There is no denying that the cost of a college education has risen far more quickly than students and parents would like. As an institution whose mission is closely tied to providing opportunity to students—some of who might not otherwise be able to attend college—it is of great concern to us as well.
At the same time, all evidence suggests a college education has never been more important to success in life and in your career. We live in a knowledge economy.
Lyndon State College in-state tuition is among the lowest of all residential four year Vermont colleges. We have significant discounts for qualified students from New Hampshire and most of New York state. We also have an unusually large number of NEBHE-eligible programs that afford New Englanders a $6,000 savings in normal out-of-state tuition. For many of these students, a Vermont education can be comparable in cost to the in-state tuition they would pay at their own public college or university system.
When examining the tuition figures in this portion of the website, you should know that 85 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid. Be assured that our admissions, financial aid, and student services staff work closely with each student to see to it they get every financial advantage they are qualified to receive.

Once part of a prestigious campus, it was last owned by a club of gents with a shared passion for illegal spellcraft and dimensional exploration, who used it to hide their howling voids into the cosmos and also their pointy hats and anything else they didn't want their wives to find. They never did accomplish discovery of a new world- or never had the satisfaction of knowing they did- but did manage one highly impressive feat which was to tuck the Library sideways between dimensions when the police came 'round to investigate. This was about a hundred and ten years ago.The gentlemen, after their prison terms ended, never succeeded in summoning back the building. To that end they'd have to have known where it lay nearest to this world, and to their distress they were witne

Some can now be said on regular broadcast TV and all of them can be said on cable. Is there anything left for a new list? Would they all be politically incorrect words? I suspect, yes(depending on who said them, unfortuantely).

I find this very interesting that there is no difference between a caribou and a reindeer. I have heard of Christmas themed place and parks that have reindeer for people to see, but I never knew that these were actually caribou and always figured that reindeer were elusive animals that one could not hunt.
This of course begs the question as to how hard it is to domesticate a caribou. I see caribou or reindeer once in a while in pens and this leads me to believe that they may not be as hard as one thinks to domesticate.
I could be wrong on this and I wonder if a caribou is an animal that is simply domesticated rarely or is more of a zoo like animal that is an only look type of attraction?

Estancia Chardonnay
Estancia Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown in their Pinnacles Vineyard on the east side of the Salinas Valley at the base of the Gavilan Mountains, with additional fruit from the Santa Lucia Highlands to the west. The cool climate and sandy, well-drained soils keep yields low and fruit intensity high.
Appearance: Light straw gold in color.
Aroma: Fresh pear and crisp apple are accented by notes of honeydew with a touch of floral on the finish.
Flavor: Bright tropical notes and stone fruit compliment the vibrant nuances of citrus. Soft touches of toasty oak and cream accentuate the lingering, minerally finish.

You know, I am not getting any younger. It's a sad fact and something that I cannot get away from. I don't really use many anti-ageing products as most of my skincare is geared towards hydration more than anything else. And I honestly believe the best anti-ageing product one can have is a good sunscreen.
So when Clarins invited me to the launch of their reformulated, more advanced Double Serum, I was a little curious. I frequent Clarins a lot and love their moisturisers but I must admit that I tend to ignore their anti-ageing range. The Double Serum is not a new product and has been around for more than two decades. But Clarins has always been innovating and improving their products, hence the "new" Double Serum.
The full name of the product is actually Double Serum (Hydric + Lipidic System) Complete Age Control Concentrate. According to Clarins, the five vital functions at the heart of skin's youthful beauty lies in hydration, nutrition, oxygenation, protection and regeneration. These functions tend to slow down due to age, stress and environmental factors, which causes the skin to show visible signs of ageing.
The clever people at Clarins have identified 20 powerful plant extracts to help us combat ageing and have bottled the formula in a twin pump canister. This is to preserve the qualities of liposoluble and hydrosoluble ingredients (blurb from Clarins). The plant extracts will help stimulate the five skin functions and help retain skin's beauty.
What does this mean for me (and you) though? Well, I've been using the Double Serum since late September and started off my using it day and night. After a couple of weeks, I reduced the usage to night time only because I prefered to use other serums during the day. Within a few uses, my skin has shown some improvement and it feels smoother and softer. I'm not sure if it helps "preserve my youth" because I don't have many wrinkles to begin with, but I think it does plump up my skin and make it appear more radiant in the mornings.
The pump canister is supposed to deliver the optimum blend of both the oil and water formula. I usually use two to three pumps, rub my palms together and lightly spread and pat onto my face and neck. It takes about 2 minutes to sink in but I can't be bothered waiting before applying a moisturiser over. Although my skin feels a little sticky upon immediate application, it does go away when all the products on my face have been absorbed. There is a slight scent but it smells quite fresh and light, unlike some of the other more heavily perfumed Clarins products. So it doesn't bother me much.
So far, I have been rather pleased with the Double Serum and will continue using until the bottle runs out. I would most likely repurchase and at the rate Clarins is going, they would probably reinvent and repackage the Double Serum in another three or four years.
Each bottle of the Clarins Double Serum retails at RM280 for a 30ml bottle and is available at all local Clarins counters and boutiques.
Have you tried the Double Serum yet and do you like it? Do you use any anti-ageing treatments at the moment? I'm always open to ideas and would love to find out what you use.

