A Prada handbag is definitely not the same as the $20 knockoff from a street vendor. Value-brand paper towels aren't nearly as absorbent as the name brands. Following this line of thought, it might be logical to assume that generic drugs are just cheap imitations of brand-name medicines.
While it's true that generics are cheaper — costing up to 85 percent less than their brand-name counterparts — in terms of ingredients, quality, and potency they're virtually the same.
"A generic drug has to be certified by the FDA as being bioequivalent to the brand-name version," explains Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. "So, unlike a generic paper towel, a generic drug is certified to work similarly to the brand-name drug by virtue of studies that the generic manufacturers have to do in order to get FDA approval."
For this reason, in some states, pharmacists may fill prescriptions with the generic unless the doctor notes "no substitution" on the prescription.
Although generics and brand-name drugs are nearly identical, some people ask specifically for brand names, especially after they've seen those drugs promoted in television ads. And when they ask for a specific drug, often their doctors grant the request.
Four out of every 10 doctors follow their patients' wishes and prescribe a brand name when a generic is available, according to a study published in 2013 in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Those requests can lead to higher drug costs.
"If as a patient you ask for the brand-name drug when a generic is available, you're going to pay more out of pocket," explains Dr. Eric Campbell, lead author of the JAMA Internal Medicine study and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Furthermore, because your insurance company has to pay more for the brand-name drug, "what you're essentially doing is driving up the costs of health care for everyone else," Campbell adds.
Drug ads are designed to entice you into asking your doctor for a specific brand.
"Drug companies are not educators. Their primary mission is to sell things," Dr. Campbell says.
When you watch those ads, do so skeptically. Realize they're designed to sell you products that might not always be right for you. When you have a concern about your health, talk to your physician, advises Dr. Kesselheim. Let your doctor guide your treatment and decide which type of drug to prescribe.
Whenever your doctor prescribes a new drug or changes your prescription, "ask if there is a generic available, and what's the difference in the co-pay," Dr. Campbell suggests.
Once you do switch to a generic drug, be aware that even though it has the same strength and quality as the brand name, it could look very different. In another study also published in 2013 in JAMA Internal Medicine, Dr. Kesselheim found that people who received generic epileptic drugs of a different color were 50 percent more likely to stop taking their medicine.
Failing to take a drug you were prescribed could undermine your treatment. Dr. Kesselheim suggests talking to your doctor about your prescriptions so you know how to take them and what side effects they can have, and check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're confused because your pills have changed shape or color.
Every pill or capsule contains inactive ingredients along with the active drug. Although a generic drug has the same active ingredient as the brand name, the inactive ingredients may differ. Occasionally a person may have an adverse reaction or allergy to one of these inactive ingredients. If you have a new symptom after switching to a generic drug, discuss it with your doctor.
Whether you're taking generic or brand-name drugs, make sure to take them exactly as prescribed.
1. Keep a list of every drug you take, as well as the doses. Go over this list periodically with your doctor to make sure the medicines are still appropriate for you.
2. Get a pillbox that organizes your pills by day. Some boxes will also remind you when to take your medicine.
3. Set medication reminders on your smartphone, or leave notes for yourself in places where you're likely to see them — such as the bathroom mirror or refrigerator.
4. If you're having side effects or you feel a drug isn't working, don't change doses or stop taking the medicine without first asking your doctor. — Harvard Women's Health Watch

The benefits of Hosted Desktop for Charities and Not for Profit organisations
All organisations want to keep costs down, but if you are a charitiy this is even more important. Every penny you spend on admin is a penny not spent on charitable work. Your charity deserves the latest in technology but you also need to focus time and budget on core activities. Many businesses are already realising the cost savings that cloud computing can bring but if you are a charity the savings are even greater.
How Hosted Desktops for Charities work and how they will save you money
Similar to a typical PC a Hosted Desktop has all your applications, Office, Accounting, Email, HR etc. and all your data in one place, but that place is "In the Cloud" or in reality, if you host with Your Office Anywhere, in one of our data centres in Manchester. This means you can access your desktop anywhere there is an Internet Connection, this is great for charities with members working overseas as they can get the same desktop applications as if they were in the office. Your applications might be Windows based but you can access from any device: PCs, MACs, iPads, Android tablets etc. Brilliant if you have volunteers working for your charity as they can bring their own devices, whatever they are. With hosted desktop you have no local server to buy and maintain, no IT support costs and no upfront licence costs. In fact most software vendors offer significantly lower prices for registered Charites often less than a third the cost of a corporate licence.
Many charities and not for profits tender for short term government contracts 1 or 2 years. If you have to make a one off purchase of IT infrastructure and Software licences this is a big chunk out of your funds, and is potentially wasted when the contract ends. When you host with Your Office Anywhere there are no long term contracts, you just pay monthly for what you need, and you can flex up or down as circumstances dictate.
So how much will it really cost?
Here's some examples of typical prices for registered charities, these are based on per user per month:
- Basic Hosted Desktop Price to run your own software – £16.60
- Hosted Desktop with Microsoft Office Standard – £19.60
- Hosted Desktop with Microsoft Office Standard and Exchange Email £27.10
Why Host with Your Office Anywhere
Rather than blow our own trumpet please read this feedback about Your Office Anywhere (Cardium Outsourcing Ltd.) from Robert Stanford, IS Manager of Age UK Essex. "Cardium was the only organisation I approached that immediately understood Age UK Essex's zero desktop support strategy. They fully understood the concept of using Chromebooks and other devices (including Windows) to deliver a managed Windows 7 desktop environment to support legacy dependencies that fully integrated with our Google Apps deployment. Cardium then went on to work with me to produce a detailed technology specification to a tight budget. I was impressed with Cardium's "can do" attitude, extensive knowledge and willingness to prototype solutions at low risk to Age UK Essex. Cardium have continued to deliver excellent customer service which is cost effective and responsive."

