Exciting Things are Happening!
- Aug
- 29
By God's providence, several exciting things are happening in Pasig and at Imus: Pastor Jayson sustaining his examination, moving to better and bigger locations, Sunday school for children, church anniversaries in September, and possible Reformation Day celebration in October. Please note the Action Items.
We rejoice with thankfulness to the Lord to announce that last Monday, August 27, Pastor Jayson Santiago sustained his acceptance examination as a Minister of the Word and Sacrament. The examination was administered by elders Warren Cruz, Albert Medina and by myself. The subjects covered were Personal Spiritual Life / Motives for Entering Ministry, Bible, Theology, Church Polity, Confessional Knowledge, Church History, and Pastoral Care. Pastor Jayson exhibited not only good knowledge, but also spiritual maturity. Action Item: After his completion of one final requirement, an installation service will be held on September 16 in Imus.
- Lord willing, this coming Sunday, both churches will be worshipping under better conditions. In Imus, we will be climbing only to the 2nd floor, so no more huffing and puffing to the 4th floor. In Pasig, we will not be cramped in such a small space, in addition to also being on the 2nd floor. In Imus, we will be moving only chairs, two tables, an air-conditioner, and drapes. In Pasig we will need more able-bodied men and women to move chairs, a desk, a table, chairs. The major move is hauling about 500 books and three bookcases. Action Item: We need men and women for moving.
- On September 9, we will be starting Sunday school for our children. There will be two groups: one for preschoolers through 2nd graders, and another for 3rd through 6th graders. We bought Kids' Quest Catechism Club packets from Great Commission Publications. KQCC is a 36-week program designed to reinforce catechism memorization and understanding. This flexible curriculum promotes memorization using: Singing • Bible teaching • Crafts and games • Memory work • Family reinforcement • Take-home papers • and Service projects. Action Item: Two Sunday school teachers needed every Sunday from 1:30-2:30 p.m.
- Anniversary Celebrations:Â We will celebrate our 4th year in Pasig and 1st year in Imus this September. Action Item: Meetings in both congregations to plan these events.
- Rev. Allen Vander Pol of Miami International Theological Seminary (MINTS) coming to teach a class. Lord willing, he will come around the end of October, so we might even have a Reformation Day celebration on October 27-28. Action Item: Watch for more details.
- Our library's catalogue system is almost ready. We will be publishing the catalogue on the Mars Hill Study Center website for online browsing by prospective visitors.
One Responseso far.
"The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; she is His new creation by water and the Word; from heav'n He came and sought her to be His holy bride; with His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died."
"Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone" – Eph. 2:20

Full House: The Newest Girls Gone Wild
by Andrew Troy Keller ([email protected])
You know, as soon as I had gotten myself home from work on the 27th day of
the month of October and spotted this one story in the Metro section of a
local newspaper entitled The Plain Dealer which had informed all of us about
Edmond J. Jaber -- the 48-year-old owner of the Mango's nightclub -- and
Holly Everson -- the club's 35-year-old general manager -- being charged with
unlawful use of a minor in a nudity-oriented performance or material, child
endangering and furnishing alchol to a minor, an idea for a new fan-fiction
story has suddenly popped itself right into my head.
And it happens to be the story that I happen to be writing right now, for you
see, it had all began on the evening of October the 28th within the City of
San Francisco, which was where and when a local young blonde beauty named
D.J. Tanner and her best friend, Kimmy Gibler had stepped out of a concert
hall, where they had enjoyed listening to some great rock music and having
such a wonderful time.
But that was before a confused D.J. had looked around the parking lot of the
concert hall, placed her gentle hand on Kimmy's shoulder and asked, "Kimmy,
I really don't want to be an alarmist, but do you know why our dates had
taken-off and left us here, instead of taking us home?"
That had caused a smiling Kimmy to look at D.J., let out a small giggle and
answered, "That's really simple, Deech. There's this group of producers from
a video series entitled GIRLS GONE WILD hanging around at a local bar tonight
in order to find some young babes who are willing to have themselves
videotaped bare-ass naked."
