Driver Education
Your Guide to Rolla Missouri Driver's Licensing Procedures
On behalf of the State of Rolla Missouri, we're delighted that you have chosen to start the process of applying for your Rolla Missouri learner's permit or first Rolla Missouri driver's license. There are a few things you need to know about Rolla Missouri's Graduated Driver license Program for Rolla Missouri teen drivers, to make sure that your experience getting your Rolla Missouri driver's license goes as smoothly as possible. So, what are we waiting for?
The Rolla Missouri Instructional Permit and Rolla Missouri learner's Permit
Beginning the adventure of learning to drive can be both exciting and nerve-racking. The following tips can help you stay on track. When you turn 15, you can apply for a Rolla Missouri learner's Permit. This license allows you to practice driving provided there's a parent, guardian, or driving instructor with you (but when you turn 16, you can also practice with a licensed driver who is 21). It is valid for 12 months, and can be renewed once.
To apply for a Rolla Missouri learner's permit you'll need the following:
Bring these materials to your local Rolla Missouri Driver Examination Station. Then you'll have to pass the required road sign, vision, and written tests. Your reward for surviving this far is a Rolla Missouri learner's permit!
A few more things to keep in mind: all passengers must wear seatbelts, and you must carry your Rolla Missouri Instruction Permit with you at all times. After you've had your Rolla Missouri learner's permit for 182 days, you'll be ready for the next step in the Rolla Missouri Graduated License Program.
The Rolla Missouri Provisional License and Rolla Missouri Full License
The next stage is the Rolla Missouri provisional license. In order to apply, you'll need to make sure you've satisfied a few Rolla Missouri State requirements before heading down to the nearest Rolla Missouri Driver Examination Station:
If you've satisfied these requirements, head to the nearest Rolla Missouri Driver Service Center, where you'll pay the required fee and submit your Rolla Missouri intermediate License application. If it's been more than one year since you took the required vision, road sign, and written tests, you'll have to take them again. Once you get this far, all that's left is the dreaded road test. If you pass, then congratulations! You've just earned your Rolla Missouri intermediate driver license.
Rolla Missouri Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
Before you can be granted a full driver's license, you must show that you're able to drive responsibly with certain restrictions. Briefly, these are:
Once you've driven without any alcohol-related convictions or traffic violations for 12 months, you can receive your Rolla Missouri under-21 full driver license. You know the drill--just bring $10 to your local Rolla Missouri Driver License Station. And congrats again!
Rolla Missouri Auto Insurance Rolla Missouri Financial Responsibility Laws
Don't think you're ready to drive just because you now have a Rolla Missouri driver's license. You still must obtain liability insurance for your vehicle.
The minimum liability insurance coverage is:
Driving without Rolla Missouri mandatory liability insurance carries a risk that your Rolla Missouri learner's permit or Rolla Missouri intermediate license could be suspended and you could be fined.
Rolla Missouri Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws
Knowing the Rolla Missouri drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws is necessary to ensure the safety of drivers and their passengers. This is especially true for a newer driver like yourself.
DUI Laws. Like most states, Rolla Missouri has a Zero Tolerance Law for underage drinking, and if you are convicted of a Rolla Missouri DUI or Rolla Missouri DWI, you face penalties in addition to those listed below.
Upon your first conviction of a Rolla Missouri DUI, you'll face the following penalties:
We would hope you'd learn your lesson the first time, but further Rolla Missouri DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Rolla Missouri license suspension or even license revocation.
Cell Phone Use. Studies consistently show that cell phone use and driving are a dangerous combination. Currently, Rolla Missouri teen drivers are prohibited from using cell phones to text message while driving.

U.S. officials say arms shipped to supply Syrian rebel groups are going to hard-line Islamic fighters, and not the more secular opposition groups that the West wants to bolster
WASHINGTON — Most of the arms shipped at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to supply Syrian rebel groups fighting the government of Bashar Assad are going to hard-line Islamic jihadists, and not the more secular opposition groups that the West wants to bolster, according to U.S. officials and Middle Eastern diplomats.
That conclusion, which President Obama and other senior officials have been briefed about in classified assessments of the Syrian conflict that has now claimed more than 25,000 lives, casts into doubt whether the White House's strategy of minimal and indirect intervention in the Syrian conflict is accomplishing its intended purpose of helping a democratic-minded opposition topple an oppressive government.
"The opposition groups that are receiving most of the lethal aid are exactly the ones we don't want to have it," said one U.S. official familiar with the outlines of those findings, commenting on an operation that in American eyes has increasingly gone awry.
The United States is not sending arms directly to the Syrian opposition. Instead, it is providing intelligence and other support for shipments of secondhand light weapons like rifles and grenades into Syria, mainly orchestrated from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The reports indicate the shipments organized from Qatar, in particular, are largely going to hard-line Islamists.

