I've been a member of the United Church of God for 21 years. I moved to Raleigh about 10 years ago and have been greatly blessed with fellowship and instruction. Now I'm the pastor of the congregation... so my review may been biased. But if you are looking for a 7th day Sabbath keeping congregation in the area this is a good option to explore.

The Triangle Center for Spiritual Living teaches a Science of Mind philosophy that really makes a difference in my life. The classes and community activities are also wonderful. Rev. Dusty Rippelmeyer and Rev. Bill Turner are AWESOME -- full of love, fun, and wisdom! I love that we honor the threads of truth of all faiths.
This is a wonderful church. The people are friendly and welcoming. They have an awesome children and teen ministry. The pastors are down to earth and extremely personable. Most importantly they have a teaching ministry and have a Bible study where you are invited to ask questions. I love it!

Alliance Data Systems, a provider of marketing, loyalty and transaction services, celebrated the opening of its new call center facility in Ennis, Texas, today with a ribbon cutting ceremony that was attended by company and city officials. The new "best in class" facility, which started operating in March, already has 225 employees and the company reportedly plans to hire an additional 355 over the next three to five years. It has reportedly already handled 40,000 calls since it opened just three months ago. The opening of the new call center was a joint effort between Alliance Data and the city of Ennis. During the ceremony, Mayor Russell Thomas and City Manager Steve Howerton were recognized for their efforts in assisting Alliance with the opening of the new center. A report in the online version of the Waxahachie Daily Light doesn't mention anything about a tax incentive. Officials from Alliance's top client, Direct Energy, were reportedly also on hand for the celebration.
United Kingdom antitrust regulators today cleared Verint Systems' $950 million purchase of Witness Systems Inc., citing that the deal will not result in a "substantial lessening of competition within a market or markets" within the UK. Verint is a leading maker of call recording and speech/data analytics solutions, while Witness is a purveyor of workforce management, quality monitoring/recording, back office, IP telephony, customer feedback and eLearning solutions. Verint's acquisition of Witness officially closed on May 29. Together the two companies offer the broadest portfolio of software solutions for the contact center and enterprise performance market. With more than 2,500 employees spread across 18 countries worldwide, the new company will be among the 30 largest software companies in the world. It will boast more than 5,000 customers in 60 different counties, including many Fortune 100 companies. Earlier today, TMCnet had the opportunity to do a brief phone interview with Ryan Hollenbeck, VP of global marketing for Verint's new division, Witness Actionable Solutions. He discussed some of the details of the merger and where the combined company is heading from here. "So as of last week we are officially closed and one company, so good news there," Hollenbeck said enthusiastically.
Hi, I'm Pat and this is my call center blog. It's all about call and contact center technology and how it makes life better for all of us … or not. At times I might address other topics that are either directly or indirectly related to the call and contact center industry - such as CRM, speech technologies, VoIP, unified communications, wireless technologies, video, workforce management, headsets, call center furniture, etc. - and how these make life better for all of us … or not. I might also occasionally discuss how technology in general makes life better for all of us … or not. So what makes me qualified to write about call and contact center technology, you might ask? Well, for one thing I'm a journalist with about 15 years experience contributing to various publications.

Parental divorce linked to health worries in adult life
Washington: People who experience parental divorce during childhood have higher levels of an inflammatory marker in the blood which is known to predict future health, according to new research from University College London (UCL).
The study from UCL found that children who experienced the breakdown in their parent`s relationship before the age of 16, regardless of whether their parents were married or not, had 16 percent higher levels of C-reactive protein at age 44.
C-reactive protein is a marker of inflammation measured in blood samples.
Long-term raised C-reactive protein is a known risk factor for diseases such as coronary heart disease and type II diabetes.
This study is based on data from 7,462 people in the 1958 National Child Development Study, an on-going longitudinal study which has followed a large group of people since their birth in 1958.
The authors also looked at why this relationship might exist.
They found that the relationship between parental divorce and later inflammation was mainly explained by adolescent material disadvantage and educational attainment, although the specific mechanisms remain unclear.
In particular, those who experienced parental separation before the age of 16 were more likely to be materially disadvantaged in adolescence and had lower educational qualifications by adulthood, compared to children who grew up with both parents.
Dr Rebecca Lacey, Research Associate in the UCL Department of Epidemiology and Public Health and lead author of the study, said: "Our study suggests that it is not parental divorce or separation per se which increases the risk of later inflammation but that it is other social disadvantages, such as how well the child does in education, which are triggered by having experienced parental divorce which are important".
The study is published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

