This house is located right downtown on a quiet dead end street and is walking distance to essentially all of Newports great restaurants and bars. The house has 2 off street parking spots and 2 on street guest parking passes. There are a number of great restaurants within a one block radius on Thames St and most weekend nights it is easy to find live music. Perfect for families or couples.
We are a 10 minute or less walk to all Bellevue Avenue shopping, Touro Synagogue, the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Fort Adams and college league baseball in one of the oldest baseball parks in the nation.
You can easily walk to the nation's oldest tavern, oldest lending library and oldest synagogue.
I just wanted to say thank you, on behalf of me and all my friends, for hosting us in Newport the other weekend. We had a blast (obviously!) and our central location in Newport was a critical part of our weekend.
I don't think we could have asked for a better place to rent. Everything was amazing!
Anyhow, I just wanted to say thanks and that you will be our go-to person to rent from in Newport next time we come up.
House was great and spacious. It is in the best possible location in the heart of Newport. It was right next to all the shops, restaurants, and bars. The house was clean and had everything you needed in it as well as plenty of parking space. The owners made it easy for arrivel and departure with no hassle at all. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Newport.
I recently booked this home for a long weekend with a group of girlfriends, and I couldn't be happier with that decision. The house was perfectly located just steps from the shops and restaurants on Thames Street, making it possible to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go. The house was well-maintained and spacious with three bedrooms, two kitchens, two full bathrooms, and two living rooms, as well as a small patio out back with a table for outdoor dining. There is a narrow driveway, which was ideal for parking two smaller cars, but would not fit a larger sedan or SUV. The owners of the home were incredibly responsive and flexible during the booking process. I absolutely plan to stay here again and would highly recommend this listing to others.
Welcome to Newport, RI, with its spectacular coastal scenery, preserved colonial architecture and a thriving and lively waterfront downtown.
The apartment is located in the heart of downtown Newport and in the hub of all summer activities, but within the quiet confines of a dead end street. Parking is at a premium during the summer months, but we offer 1 off-street parking spaces and 1 guest passes for on-street parking.

Frannie you ignorant moron. Pinelawn is in St. Louis County. You need to check the facts before opening your dumb mouth. The facts are that Pinelawn is in St. Louis County. St. Louis County police have jurisdiction in the "MUNICIPALITY" of Pinelawn yet Pinelawn only has jurisdiction in Pinelawn. Maybe you could understand this one, St. Louis County Police have jurisdiction in all of St. Louis County ONLY. The Missouri Highway Patrol has Jurisdiction in all of "MISSOURI". See the correlation here? MO HWY PATROL can go into St. Louis County and do their J-O-B! They don't have to call Chief White and ask for permission just as St. Louis County Police do not have to ask for permission to go to Pinelawn because it is their JURISDICTION! Man...i thought this crap was simple but not with yoU!Common sense should tell you that one county entering into another county should alert the county they enter. How were the Pine Lawn Police Department supposed to know who the "good guys" were? What would all you who talk about the policeman freezing have said if he had shot one of the undercover officers? You people always put people between a rock and a hard place. Anything the Pinelawn Police would have done would have been criticized one way or another. Stop making excuses based on race (which has nothing to do with anything) and focus on the big picture. The streets need cleaning up, these thugs need to be locked away, and the police who are on the take will not be able to hide forever!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ARE YOU SERIOUS? People like you are why this sity/county and the whole country is in the shape that it's in! According to your logic the po-po is supposed to just sit back and watch the drug deals, robbing and shooting go down because there are innocent people around. HELLO, that is there job is "to protect and serve". And I guess if the po-po just sat around watching while these thug drug dealing criminals shot at each other and an innocent kid got shot then you would be blaming the cops for that too. You sir are obviously as liberal as it gets. Blame everyone else for you troubles and want everything for nothing! good day.

OK Mr. Smarty Pants, I didn't say they needed permission, but they did need to alert the Pinelawn Police of what was going on! No matter how dumb you think they are, they are not mind readers either. DO YOU HAVE COMMON SENSE????
#70 Jun 10, 2010
Frannie you obviously have no idea waht goes on in the real world of law enforcement.I am not in law enforcement but i have many friends that are and I hear first hand about life and death decisions that are made in less than one second. That's not enough time to call Pinelawn and say "Hey buddy, just want you guys to know that we are in YOUR MUNICIPALITY looking for criminals that you guys should have handled in the first place." Again you have no idea how the real world works, these St. Louis County Police were most likely following these thugs around different areas of St. louis County and the deal just happened to go down in Pinelawn. Detectives have to actually get evidence to build a case, not just pick random cars and accuse them of crimes. THAT IS COMMON SENSE...THINK ABOUT IT!!! I'm still not sure if you know that Pinelawn is in St. Louis County. I feel like I am talking to a wall or something.

YES,,,I know Pinelawn is the county. So is Ladue. Think they would have done that crap there without alerting the Ladue Police Department? I think not!

#74 Jun 10, 2010
First of all Ladue Police are actual policemen and not Keystone Cops, they do their J-O-B. Everytime I have heard of a crime in Ladue they nip it in the bud immediately. If this exact situation would have happened in ladue, the Police there would have showed up and returned fire on the car that started all of this BS...the CRIMINALS!!! I doubt gangbangers would go to an area like Ladue to deal drugs and do drive by's. If they ever did it would be their last because the Ladue Police Force is professional and put their lives on the line everyday for their citizens unlike the Keystone cops in Pinelawn that did nothing. Ask yourseld this, "If you lived in an area (anywhere) and your police officers that are sworn to protect and serve do not do thir jobs and put residents in lethal situations, would you really want to live there? Would you support your police for doing nothing? You would be on the next train out of town and you know it!

Well you're right about that. I would be on the next thing smokin', but I still believe they should have let the Pinelawn Police know they were in the area! I'm not saying the Pinelawn Police are good or bad. I don't know anything about them, but I do know they should have been informed. Them not knowing is what made them look so foolish.

