The state of the savings market is understandably leaving many savers frustrated, particularly those of the older generation who rely on a healthy return to boost their income and fund later life. That's why many are deciding to look away from cash, and are considering investing in the stock market instead.
That's according to research from Saga Investment Services, which found that a third of over-50s surveyed are looking to put more of their cash in investments following the recent base rate cut. This could signal a sharp change in behaviour, with one in five having only ever put their money in cash savings accounts, but the desire for greater returns is leading many to consider alternatives.
Given that savings rates are falling so rapidly – and that any decent deals are being withdrawn from the market at an alarming rate – it's little wonder that so many are seeking non-cash investments. Indeed, 54% of respondents felt that the base rate change will affect them in some way, with more than half saying that they face a loss of income as a result. Many will even have to cut back on their spending, with falling returns meaning their new monthly budget simply doesn't go far enough.
Suffering from a loss of income will no doubt encourage people to rethink their options – of those who have only ever invested in cash, almost a quarter are now starting to think about investing in alternative vehicles for the first time, a figure which rises to 30% of those in their fifties. This is also the age group least likely to have invested in shares before, so the desire for greater returns at this stage of life is clear.
"As people approach retirement and beyond, it is clear that they want to make their money work harder for them so that they can continue to enjoy living life to the full," said Nici Audhlam-Gardiner, managing director of Saga Investment Services. "We are seeing a real shift in people who are considering moving more of their cash to investments.
"While some over-50s are sophisticated investors and happy to make their own decisions, others are returning to investment or dipping their toe in the water for the first time. They are telling us they would like some help to navigate their way to the most appropriate investment for them. They should ensure they speak to an expert who will take into account their appetite for risk and time horizon for investing, rather than opting for whatever offers the highest return."
This need to seek advice really is key, particularly for those who don't know where to start when it comes to investing. It's an incredibly complex business and comes with far more risk than investing in cash, so making sure you're prepared for that is essential. Read our investment guides to get started, and you may want to consider a stocks & shares ISA if you're not confident with all-out stock market investment. Either way, make sure to seek independent financial advice so you can be confident in your investment decisions.

HAMMOND — When Northwestern State coach Jay Thomas talked about the points of emphasis going into last weekend's clash against Southeastern Louisiana, he talked about quarterback Bryan Bennett and the Lions aggressive defense.
But he didn't stop there. Thomas also lauded the Lions' special teams play, declaring they were the best his team had faced, and that was after games with FBS opponents Baylor and Louisiana Tech.
With Bennett bottled up and SLU's offense limited to a season-low 235 yards, the play of both the Lions defense and special teams were of paramount importance in holding off Northwestern State down the stretch in a key 30-22 victory in Southland Conference play.
"Our coaches do a good job of showing us the importance of special teams," SLU cornerback Denzel Thompson said. "They remind us if things aren't going well in other areas, we can make it up in special teams and keep us in the game."
Thompson was at the forefront of SLU's special teams and defensive handy work, recovering a blocked field goal and registering two of his team's three interceptions, including the game-saving pick in the end zone in the final minute of play.
In all SLU (4-2, 2-0), which travels to Lamar (4-2, 1-1) for a 6 p.m. Southland Conference game Saturday, blocked three kicks, relied on the superb kicking of senior Ryan Adams and a momentum-changing kickoff return from Xavier Roberson to impact the team's latest victory.
"We talked in preseason about how good we've been on special teams and continue to be good," SLU special teams coordinator Patrick Toney said. "If we're going to be successful and make the run we want to, we have to be great on special teams."
SLU has the top kickoff return and kickoff coverage units in the SLC, and Adams has emerged as one the league's best kickers. They've helped complement a ball-hawking defense that's first in interceptions and helps the Lions maintain a plus-5 turnover ratio, good enough for second in the conference.
A year after blocking seven kicks, SLU got its first three of the season against Northwestern by controlling the middle of the Demons' protection. All three blocks were courtesy of hulking 320-pound defensive linemen — Javari Nichols and Ashton Henderson on two field goals — and A.J. Bowen blocked a third-quarter extra point.
"We had an advantage with our line size and had a couple of linemen willing to go in there and create havoc," Thompson said. "We found a weak spot to try and take a couple of points off the board. Luckily, we had some opportunities."
Both of the blocked field goals led to scoring opportunities for Adams, who gave SLU a 6-0 lead on field goals of 41 and a school-record 55-yarder in the second quarter.
Linebacker Isiah Corbett made it 16-0 with a 44-yard interception return before Northwestern State to cut into the deficit and trailed 16-8 with less than nine minutes left in the third quarter.
Roberson, the school's career leader in kickoff return yardage, took advantage of a penalty that backed up Northwestern 5 yards and brought back the ensuing kickoff 79 yards to the 7, setting up Kody Sutton's 6-yard TD run.
SLU took a commanding 30-8 lead on Bennett's 28-yard TD pass to Devante Scott before the Demons reeled off 14 straight points, taking advantage of a fumbled punt and later putting together a lengthy drive against a tiring defense.
Northwestern, which recovered an onside kickoff and executed a second successful fake punt on the drive, was rebuffed with 59 seconds to play on Thompson's interception in the end zone.
"It's always a plus to have playmakers on your defense that can help you score points," said Thompson, who also had seven tackles. "We feel just because we play defense doesn't mean we can't score points, too.
"We can help the offense put up points."

When I was primarily a traditional photographer shooting film, taking the photograph was just the beginning of the creative journey. How I processed the film and then how I printed in the darkroom all were important in creating the final image that I envisioned.
Now with digital photography, the same ideas apply. The image creativity for me does not just stop at the clicking of the camera. It continues with the RAW processing and into the creative digital processing.
I primarily use Capture One for my RAW processing and then use onOne's Perfect Photo Suite for my image enhancing. For some images, I like producing a painterly look. To create this painterly look to your photographs can be an easy task or a very difficult one. It all depends on how detailed you want it to be or how much work you need to do on the original image.
This is my original image. Since i had pre-visualized a painterly look for this image, I was not concerned about the lack of excitement in the sky. I wanted to make sure I retained the details in the metal of this Pumpjack.
In Perfect Photo Suite, I deleted the background using the masking module.
This is just a bit of what Matt Suess and I teach in our classes and workshops. I can also do private online instruction via Skype or in-person one-on-one workshops anywhere you would like to be. Just visit here for private instruction information.

HI all,
I attended my bf's friend's wedding party yesterday. This was our "attending a party together as a couple". I was a little nervous initially. Anyways, I planned this look long back, when my aunt gifted gorgeous pashmina silk saree to me. And yes, my mom didn't my hair. I can't appreciate her patience enough
I loved my nearly perfect eye makeup and overall it stayed in place all the time. HOPE you like it too.
You look amazing Esha and the makeup is lit
I love everything about your look! I dont wear saris a lot but, I am sooooo gonna steal that blouse design
The peacock style accessories are beautiful and compliment the look perfectly! :) :)
You guys are blessed with amazing hair! I absolutely love it :)
I am sure you would have turned many heads around
Saloni_fizzy sparklesModerator

Thanks a ton Ratidi… Your compliments mean a lot. Yes, I have come a long way. Everyday is not perfect yet and I make mistakes at times. I check the pictures, try to understand what went wrong and then fix it the next day. And you are and always will be the guide I needed. I* learn so much from your looks and then modify them for my skin-tone and complexion. I will recreate the blue liner look soon
Thanks a lot again for your encouragement and mention in insta-story.

