Community Group FAQ's:
What makes up the community group curriculum?
- Community 101 | a watermark study on the essentials of community
- Identity in Christ | a study that focuses on who we are as followers of Christ
- Forgiveness | a study that examines the nature of conflict resolution and true forgiveness
- Equipped to Understand | a study that focuses on deepening your walk with Christ
- Purity | a study that focuses on a right understanding of purity and living a life of purity
- Marriage | a study on the marriage relationship and growing in oneness
- Parenting | a study on God's perspective of parenting
- Moneywise | a study on stewardship and financial management
- Ask good questions and follow-up questions – Hopefully all group members will want to communicate and share and this will go a long way in leading a healthy discussion. Ask open-ended questions that will prompt others to think and discuss. Be sure to listen well.
- Share your own story – Be vulnerable with your group members (as you feel appropriate) by sharing your own joys and struggles in life and community. Lead the way in being open and authentic with your group. We are looking for living examples, not perfect examples.
- Be willing to say "I don't know" – Do some research on your own, and let us know if we can help, rather than making something up. Watermark has a lot of great resources that we can forward your way as you look to grow in understanding of the Word.
Please remember that the curriculum is there as a guide. It is not there to restrict you as you disciple your group. Be students of your group and feel the freedom to speed up, slow down, or deviate from the structured curriculum as you think is needed. Please let us know if you make any curriculum changes, or if we can help you come up with new ideas.
What advice do you have as we lead the groups through the community curriculum?
The goal is not for you to teach through material – this is designed to be a small group with discussion. As a group launcher, you can best set-up your group for success as you:
What should a typical month look like for a Community Group?
Our best Community Groups are getting 4-6 touch points with one another each month. Here's a breakdown of how that might look for your group. Keep in mind that every group will be unique, but every group should be connecting in these specific areas.
Sample Schedule:
Curriculum Study | 1st & 3rd Tuesday
Group social &/or service | 2nd & 4th Tuesday
Guys Accountability | 2nd & 4th Tuesday after couple time & 1st & 3rd Friday for Breakfast
Girls Accountability |2nd & 4th Tuesday after couple time & 1st & 3rd Tuesday before group time
*Game Night or social event | 5th Tuesday
*This 5th Tuesday time together is not required, but it will help your group learn to have fun together, especially in the beginning. Host these in your home or utilize this time to do fun events with your group like dinner out, the fair, or a sporting event. You can also set these up where the men will meet out somewhere, and the women can meet in the home or vice versa.
What are some tips for cultivating community?
Strong community takes time, but it also takes intentionality and effort. As the group leader, we ask you to cultivate an environment where people feel safe to share what's going on in their lives. A place where they can be known by others and get to know each other. This is important in group meetings, but also vital outside of group time. As you go through the community curriculum, take the time to share your story of grace and allow each couple to share theirs too. (See Life Map document) This will go a long way toward establishing a safe environment within your group. Here are some suggested ways to share:
We recommend option 1 or 3 below as you walk through the community curriculum. Use the info in the time line as a guide, but feel free to modify it to fit your group:
- During session 1, share your life map and open it up for questions concerning your life map. After that, have one couple share per week at the beginning of each meeting. (5-6 sessions). Remember to leave adequate time for questions after each life map.
- Wait to start curriculum until everyone has shared their life map. (2-3 sessions)
- Plan a one day retreat and have everyone share their life map over the weekend
In each situation above, we suggest the Group Launcher share their life map first in order to appropriately model authenticity and appropriate length of time.
How long do Community Groups last?
We ask group members to commit to staying in community together for one year. After that, we ask groups to recommit on a year-to-year basis.
How do I handle pastoral care issues when they arise?
Chances are, at some point during the group life, you will be approached by one of your group members to discuss a pastoral care issue. For more information on how to handle these issues, see What To Do When Crisis Hits.
It is our preference that Community Group Leaders are the first line of contact for all pastoral care situations during the launch period. Here are three reasons why we believe this is best:
1.You are fully equipped to handle most of the pastoral care issues that arise.
2.You have a direct relationship with each member in the group.
3.We believe being involved in these situations will bless you.
Please reach out to us anytime you have crisis within the group. You can update us with all that is going on and share your plan of attack when it comes to next steps. It is important that you encourage the group member(s) to bring this to the group so that they can be a part of the blessing of providing care. As the Group Launcher, you will set the tone and direction of this type of discussion. Be sure to encourage the members to share Biblical truth, not their own insights.
The Watermark staff is here to help in any way possible. We are more than willing to coach on the phone, show up to meetings or reach out to group members directly. The most important things is to always see this as an opportunity for growth and ministry.
How do we encourage group members to live on mission with their life?
First and foremost lead out in your own life. Help them see that as they live on mission, God will provide opportunities for people to both see and hear the Gospel. Help cast vision for them so they begin to see that God has given them the opportunity to live in community, not just to grow in their own walk with Christ, but also to offer hope to others. Here are three great questions to give your group to reflect on after each time you meet:
- What is God saying to you?
- What are you going to do about it?
- Who are you going to share this with?
What are ways that we can share leadership to create ownership?
As a community group leader, it is important for you to include other members of the body to exercise their gifts in your group. Invite them and give them a role to play. Here are several different ways you can do this:
- Facilitate group discussion | this is a great way to give group members the opportunity to lead the group through the curriculum. Once you have established what this time will look like for your group, take some time to delegate different sessions to each group member.
- Prepare snack | this is a great way to take some of the hospitality load off of yourself. You can even delegate the entire task of making the schedule for who brings snacks and when.
- Lead prayer time | this is a great way to give someone the opportunity to help walk your group through this time together. Give them the freedom to change this up so that they can experience different ways of praying with and for one another. You may also want to consider delegating the task of sharing prayer needs with the group via email.
- Plan social events | this could be everything from dinner together, top golf, bowling, movie nights, holiday events, or even lake trips and retreats. It is important for your group to have fun together- shared experience builds trust. Some groups will be better about this than others, offer your wisdom and insight as needed.
- Set up service opportunities | as your group does life together, it will be great for them to find time to serve together. Finding a group member to help set these events up will be helpful for the group as a whole.
What do we do at the end of our time as a group?
Celebrate! This is a great time to share stories of all that God has done in and through your group. Try to avoid having any other agenda items except to enjoy time with one another and give God the glory for his provision for this season.
What do you do with a member who is not as committed to the group as the rest of the members?
- Pray for them and encourage the other members to do the same – As much as you'll want to control things and try to change their heart, this is not your role or anyone else's in the group. Only God can change hearts. In my life, all too often, I'll do everything else before I stop to pray for God to move in their heart. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
- Find the heart issue – Make sure they're aware that you love them and that you're for them. Continue to try to get to the heart of the issue. There are reasons why they're slow to jump in and it probably has to do with a deeper hurt they've experienced in the past.
- Ask them the question Jesus asked, "Do you want to get well?" (John 5:1-9) – The ball is ultimately in their court. Stopping to ask if they want to get well is a great way to remind them that you can't take the steps for them. This is something they will need to do.
- Seek mutual understanding – Encourage the group to share how this makes them feel. The member(s) who are interested in going deeper need to better understand why the member who is having difficulty with commitment is struggling. Remind them to be patient with them. The member(s) who refuses to go deeper needs to understand how their actions don't just impact them, it also has an impact on the group as a whole. (Ephesians 4:1-3)
- Continue to dig into the Word – Romans 15:1-2 says, "We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up." I'm sure there are many times where if you're honest, you (and your members too) feel like it would just be a whole lot easier to cut them lose and move forward without them. This verse is a great reminder for us to do what is in their best interest. It is our belief that staying in the group is usually in the best interest of the member, and the group as a whole. Encourage your group to put Philippians 2:1-11 to memory.

