Billowing in the night sky, flames engulf a canal boat before totally destroying it following a suspected arson attack.
Fire crews found the moored barge ablaze in the water shortly after midnight and used jets to tackle the inferno, but the vessel could not be saved.
Watch manager Neil Aylett said the owner had only recently bought the boat.
He added: "Thankfully there was no one on the boat when it set alight, the fire was quite difficult to access because the site is being developed and we had to run hoses all the way from the main road to reach the blaze.
"We were assisted by a boat crew from our Water Incident Unit, who were in the water to keep us safe while we were working by the water's edge. We think this fire may have been deliberate. Police officers were at the scene with us and are investigating."
The blaze broke out at New Islington Marina in Ancoats, near Manchester city centre, on Friday morning, according to the Manchester Evening News.
This month the area has suffered from a series of muggings and attacks on residents, and another canal boat was vandalised in early August. It is not yet known if the latest barge fire is connected to other crimes in the area.

"Culture of Protest" host Prof. Dick Flacks says of tonight's broadcast:
"Republicans want to claim Lincoln's legacy, and even celebrate the February birthdays of Ronald Reagan and Abe Lincoln in tandem. Lincoln was a founder of the party, but that was in the name of anti-slavery. This week on 'Culture of Protest' we observe the Reagan centenary and Lincoln's birthday in our own fashion. Reagan inspired a host of satirical song which we'll sample. Our musical tribute to Lincoln features his words that emphasize equality and identification with labor and the common people. 'Reagan was for the rich man,' according to blues singer Louisiana Red."
"Culture of Protest" airs Thursdays in the Winter from 6-7pm.

Allow your inner critic to build relationships to reflect on the single choices but also that choice in relationship with your classroom's physical and digital environment.

Some stuff I'm reading this week...
Cory Doctorow: willing science fiction into fact | Books | guardian.co.uk
"A society that doesn't protect unpopular ideas is one that is probably doomed."
Lessons from India in gender politics. - By Ray Fisman - Slate Magazine
In a study currently under review, Anderson and Flynn report that while both Howard and Heidi were rated as equally competent (they were the same person, after all), students described the female version of the character as overly aggressive, and were much less likely to want to work with or hire her. So the decisive, assertive traits that are often valued in leaders are received very differently when observed in women than when seen in men. Howard was a go-getter. Heidi was unlikably power-hungry.
The Feminine Critique - New York Times
Catalyst's research is often an exploration of why, 30 years after women entered the work force in large numbers, the default mental image of a leader is still male. Most recent is the report titled "Damned if You Do, Doomed if You Don't," which surveyed 1,231 senior executives from the United States and Europe. It found that women who act in ways that are consistent with gender stereotypes — defined as focusing "on work relationships" and expressing "concern for other people's perspectives" — are considered less competent. But if they act in ways that are seen as more "male" — like "act assertively, focus on work task, display ambition" — they are seen as "too tough" and "unfeminine."
Is There Anything Good About Men?
First, culture relies on men to create the large social structures that comprise it. Our society is made up of institutions such as universities, governments, corporations. Most of these were founded and built up by men. Again, this probably had less to do with women being oppressed or whatever and more to do with men being motivated to form large networks of shallow relationships. Men are much more interested than women in forming large groups and working in them and rising to the top in them.
Bias Study Sees Few Gains for Female Leaders | workforce.com
Multiple research studies show that men and women exhibit similar leadership styles, according to Catalyst. Another "double-bind" dilemma, the group says, is that female leaders face higher standards than male leaders and are rewarded with less. Then there's the "competent but disliked" quandary, Catalyst says. "When women exhibit traditionally valued leadership behaviors such as assertiveness, they tend to be seen as competent but not personable or well-liked," Catalyst said in a summary of its report.

En-gendering the next great Web Retail revolution? - broadstuff
Women represent a good half of the number of users of the web and even more on social networks.
They make over 80% of all real world consumer purchases and according to a recent survey conducted by Mastercard run across 7 countries recently, women now shop more online than men – though they spend less. Some of the reasons for this being security issues and bad website design.

Guess who was rated significantly less competent than all the others? Yup, the angry female CEO. Brescoll noted that the group said they viewed angry females as significantly more "out of control."