All pupils are given weekly homework tasks, I would ask that maximum effort is given to ensure it is completed and returned on time. Although I hope the children are able to take responsibility for and complete their work independently, I am always delighted when parents choose to help children who become stuck. Please don't be afraid to support your child if they need extra help at home. Should a set task baffle even the adults, please don't hesitate to come and see me!
Your child is expected to read every evening for 10 minutes. They need to bring their reading book and signed homework diary into school every morning. Children who do not read at home will need to catch up with it during either their break or lunchtime. Books will normally be changed on Thursdays.
Your child will be provided with a spelling rule on a Thursday and a list of words connected with this rule. Every day, we will complete activities linked to the spellings ready for their test on Wednesday giving pupils several days to practice their spellings. In order to help with revision, children are asked to write a range of sentences using their sentences (see the spelling ideas sheet in their homework book) . Alternatively, a creative short story can be written which requires the children to use their spellings correctly in sentences. Weekly spellings are also uploaded to Kids Spell so children can play online games. The link is here or click on the logo below.
They will also be provided with an additional literacy / topic task and if necessary a punctuation or grammar activity as well.
Pupils are asked to practice their tables daily. They will have a weekly times tables test which is individually set. In addition, extra challenges will be provided on a weekly basis which will require children to talk about their maths and use different strategies to work out the answers.
One piece of homework a week will be set, sometimes this will be online using our new subscription 'Purple Mash'.
Anyone who doesn't have access to the internet at home will be able to complete online homework using either our lunchtime or afterschool homework club.
Homework is handed out on a Thursday
Homework is due in the following Tuesday
(Should there be any problem with meeting the weekly deadline, please speak to me before Tuesday)

The earlier the rcds, the more slip-shod the priests were in recording details such as parents' names. This appears to be the case for your pair.
You are left with two options neither of which are very good. The first is to look for their birth rcds using rules of thumb. The rules are females generally married at 21 +/- 4 yrs and males at 24 +/- 4 yrs. The second is to guess at the parents' names using the Irish Naming Tradition.
However, you are searching at the very edge of Irish genealogy history. Earlier B/M events either weren't rcd'd or didn't survive. You may indeed be at the final brick wall.

Is your salon highly visible online locally? Have a quick look now. As a local business, ranking highly on search engines for your locality is crucial to the success of your marketing. After all, your local community is where the majority of your clients and potential new ones hang out.
5 Top Tips to ensure Google lists your salon on local search
1. Start with Google My Business
Google is the most important place to be listed in local search, so let's start here. You may have heard of Google+ Local and Google Places. Google also launched Google My Business which combines the former Google+ Local and Google Places. In Google's own words, "Google My Business connects you directly with customers, whether they're looking for you on Search, Maps or Google+."
If you haven't secured your Google My Business Page you're missing a salon marketing trick. The good news is it's free and fairly straightforward. Simply follow the steps here: www.google.com/business/
#TopTip: Complete your Google My Business registration thoroughly. Don't be tempted to skip sections. To rank well on searches it's essential to fully complete your salon's profile.
Check you've completed:
- your business name, address, phone (often abbreviated to NAP)
- business categories (you can choose more than one)
- upload photos and videos (if you haven't got any then get snapping fast)
- your salon opening hours
- write a short piece of copy to about your business to entice readers to click.
2. Listings in other online business directories
If you want to rank well for your town or city, then the more "citations" you can get the better. A citation is simply a mention of your salon name and address on another website. Citations are usually found on directory sites such as Yelp or ThomsonLocal, but are also found on local business websites like the Chamber of Commerce and local press.
Getting citations is a fairly manual process for a salon owner, but worth doing. Target yourself to one a week, or even one a month. I'd start with:
- Yell.com
- Yelp.co.uk
- ThomsonLocal.com
- LocalDataCompany.com
The registration process varies between the directories, as does the time for your citation to appear.
#TopTip: Use a consistent name and address across your salon website, Google My Business and all other listings.
Let's say it's Snipz Hairdressing on your website. Stick to this across all your registrations. Don't use slight changes such as Snipz Hair or Snipz Hair Salon. Google will think they're two separate businesses and rank you lower on searches.
3. Online reviews boost local rankings
Now you have your Google My Business and other online listings you need to generate online reviews through them. You'll find more on this in my another NHF blog here.
Online reviews are free salon marketing tools which:
- Help your local ranking. If all things are equal, the salon with more Google reviews is likely to rank higher for a local search.
- Paint a vivid picture of your business for potential new clients and add to your credibility
#TopTip: Never post a fake review or ask family or friends to do so on your behalf. If you're caught out Google may suspend your listing or give you a penalty by lowering your rankings.
4. Paint your town red
Networking offline locally is good for drumming up new business. It is also a simple way to boost your local online profile too.
Building reciprocal website links with other local businesses sends the right 'local' signals to Google helping you to rank higher in searches. When you're promoting your salon with another local business always post your joint offer on both websites and link back to each other. It's win-win for both of you.
5. Content marketing
Add plenty of good quality content to your salon website regularly and consistently, monthly at the very least.
Google makes it clear content marketing is critical to local search engine optimization. It rewards website owners who are committed to writing and publishing articles, news and hair and beauty tips consistently, with higher local ranking. Blog articles can be used on your social media too, so you get plenty of marketing mileage out of them.

Organic Moringa SuperHerb® Tea Bags
In Stock Ships within 24-48 hours
Moringa SuperHerb® Tea was featured as one of the Top 5 Trends at the NASFT Winter Fancy Food Show 2013. It was also featured by Supermarket Guru, Phil Lempert as a product hit and in the September 2013 issue of Details Magazine.
Our Minister of Herbs continually searches the globe for "wonder" herbs unique in flavor and functionality. While unknown to the Western world, many herbs have been nutritional dynamos in the local region's daily diet for centuries whether for boosting performance, strength or longevity. Now, these SuperHerb Teas can be an easy part of your daily wellness regimen.
Organic Tea for Nourishment*
Known as the "miracle tree," Moringa (mor-IN-ga) is native to India where it is prized most notably for its detoxifying properties.* Moringa also delivers several antioxidant plant compounds, which have been studied for their effects on maintaining healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels.* We have combined premium organic moringa leaves with organic green rooibos for its beneficial effects. Mango adds a fruity note to the grassy herbal base.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
This herbal blend is naturally caffeine-free. More about caffeine.
Steeping herbal tea is easy. Simply heat fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil. Then pour water over tea and steep for 5-7 minutes if using a tea bag or full-leaf.
Organic moringa leaves, organic green rooibos, organic mango flavor

