What financial services are available through DomaCom?
DomaCom holds an AFSL (No. 444365) under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
DomaCom is authorised under its AFSL to provide general financial product advice to retail and wholesale clients on the following classes of financial products:
- deposit and payment products limited to basic deposit products; and
- interests in managed investment schemes excluding investor directed portfolio services.
DomaCom is also authorised to deal in financial products. In particular, DomaCom is authorised to:
- issue, apply for, acquire, vary or dispose of interests in managed investment schemes excluding investor directed portfolio services; and
- apply for, acquire, vary or dispose of a financial product on behalf of another person in respect of deposit and payment products limited to basic deposit products.
DomaCom is also authorised to make a market in units in sub funds of the Fund. DomaCom intends to make a market in units (that is, to regularly state prices at which it is willing to buy and sell units in a sub-fund) and it will provide the facility for the buying and selling of units on the DomaCom platform. DomaCom acting on its own behalf, may bid or offer to buy and sell units in a sub-fund from time to time, at its discretion entirely and will stipulate the prices at which it will do so. Perpetual is the issuer of the financial product under the PDS and the relevant supplementary Product Disclosure Statement. However, Perpetual is not involved in any way with the secondary market facility.
When providing these financial services we act on our own behalf.
Our Client Services team does not have any alliance with any other fund manager.
What are the fees, charges and commissions?
Managing the Fund
DomaCom does not charge retail clients for any fees for any information or general advice provided to retail clients. DomaCom as Investment Manager of the Fund receives a management fee from Perpetual. The fees payable for investing in the Fund are described in detail in the PDS which is available on our website at www.domacom.com.au. The management fee payable to DomaCom cannot exceed 0.22% per annum (inc. GST) for the value of investments in the Fund Cash Pool (as defined in the PDS) and 0.88% per annum (inc. GST) for the value of investments in a sub fund of the Fund (as defined in the PDS).
There are no commissions payable to DomaCom for any general advice or services delivered. No rebates are payable to DomaCom in relation to its services relating to the Fund. DomaCom staff receive a salary that incorporates base salary along with bonuses and other benefits from time to time.
Making a Market
DomaCom will charge a fee of 2.75 (0.0275%) basis points inclusive of GST on the consideration it pays or receives when it buy or sells units in a sub fund in the course of making a market for those units.
Insurance and Compensation coverage
Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Act), and regulations made under that Act, DomaCom as the holder of an Australian Financial Services Licence is required to have professional indemnity insurance that is adequate having regard to the nature of our business and the potential for compensation claims.
DomaCom has an investment managers' insurance policy in place which covers professional indemnity, crime, information technology and directors' and officers' liability insurance. DomaCom is satisfied with the adequacy of that cover. The cover available to DomaCom extends to include losses arising from the conduct of former employees or representatives of DomaCom (which occurred during their employment with, or service for DomaCom) as if those persons were still employed by, or were still representatives of DomaCom. Senior management reviews the insurance coverage and policies annually.
These arrangements satisfy the requirements for compensation as required under the Act.

1. Our Service to you
DomaCom prides itself on the high quality of service provided to each of its customers. However, there may be instances where customers may feel dissatisfied with the service provided. If this is the case, we are keen to hear about your grievance so that we can remedy the problem swiftly.
2. The Procedure if you have a complaint
We are committed to providing high quality services and products so if you have a complaint, please let us know. We will investigate your concerns as quickly as possible to resolve them to your satisfaction.
To assist us to help you:
- Gather all your supporting documents, think about the questions you want answered and how you would like your complaint resolved; and
- Contact us as soon as possible.
If you're not sure whether you wish to complain, but you want to raise an issue or a suggestion with us, you're welcome to contact us by telephone on 1300 365 930 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
One of our client services team will review the situation and if possible, resolve it straight away. A quick call is all that's required to resolve most issues. However, if the matter isn't resolved to your satisfaction, please write to our Client Services Manager (either by email or by post) at one of the addresses set out in Part 6 below. Include the details of your complaint and any supporting documentation.
If you are an investor in the DomaCom Fund and you raise an issue with us which relates to your investment in the DomaCom Fund and we do not resolve it within one business day of receipt, we will forward it to the Responsible Entity of the DomaCom Fund who will address it in accordance with their own complaints process. More information about the Responsible Entity's process is set out here: http://www.perpetual.com.au/making-a-complaint.aspx
In all other cases, DomaCom will acknowledge your complaint in writing within five (5) business days of receipt and will endeavour to resolve the complaint within forty five (45) days.
If your complaint is made in writing you will receive a response in writing advising you of the reasons for the outcome, and explaining what further action is open to you if you are dissatisfied with the response.
3. What happens next
We'll acknowledge your complaint within five business days from when we receive it.
We'll aim to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible, if not immediately. While most matters can be resolved quickly, more complex issues may take longer. By law, we are required to respond and finalise your complaint within a maximum of 45 days.
We'll let you know the outcome and reasoning in relation to your complaint as soon as possible.
For more complex matters, we will keep you informed of the progress and let you know when you can reasonably expect a response.
4. We keep records about your complaints
See our privacy policy for information about how we treat personal information that might be relevant to your complaint.
Complaints register
We will record all formal complaints in a "Complaint register" and all disputes in a "Dispute register".
We will make every endeavour to advise you of the outcome of your dispute within 5 business days of being notified of the dispute.
5. Dispute Resolution Process
Should any dispute between us remain unresolved after forty five days, you are entitled in accordance with section 912A(2)(b) and 1017G(2)(b) of the Corporations Act to access the appropriate External Dispute Resolution Scheme.
The financial services regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), issue Australian Financial Services Licenses (AFSL) to providers of financial services. One of the conditions of an AFSL is that the license holder must be a member of an approved External Dispute Resolution (EDR) scheme if they are dealing with retail clients. DomaCom holds an AFSL (444365) and FOS is an approved EDR scheme. DomaCom has nominated FOS as its EDR scheme (DomaCom's FOS membership number is 33299).
FOS is an external dispute resolution (EDR) scheme that was established to provide free advice and assistance to consumers to help them in resolving complaints relating to members of the financial services industry, including insurance, life insurance, pooled superannuation trusts, funds management, financial advice, stock broking, investment advice, banking and sales of financial or investment products. There is no charge to consumers for any service provided by FOS in handling complaints. FOS is a national service.
The FOS process aims, in the first instance, to resolve complaints by mutual agreement between the parties. If this is not possible, the matter can be referred to the Panel or the Adjudicator who, pursuant to the FOS Rules, has the ability to make a formal determination which is binding on DomaCom.
6. Contact details

