"Disciples encouraging other disciples"
"Life-Changing Words"
(Hebrews 3:12-19)
Copyright 2005 G. Charles Sackett
Names have an interesting impact on us. You can hardly hear certain place names without eliciting some kind of a response, either out of your own experience or out of your memory of things that you've heard and talked about. If you're a Civil War fan you can hardly hear the name Vicksburg or Gettysburg without having certain kinds of images that come to mind. You can think of other place names that are like that. Omaha Beach, Hiroshima, China Beach, Saigon, Baghdad. They all carry some kind of a story about a nation. They carry something about the history of a people, us, in particular.
The Old Testament is full of those kinds of names, as well. You can hardly read Scripture without running across those rather interesting names. Here are two of them; Massah and Meribah. It may not be particularly pertinent to us. It might not elicit immediate response to us but it has richness in it from the history of Israel.
This was the place where Israel first began to genuinely grumble and complain about what God was doing in their lives. In the grand scheme of things God is in the process of trying to move his people out of bondage into freedom. That's been his plan from the very beginning; was to redeem humanity, to bring them back into a relationship with himself. He has worked through Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and in every situation they find themselves turning themselves against God and ultimately end up in slavery in Egypt.
God calls on Moses to bring them out and they have those miraculous stories of crossing the Red Sea and beginning this process of moving from Egypt to Israel or what we call Israel today, to the "Promise Land" and somewhere along the way they became just a little discouraged at the way things were turning out. The story is actually in the book of Numbers. If you want to have a reference point for it, it's Numbers 20. We're not going to read the whole thing, but I just want to make a quick survey of this particular text before we come to our primary text over in the book of Hebrews.
Numbers 20:2 Now there was no water for the community, and the people gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron. They quarreled with Moses and said, "If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the Lord! Why did you bring the Lord's community into this desert, that we and our livestock should die here? Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!"
Moan and grumble and complain. Numbers 20:12 but the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."
This is the second time they've grumbled about water. The first time Moses simply spoke to the rock and the water came gushing forth. They apparently had forgotten that lesson. Moses, in his aggravation, this time, takes his staff and strikes the rock in disobedience to God. He still gets the water but in this history lesson that we're going to see in Hebrews 3, Massah and Meribah become two places of grumbling and complaining, which the Lord looks back on with great disdain. The issue it strikes to me is when things don't turn out as we expect, we are, in fact, tempted to grumble and complain. Israel had been given freedom from slavery. They no longer had to make bricks for a wicked pharaoh. They actually were moving from slavery to freedom and yet it wasn't turning out quite the way they anticipated. That there were no grape vines and pomegranates. It was not an oasis. It was a desert and so they began to wonder if God knew what he was doing and began to grumble and complain.
It's a pretty common temptation isn't it? Particularly for those of you who have begun a journey toward Christ or who have already made a decision to follow Christ and you have this kind of expectation that if you are really as serious about your Christian life, if you really turn yourself in the direction of the Lord, if you try to do the things that are right, then your life ought to be full of grapevines and pomegranates. It should not be full of deserts. It ought to be full of oases. And sometimes, quite honestly, it doesn't turn out that way. In fact, for many people, after they become Christians, life actually feels harder, more difficult. And the temptation is to grumble and complain because we didn't get what we expected.
Now normally if you were up here with me you would see that I have this little piece of paper here to remind me of some things that I want to say and over here in the right hand column I would normally write the names of people down who represent what I'm talking about so that I can remember to say something about them. And on the right side of the paper today there's this set of question marks. It's not that I don't know people who have fallen into that category of getting discouraged because their Christian experience wasn't everything that they thought it was supposed to be. It's that. . . .quite honestly I can't remember their names. I don't think it's just because I have a bad memory, though I do. I think it's because the names that I remember are the people for whom life didn't turn out the way they expected it, but they stuck it out anyway. Now those I have plenty of. Do you want to talk about Dawn or Carl or I could name a whole list of people who gave their lives to Christ whose lives looked really hard and harsh and yet, they never gave up. They never turned back. They never turned around. They kept moving in the right. . . .they didn't stop in Massah and Meribah to complain.
Those people have left an impression on my life that I will never forget. The other people, as sad as it may seem to you, have somehow disappeared from my memory bank.
See, the danger that is raised in the text in Hebrews 3, is the danger of unbelief, the danger of disobedience, the danger of thinking that God is supposed to do things your way and when he doesn't, believing that you are more right than he is.
Look at Hebrews 3 with me. Hebrews 3 We've been spending our time talking about words and the word that we're talking about today is the word provocative. That's because the old King James uses the word "provoke" in this text. I've always been intrigued by that idea of words that "provoke" us. Usually that sounds negative, but it isn't always.
Hebrews 3:7 . . . .as the Holy Spirit says:
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.
That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.'
So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.'"
See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one (there's the word provoke, by the way),( But provoke one another). But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."
Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
There are some words that surfaced for me in that text, at least that are "provoked" by me in this text. One of them is "persistence". Just this very nature of staying with things. We have Mother's Day because of persistence.
Back in 1907 Ana Jarvis decided that mothers ought to be honored and she went on a personal crusade to make sure there was such a thing as Mother's Day and in 1914 Woodrow Wilson finally signed a declaration that this particular day every year in our country, we would stop and honor our mothers. It only took her seven years to get that job done. Not bad for working with the American government.
Well I'm going to take a pause here for just a second and appreciate some things about mothers since Woodrow Wilson said we had to. These are elementary school children's answers to the question, Why did God make moms?
Why did God make Mothers?
* She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
* Mostly to clean the house.
How did God make Mothers?
* God made mom just like he made me. He just used bigger parts.
Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
* We're related!
Or this one. . . . .
* God knew she likes me a lot more than other peoples' moms like me.
What kind of a little girl was your mom?
* I don't know, I wasn't there! But my guess is, she was pretty bossy.
Another child said this,
* They say she used to be nice.
What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
* His last name
and this,
Does he make at least $800 a year?
Did he say no to drugs and yes to chores?
Why did your mom marry your dad?
* My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world and my mom eats a lot.
Or this answer. . . .
* She got too old to do anything else with him.
Who's the boss at your house?
* Mom doesn't want to be boss but she has to because dad's such a "goof ball".
What's the difference between mom's and dad's?
* Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
Or this one. . . .
* Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
What would it take to make your mom perfect?
* Oh, on the inside she's already perfect. Outside I think some kind of plastic surgery.
Or this answer. . .
* diet, you know her hair. . . . .I'd dye it, maybe blue.
If you could change one thing about your mom what would it be?
* She has this weird thing about keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that
or . . . .

