I started watching Downton Abby with Jen recently. This is funnier.
So Busy That I MUST Pray
Sometimes prayer can feel like a waste of time. Surely I'm not the only one who feels like this. I've got a lot of stuff to do. I've got books that I need to read,sermons to prepare, kids to play with, diapers to change, and television to watch (Downton Abbey is a long series). When I'm praying it feels like I'm not doing anything. Like I'm just sitting around. Like nothing is happening. I need to get moving on my day and start getting things done.
But then I read quotes like the this one by Martin Luther:
Martin Luther, when once asked what his plans, for the following day were, answered: ?Work, work, from early until late. In fact, I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.?
If anyone was busy, it was Martin Luther. That guy was leading a spiritual revolution! He was preaching, writing, pastoring, translating the Bible into German, being a dad, and being a husband. He was incredibly, overwhelmingly busy. His calendar was always full. And yet, in spite of his incredible workload, he found it absolutely necessary to pray. He had to meet with God before he met with the cares of the day. He would not dive into his day without first being refreshed by the Lord. He knew that he couldn't serve the Lord well without first asking God for help.
Jesus was an even greater example of the necessity of prayer. Jesus was given the task of being our savior! He was constantly swamped with people and with ministry opportunities. He was constantly being pressed on every side by needy people. And yet he always carved out time to meet with his Father. He would pray through the night. He would set aside ministry opportunities so that he could spend more time seeking God's face.
Prayer can be tough for me. I'm not a prayer warrior, or Jedi intercessor, or anything like that. I get easily distracted, and now that I have three little girls, my time is even more stretched. I have a lot of different things that need to be done. But I know that I need to pray. I need to meet with God, be strengthened by God, receive wisdom from God, cast my cares on God, and cling to God. If I'm going to serve my family well, I need to pray. If I'm going to serve my church well, I need to pray. If I'm going to serve my wife well, I need to pray.
The Bible seems to indicate that fruitful service to God flows out of consistent dependence on God. I want to be fruitful. I need to be dependent.
Don't Let The Manipulators Make You Stingy
Some TV evangelists solicit money like they?re selling Slice-O-Dice-O-Matics or Incredible Dirt-Be-Gone-Ice-Cream-Maker-Diaper-Changers.
?Send your faith seed of $19.95 today and we?ll send you The Amazing Prayer Cloth! ?Yes, the Amazing Prayer Cloth, embroidered with ?footprints in the sand,? is a handy 6? by 6? and fits perfectly inside your Bible. ?The Amazing Prayer Cloth not only will heal you, but is great for cleaning filthy conscience guilt buildup, as well as charcoal grills and computer screens. ?Call now, and we?ll send you a second Amazing Prayer Cloth absolutely FREE (just pay shipping and handling of $499)! ?But wait, there?s more…?
Because of all the manipulation on Christian TV, I'm hesitant at times to encourage people to give to God.? But God unashamedly tells us to be generous and to expect him to bless us lavishly.? We shouldn't let the manipulators make us stingy.
God wants us to be generous like he is, the one who gave his only Son for us. ?Like Christ, who emptied himself to make us rich. Jesus says, ?Give to everyone who asks of you.?
Obviously, we need to use discernment, but we should reflect our heavenly Father?s generosity. ?Here are three reasons:
Generosity honors God.
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker,
but he who is generous to the needy honors him. ?(Proverbs 14:31)
Generosity brings thanks to God.
You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. ?For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. ?(2 Corinthians 9:11-12)
Generosity focuses our hope on God.
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share…(1 Tim 6.17-18).
Generosity helps us set our hope on God, not money or things, which are here today and gone tomorrow. ?When we give generously we say, ?Lord, I give my money away, because I believe you are generous and lavish and will richly provide anything that is good for me.?
God doesn?t owe us, but promises to bless us when we give. If we sow we?ll reap. ?And God gives us a measure of determination in how much we reap. Sow generously, reap generously. ?Not that we always reap exactly what we sow. ?Give a dollar, you might not get ten back. ?But Jesus will give you joy. And that?s better than money any day. ?And it?s way better than The Amazing Prayer Cloth.
Are You Perpetually Insecure?
It is possible to live the Christian life always straining for something more and always dissatisfied and guilty because you haven?t attained it.
It could be your own perception of your love for God, or gratitude for the gospel. Other people seem so much more deeply affected by God than you are ? they even tear up when they talk about something they learned in their devotions. So you pray for more love and gratitude, but all the while a subterranean river of doubt gnaws at your soul. What?s wrong with me?
