I have been working with Michelle Medd for several weeks now on my brand new website and I have to say that my experience with her was amazing. I felt like an important person as opposed to a number or the next buck she made. My needs were met and then some and I was supported the whole way through; when I had a question or didn't understand how to do something she was always there to help.

Victoria FittsMilgrim, True Life Coaching & Retreats
Just like any other service provider, it's not easy to find a great VA. So many things can be wrong…they might not have the technical knowledge or skills to perform what you need, they may be slow to respond and don't provide updates, perhaps they don't follow through with their promises, maybe their work is sloppy…and the list goes on. Michelle Medd of Administrative Essentials was recommended to me by another busy entrepreneur with many needs involving a variety of technologies. I suspected that her VA would be top notch, and I was right. Michelle has been responsive since the first time I contacted her. She is quick, honest, dependable, professional and proficient. Her work is always right on target and she is very communicative. She doesn't miss a detail. She has a wide variety of skills, and she's honest about what she can and can't do. Michelle goes beyond what's asked to offer assistance when she sees potential improvements. I'm so happy I found Michelle because when I send a request to her, I don't have any doubt that it will be handled just the way I need it and much faster than most VAs could provide. If you decide to hire her, just save some time for me!
Jan Tucker, Perfect Inner Peace
I first hired Michelle in 2008 to help me set up my first blog, shopping cart and auto-responder. She really "got it" right from the start! She was great in giving me step-by-step instructions all throughout the process, which allowed me to create additional blogs with minimal assistance. Michelle is always there when I yell "Help!" when I hit a brick wall. She has been invaluable to me with my online work. I highly recommend her.
Tina Marino, The Heim Group, Inc.
Michelle was a pleasure to work with! After dictating over the phone what I would like done, Michelle saw my vision and more! After hiring 3 different people I had almost given up on getting my website out there the way I had envisioned as well as on time. I took a chance on Michelle and she wowed me. Michelle is a very punctual person with a great talent in helping people achieve the most out of their business. I look forward to future projects with Michelle. Thank you for all your help!

College Football
WELL THEY MANAGED to do it, reviewing all of these plays in college football. Let the kids play. Why do we have to review every single play? They must have reviewed 10 or 15 plays in the Ohio State game. Let the game go on. They ruined the pro game, now they are ruining the college game.
JOHNNY MANZIEL SHOULD have been suspended for more than the first half of the Rice game. He didn't deserve the Heisman trophy either. Wasn't he in trouble before?
IT'S GOING TO be a crazy season. Last year Pitt lost to Youngstown state. This year reigning Big Twelve Champion Kansas State lost to North Dakota and Towson ran UCONN out of their own stadium. Those of you who make fun of these schedules, keep this in mind.
RYNE SANDBERG WILL have his own coaching staff in place next year and you will see improvements in all facets of the game.
Penn State
BILL O'BRIEN ISN'T wasting a 5 star quarterback on the bench. This isn't the old Penn State. Quarterbacks are now taught and play.
PENN STATE HAS 5 preseason top 25 picks in their schedule. Alabama has only 2, LSU and Virginia Tech. Case closed.
High School Sports
THIS IS IN response to the caller who wondered about all of the transfers and recruiting, I don't know where this person is living, but recruiting has been going on in this area for years.
THERE'S NO QUESTION that the Dallas Cowboys have the most overrated starting quarterback in the NFL, but they may just have the worst team in the NFL this year.

Results tagged ' 5K Sausage Run/Walk; Brewers Charities '
Brewers Charities 5K already filling up
Meredith Malone of Brewers Charities informs me that about one-third of the available spots in this year's 5K Sausage Run/Walk are already spoken for. The event is July 25, and a $25 donation to Brewers Charities gets you a spot in the race, a t-shirt and a terrace reserved ticket to one of 10 Brewers home games.
Registration is capped at 2,500 for the event, and you can sign up online.
I love any 5K that has hot dogs waiting at the finish line so I'll be there, looking to continue my dominance of the media division. Maybe we can convince Corey Hart to run; he told me the other day that he ran cross country in high school.

