This article primarily discusses the conservative Old Order Amish fellowships that observe strict regulations on dress, behavior, and the use of technology. There are many New Order Amish and Beachy Amish groups that use electricity and automobiles, but still consider themselves Amish.
The Old Order Amish—like those recently arrived near Depauville–are found primarily in 21 states with Ohio having the largest population followed by Pennsylvania and Indiana, and in Ontario, Canada.
The Amish separate themselves from mainstream society for religious reasons: they do not join the military, draw no Social Security (and are exempted by law from paying Social Security taxes), nor accept any form of financial assistance from the government. The Amish rely on their church and community for support, and thus reject the concept of insurance. An example of such support is barn raising, in which the entire community gathers together to build a barn in a single day.
The Amish prefer to have minimal contact with non-Amish. However, increased prices for farmland and decreasing revenues for low-tech farming have forced many Amish to work away from the farm, particularly in construction and factory-labor, and, in those areas where there is a significant tourist trade, to engage in crafts for profit. The Amish are ambivalent about both the consequences of this contact and the commoditization of their culture. The decorative arts play little role in authentic Amish life (though prized Amish quilts are a genuine cultural inheritance), and are in fact regarded with suspicion, as a field where egotism and vain display can easily develop.
The Amish are united by a common ancestry and culture, and they marry within the Amish community. Most speak a German dialect known as Pennsylvania Dutch (or Pennsylvania German), which the Amish call Deitsch. While they meet the criteria of an ethnic group, the Amish themselves generally use the term only to refer to accepted members of their church community. With an average of seven children per family, the Amish population is growing rapidly.
The Amish are descendants of Swiss Anabaptist groups formed in the early 16th century during the radical reformation. Called "Mennonite" because of the spiritual leadership of Menno Simmons, a leader who left the Catholic priesthood and teachings, faithful Mennonites believe that the only spiritually successful life–the life acceptable to God–is that lived by the power of God in obedience to the Holy Scriptures. Such a life is possible only through a continuing fellowship in Christ.
The Amish movement takes its name from that of Jacob Amman, a Swiss Mennonite leader who believed the Mennonites were drifting away from the teachings of Simons, particularly the practice of shunning excluded members. Amman insisted upon this practice, even to the point of expecting a spouse to refuse to sleep or eat with the banned member until he/she repented of his/her behavior.
The first Amish began migrating to the United States in the 18th century, largely to avoid religious persecution and compulsory military service. The first immigrants went to Berks County, Pennsylvania. No Old Order movement ever developed in Europe and all Old Order communities are in the Americas.
The Amish are not an anti-Baptist group, as some are convinced from the name "Anabaptist". They were mockingly called Anabaptist (re-baptizers), because of their rejection of infant baptism. The Amish and other Anabaptists do not believe that a child can be meaningfully baptized; Amish children are expected to follow the will of their parents in all issues, but when they come of age, they are expected to make an adult, permanent commitment to the church.
The Amish practice of adult baptism is part of the admission into the church. Admission is taken seriously, for to leave the church after joining means being shunned forever by one's friends and family. On the other hand, those who do not join the Church are not shunned.
Two key concepts for understanding Amish practices are their revulsion toward Hochmut (pride, arrogance, haughtiness) and the high value they place on Demut or "humility" and Gelassenheit — often rendered "submission" or "letting-be," but perhaps better understood as a reluctance to be forward or assert oneself in any way. The willingness to submit to the will of God, as expressed through group norms, is at odds with American culture. They are nonresistant and rarely defend themselves physically or even in court; in wartime, they take conscientious objector status; their own folk-history contains tales of heroic nonresistance.
The anti-individualist orientation is the motive for rejecting labor-saving technologies that might make one less dependent on neighbors, or which, like electricity, might start a competition for status-goods, or which, like photographs, might cultivate individual or family vanity.
It is also a cause for rejecting education beyond the eighth grade, believing that the basic knowledge offered to that point is sufficient to prepare one for the Amish lifestyle. Further study, they feel, may ignite personal and materialistic ambitions. The American emphases on competition and assumption that self-reliance is a good thing are in direct opposition to core Amish values. In many communities, the Amish operate their own schools, typically one-room schoolhouses with teachers from the Amish community. These schools provide education in many crafts, and therefore is eligible as a vocational education and fulfills the nationwide requirement of education through 10th grade or the equivalent.
There are Amish children that go to non-Amish public schools. In the past, there have been major conflicts between the Amish and outsiders over these matters of local schooling. But for the most part they have been resolved and the educational authorities allow the Amish to educate their children in their own ways, often by having the children repeat eighth grade until they are old enough to leave school.
Rumspringa ("running around") is the general term for adolescence and the period leading up to serious courtship. As in non-Amish families, it is understood as a practical matter that there will likely be a certain amount of misbehavior during this period, but it is neither accepted nor overlooked. At the end of this period, Amish young adults are expected to find a spouse and be baptized. Some choose not to join the church and are ignored, shunned, while other communities practice hardly any shunning, keeping close family and social contact with those who leave the church. Shunning is also sometimes imposed by bishops on church members guilty of offenses such as using forbidden technology. Church members may also be "called to the carpet" to confess before the congregation.
The Amish are divided into dozens of separate fellowships, which are each broken down in turn into districts or congregations. Each district is fully independent and has its own Ordnung, or set of unwritten rules, which differ from community to community, and, within a community, from district to district. What is acceptable in one community may not be acceptable in another over matters such as the width of a hat-brim, the use of tobacco (permitted among older and more conservative groups), the color of buggies, or various other issues. The Ordnung is viewed as a guide to community standards, rather than doctrine that defines sin, and is not meant to incur suffering.
"Black bumper" Beachy Amish drive chromeless automobiles and are rejected as non-Amish by most other groups, while conservative fellowships may disagree over the number of suspenders males should wear (only one is needed, so two could be seen as vanity) or how many pleats there should be in a bonnet. Groups with similar policies are held to be "in fellowship" and consider each other members of the same Christian church. These groups can visit and intermarry with one another, an important consideration for avoiding problems with inbreeding. Thus minor disagreements within communities over dairy equipment or telephones in workshops can create splinter churches and divide multiple communities.
Dress code for some groups includes prohibitions against buttons, allowing only hooks and eyes to keep clothing closed; other groups allow members to sew buttons onto clothing. In some groups, certain articles can have buttons and others cannot. The restriction on buttons is attributed in part to their former association with military uniforms, and also to their potential for serving as opportunities for vain display. Straight-pins are often used to hold articles of clothing together. In all things, the aesthetic value is "plainness": clothing should not call attention to the wearer by cut, color or any other feature.
Women usually wear long dresses in a solid, plain color such as blue. Aprons are often worn, usually in white or black, at home and always worn when attending church. A cape which consists of a triangular shape of cloth is usually worn beginning around the teenage years and pinned into the apron. In the colder months, a wool shroud is sported and pinned to hold together. Heavy bonnets are also worn over the prayer coverings when Amish women are out and about in cold weather.
Men typically wear dark-colored trousers and a dark vest or coat, suspenders, and broad-rimmed straw hats in the warmer months and black felt hats in the colder months. Typically, single Amish men are clean-shaven and married men grow a beard. In some communities, however, a man will grow a beard after he is baptized. The wearing of beards is largely based on the same beliefs against shaving that leads Hasidic Jews and conservative Muslims not to shave their beards; mustaches are generally not allowed, because they are seen as symbols of both pride and the military.
The Old Order Amish avoidance of modern technologies such as automobiles and electricity is largely misunderstood–they do not view technology as evil. Individuals may petition for acceptance of a particular technology in the local community. In some communities, the church leaders meet to review such proposals. In others, it is done whenever necessary. In the 1970s, an Indiana farmer was ordered by his bishop to buy a conventional tractor because his severe progressive arthritis and no sons to harness the horses for him, the tractor was seen as a need, rather than a vanity. The rest of the community continued farming with horses.
The Amish will hire drivers for visiting family, monthly grocery shopping, commuting to the workplace off the farm, though this too is subject to local regulation and variation. Regular bus service between Amish communities has been established in some areas.
Electricity is viewed as a connection to, and reliance on, the "World", the "English", or "Yankees" (the outside world). The use of electricity also could lead to the use of household appliances, which would complicate the Amish tradition of a simple life, and introduce competition for worldly goods that would be destructive of community.
However, in certain Amish groups, electricity can be used in very specific situations. In some groups, electricity can be produced by 12-volt batteries. The reasoning behind the twelve-volt system is that it limits what an individual can do with the electricity and acts as a preventive measure against potential abuses by not powering worldly, modern appliances such as televisions or hair dryers. Electric generators can be used for welding, recharging batteries, and powering milk stirrers. In certain situations, outdoor electrical appliances may be used: lawn mowers (riding and hand-pushed) and string trimmers, for example. Many Amish families have non-electric versions of vital appliances, such as kerosene-powered refrigerators
Amish communities often adopt compromise solutions involving technology which may seem strange to outsiders. For example, many communities will allow gas-powered farm equipment such as tillers or mowers, but only if they are pushed by a human or pulled by a horse. The reasoning is that Amish farmers will not be tempted to purchase more land to out compete other farmers in their community if they still have to move the equipment manually.
The telephone is another technology whose avoidance is often misunderstood. The Amish dislike the telephone because it interferes with their separation from the world; it brings the outside world into the home; it is an intrusion into the privacy and sanctity of the family and interferes with social community by eliminating face-to-face communication. However, some Amish use the telephone primarily for out-going calls, but with the added restriction that the telephone not be inside the home, but rather in a phone "booth" or shanty placed far enough from the house as to make its use inconvenient, and commonly shared by more than one family. Many Amish, particularly those who run businesses, will use cellphones and pagers, utilize voice mail service, or use trusted English neighbors as contact points for passing on family emergency messages, but most Old Order Amish will not.
The Amish as a whole feel the pressures of the modern world. Child labor laws, for example, are seriously threatening their long-established ways of life. Amish children are taught at an early age to work hard. Amish parents will supervise the children in new tasks to ensure that they learn to do them effectively and safely. The modern child labor laws conflict with allowing the Amish parents to decide whether or not their children are competent in hazardous tasks.
The Amish sects provide for their elderly and disabled; one visible sign of the care Amish provide for the elderly are the smaller Grossdaadi Heiser or Daadiheiser ("grandfather house") often built near the main dwelling.

