They were very helpful and honored my military husband with a free oil change. Then gifted him with a newer scooter to replace his aging and in-need-of-repair older scooter. Truly a blessing to our community.
One of the best shops around town. Very knowledgeable people, friendly and helpful.
Sometimes they do free estimates and not like other shops that will charge you $100 bucks to look your car.
They offer 10 perfect discount to all Veterans with the proof of an ID wich not many mechanics do (That's TERRIFIC).
I took my car one time because check engine light was on my dashboard, they look at it and all it was that fuel cap wasn't properly closed. That was a very honest move. And that's why I started bringing my two cars to them since that day.
I highly recommend this shop to anyone
Excellent customer service, Great communications and lastly attention to details
Excellent service and friendly staff. Great initial service appointment.
Great people to do business with. Very pleasant and professional in the office and in the shop. They take care of any little problem that may arise. Will do business with them again.
They were very friendly and helpful
Its nice to get an honest quote for just what you need and not a bunch of upsell. I like how things are explained and shown to you. No hidden surprises. They do good work.
I came in for clutch problems. Aamco had the truck done when they said they would and even fixed a problem that came up in less than 15 minutes. I have been very Happy with the service I received here!
I appreciate the friendly service, it's nice to have knowledgeable tech's and a name you can trust.
I take all my cars here great people great staff
Oil change only this time. they were recommended on Angie's List. I was not disappointed. Will be back.
My wife had to have her cars transmission replaced at a local Nissan car dealer. The dealer also changed her oil. After driving the car a few days we noticed a strong burning smell from the front engine compartment. She called the dealer and was told it was the stickers burning off the new transmission. When the smell continued for another week or so, she finally brought it back to the dealer. She was told that the valve cover was leaking oil and it was burning on the manifold. She was told that we needed to replace the valve cover at a cost of $130. I told her to take it to Aamco to get a second opinion because we had taken other cars to them and they had always been great. They looked at my wife's car and found that the dealership had put 2 quarts too much oil in when they changed it and the oil was coming out of the dip stick port. The owner took the time to show my wife where the oil was coming from and also showed her the valve cover that showed no signs of any leak. He showed her where to take pictures to prove it. He then removed the excess oil and gave my wife a written report of the problem for the dealer. Then, they told her it was no charge! All that help and work and no charge. How awesome. She called the dealer who would not admit that it was possible they did that and told her to bring it back and they would look. We did and it turns out that the mechanic at the dealership admitted that he never even looked for the leak, just saw all the oil and guessed at what they thought the problem was. They finally admitted that the leak was because that mechanic overfilled the oil. Now we have to worry that the over-fill caused major damage which the dealer told us was "unlikely" but they will look at it after driving it 100 miles. You better believe that we will take it to Aamco to have that checked and even repaired there. No more dealership work. We will take all of our family cars to Aamco from now on. They have earned our business and trust. Thank you.
aamco seems to go out of the way for me, whether it was for my transmission or an oil change, & I appreciate that.
Great service as always, very friendly. I'm so glad I finally found a reliable mechanic near my work.
I was very satisfied with my visit. The staff at this location goes above and beyond to make sure their customers leave happy. I recommend this shop to everyone in need.
This is the first time I have used this facility which has new owners. I have heard nothing but great things.Rightly so as I personally found them to be very friendly, courteous and even more important very HONEST and reasonable in their cost. Super efficient. I will go to them with my next vehicle problems. Great place.
My truck broke down on our way up to Prescott, luckily we made it to Aamco, which was the only shop open because of a holiday. The owner offered us a ride to our hotel while the truck was being worked on and even delivered the truck back to us when it was done. Not to mention they did a great job repairing my truck. They gave us amazing customer service and if I lived in town they are the only shop I would go to.
Very very happy with the service that the team at aamco gave me and my wife on her car!!!!
Easy to obtain an appointment. Quick service when I arrived. The technicians were very thorough in keeping me informed about my truck.
Excellent service again.
Very friendly and professional. Husband and wife owned. Very helpful from time of making appointment till car was finished. Office very clean and inviting. Had coffee, popcorn and treats. Mechanic kept me informed of everything. They did not try to push anything, but made good suggestions. I was very impressed.
The Prescott Valley AAMCO has consistently give me excellent quick service at a very reasonable price I will continue to use it for my car needs and will gladly recommend it to others
I have never received such attentive, professional and caring service from an automotive service company before. The staff at Prescott Valley AAMCO was unprecedently amazing. They went above and beyond in shuttling me between their shop and a rent a car agency and then staying late to ensure I had everything out of my vehicle that had to be kept over night. Then, I received a call the next day saying they had made additional calls to try and assist me in having the vehicle repaired under warranty - and then again assisted me in getting my vehicle from their shop to the dealer with all the contact info I would need etc. The staff at this facility are leaders in customer service. I cannot possibly list all the small things they did to be helpful - but I can say THANK YOU. I most definitely would recommend this company
AAMCO done a great job on the replacement of my brake lining . they got me in & out while I waited.
My experience was definitely a great one. Was greeted with a warm friendly smile and the service and courtesy was top notch. They even took the time to explain a couple things about my truck that were not even part of my service, above and beyond great
As always, fast professional friendly Service
Thank you
First fix they did was fast and not expensive. Trying to fix something that didnt need fixing was not on their menu, I respect and appreciate that. The owner also runs a non for profit called Wheels of Freedom. These men have good hearts. I have been back a few times and probably will never stop getting help from the Prescsott Valley Aamco, thank you.
Always go above and beyond to help me out with my problematic car. Especially Gary in the shop! He's the man.
Professional staff!
Cary did an excellent job of showing care for my vehicle, and sowing me potential areas of concern.
I was treated well, the facility was first rate, and the price was VERY fair. Cannot stress highly enough
people should come here for their automotive needs.
I thought everyone was great and I will keep coming back!
I came in for a transmission flush and found out I needed a new transmission. The experts at your Prescott Valley store shared all the details and showed me why my car was unsafe to drive. Then they helped me find a used low-mileage transmission and ship it to town, then they helped me with financing.