8 Experts Predict How Web 2.0 Will Evolve In 2009 | Radical Tech | Fast Company
2008 was the year that Web 2.0 became more mainstream. More ad agencies, businesses, and non-profits used Web 2.0 tools as a way to build community and relationships, cross promote products and issues, and integrate their online and offline marketing strategies. Some like Zappos were extremely successful and nailed their Web 2.0 strategy while others like the makers of Motrin were burned by mommy bloggers for not doing proper research on their target audience.

It has been a career-defining year for Simona Halep. The 27-year-old has enjoyed her top-ranked perch since winning her first Grand Slam at the French Open in June, but all that is under threat. Battling a bad back and a four-game losing streak, Halep of Romania is racing to heal in time for the WTA Finals in Singapore, Oct. 21-28, to defend her No. 1 ranking. This conversation has been edited and condensed.
This has been a big year for you.
It's been the best year in my career, winning a Grand Slam. Being No. 1 is great, but it is even better to win a Grand Slam. The Australian Open was also a great experience for me. I pushed my limits and saw that everything was possible. I saw that I'm strong and can push myself very hard. I think that tournament helped me believe that I can win one of the biggest tournaments. At the beginning of the year, after Melbourne, I just felt I was really able to win a Grand Slam.
Consistent play has been one of your defining characteristics this year. How have you managed to maintain that level of play?
I've enjoyed it more this year. I haven't been putting negative pressure on myself. If you do that, you can't handle anything. I've been through that before coming in the top. But with experience and tough moments, I learned that if you enjoy it more, and take every tough moment and tournament that you have to defend as a challenge, it's much better.
Has mental fitness been a key to this year's success?
Over the last year, I have worked with a psychologist. I work hard on the thinking part. At this moment and at this level, everyone is playing very well. So, I try to get mentally stronger. My psychologist told me I have to control my emotions and be more positive.
She's taught me to stop the negative thoughts during the matches with some exercises. That's helped me make an improvement. My problem is that I'm negative — I come from Romania. Romanians are a little bit negative in thinking. Everyone knows that. That's normal here.
That positive thinking must be important now more than ever since announcing that a recent M.R.I. scan revealed a herniated disk, threatening your ability to finish the year with your No. 1 ranking.
I'm really positive in this moment, even with the injury. I feel the pain, but I'm confident that with exercises, recovery and physical therapy, that it's going to be O.K. I will not stop playing tennis.
How frustrating is it to feel the limitations of your body when playing with an injury?
It's tough to play with an injury. It was really difficult to play in China because I didn't know what I had. I was stressed and worried. But now that I know what is dangerous and what is O.K. to do, it's easier for me to step on the court and to play my best. Every injury is tough, because mentally and physically you try to protect one part of your body and you use the others more. So, you can get more injuries.
Now that you know it's a herniated disk, are you less stressed?
I just saw another doctor today, and he told me that I am free to play. The problem is there, the disk has moved. But it's not that dangerous. It's not moving day by day. It's fine. Exercises to make the muscles stronger in that area can push the disk back or just keep it where it is. It's not that bad. There's no risk in further damage. I have to do my rehab where I'll work on my core exercises and get massage therapy. No tennis. I'll wait until the tournament for that.
How motivated are you to play in the WTA Finals and finish the year at No. 1?
I'm 100 percent motivated. It's my biggest goal. I'm going to give everything I have in this period to finish No. 1. I can do better than last year. It's going to be great.