The assessment of the arms flows comes at a crucial time for Obama, in the closing weeks of the election campaign with two debates looming that will focus on his foreign-policy record. But it also calls into question the Syria strategy laid out by Mitt Romney, his Republican challenger.
In a speech at the Virginia Military Institute last Monday, Romney said he would ensure that rebel groups "who share our values" would "obtain the arms they need to defeat Assad's tanks, helicopters and fighter jets." That suggests he would approve the transfer of weapons like anti-aircraft and antitank systems that are much more potent than any the United States has been willing to put into rebel hands so far, precisely because U.S. officials cannot be certain who ultimately will be using them.
But Romney stopped short of saying that he would have the United States provide those arms directly, and his aides said he, instead, would rely on Arab allies to do it. That would leave him, like Obama, with little direct control over the distribution of the arms.
U.S. officials have been trying to understand why hard-line Islamists have received the lion's share of the arms shipped to the Syrian opposition through the shadowy pipeline with roots in Qatar, and, to a lesser degree, Saudi Arabia. The officials, voicing frustration, say there is no central clearinghouse for the shipments and no effective way of vetting the groups that ultimately receive them.
Those problems were central concerns for the director of the CIA, David Petraeus, when he traveled secretly to Turkey last month, officials said. Officials of countries in the region say Petraeus has been deeply involved in trying to steer the supply effort, though U.S. officials dispute that assertion.
According to U.S. and Arab officials, the CIA has sent officers to Turkey to help direct the aid, but the agency has been hampered by lack of good intelligence about many rebel figures and factions.
Another Middle Eastern diplomat whose government has supported the Syrian rebels said his country's political leadership was discouraged by the lack of organization and the ineffectiveness of the disjointed Syrian opposition movement and had raised its concerns with U.S. officials. "There's not much of anything that's encouraging. We should have lowered our expectations," the diplomat said.
Airspace: Turkey's foreign minister announced Sunday a ban on all Syrian aircraft entering his country's airspace, days after the authorities discovered what they said were Russian military munitions on board a passenger plane bound for Damascus.
Cluster bombs: The Syrian military has used cluster bombs against civilians throughout the country in recent months, Human Rights Watch charged Sunday. Cluster munitions explode in the air, sending smaller bombs over a large area. But the smaller bombs often don't explode on initial impact, leaving the munitions to act like land mines and explode when handled.

I will make you feel my pain Still I know that I'm wasting my time hating you Yeah I know that I'm
wasting my time here on you I'll break you like you broke me That is all I've got to do I realize

Survival of the Hive' harnesses the very essentials of the stewardship of leaders through the eyes or the world's most industrious and successful creatures, the honey bee. It purports to identify the optimum leadership footprint that holds vision, strategy, and belief at its epicenter and creates a culture that encourages competency, autonomy, meaningfulness, and progress. A wonderfully written book that not only is easy to relate to, but one that also ingeniously simplifies the world of leadership.Manish Mehta MD MPH, Partner, The Vascular Group PLLC

I have been a leader for almost 50 years - the first 23 of which I served in the U.S. Air Force. This little "bee-book" reinforces leadership lessons I learned on the journey.

Raino, Lt Col USAF (Ret), OD and Training Practitioner
I have read hundreds of business leadership books and still found this book timely, interesting, and easily adaptable to share with teams.

This book is a great tool to develop leadership in teams!Jared Eckler, President, Townsend Leather Company
Survival of the Hive utilizes the roles of bees in the hive to show us the value of Servant leadership in guiding an organization to meet its goals.

The Bachelor
Who Wore It Best, Bachelor Baby Edition: Riley Mesnick vs Addison Stagliano
Girlllll you'd better recognize! At least, that's what Riley Ann Mesnick's face is saying in this picture, to us, after we cooed over her cuteness in this flamingo swimsuit. Jason and
Molly Mesnick's little lady was the picture of absolute toddler tummy-bearing perfection in this pic on the left… until DeAnna Pappas and Stephen Stagliano's new girl stole her style.
Let's look at the facts. On June 5, the Season 4 Bachelorette — who actually rejected Jason in the finale (you're welcome, Molly) — Instagrammed the shot on the right of 4-month-old Addison Marie in a flamingo swimsuit. "I can't stand it.....can you?!?!! #addisonmarie #babystag #sodamncute #nofilter," De captioned the shot.
Molly quickly replied, throwing down with her own little lady's adorable pic. "@DeAnnaPappas that suit looks a little familiar…. ;) #babybellies," she tweeted, along with a pic of 15-month-old Riley. Uh oh, ladies, we smell a rivalry! (I smells like dirty diapers.)
So, which girl wore it best? Well, Riley seems to be really owning it, not giving a crap (er, maybe, the pink is very forgiving) if her diaper shows, and accessorizing with a white cover-up and devil-may-care attitude. Addison, meanwhile, is all into the simple look: No wrap, no core strength, no hair, no problem. Reclining and laughing, she has yet to learn of the hardships in life that come with growing up (Riley hears that).So, we leave it to you, dear reader: Which of Bachelor Nation's reigning baby girls are doing that flamingo justice? Who brings the most of their personality to the couture, and who's letting the bird wear them? Hit the comments and weigh in.