- Writing to us:
- via email: email@example.com; or

Toure backing squad to shine
Kolo Toure hopes Arsenal can maintain their fine form despite losing a number of key players to the African Cup of Nations.
By James Pearson
Last Updated: 04/01/08 9:51am
Kolo Toure hopes Arsenal can maintain their fine form despite losing a number of key players to the African Cup of Nations.
The Gunners will suffer more than most with Emmanuel Eboue and Alexandre Song joining the Ivory Coast centre-half at the tournament in Ghana later this month.
Toure knows it is a crucial stage of the season for Arsene Wenger's men, who currently lead the Premier League, and wants to return after the tournament with the Gunners still challenging.
The likes of Philippe Senderos and Johan Djourou will be vying to fill the void vacated by Toure's absence and he has no qualms about who Wenger may opt for.
"This is an important part of the season for Arsenal and a lot can happen in that time," Toure told the Daily Express.
"But the team is still on top because the squad is really strong and we know all the players will fight and will wait for us to come back.
"And yes, of course when we do come back I still expect them still to be up there at the top and still challenging.
"So the players who come in for me, for Emmanuel, will do their best. They will do a really good job. I am confident about that, definitely."
Toure will depart for Ghana following the conclusion of Sunday's FA Cup third round clash at Championship outfit Burnley.

They tell me that my memory will never be the same, that I'll start forgetting things. At first just a little, and then a lot. So I'm writing to remember.
Sammie McCoy is a girl with a plan: graduate at the top of her class and get out of her small town as soon as possible. Nothing will stand in her way - not even the rare genetic disorder the doctors say will slowly steal her memories and then her health.
So the memory book is born: a journal written to Sammie's future self, so she can remember everything, from where she stashed her study guides to just how great it feels to have a best friend again. It's where she'll record every perfect detail of her first date with longtime crush Stuart, a gifted young writer home for the summer. And where she'll admit how much she's missed her childhood friend, Cooper, and the ridiculous lengths he will go to to make her laugh. The memory book will ensure Sammie never forgets the most important parts of her life - the people who have broken her heart, those who have mended it - and, most of all, that if she's going to die, she's going to die living.
This moving and remarkable novel introduces an inspiring character you're sure to remember long after the last minute.

"Sammie's voice is a bright, relatable, and uncompromising one.... Strengths abound in Avery's touching novel, and Sammie's relationships, both friendly and romantic, are no exception.... Fans of John Green's work and Jennifer Niven's All the Bright Places will be reaching for the tissue box at the book's tear-inducing end." (School Library Journal)
"Avery (A Million Miles Away, 2015) balances humor and devastating sadness perfectly. Sammie's voice is sympathetic but not pitiful as she relates her hopes for the future and thoughts on the past...a story of self discovery that's hard to put down." (Booklist)
"Things you will probably experience while reading this wonderful book: gut-wrenching hope, ugly-crying, the joy of finding beautiful moments in the midst of difficult times. Enjoy." (Adi Alsaid, author of Let's Get Lost and Never Always Sometimes)
"Don't be like me, have tissues handy."
I started listening to this book driving to work and within 10 minutes I was crying. I have cried, laughed and bawled like a baby.

Boosted by the new Mini Countryman and the revamped BMW 5 series, BMW AG said that its 2010 profit surged more than 15-fold, rising to EUR3.23 billion ($4.47 billion) from EUR210 million a year earlier. Such figure bested the average estimate of EUR2.91 billion from 13 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. In 2010, revenue rose 19 percent to EUR60.5 billion.
A 36 percent increase in demand for the overhauled 5-series sedan in China and the United States helped boost BMW's profit.
In its first full year, the X1 compact SUV sold more than 100,000 units, while the Countryman, the Mini brand's first four-door model, sold 14,337 units since being launched in September 2010. Jose Asumendi, a London-based analyst with Royal Bank of Scotland, said BMW must build off such results and profit from its outstanding product momentum.
BMW proposed a record dividend of EUR1.30 per common share, more than triple the 30 cents paid the previous year. Premium carmakers see sales gains in 2011 on higher spending in the United States and growing wealth in China, the world's two biggest car markets. Audi AG's owner, Volkwagen AG, is adding extra shifts to meet demand, CEO Martin Winterkorn recently said in Wolfsburg.
There is a clear distinction between the new MINI Countryman and the brand's current product lineup, as expressed in the body design. With dimensions of 4,097 mm (161.3 inches) in length -- 4,110 mm (161.8 inches) for the MINI Cooper S Countryman -- 1,789 mm (70.4 inches) in width and 1,561 mm (61.5 inches) in height, new MINI Countryman represents a fusion between increased ground clearance, a raised seating position and the traditional brand proportions.
In truer sense, the MINI Countryman fills the blanks between the classic MINI concept and a Sports Activity Vehicle. The design of the MINI Countryman is an embodiment of the latest development of the brand's unique design language. Likewise, it is also a showcase of the fresh interpretations of the brand's basic design elements, like the striking three-level split of body and greenhouse and roof, as well as a front end marked by large headlights, the hexagonal radiator grille and upright windscreen.
Further design elements include vertically stacked rear lights as well as the "cascading" contours of the rear that broaden as they flow from roof to wheel. The Countryman also features a number of distinctive MINI design details like headlights and rear lights that are attached like "islands" into the body and a side scuttle located between the front wing and door. Moreover, the Countryman also features a greenhouse that tapers back to the rear – a feature that distinguishes the vehicle as a true MINI.
All of these features and elements combine to give the new MINI Countryman a design that conveys not only performance and robustness, but also originality and versatility, while keeping the customary MINI charm and allure intact. Endowing the new MINI Countryman with a mature and stylishly aggressive look is its structured front end marked by an upright radiator grille, large headlight units and a contoured bonnet.
The front end rises up not only to comply with current pedestrian protection laws but also to give the Countryman a dynamic stance, which is further emphasized by a tapering powerdome. Its headlights are still located at their traditional MINI position -- on the outer edges of the bonnet.
These chrome surrounds on the headlights extend into the crossover's shoulders to further highlight its width. Noticeably, the headlights are shaped unlike the classic circular form of the other current MINI models. Their upper edge slants to the outside to provide more presence to the wheel arches. Meanwhile, their inner edge seems to be shying away from the radiator grille.

