We've seen the transformation hundreds of times – people who came to us full of doubt and uncertainty become secure in the knowledge of their rightful place in God's great kingdom. The change may start slowly – in a Bible Study class or choir participation, perhaps – but once it begins, it picks up speed. Serving Jesus together, shared experiences, time spent in prayer – all bring us closer to our highest calling.
Take the first step toward personal renewal – join us for services this week!
Above all else, Mt. Harmony is a church that loves Jesus, loves people, and loves our community. We're just real people, but we are passionate about helping people become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Mt. Harmony partners with over 45,000 churches (16 million Christians) who call themselves Southern Baptists. Together we support 10,000 missionaries in 154 nations around the world.

161908 Car Rental Booking Engine
This project was awarded to InfluxiveInc for $450 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids1
Project Description
I am planning to start a website where people can search for rental car rates from several different sources. Ideally, visitors will be able to enter the following:
- their zip code
- their pick up date and time
- their drop of date and time
After entering in this information, rental car rates will be displayed based on first the closest locations to the appropriate zip code and second the most inexpensive rates available. I want a booking engine that displays results similar to [url removed, login to view] (only the car rental portion).
(NOTE: With the [url removed, login to view] engine, the customer enters a city name...This booking engine will be able to search rates using the customer's ZIP or POSTAL code)
Ideally, the results would display rates that come directly from the car rental company's websites, but be listed on a landing page from my website. The booking (or reserving) action would direct the visitor to the the actual companies website. I would like to add affiliate codes so I can make a profit from the referrals.
I do NOT have direct feeds (RSS or otherwise) from the car rental companies web sites, so the booking engine will have to search each car rental company's website independently and produce results by itself.
In Short:
A car rental booking engine that allows visitors to enter in both their zip code and pick up and drop of information. A landing page that shows the rate results, and a transfer page that will direct the visitor to the car rental companies website to complete the booking.
Additional Info
The booking engine would include BOTH airport locations AND off-airport locations. I would also like a transferable "widget" that I can place on future sites. The widget will have the same booking fields (zip code, pick up date and time and drop off date and time)and the results will take you to the same landing page.
- Escrow will be available
- The programmer will not be paid anything until the job is complete
- If there is any confusion of the description of this project, it can be canceled by either party (webmaster or programmer) prior to beginning this project. Any and all Escrow will be reversed if the project is canceled.

People pick strawberries from my field for two dollars a pound.
Since you've been here, my number of strawberries have gone down.
You put some of the strawberries you pick in your baskets but you eat some when I don't look.
You're going to send me to the poorhouse because you're a crook.
I don't like people like you because you're dishonest and you're a dirty rat.
You have a big strawberry stain around your mouth and I'm charging you an extra ten bucks for that.

From Our Editors
With each bounce off the bongo trampoline, jumpers feel a sensation akin to walking on the moon. Though seemingly effortless, each bounce not only thrills participants but also gives them a thorough full-body workout. The trained staff at Bungee Zoom Entertainment LLC ensures that patrons are securely fastened into their harnesses before setting them free to jump and bounce with the assistance of a pair of bungee cords attached to metal standards. The cords attach securely to the harness and hoist jumpers up smoothly, offering great vantage points from which to spot a lost uncle. Bungee Zoom Entertainment LLC is located inside West Ridge Mall, which offers a variety of other diversions once patrons are all bounced out.

Adding to Pennsylvania's fiscal troubles comes news from Uncle Sam of another circle of despair.
The latest U.S. Census' annual population estimate shows Pennsylvania lost 7,700 residents in 2016.
So what's a one-year population loss of less than one-tenth of one percent have to do with the state's bleak finances?
While the population loss is small, it's an unexpected concern added onto Pennsylvania's woes that already include about $60 billion in pension debt, an unfinished and debt-ridden $31.6 billion budget, rising borrowing costs due to one of the...

Any of you master gardeners out there? My zucchini started off great, as
zucchinis usually do, but I'm not getting anything now. There are male
and female flower buds but they are drying up before they open. On a
couple of plants it almost looks like the new growth is very bunched
together (I'm probably not explaining this well), as though there is not
enough stem between where the leaves and flowers are growing. However
the others look okay. Leaves are green and healthy enough, I noticed
they do have some squash bugs, I planned on spraying this evening.
I thought of heat stress, but I've grown squash for 20 years in this
climate and not had the problem before. Some kind of soil deficiency?