Animal Farm
for How does the following quote relate to Animal Farm: " education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but imposible to enslave".
the quote is from Henry Peter Broughan
the quote is from Henry Peter Broughan
The other animals education is very limited, making them easier to control. People, or in this case animals, that are educated tend to be able to see the reasoning behind decisions, and determine whether or not that reasoning is sound. If it is not, then they have the tools necessary to do something, this is not the case with the animals on the farm. The pigs have knowledge (education) and use this to impose their will and manipulate the other animals who are unabe to see that the rules being made are inherently unfair.

Carrie Underwood took part in an online chat on her official Facebook page, where the seven-time GRAMMY® winner revealed information about her upcoming fifth studio album. Titled Storyteller, and set for release on October 23rd, the album includes tracks produced by Jay Joyce, Mark Bright, and Zach Crowell. Storyteller will launch with the single "Smoke Break," which was delivered digitally to country radio today for an official airplay impact date of August 24th.
Produced by Jay Joyce, "Smoke Break" was written by Underwood, Hillary Lindsey, and Chris DeStefano, with whom Underwood wrote her most recent #1 smash, "Little Toy Guns."
"It's basically an anthem for every hard-working person. We all wear many hats and are spread thin, so we can all relate to being tired and needing a break. This song is about having that moment to be able to escape from whatever it is that's stressing you out and have some time for yourself."
A clip of "Smoke Break" is streaming online now on http://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com.

Rhonnie Scheuerman's Early Morning Inspiration For All Who May Be In Need Of Some
Take hold of the hope that I offer to you-and be greatly encouraged. The hope of heaven is your birthright as a Christian. Many, many blessings flow out of that glorious promise into your present life in this world. Notice, however, that take hold is an active verb-requiring effort on your part. As the apostle Paul taught, you need to press on toward the goal and live up to what you have already attained. This requires you to exert yourself-grasping onto the heavenly hope from which so many blessings flow.
One of those blessings is encouragement. Be encouraged is a passive form of the verb. You receive encouragement as a free gift from Me when you make the effort to hold on to your hope-focusing on what I've already done (died for your sins), what I am doing (living in you), and what I will do (take you home to heaven). I love to give good gifts in generous proportions. So cling to hope, beloved, and you will be greatly encouraged.
God [confirmed his promise to Abraham] so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. -Hebrews 6:18
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. -Philippians 3:14-16
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. -Galatians 2:20 n
How to Be Happy – Part 1
Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. John 13:17
Holiness brings happiness, but sin never can. Sometimes we find this hard to believe. The story's told of a mother saying to her son, 'Be good, and have fun.' He replies, 'Please make up your mind!' How revealing! Today the word 'holiness' has got a bad reputation. Some see it as a list of all the things the church says you can't do. Others recall those who claimed to practice holiness, but came across as rigid, joyless, narrow and judgmental. So let's define it: 'Holiness is the whole of Christ in the whole of life.' Furthermore, holiness vanishes when you talk about it; it only becomes attractive when you live it. 'The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow' (Proverbs 10:22).The only thing that adds no sorrow is the blessing of the Lord. James writes, 'When lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death' (James 1:15). When we're immature we think we can sin and get away with it, but as we grow wiser and more mature we know better. You'll never meet a smoker who recommends his or her habit. And you'll meet very few who shipwrecked a marriage, recommending an affair. The law of the harvest is: 'Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap' (Galatians 6:7). Sin destroys your capacity for happiness. A loving parent doesn't want to see their children get hurt—and God is a loving parent. David, who tasted the bitter fruits of sin first-hand, wrote, 'Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness' (Psalms 29:2). Holiness is a beautiful thing when you fully understand and practice it.
Prayer: Heavenly Father,
I confess my sins to You asking Your Mercy and Forgiveness so I can seek to live a holy life.
In Jesus' Name, Amen

Case Studies of Classic Turnaround Projects
The following are case studies of project rescues. The plans employed were based on process. As such, they were logical, thorough and executed with planning and attention to detail. Their successes did not come from mystical inspiration, but rather were the product of hard work, tenacity and with the imagination coming from the ability to think outside the conventional box. As a result, they worked in some of the most trying economic times since World War II.
To illustrate the consistency of the process, we have chosen samples that span time and that worked during periods of economic strife. Some are recent and some are history, but the process of creative thinking and careful execution has not changed.
To protect the privacy of those involved specific identification of the new projects is not being published.
Recent projects
- Failed auto dealership, $3 million to $12 million
- Shopping center, $5.5 million
- Restaurant and building, $2 million
- Multi-use development, $8 million horizontal
- Apartment complex in need of financing

NEW YORK — As the end of the 2014 NBA Draft first round came to a close, it started to become more and more unclear where Glenn Robinson III would land.
Then, all of a sudden, his named was announced, and the Minnesota Timberwolves acquired his rights with the 40th pick.
Robinson's name first came up as a possible 29th pick of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who had previously selected former Michigan forward Mitch McGary with the 21st pick. Instead, the Thunder selected former Stanford forward Josh Huestis.
The pair of forwards have played against each other before. When Stanford and Michigan met at the Barclays Center back in December, Huestis recorded nine points and 10 rebounds while Robinson posted 17 points and six rebounds.
Michigan ultimately won that game, 68-65, with Robinson playing the '5' in the final minutes of action.
With the San Antonio Spurs up next, a team projected in some mock drafts to take Robinson, speculation remained as to whether Michigan would have three first round picks.
Of course, not only did Robinson fall out of the first round, he fell nine more picks until Minnesota finally swooped in to pick up Robinson.
The Milwaukee Bucks had two opportunities in the second round to snatch up the son of their 1994 first overall selection, Glenn Robinson Jr., but chose not to.
The New York Knicks, a rumored suitor for Robinson — as evidenced by ESPN analyst Chad Ford in his last mock draft — passed on Robinson, too.
Unlike last year, when the Knicks took a Michigan product and son of a former NBA player in Tim Hardaway Jr., the past was not about to repeat itself. Instead, the Knicks took Wichita State small forward Cleanthony Early.
With Twitter buzzing with how and why Robinson had fallen to this point, it became anyone's guess as to where he would go.
But with Michigan coach John Beilein still sitting in the green room, Robinson's name was finally announced. Acting as Robinson's representative, Beilein held up a Timberwolves hat and shouted into the ESPN telecast camera, "Go Blue." His three sophomores were finally all selected.