Moringa tea
I really love this tea, and drink it almost every morning. I am so glad I took the chance to try it and ordered it. I tell my friends and family about it, a lot!
Really DOES lower blood sugar
I received a sample bag with my last order. The enclosed card described that it helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. I was a bit skeptical but soon had a reason to try it when I had a late night meal and was worried how high my blood sugar would be the next morning. Surprisingly, I tested just slightly above the recommended level. I am planning to drink a nightly cup to see if I can reduce the dosage of my medications. It helps that it tastes good, too.
Best tea ever
I usually don't try the free samples I get with my orders from Republic of Tea, but I am so glad I decided to try this one. It is quite simply the most delicious tea I have ever had. I have been wanting to eliminate all sweeteners from my tea, and the mango provides just enough natural sweetness that I no longer have to add any sweeteners. Like others, I do wish it was available in a tin can. The cans themselves are all so lovely. This tea is now a staple of my diet - couldn't imagine a day with a few cups of this amazing tea.
Moringa Good
My husband and I enjoy the fruity task of this tea as a late night treat. One of our doctors recommended the tea as a holistic treatment.
Liver detox
Started drinking the Moringa tea last few weeks and my liver enzymes went from high levels to below normal levels . , better than taking drugs to get this detox effect.

The "traffic chaos" which ground Buxton's roads to a standstill last year was the result of bungling National Grid ignoring council instructions, a Freedom of Information request has revealed.
On November 4, roads around Buxton ground to a halt because of work being undertaken on Fairfield Road.
Norman Torkington, 77, was one of the victims caught in the chaos – spending almost one hour driving from Buxton to Dove Holes to walk his son's dogs.
After escaping the jam, an investigative Mr Torkington sent a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to Derbyshire County Council to find out how the problem occurred.
Mr Torkington, who lives with wife Carole, 70, on Park Road, said: "The roads were horrendous and I dread to think how much money local businesses lost as a result of the congestion.
"It just didn't seem like a proper time to be carrying out such a job, that's why I submitted the request."
And it turns out Mr Torkington's hunch was right – National Grid should not have undertaken the work when they did.
The FOI request revealed that National Grid (NG) submitted a notice to Derbyshire County Council on October 17 last year advising of proposed roadworks between Tuesday November 4 and Monday November 10.
The council responded by saying roadworks on Fairfield Road could only be carried out on a Sunday.
Despite this, NG started work on the Tuesday as planned – resulting in chaos for Buxton and surrounding areas.
Mr Torkington added: "Imagine if there had been a huge emergency which required ambulances and fire engines – it could have been devastating.
"I hope National Grid has learned its lesson now and will follow instructions from people who actually know the area in future."
A National Grid spokesperson said: "We apologise for the traffic disruption caused by work on Fairfield Road in November.
"We did not properly process the council's request for the work to be carried out on a different date. This was an isolated incident and we've taken steps to ensure it will not be repeated."
A Derbyshire County Council spokesman said: "We always do all we can to ensure minimum disruption to motorists and took immediate action once it became clear that National Grid were working outside agreed conditions on this occasion.
"We're currently working to introduce a new permit scheme which will make utility companies more accountable and face fines if they break permit conditions."

There's a huge side panel window that lets you admire your components, and the cable routing system and dust filters help you build a clean system and keep it clean, too. Tool-free installation of up to three 3.5" hard drives and two solid-state drives make it easy to add and upgrade storage. And, it's easy to live with, too… the dual front panel USB 3.0 connectors let you take advantage of the latest high-speed storage devices.
Huge side panel window
The aggressive look of the SPEC-02 makes it look great on the outside, but there's beauty on the inside of a well-built system, too. The large side panel window lets you show it off.
LED front intake fan, with room for more
The 120mm front intake fan is bathed in soft LED lighting, and it's oriented to draw cool air directly across your graphics cards. And if you want even more ventilation, you can add a second 120mm fan or even dual 140mm fans.
Flexible cooling potential
Like all Corsair cases, the SPEC-02 is designed for cooling, so you're covered if you're overclocking, running multiple GPUs, or if you just want more airflow. There are mounting points for up to six fans, including dual front 140mm or 120mm fans, dual 120mm fans on top, a bottom-mounted 120mm fan, and a rear 120mm fan.
Multiple drive bays
In addition to the two standard 5.25" optical drive bays, there are three 3.5" hard drive bays and two 2.5" solid-state drive bays.
Easy system builds, maintenance and upgrades
Builds should be easy, no matter what your budget. Drive installation is tool-free, and you get cable routing holes for neater-looking builds and better airflow. And, there's a CPU cutout to allow for cooling upgrades without removing the motherboard. The front intake fan filters help keep dust out of the interior, and the front panel has dual USB 3.0 ports for fast performance from USB flash drives and portable hard drives.

"However in India if you're traveling it really is best to do it all in one shot and get it over with and I was on a mission."
- Michael Szewczyk
Tripping for the Indian ice cream
How long had I been on the bus? The dirt on my face read like rings in a tree counting away the hours of the long bumpy ride. I was in travel mode and was doing well. I had caught the bus from Udaipur to Ahmedabad late the night before. Four o'clock in the morning rolled around much too soon and the porter was screaming out "Ahmedabad" waking everyone up. My ticket said the journey was to end here but no one seemed to notice. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep and pretended that my ticket was paid for and then I was on route to Rajkot. The guilty feeling for not paying the extra fare drifted away into the morning sunrise and I remembered all the times the bus drivers had dumped me in the middle of nowhere for some reason or another. Now it was my turn for the free ride.
My destination was the tiny Island of Diu in southern Gujrat. It had been two years since my last visit and now I was returning. Diu was my Mecca and was my sole reason for returning to India.
We arrived in Rajkot (western Gujrat) in the late morning. This was the fourth time I had been there, I still could think of no reason to break my journey and stay the night, though the grumbling in my stomach was telling me otherwise. That feeling of your body telling you "hey boy you better get some rest somewhere because your throwing all of us out of whack". However in India if you're traveling it really is best to do it all in one shot and get it over with and I was on a mission.
I was in luck in Rajkot, there was a direct line to Diu leaving in three hours, not too bad of a wait to be in the middle in nowhere. Rajkot is a typical Indian town that rarely receives any foreign travelers, and you fall prey to the ubiquitous Indian stare, as I call it. The one where every passerby stops and stares you down for at least five minutes checking you out before moving on. You get a lot of "What is your good name?", "What is your country?", etc. Not an unfriendly stare mind you, but just one of curiosity.
The hours sped by either because I was so tired or I just didn't notice it, or the fact that I had recited my name and country over and over to everyone that tried to make conversation with me. One of the few times where I wish I knew some magic tricks. Finally my bus arrived and I grabbed a stash of peanuts for the journey. This was a public bus, not one of those comfortable tourist buses, but a rickety old windowless-hole-in-the-floor contraptions. Public buses in India are an experience, and anyone who wants to see the real India should do the whole country on these wrecks.
Many small villages and cattle crossings later, I could smell the change in the air and knew I would be arriving soon. The sun was fading over the fields and I knew that my reason for coming back to India again would soon be fulfilled.
We passed by Una, the last dumping ground before Diu, then through the small Muslim town of Delwada, and after a short stretch of road we came to the bridge where on the other side awaited my sole purpose in life. The body aches were become bed sores by now and the peanuts had long since vanished. The grumbling in my stomach was becoming a loud roar and it was screaming out "Feed Me!", "Feed Me!".

