There is a dangerous myth circulating around the Net that Mitt Romney lost because he was not "conservative enough", that millions of Republican voters supposedly stayed home on Election Day, and that the way to win future elections is to nominate "the most conservative candidate". Any GOP problems with women, youngsters, and minorities are being explained away by claiming that ...Read More »

Vindication for Romney? Jeeps to Be Built in China Come 2014.
In case you've forgotten last Fall's election (and, really, who can blame you if you've wanted to), Mitt Romney was called a liar for nearly every statement he made, this one included. Last October, the former governor from Massachusetts said he'd read a story claiming that Chrysler might move production of Jeeps from the U.S. to China. At the time, ...Read More »
It's Never Enough: Why the American Left Won't Stop Until It Has Ruined Everything
Such as it is that most leftists do not realize that the freedoms they have so vocally and stridently advocated for so long — the social freedom to say and do whatever you want, and the economic freedom to avoid meaningful employment — are about to be obliterated. The useful idiots will be astounded to find themselves in a full-fledged ...Read More »
Republicans Advocate Surrender After Defeat
Evidently Romney campaign consultants were paying way too much attention to Michelle Obama's War on Cafeteria Lunch Ladies. Consequently, when her husband offered a campaign built around Bread & Circuses; they countered with healthy eating and free–range elephants. A role reversal that proved fatal. More than once I've heard discouraged conservatives complain that ignorant voters were responsible for re–electing Obama, ...Read More »
America You Really Blew It
America had the perfect opportunity to turn this country around and get it back on the road to prosperity, but America, you blew it. We had standing in front of us, the perfect man to get us out of the situation we find ourselves in. A leader, a successful businessman, a successful Governor, a good man, an honest man, a ...Read More »
The GOP Got Punk'd
It's over. So far, I have seen the media, libertarians and independent voters, fraud, and liberal thuggery blamed for the GOP loss last night. None of these, individually or collectively, is to blame for the fact that Obama was re-elected. The blame lies in our own inability to combat the culture of dependency and present a vision that combats the ...Read More »
One Last Word to the Troops Before the Election
As President Obama ends his bitter and petty campaign of character assassination against his challenger Mitt Romney, one is struck by just how low the lofty orator has fallen from his 2008 bid. The erstwhile freshman Senator rode into office on a wave of disingenuous half-truths and outright lies promising "hope and change." But at least Obama sounded vaguely optimistic ...Read More »
For Love of Country
Speaking in Springfield Ohio, Barack Obama mentioned Mitt Romney. As soon as he mentioned Romney's name, the crowd began to boo. Obama responded, "No, no, no. Don't boo, vote. Voting is the best revenge." Mitt Romney questioned the President's rhetoric at a campaign stop in New Hampshire. "Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I'd like to tell you: ...Read More »
Chocolate-Covered Pretzels
It can be argued that one of the most important and treasured cultural aspects in the Black community is our faith. We are overwhelmingly Christian. The church has played a key role in our cultural and spiritual development almost from the time our ancestors were first dragged here in chains. At times, God and His church were all Black Americans ...Read More »
Four More Days
In the latest jobs report, American unemployment rose to 7.9 percent. The unemployed number increased by 170,000, to 12.3 million. That rate is higher than the day Barack Obama took office. Were workers unemployed long enough to have been dropped from Labor Department statistics added back in, the rate of unemployment would be closer to 14 percent. According to Keith ...Read More »
Still Undecided? Maybe This Will Help.
I do not understand how anyone can be undecided at this stage of the game.

Romney Rising
In Ohio, voting machines are changing a vote cast for Mitt Romney to Barack Obama. Maybe that is what the "progressive" Democratic Party needs to combat lower voter turnout for the Democratic ticket.

On this team are two athletes who have overcome enormous adversity. Because Ghassan Katayand and his team mate Ahmed Asfour are political refugees. Ghassan Katayan was born in Lebanon in 1992. His father abandoned his family leaving Ghassan's mother to raise five children on her own. In 2000, during the war in Lebanon, a bomb crushed into Ghassan's house and his sister lost her two legs. Ghassan's mother, Ms Wusun, took the whole family to ask for political asylum in Cyprus. Ahmed Asfour is the first child of an Iraq family who fled to Cyprus to find a better life. Participating in Special Olympics in Cyprus helped both families build a network of support. Both boys now attend special schools and train often.

For collection of sewage, effluent, drainage and seepage water. Most commonly used in basements or cellars, but are also suitable for split level houses where terrain issues create drainage problems. These IAPMO listed units are pre-assembled and ready to be installed. These units are available with high-performance 4/10 or 1/2 HP sewage pumps both of which can handle liquids and solid waste materials up to 2" diameter. Pit Plus systems are equipped with a 16-bolt steel cover, a 2-inch schedule 80 PVC discharge and check valve, corrosion resistant bolt-on flange, and two-piece structural foam cover. The split cover allows the vent pipe to be removed without pulling the pump from the basin unit. Package includes: 20" x 30" polyethylene basin with ribs for added strength. High water alarms can be purchased separately.
