Sampson County 4-H'ers recently had the chance to compete on the state level with a variety of projects at the N.C. State Fair. Participants entered everything from artwork to cattle for the grand event. Youth may have been given an opportunity through summer and county workshops to learn more about their chosen project, or they may have done their own research to create an entry for the fair. Many of these projects have had an occasion to be displayed elsewhere earlier in the year at local art shows, baking competitions, or county shows. But, the State Fair is a whole other level, which our local youth rose up to and brought home several blue ribbons.
Highlights from the craft division were Logan Best who won first place with his leather bracelet, Madelyn Hall who won first place with her bug collection, Karol Kusmierczuk who won second place with a chalk drawing, Owen Flock who won second place with recycled art, Kaya Kusmierczuk who won second place with origami, Cheyenne Royal who won second place with pottery, and Amber Lackey who won both first and second place with baked goods. Thirty-six pieces in total were sent to Raleigh to the N.C. State Fair with additional categories such as wood burning and photography.
Livestock participants camped out at the fair for three days, enjoying a mixture of showing their animals, hanging out with friends from across the state, and making time to enjoy the fair rides and festivities. This was not only fun for the kids, but parents also got a chance to reminisce with old friends and make new ones. Many have said that the livestock shows can be very competitive, although, in the end, all of the families are there to help each other's youth learn to care for animals and to do their very best.
Highlights from the lamb projects were Colbey Matthis, Chasen Matthis, and Taylor Brooks receiving top 10 finishes in classes made up of at least twenty sheep. Also, Shane Kendall won the Reserve Champion Novice Pig Showman. In the cattle barn, Carlie Piercy had the Reserve Champion All Other Breed Heifer (a Simmental), Shane Kendall had the Champion Limousin Heifer, and Wyatt Kendall had the Reserve Champion Limousin Heifer. All three of these showmen made it to the final drive of the Showmanship Competition. Finally, Chloe and Claire Riley brought home blue ribbons for their Lavender Orpington, Barred Rock, & Cuckoo Maran chickens.
The 4-H office would like to thank United Way for their continued support, which makes these opportunities possible for 4-H youth.

CHL Playoffs Game Night: 4-14-10Submitted by chad on April 15, 2010 - 08:41
Mississauga St. Michael's Majors 0 @ Barrie Colts 3
Conference Finals, Game 1. Barrie leads Best of 7 Series 1-0
LW/C Alex Hutchings, BAR: 0-1-1, +1, 0 PIM
Playoff Totals: 5 GP, 1-6-7, +7, 8 PIM
Season Totals: 68 GP, 47-34-81, +44, 58 PIM
Hutchings returned to the Colts lineup after missing the Brampton series with a groin injury. He promptly earned an assist on the game's opening goal on the power play, giving him a point in each game he's played this post-season. Going back to the regular season, Hutchings has a nine-game point streak and points in 21 of his last 22 games. Barrie back-up goalie Mavric Parks (undrafted), named after Tom Cruise's character in Top Gun, picked up his first shutout of the playoffs and First Star honors. He's filling in for Barrie's top netminder, Peter Di Salvo, who was knocked out indefinitely with cartilage damage to his knee four games ago. Parks has a sparkling .962 save percentage and 1.25 GAA in four playoff games so far this year. Game 2 is Friday. Kitchener is playing Windsor in the Western Conference finals.

Wright set up the eventual game winning goal by Tomas Vincour (Stars 5/09) on the power play in the second period to help the Giants go 3-0 in Portland and take the Conference Semifinal series 4-2. Wright finished the series with 10 points (six goals) in the six games. Vancouver will now play the West's top seed, Tri-City, who defeated Chilliwack 4-2 in Round 1 and Kelowna 4-1 in the second round. No.1 Calgary faces Memorial Cup host Brandon in the Eastern Finals.
Draft Watch
Portland winger Nino Niederreiter, a prime candidate for the Lightning to pick at No.6 in this summer's draft, scored the lone Winterhawk goal in Game 6 and was named Second Star. He finished the playoffs with eight goals and eight assists for 16 points in 13 games. He had 35-24-60 in 65 games in the regular season, and missed time with Portland when he was excelling for Switzerland at the World Junior Championships (7 GP, 6-4-10).

