Just so there's no confusion or awkwardness about the punchline, let me say it from the start--this scripture contains a joke. When you understand the cultural cues, it's actually a pretty funny joke. But that doesn't mean the point is not deathly serious.

March 15, 2012--Letter to the Presbytery
*As a means of staying connected with folks across the Presbytery in my capacity as Moderator this year, I plan to regularly post "letters" to the Presbytery. Your responses are not only welcomed but encouraged via phone, email, letter, and Facebook!
March 15, 2012
Dear Friends,
As we gathered for Sunday School at the Ronceverte Church this past week, someone asked our elder commissioner how Saturday's Presbytery meeting went? She said, "Good…bad…and good." I think that sums it up fairly.
The morning hours featured a powerful worship service and an educational training session. "Good!" After lunch there was a period of significant debate surrounding three Committee on Ministry (COM) recommendations, relating to a few churches who are leaving the denomination. "Bad." Finally, we heard good news from the pews and an inspiring testimonial on Bluestone. "Good!" (By the way, this was the first time we tried the new meeting format approved overwhelmingly in December by the Presbytery based on the Jeremiah 29:11 report, which worked very well!)
But I admit that the afternoon controversy captured much of my attention. I woke up at 4:30am Sunday morning troubled, not by the debate itself, but by its tenor. My soul ached as the debate replayed in my head. Ached.
Throughout this week, I've wondered: Where do we go from here? As much as I would like for the entire family to be united in our relationship with Christ despite our theological differences, the chances for our family to remain fully together right now seem slim. A few churches will probably petition the Presbytery to leave under the policy we adopted in December.
If those few churches do so, for goodness sake, let's conduct ourselves honorably and gracefully. Let's treat each other with the dignity we all deserve as children of God and members of the Christian family. For the sake of tender believers. For the sake of our children. For God's sake, since this is God's church, not ours.
Presbytery of West Virginia, I implore you to join me in prayer for our Presbytery as Paul instructs the church in Colossae (Col. 1:11-12): May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from God's glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.
Please also know that our Presbytery leadership is prayerfully acting in response to last weekend's meeting. I've been in touch with the Chair of the Committee on Ministry, the Interim Executive Presbyter, the Acting Stated Clerk, and the Chair of Council. We all are working to ensure that the Presbytery learns from the past so that we are better prepared for the future.
May God bless you, your family, your church, and your Presbytery of West Virginia.

Morning Worship, 3/11/12
There's a big debate in the church at-large today about how we should and should not behave like a business. Villanova University's School of Business even has a center for the Study of Church Management. On one hand, the church is like a business in many ways. We have employees and budgets and legal liability, right? We have to maintain the building and run websites and advertise programs. But…on the other hand, we aren't selling a product and we could care less about making a profit. We are a church, not a business. For me, the biggest difference between being the church and being in business is evident in today's Scripture.

Morning Worship, 3/4/12
If I asked you who was in your family, who would make the list? Blood relatives? Your parents and your children, your brothers and your sisters, your cousins? Would it stop there, or would you continue, with your dog and your cat, your best friend, maybe your pastor, the person who is sitting to your left or your right at church? Would it stop there, or would you continue, with people of deep faiths other than your own—Jews and Muslims who sought do the will of God?

Morning Worship, 2/26/12
The spirit and letter of the law don't always match. We know that from everyday life. Have you ever been forced to break the letter of the law in order to comply with its spirit? Have you ever had to speed following an ambulance to the hospital? Or lie to protect the truth? Have you ever had to get away from church to find God?

The Corporate world is all about deadlines. Whether you make them or fail to. They are the force behind what drives the day. They can give you a headache and cause you stress. There is the celebration when you make the targeted date . There is the procrastination when the deadline seems too far away to worry about. There is the triage performed when the deadline takes precedence over everything else that needs to get done.
Deadlines were one of the things I looked forward to not being faced with when I first left Corporate America. Especially those imposed upon by someone outside of myself.
But I've learned to embrace the deadline. I've learned that deadlines give structure to the day. Deadlines give you focus. Deadlines put you on a schedule.
I admit to being a little lax in my deadlines when I first left the corporate world. I wanted to revel in all the unstructured time I now had before me. All that time assured me that I would get everything I wanted to accomplish with some to spare. Or so I thought.
Without deadlines, even if you are making them up, not much is going to get done. Time slips away. Without a due date, you live in the illusion that you have all the time in the world. What's worse is you are left with a feeling you accomplished nothing.
There is something gratifying about checking off a goal list. Accomplishment breeds more accomplishment. In my year plus of being an authorpreneur, I have learned that without deadlines no writing is accomplished. I have learned to take the headache and pressure out of a deadline and embrace it.
I have a deadline to get through my second draft of my novel in the next two weeks. Another was to get this blog out today. Hitting the publish button not only feels pretty gratifying, it gives me the impetus to get cracking on that draft. You see, I am looking forward to those deadlines in my future that are forced upon me by someone else, the ones that will be given to me by my editor. But that won't happen until I check off my self imposed ones.

While listening to music, pressing the back key on the device does not end completely.
Music keeps playing in the background
I find it cumbersome to something to exit the NEUTRON APP from the lock screen.
I want to exit right from the playback screen.
What is the method????
How do I exit the NEUTRON APP???