Since attending the conference/lectures on Friday at the School of Geography and Earth Sciences at Glasgow University, called 'Encountering RD Laing', I've been reflecting on whether I actually did meet with him unexpectedly, casually, by chance. And yes I did.
I saw and heard him but not in the lecturing and academic posturing, the talking down to us and the shooshing, the tales of drunkenness and of buildings, the history and factual information, and of books to sell.
I saw something of him in the personhood of a man I know, a professor and researcher, who got alongside the women and mothers at this event, listening to us and being with us. I noticed it when first entering the refreshment room how he was in conversation with a woman that was more of a being with her. Listening.
Later on at lunch this same man came and sat with me and another mother/carer, on the periphery, which meant I was able to go and do some networking and engaging with others who were up for it. Not everyone was up for engaging with a mother like me. A writer, activist and campaigner. But some were and the dialogue was both interesting and useful.
I also saw something of him in the presentation from the last speaker whose philosophy is similar to mine (we're facebook friends) and who told stories of the Philadelphia Association communities. The legacy of RD Laing. He spoke in the voices of the people who had been mad and were helped in the PA community, by being there and having people go with them through the madness.
[I walked out of the morning session because I got fed up with being talked at and enjoyed some conversations with women, in the corridor and at the tea table. I made connections, heard stories and it was good to be on a level playing field.]
The event wasn't what I'd expected and I found it difficult at times to hang on in there because I don't like being lectured to or made to conform. It sets my teeth on edge and reminds me of the psychiatric system, coercive treatment and lost agency. I've always rebelled against institutionalisation. Just like RD Laing.

The DDJ-SB3 improves on the renowned DDJ-SB2, which gained a strong reputation with a wide range of DJs – from beginners to pros – thanks to its combination of professional features and easy portability. The interface of the DDJ-SB3 is even more intuitive to use than its predecessors, inheriting traits from the layouts of the top models in the DDJ-S series, including the introduction of the dedicated play and cue buttons and the independent Auto Loop button.
In collaboration with DJ Jazzy Jeff, Pioneer created Pad Scratch. The brand-new feature on the DDJ-SB3 enables you to reproduce scratches based on the legendary hip hop DJ's own recordings by simply pressing the Performance Pads. Plus, smooth mixing is a breeze thanks to another new feature, FX Fade. You can use these features to create a professional performance, even if it's your first time behind the decks.
The layout design of the DDJ-SB3 is inherited from the top models in the DDJ-S series. The jog wheels, Performance Pads, play and cue buttons, independent Auto Loop buttons and all the knobs and fader positions in the mixer section are arranged in a way that enables intuitive, professional DJ performances.
By simply pressing the Performance Pads on the DDJ-SB3, you can use the Pad Scratch feature to imitate eight different scratch techniques recorded by DJ Jazzy Jeff. Any track that you're playing or have cued up will be scratched, and the scratch speed automatically matches the track's BPM. So even if you have no experience, you can create professional scratch performances without breaking rhythm. Use the feature in isolation or combine it with your own scratching on the other deck for limitless creative possibilities.
Using the new FX Fade feature, you can reduce the volume and apply FX to a track at the same time. Whether you're an experienced DJ or a beginner, this enables you to smoothly transition to your incoming track, even if you're playing with different genres of music. There are eight FX patterns to choose from, with two of each of the following types: high pass filter, low pass filter, loop playback and back spin.
The DDJ-SB3 feels natural to use thanks to the clear visual division of the player and mixer sections, which feature a hairline and glossy finish respectively. The aluminium jog wheels create a quality look and feel.

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.

Stuffing or dressing, what do you call it? I've always called it stuffing although we got out of the tradition of stuffing it inside the turkey a long time ago. Of course putting the stuffing inside the bird ensures that it will be extra moist, but on the other hand making sure it is thoroughly cooked to the correct temperature so my guests don't get sick freaks me out a little. This Whole Wheat Bread Stuffing (minus the whole wheat part) is the recipe my mom has been using every Thanksgiving since I was a kid.
This morning as I was running on my treadmill and switching between watching the unexpected snow fall and my recorded Thanksgiving shows from the Food Network, I started to reminisce about how much I love this holiday. Unlike Christmas where present giving and receiving is the part that most look forward too, Thanksgiving seems to be more about family and friends and spending the day enjoying one another's company.
Growing up it was almost guaranteed that one of my sets of grandparents would come and spend the week of Thanksgiving with us. I remember how special it made the holiday feel knowing that they would be there. The preparations for the big day would always start the night before with my mom drying out the bread for the stuffing and making the Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls. In the morning I would sit and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and smell all the wonderful aromas of the turkey, pies, and stuffing. The smell of sage, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves filled the house and made my stomach growl. Depending on my age I was given the tasks of setting the table, mashing the potatoes, or making the cranberry sauce. Having a kitchen full of three generations of women cooking, baking, laughing, and enjoying each others company is really what Thanksgiving is all about for me.
Now that I'm an adult Thanksgiving has changed slightly. My grandparents are no longer here to celebrate the day with us and since my husband and I moved to Colorado we don't have our parents and siblings here to enjoy the day with. Thankfully, last Thanksgiving as well as this Thanksgiving we will be headed down the road to celebrate with my aunt and uncle's family. The gathering is always big and crazy at their house and a guaranteed good time! This year I will be bringing a couple side dishes and my favorite, dessert! The only part I miss about hosting Thanksgiving at our own house is all the leftovers. To make up for it, I made my husband and I a mini Thanksgiving dinner last night complete with a roasted turkey breast, gravy, and this Slow Cooker Whole Wheat Bread Stuffing. While I devoured the turkey and gravy, my husband enjoyed numerous servings of the stuffing. He is a bread man through and through and devoured the easy to make slow cooker version of my mom's traditional stuffing recipe. However and wherever you will be spending Thanksgiving this year, I hope you find yourself surrounded by people you love and food that you can all enjoy together!
Yields 8 servings