Recent grad school acceptances include Arizona State University Tempe, Parsons, The New School for Design, University of California Los Angeles and University of Maryland. Art alumni have gone on to pursue careers in art education, public art, graphic design, advertising sales, Americorps, youth ministry and art galleries.
We offer both a major and a minor in Art.
Our grads put their craft to work.
"Students can take ideas from anywhere. They have a broad base to feed their art in a liberal arts college like Roanoke."

The Moment She Knew What She Wanted to Do
Sydney Brown came to Roanoke College intending to major in Political Science, but now plans to leave with a major in Art and a minor in Art History. After taking a ceramics class her freshman year, Brown realized "there was no denying the way I felt about art and how at home I felt in the studio. This was the class where I knew art was my passion." Brown is exploring the possibility of pursuing a master's degree after she graduates, and is confident that she has the "skillset and determination to succeed in the arts world."

Passion for art, photography drives alumna to magazine career
Margaret Houston '10 was a photo intern for one year at Garden & Gun Magazine when the publication hired her as an assistant photo editor. Now, she is the associate photo editor at the Charleston, South Carolina-based Southern lifestyle magazine. Houston works with her team daily to decide how stories will be depicted with photos.She majored in art at Roanoke, where working in ceramics, silk screening, and jewelry-making opened her eyes to the art world.
"You meet an eclectic group of people all with different visions and get a lot of creative control when you're the one behind the camera," she said.
Jill Hoffmeister | Jewelry Designer Hollywood stylemakers take a shine to alumna's creations.
Academy Award nominee Salma Hayek wore diamond stud earrings by Jill Hoffmeister Jewelry to a Vanity Fair party. Actress Bryce Dallas Howard posed in a photo shoot wearing a Jill Hoffmeister diamond baguette necklace.
Undeniably, Jill Hoffmeister '05 has established a fan base among Hollywood stylists and celebrities.
When Hoffmeister set out for her first year at Roanoke College, she didn't plan to one day become a jeweler to the stars. But by her junior year at Roanoke, Hoffmeister decided to get serious about her jewelry making. She found a study abroad program in Florence, Italy that offered coursework in jewelry fabrication.
"It was there where I fell in love with it," she says.
Philip Hatter, former studio arts major at Roanoke College, designs and builds custom puppets for his clients from his basement workshop in Roanoke. He founded Thistledown Puppets in 2006. Its Web site has led to jobs for the American toy company Hasbro, a film group in Malaysia producing children's DVDs and a British entertainment company as well as puppeteers and puppet lovers in the United States, Canada and Holland. "I've found that puppets really combine everything I love about art," he said.

Bioengineers from the University of California, Berkeley, have utilized adult stem cells to create a network of pulsating heart cells encased in a silicon chip, effectively modeling cardiac tissue. To capture the dynamic structure and function of the heart, the scientists loaded the stem cells into a layered, 3-D scaffold to mimic the geometry of the organ and included channels on either side of the chip to act as blood vessels, thus replicating the organ's natural exposure to nutrients and therapies.

Apprenticeship: a talent development model designed to grow a workforce customized to your needs
What can an apprentice do for your company?
California's highly-skilled workforce is aging and replacing those employees can be challenging. Apprenticeships offer you the opportunity to take individuals with raw talent and train them to meet your needs. You save money on recruitment and when apprentices complete their program have a commitment to their profession and loyalty to their educator/employer. That ensures your company a large, diverse, flexible workforce of skilled professionals.
- Eliminates need for expensive recruitment programs; people are already trained.
- Creates a diversified and flexible workforce and a larger pool of employees with specific skills
- Reduces cost of high labor turnover; employees show high morale and loyalty when in a training program that offers upward mobility through career development
- Increases productivity; employees in a structured training program are motivated to achieve
- Uses available local education provider facilities for required related classroom instruction
To begin:
- Contact the Division of Apprenticeship Standards at www.dir.ca.gov/das/ibuiltit/contact.html and let them guide you in setting up a program, including:
- Understanding how apprenticeship works
- Learning the terms required to meet state standards for education and employment
- Interview other businesses already using apprentices to hear their experiences
- Take advantage of an opportunity in California to gain skilled employees.

