Housing deal in offing in Basalt
The Aspen Times
Aspen, CO, Colorado
ASPEN – Pitkin County is poised to purchase a second Basalt townhouse to be used for worker housing. It could have a lot of prospective takers.
The purchase price for the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home in the Columbines at Elk Run is $330,000, but the intention is to make it available to the general work force as rental housing at the Category 1 level – the least expensive price range in the Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority guidelines.
The county can make the unit available at Category 1 rental rates without significant subsidy, and it would fulfill a need local governments haven't addressed within the housing program, said County Manager Jon Peacock. The lack of a subsidy is calculated by considering how much the county will spend on the unit and recoup in rent versus what it would have earned by investing the money spent on the unit, he said.
Applicants must qualify as full-time workers in Pitkin County under the authority's rules, but County Commissioner Rachel Richards suggested Tuesday that the housing office consider holding a lottery, or drawing, to pick the renter of the unit. Lotteries typically are conducted for sale units in the worker housing inventory, not rentals.
"I would anticipate a lot of people will be anxious to get a Category 1," she said. "You have to be careful about how you put a unit that rare on the market."
The maximum monthly rent for a Category 1, three-bedroom unit is $802, according to the housing authority guidelines. No such unit currently exists in the housing inventory, according to Cindy Christensen, housing authority operations manager. Most Category 1 units are geared for single occupants.
Christensen couldn't predict what kind of interest the unit will attract, but called the price a "strong selling point" for a family that wants to rent in Basalt.
The county has already purchased a three-bedroom Elk Run unit that will be rented to a county-government employee at a Category 2 or 3 rate.
An employee with two dependents and a salary of $49,000 to $68,000 would qualify for the Category 2 rental rate, which has a range of $802 to $1,270 per month.
"We have high demand right now for the one unit," County Manager Jon Peacock said.
If multiple county-government employees who each have a family that can fill three bedrooms express interest, a drawing likely will be used to pick the occupant, he said.
The county has embarked on an effort to purchase perhaps a dozen individual units, using part of more than $10 million in accumulated housing funds. The two Basalt townhomes are the first purchases.
Commissioners confirmed Tuesday that all of the purchased units should be rentals, with half going to county government employees and half offered to qualified workers in the community. They also agreed on other general policies regarding the housing.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Austin City Council members finally have come to their senses regarding their secret search for a new city manager. Better late than never, as the saying goes.
Reversing course on Thursday, council members now say they will release up to five finalists' names as early as Friday or next week.
Too bad Mayor Steve Adler and the council woke up only after a wave of public criticism, stakeouts by reporters outside their closed meetings and hide and seek games with candidates. Regrettably, their reversal comes after the American-Statesman filed a lawsuit, stating the city had violated Texas open government laws.
A change of heart, while welcome, won't erase the poor judgment the council showed in voting unanimously to go along with a misguided recommendation from a private firm hired to find candidates to replace Marc Ott, who left the post a year ago to take a job in Washington, D.C.
The council in March made that decision, voting to keep all candidate names secret until a single finalist was picked.
Incredibly, the firm, Russell Reynolds, persuaded Adler and the other 10 council members that the city would attract a bigger and better pool of applicants for reasons only the naïve would believe: Top applicants might not apply for the job that pays more than $300,000 a year if they knew their current employers might find out they are looking elsewhere.
By now employers, be they governmental entities or private companies, understand the rules of the game when it comes to hiring top managers, school superintendents, CEOs, police chiefs and administrators. You look for that talent in other people's backyards.
Typically, those people are working in public or private sector jobs elsewhere when they are approached by recruiters. That practice is called headhunting. And let's get real. Why would Austin or another entity want a manager who isn't thought well enough of to be headhunted?
We know that from our own experience. Before securing the job of police chief for Houston's police department, Art Acevedo turned up in searches by the cities of Dallas and San Antonio to fill top cop posts there. That was during his tenure as Austin police chief.
The city knew it had a good police chief and was aware of others trying to woo him away. As we've witnessed in the city's current search for city manager, secrecy is elusive.
The Statesman's Elizabeth Findell and Philip Jankowski have identified five of the eight candidates the council interviewed over two days last week: Miami City Manager Daniel Alfonso; Minneapolis City Administrator Spencer Cronk, Ann Arbor City Administrator Howard Lazarus; Chattanooga Chief Operating Officer Maura Black Sullivan and former Tulsa City Manager Jim Twombly.
With tactics such as shielding candidates faces as they walked past reporters or moving applicant interviews to an undisclosed location at Austin-Bergstrom International airport – racing away in vans to a room blocked from the public by airport security to escape reporters – the process turned into an embarrassing episode for the council.
As these things were unfolding, I was copied on an email from Austin attorney Bill Aleshire, a former Travis County Judge and passionate advocate of open government. His words stuck with me: "It is not adherence to the letter of open government laws that achieves transparency. Real transparency results only when government officials hold a deep and sincere respect for the people's right to know what occurs in the people's government.
"For public servants, that means that, even if your attorney tells you that you can technically do something sneaky, you just don't do it because it betrays a commitment to real transparency."
I hope council members will remember and live by those words. Instead of meeting behind closed doors for business that should be done in public, they should throw open the doors. Wide.

For a high-flying tech startup preparing for an initial public offering, here was a truly horrendous piece of news: Its rising-star chief executive stood accused of brutally beating his girlfriend in a half-hour long bout of violence that police later said was captured on video.
That was the situation confronted this week by RadiumOne, a San Francisco-based online-advertising firm that specializes in data-driven content. By week's end, its 31-year-old CEO, Gurbaksh Chahal, dodged dozens of felonies, escaped prison time and pled guilty to lesser misdemeanor charges.
You may have never heard of RadiumOne, but the five-year-old startup was by no means unknown in tech and media circles. Along with striking vendor deals with media giants like Condé Nast Britain and raising tens of millions in venture-capital funding over the last year, the company had been rumored to be gearing up for a secret IPO, hoping to ride a wave of recent through-the-roof tech offerings like Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR). RadiumOne's offering was recently in the final stages of preparation, according to anonymous sources cited by Bloomberg, and the company was riding high on a cash infusion from the likes of high-profile VC firms such as Crosslink Capital, Adams Street Partners and Trinity Ventures.
But on Thursday, Chahal's name went viral for all the wrong reasons after news circulated that he was offered a plea deal and will serve no jail time in the domestic-violence case -- this despite the reported existence of video footage that is said to show Chahal hitting and kicking his girlfriend a staggering 117 times. Earlier this month, a judge ruled the video inadmissible as evidence, saying it was removed from Chahal's apartment illegally. The victim, meanwhile, has reportedly been uncooperative with investigators, according to the San Francisco Business Times. Chahal, who had been facing 45 felonies, pled guilty to two misdemeanors: one count of domestic violence battery and one count of battery. The remaining charges were dropped, and Chahal got off with three years of probation, 25 hours of community service and a 52-week domestic-violence training program.
Public response to the sentence has been harsh, with Facebook users flooding the RadiumOne Facebook page with a stream of angry comments. Many said Chahal should step down or be fired. "Oust the CEO if you want to stay in business," one person wrote. "He may have gotten away with beating a woman and not serving jail time, but he shouldn't be allowed to continue running a company."
It was a similar story on Twitter, with countless angry tweets aimed at the @RadiumOne and @gchahal accounts, as well as the accounts of some of Chahal's financial backers. Although few laypeople could probably explain exactly what RadiumOne is, many were quick to call for boycotts, while others went after more visible targets, including the aforementioned Condé Nast, whose publications some Twitter users vowed to stop reading (and writing for).
