These Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas, five hundred in all, were Bodhisattvas who had accomplished Universal Worthy's conduct and vows. Their states were unobstructed, because they universally pervaded all Buddha kshetras. They manifested measureless bodies, because they drew near to all Thus Come Ones.
Their pure eyes were unobstructed, because they beheld all of the Buddha's spiritual transformations. They went to limitless places, because they forever traveled to where all Thus Come Ones accomplished Proper Enlightenment.
Their light was boundless, because their wisdom light universally illumined all the seas of actual dharmas. They spoke Dharma without exhaustion, because they had inexhaustible pure eloquence throughout boundless kalpas. They were equal to the realm of empty space, because their conducts of wisdom were all purified.
They had no reliance whatsoever, because they accorded with living beings' minds in manifesting form bodies. They had destroyed the cataract of stupidity, because they realized that the realm of living beings had no living beings. They had wisdom which was equal to empty space, because their great brightness illumined the Dharma Realm.
There was also a gathering of five hundred Sound Hearers in the assembly. All of who had enlightened to the truth. They had certified to the reality limit, and deeply entered the Dharma nature. They had forever left the seas of existence. Relying upon the Buddha's merit and virtue, they had separated from the bondage of the knots and servants, and dwelt in the place of non-obstruction. Their minds were still and quiet, like empty space. At all the Buddha's places, they had cut off doubt and delusion. With regard to the sea of the Buddha's wisdom, they profoundly believed and entered.
There was also a gathering of measureless world rulers, who had made offerings to measureless Buddhas. They could always benefit all living beings, and act companions that did not need to be asked. They forever diligently guarded their vows and never forsook them. They entered into the worlds' supreme doors of wisdom and were born from the Buddha's teachings. They protected the Buddha's Proper Dharma and gave rise to great vows to never let the Buddha's seeds be cut off.
At that time, all the Bodhisattvas, the greatly virtuous Sound Hearers, the kings of the world and their retinue all had this thought:
The Thus Come One's practices of wisdom, the Thus Come One's aids, the Thus Come One's powers, the Thus Come One's fearlessness, the Thus Come One's samadhis, the Thus Come One's dwellings, the Thus Come One's masteries, the Thus Come One's bodies, the Thus Come One's wisdoms are such that in all worlds, all the gods and humans cannot penetrate them, cannot enter them, cannot believe and comprehend them, cannot understand them, cannot accept them, cannot contemplate them, cannot select them, cannot explain them, cannot proclaim them clearly, cannot enable living beings to understand them, except by the power of the Buddha's aids, the power of the Buddha's spiritual penetrations, the power of the Buddha's awesome virtue, the power of the Buddha's original vows, the power of good roots from previous lives, the power of having been gathered in by all good knowing advisors, the power of deep and pure faith, the power of great understanding, the power of tending toward the pure mind of Bodhi, and the power of great vows to seek All-Wisdom.
We only wish that the World Honored One will accord with us and all living beings with our various desires, various understandings, various wisdoms,various languages, various senses of self ease, various grounds of dwelling, various purities of faculties,various expedients of intentions, various states of minds, various reliances on the Thus Come One's merit and virtue, various hearings and receptions of the dharmas, and show us how the Thus Come One sought the mind of All-Wisdom in the past, how he brought forth the great vows of a Bodhisattva in the past, how he purified all the paramitas in the past, how he entered the grounds of Bodhisattvahood, how he perfected Bodhisattva conduct he perfected in the past, how he accomplished expedients he accomplished in the past, how he cultivated the different paths in the past, how he obtained the dharmas of liberation in the past, how he wrought all spiritual penetrations in the past, what the causes and conditions of his deeds in the past were, how he accomplished Equal, Proper Enlightenment and turned the wonderful Dharma Wheel, how he purified the Buddha countries and subdued living beings;how he opened up the city of the dharma of All-Wisdom, how he entered into the dwelling of all living beings, how he accepted what all living beings gave, how he explained for all living beings the merit and virtue of giving, how he reflected for all living beings the images of all Buddhas. We wish that you, the Buddha, would speak all of these dharmas for us.
At that time the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the Bodhisattvas' minds, used great compassion as his body, great compassion as his door, great compassion as his head, and the dharmas of great compassion as his skill-in-means. He completely pervaded empty space, and entered the Lion's Sprint Samadhi. Upon entering this samadhi, all worlds became universally adorned and purified. The great, adorned towering pavilion suddenly expanded in length and breadth until it was boundless.
Vajra made up its ground. Regal jewels covered it over, and measureless jeweled flowers and all mani were universally scattered within it, abundant and overflowing everywhere. Vaidurya served as its pillars, inlaid with multitudes of jewels and was adorned with great light mani jewels. It was studded over with jambunada gold, and as-you-will gem kings were spread on top as adornments. There were tall towers juxtaposed, with turrets and walkways branching out from all sides.
There were pillars and houses supporting each other, and inter-reflecting windows and doors. The courtyards, porches and railings, all were replete and resplendently ornamented with wonderful jewels. These jewels were in the shapes of human and gods, they were solid, firm and wonderfully fine, foremost in the world. Mani jeweled nets were draped on top of them.
At the doorways were erected banners and streamers, all emitting bright light, which pervaded the Dharma Realm. Outside of the Way-place were stairways, balustrades and railings, their number measureless. None of which could be described, and none that were not completely fashioned of mani.
At that time, due to the Buddha's spiritual powers, the Jeta Grove suddenly became vast, so that its measure was equal to Buddha lands, which were as numerous as the dustmotes in ineffable Buddha kshetras.
It was adorned and interspersed with wonderful gems of all kinds. Ineffable gems covered its earth, asamkhyeyas of jewels served as its walls, and jeweled tala trees adorned its pathways. In between were measureless fragrant streams, brimming with fragrant waters, rapidly flowing, ringed and whirling.
The jeweled flowers swirled to the right, and spontaneously proclaimed the sounds of the Buddha-dharma. Inconceivable jeweled pundarika flowers, emitted profuse fragrance, lacing the water's surface. Variegated jeweled trees in blossom were planted in rows along the shores.
