Almost all Bauhaus classics today are luxury goods that not everyone can afford. Surprising, because it contradicts the genuine down-to-earth Bauhaus concept: a good and useful design for everyone. Our goal is to create a harmonious and affordable watch for everyone, with geometric shapes, aesthetic colors, convex glass, high-quality stainless steel and fine leather. The STERNGLAS timepiece was financed by the crowd-funding platform, KICKSTARTER. In October 2016, we collected just under € 16,500, clearly exceeding our target of € 10,000. We look forward to seeing you on our STERNGLAS trip!

According to Nathan Burkhardt of Opening Technologies, this church addressed their classroom security by adding shades for the vision lites, and changing the locks to office function with a turn-button. Because the kids and teachers were getting injured by the sharp turn-button design, they glued balls over them. I need a face-palm emoji.

Welcome to my world. The window shade idea stems from "school security experts" telling people for years that a piece of paper over a window will stop gunman. I'm not kidding. One of the biggest debates in a class I taught wasn't over training or concepts. It was an assistant superintendent, who had hired a school consultant to assess their buildings under a REMS grant, who had ended up purchasing paper window shades for every room "because is a gunman can't see in a room they will move on because they think it's empty". When I asked if every room was still occupied, and since the gunman was probably from the facility, had at minimum scouted it, and was probably trained by the school and observed the tactic wasn't it an indication that the room WAS occupied? She argued the point ad nauseam until the superintendent told her the paper wouldn't make a difference.

Air Louvers has developed a privacy screen that can be easily attached to existing vision lites with 3M Dual-lock, which also allows it to be removed if necessary. It's designed for schools, so very heavy duty, and has been UL listed for use on up to 60 Minute doors if installed on a metal vision lite. It's clean looking, easy to install and is great for blocking light for AV use in the room.

What kind of turnpiece on an office function locks met causes injury to students and teachers? So they glued balls over the turn piece as a solution, Wow!

I suppose one can smack the rubber ball with the heel of the hand and lock the door without ever turning the button, at least this is so on many locks, but I , too, want to know who makes a lock that causes injury in the act of being engaged. I think there must be some other reason, unspoken, doing this. Whatever the reason, they are nincompoops. This "system" requires prior knowledge to operate and is clearly out of compliance.

Honestly surprised that the balls are staying on. Most kids I know would just rip them off.

Mum has loaned us the money for the rings and honeymoon, as soon as she gets her statement we start paying her back (maily because the rings have been paid for in USD so we need the GBP amount, and the currency convertion charge, to know what we're paying her back).
The honeymoon is next!

In a world full of hair straighteners, finding the best one is a big challenge. You need to find the flat iron which suits your hair needs and your budget. Sometimes finding the perfect one can be a little exhausting. We also included it in the list of top 10 best hair straightener.

However what matters most is that you have the perfect hair straightener which lasts for years and is your partner in looking perfectly beautiful. The higher end models of flat irons are generally expensive but more durable and reliable. Although, if you have really tight budget, you can choose smartly by finding the straightener with versatile features.

Today we have our eyes set on the new HSI Professional Hair Straightener, let's see what it got.
This HIS professional hair straightener is one of the best that you can avail, it doesn't work like other low budget flat irons which can make your hair even more frizzy and lame. The frizz by the lower end hair straighteners is because the static electricity of the shaft moves along the hair as the plates come in touch with the hair. The HIS professional hair straightener is nothing like those hair straighteners because it makes the hair even smoother and seals all the moisture inside and uses the modern ion technology to provide shine in the hair.
This straightener is extremely steady in its functions and allows you to save a lot of time which you used to traditionally spend of straightening your hair. You must remember the times when all of your time used to be consumed by the heating up process of the straighteners. You can just plug this one and it heats up to the required temperature in no time.
Let's discuss the detailed features of this device.
Features of the HSI Professional Hair Straightener
The HSI professional flat iron has the following features:
- The plates start to heat up as soon as you provide the power.
- The one touch button gives you a temperature range of 450°F in just few seconds.

- It can provide you variety of styles within no time because of its efficient performance.
- It doesn't even have that odd burning smell which can be sensed during straightening, curling or styling of hair. The hair won't burn at the high temperature of 430°F.
- You can use it regularly and it still wouldn't dry out your hair like most other flat irons do. You don't have to worry about same problem with this product.
- It even covers your hair roots and makes sure that your hair is frizz free for a very long time.

1084 - A rare Christian Liverpool sauceboat with polychrome decoration c 1770.
- Description
Painted in bright polychrome enamels this sauceboat has a shape rarely seen in Christian wares, owing more to a shape of sauceboat more often seen at Lowestoft. 15 cms long.
There are two small chips on the rim and the deliberate crimp in the rim shape has resulted in a stress crack (c 2cms) on one side. Another stress crack to the lower handle terminal.
Illustrated in my book, British Porcelain Sauceboats of the 18th Century, Figure 321.

