Dear Friends,
Gbawe Community, a suburb of Accra, Gbawe, has a population of about 45,000. Roughly 45% of Gbawe's residents are unemployed. The majority of residents live in a state of poverty and they have very few resources for education and jobs training; so they are trapped in a continuous cycle of deprivation and PAAJAF is committed to support the underprivileged and the neglected children, youth and women in the community.
Since the inception of PAAJAF has been able to provide scholarship education for four children in the communtiy through your generous given. If your donation had not been received we wouldn't have been able to reachout to them and we thank you all for the concern. Due to the recent decline of support it has made it difficult for us to pay the school fees for some of the children and it is sad to inform you this. So currently PAAJAF pays for only one of the children fees.
I am writing to you today and please to come to our aid to sustain this project and also careter for the children need. We have a sustainability plan to support this cuase and the plan is to set-up a thrift store in our community to sell children and adult clothing, shoes and other small household items and that all the sale income will gear toward the PAAJAF project, and that the children, youth and women in our community will be the beneficiaries. In order to get this sustainability project set-up , we would need $10,000 to ship and pay the handling cost of container of goods to commence the programme and we are please pleading to you to come to our aid.
If you have few moments, watch our video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHQKlfCEiCM&feature=relmfu
Thank you

I have found that the secondary lightbox does not work at all for any video content in Safari 6+. I have tested it on multiple computers. Safari 5 or earlier, my videos play fine.
Here's what happens:
I'm confident it's not an encoding issue because videos load without a problem in Chrome or Firefox.
There are no additional plugins installed that could interfere.
Any ideas of why this might be happening?
Here is a sample link that won't play for me in Safari 6.0.2.

I love the atmosphere and spectacle of our basketball games. It epitomizes the energy, the spirit and the passion of the La Salle community. It's an amazing feeling to be a part of a vibrant and dynamic community that supports and cheers for one another on the courts, in the classrooms or out in the real world.

I study, play, make and write about traditional board games: chess, draughts, backgammon but especially the less well-known games played around the world since the beginning of historical records. My favourite game is hnefatafl, but I'm also partial to the Royal Game of Ur and fanorona. Well, I did warn you that they're not well known!

