Classic Fender cleans and just enough gain in limited edition Black Gold.
The Super-Sonic Twin Black Gold 100W 2x12 tube guitar combo amp is a high-performance, no-nonsense tube amp with limited edition Black Gold cosmetics. It creates unmistakable Fender clean tones and expressive modern high-gain tones without masking the tonal character of your guitar. The 100W Super-Sonic Twin combo contains several sonically versatile new features, including an Arena/Club switch that takes the power down to 25 watts (to preserve its great high-volume tube tone at lower "club gig" volume levels); a Notch Tune control that lets you move the midrange notch and fine-tune the distortion characteristics for a variety of American and British amp sounds; a rear-panel damping control that lets you select "normal," "loose" or "tight" speaker response for sounds ranging from warm and loose to tight and focused; and the new Fender Automatic Bias control, which lets you easily set the output tubes to the recommended factory setting and to your preference of "hotter" or "cooler" bias with no need for meters or tools.
The Vintage channel gets shimmering clean tone derived from Fender Twin Reverb and Showman amps or the thick, punchy sound of a 1960s-era Bassman amp. The Burn channel gets you edgy breakup and distortion with variable compression, thickness and sustain. Other features include dual 12" Celestion Vintage 30 speakers; tube-driven Fender long-spring reverb; effects loop with level control that also works as a footswitch-operated boost; and custom Schumacher transformers. Cover and pedalboard-friendly four-button footswitch included.

Wallpapering reviews in Miami
In ten words or less? Beyond my wildest dreams. 1. I hate people in my space. They were in and out in the time they said they would be and did not falter. 2. I hate dust and the accompanying mess that goes with renovation. They were neat, clean and I didn't know they had been there at the end of the workday. 3. When they completed the job they cleaned and made sure that every stick of furniture and piece of art that needed to go back on the wall was in its place before they left. 4. When it came to price negotiation, this company owner is a man of his word beyond expectation. He means what he says and says what he means and never veered from that from the time of the opening discussion. 5. As a result I would recomend this company to anyone that were to ask me about a reputable company and the owner being a man with integritu which we all know today is very rare."
This was the first time I had used their services. One of my neighbors recommended them and it went extremely well. I got the house ready, gave them a key and then left for the week. When I got back, the house was painted. I was unsure what shade of color I wanted and he was very accommodating in helping me choose one. I plan to have him back for exterior work. I feel he has very reasonable prices. Two men worked eight days and the price also included the paint. He even asked if it was o.k. if they could work on the weekends. Everything was clean when I got back and the furniture was put all back as well. They even asked permission to use my microwave to heat their lunches."
the area in which he was to work, by laying down tarps and covers. He cleans as he works, so there was little for me to do afterwards. Removing the old paper was very difficult and time consuming, but he finished the entire job, as he predicted that he would. He even left me enough paint, so that I will always have touch-up. I will never use anyone else than "
They said it would take between two - three days but it took six working days. This was because of the condition of the walls under the wallpaper. This was OK but I had to live with a mess for that time. They were two men working on it. It was a big job. I requested for two other jobs be completed and he gave an estimate. We were happy with the estimates for the second jobs BUT I have tried to contact "
My experience with this company was great. The workers came in on time; worked steadily for more than 8 hours; brought their own water and food (even though I offered). They put up with a lot of noise and people milling around in our household. The quality of the work was very good, (but not excellent; there are some places I want to sand down and sponge). They did a really good job on the bathroom, which was in quite a state after the wallpaper was removed. I felt the pricing was reasonable for the time they put in. Overall, "
We set an appointment time for an estimate with in a few days with a written estimate, well within the budget we set.

If value has dropped, gifting property before death may be smart tax move
You then add any capital improvements made to the property. As a rule of thumb (to be confirmed by your accountant), if the improvements are considered to last more than one year, they can be added to your basis. That's referred to as the "adjusted basis."
You then take the sales price and subtract the adjusted basis. That, in general terms, is your profit. You may also have to recapture any depreciation that the LLC took over the years, but again, that's something your accountant will have to assist you with. And since your father did not own the property on his death -- the LLC did -- there is no stepped-up basis.
But the mortgage amount is irrelevant in determining profit.
DEAR BENNY: Could you please inform me if the old law of easements -- where if you use an easement for over a period of years it becomes yours -- has been overturned? I believe I read in your column that it now applies only if there is a home or swimming pool on the easement line; otherwise, it always is reverted back to the original owner. --Patricia
DEAR PATRICIA: I do not believe I wrote that. You are referring to the law of "adverse possession," whereby if you use someone's property for a period of time spelled out in your state statute in a manner that is open, notorious and hostile, you can go to court and the court will order that you are now the property owner.
I have heard that many states are considering repealing (or modifying) this law, but do not have specifics. You may find information on the Web about your state law.
But don't confuse "easement" with "adverse possession." If you have a recorded easement that runs with the land in perpetuity, that's yours forever.