My wife has two friends, divorced recently, who have started this process. Neither have gone on dates yet but the disturbing thing is how many married men are on there, they recognised some and they were definitely not separated.
There were also clearly a number of out and out liars on there, pictures and profiles just not adding up. It's amazing how many Parisian men in their mid 20's are interested in women from the NE in their 50's!
It can work well, I do know some success stories, but you do have to be careful.

The cast of Top Hat took a twirl to Seaham Hall to recreate scenes from the hit musical.
Leading stars Alan Burkitt and Charlotte Gooch put on the Ritz in style with an afternoon tea served by John Conroy, who plays Bates the butler in the show, which is running at Sunderland Empire until July 4.
Alan who plays Jerry Travers, a role made famous by Fred Astaire in the film of the same name, said: "It's a lovely theatre here. I came to see White Christmas here and it's great to be on the stage this time, instead of sat in the audience."
Speaking about the award-winning musical's popularity, he said: "People expect a classic Hollywood musical, but it's so beautiful and funny, it has something for everyone. It's just grown and grown."
John Conroy plays the role of Bates, a role he's very familiar with having butlered professionally on and off for 40 years, for royalty and dignitaries, the most famous being the Duke of Kent, Margaret Thatcher and Neil Kinnock.
"I worked as a butler part-time and it's a skill that's come in very useful," he said. "I worked for banks and financial institutions in the city of London, as they were the only people who could afford such a service.
"Margaret Thatcher was invited to a Burns' Night evening. Although my politics are different, she was gracious and kind. The Duke of Kent was there too, and everyone was in a celebratory mood."
John says discretion is key to being a butler: "We would sign a secrecy document so we wouldn't discuss anything we had overheard. It's a discreet form of service, you waft in and out of rooms and attend to people's needs in a quiet way. The key is to not be too overly bombastic and to sense the atmosphere of the room."

As with all supplementation, consult your physician first (especially if you have a medical condition). Do not use if you are pregnant/lactating or under the age of 18. Remember that an adequate state of hydration must be maintained when using this product. Have at least 8-12 large glasses of water per day. Taking more than the recommended dose will not improve results and may cause adverse reactions. For best results an appropriate muscle gain eating plan and training programme should be followed. High intakes of free-form amino acids may cause gastric discomfort in sensitive individuals - if this prolongs, reduce dosage or discontinue. Do not exceed recommended daily intake. Nutritional supplements should not replace a varied diet. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

For the second time in recent months, ESPN's SC6 host Jemele Hill is under scrutiny for opinionated political tweets. Sunday night, Hill posted on Twitter, "Change happens when advertisers are impacted. If you feel strongly about (Jerry Jones') statement, boycott his advertisers." Hill went on to list a few Cowboys' sponsors, some of which are also ESPN sponsors.
John Ourand, of the Sports Business Journal, reported Jemele Hill would be suspended by ESPN for two weeks, sharing the following statement from the network:
Hill's tweets were a response to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones proclaiming he will bench any players who "disrespect the flag." Following President Trump calling NFL players a "son of a bitch," Jones took a knee with his entire team before the national anthem of the Cowboys Monday night game. Players insist they are not disrespecting the flag, or the military, but attempting to bring awareness to racial injustice. Jones's comments show NFL owners are eager to get the focus back on the game.
Last month, Hill, made strong statements regarding President Trump, calling him a "white supremacist" during a political debate with followers on Twitter. Many people called for ESPN to take action, including President Trump himself stating Hill should be fired. ESPN's political guidelines for employees states to "refrain from overt partisanship," and "avoid personal attacks and inflammatory rhetoric."
The network chose not to take public action regarding Hill's tweets last month, but they most likely felt pressure from their sponsors this time. ESPN did make it a point to call this a "second violation" in reference to Hill's statements from last month.
Jemele Hill's co-host Michael Smith will sit out Monday's broadcast of SC6. Smith is expected to return Tuesday, a potential substitute for Hill has not been announced.