The horizontal fading line is missing on my homepage and a newer few pages as I add them to my website.
It is showing up here (examples):
It isn't showing up here (examples):
Is it connected to where the slider is being used? I would like it on all of the pages in the default light grey as it suits my theme fine.
Please can you advise any changes I need to make to get this working on all pages.
Also is it possible to change this to an image as on the Kriesi website – just for future reference.
Many thanks, SiobhanApril 2, 2013 at 1:28 pm #113003
Hi Siobhan,
You can choose that layout by setting the "Page Layout" to Fullsize preview image, no sidebar on each page.
DevinApril 3, 2013 at 3:43 am #113004
Hi Devan,
The majority of my pages are dynamic templates – I've checked for the following in the Template Builder and they are all Fullsize, No Sidebar.
One of my newer pages which isn't a dynamic template has the layout – Fullsize preview image, no sidebar (as in your suggestion) but the background colour slice is not showing on this page – http://etool.net.au/about/affiliates/
Any ideas?
Thanks, SiobhanApril 4, 2013 at 12:22 pm #113005
It will only show that container if the image/slideshow container is present it looks like. Otherwise it has the top container with the page name.
So you would need to customize the page.php file in the theme files if you wanted to change the layout.
DevinApril 5, 2013 at 1:08 am #113006
Hi Devin,
Thanks I thought that might be the case.
Can you advise what code I should use to customise this please?
I've had a look in the page.php and it isn't clear to me what I should add/edit.
Many thanks,
SiobhanApril 7, 2013 at 12:50 am #113007
First update to Corona v1.5 that I am using while you have v1.3 . You can do this in themeforest.net , login using account you purchased the theme and using FTP install it. Please be aware that the update will overwrite all the theme files so make a backup if you edited any.
I just looked into this briefly, that same line is there on the other pages just not where you would expect it ( http://www.clipular.com/c?4292034=OJJAKFaivN6WRYshwD6B-sYuJ58&f=.png ..big green line is where its at) and the best thing you can do is open up header.php in your theme folder and
1. add the code below to line 110 (push whatever is on line 110 to line 111, thereby making line 110 free (but don't delete anything, just push it back)
<?php if ($extraClass = "slideshow_big_container") $extraClass = "" ?>
and line 110 (which is empty) should be right *after* line 109 which looks like the code below
In the same header.php file, find line 203 and add two forward slashed in front of it so it will look like
//if(!empty($avia_config['slide_output'])) echo "
".$avia_config['slide_output']."
";
then you will need to open multiple files and paste the line below into each of the files at the line number indicated
<?php if(!empty($avia_config['slide_output'])) echo "
".$avia_config['slide_output']."
";?>
remember to paste the above code on line number indicated below (all 3 of these files are in the main folder of your theme)
page.php — paste the above code on line 27 ; before line 28 that contains this: <?php
single.php — paste the above code on line 19 ; before line 20 that contains this: <?php
template-dynamic.php — paste the above code on line 37 ; before line 38 that contains this: <?php
If you follow these instructions (which are ok, if you focus on my instructions and line numbers, since i tested it)
Please do not save photographs in PNG format as you are doing in your slider ( http://etool.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Building-or-Renovating-930×370.png ). You are getting 700k PNG when you can have an 80k JPG.
Please use free online image optimizer to further compress your images in both formats:
For PNG : http://www.pngoptimizer.com/
For JPG : http://jpeg-optimizer.com/ (uncheck resize photo, and leave optimization at 60)
NickMay 28, 2013 at 6:42 am #113008
Hi Nick,
Thanks for all the coding and pointers.
I've updated my theme now and have tried to follow your instructions but the line numbers aren't matching with mine.
For both the new theme header.php and my customer header.php, line 110 isn't empty. What program are you using to check the files?
I just downloaded a free one, but can't add in the coding as the line information is different.
Any ideas?
Thanks, SiobhanMay 28, 2013 at 2:52 pm #113009
Hi Siobhan,
When looking at your theme files it doesn't appear that the theme has been updated which is why they wouldn't match up.
DevinMay 29, 2013 at 6:51 am #113010
Hi Devin,
Thanks, all my theme files are updated now.
I've just had a look at the 1.5 download of header.php and line 110 isn't empty. Here are lines 101-110
<div class='container_wrap <?php echo $extraClass; ?>' id='header'>

* display the main navigation menu
* modify the output in your wordpress admin backend at appearance->menus
Please let me know how I should proceed.
Many thanks, SiobhanMay 30, 2013 at 8:08 pm #113011
Sorry if I wasn't exact. I updated the above file, I forgot to write to push whatever is there, but paste the code between lines 109
and line 110 (which you will push to line 111)
<div class='container_wrap <?php echo $extraClass; ?>' id='header'>
so that you end result will look like (lines 109-111) below
<?php if ($extraClass = "slideshow_big_container") $extraClass = "" ?>
<div class='container_wrap <?php echo $extraClass; ?>' id='header'>
Sorry for not being clear. I looked over my previous answer , and the other parts are more clear.

