How the ball began to roll
The idea of Lure of MECCG was started in 1999 during a Lord of the Rings Convention at castle Hohensolms in Germany, where a handful of dedicated METW players met and pitied themselves, that there are so few chances to play the game. So we planned for our own METW convention a year later at the same castle, inviting all METW friends we knew. That was in 2000, and from then on Lure of MECCG became not only an annual event in March/April, but also the largest MECCG convention worldwide, located at an atmospheric castle in the heart of Europe. There are many reports and photos, also a Lure video in the Archive, that prove, how alive MECCG still is.
What is it all about
From the beginnig the idea behind Lure of MECCG was just having fun with our beloved cards. It is known that there ain't better company than amont MECCG friends, so we wanted to create a place, where some friends may meet to share a good time. No important tournaments or championships are played at the Lure. Instead we want to offer some innovative ways to play our game.
Of course traditional tournaments like general opponent or sealed deck are not missing, but you'll also get the chance to play scenario tournaments, try out new developed card-concepts, have a sealed tourney with foreign cards and never miss the Drinking Game! Another important goal of Lure is to offer new players to start the game. Many of us remember their first steps into MECCG as something fascinating, but also very complex and confusing, especially if you didn't ever play any CCG. With the help of well experienced players you'll find no better chance to enter the world of MECCG. If someone is looking for some alternatives, there is also the chance to play some boardgames. Maybe you want to bring your own favorites.
Finally it's paradise for all MECCG collectors meeting players from nations like Japan, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands and many more.
Lord of the Rings LCG at the LURE
This game is something new since 2015. Not only the traditional METW is played since then, but also many Lord of the Rings LCG players come to the event to play the new game from Fantasy Flight. There will be many casual tournaments and Fellowship event. If you have any questions regarding this game you can contact Dominik (email@example.com).
Something special
… is the Lure Drinking Game. The idea was started most dignified: some friends sitting together for some mugs of beer and philosophizing on how to add some drinking fun to MECCG. So we have been talking about some Drinking Game Dream Cards, and since Lure of MECCG II such Dream Cards have been the spice to every Drinking Game at the castle, which became famous and inevitable.
One who has been at Lure of Middle-earth once, is bound to come again. All others don't know yet, what they are missing, but there is some remedy. So be sure to look out for the oncoming Lure of Middle-earth.

Reay GC is a few miles West of Thurso on the North coast of the Scottish mainland and is an 18 Hole links course measuring 5628 yards par 69 from the Yellow Tees. I played the course after my earlier round at Durness GC on 23 August 2012. The wind that had so influenced scoring at Durness had reduced to little more than a breeze and conditions were ideal for a relaxing game on a course that was almost deserted. Reay's fairways are generously wide and with the course in great condition overall, this looked as though it could be a course to savour. The first 6 holes are pretty flat and easy walking, the best being the 6th, a 442 Yard Par 5 that extends to a more meaty 500 yards off the Medal Tee. I'd hit a decent drive and 3 Wood to just short of the green, getting a break by narrowly missing this hidden water hazard en route. The course becomes more hilly from the 7th, a 192 Yard Par 3 played uphill and over a stream that plays far longer than it looks, so take at least one more club than you might otherwise. I was just short with a 3 Wood!
This is the 9th green and a rare good view of the sea. This is a 162 Yard Par 3 and a decent hole at the far end of the course. A wooden bench commemorates a now deceased club member with the epitaph "Hole in one, ya beauty!" I missed the green but settled for par after a good pitch. The Back 9 is good but for every downhill hole another went up and by the closing holes I was regretting my decision not to take a pull trolley and to persevere with an old pair of golf shoes. Carrying my bag certainly helps keep me fit for my caddying work at The Renaissance Club, but I still had some courses to play and was glad to finish Reay just as yet more rain started in earnest.
This is the green at the 18th, a 318 Yard Par 4, slightly uphill. I'd just missed the green in regulation, my ball trickling back into this nasty looking bunker. I got the ball out OK, but over 20 feet away. My single putt from there was pretty good, meaning I'd gone round in 80, net 69 and even net par, with 29 putts. Reay is a good links course with generously wide fairways and is worth a visit. It lacks the drama of Durness, but few courses come near that particular Highland gem.


text: Fallout Latest in Popular Video Game Series to Be Set in West Virginia By Liz McCormick • Jun 11, 2018 Bethesda Softworks, LLC Listen Listening... / 2:43 Listen to the story. West Virginia will be the setting for the latest in a video game series with an international following. The game will feature landscapes, folklore and well-known locations from around the state in a post-apocalyptic time period.


text:
The book begins with a bloody tableau of broken bodies and a squawking radio (that no one will answer because everyone is dead). We see a pair of inhuman hands smash the radio to bits, but we don't find out who they're attached to. Page two brings us to Central Park, where a girl named Prosper is out hunting zebra with her friend Angus, as one does in a New York City that's been reclaimed by Mother Nature in the wake of some as yet unspecified cataclysmic event. With her bow and arrow, Prosper seems cut from the same cloth as The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen. She's clearly resourceful, fiercely loyal, and is guided by a strong moral compass that drives her to go against the grain when her conscience demands it.
Trifogli has gone with a rather sunny palette considering the book's post-apocalyptic foundation, but the coloring makes more sense when you get to the weird parts. Like we said, Hinterkind isn't your everyday dystopia. The title refers to the winged, horned, and all around bizarre creatures that have risen up as the tide of humanity has been pushed back. These strange chimaera populate the earth, hunting for "free range humans." Fiction of this genre tends to verge into the scientific more than the fantastical, but Hinterkind manages to blend a bleak speculative future with a vibrant mythology fresh from a fairytale.

