How to create a Church WordPress Web Site

It is responsive so it looks good on mobile device and tablets. I have already posted on the three easy steps it take to create a site and the questions you should ask if you church is considering a new site. I thought I would start a new series on some of

Pre-Marital Counseling / Coaching: Assessment Tests
I am doing pre-marital coaching (can't call it counseling in my state unless you are a professional counselor) for a few couples in my church.

Prepare Enrich and Focus seem to the be the ones that come most highly r

Money Saver: Phone Bill
4 MONTH UPDATE: I have been using Anveo.com for the past 6 months. Overall, I have been somewhat satisfied by the service. The phone answering and fax system works great.

Banner Tip: Simple design banner hanger
At my church, we have found the banners are a great cheap way to promote sermon series and and special events (like Christmas and Easter services). They are the third most popular way people find us (personal invite and internet search are the top two). Since we worship in a school, we aren't able to put banners up during the week. Thankfully, local land / business owners have given up permission to hang b

Both are still relatively new in the industry and both are also very talented. Parineeti Chopra and Sonakshi Sinha were vying for the role in Bollywood's 'Thuppakki' (2012) remake opposite Akshay Kumar and, on that occasion, the latter won. However, it seems that the two will be going head to head again for female lead in 'Milan Talkies'.
The role will see them star opposite Imran Khan and step into the shoes of Priyanka Chopra who wasn't able to take it due to a packed 2013 diary. Sinha is also co-starring with Khan in 'Once Upon A Time in Mumbai 2' in what will be a fresh jodi. Chopra, however, would be seen with Khan for the first time if she lands the part.
Incidentally, 'Milan Talkies' would have seen Khan and Priyanka share screen space for the first time too. It remains to be seen which actress bags the role.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is considering a proposal to eliminate hundreds of thousands of green cards issued years ago without expiration dates, a move that would help the agency track down individuals who have committed crimes and might be eligible for deportation.
By requiring immigrants to reapply for new cards, the federal agency would be able to update their personal information, conduct background checks and electronically store fingerprints and photographs.
Authorities estimate there are 750,000 such green cards in circulation, some of which are nearly 30 years old. They were issued between 1979 and 1989.
Newer cards, which expire after 10 years, are equipped with technology that makes them less susceptible to fraud, immigration services spokeswoman Sharon Rummery said. For example, the new cards feature miniature images of all the U.S. presidents, she said.
"There is, of course, a security aspect to it," she said. "It's harder to counterfeit the newer green cards."
Groups that favor more controls on immigration said the change is necessary for national security. The new cards provide "at least a speed bump along the road" for counterfeiters, said Rick Oltman, spokesman for Californians for Population Stabilization.
"With freedom comes responsibility," Oltman said. "It doesn't seem to be too onerous a thing to require them to get new green cards that provide greater security and give us all greater peace of mind."
But some immigration attorneys and advocates said the proposal is just another way to round up legal permanent residents with criminal records. Under the law, green card holders who have committed certain crimes are eligible for deportation.
"They don't have the manpower to find these people," Los Angeles immigration attorney Carl Shusterman said. "This makes it kind of easy. The people will have to come to them. ... A lot of people will be put into deportation proceedings."