1) Tell us about your accident. How has that affected your writing?
I've been asked this on more than one occasion, and the answer is honestly "not much". Folks have asked me if I plan to write a story about a killer tree, which always makes me laugh. The only way the whole horrible experience affected my writing: while I was out of work for 9 weeks I got soooo much writing done! So there's always a silver lining.
2) If you could live during any era in any land, real or imaginary, where would it be and why?
What a great question. I'm gonna say during the days when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Just so I could sit back in a cave, watch 'em walking around fighting and stuff, and the ten-year-old in me could just keep saying, "Cooooool!"
I should add that I'd only want to visit. Can't say I'd wanna live there for more than a day or so. But, yeah — the big kid in me would get such a kick out of that for a while.
3) Do you write every day? Would you still write if you didn't need to make money?
I'm ashamed to say that I don't write every day. I know I should. My favorite writers recommend it and some of them claim they don't even take off holidays. I admire the hell out of that. I wish I had such discipline, but I don't. Not sure I ever will.
I would still write if I didn't need the income, definitely. Writing isn't my full-time job anyway. I like a regular paycheck every week, and I like having insurance. Writing is enjoyable, but for now it's just supplemental income for me. Sometimes it's very, very good supplemental income, but I'm still nowhere close to my fiction being enough in and of itself to put food on the table and keep a roof over my family's heads. That said, even if writing didn't pay I'm sure I would still do it. Because I love it. And I love knowing there are people out there who dig my work. In fact, that might be the best thing about it. I guess I'm an egomaniac, as far as that's concerned. I think all writers are, at least a little bit.
4) What are the next three books you're planning to read?
Not sure what the next three will be, as I rarely think ahead and usually just grab something on a whim. But I'll tell you what I'm reading at the moment. A ton of stuff, mostly revisiting old faves: Richard Matheson's HELL HOUSE . . . that old anthology THE SKIN TRADE by Stephen King, Dan Simmons, and George R.R. Martin . . . Junji Ito's UZUMAKI manga . . . VAMPYRRHIC by Simon Clark (remember when vampires used to be scary?!) . . . and a re-read of King's IT for a series I've been writing with Kit Power (I invite readers to check that out and join in on our discussion here: http://www.gingernutsofhorror.com/9/post/2014/07/james-kit-ant-it-part-1-the-shadow-before.html).
5) What is your favorite meal?
This one's easy. Doesn't matter what entree it is specifically, but my favorite meal is any time my wife makes Mexican. My mouth starts watering just thinking about it!
6) What five people would you invite to a dinner party? Language and time is not an obstacle.
Jesus Christ. No one else. I'd want Him all to myself for a few hours, 'cause I'd have so many questions. And if anybody else was there I'm sure they'd just try to speak for Him.
7) Are you handy around the house?
Nope. Something needs fixing, I have to ask for my dad's help. It's pathetic!
A few years ago a guy at my day job made a comment, something to the effect of, "Give James a pencil and a piece of paper, he'll impress the hell out of you. But give him a screwdriver, he's completely useless."
To which I replied, "Yep. That's totally fair."
8) Who would you like to co-author a book with?
I think my "voice" would gel really nicely with that of my favorite author, Joe R. Lansdale. That would be so much fun. I can dream . . . .
9) Is there something that you hope to accomplish in the near future?
I just hope I can continue to write stories that keep my fans turning the pages. That makes me happy. If you had told me 15 years ago that one day I would have fans, people who weren't my immediate family telling their friends about my books and pleading with me to write more, I would have called you insane. What a great feeling. That's success, as far as I'm concerned.
10) How do you want the world to remember you?
As a good guy, a humble guy who wrote stories that made the reader forget he or she was staring at words on a page.
I've been called the "Nicest Guy In Horror" a few times. I like that. I'll take it. A fellow could certainly be called so much worse.
I'll add my vote to the "Nicest Guy in Horror" moniker. Thanks so much for taking the time to visit Cat After Dark, James! My door is always open to you; please come by and let me know whenever you have a new book.

text: For a second there, we were starting to think that everyone loved Jimmer Fredette. Prisoners. Mormon chicks. Kevin Durant. Shiiiiiiieeeet! But lest Jimmer get too comfortable with all the love, here's a news flash he's not gonna like: NBA scouts aren't thrilled with his game. In a recent story—posted on NBA.com no less!—Fredette gets called out for being unathletic, slow, a shitty defensive player, a one-dimensional player, and...well, you get the point. "You just have to know what you're getting," says one scout. "I think he's almost invincible defensively," says a fellow scout. "I'd rather build my franchise around Adam Morrison than draft Jimmer," adds another. Okay, okay—we made that last one up. But, damn. Can the kid please enjoy his last year of college before NBA folks start taking shots? [via NBA]