June 18, 2016
The Forge, Camden, London
When Tanya Tagaq performed at the Southbank Centre in 2014 to accompany the 1922 silent film Nanook of the North, the venue was dark and vast. Tagaq's performance was excellent but the focus of the darkened room was the film.
There was reason for that. Nanook of the North is undoubtedly beautiful as it captures the "mysterious barren lands" of northern Canada with "snow smoking fields of sea and plain." Nanook of the North is seminal in Canadian film history and to documentary film-making more generally. The film has sparked endless debates over the relative merits of pure cinema verité versus staging scenes to represent a fundamental truth.
We're talking about a film known in full as Nanook of the North: A Story of Life and Love in the Actual Arctic where the protagonist wasn't really called Nanook and his 'wife' was, in reality, the common-law wife of the American film-maker. Memorable scenes inside an igloo were filmed in a three side mock-up as the real thing was too dark and small for the bulky camera equipment of the early 1920s. Meanwhile, the hunting methods depicted were anachronistic – most of the Inuk hunters used guns as standard by that time.
Tagaq summarised the history and controversies associated with the film with grace and humour. She acknowledged that hunting 300 miles north of the magnetic North Pole would have been prohibitively time-consuming and uncertain for the film-makers if it wasn't staged; for her brothers it had often been a 12 hour affair. Plus, as Roger Ebert once pointed out, "the walrus hasn't seen the script."
Tagaq was no apologist for the film or the socio-historic conditions underpinning it, speaking out about the "effects of colonization on my people." She spoke from the perspective of both sides – she is English on her father's side whereas her mother was raised in an igloo until the age of 12: "She carries with her the kind of calmness I can't find elsewhere." Tagaq spoke knowledgeably of her heritage, especially of throat singing traditionally performed by two women singing in each other's mouths – once banned as "the priests didn't like that!"
Tagaq was most dismissive of the idea that the joy and laughter in the film signifies stupidity; that, conversely, dourness somehow equates to intelligence. She explained that in a life replete with hardship and danger, it's crucial to "make laughter" however and wherever possible. Indeed, for all the criticism of simplistic portrayals of the film's subjects, their irrepressible joy, expressed without words, is delightful. We see a child giggling while sledging on the back of an adult then on a tiny sled pulled by an excitable Husky puppy. Later, puppies file out of a tiny igloo built to protect them overnight.
All-too-soon the fascinating talk was over as it was time for the main event. Tagaq asked that no videos or photographs be taken during the performance (all these shots are from the talk or credits only), for good reason. Each performance is improvised – it is of and for that specific time and space. Watching a jittery clip online wouldn't truly convey the intense performance; the slow build-up to a crescendo of intense noise or the writhing, head-first off the stage representation of the tumultuous hunts.
Without the context, it may be difficult to appreciate how the band captured the desolate landscapes, notably with atmospheric, discordant violin parts, or how Tagaq encompassed the traditional two singer approach of her predecessors by combining two distinct tonal elements. Her voice ranged from a Bjork style screech to a guttural roar, at times otherworldly, like a record played backwards.
Tagaq had acknowledged that some might find the performance too uncomfortable to watch but, for most, it was incredibly compelling. The lure to watch the performance rather than the film was strong – admittedly, the conditions were not the best for the projection; a little too much ambient light and bleed through of the wood panelling behind.
Crucially, the performance was natural, nothing like contrived performance art. The audience's reaction were real too. There were tears, contemplation and – unusually for London – conversations with strangers about a raw and vital shared experience.
Like what you see? There are many more photos of the show over on Flickr; follow me there for over 1,500 concert photos and future updates. Please also follow me on Facebook, @redrospective on Twitter and here on WordPress for photography, reviews and music news.

I love the beach. And I love Maggie (my puppy). So I jumped at the chance to bring her to the beach. Since it's off season right now, I planned to bring her to the regular beach and walk her on-leash. It's a good thing I didn't do this, because we found out that dogs are not allowed on the beach/boardwalk after April (at least in Manasquan. I haven't checked with other beaches). Before we left our apartment, Matt decided to look online and see if there were any off-leash beaches for dogs. So, using trusty google search, we came across this website, http://www.bringfido.com/, and found a dog beach in Manasquan that looked promising. We decided to give it a whirl.
Maggie is only about 10 months old, and she is not typically fond of water. She happens to be afraid of her own shadow and is one of the most timid dogs I've ever seen. I really had no idea how beach day would go over. We brought my parent's dog, Sophie, who Maggie just adores, along with us in the hopes that maybe if Sophie were to swim and have fun, Maggie would too.
Turns out, it worked! Never in a million years did I think Maggie would get in the water. I thought she'd have fun running along the edge and sniffing/digging in the sand, but I had my doubts that she would ever be a swimmer. After much initial coaxing and eventually just dragging her in, she LOVED it. She ran through the waves with Sophie and the other dogs and they had a great time. I was even able to work on my tan and relax on a blanket while they played.
We stopped and had lunch at Gee Gee's on the boardwalk. We originally planned to try a dog friendly restaurant, but after reviewing the rules, we realized we didn't bring their licenses with us and all dogs are required to show their tags before they can enter. However, it was still the perfect trip to start off the summer. Beach day with the dogs and some yummy summer boardwalk food!

Mohawk Sales up 9%; Dal-Tile Sales Grow Nearly 10%
Mohawk Industries Inc. recently announced 2011 fourth quarter net earnings of $43 million. Net sales for the quarter were $1.4 billion, increasing 9% as reported and 10% with a constant exchange rate. Net earnings were $45 million, vs. $46 million for the fourth quarter 2010.
For the full year of 2011, net earnings were $174 million; excluding unusual items, net earnings for the full year were $202 million, a 16% increase over last year. Net sales for 2011 were $5.6 billion, up 6% compared to 2010. For the full year 2010, net earnings were $185 million.
The Dal-Tile segment reported an increase in net sales of almost 10% during the quarter, with commercial growth exceeding residential. Residential sales continued their positive growth trends for the third consecutive period.
"The company's fourth quarter results reflect improvements in sales and adjusted net earnings over last year, with all segments showing sales growth for the last three quarters," said Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum, Mohawk's chairman and CEO. "In the U.S., sales in both the residential and commercial categories expanded, with commercial growing at a faster pace. Increased prices across many product categories are being implemented in the first quarter to recover higher material costs. Each segment has reduced costs through process improvements, investments in technology and strategic realignment of assets. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.0 and we have available liquidity of more than $900 million to redeem the 2012 bonds and provide flexibility for future opportunities."

