How to Take an Offering
At a recent meeting with our campus pastors, I offered thirteen considerations related to church giving and finances. One of our deacons was kind enough to take notes, and so here they are.
1) Times are tough.
It's taken awhile, but the poor economy is affecting our main base of operations in Seattle. I've spoken with a number of churches over the past few months—locally and nationally—and all have reduced budget by about 25 to 40 percent. The budget is tight at Mars Hill, but God continues to provide all that we need. It's important to maintain this perspective.
2) Our theology hurts.
Mars Hill members generally get married young, have lots of kids, and live off of one income so mom can stay home. This is a direct application of key biblical principles that we teach regularly: husbands are to lead their home as Christ leads the church; children are a gift from God; and men must provide for their household. We will continue to preach the Bible—even if it means our people have less income to give.
3) The bottom line is not the bottom line.
Number of givers matters more than total given. As you check the giving report each week, don't place so much emphasis on the bottom line. If you're making budget on the backs of a few super-generous givers, when they lose their job, leave the church, or stop giving for whatever reason, you're sunk. On the other hand, if a lot of people are giving faithfully, that probably means a lot of people are following Jesus, which is more important than making budget.
4) Don't be timid.
I struggled with "the ask" for a long time. I knew people were suspicious of pastors asking for money, and I didn't want to be that guy. But the truth is, we're calling people to a lifestyle of worship—not a cause or a corporation or a minimal standard of token contribution. Yeah, there will be the cynics who roll their eyes or fold their arms when the basket comes their way, but anticipate the objections ahead of time and address them head on. Don't wing it. Be prepared. Look people in the eye. Be courageous.
5) Disrupt the service order.
Just like a morning commute you've driven a thousand times, Sunday services too often coast on autopilot. Unless you change the route from time to time, a lot of people are going to zone out. Disrupt them. Take the offering before the sermon sometimes, and use it as a time to cast vision and share stories of God's grace and generosity. Take the offering after the sermon sometimes, especially if the topic relates to obedience and giving. Be flexible. Mix it up.
6) Tell stories.
Guys who can't tell stories can't lead. People respond to stories on a heart level. And as Jesus says, where the heart is the wallet will follow (Matt. 6:21). Stories show the mission of the church. When people share their testimony, the connection is natural: that's why we're here; that's why we give. But encourage testimonies—not biographies. Biography is a personal history where the gist is often, "Life was bad and now it is good." Testimony is a story where Jesus is the hero, a story that reveals a personal encounter with Jesus as the basis of heart-level transformation.
7) Be generous.
If you're not a generous church, you can't expect your people to follow where you fail to go. At Mars Hill, we give away roughly $1.5 million each year to church planting, we give away books to newcomers and soldiers overseas, we've sent more than $650,000 to Haiti, we give away $200,000 to mercy projects through MicroMissions via our Community Groups, we give away all of our content online, and we provide all kinds of free counseling, training, and resources. We hope to set a good example, but we give generously because God's has been generous to us, and we are grateful (2 Cor. 9:6–15).
8) The stewardship drip.
Rather than a few big asks a few times a year, take a moment to talk about stewardship every week. Don't operate out of your own authority. Connect the offering to the Bible, and teach about it briefly and often. This constant reminder provides more opportunities for the Holy Spirit to move and convict.
9) Let it be awkward.
Before you take the offering, invite people to consider what a generous gift would be and prepare their contribution. Explain stewardship from the Bible (see #8) and leave them to deal with God: the offering is their opportunity to decide whether or not they're going to obey him. Then wait. In the awkward silence that follows, pray for the Holy Spirit to move. At our church, most of our faithful givers give by automatic deduction or online during the week. Thank them and invite them to pray as well, for the church and for those who have yet to learn good stewardship and generous giving.
10) Make membership personal.
In the past, Mars Hill pastors taught our membership class in person. Today, people have the option of completing the material online, but we will likely eliminate this as an option. A relational membership process gives people the opportunity to ask questions, see the inner-workings of the church, and build trust—all helpful in making disciples of Jesus who are committed to his mission with their whole hearts.
11) Use pulpit time wisely.
On days when our campuses have live preaching rather than video, it's a great opportunity to be flexible, tell a lot of stories, and address family business. Put some of the principles from this article into practice and pursue the heart of your people.
12) Organize campaigns.
