What is a Healthy Church Member?
- Wednesday, June 11, 2008
This is discussed at greater length in chapter 6, "Seeks Discipline." A committed member is committed to speaking the truth in love to his brothers and sisters, to helping them avoid pitfalls, and to encouraging them in holiness and Christian joy. A committed member will not be wrongly intrusive in the lives of others—a busybody—but he also will not be "hands off" when it comes to caring for and counseling others.
Christians are people who are reconciled to God through Christ. As a consequence, we have been given "the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Cor. 5:18-21). So, a committed member strives to repair breaches as quickly as possible, even before continuing in public worship (Matt. 5:23-24).
Ministers of reconciliation must be patient and longsuffering. They must be characterized by meekness such that they do not think more highly of themselves than they ought (Matt. 5:5). They must hold up under the weight of disappointments, frustrations, loss, attack, slander, and offense (Matt. 18:21-22; Rom. 15:1). By carrying each others' burdens we fulfill the law of Christ (Gal. 6:2).
One privilege of church membership is participating in Christ's ordinances—baptism and communion. Moreover, these privileges give us visible proclamations of the good news that Christ died for sinners and rose again to eternal life. So it's a great tragedy that many Christians neglect the ordinances that Jesus himself established 2,000 years ago. A committed member rejoices at the baptism of new believers, and he examines his heart in preparation for joining the family of God at the Lord's Table. He receives these spiritual exercises as means of grace, means that give visible testimony to the effect of the gospel in his life and the life of the gathered church.
A committed member gives resources, time, and talent to the furtherance of the gospel in the local church. He lives out the Bible's call to the body of Christ. "We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully" (Rom. 12:6-8). A healthy, committed church member receives and applies the grace of God by working to support the ministry of the local church and excels in giving what he has already received from God to gospel work. He should follow the example of the Macedonians, who committed to a financial giving strategy that was sacrificial, generous, increasing over time, and fueled by faith in God despite present circumstances (2 Cor. 8-9). What do we have that we did not first receive from God? What do we have that we should not be willing to give back to him in worship?
To fail to associate ourselves in a lasting and committed way with the Head of the church by joining his body is surely a sign of ingratitude, whether from an uninformed or a dull heart. We who have the privilege of living in countries where we may freely join a local church should keep this admonition from Dietrich Bonhoeffer in mind:
"It is by the grace of God that a congregation is permitted to gather visibly in this world to share God's Word and sacrament. Not all Christians receive this blessing. The imprisoned, the sick, the scattered lonely, the proclaimers of the Gospel in heathen lands stand alone. They know that visible fellowship is a blessing. They remember, as the Psalmist did, how they went 'with the multitude . . . to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday (Ps. 42:4) … Therefore, let him who until now has had the privilege of living in common Christian life with other Christians praise God's grace from the bottom of his heart. Let him thank God on his knees and declare: It is grace, nothing but grace, that we are allowed to live in community with Christian brethren.

Harappa Town Planning
Harappa Town Planning, Indus Valley Civilization
Harappa Town Planning reveals various interesting facts which are obtained by the archaeologists to ascertain the civic organisations of the ancient city.
Harappa Town Planning is one of the most outstanding and remarkable features of
and the
Indus Valley Civilization
, which is located in Northwest India and Pakistan. The Town Planning of Harappan civilization reveals that the civic organisations of the city were highly developed and even at the present age, the sites are special attractions for archaeologists. Archaeological surveys have revealed several interesting facts about Harappa Town Planning. In the 3rd decade of the present century, archaeological investigations had been conducted at
, which have brought out many interesting observations. As per excavations the Harappan planning dates five thousand years back.
Indus valley civilization
is considered to be the earliest urban civilisation and is at par with the western civilisation. The people at that time were technologically advanced and very knowledgeable in the laying out of the construction of the city as a whole.
The Harappan civilisation developed upon the banks of the
Indus River
. Many recently conducted excavations at
and Ropar in Punjab have discovered many relics, which are quite similar to the ones of the Indus valley, and this establishes a link that may be the ancient civilisation was not only confined to the Indus valley but also extended to the north-western region of the country also. The ruins of the old city give an impression that the city was destroyed as well as rebuilt several times. The inhabitants of the region practiced different trades for their economic prosperity out of which agriculture was the most important. Artistry was also encouraged.
Town Planning in Harappa
The roads, dwelling houses, large buildings and forts were very well executed. People followed a system of centralised administration. The houses were even protected from sounds, odours, and thieves. The streets were formed in grid system. Similar sized bricks were used for construction of buildings; wood and stone were also used in buildings. Municipal authorities maintained effective drainage system. Harappan town planning had the insertion of many travelling houses which ranged from two roomed to large buildings. Houses were properly placed on both sides of the roads, and also in the lanes. The doors of the houses opened in the lanes and not on the roads. The houses were built on plinths that rose above the street level with stairs recessed at the wall at the front door. The house planning did not let any hindrance on the roads so everything was well organized.
There were the government houses which were differently executed, dwelling houses which ranged from single to several stories with many rooms, public baths. At Harappa many rooms consisting of two chambers around the courtyard of a dwelling house have been discovered, which are meant for the staying of the labourers. From the economic point of view, it can be assumed that agriculture was their primary profession. This is evident from the availability of the granary in the city. The granary was constructed on the high foundation of the burnt bricks. The city of Harappa had defensive outer walls. The fortress was the centre of important buildings; most of these settlements were built of bricks, chiselled stones and burnt bricks. The citadels faced the west, which acted like sanctuaries at the time of aggression and during peace they played the role of community centres.
The Harappan town had very good drainage and sanitary system. The main drain was associated with each and every house ensuring the proper dumping of waste. In order to check the maintenance, inspection holes were provided. The drains were covered and connected to the bigger sewerage outlets, which ensured the channel of dirt out of the city.
Effects of Harappa Town Planning
Harappa Town Planning has stunned the archaeologists worldwide. It has become a landmark for the contemporary civilisation when technological advancements have been made which is helping to achieve great heights. It has inspired the contemporary generation. The concept of bathing pools and granaries gives a glimpse of the modern day swimming pools and storehouses where grains can be stored. It was a proper furnished city. This facilitated the Harappa dwellers to live a luxurious life with proper sanitation and regulation.
Safe transport and proper travelling facilities were provided due to the well laid roads which did not obstruct communication.

