Applying Adhearsion to Asterisk
Following the trend of other corporate servers shifting from closed-source platforms like Windows NT and UNIX, VoIP too now booms with an exodus to the open-source Asterisk PBX and Linux. In its own picture, Asterisk looks readier than ever to meet these needs. The great folks at Digium, Asterisk's maintaining company, stress product quality and lead VoIP innovation.
Integrating technologies with VoIP also makes the picture even prettier. With standard computers crunching the calls, connecting the dots plainly makes sense. Traditional ways to integrate Asterisk really exist as hacks though, not as comprehensive solutions.
This new open-source framework takes on integration issues ranging from enterprise must-haves to living-room hacking projects. Written in Ruby, Adhearsion comes out of the box with more than what many companies spend thousands on. Though its name derives from being "adhesion you can hear", it can work even without Asterisk when trying to splice two or more technologies together outside of the VoIP picture frame. Because Ruby and Adhearsion both aim to improve productivity, VoIP systems now more than ever make fun projects for your free time or effective tools in bringing your employees, customers and the world closer.
When a call comes in on an Asterisk server managed by Adhearsion, Asterisk acts as a metaphorical kernel for the call by managing low-level hardware, converting codecs, canceling echo and so forth. For the logic it should perform during the call, such as playing messages, connecting through to someone or taking input, it establishes a TCP connection to a running Adhearsion dæmon and receives commands one at a time, executing each and sending back a response.
Let's get a working Adhearsion box running to demonstrate.
Adhearsion, like most other Ruby projects, uses the fantastic package manager RubyGems. If you read Linux Journal's July '06 issue on Ruby or have picked at the language, you've likely bumped into this great software. If not, package managers for any popular Linux distro barely differ. The Adhearsion installation process constitutes installing Ruby and RubyGems, then pulling Adhearsion down with a gem install command.
The installation example below uses Ubuntu/Debian's apt-get package manager. You, therefore, may need to make minor modifications to the package names for your distro. If you don't have a RubyGems system package, drop by its Web site (see Resources) and pick up the tarball:
apt-get install ruby1.8 ruby1.8-dev irb1.8 tar zxf rubygems*.tgz cd rubygems* ruby setup.rb gem install adhearsion --include-dependencies
With the last command, RubyGems created the ahn (pronounced Anne) command.
You can use ahn to create new Adhearsion projects, execute an Adhearsion process normally or as a dæmon, install open-source framework extensions remotely, read help documentation and so forth. Type ahn help for more information.
This guide assumes you have an existing Asterisk server configured. If you would like more information on how to do this, see the Resources section. It takes adding only a simple instruction to the extensions.conf configuration script to have Asterisk utilize Adhearsion. If you had your phone users routed to your "internal" context, you would modify the "internal" context's definition as such:
[internal] exten => _X.,1,AGI(agi://192.168.1.2)
Next, create a new Adhearsion project with the command:
ahn create ~/helloworld
This generates an entire directory structure with which you can mingle safely. To start up Adhearsion, supply the path to your Adhearsion directory to ahn:
ahn start ~/helloworld
Read on to learn ways you can modify this new project to suit your interests.
Traditionally, engineers route Asterisk calls in one of two ways: modifying the extensions.conf file or writing an Asterisk Gateway Interface (think CGI) script. Most generally use the former but, in situations where integration matters, one may use them together. Typically, developers write AGI scripts on the filesystem of their Asterisk machine, which communicate plain text over STDIN and STDOUT.
But, trouble arises when this scales both in complexity of code and complexity of use. Because Asterisk executes this script as a subprocess, it actually builds up whatever overhead is needed for the AGI program (for example, the Perl interpreter or a database socket), executes the code and then tears it all down again. Although tolerable in smaller situations, processes carry greater tolls on memory and running time as concurrent use increases. Additionally, without a framework, scripts in this way also contain suboptimal amounts of repetition.
Adhearsion utilizes Asterisk's FastAGI feature for managing calls from another IP-addressable machine. In this way, precious RAM and CPU cycles receive virtually no impact on the Asterisk box and, just as important, Adhearsion has already established the overhead for each call before it comes in.
With your new example Adhearsion project created earlier, open your extensions.rb file. Below, I've included an example file from which you can get a feel for how Adhearsion works to handle calls. Take a minute now to read it over:
# File extensions.rb internal { case extension when 101...200 employee = User.find_by_extension extension if employee.busy? then voicemail extension else dial employee, :for => 10.rings voicemail unless last_call_successful? end when 888 play weather_report("Dallas Texas") when 999 then +joker_voicemail end } joker_voicemail { play %w"a-connect-charge-of 22 cents-per-minute will-apply" sleep 2.seconds play 'just-kidding-not-upset' check_voicemail }
If you feel adventurous, try using this now with any phones on your Asterisk box.
Note that this is all valid Ruby. Ruby fundamentally permits the modification of how aspects of the language function. As such, Ruby code can become modified for a particular need or particular domain of needs—hence the name commonly used in the Ruby scene: domain-specific language or DSL. The full benefit of the Ruby language remains, however, giving it the best of both worlds.