It could be your sense of worth or value to your church. You want to be used by God, so you look for opportunities to minister, to lead in discussion or prayer ? and yet you never feel God?s pleasure in your actions, only a restless sense of dissatisfaction coupled with a fear of those more gifted than you and a constant analysis of your own performance. Am I doing well enough?
It could be your overall sanctification. You know you need to grow in humility when you?re corrected, or patience with your kids, or selflessness towards your wife. But instead of faith for the change process you simply feel overwhelmed with a spiritual to-do list. There is no joy in your relationship with God or spontaneous worship arising from your soul. If you dared to articulate your subconscious prayer to God, it would be something like this: Just give me a little longer and I?ll get this fixed.
All of these struggles have a common theme, a non-biblical but very descriptive word: insecurity. Security, according to one dictionary, is ?the assurance that something of value will not be taken away.? Insecurity, by contrast, is a perpetual fear that you are about to lose something valuable or experience something negative. If we translate insecurity into biblical language, it is a false refuge or false savior in place of God. My performance is my refuge, not the sovereign, almighty Lord, and so I must perpetually prop up the crumbling walls of my performance castle. It?s a vicious cycle.
So what?s the solution? How do we get off the treadmill of insecurity? Two things: repent of the idolatry, and believe the promises of God. Let?s analyze the second one.
Insecurity always takes the promises and benefits of the gospel ? joy in God, peace, forgiveness of sins ? and makes them like apples high in the boughs of the tree which only the ladder of performance can reach. Yes, the gospel is good news ? and if I could just make myself climb one step higher up this ladder I?d be able to enjoy it! But we never feel like we?re high enough on the ladder, so we?re perpetually insecure, never able to believe and enjoy the promises of God and the blessings of the gospel.
The glory of the gospel is that God brings the blessings to us, exactly where we?re at.
At some point our hearts must take refuge in this: though I will always be in process, God wants me to believe and enjoy the blessings of the gospel now. The happiness of the man whose sins aren?t counted against him (Romans 4:8) is meant for me right now, for this morning?s sin that I confessed but still feel guilty about.
Insecurity is a deadly way to live your life. It saps the energy, joy, and life out of your soul. Sometimes it feels godly when you?re insecure about spiritual things, but it?s not. It?s a sin. Believing the promises of God cuts the heart out of insecurity by placing our feet on a solid foundation ? not our performance, but Christ?s ? and an unshakeable refuge ? the Lord Himself.
Are you perpetually insecure? Then repent and believe the gospel afresh!
Prayer Revolution Week 4 – Pray For Your Church
?They will work spiritual revolutions through their mighty praying.? –E.M. Bounds
Three weeks ago, we encouraged everyone to join us in praying to God for a revolution in the world, our country and our localities. ?The first week our focus was to pray for God?s kingdom rule to come to the world; the second week our focus was the persecuted church. ?Last week we focused on praying for the United States and our own localities. ?This week we want to pray for our church.
Paul regularly interceded for churches. ?In almost every one of his letters he shares how he thanks and prays for each of the churches. ?For example in Ephesians 1 Paul prays:
I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might. ?(Ephesians 1:16-19)
Paul prayed the Ephesians would know Christ more, have a deeper hope of seeing Jesus, realize that the saints are God?s inheritance and be assured of God?s infinite power toward his them.
Let?s pray for our local churches this week. ?Here are some suggested prayers:
Lord Jesus, thank you for the grace you?ve poured out upon our church. ?All glory goes to you for every good thing in our church, for you have accomplished it all.
Thank you for giving us love for you and for one another. Thank you for the grace of serving you?ve given our church. Thank you for all your care, protection and provision over the years. Thank you for leading us and guiding us into sound doctrine and giving us an understanding of the Gospel.
Please let us grow in the knowledge of you. Please open the eyes or hearts to see the height, width, breadth, and depth of your love for us, your incomparable power toward us, and the hope of our calling. Cause us to abound in thankfulness and love.
Please pour out your Holy Spirit on us, and give us gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. Let us all say every Sunday, ?Surely the Lord is among us.?
Please cause us to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel and bear much fruit for you. ?Please help us to worship you wholeheartedly with our lives and our mouths. Please let us bring you glory, Jesus. Please use us to share the gospel with thousands and please bring thousands into the kingdom through us.