Re: How do I exit the NEUTRON APP???
That is the intended behaviour. The playing of the music is supposed to be independent of the graphical user interface.
The back key exits the GUI, not the music.
If you want to stop the music while on the playing screen, use the stop button.
If you are not on the playing screen, invoke the playing screen.
As to the lock screen : that can be configured in Settings > User Interface > Lock Screen

Rosy Deal for Shriver
The latest celebrity to have a rose named after her is none other than California's first lady, Maria Shriver. The daughter of the Peace Corps's first director, Sargent Shriver, and the niece of President John F. Kennedy — not to mention a television reporter in her own right — Shriver today is best known as the wife of Austrian bodybuilder/actor/governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Shriver was reportedly looking for a white rose with large blossoms and a lot of fragrance, and Wilsonville, OR-based cataloger Edmunds' Roses just happened to have such a flower that was in need of a name. Edmunds' recently added the Maria Shiver rose to its catalog; each rosebush sells for $21.95, with 10% of the proceeds going to a charity of Shriver's choice. The cataloger vehemently denies reports that a tobacco-colored, cigar-scented Ah-nold rose is in development.
Crate & Barrel Takes a Page from the Personals
Proofing your layouts is onerous enough; now you have to make sure no one is using your catalog to post a personal ad. A photo assistant working on Crate & Barrel's fall book included his name and number on a message board propping one of the home decor cataloger/retailer's armoires. The phone number and "dinner with Marc" notation seemed innocuous — until the catalog hit the mail in September, and Marc Horowitz's phone began ringing off the hook with calls from beguiled bachelorettes. The 28-year-old San Franciscan said he'd expected to receive maybe five calls; he ended up fielding more than 500 in the first month alone. Horowitz subsequently decided to make a three-month, cross-country trip to meet some of his "respondents." In fact, he had more than 70 dates planned as of early October. We were going to print Horowitz's phone number here for kicks, but we figure he has enough on his plate for now.
Fruitcake 101
If you insist on sending someone a fruitcake this holiday season, at least have the decency to know the differences among varieties. Don't know a fruitcake's darkness from its density? Monastery Greetings spells it out for you in its Christmas 2004 catalog. The Cleveland Heights, OH-based mailer of products from monasteries, hermitages, and other religious communities includes a table that details the differences between its various Trappist fruitcakes, including the type, color, and consistency. For instance, the Guadalupe Abbey fruitcake is made with brandy and has a dark color and very dense consistency, while the Genesee Abbey fruitcake is infused with wine and has a light color with a moderately dense consistency. Monastery Greetings also warns that contrary to popular belief, fruitcakes do not keep forever but only for a few months when stored in a cool, dry place. And that's only for fruitcakes made with alcohol — those made without spirits must be refridgerated immediately. So if you have designs on regifting a fruitcake, don't delay.
NOTE: We'd prefer chocolate, but if you must send us a holiday fruitcake, we'll take the light, moderately dense Genesee Abbey butterscotch brand. Thank you in advance.
Avon Appalling
Parents of students at a Newark, CA, elementary school got an eyeful when their children brought home Avon fund-raising catalogs in late September. The 144-page books included several pages of revealing lingerie, as well as an ad for bust-enhancing cream — with a diagram to show how the cream works. Needless to say, the catalog raised more ire than funds. Following complaints from several parents about the catalog's racy content, the principal of Graham Elementary School admitted she should have perused the periodical more carefully and called off the fund-raising effort. Indeed, this one gets the booby prize.
Shed Some Light on This, Please
A Catalog Age staffer on Oct. 4 received an e-mail from candles marketer Illuminations confirming that her order had been shipped, complete with the UPS shipping tracking details. Only one problem: The staffer hadn't placed an order with Illuminations in months. The e-mail referred to an order that the staffer had placed in June that had arrived on schedule. When contacted, the company said it was indeed having problems, with several customers receiving confirmation e-mails for previous orders and that the staffer should just ignore it. While there's no harm done, we suggest Illuminations comb its system for glitches. Such errors do not inspire confidence in the online shopping medium.

Hundreds of Elmwood Park High School students streamed out of the school on Wednesday morning in a peaceful 17-minute demonstration of sympathy for the 17 victims of a Florida high school shooting last month.
With an air of solemnity, students assembled outside the doors of the school, located at 8201 W. Fullerton Ave., at around 10 a.m., and then walked as a group down Fullerton, filling the street, with some holding signs and leading chants in opposition to gun violence.
They then reassembled on the snow-crusted front lawn of the school for brief speeches and a moment of silence for the victims in the Feb. 14 shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
The gathering was "in honor of the 17 victims that were brutally murdered last month in Parkland, Florida," said Christopher Grimpe, one of the speakers. "This was an ordinary high school that was put on a national stage for the wrong reason. These students had goals just like us. These students were trying to get an education, just like us. Two of those students had been accepted into college, just like us seniors. These 17 victims did not die for nothing. Their deaths shall be remembered and will be the beginning of this revolution that will aim to maintain safety while students are trying to get an education."
"By participating in this walkout," said Grimpe, who was flanked by other students, some hoisting signs, "we are standing up for our inalienable right to ensure that a gun shall never be pointed or fired at any of us while school is in session. Let our voices be heard: this ends now."
Grimpe's statement was followed by applause and cheers.
Following the walkout, organizer Christian Caballero said that students started planning the event about two weeks ago, in line with other student demonstrations taking place throughout the country on what had been declared as National School Walkout Day.
He said the planning started with "an initial core group of students that said we wanted to do this — and from there it was a Facebook event, sharing, word of mouth and all that stuff. And eventually the word spread enough that all these people came out."
He said "the reason we wanted to do this walkout is that after a couple of days people just forgot. And we wanted to make sure that wouldn't be forgotten and there would be change that was happening."
School officials were supportive of the students efforts.
"I'm always pleased with these students when they want to become actively involved," said Superintendent Nicolas Wade, standing outside with some other school officials during the demonstration. "The fact that they wanted to coordinate their efforts to voice their opinion, we're all more than happy to provide them with this opportunity to do so."
Latest Elmwood Park
He said the message students are sending about school safety, "is something that obviously, at the school district, we're also concerned about."
"I think it's good to know it's going to be an ongoing conversation, not something taken care of one day, one night, or one training session," he said. "It's always going to be ongoing."
Douglas Wildes, the principal at the school, noted the demonstration itself "was entirely student-generated, student- organized and student-run," involving school cultural awareness and cultural awareness clubs. Student leaders had approached the administration and said, "hey, we want to do this, use our civil disobedience rights to organize and protest during National Student Walkout Day."
Leading up to the event, school officials worked with River Grove police, who were "awesome" in their support, Wildes said, monitoring the area and blocking off streets around the school during the march.