In a statement to International Business Times, Condé Nast U.S. was quick to clarify that it's the British division of the company that has a relationship with RadiumOne. "Condé Nast is not and has never been an investor in or partner of RadiumOne," the representative said. "Our Britain division has a vendor relationship for sales software with the company, as do many other U.K.-based media companies. We do not condone abusive behavior and the U.K. company is reviewing its association."
A spokeswoman for RadiumOne has not responded to a request for comment. IBTimes also contacted individual members of RadiumOne's board of directors, none of whom responded to question about Chahal's future as CEO.
They're not the only ones not talking. In an unusual attempt to deflect the groundswell of calls for his dismissal on Thursday, Chahal himself took to Twitter to affirm his innocence, calling the charges "exaggerated" and "overblown," and insisted that he was "cornered" into taking the plea deal. He also claimed to be a victim of a "political witch hunt" (some conservative publications have highlighted Chahal's financial support of Democratic causes) and told those quick to believe the allegations to just "grow up." By Friday morning, his tweets had been deleted.
His critics are not likely to go away, however. Chahal is quickly entering the realm of tech infamy occupied by Brendan Eich, who stepped down as CEO of Mozilla earlier this month amid criticism over a six-year-old contribution to an anti-gay-marriage initiative. While no shortage of commentators took note of the admittedly disturbing elements of Eich's trial-by-Twitter-mob dismissal, some are saying the backlash against Chahal isn't loud enough, at least not from within an insular tech community that has long been criticized as a walled-off boys' club.
But calls for Chahal's dismissal had only amplified by Friday afternoon, with angry tweets and Facebook posts pouring in by the second -- far too many for Chahal, or his financial backers, to delete or ignore.
Updated Sunday, 1:15 p.m.:
RadiumOne's board voted to fire Chahal. The company issued the following statement on Sunday:
"At a board meeting yesterday evening, RadiumOne's board of directors voted to terminate the employment of Gurbaksh Chahal as CEO and Chairman of the company. Bill Lonergan, the company COO, will take over as CEO of the Company immediately. Bill has an extraordinary professional background and has helped build Blue Lithium and RadiumOne into industry leading brands. We are confident he will continue Radium One's impressive trajectory."

Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated Chahal's age. It is 31.

Nationwide Children's Hospital is one of the first businesses in the state to be awarded the Healthy Ohio Breastfeeding Friendly Employer Award by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).
"Companies like Nationwide Children's realize that supporting breastfeeding is an excellent way to improve the health of our community's littlest members," said ODH Director, Ted E. Wymyslo, M.D. "Children who are breastfed have a reduced risk of many health problems including diabetes, asthma, childhood cancer and obesity."
"Nationwide Children's Hospital breastfeeding initiatives give mothers the support, confidence and skills to successfully breastfeed their baby," said Ihuoma Eneli, MD, medical director of the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "We encourage exclusive breastfeeding for six months to reduce the risk for infections especially in the first year of life and for optimal nutrition for the baby. Also, breast milk contains essential nutrients for eye and brain development. We are also excited about the opportunities to retain and encourage valuable employees through these programs that promote healthy families."
"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, low rates of breastfeeding add $2.2 billion a year to medical costs. Babies who are formula-fed instead of breast-fed tend to require more doctor visits, hospitalizations and prescriptions," said Dr. Wymyslo. "These costs are significant enough that a 2010 study published in the journal Pediatrics estimated that the country would save $13 billion per year in health care and other costs if 90 percent of U.S. babies were exclusively breastfed for six months."
Dr. Wymyslo also noted that supporting breastfeeding makes good business sense. Studies have found that breastfeeding reduces absenteeism rates on the part of new mothers and increases their productivity.
Ohio is committed to promoting and protecting a mother's right to breastfeed her child for as long as she chooses, whether or not she returns to work. Doctors recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months after birth for the optimal health of a mother and her child.
The Ohio Department of Health, with the assistance of the Ohio Lactation Consultant Association and other breastfeeding advocates around the state, developed the Healthy Ohio Breastfeeding Friendly Employer Award to acknowledge employers who establish and maintain comprehensive, high-quality breastfeeding support programs for their employees.
Nationwide Children's Hospital is one of 18 businesses in Ohio to be honored and one of 9 to receive the Silver award from the Ohio Department of Health.
The Healthy Ohio Breastfeeding Friendly Employer Award will be awarded annually and 2012 applications will be available online in the summer of 2012. For more information about the award and other ways ODH supports healthy behavior, please visit www.healthyohioprogram.org, or contact Kristen Marschner at email@example.com or (614) 466-2248.

Polymer Substrates and Foils
Some interesting materials that are useful in microfluidics, in particular a range of different polymers, are
either not commercially available as plate materials or not of sufficient quality for the special
requirements of microfabrication. If you are in need of plain substrate material, e.g. for hot embossing
experiments or as unstructured platform for surface chemistry experiments, we can provide you with
substrates in our standard formats like the microscopy-slide, the ¼-microtiterplate (43 mm x 64 mm) or
round substrates with a diameter of 115 mm. Wafers, to be used, for instance, as substrates for hot
embossing, come in several units in one package. If surface quality matters, each wafer is separately
The dimensions of the substrates may differ in the range of 0.5 % depending on the material.
If the material or the color you require is not listed, we are happy to provide you with a special quote for

Sermon for Sunday, September 5, 2004
1st sermon in a 17 part series
"One Church: Many Pictures"
"Being in Him Means Being His Church"
Copyright 2004 G. Charles Sackett
I don't know about you but I think a $1,000 is quite a bit to pay for a parking spot. That's what a lady paid for a parking meter in South Africa. She reached into her purse and she took out an 1890 gold Kruger and she stuck it in the parking meter. She didn't get any extra time. She just lost a $1,000.
I read that article and I thought how in the world would you ever be in a position that you would have, in your pocket, among your other change, a $1,000 coin. Well, she had more than one of these and rather than put them in a safe place, she just tossed them in her coin drawer with all of her other coins and she reached in and grabbed a handful, stuck them in her purse, reached in her purse, stuck the gold coin into the parking meter and paid a $1,000 to park her car.
That's what happens when you treat the sacred as common. When you allow that which is really important to be placed over here in the category of, well, it's just like every other thing in my life. It's so easy to allow that which is really significant to become so common to us that we stop remembering just how significant it really is.
If you're a typical person who is a Christian and you have come to faith in Christ and given yourself to him and your living out your faith, chances are you sit in a church building like this some place, 50 60, 70 times a year. Sunday morning rolls around and you don't know any better than to get out of bed, get dressed and go to church, we would call it. You know, and, if you're not careful that kind of common routine becomes just that, a common routine rather than the recognition that the church is something special, sacred.
Of course I need to define terms because when I say the church, I'm certainly not talking about the building. It's just bricks and mortar. We're not even talking about the congregation, although that, in itself, is a way that the word church is used. We're really talking about us, because we are the church. When we assemble and gather together, we become, well, one of multiple images.
There are about a hundred different metaphors for the church in the New Testament. I'm not going to go through all hundred of them today. But this Fall we want to spend some time thinking and talking about what it means to be the church. We're going to spend a lot of time actually in 1Corinthians 12 over the next several weeks just looking at different pieces of that picture that Paul paint for what it means to be a part of this thing we call church.
