Our hearts were made for deep, authentic relationships—for community with others. And like nothing else, small groups provide the kind of life-giving community that builds and empowers the body of Christ and impacts the world. In this book, part of the Groups That Grow series of small group resources, authors Bill Donahue and Russ Robinson provide guidance for the strategic decisions that must be made to establish, develop and grow a thriving small group ministry in the local church. In Building a Life-Changing Small Group Ministry, they answer questions like: • Which approach or model for small group ministry is best for my church? • Who has responsibility for the ministry and how are they supported? • How do I organize the groups and coach the leaders? • Where do I find leaders and what kind of training do they need? • How do I guide people toward community life? What are the pathways and events that move people to become part of a small group? • What kinds of groups should we offer? • How do you multiply groups and launch new groups? • How do we define success in this ministry? As you work through the questions in each chapter you'll develop a coherent, strategic plan for building and leading the small group ministry at your church. And whether you are establishing a new ministry or transitioning from older models of small group ministry that are no longer effective today, you'll benefit from the time-tested wisdom of the authors. This workbook can be used as a stand-alone resource or it can be used with the five-session training videos taught by the authors available on the Equipping Life-Changing Small Groups DVD (sold separately).

A new fare structure on the Sydney to Devonport Spirit of Tasmania 111 makes cruising to Tasmania with your vehicle cheaper than flying and hiring a car, Chief Executive Peter Simmons says.
"The market place has changed dramatically in the last year, with a key factor being more competitive air pricing, to which we need to respond," he said from Devonport. The company has opened sailings to December 2005.
The change to the Sydney fare structure, effective 26 January, is a result of extensive consumer research to make the Sydney – Tasmania service more competitive.
"As of January 26, 2005, passengers will enjoy significant savings. Fares will start from $180 one-way and an inside twin cabin will start at $300 per person twin-share", he said.
"This represents a $165 saving from a full fare. Fares will still include a gourmet dinner and brunch. This means a couple travelling with their standard car will save a total of $570 on the return fare," he said.
"Standard passenger vehicles will be $55 one-way all year round, which is great added value for passengers compared with hire cost charges," Mr Simmons said. The company has also further reduced fares for pensioners and senior card holders. Passengers already booked on the Sydney service from 26 January, 2005 onwards will automatically have the new cheaper fares applied to their booking. A Spirit of Tasmania consultant or travel agent will contact these customers.
Since commencing service on 13 January, 2004, Spirit of Tasmania III has carried over 66,000 passengers, 30,000 passenger vehicles and 4,500 freight units. Spirit of Tasmania can be contacted on 13 20 10. See Travel and Towing Tips in forums.

Hunting Diabetes
December 2009 by by Michael Gibson Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
For Abi Thornton, the promise of an independent life lies at the end of a leash.
The 16-year-old Aberdeen teen relies on her diabetic alert dog, a British lab named Mr. Darcy, to tip her off when her blood sugar starts to fall or rise rapidly.
"He never lets it get to the point where it's scary," said Abi, who can't consistently feel her blood sugar dropping to dangerous levels. Check it out.... In the News

It's All in a Name
One frequently asked question we receive in response to our Drake series on DU tv and at our workshops is how do we get our dogs so steady that they constantly honor others making a retrieve. When hunting with more than one dog in the blind or as was the case in our Orlando workshop, where dogs are being prepared for their senior pass in competition, honoring becomes an important skill. With the excitement experienced in both situations: gunfire, birds, calls, and the anxiousness of handlers/hunters themselves, the temptation to run in is strong for any enthusiastic hunting dog even more tantalizing when another dog is sent and ours must remain quietly in the blind. [...Read more]
Achieving Focus in Young Retrievers
Among my favorite field experiences is when one of my labs makes a flush of an upland bird, then remains absolutely steady to the shot and fall while marking the bird. Without a word from me, the dog looks directly at me, eyes locked, motionless, waiting for instruction. You can see in his expression, "What do you want? Just say the word and I'm off." That's' focus! [...Read more]

When Your Dog Won't Come: An Expert's Solution
September 16, 2009 By Davi Dibenedetto - The Gun Dog Blog
Today I'm pulling a letter from the Man's Best Friend reader mailbag. It's a question I hear often and a problem I've experienced myself. Here's the letter:
I have a 4-month-old yellow lab. The question I have is how do you command the dog once the check cord is off. When we are outside training with the check cord on, Ginger is pretty good with sit, stay, come. When we take her outside to go to the bathroom she doesn't listen at all. It's like she knows the check cord is off and does whatever she wants. Sometimes she won't acknowledge her name. I know the answer to my question is when we take her outside we should always have the check cord on. I just want to know how to break her of this. [...Read more]
The Block
We have all been caught by surprise when our hunting dog just seems to hit a wall in training or on a hunt, an apparent mental block. Strange it seems, we think, the dog should know this, we have run this before. But there it is, our dog just "blocked" by seemingly total confusion with a look on their face as if to say, "What?" or even worse they just blast off on a what is best described as an independent frolic doing just the opposite of our intention. Well, what you have likely experienced is what is called a generalization. [...Read more]
The Five Basic Motivators
September 16, 2009 by Mike Stewart
In order to train any dog, you've got to know what your dog is willing to work for. Every dog is a bit different, even within breeds, so finding your dog's favorite things is up to you. In this clip, Mike explains five basics that should be combined in different proportions depending on what you want in your finished dog. If you pay attention, you'll also hear Mike mention something called a primary motivator or reinforcer. Here�s a quick primer on the difference between primary and secondary reinforcers.