Because our example Asterisk extensions.conf from above invokes Adhearsion within a context named internal, Adhearsion maps this directly over by convention. Adhearsion creates many call-related variables as simple local variables before it processes a context. The case statement for the auto-generated extension variable used shows Ruby's great support for ranges of numbers, but a Perl-like regular expression literal could very well replace this.
The next line employee = User.find_by_extension extension may prove surprisingly subtle. You easily can infer there exists some collection of users with extensions and some method of finding them by their extension. If ActiveRecord is new to you, you probably didn't realize immediately that this actually abstracts database access. Before diving into a more complete explanation of how this works, let's finish grokking this file.
Implementations for determining whether the user should be disturbed can vary, but we need to know only a yes or no answer. Users are allowed to remain focused by having callers sent silently to their voice mail.
Worth mentioning that 999 is
Worth mentioning that 999 is a bad example to use for things like this as it's the emergency services number in the UK and a couple of other countries... Most Voip ATAs that have a PSTN fallback in these countries will route 999 over the PSTN and it will never reach Asterisk (not to mention you'll have a somewhat annoyed Emergency Operator on the line!)
Simply Amazing
Even though this piece of software is beta, I have been amazed how easy it is do things that would be otherwise difficult to implement. Rails catapulted Ruby in the web dev arena, and I think adhearsion is about to do the same in the asterisk arena.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Skip to comments.Is It Ever OK to Supervise Your Guy's Haircut?
Posted on 10/17/2013 1:52:47 PM PDT by nickcarraway
Last week I was at my hair salon, and as I was settling into the chair, Misty, my longtime hairstylist, was shaking her head as she finished sending a text. "I have a client coming in after you, and that was his wife telling me what to do to his hair," she told me. "It really puts me in an awkward position."
Wait, women do this? According to Misty, yes. "The worst is when they come in and hover and give me direction," she said.
Excuse me, what? I'm assuming if you're old enough to have a wife, you're a grown-up man. Although maybe this is a normal thing. After all, a few years ago Tom Brady hinted that the reason he kept his hair long was because his wife, Gisele, made him do it. (I give that couple a pass just on general principle. Plus, she played it down later.)
While the whole concept of art directing my guy's haircut seemed a little over-the-top to me at first (and not only becausefull disclosuremy hub shaves his head in the tub every other week because there's not much left at this point), I softened my stance a bit after I thought about it.
A lot of guys just can't be bothered about things like hairstyles or clean clothes (amirite?), and they definitely appreciate a woman's feedback. I mean, you want your man to like your hair too, right? I think what I have the problem with is this concept of women acting like pageant moms, and the guys going along with it.
I will, however, offer a concession. If your guy ever takes it into his own hands to do this, a la Jake Gyllenhaal a few days ago, you march his butt right down to the salon.
My wife does with me, and I don't have a problem with it - because she wouldn't do it if I didn't want her to.
How I look actually matters a bit in my current life, and when it comes to my hair, she's better at working out what works for me than I am - I liked the way I had my hair cut while I was in the Navy, but I'm not in the Navy anymore :)
I can't believe we gave them the vote. Things have been going downhill since.
I meet my barber in the shower every morning. I am he and he is me. A razor is the tool of my trade...
Easy solution, guys. Go to a barbershop - a real barbershop :) Thanks.
The biggest problem women have is trying to change a guy.
My wife can't resist doing this, so to avoid the conflict I just get it cut when she isn't around.
>>My wife does with me, and I dont have a problem with it - because she wouldnt do it if I didnt want her to.
How I look actually matters a bit in my current life, and when it comes to my hair, shes better at working out what works for me than I am - I liked the way I had my hair cut while I was in the Navy, but Im not in the Navy anymore :)<<
My wife has to look at me, I don't. How my hair is cut affects her more than anyone else in the world.
She doesn't come to the haircutter with me but she gets right of approval.
This isn't a big deal since I have been getting the same haircut for 25+ years (scissor cut finger high no part).
Considering that I am the one doing the cutting I had better be supervising it!
Hard enough to find a gal who cuts my hair correctly AND consistently.
Now that I found her, no one will interfere in the process.
Plus, it only her 10 minutes for a perfect cut.
Last week I was at my hair salon, and as I was settling into the chair, Misty, my longtime hairstylist, ...
See, there's the first mistake right there. Never let some chick cut your hair. A man gets his hair cut by a barber. And a barber is a man who cuts men's hair. Real men do not go to hair salons.
Hahaha...I have liked for years having my hair high and tight, but my wife prefers longer hair. I find it far more comfortable short.
But she has preferences, and she is my wife. She lets me do what I want, but I have an obligation to listen and acknowledge her views. And she isn't strident about it.
I could see her going to my barber with me and telling him how she would like to see my hair, but only if I asked her.
She wouldn't do that on her own.
Absolutely. If left to his own devices, my husband would have a haircut reminiscent of a German Hun circa 1917.
My wife used to cut my hair, but then I figured out how to do it myself with an electric clipper and a hand mirror.
My wife has cut my hair for 35 years, whenever she gets tired of looking at me. I keep my mouth shut if I don't want my ears snipped.
My wife has been cutting my hair for 40 years.
A lot less hassle than going to a barber.
correct, the only place I go is to a proper barbers
If my wife could cut hair, I'd be right along side you ;)