And just how should they go about notifying the magnificent Pine Lawn PD? Should they call dispatch and have them broadcast it over their radio? "Attention all cars. The County drug unit is at (so and so location) conducting an undercover narcotics investigation." Criminals have scanners you fool. I don't think it's realistic to ask them to comprimise their investigation to keep that tiny cr*phole muni "in the loop."
#78 Jun 11, 2010
Frannie: I am in law enforcement. please, just stop posting your comments. IT IS OBVIOUS you have no law enforcement knowledge what so ever. If you knew the history of muni's like Pine Lawn, added with the ever so changing pace of actual "drug interdiction"; stopping to make a phone call IS SIMPLY NOT DONE!!. Calling other departments, NO MATTER WHICH POLICE DEPARTMENT IT IS, IS JUST NOT DONE, under these circumstances. Undercover officers are just that, UNDERCOVER. Most of the time, they dont carry walkie talkies (radios), they dont wear a badge, they dont have all the police gear that many of you are use to seeing. WHY? They dont want to get killed by the drug dealers. Again, UNDERCOVER!! Most of you are use to seeing a fully uniformed officer with badge, gun, handcuffs in a fully marked police car. The investigation could have very well have started in the heart of stl county, but as with MANY MANY investigations, it lead them somewhere else. In this case, it lead them to PINE LAWN. This did not happen in a course of 24 hours. The investigation is being done in real time. no time for second guesses no time for phone calls, no time to think about dinner, not even time to think about their loved ones. now, they went to Pine Lawn. Once there, these drug dealers opened fire on the police. Some how, some where, the suspects either FOUND OUT about the undercover officers OR simply started shooting at people who happen to be undercover officers. Either way, BAD GUYS SHOT AT PEOPLE for whatever reason. Now, THINK REAL HARD ABOUT THIS..... If officers are being shot at, do you think they had the time or even thought about making a damn phone call???? AND, if they did have the time, DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD CALL PINE LAWN FIRST????? Are you that ignorant? I hope that makes sence to you, cause if you cant get the 411 by now, its a lost cause.
On a personal note, THANK YOU COUNTY OFFICERS for a job well done. Thank god you all returned back to your family, ur friends, and the cop brotherhood!!

BRAVO. I tried to get Frannie to see the big picture, maybe you did too!

#80 Jun 11, 2010
Well maybe I don't understand how it works. I've never been in a situation where I needed to brush up on the law. I'm just a concerned citizen. I just want to see the streets cleaned up and the crooked cops locked up!
#81 Jun 13, 2010
Well the one nice thing about all of this is, that we wont see the nascar of police fleets on the highway anymore. I have never seen so many damn stickers on a police vehicle. And the mayor is so full of himself he has name on the car. Last time I check YOU ARE NOT GOD. You are a mayor of a low income area. Hell from all of the reports that I have read you dont even live in Pine Lawn. Doin' some good in your hood. What a real moron.
#82 Jun 13, 2010
TRAVIS: The Mayor doesnt live in Pine Lawn. He lives in the Florissant area. He owns a house in Pine Lawn and pays taxes in Pine Lawn, but he certainly doesnt live in Pine Lawn. He is also known as SYLVESTOR THE CAT on a local radio station. He also drives a blk Police Charger with emergency lights and sirens in it. Ask yourself. Why would ANY politician, especially a Mayor, have a police car with lights and siren?? He honestly thinks hes a police officer. They have another city council person who thinks hes a police officer too. Even has a badge, uniform and carrys a gun. You see... The Mayor wont fire the Chief because the Chief has too much INFO on the Mayor. The Chief wont snitch on the Mayor, cause the Mayor has too much INFO on the Chief. This is the same Chief that is CURRENTLY on probation with the Department of Public Safety (POST). He is on probation FOREVER!!. Cant even carry a gun outside Pine Lawn. He has been accused of rape and even suspected of murder. His brother, CHIEF OF BEVERLY HILLS, has been caught LYING to POST, but never faced charges. All this during Pine Lawns Chief RAPE investigation. YES< RAPE!!!! All i can say is that the Pine Lawn City Council is a complete JOKE to even allow the Mayor and their Chief of Police to remain in positions that are critical to the SUCCESS of any town. The city council should vote to take away the Mayors POLICE CAR and vote to fire their Chief. Do you know that tax payers are paying for this police car the mayor drives. All the gas, tires, oil changes all included!! Why does ANY mayor for ANY small city need a tax payers paid take home car?? They meet once a month for council meetings and vote on issues that doesnt make sence. But, I guess they have to make it seem they are "working". COME ON PINE LAWN RESIDENTS... STAND UP, FIGHT FOR YOUR TOWN. DONT ALLOW THESE IDIOT CITY COUNCIL PEOPLE CONTINUE TO RUN YOUR TOWN INTO THE DIRT.
In other news.. Their Chief wrecked his take home police car in Jennings. There is evidence that he was some what DWI when this happened. He BEGGED the person he hit not to call Jennings PD. WHY??
also, look at his police car. He has a trailor hitch. WHY does the Chief of Police have a trailor hitch on his police car?? I assure you its not for police matters. its for his HORSES!! He uses city property, tax payers money, to pay for his personnel habits. The residents of Pine Lawn are getting RAPED still by the same rapist and the Mayor and City Council allow it!!

I have the right to voice my opinion whether I agree with you or not! Spend your time telling these jackass racists to stop posting. Just because there's no law supporting my beliefs dosen't mean they're STUPID. That's why laws are changed, someone comes up with a better idea!

I grew up in Pine Lawn in the 60's and 70's. The parents moved our family about 200 miles south. I have been trying to find a girlfriend of mine that I grew up with in Pine Lawn that I have lost touch with. We both lived on Ravenwood. The city has named a street after her father, Steve Marre. He was an Alterman in Pine Lawn for many years. Would anyone know Lisa Marre or know how I can get in contact with her? I am sure she is married and I do not know her married last name. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you! Sharon Collins Bassham
#88 Oct 26, 2010
I went to Normandy High with Steve Marre. We were friends in the Class of 1958. A wonderful guy and I'm happy that street honors him. He would be very happy to see the beautiful new elementary school rising in Pine Lawn just north of Natural Bridge and Jennings Road.

