Frequently Asked QuestionsHere are some of the most common questions about Wildwind, and our best answers. Don't be intimidated by the amount of stuff on this page. Start by selecting a category, which will help you narrow everything down, and then go from there. Or try using the Search page. And if you still can't get your question answered, drop us a note!
Do I have to be baptized at Wildwind in order to attend there and/or be a member there?
No. Baptism is important for Christians and was both modeled and commanded by Jesus, but you do not have to be baptized in our particular church.
Do you baptize by immersion or sprinkling?
Yes. Both/and. Either/or.
What is baptism, and do I have to be baptized?
Christian baptism is immersion in water (or sprinkling with water) that serves as a public testimony that a person has given their life and allegiance to Jesus Christ. Because Jesus commanded it, and was baptized himself, we believe baptism is essential for all believers. It is is not something we do once we arrive at a certain level of spiritual maturity. We don't have to "work our way up" to it, or take classes on it (though doing so is definitely fine!). Baptism, rather, is to be the very first thing a Christian pursues once they have made the decision to be a Christ-follower.
I want to be baptized. What do I do?
Baptism is an important moment in the life of a Christian. If you are a Christian and have not been baptized, send email to baptizeme at wildwindchurch dot com and tell our pastor you desire to be baptized. There are three parts to baptism at Wildwind.
a. Complete and submit testimony worksheet
b. Schedule and record video
c. Get dipped!
First, download the Testimony Worksheet in a format that works best for you. This will help you write down the story of your spiritual journey. There is a sample included in the download so you can see what the goal is in doing this. Email baptizeme at wildwindchurch dot com if you need any help or have questions. Submit the worksheet by the date you and the pastor have agreed to.
After that you will be contacted by someone at Wildwind to set up an appointment to shoot your baptism video. Check out a sample video here. If you watch the video, you will see how powerful the videos turn out. Consider that you are doing your testimony worksheet for yourself, but you are doing the video for the community you're being baptized into.
You will get a detailed email from the pastor walking you through the actual day of the service and giving you a list of things to remember (what to wear, bring a towel, etc.!). On the day of your baptism you and everyone else being baptized will come forward together and give one-word responses to five simple questions. Then, one at a time, we will roll a video and then baptize that person, then roll the next video and baptize that person. We will proceed this way until we are done.
At the end of the service we will take a group picture and you will receive a certificate of baptism. Then we'll have a desert reception to celebrate with you. Then you'll remember that day for the rest of your life!
How old does my child have to be in order to be baptized?
We will baptize anyone who is willing and able to make a conscious profession of faith in Christ,
under three conditions:
1. The child has to be able to articulate to the parent what baptism means and why they are doing it.
2. The child has to be able to stand up front and answer his/her baptism questions. No fingers in mouth, picking at shirt (or nose!), or staring bashfully at the floor.
3. The child must be able to make his/her baptism video (check out a sample), just like the adults do. The videos children make are very short usually, but they can be just as powerful as the ones made by adults -- sometimes moreso.
Will you baptize my baby?
Certainly. But we encourage a practice called infant dedication. Dedication is when parents bring their baby forward and make a pubilc declaration of their intention to raise the child in ways that are likely to result in the child growing up to make the conscious and free choice to live for God. We anoint the baby's head with a small amount of water as a symbol of that dedication, and the congregation stands as a way of affirming their support.
For parents
What do I do with my baby?
We have a nursery equipped with people who love babies and are good with them, and you are welcome to leave your baby there. If you prefer to keep your baby with you, that is fine too. If during the service your baby gets fussy, please do not feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, as we are a family church! Just slip out quietly to the lobby area. It is wired with a speaker so you can tend to your baby and still hear what's happening in the service. Feel free to come back in when your baby is ready.
What is your children's program like?
Our chidlren's program features both small and large group activities. Wildwind believes all people should be connected closely to a group of friends who can support them and this is how we encourage this among our children. The goal is always to help kids understand more about God and to see them commit to serving him with their lives. Our staff is trained and committed to children. We believe your child will love our program.
When do I pick up my children?
Little ones in the nursery can stay right until the end of the service, then parents need to pick them up in the nursery. When the children's service gets out, children will be brought back to the auditorium. Parents, please keep your child with you at that time, or designate another adult for your child to sit with. It is critical that we not have children running back and forth between seats in the auditorium as we are wrapping up our service.
I have children older than fifth grade. What does Wildwind have for them?
We have a teen program for those in grades 6-12. It is led by passionate and well-trained adult volunteers. Teen services are Sunday mornings at the same time as the adult service. Everyone begins in the auditorium, then we dismiss teens and children to go to their programs.
There are monthly social events for both high school and middle school. In addition, there is a small group for high schoolers which meets on Sunday evenings. There is currently no middle school small group.