An Antique Chair
It had belonged to my great aunt and then to my grandparents.
Grandpa just passed at age 101 after a long happy, healthy life.
The chair has wonderful details and is in amazing condition.
Even the bottom of the legs have a cutout.
It would be great to have the wood refinished but I also love the look of wear showing its age.
This would be a fun piece to bring to Antique Roadshow!
I hope you have enjoyed viewing this relic of the past. Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

You are so blessed to receive such a gift as this chair! If it had eyes and ears, think of the stories it could tell. When I look at it I think of a parent or grandparent sitting there with a little one and reading a book. Since it's a family heirloom, I wouldn't refinish it. It's beautiful the way it is, and has obviously been cared for. It's beautiful! And 101 years old! Imagine what he has seen in his lifetime!ReplyDelete

David Sanchez Burr's new gallery, Multiplexer, is the culmination of years spent mining the intersection of art and technology, images and ideas, emotion and intellect. Now, in an elevator-size space that can barely hold a half-dozen people at one time, the artist hopes to legitimize video as an art form in Las Vegas.
"I've always been fascinated with technology in the arts," he says over coffee at The Beat, adjacent to his gallery in Emergency Arts in the Fremont East Entertainment District. "Not just video, but automation, anything mechanical. I started flipping knobs and switches at a very early age." His fascination goes back to a childhood spent in the outskirts of sunny Madrid, where he was born and raised by his mother (an IBM employee) and American father (a university professor). Weekend mornings, a young, Spanish-speaking Sanchez Burr donned giant, padded Sansui headphones and listened to shortwave radio and American pop stations broadcast from a nearby NATO base.
"I loved hearing different languages," he says. "It's how I started to learn English, listening to distant transmissions that technology made possible."
Later, Sanchez Burr spent his teenage years and early 20s "being angry," playing guitar in punk bands and touring the U.S. and Canada. But after using a Mac to digitize Super 8 reels shot by his grandfather—in 1999, an arduous project—he got the "video-as-art" bug. Still, video remained only part of his fine-arts education, which he began as an undergrad at Virginia Commonwealth University. Eventually, he decided to move to Las Vegas to earn a master of fine arts degree from UNLV.
"What got me interested in video as far as Multiplexer goes is the fact that in recent years technology has not only advanced but become incredibly affordable," he says.
Affordability is certainly key for Sanchez Burr. For instance, the 22-inch LED screens that provide Multiplexer's visual power are today sold for a song. After graduating from UNLV in '09, he struggled to find work in a bad economy, settling for a job with a company that designed video-broadcasting software for the Mac—back where he started, really. In the course of working for that company, though, he tightened up and expanded his video-related knowledge and skills, which translated into Multiplexer.
"The idea behind Multiplexer is to offer a viewing setting that's quiet, dark and unique—a contrast with what's going on outside and around the corner at the Fremont Street Experience canopy, which is a crazy maelstrom of video. And the idea is to invite people in here see something entirely different. Maybe such a high-gear shift will break them away from the stereotypes they have of Vegas."
Multiplexer's debut show (The First Show, it's simply called) unites nine international artists—including Germany's Anné Klint and South Korea's Sujin Lee—for a selection strictly culled from a call for videos that went out late last year. (After The First Show, Multiplexer moves toward theme-based curation.) Don't expect cyber-centered postmodernism for postmodernism's own sake, or any, as Sanchez Burr describes it, "over-explored, Web-based sensationalism."
"When technology completely takes over an artist's idea, the art that inevitably results is a high-minded form of jacking off," Sanchez Burr says. "Technology isn't supposed to be discussed; it's the ideas that should merit a discussion."
The central challenge with video as an art form is that video remains an eternal boogeyman of visual presentation. Sure, people can distinguish between watching CNN and looking at art. But because the same medium is being employed, confusion sets in. "Ultimately, what's the difference?" many might ask.
Multiplexer videos will be limited to eight minutes. A catalog of digital links for each video (unless an artist doesn't want his or her contribution to be viewed online) will be provided at Multiplexer's website: MultiplexerSpace.wordpress.com.
If The First Show is any indication, the range of style and subject matter is wide, from representational drawings to stop-motion animation to effects manipulations. For example, Lydia Moyer's three-minute Desert Solitaire serves as an otherworldly meditation on California's high desert, a fractured landscape of Joshua Trees charged with powerful, psychedelic energies. Klint's lovely If Only I Were as Beautiful as You uses Mayan myths to explain the creation of the hummingbird and explore animal/human relationships and man's connection to the natural world.
"I'm not just looking for video artists, though," Sanchez Burr says. "I'm also seeking out people who use the medium in a different way."

lied zum sonntag: i am damo suzuki
Generous, valeric, Jehovah's Witness
Stands in Cologne Marktplatz
Drums come in
When the drums come in fast
Drums to shock, into brass evil
What have you got in that paper bag?
Is it a dose of Vitamin C?
Ain't got no time for Western medicine
I am Damo Suzuki
Stands in Cologne Marktplatz
Drums come in
When the drums come in fast
Drums to shock, into brass evil
What have you got in that paper bag?
Is it a dose of Vitamin C?
Ain't got no time for Western medicine
I am Damo Suzuki
The fuck-up like red acid rain
Give it to me Daki every day
Who is Mr. Karlheinz Stockhausen?
Introduce me
I'm Damo Suzuki
Soundtracks, Soundtracks
Melched together, the lights
The lights above you
Listener was in cahoots with Fritz Lieber
And read him every day
Recipe for fear gas, amount of salt ash
I put by cup of meine freiheit, okay
I have no time for Western medicine
I am Damo Suzuki
May we go back to days pre-Virgin
Cannot get on clear vinyl
The handle that was brass, is now brass evil
The rock that was an egg, is in wrong cradle
The hand that cradles the rock, makes egg gooey
I am Damo Suzuki
Is this west latent pattern?
Run it, says Damo's spirit
Is this lesser European?
Speak it, says Damo's spirit

My First Time with Jay Reatard...... V/V
By King Khan
When we arrived at the airport he bought me some water and a beer. We went to the bathroom where he threw up standing with the door of the toilet stall wide open, i was blowing my nose so hard it sounded like a trumpet and looked like an abortion had come out of my nostril. We were the only two guys in the bathroom and then in walks this old Brazilian man who must have been like 70 years old. He was in slow motion. When he opened the door he took one look at us, me with bloody slimeball in hand, and jay vomitting. He just turned around and left. We erupted into very loud maniacal laughter. We flew into Buenos Aires, checked into a luxurious hotel, and went swimming. We sat by the pool and talked about how great things had turned out for us. We went for a bite to eat and walked around the city for a few hours, he spoke of how he had made peace with his dad and was really stoked about that. We sat down and ate a nice meal and he got the check.
Later that night we played in a soccer club house for a strange party of people who may or may not have really got what we were doing, but whatever we had a shit load of fun. I saw him piss in some soccer trophy backstage, it was a real hoot.
I miss him everyday and I know that wherever he may be right now he is surrounded by all the legends that made us who we are. Jay Reatard was a real rock n roller, a true death cult champion and the first and only male lips that have ever touched my penis. There I said it.

lied zum sonntag: walls
"I wrote Walls a long time ago, when we were first starting out. I suppose it's about the mentality our generation gets caught up in. A generation that is clever, creative and able but often unmotivated to take the first step. If we can get passed that, if we can break past those walls, the possibilities are endless. On an individual level its about having someone, a partner or maybe even just a friend,that helps us with this." Nils O.

