AquaClear Hang on back filters provide three way mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration. They are powerful and quite quiet. They also feature a flow control knob, perfect for feeding time.
This was my very first filter i ever purchased. I used the aquaclear 50 model on my 20gal high and was very pleased. It primes very easily, media is easily changed and it provides crystal clear water. I like the fact that you can add whatever media you want and the media basket removes easily. The one drawback is that when linking multiple intake tubes together for taller tanks, debris can get trapped where the two tubes meet.------------------------------40 Gallon Breeder Planted: harlequin rasbora rummynose tetra corydoras cherry barbs
40 Gallon Breeder Reef: In progress!
Great filter. Has a versatile basket for media, and is super convenient with ingenious design. 10/10.------------------------------Its Phillip, not Origami.

great product, been using it for 5 years and it still works fine. Allows you to mix up filtration media to your requirements.
highly recommend this product
Good hob filter probably the best on the market I have the ac110 and it it great------------------------------4ft mbuna mangaino and yellows
4ft rainbow tank
4ft planted community
16g nano planted shrimp and neon tetras
10g nano reef
I love this HOB! The only thing that I would change if I could would be the width, but this makes it easy to access so it evens out. Really does the job!------------------------------130g: 4 Angelfish, 2 Roseline Sharks, 12 Conga Tetras, 5 Kuhli Loaches, 1 Otocinslus, 1 Corydora
The ability to see the filtration media makes this product line especially great. Since the plastic body is a transparent smokey color it's possible to monitor the condition of the filter media. When I see that the foam is dirty, I simply clean it. Generally, the more room you have for filter media the better, so I picked the largest HOB that didn't look ridiculous on my tank. I ended up with an AC30 on my 10 gallon and mounted it on one side, not the back. I looked at a pair of AC70's for my 55 gallon before I decided to go with an Eheim canister. That tank will not have a background so I wanted to minimize the appearance of equipment. Overall, my AC HOB performs perfectly.------------------------------The family fish***The family tank***balt's Blog***Reviews ¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸>
Prolly the best HOB on the market. My AC50 is super quiet, but recent purchase of AC110 is noticeably louder from motor

Great for smaller tanks if you are not wanting to invest in a canister filter.------------------------------Increasing your biodiversity increases your stability.

For me this anti farming and DR mechanics is just a simple and bad solution for a complex problem. If they had an AI that was not so predictable and easy to beat, you would not have so many bots. But creating a great AI is expensive...
Likewise if there was enough content beside karma grinding, at high levels, people wouldnt be grinding it. But again, creating end game content is expensive...

The AI is not predictable as in Rift and other games. Also, the spawns seem really random (notice I said seems). The trick is, there are certain places spawns don't happen and that is what botting uses.

To busy playing GW2 to post much around here... *shrug*
This could happen to you if you're really farming an area, but if you're moving around, playing, roaming then I haven't seen much evidence of Diminishing Returns. Still it's possible it hits some people too soon, but it's probably to counter bots. If it is set to counter bots however, it would make sence to diminish the gold (or silver) reward the hardest, since this is what botters are after.

OK a couple of things:
1) I believe it is wrong putting any kind of restriction on Events.
Karma do not interest gold farmers, since the items you get are BoP (Bind on Pickup)
2) Having said that I have no problem in farming Events.
Actually, if you are clever, by moving from Event to Event you can farm Karma very fast, much faster than sitting on the same spot.
I can farm up to 10K Karma per hour from the same 5 Events which spawn minutes away from each other.
The DR system is designed to avoid sitting on the same spot the whole day like Bots do, it is not designed t stop genuine players to farm Events all day long if they wish to do so (like I do).
So IMO the DR system in GW2 is a non-issue.

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
The bots remain even after days and report upon report. The DR is affect legit players more then the bots.
Example: Last week I went to an area to farm blood vials. Took me maybe 90 mins (+/- 10 mins) but I had enough to craft all the items required for me to 1) wear and 2) boost my crafting to the next tier. I think I needed 48 blood (8 per item) and I ended up with 53 in that time frame. If I had 'insta-bought' on the TP, I would have spent 48 silver. So I saved myself (approx. 53 silver) some cash, picked up maybe 10-12 silver in random drops and maybe another 3 or 4 silver in blue crafting items I wasn't specifically looking for. Cal it 69 silver worth for 90 minutes and you get 33 silver per 30 mins.
Today I went back to get more blood vials so I could level up a 2nd craft. I was there for 30 mins. I had exactly 2 blood drops. Those were in the 1st 6-8 kills. After that, I had perhaps 5-7 grey (junk) items. Then nothing. 5-6 kills and a grey junk item. After the half hour I had maybe 12 grey items @ less than 1.5 silver, my 2 huge blood vial drops and a couple of white junk items , maybe 1 - 1.5 silver. At this point we're being generous at 5 silver. With the big kick in the pants being not enough mats to even craft a single item.
The devs have said this DR was not to stop bots. Which is good because it isn't. What it IS doing is forcing casual players to buy from the TP. We should not be told how/when/where to play to avoid the DR hammer. That said, if they told us what the threshold was - 8 mobs in 2 mins or perhaps 10 mobs in the field of vision of the character ( I am exaggerating a bit), or even what the bloodly lockout timer is the legit players could avoid the hammer.
If I am forced to go to the TP, I am done with crafting. I'll finish off my one 'main' and screw the rest. I am not going to waste my time zone jumping to kill 10 - 12 mobs before a lockout only to have to jump zones again to find a mob that drops that same mats, rinse and repeat.
I really like gW2 w but this is getting seriously cocked up :/