I like going to the barber shop, sitting down and asking for the usual. I went to Orange County CA for business for a couple months and had to get a haircut. Not only did it cost twice as much, but I had to explain that I really didn't use "product" on my hair.
Why are you reading Glamour?
There's as many answers as there are temperaments of couples.
Of course a good thing can be carried too far. Think of Delilah and Samson.
My wife cuts my hair just like I want.
And of course, she calls him Hunny.
learning how to be a glammarian, i guess
I get a haircut twice a year whether I need one or not.
It turned up during another news search, and seemed interesting to post.
I only get involved when a stylist doesn't believe hubby that he doesn't do the whole comb-over thing, that he wants what little is left on top cut the same length as the rest. Sometimes a new stylist doesn't take him seriously, so he has my second set of eyes there to make sure it's done right. Now, he's got the same young lady who's been cutting his hair for the last 8-9 years, and she knows exactly how he wants it, so he doesn't need me there. She went out on maternity a few months ago, and I should have gone with him. The replacement stylist was not as good as his regular one.
If it does not have a barber pole outside I don't go in. My wife can give me feedback on my hair cut at home, she pretty much likes what I like. My mom quit going to the barber shop with me when I was 8. I buy my own socks and underware too. But whatever works for ya'll is OK with me.
pointless word musing... glamo[u]r and grammar used to be the same word. back when few people could read and write it was considered a mystical skill. it was glamorous to know grammar.
My husband MAKES me cut his hair....luckily, he is bald on top. I would rather not deal with it...but, penny pinching and all!
My son used to go with me, for a haircut, until he 'discovered' girls, in Junior High School. From that point on, he went with my wife to the "salon" for his cut. The biggest problem I had was the cost (at that time), a $4 haircut was now $25.
One Friday, his pals came to the door. "Sorry, fellows, Tim is at the beauty parlor", I told them. Next week, I came home from work. "Dad, you told those guys I was at the beauty parlor - they teased me all day !". "That doesn't happen to guys who go to the barber shop" I told him ;)
I have been going to the same barber for 20 years. He is an older guy, works with one other guy in a small barbershop in Cambridge, MA of all places. It is a 25 mile ride from my house.
I started going there because there was a really good Tex-Mex place where I loved going to eat, and would make it a ceremony to get my hair cut and go eat. One of those places that fry their own tortilla chips for their salsa.
My barber and I talk sports, life and politics. His magazines run from the SI Swimsuit edition to GQ and Men's Health.
I leave him a big tip. It is an old style barbershop, they wear the tunics and all. He cuts my hair just the way I ask him to, whether it looks good or not.
My wife has been trying to get me to go to a barbershop closer to our house, so I went to one downtown to get my hair cut before I drove south to DC to hang out with the DC Chapter of Free Republic folks outside Walter Reed.
A woman cut my hair, and when I got home, I looked at it and was aghast. It looked like a bowl cut. I had to go sit in line at a SuperCuts, and a very young woman tried to clean it up, but I still wasn't happy with it.
My town recently had an Octoberfest, and when I was downtown, I saw two new hair cutting places. My wife encouraged me to go check them out, so I walked into the first one and stopped dead. It was filled with hair stylists, almost as if they decided on purpose they had to have a plethora of minorities, and all of them looked like 20-something hipsters. Out of politeness, I asked their price, and it was four dollars more than my barber.
I walked out. Not my kind of place. I need a guy-type barber shop. It is what I feel comfortable with.
Not unless invited.
Hahaha...very good!
he didn't respond to them by bragging on the hot chicks that were asking for his phone number did he?
"Why are you reading Glamour?"
I could only assume he was the one who WROTE to Glamour in the first place......
My wife cuts my hair. Buz cut using electric hair clippers. She likes the look and I especially like it because there is no fuss or muss grooming involved.
the article is an original here by this cheryl chick. this is not letters to the editor.
lol ! I live in Orange County - pay $8 for a cut, and if I give them a $2 tip, they are overjoyed. Freepmail me, if you need the location ;) BTW - the only "product" they use on my hair is that barbershop squirt bottle stuff !
That is the thing. If I asked her (and I keep thinking I might, because I just can't figure out anything past a crewcut that looks acceptable to me) she would do it.
But she would never, EVER force herself onto that situation. Not her style. She understands that maxim that many women take to heart: Their guy might do anything for them, but it needs to be something he thinks he has come to on his own, not steered there by a meddling, manipulative wifey...:)
Exactly. Barbers (men who cut hair) cut men's hair. Period. And if it doesn't involve a straight-edge razor on the neck (and a full hot shave around the holidays), you're wrong. This ranks up there with NFL players wearing pink shoe laces: I don't care how big your muscles are, what kind of vehicle you drive or how much money you make— if you do it, you're a fairy.
If a man thinks his wife has no say then she should buzz hers off and see if he says something stupid. He will. My wife has her requests and I use the same gal she does so I am out numbered.
Good for you, Sir, sounds like I married the wrong gal ! :)
well it does help to have someone who can see whether it's been all clipped off in the back, these can be git-r-done-yourself jobs but there's always the chance of missing something. (hand mirror? what's a hand mirror? those are for sissies!)
With the little that's left anyway, ain't much of a challenge for me.
Really? Your guys haircut? From Glamour?
Guess there is nothing more important.
I hear Mary Matalin takes her hub to get waxed.

