How one of our readers makes her living in GA
One of our regular regulars, Brittany Kerr, responded immediately to our call for readers who make their living in general aviation:
"As soon as I got to the airport this morning, I started my day off by reading today's The Pulse of Aviation from General Aviation News (which has become my daily routine). When I read this, I knew immediately I had to respond!
Since 2010, I have made my living through general aviation in the middle of rural South Dakota.
Making a living as an ag pilot
By TRACY T. THURMAN
An ag pilot's day starts early, just as the sun lifts itself above the horizon. It's cool in the morning. The air is clean and crisp. Standing on a dew sparkled grass runway watching the landscape emerge into the light of a new day is part of an ag pilot's daily commute.
The morning calm however, is soon broken by a demanding shout. "Clear!" The 'tick tick tick tick… whirrrr…' of a turboprop engine coming to life shatters the serenity and the work day has begun.
All across the country, on air strips in rural valleys and farmlands, the same procedure is repeated. There are millions of acres that need to be planted, treated, and protected. Before most people have had their first cup of coffee, the men and women of agricultural aviation are in motion doing just that.

They say that we eat with our eyes first… after this culinary work of art, I was plum stuffed. :) But seriously, how a food looks is one of the first sensory criteria that we use to make decisions about the foods we eat. Eating in general, is a multi-sensory experience.
Our eyes take charge of the whole process from the get-go. More often then not, we listen to our eyes rather than our logic when it comes to making food choices. Logic tells us we ought to eat something healthier or to put the fork down after so many bites, but the eyes, oooh those darn eyes, they send signals to our mouth which host a colony of favor receptors, that are primed to transmit information to the brain. The mouth begins to water, the eyes glaze over, the emotional feeling of self-graditfication takes hold…. And if we are not careful, more times than often, we can lose that control.
We can combat this though. Keep the fridge and pantry stocked with whole foods, healthy foods… surround yourself with nutrient dense, delicious and beautiful foods so the temptation of the not-so-desirables, can't creep in.
My hope with this cake was to lasso in the ole' taste buds by creating a visually pleasant dessert. I wanted to win over the "eyes" of our guests and loved ones. I wanted them to approach this cake and think, "Oh my gosh, this is a beautiful cake!" (eyes start sending those signals) I wanted them to enjoy a slice of the cake and think, "OMGosh, this tastes amazing!" (the mouth becomes a firework display of signals to the brain) and I wanted them to say, "You're kidding me! This is good for me?!" I wanted the belly to be thanking them profusely for sending down such amazing nutrients.
You spend a lot of time learning about whole foods and their health benefits. You shop for the perfect ingredients. You spend valuable time prepping for your creation. You read and reread the instructions to the recipe 3x over to make sure you follow it to a "T"…. you are almost there…. don't drop the ball now! Let your creative side take control and create your own work of art. Remember though, there is beauty in simplicity too! Let your love for those that you will be sharing this with, sense your love for them show through the love and beauty you put into your creations.
Apricot compote:
Apricot compote:
The half which is going to be for the bottom, I just left well enough alone.
Spread half of the apricot compote in between the cake layers.
Frost the outside of the cake. Don't worry about it being perfect, if you
decide to decorate it like it did, the frosting will cover it up.
Press chopped almonds on the sides of the cake.
Spread the remaining compote on top of the cake.
Decorate with fruit leather flowers or any decoration of your choice.
This really looks yummy!! I'm anxious to try it…. thank you so much! hugs, jan
Happy Sunday! What a beautiful and inspiring cake. I'm new to your blog, suggested by one of our board members who thought your blog was a good starting point for me as a new raw eater. Your pictures, genius recipes and mixtures are amazing. Thanks for your emails they're wonderful. Thank you!!
Dear Amie Sue,
Your emails are always a delight! This cake looks perfect for an upcoming birthday. I'm wondering though if you have some ideas for substitutes. Buckwheat and almonds are both inflammatory foods for me. I'm thinking of cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts and brazil nuts, but no grains. Any suggestions?
Thanking you in advance,
Absolutely beautiful.
Hi, Amie Sue! Was looking at the different types of almond flour….Did you use the dried, that you made yourself with the wet pulp, (dehydrated it then whizzed it in blender) or another kind? Thank you, Kate
Thank you for sharing this magnificent master piece of culinary excellence.Your inspiring recipes truly transport me to another realm. Your "flowers" are breathtakingly beautiful. I so enjoy your blog and seeing all you create. Thank you.
Amie Sue,
You make it IMPOSSIBLE to fast- LOL!!! This looks beautiful, I can't wait…..literally…. to make it!!! I'm breaking my fast…….. (alright I was going off of it today anyway)…..so glad!!! :] This looks so yummy!!!!! :] Lyn

Is it possible to have the results display via a pop-up? Short of that the results are displaying in a way that pushes by sidebars all the way down the page past the search results no matter what settings I use. Can I get it to display without that happening?
Lastly I'd like to get the search going without using the sidebar widget and instead calling it from my navbar in the header. Is that possible that you're aware of?

