Please be aware of the following press release.
Updated Statement by Tommy HillSovereign Grace Ministries Director of AdministrationNov. 14, 2012Re: Civil Lawsuit Filed Against Sovereign Grace Ministries in Maryland's Montgomery County Circuit Court
Sovereign Grace Ministries (SGM) leadership has obtained a copy of the civil lawsuit filed Oct. 17 against SGM and several pastors from its associational churches. This complaint makes broad allegations that SGM pastors were negligent, resulting in errors and omissions in pastoral counseling and spiritual care, which was voluntarily sought and provided years ago to some families of child abuse victims.
The suit does not allege child abuse by any current or former pastor of SGM or any church associated with SGM. The suit does not allege child abuse by any employee or staff of SGM or any church associated with SGM. The suit does not allege any child abuse occurred on any SGM property or any church associated with SGM.
SGM leaders provided biblical and spiritual direction to those who requested this guidance. This care was sought confidentially, as is a right under the First Amendment. We are saddened that lawyers are now, in essence, seeking to violate those rights by asking judges and juries, years after such pastoral assistance was sought, to dictate what sort of biblical counsel they think should have been provided. SGM believes that allowing courts to second guess pastoral guidance would represent a blow to the First Amendment, that would hinder, not help, families seeking spiritual direction among other resources in dealing with the trauma related to any sin including child sexual abuse.
SGM is not in a position to comment on the specific allegations at this time, but upon review it appears the complaint contains a number of misleading allegations, as well as considerable mischaracterizations of intent. Legal counsel is preparing responsive pleadings.
Child sexual abuse is reprehensible in any circumstance, and a violation of fundamental human dignity. We grieve deeply for any child who has been a victim of abuse. SGM encourages pastors from its associated churches to minister the love, grace, and healing of God to any who have suffered this horrific act.
SGM is committed to integrity and faithfulness in pastoral care, as are the pastors of local congregations. We take seriously the biblical commands to pursue the protection and well-being of all people – especially children, who are precious gifts given by the Lord and the most vulnerable among us. These biblical commands include fully respecting civil authority to help restrain evil and promote righteousness as Romans 13 instructs us. SGM also encourages the establishment of robust child protection policies and procedures based on best practices.
SGM churches are separately organized and constituted in their respective communities. They voluntarily partner together for certain aspects of their broader common mission: to plant churches, develop resources, train pastors and serve international ministries in order to proclaim the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask that you please join us in praying that God guides and leads all of us in these challenging circumstances, ministering his grace, comfort and peace to all who are affected by this situation, and that His truth would prevail.

Statement by Tommy HillSovereign Grace Ministries Director of AdministrationRe: A Civil Lawsuit Filed Against Sovereign Grace Ministries Oct. 17 in Maryland's Montgomery County Circuit Court
Though not yet served, Sovereign Grace Ministries (SGM) leadership has obtained a copy of the civil lawsuit filed last week against SGM and several pastors of its associational churches. This recent complaint makes broad allegations that SGM pastors were negligent in providing spiritual counsel and pastoral care in situations involving persons who had previously suffered child sexual abuse. It is important to note that it does not allege any act of child abuse by a pastor or staff member of SGM or of an associated church. SGM is not in a position to comment on the specific allegations at this time, but we are beginning a careful legal review of each allegation. Upon initial review it appears the complaint contains a number of untrue or misleading allegations, as well as considerable mischaracterizations of intent.
Child sexual abuse is reprehensible in any circumstance, and a violation of fundamental human dignity. We grieve deeply for any child who has been a victim of abuse. We want to minister the love, grace and healing of God to any who have suffered this horrific act.

