text: Holly Spangler Archives Email Author Follow @Holly Spangler A Bushel and a Peck and Something to Smile About My Generation Feeling beat by the heat? This little video may just give you something to smile about, especially if you, too, are heading to a fair this week. Published on: July 23, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Our county fair starts today, kicking off a week of showing, sweating and overall good times. (I'm trying to be optimistic, given forecasted temps of 102 for days on end. It will be fun. Right?) At any rate, the annual Fulton County Fair Talent Show is tonight and in honor of that, I share this little video. Maybe you saw it last year or back in 2010 when they first performed. It's my two oldest kids, singing and dancing to "I Love You a Bushel and Peck" when they were just 5 and 7. I laugh until I cry, every time I watch it. And I've heard from more than a few of you who watched it, only to have your spouse in the next room wonder what in the world you're watching! Jenna will be performing again tonight, reviving "It's a Hard Knock Life" from our annual Ellisville play with a group of neighborhood girls. I don't know if they'll win, but they've sure had a good time practicing and hanging out together. So today, if you're feeling hot and tired and a little cranky and maybe a little pessimistic, give this five minutes of your time. It won't make it rain, but I think it might cheer you up, just a bit.

Chelsea's Under-18 side made it three wins in a row thanks to two composed finishes from Ambrose Gnahore, added to in the second half by Jordan Houghton, Dominic Solanke and Chike Kandi (pictured).
Adi Viveash made two changes from the side that won so impressively at Blackburn last time out, bringing in Fankaty Dabo and George Brady for Chike Kandi and Kevin Wright.
Chelsea's youngsters started the brighter and it took a combination of good defending and misplaced passing to deny the lively Solanke on three separate occasions in the opening stages.
It was our visitors from the North-East who fashioned the first clear opportunity, though. Mark Kitching's cross was met with a rasping volley by Callum Cooke, but his effort was deflected over before it could trouble Bradley Collins in the Chelsea goal.
Our Under-18 side have been full of goals this season and it took them less than 10 minutes to open the scoring here. Solanke picked the ball up deep and released Gnahore in the inside left channel. The winger raced through and made no mistake, coolly finishing under the onrushing Fryer.
The lead was almost doubled just two minutes later when a penetrating long ball from Brady released Dabo. He skipped past Fryer and as the angle narrowed attempted to pick out Solanke or Gnahore in the middle, but the recovering Boro defenders did just enough to clear before a player in blue could finish the chance off.
Chelsea were playing an impressive pressing game, winning the ball in midfield again and again and our dominance was soon rewarded with a second goal. Solanke battled with Boro's two central defenders for possession, and when the ball ran free Gnahore was on hand to race through and slide his shot past Fryer in a very similar vein to his first of the afternoon.
The prominent Gnahore had a chance for his hat-trick minutes later when a weak Fryer punch fell to him on the edge of the box but his effort cleared the bar.
A Middlesbrough corner then caused problems for Collins in the Chelsea goal but skipper Jonathan Muleba was alert to head clear near his own goal line.
The home side were next to threaten from a set-piece; Kasey Palmer's corner was not dealt with and Fryer eventually produced a flying stop from Dabo. Chelsea's no.11 went even closer from the resulting corner but his shot from close range was brilliantly cleared off the line, before Gnahore's effort was smothered behind by the overworked Boro keeper. Palmer might have added to our lead before the interval but his rising drive flew over after great work from Ola Aina.
Middlesbrough started the second period better but a change from Viveash on 55 reaped immediate dividends. He replaced Mukhtar Ali with Chike Kandi, leaving Solanke to drop deeper behind the substitute.
Within a couple of minutes of the change we had added two more goals. First, a lovely reverse pass from Solanke released Jordan Houghton, who finished emphatically with his left foot high beyond Fryer. Solanke then got the goal his performance merited. He started the move, setting Kandi free down the right. The substitute was denied by the base of the post, but Solanke was on hand to finish the move he started for his sixth goal of the season. Chelsea now led 4-0.
Boro tried to respond after the hour but Cooke's drive flashed just wide with Collins rooted to the spot.
Chelsea soon added a fifth goal, and what a goal it was. Kandi picked the ball up with his back to goal, turned away from two men and headed for goal. He danced his way through seemingly the whole Boro backline, some more than once, before finding space for a shot and lashing the ball past Fryer. It was a sumptuous end to a magnificent solo run, and an impressive way for the striker to open his account for the season.