This assignment allowed me to realize things that I never thought of. Since the beginning of the semester I never thought differently about this goal. I still understand and know where I stand with this goal. I would like for several people to understand and know where they stand when it comes down to accepting God. One assignment in particular that helped with this goal is the J-Miller. In this assignment we were asked to write a letter to William Miller and in my letter I wrote some very inspirational words. The reason I say they are inspirational is because anything that talks about my Lord and Savior is always good. The assignment helped me to progress toward realizing the J2E goal by allowing me to use it to understand the goal. I see myself progressing in this goal for the future is always keeping in mind who comes first and the one that wakes me up each and everyday. In this sinful world everybody needs to God to pull them through. Life isn't a joke and we know that without the acceptance of God life is nothing. While passing out tracks about 2 weeks ago we were encouraging many people to accept God and read about his law known as the Ten Commandments. Some rejected and some were happy to get it. We were told that they are glad to see us out spreading the gospel. I was very glad to hear that knowing we could save one soul on that particular day. One bad thing that happened was when this one lady decided that she would curse and tell us to go on about our business. That wasn't nice, but we kept going until we were finish. I was really glad that day and I know that our God was filled with joy seeing his servant's spread is love and the power of is word.
2/7: J: Miller
This assignment helped me to realize more on how being committed to the church really is. When this assignment was first given I was wondering what would I write. I sat at my computer and I kept thinking until something came to mind, but it was quite easy because it was given out of the bible book and it was something that I already read. At times my brain happens to die and just wouldn't function for nothing. I got it to working and I journalized on what was asked. It helps me with the goal commitment to the church because I wrote about some possible reasons why God did not spell out all of the doctrines to Ellen G. White. In my own words a doctrine is a peace of literature that some one has written or that someone has taught. Back in the bible days I believe many doctrines were taught and written. This assignment can help me to move forward in the future because I will always think about Ellen and what she had to do because God did not spell out all of t he doctrines. A good thing he did not spell out all the doctrines because many would want to seek answers instead of seek God. One thing about being committed to the church is that you have to seek God and answers right alone with it. Many people don't understand what commitment really means. I know on the last portfolio I was not that committed to the church, but now I am. I do what I can do when I can do it. In some cases the people in the church push people away because of the things that they do and say. Sometimes I feel like we really don't need church as long as we can still talk to our God whenever and wherever we want to. We don't have to seek God in the church because many people find him at home, on the streets, or even at school. Why do you think commitment to the church is important?
This assignment helped me with this goal because I was able to develop something that I once did not have. It gave me the ability to use my brain and create CLQ that I can journal about. Throughout the whole year we created our own CLQ's and I really enjoyed doing them because it was fun and it put a test to my brain or should I say my thinking. Each CLQ that I created was done less than 15 minutes. God knew what he was doing blessed us with a brain. This assignment has helped me to realize how important it is to develop goals. I see myself progressing toward the future in this goal by telling people about when I was in the 10th grade in AE21 in my Sophomore Humanities class and how we created CLQ's and our fellow classmates journal on how they affected them and how it can help them in the future. Not only does it help me with my journals, but also it helps me with my relationship with God. A relationship with God is so very important. Some people tell me that since God created us he knows us, but they don't look at it like you don't know him you just know what he is capable of. In order to make it in the kingdom of Heaven you have to have that relationship because how are you going to go to someone else home and you don't even know him or her. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want you there either if you did not take out the time to get to them when you had several chances. God is giving us a lot of time to get to know before he ascends from Heaven. When Judgment shall come he is going to tell you that you and I did not have an interpersonal relationship and you did not take out the time to get to know me like you should, so why should I know you?
This assignment has helped me to realize that this goal should be used throughout everyday life. The reason I say that is because we should help people even if they need or not. Throughout the year the legacy projects really played an important role in my life. I never even heard of a legacy project or thought about leaving a legacy until I got in this class. I really thank Mrs. Bacon for doing such a thing. I had a tremendous time working with Jessika and I hope she had a good time working with me. We took pictures while giving care packages out and they were glad to receive them. This goal can help me progress toward the future because I will always think about what type of legacy I can leave behind and how I can help the next person succeed. Doing things like that really makes the Lord happy and he blesses us for all the good things that we do. The bible says that "All things work together for good" and that is something that is true because once you bless someone with something you will be blessed. It kind of reminds me of paying your tithe and offering because you are to pay 10% and you will be blessed with more. You have to be responsible for your citizenship because if not where would you be. This is a goal that we all should keep in mind. Some of us just doesn't have it in our heart to help the next person. Thank God for Jesus because we were given life and we can help the next. I give Jesus the highest praise because he was willing to take on all of our iniquities so that we may live , but instead some of us still refuse to help the needed.
5/4:Legacy Project
This assignment helped me in this goal because I was able to develop more on healthy balanced living. While doing the assignments I thought about everything that takes place. In the media today several things take place and adults think that it is just so terrible, sometime it can be educational. I really don't know because I don't watch T.V. but when I do it is really nothing bad. The only time they show something bad is late at night and most of the time the children be sleep except for on the weekend. Living a healthy balanced life is hard only if you make it hard. Sometime you feel like you just can't give it up. When you first look at this goal you may think that it is just talking about eating, but it can mean mental, physical, or spiritual. Some people are poor in all of these areas and they don't realize it. Many people in the world walk around living dead and they don't know it. The media speaks as a physical type of healthy balanced living. The people are doing physical things either good or bad. •This assignment can help m with this goal in the future by helping me to understand that living healthy is very important and I need to make sure that everything that I do is in a healthy manner. •Several wonder why they are sick and have all types of disease and they don't think about how they eat and what they eat. I know that I am not in shape and I don't eat the way I suppose to eat, but I can say that I am working on it the best I can. Exercise is very important and it something that we all should do. Our church is having this fasting thing and I fail. We were to fast from Friday sunset to Sabbath sunset. It will take place again but this time it will be 40 days. I really like the whole fasting thing and I hope that it can help us all to live a healthy balance life.
