[VIDEO] Announcing Exponential Groups by Allen White
Posted by Allen White in Small Group Strategy on January 31, 2017
I sat down recently with my publisher, Hendrickson Publishers, for a live interview about Exponential Groups. Well, my part was live. Their part was in print, so I have to basically interview myself. I hope you enjoy this and hear my heart for equipping and empowering our people to lead groups. The video is 15 minutes, but if you want to skip around, I've listed the questions below along with their time stamps.
- What is your background? (0:00)
- Who is the audience for Exponential Groups and what is the book about? (0:50)
- What has made you so passionate about expanding churches' small groups? (1:45)
- What do you think is the biggest factor hindering churches from successful group-making? (2:47)
- What advice would you give to someone who would like to start a small group but doesn't want to be considered its "leader"? (3:45)
- What are ways that a church can be creative in its approach to creating groups? (4:35)
- In chapter 1 you mention that a desire for control will hinder the growth of groups. For those who haven't read the book yet, what are some other examples of factors or mental blocks that typically hold groups back from their potential to expand that you discuss in Exponential Groups? (5:42)
- What's the best piece advice you've received about small groups? (8:02)

Celebrating Our First Year!
Posted by Allen White in Small Group Strategy on October 4, 2016
By Allen White
One year ago after following a nudge from the Holy Spirit, which felt move like a shove, my wife and I formed our own coaching organization. It was a big step. After working for two churches and then two stints at Lifetogether Ministries with Brett Eastman, it was time to go out on our own. And, what a year it's been!
Exponential Groups, my first book on small groups, will be released on February 1, 2017 from Hendrickson Publishers. Writing this book was something I just felt compelled to do, even if my mom is the only one who reads it. It's the stories and best practices from the over 1,500 churches I've coached and the two churches I served on staff. Why Exponential Groups? When we recruit individual leaders, we grow by addition. When we train apprentices and "birth" new groups, we grow by multiplication. When we engage our entire congregation in the Great Commission, we grow exponentially. You can preorder Exponential Groups at Christianbook.com, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online outlets. Hint: The book is $5 cheaper at Christianbook.com (my publisher owns it). (Download the first chapter Here). But, this isn't the best part.
I have the privilege of coaching some of the great churches across North American and helping them grow their groups exponentially. Here is a partial list of churches I've worked with in the last 12 months in various ways.
Coaching Groups — 19 Churches including:

Wow, when I stop and look at the list, I realize it truly has been an amazing first year. I also serve churches in some low cost ways:
My Blog: allenwhite.org
We've had a great first year and have seen great progress in the churches we have served. My hope in the coming year is not only to help more churches grow their small groups, but also to help more churches grow their people. In the Great Commission, Jesus charges every believer with the responsibility to "Go and make disciples…teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." The word we are keying in on for 2017 is "obey." Jesus didn't tell his disciples (including us) to "teach them…everything." He commanded us to "teach them to obey everything." An obedient church is a growing churches. Priorities will change. Chains will fall off. Communities will be transformed. Believes will be empowered. New leaders will come out of the woodwork. Without building another building or hiring another staff member, we can change the world.
Thanks to all of you who've allowed me to play in your sandbox and have taken this work seriously. You and your church will never be the same.
God bless,
A New Old Way to Make Disciples
Posted by Allen White in Small Group Strategy, Spiritual Growth on September 13, 2016
By Allen White
How do you make a disciple? If you don't know how, you may be living in disobedience.
Jesus in the Great Commission told us, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20, NIV).
This is one of those passages we've read so often that we don't really think about it anymore. It's become, "Yada, yada, yada" to us. Let's pause for a minute to answer our question about how to make disciples.
If we share the Gospel with someone, and they pray to receive Christ (or whatever vernacular your theological tradition dictates), have you made a disciple or a convert? Are they the same thing? It seems that a disciple must be a convert, but could a convert not be a disciple? Let's look at the "recipe" for making disciples.
Baptism is in there. Whether you dunk, sprinkle, or pour is determined, again, by your theological tradition. Get them wet. Step one.
Now, here's the kicker, "teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Notice the wording here. Jesus did not say, "teaching them…everything I have commanded you." He said, "teaching them to obey." That just upped the ante. Just teaching them doesn't guarantee obedience.
When I studied Christian Education in seminary, we learned a lot about outcomes. Do we want the student to have a change in knowledge, attitude, or behavior? The default tends to aim us toward a change in knowledge. It's easy to portion. It's easy to measure.
How many verses have you memorized? How many chapters have you read? Do you read through the Bible every year? How many classes did you attend? We can measure these things. But, if this is the sum of our disciplemaking, then we are either assuming what we are teaching is sinking in, or we are offering a placebo for making disciples.
As D.L. Moody once said, "The Bible was not given for our information, but for our transformation." Why? The Bible tells us, "Knowledge puffs up, while love builds up" (1 Corinthians 8:1). If the end result of our Bible studies and classes is a group of people who are proud of their biblical knowledge, then we have missed the mark. Unless we have to win "Bible Jeopardy" to enter the pearly gates, what good is more information doing for anyone? After all, some students of the Bible are not longing for transformation, they are Bible connoisseurs searching for something new to learn.
Howard Hendricks took things a little further when he stated, "In the spiritual realm, the opposite of ignorance is not knowledge, it's obedience." Now, we go back to the words of Jesus, "teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Discipleship is more than "book learnin'."
A disciple is more than just a brain. Sometimes we learn to obey when we serve. Other times we learn to obey by processing strong emotions. When was the last time you poured high voltage chemicals into a low voltage situation? Why did you react that way? Did it trigger something? Did you slow down long enough to process it?
I'm not against education. I do have a few problems with how we make disciples. As a whole being, we worship and love God with our whole selves. Why can't we learn to obey that way as well?
In looking at effective discipleship methods, I have found something new that's actually very old. Mizizi was brought over from Kenya by Kenton Beeshore and Mariners Church in California. Known in English as "Rooted," it focuses on experiential learning. There are large group experiences, small group experiences, daily reflection, and dedicated times of prayer, serving, and celebration. The ideas practiced in Rooted go back to the First Century church, the Moravians, the Celtics, and the early Wesleyans. Rooted is a non-Western approach at making disciples, and it's working.
Mariners Church has seen 90 percent of their Rooted participants continue in on-going Life Groups. They are also serving more (70%) and have increased their generosity (82%). But, beyond statistics, the personal stories of life change are remarkable. There is something to the rhythms of a variety of experiences in making disciples and teaching them to obey.
Making disciples could never be summed up in one blog post, not even close. There will be more. I hope you would leave a few thoughts of your own in the comments. Please understand often the way I state things is to provoke people to think, including myself. If I've provoked you, please let me know.

