17th September - 23th September 2014
18th September 2014, Thursday
7.30 p.m. - 9.00 p.m.
*Special: 10% discount off Andara Crystals and Pendants*
Archangels of the Five Elements Workshop is an illuminating, experiential workshop designed to expand our understanding and relationship as well as how we can work with five major Archangels known throughout history and esoteric writings.
Many of you may already be fairly familiar with them and could be working with them to some extent. They are Archangels Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Metatron.
In this introductory talk find out some interesting facts about Archangels and Angels. You will also be given some pointers on how to distinguish the true beings of light from impostors.
We will be working with Andara Crystals in the course of the evening as we will be during the Workshop. Andara Crystals, of course, are Master Healers and Master Manifestors and direct us to higher dimension and Source.
Come for an evening of joyful experiences, angel love and Andara blessings!"
Archangel of the Five Elements
20th September 2014, Saturday
10.30 a.m. - 5.30 p.m.
Everyone has heard of Angels and when we hear the word 'Angel', we think of benevolent and helpful winged beings beaming great light. Many of us ask Angels to help us with events which happen in our daily lives or when something major happens.
Some may even have heard of Archangels especially famous ones like Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael.
So what or who are 'Archangels'? Well, they are extraordinarily powerful beings who are the heads or the chiefs of their 'stream' of angels which share the same vibratory frequencies or tasks.
There are many, many streams of Angels and therefore many, many Archangels too. We are going to focus, however, on the Archangels assigned to the five elements which are Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Ether in the Western Esoteric Tradition and they are the Archangels Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Metatron. They are amongst the most famous ones and we will be meeting with them and working with them during the course of the Archangels of the Five Elements Workshop.
When we work with Angels and Archangels, we begin to experience wonderful synchronicities and invite magic into our lives.
In this Archangels of The Five Elements Workshop, you will expand your knowledge and understanding of these Archangels and the Angelic Realm and very importantly how they relate to us here in this dimension.
In this fun, experiential workshop you will also:
1) Be given an overview of the Western Esoteric Tradition,
2) Understand what each of the five elements represent,
3) Learn to recognize when the 5 elements are balanced or when any of them are out of balance,
4) Meet the wonderfully loving and powerful Archangels and find out their stories,
5) Find out how to best work with them in the different areas of your life, including health and abundance, and experience magic,
6) Learn a simple ritual to call in the Five Archangels to protect your magical space,
7) Bonus No. 1 - Learn how to work with Archangel Michael to dissolve energy cords between yourself and another,
8) Bonus No. 2 - Be introduced to the Violet Flame and Archangel Zadkiel.
During this fun Workshop, our loving friends, the Andara Crystals, will be present to raise our vibratory frequencies and to help us reach deeper levels of relaxation in meditation.

Andara Crystal is a glass-like transmuted mineral complex made from naturally occurring etherium powders of gold, silver, iridium, platinum and other metals. These crystals exhibit extraordinary metaphysical properties.
The Andara Crystals also carry a consciousness well beyond that normally associated with crystals. Indeed, the still rare Andara Crystals have surfaced at this time to help us transform and evolve gracefully into who we are meant to be, actualized Galactic Humans.
With the Andara Crystals, thoughts become more focused, and the transformational process of energy (intent) into matter is accentuated. The vibrational difference between thought, and the object of the thought, becomes reduced. Therefore, the time and conscious effort required to manifest intent into physical reality is also reduced.
Many experience the effects of Andara Crystals as dramatically expanded sensory perception and access to information beyond normal third dimensional channels. Intuition is increased, especially experiences of telepathic connection with other people or beings. Connections to your higher divine self are strengthened, increasing feelings of universal oneness, harmony and joy.
Andara Crystals are a soul enhancing, high vibrational healing tool that works on all levels; physical, emotional, and spiritual. The process creates a unique healing experience, individual for each person, assisting him or her in releasing unwanted energies while moving toward their next evolution of truth, and back to original divine consciousness.
The Andara Crystal is one of the master crystals, a healer and a powerful tool for:
1) increasing awareness and vibration to access universal knowledge;
2) cleaning and balancing chakras;
3) activates one's energy-channeling ability;
4) accelerates the spiritual development process, and
5) aids a person to manifest the life s/he chooses and so much more."

"Like many others in the industry I have known Andrew for a number of years and am excited by what he brings to the table both personally and professionally.
"In addition to his development capabilities, Andrew also brings in extensive understanding of hotel operations and strata title hotel structures and will be a key member of Lancemore's Executive team. We are very excited to have Andrew join the Lancemore family."