Statement by Sovereign Grace Ministries on Reported Lawsuit
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – Today, Sovereign Grace Ministries Director of Finance and Administration, Tommy Hill, released the statement below regarding a reported lawsuit on October 17, 2012:
It has come to the attention of Sovereign Grace Ministries through media outlets that a lawsuit has been filed against Sovereign Grace Ministries related to allegations of child abuse apparently arising in the 1980s and 90s. To date, Sovereign Grace Ministries has not been served with any such lawsuit nor does it have a copy of the lawsuit. Sovereign Grace Ministries is not in a position to comment on the allegations of the reported lawsuit. Child abuse in any context is reprehensible and criminal. Sovereign Grace Ministries takes seriously the Biblical commands to pursue the protection and well being of all people, especially the most vulnerable in its midst, little children.
Sovereign Grace Ministries is a family of over 80 churches, primarily in the United States with the goal of proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ both locally and globally.
For more information, please contact Tommy Hill at firstname.lastname@example.com
We pass on an encouraging report from Dave Nelson about the efforts of Grace Christian Fellowship to serve and evangelize their neighbors in inner city Spokane, Washington.
Grace Christian Fellowship is located in a low income neighborhood within Spokane's inner city. The church is surrounded by single moms and families on welfare.
From 2010 – 2011 we did a variety of things starting with going door-to-door and handing out invitations to church. We also invited individuals to an "Alpha like" dinner called "Christianity Explored." However, the overall impact was minimal and none of our efforts seemed to build bridges within the community or lead to a common mission for the church to embrace together.
In the fall of 2010, in the context of prayer, God led us to a book by Darren Patrick titled, "Church Planter – The Man, The Message, The Mission". This book shifted our direction from a flurry of unrelated activities to a defined platform. Patrick, describes a process their church (The Journey – Saint Louis) underwent to build an evangelistic culture. Quoting from the book,
After well-intended but unfocused activity… we realized that we had not built any relationships, shared struggles, carried burdens, or really loved our neighbors that way we should have… The turning point came when we got connected with the local elementary school, Adams Elementary… We discovered that if you wanted to make an impact in that neighborhood, you had to begin by making an impact at Adams Elementary. Armed with new direction and enthusiasm, (their mission group), decided to put all their financial and people resources into Adams Elementary… in the hopes that they would help transform that neighborhood, then transform the neighborhood next to that, and so on.
Believing a similar approach was God's will for our church, we contacted the elementary school—which happened to be across the street—in the Fall of 2011 and asked the Principal if there was any way we could serve them. The Principal gladly affirmed that they needed help, and that we could serve them best in the area of mentoring. She informed us that mentoring would take 30 minutes. Mentors would eat lunch with a student, chosen by the teachers based on greatest need, and simply spend time with them.
For the school year ending in June, 2012 we had the privilege to mentor 16 kids. Our desire from the beginning was not only to love these kids and form relationships with them, but through them to make meaningful contact with their parents and guardians. While our conviction is that the Gospel alone saves, relationships open the doors for gospel proclamation. We are finding that as we commit to these kids we ingratiate ourselves with their parents.
In an effort to meet the parents, last spring, we hosted a dinner for the kids and their parents. We printed flyers for the kids to bring home. three (of the sixteen) showed up with a parent or guardian. We hope to do two more of these dinners next year. With better advertising, we just might attract more families.
Furthermore, through a summer program, and the extreme generosity of the Union Gospel Mission, we were able to invite 50 kids, ages 8-12 to a week long summer camp. Through our relationships with the school administrators and teachers we were given full access to the appropriate classrooms in order to explain the camp and pass out flyers.
Our teaching curriculum included session's on "Creation", "The Fall" , "Redemption" and "Glory". One criterion for the camp was for parents to pre-register in order to meet the camp staff, complete the necessary paperwork and preview the teaching material. In that meeting we were able to present them with the Gospel message. Only one family withdrew their child from the camp. Afterwards, each child received a hand written "thank you" note from their counselor.
On Sept 9 we are starting a 6 week Sunday School using "The Gospel of John" video. We are using the following process for recruitment. 1) Call parents and get permission to send invitation. 2) Mail invitation. 3) Call to make sure they received the invitation. 4) Mail a "save the date" reminder. 5) Call the week of and ask for a commitment.
We have no idea what interest this will generate, or how many will actually come, but we have contact information for roughly 50 households in our neighborhood. God has sovereignly put these individuals on our hearts and we pray for them regularly and will continue to pray.
Please pray with us that God will bless our efforts here. This is not a "program." We are in it for the long haul.
We've invited Tim Kerr, pastor of Sovereign Grace Church Toronto (Ontario), to answer the question, "If prayer is such a good thing, why does it seem so hard?"
Tim has studied and taught on the topic of prayer extensively. Most recently, Tim spoke on this topic at The Gospel Coalition's Regional Conference in Ontario. Tim is also the author of the excellent Scripture-based prayer resource Take Words With You.
If prayer is such a good thing, why does it seem so hard? Of the many reasons for this struggle, most would not come up with the reason given by the prophet Isaiah: "There is no one who calls upon your name, who rouses himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have made us melt in the hand of our iniquities" (Isa. 64:7).
According to Isaiah, prayerlessness is evidence of a judgment from God. This is sobering to contemplate. With a few notable exceptions, the North American church is not especially known for its vibrant prayer life. This problem, according to Isaiah, is not going to be fixed by a few more strong exhortations, reading the right books, a new conference on prayer, or even better daily discipline.
If the sun were removed from our solar system, the earth would quickly grow dark, cold, and all life would soon stop. We need the sun's presence to stay alive. In spite of all of our technological progress, we are utterly dependent on the sun. In the same way, we are dependent on the light of God's face for prayer. If God hides his face from us, prayer becomes very difficult, if not impossible.
Until the light of God's face shines on us, our prayers will likely remain shallow, short, or absent altogether. Isaiah mentions another cause of prayerlessness: our sin. The word "melt" has the idea of losing strength. Indulged sin, even if limited to the thought life, will effectively paralyze prayer.
So what's to be done? In order to receive the grace to change, we need to implore God to help us, but that is our problem in the first place!
If sin makes God hide his face, the great question is, "What then makes God show his face?" If we find the answer to this, we will start to unravel the root problem of our prayerlessness.
The Scripture speaks of only one reality that compels the Almighty to turn his face toward us. When the Ancient of Days has His exacting justice fully satisfied, all shall be well between creature and Creator. But how can an infinite being ever be fully satisfied? An offering must be made that is not only capable of dying the sinners death, but of swallowing the everlasting darkness of that infinite sentence. Surely only one who is both Transcendent and Immanent could possibly qualify. Infinite Spirit mixed with flesh and blood. Set apart from sinners yet not set apart from humanity.
Here is the word we are looking for. Propitiation. Where the offended God is appeased fully. Where fury is turned to favour. The lamb slain from the foundation of the earth. Sent on a mission propelled by God's love to drink every drop of the wine of God's wrath. Not a drop left over for us. Not a single drop!
In other words, propitiation provides for prayer! So here's the practical part. The first movements of renewal in prayer begin with a look at Calvary—but not in the way we usually look at that sacred cross. We are prone to see the cross horizontally—what it does for us, what Jesus did on the cross for us. But the jumper cable "look" at the cross that restarts our prayer lives is of a completely different variety. We must look at the cross vertically—what the cross did to God, how the cross affected infinite holiness. How the cross satisfied God.
Look now. Do you see the light of his face? The frown of God turned to a smile! Nothing reinvigorates prayer like the welcoming face of our God, arms outstretched, welcoming us into his presence! Let that light draw you to Him today!
"In the light of a king's face there is life, and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain" (Prov. 16:15).