Australian guidelines for low-risk drinking
Alcohol is the most widely used legal drug in Australian society. It is so widely used, that many people don't think of it as a drug, and may not realise that it can be very harmful. In fact, alcohol is a significant cause of injury and ill health, violence, crime, family breakdown, road accidents, loss of productivity in workplaces and death in Australia.
Most people seem to understand how much alcohol they can drink to remain under the legal limits for driving, but many people are confused about how much alcohol they can drink before it could be harmful to their health and wellbeing.
While there is no safe level of drinking, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has developed a set of guidelines to help people make informed decisions about their drinking and the risks to their health. This fact sheet provides an overview of the NHMRC's Australian guidelines.
What do we mean by…
Risk: the probability that an unwanted event (such as a car accident, injury or illness) will occur.
Harm: unwanted effects, such as injury and disease, from drinking alcohol. For example:
Standard drink: any drink that contains approximately 10 grams of alcohol (12.5ml of pure alcohol).
Different types of alcoholic drinks contain different amounts of alcohol. Each of these drinks equals approximately one standard drink:

Survey: Small-firm optimism highest in more than 4 years
Small business owners in April were more optimistic than they had been since December, 2007, the month the U.S. economy slipped into recession, according to the National Federation of Independent Business.
However, the NFIB's monthly Index of Small Business Optimism for April only returned to the February, 2011 level, indicating the gain over the past year has been zero.
The long-term negative outlook of business owners is apparent in the fact that many of the measures are still in negative territory but are better than they have been in recent months. Consider:
- Earnings trends improved by 11 points in April, the best reading in 5 years but still a negative 12%
- The net percent of all owners (seasonally adjusted) reporting higher sales over the past three months gained another 3 points. However, 1 in 5 still cite weak sales as their top business problem.
- 12% of respondents added an average of 3.3 workers per firm over the past few months, and 14% reduced employment an average of 2.9 workers per firm.
"While the index remains historically weak, there was good news in the details of April's report," said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. "Job creation plans, job openings and capital spending plans all increased. Hopefully, this performance will hold in the coming months.
"However, GDP and employment growth news has not been good; the Euro debt crisis continues to make news, and Congress leaves us on an identical path: huge deficits, a terrifying amount of liquidity at the Fed, and no indication that anything positive will be done," he added. "Most likely, there will be only small improvements on Main Street in optimism or hiring and spending this year."
Inflation may become a problem for the small-business community in the months to come, the NFIB report said. Seasonally adjusted a net 8% of respondents have raised prices, up 2 points from March and 9 points from January. Price hikes were pervasive as owners pass along to consumers their rising costs for labor and materials.
NFIB surveyed 1,817 small-business owners in April.

Depending on how fast you are running your SPI communications, a simple potential divider will do the trick.
There's two questions I have in this level converter topic:1. High -> Low QuoteDepending on how fast you are running your SPI communications, a simple potential divider will do the trick.Do real resistors behave so bad, compared to ideal resistors without any frequency dependency, and compared to diodes I see usually as level converter recommendation
2. Low -> High , if I do not want to rely on the assumption that 3V is high enough to be a logic HIGH in the 5V area ( KirAsh4's issue )Do I need some IC doing the level shift, or minimally 2 transistors to get it non-inverting, or is there another electronics trick to "amplify" a 0...3V signal I'm not aware of