All sorts of pavilions and arbors, all inconceivable, were also arranged in lines on these shores, and were covered over by mani-jeweled nets. Asamkhyeyas of jewels adorned the ground. Multitudes of wonderful incense were burning, pervading the atmosphere. Moreover, there were erected measureless jeweled banners of all kinds, such as jeweled fragrance banners; jeweled cloth banners; jeweled banners; jeweled silk banners; jeweled flower banners; jeweled beaded banners; jeweled garland banners; jeweled bell banners; great mani jeweled banners; bright and pervasively illuminating mani jeweled banners; emitting the sounds of all Thus Come Ones' titles mani king banners; lion mani king banners; speaking of all Thus Come Ones' sea-like former lives mani king banners; manifesting all the images of the Dharma Realm mani king banners. All of these pervaded the ten directions and were arranged in rows of adornments.
At that time within the Jeta Grove in empty spaces, there were inconceivable clouds of heavenly palaces; measureless tree clouds; ineffable Sumeru Mountain clouds; ineffable music clouds emitting fine and wonderful sounds in praise of the Thus Come One; ineffable jeweled lotus clouds; ineffable jeweled throne clouds arranged with heavenly garments upon which sat Bodhisattvas who praised the Buddha's merits and virtue. There were also ineffable mani clouds in the image of all the heavenly kings; ineffable clouds of white true pearls; ineffable clouds full of adorning pavilions of red pearls; ineffable solid pearl clouds raining down vajra, all of which hovered in empty space, circulating and filling it as adornments.
Why was it this way? Because the Thus Come One's good roots are inconceivable.
Because the Thus Come One's pure dharmas are inconceivable.
Because the Thus Come One's awesome strength is inconceivable. Because the Thus Come One's ability to transform and change his one body at ease and pervade all worlds is inconceivable. Because the Thus Come One's ability to use spiritual penetrations to cause all Buddhas and Buddha countries to become adorned and enter into his own body is inconceivable.
Because the Thus Come One's ability to within one single dustmote, universally manifest all the images of the Dharma Realm is inconceivable. Because the Thus Come One' ability within one single hairpore to manifest all Buddhas of the past is inconceivable.
Because the Thus Come One's ability to emit light at any time, and to have each light pervasively illumine all worlds is inconceivable. Because the Thus Come One's ability within a single hairpore to emit clouds of transformations, which are as many as the dustmotes in all Buddha kshetras and which fill up all Buddha-lands is inconceivable. Because the Thus Come One's ability within one single hairpore to universally manifest all the worlds of the ten directions, going through the kalpas of formation, dwelling and disintegration is inconceivable.
Just as in this Jeta Grove, in the Garden of the Benefactor of Orphans and the Solitary where one could see the Buddha-lands become purified and adorned, so too in the ten directions throughout the Dharma Realm, the realm of empty space, and all world realms, this could also be seen.
That is to say, seeing the Thus Come One's body dwelling in the Jeta Grove, which was completely pervaded by the multitudes of Bodhisattvas; seeing clouds that universally rained down all precious light and illumination; seeing clouds that universally rained down all mani gems; seeing clouds that universally rained down all adorned canopies that covered over the Buddha kshetras; seeing clouds that universally rained down all the bodies of heavenly gods; seeing clouds that universally rained down all flowers and trees; seeing clouds that universally rained down all trees of garments; seeing clouds that universally rained down all jeweled garlands and beads continuously without stop, and which pervaded all of the great earth; seeing clouds that universally rained down all sorts of adorned instruments; seeing clouds of all fragrance that universally rained down in the shape of living beings; seeing clouds that universally rained down all subtle and wonderful jeweled flower nets continuously without cease; seeing clouds that universally rained down all heavenly maidens, who, holding up jeweled banners and streamers, floated about within empty space; seeing clouds that universally rained down all the multitudes of jeweled lotus flowers, the petals of which naturally gave forth all sorts of musical sounds; seeing clouds that universally rained down all lion thrones adorned with jeweled nets and necklaces.
At that time in the east, beyond seas of worlds as numerous as dustmotes in ineffable Buddha kshetras, was another world called Golden Lamp Cloud Banner. The Buddha's title was Vairochana Supreme Virtuous King.
Within that Buddha's assembly was a Bodhisattva called Vairochana's Vow Light, who together with Bodhisattvas as numerous as dustmotes in ineffable Buddha kshetras, came to the Buddha's place. Using their spiritual powers, they conjured up all sorts of clouds. That is to say, heavenly flower clouds, heavenly fragrance clouds, heavenly powdered incense clouds, heavenly garland clouds, heavenly jeweled clouds, heavenly adorned objects clouds, heavenly jeweled canopy clouds, heavenly subtle and wonderful garment clouds, heavenly jeweled banner and streamer clouds, and heavenly clouds of all wonderful jeweled adornments, which filled up all of empty space. After coming to the Buddha's place, he bowed at the Buddha's feet, and thereupon to the east transformationally created a jeweled adorned towering pavilion and a jeweled lotus treasury lion throne that universally illumined the ten directions. With an as-you-will jeweled net that covered his body, and together with his retinue, he sat in full lotus.
In the south, beyond seas of worlds as numerous as dustmotes in ineffable Buddha kshetras, was another world called Vajra Treasury. The Buddha's title was Universal Light Unsurpassed Treasury King. Within that Buddha's assembly was a Bodhisattva called Indestructible Vajra King, who together with Bodhisattvas as numerous as the dustmotes in ineffable Buddha kshetras, came to the Buddha's place. They were holding all sorts of jeweled fragrance nets, holding all sorts of jeweled necklaces, holding all sorts of jeweled flower ribbons, holding all sorts of jeweled garland ribbons, holding all sorts of vajra necklaces, holding all sorts of mani jeweled nets, holding all sorts of jeweled garment ribbons, holding all sorts of most supreme brightness mani ribbons, holding all sorts of lion mani jeweled necklaces. Using their spiritual powers, they pervaded all the seas of worlds. After coming to the Buddha's place, he bowed to the Buddha's feet, and thereupon to the south transformationally created a towering pavilion adorned with mani jewels and a jeweled lotus flower treasury Lion's Throne that universally illumined the ten directions. With a many-flowered jeweled net covering his body, and together with his retinue, he sat in full lotus.

