text: I am very tired tonight and my mind is rather pleasantly empty. When I thought about what to write- my commitment to shipping something every day- this beautiful kirtan by Jai Uttal came into my mind. It was a very lovely evening in Miami about four years ago, at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, without a doubt one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been in. The scene, with the lights changing from reds to blues to purples, the angels behind them, the ethereal painting on the ceiling and the sweet beautiful music, was something out of this world.

Last Tuesday, the Supreme Court listened to oral arguments in the case of Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, which will determine if a for-profit company can deny its employees health coverage of contraception based on the religious objections of the company owner. The case represents the latest controversy in the health reform/reproductive justice/religious liberty debate—just how that debate is defined is often an indicator of where one stands.
My story
I grew up in a devout Catholic household in Brooklyn, NY. As a child, I learned early that many of my friends and neighbors did not share my family's beliefs—the gift and consequence of growing up in one of the most diverse cities in the world. Nevertheless, we recognized that we all enjoyed the same protections to believe and not believe, to practice and not practice a given faith. It is this principle that has most clearly defined my views today, but one that Hobby Lobby appears to question. The store owners and supporters suggest that their religious freedom should trump that of their employees. The court's definition of this freedom will impact the rights of women across the country to make this choice for themselves.
I decided months ago that I needed to be present for this historic case, but I knew making this a reality would be no easy feat. The Supreme Court contains roughly 400 seats for viewers; of these, many go to friends and colleagues of the justices, groups that have assisted in the counsel of the two legal teams, and the press. The limited numbers of leftover seats are made available to the public. In the days leading up to hearing, forecasts predicted snow, slated to start right in the middle of the night. I enlisted one crazy friend still willing to take a chance to witness history.
As the day finally arrived, we drove from Baltimore to DC, armed with blankets, snacks, and a few vain hours of sleep. Joining the line shortly after 3am we were giddy with the anticipation of the hours ahead. Students of all ages—high school, college, and law school—surrounded us on the street, all attracted to the line by a common spirit. We embodied the hopeful, bushy-tailed energy of the nation's capital, where policy and society collide in the democratic process. We've lived in a time when contraception is legal and not just accepted by our peers, but considered a right. We're also living in a time where companies have unprecedented power and speech. We knew the collision of these individual and corporate rights may well decide the next period of our lives.
Around 6 am, we were told to pack up and prepare for the first groups to start entering the building. (In reality, the very front of the line would not go in until 7:30am, while others, myself included, waited two more hours to snatch up the last few public seats.) At this point, the protestors started to gather. As we anxiously waited to learn our viewing fate, we watched the physical demonstration of colliding principles. Each side fought to be the loudest, the biggest, and the least able to ignore. Advocates all had their own story of why they came, what they believe, and the result they seek.
After hours of camping, standing, and snow, we were among the final public viewers to make it in the courtroom. The 90 minutes of testimony were among some of the most exhilarating minutes two health policy students/reproductive rights advocates could ask for. There are ample sources across the internet where one might read about the arguments considered, so I will not analyze these here. (A decision is expected in June.) What I do think is worth mentioning is just what that courtroom represented—nine highly esteemed justices, serving life tenures, spent 90 minutes asking questions regarding legal standards and the health and economic costs of these decisions. Hundreds of reporters and legal experts listened for those justices' tones, signs of opinion, and precedence. Students and other lay public marveled at the judicial process, and the chance to experience history. But outside that courtroom, hundreds of activists withstood snow and opposition to openly declare their principles. They wore shirts and raised signs like scarlet letters, a symbol of solidarity to the views and people they represent.
Beyond that courtroom or the surrounding streets, there are millions of women who stand to feel the impact of this decision. No matter how you define the debate, the answer is monumental for the individual rights to healthcare, religion, and freedom of choice for all Americans. My Hobby Lobby story is just one of the millions that remain to be told.

Luo Changping microblogging in response to the complaint was Baidu, saying "Baidu this public relations issued several attacks on the text, has caused damage to my reputation, I will take legal measures to safeguard their rights. "Luo Changping said Baidu has neither the heart and the outside world to criticize, nor does it intend to correct any bad behavior. A network oligarch without values will only get lost in business pressure.
Luo Changping said he would voluntarily be a Baidu supervisor, admission, collection, verification, exposure and all the bad behavior related to Baidu, and welcomes all parties to provide clues.
Today, Sina Technology learned from Baidu, Baidu Beijing Haidian District People's Court has filed a lawsuit against infringement of reputation as an excuse to be previously released through Weibo "Baidu set up" and "five months of the end of the year award Luo Changping, a former financial media man from other sources of information, went to court and demanded that it immediately delete relevant infringing information, publicly apologize and compensate for a total loss of 5 million yuan.
The dispute stems from January 23, 2018. Sina microblogging certification large "Luo Changping" broke the news through the microblogging release, said Baidu for public relations measures to combat today's headlines, the establishment of the content of eco-marketing department and "starting to do". And distribution of WeChat chat screenshots, content that is about the "head office hit today" responsibility and content of work, aroused widespread concern users and the media. Immediately after the headlines today accused Baidu of "black public relations" and on January 29 to "unfair competition" on the grounds Baidu will be brought to court.
Subsequently, Baidu denied that, in response to "do the first thing" does not exist, "the content of the ecological marketing department responsible for" Baidu App "business, who's head do not fight! & rdquo; and Baidu public relations official micro-signal on the two long article issued on the headlines today counter-attack.
The following is the full text of Luo Changping microblogging:
Because I was the first to disclose in Baidu, Baidu, "Baoding" gray operation, recently, Baidu this issue of public relations issued several attacks on the text, has caused damage to my reputation, I will take legal measures to safeguard their rights. Baidu is neither willing to accept external criticism, nor does it intend to correct bad behavior. An oligarch without a network of values will only get lost in business pressure. I assumed my responsibility to supervise the public power, but once the capital and technology are in their favor, it is easy to contaminate the public power. Today I volunteered to be a Baidu supervisor, admission, collection, verification, exposure and all the bad behavior related to Baidu, welcome to provide clues for teachers.
Baidu PR microblogging questioned Luo Changping: Screenshot where to come? What is the relationship between headlines?
On the evening of February 5, Baidu "started the event" continued to ferment. Baidu and Luo Changping respond to each other after a round trip. Baidu PR microblogging "This session of Baidu PR" issued a document questioned Luo Changping "starting to do" and "five-month year-end awards" screenshots come from? As a blue media investors, and today's headline is there any relationship?
Baidu said this afternoon it will prosecute Luo Changping, and claims 5000000 after. Luo Changping microblogging microblogging responded that "Baidu this public relations issued a number of attacks on the paper, has caused harm to my reputation, I will take legal measures to safeguard their rights." & rdquo;
The following is "This Baidu PR" microblogging original:
Wait a dozen days, Mr. Luo Changping finally spoke. This ten days, this session of Baidu PR has been looking for only two issues explained by Mr. Luo: 1, the so-called Baidu has "to start with" and "five-month-end bonus" screenshots come from? As a former media people verify the authenticity? 2, you as a blue media investor, can you really explain today's headlines and blue media relations? Wait for answer.