text: An Alicante Province man was mauled to death in what was a vicious attack by his neighbour's five dogs (pictured in a shelter), who have now been put to sleep on the orders of a court. The 66-year-old was discovered by his son lying on the ground covered in wounds caused by bites from the dogs, all crosses between pit bulls and bull terriers. The victim left his home in Beniarbeig in the Marina Alta area on Saturday to tend to his vegetables nearby. When his son realised he had been gone a long time, he went to look for him and found him lying on the ground in a "horrific scene", according to the Guardia Civil. There are no dangerous wild animals in the area, and suspicion soon fell on a neighbour whose dogs have caused problems in the past. "The dogs didn't have any trace of blood on them, but police realised that one of them was soaking wet, as if it had just been washed," the Guardia Civil said. "The owner alleged he had fallen in the pool." DNA samples were taken from the dogs which confirmed they killed the man and they owner is now set face charges of involuntary manslaughter. The dogs were taken to a shelter at Els Poblets where they bit two workers and destroyed the cage they were kept in.

Everyone loves a guy with a sense of humor, and finding the right way to portray your humor is always an exciting challenge. If you are the guy looking to play the perfect practical joke or bring laughter to a serious situation, you needn't look further than your closet. Your mens zipper ties are just the thing for showcasing your inner jokester. Since mens zipper ties are already tied perfectly, you can adorn just about anything with one.
- Use one of your zipper ties to dress up a teddy bear for that special someone. Maybe that teddy bear is going to have a special gift strung onto the tie. Wouldn't that be a fun way to propose?
- Your zipper ties may prove a humorous way to decorate the Christmas tree, and your children will have a good laugh when they find the ties hanging mysteriously on Christmas morning.
- Embellish one of your mens silk ties to create a unique door hanging, whether it's a do not disturb message or a maid service request.
Mens silk ties are funny choices for adorning presents or for piquing curiosity. Having some fun ties embellished with specific messages will prove the best way to get a laugh, no matter the venue.

Donald Trump plans to release his medical records in two weeks time and the details, he claims, will "show perfection."
As a presidential candidate, I have instructed my long-time doctor to issue, within two weeks, a full medical report-it will show perfection— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2015
The 69-year-old billionaire is the second-oldest White House hopeful, behind Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, 74, and would be the oldest individual to ever become president if he were to be inaugurated in January 2017 at age 70.
Trump announced his decision to release a doctor's report on his health within hours of a Politico report Thursday morning that raised concerns about the businessman's eating habits and exercise regimen — or lack thereof.
"Over the course of his presidential campaign, Trump has said that he does not exercise or play sports regularly and that he eats whatever he wants — a diet heavy on bacon and steak," Politico's Ben Schreckinger wrote.
"In September, Trump's discomfort during the second Republican primary debate, which lasted three hours, was visible. Afterward, he complained that the room was too hot and that the debate went on too long," the report continued.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

Imagine working with a colleague that opposes your political beliefs. What do you do?
The larger part of social happiness isn't emotion. It's mental arithmetic. The sum of your expectations, your ideals, and your acceptance of what you can't change determines everyday habits and choices. This formula steers performance.
Everyone's sum is unique.
Two opposing behaviors may turn a situation into pointless discomfort. Compassion and active listening are fundamental relationship skills. Performance flourishes into empowerment by mental shifting.
A flexible response to opposing political views may be to share feelings of discomfort. The time discussing politics replaces discussing work objectives or team-building while at work. Directing attention on feelings that oppose productive work relationships may offer a compassionate response.
Switch the mind-set from what isn't relatable to what is.
Columbia University psychologist George Bonanno reports when we switch a mind-set based on others preference it requires an ability to tolerate discomfort. This upside to negative emotions provides optimal results in every situation. Some nail this skill but typically only in one or two of their life roles.
Questions to Ask:
- How do your social preferences differ from those you work with?
- What communication style (texting, email, in-person) is the common behavior standard at work?
- What personal behavior standards conflict with workplace behavior standards?
Support experiencing this adversity with the necessary sensory or contextual elements. For instance, an audible conversation in place of texting or within a convenient time to converse with less distractions. Preparing the body for mental-shifting with nervous system calming techniques is another sensory element. Plan to process information following mind-shifting with physical activity.

Since registration for the GRE� revised General Test opened on March 15, Educational Testing Service (ETS) has seen a significant number of registrations from candidates seeking half-price savings and a more test-taker friendly experience, company officials report.
"We are excited to be able to offer a discounted fee in these first two months of testing, and encourage candidates to take advantage of this opportunity," said David Payne, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ETS's Higher Education Division. "We are confident that when testing begins on August 1, test takers will be pleased with the new design that will give them more flexibility in how they take the test."
The GRE revised General Test will include new types of questions and new design features that will contribute to a friendlier test-taking experience. Featuring advanced technology that lets test takers move back and forth, edit or change answers, and skip and return to questions within a section, candidates will now have the freedom to use more of their own personal test-taking strategies and style.
Registration for the GRE revised General Test is now available on the GRE website. Prospective test takers registering to take the GRE revised General test in August or September 2011 will receive a 50 percent discount on their test fee. Seats are expected to fill up quickly, so ETS encourages prospective applicants to register as soon as they know when they need their scores. ETS also reminds candidates to pay close attention to application deadlines. If a school requires scores before November 2011, applicants need to take the current GRE General Test before August. This is because those who take the GRE revised General Test between August and November 2011 will receive scores according to a special score reporting schedule. Normal score reporting � 10�15 days after testing � will resume in December 2011.
"There are a variety of resources for prospective test takers looking for more information about the GRE revised General Test, preparation materials, test dates, locations and more," adds Payne. "TakeTheGRE.com and the GRE page on facebook are two new sites test takers can visit to ask questions and get information directly from the source as well as from their peers."

