How long should a divorce take if we both agree?
How long will your divorce take in 2017?
The question "how long does a divorce take" is the second most frequently asked question our advisors receive over the phones after, "how much does a divorce cost?".
The divorce process in England and Wales is the SAME for every divorce case and unless there are complications, each undefended divorce goes through exactly the same process.
This, however, does not mean that every uncontested divorce takes the same amount of time to complete.
According to the government statistics, the average divorce took 33 weeks to complete in 2015, which was over 8 weeks longer than the average divorce handled by QuickeDivorce.
Updated as of 8th September 2017: The courts and regional divorce centres have now got up to speed with the backlog of work from 2015/2016 and are processing divorce cases much quicker.
The average divorce in 2017 with QuickeDivorce has taken 18-20 weeks from start-to-finish, which is nearly 8 weeks quicker than most other online providers or solicitors are reporting.
The Divorce Process you need to follow
As we've previously mentioned, the divorce process is largely the same for everyone regardless of which ground for divorce you choose to file for divorce.
Before you need to know how long the divorce process may take you to complete, it's worth knowing the actual process that needs following in order for you to receive your decree absolute.
Here's an overview of the divorce procedure in England and Wales;
- File a D8 Divorce Petition
- Responding to a Divorce Petition (Acknowledgement of Service by respondent)
- Application for Decree Nisi (Approx. 8 weeks)
- Application for Decree Absolute (Approx. 2 weeks)
This brief overview should give you a good idea of how long you should expect your divorce procedure to take.
QuickeDivorce can make sure that each stage of the divorce process is completed efficiently and thus ensuring that your divorce is completed as quickly as possible.
If my divorce is agreed will it be quicker
No, unfortunately being in agreement will not actually make your divorce quicker.
There are however things you can do to make it quicker and we at QuickeDivorce can reduce the time a divorce can take because of our use of technology and expertise in preparing and filing undefended divorces.
How long will my divorce actually take
If your divorce is not contested by your spouse, then we would be confident in getting your final decree within 24-28 weeks.
The amount of time it takes to get a divorce depends on several factors, including;
- How long your spouse takes to respond to the divorce petition that has been sent to the by the court, known as the acknowledgement of service.
- What grounds for divorce you are using to file for divorce, as if you don't know your spouse's whereabouts you will need to try and locate them through friends, family, social networks etc before you can file for divorce.
- How you chose to apply for divorce, e.g. if you chose to complete your own divorce papers and make any errors, this can increase the length of your divorce by 4-8 weeks. (Using QuickeDivorce guarantees that this doesn't happen to you)
- Although not essential to the divorce, reaching an amicable arrangement for your assets and finances can reduce the time it actually takes to get a divorce, but won't speed up the actual divorce process.
- How long you take to apply for the decree nisi and decree absolute (we are efficient at sending these documents to the court to help speed up your divorce).
- How efficient the court staff are at processing your application, which will depend on their workload at the time they receive your divorce papers.
Why does a divorce take so long?
The main reason divorce cases are taking so long in 2016 is because of the divorce process at court.
Divorces used to take a lot less time until 2015 when the Government introduced regional court centres.
In most parts of 2015, it wasn't uncommon for a divorce to finalise within 14-16 weeks, in fact, most uncontested divorce cases we handled did take that length of time to complete.
The intention with the new regional divorce centres is to have a limited number of centres that just deal with the divorce side of family law.
The result, however, has not worked out as intended and as a result has actually slowed down the divorce process.
Hopefully, this is just a bedding process. However, we are still considerably quicker than the majority of other firms providing this service, with the average divorce case in the UK taking 33 weeks.
How we can make your divorce quicker
- Technology – We use technology to speed up the longwinded admin side of the process.
- Trained and experienced staff – We only deal with divorce so our staff are trained to deal with all eventualities.
- Online case tracker – You can track the progress of your case online and request updates whenever you want.
- Secure email – We communicate directly with the court's staff via secure email to make getting updated quicker and easier.
I see other companies advertising quicker divorces
We know there are other companies who will tell you it takes 12 weeks or thereabouts, but they are quite simply lying to get your business.
Once you are in the process, they know you are not going to change companies and as they do not get repeat business, are not bothered if they have lied to you or not.
We are honest, open and above board on how long a divorce takes and we want you to have a realistic timescale you can work too.

Continue your journey as the legendary assassin, Daud, in Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches. Access Daud's weapons, gadgets, allies and supernatural abilities once more, and bring his twisted narrative that began with The Knife of Dunwall to a close.Read full description
Continue your journey as the legendary assassin, Daud, in Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches. Access Daud's weapons, gadgets, allies and supernatural abilities once more, and bring his twisted narrative that began with The Knife of Dunwall to a close.
After discovering the identity and intentions of Delilah, the leader of the Brigmore Witch coven, you set out to disrupt her from completing a powerful ritual that will spell your doom. Having already been betrayed by your lieutenant, Billie Lurk, you must rely on feuding gang factions—the Dead Eels and the Hatters—to negotiate your way through previously unseen districts of Dunwall en route to Delilah's stronghold. Regardless of the way you reach your destination, one thing is for certain – you will finally answer for your treacherous actions and fall before the mercy, or punishment, of the Royal Bodyguard and Assassin, Corvo Attano.
Key Features:
New Powers, Weapons and Gadgets
The mark of the Outsider empowers you with unique supernatural abilities. Quickly draw your enemies towards you and suspend them helplessly in air or use them as a human shield with 'Pull'. Call upon the Whalers to assist in combat with 'Summon Assassin' and track down hidden Runes and Bone Charms with 'Void Gaze'. To aid in your dangerous exploits your customized arsenal of weapons and gadgets will include Chokedust to daze your enemies, whale oil-powered Stun Mines to shock your targets, and a concealed Wristbow to launch sleep darts and explosive bolts.
Explore More of Dunwall
Make your way through Draper's Ward and explore its streets, hazardous sewers and the two rival gangs' home bases: the textile mills and the boat docks. Revisit the rotting Coldridge Prison, which you must infiltrate in order to free the dangerous but imprisoned leader of the Dead Eels gang. Finally, attack the gothic Brigmore Manor, where Delilah and her Brigmore Witches dwell and await your reckoning.
Choose Your Path
In your quest to thwart Delilah's plans, approach each mission with your own style. Your redemption – or your turn towards darkness – depends on your skills and the decisions you make. Determine your ultimate fate as you conclude Daud's journey in The Brigmore Witches.
Persistent Playthrough
Continue your journey from The Knife of Dunwall through The Brigmore Witches in the truest sense. Your power, weapon and item upgrades, Chaos level, and player actions from The Knife of Dunwall will carry over via a compatible save file option.