Our founders, Luke and Eugene, met over beers at Pacific Standard on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn and discovered a shared love for storytelling and food. Inspired by This American Life, The Moth, and the numerous storytelling shows and podcasts circulating around New York, Luke wanted to find a way he could express his stories with the craft he was perfecting at the French Culinary Institute. Eugene had been running storytelling shows in New York for five years and had a feeling he and Luke could make it happen. Together, with the help of a dedicated bunch of friends, we cast, cooked, tasted, and designed the dual menu/playbill that became our first show's five course experiment. It never would have happened without the help of our dedicated friends Miguel de Leon, Caitlin MacCrae, Matthew Hannigan, Christina Ng, Cal Egan, Steven Berkowitz, Albert R. Matheny IV, Ariel Samach, Kaitlin Fritz, Stephanie Petagno, Emily Holleman, Sara Kinney, Kathleen Miller, Mark Winkel, and Ida Benedetto.

The Russian agency charged with safeguarding Kremlin communications has opted for a low-tech solution to secure top-secret messages in the wake of the NSA spy scandal: typewriters.
Izvestia reports that the Federal Guard Agency, known by the acronym FSO, has placed an order for $15,000 worth of electric typewriters.
Izvestia quotes an unnamed source in Russia:
"After scandals with the distribution of secret documents by WikiLeaks, the exposes by Edward Snowden, reports about [Russian Prime Minister] Dmitry Medvedev being listened in on during his visit to the G20 summit in London, it has been decided to expand the practice of creating paper documents."
The source said typewriters were already being used in Russia's defense and emergency ministries and that they also used to prepare select secret reports for President Vladimir Putin.
The retro approach to security has two distinct advantages — not only will it keep sensitive communications outside vulnerable computer networks, but since each typewriter has subtle and identifiable differences in typeface, it will make it easier to track down potential leakers.

The top five in The Associated Press college football poll has been rearranged for a second straight week, with Florida, Kansas State and Notre Dame moving up in the rankings.
No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon hold the top two spots for a fourth straight week. The changes came behind them, where the Gators move up one spot to No. 3, and the fourth-ranked Wildcats and fifth-ranked Fighting Irish both jump two places.
The shuffling comes after a second straight Saturday in which multiple top-five teams lost. South Carolina fell 23-21 at LSU on Saturday night and drops from No. 3 to No. 9.
West Virginia slides from No. 5 to No. 17 after getting routed 49-14 at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders move into the rankings at 18th.
Georgia and Clemson both climbed the poll in their bye weeks. The Bulldogs are up one spot to No. 13. The Tigers are up two to No. 14.
With a 7-0 start, Ohio enters the rankings at No. 25. The Bobcats haven't been in the top 25 since the final poll of the 1968 season.