The Office of Healthy Ohio has recognized Mercy Medical Center, along with 32 other Ohio businesses, for healthy worksite practices.
Healthy Ohio Business Council Chair Cynthia Crosthwaite will present the seventh-annual Healthy Ohio-Healthy Worksite awards on Friday, February 11 at 12:15 p.m. at the Embassy Suites in Dublin. The ceremony will be held during Health Action Council Ohio's Columbus Kick Off conference that features national experts on health reform, health care systems and health benefits including Roger C. Merrill, M.D. of Perdue Farms Incorporated.
More than 80 companies, cities and townships applied for the 2010 awards, which recognize Ohio employers that demonstrate a commitment to employee health through comprehensive worksite health promotion and wellness programs.
"Workers spend a significant time at their jobs," Crosthwaite said. "Healthy practices at work almost certainly will translate to healthy practices at home and a valuable reduction in health care costs. These Ohio employers are leading the way in providing exemplary workplace wellness programs for their employees."
Mercy Medical Center, which is a ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System, earned a bronze award in the large employer category (301 or more employees).
"We are thrilled to receive the Healthy Ohio-Healthy Worksite award as well as the American Heart Association Fit Friendly company Gold award for the third year in a row," commented Kathy G. Wise, RD, LD, LWC, Director of Health & Wellness at Mercy Medical Center, "Mercy has demonstrated its commitment to wellness by developing a results-oriented wellness initiative with organizational strategies that will last over time."
Wise added that Mercy is helping its employees lead healthier lives by creating a culture that supports wellness. Housed at the Ohio Department of Health, the Office of Healthy Ohio consists of three core areas: health promotion, disease prevention and health equity.

The Passerby
Basic (free) Member
---- Updated 6/22/2019 10:23:02 PM
The Passerby
Hello. This is a somewhat emotive folk / alt country song I recorded this month.
The Passerby
The guitar strumming pattern takes me back to a simpler time. The way the vocals lines drop in with the guitar leads the listener down a long winding road.
Mike sings this as if he is a modern day highway man wandering along the side of the road with his acoustic guitar slung across his back.
The highway man looking for a ride may not have all good intentions for the one who decides to give him a lift or maybe the risk is in getting caught up in the unknown background of the highway man.
Its an interesting song that leaves how the story winds up in the imagination of the listener.
The sole acoustic guitar and lonely vocals haunt the listener. Somewhere a campfire along the side of the road glows as the coyote howls in the distance the highway man wanders on for the road he travels knows no end.
Thank you for the review! I love the imagery you've provided for it!
I like the sound of this. It has the feel of folks sitting around with guitars and sharing stories.
What to title a song is something I think about a lot. I'd like to imagine that if someone heard this song once, they'd want to hear it again. If they didn't already know the song's title, what would they ask for?
Nowhere in your song do you say "the passerby", and even though your song might be about "the passerby", someone who has only heard the song, and not the title, wouldn't have a clue what to ask for. If this was a written (not told orally) story or a book, "The Passerby" would be a fine title, but songs are more ethereal than physical. You have to give people something to grab onto. The most repeated phrase is "Are you going my way?".
In my opinion (after all, that's all this is) "Are You Going My Way?" is (at least part of) the title to this piece. It could be "The Passerby (Are You Going My Way?)",
but I feel like you are shooting yourself in the foot in terms of repeat listeners, if they don't know what to ask for.
Hey Kurt,
Regarding your comments on "the passerby" Mike Lance does say the phrase the passerby but it is only said once. I know the song pretty well since I covered it on my page. While "are you going my way" might make the song more recognizable because its repeated more often. The song is not about "are you going my way" the song is about the passerby himself or what he represents hence the title the passerby. See below first verse.
"It's a familiar, trite scene
At the crossroads, barren and swept clean
With no way to take you home
When behold from the far side
There approaches a lone passerby
Who must seem quite strange, all silver and champagne
We'll I'd feel like Robert Johnson
Way back in nineteen-thirty-somethin'
As the sun sets on the plains, and on and on and on they're saying"
Totally missed that. Thanks for pointing that out.
Did you get what I was saying about people wanting to request a song?
The song may be about "the passerby", but that doesn't necessarily mean that it should be the title. At least to me. Maybe in emo/folk music it does. Anyone is free to call their own songs whatever they want. I feel like it's easier to broaden your listening base when you use more recognizable titles. I'm not going to demand that people do it.
Hey Kurt yeah man I totally get what your saying. Its nice to see some discussion here in the review section has been pretty barren for a long while.
You make a valid point. My opinion on it is that these days it seems like songs just say one thing over and over on repeat and that tends to be the song name I think that is just boring and borderline boorish it assumes the audience has no intelligence.
While "the passerby" as a title in some was might not lend itself to help people remember. I think Mike Lance chooses to hint at it rather than cram it down peoples throats which seems to be the current trend.
As you said there is no right or wrong way. Its not my song, Those are my thoughts. They are worth about a Mexican half peso.
Hello Mike ... just want to start with what I consider the strongest and best part of this tune ... you have an excellent voice (timbre) ... as soon as the song finished, I hit replay, ... wish I had that ...
the song itself has a nice easy feel and the lyrics are compelling enough to remain interesting, I especially like the line (I thought I heard something faint I wish you'd reconsider)
The only part I didn't care for (of course it's just my ears) is I would have backed up on the "don'ts" some, as they seem a bit too harsh and out of place for this wonderful tune ... peace
I missed a lot of recent activity in this thread. I wish Kurt was still around because a lot of thought was put into the title, and I find it to be a very interesting topic of discussion, one of which I have a difference in opinion about.
Thanks Ken, as always, for taking such an interest in this song and spending possibly as much time with it as I have. This was of course my first song on IMP since becoming active musically again, and without your enthusiasm this could have been a fleeting thing.
And thank you Man with No Band, I appreciate the kind words and insight. For someone to tell me that they immediately replayed a song of mine after wrapping up a listen is a huge compliment. With regards to the "Don't" section, are you referring to the delivery of the main vocal, or the backups? I do realize those are slightly off, and have been thinking of toning them down a bit between now and when I finalize whatever album becomes of these songs. I was looking for a more impassioned vocal at this point since it marks the point the "narrator" makes an emotional plea to another character.

