Maybe If the Residents and Parents in the RCS School District Would Shut Up Long Enough to Hear Some Good Sense and STOP Listening to the Self-Serving Lies of the Teachers Clique Guided by the Teachers Union This District Could Actually Achieve What the Vorheesville District has Achieved: 98% Graduation Rates!
And maybe, if the teachers clique on the RCS board of education–Alice Whalen, Howard Engel, James Latter, Edward Reville— would stop playing their stupid games and bullying the other members some real work could get done and this school district lifted out of the cesspool of corruption and scandal into which it's been dumped by the special interest groups and the Coeymanazi greed machine!
Listen up, people: You're bitching and moaning about internal accounting and missing the whole point: You're trailing Vorheesville, YES MR ALAN MCCARNEY"S FORMER DISTRICT, by a good 20 percent in graduation rates!
Top Capital Region Public High Schools
In another survey, I found: "Since the 2010 Challenge Index has not been extended nation-wide yet, I looked at the 2009 List of 1,500 Top US Public High Schools which compares 2008 test figures. Then I sorted the list, to just look at the 2009 Top US Public High Schools In New York. As a state, we fare very well on the list with 180 schools ranking between #13 through #1527. Of that number, the Capital Region claims five schools on the list of top US high schools."
Unfortunately RCS does not appear in these five but Vorheesville is No. 1 in the list of Capital District Schools where RCS doesn't even make the list!. And the fact is, since Mr Alan McCartney's retirement from the Vorheesville district in 2006, Vorheesville dropped from No. 228 (in 2006) to No. 500 (in 2010)! And it's still No. 1 in the Capitol District! Try to spin that Alice Whalen, Matt "the Mutt" Miller!

In fact, According to the NYS Public School District Total Cohort Graduation Rate and Enrollment Outcome Summary, 2010-11 School Year, RCS has consistently hovered around the mid-to-high 70's in graduation rates while Vorheesville has consistently been in the range of 93-98%!!!!
Maybe some of the nay-sayers and those who are in chronic denial should take a closer look at the wisdom of the RCS Board of Education's choice for superintendent. Mr McCartney seems to have known what he was doing back in 2006 as far as running a school district and the effects seem to have been lasting. Maybe McCartney can get RCS back on track and move the RCS district out of the mediocre into the superior range of graduation rates!

Unlike your Coeymanazi keepers, the New York State ED numbers don't lie. Maybe you should be thanking the BoE majority for their insight and wisdom and finally tell the special-interest group on the board, Alice Whalen, Howard Engel, James Latter, and Edward Reville to shut up and get to work. Enough already with the accusations, the finger-pointing and the misinformation. And Matt the Mutt Miller, the double-dipping, immoral, teachers union rep should start earning his teachers salary and keep his bald mouth shut!
Ravena (October 17, 2012). Contrary to expectations, the local rag, the Ravena News Herald, in an article entitled "BOE hires interim superintendent by close margin," by Melanie Leckocevic, presented a relatively balanced report on the RCS BoE's hiring of Dr McCartney. Ms Leckocevic was convincing as a journalist in that article, although in our opinion she did focus excessively on the contrived "scandal" side and was somewhat repetitive. I had to smirk with some self-satisfaction because the article fit so nicely with this blog which I had posted earlier. Maybe Ms L. could do some investigative fact fnding next time. Thank you! Melanie. The Editor.

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan today welcomed news of the peaceful elections in Kenya and congratulated new President Mwai Kibaki and the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) for their victory.
A statement issued by a UN spokesman in Nairobi said the Secretary-General commended the people of Kenya for their "enthusiastic and orderly participation" in the elections. The UN leader also praised President Daniel arap Moi and the electoral authorities of Kenya for overseeing a well-organized and credible balloting process, as well as the Kenya African National Union (KANU) for accepting the outcome of the voting.
"The Secretary-General reiterates that the United Nations will continue to support the efforts of the new Government and people of Kenya to consolidate the democratic process, improve governance and foster economic development," the statement said. "He looks forward to working closely with the government in support of its lead role in efforts to facilitate a negotiated settlement of the conflicts in Somalia and Sudan."