We are a cell phone acceessories company. We consulted with Azar Display in regards to products to displays our products. We consulted with 4 different representatives regarding which of their products would fit our need.
The advertising on their website showed different products and different product details than what they are actually providing. We put in the order, and we received the merchandise. We paid $680 for shipping to our facilities alone. We ordered 50 items that were supposed to be already assembled instead we got 50 pieces that assembled only make 25 products.
We called to rectify the issue and the company told us that the issue was our fault. They were not and are not seeking to resolve the problem. After speaking with 4 different representatives, they never advised us that the products were NOT already assembled or complete parts.
This company is nothing but a SCAM. They will consult and advise and LIE to your face the whole time. Do NOT use this company!!!!

Azar Displays - 40 years of quality customer service and honest business
AUTHOR: Azar Displays - Sales Mgr - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 14, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, May 14, 2014
For over 40 years Azar has provided quality products and friendly service. The customer that filed the report placed and order online and picked up their order in person. I personally loaded their order in their vehicle. There was an error on the customer's side on the exact quantity they wished to order. As with all Azar order we are willing to accept returns that are requested within 30 days. However the customer in this instance chose to ship the product they picked up from our facility to California and wanted us to pickup the product to return it. We offered them a full refund if they could return the product to Azar. The customer became quite upset and spoke with profanities to our office staff. We strive to make all Azar customers happy however there will be always a few that will not even make an attempt to work out a solution.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Buyer's guide to lawnmowers
Lawnmowers are an essential tool for ensuring your lawn looks in pristine condition all year round. But with so many options to choose from and so much technical talk, finding the right one can be challenging.
That's why we're here to help. We'll take you through the different types available, the power sources on offer and all the features to look out for to make mowing your lawn as easy and simple as possible. So whether you have small patch of grass or a whole field to take care of, we've got the right mower for you.
Before you begin
How large is your garden?
While smaller spaces are better suited to compact, lightweight mowers that are easier on the wallet, larger gardens need a more durable and robust lawnmower that requires a bit more investment. Greater power is needed to get around these broader lawns quickly and easily. Similarly, there are a number of innovative features that will help make even the toughest mowing job simple so look out for these.
Where will you be storing it?
Before deciding on the size of your lawnmower, think about both access and storage. Do you need to pass through gates in order to mow your back and front gardens? If so, be sure to measure these in advance of buying to avoid snapping up a model too big to fit through the doors. The same is true of where you'll be storing your lawnmower – make sure you can get it into your shed or garage, as well as having enough space to keep it out of the way.
How close is your lawn to a power source?
A power source close to your lawn gives you more options when it comes to your choice of lawnmower. However, don't fret if your garden is very large or your lawn away from the power source – we have a wide range of mowers to suit every situation and size of garden.
Let's go through your options.

When I try to post by email, and then run the processing script (wp-mail), it only pulls the subject lines and not the message body.
What gives?
I'm running into the same problem, on both WP 2.2 and WP 2.2.1. The subject appears in the post, but the body, regardless of what it contains, is ignored. Suggestions, help, constructive criticism, telling me exactly what part of RTFM I missed, etc. will be greatly appreciated. I desperately have to get this running, and I've run into a roadblock finding a solution. Thanks in advance.
I have same problem with version 2.2 using the standard setup and using postie plugin. Very frustrating.
Looks like this bug will be fixed in 2.2.2
I have installed the patch from Ticket 4337 to my WP 2.2.1 and it works. Complete e-mail messages are now posting into WP.
It takes about 2 minutes to cut and paste the patch so try it on your install and see what happens.
Thanks tbhimdi for pointing it out, I missed that in trac.
Can someone please tell me exactly where to paste the patch?
i was able to fix this problem by replacing two files with versions from 2.1.3, this is easier then cutting and pasting.
Guys I don't understand how to apply this patch, can someone explain please, or past entire text of php file?
Honestly, I don't understand either. Would someone help us out?
I looked at the patch with the lines to change/add/remove...
and the lines in question did not show up in either wp-mail.php or the class-pop3.php
what gives?
What file(s) do I need to edit?
I'm using v 2.3.3
should have mentioned...