Did everyone see (and make use of, if needed) the outstandingly helpful links that Hanna included in her comment to yesterday's post? If not. Go now. We'll wait. Also? Share around. Help doesn't help if we keep it to ourselves.
Back now? Good deal, let's get going. As always, I've got shit to say this afternoon. It was an "early" day out. I went HERE and it was delightful. Many years ago I had this sort of treatment, with exceptionally positive results. What I went in for today is my painful edema and (super fucking annoying) carpal tunnel wrist numbness. (Plus weight-gain issues, that's just on-going .)
I go back next Friday and will keep you posted. Although, as I noticed with the detox tea combo, I may not be your best source of info. I was thinking that my jar drinking method would be more effective yesterday if I had done it before ten p.m.
What WAS entirely successful though, was our channeled message. When I got up today (only a few minutes later than I'd aimed for, way to go, me!) it was loud and clear.
Community – Neighborhood;
be involved, make a difference.
The key word here is: interaction. Whatever area you are drawn to, don't hesitate. Then, be PART of it. The message from our card altar is totally connected to this.
"Angel of Communication ~
Communicate clearly;
don't be afraid to tell it like it is.
One of your major lessons in this lifetime is to learn to communicate what you want clearly. You assume that those around you know what you want or how you feel. Yet the truth is that they do not. Because of your failure to communicate honestly and clearly, those around you often end up confused or, at best, having to guess what it is you want, feel, and expect.
Do not be afraid to say it like it is. You cannot lose anything by simply stating your truth. You do not need to blame or accuse others in order to speak your truth, just state your case clearly.
Underlying this whole issue is a fear of not being accepted or not gaining the approval of others, and therefore you are often afraid to speak up. Know that it is an act of love unto yourself and others to communicate clearly, lovingly, and honestly.
The Angel of Communication is here to help you work through this issue. Through this process you will honour and empower yourself and gain much respect and love from others."
My Favorite line here is: You cannot lose anything by simply stating your truth. Because I believe in this SO strongly, also because it's a Universal law. And as we are reminded, it's an act of love to live in a genuine and truthful way.

Today's Mileage:
included only one destination, my appointment, which wasn't even as far as downtown, a mere 4.825 miles round-trip, in 28 minutes 19 seconds, with a surprisingly zippy pace, considering the damn wind and heat, of 10.2 MPH.
Tonight's Kitchen Adventures:
may or may not be some type of cookies. I had wanted to pick up a few (really, I love this place so damn much) yesterday, or even earlier this afternoon. But it never worked out that I was right there. So now I might need to just heat the upstairs even more and bake too many of our own.