Restaurant Operation Trends
Like fashion, restaurant operations have trends and fads that ebb and flow with time- recall the roller-skating waitresses at drive-in diners during the 1950s or the servers sporting excessive flair and suspenders during the early 2000s. Some restaurant trends never go out of style - like saving customers money, food safety. Other trends are newer, including local foods and social media - both of which aren't likely to disappear any time soon.
Offering Discounts and Coupons
Recession or no recession, customers love a bargain. Even though the economy is slowly rebounding, consumers will probably never be as free with their money as they were in the past twenty-five years. People will still continue to expect maximum bang for their buck. In the What's Hot in 2011 survey from the National Restaurant Association (NRA), 38% of chef's surveyed cited offering value specials as the most successful strategy for maintaining and building business during the recession- this included coupons and prix fixe menus.
Social Media for Restaurants
If your restaurant isn't on Facebook or Twitter, you may want to sign up. Social-media based marketing for restaurants continues to grow and evolve. More and more people turn to the internet for information about where to eat. Google your restaurant. What comes up? Along with the name, address and phone number, there are oodles of sites dedicated to customer reviews for restaurants. Familiarize yourself with your restaurant's online profile and start building a marketing campaign to enhance it. Social marketing sites like Facebook or Twitter allow you to promote specials and events and reach your local audience all for free!
Restaurant Food Truck Businesses
The number one hottest operational trend for 2015, according to the NRA, is mobile food trucks and pop-up restaurants. A food truck business offers low start-up costs over a brick and mortar restaurant, ideal for someone looking to open their own restaurant. Or, if you already own an existing restaurant, a food truck is another way to reach customers.
Sustainability and Local Foods
Buying local and growing your own foods peppered the top ten trends of What's Hot in 2011. Consumers are increasingly aware of where their food is coming from and featuring local foods on your menu is a great way to capitalize on the current trend as well as help out your local farmers. Many restaurants are going beyond buying local to growing their own. Restaurants with gardens (on the rooftop, communal, etc…) were cited by 18% of chefs as the hottest operational trend in 2011. Even if you don't have the space or inclination to grow your own vegetables, there are plenty of farmers who would do.
Public Health Concerns
Now more than ever, restaurants are being pressured to create healthier meals with smaller portions. Americans are overweight and plagued by chronic disease such as diabetes. In response to public demand, many restaurants now offer smaller portion sizes and healthier food options on their regular menu. Children's menus, too, are getting a healthy make-over.

Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr S. Babayeva / A shortage in grain is not expected in Azerbaijan in 2007, Azerbaijani Agriculture Minister Ismat Abbasov reported on 13 June.
According to the Minister, grain production in 2007 has been forecasted at 2mln t, import of grain at 500,000t.
"Taking into consideration that the grain terminal has a capacity of 500,000t operating in Azerbaijan, the forecasts of a shortage are ruled out," Abbasov said.
In 2006, grain production in Azerbaijan made up 2.7mln t with the demand of 3mln tons. The gap in supply and demand was covered through imports.

Public Cum-Walk! Cheeky public Cheat-Fuck
Running time: 6:49 Minutes
Today I was in the swimming hall and was about to change clothes when suddenly a guy came into my changing room. I took the wrong door and expected his wifem which was in the changing room next to mine. But when he was already there I used the opportunity brazenly. The sight of me he seems to like and when I grabbed for his cock he got a boner. Si I went down in fromt of him, pulled down his pants and started to blow his dick, while his wife was waiting for him next door. After that I took off my monokini and held out my bare cunt. Nice and deep he shoved his dick in my pussy from behind and it was really hard to be quiet. Then I rode on his hard dick and my wet pussy was smacking loudly because of my pure horniness. Again he fucked me deep in doggystyle and I cam intensive to orgasm. I took his cock and sucked it again until I let him shoot all in my Face. With a mega fat load he covered my whole face. When he was gone, I walked naked with the cum face through the aisles where I could have been seen from someone at anytime.

October 2, 2012By Anomaly
All night long, across Drudge Report's front page, the words, "THE ACCENT… THE ANGER… THE ACCUSATIONS… THE SERMON…" were displayed in bold. A revealing glimpse into the racist side of President Obama was promised — which apparently, according to the video at Daily Caller, doesn't exist — unless you consider their Breitbarted tape.
This has all happened before with Andrew Breitbart and the results were also a yawner. But, Obama's speech was eloquent Right now Sean Hannity is lambasting Obama and the left wing media for ignoring this speech. The transcript has been on the Atlantic since 2007.
And as expected, while accusing the President of racist talk, the hosts on Fox…pretty much acted in a racist manner, demeaning Obama's accent for not being white enough.
The breaking news: Obama gave a decent shout out to Rev. Wright.