All good things must come to an end. That included Delgado's record-setting baseball season concluding in gut-wrenching fashion in Warner, Okla., this past weekend, a bitter finish to a great year for the Dolphins.
Coach Joe Scheuermann said Tuesday he was relieved his team escaped Oklahoma, the site of the South Central District championship, ahead of the deadly tornadoes that struck Monday afternoon. The team undoubtedly would have preferred better results on the field Friday and Saturday; however, Delgado's historic season will leave a lasting impact on the program.
The 2013 season ended with Delgado losing two straight games to Connors State, an 11-10 extra-inning battle Friday and a 3-1 loss Saturday. The Dolphins then rearranged their travel plans to return to New Orleans earlier than planned to evade the storms. Scheuermann said he's grateful both for the team's safety and its performance this season before falling flat with a spot in the Junior College World Series up for grabs.
"Everything we did so well all year long we didn't do all weekend," Scheuermann said of the Dolphins' two losses after they edged Maple Woods in extra innings Friday to start the tournament. "Then we sent half the team home at 7 p.m. Sunday, but we couldn't get everybody on that flight, so the rest of the team came home at 7 a.m. Monday. We were supposed to leave at 5 p.m. Monday."
Offensively, the Dolphins couldn't come through with two-out hits, which Scheuermann said win championships.
"The errors were almost playground errors - pitch and catch balls, we missed a fly ball, just made very elementary errors," Scheuermann said. "You take away one, two or three of them and we win the game going away ... Unfortunately we picked the wrong game to have a bad game. And on Saturday we were just flat."
Dejection and disappointment pervaded the Dolphins' team hotel after their elimination, and understandably so. Their dream of reaching the pinnacle of junior college baseball success for the third time since 1985 was so close.
But Scheuermann said next season starts now, and Delgado is armed with momentum for recruiting, fundraising and overall image-building in the community and the league.
"I told the sophomores and the whole club at our team meeting in the hotel afterward, the things you did for the program you won't realize until 5-10 years down the road, but I reap the benefits right away," Scheuermann said.
"I've been on the phone with recruits who, before, we wouldn't have been able to knock on their doors. The freshmen getting to experience what it's all about being the No. 1 team in the country will help them with their maturity and understanding what it takes to uphold that tradition."
Several sophomores moving on from the Delgado program voiced their emotions via Twitter after bowing to Connors State this weekend - statements of gratitude for their experience this season despite placing the final exclamation point on the year with the Junior College World Series.
Said catcher Luke Voiron: "Not the way I wanted it to end, but these past two years have been absolutely amazing. I love my Delgado family. #gonnamissit"
And outfielder Bubby Riley: "What a ride. I loved every minute of my time at Delgado. I love my teammates, wish I could play with you guys forever. Gonna miss it"
If Delgado can repeat as Region XXIII champions and earn another berth in the South Central District championship, the Dolphins will get to host the tournament as part of the host site's rotation, an advantage Scheuermann would love to have.
"It's tough to beat somebody at home," Scheuermann said. "It's not an easy situation. I'm not making excuses, but you have to play super, super well. We put a little too much pressure on ourselves.... You're never satisfied as a coach and players; you always want more."
These Dolphins have tasted success like no other Delgado team, and they hope next season it won't come to an abrupt end.

A project to redevelop two properties has not started on time.
During their meeting Tuesday morning, members of the Warren County Redevelopment Authority discussed the Darr property at 10169 Rt. 6 in Mead Township and the property at 3 Railroad St. in Clarendon Borough which was previously owned by Randy Pierce. Dan Glotz, county planning director, said demolition work was supposed to start last week.
"There was a situation with the demolition company," Glotz said. "We were told by the contractor they'll begin tomorrow."
First, the workers will take on the Darr property. Once that is finished, they'll move on to the one in Clarendon.
Jamie Steffan, authority member, noted they had talked last month about township and borough officials being present during the work. According to Glotz, Dave Wholeben of Mead Township and Paul Pascuzzi of Clarendon Borough were both invited to be there.
John Zavinski, authority chairman, said the demolition process should not take long. Within two days after starting, he expected work on the first property to be done.
Due to the residential nature of the properties, Zavinski said they will not have to be inspected for asbestos. That is normally only required for commercial properties.
"Hopefully, by next month the buildings will be down and grass will be growing in their place," Zavinski said.
In other business, Zavinski noted there was a transfer of title for the Mark Allen Truver property at 10 Railroad St. in Clarendon to Wanda Miller. Over the last month or two, Steffan said, the authority had tried to contact her.
According to Glotz, it would be fair to ask her for a timeline to address the blight now that the property is in her hands. Pam Matve, chief clerk, said she would contact her.
The authority's next meeting will be at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, in the commissioners' conference room at the Warren County Courthouse.