Project title: IT Education as an activating factor of adults from areas under danger of unemployment
General information about the project
The project concerns adults who are looking for a job because they are unemployed or would like to change their present occupation but due to various reasons, especially connected with their environment, face difficulties in finding a job. The project program is aimed at people living in various weakly urbanized environments: countryside and small towns. The accomplishment of the project is a multistep program. Based on statistical data, in the initial phase of a project, target regions were defined and essential contacts with local representatives were made. The courses to be accomplished in the first step of the project were determined and their programs prepared:

Skip Calendar
Two of the above courses have already been carried out in a traditional way by the institutions that prepared the programs. After translating into national languages of the project partners the courses will be carried out in all participating countries. The accomplishment of the project will be based on blended learning, i. e., will involve traditional and modern teaching methods connected with IT. Due to the peculiarity of the project the main stress will be put on distant learning. Therefore in the second stage of the project the courses will be implemented on the e-learning platform Moodle, adjusted to the requirements of the project. In the final stage of the project all courses will be available on the e-learning platform Moodle and can serve as a support to traditional courses offered e. g., by Employment Agencies or can be treated as fully independent courses. As a supplement to courses, guides to courses and leaflets will be prepared.
The project is supported by European Commission as part of the Socrates Grundtvig 2 program (LLP).

Do you ever catch yourself asking someone "How did you think of that?" We all have. It is always a great question because it helps you understand how people think – if they answer it honestly. Although, most of the time the answer is "it just came to me."
So how did they think of that great idea? I have gathered 5 eye-opening points that have helped me stay creative over the years.
- Diversify yourself. Step outside of your comfort zone. If you only watch sports, try watching a chick flick. If you go home every day after work, take up a hobby or two. If you make a ham sandwich for lunch everyday, go out. You get the idea. The key is that you need to keep yourself diversified. Try as many different things as you can. Take beer for example. You like to enjoy an ice-cold beer on a Friday night, right? You have choices. Instead of going home and pulling another cold one from the fridge you could go to the corner brewery. You could also dress up a little and go to Cliff Bell's and listen to some great jazz while enjoying that brew or an old-fashioned. When you diversify yourself you open your eyes to things you may not normally think of or pay attention to. Anything can spark an idea. If you do the same things every day you are stuck in one target market that you may never be trying to appeal to. In turn, the ideas that you come up with may only appeal to your specific market and not necessarily the target market you are shooting for.
- Go outside. When is the last time you took a walk around the block or a bike ride? It seems really simple but it opens your mind. Just sitting at your desk does not always cut it. Sights, sounds, textures, and the like spark things in your mind. Have you ever heard of the American Family Life Assurance Company? Not unless I said AFLAC. In one of my graduate branding courses we learned the story of the AFLAC duck. How did they come up with that idea? The creatives at Kaplan Thaler went to lunch in an outdoor patio. They saw a duck. They kept repeating the word AFLAC. It started to sound like a duck. The rest is history. After they spent countless hours of brainstorming, all it took was them to take a walk outside and go to lunch. Go outside.
- Research other industries. If you are in automotive do not just look for other ideas in the automotive circles. Look at the ideas that are being developed in other industries and see how it can relate your own. I am by no means telling you to steal someone's idea. What I am telling you is to see how you can learn from it and potentially apply it to something else. You can always learn from others. The day you stop learning is the day you have failed yourself.
- Keep notes. I have probably lost more good ideas than I could ever remember. The problem is that I did not write them down. Type it, write it, scribble it, draw it, whatever works. Just get it down on paper. Even though the idea may not be the best idea now it may spark something else or you may see it in a different light later. A good friend of mine was stuck in traffic a couple of months ago and out of nowhere came up with one of the best ideas I have heard in quite a while, a real game changer. By the time he was out of the backup he had already written down page after page of notes in an old notebook he kept for that very purpose. Don't let the ideas slip away.
- Listen. Whether it is a story, a newscast, or your spouse, yes your spouse, listen. I like to bounce ideas off my friends too. Listen to what they have to say. There is always something that you may not have thought of or an angle you have never ventured toward before. Everyone's mind works differently. Listening is what helps fine tune your idea from what would be very good to something remarkable.
Reflect on these points from time to time. Stay hungry. Keep your mind sharp. That next great idea is just around the corner. What else do you do to keep your creative side fulfilled?