I remember taking greyhound to montana, and omg, the "everyone has been to prison (jail)" was hilariously true!
Ah, the Dirty Dog. I still cherish the memories of my 72-hour ride from Seattle to Burlington, VT in 2001. At least I had a posse. Though BECAUSE of the posse, we were being tailed by the FBI. I think one of the crowning moments was when I went to throw away a cup in the Chicago station and the man who had been using the wide-mouthed, full garbage can as a seat got up, pissed off - "oh, man!" because I'd interrupted his comfy lounging. Then there was the huge woman who decided to counteract the smell she made in the bus 'bathroom' by dousing the entire stall with the nastiest perfume possible, assaulting the entire bus for the next half hour with a stinging choking gas of cheap perfume and human shit. Greyhound has the power to take you through pity, beyond compassion and straight to disgust with American society: not for humanity, Adrian, for I've ridden on buses just as uncomfortable full of people even poorer in many countries, but those were countries with an intact culture. People in the outskirts only have the church, the malls and the media to show them how to behave, and lacking access to those three, there is just free-fall.
We have these things now called planes, that, get this, travel up in the clouds. Its called flying and while uncomfortable and cramped is blissfully short. And unless your flying Alaska, or seated next to an idiot, no annoying religious crap.
Prison or at least juvie. Last I was on one these kids were talking about some vocational rehab type program in Oregon. But it's weird: there were also these generically hot French snowboarder chicks, that looked way too rich to be travelling with us mendicants. I don't get it. Whatev.
ADRIAN! Close your bold tags! Were you born in a barn?!
That is all.
close your own damn bold tags!
-- For a girl once (I know, I know), I took a 59-hour Greyhound bus trip to see her. That was the last one, not since... never again. What you say is all true. FUCK THE BUS, VIVA AMTRAK!
This is a mistake we must all make. My 16 hour bus ride to Idaho included a meth addict convinced he was being attacked by a tiny dog in the middle of the night.
My favorite part at the end of the journey was the incredible stench in the vessel. Not to mention the unbelievably random and unsavory businesses they consider valid rest stops.
I rode the greyhound in the south last week and confirm the thing about people in jails. But I had fun seeing a side of America I don't usually see. Picture a redneck ex-con and an Amish guy sitting and talking for 3 hours, then we arrive and the con starts yelled at the drive hurry the fuck up and park mother fucker! The nice Amish guy just sat there thinking thank god I'm Amish.
Takin' the ol' whiptail down the open road for some inspiration and a glimpse of real livin'.
Or better yet...
Fuck that shit.
Oh, the G-Hound. Adrian, I feel your pain.
When I was 20 and college-broke, I took the G-Hound all the way to Washington, D.C., NYC and Boston (!!!!). I was on buses of the damned for days. It was straight out of the waiting room scene from Beetlejuice but with less hope.
On the way back, I was kicked off the bus in Fairfax, Virginia for copping a smoke in the bus's restroom (it had a very convenient window). It was actually a relief, even though my suitcase and I were stranded in the middle of nowhere and I had to pay a zillion dollar cab fare to get to the airport in DC, then another zillion dollars to fly home.
relish is a meal like cottage cheese is a vegetable. yeeesh.
The Amish thing reminded me of the coolest thing that happened on the cross-country trip - we pulled into this Mennonite community in North Dakota in the middle of the night...oh, just scan this article down to the bus stuff and read about it here:
The worst Greyhound experience I've heard of happened to one of my friends - not only was this bus full of the usual convicts and Jesus freaks, but its driver got lost and didn't know how to fucking get to his destination, and had to stop and ask the passengers, and eventually passersby, for directions. It was five hours late.
And Grant @2 is right: the buses I traveled across Thailand in were full of people with less money who were nonetheless infinitely richer in dignity than the people on the Greyhounds I've been on.
Oh god. The terrible, terrible memories. For 4 years, I was broke, living in Boston, and dating a woman in NYC. I spent a lot of time on Greyhound. (And its lesser cousins, Peter Pan and Bonanza, and of course the omnipresent Chinatown buses.) Every possible indignity that could happen short of actual physical assault on my person happened at least once. Frozen? Check. Boiled alive? Check. Trapped next to a 700-pound man with an adenoid problem? Sweet mercy, check. Lost in northern New Jersey on a bus allegedly going from Manhattan to Boston? Yup. Screaming kids? Dozens of them. Fellow passengers getting terminal motion sickness? You betcha. And of course, the coup de grace: getting stranded in Providence, RI, at 1am, because the driver on the overflow bus for the NYC->Prov->BOS run didn't think he had any passengers for Boston. How much does a cab from Providence to Boston cost at 1am? Rather a lot.
It was incredible motivation to actually get a real job, so I would never have to take the bus ever again.
I did greyhound to Vancity once.
Never again.
Amtrak or rental car for ever more.
The bus ride back got stuck at customs at the border because some shit head street kid didn't have their paperwork, but because it was the last greyhound going through for the night (it was past midnight at this point), and the driver was a "nice guy" who fell for the dumbass' girlfriends pleas, we waited almost three hours for customs to decide to clear the dumb ass.
What the fuck?
I'll never ride the Greyhound again. Ever. Again. I took the Greyhound with my friend from Seattle to Prosser in what should've been a 3-4 hour trip. 12 hours later we arrived, and instead of taking the bus back a week later we opted to hitchhike back to Seattle in the snow... at a truck stop. That was the best decision I made that Christmas break.
I almost just shit my pants.
I love you, Adrian!
Oh God, I don't even know where to begin.
My last trip from Seattle to Chicago had three major fights, all of whom where kicked off. One was tripping off of something, accusing someone of stabbing him in his sleep or something insane when the guy who was sitting next to him was doing nothing at all. They both got kicked off in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming in sub-zero temperature at 3 am.
Then there was this senile racist man from rural eastern CO who insisted on calling this black lady, who ironically just got out of prison, a "monkey" and "nigger". I thought she was going to kill him. Luckily for his sake he got kicked off the bus.
Then once I got stranded in Montana overnight in the middle of nowhere on Christmas Eve when the bus broke down. No heat, no power, and the door was stuck open. I thought we were going to freeze to death. It took ten hours for the next bus to get us. I had to huddle next to some ex-heroin junkie girl from Vancouver who was od-ing on methadone juice and running away from home to NYC just, so I wouldn't freeze to death.
I did meet one cute girl once from SF on her way to Omaha though. she was a physical trainer and we kept in contact afterwards, so that's the little silver lining compared to numerous hellacious stories.
I could share some worse stories, but I would take up too much space on this comment.
I hate flying, next time it's Amtrak.
what kind of guy lets their girlfriend ride the greyhound? I wouldn't let mine near one.
Where's Mr. Garrison's "It" in our time of need?
"It still beats the airlines."
ah, the BUS, on the long haul
you never forget and tell the tales over and over
but if lucky, the long back seat is empty and you can lay out - or have sex - because all males get horny on the BUS - now tell the truth, every time I have been on Greyhound I had hand job and blow job sex, and once, fucking in the back row
the best personal encounter was a
Aww. See, I have memories of seeing those buses in the '70's and cooing "ooh, oggie!" And then being put on one from the gnarly Seattle Bus Terminal for the 5 1/2 hour ride to Grama's house in Brewster, WA. Coo...
and you must never ride in the dog inwinter because a snowstorm could shut down the roads and get you stuck in davenport iowa and then they have to put you up in a hotel and you don't get your own room and have to share it with the amazingly gassy just got out of jail guy and you might possibly have to sleep in the same bed with him. and the bar is shut down so you have to walk in the midwest cold ass dead of winter to an inconvience store and all the liquor they have left is a six pack of champale. the just got out of jail guy will have some hash and you will smoke it.. but your lips will go numb and he will laugh at you and then pass out but not before crawling into bed fully clothed with his shoes on. and the tv only gets infomercial and only in black and white..
but if you do ride this bus you will never, ever, as god is our witness, ride the dog again
Wow, sorry guys, guess I've been lucky...only had to wait a couple hours once for a new windsheild wiper...
Thanks, Adrian. Normally your posts are kind of schizo, but this one was just plain hilarious. Oh, the humanity.
Oh Adrian Darling - if it weren't for the fact that you're much too young and high-strung for me, I'd have you over to rub eau de cologne on your temples and give you a footbath.
Next time you want an adventure in ground transportation, take the train sweetie. Get yourself a nice little roomette or bedroom, and haul your ass down to the lounge car when you get all tense and nervous. Even if you ride coach, it's much classier and roomier than the bus. They kick trash off the train when they get too trashy.
Adrian, I feel your pain. I nearly pissed myself laughing while feeling your pain, but I do offer my condolences about your experience.
The first time I rode Greyhound, despite my efforts to keep my small duffel bag with me, because it contained basically everything I owned at the time, I was told I had to put it in the storage compartment.
I remember being the only who got off at the tiny town that was my stop. I went to right over to the storage part of the bus, thinking that the driver would disembark like he did for every other stop to allow people to get their bags.
The bus took off immediately. I actually ran down the road after it, waving my arms. I remember speaking with a Greyhound employee, begging them to please contact the bus, and giving them my contact information and the description of my bag.
I never got my bag back.
Another time I was on the Greyhound, I sat next to a fairly hyperactive person who claimed to be involved with the Salvation Army.
Although I tried to do every please-stop-talking-at-me trick in the book, I learned all about the history of the Salvation Army, that they really do consider themselves an army of god, that their main purpose is to convert everyone they possibly can, and I was treated to an excited description of the meaning and significance of their uniforms, et cetera et cetera.
I've since been unable to feel good about spending any money at a Salvation Army since then, although I had little choice after Greyhound ran off with all my clothes.
So Bush meets this Marine who lost both his legs in Iraq and says \"Good Man, We\'re Gonna Get Him Some New Legs...\" Bush is the guy Dan Savage supported to start a war in Iraq. The Marine is the guy who is paying the price for Bush\'s stupidity and incompetence.
Excerpts below from Dan Savage\'s \"Say yes to war\" piece Oct. 2002
\"While the American left is content to see an Iraqi dictator terrorizing the Iraqi people, the Bushies in D.C. are not. \"We do not intend to put American lives at risk to replace one dictator with another,\" Dick Cheney recently told reporters. For those of you who were too busy making papier-mâché puppets of George W. Bush last week to read the papers, you may have missed this page-one statement in last Friday\'s New York Times: \"The White House is developing a detailed plan, modeled on the postwar occupation of Japan, to install an American-led military government in Iraq if the United States topples Saddam Hussein.\"\"
\"In the meantime, invading and rebuilding Iraq will not only free the Iraqi people, it will also make the Saudis aware of the consequences they face if they continue to oppress their own people while exporting terrorism and terrorists. The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we\'re going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves\"
@ 29 when will everyone just accept the obvious: dan is cia. he's a plant. a ghost. a ghost plant. his mission: via the stranger/savage love, skew and confuse and the the politics of the left. it was the most clever thing they came up with since using the simpson's to launch and fund fox propaganda network. it's obvious. it's true. and i swear on the holy stack of bibles to every word. but really, now, @ 29....now that we've got all that out in the open, can i ask? what the fuck does ANY of this have to do with fucking greyhound? WHAT? honestly, now. can we FOCUS here for two seconds, for fuck's sake?! what the hell's the matter with you!? we're talking about greyhound here. GREYHOUND!
HELL YEAH!!! What adrian! said...oh oh when does that new Simpsons movie come out again? looks pretty cool from the previews, and anyone know if there is going to be any coverage of how people celebrate the new Harry Potter? ohh ohh and Brittney stripped down to her frillies yesterday and went for a swim, that was kool!! oh yeah and Greyhound SUX!!!
Dude, I'm living back here in Iowa, I swear that dude is Mitt Romney.

