About MeAmateur photographer looking to expand my photographic horizons to candid and portrait photography (preferably outdoors) as I have quite a bit of experience doing landscapes and cityscapes and don't have a studio for indoor glamour shots. Have done a few weddings and am just looking for people may be in the same boat on the other side- i.e. looking for someone to create a portfolio but don't have the money to pay a professional at this point. I am in the Vancouver area and willing to travel to take shots to almost anywhere in the Lower Mainland.

Toastmasters speech contests have three main purposes:
- To provide an opportunity for proficient speakers and those Toastmasters who are interested in competitive speaking to gain contest experience.
- To provide an interesting educational program for Toastmasters and the general public (contests can create a community awareness of the opportunities in the Toastmasters program).
- To provide an opportunity to those Toastmasters who are not participating in the the contest to learn by observing proficient speakers. They are also a great way to meet other Toastmasters outside of your club, to see the "bigger" picture and scope of Toastmasters, and above all – have fun!
Contest Rules
Each of these contests begins with competitions at the club level. Club winners compete at the local Area Contest. Area Contest winners compete at the local Division Contests. Division Contest winners compete at the District Conference. The only contest that will go beyond the District level is the International Speech Contest.
The International Speech Contest, which must be conducted in English only, follows all rules outlined in the General Rules section of the rulebook. In addition, the following additions and exceptions apply.
- The International Speech Contest begins at the club level, and proceeds through the area, division (if applicable), district, semifinal, and International levels. (Both semifinals and the International level are to be held at the International Convention)
- Every participant in the World Championship of Public Speaking must present an entirely new and different speech than given in any International Speech Contest since January 1 of that same year.
Important Notes
- Contest Schedules, location, contact person, and other information can be viewed on the District Calendar. Contest flyers will also be posted to the calendar as they become available.
- Speech contests forms and certificates are available as FREE downloads from Toastmasters International.
- See Toastmasters International Speech Contest Rule Book or web page for specific information on each contest and its rules and regulations.
- Latest changes (Announced by TI in July 2016)
Contestant Eligibility
In general, to be eligible for any contest, a contestant must be a member in good standing of a club in good standing (dues current). If a member belongs to more than one club, the member may enter the club contest for each club where he/she maintains good standing. However, a contestant may not represent more than one club at the area level, even if the clubs are in different Areas or Divisions. District officers may not compete in any contest.
For the International Speech Contest, the contestant must have completed six speech projects from the basic Communication and Leadership Program manual.
Question: What's the judge selection procedure for Area Contests?
Answer: Every area director in District 5 are asked to contact every club in their areas to recruit judge candidates. Every eligible member is encouraged to contact any area director to be a judge candidate directly, too. To ensure the selection process is fair, the selection is monitored by the chief judge and the Area/Division Director.
Per the Speech Contest Rulebook Section 5:
A. At each level of a Toastmasters speech contest, a specified number of voting judges and officials are required.
2. At area contests, there shall be an equal number of voting judges from each club in the area, or a minimum of five voting judges. In addition to these voting judges, a contest chair, chief judge, tie-breaking judge, three counters, and two timers shall be appointed.
According to the above rule, the number of voting judges will need to be either an equal number of representation from each club OR a minimum of five. As long as the minimum number of judges is met, they do not have to have equal representation from each club.
Question: Should the awards be presented right after the contest?
Answer: Each contest is intended to be organized as its own entity; however, it is common practice among areas, divisions, and districts to hold contests back to back with one award ceremony at the end. This is not a violation of the rule book.
Guidelines for Contests:

- Chief Judge Guide Book for an Area or Division Contest by Mark Kramer, DTM
- Opportunity Drawing Chair Guidebook by Mark Kramer, DTM

Secret #1 A confident woman knows that she is loved
The first and most important secret to being a confident woman is to know that you are loved by God unconditionally. Romans 5:8 says, …God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. Even if your natural father did not really love you properly, you can still get the love and acceptance you missed in your childhood from God.

Kristina's Top 5 Must-Haves for the New Year
Posted on 29 December 2016
Hello! My name is Kristina, I blog at The Eyre Effect about vintage fashion and books, and today I'm so happy to be guest-posting here at Books and Ballads about my five must-haves for the New Year.
A Good Book
Of course, as an avid reader and aspiring author, the first thing on my list is always a book. I always have some sort of reading goal every year, and in 2017 I hope to read at least 24 novels. It may not sound like a lot, but as a busy mom of two, two books a month is sometimes all I can handle! Neverhwere, by Neil Gaiman, is one of my all-time favorite novels, and I think it's the perfect fantasy to start a New Year's reading list!