We went to see the Christmas Ships down at Willamette Park this evening. We walked out on a boat launching pier on a chilly night and waited for just under a dozen boats decked in Christmas lights to cruise by. In lights, Santa was surfing and scuba diving and paddling a canoe (depending on which boat you were looking at). Some of these were animated and all were well done. It was the final night of the 50th anniversary edition of the Christmas Ships in Portland. We were happy to celebrate their and our good fortune.

There is something satisfying about rustling up a delicious supper with ingredients that you already have in your storecupboard or fridge.
This is what I made last night.
Linguine wit sardines, capers + fried breadcrumbs
This is what you need:
serves 2
250g dried linguine (I like de Cecco)
2 tins of sardines in olive oil, drained and 1 tbsp of oil reserved
3 tbsp of capers, rinsed
1 lemon (for squeezing over the pasta at the table)
1/2 tsp of dried chilli flakes
handful of flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped
2 handfuls of rocket
2 tbsp of breadcrumbs
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
This is what you do:
1. in a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil from one of the tins of sardines over medium heat
2. add the garlic, chilli flakes and breadcrumbs and fry gently until nicely brown; tip onto a plate and set aside
3. in the same pan, add the sardines + capers and warm through very gently over low heat
4. cook the linguine according to instructions on the packet; this usually takes 10 minutes or thereabouts
5. top the sardines with the rocket, add the drained pasta and toss carefully
6. sprinkle over the breadcrumbs mixture, some freshly grated Parmesan + the parsley
7. serve with half a lemon per person for squeezing over the pasta + extra Parmesan
Really extraordinarily good, bold flavours + all the different textures are lovely.
We ate this followed by a green salad with peashoots, avocado + a couple of olives.