I want to show you endless creative ways to get attention and stay in front of people and keep making yourself known. You must have lots of varied ways to continue to prospect the same people. There are many ways once you commit, but you have to get all in on it. I've said this a thousand times, but creativity follows commitment. If you're not finding yourself very creative right now, you have a commitment problem.
There is no protocol or etiquette for you to follow here—the only wrong thing for you to do is not follow up and quit prospecting. Here's how to have creative variety in your prospecting:
1.Your Power Base—Make a call to your power base. I'm talking about friends, family, customers, school mates, past employers, and past relations. Everyone has a power base. A guy who beat me up years ago is on that list. Just because he beat me up when I was 18 doesn't mean he won't buy a product from me 20 years later. Even enemies are part of my existing power base.
A power base is not something that stays one size. Throughout your life, it should have expanded bigger. I know people who have just 3 friends. You should have thousands of friends. Your power base will grow or cease to grow depending on how much attention you give it. Remember your power base has the word "power" in it—because it gives you power. You want to grow it and increase the quality of it as time goes on.
The place to start is with what you have.
Direct marketing companies and MLM's are unbelievably effective because they depend solely on using and utilizing people's power bases. Combine dedicated and relentless contact of power bases with lots of people, with great products, and you create a very profitable company during any economy. Mary Kay, Nu Skin, Herbalife—I can go on and on—are just a few examples of companies in which their entire model is based on one concept, power base.
When you activate your power base you're going to find people you've forgotten about that are qualified and interested in buying your product. Make a list of everyone you'd consider in your power base if you haven't already made the list. You need to put your list in a file or on a CRM, and then you need to make the calls. The purpose of the call is not to sell, but to reconnect, reenergize, and reactivate.
Your list can sit there ignored, but it's still sitting there. The fact that you aren't working that gold mine does not mean it's less valuable. I can go climb into the mine that you abandoned and pull gold out. Don't miss out on potential sales.
2.Service Customers—Customers who are currently getting serviced with your firm whether you sold them or not are a great opportunity. Most people see service customers only as service customers rather than how I see them—future prospects. The customer who comes in for a watch repair wanting a new band on it, many salespeople see them just as band buyers rather than a watch buyer. The customer who comes in for a watch repair is a watch buyer but nobody ever contacts them. Same thing for a guy in the tailoring department, he's a suit buyer.
Businesses don't put much emphasis on service customers because they are too dependent on mass advertising and marketing. Prospecting got lost as a priority when we got into the information age with TV and telecommunications. For me, service customers are a great source of new contacts. All problems are opportunities to solve problems. Money follows solutions. Get a copy of every service or repair order for your company. You want to stay in contact with your customer through service. Get out of obscurity, get attention, be of service, and make a contact.
3.Reactivating Sold Customers—Regardless if you haven't spoken to John who you sold to 9 months ago, you can reactivate by using a call, a letter, an email, a text, a video, or a personal visit. If you can't call the people who have paid you, you're in trouble. You're making life hard by not following people back up. Make at least 10 calls each day to past customers, whether they bought 3 weeks ago, 6 months ago, or 3 years ago. The purpose of this call is not to get out of obscurity, the purpose is to get them thinking about you again.
Your two problems are obscurity and people not thinking about you. People may know you but have forgotten about you. This is why you need to remind people you're there and you are here to serve still. Make sure you update during the call all information with them, Twitter, Facebook, what they are doing and where they are in the buying cycle—get any useful information you can get. Then you want to set up a personal visit and get referrals if possible.
Handle any problems that come up in the call as an opportunity. Be sure and tell the client when the next time is you'll be contacting them—always commit to another call. Knowledge is power, so get as much data as you can in this call.
4.Converting the Unsold—Go through all the people you've worked with and not sold. The fact that you didn't close them doesn't mean you give up on them. Old is still gold, just because you left the gold mine doesn't mean it's not still there. Maybe 6 months ago they couldn't afford it, they weren't quite ready, or had to delay purchasing for some other thing they were doing.
There are a lot of things you want to leave in the past, but don't leave the unsold. Persist and don't give up too early. It might take 5 calls to close someone and you gave up after 3.
I've just given you 4 different ways you can begin prospecting today: calling on the unsold, the sold, service customers, and your power base. Commit to prospecting today and you'll begin to increase your income.