Everything You Need for a Successful Relocation
1. First things first:
Don't panic! Start by making some preliminary decisions, determining such things as your time frame and service requirements. If you are relocating at the request of your company, you should find out what your relocation benefits are from your company relocation policy.
2. Should it stay or should it go?
Next, you should go through your belongings, determining what you want to take with you (and when you will need it), what you want to place into storage, and what you want to dispose of.
3. Call in the experts:
Having determined which of your belongings will actually come with you, contact your Earth Global Move Specialist and arrange for an in-home survey and consultation. During your Pre-move Consultation, your Global Move Specialist will explain the entire process and inform you about all of the services that are available to help you prepare and plan your entire move:
- Packing
- Transportation and storage options
- Special requirements for pets, vehicles, fragile items, etc.
- Transit protection – All Risk Insurance Your Earth Global Move Specialist will help you to choose the service delivery that best meets your needs. Together, you will choose and schedule your packing and loading day(s).
4. Choosing a shipping Method:
- Ocean Mode: Shipping by sea is an economical mode of transport that works well for most customers. Sea options include:
- Shipping in Liftvan (LCL): Loaded at your residence, liftvans are placed directly into containers. This method is perfect for those requiring storage or those with less than a full container load.
- Shipping in Sole Container (FCL): Your goods are loaded into your own secure sea container. This method can be a cost-effective way to send larger volumes.
- Shipping in Consolidated container: Consolidate your shipment with others and save money, though you'll need to be flexible in the timing of your delivery.
- Air Mode: Shipping by air will get your goods to their destination more quickly, but usually costs much more. For very small volumes, shipping by air can be a better option.
- Land Mode: Inland shipments are suggested for moves happening to/from US, Canada and Mexico
5. Protect your belongings:
After you and your Global Move Specialist have decided how you will transport your belongings, you should go through them again, this time gauging the value of all the items you will not be disposing of. Once you've done that, you can fill out a valued inventory to protect them under the All Risk Insurance Coverage
6. Make your travel plans:
Once you've set a date for your move, you should make your travel arrangements, including temporary accommodation at origin and destination. Earth can help you with this—ask your Global Move Specialist for details.
7. Organize your paperwork:
It is imperative that you begin to take care of all your required documentation as soon as possible. This includes visa applications, passport renewals, customs forms and change of address notices. And, of course, don't forget either your needs-assessment questionnaire or your protection inventory. Earth Global Move Specialist can offer assistance with all the necessary paperwork.
8. Set a little something aside:
Before moving day, set aside all those items that you do not wish to be packed in the shipment. This would include your passport and other important documents, tickets, money, and jewelry among other things. Kindly mark the items that are not supposed to be shipped with bright fluorescent post it notes so that the crew does not pack and load them.
9. Moving Out:
On moving day, Please keep kids away from the packing & moving areas so they do not get hurt while moving furniture pieces, heavy boxes etc. It's imperative that you (or an authorized representative) are there for the whole duration, so you can verify the count and condition of your belongings in relation to the packing inventory, as well as answer any questions that the moving team might have.
10. Packing Inventory Sheet:
As your personal belongings are carefully wrapped and packed, Earth's Crew Supervisor will note each item on a "Packing Inventory Sheet." Once all items have been removed from your home, packed and loaded into the truck or container, they will be numbered and will appear on the packing inventory list. This inventory is a working document from your previous home to your new location.
11. Track Your Shipment Online:
Earth's website lets you track your shipment using any computer with internet access.
12. Arriving in your new country:
Once you arrive in your new home, contact your local Earth Global Move Specialist so you can arrange the delivery of your belongings and start getting settled as soon as possible.
13. Receiving Your Personal Belongings:
Once you've selected your new house and made all the necessary arrangements, it's time for delivery of your belongings! Your local Earth Global Move Agent will confirm:
- the status and delivery date of your personal belongings
- items being transported into local storage (if any)
- details of your pet's transfer (if any)
- orientation tours and other relocation services
Be sure to advise your Consultant if access to your home is difficult, so the Crew will be fully prepared for the delivery.

For months, Microsoft has teased users about what it has in store for them when Windows 10 rolls out. That being said, only this week did we get a clear picture of everything Windows 10 will mean for users. Apps will work across Windows 10 on phones, tablets and notebooks and desktops. Windows 10 also includes an adaptive interface that changes depending on whether touch or a mouse and keyboard or touch is being used. There's plenty more to entice users of every kind.
Read: What is Windows 10?
At this point, the biggest question on user's minds isn't whether Windows 10 will address the issues they have with Windows – Microsoft has stuffed tons of fixes into this upgrade. The question is how and if users will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 when it becomes available. Windows 10 might be a better operating system that's easier to use for some, but upgrading is still as nuanced as it has ever been. Microsoft has confirmed that anyone running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will get the upgrade free in final form. Here's what we know about the upgrade process already.
Upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10
By all accounts, it'll be the easiest thing in the world for Windows 8.1 users to upgrade to Windows 10 when it becomes available. Microsoft hasn't said how the final upgrade will work exactly, but we can extrapolate.
Windows 8.1 was the first time Microsoft rolled out a large update through a method other than Windows Update. Overtime, Microsoft required anyone who wanted to continue getting updates to upgrade to Windows 8.1 through Windows Update eventually, but for the first couple of months users needed to go into the Windows Store and download Windows 8. 1 manually. Presumably, that'll be how users upgrade from Windows 8.1 to the final version of Windows 10.
Today, Windows 8.1 users can upgrade to Windows 10 through the Windows Insider Program. That involves signing up for the program, downloading and installation file, copying that installation file to a disc or USB flash drive and getting through the set up process. Windows 8.1 devices can be upgraded to Windows 10 without a fresh install, meaning users get to keep their programs installed.
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 have virtually identical system requirements. As such, compatibility shouldn't be a problem.
Upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 10
Windows 8 user trying to upgrade to Windows 10, will find themselves in a bit of a jam. Officially, Microsoft treats Windows 8 as Windows 8.1, meaning you should have already upgraded to Windows 8.1 by now. To upgrade to Windows 10 right now, you'll need to install all pending updates – including Windows 8.1 – then upgrade to Windows 10 after joining the Windows Insider Program.
Again, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 have similar hardware requirements. If your PC is running either, than you're in the clear as far as upgrades are concerned.
Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10
Windows 7 is where upgrading to Windows 10 gets very, very interesting. Strictly speaking, Windows 10 is the most direct upgrade for anyone still using Windows 7. The Desktop interface that dominated previous versions of Windows is back in all of its glory. Microsoft has upgraded the Desktop with a new design, apps from the Windows Store and some new Snap suggestions for better multitasking. If you liked Windows 7, you should like Windows 10.
Once again, the upgrade path and system requirements are the same. Windows 7 users are able to upgrade directly to Windows 10. That means they won't be required to install all of their programs again. Hardware compatibility should be fine, provided a device isn't running Windows 7 Starter Edition. That's where system requirements get dicey.
Many of the devices that came with Windows 7 Starter Edition had smaller hard drives. Windows 10 requires at least 16GB of storage to install. Your Windows 7 Starter Edition device may not have that available. If it doesn't you may want to just wait until the final version of Windows 10 rolls out rather than deleting some of your files.
Upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 10
If upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 seemed dicey, going from Windows Vista to Windows 10 is going to be downright painful. In theory it shouldn't be, Windows Vista was the first major upgrade to require faster processors and new hardware. Since Windows Vista Microsoft has basically kept upgrade requirements the same.
The trouble is that Windows Vista isn't a supported operating system any longer. Upgrading to Windows 10 will require Windows Vista users to do what's called a fresh install. In short, expect to install every app to your device again after the update. It doesn't appear as if this will change for the final version of Windows 10 coming later this year.
Read: Windows 10: 3 Things to Back Up Before the Preview
Good luck updating your Windows device to Windows 10. Remember, what you're getting is a test of the final version. Back up your data and make sure that you've backed up your operating system before you upgrade.