People give to visible needs. The response to Haiti was incredible. And recently, when I gave away a few hundred copies of my new book, some people came forward—unsolicited—and offered to help pay for the freebies. Our plan is to run at least two giving campaigns per year (in June and December, to finish strong at the end of both our fiscal and calendar years) and tie them into the big vision of the church. The purpose is more than making budget. It's a chance to explain the mission and get people excited about being a healthy church—one that gives generously, preaches the Bible faithfully, loves Jesus, and wants to see more people meet him.
13) It's not getting any easier.
Giving will always be a difficult issue at Mars Hill Church. In fact, I pray that it's always difficult. If 100 percent of our attendance is faithful givers, that means we're no longer reaching non-Christians and nobody's meeting Jesus. As long as new believers and non-believers are at Mars Hill Church, our budget will suffer. We're talking about spiritual health and maturity, which doesn't happen overnight. Expect financial frustration. We can lament, complain, or spiritualize the matter—or we can deal with it. It is what it is. Run lean, and run hard. The church is growing and people are coming to Jesus. By the grace of God we will have exactly what we need and likely nothing more. For more on giving, stewardship, and money, see Doctrine, chapter 12.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Ngoie, Jacques Kibambe firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-09242009-231908 Document Title A disaggregated Marshallian macroeconometric model of South Africa Degree PhD Department Economics Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof R van Eyden Co-Supervisor Prof C B du Toit Supervisor Keywords
- strengthening production activities
- rising public expenditures
- human capital in sectoral growth
- forecasting ability and policy guidance
Date 2009-09-01 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe thesis enticingly describes a synergetic mix of productivity related topics at macroeconomic level. It aims at whetting potential readers to understand in more insightful ways topics such as: (1) the use of human capital in sectoral growth; (2) the role played by rising public expenditures (health and education) in strengthening production activities; (3) the role played by disaggregation in improving models' forecasting ability and policy guidance; etc. The current research constitutes a valuable tool for understanding and predicting a country's overall economic behavior and the behavior of important industrial sectors.
In the present study, lack of data on important variables at sectoral level led to the use of advanced econometric estimation methods such as the implied transfer function equations system. As cited in the thesis, the literature reports a set of interesting economic investigations in this field that have been successful in describing some of the features included in this study. However, this research not only enhances the theoretical discussion on the issue but also provides empirical evidence using South African data. It is anticipated that further use and development of the outcomes of this thesis will yield additional explanatory, predictive and policy-making results that will be useful to many. In addition to the usefulness of this thesis' contribution to the body of knowledge, several suggestions for further improvement are considered.
Most predominantly, the work presented in this thesis has been reported in two interrelated papers (chapters). In the first paper, a methodical discussion is provided on the use and the size of social ingredients estimated as the level of normalized human capital per capita together with the conditional convergence process applied to South African sectoral growth. In the second paper, the parameters obtained are embodied into a full-fledged Macroeconometric (Marshallian) Model employing South African economic sectors. In fact, the second paper goes beyond the simple discussion of a Disaggregated Macroeconometric Model. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects that freedom (Thatcher-like) reforms may induce to the South African economy.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

"I love my letterhead, cards, and envelope collection. My invoices look very professional with my letterhead and envelopes, and having business cards readily available is the life blood of my business. Next time when I replenish my box of cards, I want to order the gold foil. " Owner of Solarhostess.com
Personal Letterhead
Even with today's reliance on email, there are many people who still send out letters on a personal letterhead. A personal letterhead is much more familiar and intimate than sending out notes and statements in an impersonal email or even on blank stationery. If you are writing a letter to an old friend or even conducting business, having it on a personal letterhead lets the other person know that the letter is coming directly from you. It is a way to make the other person feel like they are communicating with a real person.
A personal letterhead can be found in many different designs. It all depends on your personal taste and how you want yourself to be perceived by others. You can have an elegant, business-like personal letterhead or even a wacky, fun-loving one. The design also depends on what the letterhead is used for. If it is used for personal notes to friends and family, a warm and open design would be better. If you run your own business and need a personal letterhead for that, then a more professional appearance might be in order. The trick with a personal letterhead is to choose one that fits who you are as a person and to make others feel appreciated when they get that personal touch.

Howdy BowieAL, first of all thank you for your service. Under previous governments Canada was near-criminally negligent in funding our military and irresponsibly living off the avails of a responsible neighbour (all the while attacking your military spending).
Just wanted to ask how you hyperlink on this site. I've used the text format, but that doesn't seem to do it on here.
Hi Bowie AL good job on gas buddy.
How about being buddies with a fellow Bowie member.
How can you post Sam's club as Non-Member price.