Over the next two days, SGM pastors will gather in Louisville, Kentucky to present their polity positions papers to the SGM Polity Committee. To date, the Committee has received 24 papers that have been made available to all SGM pastors for review and further study.
While churches in Sovereign Grace Ministries have enormous agreement on so much, polity is one area of our partnership that needs to be further defined. We want our polity to grow out of a robust doctrine of the church but also to be useful and practical, helping us work together in the areas where Scripture is silent or lacking in detail. The work before our pastors and Polity Committee is significant. We request that you partner with us in prayer, especially over the next couple of days, as this important work takes place.
You can pray for the following:
1. Clarity for the SGM pastors presenting papers
2. Wisdom for the Polity Committee as they consider these presentations and make recommendations to the Board
3. Unity as a family of churches through this process as we endeavor to plant and build churches together with the gospel of Jesus Christ
May God grant us wisdom from above and love for one another as we approach this most important task.
For more information regarding the purpose, goals, scope, process, and questions to be answered by the Polity Committee, download the Letter to SGM Pastors Concerning Polity.
Today, Jim Donohue, pastor for evangelism at Covenant Fellowship Church in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, shares his thoughts on evangelism and talks about a course he helped prepare for evangelism training.
Water skiing can be scary. You're floating in dark water behind a powerful boat that's revving its engines. Two planks of wood are strapped to your feet, and you are holding onto a rope attached to the engines. Meanwhile, someone is gently and soothingly encouraging you with the essential instructions to survive on the aforementioned wooden slats. "Keep your ski tips up, bend your knees, lean back, keep your back straight, and lock your elbows!" As you desperately try to remember these tips, the soothing voice asks, "Are you ready?"
You give a tentative nod, and the soothing voice suddenly screams, "Hit it!"
It can all be a little unnerving, and so can evangelism. In fact, water skiing is a lot like evangelism. It's a little scary at first but once you get going, it's a lot of fun."
It really is true. I've shared the gospel in quite a variety of contexts, and believe it or not I still feel hesitant before I begin. The little voice in my head whispers, "I'm not sure this is a good idea!" But then the Spirit inside of me says, "Hit it!" and I end up opening my mouth.
Once I open my mouth, the conversation unfolds and is often very enjoyable. However, in the two decades of my Christian life, I have found that whenever I seek to share the gospel, I am met with resistance and doubt. I have never found a way to erase these feelings, but I have learned to overcome them. And I've experienced the flood of joy that comes when I overcome the flesh and obey God's command to evangelize. It's a little like finally getting up on those skis and skimming across the lake with the wind in your hair.
The gospel is the most powerful and precious message in the world. As followers of Christ, we are called to share this message with others. God does not want us to keep this good news to ourselves! But there are many challenges that we face when it comes to reaching out to people with the gospel. We can feel scared or guilty or hypocritical or busy. We can lack courage, conviction, time, or an understanding of the depth of what Christ has done for us. These things often can keep us from jumping into the water even though we know that obeying our Savior brings joy. So what can we do? Where can we find that soothing voice that helps us get up on our skis?
It's a good question and one that prompted us to develop the Proclaim Course. This seven-week small group DVD course is designed to encourage and equip average Christians to join God in the unstoppable proclamation of the gospel. The course helps us to understand God's role and our role in evangelism as well as the incredible motivation that comes from the gospel. We also learn how to be ourselves when reaching the lost, how to build friendships with unbelievers, and how to share the gospel faithfully when opportunities arise. It's an easy way to get up on your skis.
Even though evangelism is challenging and our hesitant feelings may not go away, we can share the gospel with confidence because we have the Spirit's grace-filled presence with us saying "Hit it!"
If you'd like to find out more about the topic of evangelism, check out the Proclaim DVD Course.
As I noted in a post a few weeks ago, we have seated a sub-committee of pastors to begin the process of developing a comprehensive polity for Sovereign Grace Ministries and our member churches. This word, "polity," has been kicked around a lot in our circles recently, sometimes without definition.
"Polity" is simply the stated rules of how an organization governs itself. For our ministry, we want our polity to grow out of a robust doctrine of the church but also to be useful and practical, creating mutual understandings of how we work together in those areas where Scripture is silent or lacking in detail.
The Board appointed seven men to the committee; you can find their names in the document linked below that was sent to all our pastors last week. You'll also find in this document a description of the process the committee will engage and some parameters for their proposal, including some initial questions for them to address. One interesting part of the process is the Committee's invitation to all Sovereign Grace pastors to present position papers to the Committee for their consideration before they write their proposal for the Board.
Please pray for the men on the committee and for their work. We in Sovereign Grace have enormous agreement on so much, but this is one area of our life together that must be defined. Please pray that what results from their work will further our unity as a family of churches as together we endeavor to plant and build churches together by the grace of God.