Every website owner is looking to have a high number of online visitors which translates to a higher income especially if you serve advertisements on your pages. Furthermore, it helps to improve download numbers for your eBook, if you have any. In order to achieve this, you need to incorporate search engine optimization techniques in your website.
Not only will they help you to dominate Google search engine especially when it comes to ranking but they will improve your website visibility attracting online visitors from around the world. It is important to know that no matter how beautiful your WebPages are, how responsive your images are and how relevant your content is, your efforts will be fruitless if online visitors do not know that your website exists.
It is common to make the simple mistake that once you host your website online, visitors will automatically start trooping to your pages. Well, things do not happen this way. Want to learn how you can dominate Google search engine ranking? Here are search engine optimization tips to help you attract more online visitors.
5 Tips To Dominate Google Search Engine Ranking
- Select an appealing niche
Select an appealing niche
It is important to know that not every published content is attractive to the reader. Before you begin commissioning the building of your website, you need to select an appealing niche. This is where your research skills come in handy. Ask yourself, what is it people are talking about today? How appealing and deep is the topic? The reason for asking yourself this is because the selected topic should be of interest to online readers. For example selecting a niche like health is too broad but the niche is attractive to readers now and in the future. To ensure that you attract the right visitors, you need to specify your niche. For example weight loss, fat burning, working out and body building among others. Talking about this on your website will allow you to attract readers who are searching for information based on the selected topic. Once you have chosen the specific niche you want to concentrate on, you can develop titles and content.
- Incorporate keywords
Now that you have selected the niche you want to concentrate on, the next step is making your content searchable by online users. This is where keywords play a crucial part. Keywords are important when it comes to digital marketing and SEO plus they are among the most important ranking factors used by search engines like Google and Bing. As the keys to what online visitors want, it is important to select keywords that are relevant. A good example of a keyword is plumber New York. Using this in a search engine will reveal all websites providing plumbing services in New York City. As a website owner, your website will be crawled by search engine bots immediately you submit a site map. You don't want to be in the second, third and other pages. You want to be on the first page. This why incorporating keywords in your content will be the first step towards being ranked on the first page. It is wise to have the main keyword and the LSI words, for example, New York plumber. The use of both will increase chances of online visitors finding your website with ease. You can use online keywords tools like Google Adwords keyword planner among others.
- Develop relevant content
Content is what online readers are looking for. This is why website owners are advised never to write for search engines but to write for readers. Yes, search engine owners will say that a keyword needs to be used a number of times only. What many people forget is that use of a keyword unnaturally makes the content to be unreadable. This is why it is advisable to incorporate LSI words in your content. When developing your content, your theme should be of interest to readers. While keywords are great, they should act as a guide for your content. You don't have to write about them. Make sure that at the end of writing the content, your work is informative and relevant with traces of fun in it.
Publish your content when the topic is still trending. Do not wait for another date to publish it as the readers will be interested in something else. In your title, use the main keyword once plus you need to add a Meta description for your content. This should be around 20 words. Don't forget, your content should be error free too.
- Check your site's health
Start by checking your website keyword rank. There are online tools that can help you with this. One of them is Serps.com. It will help you to assess your website rank as well as that of your competitors. This information tells you what you need to change to attain first-page SEO ranking. Next, you need to check your page speed. This is one of the most important ranking factors used by search engines. There are free web tools to help you know your page load times. Google PageSpeed insights, Pingdom website speed test, and WebpPageTest are but a few of them. Using Google PageSpeed will help you resolve problems slowing your website down. Finally, you need to know the health of your website. Do you want to know if your website has been banned by Google? Use PixelGroove's Google penalty checker tool. All you have to do is add your domain name and click on check. The results will tell you about the health of your website..
- Make your website to be responsive
Today, search engines insist on websites becoming multiple devices friendly. What does this mean? Your website should offer the best user experience to customers using smart devices and computers. Running two websites – one for computers and another for mobile devices is too expensive. Thanks to a smart responsive development tool, website owners can convert their websites into being responsive. This will allow the website to transform itself according to the device resolution providing a better user experience. This will improve your website's SEO and search engine ranking allowing you to attract more visitors to your website.

On March 8, 2015, I attended a Sheepdog Herding Clinic with my wife Diane and our "red & white" Border Collie Rob. You would think that I would have been delighted to be shooting photos of the dogs in the clinic on a sunny day, but in fact, Border Collies are typically black and white. Many of the dogs at the clinic were either traditional black and white, or were tri-colors (black, white, and tan), and 3 of the dogs were red & whites (more brown and white).
Why wasn't I delighted with the totally sunny day? You may have already guessed - bright sun increases the challenge of capturing images of high-contrast subjects - like black and white dogs. On cloudy days, there is less dynamic range (less difference in the brightness of the whites and blacks) - and so the images can readily be captured by modern digital sensors. On sunny days, this becomes much harder, and nailing the exposure, especially to avoid "burning out" the whites, becomes essential to capturing good shots.
Shooting on a completely sunny day required a fair amount of postprocessing, applying shadow and highlight adjustments to capture the full dynamic range, and raising the saturation a bit to compensate for the reflected light - a bigger problem on sunny days than on days when foliage is wet.
All in all, despite the photographic challenge, I honestly loved the sun, and it was amazing to watch these smart, agile dogs literally fly through the air in their herding routine. Amazing sight to see. In the end, I think I ended up with some pretty nice photos!
Let me know what you think of the "Border Collie Clinic" photo series.

A day out with friends
With the new chicks now hatched, we have a slightly different routine first thing - I take a mug of tea and let Nutmeg and chicks out to roam and feed, keeping an eye on Cats, Buzzards etc, and then I feed then and shut them in and let out all the other hens.
After we had done this and the other morning jobs we all set off in Maria's car towards Newent, first stop was to see Kempley Church
which is a delightful Norman church, displaying one of the most outstandingly complete and well preserved sets of medieval wall paintings in England, dating from the 12th and 14th centuries.
After we had admired the wall paintings we walked around the churchyard and enjoyed the quiet valley, which in spring is covered in wild daffodils and is part of the Poets Way and the Dymock Poets Walk
Stopping at a local garden centre to have coffee and cake (and feed the Koi Carp in the huge lake!) we then went on towards Newent, stopping off to walk along the restored section of canal at Oxenhall, which is in the care of the Herefordshire and Gloustershire Canal Trust
Finally, in Newent, we did a little shopping, had a wander around and ate an excellent lunch:)