- How do I learn more about Wildwind?
How will I be notified if activities at the church are canceled?
In the event of a cancellation of a service or activity at Wildwind, we notify you in the following ways:
1. An announcement on our website
2. A message on our e-list (subscribe here)
3. Messages on our Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ pages
4. An outgoing message when you call the church phone number (810.309.9463, a.k.a., 309-WIND)

We will have weather-related cancellation announcements on our website by 7 a.m. for Sunday services.
If services/activities must be cancelled less than two hours in advance, and/or if the reason for cancellation is something other than a weather emergency, we will do our best to make phone calls to those concerned.
I'm new. What sermon would best introduce me to what is most important at Wildwind Church?
Perhaps this one
What do you think about other churches?
We do not believe Wildwind is for everybody and have no illusions that our way of doing church is "better" than all other ways. We are just doing what we know we are supposed to do. Find a church that is right for you!
What does Wildwind want from me?
We hope you will come with a desire for God, or a desire for more of God, and a sense that there is a great deal to be learned.
What if I drink, smoke, swear, or have other habits?
Welcome to the club! We all have things that dog us. Some of them we get over. Others we might struggle with all our lives. Others we decide in the scheme of things aren't as bad as we thought. Either way, Wildwind is a place where we want to be able to admit those flaws and encourage one another.
What ministries do you have?
Wildwind focuses on simplicity. We have been very careful to keep the number of ministries we do to a minimum. Here are the things we currently are doing:
*Sunday morning worship
*Adult and Sr. high small groups (meeting in homes throughout the week)
*Teen program (kids 6th-12th grade)
*Children's Ministry50+ group (social and service events)
*Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University
*Meditation group
*Prayer group
*Serve dinner monthly at men's homeless shelter
*Periodic food/clothing distributions
*Leadership training program
*Pastor's mentoring program
*Operation Christmas Child
These are all of our formal ministries. Each of these ministries requires staffing, and many of them require budgets. The people of Wildwind provide the work that is required to make these things happen.
In addition to these, a new church was recently birthed out of Wildwind and that took about three years of training and preparation. We are committed to this work.
Our greatest desire is to move into a position over the next couple of years that will allow us to do much more substantial work than we are currently doing to help those in poverty. If you have a passion/gift for that kind of work, please bring us your ideas!
Getting Involved
How do I get involved in service at Wildwind?
Involvement at Wildwind comes as people begin attending services and getting a feel for what the church is like. View available opportunities here. Once you get to that spot, you can send an information request to area coordinators and ask questions or get more info about any particular areas that interest you.Also, we invite you to complete our brief Interest and Skill Survey to let us know where your previous experiences and passions might be directing you to serve. Filling this out does not force you to serve in any particular area, it only helps us get you plugged into the place that is right for you.Whether or not you decide to serve, we would urge you to sign up for Discovery. There you will learn all about why we believe serving is important, and you'll also learn important things like how Wildwind chooses leaders for its ministries and how each ministry is expected to relate to the rest of the church, along with other vital information about Wildwind.
What if I want to serve in a ministry at Wildwind but I'm not a Christian?
Then we hope to put you into a position of service that will help you along on your journey. There are positions that require much commitment, and positions that require only a little commitment -- positions that require a person to be a Christian and those that do not -- positions that require membership and those that do not. There is a place for you to serve at Wildwind and we want to help you find the place that is right for you.
Every year around budget time there's a line for East Michigan Conference. What is that and why do we pay money to it?
Wildwind is a Free Methodist Church. The national Free Methodist Church is organized into "conferences," which is easier to understand if you think simply of districts. The East Michigan Conference is a grouping of around 50 Free Methodist churches on the Eastern side of Michigan.
Our conference office is on Vienna Rd. in downtown Clio. At the office is a superintendent who looks after all the pastors in the conference. If you pastor a church in the East Michigan Conference, he is your boss. The office also employs a full-time secretary and a full-time accountant.
Conference offices have several purposes. The most obvious one is to convey to local churches the denomination's ideas, plans, and strategies. Another is to provide friendship, encouragement, training, and accountability to pastors and their staffs. This is critical, as a common difficulty pastors have is a sense of isolation. The conference also provides guidance, training, resources, and evaluation for pastors who are planting new churches. Another is to handle critical things that need to be done in an organization full of pastors. We will cover that in the paragraphs below.
The conference is made up of several boards and committees. The Administrative Board tends to the administrative affairs of the conference. The Board of Ministerial Education and Guidance exists to coach and encourage pastors through the ordination process and track their progress, as well as to regularly review the mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional health of each conference pastor and assess his/her ongoing fitness for ministry. The Ministerial Appointments Committee is responsible for determining the specific church locations where pastors serve. Determinations and new appointments are made every year. This is also the group responsible for recruiting and filling a position when a pastors leaves a church for any reason. There is also a Vision Team made up of roughly ten conference pastors who, in coorperation with the superintendent, brainstorm ways the conference can provide a framework that can help local churches grow and help people know God.
Money that is paid to the Conference Office falls into a few categories. First is allocations. Allocations are monies sent to the conference by each local church that supports the work of the conference and denomination. Think of these monies as "dues." The conference also has an insurance plan that is offered to each full-time pastor, and many pastors are insured though that program. Furthermore, the conference maintains short and long term disability coverage for pastors. Finally, each pastor also has a pension plan. Whereas the insurance costs are often fixed, the allocation level is determined by a formula involving weekly attendance and contribution levels.
Why is church membership important?
We believe nothing in life that is worthwhile is achieved without commitment. Becoming a member of a church means making a commitment to us, to partner with us in fulfilling God's purpose for our church in this community.
Can I be part of Wildwind without becoming a member?
Absolutely! Some of Wildwind's most dedicated people are not currently members of our church. We cannot imagine our community without them. Yet most of them are moving toward membership and looking forward to the time when they will be ready to take this step.
The difference between being a member and not being a member is not that members are better, more holy, more spiritually evolved, or anything like that. Members are simply people who say, "I embrace the values and purpose of this church and I commit to partner with these people to fulfill that purpose." Membership involves commitment and accountability.
If you don't want to pursue membership, don't. If you want to see what it's all about, attend Discovery where it's spelled out clearly for you.
What are the commitments for membership at Wildwind?
No one has to be a member at Wildwind. For those who wish to pursue membership, we ask for two commitments in each of two key areas of life:
1. Connect to God through serving Jesus Christ as the leader of your life.
2. Connect to others through partipation in a small group.
1. Contribute your time by serving in a Wildwind ministry using the gifts and skills God has given you (which we'll help you find if you're unsure!)
2. Contribute your money by supporting Wildwind financially. The members of an organization must be committed to helping it grow and succeed.