This assignment helped me in this goal by understanding that health is very important and just for it we should look to God and praise him for the goodness that he stores upon us. While doing this assignment I felt as if health is very important and we need to value it better than we do anything else besides life. We all have a choice to be healthy or not to be healthy. It is a big decision that we have to make because being healthy can solve a lot of things. There are some kinds of decision making that we have to make everyday. This goal will be used a lot in my future because I will have to make several decisions and I will have to take care of my health. We all should develop intellectually so that we can better understand what shall take place. Throughout the year I have used this goal to keep up my intellectual living. This goal can help me toward the future by helping me to keep in mind the best way to make decisions I have developed in certain areas by applying this goal. Are you intellectual in Christ? We may not notice this, but Christ also, applies this goal because he has to make decisions for us and he helps us solve problems when we are in the time of trouble. Developing a body of knowledge is very important. To develop in some areas it takes time and understanding of what you are really suppose to be doing. I really didn't know that I apply so many goals until I got in your class and studied the goals. I really like this goal and it is one that I know that everyone apply everyday. Do you catch yourself making decisions all the time?
This assignment helped me in this goal because I was able to develop communication skills. I learned how to communicate with different types of people and they really were glad to receive the things that we prepared for them. While doing the legacy projects we had to develop communication skills because you have to talk to the people and the person that you are working with. Communication Skills are very important and by now I think that I have developed greatly. I know that some people don't like to talk too much and I am one of those people. Being afraid to open your mouth will not get you anywhere in the world. This goal can help me progress in the future by talking to people just to see how they are living and see how they feel about life or what is going on. I feel that everyone should build communication skills with God. If you don't communicate with him, how can you get to know him? As we communicate with him he communicates back with us. God wants his children to communicate with him even though he sees everything that goes on with each and every one of us. If someone ever decide to work in the restaurant business, or teacher you'll have to good communication skills. I know several people that have good communication skills, such as my mother. All pastors should have good communication skills because they have to talk with the members in case they are down and out or even if they are doing well. I have good communication skills with my family and friends and that is good because back when I was in elementary school I did not talk much and everyone was shock when I got in middle school and started talking.
2/3:Legacy Project
2/3:Legacy Project
Personal management is one of ten that is also a very important goal. Many Christians have personal management. People that are acting on a Christian role and that are saved shall function responsibly everyday in the world with Christian principles. There are like two members in my church that reflect on stewardship and tell us the amount that the church has made and so on and so forth. One of the biggest people that you should look at is the pastor to see if he's developing the right kind of personal management. Many people outside the church does/does not function the way that they should throughout everyday life. I am one of many that do well in this goal. This can help me progress toward the future because in life you have some kind personal management. Maybe when it comes down to husbands and wives, you both will have to have something called personal. Everyone shall have personal management with Christ and I'm pretty sure that he would love us to. Christ has personal management with us by communicating with us when we need him and when we just need someone to talk when there is no one else. Christ is your best friend and that is the best person to share your situations with. I wouldn't quite say that being personal is a huge responsibility, but it takes some kind of developing. The bible is a big area that I need to grow personal in. Also, the other readers and doers need to have personal management. Christian principles are very important and hold you kind of responsible for your actions that take place everyday in the world. More than one assignment helped me with this goal, but one in particular helped me and it is the thesis statement. The thesis statement helped me to understand more of what I am to reflect about.
4/12:Thesis Statement
4/12:Thesis Statement
This is one of the many goals that really mean a lot to me. I remember doing an assignment in biology titled "Flower Dissection". We had to put each part of the flower under a microscope and draw what we saw. I find that assignment very interesting and wouldn't mind doing it again. I really appreciate what God has done for us. I love him for that and we all could never repay him for what he done for his children. From the 1st to the 6th day God made a sacrifice to create Heaven and Earth for us sinners. The 7th day is the day that God ended his work and rested. Also, the 7th day is known as the Sabbath and many of us are Seventh Day Adventist and worship the Sabbath. I truly believe in the religion and I really like it. Aesthetic Appreciation is used in many museums. I appreciate what many have done in performing arts. One place that I can remember is the Orlando Science Center and there you can go and see all types of pictures that has been created by all ages. I wish that I could be really creative so that I can place my art in museums and receive some type of credit. I am not that good with my hands, but I can do a little bit. God's creation means a lot to me and just to think about what he has done for us just warms my heart. Many of us turn our backs on God and don't show him that we appreciate what he has done for us. God did such a beautiful job on Earth until I just can't wait until I get to Heaven to what it looks like. How can we repay him for the greatness that he did?
This assignment helped me with this goal because I was able to develop a type of service.Once again we have conducted another assignment titled the "Legacy Project". I was able to give away more care packages to support the homeless in their needs. A Christian will be there for the ones that are in need. Career and Service is something that we all should encounter to help and develop in Christ. God would like for us to serve him and do what we need to do. Serving someone else is very important and it will get you many of blessings. In school there is Community Service and you do that so that you can get the correct amount of hours for college. Community Service consist of doing things for the community such as, mowing the lawn, picking up trash, cleaning the school, and more. Keeping the community clean is important because, who would want to live in a dirty environment? I know many people do, so that question would not be addressed to everyone. I know that many inmates that are in jail or in prison keep the community clean. I take out time sometime to keep my property clean at my house, it just doesn't seem right to keep your area looking a mess. If you have any kids it is best to raise them up the right way and teach them to understand the purpose of career and service. This goal can help me progress toward the future by helping me to develop and to do better in my career and service and to stay focus. God give us life to do what we need to do for people and our environment. In this goal we are suppose to develop a Christian work and appreciate the dignity of service