When Shawn Bollinger took over as coach of the Grant County Middle School boys' soccer team, he didn't know what to expect.
"Overall, the season was a challenge from the beginning," Bollinger said. "A lot of the players had played soccer before, but most of them weren't taught the proper concepts of soccer. We had to come up with new ideas to teach the concepts to the children so they could play the game of soccer like it should be."
When I started this column last basketball season, I thought long and hard about a name. I came up with Cat Attack that seemed ferocious and fitting for our beloved Wildcats that would be feasting on the competition all season long. Uhh, Lexington we had a problem. A fitting title for last year would have been Cats attacked, beaten, and ran over by a semi.
Police have charged a Crittenden man with sodomy, sexual abuse and criminal coercion after teachers heard his two male students talking about what he had allegedly done to them.
Daniel Newman, 52, was arrested on a charge of sodomy, a class A felony, sexual abuse first degree, a class C felony and two counts of criminal coercion, a class A misdemeanor on May 15.
Grant County Sheriff Chuck Dills said he received a call from teachers after they overheard students talking about what happened to them at a neighbor's apartment.
Gary and Pam Hutchinson of Dry Ridge would like to announce the marriage of their daughter, Krystal Kay Hutchinson to Bradley Gerald Borggren, son of Jerry and Helen Borggren of Little Rock, Ark.
The wedding took place April 4, 2009 on Tybee Island in Georgia. A reception is being planned from 2 to 5 p.m. May 23 at the Grant County Farm Bureau in Williamstown.
The bride is a 2000 graduate from Grant County High School and a 2004 graduate from Campbellsville University. She has recently served as a journeymen missionary in Mali, West Africa.
The Grant County softball team ended their regular season with seven straight wins and entered the postseason in a rhythm.
The rhythm was interrupted with an 11-1 loss to Walton-Verona on May 19 in the first round of the district tournament.
On May 31, Woodrow and Viola Cook will be celebrating 63 years of marriage. They were married in 1946.
They have three children; daughters, Shirley Wilson and Brenda Fornash, both of Dry Ridge and son, James Kenneth Cook of Pinellas Park, Fla. They have six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Cards and letters are welcome to help them celebrate. No gifts, please. Send cards to 107 Falmouth Street, Williamstown, Ky. 41097.
Every year, the U.S. Postal Service and Bass Pro Shops sponsor the National Wildlife Service's Junior Duck Stamp Contest. It is an opportunity for all students, from kindergarten to 12 grade, to design a postage stamp featuring a duck, swan, or goose in the hopes of being chosen as the next collectible federal Junior Duck Stamp. Not only do students get to practice their artistic skills, but they also learn about wetlands, waterfowl and land conservation.
With momentum following their big win over Walton-Verona, Grant County was looking forward to making some noise in the region tournament.
Unfortunately, the Braves came away with a 15-5 loss to Shelby County in six innings on May 25.
"Obviously, I'm disappointed, but the fact of the matter is that Shelby County hit the ball and put the ball in play," Hollingsworth said. "They played a heck of a ball game and everyone in their lineup hit."
Entering this season, the Grant County baseball team knew they would rely on young talent following the loss of five seniors from last year's district championship team, but the Braves also knew they still had the talent to compete for the district title.
The Braves proved as much with a 3-2 win over Simon Kenton on May 19 and a dominant 7-1 win over Walton-Verona on May 21 for the 32nd district championship.

MANAUS, Brazil — The sprawling, air-conditioned hotel at the edge of the Amazon forest teemed with ideas for saving the world's biggest tropical wilderness. It was a flourishing ecosystem of ideas, with the exuberance of a triple-canopy jungle, some ideas like towering trees, others like dense undergrowth and entwining vines.
They sprouted from the mouths of conservationists, researchers, government technicians and officials; they blossomed from photocopied treatises, slide projectors and posters; they germinated on note pads and paper napkins. The lush proliferation of ideas left no doubt that an international conference called "Forest 90" was a fertile theoretical environment.
A sampling:
Dirigibles will float over the wilderness, lowering in loggers to cut mature hardwood trees with as little damage to the forest as possible. New trees will be planted to replace the harvested ones, which will be hoisted into the sky and carried to nearby rivers, then floated to distant sawmills. No more logging roads slicing destructively through the fragile flora and fauna.
Forest dwellers will not only tap rubber and gather Brazil nuts, as they do today, but also will collect foods, medicinal plants, gums, fibers, dyes, oils and other products for marketing in Brazil and abroad. Useful species will be reseeded. In riverside settlements, processing plants and cottage industries will turn forest products into finished goods, providing needed jobs.