Officer Involved Shooting (Press Release)
ABILENE, TX – On the morning of August 8, 2012, at 5:22 AM, the Abilene Police Department received a 911 call from a residence in the 1400 block of N. 17th. The female caller reported that her estranged husband had broken into the home and was threating to kill her with a gun. He then began talking about killing himself and walked outside of the residence. As officers were responding, the female caller reported that the husband was in the back yard of the residence still holding the gun.
Multiple officers arrived on the scene and began searching for the suspect. Shortly after their arrival, the suspect was located in a shed in the back yard of the residence. The suspect pointed his gun at the officers and the officers responded by firing upon the suspect. The suspect was hit and was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The suspect, a 49 year old male, will be sent for an autopsy in Fort Worth.
Our preliminary investigation indicates that two officers fired upon the suspect and he was hit multiple times. We have recovered the suspect's weapon which was a loaded revolver.
As with any officer involved shooting, we are conducting a joint investigation with the Texas Rangers. The officers involved will be on administrative leave. At this point, it appears that the officers' acted with necessary and reasonable force. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased and the officers. This unfortunate event will carry a lasting, traumatic impact on all involved.

The William Coleman House, designed by Asher Benjamin in 1797, was first a private home and the finest example in the town of Greenfield, Massachusetts. By 1829 it had become a high school for young ladies. Wings were added to either end of the building for classrooms and dormitories. The school was out of business by 1843, and when this print was made it was the home of the Honorable Almon Brainard, a lawyer and businessman who lived in the house from 1844 to 1864.

VIEVU PVR-PRO 2 Portable Video Camera
CES 2009 may be over, but I have enough material collected from the collective booths that I visited for articles for the rest of the month, and longer. For example, when I was passing through the Sands/Venetian portion of the show, I met two representatives for VIEVU.
The VIEVU PVR-PRO 2 is a camera that is small enough to be clipped on to a user's shirt for home and law-enforcement purposes. There is a small lens there, and the cover can be flipped open to start recording, and shut for stopping it. With every flip, the video footage is saved as a separate file.
The video footage is SVGA and shoots at 30 frames per second with resolution of 640 x 480. The PVR-PRO 2 has an internal 4 GB memory card for over four hours of recording time. After filming, a user can then connect the VIEVU via USB to a PC or MAC for downloading the videos.
The VIEVU is quite light at 3.5 ounces, and is waterproof with a rubberized case for durability. It is also waterproof, not so much that you can take it scuba-diving, but enough to still work after you spilled a drink on it, for example.
You should be able to get the VIEVU PVR-PRO 2 at the company website for approximately $399.95. That might be a bit too much, but I like where VIEVU is going as far as portable video cameras are concerned.

As a filmmaker who will never run out of gritty tales about the 'AamAdmi', 'A Wednesday' director NeerajPandey says he feels for the man on the streets.
"As a filmmaker one can never run out of the tales about the struggle faced by the common man. You all encounter everyday glitches in life, from terrorism scare to ration shortage in a city," said Neeraj, recalling how the Naseeruddin-starrer 'A Wednesday' happened much before the common man issue hit page one.
"Actually I am enamoured by the tale of everyday people we get to hear. This gives rise to the story and scripting," Neeraj, who would rate 'Special 26', the thriller heist film starring Akshay Kumar as next to his more realistic 'AWednesday'.
"'Special 26' is also the tale of common man, but the common con man," he quipped.
Neeraj said he was happy to know that 'A Wednesday' had been recommended for viewing by then Kolkata Police Commissioner Goutam Mohan Chakraborty for police personnel.
Coming to his upcoming release 'Total Siyapaa', a love story with a twist, Neeraj said, "It is a departure from the earlier genre and an out and out comedy."
The film will be released in March, he said.
'Total Siyapaa' boasts of a star cast that includes Ali Zafar, YamiGautam, KironKher and AnupamKher. Neeraj, however, won't spill the beans about his second project with Akshay Kumar.
"Yes I am working on a script. But it is too early to talk on that," he said refusing to elaborate on the cast.

Last weekend my family and several friends camped on a strip of sandbar outside Ensenada, Mexico.
My little niece was with us, representing the third generation that has camped there in the last 50 years. Ken, our close friend, neighbor and patriarch of the sandbar, introduced us to the spot.
As we gathered around the campfire the first night. Ken shared that the folks at the neighboring camp mentioned to him, "We call you the Kennedy compound because you always have so many people. You just have so many friends."

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp cornmeal (optional)
Just add the dry ingredients to a bowl. I mix them together to blend. Add the egg, oil, and milk. Mix with a wire whisk until blended together. Make sure you don't overbeat.
Note: you may substitute the buttermilk with plain yogurt, regular milk and yogurt, or whatever you have in the house. You may also use 1/2 or all whole wheat flour. I like to sometimes use half of each. This recipe doubles or triples easily.
This is what the batter will look like if you use whole wheat and unbleached flour.
Using about a 1/2 c measuring cup, pour the batter onto a pre-heated griddle, or any pan you may use to cook them on. I just spray on a little pam.
I like the cast iron pans because they are seasoned, and they hold heat well, so they work great for pancakes. Flip them over when they either get little bubbles on the top, or start to brown on the bottom.
When they are browned, they are ready!
You can add berries or any spices you like when you mix them. Cinnamon is good! Or serve with jam or syrup. Here's a link to my easy Homemade Maple Flavor Syrup! Enjoy!!