Water is clear and at good levels in most area streams for trout fishing. Fishing has been good, including the fly fishing. Fly guys on Nine Mile Creek have been using caddis emergers, scuds and prince nymphs. Bait fishermen are using trout worms, salted minnows and Panther Martin lures.
Lake Ontario
Brown trout fishing has been very good and fish are being caught from the mouth of the Oswego River to the Salmon River. Small stickbaits (Rapala's, Thundersticks and Smithwicks) and spoons (Needle Fish and Evil Eyes) are both working with black and silver or chartreuse working well. Anglers casting from shore are also getting some trout on Cleos in blue and silver, glow green and gold. There are steelhead and brown trout biting in many of the lake's tributaries
Salmon River
The high water has made fishing more difficult, but anglers are still doing very well. There are still a lot of fish in the river and its tributaries. Fish the gravel areas as fish are actively spawning and there are also many drop backs in the slower water areas. Good baits are egg sacs (pink & white mesh), night-crawlers and pink worms. With the high water it may also pay to try some of the smaller streams like North and South Sandy, Grindstone Creek, and the Little Sandy Creek.
Oswego River
The river flow is slowly dropping. Steelhead are still being caught behind the hotels and Lock 7 on egg sacs, night crawlers, minnows and bucktail jigs. Yellow perch are hitting around the East Side Marina..
Oneida Lake
These warmer days have helped start the panfish bite. Fishing in the shallow water in the many bays and marinas is producing a mix of panfish. Bluegills and crappies are also being taken in Toad Harbor, Big Bay and Maple Bay. Small minnows and jigs with grubs are working. Few reports on bullhead, but they should start biting with this warmer weather. In a boat, check out Maple Bay. Off shore, try Muskrat Bay. Use leeches.
Cayuga Lake
Lot of small perch being caught, and few big ones as well. Use fathead minnows with a bare hook of small jig heads. Atlantic salmon and brown trout are hitting on the south end on stickbaits fished off planer boards. Anglers jigging are finding lake trout deep, in 150 to 180 feet of water.
Seneca Lake
Yellow perch fishing has slowed but some are still being taken in 20 feet of water on small minnows and grubs. Atlantic salmon are hitting great for anglers top-lining along the west shoreline, by the salt plant. Small perch colored stickbaits (Yo-Zuri) are working very well. Anglers fishing with egg sacs or Cleo's in blue & silver and green & silver are catching rainbows in the canal.
Owasco Lake
Perch being caught in 8 to 18 feet, near the buoys around the lake. Use fathead minnows on either a small hook or jig head. Some anglers are using bobber rigs.
Otisco Lake
Some crappies are being caught. Perch fishing is slow.
Skaneateles Lake
Anglers catching perch on northeastern side, just off the shelf between 18 and 30 feet of water. They're using fathead minnows on a bare hook or small jig head. The NYSDEC boat launch has been opened and the docks are in.
Sandy Pond
Yellow perch are still hitting in 5 to 10 feet of water. With the warmer weather bluegills and a few crappies are also being caught along the shoreline.
Sodus Bay
Anglers getting out in boats are still catching yellow perch on small minnows. Fish are mostly done spawning and spread out so keep searching. Bluegills and crappie fishing has picked up with the warmer weather and anglers are catching them on minnows and small jigs. Still no big bullhead activity to report, a few fish are being taken along with the panfish.
St. Lawrence River
Bullhead bite is on, with most being caught on big night crawlers. Panfish (perch, crappies, sunfish) are in about 5 to 10 feet of water. Use fathead minnows.
Whitney Point Reservoir
There are some bullheads being taken on the north end of the lake.

The main attractions en route have brief descriptions and often a photograph. The attractions cover a variety of interests and although it would be a very long day to visit each one, there should be something for everyone and a few stops along the way will help maintain interest levels.
Attractions include; local towns and villages, historic buildings, museums, picnic sites, viewpoints, lake, river and coastal access areas, boat cruises and train rides. Facilities at each attraction are included such as toilets, shops, cafes and whether car parks are free or not (National Trust car parks are identified and are free for members).

For a map and listings of all attractions visited by Lake District Drives, click here.
|Newlands Pass, Buttermere
Each route description page has an interactive map showing the route and the attractions plus a brief description of the route between each attraction.
In addition, for those with sat nav devices, the attraction description includes the Northing and Easting coordinates for the entrance which can be input to your sat nav for stress free navigation. Due to the quirks of sat nav route finding, no guarantee can be given that the sat nav route will be the same as the route described especially if not all attractions are visited.
The route description normally starts at a convenient centre and forms a clockwise loop thereby returning to the same centre. Of course you can start the route anywhere along the loop or do it in reverse although route descriptions and mileages would need adjusting. Also bear in mind that the mileage figures given are based on visiting every attraction along the way. If any attractions are bypassed, the total mileage is likely to be reduced.
If you want to print the route description page, that should be displayed without any photographs in order to be a little more printer friendly.
|Keswick centre
Each route description page has the facility to download the sat nav coordinates for the attractions as Points Of Interest (POI) files. Coordinates can be downloaded as .csv (Garmin) or .ov2 & .bmp (TomTom) allowing simple upload to your sat nav.
To install the POI coordinates on your sat nav, Garmin owners need to follow the instructions here and TomTom owners need to follow the instructions here (TomTom files firstly need to be extracted from .zip file).
If you want to download all the attraction POI coordinates for all the drives then click the relevant link below;

Leonardo DiCaprio Breaks Up With Girlfriend Erin Heatherton
Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio has finally lived up to his highly acclaimed movie title "Catch me if you can" once again in a relationship, only this time the other half to watch Leonardo take off is his Victoria Secret's super model girlfriend Erin Heatherton, who finally can say nothing more than call him "The Departed".
As reported by US Weekly, according to a confirmed source; the couple split a few weeks ago, is still on good terms & still care about each other (yeah…right!!). The Oscar (Once again) for the spilt goes to the 'busy work schedules' (poor thing…always been such a cute & readily available scapegoat). Going by Leo's previous relationship records, we can very well hope for a 'reunion' to be on the cards anytime.
Leo's always had a thing for glam models, evidently reflected by his dating scrap book; going back as early as him dating model Kristen Zang, involving a break up & a reunion to dating British model & socialite Emma Miller. In 2001, he started dating Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen, once again involving a break up & a reunion, before biding adieu in 2005. In the same year November, Leo started going out with Israeli model Bar Rafaeli, off & on once again before ending the relationship in May 2011. Within weeks Leo was dating actress Blake Lively before the ending the relationship in October 2011.
Erin (23) & Leonardo (37) set sail on the relationship boat; 'Titanic' since its 'Inception' in December 2011, soon after Leo's beak up with Blake Lively & now that this Titanic too has hit the iceberg, it will be interesting to see if it can remain afloat for a while in the form of a reunion, before it sinks to the bottom for good.
Leonardo however currently has his hands full, shooting for 'Great Gatsby' in Australia along with 'Wolf of Wall Street' & 'Django Unchained' in the US.