How Mariners' Rooted Journey Grows Groups, Service & Giving
Posted by Allen White in Small Group Strategy, Spiritual Growth on April 25, 2016
Pastor Kenton Beshore and Mariners Church started something six years ago that intrigues me.
I'm more than a little leery when a ministry presents a new strategy which they claim is the best thing since sliced bread. (I also wonder what the best thing was before sliced bread). I've been in ministry for a long time. I preached my first sermon 34 years ago. I've been part of the small group movement for the last 20 years. It's not that I'm old — I'm only 51 and I have a two year old — I was called to ministry early in life.
There have been so many faddish things over the years. Some of them produced temporary results. Some produced no results. Just a few produced lasting results. I'm talking everything from the launch of bus ministry to the introduction of praise music to the comfort of seeker services to the impact of church-wide campaigns. Each one of those basically claimed their own decade from the 1970's on.
People were saved. Churches grew. Impact was made. But, then they disappeared. Some strategies and ministry ideas had a much shorter shelf-life.
So, now that you understand my jaded, skeptical point of view, you can certainly understand why I very rarely endorse anything. I want to see how it plays out. Is this just the next new shiny thing that we pastors tend to chase after? Is this an attempt to copycat what's working somewhere else in hopes it will work here? Then, I get real honest — is somebody just out to make a buck?
My Introduction to the Rooted Experience.
About nine months ago, Caleb Anderson, Lead Pastor of Mariners Church, Huntington Beach, CA, introduced me to Rooted. I was blown away. It's not a program. It's not merely a curriculum. It's a catalyst that produces dramatic transformation. He had my attention, but I did go to school in Missouri, so he needed to show me.
Then, I began to hear story after story of transformed lives. People coming to Christ. Marriages saved. Addictions forsaken. Bodies and minds completely healed. Lives and finances surrendered to God. But, here's the most intriguing thing — all of this was happening over a 10 week experience. Now, I really had to see this to believe it.
I was part of the Rooted Training in November of last year and met churches of many denominations, sizes, and locations who were telling similar stories. I've spent the last month on the phone with pastors from across the country talking about how lives are transformed, congregations are emboldened, and communities are impacted because of a simple 10 week experience in Rooted. My doubts were quickly erased.
What a Kenyan Church Taught Kenton Beshore about Discipleship
In partnership with a Kenyan church, Kenton Beshore was introduced to a non-Western, experiential learning process which was seeing dramatic transformations in Africa. Having exhausted many means of discipleship, assimilation, and church growth in the U.S., Kenton thought, "Why not bring Rooted (or Mizizi in Swahili) to Mariners?" The results have been remarkable.
After six years of leading the congregation of Mariners Church through Rooted, 90 percent of Rooted groups have gone on to become on-going Life Groups at Mariners Church with 90 percent of the group members continuing in the Life Groups. Rooted graduates have increased their giving by 82 percent and 70 percent have increased their serving. Now, imagine those kinds of results in your church.
Here's the thing about Rooted, if you just perused the curriculum, you would probably find it fairly unremarkable in and of itself. In fact, at first glance it appears fairly uncomplicated, and yet those who have completed the 10 week Rooted journey have discovered the experience is bold, focused, and powerful. They have seen health in their members, their churches, and their ministries unlike what they've seen before.
Like I said, I am leery of new shiny things. But in Rooted, I have found something so remarkable and so special that I actually joined the Rooted Team for a season. And, I'm still a huge advocate.