Qatar went from the world's richest country per capita to an existential crisis in 24 hours this week. And the tiny gas-exporting giant is faced with making decisions quickly or be overwhelmed by geopolitical realities. This is why the Qatari foreign minister is set to meet with the top Russian diplomat, Sergei Lavrov, on Saturday.
The question at this point is whether Qatar has that much time?
Qatar, along with Saudi Arabia, has been one of the biggest sponsors of radical terrorism in the world. Syria was their latest major project. Destroying Syria's Ba'athist government was on the agenda for so many players in the region that it was only a matter of time before such a project got off the ground.
But, that project has failed thanks to skillful military and diplomatic interventions by both Russia and Iran. Qatar realized this after Donald Trump won the presidency and immediately moved to patch things up with Russia.
Russian Roulette
This is why the Qatar Investment Authority, the Qatari sovereign wealth fund, put up $2.6 billion to buy a stake in Russian state oil company, Rosneft. At the time, this news rang odd. Now, however, it makes perfect sense.
Qatar could see the writing on the wall in Syria and began charting an independent course in the post-ISIS world. December saw the siege of Aleppo end, a battle that could only have ended if logistical support of the rebels holed up in the eastern half of the city had been cut off.
When Donald Trump announced to the entire Arab world that for them to have U.S. support going forward they would need to lay down their backing terrorism as a means of achieving political and economic goals.
Those days were over.
The Saudis are the leaders here. And it is obvious that Qatar is the scapegoat to be sacrificed to forge a brave new, Arab world.
Both the Saudis and Qataris have been cozying up to Russia. But, the Saudis have always left empty-handed. And Qatar had to buy access. Both had to agree to ending their support of terrorism, but the Saudis want Qatar to repudiate Iran completely and Qatar won't do that.
Moreover, Qatar's dominance in the gas trade extends over its Gulf Cooperation Council peers, as outlined in a great article at Zerohedge on Tuesday.
It's the Petrodollar, Stupid
So, considering this the Saudis have issued ultimatums to Qatar to stop backing the Muslim Brotherhood and turn its back on Iran or face annihilation. The GCC members embargoed any ships coming and going from Qatar. The problem is the Saudi military is the best-equipped bunch of incompetents in the region. And no amount of Trump dealing will improve that this week.
Which brings us to why Turkey is now moving to defend Qatar with troops and food shipments. As I pointed out in my last article, nearly half of Qatar's food crosses the Saudi-Qatari border. Don't think this move doesn't have Putin's approval. He was the first person Turkish President Erdogan called.
The next morning the Turkish parliament fast-tracks a bill to reinforce Turkey's base in Qatar.
Iran has pledged to keep its ports open to Qatar in open defiance of the Saudis, especially after accusing them of the attack on the Iranian Parliament and tomb of Ayatollah Khomeini on Monday.
Things are accelerating rapidly. This whole thing has the stink of the U.S. deep state all over it. I'm unconvinced Trump has much, if any, say in this. But, I can't rule it out either.
Because, at the heart of this sits the petrodollar. Qatar recently approved a Yuan-clearing center in Doha. Do you think this is for clearing that huge Qatari/Chinese sand for cheap LED flashlight trade?
Or do you think it's for LNG?
So much of Trump's domestic policy depends on defending the petrodollar system for as long as possible. And allowing Qatari LNG to settle in other currencies is a red line for U.S. financial interests.
But, that said, I don't see the U.S. using its troops there to influence a Turkish defense of a Saudi invasion. Instead it'll be Game of Thrones time inside the royal palace.
The Next Moves
When you issue ultimatums like the Saudis have you either go through with them or get called. The master in calling bluffs is Putin. But, he wants what Trump says he wants, an end to Arab infighting over oil and gas market share that funds chaos and jihadists.
From my perspective, it looks like Qatar has stopped backing al-Qaeda in Syria (Jabhat al-Nusra) and the Saudis have stopped backing ISIS. The next step is for Qatar to end its relationship with Hamas. That will make both Trump and Putin happy.
Nothing will make the Saudis happy short of claiming Qatar's gas fields for itself and destroying Iran.
Russia and Iran are committed to not letting the U.S. get forward bases in soon-to-be negotiated Kurdistan with missile and aircraft pointed at both of them. But, that's what our regional policy looks like. Even though they are snakes, each day Qatar's leaders avoid regime change the odds rise of them surviving this latest geopolitical gambit.
Their political ambitions will be subordinated to that of Iran's and Russia's but their money will no longer buy death around the region.
And if they do, expect the Gulf Cooperation Council to implode as the knives wielded currently by the Saudis get turned back on them.

Sirloin steak is one of the most classic and delicious meats to enjoy. A top sirloin, taken from the upper portion of the cut, is tender, lean and lends itself well to being grilled.
There's nothing better than a good grilled steak, but I also love to try meat in various ways, especially when it's on sale, like this week at Brookshire's.
Steak bites are a good alternative. You don't mess with the integrity of the meat, but you get a different kind of meal out of a good cut of steak!
This would be delicious served with rice or over a baked potato with a huge green salad. This is based on a Pioneer Woman recipe; I just added the garlic because everything tastes better with garlic.
Steak Bites
Serves 4
1 lb top sirloin steak
1 tsp each sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
4 Tbs butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Trim off the excess fat from the meat, and then cut cubes about 1 inch in size.
Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high to high heat. As the pan heats, add about 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt and then get very brown before you add the meat. Add the garlic.
Place some of the meat in the pan in a single layer. It should sizzle loudly when it hits the pan. If it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough. Don't stir or disrupt the meat for 30 to 45 seconds. You want it to sizzle and brown on one side. Scoop as many steak bites as you can with your spatula and flip them over. Repeat until all the meat is turned. Cook for an additional 30 to 45 seconds, just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside.
Remove the meat to a clean plate. Add a little more butter to the pan and repeat the cooking process with the next batch just as before. Lastly, when all the meat is nicely browned and removed to the plate, pour all that browned/blackened butter all over the meat.

text: Twenty-five years after the publication of the state's first breeding bird atlas, The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Ohio brings our knowledge of the state's bird populations up to date and provides important new information. The Atlas documents the current distribution and changes in status for more than two hundred bird species in Ohio, including five new breeding species and five species not known to have bred in over fifty years. More than nine hundred dedicated birdwatchers completed surveys of birds across the state from 2006 to 2011. Additionally, trained staff collected new data on bird abundance using point-count surveys. These counts tabulated not only species but individual birds as well, enabling precise estimates of the actual statewide populations for many of the breeding species detected. In all, more than one million bird records were compiled by birders and professional researchers for the second Atlas, providing an unprecedented snapshot of the bird life of Ohio. Matthew Shumar will discuss how information generated from the Atlas is providing important insight into factors driving changes in bird populations including changes in land use and climate. Matthew Shumar is a wildlife biologist specializing in ornithology and landscape ecology, with specific interests in assessing anthropogenic effects on Neotropical migrants. He is also interested in engaging the public into citizen science efforts and exploring new opportunities for collaborative efforts between academia, agency professionals, and amateur ecologists. In addition to his role as Program Coordinator for the Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative, he is in charge of web communications for the Association of Field Ornithologists and is the co-editor of the recently published Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Ohio.