Good questions!
- A VPN won't protect you from a rogue provider of public WiFi. A malicious WiFi operator could intercept the connection between yourself and the VPN; you'd never know. It's best to stick with WiFi that you trust or better still use 3G/4G. A VPN does make it harder for unsophisticated attackers to intercept your data.
- In addition to trusting the public WiFi operator you must also trust your VPN provider not to do anything nasty like replacing the OneDrive SSL certificates. Assuming that they're not intercepting your connection to OneDrive then the connection between your computer and OneDrive is safe.
- As long as both of the above two criteria are satisfied then you're safe.
Now you know of the general ways in which your connection may be compromised I'll explain a bit more –
- Because you're using AxCrypt you enjoy an additional layer of security in that even if a rogue WiFi operator and/or a rogue VPN provider were to intercept your connection, then all they'd see is encrypted data because of the how AxCrypt works.
A very sophisticated attacker may attempt to intercept your connection to AxCrypt servers so if you're in a high-risk environment you should activate 'Always Offline' within AxCrypt prior to connecting to the internet.
For most intents and purposes, unless you're handling exceptionally confidential information, your current setup is more than secure.

I last wrote at the conclusion of my most hectic semester at UGA - student teaching in an eighth grade Georgia Studies classroom. I now write as an official graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in Middle Grades Education. What? It's amazing how faithfully life goes on, even when time doesn't seem to be passing. As I sit here looking through graduation photos I am constantly reminded of my mother's most used phrase, "You'll miss this one day." Even when I was very young she warned me not to wish my life away. I am only now truly beginning to understand what she meant. Though I hate to admit it, she couldn't be more right. How can I already miss college? For me it is more of missing the familiarity of being a student than the tests, projects, papers, and anxiety. My identity has been completely intertwined with being a student for oh, what? Almost twenty years if we count pre-school. I guess it's okay to mourn the end of familiarity. At least for me, I've still got a good thirty or so years until I'm really done with school. Thanks, mom for instilling a love of education in me. There aren't many people who love school enough to go for the rest of their lives! And thanks for loving me through the tests, projects, papers, and anxiety. Happy Mother's Day!

I needed a tow for a short distance. I found a review for century. Following the good reviews, I called and my order was handled professionally by the operator. A truck was dispatched and arrived in a timely manner. The truck was clean inside and out and was in great condition. The driver was professional and handled everything very well, from pickup to drop off and billing. I was very pleased with the service. If the need arises again, I would use this service again. dja

As I wrapped up my playthrough of Vader Immortal's third and final episode, my reaction was "Huh. So that's it?" The novelty of a VR Star Wars experience had worn off a while ago, and Vader Immortal's threadbare mechanics had long since run out of steam, leaving only its mediocre plot. Maybe it's partially because I'm fresh off the far superior storytelling of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but to put it mildly, this finale was underwhelming.Virtually nothing new is introduced during Episode 3's 45 short minutes as Vader Immortal's weirdly mystical, MacGuffin-based adventure resolves. If you're played Episodes 1 and 2, it goes pretty much exactly the way you probably expect. There was never anything even approaching a surprising development outside of its trite deus ex machina ending. And while Vader is as large and imposing a presence as ever, I couldn't help but think about how similar the climactic lightsaber battle it had all been building toward was to sparring with droids in the first episode.
The most satisfying moment of using the Force is, once again, a very brief and simple puzzle in which you slot power crystals into sockets. It feels like the objects you're moving are partially guided toward the slot, but in a way that feels intuitive and smooth. It's a shame Vader Immortal didn't lean into this telekinesis further with some more interesting puzzles, because it's disappointingly limited to that single scene.
Episode 3 has precious little going for it.And so, Episode 3 has precious little going for it. Where Episode 2 has the exciting Goro-rancor encounter to spice things up, Episode 3 goes back to the basic, repetitive combat that slowed Episode 1 to a crawl. After a quick moment where you direct droids to fire at targets by pointing your lightsaber (the payoff of Episode 2's ending), you almost immediately relinquish control of them and go back to battling wave after tedious wave of Storm Troopers. First they chase your moving skiff on small flying platforms to fire slow-moving blaster bolts at you, then it's pretty much the same thing except they run out onto catwalks to take their potshots.
Time and time again, you deflect their shots back or simply grab the poor saps with the Force and throw or drop them. You can Force-pull their blasters away and use them to shoot others, but the shooting is weirdly sloppy and imprecise (not to mention uncivilized). You get to throw the odd thermal detonator, but that's about it in terms of combat variety. It doesn't help that almost every time you do, Maya Rudolph's ZOE3 recites a repetitive line about how you got "those bucketheads." Once again, she's not given much to do. There's also a single, simplistic miniboss battle that you beat with the same deflecting of blaster fire you use to defeat basic Storm Troopers. The only enemy who ever gets close enough to you to hit with your lightsaber is Vader himself.
Beyond that, we get another iteration of the same lightsaber dojo survival challenge, which this time takes place in an outdoor area and integrates some Storm Troopers into the mix of enemy waves. There are a few new weapons and Force powers to use, and it does get fairly intense when enemies are all around you. It's definitely good that the dojo is here to give more life to Episode 3 than the story does, but at the same time it's not terribly different from the previous episodes and is very much "more of the same" as a result.
The Verdict
Vader Immortal Episode 3 finishes out the Star Wars VR series with a dull thud. If this weren't a Star Wars game it would be pretty unremarkable – the decent lightsaber-on-lightsaber combat is barely used this time, and using Force powers and weirdly unsatisfying blasters to knock down an endless parade of Storm Troopers gets old very quickly.

