SACRAMENTO — Caltrans achieved a major milestone with the opening of 10 miles of new bus and carpool lanes on Interstate 80 in North Sacramento.
In this Caltrans News Flash, Caltrans describes how the new lanes help ease traffic congestion, reduce air pollution and shorten the travel time for an estimated 145,000 daily drivers.
The new bus/carpool lanes run approximately 10 miles in both directions completing a continuous carpool lane that now stretches about 22.5 miles on I-80 between Sacramento and Roseville.
The project also built new auxiliary lanes, drainage systems and median barriers. Additional enhancements include larger signs, sound walls and lighting.
The $136 million project received $53.5 million from Proposition 1B, the 2006 voter-approved transportation bond that allocated more than $19 billion in funds for transportation purposes statewide.

CONCORD (CBS SF) — A 39-year-old man was arrested early Thursday morning on suspicion of stealing Christmas presents from in front of a Concord home earlier this week, police said.
Daniel Price, a Concord resident, was arrested after the report of the theft Monday of a package that contained the intended Christmas gifts outside the home, police said.
The victim had video surveillance footage of the theft that was handed over to investigators, who two days later identified Price as the alleged thief, police said.
Early Thursday morning, Pittsburg police arrested Price for allegedly siphoning gasoline, and Concord police soon served him with the arrest warrant for the package theft.
Later in the morning, detectives served a search warrant at Price's home in the 2600 block of Crystal Avenue, where the stolen property was found as well as other evidence linking Price to the crime, according to police.
Detectives are working to get the stolen property returned to the victims prior to Christmas on Tuesday, police said.
Price was booked into jail on suspicion of petty theft and possession of stolen property.

Although it is difficult to decipher the North's latest contradictory foreign policy, analysts believe the move may be part of an internal power game between hawks and doves in the North Korean regime under new leader Kim Jong-un.
North Korea's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland, a key party organ in charge of South Korean affairs, also stepped up its campaign against presidential hopefuls in Seoul in what appeared to be a move to influence the December presidential election.
Early this week, the North's committee threatened to reveal detailed remarks by three South Korean presidential hopefuls, including a leading contender, Park Geun-hye, when they each visited Pyongyang.
Baek Seung-joo, a senior analyst at the state-run Korea Institute for Defense Analyses in Seoul, said the motive behind the North Korean committee to attack South Korean presidential hopefuls may be "aimed at protecting pro-North Korean forces in South Korea and influencing the presidential election."
Relations between the two Koreas worsened seriously after President Lee Myung-bak, whose term ends next February, took office in early 2008, as North Korea protested strongly against his policy of linking aid to progress in international efforts to end Pyongyang's nuclear weapons programs.
In the North Korean committee's perspective, Baek said the latest ploy is aimed at "showing off its presence in an internal power game in North Korea."
The North's new leader, Kim Jong-un, took over the communist nation after his father and longtime ruler, Kim Jong-il, died last December. Since then, Pyongyang has sent mixed signals to the world.
Weeks before the failed rocket launch, North Korea and the U.S. announced an agreement in which Washington would resume food aid to the impoverished nation in return for the suspension of missile and nuclear tests.
In the newest verbal threat on June 4, North Korea's military vowed to wage a "sacred war" against major South Korean media organizations for insulting its top leader, underlining the seriousness of its intentions by revealing the map coordinates of their respective headquarters in Seoul.
"There is a fierce competition to grab a leading role in South Korea policy between the North Korean military and the Unification Front Line Department (which has the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland under its wing)," Baek said.
North Korea's military leaders have stuck to its policy of provocations against South Korea to keep their "vested rights" and check the power of Jang Song-thaek, the uncle of Kim Jong-un, who is believed to be in his late 20s, Baek said.
In a seeming departure from the aggressive policy toward South Korea, the North's foreign ministry said last week it has no plan to carry out a nuclear test "at present."
The North's ministry, however, accused South Korea of trying to "rattle the nerves of the DPRK (North Korea) in a bid to cause it to conduct a nuclear test."
Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies, said, "The North Korean foreign ministry's statement was aimed at the U.S."
"The announcement that North Korea has no plan to conduct a nuclear test can be interpreted as pressing the U.S. to hold talks," Yang said.
A North Korean expert, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, considered the North's contradictory foreign policy to be evidence that Kim Jong-un is not fully in power yet.
"Until Kim Jong-un secures a solid power base in both the ruling party and the military, North Korea's foreign policy is unlikely to make its direction clear," the expert said.

From vision to action
Fifteen years ago, the Detroit riverfront wasn't a destination for anyone. For much of the city's history, the riverfront had been occupied by industry, a trio of cement silos among its key landmarks. Now, it's easy to look at Detroit's riverfront and see a transformation. Projects such as Rivard Plaza, Chene Park and the Dequindre Cut point to a riverfront bustling with life. Getting to that point took private investment, public investment and a plan.

When I was on GAPS, I drank a lot of bone broth full of natural gelatin and soothing goodness. And now that I don't drink it quite as often, I try to incorporate as much grass-fed gelatin into my family's diet as possible. I was really glad to find that there is a powdered grass-fed gelatin from a brand I trust here. It is a gelatin that is very easy to absorb, so all the nutrients are truly usable by your body.
And the best way to take this gelatin? In a fruit snack of course! I have seen a few recipes I really like, like these coconut pineapple gummies. But ever since summer hit I have been dying to try and make lemonade gummies with grass-fed gelatin. So yummy, and so healthy! I have been making my honey-sweetened lemonade pretty regularly again, and so I tried it, and the result was glorious. [Read more…]

Cheryl Cole delaying motherhood for sake of Girls Aloud
Brit singer Cheryl Cole, 24, recently admitted she would love to start a family with her husband Ashley Cole, 26, star footballer for Chelsea, but she's worried having a child might cause problems for bandmates in her girl group, Girls Aloud.
Girls Aloud achieved a great deal of success of in the UK and Europe due, in part, to their heavy touring schedule. Cheryl doesn't want her family life to interrupt the group's success, even though she and her husband of one year are desperate to have a child together.
I do really want a baby and so does Ashley, but it's not just my life I have to think about — there are four other people who would be affected if I got pregnant. The band has got a bit of a break next year, once our tour is out of the way, so maybe then.
Cheryl insisted her pregnancy will be planned with "military precision" so that the birth can fit in between her work with Girls Aloud, and Ashley's game schedule.
There's so many things to consider, it's crazy. Like, if Ashley has a match on the day the baby is born, he still has to play, so he could miss the birth. We'll have to plan it with military precision.
Despite the lack of a child, Cheryl claimed married life is fantastic.
We are really, really happy. We spend every minute that we can together. He's not into showbiz parties or flashy restaurants, he just likes staying at home with me.
At times I think I'd like to go to The Ivy or somewhere really trendy. But Ashley's not bothered about the whole celebrity thing. He's just an amazing, genuine man.
When motherhood finally happens for Cheryl, she'll have a great support system; the singer counts mother of three Victoria Beckham as one of her close friends.