From the Board:
At our recent retreat, the Sovereign Grace Ministries Board decided to relocate the Pastors College and our Gaithersburg office to Louisville, Kentucky. The move will take place in 2012. Given the significance of the decision, we wanted to communicate with you directly about how we reached this decision and share some of its implications.
Around 2008, our country's economic downturn began to place a strain on SGM's ability to do ministry in several key areas. Supporters (including Sovereign Grace churches) were broadly affected by the recession, and giving declined for several years as a result. In response, the Leadership Team made extensive cuts to staffing and other costs, while still trying to preserve the ability to fund church planters, train pastors, and serve our international partners. But there was a limit to how far cutting could go before church planting and other activity central to our mission had to be scaled back.
One program that faced particular challenges was the Pastors College. Even though the Leadership Team has been proactive about keeping costs as low as possible, the extremely high cost of living for the DC area set the base cost fairly high. This had several effects on our mission:
More can be said about this, but we hope that is sufficient background to illustrate why, for several years now, the Leadership Team has been considering relocation for the Pastors College and the rest of SGM. In short, our mission is to serve Sovereign Grace churches, and being located in the DC area was placing limitations on our ability to do so. The economic downturn raised the profile of that issue, and the idea of relocating is only further validated by the needs we now see to expand on—not lessen—church care, training pastors, and pursuing mission.
We don't want to give the impression that a move was a done deal even before the events of July 2011—it wasn't. However, this conversation long preceded these events and, for the reasons given above, it has been an increasingly strong likelihood for several years. Over the past few months, our staff has explored various locations for a potential move, including visits, demographic studies, many conversations, and much prayer. They shared this information with the new Board when it was established, thus confronting us with this question: if we were starting SGM tomorrow, what would be the main factors for determining location and where would those factors lead us?
Here are the main factors that led us, after much discussion, to approve this relocation generally, and to choose Louisville in particular:
There are three questions that we anticipate you'll have immediately.
First, don't we want the Pastors College to be near a Sovereign Grace church?
The answer is yes. However, another recent development will remedy this. The Leadership Team has wanted to plant a church in Louisville near the seminary for several years, and after speaking at a college event there in February 2011 C.J. began to consider leading the plant himself. He made this desire known to us when we were seated as a Board, and we approved the plant this month. Although this was by no means determinative for the Pastors College, this does mean that students will have the opportunity to participate in a church plant led by C.J. This will both facilitate CJ.'s ongoing influence in the college, as well as provide students a smaller church experience that will more resemble their ultimate ministry context.
Second, won't it be difficult to replicate the benefits of having Covenant Life Church as a host church?
We do not want to give the impression that this decision was a no-brainer—it certainly was not. SGM's setup with CLC has provided numerous benefits over the past 15 years. From host families and adopting care groups to event volunteers and its members' hospitality, CLC has made a tremendous investment in the Pastors College since its inception. So, of course, this cannot all be replicated. And we want to thank the pastoral team of CLC and its members for these many years of faithful service and the fruit they have borne—the Pastors College would not be where it is without them. However, we believe that in the long run the Pastors College program will be enhanced, and all SGM churches will be better served, by this relocation and the benefits it offers.
Third, how will this affect the Pastors College calendar?
Although this relocation will require a transition period, we want to minimize any disruption to Sovereign Grace churches' training needs. Therefore, we plan to host a new Pastors College class beginning in January 2013. The year will be slightly abbreviated, running January-August, with some parts of the curriculum delivered through other venues (e.g., small group settings). The following year's class will commence in September, 2013, putting us back on a normal schedule.
As noted above, we are excited about opportunities this will afford us to collaborate with Southern Seminary, which will only enhance our program and facilitate further training for our students and pastors. The Leadership Team will communicate more details in coming weeks.
Please join us in praying for all those participating in this relocation. Despite the many adjustments this will entail, we are trusting God and hopeful that this move will position us for greater service to our churches as together we proclaim the gospel and plant churches for the glory of God.
Grateful for your partnership in the gospel,
John Loftness, Chairmanon behalf of the Board

