These Upstate New York Airbnbs Are Worth Planning Your Vacation Around
There are lots of reasons to travel to upstate New York: hiking trails, winding drives, charming small towns you never knew existed -- and that's not to mention all the activities that come with fall weather (apple picking, cider drinking, leaf peeping -- just kidding, no one is actually leaf peeping). But aside from everything you can actually do upstate, some of the best reasons to head there are all the places you can stay -- from mini-castles to renovated barns to mountain retreats. We've put together a list of the best upstate Airbnbs available now, all of which are worth planning a vacation around.
The Castle Cottage
Lake George
Rate: $395/night (for 1 bed)
In most parts of the world (or your favorite Disney tale), you need royal blood or some kind of crazy lineage to get to live in a castle. But a cool $395 and a drive up to Lake George can make you king or queen for the weekend at this adorable lakeside stronghold. The three-bedroom castle is perched on a mountain overlooking Lake George, and is complete with all the stained glass, balconies, and pointed archways you'd expect from a fairy tale. Bring your own prince and whimsical animal sidekicks.
Burai-An Church House
Rate: $595/night
Going to church is probably not your idea of a vacation, but if you knew said church was decked out like a dimly lit ninja boudoir, you'd probably change your tune. This historic church has been turned into a palatial eight-person house complete with a pool table and hot tub. Plus it's within walking distance of Cayuga Lake for all your swimming, boating, and fishing needs. And it's a church decorated like a ninja boudoir. Let's not forget that.
The Bluffs
Cold Spring
Rate: $1,365/night
If you're looking for a retreat, this is the one to beat. It's 6,000sqft spread over three floors on almost five acres, with views of the Hudson, the Highlands' Bear Mountain, and West Point. A stone fireplace, in-ground swimming pool, and hot tub round out the amenities at this hilltop hideaway. The house even has its own sauna and massage room (masseuse not included, though we bet after a few drinks someone in your group of 12 will offer).
Unique home in a 28-acre forest
New Paltz
Rate: $325/night
Because corners are overrated, this completely dome-shaped house, shrouded in 28 acres of forest, is one of the more uniquely designed Airbnbs we have come across. Inside you'll find modern design with massive, curved windows that flood the space in light. Counters, tables, and chairs all curve along with the design of the building. If 90-degree angles freak you out, this is the place for you.
Historic Central Park Train Station
Rate: $300/night
Sure, you could rent any NON-historic Airbnb, but why would you do that when you can rent the Central Park Trainstation, also known as the Bennett Station. Originally owned by Buffalo Cement and leased by New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, this former actual train station is now a completely modern house. Amenities include a pool, hot tub, stainless-steel kitchen, and heated bathroom floors.
Gated Woodstock Mountaintop Retreat
Rate: $1,000/night
Once considered a great bohemian escape, Woodstock has now become a playground for yuppies looking to escape Manhattan. We're not saying YOU'RE a yuppie, but you certainly can lounge like one in this massive gated compound. In addition to four bedrooms and two and a half baths, you'll find a saltwater in-ground pool, soaking tub, decks, and Catskill views. The inside looks exactly like what you'd expect from a mountain cabin-meets-SoHo loft, with high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, accent walls, and Edison bulbs. It's just the right amount of kitschy and quaint.
1950s Seneca Lake Cottage
Watkins Glen
Rate: $450/night
It's not like you need to be lured to Watkins Glen, what with all its wine, beer, cheese, and chocolate culture. But if you do need another reason to go, this quirky cottage might be it. There's not much to look at from the outside, but the inside looks like the cabin of a salty sea captain, in all its reclaimed wood and nautical glory. The house also sits right on the lake with its own 100ft dock, so when you're not drinking all the booze and eating all the cheese and chocolate, you can go swimming from the privacy of your own dock.
Rustic-chic at The Barn in Tivoli
Rate: $345/night
This listing is for every time you've looked at your own apartment and thought, "Hmm... not enough like a Mumford & Sons video." Now you can fulfill your dreams of Edison bulb-draped beams, linen curtains, weathered wood, and lofty ceilings. This cool barn is a cozy countrytime retreat surrounded by four acres of gardens and greenery. In addition to the quaint barn itself, you'll also have access to an outdoor shower; a back deck with a grill, pond, and stream; three fire pits; AND a picnic table. Take a minute to let that soak in, then immediately pack your banjo and skinny jeans and hit the road.
Casablanca on Cherry Island
Alexandria Bay
Rate: $3,000/night
OK, OK, you're not a Rockefeller. We get it. However, this historic and famous residence can fit more than 16 people (~$187 a head!), so please do read on. This nine-bedroom estate lives on its own island in the St. Lawrence River, so you truly can have the own private-island experience you've been dreaming about without having to go to the pesky Caribbean. Watch boats pass by via your floor-to-ceiling windows without having to leave the comfort of your bed. There's also a protected boat docking on the backside of the island with its own swimming area. The only house rules? No smoking inside, no pets, and no jerky people. Seems reasonable.
Stream-Side Mid-Century Modern Loft
Rate: $325/night
Bauhaus architecture is probably not why you're going to Phoenicia, but now that you know it's there, why not kill two birds with one stone? This modern cabin in the woods was designed by an apprentice to architect Marcel Breuer. Don't know who that is? Now you do. The three-bedroom home sits on two private acres and has its own indoor fireplace, not to mention floor-to-ceiling windows and minimalist design that any New Yorker will find comforting.
Bright, serene, and spacious barn
Red Hook
Rate: $269/night
For those who take their barns with a West Village vibe, this decked-out "barn" is more like a chic city apartment with tons of light, a modern indoor fireplace, and luxury appliances. The fact that the entire place is solar-powered reminds you that you are, in fact, in upstate New York. The barn itself is actually in Gallatin, though its mailing address is Red Hook. It's a 15-minute drive to Red Hook village and seven minutes to Pine Plains.
Forest Brook Manor
Lake Placid
Rate: $1,275/night
You might balk at such a hefty price tag, but when you find out this place can sleep you and 11 of your closest friends (~$115 a head!), that number seems a little more manageable. And what you get is entirely worth it. This historic home was built around 1920, but is decked out to fit in with the modern century with a hot tub, indoor fireplace, washer/dryer, Wi-Fi... basically everything you would ever want or need. There are three levels to this upstate paradise, with a kitchen, dining room, living room, library, enclosed porch with fireplace, bedrooms with more fireplaces, and access to the club, which has a golf course, tennis center, beach, and marina with kayaks. It's like staying in a hotel where the only guests are you and your friends.
Lakefront Loft With Private Dock
Rate: $395/night
Unless you went to Cornell or know someone who is going to Cornell, chances are you're not thinking about planning a trip to Ithaca -- but this Airbnb will totally change that. The loft-like space sits above Cayuga Lake with access to a private dock, patio, and hammock. If freshwater isn't exactly your speed, there's also a pool on the premises. Hikers will love Taughannock Falls, which is about a three-minute drive. Treman State Park and Buttermilk Falls, both close by, are also great for hiking.
Spacious Lakefront Luxury Getaway
Rate: $1,400/night
What words in that title sound bad to you? None, is the correct answer. This manor of a lake house can sleep 16 in its 10 bedrooms (that's just ~$87 a person). A 100ft dock offers two boat slips for all your nautical needs. There are also nine parking spots for all you landlubbers. Plenty of porches and a fire pit are perfect for outdoor beer drinking and nature viewing, two things we're sure you know how to do.

