LEADERSHIP: Rev. Kathryn Ransdell
TO DEVELOP BIBLICAL LITERACY & PREPARE FOR WORSHIP Bible Study—Every Sunday 8:45-10:00 in the Chapel. At the heart of worship is the scripture selection for that Sunday. The hymns, the sermon, and the liturgy reflect themes and threads of the scripture. A wonderful way to prepare for worship is to come and sit with the Scripture passage of the day in small group conversation with facilitation by a gifted scholar and teacher. A stimulating addition to your Sabbath experience!
Please register for programs in one of these ways:
All the programs are offered free of charge unless otherwise specified. Where a program is centered on a book, the cost of the book is indicated.

for all ages!
Children are welcome in the service and are also
invited to join us for Summer Church School or Nursery Care if they (or their
parents wish). We welcome wiggles in our church and encourage parents to feel at
home as they help their child to experience worship. Help children know what is
happening and what is expected . . . include them by pointing out where we are
in the bulletin, help them find the hymns in the hymn book – encourage them to
look and to listen and to embrace moments of prayer. We also have WORSHIP BAGS
for children – with crayons, a book and creative material which are located in
the narthex (lobby of the church) or at the front right of the church.
There is a NURSERY available for those 2 and under. "The Ark" at St. Andrew's Wesley's
is a cheery place with our wonderful Caregiver, Pilar Benavides who offers support to our
youngest members and their parents. In the space there are toys, books, washroom access,
a change table, and a speaker so you can hear the service. There is a parent sign-up for
helping in the nursery – please speak with Pilar! We need at least one other adult in the
nursery every Sunday helping Pilar care for the children.

who has been absent, or who is not well and could use a call, please let
Rev. Dan Chambers know.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) that Congress passed in February 2009 includes the most critical improvements in health privacy in a decade. (Such provisions are part of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) section of ARRA.) CDT's Health Privacy Project recommended many of these changes in expert reports and testimony. However, some difficult issues remain unaddressed and considerable work needs to be done to effectively interpret and implement the ARRA provisions.

I was in india a year back and the iPhone experience is not how it is for me otherwise. Yes, working on an edge connection wich is not stable most of the time is not a nice thing at all. Yes I know 3G is available now, but I beleive the rates are high. How many you know who use 3G now ?
Stupid! That is the same as buying for 900$
Imho apple are idiots to not launch iphone early in india! None of their models have been successful in india due to their dumb ignorance in the indian market..indians will not buy their outdated iphone4 esoecially when iphone5 is out in the corner
EDIT wrong thread
Who you calling stupid? It's $813. For the 32gb, a $63 premium over the US iPhone which is locked. Do your math before calling names and making an idiot of yourself.
yes 3g is available now, as of now service providers are providing 3g for free to get the users hooked..after that they will start charging. I have gone through various packages and the charges are quite reasonable.
Get your facts right about India!!! You are more outdated than the official iPhone models in India.I just can't reconcile this news with my mental view of India, which I understand to be mostly ultra-poor. I just imagine people with no food in an un-air-conditioned hut tapping away on an iPhone.
I mean, of COURSE there's a wealthy upper class, but I never hear anything about the middle class in India. Is there one? There's simply a giant dark void in my knowledge of India...
India no wanted for a locked phone that's why maker knows even though if they launch ther is no wanted
And you edited this post for spelling???
Agan I call u an idiot. It's 900$ for an unlocked (factory) unlocked phone...compared to 500+ sterling pound UK factory unlocked phone.Both are 16GB!!! ...looks like you skipped maths in school.
leave him alone..he looks like a retard! who doesn't know **** about outside world...The most expensive cars in the world are bought like peanuts in India but he fails to realize that...yes, these are bought by Indian (middle class people) by paying 101% import duty implicated by the Indian government...Can you imagine? if someone in US or europe buys a BMW 5 series beamer, the same car would cost double in India and yet, India has more BMW cars compared to the united states...Check the BMW-India sales for proof.
Same with iphones, People in India buy the iphone for 900$ even thought its locked to a US carrier. But people in US would never pay the un-subsidized rate for the iphone. lol.
It's a bit too late in my opinion. I think most people who would buy an iPhone 4 have already done so thru the grey market, the others might still go for it provided the price is competitive. Most people willing to spend that kind of money in India for a phone will probably be buying blackberries.
I myself am an iPhone fan but just feel it is too late for apple to enter India with 4 maybe coming in with 5 would be better else they will not get a good feel for the Market and might wash their hands of it