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?
For those who think Anet is just blowing the topic off and not bothering to respond and thereby waging war on its fanbase:
From Jon Peters (taken from the official forum thread on this topic):
We thought we should put in our 2 cents as well.
Guild Wars 2 is a game about freedom. We want you to be able to explore the world and engage in a huge variety of activities, focusing on whatever best suits your tastes.
Some players have run into "diminishing returns" thresholds we put into the game to provide a safety net against unanticipated economy-breaking issues. We do have these thresholds in place, but it's not our intention that normal players should ever run into them. We've recently had bugs and imbalances that have caused normal players to hit thresholds, and we'll fix those.
These systems are put in place to protect the economy from botters and exploiters. We will close exploits as quickly as we can. These thresholds help create a safety net to keep the economy safe when we aren't there to deal with the offender. It's important to have a safety net in place. It would be bad for everyone if, for example, a group of players learned how to speed-clear a dungeon in 5 minutes, with full rewards each time, and then repeated that continuously. When one activity emerges that's order of magnitudes more profitable than anything else in the game, it forces everyone to either engage in that activity or get priced out of the economy.
While we need a safety net to stop unanticipated economy-breaking exploits and botting, we have no desire to stop farming. Farmers are a part every online economy and when they are doing normal game activity they do not cause any harm. If a player finds a normal game activity fun and would like to keep doing it, that's fine with us.
Initially we have to rely on smaller data sets, instinct and some guesswork to find the correct cutoff. What this means is that some players are going to bump into the edges of these systems for a while as we get them sorted out. Please bear with us while we gather more data and lower the safety net until it's only providing critical economy protection. Looking at the numbers this morning, we believe some of the threshold systems are just too harsh empirically and we'll be adjusting those systems within the next few weeks to ensure that fewer legitimate players are being impacted.
I hope this helps to explain why a game like this needs systems such as this to protect its economy. I also hope it gives some insight into our philosophy about botters (BAD) and exploiters (BAD) vs. farmers (GOOD). Thanks for your support and we will see you in game.
Here's the entire thread. Jon's response is on page 5.
So, they are looking into it and are already planning on changing it. Patience people! Remember, the game is only a month old. And yes, broken things are really annoying, but I'm confident they are being addressed as quickly as possible.

Except that, there was a perception in the community that the DR was code was buggy. ANet went silent on us, then, earlier this week, admitted that the community was pretty much correct in it's perception. The code was indeed buggy.
The fan outrage exists because DR was implemented it's true, but also because the 'secret' way it was implemented, the fact that it was implemented poorly and that Anet went AWOL in communicating, which is VERY different from their MO. It left a LARGE amount of us feeling like we were being punished and we're TOC abiding 'good' players, so why are we being punished for playing legally and supporting Anet?

I agree. I'm still cheesed about the whole account security issue and the ham-handed responses to hacked accounts. I will continue to evangelize on the subject. TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION. Yes, WoW has bots and goldspammers but it does NOT have the amount that GW2 currently does and Blizz does a FAR better job dealing with it. Anet is fumbling the issue right now.
Originally posted by evolver1972
I see your point and I agree, the game is only just over a month old. I get it. However... the DR code has been in for quite some time now and his 'mea culpa' was THE FIRST official word on it. Had he spoken up sooner, I think the community would've been more forgiving.
Also, I'd like to point out that he admitted DR was implemented to deal with botting. This has been a contentious issue here and in other places (official forums, Reddit) where many people were quick to flame any suggestion that DR code was put in place to counter botting.

Since the rise of DR there are even more bots now in Orr than before. They are teleporting around, throwing off the waves of mobs, and plain being disruptive.
At the Shelter's gate waypoint in Orr on Tarnished Coast server there are, as of right now, 11 bots, 5 of which run around in circles all day, ALL DAY attacking spawn pops. On the northern waypoints there is another 4 more bots.
Before DR there were only 4 bots at most. Is DR working? In my opinion no, but it must exist for the sake of the economy and progression.
sidenote: I've been reporting the same 4 bots since the end of the first week of launch, they are still there now with more bots =/

While I see how DR on money can be implemented for fighting bots, I really can't see the point of karma DR. Everything you buy with it is account bound and I doubt bots are farming karma, since the way they work is highly inefficient for farming it anyway. Unless they plan to make it so you can convert karma to gold, I see no point in having a DR on it, especially considering you need close to 1 million probably if you want a legendary.

It also doesn't impact the economy, everything is account bound.

Happy Valentine's Day! Or not, depending on how you feel about the holiday. And listen, we know there are a lot of singletons out there who are not so pleased about how much we in the media focus on this holiday. But we can't help it, OK? We cover divorces and breakdowns and deaths and fights all the time, and it's really nice to have a day that's all about the important things in life. (No, not the unveiling of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, though that's nice too.) We just really want to escape from it all and look at Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez nuzzling each other. We would like to soak in the happiness that is Adam Lambert and Sauli Koskinen's love, bask in Jay-Z and Beyonce's adorable glory, shiver with delight at the perpetual hotness of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and marvel at the lasting power of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. We are hoping some of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's world-saving affection will rub off on us. And we're even going to allow for some admiration of Tom Brady and Gisele Bunchen, football loyalties aside.
But here's some good news for you black-hearted V-day haters: The last time we did a best couples gallery, back in December, one of those couples announced their divorce a few days later. Oh, no! What have we done?!?