Ronaldinho struck twice and Filippo Inzaghi was also on target as Milan beat 10-man Sampdoria 3-0 at San Siro yesterday. The Brazilian stepped up to convert a 55th-minute penalty conceded for handball by the Sampdoria defender Stefano Lucchini, who was sent off, and he doubled the lead 11 minutes later after some nice interplay with his compatriot Kaka down the left.
Inzaghi dodged past the goalkeeper Luca Castellazzi to slip the ball home in stoppage time and make sure Samp stayed without a league win.
Catania beat Sicilian rivals Palermo, who played the second half with 10 men after Moris Carrozzieri was sent off for a second yellow, 2-0 to earn themselves a share of the Serie A top spot.
They have 14 points from seven games and are level with Udinese, who came from 2-0 down to salvage a 2-2 draw at Lecce, and Napoli, who beat Juventus 2-1 on Saturday after a late Ezequiel Lavezzi goal secured a 2-1 win.
Juve's second consecutive league defeat extends their winless run to five games in all competitions and increases the pressure on the coach Claudio Ranieri before tomorrow's Champions League match against Real Madrid in Turin.
The Brazilian striker Amauri volleyed Juventus in front just after the hour mark, but the Slovakia midfielder Marek Hamsik equalised for the hosts three minutes later when he glided in unmarked to head home a Lavezzi cross. The Argentine striker then pounced on a loose clearance and sprinted into the area to fire Napoli to victory in the 80th minute. The loss leaves Juve five points off the pace in Serie A.
"We played a good match. We made some silly mistakes but we also did some good moves," Ranieri said. "It's not a crisis. We're going through a tough spell but it's not a crisis."
In Florence, Giampaolo Pazzini drilled home a penalty five minutes before halftime to set the home side on their way after Reggina goalkeeper Andrea Campagnolo was given a red card for felling Mario Alberto Santana as he raced towards goal.
The in-form Italy forward Gilardino, resting on the bench for most of the game ahead of tomorrow's Champions League trip to Bayern Munich, steered a diagonal shot into the far corner in the 75th minute. He then headed past substitute keeper Christian Puggioni, who had rushed out of his goal, to slot the ball into an empty net nine minutes from time for his sixth league goal this season. Winless Reggina stay second from bottom with two points.
The Juventus match was the last of three homes games Napoli had to play with the end stands of their stadium closed as punishment for the trouble that marred their opening day fixture at Roma.