Dear William Miller,
How can you believe such a thing? Deism is a very bad belief and I can't picture how someone cannot believe in God the way that they should. I have prayed for you and wished you luck on your life. I was overwhelmed to hear about your conversion. I know that it is not that hard for a person to change when they learn the truth about the living God. I am aware that once you accepted Jesus as your Savior and your friend and after you joined the church and began family worship, your deist friends thought that was just a little too much. I am very glad that you did that; it couldn't have made me even happier. Even though some may think that God is not with us every move that we make, but in reality he is. Remember this verse: (Matthew 10:29) Remember that God never loses sight of you. Look at the sparrows and see how little they're valued, and yet not one dies without God noticing it. Another, bible verse that I would like for you to take a look at is Romans 3:21-26. It's just a little too much to type, but in your spare I would gladly appreciate if you would read it. Please abandon your deist beliefs and become theism. There's nothing like believing in a God that cares for you and is actively involved in your life. Without God life is not real, he reveals things to us only if we don't want to know or if we would like to know. Abandon those bad beliefs and put God first in your life. There is nothing like have a man that is so PERFECT in your life. Do what you have to do and get back with me a let me know the outcome. My address is 223 Hope Circle, Orlando Florida 32811.
Your friend Angel L. Joiner
Some possible reasons why I think God didn't spell out all the doctrines to Ellen White in a vision because others such as the pioneers would depend on her. Instead, of seeking answers for themselves Ellen would have been their number one source. Such things like that are used in the schools today especially if they know that person is smart. Since God did not spell out all the doctrines they had to seek God themselves. I believe that God give visions in order to assist us in understanding what he has in stored for us. Also, I believe that he shows us visions to encourage us to look for answers. Well, lesson 8 in the bible book is what I find most meaningful. The reason being is because I learned several things and how things went during the bible days. Some of the things was just interesting especially the topic Seventh Day Baptist.
Thankfulness is something that only godly people possess.
Well, for the first time with the help of Jessika I was able to create a FFT. This FFT is very important and it is something that can carry you throughout life. I came up with this in less than 5 minutes I guess my brain was just ticking away or was my Lord and Savior? God demonstrates this quality in his life because he gives us the breath of life to lift him and thank him for all the great things he has done for us. God is so worthy to be praised and we should thank him and praise him for all the wondrous things he stores upon us. We should go throughout the world and tell the world how thankful we are to have a Creator like him and how much he loves us.
"Leaving a Legacy"
Throughout the whole year I find these legacy projects very helpful. Helping others is something that we all need to do. I feel that help from others is always needed. Some people seem to think that they do not need help and that they can do everything by themselves. I never thought of it as leaving a legacy, but something that was passed on or left behind. Jessika and I have helped the homeless by blessing them with care packages. We have taken pictures with them showing that they are grateful for what we done for them. Leaving a legacy is very important and it can add one more blessing from God. God bless us when we help the need of others. It is always good to help our community succeed in several things. The legacy project has allowed Jessika and I to see what adifference we can make in the world today. It started off as a small assignment, but grew into something big. I never realized that there are so many people in the world that are less fortunate than myself. The legacy project has made an affect on my life and hopefully forever. I will never look at a homeless person that same way. I now see them as human beings just like others and myself. The bible states that we should love thy neighbor as you would love thyself. That is what I plan to do in my everyday life. Thank you for making me abetter person by assigning these legacy projects and I hope our legacy of hope will live on forever.
Look to your health: and if you have it praise God and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that money cannot buy; therefore value it, and be thankful for it. Izaak Walton (1593- 1683)
I choose this FFT as my favorite because it was the only one that really grabbed my attention. This FFT affected me a way that I can look to my health and praise God for the goodness that he has stored upon me. This FFT can change the way I live by helping me to watch out on what I eat and what I do to not be healthy. One way I can say that it affects my actions is being more careful in what I do. The FFT can tie in with our unit theme "Leaving a Legacy for the Future" by putting Godand your health first in life. By keeping these two things you will have a much more better way of living. I think that the J2E goal Acceptance of God can help you to better understand this FFT because once you accept God you can look to your health and praise God and it is something you don't have to buy all you have to do is value it.
Journal: Tuesday: 04-05 J- CLQ:
Courage is like having the key to one's heart.
I came up with this FFT based off my own knowledge. I find it very interesting and true. If you only have a little courage you feel like you have the key to a person heart. Courage is something that everyone should have and God put us here to show love, courage, and so much more. I figure that I can use my head at times or when I want too.
The significant reaction that I learned from the media assignment is that people are always trying to get you to buy something. I really don't react on the commercials or things that I see in a magazine. Some media is true and some of it is to just make someone rich. The society is all messed up with some of the media that goes on. This is a website that talk about the media in America.