Ballin' is a habit
Over the last 20 or so years, SUVs have evolved from their rugged roots and proliferated across the automotive market. Compared to other body types, consumers seem to prefer SUVs' increased cargo space and high driving position, plus whatever off-road pretenses they have. Still, some people enjoy the style and driving experience of lower-riding coupes or sedans. But when the goal is comfort, space, and the projection of image, a big utility body works best. This has helped lead to the fall of the sedan and rise of plush luxury SUVs on the road today.
In the late '90s, the Ford Expedition found popularity as a roomy hauler for American families. While that vehicle was meant for utility, Ford's luxury brand Lincoln borrowed the Expedition platform for their own interpretation. The result: the Navigator. With unique front-end styling, extra interior wood trim, thicker carpets, and a premium sound system, the Navigator was an originator for American luxury SUVs. It's continued through several generations, always sharing underpinnings with the Expedition, but making further departures in style and features with each model.
Today's Navigator is a triumph of design and luxury that rolls with the best. Supple leather covers 30-way adjustable seats, the sleek interior packs a 20-speaker system, and available active dampers smooth the ride for the eight passengers it can carry — all becoming of the $100,000 top trim cost. It packs a 450 horsepower twin-turbo V6 (making it the most powerful Lincoln ever) and 10-speed transmission shared with the Ford Raptor pickup, but the drivetrain tune is set for effortless acceleration rather than off-road hooning. Lincoln's always built luxurious land yachts, and the modern Navigator might be their best yet.
Soon after the Navigator launched, Ford's cross-town rivals at General Motors scrambled to develop a competitor. In doing so they created one of the most iconic luxury SUVs ever — one that instantly commands reverence for whoever's baller enough to take the wheel. The Cadillac Escalade is a car everyone's seen in music videos, paparazzi photos, or slow cruising down the boulevard with subwoofers bumping.
GM used the same formula as Ford, transforming a regular people mover into a luxury legend. Starting with the platform of the Chevy Tahoe, GM Cadillac-ified it with a bodykit, plush interior, shiny wheels and grille, and… not a ton else. With the second generation Escalade's debut at the glitzy Pebble Beach auto show it really started to catch attention. The bold, angular bodywork surrounded a plush interior swathed in leather and wood. It also made history as the first vehicle in the segment available with 20 inch wheels (chrome, of course) from the factory. It offered a smooth drive becoming of a Cadillac, with far more space than any of the brand's stodgy sedans. Now in its fourth generation, the Escalade's wheels have only grown, improving its luxury style but reducing the off-road capability many expect from SUVs.
Luxurious multi-tools
But comfort and ruggedness aren't mutually exclusive in some luxury SUVs. For example, the Range Rover started off as essentially farm equipment, but has maintained off-road ability with each successive generation's increase in opulence. Its adjustable air suspension lifts it over trail obstacles or floats down a road, plus has different modes for driving on pavement, snow, sand, grass, mud, or gravel. The top-level trim is available with reclining, massaging, heated and cooled dual rear seats with a beverage refrigerator and fold-out tray tables between them. It's truly an SUV you can have a chauffeur take you around in, or rip up to a snowy mountain chateau. With year-over-year sales increasing and an entire product range around it it — Evoque, Sport, and Velar — the Range Rover proves that luxury SUVs can do anything sedans can, and even more.
Maybe the vehicle that best exemplifies the luxury SUV mystique is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, better known as the G-Wagen (an abbreviation of Gelandewagen, German for "off-road vehicle"). Initially conceived in the late '70s as a warzone-ready military machine, the G-Wagen soon became a status symbol for the rich and famous, despite being, frankly, not all that nice. Tall and narrow, with chunky tires and clattery diesel engines, something about its slab-sided body projected a posh image. Eventually Mercedes realized that people were buying G-Wagens for daily driver duty and primped the interior with wood and leather, and installed strong V8s under the hood — including mighty AMG versions.
The newest G-Wagen is a complete redesign of the classic, although you'd be hard pressed to distinguish it from the outside. The interior, though, represents an extreme upgrade from its predecessor, with a widescreen digital dashboard, color-configurable LED lighting, and state-of-the-art driver assist features. Still, it comes with bumper bars, three locking differentials, and a solid rear axle, making it ready as ever to get off the beaten path.
Mercedes' GLS deserves mention for the future of upscale SUVs. The current version is plenty nice, but the focus is on passenger capacity rather than outright luxury. That'll likely change with the next generation, as rumor has it the legendary Maybach badge will be applied to the highest-level trim. Imagine Benz's biggest vehicle, configured to coddle as few as four passengers — potentially as close to a private jet for the road as an SUV has ever come.
So what is it about luxury SUVs that makes them so popular? They sacrifice driving fun, fuel economy, and arguably elegant style for the pure sake of being big. Perhaps that's just it: the presence they project for whoever's inside make the tradeoffs worthwhile, and when they're as comfortable as they are, who wouldn't enjoy being in one?

| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Telangana [India], Sept. 27 (ANI): The water level at Bhadrachalam in Khamma district on River Godavari in Telangana rose to 30 feet by last evening due to heavy inflows from the upper reaches of Godavari. The water level has risen sharply by seven feet within a span of 12 hour. The state irrigation authorities have informed that it is likely to further increase and may reach 35 feet by this afternoon. The state authorities have sounded a high alert for people in low lying areas in the Temple town as well as nearby villages in Bhadrachalam division of Khammam district as a precautionary measure. Besides, all river side districts of both Godavari and Krishna have been put on alert following heavy inflows. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Chandrasekhara Rao who visited Karimnagar district last evening said the delay in the construction of Mid Manair Dam (MMD) by contractors led to the 130-metre breach in the earth dam. He cancelled the contract and ordered for fresh tendering process for the dam. Meanwhile, about 12,000 people who were shifted to relief camps from the nearby villages have returned to their homes in Karimnagar district following flood water receded. In the rain ravaged Hyderabad, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation-GHMC authorities have begun massive demolition and 39 illegal constructions that were blocking the storm water drains have been demolished yesterday. A total 28 thousand illegal constructions were identified across the capital city. (ANI)