Indian Kashmir's first literary festival has been cancelled over fears of violence after a section of authors said holding the event would "portray that all is normal in Kashmir."
The festival was to be staged September 24-26 in Srinagar, Kashmir's main city, but organizers said Monday that it had been called off after some local and Indian authors and filmmakers wrote an open letter in protest.
"Holding such a festival would dovetail with the state's concerted attempt to portray that all is normal in Kashmir," read the letter, signed among others by leading Kashmiri writers Basharat Peer and Mirza Waheed. Opponents have set up a Facebook page to argue against the festival, saying there is no freedom of speech in Kashmir.
Anti-India sentiments run high in the region, which has been wracked by a deadly insurgency against New Delhi's rule since 1989.
Cancelling the event, organizers said that many participants "have voiced their concerns about possible violence during the festival due to the heightened nature of the debate, and a call for protest at the venues."
"We neither have the desire to be responsible for yet more unrest in the valley nor to propagate mindless violence in the name of free speech," a statement said. "We are therefore left with little alternative but to cancel the festival for now."
'Pink city' of Jaipur
Those arranging the literary festival are also responsible for a similar event held each January in India's "pink city" of Jaipur. The Jaipur festival this year gave pride of place to Indian Kashmir, whose literature has been marked by more than two decades of rebel violence.
Muslim-majority Kashmir has a rich literary tradition dating back to the 14th century, but few outsiders are familiar with works from the region because much of it has never been translated.
Salman Rushdie not invited
But an increasing number of Kashmiri books are now appearing in English as interest grows.
Organizers made it clear that they had not invited Salman Rushdie, as was reported in some media.
"We hope that when calmer sense prevails and we are confidently able to provide a sense of security to our speakers and guests, we will re-energise the festival," the statement said.
"Till then, it is a sad day for us and a victory for a vocal minority who feel that they alone are the doorkeepers to peoples' minds and hearts."
Violence has sharply declined in the region since India and Pakistan, which hold the region in part but claim it in full, started a peace process in 2004.

2). If you select "Only make me available to" then you will be only available to that list(s) and unavailable to all others.
Both these choices are dependent on each other and if you change one, the other will automatically change.
I select 3 lists under the "Make me unavailable to" category and when you see the "Only make me available to" category the fourth one is checked there. So it's vice versa, you can manage the Limit Availability from both options.

They want it for the holidays, but do you want it on your network?
By Emily Poe
The enterprise pros and cons of some of Black Friday's hottest ereaders and tablets
With the holiday season quickly approaching, tech giants have released new versions of some of their most popular devices.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) recently introduced a slew of new iPads, while Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Barnes and Noble have introduced a lineup of new tablets and ereaders to the market. Meanwhile, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) released the Nexus 10 tablet Nov. 13 and Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Surface was unveiled a few weeks ago, in tandem with the release of Windows 8.
But as customers--many of whom are also enterprise users--are waiting to see which electronic present they'll get to open, enterprise IT shops are waiting to see what effects some of these new devices will have on their networks.
In our slideshow, we take a look at the pros and cons of some of the hottest new tablets and ereaders on the market--just in time for Black Friday.

Hi Stan,
How are you? Just checking in. Have you used your Kabobmaster and how do you like it?
Yes, I have used the machine and it was fantastic. As Summer approaches, I anticipate getting more use from the machine this year. Have you engineered any add on components? If you do in the future, I would be interested to see your products.
Thanks for touching base.
Hi Art,
How has the KabobMaster been working for you?
Hi Nick
Sorry to take so long in getting back to you, but I was out of town. I have used the Kabobmaster several times (mostly during the summer) and it works great.
Hey Nick, my father did receive his Kabobmaster grill on Wednesday as promised. He was very delighted with the product and can's wait to use it for the first time. Thank you very much for your quick response and prompt shipment. I will make sure to spread the word about your products among our community.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I think I bought the first one from you but got it shipped to our house in Lenior, NC and my wife brought it with her to Saudi Arabia. I bought the second one because I really like the one I got and wanted to have another one in our family retreat house.
Hello Nick,
I am pleased to get email from you. I am doing good, I hope same is for you. I am very happy with kabobmaster, never failed my expectations. I am using it approximately 12 times a year. Keeping it inside of my garage, to avoid unnecessary moisture . Unfortunately I did not buy the grill yet. I moved to a new and bigger house and expenses raised too. But some day I will get the grill also, but can't estimate the time. Still I have unfinished construction in my new house. I did not take any pictures because the grill I am using it with is too small. Please keep me posted with emails with your products. Every relative and friend of mine saw the product and loved it. For couple of them I gave the www.kabobmaster.com address, but later forget to ask if they get it. By the time I see then again I forget what we did before.
Have a great day Nick. Thank you for inventing this useful product.
The unit worked Great and was a Big Hit…. as promised I took a few pics of Pichana's cooking over the open flame.
My family and I LOVE the Kabobmaster. It's a well thought out product built w/ Quality. This thing should last me a long time.
We've used it about 15 times. I can prepare the food ahead of time and the kids can skewer and cook food so it's ready when we get home from work.
My biggest challenge is where to use it. I've used it over both my gas and charcoal grills and had good results in both. We've cooked chicken, steak, sausage, shrimp, filet mignon, Greek style souvlaki, potatoes, etc. My preference is charcoal since it tastes so much better. I'm not happy w/ the way is works with my current charcoal grill (not your products fault) and I'm looking for another option. What I need is your 30″ Charcoal Grill. Any other options? Other feedback would be a carrying case for the skewers. I'll try to take some pictures next time we use it.
Thanks again for making a great product!!