Legacy Project
~ About us ~
Jessika Claude and Angel Joiner meet at Eccelston Elementary. In elementary school they talked rarely but when they were united in the 10th grade they became inseparable.
Being in the same class they had the same assignments. Their teacher, Mrs.Bacon, assignedthem to leave behind a legacy. After thinking hard about leaving behind a legacy behind they made a decision and that how "Care Packets" came along. When looking out in the world there are many homeless people. Personal hygiene is important even if you are homeless. In the "Care Packet" is included a bar of soap, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a granola bar, a bottle of water and a wash cloth.
~ Facts you didn't know~
Reliable statistics of the number of people sleeping rough are rare for previous centuries. Street counts only began in this century – one carried out in 1991 put the number at 1,275.
We know that about one in ten people sleeping rough are women, and that one in six are under 25 and one in 14 over 60.
Surveys show that nearly three-quarters of homeless individuals sleeping on the streets suffer from chronic mental illness. It is also estimated that, on a given day, between 40 and 50 percent of homeless single adults residing in the municipal shelter system have a chronic mental illness.

Pakistan wins its 1st test series in Caribbean
ROSEAU, Dominica (AP) Pakistan won its first test series in the Caribbean after a dramatic end to the third test on Sunday, finally dismissing West Indies for 202 in its second innings with just one over left on day 5.
Roston Chase was left stranded on 101 not out as Pakistan won by 101 runs to clinch the three-match series 2-1.
It looked like West Indies was about to salvage an astonishing draw when last man out Shannon Gabriel (4) foolishly chose attack as the best form of defense against Yasir Shah, who finished with 5-92. Gabriel needlessly swung at the ball and edged it back onto his wicket at the end of the 96th over. At the other end, Chase, who scored 69 in the first innings and also took five wickets in the match, would have needed to survive only six more balls for a draw.
The series finale was at least a fitting farewell to Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan in their last test match.
Misbah leaves as one of Pakistan's greatest captains, and Younis as the team's highest run-scorer, reaching 10,000 test runs during the first test.
West Indies was all out for 247 in reply to Pakistan's first-innings 376. Pakistan declared its second innings on 174-8, setting a run chase of 304.
Pakistan won the first test by seven wickets, and West Indies clinched the second by 106 runs.
On a tense final day's play, pacers Hasan Ali (3-33 off 20 overs), Mohammad Abbas (1-31 off 20) and Mohammad Amir (1-22 off 15) kept the run-rate down, not that much was coming off anyone's bat except Chase's. Shimron Hetmyer, bowled by Amir, was the next highest scorer in the innings on 25.
Jason Holder offered serious resistance before being trapped leg before wicket after tea by Hasan Ali for 22. Holder and Chase shared a 58-run partnership for the seventh wicket.
West Indies survived another 34 overs after Holder's departure with Pakistan snatching match and series victory at the death.
Earlier, West Indies resumed on 7-1 and lost three wickets in the morning session for 66 runs. Kraigg Brathwaite (6), Hetmyer and Shai Hope (17) were the men out. The hosts then went to tea on 146-6, needing an unlikely 158 more runs to beat Pakistan.

Ever since I was 11 years old and my first little nephew was born, I knew I wanted my first baby to be a sweet little boy. Marrying my wonderful sports obsessed husband only increased that want. As we talked about kids, he expressed wanting a little boy first so that he could play and teach him all sorts of sports and manly things. Also, I just can't help wanting a little mini Preston, with beautiful blue eyes and adorable face! I can already picture him smiling up at me every time I look at my sweet husband.
So yesterday, after waiting for what seemed like forever! we finally had our ultrasound appointment! I wen't in super excited I couldn't wait to find out what we were having! As the Dr. started the ultrasound he took his sweet time! Starting with the head and working his way down slowly. As wonderful as it was to know everything was healthy and perfect with our little one, I just couldn't help being impatient to know the gender already!!! Finally he got down there and pointed to what all seemed like blobs and said, "do you see that little penis sticking up?" My heart literally skipped a beat! "Its a boy?!" I said. "No that's just the umbilical cord, I was just kidding with you.." Oh man what a punk! He continued looking and finally said that the umbilical cord was in between the baby's legs so he couldn't get a clear picture, but if he had to guess he would say girl just because he couldn't see a little penis. But he left the gender spot blank at told us we'd have to try again...in a MONTH! Well no way was I waiting that long! I wen't home and scheduled an appointment with an ultrasound technician. We'd be paying, I just had to know!
So today! I prayed and prayed that we would be able to tell this time, we wen't in and the equipment was definitely higher quality, even I felt like I could tell right away when the lady found the spot in between our baby's legs with no delay, "It's a boy!" I immediately started crying and couldn't stop! Preston just laughed at me but I could tell he was excited too :)
I cannot wait to meet our little guy! I couldn't be happier! Now this pregnancy feels a little more real, when I feel little kicking and wiggling in there i'll know its my little baby boy!
Now for the overload of pictures that my wonderful talented little sister Jenna took for us!
Preston has some hops! Crazy boy! haha