Graham Merrett
"Life is different in the Ridge"
July 23 - July 31, 2011
Graham is an Outback Bush artist who works from his own experiences. He has exhibited widely in Australia and has won numerous Art Awards. 'Most of the paintings and sculptures I create are scenes from my life or the lives of people I have known' (Graham Merrett).
Graham's connection's with the Ridge goes back about 60 years. It was when reading Idriess' book on Lightning Ridge, as a 14 year old boy that he knew he had to go there. Arriving in 1963 he worked the Nobbys field long enough to get enough money to get married.
Life took Graham to the tin and gold fields of Far North Queensland where he raised and educated his family. Then Graham was off to the Central Queensland Sapphire fields to mine and paint for exhibitions in Brisbane the Gold Coast and Melbourne. He returned to the Ridge in the mid 90's to continue mining, sculpting and painting. With some, 160 paintings in the pipeline, describing life around the Ridge, there is no end in sight to the paintings and sculptures yet to be produced from the inexhaustible material available.
'Merrett is a Naive and utilises direct, simple, childlike solutions to the problems of perspective, colour and narrative; reminding this critic of early Nolan and he acknowledges an artistic debt to Drysdale and Nolan and the influences are still apparent' (Norman Ingram art critic Gold Coast Bulletin).

The chart below shows the one year performance of SBC shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, SBC's low point in its 52 week range is $9.75 per share, with $12.12 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $11.52.

Thanks for the supportDecember 08,2012On behalf of the Rutland County Long-Term Recovery Committee, I would like to thank Sherri Birkheimer-Rooker of the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Southern Vermont, Mary Crowley, and Karen Seward for all of the countless hours and hard work they put into the creation and fruition of The heARTs of Rutland Project. Also an immense thank you to all of the sponsors, volunteers and artists that made the event on Nov. 2 at The Paramount Theatre possible.
On Dec. 3 Sherri, Mary and Karen presented a donation of $22,000 to the Rutland County Long-Term Recovery Committee for disaster relief in Rutland County. I cannot begin to express the gratitude our committee has for this kind and generous gesture. These funds will be used to help fulfill unmet needs for victims of Tropical Storm Irene.
Although it may not seem evident in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, there are still individuals and families here in our communities that have not completely recovered from Tropical Storm Irene of August 2011. These victims have tried to make do with minor repairs or no repair of any kind. The funds provided will make for warmer, healthier, and safer homes.
This project has most certainly shown that Rutland has heart, and this gesture will definitely warm the hearts of individuals and families in need.

Gov. Bob Riley was at Brookwood Pharmaceuticals off Lakeshore Parkway today as part of a three-city tour boasting the state's winning of an economic development award.
Southern Business and Development magazine has named Alabama "State of the Year" for 2007, the fifth time the state has captured the economic development title in the past six years.
"Alabama is leading the South, and the South is leading the nation," Riley said during his Birmingham stop.
The governor started the day at Westwood Technologies Inc. in Huntsville and will wind up the tour at the Hyundai auto plant this afternoon. The three stops are among the 473 new and expanding industry announcements that took place in Alabama during the year, earning Alabama the award.
The state's economic development strategy has placed particular emphasis on the aerospace, life sciences and automobile sectors, and the three companies being visited by Riley on Wednesday are in those industries.
Neal Wade, director of the Alabama Development Office, is with the governor on the trip and is joined at each stop by company officials, employees and local economic developers.
Southern Business and Development is based in Birmingham, with Mike Randle serving as publisher.