This is a very private room on the second floor back hall that is a spacious 300 square feet with a queen bed and sitting area. The specialty of this space is the premier bath of The Grove that has an additional 160 square feet of space. Accessories original to the house adorn the Brother's Room. This space is named for the Montgomery boys, Carl and John Kenly. Both of the Montgomery boys were veterans of World War 1: Carl, Army (Legal Corp) and John Kenly, Navy (pilot). Kenly became a pioneer aviator and flew a major reconnaissance mission in the South Pacific for Gen. Arnold in World War II.
Thanks so much for making our evening "away" so special. It was nice to be only miles from home and yet so far from our normal routine. What a treat! Your hospitality and friendship were just what we needed. Thanks again - we definitely hope to return.
Your service is outstanding! Your home deserves a spot on America's most beautiful places to stay. Thank you may often be used as an expression of political correctness; however, in this case, thank you is an expression of deepest heartfelt gratitude for your hospitality.
As first time b and b'ers, we had an excellent experience! From the warm hospitality we received when we walked up to the great historical info to the tasty breakfast, we were amazed at this awesome place and the wonderful owners.

John Pope and John Cooper lose murder legal challenges
Two men who were challenging their convictions for separate murders in Cardiff and Pembrokeshire have had their appeals dismissed.
John Pope, who was jailed for the 1996 Cardiff murder of Karen Skipper, had appealed against his conviction.
John Cooper, who was convicted of two 1980s double murders in Pembrokeshire, had applied to be able to appeal.
Mrs Skipper's three sisters spoke of their relief after the Court of Appeal dismissed both their cases.
Heidi Mathison, 45, said: "Our lives have been on hold for the past 16 years ever since Karen was killed.
"It has been an emotional rollercoaster but we can now get on with our lives, although we will never forget our loving sister.
"We have been told there will be no more appeals and now Karen can rest in peace."
Mrs Skipper's partially clothed body was found in the River Ely in Fairwater, Cardiff, in 1996 with her hands tied behind her back.
Her former husband Phillip stood trial for her murder in 1997, but was cleared. He died of cancer in 2004, aged 48.
Pope was later convicted of the murder but his conviction was quashed in 2009 by the Court of Appeal. He was found guilty after a retrial two years later at Newport Crown Court.
'Close encounter'
The court heard that the murder investigation was reopened with Pope as the suspect after improvements in forensic science.
One doubt at Mr Skipper's trial was a blood stain found on the lining of of Mrs Skipper's pocket, the jury was told. The blood stain's DNA did not match either her or her husband.
In 2006, Pope gave a sample of DNA after he was arrested for another offence. In 2007, a review of unsolved cases found that sample matched the DNA on the blood stain.
Pope claimed he and Mrs Skipper had a "chance encounter" three weeks before her death, when he helped get a thorn from one of her dog's paws.
He claimed he was bitten and started bleeding heavily with the blood getting onto her clothes.
But Pope had his appeal against his conviction dismissed by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, sitting at Cardiff Crown Court.
In an 11-page document outlining the case and his reasons for refusal, Lord Judge said: "The case presented to the jury was that blood found on Mrs Skipper's clothes could not get on to (them) by the way suggested by the appellant.
"The blood was deposited when the jeans were open and in the process of being taken down. That occurred when Mrs Skipper was being attacked by her killer."
Evaded justice
In the other case, farm labourer Cooper from Letterston, Pembrokeshire, was given a whole life jail term for the two double murders.
He had evaded justice for decades, and was finally caught using modern DNA and fibre examination techniques and was jailed in May last year.
Cooper was found guilty of the 1985 murder of brother and sister Richard and Helen Thomas, and Oxfordshire couple Peter and Gwenda Dixon in 1989.
He was also convicted of separate charges of rape, sexual assault and attempted robbery.
He was sentenced after an eight-week trial at Swansea Crown Court in May 2011.
Cooper, who police linked with the double murderers in Pembrokeshire following a string of robberies referred to as "the Huntsman offences," had his application for an appeal thrown out by Lord Judge.
The Lord Chief Justice said: "The defence case was the applicant had been wrongly convicted of the Huntsman offences and that he was not guilty of the present offences.
"The jury no doubt considered his [Cooper's] evidence carefully before deciding his guilt was proved.
"The application for leave to appeal against conviction was refused by a single judge. We agree with him. This renewed application will similarly be refused."