In any legal proceeding, you're always benefited by working with an attorney, but this is especially true where you're facing federal criminal charges. This type of criminal case is often complex and usually carries stiff penalties in the form of prison sentences or significant fines. Learning more about federal criminal charges and what the process of facing a federal trial entails can help you understand why it's so vital to your livelihood to consult an experienced attorney as early in the process as possible.
What Constitutes a Federal Crime?
In our system, laws are established at several different levels, including the federal level. When a state enacts a law that establishes certain activities as crimes, those acts are only illegal within that state. However, federal crimes are generally illegal everyplace within the United States and have been established as crimes by federal legislation.
Many states mirror the federal government in making certain crimes illegal. For instance, every state has laws against kidnapping, even though there is an existing law that establishes kidnapping as a federal offense. As is true of most rules, there are exceptions. Crimes that are committed on Native American reservations or on federal property are federal crimes, though they're not illegal at the state level.
When a federal crime has been committed, the government authorizes certain organizations to investigate the incident. One of these organizations may conduct the investigation exclusively, or investigators from several of the following groups may work together to build a case:
While there are literally hundreds of crimes established as federal offenses, there are some crimes that are more commonly committed than others. These include the following:
U.S. laws designate a time limit on how long the government has to prosecute specific crimes. This is known as the statute of limitations and it varies based on the crime. If a crime has a three year statute of limitations, the countdown begins on the date upon which the crime was committed and prevents prosecution from beginning after the three years have elapsed.
There are some crimes that do not have a statute of limitations, meaning the crimes can be prosecuted anytime. At the federal level, crimes without a time limit involve those punishable with the death penalty, some acts of terrorism, and some federal sex crimes. Many other federal crimes are regulated by a five-year statute of limitations, though the law allows for exceptions in certain cases. The complexities regarding the statute of limitations for federal crimes show why it's vital to enlist the help of an experienced federal criminal defense attorney with a good track record. Only a professional legal advocate will know how to apply the statute of limitations to your specific circumstances. If you need help with federal appeals, our federal appeals lawyers can assist with this as well.
The Steps in a Federal Criminal Investigation
As previously mentioned, you should consult an attorney as early as possible, so he can handle your defense more efficiently. In fact, as soon as you become aware that you have become the focus of an investigation, you should consult an attorney to serve as your advocate. If the attorney is hired early in the investigation process, he can better ensure all of your rights are protected and he can better develop a strategy for your defense.
The process of prosecuting a federal crime is similar to the process at the state level, which includes the following steps:
Each phase of the prosecution of federal crimes is a complex matter and requires more than simply the knowledge of the legal system. The expertise and the familiarity with the process possessed by federal criminal defense attorneys are your best weapons in protecting yourself. If you're facing the possibility of a federal criminal trial, hiring a lawyer now can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

It's hard to imagine that only a few weeks ago Steve Komphela was the victim of regular maulings by Chiefs supporters. A flop, a pretender, a "moegoe" even — these insults, and more, were thrown at the mentor of the black and yellow.
Such are the trials you must endure when you lead one of South Africa's blue-chip clubs.
But when his team trots out for the headlining Soweto derby tomorrow, it will be to a decidedly different reception as his team is well placed in the tight battle for top honours in the league.
Sitting pitch-side in the other dugout will be the latest unknown entity to the Premier Soccer League. There have been calls for the Ghost to give Kjell Jonevret time to rebuild the Sea Robbers. But, sadly, in an unforgiving league and with the Soweto derby rated among the top 10 contests worldwide, there is little time for that. And there is no time for understanding when it comes to Kaizer Chiefs against Orlando Pirates.
Jonevret, the new Bucs coach who arrived in the country little more than a week ago, is well aware of the demands of the passionate Ghost and how deeply they hate losing against their traditional rivals.
Jonevret says he watched the derby even while in Sweden and he admires the passion. It's a cauldron he's eager to jump into and he says he's looking forward to being part of the game, despite the pressure.
"I have seen the derby," said Jonevret. "I watched the 0-0 while I was in Sweden and I know it is a huge game. We have been working very hard and I am particularly happy about the shape of our defence. We are showing signs of getting solid and that pleases me …
"I know it is the biggest game of the calendar and it is not just an ordinary game. I can only say to football supporters: 'Come to FNB Stadium on Saturday and you will enjoy lovely football'."
Pirates have been like a sieve in defence and, for a team that once boasted of hard-as-nails defenders such as Siya Sangweni and Rooi Mahamutsa, it is a mystery how they conceded six goals in a game that forced former mentor Muhsin Ertugral to call it a day.
"In all honesty, I think, in our last game, Polokwane only had three shots on target and, although I do not know how strong they are, and aware that I cannot judge my team after only one game, I think we showed a lot of character and were pretty solid.
"Of course, we have conceded quite a lot of goals in the past and that can knock the confidence out of most teams … Most players kind of try to show me that they really want to play for me and I am quite satisfied about their application."
Towards the end of last year, Komphela was subjected to a torrent of abuse from supporters unwilling to accept the team's poor results. Although severely tested, he insists he never thought of quitting during his nearly two-year reign.
A suave, well-spoken and articulate gaffer, who turned unfashionable Maritzburg United into a formidable outfit, Komphela found himself holding a tiger by the tail — he had to parry verbal shots from impatient supporters who expected more from a limping Kaizer Chiefs side going through a transition.
"I knew I represented a lot of coaches out there, coaches that also harboured ambitions of one day coaching Chiefs," Komphela said. "And if I just upped and quit, what would that say about local coaches?
"In any case, I have never been a quitter. I wanted to finish this project that I had started and hence I soldiered on. I look back today and, even though we are not there yet, I am nonetheless glad that we have gone through the storm and have hit a semblance of consistency.
"Seven matches without dropping a point, except against Ajax Cape Town. It kind of sends some message of hope."
While Chiefs are riding the crest of a wave, largely because of a midfield combination marshalled by veteran Siphiwe Tshabalala and skipper Willard Katsande, Pirates have lacked that creative spark from their usual playmaker and captain Oupa Manyisa.
"I have heard from a lot of people that many people expect a lot from him," said Jonevret. "So the first thing I did on my arrival was to speak to the captain, and I know for sure that he is a very good player and I saw against Polokwane that he worked really hard and that gave me confidence. I never doubted his abilities and he will play a crucial role tomorrow."
Before kick-off, Jonevret and Komphela agree on one thing — there are no higher stakes for both players and technical staff, who require extreme mental strength for the highly charged and emotional affair at FNB Stadium.
"It is about pride, and anything that is emotional overpowers rationale," says Komphela. "All logic goes out of the window.
But emotions need to be controlled in such a high-intensity match. Forget the history or being successful against Pirates. Players need to acknowledge they are facing a huge side both in the country and on the continent.
"They must acknowledge that they face a team with a rich culture and tradition. The derby is a definition of what South African football is all about.
"We must play this match like our lives depended on the outcome. We will not make wholesale changes, perhaps one or two changes here and there, but that is all …
"We are starting to find ourselves. The more players play together, the better the level of understanding. Chiefs is all about team play and there is a nice spread of goals among the players, where even defenders chip in with goals now and then, which is a good sign of teamwork.
"But, above all, we need to defend sensibly against Pirates and, although we have not been able to score more than three goals in a single game, at least the goals are flowing and that is what pleases me. We aim to play the kind of football that is pleasing to the eye — to such an extent that even those watching at home will applaud."

