Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel

He mentions two conditions:1) those who die, believe in me, and live2) those who live and believe in me and never dieIf there's a third choice, he's not mentioning it here.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not PREVENT THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up TOGETHER WITH THEM in the clouds, to meet the Loard in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Do we go to Heaven when we die? No, we're dead, and the dead know nothing. That is what the resurrection is for, as the example of Lazarus illustrates. However, after we breathe our last, the very next thing we will be aware of is our life in newness, as if only the twinkling of an eye had passed. So, it doesn't really matter at all! Our life in the here-and-now is like the title page of some book which would fill the Library of Congress, and our death is like the turn of the page - no biggie...That is how I understand it.
Yep me too.....except after the title page the book will be a lot bigger than the Library of Congress...thre will be no end of the numbers of pages.
Ded,I agree with what you said but I was referring to whether we go on to heaven when we die? This verse seems to contridict this idea.CHB

I may be dead wrong, but as see it, there will be at least one veil removed at the end of this age, and heaven will come to earth
IMO the dead in Christ preceding those who remain and are alive at His coming destroys the rapture doctrine, along with the last trumpet and "immediately after the tribulation of those days".
Quote author=eaglesway link=topic=10823.msg145093#msg145093 date=1353648508]QuoteI may be dead wrong, but as see it, there will be at least one veil removed at the end of this age, and heaven will come to earth.....but this doesn't occur until after the millenium is concluded, this event follows Rev 20:2. Follow the timeline of 1000 year period: Satan leads Gog & Magog in an attempted invasion of Israel, Israel's Messiah thwarts the invasion (Ezek 38-39), then the New Jerusalem descends out of heaven & is placed on the new Earth & will encompass an area of almost 1500 square mile. But notice that the New Jerusalem is not "heaven" itself, but that the New Jerusalem descends out of heaven, Rev 21:2. QuoteIMO the dead in Christ preceding those who remain and are alive at His coming destroys the rapture doctrine, along with the last trumpet and "immediately after the tribulation of those days".I have been in a quandry for a long time about the pre-tribulation rapture, I have moments I believe it & moments I don't, depends on what I'm reading. The biggest problem I have for not believing in the rapture is the book of Revelation itself, it is entirely about the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy & the restoration of Israel. The Body of Christ is nowhere present within the pages of Revelation simply because it is a book about the restoration of Israel, by contrast the Body of Christ is composed primarily of non-Israelites, this being the case, what's the point of having the Body of Christ present on the Earth if we are not "appointed unto wrath"? I presume the apostle Paul is referring to the "tribulation" as being that time of "wrath" to which Christ's body is not to be subjected. If this be the case, that explains why the term Body of Christ never appears anywhere in Revelation, it isn't present on the earth.

There have been a number of veils removed already IMO, and I agree the final unveiling will occur, and the end of the millenial age, perhaps- but definitely after the lake of fire- death is a veil, and it will be the last to fall to Christ......
Because all rule power and authority are veils as well, and after death is destroyed Jesus will return the kingdom to the Father for the abolishing of all rule power and authority.......
You see, there are so many brief descriptions of vast subjects.
While I find these thrilling topics for discussion- I have very little interest in debating eschatology, since I don't believ anyone has the whole picture, and we share the part we have, and test all things among ourselves in love and humility- in order to learn more.