ABOARD THE R. IAN FLETCHER, off Nyack, N.Y. -- About a thousand years ago, a hurricane of cataclysmic proportions swept up the Hudson River.
Or perhaps it was the mother of all northeasters. No one knows. What is clear, however, is that the force of the storm was beyond any recorded or remembered human experience. Great swaths of the river bottom were scraped up and moved about in one ferocious flood.
Robin E. Bell, a senior research scientist at Columbia University, has seen the storm in her imagination, and touched with her fingers the dense, black-earth core drilling samples that reveal, in their banded marks, the river's ancient trauma.
From the deck of the Fletcher, a 36-foot-long work boat that sails out of Nyack, laden with computers and mini-cameras, sonar fish and salinity meters, Dr. Bell and other scientists at Columbia and the State University of New York at Stony Brook are mapping the Hudson from the bottom up, trying to understand how the ghosts of the river's past, like the perfect storm of A.D. 1000, might provide clues about its future.Continue reading the main story
''It's about trying to find out these secrets, these time markers, so that you can put everything together,'' she said on a recent cold, gray day, as the boat bobbed gently on a slack tide just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Dr. Bell's mission, which is to build a complete model of the Hudson's bottom using every high-tech tool of the information age, is revealing things about the river that its murky waters have long kept veiled.
Huge natural reefs, made entirely of oyster shells, have been found for the first time. The reefs, built by hundreds of generations of oysters growing and dying and crumbling upon one another's backs, are at least 6,000 years old, predating the Great Pyramids. Sunken ships, one more than 150 feet long, that were long rumored or vaguely placed on shipping charts have been pinpointed.
But perhaps the most startling findings are coming from the most humble of sources: the river-bottom mud itself, which is giving up the secrets of how, why and where it is deposited.
In December, the federal Environmental Protection Agency, citing its own research about the properties of Hudson River mud, said that the General Electric Company, which dumped toxic PCB's into the river from its factories 150 miles north of here, should be required to clean up the chemicals that have become embedded in the sediment. It would be one of the largest and most complex river cleanups in American history, with a price tag of $460 million in dredging costs alone.
But General Electric's research suggests that the PCB's are best left where they are, entombed by successive layers of mud. The natural containment of the chemicals, G.E. officials say, grows more secure with every year and every new layer of silt.
Dr. Bell cautions that while her mapping project did not focus on the areas proposed for dredging, the portrait of the river that is emerging from her work suggests that both the government and the company are partly right. Changes to the river bottom happen slowly, as G.E.'s research concludes, with gradual and predictable new sediment layers piling one on top of another in a layer cake effect. But that pattern can be suddenly torn apart by an earthquake, a flood or some other environmental upheaval.
The evidence of such upheavals, Dr. Bell said, supports the E.P.A.'s position that while the PCB's may be buried now, their escape into the water will always be possible unless the chemicals are removed from the sediment. PCB's, polychlorinated biphenyls, which were widely used as insulating materials in electrical products until they were banned in the 1970's, have been linked to cancer in humans and to other problems in wildlife.
''It's clear that there are storms that go through and erode sediments,'' Dr. Bell said. ''Stuff moves.''
A G.E. spokesman, Mark L. Behan, said that the upper Hudson is in many ways a different river from the one being studied by Dr. Bell's group. The area proposed for dredging -- a chain of PCB hot spots extending from Troy to the company's old factories in Hudson Falls and Fort Edward -- is marked by an interconnected system of dams and locks and canals that collectively make the waters far more placid than they are to the south.
Recent studies by both the government and G.E. have suggested that floods are more likely to add new sediment to that part of the river than take it away, Mr. Behan said. The upper Hudson has largely been tamed.
Here to the south, especially on a blustery day, the Hudson still feels like a wild place, even though New York City is only a few miles away and the great span of the Tappan Zee Bridge dominates the horizon. Mergansers, graceful ducklike birds that fish these waters, float quietly by, unperturbed by the 39-degree temperature of the water. Fish of various sizes drift under the boat.
Other wonders of the river, like the salt wedge, are invisible. The salt wedge is the layer of ocean water that moves upriver with the tide. Because it is denser than fresh water, the wedge slides underneath the river's surface as it plows north, adding its own layer to the ''cake.'' But the salt layer also creates a band of turbulence that can distort a sonar image, so it too must be understood so scientists can read the map results.
This day's work mostly consists of measuring the depth and strength of the salt current. Jay Ardai, an engineer-technician who hangs over the stern in an orange survival suit, dips various instruments into the water while Dr. Bell records the results. At the wheel, the Fletcher's captain, John Lipscomb, keeps track of the boat on a global positioning screen so that he can maneuver it for the next test.
The core drilling samples, like the salt wedge studies, are another way to provide backup verification, or ''ground truth,'' as it is called, for the sonar images. But the cores also allow Dr. Bell to create a timeline of the river's history.
Scientists analyzing the samples at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y., have identified a band of radioactive cesium in the river mud. They say that the cesium marks the period of above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950's and 1960's, a snapshot of the earth's atmosphere taken by the river at that one moment in time and then sealed on the bottom.
Dr. Bell sees a giant historical tapestry in all this. She became enthralled with geology when she learned about plate tectonics as a teenager and never quite got over it, she said. Examining a core sample at the Lamont-Doherty campus, she gently traces a finger down through the geologic record: a shell deposited in the river around the time of Jesus, a band of gravel, a compressed and preserved twig.
Now, standing on deck of the Fletcher -- named for a conservationist who worked for many years with Riverkeeper, the boat's owner -- Dr. Bell marvels at the ancient echoes of these waters. Since the Palisades on the river's western bank in Rockland County rose up in a volcanic eruption 180 million years ago, she said, the Hudson has been a timeless constant in the region. There are even different kinds of rocks on each side of the river, she says.
Daniel Wolff, a writer from Nyack who has come out on several mapping trips as a volunteer, stood near the stern, watching birds with his binoculars.
''They get so absorbed in looking at their computer screens that they don't notice the nature around them,'' he said, nodding toward the scientists.Continue reading the main story

For the last three days I have had to go to reception and get my door card changed. It works ok for a few hours then just stops working. The reception staff have been very nice about it but always ask "have you had it near any electronic gadgets?" I always say "no" but the truth is my phone and i-Pad is never far away from the lanyard I keep the card in. But Min's card is always near her i-Pad so why wasn't her card constantly stopping?