A Dress that Makes you Feel Amazing
Being a fashion blogger, of course I couldn't make a list without something to wear! As a mom, I know how easy it is to slip into yoga pants and a tee shirt every day (no shame in that!), but I am a firm believer in taking time for yourself. It's so important to take little self-care acts in your daily routine as a parent. And whether that's doing your hair, taking a shower, putting on makeup, or wearing a cute outfit, it's important to find the thing that makes you feel like YOU, and do it! This Grace Karin dress is one of my favorites; its full skirt is perfect for twirling, the neckline is so flattering, and it has a cutout back! I've worn it countless times and, funny enough, this particular time was for a book review! You can see more of the review here.
Coffee (and a Mug)
As a coffee lover and a nerd, what's a better way to start a new year than with a new coffee mug? I bought this one for my husband, and I tend to steal it because... Star Wars. Ha! It's always fun to add a new mug to your collection, though, even if you're a tea-drinker, and it's a nice little way to treat yourself.
The Perfect Bold Lipstick
Of course not everyone is into black lipstick, but what better time to try something new? This NYX liquid suede lipstick in Oh, Put it On is one of my favorite go-to lipcolors for when I want to feel extra bold. It might be funny to say, but lipstick can be totally transformative! I went from feeling just so-so on this day to feeling like nothing could stop me, all because of a bold lipstick choice! (You can see more of this post here)
A Journal
And lastly, I always want to journal in the New Year. I'm not a very good journalist, as I generally fill up about half the journal and then forget to write more. But, I still love picking up new journals to try to fill up every year. This one reminds me of Lord of the Rings and I love it! My husband and I met over our mutual love of Tolkien, and you could say that if it hadn't been for Tolkien, we may never have gotten married. Anything that reminds me of Middle Earth is always a good thing!And that's it! Those are my five must-haves for the New Year! What are yours? Thank you for reading, and be sure to come visit my blog for lots of vintage and retro fashion and, always, books.

Using Marketing Gifts To Market Your Small Business
The site provides open, publicly accessible communication tools for entrepreneurs and small business owners to learn, share, and discuss practical solutions to everyday business problems with each other, industry experts, and experts at government agencies. This will be closely related to the budget aspect of your business plan; the more people necessary to run the operation, then the more money you will need to start out. Every business activity should have a measurable return on investment, regardless of what type of value it brings to the company. If you own a business that caters to a high clientele of foreign speakers, you'll want to do all you can to accommodate them. If there are already so many businesses doing what you're considering that you can't figure out how to make yourself stand out then choose another business idea. If you perform adequate research, you'll most definitely find that a massive selection of products are available for online marketing opportunities. Both residential and commercial moving businesses are actually lucrative business to start at any time.
This is where internet marketing comes in. You will have to learn different internet marketing methods and master them, then work with those methods to promote your business to drive constant traffic to it. Unless they dominate with the status of a Michael Jordan back in the day, this year's NBA Trade hasn't left too many major players feeling exempt from becoming a business transaction. If it's a more abstract inspiration that you need such as colour or texture then art, photography and nature sites are fantastic sources of ideas. Offer your services to a corporation, law firm or local business to perform research. This one is just the list of small business ideas that came to my mind as I am typing this article. Put all of them into a list so that when you want to make the final decision, you can use that list to weigh various opportunities. Internet online business ideas and opportunities that apply direct sales systems generate passive income.
You can write for yourself and establish an online reputation through a niche blog. Under some of the types of businesses (Artist, for instance) we've mentioned particular products or services that might be offered either as the main business or as one of the business' offerings. With things going south again in the general economy, now more than ever we need to be future-proofing our kids with good old self-reliant business attitudes. That is where the issue of skills becomes essential in internet affiliate marketing business.
And it has yet to allow shoppers to pick up online orders in store, a service Zara already provides and which Roberts of Kantar Retail says is essential to beat online-only players as it keeps costs low and gets customers into shops to buy more. This summer I am going to start a couple of my own side businesses and a few of the ideas in your article sound really fun and interesting to me. I also think that having the variety of running several small side businesses will help me combat boredom and increase my experiance with entreprenuership. Hal Gregersen, executive director of the MIT Leadership Center, says embracing new ideas can be difficult for large organizations, especially those focused on results, execution and improving profits from existing business lines. Accel backs entrepreneurs who have what it takes to build a world-class, category-defining business.
You properly do not have to create a product at all if you do not have one, through online affiliate programs, people still generate huge passive income through other people products, You earn commission through selling other people products. If you live in a country where agriculture plays a significant role in the economy, especially where rice and cassava are grown, you can start rice or cassava mill business. The best form of marketing for online businesses is search engine optimizations or SEO. Secretarial services, email publishing, answering online questions for businesses. Platforms must be able to conduct due diligence not only with the project initiators but the donors as well and this will be a lot better if they get to use government resources to do this like business registrations and background checks.