AUD/USD Forex Technical Analysis – Straddling Short-Term Pivot at .6749Based on Wednesday's price action and the close at .6748, the direction of the AUD/USD on Thursday is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the minor pivot at .6749.
The Australian Dollar finished lower on Wednesday after erasing all of the previous session's gains. On Tuesday, the currency attempted a short-term breakout to the upside after the Trump Administration announced it was delaying tariffs on some products from China. On Wednesday, the Aussie weakened on a plunge in demand for higher risk assets after a key U.S. Treasury yield indicator signaled a future recession.
On Thursday, the AUD/USD settled at .6748, down 0.0049 or -0.71%.
Traders are now waiting to hear from RBA Assistant Governor Debelle at 23:00 GMT, and the Australian Employment Change and Unemployment Rate reports at 01:30 GMT.
Daily Swing Chart Technical Analysis
The main trend is down according to the daily swing chart. However, momentum is trending slightly higher since the formation of the closing price reversal bottom at .6677 on August 7.
The main trend changes to up on a trade through .7082. A move through .6677 will signal a resumption of the downtrend.
The minor trend is also down. A trade through .6818 will change the minor trend to up. This will indicate a stronger shift in momentum to the upside. A trade through .6821 will reaffirm the minor trend.
The minor range is .6677 to .6821. Its 50% level or pivot at .6749 has been providing support for the AUD/USD for several days.
The short-term range is .7082 to .6677. If the minor trend changes to up then its retracement zone at .6880 to .6927 will become the primary upside target.
Daily Swing Chart Technical Forecast
Based on Wednesday's price action and the close at .6748, the direction of the AUD/USD on Thursday is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the minor pivot at .6749.
Bullish Scenario
A sustained move over .6749 will indicate the presence of buyers. If this move creates enough upside momentum then look for a potential rally into .6818 to .6821. Taking out .6821 could trigger an acceleration to the upside with the short-term 50% level at .6880 the next likely upside target.
Bearish Scenario
A sustained move under .6749 will signal the presence of sellers. Taking out the minor bottom at .6742 will indicate the selling is getting stronger. This could trigger an acceleration to the downside with the next target the minor bottom at .6677. The daily chart is wide open to the downside under this level.

Reilly July 06, 2017 – Customer Magazine Ringless voicemail technology is a way for businesses to contact consumers without interrupting them on their mobile phones. Also known in the CRM industry as voice drops, v-drops and direct drops, this technology allows businesses to leave messages on a consumer's voicemail box without ever ringing the phone. These calls don't show up on phone records or missed call lists, and consumers are not charged for the messages. Given these characteristics, certain industries, such as debt collection, have begun adopting this technology in earnest. But many others have been slow to embrace the technology given the uncertainty surrounding its coverage under federal telemarketing laws and how customers may react to these messages. Read the article here.


text: This is actually going to be a pretty short blog post. The reason I went full frame was for the visual perspective and depth of field control that I had with 35mm film and missed since converting to digital. It wasn't for the amazing low light performance, although that is pretty awesome, and it certainly wasn't so I could be a "cool kid" and have "fx" on the front of my camera. :-) Truth be told, if I hadn't shot 35mm film for over 20 years there is a good chance that I might not have gone with a new full frame camera. But I have missed that perspective and have been anxious to get back to it since converting to digital in 2007.

Tessa Dinnie – Contributing Writer
First of all, I would like to applaud [Natalie] for asking the Lasell community to learn from the mistakes that have been made, and start to make this campus safer for everyone, whether they are a student or a neighbor. I would also like to praise you for asking Lasell why the students did not hear a thing about the four forced sexual assaults that occurred in the 2013-2014 school year. Here's what I'm asking, why did it take so long for Lasell to make the students aware about an alleged sexual assault that happened on our small campus? What makes this one so special that we deserve an email and didn't hear a word about the others? Why did the media catch on to this tragedy?
While I am happy that the school is offering self-defense classes, both here and at Mount Ida, I am sad that we need to offer it. I believe it is high time that we start to teach everyone differently about sexual assault and how to prevent them from happening. We as a society, need to start teaching everyone, it is NEVER the survivor's fault, regardless of gender, that it is NEVER ok to do anything without someone's consent, that yes means yes. These are the steps that we, society and Lasell, need to take in order to make sure that sexual assaults don't happen to anyone, anywhere, regardless if they are sober or under the influence. The alleged sexual assault was an upsetting tragedy on campus, and I can't imagine the pain and suffering that the survivor must be going through. That is why we need to adjust our teachings, so that no student at Lasell, no student at any college has to feel like that.