The 16th weekend of the season started on a very positive note with a solid win over a good Wilkes-Barre/Scranton team on Friday, then crashed and burned in a hideous loss in Springfield on Saturday, followed by another defeat in a rematch with Wilkes at home on Sunday. Here's my take on the good, the bad and the ugly.
*** Alex Khokhlachev scored a pretty goal on Friday night. He also recorded an assist, seven shots and was plus-three.
*** After scoring 11 goals in 71 games as a rookie, Justin Florek already has 10 goals this year.
*** Bobby Robins has 5 goals in 34 games this season. He scored 4 in 74 games last season.
*** With 4-24-28 in 41 games, Joe Morrow is seventh in scoring among AHL defensemen.
*** Zach Trotman, whose plus-13 is the best on the team, was recalled to Boston for the second time this season.
*** After languishing at or near the bottom for much of the season, the penalty kill is up to 21st in the AHL.
*** Matt Lindblad returned after missing a month with a groin injury.
*** Carter Camper broke a bone in his toe during Sunday's game. Team's top scorer is expected to miss a month.
*** The P-Bruins are 1-4 in their last 5 games.
*** By the end of the day on Sunday, Providence had slipped to seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
*** Rough numbers this weekend: Minus-threes for Matt Fraser on Saturday and Tommy Cross on Sunday.
*** Jeff Jakaitis gave up five goals on 32 shots on Sunday in his Providence debut.
*** Craig Cunningham's ill-timed boarding penalty in the third period on Saturday in Springfield. The Falcons tied the game on the PP, then tallied the winning goal 30 seconds later.
*** After leading by two at the start of the third period, the P-Bruins gave up four straight goals in Saturday night's 5-3 loss in Springfield. It doesn't get much uglier.
*** Providence gave up 19 shots and dug themselves a 0-3 hole in the first period on Sunday.