Playoff Totals: 9 GP, 3-8-11, +6, 8 PIM
Season Totals: 65 GP, 17-43-60, +39, 72 PIM
The Wildcats had a chance to finish a sweep of the Huskies, but former Rimouski Oceanic Phillipe Cornet (Oilers 5/08) scored in the second overtime to extend the series for Rouyn-Noranda. Moncton outshot the Huskies 20-14 in the extra sessions and 50-47 overall, but were unable to complete the sweep. Barberio had two primary assists on the night, including one with under 30 seconds to play that forced overtime on a goal by Kelsey Tessier (Avalanche 4/08). Barberio has six points in the series so far (two goals), which will see it's next game Saturday in Moncton. No.1 St. John, No.2 Drummondville, and No.6 Victoriaville (swept No.3 Quebec) have already advanced to the semifinals.
Draft Watch
Moncton's Brandon Gormley, a defenseman expected to go in the 3-8 range this summer, was scoreless and minus-2 in the game. He has nine assists in nine playoff games, to go with a plus-6 rating. Gormley had 43 points (nine goals) in 58 regular season games for the Wildcats and was plus-31.

East-1 Barrie Colts 5 @ East-5 Brampton Battalion 2
Conference Semifinals, Game 4. Barrie wins Best of 7 Series 4-0
LW/C Alex Hutchings, BAR: Did not play.
Playoff Totals: 4 GP, 1-5-6, +6, 8 PIM
Season Totals: 68 GP, 47-34-81, +44, 58 PIM
Barrie swept their second straight series after easily handling Brampton 5-2 in Game 4. Hutchings, who is reportedly back practicing with the team, missed his fourth consecutive game with a groin injury. Barrie will now face either Ottawa or Mississauga in the East Finals. That series is tied at two games apiece. The loss by Brampton means the junior career of Canucks super-prospect Cody Hodgson comes to an end. Hodgson missed most of the season with a back injury. He'll likely push for a Canucks job next season if he's healthy. As for Hutchings, one would think with extended time off before the East Finals, he'll be back healthy the next time the Colts take the ice.
Draft Watch
Windsor Spitfires 3 @ Plymouth Whalers 2 (OT)
Western Conference Semifinals, Game 4. Windsor wins series 4-0
The defending Memorial Cup champs disposed of the Whalers in four games, thus ending the head-to-head match-up between CSS No.1 Tyler Seguin (Plymouth) and CSS No.2 Taylor Hall (Windsor). Hall finished the series at 3-3-6, +6; Seguin, who doesn't have a lot of help around him, was scoreless and -6 in the four games. For the playoffs, Hall is 9-7-16, +12 in 8 games; Seguin is still over a point-per-game at 5-5-10 in 9 games. Both tied for the OHL lead with 106 regular season points. With the Maple Leafs' loss Wednesday night, the Lightning would have to win next Tuesday's draft lottery to have a chance at one of these two prospects. The Lightning will likely end up picking third or fourth, which means Windsor defenseman Cam Fowler (CSS No.5) will be on their short list of choices. Fowler had an assist in Game 4 against Plymouth, giving him three for the series. He has six assists and no goals in eight playoff games this year. The Michigan native had 55 points (eight goals) in 55 regular season games.
Portland Winterhawks 3 @ Vancouver Giants 2
Conference Semifinals, Game 3. Vancouver leads Best of 7 Series 2-1
C/W/D James Wright, VAN: 2-0-2, E, 0 PIM, *Third Star*
Playoff Totals: 7 GP, 4-5-9, +5, 4 PIM
Season Totals: 21 GP, 6-13-19, -3, 17 PIM
With Tampa Bay: 43 GP, 2-3-5, -9, 18 PIM