IAPMO Approved PitPlus™ with Steel 1-piece Cover - 16 bolts
Sewage Basin Packages have a two-week lead-time to ship from the manufacturer.
Due to the size and/or weight, these basin units do not qualify for 2nd day shipping.
These pre-assembled sewage basin packages are completely ASSEMBLED and ready for installation. Each sewage basin package includes: One 24" x 30" polyethylene basin with 4" external inlet hub. One 4/10 or one 1/2 HP UL/CSA listed automatic sewage pump. One schedule 80 PVC discharge pipe with a structural foam cosmetic cover, as well as separate pump and switch access covers. Sewage basin packages do not include a check valve or ball/check valve and must be ordered separately. Some select basin packages include alarms. Alarms can be purchased separately for those packages not showing an alarm is included.
PitPlus™ Packages - Separate Pump and Switch Access CoversMolded-in recessed discharge and vent ports
Optional Check Valves
The HWAB mounts indoors and will sound the built-in alarm horn (87 decibles at 10') and illuminate an LED red warning light when a high water level is detected in the basin. When the high water condition is cleared, the alarm will automatically reset. The HWAB includes a NEMA 1 thermoplastic enclosure designed for easy installation and a non-corrosive plastic float swith for use in liquids up to 140° F. To reduce the possibility of shock, the mechanical float switch operates on low voltage, isolated from the 120 volt AC power feed. The battery backup feature ensures the alarm system will work should the primary power fail and is powered by a 9 volt DC battery not included. Be sure and follow all of the manufacturer's directions and instructions and performing the proper maintenance and inspections required to ensure that you are fully protected from flooding. Especially important with man-made safety devices as they will eventually fail.
HWAB Indoor High Water Alarm = $119.44
Peace of mind is what you want and is what you receive with this Outdoor/Indoor high water alarm. This tough NEMA type 3R enclosure is designed to protect against heavy rain, external ice and is rust resistant. A red warning beacon light and an 82 decibel horn sounds to grab your attention when a high water level condition exists in the pump basin. Install on a separte circuit than the pump and the alarm will operate even if the pump circuit fails.
303HWXT Indoor/Outdoor High Water Alarm 115v = $199.84
Q. "Do I need to install a vent pipe to the tank?"
A. It really depends on how you plumb the piping to the tank and each situation is different. In many cases with any brand of sealed tank the simple answer is yes as you need air to displace the volume of discharge. An AAV may be used in many areas of the country but local codes always prevail and so best to check with your local code authorities before purchasing the enclosed tank system/s such as these shown on this page.

Before you buy Culligan water from any outlet, especially Zellars, please get all the information you need. Always keep all your reciepts, because heaven forbid if you need to return the empty bottles without a reciept. All Zellars will give you back is a gift card.
Zellars sent me to Sobeys, saying they took back the bottles without a reciept. That is a negative!!! Sobeys, Save-On Foods, Safeway, not even CULLIGAN will take back my empty 18 ltr bottles without a reciept.
Generally I do not keep reciepts for something so trivial, but, had I been told to keep my reciepts if I thought I might need my $10.00 deposit back, I probably would have, but at the time of purchase no one informed me that I would need a reciept to do so.
This is the biggest ripoff I have ever heard of. First of all to charge $10.00 for a deposit and have the balls to NOT give back the $10.00 is huge, and when Culligan will not even take back their own bottles and honor the $10.00 deposit, is even more of a irritant. So, consequently, I will not get my money back, because I have no reciepts, so I just flushed $40.00 down the toilet, which I can really afford to do these days... NOT!!!
Thank You Zellars for nothing. I'm glad you are turning into Target. Maybe we can get some respect for our patronage. And also, Thank You Culligan for being the biggest ripoff company I know of.

A numerical simulation method for the laser‐induced temperature distribution65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343265View Description Hide Description
A numerical simulation approach for the evaluation of temperature distribution in a substrate during the laser processing is developed. The explicit finite‐difference solution of the heat (diffusion) equation is chosen as the starting point in order to simply retain general nonlinearity, physical transparency, and flexibility of the procedure. The method is tested with a simulation of silicon substrate irradiated by cw argon laser, and the results are compared with those from experiments and exact analytical results, where available. Deficiences due to the omission of the nonlinearity, i.e., the temperature dependency of the material properties, in the results of approximative analytical approaches are discussed.
Digital image analysis of droplet patterns in polymer systems: Point pattern65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343266View Description Hide Description
New techniques of digital image analysis which are especially suitable for analyzing particle‐distribution patterns are presented. Statistical mathematical methods are applied to the quantitative analysis of a spatial distribution of points in polymer systems. The techniques are useful for studying the spatial patterns of particles or droplets which are commonly observed in nucleation‐growth‐type phase separation and late‐stage spinodal decomposition in polymer mixtures, crystallization process, microphase separation in block copolymers, incompatible polymer alloys, and composite materials, etc. We can divide point patterns into three typical point patterns: the Poisson pattern, the clustered pattern, and the regular pattern. The kind and strength of interaction or force between points can be determined from spatial point‐distribution patterns. The point‐pattern analysis has been applied to phase‐separated structures of a polymer mixture, and it has been revealed that the pattern belongs to the regular pattern. The appearance of the regular pattern is probably a result of the Brownian coalescence mechanism for the droplet growth and it might also be due to a long‐range interaction among droplets through diffusion field.