Final Fantasy VII Receives Update To Fix Music & Transition Glitches On Switch
Earlier this week, Final Fantasy VII on Switch was updated to Version 1.01, which fixes several glitches that were plaguing the game.
The bugs in question are the music bug that causes the the overworld music to loop after every encounter, as well as the transistion bug which causes the screen to flash black when moving from cutscenes to gameplay. Its reassuring to see that Square-Enix still cares about supporting Final Fantasy VII's Switch port, even though it has a remake on the way.

Kalank teaser release
Karan Johar's period drama stars Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit in pivotal roles. Here's what celebrities and fans are saying about the film's teaser.
The much-awaited teaser of the multistarrer period drama Kalank is finally here. The has been in the news since it was announced a couple of years back for various reasons. For starters, it features a huge star cast comprising of Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur, Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt. Secondly, the movie marks the on-screen reunion of Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit, the hit pair of the 80s and 90s. Together they have delivered several iconic films including Khalnayak. And finally, the movie was supposed to star Sridevi but post her untimely demise, Madhuri Dixit came on board for the part.
The movie is close to Karan Johar's heart as it was the last script his late father Yash Johar worked on. The six character posters of the film had already garnered buzz on social media, the teaser was highly awaited. And looking at the teaser, it was worth all the wait. The movie has been shot at a large canvas and the cinematography looks breathtakingly beautiful. A tale of two warring families, Kalank has all the trappings of being a big success at the box office. The background score of the movie is another highlight of the teaser.
And talking about the lead stars, it's actually great to see Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt together in a film. Though I must say it looks like a CGI shot.

Press releases
Avio turbines for new "Virginio Fasan" FREMM frigate
DISCLAIMER: Press releases in the present section refer to the period before the purchase by Nuovo Pignone Holding S.p.A. (General Electric Group) of the Company business unit relative to the aeronautical activities of Avio S.p.A., which took place on 1 August 2013, following the stipulation on 21 December 2012 of the contract of sale with regard to this Company business unit. Starting from this date, all activities regarding the design, development and manufacture of accessory drive trains and power transmissions, low-pressure turbines, combustors, afterburners, subsystems and MRO and CRO activities for civil and military aeronautical engines were transferred to Nuovo Pignone Holding S.p.A. and became an integral part of the business of GE Aviation.
Rivalta di Torino (Turin), 3 April 2012 – Within nine months of the launch of its twin frigate the "Carlo Bergamini", the second Italian FREMM (FRegate Europee Multi-Missione) frigate was consigned on Saturday 31 March, which originated from Italian-French collaboration. The FREMM ships are equipped with the LM2500+G4 propulsion system produced by Avio in partnership with General Electric. The new ship has a crew of 145; it has a length of 140.4 metres, a beam of 19.7 metres and a full-load displacement of ca. 6,000 tonnes. It can reach a speed of 27 knots, based on the type of propulsion that foresees a CODLAG/CODLOG hybrid system (combination of a diesel motor for the electric propulsion, and a gas turbine).
The launch of the Virginio Fasan frigate – Gold Medal for Military Valour – built at the Fincantieri naval shipyard of Riva Trigoso (Genoa), is included in the Italian–French FREMM programme that foresees the construction of 11 frigates for the French Navy, 10 for the Italian Navy and 1 for the Moroccan Navy, all equipped with the Avio-General Electric LM2500+G4 propulsion system.
Besides the propulsion system produced at the Brindisi industrial plant, Avio also supplies the electronic control system (TCS) that automatically manages the turbine, reducing maintenance times and simplifying ship handling operations, completely developed by the Group's Electronics & Electrical Systems Division.
Avio and General Electric designed, developed and built the first application in the marine field of the new LM2500+G4 gas turbine, which generates an increase in power greater than 11% compared to the previous model of the LM2500 family. The aeroderivative gas turbine installed on the FREMM frigates guarantees remarkable reliability and an operating experience of over 13 million sea operation hours accumulated from the LM2500 models. The same product powers the Italian-French Horizon class frigates and is the motorisation of the Italian aircraft carrier, the Cavour.
The FREMM frigates represent the most important military naval programme produced in Europe since the end of World War II, and Avio participation in the programme confirms the reliability of the technology and excellence of the Group at world level.
Avio is an international group, leader in the aerospace sector, headquartered in Turin (Italy). Founded in 1908, it is present on 4 continents with commercial offices and 12 industrial sites. It has about 5,200 employees, of which about 4,400 work in Italy. Company revenues in 2011 were over €2 billion. The Group operates in following business areas: Aeronautical; Space; MRO and Services; Aeroderivative Gas Turbines for Marine and Industrial use; Control and Automation Systems, and Electrical Systems. It is active in the field of technological R&D through a network of laboratories located on Italian University campuses, and collaborates with 24 Italian and international universities and research centres.