Do you face the challenge each day of trying to chew with failing teeth? Do you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth because many of them are compromised? Are you starting to feel depressed or hopeless about your situation?
These feelings are common on a daily basis when you are living with missing or failing teeth. There is hope, however; and dentures in Hermitage, PA may be the right solution for you. Here are the different types of dentures from which you can choose.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are a removable appliance typically made from acrylic and designed to restore an entire arch of teeth. You may be thinking of the dentures your parents or grandparents wore, but today's dentures are thoughtfully designed to complement your appearance and fit better than ever before.
Dentures use suction to your jaw to stay in place, and many patients go through a learning curve as they get used to talking and eating with their new teeth. However, dentures immediately restore your smile and facial appearance, which also returns your confidence.
Partial Dentures
Maybe you're missing multiple teeth, but you also still have quite a few healthy ones? A partial denture can replace those missing teeth with natural-looking prosthetic teeth that are attached to a removable appliance. Partials use metal or acrylic clasps as anchors, and they fit much as a retainer does.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Dental implants can be used to anchor and support both partial and full dentures. Implants provide denture wearers with a more secure fit that eliminates slippage or movement when talking or eating. Another added benefit of choosing implant-supported dentures is that they offer better longevity because implants help to keep your jawbone healthy and stimulated, which prevents the bone deterioration that often occurs with removable dentures.
If you are considering dentures to restore multiple missing teeth, Dr. Thomas or Dr. Peters would love to discuss your options with you! Contact Thomas Family Dentistry to schedule your consultation today with your dentist in Hermitage.

Wheres Approach Fishing Citrus?
Everyone in order to asleep at Fairwinds at Tryall Club except for me, a stray cat meowing outside of the balcony door, and a choir of frogs singing in the fern grotto. I wander into your home and plug up the coffee marijuana. As usual, there's magnetic water conditioner s to pour water into the canister, look at the Blue Mountain coffee grounds or even flip the on control. Lorna Steen, the efficient cook at Fairwinds at Tryall Club, took proper care of all that the night before, leaving me only the minor chore of plugging in the pot.
Previously Captain Steve, my friend Jimmy there isn't anything had chock-full the gas tanks of Steve's 22 foot fishing boat, bought cigar minnows and squid for the lure. Our rod and reels were secured of their holders with the rest of our tackle, cooler and refreshments in the bottom of the ski boat. Now it was time to move out to your secret hole somewhere your market Gulf, located by the coordinates that Steve had https://www.redsnappersupplier.com/ scribbled inside his notebook.
Some on the areas have condos consequently they are highly populated, But designed I am most interested in is between Sebastian Inlet and Ft Pierce Inlet. This area has several docks as well few bridges that I've found always be ideal for catching Red snapper indonesia. While I've tried many baits to trap these fish, I understand that live shrimp works the most consistently. Furthermore use And.O.A. shrimp when I run involving live shrimp or when are really biting that day. D.O.A. Shrimp are offered with most bait shops on area are extremely effective even. Get to the bait shop early because sometimes they run regarding live shrimp before midday.
Never thaw fish at room warmth. When fresh fish has been taken from freezer place Zip-Lock bag in a pan or dish to naturally thaw out inside refrigerator, viewed as ensure lone freshness when ready to cook.
You find Technician Dyvuun (Travel to Azure Watch) and Acteon (Find Acteon). Acteon will be the left as one enters Azure Watch. Dyvuun is on the opposite mentoring.
Some from the area's fish that can be caught include red snapper, king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, bonita etc. No matter if you're an six year-old or senior citizen, the trips can accommodate families, couples, individuals or business groups.
Serve it with warmed tomato salsa. Mexicans like to serve this fish on a banana leaf instead in the place of plate. If you're able to get banana leaves, wash them and put them on the grill when they are still damp and then add the fishing. This gives the dish a very traditional touch and additionally, it stops the snapper from sticking on the grill and breaking if you try to show it much more.