Country Queers
an interview with Rachel Garringer
Country Queers is an ongoing multimedia oral history project documenting the diverse experiences of rural, small town, and country LGBTQ+ folks in the U.S. – across intersecting layers of identity such as race, class, age, ability, gender identity, and religion. It was wonderful to connect with Rachel Garringer, the founder, director and photographer of Country Queers, and to chat about this incredible project.
Cordella Magazine: What was your experience like growing up in a small town? What are examples of joys and challenges you experienced as a youth in a rural landscape?
Rachel Garringer: I actually grew up about an hour outside of a small town - at the time it had a population of around 3,000. I spent most of my time on the farm where we lived from when I was 7 until I graduated high school. It's a stunning valley farm high up in the Allegheny Mountains of southeastern West Virginia. And that land is one of the most important things to me in my life, to this day.
Joys of growing up there included bottle feeding lambs in the spring, and spending hours outside with all the other animals we had: donkeys and llamas and goats and pigs and cats and dogs and a wonderfully stubborn kind pony named Ocea. I really loved hay-making as a kid when we could ride on the back of the wagon, swaying with the turns in the road - and then the barn loft would be overpowered with the sweet smell all through the winter and spring. I spent a lot of time alone in the woods, and playing in the creeks. Daydreaming and listening, watching and walking.
Challenges? I rode the bus for four hours a day in high school. I grew up in Central Appalachia where young folks who can often leave and never come back, and young folks who can't often get bogged down in the despair of a place in deep economic crisis with a full-on drug epidemic raging. I didn't know a single out queer person until I left the state of West Virginia. There was a neo-Nazi compound in the county where I grew up. People said nasty racist and homophobic things on the bus. Families are complicated. Depression is real. Being a young person anywhere can be brutal.
CM: What are examples of stories you've collected for your project that you've found the most inspiring? The most harrowing?
RG: It's so hard to pick just a few. Every single interview has been such an amazing learning experience, and such a gift. One of the earliest interviews I did was with a then-78-year-old former nun in Western Massachusetts (read the interview here). Her stories of how she found queer community in the pre-gay-rights-movement countryside, of her partner she's been with for over 30 years (and her advice on how to make relationships last), and her love of horses and her home community that she still lived in, was so inspiring. I just cried and cried as I drove away from that interview cause I'd never talked to a queer elder before, and I realized how much we're robbed of when we don't have access to relationships with them. And so often, we don't.
I interviewed a gay couple in their 50's in Oklahoma, who described the terror of coming out in the midst of the AIDS crisis in a way that I'll never forget. One of them told the story of his long-time former partner who died of AIDS. The way his partner's family didn't even call to tell him he was close to dying, the way they treated him at the funeral. They described going to the gay bar in those days for community memorials for their friends and lovers who had died, because families wouldn't allow them at the funerals. It was just awful. I also interviewed a queer woman in Prince Edward County, Virginia who told the story of her mother going to live in Baltimore with her aunt after Brown vs. Board of Education passed because the county chose to close all of its public schools rather than de-segregate them. Prince Edward County public schools were closed from 1959-1964 in order to deny Black students access to education. We've got all sorts of ugly histories to reckon with as rural people, especially those of us who are white.
CM: Based on what you've learned through your interviews, what are examples of practical things that need to change to help queer folks feel safe and welcome in small town America?
RG: Lots of rural queer folks struggle to navigate religious values in their hometowns and families. Queer youth in rural places often lack support at home and at school in some serious ways. Conversations around gender-identity are only just beginning - and not going the smoothest - in a lot of small towns. Rural and small town raised queer and trans people of color (qtpoc) I've interviewed have all described the added exhaustion that comes from navigating deep racism in addition to homophobia and transphobia.
I think the questions around how to support rural queers are the same as those we struggle with nationally at this moment. How are we pushing conversations and helping create safe spaces for trans and gender-non-conforming youth? How are we addressing racism and layers of oppression impacting qtpoc from within and without the queer community? And how do queer people retain a relationship to faith and spirituality, when so often faith communities want to deny us entrance?
CM: What are your hopes for your project? How do you see it growing?
RG: I hope someday to have more time to dedicate to it! Country Queers has been a "free"time project ever since it started in 2013, and I constantly feel drawn to give more energy to it, that I frankly just don't have with full time work + part-time work + the rest of life's responsibilities. I'm exploring the idea of a podcast, but not ready to commit. I've always wanted to put together a book of rural queer stories since the project started. But, both of those options will depend on finding funding and time. For now, the Instagram takeovers are so fun. And with the help of some amazing volunteers across the U.S. and Canada, we're slowly plugging away at transcribing the interviews gathered so far.
CM: Are there particular states you are interested in collecting stories from? What would your ideal interview-collecting road trip look like?
RG: I did a big interview-gathering trip funded by a Kickstarter campaign in 2014. I interviewed 30 people in 6 states, and drove 7,000 miles in a month. I went to Mississippi, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Kansas. It was absolutely incredible. It was also exhausting, really expensive, rough on my old car, and totally not sustainable.
That trip led to a lot of reflection about the project. My current goal is to focus more on the mountain south - both because it's more realistic financially and logistically, but also because I strongly believe in the importance of people working in the communities where they are from, communities they are committed to, communities they understand and care about. There's so much media produced about rural places by people with no connection to them. I find it less compelling (and much more ethically-messy) than that produced by people with a deeply rooted relationship to a place.
That said, whenever I do travel to a new place, I try to do at least one Country Queers interview if I'm able. I'll probably keep doing that, maybe forever. It's one of my favorite things in the world - to record people telling their stories.
CM: On your website, you mention that this project was born out of your extreme sense of isolation as a queer person living in a small town. Has gathering and sharing the stories thus far been effective at alleviating this isolation? Is there anything that you've discovered that you could do to further help your cause?
RG: It has and it hasn't. First of all, there were almost no stories of rural queer life on the internet when I started Country Queers in 2013. Now there are a lot more. It's a different landscape than it was in terms of what kinds of stories we have access to in 2018 versus 2013. So I definitely think there's a lot more rural queer visibility these days than when I started doing this work, and that's valuable to all of us.
I definitely have benefited greatly from getting to meet rural and small town LGBTQ+ folks in person over the past five years in many states. It helps me to know their names and faces and stories. It helps me to keep in touch with some of the folks I've interviewed, to read our stories online. But there are ways in which I'm still super isolated from queer community based on the geography and economy of where I live. I continue to choose Central Appalachia over everything else, because these mountains are more important to me than anything else and have given me so much that I have to stay here and give back. But it isn't always the easiest place to be, whether you're queer or not.
CM: One thing a city can offer that a small town foreseeably can't is a real, face-to-face experience of queer community. Having lived in Western Mass. and Austin, what do you miss most about face-to-face queer community? Anything you don't miss?
RG: I miss the gay country bar where I was a regular in Austin. I miss two-stepping with gay cowboys and high-belted mullet-wearing Texas dykes. I miss the possibility of meeting someone new and cute, of getting a number, of going on dates. (Lord, can someone start a country queers dating app please? We need it! Timbr? OkFarmQueers? HollerLuv?). I miss costumes and drag-balls and dancing and riding my bike everywhere.
I don't miss the scene-y-ness. The social dynamics of insular-city-queer-scenes make me SO anxious. I also feel like there can be a lot of performance in social justice spaces in cities - especially white anti-racist circles. You prove yourself by using all the jargony language, by reading the in-books, by being at the "right" events. I value shared political analysis, community and language, but not when it means we lose the ability to have real honest conversations with people across identities and experiences and beliefs - or when it means that only certain work is valued as the kind that creates radical change. I never want to lose the ability to respect and listen to people I deeply disagree with. Living in the rural south means you HAVE to be able to do that. Living in liberal bubbles in cities means sometimes you don't.
CM: In your interviews, have you discovered any broad trends affecting the American queer community that you hadn't been aware of previously? Any surprises?
RG: I get this question a lot. I actually have a really hard time taking the 50-ish interviews I've done and finding broad trends. Each story is so unique and our experiences vary so much from state to state, even county to county, and especially across other intersecting layers of identity in addition to our queerness. Honestly, one of the only questions I've gotten an almost unanimous answer to is "How do you date/find sex or love in rural places as a queer person?" Everyone I've interviewed, except for one, has said something like "I don't know!!! Does somebody know? Can someone tell me if you do know?"
CM: What gives you inspiration and purpose on a day to day basis, living in your small town? What makes you excited to wake up in the morning, what was missing for you living in a larger city?
RG: The mountains. The naked ridgelines in the winter, the curtains of fuschia when the redbuds bloom in the spring. The lush soft green of these hills in the summer, their fire in fall. The sound of the creek outside my bedroom window. Giving my ducks fresh water in the morning and watching their absolute joy as they bathe in it. Hiking up the logging road behind my house with my dog at the end of the day. Kudzu eating old houses whole. The sound of the train whistle coming up over the ridge. The way people remember histories on this land going back generations. The desire to help fill some of the absence of stories and voices we need to remember in our rural communities, but have intentionally silenced. Dreaming about this year's garden. Swimming in the river and creek. Comparing tomato yields. And always, always, always scheming about how to work part-time so I'll have more time to write, to raise goats, to dedicate to a piece of land I love, to listen.