Optical velocimetry correction in Fabry–Perot measurements taken through cylindrically expanding shocked fluids with no dispersion65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343267View Description Hide Description
A correction is needed in interpreting optical velocity measurements made by reflected frequency versus time measurements through cylindrically expanding air or fluids. The reflected frequency seen by the velocimeter will be higher than it would be in a planar geometry, even if the fluid obeys the Gladstone–Dale model for the index of refraction versus compression. This has been pointed out by Wackerle, Stacy, and Dallman [Proc. Int. Soc. Opt. Eng. 8 3 2, 72 (1987)], who develop a general Lagrangian treatment of one‐dimensional planar, cylindrical, and spherical geometries. Our work, developed independently, uses a different, very simple, and rigorous treatment for a special case of cylindrical geometry. It also provides physical insight into the processes that lead to this frequency change. The magnitude of the correction is very small for air, but for a realistic constant density versus radius model is about 5%–10% for fluids such as water, for cylindrically expanding shocks with radii of curvature near 3 cm.
Similarity transformations for decaying wall charge fields in a spherical shell65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343268View Description Hide Description
It is shown that ohmic dissipation of wall charges causes the electric field inside a spherical insulating shell to decay with a characteristic time constant, t 0 =2aηε0 , where η is the surfaceresistance of the shell, a is its radius, and ε0 is the permittivity of a vacuum. It is demonstrated that the electric potential inside the shell at time t can be constructed by means of similarity transformations which are generated by multiplying the initial charge densities by a factor f and lengths by f 2 where f=exp(−t/2t 0 ). Using this method the potential near the centers of oppositely charged disks of wall charge of radius b (b≪a) is calculated in terms of analytic expressions for the case where the externally applied field is absent. It is pointed out that the latter solution can be generalized to yield the potential distribution generated by small wall charge spots which have rotationally symmetric charge distributions. It is anticipated that the results will be useful for further studies of external electrode discharges in gases in insulating containers, Examples include low‐frequency electric fieldsensors and gas‐filled cavities in solid insulators.
Kelvin functions for determination of magnetic susceptibility in nonmagnetic metals65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343269View Description Hide Description
A method to calculate the real and imaginary parts of the magnetic permeability and susceptibility of nonmagnetic metals by using Kelvin functions is presented. The exact treatment is shown for the massive cylindrical geometry. An expression for a hollow circular cylinder is discussed and expanded to the thin‐shell limit.
Radiation losses in intersecting optical waveguides65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343246View Description Hide Description
A systematic theory for radiation losses in intersecting optical waveguides is presented for the first time. These losses are shown to arise from a coupling between guided and radiation fields of the individual waveguides. The existence of a doubly peaked radiation loss characteristic with respect to the intersection angle is predicted for single‐Δn intersecting waveguides and verified experimentally. A method for reducing the radiation losses by a simple modification of the intersection region is also discussed.
Collision broadening of optical gain in semiconductor lasers65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343247View Description Hide Description
The energy‐dependent intraband relaxation with polar‐optical‐phonon scattering is incorporated in the calculation of the linear gain and the refractive index change of the GaAs injection laser with an undoped active region. Comparison with the conventional model, which assumes a constant intraband relaxation, shows that it is difficult to fit the overall gain spectra exactly by single, energy‐independent intraband‐relaxation time. Moreover, the calculated gain spectra wth phonon broadening show strong temperature dependence due to the change of the relaxation time and the Fermi functions.
Calculation and measurement of initial electron densities in x‐ray preionized avalanche discharge lasers65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343248View Description Hide Description
The initial electron density in x‐ray preionized avalanche discharge lasers has been studied extensively. A computermodel has been developed to calculate this initial electron density taking into account the characteristics of the x‐ray source, x‐ray physics, and geometric effects. Results of these calculations were verified for various experimental conditions using an ionization chamber. The experimental data are in excellent agreement with the calculations. Results from this work may be directly applied in the design of x‐ray preionized gas lasers.
Beam focusing in semiconductor directional couplers with saturated gain65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343249View Description Hide Description
The beam focusing behavior in a semiconductor directional coupler with saturated gain is studied as a function of the antiguidance factor, injection current density, input power, and initial beam radius. When the antiguidance factor b=2, and the injection current density J=5×10− 5 A/μm2, the upper and lower limits of input power for the beam focusing effect of an injected Gaussian beam in the directional coupler structure considered in this paper to occur are 3.5 and 20 mW, respectively. Over this range of input power levels, the optically induced focusing beam radius shows a strong dependence on the antiguidance factor, injection current density, and initial beam radius. However, the input power is found to have a negligible effect on the focusing beam radius.