RALEIGH —House Bill 630, Rylan's Law, passed into law when Gov. Roy Cooper signed it last week. Lawmakers, advocacy groups, foster parents and children gathered Wednesday in Raleigh to celebrate the changes. The bill was named for Rylan Ott who died in April 2016, two weeks before his second birthday. The new law includes:
- An Act to Establish Social Services Regional Supervision and Collaboration;
- Reform the Child Welfare System in this State;
- Improve Accountability and State Oversight of the Child Welfare System;
- Require Written Agreements, Corrective Action, and State Intervention with Social Services Departments;
- Create Regional Social Service Departments;
- Establish a Child Well-Being Transformation Council;
- Establish a Drivers License Pilot Project;
- Establish a Pilot Program to Authorize a Waiver of the Employment Requirement for Foster Parents of Children Receiving Intensive Alternative Family Treatment;
- Reduce the Time Frame a Parent Has to Appeal from a Termination of Parental Rights Order; Reduce the Time Frame for Licensure Approval Regarding Foster Care;
- and Require Child Protective Service Observation Before Physical Custody of Child May Be Returned
The Moore County Department of Social Services removed Rylan and his older sister from their mother, Samantha Bryant, in October 2015 after a reported altercation between Bryant and her boyfriend. Rylan and his sister were assigned to foster parents in a home on Fort Bragg who weren't related to them. But a judge returned Rylan to his mother in December 2015 even though she faced a misdemeanor charge of child abuse. Authorities agreed to drop the charge on the condition that Bryant keep a clean record. Rylan wandered away from his home in Carthage and drowned in a pond.
A new law requires social services employees to take extra steps to make sure children in foster care are not returned to their home prematurely. Employees must observe the children and parents together on at least two visits before advising a judge on who should have custody of the children.

Games, novelties...
Here are some Internet links to game and novelty sites of interest. These are not definitive links, they are merely examples of what can be found.
Around The World In 80 Days... Instructions and tips come along in this game as each level increases the challenge. From this example you can see some of the game play - by swapping tiles to build rows of three identical tiles or longer, a player earns points and bonuses. (In the screen above, swapping an "S" and a "yellow" could make a row of five yellows. Swapping a yellow and "blue" could make a vertical line of four yellows.) When groups are made they disappear, and the tiles above drop down. The game pieces on the board that will make up the jigsaw image on the left must be made to fall through the bottom of the screen (just two in this board). When the jigsaw image is complete, the play advances to the next board.
There is a fair bit of strategy in what you form and remove to get the puzzle pieces to fall through. There is also a clock, and the puzzle must be completed within the alloted time or a life is lost.
The game may need to be purchased to play further than the 17th level, but playing the first 17 is challenge enough for a few days.
As you may recall from the original novel, Fogg thought he had not made it around the world in 80 days, but had taken 81. This game does have an 81st gameboard to complete before you are through.
After completing the game, you can go around again through all the levels. None are exactly the same and the difficulty increases (rocks are added). My present score, after completing the game three times, as of December 22, 2012, is...
(I guess the world didn't end yesterday as it was supposed to.)
I came across a shockwave dart game online that was kind of neat. I was successful at it, winning 10 games in a row before I tired of it. I used a program called Camstudio to record what I was doing on the screen and eventually turned it into an AVI movie.
Winning the 10th game, avi movie. Unfortunately the file is almost half a gig in size so, instead of downloading the file, maybe you can just take my word for the number of wins :)
Here is a screen pic. I am getting ready to throw my third dart. I did go on to win with a double 13 to reach zero first.

Senate President, David Mark, has charged the Super Eagles to restore their integrity as the reigning champions in Africa by beating their Sudanese counterparts in the qualifier match .
Mark said the Super Eagles needed to step up their games and restore the confidence of Nigerians in their abilities to remain the African champions.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Senate President, Paul Mumeh said that Mark gave the charge when he received the new Pinnick Amaju's led Executive of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Director General of the National Sports Commission ( NSC ) Gbenga Elegbeleye.
It said that Mark insisted that only an emphatic win over Sudan would assuage the feelings of Nigerians after the Super Eagles woeful outing against Congo.
Mark tasked the new NFF to rise to the challenge of improving Football administration in the country saying " your predecessors did their best but you just have to improve on their records and bring our footfall to an enviable position in the world."
To achieve this, the Senate President urged the new NFF to develop a system of early preparation for competitions as well a process of grooming young players to maturity.
According to Mark, " We have all the potentials and talents. We need to tap and harness them."
It said that Mark bemoaned the incessant rancour among sports administrators and advised the new NFF to work as a team as well as to carry all stakeholders along in a manner that would give all a sense of belonging.
It said that Mark harped on the need for transparency and accountability in the administration of football stressing that the rule of law must be sacrosanct.
It quoted Amaju to have assured the Senate President that he would run the NFF in a scientific manner that would bring pride and honour to all Nigerians henceforth .
Amaju also told Mark the he would redefine the way football is administered in Nigeria in line with international best practices and ultimately bring positive result to the nation.

This is just a quick post about the infamous Google Keyword Planner tool. If you haven't heard, Google has killed the old keyword tool and replaced it with the Keyword Planner. I have had nothing but a stream of questions, frustrations, and negative feedback from my students since it's launch.
My video on the keyword planner explains how to use it, and I have just uploaded a completely up-to-date list of all known free keyword tools, many Google-based and many not. So I am doing my utmost to help people out who need keyword tools and are struggling with the new keyword planner.
Let me know what you think!