Other online companies providing website analysis, reviews, evaluation, and appreciation (value), such as Cubestat and Sitevaluecheck must be inquired also, as they provide not just updated worth of the company's website but as well as many other very important information in gauging the online-based company, including site traffic and where most site visitors come from, demography of visitors, back link depth, among others. Most companies need their websites refreshed with articles on a regular basis to stay on top of Google rankings.
For example, while laptop models are trendy for a particular number of years only, laptops in general, belonging to a specific price bracket, are a necessity for office workers and business people. The interior decoration of any apartment, office or commercial space is an important issue and nowadays people are quite fascinated about the uniqueness in decorating their own house or office with newer ideas and materials. If you think I need to set up a PPC campaign so that I can get people into my business today because I need money right now then you'll most likely do the following. The online community have a greater respect to a well known entrepreneur and tend to show loyalty to a proven small business owner.
It is possible to find software that provides you with online bookkeeping tools that can simplify the process of keeping books. Most businesses need to have financial help from lending institutes to provide the capital equipment their business needs to function. In every online business, there will always come a time when the need for analysis of data will arise. Others have bought universal business venture seeker leads and qualify them by phone. The concept is the same as promoting your own product, only promoting affiliate products will land you just a percentage of the total sale rather than all of it. Still all in all this can be a very lucrative business as well.
Online you will come across many affiliate programs that are allowing you to sell many types of products; you should pick a product which goes with your websites theme. Many startups seek part-time and commission-only salespeople, especially when they're just getting started, which means you'll often be able to make this a home based business. For those who prefer a more stable and constant influx of profit, online job hunting may prove to be better among all internet business ideas, as there is no need to build any website or sell any kind of product. In addition, public support for non-traditional business concepts can be difficult to secure.
The online home business is also a seed that you must plant, water, and look after. The turnover of the online sale rests on how best you are able to popularize your website and how much traffic you are able to drive to your website. Availability of online greeting cards has crippled greeting cards business dramatically. There is no such thing as an easy or effortless business, and I would NEVER mislead someone into believing that a business of any kind would be easy to just start and instantly become successful. Additionally, you can identify a gap in the existing technology and apply your innovative ideas to bridge the gap. In this article we will give you four easy work from home business ideas that you maybe looking for. There are plenty of small business ideas you can make use of to make money online.
The craziness of YouTube culture can get quite heady at times when online parasocial interaction transforms into offline engagement, but Alfie stresses that there are only positives when it comes to his young viewers looking up to him. This online business idea is extremely easy and you will never exert a lot of effort just to earn huge profits. If you know something, and you know how to teach it well, ideas for an online business abound and can be very fulfilling – and profitable. To make enough money from online surveys, you have to create time to take them. Although emulation of successful business practices is the goal, it is important for people to change practices to fit your own business. Seven: Membership site – When you are new to online business, this one is a little harder to get started. It's best to stay with a similar subject in order for your blogs to be most popular.
You will need to focus on location, work environment, job opportunities, mission statement corporate culture and opportunities for development and advancement. Starting a new business is a gamble and it will be tough, especially during the first six months or so, but things get easier as you figure things out. Silly products that you can sell online on eBay are one thing; creating sustainable online businesses are another. Receiving a new diagnosis or helping a loved one through a health crisis can motivate even the most squeamish or technology-averse people to dive into the world of online health information Websites also fill in when people can't take time off work or afford the money to see a doctor. The only experience I have in making money online from home is through writing for HubPages. Make sure you stay professional, since being otherwise may cause you to lose users.
We go to the store and we buy what we need, never thinking about where it comes from or what's in it. I think a small business school like this that teaches people how to survive off the grid and independently would really make it. Of course, with this idea you would have to have a good sized area and facilities to house your students and teachers. Even though you should post professional videos, don't neglect posting some personal videos that may have nothing to do with your business. The competition allows all potential candidates to apply online on and go through the assessment and evaluation process before participating in select workshops and sessions in order to present their business ideas to the judging committee for the selection of the winners in each of the categories. Catapulting one's career in affiliate marketing is not an easy task considering all the competition involved in the business.
Yes Ihchan-I feel a lot better about buying my son Legos now that I know they will be part of his business later! Therefore, making a website is not a worry, as by searching online you will surly come across a convenient and easy way of making your own website. Isn't their primary source of income making money online for most people; it can be a substitute of solid supplement stream of income every month. Formulating a business plan is a vital process in order for a home internet marketing business to have any chance to succeed.
This is one of the best online business ideas because it allows for creativity on a number of platforms. While online directories have been around for a long time, but you'd be surprised how few directories are out there that are targeted to specific niches or markets. If you want to make more money online you need to think like a marketer and not always like a blogger. There are many different business's you can run from home, this article should give you some ideas for home-based businesses that may work for you. In addition to having a website, online ordering is fast becoming a trendier thing and it is a neat way to bring additional business to your restaurant. Choose a home business that you will like and one that you can see yourself doing far into the future.