These last few years, exchange programs between universities across the world have become very popular. Every year, thousands of students choose to go studying or working as interns abroad. They often come home with amazing memories, new knowledge and priceless experiences.
Within the European Union, the Erasmus program is the most commonly known. Erasmus stands for European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students and makes a reference to humanist Desiderius Erasmus who was, in his time, a real pioneer in terms of studying abroad. The Erasmus program was created 25 years ago and aimed at promoting exchanges for students and professors. Since then, more than 2 million young Europeans have been granted scholarships to go study in partner universities for one or two semesters. During the academic year 2009-2010, the number of students participating in the Erasmus program broke a new record and reached 200,000. France, Germany and Spain welcome the greatest number of students every year (source: http://ec.europa.eu/education/lifelong-learning-programme/doc80_en.htm).
Nowadays, having some experience of living abroad is no longer considered as a strength: it is almost an obligation.
What are the main advantages of staying abroad?
First, a better education: the tutorial system is usually different and classes are not organized as in the students' home countries. Thus, they have to broaden their minds and go into further detail to understand perfectly their classes. They learn to master other ways of working and to consider their subject of study from other points of view.
Moreover, they are usually immersed in new languages and cultures which is an amazing experience and a real strength on a résumé. By getting in contact with the locals, they can really get to know a new culture and get a better understanding of the habits, ways of thinking and of functioning of the country they are in.
From an individual point of view, living abroad is even more enriching. Students will have to learn to live on their own and to be independent. Should they have problems, they learn to solve them by themselves as there is often no one around to help them. Multicultural experiences help broaden the mind and are really useful in a professional environment. Students usually grow up while living abroad and learn to be open when meeting new people. Strong friendships often grow between exchange students coming from all over the world. They develop international networks, which can always be useful when looking for a job.
As a general basis, managers usually consider that students who lived abroad have more managerial skills, know how to adapt to new situations especially intercultural situations. And usually, they are not afraid to go working abroad.
Still not convinced that you need international experiences?
Stop hesitating, pack your bags and go have an amazing experience that you won't forget to find out by yourself!

This is an older issue that was resolved by an update from the manufacturer, but it's still an interesting story.
Continuing from yesterday, Marc Weber Tobias also was instrumental in getting Kaba to update their Simplex push-button mechanical combination locks. On those door locks, which have seen near ubiquitous deployment, a mechanical combination is entered into a push-button key pad, which unlocks the door. Some models include other features, like "bypass" which allows a person inside to egress through the door without pushing the combination. It's this feature on the Kaba lock that Tobias learned could be defeated with a rare earth magnet.
Here's a (slightly dry) walk through of how the lock is defeated using just a magnet, leaving no forensic evidence of unauthorized entry whatsoever:
One aspect of this story that will be interesting for computer security professionals is the element of "responsible disclosure" used by Tobias to attempt to force the hand of the manufacturer to fix the problem, followed by the manufacturer's all too familiar "there is no such problem" response (yet they did fix it).

Like all acne, acne on your upper back is caused by clogged pored resulting from a mixture of dead skin cells, dirt and oil. Some topical treatments may improve your skin while using them, but it is hard to reach your back, and once you stop them, your acne is likely to flare up again. High-dose vitamin supplements may help to treat your acne by providing you with antioxidants and skin-healing support. Vitamins should, however, only be taken under the supervision of a health-care professional.
If your back acne is the result of a vitamin deficiency, it can be hard to pinpoint what vitamins you are lacking. Also, many vitamins work synergistically and the intake of one may require an increased need for another. Start off by taking a high-dose multivitamin supplement daily. Choose one that does not contain iodine, however, because this mineral can worsen acne, according to Phyllis Balch in her book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing."
Vitamins A and D
Balch says that vitamin A is important for skin health and that it can help to strengthen the protective epithelial skin tissue. Ross Trattler, N.D., suggests in his book "Better Health through Natural Healing" that you take 50,000 to 100,000 IU of emulsified vitamin A daily until your acne is healed and then taking 5,000 IU daily thereafter. Vitamin D3 may also be helpful, and Balch says it promotes healing and tissue repair. Vitamin D also works synergistically with vitamin A and may enhance its effects. Balch recommends at least 400 IU daily of vitamin D. Alternatively, you can take a cod liver oil supplement because cod liver oil supplies both vitamin A and D as well as healthy omega-3 essential fatty acids.
B Vitamins
B vitamin deficiencies are sometimes associated with acne, and Balch says that the B vitamins are important for skin health and tone. Balch recommends taking a B100 complex three times daily. B100 is a supplement that contains 100mg of all of the major B vitamins. B6 may be particularly beneficial if you suffer from menstrual-related acne because it prevents the uptake of, and sensitivity to, testosterone, says Trattler, who suggests taking 50 to 250mg of B6 twice daily if you suffer from hormonal acne.
Vitamins C and E
Vitamin C, an antioxidant, may also be beneficial, and Balch says it helps to support your immune system and reduce inflammation. It is also needed for collagen repair in the skin tissue, says Balch. She recommends taking 1,000 to 1,600mg of buffered vitamin C daily. Vitamin E is another antioxidant; it is thought to enhance tissue healing and repair. Balch suggests taking 400 IU daily of vitamin C and choosing a supplement that contains the d-alpha-tocopherol form for maximum absorption.

Changing the Server Name or IP Address
KB Home | Changing the Server Name or IP Address
Changing the name (hostname) or the IP address of a server is generally considered a high impact task and should be treated with some care (much more so than changing the IP of a workstation). Clients/workstations software (e.g. the PaperCut User Client) locate and communicate with the server by using a hostname and/or IP address stored in a configuration file. For correct operation, any hostname/IP address change should also be propagated to the following files:
Please see the example below:
config.propertiesfile located in the client directory (client connection information stored in the same directory as the client executable):On Server:
[app-path]/client/mac/PCClient.app (control-click, Show Package Contents) Contents/Resources/config.propertiesOn Locally Installed Clients:
connection.propertiesfile located in the release directory (release station connection information):On Server:
[app-path]/release/connection.propertiesOn Locally Installed Stations:
- The print provider config file located at:
[app-path]/providers/print/win/print-provider.conf(Note: On windows, the print provider service must be restarted after changing this file)
- The print provider config file located on any secondary server or future installed secondary server.
- If running PaperCut MF you may also need to reconfigure the MFDs to point to the new server address.
- If the hostname is being changed and you would like to keep the same printer entries in PaperCut afterwards (i.e. to preserve settings and print history), then the printers in PaperCut must be renamed. See the article How to Rename a Printer for more details.
Also consider:
- The impact renaming the server may have on shared printers, or shared file paths.
- The URLs used to access the PaperCut server for remote administration may need to change - inform other administrators.
- Always take time to test the system in full after making the changes. You may find the PaperCut Post Upgrade Test Plan useful.