Please reference Schedule A and Schedule B for a summary of the conference budget through August 2014. As a result of the faithful giving of EPA local churches to the connectional ministries fund or CMF we ended 2013 with a very strong result of $3,279,179. While this was short of the budget goal of $3.4 million by $120,821 or 3%, it was a reasonable variance. Given the ongoing struggles of many churches we are pleased and grateful for the commitment made by many to support this vital ministry.
Through eight months of 2014 giving from local churches to CMF was $1,937,632. This was $329,035 less than budget and $121,890 less than the amount received from August 2013. An analysis after eight months shows that the majority of churches are "on budget". However, there are 148 churches or 35% that have paid less than 50%. Fifty-Six (56) churches have paid zero through eight months toward CMF. The district offices and CCFA are kept abreast of this and will follow up.
The conference expense budget was managed very effectively in 2013 by all committee, boards, agencies and others. Total expenses were $2,749,881, $100,255 or 3.5% less than the 2013 budget of $2,850,136, and $156,994 or 5.4% less than 2012 expenses. In addition, the 2013 conference budget included a line item of $549,864 to be directed to the Pre-82 Unfunded Liability. The good news is that 2013 ended producing $529,298 to the Pre-82 Pension Liability only $20,566 or 3.7% short of the budget goal. Lower expenses helped to offset the shortfall in giving. In the first two years under resolution 2012-21, the conference budget directed a total of $731,381 to the Pre-82 Pension Liability.
Through eight months of 2014, conference expenses totalled $1,916,605, and were $110,531 or 5.5% less than budget. For cost center budgets, reference Schedule B.
Schedule C is a summary of all funds billed to the EPA local churches showing the amount billed, amount paid and balance remaining. This information is reported for the current year through August 2014 with comparative information for the previous year at the same period. In addition, the schedule shows the paid results for three previous full years, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Through August 2014 a total of $9.8 million or 54% of the total billed was paid by local churches for all funds. This result is 3% less than the amount paid by local churches for all funds at the end of August 2013 when churches paid a total of $10.9 million or 57% of the total billed.
This is a significant variance as 3% points on $18.3 million billed is $548 thousand. Through eight months, 319 churches paid more than 50% of all billed funds (pension, health insurance, property & liability and workers compensation) and 103 churches paid less than 50%. A full report listing all funds for all churches is provided each month to CCFA and the Cabinet.
The 2013 conference budget included a line item of $549,864 to be directed to the Pre-82 Unfunded Liability according to Resolution 2012-21. The year ended producing $529,298 to the Pre-82 Pension Liability only $20,566 short of the budget goal. In the first two years under resolution 2012-21, the conference budget directed a total of $731,381 to the Pre-82 Pension Liability. The balance in this account as of July 31, 2014 is $775,274.
As to the strategy in the resolution on church sales, since the resolution was passed there have been four church sales that generated net proceeds of $398,516. Fifty percent (50%) or $199,258 has been directed to the Pre-82 Pension Liability and the balance in the account as of July 31, 2014 is $215,583.
A total, from these two strategies directed to the Pre-82 unfunded liability after two years is $990,857. Fulfilling Our Covenant Stewardship Campaign is the third strategy included in Resolution 2012-21. The goal was to raise a minimum of $3 million.
As of September 2, 2014, a total of $3,729,414 has been pledged from individuals and churches and $1,153,459 has been paid. From this total, $958,531 belongs to the campaign and $194,928 goes back to the churches that conducted a local campaign. To date, expenses are $352,465 and payments to churches totaled $177,689. Separate accounts for each fund are established at Fulton Bank and managed by the Mid Atlantic Foundation of the United Methodist Church. The total balance of all three strategies is $1,577,279.
The 2013 audited financial statements for the following nine organizations have been completed and are posted on the Conference web site. If you have any questions, please contact Peter T. DiNofia, EPA Conference Treasurer.

And with more drones being seen in Rarotonga skies, locals have taken to Facebook in a bid to air their concerns about the growing popularity of the aerial devices.
Drones are used for crime prevention, detection and control; search and rescue; infrastructure monitoring; disaster management and mapping; coral reef monitoring; scientific research, and environmental exploration and protection.
But with drone technology becoming less expensive and more user-friendly, consumer level drones are also becoming more common.
Private businesses such as resorts on Rarotonga use drone footage in their marketing and advertising campaigns, as do private residents who dabble in photography and film-making.
Now many are questioning the lack of legislation surrounding the "flying cameras" and their ability to intrude in private property without the knowledge of tenants or owners.
Operations coordinator for Rarotonga International Airport, Denise Turaki says there is an absence of laws governing new technology and the protection of social environments on Rarotonga, particularly when it comes to drones.
Currently drone users must inform aviation authorities if they wish to fly a drone or a kite or even a Chinese sky lantern, within 4km of the airport.
"We urge locals and tourists to let us (Aviation Authority) know if they plan on flying drones or kites or letting off lanterns. We can let individuals know what time there will be a gap in our flight schedule, as to ensure everyone and everything is safe," Turaki said.
However, she admits there is only so much the Aviation Authority can do to keep an eye on drone users.
"We can only give warnings and hope people who are flying these aerial devices are smart enough to follow the correct procedures.
"We do have regulators working on legislation in regard to where drones can fly and the procedure that must be followed in order for (flying them) to be allowed," she said.
Lawyer Mark Short offers an insight from a legal point of view.
"In the 1980s you could keep any roaming animal that destroyed your crops and this was accepted at the time as payment for damage done. There was no law to my knowledge that authorised this, however it was an accepted unwritten rule at the time.
"If this principle was to be adopted in this day and age, would the owner of a drone accept that any damage suffered by his drone for invading someone's privacy is acceptable? Well, I doubt it.
"This is why we need laws and rules to govern what we do, even to the extent of taking our cases to court as shown in the rugby league saga," he said.
Short and Turaki agree that the implementation of legislation and new laws are not the only issues. They say the time and resources necessary to support and pass new legislation are problematic.
"Another pressing problem is the absence of resources to support new legislation that has been passed by parliament.
"An example of this is the Small Claims Tribunal that was passed over eight years ago - that hasn't been set up because there are no funds for personnel and no funds to set up an office to administer and manage the Act, so nothing happens," Short said.
Short says such deficiencies can mean individuals take issues into their own hands, an act not condoned by the police.
"If a drone hovers above someone and is causing a problem, especially if say they were sunbathing on a beach somewhere, then I wouldn't be surprised if the drone was to meet an untimely death by a thrown rock.
"If, as a result of this, the owner approached the person who destroyed or damaged the drone, with the intention of claiming reparations for damage to property, then I am sure this case would raise some interesting arguments on whose rights would have precedence over the other," Short said.
In a recent CI News street poll, the general census was that people on Rarotonga value their privacy, and believe that the private use of drones could hinder or harm this. Every resident questioned believed that new laws need to be actioned, to cover the growing popularity of drones.
Quite apart from aviation safety issues, there are also clear concerns at the outdated "horse and cart era" legislation that still exists in the Cook Islands, and or the absence of laws applying to modern electronic devices such as drones.