Boro had looked pretty toothless in the final third and were restricted to long shots by Chelsea's impressive central defenders Brady and Dion Conroy. Kitching was next to try his luck from range but he couldn't hit the target as our youngsters did everything they could to ensure a first clean sheet since the opening game of the season. Though dangerous on the break, particularly through Kandi and substitute Tammy Abraham, we couldn't add to our impressive tally in the closing stages, eventually running out deserved 5-0 winners.
Chelsea (4-3-3): Bradley Collins; Ola Aina, Dion Conroy, George Brady, Jonathon Muleba (c); Mukhtar Ali (Chike Kandi 55), Kasey Palmer (Kyle Scott 60), Jordan Houghton; Fankaty Dabo, Dominic Solanke (Tammy Abraham 68), Ambrose Gnahore.
Unused subs: Ben Killip.
Middlesbrough: Joe Fryer; Priestley Griffiths, Joe Wheatley, Jonathan Coleby (Matthew Elsdon 54), John Helm; Dael Fry, Calum Cooke, Mark Kitching (c), Tom McAloon; Luke Armstrong (Matthew Wyke 65), Jordan Jones (Junior Mandal h/t).
Unused subs: Tom Dawson, Lewis Maloney.

Highlights/ Lowlights Of 2012.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:20 PM
My theatre review of 2012 can be seen on my blog now. I think the link's on my profile page.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:26 PM
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:42 PM
Lynette, on 29 December 2012 - 11:26 PM, said:
I second that. Well acted, thought provoking and emotional by the end.
Gregory Doran does seem to work well with actors. I was listening to the documentary on the Julius Caesar DVD and it seems he tells each actor why he chose them to play the role and giving them the confidence to go away and explore their characters themselves.

Best (favourite first)
1 The Curious Incident of the Dog in Night Time (National Cottesloe) - thrilling, well acted and staged. Luke Treadaway probably the performance of the year.
2 The Effect (National Cottesloe) - despite being overlong, constantly engaging and great performances from all four actors, but particularly Jonjo O'Neill and Billie Piper. Shows that Rupert Goold doesn't have to do "flashy" all the time
3 Merrily We Roll Along (Menier) - the Menier back on form and a great show, even if it is one for the Sondheimites.
4 Twelfth Night (Globe) - a lesson in how Mark Rylance and his company eked every line of humour possible from a play and actually make Shakespeare funny with faithful performances.
5 Sweeney Todd (Adelphi) - gruelsome, funny and Imelda Staunton was so darkly comic, she deserves at least some awards.
6 Collaborators (National Cottesloe and Olivier) - Simon Russell Beale and Alex Jennings lived up to expectations, and a sharp, inventive script, well staged (in both theatres).
7 Richard II (Donmar) - exquisite production - although Eddie Redmayne was good, not quite as excellent as he can be. A fitting end to the magnificant Grandage era at the Donmar
8 A Midsummer's Nights Dream (Regent's Park) - ridiculously over the top and transformed into a loud Gypsy wedding, but a rare evening of summer sunshine helped this shine.
Could do better..
Filumena (Almeida) - what happened with the weird cockney accents for Italians. Laughable and not in a good way
Donmar - despite some good plays (The Recruiting Officer and Philadephia Here I Come!), the buzz seems to have gone for me, with the Physicists and Making Noise Quietly both a bit disppointing. Maybe I am superficial and go for the star names...
National - The Last of the Haussmans and People fell short in their writing, whereas the Cottesloe provided the year's two highlights.
Other so-so plays were The Wizard of Oz (pedestrian despite many of the elements being there), The Changeling and Three Sisters (both Young Vic) - a bit too radically different.
The worst play of the year for me though was..Berenice (Donmar) despite Anne Marie Duff who never gives a duff performance ..dull, dull, dull play.
Not theatre, but Tosca (ENO) and Swan Lake (Royal Opera House) would probably rate near the top, which was a surprise as they were my first opera and ballet I've attended here.
Similarly, although not as good at the Opening Ceremony, attending the Olympics Closing Ceremony and the feel-good factor was probably the highlight of the year. In a way, I suspect the Olympics is one reason why theatre in 2012 was slightly put in the shade.

Pro Analysis: It's time for some humble pie for our commentator Lee as a resurgent Philippe Gilbert bounced back to his best on the Cauberg yesterday to take his third Amstel Gold victory. Lee Rodgers analyzes all the action from the Netherland's only Classic.