We are nutrition and culinary enthusiasts based
in NYC and the Hudson Valley region, in the outskirts of Woodstock,
NY. After decades of studying nutrition and a wide variety of world
cuisines, we were introduced to the wonderful world of raw food,
which incorporates raw, organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds
with nothing heated above 118 degrees to preserve maximum nutritional
value. In the process we discovered a number of wonderfully delicious
and healthy ingredients and food
preparation processes. In addition to wanting to introduce the
rest of the world to these ingredients, we also saw a need to help
cut through the clutter of all the so-called healthy products and
enable discerning palettes everywhere to easily find delicious
healthy products. So in late 2004 Organic Nectars was born, with
the goal of offering a small, select quantity of only the very
finest raw, products that are truly healthy, environmentally
friendly and, of course, delicious. From our line of raw, low glycemic agave sweeteners and dessert syrups to our amazing agave cashew crème gelato to our extra virgin olive oil, gojiberries and raw cacao products, Organic Nectars is dedicated to delivering the finest quality artisanal food products.

I watched this video interpretation of Isaiah 58 today and was impressed with the editing.
It could serve as a call to missions.
I also like the use of subtitles.

I love preaching from Isaiah 58.
The people had some great religious practices, but they were not connecting with God. They had the external practices of religion, but not the internal transformation.
Imagine using this verse and passages in calling a church to serve it's community!

Your church should be a blessing to its community. You know that.
In my current church, we are still looking for ways to bless our community. Our outreach will look different than yours. Our resources are different than yours. Our life patterns (working hours, commuting patterns, gated communities, social classes) are different than yours.
But every church, no matter the size of active membership, should be a blessing to its community.
If you are looking to refresh your church's vision for community service, here is a small biography of books I've read that can lead you in thinking and evaluating your outreach.
1. Breaking the Missional Code, Ed Stetzer, David Putman
Stetzer and Putman look at cultural barriers that will keep a church from moving into missional engagement in the community. Several case studies are presented. They begin with a helpful overview of the globalization of the local culture, and then can help you think about how to reach your local community. "A church that is incarnational is interested more in the harvest than in the barn."
2. A Field Guide for the Missional Congregation: Embarking on a Journey of Transformation, Rick Rouse, Craig VanGelder
A Field Guide for the Missional Congregation is organized around seven transformational keys, using real-life case studies to illustrate each key. I really enjoyed the discussion questions after the end of each chapter.
3. AND: The Gathered and Scattered Church (Exponential Series), Hugh Halter and Matt Smay
The authors, Hugh Halter and Matt Smay, wrote AND: The Gathered and Scattered Church (Exponential Series) to call the church past the "missional/attractional" divide that has grown over the last 5-7 years to a place where we can affirm and recognize the need both to gather and to be sent together as a community.
Reading this book was both challenging and encouraging. The authors are practitioners in the of ministry. It is clear that they "get it." This book speaks more to the practice of missional community versus theology of missional practice. Much of their stories reflect their own experience in developing their church. Read my review here.
4. The Externally Focused Church, Rick Rusaw, Eric Swanson
If Your Church Vanished, Would Your Community Weep? Would Anyone Notice? Would Anyone Care? "I will never forget the comment of one fourth-grade teacher as she stood there, amazed at the work being done on her classroom by complete strangers: 'If this is Christianity, then I'm interested,' she said." from Forward by Rick Rusaw and Eric Swanson
Learn from churches that have made serving their communities a priority–with dramatic results. Your church can be a firm pillar in your community because of the unwavering truth and love of its members. I loved this book and need to write a review.
5. Externally Focused Quest, Rick Rusaw, Eric Swanson
Following up on their first book, they elaborate on their phrase: "Good deeds to good will to good news." They write: "Becoming an externally focused church is not about becoming the best church in the community." They center the book around nine big missional concepts that need to be addressed" – focus, purpose, scope, missions, partnering, evangelism, systems, creativity, and outcomes.
The externally focused church asks "How can we be the best church for our community?" I have used this question over and over in many conversations since I read this book.
6. A New Kind of Big: How Churches of Any Size Can Partner to Transform Communities, Chip Sweney
A megachurch decides to start blessing it's community and how they partnered with existing non-profits. Sweney shares their first hand experience in leading a mega church that had been based solely on attractional ministries into serving it's community. While written out of a megachurch experience, the principles they uncovered can be used in a smaller context.
7. Growing the Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit: Seven Principles of Dynamic Cooperation, Brad Long
This book is not aimed directly at community service, but rather looks at the question of discerning what is God saying to your church about serving its community. Many churches will find something to get excited about, but the principles in this book will help your church discern where God is calling it to serve, rather than seize whatever is the passion of the month. Read my review here.
8. The Tangible Kingdom: Creating Incarnational Community (Jossey-Bass Leadership Network Series), Hugh Halter and Matt Smay
The church planter author talks about his own wounds — his dream church plant, a multi ethnic congregation that busted him up over underlying tensions over how to do church. He was jaded, dropped out of ministry for a few months, until he talked with some jaded Sojourners (Their term for seekers, spiritually disoriented God seekers), in a bar shortly after 9/11. Out of that came ideas and thoughts about how to step out of the attractional form of doing church and actively blessing the community.
9. Transforming Church in Rural America, Shannon O'Dell
O'Dell is the pastor who took a barely surviving Southside Baptist church with 11 people in the choir and 26 people in the congregation and led it on a journey of growth and community service.
10 Barefoot Church: Serving the Least in a Consumer Culture (Exponential Series), Brandon Hatmaker
Church members are often hungry to make a difference in their community, yet most don't know where to start. Hatmaker takes you on his journey of how he helped his church move start 'serving the least.' It should be on your must read list for next year.
I'm looking for new books to read along these lines. What would you recommend? Add your selection in the comment field below.

