Needed modes of communication for united denominational life:
1) messengers to trustees
2) trustees to messengers
3) trustees to entities
4) entities to trustees
5) messengers to entities
6) entities to messengers
Now we have arrived at the part of the discussion of communication within the SBC…that you might not think is a problem: the conversation between trustees and entities. Granted, some may think that the behind-the-door discussions are the cause of the problems today, but my perspective is that they too must maintain the chain of accountability to the churches and the messengers.
There has been some discussion of entity heads and trustee leadership turning their trustee boards into rubber stamps. There have been allegations of entity heads involving themselves in issues beyond their responsibility and purview. This is very distressing to me..that such behavior could even be conceived among our body! No, openness and humility must reign among our representatives and leaders. They should not allow themselvs to be lured into a sense of superiority of thought or opinion…or into an exaggerated view of their own importance to the denomination.
Before I get myself into any more trouble, let's get to the solution I am proposing. Every trustee should be mindful of the decisions being proposed by the board, particularly if they are of staff origin. New trustees, dont be shy…ask questions…get involved! Trustee leadership, most notably those on their second term of service, please consider that this is not your opportunity to set doctrine or make history (there I go again, making people mad!) Entity leadership and staff, please advise and recommend, but know that we elected trustees for a reason…to provide oversight and leadership for your choices.
I will close here…because there's not much more I can say…without digging the hole any deeper! I'll post again sometime around August 14, as I am in my borther's wedding this Saturday and then packing to get back to KCMO!

Ahead of his address to Congress on America's jobs' crisis later today, equity markets were buoyed by a suggestion that the size of the package the US President will present could be more than USD 300bln. It is expected to include substantial middle class tax cuts, a boost to infrastructure spending, and targeted state and regional expenditure. Fed Chairman Bernanke is also due to speak later on the US economic outlook. In recent days, a number of Fed officials have been intimating that the US central bank needs to ease monetary policy further, possibly quite significantly. For his part, Bernanke may not yet be ready to make explicit what the Fed's next steps will be, but he is likely to discuss the various policy options and commit to using them should the Fed decide it is warranted. The FOMC next meets in less than two weeks.
Prior to Bernanke's speech, the policy committees of the BOE and ECB meet - QE will certainly be up for discussion at the MPC meeting, while some ECB officials must surely press for a rate cut. The expectation that policy officials in the major economies are considering further action over coming days to support their ailing economies has encouraged some short-covering in risk assets, with the FTSE 100 up more than 3% yesterday and the battered DAX up over 4%. The gold price took a sharp tumble yesterday, briefly plunging through $1,800, this after reaching a record high the previous day of USD 1,921. Of interest for the FX market over the last couple of days has been the softness of the pound. With the Chancellor still firmly committed to fiscal consolidation, the Bank considering additional asset purchases and the economy still in dire shape, it is little wonder that the currency is under pressure.

Michelle Ballantyne, leader of the Conservative group on Scottish Borders Council, was sworn in as a South of Scotland MSP at Holyrood on Tuesday.
However, the mother-of- six says she is keeping her options open about how long she will remain at Newtown as an elected member for the Selkirkshire ward.
"Things have happened so quickly and, with regard to Holyrood, quite unexpectedly," she said.
"While I am delighted to become an MSP, I feel I still have a duty to my constituents in Selkirkshire, so I will continue to exercise the dual mandate, which allows me to be both a councillor and an MSP at the same time, for the immediate future.
"I would like to see the new ruling administration my party has formed with the independents on the council a chance to bed down and become established, so I am keeping my options open regarding the exact time of my departure."
Mrs Ballantyne said she would donate her councillor's salary – just under £17,000 a year – to charity until she gives up the council.
When that happens a by-election will be held in Selkirkshire to decide who will replace her at Newtown.

A group of 15 World War II and Korean War veterans who live at Aberdeen Heights traveled this week from St. Louis to Washington D.C. to visit war memorials. This journey is part of the Honor Flight program that transports war veterans from their homes to the nation's capital so that they can "visit and reflect at their memorials." The group from Aberdeen Heights is the largest from one location to participate in the St. Louis Honor Flight. See KSDK's coverage in the video player below.
Aberdeen Heights is a continuing care retirement community in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood, Mo. Sponsored by Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America, Aberdeen Heights opened in 2011. Greystone served as development consultant on the project and is now serving as management consultant.