And after she had that, a reluctant D.J. had raised-up her hands and said,
"Don't tell me. Let me guess. You had gone over there and told them that
we're both the legal age and willing to take our clothes off in front of
their cameras. Is that it?"
And then, after Kimmy had rolled her eyes and answered, "Well, Deech. Now
that you had mentioned it, the answer is 'yes'. Oooohhhh, come on, Deech.
Your dad's not here right now. And besides, what he doesn't know won't hurt
him. So now what do you say, Deech?" a still-reluctant D.J. had looked around
and noticed that her father, Danny Tanner and the rest of her family were
nowhere to be spotted in that area.
And after she had let out a sigh and said, "Okay, Kimmy. As long as my dad
doesn't find out about it, I'll go along with the whole thing," both D.J.
and Kimmy had walked themselves away from the concert hall and over to a
nightclub that was totally unlike the place that was being owned by D.J.'s
Uncle Jesse Katsopolis.
Then, after they had stepped inside the club and noticed that a large banner
with the words 'GIRLS GONE WILD' on it was hanging over the bar, Kimmy had
taken two more steps, raised up her hands and yelled, "HELLO! I'M HERE AND I
That had caused a raven-haired beauty with the words 'staff of GIRLS GONE
WILD' on her white tee-shirt had walked over to the two best friends with a
smile on her face and said, "Hi, Kimmy. It's good to see you again. And you
must be D. J. , Kimmy's best friend. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name
is Lori Cameron. Now, if the both of you get your clothes off and help
yourselves to some refreshment, we'll get this show started."
Just then, after the two teenage girls had taken all of their clothes off and
the club's bartender had handed each of them a plastic cup that was filled
with beer, a smiling Kimmy had turned towards D.J., raised up her beverage
cup and said, "Down the hatch, Deech."
And after she had watched her bare-ass naked best friend gulp down the whole
beverage cup full of beer, a reluctant D.J. had stared at her cup of beer for
a minute or two just before she had realized that she was unable to risk
destroying her friendship with Kimmy and gulped down her beer.
And then, after the two drunk friends had looked at each other and shared a
small giggle between them, a smiling Lori had walked over to both D.J. and
Kimmy, placed her hands on their bare shoulders and said, "Okay, you two. I
do believe that it's time for you to be the newest GIRLS GONE WILD."
And so, after Lori had moved the two drunk friends away from the bar and
placed them on a blue mat, she had placed herself behind the cameraman and
allowed him to go ahead and start taping just before the two new stars of
the adult video series had looked at each other's nude bodies and kissed
each other ever so passionately on the lips.
And after the cameraman had unzipped his pants and started stroking his stiff
cock and Lori had stripped off all of her clothes and started pumping two of
her fingers in and out of her hot, wet pussy and carressing her own tits with
the other hand, D.J. had started licking all over Kimmy's nude body -- all
the way down to her hot, moist snatch and carressing her firm breasts.
And then, after Kimmy had placed her hands on D.J.'s bare shoulders and said,
"Aaaahhhh, yeeeessss! That's it! Do it, D.J.! Touch me! Touch me there! Suck
my wet pussy dry! Aaaahhhh!" Lori had placed herself in front of the
cameraman, helped him take all of his clothes off and allowed him to start
pumping his stone hard dick in and out of her asshole.
Then, after both Lori and the cameraman had moved themselves closer to the
two drunk lesbian lovers and she had started sucking on Kimmy's stiff mounds,
Kimmy had suddenly realized that in spite of the fact that both she and D.J.
were drunk and unable to stop themselves, she was able to experience the one
thing that either she or D.J. had ever experienced with any size group
before, for she was experiencing pure and untamed erotica... and enjoying
every minute of it.
Just then, after the cameraman -- whose name was Dave Saget -- had placed his
stiff cock inside D.J.'s pussy and started licking on Kimmy's cunt, D.J. had
started licking on Lori's snatch and carressing her tits and Kimmy had placed
her hand on Lori's silky-smooth naked thigh and started sucking on her toes.