Taking place thirty one years prior to Halo 4 in the year 2526, Lasky is a freshman cadet in Hastati Squad at the Corbulo Academy of Military Science on Circinius IV. He is struggling to live up to the reputations of his mother and brother, while having no particular love for the way the United Nations Space Command is handling the Insurrection. Most of his fellow cadets look down upon him due to his sympathetic views to the Insurrection, although he finds friendship with fellow cadet Chyler Silva.When the Covenant attack Corbulo Academy, Lasky is thrust into a new war and works with his fellow cadets and military instructors to survive against their unknown enemy, and meets the Master Chief during the battle, an event that changes his life forever.The series was released on YouTube in five separate parts starting on October 5th, 2012. Six short promotional pieces that expanded on the background of the characters and universe were released in the weeks leading up to the premier. An extended cut was included with the Limited Edition of Halo 4, which was later released on DVD and Blu-ray.

The Best Paint Colors for Your Style
Whether you want a shade that's sexy, outrageous, or calming, our new bookazine is the ultimate paint guide. Here's a sneak peak of just a few of the hundreds of swatches that designers review in House Beautiful's 500+ Favorite Paint Colors.
By Multiple Authors
The Ultimate Paint Guide
A Color for Blondes
"In the interest of full disclosure, I'd have to admit that I love pink rooms because, in my innermost soul, I'm still brunette. Remember 'blue is for blondes and pink is for brunettes'? On the other hand, Diva, my naturally blonde Norfolk terrier, looks wicked in pink." Carol Prisant
Color: Hibiscus GH133 from Ralph Lauren Paint.
A Sexy Color
"Black is dramatic and daring. It has that forbidden quality, which is irresistible. I think of sexy black negligees and fast black cars. A room painted black is a place where you can tell secrets. The semigloss finish gives it an edge, like patent leather, and makes everything pop. You have to be very confident to use black, and that kind of confidence is very attractive." Nancy Boszhardt
Color: Black Satin 2131-10 from Benjamin Moore.
A Beautiful Backdrop Color
"The first words out of my client's mouth were 'I love the color purple.' Such an exotic, unusual place to start! She loves Pucci, painted furniture, and parties. This purple is a beautiful backdrop. Any flowers look great against it-- and so do people." -Hal Williamson
Color:Sea Froth 2107-60 from Benjamin Moore.
A Color to Make You Look Younger
"You never think you could get away with a color this strong, but here's how. Don't paint the entire room pink just one wall. This is a gorgeous peony pink, with a bit of raspberry in it. That undertone is what keeps it from looking sickeningly sweet. It's a happy, cheerful color that makes everyone look younger. Even the house!" Suzanne Kasler
Color: Checkerberry 32RR 50/260 from Glidden.
A Cozy Color
"Red is not a color for sissies, but you can't go wrong with this good orangey red that reminds me of carved cinnabar boxes from China. It's warm and cheerful with chintz. Or add a coat of gloss for a lacquered effect and the room will feel like a glamorous jewel box. Go out and buy two buckets of red and change your world in a weekend." Todd Alexander Romano

A Color for Brunettes
"Who said blondes have more fun? Don't believe it. We brunettes are so much more versatile. We can swing with any color, like this lavender. It's neither old-fashioned nor too crisp. Totally relaxing to live with. I use it as a neutral, with brown mohair, white duck, dark plum linen. Mahogany furniture looks great in these rooms, and so do we." —Whitney Stewart
Color: Providence C2-6264 from C2 Paint. See more paint colors for brunettes.

Color: Razzle Dazzle 1348 from Benjamin Moore
The Best Bedroom Color
"What you want is anything that makes a woman look more beautiful. Lavender is very pretty with blue-and-white fabric. Just don't tell you husband it's lavender."-Mario Buatta
Color: Misty Lilac 2071-70 from Benjamin Moore.
The Best Color for Small Spaces
"Dark brown creates drama and an illusion of more space in what would otherwise have been a dull, cramped area. You do not make every room in arouse wildly colored -- you try to create rhythm of color. I want to walk from a room that's neutral into one with punch. Or from a dark hallway into a light living room."-Ned Marshall
Color:Bittersweet Chocolate from Benjamin Moore.

Castillo, the on-duty manager, told the other employees they were being robbed and gave Reed some cash, who took off in Castillo's car, investigators said.
Reed and Castillo are both charged with robbery and criminal conspiracy to commit robbery.