Article Title
Contributor Biography
A friend and mentor once wrote of Dylan Evanston: Dylan is verbose, has an ugly love for adverbs and a keen eye for grammatical errors. Behind black-rimmed hipster frames is a lazy prized pupil who, in addition to his textbook smarts and witty zingers, has a magnificent head of hair that every woman should run her hands through. He is too lazy to write his own bio, and this one seemed serviceable.

|Talk 4 Writing - In action!
In Maths, we have been finding factor pairs of numbers. Factor pairs are pairs of numbers that multiply together to give another number. (12 has the factor pairs; 1 and 12, 2 and 6, 3 and 4) We have also continued to develop our mental maths skills, our understanding of mathematical vocabulary and what mathematical operation is needed to solve simple word problems.
|Creating mosaic masks in Art
The children have found out about the ancient Maya from the buildings they left behind. They completed their own research about the city of Chichen Itza and created an information poster.
Literacy – The children have brought home the 'Talk 4 Writing' text map and text version of the chocolate room setting to learn. This will help the children to understand the structure and features of setting writing and therefore support the children in their own writing next week. Please support your child when they are 'reading' from the text map. Parents can use the text version to act as a prompt for the children.
Maths – The children have been allocated a new game to play on www.activelearnprimary.co.uk (log-in& password details inside the journal) - The game is called 'Balloon Pop' and the children need to identify factor pairs for a given number. Well done to all of the children who have played the maths games allocated to them on previous occasions. I can monitor who's been playing which games and who hasn't
played any!
Reading – Please continue to listen to your child read at least 5 times a week and record any reading that they do in their journals.
Spellings – Children will bring home a new list of spelling words to learn on Monday.
Thank you for your continued support.
Have a lovely weekend!

If you're planning a bridal shower for yourself or for someone else, there are tons of different ideas you can use as inspiration. More than anything else you want everyone there to be having fun and feeling involved—not just sitting around waiting for the next game to start or gift to be opened. Here are four ideas for different types of bridal showers you can throw so everyone can join in.
Head Outdoors
If you and the people you're inviting to your bridal shower are big lovers of the outdoors, there are a number of ways you can work that into you bridal shower. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
- Hiking — pick a scenic path through a forest, in the mountains or hills, or along a shoreline
- Camping — make it a weekend and have fun with campfires, swimming and canoeing
- Rent a cottage or cabin — like camping, but a bit more luxurious
You can also have the usual sorts of bridal shower things worked in: games around the campfire or on the path, gifts all centered around the outdoors or using it as a theme, and so on.
Get Creative
If you fancy yourself more of a creative person, there are also some fun ways to craft a bridal showers that gets everyone's creative juices flowing. You can be smart about it and work some ideas in with the rest of your wedding planning, such as:
- Paint or craft party — have some wine and either host a paint/craft instructor or go to a class at a studio
- Flower-arranging — you can take special bridal bouquet, flower crown, or just general arrangement classes
- Cooking class — learn how to cook foods you always wanted to learn how to make together
With all of those options, you can contribute directly to your wedding: at the paint or craft lesson you can make decorations or centerpieces; you can arrange bridal bouquets or arrangements for centerpieces; and at the cooking class you can make snacks or desserts you plan on providing at the wedding.
Get Active
If you're not much of a fan of the rugged outdoors but still want to do something active and fun, there are still lots of options. Like the outdoors, you can pick an activity that really focuses on your interests and hobbies or those you share with your friends and family. Here are a few ideas:
- Charity work — volunteer for a day at an animal rescue shelter, plant a garden or tree for the community, etc.
- Scavenger hunt — stay in the city and have your mother, husband to be, or event planner set this up for you and the bridal shower guests
- Shopping spree — if you all like shopping you can make a trip to the biggest shopping mall, outlet, or plaza nearby
If you need help getting some of these things set up, you can get in contact with an event planner. They'll be able to help you find the best locations, charities, and areas to hold scavenger hunts in your area.
Just Relax
If you want your bridal shower to be a time for you to relax and forget about the stress of planning your wedding, there are ways for you and your guests to all unwind. Here are some ideas you can use as inspiration:
- Get pampered — go to a spa, beauty salon, or massage clinic to get whatever treatments you want to feel clean, beautiful, and relaxed
- Go on a trip — head to somewhere fun like Vegas, or relaxing like a beach resort, or a bit simpler like a wine tour
- Fun and simple — no gifts, no typical bridal shower games, just something simple and laid back like a BBQ in your backyard to hang out with those closest to you
Remember, you can combine any of these ideas or pick something else entirely if it gives you a different idea. The point of a bridal shower is usually for the bride to have a larger gathering of all the women in her and her future spouse's lives to meet, greet and have fun!

