|Beto smiling again after coach swap
Portuguese defender back in favour at Recreativo Huelva
Recreativo Huelva's Portuguese defender Roberto Beto has spoken of his happiness under new manager Manolo Zambrano.
It had also proved a testing period for Beto, with Munoz often overlooking him for a place in the heart of the team's defence. However, since Zambrano's arrival Beto has been restored as an automatic first choice, and scored a goal on the weekend as Recre beat Deportivo 3-2, although the defender was then sent off for a second yellow card when he removed his shirt during the celebrations.
Compatriots doing well
Beto is one of three Portuguese players at the Nuevo Colombino, with Carlos Martins and Silvestre Varela both in their first seasons at the club following summer moves from Sporting. "They have adapted very well," Beto says of his countrymen. "Varela is coming on now and Carlos Martins has been very well received by the supporters."
The win over Deportivo – a fellow relegation candidate – saw Beto's men move up to 15th and four points clear of the drop zone. However, a tough trip to the Mestalla to play Valencia at the weekend comes a week before Recre entertain Real Madrid.
"No team is invincible," Beto said. "It could be that they are not at their best and we take advantage. Our team could be better placed (in the league) but I must admit that we have made some mistakes."

Kingscote Airport
Tonkin Consulting has been involved with Kangaroo Island Airport since undertaking an infrastructure study for the future development of the island. The potential for increased visitation, particularly by overseas and interstate tourists, was recongised as a major component of future local economic activity. As Kingscote Airport is one of two major entry points onto Kangaroo Island, the other being a ferry service, the efficiency of air services is crucial for future development and growth.
Tonkin Consulting initially conducted an infrastructure study and produced a report that defined the infrastructure requirements for the entire landside and airside upgrades, as well as costing. Following a successful funding application, Tonkin Consulting has also been engaged for airside upgrades which include maintaining the existing 30m runway width, upgrade apron and provide positions for larger aircrafts, review and upgrade existing edge lighting and apron flood lighting, review stormwater drainage requirements across the site and review requirements for refuelling facility.
Upon completion, the airport is expected to bring more than 30,000 additional visitors to the island and inject almost $30 million into the local economy.

Hey you. Yes, you! The beautiful human reading this blog post, I want you to know that you are good enough. Sometimes those four words are just what we need to hear/read. Have you ever wondered how we get to the point where we feel inadequate? COMPARISON.
Comparison is the culprit of all of those icky feelings. Think about it, we compare ourselves to others all the time! Here are a few examples;
- Bodies- Dying for a body like Queen Bey? You workout really hard and when you don't look like her you're upset
- Relationships- Another one of your friends has just gotten engaged and you're still single as a Pringle
- Jobs- Your friend has your dream job and it wasn't even her major
- Finances- You have student loans for the rest of your life but someone else has NONE (is that even possible?)
- School- You have to study for hours to understand Bio-Chem but someone else can skim through and understand everything.
Does any of this sound familiar? It should because we do it all the time! People seem to believe that this issue is reserved for adolescents but it's actually affects everyone. We're human obviously, and it happens, but what do we accomplish when we compare ourselves to one another? You just end up super annoyed and down in the dumps for nothing. It took me a while to be content with myself and where I am in life. I am who I am for a reason. I'm where I am for a reason, you know? Those characteristics about you are what make you special. If you got everything you wanted from the people you compared yourself to, there would be nothing special about you. You'd literally be a carbon copy of that person. No thanks, I'll pass on that. The moment you stop comparing yourself you won't feel the need for others to accept you. And that my friends, is a liberating feeling.
A few months ago I heard Derek Coleman from the Seattle Seahawks speak he said "Imma do me, and you can do you!" and that statement could not be anymore perfect for this topic. Stop the comparisons and "DO YOU" and let everyone else "DO THEM" because at the end of the day comparisons won't do anything for you. Be content with yourself (as in mentally and emotionally satisfied with where things are), accept yourself and stop the comparisons because you are GOOD ENOUGH.
Stay fab bbys