Challenges in Asset Valuation Fuel Industry Debates
New York-A newly enhanced focus on reporting and processing financial information to ensure transparency that allows data users to get more accurate asset valuations is fueling debates on the best ways to achieve that goal.
In a letter to Russell G. Golden, technical director of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, a Washington-based nonprofit created to serve investors, public company auditors and capital markets, the Center for Audit Quality expressed its support for FASB efforts to improve illiquid asset valuations through a set of proposals.
FASB has proposed "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments" and "Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction is Not Distressed" or FSP FAS 115-a and FAS 157-e.
Both CAQ and FASB support industry efforts to respond to one of the most significant consequences of the current economic crisis: difficulties when estimating the fair value of illiquid assets, including mortgage-backed securities.
In the letter - sent to the secretary of the Treasury, the chairmen of the Federal Reserve and Securities and Exchange Commission, among others - CAQ stresses how critical it is that improvements to financial reporting "address the issues at hand by enhancing the relevance and transparency of financial information that is critical to properly functioning capital markets."
CAQ supports an "appropriately modified" FSP FAS 115-a noting that it will achieve the objectives of providing preparers appropriate relief from the impact of fair value measurements in the current market environment" without significantly damaging the transparency that investors and other users of financial statements seek.
By contrast, CAQ says, FSP 157-e, which proposes an exception to the definition of fair value, would reduce data transparency and can would have unintended consequences.
Furthermore, CAQ stresses the importance of independent, unbiased accounting standards. "An independent standard setter is fundamental to investor confidence" and key to high-quality financial reporting. If the current economic crisis increases the urgent need for accounting guidance, there also is a need for balance. It is just as critical that accounting standards are promulgated to promote financial transparency and address investor information needs.
Another benefit is that those who regulate and set capital standards for banks have the ability to obtain information outside of the financial statements and to make changes or adjustments to such standards "without having to make changes to the fundamental accounting determinations and resulting investor information."
CAQ also suggests more further clarification on when it is necessary to state that a market is not active and a transaction is distressed. Since "the proposed model of establishing a presumption that all transactions in inactive markets are distressed is flawed," CAQ said, as that concept "forces preparers to ignore relevant market transactions and moves away from the exit price objective, which is the cornerstone of measuring the fair value of an asset."
In addition, CAQ notes, the departure from an exit price in the current market that is proposed in FSP FAS 157-e is very broad and may have significant unintended consequences, including the potential increase in day-one gains, delay of losses recorded on debt securities which the holder intends to sell, and inflating net asset values used by investment companies for transactional purposes.
One revision should be that of limiting the scope to certain illiquid debt securities, which seem to be the focus of undertaking the project. In addition, unless appropriate guidance is applied the proposed FSP will be operationally difficult to implement and will reduce active markets and expand what are considered to be inactive markets. That may result in less objective measurements, CAQ says, as well as in entities not willing to sell financial assets because they may realize a loss, and wait for a higher "mark-to-model" value.
CAQ recognizes, however, that it supports the issuance of FSP FAS 115-a, if it is improved. Currently, problems include unclear information about application of guidance particularly for equity securities. Signed by CAQ executive director Cynthia M. Fornelli, the letter states, "We do not support the proposed requirement that, for held-to-maturity securities, the difference between the security's fair value and the security's amortized cost less the credit impairment recorded in earnings is recognized in other comprehensive income upon recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment and subsequently amortized through other comprehensive income."
In summary, CAQ said, a properly modified FSP FAS 115-a is the best option because it "is meritorious but warrants modification prior to finalization."

Chip Card Programming
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 8
Project Description
i am currently running a program for a client whom wants me to program a chip card to auto run on inserting on a chip platform , the chip would be programmed with an ISO which needs to be auto run chip card info is stated below
The Smart Card SILVER is a field programmable ISO-7816-1 pin-out compatible multi-chip Smart Card featuring the Microchip Technology, Inc. PIC16F876 + 24LC64 die. The card features an expanded data memory and is ideally suited for applications requiring field programming and reprogramming, short time to market and small to medium volume roll outs.
The card may differ from picture as 'Silver' is a generic description of the PIC microcontroller and memory chip, not a description of card colour. They are often white, and can have optional cutout around chip.
These cards are really the best on the market, they are the size of a credit card, wafer thin and have a PIC16F876 PIC chip and a 24LC64 EEPROM chip for data storage, which is 8KB. They have far more code storage capabilities than the normal gold wafer cards.
ISO 7816-1 Compatible Pin-out
ISO 7816-1 Compatible Card Body
Single 5V Operation
DC to 10 MHz Operating Speed
DC to 400 ns Instruction Cycle
Harvard Architecture
35 Word Single Word RISC Instructions
Re-programmable with Code Protection
On-Chip Program Memory
Internal EEPROM Memory
64K X 8 Expanded EEPROM Memory
Enhanced Code protection
40 Year Data Retention
1,000,000 Write/Erase Cycles
2KV ESD Protection
So basically the Chip card would be on autorun once inserted in the ship device it would automatically run the ISO which we have