Sonority is a way of classifying sounds in language based on how they're produced, basically how open or closed the various parts of your mouth are when you're producing them. Language sounds can be placed in a continuum from the really vowel-y vowels, like /a/, to the really consonant-y consonants, like /p/, with fuzzier sounds like /w/ and /n/ somewhere in between. Since I couldn't find a good explanation online, I wrote one based on how I explain it when I'm teaching.
A note before starting: it will help a LOT if you say every sound that I mention aloud, maybe several times, paying attention to where your mouth is rather than taking my word for it. Whispering or mouthing the sounds is okay but not ideal because you'll lose some of the distinctions (especially voicing). Just say 'em out loud: it is a rite of passage for every budding linguist to have their fellow bus passengers or cafe-goers or library patrons look at them in confusion. You'll be okay.
Let's start with vowels. Vowel are the most sonorous, because your mouth is as open as possible. If you want to see the most obvious example, try saying aaaaaaahhh like you're at the dentist. Why does a dentist ask you to say "aaaahhh"? Because they want your mouth to be as open as possible, and that's what the low back vowel /ɑ/ is going to do. When you say /ɑ/, your jaw is dropped, your lips are spread, your tongue is relaxed at the bottom of your mouth. Sonorous.
Even the other vowels that require a little more constriction are still really sonorous. Let's try a long /i/ as in cheese: why do people say cheese when taking a picture? Because your lips are spread, your mouth is open but your jaw isn't dropped very far, and you look like you're smiling or laughing. And it's no problem to hold /i/ or /ɑ/ or any of the other vowels for a long time on a single note until you run out of breath. They're practically designed for singing. (Incidentally, this is sometimes why people describe certain languages like Italian as "musical": because they have a high ratio of vowels to consonants.)
Linguists often lump all of the vowels together into a single group of the most sonorous sounds, although if you want to you can split them into low vowels like /ɑ/ (most sonorous) > mid vowels like /e/ and /o/ (slightly less sonorous) > high vowels like /i/ and /u/ (even less sonorous).
What happens when you take one of those least-sonorous high vowels and add just a little bit more constriction?
Let's start with the /i/ in cheese: if you make a really long /i/ and then let yourself stop gradually, you'll probably hear the /iiiiiii/ turn into a "y" sound as in yes. The IPA symbol for this sound is /j/, which is confusing for English-speakers but it neatly helps remind us that the /j/ sound is really just the little flick at the end of /i/. You also get this effect naturally in words that have /i/ plus another vowel in hiatus, such as cafeteria or Julia. You'll automatically put a little /j/ in between the /i/ and the /a/. (Well, that final a is actually a schwa but let's ignore that for here.)
We can do the same thing with /u/ as in boot: if you make a really long /u/ and release it gradually, you'll probably hear it turn into a /w/ sound. Have you ever wondered why the name for this symbol is double-u not double-v? Well, it's because its sound is a variant of /u/, not a variant of /v/, and it was originally written "uu" (v and u were the same in Latin anyway). You can also get the /w/ showing up when a /u/ is next to another vowel, as in Padua or Quechua.
So the sounds /j/ and /w/ are almost vowels, but not quite, which means that they're the next-lowest thing in sonority, and also gives rise to their name semivowels (also known as glides or approximants).
Getting gradually lower in sonority and more closed in the mouth, are a group of sounds known as liquids (sometimes linguists talk about liquids and glides together as approximants, and sometimes they also split liquids into rhotics, or r-like sounds, and laterals, or l-like sounds).
The two liquids in English are /l/ and /r/ (more technically /ɹ/, but since English doesn't have any other r-like sounds, people sometimes just use plain r since it's easier to type). If you say /rrrrrr/ you can feel that your mouth is partially constricted but still has a pretty big open space. If you say /llllll/, you'll actually feel your tongue coming up in the middle to touch the roof of your mouth right behind your teeth, but leaving lots of space open on the sides where the air passes out, hence the name "lateral". It's not too hard to hold a note on either /r/ or /l/ for a while.
Now we're going to take a slight detour into the nose to talk about nasals. Nasal sounds are produced by blocking off air from leaving the mouth entirely (Look, closure!) and instead letting air out the nose. Try saying /mmmmm/ or /nnnnn/ and holding your hand in front of your mouth and nose. You should feel air from your nose, but not from your mouth. So we've clearly gotten more closed (and hence less sonorous) than back with the liquids and glides, but there's still a big open space in your nose where air can pass through, and that means that you can hold a note on /m/ or /n/ (or also /ŋ/ as in sing).
Back to the mouth. What happens if we make a teeny tiny opening with the lips or tongue and allow just a little bit of air through? Well, depending on where in the mouth you make this opening, you could end up with /f/ or /v/ or /s/ or /z/ or /ʃ/ as in she or /ʒ/ as in Asia or /θ/ as in thing or /ð/ as in then or /x/ as in Bach or /h/. These are all known as fricatives, from the friction that this tight constriction forces the air into as it passes out your mouth.
But whoa! What just happened? We used to have only a couple of examples in each category and now we have lots! We have just made an important jump in the sonority hierarchy: the switch from sonorants to obstruents. Sonorants are the whole group of pretty-sonorous sounds, including vowels, glides, liquids, and nasals, while obstruents are the group of not-very-sonorous sounds, including fricatives, affricates, and stops, the last two of which I'll get to in a sec.
An important difference between sonorants and obstruents is that while sonorants are basically always voiced, obstruents are commonly found in voiceless-voiced pairs, like /s/ and /z/. (Put your hand on your throat and compare the buzzing feeling that you get when you say /zzzz/ with the lack of buzzing when you say /ssss/ — but you'll always get buzzing, aka voicing, when you say /aaaa/ or /nnnn/. Don't try this in a whisper. For more on voicing, see here). Being able to use voicing as a parameter means that it's easy to divide up the obstruents into more types.
So how do we get even more closed than a tiny gap for air? What would happen if we closed our mouths entirely? Obviously, this can't be the only thing, because if you just close your mouth and ignore your nose, you'll both a) suffocate and b) not make any sounds. Not so great.
However, it is entirely healthy to close your mouth and trap up the airflow provided that you only do it for a very short period of time, and that's exactly what this type of sound does. These are known as stops (or plosives) from the idea of stopping the air and creating a little tiny explosion when you finally let your mouth open. Some examples are /p/ and /b/, /t/ and /d/, /k/ and /g/ (notice the voiceless-voiced pairs again!). You can't get any more closed than literally completely blocked off, so that's the least sonorous you can get.
But wait! We've missed one! I've saved affricates for last because they're basically a combination of a stop plus a fricative: first you completely block off the air, but then you release it slowly to create a fricative (think of the "a" in affricate as standing for "almost" a fricative).
Let's try making an affricate: start with a /t/ and then rather than quickly letting your tongue leave the roof of your mouth, just let a tiny little bit of air out. Depending on how you point the air, you could end up with either /tsssss/ or /tʃʃʃʃʃʃ/. There isn't really a proper /ts/ affricate in English (although try tsunami if you pronounce it very carefully) but there is a very robust /tʃ/ affricate which is often spelled "ch" as in chat. If you start with a /d/ and go to a /z/ or /ʒ/, you can get /dz/ which isn't really found in English or /dʒ/ which is found twice in judge. Sonority-wise, affricates are found between fricatives and stops, which shouldn't come as a huge surprise.
Final comments: you'll notice that unlike our sonorants way up above, it's really hard to hold a note on an obstruent unless you add a vowel. You can make /sssss/ but you can't sing it. In English, sonorants can also be a syllable on their own (e.g. bottle: bot-l /bɑt.l̩/, or button: but-n /bʌt.n̩/) but you can't do that with an obstruent.
Further resources: an illustration of the sonority hierarchy, a list of sounds in English and their category, an explanation of voicing, an explanation of vowels in English, some mnemonics for these terms I've bolded, and this really elaborate Venn diagram. Even more resources are also found in the phono link round-up in the protolinguist series.