Why does your evangelism committee exist at your church?
Is it just another meeting?
Does it really fulfill the role of helping the church do the work of evangelism?
Recently I've been asked to comment on the role of an evangelism committee or evangelism ministry in the local church. What are the functions of a church evangelism committee?
I want to give you ten roles that an evangelism committee can play in a healthy congregation.

Pastor Guiermo has listened to the needs of his community.
These needs form the social outreach part of his ministry to help their new church plant serve and connect with its neighbors.
He's spent time listening to the needs of the new incoming residents in a part of the area undergoing new construction.
He's spent time listening to the needs of the new immigrants in the trailer park nearby.

Unfortunately due to an incredibly high demand from adventurers looking to head in to Patagonia and hike Torres del Paine, there are a lot of rules, bookings and yes…expenses.
It's true, the more south of Santiago you go, the more expensive Chile becomes. Tourists only venture this far down south for the great hikes and nature spotting, so they set their prices accordingly: very high.
Also due to the high, and increasing demand, in 2017 they started reservations for the campsites of Torres del Paine. If you are reading this before you actually got to Puerto Natales then you are in luck, there is so much to know before the three-day hike it boggles the mind.
Two of the more popular hikes are the 'O Circuit'/'The Circuit' and the 'W Circuit'. unfortunately because I didn't have a oppurtunity to book any campsites (I came straight from Antarctica to Patagonia), arriving into Puerto Natales with no idea about this park.
So me and three friends hired out a car and drove to the park, setting up camp at the free Peheo campsite, which is miles away from the start of the Grey Glacier trek. After that hike we stayed the night at the campsite, and drove to the start of the trek for the Three Towers for the following morning. Unfortunately this meant we missed out the famous sunrise at the summit. Thus, we missed out on the Valle del Frances trek and only hiked 2 days with 1 night camping.
- Refugios and campsites book out fast. We met people who booked months in advance
- No reservation required for the Peheo campsite ($5,000 CLP/night). Although this campsite is only good for the Grey Glacier and Valle del Frances treks as the route to the Three Towers is too far from the campsite
- The catamaran to the start of the glacier trek costs a whopping $28,000 CLP return
- Entry to the park itself costs $21,000 CLP
- Start your hike at 4:30am from the campsite Campamento Torres to see the sunrise at the Three Towers for approximately 6:00am
- DO NOT stay in the refugios. Unless you have more money than sense
- Hire your camping equipment from Eratic in Puerto Natales
- Pack for rain, hail, wind and sun. The weather here changes. Fast
- If you plan on hiring a car it should cost around $55,000 CLP/day
- The bus from Puerto Natales to the park entrance costs $15,000 CLP return
There just is not enough that can be said for this great hike, I recommend going to a briefing in Puerto Natales before you make the attempt. I can guarantee you will learn something new.
The final thing; prepare to have your mind blown away by the beauty of this place. The first night we camped out, drinking whiskey and beer, star-gazing. I never seen so many stars. The milky was clearly visible with satellites shooting through every few moments. Torres del Paine was worth the sweat and (ridiculous) expense.

You can be sure that the simple act of expectation profoundly influences most of your outcomes.
As long as you simultaneously undersell and undervalue what you can do, your options are limited.
That one act of raising your internal expectations of yourself is a rare, mystical secret of acceleration.
The Psychology of Shortcuts is the habit of looking for windows when doors are closed, and vice-versa.
The Psychology of Longevity is an imitation of the actions, words, attitudes of those living stronger longer.
Nothing works quite like success, because it is a proven feature and fact of those repeatedly doing it better.
These alone are given and good reasons to entwine one's thought patterns with the Psychology of Shortcuts.
These alone help explain the life-extending value of any of us embracing their own Psychology of Longevity.
Since health is the most vital of all types of wealth, the Psychology of Longevity works quite the same.
Back and forth, one with the other, two schools of thought packed and rich with the best shortcuts.
If we do not get it from the horse's mouth, we may be learning from the wrong end of the horse.
Eliminate most all of your questions, in advance, by identifying masters and champions.
Imitate literally anything you can of their words, attitudes, and actions. Innovate later.
You will have plenty of opportunity to add your imprimatur, your personal experience and even wisdom,
after you have repeated what YOU identify as patterns repeated by those you admire most in any human effort.
This is akin to knowing in advance which horse or team will win. Betting on yourself is not a gamble when you plan.
These are foundations of the Psychology of Shortcuts, proven each time you use a PowerGem 100 or more times each.
These are primary principles of where people thriving well into their nineties get to teach us all.
Stop giving your attention to those who merely talk about it, looking to, listening to, and imitating, instead, those who do it best.
This Shapetalk of wisdom is brought to you by the Psychology of Shortcuts and Psychology of Longevity, in love with your potential.
Shapetalk is a subsidiary concept to the overweaning aims of the Psychology of Shortcuts and Psychology of Longevity to even the field.
The playing field of life is fraught with uneven, unreasonable obstacles to the have-nots, and Shapetalk is an effort to compensate oppositely.
Use, fully, any one or more of the keys shared within the Psychology of Shortcuts and Psychology of Longevity, and see and know your power.
Both the Psychology of Shortcuts and Psychology of Longevity promise dividends to every human who often and anonymously helps the helpless.
Until you shatter or even match the countless world records shattered by at least one who proves to know, speak less, and do more. This pays YOU.
Tap more into your own sense of the Psychology of Shortcuts. Live your own version of drinking in the sweetness of life.
You do not and cannot even begin to imagine the greatest achievements of your life before you raise your expectations of the outcome of your efforts.