A treasure trove of textures
September 4th, 2011 | Published in Google SketchUp, Uncategorized
Our friend John Pacyga, apparently. He's just posted a long list of his favorite texture sources — for both SketchUp and Photoshop. Some are free, some have Creative Commons licenses, and some cost money, but all are worth browsing. Set aside some time, though; this kind of thing is addictive.
If you've found a seamless texture (one that can repeat attractively when you paint it on a surface), here's how you load it into SketchUp:

BEREA: Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton has experienced flashbacks while studying Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush in preparation for their showdown Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.
Horton sees the version of Bush, 28, that won the Heisman Trophy while playing for the University of Southern California in 2005. After signing a four-year contract reportedly worth more than $16 million to join the Lions (3-2) in March, Bush has 61 carries for 298 yards (4.9 average) and a touchdown to go along with 15 catches for 204 yards and another touchdown this season.
"Reggie's a threat when he's on the field," Horton said Thursday before practice. "I would say he reminds me looking at him back at the USC days. He's a threat to get the ball. They want to get the ball to him whether it's on the long swing pass, a handoff, a toss, a reverse. He's just a dangerous player in space. His longest play was a [77-yard] screen pass that was phenomenal to watch him run. Really it went back to the USC-Texas days of basketball on grass."
The Browns (3-2) have the NFL's fourth-ranked defense (301.8 yards allowed per game). They're ranked eighth against the run (94.2 yards allowed per game) and seventh against the pass (207.6 yards allowed per game).
Still, they could benefit from starting right outside linebacker Jabaal Sheard returning to the lineup. Sheard hasn't played since he sprained his left knee Sept. 22 while recovering a fumble during the third quarter in a win over the Minnesota Vikings, but he might be ready to return Sunday. He practiced Wednesday and Thursday on a limited basis. Backup left outside linebacker and special-teams captain Quentin Groves also practiced the past two days on a limited basis after suffering a high-ankle sprain Sept. 15 against the Baltimore Ravens.
"The play [Sheard] got hurt on was a fantastic play, a big play in the Minnesota game," Horton said. "Jabaal was playing very well for us. He's a very smart player, and he allows us to do things. The thing I have been saying all season is depth is critical for our team, and he's one of our better players. Getting him back and getting Quentin Groves back enables our special teams and defense to play better."
When asked if Sheard would get his starting job back, Horton said, "That's a head coach's decision. We want all of our good players on the field."
Rookie outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo, the sixth overall pick in this year's draft, has started the past two games in Sheard's place. Although Mingo has three sacks in his four games, he has taken some lumps. For example, he lost containment Oct. 3 in a win over the Buffalo Bills, allowing running back C.J. Spiller to break loose for a 54-yard touchdown run off left tackle in the third quarter.
"I assume [Mingo] knows what the lesson is, what his responsibility to the rest of the team is," Horton said. "He's a young player, and we're going to grow with him and get better. He's new. He hasn't played a lot. He's going to be a dynamic player for us, but he's also got that learning curve for us. Every game is a different opponent. Different schemes and mistakes happen in a game."
As for Sheard, he had 15 tackles, including 1½ sacks, a pass defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the first three games before he was injured.
"He's a dominant player," starting left outside linebacker Paul Kruger said. "So he's definitely an added force."
In other words, Horton's men would welcome Sheard's help against Bush.
"[Bush's] an explosive player," Kruger said. "He has that ability to make big plays and really stretch the field. He's got a lot of speed. So we've got to make sure that we keep an eye on him."
Megatron watch
Lions All-Pro wide receiver Calvin Johnson practiced on a limited basis Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with the injured right knee the forced him to miss a 22-9 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Johnson's availability against the Browns probably won't be determined until Sunday morning.
"Are they a different team without Calvin on the field? I think they are," Horton said. "For me to say they won't miss him is absurd, but [quarterback Matthew Stafford has been] doing such a wonderful job distributing the ball, I think they can really absorb one guy being out.
"Do I assume [Johnson is] going to play? He's a competitor. He's a fantastic player. I think if there's any way he can play, he'll play. Unfortunately, I'm not up there in Detroit. I don't get to watch their practices."
Browns backup defensive end Billy Winn (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday. Quarterback Brian Hoyer, who's out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, watched the team's morning walk-through session. He was using crutches.
On his radio show on the team's flagship stations, Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Hoyer will undergo surgery next week.
Dirty or not?
Since Lions standout defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh entered the NFL in 2010, the league has fined him six times and suspended him once for illegal plays against opponents.
So is Suh a dirty player?
"I am not going to answer that," center Alex Mack said.
On the other hand, right guard Shawn Lauvao insisted he is in favor of Suh's nasty style.
"I like that," Lauvao said. "I think that's one thing that's lacking in the NFL. There's not too many guys who have some juice to themselves. It's a good thing."
Talking offense
Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner said the key to quarterback Brandon Weeden getting rid of the ball quicker is all about understanding the plays and the system.
"It's not physical," Turner said. "It has to do obviously with decision-making and giving him things where he has the option to get the ball out quick and emphasizing that.
"There's certainly [an] emphasis in getting the ball out. We do need to get the ball out."
Aside from the quarterback, Turner believes the rest of the offense is better now than the first two games of the season, when Weeden started and wide receiver Josh Gordon served a suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.
"I went back and watched the first two weeks," Turner said. "And obviously not having Josh was an issue."
Extra points
Buzz was generated on the airwaves of WKNR (850-AM) Thursday morning about free-agent quarterback Tim Tebow being in Cleveland. A league source said if that's true, the trip is not related to the Browns. … Horton ended his news conference with a tribute to one of his favorite authors, Tom Clancy, who died Oct. 1. "I want to pass on my condolences to the world because he was a fantastic author, and I loved how he would weave a tale to get you to the end," Horton said. "And I would always read the last page of the book first."

thoughts from the journey...
"He must increase, but I must decrease" John 3:30
Thursday, October 27, 2016
Rhythms of Rest
Jeremiah and I have just returned from a much needed three day personal retreat. We spent our time resting our bodies, renewing our souls, and reconnecting with God. I cannot tell you how good and healthy and necessary this is. The past several months have felt very much like a whirlwind running from church events to doctors appointments to camp planning meetings to family events and other work and personal obligations. Thinking about all of these things as I type them is exhausting. These are all good things. I want to fill my time with good things, things that make a difference and have an impact. I love filling my schedule with things to do.
Our culture, especially in the Midwest, is great at promoting and glorifying a "busy" life. We praise people for their productivity, hard work and full schedules. I have often been complimented for this. One friend once told me, "You get many miles out of life." I think it is important to use time wisely and be productive, especially in our Kingdom work. However, I fear we have put way too much emphasis on this side of the spectrum and have neglected the equally important opposite end of the spectrum, rest.
From the very beginning it is clear that we were created to rest. God creates Adam and Eve on the sixth day of the Creation poem. They are created in God's image and their first full day of existence is spent experiencing rest with God on day seven. We read over and over again in the first chapter of Genesis the phrase "evening and morning." It is backwards from how we think about time. The Bible describes the idea of day as starting with the evening. What do you do in the evening? Rest! This pattern seems to indicate that our work comes from out rest, not the other way around.
Let's be honest with ourselves, this is not how we think. We work hard all day so we can leave work to go home and rest. We work long hours to earn extra money so we can retire early and rest. I think this perspective of work is very dangerous. It is backwards from what God has laid out for us. He commands us to rest and Jesus models this and teaches us that "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27) God invites us to rest with Him, to trust that He is enough, to trust that our value and identity is in God alone and not our work.
I have found when I make rest the priority, my work is better. I'm more effective in ministering to others. I am more present with other people. I have a better attitude about those things I don't really like doing. In these times my work has come from my rest. I have answered God's invitation to rest and I can better do the work He has called me to do. But when I make the work the priority, things get messy. I struggle to concentrate. I miss things. I have a bad attitude. My work is sloppy. I've rejected God's invitation and I make the work about me or something else other than God. And eventually I crash because I've been living outside of the rhythm in which I was created to live.
Think of it like the pendulum on a clock. It swings back and forth in a steady rhythm. When the pendulum swings properly the clock functions properly and keeps the right time. When that pendulum gets off balance, the clock doesn't keep the proper time. It runs fast or slow. The rhythm of rest and work in our lives is just like that pendulum. When the rhythm is off we aren't living the way God created us to live.
We have to intentionally manage our time to include daily rest (good sleep and time spent with God), weekly rest (Sabbath, a full day of rest), monthly rest (a day or two set aside for extra rest and renewal), and yearly rest (a vacation or retreat). This will not just happen. Perhaps you have heard the saying, "If you don't manage your time, it will manage you." God did not intend us to live like that. What do your rhythms of rest look like? Does your work flow out of your rest or is your work dictating your rest? Brothers and sister, we must be obedient in this. God is offering us an invitation to rest in Him and trust in Him. How will you answer that invitation?