Power extraction study of an e‐beam‐pumped atmospheric pressure, Kr‐rich KrF laser amplifier65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343250View Description Hide Description
Single‐pass (50‐cm) amplification characteristics of a short‐pulse [65 ns full width half maximum (FWHM)] e‐beam‐pumped KrF laser amplifier with an atmospheric pressure Kr‐rich and Kr/F2 mixture were investigated theoretically for wide excitation rate from 0.1 to 2.0 MW/cm3. We have constructed a one‐dimensional propagation amplifiermodel which considers the gain depletion and the saturated absorptionspatially and temporally in the amplifying medium. With this numerical model, good agreement was obtained between the calculated result and the experiment. As a result of this theoretical study, extraction efficiencies of over 40% and power efficiencies of over 10% are obtainable at the highest output powers for all atmospheric mixtures containing 10%–99% Kr gas for excitation rates ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 MW/cm3 using a 30‐ns (FWHM) input laser pulse, indicating that high efficiency power extraction from an atmospheric pressure KrF laser amplifier is achievable.
Parametric investigation of the dirt spike generation in a pulsed metal vapor laser discharge65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343251View Description Hide Description
The generation of dirt spikes in the discharge of a clean pulsed metal vapor laser is measured under various operating conditions, such as a change in pulse repetition rates, laser tube temperatures, buffer gas pressures, and charging voltages. It is shown that the dirt spikes will increase in magnitude for such conditions that the pulse repetition rate decreases, the laser tube temperature decreases, and the buffer gas pressure increases. The ratio of the dirt spike to the charging voltage will also increase as the charging voltage decreases. All experimental results are well explained by theoretical analyses. These results lead to a number of useful suggestions for the operation of a pulsed metal vapor laser.
Ultrafast imaging of 0.532‐μm laser ablation of polymers: Time evolution of surface damage and blast wave generation65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343252View Description Hide Description
An ultrafast two‐color laser spectrometer with image acquisition capability is used to study surface ablation of a transparent polymer, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). Surface ablation was produced by 100‐ps, 0.532‐μm pulses and probed by 2‐ps, 0.570‐μm pulses. Computer‐digitized images were obtained over the time range 10−12 –100 s. The images were analyzed to obtain the time‐dependent behavior of the damaged solid, and the blast wave generated at the solid‐gas interface. Near the peak of the ablation pulse, self‐focusing begins and produces a small‐diameter filament lasting for 20 ps. The polymer irradiated by the filament then undergoes explosive thermal decomposition, ejecting particles from a conical volume into the atmosphere above the surface. This ablated matter produces a hemispherical, supersonic blast wave whose kinetic energy is one‐fourth of the ablation pulse energy. The evacuated pit produced in the polymer is very hot, and the surrounding solid softens and flows, resolidifying in about 1 s. A mechanism for the ablation process involving nonlinear absorption is proposed. The steeply rising envelope of the ablation pulse simultaneously increases the absorption coefficient and decreases the absorption length, resulting in a runaway heating process with a rate of ≊1013 K/s. The polymer is overheated far beyond the normal decomposition temperature. Thermal decomposition then proceeds with a large, negative free energy.
Multifrequency surface acoustic wave investigations of metal film percolation65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343429View Description Hide Description
Change of the sound velocity and the amplitude signal of surface acoustic waves(SAW) on LiNbO3 substrates has been measured as a function of frequency during the growth of metalfilms of Pb, Bi, and Au on the originally free‐crystal surface. Simultaneously, we recorded the conductivity of the films.SAW propagation is strongly perturbed in the percolation region where the films become conducting and mechanically connected. Aufilms on LiNbO3 show a new and yet unreported behavior: sound velocity and attenuation stay nearly constant over a film thickness range of ≊10 nm and conductivity is finite but low. For comparison we measured the change of sound velocity and amplitude of a SAW on a nonpiezoelectric glass substrate during the growth of a Pb film. Sound velocity is found to vary nonlinearly for a film thickness d<d c , d c corresponding to the onset of conductivity, and linearly for d>d c due to mass loading with increasing film thickness. No damping of the sound wave in the percolation region was observed. A new computerized ultrasonic system is described which made it possible to measure sound velocity and amplitude quasisimultaneously at up to three different frequencies.
A comprehensive analysis of surface acoustic wave reflections65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343253View Description Hide Description
A thorough study of the perturbative and variational approaches is carried out for the surface acoustic wave reflection problem. We have shown that the perturbation treatment by Datta and Hunsinger and potentially powerful variational formulation by Chen and Haus [IEEE Trans. Sonics Ultrason. S U ‐ 3 2, 395 (1985)] are mutually consistent. In their common region of validity, these two approaches yield nearly identical results for the reflection coefficients and velocity shifts due to metal finger and groove overlays. Term‐by‐term comparison of the mass‐ and stress‐loading effects, and also the electric shorting effect, is carried out to provide a coherent picture of the reflection phenomena. The on‐ and off‐resonance behavior of the reflection coefficient can be described correctly using either one of these theories, with proper inclusion of the overlay shape dependence. A new term for electric shorting is derived for groove overlays.