Great for most kids
keep swimming
from Seattle, WA
on 4/2/2014
Better for kids 12 years and up or those with longer arms. Slightly longer than most kickboards so easier for the older kids and adults. Good sturdy contruction and reliability that goes with the TYR brand.
Good shape, too flexible
Steve G.
from Arvada, CO
on 9/14/2013
Good product as expected from Tyr. I prefer a less flexible kickboard.
great kickboard

TYR Kickboard
Wet Will

tyr kickboard
from Treasure Island Florida
on 3/18/2014
This is a very sturdy board ,great for kicking across the pool, also use it for AB exercises
Too Large
from CRAMERTON, NC
on 2/5/2014
Quality and construction are good, but the problem for me is that it is way too big (too much buoyancy). I find that it causes the front of my body to ride way too high in the water and causes back pain because I can't keep my body straight. If you were 220+ lbs I think it would be okay.

RGIII has emerged as the Redskins offensive and team leader this offseason. With a new coach in town Washington can hit the reset button after last year's abysmal season. Griffin has set the tone for players this offseason, and that message has been clear from Griffin. After safety Ryan Clark signed with the team Griffin called him, congratulated him, and immediately told him: "Now let's go to work."
This is exactly the type of attitude that the Redskins need throughout their locker room, and Griffin is setting the standard for the Redskins locker room this offseason. Leadership starts from the top, so when your franchise quarterback is the first one in the weight room and the last one out, teammates will follow his example. This is the best thing that could happen to the Redskins locker room.
There are a lot of reasons to think Griffin will improve in 2014, but I think Griffin will be better than ever in 2014. Griffin will get an entire offseason to work with his receivers, something he has never had before. The importance of these offseason reps are often undervalued, and will help Griffin's timing and accuracy in 2014.
With a now fully recovered knee, Griffin will be more comfortable and mobile in 2014 cutting on his knee that will no longer feature the bulky brace he wore in 2013. Griffin should look like his rookie-of-the-year dynamic athletic self in 2014 now a year removed from surgery. Chris Cooley recently raved about Griffin's mobility, saying that he looked like a different player than he was last year. Cooley went on to say watching Griffin all he could do is think "You're an absolute freak" (talking about Griffin's athletic ability).
Cooley isn't the only one raving about the third-year quarterback. Quarterback guru Terry Shae was recently quoted saying Griffin "looked 100% healthy." Shae went on to comment on Griffin's improved footwork and release-point, which will improve Griffin's accuracy in 2014.
Griffin over-achieved in 2012. He and Alfred Morris made an average at best Redskins offense that lacked playmakers outside of the rookie duo look explosive. With two years of NFL experience now under his belt, a better offense including a plethora of weapons around him, expect a healthy RGIII to explode in 2014.
All signs are pointing to Griffin returning to his 2012 form. Just that fact alone will make Griffin dangerous in 2014. However, when you pair that with a quarterback friendly coach, a full offseason of work, and a drastically improved offense defensive coordinators should start game-planning on how to stop Griffin now, because it's not going to be easy. Expect Griffin's mobility, accuracy, and overall play to be better than ever in 2014.

We can't even forget our traditional music. The Opera was born in Italy and now is renowned all over the world and it is something the Italians are proud of.
Another key element of our culture ist the gastronomy. Every region has its own typical cuisine that is, at same time, delicious and healthy. A tourist, that comes in Italy, can't afford not to taste our typical dishes.
Unfortunately there are many stereotypes about the Italians. Usually the Italians are said to be dishonest, tricky, chaotic. I have to admitt that sometimes these stereotypes are true, but there are many honest Italians that observe the rules, work a lot and try to make these stereotypes untrue.

I'm here to wish everybody a Happy New Year.
But I have to emphasize that it is a wish, not an expectation. In fact, while I am usually cautiously pessimistic, I am throwing caution to the wind this time, and admitting that I think my wish is pretty much a pipe dream.
I think we are in for a very unlucky 2013.
The frenzy, of course, is the agreement recently reached by Congress and President Obama to prevent us from plunging off the alleged "fiscal cliff" into economic oblivion. Once they did that, we were told by numerous TV talking heads, we can all ride off into a secure, prosperous new year. If they hadn't, we'd have done our own version of the Mayans' end of the world.
But that is mostly a manufactured frenzy. If either side seriously thought the economy would collapse over a cliff that is more like a curb, there would have been serious negotiation going on. Instead, there was mainly posturing and spin.
The hard work was not about how to address the real fiscal cliff facing the coming American generations, but about trying to convince the country who to blame if Jan. 1 arrived and a scheduled combination of tax increases and spending cuts took effect - a deadline that Congress and the president created through a previous agreement.
The thing is, we really do have a crisis. It's just not the kind of crisis that eating the rich is going to fix.
But nobody wants to talk about that - not when the blame game is so much more fun and such an easy distraction. Democrats are generally better at it. And, sure enough, most voters seemed to think that if the GOP would just go along with the president - and agree to tax the fat cats, bankers, corporate jet owners, and everybody else who didn't realize that, "at some point you've made enough money (and the rest should go to the government)" - our deficits and debt would melt away without any need for limits in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, and endless unemployment insurance.

Tales of My Author Tour: Speaking at the Pentagon Bookstore
Thursday, December 31, 1998
On May 11, 1998, I was scheduled by my publisher to give a short speech and autograph books in the Pentagon Bookstore. When I arrived, I was disappointed to find that the public could not get in. At the same time, this also meant that my audience would consist exclusively of Pentagon employees, which was quite interesting to me. I wondered...