They don't take Cash, so you have to use a Sam's Club card or a wal-Mart Credit card to purchase gas here for $3.62 !!!
So if I don't have a Sam Club Card or a wal -Mart Credit Card I can't get gas for $3.62
So FYI you have to be a Member !!!!
P.S how is Bowie, I grew up there in the 70's when it use to be nice ~
Since Robby Gordon shut down his Sprint Cup operation, the only one I can think of is Joe Nemechek. Unfortunately, he starts and parks most of the time due to lack of funds.

Klipsch HD Theater 500 review
The popularity of this type of compact speaker package has mostly been driven by the switch from CRTs to flatscreen TVs. For, while the case for flatscreen TVs is overwhelming on most counts, sound quality has suffered because even large flatpanels don't lend themselves to good acoustic design.

Many families come here with children. This is a perfect place for kids. Full of adventure and natural beauty, it is a place of wonder. It is not a dangerous place at all but here all is natural. There are no fences or gates to prevent you from walking everywhere, up mountains, in the river, in the Jungle, so always keep an eye on the kids. That way all can be enjoyed in safety.
Before you get here try to let us know what you would like us to arrange for you. Sometimes we get busy and some of the tours are booked. So let us know!
This trip can be done without a guide, however it is a good idea to hire a guide to take you through the trail as there is so much to learn about the Cloud Forest you will be hiking through. We can arrange a guide for you if you wish.
A suggestion on a great read, Tropical Nature: Life and Death in the Rain Forests of Central and South America by Adrian Forsyth and Ken Miyata. This book is easy to read and prepares you for your hikes through the rain forests.
There are two ways to access the interior of the park, Los Lobos or the new tourist center bridge. Both are a short walk from Villas Pico Bonito. The Los Lobos entrance requires that you ford the river. Once you wade across, you will climb up along the side of the El Bejuco Creek. After only 20 minutes, you reach the first waterfall where you can jump into the pond and take a shower under the crystal clear waterfall. This trip takes around 2 to 2 1/2 hours to complete
The other entrance is accessed via a hanging bridge over the river. The trail leads to the beautiful El Bejuco waterfall. Rates for trail access are $7.00 USA dollars per adult and $4.00 USA dollars for children. Discounts are available for groups and volunteers. The visitor's center here has a small souvenir shop, as well as an exhibit regarding the park.
We recommend water bottles, proper shoes, long trousers, insect repellent, camera. If fording or planning to swim, a swimsuit or shorts and a dry pack.
This hike usually takes around 4 to 4 1/2 hours to complete.
There are many other hikes close by. If it is waterfalls you want to see, there are 3 within a 5 minute walk from Villas Pico Bonito. The Guaruma, the Vampiro and the Mapuche are also close by, so there are plenty to choose from.
Time: About 4 hours
Please bring: shorts, T-shirt, river sandals or tennis shoes, sun cream.
Time: 3 - 4 hrs
White water river swimming, jumping, sliding and floating between giant boulders in warm water (no wetsuits!). You will travel through the jungle in and around the Rio Cangrejal, in the Pico Bonito National Park.
The start is easy, we float through small waves between giant rocks and surf alongside house-size boulders. Later on we jump off cliffs, slide down boulders and float through friendly Class II rapids, feet first in our life jackets and helmets. You might not want to do a jump, slide or rapid? No problem, your guide will show you an alternative route.
Please bring: Shorts or swimsuit, T-shirt, river sandals or tennis shoes, sun cream.
Time: 3~4 hours.
Your horse will take you through Jungle villages located between two national parks. You will learn about these villages and the Hondurans who live there, all the while chatting with your local guide. Along the way, take a cooling swim in a spectacular natural pool. Taking this ride will help a sustainable tourism project to progress. A unique way to explore nature in the gorgeous Cangrejal River valley and get to know the local culture.
The ride starts as you meet your guide and the horses. The horses live here in the jungle and love to take you out on the trails to discover the valley with its beautiful views and authentic small villages. Your guide will help you get ready for the ride. We leave and head further up into the valley through the villages of El Naranjo and Las Mangas. Once through, we leave the horses in a nice shady spot and meet up with a young, well trained nature guide from the village. He or she will take us on a very interesting little hike, pointing out many plants, trees and possibly animals along the way.
For a refreshing break we stop at an inviting, crystal clear, natural pool along a hidden jungle river for a cool swim and to take in the breathtaking scenery. Perfect time to cool off and enjoy a tasty picnic lunch.