Box 7000, Dayton, Te 37321-7000. a letter from the * Our graduates... are often the only ones who demonstrate the love of Christ that students will ever know. Spring time on campus heralds the exciting news that Commencement exercises are just around the corner. For Bryan students, graduation serves as the great fulcrum of their lives — when their learning and preparation leads them into many varied paths of life-time service for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For our fac- ulty and staff, Commencement is a day of reward and rejoicing for the many hours and months they have poured their lives into ,, preparing their students. This issue of Bryan Life focuses on the mis- sion of our teacher edu- cation department as well as our graduates who have begun their life-long journey as teachers — 29 percent of all Bryan graduates. Bryan alums are well-equipped to teach. Each graduate receives two certifications: Tennessee state licensure and Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) licensure. The education department is accountable for meeting and exceeding the standards of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the state of Tennessee, and ACSI. With these high standards of accountability and a rig- orous curriculum, it is small wonder that our teachers are in such great demand. Currently 28 percent of all the teachers in Rhea County, Tenn., are Bryan graduates. And as critically important as it is to be excellent in pedagogy and knowledge, it is also vitally important to be prepared in heart and spirit That is the difference Bryan's faculty make every day. One graduate said that the faculty mem- bers not only taught us about Christ, but "they were Christ to us." Our graduates — called to be "Jesus skin," ambassadors of our Heavenly Father — are often the only ones who demonstrate the love of Christ that students will ever know. Our faculty and staff daily live out Bryan's mission as servants of Christ making a difference by preparing our students' hearts and minds to serve Christ and change their world. Bryan continues to rig- orously prepare our graduates inside and outside the classroom. During spring break students and staff served in short-term missions in cities here at home and around the globe. Our Chorale sang for the nation's military leaders at the Pentagon; our worldview teams touched minds and hearts of many students and parents throughout Florida and Missouri, and our women's basketball team for the fourth consecutive year qualified for the national NAIA tournament in Iowa. I hope you will join us for Commencement this year on May 5 and rejoice with us for the wonderful work God is doing on this, His campus, and in the lives of our new graduates. Dr. Stephen D. Livesay Bryan life 1 by Steve DeGeorge, Ed.D. Chair, Education Department One day while the batde was raging somewhere about posting the Ten Commandments in public areas someone came in to my office at a K— 1 2 Christian School and asked, "Steve, with all this debate about the Ten Commandments in courtrooms and such, why don't we have them posted in the Christian school?" My initial reaction was embarrassment that we had seemingly not made God's laws a priority while asking the public courts to do so. The person vol- unteered to supply posters and in short order we had the Decalogue prominently displayed in our hallways. The issue continued to bother me, though. Why hadn't I thought of it? Why wasn't I more excited that we had done it? As I thought it over, I realized a few things. One is that the Decalogue is only the core of God's law. Another is that no one is really capable of keeping these laws, and those who suppose that they are keeping them are confused. A third is that the whole purpose of the law is to point out sin, to cause those who hear and understand to be "cut to the heart" as were those who heard Peter's sermon in Acts chapter 2. After some wrestling with my feelings I came to this question. If displaying the law is appropriate (or not) in public places, does that necessarily mean that we, at Christian institutions, should also post the law on our walls? Maybe there is something more appropriate that we should be displaying and contemplating. The thing that came to my mind is the list of traits in Ephesians chapter five that Paul associates with living "by the Spirit," otherwise known as the "fruit of the Spirit." Many of us have memorized these as children. They are "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith- fulness, gentleness, and self-control." Paul adds these powerful words: "Against such things there is no law." (Gal.5:16-23 NIV) I think we can all agree that there never will be. Maybe that list should be hanging on our walls and swimming through our minds and hearts. So, how does that inform the question of how a 2 Christ above all love, joy, peace, -patteiA^e, teii/uWss, U Christian teacher expresses and main- tains a clear witness in a decidedly secular environment such as a public school, or anywhere else for that mat- ter? Our ability to speak out is cer- tainly limited in public schools these days. But don't we already know that? "Talk is cheap," we say, and it's true. We don't need laws and prohibitions to tell us that Christian rhetoric, sometimes referred to as "Godspeak," by itself, is unwelcome even in our own circles. So what is left for us to do in expressing our witness? The answer to this question is simple, pro- found, and somewhat mys- terious (as most biblical answers are). It is to walk in the spirit and demonstrate by our daily lives the fruit of that spiritual walk, thereby earning access to people in need and the right to be heard by them. This is the basis for how we losophy of education students are forced to confront the issues related to their view of truth and knowing, the nature of the learner, the teaching and learning process, ethics, aesthet- ics, etc. This is not so unique in and of itself but it becomes so when a truly biblical worldview informs these chapter 2 of his epistle (fas.2:16,ff). A statement that might appear in a Christian philosophy of education and that would be welcome in secular circles is as follows: "I believe that each student is a work of God with great gifts and tremendous potential. It is with great awe that I approach the topics. They also write a scaled-down ver- teaching/learning process. I also sion (a page or two) that has two believe that each learner has the potential to make bad Our goal is to steer students chokes, which could somewhat away from evangelical harm themselves or others. For this rea- rhetoric and toward plain talk about ^ lovkt s discipline 99 must be part of what they believe. teaching ^ learning Dr. Steve DeGeorge so that individuals may learn the social major emphases. First, it is written in such a way that anyone, including a secular-minded potential employer, can understand it Our goal is to steer students somewhat away from evan- prepare Bryan's teaching candidates to gelical rhetoric and toward plain talk bring their Christian worldview to bear in secular schools. This concept is discussed in many courses throughout our curriculum, but it comes into particularly sharp focus in the "Philosophy of Education" course. In this course students write a full-blown philosophy of education. Their educational phi- losophy naturally encompasses many aspects of their personal philosophy. In developing and articulating a phi- about what they believe. This certain- ly does not mean that they become silent on spiritual matters. What it means is that we choose our words carefully and in doing so tell potential employers what they can expect from us in terms