Come on BMGF, you all know the guy you love to hate. :P Well, for Valentine's Day, I want to spread the love a little bit. Everyone's giving out requests, and this is just one more bandwagon to pile in and crash.
So come on, what do you want me to get Max to say? The winners will get to see Max say stupid things! It isn't that hard, I've already gotten him to admit that he's racist, dislikes free speech, and more!

"Don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness."
This rallying cry against the "let's do as we always did" approach has helped the digital professionals take their seat at the decision table in many institutions. Yet this unorthodox advice may have been embraced too literally in the social media field. It's no wonder that some enthusiastic and well-meaning social media managers still break basic rules with the institutional accounts they oversee.

It takes real acting skill to play a villain
By TreeOfLife 6 Comments
I guess we as comic fans associate ourselves much more with the heroes and the actors and actresses who play them, but really playing a villain is so much harder. Look at the bad guys in the Iron Man movies, Jeff Bridges is an Oscar Winner, Mickey Rourke is an Oscar nominee, and Ben Kingsley is an Oscar Winner (though I know that Downey has been nominated himself). The same holds true across most other franchises as we remember the performances of the Joker more than the performances of Batman. It is interesting, because to really hate or to fear a villain in a movie they have to be a great actor, whereas heroes gain our admiration much easier.

Her favorite cap - easy to pick her out while swimming!
I went with silicone because the reviews seemed more positive than with latex. It's very snug... putting it on correctly results in more comfortable fit. I wear a large hat size (woman) and I am happy with the fit.
Great fit!
Goes on easy...stays on for a long swim and is very attractive...goes with all my solid color suits.
First time I used this silicone cap, I was amazed how much drier my hair was. I love it, not to mention how cute it makes me look. An excellent buy.
It's a bit warmer than latex caps which is nice in open water. I wish the design was printed evenly along the seam but that's my only complaint.
My sister loved it! Shipping was a bit slow.
with this cab, all the girls (or boys) will be like, "dam, nice cab". ANYWAYS, it's a great cap overall.
This was my racing cap and it fits great, stays on, and doesn't hurt your hair because of the silicone