Luca Sbisa, who began the season with the Philadelphia Flyers, scored on the power play at 2:20 of the third period to give the Winterhawks a 3-1 lead and helped them hang on for the win despite the other former NHLer in this series – former Bolt James Wright – scoring his second goal of the game with three minutes remaining. Portland is now firmly back into the series, which sees its next two games played in Vancouver this week. Wright has seven points (four goals) in the three games against Portland so far. Game 4 is Friday.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
The latter, like half the entries this year, is co-produced by Argentina, whose economy we wrecked (with the help of murderous juntas, IMF loans, and a privatization bingelong story). That fiasco caused the gas station attendant protagonist of Bombón the Dog to be laid off after 20 years. With this minimalist tale, director Carlos Sorin seems to repeat the formula behind his earlier Intimate Stories, also set (in the words of Voice comrade David Ng) in deepest Patagonian bumfuck: an array of loners, a hint of serendipity, and a dog. But Sorin's spare style belies a rich wisdom, as well as heartwarming performances from a cast of debuting nonpros. A canine plot device also co-stars in My Best Enemy, Alex Bowen's crowd pleaser about the stupidest war that almost was: In 1978, the (U.S.-supplied) Chilean and Argentine armies almost came to blows over a deserted patch of Tierra del Fuego, and in the process learned something about the brotherhood of man. Much funnier than the Falklands War. Moon of Avellaneda imagines a crumbling social club as a metaphor for Argentina, with president Ricardo Darín (who deserves his own retro) trying to keep it from falling apart. Refreshingly unsentimental, this nostalgia fest is soaked through with the bitterness of broken dreams.
No warm fuzzies for The Heart of Jesus, in which a cantankerous Bolivian bureaucratsidelined by a heart attack, dumped by his wife, and rebuffed by his health insurersteals a cancer patient's chart to hide from his creditors in the terminal ward of a hospital. Marcos Loayza's wickedly morbid satire is marred only by the redundant running commentary from a New Agey folk singer. In a similar vein, the darkly absurdist fable Buena Vida Delivery plays as a Kafkaesque twist on The Man Who Came to Dinner. In cash-strapped Argentina (see above), a nebbishy delivery boy rents out a spare room to a girl he's crushing on, and comes home one day to find her family paying an unannounced overnight visit. As the days go by and the relatives show no intentions of leaving, Leonardo Di Cesare's cringe-worthy freak show becomes increasingly difficult to watch, but it's worth every squirm.
In addition to a sidebar retro of Argentine actor Federico Luppi, two documentaries deserve special mention. Clandestinely shot in Cuba, Odd People Out scores stunning interviews with colleagues, friends, and relatives of dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas, author of Before Night Falls. The Immortal relives the Nicaraguan civil war (instigated by you-know-who) through the eyes of the Rivera family, with a twin on each side, the (Cuban- trained) Sandinistas and the (Reagan- backed) Contras. After decades of violence and hatred, the family is torn apart again by a third armyGod's. You will not see a more devastating film this year.