of our behavior. Secondly, and more important, it means that we develop our Christian walk so that our actions speak for us. Incidentally, this is a sound biblical approach, which is clearly described by James in skills needed to join together in using their individual gifts for good." This statement summarizes the Christian view and carries with it a promise to treat students with love and respect while meeting their need for academic and social discipline. The ultimate goal for students in the Bryan teacher preparation program is not just to have them articulate these promises, but to keep them as they enter the classroom. The mission of Bryan's education department as stated in our "concep- tual framework" is as follows: 'To train teachers in content and peda- gogy in the context of a Christian worldview." Bryan life 3 QDod\M&s>, fatthfudi/bess, ge^tle^ess, s,tlf-c>o\Afcrol This means that along with the integration of faith into their lives and their work we expect our gradu- ates to have received a rigorous col- lege education and mastered the knowledge and skills necessary to be an effective teacher. This is a tall order and requires two big commit- ments from our department The first is to hold students accountable for learning at a high level in the four short years they spend with us. This is why we require all of the content knowledge, pedagogy, and Bible train- ing which meet the standards of all three bodies to whom we answer: the State of Tennessee, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and The Association of Christian Schools International. The second is to guide our stu- dents through the training process, lending them appropriate support along the way. This includes collabo- rating with outside organizations such as local (and not so local) schools, mission organizations, etc Our responsibility as instructors is to not only set the bar high, but to teach our students how to jump, and to "cheer like crazy" as they do. It is with this mindset that we model the attitudes and behaviors that we want them to take to the classroom. Our students seem to be respond- ing well to this challenge. Our overall average on the Praxis II exam (the U ...I believe that the education depart- ment is simply applying basic Christianity to the disciplines of good teaching. Dr. Steve DeGeorge national exam for becoming a teacher) is twenty points above passing across all sub-tests. Our students are in high demand in both public and Christian schools. In summary, I believe that the education department is simply applying basic Christianity to the disciplines of good teaching. We are examining ideas about teaching and learning from all sources and measuring them by a biblical yardstick. We are looking to develop a uniquely Christian approach in the classroom, and we are convinced that if we carry out our work while walking in the spirit we will be welcome in any setting. There may be exceptions to this where extreme prejudice exists against the Christian faith, but they are few. In most places if someone practices even a modest amount of "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control," along with a well developed knowledge of teaching and learning. . .well, who could resist that kind of teacher? Who would not turn to that person in times of need or reflection? Who would not listen to what that person has to say about learning and about life? 4 Christ above all God led me to teach Four graduates tell their stories A love of teaching, a love of children, and a desire to make a difference are common threads in sto- ries Bryan education majors tell about their deci- sions to become teachers. Four teachers who work in public schools are grateful for their teacher training classes, but said their overall experience at Bryan also contributed significandy to their success as teachers and their ability to make a difference in the lives of their students. For Michael Arnold, '96, and Lauren (Duvall) Mitchell, '00, teaching was a second choice; for Zac Brown, '01, and Kathleen (Fischer) Gleason, '03, reaching was their only thought. Michael, a seventh and eighth grade mathematics teacher in Dayton, Tenn., entered college planning to be an engineer. Lauren, a fourth grade teacher in Brooks, Ga., had planned to be an architect. Both knew they enjoyed working with people, but it took a little push to wind up in the classroom. "I like children," Lauren said. "I wanted to make a dif- ference, and getting to youth is the most effective way to make a difference. God led me to teach." In Michael's case, "My whole life I had intended to get rich then teach when I didn't need to earn a living teach- ing. When it became clear that I was not happy with engi- neering, I took that as a sign that God was telling me to be a teacher now. That brought contentment not found in other places." On the other hand, Zac, a high school mathematics teacher in Rhea County, Term., and Kathleen, a middle school English teacher in Hamilton County, Term., came to Bryan planning to teach. "From an early age I enjoyed Michael Arnold, '96 math and working with people," Zac said. "Teaching math is a good fit for both of those." Kathleen enjoyed school as a student and "thought it would be more fun to be on the teacher side of things — I sure have realized it's a lot more work!" Education majors get a taste of what their careers may be like in their freshman year as they start practicums observing teachers and students in area schools. "The biggest thing that stands out is the practicum in my fresh- man year," Kathleen said. 'That's what made me realize I didn't want to do elementary education." She switched to major in English with secondary education licensure. Zac echoed that thought. "The more you get into schools early on, the more you're going to think 'is this something 1 want to do?' It will either get you excited about teaching or turn you off. It's not good to come to your last year or two (in college) and then start wondering if this is what you want to do." This practical approach to the field is something that education majors appreciate, whether it comes from a Bryan life 5 Fary helped him learn to "think outside the box." In class and out, "Dr. Fary made you think. You've got to think on your feet as a teacher; no book can give you that, but the professors teaching you to think is so important. "I realized it wasn't enough to be prepared 3 to do math, even to with those groups, the kids get an idea where you're coming from, and that rolls over to the classroom. Find a way to get involved with students outside the classroom. From that, opportuni- ties arise." Kathleen said Bryan professors are committed to the college's mission of "educating students to become ser- vants of Christ to make a difference in today's world," a commitment they demonstrate. "It's not so much them Dr. Marcy Froemke Bryan College classroom or from working in a cooperating teacher's class in a nearby school. "No amount of classroom instruc- tion prepares you for the real world," Michael said. "I thought I was prepared (for his first day as a teacher), but reality slaps you in the face and you realize how unprepared you are. I breezed through math my entire life, but teaching math is dif- ferent. Education can't make you a teacher, but it can give you the tools to become a teacher." For Kathleen, "Student teaching was very beneficial. If I had not had student teaching I would not have been prepared at all (to take over a class- room). Nothing else prepares you for telling us 'you have to be Christ to teach how to do math. I your students,' it more their example, had to be prepared for They were Christ to us.