« дчегндощк »
Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels, and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him "."
Mot. xix. "Consider what great necessity there is every where of fruitful, edifying speech. 1. In the multitude of the ignorant; and the greatness of their ignorance. 2. The numbers of the sensual and obstinate. 3. The power of blindness, and of every sin; what root it hath taken in the most of men. 4. The multitude of baits which are every where before them. 5. The subtlety of satan and his instruments in tempting. 6. The weakness and inconstancy of man, that hath need of constant solicitation. 7. The want of holy, faithful pastors, which maketh private men's diligence the more necessary. And in such necessity to shut up our mouths, is to shut up the bowels of our compassion, when we see our brother's need ; and how then doth the love of God dwell in us"? To withhold our exhortation, is as the withholding of corn from the poor in time of famine, which procureth a curse". And though in this case men are insensible of their want, and take it not ill to be past by, yet Christ that died for them, will take it ill.
Mot. xx. "Lastly, consider how short a time you are like to speak; and how long you must be silent." Death will quickly stop your breath, and lay you in the dark, and tell you that all your opportunities are at an end. Speak now, for you have not long to speak. Your neighbours' lives are hasting to an end, and so are yours; they are dying
and must hear no more, (till they hear their doom,) and you
are dying, and must speak no more; and they will be lost for ever, if they have not help : pity them then, and call on them to foresee the final day; warn them now, for it must be now or never: there is no instructing or admonishing in the grave. Those sculls which you see cast up, had once tongues which should have praised their Creator and Redeemer, and have helped to save each other's souls; but now they are tongueless. It is a great grief to us that are now here silenced, that we used not our ministry more laboriously and zealously while we had time. And will it not be so with you, when death shall silence you, that you spake not for God while you had a tongue to speak?
* Mal. iii. 16, 17. * 1 John iii. 17. * Prov. xi. 26.
Let all these considerations stir up all that God hath taught a holy language, to use it for their Master's service while they may, and to repent of sinful silence.
Tit. 2. Directions for Christian Conference and Edifying Speech.
Direct. 1. The most necessary direction for a fruitful tongue is to get a well-furnished mind, and a holy heart, and to walk with God in holiness yourselves: for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak.' That which you are fullest of, is most ready to come forth. 1. Spare for no study or labour to get understanding in the things of God: it is a weariness to hear men talk foolishly of any thing, but no where so much as about divine and heavenly things. A wise Christian instructed to the kingdom of God, hath a treasury in his mind, out of which he can bring forth things new and old'. "Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge"." 2. Get all that holiness in yourselves, to which you would persuade another. There is a strange communicating power in the course of nature, for every thing to produce its like. Learning and good utterance is very helpful; but it is holiness that is aptest to beget holiness in others. Words which proceed from the love of God, and a truly heavenly mind do most powerfully tend to breed in others, that love of God and heavenly mindedness. 3. Live in the practice of that which you would draw your neighbour to practise. A man that cometh warm from holy meditation, or fervent prayer, doth bring upon his heart a fulness of matter, and an earnest desire, and a fitness to communicate that good to others, which he himself hath felt. Direct. 11. "Especially see that you soundly believe yourselves what you are to speak to others.' He that hath secret infidelity at his heart, and is himself unsatisfied, whether there be a heaven and hell, and whether sin be so bad, and holiness so necessary as the Scripture speaks, will speak but heartlessly of them to another; but if we believe these things, as if we saw them with our eyes, how heartily shall we discourse of them!
* Matt. xiii. 52. in Prov. xiv. 7.
Direct. 111. 'Keep a compassionate sense of the misery of ignorant, ungodly, impenitent souls." Think what a miserable bondage of darkness and sensuality they are in ; and that it is light that must recover them : think oft how quickly they must die, and what an appearance they must make before the Lord, and how miserable they must be for ever, if now they be not convinced and sanctified And sure this will stir up your bowels to pity them, and make you speak. Direct. I v. 'Subdue foolish shame or bashfulness, and get a holy fortitude of mind." Remember what a sin it is to be ashamed of such a master, and such a cause and work, which all would be glad to own at last. And that when the wicked are not ashamed of the service of the devil, and the basest works. And remember that threatening, "Whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels"." Direct. v. 'Be always furnished with those particular truths which may be most useful in this service.' Study to do your work (in your degree) as ministers study to do theirs; who are not contented with the habitual furniture of their minds, but they also make particular preparations for their particular work. If you are to go into the field to your labour, you will take those tools with you, by which it must be done; so do when you go abroad among any that you may do good to, and be not unfurnished for edifying discourse. Direct. v 1. 'Speak most of the greatest things, (the folly of sin, the vanity of the world, the certainty and nearness of death and judgment, the overwhelming weight of eternity, the necessity of holiness, the work of redemption, &c.) and choose not the smaller matters of religion to spend your time upon, (unless upon some special reason)." Among good men that will not lose their time on vanity, the devil too oft prevaileth, to make them lose it by such religious conference, as is little to edification, that greater matters may be thereby thrust out; such as Paul calleth, "Vain janglings, and doting about questions which engender a Mark viii. 38.
strife, and not godly edifying." As about their several opinions or parties, or comparing one preacher or person with another, or such things as tend but little to make the hearers more wise, or holy, or heavenly. Direct. v11. 'Suit all your discourse to the quality of your auditors." That which is best in itself, may not be best for every hearer. You must vary both your subject and manner of discourse, 1. According to the variety of men's knowledge; the wise and the foolish must not be spoken to alike. 2. According to the variety of their moral qualities; one may be very pious, and another weak in grace, and another only teachable aud tractable, and another wicked and impenitent, and another obstinate and scornful. These must not be talked to with the same manner of discourse. 3. According to the variety of particular sins which they are inclined to ; which in some is pride, in some sensuality, lust or idleness, in some covetousness, and in some an erroneous zeal against the church and cause of Christ. Every wise physician will vary his remedies, not only according to the kind of the disease, but according to its various accidents, and the complexion also of the patient. . Direct. v1.11. "Be sure to do most, where you have most authority and obligation." He that will neglect and slight his family, relations, children and servants, who are under him, and always with him, and yet be zealous for the conversion of strangers, doth discover much hypocrisy, and sheweth, that it is something else than the love of souls, or sense of duty, which carrieth him on. Direct. Ix. "Never speak of holy things, but with the greatest reverence and seriousness you can." The manner as well as the matter is needful to the effect. To talk of sin and conversion, of God and eternity, in a common, running, careless manner, as you speak of the men, and the matters of the world, is much worse than silence, and tendeth but to debauch the hearers, and bring them to a contempt of God and holiness. I remember myself, that when I was young, I had sometime the company of one ancient godly minister, who was of weaker parts than many others, but yet did profit me more than most ; because he would never in prayer or conference, speak of God, or the life to
come, but with such marvellous seriousness and reverence, as if he had seen the majesty and glory which he talked of.
Direct. x. "Take heed of inconsiderate, imprudent passages, which may mar all the rest, and give malignant auditors advantage of contempt and scorn." Many honest Christians through their ignorance, thus greatly wrong the cause they manage (i would I might not say, many ministers). Too few words is not so bad, as one such imprudent, foolish word too much.
Direct. x1. "Condescend to the weak, and bear with their infirmity." If they give you foolish answers, be not angry and impatient with them; yea, or if they perversely cavil and contradict. "For the servant of the Lord must not strive, but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing opposers, if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth"." He is a foolish physician that cannot bear the words of a phrenetic or delirant patient.
Direct. xii. "When you are among those that can teach you, be not so forward to teach as to learn." Be not eager to vent what you have to say, but desirous to hear what your betters have to say. Questions in such a case should be most of your part: it requireth great skill and diligence to draw that out of others, which may profit you; and be not impatient if they cross your opinions, or open your ignorance. Yea, those that you can teach in other things, yet in some things may be able to add much to your knowledge.
Tit. 3. Special Directions for Reproof and Erhortation for - the good of others.
This duty is so great, that satan hindereth it with all his power, and so hard, that most men quite omit it (unless an angry reproach may go for Christian exhortation): and some spoil it in the management; and some proud, censorious persons mistake the exercise of their pride and passion, for the exercise of a charitable, Christian duty; and seem to be more sensible of their neighbour's sin and misery, than of their own. Therefore that you miscarry not in

About 10,000 people have visited the detailed model layout of Moscow at VDNKh since it opened, said Sergei Lyovkin, head of the Department of Urban Development.
"This detailed model layout of Moscow can be considered a new tourist attraction. Both Muscovites and foreign tourist groups are interested in seeing the city in miniature," he said.
The area of the layout is 370 square metres. Some 19,843 buildings in the central part of Moscow have been recreated in miniature. At present, the exhibit is bounded by Komsomolskaya Square in the northeast, the Hammer and Sickle Plant to the east, the Moscow House of Youth in the southeast and Belarussky Railway Station in the west.
The scale of the model is 1:400. It features a striking amount of detail and relief. The Spasskaya Tower clock strikes on the hour and the bas-reliefs and panels on the buildings are replicated. The buildings have an interactive lighting system.