But the best part was that while the car was in the shop, which ended up being 2-1/2 days, they called twice a day with updates. The net result is that my vehicle should now last another 100,000 miles, and I'm going to AAMCO for all my car servicing. These guys know their stuff and are really professional!
I got the winter special done, the service was fast ,the staff was friendly and the guys working on my truck did a great job. Thanks!
Friendly, courteous and professional Service. I highly recommend this establishment. I'll be back!
It was good to find someone I can trust and keep their words.
They are all very friendly and professional. Very informative on vehicle condition, I recommend this business which is under new management, greatly improved from last management regime.
You took care of my car without an appointment in an "emergency" situation. Appreciate that very much and will be sure to use your shop for future maintenance problems and oil changes.
When I brought my vehicle in, I was told how long it would take. They were right on time with their estimate. The cleanliness of the waiting room and rest room was amazing. Employees were cordial and informative. They did not try to sell me something I didn't need. I will definitely return for service again even though the location is more than 25 miles from home. Extremely satisfied with the service and the people.
This shop has been completely changed with new ownership and a new service manager. From the cleanliness of the shop itself to the work ethic, it's all new. The new service manager is really into explaining everything that's happening with the car and recommending the right/necessary services, not just selling a bunch of things. Service is on time and friendly.
I just picked up my 1987 Suzuki Samauri from Aamco Transmissions in Prescott Valley. What a nice drive home to Prescott. I never imagined that the ride and the shift could be so smooth; now I've had this Samauri for some 20 years and 2 transmission rebuilds and who knows how many clutches; the last guy that worked on it created a shimmy in 1st and 2nd gear if you got on it too much. In short, this is by far the smoothest shifting and running trans ever! Fortunately, all that was needed was a new clutch and related parts and a good mechanic at a reasonable price--and that's what I got, heck they even took care of towing it from my home to their shop! I am very satisfied!!
Great work at a fair price. It's nice to feel like you can trust your mechanic
Once again, you guys did a great job on my explorer! Keep up the good work.
I have used AAMCO many times now, There is a reason that I go back. Jon the Owner and Martin the shop manger are honest and trustworthy. When other local companies have tried to recommend unneeded work a phone call to Martin who know my vehicle ensures that I was not taken advantage of. I understand cars and I understand people. If you want Quality work and Great customer care this is the right place. I highly recommend this business to anyone needing any type of car care.
Rebuilt tranny and fixed assorted leaks on vehicle. Extremely professional work quality. These guys know what they are doing and do it well. Repairs completed in much quicker time frame than anticipated. Would highly recommend their services.
I have been coming here for years, they have never done me wrong or charged me an arm an a leg, they have always worked with me an have treated me with kindness. Any time I had a problem John or Tony have always been there to help me or correct the problem. They also work around, my schedule. Thank you to everyone at AAMCO in Prescott Valley, Az.
So nice got me in and out fast. Highly recommend this location
Excellent service! Knowledgeable and friendly!
Services were explained and done on a timely manner.
I have received excellent customer service from this store and I will be returning for more service to my vehicle as time progresses:-)
Have always kept my vehicles in top condition, and have backed up their work with no questions asked.
Kept me informed as to my issues with my car. They got the work done as promised and on time
Always making sure that everything is good and great service.
Your entire team was fantastic. Top notch service.
For the first time in a year, my brakes don't make noise! Thanks for getting them done on time, we made the wedding in Phoenix. See you guys again.
Martin and crew are amazing! Due to my busy work schedule, any car maintenance responsibilities are such a hassle and nearly impossible to schedule. I was in desperate need of an oil change and stopped in at the AAMCO in Prescott Valley. Martin could tell I was stressed out about the time without my car and missing some work to come back to pick it up. I was shocked when he told me they would not only change my oil, but also inspect my entire vehicle and drop off my car at my office! They saved the day and I'll be sure to bring in both my vehicles to you guys moving forward! Awesome service!
After the first 1,000 miles, transmission shifts like a dream. Thanks team AAMCO!
You are honest,and friendly and affordable.I will continue to bring my truck here with confidence that I will be treated with respect and not over charged.Peace of mind is priceless.Thank you.
Clean work, clean shop, done right. What else can I say? John made a terrible thing (my truck breaking down), and turned it into a pleasurable experience. Price was a little high but I know where the money went.... Into the quality of work! Excellent! You have a customer for life.
I am repeat user and have always been satisfied. John am always happy with his customer service.
I've used this AAMCO on several of my vehicles, John always provides honest diagnosis's with several options of fixing the problems. I have a lot of automotive knowledge and have never felt as if they were trying to scam me or recommend unnecessary services. I will continue to use AAMCO because of their honesty, technical knowledge and awesome customer service.
The service was above and beyond. Fast and very friendly. My wife's car runs better than ever we were very pleased
Took my car in for an oil change and to have the AC checked as it wasn't working at all. AC only needed to be recharged and is working well! Thanks for quick and thorough service!
Amazing service! You REALLY went above and beyond!
I always get great service when I bring my truck in for oil changes. The staff is very courteous and helpful.
Your guys have always taken care of my needs. Would recommend your shop to any one.
John and his team did a great job on my vehicle. He found me a way to pay for my repairs when I had no cash. He went out of his way to assist me with another vehicle and his kindness will not be forgotten. Thanks AAMCO!
Very friendly and honest customer service. I would definitely refer a friend.
Through out my life I bet I have owned about 30 cars and trucks and I have never had service as good as your shop provides. Plus I love the coupons you company sends in the mail. I have never had a problem with any of your service men or with my vehicle was you have work on it. You can count on my cars being brought to your shop for as long as I live in this area. Keep up the good work guys.
When our vehicle could not be driven, Tony went above and beyond by arranging a rental and getting us to it.
My pickup was repaired in a timely manner. It runs better than when it was new. The technician showed the defective parts to us and was very professional as he explained the work that needed to be done and how he was replacing parts of the transmission with parts that are more heavy duty than the original parts. Excellent work!
Took my Dodge 4x4 in for brakes.They stayed to get the job done. Had 1 small issue and they resolved it quickly and happily. Their main mechanic really knows what he is talking about and the entire staff their was very helpfull and friendly. I will continue to take my cars there from now on. Thank you for a job well done.