Recent Updates
2011 Addition
In the summer of 2011 we added on two 41,000 CWT bins to our storage.
2009 Upgrade
The summer of 2009 brought about some major changes in the washplant at NoKota. We added a Mayo Potato Polisher and an Odenberg Grading System to the washline. The potatoes are now washed and sent through the Polisher to give them a sheen.
The potatoes then go to the Odenberg Grading System where they are automatically graded by cameras. Each camera unit is comprised of optical sensing devices and banks of L.E.D.'s which emit light at the product to be sorted. This optical device looks at the potatoes and determines whether they are accepted or rejected. All accepted potatoes are sent on to be manually graded and sized.
The washline was also redesigned to allow us to accumulate #2B's and Creamers to better meet our customers needs.

Most of us recognize that we must tip our waitress, hair cabinet, and also housemaids (if you have one … that is). Who else should we tip? You would certainly never ever take into consideration tipping your Medical Professional or an Attorney? Do you? This is also the case with concerning workers at your home such as house Painters Melbourne based? Do you really painters associated with painting your Melbourne residence?
What Does It Cost? What Do Painters Make?
In accordance with Payscale the average per hour price for a painter is $15.00. Then that painter will certainly makes $120 prior to tax obligations, if a task takes an 8 hours day. Jobs could vary in size from a day to a week depending upon the dimension of your house. In addition to spending for the real painter, the products, certificate, insurance coverage, as well as experience of the individuals you employ all enter into the list of factors to consider of the rate you will certainly be billed.
After seeing a task well done, and also paying your huge costs, it could be outrageous to you to after that provide the painter an idea. And also they will certainly not be anticipating it. There are some really excellent factors to tip house painters all over Melbourne.
Why You Need to tip the Residence Painters?
A painter would certainly pick you over others as the top priority if you tip him really well. When we head out to paying painters we surely do not go for tipping. Several of us might have also aimed to thrill a person by just how much we tip. When it comes time to tip a person that does a huge task we are reluctant. Just what if our painter did a great work? They repainted precisely just what we inquired also, made certain the backyard remained in great problem, the home windows really did not obtain any kind of dust or paint on them, and also every little thing looked outstanding when they left. When individuals do their work well they must obtain some type of added payment for that.
Exactly what is essential is that you see to it those that you employ really feel valued to make sure that not just are they going to collaborate with you once more, yet they want to send out high quality individuals to do various other painting jobs for you. The very best residence painter at Melbourne understands their job and getting tips over their actual payment could act as a cherry on the cake.

Kacy and Dave are one of those couples that are so different from one another but fit together in the most perfect way. From Dave's silliness to Kacy's infectious laughter, these two light up whatever space they are in. Their intimate outdoor wedding ceremony at the Simpson House in Kansas City was stunning and their reception was spontaneous and fun. Enjoy!c
From our bride, Kacy:
Favorite Moment of the Day: Dave's: The whole day! Kacy's: All of it!!! The day couldn't have turned out more perfectly! My favorite moment would have to be seeing Dave standing at the end of the aisle waiting for me, and knowing I was about to marry the most perfect man for me. There was not one thing I would have changed about our wedding! I am so thankful that we were able to celebrate the day with our closest family and friends, and that our wedding day was fun and laid back. Everyone did an awesome job at making our day even more special than I could have imagined. As we begin life's next adventure, we are getting to do it together and it began with an unforgettable day!
Inspiration for the wedding: We both wanted a small out door wedding, simple, and most importantly a good time!
Advice to brides planning in the future: Hire people who are good at their jobs and then step back and let them work their magic! This will allow you to enjoy your self and the day while staying stress free!

Diversnight is an international night dive, and is all about diving and the social aspect of diving. Groups of divers register their site on diversnight.com and arrange a night dive that includes cake. Cake is one of the key ingredients in Diversnight, as this is what Diversnight once was founded on. For more information on that, please see History..
Diversnight takes place the first Saturday of November every year. Now, it used to be the first Thursday of December but in 2010 the Nordic countries experienced a really rough winter and no open water could be found to dive in so the diversnight.com organizers decided to move it one month earlier. In 2015 we decided to move it to the weekend.
The actual dive takes place at the time that matches the year, every year. For 2012, the dive took place at 20:12 (8:12PM) local time. For 2013, it took place at 20:13 (8:13PM) local time, and for 2017 the dive will take place at 20:17 (8:17PM). Get the idea?
In order to partake in this fantastic, international event, either contact your local dive club and ask them to arrange an event or gather your diving friends and register your site! Check the registered sites on diversnight.com to see if your local dive club has already registered a dive site. Only one person (the organizer of the local event) per dive site needs to register. Each dive club, or group, will have to keep their own roster of participants.
If you are not connected to any local dive site, check the registered sites and make contact with one close to you if you want to join their event.
Once you have registered your account and your dive site, the "register your numbers" link will be available to you after 20:16 (8:16PM) local time. Please make sure you register your numbers as soon as possible after the dive/event.
2005: 351 divers in Norway.
2006: 889 divers in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
2007: 1859 divers in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Svalbard.
2008: 2183 divers in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Egypt, Indonesia, France, Spain, Faroe Islands and Belgium.
2009: 2749 divers, 218 dive sites and 20 countries
2010: 1700 divers, 175 dive sites and 22 countries