We part with our nature guide and return to our refreshed horses who are waiting with great patience and keen to show us more incredible views of the valley and the Cangrejal River on our ride back through the villages and home.
Please bring proper shoes, long trousers, insect repellant, swimsuit or shorts. Got your own camera, water bottle? - bring them.

Committed to a Cause: 5 Women Who Are Making a Difference
Get inspired by passionate women across the country who are helping raise money and build awareness for causes near and dear to their hearts.
By Angela Kwan
Cortney Pellettieri
Her cause: Hydrocephalus, a condition marked by excessive fluid in the brain that affects one in 300 people
Who inspires her to give: Her 6-year-old son, Max, who acquired hydrocephalus around the time he was born
How she's making a difference: Pellettieri (Good Housekeeping's Entertainment Director) is co-chairing the first Hydrocephalus Association 5K walk in Los Angeles, her hometown, which will take place on Sept. 29. Alison Sweeney will make an appearance at the family-friendly event that includes face painting, a hockey rink, and a DJ.
Fun philosophy: There's a fear of the unknown with hydrocephalus — some stories can be hard to hear. That's why Pellettieri is focusing on the positive. "I love the idea of bringing together all these people who are connected to hydrocephalus. It's more like a festival than a walk," she says. "By putting together a walk, helping raise awareness, and raising money for research, I can feel less helpless and feel like I'm making a difference."
Hardest challenge: Without an existing database of families in the LA area, outreach has been a big hurdle. The best way to get in touch with them is through neurosurgeons, but relying on hospitals is not always easy due to privacy issues. And though Max's neurosurgeon let Pellettieri post flyers in his office, it's not guaranteed that community members will see it. "Some years we see the doctor maybe once a year," she explains.

Park proposal draws ire
Residents who live near a proposed business park site say they want more input before city officials move forward with the proposal.
At its regular meeting on Monday, the High Point City Council heard protests from property owners in the Colfax area regarding a proposal for developing the High Point North Industrial Center business park near Interstate 40. The property is bordered by I-40, S. Bunker Hill Road, Sandy Ridge Road and Boylston Road.
On Nov. 19, the council made annexation of the site effective in six months, provided that the city reaches an agreement with the developer. City officials said they are close to doing this, but one looming issue is the city's cost of providing infrastructure for the project. The proposed agreement obligates the city to make $13 million in various road, water and sewer improvements.
Jimmy Morgan, a resident of Colfax, presented the council with photos of an injured black lab.
"Two weeks ago, that black lab was attacked by a pack of coyotes. His vet bills will probably amount to about $2,500," he said. "When development pushes wildlife into residential areas, this is what you will see. The little fellow there (in the photo) is my grandson, and he lives there, and he could've been back there. It's a reality that people don't seem to want to recognize."
Another Colfax resident, Brian Hannon, said council members should hear what the people have to say.
"You are the council that passed this, even though the planning and zoning commission turned it down, and I think that's a travesty," he said. "You did not listen to a planning and zoning commission that is telling you the problems are there, and you did it anyway. I want to make sure my voice is heard."
In other business, the council voted 6-2 not to reappoint Cynthia Davis as the Ward 3 representative of the planning and zoning commission. Mike Pugh and Foster Douglas were the dissenting votes. Pugh also presented a resolution as a resident to honor African Americans lost in World War I and World War II. Also the council approved a $156,706.50 three-year contract with Microsoft Enterprise Enrollment Agreement to authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Dell for the purchase of Microsoft products.
The council also approved a request to authorize staff to execute a supplemental agreement with the N.C. Department of Transportation for intersection and railroad crossing improvements on Hoskins Street at Gordon and Washington streets.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Vt. man appeals prison sentenceJanuary 03,2014Vt. man appeals
prison sentence
LANCASTER, N.H. A gunpowder plant owner sentenced to at least a decade in prison over a 2010 explosion that killed two workers in New Hampshire is planning an appeal.
Craig Sanborn of Maidstone, Vt., was convicted in October of manslaughter. He was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison and his bail was revoked.
The Caledonian Record reported that records at Coos County Superior Court show the 64-year-old Sanborn filed a notice to appeal the conviction. And in a separate case in federal court, recent filings show he intends to take a felony wire fraud charge to trial in Maine, where he opened a munitions plant in Brownsville, called X-Ring.
Prosecutors said Sanborn was reckless in manufacturing, testing and storing the black powder and failed to adequately train workers at the Black Mag plant in Colebrook, where an explosion killed 56-year-old Donald Kendall of Colebrook, and 49-year-old Jesse Kennett of Stratford.