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about changes in website traffic, especially as it pertains to Google's Hummingbird algorithm update. However, there are two sides to the getting-leads equation: traffic and conversion. While the focus is usually placed on traffic, conversion is an equally important part of your marketing strategy. You don't want your website's lead capture to look like the image on the right.
There were five conversion optimization articles published in October that you shouldn't miss. They are practical and can help you increase your website's conversion rates.
1. The Anatomy of a High Converting Landing Page
Landing pages are a great tool for communicating your message and prompting visitors to take action. The challenge is in creating landing pages that have a high potential for conversion.
There are eight elements that make up a high-converting landing page. Neil Patel dissects each element in a beautiful and useful infographic.

4. Are You Unknowingly Using Bait-and-Switch Marketing?
The use of "bait and switch" techniques could get you into trouble. There are two common ways you might be unknowingly engaging in this type of marketing ploy.
Find out how to tell if you are using a "bait and switch" method and, if so, how you can eliminate it while still remaining effective.

5. Increase Conversions with Facebook Lookalike Audiences
Warning: This article contains a lot of technical content.
If you know a bit about Facebook advertising, this article will be up your alley. A lookalike audience is a list of Facebook users that have the same characteristics that are common among the people that make up your customer-base.
Why is it important? Because this tool enables you to target your ads toward people who are most likely to have in interest in your products or services, and can therefore increase your conversion rate. This article gives you a step-by-step guide on how to develop an effective lookalike audience.

"Selina, the Wedding Coordinator, What can we say?! She's the BEST! We only had 3 months to plan our son and daughter-in-law's wedding. With Selina's patience and assistance with every little detail, she was on point!! Everything went so smooth. Selina didn't miss a beat. All the guests that attended just gave us high compliments on how beautiful. The reception was, especially the staff that were assisting the reception that day said, "This was one of the most beautiful receptions that they helped serve!" Everyone said that the food was fantastic, and the view, ballroom and facilities were breathtaking! TO OUR FELLOW YELPERS, if you are planning on getting married, we HIGHLY Recommend SELINA at Fairview Crystal Springs! She will help you make your wedding/ reception the wedding of your dreams."

"Fairview Crystal Springs is the best venue out there. My husband and I got married there on Friday April 5th at 5:30PM in the afternoon. I was worried about the weather, considering it was raining the morning of the wedding. However, it stopped early on and we were able to have the ceremony outdoors. Our coordinator, Selina, was the best. She was very attentive, calming, and made everything run smoothly. The florist was amazing, our centerpieces and gazebo floral were stunning. The photographer Andy was awesome, and the DJ, Shawn, was also amazing. He kept the dance floor packed all night. The food was delicious, and cake was yummy also. The nice thing about this place it is a package deal, everything is done through the venue. I would highly recommend this venue. Thank you, Fairview for the best night of our lives."
- September 11th, 2018 -
"Selina was amazing. She was always so easy to talk to and I know she was genuine. She was never once upset or being rude especially after a small incident. Her attitude was always – "Yes, I will get this done" and for me that was very helpful. I was stressed as a bride since I had to prepare for everything but I gave her all the items and stuff needed for the event and all I did was trust her and she performed. Amazing. If I were to work with her again, I will definitely work with her. She is a gem and I know she was very busy. In the end she still helped us a lot even if she had to talk to other family who seemed more stressed out than I was. Lol. Thank you to Selina Ladher and to Amanoel! Your team is amazing!"

"Selina Ladher is amazing. We appreciated her friendly, professional, positive, and helpful energy. So glad she was our wedding coordinator for the big day! Will highly recommend FV to others for their special occasions!!! Thank you - Selina and all FB staff!!! Everyone continues to rave about the excellent quality of food and libations!!! 👏🏼👰🏻🤵🏼👏🏼😄"