What kinds of sermons are preached at Wildwind?
Good ones, we think! The approach is journey-based, with the pastor leading the congregation in thinking through issues and how they relate to our lives. The best way to get familiar with the sermons is to listen to a few.
What if I hear something I don't agree with?
Count on it! We're all individuals and we have different opinions, even in regard to how to interpret certain things in the Bible. While we do believe it's important to have a few essentials, we have tried to articulate those essentials as clearly as possible so we can grant large amounts of freedom and space to individuals on their journeys.
We hope you'll remember one thing and that is that the church is not a place that is supposed to determine what it believes based on how it can best conform to the culture. The church's unique task is to hold fast to spiritual truth and to teach it, which then informs our value system, from which springs our basic approach to things. If you hear something in a sermon that offends you, we encourage you to:
1. Place it in context by making sure you have heard the whole sermon series (always on our website)
2. Send the pastor an email and ask a question.
3. Stick it out and see if the impression you got is consistent with the other things we say and do.
4. Sign up for Discovery which will give you many of the Why's behind who we are and what we teach.
5. Consider that Wildwind may not be the right church for you. We are fully aware of this possibility, but would like first to see people explore the options that will help them arrive at this conclusion with confidence.
Small Groups
My last church didn't teach anything about being in a small group. Why does Wildwind encourage it so much?
Wildwind encourages all our people to be in a small group because people can be impressed from a distance, but they can only be impacted from up close. The Sunday morning service can inspire you, get you pumped up, and teach you some important things, but it cannot replace a network of personal relationships.
As Wildwind gets larger it will naturally become more difficult to connect with others and build relationships. Small group participation will assure that every person has the opportunity to have a network of friends to share life's journey with.
If after this explanation you still do not understand why it is so important, that is because you have probably never been part of an effective small group before. All we ask is that you give it a try. Everyone who has ever joined a group has been nervous at first -- that is a natural feeling. But everyone who has ever done it has also understood very quickly why we encourage it so much!
What if I never join a small group?
We cannot make you, and even if we could that would be missing the point! But we will consistently encourage all of our people to connect in this way.
What if I've been too nervous to join a small group?
Believe me, we've all been there. Stepping out of our comfort zone is never easy, yet God reward's that kind of by-faith action step. You'll be glad to know that our small group leaders have gone through specific training in the area of helping new comers to feel comfortable and at ease.
What if I don't like so and so in my group?
E.G.R.(extra grace required) people are often times not fun to be around. Have you ever considered that "so and so" may be just the reason that God has placed you in the group? One of the best ways to grow in Jesus is through the buffering of those who rub us the wrong way.
What about when new people come into my group and it isn't the same?
New people can change the dynamics of a group. Change by nature rocks the boat, yet in the end new blood can create added depth to a group. Also, remember Rick Warren's words on day one of the 40 days of purpose…"It's not about you." There are times when we need to willingly let the focus shift to the needs of the new member(s) of the group.
What if I am not growing spiritually?
All of us experience seasons of decelerated spiritual growth. That's how the Christian life works. It's while going through those chapters in your life that you need the support and accountability of your small group more than ever.
What do I do if group just doesn't seem to be working for me any more?
Being a part of a small group can be compared to being in a marriage. There will be times of great celebration as well as times when it might seem easy to just bale on the commitment. We believe that when it come to the relationships in our lives, God wants us to ride out those low times, realizing that better days may be just around the corner. This quality of relational consistency is called faithfulness.
What if I don't like the material we're doing?
We all have topics that don't get us all that excited. When the material in your group isn't "doing it" for you, remember that the main reason you are in the group is the relationships, not the resources! Always be positive about the material your group is doing, realizing that God may be using it to change the life of another person. We just cannot always know what the needs are of other people.
What if I couldn't get into a group with so and so?
It's only human to want to be placed in a group with friends we know well. Although that seems like the best route, it can create cliques that end up leaving other people out in the cold. The developing of new relationships is a good thing for you as well as for the overall health of the church. Our small groups are arranged to make it likely that close friends can get into groups together. But also each group will be likely to have newcomers.
I am upset that my group has to multiply and start a new group. What if I want to keep it the way it is?
As members of a small group, we can relate to your sentiment. It's difficult to multiply a group and have to separate from those individuals with whom you've invested deeply. The fact is that when groups don't multiply they inevitably begin to deteriorate and eventually become toxic. We acknowledge that multiplication is not easy, yet it is essential for the overall health of our small group ministry. Wildwind MUST remain focused on continuin to offer opportunities for everyone to be in a group, and we can only do that as our people remain committed to offering to others what has been offered to them.
What do I do when the time commitment has started to get to me?
We agree that it's not always easy to carve out time for small group participation. Yet no worthwhile activity comes without a price. Please remember that for many people growth happens primarily within the small group setting and not one of us can risk not investing needed time in this valuable asset. We have structured our groups on a "semester" system, so breaks up to a month long are built right into the schedule and from there you small group leader will work with your group to set a schedule that is right for the group.
What is the biggest difference being in a small group will make in my life?
If you go back and read all the FAQ's in the small group section, you'll notice that, naturally, they are all questions about "me." Small group helps us get over ourselves! But even small group is just a step in that direction. Groups will plan service projects and other things that will help us contniue growing to become less about ourselves and more about God and others.
Spiritual Formation
I hear you have a silent prayer (meditation) group. What does it look like and what do you do?
That question is answered beautifully right here.
Will Wildwind's pastor perform my wedding?
If you are interested in having our pastor perform your wedding ceremony, download this flyer (929 kb) for a few guidelines. After reading it you should have a pretty good idea of what is involved. We look forward to your call.
Worship Service
What are your services like?
Church at Wildwind is different from most church experiences. In itself this is neither good nor bad - just factual. If you have been to other churches before and enjoyed it, you may or may not appreciate Wildwind. If you have not been to church much before, or if you have never felt very comfortable in most churches, Wildwind may be for you.
What do I wear?
Wear whatever you want. Most of us wear jeans and t-shirts, but if you like to dress up, dress up. It doesn't matter at all.
What is your music like?
Drums, guitars, etc. We just play what we like to hear in worship. It's not like heavy metal, but it's not traditional either. Most important, it's well done. Our band has been together a long time, they are good friends, and they know what they are doing and are an important part of Wildwind's environment.
What time is your service?
Sundays, 10 a.m.
Am I going to be hounded for money?
Nope. Never. Period. That doesn't mean we don't ever TALK about money. We do, since it's one of the biggest things that messes up our lives. But no, we'll never hound you.
- What if I want to contribute something?There's a box in the back with a slot in it. We do not take offerings at Wildwind.

