By studying Quakers and other mystics, we plan to experience a greater union with the Spirit in our lives. We will study and practice worship sharing, meditation, centering prayer, and a brief Tai Chi exercise, along with teachings from George Fox, Edgar Cayce, the Bible, Rex Ambler, and Thomas Kelly.
Workshop Description
- Your expectations and objectives for the week.
Participants will learn about techniques to help them to experience a greater union in Meeting for Worship and in their personal mediation practices.
- A list of the specific areas or topics that you expect to cover. For some workshops this might include things that the workshop will NOT cover.
Please see the Proposed Schedule below.
- A rough description of the format. This might include an estimate of the time to be spent in worship (most groups find 20 to 40 minutes daily gives good spiritual grounding), field trips you anticipate, writing activities (poetry, journaling, etc.), or other activities (role play, guided meditation, lecture, interactive exercises, discussion, etc.).
Each day, I will teach techniques that can enhance your experience with the Spirit. Some will be meditation techniques that we will practice, some will be guided meditations (see Proposed Schedule below.) Each day will start with 15 minutes of meeting for worship, which will begin when the first person arrives. Friends that want to start with a longer worship are invited to arrive earlier than the listed start time. In the first half of the class, we will learn and practice a technique. We will take a break halfway through the morning and then practice the Tai Ji (a brief, easy movement experience—a type of Tai Chi). In the second half of the class, we will usually learn and practice a new technique.
- Specific recommendations for advanced reading, or reading assignments during the Gathering.
None—each technique has a brief handout (often one page), which we shall read in class. Handouts are available electronically for free and for $5 for hard copies (probably 22 pages)
- Specific requests for items to bring to the Gathering, such as artwork or manuscripts in progress.
You might want to bring a comfortable collapsible chair or a yoga mat or sleeping pad if you like to lay down when meditating.
Proposed Schedule
1.1 Worship Sharing This workshop teaches the Quaker process of worship sharing. In a discussion, often a few talkative people dominate and others don't get an opportunity to talk. Also a discussion can get moving so fast that there is no time to try to hear the spirit. Worship sharing solves these potential problems.
----Introductions—Name, MM, YM, Year you became involved with Quakers, Why you decided to take this workshop?
1.2 Tai Ji This is a very simple method of Tai Chi (slow body movement) that can be easily learned and then can be practiced daily after the workshop.
1.3 Introduction to Meditation This workshop is based on the meditation technique in the book, The Relaxation Response, by Herbert Benson, M.D. We will read and worship share on a handout and then practice the method.
----Organize small groups
2.1 Centering Prayer This is a very popular meditation technique that was taught by the Roman Catholic monks, Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating and Basil Pennington. We will read a handout and then practice the method.
----Tai Ji
2.2 Experiment with Light Rex Ambler, a British Quaker, uses George Fox's writings to articulate a meditation technique based on the early Friends. Many Quaker "Light Groups" have formed using his book, Light to Live By; An Exploration in Quaker Spirituality. After a brief explanation of the method, we will practice it.
----Worship share in small groups
3.1 A Guided Meditation to Experience God's Love and Grace This meditation is based mostly on the teachings of Edgar Cayce and John van Auken's Spiritual Breakthrough. This is combined with Bible passages and quotes from mystics George Fox, Thomas Keating, Thomas Merton, the author of The Cloud of Unknowing, Julian of Norwich, Evelyn Underhill, Hildegard of Bingen, Jewish scholars, etc.
----Tai Ji, practice the meditation technique and worship share in small groups
4.1 Obstacles to Reading the Bible and Different Ways to Read the Bible
4.2 Guided Meditation on the Bible In this workshop we will read passages from the Old Testament about meditation and the New Testament about passages that will help us to unite with God and rejoice in that union.
----Tai Ji, practice the meditation technique and worship share in small groups
5.1 The Gathered Meeting We will read and worship share on the tract "The Gathered Meeting," by Thomas Kelly, a twentieth-century Quaker.
----Tai Ji
5.2 " Friend, Be still and cool in thy own mind and spirit from thy own thoughts, and then…." George Fox wrote a two-page letter to Lady Claypoole addressing the basic technique about what should be going on in the mind of a Quaker. We will read the letter, learn about its principles and then be guided in a meditation based on the letter.
----worship share in small groups.
Leader Experience
I presented this workshop in 2014. I have also presented workshops on other topics at Gatherings in 2001, 2003 and 2004. I taught these workshops in many settings in Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I have a Masters of Divinity Degree from Earlham School of Religion (ESR) and many of these workshops I facilitated during Supervised Ministry when working on this degree.

text: NARS Etrusque Eyeshadow ($23.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a rich, metallic true yellow gold with a flashy shimmering sheen. Ooh, I'm all over it! It's similar to MAC's Goldmine, but it has more depth, and the finish is more metallic-sheen than frosted-sheen. The texture is phenomenal–soft, smooth, nearly buttery–with rich pigmentation. This is easily NARS' best gold eyeshadow to-date; finally, a gold eyeshadow that's not also accompanied by flecks of glitter.