This morning I just want to take a broad overview. I just want to paint a couple of pictures of how the New Testament describes who we are. For example, we are the body of Christ. Therefore we demonstrate his presence or we exhibit his presence, we express his presence in the world.
Look for example over here in 1Corinthians 12, the text that we'll come back to repeatedly over the course of the next several weeks. 1Corinthians 12:27 talking to this congregation that gathers in the city of Corinth. . . . . .he says in 1Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And in the church God has appointed of all. . . . . . and he lists a variety of ways in which we express what it means to be a part of that body. We, each one, are parts of this whole. We'll look at that carefully over the weeks.
Come over just a few pages to the book of Ephesians. . . . .just a dozen or so pages to the right in your Bible. Ephesians 1. Toward the end of his prayer in Ephesians 1 when he reminds them that he regularly prays for them down here in Ephesians 1:22 he says, And God placed all things under his feet (talking about Jesus) and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
If you come over to Ephesians 5 in this marvelous image about Christ and the church. In Ephesians 5:23 he says, . . . . .Christ is the head of the church, his body. . . . .
We are his body. We express his presence in the world. God has always had a presence. He's never been left without one. In the Garden of Eden he literally walked and talked with Adam and Eve. If they wanted to see God, apparently they just voiced their desire to see Him and He showed up. Rare privilege, I guess.
After the fall of humanity God seemed to work primarily through the patriarchs and if you wanted some kind of contact with God you went to the head of the family line--to Abraham, or to Isaac, or to Jacob and they were able to contact God.
A few generations later, he said, what I want you to do is build me this really funny looking tent and you're gonna carry it around out there in the wilderness with ya, but I want you to know that when you set that tent up and there is this cloud over the top of it, or there is this shining light settled down into that back room, you'll know I'm there. When it's time to move, I'll move and you follow. Two generations later they solidified that into a magnificent temple in Jerusalem and he settled in and that was his presence. If you wanted God, you went to the temple.
Years passed, a thousand of them, about, and one day there was an announcement made. A child has been born. His name is Emanuel which means, God with us and Jesus came in human flesh. John says he set his tent up. It's the same word for that Old Testament tent that they carried around in the wilderness. He became incarnate with us. And if you wanted to know where God was you went to where Jesus is. After a few years, he left. And you know what he left behind? US!
He says, if you want to know what God is like, take a look at Christians . If you want to find my presence, find some Christians because that's where I am. If I go away, I will send someone who will come to you. His Spirit will dwell within you and we will literally be his presence in the world. We are his body, trying to do in the world, what he would do if he were here.
And so there's a whole industry that has probably now lost its, oh, real imagination. We haven't used it much in the last four or five years I suppose, with that WWJD thing. What would Jesus do?. . . .was an attempt to try to capture people's imagination about being Christ in the world because that's who we are. We are his representation. We live here so that God could come among us and we could see what God is like.
So you get these interesting texts. Like whatever you do, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Whatever you do, do all to the glory of the Lord. We try to do things in a way that allow people to see the Spirit of Jesus being lived out in their presence. And so, we do really strange things. Once in awhile we'll have a dinner for those who have become members of our church in recent weeks and the people who serve the dinner are the elders. And they'll wait the tables and bring the drinks and set up the tables and tear down the tables and clean up afterwards because they want you to understand that those who are leading in the body are the ones who are primarily serving in the body because Jesus was a servant and we want you to have an image of that.
Most of you know that next Sunday we'll not be in this building. Oh, just in case you didn't know that, next Sunday, unless it's raining, we won't be in this building. We'll be over in MoorMan Park at nine o'clock having church, because the church will be there and a part of that is gonna be at 9:30ish, depending on how long the preacher talks. We're going to gather up a bunch of bags and gloves and we're gonna hit the streets of Quincy and we're gonna go out and perform an act of service in an attempt to say to the community, This is what we think Jesus might do. He would be alive and well among us doing "stuff," because we want people to understand that we are literally his hands, his feet in this world.
Well, that's not the only image. It's one of multiple images in the New Testament. One of the images for the church is that we are his body, expressing his presence in the world.
Another image of the church is that we are His bride. We're at least becoming his bride. We aren't literally married to Him yet because the wedding has yet to occur. We all are waiting for the bridegroom to arrive, is the language that the Scripture uses. But as his bride we demonstrate and exercise faithfulness in the world. We show people what it's like to be faithful to our groom.
Look over at 2Corinthians. There's this interesting comment that Paul makes in the first part of 2Corinthians 11:1-4. Paul says, 2Corinthians 11:1 I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness; but you are already doing that. I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. . . .
He says, I'm a little concerned about you because you seem to be easily distracted from your future mate. You have been engaged to Christ. In Jewish culture, that might as well have been marriage. You had to have a rit of divorce to get out of an engagement.
I confess to you, I was. . . . .I am fascinated by bachelor parties. Let me tell you why I'm fascinated by them. I think they're repulsive. When you take a man who has espoused himself to a woman and said, I will be faithful to you for the rest of my life and then you throw temptation in front of him just at the last minute and you ask him to divide his loyalties.
Any young lady who will allow her future husband to go to one of those parties ought to call off the wedding. Now, I just overstated the case. I'm a father of three daughters, you have to understand that.
There's something about the loyalty of marriage, the faithfulness of a relationship that is captured in the image of Christ in the church.
We had the privilege of celebrating a bit around here yesterday with the Weisenborn's 50 years. And somebody said. That's getting a little rare these days. It really is.
We just celebrated 34 years a couple three weeks ago and I'm thinking 50!, that's 16 more she's got to put up with me. I don't know if she's got it in her.
When we first got married, I was preaching in Oregon and a friend of mine, in fact, the fella that won me to the Lord in the first place, came and lived in our area so he could do some youth ministry for us, held down a job cause we couldn't afford to pay him. We learned that the local golf course would allow preachers to play for free. So I had a day off during the week and so on my particular day off Dan and I would head early to the golf course and we would spend our day playing golf.
My wife doesn't hide her feelings very well. It didn't take long before I discovered she wasn't particularly thrilled with me spending my day off with Dan instead of her. Since I'm still married, I guess you know who won!
You know I've thought about that a lot because when you become a Christian you engage yourself to Jesus and then people come along. . . . .oh, sometimes they're not people, sometimes there events, sometimes it's recreation, sometimes it's work, sometimes it's other things and it tries to crowd out your loyalty to Christ. And the next thing you know, instead of being really engaged to Jesus wholeheartedly, you begin to find your loyalties split with other things. Being the bride of Christ means being faithful to Him just like you would be your spouse or in our culture, more so. The bride means expressing this level of faithfulness that means that we will do whatever we have to do to protect our relationship with Him. Just like we would protect our relationship with our spouse, no matter what.
Well, there is the image of the body. There is the image of the bride. There is also the image of the temple or the building. We are, he says, the church, the building of God, the temple of God in which we express praise in the world.
Look over at 1Peter 2, toward the back of your Bibles. 1Peter 2:4-5 we have this interesting statement and then down a little further 1Peter 2:9-10. 1Peter 2:4 As you comd to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and previous to him--you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
You come down a bit further
1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
We live in a world that doesn't want to offer God honor and praise and he calls upon us to be those who demonstrate genuine praise to God, to worship, oh, in a sense probably much larger than just the sense of what we do in here. But to turn our very life, our activity into worship so that when we cut the grass we do it as a worship act. When we fix the plumbing we do it as a worship act. When we type a letter we do it as a worship act. In fact, what you will hear next Sunday, if you didn't remember, we're gonna go to the park next Sunday and we're gonna leave the park and go into the city and we want you to understand that in cleaning up, that's an act of worship as we honor God in what we do. We declare his praises and some of that happens as we declare his praises right back to Him. That's worship. But in some ways we declare his praise as we say to our friends, Don't you want to know Jesus too? Let me tell you what he's done in our lives. Let me tell you the difference he's made as we declare his praises the way that he impacts us.