Smithville real estate is as fantastic as its quality of life. In Smithville you can find homes for sale in the many established neighborhoods or among the more recently developed communities that have been created as more people discover the wonders of the city and want to live here instead of just visiting. Smithville offers a wide variety of home styles for sale on an array of lot sizes that include expansive farm and ranch properties.
Homes in Smithville typically start at around $100,000 for a simple modular home, and can range upwards of over $1 million for an all-out luxury abode, which are becoming more and more common as the area continues to grow. Because it remained such a quaint town for so long, it's still largely characterized by homes from the 1960s and 70s, but don't let the age of the homes deter you; many of them are in exceptional condition and have been meticulousely upgraded throuhgout the years to include contemporary interiors and modern amenities.
One of the most appealing things about homes in Smithville is the abundance of property that a majority of the homes enjoy. Unlike the big city, where property would const substantially more, you could buy a generous home with over 10 acres of lush property for the same price as a nice condo in downtown Austin or San Antonio. If you have an equestrian-based lifestyle, then there's really no better place than Smithville to call home for not just you, but your Stallions too!
Like many of the small cities and towns in Central Texas, Smithville began to develop when the railroad made it a major hub in its early days and excellent examples of the Greek Revival, Classical Revival, Victorian and Queen Anne architectural styles are still prominently displayed and preserved throughout the city and its neighborhoods. Throughout Smithville's Main Street and downtown area these historic structures are still home to antique shops, cafes and stores where friendly proprietors warmly greet you when you enter. This amazing small-town atmosphere could have been the inspiration for many Norman Rockwell paintings but instead has translated perfectly to the silver screen. Smithville was selected to be the first city to be named "Film and Family Friendly" by the Texas Film Commission after it was used as a location for several films.
As you can expect, Smithville and its residents have plenty of events to celebrate their way of life throughout the year. Notable events include the Smithville Jamboree which has been held every March for over 50 years. The Jamboree is a form of homecoming of sorts for the city and features live music, food vendors, car shows, games, and amusement rides and much more. New events include the Smithville Music Festival which since 2009 has brought incredible national musicians in a variety of genres to perform at Vernon Richards Riverbend Park along the Colorado River. These events along with many others held throughout the year make life in Smithville simply amazing.
Smithville's outdoor enthusiasts have their choice in how to pursue their favorite past-time activities, too. Central Texas's amazing and nearly perfect year-round weather allows Smithville homebuyers to enjoy the city's many parks and two nearby state parks for organized, and unorganized, games of soccer, softball, baseball, or just picnicking with the family. Those who enjoy fishing and boating love access to the pristine Colorado River and Lake Bastrop. Golfing options in the Smithville area include Bastrop's Lost Pines Golf Club, ColoVista Golf Club, Pine Forest Golf Club, Wolfdancer Golf Club or even in nearby LaGrange at the Frisch Auf Country Club.

How To Clean Your Colon Take a look at some colon cleansing tips.
How To Clean Your Colon – Why Knowing how to clean your colon is no doubt important in many regards as far as your colon health is concerned. But you will learn through this website no everyone agrees with the last statement! Before we get into the details of how to clean your colon, we need to spend some time understanding or debating whether or not colon cleansing or keeping your colon clean is necessary. The reason for this is not everyone agrees cleaning up your colon will benefit you or your body as far as health is concerned. Therefore, it is imperative to establish the position or at least the argument that cleaning one's colon is beneficial to one's health or not. This is not an easy task to accomplish. We don't pretend you will get a definite answer from this short article or post. But, we hope at least you and I can at least discuss with some basis as to why we should or should not clean our colon. So, this will be the preface for getting into how to clean your colon. Medically, colon is the place where toxins and wastes are temporarily stored before they exit the body through the anus. Today, we have come to know many terminal illnesses such as colon cancer has taken the lives of many patients. Based on the information from the American Cancer Foundation, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US is colorectal cancer. The problem with colon cancer is the short time frame a patient's live can be taken before full treatment can be undertaken, and the patient's condition is often at the end stage which makes treatment extremely urgent and difficult.

POSTINGS: Office Leasing; Big Spaces Find New Users
Published: February 20, 1994
Here are some of last year's big real estate questions:
Where would Deloitte & Touche, the only major World Trade Center tenant that never moved back after last year's bombing, end up?
Would Merrill Lynch ever sublet its remaining space at World Financial Center?
Would Kidder, Peabody, which received major tax incentives to stay in New York, stay downtown?
