Here's a little ditty from one of our shop guys Brett Spur. Mish Mash is just something Brett put together for fun made up of random clips he collected over the summer. It was all filmed right here at home in the great state of Minnesota and all the skaters are indigenous as well. In a very vague and not necessarily correct order, Mish Mash features the likes of Corey Millet, Timmy Johnson, Blake Madson, Dylan Beesley, Jack Olson, Eli Rashad, Kevin Heger, Shane Webber (who also works in the shop here at The House) and Jordan Danielson. It's pretty sick, keep at it boys!

Permal tech fund's tactics see 16.2% gain
Like a quarterback looking to make a winning pass into the end zone, the portfolio team behind the Permal Media & Technology Fund went long and deep in May.

Stuttering is a developmental communication disorder that affects approximately one in 20 preschoolers;it typically begins between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Of the preschool children who experience stuttering, approximately 25% will develop a persistent stuttering problem. Because most preschoolers who begin to stutter will recover, parents are typically told to "wait-and-see." However, this is not the best course of action for children who are likely to persist and who would most benefit from immediate treatment. It is critical that these children are identified and receive appropriate treatment to reduce the likelihood that stuttering will become a chronic lifelong disorder. Persistent stuttering in older children and adults can have dramatically negative consequences for the individual's educational, employment, and social opportunities. The goal of this project is to improve our ability to predict persistence or recovery from stuttering when children are 4 and 5- years-old. We will use a variety of physiological and behavioral tests to determine which factors are most important in contributing to persistent stuttering. It is generally agreed among researchers that important factors contributing to the development of persistent stuttering include motor, language, and emotional components. It is also widely accepted that the importance of these components varies among individual children who stutter. Therefore our approach to the problem of predicting risk of persistent stuttering is to find the variables that can be entered ino an equation to predict each child's risk. Examples of these variables include speech motor coordination, linguistic proficiency, and emotional reactivity. A better understanding of the factors producing stuttering in early childhood will allow us then to determine what critical components need to be assessed to predict persistence of stuttering. Another goal of our project is to develop a battery of clinical tests that can be used by the clinician to assess risk or persistent stuttering in preschoolers. This clinical battery would include tests such as standardized language tests, speech motor skill tests, and questionnaires used to assess the child's temperament. If the clinician determines, on the basis of this battery, that the child is likely to persist, he/she can design a treatment program suited to that child's specific needs. For example, a stuttering child who is weak in language proficiency and strongly emotionally reactive to his or her own stuttering would most likely benefit from a different treatment strategy compared to a child with immature speech motor skills and high linguistic proficiency.
This project is directly relevant to the mission of NIDCD due to its focus on improving the ability to effectively diagnose children who are most likely to have chronic communication disorder, identifying the most beneficial treatment strategy for each individual, and equipping clinicians with additional tools to serve children who stutter and their families.

The National League of Cities (NLC) publishes its State of the Cities report to provide a comprehensive analysis of city trends based on annual State of the City addresses from mayors across the country. Our State of the Cities 2015 analysis is derived from 100 cities and represents a diverse cross section of population sizes and geographic regions.
Key findings from this year's report:
For the second consecutive year, economic development was the most commonly addressed topic in mayoral speeches, with three out of four speeches (75%) in this year's sample devoting significant coverage to the issue.
Issues concerning infrastructure (57%), public safety (55%) and budgets (43%) were also commonly addressed.
In light of recent events concerning race relations and policing in cities, many mayors discussed issues concerning race, equity and opportunity and proposed initiatives to establish more successful and socially cohesive cities.
Cities used in the 2015 sample:
Coverage of top line issues didn't vary significantly by region, although differences emerge in the way these issues play out and are addressed within regions. For example, within infrastructure, mayors in the West were more likely to discuss bikes and bike lanes than those in other regions, whereas mayors from cities in the Midwest, often with aging infrastructure, were more likely to discuss sewers.
Topic rank by region:
The amount of attention an issue received depended on the size of the mayor's city. For example, mayors from the largest cities were much more likely than those from smaller cities to discuss demographics, economic development, housing and education in their speeches. Infrastructure and budget issues were the most commonly covered topics by mayors from mid-sized cities, and public safety was a chief concern of mayors from small cities.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Dad83 Great Starter Bat! Purchased this bat for my 6 year old daughter who was in her first year of softball. Bat was light and and easy for her to swing. Had more pop to it than I expected! We will be upgrading bats but only because she is wanting to pursue softball a little more seriously. Perfect starter bat and affordable. Overall myself and my daughter were pleased with this bat! July 14, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by mchalfant softball bat problems Horrible used it one time for softball and it was all dented April 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by BigD Perfect Tball Bat Both my girls can use this bat very well. Great bat for a 6-7 year old girl learning to play softball. April 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bbigboy0569 Great bat for her age. This bat is great for her age group. At first, I wanted to get her a 24 in but now I am glad we got the 25 in. She chokes up a little and she is killing the ball. April 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Momlovesbaseball Wanted to love this bat My husband and 6 yr. old daughter selected this bat for her first year in machine pitch softball. While it says T-ball bat, it was in the fast pitch section and was sold as being used for fastpitch. First practice with the machine, our 6 yr. old dented her bat in three places. She is incredibly strong for her age, but really? On the bright side, I contacted Worth about the issue, and they are replacing the bat under warranty. Unfortunately, we will still need to find her a stronger bat. The most disappointing part for our daughter is that she loved the look of this bat. In her words, this bat was pink and powerful looking, perfect for girl power! March 19, 2014