Convicted felon sentenced to 24 years for possession of stolen gun
CORPUS CHRISTI - A convicted felon was sentenced Wednesday to more than 24 years in federal prison without parole for having a stolen gun related to a Corpus Christi burglary.
Damian Valentin Monserrat, 48, also received a 10-year term for being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
He will serve the prison terms at the same time. Senior U.S. District Judge John D. Rainey also ordered Monserrat to serve five years supervised release.
Monserrat's fingerprints were found at the scene of a March 23 home burglary and he was accused of pawning several other items.
Days after the burglary, officers responded to a call involving gunshots that struck two vehicles in the parking garage of a downtown apartment complex. Monserrat was arrested after authorities said he tried to throw a stolen pistol into Corpus Christi Bay.
He has several felony convictions including for burglary and murder, according to the news release.

NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks have found little need to miss Jeremy Lin so far this season. But they would miss playing him and his current Houston Rockets team even less. Lin had a triumphant return to Madison Square Garden on Monday as he teamed with James Harden to lead the Rockets to a 109-96 victory that spoiled the Knicks' undefeated home record. Houston's second rout of the Knicks this season left the Rockets (12-12) feeling they'd made a step in the right direction and left New York, which played without injured forwards Carmelo Anthony and Rasheed Wallace, humbled by them once more. "We've played them twice and had two really good games," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "The ball moved well. We just had a little more jump in our step today and ended up playing much better against a good team that didn't have Carmelo, of course. But for us to come in here and get the win is a real good win for our guys." It was especially nice for Lin, whose career catapulted out ...

Builder Theme Font Customization
Posted 08 December 2009 - 11:28 AM
Thanks in advance,
Posted 08 December 2009 - 02:16 PM
That will not be a feature of builder version one. We definitely have it on our to-do list for a future version, but we do not know of any time frame within which it might be added.
Posted 08 December 2009 - 03:41 PM
Can you provide a tutorial on how to change the size of the fonts? That would be a great substitute while awaiting that important (at least to me) feature.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Posted 08 December 2009 - 04:04 PM
Using the editor in WordPress, go to the style.css file. In most of our themes, the first thing to be defined is the body. Look for:
body { /* This is where you set many of the universal defaults */
Within that, there is a property that says
font-size: 12px;
Your theme may say a number different than 12, but that is just an example. You can then change that number to be the number of px tall your font is.

Abbey Stone
Celebrity Editor Abbey Stone hails from the fair isle of Martha's Vineyard, a lovely, vaguely dinosaur-shaped spot of land located off the coast of Cape Cod, MA, that is best known for exporting preppy salmon-colored pants. But the bright lights of New York City beckoned, and Abbey was lured away from her coastal haven to attend Barnard College. She graduated in 2010 with a degree in English and a much less useful minor in Dance. Abbey has been published in Dance Magazine, The Huffington Post, Time Out New York, and Popstar! magazine (where she learned more than she ever wanted to know about Justin Bieber). Abbey now lives in Brooklyn, where she spends her days watching stupid Internet videos and reading pretentious books.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on in awhile, I have been so busy with school and my horse :)
I was wondering if any of you guys had suggestions of how to keep a black horse/dark colored horse comfortable in the summer?
My horse is black, but I feel like last summer he was so un-comfortable no matter how many cold baths I gave him...do you guys know any way to keep them happy and comfortable during the hot summer days?
Also, what is the best way to keep flies away from them? My guy kept getting swollen eyes from itching his legs covered in flies.
I know it is winter, but it is something I have been thinking about for awhile
Thanks so much

Smart grid wins: first major U.S. transmission project in decades (and more)
By: SGN Staff
This week's smart grid wins covers a good bit of ground, from Solutions as a Service and incident management to the first major U.S. transmission project in decades and energy and workforce management.
The Department of Interior has given final approval for the first major U.S. transmission project in decades. It will carry renewable energy across the western US. The 990-mile Gateway West Transmission Project will be capable of carrying about 1.5 gigawatts of energy from southern Wyoming to southern Idaho. Most of the energy will be from the many wind farms in the region. It will transmit electricity to load centers from Utah to Washington State. Read more >>
The city of Holly Springs, Miss. has contracted GE to provide its subscription-based Solutions as a Service (SaaS) to modernize its utility grid. GE's SaaS offering will provide the city of Holly Springs with advanced outage detection capabilities on its monitored meters. In addition, its asset monitoring capabilities enable the city to register and monitor all meters connected to its utility network, logging and classifying any issues that may occur. That information then allows insight into the operational state of the city's utility assets and an in-depth view of the city's energy usage. Read more >>

oooh! I'm excited. It gave me goosebumps hearing Walt speak, the Main street parade music, Tiki Room, Indy and everything in there! I can hear Wishes in this thing easy and that show was great. July is too far away!!!!! How can I save this on my computer?