Sometimes your condo association president can become a dictator. They can bully and intimidate fellow board members, the manager, and association members. Behind the scenes, they can be just as disruptive and stubborn.
However, you don't have to put up with it.
Boards and owners have the power to remove an association president who behaves this way. Legal experts say that under most state laws and association governing documents, the board president has few powers beyond those held by other board members. Additionally, most laws and documents give association boards the power to remove the dictator from the presidency by vote at any time.
There are 5 basic steps that can be taken to remove a president, starting with the most basic procedure and escalating to the most extreme.
- Talk to the president and ask them to change their behavior
- Look into your association's governing documents and laws to determine how to schedule and conduct a vote to remove the president from office
- Vote to remove the president as an officer of the board
- Vote to remove the president from the board entirely
- File a lawsuit

Not the opposite of courage. Not the opposite of hope for a better world. Not the opposite of practical solidarity with those suffering under brutal regimes.
The opposite of what then?
One opposite thing – the compulsion to act in silos, to keep our networks as tenuously linked as possible.
In the early 40s, if (or when) the Gestapo got you, and when (not if) they tortured you and when you told them everything you knew – every name, every identifying characteristic – then it mattered that you knew as little as possible. It was, indeed, a matter of life and death.
In the second decade of the following century, we may be heading for some new authoritarian regime, with PRISM etc as a mere precursor. I don't know. And I don't know if their network analysis algorithms already tell them everything they need to know about friendships, links and all the rest, enough to fill their helicopters taking you on a one-way trip out over the North Sea hundreds of times over. [Update – contact chaining.]
What I DO know is this – when we continue with shitty meetings that are designed for people to attend rather than participate, we are NOT helping to create ever thicker and denser networks of activists. We are NOT creating those loose links of acquaintance and affiliation that make a movement stronger.
How many more opportunities will we waste? All of them, I suspect.

The final T20 match to be played in Lahore may be a dead rubber, but it holds great significance for both Pakistan and Sri Lanka – and arguably the wider world too.
In the march of March 2009, gunmen with rifles, grenades and rocket launchers attack Sri Lanka`s team in Lahore on its way to play the third day of the second test. Seven players, an umpire and an assistant coach are wounded, and six policemen and a driver are killed. Today that same team will return to the same stadium to play a match of cricket, and bring the tragic circle that started in 2009 to a close.
The Sri Lankan cricket board and the players, coaches and the support staff must be thanked for their bravery and determination; terrorism can only be combated by possessing these virtues. After all Sri Lanka already knows a thing or two about combating terrorism and having domestic conflicts threaten cricket. From 1983 until 2009, the insurgency of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam – know commonly as the Tamil Tigers - came in direct conflict with the sport, with attacks taking place outside airports and hotels where foreign teams were staying. While many tours were cancelled and cut short, a few intrepid teams – such as New Zealand after the July 2001 attack – continued to brave the dangers and play cricket.
It is the laudable efforts of teams back then that restored normal cricket to Sri Lanka, and now it is Sri Lanka who is doing the same for Pakistan.
For Pakistani cricket – and for the Pakistani counter-terrorism – these continued matches in Lahore are a boon. The rise of the young stars that are leading the team with red-hot form can be attributed to the domestic Pakistan Super League and the revenues it bought, while every single successful match instills greater confidence into our security regime's ability to handle high-profile events.