The integrity of the handicap system is based on the accuracy of the information provided by the members. Not only is each member responsible for reporting scores for every round played under the rules of golf, each member must ensure that the score reported is accurate and timely.
Reviews of the scorecards from the monthly tournaments and the Wednesday sweeps have exposed numerous reporting errors. These include failure to post, failure to adjust, and simple addition errors. All of these errors affect the accuracy of each member's handicap and can provide members with unfair advantages or disadvantages.
In the past, we have either corrected gross errors or let other errors pass. In discussions, the board has decided to implement the following enforcement policy:
Any member who fails to post a round or posts a score that is more than 1 stroke from the proper score will be assessed a penalty round.
The handicap committee will review all scorecards and participant sheets from each Wednesday and monthly competition. Three days after the competition, the scores posted (on the local computer and on the Web) will be compared with the scores from the scorecards. If the score posted does not agree with the scorecard (within one stroke), a penalty round will be assessed. Note this will be enforced even if the score entered is lower than actually achieved.
The penalty round posted will be the equivalent of the lowest score posted from the player's current scoring record. This round will be marked with a "P" and will behave as if it were an actual score entered on the date the penalty is assessed.
Although addition errors seem to be the most common problem, failure to adjust seems to be a consistent problem. The adjustment (known as Equitable Stroke Control or ESC) limits the score a player may use for posting purposes on any hole. For players with a course handicap of 9 or less, the highest score allowed on any hole is double bogey. For players with a course handicap of 10 to 19, the highest score is 7, for Handicap 20-29, the highest score is 8. For handicap 30-39, the highest score is 9 and for handicaps of 40 or more, the highest allowed score is 10.
Please note: the "course handicap" is not the same as a player's "handicap index." It is the course handicap which determines the ESC adjustments to posted scores. Also, the ESC does not limit the score a player records for a competition. It only limits the score a player may use to post for handicap purposes.

Video: 230mph 'Vette crash
American company Hinson Motorsports attempted to break its own record for the standing mile in a Corvette last weekend at the Texas Mile.
FYI, that record was 224mph. They tried to go for a 230+mph run when something went horribly wrong. Their modified Corvette - packing a faintly ludicrous 1,738bhp - got airborne into its record-breaking attempt and came to a rest. Violently.
Using whatever luck was left in the universe, the driver managed to walk away unharmed, still unsure how he flipped dramatically. Watch the video below and then ask yourselves… how?

Allow qualifications before a rant. I don't design frames. I don't manufacture them. I don't sell them. But… I DO write about eyewear and have a hand in portraying said frames to professionals who DO design, manufacture and sell (dispense) them. So, in humble scribe capacity it annoyed the hell out of me that a "reporter" (Lesley Stahl) on the nationally broadcasted TV show "60 Minutes" tersely noted "all eyeglasses are the same, still made of a couple pieces of plastic or wire, some screws and glass."
I'm supposing by "glass" she was describing the lenses, and I'd guess that "wire" description might have something to do with the metal composition of certain frames with the hinge design fluffed over as "some screws." As for the plastic designation: Yes, zyl is plastic via its cellulose nitrate origins. That said, I'd like to stick a pair of said basic glasses as described (dismissed) on her misinformed face.
How does that feel missy? Are you ready for your audition to replace the late, never-great and ever-irritating Andy Rooney as the show's resident curmudgeon?
What? Your nose hurts? Your ears feel irritated? Those lenses are too heavy for you? You'd like a bit of color and something more in line with the designer shoes you wear? The screw won't… screw? Perhaps a bandage might relieve some of the pressure on the bridge of your nose. The lens just fell out? Maybe you could stick it back in with some super glue.
Excuse me, but did you just say that you can't see? You want a prescription?! I wouldn't advise that for that piece of junk you've described. It's becoming increasingly obvious to me that you never even took a scant look at the VAST diversity of eyewear choices in a diverse spread of pricing options out there from good value through to luxury eyewear. Why don't you take a look at the main feature in this very issue where 20/20 editorially highlights nearly 40 pairs of eyewear from 40 different eyewear companies? And then take a look at our new products section detailing eyewear from nearly 50 different resources.
I did observe you trying to glom two pairs for free from the company you were attempting to skewer. Have you ever thought about getting a nice pair of eyewear or sunglasses? Too expensive? Maybe you should sell off some of your shoes.

Clicker Training for Clever Cats: Learning Can Be Fun! by Martina Braun
English | Oct. 1, 2009 | ISBN: 3861279673 | 80 Pages | EPUB | 24.3 MB
There is a method of learning to which no mammal is impervious-not even cats. It is called "classical conditioning," and is used in a very specific way as part of clicker training. Every click results in something positive for the cat: a treat, a cuddle, a favorite game. Because cats are intelligent, they quickly understand what kind of behavior gets them a click and a reward, and they will experiment in order to find out what else might work. This manual explains what classical conditioning involves, why it works with every cat, how to avoid mistakes, and how to use rewards properly and develop chains and sequences of behavior, as well as small tricks.

The Day Buffalo Springfield Performed Their Final Concert
Buffalo Springfield were always a house of cards caught in a hurricane. Neil Young was — and still is — famous for going wherever his muse takes him, others be damned. From the band's earliest days Young had issues to deal with, including the onset of epilepsy, constant drug use, and apprehension about the band management and the music business in general. On May 5, 1968, Buffalo Springfield gave their final performance as a group.
Young had previously bailed on the band for their performance at the Monterey International Pop Festival in June of 1967. Stephen Stills brought in Byrds guitarist David Crosby for the gig, which also caused tension within the Byrds camp.
"Actually, the reason I initially left the group was because I didn't want to do the Johnny Carson Tonight Show," Young told Mojo in 1995. "I thought it was belittling what the Buffalo Springfield was doing. That audience wouldn't have understood us. We'd have been just a f—in' curiosity to them."
He left the band for the final time after a show at the Long Beach Arena in California. "I just couldn't handle it towards the end," said Young. "It wasn't me scheming on a solo career, it wasn't anything but my nerves. Everything started to go to f—ing fast. It was going crazy, joining and quitting, joining and quitting again. I began to feel like I didn't have to answer or obey anyone. I'd quit, then I`d come back 'cos it sounded so good. I just wasn't mature enough to deal with it."
Stills added, "We fell prey to the whole entourage system. Everybody had to have his own entourage and it got stupid. We forgot the initial brotherhood." It wouldn't be until a 2010 appearance at Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit, and a brief reunion tour in 2011, that the legendary band would again grace a live stage.
Buffalo Springfield's Set List From May, 5, 1968

"A Child's Claim to Fame"
"Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing"