Perspective and Attitude
I'm currently sitting in the allergist office waiting my mandatory 30 minutes to make sure I don't have reactions. It is actually a very annoying weekly ritual, but it is for my own safety and in the long run makes me stronger. The waiting room tv is playing an interview with a woman who has diabetes. She just shared that many of her friends started to pray that God would take away diabetes. She responded by asking her friends to stop praying because diabetes saved her life. I thought that was a peculiar response so I listened a little closer. She went on to explain about how unhealthy and sick she felt until the discovered the disease and now she felt strong and healthy. She was grateful for the diagnoses, because of how it changed her life.
Now this might seem like a stretch, but it immediately caused me to think about the things around us that we are constantly asking God to take away because it is annoying or hard. What if God is allowing those things to be present in our lives to make us stronger, healthier or even greater reflections of Him? If that is the case, shouldn't my attitude be one of thanksgiving instead of one of complaining.
Paul shares some similar thoughts with the church in Corinth. We don't know exactly what the thorn in his flesh is, but he begs God to take it away three times. God chooses not to and teaches Paul, "My grace is sufficient of you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:7) Paul changes his attitude and decides to be grateful for this weakness and struggle. He discovers and explains in his letter that when he changes his attitude, "Christ's power may rest in me…For when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
In Genesis, we discover Joseph seems to have embraced a similar attitude. His brothers have plotted to kill him, but end up selling him as a servant. After serving in Potiphar's house, he is falsely accused and thrown in prison. When he is finally reunited with his family and saves them from suffering during a famine he says to them, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." While I'm sure there were several times Joseph was frustrated and struggled with his circumstance, he allowed God to shape and mold him during the process.
Our God is very good and does not harm us, but he does desire to use the brokenness around for his glory. We have to be willing to allow his Spirit to work through us in that way. Are there things in your life that are causing frustration or hurt? What is your attitude toward those things? What might God be trying to teach you? How might he be trying to shape you through these circumstances? How might God be using this as an opportunity to make himself known to you and those around you?

Simplicity of Discipleship
I used to think discipling others meant I had to be perfect at following Jesus. Wrong! Not one of the disciples we see in Scripture was perfect and they went on to start churches all over the world.
I used to think discipling others meant I had to have all the answers. Wrong! The disciples in Scriptures wrestled to understand the Text. I love Paul's story because we see him mature and grow throughout the book of Acts.
I used to think discipling others meant lots of formal meetings where I would teach what I knew about Jesus and the Bible. Wrong! Jesus disciples others as they are doing simple every day things like fishing, going to the Temple to worship, eating meals, gathering water at a well.
Paul tells the church in Corinth, "Be imitators of me, just as I am of Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1 NASB). We read that and freak out because we know we aren't the best imitators of Jesus. Paul is not saying he is a perfect imitator. He is simply telling the Christians in Corinth, "I'm following Jesus. Come follow Him with me." Do the things I do in following Jesus so you can learn how to follow Jesus too. It sounds so simple, because is many ways it is.
Annette follows Jesus and worships Him by singing praises and making music for His glory. She invites Evelyn to do the same. So Evelyn learns to follow Jesus by worshiping Him through singing and clapping. There was no long lecture. Annette just followed Jesus and invited someone to do it with her.
Now I'm not saying the process of discipleship is always easy. That certainly is not the case. Often simple things aren't easy. Try not eating that amazing bowl of Sherman's Ice Cream or your favorite dessert placed right in front of you; simple but not easy. I do want to challenge us not to make discipleship more challenging than it should be. Let's keep following Jesus and inviting others to do that with us.
It starts with an invitation. Jesus says to his apostles, "Come follow me." Who can you say that to by inviting them to come to church with you or joining one of our Fall Bible Studies. It is a simple start to a beautiful journey.

I had a great view from my hospital bed last week. The sky was a gorgeous bright blue with big, fluffy white clouds. The tops of the tree tops were a full of different shades of green. Breathtaking! I made several comments about it throughout the afternoon. Later that evening, the clouds had dissipated, the bright blue was starting to dull, and the sun started to appear in the corner of the window. The sun made its way across the sky, and my window, and I was reminded of the many California sunsets I enjoyed on the west coast as the giant ball of fire slowly falls to below the earth's edge. As I soaked up the sun shining in my eyes, God brought Psalm 103 to mind. There were only about three verses of the psalm I could remember, and my cell phone was almost dead. Fortunately it wasn't long before Jeremiah returned with my Bible. I didn't even have to ask him to bring it; he knew I would want it.
I wanted to share one of my favorite Hebrew words from this psalm with you. Barak. It means to bless or to kneel. You have probably heard me say before the Hebrew is a very picturesque language. This means that the word pictures created in the Hebrew can help us better understand what the author is saying to us. When we bless someone, it is as if we are bending our knee toward them. This picture gets lost a little bit in our culture. We don't bow before kings or queens. Kneeling is an act that recognizes you are submitting yourself to, honoring, or at the service of the one you are kneeling before. A man kneels before his girlfriend with a marriage proposal to serve and honor her.
If you are reading the NIV, it will translate barak as praise. This isn't a bad translation, I simply think bless is a better translation. Take that for what it is worth. A vast majority of the time in Scripture, "bless" is used to talk about us blessing God. That is exactly what is happening in Psalm 103. However, we love to use the word "bless" to ask God to give us something. Remember the word picture, blessing someone is as if we are bending a knee to them. We are asking God to bend His knee toward us to serve us. I hope that makes you as uneasy as it does me. Is there anything wrong with asking God to be with us or help us? Absolutely not! He says he will do those things. Will God bless us? Absolutely! There are uncountable ways that he has.
Psalm 103 always reminds me who is on the throne and that regardless of circumstance, I bless God and God alone. It causes me to ask myself if I'm asking God to bless me more than I am blessing God. My challenge to you is to let Psalm 103 speak to you. Perhaps you could even literally bend your knees and make this psalm your prayer.
"Bless the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all you sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like eagle's.
The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great isis love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass,
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
But from everlasting to everlasting
the LORD's love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children's children—
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
Bless the LORD, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
Bless the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
Bless the LORD, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Bless the LORD, o my soul."
Psalm 103