The man wearing the American Flag t-shirt is supposed to be Abbie Hoffman; the actor who portrayed him was Richard D'Alessandro (born on May 11, 1960 in Massapequa, Long Island, New York).
Hoffman was the leader of the Youth International Party (Yippies); a self described "child of the Woodstock nation", and "an orphan of America."
He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on November 30, 1936, and became involved in the Yippie movement around 1966. In 1974 he avoided trial on drug charges by changing his name to Barry Freed, and undergoing plastic surgery. He was arrested well over 3 dozen times over his life.
On April 12, 1989 Hoffman was found dead of an apparent suicide at his home in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
State Supreme Court justice Gustin Reichbach was an anti-war advocate that helped defend Abbie Hoffman in the 1960s; he passed away on July 15, 2012 after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer.

How much longer for a TITLE?
Not bad from you zogs but a few things an old school kop-ite like needs to be pulled up on...
Yes, the transfer dealings of fatlad are HORRIFICALLY bad. I agree, the owners would be absolutely insane to give full control of the purse strings to this fat Spanish waiter. LOOK what he's done to the reserves and academy. It's Valencia all over again with this arrogant, ignorant foreign slug.
Like most here zoggo you FAIL to see the bigger picture of your visionary leader though. Most of those players you list simply are not good enough in comparison to other top four rivals. The likes of Reina (the midget flapper), Skrtel (Vidic light), Aurellio (who?), Riera (man city reject), Babel (a one footed bust) and even Carra (legs are gone) wouldn't get into any other top team so WHY are they good enough for the shirt once worn by the likes of Clem, Emilyn, Hanson, Phil Neal, Digger Barnes, Rush and Dalglish to name just a few, old fossil?
Torres is only here for fat Zorro and is a shadow of his first season self... these players just aren't delivering and aren't good enough to compete for the title mate as the table CLEARLY shows.
Open your eyes ALL OF YOU and realise it's over for the 19th year because the squad, tactics, players and infrastructure just aren't GOOD ENOUGH... and only one man is accountable for this five years of league FAILURE... RAFA BENITEZ.... a walking DISASTER who has ruined my club of over 30 years.. an utter DISCRACE.