Sunday, November 3, 2013
Thousands upon thousands of women have battled breast cancer. Some have pulled through the disease, while others succumbed to the disease after a brave fight. Few people who have waged war with breast cancer are better known than Susan Komen, a name many instantly associate with the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the most widely known, largest and well-funded breast cancer organization in the United States.
Susan G. Komen was born Susan Goodman in 1943 in Peoria, Ill. According to her sister, Nancy, Susan was the high school homecoming queen and a college beauty queen. After graduating from college, Goodman returned to her hometown and pursued modeling, eventually marrying her high school sweetheart, Stan.
Komen was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1977 after finding a lump that subsequent testing revealed was cancerous. Komen underwent a procedure called a subcutaneous mastectomy, in which the outside of the breast tissue was left intact, but the interior breast tissue was removed. The doctor who did the procedure assured Komen that she was cured. Despite urging her sister to get a second opinion, Komen was convinced she was safe.
But within six months Komen found another lump under her arm, and, by this point, it was evident that the cancer had spread. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic soon determined the cancer had metastasized to her lung and under her arm.
Komen underwent several different treatments to slow the progression of the cancer, including radiation and intense chemotherapy. However, the cancer continued to spread and eventually her body developed a resistance to most of the medication. During treatment, Komen repeatedly spoke with her sister about her wish to make the entire breast cancer experience and treatments in the hospital more palatable for women, including improving the appearance of waiting rooms and treatment centers, and doing other things to help comfort those who would find themselves in similar situations in the future. Komen lost her battle with breast cancer in 1980 at age 36.
By the time of her death, Komen had undergone nine operations and three courses of chemotherapy and radiation.
Nancy Goodman Brinker then made it her mission to do everything she could to help end breast cancer and increase awareness of this potentially deadly disease. In 1982, Brinker established the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in her sister's memory. Since its inception, the organization, now called Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has provided funding for basic, clinical and translational breast cancer research projects.
It also has become instrumental in breast health education and urging women to do self-screening while promoting annual mammograms. Through the years, the foundation has teamed up with many well-known businesses, brands and organizations as part of its fundraising efforts.
To date, the organization has invested $750 million in breast cancer research, awarding many thousands of dollars in grants in countries around the world.

Hypersports of Sweden Makes HUGE Donation to Ronald McDonald House
Thursday, December 27th, 2012
The paintball players of Sweden have made a BIG difference this year, not just in the Scandinavian paintball scene, but in the lives of millions of children around the world. This year, Hypersports donated over 11,500 Euro to help fund the construction of a fifth Ronald McDonald house in their home country.
"During 2012, we decided to do something a little extra special, something we think is really important. We wanted to make a difference, for those who have it really hard" mentioned the Hypersports Team. "You, our customers who bought gear from us in 2012, have been involved in making something beautiful, something we are proud of now when this paintball season is coming to an end."
What is a Ronald McDonald House?
Sometimes when a child gets sick, they have to go to a hospital far from their families. Parents want to be with their child every second during such a difficult time, but when they are far away it makes it extremely difficult. That's where the Ronald McDonald houses come in. They provide a place near big hospitals for parents to be with their unfortunate children.
The Hypersports team consistently runs promotions and sales where a percentage of the sale are used to raise money for this great cause every year. "Since this cause is close to our heart, we will continue to collect money and make a big donation in 2013. We hope to be able to donate even more in 2013 so that more of these houses can be built!"
For more information on the Ronald McDonald house, visit www.rmhc.com

A Bryan man told police and several witnesses he was on drugs while allegedly shoplifting, stealing a car, and then stealing a College Station ambulance.
News 3 discovered more on the suspect Coty Lohse and saw surveillance video from the store where the alleged crime spree started.
College Station Police say 28-year-old Coty Lohse committed a series of crimes including stealing an ambulance Monday afternoon.
Police say it started with a shoplifting at the Q Beauty Store on North Texas Avenue in Bryan.
Sung Hee Han is the owner and says Lohse was with a woman and they were caught on camera.
"They looked around just looked like normal customers," said Han.
Han says he emptied his pockets several times but the theft alarm continued to go off.
"I go hold my door and he came to me and pushed the door and then girl pulled into the door. And then oh I thought maybe he going to try to hit me, I better let them go," Han recalled.
Han lost track of them but minutes later Lohse allegedly stole a Nissan Versa delivery car just a block away with keys in them, at the CarQuest Auto Parts Store.
He is then accused of hitting a car and driving away in Bryan before hitting another car in College Station.
That's when paramedics where called and Lohse was charged with stealing their ambulance with the lights running.
"So the ambulance crew went to check out patients. One of the patients obviously didn't want to be there and he hopped in the ambulance and took off while the crew was checking on another patient," said Bart Humphreys, College Station Fire Department Public Information Officer.
Witness Willie Creeks says he asked for help and a ride after dumping the ambulance in the middle of Holleman Drive. He told Creeks and police he'd been doing drugs.
"He was acting very strange, really strange and I didn't realize how serious it was until it was all over. It all happened so fast," said Willie Creeks.
Lohse has seven arrests in Brazos County including evading arrest, assault and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Lohse remains in the Brazos County Jail after being treated at the College Station Medical Center.
College Station Fire Officials say a reserve ambulance is being used while the damaged one gets repaired.
The $250,000 ambulance had minor scrape damage on the side after police say Lohse struck a concrete bollard while at the McDonald's drive-thru on George Bush Drive.
It's unclear if the other woman seen in the store will face charges after Lohse allegedly shoplifted.
College Station Fire Officials say it's been 25 years since someone attempted to steal an ambulance.