Ah well, it looks like it wasn't meant to be.
So I started working towards custom code to eliminate the proper nouns manually, something which would be handy in the future anyway. The first step was to identify some candidates for further inspection, and seeing as I'm working with English, that's pretty easy: if it's not all in lower case, there's something funny about it. I wrote the code to identify all the tokens (words) that contained capitals. Yes, at this point I could have checked whether it was the start of the sentence or not, but that wouldn't have really helped, because proper nouns occur at the start of sentences too, so i'd still need to check.
When I generated my set of candidates, though, it was a little long. For The 39 Steps, I was looking at 919 tokens to check manually, and that's a fairly short book. As I'm doing this for fun, it seemed like checking that many would be a little bit boring, particularly in longer books. (I later checked the candidate set for the 3 books in total, and it turned out to be over 3000 words, which is more than my time's worth.)
My first quick test then was to have a look at the difference in figures. Eliminating every single item with any capitals in it drops the type:token ratio in The 39 Steps from 14.48% to 13.14% -- that's almost a a 10% drop (it's 1.35 percentage points, but it's 9.27 percent). Before properly addressing the proper nouns, I wanted to see how big a difference this crude adjustment makes to the figures. It seemed just a little too high to realistically be led by proper nouns alone. But can that be? I mean, how many words are likely to occur only at the start of sentences?
So on I went, hoping that the data I could generate at this stage would start to shed some light on this figure.
The first graph I produced showed me the running type:token ratios and introduction rates for both the full token set, and the token set with non-lowercase words eliminated:
another time). Here's the same graphs, but with 2000 word samples instead of 500 word samples:
Books as a series
But I had all the infrastructure in place now, so I figured I might as well rerun the analysis on the 3 books as a single body and see what came out. Let's just go straight to the relative difference between the lines for all words and eliminating all words not entirely in lower case:
Bingo: we've got decent support for Thrissel's suggestion that a lot of proper nouns are introduced early on in... at least some novels.
Not the sort of information I was originally looking for, but actually quite interesting. It's kind of turning the project in a slightly different direction than I had planned. I'll just have to go with the flow.
What I did wrong today
One of the minor irritations of the day was when I started writing up my results, and after having done the coding, data generation and analysis, I realised a fairly simple refinement I could have made. It was a real *palmface* moment: I could have simply taken my first list of candidate proper nouns and eliminated any candidates that also appeared completely in lower case. Having done that, I would have been left with a much shorter list of candidates, and it may well have been worth my time manually checking the results.
But of course, that's as much the point of the exercise as anything: to work through the process and the problems and to start thinking about what can be done better.
It also occurs to me now that I also managed to eliminate every single occurrence of the word I from the books! Quite a fundamental error, even if it only made a minute difference to the final ratios.
Perhaps I'm being a little too "hacky" in all this. I'll have to pick up my game a bit soon....

Hi everyone this is one of my Oak House Studio DT samples made with products which will be featured on Hochanda TV. The shows at 3pm and 6pm today.
Details of how this card was made and the fabulous products I used are listed below.
Blue and brown are one of my favourite combinations, pure colour chemistry inks in waterfall and brazil nut were used on this card to make the background. I cut my card to size before spraying, as I wanted a mottled effect of the two colours I sprayed in short burst first with brazil nut then waterfall. I let the card dry and added a few more sprays of waterfall so the blue wasn't overtaken by the brown. A smaller piece of card was sprayed with waterfall and wiped over with kitchen paper to give a smooth colour, this was used to back the stamped image.
Spraying can be messy and to reduce the risk of covering everything in site with ink I use a cardboard box, one I had some craft stash delivered in which is now very colourful inside. The box sides and the open lid help keep the ink within the box when spraying.
Inking finished I stamped the maple leaf from the new stamp set Lynnda's Leaves using the triple sky blues pigment ink pad. The stamped image was attached to the blue inked card and fixed to the inky background with 3D sticky pads. A string was wrapped round the inky background and fastened behind with tape then a button and sentiment were added. The panel was attached to a brown card again using 3D sticky pads.
A simple card but so effective with the lovely inky background. Don't forget to add a comment to any or all blog posts on the Oak House Studio blog this week for the chance to win Lynnda's £100 goody bag, this card was showcased yesterday so pop over and leave a comment you could be the lucky winner!

Dental Veneers and Dental Laminates New Port Richey, FL
Dental Veneers
Dr. Mostafa is an expert veneers dentist and provides dental veneers so that patients can restore damaged teeth or transform their smile into something beautiful. At American Family & Cosmetic Dentistry we often treat patients that have a variety of dental concerns. Some patients visit our New Port Richey office because their tooth has been broken while others are looking to create a Hollywood smile. Most people are candidates for the procedure as long as their tooth structure and roots are in place. If, however, you have a cavity or gum disease this will need to be treated before the procedure is completed.
If you want to learn more about dental veneers, we recommend that you call 727-376-9696 to schedule an appointment. We are known throughout Florida as a trusted provider of veneers and can let you know if they will help you to achieve the goals that you have for your smile.
What is a Dental Veneer?
A veneer is a thin shell that is made out of porcelain or ceramic. The shade of the veneer, along with its shape and size will be made to match your surrounding teeth so that it blends in perfectly.
How is a Dental Veneer Used?
We can accomplish a variety of things using dental veneers. By placing them on top of the teeth, we can close gaps, make teeth even in length, cover dark stains and create a uniform looking smile. In this way, veneers can create a smile that rivals the most famous Hollywood stars. In fact, many of them have had this procedure to create the smile you see today. The nice thing is that you don't have to be famous to improve your smile. You simply need to call 727-376-9696 and schedule an appointment to see Dr. Mostafa.
New Port Richey, Florida Dental Veneers
We also use dental veneers for restorations. When teeth become cracked, chipped or broken, a veneer can be used to restore the tooth to its full functionality. As long as the tooth structure is intact, it is an excellent way to restore the appearance of a tooth while making it possible to eat and speak without feeling any discomfort.