Workers compensation programs in California can be turbulent. It wasn't too long ago that many businesses had only a single market to turn to for workers comp insurance. Then it seemed like every insurance company was trying to get into the workers compensation arena. Now, well, you can guess how this is going. The fly by night companies have gone by the wayside and many reputable companies are tightening up their guidelines, and we're heading back to stricter times. So, as a business owner, how do you manage this risk?
You start by selecting a broker who has vast knowledge and experience in the California workers compensation insurance market. Engle & Associates has been helping employers manage their risk since 1980. The best way to keep your workers compensation costs down, is to control your losses. We can help you control losses, reduce your experience modification (xmod) and implement safety programs. Our goal is not to sell a cheap workers compensation policy in a hot market. Our goal is to be your business partner and help you take control of your workers compensation expense, long term. Is your insurance broker a part of your team? Or do they simply give you a price? Engle & Associates will help you not only secure a competitive rate on your current workers compensation insurance now, but with our risk management tools, we will also help you ensure that you receive the maximum credits for your long term exposure by identifying and reducing hazards in the workplace.
Explore our interactive work safety scene!
Learn about common risks regarding work safety and discover how the proper insurance can help.

20ft Bunded Chemical Store Case Study
In April 2013 Lion Containers received a quotation request from a customer at Darlington Borough Council. Our customer was looking for a 20ft container to be converted into a chemical store which would meet the following specification:
The specification given was passed to our conversions team for pricing and planning. A quotation for a 20ft new (once shipped) container to be fitted with the items below was sent to the customer, these were all included:
Our customer had a few queries about the safety of the unit regarding the electrics sparking near the stored chemicals. This issue had already been addressed when planning as Zone One electrics would be fitted to suit what the unit was being used for. The order (received June 2013) was passed to our London depot for the works to start. When the container conversions were complete, photographs were taken and sent to the customer prior to delivery to ensure that the unit met his expectations.
Bunded Chemical Store for a Engineering & Construction Company
Excellent customer service from initial enquiry through to delivery and beyond!
They were very helpful when I was sourcing a COSHH store, and much cheaper than any others I found. Excellent customer service from initial enquiry through to delivery and beyond, kept the lines of communication open and provided all information in a timely manner.

For the most part, I don't get blocked. At least, I don't think I do. It may be that the times I find writing difficult are what others would consider a block, but I don't.
For as long as I can remember, I have written. Journals, diaries, short stories … pretty much everything, when I was growing up, except for the things I was assigned (yeah, I know … bad student. It's true.) So when something I'm working on doesn't seem to be clicking, I just set it aside and turn to something else.
Charity was not clicking this weekend. At all. And I didn't write a single word of it. I managed to pop off about 1000 words on a serialized piece on my online journal, but that's about it for the weekend. And if that's a block, then I was blocked.
(But I don't think it was.)
I'm posting this a little late. I typically like to post to this place once a week, usually Sunday. Often, I write it out on Saturday, but I'm doing this now, at nearly 1am on Monday morning because my routine was thrown off a bit. A good friend's daughter was up for an award on the VMA's, so I watched that. Yesterday, I watched a lot of college football. I eschewed my exercise program, blew my diet, and didn't do a bit of housework. Yup. Generally lazy. Which is different, I think, than a writer's block.
I need occasional weekends like this to reset. I'm such a creature of habit that I fear there is danger of everything in my life, including my words, becoming rote and mechanical. So there you have it.
Tomorrow, back to the schedule. Back on track. Totally refreshed. Be beautiful, my friends.
~kisses for the world~

My sister's husband slapped her 2 days ago! they have been married 3 1/2yrs and in all this time, he has never hit her before.i dont know what would have made him act that way cos what my sister told me wasnt enuf to deserve being hit IMO (he saw her ex in her bb contacts and they started arguing about why she would want to be friends with her ex and all that kind of stuff, then 'gbam' slap land for cheek). i've heard that once a man beats a woman once, he is very likely to do it again and again and in this time of so many gory tales of physical abuse gone bad, i am scared for her oo. what do u think she should do?