Sanborns lawyer said his client was out of town and noted the explosion could have been caused by various scenarios, including employee error or a stray piece of metal creating friction inside a machine.
In Maine, an indictment alleges Sanborn fraudulently obtained $300,000 in community development block grant money for the munitions plant. He is accused of seeking public financing from the town and devising a scheme to defraud and obtain money by false and fraudulent representations by providing false invoices for equipment never received.
On Dec. 3, Chief U.S District Judge John Woodcock in Maine granted Sanborns motion to continue the trial from January to February.
According to Woodcocks order, The parties in this case have been discussing a settlement in light of the defendants recent conviction in New Hampshire.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StorySEOUL, South Korea North Korea has compared President Barack Obama to a monkey and blamed the U.S. Full Story

Michael Bresnick (Maine Law '96) Appointed Executive Director of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force
U.S Attorney General Eric Holder recently announced the appointment of Michael J. Bresnick as executive director of President Barack Obama's new Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. Bresnick, who graduated from the University of Maine School of Law in 1996, has spent the past eight years investigating and prosecuting complex fraud cases at the federal level.
After graduating from Bowdoin College and Maine Law, Bresnick clerked for Judge Morton Brody of the United States District Court for the District of Maine and for Judge Conrad Cyr of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, then practiced at the law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in New York, focusing on white collar crime and business litigation.
Bresnick began his career as a federal prosecutor in 2003 as an assistant U.S. attorney in Philadelphia, where he prosecuted a variety of criminal cases, including financial fraud, public corruption, heath care fraud, and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) offenses. His most recent work has been in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice as an assistant chief in the Fraud Section. In this position, Bresnick supervised a team of attorneys in the Financial Institution and Public Sector Unit, which investigates and prosecutes a broad range of financial crimes, including mortgage fraud and bank fraud.
The Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force was created by President Obama's executive order on November 17, 2009, to improve efforts across the government and with state and local partners in investigating and prosecuting those who helped bring about the last financial crisis as well as those who would attempt to take advantage of the efforts at economic recovery.

Displaying false registration tags got on man arrested. CHP Public information officer Marc Morrison says a 54 year old Nevada City man was stopped on highway 49 near Tyler Foote Road in North San Juan. The man was driving a 1999 Saturn with current registration tabs even though DMV said the license was expired. Officer Morrison says the man was taken into custody.
"The gentleman that was stopped by one of our officers was displaying an expired registration tag on his vehicle. On contacting the driver and examining his registration documents determined that that registration tag did not belong on that vehicle, which is a misdemeanor and taken very seriously in this state. He was subsequently arrested for false evidence of registration."
The man was also discovered to be driving on a suspended license. He was taken into custody and booked into the Wayne Brown Correctional facility.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Bank of Amerika is using your money to…
Posted by m1k3y on January 13th, 2012 in activism, art, rage against the machine
Lovely bit of culture-jamming from the streets and ATMs of San Fran by the Rainforest Action Network:
The stickers also encourage BoA customers to "Stop doing business with Bank of America until they start behaving responsibly" and have the URL to our new blog, which we've just launched along with The New Bottom Line:BankruptingAmerica.tumblr.com.
We're using that blog to track all the ways BoA is bankrupting America, hence the name. We've received so many submissions it's clear to us that this website was badly needed. There are lots of grievances to be aired with regard to how Bank of America is conducting its business these days, as it turns out. (Not that that's terribly surprising.)

Willie, Joey and the Doc
By Craig Muder
One at a time, they approached the podium at the New York Hilton. Men of great fame, accustomed to honors and accolades.
And one at a time, they looked to their right – 30 feet away in the audience at the New York City Baseball Writers' Association of America dinner on Saturday night. And they acknowledged the great Willie Mays.
Ron Gardenhire, skipper of the Minnesota Twins and the 2010 American League Manager of the Year. Bud Harrelson, the glue that held the 1969 Miracle Mets together at shortstop. John Denny, the 1983 National League Cy Young Award winner.
Each told similar versions of the same tale, separated by only geography and time. Mays was their hero, the player who inspired them to what they became.
As more than one said: The greatest living ballplayer.
It was a chance to celebrate the Giants' Hall of Famer, who will turn 80 this spring yet still elicits kid-like awe from three generations of baseball fans. For many, just sharing dinner with Mays was an experience they'll never forget.
Mays, however, was far from the only star in the room. The best of the best from the 2010 season received their hardware Saturday night, joined at the head table by luminaries like 2011 Hall of Fame electee Pat Gillick, 2012 HOF hopeful Barry Larkin, and Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.