The first indication of how financial professionals expect Y2K (The Year 2000 Problem) to affect the economy has appeared in the form of a financial futures trade that reveals their private thinking on this matter.

The Alleged December 7, 1998 Landing
Monday, November 16, 1998
There is no credible evidence that anything like a landing of UFOs is going to take place on December 7, 1998, or indeed at any other time. A lot of excitement is presently being generated about a landing occurring in Sedona, AZ, on that date. Some UFO investigators are claiming that this is the beginning of the battle for earth-- and, in the...

The June 6, 1998 Experience: Update

The more implants get removed and convincing UFO footage appears, the more concrete the visitors become. But is this good?

So I want to remind you: I...

Massachusetts study: High demand for publicly funded family planning services, despite near universal insurance
Higher insurance rates don't mean people stop seeking care at publically funded health centers, found a recent study of family planning clinics in Massachusetts. The findings speak to serious concerns within public health circles that policy-makers may point to higher insurance rates as a justification to cut critical public health funding.
In a first-of-its-kind study, a researcher has estimated that the health-related economic savings of removing bisphenol A from our food supply is a whopping $1.74 billion annually. And that's a conservative estimate.
"Millions of Americans use antibacterial hand soap and body wash products. Although consumers generally view these products as effective tools to help prevent the spread of germs, there is currently no evidence that they are any more effective at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water," wrote the US Food and Drug Administration…
"There's a lot we don't know about preterm birth and we know even less about the disparities in those births." Those are words from Ondine von Ehrenstein, who recently examined the links between occupational exposures and preterm birth rates among Hispanic women.
It's probably my earliest public health memory — the image of Surgeon General C. Everett Koop and his grandfatherly beard on the television warning my elementary school self about the dangers of smoking. He was the first doctor I knew by name.
With so much pressure on the Affordable Care Act to immediately live up to high expectations, and with opponents who seem gleeful at the news that Americans are having a hard time signing up for affordable health care, it's reassuring to read that the health reform law can readily take a few blows and keep moving forward.
Now that it's 2014, millions more people in the US have health insurance coverage (either Medicaid or private insurance), thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Two different Medicaid efforts in Oregon hold lessons about what it might take to turn expanded insurance coverage into better health outcomes.
Denying undocumented immigrants access to the ACA's main avenues for covering the uninsured has implications for the hospitals and health centers that serve uninsured people. (Re-post, by Liz Borkowski)
On average, eating healthy costs about $1.50 more per day than the least healthy diets, according to a new study. The extra cost seems insignificant at first — a small cup of coffee often costs more — but it all adds up to be a considerable barrier for many low-income families.
An ER nurse's observations about this year's flu season.

After a strong start to the season in week 1, the Cowboys hope to follow up their 36-31 win over NY with another win against the Chiefs in week 2. Last year, Dallas was in a similar situation. After upsetting NY in week 1, the Cowboys could not handle the success and fell flat on their faces vs the Seahawks. This time, Dallas gets another shot to start off the season 2-0.
-Brian Waters will be the starting right guard
-Jamaal Charles will be a full go
-Spencer will be limited
-Williams will still be the third receiver
Biggest Match Ups
Dwayne Bowe vs Brandon Carr: The Cowboys allowed too many big plays to receivers last week, allowing the Giants their first game with 3 receivers go over 100 yards. Brandon Carr is the Cowboys best player in the secondary and it will be his job to take Bowe out of the game. Carr has the skills to do it, and expect him to not allow Bowe many yards. However, a touchdown catch or two for Bowe and a couple key plays makes him the winner. Winner: Bowe
Dez Bryant vs Brandon Flowers: Brandon Flowers is a corner that is very underrated and 5 times better than Prince Amukamara. The Giants didn't give Bryant any one on one chances, but with Flowers covering Bryant, the Chiefs will take some shots. Bryant is too good against one on one no matter who the corner is, and Romo will take advantage of that. Flowers will have a good day as part of the double coverage, but in single coverage, Flowers will give up some plays. Winner: Bryant
Quarter by Quarter
Q1: The Cowboys will get the ball first and hit a wall of a defense. It will be a sloppy, punt filled first quarter with limited offense and no scoring.
Q2: The Chiefs get the first solid drive going in the beginning of the second quarter. Bowe has a 15 yard catch on third down to keep a drive going, and slow but steady progress by Charles carries the Chiefs to the redzone. From the 10. The Chiefs run a short pass to Bowe who makes a contested catch against Carr for the first score. Chiefs lead 7-0. Romo still can't get the offense going and the Cowboys punt again. The Cowboys get the ball back on the strength of the defense, but Romo makes a mistake, trying to force the ball into a short window to Austin, and it is picked off by Sean Smith. The Chiefs take advantage of the riled up crowd and field position, taking it into the redzone. However, on third down, Hatcher gets the sack and the Chiefs only get a field goal, extending their lead to 10-0. The Cowboys get a little more going after that as Romo and Austin start carrying the offense. They get down the field but only come away with a field goal. There is no more scoring for the half, and the Cowboys go to halftime trailing 10-3.
Q3: The Chiefs get the ball to start the second half and the offense runs too good. Jamaal Charles has a big run, Bowe takes catch to the Cowboys 30 and Dallas is in hot water. But George Selvie continues to make his name and adds sack number 2 of the season to his resume, stalling the drive and forcing another field goal. The Chiefs now lead 13-3. On their first possession of the third quarter, Dallas finally seems to completely open up the offense. A couple short runs sets up a pass. Romo drops back and bombs it to Austin who makes the catch in stride before he's dragged down by Sean Smith for a 55 yard gain. Bryant takes a slant inside the 5, and from a goal line situation, Bryant makes a back shoulder fade catch over Flowers for the Cowboys first TD and narrows the score, 13-10. On the ensuing Chiefs possession, that ballhawking defense comes to life, as a short out route to Fasano is read and picked by Lee, who stumbles out of bounds. Dallas marches down the field and Romo throws his second TD of the game, a short slant to Austin, and Dallas takes the lead, 17-13. Alex Smith takes command, driving down for a field goal before the quarter ends, 17-16.
Q4: Dallas starts with the ball and after a short drive, Dallas punts the ball away. The Chiefs drive down to midfield, before the Dallas defense makes another big play; Smith's pass is tipped at the line, and Carter comes swooping in. He juggles and bobbles, but finally secures the loose ball and has a clear track down for the Cowboys third defensive TD of the year, and the Cowboys extend to a 24-16 lead. The Chiefs drive back down, and with 6 minutes left, hit a field goal to make it a 24-19 game. Dallas punts again and KC has the ball with just a few minutes to go. After getting to the Dallas 25, the Chiefs face a fourth down and 8. Smith struggles to find someone, dumps it to Charles, but he is swarmed for just a 3 yard gain and Dallas regains possession. With hard running, Dallas gains a couple first downs and run out the rest of the clock for a 24-19 victory.
Romo: 18/29, 210 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Murray: 25 rush, 105 yards, 2 rec, 20 yards
Witten: 4 rec, 35 yards
Austin: 5 rec, 65 yards
Bryant: 7 rec, 70 yards, TD
Selvie: 2 tackles, 1 sack
Ware: 3 tackles, 1 sack
Smith: 23/35, 230 yards, 1 TD
Charles: 24 rush, 125 yards, 4 rec, 35 yards
Bowe: 4 rec, 55 yards, 1 TD
Houston: 5 tackles, 1 sack