REKINDLE - Sci-Fi/Fantasy Feature Film
An original sci-fi/fantasy adventure about a young girl set to pull off the biggest heist the universe has ever seen.
REKINDLE - Sci-Fi/Fantasy Feature Film
An original sci-fi/fantasy adventure about a young girl set to pull off the biggest heist the universe has ever seen.
Our initial Kickstarter campaign has concluded, and we have decided to continue making this film a reality even though the crowdfunding didn't reach its goal. The massive positive fan reaction of our project combined with Kickstarter's amazing support has been so ensuring that we made the very easy decision to keep producing the movie. It's been a thrill ride so far, with highlights including getting featured as a Project We Love on Kickstarter, getting many sweet messages from the fans and meeting you at conventions like Dutch Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration in Orlando and so on.
I've been very fortunate to have been surrounded by more than 300 volunteering crew members who helped me bring the vision so far to life. From orchestra musicians to producers, concept artists, makeup heroes and CGI animators. It's a pleasure for me to announce that not only do we continue creating this world together, but we will give REKINDLE the complete overhaul it deserves. We've learned so much along the way, and as a writer and director I've personally come to understand quite a lot of things about compromise and vision.
I'm committed to telling this story, but you'll be surprised to learn it'll come to fruition in ways you won't expect. Visual upgrade, brand new concepting phase and a massive expansion of the crew. Even our core group of producers is working around the clock to get investors on board to give this film the budget it deserves, and there's great news to share on that front very soon.
For now, I hope you enjoyed what we had to offer so far and look forward to the resurgence of REKINDLE. We've got a tiny bit of a teaser here, be sure to visit https://www.rekindlefilm.com to get the full experience. And remember that if you want to get involved in making the film or supporting us with a donation, you can do so on our website as well. Keep up to date with behind the scenes photos and videos of the production on our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. You are invited to be a part of this family. There's room for all walks of life. This brand new universe is all of ours.
See you among the stars, friends!
Callum Stamp
REKINDLE is a full-length feature film that combines the medieval fantasy atmosphere of Game Of Thrones and the science fiction wonder of Star Wars to create an original new universe where the first thing you'll have to do is: forget everything you know. We rewrite the rules of fantasy/sci-fi where Regions are flat and the skies are filled with Rifts that transport you to wondrous worlds. We finally bring international star Stefanie Joosten to the big screen with this original family adventure.
Our lead character Mika is a young girl that grows up alone on the cold wasteland of Chomii, a Region in The Red Universe that's under rule by the vicious Royals. She spends her days roaming around the refugee camps, stealing to stay alive. The only light she has is her cheeky flame Amber, who she conjures from her self-built arm device, the Ember Emitter. One day she crosses paths with a strange group of amateur bandits lead by the old cowboy Wolvak, who sees a lot of value in her ability to pickpocket. They recruit her to pull of a heist years in the making, to steal power back from The Royals and change the fate of the universe. What follows is a grand adventure across the stars where our heroes meet strange allies, dangerous foes and wondrous worlds.
We're going all out for this film: the young REKINDLE production team has recruited the best prop makers, set builders, make-up artists, costume designers and concept artists to bring this new story to life from the ground up. We've put a heavy emphasis on practical effects. Puppet characters, big physical sets and weapon props that actually function are the foundation to make the actors truly lose themselves in the world of REKINDLE.
In addition, we have also put together an amazing live orchestra to perform the original film score. With a truly massive fantastical soundtrack, created by composer Ted Loch in combination with director and musician Callum Stamp, we aim to reintroduce iconic character themes back into blockbuster films. When was the last time music really took center stage in a scene? We at REKINDLE think it's about time to bring back the movie music magic from the days of Back To The Future and Jurassic Park.
REKINDLE - 'My Will Is Fire (Kickstarter Teaser Theme)' - Ted Loch, Callum Stamp
It's impossible to imagine a sci-fi/fantasy experience without computer generated effects. That's why we're working together with a talented team of VFX artists from London, anchored by visual storyteller Danny Browne. Whether it's beautiful wide shot vistas, flame effects in fight scenes or motion capture performances, we want to be at the forefront of new technological possibilities in film. With your help, we will make this universe hundreds of times grander.
If funded, REKINDLE will be a one-of-a-kind success and we will organize showings in theaters all across the globe. It will kickstart a brand we think could turn into a franchise with (already) passionate fans. We will continue to build on the story and universe of REKINDLE in different forms of media and put together events and concerts where you can meet us. Through the magic of Kickstarter rewards, you will always receive something special for your awesome contribution. From cool swag to working with us on the set of the film and flying over to Amsterdam for the VIP premiere experience. And if we manage to go over our initial goal, the sky isn't the limit.. the universe is:
...And there are more Stretch Goals waiting to be unlocked!
We plan to release the finished film in 2019 - taking all of 2017 for pre-production (building sets, casting the roles, creating the costumes) and all of 2018 for filming and post-production. The success and reach of this film depends on the performance of this Kickstarter campaign - so if we reach our goal (and hopefully surpass it) we will be able to bring this beautiful story to you, wherever in the world you are. If we all shine our light, together we can rekindle this fire. Let's make this film the absolute biggest thing we can!
There's a whole lot of REKINDLE for you on our social media platforms. Behind the scenes videos, set photos and production updates. So like, follow and subscribe to REKINDLE and be a part of this film family!
Making a film is one of the biggest journeys you could embark on. It's like looking at the steepest mountain, afraid to climb but determined to reach the top. Luckily, we have more than 300 incredible volunteering crew members to walk the miles together. Roadblocks will always present themselves, like getting the right new faces together, budget- and time constraints and silly things like… the weather!
And to be completely fair, the journey from the script that was written two years ago to now has been pretty wild. We've had to invest a lot of personal dough. We've lost friends, gained a family, fallen on hard times and got up because of the good ones. The bigger this thing is getting, the harder we'll have to fight for it. If we reach our initial goal we will not be able to provide our entire crew with what they deserve: travel, accommodation and even a fixed fee. These amazing human beings are in it for the passion we all share over Mika's story and the promise to finally bring a new universe to kids, teens and young adults. Even if ultimately, all this work ends up giving people a great escape for 90 minutes in the cinema, that'd make us whole. There's a couple of things we can't guarantee and one of them is the timeline. We already shot the Kickstarter teaser and know what it takes to put this together. But the full film will also have a lot of unexpected costs. Disappointments in getting schedules together. And ultimately some promises we can't commit to yet, like the film coming out in specific countries or cast members we weren't able to secure. For our crew REKINDLE is almost 24/7, so it's pretty much life. And in life we sometimes don't really control our trajectory.
But we stand before you proud, in need but also ready of what's ahead. The talented crew behind REKINDLE has lifetimes of collective experience on film sets, in game studios and recording booths. We pride ourselves with being over-ambitious and challenge ourselves to solve problems we created out of pure enthusiasm for the film. I am so blessed to have the support of so many great sponsors and people, and I can't wait to start working on this production with the budget it so deserves. Let's make some history together and fan the flame! You are instrumental to our success.

Flickr never ceases to amaze me in it's depth and surprising spontaneity of imagery.
Florencita, posted this image recently of what I can only assume is a fair ground in Paris, from her Paris series.
The simplicity of this image, as well as the poignancy of it has me searching for adjectives. To see this and make an image of something that seems relatively innocuous is a gift that is to be nurtured and cherished. The photograph reeks of poetry; life; death; and has several classical connotations as well as being firmly planted in it's own contemporary place and time.
Initially we see a white statue of what appears to be a male holding their face in some sort of remorseful pose, white clouds frame the sculpture, a blue sky helps emphasise the framing, in the lower half of the image, there is some buildings or functional architecture, the use and function of which is unclear, within this small building is a window, the window appears to open into another space within the environment itself a somewhat anonymous and empty one, but one that would it seems have some use for human activity. There appears to be kitchen like utensils in there, yet again no human presence other than the utensils exist.
The symbolism of this image and the underlying apparent tensions are what make this image for me, the huge white sculpture turning away from a harsh lonely and empty world, even if it is turning into the light, somehow suggest to me a poignant reflection of the current human condition.