A day spent in Sheffield visiting 'X Marks the Spot' exhibition at 35 Chapel Walk by Stephen Carley was an afternoon of ideas being created and fused; one of those moments where suddenly direction becomes clear. I am inspired by the traces we leave, as buildings once inhabited become derelict, as road surfaces become weathered and crumble; the marks made by our everyday existence and often ignored or simply not noticed. As a textile print graduate process has always fascinated me, combining media on a surface to see what accidental marks or effects can be produced. More recently, as a student on the Artist Teacher Scheme at BCU, questions come about as my practice evolves. I am not interested in producing work for commercial purposes, in the past I've been happy to leave my work in the public for a stranger to pick up and take home (#freeartfriday). I have become more conscious of the 'footprint' we have as makers and the real value being in the making and not the outcome.
So being asked by Zee at 35 Chapel Walk if I wanted to include a 'small body of work' for the Fellowship Exhibition seemed a prime way to steer my work over the last four or five weeks, to explore the impression made on me by my first visit to Sheffield. This has enabled me to experiment with combining different media in print and painting, in breaking up the surface to fragment images, in layering prints together on transparencies. The three outcomes respond to the two places that inspired me most- Arundel Gate NCP car park floor, and the peeling paintwork on the Salvation Army Citadel building.
I also wanted to take the symbol of a X that was drawn onto my hand by Stephen Carley as part of his exhibition and use this image in the work. My obsession with circles as a focal point, the idea of drawing a ring around something that you want people to give their attention to, seemed to 'fit' with the same premise of marking an image, a place with an X.
Piece 1: Floor circles: 75cm square perspex paintings to be set onto the floor and linked by black tape
Piece 2: Fabric drop 3m weed control fabric printed with acrylic pigment, gloss paint, road paint
Piece 3: Window circles: 20cm acetate transparencies of monoprints to be set onto the window

The human voice is a truly staggering thing that is unique amongst all of the living creatures on the planet. It is an effective and sophisticated means of communications that is capable of being manipulated in ways that are far more complex than any other animal. Not only is it capable of producing elegant sounds that can be used as language but it can also be used to sing and chant. Although we use it every day, there is still plenty of things most of us don't know about our own voices.
Unlike the vast majority of people who are baritones or mezzo-sopranos, all children are considered trebles. Once they hit puberty, the vocal cords and folds thicken and grow in length, with this effect happening to a greater extent with men.
In order to ensure that the best singers wouldn't lose their range and get deeper voices, some boys would be castrated before they hit puberty. These people, called Castrati, would be highly paid for their services though.