Please save every child, young and old, of every family in the church. ?Give every parent grace and wisdom. ?Bless the Children?s Ministry – every teacher and helper and child. ?Thank you for everyone who serves in this way.
Please bless the single adults, and college students in our church. ?Use them for your glory.
Please pour out healing on everyone in our church who is sick. ?Please provide our daily bread – provide jobs for all who need them.
Please deliver us from sin and temptation. Please keep us pure, holy and humble. Please cause our love and affection for one another to abound and overflow.
Please help, guide, anoint and protect our pastors and raise up many more laborers for the harvest, and leaders in our church. Please give us many more servants and children's ministry teachers and workers.
Let's pray for God to do great things for his own glory.? He's lavish and generous and does far more than week can think, ask or imagine.
Does Your Religion Travel With You?
People are quick to spot hypocrisy.
Nothing has done more harm to the faith than those who claim to be Christians but don't live it. Peter tells us that we should do good and live exemplary lives as servants of God before a watching world:
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. (1 Peter 2:15-16)
Charles Spurgeon puts it this way – our religion should travel with us.
"A Christian cannot live by a double standard but lives to say, 'If I pray, I will also act. If I go to the house of God and profess to love God, I love him everywhere. I take my religion into the shop, behind the counter, and into the office.'? If it does not travel with us, God knows it is not religion at all."
We never know who is watching us.? What do our lives say about the God we believe in?? Are we cheerful?? Are we servants?? Are we generous?? Are we holy?? Or do we grumble?? Do we join in office gossip?? Do we join in impure conversations?? Would our classmates or neighbors see anything different about us?? Are our neighbors glad we are their neighbors?
So for God's glory, let's take our faith with us to work and school, to the coffee shop and the grocery store.? Our religion should travel with us.
How To Receive Criticism Like A Champ (Part 2)
If you read last week's post on receiving criticism, I?m sure it changed your life and you are now the most humble person you know, desirous of the correction and input of others.
You freely admit, ?I?m not smarter than a fifth-grader and I'm a worse sinner.? ?You now view everyone who critiques you as a valuable friend. ??Thank you for smiting me in love,? you gush when corrected.
Well, we?ll keep trying. ?Like I said last week, I don?t love being corrected. ?But Jesus can help us grow. ?Here are a few more suggestions.
- Don't be quick to defend yourself. ?Hey I thwacked Junior on the head with my iPad because he had a bad attitude!? ?Don?t make excuses: ?Well, I didn?t actually lie. ?It was theater. ?You know, drama. ?I just exaggerated a little bit for effect.? ?Sometimes it?s fine to offer reasons for our actions, but defensiveness usually comes from pride.
- Don?t write someone off because they fail to deliver criticism perfectly. ?Hey! ?You corrected me harshly! ?Your stinking attitude invalidates all you said.? ?Even if they sin, make your primary focus your failure, not theirs. ?You can talk about their sin some other time.
- Ask clarifying questions. Don?t require them to produce video footage, finger prints, and DNA evidence before you accept what they say, but if they have some examples that could help you see more clearly, welcome them.
- Watch your facial expression and body language. I know, your face feels like it?s going to crack into a thousand pieces. ?Don?t sit there with your arms crossed and an ?I dare you to say something negative? scowl on your face. ?Try not to start breathing heavily when someone is correcting you, like a snorting bull. ?Remember, you?re trying to make it easy for them.
- If you see what they?re saying, acknowledge it. James says, ?Confess your sins to one another.? ?Say, ?You?re right, honey. ?I should not have thwacked Junior on the head with my iPad. ?I was angry and that was sin. ?Junior, would you please forgive Daddy for his anger and for thwacking you on the head? ?I won?t thwack you any more. ?And anyway, my iPad?s broken now.?
- If you can?t see what someone is saying, don?t immediately write it off. You could say, ?I?m having a hard time seeing what you?re saying right now, but I certainly could be wrong. ?I know I have blind spots.?? Another thing you can do is ask others if they have observed the same thing.? Good chance if one person has seen a weakness or fault of yours, others have too (thanks Julian Freeman for this addition!).
- Ask them to please point it out again if you do it again. Because most likely you will.
Bottom line – we all need correction, input, reproof, adjustment, suggestions and help. ?A wise man or woman grows wiser by receiving these from others. ?OK, now go out there and get criticized!
How To Change the World One Day At A Time
If you were to choose one thing to do on a daily or weekly basis, something that you thought would have the greatest impact on the world not just in your life but over the long haul ? what would you do?