Should We Euthanize Small Groups?
Posted by Allen White in Small Group Strategy on December 1, 2015
Recently a friend passed along an article titled Why Churches Should Euthanize Small Groups by Brian Jones, founding pastor of Christ's Church of the Valley, Royersford, PA. The article was published in the Christian Standard in 2011, so I'm a little late to the party here. Maybe the issues Brian raises have already been hashed over. But, just in case, you also missed the party too, let's dig in.
The premise of the piece is that small groups don't produce holistic disciples and never have. Pastors apparently have been sold a bill of goods by experts that has resulted in "Well-intentioned Christians, armed with the latest insights in organizational theory, let their pragmatic and utilitarian hearts delude them into thinking they could organize, measure, and control the mystical working of the Holy Spirit in community in order to consistently reproduce disciples in other contexts." While I am unsure how much a person could actually control the Holy Spirit, the author raises a good point. While pastors wish to guarantee that the church's efforts, ministries, and groups are bearing fruit, the metrics are tricky. I suppose the reverse of quantifying the impact of groups is not to measure anything or to eliminate groups completely so there is nothing to measure. Brian Jones offers an alternative.
He writes, "Every small group I've ever been in that helped me grow as a disciple started by what appeared to be an accident. I wasn't looking for it. I wasn't interested in joining a small group in the least. And in many respects, I didn't even feel a need to grow spiritually." His ideal was back when he was 18 years old and a few friends came together spontaneously and started hanging out with one another. Now, I will be honest, I am all in favor of this. According to the article the group "grew to 10 to 12 friends. We laughed together, prayed together, studied the Bible together, ate together, evangelized together, and served the poor together. Even though we had no leader, no real set meeting time, no agenda, and no plan or focus, it was through these friends that I made incredible strides toward becoming a holistic disciple of Jesus…And it all happened by accident."
1. How well do "accidental" non-groups make holistic disciples of Jesus in most churches?
My dream is for groups of believers to gather together and do the exact things Brian describes in his article. If every Christian would spontaneously get together with other believers to encourage each other, apply God's Word, serve together, pray together, and win others to Christ, it would be a big win. In fact, groups would no longer need to be organized. We wouldn't need to call them "small groups." Instead, we could call this "Normal." I would love it.
The problem is most Christians in America are very distracted. As Francis Chan says regarding the Parable of the Soils, "Most Christians in America are not good soil. They are thorny ground." The cares of this world have taken over. When do they slow down enough to read God's Word, pray, meet with other believers, or even think about God? Most don't unless they are in a weekend service.
But, can our efforts to motivate and organize believers into doing something intentional about their spiritual growth also go too far? The author makes a valid point, "I wasn't participating in some superficial churchwide small group sign-up initiative the senior pastor dreamed up to jack up small group attendance because he heard church analysts say you should always maintain a certain ratio of worship attendees to small group participants." If pastors were to offer their members the choice of joining a group of strangers or meeting with a group of friends, I believe most people would prefer to meet with their friends, just like Brian Jones prefers.
I have written on group formation many times before. The question I have asked for a long time is Why Reconnect People Who are Already Connected? Everyone has friends, neighbors, co-workers, family, and others who are open to spiritual things. As I wrote in the first line of my book, "Everyone is already in a group." If given the opportunity, they would actually do something intentional about their spiritual growth. On their own, they probably would not.
I am all in favor of the "organic" nature of the group Brian Jones enjoyed. I'm not so sure about his label of "accidental." If we surveyed Brian's congregation or anyone else's, I wonder how many people have been or currently are a part of an accidental group that is helping them become a holistic disciple of Jesus. I haven't studied this, but my educated guess is most churches would only have a handful at most.
2. Aren't all Christians disciples?
In the article Brian writes, "When I attended my very first church growth conference in 1992, a nationally known small group 'expert' stood up and said, 'The way we say it at our church is, If you can read, you can lead. If a Christian can read questions in our study guide, he can lead a small group at our church.'
"'That's easy,' Brian thought. 'Too easy, in fact. And ridiculous.'"
But, here's the thing, by his own admission, Brian's accidental, organic group had "no leader." So would his motto be, "No leader is better than a reader"? He goes on to explain, "Small groups don't create disciples; disciples create disciples. And modern-day small groups are led, for the most part, by people who have attended the church, had a conversion experience, led a reasonably moral life, and can read the study guide questions, but are not disciples themselves." I guess the question I must ask here is: What is a disciple anyway?
This is perhaps a bigger question than we can answer here, but if every believer has chosen to follow Jesus and has the Holy Spirit working in them, are they not disciples? Or is a being a "disciple" a certain mindset? Granted every believer's faith is in a different place. While some people are able to trust God for great things, others maybe don't even think to pray about their needs. While some are ambitious is showing God's love to others in their communities, others are busy and distracted raising their families and working their jobs, which are not necessarily unspiritual endeavors. Is discipleship a destination or a continuum? If it's a continuum, then wouldn't it be far to say all believers are disciples, but are in very different places in their growth toward Christlikeness? Or, is there an elite class of believers who are serious disciples who leave the rest of us in the dust?
The author's beef is: "The common argument against small groups is flawed. The problem with small groups isn't that they pool the group's collective ignorance; it's that they pool the group's collective disobedience. And it's not the small group leader's fault. It's the fault of the people who installed the leader and convinced him he could lead their group to a place where they themselves have not gone." Brian makes a good point. None of us can lead others beyond what we have truly lived and experienced. But, they can lead people who have less experience than they do.
This is why I gave up on signing people up for groups, advertising groups, or sending people to groups years ago. If on a spiritual scale of zero to 10, (Zero being a non-believer, and 10 being a saint), a spiritual "three" who decides to lead a group gets into big trouble if sixes, sevens, and eights signs up for that group. But, if the same spiritual "three" invited his or her friends to the group, more than likely the group would be made up of other threes, twos, ones, zeros, and negative twos. A spiritual "three" can lead this group. In fact, as John Maxwell says, "Leadership is influence." If new leaders gather those they have influence over, then the group is off on the right foot.
3. Forming more well rounded groups.
The last issue I will take up here is what the group does. If as Brian Jones says, "Christians…sit in circles and talk to one another inside a building…read and comment on the Bible…rant about how they long to 'get out there' and do something that matters…people go home unchallenged and unchanged." He goes on to say, "In my humble opinion, the Americanized small group is a remnant of an impotent religious institution that can't transition effectively into a post-Christian, postmodern world." He certainly makes some good points here.
In my experience, groups will accomplish what is expected of them. If groups are formed around hobbies for fellowship, they will hang out and do their hobbies. If groups are formed around Bible studies, they will do Bible studies. Where the church leadership directs groups is where they will go. So, why not direct them differently?
There are some great holistic approaches to discipleship that involve experiences and outreach projects and not just academic exercises. For instance, Rooted created by Mariners Church, Irvine, CA and their partner, Mavuno Church, Nairobi, Kenya, developed a group experience through community, study, focused prayer, breaking strongholds, and serving others. (And, I'm probably oversimplifying this.) This group approach through experiential learning over the last 6 years at Mariners has resulted in 90% of their Rooted Groups becoming on-going Life Groups. Of the Rooted graduates, 82% have increased their giving, and 70% have increased their serving. For more information on Rooted, go here.
The direction given to groups will make a big difference in the outcomes of the groups. While some folks may be unmotivated or possibly will join a group out of obligation, look at how we've grown over the years. The most profound growth came through painful circumstances with other believers to support us. Now, marketing that growth plan would be very difficult. But, a church can prepare their members by helping them to experience biblical community before their next problem comes.
I am always in favor of books and articles that make me think. Just check out my review of Joseph Myers' The Search to Belong. I think it's good to question the status quo rather than reading the same small group books over and over with a different cover and a different author. But, Brian Jones is throwing the baby out with the bath water, except he's not. Apparently euthanasia didn't work for the groups at Christ's Church of the Valley. If you browse over to the church's website (props to PlainJoe Studios — nice site), you will find a dozen or more small groups listed in the church's groupfinder. Huh? I suppose the euthanasia didn't take.