The Brigmore Witches, like the first DLC, has you exploring both old and new areas in the Dishonored world. The story is riveting and feels a lot more meaningful than in the Knife of Dunwall. I'd go so far as to say that I enjoyed this DLC more than the main game. Where I rated Dishonored a 9.5/10, I'd rate this a 9.8/10. If you loved Dishonored, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by skipping out on The Brigmore Witches.
Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches DLC follows up the story of the previous DLC: The Knife of Dunwall, and it's the last DLC of the game released, also a good ending to the first game, preparing you to Dishonored 2. After Daud decided the fate of Billie, he starts a new journey to end everything and leave dunwall and forget his life as an assassin. He must find a way to reach one of the other disciples of the outsider, a witch which fate lies in the hands of Daud. If you like the story and lore of Dishonored and the Knife of Dunwall DLC, you should get this and conclude Daud's story. Recommended.
The Brigmore Witches is the second story DLC for Dishonored. As in the previous DLC, we visit both the well-known locations and the new locations. I must say I had much more fun than in the Knife of Dunwall. The levels are more interesting and better thought out. Also, the story was more intense in this addon. I really recommend this one.
First part of this story (Knife of Dunwall) felt little rushed, but still was pretty good DLC with awesome new powers, good character with some fun locations and powers to play with. Here, though, there is no feeling of the dlc being rushed at all. 4 missions, pacing is perfect, conclusion is really good and sets things up for Dishonored 2... There is not much to complain, really, other than sub-menu game thing, because both parts of this DLC are not bundled together, instead both of them are separate game, which kinda sucks and destroys fluidity, because after finishing 1st DLC, you must quit to main menu of Dishonored and then select this chapter, wait for it to load, and then you can play it. Other than that, it is really great fun, locations are large and really fun to play, more challenging than vanilla version fo the game, which for me is improvement. Well, maybe last mission could've been longer and little harder, but it's still good. If Dishonored 1 felt like a way too short game, you should grab both parts of DLC, because amount of content in them feels nearly like a sequel/Dishonroed 1.5 (7 missions total). You will have great fun! Especially for this price.
Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches is a great little DLC for Dishonored, and builds upon The Knife of Dunwall to provide a great addition to the original story. Somehow, Brigmore Witches stands above the previous Knife of Dunwall, while not really doing anything different from a gameplay standpoint. Something about the environments, second half of the story, and ending just make the two parts into a great DLC altogether. Gameplay is the same, and continues over from the original and the first DLC. The settings/missions are very fun, and suitably challenging for stealth players. It is surprising, in the end, how well the story of the DLC matches up and impacts the original game. While not essential, I feel that DLC is really needed to get the whole story. As a side note, one possibly disappointing element to the The Brigmore Witches is that certain parts may not match up with how you specifically played the original game, depending on your choices. The Brigmore Witches is well worth the time for fans of Dishonored, and for those that just wanted more, whether that be story or gameplay.

41.3 percent of parents refused the vaccination on principle. Some parents (18 percent) asked that the immunizations be administered separately to reduce the risk of side effects... The study found that university-educated parents were 2.13 times more likely to refuse vaccinations compared to parents with a high school education. Jewish parents were 4.22 times more likely to refuse to have their children vaccinated compared to Muslims, and Christian parents were 3.29 percent more likely to refuse than Muslim parents
Environmental pollutants, especially environmental toxins (ET), may have the potential to disrupt neurodevelopmental pathways during early brain development. This study was designed to test our hypothesis that mothers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children would have less knowledge about ET and more chance to be exposed to ET than mothers with healthy children (MHC)... The current results show that reduced knowledge about ET and greater exposure to ET may be associated with autism spectrum disorder.
Vaccination rates among children insured by commercial health insurance plans have dropped four percent between 2008 and 2009, says a new report by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. In its annual State of Health Care Quality report, the organization revealed that vaccine rates are falling sharply among high-education families.

Annual operational planning is about to start for the coming academic school year at South Puget Sound Community College.
There are eight priorities on the list: the increasing student enrollment, student services, academic and learning support services, information system infrastructure, technology, marketing, administrative services, and institutional advancement.
College President Timothy Stokes said groups on campus will be asked about these priorities and what can be done to improve them during the meetings. He emphasized student success as being the overarching theme of the priorities.
For the 2012-2013 school year, the strategy for increasing student enrollment was to engage and retain students. The plan for enhancing student services was to empower the faculty and staff so they would want to improve student experiences at the school.
For the past school year, the administration planned to develop the Hawks Prairie campus, and to improve and update the technology at both campuses.
There was also the idea to rename the school, although that has not been put into place yet. The school wanted to increase funding from multiple sources for this past year.
By looking at these strategies, staff and faculty will brainstorm ideas for the coming school year and work to put them into place.
By the end of April 2013, the school plans to have all input gathered and reported. By the end of May, the president's staff will finalize revenue and share it with the College Council. Then, the president's staff will finalize the Operational Plan and Budget, aimed at improving their eight top priorities. In June, the board will adopt the budget for the coming year. In September, this information will be shared with all members of the school at the Fall Convocation.
The college still has to wait for the state legislature to pass a budget before they can know for sure what their budget will be.
The college will start a strategic planning process in the fall for the years 2014-2017. This is a new process for the college that is more comprehensive than the previous process, according to Stokes. "It is a significant change to our planning process, but one that will pay off in the long run," he said.
Stokes said this year's budget planning will influence next year's, but that it's too early to tell what exactly will change.