text: A friend of mine at work told me about this online swapping community for books, called PaperBack Swap, where in for only the cost of postage, I could get rid of my books and get new ones for free. While the idea intrigued me for a while, it never dawned on me to try it out until last thursday night. So online I went with a box of unwanted Japanese Manga at my feet. It was insanely easy to populate my bookshelf (i.e. the books I'm offering to give). Using just the ISBN numbers, I had 23 books up for eager readers in less than a half an hour. NOTE: Only post as many books as you are willing to mail. You can buy postage online and they even give you the mailing wrappers for each book and recepient. Anyway, not soon after I finished posting did requests come in for 8 of my books. Pankicing because I didn't know the process would start so fast, I printed out labels and postage for all. (total=$25). The good thing however, is that soon books will be coming to me. (Richard Preston's 'Hot Zone'). I have started to request books, some that I actually want on my shelves and some that I just want to check out. If you are an avid reader or even collector, you definitely should check them out. It's cheaper than buying fresh paperbacks, and they also have a CD Swap and and DVD Swap :D

It has been three weeks and some change since developers released Chrome OS 68 to the public. Following a major hiccup, a rollback of the update server and a second iteration of the Stable release, Chromebook users on version 67 can finally join the rest of us on the newest release.
I woke up to multiple reports that the Pixelbook, still on Chrome OS 67, was finally receiving the update to 68. I quickly hopped over to the Chrome release server page to confirm that all devices save one now have the latest version of Chrome OS.
The Acer Chromebook Tab 10 is now the only device still on Chrome OS 67 with the exception of those Chromebooks that have reached End of Life and are no longer receiving updates.
The Acer Tablet is still the only true Chromebook tablet on the market. This is likely the reason behind further delays in updating to Chrome OS 68. A lot of new tablet-centric features are arriving in the current and subsequent releases of the operating system and the Chromebook Tab 10 is most likely getting special attention to ensure the user experience is optimized for the unique device.
Regardless, it's good to see nearly all Chromebooks on the same version especially considering we are now only a couple of weeks out from the next major update that will bring us Chrome OS 69.
All of this is ramping up to what could be a watershed release of version 70 of Chrome OS which should coincide very closely with Google's rumored hardware event in early October.
The growing number of new features and UI upgrades we are seeing from Chrome OS lend a lot of weight to our suspicions that Google has a lot more in store for October than just some new phones. Stay tuned for continuing coverage of some more features we've unearthed.
If you haven't received the update to Chrome OS 68, head to the "About Chrome OS" tab in your settings menu and start mashing that "check for update" button. It's headed your way.


text: Home > Events > Festival of Trees > Meet the Festival's General Chair Meet Beth O'Shea, the general chair of Memorial's 2019 Festival of Trees What does Memorial's Festival of Trees mean to you? To me, the Festival is about families coming together to enjoy the beginning of the holiday season. All ages have something to look forward to at each Festival of Trees. Year after year families can count on returning traditions as well as new and exciting activities. Do you have a favorite Festival of Trees memory? In 2016, the theme was Remember When. I was involved with finding display items for the mid-century modern home that was on the stage in the center of the building. It brought back so many childhood memories for myself and others. Why did you want to get involved with the Festival seven years ago? Our family always enjoyed attending Festival of Trees when our children were younger. As they got older, I had more time to devote to volunteering in our community. Memorial Medical Center has so many wonderful volunteering opportunities, so I thought this would be a great way to use my time. What do you enjoy the most about the Festival? Festival of Trees brings families together. I have heard this event starts many family holiday traditions with train rides, cookie decorating, walking among the trees, visits with Santa, and the children craft area. What does our theme, Jingle Bells & Seashells, mean to you? I love our 2019 theme of Jingle Bells & Seashells. Our family loves the beach and have spent numerous winters vacationing in Florida to escape the Illinois winter. I thought it would be fun to bring the beach to Illinois. Does your family have any special holiday traditions? When our children were younger, we chose a different country each year to explore the holiday recipes. On Christmas Eve, we cooked several dishes that celebrated the holiday culture. How long and in what roles have you been involved with the Festival? Over the years I helped with the Gingerbread Village and Mini Trees. What do you enjoy most about being involved with the Festival of Trees? The evening of the Gala is such a lovely event. The beautifully decorated trees and wreaths, holiday attire, delicious food, and thematic music make a memorable evening for everyone who attends, including the Festival's sponsors and designers.

Special thanks go to my anonymous donor who, after reading of recent streak of bad luck, sent me some cash. I will spend it wisely, and likely sooner than later, and it is definitely received with the highest gratitude.
But, the thing about blogs, is that the best ones are written by people who's lives aren't going so well. Reading about the rich, the perfectly content, or the innocent makes for boring reading. So, by sending me money, you're helping solve one of my problems - a little deux ex machina, for you literary types - without watching me struggle much. A blog, like any writing, is more interesting if the struggle is more difficult.
Take Benzo (We All Have Stories) for example. She's a fun writer, and bitches a lot. To be honest, she'd be fun to read for her disgruntled views on movies, but everything is exacerbated because she has some strange disease that has no cure, that I barely understand. She doesn't ever sound like she's sorry for herself, and expels a confidence, and an attitude, that I look up to. Bedridden, she may not be able to direct a movie in the near future, but I wouldn't put it past her to write the next great novel or hit screenplay.
Tyranny is a new blogger on the scene. This is the first post of his I read, hooking me right away:
The above photograph was taken in ye olden days of yore, the year of our lord 2002 to be exact. I was 25 years old. It was a simpler time. The Bush reich was still in its relative infancy, The Afghani sand-nigger was much more of a concern than the Iraqi sand-nigger, and a frightening new plague called "AIDS" was sweeping across San Francisco's homo-sin-ual bathouses like an incredibly large and murder-licious broom, killing dozens. Apples were redder, beer was colder, and if memory serves me....man alive, the pussies were wetter.
That was also the year I had a heart attack.
Then there'sSimpleton, a guy who writes without shame that he's a bit of a loser. Bad luck with girls, talks shit about his friends girlfriends and gets caught, everyone thinks that since he dyed his hair recently that he's gay. That he writes about all this so honestly is surprising and makes him one of the coolest reads on the net.
Tall Guy, aka Katzinjammer, is also a newer blogger on the scene with a little more subtelty in his personal dramas. I'm disappointed he won't be taking a job on an Alaskan fishing boat, considered one of the worlds most dangerous jobs, because I think the blogs would have been interesting. Still, from what I can discern from his posts, he tends to get fired from too many jobs for showing up late, if at all. He's now moving to South Dakota to work as a collections agent. Sounds like the potential for great blogging to me, especially if he spills the dirt on how those places operate.
With any blog you follow, you root for the heroes. But blogs aren't fiction. I never wish harm, or any additional drama, on the part of the folks.
Well, not unless it makes for a better blog.

