It is great to be back today, back with all of you at GBFC, and back here in this pulpit. Tammy, Cade, Colton, and I were gone for twenty-eight days on a sabbatical for me. Some of you are saying, "Really? I didn't know you guys were gone." Yes, we were gone for twenty-eight days. That's a long time to be away. It was definitely a new experience for us to do that. I am grateful for the time we had away because of God's work in it, and through that in our lives – in my life and in my family's life as well.
A majority of our time was spent in mental and spiritual exercise. That is primarily what this sabbatical was about. The boys did more school in those twenty-eight days than I'm sure they had ever done before in a twenty-eight day period. So for them, a lot of catching up and getting ahead. For Tammy, she was able to really focus in on some reading, significant reading on topics like grace, the Gospel, and idols of the heart. You can ask her about all of that good reading she did and how the Lord is helping her through that. As for me, most of my time was spent on research and writing – more research than writing – as I am trying to complete a thesis paper to finish up a Master's in Biblical Counseling. I did get to squeeze in some additional reading, not on the topic I'm researching, and that was good as well. And spending time in personal planning and ministry planning, and that was refreshing.
Along with these things, we also got to enjoy the beautiful mountains in New Mexico. The air was crisp and cool. We got to hike, watch deer, elk, and wild turkeys. And seeing the leaves change colors, eating fresh apples and homemade ice cream, and watching "Andy Griffith" and "I Love Lucy" reruns. So it wasn't all work, although most of it was, but we did get to enjoy doing some different things in time together.
I also want all of you to know that it didn't take very many days away before we really began to miss all you guys, really early on questioning, "Is this a good idea to be gone twenty-eight days?" If it were simply a vacation it would have been way too long, but with the schedule we kept and the important work that the Lord put before us while we were there, that helped us to persevere and stay disciplined in the things we needed to do.
I want to thank all of you who stepped up and stepped in and helped out while we were gone and made this possible for us. Thanks to the guys who stood in the pulpit and preached while we were away. I know you all benefited from their studies and their teaching. Thanks to those who taught classes for me, attended meetings in my place, counseled for me, shepherded, made decisions, discipled, and all of the things that make up pastoral work and pastoral care. I'm very grateful for the emails answered and phone calls returned, and so forth. And for Tom and Janie who provided a wonderful place for us to stay, where we could focus and concentrate, and who really did so much to make us feel at home there. You all have been great and we thank God for you. Thank you for the sacrifices that occurred that we are very well aware of, as you helped us out and stepped in in ministry activities.
Many of you have asked, "So you went away to research and write, how's that going?" I've talked with several of you, but I want to sum that up with all of you who are here this morning. Here is where I am on that. There are two requirements that I must still meet to finish up the Master's of Biblical Counseling that I started about four years ago. First is to participate in an oral exam given by the seminary staff, a two-hour exam that can be over any topic we've covered the last four years. It is a pass/fail sort of thing. I would appreciate your prayers on that. It's not scheduled yet, but will probably happen before the end of the year. The second requirement is to finish the thesis paper which I have begun and spent most of the last twenty-eight days working on. The paper will end up at about 170 pages, and I hope it will be a resource to be used in the counseling ministry and beyond. The content will be applying 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 to the love husbands are to give their wives, and it will have particular emphasis on Christ's example of love during His earthly ministry. The reason I decided on this is because you think about the husband's role in marriage, and really there is one perfect husband, and He's not here in this room literally in bodily form. That may surprise some of you wives, it's not the man sitting next to you. So to look at the one perfect husband, at Christ, and see how He ministers to His people and loves His church, and apply that to our role as husbands in the marriage relationship.
By God's grace, my hope is that this may be a resource to be used in a variety of ways. First in my own life, I'm excited to see how God will change me in my marriage, and how I relate to my wife more, Lord willing, as Christ has related to His church and continues to do so. Beyond that, again, with the counseling ministry, and to those who are not even involved in the counseling ministry such as men's groups, small groups, as men can meet together and talk about real struggles and victories, and hold one another accountable using God's Word and our example of Jesus Christ. It's an exciting thing. As far as time commitment, my plan is to set aside about four hours per week for the next six months to one year to complete this project. Thank you for your continued prayer. I need that for clear and biblical thinking, for discipline and perseverance, and that it might end up glorifying God and being useful.
So enough of that, we're back, and we're glad to be back. You may be thinking, "What about the sermon? Are we going to open our Bibles today?" Yes we are! Please open your Bible to Philippians 4. We are beginning to wind down the content of this book. Philippians 4, and I will begin reading in verse 10.
10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
14 Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. 18 I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (Philippians 4:10-20)
We pick up with Paul and the Philippians in a very interesting place in this book. We find Paul, just a man, a Christian man, giving us insight into how he is living the Christian life, how we ought to live the Christian life. We have seen this throughout the book so far and we will continue to see this until the end of Philippians. Paul, a man in Christ, faithfully living out the Christian life, and therefore how we too can live in Christ.