Poverty may be a touchy subject, but the journey to fight the issue doesn't have to be taken so seriously.
Across the country many people are celebrating Red Nose Day, a campaign that has been dedicated to helping children and have fun while doing so.
"We are working to raise money and awareness to get kids out of poverty," Ianto Kinsey, manager at the Walgreens in Roseboro, said. "This is just a unique and fun way for kids to get involved and help spread the awareness of the issues many kids face."
All proceeds from the campaign benefit children and young people in the United States and some of the poorest communities in the world. To date, the Red Nose Day event has raised more than $1 billion that is donated to the many charities the organization partners with across the world.
According to Kinsey, until June 4, for each Red Nose purchased, Walgreens will donate half of the cost to supported charities and for each Red Nose item purchased, Walgreens will donate 10 percent of the purchase price to the Red Nose Day fund, which helps lift children out of poverty.
Wednesday afternoon, Kinsey and four of his employees paid a visit to Roseboro Elementary School to distribute more than 365 red noses that were acquired through generous donations from the community. Kinsey talked with some of the students about the importance of promoting poverty awareness in children.
This is the second year the United States has been involved with Red Nose Day, something that has been done in the United Kingdom for the last 25 years. The Red Nose Fund, Kinsey said, is dedicated to helping children and having fun in the process.
The money that is given to the charities helps provide clean water and life saving medicines and vaccines, among many other items needed in the impoverished areas of the world.
A $1 donation can help provide a meal for a child living in a homeless shelter, $4 can provide an anti-malarial net to protect a mother and her baby and $5 can provide medical supplies for a doctor's visit on a mobile clinic.
Walgreens is on track to donate more than $20 million through this year's campaign. Since the end of April, Kinsey said the Roseboro location has been busy helping the cause, selling more than 600 red noses, but many donations have come into the store that will be donated towards the fund.
"Red Nose Day is a good way to show that people have a sense of humor, but care about coming together for a good cause," Kinsey said. "Just a small amount can have a huge impact on someone."
A live special will be broadcast on NBC tonight at 9 p.m. The Red Nose Day Special is a live two-hour primetime television event that brings together the biggest stars for a night of fun and laughs. For more information about Red Nose Day, visit rednoseday.org.

Carbon Pricing 2017
Last year, Washington voters rejected Initiative 732, which would have established an economy-wide carbon tax. This legislative session is considering three alternative carbon tax proposals. SB 5127, proposed by Governor Inslee, HB 1646, promoted by the Alliance for Jobs & Clean Energy, and a third bill sponsored by Senator Steve Hobbs of Lake Stevens. This session will discuss all four proposals, comparing the effectiveness with which each will reduce carbon emissions in Washington State and their ability to achieve equity for workers and highly impacted communities.

Working Group Meetings: 1:35 pm - 2:50 pm
Accelerating Electric Vehicle Adoption
Eliminating petroleum-powered personal vehicles is critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to acceptable levels. But most automobile manufacturers have huge investments sunk into internal-combustion powered cars and light-duty trucks. We can't afford to wait until car companies begin selling their electric vehicles as aggressively as they sell their pickup trucks and SUVs. The EVs on the market now can work very well for many car-owners, but EV market share remains tiny. This working group will focus on lowering barriers that prevent people from considering and choosing EVs when they are in need of a new vehicle. Our first project will focus on lowering the price of EVs by offering a group discount rate on vehicles available from dealers in Western Washington. We will also focus on lowering the costs of installing EV charging systems in homes and workplaces around the South Sound.

Healthy Energy Retrofits for Rental Housing: Tools and Solutions
50% of carbon emissions come from buildings, half of those are homes, and in Thurston County, half of the homes are rentals. While homeowners have a clear incentive to make energy efficiency improvements, landlords and renters face a split incentive (landlords pay for upgrades, renters get the savings) which makes the business case for healthy energy improvements difficult. After four years working with the County Commissioners, Thurston Thrives and Affordable housing providers, we now have an opportunity to crack this nut with a coalition of support. Fortunately, energy efficiency, incentives for business and affordable housing are issues with bipartisan support. The session will explore strategies for climate activists to help build a broad coalition to harvest this low-hanging fruit for slashing carbon emissions, by focusing on economic and public health messages.

De-Carbonizing Puget Sound Energy
Washington's energy future is at a crossroads. Will we invest millions of our hard-earned dollars into new dirty fossil fuel infrastructure that we do not want or need, or will we seize a once in a lifetime opportunity to accelerate the clean energy revolution? By July 2022, Puget Sound Energy (PSE), Washington's largest electric utility, must retire two units at its Colstrip coal plant in Eastern Montana. That means there will be 307 MW of electric capacity going off the grid that can be replaced with renewable resources like wind and solar. Unfortunately, PSE wants to throw this opportunity away by replacing Colstrip by with new gas plants. In fact, PSE wants to add 1,000 MW of new gas to Washington's electricity grid over the next 10 years. If successful, PSE's new capital investment will lock us into at least three more decades of fossil fuels. But the writing is not yet on the wall.Through a combination of public pressure and participation in regulatory proceedings, concerned Washington residents and PSE customers CAN stop PSE's plans to build a new fossil fuel foundation for our electricity system and force PSE to invest in safer renewable power sources and energy efficiency solutions. The "Decarbonzing Puget Sound Energy" working group will brainstorm how Thurston County residents can effectively block PSE from doubling-down on fossil fuels and outline a campaign plan for the next 6 months.