New headshots! (Also, I'm a redhead now.)
I'm so excited to share these brand new headshots I took with the amazingly talented Lauren Toub. Also, yes, my hair is red. I'm having a lot of fun with this new look. Somehow it feels like I should have been this color all along... Enjoy!

Is it Biblically sound to have women in positions of ordained leadership, such as pastors and/or reverends?
At Harvest Bible Chapel, we encourage women to be in every position of leadership the Scripture permits. And the only position I can see the Bible reserves for men only is the role of pastor/elder (same thing).
This belief comes from 1 Timothy 2:12-14, where Paul says he does not permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. Note that Paul's reason was theological, NOT cultural.
Many of our leaders here, and at HBCs world-wide, are amazing godly women. The Lord continues to raise up and use some very inspiring ladies to carry out Kingdom work. I know I am so thankful for the amazing women leaders at HBCPN, like Amanda, Michelle, and Mandy - just to name a few on our Ministry Team.
This is our last Question of the Week for a while! I hope these were helpful to you – and encouraged you to go after God's Word for answers for even the toughest of questions.

The announcement of a new Star Wars trilogy was bittersweet for many readers. Of course, it was great news for obvious reasons: over the next decade, we'll see plenty of new Star Wars films. But new storylines also meant that beloved books from the Star Wars' extended universe were excluded from Disney's new, proper canon. One of those storylines was Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy, a series of novels that took place following Return of the Jedi. The three books—Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command—were published to great acclaim between 1994 and 1999.
Dazzling fans with his terrifying intellect, the titular Imperial Admiral Thrawn became a fast favorite for Star Wars readers. With Disney's official canon in place, Thrawn had been excluded from that story until this week, when Zahn course-corrected Thrawn's place in Star Wars history with this new book. According to fans of the series, Thrawn paints an accurate portrait of the Imperial Admiral while integrating him into the new canon. With May 4 (as in, May the Fourth be with you) acting as the obvious date to celebrate all things Star Wars, there's no better time to dive into Zahn's new book.

The groan is not unique to Wimbledon. But it is more obvious there because, in contrast to the United States Open, for example, it is much more common for the crowd to fall into silence before points begin. The grass muffles the sound of the ball bounce, too, so when the urrrr comes, it is inescapable.
"I heard a lot of groans, a lot," said Pam Shriver, the former top-ranked doubles player, who is now an analyst with ESPN. "It can be embarrassing, especially if it's on Centre Court."
Shriver remembered her "biggest groan." It came in 1996 when she was playing Anke Huber in the second round.
"It was the last time I played after 19 years of playing there, and I hit a double fault on match point," Shriver said. "My second serve, I was serving up the sunny end, it caught the top of my frame and it…

Chooks are the ideal pet for introducing kids to responsibility. If pet hens are not fed, their egg output drops. If the chicken coop isn't locked up at night, a sad pile of feathers may be all that's left in the morning. Chooks help kids to accept the realities of life.
Chickens will eat your food scraps and will help prepare garden beds by fertilising and turning the soil, however they can make a good old fashion mess too. Are you willing to go free range? Or do you have a designated spot picked out for their new home?
When thinking about having chickens around children, it's important to choose a breed that has a quiet temperament.
Here are 5 chickens that would make great pets for children...
1. Silkies
Silkies are well known as one of the most affectionate, loving chicken breeds your little flock will ever come across. All people who own Silkies fall in love with their gentle nature and tendency to want to snuggle on your lap – adults and children alike!
They aren't great egg layers, but these chicken breeds make up for it in being adorable, sweet pets that children will love to pat and play with. Plus, they will love touching their fuzzy feathers!
2. Orpington
These heavy-set, fluffy and cuddly chickens are super friendly pets for kids. Their docile and curious natures make them the perfect backyard companion – happy to follow your kids around and assist on their garden adventures.
They have a beautiful silky coat that can come in an array of colours, and they lay an average amount of eggs – around 175-200 per year. They really do love to be held and petted, and are one of the more affectionate chicken breeds perfect for little hands to hold.
3. Pekin
Pekins are docile and gentle-natured girls who are so cute! Their small stature makes them an adorable and easily handled pet for small children. Not to mention their beautiful full plumage which will delight young and old as they busily forage around the backyard.
They don't produce a huge amount of eggs, so you would choose a Pekin to enjoy their good looks rather than in the hope to do some baking.
4. Isa Brown
The Isa Brown is one of the chicken breeds that seem to just be perfect in every aspect. They have a friendly, calm personality, which means that they don't mind children holding and petting them, and might even follow children around as they do the gardening. They are very inquisitive creatures!
What's even better is that these chicken breeds are amazing egg-layers, and will produce over 300 per year! Which means not only do your children have sweet natured pets that they can run around with and (gently) hold, but that they will have a constant supply of fresh eggs that will keep them well fed at every breakfast!
5. Sussex
The Sussex is a curious and friendly bird that are intrigued by humans – so much so that they often love to follow their owners around the yard. They love to be petted and held, and delight in foraging and exploring with their human friends.
They also are very good egg layers, so you can expect around 4 large brown eggs per week. The Speckled Sussex is particularly popular as it is one of the most beautifully feathered chicken breeds, displaying a beautiful spotted coat.
According to Burke's Backyard, pet roosters are definitely out; even the most placid bird will either become bored and nasty or overly protective of his hens. Roosters can inflict serious injuries so have no place around children.
Rules for kids:
- No chasing chooks.
- No teasing.
- Never carry birds upside down by their feet.
- Never leave small children unattended around chooks.
- Cover arms and legs before handling chooks in case of scratches.
I hope this inspires you to find the perfect chooks for your playground or backyard...