As expected, Cuba's latest census, held in September 2012, shows the island's population to be stagnant and aging.
Final statistics released earlier this month by Cuba's Oficina Nacional de Estadísticas show that the island had 11,167,135 inhabitants, down from 11,177,743 in the previous census 10 years earlier.

Cuba's top diplomat in the United States, José Ramón Cabañas Rodríguez, may be a man of his time. The youthful-looking Cabañas, who's not much older than the Cuban Revolution, was dispatched to Washington at a time when U.S.-Cuba relations are clearly stuck in a deep freeze.
He has a reputation for being shrewd and intelligent, with special aptitudes for pressing Cuba's agenda and making important connections to the Cuban exile community. Those skills may serve him well if the political winds shift and Cuba's relations with the United States warm before President Obama leaves office in January 2017.

Tyson Gau made team history on Sunday by becoming the all-time wins leader in Augustana baseball with his game one victory on Sunday in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference play. The Vikings won both games against Minnesota Crookston in the doubleheader to complete the four-game sweep of the Golden Eagles.
Augustana improved its record to 17-7 (7-1 NSIC) with the victories. Minnesota Crookston fell to 1-19 (0-8 NSIC) on the year.
Game One
Gau (3-2) became the all-time leader in wins in Vikings' history with his complete game shutout in the 7-0 win. Gau surrendered just three hits, and struck out seven for Augustana. The Alexandria, S.D native recorded his 21st victory of his career, breaking a tie the senior had with Owen Hoegh.
Jack Goihl went 2 for 2 with two RBI in game.
Tony Viger scored two runs in the win.
Gau started his day by making quick work of the Golden Eagles' batters in the first, getting a 1-2-3 on just six pitches.
The Vikings started fast at the plate, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first inning to make it a 4-0 game. Jake Petersen capped off the high-scoring inning with a two-out double to center field that drove in Kye Winter from second base. Augustana got four runs on four hits in the inning.
Gau then struck out the side in the top of the second after giving up a double to Travis Magdzas to lead off the inning. Rob Smothers then got on first after an error by Viger and Magdzas advanced to third base. Gau took control from there, fanning the next three batters to get out of trouble.
Augustana scored three runs in the bottom of the second to push its lead to seven. Goihl highlighted the inning with a two-run RBI single that scored Alex Fink and Viger.
Gau's masterful day really took hold after the second inning, giving up just one hit in the final five innings to give the Vikings the 7-0 victory.
Game Two
Augustana completed the four-game sweep of Minnesota Crookston in game two with a 14-5 win.
The Vikings got 17 hits, one of their season high, in the contest.
Michael Letkewicz (4-1) picked up his team-leading fourth win of the year in the game. Letkewicz finished his day going five innings and giving up two runs on five hits. The sophomore from Waterloo, Iowa also had seven strikeouts in game.
Fink tied his career high in hits with a perfect 4 for 4 performance at the plate. Fink also notched his third four-RBI game this year in the win.
Viger went 3 for 4 at the plate, while driving in a season-high four runs in the win. All three of Viger's hits were doubles, putting the senior's total up to 17 on the year, a new personal best for the Sioux Falls, S.D. native.
Marcus O'Neill had a three-hit day and scored three runs in the game. O'Neill also had one RBI.
The Golden Eagles scored their first run of the series in the top of the first to take an early 1-0 lead off a Ryan Haggstrom single that scored Patrick Higgins.
Augustana responded by scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. The Vikings got their three runs on two hits.
Another three-run inning in the bottom of the fourth made it 8-1 in favor of the Vikings. Goihl's RBI double to right center that brought in Viger from second base gave pushed the lead to seven for Augustana.
Minnesota Crookston got to within three in the top of the sixth inning after the Golden Eagles got two unearned runs on an error by Zach Dibble to make it 8-5.
The Vikings put this one away in the bottom of the sixth with three runs of their own on four hits to make it 11-5.
Augustana tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the seventh, pushing its lead to nine at 14-5. Viger's double to center field that drove in O'Neill and Petersen from second and third capped off the inning.
The Vikings went on to win 14-5, extending their winning streak to eight games.