Let's be honest with ourselves for a minute: driving sucks. It really does. Sure, driving some sexy car down the autobahn might sound like fun, but regular everyday driving is the worst. Fuel costs more than blood these days, there's traffic everywhere, and there's always the chance that some idiot driver or pedestrian could cause sudden onset vehicular manslaughter. Though, prison isn't so bad. You can make sangria in the toilet. Of course, it's shank or be shanked. But why worry about that when it's possible to be that stupid pedestrian who deserves to get hit, able to get around by living in a walkable neighborhood? That's what Walk Score is for
The app, using the Walk Score service, calculates a score of 0-100 that rates how well a place could be lived in without a car, primarily by walking. This is based on nearby stores, restaurants, and other places that make an area possible to live in without a car. It's possible to see the Walk Score based on current location, or based on searching for an address. Then, a list of nearby places can be viewed either on the map or on a list, which includes nearby public transportation. Any place listed in Walk Score offers directions, and a link to the Yelp page where applicable. The app has a second use: finding places to rent. It offers a handy map of available rentals, including ones from Craigslist, and it shows the Walk Score for each place. It's possible to narrow down based on factors like price, proximity to transit, and by minimum Walk Score, of course.
The only thing that really annoys me about the app is that while it shows places like restaurants and stores nearby, it only shows about a dozen or so listings for each category. Also, the app needs iPad support, us tablet owners want to walk too! For either current or aspiring city-dwellers who want to see what's around them, Walk Score is a free download well worth making for this app's convenience.

Renaissance Downtowns' efforts are rooted in the principles of smart growth, sustainability and locally-based economic development, using a comprehensive and holistic program to invest in the downtown with a goal of creating a vibrant, walkable destination neighborhood in collaboration with the community.
This approach represents a triple-bottom-line philosophy of social, economic and environmental sustainability, resulting in a revitalized downtown Hempstead that is once again a regional magnet for economic and cultural prosperity.
In order to achieve these goals, we plan on incorporating:
Smart Growth principles as defined by the Smart Growth Network, the Urban Land Institute, the Charter for the New Urbanism; green standards as defined by the U.S. Green Building Council; and local economic development principles as defined by Cooltown Studios:
- Principles of the Smart Growth Network
– The Charter for the New Urbanism
– U.S. Green Building Council LEED-ND green neighborhood design guidelines
– Cooltown Studios local economic development principles
Triple bottom line questions to ask:
Is the project financially viable to investors
Are construction jobs being sourced locally whenever feasible
Is housing being developed at prices that the local residents either can afford or are in favor of
Are enough job-creating businesses being attracted
Are placemaking principles (ie CNU Charter) being met to ensure a high quality of life
Are there enough well-supported public places to encourage a sense of community
Does the community feel they have a meaningful role in the development of the project
Are there enough places accommodating the growing market that wants to live car free
Are LEED-ND and LEED building certifications being met
Are there enough places accommodating the growing market that wants to live car free