Meet Sammy Njuguna Smith, born 27th May 1994. Sammy has a story.
Sammy is Kenyan. He holds a 2015 KSCE qualification from secondary school (high school). This is unique because Sammy was a street boy, though he did not start life out that way. His education is unique because by age 8, Sammy had a business and some savings, but did not go to school. It is unique because while running his self-survival business, he disliked school and church because he could not understand them since he had not been taken to school.
Fast forward 12 years and we see Sammy studying for his final exams, and helping an international team of child protection specialists put a paedophile in prison. That suspect, Simon Harris, was convicted in a UK courtroom in December of 2014 and sentenced to prison in February of 2015.
Sammy lives in the small Rift Valley town of Gilgil, in the East African country of Kenya. His early years were spent in Nakuru, a slightly larger town about 40 km from Gilgil. It is in this area of the Rift Valley that Kenya experienced the worst of its post-election inter-tribal violence after the 2007 elections. Many children were left without whole families, and many families were left without homes or possessions. Kenya has worked hard to help remedy the damage.
Sammy met Cynthia in the summer of 2013, when she traveled to Gilgil with the team of UK specialists investigating the allegations against Simon Harris. Sammy wanted to be a lawyer for children like Cynthia and her staff from The Cradle-The Children Foundation in the big city of Nairobi. He told her things about how street boys think and what matters to them. He eventually began to tell her about his own life and she encouraged him to write it all down.
This clean cut young man sporting a crisp white shirt, and warm and engaging smile is a street boy. He discovered a love for education during his survival business years and spent his daily efforts finding ways to earn enough money for school fees and food. Sometimes he had to rely on the benevolence of towns people and teachers when the days became too difficult.
But what Sammy has never done is give up. And he has incredibly pertinent, present-day lessons to offer, whether you are from a developed country or a developing country. Sammy hopes his story inspires other young people to push through to a better life, as he does daily in his pursuit to find his way to college and university.
He has written his story and you can begin to read it here.

|[jira] Updated: (DERBY-503) Documentation should recommend using .newInstance() to instantiate JDBC driver
|Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:36:44 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-503?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Kim Haase updated DERBY-503: ---------------------------- Attachment: DERBY-503.stat DERBY-503.zip DERBY-503.diff Attaching DERBY-503.diff, DERBY-503.zip, and DERBY-503.stat. After further thought, I decided that it makes sense to document the use of newInstance() only in the unusual situation where it is actually required: if you are using the embedded driver and you need to stop Derby and restart it in the course of the application. In that case, you need to call newInstance() when you call Class.forName() to reload the driver. There are three places in the Developer's Guide and one in the Reference Manual where it is useful to mention this. The rest of the time there is no need for newInstance(). I've still made some corrections: changing "JDK 1.6" and "JDK 1.5" to "JDK 6" and "JDK 5" where needed; changing "put" to "setProperty" when using java.util.Properties (recommended usage); fixing some formatting and index terms in the Reference Manual. The updates to "java.sql.Driver interface" (rrefjdbc32052.dita) include adding information about the client driver -- it mentioned only the embedded driver up to now. These changes also fix DERBY-2958. The patch now has the following changes, to 10 files: Admin Guide: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/cadminembeddedserver.html (How to start an embedded server from an application): Removed use of newInstance(), fixed JDK 6 reference. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/radminembeddedserverex.html (Embedded server example): Fixed Properties code and JDK 6 reference, removed newInstance(), changed ClientDriver to EmbeddedDriver. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/radminappsclientxmp.html (Network client driver examples): Fixed Properties code and JDK 6 reference, fixed a couple typos. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/cadminappsxawthdriver.html (Using XA with the network client driver): Fixed sample to remove driver instantiation entirely (it is not needed), updated datasource property settings and code spacing. Dev Guide: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/cdevdvlp40653.html (Derby JDBC driver): Added explanation of when to use newInstance(). Fixed JDK 5 & 6 references and some typos. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/tdevdvlp20349.html (Shutting down the system): Removed references to garbage collection and added explanation of how to use newInstance() to reload the driver. Also corrected JVM reference and updated error log message. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/tdevdvlp36289.html (Specifying attributes in a properties object): Added explanation of use of Class.forName(). Fixed formatting, Properties code. Ref Manual: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefclob.html (CLOB data type): Added JDK 6 info, removed newInstance(), fixed code formatting. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefjdbc32052.html (java.sql.Driver interface): Added information on client driver (DERBY-2958) since the information applies to both client and embedded (please let me know if this is not the case). Added explanation of when to use newInstance(). Removed confusing language and fixed formatting. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefjdbc4_0summary.html (JDBC 4.0-only features): Fixed JDK 6 reference. > Documentation should recommend using .newInstance() to instantiate JDBC driver > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-503 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-503 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation > Affects Versions: 10.1.1.0 > Reporter: Oyvind Bakksjo > Assignee: Kim Haase > Priority: Minor > Attachments: DERBY-503.diff, DERBY-503.stat, DERBY-503.zip > > > Using Class.forName("<driver name>").newInstance() is the recommended way to load and instantiate the JDBC driver, but the documentation does not contain the .newInstance() part. > Pointers: > http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/devguide/cdevdvlp40653.html > http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/ref/rrefjdbc32052.html > The EmbeddedDriver javadoc mentions it: > "The JDBC specification recommends the Class.ForName method without the .newInstance() method call, but adding the newInstance() guarantees that Derby will be booted on any Java Virtual Machine." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Former N.C. Rep. Drew Saunders gets to start lobbying six months after he leaves office instead of a year after stepping down thanks to a change in the law that he pushed through.
Saunders, a Democrat from Huntersville, resigned his House seat at the end of October in order to take a $110,000-a-year job with Electricities, a nonprofit umbrella group for municipal power companies in the state. The firm expects he will register as a lobbyist after the required six-month cooling off period between holding office and lobbying.
Saunders lost in the May Democratic primary to Rep.-elect Nick Mackey, so he was leaving office at the end of the year.
Regardless of when his term ended, he would have been required to take a yearlong break between legislating and lobbying under the state ethics law being debated in the House in 2006. That cooling off period was cut to six months thanks to a proposal by Saunders.
At the time, Saunders complained that the ethics bill "treats legislators like dirt." This was around the same time that Saunders criticized the bill's ban on accepting gifts from lobbyists by saying: "Even the baby Jesus accepted gifts, and I don't think it corrupted him."
Saunders on Wednesday said he "certainly didn't anticipate" his new job when he proposed the shorter cooling off period.
His criticism of the ethics bill arose from his background in human resources, as he didn't think lawmakers should restrict how former legislators sustain themselves, he said.
"We were down there talking about jobs, jobs, jobs," Saunders said, "and then we're restricting people on how they make a living."
Saunders' move contributes to undermining the public's confidence that the 2006 legislation fixed many of the problems with the state's ethics laws, said Bob Phillips, executive director of the nonpartisan Common Cause North Carolina and a chief advocate for the 2006 law.
"We have one of the shortest cooling off periods in the country," Phillips said. "It needs to be extended, and this is a reminder of that."