When the Bible, when God in His Word, gives us a command or gives us an example of how to live through the life of someone like Paul, there is an underlying truth we need to understand. The underlying truth is that we can obey the command or we can follow the godly example of another as we are living in Christ, abiding in Christ, walking through life in worship of Christ. We can follow a command or an example as we abide in Christ. We should not read commands or try to follow these examples of others living godly lives and just think, "Okay, I've got this, I can do this, I'll just be strong and live this way." No, it is in Christ that we do it, in His Spirit, walking with Him, understanding that we desperately need Him. So we don't just read, "I can do all things." No, we read, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." One is a statement, an incomplete statement, that seems to exalt man and his ability, and the other is a complete statement that exalts whom? Exalts Christ, and His ability to give us strength, His place in our lives.
Here is another common example…
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
What are the key phrases in that passage? "God is faithful," and, "He will not allow you to be tempted beyond your ability," and, "He will also provide a way of escape, that you may be able to endure." The focus is on God, His faithfulness, His might, His abilities. God does not allow His children to be tempted beyond what they can handle, with Him actively in their lives. Christianity is not a self-help venture. It is not a believe in Christ then live in your own strength. God is faithful to keep His children in the faith.
By the way, the word for "temptation" here in 1 Corinthians 10:13 is the same word often translated as "trial." The same word. A temptation is a trial, a testing. A trial will most often lead to temptation. The temptation is to disbelieve God and His promises and then to act in that disbelief. And we do that, we do that every time we sin. We take our eyes off of Christ, we look to put our trust elsewhere, and we sin. But we do so on our own, we sin not because of God's unfaithfulness in providing a way out, but because of our unfaithfulness in not taking the way He has provided.
I say all this because of the importance that we need to place on abiding in Christ, living in worship of Him, in constant fellowship with Him. Not just here on Sunday morning. It's on Monday morning, Tuesday night, Wednesday afternoon, Saturday, all the days of the week. That means walking moment by moment in the joy of His love for us, His work in us, His ability to save and keep us. Do we focus on those things throughout the day? This means moment by moment interpreting the world and events around us as under His control and in His hands. It means believing we have a purpose, and that includes His love and care for us, His children. Praising Him for His grace, His gifts, His loving kindness. Rejoicing in the fact that we will not spend eternity in hell, we will not be separated from Him, alone in our sinfulness, cast out of His presence. Resting in His plan for us, believing in His gracious provision. This is where we are to be, dependent on Him, not dependent on ourselves. He is our strength, our ever present help. We belong with Him. This is to be our lives, descriptive of who we now are.
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
I say all this because of what we are about to see in the last verses of Philippians 4. What we see is Paul resting in Christ in truly amazing ways. We see a man who is fully resting in His Savior. Do you need that? In the busyness of life, do you need that? He is a man, as we will see today and in the coming weeks, a man who is really saying, "This isn't me. What you see is Christ in me." He has let go of himself in a sense, and has really embraced Christ, and Christ's chosen ways for him. He is a man who will not be distracted with the world nor consumed with what he does or does not have. He will not be controlled by other people, what they do for him or what they don't do for him. He is a man who is truly free from slavery to things or slavery to other people. He is no longer a slave even to his own passions. Dependence on God brings him freedom from enslavement to worldly circumstances and events and how people treat him or don't treat him. This is what we will see. This is where Paul is in our text, and I hope this is where we are headed in life, to this total dependence on Christ and on Him alone.
So for today, only verse 10, and next time Lord willing we will really focus on this idea of contentment in Christ alone.
I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. (Philippians 4:10)
We find Paul as a prisoner with an uncertain future. He is unsure of what his immediate future will be, just like us. He could be executed by Roman authorities, he was suffering as a pauper in prison, he may never see his friends again. We see the man Paul in a tough spot, and once again he is doing what? Rejoicing! He doesn't mention contentment until verse 11, but it is implied in verse 10 as he rejoices in spite of hardship.
This theme of rejoicing runs throughout this letter over and over again. We have seen Paul rejoicing when it doesn't seem to make sense to rejoice. What must have the prison guards have thought of Paul rejoicing? Maybe, "This guy is a nut, he is crazy, delusional, he must be insane!" But for Paul, rejoicing was a way of life. In fact, the question of when to rejoice does not seem to be a question to Paul, for he says, "Rejoice always."
Here in verse 10 we understand that he had received a gift from the Philippian church, and it is on the occasion of having received this gift that he once again rejoices. You get a picture here of a guy who is just looking for an occasion to outwardly express joy. He has shared already that we should rejoice always, and here is yet another expression of his joy. With what measure did he rejoice? "Greatly!" So while joy was always to be present, perhaps it varied in degree. Maybe it looked different publicly or privately at times the way he rejoices. Here he greatly rejoices.
Why was he rejoicing greatly? Because the Lord had provided for him. He was rejoicing in the Lord, who was the ultimate provider of all his needs. There is something really important here for us to see. Where is Paul's focus? It is on God, right? It is on the Lord. His focus here on God transforms this transaction that took place between him and the Philippians, it moves it from a mere human, person to person transaction, to more of a God to man transaction. Who initiates the giving? God. Who empowers the giving? God. Who supplies the needs and meets those needs? God. The participation of the Philippians in giving and receiving is a participation in the activity of God, and that leads Paul to rejoice!
