Gary Olsen - Lead Pastor, Rolling Hills Community Church
Pastor Gary is a devout believer that "a great church seeks to live out the Great Commandments and the Great Commission." Thus Jesus' charges to "love God with all your heart," "love your neighbor as yourself," and "go and make disciples of all peoples" form the foundation for his pastoral ministry.
Ways that he has equipped as a disciple to carry those orders out include:
+ completing the Certificate Course for Marriage Mentoring through Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott's Marriage Mentoring Academy in 2014;
+ attending the annual family ministry conference "D6" since 2012, and thus implementing family-life ministries such as "HomePointe" and FaithPath;"
+ becoming a certified online workshop provider in 2008 through BeADisciple.com at Southwestern College in Kansas, and leading online courses in subjects from C.S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles to Local Lay Speaker Servant training,
+ earning his Doctor of Ministry degree in 2007 at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky via his dissertation entitled "Disciple-Making Boards: The Impact of Training a Church's Governing Board in Small-Group Spiritual Formation Leadership;"
+ leading Rolling Hills in pilot programs for Stephen Ministry and Purpose-Driven Churches, including Celebrate Recovery's "Life's Healing Choices" and ChristCare's "Training Small-Group Leaders Using a Small-Group Format;"
+ receiving the Certificate of Advanced Church Leadership from the Beeson Institute, along with his wife Joyce, in 2002, participating in a three-year seminary program to take pastors and church leaders to cutting-edge, teaching churches across the United States;
+ training in St. Louis in 2000 with Stephen Ministry to be a trainer for the ChristCare small-group ministry system;
+ attaining a Masters of Divinity in 1982 from Nashotah House Episcopal Seminary, near Milwaukee, WI;
+ collecting Clinical Pastoral Education units in 1979 at Pawtucket Memorial Hospital, Pawtucket, RI through Interfaith Healthcare Ministries.
When asked about interests and hobbies, Gary lists his wife, their two children and their families, including three grand-children! He also enjoys researching family history, as well as digitizing the results in order to share it with extended family.
Dave spent most of his youth growing up in Northern California. At an early age he was interested in music and started his musical journey by taking up the drums. He studied percussion with a respected instructor, Todd Fleming, for several years. In his senior year of high school he started playing guitar and singing to expand his musical knowledge. This was prompted by an opportunity to join a new band that was being formed. Dave continued his education at Santa Rosa Junior College where he majored in music. While attending college he maintained his professional music career in a bay area band named Steele. This band went on to be offered a record contract, but the band decided to turn it down in hopes of a better offer. While Steele did not become a national act, they were well known in Northern California and played with many nationally known artists. Dave went on to form other bands in the later part of the 1980's and eventually transitioned into writing, producing, and recording his own music as well as other artists. He continues to write, produce, and record Christian music currently.
Dave's non-musical carrier resides in the software industry. He has been working for software companies for over 20 years in various roles. He attained a senior management position in a Northern California firm that produced various automated insurance rating programs. In 2003 Dave and his family moved to Lago Vista and he joined Highland Lakes Software. This company produces enterprise programs for telecommunications billing and accounting. He currently holds a senior management position overseeing the software support and quality assurance departments.
Dave, his wife of 21 years Jamie, and his daughter Sabrina joined Rolling Hills Community Church shortly after moving to Lago Vista in 2003 and have all been active members ever since. Dave joined the contemporary praise band in late 2003 as the bassist and a vocalist. He later transitioned into a lead guitar role and continued to sing lead and backup vocals. He took over the leadership role for the praise band on January 1, 2010.
The Rev. Judy Loehr is well known on the North Shore for her deep involvement with Lake Travis Music Theater. What many do not know is her wealth of experience in the Christian music world. Judy's lifetime musical adventures have included: Director of Church Music and Worship Resources for the United Methodist Church's national office in Nashville, TN; Musical Director of the United Methodist Festival Choir (13 years), touring England, France, Germany, Italy, Lichtenstein, Austria, Russia, Estonia, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii; and Teaching Assistant/Lecturer in Liturgy, Worship and Church Music at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN. Layer that on top of her formal training -- Vanderbilt Divinity School, Master of Divinity; Peabody Conservatory/Johns Hopkins University, Master of Music; and Baylor University, Bachelor of Music/Voice and Piano -- and you can see why Rolling Hills considers itself one blest congregation to have the Rev. Loehr direct the choir and provide keyboard accompaniment to our traditional worship services!
Judy Geddes began membership and her employment at Rolling Hills Community Church in 1998. She has been actively involved in youth ministry during the past nine years as director of the Youth Choir, Coordinator of the elementary youth programs, and this past year she has taken on the responsibility of the Middle School and High School youth ministry. Judy is a Stephen Leader in the Stephen Ministry program, Christ Care Small Group Leader, and Lay Ministry Leader in the Church. She is involved in the Care Ministry of the church, and oversees most care needs of those who request help. This can include prayer requests, food needs, hospital and nursing home visitation, or fulfilling a request for a Stephen Minister.
Judy and her husband Bill love camping, gardening, animals (especially cats), and their five granddaughters. Wherever they go Judy always keeps her cell phone handy and is in constant touch with the church. Reaching her is never a problem and she welcomes any and all calls regardless of the time of day.
Bettie is Director of the Children's Early Education Program (RHEEEP). She was born in Alice, Texas in 1972. She grew up in a variety of places: Corpus Christi Texas, Chattanooga Tennessee, and Houston Texas. She graduated in 1990 from Kempner High School in Houston. Bettie attended college at the University of Houston, until she and her husband moved to Austin in 1993. She transferred to The Univerity of Texas at Austin and graduated from UT with a BS degree in Applied Learning and Development, with a minor in creative drama. She is also certified by the State of Texas to teach K-8 grades and has an early childhood endorsement that certifies her to also teach in Pre-K and Kindergarten. After graduating UT, she taught at a private kindergarten in Austin for five years. They moved their family to Lago Vista in May of 1999. Bettie and Charles have been married 17 years and have two daughters, Autumn and Hayley and one son Charles Elijah. They joined Rolling Hills Community Church in November 2001. Prior to working at RHCC she was a co-owner of an Education and Enrichment center here locally. Presently she is active at Rolling Hills as a small group leader and teaches at the Sunday evening Youth activities.
In his interview for the Rolling Hills Youth Associate position, when asked if there was one word that would describe him, Matt smiled and said, "CRAZY!" As Matt describes himself, "the good Lord didn't put a shy bone in my body! (ha-ha) I love to get in there with the youth and show that being a Christian can be exciting and life changing, not only for themselves but for others also." After graduating Lehman High School in San Marcos, Texas, Matt went right to work, and his most recent career passion was served at the Gary Job Corps as Community Life Advisor. At 21, Matt has an opportunity to start at Concordia University in Austin with a major in Special Education and a minor in Psychology. Matt looks the Rolling Hills Church family in the eye and says, "I pray that God will use me in any way that He can to help your children, and I promise to give it my all every time!" Matt will team with parent Ira Wiesman to serve in leading Planet Youth, the Rolling Hills middle school ministry.
Got questions about Jesus Christ, car radio systems, kayaks, touring bikes, or Eagle Scouts? Ask Marty DeVoss, our Youth Ministry Assistant! Having moved to Lago Vista a few months ago from Denton, Texas, where he attended the University of North Texas and Denton Bible Church, Marty brings deep faith and a local presence to high school and middle school ministry. Also ask him about Jessica, Charlotte, and Lucy!