And would Tishman Speyer, which assumed Coopers & Lybrand's lease at 1251 Avenue of the Americas, on 51st Street, when the accounting firm moved to a Tishman building four years ago, ever get rid of the space?
And here are the answers:
This summer, Deloitte will move about 2,000 people into nearly 320,000 square feet of Merrill's space, about a third more than Merrill had been looking to sublet.
"We can put our people elsewhere in the building," said Mark E. Brooks, Merrill's director of real-estate planning.
Kidder, Peabody, whose leases at 10 Hanover Square and at 60 Broad Street both expire next year, is moving its headquarters to some of NBC's space at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and its trading operations to the Coopers space. Mitsui Fudosan, 1251's owner, has let Tishman buy its way out of the lease, which had three years more to run, so that Mitsui could write a longer lease for Kidder.
The deal marks the end of a frustrating few years for Tishman, which had thought it could easily sublet the space.
"Who expected the market to collapse?" asked Geoffrey P. Wharton, Tishman's managing director.

- Stay up to date with Everything about SWTOR Patch 5.2 The War for Iokath
This guide will help you better understand the mechanics of Tyth The God of Rage – first boss encounter in a brand new SWTOR Operation called "The Gods From The Machine".
The encounter begins with only Tyth sitting in the middle of the circular area. It would be a good idea to tank him near the edge of the platform and facing out/away from the group. During the fight there will ads spawning in waves of 3 or 4 (will confirm later). Below I will describe the different types of adds that may spawn. What and how m any of each type per spawn wave you will have, is always random.
The boss has a unique buff that reads:
Tyth's rage builds every time an ally falls in battle. Tyth builds a great deal of rage if one of his own attacks kills an ally. Tyth's rage will begin to subside on its own if he has not gained rage recently. Tyth's rage is also diminished by certain support abilities from his allies. Every stack of rage increases Tyth's damage. Tyth's AoE attacks begin to impact a wider area at 3 stacks, and again at 6 stacks. At 10 stacks Tyth's rage will begin to overflow uncontrollably.
This means that a fine balance must be found while fighting the boss. Allowing a team member to die may result in a wipe, even in story mode. It depends on the current stage of the fight and the number of stacks the boss has.
The way to lower Tyth's rage is to allow a Grace droid (more on these below) to heal him or simply by kiting his adds and not killing them for a certain period of time. There is no right formula for how many adds to kill and when because of the randomness of adds spawn. Once the stacks reach numbers of 10 or higher, it's very likely that the boss may start one-shooting players.
It's unwise to allow Tyth's rage counter to reach high numbers as the raid-wide unavoidable damage may one-shot players who are on low HP.
There is no need for a tank swap in Story Mode. It's even possible to do the encounter with only 1 tank.
Tyth's HP: 5.4 mill
Tyth's Special Attacks
- Frontal Cleave – Frontal attack, dealing damage in a cone area in front of the boss. In Story Mode it's preferred that the tank brings Tyth to the edge of the platform and put him in a position so he faces the edge. The cone is ~45 deg. in Story Mode.
- Energy Wave – Frontal channeled attack (2.4s channel) that follows the tank. It's easy to point it out and away from any group members.
During the encounter you will see 4 different types of adds spawning in waves of 4 waves at first and 5 per wave after half of Tyth's HP is gone. Here is a brief description of each type and what they do or what you should do when you see them spawn. The adds spawn location is marked on the ground with a colored sign, so you will know where they are expected to appear each time a new wave is about to spawn. Waves spawn regardless if the previous one has been dealt with. In certain cases you may end up with a lot of adds in the arena. All adds can be stunned, channels can be interrupted.
- Grace (Green Add, 87k HP) – Healing Tyth with a 4s channel ability called Aivela's Restoration while at the same time lowering his Rage Stacks. The channel can be interrupted. The 4th time Grace does its ability, it takes off 3 stacks from Tyth's rage and also puts a 50% damage reduction buff on the boss for a short duration.
- Lance (Red Add, 87k HP) – Creates a projected frontal attack called Energy Lance that affects everything in a narrow rectangular area in front of him. If you place the red telegraph over a shielded Justice add, they lose their shield.
- Justice (Blue Add, 87k HP) – Spawns a circle around them in a small area. Only players inside the circle can damage them, while also taking constant damage from the energy circle as well.
- Guardian (Yellow Add, 87k HP) – Melee damage dealing add that often goes for the healers. Could be dealt with quickly or kited by a 2nd tank. Guardians attack when in 4m range, but once they reach the target, they will hit it regardless of how far the player runs away. Kiting is effective if the Guardians are always kept in range greater than 4m.
Tyth's HP: 7 mill for 8 man and 14 mill for 16 man. Enrage is 9 min.