TROY, N.Y. >> Local bar and eatery The Ruck is celebrating its 20th anniversary as a popular hotspot in downtown Troy.
The business, located at 104 Third St., will mark this milestone with a ribbon cutting ceremony and toast at 4 p.m. on Thursday with the Rensselaer County Regional Chamber of Commerce.
This event is part of a year-long celebration of The Ruck. In honor of the bar's anniversary owner David Gardell, who is graduating from the Schenectady County Community College Craft Beer Brewing certificate program this spring, is doing an ongoing 20 Beers For 20 Years event series.
Throughout 2018 The Ruck will release a total of 20 new beers made in collaboration with breweries from around New York state. In the upcoming second installment on Wednesday, May 16, beers made with Brown's Brewing Company, C. H. Evans Brewing Company and Common Roots Brewing Company will make their debut.
In addition to this special occasion, The Ruck has even more festivities being offered during American Craft Beer Week, May 14 to 20.
Sips For Scholarships, benefiting the Craft Beer Brewing and Beverage Management Certification at Schenectady County Community College, will be held from on the evening of Tuesday, May 15. This night will feature an IPA made by Gardell's class with DeCrescente Distributing Company. All proceeds from this beer, as well as $1 from all other pints, will go toward scholarships for future Craft Beer Brewing and Beverage Management students.
Later in the week, The Ruck will host its popular annual Dogfish Head tap takeover event, featuring a large variety of Dogfish Head brews on Friday, May 18. Food specials, live music, giveaways will all be part of the party, too.
While the Dogfish Head crew is in town, The Ruck along with the Craft Beer Guild of New York will all bring representatives together to do some volunteer clean-up work in Troy's Prospect Park, as part of an initiative to give back to the Collar City community during American Craft Beer Week.
There's plenty to look forward to in the near future, as well as in years to come at the Ruck, Gardell said.
Gardell started at The Ruck on the day it first opened in 1998, working as a doorman for former owners Charles Gallo and Rich Scully. After making his way through the ranks within the business Gardell eventually purchased it in 2004, and has owned and operated The Ruck ever since.
In his 14 years of ownership Gardell has helped evolve the business into what it is now, particularly enhancing The Ruck's craft beer selection, for which it has become well-known, and its cuisine created by Chef Rachel Mabb.
Reflecting on the past two decades at The Ruck, Gardell is thankful to his former employers Gallo and Scully, along with his team of employees today.
He's also grateful to The Ruck's many regular customers, including those from the college and local communities.
Looking ahead, Gardell's goal for The Ruck is simply to have people enjoy everything the business offers, including "the culture we've been able to create by having so many wonderful people support us," he said.
"All I do is unlock the door and everybody comes in," Gardell said. "We are so lucky and so privileged to have the love and support of such a wonderful community."
The Ruck is open 365 days a year, until 4 a.m., offering three floors and an outdoor patio.
The Ruck's regular hours are 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. Monday and Tuesday and 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
More information about The Ruck is available online at www.getrucked.com or facebook.com/GetRucked. The Ruck can be contacted by calling (518) 273-1872.

"It's not acceptable to hear of plans to rename the Lowry Outlet Mall, and seemingly airbrush Salford out of any involvement in the success that is Salford Quays.
After writing an angry letter some-time ago to the Outlet about the last name change and their response being that the name was changed to the Lowry 'Manchester' to 'attract anchor tenants'. Bosses need to look at a proper retail strategy that will attract retailers and shoppers, rather than an offensive name change that upsets the whole City and the outlets potential customers!"

The Al and Elsie Antonson Military Library
Al and Elsie Antonson met in Vancouver at the end of the Second World War, marrying soon after and raising their family in Burnaby, and then living in the Fraser Valley for many years after retirement. Al's collection of well-thumbed books on the war grew into a small home library which, with Elsie's encouragement, was donated to CMEC in 2009. Those 250 books formed the cornerstone of the growing and fascinating shelves of books on Canada and war time engagements. CMEC's Dan Jahn, who had originated the library's collection, approached the family with the concept of them "adopting" the...Read More

|The impact of organizational culture on internal service quality : a case study of three hotels in Malaysia
|Othman, Mohhidin
|Awarding Body:
|University of Strathclyde
|Current Institution:
|University of Strathclyde
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
Organizational culture has been a long-standing area of research in more traditional business management research, however to date few, if any, studies have attempted to consider how employees are servicing each other within an organization's own cultural environment. In an innovative attempt to link organizational culture (OC) to internal service quality (ISQ), this thesis develops a case study of three hotels in Malaysia based on in-depth interviews and a semi-quantitative technique, Profile Accumulation Technique (PAT). The thesis reports evidence from 36 semi-structured interviews with managerial and operational staff, complemented by 320 PAT responses. For this study, Ogbonna and Harris' (2002) framework is used to demonstrate how and where organizational culture can affect employees' ISQ performance. The concept of ISQ in hotel is based on Caruana and Pitt (1997), Paraskevas (2001) and White and Rudall (1999) but a free response PAT by Johns and Lee-Ross (1995) was used in examining the ISQ where qualitative data was collected and yet assessed quantitatively, as it provides an alternative to Parasuraman et al.'s, (1988) conventional survey questionnaires. A qualitative technique was used to construct a nine dimension organizational culture profile (OCP), and PAT analysis was used to draw a nine dimension Internal Service Quality Profile (ISQP) for all the organizations. The main findings from this thesis suggest that the linkage between OC and ISQ is weak and the evidence suggests that different types of OC have different levels of impact on the employee ISQ. Their basic organizational practices are quite similar but the emphasis varies, based on organizational needs and affordability. Employee background, such as national culture, seems to play a lesser role in influencing organizational cultures. Some of the observable trends are that the higher star hotels, for example, employ a sophisticated recruitment and hiring policy while the l s higher staff turnover. The initial understanding of the link between OC and ISQ may benefit managers in the industry through replicating or benchmarking some of the positive practices to ensure better service provider and service receiver relationships in an organization.