Defendant Allegedly Arranged Distribution for the Hells Angels
ROBERT J. SHANNON, 38, of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, pleaded guilty this morning in U.S. District Court in Seattle to Conspiracy to Distribute Cocaine and Marijuana, and Conspiracy to Engage in Money Laundering. When SHANNON is sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik on March 13, 2009, he faces a mandatory minimum ten years in prison up to life in prison. At today's plea hearing Special Assistant United States Attorney Adam Cornell told the court he plans to seek a sentence "substantially above the mandatory minimum" because of the significant reach of the drug conspiracy, the large quantities of drugs involved, and SHANNON's high level of leadership.
According to the indictment originally filed in the case, SHANNON was in charge of distributing the narcotics on behalf of the Hells Angels Outlaw Motorcycle gang and others. SHANNON allegedly directed the smuggling activities. Drugs were hidden inside hollowed out logs on trucks, within the false walls of cargo containers and vehicles, within loads of commercial lumber and beauty bark, inside large PVC pipes, and within the interior of a propane tanker. Some loads were carried on foot across the international border between the United States and Canada.
Last month SHANNON's co-defendant Devron D. Quast, 38, of Abbotsford, British Columbia, pleaded guilty to Conspiracy to Distribute Cocaine and Marijuana and Conspiracy to Engage in Money Laundering. Quast, the former General Manager of Don Quast Hyundai, oversaw the day to day operations of the drug transportation. Quast is scheduled for sentencing on March 6, 2009. Both men remain incarcerated at the Federal Detention Center at Sea-Tac, Washington and will likely seek treaty transfer to Canada following their sentencing hearing.
SHANNON and Quast were arrested in June 2008, following a three year investigation that involved undercover officers and resulted in the seizure of more than 1,700 pounds of cocaine, 7,000 pounds of BC Bud and about $3.5 million. To date, 40 defendants have been charged in connection with the investigation. Twelve of them are Canadian. Some of the defendants are from as far away as Iowa, Illinois, and Ontario, Canada,
"Our priorities are keeping drugs off our streets and dismantling the violent criminal networks that profit from narcotics trafficking," said Leigh Winchell, Special Agent in Charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Investigations in Seattle. "ICE remains committed to aggressively investigating this type of activity."
This was an Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation, providing supplemental federal funding to the federal and state agencies involved. This investigation was led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with significant support from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force.
The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Adam Cornell. Mr. Cornell is a Deputy Snohomish County Prosecutor specially designated to prosecute drug cases in federal court.

Great quality & design
Love in the Woods Save the Date Magnets I'm so happy with my MagnetStreet purchase! They have so many designs to choose from, its easy to save my work, and shipping was quick! Very cost effective as well - thanks!
Great Save-the-Date Magnet
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Magnets I orderd my save-the-date magnets and they turned out amazing. I got a smaller size to save in price and this Magnet Street seemed to be the only site that I could find with this smaller size option. It was very easy to add personalization to the magnet and they came out exactly as I had expected. We received the magnets in a timely manner (and they were in a very professional box and display - very organized). No complaints - I would definitely recommend this site to a friend.
Amazing Packaging!
Evergreen Christmas Save the Date Magnets Not only was I happy with magnets that I ordered but I was very impressed with the package it came in. Beautiful tiffany blue magnet sealed box with a sample kit of invitations inside! They obviously take alot of pride in their work and I would absolutely recommend them to any bride!
Great Product
Soft and Sweet Save the Date Magnets We changed the colors on the design to make it pop more and it turned out great! Very happy with the final product.
Perfect Save the Dates!!!
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Magnets I love how you can change all the colors and text to match your exact needs. After ordering they even sent a preview with some changes they made to enhance the text better that I wouldn't have thought of. They came out even better than I expected. Can't wait to order the matching invitations, and thank you cards! I would absolutely recommend this product for a fabulous Autumn wedding! Thanks again!

So I hear there's this elite eight of bloggers spending the weekend taking casino money in Vegas and crashing a poker-related party at the Playboy Mansion. Good for them.
I think I'll play online and also express my solidarity with the boys by going down to the bar tonight and hitting on unattainable women. Unsuccessfully, of course.
Should be roughly the same experience.
I received a reminder last night why playing PLO on a short bankroll is not the best idea. It boils down to me missing virtually every draw, while my opponents hit virtually every draw. I finally got stacked in the "big" game when I got my money in on the turn with the nut straight with a redraw to yet a better straight. One opponent made the call -- correctly, since he'd led out and it was only a few bucks more -- with the sucker straight and nut flush draw. I'm ahead 75/25, he hits the flush, I lose. Dodge that, and I'm even.
Pretty much nothing else to say except TGITMFW.