The Veteran Mode of this fight introduces one new mechanic called Inversion. The best spot to tank the boss is still near the edge of the platform. A working strategy is to kill the first 2 waves of spawning droid adds and interrupt the Grace 3 times. Let their 4th attempt of channel lower Tyth's stacks and then kill them too.
- Inversion – New mechanic! A blue circle appears around the boss and channels for 5.0s. At the end of the channel all players standing inside the circle are pushed outside across the middle point of the circle (!) and receive a damage boost + healing received bonus. The push radius is about half the distance of the arena. Players standing outside the circle get pulled towards the boss and the middle of the circle and receive a damage dealing debuff. This new channeled attack repeats every ~35-40s until the end of the encounter. It's recommended that everyone get in the blue circle before the channel ends. The duration of the damage debuff is longer than the duration of the damage buff.
- Frontal Cone – The attack is full frontal 180 deg. in Veteran Mode.
- Energy Wave – the telegraph seems wider, although I am not 100% sure on that. If it is, it's not by much.
- Tank Swap – In Veteran Mode tanks swap right after each Inversion. During Inversion the off-tank needs to stay out and get pulled in for the tank-swap mechanic to work properly or Tyth may target another player. Healers must cleanse the debuff that tanks receive. Cleanse is to be done at 5 stacks or less. The off-tank can pick up Guardian droid adds and group them up for AoE damage and quick kill.
- If Tyth kills a droid in Veteran Mode, the boss gets a double stack increase. When adds spawn under or very close to the boss, it is recommended to move Tyth to another clean area. Every 3 stacks of Rage increase Tyth's AoE attacks, thus increasing the chance for him to kill an add and increase his rage stacks even more.
- Below 30% HP Tyth enters a burn phase in which he builds 2 rage every 12 seconds. It is recommended that the group focus on the boss and try to finish him off, while the healers (they usually have highest aggro from the drones) kite the remaining adds.

The Great Commission….." If I did not believe in God"
I sent my son off again this evening, to Bible study. I do not completely rely on Bible studies to radically influence his mind. I do however, believe that seeds of any sort…being planted, will grow. I choose to plant seeds of faith.
One day he asked me: "What if I did not believe in God……would you still love me and care about me?"
"ABSOLUTELY!" You are my child. No matter what you do, even if you do not believe in God, I will always love you and be proud of you.
With no hesitation, I responded to him.
"Even when I do bad things?"
"Even when you do bad things."
"I do believe in God though…..I was just asking."
I have a bright 7 year old. I am so rich! I loved when he asked that question because it shifts our relationship to not just love, but trust in the midst of adversities in life. We all need people who will not hurtfully judge us and to be in our corners, when our situations in life are out of the ordinary.
How we love, also shows the love of God. Our unconditional love is a testament of the love of God.
He tilted his head up to me to kiss him. I kissed him on his cheek while the bus was arriving and he wiped it off. I laughed. I get it. I do not get sad or worried……that same little boy wiping away moms kisses, runs up to me every morning while I'm making breakfast, and wraps his little arms around me, and gives me the biggest baby cub hug, ever.
The Great Commission starts at home.

New Hampshire (/nuːˈhæmpʃər/ (help·info)) is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. The state was named after the southern English county of Hampshire. It borders Massachusetts to the south, Vermont to the west, Maine to the east, and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north. New Hampshire ranks 44th in land area, 46th in total area of the 50 states, and 41st in population. It became the first post-colonial sovereign nation in the Americas when it broke off from Great Britain in January 1776, and was one of the original thirteen States that founded the United States of America six months later. It was the ninth state to ratify the United States Constitution, bringing that document into effect. New Hampshire was the first U.S. state to have its own state constitution, and is the only state with neither a general sales tax nor a personal income tax at either the state or local level.[4] Concord is the state capital, while Manchester is the largest city in the state.
It is known internationally for the New Hampshire primary, the first primary in the quadrennial U.S. presidential election cycle.
Its license plates carry the state motto: "Live Free or Die." The state nickname is "The Granite State", in reference to its geology and its tradition of self-sufficiency. Several other official nicknames exist but are rarely used.[5]
Among prominent individuals from New Hampshire are founding father Nicholas Gilman, Senator Daniel Webster, editor Horace Greeley, founder of the Christian Science religion Mary Baker Eddy, poet Robert Frost, author Dan Brown, and comedians Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, and Seth Meyers. New Hampshire has produced one president, Franklin Pierce.
New Hampshire's recreational attractions include skiing and other winter sports, observing the fall foliage, summer cottages along many lakes, motor sports at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Motorcycle Week, a popular motorcycle rally held in Laconia in June.