More about the SDI experience
Focus on Jesus Christ
At Ballet Magnificat!, we seek to honor Jesus Christ and make Him known to the widest possible audience through the medium of dance. How do we accomplish this at our Summer Intensive? We begin each day with praise and worship and an opportunity to hear personal testimonies from Ballet Magnificat! staff and professional company members. We have a worship service on Sundays on campus with praise and worship and speakers giving a message. We do not take students off campus to services at the various local churches.
Also, all students are assigned to small groups of 10-14 students and a counselor. These small groups meet for Bible studies in the evenings. Students often find that treasured friendships are formed in their small groups as they are able to discuss and learn with others their own age.
Creative Worship sessions take the dancer from the classical setting and allow them to use dance and creative talents as a worship tool. Students are encouraged to use their dancing as an expression of adoration to the Almighty Creator.
Ballet Magnificat! is an inter-denominational ministry. Our members attend a variety of churches including Presbyterian, Southern Baptist, and non-denominational charismatic. It has always been our policy not to encourage one denomination over another, but rather to respect one another's choice of worship and to celebrate our common faith in Christ.
What are People Saying?
My daughter attended the Summer Dance Intensive for the first time in 2018. She has made lifelong friends, has new "heroes" in many of the company dancers, and has seen how her faith and passion for dance can work together in the future. As a parent, I am beyond grateful for the confidence and instruction, spiritual and dance-based, that Ballet Magnificat! has provided her.
Jane- Mulberry, TX

Kileigh- LaRue, TX
My daughter has attended Ballet Mag's SDI the last 2 summers. This year she did the 4 week option. She has grown so much, not only as a dancer, but spiritually as well. Ballet Mag has taught her how to make worship an intricate part of her daily life using the gifts God has given her! Marianne- Knoxville, TN

This proposal seeks to capture and enlarge both the drama of Fugui Cape and bustling commerce of the Fugee Port. To preserve cape landscape, we propose locating the substantial new facilities for the port under an arti cial hill, allowing unobstructed views of greenery and sea, not of a sea of cars and the backs of shops and buildings.
The low pitch of the hill would ease walking and a series of cuts would make traversal easier still. Sloped south, the hillside could accommodate lush greenery as well as a series of structures, including, perhaps, an exhibition of historic architecture brought from around the region. At the crest of the hill, a continuous pathway would offer an overlook with views of the port and sea.

One year and two days ago, the Rangers signed blue-chip free-agent centers Scott Gomez and Chris Drury to long-term contracts worth more than $7 million per year.
Yesterday, the Rangers essentially turned the team over to them and to Henrik Lundqvist on a day two of this free-agent season in which much of the recent past was left behind, even if not necessarily by design.
The Rangers wanted Mats Sundin. He put them and everyone else on hold. They wanted to keep Jaromir Jagr on their one-year term. That never became a realistic possibility. They wanted Marian Hossa, and believed they had an outstanding chance of bagging the market's featured winger, but the Pittsburgh rental elected instead to take a one-year contract from the Red Wings.
They wanted to keep Sean Avery, but not really, and yesterday morning declined the opportunity to match the four-year, $15.5M contract he signed with Dallas. Given that the contract includes a no-move clause, it ultimately became the right thing to do.
And so, with options on the market all but exhausted and the team lining up as the ultimate in helicopter squads (no wings), the Rangers instead pulled off a trade with Columbus, acquiring the very talented but equally erratic and thus far underachieving 23-year-old right winger Nikolai Zherdev (and throw-in pivot Dan Fritsche) for Fedor Tyutin – a third-pair D following the addition of Wade Redden – and Christian Backman.
"It's going to be on Chris and me now, and that's what we wanted when we came to New York," Gomez said by phone yesterday from his home in Alaska. "If I'm playing with Zherdev, it's going to be up to me to see that it works, and I'm up for it.
"We're going to go be an in-your-face team that moves and pressures the puck. I've been talking to Chris and he feels exactly the same way I do.
"We're ready for the responsibility."
Zherdev, selected fourth overall by the Blue Jackets in the 2003 Entry Draft, recorded 61 points (25-36) last season. He has immense ability. There are, however, overriding questions about both his work ethic and ability to get along in the room.
It's asking a great deal of the Rangers to incorporate a project whose success will be critical to the team, and asking even more of Gomez and Drury to assume the role of guidance counselors.
Did anyone say, Brendan Shanahan?
Not yet, though neither the team nor Shanahan has excluded the possibility of a reprise. With Zherdev accounting for merely a $2.5M hit and Fritsche on a $787,500 qualifier – Tyutin was at $2.875M and Backman at $2.3M – the Blueshirts have scads of cap space.
The Blueshirts not only are still shy a top-line winger – there are ongoing discussions with the faded Markus Naslund, who is also being sought by the decimated Penguins – but the current construction places an enormous burden on Ryan Callahan, Lauri Korpikoski, Nigel Dawes, Petr Prucha and Artem Anisimov to produce beyond their experience.
The trade of Tyutin leaves the team seeking another defenseman after unaccountably allowing free agent Brooks Orpik to slip through their hands.
Orpik, who would have been a perfect fit, re-signed with the Penguins yesterday after talks with the Blueshirts somehow evaporated.
Dimitri Kalinin, the Buffalo free agent, is among those on the radar screen.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Senior Brianna Belo became the first American University women's track & field student-athlete since 2015 to earn a spot on the outdoor Academic All-Patriot League squad, the league office released on Wednesday.
This is the first academic all-league nod for the Philadelphia-native, who holds a 3.21 cumulative GPA as a public health major. Belo will continue her education at AU as she pursues her M.A. in health promotion.
Belo is coming off a successful weekend at the Patriot League Outdoor Track & Field Championship meet, including her third conference title in the 800-meter run. Belo led the field from the gun, battling a headwind to cross less than a second off her school record time in the event with a 2:07.79 finish.
Her season will continue into the postseason as she currently sits within qualification for the NCAA East Preliminary Round in the 800m run. Belo's 2:07.79 currently ranks 41st out of the 48 accepted entries in the east region. Considered the first round of the NCAA Championships, the preliminary meet will take place in Tampa, Fla., from May 24-26.
Belo prepares to close one of the most successful careers in program history, accumulating six program records since her freshman season in the indoor 400m dash, indoor 500m dash, indoor 800m run, indoor 1000m run, outdoor 400m dash and outdoor 800m run.