I really love socks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
And I'm kind of addicted to these. I really can't stop buying them every time there is a new color. They are soo soft when they are new.
Fits like a Sock
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Got these for my GF she says that they are warm, comfortable, stayed in place. Would be great specifically for running or hiking, but also for an everyday sock. Orange is cute color. Would buy again.
Amazing Socks!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love the color of these socks! I have them in mineral and coral. These breathe very well and wicks the moisture away. These held up after loosing my footing and falling in three feet of water and rapid river. My feet never got cold, they dried quickly, and made the rest of the outing bearable.

Braces for Shoulder Instability
Shoulder instability means that the shoulder joint is too loose and is able to slide around too much in the socket. In some cases, the unstable shoulder actually slips out of the socket. If the shoulder slips completely out of the socket, it has become dislocated. If not treated, instability can lead to arthritis of the shoulder joint.

Category: Australian baby names
In her guest blog, Anna Otto, of the popular site Waltzing More Than Matilda, introduces names particular to the land of Oz, explains their origins and tells us why we might consider importing them.
Australia and the United States share many popular names and name trends, but here are some examples familiar to us that have never made the US Top 1000. A few are popular in Australia, several are fashionable, rising in popularity, or well-used, and a couple are notable for becoming the choice of hip parents. But can any of these names make it in America? Some might just need a bit more exposure, while others are probably not as usable. Which do you feel strangely drawn to, and which simply bewilder you?
Today's guest blogger, Aussie Anna Otto, tells us what she sees ahead for Australian baby names in 2012.
Baby Name Trends from Australia for 2012
Nameberry has brought us the Jack City
Jack has been Top 100 since the 1980s, and solidly Top 10 since the 1990s. Attempts to replace him with cutesy short forms such as Archie are going well, but nothing beats the blunt one-syllable nickname that sounds like a man rather than a boy. Hence we have names like Bill, Joe, Bob, Sid, Frank and Dan turning up in birth announcements, and spotted on celebrity babies too. They've got Depression-era chic – perfect for the current mood of global economic gloom. Can any of them become the new Jack though?
We've still got five months to wait before we get the official word on what the top names across America were in 2009, but in the meantime we can console ourselves with the lists that have started to come in of the most popular names in various US cities, states and even individual hospitals, and in in other cities and countries around the world.
One thing seems clear: the romantic trio of Isabella, Sophia and Olivia is running a three-way race for first place in many areas of the world, while Jack continues his reign in a number of English-speaking countries.
We've been looking at the lists that have been released so far and have put together a selection (or hodgepodge) of some of the more interesting choices: top-ranked international names that are barely known to us, surprising choices that have popped up in unexpected places, and just plain noteworthy names–and we'll be updating it as more results come in.
ANDELA — #2 in Serbia
AOIFE — # 4 in Derry, Northern Ireland
AURORA — #8 in Finland
CHARLOTTE — #2 in Canberra, Australia
CHLOE — #1 in Sheffield, England and Queensland, Australia
DARYNA — #5 in Ukraine
ELLIE — #1 in Derry, Northern Ireland
EMILIA — #2 in Finland
EVIE– #4 in Sheffield, England
ISLA — #2 In Aberdeenshire, Scotland
JOVANA — #4 in Serbia
KAYLEE — #5 in Flagstaff, Arizona
LÉA — #2 in France
Even though Australian baby names are a lot like British names, they do also have their own distinctive flavor. The blend of cultures Down Under and the strong presence of several enduring indigenous languages and groups have a powerful influence on Australian baby names (the complex Aboriginal naming traditions definitely deserve a future blog of their own). Last year, for example, though Australia's most popular list included Jack and Ella, Joshua, Ethan, Emily, Chloe and Mia, also high up on their list were Matilda, Isla, Lachlan (the name of Oz newspaper mogol Rupert Murdoch's high-profile son), the Scottish-influenced Angus, and the nickname-name Archie.
Aussie heroes–from outlaws like Ned Kelly to poets like Banjo Paterson to politicians such as Prime Minister Geogh Whitlam–provide some interesting and adoptable namesakes.
Here are some from the world of sports:
EVONNE Goolagong
KARRIE Webb
KEL Nagle
KIEREN Perkins
LIESEL Jones
LIONEL Rose

