What Is A Theocracy? Should We Want One?
Posted by Joel Taylor on March 6, 2013 in Videos | 8 Comments
Didn't have time to watch the vid, but the answer is yes and no. Yes, when the King returns and the church and government are one. Until then, no way. Let a Presbyterian run it, and all us Baptists will be toast.
So Christ is not already King? Baptists are much better off under Pagan rule? Maybe you would do well to have a look at the video.
He is absolutely King. He is also going to return. I expect to spend a glorious eternity under the rule of a King whose reign is characerized by righteousness. History has shown us enough of "Theocracies" that were any thing but. I'll take my chances with Pagans. I wouldn't trust a Theonomists as far as I could throw him.
I don't trust anyone to govern with equity other than the King who is enthroned in the heavens. That includes pagans and Theonomic reformers. I have been looking over my shoulder ever since I learned about Zwingli. The New England Puritans didn't ease my mind any. Those guys will go Old Covenant on you in a heartbeat.
We are presently living in a theocracy. Christ reigns now from His position at the right of the Father. All authority in heaven and earth has been to Him (Matt 28:18) and from there He shall rule until all enemies are made a footstool for His feet (Hebrews 10:13). He does not have to be physically present on the earth for Him to rule. Whether you acknowledge His authority or not, someday we will all answer to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Brother Berry,
Don't you think we can still pray, "May your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven?"
Yes, indeed! Aren't we commanded to do so by our Lord? And I'm sorry, but I am one of those theonomists! We aren't talking about some kind of dictator with a Bible in his hand, just that our leaders recognize Christ's Kingship and that the nation's laws reflect the "general equity," as the Westminster Confession 19:4 states, of the Old Testament case law. This is quite compatible with a constitutional republic.

My DS just came to me saying his mouth hurts. I checked and found a few canker sores. Is this common in kids this young? What can I do to treat them?
My DS just came to me saying his mouth hurts. I checked and found a few canker sores. Is this common in kids this young? What can I do to treat them?
anbesol/orajel should be fine to use on them - but are you sure it's not hand foot and mouth?
"The words that they say sound passive but seem aggressive. I feel like there should be a term for that. Like, 'nicey-meany?'" -Andy Dwyer
I would guess hand, foot, and mouth as well. That was the first place my sons' showed up as well.
Canker sores are immune reactions, usually to biting your cheek accidentally, and don't usually happen in little kids. They are not like cold sores caused by a virus.
I would wonder about HF&M too. I don't usually have more than one canker sore at a time.
"Big families are like waterbed stores. They used to be everywhere, but now they're just weird."
My 3 c/s kids:DD (7) DS (5) DD (2)
I hadn't even thought of that, because we've never dealt with it. But he did have a sore throat and a fever on Sunday.
Anything I can do to treat it, or just let it run its course?
My 4 year old has been getting canker sores for a year. Her ped thought it was HFM the first time. She has mouth wash that has benadryl, maalox and water. It helps a ton. If needed I aslo give her ibuprofen
Ditto on the diet thing. I get them when I eat too many nuts, or not enough fruits and veggies.
"Those who cAn make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." -Voltaire
If it's HFM, my pediatrician said to just let it run its course as long as our sons stayed hydrated. Some children refuse to drink because of the pain and that can be a real problem. Use non-acidic food and drinks. And Tylenol or Motrin for discomfort. One of my sons had a mild case with blisters in his mouth and just a few on his body. Our other son had a more significant case with blisters in his mouth, and on his hands, torso, feet, arms, and legs. It took him a while to recover, but he is generally slow to heal.
Good luck!
My first guess would be HFM too...though I had mouthfuls of canker sores quite often when I was very litte, through my tween years. When I was 4 I could dip my own finger in water, then alum, put it on the canker, and keep the alum there for 30 seconds. It hurt like heck but it eliminated the cankers within a day or two. Now, looking back, I'm betting nuts were the culprit--we had black walnut trees and I loved to pound them with a rock or hammer until they broke and then dig out the meat and eat it.