Eddie Boggs left lasting mark as musician, educatorWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Eddie Boggs' voice carried him from the hills of his native Kentucky to stages nationwide, but it was his heart and humor that endeared him to nearly everyone he met.
The folk musician and retired educator died Jan. 9 in Sylvania after an eight-month battle with cancer. He was 68.
Boggs moved to Northwest Ohio more than 40 years ago, sharing the stage with dozens of local musicians, including Kerry Patrick Clark, Pat Dailey and Diane Scribner. He performed regularly at Put-in-Bay and brushed shoulders with national acts like Lee Greenwood, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Mamas and the Papas and more. He also toured with The New Christy Minstrels.
"Music is something I love," Boggs told Toledo Free Press in August. "The rewards from it are just beyond description. The people you meet, the places you travel to are phenomenal."
Boggs was born in rural Soldier, Ky., on Aug. 10, 1945, the youngest of six children of a brick factory laborer and a stay-at-home mom.
"Let's just say we didn't know how poor we were," his oldest brother Carl Boggs of Memphis, Tenn., said, laughing. "But we had a good life."
Eddie started singing at a young age, joining his parents and three of his siblings in a family singing group that performed at churches and venues across several counties.
"He was a constant entertainer and he was always smiling," Carl said. "Eddie was always the bright place, the shining star."
He later learned to play instruments, including piano, guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and harmonica.
"He had raw talent but really developed it. He was a self-made musician," Carl said. "I guess it was just a gift that God gave him that he really fully appreciated and used to the utmost benefit."
The family moved to Ohio when Boggs was a teen. A counselor told him he wasn't smart enough for college, but Boggs enrolled anyway, taking classes at The Ohio State University's Mansfield campus during the day while working nights at a steel mill. He went on to earn two master's degrees from the University of Toledo and started coursework toward a Ph.D.
In 1997, Boggs penned a commercial jingle, "Keep Jeep In Toledo," considered to be one of the motivating factors for Chrysler's decision to keep Jeep production in Toledo. Boggs also founded the Lake Erie West Hall of Fame for the Performing Arts and was active with charity projects, including hosting an annual holiday variety show that raised more than $250,000.
'A life of song'
Boggs seemed to be in perfect health until a lump discovered on his neck led to a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in May. Doctors pronounced him cancer-free in November, but just weeks later, scans showed the cancer was back. Already weakened from months of chemotherapy, Boggs began another round of treatments and entered hospice soon after.
"Eddie never drank, never smoked. The strongest thing he ever drank was Dr Pepper," Carl said. "That's kind of what shocked us all. Just from being a picture of health to eight months later, it's just unbelievable. But that's life."
"A life of song." That's how church leader Thayer Salisbury of Flanders Road Church of Christ described Boggs' life during his funeral Jan. 13.
Boggs always put others before himself and "had an incredible ability to stand up for what he believed without making anybody mad," Salisbury said.
His faith and humility allowed him to stay grounded, he added.
"One of the greatest Eddie Boggs quotes of all time was something I heard him say in various forms, several times: 'Every time I perform, I'm aware that there may be someone in the audience who could sing it or play it better than I,'" Salisbury said.
"[He was] the most honorable person I ever met," said Randy Sparks, founder of The New Christy Minstrels, in an email to Toledo Free Press. "Eddie Boggs lived every day of his bigger-than-life presence on Earth to the fullest, and there never was a better human being."
In 1991, Boggs married his wife Chris, who had two young daughters, Sara Roemer and Grace Barton. Eddie and Chris later welcomed another daughter, Allison Boggs.
"He would always call us his daughters; he never separated it out like that," Roemer said. "I think that's just an added testament to him. We were his from the beginning."
"He told us he fulfilled everything he wanted to accomplish in life," Barton added. "And that was having three daughters be grown and sisters and happy."
Connection to kids