Lenny Henry put you off staying in chain hotels? Don't blame you, his love for those beds comes across as disingenuous, I don't believe a word he says.
If you're looking for a different kind of experience for your next UK weekend break that doesn't involve stale continental breakfasts and screaming kids, check out what Airbnb has to offer and you could be staying in a castle or your very own pub...
Gothic castle, Cumbria
Originally built in 1841 as a grand gentlemen's folly (whatever that means), you just know this castle is seriously haunted. If you look close enough at any window and really, really squint your eyes, you can definitely see the ghost of a little girl. But breakfast is included and it's like nowhere else you'll ever stay without breaking into Buckingham Palace, so it's really worth being possessed.
Time to head up t' North with your ouija board for only a £160 a night
The Hobbit House, Isle of Skye
Want to get away from it all and leave behind the city, job and Starbucks for a little rural escape? Then this is the place to go, there's not a skinny latte in site here at this luxurious one bed/one bath Scottish hut, which boasts both countryside walks and trips to the beach. Although you might want to swim in a parka though, looks nippy.
Book yourself in at Middle Earth from £70 a night
King's Cross clock tower, London
"What time is it?"
"Look out the window, idiot."
Yes, you can stay in the actual gothic clock tower by King's Cross Station, home to an array of cracking pubs, restaurants and tourist attractions, such as Harry Potter's 9 and 3/4 platform.
But don't worry, it doesn't ring or tick, because that'd just be idiotic to build a home here if so.
And if you miss your train home, you've definitely got time keeping issues.
If it's time to book a holiday, take a look here for a £150 a night stay
Dairsie Castle, Scotland
The ideal location if your a Game of Thrones fan. Imagine running around here dressed as Joffrey chasing your mate dressed as Ned Stark, trying to cut off his head? Good weekend.
Close to St Andrew's and Edinburgh, this would be a great alternative stag do venue, as it sleeps 13 people and has plenty of fishing, golfing and other outdoor activities to take part in.
You know nothing, so click here and stay from £500 a night
Self catering pub, Ireland
Can't go into a pub without getting absolutely steaming? No worries my friend, because your bed awaits you only a few feet away from the bar. Sweet dreams are only a mere crawl away.
It's close to some traditional Irish villages and tranquil scenic hot spots, but for the proper experience we suggest just going on a massive bender and sitting by the real roaring fire all weekend.
Who's next? You are, be a landlord for a weekend from £128
Tree Sparrow House, Cornwall
We'd love to be able to return to a state of childlike bliss and sleep in a blanket fort, but that'd be creepy as hell. Bypass getting your mental health questioned by your friends and family and settle for a trip to the most well structured tree house you'll ever see, situated in the pristine Cornwall countryside where you can cycle, sail and fall flat on your face surfing.
Be Tarzan (without the sweaty loincloth) and book a stay from a £100 a night
Old Smock Windmill, Kent
An out of use windmill that still maintains many of its original equipment inside. This is peak hipster, even more so than living in a canal boat, but its interior is utterly sublime, even though it's as twee as Zooey Deschanel riding a fixie bike in second hand dungarees.
Are you a massive fan? Then stay a night for £170
Butley Priory, Suffolk
A tuned piano, Saxon burial ground and freezing cold ocean is the ideal recipe for a blinding weekend. We recommend spending your time doing Downton Abbey cosplay and putting yourselves into mild dramatic situations, like figuring out who failed to correctly polish the silverware or cooking the beef medium instead of medium rare.
Leave your scummy life behind and be posh for a weekend from £700
Romany Caravan, Bush Meadows
Watched Peaky Blinders and thought, "hey, I want that gypsy life"? Me too, so I'm glad I stumbled across this cosy caravan in Bush, close to Jamie Oliver's and Rick Stein's famous restaurants.
No idea where Bush is, but will gladly go there to tell fake fortunes and for the humorous name alone.
Become a traveler for the weekend from £68
Charlie Chaplin's house, London
Charlie Chaplin lived here with his mother towards the end of the 19th century, and it is said to have been the inspiration for the setting of The Kid. So stick on a fake moustache and fall comically down the stairs all weekend. But maybe take the facial hair off when you go to one of the fine Kennington pubs in the area, just in case someone mistakes you for a well-known Nazi dictator.

Removing the dust and lint from your machine is something that needs to be done regularly. The thread running through the machine and constant movement of fabric across the needle plate creates a build up of dust and lint, which can clog the bobbin case and hook race and affect the timing of the machine's stitching.
Dust your machine from top to bottom, to ensure the dust moves downwards. Most of the dust will be where ever your bobbin is loaded, and under the needle plate. Remove the needle plate using your screwdriver, and use the brush to sweep out the dust and lint.
Although it is really tempting, don't blow on your machine to clear dust. Your breath contains moisture which can create more problems.
Use your brush to clear out your dust and lint, and if your hook race is secured to your machine, use your screwdriver to remove it. Many top loading bobbins can just be popped out.
Tweezers are handy for stray threads that can occasionally get caught up in your machine, but be gentle removing them.
Regular servicing is also a good idea. It isn't cheap, but it is worth it. Sewing machine dealers will offer machine servicing, as well as private trades people. Ask people you know to suggest a good service person or place in your area and get a few quotes. Personally I use my local Janome dealer and they do a full service for $120AU.
Once you've got your machine all sparkling clean, change your machine needle. Now you are ready for your next project!

Black Pols: Muscle or Myth?
Former Illinois Senate President Emil Jones is retired and he says out of elective politics for good. But that doesn't mean the 74 year old southsider doesn't still know "the game". After nearly 36 years as a state lawmaker and before then a democratic precinct worker and aldermanic aide, Jones knows the political landscape of Chicago's African-American community as well, if not better than anyone alive.
So when "the president", as he is still respectfully called, says the credibility of the city's black political leadership is on the line, people should take the warning seriously.
"Everybody's on the line" honked Jones in his legendary nasal baritone, "Everybody!"
Jones realizes that while virtually every black elected official in the city of Chicago has endorsed Governor Pat Quinn in the democratic primary, challenger Dan Hynes could carry the black wards next Tuesday or run strong enough in them to win the primary. Hynes strategists point to an independent poll suggesting the 41 year old Illinois Comptroller is leading by a stunning 45-38% margin among African American voters.
The governor's roster of black endorsers, including U.S. Congressmen (3), state reps and senators, city aldermen, county commissioners, suburban mayors, etc., are still reeling from Hynes' controversial "Harold Washington speaks from the grave" campaign ad. Will black voters heed the iconic Washington's 22-year-old taped warning about Pat Quinn's incompetence...or will they follow the advice of their living and breathing elected leaders and support the governor's election.
The African-American pols know that they will "wear the jacket" if they can't carry Quinn. Not only are they up against Dan Hynes' wily political operatives, they're in a fight for their own credibility with the ghost of the revered Washington.
And finally, there's the irony that eats away at them: candidate Hynes is the son of Tom Hynes, who "back in the day" was one of Harold Washington's most bitter political enemies.
This is serious stuff.
Just ask Emil Jones.