"We cannot lift to our full potential without a strong foundation."
Before you build a house, you build a foundation. The house cannot be supported without this foundation. It must be strong and be the backbone of the house. The same holds true in weightlifting. We cannot lift to our full potential without a strong foundation. What this means, is that we have a few beliefs we rely on in order to lift as much weight as we can. The five beliefs we value at Kingfield Barbell are: closeness, patience, stability, power, and timing. In the upcoming months, we will break down these five principles down individually. Today, we will briefly talk about all five.
When lifting, there should be as little space as possible between the barbell and the athlete. This allows us to keep the barbell within our center of mass and lift more weight. Each athlete may have a different way of keeping it close and it may look different as well, but as as long as the barbell is kept close, that is the most important thing. Keeping the bar close is not only a positional concept but also an awareness concept. We need to be able to feel the bar close to our body. Over the next few weeks, we will discuss how to keep the barbell close in different parts of the lifts and different exercises we can do to keep the bar closer.
What do we mean by control? When we use this cue with our athletes, we are referring to having control within our movement. From the ground, we want to control the weight so we can feel where the barbell is in relation to our body. Over time, the athlete begins to be comfortable and aware of where the bar is in space, making control more natural. We also want to have control in the catching positions as well. Weightlifting is not a race. In order to keep the bar close, we must have control and not rush into extension or rush standing up from a snatch or recovering from a jerk.
When catching the barbell, the lifter must be as stable as a rock. The lifter should be in a strong position where the load is in the legs with a strong overhead position. In order to achieve a strong and stable base, a lifter must be able to get into good positions (have good mobility) and have a strong musculature.
Power is a combination of strength and speed. In weightlifting, power comes from the legs and hips. Before a lifter uses their upper body to pull under the barbell, they must first use their legs and hips to drive the barbell up as high as possible.
Timing is performing an action at a particular moment. Timing is crucial in weightlifting when it comes to practice. Figuring out when to extend, pull or catch will make the lifts feel much better. If an athlete extends too soon, or pulls too long, this will disrupt the timing and rhythm of the lift.
Next time you lift, think about these five things! Be on the lookout throughout this year as we go into more detail on our beliefs in regards to weightlifting technique!
-Coach Chris & Josh

At the end of It's A Wonderful Life (spoiler alert—although if you've never seen the film, shame on you), down-on-his-luck George Bailey comes home to discover that most of his home town is gathered in his living room. Having been rallied by his wife and a few others, they are there to support him, to celebrate him and to save his reputation. So instead of coming home to the fraud and embezzlement charges he had been expecting, George comes home to find that he is awash in cash and friends.
As the movie ends the Bailey home is crowded with smiling faces, music is playing, wine is flowing, people are singing, and the table is overflowing with money donated by those whom George has impacted along the way.
That's what it feels like in the office at Heritage today.
Three weeks ago, our finance committee challenged the church to pay off the remaining portion of our original $600,000+ mortgage, a mortgage taken on with tremendous vision and courage and leadership in 1997.
We only had about $27,000 dollars left to pay, but we're not a huge church and our members already give generously to our budget and special missions causes. So with some hesitancy about whether we could meet our goal, the finance committee challenged the congregation to give over and above their regular offerings to pay off the mortgage in time for our church anniversary in September.
What's happened since then has been nothing short of AMAZING. As Mary tells George when he gets home to Bedford Falls, "It's a miracle."
Donations have come in by the bucketful, thousands and hundreds and fifties and tens at a time. For the last few weeks it seems like every time we turned around a few more people were at the office door waiting to do their part.
So today, just three weeks later, we can announce that we no longer have a mortgage! Our balance as of today is ZERO! What we were worried was too big to accomplish in five months, you've accomplished in three weeks! .
So as the celebration continues around here, I'm asking the question, "Why have people given and given so generously?"
Well, I think it's mostly for the same reasons that everyone showed up to help George Bailey. George was there when they needed him. When other people said no, George said yes. And George developed a habit of finding value in people where others didn't.
When we've been sick, Heritage has visited. When we've faced difficult decisions, Heritage has prayed. When we've lost loved ones, Heritage has grieved. When we've had children or grandchildren, when we've gotten married or found new jobs, when we've graduated or been promoted, Heritage has celebrated with us.
We give to Heritage because Heritage has been there when we've needed God and God's family most. We live in a world that's good at saying no, but Heritage has developed a habit of saying yes.
Heritage has seen us not for what we have or for what we can offer or do, but for who we are—children of God. God has been faithful to Heritage and Heritage has been faithful to us.
Today we can celebrate a job completed--a job well done--because Heritage's founding generation has consistently chosen faithful commitment and generosity. They've chosen over and over again to say yes.
In the middle of the celebration at the Bailey house, George's brother, Harry, walks in and caps off the evening by giving a toast to "my big brother, George, the richest man in town." Harry said what everyone knew--that George, never wealthy in money, was rich in the things that matter most—the love, respect and friendship of everyone who'd been lucky enough to know him.
As we make our final mortgage payment, this is a week to recognize how rich we are in things that matter even more than money.
So today I offer this blessing. May we always be good at saying yes—yes to each other's hopes and dreams and needs, and yes to the vision and mission of God for this church and our community.
And with Harry Bailey I offer a toast. Here's to Heritage, the richest church in town.
It IS a wonderful life.
See you Sunday.