And then, after a sexually-energized Lori had placed her hands on D.J.'s bare
back and yelled, "AAAAHHHH, YES! THAT'S IT! DO IT, D.J.! DO IT, KIMMY! TOUCH
Then, after they had started moving themselves harder and faster and their
lovemaking has finally made its way back to the house that D.J. and her
sisters -- Stephanie and Michelle -- were living at with her dad's best
friend -- Joey Gladstone -- and her uncle's little family, D.J., Kimmy, Lori
and Dave had came and collapsed due to exhaustion and fell asleep.
Just then, on the very next day, D.J. had finally woken herself up and
placed her hand on her forehead just in time for her concerned aunt, Rebecca
Donaldson-Katsopolis had stepped into the room, placed her gentle hand on
D.J.'s forehead and asked, 'How are you feeling, D.J.? Are you feeling any
And just as she was about to try to come up with an answer to those
questions, her Aunt Becky's two sons, Nicky and Alex had charged into the
room and started yelling up a storm, causing poor D.J. to get herself out
of the bed and quickly step out of her bedroom and into the bathroom, where
she had puked up her lunch into the toilet.
And if Becky were to step inside the bathroom to see if she was feeling okay
and discovered that she was kneeling next to the toilet and her niece had
looked at her with teary eyes and told her about what Kimmy had talked her
into doing last night, she would have no choice, but to tell Danny... and he
would soon be in a real pissed-off mood.

The non event of a tornado of the previous evening had morphed into fair, cool weather, but with strong westerly winds. We reverted to type and arrived at the Pelee car park around 5.30, meeting fewer crowds than the previous visit. The birding day had started even before this, with an American Woodcock on the road in the headlights, and a second picked out in display flight over the car park. Even a single White-tailed Deer was roadside in the dark. While on the shuttle, the winds seemed stronger towards the tip, and the sea on the windward side was very rough, contrasting with the much calmer waters on the leeward side. Some marine birds such as Double-crested Cormorants and Great Northern Divers were passing, and an optimistic Ruby-throated Hummingbird flew South, but it was obvious that any birds here would be looking for shelter. This was in fact the case, with a stunning close Blackburnian Warbler joined by a couple of Least Flycatchers and a Black-and-White Warbler. A Northern Harrier battled its way overhead. Other activity at the tip was slow, so we decided yet again on the slow walk back up the road, taking in Woodland Trail. The former was much quieter today, as was the trail, but the latter did improve as we walked along. There was not the variety or numbers of birds as compared with our last walk here, but we did notch up another Black-and-white Warbler, American Redstart, Red-eyed Vireo, and a couple of Magnolia Warblers. Towards the end, a pair of courting Wild Turkeys were a strange sight in the woodland, with a stunning male Scarlet Tanager opposite.
With the strong westerlies continuing to blow, and the temperatures in the coolish mid teens, we headed for Tilden, hoping for a few migrants which favoured a bit more shelter on the east side of the peninsular. We weren't too disappointed either. This time we took a bit of a detour by continuing straight on inside the trail towards the lake East Shore. Here, a narrow sand and shingle beach follows the water in each direction. The waves of this inland lake were a little choppy, but a group of Red-breasted Mergansers contained Bufflehead. One was a dapper male, and he used his striking good looks to woo one of the females into doing naughty things! In the wooded edges there, Warbling Vireos were very active, but searching through them also unearthed a Philadelphia Vireo, singing to proclaim his patch. A couple of Flycatchers were also here, one a Western Wood Pewee, the other a Trails Flycatcher - Willow or Alder, since it didn't call. As we met the return trail - the same one we exited to see the beach - one bush held both Blackburnian & Chestnut-sided Warbler.