The Cowboy Junkies visit Bend's Tower Theatre, and my colleague David Jasper spoke with bassist Alan Anton:
The band is promoting the new album "Renmin Park," the first in a series of four albums they're calling "The Nomad Series."
"This is what we're doing that's special," Anton said, referring to the band's 25 years together and the four-album cycle, to be released over an 18-month period.
In a statement on their website, www.latentrecordings.com, Cowboy Junkies explain that "for the first time in 20 years we are completely free of any recording contracts and obligations, we find ourselves writing and recording more than we have in years, our studio (The Clubhouse) feels more and more like home, the band now has 25 years under the hood and is sounding so darn good."
You can read the whole thing by clicking here.
Every year, I travel over to Portland for the big MusicfestNW extravaganza. This year, for the first time (that I know of), the festival's lineup included two Bend acts: Mosley Wotta and Sara Jackson-Holman. In this week's Feedback, I write about their performances and how the crowds seemed to like 'em.
Performing live is still a relatively new endeavor for the 21-year-old Jackson-Holman, and on stage, her nerves sometimes show.
But by the time she arrived at the cascading melody of "Into the Blue" and the bouncy "Cellophane" — backed by an effortlessly skilled three-piece band — she found a good groove that carried through the rest of her night, including a formidable cover of Death Cab for Cutie's "Transatlanticism."
Live, the songs were noticeably more sparse than their lush, slickly produced counterparts on "When You Dream," with the exception of the album's woozy, slow-burning title track, during which Jackson-Holman used unexpected percussion and a gadget that looped her voice to create the set's true "wow" moment.
Again, if you've seen Mosley Wotta, you probably know most of the songs he/they did: "Birthday Suit" and "Smoke" and "Smile Hater Smile," all the faves. There were some familiar faces in the crowd of 60ish — Graham's former DJ Mike "Mud" Graham and former Person People bassist Jordan Muller among them — but there were also lots of people I didn't recognize, and by the time MoWo finished his opener, "Licking Reason," most of them were smiling and bobbing their head to the beat.
From there, Graham kept reeling them in. "Boom For Real" is an undeniably great song, no matter your age; halfway through it, I turned and saw two white women in their 60s or 70s, dressed for a night at the opera, shaking their fists and chanting "boom … boom, boom!" to the chorus. Behind them, a 20-something black dude was doing the same thing. (The older women actually howled during "Smoke," too. It was hilarious.)
I hope you'll click here and read the whole thing.

Super Mario World speedrun hack takes up up down down left right left right B A to the next level January 14, 2014 at 9:47 am
Over the last week, Awesome Games Done Quick 2014 has raised over $1 million for charity by live streaming some of the world's best video game speedruns. While most of these speedruns were performed live and unassisted by dexterously gifted gamers, a select few were tool-assisted speedruns, or TAS for short. My favorite, by far, was a TAS by Masterjun that used an exact combination of acrobatic Yoshi moves to exploit Super Mario World on the SNES, allowing him to run arbitrary code that's uploaded to the console via its controller ports. Within moments of the "total control" exploit being executed, Super Mario World is replaced by a game of Pong that uses Mario's head as a ball. At this point, you should really watch the video below.

It just has that nuance of undertones that makes it interact with your skin tone in a way that actually works to highlight it.

Hey SS I had a thought - I remember someone, and I think it was Kevin_M4, who had a loose gas block on their Saiga conversion, and silver soldered it onto the barrel. That may be a quick-and-dirty way to help your loose gas block issue.
The fact that it bleeds gas around the port will definitely cause lower barrel velocity, obviously resulting in less energy to cycle the weapon.
Another thought, and I learned this from my MG42 build, and that is to degrease everything, use a sharpie or two and cover all the moving parts in black, and cycle the action by hand. The chafe marks are where rubbing is taking place, and in theory there should be very few places that rub. I found several areas that rub using this method. The areas were small, and I ignored them until I polished them one by one, and the net effect was a smoother action.
Hopefully this helps out. The piston size should still be considered as a to-do item, but if you do these things first it may not matter.

The West Virginia State Police recently answered a 911 call about a domestic situation with shots fired.
When they arrived at the residence in Omar, officers were met by the victim, Tommy Jobo. The criminal complaints says the victim told officers his brother-in-law, Michael Napier, the defendant, was intoxicated and started a verbal argument.
The verbal argument became a physical altercation and the defendant grabbed the victim by the throat. After a short struggle, the victim said the defendant grabbed a .22 rifle and went outside the residence, where he proceeded to yell and shoot the weapon several times over the house and into the hill behind the house.
After shooting the rifle, the report says the defendant got into his vehicle and fled the scene prior to the officers' arrival. While the officers were searching for the defendant, they learned he had returned to the victim's residence and fired multiple shots around it. The officers arrived at the victim's residence and were told the defendant was in the house behind the victim's.
Officers found the front door of the residence open and it appeared to them someone was inside. Upon approach of the residence, the officers came into contact with the defendant on the front porch.
The officers gave the defendant multiple commands, which he refused multiple times. The officers were able to restrain the defendant without further incident. When officers searched the residence, they found a .22 rifle in the back yard. The rifle matched the description of the weapon taken from the victim's residence.
Napier was charged with wanton endangerment, shooting within 500 feet of a dwelling, domestic battery, domestic assault and obstructing. Bond was set at $10,000.