Have you ever written your mortgage payment and thought what you could do with that money if you were free and clear of that debt? How wonderful it would be if you could pay your house off and then sell it and not owe any lending institution any of that money? Wouldn't it be wonderful to pay a thirty year mortgage in ten years or less? It is possible and I am going to show you how to do it!
Today, as I spoke to a young man, the Lord led me to share my testimony of how God led hubby and me to become debt free. He told me I should write about it because few people his age knew this one small trick in doing just that! I had no idea that not many young people know about this until he told me. I was happy to tell him and I would love to share it with you as well.
When we started out with one of our first homes, we had no idea about borrowing money, principles, interests, etc.. I had no idea that for years we had paid nothing on our home itself, but instead all of our money was being wasted on interest! Instead of a mortgage payment, you could have called it an interest payment.
When I found out how long we had to go to actually pay our house off, it was almost sickening! Thousands and thousands of dollars was going straight to the bank, instead of paying down our house!
The Lord led us to get out of debt years ago. Now, I am not telling you to do this, but for hubby and me it was what God wanted for us. We had almost drowned in debt and if it had not been for the goodness of God we would have gone bankrupt! There were times I could not even buy groceries our money was so tight!
We always tithed and gave an offering, and thank God we had the good sense to do that. Just about the time I could put going to the grocery store off no longer, there would be a check in the mail from our insurance company either saying we had overpaid or we had met our deductible and had paid too much to the doctor. That is before we walked in the complete knowledge of healing, but that is another post!
One day I went to the Lord in tears. There is no pressure in this world like financial pressure! It is no fun being poor and doing without and it is even worse when you see your children doing without! I cried out to Him and told Him we had to have His help. I had seen other tithers and givers who had plenty of money and then some besides! I didn't understand why we were barely scraping by. It just didn't seem fair.
God was so merciful and gracious to me when He answered me. He told me we were spending more than we realized and it was wasteful spending. He had me get out our charge CARDS. We had more than one and that was a great deal of the problem. Many times it is tempting, especially when you are young and don't really realize how fast money can slip through your fingers, to not cash a check before you go out to eat or to the movies. Whatever the case may be, it is so easy to slip that plastic out of your wallet. It is convenient until you get the bill. What is bad is many will max out one charge card and turn around and get another and, before you know it, that one is maxed out as well and you are now drowning in a sea of debt. Let me add, we did not have a debit card. I knew if I had one, it would be as if I had written a check and failed to write the amount down. We just were not comfortable with the possibility we could overdraw our account.
The Lord had me get together all of our bills and put them down on paper. As I began to look at our charge cards, it was obvious they were the culprit. I began to see a pattern of where we were going wrong. We would go out to eat, and we were amassing a debt of about one hundred dollars a weekend in eating out and 'recreational' activities. BAM! The problem was so simple.
As those 'weekend outings' began to pile up to the sound of 100.00 a weekend and we were paying the minimum on our charge cards, soon I discovered we were over 8,000.00 in debt to charge cards alone. This did not include our car notes, day care, or household expenses. We were in over our heads and we were drowning.
God in all of His grace and mercy began to show me how to budget. I had never been able to stick with one before, but I knew God had heard my cries and was giving great grace to me. I went to my husband and showed him where we were going wrong and what God had said to do about it.
God told us we could only go out to eat once a month and it HAD to be cash or we couldn't do it. I learned how to cook during this time. Little did I know one day I would be a contributing writer for a nationally known recipe site. God takes even our biggest goof ups and brings us great blessings through them.
At the end of one month, after budgeting not only on the food bill, but cutting some other corners, we had actually saved 800.00. When I showed my husband that figure at the end of the month we both cried and praised God. God told us to take that 800.00 and pay it on the charge card that had the smallest amount of debt. Within about 3 months the card was paid off.
After paying off the first charge card, God told us to take the full amount of money we had paid on it, along with what would have been the minimum payment and begin paying it on the second and largest one. When we did, we were able to pay the 8000.00 in debt down in just under a year. We went from seeing no end to being DEBT FREE with charge cards to being debt free in less than 12 months! Glory to God!
At this point we were able to take the money we had paid on the cards and we began to apply it to the principle on our house payment. We went from a thirty year mortgage to having our house paid off in 11 years!! Another miracle for us.
If you can just pay 200.00 a month on your principle, you would be shocked at how quickly your debt will dwindle! It won't be long until you will be holding the deed to your home in your hand instead of the lending institution holding it in theirs!
We had to learn that you HAVE to mark how much is your monthly payment and how much is your principle payment. Often banks will apply that to your next mortgage payment instead of putting it toward the principle. This does you no good. Make sure you earmark it and double check with the bank and triple check by closely examining your bank statement!
You may feel as though you are drowning, but there is a way out! If we can do it, so can you! Remember, we had God's mercy and His Word working in our favor by doing what God commanded in being tithers and givers! We paid our tithe straight off the top! You cannot afford to not tithe! Try God in this and see if He is not faithful to you. I am proof He is!
Since we sold our house, we have occupied a travel trailer until the quest for our new home is over. I have noticed some unexpected things with our new lifestyle and one is, I am not getting the nutrients I need. I noticed I was craving vegetables and fruit. This got my attention because I don't like fruit!
Since my pregnancies, 25 plus years ago, I had heard you crave what your body needs. If you are craving something, your body is missing a key nutrient found in that food. I have heard a great deal about smoothies lately. Soon I became so preoccupied with the 'smoothie' idea, I decided to research it. I found smoothies offer a full days supply of vegetables and fruit and give you many key nutrients with just one serving.
Today is my second day, and I must say, I do feel a difference for the better. I don't feel anything earth shattering, but I do feel I have more energy and I have noticed a considerable reduction in stomach acid and much less acid reflux. This does surprise me!
This is my recipe, if you would like to break out your blender, too!
I start with half of a banana, 1-2 large strawberries, 1 cup packed spinach, 1/4 of an avocado, and 2 teaspoons of peanut butter. I do use a small amount of bottled water to make sure it is smooth and not a chunky consistency.
This is the result of my nutritious blend. It is good, not spectacular. I still have some experimenting to do. I am not a big fan of bananas, so they will probably be replaced soon with pineapple. I will let you know how it goes as I go! Just feeling better is enough for me to say, 'Bottoms up!'
Blessings, dear reader! See you soon!!
Super Bowl is February 2!! We all know that is the 'Black Friday' of football season where snack foods are concerned. Being at a total loss for my Super Bowl menu, my lovely daughter stepped in with a great suggestion!
Let me go ahead and preface this with I do not want to hear from health food fanatics this year about how unhealthy ONE DAY out of the year may be, because I did have ONE last year! This is Super Bowl and if you want to celebrate it with 'health' food, please move on to a health food blog! Now on to our SUPER BOWL FAN BUNCH, and my daughter will take it from here!!
You will need:
1-2 cans crescent rolls
spaghetti or pizza sauce (whichever you can find)
grated cheese, preferably mozzarella
1 package pepperoni
This is what you do:
Preheat oven to whatever it says on the package of crescent rolls. Roll out on a greased baking sheet. Spread the sauce evenly. Add pepperoni, or meat of your choice. Sprinkle cheese on top of the meat and roll as usual. Bake for the amount of time it calls for. Goes great with Ranch dressing for dipping or marinara! Enjoy!!
Dips of any kind are always popular at this time. I say make it easy on yourself and do a Ranch dip or an easy cream cheese with crab and cocktail sauce…yummy!
I found this by accident on a blog that is no longer managed. I was so sad to see it abandoned! It had this picture, but the webpage could not be found! I went in search using google and http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2011/10/easy-15-minute-apple-cinnamon-rolls.html came to my rescue! I love this site and encourage you to visit it! They have some REALLY neat stuff!! I am going to do this when we go camping! This with a hot coffee in 27 degree weather sounds divine! Enjoy!!
Ingredients: 1 can apple pie filling 1 tube package cinnamon rolls (found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store- mine had 8 rolls) frosting (included with the cinnamon rolls)
Directions: Open package and place cinnamon rolls 2″ apart in a lightly greased 9×13″ baking pan. Scoop a large spoonful of apple pie filling on top of each cinnamon roll.