Transform a Photo into an Illustration with Photoshop
Transform a photo into an illustration / oil painting with this clever Photoshop trick. The technique gives fine details the appearance of brush strokes, and looks fantastic when applied to a wide range of different images. It's a lot of fun, and can totally reinvigorate your approach to processing photos.
converting a photo into an illustration using this technique takes a few minutes. This is simply because of the multiple Photoshop Filters that are required to apply the effect. So you're probably wondering why you wouldn't just use the Oil paint filter that has just made a return to Photoshop CC. The honest answer is that this effect is simply different. They both apply a different effect to images, so you can decide which works best for each individual image.
Check out these Photoshop Actions
Would you like to apply this effect at the click of a button? You can buy this effect, along with an instant sketch effect by FilterEfex on Creative Market.

Pulp City Shakes at the Fury of Antaean
March 6, 2014 by dracs
Pulp City Supreme Edition did pretty well on Kickstarter and we can all look forward to more awesome minis appearing. One of the most interesting prospects will be the fan created supremes, made by those who pledged the Supreme Genesis level.
This is Antaean, the first of five supremes that we can expect to see from those who purchased the Genesis level pledge. This one seems to be very much in line with heroes such as Thor, though in this case he seems to draw his power from the Greek pantheon as his name apparently means "gifted with superhuman strength" in the Greek language.
It says a lot about a culture when they have a single word for that.
The Genesis pledgers will be working alongside the Pulp City creative team, coming up with the design and rules of their supreme which will then become a part of the Pulp City setting. The models of these might also become available as optional add-ons to people's existing pledges.
Are you looking forward to seeing what else these guys will come up with? What sort of super hero would you dream up?