COLUMBIA The last time South Carolina and Florida met on a baseball field, it was one of the most legendary games in the history of both programs.
USC won 2-1 in 11 innings, in the first game of the best-of-three College World Series final last June. The next night, the Gamecocks beat their Southeastern Conference East Division rival to win their second straight national title.
Tonight at Carolina Stadium, USC and Florida meet again, beginning a three-game series that is one of the most anticipated matchups in college baseball season, though it lost a bit of juice last weekend when USC was swept at Kentucky in its SEC-opening series, and on Wednesday, when the Gamecocks fell to Wofford.
After the Kentucky series, USC dropped from No. 3 to No. 8 in Baseball Americas top 25, while Florida remained No. 1, where the Gators have resided all season.
Youd like to certainly be playing better than we have been, said USC coach Ray Tanner.
USC bounced back from the Kentucky sweep by beating Furman 8-5 on Tuesday a game USC sorely needed to win after suffering just its seventh sweep against an SEC opponent since the beginning of the 2006 season.
Then, on Wednesday, USC lost 5-4 in 11 innings at home to Wofford (9-12) a rare midweek loss for the Gamecocks.
They lost two last year, to Furman and The Citadel, both on the road. They lost zero midweek games in 2010. Their last midweek home loss came in 2009, against Clemson. A week before that, they lost a midweek home game to The Citadel.
Its been a tough stretch here, but theres no reason we cant come out tomorrow and play our butts off, said USC
centerfielder Evan Marzilli. And thats what were looking forward to do.
He knows this is still USC-Florida, and tonights series opener showcases two of college baseballs best arms: USC senior left-hander Michael Roth and Florida junior righty Hudson Randall.
Roth, of course, started the clinching games in the past two College World Series. This season, he has performed up to the standards of his preseason All-America honors. He is 2-0 in five starts with a 1.26 ERA, 36 strikeouts and just seven walks. Roth, for one, doesnt think the Florida series is coming at a good time for USC.
I think right now were not really looking forward to it at all, he said. Were trying to figure out whats going on. As a team, we need to be a little bit tougher. We need to grow up a little bit, and we need to grow up fast.
Randall is 3-0 this season with a 3.45 ERA, 23 strikeouts and one walk. He delivered a masterful performance against USC in last years World Series, allowing three hits and one run in 72/3 innings, while striking out six and walking one. Randall was picked in the 46th round of the Major League Baseball draft out of high school. He may be a first-round pick this year. Tanner compared him to Greg Maddux.
The 11-inning game typified the recent results of the USC-Florida rivalry. Florida coach Kevin OSullivan arrived in Gainesville in 2008, after spending nine seasons as an assistant at Clemson. He is 7-8 against USC, but it has won four of the past five meetings, in response to Floridas five-game winning streak in the series.
Most recently, USC won last seasons regular season series 2-1; Florida won 2-1 in 2010, when the Gators also made the College World Series and went 0-2; and Florida swept USC in 2009. That was the last time before last weekends Kentucky series that USC had been swept. USC last swept Florida in 2006.
Were not really looking at it as playing the No. 1 team, said USC first baseman Christian Walker. Its just Florida. We look forward to it every year.

PLAQUEMINES PARISH, La.- Eighteen miles of levee was overtopped early Wednesday morning.
"People are going door-to-door, trying to get people out," a spokesperson told WBRZ by phone.
Just after midnight, a levee system between inhabited areas of Plaquemines Parish and marshland along the Gulf of Mexico was overtopped. The levee is about 8 feet high.
Officials don't know how many people need to be evacuated, because that area was under a mandatory evacuation order- and there's no word on how many people didn't leave.
The water is believed to be low enough were people can escape.

The design of this study was a multiple case study conducted to examine the knowledge, pedagogical principles, and challenges involved in providing engineering-oriented professional development for teachers at the secondary school level. A set of criteria was used to identify five representative projects for analysis in the US. A variety of tools and processes were used to gather data including on-site observations, interviews, focus groups and document reviews. Results of the study indicate that engineering professional development tends to be based on work focused on curriculum development and implementation. Given the distinct design orientation of engineering, it is not surprising that the focus of engineering-oriented professional development tends to concentrate on engaging activities, with a primary focus on process rather than content. A key outcome of this study was an observed lack of a clearly formulated and articulated conceptual foundation for secondary level engineering. Regarding pedagogy, the researchers identified a heavy emphasis on modeling and applied learning. At the same time, the researchers observed a lack of emphasis on reflection and analysis of the pedagogical processes and techniques used to shape teachers' ability to teach engineering to their students. The findings of the study also include concerns raised by teachers as they engage in engineering professional development. These include concerns about technical knowledge, particularly with the use of specialized software applications and other tools, as well as with practical issues such as time, resources, and availability of appropriate curriculum.