Special to the Daily News
LENORE — Fisherman looking to cast their lines into Laurel Lake will soon be able to do so from a brand new dock, courtesy of the Mingo County Commission (MCC).
The aluminum floating dock and gangway, manufactured by Gator Dock, is currently being installed. Measuring eight feet wide and 25 feet long, the pier is handicap-accessible. The pier is one of several recreational projects throughout the county being supported and funded by the commission either whole or in part.
"Laurel Lake is a gem in our county's recreational crown," said Mingo County Commissioner Greg "Hootie" Smith. "We want to develop the lake in a manner so it is a draw to both residents and tourists alike."
"This is one of many projects that we as a county commission are developing as part of an overall recreational plan for our county," said Commission President John Mark Hubbard. "With the number of avid fisherman we have in our county, this dock is a great way to enhance the ability to enjoy the beauty of Laurel Lake."
"Laurel Lake is a real asset to our community," added Commissioner David L. Baisden. "It's amazing the difference one project like this boat dock can make. It's a small project, but it will have major impact on the use of Laurel Lake."
The dock is currently being installed by a West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) crew.
The materials for the dock cost $23,293.00. In addition to the fishing dock, the county commission is currently developing a shooting range at Laurel Lake and has assisted the Laurel Lake Wildlife Foundation with the purchase of playground equipment by facilitating a $10,000 grant through the Governor's Community Participation Grant Program (GCPG). The GCPG funding was requested by Del. Harry Keith White and Del. Justin Marcum, who represent Mingo County in the West Virginia House of Delegates.

Exploring the underwater world is closer than you think, especially when taking the plunge at one of Florida's most diverse, easy-access dive spots, Phil Foster Park. While hiking trails are widely known, few have heard of snorkel trails. The name says it all: a string of artificial reefs close enough to shore and shallow enough for divers to explore without the need of a boat, expensive equipment or even much experience.
Opened in August, the Phil Foster Park Artificial Reef and Snorkel Trail is an 800-foot-long tract of artificial reef incorporating more than 600 tons of Anastasia rock boulders, loosely strong together in easily accessible depths ranging from six to 10 feet.

"The area has always been dynamic in terms of sea life," said Carmen Vare, environmental program supervisor for the marine/estuarine enhancement and restoration program of Palm Beach County's Environmental Resources Management department. "The one thing that it was lacking, though, was substrate on the sandy bottom."

As part of the county's Artificial Reef Program, ERM, buoyed by the support of the Board of County Commissioners and the Lake Worth Lagoon Initiative, began the process of adding to one of the most dynamic and prolific habitats in all of the Intracoastal Waterway. The whole process took about a month and a half, from hand-selecting the capstone in western Palm Beach County to transporting the rock by barge and then meticulously placing it on the sandy seabed. Starting with smaller rocks and boulders, ERM built piles about 10-20 feet long and half as wide. Larger rocks on top created crevices, ledges and nooks for sea critters and fish to proliferate. These larger rock piles, 15 in all, were spread as far as 50 feet apart, allowing the reef to run for 800 feet. Interspersed throughout are smaller, more discrete rock piles, connecting the dots. Additionally, six concrete reef modules, about five by seven feet in size and sculpted to resemble sponges and coral, were donated by creator Christopher O'Hare of Pineapple Grove Designs and punctuate the reef tract.
"It wasn't an overly ambitious plan," says Vare, who has helped lead the artificial reef program and the Lake Worth Lagoon Initiative in creating an array of underwater and island habitats throughout the Intracoastal Waterway and the lagoon. "We weren't trying to change the complexion of the area too much—that was one of the main concerns. If we put too much down, it might actually change things."
Though this is a significant concern, the inclusion of the artificial reef trail did slightly alter the site, for the better. These artificial reefs, though simple in form and function, make for more variation for divers and sea life. "One of the unique things about this area is the diversity," Vare says. "There have been more than 300 different species of fish observed in this area. You won't find anywhere near those numbers anywhere else."
This diversity all comes back to the location. It's situated less than mile from the Lake Worth Inlet, which in turns sits just four nautical miles from the Gulfstream, making it somewhat of a resting spot for weary travelers on the great Atlantic loop. Inward, Phil Foster is the vanguard of Palm Beach County's largest estuary, the Lake Worth Lagoon, an important breeding ground and nursery of many fish and marine life species. This creates a dynamic location at Phil Foster, a point where two very different marine ecosystems collide.

"It's a special place and a particularly rewarding project," says Vare, who has helped on the construction of six reefs in the lagoon. "It's a little more rewarding when you put a reef down and actually see it, where there is blue water around. Some of the reefs we put down, it's just brown water. Its great for fish, creates a fishery, which is the most important thing, but it's really difficult to see the reef, see the fish."
On an incoming high tide, Phil Foster is flushed with clean, clear ocean water, allowing for visibility up to 80 feet when the conditions are right. The dive is perfect for the beginner and seasoned vet alike, attracting people from across the world to take the plunge. On any given weekend, finding a parking spot at Phil Foster when the tide is about to come in is near impossible. The main attraction for the SCUBA set is below the Blue Heron Bridge, along the pylons, abutment and pier, which can become crowded with divers as they jockey for position to capture the right picture.