Making a Great Workplace
The Alliance Bank family is the most valuable asset that continues to drive its success. We are committed to remain as an employer of choice by providing a safe, healthy, and conducive working environment for our employees, while making a concerted effort to develop our employees and nurture talent within the Bank.
Human capital investment is a strategic and integral part of the Bank's policies, financial commitment, and business framework. Its development is critical to our goal of being Malaysia's Best Customer Service Bank.
We continue to invest in training and development programmes that are aligned to the Bank's business objectives, as well as to enhance our employees' career development and professional growth. We also participate In compensation surveys to ensure that we are competitive in the industry, as well as engage our employees in open two-way communication via multiple channels to seek views and feedback.
In recognition of the Bank's efforts to create a Great Place to Work, the Bank was recognised as one of Malaysia's Top 100 Leading Graduate Employees, and was listed as one of the Top 100 Public Listed Companies in the 2011 Malaysia Corporate Governance Index.
Developing a Champion Team
The Bank has a Talent Management Framework that provides employees with comprehensive training programmes, skill enhancement opportunities, and career development options.
In 2012, the Management Development Programme was launched to groom young talents to take on future leadership roles. This six-month structured leadership programme to equip participants with essential skills to become managers included customized classroom and business simulation sessions, as well as hands-on experience in special projects that were of top-priority to the Bank. Participants were also paired with mentors from the senior management team to enhance their learning experience.
Listening to Each Individual
The Group Chief Executive Officer and his senior management team have scheduled Pulse Lunches with employees from different departments to help employees understand the importance of their roles to the Bank and its strategies. More importantly, these lunches are a platform of communication between senior management and employees to foster two-way communication, share feedback, and encourage employees to share ideas.
Employee Townhalls are also organised annually for all employees, where the senior management team are given an opportunity to share business updates, and for employees to discuss their concerns and suggestions about improving the organisation.
An Employee Engagement survey is also conducted annually to seek employees' views and feedback on how the Bank can enhance its employee value proposition. The feedback is collected by an independent consultant, and studied by the Bank to draw strategies to create a more conducive workplace and address areas of employees' concern. An email ID was also set up specificially to solicit ideas and suggestions from employees to find ways to further improve - this is accessed by the Group Chief Executive Officer, and is managed by one of his key staff members.
A Helping Hand
The Bank's employees frequently respond admirably to help their colleagues in distress via a staff-help-staff programme. In December 2011, employees pitched in to help a fellow colleague tide over a series of family and personal misfortunes.

Starting or expanding businesses takes money from risk-taking entrepreneurs. We need to enact tax policies that offer incentives for new capital formation, like cutting the capital-gains tax, as President Clinton did in his second term when the economy soared, jobs were plentiful and incomes rose.
Obama not only condemned tax-rate reduction to get the economy growing again (until he and his party got a shellacking in the midterm elections); he wanted to raise taxes on investors, capital gains, corporations and Wall Street.
He has rarely sought the advice of top business leaders during his presidency, and you won't find one among his advisers or in his Cabinet. But if you ask business leaders, they will tell you the new Congress needs to do just the opposite of what Obama has been doing.
"We have heard candidates on both sides of the aisle talking about the importance of economic recovery, growth and job creation," says Jay Timmons, the incoming president of the National Association of Manufacturers.
"The way to ensure these important goals are met is to adopt lower tax rates, open new markets through free-trade agreements, lower energy costs by expanding domestic access ... and curtail burdensome and overreaching regulations that stifle growth," he said.
For the past two years, as unemployment climbed steadily higher, Obama sat on the South Korea, Colombia and Panama free-trade agreements. He finally embraced the agreement with Seoul but has sought no new bilateral-trade pacts that would risk offending powerful union bosses.
Wonder why gasoline is so expensive? U.S. moratoriums on offshore drilling have pushed gas prices to over $3 a gallon.
The incoming Republican-leaning Congress is already at work on these and other issues.
House Republican leaders say they are combing the budget for big spending cuts to come as soon as Obama submits his spending proposals. Over at the House Financial Services Committee, they've already begun going through the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law "provision by provision."
An economic-growth and job-creation bill is being worked on as well and will be one of the first pieces of legislation Republicans will bring to the House floor early next year.
Obama now says he's willing to work with Republicans in the new Congress. They're going to give him plenty of opportunities to do so.