One and only popular Windows Phone flagship HP Elite x3's successor won't come with Windows 10 Mobile. Yes HP is about to give up on Windows Phone.
The successor of HP Elite x3 will be powered by the Android. Though HP is still committed to the 3-in-1 enterprise mobility approach for it's next flagship. A report from the DrWindows.de suggests that the HP is "experimenting very intensively with Android" for next flagship.
Since Microsoft already given up on the Windows Phone, so this news should of course not be surprising. Furthermore, Google's Android already features Continuum-like features on many premium devices. And Microsoft has numerous apps available on Android and can manage Android devices without issue. While HP's remote desktop software would run as well on Android as on Windows 10 Mobile.
And as you know Microsoft have no plans to bring any new features or to launch new Windows 10 Mobile anytime soon. Though, they are working on some enterprise related features for Windows 10 Mobile but those will not make every user happy.
The future of Windows 10 Mobile will die with the featureless feature2 branch. The development of Windows 10 Mobile would not be moving to a new from feature2 branch. There is no doubt that company is heavily interested in the mobile business. Some reports suggests that next mobile device from company will be running on Andromeda OS; a version of Windows that aims to be modular enough to run on any form factor. But none of the existing Windows Phone will get this update. There will be an "ultimate device" for it.
But judging the current situation, as Microsoft doomed Windows 10 Mobile, it makes no sense for any OEMs to build a new Windows Phone. Are you still using Windows 10 Mobile as primary device? Are you still hoping for the mysterious Surface Phone?

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. -- The Chappaqua Central School District presented its second smallest budget-to-budget increase in eight years at Tuesday night's board of education meeting.
Coming in at $112,202,888, Superintendent Lyn McKay's proposed budget shows a 0.68 percent increase from 2011-12. Despite the relatively small increase, McKay said students came first in any budget decision and no cost-saving measures were taken as a detriment to education.
"As difficult as these budgets are, with all the cutting that weve had to do over the last four years, it is equally important that we continue to build strong programs and we continually improve," McKay said.
McKay stressed the districts budget is year-to-year and there was no rollover. She said the discussion began in August with a zero-based budgeting process.
While the budget shows an increase of only $754,400, or 0.68 percent, the tax levy increase is larger due a $350,000 reduction in federal aid, a projected enrollment decline of 17 students, increasing teachers and administrators contracts, a 3 percent increase in health insurance premiums, a 2.6 percent increase in the employee retirement system, equalization rates and more.
The projected budget shows a tax levy increase from $98,944,582 to $101,032,134. Despite the $2,087,552 increase, or 2.11 percent, the figures stay within the tax levy cap.
To make it under the cap, the district cut a net total of 10.64 positions. While 12.8 full-time positions were cut, two core curriculum teachers were added to Seven Bridges Middle School and a part-time Chinese teacher was added to Horace Greeley High School. The cuts bring the district's total to 87.86 since 2009.
Speaking at Tuesday night's meeting, one local resident expressed concern over the affect continual teacher cuts will have on the quality of education, saying all the low-hanging fruit has been cut.
"Costs are rising faster than the tax cap rate, and we are realistically at the point where its muscle not fat," said Warren Hart, who is leading up a local finance advisory committee. "Youre not cutting people that are kind of casually mowing the occasional lawn or doing something strange, youre cutting teachers that are having a meaningful impact on a students life."
Hart recommended the board of education look into beginning a political process to put a stop to a wave of unfunded mandates. Hart also suggested the board of education work together with the New Castle Town Board on revenue-increasing solutions.
The district will continue to hold community discussions on almost a weekly basis leading up to April 10, when the board is scheduled to adopt a budget. The next discussion will be held at 7:30 p.m. on March 7 at Robert E. Bell Middle School.
The budget cannot undergo any further change after it is adopted. It will then be put to a public vote on May 15. A complete PDF version of the budget proposal can be viewed on the district's website .