Wilderness People (Repost)
"Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her." Hosea 2:12
In July of 2014, I had the opportunity to travel to Israel and Turkey on a study trip with some of the staff and students from Impact Campus Ministry. In a few weeks, another group will be going and I really wish I was joining them. After some recent conversations about the trip, I started re-reading my journals and blog posts from around the trip. I found a blog post that challenged me and I thought I would update it a little and share it with you.
Hiking is one of my favorite ways to connect with God; exploring His creative work, quieting my heart and listening to His voice. I spent a ton of time hiking when I lived in California even though there was a horrible draught the entire time I was there. The hills were always brown, and there was never much green to be seen. The trails were rocky and dusty. It wasn't very pretty to most, in fact some days it made me miss the green forests of Michigan. But it always reminded me that God's people were wilderness people.
The wilderness, or desert, is a land of "just enough." There is just enough water and rain for the vegetation to survive. There is just enough vegetation for sheep and goats to graze. There is just enough shade to provide an overheated shepherd relief from the hot sun.
And because there is just enough and not too much, there is plenty of room to trust. There is plenty of room to trust you'll have just enough food to survive the day. Plenty of room to trust you'll have just enough water to survive the day. Plenty of room to trust you will have exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. It is not what I would consider comfortable, but it is exactly where I want to live my life.
One evening I decided to hike my regular route backwards. I do this sometimes just to have a more difficult hike and sometimes I just like the different perspective it gives me. That evening as I made my way up the final climb to the bluff, I was reminded of one of my wilderness moments and one of the hardest moments in my life, my battle with depression.
During that time, I was convinced the wilderness I was in was not a land of just enough but a land of no where near enough. Not enough of God's grace to handle my weaknesses. Not enough of God's love to love someone like me. Not enough second chances to try again after I messed up. Not enough reasons for me to even be alive. It was a very dark time. It was in the book of Hosea and the Psalms where I found any glimmer of hope. If Hosea could marry a prostitute and still follow God each day and rest in His love, surely I could handle another day. If David could tell God how broken and sad he was and write about it, surely I could tell God too.
Hosea 2:12 was one of the verses I clung to during those years. My life felt like the toughest, driest desert to ever exist, but it was in the desert that God spoke to His people. Most days it felt like He wasn't speaking or listening at all. There were brief moments where I heard His voice. Brief moments where I knew He was there with me. Those moments sustained me. Those moments healed me.
Now I make it a habit to go to the literal wilderness to remind myself of what God has done. To remind myself that just enough is more than enough. To remind myself God is present. I sit in the wilderness to listen to His tender voice.
When the snow arrived this last winter, I did everything to avoid the outdoors. It was far too cold. However, I haven't returned to my practice of heading to the wilderness to be still and listen. This post reminded me of how critical that is for me. Where do you hear God speak to you? Have you gone there to be still and listen? Make some time this month to create space for the Lord to speak to you.