Nearly 15 years after initially signing the international treaty in 2001, Canada will ratify the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.
Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Nicholson was authorized by Order-in-Council last week to bring the convention into force and the Department of Foreign Affairs is currently finishing the paperwork to submit to the Canadian mission in Brussels, which will deposit it with the Council of Europe secretariat in Strasbourg.
"Ratification of the Convention will strengthen Canada's ability to cooperate fully with our key international partners in the fight against cybercrime, including by enhancing Canadian law enforcement's ability to request assistance, as well as its ability to respond to foreign requests," said Diana Khaddaj, spokeswoman with the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The treaty is a Council of Europe initiative and has been brought into force by 39 member states, according to the convention's website.
Six non-member states, including the United States and Australia, have ratified the treaty and brought it into force.
At its core, the treaty aims to harmonize international laws regarding cybercrime such as those regarding hacking, child pornography and copyright violations.
It also requires those states implementing the convention to grant law enforcement agencies in each country the power to compel Internet service providers to monitor citizens' online activities and to criminalize the sharing of racist and xenophobic material online.
The Department of Foreign Affairs says the reason Canada did not ratify the convention sooner is that the government needed time to bring in domestic legislation to comply with the convention — particularly C-13 (the Protecting Canadians from Online Crime Act), which came into effect in March.
A 2002 consultation process launched by the Department of Justice found a number of serious concerns flagged by privacy commissioners across Canada about whether the convention should be implemented.
In it, the commissioners said the Council of Europe had not yet offered a persuasive rationale to justify infringing on civilians' freedoms and privacy.
As well, the report stressed that the government had not paid attention to Article 15 of the Convention on Cybercrime, which calls for governments to respect domestic civil liberties and ensure there are adequate safeguards in place to protect freedoms.
In particular, it states that governments implementing the convention must ensure there is judicial or other independent supervision, grounds justifying application, and limitation of the scope and the duration of such power or procedure "as appropriate."
NDP deputy public safety critic Rosane Dore Lefebvre says the party is glad to hear the convention is finally being ratified but that they do have concerns over the absence of several potential key partners from the treaty.
"China and Russia have not signed the convention yet and that's two countries where we see a lot of cybercrime," she said. "I hope the government will put a little bit of pressure on these countries to make sure they sign it."
Dore Lefebvre also said they hope the ratification of the treaty will mean the government will commit to promises it has made to step up cybersecurity at government agencies and to protect Canadians from the growing threat of cybercrime.
"It's a good start but the government is lacking leadership on cybersecurity in general and having a really good plan in place."

As a payments industry leader, Mastercard is making transactions faster, easier, more convenient and more secure. It is our challenge at 50,000feet to assist in developing strategic tools that market their products and services and strengthen the Mastercard brand. Through a mix of print, interactive and video, we are positioning Mastercard payments solutions that make life easier for consumers, merchants, business partners and governments in markets around the world.
Masterpass Launch Video
To support the product's introduction, Mastercard asked 50,000feet to create a video that tells the story of how Masterpass enriches daily experiences. The video raises Masterpass awareness among B2B and consumer audiences, highlights the seamless transactions Masterpass enables—click, touch or tap—and the layers of protection against fraud and misuse.
World Elite Benefits Playbook
Aimed at the top tier of affluent banking customers, World Elite offers cardholders the ultimate in service, travel and lifestyle benefits. We chose an interactive approach for sell-in, creating a B2B tablet and browser-based web application to market World Elite to issuers—all against a backdrop of some of the world's most breathtaking destinations.
Mobile Contactless Payments Demo
As the market for mobile payments grew, Mastercard sales teams needed to demonstrate the company's capabilities to customers in both developed and developing markets. By designing an interactive tablet framework, we provided an easy-to-use app for locations without traditional LAN-based internet access.
Mobile Contactless Payments Demo
Teams now have the ability to demonstrate the functionality of Mastercard's full range of payment solutions; and because the framework we developed is extensible, digital communications can keep pace with the market.
LAC Consumer Communications Guideline
Created for Mastercard's Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) product and marketing teams, this guide offers a single, unified B2C communications platform for all product tiers in the region. To ensure the development of well-targeted and consistent communications, it also acts as a high-level primer on product positioning and message development.
Retail Banking Insights
Consumers' experiences of interacting with their banks' retail services is undergoing an increasingly rapid transformation—with many rarely (if ever) visiting a brick-and-mortar branch. Developed by 50,000feet, this guide educates issuers and makes the case for why Mastercard is the best partner for navigating this convergence of banking and technology.
Mastercard Send for Disbursements
Whether an insurance company sending payments to a claimant or an online marketplace routing proceeds from a sale to a seller, businesses can use Mastercard Send to get funds to customers within seconds on their existing debit card—no enrollment necessary. As part of the US launch of this product, we developed both digital advertising and consumer-facing messaging issuers.
Mastercard Iconography
At work in more than 210 countries and territories worldwide, Mastercard must often find creative ways to overcome language barriers. To this end, the company has relied on 50,000feet to develop extensive iconography systems both for its internal and external communications.

In the 13th century, a young Venetian named Marco Polo set out with his father and uncle on a great adventure. Following a series of trade routes, they traveled across the vast continent of Asia and became the first Europeans to visit the Chinese capital (modern Beijing). Marco so impressed the reigning emperor of China, Kublai Khan, that he was appointed to the imperial court. For the next 17 years, Marco was sent on missions to many parts of Kublai's sprawling empire. The Polos finally returned to Venice via the sea route. Marco later wrote a book about his experiences, which inspired new generations of explorers to travel to the exotic lands of the East.
In this curriculum unit, students will become Marco Polo adventurers, following his route to and from China in order to learn about the geography, local products, culture, and fascinating sites of those regions. Students will record their "journey" by creating journal entries, postcards, posters, and maps related to the sites they explore. The EDSITEment Marco Polo Journey Map, with its guiding questions, may be used either as a culminating exercise or a method of reviewing previous lessons and introducing new ones.
Read through the entire lesson plan and become familiar with the content and resources. Bookmark relevant websites for later reference. Download and duplicate the map of China available through EDSITEment-reviewed resource Xpeditions for Activity 5 and the Map of the Indian Ocean Area available through EDSITEment-reviewed resource SARAI for Activity 6. It would be very helpful to have a large map of the world in your classroom as well as a set of atlases.
As you progress through the lessons, you may want to speak to your students about the changing status of maps, and the various ways maps can be used to represent a geographic and political area. Since students may find themselves confused by the large number and types of maps in these lessons, you may want to pick one or two to serve as reference points against which other maps are compared (your classroom atlas or a large map of the world might be a good choice). A good online map to use as an overall guide is the Map of Marco Polo's Route available through EDSITEment reviewed resource Asia Source.
Review the EDSITEment Marco Polo Interactive Map. You may use the map either as a culminating exercise or as a way of reviewing material from the previous day's lesson before introducing new material.