Don't worry, you won't need to do this -- but we think it's fun.
First step: get your oil all hot and shimmering.
And in goes the lamb.
After it looks like this, remove it and set aside.
Allium time.
Toss in your garlic, and cook until softened. Then add your spices.
One spice...
Two spice...
Three spice, four.
Add the tomatoes (smooshed first, thank you), making sure to scrape up the goodness on the bottom of the pan.
After 10 minutes, you're free to add the diced tomatoes.
And a bit of water. Now let this bubble away.
Remember the lamb? Its comeback is now.
Flavors need privacy to marry, you know.
While that does its thing, the orzo takes a plunge.
Then it gets tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, and...
A whole lot of green. Now all you need to do is stir the spinach into your lamb mixture, and you're destined for dinner.
Look at this feast! Dig in.
Gather everything together now.
That turkey is going to need a little salt, yes?
The start to many a good meal.
Brown it! Breast-side down first.
This is what you're going for -- now remove it to a plate.
In go the onions. When they start to brown, add the spice parade.
Sprinkle it in, and reach for your second spice. (Give thanks to your mise later.)
Oregano joins in on the fun.
And all of the chiles -- you'll taste the kick later.
When all of that has made your kitchen smell amazing, add the tomato paste and stir it in.
Slowly pour in the stock and lime juice.
And mix that in, too. Pause to admire this -- it's going to smell incredible.
Turkey, get back in the pot!
Ladle some liquid over his top so he doesn't dry out. Then he's oven-bound.
While the turkey cooks, turn your attention to the Xni-Pek.
This one's easy: just stir everything together!
But don't forget to season.
A little lime binds it all together.
This goes into the fridge to mingle and make friends will you do the rest.
That turkey is done! Take it from the pot and place it into a big bowl.
Remove the skin, and the bones, too -- you won't want to eat those.
And shred the meat with two forks. Be careful, it'll still be warm!
Pour a couple ladles full of the liquid from the pot over the shredded turkey. You'll need to taste-test your work, too. Do that now.
Now for the Kol Indio: add the broth to the Dutch oven and bring it to a simmer.
Whisk in the cornmeal, and cook until it resembles a thick porridge. After that, you'll be ready to eat!
Your masterpiece, all assembled.

Acclaimed University of Utah Professor of Mining Engineering brings practical and academic experience to occupational training and safety
(LAS VEGAS) –NAHETS, the National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Services, is proud to announce that Tom Hethmon, Associate Professor of Mining Engineering at the University of Utah, has joined the organization's advisory board. Hethmon currently serves as the director of the University of Utah's Center for Mining Safety and Health Excellence, and holds the Western Mining Presidential Endowed Chair in Mine Safety.
"We are thrilled to have an individual with such vast experience in occupational education as part of our team," said Robert Albano, chief operating officer of NAHETS. "Our campus-based and on-site training programs are designed to prepare and certify workers in heavy equipment operation, and jobsite safety is the number one priority. Thomas brings innovation and insight that will enhance our training efficiency."
Hethmon has more than 25 years of real world experience in promoting health and safety in the industrial and construction workplace. His career started in 1987 with Mobil Oil Corporation, and he has served as the director of occupational health and safety for Phelps Dodge Corporation, vice president of safety and occupational health for Rinker Materials Corporation, senior vice president of health, safety and environment for Dyno Nobel Corporation. In addition to his duties at the University of Utah, Hethmon is also the principal of Hethmon Associates LLC, providing organizational and management consultation to clients on a global basis.
Hethmon has also won numerous awards, including the prestigious Highest Degree of Safety Award from the International Society of Mine Safety Professionals, and he is the author of more than 70 publications, presentations and abstracts on occupational health and safety.
"One of the most effective ways to reduce risk and increase safety on the jobsite is through effective training from the start and where it counts – with the workers themselves," said Hethmon. "NAHETS has more than a decade of experience in providing the kind of rigorous training that has both immediate and long-term impact. As importantly, NAHETS is not only focused on ensuring quality training, but verifying competency, the next step. I look forward to adding to their already impressive track record."
The National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Services provides training and nationally-recognized certification in the operation of heavy construction equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, excavators, graders and cranes, as well as ready-mix driver certification. Certification is based on ADEPT, the Adaptable Equipment Proficiency Testing program that measures knowledge and abilities, including general knowledge of heavy equipment, heavy equipment safety, practical math applications, grades and site layout, soils, blueprint reading, basic earthmoving, and specific equipment functions. Recently NAHETS introduces their dynamic Train-the Trainer Course that prepares and certifies company trainers to present NAHETS' curriculum and conduct operator certification exams. Currently, more than 2,000 heavy equipment operators have received NAHETS certification, as well as almost 500 crane operators.
Through its Colleges of Construction in California, Oklahoma and Georgia, NAHETS has been providing comprehensive heavy-equipment training to military veterans and construction workers to meet industry needs throughout the country, from mining to construction and public works projects. "We provide this service in order to increase jobsite proficiency and reduce jobsite accidents because worker safety and quality training go hand-in-hand," said Robert List, former Governor of Nevada and current NAHETS Board chairman.
In addition, NAHETS offers outcome-based training and certifications on the jobsite and can create training and certification programs for specialized equipment. "Workforce education and safety instruction is an ongoing process," said Albano. "And we'll bring that service right to where the construction activity takes place."
With its corporate headquarters in Las Vegas, Nev., NAHETS has members at The Georgia College of Construction in Atlanta, The Oklahoma College of Construction in Oklahoma City, and the Northern California College of Construction in Stockton. At these schools, entry-level operators receive intense, innovative and flexible heavy equipment training, earning certification that exceeds industry standards and ensures that certified operators are safe and effective.