Apr 21, 2014 - Philippe Gilbert has 2 from 2 in the Ardennes Classics, more to come? We have all the results, quotes and video from Amstel, Denain, Finistère and Tro-Bro Léon, plus we preview Flèche Wallonne. Other cycling news: Contador copies Sky, no Giro for Cav, Horner on the mend and a little more video from Roubaix. Happy Easter EuroTrash Monday!
Race Report: On a day when we waited, waited & waited some more for the big guns to make their move it came down to the man that had won here before to show the others how to ride the Cauberg and take the win in the Amstel Gold.
The day before Paris-Roubaix amateurs had an opportunity to ride the storied cobbles themselves during the Paris-Roubaix Sportive. For those not willing to publicly display their pavé riding ineptitude, on the same day to the east another sportive mirroring a pro course provided an opportunity to publicly display one's climbing ineptitude instead. We sent our man Leslie to try the 2014 Brabanste Pijl.
A Readers' Rig could be anything from a modern classic to a vintage steely, a lightweight carbon or more - but why not all of the above? Canadian PEZ fan, Jim has 4 bikes that easily qualify as Readers' Rigs so we decided to feature all four - a Trek 5200, a Colnago C50, a 1988 Marinoni Special and a Guru Photon.
Roadside Report: Amongst the thousands of crazies roadside in the dust at Paris-Roubaix on Sunday was our own Lee Rodgers who was chasing the race with Velo Classic Tours. Seeing the Hell of the North live is a once in a lifetime experience and just like Lee's ride across these hellish roads a couple days prior, this day was nothing short of 'epic'.
Everyone remembers their first time - the foreign road signs, different shop hours, chasing about countryside like idiots - all to catch a glimpse of cycling's most feared one-day Classic. David Pearce did all that and more at Paris-Roubaix, and lucky for us - he recorded the day on his camera.
Apr 17, 2014 - BMC's Philippe Gilbert is showing he is on form for the Ardennes Classics with a win in Brabantse and Bryan Coquard wins in Camembert; results, quotes and video. Other cycling news: Amstel teams' low-down, Robert Gesinks' heart problem, Arnaud Demare extends, Giro news and a backstage pass to Roubaix. Thursday EuroTrash coffee time.
The Amstel Gold Race is on this Sunday around the hills and traffic furniture laden streets of Holland's Limburg province and it's a brutal race of attrition defined by more than 30 hills. With more twists and turns than a good detective novel the winner is often decided only in the closing kilometers. Ed Hood takes a look at the course and contenders for 2014.
PEZ-Clusive: From the start in Compiègne to the cobbles of the Arenberg Forest and on to the mythical velodrome in Roubaix, photographer Patrick Verhoest was there alongside the riders. Here's a look you'll only see on PEZ at his day following the Queen of the Classics, Paris-Roubaix'14.
The Amstel Gold Race signals the start of the Ardennes Classics, and the first signs of who's looking good for the Giro. Raced over the hills, dales, and forests of south eastern Holland, the course selects its own worthy winner. Almost 20 years ago it was Mauro Gianetti who was making the news.
Confidence is the single most important mental factor in cycling. I define it as how strongly you believe in your ability to achieve your cycling goals. Confidence is so important because you may have the fitness to ride well, but if you don't believe in that fitness, then you won't ride up to your capabilities.
On the Friday before the big race Lee Rodgers and the Velo Classic crew hit the cobbles for their own Paris Roubaix for 124 kilometers of torture over the famous Roubaix stones. 18 pavé sections in total and memories to last a lifetime.
Apr14, 2014 - That's the Hell of the North done and dusted for another year and we have everything you need to know here in EuroTrash Monday. Rider quotes and video action from Roubaix, plus we catch up with the Vuelta al País Vasco, Circuit de la Sarthe, GP Pino Cerami, Chris Horner and Europcar. Maybe a cappuccino with a dusting of chocolate?
Race Report: Crashes, attacks, punctures - it was the beautiful mayhem that we love about Paris-Roubaix as Patrick Lefevre's OmegaPharma-Quickstep squad again showed their strength in numbers and tactics as Niki Terpstra surged clear in a late solo move to take the biggest win of his career.
He scored 139 professional wins, including the Three days of De Panne an amazing five times, Ghent-Wevelgem, The Tour of Flanders and, in 1987, Paris-Roubaix. It was one of the most savage editions of the race, ever with only 47 finishers from 192 starters. Ed Hood caught up with Eric to talk about that day and his other career highlights.