God is providing for Paul, and God's provision for Paul comes to him through the Philippian church. It is the same way with us. God may provide for you through an employer who allows you to work and get paid for that work. Maybe that is how God supplies many of your needs. Sometimes God may supply your needs through a gift or an inheritance, through an investment you made years ago. Kids, God most often provides for you through your parents. God may at times use our government to help supply some of our needs, or charitable organizations, or a church. We can be supplied through many different means, but ultimately all of that supply comes through the hand of God. God provides in various ways, but He is always our provider. Paul recognized this. And so he rejoices in the Lord!
Paul was not dependent on the Philippian church, no more than we are dependent on our employer or on a person who gives us a gift. Paul would not live or die based solely on their willingness to give or not, his life was not in their hands. God was not somehow bound by whatever the church in Philippi would or would not do. That would place too much emphasis on the giver. The emphasis is on God; the giver is not the main thing. And I think we see this in Paul's attitude later in a couple of ways. That is, I think we see that Paul is thankful for the Philippian church, but he did not erroneously place his faith or trust in that church. Here are ways we see this further. First, we can see in verse 11 and then 14. In verse 11 Paul makes clear that he was not really in need, but was in fact content. Now, that could be surprising to us because Paul would have had less than any of us here. He was lacking in many things that we may think we couldn't do without. He might find it humorous what we would call needs. We would look at Paul and probably say, "You are the neediest person I know!" And yet, he says in verse 11, "Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content." And then in verse 14 he goes on to say, "Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble." So it was not a desperate thank you, "Because I would die of hunger and cold and loneliness and thirst if you hadn't rescued me." It was more of a, "I will rejoice because of your Christian concern, for thinking of me, thanks for your kindness, thanks for your expression of Christian love."
Why did Paul rejoice? Because the Christians in Philippi were putting on display their love for Christ in their service to Paul. I don't know that it mattered what they gave him really. God worked that out. I think he's rejoicing because they were being faithful to the Lord, giving evidence of their strong faith and continued faith in Christ in spite of their own poverty and persecution. Paul was thrilled to see their faith at work!
This was seen in their gift and became an occasion for rejoicing or thanksgiving because their gift represented true concern for him, concern for a Christian brother. This concern is what Christians are to have for each other. A concern that moves into action when possible. It is not a, "Oh yes, I am concerned," and then we just forget about it. No, it is real, genuine concern that moves the Christian to act. Concern is an attitude of mind that builds relationships, and Paul sees it as an essential element of their partnership with him.
Here's sort of the point. If I am truly concerned for you, then I will in some measure enter into your trial. You may say, "I can't do that with everybody I'm concerned for." It may just be through prayer. Maybe counsel, maybe we go to bat for each other in some way, maybe we provide resources, maybe we get others in touch with someone who is better equipped to help them. There can be many and various ways to act on our concern, but the key is we must act. Again, it may be through quietly and privately praying, but that too is action, an expression of Christian concern.
I don't think that we can go wrong by actively being concerned for people in need, spiritual need, physical need, any kind of need. Are there people around you that you are concerned about? Think about that for a moment. A brother who is ill or suffering physically? A Christian friend struggling with faith or sin or loneliness or confusion or failure? A person who has been terribly sinned against? A neighbor who is short on resources? Someone who just seems to be slipping away from Christ who once was following hard after him? A sister who is depressed, who has a heavy heart? A brother struggling with fear or anxiety? What are you doing as a result of that concern? How is your love for Christ compelling you to get involved with that person? Are you praying for them, and is the Lord giving you opportunity to do more, in addition to prayer? And if so, are you taking those opportunities?
Paul rejoiced greatly in the Lord as others reached out to him in love. I'm glad we don't know the specifics of what the gift was, because that wasn't the point.
Are others rejoicing in the Lord because of your faithfulness, because of my faithfulness in their lives, showing brotherly Christian concern?
God has us in His loving hand as Christians. He is our provider. We don't need to feel the urgency or necessity that we have to be all for somebody, as if we can provide all their needs. We can't, but God does that. We can do our part in showing concern. God meets all of our needs in Christ Jesus, and He will meet your brother and sister's needs as well. And so when people around you show concern for you, give to you, supply something you are lacking, then you can rejoice in the Lord, and take joy that others are putting His love on display. And then go and do the same!
I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. (Philippians 4:10)

The Mini is an occasional series that talks about personal stories that helped shape my life and career. These ideas have helped shape who I am today and started me on my journey to financial independence.
Last year I experienced something that pushed me to look at my accounting career…I burned out. I pushed myself too hard for too long and ran straight into a wall.
I no longer worked at taking care of myself or my needs. Instead, I concentrated too much on what my job needed from me. I began losing sleep – stuck thinking about the day and tasks ahead. My work day began earlier, ended later and became filled with more and more. Not once did I stop to think about what this was doing to me long term.
That is, until I took a few days off to escape to the woods and camp with my family. During this time I was able to finally take a look at what I was doing to myself and what needed to change.
The first morning of our camping trip, we went for a hike in the woods – two year old daughter strapped to my back. As we hiked on the trail, I experienced something I hadn't felt in a long time…peace. That moment, I forgot everything except being in the present. I was able to enjoy time with my family and the beautiful view around us.