You know the expression When it rains, it pours? Well it has been raining excrement on my head for the past couple of weeks. I was already dealing with depression when I recently had to be rushed to the emergency room in horrific pain. Pain so bad I thought for a minute I was dying. The kind of pain where after it was over I had bloody fingernail marks in the palm of my hand from clinching my fists so tightly. I sat in the emergency waiting room for over 2 hours crying uncontrollably. Apparently the nurses employed in the hospital didn't see me as an emergency. After two and a half hours the pain went from a horrid 12 (on a scale of 1-10) to about a tolerable 6. I convinced my father to take me home and I waddled out to the car and into my house. I slowly made my way into my room and collapsed on my bed. I was still in pain but the thing that immediately came to my mind was that I was worthless. I know that sounds really odd now that I think about it. I mean, I guess the normal reaction to such an ordeal would have been anger and frustration at not having my needs met. I instead took it as my level of importance in the world. I let that idea roll around in my head. I let it nest there and there was no surprise really how the rest of my week and the following week turned out because I was still focusing on how and why I was so worthless. More pain issues the rest of the week and the following week had me thinking that I somehow deserved it. These pains were a penance of some long over due wrong doing or sin I had committed. When my car decided it would no longer take me where I needed to go I began to think I obviously didn't get punished enough the first time. I was attacked by mosquitoes in the five minutes it took for me to walk to my car to get something and bring it back into the house (don't laugh and call me petty at this one) I'm allergic to bug bites and it looks like I have chicken pox all over my body. A close friend of mine and I have a drastic and awkward change in our relationship all of a sudden. My father decided that once more I was one of the biggest disappointments in his life because … because...who the heck knows this time! I just am! I think I kind of know how Job felt. For those not familiar with the bible he was tested and lost all his riches, was struck with boils and lost his family and his wife told him to curse God and die. He didn't and I'm not going there either. I remember looking in the mirror (I usually avoid doing that if I don't have to) I saw my body with all the infected sores and I lost it. Sometime back I had burned the word worthless on my forearm I still see the faint outline of that word every time I look at it and I started to think that maybe I should have made it permanent. Maybe then that would be full on proper penance. Maybe then I will have paid for being such a horrible person. By this point I knew my issues with self esteem had turned into daily subscriptions. I was left to sit in the middle of my living room surrounded by my dirty laundry, bills, and ridiculous car repair estimates and throw myself an immense pity party. I know what you're thinking... Okay, I don't really but now that I look back on the situation all I can think is "Wah! You cry baby! Stop blubbering, put on your big girl pants, build a bridge, and get over it!" (as you can see I'm not very nice to myself a lot of the times). But at that moment I let myself feel bad and let myself say "Woe is me." (not really but you get the point) I let myself cry and throw the biggest pity party I could. Afterward, I must admit I did feel a little better. Sometimes you just have to do it. Sometimes you have to throw yourself a pity party. Now that I have finished my wailing and wringing of hands I consider myself a bit of an expert and have put together these helpful tips on how to throw yourself a proper pity party (try saying that 5 x fast).
- Comfy clothing. The last thing you need is to have something else to whine about. Throw on those sweat pants or pj's in case you literally decide to wallow around in your sorrow.
- Call someone you can trust. Better yet, invite them over and have them bring ice cream, wine, enormous slabs of chocolate cake, anything that is a comfort food or drink. You gotta have refreshments for a party and this is no different. (When talking with a friend over food the sad moments aren't sure to last and it's hard to stay gloomy when spending time with a good friend)
- Pull up some of your favorite tunes on your listening device. They say music soothes the savage beast and the name of your beast is gloom and despair. (I would avoid Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday", and David Bowie's "Space Oddity") avoid anything that may make you want to swan dive off a cliff.
- Find a good movie, a favorite, better yet a comedy. Nothing helps squash the blue's like a good belly laugh. Use the above discretion and avoid heart tugging dramas.
- Get some paper. If you are an artist grab some paint. If you're a writer grab a pen. Sometimes things aren't so bad if you write them down or express them artistically.
- Grab the tissues. Sometimes you just have to cry.
- Stay away from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, or any social networking site. It's okay to reach out but a pity party is a private party. Send a personal e-mail or note if you need support. (One sad post is okay 10 is a bit much)
- Prep for an early night. A good night sleep does wonders. Things always seem a little better in the morning after all it's a fresh day with no mistakes in it.
- Don't party too long. The point of a pity party is to be in that moment and recognize that you are feeling sad and that is okay. It happens to all of us. It's one of the annoying parts of being human.
With all that said. Party on and enjoy your humaness!

If you're a business owner, chances are you've already considered using Social Media Marketing to help get the word out about your business. With the right social media plan in place, a small business can reach thousands of new followers, all who have a strong potential of turning into long-standing customers. No matter what you sell and who you sell it to, using social media as a marketing tool can help you grow your brand.
Here are 5 tips to help you grow your business with social media.
1. Get Social
Social Media gets the word out about your business. Today, more than half of all Americans are smartphone users and more and more businesses are offering mobile-friendly experiences. Your customers aren't running home after work to jump on the television anymore. Channel networks still exist but the new TV is Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat. These social channels provide you with the opportunity to grow relationships with your target audience. Your fans, followers, and connections are people who know your organization and have likely done business with you in the past or will be most likely to tell their friends about you.
Video is taking over, not just YouTube but Instagram stories, Snapchat, etc. Why is visual content so good? It attracts more attention, increases number of visits, has a higher social share, and your messages are easier to remember. Video is important to tell your brand's story and it's an amazing opportunity for you to stand out.
3. Mobile Optimization
Check your website analytics, you'll see more and more people are visiting your site from their mobile phone. Having a social media presence that's accessible via mobile can improve the chances of your business getting found when someone is searching for a place to eat or a product to buy, while on-the-go.
Let's check the stats:
-125 Million U.S. consumers own smartphones
-50 million U.S. Consumers own tablets
-62% of smartphone users have made a purchase online using their mobile device in the last 6 months
-80% of shoppers used a mobile phone inside of a physical store to either look up product reviews, compare prices or find alternative store locations
-An estimated 10 Billion Mobile Connected Devices are currently in use
You are going to have to optimize your site to be mobile first. We are moving in a direction where not everyone will need a laptop or desktop anymore. You have to plan for mobile first.
4. Content
Content is growing. There is so much content out there, you'll have to figure out a way to stand out. Right now posting once a week is not enough. You're going to have to bump up the daily content and find something everyday to say about your business. You can share your business story, your customers story, what makes you excited about your business, behind the scenes. Show us how you make that cappucino, show us how you make that pizza, how you organzize your work and turn those into videos for you to stand out.
5. Facebook Ads
Facebook has become one of the most used social platforms with 1.8 billion users. Whatever your business is you can target your market effectivley and put your ad right in front of them. Facebook ads allow you to target users by things like location, education level, industry and even purchase history and the pages they've liked. You even have the option to install a Facebook pixel on your site and use it to retarget the users who visit you.
Social Media has reshaped the marketing landscape and have really leveled the playing field for small businesses trying to better connect with current customers and reach new audiences for their business. We hope these 5 tips help you better understand how Social Media Marketing is important and how it can help grow your business.