Our Theology of Worship has an impact on what we do in worship. Our theology is a lens through which we see everything else: it is our "first-line" of sight that puts everything else into focus. How does that lens relate to our choice of what styles and elements happen in worship?
The purpose and idea of Worship has not changed since the beginning of time: God comes to His people and they respond. The message of who God is and His love will never change. He is Creator, Redeemer, and Comforter. The Word never changes but the styles used in worship have changed throughout history. What was contemporary to King David (strings, dancing, cymbals) would have been "traditional" in Jesus' day.
The real issue for many people is "God-centered vs. Man-centered Worship". But who determines whether a person is focused on God or Man in worship?
For people that have grown up in a traditional liturgical style of worship, the contemporary side may seem to focus on man because of the loose style of worship and an entertainment feel. This person might see the guitars, speakers, microphones, and drums and see it as a show or concert. Traditional elements of worship (confession, creed, communion) might be missed or feel "different". For this person their focus would be off of God and onto man. This would not be the proper style of worship for that person because the style does not direct them to God.
The opposite scenario may be true for the person that has not grown up in the church, or has been raised in contemporary worship. They may go to a "traditional liturgical" service and see the stained glass windows, ornate organ, and robed choir and feel that it is focused on a show full of pomp and circumstance. The style would not direct the person to God, and they may miss the God-focus of the liturgy. In this case, traditional-liturgical would not be the proper location for the worshiper to attend. Their focus would not be on God because the style does not lead them there.
In either case, the purpose of Worship can not be forgotten: God comes to His people and they respond. That is the lens through which we understand worship. The Word can be present in both services. The message can be the same. The sacraments are the same. God's people are receiving His Word and responding. The style should always direct people to God, but because people are different and have different histories, styles of worship are different. What does not change is our history of being a Word and Sacrament church where Christ is proclaimed.

THE FRIENDS OF KEW (by Allan Hart)
It had always been a bone of contention that all ex. students and gardening staff had to pay the full amount of the entrance fee – no concessions allowed. During my Presidential Year in 2012 I was able to negotiate with the (then) Director – Peter Crane – for a substantial reduction in the annual subscription.
The rate for 2017 is £35.00, which is approximately 30% of the full amount.
This is for two people and includes all privileges. All you need to do is obtain the application form and write on it 'KEW GUILD MEMBER'. This information used to be sent out with the Members Certificates, which are no longer issued by the Guild.

The United States, desperate to catch up with the Soviet Union in the field of space exploration, notched its first success with the launch of the satellite, Explorer 1, from Cape Canaveral on 31 January 1958.
Explorer 1 weighed just 14 kilograms. It made one orbit every 114 minutes, coming as close as 356 kilometres and moving away as far as 2550 kilometres from Earth, during its journeys around it. The information it sent back led to the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts around our planet.
America's first satellite stopped transmitting after 4 months but continued to orbit Earth for more than 12 years, finally re-entering the atmosphere on 31March, 1970.
Vanguard 1, the second US satellite was launched on March 17, 1958. While Explorer was cylindrical, Vanguard 1 was a grapefruit-shaped sphere. It orbited Earth between 650 and 4000 kilometres. Analysis of its orbit revealed that our planet is not quite round, but pear-shaped – elevated at the North Pole and flattened at the South Pole.
Vanguard's battery-operated transmitter stopped operating in June 1958 when the batteries ran down. The solar-powered transmitter operated until May 1964.
Vanguard 1 continues to orbit Earth. It is the oldest satellite still in orbit at this time. It is expected to continue circling Earth for another 200 years or so till external forces slow it down and cause it to fall back to Earth.
The US launched three satellites in the Vanguard series. Initially managed by the Naval Research Laboratory, the programme was transferred to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) when it was created in mid-1958.

Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story returned after its first season, The People Versus O.J. Simpson, with a very different kind of show for its second: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
Tracing the murder of the Miami-based designer Gianni Versace (Edgar Ramírez) by serial killer Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss), this season of American Crime Story looks and feels quite different from the first. Written by Tom Rob Smith, who spent years researching the subject, and based on Maureen Orth's book, Vulgar Favors, the season opens with the titular event outside Versace's opulent Miami mansion and then progresses backward in time, following in the murder spree that preceded that gruesome event. Penélope Cruz also appears as Versace's sister Donatella and Ricky Martin as his lover, Antonio.
"The first rule with Ryan is we always want to be different tonally, visually, in every way," explains Ryan's frequent collaborator, cinematographer Nelson Cragg ASC, who shot the entire O.J. season of ACS and the premiere season of Feud. Cragg handled cinematography for the first two episodes of Versace, and also directed the second. "Ryan did not want to do another courtroom drama. I shot O.J. on longer lenses. It was a lot of courtrooms and offices. We used a lot of close-ups. It didn't require the same kind of scope."
Cragg explains how the conception for Versace was different. "These are larger-than-life people and contrasting worlds," he says. "It's a larger-than-life house. His world is full of opulence, beauty, symmetry. And Cunanan's world is raw and infused with emotional and moral bankruptcy.
"That's how we structured the first episode—the beauty and brightness and colors Versace surrounded himself and the much more down, scattered look of Cunanan's environment."
It would be clear even with the sound off what the characters and themes of the season are as we're introduced to Versace in his home (shot in the actual mansion he called home, now a working hotel). "Versace's world is very controlled, built, designed, and loved," Cragg says.
Contrast obviously comes from the locations—Versace's palatial home compared to Cunanan's seedy hotel—but Murphy and Cragg also like to enhance the visuals formally and conceptually.
"I wanted most of the shots of him at home to highlight that symmetry. Most of them are symmetrical compositions with crane moves that are straight up or straight down. It called for shooting with wide lenses and sweeping moves. First and foremost, the wide lenses are to show spaces. The real house Versace lived in and the best way to do that is be really wide—12mm, 14mm, maybe 16mm and 18mm. And on cranes to show space."
Meanwhile, the murderer's disjointed behavior in obviously poorer areas of South Beach, is covered in a less ordered, less formally pleasant way.
While later episodes would use sets on the 20 Century Fox lot and some Los Angeles exteriors to stand in for other cities, these first two shows, cross-boarded and shot like one movie, were filmed in and around South Beach to capture the location's textures, colors and contrasts.
Cragg, production designer Judy Becker, costume designer Lou Eyrich—all frequent contributors to Murphy's work—planned out their approaches in preproduction based on early discussions with Murphy.
"When led by an auteur like Ryan, it comes out and these great teams do so much research and create huge boards with color palette. We don't so much talk about all these ideas," he says, "as feel it as we go."
Cragg utilized Angenieux Optimo lightweight 15-40mm zooms and Zeiss Ultra Primes for the season. The cameras—ARRI Alexa Mini and SXT Plus shooting at 3.2K ProRes 4:4:4:4 —were often mounted on 30- or 50-foot Technocranes with various three-axis stabilized heads. In more confined spaces, the crew would use smaller telescoping cranes, such as the MovieBird.
As with other Murphy projects, shooting days are built around the idea of creating multiple setups concurrently to bring in a significant amount of material per day. "We'd always have three cameras," Cragg says, "but one or two of them would usually break off and set up additional shots all over the Versace mansion. That's how we got so much done on a tight schedule. We had Penélope Cruz and Ricky Martin in different rooms of the mansion doing very emotional scenes. The Versace mansion is a working hotel and we shot there and all along South Beach was in the middle of tourist seasons so it was very expensive to shoot there.
"I think I'd only work that way with Ryan," Cragg notes. "He's the master multitasker. With Ryan, he's going to write as he goes. He'll see something or a room he likes and he'll create scenes based on things he sees."
Cragg definitely approves of this approach: "It's good for performance and the speed of the set," he offers. "We get a lot of material each day. I don't like long, laborious lighting setups. I don't feel they ultimately help tell the story." That said, he notes, "With Ryan's show you do want a lot of scenes nicely lit and glossy, especially the Versace portions."
The solution he and gaffer David Kagen came up with had to do with lighting day interiors from outside as much as possible and using smaller, energy-efficient LEDs inside.
"Of course, we couldn't break anything or do anything to the walls with these million dollar mosaics or doors with hand inlaid marble," Cragg recalls. "We would light the mansion from the outside when we could," Kagen adds. "We'd have big HMI units outside mixing with the natural sunlight but the mansion is so beautiful and has natural light from the big windows a lot of it we didn't need to add too much light."
Inside, they'd bounce Source 4 Lekos into unbleached muslin and for larger spaces, ARRI Sky Panel and Litegear/Quasar LED units and some homemade units Kagen and crew built, particularly to fit in small spaces. Despite the mansion's restrictions and abundance of irreplaceable artifacts, Kagen credits the team's avoidance of disaster on, "a skilled union crew who knows how to navigate any setting without damaging things."
Although much of the season beyond these first two episodes is set in other locations throughout the country, the look and feel of that South Beach mansion permeates everything that transpires, it represents exactly the kind of success and validation that Cunanan desperately craves in his own malignant way.
In addition to the filmmakers' use of the real location and the department heads' extensive research and design, Cragg also enlisted the help of colorist Kevin Kirwan of Encore in Hollywood, "to help us get those coral colors and pastels of Miami from the time period—the warm reds, the pinks, the specific look of Versace's robe. I've worked with Kevin on Ryan's shows for a long time and we have a kind of shorthand when we work together."
Cragg was able to choose his successor for the remainder of the season and proposed British cinematographer Simon Dennis. "I've known Simon for 10 years," Cragg says. "I really like his lighting. He did some episodes of [Netflix's British '20s-era crime series] Peaky Blinders and the work was great, really atmospheric. He'd never done American TV so it took some convincing with producers but once they talked to him and saw his reel, they were convinced."
Of the season's unusual structure, Cragg admits, "We weren't sure if it would work. I think it's interesting and unique to tell the story in reverse. It adds to the sense of dread because you meet these characters that you know are going to die. But I think it works."
He goes on to explain how inspiring he found Murphy's conception of the series as a "bright thriller," noting, "The closest thing I've seen is The Talented Mr. Ripley. We wanted to tell very dark story about homophobia and gay culture, AIDS and persecution, and being in the closet in that time period and we liked the idea of all that happening in 1990s Miami with the bright pastels and its strong sunlight contrasting with darkness that's happening in the story."

Smoke and Dust
Dream | April 10, 2009
I went to visit a friend working at a car dealership.
In the middle of the showroom floor he stood behind a podium with a happy grin on his face. Every few seconds he would surreptitiously bring out a big smoking marijuana bud from a shelf in the podium and take a big whiff. It resembled a sage bundle but kind of wedge-shaped.
"Hey man, put that away. You'll get fired!" I said.
He giggled. "Naw man, everyone here smokes." And he pointed to a salesman on the floor who was chugging on a cigarette.
"At least keep it outta sight," I suggested.
Again he chuckled, and reached into a recess in the podium and drew out some object which he kept partially hidden. Then he motioned me to come into one of the negotiation rooms at the side of the room. Inside, he revealed a plate more like a flattened, shallow bowl, dusted white and containing various small chunks and piles of cocaine. A straw appeared and he sniffed one of the piles up.
His face was flushed and his eyes were red. "It's quittin' time. I'll see you out in the car man." He sniffed heavily and dragged his arm across his nose. The bowl was pushed into my hands and he went out with the marijuana bud, leaving wafting trails of smoke behind him.
I broke up a couple of the chunks and snorted about half the remaining powder. It then occurred to me I could neither leave this evidence here nor take it so brazenly with me through the showroom, so I scanned about for something to wrap it up in. A pile of newspapers caught my eye. I snatched up the top sheet and hastily wrapped the bowl up. Across the floor I plodded, trying not to make eye contact and probably looking very suspicious. The sales manager waved to me and beckoned me over.
"Ah, where are you going with that?" He inquired. I told him it was my buddy's but he insisted it was company property and must be left on the premises. Something in the way he spoke indicated he knew what it was and what it had in it. If he got ahold of it my friend and/or I would go to jail. We haggled briefly until I gave in and started walking towards the restroom telling him I was going to unwrap it. In the corner of my eye I saw him stand up suddenly like he was going to follow but I was already at the bathroom door.
Inside I quickly snorted the remaining coke then washed and dried the bowl thoroughly.
On the way out I dropped it heavily on his desk.