"It's an excellent place to dive and see juvenile fish," says veteran diver Linton Creel, acting coordinator of the Palm Beach County Reef Research Team—a team of volunteer divers charged with monitoring the county's natural and artificial reefs—and an advisory board member of ERM's Artificial Reef and Estuarine Enhancement Committee. "The Blue Heron Bridge has been popular dive spot for a number of years, but it got to the point that there was almost more divers than there was area to share. And since there is a lot of sand areas at Phil Foster Park, and sand doesn't attract a lot of sea life, [AREEF] came to the conclusion: Why not build an inshore reef?"
The site was a win-win. Located just south of Phil Foster Park's beach, 200 feet offshore, the dive is accessible for every level, ranging in depth from six to 10 feet. For beginners, who are taking to the water with just a mask, snorkel and fins, the trail is a true treasure—not too taxing of a swim and shallow enough to ease anxiety but populated enough to get a sense of Phil Foster Park's biodiversity. For SCUBA divers, it's shallow enough to stay underwater for two hours—plenty of time to capture a shot of some of the rare fish species scurrying about.
"There really are no safety concerns," Linton says. "If you dive, it's best to experience the reef 30 minutes before mean high tide and leaving 30 minutes after the tide turns. That gives you approximately an hour and a half to a two-hour window without current."
The artificial reefs have already recruited a significant amount of fish inhabitants. On any given dive, one can see countless species of fish, from colorful cruisers like angelfish and parrotfish to juvenile reef species like snapper, grunts and grouper as well as pint-sized damsels, blennies and wrasses and even the exotically odd trumpetfish or scrawled filefish. Flying gurnard also take up residence at Phil Foster, crawling along the seafloor with adapted fins that act like legs. The keen observer might pick out the elusive jawfish with a brood of eggs cradled in its mouth or a spectacularly camouflaged sea horse, of which six species have been observed in this tiny stretch of water habitat.
Invertebrates inhabit just about every nook and cranny, from shrimp to crabs and lobster, while octopus squeeze into the tightest of spots, peering out with their horizontal pupils. On occasion, rays and juvenile sharks glide through, while visiting manatee cruising from seagrass bed to seagrass bed is not a rarity.
"There is a lot of variety there," Vare says. "It's a special place and its right in our backyard."

Cindy, pretty neat to add pastel to your charcoal. It is very effective. Ol' Rusty has personality and does look like he has perked up. Very nice. It's good to see your work again. Looking forward to more.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Thanks for your kind comments Sandi and Sammy. The large newsprint paper helps me stay loose. I'll get back to the wc's eventually.
Cindy...last name Learn- C&C's always welcome.
Jen C & C's always welcome
OK - I promised Sammy that I would post my two miserable attempts at the portrait of her adorable great-granddaughter, Haidyn. AND, they are truly miserable!
The first one is done on 300 lb wc paper with egg tempera - a medium I have never worked with before. I have no idea why I decided to try it. Aside from a lot of obvious stuff, the poor little dear looks like she has the mumps!
The second attempt is only marginally better - and I do mean MARGINALLY! Done also in egg tempera on an Ampersand water media board - can't remember it's proper name.
Neither of them even remotely resemble Haidyn - I guess that means I need to do some portrait work.
C & C always welcomed and encouraged.
Holly, how brave you are to do portraits with a new medium. You got the blue eyes and the blond hair perfect in the second on. A little long in the nose though. The lips, teeth and tongue look good, too.
The first one looks like a grown up young lady. I like how you suggested the hat without a lot of details.
Thanks Sammy & Jen - You are both WAY too kind. I actually did these 2 back in December, just did have enough courage to post them since they were both so awful. In retrospect, I may try her again - just not in egg tempera - I don't think I like that medium AT ALL! Good thing I didn't invest a lot of $$ in them. I agree, Sammy - the first one looks way too old - this turned into a test page, as you can see - just working on mixing colors, etc. for the second one. Although I don't like the second one either, I do feel like I got the eyes better and I was sort of pleased with the progress on her mouth. I think I just got her face way too long - or didn't place her eyes low enough - or the fact that the hat is not actually sitting on her head (but rather floating above it) probably skews the whole thing, too.
This is the old truck in the snowy field. I did this one for a very good friend of mine so I put the USC license plate on it (that's University of South Carolina), It's oil on 12x16 canvas. I am just waiting about another week for the varnish to dry a little better then it will get on it's way to her. (I actually took progress photos of ths one so I'm including them too - the last 2 are before and after the varnish - it always amazes me when I see how the color brightenes up with the varnish!.) I can't post it on Facebook yet, because it is a surprise for her.
Holly, great painting of the old rusty car. You captured the rusty look well. I love the subtle color changes in the sky and beautiful colors in the snow, especially the shadow of the car. The conifer trees look really good. You used purple throughout the painting giving it a sense of harmony. I like seeing the progression of your work.
At first glance, I thought that the car looked cockeyed because the roof of the car slants downward to the right and the bottom of the car slants upward to the right. Then I remember that this is very old and has been sitting out in the elements possibly for years so things wouldn't be aligned.
It's amazing how the varnish changed the colors. I'm surprised you could varnish it so soon after finishing it.
Sammy - The thing that bothers me is not the cocksided way the cab sits in the snow but the angle of the back part going back to the rear wheels - - it still bothers me, but I doubt Amy (my friend who is going to get it) will notice. Working on this one was a real encouragement to get by in the swing ot things here - - I kept remembering all the versions everyone else did - especially Fred's.
I was probably pushing the envelope by varnishing it now, but I really want to get it to her before her first anniversary. It's was finished and dry to the the touch when I went back in and did some glazing - which doesn't take long to dry. It had been sitting for about 2 more weeks before I varnished it. I think it will be dry enough to frame by maybe next week.
Amy's first anniversary is in March - - I told her before her wedding if she did not pick out a painting or give me a hint what she would like to have, that she may be sorry. 'Cause if she didn't, I would just do what I wanted and give it to her and she would just have to live with it. HA! I have emailed back and forth with her mother a bunch before we came up with this ref. photo - - they both like trucks and they are HUGE USC Gamecock fans - so I killed two birds with one stone!
Sam, I just went to this month's posting to look at Holly's truck and noticed Haidyn's photo. This is the one on which your blog painting is based, I'm sure. My friend and fellow artist Crescent and I think it is one of the loveliest, most luminous paintings we've ever seen of a person's face.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Holly, a beautiful painting of the abandoned truck. The bronzes are lovely, and having lived in the country at one time, I can attest to the fact that you've captured it perfectly. In addition, the "leaning" actually makes it more realistic. Old trucks were used until the last possible vestige of life was gone from them - I can't remember ever seeing one that was shipshape and square.
Alex, my goodness, what a compliment. You've made my day - or should I say night. Yes, my colored pencil painting of Haidyn was based on that photo and my painting of it is posted on page 7 of this thread. Haidyn is a pretty little girl and a good subject.