Purchasing a drink for a woman you haven't backpage escorts new Franklin Farm Virginia met yet shows that you can't attract women so you have to buy her drool. Sinceyou're only doing it because you believe that it will Franklin Farm VA newest best dating apps your likelihood of sleeping with her, a drink is a form of manipulation.
I frequently observe the following comment from girls in their own profiles, " I am not going to settle since I should not have to. " And they move on to list the attributes of a man of the dreams and any backpage escorts tips Franklin Farm ought to be prepared to fulfill with the criteria that they demand in a guy. Ladies, if there's a way to turn off most men, it's by establishing a standard that most guys probably can not come close to. Even if they could, what man would want to be with a girl who objectifies the most effective qualities they would be hauled to? Do not advertise this! Another flip off is when a person gets the entry that they have kids, and their kids are the main people to them. They go on to claim that anyone /everyone will backpage reviews for escorts Franklin Farm to accept that their kids come first. Is this a no- no? Because any suitor with half a mind and a suitable quantity of experience is going to understand the significance of a bond.
It is time to look at putting back on your life some of friends and the activities that made you happy. Give your friends a phone. They are generally pretty forgiving and happy to welcome you back. As you can change and locate the" real you" again. . . The guy you love will require notice and there is a good chance your renewed passion will once more excite him, ultimately, bringing the spark back that has been missing and your connection.
The option is yours. You have to" want out" more than you" want in. " You need to watch to your soul greater than you underestimate the danger of putting yourself you are convinced you'll wed or not participated to. My prayer is that each cycle on your life all the dating apps Franklin Farm break off you and be shattered by the grandma casual sex of the Holy Spirit in Jesus' name! For you to keep bringing the exact same kind of dogs or Jezebels who come to ruin your 25, it is not God's will. God wants you holy, pure and whole! For such a long parents on online dating, the enemy has lied to you and led you to backslide, blame God and forsake the dedication of your childhood because of what happened and due to who occurred, but my prayer now is that this demonic cycle will end in Backpage escorts' name! AN EXCHANGE OF DEMONS TAKES PLACE.
But with that said, keep in mind that making love is assumed to be a shared experience. This means that you both should be comfortable with whatever occurs. When it doing something and appreciating it and another just putting up with it one individual is going to be resentful. Always take the other completly free dating apps's feelings into account.
It will be an uphill struggle to have any success in online dating and a comprehensive overhaul would have to be completed in order to attract women in life through chilly strategy and /or by building a social circle.
The simplest approach is to send a short but mild email explaining that you really don't think there is any future to the both of you in it Should you choose that this person is not for you. Thank them again for a very pleasant afternoon /day and say goodbye.
Lives Life Based on Other People's Views Typically, guys will not reveal their true emotions in public since it's more" female" to reveal emotions. Women are more likely to do so because like we talked about before their primary drive that is psychological is emotion. Unless of course it is tears of joy A guy would do anything in his power to not cry in front of people.
Their world was shattered. They wonder what will happen next. They start to feel part of the solution rather than part of the blame- - when they have honest and open communication with their parents- - or at least with one comprehension grownup.
Much like the beauty of internet dating, you know why you are there. Be straightforward and don't waste one another's time. If you come across a non- negotiable, run away. Well, maybe kindly wait till your meal's conclusion, agree to split the test, and don't guarantee another date.
The same goes for dating. If you are talking about your ex ancient and often, you're conveying two things: you're not quite ready for a brand new relationship because you are still hung up on your ex, and you are the type of person who puts all the blame on other men and women.
RUNNER GRIEF CYCLE although run, feels what the chaser feels When the runner feels the relationship, can they suffer with depression too? I moved through a series of stages of depression but most distinctly, in each phase, I moved through different phases of grief including under: DENIAL I was in denial at first that I adore him which compelled me to try to block him- - he did not know that I was running because Icouldn't control how I feel for him yet the time was no right. I went through conflicting emotions and my thoughtscouldn't understand what soul and my heart uttered. After that, I went into a different stage of denial where I told myself that I could live life without him. I told myself that it was finished, and the feelings could finally come to an end.
Further, elect for an image that shows off your awesome features; you can't go wrong with a picture showing your smile off or a picture of you involved in something interesting like playing with your Spritz in the park.
I finally found this originated in a pattern in my childhood house: my mother was a saintly woman who silently suffered my father's emotional outbursts when he had a lot to drink. I had been playing it out in my relationships, shifting roles with my dad in the sport of angry vs. silent and passive sufferer.
This is because, the less time you wait, the more your text message will understand how to despair or need a backpage altwrnatives for escorts Franklin Farm. That is what you do not need: your conversation ought to depend on interest and the desire to meet again. A little waiting always increases the appetite.
There is an adjustment process after a divorcewith a beginning, an end, and steps of learning along the way. You're more anxious to learn the way to be cured, whileyou're feeling some of the pain. You have had some patterns of behavior for years, if you are like most of us. Change is hard work.
Share Expectations: Sometimes partners ascribe a different Franklin Farm VA prostitutes positions to" fulfilling the people, " and it is not considered a relationship Franklin Farm alternative websites to backpage escorts that ignites a forever love. Make sure you are on the exact same page about some other relationship expectations and this.

Nona talked hesitantly about taking the ten- week seminar and was eventually able to explain her hesitation: " If I chose the divorce seminar, it would mean that my union is over, and I don't want to accept this yet.

I could not resist a look and I must say, her vulnerable pussy and asshole in this place looked very sexy and I enabled a finger penetrate her more before removing it and Franklin Farm casual sex capecoral it with my cock and to slide around. I was putting on top of her, as I pushed my Franklin Farm VA real backpage escorts out and in supporting my weight. She had been sighing and breathing and pushing back so that I could tell that penetration was not as heavy as it could be, so I sat up and spread my knees either side of her buttocks and rocked gently backwards and forwards as I sex and dating apps my cock disappearing into the darkness of her sopping slit.
An alternate decent thing about dating is that it spares a ton of cash which else you'd have had to invest every 1time you took out somebody on the town. It is a great deal of people and a consequence of these reasons more reasons that are individual that a number of people discover.
I supported the ban because several of my matches advised me that they received a notification saying they received a message from me. Then once they checked within the best dating apps legacy, there was no message. Be aware thatyou're not only fighting to avoid an outright ban, but currently there's a shadow ban in drama.

First Date- - Kinda After studying that emailing can equate to snail mailing or plain bombing outside, I got an email from one of my contacts, asking me when we could meet for coffee each day.

Nowadays, excellent pictures are taken by most cell phones. However, if you have a camera, I recommend that you use it except for Apple products. Photographs that are better are made by them, and they will stick out from the remainder of the profiles that used cell phones.

SEC postpones volleyball, soccer, cross county competition for the fall
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - The SEC announced Tuesday the start of the soccer, cross county and volleyball seasons will be postponed through at least August 31 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The postponement includes both non-conference and conference competition for the listed sports. In a release, the SEC stated that any rescheduling of non-conference contests impacted by the postponement will be determined by each school.
Different Mizzou Athletics coaches have released statements about the SEC cancelling the start of the season.
"Our leadership has had to make very difficult decisions in regards to the 2020 season," head Mizzou soccer coach Brian Biltz said.
"While this has been an ever-evolving situation, our top priority has always been the safety of our student-athletes and our community. We will continue to move forward and prepare for our return to competition," Blitz said.
Head Mizzou Volleyball coach, Josh Taylor, added his thoughts on the postponement.
"These decisions are in the best interest of everyone involved," Taylor said. "We will continue to adjust our preparation and training for the 2020 season and will be ready to go when the opportunity arises."
Shawn Davis, Mizzou Athletics assistant athletic director said no schedules had been released for the upcoming season yet.
SEC institutions will continue to follow the guidance of the Conference's Return to Activity and Medical Advisory Task Force and the NCAA's Resocialization of College Sports Guidelines as student-athletes are engaged in preseason preparation for a return to competition.