It is feeling and looking more like fall in our area. We live around a ton of forest preserves, rivers and lakes. Our family loves to be outside and explore the great outdoors. Taking hikes is something we love to do (all year long) but especially in the fall. Seeing the color changes on the trees is a favorite of ours.
Being on the trails is a time we can all enjoy as a family without any distractions. The best part for me is watching my kids being outside and bonding together.
Dressing for Fall is all about layers. In the mornings it can be a low of 40 but it can get as warm as 65-70 in the afternoon (like it was yesterday). Both of the kids love wearing active wear on the weekend and for school. Its comfortable and easy way to get them dressed an out the door. When shopping for active wear that I know the kids will approve of, we head to Sports Authority.
Mia is in 4th grade. Her favorite colors are pink, purple and blue. She likes to dress in fun colors. Leggings and cool shoes are a staple in her wardrobe. She chose the Under Armour Girls HeatGear Capris, North Face Jacket that is perfect for this time of year and new balance shoes.
Dylan is your typical 6 year old boy that loves comfort over style the majority of the time. His The North Face hoodie is a favorite this time of year. He also chose Nike Boy's Fly Shorts and adidas Boys LK Running shoes.
You can find the best on trend active wear at affordable prices that your kids will love at Sports Authority.
I was provided with a Sports Authority gift card for this post. All opinions are honest and my own.