One of the best parts of travel is eating, and drinking, the different and delicious tastes from another part of the world. Pez's Lee Rodgers just had the best meal of his life in a Belgium, but it should be no surprise as exquisite dining is also part of Velo Classic Tours' raison d'etre. Prepare to drool...
Best Of PEZ:The culmination of my visit to Holy Week was the long anticipated, much feared, and never completed ride across the parcours of Paris-Roubaix. Finally I learned what it was like to battle the toughest roads in northern France and earn my own lap of honour at the Roubaix velodrome.
Roadside Report: Joking with a former Paris-Roubaix winner, chatting with current stars of the sport and mixing in the VIP area with podium girls and other lucky fans - Lee Rodgers certainly had a great day out at Wednesday's Scheldeprijs. For the race end Lee was at the finishline under sunny skies sipping a cool drink and munching on free food. Could life as a bike fan get any better than this?
Apr 10, 2014 - Its Paris-Roubaix time and we give you the run down on 'The Hell of the North' plus race reports from País Vasco, Circuit de la Sarthe and the Scheldeprijs with results and video. In other cycling news: Agostini retires, Giro d'Italia, Richie Porte, BC Superweek, Amgen Tour of California Women's Races and video from 3M. A cobbled sized EuroTrash Thursday.

Main :: XD-V Digital Wireless Microphones
wireless mic forums
by jantzen on 2012-06-19 22:14:07
I'm looking for a wireless microphone system and stumbled upon the LIne6. It seems this is much better than the lowned Shure stuff. But i have a question:
1) Sound difference between V35/55/75. Are there any? I noticed they all have different handheld transmitter, but is the signal path the same on all 3 of them, just different in wireless capability and modelling?
2) Are all 3 handheld transmitter compatible with Heil/Shure capsules?
3) Sound difference between the older generation V30/V70 and this new generation?
The technical information isn't very clear on the page and I'd love to know the answers to the above!
Many thanks,
by RonMarton on 2012-06-20 03:26:20
G'day Jantzen...
By way of introducing myself, I'd like to make it clear that I'm neither affilliated with, nor have any particular loyalty to, Line 6. (Click on the pink pic at left for a bit of info about my background.)
I put this "up front" because we're in the "Land Of Opinion" here. (I'd like to think that we are a million miles away from the "Republic Of Hype"...)
In my opinion, there are currently only two other manufacturers out there who offer wireless signal paths (mic to receiver) that are as transparent as those of Line 6's XD-V systems. In other words, near as dammit CD quality from source to sound desk.
When comparing those two to XD-V systems, (taking care to only compare individual model combinations that are similar in range from transmitter to receiver) I find those competitors to be anywhere from one-third more expensive to double the price, with roughly half the features and flexibility.
It also seems that you need to pay roughly double the price for wireless mic systems that are as rugged and ergonomic as Line 6's, be they the latest generation spread-spectrum digitals or "older-tech" analog.
"Sound difference" from XD-V30 to XD-V75 ?
Aah, ...well, ...ahem, ...the answer to that one's a definite "Yes, No and Maybe"...
- Yes: Bottom of the range handhelds and beltpacks sound fabulous, but lack the comprehensively variable sound models and variable processing of the more expensive ones.
- No: The transmission path of any XD-V system exhibits the same crystal-clear, "un-squeezed" fidelity from source to receiver output.
- Maybe: If you only need shorter wireless range and aren't in need of more than six systems, then V30's will suit you really well, V35's if you need to avoid "treading on" WiFi or Bluetooth that's part of your set-up.
(I've addressed that last "maybe" issue as "sound difference" because inadequate range will result in "drop-outs" or no sound at all ...and that's a damn big difference !)
"Heil/Shure capsules ?"
The same threaded capsule mount (albeit coloured differently) is common to all the handhelds, ...however, ...to my mind, the substitution of another maker's capsule is only ever required when it's absolutely critical to maintain the continuity of pre-existing techniques and monitoring.
These Community Support Forums are yet another "unique to Line 6" offering and you should definitely check them out before attempting any swap or spending extra cash.
Here's the latest discussion of the Heil: http://line6.com/support/thread/78082?tstart=0
by jantzen on 2012-06-20 08:42:58
Hi Ron,
Many thanks for the detailed reply. Yes I'm well aware this is a land of opinion. And yes I did read the other thread about the RC-35 needing the pad removed to sound its best. And yes I've read many experience like yours on forums so I gathered that these line6 wireless is really good. Btw, would you be so kind to name them?