Lab 10 - Cranial Nerve Nuclei and Brain Stem Circulation
Cranial Nerve XI - Review
This is a section through the lower, "closed," medulla near its junction with the spinal cord. Find the spinal trigeminal nucleus and tract. Fibers of the trigeminal (predominantly), facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus (V, VII, IX, and X, respectively) nerves travel in the spinal trigeminal tract and terminate within the spinal trigeminal nucleus. Note that this nucleus is continuous with the substantia gelatinosa (spinal cord). Recall that the sensations mediated by the spinal trigeminal nucleus are simple touch, pain and temperature from the face.
The spinal accessory nucleus (axons exit the brain in Cranial nerve XI) is a cell column extending from the anterior horn of the fifth (or sixth) cervical segment up into the medulla to the level of the pyramidal decussation. In the spinal cord, the spinal accessory nucleus occupies the lateral process of the anterior horn. At this level of the medulla, the nucleus is located within the lateral aspect of the remnants of the anterior horn. The spinal accessory nucleus neurons synapse directly with bilateral corticobulbar fibers for volitional control of head rotation. In the medulla, the corticobulbar fibers are located in the pyramids. The spinal accessory nucleus also receives inputs from the tectospinal tract and the lateral and medial vestibulospinal tracts. Recall the motor functions of the tectospinal tract (control of motor responses to visual and acoustic stimuli)
Blood Supply
At this level of the brain stem medial regions of the anterior medulla are supplied by branches of the anterior spinal artery. The major structures in the medial region include the pyramids, decussation of the pyramids, remnants of the anterior horn and the medial longitudinal fasciculus and tectospinal tract. The posterolateral regions of the medulla are supplied by branches of the posterior spinal arteries and include the fasciculi and nuclei gracilis and cuneatus. The mid-lateral regions of the medulla are supplied by branches of the vertebral artery and contain the spinal trigeminal nucleus and tract, the spinothalamic tracts, spinocerebellar tracts, rubrospinal tract, lateral vestibulospinal tract, medullary reticulospinal tract and the spinal accessory nucleus.

Yay! Pandora's Shame, book four of the Secrets series, released today. It's been whirlwind three months of releases to get this series out there. And I just found out that the fifth story, Drea's story, will be released on September 12th! This series has been a two year project for me, so I'm really excited, and a little sad, to be almost done with releases. Guess I'll have to find a secondary character to write about, eh? 🙂
Here's the blurb for Pandora's Shame:
Settled in her new career as a teacher, letters threatening to divulge Kate Storm's past and ruin her future force her to ask for help in an unconventional way. Enter Cole Madison, a retired-Ranger-turned-protector, with the scar on his back validating that women are nothing but trouble. Until he sees Kate.

"I read this book in one sitting, and I had a hard time putting this book down. I loved the two different story lines and liked that they did not compete with each other. This book is like a book within a book. The main and secondary characters were appealing and realistic. I loved the ending of Beth and Anthony's story, and all the pieces of the puzzle seem to fall in place. Overall, this was a great book. I can't wait to read the next book in the series."

The live playoffs concluded on "The Voice" this week, so now the Top 12 artists are set to face off on April 24 and 25 to advance towards becoming the Season 12 champion of the NBC series. Coaches Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton and Alicia Keys each have three singers remaining who will take the stage on Monday to compete for votes from viewers at home.
It took 10 seasons before a female coach led a singer to victory, when Christina Aguilera and her artist Alisan Porter came out on top last spring. Just two seasons later either Gwen or Alicia look poised to be the next to take the crown. But never underestimate the shrewd competitive spirit of five-time champ Blake and three-time winner Adam. Who has the best chance to claim the championship this time. Below are my current power rankings for the dozen artists remaining in the competition. And here are our rankings from the first live playoff round this past week for Team Adam, Team Alicia, Team Blake, and Team Gwen.
Photo Gallery: 'The Voice' past winners for seasons 1-11
1. Hunter Plake (Team Gwen)
Hunter made 'Voice' history when he had two songs crack the top 30 on iTunes before the live shows even started. With that unprecedented start there is no question that he has connected to viewers at home and earned his spot as the early frontrunner of Season 12. There isn't another artist who fits more perfectly into the current landscape of pop music. Hunter's strong suit is his ability to pour his emotions into each performance and connect with each song he sings. Look for Hunter to be your Season 12 champion of "The Voice."
2. Chris Blue (Team Alicia)
The most exciting performer of the season is this R&B singer who seems to have a limitless vocal range and treats the stage like his personal playground. His dancing is completely unhinged and he literally throws his entire body into every soulful performance. If Chris continues to choose the right songs that appeal to a wide demographic of voters he can absolutely be the first champ from Team Alicia.
3. Lauren Duski (Team Blake)
It is never wise to count out Blake, who has mentored more winners than any other coach. His biggest star this season is Lauren, the pop-leaning country singer who wins over viewers with her simple melodies and warm tone. There is something naturally likable about this songstress and she proved she is a threat by being the highest-charting artist on iTunes from Monday night's playoffs. She may not be the current frontrunner, but if anyone can pull off an upset it will be Team Blake led by Lauren.
4. Brennley Brown (Team Gwen)
At just 14 years old, Brennley is the youngest artist remaining in the competition. Young viewers at home will relate to her and likely vote for her in droves. It doesn't hurt that she's one of only two country singers in the top 12, a genre that traditionally fares well on this series. If she continues to improve as quickly as she has over the last few weeks, Brennley could be a dark horse to win it all.
Poll results: Sawyer Fredericks voted greatest 'Voice' champion
5. Jesse Larson (Team Adam)
This husky-voiced blues singer has a versatile voice that can tackle any genre. He's also a beast on the guitar and viewers at home will respond to an artist who shows such diverse musical abilities. While Team Adam may appear weaker than previous seasons, Jesse, who Adam calls "white Cee-Lo," is the best hope for the Maroon 5 front man to win his fourth title as a coach.
6. Stephanie Rice (Team Alicia)
Perhaps no one this season has grown on me more quickly than this singer-songwriter who has a knack for turning pain into a beautiful melody. Stephanie's voice reminds me of an era when Annie Lennox and Melissa Etheridge scored chart-topping hits and we are missing women like this in popular music today. If she continues to impress viewers at home as much as she has me, Stephanie should be safe for weeks to come.
7. Lilli Passero (Team Adam)
This throwback pop singer has impressed viewers this season by covering hits by the likes of Carole King and Amy Winehouse. With no exaggerated runs or stretched out notes, Lilli has a unique voice within the competition. Her performances stand out and being memorable counts for a lot when trying to win over voters. There is no reason to think Lilli will go home anytime soon.
8. Mark Isaiah (Team Adam)
Each season tends to have the "heartthrob" and that is exactly the role Mark is playing now. He hasn't proven to be a great singer to this point, but his longevity in the competition is totally unpredictable. There is no telling how many frontrunners this guy will take down when it comes down to twitter-saves during live eliminations to come. He can't possibly win, but don't be surprised if he takes out some of your favorites before he's gone.