, 2015 | Author: Joanna Walsh | Posted in Marketing
When looking for variation of services in the Internet, it will surely give you a lot of results. Even if you decide to narrow it down by searching for those specialist services like conference transcription and so on, it will still give you large number of results or websites that have the information you need.
As the one who needs the service, you must consider series of guidelines to aid you in choosing the best company. The firm should offer good quality transcription services to assure that the output will be excellent. Price is not the only guide to be considered. There are other more important factors for you to think about such as its quality.
Each subject needs to be considered well in many ways. There are important factors such as the number of employees that they have, the time that they will deliver the output and the process of proofreading their work are only few of the many factors which should be considered totally. It must be added to the cost that a client must pay.
You also must know that transcription companies must be aware of all the limitations posed by some experienced transcribers. They must take those large projects within the turnaround time. Failure may be possible but as much as needed avoid those who do not have good background in the business to get rid of any complication.
You need to avoid those companies that offer rushed work given the incompetent transcribers or workers. The main disadvantage is the quality of service and the schedule to review the output and proofread everything. All clients cannot do some reviews sometimes that is why it may result to some mistakes or problems that can affect the quality.
The overall quality must not be affected or compromised by the several loads that they have. They need to ensure that the tasks are done perfectly. They need to accept works based on the transcribers that they have right now. They should not do it beyond their capability of working. Another is knowing those people that are behind the methods. They should be all well experienced in performing the procedures.
Transcribing is not really a suitable task for any typist with just a few years of experience in doing office works. Each one must have excellent language and grammar skills. Their ability in proofreading must be exceptional as well. Most of all, they must be able to recognize all inconsistencies in the words
cheap air max outlet
, spot errors and be confident in every work that they will do.
All company standards must be followed carefully as well by doing your best. It may be controversial but using English as a command in the work is needed since it is important these days. It is the major language used by most people in the industry. The workers must specialize this language therefore to get rid of adjustments which needs much time to do.
There are other guidelines to be considered well to ensure that the output will be good. You have to put in mind all tips needed to get the best outcome that you desire the most. These must be considered too to get the best type of service.
When you are looking for information about transcription services, you can pay a visit to our web pages online today. Details are available at http:transcription-services.org now.
Create Strong Video Marketing By Using These Suggestions If you are new to video marketing, you should start with some simple exercises. Create a short video of yourself demonstrating a product or talking about your business and show it to some friends to get some feedback. Do not publish your videos until they look professional and convey a positive image of your brand.
Utilize captions and annotations within your videos. They have to be used properly though. Poor captions and annotations can distract the viewer from your content, so breaks in the video are excellent areas to use them. Occasionally using an annotation while you are speaking in a video is acceptable, as long as it does not distract the viewer from what you are saying.
When video marketing and doing transcripts, make sure you pay attention to the proper keywords that are already part of your advertising strategy. You might also want to develop some new keywords as well. Keywords are hugely important for many reasons
cheap nike air max 95 sale
, and they obviously are in play too because of videos being highly searchable.
Don't forget about other video websites. YouTube is not the be all and end all of video uploading websites! Google to find niche sites which you might be able to post your video to, or even consider trading your video with another website which has a topic similar to your own.
Why not review a product in your line? Have real customers test it out and provide you with a home video of their efforts. This is a great way to give a personal feel to your brand while also showing how great your products or services to new and old customers alike.
Use other people such as guest speakers on your site and in your videos. As interesting as you might be, your viewers will really appreciate seeing a fresh new face. Make sure that whoever you have in your videos reflects the kind of message you want to send to your viewers.
If you are new to video marketing, then your first few videos should be shorter in length, approximately two minutes long. The purpose of these videos is primarily for education purposes. Once you become more comfortable posting videos, you can then increase the video length and try some editing. However
cheap nike air max 90 sale
, when starting out, you need to first establish yourself as a knowledgeable professional who knows what heshe is talking about.
Don't forget about the search engines. You need to optimize your videos so that people can actually find them. Otherwise, it.

How it works Collagen is the substance that supports the skin, giving it that youthful glow and elasticity. Think of the skin as a mattress, with fibre as the oils and Collagen (and Elastin) the foam filling in between. Remove the foam and the mattress will collapse in places. Collagen Fluid is a pure natural collagen with a molecular structure almost identical to human collagen. It penetrates the dermis to pump up lost collagen, hydrate the skin, and restore youthful radiance. Its origin… First developed in Switzerland for the treatment of rapid healing after surgery, the product was modified slightly as a cosmetic. Most of the major cosmetic companies incorporate between 1 and 5 % collagen into their more expensive products. Collagen Fluid is the pure ingredient with the addition of a small percentage of glycerine to give it "body". Is it gentle enough for my skin? Collagen Fluid has been thoroughly tested in Swiss studies and is odourless, colourless and contains no perfumes, fats or oils. It won't irritate sensitive skin or clog the pores. It can be used with confidence around the eyes. It is perfect for men as a soothing aftershave balm.

"I want to do the best that I can, but it's not about me, it's about making Sectionals, I just want to win," says Dennis Swetz.
And so far Dennis Swetz has helped his team do a lot of winning. The Churchville-Chili football team is in second place in their division and primed for a spot in Sectionals. Somewhere the Saints are yet to reach since Dennis joined the team.
He's the captain on both the football and basketball teams, but Dennis says football is his favorite sport.
"I'm more passionate about it, been playing since I was six years old," he says. "Basketball is fun, but I don't get the jitters and butterflies before games; you only get seven and each win is more special."
Also special is Dennis's work in the classroom. He's reached the highest honor roll in every quarter while in high school and was given the RPI Award for Excellence in math and science -- certainly someone who people can look up to.
"I like being the important guy on the team, everybody looks up to me," he says. "I love helping everybody out, I like being the guy that people look up to."
Congratulations Dennis Swetz, the News10NBC Scholar Athlete of the Week presented by Nixon Peabody and the Ide Family of Dealerships.