I?m not even going to attempt to list what some of the possible answers might be (there are too many of them), nor to rank or evaluate their relative merits. But I do want to suggest one that might seem too mundane to make the list, or at the least wouldn?t be our first response. If you want to change the world, teach children the gospel.
Surprised? I was struck by this thought while reading the book Martin Luther: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought by Stephen Nichols. In 1529, as Luther was touring Germany and visiting churches that had sprung up in the aftermath of the Reformation, he was dismayed by the poor spiritual condition of many of the young congregations he observed. His solution? Write a catechism to train pastors and a catechism to train children. The latter, called The Small Catechism, was one of two books that Luther considered his most important writings (this from a man whose translated writings fill fifty-five volumes). But Luther was convinced that training the next generation was crucial to insuring that the preaching of the gospel would continue long after his life. ?The youth is the church?s nursery and fountainhead,? he wrote. ?I admonish you parents, [that if] you do not help, we shall accomplish little with our preaching? (quoted on p.163 and 164 of Nichol?s biography).
So let?s return to our starting question. Do you want to change the world for the better? In particular, as a Christian, do you want to change the church for the better, to give your life to something that will ensure healthy, gospel-preaching churches for years to come? Then train children to know, love, and cherish the gospel. Only God can cause their salvation, but He uses means. ?How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?? (Romans 10:14)
Parents, breakfast table devotions or bedtime Scripture stories may not seem like a big deal ? but they are the seeds from which men and women planted deep in streams of living water grow. Children?s ministry teachers and workers, an hour on Sunday mornings trying to keep the attention of a dozen 5-year olds, follow a lesson plan, and keep Goldfish crackers from being ground into the carpet might seem like wasted time ? but you are pioneering mission work among people who are only just beginning to know the name of Christ.
So let us train our children and teach our classes, for the glory of our God and the gratitude of future generations who will themselves hear gospel from these little ones in our care!

Prayer Revolution Week 3: Pray For The United States
?They will work spiritual revolutions through their mighty praying.? –E.M. Bounds
Two weeks ago, we encouraged everyone to join us in praying to God for a revolution in the world, our country and our localities. The first week our focus was to pray for God?s kingdom rule to come to the world; last week our focus was the persecuted church. ?This week we want to focus on praying for the United States and our own localities.
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4)
Paul urges that we intercede for all people in a variety of ways – supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings. ?Why? ?Because Jesus ?desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.?
Think of how much time so many invest in politics watching the pundits on TV, discussing politics, or working in the political arena. ?None of this is wrong. ?But if we spent as much time praying for our leaders as we do criticizing or promoting them, imagine what God would do.
Here are some suggestions for prayer:
O Lord God, Please save multitudes in the United States. Please glorify the name of Jesus by redeeming and transforming millions. ?Let thanksgiving and praise ascend to your Name in every place. ?Please open doors for the gospel and let it go forth in great power to every man, woman and child in this nation. ?Please send laborers into the harvest.
Please pour out your Holy Spirit in a mighty way. ?Holy Spirit, please convict multitudes in this country of sin, righteousness and judgment (JN 16:8). ?Cause millions to realize they are sinners, guilty before a Holy God. ?Convict multitudes that they are not righteous and need the righteousness of Christ. ?Convict millions of judgment to come and cause them to turn to Jesus for salvation from God?s judgment.
Please save Barack Obama, his wife and children. ?Please save our Senators, Representatives, and Supreme Court Judges. ?Save thousands of advisors and staff members in Washington, D.C. ?Please give our leaders wisdom and cause them to promote righteousness and life. Please cause our government to remain favorable to the Church and the gospel and continue to grant us peace and religious freedom.
Please bring an end to abortion in this nation. ?Please cause multitudes to turn to you for forgiveness – doctors who have performed abortions, men who have encouraged them, women who have had them. ?Please change millions and millions of hearts on this issue.
Let?s pray fervently every day this week for our nation. ?If multitudes prayed for even 5 minutes each, that would be a lot of prayer. ?God hears the prayers of his people and acts upon them!

We all like to think that we're rational…
Rational Financial Behavior
by Gary Foreman

How to Waste Money
Before You Buy, Think Different
Mind Over Money
We all like to think that we're rational human beings and our decisions are based on facts and logic. After all, that's what intelligent people do. At least that's what we think they do.