It's an age old adage in real estate that the three most important factors for success are "location, location, location". Well, it seems that may be the most important factor for mobile searches also. A new study released by AT&T Interactive and Nielsen conducted in March 2011 indicates that location is a key part of the mobile experience, that an incredible 43% of local mobile searchers actually walk through the door of the establishment, and upwards of 22% made a purchase. That is a significant number to consider.

The Godfather's Guide To Doing Business Online
Arguably, the Godfather movies are the greatest films ever made, begetting some great "wise guy" proverbs. And since I'm one of those guys who could communicate entirely in movie quotes and being a "web-wise guy" to boot, I wondered how Don Corleone might run the online "family business." Here's some memorable Godfather wisdom – and nobody even has to get whacked!
"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." Studies show that it takes less than a second for visitors to pass judgment on you based on your website. Impress them immediately before the Back button becomes public enemy number one.
"It's business, not personal." If that's your website's vibe, remember: People make decisions intellectually, but they buy emotionally. It's always personal; touch something sensitive.
If Dinosaurs Lived Today
Can you imagine living in a world filled with great and terrible beasts like the dinosaurs? What a world it must have been! I'm guessing that movies like Jurassic Park don't even come close to depicting these awe-inspiring reptiles! If you've ever stood before the intimidating skeleton of a T-Rex in a museum, or a colossal Brachiosaurus, you might have gazed up at it wondering what that amazing animal must have been like in real life. You might have also wondered, Just how did such mighty creatures become extinct? You might be closer to the real answer than you think.
Eat Right & Keep Your Site From 'Biggest Loser' Status
I try to live my life on the healthier side. It's funny; I'm convinced that we spend millions of dollars on fitness gimmicks only to discover time after time that the Holy Grail of healthy living is in fact… diet and exercise! Bummer. But doesn't everything work that way? Aren't we endlessly in search of that one secret ingredient promising us the fat-free, sugar-free, full-flavored business we've always wanted – one that makes customers descend on us like wave upon wave of demented dieters on a taco wagon? But alas, just when we were finally resigned to the painful truth that success is measured by how much good ol' fashion work we were willing to put into it, along came the Internet, which changed everything!
Content Marketing: Deploying Your Social Media Campaign
Industry leaders know that content marketing and social media campaigns are crucial to success on the Internet. However, given that content marketing is a qualitative, rather than quantitative concept, how can you measure the success of something that, at first glance, can't be measured?
That's where this article comes in. Let's take a closer look at the intricacies of deploying your content marketing and social media campaign, including how you can measure its contribution to your company's bottom line.
Launch Your Content Marketing and Social Media Campaign
One of the most crucial aspects of launching your content marketing and social media campaign is to ensure that you don't lose interest in the progress you're making, particularly in the earlier months when you might not be seeing the results you've been expecting. Remember, content and social media marketing is a qualitative concept, not a quantitative one – you won't be able to immediately measure ROI within the first months of use. Therefore, be sure to continue with your content marketing efforts even when you feel as though your readers aren't paying attention to what you have to say. Believe us, they are!
Monitor Your Chatter
While you should have a dedicated team to monitor your content and social media marketing efforts, there's no denying that you can't monitor your efforts 24/7. That's why it's important to invest in resources that allow you to automate some of the process, including tools that monitor activity, engage with your readers and aggregate content. This will allow your social media team to keep on top of your progress without feeling overwhelmed by all there is to do.
Keep It Fresh
Ensure that your content marketing and social media campaigns remain fresh and relevant to your readers. Stale and uninteresting platforms will cost you valuable customers.
Measure Your Success
Finally, be sure to measure your success in terms that make sense to content marketing and social media. For example, rather than focusing on dollars, focus on client satisfaction and brand loyalty, and how your campaigns have contributed to these vital components of running a successful business.
Spam, Scams, and Flim-Flams
With all due respect to Monty Python's hilarious skit, as well as that most-favored canned meat that Hawaiians seem to love so much more than the rest of us, SPAM is basically any email or message you receive that you didn't ask for and don't want. As much people hate it, most SPAM is fairly innocuous, merely wanting to sell you something that may or may not make you richer, better looking, or otherwise more attractive to either or both genders. It can easily be relegated to the trash bin, assuming your SPAM filter didn't already catch it and put it there before you even looked at it. Most SPAM filters are getting pretty good at that and, while it does waste a lot of time, it doesn't usually cost you more than the time wasted to deal with it.
Content Marketing: Defining Your Company's Goals and Objectives
As a leader in your industry, you understand that content marketing offers loyal clients relevant information that pertains to your specific industry. When it comes to delivering that content, nothing disseminates more efficiently than social media platforms.
When providing your clientele base with highly valuable information, how do you ensure that your content marketing efforts match your business goals and objectives, all while forming genuine connections with your targeted audience?