I actually have a PGX shure which i am very very disappointed with. And from what I've gathered, the sound of the wireless receiver/transmitter is the same all through SLX/ULX. It was unusable to me.
I've recorded a live show where the PA guys were using Sennheiser G3/935 series and the sound was good. But I am not familiar with their system, or do I know of any processing they've done, so I can't form an educated opinion, but I suspect they are much better than the Shure.
Anyway, I guess what I'm really asking is, barring any interference and range capabilities AND modelling, are the signal path designed to be the same? i.e., if I turn off all environment filter and modelling (by inserting a foreign capsule), is the sound going to be the same 10feet from the receiver with no interference?
Are the preamp and encoder in the handheld identical? Are the decoders in the receiver and the analog circuit after that the same by design? These will help me make a purchase decision since I'm really only ever using it 10 feet away from the receiver max, and I'm not planning on using the models atm.
by RonMarton on 2012-06-20 17:02:45
I'm sorry if my "opinion" disclaimer offended you, Jantzen...
It was only ever intended to assist with your evaluation of my posts.
Now on to your further queries, in order...
Of the other sonically equal systems I had in mind, only AKG's DMS 70 and DMS 700 are fully digital and also feature spread-spectrum frequency diversity in the 2.4GHz WiFi/Bluetooth ISM band, very much along the same lines as Line 6's XD-V's. I've always loved the vocal sound from AKG's D5 capsule since its release, but you can buy four of Line 6's top-of-the-range THH12 handhelds for the price of a single AKG DHT 700.
The other operates in the 500-700MHz UHF band via what its makers call their "digital hybrid" system. It's from Lectrosonics and is available as either "six pack" rack mount "Venue" receivers, "twin pack" field receivers, known as "SR", or a single channel stand-alone R400a receiver. Lectrosonics' superb-sounding gear is even more compact, rugged and ergonomic than Line 6's, but you'll end up paying about three times the price once you've configured an equivalent system.
I'm with you in greatly preferrring Sennheiser's "family sound" to that of Shure. The G3 system you mentioned is roughly the same price as Line 6's XD-V75 handheld package, but is an analog system operating in the ever more crowded 500-600MHz UHF band. To my ears, Sennheiser's mult-band companding is vastly more transparent than Shure's, but the G3's feature set is equally vastly inferior to that of the XD-V75. It has no modeling, adjustable dynamic processing or antenna splitting, and it's less rugged.
Moving back to Line 6's gear, ...from what you say, I think you'd probably rule out Line 6's XD-V30 and V35, as they have Shure modeling permanently engaged. Even though that modeling would be bypassed with a replacement capsule, I think some dynamic processing remains. That leaves the middle V55 and top V75.
(Broadly speaking, the V35's half the price of the top of the range V75, with the V55 sitting midway between them.)
As I set out in my earlier post, I regard all XD-V systems as being fully transparent from source to receiver output.
What the capsule puts out is what turns up at the receiver's rear panel.
Therefore the only decision that would seem to remain is whether or not you can justify the extra expense (in the order of $150 US) for the greater flexibility, processing and signal interrogation facilities of the V75.
I would urge you not to dismiss their value without first having tried them.
by jantzen on 2012-06-21 02:08:42
Hi Ron,
Oh NO NO! No offence at all. I just meant we all know that forums are "land of opinions" and that I can't exactly form my own conclusion until I've tried it. And I am planning on trying it. But for my needs, as long as there are no quality difference between all the models apart from the modelling technology and more robust wireless capabilities. I believe the low end one will suffice for now.
Many many thanks for the detailed reply,
by bazesax on 2012-07-15 17:28:05
I had a v30 system and used it with the heil rc35 capsule.
I upgraded to newer model v35 and I was shocked when I realized that the
heil does not fit with the new transmitter. now I have to sell the system.
I really don't know what is going on here.
the other dissapointment : there is not a suitcase for the system. not a big deal,
but why?!
btw, this system is not bad at all.
by RonMarton on 2012-07-15 21:38:27
Hello again, bazesax...
It may be worth your while to re-check a "Heil RC-35 capsule fitting" thread to which you contributed a couple of months ago:
Along with the fact that the V35 seems to use the same model (THH06) handheld as the V30, the above discussion makes me think that the individual handheld that's giving you grief may have a defect in its capsule mount, ...along the lines of those reported (and since rectified) by penluis and chrispeters29.