It turns out that there's a pretty healthy controversy about that. For years, economists at the University of Chicago have promoted the view that people consider all the relevant facts and then make decisions based on what serves them best. They've even reduced many decisions to mathematical formulas.
Other economists say that humans can't possibly include all the relevant information in their decisions. There's just too much data for any person to rationally evaluate.
I think that both schools may be partially right. Let me relate a recent personal shopping experience to illustrate. I was in the market for a TV. I spent part of an afternoon researching the different models and pricing available, using both newspaper ads and online tools. Then I headed out to two local retailers to see what I could find. With a little negotiation, I got what I felt was a pretty good deal with the second local store.
Was it the absolute best (i.e. most rational) choice for me? That's hard to say. It is possible that there was a cheaper price or more full featured model available somewhere, but spending more time and energy searching for it didn't seem worth the effort.
Rational? I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted and what I would have to pay to get it. I shopped and negotiated to get the best price possible. Seems rational.
Yet, there was an emotional element involved. I was anxious to replace the TV that had failed. It was one that I watched almost daily, so I really didn't want to be without it for very long.
Again, was it a rational buying decision? Probably so. Emotion was part of the choice, but it didn't dominate the decision. I might not have gotten the absolute best TV or lowest price, but was probably pretty close.
Let's ask a different question. Will everyone arrive at the same rational conclusion? Is it possible for something to seem rational to you while seeming irrational to me?
For instance, if you're struggling to pay the rent, does it make sense to have cable TV? Or why are most lottery tickets sold in low-income neighborhoods? Cable TV might seem like a luxury (and compared to food it is), but if you're unemployed, TV might be your only escape from troubling thoughts. Or that lottery ticket might be a way to keep hope alive for a family that's never had much money or hope.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating cable TV or lottery tickets. Nor am I condemning them. Just trying to make the point that we won't all define rationality the same way.
OK, so what does this mean to me? How does this affect my daily finances? It's an opportunity to evaluate how you make purchases and other financial decisions. It's a chance to consciously choose what things to include in your decision making.
By doing so, you might find that some of your choices have been overly emotional. You might identify some patterns or emotions that lead you to poor choices. It's even possible that you'll take a second look at what should go into a "rational" financial decision.
You'll also want to consider the assumptions that you used to make a decision. For instance, as gas prices rise, you might think that getting a newer, more fuel efficient car would make financial sense, but a little math could show that it will take many years and thousands of gallons of saved gas to pay for the new ride. It might seem like a rational decision, but if you look at the underlying assumptions, you find it's not rational at all.
We all like to think that we're making sound, rational decisions, but the truly rational thing to do is to periodically take a close look at how you make decisions. And, in so doing, make sure that your decisions truly do take your best interests into account.

This stunning sculpture depicts the Buddha's flower sermon in which he wordlessly held up a lotus flower to his followers as a teaching of the dharma. The Buddha is seated on a beautiful double lotus base infused with many Vietnamese designs. He is dressed in winter robes that cover his whole body. One hand is holding a lotus flower up for his followers to see and the other is in his lap in a meditation position. The Buddhas face is calm and serene. The sculpture is carved in two pieces, the Buddha and the base. The milky coloring the stone adds to the ethereal beauty of the sculpture.
The Flower Sermon: Toward the end of his life, the Buddha took his disciples to a quiet pond for instruction. As they had done so many times before, the Buddha's followers sat in a small circle around him, and waited for the teaching. But this time the Buddha had no words. He reached into the muck and pulled up a lotus flower. And he held it silently before them, its roots dripping mud and water.
The disciples were greatly confused. Buddha quietly displayed the lotus to each of them. In turn, the disciples did their best to expound upon the meaning of the flower: what it symbollized, and how it fit into the body of Buddha's teaching. When at last the Buddha came to his follower Mahakasyapa, the disciple suddenly understood. He smiled and began to laugh. Buddha handed the lotus to Mahakasyapa and began to speak.
"What can be said I have said to you," smiled the Buddha, "and what cannot be said, I have given to Mahakashyapa."
The flower sermon shows the Buddhist belief of understanding through direct experience rather than through reading of creeds and doctrine.

Shumlin: Little impact from federal health extensionBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | November 15,2013MONTPELIER President Barack Obamas decision Thursday to allow the extension of existing health insurance policies for a year is unlikely to have much impact on Vermonters, said Gov. Peter Shumlin.