Award Abstract #1156789
REU Site: Operation ETank: Moving Toward a Sustainable World
The goal of this REU project is to operate an interdisciplinary research-based think tank (i.e., Operation ETank) to engage undergraduates on perspectives of sustainability with individual expertise in environment, energy, economy, and ethics. To accomplish this goal, students spend eight weeks conducting research with scientists on environment and energy issues, participating in weekly seminars and collaborative activities where sustainability will be viewed through the lens of ethics and the economy, and being introduced to issues related to personal development as a research scientist. At the end of Operation ETank, students make poster presentations of their results to their peers and are expected to provide a draft of a manuscript that could be submitted to a refereed journal for review. The recruitment efforts are targeted toward students from underrepresented groups in science through partnerships with regional educational institutions. Expected outcomes from participation in Operation ETank include a greater understanding of the complexity associated with sustainability issues, an ability to initiate, complete and communicate results from a research project, and to collaborate with peers and scientists on various research-related activities.Intellectual Merit: Students participating in Operation ETank get hands-on research experience with faculty mentors on complex research problems. Results from their efforts are expected to advance what is understood as it relates to environmental and energy sustainability. Individual projects are enhanced through collaborative experiences. Students are expected to investigate what they learn about other disciplines related to the research projects they undertake with faculty mentors.Broader Impacts: A primary objective of Operation ETank is to prepare the next generation of interdisciplinary practitioners in the area of sustainability. Through research training and personal development student participants will be provided with the practical and intellectual tools to tackle pertinent issues and current problems from the holistic perspective of the 4 Es (energy, environment, ethics, and economy). Every student activity planned for the 8-week period is related to the identified outcomes (i.e., research design, effective written and oral communication, critical thinking, collaboration with others, etc.) associated with Operation ETank. Although student projects focus primarily on environmental and energy sustainability, other issues related to ethics and economy are integrated into the broader sustainability discussion. The goal is to introduce students to the use of basic research skills and tools that help prepare them for future scientific endeavors including graduate school. Having them develop an understanding that most scientific issues involve great complexity and results that are often uncertain greatly enhance their ability to communicate research results to a broader audience.

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
Dubai's real estate watchdog is calling for more home owners to come forward in order to formally register their interim owners' associations (IOAs).
The hold up in registering hundreds of IOAs in the emirate stems from difficulties bringing homeowners together for a compulsory meeting, RERA has said.
"[In order to get registered] they have to call for a general assembly meeting, and the majority [of the homeowners] should be there," Marwan bin Ghalaita, CEO of RERA told Arabian Business on the sidelines of a Dubai conference.
"Sometimes the developer themselves own some of the property, so they would also need to be there. But it is very difficult to call all the owners into a meeting. It's up to them. We are ready."
Under strata law, a developer must hold a meeting known as the First Annual General Assembly in order to register a building's OA with the emirate's land department. For the registration to be approved, it must be passed by at least two thirds of the building's owners.
Once registered, OAs are entitled to manage the maintenance budgets and contracts of their properties.
Approximately 400 home owners associations have now obtained interim status, Ghalaita said, but are still waiting to become formally registered entities who can oversee their building's upkeep.
Without registration, OAs have no legal standing, meaning they are unable to open a bank account, pay bills or hire contractors to oversee building maintenance.
Lawyers say the lack of registration is leaving home owners and developers in legal limbo, sparking rows over service fees and a decline in building maintenance quality.
In projects such as Nakheel's Discovery Gardens and the Palm Jumeirah, default rates on service charges among homeowners are estimated to be as high as 50 percent.
"It's a no-man's land," Brent Baldwin, an associate at Dubai's Hadef & Partners told Arabian Business previously.
"Some developers want to get out and they're trying to leave the owners to it. But [until registered] owners don't have the legal status to do it so they need the developer to be involved."
Nick Clayson, a partner at the Dubai branch of law firm Norton Rose, said it is in everyone's interest to get owners associations registered as quickly as possible.
"Many buildings have not yet registered an OA or completed the formalities for creating the OA, so developers who have provided services and complied with their obligations may find difficulties in recovering the necessary service fees.
"Additionally many developers consider that they are owed outstanding service fees for the period prior to the promulgation of the Strata Laws."