China sees red as Ferrari damages ancient wall
AFP – Chinese citizens are up in arms after a Ferrari sports car left tyre tracks atop Nanjing's ancient city wall, possibly permanently damaging the protected landmark.
China's outspoken netizens heaped criticism on the Italian automaker after a domestic sales agent allowed the car to be driven on the centuries-old wall in a promotional event, the official Xinhua news agency said Wednesday.
The incident also highlights growing anger over a widening rich-poor divide in China, where brazen displays of extravagance and wealth are attracting more and more criticism.
A crane hoisted the car to the top of the wall and video of the event showed the blood-red Ferrari doing 360 degree turns, with cleaners trying in vain to scrub dark black tyre marks from the grey brick the following day.
The affected section near the eastern city's Gate of China — a renowned ancient ceremonial gateway — dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is said to be among the best preserved sections of the wall.
"We cannot tolerate that Ferrari used the ancient city gate to make a show and ruined it. If you do not respect the city, you do not deserve to stay here," said one Nanjing resident in a microblog posting.
Xinhua said the car involved was a special edition Ferrari 458 Italia valued at six million yuan ($950,000), and the organisers of the event spent more than $12,000 to hold the ceremony at the site.
"A 6 million yuan Ferrari versus a 600-year-old ancient city wall… What are the Nanjing authorities doing? So sad," said another microblogger who gave the name Baobei Fei.
Ferrari apologised in a statement on its website on Tuesday, saying it respected Chinese culture and was working to resolve the problems caused by its distributor Kuaiyi Automobile.
The Nanjing government has also "reprimanded" the officials responsible as the event took place without higher authorisation, Xinhua said.
But it might be too late to reverse the impact, experts say.
"The (structural) damage may be invisible at the moment, but very detrimental," Yang Guoqing, a preservation expert, was quoted by Xinhua as saying.

I was playing a 1800 in bullet the chess the other day, and I must say, he played really well. He kept in line with me for most of the games, even stealing a victory from me. What I remarked that was significantly weaker though was his speed. Yes, he often flagged in winning positions.
This brings up the premove. I absolutely adore it. I also like chess.com's ability to premove up to 8 moves!!! That means that it'll only take 0.8s for those moves in a lagfree situation.
It may not sound like much, but if you accumulate this throughout a whole game, you will find yourself with extra time to think, and more time on your clock to win the tight ones.
Gamewise, that was an epic failure for me, falling into a simple discovered attack. However, my premoves served me well and I got the win I should have had.
But all of this is beside the point. My purpose here today is to refute the premove in the opening stage. The classical strategy is to engage in a lot of captures, because generally people don't premove that. What they do premove is moving another piece, and now you have a free piece!
I have faced this position many times before, and have succeeded in overcoming this disadvantage once or twice.
Here's a trick with e4:
Standard live. My own rating in that category is 1896
Standard (live chess) on chess.com or OTB standard time control? :)
thanks just to give you insider's information, a rating of 2100 in bullet is usually equal to a really solid 1800 in other time controls such as standard
Haha, laughed so hard at the 3...c5?? comment! :)