We need these moments in nature, away from screens, email, and life's daily stresses. They help relieve mental pressures and take our minds off the things that don't matter.
I'm still fighting off that burnout but these moments away are helping center my life again.
Don't forget to take moments for yourself.

Eleven states commit to working on LCFS
- WARNING: Resizehelper couldn't find requeted file: /datadrive/websites/ethanolproducer.com/app/webroot/uploads/posts/magazine/2940-1292438736.jpg
After nearly two years of work on the issue, 11 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states have committed to developing a framework for a regional low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) by 2011.
The project started in July 2008, when Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick invited other area governors to evaluate the possibility of implementing a LCFS. That step led to 11 governors on Dec. 30 signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to do just that.
The MOU has been signed by Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. The states include the 10 members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, plus Pennsylvania. RGGI is a regional emissions reduction program that limits emissions from power plants.
The governor of Massachusetts contacted fellow governors after Massachusetts established an advanced biofuels taskforce, said Robert Keough, spokesman for Massachusetts' executive office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. The final report had numerous recommendations, one of which was to establish a regional LCFS. During the summer of 2008, Massachusetts legislators passed the Clean Energy Biofuels Act, which required a LCFS. "Those were the two driving elements in Massachusetts taking the lead on this initiative," Keough said.
The goal is to reduce carbon emissions from vehicles and, possibly, home heating fuels. To achieve this goal, the states signing the MOU will evaluate and develop a framework for the program as well as a model law and key program elements that could be adopted by state rulemaking procedures or legislation.
The regional group doesn't want to target a specific fuel or technology. "We want to open up the playing field for the market to find the most cost-effective means of meeting that goal," Keough said. One way to reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions could be electrification of vehicles. Cellulosic ethanol is also high on the list. "We think that's going to be an important piece of the puzzle," Keough said.
Under the MOU, signatory states have committed to provide data for an economic analysis that will assess existing and potential fuels that could be used to achieve the LCFS goals. The states also have committed to determining the carbon intensity of fuels based on the best available science, including emissions resulting from land use changes attributable to fuel production.
According to information released by Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell, the joint effort to establish a LCFS will promote the use of fuels that reduce GHG emissions, reduce exposure to gasoline price spikes, foster energy independence and create new jobs through clean energy technologies. GHG represents approximately 30 percent of emissions in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, according to Rell. Studies have shown a regional LCFS could significantly reduce transportation-related GHG emissions. "This agreement puts the participating Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states on the low-carbon road to the future," Rell said. "These 11 states will create a larger market for cleaner fuels, which could help drive down prices when compared to the costs of 'boutique' markets created when states act independently. It will also reduce emissions associated with climate change."
Delaware Gov. Jack Markell echoed his colleagues, saying that a regional LCFS is expected to spur economic growth related to the development of advanced technologies and green energy jobs, while facilitating the long-term transition from petroleum-based fuels in the transportation sector.

Stomach Cancer Misdiagnosis
An un-common cancer in the UK, scientists think it could be avoided by a healthy lifestyle and diet.
Examples of stomach cancer include:
Carcinoid tumours
Are generally slow growing and do not usually cause symptoms for a few years. The average age of people diagnosed is around 60. 70% of carcinoid tumours start in the digestive system including the gastrointestinal tract, oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, appendix, Colon and rectum.
Roughly 90 to 95% of stomach cancers are adenocarcinomas and they develop from cells which form the inner most stomach lining (mucosa)
These affect the immune system tissue and can be found in the stomach wall. They account for around 4% of all stomach cancers
Gastrointestinal stromal tumour
Are uncommon and start in the stomach. Not all Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours are cancerous, some are benign.
Gastrointestinal carcinoid cancer
Forms in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and some do not display any symptoms or signs in the early stages.
Cancer needs to be diagnosed early and correctly so you have the best chances of recovery. If mistakes are made by medical professionals, your diagnosis might be delayed and it may mean your cancer is harder to treat, or has become terminal.
Symptoms of stomach cancer are vague and can therefore be misdiagnosed as other illnesses such as indigestion, heartburn, trapped wind and bloating and persistent stomach pain. Cancer Research estimates that 75% of stomach cancer is diagnosed at an advanced stage.
You may have a medical negligence claim if a medical professional failed to:
- Examine you correctly
- Refer you to a cancer specialist
- Recognise and investigate symptoms properly
- Refer you for diagnostic imaging
- Send you for the correct tests
Is cancer often misdiagnosed?
The NHSLA, the body that looks after all claims made against the NHS, say their figures show that in 2014/15 cancer was the second most misdiagnosed condition they received claims for.
How do we help?
Here at Negligence Claimline our friendly team are here to help you get the support you need. Working with a panel of specialist medical negligence solicitors, we can assist you with your potential claim.
Sometimes an apology is enough, but in other cases compensation will be the only solution to help you get your life back on track.
Our service, putting you in contact with one of our expert panel members, is free and you are not obliged to take the advice the solicitor gives you, or to progress your claim any further if you do not wish.
Can I sue the NHS?