The Warbling Vireos continued their manic feeding to be accompanied by less active Red-eyed Vireos. We took the seasonal trail which had held a Mourning Warbler a couple of days before - this time Swainson's Thrush and ridiculously close American Redstart, to meet the Chinquapin trail. Getting hungry, we did the old trick of just going another 100 metres, which was a good call. We came across a clearing which seemed to be too exposed in the wind to hold anything. After spotting a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak building a nest, moments later a Blue-winged Warbler perched for a brief time in a nearby tree. Only metres further on, a Magnolia Warbler was static in a cut wood thicket, and to seal the deal, an Eastern Bluebird was hunting for insects in the open. A good extension to trail - lunch tasted all the better!
This was oneof the Pelee sites we had not covered, and we expected to cover the marsh in no time bagging a few water based specialities at the same time. This didn't happen, but the birding was superb. An observation tower overlooks the cattail reedbeds, which are interspersed with some open water. The walk around is only about 1km, and takes no time, partly because there was no more than Common Yellowthroat and Swamp Sparrow to spot. The surprise was the quality of the birds in the trees along the edge of the marsh, toward and beyond the toilet block to the North. Good numbers of various wood warblers seemed to find the trees over the regular wet areas to their liking, and were in constant presence. Although many of them were higher up, a good proportion were also at lower and ground level. There was even a mini twitch on, with some of the Ontario birders "needing" and getting a female Cerulean Warbler which we were happy to share with them (ok, it was they who spotted the bird first!).
With some time before the light acted against photography, and a good days migration watching behind us, we decided on a return to Tilden Woods, hoping for a few extra titbits that might have eluded us earlier. We headed for the seasonal trail to the rear, mainly because a Loiusiana Waterthrush had been spotted there earlier, but also since we hadn't walked this as yet. Predictably, no Waterthrush of any description was present, but we quickly added Great Crested Flycatcher and Black-and-white Warbler. Rejoining the main trail back towards the visitor centre, we were lucky enough to stumble on a female Hooded Warbler, which unfortunately was a little too active in the tangles for prolonged views. Last bird of the day was also a treat - a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird feeding and then displaying in a pendular flight back and forth.

8 PS4 multimedia features you must try out
Watch Netflix
View live broadcasts on YouTube and Twitch
Play Blu-rays and DVDs
Don't have a Netflix subscription? Can't connect to the internet for some reason but still want to watch something at home? Remember that your game discs are Blu-rays too, so the console has no problem playing Blu-ray shows and films. Your DVD collection also doesn't have to gather dust, as the PS4 still supports this aged format smoothly.
Listen to music on Spotify
Capture in-game moments and share them through social media
Share your games with a friend or family member
Swap out the default hard drive for a bigger one
The 500GB hard drive that the standard PS4 has might seem like enough, but with how huge games have become recently, commonly reaching 40 to 50GB in size with mandatory installation, it doesn't take long to run out of space. Thankfully, you can easily switch the hard drive with a typical 2.5inch laptop drive of up to 4TB. You don't need any expertise with hardware, just a Phillips screwdriver and a little time to spare to follow simple tutorials! Click this link for PlayStation's official guide on upgrading the internal hard drive, or just watch the video above.
Use an external hard drive to store and run games
If replacing the internal hard drive is too much work, you can also just use an external hard drive for installing games. Any USB 3.0 storage device from 250GB to 8TB capacity will do. Just plug it in directly to one of the PS4's USB ports and format it to work as the console's extended storage. As long as you have it connected, you'll be able to play the games installed on it. You can even move the games already installed on the internal hard drive to the external drive and vice versa. Click here for the official step-by-step instructions from Sony, or watch the video above.

Nintendo reveals upcoming games for the Switch
Featuring some old favorites!
Throughout the year, the world's biggest tech companies host the most lavish events to promote new launches and announcements. Most of the time, these massive events have redefined their respective industries. Alternatively, some companies rely on subtler means for their launches. Regardless, the industry-defining effects remain the same.