Lauren said she had a very practi- cal experience living her [Bryan College professors] put faith before students sev eral years ago when her so much into my lifc.it made me want school camc undcr a tor to put that into my students' lives. ' u, Kathleen Gleason Pitfalls, teachers learn, are not lim- ited to educational problems. Students bring their lives with them to class and occasionally look to teachers for encouragement. "A public school classroom is not a place where you (the teacher) can bring up religion or your faith in Christ, but you can answer questions," Zac said. "I being with kids." Lauren added that the have a commitment that if a kid asks a student teaching experience "allowed question I'm going to answer it to the me to learn things before I was in a best of my ability.

Several frightened children asked her to pray about the situ- ation, and she did. "I've found that if you're up front about your faith it's really not a problem." Adopting a servant's attitude has benefits for the teacher as well, Michael has found. "Part of teaching is being a servant It's a servant's job," he said. "I serve the students and their families. At times this gets difficult One advan- tage Bryan has is focusing on that aspect. When it gets difficult, you have that framework to fall back on; that's why you're doing this job. Washing feet probably stinks, but Jesus did it" 6 Christ above all PROUDLY ANNOUNCING THE STORY OF BRYAN COLLEGE BOOK COMING DECEMBER 2007!

RESERVE YOUR COPY NOW! http://bryan.thebooksmithgroup.com campus Students take a break for change As this edition of Bryan Life goes to press, some 95 stu- dents, faculty and staff are taking a Break for Change instead of simply taking a Spring Break. During Bryan's Spring Break March 2-11, seven teams, including a faculty or staff sponsor with two student leaders, served in three locations in the United States (San Diego, Calif; Philadelphia, Pa.; and Birmingham, Ala.) and four foreign countries (Latvia, Mexico, Peru and Belize). Dr. Travis Ricketts, director of Bryan's Practical Christian Involvement program, said planning for the Break for Change (BFC) trips begins almost as soon as one ends. Student presidents for BFC are cho- sen, then team leaders are picked and planning for specific venues begins. Kyle Parks, BFC co-president with Laura Newport, and team leaders choose locations based on research or personal knowledge and interests. Students are invited to join a team early in the school year, and begin planning, praying together and raising support then. This year's BFC projects include serving at a rescue mission in San Diego, with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in the Philadelphia area, construction in Birmingham, church planting efforts in Latvia and Belize, an orphanage in Mexico, and assisting at a conference for missionar- ies in Peru. "I encourage everybody to try at least one," Kyle said. "A lot of people go and love it I don't know of many people who have a bad time. We hear about missions a lot here. This is a good opportunity to go out, experi- ence missions and live out our faith." While BFC teams provide help to their target ministries, team members can bring back a "fire" for missions, Kyle said. "Maybe it's a greater love for the Gospel and its power, maybe it's a broader perspective because you see and experience more than you ever can here." Hopefuls compete for scholarships College got a little closer for about 80 high school seniors February 2 and 3 as they and their families gathered at Bryan for the Presidential Scholarship competition weekend. In addition, another 84 students came to campus Feb. 22 and 23 to compete for Dean's Merit Scholarships. Admissions personnel have refocused criteria for both the Presidential and Dean's scholarships, part of the college strategy to increase enrollment over the next several years. Qualifications for the Presidential Scholarship were raised to require a score of at least 28 on the ACT, and the schol- arship award was increased as well Each of the students attending the competition was declared a Presidential Scholar, and each selection committee selected one recipient to be named a Presidential Merit Scholar. continued on page 9 8 Christ above all This year, the Dean's Scholarship was moved to its own category separate from the Presidential Scholar competition, with commensurate financial awards as well. Ten percent of students qualifying for Dean's Scholarships will be selected as Dean's Merit Scholars. Admissions Director Michael Sapienza said response to the changes has been "extremely positive," with an increased number of students applying for the col- lege's highest academic awards. "We believe this will boost our efforts to grow enrollment and to attract quality students who have a real affinity for Bryan. We're excited with the response and with the good number of prospective students who are pre-registering for classes while they are here for their interviews," he said. Sophomore Faith Ammen, pictured right, spoke to prospective students at the Presidential Scholarship banquet '07 MLK Day another success More than 700 Bryan College students, faculty and staff spent Martin Luther King Day putting muscle to the idea of commu- nity service. At more than 100 sites in communities surrounding Dayton workers raked leaves, picked up trash, washed windows, cleaned houses, painted and sang at area nursing homes. Dr. Travis Ricketts, coordinator for the third community service day, said students have embraced the annual project, and recipients of the labor appreciate it as welL "Response from the community is very positive," Dr. Ricketts said. "The students generally like it too. One student, who's student teaching this year and can't participate, said MLK Day was the most favorite thing she did last year. I think they understand we're doing this because this is what Christ modeled for us. Freshman Erin Grayson, who worked ^^^ at the We Care Community Services Agency in Dayton, said an added benefit for her was getting acquainted with other students. While they painted, "it was fun to get to talk with students I didn't know as well, to get to know them." Many of die projects were out of doors, and Bryan President Dr. Stephen D Livesay said he was grateful rain held off until after noon, allowing most tasks to be completed without complications from the weather. Bryan Life Q Coffee table book to tell Bryan's story Bryan College has joined forces with The Booksmith Group to publish an illustrated cof- fee table book about the college. This stunning, limited-edition book will detail the stories, spaces, traditions and faces that have made Bryan an institu- tion cherished by her alumni. Not only will this book provide a way for our alumni to share the spirit and history of Bryan College with friends and family, every book pur- chase will help support scholarships and other programs that benefit the future of our school. "This volume will take a different approach to the Bryan story than did Legacy of Faith, the excellent history of the college by Ladonna Olsen," said Robert F. Davis, vice president for Advancement "So much has hap- pened in the 15 years since Legacy that when we were approached by The Booksmith Group we thought it was time for a new telling of the Bryan Story." In addition to research being done by the Booksmith team, alumni are being invited to contribute stories about their experiences at Bryan. "We need detailed, first-hand stories (preferably 300 words or less) to help us along in this process," said Tom Davis, Bryan's director of public information. "Do you have an inter- esting story or amusing anecdote to share about your time at Bryan? If so, we want to hear it!"