The NHS was created so that good healthcare should be available to all, and it is one of the country's proudest achievements. However, if something goes wrong during your treatment you deserve answers and, where necessary, financial compensation.
We do not treat your claim lightly. However, the treatment you consider negligent must be considered unreasonable, irresponsible, and harmful.
When someone suffers an injury that impacts their life, or that of a loved one, then it is vital that the NHS has the procedures in place to both compensate the patient and learn from their mistakes.

Frequency Festival Presents
Ensemble Dal Niente
Sun, February 24, 2019
8:30 pm
Chicago, IL
This event is 18 and overhttps://linkshall.ticketfly.com/event/1816653/
Ensemble Dal Niente
For the closing concert of Constellation's annual Frequency Festival, Dal Niente brings two incredible composers back to Chicago with world premieres from Viola Yip and Ted Hearne. Alex Ross wrote in The New Yorker that Ted Hearne's music "holds up as a complex mirror image of an information-saturated, mass-surveillance world, and remains staggering in its impact." His new piece for Dal Niente will reflect his dual fascinations with high and mass culture, as musicians sample and re-use their own sounds. Meanwhile, Viola Yip's music explores the resonances between visual and sonic vibrations: In the Hong Kong and NYC-based composer's new work for Dal Niente, musicians will interact with a stage-sized "chandelier" of lights as well as their own instruments, creating a multi-sensory experience that uses space, light, and sound as musical material.

'Magical 24 hours' for new Midlands day-ticket water
An up-and-coming Midlands day-ticket water has produced two new lake records in eight hours.
Last week three different thirties were recorded at Trent View Fishery in Nottinghamshire, which opened last year boasting a stock of 2,000 fast-growing carp.
"It was a magical 24 hours for us," said bailiff Ian Harley of the Friday and Saturday action.
First up on Friday evening, venue debutant James Houseman used a pop-up over pellets, hemp and corn to bag the Drop Tailed Common at 31lb 10oz to set a new lake record that wouldn't last till dawn.
At 3.30am, Trent View regular Vinny White, who has caught about 45 fish in his last three sessions at the water, landed "a right lump".
Bailiff Ian said: "After carefully taking her from the net to the cradle we weighed her as Vinny watched nervously – 33lb 10oz of pristine mirror, a new lake record just eight hours after the previous one!"
Vinny's tactics of homemade pop-ups fished on 8ft-16ft zigs produced a further dozen fish during his 48-hour stay.
Later on Saturday morning Mick Tyers caught the third thirty in the shape of a 31lb 6oz mirror on a pop-up in a PVA bag of pellet and hemp.
"What a 24 hours this was," said Ian, "it made my job as bailiff worthwhile to see three anglers smash their personal bests to bits and to see the venue produce three of its jewels in such a short period of time."

Wedding Coordinator(s):
The wedding coordinator is the person behind the curtain making certain your wedding day goes as smoothly as possible–so you (hopefully) don't have to worry about ANYTHING. They are not the person you call after you get engaged to help you pick out the perfect caterer, florist, photographer, or design details, but they will take all the hard work and research you've done and turn those plans into reality. You typically meet with a wedding coordinator several months or several weeks (depending on the service level you opt to get from them) before your wedding to go over your wedding timeline, guest count, venue details, and more. Our Apple Lane Weddings Preferred Wedding Coordinators attend to things like overall logistics of the event, maps and directions, parking, chair, bench, table, linen, furniture, and china accommodations. They often help devise a seating chart and day-of-wedding timeline and schedule (such as when the speeches would take places as well as the first dance and toast—all for a nominal fee. They make sure the tables are set on time, the guests are seated in the right spot, the ceremony starts and ends on time, things are packed up and sent back to the vendors, and that everything runs as smoothly as possible—freeing the bride, the bride's family, and guests to enjoy the once in a lifetime moments of this special day.
Apple Lane Weddings is only in the business of renting land and facilities for weddings, events, and special occasions. Therefore we are discriminating in choosing Preferred Wedding Coordinators to lease our venue accommodations. A Wedding Coordinator offers varying levels of wedding planning and coordination, so it's good to check with them to verify you're not doubling up on efforts. Depending on your budget and the time you have to dedicate to planning a wedding, Apple Lane Weddings highly recommends using a wedding coordinator. In the end, the services you get from a good wedding coordinator are worth far more than you can do even with donated hours by yourself, family, and friends.
Before you decide whether to go with a wedding planner or wedding coordinator (or both), be sure to ask yourself these questions: Do you feel like you have the vision for your wedding and some contacts for professional services, but you don't know the environment, logistics, contacts, or formalities of a wedding in the location of the wedding venue? Are you unsure of how to plan a timeline, schedule, a seating chart, weather and temperature, or how long the ceremony should last?. A wedding coordinator could be the best option for you. What is your general budget? Are you willing to spend at least 10-15% of that budget on a wedding planner? If not, a wedding coordinator could be easier on your wallet. At Apple Lane Orchards Weddings and Events we have two wedding approved Wedding Coordinators: Jessica Noble and Sherry Horton.