text: 2016 In Review: Christian Persecution In Crisis By PNW Staff January 30, 2017 Share this article: Once again, 2016 has broken records for Christian persecution across the world. From terrorist attacks and mass killings to increasingly oppressive laws targeting Christians with imprisonment and excessive fines for practicing their faith, the wave of violence continues to swell. The atrocities of the Islamic State, the genocide committed by Boko Haram in Nigeria, hundreds of new church burnings in India and the 2016 Easter Sunday bombing in Lahore, Pakistan which killed 74 and injured 320 are all just a few examples of the violence and fear Christians around the world must endure each day.Several new studies were recently published that track the nature and extent of persecution using varying methodologies, but there is little doubt that the world is growing increasingly hostile to Christians. To gain a more accurate idea of the dangers faced by Christians, just this month Open Doors USA published its annual World Watch List of the 50 worst countries for Christian persecution. Both Gordon-Conwell's Center for the Study of Global Christianity and the Turin-based Center for Studies on New Religions have published their own annual reports on killings and persecutions of Christians which largely agree in quantitative terms.Though the exact totals diverge due to different data gathering methodology, all the research agrees that the trend, especially in the past three years, has seen an increase in persecution. Open Doors identifies 2016 as the worst year on record after steadily increasing violence since 2014. Though confirmed martyrdom cases total 1,200 deaths, this fails to account for thousands more in active combat zones such as Iraq, Syria and places in Africa where data is difficult to confirm. The Center for the Study of Global Christianity and Center for Studies on New Religions both offer a more liberal estimate of 27,000 Christians killed for their faith with an additional 63,000 Christians killed over tribal or territorial conflicts, primarily throughout Africa.North Korea once again tops the Open Doors' list (for the 16th consecutive year) as the most oppressive country for Christians, but Somalia is a close second. "If a Christian is discovered in Somalia, they are unlikely to live to see another day. Just the suspicion that someone is a Christian can lead to a rushed beheading," said Lisa Pearce, CEO of Open Doors UK and Ireland. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen and Eritrea round out the top ten worst nations. The full list can be found here WWL 2016 with not only the ranking, but also individual analysis of each country.All the countries after North Korea in the top ten are majority Muslim countries and Islam is in fact the primary source of persecution in 35 out of the 50 countries found on the list. The total number of Christians facing high, very high or extreme levels of persecution is estimated at 215 million.In the world's largest democracy, Christianity has increasingly become a target of harsh new laws, violent mobs and systematic killing at the hands of Hindu nationalists. These Hindu nationalists use discrimination and non-violent oppression first on minority Christians, who are largely from the lower social castes, but have increasingly turned to church burnings and campaigns of murder of Dalits and other poor, Indian Christians. "This year there is a clear pattern of rising religious intolerance across the Indian sub-continent which affects many millions of Christians," said Lisa Pearce.Iran, coming in at number eight on the list, has refrained from the mass killings and mob violence seen in Pakistan, Syria, India and elsewhere, but has instead embarked on a campaign of social control of churches, arbitrary arrest and torture along with the widespread use of crippling fines for practicing Christian beliefs that amounts to a mass seizure of wealth.Although it may be easy for those who live in developed nations to forget or ignore the suffering taking place in distant lands, it is important to keep in mind the plight of our brothers and sisters in Christ. For the millions living in fear and worshiping in secret, the price of their faith can be very high indeed. So, take a moment to keep these persecuted Christians in your prayers, in your politics and consider supporting an aid organization trying to make a difference such as Open Doors. Liked this article?

Published to accompany an exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Second Sight presents 50 photographs drawn from the collection of David Kronn over the past 20 years. Kronn's interests have included work by Edward Weston and August Sander, as well as by contemporary award-winners such as Trine Sondergaard and Simon Norfolk. Kronn's wide travels have influenced his collecting: Japanese photography is represented by Daido Moriyama, Asako Narahashi, Tomoko Sawaad and Hiroji Kubata, while Kronn's interest in Mexico is reflected in portraits of Frido Kahlo by Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo. Pieter Hugo's acclaimed photographs of South Africa are also featured. A foreword by Sarah Glennie, an essay by Virginia Heckert and an interview between Kronn and Seán Kissane explore themes such as representations of Ireland from the 1960s to the present, portraits and double portrait and contemporary photography from Africa, Japan and Latin America.

It's called the 'Mighty Deo' and it flies…literally.
When Brandon was just a wee lad he was watching a flock of sheep and couldn't help but notice that they were all the same. They looked the same, ate the same grass and they all aimlessly followed each other around. Not one of them stood out as an individual.
Brandon didn't want to be like that when he grew up.
When he was finally old enough to buy his first 4X4, he left the sheep to their Toyotas and Nissans and snagged himself a Rodeo.
Brandon wanted to fly, so no smokey old diesel was going to do, he opted for the 3.2-litre petrol V6 with a 5-speed manual.
With plenty of sting under the bonnet, Brandon concentrated on making the Rodeo more capable. He wound up the torsion bars 2-inches, lifted the body another 2-inches, fitted some Tough Dog shocks and has the whole package rolling on 33-inch BFG muddies.
The Mighty Deo now spends its time getting Brandon to work and back and hitting the tracks on weekends, off-roading, camping and getting the dirt bikes out to the bush.
This Rodeo has proven itself with its stock drivetrain and the original CVs still taking the punishment that Brandon dishes out. That's impressive for any flying 4X4.
Do you want an EXPRESS feature article like this on your 4X4? Getting it 'Loaded' will take less than 10 minutes using our LOADED EXPRESS QUESTIONNAIRE.

It is hard to believe that Love Mexico & Beyond 2018 is now in the history books. When a whole team works for a year on an event, and it is now in your rearview mirror, it can be a difficult adjustment, there may be a medical term for it, I think it is called Post Conference Depression.
Each year we strive to make Love Mexico & Beyond the best conference ever, and this year, celebrating our 10th anniversary, I think we met and exceeded that goal. If you weren't one of the approximately 700 people attending, our host resorts were the Hotel Xcaret Mexico and the Occidental Destination at Xcaret Hotel, 2 incredible hosts. This year's trade show was held at both hotels with exhibitors representing many countries such as the British Virgin Islands, St. Maartin, Turks & Caicos, Jamaica, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic. But how can we talk about this year's program without mentioning the speakers? This year's program was diverse, covering many topics, and our speakers were each the leaders in their fields, sharing a wealth of information to the attendees. It is with my sincerest gratitude that I thank everyone…our attendees, exhibitors, speakers, host hotels for the main conference as well the host hotels for our pre and post programs (The Haven Resort & Spa, Barcelo Grand Maya, Presidente Intercontinental Cozumel), sponsors, and the entire IADWP staff for their hard work and dedication in making Love Mexico and Beyond, the amazing event that it was.
Next year's annual conference is already in the planning stages, we didn't wait for the dust to settle when we were already working on 2019. Next year we will introduce a new name for Love Mexico & Beyond, as we continue to grow internationally, we wanted the name to more identify with the content. Starting in 2019 we will be known as the World Romance Travel Conference / Love Mexico.
Also, we became aware that the United States Thanksgiving is very late next year and could cause a conflict in attendees schedules. We are currently looking at the possibility of changing the date by about 1-week in order to avoid scheduling conflicts. As soon as everything is official, including our host resort, we will announce the date and location which will be in the Cancun / Riviera Maya area.
From the entire staff of IADWP, we wish you happy holidays and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Ed Cotton
IADWP President