Pic from "Damned" (Chuck Palahniuk)
1) Emily asks later if Corey Haim is seeing anybody, LOL.
2) Of course you're not dating him, my little Madison, he's waiting for me! ;-)
Palahniuk's Damned: pic from my one in paper xD
"They're here" ==> Poltergeist moment for Wolfgang (Phoenix worked after this one with Heather O'Rourke, LOL)
I could only think of boy names, each one making me angrier: Randall, Russell, Rudolph, River-fucking- Phoenix
—Stephen king, duma key (via moochingwarwidows)
"Have you met my friend Carl? He's a computer hacker!" - Quoting Zooey Deschanel in Yes Man. x)
Hahaha, really? GREAT xD
The Hell Evidence xD (cap from "Damned")
Permanent Woodstock, yeah.
And I'm gonna be sent there, for sure! I can't wait
More "Tesis": really, his fucking name (MOPI poster) in the middle of THE seduction scene. That can't be a coincidence! xD
If I ever meet the director (Amenábar) I'll ask him if he's a fanboy and if he would have wanted River for remaking his film (obviously impossible, is a 1996 movie).
This is killing me: IMDb movie connections for MOPI.
- "A clockwork orange": I get it, the sex scenes, especially Udo Kier one.
- "Taxi driver": whores/hustlers, the scene when Kier arrives with the car.
- "Blue velvet": the flowers? I mean, I can think of "Blue velvet" references even in "Explorers" (gas masks) but here I'm missing something. I need HELP!
- Hehehe, "Tesis" there. You know, the poster in the sexy scene. And you also know Phoenix would have been my perfect Bosco for the USA remake :´) (but this is a personal one, just in my mind).
Someone helps me with the "Blue velvet" one?