Five Great Gretsch Rock Albums of the 1980s
Posted: September 20, 2012
Gretsch electric guitars loomed large in the 1950s with original-era rock 'n' roll and rockabilly; even larger in the 1960s with the British Invasion. They were certainly still around during the musically tumultuous 1970s, although you did have to look a little harder. And then the 1980s arrived.
The 1980s. That was the decade when Gretsch guitars came roaring back in ways both traditional and unexpected, as post-punk, new wave, the rockabilly revival and other fast-proliferating subgenres blasted their way to the forefront of popular music on both sides of the Atlantic. Below, in chronological order, are five fine albums you can thank for that happy development. And we're not just talking about a Gretsch guitar appearing on a song or two—we're talking about entire albums that are scorching, swinging, soaring and singing examples of Gretsch guitar artistry all the way through from first track to last …

Primerica leaders, Pat McGreevy-Evans & Mike Evans, of Beachwood, OH, earned their first Primerica income "successory," the Watch. Primerica reps receive this distinction when they reach the $50,000* income level during a single 12-month period.
*As of May 2015. From January 1 through December 31, 2014, Primerica paid a total of $593,056,197 in compensation to its sales force, at an average of $6,030 per life licensed representative. Actual gross cash flow is, among other factors, dependent upon the size and scale of a representative's organization, the number of sales and the override spread on each sale, and the ability and efforts of a representative and their downlines. Having said this, Primerica provides an opportunity for individuals who work hard to develop a business with unlimited income potential. 15PFS342

Does Shade Clothing tend to run small/tight? I'm normally a medium shirt, will a Shade medium be very tight?
Same question with DownEast
Does Shade Clothing tend to run small/tight? I'm normally a medium shirt, will a Shade medium be very tight?
Same question with DownEast
SAHM of 4 kids
DS #2 has a Moderate SNHL
They're not made to be baggy or even loose. So, for how they're *meant* to fit I would say they're about average. But if you want them to be baggier or looser then I would go up a size. I go up a size because I hate anything too tight. But most of their tanks/shirts are meant to be form fitting, and yes, even a little tight.
- Meagan
I wanted to add that if you are wearing the tanks UNDERNEATH something you might want your regular size... since you don't want it to be bulky or bunched up. But if you are buying their shirts (like basic cap sleeve) to wear alone then that's when I would go up a size unless you like them tight.
I wear my tanks in a small and my regular cap sleeves in a medium.
I only own one DownEast and it's one of the thick strap tanks. It's considerably tighter than my Shade brand tanks, but since I don't own any other DownEast shirts I'm not sure if the whole brand runs that way or just that specific tank.
- Meagan
I know they will fit tight... but there is tight and then there is too tight, at least for me anyway. Thanks for the comments Megan.
SAHM of 4 kids
DS #2 has a Moderate SNHL
If you are at all self conscious about things being too tight, I'd definitely go up a size. Even when I'm super thin and don't have to worry about anything bulging I still like to go up a size.
- Meagan
downeast tees do tend to run a little tighter than most brands, but not as tight as shade shirts. i go up a size on shade shirts and they're still snug.
I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do, what we deny ourselves. But instead by what we embrace and who we include.
I have a Down East cap sleeve tee in my regular size and it drives me crazy. The arm holes are so tight (like in my armpits) that I can't wait to get it off. I wish I would have gone up a size,

Hi there,
I'm wanting to have a go with wordpress 3, and have just installed it here:
Clicking on post titles and other links on the site however are not loading - the same homepage just keeps loading. Not really sure how to explain it, but on my blog if you click on a post title, you'll see what I mean.
Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

I have had problems since updating the Event Calendar Plugin... when activated my site drop down menus and lightbox etc does not work.
Is there any quick fix for this?
I have had problems since updating the Event Calendar Plugin... when activated my site drop down menus and lightbox etc does not work.
Is there any quick fix for this?
I am also having this problem and have had to downgrade to 2.0.9 to correct this.
My site is http://www.sconchtextiles.co.uk and when I upgrade to 2.0.10 it stops to checkout widget from functioning which prevents the e-commerce aspect of my site from functioning at all.
As downgrading back to 2.0.9 corrects this problem (as does disabling the plugin if I am on 2.0.10) this must be an error within version 2.0.10 of the plugin.
How can I download 2.0.9? I'm having the same problem--WP Filebase and TheThe Image Slider break with 2.0.10, but I can't find a place to get the previous version.
Hey rbladzik: 2.0.9 can be downloaded right here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/the-events-calendar.2.0.9.zip. That being said, this is a serious issue and does sound like something we introduced with 2.0.10. I've got the devs taking a look now to see if we can identify what's up.
Thanks for your support and patience so far.
It seems pretty likely a theme conflict at least in my case. I have the same error as described above on a custom theme that I am developing, but when I switch my theme to 2011 the error is gone, and downgrading to 2.0.9 does not resolve the conflict.
Hope thats helpful.
Hi all! Can you look through:
And let us know if that seems to be the problem in your cases?
Barry, your a good man, and I'm a better themer for it. Thank you. I guess I was just throwing the latest version of jQuery in there out of habit on non-WordPress projects.
I pulled out my link to jQuery and vuala! It works.
Thanks for confirming this, ryland666!