In results released on Friday, Australia's Paladin Energy showed a 47% increase in production from its Namibian and Malawian operations and record revenues of $208.7m on the back of a 31% increase in sales volumes for the nine months to March. The company said despite the concerns about the nuclear energy market following the tsunami damage to Japan's Fukushima plant, it believes supply and demand imbalances will only widen in future as more plants, such as the 25 under construction in China, come on stream. Paladin is on an aggressive growth drive. Stage 3 of the expansion of its Langer Heinrich mine that would bring capacity to 5.2m lb is 92% complete and in February 2011 the company announced that it completed its acquisition of the uranium assets of Aurora Energy in Labrador, Canada for C$260.8m.

No impact from Namiba policy shift expected – Paladin

"Paladin has welcomed this clarification, which removes any uncertainty over its operations in Namibia," the company said in a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

the Senior Pastor's Pen...
It is with profound gratitude, love and excitement that we look backward and number the faithfulness of God and we look forward to celebrating the 21st Century with the people of God in this fellowship of love.
It has been an honor for us to serve as Spiritual leaders of this local assembly. The challenge to win souls to Jesus Christ is a great one, but we appreciate the work we have been called to do. God has given us the assurance that He is right here with us. When we think of the wonderful people God has surrounded us with, in this ministry of restoration, love and Holy Ghost power that our hearts rejoice. We count it all joy to be involved in this ministry at this time and in this place.
There have been many experiences, some mountaintop and some valley, but in all things we give thanks. We have learned that no matter what the circumstances may be we can depend on Him to be faithful to His word.
The future of Community Christian Church is bright and we are looking forward to a fresh outpouring of God's power upon His people. The spirit of revival fire is beginning to boom! The level of spiritual maturity and commitment is evident in the church. God has promised us our neighborhood and to take us to a new horizon. We believe that our best days are just ahead of us. As we mountaintop on eagles wings, we will always be mindful of what God has already done for us. It is our prayer that we will live for the day, have hope for tomorrow and say to the past "goodbye!" With hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, we are anticipating a tremendous move of God, that which we have never seen in Community Christian Church. May God's anointing be upon this church.
Senior Pastor Charlie Clark, M.A

Business Application Development, QA & Maintenance San Antonio
Application development generally encompasses the development of new applications, including mainframe, server, network-based, web-based, or a combination. The requirements for new applications may include interfaces to existing applications. Y&L Consulting is well-versed in Business Application Development, QA & Maintenance San Antonio, having experience working with virtually every software on the market with, expertise in .Net, Java, SAP, ATG, Business Intelligence/IM, mobile apps, and SharePoint.
Some examples of activities performed within application development include:
- Researching
- Analyzing
- Gathering Requirements
- Designing
- Programming
- Testing
- Documenting and implementing
- Applying changes to the software language and/or database in which the application is written
- Providing corrections or other necessary changes
- Participating in disaster recovery planning and documentation
The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) needed an application for referral assignments and investigations tracking that would work for both the Claims Investigations and Field Investigations units. The OIG wanted the new application to make sure that all referrals were assigned, all investigations were tracked, over-payments were accurately calculated, and claims were established in a timely manner.
A total of four Y&L consultants were assigned to this project. The project required making large scale database and service changes to create a system that allowed fraud monitoring and prevention. The scope also included large scale data transformations to create elaborate reports for inter-agency and intra-agency consumption. There were also extensive batch changes, including coordination with outside agencies. The client was highly appreciative of the quality of the work performed, as well as the service and flexibility of Y&L in accommodating budget and staffing constraints.
Quality Assurance
Y&L relies on its Integrated Quality Assurance (iQA) process, which represents a framework that ensures all deliverables are of the highest quality. The iQA model at Y&L is drawn from a variety of knowledge bodies, such as the American Society of Quality (ASQ), Quality Assurance Institute (QAI), Total Quality Management (TQM) and others. The iQA is a process-oriented approach that implements quality processes into every phase of an IT project in order to increase overall quality, improve customer experience, reduce rework, and expedite time-to-market due to fewer quality issues.
Aside from our own internal practices, Y&L also provides QA automated and manual testing services for our clients.
Harland Clarke was integrating a third party product into its social media page, as well as an ATG application. The main challenge of the project was the new product's simultaneous interaction with multiple third-party applications and systems. Y&L used Orthogonal array testing to prioritize test cases and used HP's QTP to perform large scale automated testing to reduce time-to-market.
Y&L worked closely with the technical and QA departments to establish a lean and agile test bed for the application. All changes identified during testing were filtered through the project manager and were analyzed for risk, as well as their impact on the overall cost and timeline.
Maintenance & Support
Application maintenance and support includes the skills and requirements needed for supporting application systems, such as troubleshooting, modifying, maintaining, and enhancing legacy systems and applications running in a production environment.
There are many activities that Y&L performs on behalf of its clients within the maintenance and support category, which include, but are not limited to:
- Researching, analyzing, designing, programming, testing, documenting and implementing maintenance changes
- Correcting software errors
- Modifying reports and ensuring accurate report runs
- Modifying applications and documentation
- Writing ad hoc queries
- Loading and applying changes to the software language and/or database in which the application is written
- Providing corrections or any changes needed for production
- Participating in disaster recovery testing, planning, and documentation
- Providing service on a 24 x 7 or on-call basis
Based upon Y&L's performance on a successful FSCM migration and other SAP projects, Tesoro Corporation awarded us with an annual maintenance contract for implementing enhancements, change requests, and bug fixes.
Y&L was responsible for providing maintenance support to Tesoro's SAP systems. The support included fixing known defects, making code changes, and testing any new functionality that was approved for maintenance work. In addition, we identified opportunities for optimizing performance for all components being modified within approved change requests. The majority of change requests were in the HCM and PP SAP modules, including enhancement requests for the FSCM module.