Boggs retired in 2007 after 37 years as a teacher and school counselor, most recently at Timberstone Junior High School in Sylvania.
Boggs enjoyed an easy rapport with students, former colleagues said.
"I think it's because he was still kind of a kid himself," said Timberstone science teacher Diane Friedman. "He loved the practical jokes."
Rose Gaiffe, who worked with Boggs as a guidance counselor, said he was a master at identifying students in need.
"I watched Eddie perform miracles every day with adolescents who needed a smile, a song, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on or just a safe place to sit and rock," Gaiffe wrote in an email. "He went to the cafeteria for all three lunch periods every day, monitored lunch recesses and got to know the kids by playing 'Horse,' or volleyball or passing on the goofiest knock-knock joke."
Boggs often used music to relate to kids, said retired Timberstone principal Jack Smith.
"It was not unusual to walk past Eddie's office and hear him singing to and with a student," Smith said. "Music opened doors for Eddie with students that may not have been opened otherwise."
Gail Brenner, an eighth-grade math teacher at Timberstone, remembers Boggs stopping by the homes of chronically truant students to personally make sure they were awake and coming to school.
"That was the kind of person he was," Brenner said. "He was so dedicated to the kids. And he cared about the whole kid — their background, where they came from, what struggles they had at home — and became a parent to a lot of kids who really didn't have parents. He took kids under his wing and he was always the life force."
He was also popular with fellow teachers, composing and performing personalized songs for the retirees at each year's retirement party.
Former student Holly Williams of Toledo said she and Boggs bonded over poetry and their mutual love of playing the fiddle.
"For years I offered to teach him 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' and he would always tell me his fingers didn't move that fast. Whenever he did the festivals in Sylvania I would heckle him and ask him to play that song. He'd laugh and tell me to pick something he could play," Williams said. "One year he told me he figured out how to play it. We walked over to a case, but he did not pull out a fiddle. Instead he pulled out a cassette recorder. He pushed play and it was Charlie Daniels. He said that was the only way he could play that song."
Retired social studies teacher Al Thompson also remembers Boggs' impact.
"He always had an open door for the kids, and I believe they felt they could walk into his office any time and talk to him about anything and find a sympathetic ear," Thompson said. "He did so much to make this little corner of the globe a better place."
Clark and Scribner both met Boggs as students. Both joined the guitar club he offered and later started performing with him at regional events.
"He really took me under his wing and mentored me from an entertainment perspective," Clark said. "He was an amazing human being."
"He had the uncanny ability of performing or teaching to a group of people and making each person feel as if they were the most important person in the room," Scribner said.
Dailey met Boggs at Put-in-Bay, where both performed for years.
"He was the kind of guy who when he talked to you and asked a question, you knew he would listen and actually wanted to know the answer," Dailey said. "I thought he was one of the nicest fellows I ever met."
'Uniquely generous'
On Jan. 12, Rep. Marcy Kaptur presented his family with a flag that had flown over the Capitol in Washington, D.C. On Jan. 14, she offered a tribute to Boggs.
"Eddie was a man held in particular affection by the thousands of people whose lives he touched so positively," Kaptur said in remarks to the House of Representatives. "Eddie's music will always play in our hearts. He lifted us to be a better and more caring people."
During a phone call with Toledo Free Press on Jan. 15, Kaptur recalled Boggs leading student trips to Washington, D.C., where he would stop to sing and play guitar outside the Capitol.
"It just brightened the Capitol whenever he was here," Kaptur said. "He was like a strolling minstrel. He would sing patriotic songs and American songs and he shared his talents so freely and so gently.
"He was uniquely gifted and he was uniquely generous," Kaptur added. "He used his music to entertain, mobilize and uplift. He really shared his talent broadly. I always called him the music man. How many of us in our lifetime meet someone like that? You don't meet many people like that in your lifetime."