How Are You Getting In?
Hello traders! In my last Lessons from the Pros article, we discussed the tendency of many new traders to "chase" trades, that is enter well after the optimal entry level. This week I'd like to expand on a slightly different way to enter your trade.
You may have heard the old trading phrase that goes something like "entering your entire position at one time is the height of arrogance." What this basically means is that no one is good enough at trading to buy the absolute bottom in price to go long or the absolute top when going short, at least not consistently! The theory is then that you should scale in to the trade, adding to it as long as your original analysis is still valid. This idea of scaling in or adding to a position does not mean you get to blindly add to a losing position until it finally goes your direction; this is one of the most basic fundamental mistakes that blow up people's trading accounts! What I am referring to is the pre-planned adding to a position at or near a high quality demand or supply zone. When we say pre-planned, what are we planning? Our total risk in dollars.
In this GBPUSD chart, I've identified an upward sloping trendline that intersects a high quality demand zone. Using the entry styles that we cover in our Online Trading Academy classes and in our Extended Learning Track rooms, your first (and most aggressive) possible entry using that zone would have been at point labeled "1", as price first touched the top of this zone. Your second possible entry would have been inside the zone, perhaps at point labeled "2". Your third (and most conservative entry) would have been as price was leaving the zone, point 3. Very briefly, the basic difference of each entry are: 1. Most trading chances, not the best reward to risk ratio, worst win loss ratio. Entry 2: Fewer trading opportunities than 1, better reward to risk ratio, better win loss ratio. Entry 3: Fewest trading opportunities, worst reward to risk ratio, best win loss ratio. Each style has its own goods and bads, this is just a brief comparison.
So, as we are considering "dipping our toe in the water" on our trades, testing our level before we put a large position on, what else should we consider? If you answered "risk management," congratulations! Let's say you have a $10,000 trading/investing account, and on this trade you are willing to risk 2% of your account. Because you aren't sure exactly at what prices all three entries will be, I'll use the top of my zone as my average cost of my trade. In this example, my entry will be calculated as 1.5580, with my stop loss for all three entries below the zone at 1.5555. The profit target will be set at 1.5655. With a 25 pip stop and a 75 pip target, my reward to risk ratio is 3:1. Two percent of my account is $200, dividing that figure by the amount of my stop, I can do a total of 8 mini lots maximum.
As the price hits the top of the zone, you could have a limit order set to enter two mini lots at 1.5580; this would be the only way to enter the trade if the price immediately bounced off of our demand zone. As the GBPUSD continued to move into the zone and then slow down, you could enter another two mini lots a bit lower than the original price. Often traders will use a market order here, perhaps looking for a reversal candlestick pattern to confirm their entry. Our third entry of two more mini lots would be executed as price left our demand zone-perhaps by using a buy stop limit for our final entry.
Notice we only entered 6 mini lots, when 8 was allowed with our risk management rules. In every Online Trading Academy class that I teach, I always recommend new traders to be conservative, better to risk smaller amounts until trading becomes boring and profitable for you! Using this technique you are limiting losses if your first entry into the zone doesn't work out.
Always remember that adding to a losing trade is considered a bad trading tactic. However, when your total trade is taken into consideration before any lots are entered, we reevaluate this general rule of thumb. With this scaling in technique, very often your confidence in your trading skill will increase because you aren't so stressed when you enter a smaller sized trade. As the level holds, your confidence in your skill will increase much faster than the traditional all-in, all-or-nothing trading style.
Until next time,

Australian wine review - review by andrew graham
This is easily the most drinkable Zinfandel/Primitivo I've had from Australia. Ever. Handpicked and wild fermented, it was matured in 1/3 new American oak for 18 months. Always great to see technical numbers on a wine label and this has a TA 5.3g/L and pH 3.8. Maroon red in colour, this initially smells oaky, but gives way to a real smorgasbord of red and blue fruits, the palate following with lots of fruit and without the jam or heat of either Aussie Zin or many Primitivo. It's still warm hearted, but that currants and berries fruit is on full and proud display. High quality wine. 18/20, 93/100. 14.3%, $30.

At annual meeting, Christian Scientists see "new spirit" emerging in society
Boston, MA — In today's culture of political divisions and religious strife, Christian Scientists spoke at their church's annual meeting of "a new spirit" emerging, which is calling forth the best in people across denominational and national lines. In an interview, the chair of the denomination's board of directors, Allison Phinney, pointed to the simplest of signs seen at a nearby Methodist church in Boston's South End: "God is Love." "You are Loved." "Justice." Said Phinney: "Materialism Continue Reading