The Procedure
When patients visit our American Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offices, we will take an impression of their teeth so that the dental veneers can be created in a lab. They will be made to match the size, shape, and color of your teeth so this can take a week or more.
In order to have dental veneers placed, Dr. Mostafa will first prepare your tooth by removing a portion of the enamel. This is necessary so that the veneer will lay flat and in line with your gum tissue. After the tooth has been prepared, a temporary veneer will be secured using removable glue. While wearing a temporary veneer, it is important to brush your teeth gently and avoid eating any foods that could push it out of place. Since it is secured by removable glue, it can be moved fairly easily.
When your permanent veneers are ready, you will come back into our American Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offices so that Dr. Mostafa can remove the temporary and ensure that the new veneer is a perfect fit. It is typically attached using a water based solution to see how it looks. If any adjustments need to be made, it will be done at this time. Otherwise, the tooth will be cleaned, and the dental veneer will be bonded to the tooth. Patients throughout Florida love how the results look. They are instant, and you can start flashing your smile right away.
After the Procedure
Your teeth will typically be sore for a few days after they have been prepared and after the permanent veneers are placed. During this time, you can take pain medication to help you stay comfortable. Patients throughout the 34655 area also benefit from getting rest and using a cold compress to reduce any swelling. Dr. Mostafa recommend that patients watch what they eat for a few days and stick with foods that are soft. While there is a short recovery time when getting dental veneers, the procedure is entirely worth it because in the end you will have a beautiful smile.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Patients throughout the New Port Richey, FL area love how veneers make their teeth look. This procedure is an excellent solution, because veneers can be used to transform your smile into one that looks perfect and beautiful. It does so, while still using your natural teeth, so there is no need for surgery, and the recovery time is reduced. Since the veneers are made to match your other teeth, they will look natural, and no one will be able to tell that you had any cosmetic dentistry work completed. Another benefit is that they are made out of a stain resistant material. This means that your teeth will stay whiter and brighter, even if your favorite beverage is a hot cup of coffee. Dr. Mostafa is an expert veneers dentist and can use them to transform your smile.
New Port Richey, Florida Dental Laminates
The Downside
As with most cosmetic procedures, there can be some discomfort associated with getting dental veneers installed. This is to be expected, however, we do our best to keep patients completely comfortable during the procedure so that you will not experience any pain while the veneers are being placed or your teeth are being prepared. The process can take several weeks so there will be a period where you need to be careful about what you eat and what activities you engage in. In other words, don't play football after getting temporary veneers placed onto your teeth. You should schedule the procedure for a time where you will be close to home and able to take easy.
At American Family & Cosmetic Dentistry we understand that your insurance company may or may not pay for dental veneers. We will work with you and your insurance company to ensure that you receive the dental care that you need, regardless of how much they are willing to pay. We offer a variety of financing solutions for those that are uninsured, as well. By creating a payment plan, we make getting dental veneers affordable.

Jean Kester P.O. Box 1251 Rochester, WA 98579
Many of you want to know what size to send and unless there is a specific request for twin, full, queen, infant, I am always saying larger than lap sized so this may help a bit:
Baby or infant around 36" x 36" can be as large as 40" x 40"
- Adult sized Between 48" & 55" wide to 60" & 72" long. Remember some adults are over 6' tall.
Fabrics can be anything that can be machine washable, is very durable and will stand the test of time forever! The backs can be cotton, flannel, fleece or a combination and they can be one piece or pieced. Just no itchy scratchy fabrics such as wool, burlap, no thin fabrics like sateen's or heavily laced fabrics. **I do ask if you have pets or are a smoker that you wash it with a Color Catcher prior to sending it out for the sake of health reasons.**
Batting? Use what you like! I like low loft batting by Warm Company but I will use a polyester high loft as well. It is your preference and if you send me a quilt, I am not picky. I even like the Bamboo batting though it is a bit on the expensive side!
Patterns? Wow! The sky is the limit here, make what you are comfortable making. Strips, squares, rectangles, fancy, plain, I am not limiting anyone's creativity however, if you are making a quilt with a male fabric, do not add a fabric with flowers or frills and likewise if it is a fabric for a female in mind, don't add trucks, cars or other male fabrics unless we have a request for those.
Quilting - You can hand tie it, hand quilt it, FMQ, long arm quilt, what works for you to get the quilt completed is great. I do hand tie larger heavier quilts because I do not have a long arm.
Labels - Some of you don't label but if you are sending a quilt out directly to a recipient I would like you to label it with the minimum of the date it was made and Layers of Hope - Quilting 911 on it.
More preferable would be:
- Date
- To - Name of recipient
- Who pieced it i.e. Bo Peep WI
- Who did the quilting i.e. Mary Lamb NY**if this is one and the same put quilted by your name and state. I usually put collaboration quilt by: piecer and quilter**
- Add Layers of Hope - Quilting 911 on the label or 911 Cares in WI but please note this organization
Please DO NOT include any advertising for your business, religious pamphlets, political advertising, etc. as that is not appropriate for the receiver. While I operate this by faith, my believes may not be the same as yours so while we can pray over the quilts as we make them, send them our wishes and prayers, lets not send them our opinions!
I include a hand written card with each quilt and a short note and end it with 911 Cares in (your city and state).
Please send me a picture of the quilt when it is completely done and when it is going into the box so I can post it onto our Facebook page and Pinterest page.
It must be sent with a tracking # and the number forwarded to me as we have had several incidents where packages were returned to sender after arriving at their destination and I need to contact the recipient when this happens. **Sending it to me does NOT require a tracking number.**
After having one of my packages leave Toronto 12/11 heading for my home in Washington and going to Chicago for routing, then wind up in Miami and go out for actual delivery in Miami when it was clearly marked for Washington and take 23 days to finally arrive, placing tracking on it ensures we have a story if it goes back or the recipient never receives it.
Can you send other things? Of course you can, do what your heart leads. A card of encouragement for one going through illness or loss, a small care package for a flood or disaster victim and perhaps candy, snacks or coloring books and crayons for the dispatch center that is going through a tragedy!
Be creative, have fun and make them forget their pain for just a little while!
Can't quilt? I accept fabric, thread, batting and of course cash or even gift cards that can be used to pay for postage which is our second largest cost and you can adopt a quilt which means you would agree to pay for the fabric, batting, thread, quilting and postage. If you adopt a quilt you agree to send a check in the amount you feel it cost to make plus postage. (ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE, I CANNOT DO THIS DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS)
Questions? Email me, I will answer all questions!