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 82 reviews
We chose to stay in Pompeii to visit the archeological site and mount Vesuvius. The location was quite convenient. Very close to one of the entrances to the archeological site as well as close to the main highway. As for the hotel room, we were booked into a double room where the bathroom is too tiny and uncomfortable. You could barely move in the shower. We asked to switch rooms and we were attended. We have no complaints of the second room - it met our expectation. As a plus it had an amazing view of the mount Vesuvius. The staff in general were quite friendly and helpful.
I stayed here with my wife and three children on the last night of our vacation on return from Positano to airport in Naples for flight home to US the next morning. We planned to visit the Pompeii ruins and the hotel was in very close proximity (walking distance) to the ruins. The hotel is very clean, no frills hotel. It has limited services but the family that runs it is very nice and accomodating and the price range was perfect after a long vacation. The airconditioning in rooms was fantastic!! And they recommended a very nice place for lunch and dinner.
The owner was prepared for us. He had the internet password ready to go, and a map of the ruins with highlighted areas which were great. The breakfast, though small was tasty; and my wife loved the cappuccino. Check in and check out was super fast, and the price was as advertised. The room was clean, the shower was hot and high pressure. Everyone was friendly, and though I do not speak Italian, I clearly understood them. Best of all, the entrance to the ruins was within a couple hundred meters. All together, a great experience. Thank you from my wife and myself.
Hotel Iside was exactly what we were hoping for. It was conveniently located near Pompeii, lots of restaurants and a grocery store. It was simple but clean, quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was simple but had a little something for everyone. I'd stay there again without hesitation.
The daughter receptionist was soo helpful and sweet, she really made my stay in Pompeii awesome and not want to leave but alas how long could i keep looking at ruins??
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

I have dry and frizzy hair. I wanted a natural good product hat that would minimize the damage caused by styling products. This shampoo did make my hair soft and less frizzy. My hair became more manageable after using this product. It's brown in color and smells like henna. Does not lather much and will have to use more product to remove oil after a hair massage. But I loved this shampoo for my dry frizzy curly hair.

I like of lot of the work Pastor Bell does on social issues, but this is an absolutely silly stunt.
What difference does God make?
About a year ago a friend and Episcopal priest, told me her atheist friend asked her this question. She found it harder to answer than she expected. He had batted away her first few attempts and she was now running it by me. We didn't end up discussing it for very long but the question has stayed with me. Recently I decided I would find out, by living for a year without God.
I was more or less raised in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. My parents were United Methodists when I was born in 1971 in Parma, Ohio — a suburb on the west side of Cleveland. When I was six years old my parents' marriage started to come apart and in an effort to save it, we all ended up with my mom's parents in Southern California. Part of the effort to save their marriage must have been a renewed commitment to their Christian faith, this time in the Seventh-day Adventist dialect of my grandparents.
From that time until early 2013, I lived within the family of the church. My relationship with God and the church has taken many turns — a story for another time — but I always managed to maintain the tension between the relatively unchanging demands of the church, my growing understanding of God, and my own personal experience of the world. I realize now that this tension was always there. These relationships were never easy for me. Whether during my fundamentalist phase, during college, or my growing progressive convictions in recent years, I always had a nagging sense that I didn't fit. So, naturally, I became a pastor. Since 1991 I have either been a pastor or in school developing my skills to be a better pastor. When I felt that I couldn't do it anymore I was convinced, by myself and others, that I could make my best contribution from inside rather than outside the church. So I stayed.
As it turns out, the day came when I really didn't fit within the church anymore. I had been an outspoken critic of the church's approach to our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered members — that approach being exclusion or, at best, second class membership ("we won't kick you out but you can't participate in leadership"). Through the years, I had also been a critic of the church's treatment of women, their approach to evangelism and their tunnel-vision approach to church growth. I was deeply committed to my community and its betterment — something that won me the praise of some (and even an Innovative Church of the Year award from the North American Division) and the vitriol of others. I engaged in and sponsored interfaith relationships within my churches and in the community. I struggled alongside our neighbors for justice and peace. All of these things — things I was most proud of in my ministry — earned me rebuke and alienation from church administrators. I tried to maintain that I was a faithful critic — a critic from within — someone committed to the church and its future success but unwilling to go blindly along with things I felt were questionable, or even wrong.
This was on top of my theological concerns. I couldn't affirm the teaching that the Seventh-day Adventist Church was the "remnant church" — God's chosen people to prepare the world for the last days. If fact, there was a lot about the church's beliefs concerning the last days (and the more proximate days) that troubled me.
In March, I stood my ground on these issues and was asked to resign. I didn't want to resign but I finally agreed. My family and my health had suffered over the past several years but my faith had suffered most of all. Since that time I have been a religious nomad. I have struggled to relate to the church and, if I'm honest, God. I haven't attended church consistently; I struggle to relate to church people, preferring the company of skeptics and non-church-goers. I haven't prayed much and, without sermons to write on a regular basis, I haven't studied, or even really read, the Bible.
So, I'm making it official and embarking on a new journey. I will "try on" atheism for a year. For the next 12 months I will live as if there is no God. I will not pray, read the Bible for inspiration, refer to God as the cause of things or hope that God might intervene and change my own or someone else's circumstances. (I trust that if there really is a God that God will not be too flummoxed by my foolish experiment and allow others to suffer as a result).
I will read atheist "sacred texts" — from Hobbes and Spinoza to Russell and Nietzsche to the trinity of New Atheists, Hitchens, Dawkins and Dennett. I will explore the various ways of being atheist, from naturalism (Voltaire, Dewey, et al) to the new 'religious atheists' (Alain de Botton and Ronald Dworkin). I will also attempt to speak to as many actual atheists as possible — scholars, writers and ordinary unbelievers — to learn how they have come to their non-faith and what it means to them. I will visit atheist gatherings and try it on.
In short, I will do whatever I can to enter the world of atheism and live, for a year, as an atheist. It's important to make the distinction that I am not an atheist. At least not yet. I am not sure what I am. That's part of what this year is about.
For this life-long Christian, and a pastor for nearly 20 years, this feels abnormal. Risky, even. It is as uncomfortable as a lifelong atheist trying on Christianity for a year. Many of my colleagues will fear for my eternal security (what if I somehow die during the year?), others will question my mental health, reasoning that the recent trauma in my life has sent me over the edge. Perhaps they are right. There has been some religious trauma in my life in the last year and it has shaken the foundation of my faith, but honestly, it was getting pretty shaky anyway.
My desire is, as always, to pursue the truth and do it in a sometimes serious, sometimes playful, way that might be insightful for others as well. During the year I will be blogging my experience here and working on a book. I invite you to follow along and share your thoughts.