The state had already decided to allow individuals and small businesses to extend their current health insurance plans through March 31 to ensure people have coverage while problems are worked out with the Vermont Health Connect website.
Shumlin spoke Thursday with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont President Don George and MVP Health Care Vice President Bill Little.
We remain confident in that time-frame and believe it will provide Vermonters the security and options they need as we continue to improve Vermont Health Connect and implement the federally mandated reforms, the three said in a joint statement issued by the governors office.
Of course, as the White House provides more information on the federal changes announced today by the president, we will continue to work together, and with lawmakers and our congressional delegation, to understand any further implications for Vermont, they said. But at this time, we remain confident that the course we are on is the right one.
The comments came hours after the president said his administration no longer would require insurance companies to jettison current individual and small group plans that fall short of the minimum coverage standards of the Affordable Care Act.
As of Thursday, 3,746 people had chosen a health insurance plan through the Vermont Health Connect website, up 345 from the previous day. It was the third consecutive day the state offered sign-up updates, with each day showing significant progress in the number of people successfully signed up for health insurance through the website.
Meanwhile, Financial Regulation Commissioner Susan Donegan said her department has received reports of Vermonters being targeted by phone scammers claiming to be selling health insurance in order to obtain personal information.

When it's clear the man has slipped beyond the edge of reason and perhaps signed a deal with the devil, the citizens unite to stop him any way they can, breaking into the church to lash the reverend to his wooden alter cross then boarding up the windows and doors to leave him to fate and God's judgment. The people of Oak Valley then abandoned their town to the cornfields and woods; ending the madness for what they hoped was forever. They were wrong! Seventy-four years later, the corn and trees have taken back the area and not much is left of the once thriving little community but Joshua Miller's desecrated church still stands, and within its boarded up and sun-baked walls something that used to be a holy man waits for whoever is unfortunate enough to release him from his cross...

Self-evaluation the key to Gayle and Steyn's success in T20
There is no question about it. Twenty20 cricket is a game of confidence. When we look at the way Chris Gayle bats in T20, this point is brought home forcefully. Gayle is by far the best batsman in the format today. Or then take the case of Dale Steyn, easily the best fast bowler in all forms of the game at present. They not only make the games fun to watch, but they also make the playing of it look easy because of their supreme confidence.
Though it may look like they play effortlessly, the fact is that Gayle and Steyn have worked very diligently and sincerely at getting their game to a level where they can play instinctively. Just like a good surgeon makes a complicated procedure look a matter of daily routine to the uninitiated, players like Gayle and Steyn, confident players, make cricket look easy and fun. But there is great deliberation and thought involved in their success.
First of all, for any player to be confident, it is important for him to have the basic skill set to be successful. After working at getting the skills to perform under pressure, it is vital to trust what you have trained. Otherwise it is like owning a Ferrari but not being confident enough to drive it in traffic. When you know that you have the skills necessary to face bowlers like Steyn or for bowlers to be able to bowl to batsmen of Gayle's capabilities, it becomes important to know your own game. This means keeping ones ego aside and being clear about the limits of your capabilities; and then staying within those limits.
This is where the mind comes into play. When we watch Gayle bat initially, he is quite content, contrary to the needs of T20 cricket, to just spend time on the pitch and even let balls go to the keeper. This is because he knows that even with his ability, and even for a batsman of his stature, it is important to gain judgement of the pitch and the bowlers. He is confident that once he spends enough time in the middle, then who is bowling to him doesn't matter. The same holds true for Steyn. We always see him get comfortable at the crease by bowling proper conventional stuff. Good line, good length, like he would do in a Test match. And with the movement that he gets at high speeds, it seems as if a batsman is playing for survival even in a T20 game.
As a batsman, in T20 cricket, it makes everything simple if you start to middle the ball right from the beginning. It instantly puts the fielding side and also the bowler on the defensive. For a bowler, the ideal outcome when he bowls in this format is to be able to bowl a couple of dot balls and so put pressure on the batter. Players who know this fact are usually the ones who are more experienced. The majority of players doing very well in T20 are very solid Test cricketers like Gayle, Michael Hussey, Sachin Tendulkar, Mahela Jayawardene, Steyn, Jacques Kallis, Azhar Mahmood and Virat Kohli, to name a few. Apart from these proven names, cricketers like Dinesh Karthik and Ajinkya Rahane are consistent too. For them, being with the Indian team for a period of time is a big confidence booster.