Nintendo typifies this strategy to perfection, boasting their chops through online-only Nintendo Direct events. Today, in the first Nintendo Direct of the year, the company unveiled its slew of strong contenders going into 2019. Here's a taste of Nintendo's upcoming heavy-hitters:
Super Mario Maker 2
In 2015, Nintendo released its most revolutionary retooling of the Mario formula — Super Mario Maker. Exclusive to the 3DS and the Wii U, the highly customizable Mario game was a beloved hit. This June, Nintendo finally releases a follow-up featuring new tools, elements, and a lot more playability on the Switch.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
By no means a new game, Link's Awakening brings the Game Boy classic to the Switch. This time, Nintendo has remastered the game in a top-down, 3D engine. Further, the remastered game features similar side-scrolling segments from the old game.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
The current Marvel fever has also infected the gaming world. The Black Order brings a four-player co-op brawler experience to the Switch. Featuring a wide array of characters from the universe, the game features an original story, pitting your favorite heroes against Thanos and the Black Order.
Tetris 99
Out today, Tetris 99 is the most shocking iteration of the time-honored series. Why? It's a battle royale. The free online block-building game pits you against 98 other players in a race to become the last man standing.
Besides these four, Nintendo will also launch a flurry of updates and ports. In the coming months, the company will release substantial updates to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It will also launch Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

EA is looking into making a mobile version of Apex Legends
To battle with Fortnite
EA's battle royale game is a certified hit. Apex Legends, which was developed by Titanfall makers Respawn, has no fewer than 25 million registered players in just one week. The game is playable for free on multiple platforms (PC, PS4, and Xbox One), but why not make it available on mobile as well?
Early reports don't indicate mobile plans for the game, although during the Electronic Arts Q3 2019 earnings call, EA Games CEO said that they are looking into bringing Apex Legends to mobile devices.
Fortnite's userbase ballooned when it became available on Android and iOS, so it's a no brainer than EA also wants mobile gamers to join the fun.
"We are looking at how to take the game to mobile and cross-play over time, and I also expect that this game will have tremendous value in Asia, and we're in conversations about that," EA Games CEO Andrew Wilson said during the conference call.
There's no definite timeline for the release of Apex Legends on mobile, but it's certainly on the drawing board. For now, EA plans to introduce direct purchase options for players to buy items and new legends or heroes. They will also offer the so-called Apex Packs or simply loot boxes for more random items.
Apex Legends is not a pay-to-win game, so these items are purely cosmetic and can be used to customize your hero's looks in the game.

Constitutional Convention: False hope or direct democracy?
by Christine Stuart | Oct 22, 2008 11:18pm
() Comments | Commenting has expired | Share
Posted to: Election Policy, Town News
Ed Pilkington of Manchester walked into Hartford Public Library Wednesday night not knowing how he would answer November's ballot question: "Shall there be a Constitutional Convention to amend or revise the Constitution of the State?"
After hearing more than an hour of debate between three panelists against a constitutional convention and two panelists in favor of it, Pilkington walked out of the library thinking he would be voting 'Yes' to the question in November.
However, Pilkington didn't necessarily agree with the motives of constitutional convention proponents.
Proponents of the convention would like to see the constitution amended to include direct initiative or ballot referendum, which would give citizens a way in which to petition public policy issues directly onto a ballot.
Pilkington said he thinks it may be a healthy exercise for the state to open up the constitution every few decades and take a look at it. He said if the question passes he'll be sure to let his legislators know that's why he voted in favor of it.
Pilkington said after hearing Matthew Daly, Constitution Convention Campaign chairman, talk about the 1965 convention and how only two of the 259 proposals made it out of the convention, in addition to knowing that the legislature would appoint the delegates to the convention, "made me feel comfortable."
Frank O'Gorman, of People of Faith, said all you have to do is look at ballot initiatives being proposed in other states, like Colorado where voters will decide this November if a fertilized egg should be given inalienable rights, to see how dangerous voting in favor of a constitutional convention would be. He said proponents of a constitutional convention and direct initiative "are abridging the principles of what makes a constitution, a constitution."
John Woodcock, Constitution Convention Campaign vice chairman, said the 'Yes' campaign is issue neutral. He said thinking its about one issue or another is exactly what the 'No' people want and "we refuse."