About the Schools:
Through partnerships with public schools and pre-schools, YMCA Powerful Schools creates opportunities for young children that they would not ordinarily have access to.We work closely with the school district, school leadership, parents/guardians, and the community to provide programs that align with school curriculum and goals creating vibrant learning centers.
Many of our partner schools serve large populations of children from low-income families and these schools often have less resources available than those in other communities. Unfortunately, this great inequity in access to resources affects what schools can do on their own to serve the needs of all children and their families.

We will gladly bake fresh farm bread upon request - a helping hand from some of our younger visitors wouldn't go amiss! You can also add home-made marmalade to your breakfast depending on season and harvest yields. There's also farm butter and honey!
The baker comes to the farm every morning bringing a variety of fresh bread loaves and rolls that have been requested. Visit the local farm shop and weekly farmers' market (in summer) at the town's Rathausplatz for other delicacies.
For evening meals out, there are two pleasant guest houses nearby (10-15 min by foot) which will gladly take over your cooking duties for an evening. But if you're keen on doing it yourself, we have a herb garden in summer so you can add the finishing touch to your dishes.
Kommt zu uns, wir freuen uns
... scheinen unsere Tiere oft zu den Kindern zu sagen, denn auf Streicheleinheiten sind sie ganz wild. Bei uns tummeln sich Katzen, Meerschweinchen und Hasen. Die Enten sind den ganzen Tag auf der Suche nach Futter. Die Ponys Stella und Max gehen den ganzen Sommer auf die Wiese und genießen das frische Gras - aber auch einen Ausritt mit unseren kleinen Gästen macht sehr viel Spaß.
Die Katzen sitzen im Hofgelände und warten neben dem Futter auch auf Streicheleinheiten und genießen die Sonne, die ihnen auf den Bauch scheint.
Aber am meisten freut sich derzeit unser Australian Shepherdhund Kira über Besuch von Klein und Gross!
Hoffentlich hat man da noch genug Zeit zum Spielen!

text: Have a second kid only because you want to raise another child. A second child isn't a loyal little puppy you get as a playmate for your first kid, it's a fully fledged person with their own needs and wants who will have their own relationship dynamic with your first kid. I know very few adults who have really close, deeply meaningful "companion for life" type relationships with siblings. ("We like each other fine but aren't super close" is much more common.) Siblings do play together as kids, but they also fight like cats and dogs, which creates a different type of work for parents. Kids also need individual attention. Two kids means twice as much time given over to it. It is definitely not less work (or stress, or noise, or cost, or responsibility) for you as a parent, and moreover you are under no obligation to constantly entertain your kid(s). I don't play with my only child more than I would play with two children.

Your complete guide to the TRL season
2 wins -14 losses, 10th
IN: Mitch Revell (Penrith), Adam Berthlesen (rugby union), Tom Taylor (rugby union), Wally Pegler (Oakey)
OUT: Ethan Hearn (Souths)
1. Jaren Bender 2. Zachary Rub 3. Kyle Wagner 4. Adam Berthelsen 5. Matthew Edwards 6. Wally Pegler 7. Sam Betros 8. Nicholas Nairn 9. Nickolas Trevisiol 10. Mitchell Revell 11. Benjamin Hollman 12.

Off the back of two trials against Redcliffe and Chinchilla, Brothers head into their centenary season eager to make an impact on the TRL Premiership.
"The effort from the players in the off-season has been great. They've really worked hard, and even though at times it's been tough getting players to training because of work, the boys have worked really hard," Brothers coach Chris McEwan said.
"We have looked at a game model we want to play this year, and in our two trial games we have tried to make that work.
"We're not going to make any bold statements about where we will end up. It's a cliche, but we really need to take it one week at a time.
"Against Redcliffe we were able to complete at 89 percent against a quality side, which we were ecstatic about, but things can change in the space of a week.
"We will look at what we can achieve in the first three weeks and assess things after that."
Among the new additions to the club is former Mustangs five-eighth Wally Pegler.
"Wally is still young and learning the game," McEwan said.
"The benefit with him is that he is willing to learn and wants to work on the little things. He is going to be a good player down the track."
Mitch Revell. "He's going to be very good for us. He's a quality player and is someone to look out for," McEwan said.
"We need him to do his job. He's in a position where he has to roll up his sleeves, but he will be a big part of the set structure."
The Brothers coaching staff is the first to admit they lack a genuine star to take them forward into the season. What they do have though is a number of committed players busting their backsides on a weekly basis. Their roster is young and on the improve, so while their time isn't right now, it won't be too far away. ELEVENTH
12-4, semi finalists
IN: Tom Boland (returning after injury), Blake Mara (Caboolture - Sunshine Coast)
OUT: Jason Wardrop (retirement) Zac Morris (work commitments)
1. Corey Blades 2. Alex Ambia 3. Jamie Sperling 4. Steve Franciscus 5. Mike Gaur 6. Mitchell Taylor 7. Dylan Taylor 8. Xavier Manley 9. Danny Wassell 10. Chris Wilkes 11. Tom Boland 12. Dan Manley 13. Blake Mara 14.Cody Milne 15. Conor Brady 16. Eddy Kelly 17. Michael Sheahan
The 2017 premiers head into 2019 with a largely unchanged roster, helping the Diehards maintain a number of key combinations.
Despite going out in straight sets in last year's finals, coach Derek Brady is keen to overcome that setback.
"We didn't perform too bad last year. We only dropped four games, but what hurt us was the depth in players coming through," Brady said.
"The only disappointing performance was our last game (against Highfields).
"We've focused on more game-related training since back in December. They guys have taken to that and are looking forward to putting it into operation."
Blake Mara has the task of filling the boots of Jason Wardrop, and Brady backed the rising forward to take the mantle.
"He's come through the Melbourne Storm U20s and has played a lot of senior football on the Sunshine Coast," he said.
"We're expecting big things from him. He will bring a different dynamic and we'll be looking to utilise that."
Tom Boland. "The TRL hasn't seen the best of him yet and with a full season under his belt, he could leave a big impression on the league," Brady said.
It was tough to get a grasp of Dalby's season in 2018. At times they looked destined to go back-to-back, while at times they just couldn't get it together. Sadly for them they saved their worst game of the season for the end, something they have had the off-season to reflect on. They have recruited well to offset the big loss of Jason Wardrop, and they should be thereabouts again. THIRD
9-7, 6th
IN: Tyrell McCullough (Goondiwindi), Zac Stanfield (Fassifern) Rhys Teelow (Cullamulla) Tyson Mitchell (Highfields)
OUT: Austin Jennings (Mustangs, but duel signed with Hawks), Samson Mariner (Gold Coast rugby union), Daniel Marsh (Bowen)
1. Billy Jackwitz 2. Tye Gray 3. Daniel Jennings 4. Brayden Mitchell 5. Jayden Williams 6. Luke Nolan 7. Hayden Lipp 8. Dom Haak 9. Tyrell McCullagh 10. Zac Stanfield 11. Michael Frohloff 12. Rhys Teelow 13. Shannon Hicks 14. Allan Morris 15. Jack Soderquist 16. Scott Cubit. 17. Tyson Mitchell
Gatton knows it let chances slip last year that prevented a finals berth, but the Hawks refuse to dwell on what could have been.
"We're really looking forward to the year ahead," coach Shaun Hobson said.
"We're under no illusions of the strength of the competition. We finished the year well and have retained a significant part of team, as well as adding a few extras.
"Adding Tyrell (McCullagh) to the mix will give us three dominant footballers in key positions, and while there might be some teething problems, it will definitely be a benefit."
Hobson said Gatton has been able to put together a credentialed roster that will help get through the grind of the season.
"I believe our balance is quite good, which helps setting up a football team," he said.
"We have some quality forwards, try-scoring outside backs and two clever halves that can produce things when you need it.
"To be successful in this competition you need to tick those boxes, and we're confident we've assembled a group capable of good things, and we're very confident in them."
Billy Jacwitz. "I think he is going to have a massive season this year. He's trained the house down and has looked really good in the rep games so far," Hobson said. "While he has been good for many years, I think he can finish the year as one of the best fullbacks in the TRL."
They played some of their best football at the end of the year, and despite the momentum they had come round 18, they were left with nowhere to vent after finishing in sixth. Gatton has recruited strongly in the off-season, giving Shaun Hobson a great roster to work with. FOURTH
3-13, 9th
IN: Mark Offerdahl (Sheffield, England) David McGrady (Warwick) William Beale (McIntyre Warriors) Micheal Hazard (Mackay) Malcolm McGrady (McIntyre Warriors), Jason Saunders (Moree Boomerangs), Nacanieli Tuiqali (Wentworthville) Mike Walker (Sheffield, England) Sandy Rae (Tumut. Originally from Newcastle, England), Khaled Tamer (Moorebank) Aaron Robinson (Moree Boars) Reece Richmond.