With regards to Jeremiah 20:9. Yes indeed, very appropraite. If His word is in our hearts, it will look for expression. But if we give it no vent, it will die away.
"Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay." (Jer 20:9)
Bell's hope for the future of the church is encouraging. He expressed a desire to see LGBTQ people welcomed like any other group into all congregations. "The gift that LGBT people bring to the church is an examined sexuality; straight people are not forced to do that same work," he said. For Bell, inclusion is not enough: "We need to go beyond inclusion, and we need to learn from [the LGBTQ community]."
What more can be said.
I don't think they have anything to teach us other than behavior that the Bible expressly forbids. I don't see how we could have members in good standing that are practicing homosexuals. No more than practicing adulterers.
They had open homosexuals in the student body when I was at Andrews. It's a big, gay, inclusive, tolerant family now. And it's even worse. They're not just talking about homosexuality now. Can you imagine, they're talking about transgender, transsexuality, intersexuality, and bisexuality. The completely aberrant is normalized by the structure now. Lord help us cure the church.
Oh ya, one pet peeve I have about these liberalized types, is they believe that gender is a social construction. It doesn't exist except as a fiction of society and culture. We have two generations who believe that gender is a choice, and that biology doesn't determine oneself. 100 geniuses in a six month focus group placed 100 years ago could not dream this wackiness up.
I find that younger people generally think sexual preference is not a choice, its the older people who think it is a choice.
Serious question. Do you think a majority of younger adventist think gay sex is not a sin?
Among my young SDA friends the majority do think its a sin. Outside the the church the majority of young people do not think it is a sin.
Those outside do not understand what sin is.
What you do with your reproductive organs is always a choice.
100 geniuses in a six month focus group placed 100 years ago could not dream this wackiness up.
Thank you for making me smile.
This is so true. Being a pervert is a choice that turns into an addiction. Romans 1:24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
I am glad I am past the age where I will have children.
Generally speaking, the only young SDA people in my opinion who are not being brainwashed are the home schooled ones, and even then it depends where the lessons are coming from. Andrews is a liberal, cultural Marxist PC sensitivity trained mockery of the Testimony of Jesus, and that's just being honest, and understating it.
So, it kind of seems that all the predictions of a homosexual / transsexual liberation or revolution in the church after WOPE are slowly coming to fruition. Do you think they'll push it?
The Liberal huffington puffington post confirms what John says and you call rubbish. Here is a little blurb from the above link:
only one university, Andrews University, has somewhat positive verbiage on LGBT students, who are included in the harassment policy. This was enacted only two years ago, when I wrote a proposal for said policy. Just this year Loma Linda University School of Medicine changed their policies to what I find to be the most inclusive policies we have to date at our educational institutions.