GROTON – Along with the advent the new Common Core curriculum being rolled out statewide and the new Smarter Balance test that goes with it comes the need for more computers and Internet bandwith.
Districts can stop stockpiling those No. 2's because the new tests will be given totally on line.
As such, the state is planning to dish out $24 million in technology grants to help districts add computers and upgrade technology.
Last week, Gov. Dannel Malloy announced the planned distribution of $24 million in technology grants — more than double the original $10 million allocated by the state for the project.
The state received 128 applications, covering 126 cities and towns across the state. Malloy told a convention of school board members and superintendents in Groton last week, he intended to hand out grants to all that applied.
By 2014-15, every public school district will administer the Smarter Balanced Assessment System and the state will sunset the administration of the math and English Connecticut Mastery and Connecticut Academic Performance tests. Some districts plan to start the new tests this spring.
The grant formula is based on town wealth and a 20 percent-80 percent sliding scale.
Here are what local communities will receive:
Ansonia $311,646
Bridgeport $899,797
Derby $115,527
Fairfield $167,376
Milford $230,474
Seymour $245,356
Shelton $256,897
Stratford $154,231
Trumbull $81,641

Some restorative techniques are simply easier and more effective with the "fluid" handling of a flowable restorative – which flows more easily into pits and fissures. For excellent results and product confidence, rely on 3M ESPE Filtek Z350 Flowable Restorative in your practice. It features 3M ESPE's unique nanotechnology, and offers everything you want from a flowable:
Test data indicates the excellent wear resistance of Filtek Z350 Flowable Restorative. SOURCE: 3M ESPE Internal Data
Conservative occlusal pit repair using Filtek™ Z350 Flowable Restorative
With a lighter viscosity, the restorative becomes more fluid, allowing you to direct it more easily into pits and fissures where other restoratives cannot penetrate as completely. At the same time, the material does not run or slump – but holds its shape prior to cure. Requires only a 20-second light cure.

The SKYLINE is a helmet destined for mainly tourist use. It encapsulates all the fundamental GT characteristics supplied with the HORIZON (comfort, sun visor, Bluetooth, etc.), but the plainer line without tope air vent, the micrometric strap instead of the DD and the less racingoriented graphics make it an easier helmet, suitable for a transversal target in terms of age and gender, for people who prefer Naked bikes.
The design of the SKYLINE largely reflects that of the S-4 SV, which it replaces in the range. Inspired by the lines that have characterised the innovations by AGV for several years now, it features a narrow, streamlined chin guard, the channels in the shell (derived from the IVS used in the RACE helmets), evident lines and edges on the sides. The end result is an extremely dynamic helmet with an innovative and immediately recognisable design. The removal of the holes and lateral grids not only gives the helmet a more compact look, but has made it possible to reduce turbulence and improve the aerodynamics.

hmm I almost agree everywhere, the shapes, drawing and ideas in it are fantastic, but the shape in the back looks too much like a brush, your drawing skills are so awesome, why do you use such a style break, also the colors need to be more intensive for my taste,
rock on, please don't be offended

The bill would require the sellers of ink cartridges to state how many pages the cartridge in question can print.
"Some of these cartridges only print 200 pages," Assemblyman Gary Chiusano told me.
I hadn't known it was that bad. For 200 pages they charge $25?
The Republican from Sparta went on to inform me that there's so little ink in some of the damn things that the cost exceeds the ink's weight in gold.
So he's pushing for truth in labeling. I'm all for it. If these guys can sell ink at that price, they can use a little bit of it to tell me how much I'm getting.