Acts 2:42-47; Psalm 23; 1 Peter 2:19-25; John 10:1-10. Go to www.lectionarypage.net to read or print the weekly lectionary text. In our readings for Good Shepherd Sunday, we learn how the earliest Christians devoted themselves to the apostles' teachings and to fellowship with one another, Peter instructed his readers to rejoice in suffering for doing the right thing, and Jesus described himself as the true shepherd who is the gate for the sheep.
Acts 2:42-47: Most likely written by the author of Luke's Gospel c. 85-95, The Book of Acts connects the Gospels and the Letters, the documents that form the majority of the New Testament. This week's reading continues with the events of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit empowered the people to become the first Christian community.
The newly baptized "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." (This probably sounds familiar, as it's the first promise of our Baptismal Covenant.) Responding to the teachings of Jesus, all who believed shared money and possessions and attended to one another's needs in a joyous sense of community. They continued to be devout Jews and "spent much time together in the temple" and, as followers of Jesus, the earliest Christians "broke bread at home" (Luke's expression for the Eucharist), establishing a new way of being in community.
I found the idea of living in such a close community attractive and scary—I really want to follow Jesus, and, at the same time, I resist the totality of this vision of community. I read a few commentaries, and learned that many interpreters since the Reformation consider this passage of Acts as a utopian description of communal life, or maybe a record of the honeymoon period of Christianity, but one that was unsustainable as the church grew. So maybe we can't return to the life of the earliest Christians, but as Christ's disciples here in northern Michigan, we're coming closer and closer. And I treasure our community in the joy of celebration, of doing God's work together, and being available to one another when times are hard. That's Grace.
Psalm 23: In this week's reading we have the Twenty-Third Psalm, in which David describes God as his shepherd. In the Wikipedia entry for Psalm 23, I learned about J. Douglas MacMillan. He was a minister in Scotland, a shepherd for 12 years, and wrote a book about the Twenty-Third Psalm. He maintains that the shepherd theme permeates the entire psalm. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
Douglas MacMillan argues that verse 5 ("Thou preparest a table before me") refers to the "old oriental shepherding practice" of using little raised tables to feed sheep. Similarly, "Thou anointest my head with oil" may refer to an ancient form of backliner – the oil is poured on wounds, and repels flies. MacMillan also notes that verse 6 ("Goodness and mercy shall follow me") reminds him of two loyal sheepdogs coming behind the flock.
1 Peter 2:19-25: This week's reading is addressed to household slaves who are suffering unjustly. Peter argues that enduring unjust suffering wins God's approval, and that one should imitate Christ: "When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly."
This text was meant to provide encouragement to the faithful followers of Jesus who were suffering at the hands of the Romans. Peter reminds them that by Jesus bore our sins that we might live for righteousness. "For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls."
John 10:1-10: In our reading this week, Jesus uses sheep and shepherd imagery to portray himself as the true shepherd (the Son of God) and gate for the sheep (God's people), in contrast to the Pharisees who are thieves and bandits. Here is the entire reading:
Jesus said, "Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers." Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
So again Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
The lectionary stops there, but Jesus continues in the next verse: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." And he did.

3 Tips For Secure Passwords
Keeping online accounts secure, especially ones that contain sensitive information, can be difficult for some internet users. Many make the mistake of creating passwords that are easy to guess. Creating a secure password is a must for anyone who wants to keep their information safe. However, many are unsure of what makes a password secure. It can also be difficult to remember secure passwords for multiple accounts. Here are three tips for creating secure passwords that can help keep sensitive information safe:
How Does Remote Support Work?
Getting assistance with remote support can be quick and convenient compared to calling in a technician to physically visit your server, but how does it work? Is it safe? How can you stay in control of the support session? All of these questions are actually built into the multiple decades of remote support's existence, and the following details can give you some remote support insight to understand what's actually going on and how to stay in control without making things harder for the support professional.