good thing our federal & local s governments have let america's passenger rail service fall into decreptitude, huh?
buses fucking suck, whether they're local or long distance.
pray for peak oil - its the only thing that will revive rail.
Actually Maxsolomon, the passenger rails were much more decrepit in the late 60's,which is why we have Amtrak - Nixon-era corporate welfare at its best. It was cynically designed by the GOP and the big railroads to last a few years, "until the people who liked trains died off" - then succumb itself. As usual, the Republicans were wrong, and that didn't happen.
I admit to being old enough to have taken a Union Pacific local from Omaha to Columbus, Nebraska: two nasty old cars tacked on the back of a slow-moving freight. No personnel on the train, or at least not any who cared enough to protect my mom, sister and I from a weirdo who wanted to carry me around. We had to sit out that ride in the ladies room to avoid the perv.
Amtrak, for all its flaws, is at least somewhat consistent. And the local areas who have been enlightened enough to invest in rail (California, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, the New England region) have had very successful partnerships with Amtrak.
Adrian, I don't know anyone who *hasn't* been terrorized on the bus. My skin broke out every time I had to ride the bus between college and home. Before one of my acne-inducing departures, my father saw how afraid I was. He started to cry. A few months later, he gave me a car. WenG
What I want to know is why there is always someone on the bus who feels compelled to do something that breaks the toilet. Every.Frigging.Time. Either they take a crap the size of a bull elephant's, and clog the thing so that it overflows out the door, down the little step, and down the bus' corridor, they let their idiot child flush a toy down it and clog it, they fill it with Kotexes and condoms, or someone simply takes a crap so inhumanly vile that the rest of the passengers would rather shit their pants than voluntarily enter that filthy gas chamber.
And all that is if you're fortunate enough to have a bus whose toilet is working in the FIRST place.
I've had all the crappers break down on a train, too, but they always get those fixed in an hour or two. On the bus, not so much...ever endure 5 hours without a stop on a busload of people who stuffed themselves with greasy food and beer at the last pitstop, several small children and old people with incontinence issues and an inadequate supply of diapers, and a broken crapper? It's an experience not to be missed. I'm just sayin'.