Inside an Israeli Defense Lab
Israeli military specialists and university researchers are developing new drones and new ways to protect buildings and buses from attack.
By Rachel Nuwer
In Ben-Gurion University's shock wave laboratory, professors Oren Sadot and Gabi Ben-Dor create shock and blast waves to study their interactions with buses, helicopters, buildings, and home interiors. By understanding the properties of shock waves, they hope to develop structures and technologies to protect buildings and vehicles from explosives and shrapnel. To create shock and blast waves, their use either chambers that can exert a strong, quick pressure on a materialwhich they can then measure using high-speed photography and pressure gagesor a high-voltage capacitor that discharges the equivalent of 1/10th a gram of TNT in 1 microsecond, a millionth of a second.

The Microsoft dominance of the desktop OS market
began in the 1980s with the command-line OS
for the original IBM-compatible PC.
Apple from 1984 popularised the new mouse-and-windows graphical UI, with what is now called "classic" Mac OS.
It took some time for Microsoft to compete in the GUI market.
From Windows 3 onwards (especially Windows 3.1, 1992) Microsoft pulled ahead and became the dominant PC GUI OS.
Microsoft is still dominant in that market today.
Most people would agree that DOS and Windows (before Windows 95) were harder to use, for most users, than the Apple Mac at the same time. So why did Microsoft Windows still win the OS war?
Some ideas:
These are only ideas and suggestions. They may not all be true / important.
David Gelernter has an interesting theory in The Aesthetics of Computing, 1998 (Ch.2, "The Paradox of Beauty").
He suggests that Windows won because the Mac was too easy to use, at a time when computers were meant to be hard to use. It was seen as a "toy" system. And so it lost the business market.
This is how I felt about it. I didn't find the Mac easy to use, since it didn't allow me write command-line scripts. As a programmer, I preferred UNIX and DOS/Windows.
So maybe the Mac lost because it lost the techies (programmers, sysadmins), who preferred UNIX and DOS/Windows throughout the 1980s-90s. Not because they were being backward, but because no-command-line really isn't a good interface for power users.
Microsoft has always been more tolerant of multiple styles of interaction with the computer (including all sorts of "ugly" backward compatibility). Whereas Apple has always had more of a "vision" that you either buy into or not.
Because the OS is so fundamental to all applications, there is a tendency to standardise on an agreed OS. This can be done 2 ways:
In both cases, all applications run on a common platform.
The disadvantage of the 2nd case is that you are at the mercy of whatever the monopolist decides to give you.
Free enterprise works because competition leads to better products and better choice.
Sometimes this doesn't work, and, for whatever reason, the market turns into a monopoly in which there is seemingly no competition.
For example, many have disputed that Word, Excel and IE gained dominance in the word processor, spreadsheet and browser markets respectively by simply being the best products. A common complaint was that they gained it because they came from the company that made the Operating System. No one else had a chance. The latecomer Internet Explorer's rapid and total defeat of the pioneer Netscape is perhaps the most spectacular example of this.
For many years, people argued about whether the state (in particular the US and EU) should do anything about the Microsoft monopoly. Whether government should intervene to restore competition in the industry. In the end, little was done, but other factors caused the monopoly to ease (though not end).
IE dominance has eventually declined though. Easy to switch browser. Not so easy to switch OS.