Mistakes About Space Stealth and Revamping Lasers
However, in the years since, people have pointed out the problems with that, and with a great deal of reading on my part for how sensors and such would work in space, I now have to admit I was wrong about that. The hunt for asteroids has taken place only in a limited spectrum (visible light) so far, and doesn't take into account multiple-spectrum IR detectors and more. Life support, various ship systems, and engines create waste heat that can at best be masked for only a short time, more than likely not long enough to mount any kind of successful attack.
Given "realistic" projections for future space technology (on the OV scale, that would be up through Tech Level 15), stealth for manned ships is not very likely and for unmanned attack craft difficult at best. Like most things about future technology, I don't want to say its flat-out impossible, because too many dismissals of 'impossible' things have been proven wrong. I still think its probably doable in certain specialized circumstances, and some unforeseen innovation (like metamaterials, which looks like it may lead to a real life 'invisibility' cloak) may throw a monkey wrench into it all.
But otherwise, I was wrong. Oh well. Sorry about that. At least I got paid $100 for the original article way back when, so I think my pride will survive.
So anyway, I'm taking down "Hunters In The Great Dark" from the Essay section for a possible major rewrite at some future time. I'm also going to take down the "Laser Firearms" article in the "Firearms" section. The article is still accurate as far as it goes, but it was one of the first articles I did in for OV back in 2003. There have been a number of developments and rethinking about laser weapons since then, and I should rewrite the article to reflect all that.

"I still think its probably doable in certain specialized circumstances, and some unforeseen innovation (like metamaterials, which looks like it may lead to a real life 'invisibility' cloak) may throw a monkey wrench into it all."
I doubt that metamaterials would be the answer, as there would still be the issue of waste heat - if you don't radiate it away at some point (thus giving away your position), something important is going to melt, and any biological crew would get cooked.
Were I to try and design a "stealth" spaceship, it would be an Autonomous Kill Vehicle that would be launched "cold" using springs, compressed gas or a (relatively) low-powered coilgun. The AKV would coast along on momentum alone (with perhaps minor course adjustments provided by gas tanks or low-profile ion drives), using passive sensors only. The AKV could be equipped with more powerful drives/thrusters and active scanners that are only fired up when it is "triggered" to attack.
I'm not a rocket scientist, so there are probably some flaws in my idea. My suspicion is that any kind of "stealth" in space would be entirely provisional based on how sophisticated the enemy sensors/scanners are and how much coverage of sufficient sensitivity they can use to detect you.

Your AKV concept is pretty much along the lines of what I was envisioning as far as "certain specialized circumstances." I mentioned metamaterials only to illustrate that real life will always throw "curveball" advances at us whose ultimate impact we can't easily predict.
Waste heat could be addressed in limited ways by using heat sinks and selective directional radiative methods. However, given the presumed travel times even within the inner solar system using 'realistic' projected technology (up through Tech Level 15 on the OV scale) these probably wouldn't work long enough to be effective.
The only modification I'd make to your AKV scheme would be to sculpt its outer shell with asteroidal material, so it will apear as a natural space rock even if it is spotted.
And don't worry, I'm not a rocket scientist either, but as far as I can tell your thinking is very sound
- June 2, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Actually, there is an even more simple reason why stealth is such a difficult notion for a futuristic and intergalactic civilization.
Look at it this way: Once, a major threat of seaborn ships back in the 14th century, were dangerous and almost invisible shoals which would destroy a boat's hull from mere inches underwater. It was to the point where they would map out these shoals in well-traveled waters, good Captains would memorize their locations on routes they took so as to avoid them.
In modern day, we have Sonar Mapping which can detect any potentially hazardous rock formation long before running into it.
You see, if you cannot find an asteroid many times the size of a starship, then you are going to end up destroyed by it. Thus, it makes sense that they would have sufficiently sophisticated sensor equipment to be able to detect possible threats, such as hostile ships.
In fact, it is vastly easier to detect a ship than an asteroid. After all, the ship will almost certainly be emitting something. A ship with Radar emits radio pulses at given frequencies which can be picked up by passive sensors and tracked back to point of origin. Propulsion emissions is another thing which is generally considered to be much easier to detect.
For you to have a true 'stealth' vessel, you would have to have the following:
1) special materials to deflect or re-direct 'modern' sensor equipment. Much like the B2 Stealth Bomber currently employed by the American Air Force, which diffuses it's RADAR signal to the point where its radar signature is nothing bigger than a bird.
2) Some form of insulation which keeps excess heat from life support and other systems produce from being visible. This actually isn't going to be too hard, and is going to be a logical extention of making ships more economical. Waste heat, that is to say, heat that escapes the living quarters, is a problem, because you have to constantly renew it. So, in order to relieve stress on the life support systems, better insulation which prevents heat from escaping will be practically inevitable. And because heat doesn't escape, it cannot be picked up.
3) Engine 'bafflers' which mask the engine emissions. This will be one of the hardest. The easiest way would be to come in 'ballistic', shutting down propulsion systems outside target's sensor range. However, this means you are unable to alter your trajectory. If your target changes its vector, you may end up missing them, and faced with the choice of either calling the run off or alerting your target to your presence by altering your vector to match.
Manned or Unmanned, it doesn't matter. Life Support will end up being a non-issue through application of economics. It will be finding ways to foil sensors and hiding your trail that will provide the real challenges in a 'stealthed' attack craft.

For the consideration of stealthed space vehicles, one needs to take into consideration the high likelihood of a technology asymmetry. For instance, the U.S. vs. the Chinese. Chinese sensors are inferior to the Americans. In this situation the term, "stealthed enough" applies. Waste heat is unlikely to be a part of the electromagnetic spectrum a Chinese opponent would be looking for. A number of factors need to be considered when monitoring an IR source. The sensitivity of the sensors would be insufficient. Positive visual identification is problematic at best for any nation other than the U.S., given the degrees of arc that need to be scanned in a certain, finite amount of time required. One could park a space battleship in geostationary orbit over Indonesia, to deny the Chinese launch capability.
Given a similarity of tech levels, even large quantities of waste heat can be shed, so long as a ship were to focus the vector of excess thermal energy directly away from a single source sensor. In this scenario, the larger the ship, the easier it is to hide waste heat. Another alternative is to place a bright IR source at your "back", to mask your own signature. This tried and true method is feasible across a wide section of the EM spectrum.