Schalke win, Bremen tie in German Bundesliga
Schalke's comfortable 3-0 win shoved Hamburg into relegation battle while Bremen were held to a goalless draw at Braunschweig to close the 18th round of the German Bundesliga football.
Schalke reaped their ninth win of the season to jump from seventh to fifth place owing to their 3-0 away victory at Hamburg Sunday, reports Xinhua.
The "Hanseaten" hoped for a better start into 2014 but all their hopes were destroyed as they slumped on 16th position, a relegation playoff spot, suffering their 10th loss of the season.
Dutch international Klaas Jan Huntelaar smoothed the triumph for the "Royal Blues" when he opened the scoring at the 34th minute. The Dutchmen headed home his first goal after a five-month injury break following a cross by Jefferson Farfan into the box.
The "Rothosen" started with more confidence into the second half but it was again Schalke that added the second goal to their lead. Peruvian international Jefferson Farfan made use of a total blackout by Hamburg's defence to slot the ball into the open goal at the 53rd minute.
The second goal took the wind out of Hamburg's sails as Schalke's youngster Max Meyer finished a turnover to beat custodian Jaroslav Drobny with a deflected effort to make it 3-0 on the scoreboards, only three minutes later.
The hosts nearly scored their consolation but the right post denied Milan Badelj's hammer from 18 meters. It is the fourth straight loss for Hamburg whereas Schalke is back in the international business.
"We have to be clear in our minds that we are only fighting against relegation," Hamburg coach Bert van Marwijk said.
Elsewhere, Bremen were held to a goalless draw at Braunschweig. Bremen sit on 11th place with 20 points while Braunschweig vegetate in the Bundesliga basement with just 12 points out of 18 games.
"That was not enough today. We started quite good into the game but from the 60th minute on we became weaker," Bremen coach Robin Dutt said.

Rest in Peace little Brother. This World never deserved you. I will long for the day I can join you in paradise. Forever in our hearts, prayers, and mind. Love you.
Thank you everyone for your love and support every step of the way. The tenacity the World, especially NYC, has shown in regards to finding Avonte and spreading awareness has been unmatched in comparison to any other Missing Child investigation. For that we are forever grateful to you.
Cause of death is still pending investigation, however please allow my family and I space and time to mourn Avonte. Bombarding us with questions and theories do not help. Furthermore, the answers to those questions/theories will not bring him back. We appreciate you all. Thank you for the prayers. God bless, and may Avonte rest in peace.
…in my thoughts & prayers.

Local residents may be able to drive golf carts on public roadways in Oldham County despite safety concerns after all.
After a 7-to-1 vote by members of the Oldham County Fiscal Court June 15, a red light was issued concerning a proposed ordinance to permit the use of golf carts on public roadways in Oldham County.
But not so fast.
Fourth District Magistrate Steve Greenwell said the Kentucky General Assembly recently revised the original golf cart ordinance and the court will discuss it at the July 7 fiscal court meeting.
Three Crestwood students were named to the Lipscomb University honor roll for the spring semester.
• Casey Burkhart, a South Oldham High School graduate studying mechanical engineering;
• Kyle Kraemer, a SOHS graduate studying accounting; and
• Molly Newman, a Christian Academy of Louisville graduate studying mathematics.
To be named to the university's honor roll, students must earn a 3.5 grade-point average.
The La Grange City Council will host a discussion and public comment on the crossing modifications/closings/quiet zone for CSX at the council's July meeting. The council will meet at 6:30 p.m. July 6 in the fiscal court courtroom.
David Golemboski recently earned a masters of theological studies degree from Harvard Divinity School.
Golemboski is a 2003 graduate of Oldham County High School and a graduate of the University of Louisville.
He is the son of Dan and Karen Golemboski of La Grange.
Emily Kopper of Prospect was named to the dean's list at Baldwin-Wallace College for the spring semester.
To be named to the dean's list, students must earn a 3.5 grade-point average.
An Oldham County grand jury recently handed up the following indictments:
• Brandon Meredith, 19, indicted on charges of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and trafficking in a controlled substance within 1,000 yards of a school.
According to the indictment, on Aug. 22, he allegedly possessed with intent to sell methadone. On Aug. 21, he allegedly possessed with intent to sell Alprazolam within 1,000 yards of a school.
New laws approved during the Kentucky General Assembly's 2009 regular session go into effect today (Thursday).
That means home health agencies in Kentucky will soon be required to conduct criminal background checks on employees, sex offenders will be banned from Facebook, and flags purchased by state and local governments must be made in the U.S.A.
The Huntington Learning Center in Crestwood recently began its summer reading program, "Fun in the Sun."
Shelbyville Police have arrested the man they believe is responsible for numerous recent break-ins at businesses in Henry, Spencer, Oldham, Jefferson, Shelby, Nelson and surrounding counties. Robert Eugene Weathers, 40, of Springfield, was arrested Wednesday and could be charged with perhaps 30 burglaries in a six-county area. Weathers is on parole after being convicted in a similar spree of crimes in Nelson County six years ago, and police appear convinced he is responsible for the break-ins and thefts that hit 15 businesse
Nancy Kingery of Ballardsville and Tom Hopkins of Louisville announce their engagement.
The bride-elect is an artist and retired secretary and sales associate. She is a graduate of Oldham County High School and Jefferson Community College.
The groom-elect graduated from Waggener High School and Western Kentucky University, where he earned a master's degree. He owns Heritage Nursery and is a former Jefferson County elementary school teacher.
The wedding will be 5 p.m. June 27 at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Todds Point.