So we invite our friends to a thing like going to the park or to our Christmas cantata and we give them an opportunity to have the same relationship with Jesus that we have. We're his body. We express his presence. We are his bride. We demonstrate faithfulness. We are the building, his temple, where we express his praise.
Let me do just one more just briefly. And that is we are his family. That image in Scripture is so clear that we are brothers and sisters in the Lord and we express this relationship that we have to him in such a way that people begin to understand what it means to honor one another and respect one another and to see how Christians interact with each other.
If you go over to Galatians 6--it's an, almost strange remark. Paul is writing to these Galatians churches. He starts out in Galatians 6:10 in a way that I suppose would, we would understand.
Therefore, Galatians 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, {Now that sounds very Christian. That sounds like what I would expect the preacher to talk like but do you notice how he finishes the verse?} especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
There is a legitimate discrimination in Scripture whereby we treat people in the body of Christ differently than we treat the world. We treat them with more dignity, with more respect. Paul would say to the church that he writes to in 1Timothy when he says to this young preacher. Tell these Christians to treat each other well. Treat the older men with dignity. Don't be disrespectful to older people. Treat them as you would your father.
Well, some of you may have been like me growing up and you didn't treat your father very respectfully and so you have to relearn that but, treat the older men as fathers, the older women as your mother, the younger men as your brothers and the younger women as your sisters with all purity, he says. It creates a new kind of relationship whereby we call each other brother and sister and we treat each other with dignity and respect.
We demonstrate something to the world that they don't fully understand. Some of us didn't grow up treating people with respect, I don't know, maybe we just didn't figure it out. I don't know, my parents were always respectful to people. Ah, maybe it's just teenagers, you know. Well, I wasn't quite a teenager, probably still on the front edge of that, maybe 12. That would be about 5th grade, right? Walking down the hallway at the elementary school where I went being a smart-mouthed 5th grader, I said to my friend something about "Old Lady Post". That was our 5th grade teacher. The next thing I knew, I was standing with my back to the locker. There was a hand around my neck pinning me to the locker. I was looking up at a guy about 6'2" with white hair and a great big handlebar mustache and he said, "What did you say?" He was our baseball coach and our janitor and today he'd probably be fired. Back then I just said, I. . .I. . .I ah. . . .I ah. He said, "You won't say that again." I. . .I. . .I ah, No I won't and I didn't!
We're brothers and sisters. We treat each other with respect, something the world doesn't understand.
We've just looked at these four simple images. We're the church. We're a body. We're a bride. We're a family. We're a temple. You know we use that language differently all the time, don't we? Someone will say, I'll tell ya what, I'll meet ya at the church. Well, I know what they mean. They mean 4700 Broadway, it's a building. Used to be a store. But I know what they mean, or they'll say, Are you going to church on Sunday? Well, they don't really mean, the building, they mean are you going to come together and worship with the other folks to do the church "stuff"?
Sometimes they'll say things like; We, we're, we are going to church and they mean more than just we're gonna go together but we are something, we're a collection, a body. We belong to this church. Those are all legitimate uses. We probably need to be careful with the vocabulary because we don't want to confuse people, but what I really want us to understand is that we, WE are the church. It's not a place. It is a people but somehow we have to get to the place that we understand it's us. And the way I choose to live my life, not just on Sunday morning, but from the time I leave here till I come back, I live out the faith of a believer and I demonstrate to the world what it means to be the church, to show them Christ, alive and well, among us. We literally are his hands, his feet in the world. We choose to make a difference. To participate in his life. We look at our Scripture and we're reminded that we are the body of Christ. We come here week after week reminded that we have decisions to make about being the church.
I don't know what decision you need to make. Maybe you're a believer. You've already been baptized into Christ but you just don't have a place that you call your church. Maybe this is your place. If we can help you with that we'd love to do that. If you've got questions about who we are, please ask us and let us talk about how you might serve Christ as a part of this part of His body. Maybe you've never become a part of Him, because the very way that you get into. . . . . . . . get into the church because being a Christian and being part of the church are one and the same. If you don't know what to do with that, then we would invite you to ask. Let us talk with you about how that works.
Maybe you've been sitting here and you know,. . . .you know that the decision you need to make is simply to become a Christian. It's such a simple thing. He just says, believe in Me. Believe in my Son. Repent of your sins. Turn your back on that which is wrong. Confess my name before men and identify yourself with me in Christian baptism and we'll walk together forever. Maybe that's your decision, I'm not sure.
But we come to this part of our service every week with this invitation and if we can help you come to know Jesus better or if we can help you express your relationship with Jesus better, that's why we're here.
Would you stand with me while we sing. Let this express your thinking.

The National Football League is a unique obsession for American sports fans. Of course the Yankees love to see men crush each other on the field and score touchdowns and watch cheerleaders do their thing. But the amount of gambling on American football dwarfs many other industries in the United States.
Enthusiasts drop billions of dollars per year betting on NFL games. The score straight up, against the spread, the over/under on the amount of points in the game and loads of side bets, or as the Americans call them, prop bets.
Get this: at the Super Bowl each year, there is even a popular prop bet on how long the singer will stretch out their version of the United States' national anthem. The list of side bets is enormous.
But we won't focus there. Let's examine how to make money betting on the actual games and the outcomes. All you need to know about betting on American football is right here in this post.
Last year's Super Bowl was one of the most exciting in the NFL's history. The Atlanta Falcons were leading the New England Patriots by a blowout score for most of the first 3 quarters. Then Tom Brady and the Patriots staged an epic comeback to beat the Falcons and win the championship.
That makes New England one of the favorites to win in 2017. So Las Vegas, the national seat of sports betting in America has the Patriots projected to be one of the top teams in the NFL, with leading oddsmakers expecting New England to rack up 11 wins this year. When that number was announced, so many people started betting on the Patriots to exceed that number, that the oddsmakers raised their projections to 11.5 wins in 2017. That is one of ways that betting on football works in America.
The same thing happens at the bottom of the spectrum. The Cleveland Browns were one of the worst teams in the NFL last year, so early Vegas bookmakers expected them to win only 4 out of 16 games in 2017. The betting public was more bullish on the Browns, for some reason, so Vegas pushed their projections up to 4.5 wins. Now, it is tough to get someone in Las Vegas to take your bet that the Browns will win less than 4.5 games in 2017.
That is the ultimate lesson about betting on American football. Get in on the good bets early. Once the feelings in Vegas are made public, bettors all over the country will start to make their feelings known. Vegas will move where the money tells them to go. It is up to sophisticated bettors from all over the world to get on their bets early and try to lock in easy wins.

Considerations to marrying a Russian woman
1. The women you see on the internet really do exist and their expectations a much more greater than simply having a male foreign pen-pal. The difficulty lies in finding an agency which is reputable and in sifting thought the scammers and real women. Russian women on the internet are young and beautiful. Their culture deems they get married at a young age.