text: My hats off to Lyoto Machida, not only for a great KO, but for what he did after he realized his opponent was knocked out. He stopped his punch. That is a real Martial Artist, when someone can control every action they take or in this case choose not to take. Sadly I think most fighters would have kept punching, it's how they are trained and I think it's sad. Because that mentality flies in the face of what martial arts is supposed to represent. Things like Honor, Respect, and Control of one's self. I hope this trend continues to grow in MMA, maybe then we can see this sport become even more mainstream. I think acts like these should be recognized, maybe have a sportsmanship award?

DENVER - For the second-straight season, Starmount has run into a buzzsaw in the second round of the 2A state playoffs.
Last season, the Rams were upended by defending state champion Salisbury in the second round. This year, Starmount was paired up with the third-highest scoring offense in the 2A in East Lincoln.
The Rams limited the Mustangs' high-powered offense for much of the game, but a late touchdown and safety ended Starmount's season 37-24 in Denver Friday night.
Through the first three quarters of the game, the Rams answered every East touchdown with a score of their own to stay within striking distance.
After the Mustangs drove down the field on the opening possession of the game, Dominique Smith plowed in from one yard out to give East a quick 7-0 advantage.
Chaston Martin and the Rams responded on their second possession when the senior ran it in from the four-yard line to knot the game at 7-7.
After a Starmount fumble, gunslinger quarterback Garrett Young hooked up with Chaz Surratt on a four-yard strike to give the Mustangs a 14-7 advantage.
On the ensuing kickoff, James Watson fielded the kickoff and darted 85 yards through the East return team for the game-tying score early in the second quarter.
Before the half, Marquise Pharr gave the Mustangs the 21-14 lead heading into the locker room with a 12-yard touchdown run.
On their second drive of the second half, Will Simpson capped a long drive with a one-yard burst to bring the Rams even at 21-all.
Facing the possibility of seeing Starmount end their season for the second-consecutive year, East Lincoln turned up its level of intensity on both sides of the ball and began to distance themselves.
Young once again found Surratt on the receiving end of a 44-yard dart to put the Mustangs up for good at 28-21.
After a Parker Gunnell field goal to cut the lead to 28-24, the East defense forced a safety on defense. The Mustangs then recovered the ensuing onside kick.
East drove down the field and found the game-sealing score with a one-yard run by Scott McMichaels with 31 ticks left on the clock.
The Mustangs held on for the 37-24 victory to avenge last season's 21-13 loss to the Rams in the first round in Boonville.
Martin powered Starmount's offense in his final game with 93 yards on the ground and 40 yards through the air. Hunter Myers and Watson added 37 and 34 yards, respectively, as the Rams racked up 227 yards on the ground.
Samuel Stone finished 6-for-12 through the air for 44 yards, while Martin found Will Lambert on a 40-yard strike on a halfback pass.
Martin capped his Starmount career with 1,137 yards on 139 carries with 16 rushing touchdowns in his senior campaign.
The stout Ram defense surrendered the most points of the season, with Young completing 14-of-19 passes for 240 yards on two scores.
Starmount's season comes to an abrupt end at 10-2 with two losses in its final three games.
Former Ram quarterback Christian Hurt was honored at the game by East Lincoln head coach Mike Byus. Hurt broke his neck in last seasons' matchup with the Mustangs.