An executive office desk can be easily set up just as long as the required parts and necessary tools are present and complete for its construction. Certain elements also must be kept in mind such as its dimension and overall size, the features to be added, and the materials to be used. Also, if it`s an ordered item, the desk must be customized according to the client`s preferences. A desk can be customized in several different ways such as the desk color, the number of under desk-drawers, the style and the size of the footings. It`s also important to decide what kind of finish to be applied on the desk top.
There are some fantastic desk models available that aren`t made from the same materials that you will find from any local hardware discount store. There are desks made of stainless steel or with thick heavy glass. These models tend to be more eye-catching and unique than many of the run of the mill wood panel designs that are common today. They are also usually available in specialty furniture stores that create unique styles of furnishings for those who are interested in something out of the ordinary, though many ordinary office furniture stores often have similar models, too.
About Us
Serve you with pleasure, Invo Desk proudly presented its first inspiration in 2017. We're home office and furniture enthusiasts, just like you. Today we're going to have more than 1,000 unique articles with more than 15,000 pictures & ideas …so We are pretty sure that you can find everything you want here.

While many aspects of lawn care Utah may be slowing down, mowing your lawn isn't one of them. Because the weather is becoming cooler, you may find that you are mowing your lawn more frequently instead of less. Inspecting the lawn is also another important part of October lawn maintenance.
You need to make a personal inspection of your lawn every week to determine what it may need. Depending on the temperatures and amount of rain you receive in your area, you may need to mow more often. You will be the best judge of what you need to do as you prepare your lawn for fall and winter.
While you need to mow more often, you don't need to change the height of the blade. No matter how hot or cold the weather may be you only want to remove the top of the blade. This makes sure your lawn looks green and healthy during this transitional time.
Practicing good lawn maintenance can help reduce the amount of weeds, insects and diseases your grass may suffer. Your roots will be deep and strong, and the grass will be tall enough to crowd out most of the weeds. If you water during the morning and allow the grass to dry in the warm summer sun, you may also be able to avoid many potential lawn diseases.
Monitoring your lawn during the month of October will help determining the type of lawn care Utah you may need. If you feel that you need more help, Turf Plus is willing to offer an inspection of your lawn to discover what you need. Contact us today and tell us what is going on with your lawn and we can let you know how we can help you.

"Housing Play the Rebound" was the title for an article in the recent Investors Guide 2013 issue of Money magazine. Well-written and informative by Lisa Gibbs, it reviewed the various ways that investors can profit from the American housing market, as it is unquestionably coming back. While it may seem paradoxical, investing in foreclosures is an ideal way to profit.
Even though the US real estate market is recovering from The Great Recession as covered in Gibbs' Money magazine piece, there are still millions of properties in foreclosure. That means there are many opportunities to profit for those willing to passively invest with a long term approach. This is especially true in the Chicago market, which has an ideal combination of higher prices and stronger sales.
Passively investing for the long term puts time on the side of the buyer. It is impossible to time the market, no matter what the asset class. Research reveals that those trying to day trade or otherwise speculate almost always end up losing money. But, over the last 200 years, real estate has created about 90% of the world's millionaires. There is no reason to expect that change. Passively investing in foreclosed properties for the long term will position buyers to gain from that historic trend.
To increase the net profits, the foreclosed properties can be held in a retirement account, such as an individual retirement account (IRA). When an asset is part of a retirement account, the investment income is tax free. So are any profits from selling the asset. If a foreclosed property was bought and then rented out, the rental income would be tax free. Should the foreclosed property be sold for a gain, there would be no taxes on the profit.
There is also risk management when real estate is in a retirement account. Properties in a retirement account cannot have a mortgage. From that, there is no chance of missing payments and losing the property. Mitigating risk like that is important in all investing. If it had happened before, the property would never had gone into foreclosure.
But there is more to investing in foreclosures than just selling at a price higher than that paid, along with the associated expenses. Through foreclosure investing, entire neighborhoods are revitalized. What was once a blemish on the block becomes someone's new home, with "pride of ownership for all to see." In this way, a city comes back to life: house by house, block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, community by community.

Air Marshal Gration became an Officer of the Order of Australia in 1988. He also holds the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air in recognition of his role in flying training and air transport.
Other appointments held by Air Marshal Gration include Officer Commanding RAAF Base Fairbairn, ACT; Director of Operations – Air Force; Officer Commanding RAAF Base Richmond, NSW; and Director General Joint Operations and Plans, Australian Defence Force Headquarters, Canberra.

He was appointed Air Commander Australia in February 1990 and became Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) in October 1992.
As CAS, he guided the RAAF through a period of significant structural change, surmounting the challenges of structural reviews to make the RAAF a more effective and capable force as it moved into a new era of regional defence cooperation. He retired from the RAAF in 1994 after 41 years of service.
In March 1996, Air Marshal Gration graciously accepted the Society's invitation to become Patron for an initial term of three years and has served continuously as Patron since.