At end-2013, largest companies in the world (by market value) included the following IT companies:
You might agree, but that's not the point. The point is that the Google corporation has massive and unaccountable power to decide what people can see.
If people become unhappy with YouTube, switching video hosting service is not easy since people lose their channel, uploads, subscribers and view count.
But again, this gives it power.
If people become unhappy with Twitter, switching "short message" service is not easy since people lose their followers.
But either way, the point is that decisions on who gets a good platform to speak and who does not are made by corporations not governments.

Faulty Basle turn to Yakin
Heiko Vogel has been sacked as head coach of Basle, and replaced him with Murat Yakin, the Swiss champions have announced.
The 36-year-old was handed the job on a full-time basis last December after leading Basle to a surprise win over Manchester United in the Champions League during a spell as interim coach.
Basle also went on to lift the domestic Super League title, their third in a row, but this season has not gone as well and they currently lie eight points behind leaders Grasshoppers in the league table, leading to Vogel's departure.
Former Lucerne boss Yakin has been appointed their new coach, a statement on Basle's official website confirmed.
"Heiko Vogel's premature release from his current contract was the result of an assessment of the actual state and sporting development of the first team," it read.
"Different views over the further development of our cooperation, the unsatisfactory start to the season and the failure to raise the team led to the current assessment.
"No common ground could be found, which is why the board had to consider a termination of cooperation as the obvious solution."
Yakin has signed a contract until June 30, 2014.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Right off the bat, too much is made about international marketshare numbers.
Google's (GOOG) strategy with Android means it will most likely command a seemingly impressive marketshare in many markets around the world. This much should be embarrassingly obvious. If Apple (AAPL) opened up iOS the way Google slums Android, Apple would dominate Google and Samsung even at the tribe level across the universe. al Qaeda cells in Somalia would chart as iPhone users.
Given Apple's refusal to go cheap and dilute all that is good about its brand and product quality, it's impressive the company does as well as it does in emerging markets and countries where smartphone subsidies aren't quite as generous as they are in America.
Understanding that line of thought -- which, surprisingly, more than a few people do not -- puts you in the best position to understand Apple. It also helps to ignore the catcalls of Android fans, Apple haters and the headline-firing media and focus on U.S. marketshare data like I do and did in an article for TheStreet, picked up by the good folks at MSN Money, last month.The latest comScore numbers show the trend I illustrate in that article marches on. As of the end of August, Apple continues to gain domestic marketshare as a smartphone platform (Android lost a bit). Apple also continues to grow as an OEM, not only dominating Samsung, but growing at a faster clip. Between this massive and largely loyal base and the halo effect, Apple is in prime position to carry on the same or a similar flavor of domination it exerts today. I'm as much a victim of conventional thought as the next guy; and lo and behold, as I started checking my assumptions, I came to alternative conclusions. At the top of the list, I'm not certain Apple needs this "next big thing" so many of us speak of. At least not something new that matches -- or even comes close to -- the success, from a unit sales standpoint, of iPod, iPhone or iPad. Apple might be better off focusing on two areas:
- Maintaining the premium price and high-quality of its current products to keep the aforementioned loyal base and halo effect alive
- Leveraging that base (which will include recent converts) to adopt even bigger ticket items that enhance/complement/supplement the seamlessness of the Apple ecosystem

Leave entitlements alone
I am writing about comments by U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan., in the Aug. 9 Herald.
So you think such programs as Social Security and Medicare are crushing the amount of debt in our government? Just what rock have you been hiding under?
I am writing about comments by U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan., in the Aug. 9 Herald.
So you think such programs as Social Security and Medicare are crushing the amount of debt in our government? Just what rock have you been hiding under?
Since I was 15, I've worked either full time or part time. And every paycheck they took out money for Social Security, Medicare, federal and state taxes, and everything else they could think of. I got paid maybe half of what I earned, and I worked long and sometimes hot hours to get it.
So, lady, I paid for Social Security and Medicare for almost 56 years and, baby, they are still taking out for Medicare from my Social Security check. I don't consider this a free ride. I and many, many like me have worked our rear ends off so people like you can live high off the hog and say and act like we're parasites on the American government.
You want to cut something and curb spending? Why don't you in Congress all take a 20- to 25-percent cut in your pay? Cut your gas allowance and entertainment expense account — you're traveling around the country at the people's expense. Have you ever tried to live on less than $500 a month? Have you ever been without food because you needed medicine or to pay your utility bills? Ever live in a town with no car to drive and no bus service except the senior bus on certain days? A taxi costs as much as $10 one way from one end of town to the other. And all the doctors, grocery stores and most shopping are at the other end of town.
Have you ever done without what you really need? I'll bet not, and you won't. You'll sit back and reap in your benefits, retirement pay and security guards and not think a thing about it — only that you served the American people and you deserve everything you get. That's why you all run for government office in the first place. It's not just you; it's everyone who is in our government offices, here in Kansas and up in Washington, D.C. As far as I'm concerned, you are all crooks one way or another.
I've heard President Obama talk of cutting out military pay and their benefits, but he doesn't have a problem sending them into war to be killed or maimed for life. How many kids are without a mother or a father because of the billions of dollars he's spent on war? How many millions have been given to overseas governments to keep them happy and to buy their friendship with the United States — money they used for weapons? How long do Americans intend to bow down and let the government officials who work for us take our money every month and every year to waste and then decide they need more?
Sounds a lot like good ol' King George of England: Taking everything you got and wanting more, but giving you nothing but the shaft. I think George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and all the rest would puke if they saw everything they worked and died fighting for going down the toilet and heading for dictatorship by those in our government.
Leave my freaking Social Security and Medicare alone and cut your own pay for a change.
— Shirley Coffman,