About this design:
I received my LB order and had this design in mind---so couldn't wait to get it going! I just love all the colors in this one.
Components:All from LB--TOHO 11/0 seedbeads in mudbrick, citrus spritz, opaque Picasso II hybrid, silver-lined olivine and gold tulip beadcaps. Also, TOHO antique gold 11/0 seedbeads, handmade PC rings and small charm, antique gold leaf toggle clasp and Nymo Size D thread in ash.
Read the comments (or add your own)
I like EVERYTHING about this. The beadwork pattern is intriguing; the eye keeps going over and over it to take in the richness. The clasp is in an excellent place, and the little tag thingy keeps the top of the necklace from being too regular. The chain is just the right size, and the bead caps are extra pretty. My favorite element is the rings at the bottom. I have rings I've never used because I couldn't figure out where to put them. Here, they add focus and pull all the colors together. Great job!
Oh wow! I think this is my favorite so far! I love the colors and pattern, especially the mix at the top. The rings are fabulous! They just draw the eye and accentuate the colors and pattern perfectly!
Fabulous design and excellent work!!
This is just beautiful, love it all!!!
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments. I have had a time lately trying to upload pics and narratives on here. I wanted to add another pic to this, as the scan washed out the colors, but for some reason, LB won't upload it! They are darker and richer than pictured, and the rings colors are darker as well. Maybe one of these days I'll get a new digital camera! LOL
P.S.–I just noticed the text that I originally uploaded is missing now! I have NO idea what is going on–must be LB gremlins! LOL
N4B- I saw your text earlier so it was there, at least for a little while There must be website issues. Your picture issue might be part of it. Mine looked so much better on my laptop than they did once they were uploaded.
Love the colors and pattern in this one, the rings are perfect! Beautiful!
Love it
Gorgeous fall colors. Love the design of the beads. This is another technique I want to learn someday.
This is a stunning piece!
This one is especially pretty. Love the bead pattern and the rings.