The route starts at Portavadie on Loch Fyne and ends at Inveruglas on Loch Lomond. There are ferry links also to the Kintyre Way and to the West Highland Way, and thence to the Great Glen Way. It's the missing link that enables Scotland's ultimate long-distance walk, from the Mull of Kintyre all the way to Inverness.

The trail is waymarked and undulating, with rugged terrain and glorious views over Bute and the Firth of Clyde. The area is rich in history and heritage, with wildlife sightings including red squirrel, red deer and golden eagle.
This essential guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy your holiday on Cowal and Bute:
- detailed route description for the Way walked south-west to north-east

An interior decorator can change your life. Alexis Nielsen is just that interior decorator. Alexis designed and managed my remodel to reflect the lifestyle and comfort I wanted for my home and family. We have a home, not a house, which is beautiful, comfortable, cozy and unique, because of Alexis. She is a miracle worker! Alexis is an amazingly talented decorator and great project manager. Beyond her skills, she has a 6th sense about what will work in your house and space and she has the courage and willingness to really probe about your needs, expectations and budget. Alexis is also really skilled at handling and managing the inevitable frustrations and emotions that arise from a home decorating project. There were many things that I initially dismissed but Alexis took the time to educate and recommend great ideas that I absolutely love. My project began as an attic space to master bedroom remodel but soon extended to my entire home because of her awesomeness. We have worked together for over two years and the scope of the remodel expanded because Alexis made such great affordable recommendations and suggestions. One of the first things I told Alexis was that I was budget conscious. Alexis met that challenge through her willingness to shop anywhere and everywhere for a bargain. I also travel every week from Monday through Friday so I needed Alexis to manage the project closely for me. Her ability to communicate and delegate with vendors while I was away was invaluable to me. It saved my time, money and aggravation. She worked side by side with my contractor every step of the way, and they have continually worked together to come up with solutions that work best for the space and my budget. Alexis is flexible, diligent, has excellent attention to detail, and she's just fun to work with. Her design skills have transformed a dark and dated space into a light filled home filled with color and beautiful details. Alexis has a great eye for space potential. Her recommendation to add 9 skylights to the pitched roof for my master suite seemed crazy and really, really expensive. Today I can't imagine the space without them. They have truly transformed the feel of the master bedroom. She was also willing and able to adapt to challenging schedule changes with a smile. During our project, my sister and her daughter had to move into the home for six months because their own home was severely damaged in a storm. Alexis kept things on track as needed until the work could resume at full level. I would highly recommend Alexis for any decorating project.SG, Forest Park
About 10 years ago I made the decision to paint my master bedroom pale blue. Why did I do that? I hate the color blue! It took me a long time to realize that my dissatisfaction with the room and my inability to make any decorating choices for it was due to the wall color. Duh! I met Alexis Nielsen through a friend of mine and decided to ask her to help me. First thing, work on the wall color! I am not afraid of bold dark colors so Lexi suggested the Vintage Wine and Hush colors from Benjamin Moore. Painting those walls was the most satisfying part of the project. While we were at it, I had crown molding installed that made the room look finished and lovely. Because my budget was small, Lexi went around the house and tried to find ways to repurpose accent pieces I had in other rooms. Painted chests from a spare bedroom and a secretary I had on a landing fit in the bedroom perfectly. The landing got a much smaller table and mirror that look fantastic in that space. Lexi suggested a beautiful patterned chocolate brown rug from Crate and Barrel for the bedroom. It is plush and soft and I love walking on it. A new duvet set from Pottery Barn came next. The final part of the project is the artwork for the walls. I can't wait to see what Lexi finds for me. It has been a pleasure working with Lexi. The vision I have had for the master bedroom has finally come to be. She listened to what I wanted to do and made it all happen. I love it!AG, Glenview
I consider myself having a pretty good eye for choosing paint color when it comes to decorating the inside of my house. But when I was considering the colors for the outside of my house, that prospect presented a bigger challenge to me than I cared to take on. Bottom line – I needed help. The outside was very outdated and desperately needed some updating and curb appeal. And, putting the wrong colors on the outside can be disastrous. After talking to several paint companies, no one could give me any direction in finding someone who did color consultation. Well, in walked Alexis. She was working on an internal design for a good friend of mine, and I thought it couldn't hurt to contact her about doing an outside color design for a house. She explained to me that although most of her work didn't include exterior design, she was willing to help me with my project. And for that, I truly appreciated her candor in being up front about her experience. Our consultation was more of what I would call a color lesson than a consultation. I had a color palette in mind, but her ideas totally blew me away. She listened to what I wanted to accomplish and made great suggestions without discarding my color choices. She explained why they would work well with the style of my house. So, deciding on the color palette all made perfect sense. When Alexis returned with the actual colors, they were perfect. She gave me choices. Ask me which ones I liked. And she agreed to come back when I was ready to get the project started to oversee the paint contractor for me. It was truly a pleasure working with her. I will definitely work with her again. And I would definitely recommend Alexis for any design project, interior or exterior.MC, Evanston
Lexi Nielsen is a dream to work with. She has an unusual combination of design expertise, a keen sense of observation, and a heightened ability to listen. Lexi asks the right questions in a manner that helped us clarify our lifestyle goals. I would add that Lexi is a "no-nonsense" professional as well. She honored our time, budget and personal taste. I never felt pressured to do something that I did not want because Lexi guided the design process so skillfully. For us – a merged marriage with lots of eclectic stuff – Lexi was masterful at negotiating our differences. She coached us and kept us focused on what we wanted as a couple, while supporting us as we each simplified our "stuff."Anne White, Oak Park
Lexi was such a great help in decorating my office. As it has no windows, it presented quite a challenge. Despite this, she made seemingly simple suggestions that did a phenomenal job at opening up the space while still maintaining the intimate feel of the room. I also appreciated how she was able to suggest space-specific ideas that worked within my budget. Since my office has been finished, several colleagues have made comments as to how comfortable the space is, and one new colleague has held up my office as an example of how he'd like his office to be. I highly recommend her.Dr. Pam Niesluchowski, Chicago
Lexi is so easy to work with. She is patient and insightful. She listens to what I say and picks up on my likes and dislikes. She has helped me get out of my "conservative box" and try different things. Her greatest advice has been "Try it and see if you like it. You can always go back." I love working with her.Cheryl Noie, Columbus