MetroPCS 'Connects' with 18,000 at Maryland Zoo
Back-to-School Event Breaks Attendance Record
Ursula V. Battle, The Baltimore Times | 8/23/2013, 10:15 a.m.
MetroPCS "connected" with thousands of Maryland residents after taking over the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. On Tuesday, August 20, 2013, the no-contract wireless leader celebrated the final days of summer break by offering free admission to the public. MetroPCS also partnered with Elev8 to provide a backpack full of school supplies to over 100 students in the program, which offers a variety of services to ensure students succeed in life.
The event drew a record-breaking attendance of 18,000, who traveled from all over the state to take advantage of the free admission and to enjoy a late summer outing before the start of the school year. The previous single-day attendance record at the Zoo was 8,000.
"I traveled here from Harford County with my children and the children in my daycare," said Shakira Belton. "It is a fun day for the children before school starts. I heard about the event on the radio. The fact that it was free was perfect. I am also going to look into their wireless plan. It sounds very affordable."
According to MetroPCS, it covered the admission cost of all of the attendees, and sought to celebrate its nationwide 4G service launch in Baltimore through the event.
"This event exceeded our expectations," said John C. Shelton, Vice President/Regional General Manager of MetroPCS Baltimore/Washington. "We never expected to see so many people. Clearly, today has been a big hit. The weather is perfect, and this event provides a great opportunity to get students out and re-energized for the school year."
Founded in 1876, The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is the third oldest zoo in the United States and is internationally known for its contributions in conservation and research. Situated in Druid Hill Park, over 1,500 animals are represented in the Zoo's varied natural habitats.
"When we were planning this event, we looked at all of the venue possibilities that were out there," said Shelton. "We selected the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore due to location, accessibility, convenience, size, and ability to accommodate large crowds. It worked out perfectly. We are ecstatic. Our partnership with the Zoo has been first class."
The event took place from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. with a steady stream of Zoo visitors entering
the Zoo gates throughout the day. MetroPCS also offered the first 200 visitors to the Zoo
with "MetroPCS' VIP" Zoo experience. The Zoo's 'early birds' were granted with special access
to an exclusive area full of refreshments and special take home gifts.
According to MetroPCS, it has grown to the #1 no annual contract wireless network brand in the majority of the markets it serves by offering convenience, choice and flexibility for consumers. A flagship brand operated by T-Mobile US, Inc., MetroPCS products and services are available online and across the United States through a network of company-owned stores, authorized dealer locations, and leading national retailers.
"The event also provides an opportunity for us to tell our story about what we are offering in our '$40, period' rate plan," said Shelton. "We wanted to put our imprint in the Baltimore marketplace. People can't believe we have a $40 data, talk, and text plan with no hidden fees, but we do. They want to know 'what's the catch'? There is no catch. Today, we have booths set-up to hand out materials about our plans, and where people can sign-up. Our market is not age restrictive – it's value conscious."
Shelton added, "We are focused on the metropolitan market. Baltimore City and Baltimore County is where we want to be.
"We also want to give back to the community."
Nancy Hinds is Executive Vice President of Institutional Advancement for the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.
"We were happy that MetroPCS decided to have this event at the Maryland Zoo," said Hinds. "This was our biggest crowd ever. It's unbelievable. We thank MetroPCS for making it all happen."

Today, I was closing the deal on this beautiful $200k ranch in the country. The buyer soon pulls up and we get to discussing the contract terms, soon the buyer asks the seller," Wow why is this house going so cheap?" The seller replies, "Do you believe in ghosts?" There goes my $8,000 commission. FML

According to KOB-FM in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the University of New Mexico may be hiring a new football coach, and that coach just might be former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach.
Leach was terminated by Texas Tech after an incident involving his treatment of an injured player, and he has since taken up broadcasting as a college football analyst for CBS Sports.
Leach was the winningest coach in Texas Tech history (in any sport), and the 0-3 New Mexico Lobos could sure use his guidance.
Current Lobos coach Mike Locksley has a pathetic 1-14 record with the team, and he has been suspended for some questionable off-field behavior.
The University of New Mexico has not confirmed this rumor, but a coach like Leach could help to revive their football team.
However, the Lobos should proceed with caution when hiring Leach, and here's why.

My baby is 6 days old. My milk came in the morning of day 4. At first I was having a lot of trouble nursing her on both breasts. My nipples were purple and sore. My right nipple became cracked. I was using the lanolin cream and it helped my left nipple a lot. My midwife came to visit 3 days ago and she said that I had to move baby over more in front of me as I had her positioned more over my breast. She said I wanted to get baby to tilt her head back a little. Baby is latching well on the left breast but continues to have difficulties at times on the right one.
My nipple is no longer purple or hurting as bad. There is still a bit of pain but I think it's just going to be getting used to having a baby suck from there again (I nursed my first daughter for 16 months). Anyway, today I have a bit of pain to the right of my nipple and towards the bottom of my breast. The rest of my breast is quite squishy after she feeds but this part remains pretty hard.
Do you think it could be a blocked duct?
She is also having trouble sometimes latching on to the breast. It could be right in her mouth and she is having trouble sucking. She is more pursing down instead of sucking. She looks all over for it and I think becomes a bit frustrated. It took 5 minutes the other day to get her to latch properly.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I think I may call my local la leche league tomorrow to see if I can go in to speak to someone. With my first daughter I had some issues at the beginning and they were great!

'The Universe Ireland: Largest Ship in the World, Bantry Bay 1968',
The Universe Ireland was for a time the largest ship in the world. With the hostilities in the Middle East in the late 1960's and 70's, the Suez Canal was closed down. This heralded the era of the ULCC or Ultra Large Crude Carrier. The unprecedented scale of these massive tankers became economical as they now had to take the longer journey from Saudi Arabia and the oil producing Emirate states around the cape of Good Hope to get to Europe.
Typically these ships were too big for conventional European ports and so natural deep water harbours were selected. Bantry Bay in South West Ireland was hence chosen as the site for one of these new ports from which the cargo of Middle eastern crude would be distributed to refineries around Europe. Other ULCCs built as part of the Universe-class fleet include the Universe Kuwait, Universe Japan, Universe Portugal, Universe Iran and the Universe Korea.
With the reopening of the Suez Canal these tankers' size quickly became uneconomical. Bantry Bays role as a significant node within geo-political story of European energy security was rescinded. Whiddy Island within the Bay is now the site of Ireland's Strategic Oil Reserve in case of future disruptions in supply from the Middle East.