It was the coda to the 2010 season, the official start of 2011. In 22 days, pitchers and catchers will begin to report to camps in Florida and Arizona. And the journey will begin anew.
It will be tough to top the heroics of 2010. Cy Young performances by Roy Halladay and Felix Hernandez. MVP seasons by Josh Hamilton and Joey Votto. And farewell campaigns from legendary managers Bobby Box, Lou Piniella and Joe Torre.
But come January of 2012, the magic will return at the BBWAA dinner. Maybe not with the bonus of an appearance by Willie Mays, but with the joy that is reborn with every fresh season on the diamond.
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Old rumors become new at Hall of Fame Library
By Trevor Hayes
Rumors are nothing new to baseball.
But no matter how unsubstantiated they may be or at least may seem to be, they had to come from somewhere. Earlier this week we saw yet another example: Albert Pujols, arguably the biggest name in the game, considered in a trade for Ryan Howard, the slugging St. Louis native.
Both stars balked. They say haven't heard anything and the clubs aren't saying anything. When the report surfaced, it also spawned references to Joe DiMaggio for Ted Williams, another famous non-deal.
In 1946, the Yankees and the Red Sox both denied the idea – in the media at least. Combing through the Library at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, you can find a number of items about what could have been – a blockbuster that would "set the American League on its ear!" as Richard Ben Cramer put it in the DiMaggio biography "The Hero's Life."
The Sporting News headlines just before and during the 1946 World Series show both teams denying interest. But after trading Joe Gordon – another future Hall of Famer – to Cleveland, accounts hint the Bombers needed an overhaul with the Yankee Clipper on the trading block.
The dynamics of DiMaggio for Williams were much simpler than Howard for Pujols. Both pull hitters could have easily taken advantage of their new parks: Williams hitting into the short porch in right wearing pinstripes, and DiMaggio banging hits and lofting flies over the Green Monster in crimson stockings.
Gossip started swirling before the Series started, but denial on both sides all-but-signaled the death of the story. In the Oct. 16, 1946, Sporting News, Red Sox management said Williams wasn't for sale while the Yankees expressed a lack of interest.
That set the stage for one of the most inconspicuous conversations in baseball history at Toots Shor's in New York City. Sometime in December 1946, the future Hall of Fame executives of the two rivals sat down for a long night at the tavern. After several hours, Yankee owner Larry MacPhail proposed the swap to Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey. MacPhail said DiMaggio could play next to his brother, Dom, and let fly over the Monster – just 315 feet away. Yawkey suggested Williams could crush Ruth's record aiming at stands just 296 feet away. Before the night ended, the two shook – DiMaggio for Williams, straight up.
But the next morning, Yawkey called MacPhail to nix the deal. According to the book "The Era" by Roger Kahn, Yawkey said: "I can't do it. They let Babe Ruth out of Boston. If I let Williams go, the fans will crucify me."
Some versions of the story, like the one in "Emperors and Idiots" by Mike Vaccaro, say Yawkey tried to salvage the deal by asking for "the kid catcher from Newark" but MacPhail declared: "You're out of your mind," to throw in Yogi Berra, who would also be enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
It goes to show that you can never be sure about baseball rumors. Howard for Pujols? It could happen. DiMaggio for Williams almost did.

The Hanson Place Seventh-Say Adventist Church played Handel's "Messiah" on a huge screen on Saturday.
Handel's "Messiah" wafted above Fort Greene on Saturday afternoon. Geraldine McMillian's famous soprano could be heard a full
two blocks away from the Hanson Place Seventh-day Adventist Church, where the church had set up a 9×12-foot mega screen hoisted on a silver trailer to stream the event outside and project the music at high volume.
While the church's Sanctuary Choir, accompanied by special guest soloists like Ms. McMillian, sang for parishioners and guests inside, pedestrians outside could watch the performance onscreen. The piece takes about two hours to sing, and began at 12 noon ending well after 2 p.m.
"There's a lot of traffic outside," explained Pastor Bob Mounter, "so we thought, 'Why not bring the event to people passing by?'"
"For two years, I thought about bringing up the idea to the church and didn't say anything," he added, "but this year I decided to go for it."
The choir has sung the "Messiah" at Christmastime for at least 35 years, but this is the first year that the church has brought the concert to the streets, renting a screen from Visible Display, a company that specializes in mobile screens for events and advertising.