Accordingly, if the system that's now in question is new, I would think that any such defect should be covered under warranty.
Regarding a case, even though the XD-V35 is ruggedly built for freestanding operation, you may still be able to pack, carry and operate it (along with its accessories) in something like this offering from Gator:
alt="http://www.gatorcases.com/userfiles/images/ProductImages/thumbs/GM-1W_7_G1.jpg_70.jpg"class="jive-image" src="http://www.gatorcases.com/userfiles/images/ProductImages/thumbs/GM-1W_7_G1.jpg_70.jpg"/>http://www.gatorcases.com/userfiles/images/ProductImages/thumbs/GM-1W_8_P1.jpg_70.jpg"class="jive-image" src="http://www.gatorcases.com/userfiles/images/ProductImages/thumbs/GM-1W_8_P1.jpg_70.jpg"/>
Gator's GM-1W is generally available for just under $50 US.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

The River Community Church (TRC) has a new home! They are now meeting at 889 E Santa Clara Street in Ventura and it is a permanent location for Pastor Jim Duran and his team at TRC.
Jim & Pam Duran started a Bible Study called "The River" in January 2004 at his sister's condo on Stillwater Ct. But there was nothing ""still" with the "moving" river. After three months, The River moved to Aegis Assisted Living in Ventura where they added music to their Bible study and started becoming more like a church service.
In June of 2004, TRC moved to Washington School and spent two years holding services there while restoring the 400-seat auditorium. In June of 2006, they moved into The Lighthouse Christian Fellowship on Mesa Verde Ave. near Skating Plus.
After four years, TRC moved to The Harbor Community Church where their congregation continued meeting in the evenings. In June of this year, TRC moved again to The Ventura Vineyard. Pastor Bob Harper said to Jim Duran," We would like for this location to be your meeting place until you have your own permanent home."
Who knew that three months later TRC would be offered the property on the corner of Santa Clara and Kalorama Streets? And yes, their very own property. "I have been waiting eight years to say this: Good Morning everyone!" says Pastor Jim as he opened his first service at 10:00 AM. It was a packed house with standing room only.
But equally as amazing as TRC getting their own location, is the amazing property they were given. The property is where Horizon Foursquare Church has met for the past twenty-six years and prior to that was called Ventura Foursquare Church. "This place is rich with history," says Duran.
In 1926, Herman D. & Lela B. Mitzner had a tent revival in Ventura that started this eight-six year journey in Ventura that has spread all over the world. On November 18th, 1936 the headlines read: "Two thousand singing Crusaders led by Aimee Semple McPherson and carried forward by the inspiring hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers' took possession of downtown Ventura today."
On May 17th, 1939 the headlines read: "Last Friday night, May 12, was one of the most outstanding days in the history of the Ventura Foursquare Church, when they dedicated their beautiful new Church Building, with our own President and Founder, Aimee Semple McPherson, officiating and bringing the dedicatory address. Mayor Johnson of Ventura, personally welcomed Sister McPherson to Ventura."
Ventura Foursquare continued to grow in numbers and recognition. Chuck Smith, who founded Calvary Chapels, was a member and pastor at Ventura Foursquare Church prior to him pioneering his own movement. Calvary Chapel later gave birth to The Vineyard Christian Fellowship Movement.
From 1982 to 1985, Herman & Margaret Rosenberger were pastors of Ventura Foursquare until passing the baton to Dennis & Patsy Easter. This is when the name changed to Horizon Foursquare. Pastor Dennis Easter had a congregation of 450 people and due to his leadership many churches have been birthed.
"This property has been the catalyst for so many ministries throughout the nation and we are honored and privileged to accept this great responsibility," says Duran, Senior Pastor of TRC. "I love this city and the people in it. We are committed to partnering with our community to enhance the quality of life for those who choose to walk with us. And we are hoping to make our new property a hub for the city of Ventura in order to be a resource to our community.
The River Community Church is known for being "Your partners in life." Their service time is at 10:00 AM every Sunday and at 5:30 PM on the first Sunday of every month. For more information about The River Community Church, please visit their website at www.TheRiverCommunity.org or call the church office at (805) 212-8240.