I dont know, its hard to tell, teams, coaches, and styles of play have a huge role. Anthony randolph was considered to be a three or four years down the road type of player yet under nelson he put up significant numbers in the second half of last season and appears to be on his way to being a solid player. Danny granger instance as well was lucky that the veterans and management of the pacers fell apart after the brawl in detroit therefore leaving open an opportunity for him to play minutes and become a leader there. If danny granger was drafted late by a team like the spurs he would be coming off of the bench playing 20 mins a game. No one can predict what a player will do based on ratings, yes you can say this guy will be a good pro, but honestly it all depends on how a coach will use him. Marcus williams was a highly touted college prospect who got high ratings and he has vanished from the face of the earth. Even guys like dwayne wade no one could of seen him coming, he was similar to a tyreke evans prospect coming out of college, or even gerald henderson from the ratings I have seen, and now is he DWADE nba finals mvp. DIrk nowitzki who could of envisioned that guy doing what he is doing other than don nelson. Nash out of santa clara, back to back mvps ????. Al jefferson was considered a bust after his first 2 seasons, now in the west hes putting up 23-11. Kyle lowry traded for brandon roy lol. MY point is while discussing this and over reacting to hollinger ratings and draft express and nbadraft.net may be a fun way to lead up to the draft, the bottom line is, unlike the 80s and early 90s barring the recent Lebron james, Carmelo, Durant, types no one is a sure shot any more to be a star, mainly because other than welll the knicks lol every team pretty much has an established go to guy. Chris paul was considered a shoot first poor leadership ability selfish player when he was drafted, now hes the best pg in the league. Plus you have to remember, no one even know who danillo gallinari or andrea bargaini were until like 2 days before draft night when rumors began spilling over.
I love the chatter, but im not paying attention to ratings, ty lawson could be another chris paul, or he could be another tyus edny.
I say we just let the draft happen, and well come back to this three years from now.

Hello Stranger,
My name is Rixa and like you, I was born somewhere on the planet Earth, sometime ago. I don't remember much of those early years. But I do remember breathing, believing and living in the stories and poems my parents used to read to me.
I touched Melodica and fell in love with playing music, when I was six. As a self-taught artist, I kept playing my electric Melodica and later a professional keyboard and piano, until entering to university. I have had my share with Enigma, Jean Michel Jarre, Yanni, Vangelis, Kitaro, Era, Sandra, Madonna and Michael Jackson since I was a teenager.
While studying at university, I joined the internet wave and opened an IT service with two colleagues that was very successful in no time. My golden years lasted only 6 years as my partnership became my nightmare. I kept that very last inch of mine and walked away with nothing, experiencing my business partners' betrayal and injustice, but I still don't understand why they betrayed me like that.
During business years, I traveled the world and I met my Yoda accidentally (though, I do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence) and learnt a big deal of life through my challenge with him.
Wealth and social power were the ultimate outcomes of those successful days, but as the hearts of men are easily corrupted, the fellowship was beginning to fade into a desire for more power. I opened my eyes and I felt that I was waking up from a deep dream. Spending 1001 days in solitary, I slowly experienced being disappeared to the world and for the first time in my life, I was extremely "Empty".
Tired of the masks we are all wearing, I started to wear a white mask. "One mask to hide them all". Beneath my mask, there is a face, but it is not me anymore. I hope this white mask to eliminate your imagination and gives you an empty mind to take my hand, look into my heart and let my music touch your heart somewhere along the way in our journey.
I created Silentaria project to be "The Voice of Emptiness" and through "The Beginning of the End", the first album in "The Inner Journey" sequel, I "Emerge"d. Music became my meditation and producing 101 albums and 1001 songs made my goal for sharing my life journey toward Emptiness. Then in "What's Real?" I have recalled the concept that what we believe and experience may not be real.
I do not know who you are and I may never see you or get drunk with you, but if you are reading this, it is an honor to have you here.
Thank you for joining and walking with me through this journey.