Vice-Chancellor Dr David Grant has joined staff and students from across the University in making a Sustainability Week Pledge.
Dr Grant is among the first to make a pledge, supporting the University-wide sustainability agenda by promising a new award - the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for Sustainability.
Dr Grant said: "The University wholly supports Sustainability Week and the activities and events taking place this year, which is why I have pledged to award a Prize for Sustainability during the annual Sustainability Week.
"Sustainable development is an agenda we are wholly committed to as a University and consequently I am keen to see Sustainability Week grow year after year. I hope this Prize will encourage even more people to support the University in becoming more sustainable. I will be watching with interest what pledges and ideas will come to be posted to the website throughout the week to help the University become more sustainable."
The Vice-Chancellor's Prize will be awarded to those members of the University who demonstrate the best improvement in sustainability practice. It will be awarded for the first time during Sustainability Week 2010 and become an annual Prize.
Sustainability Week has also being used as a platform to launch a special Cardiff University Innovation Network Sustainability Award. This is the first time Cardiff University Innovation Network will include a Sustainability Award in its annual award ceremony which takes place in Spring 2010. This new Award will provide an opportunity to recognise the outstanding work being done, through collaboration between business and Cardiff University, in the field of sustainability in Wales.
Staff and students still have time to post a Sustainability Week Pledge by logging onto the Sustainability Week web pages.
There are a number of other ways to get involved with Sustainability Week including Your Sustainable Idea initiative and the Detox Box. There is also the chance to go online and test your knowledge of sustainability-related issues; read about what other members of staff are doing across the University to support the sustainable development agenda; and attend one of the events taking place throughout the week.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A teen accidentally shot himself in the leg on Monday, just blocks away from the scene of a drive-by shooting overnight that sent two men to the hospital, according to the Knoxville Police Dept.
The teenager, who was not identified, was carrying the gun in his pocket and playing with it when it 'just went off,'
The shooting happened around noon near Montgomery Village in the 4700 block of Joe Louis Road.
Just hours earlier, Jared Riddle and Tiberius Norries were shot in a drive-by shooting about four blocks away. They were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Police are still searching for the shooter.

File this one under understatement of the year:
Responding to criticism from lawmakers and other officials, Transportation Secretary Jeffrey B. Mullan said he should have consulted with the governor's office and gone public earlier. Instead, the Department of Transportation did not inform Governor Deval Patrick until Tuesday, after inspectors had already discovered corrosion affecting a few hundred of the 23,000 lights that illuminate the O'Neill and other Big Dig tunnels.
Ah…yeah. Where to start?
First of all, public safety should be the top concern for the DOT. There is absolutely no reason – none – to withhold information from the public that forces them to blindly accept what may amount to a lethal risk. I sympathize with the desire not to start a panic – but, honestly, the worst thing that would happen would be a lot of people would suddenly take alternate routes (and that would be plenty bad enough).
Secondly, this issue with corrosion is unacceptable. "A few hundred" light fixtures showing corrosion is not a simple problem. It is a systematic problem, either with engineering, manufacturing, or with the actual installation/maintenance of the lights (I'm leaning towards the latter). Corrosion doesn't just happen. It takes exactly the right conditions and materials to be present.
Third, this is pretty poor reporting. Tucked away at the very end is this bit of vital information:
The state on Wednesday sent a letter to the company detailing what it called "two serious problems with your tunnel lighting" fixtures – the loss of paint that has exposed the aluminum to the elements, and the specific corrosion where the aluminum comes in contact with the steel clips.
Here's a clue to any amateur chemist: "where aluminum comes in contact with the steel clips." That almost screams galvanic corrosion. Basically, you take two dissimilar metals, immerse them in an electrolyte, and electrons flow from one metal to the other – which results in the physical destruction of the "sacrificial" metal one atom at a time (in this case, the aluminum clips, in contact with steel braces, coated with moisture and salts/oil from the road). In this case, that means that the aluminum will simply disappear.
This points heavily to a failure of maintenance. I can't believe that a single light-bulb has not been replaced. Part of replacing those bulbs should be a spot inspection for pitting – the hallmark of galvanic corrosion. Failure to do so constitutes, in my mind, a total failure of responsibility to the public to maintain a safe environment.
The failure is from the top of the heap down to the deckplate level. It may not rise to the level of criminality, but it certainly constitutes dereliction of duty. This is not an accident from out of nowhere, it is a foreseeable and preventable incident.

Epoxyn Products in Mountain Home to Expand, Add 50 Jobs
Posted 12/17/2013 01:31 pm
Epoxyn Products, a Hamilton Scientific company that makes specialized table- and counter-tops and other surfaces for laboratories, said Tuesday that it will expand its manufacturing facility in Mountain Home, creating 50 jobs.
"Epoxyn's success is Mountain Home's success," said Gov. Mike Beebe, who attended the company's announcement in Mountain Home. "An Arkansas-based company with a good product, combined with a good local workforce, often results in the creation of more jobs and more investment.
"That's what we're seeing in Baxter County, and hope to see more of throughout Arkansas' manufacturing centers," he said.
Epoxyn said it will invest $5 million in the expansion so it can serve customers around the world.
Epoxyn Products is part of Hamilton Scientific, a 132-year-old laboratory furniture and equipment supplier headquartered in De Pere, Wis. Epoxyn offers both epoxy and phenolic resin, two common laboratory work surface materials. Epoxyn's products include chemical-resistant, laboratory-grade epoxy work surfaces, sinks, balance tables, pegboards, fume hood tops and other components.
Officials said people interested in working at Epoxyn Products can contact the Arkansas Workforce Center in Mountain Home at (870) 425-2386.