Well today has been an up and down day for me. I got to go out with Tiara and her family, we ended up going to the mall, and ED was definitely screaming the whole time. I don't understand how my body image has gotten so much worse since I came here. I thought that this place was supposed to help me get over that. It's so hard to get up each day and look in the mirror because I'm disgusted with what I see staring back at me. It instantly starts my day off bad. Then when you have people that make comments about you, it just makes everything so much worse.
I am scared of how tomorrow is going to go because of the whole Carly situation. It has gotten to a point where I do not feel safe and secure here anymore. Last night was awful, I only slept like two hours and Katie even had to sleep in my bed with me. She said that I cried through the whole entire night. My nightmares were at an all time high. I just don't like feeling that at any moment some drug dealer will be bringing all his friends here and who knows what will happen. This whole situation has really brough up a lot of feelings and memories from my past and my anxiety has been really bad.
Tonight I really came to understand how much I appreciate everyone that is praying for and supporting me through this recovery process. I have seen how others' family and friends have treated them through all of this, and I have to say I am one lucky girl to have everyone I do. Thank you everyone for being there for me.....I wouldn't be able to make it through this if it weren't for you. If there is anything that I am not talking about in this blog that you would like me to message me or call me and I will do my best to start. Love you all, and can't wait to be back home; Happy & HEALTHY!!! <3

HOME WARRANTY … Peace of Mind.
When was the last time you purchased a kitchen appliance, television, or just about anything with an electrical component at one of your area's retail stores? What was the first thing you were asked at the register? Would you like a warranty? For that matter, how would you feel about buying a used car without an extended warranty?
Although some say no, many have said yes. We like the idea of a security blanket. It's called "having piece of mind."
The question I have is why would anybody buy a home without including a home warranty in the purchase? Sure it adds a little bit of cost to the transaction, but is the cost of not having a home warranty too expensive for buyers and sellers to ignore? It looks like many are saying yes. More than half of today's transactions involve a home warranty from one side of the deal or the other.
"It is a decision clients have to make," says John Wilson, broker / owner of Coldwell Banker Traditions.
"The decision is important enough for sellers that we require a signed acceptance or rejection as part of our risk management program
"Sellers are asked at the time of listing their property if they would like their house covered during the listing period. Usually it is a policy that remains in effect for the buyer to use after the sale."
There are as many home warranty options available as the number of companies making the offer. Coldwell Banker Traditions does not require the use of a particular Home Warranty company, but enjoys a good working relationship with HMS Warranty.
"We have been pleased with their products and services," explains Wilson, noting that HMS is one of several programs from which a client can choose. "The selection of a particular Home Warranty company is not mandatory. However, making a decision of whether or not to have a home warranty is."
It should be noted that a home warranty is not the same thing as homeowners insurance, nor is it a replacement for homeowners insurance. Homeowners insurance covers major perils such as fires, hail, property crimes and certain types of water damage that could affect the entire structure and / or the homeowner's personal possessions. A home warranty does not cover these situations. Rather, it covers specific components of the home.
A home warranty is a contract between a homeowner and a home warranty company that provides for discounted repair and replacement service on a home's major components, such as the furnace, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical system. It may also cover major appliances such as washers and dryers, refrigerators and swimming pools. Most plans have a basic component that provides all homeowners who purchase a policy with certain coverages. Homeowners can also purchase one or more optional components that provide additional coverage at additional cost.
Home warranty companies have agreements with approved service providers. When something covered by a home warranty breaks, the homeowner calls the warranty company, and that company sends its service provider to examine the problem. If the needed repair or replacement is covered by the warranty, work is completed. The homeowner then pays an agreed upon service fee. Like all warranties, a home warranty is supposed to protect against expensive, unforeseen repair bills and provide peace of mind.
Now, if having a home warranty really brings peace of mind, would you buy or sell a home without one?

A new ad (watch above) shows what appears to be a bent-over handyman telling his son how to seal a wall crack with U.K.-based Polycell's new spray.
The son dutifully follows the instructions until the big reveal: Dad is one big rear with no torso and no head. But he can sure shoot the you-know-what with his CGI-enabled hole.
"Do it properly," the practical posterior says. "Do it with Polycell."
AdWeek spanked the spot with the headline, "British Advertising Hits New Low With Commercial Starring Talking Butt Crack. Seriously?"
But the advertising world has had other sensitive body parts push product. How about walking and talking noses? Remember those?

These are lean times, but four nonprofit organizations in Broward and Palm Beach counties walked away with a total of $800,000 from Bank of America.
The bank's Charitable Foundation awarded four "2009 Neighborhood Builders" $200,000 apiece and gave a total of 10 "Local Heroes" $5,000 each to give to their charity of choice. The nonprofits will be honored in separate ceremonies in each county. This year, the bank selected 14 "Neighborhood Builders" throughout the state.
In Broward County, Helping Abused Neglected Disadvantaged Youth, Inc. (HANDY) and Women in Distress of Broward County, Inc., both from Fort Lauderdale, were the recipients.
"This is just a wonderful opportunity for us. It's really great to know that there are organizations and people in the community who support us to this extent, who really appreciate what we're trying to do," said Arlene Ratner, executive director of HANDY.
The agency will use its prize money to help youth finish high school and get them in vocational school or college, she said.
In Palm Beach County, Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc., of Lake Worth, and Communities in Schools of Palm Beach County, Inc., of West Palm Beach, were the winners.
Adopt-A-Family said it would use the $200,000 to supplement the federal stimulus money it's receiving for a three-year program to help 200 families find housing.
"Of course, we were ecstatic that we'd received it," said Wendy Tippett, chief executive officer of the organization. "Our commitment is helping families find safe, secure and affordable homes."