Hot answers tagged gospel-of-thomas
Who influenced whom?
The critical question to answer before we can speculate on the relationship between Thomas and the canonical gospels is which came first? According to the Early Christian Writings website (a fairly neutral source), canonical Gospels are dated:
65–80 Gospel of Mark
80–100 Gospel of Matthew
80–130 Gospel of Luke
This question is hotly debated, and there's no real consensus. There's a very recent monograph on exactly this topic, Goodacre's "Thomas and the gospels". He argues strongly that Thomas is dependent on Matthew and Luke. According to Goodacre in an interview with his publisher, scholars are divided roughly 50/50 on whether Thomas is early and independent ...

Full review
It is believed that only three things will survive a nuclear war: Volvos, cockroaches, and tins of baked beans. But with its 5140 cell phone, Nokia might have added another item to the mix. Wrapped in rubber and solidly constructed, the 5140 is a sharp departure from the common mobile form factor. The black-and-blue candy bar-style handset looks as if it could stand up to any manner of abuse. It also has an assortment of oddball features -- including a thermometer, a compass, and a flashlight -- that would benefit anyone lost in a post-apocalyptic world.
Most mobiles wouldn't qualify as durable. Nokia, however, has endeavoured to design mobiles that can take a few blows. The company's latest attempt is the Nokia 5140, which incorporates rubber padding on its side and bottom, as well as a rubber covering for the controls and the keypad. To be sure, the 5140 survived a few drops on the floor, and the casing is designed to resist dust and water, though that doesn't make it waterproof. While those elements may appeal to fitness fanatics and the outdoorsy set, the phone is bulky (107 by 47 by 24mm; 101g), and it won't win any design awards. On the other hand, you can choose from an assortment of changeable faceplates.
The 5140 has a 4,096-color display that measures a rather small 38 mm (1.5 inches) diagonally. Though it's easy to see in most lighting, the low-resolution screen has an overall washed-out appearance, and you can adjust contrast but not brightness. On the plus side, you can specify the backlight time, but the unchangeable text size may be too small for users with visual impairments. The menus are easy enough to use, but we aren't pleased with the navigation keys. Due to the rubber covering, the controls are difficult to manipulate, and we often misdialled. A five-way toggle provides shortcuts to four user-defined functions, but its small size also makes for some misdials. Other controls consist of two soft keys and dedicated Talk and End buttons.
Though they are also covered in rubber, the keypad buttons are easier to use. A raised profile makes it easy to dial by feel; our only complaint is the backlighting is too dim. There's a volume rocker on the left spine and the power button is on the top. Though they're easy to find when you aren't looking, pressing them was another matter. The volume rocker requires an especially firm push, which is difficult to do while on the phone. We like the rubber door on the bottom of the mobile that covers the charger and headset ports, but we're puzzled as to why the rubber doesn't extend to the phone's backside. There you'll find the camera lens, but there's no flash or self-portrait mirror.
FeaturesThe Nokia 5140 has a customary complement of features with a few extras thrown in. The 250-name phone book holds five numbers; e-mail, Web, and street addresses; and notes for each entry. Contacts can be organized into caller groups and paired with a picture for photo caller ID; you can even add a voice tag to each entry. There's also ringtone caller ID, but the six monophonic and 24 polyphonic ringtones can only be assigned to a caller group. Additionally, you can send an electronic business card to other callers.
Other features included a vibrate mode; text, multimedia, and instant messaging; a WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser; an alarm clock; a calendar; a calculator; a to-do list; a notepad; a voice recorder; an infrared port; and support for PC syncing via wireless means or a data cable. A speakerphone is included, but it can be activated only after a call is made. The 5140 also is the first Nokia handset that we've seen with push-to-talk capability, although you'll have to wait for your network to implement this service.
The most memorable goodies on the 5140 go hand in hand with the mobile's sturdy form factor. There's a thermometer (in both Celsius and Fahrenheit), a stopwatch, a countdown timer, a decibel meter, and a tiny flashlight that will do in a pinch. There's also a compass, and the miniscule leveller bubble on the front face will help in calibration. Though fun, the compass and the flashlight aren't necessarily useful, so we doubt they will appeal to many people. Also, the thermometer's accuracy depended on how close you hold the phone to your body.
The VGA camera wasn't the most user-friendly we've seen. You can take pictures in 640x480 or 176x144 resolution and select from three quality settings. There's also a night mode, a self-timer, and a multishot option. There is no zoom or adjustable brightness setting, however, and the only shutter-sound choices are on and off. The Nokia records video with or without sound, but you can't edit the clips in any way. When finished, you can send your work via a data cable, the infrared port, or a multimedia message. You can also save shots and footage to the 5140's 4MB of shared memory.
Like several other Nokia phones, the 5140 has an FM radio with 12 station presets. Remember, though, that you'll need a headset to act as the antenna. Another oddity was the handset's fitness coach, which gives you a personalised exercise program after you plug in your height, weight, and so on. True to form, the handset has one Java (J2ME) fitness-themed game called Adventure Race, though more are available for download. The 5140 can be customized with a variety of wallpaper, sounds, colours, and menu styles. Alternatively, you can get more options from Nokia's Web site.
Call quality was good, with callers only occasionally being able to tell we were on a mobile phone. We also made calls through the included stereo headset and encountered few problems. We especially liked the comfort of the headset -- it fits over both ears -- and the controls, which allow you to toggle between the radio and normal calls. On the speakerphone, audio quality was somewhat patchy, but that's to be expected.
Battery life was admirable. We managed six hours of talk time on a single charge, beating the rated time of five hours. For standby time, we met the promised time of 10 days.