Plastic yielding at crack tips65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343254View Description Hide Description
Small‐scale plastic yielding at crack tips is studied by means of nonlocal elasticity. Plastic lines along the crack line of a mode III crack modeled by an array of dislocations. It is shown that plastic yield begins after a definite value of load as a consequence of nonlocality. The length of plastic zone and the dislocation distribution are determined as functions of the applied load. The results are in good agreement with experimental observations
Measurement of barium loss from a fluorescent lamp electrode by laser‐induced fluorescence65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343255View Description Hide Description
A laser‐induced fluorescence method for measuring the loss rate of barium from Ba‐Sr‐Ca oxide coated electrodes of low‐pressure discharge lamps is presented. The oxide coating from the electrodesurface is depleted during lamp operation. Using this technique, the Ba loss rate from an electrode, when it is acting both as a cathode and an anode during ac operation, was measured. A significantly larger amount of neutral barium is detected in the vicinity of the electrode when it acts as an anode over when it acts as a cathode. The consumption rate of Ba and hence the life of an oxide coating depends upon the phase of the lamp current, the shape, and the magnitude of the current supplied by the lamp ballast. The consumption rate for the coating increases linearly with the discharge current. A simplified theoretical analysis of the technique for a three‐level atomic system irradiated by a pulse laser beam is discussed.
Measurement of barium ion density in the vicinity of fluorescent lamp electrodes65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343256View Description Hide Description
A laser‐induced fluorescence technique for the detection and measurement of ionized barium atoms near the vicinity of an oxide‐coated electrode in a low‐pressure discharge lamp is presented. Ionized Ba atoms are produced by the ionization of neutral Ba atoms in the electrode fall region of the discharge. Radiation at 455.4 nm obtained from a pulsed dye laser was used to excite Ba ii from the ground state, 62 S 1 / 2, to the resonance level, 62 P 3 / 2, and the fluorescenceradiation at 614.2 nm for the 62 P 3 / 2→52 D 5 / 2 transition was measured. The number density of Ba ii atoms as determined from the measured intensity of the fluorescence signal (614.2 nm) is dependent on the discharge current, and the polarity of the neighboring electrode. It is found to be larger when it is acting as an anode than when it is a cathode.
Laser‐induced ablation pressure in thin gold foils65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343257View Description Hide Description
A study of the variation of the effective ablationpressure with thickness of laser irradiated thin gold foils is presented. Gold foils (2.5 and 12.0 μm thick) were irradiated by a glass laser (1.06 μm wavelength, 5‐ns pulse duration) in 101 1–101 3 W/cm2irradiance range. Ablationpressure and its scaling is found to be higher for the 12‐μm‐thick gold target. The results are consistent with other results obtained on the basis of enhanced x‐ray transmission through thin gold foils. Theoretical estimates of the x‐ray transport are carried out to support this.
Decay instability of an upper‐hybrid wave in a plasma cylinder65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343258View Description Hide Description
A nonlocal theory of parametric decay of an upper‐hybrid wave into an ion‐acoustic wave and an upper‐hybrid sideband reveals that an axially symmetric pump tends to excite axially symmetric modes. The growth rate falls off with the frequency ω0 of the pump and the azimuthal model number l of the decay waves. In cases where ion and electron temperatures are nearly equal the decay process goes over to nonlinear ion Landau damping; however, the behavior of the growth rate with ω0 and l remains the same. The resonant and nonresonant decay via ion‐cyclotron modes also show similar behavior, although with a smaller growth rate.
Unipolar corona space charge in wire‐plane geometry: A first principles numerical computation65(1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.343259View Description Hide Description
We have calculated the space‐charge‐perturbed ion flow for the wire‐plane geometry using coordinate inversion and a finite‐difference method to retain the boundary at infinity. The results agree in outline with earlier finite element work, but they show a smooth variation of charge density with angle close to the wire. This suggests that the earlier work [J. L. Davis and J. F. Hoburg, J. Electrostat. 1 8, 1 (1986)] contains an error. We also show that the commonly used Deutsch assumption that field lines preserve their shape is not particularly good. We note that all calculations, good and poor, reproduce the well‐established Warburg (cosine power law) dependence of current density and field on the ground plane, but that careful work is needed to establish the conditions near the emitting wire.

Summer time means Vacation Bible School at many local churches and a chance for them to teach young children about the Bible.
Pastor of First Baptist Church of Meridian, Dr. Raymon Leake, went the extra mile to try to inspire VBS kids this week.
He told the children that if they raised $1,000 for missions, he would jump out of an airplane. They did, and so he did.
The video was shown at Friday's final VBS assembly.
"One of the things that we want to try to do is inspire children," said Leake. "So it's amazing when you get an opportunity to let kids see that you're willing to take a risk, and particularly when the risk revolves around Christian ministry."
This year's VBS theme was 'Amazing Wonders Aviation'.

we're never what we intend or invent.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE WEST COAST, ~hollowways ... !!
this is a commission of her ballin' baby boy, opium tragedy !
he is asexual, blue, dutiful, and has a problem with his mom.
i thought i'd go for loneliness, wistfulness, or restlessness here;
he seems like he needs warmth and affection but can't deal,
or goes and looks for it in all of the wrong places, et cetera.