LOL it would make no difference cause the bid-ask was close all day and was $33.40 in pre-market even. Probably a late print or something but you people crack me up STILL after all this time.
If I don't remember what I wrote 13 days ago why do you??? Why haven't you been inducted into the stalker Hall of Fame? You save old topics, hang on my every word usually writing in SECONDS, create ID's to impersonate me and use other ID's to stalk me. I want to know are you like those crazy fans that shoot or stab celebrities while wearing a wedding dress thinking its real life?
Out with almost 60% gains on those calls for the day! Its important that it holds $33.10 and $33.20+ is even better to get back to the $34/$35 level. What a week...killed it on Monday with 3 perfect trades of NSC, took a hit with NFLX and Z(not down too much today) and killed with Yahoo while my NSC is up significantly trading between $76.50-$77.50 has been GOLD!
He's trying to inflate his worth since his real life is depressing. Years ago, he went with Geier828(he recreated it recently) and that literally had 10,000+ posts. He also had Timesnewroman, LostitallonFatbetty, Toadytimes, Newtoadytimes, Maxwellends etc. etc. You can always tell which are his ID's as they worship Coldone, paste articles usually from SeekingAlpha or Motley Fool, lack basic intelligence, stalk me like no other for outing those ID's and make THOUSANDS upon thousands of phantom buys. Oh and should you call him out on something he'll try and twist it to make it about you as its his only defense mechanism.
"Everyone knows"...you say that ALL THE TIME and as I said earlier you're delusional and not in reality. Did Yahoo bounce off of $32...YEP!!! Were those options purchased at $1.23...YEP!!! Are they currently sitting at 1.73...YEP!!! Looks like a real profit to me now wouldn't it be great if one of your ID's had a real profit? Using 6 or 7ID's to make up phantom buys the past 2 days has to get old by now doesn't it?
Now 45% gains on those options!!! Told you this morning it'd head back to $33...I should stalk myself you know that but how does one create so many multiple ID's?
Fools??? I'm up over 30% for the day and if this heavy volume pushes it to $33.10+ then I'll wait and perhaps DOUBLE my money. 1. No one shorted from $11 to $27 so your lying isn't helping your case of being a respected human. 2. I've never lied about being long as I've owned shares at $25. You've just grown delusional and can't accept reality. 3. I would never EVER join that imaginary fake trading mentally unstable army! I like my life and to train to be a suicide bomber like you and your aliases simply isn't for me. Let me know and I'll gladly flip the detonation switch!!! Oh and don't bother making a bunch of #$%$ topics about this trade as you and I both know it'll never be held till expiration. Just know it'll end with a profit:) 6 for 7 so you can keep track!
I myself added with Oct. options that expire next week in the $32's at $1.23 and now they're at $1.43. I figure it'll bounce back to $33 like it did yesterday. The real funny thing in this thread mine is the only one that is REAL!hahahahaha
There is zero chance that they default and up until today the bond market had it pegged at 1-2%, IDK what it is now but the President via the 14th amendment can raise it anyway. They've raised it 45 times since Reagan and suddenly they're not going to again? The US defaults and we're talking DOW 6500-7000 again, a WORSE recession than the Great Recession with not a single Republican being re-elected again especially the Tea Baggers(hahaha). Not pay Social Security recipients who VOTE cause of an arbitrary limit in the sky is suicide? They can #$%$ around with the "shutdown" even though as my friend from the VA told me will be PAID while on "vacation" while he's considered an essential employee so works for free but the debt ceiling will be raised. Both parties simply can't be THAT dumb...no way!
All the high fliers are getting taken to the woodshed...Priceline, Facebook, Netflix, Zillow just to name a few but those are also one's that have gone up substantially lately. Yahoo is up 20% for the month or something.
Except in 2004 the shares never traded that low and ran from January till the end of the year in the 60's. In 05', it split at $88.99 down to $45 as I had calls leading up to that point but only now split adjusted was it ever in the teens. So realistically Apple has gone from $45 February 05' to $200 in 2007 down to $80's in the Great Recession back up to its current levels of $490, where I have a call spread ITM. 1. You're too emotional if you're saying "sick and tired" and 2. You need to have a plan of exit for every position you enter whether its a loss or a gain. 3. Money comes and goes and there will ALWAYS be a monster stock to be had till the day I die...you only need ONE! I think Potbelly's(PBPB) will have a Chipotle(CMG) type run as I've been eating Potbelly's in Minnesota since 2005' and will make a side trip in the Twin Cities to get it as its that good. GL
I have 20 contracts jan 2014 calls $20 strike
i payed $2,000 now worth $29,000 not selling will hold till January
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I went into my options account and brought up that very chart and if you can tell me when it was a $1, I'll give you a congrats, cause you pull this rabbit out of the hat you deserve the congrats for an excellent trade! It only did it a few times since they were available.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