Is there anything that is a slappable offense in a marriage? I doubt it.
She should have a talk with him and of course, and make it clear that such is unacceptable when it comes to the stability and longevity of the marriage. Both parties should also remove their exes from their BBs.
Of course, she should also get one of the bigger men in the family to slap him, so he'll know wassup.
- 8 September 2011 at 14:39
hnmm, though one cause he doesnt sound like the wife beater type, its either he is and he just started showing his true self or it was a one-off event induced mt jealousy,fear nd insecurity. basically they should talk, and have a long convo. but if he tries it again, well thats another story. physical abuse aint acceptable
- 8 September 2011 at 15:57
Hmmmm personally I feel if a man slaps you he will slap you again,na from clap e dey enter dance oh!
- 8 September 2011 at 17:05
Hmmmm this is very tricky oh! As he has not exhibited such trait before or is it that this is the 1st one ur sis is telling you about. Honestly I would pray bout it oh! Might not leave as its his 1st time but if he tries it again,na to do my own back then carry my load dey go oh before I turn into punching bag
- 8 September 2011 at 17:24
3 years certainly in a marriage is not enough time to define individual plus and minuses.
if you say he slapped her 10years the marriage then l can conclude that it might not happen again.
anger is a very terrible thing, it can make you do what you don't want to do and it is easier to comment here than to manage it o.
the guys should apologize and am sure she can forgive.
another issue is; should your ex be your enemy or your fried? hme pls debate
- 8 September 2011 at 18:30
abeg thats how it starts oh! from slap na to beg then slap again then buy her gift. i feel she has made her decision and just wants re-assurance. Left up to me i dont think i would stay oh! a living rat is better than a dead lion
- 8 September 2011 at 19:26
these days if you tell your girl friend, 'don't be silly, it is verbal abuse...if you guys don't talk in house for whole afternoon its emotional abuse, if you don't go to party together, it is abandonment, if you you slap her backass na physical abuse....
this marriage tin sef. na by force?
- 8 September 2011 at 19:54
She should delete d Ex from d BB after all her vexing after all she must allow peace 2 reign..
- 8 September 2011 at 20:06
Huh for where,I would make sure he pays oh! B4 I move out oh. Once a man slaps you he doesn't stop like someone said na from clap e dey enter dance
- 8 September 2011 at 21:23
I don't think her ex being on her bb should be such a big deal, are u sure that's all that happened.. But if this is his 1st time since they got married I think it was just a slip of hand,they can and should work it out oh! Don't end a good thing cuz of 1 slap
- 8 September 2011 at 21:27
She shudnt have her ex bb ..... She is married now... If she sees her ex face to face, she shud say hi and it shud end der ..What wud her and her ex b discussing on bb ... He shudnt have slapped her but i guess he was just jealous and angry ... They an always tlk things out and get on wit der marriage
- 9 September 2011 at 12:29
- Priscy said...
he must have been swallowed up in jealousy to act that way. I think they should deal with it by having a heart to heart talk. And if he doesn't want her to have her ex's bb then I advice she shouldn't.
- 9 September 2011 at 13:36
in the 1st place, what the hell is the husband looking at the wife's bb for?
because ur husband and wife does not mean you should be looking inside each others 'pants' every time you come back from work.
sometimes when ur looking for something that is not lost, what you will end up finding becomes what you are looking for.

Monarch Butterfly Attracting Plants include varieties which feed the adults and the caterpillars, the larval form of butterflies. For any adult butterflies to be attracted to your garden, there must be food sources, water and shelter from wind and predators. Masses or drifts of brightly colored flowering plants with large flower surfaces will encourage the greatest number of butterfly visitors to linger in your gardens.
Monarch caterpillars feed exclusively on species of Asclepias, commonly known as milkweed. The adults feed on the nectar of the plants and also lay their eggs on the stems. The eggs hatch into caterpillars and the eating begins! Milkweeds are vigorous growers once established, so the foliage will regrow after the caterpillars are done munching.
There are many varieties of perennial milkweed. Below are four that are hardy in our Prescott area:
Asclepias subverticillata, Horsetail Milkweed
Asclepias speciosa, Showy milkweed
Asclepias asperula, Antelope Horn Milkweed
Asclepias tuberosa, Butterfly Weed
While many brightly colored flowering plants will attract mature butterflies, a few species are especially favored.
Ericameria nauseosus, commonly known as Rubber Rabbit Brush, is the preferred nectar plant for mature Monarchs according to Cathy and Bob Gessner, representatives of SW Monarch Watch in the Prescott AZ area.
This plant is a drought tolerant, sun-loving evergreen shrub in the sunflower family. It has silvery-green foliage and prolific yellow blooms in late summer and fall. Native to the western US, it is slowly becoming known for its low maintenance and long blooming habit.
Buddleia davidii, appropriately known as Butterfly bush, is another butterfly magnet more commonly found in area gardens. These are large dense, drought tolerant, long blooming shrubs covered with large flower spikes throughout the summer. Different cultivars, or varieties, offer purple, red, pink, and yellow blossoms, all attractive to mature butterflies as a source of nectar.
If attracting Monarch Butterflies to your garden is your goal, then these are the plants to incorporate in your garden.
Contact us to learn where you can purchase and how to plant Monarch Butterfly Attracting Plants.

I like to put my visions in this category because I believe they are motivating occurrences, now what I do next is a mystery to be solved.
As I was laying in my bed praying and meditating I saw four columns about 4 feet tall strategically placed in a square forming what I percieved as four corners of direction or travel (north,south,east,west) on top of the one column I saw a lioness (as there was no mane around the head),sitting up with it's mouth open like she was roaring, her face was toward the world that was suspended in the air and revolving.
Now I have to apply it to what is going on in my life or the life of someone dear to me and wait for the manifestation.
My first interpretation is that she can stay stationary and have her voice or influence felt around the globe.
Tell me what you think. Just sharing.
Well, a lion or lioness' roar usually signify either a warning to others nearby or a calling for others to come by, usually the mate or cubs. Because I don't know the circumstances surrounding your vision, i can't interpret for sure, but that's the general gist. i also feel that because she is on top of the columns and not "within" them, she is feeling "on top of the world" right now, that she's recently conquered something in her sphere and is trumpeting it to the world. That's just my take on it.
That's all I'm asking. I will intertwine yours with mine and something fantastic will be the outcome. That's what I believe!!