(cue cliched image of turning your back on the sun, plus ice.)
and can i just say that ponies are like my mortal enemies ?
whining was at pegasus-level while i was working on this:
" what do ponies even look like " / " define pony " / " what "
thanks to *THE-ENEMY-STUDIO for enlightening me, hahaha.
anyhow, ele, i really hope you like him! happy birthday again !!

Title III Programs
The Associate in Science Degree (AS) provides the course of study equivalent to those offered to freshman and sophomore-level students in attending any four-year college/university in the state of Alabama and beyond. The designation of "Science" degree should not be confused with majoring in science. Rather, the Associate in Science degree covers a broad spectrum of studies related to science, social science, mathematics or engineering. Meaning, an Associate in Art degree is a general degree that is broad in scope. Students study a wide range of topics, including English, math, science, fine arts, philosophy and literature. The degree is a general-studies option with the purpose of transferring to a four-year college or university later. These programs generally require a minimum of 60-64 credits.

Today, I was called again at the same time of the day, and the woman asked me about making a subscription to Sports Illustrated. I had no clue what she was talking about, so I repeatedly asked "what?" She played me the recording made one year ago about this Kevin- previous resident of my dorm room- ordering an unsavory magazine from this company. I knew this had to have been a mistake, so I patiently (and I thought politely) waited through the long recording of the phone transaction so I could tell the polite woman she had made a mistake.
When she returned, she asked if that answered my question, and I said "excuse me ma'am, but I'm not Kevin." She then became very rude and said to me "listen young man, I don't have time for you to play games here. I'm going to alert my client about your actions." I tried to insert a reply, but she hung up, leaving me feeling rather molested and in fear of legal action.

I emailed Donna on 1/11/13 and she passed me off to a "Dan Dissen". Today he called me to say they are closing shop and implied they aren't paying anyone for anything.
What is most concerning is that after I looked up reviews on the company it appears they haven't paid anyone for a long, long time and continue to engage unsuspecting victims like myself knowing full well that no one will be paid. Their website is still operational and I believe they operate under the name of "Secured Lending Services" as well. It looks like a real sham all the way around.
I have all of this documented in email except for the phone call from Dan Dissen. He wouldn't email me for anything presumably because the don't want a written record stating they won't pay.

Secured Lending Services
AUTHOR: Renae - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 22, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, May 22, 2013
I am a Realtor in Walworth County WI and performed BPO's for Secured Lending Services for at least 5 years. I always received payment in a timely manner, usually within 30 days of completing the BPO. I guess I should count myself lucky that my last BPO was done about the end of 2012 and I received payment in full for all the BPO's I completed for them. My heart goes out to those who did not receive payment because considering the amount of time these take we were not paid anywhere near enough to complete them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Scene: College Fair at William Paterson College, Wayne, NJ
Me/Alumni Representative for Clark University, standing at my table: Hi!
Parent: (Picking up a booklet and looking through it.) I would love to go back to college!
Me: So would I! That's what I kept thinking, and saying, as my daughter went through her college search!
Parent: But I would do it completely differently this time.
Me: I'd do it EXACTLY the same way!
And I think that says it all! So many parents and young adults talk with me about their college search and selection process, and how they
- felt unprepared and overwhelmed
- didn't really understand all the steps on the path to college
- would like to have really engaged in and enjoyed the process.
I know it can be different!
If you're a teen, check out the resources that exist both in and out of school. If you're a parent, support your teen by learning about the entire selection process. I have developed resources—for both teens and parents—based on years of working with teens and their families. Here's my latest, www.majorinyou.com/e-book/
Mmmm, I'm of two minds about going to college fairs—and I say that knowing full well that I am going to a college fair tonight! I'll be representing Clark University at William Paterson College, in Passaic County, NJ.
Reasons to skip the college fair
If you're…
- already feeling overwhelmed with possibilities… these events, often with many (in some cases hundreds of) colleges present, may be stressful
- anxious about getting a school assignment done for tomorrow or later in the week… there will be other opportunities to learn information about colleges.
Reasons to go
You can…
- pick up materials and talk with representatives from the colleges that interest you
- look closely at the values represented by the print materials and the staff and/or alumni
- start to imagine life at college
Exploring the Colleges, Leaving a Great Impression, and Enjoying Yourself
1. Know what you want to achieve ~ What are you looking for, what do you need and want to learn about the different colleges?
2. Work out with your parent(s) in advance how you will enjoy the fair ~ Will you go on your own? With a parent(s)?
3. Speak for yourself ~ Introduce yourself, shake hands
4. Make a connection with the representative ~Have a conversation
5. Have your questions ready
Ask questions that indicate you want to learn about the school and students. Here are some ideas… My top ten questions.
- Did you go to (the college)?
- What did you major in?
- What made (the college) special for you?
- What is the college known for (for example, traditions, or the nature of student body, the political and social climate)?
- What are the emphases of the admissions process?
- What's the typical class size?
- Do students talk with professors outside of class—beyond office hours?
- Do students talk about what they are learning outside of classes?
- Are any special services offered for support of all students (tutoring or a writing center)?
- What percentage of students graduate in 4 years?
What are your Top Ten Questions? Be sure to go prepared with your questions—and get them answered!