Many will point to the May employment numbers [38,000 "jobs" added; 102 million unemployed or no longer looking for work; millions of low-wage legal and illegal immigrants competing with citizens for jobs] and the weak economy in general and pin all the blame on President Obama. However, Obama is only part of the problem. The real culprit is an economic philosophy shared by both Republicans and Democrats for many decades. It is a belief in the fantasy of effective central economic planning by the Federal Reserve. It is a belief that a central bank can determine better than the free market what interest rates should be. This belief results in mal-investment, spiraling debt, distorted markets, inflation, bubbles, and finally economic depression. * * * *Stock up on baked beans and lemonade, bitchez.
. . . What we are seeing is an epic failure of the Keynesians who have tricked so many people into believing that economic interventionism can create a perfect economy. They have mismanaged the economy and I am afraid the worst is yet to come.[1]

RGB Fan
Dimensions variable
altered fan, theater light, custom electronics
A theater spotlight shines on an industrial fan that has been altered to have three highly reflective fan blades- one red, one green, and one blue. The blades spin so fast that they blur together and produce a hypnotic ring of white-ish light projected on the adjacent wall. The somewhat choppy light is reminiscent of a cinematic frame rate, and induces strange optical phenomena and sensations. Photographing the piece with a high shutter speed produces a frozen rainbow of colors, illustrating what is known as the additive color process, in which red, green, and blue are added together to create a broad array of new colors.

Exactly 12 weeks from today I leave for New Zealand. I realize that seems like a long time compared to my Fulbright-mtvU colleagues. When we met in New York City for our orientation back in August, it seemed like they all had plane tickets and visas and were ready to go. New Zealand semesters run differently though, so the academic year won't start until February. Unfortunately for me, my anticipation has to build that much longer.
I will be traveling to New Zealand to study the importance of music in keeping Maori culture at the forefront of society. For anyone who isn't familiar with the Maori… you didn't see The Amazing Race on Sunday?! I was thrilled to see that it took place in New Zealand this weekend, and one of the challenges involved walking among Maori warriors. It is always exciting to see New Zealand get a shout-out beyond Lord of the Rings.
The Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand. I studied abroad for a semester in New Zealand when I was an undergrad with the intention of taking courses in communication to earn credit for my major. After a brief introduction to Maori culture at a hangi (traditional Maori meal), I was so enamored with the music and tradition that I changed half of my classes so that I could study Maori leadership and language. For a glimpse of what I experienced, search for a video of the haka anywhere on the Internet. I promise, as soon as I arrive I'll have more for you to check out.
I was very impressed with how visible Maori culture is in New Zealand society, and how music plays a huge role in that prominence. Beyond museums and classrooms, best online casino Maori culture is pervasive on television, on the radio, and in festivals held throughout the year. Not only is there a New Zealand Idol singing competition; there's also Maorioke, complete with three judges to rival Simon, Paula and Randy. When I return to New Zealand, I will be earning a certificate in Maori music from Auckland University of Technology, but more importantly I plan to get heavily involved in the Maori music scene. I will be creating two "rockumentaries" on significant Maori music events to show the effort that is put into earning respect for Maori music and culture. I think you will find the passion behind the Maori music movement inspiring; I know I was inspired, or else I would never have pursued this amazing opportunity.
In the meantime, all I can do is count the weeks and try to prepare as much as possible. I'm just getting into the process of arranging flights, getting my visa, and brushing up on the Maori I learned when I studied abroad in New Zealand- the title, fyi, means Hello! My name is Ainsley! Although nearly all Maori speak perfect English, I think that if I am able to speak a bit of Maori it will help show that I am serious about understanding the rich cultural history and political struggle of the Maori.
I can't thank Fulbright and mtvU enough for this chance of a lifetime. When I get to New Zealand, I'll be sharing videos, music, and more insight into Maori culture with you all, but until January 13… bear with me! Only 12 weeks to go…

Sex (In A Book) — how much is too much?
It is an award-winning educational exhibition that answers the main questions young people have about sexuality. It imparts what science has to say on the topic, conveys a positive image of sexuality and, ultimately, helps young people hone their judgment skills so they can make responsible and informed decisions.
|Image courtesy CBC.ca
(Luc Robitaille/Montreal Science Centre)
The sex exhibition is a travesty to the majority of Canadians who believe that sexual activity is reserved for spouses within the context of marriage.
That level of violence had no opponents from the "family values" champions. But while viewing an inanimate art exhibition they see vile sex.

Here's a link to the Exhibitor Mailing List.
Some of us are old enough to remember when there were only three TV networks: NBC, ABC and CBS, and maybe one local TV station, AM dominated radio, newspapers and magazines were the most in-depth source for news.Your options for getting the news on TV were only at 6:00 PM or 11:00 PM.
Today, with the addition of satellite and cable, there are hundreds of TV stations. Many have news 24/7, hundreds of radio stations, with the addition of XM and Sirius and the Internet is always up-to-date so there is no need for newspapers and magazines.
On top of this extreme media competition, people have DVR's and skip through the commercials!
That's why the ROI has recently gotten so low. Companies are spending more in advertising than they're making on the product!
Another problem today is technology products have many features and are complex, so educating customers with a 30 second TV spot or even a 60 second radio spot just isn't enough time.
Another option is direct mail, but printing and postage are prohibitive, and most of your mail ends up in the trash. People just won't take the time to look at it anymore because there are so many other things to do today.
So we have created an exciting and entertaining expo where buyers are coming to you with the mind set of learning about new products. The important point here is: these people are in the mood to listen to you.
At this show you can do a one-on-one demonstration and are able to take the time to educate your customers and answer their questions. They will tell their friends and that will be your best ROI!
Just imagine thousands of consumers passing your exhibit…taking pictures and making videos that end up on YouTube and Facebook!
There is no other consumer show that gives manufacturers this opportunity to exhibit new products directly to consumers and get their feedback about what they like and don't like about the product. Also the consumer can tell the manufacturers their ideas for improving the product.
This is a great way to test new products before making large marketing investments.
This is an ideal one-on-one opportunity for start ups.
The best spaces go first so call 408-465-2300 today to reserve your booth.
Advertising will consist of: several freeway billboards, radio ads, TV ads, newspaper ads magazine ads, E-Mails and social media.
Expected attendance is 30,000.
West Coast Expos, Inc. has produced over 400 expos since 1983.