(B) Responsibilities of Area Coordinators
Each Area Coordinator is a peer among equals, selected from among the ministry of the church for the purpose of overseeing the ministers, churches, or individual lay members in his assigned area. It is understood that, as God adds to His church, He will raise up more members and ministers, and that the original areas assigned to each Area Coordinator will eventually be reapportioned to admit such expected growth. The responsibilities of the Area Coordinators are as follows:
(1) Responsible for the spiritual well-being and doctrinal faithfulness of each chartered or non-chartered church, hosted fellowship group, or individual lay member in his assigned area.
(2) Responsible as an organizer, counselor, teacher, spiritual example and friend.
(3) Responsible for putting in place church development programs, such as developing local church mailing lists, conducting leadership seminars, establishing speaking clubs, ladies' clubs, youth clubs and activities, approving those who are capable of being song leaders, appointing or approving those who are authorized to deliver sermonettes, approving the issuance of Speaking Credentials, and approving any others whom he may deem qualified to assume positions of leadership in the local churches.
(4) Responsible for seeking out, working with and developing potential teachers and speakers. As Paul instructed Timothy to "ordain elders in every church", so the Area Coordinator, together with other ministers and members in his area, shall determine the qualifications of men who can be ordained as "Elders" or Deacons, or deaconesses.
(5) Responsible for approving as "hosts" those he feels are qualified to lead an hosted fellowship group; for raising up new churches; for promoting local and regional evangelistic campaigns, leadership seminars, and youth activities.
(6) Responsible for preserving and maintaining the "faith once delivered to the Saints", and dealing with any aberrations in doctrine, divisions or dissensions which might arise among the churches in his area, bearing in mind what Paul commanded Timothy, "Preach the word: be instant [keep at it] in season, out of season: reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering [patience] and doctrine. For the time will come when they shall heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears, and they shall turn away from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (I Timothy 4:2-4). Responsible for pointing out to his fellow Area Coordinators any false teacher and who would lead the flock away from the doctrines and practices of the Church of God, Ministries International.
(7) The Area Coordinator is responsible for maintaining financial records of all Churches of which he is the pastor. (He may wish to appoint his wife, an assistant pastor, a deacon, or responsible lay member to assist him) so that the brethren can receive full benefit allowed by the Internal Revenue Service under Tax Code 501(c)3 for deduction of charitable contribution to the church. These should be submitted to headquarters quarterly, and he should encourage other churches in his area to submit financial records directly to headquarters, and they should be on time.
(8) Responsible for faithful attendance at the Church's annual "Feast of Tabernacles", and encouraging all those in his area to do so. Responsible for programs to assist the poor and elderly to attend the feast, and responsible for helping to search out and locate potential feast sites for the future.
(9) Each Area Coordinator is accountable to his peers and the membership of the church. If he should act contrary to the policies, doctrines and practices of the church he will be removed from his ministerial functions.
SECTION 4 Church Governance -- Decision and Policy Making of the Church In accordance to Jesus' words in the New Testament, as He established His church. Jesus stated, "And I will give unto you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." This authority was given to all the apostles (the ministry). It is clear from scripture that Jesus left no one person in charge. Each had a personal responsibility and they all served the brethren as a body (team). It shall be the policy of the Church of God, Ministries International to operate in like fashion. It is also clear that the New Testament Church established a spokesperson to represent the church as is the example found in Acts 15. At the Jerusalem Conference, following the elders and the apostles meeting (vs.6), James reported the conclusion of the matter to the brethren (the church). Acts 15:19. To accomplish the task of the operation of the church, to set policy and make decisions, The Church of God, Ministries International will hold an annual ministerial conference to:
A. Prioritize the needs of the work B. Appoint individuals or teams best qualified to fill those needs C. Determine the future direction of the work, its needs, and its goals and objectives. All decisions shall be by a majority vote of the ministry conducted at the annual ministerial conference, except in cases that require a special meeting.
ARTICLE 5The Organizational Structure
SECTION 1 Organizational Structure / Membership
(A) Christ said, "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this Rock (Christ) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18). Christ is the Head of the Church and therefore, shall build it.
(B) Membership: "But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him". Membership will be those individuals who voluntarily chose to be a part of this organization, and whose names are recorded on the roles at the home office. All members shall have equal rights as prescribed herein.
1. The Church of God, Ministries International recognizes the absolute sovereignty of each individual, and the deeply PERSONAL nature of the relationship of each individual lay member to Jesus Christ, Who is the Living Head of the Church. Therefore, all members are in VOLUNTARY association with the church and its ministry.
2. At any time a member begins to cause division, or begins espousing, preaching, teaching, handing out tapes, literature, or materials of any kind which set forth anything contrary to the doctrines and practices of the Church of God, Ministries International they may be removed as a member in good standing by a special meeting of the ministry called for that purpose, and by a majority vote of the ministry.
( I Cor. 12:18). " No man can come to me unless the Father draw him..." (John 6:44)
(C) " For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many." (I Cor. 12:12-14)
(D) Whereas Christ said unto his disciples, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Mat 16:19). "And again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am l in the midst of them." (Matthew 18: 19-20). Christ established a MINISTRY to Administer and Operate the Church. ( I Cor. 12: 5,6).
The Ministry shall resolve minor issues within the church, pursuant to Christ's instructions. If the local minister cannot resolve the matter he should seek counsel with two or three other ministers. If the issue still cannot be resolved, it should be taken to the Area Coordinator for resolution.
(E) "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues." (I Cor. 12: 28). "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:" (Eph. 4: 12-13). .
(F) The Church of God, Ministries International recognizes that there are many different FUNCTIONS within the ministry (servants) of the church, and, within the Members of the Church itself. However, no Host or Member shall ever supersede the minister assigned oversight of any particular church group.
