I tried to do the same thing. The problem was that she weighed 50 pounds and I weighed 120 pounds. So I broke the desk and my mom came in getting ready to chew me out but I protested with " But the floor was lava!! What was I supposed to do?!!"

Gospel Hour pastor Rockwood dies
Perry F. Rockwood, a pastor whose weekly radio sermon, the Peoples Gospel Hour, has been heard around the world, has died in Halifax at the age of 90.
Share via Email
HALIFAX–Perry F. Rockwood, a pastor whose weekly radio sermon, the Peoples Gospel Hour, has been heard around the world, has died in Halifax at the age of 90.
Rockwood, who was born in New Glasgow, N.S., died Friday in hospital after a brief illness, about two weeks shy of his 91st birthday.
Ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1943, Rockwood suffered a bitter break from the church a few years later after charging the faith's leaders with apostasy during a four-sermon series.
The split made front-page news across Canada.
The fundamentalist preacher soon founded a radio program called the Peoples Gospel Hour, which first aired Sept. 5, 1947, on CKCL Radio in Truro, N.S.
Aside from that program, which airs Sundays, Rockwood's project has grown to include Monday through Friday radio broadcasts and the publication of religious booklets.
His radio programs have been heard on stations in Canada, the United States and throughout the world, including Africa, Asia and Europe.
Rockwood also founded and served as the pastor of the Missionary Bible Church in Halifax.
During the Pope's visit to the region in 1984, Rockwood joined about 50 other people in a small parking lot behind the church to speak out against the Pope, the Roman Catholic Church and the sacraments.
Rockwood will be buried in Halifax tomorrow following a funeral service.

I have been hosted at WHB for years now and have always recieved the best service one could expect, no delays, no fuss, all good all the way. You're looking for a web host in the US, well it does'nt get any better than them.
Minh H 17 Mar 2011
Webhostingbuzz has provided 100% what they promised and more. It has raised the bar so high for all economical webhosting services. Customer support is friendly, prompt and professional, not that I needed their services anyway, except one time. The technicians seem to be knowledgeable, but more importantly they honestly treat customers with respe
cts and patience, which is a trait that unfortunately a lot of other businesses cannot enforce on their employees. The actual hosting service is incredible for such a reasonable price. I have 100% uptime for more than 3 years now, well, maybe not , but I believe almost there. Now that they have such positive reputation, I hope WHB can extend its reputation to all fields that they're working on, and never lose focus on the vision in their mission statement
Cornel B 16 Oct 2010
If I take a look over the last years of my small bussiness, I must agree that Webhostingbuzz was
the most reliable service provider. A few years ago, I decided to move my reseller account from a weak company to WHB and since then I receive fair prices (even smaller then the competition), strong services and the best support service I've ever met. Ac
tually, every support question receives answer extremely fast and all the issues are fixed - here I mention the support desk (tickets), online support and phone contact. Thank you!
Primo Website D 29 Sep 2010
I have been hosting with Web Hosting Buzz for almost 2 years
In that time the service has been the best I've seen of any hosting provider. They are there 24/7, and taking in to account that I'm in Australia this is excellent indeed. Response times to tickets are within the hour. I couldn't be more happy with Web Hosting Buzz as my Hosting Pr