I have a question, for those that are veterans in carrying loaded weapons.
How long did it take you to carry your weapon loaded?
I know of some folks that don't have one in the chamber, but for those that have been carrying for a while how long did it take you to decide to keep one in the chamber.
what were some of the steps you took to get you there.

Conflict and Health
Publisher: BioMed Central
Conflict and Health is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal
encompassing all aspects of the intertwined relationship between health and
Millions of people around the world are caught between the vicious spiral of
violent conflict and poor health. The journal will focus on the intricate
relationship between conflict and health, and how health interventions in
war zones may contribute to peace.
Conflict and Health considers the following types of articles:
* Research: reports of data from original research.
* Reviews: comprehensive, authoritative, descriptions of any subject within
the scope of the journal. These articles are usually written by opinion
leaders that have been invited by the Editorial Board.
* Debate articles: describe a new database or a substantial improvement of
an existing database.
* Case studies: describe a major healthcare intervention, usually from a
public health perspective. Case study articles that include a rigorous
assessment of the processes and impact of the intervention as well as
recommendations for future interventions will be considered favourably.
* Meeting reports: a short description of a conference that the author has
attended. It is usually best for the article to be published as soon after
the meeting as possible, and should focus on the key developments presented
and discussed at the meeting. These articles are usually commissioned but
reports and suggestions may also be submitted for the editors'
* Methodology articles: present a new experimental method, test or
procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a
better version of an existing method.
* Short reports: brief reports of data from original research.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to Conflict and Health using
the online submission system.

Viira, the productivity app based on David Allen's book Getting Things Done is now available for BlackBerry 10. The app works in conjunction with an Outlook plugin to bring actionable elements, contexts, projects and day tasks to keep staff on the task at hand and remain productive.

The native task app doesn't get much love from RIM but I'm sure we'll see some interesting stuff when BlackBerry 10 is out and the TAT UI stuff is available. If you're looking for a better task app, we recommend you take a look at Prista by Karta Mobile. The app is currently available at a discount price and also features a free trial.

Mac users for some time had to get a little creative when syncing information to and from their BlackBerrys. Today, we'll have a look at how to get creative with your tasks and sync them with your BlackBerry.
Since the inclusion of "system-wide to-dos" within Mac OSX 10.5 (known as Leopard), developers of to-do applications received a new set of API's to work with, and unknowingly simplified a BlackBerry user's life. Developers of such apps include an iCal Sync feature which allows a sort of information highway between their task management application, iCal, Mail and other 3rd party apps that include that same feature.
Here is a little guide I've made, to get you started:
Continue reading '[Video] Creative Task Sync Between Mac OSX Leopard and BlackBerry'
S4BB have released their task management application for BlackBerry called TaskMaster. TaskMaster for BlackBerry is a robust to do list application that works well with other S4BB products such as NextAction!
Being a task manager, it is best described as a feature set which includes:
Purchase Task Manager for the special price of $19.99 until May 27.
TaskMaster, a juiced version of the integrated BlackBerry Tasks app, has slashed its price from $29.99 to $9.99 until September 12th. – a crazy discount no matter what software you're looking at buying. One-click category switching, Outlook synchronization, and task creation by hotkey. Although this might seem like it replaces the BlackBerry Tasks app, it actually syncs up with it. NextAction! integration is also available, so you'll always know what you're supposed to be working on. Interested? Check out TaskMaster!
Mac users rejoice! Entourage 2008, designed to emulate much of Microsoft Office, can now support syncing for BlackBerrys released as of May through PocketMac. Devices running OS 4.5 reportedly work like a charm for getting contacts, tasks, and calendar items off your Mac and onto your BlackBerry via Entourage. iTunes support is also in there, although it's kind of funny that PC users got the iTunes Media Sync first. This is pretty awesome for Mac users everywhere, considering the complete lack of love they tend to get from RIM. Hopefully this will keep enough of them from going with the iPhone instead… Hey, you can always make your BlackBerry look like an iPhone with themes like iBerry in Today, Icon and Zen styles. Head on over to the PocketMac site to download version 4.1.25.