The key to successful content marketing is to define your company's goals and objectives before building your social media strategy.
Not sure what we mean here? Don't worry – this article will examine why defining your company's goals and objectives is key to successful content marketing.
What are your company's needs?
Before you start using social media platforms to pass on highly relevant content, it's important to understand your company's overall objectives and missions. For example, if you're a Fortune 500 company that offers investment advice, what are your main goals? Do you want to expand your clientele base? Do you want to attract more high-value clients? Do you want to increase brand awareness?
Understanding your own needs before focusing on that of your readers will help you not only use the right marketing platforms for your business, it will also help you develop the kind of genuine content your readers will be thrilled to get their hands on.
Look at your current online presence.
Content marketing and online marketing go hand-in-hand; therefore, to deliver the kind of content your readers expect, you need to assess your own online marketing efforts. To accomplish this, you must look at this from three different angles:
• Look at your current online marketing efforts;
• Review your current social media uses;
• Research how you're using your company's website.
With this online research, you'll begin to understand what kind of information your readers are looking for – and if your company can deliver. Additionally, it will give you a better idea of where your content marketing needs to go to be considered successful.
By defining your own content marketing goals and objectives, you can provide the kind of highly engaging and relevant information that will transform readers into loyal clients.
Custom Programming + Creative Design = An Ecommerce Site That Works
At Powerserve, we combine creative design with custom programming. Because these are two sometimes opposing forces, it can be tricky explaining the extent of our abilities with these great assets. To serve as an example, we've recently launched totalforce.com, a website that sells custom made guidons for the military.
Gmail Tip: Using Mobile Devices
Did you know? You can access your Gmail account from any mobile device. Just type in m.gmail.com into your mobile device's internet browser, sign in with your account information and you'll be taken to a slimmed-down version of Gmail that's perfect for checking email on the go. (If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you'll have a slightly different interface.) If you're using a Blackberry device, go to m.google.com/a and download a free application for checking Gmail on it.
Email, File Transfers, and Spam
Email, File Transfers, and Spam
PowerServe has always maintained a policy of offering email service at no additional charge for all of our Web hosting clients. These free email services include many features like spam identification and anti-virus filtering.These basic level email services have certain restrictions to help ensure that all our clients can get important messages through our servers and across the internet as quickly as possible. The limitations for basic email accounts are:
- 2 MB per email
- 20 MB per day
Several options exist if you want or need more than these basic email services. We have options for every level of need. Powerserve's support team will be glad to help you transfer your email to any of these providers. It is perfectly acceptable to maintain your current Powerserve Web hosting and support contract but transfer your mail services to one of the providers below. We will even help you make the switch for free! This is another example of the quality of service we provide our Web hosting and design clients.
Email Providers
- Google Mail – Google provides free business email hosting with no preset user account limit. In addition, you get access to their online applications such as a shared calendar, instant messaging, and shared spreadsheets. They allow file attachments up to 20 MB. Learn more about Google Mail.
- GoDaddy Email – GoDaddy, our premier partner for domain registrations, offers a premium email service for only $29.99 per YEAR – that's only $2.50/month! You get up to 100 email addresses AND you can send files up to 30MB in size. This plan also includes an online group calendar and free GoDaddy Ringtones for your cell phone. Learn more about Godaddy Email.
File Transfers
Let's face it. The email infrastructure was simply not built for transferring large files. Large attachments slow everything down because of the internet protocol email uses.If you need to send large files to customers, the overall best option is to use a service that is designed for it, such as DropSend. It allows you to send files up to 1GB directly from your desktop and also serves as online storage space. They even have a free account that may serve your needs perfectly. Learn more about DropSend.com.
SPAM (not Spam®) has become such an incessant plague on Internet traffic that the Federal Trade Commission has been empowered to enforce the recent changes in U.S. law concerning it. Read more about the FTC and Spam. Learn more about SPAM SCAMS.

Why Spam Won't Go Away
Here's a short excerpt from an article on Forbes.com that discusses why Internet Spam won't be going away anytime soon:
This is why spam is such a hard problem to solve. For each e-mail, the spammer pays a cost and receives a benefit. But there is an additional cost paid by the e-mail recipient. Because so much spam is unwanted, that additional cost is huge–and it's a cost that the spammer never sees. If spammers could be made to bear the total cost of spam, then its level would be more along the lines of what society would find acceptable.Read More of "Why Spam Won't Go Away"
It's unfortunate that spam has become the issue that it has, but there's little to no downside for those responsible for sending spam. Even if only one person responds to an offer they mail out, it's worth it to them, because it only costs fractions of a cent (if even that) for a spammer to send messages out.