Beaver Falls is speeding into PIAA final
Beaver Falls plays fast and furious.
This determined bunch of speedsters, like Holy Cross, is on a mission to win a state championship in basketball.
And the Tigers will offer a stark contrast for Saturday's PIAA Class AA final at 2 p.m. at the Giant Center in Hershey.
"It's going to be important for us to break their full-court pressure," Holy Cross coach Al Callejas said. "They have seven guys who can put the ball in the hole.
"We need to handle that pressure and make good decisions."
Beaver Falls, located in Beaver County in western Pennsylvania, is into the state championship final for the second straight season.
Last year, only days after Holy Cross suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Imhotep Charter in the semifinals, the Tigers lost in the final by the same margin of two points.
But Beaver Falls was a different team last season. This year's group had to replace seven seniors including Sheldon Jeter, a 6-8 center who averaged 22.5 points per game and is now averaging 5.7 points a game at Vanderbilt.
Leading the way with a different philosophy is a stable of lightning quick guards that make life miserable for opponents with their defensive tenacity and offensive explosiveness.
Beaver Falls can score and score quickly.
In the postseason, the Tigers are averaging 55.8 points per game, highlighted by a 92-point effort in a win over Bald Eagle Area to open the PIAA playoffs.
"We have to maintain our focus," Holy Cross senior defensive standout Casey Gaughan said. "We have to play with intensity. We have to stay with our guys and make sure that we get back on defense.
"We know that they can shoot."
But they are also stingy when it comes to defense. The Tigers have limited five of their last eight opponents to less than 40 points.
Drew Cook, a 6-2, senior guard and Elijah Cottrill, a 6-3, junior guard, are the main weapons both offensively and defensively.
They are combining to score more than 32 points a game for the Tigers, who have won 17 games in a row by an margin of 24.9 points.

Songs: It Isn't An Examnotes / gigs / releases
There's a moron on a forum
Published by Wipe Out Music Publishing
This was an idea for a song that'd been kicking around my head for ages, but it wasn't until I was off work poorly, specifically on January 20th 2010, that i BLOSSOMED into a fully formed THING.
The inspirations are probably pretty obvious - verse 1 comes from exactly where it says it does, verse 2 is Some Things That Have Annoyed Me Recently, verse 3 is a conversation with a friend a while ago that seemed to fit in, and then the ending bit FLOWED from there. It felt like it needed a bit MORE before we got to the final chorus, and I'm especially pleased with that bit!
This was the first song I've written for AGES - YEARS, possibly - that wasn't for any version of Dinosaur Planet or for an ADVERT BRIEF. I was taken aback by how EXCITING it was, and got a Really Good Feeling about it - the same as I had about The Lesson Of The Smiths and It Only Works Because You're Here. That's probably jinxed it now though hasn't it?

Wyoming County communities eyeing park improvements
Looking to provide residents with more outdoor alternatives, two Wyoming County communities are banking on a state grant to help fund about $500,000 in park improvements.
Factoryville borough and Clinton Twp. officials recently submitted a joint application for a grant through the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
The grant - a 50 percent match - would cover half the $472,793 officials hope to invest at the joint park on Creek Road, and allow them to move forward with plans to add a multipurpose field and a mile-long walking trail, grant writer Sadie Rozenburg said.
Officials will find out if they get the money in the fall.
The 29-acre park currently features several multipurpose fields, a pavilion and shorter walking trails, she said.
But increasing demand by growing youth sports organizations, coupled with an initiative to improve the communities' health, pushed officials to seek the grant.
"We want to add things to the park that benefit the whole community so we get more people out here," Ms. Rozenburg said.
Beyond the field and the stone dust walking trail, improvements also will include additional parking spaces, she said.
Factoryville Borough Manager Mary Ellen Buckbee said the additional fields and parking will help to alleviate congestion during soccer season.
The new walking trail would provide an incentive for family members or friends to "tag along," she said.
"Often times, people just stand along the sidelines until the practice ends," she said. "This gives them something else to do."