- Avoid questions that indicate that you haven't done your homework about the college. Remember you might interview with these representatives at a later date, and you want to leave a good impression.
6 Request materials from the representative only if you are interested in that college. (Save a tree or two.)
7. Take notes after each conversation, as there are hundreds of schools at these events, and it's easy to forget information or get confused afterward).
You can read even more on my post, We're off to see the wizard…Going to College Fairs
I sat down to write… and words seemed too boring… so here are my thoughts in pictures and words.
In case you prefer words…
It's September
- How are you feeling?
- What your vision of where you want to be at college?
- Where are you on your path to finding the right college?
- What do you know about the college search?
- What do you have yet to learn? Where do you begin? Do you know the entire process—it's more than completing paperwork…
- Who will help you with your search?
- What are your next steps?
Here are some resources for you
- A short video about starting your search for the best colleges for you
- A survey from my new ebook, Making the GRADE, to help you stay focused, Where are you in your search?
- And, check my Facebook page tomorrow for news about my ebook!
What do you think about that quote? I believe it!
Think about your college search for a moment…
- What do you see as the path and the steps?
- Who is influencing the scope of your vision? The guidance department, your parents, your friends?
- What are the implications of not discovering the entire landscape of the process?
I'll tell you the consequences of a view with blinders… The potential to make a BIG mistake! When you don't know the pieces to the puzzle it's difficult to complete it with confidence. And, if you're thinking that guidance counselors or college advisors have the time to share the scope of the college search and the many steps on the path-think again! In most schools those supporting you in your search are focused on the completion of paperwork—which is important yet secondary to understanding yourself and finding the colleges that are the right fit.
Make sure that you're seeing all the steps on the path. My new ebook, Making the GRADE: Discovering the Colleges That Are the Right Fit for You! launches September 17th.
Watch my short video about what you need to know about how to best work with your guidance counselor/college advisor,
I hope you will let me know what you think!
Just read the tweet from Clark U. It's the first day of classes! It brings me back… such great memories!
If you're a high school senior—whether you're back at school already or begin next week—there are three questions to answer today:
- Where are you in your college search?
- Do you know all the steps on the path—not just the paperwork that needs to be completed?
- What's your plan, your timeline, and your next steps?
If you need help with answering any of these questions, contact me for me a free Strategy Session* here. I can help you make the college search faster and easier.
* My complementary Strategy Session helps you get crystal clear about where you are and where you need to go in your college search. We recognize what you have accomplished and uncover hidden challenges. You will leave the session energized and inspired to follow the path to the colleges that are the best fit for you.
Musings on Parenthood…
This morning I wrote to my daughter about how really wonderful it is that she is finding her way in the exciting, and yet messy, world of work. Then, I was struck by the thought that it was a "mom" kind of thing to say—and I believe that while there is some of that left in our relationship, we have more conversations as equals/peers/colleagues these days… and I reflected on the times that she has been respectful of the work/volunteering/learning that I do, and I felt content. We have reached a new place in our relationship…
It's a countdown to the new school year! In some areas of the country, students are already back at school, and almost everyone begins in the next two weeks. Seniors are wondering about the college search… I've heard the questions:
- What are all the parts of this process?
- Where will I find the time to do…
- my school work
- extracurriculars
- think about, and maybe take more, standardized tests
- start and finish the applications-including writing the essays
- get my letters of recommendation
- visit colleges and do interviews
- … and have a social life?
- Who can I turn to for information and support?
Here's a few tips and techniques for getting those tasks done-and making sure you have fun!
- Learn and truly understand all of the steps on this great adventure. Here's a picture to help you see it all!
- Get clear on where you are on your journey. I have created a survey for teens in my new ebook, Making the GRADE: Discovering the Colleges That Are the RIght Fit for You! Take the survey and then create a plan for what's got to get done! *
- Think about some cool concepts. I just read about them today in Yaro Starak's blog
A Sprint is a term common in the development world were you focus on one core task or objective which you can complete in a short period of time. You essentially "sprint" to the outcome, disregarding everything else.
There is another term that goes hand-in-hand with the Sprint concept known as an "Epic". An Epic is also an objective, but it's too big to be done in a sprint time frame. It requires more time and resources to get it done, hence it is a more "epic" undertaking." (Source: Yaro's blog)
Your college search is epic (nothing like a play on words!), and there are many sprints along the way. I think they are awesome concepts… and they fit right in with my "college search as a marathon" theme.
What do you think?
I believe you need to know all the steps of this epic journey, and if you create sprints for yourself-work you can get done in a week (or some other short, definite timeframe)- you will feel more in control of the process. I'd love to hear how you're doing-shoot me an email, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Subject: Your College Search
The Question: How are you feeling about where you are in the process of finding the colleges that are the right fit for you? Exactly how are you feeling RIGHT NOW?
As the summer comes to a close and you begin thinking about the upcoming school year…
- If you're a junior you might be thinking ahead to getting that packet of information about colleges from your guidance counselor or college advisor.
- If you're a senior, you are most likely thinking about when and how you are going to get your applications-with all the pieces to that puzzle, such as testing, writing/reviewing/revising/rewriting the essays, college visits, and interviews-done.