Welcome to the Lake in the Park.
The Lake has now been rejuvenated, and was officially "opened" at noon on Tuesday 11 April 2006 .
The former Marine Lake is pictured below.
The Marine Lake is situated on the southerly shore of The River Blackwater within The Promenade Park.
At noon on the 21
July 2003, after a range of improvements, aimed at minimising risks to users,
Councillor Mrs. M J Peel and Councillor J Archer reopened, this popular facility for the summer season of 2003.
During that time the Marine Lake was opened seven days a week between the hours of 10am and 5pm until Sunday 7
September 2003, after which it was closed. A team of lifeguards were employed by the District Council and did patrol the Lake during those opening hours.
Outside these hours, the Lake was closed to the public, and later closed for extensive reconstruction.
On 21
June 1905 the current lake was formerly opened by Lady Rayleigh, the Mayor at this time is Alderman Leonard Bentall.
Tidal inlets of the 1895 lake were replaced by a sluice gate to the River, and the eastern inlet was incorporated, forming about two acres of water.
The Marine Parade was widened and extended in 1925. The recreation ground was extended in 1926, under Mayor Arthur L. Clarke.
The image above is July 2002. Looking west towards St. Mary's Church.
Whilst on the left is about 1908. The notice says "No Paddling", alas the Bathing Hut is no more.
Below is a photo of Maldon Town Regatta 1895 showing the second inlet to the east of the main lake.
In the foreground is the Sailing Barge Dawn under construction.
The Recreation Ground and Marine Parade including the lake was opened on 26
June 1895 by the Mayor Edward. A. Fitch FLS. and is at this time tidal.
The Bath Wall was extended to form the lake enclosing the west creek, and retaining one of the tidal inlets.
A further creek swept around the eastern end of the lake.

Contour+ Camcorder Review
The Contour+ is a compact, rugged, mountable camcorder.
The Contour+ is not an ordinary camcorder. It's a compact, rugged, mountable camcorder that can record HD video at a variety of different resolutions, or take continuous 5-megapixel still photos. There's no LCD or visual display, so to adjust controls or settings on the Contour+ you'll need to use the roundabout method of hooking the camcorder up to a computer and using Contour's free software, or you can link the camcorder to your mobile device using Bluetooth (and Contour's mobile app).
The Contour+ has an MSRP of $499, and that price includes 3 mounts, a 2GB MicroSD card, an HDMI cable, and a 3.5mm external mic cable. Contour sells additional mount camcorders as well—like the ContourGPS and the ContourHD—at lower prices, but the Contour+ is the current flagship model from the company.

The Rise and Fall of Tiger Woods
Round 3. Contestant 1B of the 1st FAM Writing Tournament. Contestants volunteered and were paired and given a random topic to discuss. The authors can write on anything, including parodies. Then 5 judges reviewed the submissions based upon humor, creativity, grammar, and clarity with the chance to win bonus points. More rules can be found in the forums. This pair was given the topic: Tiger Woods
The Rise and Fall of Tiger Woods
by: M4
The Introduction of Tiger Woods
Once upon a time, there was a little African-American kid named Eldrick who could hold a golf club (and by hold a golf club, I mean he would become the greatest golfer ever). Well, he was part African-American. He was a whole smorgasbord of racial ethnicities, if we're keeping track. African, Caucasian, Native American, Thai, Chinese, Dutch, and probably a handful of others that he didn't even know about. He called himself Cablinasian, a nod to his diverse racial makeup, but everyone else just called him Tiger.
From the jump, this kid took to golf like Irina Shayk takes to a bikini. This little sonofabitch shot a score of 48 over 9 holes at 3 years old, or so the legend trolls. At age 5, he made the cover of Golf Digest. He even found himself on television; putting with Bob Hope, and was featured on the popular show "That's Incredible". If that wasn't enough, at the ripe old age of 8, Tiger won the Junior World Golf Championship. The kid could have hit Alcatraz from the Golden Gate Bridge with a 9 iron, he was just that good. "Wonder-boy" Tiger Woods was a natural born golfing prodigy, and he knew it.
At age 8, he first broke 80 (over 18 holes). At age 11, he broke 70. I repeat: at age ELEVEN, he broke SEVENTY! Clearly, this guy was hated on from an early age. Perhaps all of the dirty looks and consternation he surely received for dominating a sport that frequently turns rational, confident men into sniveling puddles of estrogen, helped him develop the icy, unshakable nerves that he would later become known for.
Throughout his teenage years, when other boys his age were sneaking into "R" rated movies or insulting each other's moms, Tiger continued to hone his craft while kicking ass up and down the golf course. First ever three-time U.S. Junior Amateur champ? Check. Golf Digest Junior Amateur Player of the Year? Check. Golf World Player of the Year? Golfweek National Amateur Player of the Year? Then-youngest ever winner of the U.S. Amateur Championship? Check, check, motherfuckin' check! He lined 'em up, and he knocked 'em down. At age 18, Woods was named "Most Likely to Succeed" by his graduating class. They thought they knew, but they had no idea.
Tiger attended Stanford University, and his college years were really just more of the same: he played golf, and he won. He won his first ever collegiate tournament, he defended his U.S. Amateur title, he won PAC 10 Player of the Year, he won the NCAA individual golf championship, he was named NCAA All-American, and in 1995, Tiger Woods played in his first ever PGA tour event – The Masters. Tiger would not win this edition of the Masters, though he was the only amateur to make the cut en route to finishing 41st. He would, however, set the stage for the most dominating performance that Augusta National would ever witness.
In 1996, Tiger Woods turned pro, and a new American Idol had emerged. Nike and Titleist signed him to immense endorsement deals. He was named Sports Illustrated's "Sportsman of the Year" as well as the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, and in August, 1997, he absolutely curb-stomped the competition to win his first Master's title. Tiger set tournament records for margin of victory and total 4 day score, and became the youngest ever Master's champion. Tiger was a shooting star, racing through the cosmos and owning the golf world like no one else, including the previous master chef of the golf world, the Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus.
The rise of Tiger Woods was in full effect, as the dude set the record for fastest ever ascent to the #1 world-ranking. All of a sudden, everybody liked golf. Kids in the ghetto liked golf. Housewives in the suburbs liked golf. People who hated golf suddenly found themselves glossing over Tiger's accomplishments by the water cooler. Tiger was no longer just the best golfer in the world, he had become a cultural icon.
Over the next 6 years, Tiger's reign of terror over the highest level of golfing competition was Mike Tyson-esque. His aura appeared so invincible, that many an opponent were effectively beaten before ever teeing off on the first hole. Tiger finished 1999 with 8 tour wins, which hadn't been done since the 70's. In 2000, he reeled off 6 straight wins, including the U.S. Open, which he won by 15 strokes. This performance was hailed by Sports Illustrated as the most impressive in "golfing history", and the hits kept coming; Tiger won, Tiger broke records, Tiger made bank, and the world rejoiced.
By now, you get the picture. Hurricane Tiger had a couple of "down" years (by his standards), but for the majority of 1997-2009, Tiger was far and away the greatest professional athlete in the world. He had 71 total tour victories, including an astounding 14 majors, to go with a myriad of records and accomplishments. He had made hundreds of millions of dollars, and was the media's golden boy. Tiger married a stunningly beautiful Norwegian model named Elin, fathered 2 children with her, and presented the public image as a proud family guy. Tiger had life by the balls, until one fateful night in November, 2009, when this happened…
Fallen Tiger, Hidden Kitty
There's no way to sugarcoat the fall of Tiger Woods. Elin discovered what Tiger had kept hidden from the world for so long: the man loved to party. He was a certifiable freak. Rumors trickled out that Elin went through Tiger's phone (wouldn't you know!) and saw some pretty damning texts and pictures from other women; from his concubines.
Apparently, Elin had no idea that Tiger got wild with chicks in every major city across the U.S. (and probably the world). He had a problem with painkillers, that problem being that he couldn't get enough. He ran through more ass than Taco Bell. The dude was getting dome before, during, and after tournaments. Dozens of women would claim to have had a sexual relationship with Tiger. Oh yeah, he got down.
And when Elin found out, she lost her shit like most married women living under the false pretense that her relationship was solid would… she grabbed one of his golf clubs and attacked him with it.
Word got out, Tiger apologized for his behavior, sponsors dropped him like a bad habit, and Tiger's personal and professional life were now a lot less like Camelot, and a lot more like Jacksonville – a big shit hole.
The man was no longer larger than life, he was just a great golfer who claimed to have fallen into the trap of entitlement. He said he was wrong, apologized profusely, sought therapy, and swore that he would strive to be a better man, father, and husband. Of course, Elin divorced his ass no less than 6 months later, taking not only custody of the kids, but a cool 750 MILLION dollars.
And so goes the tale of the child prodigy who grew up knowing nothing but the feeling of victory, of "win". He kicked life in the dick all day every day, without resistance. Without adversity. Without fail. He developed a narcissistic, almost mythical sense of himself, believing himself to be the superhuman that the world claimed him to be. Until, in the end, he is humbled, and discovers that he is not superhuman, he is almost human, and he has ungratefully assumed the role of king, only to end up the court jester.
Sure, he's still wealthier beyond one's imagination. He is now dating another blonde bombshell, Lindsay Vonn, and he is still recognized as the best golfer in the world. But he has not won a major tournament since the curtain was unmercifully ripped away, and chronic injury has called his future as a golfer into question. As it stands, his only professional goal can be the major's title held by Nicklaus. A record once so close, yet now so far away.
As Tiger stares into his future, does he feel a whirlpool of regret cascading down his cheek, tears that betray his Ivan Drago-like resolve? Or will he prove to be more like Apollo Creed – an aging has-been champion who crumbles under the pressure of one last grasp at glory?