Ruby Predictions
With the impending dawn of 2008, it's time I set down my look at what the future might hold for the Ruby world. In general, Ruby looks poised for another big year. But reading about generalities is not fun (and neither is writing about them for that matter), so I've tried to provide a little more detail below.
JRuby — I expect to see JRuby put Ruby's speed issues put to bed in 2008. The JRuby team is making great progress in their work, and have shown that they're not afraid to try new things. JRuby is going to continue to gain users this year, and may become the most widely deployed version of Ruby as Java shops pick it up.
Rubinius — Evan and the rest of the Rubinius hackers are going to give the official 1.9 implementation of Ruby a run for the money this year. Rubinius is going to continue to improve, and will start to see widespread deployment. It will also be exciting to see Rubinius experiments bleed back into the other Ruby implementations as people see the value in them.
Merb — I believe that this year will see Merb come forward as a better Rails. It won't overtake Rails in terms of deployments or mindshare in 2008, but it will get big enough to be taken seriously. We'll know it's come of age when we see the first book about it.
Books — The market seems to near the saturation point for general Ruby books. The Pragmatic Programmers still seem to be the big wheel, but Apress has been putting out titles at an amazing rate and other publishers have been getting involved too. Perhaps the most interesting new contender is Addison-Wesley's Professional Ruby series, which features 'The Ruby Way', 'The Rails Way', and 'Design Patterns In Ruby'. I think 2008 will see more focus on specific Ruby related technologies along with continued E-Book rollouts. I also think we'll see more DVDs of Ruby and Rails training come out in 2008.
A Magazine — I feel less certain about this that the other predictions, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a journal style magazine come out in 2008 (even if it folds after an issue or two). I think the Ruby community is ready for something like this.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Galaxy -X = Mirror Galaxy Class ?
Since it is an open secret, the devs will never enhance the Exploration Cruiser to make it a aceptable/ fun ship to fly, so i suggest that we get the possibility to remove the third nacelle from the Galaxy -X and be able to use Galaxy Class ship parts at the Galaxy -X.
Before the "nay" sayers ravish this tread, let me please explain why it could work. Since the first lockboxes we got certain "Mirror" ships in STO. For example the Mirror Assault Cruiser looks the same as the Prime universe Star Cruiser while having the same BOFF & Console Layout as the Prime universe Assault Cruiser. (the same for the Recon science + DSSV, Patrol Escort and Prometheus Class) While no one takes offense at this, i think the same could be said about the Galaxy Class and the Galaxy -X. I don't know about other people, but i would be really happy if i could make my Galaxy -X be able to look like a Galaxy Class, and since no one opposes that a Star Cruiser can look like an Assault Cruiser and vice versa, i think it would be great for some Galaxy Class fans to have their favourite ship have a bit more tactical value. Tecnically i can't imagine that this would be too complicated, since both ships are nearly identical except for that stupid looking third nacelle that ruins the whole look and the gracious lines of that ship. EDIT: Sorry i forgot, if some friendly dev would decide to realize it, would it be possible to mix Galaxy -R and Galaxy -X ship parts so one could use a Galaxy - X Venture Neck in combination with a Galaxy -X venture Saucer for example? That would be absolutely AWESOME! So please devs, give your heart a nudge and make this happen. I think a lot of people would be really happy about this. |
The Galaxy and Galaxy-X switching abilities, consoles and layout? That's so stupid it has to work! :D:P
I never got why this is an issue in the first place. I mean no one complains about the Mirror Universe Reconnaissance Science Vessel look like the DSSV or vice versa, why is this a problem with the Galaxy -X? It's not that it would be a especially good looking or exceptional strong ship. I don't get why it shouldn't be possible to be able to use it's counterparts appearance, just like any other Mirror ship too. But of course it's possible to make a problem out of it, just like with anything else. Since the Galaxy -X will get saucer seperation in the future, i thought it would be a welcome opportunity to unlock normal Galaxy class ship parts for that ship, especially Galaxy Class necks without that stupid looking third nacelle. (i just hate it, strangely EVERY cruiser in STO has some issue that makes it look either ugly or just plain stupid.) |
ugh. Heres an idea pal. Just beg the devs to get rid of the Ensign Engineer on the Galaxy Retro and make it a Universal. they should do the same with the Intrepid and Defiant. Universal Ensigns to kill the unuselessness of them.
There are threads about this for years now and the devs don't feel to respond to them, even once in three years. The last thing i heard concerning a Galaxy Class -ish ship is that the Galaxy -X will be getting saucer seperation in the first half of this year. As i already said, i think it will be the LAST opportunity before the devs will completely ignore anything even remotely related to the Galaxy Class. Maybe some dev (cough) is friendly enough to explain me why this issue is considered a problem anyway. They already added the Mirror Star Cruiser/Assault Cruiser, the Mirror RSV/DSSV and the Mirror Patrol Escort and Advanced Escort. No one considers the existence of those ships to be a problem, why should it be a problem to make a mirror version of the Galaxy -R and -X, they could even release it as a add on for everyone who bought BOTH ships in the C-Store. Heck i would even pay 1000 ZEN and more to be able to use Galaxy -R ship parts on my Galaxy -X! EDIT: I'm not so sure right now if i had better created this thread in the "C-Store and Promotions" section. |
I completly agree with yreodred here, the Galaxy class is my most favorite ship, yet I do not fly it in STO because it is absolutely FAIL.
Cruisers in this game are a bad joke anyway, a Defiant class should not be stronger than a Sovereign class, close maybe, but then again beams in this game are a bad joke too. There is so much fun to be had in STO, but this closed minded system design leaves us with little to no choice and forces us / me to play another ship, which I might enjoy, but don't love. In the show the Galaxy kicks ass, in STO its a waste of space. Unless you want to tank, damage output-wise the cruisers are no fun. I would pay 50 dollars to get a tactical version any day! |