Floor Speech of U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley
Home-Grown Ethanol
Delivered Thursday, December 2, 2010
It seems like every few weeks or so that there are a lot of misleading and misinformed accusations launched at our nation's renewable fuels producers. It's impossible to come to the Senate floor and respond to all of them, but sometimes the claims are so outrageous that they require an informed response. So, I'm here to give that response with emphasis upon the words informed.
Earlier this week, a number of my colleagues here in the Senate, including a few of my fellow Republicans, sent a letter to the majority and minority leaders expressing their opposition to extending the tax incentives for home-grown ethanol. Home-grown means that we're less dependent upon people like Dictator Chavez and the oil sheiks. My colleagues argued that the tax incentive for the production of clean home-grown ethanol is fiscally irresponsible. They express their support for allowing the 45-cent-per-gallon credit for ethanol use to expire. It's important to remember that the incentive exists to help the producers of ethanol compete with the big oil industry, and remember the big oil industry has been well supported by the federal treasury for more than a whole century.
Many of the Republican senators who signed on to that letter have also been leading the effort to ensure that no American sees their taxes go up on January 1, 2011, which will happen automatically if we don't do something this very month. The largest tax increase in the history of the country can happen without even a vote of the Congress because of the sunsetting law. And, of course, in that regard, I support the position of my Republican colleagues. But, a repeal of the ethanol tax incentive is a tax increase that will surely be passed on to the American consumer.
I'd like to remind my colleagues of a debate that we had earlier this year on an amendment offered by Senator Sanders. The amendment that he offered would have, among other things, repealed the $35 billion in tax subsidies enjoyed by oil and gas. Opponents of the Sanders amendment argued that repealing the oil and gas subsidies would reduce domestic energy production and drive up our dependence upon foreign oil. Now, opponents to the Sanders amendment argued that it would cost U.S. jobs and increase prices at the pump for consumers. Now, I agreed with the arguments of the opponents. All of my Republican colleagues and more than one-third of the Democrats did as well. Thus, Senator Sanders' amendment was defeated.
That majority against the Sanders amendment knew that if you tax something, you get less of it. Repealing incentives on ethanol would have the very same result. Well, guess what? I know that removing incentives for oil and gas will have the same impact as removing incentives for ethanol. We'll get less domestically produced ethanol and be more dependent upon those oil sheiks. But it will also cost U.S. jobs. It will increase our dependence on foreign oil. It will increase prices for American consumers. So whether it's jobs or increased dependence or increasing the price of gas, no American would like that to be the result.
Madam President, we're already dependent on foreign sources for more than 60 percent of our oil needs. We spend $730 million a day on imported oil. That money is leaving America for the Middle East and nutty dictators like Chavez.
Why do my colleagues want to increase our foreign energy dependence when we can produce that energy right here at home?
So I'd like to ask my colleagues who voted against repealing oil and gas subsidies but support repealing incentives for renewable fuels, how do you reconcile such inconsistency?
The fact is, it's intellectually inconsistent to say that increasing taxes on ethanol is justified, but it's irresponsible to do so on oil and gas production. If tax incentives lead to more domestic energy production and the result is good-paying jobs, why are only incentives for oil and gas important, but not for domestically produced renewable fuels?
It's even more ridiculous to claim that the 30 year-old ethanol industry is mature, and thus no longer needs the support that they get, while the century-old big oil industry still receives $35 billion in taxpayers' support. Regardless, I don't believe we should be raising taxes on any type of energy production or on any individual, particularly during a recession. Allowing the ethanol tax incentive to expire will raise taxes on producers, blenders and ultimately consumers of renewable fuel.
A lapse in the ethanol tax incentive is a gas tax increase of over five cents a gallon at the pump. I just don't see the logic in arguing for a gas tax increase when we have so many Americans unemployed or underemployed and struggling just to get by.
On Tuesday this week, all of my Republican colleagues and I signed a letter to Majority Leader Reid stating that preventing a tax increase, meaning mostly income tax increases, and providing economic certainty, should be our top priority in the remaining days of this congress. I know that we all agree that we cannot and should not allow job-killing tax hikes during a recession. Unfortunately, those members who have called for ending the ethanol incentive have directly contradicted this pledge because a lapse in the credit will raise taxes, costing over 100,000 U.S. jobs at a time of near 10 percent unemployment. The taxpayer watchdog group, Americans for Tax Reform, considers the lapse of an existing tax credit for ethanol to be a tax hike.
Now is not the time to impose a gas tax hike on the American people. Now is not the time to send pink slips to more than 100,000 ethanol-related jobs.
A year ago at this time, I came to the Senate floor to implore the democratic leadership to take action to extend expiring tax incentives for the biodiesel industry. They failed in their responsibility to extend that incentive and provide support for an important renewable industry. So, while 23,000 American jobs were supported on December 31 last year, nearly all those jobs have disappeared. An industry with a capacity to produce more than two billion gallons of renewable fuel a year is on track to produce less than 20 percent of that capacity this year.
Ethanol currently accounts for 10 percent of our transportation fuel. A study concluded that the ethanol industry contributed $8.4 billion to the federal treasury in 2009, $3.4 billion more than the ethanol incentive. Today the industry supports 400,000 U.S. jobs. That's why I support a home-grown renewable fuels industry, as I know the Obama administration does as well. I would encourage anyone who is unclear on the administration's position to contact Agriculture Secretary Vilsack.
I'd like to conclude by asking my colleagues if we allow the tax incentive to lapse from where should we import an additional 10 percent petroleum? Should we rely on Middle East oil sheiks or Hugo Chavez?
I would prefer to support a renewable fuel based right here at home rather than send it a pink slip. I would prefer to decrease our dependence on Hugo Chavez, not increase it, and I certainly don't want to support raising the tax on gasoline during recession. I would respectfully ask my colleagues to reconsider their support for this job-killing gas tax increase.