Several members of the congregation stood outside to witness the event on screen for the first time and watch the reactions of the people passing. Locals seemed both curious and indifferent. One woman snapped a photo.
"It's been a success so far," said photographer and church member Harold Gadaire. "People have been stopping in the church."
Pastor Mounter was so happy with the event's results that he expressed plans to bring back the mega screen for future celebrations throughout the year.
This article was written by a New York Times reporter Jessie Kissinger who just happened to pass by the church last Sabbath.

|Return/Replacement policy:
"A few days ago I arrived tires, very fast delivery, the price is very favorable, customer service is also very good, can not find better than this in the store, I will introduce to my friends."
"I just bought from Simpletire.com for the first time. The price beat everyone else by a wide margin. Shipping prices were very reasonable for these large tires. I ordered the tires at 3PM on Tuesday and there were on my front porch by noon on Wednesday, LESS THAN 24 Hours. Your shipping times may vary but they are my new favorite tire vendor. The DOT date code shows that these are fresh and less than 2 months from coming off of the manufacturers production line. THANK YOU!!!!
"Very dissatisfied. I got a quote yesterday and today it change $90 per tire more. I spoke with a supervisor and he didn't want to change the price. "
"Ordered tires on 10/6 and on 10/10 was notified my order was canceled and money refunded, no explanation no "hey Mr customer we don't have the tires may recommend something else" just weird. Anyway went to another online retailer bought the four tires at $4 more each but with free shipping so ended up saving another $100."
"I ordered and paid for 4 tires online from simpletire.com and my order was canceled a couple of hours later due to incorrect price tag. If something is advertised at a price on your website it should be respected and no order should be canceled because of your mistake. It's like going to a store buying something at labeled price and then being taken away when you pay for it. I also received an email from simpletire.com representative that wasn't very pleasant.
"I ordered my tires around 1 p.m. central time on Thursday September 4th and misread/misunderstood the "same day delivery on select tires in select areas" policy that was displayed on a banner when I checked the shipping rates for a specific set of tires to my zip code. After I inquired about when they would be shipped, I received a prompt reply via email about 20 minutes after sending (great!) explaining things more clearly. What's more is that this e-mail was sent at 7 p.m. central time, which is after business hours (awesome!). Everything was explained, and my tires were shipped to my preferred installer the next morning, and arrived that afternoon. In 24 hours I went from ordering a set of 4 tires, to my installer receiving them and me getting them mounted and balanced, with excellent communication from their staff along the way. This was just as impressive as their low prices and reasonable shipping options and rates and I just wanted to drop a line to say thanks. The support member who helped me was named Tyler, and I think it's important to mention that because individuals are what help businesses achieve success.
Highly recommended."
"These are the best people you can work with. I had a little issue that Josh stepped up to the plate and took care of with out any questions being asked.
Thank you Josh"
"One word...amazing. Scott Miller saved the day for me by providing me with the best customer service anyone could ask for. Firstly, Simple Tire has the best price for tires, so if you are searching for tires your search can end here. The website is easy to navigate and provides all the information you need to make the right decision. On top of that, the tires ship lightning fast! So fast, that I almost shot myself in the foot!
I had accidentally ordered the wrong tires. Called in to Simple Tire and had the privilege of speaking to Scott Miller. I had literally ordered the tires a few hours prior and had already received a UPS tracking number. Scott personally called the warehouse the tires were shipping out of to stop the shipment. The tires were already loaded onto the truck and door about to shut, but Scott helped me out and stopped the shipment just in time to save me from having to pay for shipping and restocking.
Scott, if you are reading this, thank you again!! To all of those reading this to decide whether to buy tires from Simple Tire, I advise you do so. You won't beat the value and customer service."
"Simple Tire have its competitors beat on pricing. Just ordered my tire Thursday morning and received it Friday (next day!) with standard shipping. Now that is what I call fast service. I have definitely found my online tire store."
"I just received my tires in the mail 3 days after I ordered them. The guy I spoke with over the phone was great and helped me place an order. I love my tires, they are exactly what I was looking for. Fast service and best prices I found online. I will buy all my tires here from now on. Thanks SIMPLETIRE!"
