|For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health . . . These are the vows we take when we get married - but in our current culture we don't always understand the depth of the covenant we're making. In marriage, two are supposed to become one. So why do so many couples struggle with staying together?

|Single people dream of being married. Married people fantasize about being single.

And, when we look to other people to satisfy our deepest desires, we end up disappointed. In part 1 of our series Meant To Be, Pastor Steven explains that, while singleness and marriage are both gifts, we often misunderstand what God ultimately wants to give us through our relationships - His grace.

|Video#DeathToSelfie, Naming Rights (Call It What You Want) (Part 5)
|Just because the Bible says God works all things together for our good, does not mean everything feels good all the time. But it's often our times of greatest struggle that we can gain the most strength and increase our faith. In the final part of our series #DeathToSelfie, Pastor Steven uses the story of Jacob renaming his son Benjamin to show us that, though there are circumstances in our lives we didn't choose to go through, God has given us the rights to call any circumstance a blessing in His name.

|In life, what we see on the outside doesn't always match up with what's happening on the inside. We long for acceptance and achievement, but we look in all the wrong places to find them, leaving us disappointed and rejected. How do we find purpose in these frustrations? And how can God use us in spite of our misguided priorities? In part four of our sermon series #DeathToSelfie, Pastor Steven focuses on the story of Jacob's wives - two very different sisters struggling with the very same things, to show us how God can take our pain of rejection and disappointment and turn them into unexpected blessings for His glory.

|Humans. We are so easily discontented. And sometimes we get so caught up thinking about where we'd rather be and what we'd rather be doing, that we forget all the places God has already been with us and all He has done in and through us. In week three of #DeathToSelfie, Pastor Steven uses the story of Jacob's encounter with God at Bethel to show us that, when we surrender our lives fully to Him, we can experience God's presence wherever we are, wherever we go.

In part two of #DeathToSelfie, Pastor Steven uses the story of Esau to show us how often we choose to trade our future for something fleeting and worthless.

|Video#DeathToSelfie, Just Call Me Jacob (Part 1)
|Our 'Me-First' culture may seem like a modern problem, but since the beginning of time, we have been consumed by the internal struggle between who we really are and who we pretend to be. While we can't fool God with our disguises, we can easily lose sight of our true selves while chasing after who the world says we should be. In Week 1 of our series #DeathToSelfie, Pastor Steven shows us, through the life of Jacob, that the identity we all long for can only be given when we come to God as we really are.

|Purpose. We all want it. We want to matter. We want to have meaning. The world has a clear definition what it means to matter - whether in business or finance or achievement. But what do we do after we've achieved all the world has to offer and we are left wanting more? As Christians, how do we find our true purpose and stay focused on it?

|We tend to like when our lives play out exactly like we think they should. Our effort gives us the outcome we expect. Predictable situations give us structure we can count on. But as Christians, there's an exception. When we put God in control of our lives, the results are beyond what we could ever expect. In part three of our series Your Verse, our GTA Campus Pastor John Bishop teaches us three concepts that show, no matter who we are, where we've been, or what we've done, the rules are not the same when we come to Christ. He accepts us just as we are, with no exceptions.

|VideoYour Verse, Category Killer (Part 2)
|Most of us keep a mental balance sheet of what's good and bad in our life. And it's tempting to use that list to decide how well we are living. But the Bible teaches us, "in all things God works for the good of those who love Him." So where does that leave us when bad things happen that we can't control? In part 2 of our series Your Verse, Rock Hill Campus Pastor Tim Fara explains how Jesus' death has already determined the value of our lives - and because of that, our value can never be dictated by our circumstances.

|VideoYour Verse, It's Yours for the Taking (Part 1)
|As humans, we tend to make a lot more promises than we actually keep. Fortunately, God's promises are radically different than ours. They are guaranteed by His presence and His Word, and they are available to all believers, all the time, in all situations. In part 1 of our series Your Verse, University Campus Pastor Larry Brey explains how recognizing the presence of God in our life and focusing on His past faithfulness can immediately change the way we respond to any situation we're currently facing in our lives.

|VideoThat Thing
|God's power is unlimited, and as Christians we know there is nothing too big or difficult for Him. Yet, when we call on God, pleading with Him to fix that thing that's broken or hurting in our lives, we have a hard time believing our own prayers. But God knows our deepest needs, and when He answers our prayers in His way, He does more than change our lives - He heals our hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Steven uses a profound event in Jesus's life to teach us that, even when our faith is shaken, God is not. And when we bring our most desperate prayers to Christ, His answers are greater than we could imagine.