PowerChurch Plus Version 9 updates
The Fund Accounting module was redesigned in this release:
- Multiple Years of Transactions Detail - Like other areas of PowerChurch Plus, the Fund Accounting module will now hold multiple years of transactions detail. You will still be able to review this year's transaction detail next year.
- Work with Calendar Months - You no longer have to be puzzled by confusing accounting periods. Instead of referring to the month as "0901," we now refer to the calendar month as "January 2009".
- Change Account Numbers - Change an account number at any time, automatically updating wherever the account is used. No longer do you have to wait until the end of the year to reorganize your chart of accounts. You can also merge two accounts together.
- Deactivate an account - Mark an account as inactive to keep it from printing on most reports. An inactive account can not be used in new transactions.
- Manage Donor Restricted Contributions - A whole new area has been added in Fund Accounting for keeping track of donor restricted contributions. These changes are in compliance with GAAP modifications for non-profit organizations (specifically FASB 117). With the additional feature of allowing multiple equity accounts in each fund, you can track the available balance of your restricted funds at any time.
- New Bank Reconciliation Method - Reconcile your bank account quicker and easier. The two step process of maintaining the check register, then reconciling the bank account has been combined into one easy step.
- Repeating Journal Transactions - Save Fund Accounting transactions as repeating entries for easy retrieval. Great for common monthly entries such as bank service charges.
- Transfer Accounts - A new account category has been added to keep transfers between funds from affecting income and expense balances.
- Transaction Description, Line Description, and Unlimited Notes Fields - A new 25 character note field has been added to better describe the transaction. You can also enter a separate description on each line of transaction detail. An unlimited note field is available to record more detailed information about the transaction.
- New Reports - 15 new reports added to the fund accounting module alone, including Balance Sheet by Fund, Income and Expenses by Fund, Statement of Activities, and more.
- Include Unposted Transactions - The Balance Sheet, Income & Expense Statement, and Account Activity reports now allow you to include unposted transactions. This helps to verify that your transactions are correct prior to posting and finalizing them.
- New Accounting Setup Assistant - If you have not yet set up accounting, PowerChurch Plus now has an assistant that walks you through the process of creating your chart of accounts and establishing beginning balances.
- You can now have multiple years of budget history.
- Enter budgets for group accounts and "budget by the group" which allows all of the detail accounts to share the same group budget amount.
- PowerChurch Plus now allows you to enter a budget for any type of account (Asset, Liability, Equity, Income, Expense, Transfer).
- We have added subtotals on the Budget Report.
Increased Security
- New options for controlling who can post information and close months in Fund Accounting.
- The system now tracks the user that entered, modified, and posted individual transactions and when it was done.

Accounts Payable

- There is a now a description field for each transaction line on invoices and manual checks.
- A new unlimited note field has been added for recording detailed information about an invoice.
- You are now able to delete individual vendors without deleting history for all vendors.
- The new Void Checks process makes voiding checks a breeze, even easier than in Accounts Payable.
- You are now able to delete individual employees without removing history for all employees
E-mail Enhancements
- Bulk e-mails now allow file attachments.

- You can also exclude a person from bulk e-mailings.
- Send e-mail through servers that require authentication.
E-mail Contribution StatementsSave time and postage by sending Contribution Statements as an e-mail attachment directly from PowerChurch Plus. There is a setting for each contributor to opt-out of receiving Contribution Statements by e-mail.
Sort Lookup Lists by Any ColumnAll Locate screens and Lookup lists can be sorted by any column. Use this feature to find a person by their first name or locate a vendor by their name rather than vendor ID. Simply click on the column header to resort the list. This is especially useful in the Reconcile Bank Accounts screen, to look for a transaction by date or amount, rather than by reference order only.
Report Enhancements
- E-mail reports - Send a report to one person, or a group, right from PowerChurch Plus. For example, e-mail the Balance Sheet report to finance committee members so they will be ready for the next meeting.
- Export reports in PDF and HTML formats
- Improved Word and Excel export formats so they more closely resemble the original report
Add Family AssistantThe Add Family Assistant walks a user through the process of adding a new family and its members. This is a great tool for new staff members learning PowerChurch Plus, making sure that all of the information makes it to the right places. It can also assign envelope numbers automatically to each member of the family.
New Activity Department, Type, and Role FieldsThree new customizable code fields have been added to the Activities & Skills module:
- Roles - Roles are assigned to indicate a person's functions in an activity. Roles of "Teacher" and "Student" are perfect examples.
- Department and Type - These new code fields can be used to further categorize your activities. This offers greater flexibility by providing additional search criteria when generating Activities & Skills reports. For example, you could create a list of all teachers of Sunday School classes in the Children's department.
We listened to you!The following improvements were made based on requests to the wishlist.
- Screen Preview for Mailing Labels - This keeps you from having to waste labels if you aren't ready to print, but would like to see who will be included in your selection.

- Pictorial Directories - Pictorial Directories can now be saved to a file or e-mailed like any other built-in report.
- Higher Resolution Pictures - Family and Profile pictures can now be stored at a higher, 800x600 resolution for better printing.
- Password Protection - Separate, per-user password options were added for Backup & Restore functions.
- Top Margin on Reports - A new option to set top margin of all reports allows for greater printer compatability and also allows any report to be printed on church letterhead.
- Bulk E-mail - You can now send an e-mail message to all current officers in Activities & Skills.
- Unposted Contributions report - The Unposted Contributions report now has the option of sorting alphabetically.