Divine Equity Key to Resolving the Housing Crisis
In my community the nonstop noise of new construction all around sometimes makes working from home difficult. At the same time however, several grocery store parking lots where older motorhomes are parked appear to host homeless families. The staggering gap between affordable family housing and inadequate take-home-pay is unsettling. Current demographic projections show 70% of the world living in cities by 2050, and trends indicate that as cities develop and enhance their infrastructure, Continue Reading
Adult autistics – are they doomed to solitude?
Seldom heard are the stories of autistic adults. And rarely reported are the challenges of those who seek companionship. It's believed that autism blocks the ability to intercommunicate and express feelings in a normal way. These difficulties often relegate those diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to solitude, even though they express a deep wish to love another. We may think of our own efforts to build relationships as pertaining to the heart, but for solutions Continue Reading
News Release – Annual Meeting 2016
Boston, MA — When Christian Scientists convened in Boston, Massachusetts, Monday, June 6, for the annual meeting of their denomination, they faced a question that many mainline Christian churches also confront: can church be relevant today? Their perspective on this question—as on just about everything else—runs counter to the popular narrative. "There's a universal hunger for the heartfelt experience of God's saving power," said Margaret Rogers, chairwoman of the five-member lay board of Continue Reading
Environmental cleanup found in harmonious attitudes
From pictures of cows grazing amidst smouldering forests in the Amazon, to surfers cresting a wave of garbage off the shore of Indonesia, the environmental degradation and impurities evidenced on the earth are compounding. A recent World Health Organization news release says that dramatic changes are needed to protect the health and longevity of mankind. As the inhabitants of this globe, we are all being called to action, and a pure environment must be our priority. At odds with purifying the Continue Reading
Eternal life means living spiritually
There are literally hundreds if not thousands of articles on aging gracefully. In Every Man a King, Orison Swett Marden muses, 'Better than the art of growing old gracefully is the secret of not growing old at all." Although Marden's 1906 "secret" focused on how mind and thought can influence one's longevity, today's headlines portray the "secret" as a pill which purports to extend the normal human age span an additional forty years. ( Can people really die of old age?) Not to be outdone, Continue Reading
Resolutions Rebooted
It's that time of year when somewhere around 92% of us who made New Year's resolutions, have lost the momentum of our efforts to change and are commiserating with St. Paul, "My own behaviour baffles me. For I find myself not doing what I really want to do but doing what I really loathe." (Romans 7:18,19 - Phillips) Despite the promise of better days ahead, the urgent effort for reform is dropped and we return to the old ways, in many cases with feelings of remorse, failure and guilt.

All I want for Christmas is a good night's sleep
A proper amount and quality of sleep are considered essential to an active, healthy life. At the holidays, lack of sleep can be a big issue. With the season's demands, we can be loaded with everything from sending cards, shopping for gifts and special travel, to hours of baking and decorating. Especially now, our rest time needs to be refreshing and satisfying. Despite much advice on bettering one's sleep, many people still experience varying degrees of sleeplessness that negatively impact their Continue Reading

How to use Clearblue Pregnancy Combo Pack
1. 99% accurate at detecting typical pregnancy hormone levels. Note that hormone levels vary. See insert. However, some pregnant women may not have detectable amounts of pregnancy hormone in their urine on the first day of the expected period or may have miscalculated the first day of their period.
2. Clearblue® recommends that you test from the day you expect your period. However, the pregnancy hormone increases rapidly in early pregnancy and Clearblue® can be used to test up to 4 days before you expect your period (5 days sooner than missed period). In clinical testing with early pregnancy samples Clearblue® gave the following results:
|Number of days before your period is due
|% of samples from pregnant women giving a 'Pregnant' result
|Rapid Detection
If you test early and get a 'Not Pregnant' result it is possible that the level of pregnancy hormone may not yet be high enough to be detected. You should test again when your period is expected.