Fort Myers man contracts flesh eating bacteria, loses leg
We exclusively spoke to a Fort Myers man who lost his leg after contracting a flesh eating bacteria.
Zach Mody ended up in the hospital after being in the water at Fort Myers Beach just south of the pier. Recent water tests came back negative for any dangerous levels of bacteria.
"I would have never thought in a million years this would have happened to me," Mody said.
Zach Mody is lucky to be alive.
He spoke from his hospital bed at Health Park Hospital.
"The water had just splashed over my foot and I didn't think anything about it," Mody said.
The first symptoms flared up right after he went into the Gulf with a minor cut on his toe about a month ago.
"I noticed my foot was a little irritated and it just had a little red spot on it," Mody said.
But just 12 hours later, the pain became so unbearable.
He checked himself into the hospital. "By the time that I got from downstairs to the operating room, there were these big giant blood blisters on my foot," Mody said.
The infection was quickly spreading up his leg.
"It's really a surgical emergency. They need to get in and do a fasciotomy and clean out the fascial plane and maybe even amputation," Brian Brown, a physician assistant said.
After seven surgeries, doctors amputated Mody's leg.
Now this master carpenter and avid motor cycle rider will need to find a new profession and a new hobby.
Most of us have been told that swimming in the ocean will help heal a sore or cut.
But doctors say there's more than just salt in the water, like bacteria, it can be deadly.
Health experts caution people with open wounds to think twice about going in the water.
A few steps in the Gulf were enough to change Mody's life. "This is horrible. It hurts. The mental aspect you have to have to keep a smile on your face to go through something like this, I don't know how I'm doing it," Mody said.

In the US and Canada deliveries and pick-ups are done by FedEx. We'll ship the radios directly to your hotel or office. After the tour all you need to do is place the return label on the box and leave it at a FedEx location, or at the front desk of your hotel. We'll take care of the rest. In other countries we deliver either by courier or in person.
What items are included in a rental?
You will receive a transmitter, microphone, receivers and new earbuds for each customer. Depending on the duration and location of the rental we may also include spare units and batteries.

Yes, we do offer reduced prices on new sets if you trade in your old units.
Do you offer seasonal rentals?
We do, they are for a minimum of 4 months and restrictions apply.

This is a one way system from guide to client. Two way communications can be disturbing during a tour. Questions are usually asked directly to the guide and he or she can decide to share it with the rest of the group.
What about interference from other tour groups using this system?
We have many available channels to be able to operate multiple tours in one area.
What is the range?
Generally about 200ft. Depending on the area it may be more or less. It is recommended for group members to stay within visual range of the guide.
Can I use the headsets in the rain?
This system is not waterproof, however the radios are used in all conditions. They are small enough to be placed inside a raincoat or shirt pocket.
How heavy are the receivers?
About 3.5 ounces, including batteries. A set for 50 people will fit in a 16″×12″x6″ carrying case.
I have used a Vox system on tour in Europe, is this the same?
It is identical, except for the frequencies.
Can I use my own earphones?
Yes, unlike some competitors our radios do not have proprietary headphone jacks but a standard 3.5mm. For safety reasons we do suggest to always keep one ear "open" during walking tours.
Where is Vox based?
Our main office for North and South America is in Scottsdale, AZ. The head-office for Europe and Asia is in Rome, Italy.

It's New Year's Eve. In some ways it seems arbitrary that today is a significant marker of time. It is a day like any other.
But we have made it a day to reflect, to review the days gone by, to evaluate where we are on a road marked with a few defining moments, but mostly ordinary ones. And we also get ready to turn the page on a new year. And, truth is, we long for the fresh start. We yearn to open our eyes to the new mercies.
I think about the events of the year just lived–the way the world opened up for my oldest daughter as she traveled on a mission trip to Africa.
The way that my heart grieved and rejoiced all at the same time as I heard my son's name called to receive his high school diploma.
There was the soul-searching of a decision to place a "not-quite-teenager" in public school. There were teeth lost, braces removed, sports practiced, dances rehearsed.
There were driving permits. Driver's licenses. Boundaries stretched in new ways. And often it just drives me to my knees, which is where the year is really lived.
Though certainly the year for us has been filled with measures of joy and sorrow, I offer a prayer of humble thanks for every good and perfect gift that has come from my Father's hand. In the beautiful things, I see His wisdom. In the quiet moments, I take joy in the sweetness of His presence. In the laughter at the table, I am filled up with the measure of His kindness. In the hard things, I long for all to be made right at His coming.
Yes, "I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation." Habakkuk 3:18

The only food I knew from Beijing was the Peking Duck. I've had this dish plenty of times in Singapore but I knew I had to try it again in Beijing. I knew Peking Duck can be pretty pricey depending on the place you go to, so I wanted to find one that was famous yet affordable.
That's when I found Deyuan Roast Duck (德缘烤鸭店). After a short struggle trying to see Tiananmen Square amidst the holidays, I walked for a good 30 minutes before finding this place. Even though it was only 11am, it was a full house and with a short wait list of 3 tables when I entered. While waiting you could see a table with two staff just cutting the duck up as well as a room where the roasted ducks were being hung. You could already tell that this place is famous for their roasted ducks, and also that every table had ordered the peking duck as far as I could see.
I ordered the duck (didn't even had to think), fried rice and pork with eggs despite the waiter warning me that this was too much food. I ignore her advice and later found that it was a terrible mistake. Chinese restaurants are clearly not for the solo traveller. I ended up having to take out more than half of what I ordered.
Want to access Google, Netflix, Facebook or Twitter in China? Check out my recommendation on the best VPN to use in China.
The duck arrived fastest, since they were already constantly cutting them up. A whole duck was divided into plates, with the skin on one, lean meat on one and meat with fats on another. The combination of the dumpling skin, the meat or skin and cucumber, dipped in the sweet sauce is just a heavenly combination. I have new found respect for the person who came up with the peking duck. I couldn't spare too much stomach space for the other two dishes because I simply could not stop eating the duck.
The other dishes available in the restaurant were great too, which is very apparent just looking around at the amount people around were ordering. For sure, this is a great place to try Beijing's speciality dish at a low price but I would recommend you go in a group.