Thanks. That is what I've been looking for. Congratulations for the creation of this website that so far has been of great help. I will, in return, tell others who are interested in learning Mandarin about this website.
I think I just plain missed something important.
How do you indicate a objects as plural? For example, I ate some apples or I like libraries?
Lesson 65 grammar review is really great! I own several grammar books but they contain too much information for my level.
In lesson 65 I can find all the grammar points that are relevant to my level.
Hey Serge!
I also just want to thank you for all your work. It really helped me and still is. I actually still have a long way to go, but currently living and working in Suzhou should help with that. ;-)
I listened to the podcasts while going for a walk or running back in Viennan, now the perfect time is after work when I prepare/eat dinner, don't need any additional time and only need my ears. :-) Very convenient!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, it was so hard to find a user friendly audio :)
Ni hao Serge!
Your podcasts are amazing!!!! Thank you soo much for posting them up! They will help me a lot in learning Mandarin and also save me money! Keep up with the great work!! I really appreciate what you are doing!!-best Priscila
Serge, I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed listening and learning. Of course as you probably well know, everyone swears that Rosetta Stone is the best, but I think your method is working very well for me. I have really impressed my Chinese coworkers and friends when I speak some Chinese to them. I have gotten so may double takes, and turned many heads. They are so impressed that I am speaking some Chinese, albeit very basic so far. My son currently lives in Hefei teaching English at a couple of colleges, as well as to some young children. I am going to visit China next month and hope to utilize what I have learned. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Jonas
Eureka!! I finally found you, I'm from an Argentina's little town, a friend gave me your firsts lessons but latter I couldn't find your website anymore… Now I'll begin with complete lessons, xié xié!
Серж, это просто супер!
Большая благодарность за ваши уроки китайского! Они очень удобные и понятные. Изучаю китайский для работы.
На днях подпишусь для получения транскрипций.
Богдан из Киева
Dear Serge
Even though I have spent many years at university and am used to studying on my own, your podcasts and transcripts are the difference between me learning Mandarin or not. One can learn a European language on one's own, I learned German and Spanish that way before learning to acquire it fluently in the relevant countries but I think one cannot possibly learn Mandarin that way; the grammar is easier but the sounds are just so different and often so much softer than anything the Western ear is used to. I have listen to your podcasts on trains in Finland, in cafes in Milan, on the beach in Nice, in the dessert in Syria and walking my dog every night in Ireland. I cannot say how much I appreciate your programme.
Rest assured Serge that there are many people learning Mandarin who would not be doing so without your efforts.
Thank you again and I wish you ever success.
Hi Serge,
I'm am just completing lesson 55 and I wanted to say its been an absolute pleasure to learn Chinese using your lessons. I really appreciate the thought you put into them. If I'm being honest, there are times when I look at the subject of the lesson and think "I don't need to learn that" but I do the lesson anyways. There has NOT been one time that I have didn't learn something that I can use everyday, whether it be new useful vocabulary or some interesting sentence structure. I am now surprising my Chinese Fiancee, her friends and her family on a daily basis with my knowledge of Mandarin. Previous to finding your lessons I tried Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, Instant Immersion, and Chinese Pod and none of them were right for me. Your lesson structure and progression is a perfect fit. Anyone serious about learning Mandarin needs to strongly consider your lessons. I feel very prepared for my trip back to China for Chinese New Year. I can't thank you enough, I will be renewing my subscription very soon.
Thanks for the help, 谢谢你帮助我 你太好了,
Benjamin 本杰明
Ni hao Serge! First I have to say your pronunciation is amazing! You sound
like a native speaker to me. I am teaching Chinese is Britain. I've found
my students are struggling with pronunciation and tones, especially the
young ones. We just doing it bit by bit every lesson. Anyway I want to say
thanks for the programme because it has given me more ideas about how to
teach Chinese. I think you could write a book for foreigners learning
Xie xie.
Hello, Serge
Like others here I would like to sincerely thank you for creating these lessons. I have completed lesson one and I truly enjoyed it. your teaching style is very pleasant and "down-to-earth"or comfortable. I hope that within a year I will gain an understanding of basic Chinese.
Thank you,
Dian from The Bahamas
Hi Serge!
Thank you for the Chinese lessons you have made availabe on the webside. I enjoy listening and learning from your way of teaching. I hope that in a year or so I will be able to speak and understand basic Zhongwen. Esterina
P.S any suggestions?
I can't get the worksheets when I log in and I don't know how to put the
lessons on Itunes.
Please help.
Wo hen gan xie, Serge! Me and my friend are learning together, since we have a chinese class next year in school. What I wanted to do most was to go to the Shaolin Temple in china and study their' martial arts. I already know enough japanese to be able to teach my own form of martial arts in japan when I get older. So, I only have thanks to say to your detailed and great lessons!
In japanese, all I have to say is Arigato Gozaimasu!
Hello Serge,
Thanks for the site. I've been listening for around six months to the podcasts – now I have subscribed to start learning from the transcripts and worksheets also.
I speak French and German and my mother tongue is English. I'm finding that Mandarin is not like learning a European language – so I am carefully planning my time to dedicate to learning. Hopefully I will be able to visit Great China -or Taiwan again in the next couple of years – either for business or for a holiday.
I'm hoping that the next six months will bring me some serious progress!
Kind regards
Lancashire, England
Thanks, Serge. I mean "xie xie"
I have been searching for such a web site for learning zhong wen. Really, it is fantastique!
Xie xie! This is a great site! I'm now taking Mandarin level1 class for my coco subject, and this site is really helpful for me to learn more . and I will use it to improve my Mandarin skills in the future. ok keep on going! Xie xie once again.
Merci beaucoup ! There're no such lesson in France ! Thank u man ! Wo hen xihuan ni ! Xiexie ! ^___^

I just had found your place, I only can say it's great, easy to learn, and very useful.
Thank you a lot for your great job and dedication in developing this.
Guillermo Rivero, Lima, Peru
I have been studying Chinese in China for about a year and was close to giving up when I found your website. I recognized immediately that you possess the tools I need to improve my Mandarin skills. I am happy to pay the fees. They can, in no way, compensate you for the service (hope) that you are giving me.
This course is wonderfull thanxxxxxxx a lot!
hi Serge,
Thank you so much for this chinese learning program, it's really helpful and very successful. Today was my first time here and when I started the 1st lesson I felt a big joy because i finaly found the best way to learn Mandarin, it's free, well-made and I can come here whenever i want.
Thank you for your great efforts.
Of all the learn Chinese podcasts, this series is by far the most user friendly. Thanks Serge.
oh my god, finally!!this is what ive been looking for since i first signed up for a mandarin group class in berlitz.im abbey and im from the philippines.this is to say "xie xie" to your brilliant effort to share your mandarin knowledge online. more power to you and your website. keep it up!!!
Thank you very much, These lessons are great for a beginner. Thanks again
Olá Serge,
thanks, very good. It seems very useful. keep on going!!!
Hope to learn a lot,
Paulo Marques, Portugal
Thank you for listening in. I will continue the lessons. I have made a curriculum for one year, after which you can hopefully be alble to communicate in Chinese on some basic level.
Thank you so much for your Mandarin lessons. I have been waiting for something like this to come along for a long time. I'm an American and have always been fascinated by Chinese culture, language, history and philosophy, yet, I work and do not have time for classes. It is great to listen to your podcast and I hope you continue it–your lessons are well-thought out and easy to follow.
Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - December 21, 2003, New Braunfels, Texas Page 4A — Herald-Zeitung — Sunday, December 21, 2003 Herald-Zeitung Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852. New Braunfels Zeituqg was founded 1852; New Braunfels Herald was founded 1890 The two papers merged in 1957and printed in both German and English until 1958 Managing Editor Gary I. Maitland Features Editor Brian Grant Editor and Publisher Doug Toney Circulation Director Craig Pauling Advertising Director Courtney Abernathy Business Manager Heather Grant Our Opinion Water fight worth county's attention o The battles over water will grow as the demands for this limited resource grow. Every citizen should pay close attention to water issues in Comal County. f all the big political issues that local governments will face in the decades to come, none compares in importance to the fights developing over water rights. The rapid growth in and around Comal County is already straining our infrastructure — roads, sewer and water lines, utilities. There's plenty of aggregate to build roads. More pipes for water lines can be laid. Power lines can be strung. But water is different. The battles over water will grow as the demands for this limited resource increase. So it comes as little surprise that the Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority and the City of Bulverde filed a lawsuit Thursday over water rights. They are challenging the rights of Bexar Metropolitan Water District to provide serve Bulverde residents. GBRA and Bulverde have asked Comal County's commissioners to join the fight. Commissioners will be briefed on the issue Jan. 8 and vote later next month on whether to get involved. These water fights are complicated and emotional. But they are incredibly important to local citizens. That's reason enough for every citizen to pay close attention to legislative and judicial matters involving the most precious of all our resources. Today in History By the Associated Press Today is Sunday, Dec. 21, the 355th day of 2003. There are IO days left in the year. Today s Highlight in History: " On Dec. 21,1620, Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower went ashore for the first time at present-day Plymouth, Mass. On this date: In 1898, scientists Pierre and Marie Curie discovered the radioactive element radium. In 1913, the first crossword puzzle was published, in the New York World. In 1945, Gen. George S. Patton died in Heidelberg, Germany, of injuries from a car accident. In 1958, Charles de Gaulle was elected to a seven-year term as the first president of the Fifth Republic of France. In 1968, Apollo Eight was launched on a mission to orbit the moon. In 1971, the U.N. Security Council chose Kurt Waldheim to succeed U Thant as Secretary-General. In 1978, police in Des Plaines, IU., arrested John W. Gacy Jr. and began unearthing the remains of 33 men and boys that Gacy was later convicted of murdering. In 1988,270 people were lulled when a terrorist bomb exploded aboard a Pam Am Boeing 747 over Lockerbie. Scotland, sending wreckage crashing to the ground.