Since I posted about the S2000's differential issues, I figured I would post an update on the situation…. And yeah, I do have other photos I should work on sharing. Sigh. But for now, my issues lol.
After finding the tiny bits, the differential was removed and cracked open…. And, well, good & bad news.
The good: the Torsen diff itself & housing are both okay.
The bad: The pinion gear sheared itself to bits…. Ooops. The ring gear is okay, too, though. But the gears needed to be replaced, plus the bearings.
Currently, the entire assembly is en route to Puddy Mod Racing, down in Florida, to get some upgraded parts & get reassembled. Hooray for that! :) The gearing is going to now be 4.44, so when she's all done there will be a bit of relearning with her….
However, she's not entirely breaking the bank AND it is a partial upgrade, so that's nice. The hardest part is being without her for so long. :( Hopefully she'll be home soon, and a bit better than before.
Car life is never dull, now is it?

Pulling back the curtain on Apple's Lightning connector licensing program
Way back in our iPhone 5 review, iMore mentioned new restrictions Apple had put in place for their new Lightning connector licensing program. Now, thanks to iOS device accessory maker mophie, even more information has come to light. Ross Howe, vice-president of market for mophie, spoke with Brian X. Chen of the New York Times and revealed:
When a hardware maker signs up with Apple's MFi Program, for companies that make accessories for Apple products, it orders a Lightning connector component from Apple to use in designing the accessory. The connectors have serial numbers for each accessory maker, and they contain authentication chips that communicate with the phones. When the company submits its accessory to Apple for testing, Apple can recognize the serial number.
While the chip can be, and is being, reverse engineered, Apple could also theoretically issue software updates that would disable Lightning products that did not use authentic chips.
In controlling Lightning products in the way, Apple also has some control over the quality of such products. Apple's policies with these accessories ensure that the market isn't flooded with cheap knock-off products that could potentially damage the Lightning, and thus Apple, brand.
The most take away is that Apple wants the best possible user experience with its devices, and by exerting some control over third-party hardware, they make sure that customers have the best experience however they use their devices.