From the latest issue of "The Good News"
Dear Friends,
For the past few days Nancy and I have hosted Pastor Paul Mdumi from Tanzania, and many of you got to meet him. He is a most interesting man. He is a Lutheran pastor and a former student of ours. But he is so much more. He left Wazo Hill congregation a few years ago to get an advanced degree (after our Richfield group worshipped there). During this time he also began a business of supplying food to ships coming into the port of Dar es Salaam. It has gone very well. He has also started three other businesses. On Monday, July 21, we visited an egg farm here so he could learn from American poultry practices. Paul is an eager learner and excellent businessman.
I find this inspiring because he connects his faith so closely with his work. He employs over ten people now, some of whom have been hurt in their previous jobs and he has given them a second chance. He gives away generous amounts of his income to help orphans. He bought all sorts of gifts for family and friends while here. In our conversations about whether he should get back in the pulpit (which he deeply wants to do), I told him, "Paul: the Kingdom of God needs more than preachers to accomplish its mission." He clearly has the gift for building successful businesses.
It's all part of stewardship and God's mission. Each of us has talents to use in serving God's world. Some preach. Some do electrical or plumbing work. Some teach. Some build businesses. A core belief for Lutherans is "the priesthood of all believers." By virtue of our baptism we are ordained--called to be priests— called to use our talents in service to Christ's mission wherever that might be. None is better or greater than the other. We are all needed.
Pastor Mdumi is an example of the diversity of services that we can provide, and how we can move from one area to another, always serving the one common mission of Christ: to love and serve our neighbor and to care for God's beautiful creation.
Pastor Rolf Olson
Unbinding our Future
Dear Friends,
We have been working through
various aspects of evangelism the past few weeks. About 40 RELCers have been
meeting in small groups to discuss this more deeply through Unbinding Your Heart, but all of us in
worship have been exploring it together on Sunday mornings. It is a fact that
most Lutherans do not talk about what we believe. It is also obvious that if we
don't talk about it, then others will have little reason to come near us to
explore what the Christian faith might offer them. The sad outcome is the
demise of the Lutherans.
BUT!!! RELC is working to change
that direction. We have been working at a positive understanding of evangelism:
"sharing something you enjoy with others
that you like." Isn't that great? We
do it with recipes, with gardening tips, with sports stories. Why not with the
deepest meaning in our lives? With that positive understanding we can talk with
others and explain what is behind our worship, our lives
of loving service, our focus on forgiveness over revenge.
Long after our six weeks emphasis is over we will need to
continue to build on this focus. A baby step now will need to be followed by
giant steps into our future. Please continue to pray for this process. We will
talk more about this at a congregational information session after worship on
Sunday, June 29. Please make every
effort to attend.
Your fellow servant in Christ,
Pastor Rolf Olson

Color, like music, plays an important role in the life of God's worshiping people. Just as music is the "handmaiden to theology," liturgical color complements the message of the seasons and occasions during the church year. Taking a familiar seat in the sanctuary preceding worship on any given Sunday, and the worshiper's emotions and intellect are immediately engaged by color. Liturgical colors aid in establishing a climate in which Law and Gospel may be heard and received.
Color, like light which is its source, is most helpful when it is pleasing as well as stimulating to the senses. However, let's never forget its primary role in divine worship: Color allows us to see the Light of Life, Jesus Christ. At Richfield Evangelical Lutheran Church, we see light reflected in our beautiful Christ window throughout the year in many different ways, depending on the location of the sun and the cloud cover of the morning. At RELC, we follow the liturgical calendar. The paraments, vestments, altar clothes, banners, traditionally employed each Sunday, must be seen as more than an attempt to decorate, or give accent to the chancel. They reflect the liturgical season we are currently in.
Traditionally, five basic colors of a festive, penitential, and neutral nature have been used in most liturgical congregations. At RELC we use blue, white, purple, red, green, and black. Following the church calendar (that begins with Advent in December) here is a brief listing of what colors go with what seasons:
BLUE is the more contemporary color increasingly used by many congregations in their observance of a new church year. Advent takes place four weeks prior to Christmas
WHITE is the color Christmas and Epiphany and takes us through Transfiguration Sunday - the Sunday before Ash Wednesday.
PURPLE is the color of Lent and is used in church settings from Ash Wednesday through Maundy Thursday.
BLACK is seen very seldom during the year. It appears on Good Friday and is seen on the altar and cross. The absense of light and the stark surrounding of the sanctuary send a sobering message of Good Friday.
WHITE is used for the season of Easter that takes us from Easter Sunday 50 days to the beginning of Pentecost.
RED is used on Pentecost Sunday and then during the season of Pentecost, the paraments change to Green. Red is also used in late October for Reformation Sunday.
GREEN is by far the most common color seen during the year. Lutheran Worship calls for its use during the seasons Pentecost.
On Christ the King Sunday, in late November, Richfield Evangelical Lutheran Church celebrates the church year by combining every color of the liturgical season into a celebration worship that leads us through the many seasons of the church before we start a new church year, the next Sunday, the beginning of Advent.
We invite you to join us any Sunday morning for worship at see the many colors of the church seasons reflected in our rainbow effected Christ Window at Richfield Lutheran at 9:30am.