Rubio's take on the sequestration battle
Florida Senator talks about the looming budget cuts and how the press covers him
Florida Senator talks about the looming budget cuts and how the press covers him
Kevin: If we're going to talk "un-American" I'll point to Obama, who said he'd go it alone with executive order because he has a phone and a pen. He campaigned on what her perceived was wrong with or needed improvement in America. Trump's "make America great again" reflects what we've been lacking for quite some time. We're behind at least a dozen developed countries when it comes to education. Welfare programs have been greatly expanded to include people who could work but refuse to do so. Our GDP isn't nearly what it could be. Free trade have killed jobs. Infrastructure is crumbling. We need to bring back so many small farms, mills, and factories, put people to work in good jobs, ramp up our exports, greatly reduce our dependence on foreign oil, secure our borders, and fix our roads, bridges, & power lines.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, charged with enforcing the nation's financial regulations, could get a leader who sees technology as a high priority. (Stock image)
President Barack Obama's pick to head the Securities and Exchange Commission says she will work to ensure technology stays at the forefront.
Mary Jo White, who testified before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs the morning of March 12, said she had mapped out early focus areas if she were to be become the SEC chairwoman.
Together with staff and other commissioners, White said, she would first take on the rulemaking mandates in the Dodd Frank Act and Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, the latter of which has now been in adoption for a full year.
"To complete these legislative mandates expeditiously must be an immediate imperative for the SEC," she said.
White said a second priority would be to bolster SEC's enforcement function, which "is essential to the integrity of our financial markets."
Third, her focus would be to make sure SEC has the cutting-edge technology and expertise necessary to keep pace with the markets and its responsibilities to monitor, regulate and enforce the securities laws. "It's a great investment to hire experts," she said.
White, a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, most previously served as chair of the litigation department at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP. If confirmed by the Senate, she is expected to replace interim SEC Chairwoman Elisse Walter by mid-March.