Common misuses: common expressions
As Such
One of these misused expressions is "as such". This phrase is seldom used correctly these days, and its incorrect use often renders the sentence laughable. Some people misuse the phrase completely because they have mistaken its meaning, thinking it means "therefore", which is just plain silly.
In order to make sense, "as such", a pronominal phrase, must refer back to a noun in the previous sentence or clause. It cannot be used to refer to a verb.
Consider this: "I've worked in the hospitality industry for some years now. As such, I've learnt a lot about cleaning equipment." The speaker obviously intends "as such" to refer to "worked" which is the verb in the previous sentence, but grammatically, "as such" can only refer to a noun. You could say, however, "I've been a hotel room attendant for some years now. As such...etc".
Partake of/partake in/take part
Another word whose misuse is becoming widespread is "partake". It really means "to take a share" and has traditionally been used to refer to the sharing of food, as in "We partook of a delicious seafood banquet last night". However, it has long been used in a figurative sense, as in "partaking in each other's joys", which carries the implication of sharing. The difference between the two usages lies in the accompanying pronoun, in or of. If we partake of, we each take a share of something – I eat my share of the food, you eat yours. If we partake in, we share mutually – your joys are also mine, my joys are also yours. Can you see the subtle difference between the two?
But the main problem is that some people are now using "partake" where they should use "take part", as in "We partook in a football match yesterday", which to my mind ruins a nice, rather subtle little expression. However, language is constantly changing and I don't think I can do anything to stop this particular change!
Two more misuses can only be seen in writing, as both ways of using them sound the same in speech. I'm talking about "all together" vs "altogether" and "on to" vs "onto". Let's look at the second phrase first.
Onto/on to
The word "onto" is quite new. It used to be considered altogether incorrect when I was a child. However, it is now considered quite OK to say "I put the plate onto the shelf", and there's nothing wrong with that. Where the word gets misused is in sentences such as "He went onto say how pleased he was with the new house" or even "The plane flew onto London"! In cases such as these, where something is definitely not being superimposed on something else, we should leave the two words separate.
Altogether/all together
I hope I haven't got you altogether confused because I'll now go on to "all together". When we do something as a group we do it all together, as in "We left the party all together".
The word "altogether" is another matter altogether.
If you were to write the sample sentence as "We left the party altogether" it would mean that you left the party absolutely, utterly and completely, never to return. You might apply that to a political party, but not the social gathering sort of party, which you might have left early because you were tired, not because you were in high dudgeon over something, although I suppose that's also possible!
I plan to do a few more of these posts, so if you have any words or phrases that you're not sure how to use, let me know and I'll try to incorporate them.

Dunno about your part of the world Satima, but on this side of the puddle there are many misuses of words and or phrases. One of my bêtes noirs is could've or should've which is frequently interpreted and often written as 'could of, should of' people having no idea it is a shortened form of could have or should have. When I see it in a book it really tees me off.

Yup, they happen here, too. Another odd one is "I got then off of my mother" and others of like ilk.
We now have a generation of people teaching English who have never learnt grammar. Not good.

Oh yes, off of is used here too. One song which used to be a favourite is frequently sung "can't take my eyes off of you" grrrr. There are lots more which I can't call to mind right now. Oh I know, it likely will happen is another phrase. Of course like is a very over used word here, kids can't speak a sentence without using like half a dozen times. We asked a friend's daughter to try saying things without the word for a while, she was no longer able to converse.

Just remembered another thing which drives me up the wall, a picture is hung a person is hanged. If you mention transitive and intransitive verbs to people, you would just get blank stares. My mother used to go nuts about salty, its not salty its salt. That soup was very salt. Of course as Winston said "up with which I shall not put".
- Monday, April 11, 2011

I love that song, too, apart from the "off of"!
Of course, language changes and we have to live with it. These days,if we used "salt" as an adjective (apart from the common phrase "salt water") people would think we were ignorant or daft or both. And ending sentences with prepositions is no longer considered wicked, so Mr Churchill would not have to twist his words today.
I'm planning on putting up a post on transitive and intransitive verbs one of these days!

What really irritates me is misuse of the word "reform" in the newspapers. When I was growing up, it meant "to make it better" - a law against sending kids down into the mines or one wiping out slavery is a reform. Closing down schools is not an education reform. Even more irritating is reading, as I have, about "draconian reforms". You'd think journalists would know better.
For the record, I teach grammar and spelling. So does every other teacher I know. But what can you do when a student has grown up on text messages and, before that, chat rooms, where it's perfectly legitimate to spell "and" & (I got a story in slush recently that did this) and "Thanks" "thanx" or even "thx" because it costs extra to use too many characters? They forget. They don't mean it, but they forget and hand in work with spelling taken from their mobile phones.

You must be really up against it, Sue. It's good that the system is including grammar in the curriculum again, but a whole generation of teachers went through school without learning any, so how can they teach it properly? I daresay there are some new teachers who also feel it's OK to use l33t and txt spelling because they've grown up with them, too.
Misused words:-( I guess we have to live with them and accept that this is the way words change in meaning. One that bugs me is the use of "convince" when the correct word would be "persuade". The difference between them is another of those subtleties that the language seems to be losing.