We test the supermarkets' healthy credentials by getting them to devise one week of meals to benefit the active man. This month: Safeway Men are useless at shopping. When was the last time you went to the store knowing that the food you bought would supply three meals a day, plus snacks, for one week, comprising all the ingredients to keep you in great shape, for less than a tenner a day? Men's Fitness tasked the supermarkets with helping you out and this month Safeway takes up the challenge.
Claire Harrison, nutritionist at Safeway, says: The following menu plan acts as a guide to help you eat a healthy, balanced diet in combination with the right liquid clen dosage that you need. It is not designed as a weight loss plan and you may need more or less calories depending on your age, weight, activity levels and pills you take. Drinks are not included – aim to have around six to eight glasses of water a day. If you like fizzy drinks or squash, go for low-calorie versions. The occasional alcoholic beverage can be taken as part of a balanced diet and have been included.
The menu plan has been designed to provide you with around 2,500 calories, which is the daily requirement for an average adult man that is on clen cutting cycle. The amount of fat per day ranges from 65-98g, which averages over the week at 75g and is less than the recommended daily intake of 95g. The majority of the calories are provided by carbohydrates, such as bread, potatoes and cereal.
The menu planner also includes five portions of fruit and veg each day. It is important to eat as wide a variety as possible to ensure you get a good mixture of vitamins and minerals. It doesn't have to be fresh – canned, frozen and dried all count.
Also included in the menu are two portions of oily fish: salmon and mackerel. Oily fish contains essential fatty acids known as omega-3s, which are important for maintaining a healthy heart.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and you shouldn't leave the house without it as it kick-starts your metabolism and provides better results in combination with clenbuterol. If you miss breakfast you tend to reach for sugary snacks mid morning when your energy levels start to flag. Cereals are a good way to start the day as they are an important source of many nutrients. A glass of fruit juice in the morning contributes towards your five portions a day and provides a vitamin C boost.
Snacks are included in the menu plan to boost energy levels in between main meals. Fruit, teacakes, pancakes and reduced-fat digestive biscuits all make the list because they provide variety without adding too much fat. Chocolate and crisps are also included as snacks but try not to eat too many of these.
The key to a healthy diet is eating a variety of foods, which this menu clenbuterol planner encourages you to do. There are no 'good' and 'bad' foods and restricting foods from your diet can limit your intake of important vitamins and minerals.

Thunder in the Vicinity

To the Editor and Mr. Hird:
Whether you know me or not, is neither here nor there. We agree to disagree about whose responsible for personal items brought to school from home. However, I do agree with you on the amount of time and nurturing other people devote to their children -- not enough for sure. But we can't change other parents' parenting skills, unfortunately! I believe some people shouldn't be able to procreate to be honest with you!
As unfortunate as that may be, kids really haven't changed in the 15 years since I went to Harwood, or my parents who also went to Harwood 34 years ago. Kids steal things. They could be a bad kid with excellent parents, a good kid with bad parents, a good kid with great parents, a kid that is considered an elite student, a kid on drugs or a kid who hasn't touched the stuff, a kid whose parents are poor, a kid whose parents who are very comfortable and can afford to buy their children anything they want, or even a kid who works a full-time or part-time job. Sometimes they just do it because they can -- because they want what they don't have. Is it right? No, of course not.
What can we do? Kids in the school know that there is stealing going on! Every day I get an email from the school and on the bottom under LOST/FOUND -- five iPods are missing. Every week there is at least one or two. Our kids know that this is going on. I say again, don't bring them to school.
I'm only going to go as far as to say about your philosophy of my adult reasoning, which most of what you interpreted was way off base and downright ridiculous. You can bet your last dollar that I would know if my son came home with an iPod or had extra cash that I know he didn't have before. And you can bet your behind that my son would be marched back to that school to return it to its rightful owner. Furthermore, he would have ramifications back here at home, ramifications that a lot of parents need to take a class on how to discipline their kids. How to take responsibility for their actions. How to step up and pay the piper. Take their punishment, and parents hope they've learned something. I guess all we can do is hope our own child turns out to be a genuinely nice person who will look out for their own child, as you and I are doing.
So, Mr. Hird, it's been fun, but it hasn't been great fun....Thanks for the debate.

A University of Central Florida spokesman says it appeared that a student who committed suicide there planned an attack on campus.
Spokesman Grant Heston says that materials found in the dorm room made it appear that a wider attack was planned.
Police say he pulled a gun on another student, who then called police.
Heston says the university was in the process of removing the 30-year-old student from the dorm before Monday. Campus Police Chief Richard Beary say four makeshift explosive devices were found in a back pack. Beary says he believes that the dead student pulled a fire alarm in the dorm to get other students out in the open for an attack.
The student was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound with guns and the explosives.