|We are constantly pulled in all directions every day. There are so many things that demand our attention – our family, our friends, our jobs. And then we have to deal with all the other distractions of life on top of that. How do we stay focused on our faith in a world that inundates us with these constant requests for our attention? How do we cultivate the seed God has planted in our lives when we suffer from sensory overload? In this sermon, Pastor Steven teaches us why and how we are so easily distracted, and what Jesus offers to help us regain our focus.

|VideoI'm Better Under Pressure
|Freddie Mercury was right - we're all under pressure. When we look at our lives and all we see are minefields of potential explosions, worried about our next move, or worn out by the stress of our situation, it's hard to hear God's voice above it all. If we give ourselves over to it, pressure can blind us, making us feel alone and helpless. But if we change our focus to what God can do in and through our situation, that same pressure can have the opposite result. In this sermon, Pastor Steven gives us four practical statements we can preach to ourselves when we're feeling the heat of pressure.

|Compared to everyone else, it's easy to see what we don't have, where we're lacking, and how we don't measure up. We protect ourselves from vulnerability by projecting a flimsy, false perfection to the world around us. But what do we miss when we choose to hide our true selves? In the final part of our series The Hope of Glory, Pastor Steven shows us the pain comparison can cause, and teaches us to redirect that attention towards a far more beneficial pursuit.

|It's easy for us to define ourselves by our worst moments. And it's hard to be hopeful if we are only known by our worst days. But, in part three of our series The Hope of Glory, Pastor Steven examines the life of Abraham to show us that, when God defines our lives through Christ, he doesn't focus on past mistakes or even our current feelings and circumstances. And even at the end of hope, God can use our faith to fulfill His great purpose in our lives.

|VideoThe Hope of Glory, God Works in Mysterious Ways (Part 1)
|Inside all of us there is a longing for something. A deep passion to fill our lives with purpose and meaning. We chase the world and all it offers, but our own pursuits always fall short, reminding us of a thirst for something more. And in the meantime, our mistakes and missteps have left is broken and ashamed. But no matter where we are or what we've done, Jesus has a way of working in our lives to point us to Himself - and what He can offer us instead. This Easter, Pastor Steven uses the story of the woman at the well to show us the power and eternal impact one encounter with Jesus can have on each and every one of our lives.

Besides, after the mortgage and the bills and the tuition payments, there really isn't much left over. But Scripture tells a very different story when describing what belongs to us and what belongs to God.

We are slaves to a constant and endless cycle of comparison. But why? What are we trying to prove? And to who? And ultimately, for what? In the fourth part of our series The New Rules of Resolution, Pastor Steven addresses the harmful effects our culture of competition, and the only way to truly break free from it.

|We all experience moments of doubt and defeat in our relationship with God. Why am I not growing? How does the Enemy keep backing me into a corner? Where is the victory over my flesh? As it turns out, it has a lot to do with our approach. To introduce part three of the New Rules of Resolution, Pastor Steven sat down with his friend, and former UFC champion, Vitor Belfort, as they discussed the parallels between MMA training and the Christian life Christ called us to live.

|In the world's economy, we are taught that you first achieve, then receive. You don't get your yearly bonus in January. You don't get your college degree before you take the classes. You have to do the work before you get the reward. This model is true in all areas of our lives. Except one. Because God's economy works in a different way. In the second part of our series The New Rules of Resolution, Pastor Steven explains the life-changing implications of God's exception to the rule.

Maybe we are too weak and undisciplined. Maybe we're making the wrong goals. Or maybe we're just going about it all the wrong way. In the first part of our series, The New Rules of Resolution, Pastor Steven explains to us why God is more interested in our process than our projects.

Lamont Palmer
A Vase In The Corner
Lilies opened into the outer room.
They almost overshadowed the entire place.
It was there in bright recesses the talk
Began, the colors, the aromas filling what
They knew of life with urgent, direct
Fragrance, now where they recall each moment.
A conversation erupted between
A stray image of Monet and his sincere strokes,
Dark talk and dark weathered ideas. In their
Makeshift vase, it is a question of intentions,
Who to turn to when beauty's a problem.
Any two words can be an oxymoron.
The corner, now inhabited by growth,
Comes at them in a way that's inescapable;
A duel to the (near) death of screeds, like
The corner itself produces a miracle.