Hi…love your blog btw. Just wondering…the treadmill…any cons to it? Is it stable when you run?
Thanks for any info…. 🙂
Hi Orion,
Yes it is stable when I run.
If there is any con I can think of, it would be that the incline is stable. but since it is for home use, I think it is fair enough that it is just a stable incline unlike the big treadmills that can incline up and down.
Maybe I should get one soon na no?
having an exercise machine inside the home is always an advantage, not just for you but the whole family 🙂

Security jumped on the guy right away, but regardless that's a big no no. A concert-goer caught the moment and posted it on Instagram, saying: "Some crazy town grabbed at Swifty Swift tonight! Jeez buddy, keep your hands to yourself ? Glad security was on him right away and of course Taylor carried on like a pro!"
You want to grab Taylor Swift? Only in your wildest dreams.

Police: Seat belts should be law, not 'right'
October 27, 2004
In 2000, Greeley voters thought they didn't need someone to tell them to wear seat belts.
Maybe the deaths of 80 people so far this year — the most in Weld County's history — will convince them otherwise.
That's the logic of Greeley police Chief Paul Branham, who wants the entire state to adopt a primary seat-belt law. Branham, along with other county officials, met Wednesday night to discuss the fatality epidemic on Weld County roads.
Branham pushed county officials to endorse primary seat-belt laws in their own towns and join him to lobby the state. Last year, 32 people –making up 56 percent of the year's traffic fatalities — were not wearing seat belts at the time of the deadly crashes on Weld roads. Data for this year is not yet available, said Weld County coroner's investigator Mark Ward.
"It's more important to save lives and prevent injuries than to have the 'right' to not wear a seat belt," Branham said.
The primary seat-belt law allows police to stop motorists for failing to buckle up. Under state law, motorists can be cited for not wearing a seat belt — but only if they are pulled over for another reason. The Greeley City Council passed the first primary seat-belt law in the state in 2000. But council members put it to a vote of the people when it was challenged by community members. The law was defeated in the election.

This time, Branham wants the ordinance to be put to a vote but plans to rally community members for support.
"Times have changed, and everyone is aware of the number of fatalities," he said. "We didn't have that in 2000."
Right now, Branham has his sights set on Greeley but hopes to get enough help to create a state primary seat-belt law. Twenty-three states have the law, and they generally show a 10 percent to 15 percent reduction in traffic fatalities, he said.
Capt. Paul Matzke of the Colorado State Patrol said he endorses the primary seat-belt law, especially throughout the state.
Greeley and county law enforcement officers don't have jurisdiction on highways such as Interstate 25, U.S. 34 and U.S. 85, so there would need to be a state law to force drivers on those roads to buckle up.
"It would help to get compliance from the people driving out of Greeley but the state as a whole would be better," Matzke said.
Saving lives
* Transfer West Nile virus prevention money to the Weld County Sheriff's Office to buy more cruisers and hire more traffic officers.
* Start a new traffic court that allows the county to structure its own speed limits, fines and points.
* Lobby state and local officials to endorse a primary seat-belt law. A meeting for those interested will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 17 in the Greeley City Council chambers, 919 7th St.

Reforming urban water: a national pathway for change
Urban water is a critical resource that we cannot afford to take for granted Australia's urban water sector provides an essential service to more than 20 million people and 9 million connected properties in our cities and towns. The sector has a strong track record of providing a range of high quality services to support our great way of life and to underpin economic activity.
Australians have rightly come to expect that their water will be clean, safe and available whenever they need it. For many, the only interaction we have with our water provider – beyond turning on taps and flushing toilets – is when we pay for services through our bills or council rates. Increasingly, we also expect our water services to meet a range of broader environmental outcomes in our growing towns and cities. Few give a second thought to the extensive, largely hidden water infrastructure systems required to deliver these services.
While some may take it for granted, urban water infrastructure is expensive to build and maintain, and faces a number of challenges over coming years. Much of the urban water infrastructure that has served us well in the past is ageing, or coming under increasing pressure from growing populations and a changing climate. Reform is required to ensure the sector can continue to provide safe, reliable and affordable services into the future.
Urban water should move from a sector where governments must balance roles as owner, regulator and policy-maker to a more sophisticated, well-regulated, responsive sector with stronger links between supply and demand, and clearer signals for efficient investment. This means re-shaping the urban water sector, including the range of institutions, regulatory frameworks and decision-making processes that govern them, to be more efficient, resilient, transparent and accountable.
Australia's governments and utilities have a distinct opportunity to plan and prepare for the challenges ahead in a way that will most effectively and efficiently meet the long-term needs of users. Delaying these actions means pressing concerns – such as a major drought or failing assets – could prevent clear thinking on effective, long-term solutions. Now is the time for reform.
This paper establishes a foundation and a pathway for reforming urban water. It: 1. provides the case for reform and the potential costs of inaction 2. establishes national objectives to guide reform and ensure the sector can meet future challenges 3. benchmarks each state and territory's urban water sector against minimum and best practice criteria 4. identifies a pathway with clear recommendations to guide reform efforts across the country.