LOL to be honest I didn't read your post till this one or the one's on the weekend. You are on ignore 99.9999% of the time otherwise I do tell you when I've read something, Yahoo does have me sign-in quite frequently lately and this board is glitching quite frequently with topics from those on ignore appearing then disappearing so stuff slips through the cracks every so often. As for what I said above, you both have said it for the last few days or months and people have said it for YEARS so don't read too much into it about it being today specifically. As for "fooling you", considering I haven't lied one iota you're certainly not as smart as you think you are. The conspiracy stuff has messed with your mind
No its not and I'll bet you that you can't prove it either...loser, obviously YOU, disappears forever. You also take all of your loser ID's with you. I do see you want the title of Most Hated Human cause both Basket and Eric seemed to have told you to go #$%$ yourself!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Why are you so handicapped??? Those puts were bought, a MONTH AGO, and considering I was 5 for 5 at that point trading both sides PERFECTLY then its alright what I do. I also SOLD those puts losing .15, once again, WEEKS AGO, when Yahoo was under $30. Why aren't you making tons of topics whining about the extra $1 profit I left on the table in my $28/$29 call spread I closed early??? I know why its cause it was a profit and REAL, its sad how allergic to money you are, kind of made you #$%$ and mentally unstable. You know what is fun to watch...a loser who has a tea party at his Barbie table with phantom friends like Sublimalt, Tetherturd, Nanobot, Toadytimes, Co1done? Not a single person can stand you and we both know Eric Steinem and Basket are as bullish as they come and you even s*** on them like a deranged lunatic. Which title are you most proud of...Worlds Dumbest Human or Worlds Most Hated Human?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Why do you lie??? All you do is lie which is why you use created ID's to try and bump your worth...absolutely pathetic even for a Yahoo employee who does NOTHING! Give me a few good reasons on why I would short Yahoo??? If you haven't noticed I've been right for a very very very very long time on Alibaba Group. Even if you go with my argument against Gloom in which I used Tencent as a reference that was 4yrs ago already. AG was worth $16B at the time so is it any wonder you worship me? Sorry I don't hang around Yahoo but today is GREAT...sold the $490 Apple calls I had for $2.05 at $4 cause of Icahn, they were $4.30 earlier and well below $2 to start the day. Have a $485/490 call spread that is up too! Oh, and Yahoo is getting closer for you to make money, I mean, PHANTOM MONEY!!!hahahahahahaha Put in just one phantom sell...use that ID you created in July that appeared, last night, to do it! "tl" something.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Here is the thing: Obamacare has ZERO to do with the situation and while Republicans are 0-40 getting it repealed that should be left to a later debate. To hold the federal gov't hostage is crazy to me and judging by the 0-40 record seems pretty shady IMO. If in 1yr or 2yrs or 5yrs it doesn't work or parts don't work then change it then but to do it now is dumb. A committee???hahahahaha They want to defund it completely so what is the point? Then again the Republicans have gone bats*** crazy the last few years anyway with Bachmann's Tea Party rants and outright lies to go with Trump with his lunacy its a disaster. I don't even vote along party lines but all of the Democrats I seen on CNBC yesterday simply wanted to continue funding for the gov't. Republicans are trying to shove Obamacare stuff in...let it go as it passed, Supreme Court said it was legal, so do some REAL work! A bunch of adult babies in Congress!
Except they WILL be paid and with interest so no big deal! EVERY government employee will get paid so the fact Congress is wasting time is ridiculous. The budget will be passed and the debt ceiling will be raised just like it has the 17 times before it. Unlike a struggling business owner that has "indentured servants" cause their checks bouncing the US Govt's does not bounce, it happens you'll see quite the market fall!
I'll give a thumbs up for that cause the multiple ID stuff has made the boards garbage and this isn't the only stock its happened too. Every board that has consistent posting has it. There is one, Singhlion something, that rivals Coldone but unlike Coldone, who annoys here only, Singhlion will follow you across many boards and even try to chat while in your email. 2-3yrs ago, I was in my email and he kept popping up with various ID's it was crazy.
Cause I've stated it last time you've made this accusation, I've repeated myself 3 times now over the last few months. I didn't even WRITE you much less yell at you as you posted yesterday to "stop that story" when I wrote AJBLO...are you AJBLO? Outside of TODAY, I haven't written to you since last time you made that accusation so a month ago, all posts since that time have not been read. I haven't attacked you on a daily basis or anything else as I left you alone thus on ignore. We can agree on one thing as the board is ridiculous thus trying to get said Yahoo employee removed but that has proven fruitless so I've barely posted. The intelligent convo has disappeared long ago...you want info go to Stocktwits as people Tweet articles before anywhere else and post charts. WebDave and EricSteinam are already there from what I've seen.

