option later. Initially, allow us review why a hard disk falls short.
Whether the information on the hard disk could be recuperated or otherwise depends on the level of the problem. A disk drive could be damaged because of firmware corruption, electronic problem, mechanical failing or a logical failing. Often times your disk drive might shed information due to the mix of the above pointed out elements. A hard disk drive might likewise develop bad fields due to which the information on those markets is shed or ends up being unreadable.
Firmware describes the details utilized by the computer system to connect properly with the hard drive. If the firmware fails or comes to be corrupted, then vital data on the hard drive is lost. In situation of an electronic failing there possibly take place an electrical surge that can knock senseless the controller board on the hard disk drive and make it pointless. However information could be recovered by data recuperation specialists that utilize unique data recuperation software application. Swapping the controller board with another one can show to be harmful as the details on the controller board is one-of-a-kind to the hard disk on which it is fitted. In comparison to digital problem a mechanical problem can end up being worst as data healing could virtually come to be impossible. Mechanical failing includes head collision as well as read/write head failure. Going crash could happen as a result of physical shock, power surges and also activity of the computer system. Next come the logical errors. Sensible mistakes have absolutely nothing to do with the equipment part. Logical mistakes could occur because of corruption of the report system on the hard disk drive or improper access in the documents allocation table.
In instance of hard disk drive problem it is important to call the data recovery specialists. In most cases, the information on the hard disk is important and also you could not bear to lose it. The specialists boost the probabilities of hard disk drive recovery in the case of failure of disk drive because of software program malfunction, infection strikes as well as various other reasons mentioned above. Data can be recuperated on any type of kind of running system consisting of all versions of Windows along with Apple Macintosh, Novell, Linux, Unix as well as on all sorts of documents systems like FAT, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, HFS, HFS+, NWFS, EXT2 and also EXT3. The professionals could take the hard disk to their workshop in order to recover the lost information and after that return it to you in a few days. Most of the data healing specialists have their very own laboratories that are associated with examining the hard drives and also repairing them.
Loss of data is the last thing that you as the client would certainly ever before want. This is where the information recuperation specialists enter the image. They could not extract just data from hard drives, yet recover information additionally from disk drive, cds, dvds as well as other crucial storage media. You as the consumer can use up some safety nets like supporting all your crucial data at least once a week. Windows has its very own feature rich back-up program. There are various other data backup software programs offered in the market that could prevent a feasible calamity.
Besides the concern of recuperating your data, another issue is the time it might take for a professional to help. This can be a slow-moving as well as tedious process. I advise having a second total computer system source such as a laptop (for mobility) that you can proceed your job. This way you are never ever totally down as well as you can share crucial data in between both.

This image has less of landscape and even lesser of the tiger. However, combining both the less'es together gives an impression of the habitat of the tiger. Hence, decided to share the picture in this thread. This is Corbett many years back, got this picture from my archives. This is in the bijrani zone and in the dry river bed/bank, once can often see the tiger and other mammals walk across. The tiger was moving away from us towards the dense canopy of the jungle. Thankfully, most vehicles drove away trying to intercept the tiger ahead, but we chose to stay back and absorb the moment. I have never been fascinated by any other part of Corbett N.P. more than Dhikala and Khinnanauli. When we were in college in the early 90's my friends father was the chief conservator for UP (UP was not split then). We used to often stay at Dhikala and Khinnanauli, and many a times we used to be the first to enter the park post monsoon closure. Pristine, untouched and unpolluted it was then.