"Selina was absolutely amazing. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect thanks to her!
She went above and beyond at every occasion to make not only my husband and I, but our entire wedding party happy.
The remodel that was done to the reception area was so beautiful and the ceremony site speaks for itself.
Couldn't imagine a better place to have the best day of your life!"
-Sabrina E
- May 14th, 2018 -
"We had our wedding here on 5/4/18. Our coordinator, Selina was amazing! She was super responsive to our questions via email. She also was upfront about her days off, so not to worry if she did respond right away.
The reception venue recently underwent a beautiful renovation. I will say, on the outside/parking lot the reception venue does not look like much, but the inside really is beautiful. You also cannot beat that amazing ceremony space. The gazebo overlooking the reservoir and hills is breathtaking.
We didn't do too much for our decorations, since the room did not need it. We used their table number stands & round mirrors for the table. I supplied the actual table numbers & our florists did a clear, cylinder vase w/flowers. They had a number of great options for linens, but we did ivory with alternating black & orange napkins, which made our tables pop. We did upgrade the linens for our sweetheart table & cake table.
We chose the buffet style for 110 guests. Everyone said the food was delicious. They brought a little bit of everything to the sweetheart table for my husband & I, it was delicious. We also got a bit of our cocktail hour appetizers,
Loved how everything was a "one stop shop". We used their invites (Basic Invite), bakery (Mazetti's), & DJ (Storm Productions). All were amazing! For items that were part of our package that we did not want (florist, etc), they deduct it from the cost. You can really customize what you want!"
-Amanda H
- April 29th, 2018 -
"Francesca was so patient, responsive, and accommodating with all of our requests that the more we worked with her the more lucky we felt to have had her as our new coordinator. Amo and the other girls there (Selena and Simone) we also all terrific and we just couldn't have been happier with their help.
We gave the staff what we thought was a tall order on some of our decorations and they set everything up perfectly.
The buffet turned out to be a really great option and everyone said the food was really good (We didn't actually get to try the food because we were too busy enjoying all the festivities even though we were warned to eat and Francesca offered to bring food besides the appetizers they had for us at the bridal sweet which, by the way, was also a great bonus to the venue). We even requested a Chilean sea bass that isn't usually one of the menu options but the chef did an excellent job preparing it and the prime rib station was also a great hit and very delicious (we did get to try that at the bridal fair!).
Besides the endless email exchanges with Francesca, she and Amo were so attentive and helpful during the whole wedding we really couldn't be more grateful!"

We all would like to end each year richer then when we started. Below is a list of 10 ways to end 2018 richer then today.
Set up automatic savings.
Saving money can be difficult, but not necessarily if it is automatic. There are numerous
banks and online sites that allow you to automatically transfer money from your checking
account to a savings account. My suggestion is to have your savings account be at a
completely different bank so that you aren't constantly looking at the balance. My other
suggestion is to set an amount that you aren't going to miss. Don't start so big that it
throws your life out of whack. Start small, see how it goes, and then add more. Whether
you are being paid weekly, bimonthly, or monthly, set it up so that the money moves right
after payday into your savings account.
Ask for a raise — or change jobs.
It has been almost 10 years since the start of the Great Recession and over 8 years since it was officially over, yet people are still scared about their employment. This is more of an internal question, are you being paid what you deserve for the work that you are doing? Unemployment is down around 4%, so if you think you aren't being paid the right amount, ask for a raise. Again, this is internal, if your boss told you last week they are cutting costs, today probably isn't the best day to ask for that raise. Are you concerned that your boss will be upset if you ask for a raise? Looking for other options might not hurt. A lot of companies are hiring and if you have a marketable skill set, a 10, 20, or even 30% raise is entirely possible with a new job.
Put your money in a high-yield savings account.
You now have automatic savings, but now what to do with the money you have saved? You need to have 3 to 6 months' worth of expenses saved somewhere where you can access it rather easily and you need to be earning money on this money. Interest rates are still crazy low, but that doesn't mean you should not be taking advantage of the options that are out there. A high-yield savings account should be earning you over 1%. If you are not earning 1%, keep looking.
Invest in the stock market.
Long-term wealth has been created by investing in the stock market. Over the past 100
years on average, the stock market has returned about 8%. For those of you thinking the
stock market is at an all-time high and will likely fall, you may be right, or you may be
wrong. The stock market will at some point go backwards, but on average over the last 100 years the stock market has been positive every 4 out of 5 years. If you are looking to make a windfall in 6 months, then this isn't for you. If you want long-term wealth, then this is where you need to be.
Find cheaper housing.
House prices are back up and in some areas, are as strong as they were before the housing bubble burst. Take a look at the equity you have in your home; now may be a good time to sell.
If you do get that crazy good offer take it and down size your house. Maybe it means moving in an older house, smaller house, or both.
Buy a rental property.
If house prices are up, so why should you be buying? People are still having a difficult time getting financing which forces them to rent. In some cases, renters are paying over 30% more than what a mortgage would cost on a similar house. If you can qualify for another mortgage or have the ability to buy another house to rent out, you can earn some very good returns.
Increase your 401(k) contribution.
If you have a retirement plan through work, my suggestion is to contribute up to whatever the company is willing to match. Free money is happy money. Even if your employer doesn't match contributions, you should still be making contributions to the plan provided. If you are already adding to the plan, add just 1% more for 2018.
Try a backdoor Roth IRA if your income is high.
A Roth IRA is a great way to pay taxes today and then never pay them again. Some people haven't been allowed to contribute to a Roth IRA because they earn too much money. For these people, the process of a backdoor Roth IRA was created. The one counter intuitive of a backdoor Roth IRA is that it creates a tax bill, which means less money in 2018, but your future net worth will go up.
Start a side hustle.
If you want to end 2018 with more money, start a business or start monetizing your hobby. A side hustle can be a rewarding endeavor. If you have an artistic side, open an Etsy store and sell your stuff online. If you are collector, start selling your collections on eBay. If you are already a hobbyist or have a good side venture going on, consider the idea of getting paid for it as an extra bonus.
Eliminate the crap.
Finally, if you want to end 2018 richer, eliminate the crap. Stop buying things you don't
need and sell the stuff you have that you don't necessarily need. Sadly, I bet all of us have hundreds if not thousands of dollars' worth of stuff in our homes, garages, and storage units that we don't use or even forgot we had. Use Ebay, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace, your trash may be someone else's treasure.