The rigors of the M.Div. and M.A. programs demand that all applicants have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an institution recognized by Shepherds Theological Seminary. Exceptions are made only in extraordinary circumstances. However, students who are currently enrolled in bachelor's degree programs in recognized colleges and universities and are at or entering senior standing, may seek early admission to Shepherds. This practice allows the serious student to gain advanced credit that would apply towards final M.A. or M.Div. degrees requirements. The student must make formal application, including transcripts, and undergo an interview with the Dean of the Seminary and selected faculty. Students seeking the Associate of Church Ministry do not need college credit, but they do need to have applicable ministry experience.
Shepherds Theological Seminary does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, age, national and ethnic origin or disability. This policy extends to its administration of admissions policies, educational programs, scholarships and other programs administered by the seminary.

Its mixed architecture and celebrated flamenco make Andalucía's largest city one of passion, history and irresistible charm.
Columbus's personal timeline has been so enigmatic that both Seville, Spain and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic lay claim to the explorer's remains.
With Unesco recently listing flamenco as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, here are some of the best places to see the precious art in the land of its genesis.
The acquisition of an early work by Diego Velázquez has helped rekindle interest in a city that has long played second fiddle to Madrid and Barcelona in the artistic pecking order.
From Roman ruins to Moorish minarets, the Spanish city offers visitors an incredible mix of architectural statements shaped by more than 1,300 years of history – for now.
Food in the Andalucían city is not just about what you eat – it is about how, when and where you eat it too.
In just five years this forward-thinking Spanish city has instituted a bike-sharing scheme, electric car and tram programmes, a metro system and the first solar power plant in Europe.

Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson was delighted to see Danny Sturridge score his first senior goal in Sunday's FA Cup defeat at Sheffield United.
"You can see Daniel is a very good player," remarked Eriksson.
"He had not played for six months, but he came on in a game like this and you could see he is physically strong, his technique is fantastic and he scored a very good goal."
Yet Eriksson is wary of pushing Sturridge too far, too soon, even though he is struggling for numbers in attack.
After off-loading Rolando Bianchi to Lazio on loan last week, the Swede also has Valeri Bojinov still recovering from cruciate knee ligament surgery and Nery Castillo from a separated shoulder.
"When I came to England in August I had never seen Sturridge play football. I had only heard about him, but I knew of his talent," added Eriksson.
"I saw him a couple of weeks ago in training, initially with the reserves and then the first team, and he showed he is good.
"But I don't know if we can expect him to play for the rest of the matches (in the Premier League) after six months without a game. That might be dangerous and too much."

SD Gundam G Generation Overworld
So, How many Created Characters did you make?.
I basically went nuts with all 10 slots, under a bit of a theme (Humans stranded in the Digital World, due to the implications of the Generation System in World):
1) Nepgear (currently in Astray Red Frame, may transfer over to GP-01, will end in 00-Quanta if I can find a fast route to Exia or 0 Gundam): NT Main Protag pilot.
2) Uni (Phoenix Zero ATM): Tsundere Love interest pilot
3) Ram (JMS60 Busshi): Twin sister of Rom
4) Rom (Sword Strike/Launcher Strike): Twin sister of Ram, NT pilot towards Ranged
5) Neptune: Nepgear's older sister, previous heroine in World
6) Blanc: Previous Heroine in World, Ram and ROm's older sister
7) Noire: Previous Heroine in World, Uni's older sister
8) Vert: Previous Heroine in World
Yep, was on a Neptunia kick at the time... too bad I can't match the VAs right...
9) Adam Savage (Astray Red Frame): Mythbuster, replacing the Top Gear guys thanks to the pilot limit
10) Jamie Hyneman: Mythbuster, Adam's parter, planned foil.
Back in World, I have the presenters from Top Gear piloting mechs (from the UK and US teams)... yes pray to god when those guys screw around...
lol and I was just thinking of making an all female Neptunia team.
"You see, to men, breast size is a lot like Coke or Pepsi. We may state a preference...but we'll take whatever's on tap." - JJ Whitehead
AH, planning to go Neptunia as well? To be honest I picked some pretty weird choices... Blanc in Turn A, Neptune in 00-Raiser, all that stuff...
I'm just gonna match them according to their colors, no idea for Iris Heart/Pururut though.