B ryan opened its first health clinic in many years on Jan. 1 6, offering a variety of serv- ices in keeping with its "Bryan Polyclinic" name. Clinic Director Dr. David Jenkinson said he has been pleased with the response from the college — students, faculty, and staff — as well as from the Dayton community. Student Haley Kaye said she visit- ed the clinic earlier this semester instead of going off-campus to have a sinus infection treated. "Dr. Jenkinson was very pleasant and I felt at home in the office," she said. "I think of them as my angels since they helped me recover from feeling so miserable — and what could be better than being right here on campus too?" Students pay a $60 per semester clinic fee and receive routine care at no additional cost. More advanced servic- es are provided at a cost. For example, students needing special vaccinations for missions trip may be inoculated at the clinic for the cost of the vaccine only. Clinic personnel also will pro- vide health education and health records maintenance services for the college. "We have been blessed here to have avoided some of the major epi- demics that go through college cam- puses from time to time, but we need to be prepared," Bryan President Dr. Stephen D. Iivesay said. "The clinic can do that for us." The Bryan Center for Critical Thought and Practice Center for Origins Research ♦ Center for Law and Government ♦ Summit at Bryan College ♦ Passing the Baton International Dr. Charles Van Eaton, Director The faculty of the Center for Origins Research have been hard at work on their three main tasks: research, publication, and teaching. Dr. Todd Wood's article on created kinds, "The Current Status of Baraminology," has been published in the Creation Research Society Quarterly. He based the arti- cle on the research he has done over the past decade. He also contributed two articles to Answers magazine, pub- lished by Answers in Genesis. Dr. Wood is also working on several research projects in genomics and the history of creationism. Settling into his first year at CORE, Dr. Roger Sanders has been working on a translation of a German creationist book for publication in the CORE Issues in Creation monograph series (http://www.bryancore.org/issues). He recently acquired new laboratory equipment, including a microscope that will allow him to resume his research on invasive weeds. This work will aid our understanding of God's curse on the earth, which included "thorns and this- tles" (Gen. 3:18). CORE is also sponsoring a new on-campus forum, called "Origins Journal Club." Every other week during the semester, professors and students meet to discuss recent research of interest to creationism. These meetings are great opportunities to learn and interact with like- minded scholars. Bryan Life 11 Alumni profile: &n/the/ Slope* Parker Thomson is living proof that a liberal arts education provides a foundation for life, not just making a living. Parker, a 1 983 graduate with an English major, has a "day job" in sales at lumber company in Grand Lake, Colo., b his passion is teaching young people the fine art of ski racing He became a Christian while attending college in Vermont and decided he wanted a Christian liberal arts education. Research led him to Bryan, where he enrolled as a junior. "I had to start over with an entirely new core curriculum, but it was worth it. Bryan helped me develop a coherent world- view," he said. "It was an amazing time." Among staff and professors he remembers Kermit Zopfi for his helpfulness, Dr. Robert Spoede for cracking the academic whip, Dr. Richard Cornelius for teaching an appreciation of words and diction, especial- ly alliteration. Dr. Betty Brynoff helped him with journalism and Dr. Irving Jensen taught him to look at the Bible with an ana- lytical eye. "One of the requirements for my English degree was tutoring some of the academic probationary students. A couple of students told me that I made English fun. I had to think about that Maybe I was meant to be a teacher in some way. I didn't think I was smart enough to be a real English teacher, so why not apply teaching as a ski instructor?" he said, laughing. le at college in Vermont, Parker was a ski racer and taught skiing as a pro. Following graduation from Bryan, he returned to his love of skiing and moved to North Carolina, where he taught skiing part-time while working in construction sales for a panelized home company. In 1991 he was recruited as a full-time ski instructor at Winter Park Ski Resort in Colorado. In 2000 he left the ski school to coach weekends for the ski race club at Winter Park. Parker's wife, Jeanette, didn't know anything about skiing before they were married. "In fact, she had never seen snow before we were married. I bought her ski lessons on our honeymoon — that's one reason we are still married. I had a revelation from God: don't teach her yourself," he said. Jeanette skis mainly Nordic (cross country), and daughters Janna and McRae snowboard. Son Parks left junior racing at age 17 after qualifying for the Junior Olympics and the FIS Regional Championships. Now he competes in Slopestyle and Superpipe with hopes of someday making it to the X Games. "After moving to Winter Park, I continued in construction-related sales when the snow melted. I coach ski racing in the winter season, but only on the week- ends. Limiting my on-snow time is God's plan because I'm a 20-year-old locked in a 50-year-old body. If I still had a full-time job on skis, it would kill me," he said. Bryan's requirements for involvement in the community helped Parker develop a strong sense of involvement with people. Over the years, he has been a Scoutmaster and unit commissioner for the Boy Scouts. He has helped with the formation of a youth soccer league as a coach, board member, and referee direc- tor for the past nine years. Tn church, he has been a Sunday school teacher and children's church leader. "Basically, you can successfully apply a college education as creatively as your mind will let you. I have an English literature degree, but my careers have focused on sports education, sales, construction, and business communications. Probably the most valuable thing I learned at Bryan was how the process of learning is a forever ongoing process." 12 Christ above all lion tracks 1950s %; Class Representatives 1954: Ginny Seguine Schatz 1956: Bud Schatz ERNIE, '52, and LOIS (CARTWRIGHT), '54x, LEE cele- brated 50 years with Wycliffc Bible Translators in October 2006, during a service at their church.