Pervs On Patrol uniform VIDEOS (4)
Dude couldn't watch that hot slut Carmen Caliente swatting balls on the tennis court without running somewhere private to get into trouble. They hurried to the men's change-room, and jumped in the shower so he could tap Carmen's sweet bubble butt.
Ladies better watch out for pervs on patrol everywhere they go! Dude spotted this blonde hottie in the park and followed her home. He filmed her masturbating through the window, then smooth-talked his way til he was balls deep in that pussy.
As soon as dude got a load of Holly Michaels practicing her cheers, he just had to perv out. She spread her legs and shook that juicy soft ass while he filmed up a voyeur porn, then she rode his dick til he popped a fat load across her face.

Excellent trip! Very interesting commentary from driver Patrick and great fun at stops, especially the camel ride at the farm! Very enjoyable, thank you.
Very efficient and enjoyable trip, Mark the driver was excellent.
Petra M
I liked the trip in the very comfortable shuttle bus very much. the driver was friendly and patient and did explain some storys about history and environment. so we had a great time. thanks.
Great ride with good stops.
David F
United Kingdom
The coach picked us up from our hotel on time and our transfer to Ayers Rock resort was very pleasant with two convenience breaks en route and a transfer to our resort hotel.
On time. Personable driver guide. Made the hours of driving over many kilometres a very pleasant experience. Driver told stories about the areas we were passing through and stopped several times for us to 'stretch our legs', also played some local 'cowboy' music - very humorous. BTW, if you want some aborigine artwork and see something you like, buy at these 'stations' as the prices get higher as you get closer to Uluru!
Susan C
The trip was interesting ... bus driver very informative ... stops were excellent ... great insight to the Outback.
Scenic, with excellent commentaries by the bus driver. The brief stop at Mt. Ebenezer trading post was a genuine outback experience. They have a fine bus.
Ann Greta S
United Kingdom
Wonderful experience - comfortable seats and comfort stops.
Paul B
United Kingdom
This was an awesome journey through the spectacular scenery of the oldest mountain ranges in Australia, with stops at a camel farm and an Outback watering hole. The driver was very informative about local history; he shared some amazing information. This beats catching the plane from Alice Springs.
Excellent and entertaining commentary from driver.
Comfortable, well presented. Trip went by very quick
Much better than hiring a car and driving. You get to see a lot more of the countryside and the driver provided some very good commentary.
Brilliant driver - well informed, engaging and personable
Thank you!