Ah, CPU/CPU Canidates only like what I'm doing... fun
Anyhow, matching them by color has a few problems starting out: Uni and Noire would wind up piloting Titans/A-LAW/Veigan Suits and unless you take the respected correct Masters (Jerid, Mr Bushido, and Desil), breaking into their trees can prove to be a real challenge, especially the Veigan suits (you do get chances to nab one when you see the Fa Bose but beyond that, most Evolutions do not directly lead into a Veigan suit). I personally went with either their CPU weapon, or image their unit choices based on what you feel like is appropriate for the headstory.
... honestly adding in the Makers would only get me into trouble, as in "Overflow of pilots", so I simply stuck to the CPUs, the boys of Top Gear is a "why not" and the US team to fill out the team, sorry Compa and IF fans...
3 on my account.
One is Rainbow Dash, seriously. I put RainbowCrash88's FiM music as her theme.
The second is Arek Powalan, an undergrowth man (00 kid avatar) with hotblooded personality. Specializes in Melee. I put him in either the Ex-S or Crossbone X-3
The third is Seera Bransford, suited in War in the Pocket's blue outfit. Specializes in range attacks and piloting sniper units.
The later two are from my RPG Maker projects. They are a couple.

We love Mahogany Cove for the quiet & peaceful island surroundings, the great fishing & snorkeling off the dock in our own "back yard", and the comfortable home-away-from-home feel of this very special place. We started coming to Mahogany Cove for holidays when the kids were small and found it so easy to vacation with our family and a guest or two as well. The lay-out of the house, with it's long beach-side screened porch, is perfect. The house is well maintained with up-to-date amenities and the property managers are friendly and always glad to help. We love the open kitchen and cook for ourselves most of the time, but also enjoy the nearby local restaurants and take-out places (for our favorite jerk-chicken). Our most recent stay was for our son's destination wedding and it was great to have all the family and friends out to the house to celebrate. We love coming back to Mahogany Cove and look forward to many more years of family holidays in our "Cayman home".
I've stay at this house on many occasions and have always come back to the same house for years,it's like coming home to a old friend. The views from the porch is unmatched. To get out of bed in the morning and your first cup of coffee in the morning and have that view is great. the whole house has been completely restored over the past few years and it shows. I stayed in many other homes but this one just stands out. Not to far out of town, their are many local restaurants and pubs at local prices or you can on into town and spend far more, but will not get the local favor of the island. Over the edge, Kibo,Rum point to name a few. A great place to kick back and relax with your.....well you know.
Payment is usually accepted in the quoted currency (US Dollar) unless the currency and the amount is specifically agreed in advance with the owner / advertiser.

Climate change is affecting behaviour and phenology in many animals. In migratory birds, weather patterns both at breeding and at non-breeding sites can influence the timing of spring migration and breeding. However, variation in responses to weather across a species range has rarely been studied, particularly among populations that may winter in different locations. We used prior knowledge of migratory connectivity to test the influence of weather from predicted non-breeding sites on bird phenology in two breeding populations of a long-distance migratory bird species separated by 3,000 km. We found that winter rainfall showed similar associations with arrival and egg-laying dates in separate breeding populations on an east–west axis: greater rainfall in Jamaica and eastern Mexico was generally associated with advanced American redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) phenology in Ontario and Alberta, respectively. In Ontario, these patterns of response could largely be explained by changes in the behaviour of individual birds, i.e., phenotypic plasticity. By explicitly incorporating migratory connectivity into responses to climate, our data suggest that widely separated breeding populations can show independent and geographically specific associations with changing weather conditions. The tendency of individuals to delay migration and breeding following dry winters could result in population declines due to predicted drying trends in tropical areas and the tight linkage between early arrival/breeding and reproductive success in long-distance migrants.