Difficult to Transfer Vinyl Graphics
Who hasn't had the occasional problem in transferring vinyl graphics from its release liner? In many cases, the solution may be as simple as selecting a higher tack tape, or making a slight change in your application procedure. Here are a few pick up tips to make transferring vinyl a more uplifting experience.
The tape won't pick up the graphics! The problem may not be with the tape or the vinyl. Could it be something you did or didn't do?
Some vinyl films utilize release liners with a tight release. The release value is the amount of force required to peel the vinyl film from its liner. A film with a tight release keeps the film from slipping and sliding on the liner during plotter cutting. The high release is great when you're cutting small letters and fine detail. But it can make transferring the graphic more difficult. Transferring high gloss films, highly textured films and vinyl with a "boardy" or stiff facestock, can also be problematic. Application tapes with a slightly higher tack, such as RTape 4076RLA®, are designed for the "hard-to-lift" films.
Difficulties in transferring vinyl often occur in environments with high humidity, such as Florida. Colder temperatures also cause problems. At lower temperatures the adhesive on the application tape is less malleable and will not wet out on the surface of the vinyl quite so readily, as when it is warmer. In these environments, the slightly higher tack tapes do a better job of lifting graphics.
To minimize problems make sure that you use good pressure when laminating the application tape. Remember: pressure-sensitive tapes need pressure to stick. Firm squeegee pressure in the laminating process and the heat generated from the friction of the squeegee aids the adhesive in wetting out and sticking to the vinyl's surface.
There's a right way and a wrong way to do everything. The right way to transfer graphics is to turn the graphic over so the tape is against your work surface, after applying the application tape to the vinyl. Peel the release liner from the back of the graphics, rolling it 180°against itself (as shown in Photo #1), rather than trying to pick the graphics off of the liner.
If the graphics release with difficulty from the release liner, rub the back of the liner against a sharp edge of your work bench as shown in Photo #2. This will help break the bond between the vinyl's adhesive and the release liner, making transfer of your graphics easier.

For females, being around pretty teen girls or young women reduces body satisfaction, according to research by two Texas A&M International University professors.
The study, published in June/July 2011 volume of the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, was conducted by Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson, TAMIU associate professor of psychology; Dr. Mónica E. Muñoz, assistant professor of psychology; Sandra Contreras, counseling psychology graduate student and Kristina Velásquez, counseling psychology graduate student.
"Research on media influences on behavior and self-perception often over-emphasize the media's influence. While the media may play a role in how we react to the world around us, peers and family have a more immediate influence on our everyday lives," said Dr. Muñoz.
The results, she added, have interesting implications for understanding how poor body image and eating disorders may develop.
"Evidence that the media plays a large role in eating disorders appears to be quite thin and conditions such as anorexia nervosa may even be motivated by things other than just body dissatisfaction," Dr. Ferguson said.
During the study, participants were exposed to females who could pose competition for them.
"Overall we found that peer effects, the tendency for females to compare themselves to pretty women in their environment, were a strong predictor of body dissatisfaction," observed Ferguson.
"The influence of peer competition, however, was moderated by body mass index, where females with a low body mass index (BMI) were most influenced by peer competition. Although we had few females with low BMI, this finding was surprising and is worthy of further exploration," explained Muñoz.
They also found that the presence of an attractive young male enhanced peer competition.
"Women know they're not really competing with women on TV; it's the women in their neighborhood they have to worry about," said Ferguson.
We need to explore situational influences other than media influences. Peer competition is one such situational influence that may have strong evolutionary explanations and very interesting implications for understanding how issues with poor body image and eating disorders may develop," said Muñoz.
Ferguson suggested encouraging girls and women to make fewer negative comments to each other about appearances.
"Body dissatisfaction appears to relate to issues closer to home. Fewer negative comments to each other about appearance may bear more success than on our culture's obsession with alleged media effects," Ferguson concluded.
For more information, contact Muñoz at email@example.com or 326.2618 or visit offices in Dr. F. M. Canseco Hall (CH), room 302D, or Ferguson at email@example.com or 326.2636 or visit offices in CH 302C.

As a California real estate professional, my clients have been asking me quite a few questions about the new law that will take effect on May 21, 2009 involving extending foreclosure periods by 90 days.
Instead of explaining all of the legal mumbo-jumbo (and believe me there is a lot of it); let me take a few moments to explain the new law in easy-to-understand terms.
The first and most important thing to do if you're facing a possible foreclosure situation is to check with your mortgage lender. The new law (extension of time) does not apply to lenders that currently offer a loan modification program.
The new law only applies to owner-occupied homes only where the first loan was recorded between January 1, 2003 and January 1, 2008. The new law will extend the time period before the filing of notice of sale by 90 days beyond the current three month period following the filing of the original notice of default.
In order for your lender to qualify for an exemption from this new law, your lender must offer a comprehensive loan modification program that includes the following features:
1. The program is intended to keep borrowers (you) in your home when the anticipated recovery period under a loan modification exceeds the recovery period through foreclosure on a net value present basis.
2. It targets a debt-to-income ratio of 38% or less.
3. It includes a combination of the following features:
· An interest rate reduction for at least five years
· An extension of loan term to no more than 40 years
· A deferral of some portion of the unpaid principal balance
· A reduction in principal
· Full compliance with a federally mandated loan modification program
· Seeks to achieve long-term sustainability for the borrower (you) when determining a loan modification solution.
Additionally it's very important to understand that the following loans are exempted from the 90 day extension under the new law.
1. A loan made, purchased, serviced or used as collateral by a California State or local housing finance agency.
2. Loans where the borrower (you) has surrendered the property, contracted with an organization regarding how to extend the foreclosure process, or filed for bankruptcy and the case has not been closed or dismissed.
All of the provisions of this new law will be repealed on January 1st, 2011 unless the California Legislature extends them.
To learn more about the law or other real estate issues visit http://www.foustonline.com/
If you're thinking of foreclosing or doing a short sale, please contact us. We will be glad to spend time answering all of your questions and helping you find the critical resources you will need during this challenging time.