Pamela Parker | July 21, 2006 | Comments
The company plans to put $500 million into online services, including ad-supported businesses, over the next fiscal year.
Revenues at Microsoft's MSN declined 3 percent year-over-year, coming in at $580 million, as compared to $598 million during the same period last year. The company revealed results and plans for MSN when it announced earnings for its fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 yesterday.
This quarter's earnings report comes as Microsoft pumps dollars into its MSN, Live.com and other ad-supported businesses, hoping to benefit from the boom in online advertising.
In the most recent quarter, growth in the advertising portion of the MSN business was flat, according to the company, while the access business, unsurprisingly, declined 13 percent. While Microsoft executives didn't break out display advertising revenue, CFO Chris Liddell said expansion was in line with growth in the industry as a whole.
As for search, the company indicated that it has been making progress in transitioning its sponsored listings to home grown ads. Previously, Yahoo Search Marketing had syndicated its ads on MSN. The company said that all U.S. search ads are now served by MSN adCenter. The system is also fully up and running in France and Singapore, where the product received early trials. A roll-out in the United Kingdom is planned for August.
"It's not far off that we're going to have 100 percent of our business on adCenter," said Liddell on a conference call with investors. "Clearly, it's in our line of sight."
In keeping with those plans, Microsoft plans to spend $500 million in developing its online services business, which includes MSN, Search, adCenter, Live.com, Office Live and CRM Live, in the coming fiscal year. Some of those dollars will go into creating and acquiring content to drive display advertising. The company will also work to develop its search and advertising platforms, Liddell said.
"We do not expect MSN to be profitable in this fiscal year [2007]," Liddell added. "We see for MSN that fiscal year '07 will be an investment year."
Overall, Microsoft reported fourth quarter revenue of $11.8 billion, a 16 percent increase over the same period last year. Net income for the fiscal fourth quarter was $2.38 billion, or $0.28 per share. The net income figure represents a 24 percent drop over the same period a year ago, when earnings were $3.7 billion, or $0.34 per share.
The company also announced a $20 billion stock repurchase, to be completed August 16, 2006. Additionally, Microsoft's board of directors authorized a second $20 billion for an ongoing share repurchase program.