The Church of God, Ministries International REJECTS the hierarchical type government structure that incorporates a RANK SYSTEM within the ministry.
(G) "The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock." (I Peter 5: 1-4). Ministers are servants of Jesus Christ. They are not to lord over the flock.
SECTION 2 Conflict Resolution: All issues which cannot be resolved on the local level or by the Local Minister, or Area Coordinator will be decided by the ministry pursuant to the Biblical example ..." When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question."...And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them."..."And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. (Acts 15: 2, 4, 6).
Criteria for resolving major issues:
(A) Need or problem exists
(B) Recommendations for resolution can come from the ministry or members
(C) Ministerial Resolution: to be decided at the annual ministerial conference or emergency meeting, if needed.
ARTICLE 6Doctrinal Beliefs
(1) The Church of God, Ministries International hereby adopts as its doctrines the whole word of God, as revealed in its most ancient manuscripts.
(2) The Church of God, Ministries International hereby adopts the Statement of Beliefs as attached to these Constitution and By-Laws as Attachment A.
(1) The Church of God, Ministries International declares it is an "OPEN ARMS CHURCH". Any person, regardless of nationality, race, gender, color, creed, religious or political persuasion, is welcome to fellowship with the Church of God, Ministries International at any of its regular worship services, Bible studies, annual festivals or other church occasions, so long as all such persons refrain from espousing, preaching, teaching, handing out tapes, literature, or materials of any kind which set forth anything contrary to the doctrines and practices of the Church of God, Ministries International.
(2) The most important criterion for fellowship is the spirit of forgiveness and tolerance; an absence of judging or condemning others, and a willingness to be obedient to Christ's instructions in Matthew 18 of going to one's brother ( or sister) in the case of any conflicts and resolving the issue in dispute.
(3) Fellowship with the church may not be denied because of "personal problems" in one's private life. Rather, it is the belief that all such persons need the buttressing of church worship services and fellowship with brethren of like mind who are themselves striving to live a life of overcoming Satan's wiles, their own human natures, and the world around them.
(4) The Church of God, Ministries International rejects the traditional concept of "excommunication" or "marking" as practiced by various religious hierarchies. Instead, the church accepts the admonition of Jesus Christ, "...if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou has gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them tell it unto the church; but if he neglects to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican" (Matthew 18:15-17).
Furthermore, the Church of God, Ministries International accepts the admonition of Paul, "Now I beseech you, brethren mark (take note of) them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them" (Romans 16:17). Paul wrote to the lay membership, thus placing the responsibility for avoiding heretics or unruly persons on the shoulders of the individual. Each Area Coordinator, minister or host of a fellowship group is charged with the responsibility of keeping peace in the local group, and may, as required, deny fellowship to any person who is disorderly or contentious, or who attempts to espouse contrary doctrines or practices.
The Church urges each lay member to obey God's word which commands us, "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, YE WHICH ARE SPIRITUAL, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted" (Galatians 6:1)
(5) As an "open arms, open door" church the Church of God, Ministries International welcomes close cooperation with independently-incorporated church groups, so long as said church groups do not conflict in doctrine and beliefs of the Church of God, Ministries International.
ARTICLE 8Tithes & Offerings
(1) "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts,..." (Mal. 3:8-10). "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these OUGHT YE TO HAVE DONE, and not to leave the other undone." (Matthew 23:23). "For the priesthood being CHANGED there is made of necessity a change also of the law. (tithing law changed from the Levitical Priesthood to the Church)"(Heb 7:12)
(2) "Thou shalt truly (accurately) tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that you mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there; when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee; Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and SHALT GO unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose;..."(Deut. 14:22-25). Truly God commands we save a second tithe to be used as a festival tithe.
(3) "Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles: and thy shall not appear before the Lord empty: Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee." (Deut 16:16-17)..The Church of God, Ministries International will take up offerings on each of God's seven annual Holy Days. At no time will offerings be taken up during regular Sabbath services or special Bible Studies.
The Church of God, Ministries International will recognize the principle of tithes and offerings as outlined in the Holy Scriptures. However, the Church of God, Ministries International recognizes the individual sovereignty associated with giving and will not make any attempt to enforce this principle upon anyone.
ARTICLE 9Local Churches
(1) All local churches shall be assigned a Minister of Record (Titus 1:5)
(2) No host, deacon or deaconness shall supersede the Minister of Record in Church matters (Matthew 16:19)
(3 ) When possible, worship services of each local church shall consist of the standard format:
(a) Song Service (two or three hymns) (If music is available and a song leader is present)
(b) Opening Prayer
(c) Sermonette (if minister or credentialed speaker available)
(d) Hymn
(e) Announcements -- Should be brief.
(f) Sermon (Taped or Live)
(g) Hymn
(f) Closing Prayer
*It is recognized that some hosts are female and male leadership may not be present. In that case, adjustments may be made as needed.
(4) No Host or Member will be permitted to speak without having an approved Speaking Credential approved by the Area Coordinator.
(5) The Church of God, Ministries International, adhering to Holy Writ, expressly forbids women to preach, or speak to the church during worship services, except that women can speak during seminars or conferences when scheduled, or can teach other women and children as permitted by scripture.
(6) The Church of God, Ministries International eschews the practice of going from" door to door" and attempting to teach those who have not asked, or force literature upon those who have not asked for it.
ARTICLE 10Amendments
(1) This Constitution and these By-Laws of the Church of God, Ministries International may not be amended except at a meeting of the Full Ministry, and only after any proposed amendment has been submitted to the Ministry in writing.
(2) Constitutional amendments shall be approved by a 2/3 vote of all ministers. (Pursuant to Article 5; Section 2).