Customer Reviews
I had sworn off "just running" until this app
Growing up, most of my running was connected to games with friends or actual sports like soccer, so I didn't give it much thought. And then, in high school for sports training we had to run distances and I would find myself bored out of my mind. Apparently I didn't like running if it wasn't connected to another activity or at least, not if I had to think about it. I gave it up and did other things until eventually I realized I was avoiding running. My other activities gave me three knee injuries -- an easy excuse. But not really a good excuse because running is so good for you, so inexpensive and you can run anywhere – – and I travel a lot. A friend told me about this app. And then another friend told me about this app and then another. I've been using it for a couple of months now and you know what? It works. It makes running completely manageable, breaks up the monotony, allows you to add in music or whatever without leaving the app. You do get a sense of achievement, and you will find yourself running a 5K without even thinking about it, in no time. If this non-runner can do it, anyone can.
Awesome app!
I am 4 weeks into this program and all I can say is that it's awesome! I'll be honest, for being new to running, I was worried I wouldn't be able to do it. I am a thin person, but I wasn't in shape and would get winded doing basic things. I have just always wanted to be a runner. But an app that helps you run? Hmmm... Maybe? So even though I was skeptical, I thought, what do I have to lose? Well, like I said, I'm only 4 weeks in, but I crave running now. Not only was I able to complete the first day without feeling like I over did it, I had such a sense of accomplishment... it was just a great feeling and couldn't wait til the next run. I love the bell and voice instruction that notifies you to run or walk. Now I'm to the point that I will run through a walk prompt and continue to run through the next run prompt. I never would have thought I would be doing this in 4 weeks. Granted, everyone is different. In closing, I highly suggest this app for anyone looking to start running as a form of exercise, for those who haven't been runners in the past, or maybe those who used to but it's been a very long time.
Sooo useful
Last year I used this app but only made it to week 6. I then half ran half walked a 5k. Then the holidays hit and I lost my motivation. I have just recently picked it back up, still love it and made it over halfway.
If you are already fairly active and in shape you should be able to start it's straight away. The first couple weeks are super easy but week 5 starts to get tougher. Be sure not to skip weeks. If you are not in shape and not very active, I would start with a couple of weeks of consistent low impact cardio, then start the program. This will help you first get use to the idea of doing consistent exercise so you are less likely to give up.
As far as the program itself goes, it is basic interval training. The same sort of training that I use to do in high school track conditioning. You can do it on your own with a stop watch, but if you need a little extra motivation- it's perfect!

I really couldn't ask for a better dad," she said of BloomMiranda Kerr was all smiles as she left the Stella McCartney show at the Opera Garnier in Paris on Monday morning, but despite her cheery disposition, she says juggling mommyhood and modeling is no easy task."I'm still breastfeeding so I have to express milk and send it back to [9-month-old son Flynn Christopher], and then try and see him on my breaks," the Australian model, 28, told PEOPLE as she left the show, one of many she has walked in during Paris Fashion Week.But luckily husband Orlando Bloom is usually on hand to help out, especially when it comes to diaper-changing duties. "He loves it! But seriously, he's very hands on. I really couldn't ask for a better dad."Having recently left Paris for London where Bloom is promoting his new film "The Three Musketeers," Kerr admits she's already looking forward to being reunited after the shows and getting some much-needed sleep."I was up for hours last night as he's teething. And when he's crying, he just wants Mommy! It's such hard work."With McCartney's four children backstage, the model spotted a possible future daughter-in-law."It's funny because Stella's little girl Reiley is almost the same age as Flynn so watch out -- Flynn might start dating her," she said with a giggle.Might their own family might be expanding anytime soon?