Nev. ambulance struck by BB gun round
RENO, Nev. — Reno police are on the hunt for possible suspects after an ambulance that was transporting a patient was struck by a round from a BB gun Wednesday.
Medics were in the back of the vehicle tending to the patient when they said they heard a "pop" before the back window of the ambulance shattered, according to KTVN.
"At this time it does appear that a BB gun was used to break that window," Sergeant Scott Shaw with the Reno Police Department said.
After the incident, medics evacuated the area with the patient and drove to a nearby parking lot to wait for help. No one was injured.
Police said they were unable to find any suspects in the area.

Drop Your Stones
Read Exodus 16:1 through 18:27
Church attendance had risen. Spirits were high, the mood upbeat, complaints nonexistent. Everything appeared fine until the building fund ran out of money. Then the grumbling started: "Maybe we shouldn't have started this building project. Where did all the money go? Besides, wasn't it the pastor's idea?"
The young pastor felt stunned by all the questions. He adjourned the business meeting for a short recess. Some church members milled around the lobby; a few knelt at their pews. The discouraged pastor entered his office to gather some paperwork, but what he really needed was direction. Closing the door, he dropped to his knees in heartfelt prayer.
Moses faced a similar dilemma when the water supply ran out on the way to the Promised Land. "Then Moses cried out to the LORD, 'What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me'" (Exodus 17:4).
When situations turn dire, we should pause for a moment and seek God. He has the solution for every predicament: Some require wisdom; others need a divine miracle. Either way, the best course of action is prayer, not throwing stones.
Prayer Suggestion: Facing problems? Cry out to the Lord with all your heart. God always has the answer.
Quicklook: Exodus 17:1–7
—Charles Earl Harrel
Pray that God would help you be faithful in sharing His love with others.

Day Of Dead
Originally uploaded by Yardsale.
November 2nd is the actual "Dia de los Muertos"
Two important things to know about the Mexican Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) are:
1. It is a holiday with a complex history, and therefore its observance varies quite a bit by region and by degree of urbanization.
2. It is not a morbid occasion, but rather a festive time.
We will have a Best-in-Theme contest and awards
Do a little investigating about this holiday.

i love gil + attica. they were one of the first weddings i booked upon moving to new york. + they're wedding day was a perfect example of less is more. it was simple... but so elegant + so classy. + it was the first of two weddings... the second of which they are probably celebrating right about now on a beach in Bali. they got married in the rooftop garden terrace of the gramercy park hotel. surrounded by close friends + family, + followed by a family styled luncheon. when two people are really perfect for each other, you can feel it + it never fails to amaze me that this is the reason that people should have weddings. the props + parties + planning + details are all part of it too... but sometimes it's nice to get back to the simple fact that two people are committing to each other, because they deeply love the other, + want to say so publicly. + gil + attica's day was all about just that.
they incorporated a ancient african ritual into their ceremony known as "jumping the broom". the "jumping the broom" is a ceremony in which the bride and groom, either at the ceremony or at the reception, signify their entrance into a new life and their creation of a new family by symbolically "sweeping away" their former single lives, former problems and concerns, + jumping over the broom to enter upon a new adventure as wife + husband.

By Terry Bunn
A roofing contractor who died after falling off the roof of a two-story house, a solid waste collector who was fatally hit by a solid waste collection vehicle, a tree trimmer who was struck by a boom on his truck and died: these are a few of the 39 workers who have died so far this year from injuries on the job in Kentucky.
The total number of injuries is much greater. In 2008, 59,800 workers received non-fatal injuries at work in Kentucky.
A Kentucky occupational injury prevention consortium was established in 2006 to foster collaborations and share resources throughout the state to improve worker safety and health.
The consortium discovered that a large number of small companies in Kentucky lack worker safety programs. To address this need, the consortium developed a worker safety program presentation, including true stories and statistics, geared to new and established small business owners. The presentation contains information on workers' compensation, the basic elements and implementation of a worker safety plan, and how workers' compensation premiums are affected by the presence and quality of a worker safety plan.
The Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center at the University of Kentucky, the Kentucky Department for Public Health, the Department of Workers' Claims, and the Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Program, in collaboration with the consortium, are offering a series of panel presentations, geared toward small businesses, on the value of establishing a worker safety program within companies. The panel presentations include the worker safety program presentation developed by KIPRC and the consortium, and presentations by the Department for Workers' Claims and by Kentucky OSHA.
The worker safety presentations are offered free to the public and the next set of panel presentations will be on Aug. 18 in Pikeville at Pikeville College Booth Auditorium, 147 Sycamore Street, from 8:30 to noon.
A link to the KIPRC and consortium worker safety presentation is available at:

My family and I enjoyed the house very much.