Large Animal Responders list - we are still contacting people who might be willing to be part of a large animal emergency response list and/or wish to take a large animal training when we host one. Send a message to Kim Bill and Dee Clark via email@example.com
FOCAS/CMDART "Pets in Disaster program" had full house
CharltonMass - More than 30 people laughed and learned yesterday at the Friends of Charlton Animal Shelter (FOCAS) Pets in Disaster/Pet First Aid workshop held yesterday at the Grange Hall in Charlton. Registration was at full capacity more than a week ahead of the event. FOCAS hosted the Central Massachusetts Disaster Animal Response Team (CMDART) and Valerie Laurence, LPN who offered both an overview of disaster planning for pets and pet owners in Central Mass. (more)
CMDART expands call list for large animal rescue.
On January 12 in Westminster, Charlie, a 26-year-old horse fell on ice about a half a mile into the woods on a trail he commonly walks on. After more then three hours of effort, Charlie and his owner went home.
CMDART complements all those local fire, ACO, and veterinary service providers who rescued this animal. Compliments to the Pepperell Fire Dept. who brought equipment. We wish to thank Ed Hart from our team who deployed at our request to aid some assistance.
CMDART had just recently met with District 7 Technical Rescue Team to work on a mutual aid agreement to be able to help with just this kind of circumstance. Several of our people, some of the District 7 firefighters, animal control officers, and CERT members attended either our Nov. 1 Farm and Large Animal Workshop or a specialized workshop held in Shirley taught by the MSPCA. Equine Ambulance program, led by Roger Lauze, primary trainer for the Equine Rescue program.
CMDART has hosted several large animal emergency rescue trainings, but our large animal response list has not been as comprehensive as it could be. People work and have animals to care for themselves. While several trained volunteers were called during the day of Jan. 12, several could not respond., Our list can never be large enough. We aim to correct that by collecting data about all those who have taken large animal rescue training over these 13 years of our existence.
Dee Clark, our Membership Coordinator ,Linda Schnell, our training registrar, and our MSPCA affiliate, are working to collect a comprehensive list of all the trained large animal volunteers who have taken the training and might be available to respond in Central Mass.
CMDART has large animal rescue equipment in West Boylston and Uxbridge, two locations. We hope that creating a more comprehensive data base of large animal responders will help keep large animals like "Charlie", and our partner emergency responders, from having to wait so long for help next time.
If you have taken large animal emergency rescue training and wish to be on our list, please contact Dee Clark at firstname.lastname@example.com. Obviously, our hope is that individual volunteers would also cross-join with our team for liability and reasons of best practice. Check with Dee about becoming a member.
Pet Friendly Hotels
When we are interviewing disaster clients with pets, the first thing we always want to do is ask them if they have an alternate place to stay. Often in the midst of stress, they forget that their friend down the street likes their dog or Aunt Fanny wouldn't mind taking them in for a short time, especially if they perhaps had a proper crate to keep the animal in just during the stay.
Alternative to this, when friends or family aren't available, are pet friendly hotels. CMDART keeps a list of pet-friendly hotels on our website and we are always looking to update those. Please send us information if you know of any that change or need to be added. Here also are some links to finding pet-friendly lodging. Tip: Motel 6 never charges a pet fee....usually.

False Cape State Park is a state park in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It lies on the Currituck Banks Peninsula which is a mile-wide barrier spit between the Back Bay of the Currituck Sound and the Atlantic Ocean on Virginia's Outer Banks. The park adjoins the state border with North Carolina and lies shortly north of Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge.
At the south end of the park is a monument with "Va." on one side and "N Ca" on the other. Although it reads "A.D. 1728" on the top, it was more likely erected in 1887 when the boundary was surveyed again, since the original marker was a simple cedar post. "A.D. 1728" refers to the year in which the current boundary was first surveyed.[1]
Park access is through Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and is limited to hiking, bicycling or boating. The park also offers tram and beach crawler (known as the Terra Gator) transportation for day visitors during certain seasons. The park features primitive camping and an extensive environmental education program
The park was named for False Cape, which lies within the park. False Cape earned its name due to its resemblance to Cape Henry when seen from the ocean.[2] This false impression lured ships and boats looking for the real Cape Henry (about 20 miles (30 km) to the north at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay) into the shallow waters, where they could more readily run aground. Because of the high number of shipwrecks here and all along the Outer Banks, it earned the nickname "Graveyard of the Atlantic".
The community of Wash Woods, now abandoned, was developed by survivors of such a shipwreck in the 16th or early 17th century.[3] The village's church and other structures were built using cypress wood that washed ashore from a wreck. In the early 20th century, False Cape was a haven for a number of hunt clubs taking advantage of the area's abundant waterfowl. The park's Wash Woods Environmental Education Center is a converted hunt clubhouse.[4] In 2004, The Virginian-Pilot reported poor conditions at a trash dump area in the park which were subsequently resolved by a cleanup project park employees, volunteers and private firms.
Undeveloped portions of the park were rededicated as the False Cape Natural Area Preserve in 2002.