Hello all,

I would like to introduce a new website where you can post your reggae and dub tracks for the purpose of getting feedback and exposure. You can upload MP3's up to 8MB, comment on others' tracks, soundload some samples, read some tutorials, and read the glossary.

http://www.versionist.com

The content will grow as time goes on, so keep checking back as the site is in its infancy.

The site has zero advertisments, generates zero money, and offers zero compensation to artists. Just a place to get ideas out and to help each other.

Hopefully I will see some of you donate a chune or two to the cause!!

Thanks
Hi,
It's a really good website!!! and some good sample for dub and other reggae release...
And there are some good reggae song.

Our hotel rooms are looking great in their latest photo-shoot! We targeted every room style in order to help our guests pick out the right layout, bed(s), view, and more.
Each of the main room styles were photographed with our NEW bedding. It's clean, crisp design creates a soft, cozier atmosphere. Plus there's no bed cover. (We know you just pull them off anyway.)

Sunday Times journalists posed as lobbyists. What then happened will eventually reach a court somewhere or other.
Sunday Times journalists posed as lobbyists. What then happened will eventually reach a court somewhere or other.
Unfortunately, we only have the newspapers to rely on, but the trial seemed to me one of a series in which the charges were an exaggeration of the evidence. But I suspect there's going to be a retrial, because no government agency is going to be able to accept that the ban on liquids etc on aircraft is a little over the top [and a way of forcing you to spend money at the airport shops]…as is the old shoes removal business [but it immortalises Richard Reid as the "shoe bomber"!]. We shall see. Another problem from the Blair-Blunkett period come back to haunt poor old Gordon. Anyway, there will be lots of links from this piece to other relevant sites, so it has to be on the blog.
Nice to note that our boys are blaming the Americans for making them act too soon! I would love to hear some real scientists debate whether this stuff could really have worked. But it isn't going to happen!
Please note: I'm not saying whether the threat was or was not real. I am simply saying that the evidence didn't hold up and I note that the jury felt the same way.

God help us! "Language scientists"! Another gravy train arriving too late for me! Havent they heard of predictive texts?
Oh and the cost of getting a court ruling? $35,000. How utterly depressing. Report on business in Russia by the National anti-Corruption Committee and the Phoenix Group with Transparency International. OK, OK. I'll find the URL for you! Just back from the Symposium on Organised and Economic Crime at Jesus College Cambridge. Recovering!
Piracy seems to be spreading. Are we insured?
No it doesn't. The Commission does. This too will one day reach the Court. Fingerprinting on purely ethnic grounds a highly dangerous precedent. Is it criminal to be a member of an ethnic group? Next, as Pastor Niemoller said, it will be a religious group, then an ideological group, and finally…You! [Unless you protest]
O tempora! O mores!
Recommended charges, according to the BBC are: bribery, fraud, money laundering and breach of public trust. There go the peace talks!
£3.5 Billion pounds lost and less than 1 in 20 report it. Royal Mail refuses to act. Claims it has a legal obligation to deliver all mail…what? Is there no offence of abuse of the postal system? Is it the US that has that?Could it be time to start a campaign here?
Decision to freeze al Barakat assets overturned. You cant freeze assets without telling people why, the Court holds. Seems reasonable.

Good news and real leadership are here, just when we need them most, as a massive trillion-ton iceberg breaks away from the Larsen ice sheet in Antarctica and an apocalyptic viral climate article in New York Magazine captivates (and terrifies) the internet. Today, former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and California Governor Jerry Brown announced "America's Pledge," a plan for cities and states to lead the way on cutting climate pollution 26 percent below 2005 levels by 2025.
By reaching that target, the US will meet our nation's commitment for reducing climate pollution that we set at climate talks in Paris in 2015. The dismay amongst Americans and people around the world continues after Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement and his increased climate action isolation at last weekend's G-20 meeting. This new pledge shows a pathway for the US to meet the agreement regardless of his decision.
That historically bad move by Trump has ceded U.S. leadership on fighting climate disruption to other countries, and has even caused some to refer to the global alliance of powers as the G-19, signaling our lack of leadership on the world stage as humanity faces an unprecedented threat. The lack of leadership by Trump on climate has inspired cities across the U.S. to pass their own resolutions supporting the Paris Agreement, and now there's even more they can do to counter Trump's inaction.
Over the coming months, California Governor Jerry Brown's Administration will join with Bloomberg Philanthropies (which supports the Sierra Club) and partners to calculate the collective climate action potential of U.S. states, cities, businesses, universities and others – thousands of which have already committed themselves to cut emissions – and submit that progress to the United Nations. This will further inspire others to join, keeping the U.S. as a global leader in reducing climate pollution. The Sierra Club's work in the Beyond Coal Campaign to replace coal plants with renewable energy will be an important engine of that progress, and our Ready For 100 Campaign will continue securing commitments to 100 percent clean energy from more mayors and cities.
"The American government may have pulled out of the Paris Agreement, but American society remains committed to it — and we will redouble our efforts to achieve its goals," said Michael Bloomberg.
But we're not letting the Trump administration off the hook. America's Pledge is not intended as substitute for U.S. federal government responsibility for climate policy and action. Rather, the pledge aims to quantify, communicate and encourage climate action in the United States, as participants across the U.S. find new ways to work with the international community and interact with international climate policy processes.
Climate action will continue to happen in the U.S. thanks to action by cities, states, businesses, and grassroots advocates, including the Sierra Club and our Beyond Coal and Ready For 100 Campaigns. Together we will continue to make a difference via "America's Pledge," which will help fill the gap and keep climate action and the Paris Agreement process on track through these next few turbulent years.