India's up and coming youngsters like Unmukt Chand need to realise that the IPL for them is a very real stepping stone to international cricket. Right now, they should learn to ignore the things that go on in the periphery and to focus solidly on getting to know their own game and gaining experience. This for them is the time to quietly build self-confidence, which comes from working on the basic skills, and then learning to trust those skills under pressure. Because as shown clearly by Gayle and Steyn, confidence in one's own ability and being able to know how to get the best out of yourself is the difference between doing well and being very successful.

Property hand-over procedures after construction – What needs to be considered?
Sep 02, 2010 | Comments 4
Upon completion of construction works, a seller or contractor usually wishes to swiftly hand-over the completed property to its buyer and thereby trigger further payment obligations of the buyer. At the same time, a buyer may wish to thoroughly verify that all works have been performed and completed as agreed and a good quality product free of defects and faulty work constructed which may take some time. In order to address these conflicting interests, it is advisable for both parties to agree on proper written hand-over procedures which can be described under carefully drafted sale and purchase or construction agreements. This usually helps to minimize the risk of dispute over defects or non-conformities which may adhere to a property. Nevertheless, the importance of proper hand-over procedures are often overlooked or neglected at the time of executing the required sales documentation.
In practice, when a seller or contractor deems its contractual obligations as completed, he will send a completion notice upon the buyer advising completion of the construction works including invoice requesting final or further payment.
At this point it is helpful if the parties have executed legal documentation providing a clear and detailed guideline what steps shall be taken with regards to hand-over, delivery and acceptance of delivery of a property upon its completion.
Such guideline usually requires the seller or contractor to send a completion notice upon the buyer requesting inspection of the property within specified period of time and at the same time providing the buyer or its appointed representative with an opportunity to verify that the seller or contractor has fulfilled its contractual obligations. The seller or contractor should attend to the buyer´s inspection and assist the buyer with drawing up a report specifically describing any defect or non-conformity and a date until when such defect or non-conformity shall be remedied. This report should be issued in two identical sets, each signed by both parties. This stage of a purchase is often called practical completion; any payment due "on completion" should be "suspended" until the property is ready for move-in and completed in accordance with the relevant contracts and all applicable laws and regulations (save minor defects).
In practice, it is not unusual that a buyer who is not familiar with construction matters wishes to appoint a professional to assist with the hand-over and related matters. Therefore, it should be clarified under the relevant sales documentation that the buyer shall have the right to appoint a professional building inspector at his own expense. In case of dispute over existence of a defect, the parties may further agree that an independent inspector shall be consultant which determination shall be final and binding, whereby the party, whose opinion has been dismissed by the independent building inspector, shall become solely responsible for payment of the expenses incurred.
However, it is important, that both parties understand and ideally agree in writing that simple attendance of a buyer to inspection and formal "handover" of the property, must not be deemed as accepting "delivery" of the (completed) property. Acceptance of delivery, should take place once a proper defect list has been prepared on handover, any defects listed thereon cured and a further document, stating acceptance of delivery, signed by the buyer.
For the event that it appears that a seller or contractor is unable or unwilling to remedy substantial defects or non conformities, the executed agreements should provide an appropriate mechanism for such case which could include a right for the buyer to refuse acceptance of delivery of the property and to withhold all outstanding payments (without being in breach of contract) until full remedy (retention) which shall be caused within agreed period of time. In addition, the buyer could be provided with a right to appoint a third party contractor to complete the property and remedy defects or non-conformities at the expense of the seller or contractor in the event that the seller or contractor failed to complete or remedy within the agreed time schedule.
To summarize, it's advisable that parties agree on proper hand-over procedures as they help to avoid confusion regarding the parties' responsibilities at the time of completion and delivery of a property, provide both parties appropriate instruments required to protect their interests, and ultimately minimize the risk of dispute.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Center Andrew Bynum has been ejected from the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the New York Knicks for arguing a foul call.
Bynum became infuriated Sunday night after referee Leon Wood called a foul on him while defending Amare Stoudemire.
Bynum stepped into Wood's path with his arms outstretched while the official walked toward the scorers' table, earning the first technical foul. When Bynum kept arguing, Wood tossed him.
Bynum had an outstanding game against the Knicks before his ejection, with 18 points and seven rebounds in a strong low-post performance.

... Plus, this is a perk for paying the sponsorship!