Truly amazing. I thought they would emphasize more on Walt and his dream, but it is still spectacular. Radically different from Believe and I think they topped it.
Amazing, simply amazing! The finale gives me chills, it seems even more powerful, when it's with a whole other show... I can't wait for the video!!!! I almost cried, disneyland really seems to have done their best and even more!
Very exciting. I can't wait!!!

Just right-click and save as depending upon which browser you use. Anyways I really like the representation of the spirit of Disneyland interwoven in the soundtrack. I also love the children singing at the beginning, I think it's powerful at pulling at people's emotions.
Wait, let me check my arms...Yeah, there's goosebumps. I was tearing up when Walt spoke. I'm going to be bawling by the end of this show once I see it. So whoever's gonna be there on May 5th, keep an eye out for the silly girl crying over how freakin' awesome this show is.
The King is back and he's ready to kick some tail. Do not mess with a mouse in black.
Must watch when videos come out. Must get better quality audio...
Either way, this beats the crap out of Believe and Wishes and maybe even Illuminations.
It will, belive was good, no disrespect, but this is gonna own it! And some of the wishes soundtrack annoys me, so the beggining and finale are good, and not too much of Wishes, and the e-ticket in the sky, you could hear the fireworks, I'm excited to watched the fireworks beside people in main street, and the crackles over the hub!
Well, it will probably be hard to find you cause I'm guessing that most (if not all) of the Disney die hards will be there and will be crying right along with you. Including me. What an emotional soundtrack. I'm tearing up again........Originally Posted by Small Panda After All

-- Scott Hudson was a guest on Inside the Ropes and compared Goldberg to Ryback. Here are highlights:
On Sting's character changing into the Crow gimmick in 1996: "I thought it was brilliant. Sting for better or worse, is never going to be confused with Shawn Michaels or Kenta Kobashi or the great workers of the business. It's not that Sting was a poor worker but he wasn't gonna go out there and give you a 5 star match every time he laced up a pair of boots. But the thing that got him over was his charisma. You go back and look at those Sting promos, they weren't that good either. They were passable promos, some didn't make any sense but he had such a charisma that he got over. And Eric, to his everlasting credit, got the idea, he said "What can we do to get Sting over? He's only getting so hot and then when we try to put him on top, the buyrates go down, the ratings go down, we need to do something to elevate him to where he can become the top guy" And Eric's idea was, you know everyone likes Sting nobody doesn't like Sting so Eric thought Sting can't really work and isn't that great at promos so how about if we have him not work and not say anything and then he'll be really over. So that's what they did. If you go back and look at that whole build up to Starrcade 97, it took him months to even say anything or point the black bat at somebody. And he was never more over than at that time when he didn't say anything and he didn't wrestle. That was the most popular he's ever been."
On comparisons between Goldberg and Ryback: "Eric Bischoff was smart enough to know the NWO weren't gonna last forever so he started building up Goldberg who would go on to be the overarching storyline and I guess be the Hulk Hogan of 1985 in WCW in 1998. That was a terrific way to use him, but then by comparison, you look at Ryback right now in the WWE, who is so obviously a knock off of what we did with Goldberg and if he's over at all, and I question whether or not he is, he's nowhere near as over as Goldberg was. And it's because we booked Goldberg correctly. He never lost, that was the whole gimmick and the minute he lost he lost that luster. Well Ryback has been beaten by, who knows, Santino Marella? Lilian Garcia? Who knows? He's been beaten by everybody. You know, we let Goldberg be the monster and beat up everybody. They tried to make Ryback a monster and he gets beaten up. Nobody buys that. That gimmick only has a certain shelf life unless you build him as this incredible monster and we built Goldberg perfectly only to screw it up with that finger poke of doom and stuff."
He also spoke about his time in WCW, feelings on Bret Hart in WCW, Russo's booking, the sale of the company, his short stint in the WWF Invasion storyline, thoughts on Vince McMahon and more.