Suspect flees scene in alleged burglary
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office is investigating a burglary on Bettis Academy Road on Sunday, during which the homeowner's dog apparently scared off the burglar.
The incident happened at about 1:45 p.m., according to a sheriff's report.
The victim said he heard a loud banging noise coming from his garage, and, when he approached the front of the garage, his dog ran in through the door, which had been forced open, according to the report.
After the dog ran in, the victim said he saw an unknown man run out of the garage and cross Bettis Academy Road into a wooded area, according to the report.
The suspect was described as a black male, about 5 foot 9 and 170 pounds and between 35 and 45 years old. He reportedly had several scars on his cheeks.
The suspect reportedly used bolt cutters to break the lock off the garage door.
Alleged carjacking in Bath investigated
The Sheriff's Office is investigating an alleged carjacking that happened in Bath on Saturday.
The victim told officers that he and another man were in his car, stopped at the corner of Lee Drive and Anthony Drive, when two men walked up and pulled them out of the vehicle at gunpoint, according to a sheriff's report.
The two suspects reportedly struck the victim in his back and the second victim in the chin, according to the report. They then took off in the vehicle.
The victim walked down Augusta Road, where he said he found his vehicle abandoned on Dixie Clay Road, according to the report.
The victims were unable to provide further information about the suspects, and the officer wrote in the report that they were also uncooperative and had conflicting stories.
Man detained after driving recklessly
A 22-year-old Lexington man was detained for driving under the influence after an officer pulled him over for driving recklessly while leaving the Aiken Trials on Saturday, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
An officer saw a green Jeep Grand Cherokee accelerate at a high rate of speed, skidding back and forth while leaving the Aiken Training Track, according to the report. The officer stopped the vehicle as it approached Audubon Drive.
After the car stopped, a passenger reached out of a window and poured some liquid from a cup, according to the report. The officer reported smelling a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle.
As the driver, Kolby Jumper of North Wrenwood Street in Lexington, exited the vehicle, the officer reported he had slurred speech, was unsteady on his feet and smelled strongly of alcohol, according to the report. Jumper was detained after failing multiple field sobriety tests.
A passenger in the vehicle was later found to be the person dumping the cup out the window, according to the report. The cup was tested with an alcohol sensor that indicated the presence of ethanol in the cup.
The passenger was issued a summons for open container of liquor. A breath test at Public Safety headquarters registered a blood-alcohol content of .16 for Jumper, according to the report.