Youth Ministry - Emphasis
Does your heart beat to reach the youth of this generation in the name of Christ?
Then perhaps pursuing a degree program at Northern Seminary with a Youth Ministry emphasis is for you.
Northern understands that individuals preparing for Youth Ministry leadership in today's society are faced with unique challenges varying from developing culturally-relevant youth ministries to understanding the spiritual formation of youth in the contemporary context.
That's why Northern offers a Youth Ministry emphasis designed to fit the specific interests and needs of individuals interested in exploring a call to Youth Ministry.
The specialized courses designed for this emphasis will prepare students for leadership that is:
Biblical. [Grounded in Scripture]
Combined with a comprehensive academic degree program that provides a solid foundation in the study of scripture, church history, theology and ethics, specialized Youth Ministry courses challenge the student to engage in and reflect on the core issues encountered in ministry to adolescents from a biblical perspective.
Missional. [Sharing Christ in Context]
Northern Seminary provides students with unique ways to learn how to share Christ in context. Through a variety of experiential learning or "field research" opportunities —which could include anything from diving into the youth subculture at a Christian music festival to engaging in supervised ministry as a youth leader at a local church—students receive practical, culturally-relevant ministry training that will equip them for service in the field.
Personal. [Holistic, Relational Ministry]
Individuals pursuing the Youth Ministry emphasis benefit from Northern's commitment to personal, holistic ministry training. From the availability of professors to engage in discussion and guide students in discerning their call, to the opportunity to connect with Youth Ministry practitioners already serving in the field, students experience a community that partners with them in their journey toward effective Youth Ministry.
Is this program for me?
The Youth Ministry emphasis is for:
- Anyone interested in Christian ministry focused on youth
- Individuals who want to learn more about the unique issues encountered in ministry to adolescents in the contemporary context
- Pastors or church leaders who want to gain specialized skill for youth ministry
What are the requirements of the Youth Ministry Emphasis?
The Youth Ministry Emphasis can be acquired by completing a combination of any five Youth Ministry electives as part of any of the following programs
- Master of Divinity
- Master of Arts in Christian Ministry
- Master's Specialization
- Diploma of Ministry
- Diploma Specialization
Examples of Youth Ministry Electives include:

Meat Prices At All-Time High
BUTLER TOWNSHIP -- Local meat prices are hitting an all time high, and with Memorial Day just around the corner, it could affect your barbecue plans.
"I would like one filet," said Angela Newland, customer and Brunk's Meat Shop.
Be prepared to dish out more for your burgers and steaks this holiday weekend.
"In the past 3 or 4 months, beef prices are up at least 10%," said Jack Brunk, Owner of Brunk's Meat Shop in Butler Township.
Last year you paid $3.78 for a pound of ground chuck, this year, you'll pay 20 cents more.
"That's a lot," said Newland, "especially for middle class people that's having a hard time making ends meet, gotta find other ways to feed their kids."
Ground chuck is a whopping $3.98 a pound.
And for Brunk, it's the highest price he's seen in his 42 years in business.
"Prices in general on just about everything are up," said Brunk.
That's right bacon lovers, bad news for you too.
The price of your beloved breakfast meat is also at an all time high.
"They had a disease running, killing a lot of the smaller hogs and pigs and that fed into the price of pork," said Brunk.
As for the price of beef, it's due to the drought happening across the nation, and ranchers selling off their herds when prices were low.
But even as the price of beef goes up, it's not going to ruin Newland's holiday weekend.
"I'll probably still get hamburgers, but less. Maybe more hotdogs or chicken maybe," said Newland.
Mr. Brunk believes the price of beef is at its peak and over the next few months should start to go down.
But as for this weekend, you can expect to pay around $4 a pound for hamburger meat.

How's it going out there?
I had a rejuvenating weekend here in Dallas. We had temperatures in the 70's and I got that feeling that spring is coming! It made me want to clean the house and shop, but then I remembered it was January and I did neither of those things.
I had a girls date night with my friend Liz on Friday and we tried a new-to-me restaurant called La Duni. It's a Latin cafe and the prices are so reasonable for the quality of the food. We had mojitos and malbec, and then I had this wonderful mahi entree with fried plantains and garlic rice
We met Matt for beers afterwards and ending up staying up too late talking! It was my favorite kind of night.
Matt and I did bootcamp at the gym on Saturday morning and then took a stroll to enjoy the weather and look in some stores. I made the mistake of wearing flip flops and got blisters because I haven't worn them in months:( We stayed in and cooked for friends on Saturday night – they have a one-year-old, so it's easier to cook at their house and I made apple pork chops, sweet potatoes, and brussels. It was nice to have a low key evening and it didn't feel like staying in since we weren't at home.
Sunday was a funday of sorts because we celebrated our friends' engagement with brunch at Sangria. We sat on the patio for two hours drinking bloody marys and catching up with the group. I ordered breakfast tacos with egg and chorizo – they were enjoyable enough, but not anything special. I had dish envy for Matt's spicy hash.
The weekend ended with bbq salmon and Golden Globe watching with friends who live in our building.
It was lovely to spend so much time catching up with different friend groups this weekend! I neglected the apartment a bit, so I need to do some cleaning and get myself organized again. Hope yall had a good one.