If you read this blog regularly you know that my wife has an amazing ability with words. It is something that makes me jealous most of the time. She is always articulate and intentional...except when she is sleep deprived.
For the last three nights at least we have been up multiple times with Samuel puking, pooping and crying. It has been exhausting at night and each morning I have had to leave to go to work.
Two nights ago Stacy prayed with everything in her that we would get a good nights sleep. That night Samuel awoke for the first time at midnight. All I remember, besides the smell of vomit, is Stacy yelling "Are you friggin' kidding me?" You see she believed so much that her prayer would get Samuel through the night, that when he woke up, she was hopeless.
Last night I prayed. I was exhausted, but I knew that God could help. Samuel woke up this time at 11:15 p.m. Forty-five minutes earlier than the night before. We laid him back down but he was up again at 1 a.m. This time instead of panicking Stacy went straight to her laptop to let you all know that we needed your prayers.
In the heat of the moment, when it mattered the most, my wife did not crumble. Instead she prayed. I am so thankful for Stacy. She has a thankless job sometimes, but she sticks it out with an endurance I don't understand.
We both realize that we prayed for our children for a long time, but in the heat of the moment we need to rely on each other to not forget this important point. Thanks for loving me and our kids so much Stacy.

According to the National Association of Estate Agents, the number of homes available to buy on the open market is currently the lowest it has been for 14 years.
The association monitors how many properties its members have for sale per branch. According to their research the association found that each branch member had an average of just 33 properties for sale, the lowest since December 2002 when each branch had just 25.
The National Association of Estate Agents also report that around 33% of property sales made in January were made to first time buyers.
Commenting on the findings a spokesperson from the NAEA says "The number of sales made to first time buyers has increased this month, and we should expect to see their market share rise after April. The fact that housing supply has reached a 14 year low really highlights the need for the government to push the house building programme to the very top of the agenda."
These findings come as no surprise. For some months now the number of people wishing to buy property has far exceeded the volume of property available to purchase. If you are thinking of selling property now is a great time to put your property on the market. High demand is likely to help sellers achieve a quick sale at a great price. Countrywide agents have recognised this vendor opportunity and are currently offering a network wide offer on their standard marketing pack.
Contact your local agent for more details.

Check Up from the Neck Up
Insights and perspectives on injury prevention, rehabilitation, health and fitness
It is still amazing to me the resistance I face when I state that a strong neck can and will help minimize and prevent concussions. Once again I reiterate what I have said before. I recently interviewed Dr. Robert Cantu. He is considered by many to be the foremost expert on concussions. He stated in my interview that for every one pound of neck strength you add to you neck the chance of a concussion lessens by 5%. The article I quote below provides more details.
To understand how a strong neck protects the brain from the concussive forces of a violent blow to the head picture a speed bag tethered only by a chain, (a skinny little neck), to it's overhead base being hit hard by a boxer. One blow will send it bouncing back and forth for quite some time as the bag slowly dissipates the violent contact. Now picture the speed bag secured to it's overhead base with a large stiff rubber column, (a strong neck), as thick in diameter as the speed bag itself. When it gets punched by the boxer it barely moves as the force of the blow is dissipated by the strong rubber column into the base. Which speed bag would you want your "brain" in? Athletes need a strong neck cylinder to dissipate concussive forces down to the torso or their "base" to protect their brain.
In physics, dissipation embodies the concept of a dynamical system where mechanical modes lose energy over time, typically due to the action of friction or turbulence. The lost energy is converted into heat, raising the temperature of the system. Such systems are called dissipative systems. A strong neck is such a dissipative system. When violent contact occurs to the head the mechanical mode (neck muscles) resist the blow fighting the force by slowing down the head movement and dissipating the force down into the torso protecting the brain from the concussive forces.
A strong neck creates greater force dissipation – when we dissipate force from a blow to the head effectively we prevent and minimize concussions. My goal is to help in the prevention of concussions and neck injuries by increasing athlete's neck strength. Greater neck strength equals greater force dissipation upon head impact which equals far fewer neck injuries and concussions.
Below are just a few excerpts from articles that what I have stated:
I quote Sean Gregory in an article for Time Magazine:
At the fourth annual Youth Sports Safety Summit in early February, Dawn Comstock, associate professor of epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health, presented the findings. During the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years, athletic trainers collected measurements of head circumference, neck circumference, neck length, and four measurements of neck strength — extension, flexion, right lateral and left lateral — on 6,704 athletes nationwide across three sports; boys' and girls' soccer, lacrosse and basketball. These measures were taken before the start of the season; during the season, athletic trainers reported injury data — including concussion incidence — for each athlete.
And the results didn't favor those with tiny necks: concussed athletes had smaller mean neck circumference, a smaller mean neck-circumference-to head-circumference ratio (in other words, a small neck paired with a large head), and smaller mean overall neck strength than athletes who did not suffer a concussion. After adjusting for gender and sport, overall neck strength remained a statistically significant predictor of concussion. For every one pound increase in neck strength, odds of concussion fell by 5%.

I quote Ralph Cornwell PhD. from and article "A case for training the neck"
To minimize head injuries, let's revisit the neck/trapezius area and see how these muscles play a critical role. Neck muscles act as springs and shock absorbers; bigger, stronger necks can better absorb with less deformation. Recalling the laws of physics, consider the neck as a cylinder. The larger the circumference of the cylinder, the more load it can support without buckling.
As training the neck area increases strength there, the soft tissue thickens and the neck becomes stiffer. Using physics again to explain the necessity for stiffness, view the neck as a coiled spring. The thicker the coils of the spring, the greater the stiffness ratio. A smaller, less stiff spring is easier to compress from an axial-loading standpoint. A stiffer spring–or stronger neck–deflects greater frontal or side impact forces.
All variables being equal, if a given cylinder increases its diameter by two inches–say from six inches to eight inches–the deformation decreases 43 percent. Common sense, simple logic, or even strong speculation suggests that a bigger, stronger neck would give an athlete a better chance of avoiding serious injury when absorbing impact forces during collisions.