It's Always "Rankings Rankings Rankings"
SEO has always been "Rankings Rankings, Rankings." Well, I have a revelation for you! You DON'T need them to drive traffic, sell products, and have clients. Rankings are a side effect, not a product.
Now I know what many of you are asking, if I am not in the SERPS,
"Where shall I go? What shall I do?"
Perhaps I should Explain? No?
Explanation -Why Rankings Don't Matter
Rankings are a thing of the past, they were used in the olden days to mark your keyword territory and to gain foot traffic on your website. Now, while this still technically applies today, Rankings should not ever be your primary concern when running a campaign. Rankings like I state previously, are a side effect, a mere symptom that occurs when SEO and SEM are put into place. So how does one get traffic? How will I sell my product? How will anyone know who I am?
You work for it. Most good actors had to work like dogs to get where they are, most good CEO's had to work like oxen, most SEO's who are well respected had to work their absolute butts off to become so!
That is what you need to do(not necessarily the work part), get respect! With social media now exploding, with the amount of blogs out there, with the variety of mediums you have at your disposal, you need to increase the YOU!
Think of it this way, a company, or person for that matter, that you highly respect, recommends a product, a book, a website, that they themselves respect; what are you going to do? You're going to check it out that's what! Even if just to see what it is!
Now to answer your questions from earlier…
Let's Start With Traffic
If I am not ranking, how do I get traffic? First off, many people are looking at this wrong, yes, wrong. Traffic is not what matters, what matters is the quality of that traffic and the conversion rate of that traffic.
So how do we pump up conversion? Target your site's demographic, and write for that demographic. You need to separate yourself from the others, becoming a site that is distinguished, not by price, but by quality, ethics, and level of respect. You want people to say, "You went to Jared!" or in simpler terms, you want people to be impressed, to feel honored to even be working with you! That my friends, is the goal.
I don't care if you hate and loathe Rand Fishkin from the very depths of your soul, if you were given the chance to work with him on a project, you would still feel honored by it. Not to mention you would gain automatic respect, even if your an a-hole. This is true even if he responded to your article, I can't count how many times I have begun following an RSS due to someone writing a Reply/Rebuttal Post to someone else.
So anyways, back to getting this traffic thing, PPC. There…I said it. You want customers, buyers, and leads? Use PPC, Ads, commercials, and social media. Why? You need to smack your brand everywhere. As long as you optimize your site, write content, and gain the respect of your peers and customers, organic results and rankings will follow.
You see how that title is all angry and capitalized. That's how I feel about people who do not advertise and or inform actual foot traffic of their existence. If you are an SEO Company and you are targeting small business, start locally, do a free seminar at the chamber of commerce, talk with local business owners, use flyers, use posters, use billboards.
You know distilled right? You probably know SEER as well, yah? Well did you know that to get where they are, they did not just open up a site and say, come search us! They more than likely pitched the local companies in their area, then increased that area, and eventually became big enough that companies now go to them!
That my friends is how you do it, start local, start small, you don't just become a firm and pitch Walmart, you start and practice with the locals around you.
Same for e-commerce, inform everyone locally, in your area, your town, your county, your state, your region. It is magic my friends. The rankings will build themselves.
But I Am Unknown! No one will Listen to me!
Horse Poop! If you pay attention, stay up to date, and have relevant things to say, people will listen. It is also the reason why you need to build your personal brand and your business brand. Even better, take a look at probably one of the greatest Marketers and Promoters of our time! Andy Warhol. Man was a genius self promoter and marketer, he changed the world of consumerism as we know it!
Point is, if you write well, provide informative content, and market yourself effectively, you will get traffic, you will get leads, and you will sell product.
How will anyone know who I am?
Through Networking, volunteering, guest posting, writing responses to others, using twitter…etc…etc…etc.
Put yourself out there, voice your opinion. Email people you respect in your industry, tell them why you respect them, and tell them how much you admire them, and ask them about how they were able to make it to where they are, and what advice they have for a person, or company, that is trying to follow in their footsteps.
(Notice it is all about them and Not you, this is networking 101 people.)
So DO NOT worry about your Rankings
Rankings will worry about themselves. Apply best practices, network, and gain respect. That is what the game of internet marketing is all about. If people respect you, they will listen to what you have to say, if they listen to what you say, you can tell them any damn thing you want and they will believe you. So you tell them to buy, they buy, you tell them to go left, they will go left. Consumers as a group want people to lead them, to tell them where to go, what to wear, what to buy, how to buy it, when to use it. Marketing and psychology are the staffs that guide the sheep.
Life is an Adventure Guys, Go Forth and Enjoy!
rank, SEO, rankings

Hey all, my finance is coming to the US from the PRC on Dec 27... the original plan was to get married sometime in February but then she suggested maybe it would be a better idea to visit city hall on December 31 to register our marriage and get a nice tax break. Since she has no taxable income in 2010 I thought, by JOVE, maybe this is a good idea?!?!?! Any incite on this guys? Is this a good idea? As she is an immigrant will I still get the same tax break??
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can. Important issue is for you to have the SSN before the year end. If you have a SSN only you can claim.

You only need the SSN when you file taxes. Don't need it to get married. I don't know where people get these strange ideas.
Posted 16 December 2010 - 01:53 AM
I think the assumption here was that they had to be married before Dec 31 in order to be able to file jointly for the current year.

Getting married before the end of the year is like having a kid at the end of the year for tax purposes--you get to claim the deduction for the whole year. You will need the SSN for when you file the taxes and depending on the SSA office near you that may or may not happen, but as long as you are getting a refund or pay the taxes due you can file for an extension until the SSN comes in.
I am planning on getting married the 30th of December as it is one year after I proposed. The Fiancee is arriving this Sunday so I cannot wait. And I will be filing my taxes as married filing jointly as it reduces my taxes by some $8500. I would check out the difference between filing single and married filing jointly for you tax bracket, but you are going to find that filing as a married couple will benefit you finacially, plus it is one more piece of evidence for the AOS packet.
Good luck and congrats on your fiancee arriving.
Posted 16 December 2010 - 03:22 AM
They do, but they don't need to get the SSN before December 31. They just need to get the SSN before they file the tax return. My wife and I married on December 29, but we didn't go to the SSA office until January. We filed a joint return for 2009 without any problems.

Just remember that when you file joint tax return she needs to report her all her income worldwide, which includes her income in China during 2010 tax year. She probably did not have to pay any tax on this in China. It may not be always advantageous to get married before year end if it means you have to pay more taxes.

pushbrk, if one has income in the US and overseas for any particular year, does the income from overseas become also taxed? or does the 80k rule still exempt the overseas earned income?
Unless she made more than eighty thousand US dollars in China during 2010, all her foreign income is exempt from US taxes anyway. You report it, but not tax is due. It's a non issue for nearly all people.

""How many leaders actively seek out and encourage views alien and at odds with their own? All too few...Who in your organization serves as your Challenger In Chief? Interrogating the choices you are considering making? Making you consider the uncontemplated, the unimaginable and that which contradicts or refutes your position? And also challenging you?""
Up Front: April 2013
I have always maintained that the best people on our team–those who bring the most creativity and fresh ideas to the table–are the ones who have varied and passionate interests outside the office. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems that the world (or at least the workplace) conspires against us being able to develop such interests.
Nothing inspires me more than the ballet, for example, and I am fortunate enough to live in New York City, where I have firsthand access to some of the most exquisite ballet in the world. Yet every year, I almost decide to not invest in season tickets, because I start to think about how I won't have time, it's too expensive, I have too many emails to get through, it's too stressful getting to Lincoln Center during rush hour, etc. But then I do go, and the experience always makes everything I encounter afterwards seem more vibrant; the ballet gives me a different perspective on the world, my family and work. Therefore, the investment in season tickets is, as they say, priceless.
Of course, one person's inspiration is another person's waste of time. For my husband, for example, the ballet is a slow torture–the Washington Redskins are what inspires him. But it really doesn't matter what it is that gets your heart beating faster, as long as it does.
For BJT editor Jeff Burger, one out-of-the-office passion is music, and especially that of Bruce Springsteen, whom Jeff admires not only for his performing and songwriting but for his worldview and morality. To find out why, check out Jeff's just-published book Springsteen on Springsteen: Interviews, Speeches, and Encounters. Even if you're new to Bruce's soulful music, you will likely be inspired by this thoughtful compilation of his musings over four decades.