Hi Lamont. I'm scrolling through the forums just for the pleasure of reading. This work is very readable, but I'd suggest that you adjust your word processor so that you are in charge of the capitalisation. Meaningful sentences are losing their flow. Take charge of your own enjambement. Good Luck. (Report) Reply

I read this three or four times and was impressed that you know of Monet. OK, that is very impressive. Then one runs into oxymoron which goes completely against the entire flow. I am surprised you aren't aware that oxymoron is not exactly a poetic word, but I guess you would argue that it was intentional, OK. In all frankness the poem is a screed. Yes, sorry, I did know what screed meant. I think you know which meaning I am referring to in this case. If not feel free to ask me. Overall I would describe this poem as a one-dimensional pressed flower. (Report) Reply

Moon, with 10 points, was the only Bears player in double figures as Galek, Christopher and Scott claimed six points apiece. For the Purple Tigers, Justin Hogan had 16 points as Jeff Brown (11 points), Caleb Wright and Brandon Babcock (10 points each) hit double figures, too.
Chittenango's girls team took a 73-30 defeat to Cortland, who moved to 6-0 on the season. A 24-5 first-quarter outburst set the tone for the rest of the night as, for the Bears, Sierra Shafer had nine points and Haines got seven points. Courtney Tennant led the Purple Tigers with 15 points as Maggie Brown and Nacirema Mann each got 14 points.
As the girls Bears play in the Fabius-Pompey Tournament early this week, the Chittenango boys host its annual Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, featuring Canastota, Bishop Grimes and Tully. The teams will play in two 16-minute halves, rather than the usual eight-minute quarters.

Best soil for container tropicals (Lychee, Mango, etc)
Folks, I have done a lot of reading and studying on the topic of soil mediums for container tropicals. However, I have not conclusively determined this answer.
Is Als Gritty Mix (1-1-1, grit/bark/turface MVP) good for Lychee and/or Mango?
What soil is your containerized lychee/mango/papaya/citrus in?
Looking for actual experience and results to discuss. Not that lychee has the same needs as mango, but I know owners of all these variaous tropicals are in this forum. I'm also planting payapa this week, a plant very prone to root rot.
5-1-1 is extremely hard to come by for some reason (I just cant find supplier of properly sized and composted bark fines in the Seattle area). This might be good as well, but honestly, I can make (and already have) the gritty mix, no prob. My only issue with gritty is, watering is needed more frequently, and its HEAVY if you have large containers, but I believe it solves other problems like deterring fungas gnats, and prevents root rot.
btw, my citrus are ALL in 4-1 CHC/peat, and are thriving. But I dont think that is the way to go for Lychee, etc.
Lots of pro's with Al's mix and there are some folks on the Tropical Fruit Forum using it. The ingredients are difficult to obtain in many areas. I've been using coconut choir in most of my mixes with lots of perlite. I keep the mix as light and airy as possible. Many of my plants require a more acidic mix so peat and/or pine bark fines are in the mix.
I have some much in containers that keeping things as simple as possible is a high priority.
I don't know why you think Citrus and Lychee can't grow in the same soil. In our orchard we have them side by side in a fairly heavy clay. Now I'm not sugggesting that is best for plants grown in cultivation, merely that growing conditions are more important than soil and most plants are in fact quite adaptable as far as the latter is concerned.I wouldn't grow any of these plants in a light, sandy (cactus) mix. If you do you will be watering them constantly and risk a poor harvest. You might like to try some of the new water absorbent granules if you think your mix will dry out too quickly. But most of all in Ohio you will need a lot of heat during the winter.
The gritty mix will work well for almost any plant, the only exceptions being certain slow growing desert plants that have very fine root systems.
If lack of moisture retention is a concern, increase the % of turface.
If you really want to see great growth in containers, plant the pot partially submerged into a spot over your garden soil (if you have space of course). Any roots that escape the drainage holes will lead to excellent growth, then in the fall you can safely prune back the roots, bring your pot indoors, then repeat in the spring.
For an update on my discoveries, I did go with chc 4-1 mix for my lychee and gritty mix for my mango. Mango is now dead, I just could not keep up on the constant need for watering, and did not have it automated.
The lychee has done great in chc. It is very sensitive to dry, do not want it to dry out. I killed one even in chc which is awesome at moisture retention. Still, you really gotta keep it watered (conveniently impossible to over water in chc). My lychee would have died quickly like my mango if I did gritty mix.
Not knocking gritty mix. Its good stuff. My young, moisture sensitive papaya loved it. solved my root rot issues on prior papaya attempts in other mediums. Just gotta remember to keep it watered, whatever you put in it!