Buy 2 for $189.00 per racquet.
Best suited to intermediates through advanced players, the Prince Tour 98 ESP is a speedy spin machine with a forgiving
response. Thanks to Prince's EXO3 ports and Extreme String Pattern (16x16), the comfort and spin are
baked right into the racquet. Players who like to impose their will with high arching, spin loaded balls should have a blast with this
one. From the baseline our TW playtesters reported a light and fast feel with the kind of ball rotation that has the ball jumping off the
court. There is also some power on tap, but it's not overwhelming given the absence of mass in the head. At net the fast feel lends
itself to reaction volleys and put-aways. This racquet's speedy response is also an asset on service returns where it's easy to pull off
a solid shot under pressure. All in all, the Tour 98 ESP is a great option for 4.0+ players looking for a comfortable stick with big
spin and a nice balance between power and control.

We had to put this chair together and I was a littl disappointed in the weight and strength of the chair. NOT very roomy like similar office chairs that I have seen in person. Fits a small frame of a person that our family. It is adequate but not something that I would repurchase.
We bought these for the new office we just moved into. They are fairly sturdy and look good. Hard to beat for the price. We are considering buying a few more for the conference room.
Chair was exactly what I expected. It is very well constructed and confortable. I would recommend chair to everybody.
This chair was disappointing for an Overstock product. Once assembled the chair was very wobbly. Cheap metal and fabric. Might work as an extra chair if you need it, but not if meant for heavy use. I learned my lesson not to buy chairs that have skinny legs that come to a point!
i bought these for my office waiting area and they were easy to assemble, they look great and feel strong,.
The chairs look great, actually better than I expected. The manufactured pre-driven holes where the screws go were not accurate and made for a very tough and frustrating assembly.
These chairs are great for space saving and wrap around a 6 or 8 foot conference table nicely. Fabric seems durable and of good color. Seat size is average. Assembly was somewhat challenging but the end result was satisfying. While certainly not plush, they provide a nice appearance and are provide comfortable seating.