Scarlet Fever
What is Scarlet Fever?
• Scarlet fever is a disease caused by an infection with Group A streptococcal bacteria. Not everyone affected with Group A streptococcal bacteria will develop scarlet fever. Some people less sensitive to Group A streptococcal bacteria than others.
• Symptoms of Scarlet Fever
• The most common symptom of scarlet fever is the appearance of a skin rash in a child who has an infection caused by Group A streptococci bacteria. The infection is usually a strep throat infection. In rare cases, the infection may be an impetigo infection.
• Other symptoms include a reddened sore throat, red tonsils, a fever higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit, chills, body aches, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and swollen glands in the neck.
• Scarlet Fever Rash
• The rash of scarlet fever usually begins like a bad sunburn with tiny bumps. The rash often itches. The rash usually appears first on the neck and face, often leaving a clear unaffected area around the mouth. The rash spreads to the chest and back, then to the rest of the body. Areas of the skin affected by the rash usually turn white when you press on them. The rash usually fades by the sixth day. After the sixth day, the affected skin may begin to peel.
• How is Scarlet Fever Transmitted?
• Group A streptococcal infections that cause scarlet fever are very contagious. Strep bacteria can be passed through contact with the nasal or throat fluids of someone with a strep throat infection. Strep bacteria can also be transmitted by touching the infected skin of someone who has strep impetigo, or by sharing towels, clothing or bed linen.
• Treatment Options for Scarlet Fever
• Scarlet Fever can be treated. Your doctor will prescribe medicines to help the symptoms of Scarlet Fever. The most common medicines prescribed are: antibiotics, skin ointment for the rash, and a fever reducer.

Mind of the Athlete® Academy
Through the Mind of the Athlete® Academy, Dr. Jarrod Spencer will come to your school three times each year for four years to deliver educational sports psychology speeches to athletes and coaches. Each season Dr. Spencer will speak to the student-athletes and coaches, host a meeting with the Athletic Director, host a meeting with the Principal, and facilitate a round table question and answer session for the coaches. Athletic departments can tailor the logistics of these campus visits. Along with these twelve visits over the four years, your school will begin utilizing the Mind of the Athlete Program which consists of 10+ hours of video, audio, and worksheet resources. The fee for rolling out the Mind of the Athlete Academy at your school is $31,000 (plus travel expenses).
The Mind of the Athlete® Academy Speaking Curriculum
First Year:
Mind of the Athlete®: The key to better performance in athletics and academics is having a clearer mind. This program explains a model of how the mind works. It also provides a five-step process to gaining a clearer mind.
Sleep: The #1 factor in performance is sleep. Drawing upon a wealth of research in medicine, psychology, and sports, this program explains the psychology of sleep. Athletes learn practical skills to improve the quality of sleep.
The 5 Hurdles: Athletes often underperform due to Anxiety, Insomnia, Low Energy Levels, Misguided Tensions, and/or Loneliness. This program teaches athletes how to avoid being tripped up by these 5 hurdles, as well as how to rise again.
Second Year:
Performance Anxiety: Managing nervousness before any competition is essential for optimal performance. This program explains the physiology of performance anxiety and teaches psychological skills to modulate the fight-or-flight response.
Leadership: A hallmark trait of leadership is how a leader interacts with those around him/her. This speech unpacks the Leadership Legacy Principle: it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. It teaches 7 best practice skills that effective leaders utilize to convey humility, convern for others and assertive communication.
Emotional Energy Management: Performance is directly linked to the amount of emotional energy we have. This program teaches us ways to conserve energy, restore our energy, and optimize our energy for better performance.
Third Year:
Communication: Good communication skills are the foundation of effective interpersonal success. Where technology has de-emphasized face-to-face communication, this program helps teammates to develop solid one-on-one verbal skills.
Positive Thinking: The hallmark of resiliency in sports is the ability to think positively while under stress. We will develop this skill by identifying individual negative thinking patterns and cultivating mantras for individuals and teams.
Healthier Relationships: Interpersonal tensions can often be a significant stress for athletes and even hinder performance. This program educates athletes on both warning signs of unhealthy relationships and ways to cultivate healthier ones.
Fourth Year:
Better Choices: Underlying higher risk behaviors (substance abuse, hazing, and acts of aggression) are often moments of poor judgment. This program fosters ways to improve decision-making by understanding how the mind works best.
Teamwork: The ability to work well together toward a common goal is the essence of teamwork. This program examines psychological aspects of winning teams. Each team will develop their lists of their Vision, Values, and Variables.
Confidence: Confidence is a byproduct of positive experiences. This program fosters individual confidence by teaching athletes how to mentally reframe their performance through a more positive analysis.

Faith FM 98.9
Rock of Jesus Ministry, pastored by Bishop Bryant Cox, and located in Five Cays Providenciales, officially commissioned its radio station – 98.9 Faith FM, on Sunday, April 27 2006 – and has already been regarded by many listeners as one of the most soothing gospel stations in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
The station, according to its operators, promises to host wholesome programmes, and will serve as a real religious experience for listeners of all groups, especially those seeking a peaceful and inspiring break from the 'violence, scandals and unhappiness generally associated with today's media'. According to Bishop Cox, 98.9 Faith FM is fully digital and was built on the cutting edge of technology, adding that the station is geared to give listeners the clearest of frequencies in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
In giving an overview of the station, member of the Rock of Jesus Ministry, Heather Robertson, said during the testing period, 98.9 FAITH FM could be heard on Providenciales, Parrot Cay, North Caicos, Middle Caicos and Salt Cay. She said it is the ministry's intention to upgrade the station's frequency to the point that it covers not only South Caicos and the country's capital Grand Turk, but also the wider Caribbean and parts of the United States . Meanwhile, Bishop Cox said it was a challenge to set-up the digital radio station after the necessary equipment arrived in the Turks and Caicos Islands, but Cable and Wireless engineer Audley Gibbs assisted in making sure that it was skillfully set up and commissioned into service.
"When we were in the process of setting up this state-of-the-art radio station, we ran into some very difficult days, and I said to my wife, 'God may not want us to have this radio station, because it was giving us so much problems,' and we had spent all this money to set it up. "Some days we had a lot of problems, one time the station was down for more than a week, and that was the most miserable week this year thus far, because there was not anybody I could pick off the streets to assist me with this. So I had to turn to the only expert (Audley Gibbs) in the Turks and Caicos Islands for assistance," Bishop Cox said. Bishop Cox noted, too, that he received tremendous support from Peter and Kay Stubbs, who offered him a great deal of advice, noting that at no time did the persons who assisted him in setting up the station request any money, since they believed in his vision. He said 98.9 FAITH FM, which first went on the air in December of last year, underwent a five-month testing, since they wanted to ensure that its frequencies were clear and were giving the desired results.
Bishop Cox praised the church members for sacrificing everything in playing their part to ensure that the radio becomes a success. He noted that during the short term, based on its current operation, it is projected that 98.9 FAITH FM will require $30,000 per year to stay in operation.