At our last meeting, guest speaker Elaine Scarlett provided us with a social, historical and family perspective on the 1892 fatal railway accident at Melton Mowbray. Our March 15th meeting will look at life in a railway cottage and the principal industry supporting the now-closed Northampton line. We will also have the opportunity to examine and discuss an 1830s coaching map depicting the heyday of local routes and facilities prior to their demise, caused by the coming of the railway. As usual, we will have coffee and a general get-together before the meeting proper. New members are always welcome – come along for a taster session if you are interested. Phil Danks.

7th June EDIT: After I stop using the Sensitive brush for quite a period of time, I realize that my face was over cleansed and over exfoliated. My face was used to be over cleansed and over exfoliated due to the brush until I did not notice it myself. It is harder to see as my skin is usually dry and dehydrated. Therefore, there are some edits and changes to the respective areas of this review. The EDITS are in black and bold like this. Scroll down to see the edits!
Ahhhh….. The dilemma of choosing which brush head to use to suit your skin after getting excited about buying your first Clarisonic or getting worried about whether it suits your skin(Like me). After all that mixed feelings and thoughts; you just stick with the sensitive brush like me. At that time, I could not find any review with a detail proper comparison between the two. So this post I am going to give a detailed breakout down comparison of these 2 brushes. So read on if you want to know more!
So read on if you want to know more!
After started using Clarisonic, my skin condition has improved. I would not say a lot but it did make a difference and that is good enough for me. Not only that, it increases the absorption rate of how much of product my skin absorb.
I have been using the sensitive brush for over 1 year plus, coming to 2 years. I felt that it was good enough for my skin as I did not know what to expect. I was also worried that if I change the type of brush head, I would have a breakout or the absorption rate of my skin would decrease and the list goes on. So here I am to inform you whether it does that without you spending the extra money on a brush that you are not sure about!
Note: I am using Clarisonic Mia 2
What is Clarisonic?
Claims of Clarisonic and their Brush Heads
How do I usually use it
How did I test and compare the brushes
Comparison Review
Cost and where I bought it
What is Clarisonic?
(Based on the international official website)
Clarisonic uses a system that uses "breakthrough technology to make skin look younger, healthier, and more radiant than ever before. Using gentle sonic frequency micro massage waves, it far outperforms manual methods or rotary cleansing devices. Not just a rotating brush, a skin care revolution. Clarisonic's patented sonic frequency technology gives you the power to cleanse and infuse your skin better than old-fashioned devices that simple spin or oscillate. "
My intake on what it is: Simply this tool helps to cleanse your skin much better than your hands or other cleansing tools; improve your skin texture while exfoliating your skin. As simple as that! Don't need all those technical or technology words. Hahaha!! 😀
(Based on their official website)
I will keep it short and simple. I am not going into details as this is a Clarisonic brush head review and not Clarisonic Review. I will inform you about what they say from their official website.
- 6x better cleansing than hands alone (Optimal Cleansing)
- Acne to significant improvement
- Improves appearance of mature skin (Anti-Aging)
- Reduces oily appearance by deep pore cleansing
- Reduce appearance of pores
- Gentle for daily use without disrupting the skin barrier
- Reduction in dry patches and improves skin tone
- 90% report more radiant/glowing skin (Radiance)
- Infusions create firmer, brighter, more hydrated skin (Brightness)
Clarisonic's Brush Heads
"Brush heads need to be replaced every 3 months because the bristles become fatigued and less effective over time. "
Delicate Brush
Skin Type: Dry
Benefits: Extra gentle and plush, the Clarisonic Delicate Brush Head is designed for delicate skin prone to irritation and dehydration.
Sensitive Brush
Skin Type: All Types
Benefits: Ideal for most skin types, including sensitive and combination skin, the Clarisonic Sensitive Brush Head Provides a gentle yet thorough cleanse.
How do I usually use it:
After applying and massaging the cleanser all over my face, I would use Clarisonic onto my face after damping the brush head with water.
Note: I stop any sort of physical exfoliation on my face after starting using Clarisonic.
How do I test and compare the brushes
Time Duration:
- Over the course of 2 months with a break week in between each week. (Technically only test is 1 month)
- The reason is that I wanted to let my skin rest, let the brushes results affect each other and try to be as fair as possible.
- 1st month is the delicate brush and the 2nd month is the sensitive brush.
- One entire week for each speed.
- For example, week 1 delicate brush speed 1 and week 3 delicate brush speed 2.
- Use 5 times per week
- I usually use it only about 4 times max per week but I wanted to really really test out these brushes.
- 2 alternate days and 3 back to back days
- Clarisonic is meant to be used daily. I have been using it alternate days for as long as I could remember. So I wanted to see how my skin reacts to it.
Skin Care Routine:
- Anti-Acne Routine when using the Clarisonic
- I usually do not use Acid Products so many times per week. I wanted to test how does my skin react to using the different brush heads when it is in a venerable and sensitive state. For those of you have thin or really sensitive skin
- Different routine when not using but it is fixed to make it fair
- It was so hard for someone like me who customize her routine, to have a fixed routine schedule. I had to write it down and check which products I was supposed to use that day. Was not funny!
- Cream
- Foamy
Comparison Review
(Please do not mind the "Body" word as I am using that for my body after this test. So I did not use it for both body and face before you starting grossing out. Hahaha!! )
Applying on the brush or on the face first does not make such a big difference between the two brush heads. Even with the different type of cleanser (Cream or Foamy).
Personally, I prefer working and massaging the cleanser on my face first; before using the Clarisonic. As I felt it is less messy and the product is evenly distributed on my face.
Brush absorption of the products
To be honest, I did not see much of a difference for both brushes for the absorption of products. As the time frame of testing this product is not that long to really see the difference and it is hard to tell the difference. However, the delicate brush did not increase my skin sensitive and gave me redness, unlike sensitive brush, did. The delicate brush did not give me any problems with the acid products.