"Awesome site I ordered three sets mounted and balanced myself with harbor freights manual tire changer and balancer of course I did do tires when I was a teen but its not hard. So I saved a bunch of money the shipping was fast I love the kenda tires I put on my truck they look great and ride very smooth for a on off road tire I don't go off road but I love the look especially for the price. I don't normally do reviews but I love simple tire so I figured I should"
"They provided the tire I needed to replace the damaged one on my car. No other tire dealer had or could find the tire in that brand. High end tire and my other three still had 90% wear left on them. Exellent online company with exellent customer service. Will use again. Thanks Simple Tire. R"
" I just wanted to say that you folks provided me with the best internet buying experience I've ever had, bar none! My tires were in stock @ the cheapest price anywhere and arrived to me in less than 48hrs. with standard shipping! I have 4 vehicles, 2 trailers, an ATV and all kinds of lawn machines that use pneumatic tires - not to mention, lots of friends. I have been proudly spreading the news of this fantastic deal, sharing your web address with everyone I talk to. I will buy any tires I need for anything from you guys as long as I live & you stay in business! Thank You................"
"Thanks Simple Tire! Received my set of 4 Continental PureContact tires in one week and had them mounted locally. Saved about $60 from what the tire store could order and mount them for. I am already looking forward to ordering tires for another car.
Thanks, Jeff"
"Your staff was very courteous and professional and I will look forward to future purchases from your company. Thanks for the speedy delivery of my order."

how to recommend rewriting
Hi Scott, how do we handle the edit if we receive an article that is sort-of off base and needs to be rewritten? Do we pass it along with simply a critique or ask the writer to re-write? Thanks, Scott.
William Cleek
Great question
Great question, William!
In general the role of the Listener is not to be an editor--so you can put away the red ink pens. But, if something is not clear to you then you should feel comfortable asking a question, for example "I wasn't sure what you meant by _____, could you explain?" Or, you could encourage the person to elaborate on something that is laying just below the surface.
Remember though, VOICE is the key essence of what you're supporting, and this will come in many forms.
Does that answer your question? Does it make sense?
Tomorrow when we announce the launch of the Campaign you'll see the full description of the submission guidelines, and that should help answer your question a little bit more as well.

The Safe and The Risky Path
On 12, Mar 2012 | No Comments | In Life | By Daniel Kao
One of the major factors of making a decision is security. Oftentimes, one decision is viewed as safe, and the other viewed as a risk.
For example, going to school or work everyday is a choice. One can decide to cut class or ditch work, but often that comes with a risk of a penalty. Or perhaps on a larger scale, one can decide to become a doctor or become an artist. Becoming a doctor seems like a safe path with a lot of money, while becoming an artist means you might starve for the rest of your life.
But consider all of the people who have ever become famous. Consider the ones that have made it into history books, and celebrated all around the world. Practically all of those people would say that they made a difference because of a risk that they took. You can't make a difference by doing what someone else has already done because they've probably already done it. No one can just come out with an iPod in 2012 and impact the music industry the way Apple did in the early 2000s.
But just taking a risk doesn't automatically make you a famous hero. Just because you have dropped out of college to start a company doesn't automatically mean that you will be on the next Forbes magazine. Taking a risk, for an extremely large portion, involves failure.
But does the safe, beaten come without risks either? Of course not. There is perhaps an even greater risk that comes with going with the beaten path, that is, regret. Forcing yourself to do something that you don't really care for and don't really have a passion for comes with the risk that you will regret life when you lay on your deathbed one day. According to a recent study, the number one regret for people on their deathbed is that they wished they had lived a life true to themselves, not the life others expected of them. In the end, people wished that they had honored their dreams and passions, not simply taken the path that was easiest.
It's a conscious choice that you have to make, and if you are not aware of the difference, it's easy to subconsciously follow the path that everyone else is taking.

Getting to iPrism on Android Mobile Devices
On 06, Mar 2012 | No Comments | In Technology | By Daniel Kao
If you're a Lynbrook student with an android phone, you've probably experienced an error trying to get on to the school network. Due to complications with iprism, you will see an error page instead of iprism's annoying log in page if you try browsing on your device.
Here is a quick guide to solving that problem.
Note: This is not a guide on how to bypass the filter, but merely a guide to getting the iprism login page to show up.
the problem is, your Android device is unable to resolve the hostname of iprism when you are at school, so a quick manual edit of your host file will easily solve that problem. This process will require you to be rooted, so if you are not rooted, be sure to check out this link on how to root your android device.
After you have successfully rooted your android device, fire up a root file explorer such as Root Explorer ($3.99) or Root Browser Lite (free). Using your file explorer, navigate to /etc and look for a file titled "hosts". Be sure to mount R/W and open the hosts file in a text editor and add the following line:
192.168.200.3 iprism
It looks like this:
Then save the host file, and fire up your browser and you should be greeted with the iprism login page.