My article introduces the dates, times and geography, then links to the official web site for the specific details.
Update: the Beach Studio Tour of Fall 2013
The details change each season for this semi-annual art tour, so it's worth checking.
By the way, this writing tip still is true; especially as their official site does a fine job of explaining what's on. My big job is simply inviting readers to check them out.
One Specific Writing Tip
The specific problem here is that there are 15 venues, 8 genres and 25 individual artists. It's painful to highlight a few, and redundant to copy all the information from the official site.
It was a different situation with "The 2013 Khalsa Day Parade in Toronto long after Vaisakhi", because there was no one official web site and details were sparse. I dug into the reference material and presented the most cogent guide to this annual Sikh New Year parade in Toronto. (At least, I think it's the best summary).
My specific writing tip for situations where the many details are already well handled by an official site is to let that site handle the minute details.
Concentrate on the big picture. I explained where the core of the Toronto Beach Art Studio Tour would be, and how many venues were outside those boundaries. I also included the dates and times, since that was a short paragraph.
You should do likewise. You might focus on one or two details that make the event interesting, or the "must-see" aspect of a tourist destination.
But unless you're comparing two products feature by feature, you don't need to list every detail.
Make art, not checklists; at least if you're covering a wide-ranging event like the Toronto Beach Art Studio tour.

Thoughtful tattoo advice from Matt Marcus, owner of Three Kings Tattoo Parlor in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Three Kings
For many, summer is the time to relive fantasies of that first/next tattoo. If you're thinking of getting your first tattoo, good for you! If your decision is spontaneous, you might want to balance it with some research and reflection.
I got my first tattoo in the summer, a stick-and-poke on my back, and totally forgot to lotion and protect it from water and direct sun. After a week, a friend was like, Girl, you better take care of that, it's a healing wound you know? I did and it turned out fine.
I talked to Matt Marcus, one of the owners of Three Kings Tattoo Parlor in Greenpoint, Brooklyn for some guidance on how not to mess up that spontaneous summer tattoo. As a high-end tattoo shop frequented by rock stars as well as punks visiting from out-of-state, with over 15 artists and sometimes long waiting lists, Three Kings Tattoo Parlor is one of the most respected shops in Brooklyn.

……Yesterday evening I got into my bus (for the last part of my daily loop) home bound and saw one of my bus mates- ZA who is an immigrant from Russia, sitting on the very first seat with a mile wide smile and a handful of lovely flowers; yellow roses, green hydrangeas, pink Tiger lillies, irises and many more…
She works as an Exec-Asst for an (Russian oil company) office at downtown Toronto and her boss the President is a Russian-Canadian. Even though he is on a holiday at New Zealand, he had ordered some flowers for her for 'Women's Day'. I 'ooh-aah'ed the flowers and told her that it was very thoughtful and a lovely gesture from her boss. She immediately said that in Russia, Women's Day -March 8th was and still is a big deal. They all have a day off and men go crazy buying their women lots of flowers, jewelleries and gifts.
My eyes must have opened up like a saucer for she started quickly recounting her past experiences from back home. Oh boy, she wasn't kidding. Check here
Russia is celebrating International Women's Day.
……………………..May 8th has been a day-off in Russia for many years now.
This Friday, Muscovites and the guests of the city can visit city museums for free, while women will be presented flowers at rest and recreation parks. The current ISS crew has traditionally offered congratulations to Russian women
Russian men to spend billions of rubles on March 8 gifts
Men in Moscow will spend an estimated 15-18 billion rubles on March 8 gifts for women, according to a survey conducted by the MAR Consult marketing firm.
The maximum average a man aged between 36 and 45 is prepared to spend on March 8 gifts for his near and dear is about 6,000 rubles.
Normally, one-tenth of that sum is spent on sweets and other confectionary goods.
Confectionary producers and flower sellers stand to gain the most from the March 8 International Women's Day.
Their profits normally go up 42-44%.
Voice of Russia, Vesti.ru, TASS
…..Anyone considering Moscow to live or visit? I think I would like to visit Moscow. Any man who treats his women right and any country that embraces and encourages it ranks high in my opinion. What say you?

All That You Need To Know About Hotels
Sometimes, staying in a hotel is unavoidable. It's unfortunate, but too many people learn too late that the room they booked is a bad one because they didn't know what to look for. You are reading the right article. The tips below are just what you need to get you started on planning your next getaway.
Before you choose a hotel and make reservations, check online review sites, such as TripAdvisor. Reviews allow you to read about recent experiences at a hotel. Their opinions can help you decide whether or not a certain hotel is the right one for you.
If you are hungry when you get to your hotel and do not want to leave, consider ordering room service. It may cost more, but it's convenient when you don't feel like leaving.
When leaving your hotel room, keep any electronics you have secure by putting them in the room's safe. You can put your iPad, GPS watch, and other small, costly items into the safe, and then head out for the day with peace of mind about their security.
There are quite a few things you need to think over when you're about to stay at a hotel. Of course price is a big deal, but a hotel close to where you are head is a big consideration. Amenities that help you choose a hotel are free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, exercise room, pool, and a restaurant on the premises. Try to get yourself a hotel with what you need in it when possible.
Make use of the various hotel search websites on the Internet. You will typically find websites that provide deals on certain hotel chains. On this type of site, you can find out the average and discounted rates of most hotels. Finally, they can also help you figure out when you want to go on your vacation and what you want to do there.
Prior to making a hotel reservation, check for deals online. Many times, the reservation specialist won't tell you of discounts when you call to book your room. It is your responsibility to find any available discounts. Look at Jetsetter, Enrovia and Hotels.com.
Know the hotel's check-in time. Some people end up waiting for their room to be available because they forget to check this critical detail. If you're going to come to the hotel before you should be checking in, call them first to see if there's anything they can do for you.
Taking a pet on a trip requires some extra responsibility. Make sure the hotel is actually pet-friendly. Be sure to bring some bags with you so you can pick up your pet's waste. When making your reservation, ask for a room at the end of the hall to spare other guests your pet noise.
To ensure that you and your special someone get the right couples massage during your stay, book your appointment as early ahead of time as you can. Many top masseuses book by name, so plan as early as possible.
Are you a member of the AAA? If so, find out about membership discounts at hotels. It may come as a surprise to find that an auto club membership offers hotel discounts, but that is the case. There are discounts at hotels around the country of 5 percent or more. It's a way to save money that can add up fast.
If you are someone who travels a lot, signing up for any hotel loyalty programs is probably a good idea. They have benefits for those who frequently stay at a hotel. You might earn a free upgrade, late checkout time, or other great perks.
The price you pay at a hotel often depends on the time frame in which you reserve the room. Availability is one factor that plays a part in cost. Try to book a specific room at least 24 hours ahead of time, but it's even better if you book weeks ahead of schedule. This will get you the best hotel rates. A room that's empty won't help the hotel, so generally they will get the price lowered.
Discuss what a hotel transfer will cost you prior to actually booking anything. Especially if you're in a situation where the room's price is a really good deal, the price of your transfer can make a big difference. Ask the hotel representative ahead of time to make sure you get the most savings.
Being a AAA member has many advantages when it comes to booking a hotel room. If you do a lot of traveling, the AAA membership can pay for itself, and you can also get deals on rental cars. Parents can also often enjoy a free car seat that comes with some rentals.
The bathroom is the first place to go when checking for bed bugs in your hotel room. This is probably not where you will find bedbugs. That is what makes it the best place to start. You can store your luggage there and search the rest of your room for those bedbugs. Kids and pets can stay there as well.
Check to see if your prospective hotel is non-smoking or smoking. If you're not a smoker, it may be wise to stay away from rooms that are for smoking. The smoke can settle into your clothing and luggage. In addition, some smokers will rent out non-smoking rooms and smoke in them. By choosing a hotel that does not allow smoking, you can completely avoid the smell of cigarettes.
As you already know, booking a hotel is a part of most people's lives. It's easy to wind up in a dreadful hotel if you don't do your research. You now know exactly what you need to know to find the nicest hotel room for your upcoming trips.