I had nothing to say, profound or otherwise, so I skipped blogging, knowing I was leaving points on the table.
I did not feel wonderful, not bad, just not good. I ended up eating a lot of carbos- that's the only thing that helps when my stomach hurts like that for no real reason. Today was like that as well. I cut short my walk today. But I made it through the day. Having instant mashed potatos tonight. I am sure I'll be back on track tomorrow...More than likely over on carbs and calories. I did not feel like eating for about 3 days and, since starting SP have had fewer than 5 days going over, so I am not going to beat myself up about it.
I hope so! I am tired of behaving like a couch potato!
The stomach issues are probably due to nerves, albeit unacknowledged. I am dreading Friday through Sunday as I do the prep for my colonoscopy....ugh!
Thank you, Spark Friends, for your encouragement! Today was more on target than yesterday...
I got a short walk in today. I am SORE from it, but it was ok. I was at a large open shopping center. I walked all over instead of driving. At one point, I very nearly tripped over a crack in the sidewalk as I got close to the traffic light. I am sure I looked really funny with arms flailing as I avoided falling. What the drivers waiting for the light to change could not know is that, pre-Spark, I would have done a face plant! My balance is improving!
So I am 2 more miles closer to Eureka on my virtual journey!
I am still under in nutrition, but I refuse to eat just to eat. I am pretty close to minimum in calories, low in carbs, fat and calcium as usual.
The scale showed I did not gain and I did not lose this week. My body says I've lost just by the way it feels and acts. I've mentioned before that, when I lose weight, I can feel the change in my center of balance every 5, 7 or 10 pounds. it makes me a bit off balance for a few days. Then it readjusts and I am fine until I get to another point.
Lunch at Chilis with my school friend was nice. The visit was great, the food was edible. I carefully ordered some grilled chicken with black beans and rice. The black beans and rice tasted better than the chicken! My friend is looking for work and quite stressed. I told her about SparkPeople when I started and we talked about it briefly. She has gained about as much as I have lost, but acknowledges she can't really cope with her weight issues until she lands a paying job. She is doing an internship (no pay) with the county DA's office, but there is no chance that she'll get hired because, like the state, the county is not hiring.
I colored my hair this morning and don't like it. I chose a color a couple of shades darker than usual. I had to hide the white/grey! I'll get used to it. I will have to color it again before graduation even though that's just a month away. We'll see what I find on sale closer to that date. I still need to get it cut, but think I'll do that after midmonth payday.
The day started after a glorious 8+ hours of sleep and I should head to bed so that tomorrow can start the same way! I have a paper to write and tributes to pay to honor those who have served, thank those who are serving and give thanks that my brother is home safely!
Some day, I will make it to Arlington to pay my respects to Frank L. Toner III. He was killed in Afghanistan 03/28/09. He was my brother's roommate and coworker. Our families are forever joined by this loss. RIP Frankie! May God comfort his parents, siblings, family and widow...and his service buddies who saw this happen.
I did not exercise a whit today. I just didn't feel like it.
I also did not eat much. I felt really hungry early in the day, but did not give in. I am ending the day without eating more than about 600 calories. I feel fine, just not like eating or moving.
I should have gone to the high school graduation for a friend's daughter, but I did not feel like driving that far. I sent the graduate a check earlier in the week.
I have been staying up too late, avoiding sleep because the my first waking thoughts are of Charlotte's children and other unsettling thoughts.
I did do some of my homework today, but that is the only productive thing I did all day.
I'm supposed to have lunch with a fellow paralegal student tomorrow. A third was going to join us, but cancelled. She sent an email later saying she'd discovered her husband had been unfaithful and her world has just fallen apart. I kept waiting for a "just kidding" note (she does tease), but none was forthcoming. I can't wrap my head and heart around this.
I know what I need to do, but I can't seem to find any motivation! BLEH!
I have to figure out how to better cope with loss. I am still really rattled by Charlotte's sudden death last week, even though I hardly knew her. I have trouble sleeping and I wake up finding myself thinking about the needless death and the permanent loss for her children.
With that on my mind, the pollen in the air and the fact that I was very active earlier this week, I started having shooting pains in my right arm and shoulder. I came home early to get my BF, intending to go to Kaiser. He was not home and I had mislaid my cellphone earlier this week (part of that distraction), so I was stuck until he got home (we no longer have a landline - cost saving).
When he got home, he gave me my phone (he had found it and charged it). I called the advice nurse and, in talking with her, we realized I was not having a serious problem, that the pain was probably from my carrying boxes, moving files earlier in the week. I had completely forgotten about that! Too much going on.
Glad it was not serious, glad I did not have to spend the bulk of the afternoon at Kaiser. I am not one to go to doctors or anything often, but, knowing that Charlotte had some undiagnosed heart issues but knew something was wrong and did not go to the doctor. I am older than she is and, even though I don't have children, there are nieces and nephews. I must take care of myself in order to enjoy their lives. In my new SP lifestyle, taking care of myself includes paying attention and doing things I don't really want to do (such as go to the doctor).
Very often, I skip medical and dental stuff because of cost. Even though I have insurance, I sometimes can't or don't want to spend the money on the copays. The dental coverage is almost useless. I am working towards finding the self worth to take the time off from work and pay to go....sigh.
I came home to find I have to report for jury duty again. There are I don't know how many people who live in this county. I have lived in this county since the end of 1986 and I get summoned every year! I have never been chosen, but I still have to go through the game. Don't get me wrong. I am about to be a paralegal, so I love the law. I am interested in the process. But, what I have experienced has been inefficient use of time, dead time and needless disruption to my routine. The other thing is that I live at the extreme southern end of the county, less than a block to the county line, and I usually get summoned to the farthest distant court at the other end of the county. The county does not pay for the first day and they pay something like $5 per day after that. The money is not the point. I resent the time and the gas that it takes, though I might feel differently if I ever got chosen for a jury.
In California, they crossreference the voter rolls and the DMV lists and it's from those that they choose the jury pools. By statute, I can be called every 12 months. For years, I have received summons almost exactly to the day! And I know lots of people who have never been summoned!
Not much walking today, something over 5K. I got another mile closer on my virtual journey. I am ending the day within range nutritionally except 1 gram low in fat and a bit low in calcium again...Got in the water and feeling pretty good. I know I need to do more exercise...
Virtual journey update: 60.3 miles from Eureka. I did not walk a lot today (just over 8K steps), but this is a good thing. I have been able to walk every day this week! Sure I have been sore and stiff, but neither was a deal breaker. This is real progress, albeit very slow progress...!
Now if I could replicate that with strength training and something a bit more aerobic. In time.
I was hungry off and on today, but stayed within range except for my usual low in fat and low in calcium...
Today was a good day at work, for the most part. A very productive day! The sad part was saying goodby to a wonderful student. She is leaving the company. She graduates tomorrow, even though she has to take 2 or 3 hard classes this summer. She figures she cannot work through the summer and take the classes. She does not yet have another job, so that hurts for her. She is having to move, too. She's a very bright industrious young woman and will do well wherever she goes....My company's loss and a personal loss for me.
It was a week ago today that my coworker died and I keep thinking about her and the loss her passing represents. She did have unrecognized symptoms of heart problems. It's just such a shame! I take it as a lesson to be more vigilant of my health. Not looking forward to the colonoscopy early next month, but I for sure won't skip it. It would be hypocritic for me to do so after I tell friends to take care of themselves! And, fundamentally, it is the desire for health and quality of life that brought me to SP.