Winter Temperatures and Field Crop Insects – (John Obermeyer, Rich Edwards, and Larry Bledsoe)
Even the most casual weather observer can't ignore the fact that the weather this fall and winter has been cold and snowy. Will this equate to fewer insects and reduced crop damage this coming season? As you probably already guessed…it depends! Insect predictions are as reliable as Big 10 basketball rankings. Although we can't tell you for sure what will happen with these critters coming out of this winter, we can give you some information on insect/environment/crop interactions that might clear the picture some.
Overwintering insects utilize various biotic and abiotic mechanisms to keep them from dying during the long winter months. Survival tactics include, but are not limited to, lowering metabolic rates, chemical changes in bodily fluids, and finding "cozy" microenvironments. Predictive models for some overwintering insects exist but it is impossible to measure all environmental variables that individual insects are subjected to in their wintering location. The graph on the following page compares ambient air and four-inch depth soil temperatures with snowfall recorded at the Agronomy Research Center in West Lafayette for nine winters. This represents how soil temperatures, though warmer, follow air temperature trends. However, as snowfall amounts decrease, the temperature differential is less between the air and soil (e.g., 2002, 1998). It comes as no surprise that snow cover provides an insulating blanket for wintering insects at or below ground level. Though the differences may seem minor to us, to a small, cold-blooded insect, it may make the difference between life and death.

Keystone LA (acetochlor + atrazine) from DowAgroSciences is a product similar to Keystone with a lower atrazine load. This product is designed for use on sandy soils in N. Indiana and in the northern cornbelt states (MI, WI, MN). Label expected in 2003.
There are now at least four products available that contain acetochlor + atrazine from basic chemical manufacturers. There is at least one product (Confidence, from Agriliance) available from a distributor. The following table shows the amount of acetochlor and atrazine present in each commercially available product available from basic chemical manufacturers.
Cinch, Cinch ATZ and Cinch ATZ Lite are products Dupont has obtained from Syngenta and will be marketing under their trademark. Cinch is Dual II Magnum, Cinch ATZ is Bicep II Magnum, and Cinch ATZ Lite is Bicep II Magnum Lite
Yukon (halosulfuron + dicamba) from Monsanto is a postemergence herbicide for use on corn up to 36 inches tall. Use rates are 4 to 8 oz/A with 4 oz/A providing 2/3 oz/A of Permit and 4 oz/A of Banvel. Adjuvants required include either NIS or COC. Label granted in 2002.
Lumax (s-metolachlor 2.68 lb/gal + atrazine 1 lb/gal + mesotrione (0.27 lb/gal) from Syngenta is a product that can be used PPI, PRE, or POST on field, seed, or silage corn up to 5 inches tall. Use rates are 2.5 qt/A on soils with less than 3% organic matter and 3 qt/A on soils with greater than 3% organic matter. The 3 qt/A rate provides 2 pt/A of Dual II Magnum, 0.75 lb/A of atrazine and 6.4 oz/A of Callisto – 3 different modes of action. If the product is applied POST the use of NIS is recommended, but do not use COC, MSO or nitrogen solutions because of risk of crop injury. Warrior is the only insecticide mentioned as a tankmix partner on the label. Labeled in 2002.
Camix (s-metolachlor 2.68 lb/gal + mesotrione (0.27 lb/gal) from Syngenta is a product that can be used PPI, PRE, or POST on field or seed corn up to 5 inches tall. Use rates are 2.4 qt/A which provides 1.75 pt/A of Dual II Magnum and 6.3 oz/A of Callisto. This product will be available in limited quantities in MI, MN, PA, and WI. If the product is applied POST the use of NIS is recommended, but do not use COC, MSO or nitrogen solutions because of risk of crop injury. Do not use after Counter or Lorsban insecticide.
New Herbicides for Soybean
Phoenix (lactofen) from Valent is a new formulation of Cobra with an adjuvant system designed for less crop response. Labeled in 2002.
Valor (flumioxazin) 51% WDG was labeled in 2002 for fall, EPP, and PRE applications in soybean. This product is a PPO inhibitor, similar to Authority/Spartan with good activity on small seeded broadleaf weeds such as pigweeds/waterhemp, lambsquarter, and annual nightshade species. Use rates are 2 to 3 oz/A. The label does not allow this product to be tankmixed with chloroacetamide herbicides (Lasso, Dual II Mag, Frontier, Define, Boundary) because the risk of crop response is enhanced.
Labeled in 2003.
Gangster is a co-pack of Valor (flumioxazin) + FirstRate (cloransulam) co-marketed by Valent and DowAgroSciences. The addition of FirstRate adds activity on ragweeds, marestail, morningglories, velvetleaf and cocklebur to the activity of Valor. Registration expected 2nd quarter of 2003.
Glyphosate formulations. There are now over 30 formulations of glyphosate labeled for use in Roundup Ready crops in Indiana. Monsanto will introduce a product called Roundup Original II, which is a 3 lb ae/gal isopropylamine salt that does not contain the Transorb adjuvant package. Label allows the use of additional adjuvants. Monsanto will also be phasing out Roundup Ultramax and replacing it with Roundup Weathermax as their primary glyphosate product for Roundup Ready Soybeans. Roundup Weathermax is a potassium salt of glyphosate with 4.5 lb of acid equivalent (ae)/gal. Use rates of Roundup Weathermax will be 22 oz/A.
In Table 2, we have listed four of the major glyphosate brands available for use in Roundup Ready crops and their equivalent rates to obtain 0.38 or 0.75 lb ae/A. Most of the generic glyphosates are formulated as the isopropylamine salt with 3 lb of ae/gallon, similar to the Glyphomax products shown on the first line. It is important to keep in mind that each product may have unique adjuvant requirements. Here are examples of statements from labels of a few Monsanto glyphosate products:
A great deal of time and effort is devoted to marketing the various glyphosate products. Many claims are made in reference to one product being superior to others. When used according to label directions we have observed very few differences in the activity of the various formulations on target weed species. Shown in Table 3 is the result of this years experiment at the Purdue University Agronomy Farm. Essentially no differences were observed between the six products evaluated in this trial.
New Herbicide for Alfalfa
Raptor (imazamox) 1S has received federal approval for use on established alfalfa (2 trifolioates or more) in the fall, winter, or spring to dormant or semi dormant alfalfa or between cuttings (less than 3 inches of regrowth) in non-dormant alfalfa and in-season use on other edible legumes. The formulation of imazamox labeled for alfalfa will be called Raptor. Raptor controls a similar spectrum of weeds compared to Pursuit, with better activity on grasses and lambsquarter, but less soil residual activity. Pursuit will provide better soil residual activity. Use rates are 4 to 6 oz/A with COC (1% v/v) or NIS (0.25% v/v) + AMS (12-15 lbs/100 gallons).
New Herbicide for Wheat
Beyond (also imazamox) 1S will be labeled for use on Clearfield (imidazolinone resistant) wheat. Beyond can be applied at 4 to 6 oz/A in the fall or spring from the 3rd leaf stage of wheat up until before jointing. NIS and AMS or UAN are the required spray additives. Beyond will control ryegrass, bromegrass and many winter annual weeds. Seed supply will be limited in 2003.
New Herbicide for Grass Pastures
Dupont will introduce a product called Cimmaron 60 DF (metsulfuron) for broadleaf weed control in grass pastures. It is essentially the same product as Ally with no haying or grazing restrictions.
New Herbicide-Resistant Weeds
Glyphosate-resistant marestail (horseweed) has been identified at two sites in Jackson county in southern Indiana. Glyphosate resistant marestail has also been identified in Ohio and Kentucky. A number of additional sites in Indiana have also reported difficulty in controlling this weed with glyphosate this past year. We will be doing some more work in the greenhouse to determine how well other herbicides control these suspect populations.