Sadhguru looks at how most people are successful by accident, and are therefore suffering their success. He explains that unless we organise our mind, we cannot be truly successful and enjoy success.
Sadhguru: Your ability to do something in the world essentially depends on the extent to which you are capable of harnessing your body and mind towards your goal, and after that, harnessing the situation in which you exist. But the most fundamental things are that your body and mind function not only to the best of their ability, but the way you want them to. When I say "the way you want," there are many ways to check it.
Let's try a simple experiment. For the next 10 seconds, do not think of monkeys. Give it a try. Close your eyes and do not think of a monkey for the next 10 seconds.
Can you do it? Your mind is full of monkeys, isn't it? Your mind is not doing what you want it to do. If you say, "I don't want monkeys," it will think only of monkeys. Have you noticed this? This is not just your problem. The whole world is suffering this. When they are in the office they want to go home. When they are at home they are thinking of the office.
Some time ago, I spent half-a-day with one of the English Premier League soccer clubs. They had reasonably good talent, but had not been doing well for the past few years. I spent half-a-day with them, just watching how they were practicing and playing. They were good, they knew how to play football that was not the issue. But they were nervous, kicking the ball around, and every time it did not go where they wanted, I would hear four-letter words flying all over the place. And the next day, they were playing another team full of well-known stars who could turn the game around single-handedly! I made them sit down and told them some simple things about themselves for about an hour-and-a-half. They had not beaten the other team in four-and-a-half years, but the next day they won the game 1-0.
Accidental success
The problem is just this–the mind is going into everything that it should not, but not doing what it should be doing. What happens in your mind should be one hundred percent the way you want it, but within yourself, how many moments of unpleasantness do you go through in 24 hours' time? Irritation, anger, agitation, tension, fear, anxiety–all different types of unpleasantness. If you feel unpleasant five times a day, one way or the other, the residue spreads right through the day. This is not because something is wrong with your work or with people around you. It is essentially because your mind is refusing to take instructions from you.
If you cannot even conduct your mind the way you want it, the question of life happening the way you want is remote. You can only be successful by accident, not by intent.
When you are successful by accident, you live in fear. People have landed up in places just by accident, and they live in enormous anxiety all the time because they are successful by chance; they did not get there by their own dint.
They somehow got there, so now they are fearful every day. But when you are successful by intent, you know you can do it. If the whole thing gets washed away tomorrow, you will rebuild it once again.
When you do anything accidentally, invariably, you will suffer the process. If you know how to drive your car well, it can be a joy. But if you don't know how to drive and do it accidentally, it can be enormous suffering. Every process of life can become a huge suffering if you do it accidentally. People are successful by accident. That is why they are suffering their success. If you suffer your failure it is bad enough, but if you suffer your success, then your life is 100% tragedy.
If you cannot even conduct your mind the way you want it, the question of life happening the way you want is remote. You can only be successful by accident, not by intent.

Indian cuisine is not just fascinating but also very delicious. No one can ignore the blend of bold spices, tangy heat, and creamy sauce. Indian food culture is still mysterious in many ways. There are many particulars, which still people don't know.
To enjoy your next treat with friends let's get familiar with some unknown facts about Indian food.
Six different rasas [tastes]
Indian cuisine is popular to be spicy but as per food theory it involves six main tastes or rasas.
- Madhura or sweet
- Amala or sour
- Tikta or bitter
- Lavana or salty
- Katu or pungent
- Kashaya or astringent
Instead of checking the nutritional labels, these six tastes guide you naturally towards your body's nutritional needs. Six tastes satisfy main dietary building blocks. For example, sweet foods are loaded with proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water, while astringent and bitter foods are rich in minerals and vitamins.
External influences
India has been involved in global trade routes for centuries, so it has naturally been exposed to worldwide cuisines. Many foods you enjoy today are influenced by cuisines ranging from Arab and Mediterranean to Central Asia and Persia. The yummy samosas to gulab jamuns you savor today are all imports.
Historic staple diet
From 6,000 B.C.E., Indian staple diet is still the same. It includes whole wheat flour, lentils, pearl millet, and rice.
Lengthy past of salt & pepper
For more than 5,000 years, India is producing salt in Rann of Kutch. The black pepper found in Indian kitchen was found from 2,000 B.C.E. Kerala was popular for black pepper exports in ancient times. It was familiar as 'black gold' and was very valued all around the world.
Land of spices
India is popular as 'Land of Spices'. Large amount of spices is produced in India. Each Indian dish makes use of spices combined separately to create unique taste.
Three food categories
According to Ayurveda, India's ancient medicinal system has divided food into three main categories –
- Sattvic – Natural and minimal processed food are said to be sattvic. Such foods offer purifying, positive, and calming effect on mind and boyd.
- Rajas – Oily, spicy, bitter, and salty food fall under rajas category. These foods drive competition, ambition, and egotistic pursuits.
- Tamas – Foods overly processed are tamas. These are toxic and hard to digest. They show negative effects on body and mind.
Hot chilli
India grows hottest chilli in Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, and Manipur. Bhut Jolokia [ghost pepper] is 400X hotter and was added in Guinness World Records [2007] as the hottest chilli.
With such facts you can impress your friend at the next Indian food treat!