Our group follows financial expert, Dave Ramsey's book The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness which breaks down the process of getting out of debt into small, easy to achieve baby steps that are meant to help you get momentum quickly to help encourage you to keep moving toward financial, debt-free, freedom
Our first step, and maybe the hardest step of all, was analyzing how much money we were earning and how much money we were spending. This can sometimes create a little heat between couples (if you are married or living with another person), so be prepared to hash a few things out. It wasn't too bad for us as a couple because we both had the same vision for our family so we were happy to move forward. Together.
Once you have figured out where your money is going, you are going to implement a cash envelop and zero based budget system. Here is a video I created to help you understand the budgeting. Also this sheet from Dave Ramsey's website will help figure out your cash flow.
We use cash for things like gasoline, Christmas savings, water bill, groceries, etc. All our other bills are automatic so that money stays in our account until that money is taken out by the utility company or bank for our mortgage. I'll talk more about that in an upcoming post.
We have used this method in the past but fell off the wagon for some reason. We seem to have a better plan in place now and are really embracing this cash system. It's so good to feel like you have control over your spending!
We are at baby step 2 now which is very exciting! We've saved our $1,000 emergency fund which will give us a buffer in case we have a financial emergency while we are trying to pay down our debt.
My goal is to have our debt paid off within a year and our house paid off within 6 - 8 years. Without debt, could you imagine ALL the things you could do?
I want to use this blog to keep our family accountable while helping to encourage and create a dialogue for other families to follow in our footsteps. I encourage people to post their questions, tips and secrets, and I'll make sure to share ours too.
Who else wants to join the revolution? Comment and let us know if you want to join us!

Arthur J. Villasanta – Fourth Estate Contributor
Purchase, NY, United States (4E) – PepsiCo will acquire SodaStream International Ltd, an Israeli firm that manufactures the popular at-home carbonated drink-maker named "SodaStream" and a range of flavorings to cater to a market more in love with non-sugary drinks.
PepsiCo said its takeover will position SodaStream for further expansion and breakthrough innovation.
PepsiCo's acquisition of SodaStream for $3.2 billion should be completed by January 2019. It will, however, have to hurdle a SodaStream shareholder vote and government regulatory approvals. PepsiCo agreed to pay $144 per share in cash for SodaStream's outstanding stock. This offering is a 32 percent premium on SodaStream's 30-day volume weighted average price.
The acquisition gives PepsiCo a new product line that will see it reach consumers in their homes and not through stores. SodaStream International makes a countertop machine and refillable cylinders that enable users to make their own soda or carbonated water drinks. It also sells over 100 types of concentrated syrups and flavorings used to make carbonated drinks.
The SodaStream buy-in is one of the last big moves by CEO and Chairman Indra Nooyi, who will step down from her CEO post on October 3. Nooyi said PepsiCo and SodaStream are an inspired match. She described SodaStream as an extraordinary company whose technology allows consumers to make great-tasting beverages.
Analysts said this move means PepsiCo has reaffirmed its commitment to its drinks business, which is struggling in the United States due to mounting consumer distaste for sugary, carbonated beverages. The acquisition of SodaStream also means PepsiCo won't cannibalize its legacy beverages such as Pepsi and Mountain Dew.
The deal will allow SodaStream to expand its market through PepsiCo's international distribution network. It currently distributes its products in 80,000 retail stores across 45 countries. Its biggest markets are the U.S., Canada, Germany, and France.
PepsiCo earlier invaded the sparkling water business, launching Bubly earlier this year to fight against LaCroix. SodaStream has capitalized on the growing consumer interest in sparkling water and PepsiCo is eager to profit from this trend.

AT&T says it could deliver mobile commercial 5G services to consumers as soon as late 2018. Previously, the operator had indicated that commercial 5G services would not be ready until late 2019 or even 2020.
In a blog post, AT&T's CTO and President of AT&T Labs Andre Fuetsch praised the 3GPP for fast-tracking the non-standalone 5G New Radio (NR) specification to December 2017 instead of March 2018. This acceleration, Fuetsch said, means that key components of the 5G standards, like chipset development, can be completed months ahead of the full release of the 3GPP Release 15 5G standard.
He added that the December 2017 specification will give vendors and the entire ecosystem "the first complete picture of a holistic 5G system, enabling hardware, chipset, and device manufacturers to start their development earlier."
Competition Heats Up
AT&T's acceleration of its 5G timeline is notable considering Verizon recently accelerated its commercial launch of fixed 5G to year-end 2018. However, Verizon's 5G deployment will not be based upon the 3GPP standard. Last summer Verizon released its 5G specs to potential vendors that are based upon the work of the 5G Tech Forum. Verizon formed the group along with vendors Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, and Apple. That group's goal was to collaborate on some early 5G specifications and contribute those to the 3GPP.
At Mobile World Congress 2017 earlier this month, Adam Koeppe, Verizon's vice president of technology planning, told SDxCentral that if the company's friendly user trials are successful, Verizon could have commercial equipment deployed and live by year-end 2018.
In his post, Fuetsch appears to make a dig at carriers like Verizon that launch non-standard gear. "This leaves customers with potentially obsolete phones and gear. We don't see how that approach benefits customers," he said.
For its part, Verizon has said that its pre-standard 5G spec will not lead to fragmentation. The company has insisted that its partners are involved in the 3GPP standards body and will contribute to the official spec.
Standalone vs. Non-standalone
Fuetsch said that AT&T supports both non-standalone and standalone 5G but the company will initially deploy non-standalone 5G NR and evolve to standalone 5G as part of its Network 3.0 Indigo initiative that it announced earlier this year.
Fuetsch explained that the non-standalone 5G NR standard means that 5G radios will ride on the existing LTE network core but provide advanced features like faster speeds and lower latency. Standalone 5G, meanwhile, uses a new network core that is separate from the LTE network but can work with LTE thanks to added capabilities such as network functions virtualization (NFV), software-defined networking (SDN), and network slicing.
Standalone 5G will be included in the Release 15 standard that the 3GPP will complete in June 2018. Release 15 will also include support for 5G enhanced mobile broadband use cases. Release 16, which is expected to be complete in late 2019, will cover remaining 5G use cases and requirements.
In a recent research note from Michael Thelander of Signals Research, who attended the 3GPP meeting last week in Croatia, he said that the December 2017 release of the non-standalone 5G NR standard will provide enough details on the hardware so that both non-standard NR and standalone NR will meet the Release 15 completion date of June 2018.