The muscled, handsome model D.O. relaxes shirtless, watching some television. His hot young neighbor, Aaron Blake comes knocking, looking for D.O.s son. D.O. invites Aaron in to wait, and hes intrigued by Aarons hook-up app on his phone. After he takes a look at the naked men on the app, and making sure his sons friend is legal, D.O. makes a move, luring Aaron over by showing him his huge thick Latin meat. With one of the hottest men on the face of the planet in front of him, Aaron quickly forgets about the app and gets right down to business with some fatherly coaching from D.O.. Aaron wants to please his friends father so much that he strains and stretches to swallow the behemoth cock in front of him. After teaching Aaron how to take a massive cock down his throat, D.O. asks Aaron if he wants it inside him. Aaron is eager to please and definitely wants D.O. fully inside of him. Aaron starts to show his hole to D.O., and its game on. D.O. preps, pokes and pounds the hole like a master, and Aaron cant get enough. D.O. wants to make sure Aaron experiences this amazing fuck in every which way as he switches from position to position, until Aaron is on his back with D.O. slamming a huge load of cum out of him, which D.O. replies to with multiple sprays onto Aarons chest.

Court: Kanawha school board no longer forced to help fund library
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The State Supreme Court sided with the Kanawha County school board Friday, freeing it from its contested relationship with the public library and ending a decade-long legal battle.
Per the court ruling, the school board is no longer forced to allocate part of its annual budget to fund the Kanawha County library.
A 1957 state law dictates that nine school systems in West Virginia must turn over a portion of their budget to help fund public libraries in their counties. In Kanawha County, that would amount to a payout of nearly $3 million in the current fiscal year.
That relationship has been the subject of a legal battle between the two organizations. In 2003, school officials sued the West Virginia Department of Education to recover money they were forced to spend on libraries, arguing that the law requiring them to do so was unreasonable, and that they should receive a couple of million dollars more in state aid each year because of the requirement. The state Supreme Court ruled in the board's favor in 2006.
In 2007, the Legislature passed a bill in an attempt to resolve the controversy, but Kanawha County officials were not appeased.
The school board went to court again, and in 2011, Kanawha Chief Circuit Judge Paul Zakaib ruled that the 1957 mandate was unconstitutional, but rejected a request from the school system that would have required the library buy a bond to repay the school system.
Friday's Supreme Court ruling upheld that decision.
"It's about time that the library is no longer going to have a parasitic relationship with the Board of Education," said school board President Pete Thaw. "It's always been grossly unfair that we had to give money out of the classroom to support the library." Funding from the school board amounts to nearly 40 percent of the library's annual budget.

BOISE -- The Rocky Mountain baseball won their 10th straight game on Thursday night, knocking off Capital, 8-3.
Mason Smith led the offensive charge for the Grizzlies, going 2-for-4 with two RBI. On the season, the Utah-bound centerfielder is hitting an even .500, with a team-high 27 RBI.
On the mound, senior right-hander Josh Gasser ran his record to 5-0. Gasser tossed a complete game against Capital, while allowing just two earned runs and striking out five.
The Grizzlies entered the evening with just a 1.5 game lead over the Eagles in the 5A SIC standings. With the win, Rocky Mountain improves to 13-and-1 overall on the season, including 9-and-1 in league play.
The Griz and Eagles will play each other once again on Friday. First pitch will take place a 6:00 p.m. at Capital High

I've been noticing that there isn't much input by the gay/bi/non-straight identifying members of this forum and I count more than 30 percent, that's 300+, of us are not completely straight. it's true that most topics aren't gay-specific so there's no need to come out. I know of a few of us who are "not straight" (I'll use this expression to not exclude anyone in my community) because they have said so in their messages or to me privately. But nowhere near 30 percent...
...Aneros would seem to be a natural fit for non-straight men. And it also frustrates me not to know what, if anything, I can about it. So I'm putting it out there.