The overall goal of this academic-industrial partnership between researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Philips Healthcare/Philips Research is to develop and optimize the novel amide proton transfer (APT) imaging technique for efficient and reliable detection of malignant brain tumors and assessment of treatment response. APT imaging can provide endogenous contrast related to mobile protein content in tissue. Preclinical studies and clinical data suggest that APT imaging may provide unique information about the presence and grade of brain tumors, as revealed by MRI-guided proteomics and in vivo MR spectroscopy. Notably, we recently demonstrated in animal models that the APT-MRI signal is a unique imaging biomarker to distinguish between radiation necrosis and active tumor tissue. Similar to other MRI techniques, the ultimate goal for APT imaging is the standardized use in a clinical setting. However, current APT imaging protocols are far from being optimized. A main reason is that the APT experimental parameters are often limited by scanner hardware constraints, particularly with respect to amplifier duty-cycle and specific absorption rate requirements. In addition to pulse sequence parameter differences, leading to inconsistent effect sizes, data processing strategies vary and may affect the reproducibility of results between hospitals. Therefore, there is an urgent need for industry and academia to work together to develop this emerging technology into a clinically viable, easy-to-use, and reproducible approach. To accomplish this, we (researchers at JHU and Philips) agreed to establish a cooperation to achieve an accelerated APT translation. Together, we formulated the following two specific aims: (1) Optimize and standardize APT imaging technology on 3T human MRI systems;and (2) Test the methodologies developed in Aim 1 on patients with brain tumors. APT imaging has the potential to introduce an entirely new molecular MRI methodology into the clinic that can detect endogenous cellular protein signals in biological tissue non-invasively. Thi research will provide the standard optimized approaches required to translate this new technology into the clinic.
The overall goal of this academic-industrial partnership is to optimize a novel MR molecular imaging technique, called amide proton transfer imaging, for efficient and reliable detection of malignant brain tumors on 3T human MRI scanners. If successful, we expect to provide an entirely new and optimized whole-brain imaging technology that can reliably identify the spatial extent of high grade tumors non-invasively, for both contras-enhancing and non-enhancing gliomas. This specific MRI modality is expected to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, directly impacting patient care.

I stayed at this hotel in January for a cheap night away and to relax after Christmas. The staff are friendly. Marco Pierre White's restaurant is great, I have been a few times and the food and staff are always great!
We booked a package that was an overnight stay, spa treatment each and 3 course meal in the restaurant, it was great value! The hotel is a little tired.
We both opted for a back massage for our spa treatments and instead of being the 25 minutes as advertised they were both around 15 minutes. Also, if you are really looking for a spa hotel/spa break I don't think this hotel is suitable. There aren't a lot of spaces to relax, you probably wouldn't want to spend the day by the pool.
Thank you for a nice stay and for great value. less

This review is for the New Year Gala dinner and night stop over 2016. Having been to this event on a previous year and enjoyed we decided to take several of our friends making up a table of 10. All have said how much they enjoyed and want to attend next year. The staff were all organised with typical military precision with no cold food all cleared and served on time but not rushed, no complaints at all from my table. Entertainment was excellent with something for everyone. Good mix of ages and all well dressed for the occasion. We stopped over and found our room well equipped. I did hear a few disgruntled comments over the wait for breakfast but when everyone turns up at the same time no wonder Marcos where breakfast was served under pressure. Personally I think they did well with quality of breakfast choice good. I have not documented the entertainment here as full details can be found but a mention of praise for the live band and the table magician.
Great night Yew Lodge see you I hope in 2017.