I'm guessing here, yet I wouldn't be surprised if you were getting a little anxious, or beginning to feel stressed out… And, we haven't even talked about what kinds of conversations you are having with you parents about managing the process, thinking about finances and scholarships, in addition to the importance of maintaining you grades during senior year.
Here are some ideas for you!
- Yoga
- Meditation
No, really!
I was just reading an article in Prevention magazine and then went to the source, the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Apparently doing Kripalu Yoga (meditation, relaxation and breathing exercises, along with yoga poses) reduces anxiety. How cool is that!
So while your school might not offer yoga as a part of PE/gym classes-it's something you could do on you own (think DVD's from the library or shows on TV/the internet).
And one of my favorite resources is www.getsomeheadspace.com, which has a fre*e 10 day meditation program. Check it out!
Whether you are feeling some tension, distress or overwhelm about you college search now, or when it happens in the future, remember, you can find the resources you need to cope… whether you discover tools or you reach out to others.
Just finished an interview with Matt Nie of WBSD FM, in Burlington, Wisconsin. He asked great questions…
- What are some of the myths about the trying to find the colleges that are the best fit?
- Where do teens begin their college search?
- How can parents be helpful-and not take over the process?
- What can students expect from their guidance counselors?
- What are colleges really looking for in students?
We discussed all this and more, and you can hear it online, at www.wbsdfm.com at 6:30 am Central Time, this Sunday, August 5th.
If you are looking for answers sooner, then…
- visit my website
- listen to these free recordings
- Open Mind, Open Heart: How to Support Your Teen in the College Search, www.majorinyou.com/twosides-parents
- Your College Search: How to Tame Your Fears and Find the Colleges that Fit, www.majorinyou.comtwosides-teens
- visit itunes, search for College Bound & Determined, my radio show for parents, with great interviews and information for teens too!
- contact me for a fre*e strategy session (write to me, email@example.com)
- and, check out the my newest publication, Making the GRADE, at the launch price of $15.00, available at www.majorinyou.com/store, on August 3rd.
Buying a college education-because that's what you are doing, purchasing what the college has to offer-is like buying clothes, a song on itunes, or a book on Amazon.com. You know great stores and designers, musicians and authors you love-over the years you have figured out what's right for you.
Now, the question is, which colleges are right for you? It's your job to discover which environments will provide you with the best education and social life… because if you don't do your homework and find the right matches, the colleges will do that work for you by rejecting your application. That's a scenario to be avoided for a few reasons: because it will upset you, and you will realize that your effort was a waste of time and money.
Going to college is not about making a vanity choice. It's a huge investment, and the colleges you choose need to be places where you feel both comfortable and challenged. Maybe your list of colleges will include an Ivy or a Big 10 school or maybe schools that are not on everyone's lips… I'd suggest looking at a wide variety of possibilities. It is your work to uncover the answer because it's your future.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
by Robert C. O'Brien
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH Theme of Transformation
Characters in Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH are transformed by their interactions with other characters, by their experiences, and, of course, they're transformed by science. The thread that connects all of these different types of transformation is knowledge. When the rats escape from NIMH, they don't simply flex their new muscles and scurry back to life as they knew it. Instead, they use their knowledge to transform their lives and their society. Mrs. Frisby's life is transformed by knowledge as well. Knowing the backstory on her husband opens up all sorts of possibilities for her and her children.
Questions About Transformation
- Are the rats more transformed by their physical changes or the mental and emotional changes they experience?
- Is transformation seen as the only way to move forward in this book? If not, what are some other possibilities?
- Can it be said that all of the characters undergo a transformation in the novel? If not, do the non-transformed characters represent a failure to progress?
- Jenner went through all the same changes that the rest of the rats did. Why did the change seem to affect him in different ways?
Chew on This
The rats cannot really take credit for the changes to their lives; it was all NIMH's doing.
NIMH gave the rats the tools to change, but it was their own ingenuity and perseverance that really allowed them to change their lives and create the Plan.

I was using it but didn't care for the button placement I chose so I change changed it and it broke my sliders. I tried deactivating and uninstalling and my sliders were still broken. One disappeared completely and would not reinstall.
I tried other themes with sliders and they are all broken even after removal of the plugin. i restored my data base from before I made the changes and one slider worked the other still not there and it also broke a clock I was using on a page. I had to install another clock plugin to get it working again.
I would post my site here but it contains a lot of swearing and cursing so I don't want to offend anyone.
Can you please give me instructions on how to fully remove the plugin so it stops breaking things on my site even after I do the standard uninstall?
Thank you for creating the plugin but it just isn't working for me.

After I installed WordPress, I didn't activate Jetpack because I wasn't sure if I needed any of the features. I'm now wondering, is activating Jetpack the only way to get rid of the Jetpack advertisement at the top of my WordPress dashboard? If not, how can I get rid of the ad? I'm tired of seeing, "Jetpack is installed and ready to bring awesome, WordPress.com cloud-powered features to your site."
Or am I the only one who doesn't use Jetpack?
Lastly, if I activate Jetpack, will the space at the top of the dashboard immediately be filled with a different ad?