Afternoon Concurrent Sessions: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Opportunities and Threats in the 2017 State Legislative Session
Our panelists have been directly involved in every piece of climate-related legislation under consideration in the 2017 legislative session. We'll hear a report on the most up-to-date information available on legislation under review, as well as a review of what has gone well or poorly in the current session. This is the session for you, if you are eager to engage with your legislators about current and future opportunities for passing climate-friendly legislation and stopping damaging legislation from passing.
Rep. Beth Doglio, 22nd Legislative District, and Vlad Gutman-Britten, Climate Solutions
Direct Action on Climate and Clean Energy
With the failure of standard legislative and policy routes to adequately address climate disruption, a climate civil disobedience movement has risen over recent years. This session will track that rise and illuminate the role of direct action in turning around the climate crisis.
Michael Foster is one of the five valve-turners who shut off all tar sands pipelines in four states entering the US from Canada on October 11th, 2016. In total nine people are facing charges, trial and the likelihood of prison sentences. He will present a rationale for taking nonviolent direct action and answer questions on his action, which can be viewed on www.shutitdown.today.
How Values Can Lead You to More Effective Climate Communication
This seminar brings together two powerful streams of social science research, the groundbreaking work of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt and the rigorous public opinion research conducted by the Yale Center for Climate Communications. Haidt's brilliant research has shown how moral judgments lie at the very core of human cognition and furthermore that people vary in systematic ways in how they make moral judgments. Can we communicate about climate policy initiatives in ways that harmonize with our audience's moral framework? Can use a values-based strategy to avoid unnecessarily provoking negative reactions? We'll get that conversation started in this seminar.
Paul Elwood is an amateur philosopher with extensive professional experience as an investment analyst, most recently for the Washington State Investment Board, and as a program evaluation specialist for housing and income security programs.

Local Elections 2017
Many South Sounders concerned about climate change have recognized that, under the current federal administration, a local focus may be the most fruitful. Our local governments are regularly making policy decisions that impact current and future greenhouse gas emissions locally and beyond our geographic borders. In 2017, South Sound voters will elect city councilors in Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater and two Port of Olympia Commissioners. How can climate activists influence the outcome of these elections? Our panelists will get the conversation started, but who know where it will lead!
Sky Myers is a local theatre artist and political activist. Using agitprop techniques, her company, Frack Off Theatre Collective spotlights environmental issues and the global impacts of local policy. She also organizes the Port Action Team, a disappearing task force, committed to seeing the Port of Olympia turn over a new leaf.

As a personal trainer, I attend many health fairs and employee wellness events, and people always tell me the same thing: "I know what to do, I just don't do it." While a personal trainer can educate and inspire you to get into shape, they can't "motivate" you. Motivation, by its very nature, comes from within. Here are some favorite ways for people to motivate themselves to stick with their good intentions when it comes to healthy eating and fitness.
Don't Mess with the Classics
Old school methods work as well today as they ever did. Get a pen, an actual paper notepad and get to work. If you are a more "right brained" person, keep a journal of how you felt after your workouts and meals, and the emotional journey of getting in shape; you can even illustrate your entries! Try anything from hand drawn sketches to magazine clippings. A plain notebook is all you really need, but I also love Skinny Bitchin', a fun and lighthearted blank journal with healthy food and lifestyle tips by bestselling authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. If you're a more "left brained" person, keep a log of the exercises you did, complete with sets, reps, and weight, and a detailed food log. Dozens of good workout logs are on the market, but I recommend the simplest one you can find, as it's the one you are most likely to consistently use. A spiral bound set of 3 x 5 cards also works well.
Social Butterfly
Let your online friends know you are trying to get in shape, and share your progress on your Facebook wall or other social media. Or have a face-to-face social support by working out with a friend. Or try working out on your own, but getting together with other health conscious friends once a week at an organic restaurant to discuss your progress.
Tech Time
There are dozens of fitness tracker and food log websites, but my favorite site for reaching your fitness goals is not specific to weight loss or exercise. Joe's Goals ( http://www.joesgoals.com/ )
Living in a Material World
More and more research shows that percent body fat is more accurate and more important that weight on the scales. But what if you don't have access to body fat testing, or want to keep monitoring your progress in between testings? If you are not losing much weight on the scale, but your jeans keep getting bigger, this means you are reducing your percent body fat while retaining muscle, so that when you do arrive at your target weight, you will be firm and toned, not "skinnyfat." So give the scales to a friend and use your pants size instead! When your big clothes have outgrown you, pass them on to Goodwill or another local charity.