I recently got a Brother NQ1400e machine. I used to have a PE 770 and I used the PE Design Lite. My aunt has lost my PE Design Lite and I need some other form of pulling in letters from bought fonts to make a name and set it up evenly with an Applique. I was told I needed some kind of software to do this. Would Embrillance work for this? Like I said, I don't need some fact $1,000 program. I just need something that will allow me to pull in each letter of whatever name I'm making from font packs I've purchased on various embroidery sites and have a grid to make sure they are even and in line and also allow me to pull in my Applique to line it up with the name and then once it's all set allows me to send it to my machine via jump drive or straight plug. Would this program do that for me? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Why Attorney Solicitation Will Hurt Your Case
Michigan law defines illegal attorney solicitation as, "a verbal or written offer, within 30 days of a car accident, to provide a service for a fee or other remuneration." Despite this law being enacted, there are still some law firms in Michigan that will illegally solicit auto accident victims. They will do this by purchasing police reports online and contacting the injured person directly, by showing up at hospitals to sign up the injured person, or even by ringing the door bell at the injured person's house.
These same law firms will try to hide behind an "agent" that will directly solicit the injured people. Agents that other law firms will use are medical facility employees, law enforcement employees, or even ordinary people. Whether it is a lawyer doing it or a non-lawyer doing it, IT IS ILLEGAL AND UNETHICAL.
If you are contacted by someone that you don't know right after an auto accident, do not speak with them. It can be detrimental to your case. If you retain a law firm that illegally solicits their clients, the auto insurance carrier will most likely "red flag" your matter and put your matter under investigation. This will delay payment on your claim or even worse, could result in a dismissal of your case if fraud is found. The last thing anyone wants after an auto accident is to rack up large medical bills and then be represented by an attorney that is known by the insurance companies to illegally solicit their clients.
If you think it doesn't matter that you were illegally solicited, wait until you are put under oath in a deposition and the first question asked by the insurance company's attorney is, "How did you get to this law firm?" What will your answer be? The insurance company's know the game. They know that people are illegally solicited every day and they know the law firms that do it. There really is no right answer at this point. If you say, "I was contacted by the law firm or an 'agent' of the law firm," your case is now going to be in a prolonged discovery phase as the insurance company's attorney discovers every player involved with the illegal solicitation. If you say something like, "I found this law firm in the yellow pages," you have now lied under oath and they know it. Either way, the value of your case can be destroyed.
If you are involved in an auto accident, choosing the right attorney is important for many reasons. Choosing one that does not illegally solicit to obtain their clients is vitally important.

Lettuce & Greens
Lettuce is one of the easiest vegetables to grow and does exceptionally well in our cool Maritime climate! To enjoy garden fresh salads from late spring to the end of autumn, plant several varieties and continue to seed every few weeks. Growing Tips: Lettuce is very hardy and may be planted as soon as the ground can be worked in early spring. Seed may also be sown indoors 4 to 5 weeks prior to planting. If direct seeding, sow seeds about 12 to 15 per foot, 3-5mm (1/8 – ¼") deep, spacing the rows 30-45cm (12-28") apart. To avoid overcrowding, ensure head lettuce is thinned early to 30cm (12") apart.View Products

Our children need to be exposed to law enforcement so they learn to feel safe to approach a police officer. A new "police in schools program" should be developed that is designed to keep our schools safe and help our children to build trust with our law enforcement personnel.