The house is really nice and well kept. It is not to far (10 minute drive) from everything Vegas has to offer. My group was really pleased with this rental.
Only one complaint: the pool could've been freshened up prior to our arrival. Looked like it hadn't been cleaned out for a week or so.
It was a great stay, close to the supermarkets and not far from the strip. Hot tub and pool were great, as well as the pool table. Big garage, and the house was big enough for our entire party of guests.

Commercial Renovations, Additions & Alterations
Recently Capital Builders had the opportunity to complete a number of small commercial renovations, additions and alterations.
We have enjoyed completing these works and overcoming the many special challenges, mostly regulatory, they presented.
If you have a small commercial property and want to add value, talk to the team at Capital building. We draw on clever design solutions to make the most of small spaces and limited budgets. Extending your commercial premises can double the value of your lettable area, usually at a very affordable price.
- A 2 story addition to a commercial premises in Preston.
- A second Story addition and renovation in Reservoir
- A ground floor with basement extension in North Balwyn
- The Napier Hotel in Fitzroy
- A Kitchen extension and complete renovation at the Napier Hotel in Fitzroy
The Napier Hotel is a very successful Pub rating 92% on Urban Spoon for reasonably priced, quality cuisine. If you have ever eaten there you would no doubt agree. Not only is the food excellent and affordable, so are the beers, wine and drinks and there is a great selection. The other thing about the Napier is that it's the old Fitzroy Footy Club Pub, oozing with old-fashioned Aussie character and objects of interest. In short, it entertains and stimulates all the senses. To round the whole thing off, the staff are friendly and efficient.
A victim of their own success, the Napier kitchen was bursting at the seams trying to push out 160 odd meals a night with a cramped and outdated Kitchen.
When owner Guy Lawson asked us to demolish and rebuild his Kitchen, we thought no worries. When Guy, however, explained to us it had to be done in 4 weeks we certainly were worried as we realised, even though we could take on such a challenge, there would be no room for error or scheduling mishaps; if we were to make this build successful and on time.
Cut a long story short Capital completed the job on time. It was great that Guy had an extra week to renew the toilets and paint and plaster inside. The result is something we at Capital are as proud of as the owner. Come and see you won't be disappointed.

Our destination of the night is the Inn & Spa Cedar Falls. We are truly famished from another exciting outdoor activity loaded day so we can not wait to see what super star Chef Anthony Schulz has on the menu.
The Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls is a premiere destination for many traveling to the Hocking Hills Area. In fact the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls resides in the heart of nature and bordering 3 sides of Hocking Hills State Park.
Perhaps the best news is that if you have food allergies you can certainly dine here as the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls Dining is very accommodating to those with food allergies. In addition to having a lovely hosted meal this evening, we were treated to a lovely self-guided tour of the property so we could become more acquainted with this quaint and picturesque setting.
Lavishly live life out loud and travel to a place where natural beauty is complemented by unique dining experiences and lovely lodging options.
Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls
Dining – Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls
Our true experience at the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls was a dining occasion where my youngest son who is plagued with severe and life-threatening food allergies could dine. For my other son and myself, we were about to experience 5-star dining in a very lovely Inn.

A Quiet New Year
Coming home after the long ride home from Memaw and Pappy's left us quite tired. Too tired to drive up to Nene's for their annual New Years party.Instead we enjoyed a quiet family New Years at home. We played a game of Apples to Apples Jr and a few rounds of Wii Bowling up until about 11:50. I got our New Years goodies ready and then before we knew it it was 2009!! We dined at midnight in the living room on a meal of shrimp,pepperoni rolls,hot atrichoke dip and brownies! We also made some yummy mint Shirley Temples.

Envy having issues with their roster and being jet lagged coming into these games is obviously not the best way to prepare for some big games against a French rival but that is their reality. LDLC have been looking pretty up and down to be honest. They had a good win against SS before beating dignitas and losing poorly to HR. The maps today are Cache and Nuke and honestly I can see LDLC taking either of these maps. Looking at the odds for them at the moment, over 2.5 odds a map is pretty nuts when Envy are not really in the right place right now. I do think Envy should win these, but at these odds, a REALLY LOW bet on LDLC makes a lot of sense for both maps.