There is a difference between the 2. Delicate's brush head bristles are thinner and longer compare to the sensitive brush head. This might be 1 of the reason why delicate brush head is much softer to the touch and gentler.The bristles' hole on the head is slightly bigger and denser for sensitive brush heads. Another thing to take note is that due to the delicate brush head's bristles being thin and long, I felt that the brush might lose its effectiveness and not last as long as sensitive brush head.
As you can see from the pictures the Delicate Brush Head is losing its shape when it is actually newer than the Sensitive Brush Head.
Delicate Brush
I felt that it was not exfoliating and cleaning my skin as deeply as I
like it to be used to. This might be due to the fact that the bristles are longer, thinner and less compact compared to the sensitive brush. However, when I use the speed 2, I felt that exfoliating and cleaning my skin was just nice. It was good to use for daily but it does not really deep cleanse my pores
EDIT: Both speeds are perfect for my skin. It deep cleanses my pores without over cleansing and over exfoliating my skin. I usually use speed 1 for daily usage and speed 2 for extra exfoliating (2-3 times per week).
(Note: I might be so used to the sensitive brush that I felt this way but it is actually already deep cleansing my face. So keep that in mind.). It does the job well. It is gentle and soft to my skin like how it was claimed. You are unable to feel the individual bristles when you use on your skin unlike the sensitive brush (Which I love). Did not give me any problem when I use the acid products (BHAs and AHAs) 3 days in a row. My skin is on the thicker side. So this would be good for those who have thinner skin or those who can see capillary veins on their face.
That is something you would want to take note. If you are going to use speed 2, you would have to charge it more often and this leads to the increase of electricity used for this tool.
EDIT/NOTE: When you use speed 2 on a daily basis, you would have to charge your Clarisonic every few weeks instead of every few months.
Sensitive Brush
For both speeds, this brush exfoliates very nicely and cleanse my skin very deeply.
EDIT: For either of the speeds, I realize that this brush was over cleansing and over exfoliating my skin without realizing it until I stop using it for quite a few months.
However, I felt that it was too harsh to the skin to use it every day. I could feel the bristles on my skin going back and forth. For speed 1, the 1st 2 back to back days was okay but on the 3rd day, my skin starts to show some signs of over exfoliating and an increase of skin sensitivity. It was not a huge increase and this might be due to the fact that I used acid products 3 days in a row. I felt that if you do not use acid products 3 days in a row unlike me(Due to the test); and your skin is not sensitive or thin, it should be fine to use it EDIT: once in a while or 2-3 times per week.
daily. If your skin is sensitive but not thin, it should be fine to use it continuing for 2-3 days.
For speed 2, it was kind of a scary experience for me. For the alternate days, it was fine. It did not give me big problems. It was slightly over exfoliating my skin but not so much that is was giving me a problem. However, I felt that the bristles are like scratching my skin and it is not a good feeling. The scary part is during the consistent 3 back to back days. On the 2nd day, my skin sensitive increase and show signs of over exfoliating. My cheeks turn slightly red. I was kind of expecting this seeing how my skin reacted previously. However, I did not think that it was so bad that when I put the BHA product it cause my skin to itch while I was waiting for the 20 minutes to let it work. Like itching at many different areas and not just 1 or 2. Usually, it does not itch unless I use a high pH level cleanser, have a bad reaction to a product or my skin is really dry or dehydrated that day. I just push it aside thinking I might use too much BHA product as the AHA did not give me the same problem. I was wrong.
On the 3rd day, my skin sensitive still increase and show even more signs of over exfoliating. It starts to react badly as soon as I apply the BHA product onto my face. I could not take it (even applying mist to my face. It usually works) and wait for the 20 minutes. I skip the AHA and apply as many moisturizing and hydrating products as I can to my face. I manage to calm it down but I would not be doing that ever again. Do not get me wrong. My skin is able to handle AHAs and BHAs well.It likes the combination of the 2 rather than 1 (But hates it when I apply it too much though. Haha!!). Delicate Brush did not give me any of this kind of problems when I use acid products back to back for 3 days straight. That says something.
If you have normal skin, this might be good for you. As you would not react so badly to me who have dry and
quite sensitive skin. This would also be good for those who have really dry flaky skin as it really exfoliates your skin. However, you might want to test it for yourself first since it comes with together with the machine. As everybody has a different kind of skin even if it is the same type. Not only that, this is from my skin experience and not yours. If your skin does not like it, use it for the body! Even though it says for the face but who cares?! As long you do not use the same brush for your face and body. It's fine!
EDIT: I would never use the Sensitive brush on my face again. For those who are particular or worried about over cleansing and over exfoliating your face. It's best to start from Delicate Brush first compare to sensitive brush.
The sensitive brush works well on the body. I use it on the rough areas of my body like the knees and elbows.
For daily usage, I prefer the delicate brush way more than the sensitive brush.
I would still use the sensitive brush but only once or twice every week if I really need a deep cleanse. If you are using a model that has more than 1 speed, make use of that. Especially if you have combination skin or any skin type that has sensitive at a/a few particular areas. I have sensitive skin but more on a few particular areas. So here is my tip to you on how to really cleanse your face without making your skin react (from over exfoliating or cleansing).
Tips: Use the lower speed on the sensitive areas and higher speed on the other side of the face. For example for me, I get sensitive on my cheek areas. (Following the Clarisonic timing and directions) I would use the Delicate Brush speed 2 for the 1st 40 seconds (T-Zone) and speed 1 for the last 20 seconds (Cheeks). This works really well for me.
Recommendation Skin Type for Delicate Brush:
- Sensitive
- Thin Skin
- For those who can see the capillary veins, use the Clarisonic with a light hand as you have the risk of the "breaking" your veins.
- Combination
- Different speed on the different areas to suit your skin type.
- Oily
- As you would not have a lot of dead skin, unlike dry skin people. You might over exfoliate without realizing it as you naturally produce more sebum and that protects/moisturize your skin
Recommendation Skin Type for Sensitive Brush:
- Normal
- Thicker skin
- Very Dry Flaky
Tip: I would advise you to try out the sensitive brush first. Since it comes with the Clarisonic itself. As you would not need to waste the extra money if it suits your skin. If it does not suit your skin, you could just buy the delicate brush.