Introducing The Puffing Billy Speakers Panel Volunteers
Pictured above are the panel members Robert Dawson (OAM), Don Horsburgh and Alan Gray. These three experienced volunteers spend many hours each year making speaking presentations to Probus, Retirement Villages, Historical Society's, Schools, U3A, Rotary, Lions, Toastmasters, Life Activities, Red Cross, C.W.A., Lodges', Libraries', National Seniors, V.I.E.W., RSL War Widows, Garden, Church, Special Interest Clubs/Groups and Community Radio Station Broadcasts.
Robert Dawson (OAM)
Rob was born and raised in Upwey, overlooking the Puffing Billy railway line running between Upwey and Belgrave. As a 13-year-old he began selling chips, drinks and tickets from a tray by walking up and down the platform at Belgrave. Later he would join the school parties that would do odd jobs cleaning up along the track.
As an adult Rob spent many years as station master at Emerald, this included selling tickets, food and talking to people and generally spruiking the railway. From conductor to station-master and everything in between was always a thrill as his love of steam trains grew, however, the little Puffing Billy railway was always his first love.
Rob also regularly attends the Belgrave workshop where volunteers do cleaning and basic jobs on repairing and maintaining the carriages and engines. For 30 years he would use one of his furniture vans as a runner's baggage transport vehicle for the Annual Great Train Race.
In 2013 Rob was honoured to be presented with an Order of Australia Medal for services to Puffing Billy Railway and Rotary.
Rob and his wife Marjorie reside in Ferntree Gully; they have 3 sons and 5 grandchildren; until retirement in 2012, Rob ran a successful furniture removal/storage business for 25 years.
Since joining the Visiting Speakers Panel in February 2016 Rob has completed 21 jobs.
Alan Gray
Alan has fond memories of visiting his grandparents at Upwey and the highlight was to watch Puffing Billy steam by. This was the first thing he remembers as a child and it was the start of a long love affair with the railway which has never faded.
Alan joined the Puffing Billy Railway 11 years ago after retiring from a 36-year career with the Commonwealth Bank; he developed an interest in public speaking and this eventuated in him becoming the State Coordinator of 10 Business Development Officers. In this role, he became a guest speaker on behalf of the Bank at Industry Trade Shows, Field Days and Universities.
Alan is a Vietnam Veteran and is a leader of a Veterans Group. Over the past 12 years the group has completed over 40 tours to places of historical interest throughout Victoria and as a result, he has also gained an interest in this field. He is a regular keynote speaker to the Army Driver Trainees at Puckapunyal.
He enjoys his role as a Head Conductor and Trainer as it enables him, and his team, to have direct contact with the thousands of passengers who visit the railway. Over the past couple of years, Alan has also been actively involved as the Secretary of the Puffing Billy Railway Modellers Group.
Alan is married to Heather and they have lived in Cranbourne for 40 years. Heather is also a Puffing Billy volunteer and is of great assistance to Alan in his speaking role. They both find volunteering a rewarding experience.
Since joining the Visiting Speakers Panel in July 2009 Alan has completed 175 jobs.
Don Horsburgh
Don became a volunteer in 1991 when he retired from paid employment. He served as an Officer with the Royal Australian Air Force for 21 years before seeking industry experience. RAAF service was followed by more than 15 years as a human resources manager in the public and private sectors of the rail industry. The rail industry where he'd most recently worked appealed as the place to be, so it wasn't a difficult choice to become a volunteer with Victoria's famous Heritage Steam Railway.
In a voluntary capacity, over a 26 year period, Don has worked at the heritage steam railway as a booking clerk, station- master, retail assistant and more recently over a 4 year period project managed the interviewing, scheduling and publishing of a PBPS Book "Saving Puffing Billy". He has served as an elected member of the Puffing Billy Preservation Society Executive Committee and has recently chalked up 600 speaking presentations throughout Victoria since joining the Speakers Panel in August 2000. In 2004 Don succeeded (the late) Laurie Bunn and became Coordinator of the Visiting Speakers Panel. During his time as Coordinator Don has spent hundreds of voluntary hours administrating the Speaker's Panel activities in addition to undertaking speaking engagements and selling shop merchandise to those attending his presentations.
Don lives in Rowville with his wife Beverley. Their 3 children have presented them with 8 grandchildren. He believes it is important to preserve the unique history of a working heritage steam railway.
Don when not volunteering at "Puff" spends his spare time organising and leading extended holiday and day tours for residents of his Retirement Village. Residents have travelled to many parts of Australia and Fiji. Since 2002 Village residents at Rowville, have enjoyed more than 70 extended tours and outings.