EDITORIAL: Students lay foundation for great future
Habitat for Humanity teaches important lessons about compassion
There are 94 low-income housing apartment complexes in Middlesex County, New Jersey, according to Affordable Housing Online. Within these complexes, there are 7,810 affordable apartments for rent. And Rutgers students are adding on to this.
The Habitat for Humanity Club at Rutgers congregated on Livingston campus to build a home for a low-income family in Middlesex County. This event was part of their annual "Build-a-Thon," which is a 24-hour event where students with Habitat for Humanity aid in the construction of a $50,000 home located in the Middlesex County area. This means that the club will pay for half of the house, as well as the materials needed to build it. For a group of college students, this may seem like a lofty goal, but Habitat for Humanity was able to obtain the money needed through fundraising and canning. Personal donations from the students were also used, and all of the money that was accumulated went directly into the building of this affordable home.
This was not just a weekend activity for those in Habitat for Humanity — it was a labor of love. Students were given the opportunity to visit the building site every weekend to work on it, as well as record the progress, and the students took advantage of this opportunity. The students are present and working for all of the steps of the process, from the laying of the foundation to painting the finished product. Students even slept overnight in the houses that they built so that they could raise awareness about homelessness and the importance of shelters and affordable housing. By the end of the experience, not only have students helped create houses for homeless people, but they also have a greater understanding of the struggles and challenges that these people face every day.
This process does not just give a sense of accomplishment to the students but also to those who end up getting the house. These families are given the opportunity to participate in "sweat equity," which is a situation where they can decrease their financial struggle by contributing a certain amount of hours of construction work to the house. This way, families do not have to feel as though they are being given a handout, but rather that they are putting in work for their home. Although those in poverty have no reason to feel undignified, this can often be the case for those who do not have the means to provide for themselves. Getting the opportunity to contribute to their own houses is something that can go a long way in easing people's feelings of pride.
The great thing about Habitat for Humanity and all of the work that they put in is that the reward ends up being far more than a house, and a house is not a small thing, especially for someone who has lived without shelter. Aside from actually providing quality shelter for homeless people, these students are making positive changes in their community. With classes every weekday and possible extra-curricular activities, these students are sacrificing their time on the weekend to build a house for someone they do not know. Habitat for Humanity is pushing the type of mindset and ideals that are necessary to mold future generations into more compassionate, empathetic and dedicated people. The club pushes for selflessness in every way possible.
Habitat for Humanity is a working system that demonstrates that Rutgers students are making more than just a positive impact on their campuses. They are changing the future for the better, not only for themselves but for every other person around them.

If you're planning a trip, one of the best ways to spend far too much is to pay full value in your airfare. The airlines had bother making a revenue before file fuel costs, however now they don't have any choice however to pass these prices onto the shopper within the type of surcharges and costs. You may get details about the perfect airfare to Paris on these sites.
We partner with a whole lot of suppliers – massive and small – to deliver you low-cost flights and customized journey options. But here's a rough measure: Domestic airways earned $91.2 billion from fares in 2016 according to U.S. Division of Transportation information, which accounts for about 73 % of their whole annual operating income from home operations.
Competing airways see these gross sales the subsequent morning and regulate their fares accordingly, and last sale pricing hits reservations programs at 3 p.m. Eastern Commonplace Time. Skiplagged exposes loopholes in airfare pricing, similar to hidden-city, to seek out you offers you can't get anywhere else.
When a fare drops inside 24 hours of your buy or dips low enough to offset the airline's change price, Yapta sends you an alert that it's best to rebook on the lower price, pay the change charge, and pocket the distinction. In its single-minded (and multilingual) quest to search out one of the best fares, it typically shows itineraries that recommend a different airline out and again, saving you the effort of making an attempt to do this your self.
It would end up being cheaper driving or taking a bus to another airport that's further away and paying for a decrease airfare.