from Optimal Health Systems
The highest and most effective physical and mental energy producing product available!
No synthetically produced caffeine or vitamins
No added caffeine
No jitters or mid-day crash
Optimal Natural Vitality
creates extreme energy with great focus by supplying specially grown, highly potent green tea with whole foods. In addition, Optimal Health System's unique cultured media fermentation process creates high potency B vitamin delivery without synthetics.
Do you know that energy drinks, hourly energy formulas and synthetic caffeines are BAD for you?
Do you take them anyway because you want an energy boost? Now you don't have to with
Natural Vitality!
We listened to our customers' desire for an even more powerful energy formula. Up till now, the only way to create higher energy from a formula was to ADD IN synthetic or single-form caffeine. Although this is what the hourly energy drinks do, OHS would not compromise our whole-food stance. Now, we have discovered the ultimate whole food-high energy blend and the results are amazing!
This advanced Natural Vitality formula utilizes a custom grown, highly-potent green tea combined with over 50 other whole-food nutrients. Ensuring bioavailability this blend creates high amounts of sustained energy and focus. Each capsule now provides the caffeinated power of a full cup of coffee--but without any synthetic or separately-added caffeine! Start with just one capsule in the morning and early afternoon to allow the body to get used to these potent whole food B vitamins and herbs.
All nutrients are cultured in a whole food blend of stabilized probiotics, plant enzymes, and antioxidant foods. This guarantees our commitment to no synthetic vitamins, minerals or caffeine, unlike other hourly energy supplements.
Natural Vitality provides the body with the deficient nutrients, and it does it through pre-digesting the nutrients with its Opti-Blend Delivery System. This blend consists of specific amounts of enzymes and minerals to drive the nutrients to the cellular level quickly.
You will feel the effects of increased focus, motivation and energy within 20 minutes of taking Natural Vitality. It is a product for which you can easily adjust the dosage and times of use based on your own particular needs.
Take a look at some of our own staff's testimonials:
"After a constant battle to quit using synthetic caffeine, I have finally found the whole answer. I have fought urges my entire adult life to use synthetic forms of caffeine after abusing it for most of my late teens and early 20's. Natural Vitality gives me the same energy level as those synthetic forms (energy drinks/caffeine pills) without the jitters and side effects. What an amazing product!"
--Hilary G.
"Natural Vitality has helped me get through the week and not feel exhausted, even while dealing with stressful family issues."
--Glelia L.
Note: Normal dose is 1-2 capsules, depending on the individual. Like all herb-based products, however, dosage needs to be tailored to each individual's needs and can be increased. We recommend starting with one capsule and increasing the dosage to 2 or 3 capsules if initial dose did not have significant results.
Try Natural Vitality for mid-afternoon sluggishness, or early mornings in place of stimulants such as caffeine and sugar. Also great for getting energized for a workout. Try taking it 20 minutes before exercising!

There are few things that we at MuchMusic love more than unexpected collaborations and it seems like there is a doozy in the works between Tom Jones and The Killers.
The singer, most famous for his hit "It's Not Unusual," played at the 2010 Latitude Festival in England and said backstage that he has been chatting with The Killers' lead singer Brandon Flowers. "He said he admired what I'd done in my career. There's a connection there because he's from Las Vegas, and of course I've performed there so many times over the years," Jones said.
Flowers has been busy with his own solo work but Jones says he will be ready to collaborate whenever they find a song that fits. "The material has to be right. That's always been my main concern, with whichever people I've worked with," he said.
The world is going to have to try hard to beat this as most awesome news of the day.

#1400 Band of Outsiders X Sperry – not your typical boat shoes
I dub this the week of shoes. It's like every time I load up a new website there's at least one covet-worthy pair. This time it's the Band of Outsiders X Sperry Fall 2010 collection. The range is pretty low-key – just boat shoes and loafers, but they're all made from the most awesome fabrics imaginable, like corduroy, sheepskin and wool melton. It's like they've taken the American classics and dragged them through the English countryside. My jam. My favourites are the corduroy boat shoes, above. Unlike the traditional Sperry Topsider, they have two sets of lace holes and a set of hooks. It's a small detail, but it makes all the difference. I'm obsessed.
Full collection, below.

Appellate Court Reverses Securities Fraud Claim and Permanent Bar Against Former FINRA Board Member Richard Goble
BOCA RATON, Fla., May 30, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed a District Court's Judgment which found that former FINRA board member Richard Goble, founder and owner of North American Clearing, Inc. ("NACI") engaged in securities fraud, announced his counsel Eric Lee of Lee & Amtzis, P.L. The Appellate Court also reversed the injunction and permanent bar issued by the District Court against Goble.
NACI was a Florida corporation founded in 1995 with its principal place of business in Longwood, Florida. NACI was a correspondent brokerage firm registered with the SEC since 1995. NACI acted as the clearing firm for approximately 40 small brokerage firms and cleared transactions for more than 10,000 customer accounts valued at more than $500 million. At the time the SEC filed its original Complaint in 2008, Goble had no compliance or regulatory violations nor any prior warnings by FINRA or the SEC. Goble was a member of FINRA's board of directors. GOBLE was also a vocal critic of actions being taken by FINRA at the time, including actions taken by Mary Shapiro who later became head of the SEC. As a result of the SEC's action, Goble was forced to resign from the FINRA Board.
On May 27, 2008, the SEC obtained an asset freeze and other emergency relief due to allegations of fraudulent misconduct at NACI. The SEC filed a Complaint against GOBLE, NACI's President, Bruce B. Blatman ("Blatman"), and its former financial and operations principal, Timothy J. Ward ("Ward"), charging them with fraud and other securities laws violations. The SEC's Complaint alleged that the defendants engaged in illegal activities, including the misuse of customer funds, in order to hide NACI's financial problems and to pay for its daily business operations. In addition to the asset freeze, the SEC obtained a temporary restraining order against the defendants and an order appointing a receiver over NACI.
After a five day trial in May 2010, on April 27, 2011, the District Court entered its bench trial opinion, which found Goble liable for committing securities fraud and for aiding and abetting securities laws violations. The District Court permanently restrained and enjoined Goble for violating securities rules and regulations and barred Goble from engaging in the securities industry in the future. In its April 2011 opinion, the District Court rejected the SEC's argument that NACI improperly sold customer money market funds to pay its daily operating expenses. However, the District Court found that Goble committed securities fraud based on a single May 13, 2008 transaction, which also resulted in its finding that Goble aided and abetted securities laws violations.
In its decision, the Eleventh Circuit found that the transaction at issue was not the result of any misrepresentation and that the transaction was not in connection with the purchase or sale of securities. The Eleventh Circuit thus determined, as a matter of law, that Goble did not commit securities fraud. The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the claim that Goble aided and abetted Ward and Blatman in violating the books and records requirements of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78q(a), and Rule 17a-3, 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-3, which required NACI to maintain accurate records. The Appellate Court also vacated the District Court's injunction that barred Goble from procuring a securities license, engaging in the securities business or violating § 10(b) or Rule 10b-5. The Court also vacated portions of the injunction requiring compliance with the Exchange Act rules.
The Eleventh Circuit's opinion, issued almost four years to the day after the SEC shut down NACI, vindicates Goble. Based on the District Court's original Judgment and the Eleventh Circuit's reversal, the SEC shut down a substantial clearing firm that had over 40 correspondent brokers and serviced over 10,000 customer accounts based solely on a single incident of a books and records violation.
"After fighting for four years to clear his name, Goble has finally established that he did not commit securities fraud and did not improperly utilize customer funds," said Eric Lee.