British Tennis Star Elena Baltacha, 30, Dies From Liver Cancer
British tennis star Elena Baltacha died over the weekend after battling liver cancer. Baltacha, 30, passed away at her English home on Sunday morning.
Her husband and former coach Nino Severino said in a statement: "We are heartbroken beyond words at the loss of our beautiful, talented and determined Bally. She was an amazing person and she touched so many people with her inspirational spirit, her warmth and her kindness."
The couple wed in December, and Baltacha was diagnosed with cancer in January. She had battled a chronic liver condition, primary sclerosing cholangitis, since she was a teenager.
Baltacha was born in Ukraine and moved with her family to England in 1989. Her father was a professional soccer player, and her mother competed in the pentathlon and heptathlon at the Olympics.
Baltacha retired from her professional career last year. She won 11 singles titles and four doubles titles during her 16-year-career.

Source: Naomi Campbell 'Has Hit Drivers Before'
"She wants to control everyone all the time."
An anonymous ex-employee of Naomi Campbell, who was recently accused of hitting her chauffeur, says: "She has hit drivers before. She wants to control everyone all the time. She wants to have everything go how she wants it to go. She's usually late and the driver takes the heat for not getting her there fast enough. She might want him to run a light and he won't. It can be a small thing that escalates and she freaks out! The driver won't turn down the air conditioning. Naomi doesn't like it too cold, as it hurts her throat. If the driver doesn't fix it immediately, her emotions can quickly turn to rage!" [NYDN]

The Best Goodbye - Thank You for 5 Years
Over 5 years ago, I started City and Dale. From the beginning my intention was for the site to act as an open love letter to the city I choose to call home, Edmonton. I wanted to share the best in fun, eats, fashion, shopping and happenings. By blogging regularly, I created a digital space for others to explore Edmonton. During this time, business owners invited me into their shops and restaurants. I attended cool events. I met great people. I had so many coffee dates with passionate Edmontonians. I shared the contributions of people committed to building a great city. We're finally arriving. Five years ago, I felt passionately Edmonton had stories that needed to be shared. Now, there's more people telling the stories of Edmonton – through podcasts, websites, blogs, instagram, twitter, video - making City and Dale less relevant. It makes me really happy.
A lot happens in five years. Personally, I married. I moved into my thirties. I started a company. My interests changed. Two years ago, I mostly stepped away from City and Dale because I craved more time with people and less time with my computer. Already a contributor at the time, Gillian Thomson, took over City and Dale including the managing, writing and storytelling. For two years, Gillian's done a remarkable job. Through Gillian's experience with City and Dale, she discovered her favourite aspect was interviewing the people building our city. This transformed into her latest project – The Noteworthy (it's awesome!).
It's the right time for City and Dale to end. As with most goodbyes, there are an impossible number of people to thank. So I'll keep it simple: Thank you to everyone who spent time in our little digital corner. Unlike most goodbyes, this one is not sad. This project has run its course. I can't wait to see what we – the city, the people, the creatives – create next.
Thank you for sharing 5+ years with us.
With gratitude,
Kendall & Gillian
Keep in touch with Kendall: Twitter, Instagram
Keep in touch with Gillian: Twitter, Instagram
p.s. You can always go back through our Edmonton discoveries in the City and Dale Archives.

It happens every time there's a major tournament. For better or worse, how players perform in the few short weeks of a World Cup or European Championship can often determine how they're viewed by fans, commentators and other clubs, and a handful of good performances can be enough to land a big-money move.
More often than not, moves based on a brief international competition don't work out for clubs in the long term, but that doesn't stop them trying and we'll almost certainly see several moves in and out of Serie A this summer on the back of Brazil 2014.
Here are five players who could be making a move.

It's a very magical holiday season as both Christmas and Hanukkah fall upon the same release week. Will the December blues continue with yet another bah-humbug release week or could a release from a galaxy far far away have gamers yelling, "Ho, Ho, Ho"?
Unfortunately, console fans get nothing but downloadable games while portable gamers get NADA (Nothing And Don't Ask).
The most publicized release this week is easily Star Wars: The Old Republic, BioWare's massively multiplayer online role-playing game based in the Star Wars universe releases to much fanfare for the PC.
The big multiplat release this week is Trine 2, a side-scrolling action platform and puzzle gamel developed by Frozenbyte. The online co-op adventure will be available on PSN and XBLA this week.
Over the past five years it's been abundantly clear that Zombies + almost anything = big $$$. So why not Zombies and Vampires? Vampires vs. Zombies has nothing to do with the Plants vs Zombies franchise, but will feature addictive game play in the vein of the Farm Frenzy franchise. It will be available this week for the PC.
Pick of the Week – I can't deny the the amount of fun that can be enjoyed from online c0-op action. Which is one of the reason why Trine 2 deserves a good. At the same time, the attraction to an online mmorpg which takes place in the Star Wars Universe is undeniable, despite $15 a month subscription fees. Star Wars: The Old Republic
Check out the full list of releases below.
PlayStation 3
- Sonic CD (PSN)
- Trine 2 (PSN)
Xbox 360
- Trine 2 (XBLA)
- Star Wars: The Old Republic
- Star Wars: The Old Republic CE
- Vampires vs. Zombies
Have a Happy Hanukkah and a Very Merry Christmas!