The weather was so nice in Dallas this weekend! We definitely enjoyed it and it looks like you did too!
This Canadian girl is VERY jealous of your flip flops! I am a good 4 months away from even considering sandals.

NCUF Innovation Grant Will Expand America's Credit Union Museum Program
A $25,000 Innovation Grant from the
National Credit Union Foundation
(NCUF) will expand the financial education program provided by
America's Credit Union Museum
in Manchester, New Hampshire.
"The popularity of the program has created widespread demand among credit unions and educators alike, both inside and outside of New Hampshire," reported the Museum's Executive Director Peggy Powell.
Branded as CU 4 Reality™, the program fosters partnerships between credit unions and middle schools to educate young people to live fiscally responsible lives.
The curriculum is taught over two years, combining basic components of career development as well as financial education.
CU 4 Reality™ is designed to benefit students, credit unions, and educators:
Guide students with career selection to assure that their desired lifestyles can be supported by their career choices;
Teach students basic financial literacy before entering the workforce;
Provide credit unions opportunities to offer financial literacy support in partnership with educators;
Give educators a ready-to-use curriculum that is easily adaptable for various classroom settings.
Classwork is combined with hands-on learning experiences, culminating in an interactive CU 4 Reality™ Financial Education Fair.
"Growth of the CU 4 Reality™ program will help position credit unions as innovators and leaders in financial literacy education and community service," Powell concluded.
"It will also foster a familiarity with credit unions among our youth, an important emerging market for all credit unions."
Sixth of 14 NCUF Innovation Grants
This is the sixth of 14 Innovation Grants to be approved by NCUF in 2008. These grants are made possible by investments in the
Community Investment Fund
During the 2008
Innovation Grants application
cycle, NCUF received 41 applications requesting over $2.2 million in funding. This was nearly four times the $600,000 budgeted for Innovation Grants through the CIF.
"Grant requests were much higher this year because the needs are much greater," relates NCUF Deputy Director Steve Bosack, the Foundation's staff liaison to the NCUF Grants Committee. "More credit unions are seeking innovative ways to serve people with low wealth and modest means."
"More credit unions than ever are investing in the Community Investment Fund," points out NCUF Executive Director Steve Delfin. "Yet here's the paradox: even though CIF balances reached an all-time high, the fund has returned a much lower percentage of grant dollars in 2008. This is due to federal interest rate cuts from January through September. So especially during these challenging economic times, we thank all 650-plus
CIF investors
, the NCUF Board and Grants Committee for allowing us to maintain our $600,000 in Innovation Grant commitments and reward credit unions serving low-wealth households."