It could have been a sad and solitary occasion, but instead a 78-year-old man who died alone in his Wellington apartment was surrounded by family when lowered into his final resting place.
Of the 20 who gathered at Kopuatama Cemetery just out of Stratford, Taranaki, only five or six had met James Grant.
Photos of the man known as Jim or Jimmy were also hard to find - the last known images of him were from Christmas Day 1954.
His body was found in his Mulgrave St apartment, near Parliament, on March 2. Police also found a Bible, his cat's ashes in an urn and a newspaper, which suggested he could have died in January.
Grant was given a funeral at The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Wellington and Harbour City Funeral Home director Simon Manning uncovered what he could about Grant, but it appeared he had no close family.
But then a breakthrough. Distant relatives saw media coverage and, after getting in touch with Manning, Grant's interment was organised for Saturday.
Sandra Collins, whose father Peter O'Neill was one of Grant's cousins, put together a booklet for the service and contacted far-flung members of the family so they could say goodbye.
"It's so nice to think that even though he spent the majority of his life in Wellington, he's home with his family," Collins said.
"He's in the right place."
Collins said paying their respects to Grant was a "nice feeling".
"It's unusual farewelling someone that you didn't know but it was the right thing to do. He did belong to somebody, he belonged to us, even though he perhaps chose not to be in touch with his family."
Manning was happy Grant's relatives came forward and he was buried in the family plot.
"From my perspective it's the perfect end to what could have been quite a sad situation."
Grant had a few friends, but most of them were from the days of the Wellington Workingmen's Club that closed a decade ago.
At 15 he joined the post office and spent the next 50 years there, working in Te Aro, Trentham and finally the Wellington Railway Station.
While his later life sounded lonely and sad, Manning said earlier this year his decades in the funeral trade taught him to keep an open mind.
"The important thing is not to judge him or his life. If he chose to live that way it's not sad for him, what he chose to do."

April 4, 2006
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) - Arkansas assistant Ronny Thompson was hired as Ball State's basketball coach Tuesday, the second son of former Georgetown coach John Thompson to run a Division I team.
Thompson replaces Tim Buckley, who was fired March 15 after a 10-18 season, the Cardinals' worst record in nearly two decades.
"It's going to take time, it's going to take hard work, and it's not going to be easy," Ronny Thompson said. "I've heard tremendous things about the support in the community and in the entire Ball State family. I want to win, and I want to win big."
Thompson's brother, John Thompson III, just completed his second season at Georgetown, where he led the Hoyas to the NCAA regional semifinals. Both his father and brother were at the campus news conference introducing Ball State's new coach.
Ronny Thompson, who turns 37 Friday, has spent the last three seasons at Arkansas under Stan Heath. Before that, he was an assistant at Georgetown for five seasons and worked as a scout for the Philadelphia 76ers during 1996-98.
Thompson also played for his father at Georgetown during 1989-92 and worked on Wall Street briefly before going into coaching. He also was an assistant at Oregon and Loyola before joining the 76ers.
Buckley was 143-139 in six years at Ball State, including this season when the Cardinals had a losing record for the third time in four years.

The marketing-savvy Platinum Guild International recently announced its newest focus—hearts.
PGI has launched a full-scale marketing program to promote platinum heart-themed jewelry. Armed with one of the classic favorite motifs of fine jewelry, PGI now aims to marry tradition to hipness.
Included in the marketing push is a celebrity tie-in called Women With Heart. This segment of the promotion has nabbed such stars as Gwyneth Paltrow, Britney Spears, and Charlize Theron to design one-of-a-kind platinum heart pendants that will be manufactured, displayed, and ultimately auctioned off for the celebrities' favorite charities.
The new program is the next step for PGI, which is credited with driving desire for platinum and putting it back on the map in the 1990s. With a firm foundation in the bridal category, PGI now hopes to move the metal into the non-bridal and fashion arenas.
PGI hopes to tie the significance of message jewelry and the message behind the heart into platinum's qualities of purity and rarity—the same equation that boosted the platinum bridal category.
"Over the last few years, we've seen a dramatic increase among women in their preference for platinum wedding jewelry, not only because of its unique look but significantly because of what it stands for in strength, purity, and rarity—qualities of their love that they want to symbolize in their rings," says Laurie Hudson, president of PGI-USA. "So platinum heart jewelry is a perfect choice for those women: A heart is timeless and shares all the virtues embodied in their wedding jewelry."