Why are you coming against this family so-called pastor mike?
AUTHOR: Yanela P. - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, January 30, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, January 30, 2013
I have known this family for a long time and they do their best to please the Lord.
pastor mike.....I pray that God will heal you of all hurt.
It is a known fact that hurting people hurt others and you are hurting innocent people.
Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
The reason I didn't capitalize your so-called title and name is because you don't deserve that kind of honor!
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?
#2 UPDATE Employee
Wow... just wow.
AUTHOR: Peace Warrior - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 23, 2012POSTED: Friday, November 23, 2012
I've known them for a great number of years. I've personally had fellowship with them for over one year. I've been a born again, spirit filled believer for over 30 years now. THE most intense, presence of the Lord felt meetings I have ever had in my life was when Pastor Joe was/had been preaching and pastor Amanda was/had been praying. The Spirit of the Lord descended and filled that building we were in on a far greater scale than I have ever experienced in my life before or since.
I have read several of "Pastor Mike's" entries to the ripoff-report-dot-com website. Personally, I believe Mike drinks way too much coffee and then tries to type his way to a less caffeinated peacefulness by way of making entries on the ripoff-report-com website. Hey Pastor Mike, chill dude, relax. Seriously man....
One more thing pastor Mike, before you do the devil's bidding and attack others, maybe you should first get married, have your wife get pregnant, give away everything you own, then move to a city roughly a 1000 miles away, plant a church in a strip mall, help grow that fellowship until it gets too big and has to move into a larger church facility, then give that all away, plus give away most of everything you own yet again, and then move almost 2000 miles away with a wife and now two kids in tow to go start yet another fellowship from scratch. Mike you do all this one time I will humble myself and apologize to you, but you need to understand, Pastor Joe and Pastor Amanda have both done this twice. WHY?????????
They believe the Lord wanted them to do it. Hey Mike, what little things have you refused to do for the Lord because they were too risky? Don't lie to yourself or me 'sir!' You're a hypocrite of the highest order simply by what you've posted about Pastor Joe and Pastor Amanda. You've NEVER, I repeat Mike, you've NEVER done anything near as hard as planting not just 3, not just 4, but over at least 7 different fellowships in four different states.
Mike, who is actually answering, to the best of their several abilities, the call of G-d on their lives and who is simply answering the call of the devil to be an accuser of the brethren? Let the Lord guide your conscience if you have one left.
To those reading these articles, please know that both Pastor Joe and Pastor Amanda have sacrificed and will continue to sacrifice their lives according to the words of our Lord Christ Jesus. Are they perfect? No. Are they without error? No.
Are they earnest in their desire to see people experience the absolute anointing of the Holy Ghost that comes only from a relationship with Jehovah through Christ Jesus? Yes! And I say a thousand times yes!
Matter of fact, not long from now Pastor Amanda will deliver a message from the scriptures (KJV) concerning Lazarus' death and resurrection through the Jesus that will revolutionize the way most older Christians receive the teachings/doctrines of our Saviour's Words on "hungering and thirsting after the righteousness of G-d."
The readers are blessed of G-d to be a Blessing: Jehovah Shalom. Jehovah Alam. Jehovah Shammah. Amein. ;)

Upon further investigation I found that they have optimized fake reviews to the point where it took about 5 google pages before I found this site and the first real reviews. (the fake reviews used similar wording, font, formatting etc).

A Purpose Driven Troop
It's NEW for 2016!Boy Scouts may be 106 years old this year but it's still staying new and as relevant to boys in 2016 as it was in 1910. This year the Boy Scouts of America have updated the program once again proving that even in old age flexibility is possible!
Welcome to the "New" Boy Scouts! To coincide with the revised program the BSA is publishing a new Boy Scout Handbook. This will be the 13th edition to this invaluable scout resource.
In this new edition the BSA has stated it's goal of emphasizing five core content areas; character development, participatory citizenship, personal fitness, outdoor skills and awareness and leadership. Embedded in these goals is a clear emphasis on healthly eating and fitness, a greater degree of environmental stewardship, and most significantly an expanded emphasis on 'duty to God'.
Other key advancement changes that the BSA has announced (effective 1 January 2016) include:
- "Scout" will become a full rank, rather than just the joining requirments.
- Service will be required for all ranks.
- There will be a 30-day or 4-week physical fitness requirement in Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class.
- There will be new requirements on health & eating habits, outdoor ethics, weather safety, and Leave No Trace.
- Boys registered in a troop on or before Dec. 31, 2015, who are working on Tenderfoot through First Class ranks, may continue to use the old requirements through 2016, but they must convert to the new requirements upon attaining the First Class rank.
- Boys registered in a troop, team, crew, or ship on or before Dec. 31, 2015, who have completed the First Class rank may complete the rank they are currently working on with the old requirements through 2016, but then must convert to the new requirements for subsequent ranks.
- Any boy registering in a troop for the first time on or after Jan. 1, 2016, must use the new requirements.