What surfing taught me about flyfishing.
We'd just smashed into a Kangaroo with our camper and decided it was time for a drink. We were tired of driving anyway, and those damn kangaroos were just too hard to see in the dark. We saw a sign near the road, tacked to the side of a rickety shed: "Kalbarri Pub."
"We must be in Kalbarri," said one of my companions, who was accompanying me on a surf trip up the dusty and rugged northwestern coast of Australia.
"Must be," I said. "Let's go in and blow the froth off a couple." (I only dared to use Aussie expressions in the company of my own countrymen, as I wasn't very good at hiding my Wisconsin accent.)
The ragged and smoky little joint was dimly lit and smelled of beer and sweat. It was mostly filled with tan, shaggy-haired, older men yelling to each other over AC DC's "Dirty Deeds," which blared from an abused looking jukebox. It only took a few pints of Western Gold, a delightfully bitter local brew, to get in on the conversation.
"Mate, if your hands aren't scraping the reef when you paddle, you're sitting too deep," one of them slurred to me.
We were talking about surf spots, which amazed me. I had heard and read stories about the surf scene in northwestern Australia, and how—just like the landscape—it was harsh, localized, and unforgiving. If you weren't from there, you didn't belong in the water.

Previously, when companies migrated from an earlier version of BES to a newer one they simply activated a new server, ran a configuration tool and migrated their users to the new server, he said in an interview with Networkwold.com.This will not be the case with BES 10, according to Wilson.

Three new domestic insurance companies will soon start operations, said Rahim Mosadeq, Central Insurance company of Iran's deputy for planning and development.
"Tejarat Insurance [affiliated to Tejarat Bank] has registered with the regulator and will start operation after CII will assess and approve the credentials of its technical managers," Mosaddeq was quoted as saying by ISNA on Friday.
"Middle East Insurance [affiliated with Middle East Bank] will be the only firm specializing in the life insurance sector and is currently undergoing anti-money laundry risk assessment."
The third firm, Hekmat Saba Insurance, is also in the public offering process. As with the two other firms, Bank Hekmat Iranian is the major shareholder of in Hekmat Saba.
Iran's insurance market is largely dominated by the only state-owned firm, Iran Insurance Company. According to CII statistics, this company accounts for 44% of the total premiums, while the rest is divided between 30 private companies.
Referring to recent changes in Iran Insurance Company's board of directors, the official said. "Any change in insurance firms' directors must be approved by the CII [as the industry's sole regulator.] Since Iran Insurance has not notified the CII about these changes, they are illegal."
Iran Insurance had announced new appointments to its board of directors in the presence of officials from the Ministry of Economy on Monday. According to Article 90 of insurance regulations, the companies' directors' qualifications must be approved by the CII.
Elaborating on the performance of the insurance industry, Mosaddeq noted that the premiums sold were worth about 200 trillion rials ($6.6 billion) during the eleven months ending February 20, indicating a 12% growth."
"During the said period insurers paid claims to about 22 million policyholders," he said without elaboration.
"Iranian Insurance Syndicate last year asked for an increase in insurance firms' capital because some companies failed to meet the capital adequacy ratio last year," he said. The regulator has prepared a proposal for getting a four-year permission to let the insurers raise their capital which will soon be sent to the government.

5 things we learned after Ipswich Witches' big win over Poole Pirates
PUBLISHED: 22:54 16 May 2019 | UPDATED: 22:58 16 May 2019
© Copyright Stephen Waller
Ipswich Witches 52 Poole Pirates 38
This Witches team is starting to believe.
You can tell that in the way they attacked the track from the off once more against Poole.
Four 5-1 race wins in the first six races and 18 points ahead after heat six..... That's enough to dampen any side who comes to Foxhall.
And that's the key.
Teams need to be put on the backfoot from the off, because invariably, as Poole did, away teams will improve as the meeting wears on.
One or two have doubted the skipper Danny King this season and in recent weeks.
Goodness knows why.
Yes, he is coming back from a serious injury last season but the cream always rises to the top as it did against Poole.
His heat 14 ride as he bravely scraped the fence down the backstraight to pass all the riders was sensational.
Top scorer and leading from the front.
You may also want to watch:
It could so easly have been much worse.
Jake Allen came off in spectacular style on the final bend of heat eight and you knew it could have been bad by the audible gasp around the stadium.
Thankfully Jake managed to walk away but he has his shoulder in a sling and must be a big doubt for Monday's big TV meeting with Wolves.
If he does miss out it will be a huge loss as Allen has been nothing sort of fantastic so far this season.
I mention the fans most weeks because there is little doubt there is a real connect between the club and the fans at the moment.
The riders love riding for the club and the fans are enjoying all their efforts.
Every Witch so far this season has given 100% every race and the fans know it.
OK, so sometimes things don't go right for a rider on a particular night.
But the fans continue to be loyal to a team they are really identifying with.
It's the Witches on TV this Monday.
Yes, BT Sport are in town for the Witches home clash with Wolverhampton on Monday night and what a cracker it should be.
Early days in the Premiership but it's top v second, with the Witches leading the way in the table.
Should be a cracker!