Pulling back the curtain on Apple's Lightning connector licensing program
Spin it all you want to me it's nothing but gouging their customers. There's no excuse not use micro-USB like the rest of the world. Except that you can sell adapters for insane prices. I could buy 3 HDMI cables for what Apple is charging for lightning cables. I could barely stomach the Amazon branded lightning cable for $15.
I agree on the gouging part: cables, adapters, and phones/pads with higher memory are a true rip-off. Disagree on 'no excuse to not use micro-USB'... the lightning connector is a vast improvement in ease of use over the micro-USB. Easy to insert (since no right-side-up) even in the dark.
Just one question. Is anyone that responds to these articles actually a "fan" of Apple or a customer of Apple? It seems like after I get done reading just about every story I can count on scrolling down and hearing people bash just about everything about Apple. I'm not a "fanboy" I just prefer Apple products, so I buy them. Sometimes if you want quality you have to pay a little bit more.
Quick question for those who think it is only about the money (when, time and again, these "it's just for the money issues appear as a blip on the Apple balance sheets).
Put your non-tech blog reading person hat on for a second.
Then answer this question.
You buy a $3 "lightning cable" from monoprice or the like. It stops working, or, better yet, never works. It's "Just a charging cable" is the thought, so who do you blame? Apple. Who's reputation/satisfaction is impacted? Apple.
It is called protecting your reputation and brand.
No different than the auto industry. They ALWAYS tell you to use factory authorized parts. Generally more expensive. They don't stop you from using any generic part you want, but you are responsible for the costs associated if something does happen. Those speculating that Apple will somehow via a software update make these not MFi accessories stop working need to take off their tin foil hats. Apple has enough to do that wasting development resources on a never ending battle with those who wish to circumvent the authorized way of doing things to INTENTIONALLY block these from working is a waste of time.
Apple can not account for every possibility hence they set up the MFi program. Then, there is a certain level of confidence that when Apple changes something, they will know what the standards they have outlined, that are being followed by the participants in the MFi program, impacts are and account for them.
"Quick question for those who think it is only about the money ..."
What else is it then about but money? Apple exist to make as much money as possible. Everything they do aims to fulfill this goal. All they care of is to maximize the money they can hoard from you. They do nothing for any other purpose. So... go figure what it is about. It is about their making money on you. And Apple have become very good at making money on their customers. Very good.
Jeez, heaven forbid a company tried to make money. I'm sure you spend all your time at work for free. Better not try to make money for something that you do or make. Apple operates in a capitalist market. Whatever the customer is willing to pay is the fair price. Obviously people are okay paying what Apple is charging. I am. I pay for the reputation in the brand to take care of me, I pay for the service, I pay for the ease of use of the device, I pay for the integration into my existing ecosystem. Why should Apple be vilified for making money when that is the job of EVERY SINGLE COMPANY that isn't a non-profit?
Non-profits are also in the business of making as much money as possible in a capitalistic market. Some use it to make a difference, and others use it to pay themselves...
Apple is smart enough to exploit their loyal, mainstream, mostly non-tech userbase to enhance their profits on high margin accessories, because 90% of their customers have bought into their product image, and will pay the price, because they want the main product, and never consider the cost of accessories when purchasing a product.
I'm smart enough, or at least aware enough to consider the costs of the ecosystem, but Apple has created an image-based market for their products, and 99% of their purchasers will readily spend an extra 5 - 10% of the product's price for an important "accessory" once they have the product.
And the same principles applies to the printer market, except that printers aren't "image" items. It's the supplies that provide income, not the product. Apple, amazingly, like it or not, has created a market that can demand premiums for both the products, AND the extras, without having to really worry about the extras affecting the purchase decision of the product itself.
Yeah, its crummy and distasteful, but if you ever bought an hdmi cable, then you should know that you weren't paying for better quality. Only a convenient way to support media providers to have control over your content and devices.
Does it suck for us who give a damn? Sure. But then again I don't use apple products, for many reasons, this being only a small one of them.. You are all right to call them out, but then again, their job is always to make profits first. And they do it well in spite of us who don't want to buy in. That's the ultimate choice we have in capitalism... If you don't support the product or the company, you can choose not to "buy in". You may not change their direction, but at least you aren't being manipulated by their business model and supporting something you don't see as compelling enough to support in its entirety.
Notice I said "only about the money"
It is not only about the money, and that was especially true with Jobs. Say what you want about him, and I am sure he was a bit of an egomaniac, but it wasn't about the money. He felt he could put a "dent in the universe" and many believe he did.
If your only pursuit is money, you will ultimately fail.
You might be right, but does it do everything that Apple is doing with the Lightning cable? Does it require a separate connection for protected content output? A co worker has Droid Razr Maxx HD and it has like 2 or 3 different connectors on it. one for charging, one for HD content. That is part of it, I am sure. And if it bothers you so much, you can use micro-usb and get the adapter.
or apple just wants the money, plain an simple. im a huge apple fan, and even i can see that. im ok with it though, because i only ever bought apple chargers anyways. still kind of crappy though
If you buy the "quality" argument, then you must also buy the "they don't have an SD card slot because it would take up too much room". It has nothing to do with the fact they can charge you $100-200 more for higher capacity permanent limited internal storage, when for that price you could buy ten SD cards and be on your way to unlimited storage.
I have an iPad3, iPhone4, and an AppleTV. I have them because they work together and the apps I want are on these platforms.
But the iPhone5 finally turned me - I want a phone with an SD card, and I am not repurchasing $100's of accessories, so when I upgrade my phone, it will be an Android. And as I replace each device, it will likely be a non-Apple product. I love my iPad, but without an SD slot that I can freely access without Jailbreaking, it's been very difficult. Just too limited.
Apple makes great products, but they just cripple them in ways that are transparent money grabs, and the other devices are starting to outpace them with features anyway. It doesn't have to be that way, I was hoping new leadership would change this direction, but it hasn't and unless it does - no more Apple products for me.
I know people like to use this 'money grab' argument, but Apple isn't making products for everyone. They are making products for most people. Most people never upgrade a hard drive, ram, or anything on their computer. And if the nonSD slot is your reason for not purchasing apple, that is your choice. Bit to say it is a money grab when other manufacturers follow suit? Is a bit of an admission that you have your opinion and no amount of discussion or truth will change your mind.