You have three sentences to tell a person that has never heard about Compassion what it is we do, what we we're about and how we're different.
Can you?
What do you say?
That's your Compassion elevator speech.
You have three sentences to tell a person that has never heard about Compassion what it is we do, what we we're about and how we're different.
Can you?
What do you say?
That's your Compassion elevator speech.
It's too early in the morning for me to tax my brain, but this is my short intro' to Compassion:
Compassion International is a Christian child development organization working primarily through individual child sponsorships to release children from poverty in Jesus' name.
I'm eager to hear what other people say!
Aw gees, you are making my head hurt! It's too early in the morning for this! The dog ate my homework?…alright, enough excuses…here goes.
Compassion International is a child development ministry whose goal is to release children from poverty in Jesus' name. They minister to children holistically, making sure their physical needs (food, clothes, health) eduactional needs (help with school) and spiritual needs (introducing them to Jesus) are met. The unique thing about Compassion is the special one-to-one approach they take, meaning that you as a sponsor get to have a real connection with a real child, writing letters and even visiting your child if you would like.
Ok, so my 3 sentences are up. The only thing I add when I share with someone about Compassion is their integrity, which I share that over 80% of the sponsors money goes directly to the program, and that they can check out Compassion on charitynavigator.org.
Is that what you were looking for?
Compassion International is a Christian child development ministry working to release children from poverty through individual child sponsorship. It is unique in that, although American based, Compassion works through the local church with native staff in each country. Children do not receive money directly from Compassion, but by being enrolled in Compassion's programs, children are equipped for the future by having their core needs met (physical, economic, social and spiritual).
Or something like that…..
I laughed when I read this. Mainly because I sat the other day trying to tell my blog readers about Compassion. I wanted to keep it short, but there were so many things I wanted to say. 847 later, I was finally finished writing it. Hopefully, someone took the time to read it.
In three sentences…..
Compassion International is an organization that's ultimate goal is to release children from all over the world from poverty in Jesus' name. Through a one-on-one sponsorship, they recieve food, healthcare, education, and have an oppurtunity to learn about Jesus and his mighty love for everyone. Sponsors are able to encourage their child through letters and the ability to visit them-which teaches that that child they are someone and that Jesus' love is real.
Okay, that was hard! I think maybe my last sentence was a runon.
9 words… "Anybody in here want to save a kids life?"
My 2 follow up sentences are:
1) "No really, I'm serious."
2) "Inhale, release…every time you exhale a child living in poverty takes his last breath."
*Hopefully by this time you have at least one person's attention.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
I sometimes use a similar approach as Dave. I might say something like, when someone asks what I do: "I found a way that I can truly help children in poverty." The sentence will create a question in someone's mind. Then they start asking me more questions and I almost make people discover Compassion.
Here goes something:
We are a ministry called by God and by choice to give children a start in life by releasing them from the oppressive grip that poverty has on them. We want to fill these children with the grace response that they do matter to us and to God. We are unique as Christ was unique in that we deal with one child's cares at a time – and through these small rain drops – we make an ocean of a difference.
We love God. God says to help the poor. That's what we do.
Two variations of a common theme:
Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty, and equips them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults. Today, Compassion International helps over one-million children in 25 developing countries, connecting children in need with sponsors in a one-to-one relationship… one child… to one sponsor. Through the local Christian church, sponsored children are provided educational assistance, basic medical care, social development skills, and the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that equips children with skills they need so they may have a quality and sustainable livelihood, and enables them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults. Today Compassion International serves over one-million children in developing countries, connecting children in need with sponsors in a one-to-one relationship… one child… to one sponsor. Compassion's sponsored children participate in a church-led program where they receive life-changing benefits that include educational assistance, basic medical care, nutritional support, and—most importantly—the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Love it Becky…nice and simple!!!
I also really like Compassion Dave's approach…
Compassion is more than feeling sorry for someone. It is letting God move your heart to actively try to alleviate (someday eliminate)suffering. Compassion is my offering of God's money multiplied to reach a broken world.
We have some good pitches here.
Which do you think are most effective? The most informative?
Which would get you to do something – anything – other than breathe a sigh of relief when the elevator doors open?
It's sad to say, but if you don't grab someone's attention in the first 10 seconds, regardless if it is in an elevator or a cathedral, you spend the rest of your time and effort playing catch-up. While that might sound somewhat gimmicky, it doesn't negate the truth.
Therefore, it is necessary to captivate our audiences with a phrase or activity that leaves them wanting more — in this case the 'more' is 'information'.
I had a Compassion event this past weekend and I tried something very different, at least it was different for me, and I believe more children (than average) were sponsored as a result.
Instead of asking…
"Would you like to sponsor a Compassion child?"
to the folks walking by our table, I instead did NOT ask a question, but made a statement…
"Please sponsor a Compassion child."
It was a subtle difference, but MORE people stopped and chatted with me (and I believe) MORE people sponsored children. The thought process behind this personal change was, if I were asking a stranger to save MY child's life, would I politely ask, "Would you like to help," or would my simple plea be, "Please help."
I know I would be more direct if it were my own, therefore it is only right (as an advocate for these voiceless children) that I plea for them as if they were my own.
Compassion Dave – That's awesome. As the help children need becomes more real everyday to my slow-moving mind, the ownership of the children's needs grow.
I agree, asking for help is a good step, but a simple plea is far more honest to my desire. Thanks for commenting.
I've got a couple:
Compassion works with the church to give kids an education, healthcare, social skills and teach them about Jesus.
Even simpler:
Compassion works with the church to help kids meet the eternal solution to poverty–Jesus Christ.
Compassion is a child sponsorhip program that focuses on lifting children out of poverty one by one through interaction with local churches. What makes them different is they work together with local churches so the child has a solid foundation and support structure while growing in Christ. They have also received Charity Navigator's highest rating for 8 years in a row proving that they are who they say they are and are not just out to scam people out of their money.
Those are my three sentences. Usually if they express more interest, I tell them about my kids, including showing pictures and letters as I usually have their latest letter with me (so I can write replies on my lunch hours) and I always have their photos in my wallet.
Ok i should be able to do this lol. I'm an advocate. Here i go:
Compassion International is a Christian child sponsership organization. Compassion Is different from st child sponsership organizations because you have a personal relationship with your child through letters and pictures, most of the money goes directly to your child, and your helping your child with spiritual needs not just phisical needs. Compassion will not only change not only the life of a child but your life as well for just $38 a month.
thats 3 I did it!!!
Give a hopeless child true hope. Give a poverty stricken child true love. Give a lost child Jesus Christ.
We are the world's leading Christian child development organization. We are committed to releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name through wholistic interventions implemented exclusively through local churches. It is our desire to facilitate mutually upbuilding relationships between needy children and their sponsors, and to introduce children to the eternal solution to poverty, Jesus Christ.
Have you ever seen a miracle?
Compassion International, through sponsors around the world, giving a "cup of cold water" in the Name of Jesus, have provided the physical & spiritual hope to otherwise, forgotten children.
Jesus turned the water into wine, the young boy's lunch into a feast, whatever gift we put into His Hands, He will meet the need!
In 3 sentences??? I'll have to work on that!!! I just put a 'blurb' in our church bulletin about Compassion. It was 10 sentences!! And I STILL felt like I left stuff out!!! LOL!!! Yeah, it was a bit wordy. I definitely will be looking forward to reading what people come up with here, so I can sum it up more easily for people….

A good way to spend the afternoon can be at one of the book shops where one might just find a rare first edition amongst the shelves.

In my opinion, demanding something that you haven't earned (an immediate shot at the lhw belt), is something more akin to a 16 year old than anything Jon Jones said.
In my opinion, demanding something that you haven't earned (an immediate shot at the lhw belt), is something more akin to a 16 year old than anything Jon Jones said.
"To be truly walking on the warrior's path, we have to bring our minds back to the time when we were not ashamed of our dreams; when reality had not yet frustrated our ambitions; when our desire was still too strong to be repressed, and our spirit refused to surrender in resignation; when we were not yet doctors, businessmen, or lawyers, but still wanted to be heroes, leaders, bodhisattvas. The first step on the way to being warriors is to get back in touch with our dreams."
You can win 4 or 5 fights in a row and you will not be even close to a title shot, however you can have 0 wins, do some cheap trash talk and get the shot.
Cormier has 0 wins at LHW, but at least he has wins over 3 big names in the HW division, and now he is talking some shit too.
Obviously he will get his shot.
BTW Dana loves when 2 guys pretend to "genuinely hate eachother" LOL
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
You're a complete idiot if you really think Cormier has zero chance. Anyway, for some reason I think if this fight were to happen Jones would probably try clinching similar to Sonnen just to not let DC use any offensive wrestling.
I can't wait for Jones to move to hw, so when he gets embarrassed fighting ppl his size we can see how many ppl hop off his nuts lol.
I don't care if Cormier drops to face Jones or Jones moves up in the future, I would love to see this fight.