Pentax Optio S1
Looking for an inexpensive bauble with which to turn heads every time you take a snap? Photography stalwart Pentax is better known for practicality than trend setting, yet recent(ish) pocket snapshots including the Optio I-10 and RS1000 have bucked that expectation with cool retro styling and funky swappable faceplates respectively. Pentax, it appears, is suggesting that yes you can have style on a budget.
The "gimmick" with the new Optio S1 - another inexpensive point-and-shooter at around £120 - is that our review sample sports a fully chrome outer shell with snazzy laser etched logo. It's mirrored, so that you can see your face in it from just about every angle, making it an ideal aid to self-portraiture. If classy toaster manufacturer Dualit made cameras, they might look a lot like the Pentax Optio S1. Glossy black or aquamarine coloured versions are additionally available.
While the reflective surfaces look fantastic, they also inevitably mean that the S1 quickly becomes smudged with fingerprints, so you'll be constantly wiping it clean. Width and height of the S1 are roughly similar to that of a business card, with a depth of 20mm, so thisPentax pocket rocket will slot easily into trouser or handbag. It weighs 126g when loaded with supplied rechargeable battery and optional media card - here a choice of SD, SDHC or SDXC. Battery life is rather underpowered however with just 180 shots provided by a full charge of the tiny rechargeable D-L178 lithium ion cell.
Still, give the top plate power button a press and the S1 is fast to respond, its lens shooting outwards from the body and rear LCD blinking into life with a happy "chirp". You're ready for the first shot (or 1280 x 720 HD video) in around 2 seconds, which isn't bad.
Headline features are an equally respectable 14-megapixel resolution from a 1/2.3-inch CCD wedded to a 5x optical zoom starting out at a wide angle 28mm in 35mm film terms and winding up at 140mm, retracted within the body when not in use. Pictures and HD video at 30 frames per second (which gets its own record button at the back), backed up by sensor shift image stabilisation, are composed with the assistance of a regular 4:3 aspect ratio 2.7-inch back screen, which, although being almost small by current standards boasts the standard 230k-dot resolution.
Being an auto everything snapshot model, also featuring is a heavy degree of hand holding in the shape of face recognition, smile capture (shutter fires when a grin is detected), blink detection plus 22 scene modes with the usual bias toward portraits and landscapes. Give the shutter release a squeeze and with contrast detection AF deployed, there's a brief wait whilst focus visibly adjusts and the AF point appears highlighted in green. Take the shot and a full resolution image is committed to card or small internal memory in around 2 seconds - which again isn't bad for the entry-level price tag here.
Also found among the modes (a feature of the four-way command pad rather than being presented as a separate dial or button) are the default Auto Picture mode, which reportedly "recognises" up to 14 common scenes and subjects, plus regular Program Auto. We say "reportedly" because in our experience the Pentax's default Auto Picture mode was a little more hit and miss than competing smart auto modes. The S1 was easily confused by busier scenes into opting for, to take one example, a close up setting when landscape would have been more befitting. The result: an entirely blurred frame. OK, so you can simply recompose the frame and try again, but the original "moment" will have been missed.
Including a top light sensitivity setting of ISO 6400 also seems to have been a little ambitious here. Images taken above ISO 1600 are just awful in appearance. To get the negatives out of the way in one go, it was also a let down that the 5x optical zoom could not be accessed in video mode. Instead we get a digital alternative that visibly and progressively crops in as you nudge the zoom lever; sophisticated it ain't. Also, there's a wait of a second or two between pressing the video record button and recording actually commencing - again, you can easily lose the moment.
Easing some of the hurt the S1 features a couple of fun digital effects modes in the now ubiquitous miniature and HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode - the former reducing the proportion of the image in focus to a narrow band (unusually, you can specify middle, bottom or top of frame), while the latter produces a weirdly coloured sketch-like effect verging on the "so bad it's good". As a default the colours are rather overly saturated - and though we did in fairness manage a handful of "keepers", this was only by taking a lot of shots which we then whittled down.
There's not much to the Pentax Optio S1; it's your average, easy to use "auto everything" £100 pocket snapper disguised as the chrome domed Silver Surfer. Ironically, this flash exterior led us to unwisely hope for a much better performance when it came to still images and video than the S1 delivered, so the overall disappointment was that much greater. No doubt street prices will be cheaper still, which means that the S1 may be better viewed as a camera with gifting potential, or one for the kids to muck about with. Full marks for the design, performance must try harder.

WARNING: Fake Hoya filters from eBay seller hkdirect
Ah. I have both UV(C) and UV(0) filters, purchased from US dealers. Well, both of them have a matt finish, UV(C) is made in Philippines and UV(0) is made in Japan.
The reply I got from the Hoya distributor in Australia is that there are products which do not have a country of origin on the box. He did not say anything about the printing on the filter. Neither did he respond to the email which I asked about the "glossy" finish.
I have many older Hoya filters and none of them have a glossy finish.
It does not make any sense that a filter designed to reduce flare and reflections(from the filter) will use a glossy finish. What is the point of the multi-coated optics, high light transmission etc then?
As for the B+W filter, I feel that it is genuine but it is definitely not Brand New. The reply from B+W:
Hope this helps anybody who is unsure whether their filter is genuine or not.
And also, as a feedback for this particular eBay seller.