"The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children.
It is my desire as Minister to Children to nurture your child's spiritual formation of faith in a Christ-centered environment. Each child should have the opportunity to grow and learn about Christ and his amazing gift of salvation. It is my hope that when your child attends our children's ministry programs that they feel loved and known by myself, our teachers, and by Christ.

The Early Childhood ministry at First Baptist Church focuses on teaching children about Jesus and His love. Through loving relationships, children learn who Jesus is, what it means to be a Jesus friend, how to trust the church, and where love can be found.
We are pleased to provide, to all families that attend church related functions, the peace of mind of a private paging system and numbered security stickers. The parent/guardian of any child left in the Early Childhood area will check out a nursery pager when they leave their child and fill out a security sticker.
Preschoolers begin their Sunday morning with Sunday school where they will bring the Bible to life through stories, songs, art, nature, puzzles, home living and more. The whole family is invited to take part in Bible Study at 9:15 a.m. After Bible Study the preschoolers have the opportunity to continue to learn about God's love in ETC (Extended Teaching Care) during the worship service. Preschooler's curiosity is encouraged in both Bible Study and ETC as they develop a foundation for knowing who God is. Infants - 3 years of age remain in their sunday school classroom for ETC. PreSchool and Kindergarten children go to room 108 for Lil' K.

Parent/Child Dedication is an opportunity for parents to present their child to their community of faith, publicly promising to raise him or her in a Christian home and to teach them what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. As a part of a family of faith, you are not raising your child alone. When our church comes together for a parent/child dedication, we are not simply celebrating the gift of a child and the commitment of a parent. We are embracing our responsibility to support families by teaching God's Word, serving one another in love, training up disciples of Jesus and pointing others to Christ. In turn, the congregation covenants with the parents to share in the responsibilities of nurturing and teaching that child and helping them to grow in their faith.Please contact if you are ready for your child dedication.
First Baptist Church desires to partner with parents as we educate children and model what it means to make Jesus our Lord and Savior. The Children's Ministry is laying a foundation for children to come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The journey does not end with the decision to accept Jesus, but continues to grow through daily/weekly discipleship.
Sunday morning boys and girls meet for Bible Study. Through large and small group learning experiences, every child's spiritual growth is encouraged.
1st– 5th Graders start out in Large Group room 204 from 9:15– 9:35 a.m.; 9:35-10:15 a.m. they go to their classrooms as follows:
All children are dismissed from Sunday School at 10:15 a.m. and parents are required to pick up their child from their classrooms. No child is allowed to leave unattended without their grown-up.

Webonauts Internet Academy is a game from PBS KIDS GO! that gives kids 8- to 10-years-old a chance to have fun while exploring Internet safety and responsibility. Kids will find that it is an interesting interactive experience as they design their own avatars and must complete a mission using the concepts of identity' privacy' credibility and web safety for success. Kids can read the directions and/or have them read aloud by clicking the audio symbol. Children will enjoy the adventure game and can print a certificate of completion after a successful mission. A section for parents and teachers suggests how they may use game play as a basis for conversations about media literacy and citizenship in the 21st century, both on-and off-line within the family or classroom.