Cormier: Jones is 'petty', we will fight someday
"I think it's part of the game," Cormier said when asked if he thinks Jones was serious about what he said, as opposed to trying to build up a fight. "I never came out and said I'm the most ripped guy in MMA. I'm not. I haven't cut weight in years. I haven't tried to cut weight in years. I haven't tried to diet in years. I clean up a little in training camp, but I've never tried to be the most ripped guy, so that kind of stuff doesn't bother me. I just don't like him saying I don't want to work hard. He hasn't spent a day in the gym with me. He doesn't know my schedule. I know I'm training. It takes a big statement to say that about someone who has accomplished what I've accomplished. You don't just come out of Louisiana, where there is no wrestling, to become a two-time Olympian in wrestling."
"It's almost shocking that someone in his position could be so petty," said Cormier. "It was almost like, wow, we're adults.
"Three points I want to make here. First, Twitter followers. He made mention of that two times in that statement. I don't understand what that plays into an actual fight. It makes no sense in a fight. Two, how would you like to be Jon Jones' friend? He says Frank Mir is his friend. He said I was terrible in the fight, and I beat his friend. What are you saying about your friend? Third, it's petty. Answer the question and get through with it. He never completely answered the question. Do you want to fight me or do you not want to fight me?"
Jones also has a fight coming up, on Sept. 21 in Toronto, defending his light heavyweight title against Alexander Gustafsson.
"The truth is we're going to fight at some point," Cormier said about Jones. "We have fights to get through first. Then all those things are going to have to be answered. Jon Jones can say he doesn't know if I'm in the top of my division, but that's a lie. That's a bold-faced lie. It's an obvious lie because he knows how many Twitter followers I have. It's contradictory.
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Even with the physique that jones criticized, I've never seen do even come close to gassing. Furthermore, coming from the same camp as Cain and even being cain's trainer, I'm pretty sure his tank is deep.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Is Bones becoming the forums new Rampage? I aint posting much but from what I read thats the vibe I be getting.
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.

This is Page 4 of a six-page overview of marshmallows. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
Marshmallows take practice and patience, and they are messy. I also cannot get my homemade marshmallows to keep for as long as any that are commercially made, and experimenting with flavors can be time-consuming. Just like fine chocolatiers, whatever the best artisan marshmallowtiers (if we may coin a word) charge for their wares is worth it.
Enjoy s'mores indoors. No campfire is needed, just an oven.

A North Augusta woman was robbed at gunpoint as she was getting out of her vehicle at her home on Tuesday night, according to the North Augusta Department of Public Safety.
The incident happened just after 11 p.m. at Cameron Cove Apartments on Five Notch Road, according to a report. The 50-year-old victim told officers two unknown men ran up to her as she got out of her vehicle, pointed silver handguns at her, and took her purse off her arm.
The victim said it sounded like one of the suspects stated, "Give me your purse," but added that it was muffled under the mask he was wearing, according to the report. She said she then fell into her vehicle and closed her eyes "because she was in fear for her life."
The victim said when she looked up, she saw the two men running toward the woods, according to the report. The report did not indicate any injuries to the victim but said she was crying and frantic and "distraught with fear."
The suspects are described as black males wearing gloves and white masks, according to the report. One man is between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10, average build, wearing a grey sweat shirt and dark shorts. The second man was tall and slender, wearing dark clothing. Both suspects appeared to be in their early to mid-20s, according to the report.
Officers set up a perimeter and called in the bloodhounds with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office; however, they were unable to locate the suspects.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at 888-CRIME-SC.

Rogne is out of contract at Celtic after turning down a new deal with the Scottish champions.
The 22-year-old Norway international started just eight SPL games for Celtic last season and he admitted he might have to leave in search of regular first-team football.
Wigan boss Owen Coyle is in the market for defensive reinforcements, after seeing Maynor Figueroa leave the club and with Antolin Alcaraz expected to depart this summer.
If Rogne comes through his medical without any problems, he is likely to become Coyle's second signing of the summer following the arrival of Chris McCann on a free transfer from Burnley.