I love Max Lucado, but was disappointed that this purchase was just a sample of the complete book. Had I known that, I would have purchassed the book to begin with. Somehow B&N needs to make it better known to consumer that books that are samples are just that and not the complete books.
I, too, thought what I was buying was the book. Very disappointed to discover it was only a sample, and ended up spending more to actually get the book.
I would like to have known this was only 29 pages long.
A sample....not a book
Wow after read others i did not know this was a sampler not nice BN. One star for BN not the author
GOD'S STORY, YOUR STORY (Youth Edition) When HIS Story Becomes Yours By Max Lucado Max Lucado asks "what is the text (or story) of our lives?" We cannot look inside of ourselves to discover who we are, we must look at ourselves through God's eyes to discover what we can be! Ordinary people can do extraordinary things when we join our story with God's. But we must pray for strength against Satan's attacks so we can complete our story. The goal of every story is home, whether we are going home, improving home, or trying to keep home safe. This is much like the Christian life when we are striving for the perfect family and home, which can only be found with our Heavenly Father. To find the path we must listen for God's voice to lead us. God will never forsake us. Even if we make a wrong turn He will redeem our story through His on the cross. Because of the cross, the final chapter of our story - Death - becomes the introduction to our new life after death. At the end of this book are review questions about each chapter to help the reader to grasp the principles put forth by Max. Each chapter has personal experience pieces by teens to expand on the points Max is making. This is a well written book that teen readers should appreciate and learn from. This would be appropriate as a gift or as a study book for a youth group. Read it and discover the plot behind your story!
I, also, thought I was purchasing the complete book. This was a wasted purchase. I am sure the "real" book will be worth the purchase.
I was completely engrossed in this book from start to finish. This is Max Lucado's best book to date. I appreciated each and every story that was shared in the book, and I found myself near tears many times. I think the thing that struck me the most is that the emphasis of the book is that God is there in every single circumstance, and He is guiding you through the hard times. All of us go through struggles. Some of us live a life fraught with struggles. Does that mean that God is not in control? Absolutely not! There was a time I did not like Max Lucado. I used to feel that he did not dig deeply into the wisdom of the Scriptures. I am happy to report that is not longer the case! In recent years, Lucado has delved so deeply into the Word of God, and he always brings encouragement even in the midst of utter chaos. Everything happens for a reason, and everyone is here for a purpose. This is an easy read written in Lucado's fantastically readable style. You will find true encouragement as you surrender your will to the Lord of the universe! This book was provided to me free of charge in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated in any way, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
This is just a preview. I'm sure the book is great, but this is not the whole book. Don't buy this product thinking it is the whole book. This product is very misleading.
I took my time reading this and am glad i did. It has been uplifting.
Like all of Max Lucado's books, I really enjoyed reading it. He has a way of making me feel so much closer to the Lord and that is something that we all should be seeking. I recommend this book of everyone interested in seeking a relationship with the Lord.
I am so much of a fiction reader that I often scoff at non fiction and skip it. Reading books like this remind me that there is so much out there to benefit from. I was in sixth or seventh grade when I first experienced something from Max Lucado, but since then when I have seen his name on a book, I knew it would be worth while. And even more recently I have started adding his children books to my shelves for my girls. They are some of my toddler AppleBlossom's favorites. Christian Fiction can open doors and suggestions to topics and make you want to delve further into scriptures mentioned, but it is in the blunt and to the point - down to earth - non fiction writings like this when as a reader one can truly challenge themselves and really delve further. I enjoyed this book and it makes me do a lot of necessary thinking. My only qualm is that although several different scripture translations are used, The Message Bible is used a lot, and I have issues with paraphrase Bibles as I feel like they lose so much in the translation. Yet at the same time, maybe this is a seed to be dropped for some that will help them in their journey along the way. After all that's what matters.
Again Max Lucado has let God touch my heart through his words. I recommend this book to all new believers and to anyone making this most important decision.
B & N be honest with your customers. Dont sell a samle book as a full book. Bad bussiness on your part. Puts a black mark on Max. Bad form b&n
B&N has burned me for what I hope is the last time. If it sounds too good to be true, then it isn't a good deal. I do not have time to review every purchase. I was looking for this particular max lucado ebook . It was the first one that showed up in my search. Its a SAMPLE. I'll get it from the loical library now. Not gonna spend anymore $$ at B&N. I'm embarrassed to admit this has happenec to me several times. My fault for trusting and not being watchful. Misleading and disappointing. No more.
Love the way he writes .l have about 15 of his books all about Jesus .Love the Lord Jesus .He does to .Thanku Max

Welcome to St. Paul Lutheran Church!
If you've already visited us for worship, or attended another event at our church or school, then you've already got a general idea of who we are. But if you're just checking us out online, let us sketch out a few of the main things about our congregation that you'll want to know.
St. Paul congregation actually has TWO worship sites. We have a church and preschool just west of downtown Ann Arbor, and we have an elementary school and a second preschool on the east side of Ann Arbor, near Hwy. 23. Our three downtown services take place in our sanctuary, which has a traditional "churchy" architecture and an excellent pipe organ. But many of our members worship at the school site, where we set up our sanctuary every week in the gymnasium. Although it's not a traditional church building, the gymnasium is actually a comfortable place, and our worship atmosphere is much enhanced by the large mural that expresses the mission of our congregation.
Besides our 4 worship services, our elementary school and our preschool, the members of St. Paul are enthusiastic about studying God's word together. That usually doesn't take place in large groups, although there is a Bible study group that meets between the services downtown and after the service at the school. But our members like to meet in many small groups, in their homes, to learn together, to encourage one another, and to find ways to serve in the community together also. To see what's happening in the day to day life of our parish, check out the latest edition of the Unity, our monthly newsletter.

Muang Singh town was built between 857 and 1157 when the Khmer Kingdom was still prosperous. It was later abandoned until the reign of King Rama I when Muang Singh was rebuilt as a Kanchanaburi border town.
The only archeological site with a religious structure built in the middle of the city is the Khmer Prasat Mueang Sing (Tower of the City of Lions) where the heavy influence of the late Lop Buri arts is clearly visible.
The ancient site is located on a steep bank of Khwae Noi River where the waterway narrows and becomes fast flowing. The city walls, which were made of rectangular laterite, are approximately 800 meters in width, 1,500 meters in length and 5 meters in height.
The compound is believed to have been the westernmost outpost of the Angkor-centered Khmer empire. Remains dating back some 2,000 years have been discovered, and artifacts, including temple carvings, religious statuary and pottery shards indicate that the city must have been inhabited from approximately the 12th to 14th centuries.