In September 1540, Spanish conquistador Garcia López de Cárdenas and a handful of comrades happened upon something no other European had ever seen before: the Grand Canyon. It's difficult to imagine what they must have felt. López didn't keep a journal. We only know that he hurried back from the edge of that chasm as soon as he saw it, gripped with "awe that was almost painful to behold."
Novelist Walker Percy believed that López was not only the first European to see the Canyon. He was nearly the last to see it as it truly is, the last to see it for himself. This is because the explorer—tired and thirsty after a 20-day march across the Colorado Plateau—stumbled upon the gorge with no expectations. He was just trudging along, and there it was.
As for the rest of us, our experience of the Grand Canyon is largely determined by our expectations. Popular culture has immortalized the iconic road trip out West, which invariably includes a stop by the great gorge (think National Lampoon's Vacation). Even if we've never seen it ourselves, we've seen enough movies, postcards, textbook photos, and television specials that we have a pretty good idea what it looks like.
As a result, all of us after López come anticipating the Grand Canyon experience as it is defined by the experts—the filmmakers and postcard photographers. We predetermine whether we will like it. The way we rate our encounter is based, in large part, on how well it conforms to the expectations we already have. Percy puts it this way: "If it looks just like the postcard, [the sightseer] is pleased; he might even say, 'Why, it is every bit as beautiful as a picture postcard!' He feels he has not been cheated. But if it does not conform, if the colors are somber, he will not be able to see it directly; he will only be conscious of the disparity between what it is and what it is supposed to be."
Many ministers have surrendered their judgment about what constitutes "the authentic church experience" to expectations shaped by experts. These experts write books, speak at conferences, and typically lead large and influential congregations. Because of their success, we imagine them to be great pioneers who are part of something we have never seen—the "real" church experience. Over time, the experts have done for church what postcards and PBS specials have done for the Grand Canyon: they've made it difficult for us to appreciate our own experience apart from theirs. We have lost the ability to see and experience and appreciate ministry for ourselves. All we can see is the disparity between what our churches are and what they are "supposed" to be.
Ambitions and Revisions
I began my ministry career at the tender age of 20 (it seemed like a good idea at the time). When I accepted my first post as pastor, I was entirely seduced by the experts' description of ministry success. The arc goes something like this: at some point in your life you sense a clear call from God to enter the ministry. It makes a better story if this happens after years of success in a lucrative secular career or a period of profound and sinful rebellion. After some sort of preparation—whether in seminary or careful perusal of church planting materials—you take a position in a small church. Over the next several years, your ministry grows. You see people reconcile with God; lives are changed. You feel confident you are squarely within God's will. You've found your calling. You may move from church to church—usually to increasingly larger, more vibrant congregations—or your church plant grows rapidly. Soon your peers recognize your success and a publisher asks you to write a book about your story. You share it at conferences. You have arrived.

July's total production will be the second highest month of the year only trailing January which is always the highest month
see the usmint web site for yourself
db: Is there always a direct correlation between US Mint production and the business of CLCT? I would think that some buyers of US Mint products would not feel that there would be a further need to authenticate the items they have received from the Mint.
On the other side of the picture, I have seen your comments about US Mint production since I bought into CLCT in February, and the two items (Mint production and CLCT profitability) do seem to dovetail very nicely. Your thoughts on this issue please, and I appreciate it.
1/2 of the coin volumes are modern coins just freshly produced by the US Mint. I'll give some examples:
- in January the Mint produces the new year (2013 for this year) Silver Eagles and Gold Eagles. Many collectors collect full sets, one coin from each year. So there is a huge influx from collectors and from all the big houses like HSN, Goldmart, Apmex, etc who look to buy directly from the Mint and have the coins shipped directly to PCGs for bulk grading. This was one of the reasons for the huge volumes in January
- during the year the Mint has a schedule of special coins they produce that are or interest to collectors. The big product this year is the Westpoint Mint special proof and reverse proof coins. These came out about 2 months ago and are limited to something like 250K sets. They are still being distributed to collectors as the Mint has had issues but the totals already graded by PCGS are over 11K.
- The Mint has started producing Platinum coins again this year. These are generally limited to under 10K coins produced but almost all get graded by either NGC or PCGS.
- there are special 1 oz Gold Buffalo coins being produced this year as well.
So, in short, US Mint production levels directly correspond to Modern coin levels at PCGS.

Hi there,
This is a great plugin, so thank you!
I've noticed that the thumbnails squish and look funny if the title of my post is too long. Is there anyway to keep them the same size?
Also, I have the plugin installed in the 3rd footer region of my page and it doesn't seem to play nicely with my theme's titles. Can that be altered?

I wish to travel from Manila to Boracay in the Philippines. What are the options I have if I wish to do it over land?
None. Boracay is an island, with no land connection to the island where Manila is on.
But I assume now you knew that. So let's find the next possible way. Renting vehicles might be a challenge since you will not return them at the place where you got them. So you will have to take buses, trains and ferries.
If you want to shorten the water travel as much as possible, most likely you will travel:
For most of the sections you will be able to find alternative providers, with different schedules. Google will be very helpful to make sure you get the best fitting schedule.
If you schedule it correctly, and if there are no other issues, the whole thing will take you the whole day (about from 5am to 10pm)
Please be aware of the following:
There are a couple of travel options when you want to travel from Manila to Boracay. You either travel by air or by sea. You should take note that there are no airports on the island of Boracay, frankly because it is quite small. The fastest way to get there, of course, would be to go by plane from Manila to Boracay.A plane ride will take you as far as Caticlan or Kalibo where the closest airports to Boracay are located. Both the flights from Manila to Kalibo and Caticlan will take around an hour and a half. You then ferry from Caticlan to the island of Boracay.
For those who prefer a more leisurely mode of transport, or are on a budget travel, you can take the ferry boat from Manila to Dumaguit. Dumaguit is situated on the northern side of Panay.
First you have to drive to North Harbor in Manila where the ferries to Dumaguit are stationed. Once you arrive at Dumaguit you have to go to Caticlan. This can be done either by bus, or if you like, the jeepney.
Another way to get to Boracay from Manila is to take the following route: first you take a bus ride going from Manila all the way to Batangas. From there you will board the ferry that transports you to Tablas in Romblon. From the port of Odiongan, you can take a jeepney to another port (either Santa Fe or Looc) and get a banca to Boracay Island.