ISPM 15 is an International Standard Phytosanitary Measure developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), that addresses the need to treat wood materials, such as pallets, which are used to ship products between countries. ISPM 15 requires that pallets be either chemically fumigated or heat treated to prevent the spread of wood and plant pests.
The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Interim Commission on Phytosanitary Measures adopted ISPM15 in March 2002, meaning that countries can now decide to implement these internationally recognized import regulations.
Two treatment measures are approved under ISPM 15. These are Heat treatment (HT) to a minimum core temperature of 56oC for a minimum of 30 minutes, and Fumigation, using Methyl Bromide (MB) to the prescribed dosage and temperature.
An international mark has been agreed and trademarked and is authorized for use (see illustration).
To attest to compliance to the standard, the pallet must be clearly marked on 2 faces showing the official IPPC logo, a 2 letter country code (xx), a unique number (000) assigned by the National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO), HT for Heat Treatment or MB for Methyl Bromide, and DB to signify debarked. It is unclear when the use of the IPPC logo will be mandatory and when some countries will stipulate its use.
CHEP Europe has established a strategic network of suppliers to meet the demands for IPPC compliant 'Phytosanitary' pallets. All 48"x40" block pallets manufactured in the EU for export to the USA are Heat Treated (HT) as standard and stenciled with the NPPO approved mark. Other wooden pallet specifications can also be made available HT treated. CHEP has decided that the preferred option is HT whenever possible. However, there will be situations where fumigation with MB will be the acceptable solution. In such exceptional circumstances, approved suppliers will carry out fumigation.