I can't find much online about fixed gear double centuries, so here goes.
Surly Steamroller. 48 X 18 gearing. Soma Hwy One handlebars. Road and Cross brake levers. Specialized Romin saddle. MKS GR-9 pedals with MKS Clips and Toshi Straps. One under-saddle pack with tire tubes, CO2, wrenches, sunscreen. Two waterbottles with Vitalyte drink mixed with water. One waterbottle full of Vitalyte powder drink mix (to mix on the ride. I don't like Gatorade). One Timbuk2 'bento box' full of 7 homemade energy bars (approx 300 kcal, 500mg Sodium, 40g Carbs--I'm a dietitian, I can't help it!). New 25mm Gatorskin tires and tubes for the ride. One homemade bike jersey made by my wife.
Once the sun came up, it was 90+ degrees the whole way.
The ride:
I woke at 3:45am. Ate 4 slices of french toast with syrup and butter, plus 16oz of soy milk.
I left at 6:15am. Parking is a zoo at the start. It took an hour to park and drop off my finish line bag. I ate a banana at 6am.
I rode the first 100 miles in pacelines with another fixed gear rider (Sam from Portland, on 48 X 17 gearing) and other people I met along the way. The route is basically flat on the first 100, with the exception of one hill in Puyallup where I had to stand up to make it up. The only high-traffic road that was somewhat dangerous was between the towns of Spanaway and Roy, on Hwy 507. Otherwise I felt relatively safe from vehicles. This is also where the bicycle riders started to spread out, so that you didn't have to pass or be passed so often. I think the only accident I witnessed was on this stretch of road, where a rider rode off of the shoulder (not sure why).
With the temp starting to heat up, I was averaging about 500mL of water + Vitalyte (80 calories), 1 of my homemade bars, and occasional small Clif Bars per hour during the first 100 miles.
The first 100 miles took 6.5 total hours, and 5.75 hours of riding time.
In Centralia, which is 100 miles in, I had an ice cream bar, grapes, watermelon, and oranges. I added some sunscreen, and left.
Through the town of Centralia, many residents will aim their lawn sprinklers over the roadway to cool cyclists off. Riding through this felt great. However, I veered into one of these, and somehow didn't realize that the pavement would be wet. Down I went. Both knees were bloody, and my left hand had a deep bruise on the palm. The homeowner was nice enough to give me some Neosporin and bandaids. But, those bandaids don't stick well to sweaty skin. So, I had blood streaming down my legs for the rest of the ride, and nice red-brown bloody socks, a la Curt Schilling. Lovely.
The second 100 miles featured more rolling hills. I only had to stand up and pedal for about 4 hills during this part: The bridge in Longview, the bridge in Portland, and about 2 others. I did stand up a few times, just to give my butt a rest though.
It was heating up though, so I drank 750-1000mL of Vitalyte + water per hour, plus ~200 calories of Clif Shot Bloks, and occasional grapes and Clif Bars and homemade bars.
I wasn't able to ride in pacelines as much during this last half of the ride, maybe about 1/3 of the time. Many people declined my invitation to work together. Their loss, I guess. Maybe it was the bloody legs and socks? I just rode behind them, relaxed a bit, and let them do the work.
Final stats:
Total ride time: 15 hours. Left Seattle at 6:15am, Arrived in Portland at 9:15pm. I took much longer breaks during the second half of the ride.
Time on bike: 12.5 hours.
Average speed on bike: 16.2 mph
Knees: Still healing after 1.5 weeks. I'm down to one bandaid on each knee now.
4 day/week bike commuter on 48 X 17 gearing, Feb - October.
1 X 100 mile, 2 X 75, 4 X 50, 10 X 30 mile rides (all solo, aiming for 17+mph avg speed) in the 1.5 months leading up to the ride (48 X 17 gearing). I think the longer rides were all on early Saturday mornings (plus one day when I skipped work!), and I got home by noon. The 30 mile rides were commute rides, in which I rode all the way into work from Kent to Seattle, WA.
Physical therapy to make sure that I had enough back strength, since my poor posture was causing nerve pain in my knee during May.
I just wanted to let people know that it's achievable on a fixed gear bicycle. I'm not a burly cyclist, just a 5'7" 35-year old guy who mainly commutes.