We went live in recent weeks. School has been on its knees since. Functionality of Progresso is full of bugs and errors, and we are seriously disappointed with both the product and the service.
i could not recommend Progresso, there is a serious amount of work still to be done with this product.
Connectivity is poor, often very slow.
seen no efficiency gains since facility.
very few reports - extracting information is near impossible!
Not good!
I understand the frustration of those that are eager to get on and start benefiting from the advanced features of Progresso. The decision to delay transition of schools is not one that has been taken lightly and I would like to take this opportunity to explain why and what this means.
We have been running a Pioneer program with a number of early adopter schools to whom we are extremely grateful. During this Pioneer process we have identified a series of improvements to both product and process to make the adoption of Progresso for future schools run as smoothly as possible.
Key elements of this improvement program include:
Product enhancements directly requested from live schools
Additional Training courses to provide increased knowledge to end users
Improvements to the data transfer mechanism to allow for modifications to models to take immediate advantage of the advanced functionality in Progresso
In order to deliver this program and gather continual feedback from customers we decided to focus on the schools that are currently live and to restart the transition of schools in a phased approach.
To any schools that have posted on here and are experiencing difficulties please DM me and I will arrange the appropriate support.
We have attempted to contact all schools and are now on the second phase of call backs which will be completed by the end of this week.
vikpaw (20th September 2012)
Coupons & Promotions
Do these delays also cover schools wanting to move to Progresso from another system - SIMS etc
In our experience the majority of migration complexity is related to the transfer of legacy data & configurations and this is one of our key areas of focus to enable Facility customers to take advantage of Progresso without losing any of the advanced configurations they have setup in Facility.

Disappointed to read this thread. I had a meeting with a Progresso rep a few months ago - and then last week out of the blue I had another sales call. I asked how a neighbouring school was getting on so that I could visit and see it in action to be told they had not yet migrated. However, no mention of any issues with the product or migrations. Even had a follow up sales email. I don't think they should be actively recruiting new schools until at least some of the major problems are ironed out.
Similar story for us. Due to go in May, then August, then November, now "possibly" January. We realised things weren't right when we were testing in the summer and it couldn't even produce a correctly formatted timetable. Now going back to drawing board. Whole experience has been so bad (awful training provision) that we don't feel we can trust it.

For those schools that have experience of the transition process and have suggestions for improvement, please contact me directly so that I can discuss these with you. In the meantime, we are continuing to contact those schools affected to arrange the appropriate support.

The main reason I don't care for this necklace is because the lowercase "t" looks more like an "l". Also, it's bigger and chunkier that I thought it would be, but that's my fault for not noticing the measurements on the site. I would not call this delicate or feminine. Quality is good though. Wish it actually looked like a "t". I wouldn't have ordered if there was a picture available of all the letters.
Very delicate and feminine. This necklace is very good quality and comes in a nice tin case. Got this for a friend now for christmas and she just love it. Going to get this for all my friends now. Lovely!!!!
I haven't worn this necklace one time without getting - at least - one compliment - seriously! I absolutely love it. It fits perfectly and hits at just the right spot so it can be seen in the open neck area of shirts and tank tops. The colors are soft and it is so femine. One of my friends admired it so much I bought her one as a surprise gift; she hasn't take it off yet! Don't hesitate on making this purchase - it's a goodie - plus the necklace comes in a lovely, metal, round box with the same inital on the top. I use it to store safety pins but the applications are endless.
This necklace..... Is more then i expected...... I love it and I am going to order another one. Very nice, love the little tin box it comes in..... Great item over all. Thank you so much! This is a great gift for youself or anyone else. I bought it for my sister in law...... She is hard to buy for... but she is going to love this. Merry Christmas! Thanks again.
Just received this in the mail today and the shipping was very fast. I purchased this for the upcoming Christmas for a friend. The box that the necklace comes in is the letter of the name that you order. It is unique and different and in this area will be one of a kind for my friend. I haven't given this as a present yet but I think she will enjoy this little necklace.
Unique, personalized gift. It is very pretty and not something you see at regular stores. It was packaged nicely in a cute tin .... very cute and looks very well made.
I ordered this for my daughter and she loved it wears it with jeans and a shirt or dresses.
I gave this as a gift and it was a big hit. Very lovely and substantial piece.
It was a gift for a close friend! I always look for jewelry with the initial ( I) on it , hard to find. She loved it.
I bought this for my 20 yr old granddaughter and she absolutely loves it. Gets a lot of attention and compliments when she wears it.