Vincent Jackson was able to reach a one year deal with an undisclosed team but the Chargers were not able to agree to terms of a trade, according to Jackson's agent.
Why is the agent working out a contract when a trade is not in place anyway? Also, does this mean that he was talking to a team other than the Seattle Seahawks? I thought that the only team that was given permission to talk to Jackson was the Seattle Seahawks. Vincent Jackson is NOT an unrestricted free agent and the Chargers own his rights. Jackson is not able to freely look for a team… hence the term, RESTRICTED Free Agent!
There is no way that the Chargers will accept a trade that will bring them less than a 3rd round pick back. Even if Vincent Jackson walks away as an unrestricted free agent next year, the Chargers would get a compensatory pick in the 3rd round. General Manager AJ Smith will just wait it out.
Vincent Jackson and his agent decided to play this game of chicken, and it seems that he is losing! The more I see Vincent Jackson in the news, the more it feels that they are in panic mode and trying to stir the pot. I don't see Marcus McNeill in the newspaper anywhere. Vincent, find your self a designated driver and just sit quietly at home!

Warriors Clinch League Playoff Spot
February 7, 2011
The Vaughn College Warriors clinched their second consecutive berth in the Hudson Valley Men's Athletic Conference postseason tournament with a hard-fought 69-66 win over Albany College of Pharmacy Monday night (February 7) in Albany. The win improved Vaughn to 11-11 overall, but more importantly 4-2 in the HVMAC.
A 74-45 victory over Pratt Institute last week inched the Warriors closer to the postseason, but the possibility of a three-team tie with Culinary Institute and Pratt left Vaughn unable to clinch. Instead, the Warriors clinched in their final regular-season league game of the year, sparked by 21 points and 16 rebounds from Mahdi Macbahi. Jihad Ceasar added 20 points and Jason Ramos secured the win with a pair of free throws with 3.6 seconds remaining.
Playoff matchups are undetermined, but Vaughn will play a semifinal game on Saturday, February 19. The championship game will follow Sunday, February 20; all games are played at the College of New Rochelle.
The win helped the Warriors overcome a disappointing 80-72 loss to playoff-bound Berkeley College in their initial clinching opportunity on Saturday.
The Warriors led Berkeley by as many as six points in the first half, but Berkeley responded to take a three-point halftime lead. Vaughn had four players in double figures, including sophomore Al-Ameen Kabba, who had 21 points, and Macbahi, who had 19.

Americans are accustomed to celebrities from Marie Osmond to Richard Simmons hawking diet plans and exercise regimens, and the health industry has added African American stars such as Jennifer Hudson and Mariah Carey to reach a broader audience.
However, Feel Rich, an Austin startup, claims it is adding a more authentic voice for an urban audience, particularly minorities: hip-hop artists.
"Our goal is to make hip-hop artists the new Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons," said Feel Rich co-founder Shawn Ullman, a Houston native and graduate of the University of Texas.
He has his own celebrities as business partners: legendary music producer Quincy Jones Jr. is chairman, and his son, Quincy Jones III, a Grammy and Emmy award-winning producer in his own right, is a co-founder of the company.
In fact, Feel Rich would probably be located in Los Angeles except that Ullman, who has worked with the Joneses on other projects, wanted to locate it in Austin.
Feel Rich bills itself as "the first urban health media company," and produces YouTube testimonials from hip-hop artists and DJs. It also uses its website, Facebook and Twitter to round out its message.
The testimonials about losing weight and getting healthier are from rappers Fat Joe, Phife Dawg, Paul Wall and his wife, Crystal Slaton, and rapper and author Styles P, who also has started a juice bar in New York City.
"There's a weird movement in hip-hop where everyone is becoming healthy," Ullman said.
Feel Rich's message: "Healthy habits will make an artist's concert livelier, an athlete's game better and an entrepreneur's results better."
Ullman said Feel Rich is not a diet company.
"We don't preach a certain diet," he said. "We just want people to make one healthier choice a day. It's about lifestyle."
Started seven months ago, Feel Rich has been on YouTube for only four months but claims more viewers (almost 3.5 million) and subscribers (16,001) than Jenny Craig, WebMD and Weight Watchers combined.
So far, the audience is two-thirds young women and one-third young men.
"Every time someone's watching, we're getting paid," Ullman said of Feel Rich's partnership with YouTube. Supermarket chain Kroger is a sponsor on the Web page.
And Feel Rich, which is looking for office space and is relying primarily on interns for staff, is nonetheless getting media buzz: Entrepreneur Magazine last month named it the "next innovative company."
The company, still largely self-funded by its founders, is looking for venture capital to turn the buzz into products. Ullman said the company wants to use its new media presence to sell everything from Feel Rich apparel to celebrity cookbooks.
"Think urban Martha Stewart," Ullman said.

I seem to be having a theme of "home-made" these days and my most recent craze is cleaning. Having a puppy (more blogs to come about puppy!) I don't think my house has ever been so clean! He isn't house trained yet so accidents are frequent! We also don't want this house to become one that people walk into and automatically know we have a dog - nothing worse that a doggy smell.
We have been cleaning with vinegar for a while, its excellent for worktops, skirting boards, bathrooms and floors. Its lovely with a few drops of tea tree oil in, it makes it smell wonderful and is a natural anti bacterial formula.
So all I have done is get an empty spray bottle
1/2 vinegar
1/2 water
6 drops of tea tree
Bicarbonate of soda is another natural cleaning agent, it is great for eliminating smells.
I have placed a little tub with some bicarb in the fridge as being coffee lovers, our fresh coffee can fill the fridge with an over powering smell. After baking cupcakes with flavoured icing and placing them in the fridge, all the icing smelt like coffee! Fail!
I have also made my own shake 'n' vac! This was so much fun. I found a tupperware tub which we wouldn't miss, made some holes in the top, poured in bicarb with some tea tree and voilà! Ready to go! What I like about this is that if I sprinkle it on the floor I have to hoover (hoovering is something I don't particularly like to do!)
If you want more information about what vinegar can be used for please check this out:
And for more bicarbonate of soda uses:
Please keep your eyes peeled for a blog about where I bought my bulk vinegar and bicarb… Coming soon!