I stayed at the Kicking Horse Lodge on business but my husband came along and we had a fantastic time. The room was clean and comfy and the staff was friendly and professional. Even though it was off season there was a good atmosphere at the pub. The best part of our stay was certainly the food and hanging out with the friendly locals at night. You can't miss the green salt duck cassoulet or the duck torchon poutine part of the winter menu!! Thanks to Sean, Jen and the staff for this memorable experience.

Cost of Obama's 2012 Regulations: $236 Billion
Despite Obama's promise to cut unnecessary regulations, his administration issued $236.7 billion in new regulations in 2012.
According to a report by the American Action Forum, headed by former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the direct costs of the regulations force America's businesses to waste 87 million man-hours to fill out regulatory paperwork.
Adding Obama's 2012 regulatory costs to that of the rest of his first term adds up to a total of $518 billion in new costs forced onto an already anemic economic recovery.
This onslaught of new regulations comes even after Obama was celebrated for claiming he was going to be the regulation-cutting president.
Indeed, in 2011, Obama released a plan claiming he would cut regulations and reduce the burden on the business sector. Not long after, Obama operative Cass Sunstein praised Obama claiming that his plan would work "to eliminate unjustified regulatory costs and to reduce burdens." Sunstein went on to say that Obama had done more to cut regulations than any president in recent history.
Sunstein was given one Pinocchio for his misleading claims and for good reason as Obama's small cuts have been dwarfed by the increases.
American Action Forum says that the costs of regulations have "added tremendous costs to the economy" and finds that the year 2012 tops every year in the past twelve in "terms of final rule cost."

BMC Molecular Biology 2010, 11:10 doi:10.1186/1471-2199-11-10Published: 22 January 2010
TFIID is a multiprotein complex that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription owing to its core promoter recognition and co-activator functions. TAF6 is a core TFIID subunit whose splice variants include the major TAF6α isoform that is ubiquitously expressed, and the inducible TAF6δ. In contrast to TAF6α, TAF6δ is a pro-apoptotic isoform with a 10 amino acid deletion in its histone fold domain that abolishes its interaction with TAF9. TAF6δ expression can dictate life versus death decisions of human cells.
Here we define the impact of endogenous TAF6δ expression on the global transcriptome landscape. TAF6δ was found to orchestrate a transcription profile that included statistically significant enrichment of genes of apoptotic function. Interestingly, gene expression patterns controlled by TAF6δ share similarities with, but are not equivalent to, those reported to change following TAF9 and/or TAF9b depletion. Finally, because TAF6δ regulates certain p53 target genes, we tested and demonstrated a physical and functional interaction between TAF6δ and p53.
Together our data define a TAF6δ-driven apoptotic gene expression program and show crosstalk between the p53 and TAF6δ pathways.

Ok so it doesn't have to be beans and rice but a legume/nut/seed and a grain, basically looking to make a complete protein out of plant based proteins in one meal, not necessarily one pot.
I like making a big pot of beans to eat throughout the week, making the rice as needed/fresh for the meal.
Currently I make pinto beans and spanish rice as well as black beans and cilantro rice. That's it. Hoping to find some inspiration or recipes from some of you.
I make white beans with garlic, lemon, sage and kale and serve them on top of polenta drizzled with a little olive oil. I add cannelini beans to spaghetti sauce.

monumental throw-down to behold, though the Artist's numerous costume changes tend toward the tedious. Tickets range from a rather pricey $35 to a whopping $75 for Purple Circle access. Those $75 seats, by the way, can only be charged by phone through Ticketmaster. To get in the spirit, I'd suggest trying a credit card without a name.
Etc.... Ever wanted to eyeball an actual Grammy? You'll have your chance soon enough. La Mafia is loaning its 1996 award for Best Mexican American/Tejano performance to Houston's Hard Rock Cafe for the next six months. There'll be an installation ceremony Tuesday, followed by a live La Mafia performance for friends and contest winners. Predictably, La Mafia's latest release, En Tus Manos, went platinum only weeks after its release. It features more of the same Latin pop and south-of-the-border balladry that earned its predecessor, Un Millon de Rosas, the Grammy nod last year.