See List of counties in New Hampshire, List of mountains in New Hampshire, List of lakes in New Hampshire, and List of rivers in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is part of the New England region. It is bounded by Quebec, Canada to the north and northwest; Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east; Massachusetts to the south; and Vermont to the west. New Hampshire's major regions are the Great North Woods, the White Mountains, the Lakes Region, the Seacoast, the Merrimack Valley, the Monadnock Region, and the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee area. New Hampshire has the shortest ocean coastline of any U.S. coastal state, with a length of 18 miles (29 km).New Hampshire was home to the rock formation called the Old Man of the Mountain, a face-like profile in Franconia Notch, until the formation fell apart in May 2003.
The White Mountains range in New Hampshire spans the north-central portion of the state, with Mount Washington the tallest in the northeastern U.S., and other mountains like Mount Madison and Mount Adams surrounding it. With hurricane-force winds every third day on average, over 100 recorded deaths among visitors, and conspicuous krumholtz (dwarf, matted trees much like a carpet of bonsai trees), the upper reaches of Mount Washington claim the title of "worst weather on earth." A non-profit weather observatory is on the peak.
In the flatter southwest corner of New Hampshire, the landmark Mount Monadnock has given its name to a class of earth-forms—a monadnock—signifying, in geomorphology, any isolated resistant peak rising from a less resistant eroded plain.
Major rivers include the 110-mile (177 km) Merrimack River, which bisects the lower half of the state north-south and ends up in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Its tributaries include the Contoocook River, Pemigewasset River, and Winnipesaukee River. The 410-mile (660 km) Connecticut River, which starts at New Hampshire's Connecticut Lakes and flows south to Connecticut, defines the western border with Vermont. The state border is not in the center of that river, as usually the case, but at the low-water mark on the Vermont side; so New Hampshire owns the entire river where it runs adjacent to Vermont.[6] The "northwesternmost headwaters" of the Connecticut also define the Canadian border with New Hampshire.
The Piscataqua River and its several tributaries form the state's only significant ocean port where they flow into the Atlantic at Portsmouth. The Salmon Falls River and the Piscataqua define the southern portion of the border with Maine. The state has an ongoing boundary dispute with Maine in the area of Portsmouth Harbor, with New Hampshire claiming dominion over several islands (now known as Seavey Island) that include the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard as well as to the Maine towns of Kittery and Berwick.
The largest lake is Lake Winnipesaukee, which covers 72 square miles (186 km2) in the east-central part of New Hampshire.
Hampton Beach is a popular local summer destination. About 10 miles (16 km) offshore are the Isles of Shoals, nine small islands (four of which are in New Hampshire) known as the site of a 19th century art colony founded by poet Celia Thaxter, as well as the alleged location of one of the buried treasures of the pirate Blackbeard.
It is the second most forested state in the country, after Maine, in percentage of land covered by woods. This change was caused by the abandonment of farms during the 20th century as many farmers took wage jobs in urban areas or moved to more productive areas. The return of woodlands from open fields forms the subject of many poems by Robert Frost.
The northern third of the state is locally referred to as the "north country" or "north of the notches," in reference to White Mountain passes that channel traffic. It contains less than 5% of the state's population, suffers relatively high poverty, and is losing population as the logging and paper industries decline. However, the tourist industry, in particular visitors who go to northern New Hampshire to ski, has helped offset economic losses from mill closures.
New Hampshire experiences a humid continental climate (Koppen climate classification Dfa in southern areas and Dfb in the north), with warm, humid summers, cold, wet winters, and uniform precipitation all year. The climate of the southeastern portion is moderated by the Atlantic Ocean and averages relatively milder and wetter weather, while the northern and interior portions experience cooler temperatures and lower humidity. Winters are cold and snowy throughout the state, and especially severe in the northern and mountainous areas. Average annual snowfall ranges from 60 inches (150 cm) to over 100 inches (250 cm) across the state.[7]
Average daytime highs are in the mid 70s°F to low 80s°F (around 24-28 °C) throughout the state in July, with overnight lows in the mid 50s°F to low 60s°F (13-15 °C). January temperatures range from an average high of 34 °F (1 °C) on the coast to overnight lows below 0 °F (−18 °C) in the far north and at high elevations. Average annual precipitation statewide is roughly 40 inches (100 cm) with some variation occurring in the White Mountains due to differences in elevation and annual snowfall.
Extreme snow is often associated with a nor'easter, such as the Blizzard of '78 and the Blizzard of 1993, when several feet accumulated across portions of the state over 24 to 48 hours. Lighter snowfall of several inches occur frequently throughout winter, often associated with an Alberta Clipper.
New Hampshire, on occasion, is affected by hurricanes and tropical storms although by the time they reach the state they are often extratropical, with most storms striking the southern New England coastline and moving inland or passing by offshore in the Gulf of Maine. Most of New Hampshire averages fewer than 20 days of thunderstorms per year and an average of 2 tornadoes occur annually statewide.[8]
The National Arbor Day Foundation plant hardiness zone map depicts zones 3, 4, 5, and 6 occurring throughout the state[9] and indicates the transition from a relatively cooler to warmer climate as one travels southward across New Hampshire.