Because of the better motor, GoVacuum is including a 10 year motor warranty at no charge on the Cirrus CR89 The CR89 also is the only residential model that comes packaged with the a variable speed motor control. This allows you to slow the brush speed and the suction power, when doing delicate oriental rugs, or Berber carpeting. Rather then straddling the rug and fighting with it to try and it hold down, simply lower the variable suction control so you are not sucking the rug into the vacuum cleaner. The CR89 also comes standard with HEPA exhaust filter. For homes with allergies or breathing issues, the Cirrus CR89 is ideal. The HEPA filter is very efficient at capturing microscopic particles that cause allergy sufferers major problems such as dust mites, pollen, animal dander, and bacteria. The sealed motor housing prevents any air from leaking, and forces the air through the HEPA filter which makes it very effective. C-CR89 Learn More -

Geometrical-optics solution to light scattering by droxtal ice crystals
Applied Optics, Vol. 43, Issue 12, pp. 2490-2499 (2004)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (359 KB)
We investigate the phase matrices of droxtals at wavelengths of 0.66 and 11 μm by using an improved geometrical-optics method. An efficient method is developed to specify the incident rays and the corresponding impinging points on the particle surface necessary to initialize the ray-tracing computations. At the 0.66-μm wavelength, the optical properties of droxtals are different from those of hexagonal ice crystals. At the 11-μm wavelength, the phase functions for droxtals are essentially featureless because of strong absorption within the particles, except for ripple structures that are caused by the phase interference of the diffracted wave.

About this location
The Andalucia region
Conil is formed on a hill full of white houses. On the narrow, twisting streets, are the most varied restaurants and bars of unique character. Each has its own personality and most of them are located on the space formerly occupied by a house, a barn or a garage. But undoubtedly, the best of the white villages of the coast (as Tarifa, Vejer and Zahara, Bologna) are the feelings that you get from it. Its smell, the color of the beach. typically Andalusian streets, access to wood that takes you to the beach, the horses on the beach. Fourteen miles of long beaches and still virgins, with fine white sand lapped by crystal clear waters. On the beaches coexist cliffs, pine trees and the waters of the Atlantic. Noteworthy are the beaches of Los Bateles, Roche, Castilnovo, Fuente del Gallo, or Pig Beach as the Camacho coves, the burning of oil duck. Some of these coves largely disappear when the tide rises.