Apple Secures Permit to Test Autonomous Vehicles in California
Permit allows Apple to test self-driving cars on public roads in the largest U.S. state
SAN FRANCISCO— Apple Inc. AAPL 1.73% on Friday secured a permit forautonomous-vehicle testing in California, the clearest sign to date of progress in the company's secretive efforts to develop self-driving car technology.
The permit, awarded by California's Department of Motor Vehicles, is Apple's first for autonomous cars and allows it to test drive vehicles on public roads in the largest U.S. state by population, adding it to a list of rivals that includes Google parent Alphabet Inc. GOOG 0.05% and Tesla Inc. TSLA -1.34% The move indicates Apple is going beyond testing on private tracks and in simulators as it works to improve artificial-intelligence systems that must learn to interact in the unpredictable world of human drivers.
The Apple permit covers three 2015 Lexus sport-utility vehicles, which would be retrofitted with hardware and software to be used in autonomous mode. It also covers six human operators who must sit behind the wheel to monitor the driving and take over when needed, according to the DMV.
Apple has been working for years on self-driving cars—an effort dubbed Project Titan—under a thick veil of secrecy. Its first public statements about its car effort came in a November letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offering input on planned regulations governing automated vehicles.
The revelation of Apple's interest in self-driving technology in 2015 sent shock waves through the auto industry, which had been working on various research efforts but generally saw autonomous vehicles as a far-off endeavor. The race has intensified since then, with Silicon Valley companies and traditional auto makers vying for position around technology that has the potential to reshape a bedrock in the U.S. economy. A study by Deloitte estimates there is some $2 trillion in annual revenue in the U.S. tied to the auto industry.
Silicon Valley's increasing interest has spurred traditional auto makers around the world to increase their efforts with many claiming they will have self-driving vehicles on the road in the next few years. General Motors Co. acquired self-driving-tech startup Cruise Automation last year in an effort to speed up its self-driving efforts, and the auto maker has said it is spending about $150 million per quarter on development. Ford Motor Co. , targeting a self-driving vehicle for the market in 2021, is investing $1 billion into Argo AI to help its effort. BMW AG has teamed up with Intel Corp. to bring out a fully autonomous vehicle as well.
An Apple spokesman on Friday declined to comment on the permit and referred to a statement it issued in December, when the letter to regulators became public, that said the company is investing in machine learning and autonomous systems.
The letter—which said Apple was making those investments for many purposes "including transportation"—suggested Apple was focusing on software that would control a self-driving car. That aligned with other signs that Apple's car effort had shifted from building a car to designing an autonomous-driving system. Last summer, for instance, Apple eliminated some positions on Project Titan focused on car development and added software-focused staff.
Its new approach is a departure for Apple, which typically tries to control both the software and hardware of its products to deliver a uniform user experience, and maximize profits. It is alone among major smartphone developers, for example, in using its own operating-system software instead of Google's Android system—a strategy widely credited with helping Apple garner more than 90% of profits in the global smartphone industry, according to Strategy Analytics.
Neil Cybart, who runs Above Avalon, a site dedicated to Apple analysis, said there could be similar value in controlling both the software and hardware of a car. "One aspect of the auto industry that needs to change is design and [the company is] well suited with their design philosophy," he said.
California has been the major testing ground for autonomous-vehicle technology. Apple rivals have been testing their vehicles on the roads here for some time—especially Waymo LLC, the Google sister company doing self-driving cars. Waymo has been working on autonomous vehicles since 2009 and has driven more than 2.5 million miles on public roads, including 635,868 last year in California, according to a report filed with the state.
"We're still in the first mile of the marathon of this race. At this point, it's still up in the air who can take the lead," said Dave Sullivan, an auto analyst with consultancy AutoPacific Inc.
Putting test vehicles on public roads opens Apple to more scrutiny than it is accustomed to when developing products. California requires companies with autonomous-car testing permits to file public reports about their efforts, including crash information and the number of times their human operators have to take over from the computer. Other companies testing self-driving technology in the state—including Waymo, Uber Technologies Inc. and General Motors Co. 's Cruise Automation—have put logos on their test vehicles, adding to the attention. It is unclear if Apple's Lexus vehicles will bear its logo.
With the scrutiny of public testing, any glitches can quickly draw unwanted attention. Last month, for instance, an Uber test vehicle crashed with a motorist in Tempe, Ariz., prompting Uber to suspend all such testing briefly even though police said the tech company wasn't at fault.
Uber had previously tried testing its cars in San Francisco without a permit, drawing the ire of California officials. The ride-hailing company pulled its vehicles from its hometown and began testing in Arizona, before deciding to go back and obtain a permit in California.
Other companies have expanded road testing from California to other states that offer different weather conditions and challenges—an approach that Apple could follow as it tests its technology. Waymo is currently testing its cars in Kirkland, Wash., Mountain View, Calif., Austin, Texas, and Phoenix.
By 2030, about a quarter of all miles driven in the U.S. may be done through autonomous, electric vehicles, according to a recent study by the Boston Consulting Group.
Many of the developers that appear furthest along have said commercial fleets, whether it is robot taxis or delivery vehicles, are the most likely way the technology will first be deployed
Major questions remain about Apple's intentions.
"I'm not sure they know what their play will be, but they do sense there's an opportunity and they can bring value to it," said Ben Bajarin, an analyst with technology-research firm Creative Strategies. "The question is: How big is this commitment? And how much money are they throwing at this commitment? It's hard to know where this lands on their priority list."

Backwash refers to the sharing of drinks…and the inevitable back flow of beverage and saliva that occurs in the communal cup, the sloshing together of the different fluids and also, bacteria; what floats and what sinks, the harmless and the harmful. It compares to the multigenerational sharing of ideas, values, and rules. The good and the bad, the personal and the collective. What was helpful for one person or generation is not necessarily helpful for the next; yet all gets included and shared, transmitted and transmuted.
In water purification 'backwash' also refers to the process of reversing the flow to clear out and purify air and water… As a concept, here, it is about mining beliefs and becoming clear about thinking. What it means to be taught, to learn through association and to absorb through osmosis.
This work is about domestication, it is part of my personal backwashing process.

FREMONT, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Semiconductor equipment firm Lam Research reported late Tuesday a 21 percent sequential drop in sales as demand for chips and chip equipment wanes.
Further, Chairman and CEO James Bagley said Lam does not expect business to pick up during the new quarter as revenue is expected to decline another 7 percent to 12 percent sequentially.
"Our visibility is awful," Bagley said during a conference call. "I don't see anything that will drive bookings other than the beginning of a recovery in semiconductor business and I don't know when that will occur."
Ahead of the report, shares LRCX, +1.05% closed down $1.67, or 6.4 percent, at $24.36 on Tuesday.
Lam reported fourth-quarter net income of $58.3 million, or 44 cents a share, on revenue of $365.5 million, a 21 percent decline from the previous quarter when revenue was $465.1 million and net income was $65.1 million, or 48 cents a share.
Excluding a $16.8 million restructuring charge and a $33.1 million gain from derivatives, Lam's net income was $36.9 million, or 28 cents a share, which is double the average per-share earnings estimate of analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial.
Sales decreased globally except Japan, on a sequential basis, and cancellations declined sequentially but were higher than expected.
During the fiscal first quarter, revenue is expected to be $320 million to $340 million with earnings of 15 cents to 18 cents a share, excluding any one-time charges or derivative gains. Also, Bagley expects bookings to decline vs. the just completed quarter.
As for whether the bottom is near, Bagley said he's not prepared to make that statement.
"Certainly, we are getting down to where customers have to purchase equipment in order to sustain technology capabilities relative to needs in the industry and certainly in relation to what some of their competitors are doing," Bagley said.
"There has to be a floor there someplace other than zero."