Alumni support key to Bryan's growth I Nothing speaks louder to foundations and ■ t's not always the amount, it's often the number that's impor- . tant," Vice President for Advancement Robert E Davis likes to remind alumni. "Certainly there is a goal Bryan College must reach each year to cover the amount of scholarship aid we promise our students and the amount is impor- tant," he said. 'This year we have com- mitted $2.5 million to scholarship aid. Of that amount, we are counting on $700,000 from alumni and friends. This assistance is critical if we are to continue attracting the high-qual- ity students who seek a Bryan edu- cation." In addition to the scholarship needs, the college has urgent needs to improve its facilities. A new entrance heads the list of capital projects, which includes completion of the third floor of Mercer Hall and construction of a new athletics center. "For these capital projects, as well as special academic initiatives, we often approach foundations or we are introduced to individuals with particular interests," Mr. Davis explained. "One of the first ques- tions we are asked is 'How is your alumni participation?' Our answer to that question is critical; in many cases the answer can mean the dif- ference between our request being funded or rejected." This past academic year, 7 per- cent of the 8,767 living alumni, contributed to the col- lege. "We are I major donors than hearing dee P ! y &**- 99 ful for our of strong alumni support aj^^ Robert F. Davis continue to support the college with their gifts," Mr. Davis said. 'They understand that their education was made possible, at least in part, by individuals who contributed when they were students." Raising the number of alumni donors will have a significant impact on the ability of the college to meet the challenges that lie ahead. "Nothing speaks louder to foundations and major donors than hearing of strong alumni support We trust that our alumni will con- sider anew the value of their Bryan education and resolve this year to be part of the number that makes a difference on Bryan Hill." l6 Christ above all faculty/staff notes Jim Barth, director of planned giv- ing, met with alumni and friends of the college in California, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee and Georgia recendy to discuss planned giving issues.

Bryan life 17 Bearing Good Fruit: How Bryan is blessed by generous giving that began with a simple orchard Planned giving took on a new meaning for a friend of Bryan College who needed to protect her income and wanted to make sure Bryan eventually receives a good gift from her estate. Betty Kinzie and her late husband, Thurman, estab- lished a Charitable Remainder Unitrust with Bryan after selling their orchard property in Troutville, near Roanoke, Va., several years ago. Recendy, however, she decided to convert the trust to a Charitable Gift Annuity to protect the assets in the face of market fluc- tuations. The Kinzies did not learn about Bryan until their daughter, Sue, was in high school and ready to enroll in college. Their older (( daughter was enrolled in college in Virginia "and became disgrun- ded with state schools. She said she would like Sue to go to a Christian school," Mrs. Kinzie explained. Friends introduced them to Bryan, they visited the campus, Sue enrolled, then graduated with the Class of 1983. "We liked it," Mrs. Kinzie said. "It is a conserva- tive Christian school that has stuck by its principles. A lot of schools have 'Christian' hung out there, but a lot of the time you don't see any manifestation of it We liked a small school where you don't get gobbled up by a lot of things. We've always been impressed with Bryan since we learned about it" The Kinzies operated an apple and peach orchard, inherited from Mr. Kinzie's family. "My husband wanted to become a mechanical engineer, but the war came along and the draft board said, 'come home and work on the farm or go to the army' He came home. During that time we fell in love and got married, and stuck with God has blessed us so much. (raising apples) until we retired." Before they retired, Interstate 81 was built near their orchard, and an exit was built adjacent to their home. They decided to move to Pennsylvania to be near three of their children, then moved into an apartment in a retirement community when Mr. Kinzie became ill with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. As they planned their move, they wanted to provide for their personal needs and leave a gift to Bryan. "Our lawyer said if we wanted to give to Bryan, why not put the property in trust. We could get income from that and the college would benefit later." "We didn't feel like we could give directly to the col- lege," she said. "Let's face I'm so amazed by how he has helped us. Betty Kinzie it; fruit-growing is not a lucrative profession. The money came from the sale of the property. I had never worked outside the home except in the packing house. I had no Social Security to speak of, and Thurman's was rather meager." Working with their attorney and representatives of Bryan's Planned Giving office, the Kinzies established a Charitable Remainder Trust to accomplish their twin goals. Early in 2006, however, Mrs. Kinzie determined that a different approach would benefit the college more and better meet her needs, so she converted her trust to a Charitable Gift Annuity, which provides an income for her that is not dependant on market fluctuations. Planned Giving Director Jim Barth pointed out that Mrs. Kinzie's situation illustrates how good legal and financial advice, coupled with Bryan's willingness to assist its friends, can work to the good of all parties. And, as Mrs. Kenzie said, "God has blessed us so much. I'm so amazed at how He has helped us." lo -1 above all Are you tired of being blown by the winds of a fluctuating market? . nnuity With fixed income for life, you no longer need to watch the markets.