A local pastor running for the State House calls himself "the conservative grassroots choice."
Kevin Carter, senior pastor at Talatha Baptist Church, officially announced on Thursday at Newberry Hall that he will run for the S.C. House District 86 seat in 2014. That seat is currently occupied by Rep. Bill Taylor, who was first elected in 2010.
Carter joined the United States Navy after college and later became an auto mechanic and heavy equipment operator before getting into the ministry. He has four children and has been married to his wife Shelley for 15 years.
Carter said that, if elected, he would focus on a variety of issues including cutting taxes and fees, reducing the size of state government and fighting the "back door" implementation of the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare, in South Carolina.
Carter said he believes that many of today's politicians have forgotten the definition of compromise, citing the current partial government shutdown. He said he's willing to compromise on many things, but doing so without giving up his principles during the process.
"I've been a pastor now for 15 years, and in being a pastor of smaller churches, you have to learn to work with different personalities. You have to learn to work from different points of view," Carter said. "But, in saying that, you have to stay true to your core principles, your core convictions, which means that there are some things worth fighting about but also things not worth fighting about. You must rely on wisdom and a lot of prayer (to know) what's worth fighting about and what's not worth fighting about."
Carter said he believes in term limits and supports the FairTax. He added that education in the state needs to seriously be addressed, stating that Common Core standards are "no good" for South Carolina schools.
Carter ended his announcement by saying that it's time to remind politicians that they work for the citizens.
"I'm not going to Columbia to make friends, but to do what's right for the citizens," Carter said.
A meet and greet will be held Saturday at 877 Sycamore Drive in Aiken from 4 to 6 p.m. To RSVP, call 803-642-9668 or email email@example.com.

Senior first baseman Ben Thomas was named the 2011 A-10 Player of the Year.
May 24, 2011
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- Xavier senior first baseman Ben Thomas was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year in voting conducted by the league's coaches. Thomas was also named First Team All-Conference along with fellow senior, center fielder John McCambridge and sophomore Seth Willoughby. McCambridge also earned a spot on the Academic All-Conference team and freshmen, outfielder Brian Bruening and starting pitcher Vinny Nittoli, were named to the All-Rookie team.
Thomas, a three-time All-Conference selection, posted an impressive .352 average at the plate during his senior season, including 41 runs scored, 16 doubles, 14 homers and 57 RBI. The Columbus, Ohio native led the A-10 in RBI (31) and total bases (74) during Conference play, while ranking second in the league in slugging percentage (.634), RBI and home runs overall.

Rose Hill Estate's chef and his flan recipe will be featured on an area television show Friday.
Chef Clayton Knapp will appear on WJBF News Channel 6 at 12:30 p.m. during a special Valentine's Day-themed episode of "The Dish."
Knapp, who is trying to build a network of local chefs, was connected to WJBF through Christian Carlisle of Plum Pudding.
When Knapp heard "The Dish" episode will highlight Valentine's Day, he thought of Rose Hill Estate's own Valentine's Day menu, which will offer the sweet, sponge-like dessert.
Knapp will prepare the dish during the episode and also provide a recipe, which viewers can use in their own kitchens.
Steve Mueller, who owns Rose Hill Estate, also talks about the history of the property, located on Greenville Street N.W.
Knapp studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Atlanta and said he likes to mix different cuisine styles with a Southern base to create dishes that are "fun, exciting, unique, and something people haven't seen before."
Knapp will also be the guest chef on the March 8 episode of "The Dish."

Looking at the negative things in our lives is both human nature and necessary – to a point. Then it becomes destructive.
As a nation we have spent the last two years at least bashing one another over the head and pointing out all the bad things about ourselves in preparation for elections. Many in the news media profession have been a huge part of this. We'll admit to pointing the finger at the bad things in our world. We think it necessary to understand the problems in Pickens and upper Anderson counties before we will know how to approach improving on them.
The problem comes when we simply talk about and report on the negatives – house fires, car wrecks, a lack of money for this or that, the failure of one of our elected officials to do something – and don't look to the positive ways to improve on the ills of our time.
We don't want this editorial to be interpreted as a reference simply to the state of national politics. It is not. We use reference to national politics because it is a recent symbol of negative vibes in our communities. It is time to move on from national politics.
This editorial is more about the nature of humans to wallow in the negative and failure to see the positives. Many of us have suffered struggles and continue to suffer struggles. Often these struggles make us stronger, so, in that growth, we need to be thankful for the opportunity to improve and move on to something better.
This is a Thanksgiving Day message, a message that yearns for hope. Hope will spring from an attitude of gratitude. So we now need to work on being grateful for the things we do have. That will lead us all as individuals, as a community and as a nation to see the possibilities of where we are and what we have right now and where we can go if we believe we can.

David Hall: The Texas silver commemoratives are readily available in Gem condition and indeed the 1936-D is the most available of all the 1934-1938 Texas issues in MS65 thru MS68 grades. Only the MS68 grade can be considered rare. Most 1936-D Texas have great eye appeal and most have white frosty luster.