Aksu Jabagly and the Hidden Valley – Aksu Jabagly National Park, Kazakhstan
Aksu Jabagly and the Hidden Valley.
Aksu Jabagly National Park, Kazakhstan
Horses scare me! I mean I like them and everything, but I've always been a bit nervous about actually being on top of one, particularly the shaggy looking one that was staring at me now!
This particular horse was one of four animals that had been specifically selected to carry my three friends and I up a snowy pathway to a Ranger's cabin high up a foreboding looking mountain of the Central Asian Tien Shan range. Located on the southern most border of Kazakhstan, the Aksu Jabagly National Park is the home and birthplace of the tulip and one of the few surviving habitats of the elusive snow leopard.
Our guide was Volodya, a gaunt Russian scientist with hawk-like features that were as chiseled as the mountain rock that now faced us. He had set up his home and family in Aksu Jabagly, and was now one of only two or three Russian families that still lived in the area, the rest after Kazakh independence in 1991 having moved back to Russia. I had first met Volodya in Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan and he looked completely ill at ease and out of place. Here, dressed in a mixture of fur, leather and khaki outdoor wear and mounted on a huge looking horse, he looked as if he had been born in the mountains.
|Ranger's Cabin
The Ranger, Murat, with his weather beaten face, proceeded to give us all some tuition on how to ride a Kazakh horse.
"If you want the horse to go faster," he told us, " you should say 'Noh, Noh, Noh!'"
Dutifully we all repeated to him the words out loud to prove we had understood. Unimpressed, he just stared at us. Then made us repeat the words again as if we were at Sunday School.
Without smiling or changing his expression, he continued. "If you want the horse to go slower, then you make this noise." He rolled his tongue and blew through his lips to make an unlikely resonating sound "Brrreeerrrr"
After a couple of practices it seemed obvious that we probably weren't going to get it at all. Murat turned to Volodya to say something along the lines of "Good Luck!" then gave us a wry smile of a man who was probably never going to see us again and suddenly we were on our way!
The journey up the mountain path was a good two-hour trip through some stunning mountain scenery, slightly reminiscent of something you might find in Switzerland. We were only going to spend the one night in the cabin, and as our horses slowly followed one another in a slow procession up the first steepish incline, I was already beginning to get excited at the prospect. Ever since I was a child, I've always been slightly obsessed by wilderness, in fact the wilder the better. I don't know quite where this came from as I grew up in South London, which can be wild, but in a slightly different way. I was following Steve in line, with Ken and Neil somewhere behind me. Ever so often I would glance behind me to see how they were getting on, just in time to see Neil's horse veer off in a random direction or Ken showing off by riding one handed with his free arm waiving in the air giving the impression that he had absolutely no control over his mount. Later that night he confirmed that he hadn't and was so scared that he actually couldn't remember what the command for slowing down was. I could also hear Neil's voice constantly calling out the correct command "Noh, Noh, Noh!" to make his horse go faster, which seemed to then turn into a more panicky "No, No, No!" when his horse actually did.
By contrast Steve seemed in perfect control and slinked back in his saddle lazily, green woolen hat at a jaunty angle, just watching the snow-lined countryside roll by. Occasionally, he would call back some advice to me as my horse, obviously hungry beyond control, would trot off to some scrawny green plant struggling for life by the side of the road, stop quite still, then drop his head to eat. When this first happened I pulled hard at the reins to try and lift his head so we could move on, but it soon became quite apparent that this wasn't going to work, so I developed a pose of relaxed nonchalance, creating the illusion that feeding my horse en route to our destination was all part of my plan and I was the better person for it. I really don't think it fooled anyone, least of all the horse.
|Man and Horse as One
In my dream-like state, apparently while at some private party in my head, I suddenly became aware that my horse was actually going faster. Even more disturbing was the fact that he was now trotting in a completely different direction and had left the track having spied some green shrubbery in the distance. Desperately, I tried to rack my brain for the command to slow down.
"Brrrrrrrr" I called out loudly whilst trying to pull back on the rein to no avail. Again I tried, but again without luck. On reflection, the horse probably wasn't going that fast, but novice that I was, bouncing around on top it felt as if I was in a steeplechase. I tried the command a third time and again there was no response. I cursed the fact that as an Englishman I couldn't roll my "R's", and that a mixture of the cold and possibly fear, had frozen my lips even more. Its no wonder the horse didn't understand me!
Suddenly, he stopped at and isolated piece of ground loosely covered in snow. Then, almost in slow motion, he kneeled down on his front two legs. His hind legs folded soon after as he proceeded to roll on to his side. Somehow I had managed to stay mounted, before being lightly tumbled off his back and dumped ungainly in a soft pile of cold wet snow. I lay there on my back, completely unhurt, but laughing hysterically with a mixture of relief and embarrassment as my equine friend rolled around as if he had some unattainable scratch around his neck. Ironically, I had been previously getting my boot stuck in the stirrup. This time, for some reason I had been flung gently free from his rolling body. To this day I'm still convinced he did it on purpose. Steve and Volodya were the first to arrive. Their worried faces showing relief as they realised I was actually laughing and not at all in pain.
Volodya scratched his head as he looked down on me. " Well, I've never ever seen a horse do that before?" he exclaimed.
Steve smiled as he grabbed my horse's reins and pulled him effortlessly to a standing position. "You know that you have to get straight back on, don't you?" he informed me.
Ken showed up soon after arm waiving wildly as he rode straight past me and in the distance I could still hear Neil calling "Noh, Noh, Noh!"
Slightly nervous, but determined to remount, I climbed back on and took the reins back from Steve's hand. Back on the road I made a mental note, not to drift off into my own thoughts again, but given the beauty of the nature around us, that was always going to be difficult. However, some of the snow from my fall had slipped down the back of my neck, helping me to keep focused, at least for the time being.
The terrain started to become steeper and more uneven as we closed in on our destination. Surrounded by mountains on either side, I gradually became aware of the sound of water nearby. The track turned a corner as a small picturesque stream cut across our path. In my innocence I couldn't see a way across as the banks seemed quite steep, but then to my horror, I saw Volodya lead his horse straight down the side and into the water. The stream wasn't that deep as he stopped halfway across to urge us through and to let his mount have a drink. I could sense my horse getting nervous, nodding his head disapprovingly as Steve followed Volodya into the water. Apparently my mount didn't want any part of this and veered to the left, missing the step down. As I struggled to keep control, my horse turned three times in a circle. Ken careered passed me in a successful, but ungainly way as his horse led him down into the stream with a splash, with Ken on top looking confident, yet pale. Neil also caught up with us and took an alternate route down with Neil still calling out various commands. Suddenly, I was the only one left on the top as my four companions let their horses drink from the stream.
"Come on Tim!" Ken shouted unsympathetically.
"Lean back as you come down!" Steve helpfully offered. I noticed that Neil had taken his camera out. After missing my first fall, he was determined to capture this one for posterity!
"Noh, Noh, Noh!" I commanded with what I hoped was the authority of a Kazakh nomad as we edged towards the bank. Looking down, perched high up, it looked unlikely I was going to stay dry. Slowly we descended the bank and almost slipped into the water in what I thought was a most inelegant manner. As we climbed down I remember Steve's advice to sit back in my saddle. Utter fear in my chest, but determined to look as cool as I possibly could, we splashed our way across to the others. I could sense some disappointment in Neil's demeanor as he showed me the picture he had taken on his digital camera. With a look of grim determination on my face, for some reason I looked completely in control…and they say the camera never lies!!! Such was my confidence now, that I led the way up the other bank and onto the path ahead, my heart still racing, but leaving enough time to turn around and call out.
"Come on guys, what are you waiting for?"
Eventually, we arrived at our temporary destination of the Ranger's cabin, beautifully located at the top of a valley. We tied our horses up outside and dismounted. After over two hours in the saddle, suddenly finding ourselves on our own two feet felt a little weird at first and to be quite honest, walking wasn't the most comfortable thing either, yet we managed to limp our way, with true John Wayne walks, around to the front of the cabin that was to be our home for the next night.
As we wandered around we were suddenly stopped in our tracks, all four of us struck dumb by the view that was laid out in front of us. The valley dropped down to a fast moving stream, before rising sharply presenting a mountain view like I have never seen before. Intermittently, wild sheep, perched on rocks grazed on the sparse foliage, which tried desperately to survive the cold mountain air. Facing us the snow-covered mountains dominated the panorama continuing as far as the eye could see, leading eventually into Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Utterly speechless, I felt small and insignificant surrounded by the immensity and beauty of the environment around me. Volodya now followed from behind the cabin. He had seen this view many times, but still it excited him. "Who needs the city?" he smiled, "When you have all this."
Spring was approaching fast and new life would soon fill this hidden valley and the snow would recede until only the mountain peaks were covered. Beneath our feet, already breaking through the melting snow, tulip bulbs had begun to appear. In all likelihood, we weren't going to see the shy snow leopard, but had seen a side to Central Asia rarely visited and had even survived my first horse ride in one piece. As I breathed in the cool fresh mountain air and gazed around me, I thought to myself. "All in all, this was turning out to be a pretty good day!"