Big things are happening near the border, as rugby league receives a huge boost ahead of the TRL season.
"We're excited about the numbers we've got," Boars captain-coach Mark Offerdahl said.
"We signed a C-grade side up last week and have had 27 put their hand up to play A-grade.
"Everyone's mindset has changed in regards to training, and we're getting a bit more professional."
Despite the increased expectations on the back of some strong pre-season form, Offerdahl isn't getting too excited just yet.
"We still have plenty to work on," he said.
"You don't get anything for winning trials, and we haven't done anything yet. We're not getting too far ahead of ourselves.
"When we did have our best team on the paddock in the trials, we put points on pretty quickly. But even though we won, there were parts of those games that were unacceptable."
Dave McGrady. "He makes it look easy when he's out there. He's relaxed and controls things so well, and is a great dominant half," Offerdahl said.
Much has been said of the Boars struggles in 2018. They played far better than their record of 3-13 suggests, however remaining focused for the entire 80 minutes was their downfall. They're not content to let that happen again, and have made big strides to get back into the race for the finals. SEVENTH
11-5, preliminary finalists
IN: Will O'Gradey (Wattles) Darcy Marowski (Year off- 2017 Canterbury Bulldogs, Qld U20s rep),Nick Donghi (Rugby Sevens) Trent O'Brien (North Queensland) Tyson O'Dea (Gold Coast) Josh Birch (back from a year off)

Highfields are set to undergo a massive changing of the guard in 2019 with a number of regulars not returning.
While acknowledging the challenge the Eagles face to return to the finals, coach Gus McKellar believes they have the artillery to do it.
"It's disappointing to lose the amount of players we have, but that's rugby league. It creates opportunities for other players to come through.
"Again we have a good group of blokes, and our culture and standards won't change.
"We're happy with the whole group from U18s through to seniors, and everyone is buying into what we're about.
"We set the bar pretty high for ourselves and will look to be there when the whips are cracking."
Darcy Morowski. "He's a Highfields junior that was picked up by the (Canterbury) Bulldogs. He was down there for a while and had a year with Norths in the state league as well," McKellar said. "He was keen to return and play with some of his old mates, and he will make his presence felt."
Perhaps the hardest team to line-up out of any in the competition. They were so close to making a grand final last season, but their top team is almost unrecognisable with so many changes taking place, including a number of key personnel. If they can gel, they can push for a finals berth. SIXTH
6-10, 8th
IN: Steve Rodgers (Valleys), Jordan Carrington (Beenleigh), AJ Raeli (Newcastle), Paul Schillingworth (Bundaberg), Jonty Vailahi (Highfields), Corey Gregory (Northern Territory), Eddie Dean (Rugby Union)
OUT: Corey Mullins (retired), Emanuel Cerei (Fiji), Jordan Boney (Gatton), Josh Robinson (retired), Chris Oliver (Gatton).
1. Elwin Long, 2. Ashley Hooper, 3. Josh Stanton, 4. Paul Schillingworth, 5. Brayden Schilf, 6. Dylan Adamson, 7. Branden Hall, 8. AJ Raeli, 9. Aaron Marsh, 10. Steve Rodgers, 11. Dylan Haajier, 12. Ronin Grant, 13. Aaron Cherry, 14. Jonty Vailahi, 15. James Vaillahi, 16. Jordan Carrington, 17. Dylan Crump.
The Bears took big strides in 2018, winning six games and proving competitive in a number of others.
After a strong off-season, they are looking to hit the ground running at the start of the year.
"We've been playing a bit of old-school Oakey football for a while," coach Mark Tookey told TRL media.
"When I spoke to (president) Brendan (Dolan) about coaching the side, I knew there wasn't too many changes that needed to be made.
"We just need a bit of an attitude adjustment and accountability to other members of the team."
Tookey knows the club has the ability to match it with some of the better teams in the competition, and said few small tweaks would secure more wins.
"We just need to work for each other and play smart," he said.
"We were carrying the ball and tackling individually last year. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
"We just want to be a more consistent team, and complete our sets."
Dylan Adamson. After floating between fullback and the halves last season, Adamson looks like he will take on the five-eighth role for 2019.
A smart player with the ability to lead a team around the park, he can play a leading role in the club's success.
After a few years in the doldrums, the road ahead looks to be bright for Oakey.
They picked up six wins last season, and they should be aiming to at least add another two or three to that tally come the end of this year.
The appointment of Mark Tookey as coach is important, and will add a calming influence to the team. EIGHTH
6-10, 7th
IN: Nil
OUT: James Dempsey (Northern Pride) Kurtis Shayler (Sunshine Coast Falcons) Cameron Millar (work commitments) Nick Schnitzerling
1. Jeff Weber 2. Daniel Anderson 3. Liam Jocumsen 4. Jacob Little 5. Dom Briggs 6. Jordan O'Shea 7. Thomas O'Sullivan 8. Todd White 9. Brody Manktelow 10. Mitchell Carpenter 11. Daniel York 12. Daniel Pierre-Thomas 13. Alex Kahler. 14. Liam Short 15. Chris McDonald 16. Alex Stevens 17. James Quinn
New coach Phil Economidis is taking to the new surrounds at Pittsworth, and "We're going really well and I'm happy with the club at the moment," Economidis said.
"We're aware of the task ahead of us, but basically we have to get the little things right to put us in contention.
"We need to do everything right to beat the good sides, and I don't think there's too many bad sides this year. Everyone has improved.
"I think there will be a year of upsets, and if the good sides don't turn up to play, they won't go away with the points."
A major focus in 2019 for the Danes will be holding their own at home, something Economidis said is essential for doing well in the TRL.
"We will basically be concentrating on ourselves," he said.
"Our first priority is winning home games, and we hope to be very tough to beat at The Kennel.
"I'm not going to put unrealistic demands on the players or state unrealistic expectations. I just want to improve every week and make the opposition work hard to beat us.
"Daniel York and Tom O'Sullivan have made my coming to the club very easy. They've been a great support and their input has been fantastic. I can't speak highly enough of them.
"Yorky has been officially named team captain and Tom as vice captain."
Liam Jocumsen. "We will be without him for a few weeks, but I like the way he's training." Economidis said. "He's quality, and I think he is going to have a stand out year."
After a tough season for Pittsworth last year, I think they will be in a similar boat this time around. They have lost some quality players like James Dempsey and Kurtis Shayler, and despite a solid starting line-up, their depth will be tested throughout various stages of 2019. NINTH
0-16, 11th
IN: Wade Austin (Dalby), Jeb Gerome (Warwick), Mackenzie Fabian (Burdekin), Ethan Hearn (Brothers), Nat Jones (Mustangs) Jazz Namana (Valleys) Hayden Packer (Mustangs) Luke Jillet (Pittsworth) Mitch Tuite (year off)
OUT: Dwayne Duncan (Valleys) Kyle Athorn (Retired)