As I drive down the streets every spring, I see beautiful blossoms on the trees and shrubs, and brightly colored flowers. These sights bring delight to my eye, joy into my heart and it lifts my spirit from the cares of the world.
It is very refreshing! I feel a need to give a big heartfelt thanks to all the businesses, families and individuals who have made the effort to plant and care for these delightful scenes.

The Senate on Wednesday approved a new alteration to the Constitution that empowers the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister political parties.
The Bill entitled: "An Act to further alter the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and for other matters connected therewith, 2013" was sponsored by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
The new alteration to Section 68 of the Constitution specifically provides that, "The Independent National Electoral Commission shall have power to deregister political parties on any of the following grounds – (i) Breach of any of the requirements for registration, and (ii) Failure to win Presidential, Governorship, Chairmanship of a Local Government/Area Council or a seat in the National or State Assembly election."
Of the 87 Senators who registered to vote on the clause, 82 voted "yes" while two abstained from voting.
The INEC had tried unsuccessfully in the past to deregister political parties it accused of non-performance but the attempts were quashed by the courts.
By this action, the INEC has been constitutionally empowered to deregister political parties that did not win any seat in subsequent general elections when the new Constitution is passed into law.
The Senate also approved alteration to section 134 and 179 of the Constitution, which extended the period of re-run during presidential and governorship elections from seven days to 21 days.
82 Senators voted "yes" to approve the amendment.

I recently heard this demonstrated on a podcast of Fighting For The Faith, where Chris Rosebrough interviewed Joseph Atwill Of Covert Messiah. If you enter into a conversation with an disciple of naturalism, understand they will not accept your evidence, since they refuse to admit the possibility of the miraculous, including prophecies. The best you can do is what Chris does in this podcast-point out that they are suppressing truth, and have an a priori assumption about the supernatural, and share the Gospel with them. Don't try to win an argument. Trust the Holy Spirit in His Word, and pray.
"When visiting with Dan Wallace earlier this year, Greg Koukl and I asked him about the skepticism on the part of people like Bart Ehrman related to early dating. We asked Wallace if there was some specific manuscript evidence that inclined people to deny the early dating of the Gospel accounts. Wallace said there was no such evidence. We then asked why people continued to deny the early dating if, in fact, we were continuing to find early fragments and there was no contrary manuscript evidence. It turns out that the late dating of the gospels is due primarily to a denial of supernaturalism.
One of the primary reasons why skeptics date the gospels later than 70AD is the fact that Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple in the gospel accounts (i.e. Matthew 23). Secular history records that the Temple was destroyed in 70AD, fulfilling this alleged prediction by Jesus. In order to avoid the accurate prophesy from Jesus, skeptics argue that the gospel must have been written after the temple was destroyed. After all, how could Jesus possess the supernatural power of prophecy if nothing supernatural exists? The philosophical naturalism of the secular historian prevents him from accepting the possibility of accurate prophecy.
The gospels also contain many descriptions of miracles. The philosophical naturalist must also deny the truthfulness of these supernatural accounts. Skeptics, therefore, date the gospel accounts very late, arguing that eyewitnesses to these events were already dead and unavailable to deny the claims. It turns out that the presupposition of philosophical naturalism is at work in the minds of those who would deny the early dating of the gospels. When this presuppositional bias is removed, the remaining evidence confirms that the gospels were written in the lifetimes of the eyewitnesses."

NC offers new way for high school teachers seeking certification
RALEIGH, N.C. — College graduates interested in becoming high school science, math and technology teachers now have a new option for certification.
Applications are available until April 1 for a lateral-entry teacher certification program approved by the State Board of Education.
The North Carolina New Schools Project is one of 30 organizations nationwide awarded five-year grants from the U.S. Department of Education to recruit and train qualified mid-career professionals and recent graduates who didn't study education in college.
Candidates in the tuition-free, 15-month program will receive a year of on-the-job training combined with seminars and online coursework.
The goal is to prepare 48 teachers a year to teach science, math and technology in districts with the highest rates of under-qualified teachers.

This last weekend I went to the summer home of my childhood, a lovely lake in the southwestern corner of Montana, surround by beautiful Montana forests and just a few miles outside of the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. I hadn't really experienced it in the Fall, so this experience was especially filled with wonder. The trees were gorgeous, many changing colors, some topped with a light layer of snow, and others pines looking just like they did in my childhood days.
I am not sure why I felt as I did while visiting this familiar place, but I was overwhelmed with love and gratitude for the individual trees, which together created the gorgeous forest where shadows of my childhood live. Each tree felt important to me, each one had a unique beauty. The ones that changed color with the seasons added splashes of red, yellow, and orange to a sea of greens and blues. The ones toward the tops of the mountains that were glazed with white reminded me of the beautiful season to come. And the pines that I so love had such great variety. The new ones were small and perfect. The older one tall with signs of disease, or imperfections.
This weekend I was in a place where a billion trees, standing strong in their own place, came together to create a beautiful forest. A forest that has enriched my life, a place where I feel closer to heaven and gratitude for this beautiful life.