I started really working with my students this week on understanding the concept of addition. We have been working all year on decomposing numbers, combinations of numbers, and all of those other fun common core standards, but I really wanted them to start to understand this week what happens when you add two numbers together, and to provide them with a visual of how addition makes things bigger!
I saw an idea for something similar to my math cups on pintrest, but I wanted to find a way for my kids to master the addition symbols and be able to write in numbers at the same time while using manipulatives! So I started creating my Math cups!
I started with an old student work station that you put up while kids are taking tests. We call ours offices. 🙂 I had one that was totally falling apart, so I cut off part of it, and just used the back. It was very sturdy!
Then I got some small cups that were sample cups from Starbucks. I have a lot of them in my supply closet because I use them for art! I cut the holes out of the bottom of two cups.
Then I started creating! I knew that I wanted my kids to be able to write on the back of my creation so I got out some of my laminated cardstock, which works perfectly with dry erase markers. In the beginning of the year, I laminate some extra white cardstock because sometimes I need blank white mini dry erase boards for random things in the classroom! I wrapped the cups in green cardstock, and cut out a plus sign and equal sign and taped everything together. The only part I needed to hot glue, was the plastic bin. I hot glued it to the bottom of my board to give it extra support.
Finally, I decided to add one extra piece of white cardstock for the kids to write on next to the equal sign, and my creation was ready for the kids!
When I used this with my kids in class, I called them up 3 at a time to create an addition problem. I had a container of snap cubes up at the front as well. I had one child pick the first number, and write it on top of cup number one. Then that child got to put the snap cubes through the cup! That was the fun part!
Then the second child got to pick how many snap cubes we would be adding on, and write in the next number!
Finally, the last kiddo that was up in the front had to count how many cubes were in the plastic bin, and write the answer!
You can see from the pictures that we did a couple of different problems, as the numbers are different in the pictures. I wanted to give as many kids a chance as possible!
Here's a few more pictures.
My kiddos had SOOO much fun with this!! I told them that we will use it next week during centers, and they were very excited!
I leave you with one more of my new math ideas for the week:
Now that we have passed the 100th day of Kindergarten, my kiddos count with me to the "last day" and their fun "Kinderbration" graduation ceremony! So I decided that they were ready to graduate from using straws on our pocket chart to using ones sticks, tens cubes, and even a hundreds flat. It's so cute to hear them say in the morning: "We need to add another ones cube!" Tomorrow we will trade for a tens stick, and they are very excited!
Have a great Friday everyone!! 🙂

Plans are finally under way for a new Senior Citizens Center in Altus. Citizens passed a sales tax issue in August 2008 to complete a variety of projects including a new City Complex, fire station and a senior citizens activity center. The City of Altus earmarked $1.5 million of the money to be utilized for the new senior citizens center. At the present time, seniors gather at the old Wilson School, but plans are finally being made for the new location.
The first proposed location for a new center was to be at the corner of East Commerce and North Grady (the old police station site). Numerous meetings involving the City of Altus, staff of the Senior Citizen Center, and the design team of Boynton Williams & Associates from Norman were held. Ideas were shared along with research, and a final decision was made. The new center would not be at the old police station site.
The Dr. Morris F. Foster Library, a 47-year-old building still in very sound structural condition, and shape, located on the Altus High School Campus, has been determined to be the new Altus Senior Activity Center location.
The City of Altus engineering technician, Phillip W. Beauchamp said, "The preliminary designs are under way, and we are very excited with our project."
The 8,000 sq. ft. building renovation will include a spacious new kitchen with a new cooking range and dishwasher, and will be fully equipped for food service. Beauchamp said that the staff applied for and received a grant to help purchase the kitchen equipment. The building will also get a back door leading out to a back driveway, thereby making it easier for the pick up and delivery of Meals on Wheels for home bound Seniors. They currently delivery about 70 meals a day.
There will also be a beautiful dining room to accommodate in-house dining. There are currently about 80 to 100 people that use the facility on a day-to-day basis. The new activity lounge will be fully carpeted and will have a fireplace. All bathrooms will be ADA accessible, and a designated area for physical activity will be included.
A major benefit of the new Altus Senior Activity Center will be the ease of access for front area parking off of Park Lane which includes handicap parking. The overall safety of the new site is a major benefit as well. The new site is also in close proximity to the swimming pool and the park.
Construction will begin in the Spring of 2016. The estimated time line for completion is Spring of 2017.
"Mayor Jack Smiley and City Manager David Fuqua were positively aggressive on their mission to get started on this project," said Beauchamp. Beauchamp also gave praise to Boynton Williams and Associates for their working professionalism.
"Everyone is very excited, and look forward to Seniors having a fresh new location for gathering," Beauchamp added.

Lecia Cornwall
Enchanted by the Highlander (Highland Fairy Tale #4)
Swerve / November 14, 2017 / $3.99 digital
Lecia Cornwall's latest in her Highland Fairytale series, Enchanted by the Highlander, is exactly that: Enchanting. The story flows, and the romance buds until the leads have their HEA. I found chills erupting all over my skin several times and it involved moments where the Hero, John Erly, and the Heroine, Gillian MacLeod didn't even kiss. You see, Gillian MacLeod is the shy MacLeod. The one whom all her sisters' feel they must talk for and protect. But beneath her shy façade is a woman capable of protecting herself, a woman who knows her mind, and until recently felt silenced.
Everything changes when she falls for John Erly, the Sassenach. Her father, the fearless Laird MacLeod of Glen Iolair, would never allow his daughter to marry an Englishman. Yet, that is who owns her heart. Though not because John pursues the lass. Rather, he tries in vain to avoid her, because he knows he's not worthy of her love.

Teenage 'God Squad' claims to have cured ailing people
A group of Australian children, known as the Pentecostal group Culture Shifters, claim they have instantly healed hundreds of people using the miracle powers of Jesus on Queensland streets
The group, which has children as young as 13, says it has healed people suffering from cancer and multiple sclerosis and is developing a large youth following.
Children from the group have been approaching people at random on the street, prompting alarm from parents and warnings from doctors for the sick to seek medical attention.
"Anyone who has a medical condition should always seek advice from their doctor,'' News.com.au quoted Dr Richard Kidd, President Australian Medical Association Queensland as saying.
Leaders, aged in their teens and 20s, claim they have also healed an entire football team's injuries, given hearing to a deaf woman and brought sight to a girl's blind eye.
Experts say faith healing has been on the decline globally but, in Queensland, it is attracting an increasing band of followers, who might be putting their lives at risk.
The 160-member Culture Shifters group from the Bridgeman Downs Christian Outreach Centre is led by Grant Shaw, 27, and his wife, Emma, 23.
The couple claim to have had a 95 percent success rate and to have healed more than 200 people in the past year.
Shaw denies that the street and church healings were used as a money grab and said no donations were collected from those who were healed.