Alright, so I applied for the Spring Advantage program.. However, I just found out about a two-week cruise for my grandmother's birthday that is happening this summer that I can't miss. I've been pended, is there any possible way I can switch being considered for SA to JUST being considered for Spring? I don't want to have to turn this opportunity down if I get accepted, but if I get accepted for SA, I will have to because my dad (and grandmother!) will never forgive me if I miss this birthday celebration.
You can contact your recruiter, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Did you only apply for SA or regular Spring as well? Either way it's worth asking them!
I definitely think it helps that you have signed up for both, so don't stress too much! Maybe you'll even get regular spring without asking
They emailed back and apparently, once interviews have been conducted, preferences can't be changed :/ Man, I hope this works out...
One of my dd's CP friends was given three weeks off in June for a family reunion/vacation. So it's possible to get the time off, but obviously there are no guarantees you will be given it. Also sometimes they will tell you right away if you get the time off you requested, but sometimes they don't tell you if you're getting the time off until the week before. My dd is in that boat too, because she chose to stay through August and we have a family reunion cruise going on for our 30th anniversary in June. She may have to miss the cruise. That's the way it goes. We certainly won't be mad at her about it.
Oh wow, I didn't know you could request that much time off! That could be an option.. What is the usual end date in August for Spring Advantage?
I have a similar problem that I thought of, so hopefully someone will be able to answer my question as well! When I applied for the program, I wasn't thinking far in advance, and I realized today that since I'm Spring Advantage, I'll miss my sister's high school graduation. Do you think it's possible that if I give my manager a week's-two week's notice, they'll give me a couple of days off to fly home for that and then turn around and come back? I'll hopefully have a car in Florida, so I was thinking I would fly home the morning of the graduation and land in time to get a car to take me to the high school for the ceremony, stay the night, and then fly back and drive to my apartment from the airport. I'm sure if it isn't possible, nobody would be too upset, but I would feel really bad if I missed it. Even if I have to fly home early morning the day of, and then fly back late at night the same day to be back in time, I would do it.
Be really careful with this, as you ca only request 12 days off (in a row) before termination. This doesn't include normal days off, so you could technically have 18ish (?) days off if you were really lucky, but that's pretty rare. One of my friends took off 13 days to visit her family, and she was late to clock in on her first day back. My managers had me call her, and tell her she had to come in or she would be termed. Thankfully her bus was just late, and we had managers that cared enough to check with her.
As soon as you get your perner, you can request days off. Do it ASAP, and you have a much higher chance of getting it off.
Lots of false info in this post. If days off are approved they're approved. You will not be termed for being late or even missing a scheduled shift after a vacation. You have to miss 3 consecutive scheduled shifts without calling to be termed. Also managers would never rely on a CM to inform another CM that they have to show up or be termed. Sounds like they wanted to scare her and used you to do so.
You can think what you want, but I only know my experience, and I certainly wasn't the only one. The rules on the CP are strict, and attendance is within those rules. The manager who had me call her was a friend of ours, it wasn't me informing her that she would be termed. It was me checking to make sure she was coming in. Again, this was just my experience. Maybe it has changed since either you or I did the CP. But this was how it happened when I was there.
Definitely! If you are approved for the time off, great! You can also try and get people to cover/switch any extra shifts that they don't give you off. Good luck!

A British woman's dream of adding to her dinner set - a family heir loom - through a Timaru TradeMe trader will not be realised for now.
Lynne Abbess, of London, was hoping to get her hands on a complete eight-place setting advertised by a Timaru trader on the online auction site. She came across the expired listing while searching and was trying to make contact.
However the seller, who wanted to be known only as Philip, said the pieces were sold six months ago. They were a "family possession", and had been in the family about 30 years, he said.
He declined to say how much the dinner set sold for.
Hunt on for Timaru online seller
A British woman is seeking out an online trader believed to be from Timaru who is selling pieces from a dinner set.
Lynne Abbess, of London, said she had come across a Trade Me item by "someone called Philip who lives in Timaru" advertising a dinner service she has been trying to get her hands on.
"It matches a cherished dinner service I inherited from my parents who died a few years ago and I am now looking for some extra place settings," Mrs Abbess said.
"Philip advertised exactly what I need - a complete eight-place setting, which apparently is unused in a box.
"He says he bought it from Dunedin and that one setting was removed from the box for display purposes, so I wonder if he might have a shop selling china."
She hoped an article in The Timaru Herald might help track "Philip" down.
The dinner service holds many memories for Mrs Abbess of the family home in Kent where she grew up.
"The dinner service was one used by our parents for special occasions; when they were entertaining and at Christmas.
"As my mother died, sadly very young, 26 years ago, it is older than that, and I actually inherited it when the house was sold following my father's death."
Her parents frequently entertained.
"The house was full of warm memories - lots of laughter, delicious food and wonderful cooking aromas - so the dinner service is of course associated with those memories."
The only problem was the dining table expanded to seat 16, "which is why we need the extra place settings".
"I've been keeping my eye open for several years, but as the style has been discontinued, generally there are only odd pieces available to buy."
She had tried to register for Trade Me, but as she did not have a New Zealand post code was unable to.
"I was thinking of asking one of my various New Zealand friends here in London if they could help, by which time the advertisement had time expired, so I had left it."
The dinner service style is Noritake Katrina, which has a delicate pale green and gold pattern around the rim.
"It would be fantastic if we were able to complete the set and it would certainly rekindle very happy family memories."