You will be serenaded by bullfrogs and dragonflies as you relax into slow-mode at the farm.
Of course, the goats will be calling for you to visit with them back in the barnyard. Our friendly farm animals love a scratch on the head or a handful of grain from the machine (a quarter for a handful of feed).

Photo was taken on the iPad mini using the Kaleidoscope effect in the Photo Booth app. Next I opened the image in Tangled FX where I created two versions – small details and cartoon. Both images were then opened in Juxtaposer and the blending mode was set to luminance with opacity at about 90 percent. To add the geometric shapes I opened the saved image in the Matter app. Finally I opened the image in iWatermark to add my watermark.
Here's what the original image looked like.

Acts of War are often invasions of peaceful countries but the Muslims raping young White girls must be considered an Act of War as it is carried out by a separate and homogeneous community imported into our country by the deceit of the elites against the interests of the indigenous people.
Can anyone imagine the great Lord Palmerston allowing aliens to gang rape our young girls? In 1850 for the assault on British subject Don Pacificos in Greece, a foreign country, he sent the navy and blockaded their ports Greece was under the joint protection of three powers: Russia and France protested against its coercion by the British fleet and the French ambassador temporarily left London. It was the cause of his declaration that British subjects ought everywhere to be protected by the strong arm of the British government against injustice and wrong; comparing the reach of the British Empire to that of the Roman Empire, in which a Roman citizen could walk the earth unmolested by any foreign power. This was the famous speech Civis Britannicus Sum based on Civis Romanus Sum.
His Gun Boat Diplomacy was to protect British subjects anywhere in the world. The low and worthless rulers we have now even cover up for aliens raping our young girls in our own towns and cities. Just compare girly Michael Gove with this great man. What an embarrassment!
The sight of the elites on Question Time talking away this reality to cover it up was sickening. (1) They unanimously agreed Jack Straw was a racist for hinting that Pakistani males are serial sex offenders against young white girls and would not even discuss the reality. (2) They didn't mention that Pakistani women must be virgins at marriage and risk assault or death if they step out of line. Michael Goves was a prig and the ultra-orthodox Jeanette Winterson made her feminist points. She is a "hater" - but only of fashionable targets like White males. I suggest you read her books of hate to see what she thinks of men. Are these vile, liars and cowards our representatives? Do they speak for us? No, we must protect our people ourselves and campaign to protect young White girls from the alliance of secrecy between the degenerate elites and Muslim child-rapists. When does the fight back start to protect our people - Now Occurrences that could cause us to revolt are first kept quiet but if it comes out they try to nullify its effects. This is why Muslim child-rapists are classed as criminals or we are encouraged to think they are the same as White paedophiles but they are from a different community and never do it to their own only other communities children like whites and Sikhs.
The police and social services kept these activities quiet for years and even tried to sue Channel 4 to stop them exposing it. Colin Cramphorn, CBE, QPM, DL, FRSA, Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, told a public meeting that we must "learn to live" with the rapes of young White children. Instead of doing their duty to combat crime the local police forces aided and abetted these evil crimes by covering them up.
Cramphorn persuaded channel Four to postpone its investigation Edge of the City as it would "increase community tensions" in the run up to local and European elections in 2004. This was police interference in the political process. This is how the elites stick together against the interests of the people they claim to serve. Channel Four had made the documentary with the co-operation of Bradford Social Services. They showed it after the election. The programme, featured alleged abuses of young White women by older Muslim men. Don't forget it was the corrupt Blackpool police who destroyed the case against two Muslim sickos who are thought to have chopped Charlene Downs up and sold her in Kebab meat. (3)
No wonder they persecute the BNP and EDL but cover up for Muslims military training. (4)
MI5 has been infiltrated by Muslim terrorists. MI5 is responsible for protecting Britain against national security threats yet may have recruited up to six al-Qaeda sympathisers. Six Muslim recruits were expelled including two who had been to training camps in Pakistan. others had unexplained gaps of up to three months unexplained. Two of the men had several weeks training while the other four were identified before they entered training. They are openly giving priority to recruiting Muslims.
In fact the police force admitted they can not or do not want to expel 8 al-Queda agents! Don't forget that MI5 did not know the 7/7 bombings of London was planned!!! (5)
London is the world centre for Muslim terrorism and this is being encouraged by the police and security services. We can disagree over the motives of our elites but not their intentions: they are encouraging Muslims to take over our country. There have been stories of young Muslims having terrorist training in remote areas in this country? Have MI5 noticed or do they deliberately allow it?
Throughout the 1980s and 90s the police and security services allowed Muslim terror groups financed by Saudi money to develop and to produce literature promoting hatred of Britain and Jewish communities.
Arab banks financed terrorist and anti-Western groups with the authorities allowing it. They even gave safe haven to terrorists wanted in other countries and allowed them to preach violence against us in the streets and arrested Brits who objected. The police protected the terrorists many of whom went on to mount terrorist attacks in other countries like Israel and America.
Abu Hamza, who was a significant figure in global terrorism, was allowed to incite murder and hatred of us and Jews; also, the police and MI5 allowed him to gather a massive stock of weapons for fighting us on our streets and recruit for terror cells.
Three of the London Bombers were influenced by him. To be fair the police did try to prosecute him twice but the CPS stopped it. Who in the CPS stopped it?
It was only when the Americans wanted him extradited did the authorities act as if to prevent him being sent to Guatanamo Bay in 2004. Then, Washington named Abu Hamza as a "terrorist facilitator with a global reach" and he was arrested pending extradition. Five months later, he was charged with 15 UK offences associated with his sermons and information contained in the Encyclopaedia of Afghan Jihad.
Parents have been bullied by the state out of advising their children not to mix with people from other ethnic groups. Further, the state has taken over the education of the majority of children through state education. The elites will try to stop it but we must form Home Schooling networks. In tandem with this the media present ethnics in a good light as bearers of virtue and cultural enrichment. This why we need traditional prejudice passed down from our ancestors: it save innocent people learning the hard way as these young girls have.
This innocence has a jagged edge. As I wrote, like the Soviet Union the elites are trying to bring our perceptions into line with their wishful thinking.