Wedding Coordinator – Jessica Noble

Why choose the Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne clinic? It's simple. We offer a premium, highly effective, evidence based treatment service at an affordable price. That way, remedial massage treatment can be a regular proactive feature of your health management routine. We encourage all clients to have a regular monthly tune up, instead of waiting until experiencing chronic pain and dysfunction. For a full list of our competitive prices, click here.
Many massage therapists only focus on treating the symptoms of musculoskeletal pain and soft-tissue dysfunction, not the cause. However, at Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne, our treatment method is different. At Resilience we take a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to both assessment and treatment. This approach targets the cause of the presenting concern, not just the symptoms. An ongoing remedial massage management plan is provided. This may also include take home exercises and stretches, ensuring that injury resolution is lasting. At Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne, our treatment method is a highly effective tool for injury management. Regardless of whether the management goal is preventative, corrective, or restorative.
Remedial massage therapy is one aspect of myotherapy. It utilises manual, evidence-based, scientifically proven techniques to treat musculoskeletal injuries, soft-tissue dysfunction, and to manage muscular pain. At Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne, utilised manual techniques include sports massage, deep tissue massage, triggerpoint therapy, and myofascial release.
The term 'Soft-tissue' includes ligaments, tendons, and the fascia, or connective tissue of the body. There are many factors that can adversely affect muscle and soft-tissue health. When left untreated, muscular and soft-tissue dysfunction can be incredibly painful and debilitating. Regular remedial massage therapy is highly effective for both treating and preventing musculoskeletal and soft tissue pain. It uses gentle, non-invasive manual techniques to alleviate muscular pain, release restricted tissues, and promote healing.
At Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne, treatment focuses on identifying and treating the cause of the problem, instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms. Much common musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is the result of a strength or flexibility imbalance across opposing muscle groups. One muscle group is usually short, tight and overused. The opposing muscle group is long weak and underused. Furthermore, there is a multitude of factors that can cause these imbalances. They include:
At Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne, our treatment approach has been clinically proven to provide lasting resolution to many of these soft-tissue dysfunctions. Treatments are designed to suit individual requirements and comfort levels, restoring normal range of movement, muscle length and function throughout the body.
There is a common misconception within the sports medicine industry and the general public that remedial massage must be hard and painful to be clinically effective. This assumption is incorrect. At Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne, it is our belief that effective remedial massage therapy is precise, gentle, should cause minimum discomfort, and should provide immediately discernable results. By attempting to forcefully 'bulldoze' through muscular restriction, the unsophisticated therapist will trigger a 'fight or flight' response in the client, resulting in cortisol release throughout the body. Cortisol is a stress hormone that increases muscular tension, anxiety levels, and suppresses the immune system. Therefore, the informed therapist will always work gently with the body, encouraging an endorphin response instead. Endorphins are a natural muscle relaxant. They reduce stress, enduce relaxation and promote a general sense of well being.
Techniques used at Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne may include:
All techniques are evidence-based, scientifically proven approaches, with a substantial body of research to support their clinical efficacy. To fast track recovery, remedial massage therapy is also complemented with take-home exercises and stretches, to be completed outside of appointment times. Ongoing management plans are provided to ensure that recovery and pain relief is permanent.
At Resilience Remedial Massage South Melbourne, we offer effective treatment for:

For Netflix, the minimum speed required is about 3Mbps for standard streaming and 5Mbps for HD. If it's Ultra HD you're after, you typically need at least 15Mbps for YouTube, while it's 25Mbps for Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.

Skype and FaceTime are two of the most popular video-calling services; if you use either, you need to be aware of both your download and upload speeds. This is because your connection will be receiving and sending data at the same time. Below are the minimum download and upload speeds you'll need:
There are around 32.4 million gamers in the UK. If you're one of them you'll know that gaming can put a strain on your broadband speed. Multiplayer games also require a faster upload speed, as well as the more widely used download speeds.
If you have a fibre broadband connection your broadband speed should be pretty close to those that you see advertised. (This is because the signal doesn't weaken over distance with fibre cables.)
If you're on standard ADSL broadband internet connectivity is delivered down the copper wires used by your existing phone line and speeds vary according to how far you live from your local telephone exchange. (If you live in some remote rural areas, your actual speed could be very different to those advertised.)
Want to check your broadband speed? There are free web-based tools and apps available.
Our broadband comparison service can help you find out what speeds and deals are available where you live.
Unless you have an unlimited broadband package, it's worth noting that streaming TV, particularly HD programmes, could very quickly use up your monthly data limit.
For example, Netflix uses around 1GB of data for every hour of streaming, but this rises to 3GB is you're streaming in HD and 7GB for ultra HD.

Hanging on the walls in the lobby of the Office of the State Auditor are the photos of all those who have held this constitutional position in the past. For much of Minnesota's 150-plus year history, state auditors have fit the occupational stereotype to a tee — bespectacled, stern faces suggesting a no-nonsense Calvinism and bean counting par excellence. In short, exactly the type of folk you want making sure that governments' accounting is sound, that its financial statements are in order and that absolutely no monkey business is going on with the public trust.