This is a continuing series of questions that you need to ask yourself before you engage in SEO strategies or services. Part I started off with Questions that need to be answered if you in-source your SEO campaigns. We specifically addressed questions regarding attempting to perform SEO yourself. Here we'll discuss questions related to splitting the work between yourself, as the business owner, and another party, whether in-sourced or out-sourced.
Question 12: Do I sub out part of it and do the rest myself? If you've determined that doing the SEO yourself, in addition to your other duties, will be too much of a burden, you might consider splitting the duties between yourself and someone else. The benefit here is that you're not taking on the full work-load yourself, you can delegate what you don't want, or even get outside professional advice.
Question 13: Do I delegate in-House or use sub-contractors? If you have a team of people already it could be to your benefit to assign one or more of them partial SEO duties. Of course the workload of each employee must be considered as well so as not to give them more work than they can handle effectively. You also have the option of using sub-contractors and outside experts which can keep your team free to do their primary jobs.
Question 14: What parts do I do myself? When delegating partial SEO duties it will be important to have a full understanding ahead of time how much work you'll retain for yourself and how much will be subbed out. Depending on your own level of experience you may want to do most of the research while leaving the implementation to a web developer. Or you might want to hire some experts to do the detail research and provide you a list of recommendations. Just be sure to know what type of work you can or cannot handle for yourself.
Question 15: What work can be given to the other person(s)? If you're maintaining most of the control over the SEO then its simply a matter of determining what parts to delegate out to whoever. With SEO there are many small pieces to the whole. One person can do copywriting, another editing the pages, another keyword research, and yet another link building. With proper delegation you can find several people to each handle one area or find one person that can do it all. This would also lend to deciding whether to use your own team or outsourcing it to sub-contractors.
Question 16: How do I ensure that all the sub-contractors are working in unison together? When managing your SEO while delegating various aspects to other individuals, you'll need to develop a way to make sure that everyone is working together, as needed. You want to make sure your copywriter uses keywords that were researched and that your SEO reviews what the copywriter has written, and your webmaster implements it on the page properly. This isn't as difficult as it sounds, but it is a matter of establishing a system that works for everyone.
Question 17: How do I know who to blame if my search marketing or optimization doesn't work? When implementing an SEO campaign we don't always get the results we think we should. When you have multiple people working on different aspects of the campaign it's often difficult to figure out when area is causing the campaign to fail. Is the SEO bad or does the site need more links? Is the copywriting not giving users what they want or are the keywords poorly targeted. While there is benefits to having a group work on a single project, the drawback is figuring out who's responsible for what failures.
For the small business owner who can't afford to sub-out the entire SEO campaign, maintaining control while sub-ing out small pieces can be a way to accomplish what needs to be done while keeping a better handle on costs. While you lighten your load and reduce costs, you still retain the burden of making sure the campaign is successful. While that may be worth it to some, it may not be the best route for everyone. In Part III we'll look at questions related to hiring in-house in order to maintain control of your SEO while having a single person maintain responsibility for it's success or failure.

Do you want to buy an apple or an orange? Can you tell the difference between the two? Well, of course you can.
The adage of comparing "apples to apples versus apples to oranges" is used a lot in the printing industry. When a customer solicits estimates for printing they are anticipating somewhat consistent pricing from supplier to supplier. But, because we create a custom product it's not that simple.
An estimate is just that…an estimate of the amount of time and materials we think we'll need to produce your job. We take into consideration the time needed to manipulate your files, show proofs, make plates, buy ink and paper and the manufacturing costs to put all those pieces together to provide the finished piece. Each printing plant has hourly rates based on the costs of their equipment, overhead and talent. Costs also fluctuate shop to shop based on shifts and manufacturing speeds of their equipment. Like every other business our goals are to be competitive yet profitable.
Why is it then that customers are experiencing wide variances in printing estimates from one supplier to another? We talked about that this morning in our weekly sales meeting. In some instances we are missing the expertise of the professional print buyer. Now more than ever I'm talking to Senior Marketing Managers and business owners. Their expertise isn't in printing so now I must quickly and efficiently communicate all the possible nuances that my competitor may have left out of their estimate. If I'm not careful the confusion is too much for the non-experienced and they may just choose the lower price not realizing they are not comparing apples to apples.
Apples and oranges…both are fruit, but very different.

Sentry Fiproguard Max Flea and Tick Control Review
Are you looking for a less expensive alternative to the higher-end spot ons but don't want to leave your pet in misery?
If so, then Fiproguard Max may be just the product that you're looking for.
As a matter of fact, Sentry advertises it exactly that way. Throughout the following paragraphs, we're going to take a look at what they claim, what's in the product and what actual users are saying about it.
Before we get started though, please remember that though this product is made for both dogs and cats of all sizes, you should always use the product designed to suit your pet. Don't ever use dog flea medications on cats, or vice versa because serious reactions, up to and including death, may occur.
Company Claims
According to Sentry, Fiproguard Max kills fleas and ticks faster than Frontline and maintains it's effectiveness for 30 days.
It kills the following:
- Fleas
- Lice (on dogs)
- Ticks
These biting parasites can cause anemia, sarcoptic mange and skin allergies. Ticks are known to carry Lyme disease, so this product also protects your family.
Active Ingredients
Fiproguard Max uses fipronil, the main ingredient in Frontline Top Spot, and also contains cyphenothrin, which kills flea larvae as well.
Usage Information
Apply to dogs, cats, puppies and kittens 12 weeks or older by using the applicator to squeeze all of the product onto one spot between the shoulder blades. Allow 24 hours for it to try before bathing your pet and don't reapply for 30 days. Product is waterproof after the 24-hour waiting period.
Product Warnings and Side Effects
Though side effects are rare with this product, individual sensitivities may occur, including temporary irritation at application site, If your pet has any kind of skin irritation, or broken skin, consult your vet before using this or any other pesticide.
What Do Users Say?
Most people who use Fiproguard Max as a preventative product or to kill a few stray fleas say that the product works beautifully. People with infestations who use this product alone aren't getting great results. Also, Many of the people who report that it didn't work had just bathed their pets prior to application which isn't optimal. The product needs natural oils to properly spread and work.
If you're looking for a preventative flea control product to use regularly, Sentry's Fiproguard Max will probably work just as well for you as the more expensive brands. If you have a major infestation, you need to take more aggressive action that includes killing fleas and flea eggs on your pet, in your home and in your yard. Then you may begin a preventative program.

The Assurance Health & Wellness Center is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sinfonía HealthCare Corporation located at Park and Ajo. Potential limitations in acceptability of medical providers include cultural differences in ideas of modesty and propriety; lack of respect; long clinic waits; and, staff turnover. Bombings, fires and injuries from fighting elevated the number of people needing treatment hugely. And lots of hospitals were themselves broken within the Blitz. The bottom line: Medicare policymakers' optimism will virtually at all times be trumped by provider self-curiosity.