Title I of the Government Securities Act of 1986 (Pub.

Cyclist retires, brings 1,100 riders Oct. 27
Published 6:31pm Tuesday, October 23, 2012Spokes on 1,100 bikes are expected to spin their way through our foothills Saturday, Oct. 27 as world-renowned cyclist George Hincapie hosts a Gran Fondo in celebration of his retirement from competitive cycling.
John Cash, owner of Nature's Storehouse and an avid cyclist, said it is a privilege for the area to witness a ride of this magnitude.
"Anybody who knows anything about cycling knows that these are the best of the best that are coming to ride," said Cash. "This is such a special event because it will give everyone the chance of a lifetime to see world-class riders come through our town."
Hincapie, whose career spanned 19 years, has ridden in the Tour de France 15 times and is the only cyclist to play a supporting role on eight Tour de France winning teams. He will bring with him numerous international riders from countries such as Australia, Spain and New Zealand, as well as riders he currently coaches. These riders themselves have ridden in the Tour de France and other notable rides such as the Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders.
Amateur riders will also ride alongside the pros.
The 1,100 riders will pedal from La Bastide Inn outside Greenville, down Hwy. 11 and around the back of Lake Lanier, before dropping into Tryon. Once in town they will ride together until splitting off at Hwy. 176.
Cash anxiously hopes to see spectators lining the streets of Tryon as the cyclists arrive between 8:45 and 9:30 a.m. He said what they would witness is something cyclist fans in Europe and other countries camp out overnight to see.
"We're hoping to get a lot of spectators out to cheer them on," Cash said. "If these riders see people lined up along the roadsides to watch, it will make [the riders] want to return to our area to ride again or simply visit."
Cash knows this from personal experience. He said he and his wife have returned to Helen, Ga. many times because of the reception he received while riding in an event there. He said the spectators made riders feel welcomed.
When the Gran Fondo cyclists reach Hwy. 176, about 700 of the riders will head up to Saluda for the shorter 50-mile ride, while another 400, including Hincapie and Cash, will make their way over the mountains for a total of 80 miles.
"I've been a huge fan [of Hincapie's] for a long time," Cash said. "This is such an honor to be able to ride with him."
These ambitious riders will continue on a route that Hincapie says is his favorite ride, a ride he often used for training during his career, over Skyuka, Howard Gap and Green River Cove. In a video offered on Hincapie's website, the cyclist explains why this route, instead of more infamous ones around the world, is his favorite to use in training.
"Winding through the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains the roads surrounding Greenville, S.C. offer the perfect challenging terrain for a cyclist," Hincapie explains. "They also offer some of the most beautiful scenery in the world."
Cash said the ride covers roughly 8,000 feet of climbing terrain. In the video, Hincapie shows off the wooded areas he bikes through, waterfalls he passes and awe-striking vistas along the way. Hincapie used the video to invite fellow cyclists to make the trip to our area for his retirement ride. Hincapie plans however to make this an annual event.
Cash said next year he expects organizers will have to put a cap on the number of riders because the first ride already grabbed so much attention internationally.
The event also offers festivities for cyclists' family members and the community, as the ride will end back at La Bastide around noon for the 50-mile riders. At La Bastide there will be family activities, exhibitors, food vendors, kids rides and local bands.
Cash added that if someone is particularly interested in helping out with the ride, there are still many volunteer spots available to assist with water stops and course monitoring along the way. If you would like to help out with the ride as a volunteer, call Cash at Nature's Storehouse at 828-859-6356.
The Hincapie Gran Fondo will benefit three Greenville charities including Meals on Wheels. For more information, visit GranFondoHincapie.com.

Affection toward the good, compassion toward the helpless, happiness in doing good deeds, forgiveness toward the wicked, all such things are natural characteristics of the Master.
Ramana Maharshi
Of Ramana Maharshi, the Sage of Arunachala, it is often said that his silence was more eloquent than his words. This austere master, who lived and died a hermit on the Arunachala hill of South India, left posterity the legacy of his wisdom. And we are all the richer for having inherited his teachings on self-enquiry and his simple yet profound Advaitic philosophy of life.