Replace your existing 3/8" tuning keys with Hipshot's GB7 Xtender
GB7's Xtenders are a modern style detuner available in Chrome, Black, and Gold finishes, and Treble and Bass Side orientation.
These are sealed tuning keys, that are die-cast enclosed for permanent lubrication, durability, and long-life. These are intended for bass guitars with a 9/16" headstock bore hole.
20:1 Gear-Ratio.
The GB7 - Fits many Ibanez, Yamaha, Epiphone, Peavey, Modulus, Schecter, and Warwick bass guitars.
Package Includes:
- 1 GB7 Detuner
- Installation instructions, Matching Finish Mounting Screw, Hex Nut, & Washer.
I've been keen to install a D-tuner (or Xtender) on this bass since I bought it. It's a budget build so I couldn't justify it until one of the tuners (cheap GB7 knockoffs) started mucking up. I could have fixed it with a new washer, but I put a D-tuner instead. Installing it was as easy as installing the stock tuner. So it took literally 10 min to install. I wish I'd done it sooner because it fits so well and is such a useful piece of kit. The only negative thing I notice was the sort of 'grinding' feel on the two contact surface as you switch the lever up or down. I've not noticed this before on the D-tuner I had on another bass. I've regreased the cam on the lever and the contact patch it hit, but the action still feels rough. I'm hoping it will improve once I've worn it in a little. Otherwise, I'd fit them to every 4 string I own. I also want to give BBG props for EXCELLENT prices and free shipping to Australia. Thanks a lot guys.
Hipshot Bass Xtender GB7
By Pete Wood from on 10/13/2016
I absolutely love my Hipshot BASS extender; my first was on a used bass I had bought at a local guitar shop. Thought "Hmmm, now there is something that will just fail and need replacing". Little did I know I would instantly fall in love with it and then install 3 more on a few of my other most favored basses. I know we all say "drop tuning takes no time. Strike an open D and tune to it. Whola, done". Well, yes but in actuality no... It takes more time, if rushed or too noisy in the pub your playing you may not even get in tune! Time yourself drop tuning by hand/ear, takes more effort then we think. Well, all you do is flip the lever on this lil hunny and there you are. Good to go and in tune in the time it takes you to get your hand to the tuning key. WELL worth the money and favor the basses that have the bass extender over the ones that dont.

Added this my German Warick Corvette. I'd used drop tuners before, but never owned one. Installation was a breeze, the instructions were very clear. Fits perfectly. Couldn't be happier.
No complaints here.
By Grey Morden from on 1/8/2014
Works and fits perfectly on my Gibson Les Paul bass. About £18.00 of import duty to pay at Post Office on shipping to uk.
By Ian byles from on 1/8/2014
Yes, indeed, it works as expected. Fits perfectly in my Ibanez SRX-360, and D-tunes, after a little brico, down to D right in the point it has to.
GB7 rules!!!
By Fernandez Alvaro from on 1/8/2014
Thinkig about a black one for my Epiphone EBM custom 4.
Don't know why I didn't buy one earlier! Great addition to my bass. I was a little surprised that the end of the adjustment screw only sits on the head of the lever fulcrum screw, would have expected a flat plate or something (hence 4 stars) but other than that, very happy.

Mark Zuckerberg, announced today, that Facebook, the world's largest social network, had agreed to buy Instagram for $ 1 Billion in cash and stock. This is a huge change for Facebook, which has more focused exclusively on acquisitions worth less than $100 million previously. This one is Facebook's largest acquisition to date by far.
Instagram is the popular photo-sharing application, a social network built around cellphone photos. Founded only two years ago, the application allows users to add quirky and stylized filters and effects to their snapshots and share them with friends, who can "like" and comment on them. It has become one of the most downloaded applications on the iPhone, with some 30 million users, and Instagram released a first version of its application for Google's Android operating system last week.
Even if the entire Instagram team – 13 employees – will be joigned Facebook, Marc Zuckerberg said that Instagram will grown "independently" and would continue to work with rival social networks.
Instagram's CEO Kevin Systrom also announced, on the company blog, that Instagram had agreed to be acquired, confirming that "you'll still be able to share to other social networks."
The deal is expected to be closed later this quarter, according to Facebook's statement.

Film Review: Bolt
Empty TWITTER
EmptyThose Beverly Hills Chihuahuas might have run their course, but a Hollywood White Shepherd efficiently marks his territory in "Bolt," an animated adventure about a canine action hero who's inadvertently shipped from his studio to the East Coast.
Although it will never be mistaken for Pixar pedigree, this genial production is a notable step up for Walt Disney Animation Studios and the first to fall under the creative guidance of Pixar's John Lasseter.
With easy-on-the-ears voice work from John Travolta and Miley Cyrus and easy-on-the-eyes digital 3-D (it's Disney's first animated effort to be conceived and designed from the outset with the format in mind), the film should handily tickle its target audience, especially at the select venues equipped to hand out those 3-D glasses.
Setting the dimensional stage with an extended action sequence that shows off the fresh technology, the story-within-the-story kicks in revealing TV superdog Bolt (Travolta) to be unaware that his villain-chasing studio environment is really all make-believe.
When he's accidentally shipped to New York, Bolt embarks on a cross-country quest, convinced that his person, Penny (Cyrus), remains in the clutches of evil back on that Hollywood soundstage.
Although his superpowers would appear to be on the fritz, he receives assistance from his two traveling companions: Mittens ("Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Susie Essman), a world-weary street cat, and Rhino (Mark Walton), a starstruck, plastic ball-encased hamster.
Serving as the feature debut for both co-directors Chris Williams and Byron Howard, the longtime Disney Animation employees keep things moving along at a pleasant visual clip.
It still would have been nice to see the script, credited to Williams and Dan Fogelman ("Cars"), have more of a comedic punch, with fuller character quirks and complexities to go along with the enhanced visual dimension.
The generic story line also follows an all-too-traveled path, sharing plot points with Disney's recent "101 Dalmatians" direct-to-DVD sequel.
But there's a terrific tenderness in Travolta's performance, while Cyrus and company (also including Malcolm McDowell as the diabolical Dr. Calico and James "Inside the Actors Studio" Lipton stretching -- or maybe not -- as a pompous director) are similarly effective.
And because they had him in the recording studio, anyway, the producers coaxed Travolta into singing an end-credits duet with Cyrus, the sweetly innocuous "I Thought I Lost You."

Candy Cane Cookies
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Look. Everyone loves them some Christmas cookies, me included. But there's only so far a boring sugar cookie or gingerbread man can go before it gets stale (pun totally intended) Try these candy cane cookies instead. Because they have candy canes in them. And they're delicious. This recipe came from the Ritz-Carlton kitchen, but I have no way of finding the original recipe. You're just gonna have to take my word on this one. —Fresh Beats, Fresh Eats
Serves: santa
pound Butter (3 sticks, room temperature)
2 1/4
cups Sugar
1 1/2
tablespoons Honey
cups Cake flour
cup Bread flour
pinch Salt
teaspoon Baking soda
tablespoon Vanilla extract
Mini candy canes (or 8 full-sized ones. Get the mini ones if you want an easier time breaking them up)
- First, take all that butter and sugar, cram it in a mixer, and cream it together.
- Scrape all the butter/sugar gunk down the sides of the bowl, then add the eggs and honey. Scrape again (just scrape every time you add something, you're a common sense kind of reader, you can figure this stuff out), then add the vanilla.
- Mix the dry stuff (flours, salt and baking soda) in a separate bowl, then mix it in with the creamy sugarbutter just until they're combined.
- Next, crush up the candy canes. Put them in TWO plastic bags and roll them over with a rolling pin until they're pellet-sized. You don't want them to end up as dust, but you don't want them to be huge either.
- Add the candy cane pieces to your dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 335, then take the dough out of the fridge and cut it into discs about 1/2 an inch thick. Put the discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are just barely brown.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Holiday Cookie from Anywhere in the World