I Quote Malcolm Gladwell writing in The New Yorker:
At one point, while he was discussing his research, Guskiewicz showed a videotape from a 1997 college football game between Arizona and Oregon. In one sequence, a player from Oregon viciously tackles an Arizona player, bringing his head up onto the opposing player's chin and sending his helmet flying with the force of the blow. To look at it, you'd think that the Arizona player would be knocked unconscious. Instead, he bounces back up. "This guy does not sustain a concussion," Guskiewicz said. "He has a lip laceration. Lower lip, that's it. Now, same game, twenty minutes later." He showed a clip of an Arizona defensive back making a dramatic tackle. He jumps up, and, as he does so, a teammate of his chest-bumps him in celebration. The defensive back falls and hits his head on the ground. "That's a Grade 2 concussion," Guskiewicz said. "It's the fall to the ground, combined with the bounce off the turf."
The force of the first hit was infinitely greater than the second. But the difference is that the first player saw that he was about to be hit and tensed his neck, which limited the sharp back-and-forth jolt of the head that sends the brain crashing against the sides of the skull. In essence, he was being hit not in the head but in the head, neck, and torso—an area with an effective mass three times greater. In the second case, the player didn't see the hit coming. His head took the full force of the blow all by itself. That's why he suffered a concussion. But how do you insure, in a game like football, that a player is never taken by surprise?