The recent, belated expose of the extent of Muslims gang-raping young White girls has at last brought an evil into the public consciousness. Progressives are trying to remove its sting: nullify it by adapting it to their unworldly ideology. If they do not Whites would start to revolt and there are a lot more of us. Its only by controlling what people are allowed to know that keeps the masses passive; even welfare entitlements and employing a large per cent of the population could lose their force if people knew it was a rival ethnic community that is raping young children.
Some recalcitrant facts could not be swayed away and remain: The Times investigation is based around 56 men convicted in the Midlands and north of England since 1997, 50 from Muslim backgrounds. Muslim men even hang around outside school-gates looking for young White girls to drug and rape but no teacher speaks out.
Former Labour MP Ann Cryer provoked an attempt to hide the truth in 2003 when she said the traditional culture of arranged marriages could have caused a criminal minority of Asian men to target vulnerable young white girls for sex.
No, but the gang raping of minors is criminal and the police and social services aided and abetted these predators by covering up.
Another attempt to falsify reality came from Mohammed Shafiq, director of the Lancashire-based Ramadhan Foundation, said last year: 'I think the police are overcautious because they are afraid of being branded racist. 'These men are criminals and should be treated as criminals — whatever their race.' this is the same excuse the Government used for IRA terrorists. That those political terrorists were criminals. We really must not take any notice of this cowardly twaddle.
In the Netherlands young white girls are gang-raped and used for prostitution by Moroccan pimps, known as 'loverboys'. Sweden is the rape capital of Europe – well, the Muslim parts are. (6)
To sample the official "conspiracy of silence" that allows hundreds of vulnerable white girls in some towns to be abused by Asian men: Ajmal Mohamed, a 43-year-old from Blackburn. In 2004, Mohammed, took a schoolgirl to a Manchester hotel room and got her drunk to celebrate her 14th birthday. The child ran away. Police were called, but he denied having sex with her and they issued him with a "child abduction warning letter". They allowed it to continue. He was never prosecuted.
Two years later, Mohammed took another 14-year-old to a hotel room in Blackpool and did rape this one. When the police arrested him they found the phone numbers of six other vulnerable young girls on his mobile phone. The police who let him off the first time have personal responsibility for the second attack and must be held accountable.
In industrial towns across the North and the Midlands, in just three years 51 people have been convicted in trials involving groups of men who have picked up young girls for gang raping and sexual exploitation. Forty-eight of the offenders were Asian; the vast majority of the victims were white. Recently, in Derby, nine men, eight of them Asian, were sentenced for their parts in a gang that groomed, sexually exploited and in some cases raped 27 local children, 22 of them white.
In 2006, Blackburn's local paper, the Lancashire Telegraph, launched a "Keep Them Safe" campaign to make the authorities tackle what it called "sexual grooming and abduction - which predominantly involves Asian men". In article after article, the paper charted locals' frustration at officials refusal o do what they are paid for and help the girls.
In 2007, the Lancashire Telegraph reported, that some parents had threatened to sue the police for their failure to act. The editor, Kevin Young, said: "This is an extremely sensitive subject, and the Telegraph gave it a lot of consideration before launching its campaign." They should sue the police for covering the widespread rape of children up.
Like the liars on QT the judiciary takes the side of foreign sex attackers. In October 2007 evil Judge Sir Henry Hodge stopped the deportation of a serial sex attacker because it would breach his human right to a family life. Hodge was an immigration busy trying to destroy our country. The foreigner admitted indecently assaulting 11 women in the previous five years and has committed a string of other offences including robbery, burglary, arson and drugs. But Hodge - husband of paedophile supporting Labour minister Margaret Hodge - ruled he should be allowed to stay because he came to the UK at the age of six and has almost no family left in West Africa. To support his decision, he cited article eight of the Human Rights Act, which gives a person the right to a family life.
That's it! Family life for vile perverts but ruined lives for the victims and no legal catharsis offered.
Another evil judge sentenced Stuart Wood, with previous convictions for violence and indecent assault on young girls, to just seven years for a vicious rape, then praised him for converting to Islam: "You have turned to Islam and this promises well for your future, particularly as you are now an adherent of a religion which respects women and self-discipline." (7)
Under Sharia Law, rape can only be proven if the rapist confesses or if there are four male witnesses. Women who allege rape, without the benefit of the act having been witnessed by four men who subsequently develop a conscience, are taken as confessing to having sex.
In America Alone Mark Steyn wrote that Europe will need a Balkans-style civil war is the only option for Europe:"Why did Bosnia collapse into the worst slaughter in Europe since the second World War? In the thirty years before the meltdown, Bosnian Serbs had declined from 43 percent to 31 percent of the population, while Bosnian Muslims had increased from 26 percent to 44 percent. In a democratic age, you can't buck demography — except through civil war. The Serbs figured that out, as other Continentals will in the years ahead: if you cannot outbreed the enemy, cull 'em. The problem that Europe faces is that Bosnia's demographic profile is now the model for the entire continent".
Thailand is degenerate to allow its children to be degraded and we must not compare ourselves to them. Its true that catholic priests abused children and the church covered it up but the problem here is that because it is Muslims doing it to White girls the responsible authorities like the police and social services cover it up.
These girls are being Raped and then groomed for Prostitution. To Muslims Whites are less than human and dehumanised with terms like Kuffar and Infidel. They hook young White girls on drugs and alcohol, and emotionally torture them. This is not about sex: If they wanted sex they could buy the services of prostitutes. They are easy to find and advertise. Why instead of that do they use drugs, alcohol and mental degradation on those girls and pass them around like pieces of meat? It is using our young women as the spoils of war. The deliberate degredation of non-Muslims, unbelievers, infidels? To emphasise the power, the supremacy, of Islam?
Anybody who has looked into the eyes of someone when they howl with pain at the sexual abuse they suffered as a child would know what wicked and despicable people are the scum on Question Time, the judiciary and the police for covering this up. What is clear is that our civilisation is being dragged down to the level of a third-world hell hole of savages. It is plain that Muslims have no place here and must be deported. The authorities are terrified of us revolting and yet they are making that inevitable by their appeasement of the perpetrators of these Acts of War.