Earlier this week, in response to Al Jazeera's first release of The Palestine Papers, Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas tried to dismiss the documents by invoking pan-Arab solidarity.
"We don't hide anything from our Arab brothers," he said in Cairo. "We have been briefing our Arab brothers about all our activities with the Israelis and the Americans."
But there is little Arab unity on display in The Palestine Papers: The documents reveal a Palestinian Authority that is often critical and mistrusting of its "Arab brothers".
Some of the earliest criticism came in July 2007, when chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat met with US security coordinator Keith Dayton. Erekat wanted to weaken Hamas, and asked Dayton to pressure several Arab regimes to cut support for the group:
Erekat: "Last 6 months we had the least amount of money transferrals from Arab states. Someone has to tell them something. Egypt is allowing the tunnels to continue. What's this business with the Saudis too? Bandar strikes a deal then Abdullah outmaneuvers him. These regimes depend on you, how can you..."
In an October 20, 2009 meeting with George Mitchell, Erekat accused the Qatari government of carrying out a campaign against him:
Erekat: The Emir of Qatar going on phone personally, calling intellectuals telling them to attack Abbas – calling Azmi Bishara and Abdul-Bari Atwan. This is because Abbas wouldn't go and do reconciliation in Qatar like the Lebanese. But there is nothing you do with Qatar. Qatar's prince, your ally, is conducting a personal campaign against Abbas.
The next day, while talking with then-US national security adviser James Jones, Erekat accuses the Saudi government of handing the region over to Hamas:
Erekat: "The Saudis are also crucial... with Iran, Hizbullah, Syria – jumping around the region. They are doing nothing. Abbas is doing Saudi Arabia's job. Instead they equate him with Hamas. The region is slipping away like sand through our hands."
Mistrust is another common theme, particularly with regards to the Egyptians. According to a February 3, 2008 e-mail, for example, Erekat worries that the Egyptian government is being duplicitous in regards to its position on Hamas:
"The President has heard re-assuring positions from Egypt regarding controlling Rafah crossing, and the need to abide by the Rafah agreement, as it preserve the political and economic unity b/w the West Bank and Gaza. Dr. Rafiq is not very confident; however, on trusting every single word that the Egyptians are saying, especially when it comes to the relations with Hamas."
Other documents show similar mistrust of the Egyptians. Erekat asks Mitchell in October 2009 to talk with the Egyptians about a proposed reconciliation deal between Hamas and Fatah, asking Mitchell to ensure that "whatever they put in the paper won't result in the return of the siege. We don't want any surprises."
Qatar's role causes similar concerns for the PA. Hazem Atallah, the West Bank security chief, tells Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni that "Hamas is funded from Qatar" in an April 2008 meeting.
And there is a bizarre exchange in February 2009, when Erekat meets with Obama adviser Gamal Hilal:
Erekat: "How are your Qatari friends?" Hilal: "Not my friends. We should replace the US base there with Palestinian forces. Maybe they can take over." Erekat: "Who pays for the US base?" PS: "Qatar paid for much of it. Moving it (to the Emirates) would be very expensive. They also subsidize its operations." Hilal: "So we can ship missiles from there to Israel..."
Erekat: "How are your Qatari friends?"
Hilal: "Not my friends. We should replace the US base there with Palestinian forces. Maybe they can take over."
Erekat: "Who pays for the US base?"
PS: "Qatar paid for much of it. Moving it (to the Emirates) would be very expensive. They also subsidize its operations."