Storage units are facilities that are offered for short term or long term space renting to individuals or business entities where they are able safely store their property at a set fee. The concept of storage units across the world has received great popularity as people seek to decongest their homes and offices. These units offer a perfect place to store sensitive items with a guarantee of maximum security. With the growing demand for storage units, individuals or corporate entities have to consider several factors to ensure that they enjoy maximum benefits of the rented space. The following are best tips to consider when choosing the appropriate storage unit.
Size of the unit
One size does not fit all. Therefore, the choice of a storage unit should put into consideration the size of the items being stored and allow more space for any likely future use. By closely taking inventory of items to be stored, one will be able to determine the size required without unnecessarily taking up large units which will incur unreasonably high costs or a smaller unit that will compromise the quality of items stored. A good fit should meet the particular needs of the consumer to ensure that the space provided either large or small gives sufficient room and is easily customizable to meet the customer's needs.
Location of the storage facility
The choice of a storage unit should put into consideration its location. The distance to be covered to the storage unit should be easily accessible to the consumer ensuring that the proximity to residential or business facilities is convenient. Moreover, this will also factor in the security of the facility to ensure that the properties stored therein are under maximum security and breach is experienced. Foolproof access to these facilities is also a point to consider with gate access being computerized and limited to members only. The availability of support amenities in the location should also influence the choice of the storage facilities and also enable a 24 hours access to the members.
Efficient Customer service
Super customer care interactions offered by various storage units distinguishes one brand from another. World class services offered to consumers of the units should be conducted in a friendly, thorough and efficient manner. The access of units through customer care call services or email platforms should be responsive and interactive. The management of the facilities should also facilitate smooth interactions and quick resolutions of problems. Ensuring that the facilities are professionally cleaned also factors in as an advantage to the consumer.

Take Them A Mealby Marilyn Miller
The theme for Women's Ministry this year is "Hospitality." This month we are focusing on the act of taking a meal to someone in need as an example of love, service and, of course, hospitality.
Throughout the years, there have been many times that my family has been blessed by people who provided meals for us. We are still thankful to every person who cared for us in this way. It was always a blessing. Sometimes the meals were unexpected but ended up being delivered at the perfect time to meet our needs for that day. Other times, the nutrition we received from the meal felt like a balm to our tired souls as we fought the fight and endured the trial.
Hospitality was something we recently looked at in the Monday night study of 1st Peter which recently wrapped up. It was timely to consider the idea of hospitality especially as Thanksgiving draws near. In 1 Peter 4:9, Peter says,
Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.
What's with the "without grumbling" part. Why did he add that?
Jen Wilkin, the author of the study, points out that if we are honest, hospitality can be both expensive and inconvenient. It takes time and effort to prepare extra food and that impacts both our wallet and our time. She believes, however, that we may be confusing hospitality with entertaining.
Here is an excerpt from a blog post she wrote on this subject:
Entertaining involves setting the perfect tablescape after an exhaustive search on Pinterest. It chooses a menu that will impress and then frets its way through each stage of preparation. It requires every throw pillow to be in place, every cobweb to be eradicated, every child to be neat and orderly. It plans extra time to don the perfect outfit before the first guest touches the doorbell on the seasonally decorated doorstep. And should any element of the plan fall short, entertaining perceives the entire evening to have been tainted. Entertaining focuses attention on self.
Hospitality involves setting a table that makes everyone feel comfortable. It chooses a menu that allows face time with guests instead of being chained to the cooktop. It picks up the house to make things pleasant but doesn't feel the need to conceal evidences of everyday life. It sometimes sits down to dinner with flour in its hair. It allows the gathering to be shaped by the quality of the conversation rather than the cuisine. Hospitality shows interest in the thoughts, feelings, pursuits and preferences of its guests. It is good at asking questions and listening intently to answers. Hospitality focuses attention on others.
- Entertaining is always thinking about the next course. Hospitality burns the rolls because it was listening to a story.
- Entertaining obsesses over what went wrong. Hospitality savors what was shared.
- Entertaining, exhausted, says, "It was nothing, really!" Hospitality thinks it was nothing. Really.
- Entertaining seeks to impress. Hospitality seeks to bless.
But the two practices can look so similar. Two people can set the same beautiful tablescape and serve the same gourmet meal—one with a motive to impress, the other with a motive to bless. How can we know the difference? Only the second of the two would invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind to pull up a chair and sip from the stemware. Our motives are revealed not just in how we set our tables but in who we invite to join us at the feast. Entertaining invites those whom it will enjoy. Hospitality takes all comers.
She's right.
Hospitality might cause us to grumble. After all, it does takes a little bit of work and effort to serve others.
But how can we grumble when we remember how blessed we are? WE are the spiritually poor, crippled, lame, and blind beggars who are invited to a feast beyond belief.
Could it be that Peter remembered the event recorded in John 13 when he wrote to his readers about showing hospitality? Jesus was the perfect example of how to serve others.
John 13:4 tells us that Jesus put aside his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist. He poured water into a basin and began washing the disciples' feet. Peter was an eyewitness to this event. He saw how Jesus placed himself lower than the disciples to serve them by washing their feet.
Not only did Jesus wash the disciples' feet, He humbled Himself and laid down His life for all of us so we could be served a feast of forgiveness.
As Thanksgiving draws near, I am once again humbled and so very grateful to the body of believers who put in the extra work and effort to bless my family in our time of need. It is my prayer that, in turn, I would have eyes to see those in need and emulate Jesus to show them the encouragement that has been shown to me.
Who do you know who needs someone to see them and provide for their need? May Jesus be our example of how to humble ourselves for the needs of others.