2. If you contact a woman and win her heart, yes you can marry. You cannot marry her unless you win her heart.
3. Yes some Russian women are desperate to leave Russia. However, most are not. Russian women are highly intelligent and will not marry you unless they are made to feel secure in their choice.
4. Gandhi once said, "Be the change in the world you desire." This is so true. If you want your women to love and respect you, please love her and respect her too.
5. If you marry a woman for her body, do not be surprised if she married you for your money.
6. Always consider the broader impact this process will have. Marrying a woman is not a light step. You will need to present yourself to show your true side. When she arrives in your country, her life will change forever. She can never go back for stigmatization and in many respects; such a separation will have the same emotional impact as a divorce.
7. Start by educating yourself as much as possible. Stay away from the sites, which will only present the beautiful side of Russian/Western marriages. There is an ugly side and you must be aware of this. You must know about the lack of transparency and legislation in this business. Know your rights.
8. It is highly advisable to join an e-group or forum designed for men seeking a Russian wife: you will be able to receive advice on any subject, first hand, from men who have been thought this process.
9. You do not need to be a millionaire to marry a Russian woman, but you also cannot be a pauper. I will give you a high and low case. Some women have their own Internet and savings account in Russia. But these are rare cases. They can pay for all documentation and you will need just pay for the plane tickets. But most Russian women do not live like this. Assuming everything goes according to plan you will need to budget for approximately $8000 USD. If you do not have this money, navigating the immigration and legal issues will be difficult.
10. The general age difference is about 10 years. However, the more charming and charismatic you are, the lass important will age be.
11. Countries that Russian women are mostly interested in: Western Europe, USA, Canada, and Australia. Many of them will also consider Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, South Africa, Mexico, Argentina, and other Christian countries.
12. Follow the scheme: first letter - correspondence - phone conversations - personal meeting - receiving a visa for her (type of visa is dependent on the country) - marriage. Show commitment to the process and an understanding if she is not sure of what to do.
13. The most important anti-scam advice: NEVER send money to someone you haven't met in person. If she needs money for emails, use email-forwarding services offered by a reliable agency.
14. Do not fall in love too fast: 3-5 letters are definitely not enough to find out if you met the right person. Especially if you have not used introduction services and never called to the woman, this is not a real relationship, control your feelings.
15. You can make contact with Russian ladies in one of 5 ways: (1) answering women's ads, (2) placing your own ad, (3) personal introductions in Russia, or (4) a phone introduction or (5) using a match-making service.
16. Top Tier agencies sometimes do in-depth profiles of women. They introduce the woman from the perspective of her past and life experiences. The benefit of this is that you will understand much more about her before you write to her and you will understand why she thinks the way she does. The disadvantage is that due to the profiling, she will become very popular and receive many hundreds of letters.
17. Answering women's ads. You have the advantage that you already know some information about the woman, and have seen her photo. When answering women's ads your chance to receive an answer is about 2 to 10; your chance to receive a positive answer to your letter is about 1 to 10 (more if you are young, handsome and athletic, less if you are not good looking or more than 15 years older than her). So to secure 1 positive answer (assuming you meet her requirements) you need to buy at least 10 addresses. The newer the address, the better your chance is to receive an answer.
18. Women's profiles with photos you will find in dating agencies and personals sites.
19. Most reliable places to look for a Russian wife are specialized Russian dating agencies based in the west: they screen their members and provide contact information of the women (postal and email addresses, phone numbers etc). These agencies are run by professional management teams.
20. When doing a background check on an agency, stay away from reading the testimonials on the website. A few of these testimonials may be true, but the vast majority of them may be fabricated. A well recognized agency will run an ethical business and work with internationally respected businesses.
21. Selecting an agency: choose an agency that is recommended by many sources, and ask about it in the e-group you joined. If the agency is bad, people will tell you. If no one knows this agency, you will be better off staying away from them. Please remember that there are many small local agencies in Russia with the same or similar names; so always include particulars (website address, owner's name etc) when ask questions about agencies. As a rule, a good agency will be able to accept payments by credit card, provide references, and have their business address and phone number and fax number listed on the website.
22. Always remember that some agencies are the products of well orchestrated scams. If you really want to be careful you will have to do more than check news groups and other contact details. A respected agency could belong to the Anti-Trafficking-Movement (ATM), and also be a member of the Association of Russian Marriage Agencies (ARMA). Respected agencies will also have dealings with other major organizations and companies. Agencies which claim to be experts in their fields should be working with international law enforcement agencies to protect consumer.
23. How the agencies work: some agencies sell addresses of the women, some require membership, others combine the two options. An average price per address is about $10. Membership options vary from site to site. When selecting a membership option, divide the membership fee on the number of women that are members of the site, and multiply the number by the months of access, and then compare the figures.
24. Most specialized Russian dating agencies will provide you with a facility to search their databases.
25. Decide what type of woman you are looking for: age, appearance, education, kids, personal traits and interests, etc. Write it down.
26. Even thought it would be great ideas to write down the list of things you are not looking for, remember very few agencies provide you with enough details upfront to use this filter. It would therefore be better to use an agency, which can provide you with detailed information on a woman.
27. When looking through the profiles, check all the points, both positive and negative. Do not give into temptation of writing to somebody who is not what you are looking for: remember, you are going to live with this person for the rest of your life, and beauty is not only skin-deep.
28. If you live in a small town, stay away from girls from capitals (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Odessa, and Minsk): women from those cities will struggle to adapt to a life in a small town.
29. Writing your first letter: it is acceptable to send the same letter to all women, but you will have much better results if the letter is custom-made to fit a particular woman's profile. You need to write 1-2 pages about yourself, your life, what you like and dislike, the place where you live, your work, your education, have you been married previously and, if not, why (tip: because you were first busy with your studies/career, and when you have established yourself, you could not find the right woman - most were already married). Do NOT tell in length about your divorce or its reasons, and do not complain about western women and what you dislike about them. Do tell her why you decided to look for a wife in Russia and why you selected her ad. If there are some important things on your checklists that are not reflected in her profile, ask her about them.
30. Try not to make sexual innuendos in your first few letters (before personal meeting). It is not appropriate for Russian women to be discussing sex in their first few letters with you. After you believe you know her well enough, you may bring up the topic.
31. To effectively translate your emotions into your letter, it is better to use a human translator.
32. If you are going to visit the lady's country soon, or if you are ready to visit her country as soon as you find the woman you are looking for, tell her about it.
33. Before closing letter, tell her that you are waiting for her response and want her to answer in any case, even if she is not interested, just to let you know. Tell her that you will accept her decision, whatever it will be, and will not bother her again if she does not find you interesting, but you need to know that she received your letter and did read it.
34. General chain letters used across multiple women may save you time but imagine the disappointment when she reads your letter which might just as well have been written for someone else. Take the time to write real letters and you will not have to buy many addresses.
35. Include at the footer your postal and email address, phone and fax numbers. Don't worry: she will not pop up at your door tomorrow, but you can receive a surprise call from your dream woman. Also you will show her what you have nothing to hide from her. Some men who write to Russian women are already married and Russian women are aware of this.
36. Type your letter: Russian women consider handwritten letters cheap; also they are much more difficult to read.
37. If you don't want pay for translation and plan to send the letter in English, write it in simple words and phrases so she can understand. Some women can read uncomplicated English with dictionary, since all Russians study English or another language at school. Most of women will pay to translate your letter, or spend hours with a dictionary to understand even a bit what you tried to say. Remember the literal translation of your letter from English to Russian will be difficult to understand.