dinner, drinks, and disastrous dates
Online dating is portrayed by online dating sites and apps to be fun, flirtatious, and a great way to get to know people. While it can sometimes be these things, I regret to inform you that there are some really shitty guys (and probably girls) out there. I felt like it was necessary to put together a collaborative post that really encompassed some of the … Continue reading dinner, drinks, and disastrous dates
can you lose something you never had?
I was watching the movie "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days" and the part where Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) says "you can't lose something you never had" really got me thinking. There are too many guys I've dated that I never really dated – you know, we "talked" but we never officially dated. So how come when we stopped hanging out/talking/whatever we stopped … Continue reading can you lose something you never had?
politics and dating
When I was younger, my dad always used to tell me that there are two things you never discuss with people you don't really know – religion and politics. As I grew up and became aware of the controversy surrounding both of these topics, I understood why this was something my dad believed in. However, with the current political state in America, I think that … Continue reading politics and dating

The Day After Tomorrow, dir. R. Emmerich (2005)
Another vision of the extinction of the human species is associated with the onset of a new ice age. A climatologist, Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), discovers that as a result of disturbances in the North Atlantic Drift, the Earth will experience a global catastrophe, and a series of natural disasters (tropical storms, floods, destructive hailstorms) is only the beginning of the apocalypse. Everything that is located too far from the Equator will be frozen to the bone. The apocalypse of 2004 would impact a large collection of data carriers – ranging from hard disks, CDs and DVDs, VHS tapes, up to and including flash memory drives.
Data carriers
- Hard disks
- CDs and DVDs
- VHS tapes
- Flash memory drives
Destroying forces
- Water damage
- Freezing
Would it be possible to retrieve the data?
Low temperature is far less damaging to the data than heat. Data saved on a flash drive is even more durable when the device operates in a low temperature. However, the cold in conjunction with water (including humidity in the air) can be dangerous as it can cause mechanical damage which may result in data loss. Despite that, data retrieved from frozen territories depicted in the film could be successfully recovered. The important thing is to keep the equipment in a low temperature for a long period of time and switch on only after a while, after it has "thawed out" at room temperature. This will prevent moisture from condensing and causing the electronic parts of the device to short-circuit.

China Eastern Airlines to increase frequency in IndiaSeptember 27th, 2008 - 10:45 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Sep 27 (IANS) China Eastern Airlines, which connects Delhi and Kolkata with three Chinese cities - Shanghai, Beijing and Kunming - will increase its operations in India from next month, airline sources said.According to airline officials, the carrier will add one more flight on its Delhi-Shanghai-Beijing route, which currently has a frequency of four flights a week.
The company will fly daily from three flights a week on Kolkata-Kunming route by the end of next month. However, the airline is yet to get a clearance from the Indian government, but it expects to get it in next few days.
Edward Zhu Xuemin, airline's representative in India, said it would promote Kunming, a famous tourist destination. The Kolkata-Kunming flight offers the shortest connectivity - it takes two-and-a-half hours.
Kunming also offers excellent connectivity to other destinations in mainland China. "We can offer good packages to travellers from Delhi and Kolkata to Kunming and Shanghai" an airline official said.