We have attended several events at the Yew Lodge over the past few years but have to say that the overall quality of what's on offer at the minute has slipped considerably. The Valentines dance was £30 so OK its not a huge amount of money but the quality of the food was at best average. A starter of pate which had been left out for some time as when cut into the slice it was a different colour!! melba toast was promised but 4 bits of cold and burnt toast was delivered.
The sorbet with chocolate covered strawberry was very good and the best part of the meal!
The mains....oh dear were dire. Vegetarian was a butternut and brie pastry. The brie was non existant, the pastry was pale and uncooked. With the Shoulder of lamb I was expecting a piece of meat but got shreaded and reformed into a burger like shape.....not great at alll.
The panna cotta dessert was tasteless and of a poor consistency...the chocholate desserrt was tastless although it did look good.
There was a band and a disco as well. The disco which is the resident disco were excellent. Got the dance floor full and kept it so...the band were good but not really suitable for a valentines dance. Let down by equipment during the first half of their set. Perhaps a rat pack singer during dinner would be a suitable alternative?
Drinks were hugely expensive...a fairly average Cab Sauv Blanc at £30 was a rip off, a wine and a beer at £14. I noticed several folk bringing in their own drinks from the rooms and with the drinks so expensive a trend that will probably continue! less

The room was clean but very 80s in decor. The bar area was nice and the function room was decorated very nice. The service of the food was excellent.
The food itself was very poor. The melba toast was in fact toast that was cooked hours ago. Which was chewy and not pleasant the pate was OK. The main course the spuds and vegetable were all good but the lamb well I have never seen anything like it. It was like a very very cheap piece of meat like thousands of small pieces stuck together very weird. The desserts were tasteless and left by many guests.
The band OMG they were so loud and the singer was crap. We were all glad when that racket finished and went home.
The disco was excellent really played good music.
Hope breakfast is OK and better quality.
The lounge area could do with some heating it is a very cold place to sit for a chat.
We have been to many hotel function and this one the food and band let it down ! less

How Not to Talk About Purity
By Sarah Galo
April 28, 2014
Sarah Galo is a recent graduate with a degree in Literature. Her writing has appeared in PolicyMic, Salon, and The Line Campaign's Where Is Your Line blog. She's also an open intern with the Guardian ... Read More
A chewed stick of gum. Tape that's lost its stickiness. A torn up piece of paper. Unwrapped gifts. Dirty chocolate.
All of these analogies have been used to describe girls who had sex before getting married. And all of them equate to the same message: Your worth is inextricably tied to your sexual purity.
The chewed stick of gum analogy is one kidnapping victim Elizabeth Smart remembered hearing.
"For me, I thought 'I'm that chewed-up piece of gum,'" she told a panel. "Nobody re-chews a piece of gum. You throw it away. And that's how easy it is to feel you no longer have worth. Your life no longer has value."
When I read Smart's remarks last spring, I wasn't surprised. I grew up in the Church, I was raised in what many now term "purity culture." I signed the "purity pledge," and for years, I wore a True Love Waits ring on my ring finger. I believed that I would not be valuable in the eyes of my future husband if I engaged in premarital sexual activity. I bought into the metaphors my peers and I were fed in our high school youth group, metaphors that were not too far off from the gum example, metaphors that equated sexual purity with worth.
And this isn't just an ultra-conservative Christian phenomenon. It's everywhere—in churches, schools, homes. In red and blue, Northern and Southern states.
I wanted to see if there were others like myself who had grown up hearing object lessons related to purity education. I created the Twitter hashtag #NotYourObjectLesson. I began with discussing the tape object lesson, and then asked others to share object lessons or metaphors used to objectify the bodies of girls and women.
Below is a small sample of the tweets using #NotYourObjectLesson, shared here with permission:
The examples are devastating and heartbreaking. Writers and activists on Twitter and the blogosphere have been active in pushing back against these harmful lessons. Dianna E. Anderson, author of the upcoming Damaged Goods due out in February 2015, has extensively written about the ways purity culture objectifies women. Twitter user @seelolago founded and manages No Shame Movement, a space to discuss the damaging rhetoric of purity culture.
In Romans 12:2, Paul writes, "Be no longer conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will." Of course, teaching about abstinence and the sanctity of sex is important, and viewing sex as a sacred gift from God is a way to be transformed. But if we, as the Church, sit back and let these damaging metaphors and lessons continue to be taught and encouraged in our congregations, youth groups, and schools, we are actually conforming to the "patterns of this world."
By using metaphors that objectify women and girls, we are following the example set by our larger society. While we may not be plastering up images of Victoria's Secret models, we are placing the bodies of girls, and with that, the value of their virginity, onto a pedestal. We are reducing women to objects, which may be used and disposed of when their "value" declines.
By a youth pastor telling a group of girls that their value is less because of sex, much like a "chewed up piece of gum," that individual is guilty of objectifying women, and following in the steps of this world. As others before me have noted, this model of objectification feeds into rape culture.
Please, let that sink in.
When we reduce women to disposable objects (or objects of any kind), we are diminishing their humanity. We are taking away their autonomy, their individual will by comparing them to inanimate objects without power. It's easier for a perpetrator to exert force over a victim if the victim's body has been objectified. When we, as members of the Church, use these reductive object lessons, we are participating and enabling a destructive culture against the bodies of girls and women.
"Purity culture" needs to be redeemed, and this begins with the Church. This begins by examining our language and prayerfully considering the ways we can constructively discuss sexuality and the body. If we are to truly conform to a godly and Jesus-like pattern, we need to humbly listen to voices of girls—like Elizabeth Smart and countless others—who have been hurt by these metaphors. We need to have difficult, but critical, conversations about sexuality. We need to answer questions with integrity, not simply giving a moralizing lesson. We need grace to mourn our past mistakes, to hold each other up and to move forward.