After the well-documented perils of last season, the Tigers are back with a new-found belief.
"The boys are very keen at the moment. They're bouncing out of their skins," coach Liam Capewell said.
"At training it's a matter of holding them back at the moment. They're on the bit and ready to go.
"We're probably lucky we started training when we did. We've had a good commitment from the players, and they've gelled really well together so far.
"We recruited in that same frame of mind, of getting mates to bring mates along."
Despite going winless in 2018, Capewell believes the potential is at the club to turn things around.
"We're aiming for a finals appearance," he said.
"I'm one of those people who believes if we are putting in the effort that we have, we're aiming to be there at the end of the year.
"Jacob Whittaker has shown a lot of the new boys what it's about to be a Tiger, and Mitch Tuite has added that bit of experience that we need."
Jazz Namana. "He brings a lot of enthusiasm for a young fella, and hasn't been seen at the TRL level yet," Capewell said. "He's brought a few mates to the club that aren't far behind him when it comes to x-factor."
On the field, 2018 was nothing short of ugly for the Tigers, and that is through no fault of the players that continually showed up and gave their all. There's a sense of belief in the air at Souths with a number of changes, and most importantly, player numbers are back on the improve. They won't go winless in 2019, that's for sure. TENTH

The Valleys Roosters know what they want to achieve in their 100th season, another premiership.
Last year's premiers are hoping get off to a flyer as they start their title defence.
"We're ready. We've had a bit of a disjointed pre-season with players all over the country," coach Brett Seymour told TRL media.
"We've had a good two weeks preparation so we feel like we're heading in the right direction.
"The first couple of weeks is about not beating ourselves, not making too errors and defensively trying to keep teams to as least points as possible so we don't have to run them down."
The Roosters have largely been able to keep the same nucleus of the side, and have added Ben Cook to partner alongside Cory McGrady in the halves.
Seymour said the new additions had the club in good stead to launch a charge for back-to-back titles.
"Junior Chong Nee has come over from Souths, and I've been really impressed with him so far," he said.
Zac Miles. Really stepped up when it counted at a key stage last year. He was rewarded with a starting spot in the Madsen Rasmussen Trophy game, as well as securing a grand final berth. He will only get better for the experience at the top level, and can take his game to new heights this year.
What a rollercoaster year the Roosters had in 2018. From winning the mid-season Madsen-Rasmussen Shield to a losing streak that almost saw them drop to fifth, Valleys clicked into gear when it counted to take out the title. They have a big year in store with centenary celebrations, and what better way to cap off 100 years in the TRL than with a premiership. FIRST
12-4, semi finalists
IN: Sam Broomhall (overseas), Brodie Quirk (return from injury) Brook Croft (returning from layoff) Mitch McMahon (return from injury) Hayden Raumati (Parkes)
OUT: Darren Pettiford (retirement) Garry Ellery (Sunshine Coast) David McGrady (Goondiwindi)

Could the Cowboys time be now?
They were around the mark last year, and again field a team they are confident in, as well as getting crucial numbers on the paddock.
"We've had a good off-season and had good numbers there for us as well," coach Matt Grew said.
"We never have an issue with U18s, but sometimes we struggle getting seniors to training, but this year we've done really well and had between 20 and 30 there every Thursday."
The addition of Sam Broomhall is a big bonus, and Grew believes he can be a leader in a classy pack of forwards.
"Sam injects a fair bit of experience, especially for our younger middle men. They will learn a lot if they pay attention to what he says," he said.
"Jarred (Bradfield) is another that has come back fitter and stronger.
"It's hard to replace guys like Garry (Ellery) and Darren (Pettiford) but we've gone a long way about trying to.
"We always have a goal of making the top five, but we hope to make the top three to give ourselves two cracks at the finals."
Mitch Watson. "He played last year on the wing and has had a run with the Clydesdales in the off-season," Grew said. "He brings a lot of experience and confidence, and is a player of the future. I think he has a big future in the TRL, if not at a higher level."
Another side that has been hurt by player departures, the Cowboys will be relying on their game-breakers to get the job done in 2019. Sam Broomhall is a big signing to offset the huge losses of big men Garry Ellery and Darren Pettiford. They will again have a strong forward pack that will win them a number of games. FIFTH
15-1, grand finalists
IN: Michael Marshall (Warwick)
OUT: Andrew Richardson (Wynnum Manly) Jackson Green (Roma) Mark Gordon (Work commitments)

Wattles have a fire burning inside them after going so close to claiming the premiership last season.
They know they have unfinished business, something they want to complete this year.
"The fire is still there. Obviously we had the opportunity to win it, but it wasn't to be," player-coach Travis Burns said.
"Losing Matty (Duggan) over the last few weeks didn't help, but we've been really training well and are confident of another good year.
"Any team that has Matt is going to be hard to beat.
"We want to start good, because that can set our season up."
The Warriors come into the year with just the one trial under their belts, and Burns hopes they can overcome that.
"It's probably not ideal having only the one trial," he said.
"It can help build match combinations, but we're lucky that we haven't changed our side too much. Mick (Marshall) at the back will take a few weeks, and losing Jackson (Green) and Andy (Richardson) are losses, but if everyone can step up, we will have a good year."
Joe Morris. "He's been in the system for a while and playing at hooker gives him an opportunity to keep improving," Burns said. "He gives good service from dummy half and has done his time in reserve grade. It might take him a while to get used to two dominant halves, but I have a feeling he will have a big year."
You would expect any team that lost a Price-Webcke Medal winner to struggle in the ensuing year, but Wattles have the depth to recover from the loss of Jackson Green. Their team remains largely unchanged from last year, which took them to a regular season of 15 wins. They are one of the teams to beat. SECOND

Virtual chorus brings school community together
Photo: Contributed Photo
Members of the New Canaan Country School faculty and staff chorus recently joined together to sing the school's song, Audentes Fortuna Juvat, virtually.
The song is an original composition by performing arts teacher Andrew Tyson and was created in honor of the school's centennial celebrations held in 2016. Roughly translated, Audentes Fortuna Juvat means "fortune favors the bold," in Latin.
The pre-k through grade 9 school holds dear the idea of boldly trying new things and learning from mistakes within a supportive, caring educational community, the announcement about the vitural singing performance said.
For more information about the school, go to www.countryschool.net.