VPS Hosting Solutions
Having a web website is an incredible method for business sector your thought, assessment, or item through out the whole world. As a result of that, an ever increasing amount individuals are building websites and distributed them on the web. With that, the web hosting circle of business flourishes. With a specific end goal to meet the necessities for every one of the clients, the web hosting organizations imagined the virtual private servers, also called VPS.
What is a Virtual Private Server
As the name recommends, the Virtual Private Server is a private server, which is not a real, physical machine, but rather rather, a shut framework, with its own particular working framework, which has all the usefulness and protection of a devoted server. As opposed to the shared hosting administration, the VPS hosting takes into consideration greater components, more adaptability and above all- higher CPU utilization. This permits the client to have greater and all the more requesting websites, without taking a chance with his record getting suspended for over-burdening the web server, as it ordinarily happens with shared web hosting accounts.
How does a VPS work
The VPS can be alluded to as a framework inside of the framework. Utilizing certain design summons, a framework manager can introduce a working framework on a sure place of the server's hard drive and appoint to that OS just a sure measure of the server's elements. That way, the OS employments just a piece of the server and is again a shut framework which is totally free from the server's OS and other virtual servers that may be facilitated inside of the same machine.
Benefits of the VPS hosting
Since the VPS records offer littler measure of components than a dedicated server, the VPS hosting suppliers have different virtual servers inside of one machine. That specifically thinks about the cost for the VPS to the end client, making it less expensive. The greatest advantage of the VPS hosting, then again, is that each virtual server gives full attach access to the client, permitting him to make a wide range of changes to the VPS working framework. Such changes are not generally fundamental, but rather when they are, they are normally fundamental for the execution of the website. Also, the VPS considers a greater rate of the server's components to be utilized by the website, which makes it accessible for enormous, substantial websites to be facilitated on it without the danger of the record being suspended.
Usage and exploitation
The VPS records are by and large arranged to more propelled clients, who have learning and in any event some involvement in web outline, programming, or framework organization. On the other hand, most web hosting suppliers started offering those administrations to more tenderfoot clients, by counting a web hosting control board in their VPS bundles. Of course, the VPS comes without a control board, implying that the client is expected to oversee it by writing in summons in a SSH summon module, or also called a console. The web hosting control board permits the client to utilize a graphical interface, when dealing with the administration, which obviously, makes it a ton less demanding. In expansion, the client has entry through SSH also, in any case the control board, along these lines, the administration has turned out to be very flexible once that arrangement was broadly embraced. Some hosting organizations have gone even further, by adding to their own particular web hosting control board and advertising it with their administrations. By that, they can diminish the cost for the administrations, since the greater part of the outsider control boards are paid. Such is the Hepsia control board, created by ExclusiveHosting.com. Regardless, these days it's redundant for a client to have information in programming so as to profit by the elements of a private server. That, consolidated with a reasonable value, makes the VPS administration the most suggested hosting service for anybody to go with.
VPS server location
When looking through the offers of a certain web hosting company, continuously check in the event that they have servers in more than one area and in the event that they do-then where precisely are their servers situated at. It is dependably better to have your web hosting service in an area, close to the city, or the nation that you live in. This is essential, particularly for websites, which would target guests from the place where you grew up, or nation, since the nearest the web server is, the less time it would take for you to interface with it. On the same standard, in the event that you live in the US, yet you're going to target guests from Spain, case in point, them it is shrewd to have your web server in, or some place close, Spain so that the Spanish clients may get to your website with no challenges. On the off chance that you don't have a particular gathering of guests that you're going to focus with your website, then dependably pick the server farm area that is nearest to your area. That way, you will have the capacity to have an all the more great network and the danger of you not being ready to achieve the server due to some association issues, will be lower in rate. Likewise, you knowing what number of server farm areas, a sure organization have will give you a superior thought of how experienced and clever they are. The greater part of the greatest hosting suppliers have servers in different areas, all through the world, in request to guarantee that they can get the same number of customers, from the same number of geological areas, as would be prudent. On the off chance that an organization has one and only information focus area, then they just can't stand to have servers anyplace else, which will imply that they have less assets and less staff experience.

Treatment Options for Colon Cancer
| Date Posted: 8/5/2011 | Author: Chris Whitesell
There are a variety of very successful treatment options available for those patients who have been diagnosed with colon cancer. The type of treatment that your physician and oncologist recommend depends primarily on the stage of the cancer. Often, two or more types of treatment will be combined at the same time or used one after the other for best results.
The four types of standard treatments used for colon cancer include:
Surgery: The most common treatment for all stages of colon cancer, surgery can be used to treat the disease as well as to preserve the normal function of the organ. There are a variety of surgical procedures that can be used to remove the cancer within the colon. Laparoscopic options that are minimally invasive are available as well.
Chemotherapy: This treatment involves the use of powerful drugs administered intravenously by injection or pump. Chemotherapy can be given in conjunction with surgery, radiation, or another therapy.
Radiation therapy: With this treatment, patients receive high doses of radiation to target and destroy cancerous cells within the colon. Radiation is most often used in conjunction with chemotherapy in treating colon cancer and it can also be used to destroy any cancerous cells that may be left behind after surgery.
Biological therapy: As we learn more about the gene and protein changes in cells that cause cancer, researchers have developed new drugs that specifically target these biological changes. Monoclonal antibody therapy is a type of this targeted therapy that is used to treat colon cancer.
The FirstHealth Cancer Services offers some of the most innovative and advanced medical treatments available for colorectal cancer. Located in Pinehurst, NC, we use the latest research, treatment, technology, and quality care to fight all stages of cancer.