Our hearts are now warmed by an unshakeable certainty which supplies us braveness in the tough however glorious wrestle in opposition to the frequent enemy: no power on the earth will be able to destroy this Cuban Revolution, which is creating within the countryside and in the cities not only a new life but also — and much more important — a New Man, absolutely aware of his nationwide, continental and international rights and duties.

Well this is it...my very last blog post from this house. Tomorrow we set off to our new house and I really must admit, I don't think I'm going to miss this house. I am filled with a lot of trepidation about the new place for various reasons but if I look at it positively then all should be good.
We have had 11 good years here, lots of birthdays, Christmas's and celebrated a lot of milestones. We've been lucky enought to have the best neighbours ever although over the past couple of years a lot of 'originals' have moved so the little street has changed so much. Right at this very minute, the bloke at the top of the street is about to walk out his front door to move after many years of living here so there really is only one 'original' left here in the street.
My kids have made some great friends here, the children (now grown adults) in the street have always been great and all got on so well. Even the ones that have moved keep in contact. Jack had only just turned 3 when we moved in here and was the baby of the street. Now he's a teenager.
In hindsight, it really doesn't feel like we've been here for 11 years although those that know me well know that I've never really 'settled' here. It's just never really felt like home. It is, however, an and of an era for us. The house that all our kids grew into teenagers and for Josh and Rhiannon, adults.
So I shall continue packing the last of it, head down bum up, until we move and I can post again. (Which hopefully won't be too long).
Thank you house for the last 11 years of memories that we will never forget.

Handbook on Medical Tourism and Patient Mobility
Edited by Neil Lunt, Daniel Horsfall and Johanna Hanefeld
The growth of international travel for purposes of medical treatment has been accompanied by increased academic research and analysis. This Handbook explores the emergence of medical travel and patient mobility and the implications for patients and health systems. Bringing together leading scholars and analysts from across the globe, this unprecedented Handbook examines the regional and national experiences of medical tourism, including coverage of the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The chapters explore topics on issues of risk, law and ethics; and include treatment-focused discussions which highlight patient decision-making, patient experience and treatment outcomes for cosmetic, transplantation, dentil, fertility and bariatric treatment.

Chapter 33: Medical tourism developments within Turkey
Sidika Kaya, Seda Karsavuran and Ahmet Yildiz
AbstractTurkey has a considerable share of worldwide tourism, and has become a popular destination more recently in terms of medical tourism. The Turkish healthcare system has gone through a radical structural change since 2003 and Turkey has made significant investments in health services in both the private and public sectors. Data from the Ministry of Health suggest that the number of international patients receiving health services in Turkey grew from 74 000 in 2008 to approximately 262 000 in 2012. Not all patients travelling to Turkey are individuals who pay out-of-pocket. There are also state-state relations and reimbursements. Turkey also provides health services to citizens of the countries that have rights to receive medical help within the scope of the Social Security Agreements and its own citizens living abroad. Turkey has many competitive advantages including high-quality and low-price services, hospitals at international standards and international accreditation, educated and experienced human resources, short waiting times, and its history, geography, attractions and climate that make it popular for visitors. In this chapter, the development and current state of medical tourism, relevant politics and regulation, and the future development of medical tourism in Turkey are examined.

Ivor Frankland, Creative Director of Mansfield Design said: We welcomed the opportunity to work again with the Neptunus team to deliver another outstanding event for our clients at Ford of Europe. We needed a controlled space in which to deliver a number of different experiences for guests, and the Neptunus structure enabled us to do exactly that.

About Us
We are located at 150 Kelly Alley in State College, PA. Kelly Alley is located in-between Fraser and Allen Streets off Beaver Avenue.The shop is well hidden down the brick alleyway parallel and in-between Beaver Avenue and Calder Alley and directly behind Saint's Cafe.
We're open from Noon until 6 PM Monday through Saturday or by appointment.
Give us a call at 814-571-5154 or Email us
Alley Cat Music opened in 1997, we were originally located in Calder Alley. After a few years, we relocated to 122 North Atherton St in State College, PA. In 2005 we closed up shop as partner Junior Tutwiler was constantly on the road with the now defunct Rustlanders. I was busy producing records and busy on the seminar circuit as well. After Junior got off the road and my seminar schedule lightened, we re-opened.
Between Junior and I, we have over 7000 gigs under our belt. I did 15 years touring Europe, Canada, and the Mid-Atlantic with Queen Bee and the Blue Hornet Band averaging nearly 200 nights a year. Junior now holds the guitar chair with Pure Cane Sugar, and I'm playing with Miss Melanie and the Valley Rats. We both play about three or four nights weekly with some travel.
We have always strived to be a shop that nurtured beginner players, as well as the cats who do it for a living and everyone in-between. We have worldwide exclusivity to the G&L ASATcat and Legacy Cat guitars that I designed along with the help of the best guitar and amp guy on the planet Dr. David Sarge. (check out the history of the ASATcat here)
David and I are also involved in the Back Alley Barker Amp company along with Roy Corle. All hand wired, hand tuned solid cherry cabinet tube amps. (see history of the Barker Amps here)
We also have worked really hard on developing our own string line &emdash; Alleycat Righteous Wires. We have a traditional set in 12-54 and 13-56. We also have a bright acoustic set in both the light and medium gauge as well. In the electric department, we have your standard 10-46 set and of course a set of 11's. We are really proud of these and think they can go toe-to-toe with all the big boy string companies. Simply put, they are great sounding, long lasting strings that will stay in tune even when the bar owner is too cheap to turn the heat on.
We love funky old 40s, 50s, and 60s harmonys, Kays, and Silvertone, and Dano guitars. I always have a couple on stage! We try to keep many examples in stock.
We also specialize in used guitars and amps, as well as new and used PA gear, etc. and inexpensive new acoustics, as well as strings, cables, and other accessories.
We want to do right by our customers and EARN their/your business!
Any questions, call 814-571-5154 or Email us. We love to talk guitars and amps!!!

Okay. DOJ, if your reading this, you exceeded the site bandwidth by 200 something gigs of data. Care to explain how that happened?