At least two Djiboutian soldiers and two al-Shabab fighters have been killed in an attack on a hotel used by African Union troops in Somalia, the AU has said.
The attack happened at the Amalow hotel in Buulobarde on Thursday. Al-Shabab fighters hurled explosives at the entrance before exchanging fire with Somali and African Union troops at the hotel.
Elio Yao, a spokesman for the UN-backed AU mission in Somalia, told the AFP news agency that gunmen failed to enter the compound but had killed two Djiboutians.
The two al-Shabab fighters "dressed in military fatigues or uniform" were also killed, Yao said.
"There was an exchange of fire at the checkpoint, during that exchange the two Djiboutians were killed... the attackers were not able to enter the compound."
Al-Shabab meanwhile said it had killed six AU soldiers.
"Our well-armed Mujahideen ... entered Hotel Amalow in Bulobarde again. They are carrying out the operations, shootings," Abdiasis Abu Musab, al-Shabab's spokesman for military operation told Reuters news agency.
Al-Shabab killed several Djibouti soldiers in an attack at the same hotel in March. The attack involved a 60-year-old Norwegian suicide bomber and at least a dozen heavily armed fighters, al-Shabab said.
Troops from several African Union countries are aiding Somali government troops in the conflict with al-Shabab.

I always love to work with dancers and the group from Inertia, The School of Dance was awesome! Our photo shoot in Old Town St. Charles was a huge success despite the problems with parking and a few raindrops here and there. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.
Thank you to the helpful dad who got the girls up and down safely – I love this shot!!!
It was actually raining when we photographed this group. I was so impressed how patient everyone was waiting under umbrellas. The little ones even held umbrellas over my head to keep my camera drop – what a bunch of cuties!
Fortunately, the rain was not bad and did not last long. With the cooperation of wonderful parents, teachers and dancers we finished on time and just minutes before a huge thunderstorm passed through.
Thanks Inertia for such an enjoyable photo shoot and great day!

This Canadian-made musical features clever, biting and amusing twists on the familiar legends of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. With fast-paced, witty lyrics and a polished, sophisticated score, this show is sure to have you singing The Evil Song, Undercover Lover and After Intermission long after the curtain has come down. Irreverent to the core, Robin Hood is tongue-in-cheek entertainment that jabs an accusing finger at the social, political and religious constructs which inform our notions of status and the distribution of wealth.

You investigate web, consider a site that you like therefore you add it to all your Favorites. Well basically interpersonal is almost the same principle. social bookmarking links However, this point when you discover a site you probably like, you won't add it for your favorites -you include it to somewhat of a bookmarking blog, which and then shares any entry with everybody else. So typically, social bookmarking is really a collective favorites report on many, many people on line. Some book-marking sites get numerous visitors 24 hours!

Dear Help Squad,
Several months ago I purchased tile from Heritage Tile in Oak Park. I then selected, Phil Zeleznikar from a list of tile contractors they provided. On the day of installation, Phil arrived and I then left for work.
The installation was complete within a day and a half, and the project was paid in full, $1,400. It was the weekend when I first had an opportunity to inspect the tiles. Several tiles were installed upside down, one was backward, cuts were not straight, a corner tile was pieced together and there were no holes placed to attach switch plate covers. The grout was not mixed or applied properly leaving a large variation in color and uneven areas. According to a discussion I later had with Phil and staff at Heritage Tile, Phil admitted to allowing two of his workers to install these tiles unsupervised.
Phil has been contacted several times requesting that he replace several tiles and attempt to even the grout. In addition to my requests, Heritage Tile contacted him and an attorney sent him a letter. To date, all efforts have been unsuccessful.
I would appreciate your assistance with resolving this matter.
Marie DiGiacomo, Oak Park
Help Squad reached out to Phil and we have to say, he could not have been any more pleasant and accommodating. He gave us two possible days that he could be at Marie's home to repair the work and he kept his word.
According to Marie, Phil replaced 12 tiles, re-grouted part of the project, and went the extra mile, replacing switch plate covers that weren't even part of the estimate.
Marie let us know that she is quite pleased with the way the kitchen looks, and that Phil was not only professional, but very concerned about making sure the job was done to her satisfaction.
Dear Marie,
I think anyone would agree that the kitchen is probably the room in which we spend the most amount of time either cooking, socializing or enjoying meals with family and friends. So Help Squad understands the importance of making sure the décor is everything we want it to be. We are so glad that you are enjoying your updated kitchen, and that Phil stepped up and did the right thing! Bon Appetite!
Tips for do-it-yourself tile projects
Since Phil did such a nice job on Marie's kitchen, we decided to call him back to get some advice and tips for do-it-yourselfers who might want to install some tile in their home. We found out that Phil, who is a former U.S. Marine, has spent 13 years working as a general contractor.
Tile tips
1. Sometimes people tile over drywall or plaster, which isn't wise. It's always better to create a flat, level substrate, which is an underlying surface that the tile goes on, and then tile over that. The substrate makes the project easier, and improves the quality of the work.
2. Do your homework when choosing an adhesive. There are several types, each meant to be used for different projects. In other words, you would use a different adhesive when laying tile on a floor versus a backsplash. Also, factors such as moisture, humidity, heat and foot traffic should be considered when choosing the appropriate adhesive.
3. Pay close attention to the tile you select. Different tiles work better in different areas of a home. For example, you shouldn't put a very porous tile in a shower because it will be too difficult to keep it sealed. Porous stone is much more appropriate for a floor or a backsplash.
4. When choosing your grout, take into account location, moisture, heat and other factors.
5. Always seal the tile after completion of the project, and continue to seal the area annually. Sealing protects and helps maintain the integrity of the grout, prevents staining, and makes cleaning it easier.
6.The biggest mistake people make is that they don't apply enough pressure to secure the tile to the substrate. If there's a void in that area, it will eventually start to loosen, and will cause the grout to crack.