How in the world are the Minnesota TImberwolves winning? Last night marked the fourth-straight game in which the team saw a player go down to injury. Yet, they don't stop winning. Last night, Nikola Pekovic went down with what appears to be an ankle sprain, but the Wolves beat the Dallas Mavericks 90-82.
According to Jerry Zgoda of the Minnesota Star-Tribune, Pekovic sprained his ankle after stepping on Vince Carter's foot in the third quarter. He left the game and was unable to return. While Pekovic doesn't consider the injury serious, he is the sixth Wolves' player to go down to injury this season.
Minnesota improved to 5-2 last season despite being without their star Kevin Love and now five other players. Pekovic may have to miss more time depending on the extent of the sprain, but he will be evaluated further today. If the team has to play without Pekovic, they will likely go with a combination of Andre Kirilenko and Alexey Shved.
Pekovic, or Big Pek as he's called, has averaged 9.2 points per game and 4.9 rebounds per game in his career. But the 26-year old is in just his third NBA season and is continuing to get better. So far this season, he is averaging 15.3 points per game and 6.0 rebounds per game.

Scammers have found a way to prey on outdoor enthusiasts.
There is no reason to break the bank when camping at Yosemite National Park. It should cost about $20 a night for a permit. But rangers say they are seeing more and more campers being taken in by scalpers, selling camping permits for much more, sometimes $100 a night.
"This is the first year we've required permits 7 days a week on Half Dome, and those sell out in minutes," said Park Ranger Scott Gediman, adding rangers need to limit how many people are on the natural attraction.
Some of those lucky few getting permits do not plan on using them. The permits themselves are free, with a $1.50 service fee. But, scalpers are buying them up, then reselling them for exponentially more.
"People, unfortunately, are paying these prices and as long as people pay these prices and there is a market for them, people are going to continue to cheat the system and sell them," said Gediman.
Yosemite National Park officials are working hard to track down scalpers and figure out what they can be charged with.

Smoke, Munchies, oh and canals....
Day 1
It was sad to say goodbye to Tante Verena and Onkel Conrad, but we are looking forward to Amsterdam. We have arrived and found our hotel with little trouble. We have chosen to stay outside of Amsterdam at the Tulip Inn. This way we can park the car and take public transit into the heart of Amsterdam. This is always more convenient …
Day 39
... a common enemy!! It began as a port city and that's why the red light district is so well established and big (horny sailors). East India Trading Company was operated out of Amsterdam. The houses also lean forward but on purpose - to make them look bigger and more imposing. There are something like 1500 bridges in Amsterdam! The difference between cafés and coffeeshops (one sells drugs) It's not actually illegal to posses/sell/smoke marijuana but it's also ...
Anneliese Frank to Rachmaninoff
... Symphony. We were late and missed the overture, which was a piece by Beethoven. At least we were getting our culture. I love achmaninoff,especially his symphonies, and was not disappointed by this performance-it was fantastic.
As we were leaving to catch the Tram I felt something was hanging around my waist and realized my belt had broken. I mean, totally ...
Sex, Drugs and Genever...
... bodyguards to protect the women from unruly men. I thought it was all actually kind of cool once I saw a woman yelling at this gross man telling him to get away from her window, and how much allure these women had on the boys that passed the windows.
If someone wants to sell sex who am I to judge or determine if that is right or wrong? Would I participate or be happy if my boyfriend utilized their services, absolutely not, but I have really learned to ...
More canals than Venice
... carried on there.
Bikes and canals – that's Amsterdam! It might surpass Copenhagen in cycling culture, and apparently has more canals than Venice. Sidewalks are cluttered with bicycles, so pedestrians often have to walk in the street to get around them. Many bicycles have boxes on the front to carry one or two children or other cargo. I saw some nicely decorated bikes. And some really tiny cars, which are ...

TravelPod Member ReviewsTulip Inn Amsterdam Riverside
We stayed at the Tulip Inn in Vienna and the two do not compare. While this hotel is as advertised, it is lacking in some areas. The hotel is a little distant from the metro (1km) and through a construction area. The metro will take you downtown. The hotel would like you to reuse your towels, which is great! However, a towel rack or hooks of something in the bathroom to hang them from would be a good idea. The two hangers are not sufficient. There are no drawers or wardrobe to speak of, just a shelf for you luggage. The hotel breakfast is expensive at 15 Euro's each and no restaurants around to pick from. I would not stay here again.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.

Poll: Cameron and Osborne 'more trusted over economy'
New ComRes opinion poll statistics for The Independent on Sunday and Sunday Mirror have revealed that the Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne are more trusted to make decisions about the economy as opposed to their Labour counterparts.
Out of the 2,002 UK adults interviewed online by ComRes on 13 and 14 February 2013, 27 percent of pollers believed the Conservatives could be trusted to make correct economical decisions, compared to 20 percent of people who polled for Labour leader Ed Miliband and Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls.
Here is a breakdown of the figures:
- I trust David Cameron and George Osborne to make the right decisions about the economy
- Agree 27% (+2) Disagree 51% (-4) Net agree -24% (+6)
- I trust Ed Miliband and Ed Balls to make the right decisions about the economy
- Agree 20% (-1) Disagree 55% (+3) Net agree -35% (-4)