DOJ wrote:I'm sorry man That sucks you have to pay such a huge fee, I had no idea any of that happened, none at all. All I can think of is my frequent posting perhaps exceeded the bandwidth and that's how it happened.
It can't possibly apply just to me, though; we'd all have to be careful not to exceed a certain number of posts to avoid this from now on. I sure hope this problem can be rectified ASAP, it would suck to not be able to interact regularly on HOJ anymore for everybody because of this.
Raven, all I uploaded were my avatar and profile picture, and that was when I first signed up. Didn't upload anything after that.

DOJ, there would be no point in putting on an act if you did something.

This tells me that people are sick and fed up with feminism - and its self-proclaimed patented brand of "equality" that it has been shoveling into everybody's face for the last 50 years.
Feminism - your days are numbered.
I think the fact that the video has more thumbs down than up calls for a victory dance.
Since I am a member of the secret patriarchy, I plan to do a dance that does the following:
- Objectifies women (pffffft)
- Degrades Women
- Demeans Women
- Expresses Violence Towards Women
- Demonstrates "Rape Culture"
WARNING: If you are a feminist, you may be shocked, offended and appalled by the following video, as in your warped mind, it depicts the degradation of women, the objectification of women, a demeaning portrayal of women, suggests acts of violence against women, and is indicative of "rape culture".

An uncrowded surfing paradise
With over 15 breaks situated around the small town of General Luna in Siargao, the Surf Camp is set up for all abilities. Whether you're dipping your toes into the world of surfing and looking to master the basics, or you're an intermediate surfer looking to escape to crystal clear waters and push your surfing to the next level, Siargao is the surf destination for you! Our Philippines surf adventures will give you the chance to experience life in the surf capital of the Philippines and all this surfing paradise has to offer.
Experience the country's magical zen, serene beauty, friendly people and immaculate waves suitable for all levels of surfer.
A strong essence of surf culture lies in Siargao following its discovery by a few surf pioneers and photographers in the early 80s. The infamous heavy barrelling right hander known as Cloud 9 put Siargao firmly on the global map after it was named and photographed by John Callahan in 1992. Callahan named the spot after the local "Cloud 9" no-melt chocolate bar that they used to buy in General Luna to fuel their surfs. Ever since, a plethora of waves have been discovered and there seems to be no slowing down on new discoveries...
Paddling out for a sunrise session and finding only you and your friends on a peak is a daily occurance. With less competition in the water and no hostility of drop ins, it lets you relax in the water and focus your mind on your surf.
Whether you're your joining us for the 2-Week Camp, or the 3-Week 'Coast to Coast', we have hand picked some incredible accommodation for your stay.
General Luna is the funky little town where we base ourselves for the 2-Week Camp, as well as the first 2-Weeks of the 'Coast to Coast' trip, and is home to a seriously chill vibe, which we're sure you'll grow to love. During the days you're free to walk the empty beaches, embrace a hammock and good book, or jump on a bike and check out the market and its various foody delights (the coconut bread is a must). We want you to embrace all this island has to offer so rest assured we'll be taking you on a few fun excursions both on land and sea throughout the trip.
Harana Surf Resort literally means "To Be Serenaded" and this beautifully new wooden structure ties together a cool, unique, young atmosphere where riders truly experience the locale's serenity, openness and beauty.
Pacifico is where we spend Week 3 of the 'Coast to Coast' adventure, tucked away in the North of Siargao Island with a stretching white sand beach - the quaint, authentic bay of Pacifico first became well known among surfers on the quest for uncharted territory. They found in Pacifico the famous "Big Waves" they were looking for, with the surf break in our front yard coming to be known affectionately as "Big Wish".
Pacifico Beach Resort is our home for the week, located between the natural landscape of the coconut plantation and the rocky cliff. With no neighbour in sight, it's is the perfect place to watch the waves roll in and the sunrise from your terrace. A five minute stroll along the beach will have you arrive in the local barangay (village), the heart and soul of Pacifico, with the local BBQ and a sea of smiling faces and curious children.
ISLAND HOPPING: Take a boat out and go surfing at Daku Island then have a picnic on the beach. On the way back, check out Naked Island, and watch the sunset at Guyam. Boat leaves from peer located in the Boulevard.
MAGPOPONGKO ROCK POOLS: Need a break from surf? Check out the natural rock pools during low tide. It's only about an hour away from General Luna. Rock Pools is excellent for relaxation and renewal.
SOHOTON CAVES: Just south of the surfing spots, Sohoton Cave boasts one of the most beautiful attractions in Siargao. It has everything from pristine lakes, secret coves, beautiful lagoons, and amazing rock and coral formations.
CAOB LAGOON TOUR: Enjoy the beauty of Sugba Lagoons located in Del Carmen. Surrounded by limestone hills, Sugba boasts a 87 hectare area and maintains one of the largest mangrove forests in the Philippines.
VOLUNTEER WORK: Travelling is all about immersing yourself in the cultures of others. There's nothing that can give you a better insight into this than volunteer projects and giving back to the local community. Whether it be beach cleans, building work, reading classes or tree planting, we truly encourage getting involved in these projects, although it is not an included activity in the trip.
DIVING / FREE DIVING: Take dive tours throughout the island from Siargao's Coral Sanctuary, to Shipwrecks. Get your diving certifications while on the island. Palaka Dive Center also offer a Surf Survival Training Course which we highly recommend.

We are often are asked how we go about our reviews of recorded material and what equipment we use. Hopefully, this will shed some light on the matter.
Reviewers will have their own methodology, but at HHH HQ recorded material (CD, tape, Video, DVD etc.) is generally played at least three times before the writing process is begun. This, we feel, is particularly important to avoid rash judgements being made. Some albums require a number of listens to fully appreciate (or not as the case may be). We all have our favourite styles and it is often difficult to disguise enthusiasm for a particular style in a review. However, we at HHH have an appreciation of music in general and understand that if a particular style does not ring our bell, it will hit the mark for other listeners. Consequently, we attempt to provide an unbiased review taking into account musical structure, arrangement, creativity, lyrics and performance to help you, the reader, decide if it may be something you would enjoy. Long established bands that have a well-known back catalogue can be open to greater criticism, which we feel is fair if a new release is not up to the standard expected.
We also try to listen to recordings on different types of equipment (CD Walkman, HI FI, Headphones, PC and I.C.E [car]) as some albums can sound great through, say, HI FI/headphones but maybe not so good on a Walkman (CD production may lean towards HI FI reproduction).
So what equipment is used (for the techies)?