I did read this article ... Didn't like it... Believe it glosses over our sin and makes it "pastel" . This does in NO WAY address those who have been sexually violated!!! It is exactly because we are worth so much to God that he des not want us to demean and devalue ourselves with less than He intended. WE settle for less ... But for those who repent there is absolute forgiveness and cleansing. No word picture of God and how he views and interacts with His creation is without shortfall. But most do have a kernel of truth within . even Jesus' parables couldn't be followed through their human conclusion. God all too often is quite clear as to his expectations of his followers. It is when we "bend the rules" we veer into very unstable ground. The only cure for that is repentance not offense. Again none of this pertains to those sexually violated.
Have gone to a variety of conservative churches for over forty years and have never heard any such comments. If anything, the same message of purity was to both men and women, with fornication being sin for both genders. Side note - with sexual sin, there are related problems to warn of - such as a child to raise or put up for adoption, the push by the world to abort the baby, disease, etc.

one of our writers in A Bundle of THYME Magazine wrote about this very topic this month!
will share your link on our FB page...would love our readers to read your article too. www.thymemag.com
It's hard for me to imagine the amount of inhumanity it would take to call anyone of lesser worth for no longer being a virgin.
I disagree in part with this article. The transgression here appears to be one of focusing on actions instead of the heart. If one trains the heart of the a child, their lives will be rightly governed by it for the most part. If one trains only behavior, there is CONDITIONAL love implied, and the child will rebel when they are able, or be nothing of a person. The problem is not that the teaching is necessarily wrong, but that it misses the point, and is subsequently misinterpreted by the receiver. By NOT waiting until marriage, one DOES reduce one's worth and does become damaged, not intrinsically as a person, or in how we are loved by God, but in what one is able to offer and how healthfully one approaches marriage - and it is a lifelong brokenness. It can be moved past, but the scar(s) will always be there. Just like if one were a thief, it would cause marital strife. Those in authority in the church are simply trying to spare their children the heartache of that, as a loving parent would. But the approach misses the point. I think this article is based on naivete (due to lack of experience) and bitterness. Because of its foundation, I disagree.
So this is how not to talk about purity. What would be How TO Talk About Purity?
I agree that these are bad metaphors and women should be treated with respect. Having sex before marriage doesn't mean your life is ruined. But it will have consequences, like anything.
I think that it's important to know that rules are for our own and others' protection. It's not to keep us from having fun; it's actually to keep us healthy and to help our partners--being loyal is important. Even before marriage (God does not see time like we do).
And it's important to know that sex isn't a sin. It's a wonderful, beautiful thing to be shared exclusively with the one you love. At its best. There is of course divorce and abuse....in which you end up with a different partner. And should for your own safety sometimes. But though brokenness is part of the world, it's not God's plan for us and the closer we are to God's plan the happier we'll be.