About The LADY BARTENDER
Hi Friends,
It's me, The Lady Bartender and boy do I love cocktails! My cocktail journey has been quite a progression. I started, as one does, at home, researching classics, buying obscure bottles and then experimenting with tinctures and infusions. That sufficed for a while until one day mom asked if I wanted to open our own place. What we had envisioned was like the old saloons of the Wild West, half mercantile that sold dry goods, half watering hole to support a neighborhood community.
One of the scariest yet most fulfilling things I've done was to open that bar with no bar experience. I was graced with a short handful of afternoons under the watchful eye of an industry veteran and then set loose. Being thrown into the fire meant that I had to lean heavily on instinct and innovation in my cocktail creating. I quickly developed a system of learning classic cocktail proportions that could be manipulated to build endless combinations of custom cocktails.
By the end of our first year I was creating curriculum and teaching mixology workshops in our bar's basement. What they say is true, you do learn by teaching. For the past five years I've offered classes in Mixology Basics, Creating Signature Cocktails & Using and Making Bitters and Tinctures.
My focus now is in using the art of mixing drinks to tell a story. To find motivation in a person from history, in recalling a place - it's smell and texture, in a piece of art or simply an emotion is a never ending source of inspiration. It is my hope that you'll find some of that inspiration here too and be emboldened to create your own masterpieces (or call on me for a little help). Happy making,

Job interviews are stressful. You're worried about making a good impression, selling your skills and abilities, and not spilling food on yourself. At the same time, you're trying to learn all about the company, determine what the job will really be like, and decide if you like your potential future co-workers. However, the last question can be the most stressful – when the interviewer asks if you have any questions for them. You not only need to have questions prepared, but you should tailor them to the person of whom you are doing the asking.
"No, not really" or "What does your company make?"
These are probably the worst things you can ask. It indicates not only lack of preparation, but a lack of real interest in the company or the job. Other than giving a bad seminar, asking no questions is probably the easiest way to make sure you…

Cape Town, the birthplace of horseracing in South Africa, has been hosting horse races since 1797. Here's an even cooler fact: the country's first recorded race, the Turf Club Purse, which was run on Green Point Common on 18 September 1797, was won by the five-year-old Zemman Shaw.
The Cape's proud horseracing heritage can be seen in the quality of horses bred here. According to Candice Robinson of Mike Bass Racing, Cape Town has the best breeding grounds in the country: "If I mention some, I am probably going to leave others out, but a few of the larger studs in Cape Town are: Highlands Studs, Drakenstein Studs, Maine Chance Farms and Klawervlei Stud. Cape Town is by far the best breeding area in the country. They breed the best horses, and they've also go the biggest studs here."
How Zemman Shaw would fare against the likes of Politician (the horse which won the J&B Met in 1978 and 1979) or Pocket Power (J&B Met winner 2007, 2008, 2009) is up for debate. After all, the industry has come a long way since Lord Charles Somerset first established and developed the sport in the region.
These days, the labour-intensive industry provides employment for around 12 000 people in and around Cape Town and contributes roughly R2.71-billion to the country's Gross Domestic Product — at least those were the numbers in 2009, the last year stats were made available. Between 2002 and 2009, the industry made a cumulative contribution of R16.81-billion to South Africa's GDP. Somewhat surprisingly, the industry seems to weather poor financial climates fairly well.
"The racing industry is pretty much dominated by your upper echelon of wealthy people," explains Robinson. "Racehorses are expensive, so it's not a sport for any old person in the street. While most of the people involved in the sport are from old money, in recent years we have had some new money coming into racing. The industry has certainly maintained itself through rocky financial times… somehow it seems steady. There are people with less money who have smaller shares who do it for the love of the sport and I guess, in hard times, those are the people who fall away."
While the industry is fairly robust, Robinson laments the lack of interest from the general public. Enthusiasm for horseracing, she says, is limited to big events such as the J&B Met.
"It's not what it used to be in the olden days; these days nobody comes to the races anymore, which is really quite sad. I think that there is just not enough marketing, or perhaps not the correct marketing. Obviously people come to the big events and you get people who come for the betting —the backbone of horseracing — but it is much easier to do that via the phone these days. People just don't seem to come to the racecourse anymore."

GOD: There is but one God, the Maker, Preserver, and Ruler of all things, having in and of Himself all perfections, and being infinite in them all; and to him all creatures owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. God is revealed to us as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence or being.
THE SCRIPTURES: The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the inspiration of God and contain all the knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness.
THE MESSIAH: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, is the divinely appointed mediator between God and Man for the purpose of restoration. Having taken upon himself human nature, yet without sin, he suffered and died upon the cross for the salvation of sinners. He was buried and rose again the third day, and ascended to His Father, at whose right hand he ever lives to make intercession for his people. He is the path of our salvation.
MANKIND: God created man in his own image and free from sin. He transgressed the command of God and fell from his original holiness. We inherit a corrupt nature and are originally under condemnation. We believe in the eternal mercy of God for those incapable of moral decisions.
SALVATION: Recognizing our sinfulness through the power of the Holy Spirit; repenting of our sins; and accepting the abundant and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ alone. The faithfulness of God toward His new covenant assures that those whom God has accepted in Christ will be kept by the power of God through faith.
SANCTIFICATION: Maturing in our walk with Jesus Christ. Gaining wisdom in how to endure the trials of life and attain the virtues of a disciple through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
THE CHURCH: The Lord Jesus Is the Head of the Church and it composed of all His true disciples. Christians are to associate themselves into Christian assemblies for the purpose of worship, the Lord's Supper, exhortation, and mission.
ORDINANCES: These symbols were ordained by Christ and should be observed within the body of believers. We believe that the Lord's Supper should be available to all believers of Jesus Christ as a continual renewal of our commitment to him and one another. Believer's baptism is commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ upon answering the call to follow Him. It represents our place in his death, burial, and resurrection to which all believers are promised.
AUTONOMY: We believe in the self-governance of each congregation to be good stewards of God's gifts and workers in His mission. We also believe in the priesthood of all believers such that every Christian may stand directly before God with no other intermediary or authority other than Jesus Christ.