Sunshine Profits: Have Gold And Silver Stopped Responding To Dollar's Price Action? 0 comments
Have Gold and Silver Stopped Responding to Dollar's Price Action?
Based on the June 14th, 2013 Premium Update. Visit our archives for more gold & silver articles.
Gold cannot be printed or manufactured in contrast to the currency. That's why over the long term it has kept its value as the ultimate currency. There can be no "gold war." However, we often hear about a currency war. Sounds familiar, were did we hear this before?
The phrase "currency war" was coined by Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega after the financial crisis of 2008. The idea is that highly indebted nations weaken the value of their currency by cutting interest rates down to zero and printing fiat currency in order to gain trade advantages (cheaper products to export) and to pay less debt service on their bonds. Countries compete against each other to achieve a relatively low exchange rate for their own currency. The policy can trigger retaliatory action by other countries that in turn can lead to a general decline in international trade, harming all countries.
Concerns over a currency war prompted the Group of Seven and Group of 20 economies recently to formulize what constitutes appropriate behavior by central banks in influencing currency-exchange rates.
Let's look at some numbers. Global currency reserves have swelled from $1.9 trillion in the year 2000 to a whopping $11.2 trillion by the third quarter of 2012. But most of that gain took place in the past six years with global currency reserves doubling to the current levels from $5.6 trillion at the beginning of 2007. If that is not evidence of the global currency war then what is? We can see two different aspects. The first is undeniable evidence of aggressive money printing, but we already know that. The second, is an indication of determined stockpiling of the currencies of other countries in order to weaken your own currency.
For a widespread currency war to occur a large proportion of significant economies must wish to devalue their currencies at once. This has so far only happened during a global economic downturn.
Under normal economic conditions countries tend to overlook a small rise in the value of their own currency. However, during a time of recession, nations can take umbrage at other countries' devaluations.
Let's begin this week's technical part with the analysis of the U.S. Dollar (charts courtesy by stockcharts.com).
Let's start today's analysis of the U.S. Dollar with its long-term chart.
When we take a look at the above chart we can see that the USD Index declined once again this week. Despite that fact, the January breakout was not invalidated. As we see, the index is still above the declining support line, and thus the medium-term outlook remains bullish.
Let's take a look at the medium-term situation. Has it changed since last week?
In this perspective we can see that the USD Index moved to its medium-term support line (marked with the thin black line), which is currently close to 80.4. It is very possible that this line will pause the decline, at least for a while, and it's quite possible that it will actually stop it.
The situation remains bullish for the USD Index in the long and medium term, so let's check to see if the short-time outlook is the same.
During the last several days, the USD Index declined and moved slightly below the short-term support line. There is a medium-term support line visible on the previous chart that is much more important so the above is actually not a big deal.
The most important factor on the above chart supporting the bullish case is the cyclical turning point which is very close - about a week away. It is possible that we will see its impact on the dollar next week and this can lead to a bigger pullback or - more likely - the end of the current decline. If we move back in time a bit, we will see similar situation in August and September 2012 when the cyclical turning point worked very well after a significant decline.
Additionally, please note that the RSI Indicator is now at the 30 level, which is a classic buying opportunity.
Let's find out what impact has this decline had on the two most popular precious metals.
In this week's very long-term gold chart, comments made in last week's Premium Update remain up-to-date:
The outlook continues to be bearish and the trend remains down. Gold could still decline heavily based on the long-term cyclical turning point (…). In both 2008 and 2009, local tops formed slightly after the cyclical turning point, so it is possible that the reversal in the downtrend won't be seen until after the cyclical turning point once again, leaving a number of days in which further declines could be seen.
We are still likely to see declines after the cyclical turning point from this long-term perspective. The turning point should work on a "near to" basis and declines will likely be seen sooner rather than later (and the bottom is likely weeks away, not months away).
Now let's take a look at the white metal.
In this week's very long-term silver chart, not much really happened as prices declined slightly, less than half of 1 percent overall. The intra-day high for the week was lower than last week once again and from this perspective, the declines clearly go on.
No confirmed move has been seen below the level of the 2008 highs, but silver's price is only slightly above it at this time. It seems that we'll have another sharp decline once the breakdown below this support level is seen and confirmed.
Summing up, the most important event in the currency market was further decline of the dollar. Although the decline visible on the USD Index chart has been quite heavy, we have not seen a rally in gold and silver so far this week - they moved lower. Gold's underperformance has become even more significant this week and we think that this makes the outlook even more bearish for the short term. Although recent declines in silver have been small, the downtrend remains in place. The implications of the above-mentioned underperformance are bearish for the precious metals sector.