Linda Shelbourne points out the ginger lilies in her garden. They have the sweetest scent, she says, pulling the slender stalk forward to enjoy the fragrance.
Gardening is her passion and it shows in the property surrounding her home. The gardens – there are gardens within the larger garden – are filled with interesting plantings huddled in small corners, bordering walkways or soaring next to vine-covered arches.
Shelbourne was born in Pennsylvania and married to Peter in the United Kingdom in 1961. Linwood Bed & Breakfast became their home in 1979. It's at Linwood where Shelbourne's gardens and her special talent for dispensing hospitality come together.
"What makes Linwood what it is, is the hospitality," she says. "The root word is "host" and while we are hosting these people we want them to be enriched, inspired and to enjoy themselves."
Today Linwood is one of the Top 10 Bed and Breakfasts in the world by www.bedandbreakfasts.com.
The house used to shelter their three sons: Brandt, Matthew and Courtney. They grew older, got married, had children of their own but never strayed far from home.
Before that she studied at La Chatelainie in Neuchatel, Switzerland, Le Sorbonne and University of Paris in France, the Triangle School of Business in London, and became a master gardener through Clemson University.
"She is welcoming and has a real gift of hospitality," said Pam, Linda's daughter-in-law. "She brings a lot of tourists into Summerville. She brings people from Charleston and is a big draw on the Sweet Tea Tour."
Shelbourne has a strong faith, praying for guests and with them. There are devotions each morning at the house. She said it is a good way to relate to guests she is meeting for the first time.
"Christians are always looking for Jesus in another person. No matter your ethnic background, social rank or whatever, we're all brothers and sisters of one father."
Another important part of the experience at Linwood is communication between guests. Shelbourne said they like to create rooms with lots of seating facing a center point to allow for lots of communication.
"People want relationships and we work on an environment where they can do that," she said. "Hearing our guests interacting at the breakfast table or out in the gardens, that's one of our favorite things and that's why people go."
The gardens are world-renowned and were the products of students from the University of Georgia and University South Carolina along with the Shelbournes and their friends. They extend from the front driveway at the old horse stable around the cottages to the "secret garden."
In the expected fashion from a mother, she claims she doesn't have a favorite. She said they are all soothing.
"That root word 'host' is in hospital, hospice, and so on. It's about people getting better. Here we are creating a place for people to get better."
Her son Brandt talked about her large numbers of repeat visitors. One couple in particular from Glasgow, Scotland visits for weeks at a time every year. They have a specific room request each trip, the Barn, one of the quaint, back cottages.
Both speak to Linda and Peter like old friends, because they are. That is how it feels when you meet Linda, she welcomes you to into their home and you experience why people don't just come to see the gardens but to see Linda too.
"We're addicted to our guests, we have hearts for hospitality," she said. "Hospitality in the deepest and broadest sense of the word, that's what it's about and what we're all about."

Things I liked:The rifle feels good and mounts nicely. The stock is wery pleasing not Turkish Walnut but nice. The trigger has no creep and is crisp @between 3.5 and 4 lbs. The gun is quiet to shoot no spring noise or twanging and in my 10 yard range very accurate ragged holes. Not bad for a new unbroken in gun.
Things I would have changed:An adjustable trigger would be nice they advertise it but it is not. Althouh the trigger is nice.
What others should know:My velocity was between 745 and 760 fps using 14.3 Daisy waddcutters. That is better than advertised but less than the box says. Easy to cock and is obviouly made by Mendosa. This would make anyone a great target rifle. Oh and the scope well it is a favorite of mine that is why I picked this incarnation of this rifle. Do not hesitate you will be happy.
To Mike I have two Norica's a .22 and .177 Quick and if you get used to the trigger they are among the most accurate rifles I have that include Marauders, RWS34, and an Air Arms T200 a target gun.
Tom I have the rws34 .22 as well as the XS25 in .177 and .22. The xs25's have better stocks straight barrells (no droop) and very good triggers. Very accurate guns. The Rws is also very accurate lacks a recoil pad has a better trigger after fiddleing with it for a year so I had a second stage. Let off is still extremely light just over a pound. Net I prefer the xs25 to the RWS34
I'm interested in buying this, but a single stage trigger with a 4lb. pull...no reviews, nobody buying these things. I bet they'll end up like those Norica rifles with the horrible triggers they couldn't give away!
Gale--Yes, the M12 was built to Pyramyd Air's specs by Mendoza, and Pyramyd Air was involved in every step of the process.
I'm confused, the power in the ad says 750fps w/ 8.8gr and 13.5ftlbs, or 625 w/ 14.72gr and 17ftlbs. Those numbers don't add up at all but then Donald says his is ~750 with 14.3 and that the box says it's supposed to be even higher than that? So which is it? I also agree with Tom that it's too much $, I don't trust anything that comes out of mexico. For the same $ you could get a Benj Trail with a nitro, suppressor, sling, and better scope. Can anyone comment on the quality? Comparable to Benjamin or???
Tom--SOME Tech Force guns are made in China. As it happens, the Tech Force M12 is made by Mendoza in Mexico. So, Donald is correct when he says it's made by Mendoza...and that it's made in Mexico.
tech force is Chinese and Mendoza is Mexican. why would you waste yourmoney on this and not get a rws 34?? its a much better gun and ill be damned if im gonna pay 200 plus for a gun made in china
One of the experts here told me that these are Mendosa rifles built to PA specs.