So I have these moments where I tell hubby not to worry about something that would normally fall under his "domain" because there's another project I've been wanting to finish or because I like just enjoying the time we do have together since right now he's gone most of the time until August. Today I had one of those moments.
We found a great deal on a bed frame that we couldn't pass up. It took a long time for us to find one that we both liked and this one was hugely discounted since it was the floor model and it is missing the side boards/under support (which we'll just make but since this isn't a DIY blog… I'll move on). What we didn't know is it comes with a huge box of extra parts for if you want to convert it into a full canopy bed… a huge HEAVY box.
To make a long story short, I had told hubby I would take care of opening it and finding a home for the pieces so we could enjoy a date night last night and he could just finish a couple, less time-consuming, projects before heading back to training. I went to open up the box, expecting the size to be mainly due to packing material, only to find that it didn't make any sense to take the parts out because it didn't save any space. Which left me to move the huge, heavy box from our guest room to our room so there was space to tuck it against a wall. Doesn't sound so daunting right?
Except in order to get from point A to point B I had to make three tight turns with this 8 foot long box. After lots of squats, twists, curls, and dragging the box I succeeded! As I was walking away from my "accomplishment" I had the realization that I really don't think I would have been able to move that box by myself a couple years ago and then I felt even more proud of myself! It's so fulfilling and motivating to see the benefits of strength training and living a healthy lifestyle in my everyday life.
Okay, bragging over 😉

Confidence: How to Address the Core of Accountability Issues
In this video, I'm going to share with you how to get more accountability from your team members to the things that move the profit needle.
5 Steps to Bullet-Proof Accountability
Accountability is a funny thing. Everybody wants it from their team, but accountability for what?
Accountability for attendance?
For work completed?
For "doing what you say you'll do?"
Sure, but those aren't game-changers…
What you really want is accountability for RESULTS.
Without RESULTS, you have nothing more than a social club with the added benefit of a bi-weekly gift of money.
But how do you create accountability for results?
We've found that there are 5 steps…
In today's video, you'll discover all 5.
How to Get Every Employee to Know How They Tie to Profit
I believe almost every person can double their productivity at work. In this episode, I'm going to share with you a process I have used over and over again to not only double but often times quadruple the profit brought in by hundreds of employees within a few years!
The Easy, 5-Step Formula to Get Your Bank's Culture Back on Track
Culture is the leading predictor of future growth and profitability. Great news if you have a great culture—otherwise, not such good news.
After working with hundreds of banks over 24 years, I can say unequivocally that banks that turn around their cultures turn around their profits quickly. It is the leading indicator…and a beautiful and fast needle mover.
And with the abundant acquisition opportunities about to hit in 2013, you know the importance of getting your own house in order before you compound the situation.
So, what's the problem?
According to Gallup organization research,
4 Secret Strategies of The Most Successful Banks in America
#1. Culture trumps strategy.
Hundreds of studies now show that culture is the leading predictor of future growth and profitability.
The Gallup Organization found the increase in earnings per share for companies in the top quartile that have high employee engagement (a measure of culture) to be 2.6 times. Amazing!
Unfortunately, there is a false belief in banking that culture means sales training, goals, and incentive pay. Dead wrong. Culture is the mood. Motivation is a racket because it depends on others catering to an employee's every need. Inspiration is what you want—that's intrinsic.
Bank Culture: The #1 Predictor of Future Growth and Profitability
Most bankers think that internal culture means friendly tellers, free coffee in the lobby,, and someone to greet customers as they come in the door. No, no, no! Have you ever found one bank that was able to get 100 to 150 basis points more in net interest margin with that insipid belief system?
Of course not. Because that's not what culture is.
Culture asks, "Will your people leap over tall buildings in a single bound to make sure your client is successful in their business or personal financial goals?"
The 5 Myths That Tank a Bank Sales Culture
Let's face facts. You know it is true. Banks stink at sales culture.
Most say they're working on it…but most have been "working on it" for three decades now, and they still stink at it. Why? Because you are repeating the mistakes of the past. Here are the 5 biggest mistakes that are common to every failed bank sales culture. (That would be around 99 percent of them.) (more…)
5 Easy Steps To Creating Internal Cultures That Rock
Try this as a 30-Day Turnaround:
Why is it that a $450 million bank with nine years of flat organic growth suddenly had an annualized growth rate of 35 percent within 30 days of one culture intervention?
Why is it that a $920 million bank consistently ranked in the fourth quartile—a fact which they blamed on their low-income, shrinking market—eventually moved into the first quartile after experiencing over 20 percent growth, seeing significant quality improvement, and tripling ROE… all within three years with no improvement to their market?
Previously, both of these banks had done sales training for years with virtually NO impact on growth or profits.
Calling it Tight: Running a Tight Ship
Someone's late for a meeting. Nobody calls the person on it. Next week, three people are late. That's no coincidence. Eventually, there won't be a meeting in the entire organization that starts within 15 minutes of the scheduled time. (more…)

Why Cyrillic is available on international servers to name settlements and use in nickname?
Because Cyrillic is a big part of international heritage and culture. It is actually one of the first written system of language on the world.
The real reason is that it's because they are international servers, which is why we also see Arabic script, Chinese characters etc. Some of us are pushing for English servers where this won't be allowed as it's very hard for us to distinguish between different players and villages. We just want the same as many countries get with their own servers.