9. Troy Ramey (Team Gwen)
Troy is a run-of-the-mill rock singer who has somehow captivated all of the coaches, but I just don't get it. His voice is good, but he lacks charisma and range. What will save him for a few weeks is that he is an everyday-kind-of guy who sings safe songs that nobody will hate. But if he can't pull out something spectacular soon his weeks will be numbered.
10. Aliyah Moulden (Team Blake)
This likable teenager is an absolute firecracker on stage and that is no doubt fun to watch. She proved she can win over viewers by being voted through to the top 12, but I'm not sure how long she can last now that the competition is really heating up. Aliyah has some serious pipes on her, but hasn't quite connected with a song thus far. Her youth and fun attitude on stage should save her for at least a couple weeks though.
11. Vanessa Ferguson (Team Alicia)
It's easy to draw comparisons to Vanessa and her coach, Alicia, both vocally and the fact that she's comfortable behind a keyboard. She has an earthy tone and makes interesting song choices, but has yet to have a "wow" moment. I'm not convinced she has done anything memorable enough to inspire viewers to vote her through. If she doesn't make a major statement next week I expect her to be in danger of going home.
12. TSoul (Team Blake)
This soulful gospel singer connects with old-school R&B music and is anything but shy on stage. There can be a direct comparison to Blue, from Team Alicia, and I believe that will be TSoul's downfall. He has a similar style to Blue but an inferior voice and less charisma. While Blake has carried R&B singers deep into the competition before, I believe this relationship will be short-lived.

Exotic Car Rental – It's Your Turn
Exotic Car Rental – It's Your Turn
You've been on a thousand business trips. You can picture how every detail of the next one will unfold. You'll get off the plane, take a taxi over to the car rental, drive to your hotel room and get ready for the meeting. Before long, you will find yourself at a long rectangular table with 10 or 15 other victims trying to force your eyes to stay open while an overly plump balding boss explains the graphs on his flip chart. It's boring, it's predictable, and it's your life.
But it doesn't have to be.
Shake up your business trip with an exotic car rental
What if you shook things up for once? Instead of following your usual routine, you could rent a fantastic car and spend your free time rolling around in style. Most people assume that they could never afford to ride around in an expensive car, but renting an exotic car is much easier than buying one (unless you're under 25). Such a small detail could convert a regular old business trip into a story to be retold.
Spice It Up
Renting an exotic car can even spice up your every day life. We all find ourselves plugging and chugging after a while. We get into our routine of work and sleep and let ourselves slip into autopilot for a little while. If you're in this situation right now, it's time for you to break out of that routine. There are plenty of ways to do this. You could call in sick for work, you could run over to the airport and buy a ticket for the next flight out, or maybe you could join a roller derby team and get some gnarly bruises. But if you want our opinion, we think you should go out and rent a sexy car. Spending a day or two in the car of your dreams can be enough to shake the dust off of your usual routine.
Jump Behind the Wheel of Your Luxury Car Rental
When it comes down to it, we all need experiences that rejuvenate and revitalize us. If you're a car enthusiast, there's a point where Google images just won't do it anymore. At some point you're going to need to throw caution to the wind and jump behind the wheel of an exotic car rental that's been on your calendar since you were 12. What do you really have to lose? After all, cruising around in a fancy car is a lot safer than joining a roller derby team.

Radiologists use CAT scans, MRIs, and X-rays, ultrasounds, and sonograms to diagnose illness. Unless interpretation of these results is communicated effectively to the treating physician, appropriate treatment will not be given. Incorrect interpretation of the results also leads to misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and death.
Contact us to speak to a Charlotte medical malpractice attorney from Elam & Elam, PLLC who can take on your radiology error case.
An appropriate rule of thumb might be: "when in doubt," pursue further or more specific tests. Rather than dismissing an unusual or abnormal sign on a test result as a harmless matter, the abnormality should be definitely identified. Radiologists should never "drop the ball."
Conditions that may be overlooked and continue to threaten patients, include:
In the case of mammography, for example, routine screenings are done. If there is any sign of cancer, a diagnostic/in-depth exam should be performed. Cancer will metastasize (grow and spread) if not treated.
You should not have to suffer because of the negligence of a medical professional. We are here to help you hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions and secure you the compensation that you deserve.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, whose history with concussions was a hot-button topic this offseason, acknowledged the risk he takes by playing football.
In an interview that will air on "CBS Sunday Morning" on Sunday (9 a.m. ET), Brady said of concussions, "I don't worry about them, no. I mean, I'm not oblivious to them. I understand the risks that come with the physical nature of our game."
When asked by co-host Norah O'Donnell about the impact that studies on concussions might have on the NFL, Brady said, "I don't know what the future is going to look like, and I'm not going to pretend to predict it. I'm going to do everything I can to take care of my body in advance of the hits that I'm going to take on Sunday."
The interview — which was conducted in the offseason as part of the promotion for his new book, "The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance" — took place at Brady's home and also at the TB12 Sports Therapy Center in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Asked by O'Donnell if there was any chance 2017 could be his final NFL season, Brady said, "No. No."
He later added, "I do want to go out on my terms. I do want to go out playing my best."
Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, made headlines in May when she spoke about Brady's health on "CBS This Morning."
"He had a concussion last year," Bundchen said on the program. "He has concussions pretty much every … I mean, we don't talk about it. He does have concussions. I don't really think it's a healthy thing for a body to go through that kind of aggression all the time. That could not be healthy for you."
Brady was never officially documented with a concussion in 2016.
The NFL and NFL Players Association said earlier this month that they found no evidence of deviation by New England's medical staff from the league's concussion protocol regarding Brady in 2016. League spokesperson Brian McCarthy said Brady had released his records for review as part of the process.
As part of the NFL's statement, the league also reminded players of the importance of self-reporting any concussion-like symptoms.
In early August, when Brady was asked if Bundchen's remarks were accurate, he said: "I don't want to get into things that happened in my past, certainly my medical history and so forth. I really don't think that's anybody's business, what happened last year. I'm focused on this year and improvement and working on things I need to get better at."