James Morris '09 PHD spends his time plotting defenses for invasions. No, he doesn't work for the Department for Homeland Security, and he's not in the military.
Morris, who did his doctoral work at NC State's Center for Marine Sciences and Technology (CMAST), is an ecologist at the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science's Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research in Beaufort, N.C. In our upcoming issue of NC State magazine, we profile his work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on invasive species, like Asian tiger shrimp and lionfish, that have come into North Carolina's waters. (Photo courtesy of the National Ocean Service)
But Morris' work goes beyond those invasive pests. He's also a leading researcher in the field of aquaculture, which is the cultivation of marine species and aquatic life for either consumption by humans or for use in biofuels. From its use on trout or catfish farms to its implementation in the ocean, aquaculture is a science that's meaning more these days with the demand for seafood constantly growing while supplies are flatlining.
"There are job creation opportunities," Morris says. "There are a lot of reasons we think marine aquaculture is poised to expand."
One of Morris' areas of focus is on cage culture. It's a technique where fish are cultivated in a large aquapods, like the one seen in the picture here (photo by Snapperfarm), or cages, that are submerged in the ocean. Up until recently, it has been used in a few areas in the country, like the Northwest, where cages have been used to cultivate salmon. Morris says there's also cage culture in the Northeast and in the Bahamas.
With advances in the engineering of those cages, which can actually be steered now, and the research that Morris does concerning the impacts on marine life and water quality, cage culture could expand in the U.S.
"Many of those impacts can be avoided if siting happens in a proper way," Morris says. "We could see activity in the Gulf of Mexico. There's activity in the Southwest."
But Morris doesn't forecast a growing cage culture for North Carolina, where it's never been tried.
"In the Southeast, it's going to be difficult to do aquaculture in the sea," Morris says. "It just gets so rough. It's such a shallow shelf. I'm not saying it's not completely doable, but we're not sure about it right now."

This sweet 9" tall German doll from the Goebel firm wears her original commercial outfit, dating to late 1880s-90s. The mark on the back of the head is difficult to make out but should be a crown over entwined WG.
She has a bisque head with solid dome and flange neck, on a 5 piece composition body. Note the black boots with painted straps up the front of the legs. Her bright blue glass eyes are fixed in place, not sleep eyes. She has a blond mohair wig held on through sew hole in top of head as well as some glue.
Her factory original outfit includes a sweet little faded teal blue dropped waist dress in wool challis, with lace trim and a panel of deep red velvet down the front. Her bonnet is wine colored satin with a band of woven straw over the top. She has lace trimmed undergarments.
Condition: There is one wig pull on the doll's upper right forehead, but no chips, cracks or any other damage to the bisque. The ribbon on her bonnet is replaced. There is some minor loss to the woven straw band on top of the bonnet.
She is a rare and early example of this type of doll.
This item is offered on behalf of the Coleman Collection. Other select items will be posted from this collection as well.

The Cheapest Way of Retiring
But contrary to its purpose, saving can actually be rather expensive. Between management fees, commissions and taxes, the amount of lost savings can be overwhelming. Luckily, we eliminated the main management fees by choosing a self-managed retirement account. Furthermore, we used a Roth retirement account, which allows for tax-free withdrawals starting at age 59-1/2.
Management fees on ETFs and mutual funds are much cheaper than those associated with investment specialists. The only way to avoid management fees in ETFs and mutual funds is to simply not invest in them.
However, that would leave you with the bold task of selecting individual stocks and bonds. This task is extremely difficult, as Wall Street's smartest gunslingers continually try (and often times fail) to simply beat the S&P 500. While there will be no management fees associated with individual stocks, there are commissions that need to be paid for each purchase and each sale.
There are now many online brokerages that offer commission-free investing for select mutual funds and ETFs. Not to be construed as recommendations, but there's E-Trade
Also, each firm has a different list of what can be purchased or sold, free of charge. Using a Roth IRA, there may be no minimum investment required to start, though this varies from firm to firm. Of course, the catch is that you typically have to hold the ETFs for 30 days or more, while holding mutual funds for up to 90 days or more.
If we're focused on the long term, though -- which we are, just to be clear -- then these holding periods should play no role in the decision-making process. So the question quickly becomes: Management fees on funds or commission rates on stocks?
While using an approach such as automatic investing, which can be as cheap as $1 per transaction (for purchases only), it's hard to fight the incredibly low fees on some ETFs and mutual funds these days.

As a follow up to our post last week, How To Create A Travel Blog, we'd like to share some of our favorite WordPress plugins that would be helpful specifically to travel bloggers. Like we said before, if you're thinking about making a travel blog, you should seriously consider setting up your own site with WordPress.
WordPress is a great blogging tool made even better by the huge community of contributors. There are tons of plugins out there, but here are just a few that we find incredibly useful for travel bloggers. We've also listed some of the best "must have" plugins for all bloggers at the end for those of you that are just now getting started with your blog setup.
Editorial Calendar
Staying organized as a blogger is hard enough, and even harder while you're on the road. This plugin gives you a calendar view of your future posts so that you can efficiently schedule when your audience will read about your adventures.
Travel Map (or download here)
Traveling and maps go hand in hand. There are about a million map plugins for WordPress, but we like this one because it lets you plot a route. Then you can display the whole route, parts of it, or a table version of your itinerary.
Slickr Flickr
If you use Flickr to show off your photos, this is one of the best WordPress-Flickr plugins around. You can display galleries, slideshows, single photos, light boxes, and more.
SEO Friendly Images
Travel bloggers usually have lots of photos, and you want yours to get the attention they deserve, right? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can help more people find your blog and photos, and be a very important source of your traffic. This plugin gives your photos the added boost that WordPress doesn't do out of the box.
Finally, here's a list of must have plugins for every WordPress blog.