38. It is highly advisable to translate your first letter to Russian. Even though a woman can understand your letter, she will not be able to enjoy it if her English is not perfect. When reading a well-translated letter in her own language, she can enjoy it and she will be very grateful you took the care to make the reading easier for her. You will also be able to fully express yourself and your great sense of humor. You can either make a template letter for all ladies (which is cheaper), or make one template and add separate paragraphs for each lady designed specially for her, and also have them translated (which is more expensive but much more impressive, too). If you translate it at the right place, each woman will compliment you on the quality of your letter and thank you for taking the trouble to translate it to her own language. It will show her you care.
39. If you use software translators for your first letter, it is fine as long as you follow the advice below.
40. If you use a software translator remember to keep your letters as short and simple as possible. Software translators work on script recognition and not the actual meaning of the words combined.
41. You must include your photo with the first letter: a letter without a photo has four times less chance at receiving an answer. The photo should be professionally done, in suit and tie - Russian people believe in formal photos for introductions. If you do not own a suit, rent-it or make it in long-sleeved shirt and tie. If you do not have a tie, buy or borrow one. A good photographer will be able to make you look attractive even if you are not exactly the most handsome guy on the block - although if you write a beautiful letter and not send your photo and still get a reply, this is probably a scammer or "the one".
42. If you have a great body, include also a photo in a muscle hugging T-shirt and blue jeans. NEVER send photos in shorts or without a shirt: it means disrespect.
43. Smile! If you look happy and relaxed on the photo, she will be much more attracted to you. It is must be not a cold formal smile, but a warm smile from your heart.
44. When sending your letter via email, make sure that the files with your photos are not bigger than 20-30 KB in size. Use optimization software like Adobe PhotoShop or Microsoft PhotoDraw. Send your photos as attachments, JPEG format.
45. If you sent an email and have not received a response within 1 week, send another one - copy of the first one and include a few words on the top that you are really interested in hearing from her, and want to know if she received your letter.
46. If you have not received an answer for the second time, send a letter by airmail - she could have lost her access to email (changed jobs, had other expenses and cannot afford Internet at the moment etc).
47. The best way to communicate with a woman who has no e-mail is via a mail-forwarding service. This service takes 1-7 days to deliver the letter. If you choose the registered mail service, you can rest assured that the letter will reach her and she will need to provide her passport to receive the letter. Remember the ITU reports that 21% of all foreign mail entering Russia goes missing.
48. When sending your letter by airmail includes a return envelope (so she does not make a mistake with the address) and an international coupon of post response (so she can answer you free for her - international coupons of post response are available from postal services).
49. Salaries in Russia are very low. If you do not pay for the woman to reply, there is a good chance you may never hear from her.
50. If you did everything right, you will get some responses and will have a few correspondents.
51. If you allow women to write you in Russian (and then translate their letters yourself), you will be able to see better who is more interested in you and who is more compatible with you. You can use either human or software translation to read women's letters. You can find free software translators on the Internet. However using a professional translator will ensure that the meaning of her words is understood also and not just the main points.
52. If you want to offer your woman a special treat, write a long letter once in a while and have it professionally translated to Russian: she will be looking forward to those letters. It will also show you are committed to the process and she will feel more confident about the process.
53. When you think the woman feels comfortable with you, ask for her phone number and the best time to call. Talk for 10-15 minutes (if longer it will be difficult for her to concentrate), and speak very slow and in simple phrases. Remember, it is more difficult to understand a person by phone than face to face. Talking on the phone will make your relationship more "real".
54. Do not forget to congratulate your lady with her birthday, New Year, St. Valentine and Russian Women's Day (8 March).
55. You can send her gifts through an international gift delivery service. Sending gifts by normal mail is not recommended.
56. Also too often foreign mail directed to a Russia is prematurely opened by people looking for foreign currency or other valuables. The Russian mail system is structurally inefficient and notoriously slow.
57. Consider that Moscow is the second most expensive city in the world after Tokyo. Your partner will find it very difficult to pay for any correspondence. By offering to pay for the communication, you can relieve some of the burden on her. A teacher earning 10 rubles a day must work 3 days to pay for one letter.
58. If your partner has access to Internet - Chat, instant messenger and videoconferences are great ways to get to know each other better. Explain her how to use them and she will be delighted to talk to you "in real time". The best location for this is www.freechatnow.com.
59. If you realize that some women are not what you are looking for, you should tell them about that you are going to stop the correspondence. Do NOT disappear without notice! It is very heartbreaking for a woman, and she will wonder for a long time what happened to you and if you are OK, worrying about you, isn't fair. If you started correspondence, you must end it decently. Think how you would feel if the person you like the most just stopped writing to you.
60. Although there are many, many women who seriously looking for marriage on the Internet, there are those who are young and looking for a friend. It will be a good idea to state your intentions up front. If she is just looking for a friend, it may be a good idea to find out more about Ukraine and Russia from her or just move on.
61. If you decide on one woman and want to stop corresponding with others, tell your lady about it to assure her you are serious. Most women have multiple correspondents because they are really not sure if any of man will meet them. According to statistics, only 1% of men who write to women ever make trip to Russia. Show her you are ready to visit her, and she will be yours.
62. Placing your own ad: the advantage of this way is that all women that write to you have already seen your profile and photo, and found you interesting. In this way you will receive in average 1 response to 2 letters sent (some women might decide you are not their type after learning more about you). The disadvantage is that you will also receive lots of letters from women that you do not find attractive (which is exactly the same for women when they place their ads).
63. When placing your own ad, you will need a professional photo and sound self-description.
64. How to write a good self-description: look through the profiles of women that they liked - what kind of man they are looking for? Do you possess some of the qualities they want to see in their future husband? Those are the qualities you should include in your self-description.
65. All women want to meet men that are: intelligent, educated, kind, reliable, decent, honest, good looking physically fit, interested in sport, love children and animals, even tempered, financially secure, generous and have a good sense of humor. They also favor men that well traveled.
66. All women dislike men that are: cruel, and think he is better then her because he is American, Canadian, Australian etc, and treat her as person of second nature - sort, dishonest, uneducated, mean, unreliable, have bad tempers, are unfaithful, hypocritical, obese, lazy, broke, untidy, greedy, and stingy. Many women also dislike men with facial hair and long hair. If you have long hair, put it in a pony-tale when taking photos. Later when she will get know you better and if she will feel you are the only and one for her your features will not be important.
67. There are 2 types of listings you can place: free and paid. Free listings are offered by some specialized Russian dating agencies and also by large personals. Paid listings are offered by most specialized Russian dating agencies.
68. Free listings of specialized Ukrainian and Russian dating agencies: you will need to pay for each email that you send and receive, and you will not be able to ask the lady for her address and email as this information will be deleted from the letters. So if you were to exchange only 10 letters with only one woman, and each letter costs you $6, it will be $120 for 10 letters back and forth.
69. Free listings by large personals: those are the sites where anyone is invited to place a free ad. Since answering ads often requires paid membership, and most Russian women do not have credit cards to pay the membership fee via Internet, you will not receive any letters from honest, sincere Russian women. Large personals are also often actively used by scam artists since the ads are not screened.
70. Paid listings of specialized Russian dating agencies: in this way you pay once, and have your ad running for a definite period of time, or published in gentlemen catalogs or newspapers. Answering a paid ad will be free for a woman and receiving her response and writing to her will be free for you.