A Warm Welcome…
You will find a warm welcome at Salem Bible Church. We are a church family of believers in Jesus Christ and God's Word, the Bible.
A Brief History / Statement of Faith / Ministries
Let me share a little about our church. We meet together in order to WORSHIP the true and Living God, Jesus Christ. He is the head of the Church, His Body. (Eph. 1:22-23) You will notice that we do things a little differently than many churches today. We believe with all our hearts that all that is done in the local church ought to be done so that "Christ might have all the preeminence". (Col.1:18) Our focus is upward. Our worship is GOD-CENTERED. We meet together to lift our hearts to Him and praise Him and glorify Him. Therefore, we avoid the modern "new wave" trends in Christendom today, which seem to cater to man. Our purpose as a church is not to create an atmosphere of entertainment for men, but rather we meet to worship God and to come to know Him in a deeper way. (Jer. 9:24; Phil. 3:10) We believe that God is infinitely holy. (Isa. 6:1-3) We come in His presence with reverence, in awe of His Person, and with hearts desirous to bow before Him and honor Him. Consider the following passage: "Give unto the Lord glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come before Him: Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." (I Chron. 16:29)
You will also notice that our MUSIC IS CONSERVATIVE. We believe it is honoring to God. We believe that the trendy pop and rock music has no place in the worship of the Lord of glory. Rather than lowering the standards of the church's music to "entertain the young people and keep them happy", we believe it more profitable to introduce young people to good, quality, Christ-honoring music. Much of what is being passed off as "Christian music" is nothing more than night club or rock music with shallow Christian words added. We believe that it is not honoring to God to copy the world's earthly, sensual music and bring it into the church. God deserves the best. After all, music is to be sung "to the Lord" and not to men. "Sing unto Him a new song…" (Psalm 33:3) Of course this will not be popular in a culture that caters to youth and virtually worships entertainment. Again, our goal is to please God, not men. (I Thess.2: 4)
Another difference you may notice here is our emphasis on "PREACHING THE WORD". There is a trend today to de-emphasize preaching by incorporating plays and skits into the service in a "theater" type setting. Good, old-fashioned sermons have been replaced by skimpy "sermonettes". However, the Scriptures plainly warn us to "preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season." (II Tim. 4:2a) The Bible emphasizes the ministry of preaching the Word. That is our emphasis. We come to bow our hearts before God's Word and say AMEN to its truths. Part of the reason preaching is being de-emphasized in some circles is because doctrine is no longer appreciated. This should be no surprise to us, for Paul warned that "the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears." (II Tim. 4:3-4) The Salem Bible Church is committed to emphasizing what GOD emphasizes in His Word, regardless of whether it is popular or not. God knows better than we do what we need to hear! In a day when many seem to shy away from teaching doctrine, by God's grace, we are determined to continue preaching the whole counsel of God and contending for the faith once delivered to the saints. (Jude 3)
Another important function of the local church is MINISTRY. We believe that God has equipped every believer to serve Him, and that every believer should be using his/her gifts for the glory of God. (I Pet. 4:10) That includes ministry in the local church. We hope you will find us to be a caring group of believers, who seek to "provoke one another unto love and good works" (Heb. 10:24-25). The purpose of the local church is to grow together, and minister to one another in love in such a way that the whole Body (the church) is strengthened, and the life of the indwelling Christ is manifested (Eph. 4: 11-16) to the world. We encourage believers (young and old!) to become active in the church through various forms of ministry. Christianity is not a "spectator sport". (I Cor. 12:7-27)
Of course, we also seek to reach out to others who do not know Christ. The Lord's GREAT COMMISSION is our command to tell others the good news of salvation through faith alone in the finished work of Christ on the Cross (Matthew 28:19-20). It is our belief that when the church service ends on Sunday morning, our individual service in the community as ambassadors for Christ begins (II Cor. 5:18-20)! As a church, we seek to get the message of Christ out to our local community as well as around the world. We send gospel papers to every home in Salem, have evangelistic services, and encourage each individual believer to be involved in personal evangelism. We also support overseas and local missionaries, as well as a local Bible institute. Jesus said to "make disciples" and to "teach them all things whatsoever I have commanded you". We see this as our Christian responsibility and great privilege.
We also believe strongly in the individual PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER. The church, the Body of Christ, doesn't HAVE a priesthood. It IS a priesthood! (I Pet. 2:5-9) Every true believer is a priest in God's sight, (male or female; young or old) and is to worship, praise, and serve the Lord. As a priest, he/she is personally accountable and responsible to Jesus Christ. (Rom. 14:12) We believe that the Christian is to live under the principle of grace and should demonstrate the fruit of the indwelling Holy Spirit daily. (Gal. 5:22-23) Love, joy and peace as well as holiness and purity should characterize the life of a New Testament priest.
While to some, the Salem Bible Church might seem a bit "old fashioned" and not very "contemporary", we do not believe that this is a bad thing at all! Not all forms of worship men offer to God are accepted by God! (Gen.4: 1-7; II Sam. 6:1-10; I Chron. 15:13) While we seek to minister to modern man and address modern problems in helpful, relevant ways, we believe with all our heart that the "old fashioned" Bible is all we need for life and godliness (II Pet. 1:2-3)! The old fashioned truth from God's Word does not mean "dry and dusty". We believe the Bible is living, fresh, exciting, and produces great JOY in the heart! God's Word and God's ways may be old, but they are never out of date.
As you can gather, our emphasis as a Bible church is on the BIBLE. We attempt to avoid the extremes of emotionalism on one hand and the deadness of liturgy & tradition on the other hand. Our goal is to emphasize the Word of God and pattern the Salem Bible Church after the model found in the New Testament. The church is a living Body of born again members functioning together in harmony in such a way as to carry out the will of our Head, the Lord Jesus Christ, in conjunction with His Word, the Bible. By following this pattern, the life of Christ is manifested and glorified. That is our purpose. If you are not presently attending a sound, Bible believing church, we would LOVE to have you become a vital part of this assembly of believers!

Eduardo Saverin: So when will it be finished?There was a time when I thought the most critical statement from this scene was "It won't be finished." But today I am thinking that Eduardo Saverin's closing line "Okay. But they manage to make money selling pants" really is the more important message for a business Facebook page. Your business Facebook page should contribute to your bottom line in some way...it certainly should not be a liability. Come to think about it, I covered this topic two years ago when I posted: Nine Tips For Managing A Business Facebook Page.
Mark Zuckerberg: It won't be finished. That's the point. The way fashion's never finished.
Eduardo Saverin: What?
Mark Zuckerberg: Fashion, fashion is never finished.
Eduardo Saverin: You're talking about fashion? Really, you?
Mark Zuckerberg: I'm talking about the idea of it. And I'm saying that it's never finished.
Eduardo Saverin: Okay. But they manage to make money selling pants.
Today I thought I would do two things:
- Show you how our Webconsuls' Facebook page looks today, because we will start updating it and you can follow the progress by "liking" us today and staying tuned.
- Share a great blog post from Copyblogger. How To Create A Cover Photo For Your Facebook Timeline. Read this post carefully, as it tells you what the cover photo may "not do" according to Facebook's terms. Also if you read some of the comments, you will notice that people have shared a link to their Facebook page with their new Cover Photo.