text: (OP note: I recently updated and revised this topic; we need to about our father's business, not scared out of our minds at every little thing) Fear. When used in reference to God, it is us in awesome reverence and wonder at his power, beauty and utter holiness. That we would rather be dragged over a hundred miles of nails and broken glass than to intentionally offend this being of pure brilliance, complete wisdom, supreme might and unspeakable love. But that is not the fear I am talking about today... It's the OTHER fear. The fear that grips people in the middle of the night, the fear that haunts a person's waking thoughts and their fitful, restless sleep. It's the fear that makes us forget that God is God, and like Peter, we begin to sink in the dark, murky waters of uncertainty that are overcast by the storms of this life. Now, before I continue: I am not writing this post to be popular: indeed it will most likely make a lot of people upset and just plain mad. Perhaps so mad that they cannot see straight. But I am not called to please people, or to "tickle their ears"; I am called to post what God has placed on my heart. So be forewarned... This fear is part of a deadly trio called "FUD", or, "Fear-Uncertainty-Doom." It is a most deadly trio, and one leads right into the next, causing us to not cling to the rock that is our Saviour, and instead to claw madly at the shifting sands of this life in a futile and utterly void attempt to grasp something we perceive as "solid." Oh, that our faith were "solid" instead... "For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7, NASB, emphasis mine) We hear talk about "preparing for the worst" and "stocking up just in case." While these aren't a bad idea for short-term troubles, this talk is of practically building underground reserves of food and water for years. Of "buying gold" in case the economy completely crashes, and we are left without any worthwhile currency. Of "arming ourselves" in case of the government turning on us or some sort of invasion, or mass riots and looting, or at the very least needing to hunt for food... Has fear gripped us that strongly? Do we trust God THAT little? We say that we trust God to save us from our sins, yet if we cannot trust him with the basic necessities of life, than how in the WORLD can we say we trust him with our forevers?! If we are going to cave in to the fears of this world, is not our God stronger than all of these, yet we refuse to believe in his awesome might?! Have we reduced our omnipotent, everlasting God to a powerless figment of our minds?! ."No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."(Matthew 6:24-34, NASB, emphasis mine) He promises in his inerrant word to care for us, yet when the rubber of our faith is called to meet with the asphalt of this life, we cringe? We trust him to save us but not to care for our needs when the need arises?! HOW FAITHLESS ARE WE???!!! The fact of the matter is that Scripture speaks STRONGLY against FUD: "Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some. Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness." (2 Timothy 2:14-19, NASB, emphasis mine) When we spread that kind of garbage, not only are we terrifying people senseless, but we are drawing their attention away from the Lord and to the problems surrounding us. Through scripture, the Lord warns us not to do this, yet we do. So what do we call it when we disobey the Lord? I ask again... HOW FAITHLESS ARE WE???!!! We forget: "For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.(2 Timothy 1:7, NASB, emphasis mine)) The Apostles (including Paul, ESPECIALLY Paul!) all went through times of trials that would peel the very skin from our backs, yet they never once wavered in their faith. Never ONCE did they doubt that one day, the Last Trump would sound, and that alive or dead, they would be summoned bodily to be with the Lord forever. Generation after generation of Christians have suffered and DIED horrible deaths, and yet they clung to the promise that God would care for them, and that he would return for them. Thousands upon thousands of martyrs, blood spilled in the name of our holy Saviour, and they didn't recant even ONCE. Yet we, living in the times just before our mighty King's return for us, having the PRIVILEGE to see his return bodily..... ...are afraid? "Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED." But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. " ( Romans 8:35-39, NASB, emphasis mine) God promises that no one will remove us by ANY means, yet we look at the world and shudder... DO WE TRUST OUR GOD SO LITTLE???!!! Have we become so concerned with comfort, that we confuse what we WANT for what we "need?" Ask yourself: do I NEED this, or do I WANT this? (and yes, medication is a need, let's not go there.) We need to examine ourselves on this; we need to do so oh-so-much. The trio I mentioned before; "Fear-Uncertainty-Doom" poisons us, and causes us to stray from our Lord, to not trust him for what we need. It causes us to magnify our problems INSTEAD of the eternal God is who larger than ALL of our griefs, woes and dilemmas. Fear causes us to be uncertain about not only the things in this life, but God's word. And uncertainty about god's word causes us to doubt the Word. I know that as human, we have fears, we are uncertain, and we have doubts; but that being said, if we have fears of this world, we MUST surrender them to the Lord and let HIM comfort us; if we have uncertainty, we MUST be still, and know that God IS GOD. If we have doubts, we must come before the Lord and LET him reassure us. We needn't be afraid; we need to stand as the Lord has commanded us, and "Occupy till I come." (Luke 13:19 b, NASB) Right now, we MUST cling as tightly as we can to God, and not leave his side for an INSTANT. If we are to fear, then let our fear be a CLEAN fear: the fear of the almighty God HIMSELF! "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28, NASB, emphasis mine) Our walk cannot be a timid, tiptoeing across a vast distance, but a purposeful stride as we walk with our beautiful Saviour and righteous King. We have only a short time left, and there are still many we must reach. Time is running out, and we cannot afford to be doing anything else that detracts from our commission to preach the Gospel to the lost. TOO MUCH is at stake! One last thing to keep in mind: our walk is visible to all that see us: including those that we talk with, those that we work with, and those that visit were we congregate (be it the church we go to or these forums, it makes no difference). What does our walk say if we walk in terror? Are we driving away people by embracing fear? If we show no faith in our God, the how in the WORLD can we proclaim him to those that are themselves consumed with fear and uncertainty? If he is not supreme in our lives, then how can we declare him as such to the unsaved? Does fear rule us, or does God? Father, forgive us for taking our eyes off of you. Forgive us our moments of despair, and of not trusting in your precious word. We repent of our faithlessness, and ask you in Christ's name to restore within us a heart for you Lord. Cleanse us of the choking fears of this world, and instill in us the clean, pure fear of you. Remove from us the canker of uncertainty, and reassure us by your words Lord. Take away from us the dark blanket of doom, and instead give us the lamp of truth, that we may be as candles to this darkened, dying world. In Christ's name we pray, Amen. YBIC, -Robert