71. Agencies actively promote their gentlemen's catalogs, as for them they are the means of attracting new female clients. If you are thinking about placing your own ad, it may be sensible to use also the ad placement in newspaper offered by most agencies. The benefit is that women who do not have access to Internet can still read your ad in the newspaper.
72. Remember that when you place an ad with your direct email address (online or offline) anybody can get this address and write to you. Some local Russian agencies sell addresses of eligible men to their female members. So it is wise to register a separate email account for your self-advertising campaign, and then close it down when you are done. After exchanging a few letters you can redirect selected candidates to your main email account.
73. You must answer every woman who took the trouble to answer your ad - remember how frustrating and unpleasant it is to send a letter and receive no answer, wondering if women ever get your letter?
74. Create a signature that you will use for unsuccessful applicants, so you will save time. Some like: "Thank you for your nice letter but I have a clear image of my future partner and unfortunately it does not sound like you; you are an interesting woman and definitely will find your true destiny, I wish you good luck in your search, sincerely," will do just fine.
75. Generic letters may save you time. But they may force sincere women to stop writing to you because she believes you are not sincere enough.
76. Attach a photo (JPEG format, under 30 KB) - a different one than is on your profile. Often women send letters to a few men, and then struggle to sort out who is who. Because of the same reason, it is a good idea to repeat some information from your profile (rephrased).
77. After you have corresponded for some time, and asked her all the questions that are important to you, and received satisfactory answers, you should decide on the personal meeting. How long should you correspond before you meet her? You need to exchange at least 10-20 letters before you consider a personal meeting, which usually happens in 2-3 months (if you communicate via email) or 6-12 months (if you correspond by mail). If you communicate for too long, you might create an image in your mind, which will not correspond with reality. If you communicate too short, you can meet the wrong person. Make sure your correspondence is good (i.e. she does understand you and you do understand her) and all the important questions have been discussed.
78. Personal meeting: there are 3 options to meet each other: (1) you visit her, (2) she visits you, or (3) you meet in a third country or in the capital of her country. If you are from the US, option (2) will be almost impossible to do.
79. If you visit her (1), you will be able to meet her family and friends and see the environment she grew up in. It will also make her feel secure, and ensure her you are serious. This is option is the best if you are really serious about your relationship.
80. When you visiting her country, you can also meet more than 1 lady during your visit. International correspondence makes it difficult to communicate with only one woman at once. However when visiting a woman it is better not to tell her you will visit other women. We have seen many women lose interest if they feel a man is not interested in them alone.
81. You will need a visa to visit Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. If you stay in a hotel, they will provide you with an invitation. If you stay at the woman's home, she must send you a personal invitation. If you travel through Russia, Ukraine or Belarus transit, you will need a transit visa. Both tourist and transit visas should be obtained at the Russian (Ukrainian, Belarusian) Consulate in your home country and are not issued on arrival.
82. If you invite her to visit you (2), she can see the place where she is going to live. It is also more convenient for you but it can create a problem for her: it is not easy to receive a visa to most Western European countries (where a woman from Russia cannot receive a visa), and it is also expensive so she probably will not be able to pay herself. If you live in the USA, Canada or Australia, it is almost absolutely impossible she will be able to visit you first - she won't get a visitor's visa; almost never agency or friends in the Embassy can help.
83. Still, if you live in Europe, inviting a woman to visit you is an option. Receiving a visa can be easy if you follow the rules and do everything right.
84. If you meet in a third country (or in Moscow, St Petersburg, Kiev etc) (3), you both are unattached and can enjoy getting to know each other while sightseeing together. Most women will travel inside their country to meet you (so do not reject a woman only because she lives too far - an air ticket to the capital of her country will cost under $150-300; and a train ticket within 500 miles - under $30-80).
85. You are expected to pay all expenses when you are together. If you stay at a woman's apartment, give her some "household" money in advance when you arrive ($10-20 per day). If a woman had spent some money for visa or tickets to visit you or meet you in a capital of her country, reimburse her first thing when you meet. A few hundred dollars is not much for you but it is a few months salary for her.
86. When visiting a woman at her home, always bring presents for her and her family: perfume or something of gold for ladies, spirits, wine, and champagne for men, soft or electronic toys for kids. According to Russian traditions, a guest is expected to bring presents, and it is rude not to bring anything. Those presents should be brought from abroad (Duty Free shops will do just fine).
87. Ask your lady to introduce you to her family and friends. If she does not want you to meet her family, it is a sign she is not really interested in you.
88. When visiting people while in Ukraine or Russia (ladies' family, friends etc) you are expected to bring a presents. The best present will be flowers for the hostess and a bottle of good wine. If there are kids, buy them sweets. These presents can be purchased in the nearest street shop (kiosk). If you don't bring presents, they will decide you are rude and stingy.
89. At the festive table you are expected to try every dish (or most dishes). All the dished were prepared for you and you could offend the host if you at least do not try something. Also drink when a toast is proposed. If you do not want to drink alcohol, say you have a medical condition that does not allow drinking (but explain it is not a serious condition). Do not say you do not like drinking; they want you to be part of the family and this means having just a little drink.
90. Do not drink alcohol or beer if your lady does not drink at all. Never get drunk.
91. Do not comment that something is expensive: Russian meaning of the word "expensive" is rather absolute (I do not have money to buy it) than relative (this item is overpriced). If you do not want to buy something, just say so "No, we are not buying it" but say this soft, explain that it is overpriced, do not say you are not buying it because it is expensive.
92. Counting money during the courtship is considered very bad manners in Ukraine and Russia. It does not mean you should buy her everything she asks for: a decent woman will not ask to buy her expensive things. A normal woman will never ask you to buy anything for her. If she does not have a dress or clothing, she will let you know about the problem in some other way. If you really care about her, you will then find a way to deal with this problem.
93. But a woman will expect you to buy her drinks and meals when you are together. In Ukraine and Russia men always pay for women even if they just friends, this is just tradition. Do not let your partner go hungry!
94. You must discuss the future of your relationship before you leave. If you do not discuss it, she will feel insecure and offended. If your Ukrainian / Russian partner don't know English and you don't know Russian it is a good idea to have 2 letters written in advance, "Yes you are my only one" letter and "I think you are very cute, charming and intelligent lady, but I think we not the best for each other. I am sure you will find your happiness" letter, translated to Russian. In this way there are no misunderstandings. If you didn?t make the decision before last day - give her the corresponding letter a few hours before you part, so she has some time to come to terms with your decision while still in your company. Be kind with her and try not to break her heart.
95. If you decide go to romantic tours: preparing for the tour is not complicated: take your best clothes (a suit and a tie is a must), and buy some presents for the women you will date (perfumes are the safest bet). Everything else - air tickets, hotels, excursions, transfers etc - will be organized by the tour company.
96. If you think you've met the right woman, and want to marry her, the right way depends on the country. Most countries have special visas: fiance' or spouse visas. Those visas are specially designed to allow foreign nationals to marry a citizen.
97. For USA it will be fiance' (K-1) visa that you should apply for: it is special non-immigrant visas given to people that intend to marry. To receive a fiance' visa you must prove that you have met in person before (4-10 "romantic" photos together, air tickets, hotel bills, tickets to concerts and other activities you attended together, etc), and that you have an established relationship (include copies of emails, envelopes/letters, postcards, phone bills, etc). You both should be legally free to marry (not married at the moment), and your fiance' should not have a criminal record or dangerous disease (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, syphilis etc). You need to have a yearly income of more than 125% of the current poverty level (more than $13,500). Only USA citizens can apply for a fiance' visa; permanent residents are not eligible for this visa and should marry outside the country.