Below is an article I wrote in 2012 about the difficult position auditors are put in. What are your thoughts on the subject?
This last week, two events occurred that reminded me how dangerous auditing is. It is dangerous because auditors can't win! If they tell the truth, it can come back to bite them. If they don't tell the truth, the scandals they are covering will come to light and implicate the auditor.
One of my internal audit friends is looking for a new job. She has been auditing for 20 years and has on a few occasions pissed the client off for telling the truth. In other words, she was doing a great job as an auditor. One nasty client lost her little mind and yelled at my friend during a board meeting and was subsequently let go for showing bad form. This woman has a grudge against my friend and has, it appears, successfully sullied her reputation with my friend's desired new employer. So she is paying for doing the right thing.
Another audit colleague is suffering for not doing the right thing. UT Southwestern Auditors are in the news for not reporting excessive, personal travel by a University executive. Here are some excerpts from an investigative report of the situation:
The requirements of the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing are to "communicat[e] risk and control information to appropriate areas of the organization." Mr. Chaffin told us that he had concerns about Dr. Wildenthal's spending activities and whether there was a legitimate business purpose for all of Dr. Wildenthal's travel and entertainment expenses. Mr. Chaffin chose not to document these concerns in the audit report and chose only to discuss these concerns informally with two individuals. Mr. Chaffin's audit represents a failure in the governance process, as risk information was not properly and formally communicated in writing. Mr. Chaffin failed in his duties and responsibilities as Chief Audit Executive at UT System.
Mr. Chaffin said that the audit report also did not contain a recommendation that Mr. Chaffin considered making, which would have required the submission of an itinerary in advance of foreign travel and a list of attendees for meetings or dinner events. Mr. Chaffin said that, while he believed that these recommendations were important, he was concerned that such recommendations would become immediate headlines for the DMN. Mr. Chaffin stated during his interview that he was generally concerned with the potential for DMN headlines, and, as a result, he withheld numerous recommendations from the audit report. Mr. Chaffin explained that he made a judgment call to leave these recommendations out of the audit report.
3. UT System and UTSW audits failed to alert officials at UT System or UTSW that there were risks related to Dr. Wildenthal's spending and expense documentation. The risk plans outlined by the auditors at the outset of their inquiries, the audits and the audit reports were inadequate because they failed to address significant questions related to Dr. Wildenthal's travel and entertainment expenses as President of UTSW. Robert Rubel, Director of Internal Audit at UTSW, who conducted the annual audits of Dr. Wildenthal's travel and entertainment expenses as President of UTSW, never questioned any of Dr. Wildenthal's travel or entertainment expenses. Charles Chaffin, Chief Audit Executive for UT System, who conducted various UT System audits of UTSW, developed significant concerns regarding Dr. Wildenthal's travel and entertainment expenses, but made the decision not to document his concerns in various audit reports, including an audit report which described the results of a "change in management audit" conducted in December 2008 when Dr. Wildenthal stepped down as President of UTSW. Mr. Chaffin specifically chose not to document his concerns that Dr Wildenthal's travel and entertainment expenses had more of a personal benefit than a specific business purpose and benefit to UTSW and that Dr. Wildenthal frequently failed to include in the documentation of such expenses the names of the donors whom he traveled to see and entertained. Hence, by not asking the right questions or documenting significant findings, the auditors failed to alert UT System and UTSW officials to substantial risks and concerns.
So… do the right thing… get hammered. Do the wrong thing… get hammered. How do we win this thing? Part of it has got to come down to voting with our feet. BUT, if we keep moving on to clean and cooperative clients, then we aren't much use, are we? Auditing is dangerous.
I'd love your input.

Allow's discuss format first. In terms of design, there are presently three kinds of intending systems in the game. The very first is portable city, the 2nd is Water-based city, and the 3rd is characteristic city.
Portable cities: How to appropriately make use of the fairly minimal land sources in the beginning to make the metropolitan population develop quickly? Building a small city is absolutely a good concept. In the game, buildings such as roads, homes, solution centers, and also landscapes all occupy land sources. Taking the shortest section of the road as a referral, the housing location is 2X2. The highest degree of station house, police headquarters and also healthcare facility covers a location of 2X4. By staying clear of creating too many roadways, you can conserve more land resources to develop a residence or a park-like structure that will boost the percentage of the population. The roadway layout method for recommendation right here is to separate the suburb with 2 straight roads and attempt not to create upright roadways. It's additionally crucial to build a park, school, and cover as several homes as feasible to raise the city's population more effectively!

In addition, gamers can transform the all-natural scenery of the game and open the river for the city, and also if you develop sufficient water in the city, turning your city right into a simulated water Venice is not a desire!
The landscape structure needs the player city to reach degree 6 to construct. Presently, Origin CD Keys players can see two types of scenic structures in the video game: all type of trees and lakes. Unlike various other metropolitan buildings, where trees as well as lakes do not require to be connected to roads, they can bring joy to the bordering domestic buildings, consequently advertising urban populace development. To this end, when there are private plots in your city that are tough to connect with the roadway, you can fill them with all-natural buildings.
Characteristic buildingsare based upon their own preferred, using the sources in their hands to make the city an unique as well as one-of-a-kind city. Right here are a few of the distinct cities that people have found.

A Contemporary, Evidence-Based Language Training Curriculum
Learning How to Learn
From day 1, researchers across multiple universities have set out to directly test the reliability, validity, and effectiveness of the PEAK Relational Training System. Although there is still much more research to be done, PEAK is one of the most extensively researched, ABA-based language training curricula available.
PEAK Relational Training System was developed so that it could be used by teachers, parents, caregivers, and behavior analysts. Although PEAK was created from behavior analytic foundations, instructions are written in a non-technical way so that everybody can understand.
Several training opportunities are offered each year, ranging from a comprehensive PEAK certification program, to conference presentations and poster displays of new data.