President Chung, who has had a large role to play in the successful staging of the three-week event as Chairman of the Committee for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, was joined by FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, Chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) Junji Ogura and Tatjana Haenni, FIFA Head of the Women's Competitions.
The conference was held at the Conrad Hotel in Tokyo on Friday and offered those gathered their last chance to hear from the assembled dignitaries before the tournament wraps up in fitting fashion today with the match for third and final.
Both games will take place at Tokyo's National Stadium and will see Nigeria fight it out with hosts Japan for the bronze before USA and Germany do battle for the main prize.
Many aspects of the development of women's football were discussed at yesterday's press conference and President Chung took the time to offer his gratitude to those who have worked so hard to make the tournament a success.
"I have to congratulate the LOC and the Japan Football Association for their commitment which has delivered a highly-successful tournament," he said.
"I can testify that FIFA and the LOC have enjoyed an excellent co-operation. I have visited all the venues and I can say that all stadiums and facilities were in excellent condition. It is always wonderful to organise a tournament in Japan with so much local knowledge and professionalism."
The memorable event may be just about to wrap up but President Chung believes it will leave a lasting impact.
"We are hopeful that the tournament will bring more girls to football," he said.
"Japan has confirmed its status in women's football in Asia and we trust tournaments such as this will inspire the next generation. This tournament is also a positive move for FIFA as it underlines our solidarity towards Japan's football family and is a way of inspiring people affected by last year's earthquake and tsunami and to leave a legacy in the country."
Oceania representatives New Zealand performed strongly in the group stages with a pair of good results, 2-1 over Switzerland and 2-2 against Japan, but exited the tournament after losing 4-0 to Mexico.

How we can help you with a broken project
May 16th, 2017
It's not unusual for us to get called in to fix a broken project. We're always happy to help.
And after years of helping businesses with this issue, we've learned a few things about broken projects.
These can be on a large or small scale. In most cases, our client has spent money with the intent of reaching a preset goal, but for a multitude of reasons that goal was not achieved.
We are then called in to get the project back on track, and help our client reach their goal.
We've found that there are a few important things to keep in mind in order for us to help our clients pick up broken projects quickly and efficiently.
What happened
To fix a problem, we need to know in detail what happened from the beginning. This can be difficult, since people previously involved on the project may be hesitant to divulge information for fear of finger-pointing or receiving blame.
However, this is not the time for accusations. This is the time to lay out a road map of what happened, so we can identify the barriers and work to overcome them.
An easy way to focus the team on the problem at hand, and not on specific people, is to have each person discuss the tasks they performed, what went well, and what could have been done better.
To get people talking openly, it's often helpful to have the project manager or lead start the discussion listing what they did, what went well, and what they could have done better.
What needs to be done
Often, our clients have a clear vision of their end goal. However, sometimes on a large IT project, the vision becomes blurry. This can be due to unforeseen impacts of the project, or differing expectations from various stakeholders.
Whatever the reason, we meet with the team and all stakeholders to ensure that everyone understands the project finish line.
To stay on task as the project starts moving forward, teams can adopt the stoplight description for tasks. When the team meets for project updates, each stakeholder can list the status of their task as a green, yellow, or red light. A green light means that the task is completed or being completed. A yellow light indicates that there are some gaps or challenges with a specific task. A red light means that a task is at a full stop.
When these updates are given, the team can compile a list of all the tasks with a yellow or red light status. Then, using all the resources available to the team, they can begin working through that list to mitigate those challenges.
Keys to reaching the end goal
We have found some key points are especially helpful to remember when completing a project that has faced some challenges in the past:
- Start and finish something before adding on to it.
- Appoint someone on staff as the project manager.
- Have a secondary project manager for oversight and accountability.
- Communicate often.
- Agree on a system for approvals to give checks and balances for the project.
- Set expectations with both developers and end users.
- Avoid best case and worst case scenarios. Reality is usually somewhere in between.
Rest assured that, with patience, broken projects can certainly be fixed.
Oracle software audits: What you need to know
May 2nd, 2017
Recently, a company in Oklahoma told us about their experience being audited by Oracle. They were long-time Oracle users, and had never previously been audited.
Over the course of many years, their company's IT personnel installed and ran various Oracle programs, but never performed a self-audit to check for appropriate licensing.
For this client, years of installing new features without referring back to their licensing agreement with Oracle ended up costing them a lot of money. $200,000 to be exact.
This is a common problem we see. Often, businesses install Oracle software, and as their IT needs change, install more software. However, during the installation process, there are specific boxes that get checked, allowing for greater functionality that is over and above what's provided in the business' original software license with Oracle.
This cycle gets repeated. Over time, this leads to major (and expensive) problems during an audit.
Here's what you need to know in order to prevent an expensive penalty from an Oracle software audit.
Oracle's honor system
Unlike Microsoft systems, Oracle's software can be installed based on an honor system. Oracle does not require a key code to install their product.
While this allows for ease of use at install, it can also allow users to inadvertently install features they may or may not need, and which may or may not be included in their licensing agreement.
Oracle does perform random audits of users. If a user (business) is found to be using software or features without the proper licensing, Oracle charges a penalty based on what the user would have paid if they bought the appropriate license in the first place.
Be the skeptic
Any time your team is installing new software, be the skeptic. Teach your IT people that it's okay to question whether a new feature is included in the license.
Always refer back to the licensing agreement for comparison. If something isn't clear, be proactive and reach out to Oracle or an approved Oracle vendor, like LSG Solutions, with any questions.
Get your IT staff in the routine of preforming self-audits. Compare the current software running with your licensing agreement to see if there are any gaps.
If gaps are discovered, ask questions such as:
- Is this feature being used?
- Why was this feature turned on or installed?
- Should we purchase the appropriate license or uninstall the item?
As always, LSG Solutions is ready to help your organization with any needs related to Oracle software licensing. Some of our clients will self-audit and then ask us to assist in verifying the information, which we're happy to do.
Though we are an Oracle Value-added Reseller in Oklahoma, our relationship with our customers is paramount. We're not the Oracle police. We don't report customer information back to Oracle. But we will help you get back in compliance, so you won't face a huge penalty if Oracle audits your company.
Please contact us at 405-285-2500 or our contact form for questions and other assistance.