And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

I didn't celebrate National Burrito Day. I failed my brother by not posting an awkward picture of us on Facebook for National Siblings Day yesterday. I decided to see what holidays I've overlooked today.
You guys. We almost missed National Barbershop Quartet Day.
As much as I want to dive into what I'm sure is a lengthy history of barbershop quartets, I'm going to skip it. Instead, I'll share what I know of my own choir experience. I was in choir throughout high school. And, to ratchet up my cool points further, I was in show choir. We sang, and "danced," and had very expressive hand gestures (occasionally jazz hands).
I was (and still am) a second alto. See, there's first soprano (the girls who can hit the high notes), the second sopranos, the first altos, and the second altos. The second altos could hit the low notes. The really low notes. Mm-hmm. So, as you can imagine, we never had the melodies. We harmonized. In the murky waters of the bass clef, frequently.
We, the second altos, were not particularly popular in the land of the show choir elite. Our dynamics were hard to recognize. I don't know why I remember this, but I do recall singing this particular song:
Note: Our dresses were similar. We referred to the color as smurf blue. They were a bit shorter, though, to really draw attention to our sassy character shoes.
I tried to find somewhere that highlighted only the second alto portion, but came up empty. SAD. We added depth. We were the hidden notes of spruce in a glass of cabernet. We were those guys.
If you were wondering, the answer is yes. Most of the time, when I sing karaoke, I sing songs performed by men. Baritones, specifically.
Allow me to interrupt myself here. I'm writing because I need to reestablish my habit of writing. I didn't want to write tonight. But, if I skipped work every time I didn't want to go to work, I wouldn't have a job. I'm dialing it in tonight, and I know it. Humor me. I was somehow going to tie all this back into how much I love acapella groups and how Pitch Perfect is incredible, but the entertainment element has fled.
The truth is, I got next to no sleep last night. There are too many friends to count going through rough patches right now (looking at you, mercury retrograde and full moon and other astrological tomfoolery), and my daughter decided that 3:00 was the perfect time to wake up this morning. I'm running on fumes. I'm running on the fumes of fumes.
Tired children do not wind up sullen and cranky at bedtime the following night. Tired children wind up hyperactive and unfocused and flail-y. They have no filter. I'm about to put one of these tired children to bed. Pray for me.
And also pray for barbershop quartets. Because today is their day.

Report: SPIDER-MAN - Marvel Dominates BATMAN - DC in Licensing Revenue
While comic book fans often debate the monthly Market Share war between rivals Marvel and DC Comics in the comic book Direct Market, and global box office figures are there for all to consume, there's a whole different race going on that fans usually don't see — the revenue generated by licensed products.
And according to numbers that have surfaced from The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel wins … handily.
Licensing revenue generates billions of dollars for Disney and Warner Bros., but even the hottest licensed properties from DC are substantially behind Marvel's totals in licensing profits. Last month, Warner CEO Kevin Tsujihara acknowledged the difference, stating that if he could just close the gap by half, the studio would earn an additional $150 million a year in profits.
According to The Hollywood Reporter graphics, the gap between the two licensors is substantial — with Marvel gaining huge ground in licensed products in the last few years. Spider-Man leads the pack, according to data released by The Licensing Letter, with global retail sales in 2013 of $1.3 billion, and The Avengers brought in $325 million that same year. In comparison, the publication listed Batman, DC's most-licensed character, with global retail sales of $494 million in 2013 and Superman at $277 million.

Identify Learning Challenges at Home With a Tablet Device
If you have ever wondered what happens when your child goes to study,
could help you get the answer. This article has some information about using a tablet to identify your child's struggle areas.
You see them at almost every store that you visit: a tablet device. Whether it's made by a popular brand and comes with a hefty price tag or it bears the mark of a manufacturer you have never heard of and is priced so low that the store is almost giving them away with every bottle of laundry detergent you buy, these devices are everywhere.
Is Your Child Struggling With Their Homework?
In fact, the chances are that you likely have used or owned a tablet device yourself. While you likely see it as an entertainment device which satisfies your needs for TV and movies on the go, catching up on the latest sports scores, or even arranging your household budget, the device in your hand can also be used as a powerful learning tool. Believe it or not! If you are unsure as to whether your student could benefit from a tablet device or
you simply see them as an entertainment outlet
The Tutoring Center
, Arlington TX
has some information on how these devices can be used to identify any learning challenges your child may be having.
A Regular Study Session
Every parent wants to be as involved in their child's education as possible. However, with a limited understanding of some of the more complex lessons, it can be difficult to understand the lesson itself, let alone whether your child is correct or not. This can make it very difficult for a parent to identify any learning challenges or strengths, with regular study sessions going something like this:
Your child prepares to study for an upcoming exam using flash cards they made themselves.
They close the door.
There is some light mumbling to be heard.
They emerge at the end of their study time.
When asked about how it went, you receive a, 'fine', 'yeah', or maybe even just a grunt!
With this scenario, unless you have the ability to read minds, you have little to no knowledge of how well your child is studying or if they are struggling in any areas and not voicing their concerns. If your child struggles to recall important information during an exam or doesn't feel confident in their abilities as they enter the new school year,
tutoring in Arlington TX
can help. Speak with
The Tutoring Center
, Arlington TX
today by calling
During your free initial diagnostic assessment
, a trained professional can answer all of your questions about how
one-to-one tutoring in Arlington TX
works and how your student can benefit from regular
tutoring in Arlington TX
Now, keeping with the same scenario, let's include a tablet in their study session.
Your child prepares to study for a test or small exam using an app which creates digital flashcards with the traditional prompts and responses.
They close the door.
There is some light mumbling to be heard.
They emerge at the end of their study time.
When asked about how it went, you receive a, 'fine', 'yeah', or maybe even just a grunt!
They pass you their tablet.
You open the app and are provided with detailed and graphical information about the progress of the study session.
It's step seven which holds the real value. Some of the information that you may see includes:
How long your student actually studied for
How successful the session was
Which prompts required the most time to respond
Which prompts were the most incorrectly answered
Conversely, which prompts show positive results
Armed with this information, parents can gain a fuller understanding of how productive their child's study sessions are, and identify any learning weaknesses or challenges that your student is facing in order to address them promptly through additional learning or new learning techniques. Of course, these reports aren't all filled with bad news. Which aspects of study are your child's strengths is just as important as identifying their weaknesses. Once you are aware of your child's strong points you can speak with their teachers and teaching professionals about nurturing a natural talent or skill.

The Best Advice About Training I've Ever Written
Key Reasons Why Taking Cannabis Job Training Is a Wise Idea
Most people across the globe have had a lot of pessimism about marijuana but it is exciting to see many changing their thoughts about them. Most people have been thinking and taking cannabis as a product that cannot be helpful in the lives of individuals. However, as the technology advances, this has been disapproved in most parts of the world. After several studies done to support that marijuana products are beneficial in the life of human beings, it was found that the products extracted from the plants have a lot of benefits. One of the products extracted from cannabis is hemp that is used to make CBD oils. There are a number of ways you have used CBD oils knowingly or unknowingly like in calming the cancer infections, getting relieves from responsive challenges, pain relieving as well as curbing … Read more