Drawer 311328 New Braunfels, TX 78131 1328 Fax them to: (830) 606 3413 e-mail them to: news@herald- zeitung.com Voters have spoken twice; time to move ahead on civic center . Seems to me the reasons we need a new or improved civic center are getting shoved to the back burner. I'm sure the best minds in the city can figure out how to do it in a more affordable way. First, we are a city of over 41,000 with a 33-year old, outdated, single-use facUity. Answer: Create a multiuse one with modem amenities. Not gold-plated, just durable and long-lasting like our current one. Second, our city is dependent on sales tax revenue to pay for city services—police, fire, garbage and so on. Year-round, high-dollar visitors will help fund these instead of from my pocket only. I urge city leaders to move ahead. Yes, update the existing studies if necessary, but keep your eye on the prize! The voters have spoken, twice. Don't waste time appeasing those few who just can't accept the fact their views have not been accepted by the majority in previous elections. John Seidel New Braunfels Forget the civic center; why not do something for our children? On behalf of the 100,000 children in this area who desperately need or want a new skating rink/recreation center/dance club, we want to thank the city, county and chamber for spending all that money on things that will have absolutely no effect on our lives as much as building "our'' complex. Ten million dollars for the technology center to teach kids how to fix an auto fender; $12 million to $ 14 million to build a new civic center when the one we have might need a little touchup. Could it be the chamber wants new offices? A $750,000 loan to a bankrupt company that doesn't even have to pay all of it back. And all the studies being done in vain to attract new businesses to our area. Why not do something for "our" kids? Today's children need even more (attention and help than any other time in the history of our great nation — with obesity on the rise, test scores going down, drop-out rates going up, teen pregnancies, drug problems and the list could go on and on. So why doesn't everyone get together and help "our" kids. Find a way to get this taxpaying won derful project, that would create 15 to 20 jobs, open. By the way, Merry Christmas and maybe a Happy New Year, if tpiyone cares about "our" kids. Jim Pace New Braunfels Same song third or fourth verse — on civic center plan It was only a matter of time, I guess, until we heard from the "anti" crowd on the civic center or some other progressive issue. It s been pretty quiet since these folks got whopped in the last three municipal elections. Now we have one of their leaders long opposed to even being able to use hotel occupancy funds on a civic center expansion who now says: let s only use these fluids — nothing else. Talk about hypocritical! Then in the same letter to the editor the writer explains die virtue of maintaining 4B economic development sales tax dollars as a needed "tool in the tool chest." This from the same person not successful in leading the campaign to strip the community of these dollars as recently as November 2002 — wow! Betty I Dunking just for the record, the chamber didn't run the campaign for it, it was once again the overwhelming majority of citizens who rebuffed your "dose die door behind me" mentality. Dennis W. Heitkamp New Braunfels Wreck victim: Thanks for help At the beginning of June this year I was in a car accident in front of the church across from the old H-E-B. I was run off the road, and my car slammed into the tree. I received only a gash the size of quarter on my forehead right above my right eye. Almost instantly after I hit the tree there were two men by my side. One took his shirt oft and gave it to me to hold over my eye to stop the bleeding. The other talked to me constantly to make sure that I didn t fall asleep. Neit her of these men's name were in the police report, so I have not been able to give them a proper thank you. I only hope that they read the paper and realize this is for them. I thank you gentlemen for help and allowing me to see that there are still good samaritans in the world.

You can write to him at PO. Box 2446, Orlando, Flu. 32802. Its clear that the president's brain is occupied by the neoconservatives who surround him. It s clear from their writings and policy statements that the neoconservatives believe the United States can become the dominant power on Earth. This is a bad judgment that is dangerous and could become lethal. This is why thoughtful people believe it is imperative to defeat Cieorge Bush in the 2004 elections. This wrongheaded policy, cooked up by academics and journalists, is not one that will merely embarrass the United States. It is a wrongheaded policy that could have dire consequences for the American people. This wrongheaded idea that the United States can now dominate the planet rests on a number of fallacies. Let's look at them. f allacy No. I is the belief that the rest of the world will acquiesce to American dominance. Russia, China and India, not to mention the Islamic World, are not about to go quietly into the sunset. All three have large populations, large amounts of natural resources, and nuclear teeth. Their nuclear teeth mean that the U.S. attempts to bully them will always fall short of being effective. Fallacy No. 2 is the false belief that the United States is as strong as it was in 1945. The truth is we are much weaker. The great manufacturing capacity that became the "arsenal of democracy" has been eroded almost beyond recognition. Our agricultural base has been eroded. Iron ore and oil supplies have been seriously depleted. We are in fact dependent on imports not only for energy supplies but for manufactured goods, strategic minerals, parts for our own strategic weapons systems, and increasingly for food. We are running high federal deficits, high trade deficits and high current account deficits. The value of the dollar is eroding rapidly. Fallacy No. 3 is the false belief that our military is undefeatable. This falsehood has been led by the fact that since Vietnam, we have used our high-tech forces to attack small, poor, defenseless countries such as Grenada, Panama, Serbia, Afghanistan and Iraq. But even Afghanistan and Iraq, both dilapidated and lacking all modern military technology, have put a great strain on America's military forces. We do not yet have full control of either country. Our strength is not jn our ground forces but in our high-tech air power and the ability to coordinate the two. One breakthrough in air-defense technology could seriously weaken us, and you can be sure both Russia and China are work ing assiduously to make that breakthrough. Before you dismiss Russia, you should remember that we are now dependent on Russian spacecraft to reach the space station and that Russia, not us, has the world's largest mobile intercontinental ballistic missile force. lf we are so strong, why has the president tread so carefully in his dealings with North Korea? Why not bully them as he did Iraq? Why not issue ultimatums? For the simple reason that we would pay a very high price in American casualties if we got into a war with North Korea. Don' forget, it is their civilian sector that is poor. They have put most of their resources into their military. In 1945, die United States was the strongest and richest country on Earth. In 2003, we are one of, if not the, most indebted countries on Earth. Foreign holders of that debt could wreck our economy simply by deciding to dump their holdings on the market. Domestically we are a divided people with a decadent culture, if you can even call it a culture. Far from entering a period of dominance, we are entering a period of great danger. Most empires have lasted about 250 years, and we are approaching that number. What we need are not empty heads controlled by pseudo-intellectual ideologues but the smartest, wisest leaders we can find. Our future depends on it. ;