This paper addresses the robust reference-tracking-control problem for nonlinear distributed parameter systems (NDPSs) with time delays, external disturbances, and measurement noises. The NDPS is measured at several sensor locations for output-feedback tracking control. A fuzzy-spatial state-space model derived via finite-difference approach is introduced to represent the nonlinear distributed parameter time-delayed system. Thus, we use a fuzzy interpolation method with several local linear systems to approximate the nonlinear system and employ the finite-difference method to approximate the partial differential operators in fuzzy-spatial state-space model. Based on this model, a robust fuzzy-observer-based reference-tracking controller is proposed to control the NDPS to track a desired reference trajectory. First, a 2-D tracking performance in a spatiotemporal domain is proposed for robust tracking design of nonlinear distributed parameter time-delayed systems. Then, an equivalent 1-D reference-tracking design is developed to simplify the design procedure, and the linear-matrix-inequality (LMI) technique is applied to solve the control gains and observer gains for the robust tracking-design problem via a systematic control-design procedure. Finally, a tracking-control-design example for the nervous system is given to confirm the proposed reference-tracking-control scheme of nonlinear distributed parameter time-delayed systems.

Baseball, the national pastime, has become the national laughingstock.
The alleged use of performance-enhancing chemicals now has tainted the records of some of the game's contemporary luminaries, chief among them Barry Bonds, who wants to become the next all-time home run king.
Major League Baseball is finally starting to talk openly about the use of steroids. It's far too late, however, to give baseball any serious credit for its awakening. The reports of steroid abuse have been kicking around for years. Many observers have watched players' appearance change before their eyes and their on-field production soar even as they age. Bonds is just the most prominent example.
The San Francisco Giants slugger reportedly told a grand jury that he unknowingly took steroids, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Imagine that: a professional athlete who makes a magnificent living using his body doesn't know what he's putting into it?
The report about Bonds followed another report about New York Yankees slugger Jason Giambi, who told a grand jury that he knowingly juiced himself up.
Hall of Famer Henry Aaron, whose record Bonds seeks to break, finally has spoken out. To take anything to enhance one's performance "is just wrong," Aaron said.
It's also wrong for baseball to allow its players union to resist enacting tough rules that ban players for using these substances.

Dec. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Jared Kushner sold the Manhattan office building that houses his New York Observer newspaper to GreenOak Real Estate LP for $95 million, according to two people with knowledge of the transaction.
The sale was completed on Dec. 28, said the people, who asked not to be named because the deal was private. The building at 321 W. 44th St. near Times Square is about 85 percent occupied, one of the people said.
An entity controlled by the Kushner family bought the building for $85 million in 2007, near the peak of the real estate market. Jared Kushner, the president and chief executive officer of Kushner Cos., the prior year purchased the New York Observer, a weekly newspaper that focuses on the city's political, media and real estate elite.
The newspaper, one of the largest tenants in 321 W. 44th St., has a five-year lease, with an option to terminate after one year, one of the people familiar with the deal said. Kushner may either buy a new building and house the publication there, or move it into a property his family already owns, the person said.
Matthew Hiltzik, a Kushner spokesman, declined to comment on the sale, which was reported earlier today by the New York Post. Andrew Yoon, chief operating officer of GreenOak, also declined to comment.
GreenOak, the investment firm started by former leaders of Morgan Stanley's property fund unit, acquired the building with East End Capital, which holds a minority stake. The two firms previously teamed to buy a 15-floor office building at 256 W. 38th St. in New York's garment district for about $30 million.
GreenOak was founded in 2010 by Sonny Kalsi, Fred Schmidt and John Carrafiell, who ran Wall Street's largest real estate investing group at Morgan Stanley until the market crashed. GreenOak expects most of its deals to be for office buildings, followed by retail properties and hotels, according to marketing materials. In the U.S., it will concentrate on large coastal cities such as New York, Boston and Los Angeles.

White could return for Hoosiers
April, 16, 2007
Unless something changes in the next 13 days before the NBA's early-entry deadline, start to count Indiana as one of the teams that could win the Big Ten and make a deep run into the NCAA Tournament.
That's because coach Kelvin Sampson says he thinks D.J. White is returning for his senior season.
"All indications are that he is coming back,'' Sampson said of his 6-foot-9 forward. "He's at every workout. He's a workout leader. There is no formal announcement plans yet, but I think he's coming back.''

Tax Incentives to Saving and Borrowing
The Paper reviews the literature on these tax incentives, with special focus on long-term saving, housing, and household liabilities. The Paper addresses several areas of policy intervention: (1) the interest rate effect on personal saving; (2) the effect of tax incentives on long-term mandatory saving programmes; (3) government programmes that target saving for home purchase; (4) government programmes that target health and saving for education; (5) the effect of tax incentives to borrow, rather than to save. For each of these five important issues, the Paper provides empirical evidence on the main characteristics of government programmes, with a special focus on middle-income countries. It also addresses a number of issues that should be of interest to policy-makers. First of all, on which grounds government policy should target some assets rather than others. Second, if tax-sheltered assets and liabilities lead to substitution away from more heavily taxed savings instruments or if they affect the overall level of saving. Finally, if there is any lesson that can be drawn from the experience of developed countries for the design of saving and borrowing incentives in middle-income countries.