On Sunday, February 12, 2012, a Pushmataha County Deputy was dispatched to a call referencing items being taken from the Bridge area that is located on Dees Road, south of Clayton approximately 8 miles and off HWY 2 on Dees Road near Kiamichi River.
Deputy Floyd Branson went to the location and was informed that Pushmataha County Commissioner Jimmy Long was out with the suspect vehicle, which was said to have stopped north of Clayton near Gees Real Estate Office.

Disney's THE LION KING
Disney's THE LION KING will enchant you with breathtaking masks, fantastic costumes and memorable sounds. The director, Julie Taymor, has created from the world's most successful animated Disney film an entirely separate stage work. Sir Elton John and Sir Tim Rice developed the famous soundtrack for the stage version, and the South African Lebo M revived the theatre staging by pulsating African rhythms.
More than 135 million visitors worldwide, over 50 international awards, the most well-known musical in the world. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA – in December 2013 the original musical with the famous melodies by Andrew Lloyd Webber raised the curtain once again, this time at the Stage Theater Neue Flora in Hamburg.
Powerful, enthralling and deeply tangent. THE MIRACLE OF BERN narrates against the backround of the Football World Cup 1954 an emotional vather-son-story. It's about a family who find themselves, a team which outgrows and a little boy with big dreams.
Musicals in Berlin
The rock poet Udo Lindenberg has always believed in a united Germany without boundaries and has always broken the wall with his deep lyrics and unrestrained openness. He united the hearts of East and West, long before the GDR times had passed. Where the Wall once divided Germany, fiction and truth merge now together in BEHIND THE HORIZON into a moving story about the "girl from East Berlin". With touching depth the greatest hits of Udo Lindenberg tell the story of the musical.
Multimedia, surprising, innovative, unique in Europe and an absolute must see for every Berlin visitor. This unusual mix of rousing concert atmosphere, first-class comedy, art performance, sound and light effects gets first under the skin and won't get out of the head anymore. More than three million visitors can confirm: The BLUE MAN GROUP cannot be described, you have to experience it. After the big relaunch in a new look, new Songs and the most favourite scenes.
The world's most successful musical from october on in Berlin. MAMMA MIA! is not the story of ABBA. It is a thrilling musical comedy with its 22 biggest hits of ABBA! Super Hits such as " Dancing Queen", "Take a chance on me " or " Super Trouper and of course " Mamma Mia" were interwoven with a story in such a clever way that a moving cocktail of emotions was created.

The Parks Field American Majors All-stars, on Wednesday, advanced to the championship series of the Dixie Youth Baseball Majors state tournament.
Parks Field opened the tournament in Clemson with four straight wins to advance to the championship series, which began Thursday after press time. The team was scheduled to play Lake Marion, which needed two wins over Parks Field to avoid elimination.
The winner of the series will advance to represent South Carolina in the Dixie Youth Baseball Majors World Series to be held in Mississippi.
The Parks Field AAA Minors All-stars weren't as fortunate. That team was eliminated from the state tournament being held at Wescott Park in North Charleston after suffering a loss to Hartsville Northern Wednesday.
The Parks Field Minors finished that tournament with a 3-2 record. The team's overall record for the all-star season is 9-2.
Midland, which handed Parks Field its first loss of the all-star season, entered play Wednesday as the only undefeated team in the Minors tournament.