Anyone know if you can get your DOT while out on short term disability (personal injury).
Depends on the STD. Syphiis yea because it can be cured. Herpes not so much because you can infect the drivers seat.
How the heck do you get hurt getting a STD? Sexual Twister?
The sheep kicks you in the knee.
Sounds like prom night
Robitussin cures herpies.
webmd.com has some good info, doesn't it?
Their is no cure of Herpes. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Herpes Encephalitis is fatal.
"Herpesviral Encephalitis can be treated with high-dose intravenous aciclovir. Without treatment, HSE results in rapid death in approximately 70% of cases; survivors suffer severe neurological damage. When treated, HSE is still fatal in one-third of cases, and causes serious long-term neurological damage in over half of survivors. Twenty percent of treated patients recover with minor damage. Only a small population of survivors (2.5%) regain completely normal brain function.Earlier treatment (within 48 hours of symptom onset) improves the chances of a good recovery. Rarely, treated individuals can have relapse of infection weeks to months later. While the herpes virus can be spread, encephalitis itself is not infectious. Other viruses can cause similar symptoms of encephalitis, though usually milder" Wikipedia
Damn Dave lied to me. I better get checked out.
Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is a rare, but severe viral infection of the human central nervous system. It is estimated to affect at least 1 in 500,000 individuals per year. The majority of cases of herpes encephalitis are caused by herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), the same virus that causes cold sores. 57% of American adults are infected with HSV-1, which is spread through droplets, casual contact, and sometimes sexual contact, though most infected people never have cold sores. About 10% of cases of herpes encephalitis are due to HSV-2, which is typically spread through sexual contact. About 1 in 3 cases of HSE result from primary HSV-1 infection, predominantly occurring in individuals under the age of 18; 2 in 3 cases occur in seropositive persons, few of whom have history of recurrent orofacial herpes. Approximately 50% of individuals that develop HSE are over 50 years of age.
I'm sorry you got a std man.
Me love you long time. STD love you longer.
Too bookoo! Too bookoo!
15 dolla for bote of us.
Ohhh. Your doing movie quotes.
Im sorry, I was speaking of my personal experiences with Asian women.
Carry on.
Still need one of these before I die lol
All Good Kids Like Asians
If you have herpes it will be with you for the rest of your life. There are treatments wich can suppress the symptoms and outbreaks. Get enough rest, healthy eating habits, beware of stress.
Eventually they will find a cure.

Most Anticipated Horror Games 2014
Scary Halloween Party Ideas. New trends sweep through and dominate, die out, and are revisited years later if the original thrill is restored. However, the brain also gets older as your body and its function relish and maintains frequently wanes. And I could think of plenty, but, for some reason, I've got nothing right now. However, the scariest part is never to determine that things need to become done so as to prevent and cure it.
One of the very interesting reasons for having zombie over the years, is the actual fact that originally, on this film, zombies were depicted as very slow moving creatures. Technology opened the entranceway for horror. What is Hell.
Well, let me break something to you. Technology opened the doorway for horror. It's a long one, but worth watching. Do something which takes you from the jawhorse if only to have an hour.
Find in this disturbing reversed Jingle Bells audio clip of the classic Christmas song. In doing so most of these have had the snot scared out them and its no wonder when tales of screaming voices yelling for the kids "to get out" or wondering ghostly children who lurk behind every twist and turn on the 3rd story floor wait patiently for the right moment to strike.

what I am saving my money for. It hurts to think how much harder that must be. But, what freaks me out the most is that, in essence, the entire World of Wilikin village was abandoned by Kaos, according for the npc dialog. Yes, pink-cheeked Rosemary is all about to have the devil's baby--except the father will be the Devil himself, not the deuce she married.

Erik Kratz gives Royals much-needed backup
Pretty much the worst news the Kansas City Royals could hear would be that "Salvador Perez is coming out of the game." However, with catcher Erik Kratz available to come off the bench, the Royals aren't doomed without Perez, who otherwise comes close to being irreplaceable.
Kratz came though with two home runs against the Minnesota Twins on Monday night after Perez came out because of a right knee injury, helping the Royals win 6-4 and increase their first-place lead in the American League Central. Kansas City's 69-55 record is the same as it was in 1985, also the most recent time the Royals made the playoffs and won the World Series.
It's also not often players come off the bench and hit two home runs:
Erik Kratz hit 2 HR in game he didn't start. Only other AL players to do that in last 4 seasons: Matt Joyce 9/29/12 & Raul Ibanez 9/22/12
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) August 19, 2014
Perez reportedly has a "pinched" patella tendon, though there's no structural damage to the joint, the Kansas City Star quotes Royals manager Ned Yost as saying. It still sounds ominous, mostly because Perez leads the league in innings played among catchers, and has been Kansas City's second- or third-best hitter, after Alex Gordon.
Mostly a backup in Philadelphia and Toronto the past 2 1/2 seasons, Kratz came over from the Blue Jays with pitcher Liam Hendriks just before the trade deadline, and was considered insurance policy for Perez, who started for the AL in the All-Star game.
Kratz's first homer, on a broken bat, came against Anthony Swarzak in the seventh. His second, against Ryan Pressly in the ninth. Hitting two home runs in just his sixth game for the Royals means general manager Dayton Moore's insurance policy has paid off already:
"That's one of the reasons we got him," Yost said. "We knew that he had power."
But did the Royals also know that Kratz is one of Major League Baseball's most foremost turkey bacon advocates?
Beyond breakfast, Kratz says the life of a backup catcher is simple: You've always got to be ready to play, even if it doesn't actually happen for days. From the K.C. Star:
His role is unique. Perez is a fixture in the lineup. His off-days are rare. But Kratz still insists on staying fresh each evening.
"You put your work in before the game as a bench guy to be ready to go in," Kratz said. "Some people could say 'Well, Salvy plays every day. So why not take a day off?' My opinion is: What's the point of taking the day off if that's the day you might come in and play."
The morning after, Yost said it's likely Perez will be OK after a couple of days to rest.
Ned on S.Perez: "I don't expect him to be down for long. His knee was completely stable & in good shape. Looking at a day or two max"
— MLB Network Radio (@MLBNetworkRadio) August 19, 2014
Kratz will be ready for that, too.