Protein administration during sleep allows for effective muscle building
Photo: 123rf
Overnight protein administration allows for a faster growth of the muscles. That can help older people, in whom it is difficult for the muscles to maintain.
That says PhD researcher Bart Green, who on Friday promoted to the Maastricht UMC+. Green wanted to know how proteins more effectively contribute to muscle building.
Green examined the elderly, for whom it is harder for muscles to maintain and to build up again after a period of illness or bed rest.
Proteins are converted in the body into amino acids. The phd candidate discovered that over half of the amino acids into the blood, after which a muscle is. Because this process in the elderly during the day is too slow, looked at Green, or at night to gain.
Electro stimulation
Green had served in a number of elderly people during the night 40 grams of protein through a probe. Because of this, there were more amino acids in the blood, and went into the production of muscles faster.
The nightly muscle building can be further stimulated by the so-called neuromuscular electrostimulation. These are muscle contractions induced by electric shocks.
Except for electrostimulation and overnight protein administration may also help to briefly for the sleep proteins. "Maintaining muscle mass and strength for adults is important, but sometimes difficult. We now have a relatively simple method that can help."

Every Tuesday throughout the summer, nightlife legend Susanne Bartsch takes over the Standard Hotel's roof for On Top, rallying together a sea of colorful creatures to overlook Lower Manhattan. Earlier this month, the party migrated southwest for a one-off installment at the Standard in downtown Los Angeles, bringing along regular hosts Sussi Suss, Gage of the Boone, Amanda Lepore, Age of Aquaria and Ryan Burke. BULLETT stopped by all the moonlit madness, which can be seen above, featuring cameos from Love Bailey, Candy Ken and Domonique Echeverria.

On Monday morning, CNN interviewed 10-year-old Kameron Slade, who's the toast of New York liberals and The New York Times (pardon the redundancy) for wanting to give a speech in his class in favor of "marriage equality." School officials said the subject was inappropriate for ten-year-olds, but Slade's speech was videotaped and then went viral through...the liberal-Democrat blog Think Progress, which is becoming a regular source of "news" for CNN.
Christian students have been forbidden in some public schools to offer projects that profess Christianity or Christian themes, but that's not as attractive a controversy to CNN. Slade was invited to speak before the New York City Council, and The New York Times devoted a whole story to this activist PR event with no troublesome dissent whatsoever. Unsurprisingly, CNN anchor Carol Costello didn't offer a skeptical or discouraging word:
COSTELLO: Why did they tell you, you weren't able to do it?
SLADE: They say it was too inappropriate for kids like me to know about.
COSTELLO: I'm just going to read an excerpt from your speech just to show an excerpt from your so everybody knows what we're talking about. This is from Kameron's speech that he was to give at the school contest. This is part of the speech, quote, "President Barack Obama recently talked about same-sex marriage with his wife and two daughters. Some people are for same-gender marriage while others are against it. Like president Obama, I believe all people should have the right to marry whoever they want. Marriage is about love, support, and commitment, so who are we to judge?"
Since this was a "hero" interview, Costello wasn't going to ask for more rhetorical precision: if the principle is "all people should have the right to marry whoever they want," does that include marriages of siblings or other relatives? Does it include marriages of more than two people? She merely asked:
COSTELLO: How did you come up with this topic?
SLADE: Me and my mother, we were sitting at the table, we didn't want to do anything common for the speech contest. So my mom, she brung up, hey, let's do same-gender marriage, because she thought about Barack Obama approving of it.
COSTELLO: And why are you into this particular subject?
SLADE: Because it's everyday life.
COSTELLO: And do you see it often in New York City?
SLADE: I bet I do, but sometimes I just don't notice it.
COSTELLO: Yes. So how did you hear about your invitation to speak before the city council?
SLADE: I think they called my mom or my dad. And they told me that you're going to speak at the city council. Do you want to do it? I said yes.
COSTELLO: So on YouTube, your speech got something like 600,000 views. Is that amazing to you?
SLADE: Yes, it is.
COSTELLO: How many people did you expect would watch it?
SLADE: I expected a lot that would watch it.
COSTELLO: But 600,000?
SLADE: I never thought of 600,000, but yes. Pretty much.
Naturally, Costello wrapped up with "So what do you want to do when you grow up? Are you thinking about a career in public speaking or politics?" Slade replied: "Maybe. God will take me wherever."