YouTube channel highlights Maryland Robotics Center research
The Maryland Robotics Center has been hard at work adding new videos to its YouTube Channel. The center, part of the A. James Clark School of Engineering's Institute for Systems Research, launched the channel in 2010 to publicize its research.
Center Director S.K. Gupta (ME/ISR) hopes that the channel will make robotics research more visible to the general public. "This channel is a showcase of the wide variety of robotics research we're involved in here at Maryland," he said. "In one place you can see the results of our work in miniature robotics, unmanned vehicles, medical robotics, robots that work in extreme environments, and robots that are collaborative, cooperative and networked."
The channel currently contains more than 50 videos showcasing research in many of the center?s 18 labs. Visit the channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/UMDRobotics.

SAN JUAN BAUTISTA >> When it comes to integrating arts into the teaching process, there are a million different ideas of what that means, according to Bob Bullwinkle, visual and performing arts director for the Fresno County Office of Education.
But one thing it should mean for sure is that art can be used to teach rigorous standards not only in the arts, but in other content areas.
"The idea is rigor on both sides, not using one to teach another," he said. "Not math at the expense of visual arts."
Now that schools are moving into teaching the Common Core Standards, it's a great opportunity to incorporate arts back into the classroom, supporters believe. Otherwise, there's a danger that teachers will end up "teaching to the test," which became the norm under No Child Left Behind.
"That's a big concern of mine," Bullwinkle said.
The arts educator found a receptive audience in about 22 teachers from Monterey, Santa Clara, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties, who met Wednesday at El Teatro Campesino in San Juan Bautista for camaraderie and updating one another about the projects they're spearheading in their communities.
The teachers were welcomed by El Teatro founder Luis Valdez, who told a story about how not being able to perform in the first play he was ever cast in left a "hole" in his chest.
"The hole in my chest became the hungry mouth of my creativity," Valdez said.
Emiliano Valdez, a professional curriculum developer, has been working on a teaching module called ACTOS, based on a concept developed by his uncle.
The "actos" are one-act plays that Valdez used to teach farmworkers about the injustices being perpetrated against them and spur them into joining the United Farm Workers and creating change. The ACTOS Emiliano Valdez is developing stand for: activate learner, cultivate meaning, teach to learn, open minds and serve community, concepts that are integrated into the work Luis Valdez has been doing for the past 50 years.
"ACTOS is very much what we need to have in our classroom," Emiliano Valdez said. "It's not act instruction. We're not going tell your teachers 'you have to act.' "
But ACTOS will help teachers develop better methods to incorporate in the classroom and get them to connect with their students in a way that will enable better learning, Emiliano Valdez said.
"You've got students with this hole," he said. "Each of our students has it. But it's important to teach to learn This is where art follows through."
In 45 minutes, Bullwinkle gave the teachers a taste of how a class could be built using the Common Core standards in the English Language Arts and theater. It's a workshop that MCOE will make available to other educators in the area in the near future, said Hamish Tyler, director of the Media Center for Arts, Education and Technology.
Mimi Carson, a special-education teacher at Marguerite Maze Middle School in Hollister, said she found the presentations helpful.
"It's inspirational to know people who are integrating more arts," she said.
David Allan, a teacher at Pacific Valley School in Big Sur, said it was about time the mainstream caught up with the work he's been doing for 20 years as an art and science teacher.
Allan said, "Now the trick will be, how to package this so the assessments get processed?"

Whether you were born to dance or you were born with two left feet, there will be something for you Saturday at the RiverCenter in Davenport during the annualDay of Dance, presented byTrinity's Spirit of Women program.
The free community event will feature a variety of dance demonstrations, free blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) testing, health risk assessments and a health fair.
Scheduled dance performances and demonstrations include polka, swing dance with QC SoDa (Quad Cities Social Dancing), ballroom with Fred Astaire Quad Cities, Jazzercise, theMississippi Valley Country Dance Association, belly dancing with theAmate Troupe, Ballet Quad Cities, Zumba with QC Studio Z, Junior Miss Iowa Kilie Akers, body vive and body attack with the YMCA, Salsa Touch, the Mayer School of Irish Dance and hip-hop with theImani! Dancers Studio for Cultural Arts.
"We do it to showcase the cardiovascular benefits of dance," saidAmy Pearson, Trinity's Spirit of Women coordinator. The event is all about getting up and moving, she said, while also throwing in a bit of hand-eye coordination.
That is "also helpful for the heart," Ms. Pearson said.
Ms. Pearson said the demonstrations will essentially be half performance, half lesson as each group will teach attendees a few steps. Ms. Pearson said the Day of Dance illustrates the talent in the Quad-Cities within its variety of dance groups. "How fun to come and experience that and learn a few moves for free," she said.
Ms. Pearson said the Day of Dance "sneaks in some health events in there, too," with a variety of tests and assessments, some of which determine whether you are at risk for heart disease.
If someone is at risk, Ms. Pearson said, "(we can)catch them and get them to where they need to be."
About 600 people turned out for last year's event, Ms. Pearson said, and this year, she expects the same or more. "It was just a lot of fun," she said, adding that families and folks of all ages attended.
She hopes that the people who came last year will return this year, bring their friends, and learn a little bit while they're there.
A news release from Trinity cites that the Report of the Surgeon General on Physical Activity and Health, which was published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1996, states that more than 60 percent of American adults are not regularly physically active.
"In fact, 25 percent of all adults are not active at all," the release states.
But there are significant health benefits in getting a moderate amount of physical activity on most, if not all, days of the week, according to the release.Physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, hypertension, colon cancer, diabetes and more, as well as improving mental health and the overall health of muscles, bones and joints.
Ms. Pearson hopes that event goers will take that home with them, and learn that "they need to get up and move and be heart healthy."
If you go:
-- What: Day of Dance, presented by Trinity's Spirit of Women.
-- When: Noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23.
-- Where: RiverCenter, Mississippi Hall, 136 E. 3rd St., Davenport.
-- Cost: Free.