Though the average annual temperature in South Carolina was almost 10 degrees higher than the national average set in 2012, making it the "hottest" year to date in the United States., it wasn't the warmest for the Palmetto State.
According to The Associated Press, the average annual temperature in the U.S. was 55.32 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a full degree warmer than the record set in 1998.
Widespread drought and a very mild winter were reasons cited for the increased temperatures, the AP reported.
In South Carolina, the preliminary state average temperature for 2012 was 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Assistant State Climatologist Wes Tyler. The state record is an average of 65.1 degrees set in 1925.
"There's a lot of contributing factors – tropical activity or the lack of, jet stream placement, pressure patterns, rain fall, lack of rain fall, cloudiness," Tyler said. "Everything weighs into it."
While the rest of the country was suffering from what many considered a heat wave in 2012, the CSRA was 1.1 degree below the average during the hottest months of the year from June to August, Tyler said. The Aiken Municipal Airport even experienced a date record low of 59 degrees on the morning of June 27.
The CSRA saw a lot more rain during the summer months, too, which helped keep excessively hot temperatures at bay. In 2012, the area saw a total of 16.30 inches from June to August. A total of 12.28 inches of precipitation occurred in August alone. The long-term average for the summer months is 12.88 in the CSRA, Tyler said.
In 2011, it was a different story. That summer, the CSRA experienced an average 3.8 degrees above the average temperatures from June to August. Due to drought and other factors, the Aiken area was hit by a brutally dry, hot summer and only saw 7.19 inches of rain from June to August.
"You get that when you have a real desert-like air mass," Tyler said. "That was the kind of situation we were in that period."
Though South Carolina didn't really experience anything too out of the norm in 2012, scientists find themselves stunned with the one degree increase in the national annual average, the AP reports, stating that records are typically broken by only a tenth of a degree or so.

The Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority's (PAHSMA's) success in the 2012 Tasmanian Tourism Awards has been a highlight of a difficult but productive period.
In the 2011-12 financial year PAHSMA had some major achievements, despite a difficult time for the tourism industry and general financial uncertainty.
Visitor numbers at Port Arthur fell slightly, as did overall visitors to Tasmania. Nationally, the market environment continued to be very challenging, with lower consumer confidence many consumers prefer to save than spend and the high Australian dollar making overseas travel more affordable. However, growth from China continued to rise and a record number of cruise ships visited Port Arthur's deep water anchorage, with eight vessels between October and March.
As a result of the downturn in visitor numbers, PAHSMA revised its 2011-12 budget and implemented various saving strategies. These impacted on both staff and some conservation and infrastructure programs which have been reduced or deferred. Notwithstanding these challenges, an impressive range of tourism and conservation activities have been accomplished.
Early in 2012, a range of new tourism experiences were launched, including Her Story at the Cascades Female Factory, group guided tours of the Coal Mines, Paranormal Investigation Experience and private dining experiences at the Visiting Magistrates House.
Much has been achieved at the Cascades Female Factory, with the Site now open seven days a week, a number of the volunteers transitioning into PAHSMA employees, further recruitment of more volunteers, some substantial work completed in Yard 4 and a greater alignment to the way PAHSMA operates from a conservation, tourism and administration perspective.
The Authority was successful in sourcing additional grant funding from the Commonwealth Government for a major interpretative project in Yard 1, together with completing Yard 4, the outcome of which will provide a much greater understanding for visitors of how the Site worked during the convict period.
At Port Arthur, the Penitentiary has become a key focus with a major conservation project being developed. PAHSMA was very grateful to receive additional funding from the Tasmanian Government during the financial year to assist with this undertaking. The task of sourcing further funds over the next few years for the work required on arguably Australia's most significant iconic heritage building will be a major challenge for the organisation.
A Conservation Management Plan for the World War 1 Memorial Avenue was completed with significant input from various stakeholders, and a walkway between the trees erected providing added protection and better access for visitors to this significant area of the Site.
PAHSMA's Community Advisory Committee continued to make a sound contribution to the Site with this group taking a leading role with both the Annual Boxing Day wood chopping event and the Port Arthur Memories Revisited weekend held in October 2012.
PAHSMA Chairman, Dr Barry Jones, praised the PAHSMA Board and staff for its results in what has been undeniably a difficult year.
"Despite the problems, the conservation work and tourism activities undertaken by the Authority continue to ensure all the organisation's obligations have been met in exemplary fashion," said Dr Jones.
"The Sites continue to be protected and promoted to visitors in keeping with international best-practice, to meet its obligations in running three World Heritage properties, Port Arthur itself, the Coal Mines at Saltwater River, and the Cascades Female Factory Historic Site."
"Port Arthur's awards for Best Major Attraction and Best Heritage Tourism, as well as Best New Tourism Development, are testament to the focus and hard work of the entire team."
PAHSMA's annual report has been tabled in Parliament.

Hi! I am new to the board and new to this baby making stuff.
I am 38 years old and this is my first pregnancy. I had gained a lot of weight over the last year due to undiagnosed hypothyroidism. Within two weeks of starting my synthroid, I got pregnant, so I never got a chance to lose the weight.
Before the pregnancy, my bp had started to creep up as I packed on the pounds but it was in the high 130's/ high 70's.
It maintained itself throughout the first few weeks of the pregnancy and then started creeping up little by little.
I was placed on Labetelol around the 20th week, maybe a little sooner and it went down to around 117/69 ish for a good 8 weeks.
From the 30th week on it has slowly started to creep back up and my MD has made me come in for weekly checks and 2-24 hour urine test. 24 hour urines have been in the 250's.
On Thursday I was in for my routine visit and I was admitted to L&D with talk of stroke prevention. I still don't know my BP because I was sent to L&D so quickly. All my lab work came back normal and my 24 hour urine came back at 280.
They doubled my Labetelol and my bp has been maintaining in the normal range. I am on bed rest and feeling much better.
My question is: Is it normal in PIH for Labetelol to maintain for a certain amount of time and then have to be increased? Is my bp rising because of my body weight and blood volume increasing?
Is this just the beginning of PE and it will just be a waiting game as to how long we can keep this baby in here?
The good news is that my MD is taking this very seriously and has me coming back in for weekly visits.