Kobe versus Durant
Just landed and arrived home well past midnight eastern time, so with an eye on getting a LITTLE sleep, let's power through this bad boy!
We won our first baseball freebie on the Marlins, who put together a strong inning against Jamie Moyer, and road Ricky Nolasco's electric stuff to an easy win.
We lost our other baseball freebie, as the Boston Red Sox committed 2 errors that led to FIVE unearned runs, and they lost 6-5 in a game it seems they should have won 5-1. Oh well.
Our basketball play in the Utah-Denver game was a mess from the get-go. No one played defense, and Denver dictated the frenetic pace. I'm pretty surprised that Utah didn't try to make this thing more of a struggle, but when Melo goes 18-of-25 from the field, not much you can do.
Sports Wagering: NBA
Thunder @ Lakers - Los Angeles by 7.5 with a total of 197. Let the fun begin! The Lakers, somehow UNDERRATED coming off a poor end to the season, against everyone's favorite darling, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Kevin Garnett's new best buddy, Kevin Durant. I may very well come back and add more to these write-ups tomorrow (seeing as it's 1am already), but the main points to take away from this game are that, believe it or not, the Lakers, at least right now, are not the "pay a premium" team that they usually are. Folks saw the Lakers bumble down the stretch, and that's what's fresh in their minds. LA has been here before, and when things tighten up, and those shots don't fall quite as easily as usual, the Lakers know what to do. I think the Thunder will pose decent problems for LA over the course of the series, but something tells me the big dogs handle the pressure of game one better than the underdogs. I like the Lakers to squeeze by with an 8-9 point win. Too close to really make a play, but slightest, tiniest lean to the Lakers. How many times have we seen LA play to the Under in big games? The answer, for those shouting out guesses, is "every time." You could almost back Lakers' Unders in big games blindly this year, and hit about 80%, for real. I'm not sure it's that simple, here, since something tells me the Thunder try to push the pace, especially early, but I think this one ends with a final total in the low/mid 190's. Tiny lean to the Under.
Bobcats @ Magic - Orlando by 10.5 with a total of 187.5. I don't like the fact that the favorites covered yesterday in spades, since these lines are likely to move before the game starts. I also don't like that the Magic probably looked like the best team in the NBA down the stretch, since that, in my opinion, eliminates whatever value we might have had backing this team in the playoff opener. Believe me, I wanted to. But oddsmakers knew they'd have to bring this line out higher than perhaps they would have a few weeks back to split the money. Unless we see some pronounced line movement leading up to the game, I'd avoid this side. You don't have to, you might really like one side or the other, but as it stands, the Bobcats are probably the so-called "value" side, and the Magic are the side that feels more comfortable. On the total, we saw 2 games go under yesterday and 2 go over, and I'm sure oddsmakers are feeling spry about splitting the results, and for all we know, they split the money fairly well, as well. Orlando, like the Lakers, have played to the Under in a lot of big games this year, but courtesy of Charlotte's ultra-slow tempo, this line came out pretty darn low. I don't have any terribly strong feelings about the total.
Spurs @ Mavericks - Dallas by 4.5 with a total of 194.5. The Mavs are still getting disrespected. That's my take on this line. Much like the low lines in the Boston and Denver home games yesterday, the Spurs strong play down the stretch seems to have catapulted the veteran-led club up to just a 1.5-point neutral court dog to the Mavericks. If Dallas plays focused basketball, and Haywood and Butler play some defense, they should be able to cover this number. The Spurs aren't who they used to be, and while Manu Ginobili has the ability to get, basically, whatever he wants, if he's not banging shots through at a 55% clip, the Spurs could hit some scoring droughts that just won't cut it in a road playoff game. I'm inclined to believe the home team sneaks out a cover, here. It's so dangerous, though, with so many of the home teams covering, to continue to back them even as the value drops before our eyes. The total of 194.5 is, interestingly, drawing "under" money from the public, which surprises me given all the big names in this series. I happen to think there's some value on the Over here, as the Spurs just aren't that same defensive lockdown team from years past, and could get into a game decided right around 100 points apiece.