I've been corresponding with a 17 year old straight cross dressing guy who is in a bit of a dilemma:
1) He's in the closet about cross dressing.
2) He's used his sister's clothes in the past without her knowing and she got really mad at him when she found out.
He writes:
"She (sister) told me her privacy felt pretty invaded, and didn't like me too much after that. i understand that; she wants privacy. what should i do for clothes when i want to dress up? should i still use her clothes, and return them right away after i use it? i'm not about to go out buying girl clothes, or much less have my mom go shopping for me."
First off you need to stop wearing your sister's clothes behind her back. Privacy is privacy.
You could go to a thrift store and get a few items there. September and October are the best months to go shopping for your cross dressing needs because if ever questioned you can say you lost a dare and now you have to dress up in women's clothing for Halloween. The sales rep will find it cute. Or you can always say "It's a long story, maybe I'll tell it to you someday".
Nobody like's to be judged negativey but it's always been my experience that when you make shopping a fun experience the sales rep or cashier will be thrilled to help you find an item that makes you happy. Let's not forget, that they want your cash so they are going to try to help you. Plus most thrift stores don't have sales reps. They only have a cashier so you are free to shop without anyone bothering you.
The key to hiding an item from your parents after you get in the house, is to also buy one item that is for boys. This way if they ask you what you got in the bag then pull out the boy item from the bag and show them. If they ask to see the rest of the stuff you simply say "oh it's just a few more things nothing too crazy," and change the subject like "what's for dinner?"
If you think there is a way to get your sister on your side than go for it. Negotiate with her. If she helps you get clothes then maybe you can help her with something she needs. This could very well be a bonding experience. Something that can bring you two together instead of pulling you apart. The key here is to restore the trust.
I'm not sure if my little sister knows this, but when I went on American Idol dressed as Amnesia back in 2002 I was wearing my sister's clothes; with the exeption of the shoes. Hey sis, did I ask if I could wear your clothes or did I take them behind your back? Your clothes sis got me far. I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you.
What do you suggest this young man do in order to be able to dress up and not have his parents find out? Should he ask his sister for help?

An exercise bike is
gentle on
the low back
Often, after trying an overly-intensive or high-impact exercise program, it is natural for patients to become discouraged and hesitant to seek out other forms of aerobic exercise. Other patients may avoid exercise entirely for fear that it will aggravate their low back pain. The key is to find a mode of exercise that is comfortable and helps to heal a sore back. For many patients, using an exercise bike is an excellent option for a low stress work out.
Health benefits of
riding stationary
exercise bikes
In fact, one study shows that stationary exercise biking may alter pain perception. Although more research is needed on the topic of pain perception and aerobic exercise, a study presented to the American College of Sports Medicine in 2000 by Martin Hoffman, M.D. showed that riding an exercise bike helped reduce the discomfort of patients suffering from chronic low back pain. The study found that after riding an exercise bike at a moderate intensity for up to thirty minutes, patients reported feeling less pain after riding than they did before riding (1). Based on the preliminary results of this small study, exercise biking and other gentle forms of exercise may be helpful in reducing patients' perception and feelings of pain.
In addition to exercise bikes, there are many other forms of exercise that usually do not place too much stress on the spine. Examples of low impact, low stress forms of aerobic exercise include exercise walking, yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, aquatic therapy or swimming.
As with any exercise program, consult a physician before beginning to make sure that the program is appropriate, safe and effective.