A look at the legacy of "Independence Day," as reflected in films that tried to top it, including its sequel.
"Pups" looks ragged and slammed-together, but that's part of its appeal; the film has a wildness that more care would have killed. It's about a bank robbery and hostage crisis involving a 13-year-old and his girlfriend. Why this bank? "It was on the way to school." The kids, named Stevie and Rocky, are played by Cameron Van Hoy and Mischa Barton in two of the most natural and freed performances I have seen by actors of any age. There is an unhinged quality about Van Hoy's acting; he waves his mother's loaded gun while ordering around the adults he's found in the bank, and although we know his character got his lines by watching TV, his energy level is awesome. He pumps out words and postures, flailing his arms, jazzed by the experience, implying a whole childhood in the way he seizes this power.
Van Hoy is a newcomer. Barton, who plays his girlfriend, has a lot of professional experience, but must never have found a role like this before. You can sense her exhilaration as she behaves the way a 13-year-old girl would behave--not dampened down by a conventional screenplay. Often Van Hoy and Barton waltz through long takes, working without the net of editing.
The movie is persuasive in the way it shows the steps leading to their absurd decision to rob a bank. Stevie begins by videotaping a fake suicide message, shouting "final warnings" to a mother who, we learn, is out of town on business. Then he finds her loaded gun. His girlfriend Rocky comes over, he accidentally fires the gun, they are impressed and then they head for school--at one point interrupting the trip to lie down in the street. The street scene isn't played for phony suspense; a guy in an SUV drives by and tells them that they're jerks.
Stevie has brought along the gun. On an impulse, he walks into a bank and announces a stickup. Rocky tells him he's crazy, but eventually she joins him (what's a girlfriend for?). We meet some of the staff and customers, including an angry guy in a wheelchair (Adam Ferrar) who eggs them on; a bank manager (David Allen Graf) who can't believe this is happening to him, and a customer (Darling Narita) who sneaks puffs on a joint.
Burt Reynolds plays the FBI agent in charge of the force surrounding the bank. It is not a distinguished performance, and one of its peculiarities (the screenplay's fault?) is that instead of using psychological insights in negotiating with the kid, he simply shouts threats, profanities and insults over the phone. Maybe Reynolds has been saving up those lines ever since he played the cop with the pint-sized sidekick in "Cop And A Half." The details of the FBI siege are unconvincing, and an encounter between Rocky and her father rings false, but I think you have to buy the movie's flaws as the price of its anarchic freedom. The stories of the hostages are all loose ends--but then, they would be. "Pups" doesn't make everyone inside the bank into instant friends, but keeps them as strangers who puzzle one another. Orchestrating everything are the two kids, improvising their strategy as they go along.
At one point, having ordered pizzas, the kids think of another demand. "We could be on MTV," Rocky says, thinking of "The Real World." "You know--like six strangers meet in a bank and are forced to live together." MTV personality Kurt Loder, playing himself, shows up, and his interview with the kids is the heart of the film. He asks them about sex. Stevie says, "I love her--we're gonna get married on the Internet." Loder is from MTV, all right: "You'll be divorced by 15, and back on the market." "Pups" is the second film by Ash, a British director whose "Bang" (1997) starred Narita as an actress who is molested by a cop, handcuffs him, steals his uniform and spends the day on his motorcycle experiencing how this borrowed identity gives her power and unexpected responsibilities. That movie was shot guerrilla-style for $25,000 and has an eerie power; this one cost a little more, but it was shot in two weeks and has the same feeling that it's running free. Ash's films are unpolished but involving and untamed.
So much depends on the performances. If instead of Van Hoy and Barton the movie had starred safer or more circumspect actors, the energy would have flagged and the flaws of the quick production would have been more of a problem. As it is, "Pups" is a kind of headlong rush toward doom.
"The only way to get us out of here is to carry us out in a box," Stevie boasts, using a line he learned from TV. But the FBI won't shoot 13-year-olds, will it?
The new "Ghostbusters" film brings a battle between distorted nostalgia and the power of a child's imagination.