How the Writings Became Scripture
The New Testament was not written all at once. It was written
over a period of years. A great deal of the things Paul wrote is Scripture, but
not everything he wrote is (i.e. an earlier letter he had sent to Corinth; I
CORINTHIANS 5:9). Some of what he wrote never made it into the pages of the New
Testament. No doubt the same thing could be said about other writers of portions
of the New Testament. And other early Christians also wrote things of a
religious nature which never made it into the New Testament. And in fact, some
pretenders even wrote some things as if they were Paul,
Peter, Thomas, Andrew or some other notable disciple. So how did writings come
to be recognized as Scripture and when the New Testament was compiled wound up
being a part of it, while others failed the test? Who actually made the
decisions? Did they make it during the first century or much later? Did they
just guess or flip a coin? Of course not!
"But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy spirit spoke from God." (II PETER 1:20,21). What does the word "Scripture" mean? The Greek word (graphe) occurs about 50 times in the New Testament and always refers to the written record of the utterances of God. This includes writings that make up both the Old and New Testaments.
The English word "canon" (Greek: kanon) came to mean standard or
rule. When one speaks of the canon of Scripture he is referring to those
writings that met the standard and are regarded as being legitimate and
authoritative and therefore have been included in the Bible.
The Word Delivered
"For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you..." (I CORINTHIANS 11:23). The writers of the New Testament wrote by inspiration. They wrote things as given to them by direct revelation from God (II TIMOTHY 3:16,17). Scripture is not a result of guesswork but rather Divine plan and action. When one rejects the teachings of the Bible, he has rejected God Himself.
God told the writers of the Bible what to say and when to say it. Regarding the New Testament, there are actually eight human agents through whom Jesus revealed His New Covenant by the written word. They are Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, James, Peter and Jude. While God also revealed His will through the spoken word (through both apostles and prophets), He did not cause it all to be written down in permanent form. What He did cause to be written is adequate for our spiritual needs and guidance. It is complete, and is referred to as Scripture.
We now have a pretty good idea concerning the approximate dates
of writing for most of the New Testament. Refer to the chart on the back for
these dates and other information.
Instant Scripture
"And they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching..." (ACTS 2:42). These writings did not become Scripture because years later some scholars got together and decided to bestow that honor upon them. They were Scripture before the ink was dry. The writings were accepted as Scripture immediately by the church. There was no gradual evolving to it at all, as some liberal theologians suggest today. The only things gradual about it was the spread of the copies of the initial documents to the ancient world and later the compiling of the writings into one book. The apostle Paul quotes Luke's gospel in 65 A.D. and refers to it as Scripture (compare I TIMOTHY 5:18 with LUKE 10:7) and Peter refers to Paul's writings as Scripture (II PETER 3:16).
The liberal theologians try to diminish from the importance of
following the Bible today by saying these writings were regarded as just plain
letters by the church in the first century and that it wasn't until the second
and third century that they mistakenly became regarded as authoritative
Scripture. So,
we do not really have to obey the doctrines of the Bible, they say, as long as
we get the proper loving spirit and the general goodness it promotes. These
verses, and others, show that they are wrong, that these writings were regarded
as authoritative Scriptures of God from the time they were written.
Promise, Providence and Canonicity
"...But the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word which was preached to you." (I PETER 1:25). God was and is determined that His word will not be destroyed! It will never be overthrown or obliterated, though many dark forces have tried in the past and others continue to this day. During the first three centuries of the existence of the New Testament Scriptures, countless efforts were made by the enemies of God to eradicate Christianity from the earth. For example, Diocletian, emperor of Rome, decreed in 305 A.D. that all Christian literature be destroyed throughout the world. It was thought that if the Scriptures could be destroyed, then the new faith would fail. That is probably true, for there can be no faith apart from the word (ROMANS 10:17). But God would not permit it to happen. Only Divine intervention can explain why the most powerful and cruel civil, military and religious forces that the world could muster failed in their efforts, as did cultural and social pressures. Even opponents from within the church itself failed to corrupt the Scriptures which the Lord had given to His people.
When early Christians received a new Scripture from one of the
eight writers, they would make copies to send on to other Christians in other
localities, who in turn would do the same. In fact, they were told to follow
this procedure (see COLOSSIANS 4:16; I THESSALONIANS 5:27 for examples). These
writings were already being circulated and accepted as Scripture when early
Christians decided to gather them all into one compilation. This
compilation came to be known as the canon of Scripture. While it is true that
some tried to get other writings included, and a few others complained that they
did not want some included that were, the issue of what belonged in the Bible
had already been settled. Writings were refused a place that were not written by
either an apostle or someone approved by an apostle, since Jesus had promised to
reveal all His truth through these apostles. It was rather easy to tell
forgeries from the genuine, due to glaring mistakes and inconsistencies.
The history of the Bible certainly shows the care, on both God's part as well as the parts of faithful and courageous men and women, that went into its formation and preservation. "...we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God's message, you accepted it not as the word of men , but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you." (I THESSALONIANS 2:13).