Bracken is a well-adapted pioneer plant, which can dominate large areas of moorland. Established stands occupy an estimated 975,000 hectares of open upland and heathland in the UK.
Bracken can colonise land rapidly and has the potential to expand its area by as much as 1–3 % per year. This ability to expand rapidly is at the expense of other plants and wildlife, and can cause major problems for land managers that can result in high economic loss.
Bracken colonises ground with an open vegetation structure but is slow to colonise healthy, well managed heather stands. Bracken can become a problem on almost any land, except high mountains, and land that is periodically waterlogged or cultivated. The main reasons for the recent spread of bracken are overstocking, and increased nutrification.
Management to maintain scattered stands of bracken on appropriate sites can provide good habitat for a variety of wildlife
Bracken dominated areas may be less important for wildlife than the communities displaced by it. In many areas it is of major conservation benefit to re-establish the previous semi-natural habitat eg. upland heath. Bracken also limits the forage area available to livestock.
However, locally bracken can be of value where it occurs mixed with other vegetation types, and smallareas should be retained in appropriate locations. In some areas, bracken can support a woodland ground flora, for example violets and bluebells, by acting as a substitute woodland canopy. Violets are the larval food plant of the high brown fritillary a rare and declining species of butterfly.
Small stands of bracken provide nesting, feeding and roosting habitat for a variety of birds, for example ring ouzels, twites, whinchats, and stonechats.
Removing bracken encourages primary habitats to re-establish, which are of greater importance for wildlife.
Bracken control
Controlling bracken is a long-term and often expensive undertaking and specialist advice should be sought.
The expense of large-scale management is often beyond most individuals and needs collaboration of individuals and organisations.
Where a small-scale approach is adopted, annual ongoing management is required to prevent rapid recolonisation.
Identify key target areas, and tackle these first. Targeting the leading edge of bracken stands may slow down colonisation into bracken free areas. These should be identified and mapped by surveying bracken distribution in July to October when bracken is most visible.
The peak time to control bracken may coincide with other wildlife activity, especially nesting birds and their unfledged young, and deer fawns.
When planning to manage an area, survey it first for evidence of any breeding activity by birds and other wildlife and avoid disrupting them.
Where bracken cover encourages the growth of violet species, consider the potential occurrence of the high brown fritillary. This butterfly is a rare species in the UK and bracken control may be detrimental.
Methods of bracken control
Though cutting and rolling both reduce bracken vigour and encourage recovery of vegetation, they do not provide full control. Alternative methods are needed to achieve this.
Cutting regimes
Cutting is most effective when bracken is at, or near, full frond. This is even more efficient if bracken is cut twice in the same growing season. In many upland areas slow growth may mean two cuts is not possible. In this case a single cut, close to the ground, in mid late July can increase the potential for early frost damage to regenerating bracken and surface rhizomes.
Annual cutting will need to be repeated until thebracken disappears, which can take in excess of 10 years in well established stands.
Cutting once will produce an even stand with more active buds, which may increase the effectiveness of chemical treatment in the following year.
Where ground-nesting birds are present, cutting should be avoided during May July. Leave those areas until last or avoid until after any nests have become inactive. The period to wait is likely to be only a matter of days or a couple of weeks. If in doubt seek specialist advice.
The use of rolling
If cutting is not possible, consider rolling the bracken. The timing is the same as for cutting. There are a number of small machines on the market designed specifically for this type of work, which can be towed behind tractors or 4x4 vehicles.
Rolling does not cut off the stems but leaves them attached to the root to bleed the sap, this reduces food energy for bud development in the following year.
Each rolling operation can reduce shoots by about one third, reducing a dense stand of bracken into more scattered fronds.
Rolling for three consecutive years has been shown to be more effective than carrying out a one-off operation. Even so, bracken control will need to continue for more than three years to avoid recolonisation.
Grazing regimes
Temporary mob stocking, particularly using cattle, horses or ponies in May and June, may crush emerging bracken fronds resulting in reduced bracken cover. Sufficient fodder will be required to prevent livestock eating the bracken.
Mob stocking can damage vegetation beneath the bracken canopy. It can also lead to nutrient enrichment and damage bird nests. Where the management objective is to restore heather moorland, and other semi-natural vegetation communities, mob stocking is often inappropriate.
Trampling also increases the rate of breakdown of dense bracken litter.
Correct stocking levels can be critical to prevent bracken invasion. In the uplands overgrazing can reduce vegetation competition, which favours bracken spread.
Herbicide treatment
Herbicide treatment is highly effective if a full programme of primary treatment and aftercare is undertaken.
Asulam is a selective, systemic herbicide known to be effective against bracken, but thought to have only low toxicity. It can be applied either as a spot treatment to individual fronds, or by using a tractor or ATV mounted sprayer. In large scale bracken control programmes aerial spraying using helicopters is a valid and cost effective option.
The systemic nature of Asulam means that for effective treatment it should only be applied to mature fronds ensuring maximum translocation to the underground rhizomes. Fronds are normally mature from mid July to the end of August. At this time most birds should have completed breeding and are not likely to be affected by herbicide application.
Glyphosate can be used to spray dense areas of bracken with no understorey.
Where stands are more open, and there is an issue of affecting non-target species of flora, consider the possibility of weedwiping or application with a hand lance.
The statutory conditions of use on the product label must be adhered to when using any chemicals for bracken management.
Other management considerations
Any bracken control programme must be completed, otherwise bracken will re-establish.
The management of heather moorland often encourages the growth of bracken. Burning should not be undertaken in close proximity to existing stands of bracken.
Bracken is carcinogenic to humans, and high numbers of sheep ticks associated with bracken can increase the likelihood of transmission of Lyme disease.