|[TenTec] re should i buy an orion now

<<<I just can't see any viable reason to not try/own an Orion. Especially any technical reasons.>>>
I'd go through the reflector archive for the past 2-3 years and look at what earlier purchasers went through.
If you have a lot of free time to tinker, maybe it's okay. For example if you are retired and have a lot of patience maybe it's okay.
I'm pretty low on time and patience. I want dependability. I want to be able to unbox the rig, power it up, hook an antenna to it, ground, mic, key, cans...whatever i need, adjust collector PA current and mic gain, adjust AF/RF gain, tune around, hit the PTT button and start making contacts.
If it's much more involved than that, or its behavior mysteriously changes from one day to the next on a regular basis, then I start loosing interest.
So the likes and dislikes probably have as much to do with operator personality as anything else.

Cheapo Gas
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man

|Tame That Gas Guzzler
It would seem that there's a lot of questions regarding gas stations and the fuel they sell. Let me first try to explain a little bit of the background. Gasoline is made from crude oil. Crude oil extracted from different places around the earth has different characteristics in each place. The crude oil then needs to be refined from its "crude" form to something that we can use (i.e.. gasoline, motor oil, heating oil, lubricating oil, and many many more things). A refinery makes money by selling products made from crude oil. The less they waste or throw away, the more money they make.
With that in mind, consider this scenario: A major oil company (lets call it "Major Oil") has a refinery somewhere. They purchase crude oil from some region in the world. They have a process that can give them 99.5% efficiency (only 0.5% waste). So far, this is a good situation. In order to change or convert or "refine" the crude oil into user products, the oil has to go through a process. As the process goes on, some of the components used to crack or refine the oil wear down and do not result in such a high conversion rate. So, it would be safe to assume that when the materials are fresh (the cracking catalyst) that the conversions would be right where the company, "Major Oil", wanted them to be. However, as the catalyst gets used, it becomes less efficient. So, by the end of the day, the products are not "as clean" as what was produced in the beginning of the day.
Now, let us also assume that "Major Oil" also has a chain of fuel stations. Since it is their name on the product, they would want the best for them. So, they get first choice for the "good" stuff. The stuff left over at the end of the day is available for sale to anyone that wants it. This is where the "off brand" companies come in. Let's say there is a chain of gas stations called "Cheapo Gas". Mr. Cheapo does not have his own refinery and buys his product from other refineries around his region. Mr. Cheapo only cares about meeting minimum required standards so he can sell his product at rock bottom prices to his customers.
Now, when it comes specifically to automotive grade gasoline, the Federal Government has a strict set of minimum standards that fuel must meet. In order to enhance these standards, some companies add different additives to their fuel. Some of these additives may be cleaning agents or stabilization additives or the like. "Major Oil" puts in a lot of the good stuff that has been determined to be good for your car and his price is $3.85 per gallon of fuel (lets assume a mid grade of 89 octane, we will get into octane later).
However, "Cheapo Gas" just adds the minimum that the Government mandates he needs. His price is $3.75 per gallon. Now, both gallons of fuel came from the same refinery, but one costs more than the other. Which would you buy? Now, this all depends on you, your car, and how you approach things. If you feel that the minimum is sufficient, and your car doesn't seem to perform any different, then use the cheaper fuel. However, if you are the person that would rather spend a penny today to save a thousand tomorrow, then try the other stuff. Also, there are many more marketing factors that come into play regarding the price of fuel, but the original question stemmed from "is all fuel the same". The simple answer to that question is no.
Now, you may recall I mentioned a word before called Octane. Well, it is basically an anti-knock index. Broken down into more laymen's terms, it is how fast will the fuel ignite. Without getting into to technical details, your vehicles engine was designed to operate on a certain grade (octane rating) of fuel. This is the design of the cylinder heads, the exhaust system, the ignition system, and fuel delivery system. There are many factors that go into the equation. With modern day cars, most computers will be able to adjust the engine's operating parameters to match the optimal settings for the fuel you are using. On some cars, you may not notice a difference from one grade of gas to another. However, on some others, you will notice a performance change. For instance, if you car runs bad on 87, and good on 89, with no noticeable difference at 92 (all in octane ratings), then you should use 89 octane. However, if you do "feel" the difference at 92, then I would suggest using 92. You do not need to run anything higher than you car needs.
Now, let's get back to additives. What is all that about? Well, different fuel companies have developed or licensed the use of different additive packages. They each claim to have certain properties that would be good for your car. One may claim to have good detergents that keep your fuel system clean. Another may claim to reduce the amount of soot or carbon left over by the combustion process. Unfortunately, you as a consumer do not have a choice as to what additives you get other than picking different gas stations to buy your fuel. Even though "Major Oil" may have refined the fuel, he may sell his base stock to "Secondary Oil" or "the Next Biggest Guy Oil". Who, in turn, would add their own additive package.
I hope that this has cleared some of the questions up! If not, please feel free to email me back with your specific question.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

March 15 postgame quotes: Sutter, Gaborik, Toffoli
Darryl Sutter, on the 2-1 loss:
You're playing against a team that's a top team in the conference, and we had trouble only scoring one goal and giving up two easy ones.
Sutter, on allowing two "easy" goals:
We got beat out of the corner and beat at the top of the circles.
Marian Gaborik, on the loss:
We talked about that we have to play our game. They played back to back. We struggled in some areas making little plays and struggled to create more quality chances.
Gaborik, on facing Phoenix on Monday:
Well, we have to refocus. We should have a good start and be good around the net. They're a greedy team as well. It's another big game that we have to get our two points. We started out with two losses at home, and just make sure that we have to come back winning.
Toffoli, on extra emotion in Saturday night's game:
Yeah, it's playoff hockey right now. We're fighting for points. They're fighting for points. It was a hard game. I think we didn't play the best that we could, but I think we know now that the rest of the season here we've got to play hard and we've got to play the right way.
Toffoli, on the key to scoring his goal:
Just shooting the puck. Stolly got the puck on net, we were filtering in, it went on my stick, and I just put it in.
Toffoli, on facing Phoenix on Monday:
We've got to play our game. We've got to play the right way. We know that they're a fast team. They've got a lot of skill, so we've got to play hard. Just play a strong 60 minutes.
Toffoli, on whether Los Angeles wanted to send Anaheim a message with a win:
I don't think it's just them. I think we want to want to win every game right now. It's playoff hockey. We should be playing like it's us fighting for points. We've got to be better, and I think we all know that we should be better.