Tips on how to use 'How to Meet and Connect with Women'/
I introduced my ebook, 'How to meet and Connect with Women' three years ago. Since this time it has seemed to help guys improve their 'game' and connect with the women they find attractive. Guys email me pictures of the girls they've gone out with, new girlfriends they got and a few times, even babies they've made. (Please don't name any kids after me. Name them after Disney characters. That's more fun.) * You should think of my ebook as a practical guide. That's why I wrote dialogue in the examples, duh. Ideas or techniques are most useful when understood in context - a fact that is sorely misunderstood in this day and age of over-intellectualized 'pick up' advice.
Your 'I got attacked by a horny bee' anecdote is funny only when condition X and Y are in place. But X and Y are also influenced by factor Z, which in turn is controlled by your use of action Q. It's like trying to rationalize the nature of the Universe. They have teams of scientists and super-colliders trying to figure that out. Trying to perfect interaction with women through understanding rules alone will make you into that 'not very fun guy'. You will act too careful. Instead have to develop and trust your instincts, intuition and experience.
If you're a little rusty or new to approaching and charming women, the examples 'in context' are the closest I can come to giving you my instincts, intuition and experience. That is unless you chat with me on the phone or come to one of my events. If you want to increase your ability to meet, hook up, and maybe even get in a relationship... relationships - yuck! Just kidding, you can be in a relationship if you want. :)
Now, where was I? Oh that's right. If you want any of those good things to come your way you need to get a feel for the context of an interaction, not just theory and technique. That's what being charming is all about: acting witty, sexy, knowing when to smile and knowing when to give the other person room - all in context. I wrote the book with that in mind. So I would like you to read it with that in mind.
* A helpful exercise to work along with the ebook is to start an approach journal along with the chapters of the book. Write down as much detail as you can remember. What did you say and do? What did she say and do? Where were you? This type of information gives you the context to later learn from your notes. And if at some point you want to receive phone coaching from myself or one of the Charisma Arts Instructors, this information is invaluable to understand where you are and what you are doing out in the 'field'.
* Also, try to work on one concept at a time. Take for instance 'Disqualification' or DQ as we call it. Use DQ in all your interactions for a few days, with everyone.
Her: "I can't believe that guy on the street asked me for money again after he asked me not just five minutes before."
You: "Sorry about that. I was just a little out of sorts that day."
Her: LOL
After you feel you have a good grasp on DQ, pick something else and concentrate on that. These skills are best when learned one at a time. Many people make the mistake of trying to take on the whole of everything at once. They soon feel overwhelmed, don't do any one thing properly and give up. I don't want that to happen to you. Take an idea and apply it until you have it down to almost muscle memory. Then once you are under-pressure, maybe approaching an extremely attractive group of girls at the coffee shop, you will not have to 'think' about what you're doing. Your technique will be habit and you can free your mind to be creative, fun and sexy.
Good luck and be in touch. Wayne http://twitter.com/Wayne_Elise

Tips to Ensure Loans for Bad Credit Are Good Bets for You
Choosing bad credit loans often gets people a bit worried for the simple fact that they think they will be wrong for them. It's not too hard to see why people often think a bad credit loan is a terrible loan option and yet these have become highly sought after. Why are more choosing to look into bad credit loans than ever before? Well, it's down to the fact that they have bad credit and it's unlikely they will be able to get a traditional loan very easily. However, not all bad credit loans are bad; there are some loans which can be ideal for your situation. Read on and find a few tips that might help you find a good loan today.
Ask Your Bank
A lot of people say, no bank will offer a good loan to any individual who has bad credit but that's not always the case. Yes, you might be turned down for a loan but there is no harm in trying nonetheless. However, some banks may be willing to work with you despite bad credit and may be able to offer loans for bad credit. As you will know, interest will be high but even though, it's still a possibility. If you don't ask you don't get.
Compare Interest Rates
Most people won't be eligible for a loan from a traditional lender and if that's the case, you have to look at specialist lenders such as bad credit lenders. These can be great lenders to say the least but you do need to ensure the right lender is found. When you want a good loan you have to look at the type of interest being offered. There's no point in choosing bad credit loans with interest you simply cannot afford as it means you'll get yourself into a worse position. Even though higher interest is usual, you still have to look for a loan that offers the best possible interest rates. This is important and it will make a real difference when it comes to getting a bad credit loan that's best for you. Click here.
Ensure Your Finances Can Handle a Loan
It isn't just about finding a suitable loan but also ensuring you are able to take out a loan. Working out your finances will be vital for the simple fact that if you cannot afford to repay a loan, you will end up defaulting and that's not what you want. It's very important to work out your current finances and whether the loan amount is going to be suitable for your situation now and in the future. Loans for bad credit can work but you need to ensure the right one is found. If your finances aren't able to stretch to a loan, you have to think again.
Do what's Best for You
Who can actually afford to take out a bad loan? No one can afford to do that and yet it happens more often than not. It's a problem to say the least and it's one that isn't going away anytime soon. If you are thinking about taking out a loan you have to ensure the right one is found. You need to take the time to find a suitable loan. Bad credit loans are ideal and if the right one is found, it can work out well for you.