A group of media students plan to visit Kennedy Space Centre with the aim of producing a short documentary film about NASA's past, and future.
The group from Coventry University's Media Production, Photography and Journalism courses will travel to Florida's Space Coast in October supported by the university's Centre for Global Engagement, and have been granted exclusive access to restricted areas of Kennedy Space Centre and interviews with NASA employees. Their interest is in the current moment of NASA's history, the advent of commercial space travel, the retiring of the Space Shuttle and NASA's ambitious plans to venture further into the universe towards Mars.
Media Production tutor and group leader Ross Varney adds: "NASA is universally recognised and an incredibly potent symbol of the American dream so as media producers we're interested in this period of transition for NASA and whether the pioneer spirit that led to its most famous acomplishments is still alive in it's plans for the future and to perhaps ask the question – are astronauts still important?"
Based in Titusville, the group will also be exhibiting their media work at the annual Arts & Algorithms digital festival that features interactive digital art installations, short film screenings, performances and educational seminars. They will be live editing their NASA documentary during the festival, as well as running talks for visitor groups and filming promotional material.
The production team hope to have the short documentary completed by Dec 2015 and aim to enter it into competition by early 2016.

Tillandsia zacapanensisOut of Stock
A fantastic new species described only in 2010 from Depto. Chiquimula, Guatemala. A lithiphytic, cliff dwelling species that closely resembles the familiar Tillandsia xerographica in foliage, shape and size. The inflorescence is quite different though, a cluster of upright branches, two to five, each about 6 inches long with pink bracts and violet flowers. Not much is known about this exciting new species except from cultivation. It has proven easy to grow, favoring bright light with good air circulation, much like most other Tillandsias with gray leaves.