An adventure high on the wish list of active adventurers keen to take on the challenge of traversing Costa Rica under their own steam. Our crossing takes us on bike, foot, raft and kayak across this spectacular natural wilderness through farmlands, foothills and mountainous regions reaching the peaks of Cero Lira and Cero Las Vueltas (3,100m). The trails are often slippery and poorly defined, with several river crossings. We encounter indigenous settlements deep in the cloud forest and hope to glimpse rare wildlife and bird life in this pristine tropical rain forest.
The views and terrain vary greatly as we traverse the mountainous backbone of Costa Rica, which culminates in a trek to "The Hidden Valleys" above the Pacuare River. The Pacuare is one of the world's classic whitewater experiences, where we undertake an exhilarating rafting trip with class 2-5 rapids through a series of spectacular canyons. In between the powerful rapids there is time to absorb your superb surroundings and the tropical rain forest. We leave the rapids and gorges behind as we ease our way by sea kayak along a much slower moving section of the river, through banana plantations to our final goal, the Caribbean coast. Tour Itinerary: Day 1: Arrive San Jose. Day 2: Transfer to Dominical. Day 3: Commence cycling and hiking to our camp. Day 4: Hike and bike to Roble. Days 5-9: Complete cycling, trek gradually ascending remote trails to the peaks of Cero Lira and Cero Las Vueltas. Day 10: Biking through sugar cane plantations and river crossings. Day 11: Rafting remote and rarely run section of Pacuare River. Days 12-13: Hidden Valleys self supported trek to Pacuare river. Day 14: Rest day. Days 15-16: Rafting on the Pacuare River and kayaking to the Caribbean Sea. Day 17: Transfer to San Jose. Day 18: In San Jose, trip concludes. Notes: Price Includes:

@Charred - I can't speak to the science behind the steel collapses in the terrorist attacks. I do know that metal fabricators use a variety of metal forming techniques to shape the steel into a particular shape.
From what I understand some of these methods use cold as part of the process while others use heat. I don't know how much heat is applied using the heat techniques, but I assume that during this process they have an acceptable threshold for how much heat the metal can endure.
Again, whether the steel can withstand more than that or whether the fires of September 11,2001 were much hotter than that threshold, I cannot stay. But the metal fabricators do run their tests through a variety of what-if scenarios as I understand it.

Robert Neumark-Jones got his (first) name years before being born, after his mum dreamt that Bob Dylan pressured her into naming a child after him. Born with a similarly curly bob (Bob), and on Shakespeare's birthday, Robert naturally claimed authorship of both geniuses works. When that lost momentum (though he still hasn't given up), he turned his hand to his own writing and performing.
In 2010 he made his Edinburgh debut in Stop, Look, Listen, which was selected for the NSDF 2011 Festival and for which he received the top NSDF Commendation for acting. The 2012 festival saw the debut play by his own theatre company Ninth Life, of which Howard Brenton is honorary patron. "The Questionnaire" co-written with and co-starring Christopher Birks, played the whole month to rave reviews. He has also acted with Sunday's Child in two productions, including the award-winning Kiss Me and You Will See How Important I Am. He has performed in Moscow, Dublin, Athens, New York and Balham. He is constantly back and forth between New York and London, the two greatest cities in the world. Robert acts, gardens and continues to perform stand up, and write plays. He trained in Moscow at the world renowned Vakhtangov Institute, and recently graduated as a scholarship student from Drama Centre London. Contact him. He'll like you.

-, 2011, oil on canvas, 49,2 x 42,8 cm
The themes of Jānis Avotiņš' (b. 1981, Riga) paintings are loneliness and alienation. Scenes from books by Kafka and Dostoyevsky or references to a collective memory seem to turn up in these paintings. According to Avotins, the loneliness that his work expresses emphasizes the vulnerability of the individual who is oppressed in our modern society. To show this, all references to time and place are omitted from these works. There is nothing that points to a chronological process or to an identity of the figures in them. Everything centres around the depiction of the fragile human condition. What is striking about Avotins' work is the immaterial character of the scenes that seem to take an eternity or a second. Faces remain unrecognizable because Avotins considers the expression on a face to be too personal and too intimate. In contrast, hands are very present. Janis Avotins feels an affinity in his method of painting for the Lithuanian-American painter Vija Celmins and he acknowledges the influence of Werner Herzog and Deimantas Narkevicius in his own oeuvre. Janis Avotins studied at the Janis Rozentals School of Fine Art and at The Latvian Academy of Art from 1999 to 2003. He has had several exhibitions at IBID Projects in London and in Vilnius and at the Johnen Galerie in Berlin and the Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle in Munich.Avotins had a large retrospective in the Ludwig Forum in Aachen, Germany in 2008. This year he will show his work at the Vilnius Painting Triennale in Lithuania.