Lamentablemente llego al taller un Portatil Acer Aspire con este problema, lo intente de todas las maneras mencionadas y no llego a ningún lado. Por consiguiente no me quedo otra que Googlear, leyendo leyendo caigo en la misma piedra. En algunos foros yankis alguien mensiona contactarse con el fabricante para conseguir una contraseña maestra, pero navegando en las FAQS de Hitachi vuelve la piedra:
A: Unfortunately, there is no way to bypass the security password feature of Hitachi hard disk drives. If the password is not known or has been misplaced, Hitachi will not be able to assist in gaining access to the data on the drive.
Para sacarse las dudas les dejo el enlace: http://www.hitachigst.com/support/index-files/general-faqs-index#a13
Y si quieren mas información:
Hard Disk PasswordIt is not a very well known fact, but all hard disks have a very strong hardware password capability build in. This password is usually stored both in a chip on the HD controller (the printed circuit board on the hard disk) and on the hard disk itself in a special hidden sector.
Setting this password will make the hard disk completely unusable to anyone that doesn't know it. And not only on your computer, but on any computer. A lot of newer laptops will set the HD password together with the BIOS password, completely locking all the hardware.
The hard disk manufacturers are unable to unlock a password protected hard disk, as there aren't any "secret" master passwords build into the firmware. Even swapping the controller of the password-protected hard disk with exactly the same controller from an unprotected HD will not remove the protection on most disks, as the password (together with most of the firmware) is also stored on the hard disk itself. The only way of retrieving any files from a password protected hard disk without knowing the password is to send it to a data recovery company for unlocking, but not all data recovery companies could or would unlock a password protected HD.
In this time of rising identity theft, protecting your personal data by locking your hard disk with a password is indeed a good idea. The downside is that when the HD eventually malfunctions it will be harder or even impossible to retrieve any files from it. So, the first rule of using a computer applies here in full strength – "Your data is only as good as your latest backup"!

Quick note about the crane thing, just because I'm curious what people have to say about it. I'll say this: the "cause of the accident is still unknown," but speculation is pretty easy — sloppiness caused by cost-cutting and rushing on the job site. Also, you probably heard this already but the building the crane fell on was the house that was in Something about Mary, and the specific room it destroyed was being used as the construction site's Safety Office.construction

unfortunately two people died. and my hearts go out to them, and those that were hurt. But i can't go about it without mentioning that the house it destroyed was never wanted by the developers. It remained due to many public outcries to keep it there. Now it wouldn't surprise me the house will be deemed dangerous and will be torn down, providing a beautiful entrance for the developers million dollar building.
It's an unfortunate thing, but i don't think this was an "accident".

Kazaam! Good shot, Robert!
- Mike aka mefx1 Thu Mar 27, 01:48 PM #
the crane thing is horrible…i have seen a man die firsthand from a crane type machine tumble and let me tell you something…landing on a metal spiked fence looked like something out of a horror movie…. (this really did happen…it was like miami beach on abbott ave like a few years ago…)and the body stayed impaled only 5 feet away from me…just horrible…
- Robert Thu Mar 27, 03:08 PM #
no doubt Mike
- mapache Mon Mar 31, 10:28 PM #
Robert do you actually think someone would murder those people to get a house demolished and then try to cover it up as an accident with all the insurance liability something like that would entail?. Do you have any idea how much this accident will cost the developers, contractors and everyone involved in setting up that crane? Way more than a beautiful entrance on the million dollar condo. These people will lose a lot of money because of this, not to mention the lives of those construction workers. I'm sorry but i have to disagree with you on this guys.

What's essential to an artist's space? Here are the 5 must haves;1. Good lighting. Essential for creating art. Place your work area near a window or invest in a good light. Although nothing beats natural light, making sure you have access to a good craft light will give you the freedom to create day or night.
2. Place for tools. Tin cans, glass jars, anything you can store your necessities in. Watch for sales on standing tool boxes at your local hardware store. They have lots of drawers to store brushes, paints, and glue guns. A shelf or peg board would be great to keep them off you're desk and give you a bigger work area. See a peg board idea here.
3. Storage for Creations. Whatever your medium, you'll need somewhere to stash your goods. Canvas, rocks, wood, or whatever your artist eye needs. Wooden crates, shelves, or even a nearby closet if you can spare the room, can be used to keep things organized.
4. Access to water. Most art requires some water for the creation or the clean up. A perfect place would have a deep sink to clean brushes, pallet knives, or whatever.
5. Privacy. This one is hard in some households, but art takes concentration. If you have a place where you can block out the world for at least a few hours, you're lucky.
So what does your Art Studio have? What does it need?