Where knightly qualities thrive and grow.
The trail of HONOR, TRUTH and WORTH,
And the strength that spring, from the good brown earth.
The trail that Scouts, in their seeking blaze,

R & R Auto Repair - Salina, KS - Phone: (785) 826-2555
'Auto Inspection Services' is the process through which mainly used cars, when re-sold, are verified from everything that is possible to check and report oil pressure at startup and on the road, on cars fitted with an oil pressure gauge. In Salina, during auto inspection, there can be check for 'blow-by' and cross contamination of fluids by removing the oil filler cap, radiator cap and dipstick. If there are internal issues with the engine they will likely be evident here if not on the test-drive in Salina.
Also in Salinaauto inspection services include the condition of body and paint, dents, scratches, tires and wheels, glass, interior, missing parts, oil leaks, electrical items, and drive train performance. When possible, the vehicle may be test-driven to verify transmission and engine operation. The inspector will look over the interior and exterior of the vehicle for any obvious damage.
Each year as a tradition to myself and this green movement website, I write on the events of Earth Day (April 22nd) this year is no exception. I will focus more on some new ideas and representations of our planet Earth. The symbols of Earth Day have been similar throughout the years, including an image or drawing of the Earth..

Getting an ROI on electronics
Return-on-investment (ROI) means a great deal to a business who is cash-straped, especially in economically turbulent occasions like these. When a business spends in a device, a brand new marketing campaign, a house as well as worker, they're cautiously monitoring the cash made to cover the outlay and supply profit too. Something that does not fit these criteria is rapidly cut loose. This can be helped by companies who enable you to spread your costs by leasing laptops compared to the outright expense of purchasing.
Read more about leasing laptops
Because an organization spends so heavily inside it, a sharper-than-normal eye is continued Return on investment from that quarter. Costs for hardware (which may be especially pricey), software, programming and maintenance contracts must show substantial returns to get approval from individuals ever-careful bean counters.
If you where to buy a custom server, you would want to get your moneys worth right? Of course you would, for a business this would be using to host a website or hold files or a database either from their own use or as a part of their business by selling's it use to clients. They would wont to use it to it's full capacity in order to turn the most revenue. A personal users may want to use the server as a media centre for all their movies and songs. Or as a way to host their favourite online game so they can play with friends and others.

One fundamental component that can reduce straight over the Return on investment for the suggestions above is file fragmentation. It greatly slows system performance, which impacts the return for software, hardware, virtually every worker and the organization itself if this cannot deliver items and services on time. It impacts IT simply because they must chase and "released fires" rooted in fragmentation. And in addition it impacts hardware existence a disk drive that has to work many occasions harder to retrieve file fragments, can put on out around 50 % faster.
While many may have heard that defragmentation boosts performance for those computer systems employees and increases computer existence, they might not know that it requires the best defrag technology to really achieve this.
The defrag technology in common me is scheduled defragmentation. At that time it had been invented, it would be a significant advancement just before scheduled defragmentation, it needed to be carried out by hand throughout off hors with a live human. It needed to be carried out throughout off-hrs since the defragmentation process would adversely decelerate performance for just about any customers around the system. Arranging resulted in defragmentation could occur unwatched throughout occasions when computer systems were not being used. Now, however, "occasions when computer systems aren't getting usedInch have become few in number as numerous shops remain operational 24X7.
But the issues don't hold on there. Arranging itself must be carried out by experienced IT personnel-personnel which are now an issue and under heavy demand. Time spent examining and arranging defrag around the many drives within a corporation cuts heavily into Return on investment potential.
The most critical factor, however, is always that scheduled defragmentation is no more fully carrying out the function that it had been designed: fully defragmenting the drives and permitting full performance possibility to be recognized. Because file dimensions and disk capabilities have become so significantly, fragmentation is constantly on the build among scheduled runs. Which makes it still slowing down performance and lowering hard drive existence-and lowering Return on investment all over the enterprise
For real Return on investment from defrag, a business must use a computerized solution like Diskeeper software with InvisiTasking technology. Since it is fully automatic, system performance is at the maximum. Only otherwise-idle assets are utilized, so there's not an adverse performance hit from defragmentation. Since arranging isn't needed, IT hrs could be spent elsewhere where they'll have the greatest return. Hardware can achieve its expected lifespan and beyond.