Psalm 133:1-3
There is a story told by Pastor E.V. Hill that some eggs were hatching and one little chick stuck its head out, looked around and said "Nope, I am not coming out." As other eggs cracked and the other little chicks stuck their heads out, they pecked until the eggs shell was completely broken and they came out. As he watched the other little chicks from the crack in his egg, he thought he would come out but as soon as his head was out, he tucked it back in and repeated his mantra – "I am not coming out". If I were a little chick born into this world today, I think I am likely to just tuck my head back in and say "Nope, I am not coming out."
I look around and folks seem to be getting along but I sense something in the air that makes me uncomfortable. The last few homes we have lived in have had eight-foot fences and we couldn't see our neighbors. Sometimes we would all be outside at the same time and we would speak over the fence. Once the door was closed that was it. The locks were put in place until the next morning. During the summer, the smell of charcoal would draw us out and we might say something then in casual conversation.
In one neighborhood, the people in the cul-de-sac sat up their huge smoker and invited all the neighbors to a cookout. Bring your own meat and cooler and meet your neighbor. That was lots of fun and we did meet our neighbors but a few weeks later, we couldn't remember their names. All of us did try to get to know at least one couple and we started waving to each other as we came and went down the alleys that ran behind our houses with their eight foot fences.
James was the president of our HOA last year and we invited the neighbors down to the cul-de-sac for a fish fry. The turnout was pitiful but we did meet some of the people. The people who lived in the cul-de-sac did like the little chick; they stuck their heads out and went back in. One woman got in her car and drove away.
What went on before 8-foot fences, garages in the back and security systems? What went on before everyone had a car, drove miles to church and you couldn't smell dinner cooking as you walked by the houses with the open doors? I, for one, miss those days when I knew my neighbor, went to school and church with the kids next door, and sit in the back yard that at the most had chain linked fences.
David writes: "How good and pleasant when brothers live together in unity!" Is this passé? Is this idea so far out in the wind that this joy that is spoken of will never touch our lives? I dare say, "no". When I am in Sherman on the north side where my mom lives, we do not sit in the back; we sit on the front porch. I know most of the people who live on the street. I went to school with some and some of them watched me grow up. When I am home, I visit, I wave as people pass by. They don't have to know me but they know my mother's house and if I am on the porch, they speak. Small town living does have its advantages.
David writes that it is GOOD and PLEASANT when people LIVE TOGETHER in UNITY. That is the change agent in this passage. Another way of saying this is when people dwell together in unity being on one accord, it is good and pleasant. There is peace and the blessings of God abound.
We need to know this for ourselves. I have had only one roommate in my life and it was in college. We were cordial enough, but we never formed any kind of bond. As I studied Charles Spurgeon, my theologian of choice, he notes that unity is communion. If we start there, it brings to mind last first Sunday when we had communion and celebrated the Eucharist. We were reminded that because there is one loaf and we all partook of that same loaf; we are both one with Christ and each other.
The psalmist starts his song with the word "BEHOLD". Stop, take a look, and turn your attention to this saying. "It is GOOD and PLEASANT when brethren DWELL together in UNITY. I believe we really want to be in that camp, but we say things that imply the church belongs to us. That even goes beyond the local church; it overflows into our claim on our denomination. I haven't found any place in Scripture where possession of the church building or belonging to a certain denomination belongs to one group of people who are part of the body of Christ. As a matter of fact, that goes against the word where we are told to bring others into the body for the sake of teaching them about Jesus and sending them out to bring more people in (Ephesians 4:11-13 – pages 1820-21 in your pew bibles).
If it will give you any comfort, this is not new. In John 21:15-23 (page 1688-89 in your pew bibles), Peter after being accepted back among the fold, questioned Jesus about John following after them and he is sweetly reminded that only Jesus can make that call, not him.
Spurgeon separates brethren in the flesh from brethren in the spirit. In deed we can live together in church fellowship because we are all members of one body. However, it has been proven over and over again that we have a little problem trying to live together in the flesh.
In the church we tend to introduce programs and other rules and regulations to promote some sense of uniformity. We build our buildings certain ways that make them look like what our idea of a church ought to look like. This can give us a false sense of unity. Look at the schools where the children have to dress in the same uniform; the military; corporate America, even the church. If we promote uniformity, we hide the fact that we may not unified at all; we just look like we are.
David uses two examples to describe unity. The joy of reading the Bible is that the writers did not pen these words with the 21st century Christian in mind. So let's look at this first example of unity being like the precious holy scented oil that ran down from Aaron's head, down his beard and onto his robes. It is good to know that Aaron is not just any priest, he is the high priest. The oil is not sprinkled, but poured on his head. This method of anointing is reserved for the High Priest alone as he is consecrated for service. The oil is free to run down. Its fragrance and its essence saturate Aaron and his garments as it moves from the top of his head down. Once the oil starts to flow, it doesn't matter what challenges its path. It will move down to the lowest part of Aaron's being. Christ's love is available to those who come to him.
The second example is the dew of Hermon. It is written that the dew descended upon the mountains of Zion. Hermon is covered with dense forests and swamp land. A heavy mist rises from these swamps and ascends upward toward the top of the mountain during the day. When the vapor comes in contact with the snow from the sides of the mountain, it is quickly congealed and changed to thick dew. It is so thick that it saturates everything.
What is the common ground between the two examples? It is their order and their ability to saturate and penetrate. They descend, run down, and flow in order to cover and saturate whatever they fall upon. They are examples of the Lord's love for us. It comes from on high and descends to the lowest of all.
It is in this place that the church, the body of Christ, is blessed. In this place where the sacred anointing oil descends upon all and God gives life abundantly. The church is born of the Spirit of God; united to Christ, and baptized into one body. (1 Corinthians 12:13) We have been saturated with love, anointed and consecrated for the work of ministry.
As the body of Christ in the earth, it is possible for us to dwell together in unity and the blessings are numerous – goodness, pleasure, anointing, love, eternal life, and God's blessings.
Words and direct quotes are from The Treasury of David by Charles H. Spurgeon. Psalm 133. Note. After the sermon was given, one member came and shared his story about growing up on Lake Erie and watching the mist rise up and turn into sleet and ice. Another member shared the picture of the memberships of the three churches that occupy our campus. This picture showed all of us on the steps of Wheatland. Praise God.

They may be famous television actors, but on Tuesday cast members from the soap opera Guiding Light made a Biloxi woman feel like a star. Gerda Broy's Porter Avenue home was one of three houses adopted by the show's cast and crew through its "Find Your Light" program.
Planting flowers. Sweeping floors. Cleaning windows. It's not what most people think of when they envision the life of a television star.
Bradley Cole who plays Jeffrey O'Neal said, "Some of us are not afraid to get our hands dirty. I think we've had a chance to prove that to some of the locals down here so hopefully we represented ourselves well."
The last time Guiding Light actors Bradley Cole and Michael O'Leary were at this house the two men helped install dry wall. Two months later, they said they were proud of the work of Hands On Gulf Coast volunteers and were eager to pitch in once again only this time for the finishing touches.
Michael O'Leary said, "All your differences, narcissism is put aside because It's not about you. It's about that woman in that trailer and it's about getting in there and making a difference in her life."
The woman in the trailer was Gerda. She had strict instructions, no peaking.
"I'm so excited I don't know what to say," she said.
When time finally came for Gerda Broy to see her new home, she was almost speechless. The Biloxi woman couldn't believe that her nearly two year struggle was over.
"I've got a home now," she said. "I think it's even better than I had it before."
"I've been on the show for 22 years," said O'Leary. "This was by far the most intimate bonding experience any of the cast members had bar none. It exceeds anything that ever happens at the studio. Doing something like this."
About five Guiding Light crew members also helped out Tuesday. The Soap paid for the home's furnishings and the show's set designer decorated the house.