May 16,2019 – JORDAN TIMES EDITORIAL
Jordan was among the first countries that condemned the terrorist attacks on four ships off the coast of the United Arab Emirates in the Arab Gulf, and expressed solidarity with the Arab Gulf state.
Attacking commercial shipping, including oil freighters in the Arab Gulf region, is terribly ominous, with far reaching implications for the security and stability of the area and beyond. Much of the world's oil and gas shipments go through the waters of the Gulf, and any interruption of this trade is wrought with untold dangers to regional and world peace and security.
There is already high tension building up between the US and Iran that threatens to explode at short notice. This escalating tension has been brewing for some time now, especially after Washington has moved upon the orders of President Donald Trump, armed naval units, including an aircraft carrier, to the area and deployed long-range bombers in the region, ostensibly to strike at Iranian military bases at any moment.
Any spark in the growing and escalating tension between Iran and the US threatens the start of a wide-scale war between Washington and Tehran, with widespread implications for the international community.
The immediate issue now is the identification of the country or party that attacked the four ships. Fingers can be pointed to several parties as possible culprits, including no doubt Israel, which stands to benefit if a large scale war erupts between the US and Iran. Yet, until there is more evidence on the identity of the perpetrator of this additional tension in the Gulf waters, a final verdict must be put on hold.
The main thing now is to contain the raging fire in the Gulf waters. An intervention by the UN Security Council could be the right step in that direction. Leaving the parties free to add oil to the fire in order to settle scores, old or new, is surely the wrong diplomacy. That is how major wars start if the immediate parties are left free and unimpeded to escalate tension between themselves.
One lone shot in the Gulf can ignite a major armed conflict. That is why the international community must not remain silent in the face of the growing dangers between Washington and Tehran.

In this chapter of Hebrews the author in passing mentions the elementary teachings of Christ. The first one is repentance from acts leading to death. The second is faith. There is a direct correlation between faith and repentance. If you don't understand this, your faith can be hindered in its effectiveness.
The repentance he refers to is the changing of our actions from those that would lead us to death. Death is separation. Adam died in the Garden of Eden when he ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Yet Genesis records his life span as 930 years. The first stage of death was separation from God. He was removed from the garden and he no longer walked with God in the cool of the day. The second stage of death is separation of the spirit from the body and that happened for Adam hundreds of years later.
When we sin, we act unrighteously. We miss the mark of the high calling. We react in the flesh and protect ourselves or pursue our own interests over everyone else's, including God. When we sin, we have performed acts that lead to death. These acts separate us from God. Matthew 6:14 and 15 says: "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." This scripture is very clear that sin will cause a problem with the heavenly Father. Mark 11:24 and 25 say: "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (25) And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." Jesus in his teaching was saying to have faith in God and when you pray, believe in faith and you will have what you prayed for. He then says in conjunction with faith if you hold anything against anyone; forgive, so that your Father may forgive.
Our heart can tie or untie our faith. If we are harboring unresolved issues in our heart we are binding our faith in God from working. He is the author and finisher of our faith. Our source for faith is in Him. If we allow sin to separate us, we are hindering our faith. When we repent, we release faith. The two are inextricably tied to each other. Faith comes from the heart, not the head. If our heart is bitter, not one of love, for God is love, then we are separating ourselves from the very source of our faith.
This is a very powerful truth. I know from personal experience that the bible is true in this regard. Having forgiven and received forgiveness for harboring envy, strife and bitterness towards a friend one day, the next day I had a release in faith that I had been praying to happen for weeks. The forgiveness released faith. Think about it! Is there anything you have been trying to have faith for but have not yet seen the result? Could your problem be an issue of forgiveness? He's able to confirm it to you if it is the case. All He wants is your heart to be right and full of love and contentment.

The Secret to Following Up: How to Turn Conference Attendees Into Warm Leads
Generating sales leads is the goal at the heart of many business conferences, and for good reason. When you bring decision makers to your event, it provides a remarkable opportunity to present your products and services—often in a far more in-depth way than would otherwise be possible.
So how do you turn conference attendees into warm sales leads? The "secret" lies in how you follow up with them. Here's the kicker: you need to start that process when you're in the planning phase of a business conference.
Planning a business conference that generates sales leads.
One of the first things the eCubed Events team does when working with our business conference clients is to determine their goal or goals. If that includes generating sales leads, we evaluate every aspect of the conference that could potentially aid in achieving that goal. That includes:
- Generating a pre-conference survey asking for attendee input on breakout sessions or other conference events.
- Creating opportunities to collect key information from conference attendees during the event, whether business card drop boxes or one-on-one consultations.
- Offering private events or specialized "upgrades" for top sales targets that allow for one-on-one conversations.
- Providing giveaways that are innovative, useful, and valuable to attendees—items they're likely to keep and use.
- Conducting quick surveys during the event.
- Sending a well-crafted and targeted post-event survey to garner authentic feedback and gain additional insights about customer needs and goals.
Most important, however, is creating a memorable experience for attendees that ensures they leave with a positive impression of your organization. Ultimately, every attendee wants to feel like a welcome guest and not just a sales opportunity. A well-planned and organized business conference will do just that.
We'd love to talk with you more about your upcoming business conference and discuss how eCubed Events can deliver an outstanding experience for you and your attendees.

City to discuss salaries, plans for water supply
June 14, 2004
Greeley City Council members will discuss employee salaries and long-term plans for the city's water supply tonight.
Council members are expected make a tentative decision on whether to give non-union city employees a raise this year. Some council members have expressed support for a 3 percent raise, but so far there's not a majority of members backing that proposal.
Councilman Don Feldhaus said he can't support a 3 percent raise but would favor a smaller increase.
City employees' paychecks were frozen last year to deal with sluggish revenue. If the council agreed to move forward on salary increases, a final decision would be July 6. Members of the police and firefighters union received raises this year, adding fuel to speculation that nonunion city employees may look at forming an organized labor group if council rejects a pay raise.
Council members are also expected to consider a resolution to adopt the city's water master plan, which has been guiding water department decisions for months but never received a final stamp of council approval.
Recommended Stories For You
Highlights of the plan include:
* Expanding Bellvue water treatment plant and the pipeline that carries drinking water from north of Fort Collins to Greeley taps
* Adding 6,000 acre-feet of water the city can easily use for growth
* Expanding Milton-Seaman Reservoir
Where to go: The council will meet at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the council chambers of the Public Safety Center, 919 7th St.