Donn LeVie - Over a 25-plus year career, Fortune 500 hiring manager, award-winning author, and keynote speaker Donn LeVie Jr. has reviewed more than one thousand cover letters and résumés, conducted hundreds of job interviews, and hired countless professionals for scientific, engineering, marketing, and communications positions. Donn's career strategy advice comes from the hiring manager's side of the desk to teach job seekers and career changers what hiring managers want in a candidate so they can adjust their approach to become the candidate of choice throughout the entire hiring process. His award-winning book, Confessions of a Hiring Manager Rev. 2.0, continues to be the best and only resource for showing people how to create successful careers--from the hiring manager's perspective.
Braggie Mabry - Is a loving caring wife, who is also a mother of two grown children; a son and a daughter. She also has three grandchildren. She loves to spend time with them and help with school activities.She was born in Flint Michigan March 15, 1960. She attend church every Sunday, and Bible Study on Wednesday. She was so inspired by going to the library checking out five or six books at a time to read. My favorite authors are Danielle Steel and Kimberly Lawson Roby. Reading their books gave me courage to want to write. I always had thoughts about writing, but was afraid to take the first step. After I kept going to the library reading my favorite authors books, I decided to write one of my own. In the near future I plan to continue with my writing and hopes that one day I will be the author that I can be.

Survey conducted by YouGov indicates changing personal banking preferences among Britain's residents presents delivery challenges for banks
LONDON, January 9, 2014 - Research published today by Genpact Limited (NYSE: G), a global leader in transforming and running business processes and operations, reveals a tangible shift in personal banking preferences in Britain - away from bank-staff driven and toward customer self-directed services. The survey of 2,337 adults living in Britain, conducted by YouGov, revealed that close to two thirds (64%) of people online who hold a current account with a bank or building society would prefer to conduct their banking online or via a mobile application compared to just 29% who prefer telephone or in-branch banking.
Results of the survey also showed that 29% of respondents surveyed had not used their bank's call centre service, which indicates the rising importance of direct access for personal banking.
Hugh Morris, Genpact's vice president of Banking, Financial Services and Insurance, Europe, said, "This survey is a clear signal that the industry must change its approach and begin to direct resources away from call centres and branches and towards better, more effective facilities for customers to do their own banking. It shows unequivocally that consumers are moving away from the 'branch and telephone banking' model and demanding a more 'virtual banking' services model."
The research suggests consumers surveyed are driving the rise of the virtual bank as they demand faster banking and better interaction with their bank which is a trend that is predictably led by the internet generation of 25-34 year-olds. This band of technology savvy 'Generation Y' is the most likely to prefer banking online or via a mobile application (75%) and the least likely to prefer to visit a branch (11%).
Morris added, "Fundamentally, this survey has revealed that British banks must rethink their service delivery models. The legacy, intermediated operating models dating back to the 20th century that are still in use today need to be overhauled in order to cater to the banking preferences of the next generation who want direct access to do their own banking."
Current telephone and in-branch banking delivery services are viewed as being analogue processes in a digital world. These are associated with waiting, whether in a queue or on hold, and seen as cumbersome and time consuming. All of these factors go against the instant service delivery that consumers expect today.
"The UK can learn a lot about the use of nimble service delivery approaches for personal banking from some developing countries where we are seeing a real revolution in the way these services are provided. For example, there are regions in India and Africa where users never go to a branch but have the ability to conduct all banking transactions by SMS, smartphone or tablet. People are now demanding this level of flexibility in the UK and banks need to drive a fundamental re-engineering of their customer operational processes in order to keep up with customer demand," Morris concluded.
Other findings from the study revealed:
- Over a third (34%) of people online who hold a current account with a bank or building society aged 55 and over would prefer to visit banks compared with just 11% of 25-34 year olds
- Only 31% of all GB adults believe that regulation of the banking industry is a lot better now than it was before the financial crisis in 2008
- LinkedIn users who hold a current account with a bank or building society are more likely to prefer virtual banking (74%) compared to Facebook, Twitter and Google+ users.