Meritage Homes Announces Expiration Of Early Tender Period, Preliminary Results Of Tender Offer For 2017 Notes And Notice Of Redemption To Holders Of 2017 Notes
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meritage Homes Corporation (NYSE:MTH), a leading U.S. homebuilder, today announced the expiration of the early tender period and preliminary results for the Company's cash tender offer to purchase any or all of its outstanding $99,825,000 aggregate principal amount 7.731% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 ("2017 Notes") and its related consent solicitation (together, the "Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation"). The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation was made pursuant to the Company's Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents, the related Consent and Letter of Transmittal and press release, each dated February 27, 2013, (collectively, the "Offer Documents"), which set forth a more detailed description of the terms.
Based on information provided by the depositary for the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, an aggregate principal amount of approximately $16,700,000 of 2017 Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Holders of 2017 Notes who validly tendered their 2017 Notes in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation as of 12:00 midnight, New York City time on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 (the "Early Tender & Consent Date") will receive $1,033.75 per $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes accepted in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.
The tender offer for the 2017 notes will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March 26, 2013 (the "Expiration Date"). Holders of 2017 Notes who validly tender after the Early Tender & Consent Date and at or before the Expiration Date will receive $1,003.75 per $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes accepted in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, which excludes the early consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes.

NEW YORK Service centers have been plagued by thin margins and low volumes in the second half of 2012, and theres little on the horizon to suggest that will change in 2013, a service center executive told AMM.
"I think next year looks like this year," said Lisa Goldenberg, president of Fort Washington, Pa.-based Delaware Steel Co. of Pennsylvania and president of the Association of Steel Distributors. "I think 13 might be a little tougher because were getting worn down."
Goldenberg said that despite signs of life in major steel-consuming sectors, distributors margins are still squeezed, exacerbated by low volumes.
"I dont think well come back from the New Year (holiday) to a robust market," she said. Many in the market feel demoralized by uncertainty and the lack of any sustained business growth. "The price increases are helping, but between lower margins and lower volume, its challenging," Goldenberg said, pointing out that prices havent followed the traditional pattern of rising over the summer, entering an autumn lull and then rising once again.
Domestic sheet mills announced three rounds of price increases in the final quarter of the year, but while the moves seem to have helped push prices higher, the upswing lost steam in early December amid minimal spot buying, market sources told AMM.
"In October, I would have said we were following the same pattern (toward strong demand and pricing in the first quarter), but now what Im seeing is more a question mark," Goldenberg said. "The puzzle to me is (that) the numbers in each industry over the last three years are progressively better. Even in nonres(idential) housing, the numbers are terrible but progressively better. So why arent we feeling it? We should be feeling some improvement in demand at the service center level."
Amid the uncertainty, businesses likely will continue to focus on making investments with existing reserves rather than working with bank partners, Goldenberg said. "Cash is your partner." That mentality will keep service centers hunkered down with their purse strings tight in 2013, she said.

Hey everyone!!
Hey Everyone!!! Im Steve and ive been a Reds fan since I was five years old, thats when i got really interested and was old enough to understand the game. Im married with three amazing kids. My wife is a very angry person and makes me want to kill myself haha somehow our marriage works probably because I come from a family of people pleasers. We aim to please, were nice people, we tend to try and make everyone around us happy, especially in a work environment which by the way Im a restaurant manager. Im very differential in the work environment. I want to work harder than Im expected to work and get less. Im comfortable in that role. I dont want a lot of attention. Work this hard, dont stick my head out too much, do a really good job, make people happy. When Im not working, Im spending time with my kids or avoiding my wife and doing sports stuff on the computer.

Surface Storage Projects
Related Storage Links
Water resources planning has changed significantly over the past several decades. New approaches to planning for CALFED surface storage has resulted in a new era of project formulations designed to address new water resources needs in California. The State and federal governments have funded the five Surface Storage Investigations, which were explicitly conceived to support at least three of CALFED's programmatic goals: water supply reliability, water quality, and ecosystem restoration.
These new projects are being designed to be adaptive and robust, and would support aquatic and riparian ecosystem restoration focused on the Delta and its tributaries, improved drinking and habitat water quality, and the water supply needs associated with California's growing population and diverse economy. Furthermore, these projects must perform well under a number of potential future conditions including changing environmental conditions and needs, climate change, alternative Delta conveyance and management, and disaster/emergency response scenarios.