Social security for informal sector
April 29, 2003
The size of the organised sector in India is very small. Approximately 7% of all workers share the privileges and benefits of this sector. In the last decade and a half of reforms, it was realised that even this small sector was too bloated for the output it produced. Over this period, as the economic contribution from the organised sector increased, the proportion of workers employed by this sector fell. Balance sheets of several public sector enterprises, including many public sector banks,...

MUMBAI: India's new pension system based on a defined contribution method is yet to take off, but new evidence shows that there is a huge latent demand for a social security umbrella from those who do not have the comfort of such a coverage. India's pension providers and asset management firms have focussed mainly on metros and towns without caring for the hinterland.

Skill Level Beginner
If you're really serious about capturing quality audio and you're looking for a device that works not just with your iPad, but you can also use with a Mac, you might want to consider the Apogee Quartet. The Quartet is definitely the priciest of the devices we've looked at in this series, but you can really feel the quality throughout this device. From its solid metal construction to the quality components, to the warm rich tones it captures. On the back it features four combination XLR quarter inch inputs. So you can plug in both mic and instrument cables. You'll find two digital optical inputs and a USB port for connecting mini devices.
This mini USB port is for connecting the device to your iPad or to your Mac. (SOUND) You'll also find three pairs of outputs here. Which means you can potentially hookup three sets of speakers or monitors to listen to what you're recording or performing or even mix in 5.1 surround sound. And there's also a world clock out port, so you can sync the Quartet with other digital devices. On the side of the device is a quarter inch stereo headphone jack. But it's the front of the device where the design considerations really shine through.
As you can see, you only have one controller knob. What it controls at any time is determined by what you select using these other buttons. For example, if I press the speaker icon, turning the controller knob adjusts the level of the speaker output. And pressing the controller knob quickly mutes and unmutes the speaker. Similarly pressing the headphone button gives you the same control over the headphone output. The buttons labeled one through four are for selecting among the four analog inputs. Selecting one lets me adjust its input levels using the controller knob.
But you also have to let the Quartet know whether you're recording with an instrument or microphone on that channel. To do this you need to download and install the Apogee Maestro app which is a free download from the app store. I have it right here. Maestro is basically your input output control center. So for example all four inputs are currently set to the instrument input. If I'm going to be recording from a mic plugged into say input one I would tap instrument and choose mic. Now you might have noticed.
That if you're going to be recording a line level signal you can also select between plus four dBU and minus ten dBV so be sure to check the specs of the device you're plugging in. This goes for your output settings too. In this case all my outputs are set to plus four dBU by default but I have selected mic here now and notice that the icon on the quartet has changed to a microphone. Once I've selected the mic I can enable phantom power in that channel if necessary. And I can also say change of polarity.
While in Maestro I can also use the on screen knob, to adjust the levels. Or I can use the controller knob on the Quartet as usual. And I'll see the knob in Maestro. Move along with it. Here in Maestro is also where you can configure these three buttons labeled A, B, C. By default, these three buttons are for a. Clearing your meters, which resets the clip indicators. B, dimming the output audio, which is basically a way to quickly lower the volume of your output. So you can monitor your playback at both full volume and quieter levels for reference.
And c, summing all the outputs from stereo to mono. But you can quickly and easily reassign any or all of these buttons to suit your needs, here in Maestro. Just come over to Device Settings, you can see we have Touchpad Assignment, A, B, C. Just tap the one you want to change, and then select from any of these settings. For example, maybe you have two speaker sets connected to your Quartet, you could assign, engage speaker set one to a, and maybe engage speaker set two to b. And then you'll be able to quickly switch back and forth, between them, just by pressing a and b on the Quartet.
So the Maestro app is an essential part of using the Quartet, but Maestro is not a recording or audio editing app. You need to use it to set up the Quartet to meet your requirements for your recording session, but then you'll open up whatever recording app you happen to be using, whether it's Garage Band, or Aria. Or any other core audio compatible iPad app. So that's the Apogee Quartet. It really is a great sounding solid professional level audio input device. Now if you're concerned that the Quartet might be out of your price range, or even if you don't need as many inputs and outputs as it offers, Apogee also offers a similar device called the Duet.
(INAUDIBLE). Both of them record at up to 24 bit, and 192 kilohertz resolutions. And both can connect directly to your iPad or Mac without any adapters. But the Duet has just two analog inputs, two analog outputs, and a headphone jack. And it doesn't have the customizable control features like the Quartet does. But again, it does come with a smaller price tag, and might be just enough for what you need.