Driver trapped after trucks collide near Matamata
Relevant offers
A severely injured driver was trapped after two trucks, one carrying 61 gas cylinders, crashed head-on on State Highway 27 near Matamata this morning.
Ten fire engines from Hamilton, Tauranga, Greerton, Matamata and Tirau went to the scene. Gas cylinders on one of the trucks were believed to be contained and stable.
Emergency services had worked to free the trapped driver and road diversions were in place.
St John Northern Communications shift manager Norm Ngatai said both drivers were transported to Waikato Hospital, one with serious injuries, including a compound leg fracture, and the other with moderate injuries.
The driver who had been trapped was airlifted by the Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance after he was freed from the cabin of his truck.
''The patient with serious injuries was in the truck for some time,'' Ngatai said. ''He was stuck under the steering wheel and they had trouble extricating him.''
Police were asking the public to avoid the area, between Taihoa South Rd and the intersection with SH29 near Hinuera, as the road will be blocked for some time.
Fire Service communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said the Hamilton crew had "heavy rescue equipment".
Police district prevention manager, Inspector Rob Lindsay, said initial indications were that one truck, that had been following another, had pulled out when the front truck braked, and crashed head-on with a truck coming the other way.
The commercial vehicle investigation unit was investigating.

Here's the question you clicked on:
How do I get the Maclaurin series of (2k)/(3^k) ? I tried to make it in the form of a geometry series but still couldn't get anywhere. Thanks.
The McLaurin series is just the Taylor series when the center is at 0. so do you know how to find the Taylor series of this?
hmm.. The thing is I don't know how I can find the Taylor series of this equation. :(
The usual equations that I could find to turn it into a Taylor Series is of a geometry series form where I can make it in the form of 1/(1-x) become making it a taylor series. In this one, there is no way I could make it in that form. That's why I don't know how to convert it to either the maclaurin or taylor series. Any help on this would be great. Thanks!
\[f(0) + f'(0)x + {f"(0)x^{2}}/{2!} + ...\] so this is the formula, right ? are you having trouble with the finding derivatives?
Actually, I am trying to find something like: \[\frac{2k}{3^{k}} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a(n)\] Then find a(n) in terms of n.
Exactly, that is why you do the Taylor series. Once you expand it, you may see a pattern in the Taylor Series which could give you the nth term.
So I cannot just convert all equations to summations easily like how I could manipulate equations that can turn into the geometry series format and then instantly get its summation series?
For the easy ones, yes. For example the reason you know why 1/(1-x) = 1+x+x^2+... is because the geometric series adds up to a sum (1-x^(n-1))/(1-x) when you are adding n terms. When |x| < 1, what happens is that the x^(n-1) term almost equals to 0 when n is arbitrarily big. so it ends up being 1/(1-x). What's interesting is that when you do the Taylor expansion of 1/(1-x), you will get the same result 1+x+x^2+... so if there is an unusual function, you have to just find out what the pattern of the expansion is on each term and find a formula a(n) for it. Once you have done that, then all you have to do is to add it up which is as same as putting it inside the sigma.
If you want to trust my calculation, then I got the first 5 derivatives for you. So that the Taylor expansion looks like this 2x/3^x = \[f(0) + f'(0) x + f"(0) x^{2}/2! + f ^{(3)}(0)x^{3}/3!+...\] = \[0 + 2/3x + -4\ln3/3x^{2}/2! + 2\ln^{2}x^{3}/3! + 0 + -2\ln^{4}/3x^{5}/5! + 4\ln^{5}3/3x^{6}/6! + ...\] I hope this helps.
woops, I did not type some 3s. it should be \[\ln^{2}3\] and \[\ln^{5}3\]
wow...thanks!! I will try with this method and come back to here again. thank you so much, yuki!
is there no manual way of calculating the 2nd and 3 derivatives ....i think if you try that with the taylor series exp

Norway's Alexander Kristoff beat Peter Sagan in a sprint to win the 12th stage of the Tour de France, a 185.5km ride from Bourg en Bresse.
Katusha ride Kristoff timed his effort perfectly to win with a comfortable margin to leave Slovakian Sagan, who looks set to win the green jersey for points classification, still without a win on the Tour this year.
French champion Arnaud Demare took third place and Italian Vincenzo Nibali retained the overall leader's yellow jersey.
A five-man breakaway was reduced to four when Spain's David de la Cruz went down hard on a bend and pulled out with a suspected broken collarbone.
Then they were just two, Dutchman Sebastian Langeveld and Simon Clarke of Australia on their own ahead of a bunch led by Europcar and Giant-Shimano who were looking to set up their sprinters for the finale.
Europcar played another card, however, with Frenchmen Perrig Quemeneur and Cyril Gauthier attacking to join Clarke after the Australian had shaken off Langeveld.
But the peloton led by Giant-Shimano reined them in with a few kilometres left.