Padakin scores twice as the Hitmen double up the BroncosNHL.com @NHL
CALGARY - Pavlo Padakin scored twice to lead the Calgary Hitmen to a 4-2 win over the visiting Swift Current Broncos in Western Hockey League action on Sunday.
Cody Sylvester and Peter Kosterman also scored for the Hitmen (14-5-3), who had five days off between games since losing 4-0 at home to the Kootenay Ice last Monday.
Graham Black scored both goals for the Broncos (9-11-5), who have lost two straight games and four of their past six.
Chris Driedger stopped 21-of-23 shots he faced in the Calgary net to improve his record to 11-3-2, while Swift Current goaltender Eetu Laurikainen made 28 saves in a losing cause.
The Broncos went 1-for-3 with the man advantage, while the Hitmen failed to score on two power-play chances.
Sylvester scored the lone goal of the first period when he took a pass from Greg Chase and made a slick backhand-to-forehand move to deke out Swift Current forward Tanner LeSann before depositing the puck past Laurikainen.
After a scoreless second period, Padakin put the Hitmen up 2-0 at 4:51 of the third period with a shorthanded goal.
Just 39 seconds later, Grant scored a power-play goal for the Broncos. Grant then scored an unassisted goal to tie up the game at 10:43.
Exactly two minutes later, Kosterman scored his second goal of the season when he slapped a shot to the top corner past Laurikainen.
Padakin then rounded out the scoring with an empty-net goal.

Contempt of an Arbitrator's Award
The Ontario Court of Appeal affirmed an Ontario Supreme Court decision that held an employer in contempt of an arbitration award. The Court confirmed that in order for there to be a finding of contempt the misconduct alleged must be established beyond a reasonable doubt and the order or agreement sought to be enforced must be clear and unequivocal. The employer, in this case, implemented the award by going beyond its terms. The employer argued that the agreement was ambiguous. The Court of Appeal disagreed.

Proposed Amendments to the Criminal Code Would Impact Employers
The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, the Honourable Martin Cauchon, introduced a Bill that would amend the Criminal Code. According to a press release the amendments would "impose a legal duty on employers and those who direct work to take reasonable measures to protect employee and public safety. If this duty is carelessly disregarded and bodily harm or death results, an organization could be charged with criminal negligence." In a backgrounder the governments states that "the proposed Criminal Code amendments build on these changes [to the Canada Labour Code] by imposing a legal duty on employers and those who direct work to take reasonable measures to protect employee and public safety. If this duty is wantonly or recklessly disregarded and bodily harm or death results, an organization could be charged with criminal negligence."

Freedom of Association in Ontario
The Freedom of Association Committee of the International Labour Organization has held that a 2000 amendment to the Labour Relations Act violates Convention No. 87, the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize Convention, 1948. The Labour Relations Amendment Act, 2000 (Bill 139) contained an provision that required all unionized employers to display a poster an notice in the workplace describing the process to terminate trade union's bargaining rights. The Ontario Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress filed a complaint with the ILO and argued that the amendments were inconsistent with the government's obligations under international law to encourage, promote and protect the right of employees to bargain collectively. The case can be found here (click Canada and Decision 2182). What does this mean for you? Will the government repeal the legislation as the Committee recommends? Will they amend the Act by requiring non-unionized employers to post material informing their employees of their right to join a union (which would have strengthened the governments argument according to the Committee)? Will the government do nothing? With an election on the horizon I know where my money is.

There is conflicting caselaw on the issue of whether an employee who participates in a lawful strike is entitled to be paid for public holidays that occur during the strike. The criteria for determining whether an employee is to be paid for public holidays, in Ontario at least, is whether the employee works his or her regular scheduled shift before the public holiday and his or her regular scheduled shift after the public holiday. In the context of a lawful strike, the issue is whether the "regular scheduled shift" is the one immediately before the strike commenced or the last one before the public holiday on which the employee was scheduled (i.e. even though that day is during the the strike). The reason for the existence of two lines of cases stems from whether the adjudicator believes that the strike suspends the right to schedule the employees.
If the adjudicator ascribes to the view that the right to strike suspends the employer's ability to schedule then he or she will likely find that the employee's last "regularly scheduled shift" is the one before the strike. Such cases include Re Olsonite Manufacturing Ltd. (1977), 14 L.A.C. (2d) 234 ("O'Shea), Re General Refractories Co. of Canada (1985), 20 L.A.C. (3d) 380 (Davis) and Fortinos Supermarkets Limited (February 21, 2003, Petryshen). If, on the other hand, the adjudicator believes that the employer's ability to schedule employees is not suspended by the strike, then he or she will likely find that the employee's last "regularly scheduled shift" is the one immediately before the holiday on which the employee was on the schedule. Such cases include Re 3M Canada Inc. (1982), 4 L.A.C. (3d) 420 (M.G. Picher) and Abebe v. Distinctive Designs Furniture Inc. (December 9, 2002, McKellar). The latter case is from the Ontario Labour Relations Board.

It may sound crazy to you but to this rural school district in Pennsylvania, it's a perfect idea.
Blue Mountain School District in Pennsylvania Superintendent David Helsel says every classroom in the Blue Mountain District has a 5-gallon bucket of river stones in case of a school shooter.
Arming teachers and students with a bucket of rocks would be a last resort, according to Helsel.
Helsel says it is more effective than just crawling under desks, and gives students and teachers a chance to defend themselves. He says the rocks are one small part of the district's overall security plan.
Kenneth Trump, president of a school security consulting firm, calls the idea irrational and says it could possibly cost lives.
What are your thoughts about this?