Someone could start a topic specifically for non-straight men and anyone could contribute. Or is there an option to have a private conversation? Is that what "chat" is? It seems to me that there are some areas of aneros use that may generally concern non-straight men more than straight men. I am really just asking what's going on and if anyone else has felt the need for this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by doughboy22 Love it. This is such a classic shirt. I bought the red one but i also have 2 other colors. I like wearing shirts like this the way this one is modeled,untucked and buttoned up. This looks great with slacks or jeans. The piping around the collar and placket make this a very stylish shirt. December 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by lkokot Well made product I have to say the shirt is very well made and comfortable. I'm not crazy about the front pocked, but other than that I would definitely recommend this to a friend. December 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rudi Good price and love the quality I love the simplicity and thank you for the great deal on it. It arrived perfectly and ready to wear but my wife prefers to wash it first and at first, this worried me a bit. But after following the instructions exactly, it came out perfectly fine and ready to wear. Will buy another one because if my main one goes down, I have another. November 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by HuskyConsumer Deceptive sizzing Upon receipt, the shirts looked good and I looked forward to wearing them.However, I was very disappointed when the "heritage" xxl I ordered was at least a size smaller than xxl's of other polo's I have purchased. Turn's out "Heritage" means a slimmer fit This is unclear unless you dig through the site. Even given a slim fit, this was no xxl. November 4, 2013

Many people have allergic reactions when they are stung by insects. Insects such as bees, bumble bees, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, and fire ants have the ability to inject venom into humans and animals. In the United States overall, yellow jackets cause the most allergic reactions. In the South, fire ants are more common. Venom in the insects contains proteins which causes allergic reactions in people.
Usually, an insect sting allergy occurs a few minutes after the sting, while more severe reactions are experienced within minutes. Insect stings may not always result in a reaction on the first sting. However, a very strong allergic reaction may occur on the second sting. A more serious reaction is known as an anaphylactic reaction, and people often die from it. People who are highly allergic to insect stings should wear a medic alert bracelet and have epinephrine available in the form of an Epi-pen or Ana-kit. If a reaction takes a few days to develop, the symptoms are less severe.
Signs and symptoms
The most common symptoms and signs that are experienced by most people who have an allergic reaction to an insect sting include:
- Swelling
- Pain
- Intense itching
- Eye itching
If someone experiences a severe allergic reaction, symptoms of anaphylaxis may appear and they include:
- Rapid pulse
- Wheezing
- Difficulty breathing
- Swelling of the throat and tongue
- Severe drop in blood pressure
- Nausea and vomiting
- Anxiety
- Confusion
- Severe stomach cramps

Chemoembolization With or Without Sorafenib Tosylate in Treating Patients With Liver Cancer That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery
Adult Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma | Localized Unresectable Adult Primary Liver Cancer | Recurrent Adult Primary Liver Cancer
Trial Phase
Phase 3
Trial Purpose and Description
Trial Purpose
This randomized phase III trial is studying chemoembolization and sorafenib tosylate to see how well they work compared with chemoembolization alone in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, mitomycin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by carrying drugs directly into the tumor and blocking the blood flow to the tumor. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether giving chemoembolization together with sorafenib tosylate is more effective than chemoembolization alone in treating patients with liver cancer.
Trial Description
I. To compare Progression-Free Survival (PFS) of chemoembolization alone to sorafenib in combination with chemoembolization.
I. To compare overall survival (OS) of chemoembolization alone to sorafenib in combination with chemoembolization.
II. To evaluate extra-hepatic versus intra-hepatic patterns of failure. III. To determine the rates of toxicity related to Sorafenib in combination with chemoembolization.
I. To analyze the pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic properties of Sorafenib including angiogenesis, monooxygenases, polymorphisms and MDR.
II. ECOG secondary imaging objective: Site vs. Central evaluation of PFS. III. To determine the inter-reader concordance for response characterization at four and eight months by the European Association for the Study of Liver (EASL) criteria.
IV. To determine the value of objective tumor response at four and eight months by the EASL criteria to predict PFS (by RECIST) and OS.
V. To evaluate the effects of intra-hepatic vs. extra-hepatic progression on OS.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to macrovascular intrahepatic portal vein invasion (present vs absent), Child Pugh score (A vs B7), and chemoembolization method (doxorubicin-eluting bead vs conventional). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive sorafenib tosylate orally (PO) twice daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning within 2 weeks after a stable dose of sorafenib tosylate is reached, patients undergo transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) comprising doxorubicin hydrochloride, mitomycin C, and cisplatin (closed to accrual as of 10/1/2010); conventional chemoembolization comprising doxorubicin hydrochloride only; or chemoembolization comprising doxorubicin-eluting beads. Treatment with TACE repeats approximately every 4 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO twice daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning within 2 weeks after a stable dose of placebo is reached, patients undergo TACE as in arm I.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: After completion of chemoembolization, patients receive sorafenib tosylate or placebo as in arm I and II in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo chest, abdomen, and/or pelvis CT scans or MRI at baseline, at 4 and 8 months, and every 2 months thereafter.
Blood and tissue samples may be collected at baseline and periodically during study for pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic studies. After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for 4 years.