19th Annual Mid-City Dog Days 14th and U Streets Sale Event Set for Weekend of August 4th and 5th
Published: July 15th, 2018
Accompanying images can be viewed starting on page 1 of the July 2018 issue pdf
By P.L. Wolff
Mark your calendars and get ready for a weekend of local shopping, eating, sipping, listening, and people-watching, filled with special offers and promotions being offered by over 100 businesses during what is DC's largest ever sidewalk sale, from P Street to Florida Avenue on 14th and along U between 7th and 17th Streets.
The weekend event will be getting revved up with a free, open to the public party at Miss Pixie's Furnishings & Whatnot on Friday, the 3rd, between 6 and 8 pm. We are told that "tasty bites" will be provided from just two doors south by Barcelona Wine, along with live funky tunes and all items in the shop 20% off. So that they can plan for how much of those "tasty bites" will be needed, it will be essential that persons attending this kick-off event register for free tickets at eventbrite.com; watch for when it appears on the calendar for August 4th and 5th.
What one can look forward to is participation by old and new retailers along with the popular restaurants and art galleries as well as the neighborhood's music venues and community centers.
Of course, it will be the vast numbers of retailers and restaurants throughout the area on both days that will be providing a shoppers and foodies unending array of delights.
This event, now being sponsored by the Mid-City BID Exploratory Committee (successor to the former Mid-City Business Association), was originally the brainchild back in 2000 of Home Rule's founder and owner Greg Link, who
staged a very modest but well-received event outside his housewares store's end of the 1800 block. He was a 14th Street pioneer who had the foresight to anticipate that the time would soon be coming that the strip all the way from P Street to at least U would be transformed, and so his became the first small business to take the leap — and how right he was.
The Exploratory Committee, the event's sponsor, is seeking to form a Business Improvement District (BID), the goal of which will be the beautification and promotion the neighborhood's business attractiveness. As stated by Pixie Windsor, owner of Miss Pixie's and one of the chief organizers of the event for the last several years, "Bringing the community together to support local retailers and small businesses in my neighborhood is just about my favorite thing."

Mariann Peller, godmother of Crystal Ravel

How We Met
Stefano and I met 7 years ago at a High School flag football game. We were both on separate rival teams playing against one another. I had never met him before that day and the minute I saw him on the field I knew that he had to be mine. Throughout the game we kept making eye contact and I was hoping that he felt the same way about me as I did him. At half time I was sitting with my mom and my best friend and I told them how cute I thought he was and I told them that he was going to be mine by the end of the game. Halftime was over and it was time to play again. My team at the time was playing defense and of course I offered to guard Stefano. As I was guarding him the ball was thrown and I was looking towards the ball and not him. The next thing I know I accidentally tackled Stefano, during a flag football game! Oops! I looked down at him slightly embarrassed and mumbled "I'm sorry", he just smiled and reassured me that it was quite alright. In that moment in time I knew we were meant to be. Although, my team was penalized for my accidental tackle, that day I tackled my now future husband! My team may have lost the game, but I gained a lifelong partner and best friend. Stefano and I have been together ever since that moment. We have traveled the world together and try to go somewhere new at least every six months.
how they asked
We had previously talked about getting engaged many times, but I didn't know when it would be our time. So when we booked a trip to the Bahamas I had no clue I would come back an engaged woman. The first day we arrived at Atlantis in the Bahamas we just explored the grounds and relaxed by the beach. We noticed that there was an opportunity to swim with dolphins (something neither of us have ever done) and I knew I wanted to do it. However, I knew we had a list of things we wanted to do and didn't know if we would have the time.
The next morning, Stefano and I went to the beach just enjoying our time when he stated he was going to go to the gym I chose to stay at the beach, because who wants to work out on vacation? Not me! Little did I know that he was actually at the Dolphin Cay setting up our proposal!
He came back to the beach and stated we are swimming with dolphins at 2 p.m. so we needed to leave the beach by 1 p.m.. I was so excited to finally have the opportunity to swim with the dolphins (a lifelong dream of mine). When we got there we just relaxed until it was our turn to swim and everything seemed like just a normal day. I noticed Stefano was slightly fidgety, but I just assumed it was because he was excited. We swam with the dolphins and at the end of the "dolphin adventure" the group leader separated the girls from the guys.
Allowing the girls more time with the dolphins as the guys got out of the bay. The dolphin trainer threw a toy into the water for the dolphin to get and the dolphin brought it back to me. The dolphin trainer then told me to open it.
I just assumed there was a fish in the toy as a treat for the dolphin. I struggled getting it open, but when I did there was a scroll inside. I then got a whirl of butterflies in my stomach I didn't know what was going on, but I became very nervous.
When I opened the scroll and read "Will You Marry Me" I paused for a second taking the information in. When I looked behind me there was Stefano at the edge of the water on one knee and ring in hand.
I was absolutely shocked! I didn't even get a chance to look at the ring. I ran right over and just embraced his shaking nervous body. We were both absolutely thrilled. I couldn't have dreamt of a better proposal to the man of my dreams. We spent the rest of the vacation enjoying our time as future Mr. & Mrs. Tandon!