OUR HELL WITH THE CULT; Family claim they were brainwashed at Scottish mansion SUNDAY MAIL March 22nd 1998
Daughter was forced to marry a fat, balding cult member; Phone calls were banned and women treated like slaves.
A FAMILY trapped in a bizarre religious cult claim they were BRAINWASHED and forced into an arranged marriage.
Shattered Scot Christine Carroll and her family have broken their silence to tell of their life of hell at the hands of the secretive group. Christine, her son, Craig, and daughter, Lee, have all escaped the clutches of the mysterious Christian Assemblies Group.
They had first come across the cult when Christine flew back to Scotland with her son after her marriage in Australia ended in divorce.
But last night Craig, blasted the cult leaders who took them in to their Scots HQ, then:
- Forced his sister into an arranged marriage
- Told all women they were only "cooks and mattresses"
- Hid passports of devotees and demanded all their cash
- Banned members from making any external calls or even using the telephone.
Craig, 24, who has Australian nationality, was lured into the cult's Scots base at pounds 250,000 Pitversie House in rural Abernethy, Perthshire. His sister, Lee, stayed in Australia with her dad but became worried about Craig when the letters she received from Scotland started mentioning a church group.
Craig said: "After we got to Scotland, my mum met these people in the cult. At first they seemed really nice, normal. We both got quite involved and ended up moving in with them. They always said that unless we tried harder to please God, we would be in really deep trouble. You don't convert people to religion by shouting and screaming at them."
Craig got a job as an apprentice upholsterer but says every PENNY he earned had to go into cult coffers. And when Lee flew to Scotland in a bid to RESCUE her brother, she ended up as a disciple of the Christian Assemblies.
She claims she was forced to MARRY a complete stranger. And only escaped when her "husband" let her out of his sight for just a few moments.
Lee, 26, told the Sunday Mail: "When I arrived, everything was so nice that I thought Craig had been making it up. I was completely taken in."
As soon as Lee was baptised into the cult, she was handed a long list of chores and told what to wear and how her hair should be cut.
The cult members included respectable doctors, lawyers and teachers.
The prayer meetings were harmless at first, with prayer music and hugging inside a giant marquee at the back of the massive Scots HQ. But as soon as members were baptised, the "pastors" became more sinister. They would shout and scream at the disciples and hurl abuse at Craig and Lee. They were made to clean floors with tooth brushes and sweep the pavements outside with tiny brushes. But Lee's biggest nightmare was when she was introduced to a fat, balding middle-aged stranger… Who had been chosen by the cult leaders as her HUSBAND.
She said: "They told me if I didn't become his wife, my family would be damned to hell. I wasn't allowed any money and I couldn't make any phone calls. He kept me cleaning all day and all night."
It was only after a year in her nightmare cult marriage that Lee finally had her chance to escape. Her husband had, for once, left the lock off the telephone… Giving Lee just enough time to call a friend and tell her where she was. Minutes later, the pal zoomed up in a car and Lee jumped in.
Craig escaped their clutches while on a tour of Australia with the cult. He managed to slip away from the group. His mum got away from the Scots HQ at about the same time.
The Christian Assemblies Group was probed by the Scottish Charities Office after receiving complaints about their status. We understand the group was heavily fined.
Followers are told they can be saved by prophecies – but only the leaders know what the prophecies are.
The cult came here in 1991 after breaking from its mother church in Australia. It stalked students and young professionals in a bid to recruit new members. The boss of the cult in Scotland is Australian- born Scott Williams. He lives in a secluded house in Dollar, Clackmannanshire. From the outside, it looks like any family home, surrounded by fir trees and tall hedges. But anyone taking a closer look can see that the birdboxes contain video CAMERAS. There are movement monitors, heavy iron gates and a one-way intercom.
When Sunday Mail reporters visited, one of William's assistants replied gruffly: "No comment. Just leave us alone."
At Pitversie House, Stewart Benzie and his wife Marjorie are caretakers for the cult. They are both locals who have joined the Assemblies.
Stewart said: "These people are telling lies. Yes, they did stay here, I can remember them all. They once belonged to us."
When asked whether THEY belonged to anyone, Benzie added: "Perhaps that was the wrong phrase to use."
Pitversie's security system is better than the one at the local police station, which is less than 100 yards down the road in the sleepy village. It too contains video cameras nestling inside birdboxes, movement monitors, intercoms and guard dogs.
Razor wire and barbed wire also runs along the perimeter fence at the cult's Scottish headquarters. Locals say they don't know whether that's to keep people IN or OUT.
One said: "We have witnessed so many strange things there. Hundreds of them turn up for meetings and happy-clappy sessions."
Wolfgang Frantz, one of the cult's leaders in Scotland, regularly invited locals into Pitversie House for "prayer meetings". But after seeing inside, most locals decided his "church" was not for them. Frantz and other cult leaders refused to comment on the Carroll family's allegations.
Now Craig, Lee, and mum Christine are re-building their lives. They are receiving therapy to overcome the brainwashing they say they endured.
Craig said: "I just want to forget about the whole thing now, but it has left its mark on me. I still have bad dreams about it."
And Lee added: "This has brought us closer together. Only we can understand what we have been through. It has created a special bond between us." SOURCE
The Scotsman: Sex cult said to be recuiting in Scotland
But Assembly documents reveal something even more sinister. Four Corners has discovered members were also being fined by Williams for minor misdemeanours.
Williams, now 70, is living with his wife Ree in a luxury apartment in the beachfront Pacific Towers complex in Coffs Harbour [New South Wales]. It is one of many properties Williams purchased using money donated by church members who believed much of it was being used for charitable purposes.
[CAI operates as a registered charity in Scotland as Christian Assemblies Europe with 'church groups', in Glasgow, Perth and Stirling.]
Today, the CAI boasts an impressive multi-million-dollar property portfolio including Pitversie House and Douglas House, a hotel in Abernethy, Scotland.
All were renovated to luxurious standards by church members, who have told Four Corners they worked hundreds of hours updating the properties while Williams monitored their work and punished them for any mistakes or minor misdemeanours.
Katja Forkin was recruited into the Assembly as a teenager living in Germany. She says women and men were expected to work on the properties night and day, and if they did not they would be severely punished or excommunicated.
She says life in the Assembly got worse once Williams began to purchase more and more properties.
"It started to change once the Assembly owned properties in Scotland, because basically all we did from then is just work on the properties, renovating, looking after Scott and Ree more or less, and everything evolved around their lives, So the little spare time that we had sort of dwindled away more and more to the point that we started to have less and less connections to the outside."
As members disconnected from the outside world, following Williams around the world and moving away from family and friends, they say their leader's language and demeanour began to change.
Former members told Four Corners they were regularly denigrated and humiliated, losing their self-identity, confidence and sense of self.
CULTWATCH | Brian Tamaki's Destiny Church is Now a Cult
Controversial religious group in Aberdeen, Scotland. Led by 'Pastor' Jim Addison. Formerly operated under the name "Word of Life (International)."
Posted by: judith Date: December 23, 2012 01:27AM
I'm right in the middle of this but I've just realised that this church is a cult and I'm in a mess. I've been going to this destiny church in edinburgh and its come to ruin my life. At first I didn't know what was going on. They were very friendly and they seemed to understand when I told them that I was upset about my parents separating. This anne woman became my spiritual mother and looked after me but ive lost everything now. It was only after a while when they have one of these cell meetings in home I said things I wish I hadn't. they tell you to say things like 'I've got plans' and 'im busy' if your family ask you to do things with them. they know everything about me now. I went to one of their healing ceremonies and I lost my mind. I can't remember anything about it but I was told I was talking nonsense when I got out. They told the pastor and in one of their counselling sessions they . it was so scarey.

I first of all would like to say to Judith, i'm very sorry to hear about your experience destiny church.
I can confirm that Destiny church does have a very cult like atmosphere.
They are obsessed with money, especially the leader of Destiny ministries the (false) "apostle" Andrew Owen who constantly brings money into his messages and tells people they can "tap into God's superntural financial resources and on at least one occasion encourged his congregation to do better in their jobs/buisnesses etc so they could put more money into the church to spread out and encourage more people to join Destiny so they can have more of an influence on the nation.
They encourage people to tithe 10% of their wages even though biblical tithing was only ever food and animals and not money, they also neglect to mention that there was also a tithe to be kept by the individual and more importantly that tithes were only to the levite priesthood in the temple both of which are no longer around.

Thanks for your post, TrueScot. Another one is Richard Roberts who was invited to come to Destiny Church in Glasgow in 2009 claiming to be able to heal people of cancer. Glasgow City Council said that he could face prosecution if he made unfounded claims of being able to cure people and Jim Cassidy of Oncology at Glasgow spoke about the danger of giving false hope to vulnerable people. There was an article about it in the Scotsman saying a spokes woman (I wonder if that was Sue Owen) said he really was able to cure the sick. How do they (the Destiny Church) get away with it [watchman4wales.blogspot.co.uk]

I've just seen this article on Cult 101 – another indication that the Destiny Church Glasgow is damaging. See Creflo Dollars inviation to the SECC by Andrew Owen. Well done the wee frees for at least attempting to stand up to them. [www.cultnews101.com] SOURCE