Hello all! This is my first time posting on this forum (was linked here from another site) and I figured this would be the best place to start :3

Hi felt_friend! I wonder what's your interest in joining Pokecommunity? You could tell more about yourself.

I was linked here from another site and I love pokemon (even though I haven't played in ages :{) so i decided to register, also what should I tell 0.0

Hey felt_friend, welcome to PokeCommunity. I guess you could start off with what you like a about Pokemon and maybe some of the things that you like outside of Pokemon.

Surprisingly it's hard to say what exactly I like about pokemon, it's just something that I grew up with and never let go, I put it down for a while but I've started picking up interest again. Additionally I'm a pretty big otaku so animes etc

Oh. Japanese Entertainment (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26) section is for you if you like animes! So enjoy and have a nice day!

Hi there, Felt Friend! That is such a cute username, haha. Oh and good detective skills! This place is indeed the best place to start. :3 Plus don't worry if you haven't played Pokémon for a while, I mean even I haven't finished White 2 and it's been a while since I played. Seriously, all Pokémon fans are welcome here, because if you're familiar with anything related to Pokémon, then chances are, you'll find a topic that you can relate to and post in here. :D
It's not that surprising, I think. It really is a blissful experience to keep coming back for the same dose of the Pokémon franchise, and it's hard to explain why. I mean I also grew up with it, but how come I never grew out of it like most of my peers in real life? o3o I might not get it, but I can still relate a lot with your stand with the franchise. I mean sometimes I lose interest in the series, but then I just come back without prior notice and loving the franchise even more, haha. Oh and by the way, I watched a lot of anime, too! Wind Heart linked you to PC's section for that, so maybe I'll see you post some there and we can talk about what we've watched. Or you could just VM me and stuff! That would work too.
You can still add a lot of stuff to your intro, you know. Like favorite Pokémon, favorite anime, favorite video game, favorite hobby, favorite food, or anything that you're comfortable with sharing, really. :3 But yeah, I hope you have lots of good times and learn a lot in this place, because I sure did. Welcome aboard, Felt Friend!

Photos: South Africa's 'Born-Frees'
Around 20 million South Africans - about 40 percent of the population - are so-called "Born Frees," the term bestowed on the first generation to grow up with no memory of apartheid. April 27 marks the 20th anniversary of South Africa's first multi-racial elections, formally ending over 300 years of white domination and 46 years of formal oppression of the black majority under Apartheid. Full story here.

The "Slave Reparation Act" does not exist, but some people are getting a flier telling them they are eligible for $5,000 under the act if they supply their name, address, phone number and Social Security number. It's a hoax, U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon, said Tuesday in a news release.
Another letter targets people born between 1917 and 1921 and promises a $5,000 lump sum or higher from the Social Security Administration.
Both letters seek donations to the Senior Citizens League, Thornberry said.
"They're hitting people up for money based on claims that are factually untrue," Thornberry said.
Jesse Moses of the Amarillo Senior Citizens Association said he hasn't seen copies of the latest hoax, but similar letters are circulated from time to time.
"I hope people don't respond," Moses said.
The letters request donations for the Senior Citizens League, an affiliate of the Retired Enlisted Association. The Senior Citizens League denied any involvement with the fliers.
People should only deal with groups that they know, and whose work they know, Moses said.
There is no such law as the "Slave Reparations Act," according to the Social Security's Office of Inspector General.
"It's a shame that seniors are being exploited in this manner," Thornberry said. "The bottom line is that seniors need to use extreme caution when receiving letters concerning their Social Security benefits."
Police: Arrests crack cases
Amarillo police pulled over two vehicles Tuesday and cleared 12 auto burglaries after finding stolen merchandise, according to an Amarillo Police Department news release.
Someone called police about 4 a.m. from the 2700 block of Curtis Drive to report two men walking across the street and carrying a car stereo to the bed of a dark-colored extended-cab pickup, the release stated.
Officer Wes Hill drove around the area and found a pickup that matched the description given by the caller. Hill stopped the pickup, and after questioning the pair and two other occupants suspected that all four had committed a combined six burglaries.
Three 17-year-old men and an 18-year-old man were booked into the Potter County Detention Center in connection with the burglaries.
Thirty minutes later, a resident of Lakeview Apartments, 1600 Dale St., gave police a description of a car suspected in several more auto burglaries. An officer pulled the suspected car over at a convenience store parking lot and found that the car was full of stolen property. Two men were booked into the Potter County Detention Center and three juveniles were transported to the Youth Center of the High Plains.