Trailblazers @ Suns - Phoenix by 7.5 (now 8) with a total of 204. This game intrigues me, maybe more than the others, because of the Brandon Roy injury. I feel like the general consensus is that Phoenix is going to just run over the Blazers, but I don't know if that's true. I happen to think Portland has an athletic team, and I think they rally together to at least compete. It'll be, to some degree, like the Lakers-Rockets series when Yao went down and those other guys came out on a mission, and it took the Lakers absolute best effort to keep those whippersnappers from pulling off the insane upset. I'm not saying the Suns get toppled, as I actually happen to think Phoenix could represent the West in the Finals if the shots are falling, but I do think that this series isn't going to be as easy as everyone writes. Small lean to Portland to find a way to lose this game by 4-5. On the total of 204, well, we've seen some mixed results in totals so far. We know Portland would prefer a slower game, especially with Roy out, and if we think they have a chance, I think we have to at least look at the Under. Phoenix's offense gets all the attention, too, though their defense has improved dramatically. They could very easily end up winning this game 103-98, but if the free throws start one possession too early, they could win 105-101. Tough call, but a lean to the Under by just a hair.
Sports Wagering: MLB
National League
Reds (-140) @ Pirates with a total of 7.5; B. Arroyo vs. P. Maholm;
Brandon Phillips is batting .412 off Maholm since 2005 with 4 HR and 9 RBI;
Scott Rolen is 4-for-12 off Maholm;
Ryan Church is 4-for-10 off Arroyo with 4 RBI;
Lastings Milledge is 2-for-6 with a HR off Bronson.
Surprisingly even, statistically speaking. Arroyo has started the year fairly well, and Maholm hasn't, really. I'm surprised to see the Reds as a -140 road favorite. They're not exactly a dominant team, and they blew a win last night in the 9th inning. Pittsburgh is going to surprise a few people at home this year, and there might be some value with the Pirates in a game that could be decided late. Fairly even bullpens, fairly even starters, got to look at the home dog.
Rockies @ Braves (-150) with a total of 8.5; G. Smith vs. J. Jurrjens;
Dexter Fowler is 3-for-4 off Jurrjens;
Todd Helton is 5-for-11 off Jurrjens;
Troy Tulowitzki is 4-for-11 with a HR off Jurrjens.
No real data on the Braves' side against Greg Smith, who has pitched relatively well in his first 2 starts for the Rockies, but how do you follow-up a No-no? This line is strikingly low considering the pitching matchup, and you simply have to take a peek at Atlanta, undervalued because of getting no-hit, and undervalued because Jurrjens got creamed in his last start.
Marlins @ Phillies (-205) with a total of 10; N. Robertson vs. C. Hamels;
Chris Coghlan is 6-for-9 with 2 HR and 4 RBI off Hamels;
Ronny Paulino is 3-for-8 off Hamels;
Cody Ross has 4 HR and 6 RBI against Hamels, and is batting .296;
Ross Gload (hah, I know) is 4-for-8 off Robertson.
Considering this one is up over 200 on the Phils side, that offense has apparently left its mark on the oddsmakers. The Marlins shut down the Phils last night, and they should probably be happy with that. Nate Robertson doesn't have the stuff to keep the Phils quiet, but his job is going to be to get through 5-6 innings and only give up 4 runs, or so. Hamels is 2-6 in his career against the Fish, so there's no chance we touch the Phils, here. It's Fish, Fish on the RL, or my personal favorite, nada.
Brewers (-130) @ Nationals with a total of 10; D. Davis vs. J. Marquis;
Ryan Braun is batting .429 against Jason Marquis;
Corey Hart is 7-for-17 off Marquis with a HR and 3 RBI.
This pains me, but Doug Davis has actually shut down just about everyone on the Nats current roster. At 0-1, 12.27 ERA on the season, there is no pitcher I'd rather avoid than Doug Davis, but all the numbers point to the Brewers grabbing a win against one of the other few starters in the Bigs with an ERA over 12. Tiny lean to the road favorites, who got shut out 8-0 by Livan Hernandez last night.
Astros @ Cubs (-170) with a total of N/A; W. Rodriguez vs. R. Dempster;
Michael Bourn is 6-for-15 off Dempster;
Jeff Keppinger is 9-for-18 off Dempster;
Carlos Lee is 8-for-24 with a HR and 5 RBI against Dempster since 2005;
Hunter Pence is batting .348 against Dempster with 2 HR and 5 RBI;
Derrek Lee is batting .483 with 3 HR and 9 RBI off Wandy since 2005;
Ryan Theriot is 10-for-24 with a HR off Wandy.
A lot of offensive numbers against two pretty solid pitchers. I'm nervous about Wandy's poor start to 2010, as he's 0-2, with a 6.10 ERA, but as this huge of an underdog, and with his 'Stros quietly starting to win every few days, could Houston get another? This might be too big of a longshot, but if Wandy can avoid serving up a meatball to Derrek Lee, it seems like Houston has 4 guys (see above) that can get on base against Dempster, and maybe scratch 2-3 runs across.
Diamondbacks @ Padres (-130) with a total of 8; I. Kennedy vs. W. Leblanc;
Adam Laroche is 1-for-2 with a HR off LeBlanc;
Chris Young is 2-for-5 off LeBlanc.
This is one of those games where it's just tough to know which team steps up against the pitcher they rarely see, or basically never see. I still don't trust LeBlanc, as I saw the kid's outstanding changeup in the Minors, and it hasn't truly translated to Big League success. Ian Kennedy is another project. This game is best avoided, in my opinion.
Giants @ Dodgers (-150) with a total of 8; B. Zito vs. C. Kershaw;
Ronnie Belliard is 9-for-21 off Zito with 1 HR and 6 RBI;
Jamey Carroll is 8-for-21 off Zito;
Rafael Furcal is 8-for-22 with 1 HR and 2 RBI;
Matt Kemp is 15-for-32 off Zito with 3 RBI.