President Trump rumored to visit New Bern, NC Wednesday
The 45th President of The United States of America Donald Trump is scheduled to make an appearance in Eastern Carolina Wednesday.
According to the New York Post, President Trump will be surveying the destructive damage left by Hurricane Florence.
The exact locations Trump will visit were not immediately available but White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed Trump's North Carolina visit.
President Trump issued a disaster declaration Sunday for several counties in North Carolina.
The order issued is for residents in the affected area to apply for federal funding.
Locals in New Bern tells News In Onslow that Trump is expected to be in Downtown New Bern and that his car landed in Cherry Point, North Carolina Monday evening.
One dead in Bear Creek Road wreck
One person is dead tonight in a Bear Creek Road wreck.
The name of the person killed has not been released. Officials say alcohol use, speed and water on the road was all factors.
The driver died at the scene.
This story is DEVELOPING and we will release more information as it becomes available.
Public's Safety suffering at the hands of Onslow County Government, lifts mandatory evacuation
Onslow County, North Carolina Government is causing a lot of confusion on the public's safety to return home after many fled the area from Hurricane Florence wrath.
Top officials in North Carolina including Governor Roy Cooper have told those who fled the state to stay where they are because it is not safe to return, but Onslow County Manager David Cotton said otherwise.
David Cotton said in an EOC(Emergency Operations Center) update Monday morning that evacuees from Onslow County will be able to return Tuesday, September 12, at 8:00 A.M.
Robin Knapp, an Onslow County Commissioner does not agree with Cotton's decision and is urging evacuees to not return to Onslow County because it is not safe.
"We are not completely done with flooding and if it continues to rain, we will see an INCREASE in flooding. So, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE AN ATTEMPT," he said in a Facebook post. (He deleted the below post).
While the roads in and around Onslow County are still flooded and dangerous, many will lose resources and reimbursement due to the decision to lift the mandatory evacuation.
Routes back into Onslow County has not yet been decided.
Some in the area are worried that they will lose their eligibility for disaster relief funding through certain avenues, and employers will demand employees to show for work, and Fema has already begun denying applicants in Onslow County to receive help.
If you plan on traveling back soon; be mindful that rivers around Eastern North Carolina will crest which may result in the available passable routes today to become impassable in the next few days. You are also asked to bring back supplies that will last for 7 days.
Onslow County remains under a flash flood warning until 12:30 P.M. Tuesday.

Siddarth's sensible speech impresses one and all
As we had reported earlier actor Siddharth received the NDTV Indian of the Year (2015) award. Here we bring the excerpts of the vibrant speech of this man of strong convictions.When the anchor of the vent started the conversation with a question Sid intervened and started saying what he had to say.
"I am going to ignore the NDTV question and say what I am going to say first. At the very outset I clearly am not the rightful owner of this award. I came year this evening, because I represent Chennai. Cuddalore and Kancheepuram as a faceless hero, one of those many many faceless heroes who helped the people when the floods hit us. I have been credited with creating hashtag #Chennai Micro with my friend RJ Balaji which led to one of the fastest volunteer gathering in the history of Indian disasters. And we used the social network to the best we could. We are very happy that we could at that time when we had the resources to do so. I am here today to tell you that what this has taught us is this time it took us about ten hours to get our volunteers ready. When next time this God forbade happens going by what's happening with global warming, it's going to happen quite periodically and to all of us. We will be prepared in a better way and we will be able to do stuffs faster. And it also gives me great happiness to tell you that Indian patriotism, Indian compassions is very much alive. " After completing this bold and touching speech Siddharth turned to the anchor and said "now (ask) your question?" But the anchor said he has nothing to as the clear, well thought and articulated speech left room for no doubts and clarification.

A few happenings from our week:
- All in one evening I witnessed Camden drop his toothbrush on the toilet, pick it up, and get ready to use it. My shrieking stopped him just in time. Later I caught him scrubbing the sink with his new, clean toothbrush. The shrieking stopped him again. He then proceeded to dry his hands, drag the hand towel through the toilet and hang it up for further use.
- Ever since Rory went with me to my hair appointment, we've spent alot of time with the hairclips and combs. esterday, we spent over an hour on the couch and she was Miss Alicia and I got my hair done. Over and over.
- Rory has added the term "Right. Now." to her vocabulary. Not my favorite thing to hear from a 3 year old.
- After spending a couple of weeks teetering towards being a daddy's girl, Rory is firmly entrenched back as a mama's girl. She's also decided it's really fun to be held like a baby and to snuggle up on my shoulder. No complaints here.
- Camden is always coming home with new little learning songs from kindergarten. One day this week I asked him to teach Rory so she could sing along too. He started to sing, then said, "wait, wait, my voice isn't ready." He then proceeded to noisily clear his throat and then started over in a soft (kinda high) voice.
- Brian finished reading The Magician's Nephew to Camden this week, and he loved it. We were impressed at how he connected the different parts of the book with the Chronicles of Narnia movie (which he's only seen once about a year ago).
- Rory's new bathtime routine includes singing/screaming at the top of her lungs with a few "sing with me, class" thrown in.
- Rory informed me yesterday that when she's 6, her teacher's name is going to be Miss Punkin. I have a feeling she means Mrs. Simpkins, who is a teacher at Camden's school.