KidsPeace operates Foster
Care and Community Programs offices across the country. While referral agencies
attempt to achieve permanency for these children through placement with other
family members, they still have many children to place in treatment foster
homes with highly trained families like those recruited and trained by
With shrinking tax revenues
and diminishing funds to take care of the needs of foster children in care,
KidsPeace associates often feel frustration with having sufficient families to
meet needs of referred children. Program Manager Jennifer Brown of the
KidsPeace Merrillville, IN, FCCP office has decided to be innovative in
motivating and encouraging her eight-person team of associates.
Jennifer has created two
award programs that she bestows on her dedicated staff members: the Pit Bull
Award and the Crusader Award. These recognitions encourage associates to fight
their daily battles fearlessly, and to be strong advocates for the children in
the Foster Care program.
"People who work with me
have always characterized me as a pit bull because I fight hard and never give
up on getting as much assistance for our children as possible," Jennifer said.
"This gave me the idea for the Pit Bull award, which is presented to an
associate weekly." The initial award is a Pit Bull pin with the associate's
name on it, and subsequent awards include adding dog bones to the pin, a dog
bone bracelet and a dog bone tiara.
The Crusader Award includes
a helmet, sword, breastplate and shield and has been given only once so far to
Jen Gaskill for sticking with it and winning the battle for a particularly
difficult case. The other associates are now vying for the honor of taking the
Crusader gear from Jen and claiming it as their own.
"I believe that this is a
very positive incentive that has everyone excited about our 'Save a Kid
Challenge' campaign that is both fun and empowering," Jennifer said. She has
gone to the community for prizes, and businesses have donated manicures and
haircuts, with more to come.
This was Jennifer's plan to
build resiliency among the associates who deal with frequent policy changes
that send children home too soon only to see them back in crisis and in need of
another foster home. Congratulations to Jennifer for being innovative and
encouraging to the associates in her office.

The April 16 meeting was conducted at the firehouse known as Jones County Station One, located on Highway 49. The commissioners recently voted to have their third Tuesday meetings each month at different firehouses in the county to make it easier for their constituents to attend the meetings.
Rec league ball vs. travel ball
The session began with a recreation committee meeting, chaired by Commissioner Jonathan Pitts. The discussion began with complaints from parents about the use of the ball fields for travel ball tournaments.
Recreation Director Matt Goins started the conversation with an explanation of the problem and his opinion that league play and travel ball teams should be able to coexist as they do in other venues.
"We are here to listen to both sides," he said.

People try to say that you cannot use the bible as historical evidence that Jesus existed. The problem with that is they misunderstand the nature of evidence or they use an argument of fallacy to try to demand that if their personal criteria for evidence is not met then there is none.Before the "bible" the texts that have been translated to the "bible" are historical finds. Concerning historical evidence, thats historical evidence. Doesn't matter if someone does not believe or says it is not evidence, it indeed is.
I just had someone on Youtube tell me Jesus didn't exist. Is there historical evidence for Jesus?

US unemployment aid applications decline to 366KBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
The Associated Press | February 08,2013AP PHOTO
In this Wednesday photo, job applicants complete forms at a job fair sponsored by Swissport, in Newark N.J. The Labor Department reported the number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits for the first time in the last week.WASHINGTON Fewer Americans sought unemployment benefits last week, indicating companies continue to hire at a modest but steady pace.
The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications for unemployment benefits fell 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 366,000.
The four-week average, a less volatile measure, dropped to 350,500, the lowest in nearly five years. The average is low because of seasonal factors, which reduced applications sharply last month.
Still, economists were encouraged by the decline.
Weekly applications are a proxy for layoffs. When layoffs decline, net hiring typically rises.
The drop in the four-week average is good news and supports the view that the U.S. labor market is gradually improving, said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets.
The four-week average of applications has dropped nearly 6 percent in the past three months. At the same time, hiring has picked up: Employers added an average of 200,000 jobs a month from November through January.
In January, employers added 157,000 jobs. And annual revisions included in the Labor Departments January employment report showed the economy created 600,000 more jobs in 2011 and 2012 than previously thought.
Still, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent in January from 7.8 percent in December. Economists expect unemployment will decline if hiring continues at last years monthly pace of 180,000. The rate fell 0.7 percentage points in 2012.
Overall, nearly 5.6 million people received unemployment benefits in the week ended Jan. 19, the latest data available. Thats about 325,000 fewer than the previous week.
Thats also less than half the number of unemployed, which stood at 12.3 million last month. Many of the unemployed arent eligible for benefits, while others have used up all the benefits available to them.
More hiring and income are needed to fuel greater economic growth. The economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the October-December quarter.
But the decline was mostly caused by deep cuts in defense spending and sluggish growth in company stockpiles one-time events that analysts say are likely rebounding in the current quarter.
Economists expect growth of around 2 percent this year. Strength in areas like housing and auto sales could partly offset government spending cuts this year.
Home builders are stepping up construction to meet rising demand. That should create more construction jobs. Home prices and sales are also increasing.
The housing recovery is boosting jobs at home-supply stores and retailers. Home Depot said Wednesday that it plans to hire 80,000 temporary employees for the spring selling season. The jobs will be part-time and full-time, the company said.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable...