It's unlikely many of those early officeholders would have a proverbial snowball's chance of getting elected nowadays. Today, campaigns for the office are modern, sophisticated political operations that include energizing, base-rallying messaging about the important policies the candidate stands for. But the state auditor position is truly unique, and recent statements by would-be officeholders raise crucial questions: Just how much policy advocacy should state auditors engage in? And at what point does the integrity of the office become compromised?
The state auditor's responsibilities were once rooted in state government budgeting, finance and accounting. In 1973, a major government reorganization shifted the state auditor's responsibilities toward overseeing and conducting financial audits of local governments. While the office has investigative, reporting and educational duties, its mission remains centered on the core ideas of fiscal oversight, transparency and accountability. More than ever in state history, the office now performs an especially crucial watchdog function.
Over time, and in a truly bipartisan fashion, themes of political advocacy have crept into this watchdog role. However, recent candidate announcements have taken this to a completely new level. It's jarring to hear candidates for the office overtly pledge to pursue ideological agendas and involvement in a wide variety of policy areas like closing education achievement gaps and civil-rights enforcement, when legislators have not given the state auditor authority in those matters.
Some of this is understandable. After all, state auditor is an elected position and therefore requires wooing voters. Candidates must deliver compelling campaign messages, and promises of diligent adherence to accounting and auditing standards don't exactly tug at voters' hearts and minds.
As odd as it is to campaign for an office by marketing it to voters as something it really isn't, it would be rather harmless if it was all just election rhetoric. But a sincere desire to deliver on that rhetoric and make the state auditor's office a platform for advancing political agendas should set warning bells off in Minnesotans' minds.
For starters, the financial data and other information generated and reported by the office is considered gospel. However, as Nobel Prize-winning economist Ronald Coase once famously said: If you torture the data long enough, it will confess. Just the prospect of having information selectively packaged and presented to legislators and the public in ways that support a political agenda severely undermines public trust in government.
More fundamentally, there are certain areas of government that simply need to be above the political fray. The state auditor's essential responsibilities — preventing fraud and misuse of public funds and assuring compliance with various financial reporting standards — transcend political ideologies. And if limited staff and budgets are redirected to "other" policy interests at the expense of these important responsibilities, real problems are all too likely to ensue.
None of this is to say that state auditors do not have opportunities to improve public policy. There is a continuing need to help citizens make informed judgments about how they are governed, based on the blizzard of data and complexity that modern government finance produces. For example, when he served as state auditor, Gov. Mark Dayton embarked on a pioneering initiative to improve how state investment management performance was being evaluated and communicated to stakeholders. It's an excellent example of how an auditor looking to foster better Minnesota government can direct his or her energies.
State auditors don't need to look like humorless accountants of years past. But they should demonstrate a passion for accountability and transparency in government and a desire to bring innovation, energy, and new ideas and investments in pursuit of these goals.
That's what voters in the primaries and beyond should really be looking for.
Mark Haveman is executive director of the Minnesota Center for Fiscal Excellence.

If you've ever wasted time rifling through a stack of takeout menus and bills just to find your keys, or opened a cupboard to be greeted by a pile of sweaters falling on you, Swedish Death Cleaning is for you.
Swedish Death Cleaning starts with the premise that we're all going to die one day – and when we do, it's our loved ones who are left to deal with all those movie stubs and mismatched Tupperware lids. Essentially, you sort through your stuff before you die, so they don't have to do it after. Sounds a bit morbid I know, but hang with me!
It doesn't have quite the same fuzzy vibe as Marie Kondo's ultra-popular decluttering trend, but Swedish Death Cleaning is a unique way to create more space and clarity in your life.
The best part is, you don't have to be on your deathbed to benefit from it (*phew*). Preparing for the end (even when the end is hopefully a long way off) helps you let go of what you don't need and get clear on how you want your life to look right now. Everyone can benefit from that!
Want to learn more? Come to our upcoming Crossover Café presents: Swedish Death Cleaning workshop where Professional Organizer Jeff Orr and I will walk you through it all!
Own your stuff instead of being owned by it
Whether you're already a decluttering boss, or more of a "wherever it lands is where it stays" kinda soul, why not give Swedish Death Cleaning a whirl and experience the benefits for yourself? You've nothing to lose, except a bunch of broken pens, unread books, and clothes you forgot you even had.
What happens after you Swedish Death Clean your house? You feel like you just put fresh sheets on your bed, except the bed is your whole life. You take charge of how much stuff you have and how much space you give it in your home, so you own it, instead of it owning you.
Does letting go feel hard? Don't worry, it's perfectly natural
De-cluttering can be unexpectedly stressful. You find yourself sitting on your couch, gripping your high school copy of Wuthering Heights with white knuckles because you absolutely cannot part with it.
This is totally normal. Sometimes the whole exercise feels so overwhelming and time consuming that you'd far rather shove the excess clutter in a closet and ignore it.
That's why I recommend decluttering one step at a time. Pick one thing (books, clothes, your desk, and work on that first. There's no need to start with sentimental items like photographs though – Swedish Death Cleaning isn't about getting rid of items with deep sentimental value, just those that don't serve you any more.
Declutter for death – enjoy life!