This week, Collected Wisdom is in the recording studio pursuing a revolutionary new artistic direction – music for animals. Our first release will be Songs for Swinging Simians.
"Is there any evidence that animals can appreciate music?" asks Micki Honkanen of Toronto.
CW went combing through a stack of learned journals and came upon a study catchily titled Affective Responses in Tamarins Elicited by Species-Specific Music.
In this study, published in 2009 in the online journal Biology Letters, U.S. researchers Charles Snowdon and David Teie observed that cotton-top tamarin monkeys generally preferred silence to any type of human music. However, researchers then found that tamarins developed quite an ear for a tune if it was createdespecially for them.
Mr. Teie, a professional cellist, composed music containing some structural features of tamarin calls. He then played these pieces to the monkeys. The tunes inspired by contented tamarin vocalizations made the monkeys calmer, while musical pieces evoking calls of alarm or aggression made the tamarins anxious.
The researchers concluded that reactions to music are species-specific. Humans who listened to tamarin tunes found them a bit grating on the ear. However, the researchers did tell Science News that the monkeys unexpectedly reacted to one piece of human music – a song by the heavy-metal band Metallica. Oddly, it made them calmer.
So much for empirical evidence, though. Here's an anecdotal item from Patrick Ryan of St. Catharines, Ont.
"I had a cat named Ody, a desk … and a tape deck," he writes. "On days when I set up to play a tape in the evening and put on the earphones, Ody would jump on to the desk … facing where I sat, and rest until the music was finished, at which point he went back to his normal activities."
Later, "when the tape deck had been moved to a table at the end of a chesterfield and I was listening lying down, Ody would lie beside me for the duration of the 'concert.' You can draw your own conclusions."
A while back, Jerry Jensen of Calgary asked what happens to those bits of paper we sign when we make a credit-card purchase?
Erin Sufrin of corporate and public affairs at Visa Canada in Toronto assumes that by "bits of paper" Mr. Jensen is referring to the merchant copy of the draft (a.k.a. the receipt containing the customer's signature).
"There are several reasons merchants retain copies," she says, "one of which is to reconcile transactions for bookkeeping or accounting purposes." Another is to keep a copy of the cardholder's signature, which proves the cardholder authorized the purchase and was present for it.
The merchant must also retain transaction receipts, she writes, in case a "request for copy" is initiated by the cardholder's bank. In that scenario, the merchant would provide a copy of the signed draft to his or her bank, which would then pass it on to the customer's bank.
- From an evolutionary standpoint, why have human females shed most facial hair while males have retained it? Izzy Livne-Bar of Toronto wants to know.
- Bryce Kendrick of Sidney, B.C., would like to know what the extreme ranges of human blood pressure can be – from when a person is sleeping to weightlifting to running the 100-metre dash.
- Eric Morris of Montreal asks: Do pets prefer water that's cold or at room temperature?

Lots of improvement since the last time. Some good music choices. The light playing a big part is still neat, though I think a sense of progression may be in order. Perhaps make light more scarce as you get deeper into the game. It really screws the player over too much when your light sources all go out, though that could be solved with more summoning circles in earlier areas.

ALERT, ALERT ….There is a law change which will occur on January 1, 2013.
Next year, estate tax will affect all estates over one million dollars. Estate taxes will go back to past rates of up to 55%. This year, an estate would have to be in excess of $5,120,000 to incur any estate tax.
I love to teach with examples. Let's say you are a single person and you die with a $2,000,000 estate this year. In 2012 there wouldn't be any taxes. However, if you die next year, in 2013, and your estate is two million dollars, the tax table calculation for Federal and North Carolina estate tax is $435,000.
Please note, married couples are not typically taxed on the first death. However, if your estate is over one million dollars, planning will be necessary. If you are married and you've done a trust with me, it will protect two million dollars from estate taxes in 2013. It you didn't use us to do your estate plan, it may not protect you. For a trust to work, most of your assets must be titled in your trust name. I know my assets are funded because my bank statements, etc., have my trust name on them. If you don't have an estate plan,or it hasn't been reviewed recently,it is imperative that you are diligent or huge opportunities may be lost.
For the rest of 2012, we have a window to protect estates up to $5,120,000 from future estate taxes. Using certain strategies, we gift a portion of your estate to other family members, without incurring gift or estate tax. However, these techniques are only good if they occur in 2012. Once the date changes to 2013, this once -in -a -lifetime option is off the table.
If your estate is over one million dollars, please take the time to come in for a free meeting with our estate tax attorney, Rebecca Long, to see what if anything can be done to make sure that your family is protected from unnecessary estate taxes and court involvement.

Hi! I was in such a hurry to purchase their "free trial" because the web site stated that the offer would end in 21 minutes, so i didnt have time to research or even read their terms and conditions. First of all, i ordered both the bottles the same day, i recieved the green coffee fat burn a few days after the order and recieved the miracle saffron just yesterday(12-26-13), 3 days before my 2 week trial ended. Kind of fishy happening to both of us huh?
I tried to call yesterday and cancel my order, but i guess no one was in the office. I called today to cancel and the guy on the phone was trying to get me to keep them and charge me half price. No way dude! I ordered the FREE trial, so i could TRY it. Anyways, im shipping both my products back.
I wasnt aware of the price either when i ordered it. I was just reading an article that was on facebook about how this lady took both of these pills for a month and lost 27 lbs (thinking about it now, it was just probably a scam). $87??!! Thats ridiculous, i thought maybe it was cheaper then what i was taking(thought i was going to save a little money, nope! Ill just stick to skinny fiber. And if your wife and daughtet are still looking for a weight loss pill, maybe they should try it! Its all natural, theres some great stories out there(like really great) its been helping with peoples health issues. If you would like to try it, heres the url to the lady i order from. www.charlottejwalker.com
I didnt lose no 27lbs in a month on it(nor did i pay 87) but i lost 8lbs on it!