Middle Ga. judge faces suspension for alleged retaliation against witnesses
A middle Georgia judge retaliated against two witnesses who testified in January about his courtroom conduct, state investigators say. Those actions may cost Twiggs Probate Judge Kenneth Fowler his paycheck.
The state Judicial Qualifications Commission today will ask that Fowler be suspended from office immediately without pay. A hearing begins this morning in Macon before attorney H. Jerome Strickland, a special master appointed by the Georgia Supreme Court.
Fowler allegedly took action against two private probation officers as he waited to hear whether the high court would remove him from office permanently.
The JQC on March 31 called for his removal after hearing two days of testimony. A week later, Fowler asked the officers' employer to remove the men from his courtroom. In an April 7 letter, he said John Napier and Barron Fuqua, who testified at the earlier JQC hearing,
"appeared as if they had some personal vendetta against me and it went further than just relaying what they had observed. Because of this, the level of trust necessary to effectively work together has been destroyed."
In an emergency petitition filed last week, the JQC said the judge's letter
"is clearly attempting to retaliate economically against Napier and Fuqua by requesting that their jobs be terminated — at least in Twiggs County. Judge Fowler's action can also be easily seen as a threat against Napier and Fuqua should they testify against him in the future. Such testimony might be required should the court hold additional hearings."
The JQC last month found that Fowler, a former farmer and convenience store operator with no legal training, frequently misstated the law in his courtroom. That included telling defendants that they, rather than the prosecution, had the burden of proving their case.
The judge also allowed defendants to avoid community service time by paying a fee into a fund that he controlled, the JQC found. He failed to turn those fees over to Twiggs County, using them instead to buy equipment and other items, sometimes for local law enforcement agencies, the agency concluded.
Napier and Fuqua were among the witnesses who described Fowler's courtroom conduct to the JQC. The commission found that Fowler
"fail[ed] to be patient, dignified, and courteous to individuals appearing before him. Judge Fowler routinely used abusive and insulting language towards parties appearing in Probate Court. The commission finds that during trials Judge Fowler often loudly argued with defendants and witnesses."
Fowler has denied all charges of abusive behavior but acknowledged making legal missteps in his courtroom. In January, he testified that he was self-conscious about his lack of legal training when he assumed the job in 2005.
"In the beginning I was so scared of making a mistake," he testified. "I'm no lawyer."

I am using a machine that has Vista installed. But Vista is broken.
I had some success running Ubuntu 9.1 fro a liveCD, but it uses a lot of my memeory (512MB) and sometimes freezes. In addition, the Office applications are very slow.
I tried downloading Lubuntu 12.04 and running it from a pendrive. It crashes often, both Chromium and Lubuntu. So I have ruled this out as an install option.
I wuld lime to install a Linux distribution that is stable on my system So far Ubuntu 9.10 has been the most successful, apart from the problems mentioned, version 10.04 does not load well.
Ideally, I would like Firefox as a browser and lighter Office applications.
In addition, I would like to know how to uninstall the OS if I decided I no longer wanted to use this OS. bear in mind that Vista is broken.

I recently purchased a Remington RM5502R chainsaw from our Menards store in Grand Forks, ND. After using the unit two times, it failed to start. In contacting the Customer Service Warranty Department for Remington, I was directed to the local Home of Economy store for repairs. After being examined for greater than 30 days, the store determined that the piston had been scored and was not covered under the Remington warranty. After further conversation with the mechanic, he commented that this was a recurring problem in this model of chainsaw. Furthermore, I found that the second repair person listed now refuses to work on Remington chainsaws because of the inferior quality. I find that Remington does not support the sale of the Remington chainsaw and after hearing of the recurring issues, I will not purchase Remington or MTD products in the future.
Awesome saw, cuts like a hot knife through butter~

The best form of defense is attack,attack and attack. Last 20 minutes (and i will emphasise on the Anderson sub again) is what made the difference. We need players who can push forward and take on defenders. Neither Carrick nor Gibson are good that. It is indeed a pity for Chicharito sitting on the bench who in my opinion could have fitted quite well. Even a 4-3-3 would have been far much better IMO than the silly startin eleven we put out there. We are again left hoping for slip ups between Arsenal and the blues. Maybe they will but based on our results last night, i bet they will fight for the three points.

I'm just posting this in case it can help someone else.
I've been using "really simple captcha" with "contact form 7" and WP installs for a long time and never had any problem with it until tonight when I set up a fresh WP for a friend.
Even though I had installed both plugins the same as I always do, and on the same server (even same account with other WP installs) , for some reason on the contact form in the captcha image location it was just displaying the word "captcha" instead of providing an actual unique captcha code.
I was baffled for a bit, and then I tried to think of anything I did differently. Came up with only one thing:
One this new install I had not yet gone into Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and yet chosen a a permalink structure yet.
After chasing my tail for a while, it turned out that the solution was as simple as going into Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and setting a permalink structure.
As soon as I did that, the Contact Form 7 / Really Simple Captcha started displaying actual captcha codes instead of just the word "captcha" in the box.
I hope that this will help someone else someday.
I'm very happy with the CF7 / RSC combination of plugins for a long time now, and this was just a little bump in the road. (And probably only coincidence that it only surfaced with WP 3.5).