A Bit About Us and How We Got Started
The frequent faces in the shop are those of Ellen Anderson, Jeri Robinson-Lawrence, and Irina Lawrence. These woman are extremely passionate about the fiber arts and are regularly willing to share their knowledge and expertise with whomever desires. Ellen has been teaching spinning and drop spindling throughout the community for more than ten years. Chances are if you learned to spin in public it was Ellen who taught you. Her commitment to keeping this age old craft alive is boundless. Jeri also teaches art and design at Millersville University which is why you don't see her in the shop often. Together, the two are leaders of the Red Rose 4-H Fiber Artists Club wherein they teach 8-18 year olds various fiber arts processes. Irina is the President of the Club and she also enjoys sharing her skills. Her talents in knittng and spinning have earned her many accolades throughout the mid-atlantic region.
Jeri Robinson-Lawrence, Flying Fibers owner, began knitting at the age of 10 however she put it aside until the age of 30 when she visited her husband's family in England. Her in-laws took her to an agricultural fair and she was in awe of people shearing sheep, knitting with roving (forget about the yarn), spinning, and weaving. In the mid-90's she visited Yorkshire, England with the family and the sheep and wool bug bit even deeper. It was there that she fell in love with the wool from the Wensleydale Longwool sheep. It took some time but Jeri now has a flock of these magnificent creatures. She simply adores these sheep and the gifts that they provide her for her fiber arts activities. Jeri is presently on the Board of Directors of the North American Wensleydale Sheep Association and is an active ambassador for the breed. If you are interested in following the exploits of Jeri's sheep you can follow them at www.facebook.com/flyingfibersflock
Irina Lawrence, Jeri's daughter, grew up being dragged to fiber festivals and lectures on rare breed sheep and genetic diversity. She learned to knit at the age of 6, and got her first spinning wheel at the age of 9. Her real commitment and passion for the fiber arts began when she was 13 and since then she hasn't stopped knitting, spinning, dyeing, weaving, and crocheting. She regularly works in the shop with her Mom and hopes to one day take over the business. Irina raises Satin Angora Rabbits, and was gifted a breeding pair of rare, heritage Leicester Longwool Sheep and is now a junior board member for the Leicester Longwool Sheep Breeders Association. You can learn more about Irina's animals at Wandering Hare Fibers.
Ellen Anderson, shop manager, is a long time shepherdess and spinner who is often referred to as "the bunny lady" for her public demonstrations on spinning angora fiber directly from the rabbit in her lap. Ellen enjoys spinning primarily but also enjoys a wide variety of the fiber arts. Ellen's fiber animals include Leicester Longwool Sheep, Icelandic Sheep, Angora Goats, and Angora Rabbits. Leicester Longwool Sheep, Icelandic Sheep, Angora Goats, and Angora Rabbits. You can follow Ellen's farm at http://www.aboundingfulfarm.webs.com/
Special Event!
Book Signing With Vicki Twigg
Flying Fibers is delighted to welcome Vicki Twigg, creator of the "Twigg Stitch" to our shop on for a book signing of her new book "Twigg Stitch: A New Twist on Reversible Knitting" Published by Interweave Knits.
Readers will discover a new type of color knitting that produces a fully reversible fabric with mirrored or completely different sides. Worked by knitting two yarns at the same time, Twigg stitch allows the knitter to create two completely different fabrics. Not only can the knitter create simple reversible color work, but also different cable patterns or even lace that is a different color on each side. Ten patterns round out the book, from simple hats and mitts, demonstrating the stitch in its most basic form, to a shaped lace shawl. Unique and fascinating as the technique is, it's not difficult to master. Anyone with basic knitting skills can quickly learn. Vicki is scheduled to teach a class on this technique here at Flying Fibers on November 15th & November 22nd.
Book Signing Dates and Times: Wednesday November 12th from 6pm to 8pm & November 15th and 22nd for 1 hour prior to her classes.
Book are currently in stock at Flying Fibers

Dear Slabber, I come up to my page's 2nd anniversary -- you see, I shall always have The Slab to shelter my youth -- this weekend, with delight to see this posting of an ingenious cropping of a universally welcomed vision ("image" is a bit faint, for its worth), which was the foundation of my small series, "My favourite clothespin." What an instant name it gave itself. Thanks for years of inspiration and leadership in vigorous blogwriting. LaurentReplyDelete
Laurent, you are very kind and generous. Thank you very much for your kind words! And congratulations on two years.ReplyDelete

Nothing was wrong with the hotel. It was amazing. Priceline was not correct. When checking out from the hotel I was told that PRICELINE did not charge my card- My friend had to put the balance of the hotel on his card as I did not have my credit card with me. This was a major inconvenience as PRICELINE stated that they would be charging the card I had on file for the full amount, which I was relying on. This was VERY embarrassing. ...

The hotel was lovely and old. If you're looking for a modern hotel with large bathrooms, this isn't the place for you. Its historic and charming. Our room was small and the bathroom was tiny. The bed and linens were amazing. Our room was quiet. The location was terrific. We walked to a basketball game at the Pepsi Center. We were surrounded by restaurants and bars. This was a positive experience and we would stay again. ...

A Clash For Championship Glory.
When Edge and Chris Jericho teamed up last year to win the Unified Tag Team Championships, I was overjoyed. I loved the angle and I loved the pairing; these two shared chemistry that was unbeatable. Unfortunately Edge sustained an injury and Chris Jericho was forced to find a new partner (hence the birth of JeriShow). While I still love JeriShow (despite them going their separate ways), I'm sure I would have loved the Edge-Jericho tag-team way better. Edge won the Royal Rumble, Chris Jericho won the championship off The Undertaker, and here they are at WrestleMania 26 in a battle for one of the most coveted prizes in wrestling history. I'm definitely going with Chris Jericho on this one. Make no mistake, I am a huge fan of the Rated [R] Superstar, and I would have rooted for him if he had remained a heel. I just cant seem to take the new Edge as seriously as I did when he was smashing Ric Flair's head between a steel chair and some concrete. However, this match has a lot to offer and I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it anyway. Both these guys are great performers and wrestlers; definitely something to look forward to. And most likely, this isn't the end of the Jericho / Edge feud. Download and decorate your screens with this new WrestleMania 26 wallpaper featuring The Ultimate Opportunist, Edge vs the self-proclaimed Best In The World, Chris Jericho!
PS : Many thank-yous for the great response and feedback I received for the previous WM26 wallpapers (John Cena vs Batista & 'Taker vs Shawn Michaels); much appreciated! :) Keep checking back for more WrestleMania 26 wallpapers, all!