My new model 4-108 has a secondary fuel filter with a return line to tank at the location that Nigel Calder shows a bleed nipple alone.
If I open this fitting and actuate the manual lifting pump lever many times will that bleed sufficient air after a secondary filter change? Or do I have to also go through the whole injector pump bleeding procedure outlined in Perkins owners manual?
Thanks for any advice.

Free Will Astrology
Free Will Astrology Week of February 6
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wageni ni baraka is a Swahili proverb that means "guests are a blessing." That's not always true, of course. Sometimes guests can be a boring inconvenience or a messy burden. But for you in the coming weeks, Aries, I'm guessing the proverb will be 98 percent correct. The souls who come calling are likely to bestow unusually fine benefits. They may provide useful clues or missing links you've been searching for. They might inspire you to see things about yourself that you really need to know, and they might even give you shiny new playthings. Open your mind and heart to the unexpected blessings.

As the national unity issue makes its way into the election campaign, the Conservative candidate in Gatineau is incensed the union representing federal government workers is supporting the sovereigntist candidate — and urging other Canadians to vote for him, too.
|• Candidates in short supply at debates
|• Can't trust Harper with health care: Rae
|• Ignatieff wades into fresh water debate
Jennifer Gearey, who took an unpaid leave of absence from her job as a communications adviser for international security policy for the Department of National Defence, called it "hypocrisy" that the Public Service Alliance of Canada has thrown its support behind Bloc Quebecois candidate Richard Nadeau.
"I don't know how the union representing federal public service is putting its support behind a man who represents a party that wants to tear apart our country," she told iPolitics. "It doesn't make any sense whatsoever."
Gearey approached the union on the weekend to arrange a meeting to share her vision for the public service and hear their concerns. A union representative replied with a flat "no" because they already thrown support behind Nadeau.
"I couldn't believe a union is presenting such a closed vision and options for PSAC workers — they're not even giving me the option of sitting down to discuss and hear from them," she said. "As a public servant myself, I have public servants best interests in mind."
PSAC issued a news release April 14 urging its members and members of the public to support the Bloc Québécois incumbent.
Maria Fitzpatrick, regional executive vice-president for the national capital region, said a panel reviews party platforms and the record of candidates. She said PSAC is not endorsing the party, but the candidate.
"Since he was elected, he has supported public services in the region," she said.
While Fitzpatrick acknowledged not all members are happy about the endorsement decision, she said Nadeau is worthy of the backing because he tabled an anti-strikebreakers bill that came close to passing and has staunchly supported a more equitable allocation of federal jobs on both sides of the river.
But Gearey, a Montreal native and former journalist who has lived in the Ottawa-Gatineau area for a decade, said she was motivated to run for office because the area has been under-represented in Parliament.
"I moved to Gatineau about 18 months ago and felt that the region was very neglected," she said. "A huge part of that is because we have the Bloc in power for the last five years, and they don't have any power to do anything. I have three small children and I wanted better for the region."
The PSAC release calls the Liberal and NDP candidates "quality," but criticized the Conservative platform that includes $11 billion in cuts in government spending because it would require "major cutbacks" to public services.
Gearey rejects that claim, and pondered what life might be like if Nadeau and his party got their wish to separate from Canada.
"If we could just look hypothetically what could happen if we supported this party, what could happen if the country was torn apart: Would those people even have jobs after the country was torn apart – or would federal public servants have to cross a border every morning to get to work in Ontario? Would we need to get work visas? It just doesn't make any sense."
NDP candidate Francoise Boivin said she has worked hard to advance the interests of the public service and would fight to protect them agains Conservative cuts. While it's ultimately up to PSAC to pick who to endorse, she raised eyebrows over the endorsement of a separatist candidate.
"I find it a bit strange – I'll leave it at that," she said. "It's kind of bizarre that people working for the government of Canada would support (him), but it's their decision."
There are more than 6,000 PSAC members in Gatineau.