FIRE AWARE: Some bad sellers had been selling those scooters for very cheap below 230 usd free shipping. Many of them use home made components without certification. They fake the certification with Photo Shop, use nice packing and put fake stickers.
Cheap version of scooters brake easy an in the worst case burn in fire. So never buy the cheapest ones because they will be the most expensive. Keep safe.
- Don't drop it.
- Don't speed.
- Use Helmet and additional protection
- Don't let small kids use it
- Keep it out of humid enviroment.

- Anti-scratch Wheel Rim Technology of 3M pads.
- Your own country Charger! (Note that UK stock only has UK plug! If you need an adapter ask us and we will send one for free)
Dear customers, kindly note Aliexpress estimated time is just this, and estimation and comes by default, sellers we can not change this.
Shipping Items with Big Lithium batteries from China by aircargo Curriers like DHL/Fedex/UPS is nothing easy for strict regulations, so delivery often delays.
In normal conditions expect this schedule after shipping:
- From China: 10-15 working days (NO weekends or holidays included)
- From Local: 3-5 working days
Note: Shipping from China the tracking number may take one week or more to start working after label is created. The reason: It's an local tracking number, not Chinese, and it needs UPS/Fedex pick it up from their agent's warehouse after succefully imported.
UPS/Fedex they don't want to expose their own planes for dangerous bad quality scooters than some bad sellers do, this year some planes got fired for the same reason, (so never buy the cheapest ones) so they use agents to export and import.
Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation ^^

Hollywood hasn't been shy in its condemnation of President Donald Trump. Actors and other celebrities created PSA videos, made award show speeches, and attended numerous protests and rallies.
So, Independent Journal Review took a look at Tinseltown before January 20, 2017, to find out just how much distance has been placed between the White House and the Hollywood sign.
On Season 4 of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," Donald Trump was serenaded with applause and cheers as he stepped through the doorway and into camera view.
Although another actor now mocks the president almost weekly on "Saturday Night Live," it doesn't appear to always have been that way.
On October 8, 1999, Donald Trump and his future wife Melania posed with Alec Baldwin at the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Benefit.
In 2017, Tiffany Trump was faced with fashion mean girls when some editors moved their seats at the Philipp Plein show during NYC Fashion Week, so they didn't have to sit next to her.
However, if you rewind about seven years to the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2011 runway show, you'd find the Trumps in the first row.
During the pilot episode of the hit show, "Sex and the City," Samantha Jones used Trump's name to positively characterize Carrie's future love interest, Mr. Big.
Later in the series, Donald Trump even made a cameo.
On December 5, 2012, the Trumps joined the Hilton family in attending the European School Of Economics Foundation Vision And Reality Awards in New York City.
Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue and a Clinton supporter, met with President Trump after the election:
However, their post-election meeting was hardly the beginning of the friendship.
In 2012, Trump proudly supported his good friend in the possibility she'd be given an ambassador position. Us Weekly reported that he said:
"I don't view it as a favor. I think this is a favor to the country. She's a very capable person, a very good friend of my wife Melania and mine, but a very, very fine person and she's tough and she's smart and she gets it."
Actress Lena Dunham was a staunch supporter of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
But, in a 2013 episode of the show "Girls," which she co-produced, one character encouraged her boyfriend to go see the future president speak.
In the scene, a character named Shoshanna told another character, Ray:
"The learning annex is doing a 3 day seminar on entrepreneurship and on the last day Donald Trump is speaking and I totally think you should do it. It's like, $139 which sounds like a lot, but is actually totally worth it since they teach you how to be a millionaire."
When Ray asked for clarification that Shoshanna wanted him to go see Trump speak, she gave an emphatic "yes."
According to The Daily Mail, musician Sir Rod Stewart spent some "carefree" days at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump.
Stewart reportedly said Trump isn't "made to be president," but claimed his politics are separate from their friendship.
However, one of the biggest revelations in how blurred the line between personal and political has become is the friendship between the Clintons and the Trumps:
Daughters Ivanka and Chelsea have been friends for years. And the Clintons attended a Trump wedding, just as the Trumps did when Chelsea was wed.
A quick Google image search reveals Donald Trump on a slew of red carpets, surrounded by celebrities.

A time clock is a mechanical device that allowed employees and employers to take note of the hours that the employee worked each day. Virtually every business would have a system that was similar prior to the 1990's. The time clock was used to track when an employee arrived and when he left for either lunch or the day. Through the use of the time clock, employers have the ability to know when the individual was working and then to calculate how much time he had worked. This then would determine his pay for the day.
The machine itself that is known as the time card, worked fairly simply. Each time an employee would come in for the day the employee would slip a card into the time clock. The paper or card was thick and heavy to withstand use. It had marks and locations for each type of entry to be used. A space for coming in and a space for going out were usually labeled on the card. An employee would slip the card in and the time clock would punch the date and time onto the card in the right location.
This simply machine was used for quite a few years, actually, in different versions. Today, instead of a time clock mechanism, there are computer based time clocks that provide employers with a record of when an individual comes to work and goes home for the day. Today, many businesses use a computer tracking system in one of several ways.