98. You must be married within 3 months from the arrival of your fiance' on the fiance' visa, or she will have to go back. The fiance' visa cannot be extended; in case you did not marry she will have to re-apply for another visa to enter the USA for the second time. A warning here is that it will be very difficult for the women to get a visa again if she is sent back to Russia.
99. Unmarried children of fiance' visa holders under 21 years old receive visas K-2 (no separate application is required, visas are issued automatically).
100. Since 2001 spouses of American citizens (if you married in her country) are eligible for a non-immigrant visa K-3 (their children for visas K-4), which take a longer time to process than immigrant spouse visas.
101. For Australia it will be prospective marriage temporary visa (subclass 300). You will need to demonstrate that you and your fiance' met in person and that your relationship is genuine and you intend to marry and live together as spouses. You will need to provide the range of documentation to prove that your relationship is established and genuine (letters, air tickets, tickets to concert and other activities you attended together, phone bills, photos together and photos of the engagement, etc - the more documents you present, the better). You will also need to provide assurance of financial support for your wife to be, so the migrant will not rely on any Government form of support. You must be engaged to be married and wish to marry in Australia within 9 months from the date of issuance of the visa. Both Australian citizens and permanent residents can apply for a prospective marriage temporary visa.
102. Children of prospective marriage temporary visa applicants under 18 years old should be included in the application and will receive visas to Australia together with their mothers.
103. If you are legally married to an Australian citizen (marriage in your country or any other foreign country), you are eligible for a spouse migrant visa. Dependent children of spouse migrant visas applicants should be included in the application and will also receive visas, if the mother's application is approved.
104. For South Africans you could send a personal letter of invitation to your lady to receive a visa. If you are honest and provide the embassy with the correct details, then they could approve your application within a few days. It is best to apply for a 3 month visa. When your lady comes down you can spend some time to get to know each other better. You can then file for temporary residence and later for permanent residence. All that is required is proof of income from the sponsor and proof of cohabitation.
105.Generally, the better your financial situation, the easier you will get the visa for your fiance'. It will also help if she is a high class professional and holds a degree.
106. You can also decide to marry in Russia, and then apply for a spouse visa for your wife. In the case of Russian marriage, you will need to produce a legal document that you are free to marry, certified document of your legal address, birth certificate, divorce certificate (or death certificate) if you were married before, and your passport. All documents, except for the passport, should be legalized, notarized, and have a copy translated to Russian by a certified translator.
107. Most women moving to foreign countries are worried about being completely dependent on their husbands. It is humiliating for a woman to ask money for purchases every time, when she is used to working and having her own income. First months after her arrival she definitely will not be able to work because of the problems with language. The best idea is to open a bank account in her name where she can have a debit card, and every month put some money on this account ($200-300 a month will be sufficient; if your lady had higher income in Russia, you should compensate her former income). Do not ask how she spends the money and do not check her statements. Tell her about this arrangement before she arrives.
108. Several Tier One agencies offer elaborate yet useful Marriage Support services. For example one innovative feature offered is the "Orientation Package". If your fiance' will be coming to 75 Jefferson Lane, Portland Oregon, then a package is put together detailing what the area is like, the people, location of shops, location of other facilities, distance to amenities, things to consider and also considers pictures. The package also consists of Russian lessons for the man and English lessons for the women.
109. When your fiance' received her visa, buy her return ticket, so she is not worried sick that she will be stuck with you if you are not compatible. Everything that makes a woman feel secure is beneficial for your relationship. You will be able to receive a partial refund for the non-used part of the ticket, if it was purchased in your country (you pay at home, and she will be able to pick up the ticket in the office of the air company at her country).
110. Adaptation: when she arrives, don't be surprised if she is not very affectionate and does not seem very happy. Please understand she had to leave her homeland, her family and friends behind, and this makes her feel sad. She is still unsure if everything will work out for you and her. The process of receiving the visa is also very stressful and frustrating, and she may simply be tired. Let her rest and relax, and in a couple of weeks she will be a different person. Be kind and patient with her.
111. Things that Russians are not used to: asking "How are you?" when meet (they only say "Hello" in Russia, then go ahead); saying "Thank you" for any help or service, especially at shops; smiling without a reason; buying groceries only once a week; wearing street shoes at home; the wedding protocol; credit cards and checks; paid medical aid; insurance policies; private pension funds. Explain to her everything in detail - she will hesitate to ask. She will be thankful that you care enough to make her understand everything.
112. Encourage her to spend as much time as possible with other people. Ask your family to ask her for help in choosing gifts for Christmas, arranging a birthday party, babysitting, shopping etc. Ask your church if they need help with some projects. People should not offer to help her - she will decline; they must ask her to help them. The more time she spends with people, the faster she will adapt.
113. Remind your fiance' to bring her Russian English dictionary from Russia and other books that can help her find necessary words if she will need to say something or understand an issue.
114. Sign her up for ESL courses - this way she will meet other people whose English (another language) is not perfect, and will not feel too bad about her own poor English. As soon as her English improves (usually within 6-8 months), she will become much more outgoing and sociable.
115. Do not press her to attend a Russian church (only if she wants to) or make friends with other Russian people. Russian people that immigrate to the USA (or another country) on their own do not like Russian women that marry Americans because they think the women get it "too easy" while they had to struggle. The best Russian friends for her will be other Russian women married to men from your country. They will be able to advise her on many things that they already have gone through.
116. The process does not look easy, but by following our advice above and just following your heart and common sense, it will become a reality.

Welcome 2 My Nightmare
4.5 2 5 1
Alice Cooper may not have had a hit single in two decades but he's hardly kept quiet during the two decades that separate 1991's Hey Stoopid and 2011's Welcome 2 My Nightmare. In addition to his quite good syndicated radio show he's regularly recorded new records, some getting positive notice, some sinking into obscurity, but none have had quite the high profile of Welcome 2 My Nightmare, an explicit sequel to 1975's Welcome to My Nightmare that re-teams Alice with producer Bob Ezrin along with such Alice Cooper band veterans as Dick Wagner, Steve Hunter, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith. Given these blasts from the past, it would seem that Welcome 2 My Nightmare would be a throwback to the '70s, but one of the great unspoken things about Alice Cooper is that he always makes records that sound like their time and this is no exception, with Ezrin pumping Alice through enough Auto-Tune to compete with Kesha, who happens to be brought in for a duet on the metallic bubblegum "What Baby Wants." Kesha isn't the only cameo here: country legend Vince Gill and Drive-By Trucker Patterson Hood contribute some guitar, as does former Marilyn Manson sideman John 5, and the very names of these guests go a long way in explaining the giddy kaleidoscope of sounds here. Electro-prog butts shoulders with tightly wound metal, runaway rockabilly, vaudevillian shuffles, disco-rock, garage pop, and power ballads, and old showman that he is, Alice Cooper sells them with a convincing grin. Alice may be the star but much of the success of Welcome 2 My Nightmare is due to the man behind the curtain, as Ezrin gives this album flair and focus that not only make it an unexpectedly successful sequel but the best Alice Cooper record in decades.

Back to School Nails
So with the new school term starting on Monday I've done a Back to School mani using some cute 3D Nail charms from Charlies Nail Art. You get 2 3D charms for 29p, and I have the Apples that I used for my mani. I went with a chalkboard nail art and used one Apple as an accent.
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Go take a look as you'll be amazed at the great value and amount of items they stock.
Stay safe and much love....