Eating broccoli may keep genetic skin disorder at bayDecember 3rd, 2007 - 11:52 am ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 3 (ANI): Eating broccoli is a very good idea for people suffering from a devastating genetic skin disorder, say researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, who found that a natural compound present in the green vegetable could help treat the disorder.
The disorder in question is called epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), which results from mutations in the genes encoding keratin 5 or keratin 14. The mildest form of EBS leads to blistering of the hands and feet since these are most susceptible to frequent abrasion.
Researchers led by Pierre Coulombe found that the compound sulforaphane whose natural precursors are found at high levels in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables can help treat this disorder.
Sulforaphane has already been hailed for its chemopreventive powers against cancer.
Coulombe and colleagues turned to sulforaphane in their search for a chemical activator that would induce the production of missing keratins in basal epidermis.
There are 54 conserved keratin proteins in mammals — meaning that evolution favoured their survival. Many of these keratins are closely related in their genetic sequences and their properties and by their distribution within epithelial tissues.
The researchers reasoned that such a situation breeds functional redundancy, meaning that the genetic loss of one keratin could be partially rescued by the overlapping functions of a keratin cousin.
Guided by prior evidence that partial redundancy was at work, the boffins used this as a basis for therapy in EBS.
In EBS patients, skin blisters heal without scarring, correlating with an induction in the expression of the protein K6, to which K5 is related, and of K17 and K16, to which K14 is related. In transgenic mouse models, these keratins are indeed partially redundant in their ability to provide structural support in skin keratinocytes.
When mice with EBS with a K14 deficiency were exposed to sulforaphane, the researchers noted that it significantly reduced epidermal blistering while it was ineffective for a K5 deficient mouse. Sulforaphane still has a long way to go before it can be tested clinically with EBS patients, but the researchers noted that extracts from broccoli sprouts rich in sulforaphane have already been shown to be safe for use in human skin.
The study was reported at the American Society for Cell Biology 47th Annual Meeting. (ANI)

Exuberant worship has always been a hallmark of the Pentecostal experience. On the Day of Pentecost, crowds gathered to observe believers caught up in an ecstasy of worship. Their behaviour must have seemed rowdy and disruptive, since the outpouring was "noised abroad" and Peter offered the famous qualifier: "For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that spoken by the Prophet Joel" (Acts 2.15-16). Today, most of our noisy services are conducted in well-built churches, behind closed doors and windows. But in the early days of the movement, neighbors and entire neighborhoods were "disturbed" by the goings on at "Holy Roller" meetings characterized by vociferous singing, shouting, fervent preaching, and speaking in tongues. The cacophony which came from revival tents or open windows in overheated structures often drew potential converts, curious onlookers, and law enforcement. This article draws on the journalistic record that reveals the persistence of strepitant saints who were often called to account for their marathon meetings.
The earliest descriptions of the Azusa Street meetings appeared in the April 18, 1906 edition of the Los Angeles Time and complained of the noisy services: ". . . night is made hideous by the howlings of the worshipers who spend hours swaying forth and back in a nerve-racking attitude of prayer and supplication" ("Weird Babel . . . "). By summer, police were visiting the mission to control the enthusiasm of Azusa saints:
The 'holy kickers' present a problem which the local police department has not as yet been able to solve. Every night worn-out kickers and shouters are seen stretched out on the dirty floor of the meeting room apparently unconscious and the meeting goes on just the same, those who still have breath jumping, kicking and making the night hideous with their yells and squeals. ("'Holy Kickers' Baffle Police")
In August 1906, two evangelists from the Azusa Mission were taken down to Central Station by police for holding street meetings. Mrs. J. Wiley and C. Woodside were conducting curbside evangelism. Apparently, their fervency had "so disturbed the neighborhood that the police were forced to take up the permit allowing them to preach" ("'Holy Roller' Has It Bad"). Sis. Wiley, undeterred, continued to preach and sing to the patrolmen on her way to the police station.
As the revival spread beyond the Apostolic Faith Mission at 312 Azusa Street, Pentecostals were consistently plagued by complaints against their boisterous gatherings. In the summer of 1908, the Apostolic Faith meetings held by Brothers R.A. Garrison, a black preacher, and J.W. Sykes, a white preacher, came under extreme scrutiny for "disturbing the peace." Patrolman J.P. Lyons was quoted by the Los Angeles Herald:
"I passed there about 8:30 o'clock, and I saw a woman . . . shouting, screaming, writhing and speaking some sort of doggerel which they call 'the unknown tongue.' The woman was in a frenzy and declared that she was moved by the [S]pirit and that the everlasting fires were raging within her . . . She continued these antics until midnight, and then fell exhausted to the floor. She was picked up by some of the congregation and placed upon chairs until she could be revived." ("Holy Rollers Rave . . . ")
Garrison and Sykes eventually faced trial for "disturbing the peace" but avoided prosecution when witnesses failed to materialize at their August court appearance ("Prosecution of 'Holy Rollers' . . . ).
In some cases, civic authorities sought to impose a curfew on boisterous worshipers. In 1918, a Pentecostal Assemblies of the World church was asked to end services by 10 PM when 62 neighbors signed a petition the City of Lodi, California ("Householders . . . "). As late as the 1920s, a "Holy Roller" church in Waukegan, Illinois was presented with a 9 PM curfew, because their services were deemed disruptive by sleepless neighbors ("Holy Rollers Must . . . "). The right to peaceful slumber trumped the freedom to worship!
Business owners sometimes complained of Pentecostal neighbors. In Tacoma, Washington, a sensational headline reads: "Holy Rollers Disturb Dead." According to the article, members of the Apostolic Faith Mission, located on the 2nd floor above a mortuary, were disrupting funeral services with their incessant " . . . talking in 'tongues' shouting and howling" ("Holy Rollers . . . "). One wonders at the wisdom of both landlord and tenant in such an unlikely arrangement!
Even in the South where emotional Christianity had a long history, Pentecostals were subject to persecution for their raucous revivals. In East Chattanooga, Tennessee one Henegar Trim was held on $250 bond (nearly $6000 in modern currency) after Justice Parks declared his Apostolic Faith services a nuisance: "Prominent citizens swore that the services ran late into the night, and hideous shrikes and curses rent the air" ("Tennessee Gets Dose . . . "). A.J. Tomlinson , who became the first general overseer of the Pentecostal demonization, Church of God was arrested during a revival campaign in Cleveland, Tennessee July 1909. A "Mr. Beard" registered a complaint against the Pentecostals; and within a week, Tomlinson was arrested. After Tomlinson and his followers marched in protest of a $5.00 fine, an injunction was issued disallowing Tomlinson from erecting his revival tent within city limits! (Robins 194-196).
Certainly, Pentecostals did not intend to become a public nuisance. In their evangelistic fervor, they were often unbridled in their worship. It is easy for our modern generation to look critically upon our unsophisticated antecedents who thought nothing of rolling around in sawdust and straw for hours on end, calling out to God at the top of their lungs and caring little for the comfort of their neighbors. Regardless of their perceived un-neighborliness, their spiritual stamina is admirable, even awesome. Today, it is difficult to imagine attending high energy, nightly worship services that last until the wee hours of the morning. Could our flaccid faith even sustain us through such marathon meetings? Pentecost may have, in fact, lost some of its evangelistic impact by barricading ourselves behind brick and mortar. The experience of the earliest Pentecostals wasn't noised abroad through billboards or television slots but through amplified apostolic worship! While we cannot equate volume with anointing, we can look back to our unabashedly Pentecostal pioneers and marvel at their faithfulness in the face of opposition.