PHILADELPHIA -- The University of Pennsylvania is increasing its use of renewable wind energy during the next two years, earning the University the rank of top consumer of wind energy among institutions of higher education across the nation, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Penn has ranked consistently as one of the nation's Top 25 green-power purchasers since the EPA began ranking institutions in 2005.
The University, which purchases its wind energy through Community Energy of Radnor, Pa., will purchase an additional 80,000 megawatt hours per year, bringing its total wind-energy purchase to nearly 200,000 megawatt hours per year. This figure is the equivalent to powering 22,000 average homes in the United States for a year. Penn's current wind-energy contracts continue through 2011, with the supplemental purchase retroactively covering 2007 and 2008.
"We are proud to expand our sizeable commitment to clean and renewable wind energy," Penn President Amy Gutmann said. "This is yet another demonstrable step that Penn is taking as a leader in a global effort to achieve environmental sustainability."
Purchasing wind energy is one element of Penn's Green Campus Partnership, a multi-year strategic plan to achieve climate neutrality.
In February 2007 Dr. Gutmann was the first Ivy League signatory to the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment, requiring Penn to develop a long-range plan for carbon neutrality. An interdisciplinary committee of students, faculty and staff are at work on this plan, which will be completed in the fall of 2009.
"By the completion of our sustainability plan in 2009, we expect to unveil additional programs including continued participation in sustainable energy," Anne Papageorge, vice president for facilities and real estate services at Penn, said.
Additional information about Penn's commitment to environmental sustainability is at www.upenn.edu/sustainability.

Former 16 and Pregnant Star Wants Daughter Back
October 03, 2011 08:43 AM by Jackie Morrison
Ebony Jackson-Rendon, a former cast member of 16 and Pregnant, lost her daughter last month after authorities discovered the living conditions of her home. Now the teen mom and her husband want their daughter back after completing a major home clean-up.
Both Ebony Jackson-Rendon and her husband Joshua Rendon were arrested and their toddler daughter was put into the custody of the State. The couple appeared on a previous season of 16 and Pregnant where they were filmed while expecting. As a result of the arrest Joshua Rendon also faces military disciplinary action from the Air Force and could be discharged.
The couple were released on bond and have not yet appeared in court to face the charges. It has been reported that they have cleaned up their home in an effort to regain custody of their daughter. Ebony Jackson-Rendon is not a cast member of the Teen Mom show which was a follow-up to 16 and Pregnant. Other Teen Mom reality stars have also faced legal and relationship problems while filming episodes documenting their lives after giving birth.
The raid and loss of custody is the latest in personal difficulties for Ebony Jackson-Rendon. She spoke to Hollybaby.com shortly after the incident about her life after appearing on 16 and Pregnant. Her mental state had been in depression before her arrest due to losing an unborn son two months earlier.
"My house was raided last night and my daughter was taken from me," she said. "I had been suffering with depression. I lost a kid, so I've been going through my own personal problems and so I haven't been able to be the wife, mom that I'm supposed to be."
Ebony Jackson-Rendon also claimed that she was admitted to a hospital in June to prevent her from committing suicide. She also claims that the synthetic marijuana found in the raid belonged to her and not her husband.