By asking what you really want to leave behind when your time eventually comes, you get super clear on what matters right now. You give yourself permission to let go of things you don't need, and the stories attached to them (like those ballet shoes you kept, even though you know your plié days are long past.) The end goal? To only keep things in your home that have meaning to you or serve a purpose.
And once you're done? You can celebrate your lighter, clearer life, with the added bonus of knowing you've made it a bit easier for the loved ones who'll have to sort out your underwear drawer when the time eventually comes.

Create an archive page of all the media on your WordPress site.
When developing this site I needed to write a WordPress loop that showed all of the media that was in the media library. As I had partitioned all of my work into posts I wanted somewhere I could view the images only and then click through to the post with which the image was associated with if the image piqued my interest. You can see this in effect in the media archive section of my site.
This is relatively easy once digging around the WordPress codex. First, write the loop to show all the images using attachment as the post type. I ordered it randomly (see note below). Make sure you enable pagination using the paged option. I also seem to have set the post status as inherit. I can't seem to find what that does so I have made a note to revisit it at some point. If anyone has any ideas please get in contact.
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'attachment' ),
'post_status' => array( 'inherit' ),
'paged' => $paged,
'orderby' => 'RAND(1)',
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
// The image and link
_e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' );
Now add the code to show the image and the link to the post that the image was posted in. We can use the post ID to get the actual image and then we need to find the post_parent id to add a link to that post and its title.
echo wp_get_attachment_image( $post->ID, 'small' );
$parent = get_post_field( 'post_parent', $id);
$link = get_permalink($parent);
$title = get_the_title($parent);
echo '
Posted in ' . $title . '
';
It must be noted that you have to make sure you don't upload media that you don't want to appear in this archive. It shows ALL the media in your archive. It would be pretty easy to add a test to see if it had a post parent before showing it but I haven't done that yet.
NOTE: If you order your posts randomly and want pagination like I did you need to enable a php session to store your random query. Otherwise, every time you click on the pagination it gives you another random order. This renders the pagination useless. You can do this by adding the below to your functions.php file
if (!session_id()) {

Manage Azure Databricks
An Azure account consists of Azure subscription information and associated services. This section describes how to assign initial account admins to Azure Databricks, delete an Azure Databricks service, and cancel an Azure subscription.
Assign initial account admins
Users that have Contributor or Owner role on the Azure Databricks workspace in the Azure portal can sign in as account admins by clicking Launch Workspace. For more details, see Managing access using RBAC in the Azure portal.
The user that created the workspace typically has Contributor or Owner role on the workspace. If no account admin can log into the workspace (for example, because they are no longer in your Active Directory), your subscription administrator can grant account admin access by assigning Contributor or Owner role.
After account admins sign in to Azure Databricks, they can add other users (admin and non-admin) in the Admin Console.
The Contributor or Owner role should not be assigned to users that should not have admin access to the workspace.
Delete an Azure Databricks service
To delete an Azure Databricks service:
Cancel an Azure subscription

Here They Lie (PSVR)
- Developers: Tangentlemen, SIE Santa Monica
- Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
- Genre: Horror, Survival Horror
- Platforms: Playstation 4
- Release Date: 13th October 2016
- Microtransactions: No
The Killer Awoke Before Dawn…
What is it exactly you like to see in a good horror game? Is it plenty of visceral blood and gore? Is it the panic of trying to survive and find precious ammo to fight back. Or is it to quite simply be bloody confused and have no clue as to why any and every event is happening? Well, if you're about to play Here They Lie I certainly hope it's the last of those 3 options. Here They Lie is a game that simply seems to think that by being trippy, surreal and confusing makes for an atmospheric title. *SPOILER* It doesn't, it just makes it confusing.
He Put His Boots On…
You start off boarding a train before being whisked off to a pretty much abandoned maze like city to wander aimlessly until you reach the exit. It's an incredibly boring start to a game that never really picks up in the excitement stakes anyway. From there you move through a red light district, a weird sea of blood and what at first glance could pass as hell.
However your never asked to do anything other than press a single button during the occasional moral choice moment and collect letter and pictures that are then narrated by an amateur sounding cast. Then it's back to the wandering. So much wandering. Even the seeming big bad doesn't really get the blood pumping. Coming across as an on fire, giant, very angry businessman (he even had a brief case) who's missed his connecting train, as long as you turn tail and run he'll get bored and disappear again.
He Took A Face From An Ancient Gallery…
Being that this was one of the first VR titles I've sat down and played helped me stick with it and feeling like you're in the scene certainly helped some of the more disturbing moments stick in the mind. The aforementioned red light district features some grim imagery and when you can wander the hell scape it's actually a relief as it's a splash of colour in an otherwise mainly drab looking black and white game.
More really should have been done to up the excitement and tension. In one scene the main character beats a character to death with a metal bar and then instantly discards. Because of course he would. Not like it hasn't just proven to be an effective weapon. But that would make too much sense in a game that has no intention of making any sense at all.
And He Walked On Down The Hall.
Verdict. Some people will possibly get a kick out of the surreal/confusing nature of the game. I however stuck with it for the sake of the fact my PSVR wasn't cheap and I'm going to get my bloody money's worth from it.