Secrets of Success
Busy day
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
Had a busy morning . . . then invited to meet in town for lunch with 'the girls' (friends of my 83 year old neighbor). That was fun . . . lots of good laughs.
Usually I'll eat at Subway because I can track what I eat . . . but they met at our mexican restaurant. So I ordered a taco salad. Didn't eat the shell or chips (MAJOR NSV RIGHT THERE!!! cos used to be, I would have a main course of chips & salsa along with my meal!!!!) But as I ate my salad, I guestimated the amount of the ingredients and tracked it that way. Best I could do.
Then I took care of some errands, and got home a few minutes go. Have to leave again in 15 minutes for another meeting. Our Neighborhood Watch group is meeting with the Fire Department to discuss what has already started out as a bad fire season.
And, if that's not bad enough, we have a maniac arsonist running around our little town who already burned down our Post Office and two other businesses - three separate incidents.
Shoulder is better today. Have done a couple relaxation sessions which seems to be helping with the pain & tension.
Hope everyone is having a successful day!

An arsonist running around, good grief! I hope they catch that person soon!
That was quite a day and yahoo for you skipping the chips. I am the same way, I used to eat so many chips with salsa that I was just about full when my larger portion of taquitos, rice and guac came. But I'd finish all that too with my margarita!
I have been much smarter the last two times we went for Mexican. We have the power!

YUP, some days are just like that. I started my day at 8 a.m. meeting the electrician at my dad's. We went out to breakfast while he worked. We ate at a restaurant in town that is very popular for it's good all hand made food. The lines can be 45 - 60 minute waits. We got right in but there was a line forming as we left. Dropped my dad off and headed home to pull maple leaf whirly-bird things. I might get done pulling them by the end of the summer there are so many ! Now taking a break watching the world go by on my front porch with my dog & a beer before I head to my eye appointment. Then home to start a pork roast for supper before I head out the door again for Hula Hooping class. See. I told you so. Some days are just like that

An arsonist? Eek! That's scary. Hope you guys catch him before someone gets hurt. It's bad enough that you lost your post office...and three incidents in a small town makes a huge impact. You did great with the chips....I always have to count them out or I just mindlessly keep eating them....don't know if I could avoid them altogether if they're in front of me. You sound upbeat...very good!

KIGALI, RWANDA and MENLO PARK, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/12/13 -- Carnegie Mellon University in Rwanda ("CMU-R") has been awarded a grant from Ricoh Innovations, Inc. ("RII") to advance research on information and communication technology ("ICT") for healthcare in developing countries. RII is a Silicon Valley-based subsidiary of Ricoh Company, Ltd, the leading provider of digital office solutions, and develops innovative technologies and new business opportunities for Ricoh. CMU-R is a collaboration between Carnegie Mellon University and the Government of Rwanda to build ICT capacity in Rwanda and throughout East Africa through graduate education and research. In partnership with the Government of Rwanda, it is the first U.S. research institution to offer engineering graduate degrees in Africa.
The unrestricted grant will be used to support the research of CMU-R's Assistant Professor Hedda Schmidtke and Scholar-in-Residence Suzana Brown in the area of ICT for healthcare. CMU-R has identified ICT for healthcare as a principal research thrust because of the profound impact that advances in this sector can have in developing countries. Creative innovations that address the needs of developing countries have the potential for significant impact because of the growing demands on limited, expensive medical resources.
"We are delighted to receive this grant from RII," stated Bruce Krogh, director of CMU-R. "It makes it possible for our faculty and students to launch new research into ICT innovations that will significantly improve healthcare in developing countries like Rwanda, particularly through the use of mobile technology."
In February 2012, RII established a subsidiary in Bangalore, India to combine market-oriented technology development with regionally optimized research to pioneer new business tailored for emerging countries throughout the world. Ricoh also recently announced its financial endowment and industry partnership for the creation of a design and innovation center at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar.
"We are proud to support this important research in Rwanda," stated Dr. Nikhil Balram, president and CEO of RII. "RII is working to advance Open Innovation in emerging countries through collaboration between industry and researchers, yielding both technological and academic advances. The research carried out at CMU-R has the potential to improve the way healthcare is delivered not only in Rwanda, but throughout the world."
CMU-R plays a significant role in the Government of Rwanda's vision to create a regional Information and Communication Technology ("ICT") Center of Excellence in Kigali, and to establish ICT as a major component of a knowledge-based economy. CMU-R began offering the Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) program in August 2012, and is currently accepting applications for admission to the MSIT program in August 2013.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.