Metropolitan areas
Metropolitan areas in the New England region are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs). The following is a list of NECTAs in New Hampshire:
* Berlin * Claremont * Concord * Franklin * Keene * Laconia
* Lebanon - Hartland, VT * Manchester * Nashua Metropolitan Division (part of Boston metropolitan area) * Portsmouth * Rochester - Dover
Percentage of New Hampshire residents by religion (from USA Today):[15]
* Christian – 72% o Catholic – 35% o Protestant – 32% + Baptist – 6% + Congregational/United Church of Christ – 6% + Episcopal/Anglican – 4% + Methodist – 3% + Lutheran – 1% + Pentecostal/Charismatic – 1% + Presbyterian – 1% + Protestant, no supplied denomination – 10% o Unspecified Christian – 5% * Jewish – 1% * Other – 2% * No religion – 17% * Less than 0.5% each –
In 2006, New Hampshire had the lowest birth rate in the nation.[1]
As of 2005, New Hampshire has an estimated population of 1,309,940, which is an increase of 10,771, or 0.8%, from the prior year and an increase of 74,154, or 6.0%, since the year 2000. This includes a natural increase since the last census of 23,872 people (that is 75,060 births minus 51,188 deaths) and an increase due to net migration of 51,968 people into the state. Immigration from outside the United States resulted in a net increase of 11,107 people, and migration within the country produced a net increase of 40,861 people.
The center of population of New Hampshire is located in Merrimack County, in the town of Pembroke.[10] The center of population has moved south 12 miles (19 km) since 1950,[11] a reflection of the fact that the fastest growth in the state has been along its southern border, which is within commuting range of Boston and other Massachusetts cities.
As of 2004, the population includes 64,000 residents born outside the United States (4.9%).
In 2006, New Hampshire had the lowest birth rate in the nation.
Ancestry groups
The largest ancestry groups in New Hampshire are:[13]
* Flag of France Flag of Canada Flag of Quebec 26.6% French (French or French Canadian) * Flag of Ireland 21.1% Irish * Flag of England 20.1% English * Flag of Italy 10.4% Italian * Flag of Germany 10.3% German * Flag of Scotland 7.8% Scottish or Scots-Irish
The large Irish American and French-Canadian populations are descended largely from mill workers, and many still live in the former mill towns, like Manchester. New Hampshire has the highest percentage of residents of French/French-Canadian ancestry of any U.S. state.
According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 3.41% of the population aged 5 and over speak French at home, while 1.60% speak Spanish.[14]
Percentage of New Hampshire residents by religion
* Christian – 72% o Catholic – 35% o Protestant – 32% + Baptist – 6% + Congregational/United Church of Christ – 6% + Episcopal/Anglican – 4% + Methodist – 3% + Lutheran – 1% + Pentecostal/Charismatic – 1% + Presbyterian – 1% + Protestant, no supplied denomination – 10% o Unspecified Christian – 5% * Jewish – 1% * Other – 2% * No religion – 17% * Less than 0.5% each –
A survey suggests that people in New Hampshire and Vermont[16] are less likely to attend weekly services and are less likely to believe in God (54%) than people in the rest of the nation (71%). The two states are at the lowest levels among states in religious commitment. About 23% percent of the respondents attend religious service at least once a week (39% nationally). Thirty-six percent said religion is very important to them (56% nationally).[17] According to the ARDA the largest single Protestant denominations are the United Church of Christ with 34,299; and the United Methodist Church with 18,927 members. The Catholic Church had 431,259 members.

Mad Men Are True New Yorkers (And Yankee Fans)
Jun 25
New York is a city that loves its rivalries. This weekend, one of the true original New York rivalries gets resurrected —The Yankees vs. The Dodgers. Even though the Dodgers left Brooklyn more than 50 years ago, the history between the two great New York clubs will last forever.
As we watch the Yankees in their classic NY hats take on the Dodgers in Hollywood's backyard this weekend, we can't help but think that only one of these teams represent true New Yorkers (we'll give Brooklyn native Joe Torre a pass, even though he's managing the Dodgers).
But then maybe it's because we think our agency really knows New York. Bodden Partners' Chief Marketing Officer, Marty Mitchell, was very involved in the strategy behind the "I love New York" advertising campaign. And, Mal MacDougall, the Executive Creative Director, was instrumental in getting the publisher of the NY Daily News to challenge its rival to a game of stickball in Brooklyn to see who was the true New Yorker.
So which team are you rooting for tonight? If you're a true New Yorker, too, then we already know.