Considering Barry Zito is a perfect 2-0 with an ERA of 2.25 this year, to be a large underdog was a little surprising, but hey, we're dealing with Clayton Kershaw on the other side. This line is pretty fair, I believe, as the Dodgers are going to come out swinging off the dominant show by Tim Lincecum yesterday. I happen to think this is going to be a pretty good game, and I lean Dodgers, but they might just be too expensive.
Mets @ Cardinals (-265) with a total of 8; J. Maine vs. A. Wainwright;
Jason Bay is 6-for-17 off Wainwright;
Jeff Francoeur is 3-for-8 off Wainwright;
Mike Jacbs is 3-for-10 with a HR;
Matt Holliday is 4-for-7 off Maine;
Yadier Molina is 3-for-9;
Albert Pujols is 5-for-11 with 2 HR and 11 RBI off Maine.
This one is a bit of a wash off the 20-inning affair last night. I think most folks are trying to decipher if this game is going over because of pitcher fatigue, or staying under because of all-around fatigue. My take is that the position players aren't really going to take the game seriously until the middle innings, and the best bet might be Mets +0.5 in the first 5 innings. That way, if things just roll along tied at 0 or 1, we don't have to worry about the late frames. I'm not playing it, though.
American League
White Sox @ Indians (-115) with a total of 7.5; G. Floyd vs. F. Carmona;
Paul Konerko and Mark Kotsay are each 3-for-7 lifetime off Carmona, Konerko with a HR;
A.J. Pierzynski is 6-for-16 off Carmona;
Mark Teahen is 10-for-27 off Fausto;
Asdrubal Cabrera is 2-for-5 off Floyd, and Shin-Soo Choo is 4-for-10 with 4 RBI;
Jhonny Peralta is 7-for-17 off Floyd with 2 HR and 6 RBI.
I feel like the Indians are due to have a poorly pitched game, but that's a terrible and silly reason to make a play on the White Sox. We saw how Carmona's sinker was moving in his last day start, and I just don't know if it's worth it, especially with this game so close to a pick. Pass.
Rangers @ Yankees (-175) with a total of 9.5; R. Harden vs. A. Pettitte;
Vlad Guerrero is 6-for-17 off Pettitte;
Josh Hamilton is 3-for-6 with a HR;
David Murphy is 4-for-8 with a HR and 3 RBI off Pettitte;
Curtis Granderson is 3-for-9 with a HR off Harden;
Derek Jeter is 4-for-9, and Alex Rodriguez is 5-for-11 with a hR.
Seems like there's some mild offensive success on both sides, but the Rangers just haven't impressed me thus far this season, and this is a true longshot. Harden won't go deep with his high pitch counts and the Yankees' patience at the dish, and Pettitte has started the year like it's the Playoffs. Pass.
Angels @ Blue Jays (-150) with a total of 9; E. Santana vs. R. Romero;
In extremely limited exposure, Kendry Morales is 2-for-2 off Romero;
Vernon Wells is 5-for-14 off Santana;
Adam Lind is 2-for-3 with a HR and 3 RBI off Ervin Santana.
Another game with surprisingly limited exposure, even for the veteran pitcher among the two. Romero has gotten off to a lightning quick start in 2010, but -150 was too high a price. I'm not confident enough in Ervin to get the job done, but there is value on the Angels side. Just sayin'.
Rays @ Red Sox (-140) with a total of 8.5; M. Garza vs. J. Lester;
Jason Bartlett is batting .391 off Lester, but no real production numbers;
Evan Longoria is 6-for-20 with a HR and 4 RBI;
Jacoby Ellsbury is batting .313 off Garza;
Victor Martinez and Adrian Beltre are each batting .300 off Garza.
With such prolific lineups, you'd think that there may be some offensive fireworks, but I'm not so sure. It's tough to back an "under" in Fenway - I mean, really tough - but this one has some potential. Lester is 6-2 in his career against the Rays, Garza is 5-2 in his career against the Sox, so two pitchers with strong track records going head-to-head should make for some entertaining baseball. Going to be tough to sweep the Sox, though, so be careful.
Royals @ Twins (-200) with a total of 9.5; L. Hochevar vs. C. Pavano;
Billy Butler is 9-for-21 off Pavano with 2 HR and 6 RBI;
Alberto Callaspo is 8-for-18 off Pavano with 1 HR and 5 RBI;
David DeJesus is 7-for-18 off Pavano;
Jose Guillen is 3-for-5 with a HR and 3 RBI;
Yuny Betancourt and Jason Kendall are both batting .333 off Carl;
Jason Kubel is 4-for-10 with 2 HR and 6 RBI off Hochevar;
Joe Mauer is 3-for-9, Orlando Hudson is 3-for-4, and Alexi Casilla is 2-for-4 off Hochevar.
Equally frightening numbers for both pitchers, here. I do happen to think that Pavano is getting slightly too much credit at -200 odds, and this number is likely coming down. Does that mean the Royals win the game? Absolutely not, but if they win 45% of the time, and you buy Kansas City at +180, that's a value. Something to think about, if Hochevar can continue to pitch well to start 2010.
Orioles @ Athletics (-175) with a total of 7.5; B. Matusz vs. B. Anderson;
There are really no historical results to go off, here. Bottom line, the A's are too pricey to back, and the O's couldn't beat a AA team right now. Pass.
Tigers (-130) @ Mariners with a total of 8.5; M. Scherzer vs. I. Snell;
Miguel Cabrera is 4-for-11 off Snell with a HR and 4 RBI;
Carlos Guillen is 2-for-5 with 2 HR and 3 RBI;
Magglio Ordonez is 4-for-7 off Snell.
Seattle hasn't seen much of Scherzer, and that first (and maybe second) time through the order, Max should have an edge over the Mariners. The question is, can he go deep in the game, and can the Tigers get runners home when they have the chance. Detroit was awful on the road last year, and they're not looking strong away from home again this season. I think this one is too close to call.