Inadequate passenger patronage and the escalating dissonance between the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) and the civic agencies in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram have resulted in the 15 Volvo buses operating in the two cities incurring losses.
The buses with automatic transmission, each of which costs Rs. 80 lakh, need an income of Rs.50 per km to operate on a no-profit no-loss basis.
The average income in Kochi is Rs.36 per km, while that in Thiruvananthapuram is Rs.28 per km. In January first week, the seven buses plying in Kochi earned an average of Rs.40 per km, while those in the State capital got Rs.35 per km.
At present, the four buses on the Aroor-Angamaly route fetch Rs.38 per km, while the two on the Fort Kochi-International Airport route earn Rs.35 per km.
The total earnings from the six buses fell from Rs.81,930 on January 2 to Rs.78,090 on Thursday.
Each 40-seater bus runs an average of 330 km a day and records an average occupancy of 55 per cent, down from 60 per cent a fortnight ago.
The earning is down to Rs.11,880 a bus, down from Rs.13,000 a fortnight ago. The cost of operating a km in Kochi is lower than in Thiruvananthapuram because many roads in the capital have been dug up for laying water pipelines. The buses plying in Kochi have a mileage of 2.50 km per litre of diesel, while it is 2.25 kmpl in the capital city.
Parking facilities
KSRTC MD T.P. Senkumar said that passenger patronage would increase only if the Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram Corporations readied pay-and-park facilities for cars and two-wheelers near bus stops, and provided better shelters for commuters awaiting the buses. Referring to the two Corporations demanding a stake in running the Volvo-bus fleet, he said that the respective RTC's in other States own and operate premium buses purchased under the JNNURM scheme. "It is only in Kerala that civic agencies are demanding a stake in the services. Too many players would ruin the project."
In the case of Kochi, KSRTC will spend Rs.72 crore on the total of 50 Volvo, 120 non-AC low-floor and 30 mini buses under the scheme. The Kochi Corporation has not committed any of its funds for the project. "If the civic agencies cannot provide better amenities to commuters, let them run the services using their workers," Mr. Senkumar said.
Wooing passengers
The schedules in the capital will be modified in a week, to attract more passengers. In Kochi, the KSRTC plans to market the premium buses by installing boards that mention the stops and timings of the buses, at prominent locales. It might also increase the number of stops.
Three weeks since it began operating in Kochi, many people do not know that they can travel in air-conditioned comfort up to 5 km, by paying the minimum fare of Rs.10.
"Earmarking pay-and-park centres will take time. Since the buses ply mostly along the highway (except in West Kochi), the KSRTC must take up the issue of bus shelters with the PWD and the NHAI," said Mayor Mercy Williams. She added that the RTC must give publicity to its bus stops and timings and reassure people about the promptness of the services, to make the services more effective.

See All 21 TeasRecent Tasting Notes
This was an incredible oolong with the perfect amount of Lychee flavor that lasted throughout your steepsings. I was thoroughly impressed with the not only the flavor but the quality of oolong. One of my favorites for sure.
This oolong is fragrance-infused and does actually have any pieces of fresh mint amongst the oolong fists. Yet it somehow offers a nice fresh mint taste. I loved the way the intense mint flavor combined with the creamy mouthfeel of the Alishan to remind of the creamy center of a peppermint patty.
This is the last of my stash – that is before I pack it up and send it over to Cofftea. :)
An earthy mint indeed…sure helps me breathe on this cold winter day! YUM.
no I'm not a reviewer over there… [email protected] if you need anything
You know how I LOVE MY MINT.
This is very nice.
Should have called it Hippie Tea. Minty and Earthy.
I'm going to go hug a tree now
I always seem to confuse Yuzu with something else. For some reason I used to think it was a type of herb, when it's really citrus (grapefruit-like)! After one whiff of these dried leaves though, I will never make the same mistake again. The tea itself is rolled Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess Oolong). Steeped for 4 minutes. A nice after-lunch tea.