From the Utah Division of wildlife Resources
-- If you're going to hunt deer on any of the following units in Utah, remember that this fall's rifle hunt ends on Oct. 25.
The rifle deer hunt will be shorter on five units in Utah this fall. The hunt on the units runs for only three days.
Units in the following regions are open for only three days of rifle deer hunting this year: Northern Region-Cache unit, Ogden unit, Central Region, Oquirrh-Stansbury unit, Northeastern Region, South Slope, Vernal unit; Southern Region-Monroe unit.
The rifle hunt on the five units runs Oct. 23 to 25.
While approving rules for Utah's 2010 hunts, members of the Utah Wildlife Board decided to shorten the season on the units. They made their decision after learning about the number of bucks per 100 does on the five units.
Utah's statewide deer management plan says action must be taken to increase the number of bucks per 100 does on units that fall below an average of 15 bucks per 100 does for three straight years.
A map and boundary description for each of the five units is available at http://go.usa.gov/xLQ.
What about the other units in Utah? If you're over 18 years of age, your deer hunt on the remaining units in Utah will also be shorter. On the remaining units, the hunt runs Oct. 23 to 27 for those over 18 years of age. For those who are 18 years of age or younger, the hunt on the remaining units runs Oct. 23 to 31.
For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801)538-4700.

Hi, bcc
I'm not sure, but I'm thinking you'll stay logged in longer if you check the keep me logged in box before actually logging in. If I'm not mistaken, the timeout is something like 15 minutes. For those really long posts, it's probably best to create them in a text editor, then copy/paste them into the forum.
Note too, that there are some previous threads regarding this subject that you might want to check out in this section of the forums.
Thanks for the feedback.

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.

Valiant for Truth - The Christian life
Office Hours talks with Dr. David M. VanDrunen, Robert B. Strimple Professor of Systematic Theology and Christian Ethics, about the importance of wisdom.
I can distinctly remember entering the hospice room and hearing the medical machinery around the bed whir, beep, and make barely audible noises that indicated that the old man lying before me was alive.
Within the Reformed community people place a high premium upon theological learning and knowledge. On the one hand, I think this is a good thing. There are far too many Christians who barely know their Bibles.
Office Hours starts as series called "Wisdom and the Christian life," by talking with Dr. W. Robert Godfrey, President of WSC and Professor of Church History. Dr. Godfrey gives an introduction to what wisdom is, and how Christians are to think about wisdom.
I think poor time management is one of the biggest challenges for pastors. Unlike some jobs, where there is a regular routine (say, a garbage man, one who drives the same route most days at the same time and through the same neighborhoods), a pastor's schedule can vary from week to week.

A Resolution
The week of and the week following what would have been NYC Marathon week, I was obsessed with the "what ifs". What if they don't give us a refund? What if they only allow runners to run next year's marathon? What if? What if? WHAT IF?
My obsessing stopped when the holidays took over and I just decided it will all work out in the end. Well, today 2012 runners received an email from NYRR explaining our options.
Option #1: A refund
Option #2: Guaranteed entry to the ING NYC Marathon in 2013, 2014 OR 2015. Must pay for marathon.
Option #3: Guaranteed entry to the NYC Half Marathon in 2013. Must pay for race.
Which option would you choose? I have two different game plans. I am already in the lottery for the NYC Half Marathon and would love to get into the race that way. If I do then I'll do the refund. If I don't get into the NYC Half Marathon then I'm choosing option #3.
Why am I not choosing option #2? The hubs and I hope to be baking baby #2 next Fall and I don't know what 2014 or 2015 hold for me. I just don't feel I can commit to the NYC Marathon two to three years away. That's a long time and I'll be 38! YOWZERS!
Could you commit to a marathon two to three years from now? Am I crazy for not choosing option #2?December 20, 2012
This entry was posted in Marathon, NYC, Running and tagged marathon, NYC Marathon, NYRR, resolution, run, running.
One Response to A Resolution
I can't imagine committing to do a marathon in three years. So much can happen that I'd hate to risk it. I can barely decide if I want to do a marathon in the fall. I'm a cheapskate and would probably take the refund. I think you know what's right for you.

These pictures remind me of one of my favorite quotes from my favorite author.
"For a moment they kissed and clung to one another, quite forgetting all the world; for no matter how lost and soiled and worn-out wandering sons may be, mothers can forgive and forget everything as they fold them in their loving arms. Happy the son whose faith in his mother remains unchanged and who, through all his wanderings, has kept some filial token to repay her brave and tender love". ~ Louisa May Alcott, Little Men

Hobart Pipemaster 90 Low Alloy Stick Electrode - E9010-G - 5/32" X 14" - 50 lb Can - S116851-035
Hobart Pipemaster 90 Low Alloy Stick Electrode - E9010-G - 5/32" X 14" - 50 lb Can - S116851-035 Pipemaster 90 is designed for welding high-yield strength pipe out-of-position applications for use in harsh artic and/or desert environments. Pipemaster 90 meets the requirements of AWS 5.5 low alloy electrode specifications and pipeline API Code 1104. It is recommended for welding any 5L material from X65 to X80 steel pipe. Pipemaster 90 has a smooth, yet forceful arc that provides good penetration and fusion with excellent control. Its superior wetting characteristics offer freedom from internal undercutting with practically no slag, which minimizes slag entrapment. Although Pipemaster 90 can be used in any welding position, it is especially outstanding in the verticaldown position for welding pipe joints. As with all Pipemaster electrodes, Pipemaster 90 has excellent operator appeal with low spatter levels and easy slag removal for quick clean-up. APPLICATIONS: High-yield X65, X70 and X80 pipe steels; drill platforms; storage tanks; shipbuilding and construction industries. CONFORMANCES AND APPROVALS: • AWS A5.5, E9010-G • ASME SFA 5.5, F-3, A-10, E9010-G • Federal Bureau of Roads Specifications: Data Sheet Pipemaster90.pdf