Tune Of The Day: Marc Mac Presents The Visioneers – Paul's Guitar Story
Marc Mac has been close to the beating heart of contemporary British for over two decades now. He was genre defining in the early 90s dance/hardcore movement, as part of A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd and redefined drum & bass as half of 4hero, where he was responsible for my favourite ever remix. And more recently he has been cataloguing his love of soul music, in all its forms, through his Visioneers project.
Their album Dirty Old Hip Hop, which consisted of instrumental covers of many of the most sampled tracks in rap, was and is one of my favourites of the last few years, and the follow-up, Hipology* (and the associated free mix-tape), which I only just discovered, is even more of a love-letter to the last great art-form of the 20th century. Kind of like an album length version of The Roots' Act Too.
Anyway, I've been listening to his Visioneers stuff again quite a lot recently, and this has to be the stand-out track; it really is just beaitiful. The guitar line is wistful, funny & sad, the beat is, of course, absolutely spot on, and the whole is simply wonderful. Seriously, it has to be one of my favourite pieces of music of the last few years.
It's like he bottled nostalgia, wrapped a beat around it and then pressed it on vinyl. Just listen to it, you'll get the idea.
[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/2088259" params="" width=" 100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]
*He's also created a wonderful scrap-book site cataloguing the things that have influenced his work.

EJ plays his brother in order to get what he wants, Rafe contemplates Jordan's behavior, and Will walks in on a big surprise.
In Chad's apartment, EJ wonders why his brother is reading about experimental treatments. Chad explains he had a false alarm. Cameron was supposed to be supporting him but kissed Abigail behind his back, so he punished him by lying about having a brain tumor. EJ thinks it's wise. He's thinking like a DiMera.
At the club, Gabi overhears Sonny ask Abigail to be careful Chad doesn't hurt her. Gabi thinks he's backstabbing Chad. Sonny asks her to stay out of it. In the past, Chad has done some nasty things. Gabi remembers - like ruining her wedding. Sonny thinks Chad had a good reason for doing so. Gabi's eyes narrow. Abby doesn't believe Chad would hurt her again. She leaves and Gabi wonders what Will would say if he heard Sonny trashing Chad. That's not what Sonny was doing. They rehash what Gabi did to Melanie and Gabi asks for respect.
Nick gives Kate a new formula at the pub that's sure to make her company a lot of money. Will arrives. Kate explains Nick's freelancing. Nick was just trying to make up for the loss of the formula Sami and Sonny stole from Kate. Will doesn't like the pot shot but Kate reminds her grandson Nick's telling the truth. Nick admits he deserved it. The guys argue and Will brings up Nick's testimony against Sami. Nick leaves and Will smirks. Kate blames herself for Nick getting called to the witness stand.
At the hospital, Rafe finds Jordan all business once again. "Do you always have to look like it's raining and you forgot your umbrella?" He tries making jokes and she shakes her head and smiles on the way to the therapy room. Later, she returns him to his room and leaves when Kate arrives. They agree, aside from Victor, Jordan's the least personal human they know. Rafe can't stop thinking about Jordan when Kate talks about her day. He admits he finds it interesting when someone tries to be someone they're not. From outside, Jordan looks at Rafe with a little smile.
Theresa runs into Jenn in the square and blames her for ruining her life. Jenn tells her the blame's on her own shoulders. Theresa admits she made a mistake. Jenn says with Theresa gone, her son can think clearly. Theresa scoffs at that and vows to take revenge on her. Later, Theresa strikes up a conversation with a biker. She sees Anne and pays the man for a favor. The man attempts to steal Anne's purse and Theresa comes to the rescue. Once the guy's gone, Anne says she knows that was a set-up. She's not helping her get her job back, but appreciates Theresa's nerve. There may be a place for her at the hospital after all.
Daniel confronts JJ in the park about partying in his apartment. JJ quickly denies it but Daniel says he can prove it with Lou's help. JJ confesses to crashing overnight. Daniel doesn't want to make things worse for him. He won't tell if JJ hears him out. Daniel asks him to return home and says Jennifer always had glowing things to say about her son. JJ doesn't believe it but Daniel knows he started talking at 18 months, and about how fast he was in little league. Jenn's proud of him! JJ listens but thinks even if he goes home, Daniel will "force" himself into their lives and turn his mom against him. He says Daniel will never take his father's place. Jennifer comes upon them and JJ runs to tell Rory the news as Daniel explains what happened and Jenn cries and begs him to stay away from her and JJ. "I don't wanna see you again." Elsewhere, Nick is bummed to learn nobody has interest in hiring Gabi as a model.
Abby meets Chad at the pub. EJ interrupts. He reminds Chad of their earlier conversation and wants to be there when Chad breaks 'it' to Abby. Chad has no choice but to tell Abby he's moving into the DiMera mansion. She's okay with it if he is. She goes to take a call and Chad calls EJ an SOB. EJ grins widely. They'll be able to spend a lot of time together! He leaves and Abby returns. She asks what's really going on.
Will and Arianna meet Sonny at the club. They're off to the zoo and Will wonders if Ari will be afraid of the monkeys. He is.
Nick visits Gabi at home. She complains about her argument with Sonny. Nick comforts and kisses her as Will walks in, furious at the display.