Woodcock, a former Democratic state legislator who is credited with authoring the state's first Lemon Law, said some of the most important laws in this country were passed by direct initiative. He said 13 states gave women suffrage before the 19th Amendment, six states passed public campaign finance laws, eight have approved medical marijuana laws, and six states have used it to increase the minimum wage.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who is not in favor of a convention, said "my main worry about the convention is that it raises false hopes." He said he thinks the people in favor of the convention are picturing a town hall meeting where everyone will attend and have a vote.
"I think a constitutional convention is like an empty vessel and everybody pours into it their hopes," Blumenthal said. "And I think those hopes would be dashed. I think the idea raises very false expectations. And I think nothing illustrates that point better than the unresponsiveness of the legislature being a reason for the constitutional convention, and then the emphasis on the leadership of the legislature being the ones to choose the delegates."
As a former legislator, Woodcock said he knows the General Assembly would never amend the constitution itself. He said there's "institutional hostility by the legislature to giving people the right to ballot petition."
"It's never gonna happen," Woodcock said. "It has to happen now or 20 years from now."
The constitution says voters must be asked the question about a convention every 20 years. The last convention the state held was in 1965.
Kim Knox, constitutional scholar and lawyer at Horton, Shields, and Knox, said the constitution is a stable continuous body of law, which is succinct and 10,000 words.
Knox said she thinks people need to differentiate between statutes, which "can bend with the wind," and the constitution. She said amendments are a way the constitution has some flexibility, but the amendment process wasn't intended to be easy.
Many in the audience Wednesday expressed frustration with unresponsive elected officials.
If people have issues with an unresponsive legislature then "you all have a say in that. Every election you have a say," Knox said. "Do we need to take the risk of a convention?"
Blumenthal said the state constitution has been amended by the General Assembly 30 times since 1965.

Some substantial items in there—all of which had to pass a with majority support from CT voters.

By the way, I was wondering if you could share where you got the information that a constitutional convention is being supported by a) many groups on the left in general and b) Representative Caruso in particular.
The former seems to be false, and the latter is DEFINITELY false.
So do you burn sources that lie to you, or do you protect them to maintain your access?

Ballot initiatives are the origin of most reforms, such as women's suffrage (passed in 13 states before Congress went along), direct election of Senators (4 states), publicly financed elections (passed by initiative in 6 of 7 states with them), medical marijuana ( in 8 of 12 states) and increasing minimum wages (in all 6 states that tried in 2006). See http://Vote.org/initiatives for more examples and references. The media have seized on the problem initiatives. They generally kiss up to politicians.
Voters on initiatives need what legislators get: public hearings, expert testimony, amendments, reports, etc., but independent of the legislature, as all branches of government work independently. The best project for such deliberative process is the National Initiative for Democracy, led by former Sen. Mike Gravel: http://Vote.org. Also http://healthydemocracyoregon.org/ and http://cirwa.org

Matt you seem to think you have information to the contrary… why not share it?
Otherwise, why not let's see some polling data on the question. I'm sure there'll be a poll on this available shortly.
I've read you comments on both stories and you seem to be ignoring responses. Are you a bot?
posted by: ctkeith | October 23, 2008 1:08pm
Polling isn't going to change the FACT Christine made a factual error in her reporting.
I suggest,
1) she admit,in print,her mitake.
2) we move on.
Chritine does excellent work but like every person she's humam and makes mistakes.The old "dead tree" reporters rarely,if ever, admitted mistakes and if they did their retractions were usually well hidden in the many pages of their newspapers.
Christine could go a long way to showing that the "new media" she is championing is really as different as we're all hoping it is.
posted by: christine | October 23, 2008 1:17pm
Okay everybody just needs to calm down. I admitted I made a mistake in the comment section by saying Rep. Chris Caruso supported the constitutional convention, when in fact he does not. I just got off the phone with him and will be publishing a story later today about exactly what his position is and how the misinformation may have gotten out there in the first place. So everybody needs to hold their horses, while I get to work.
posted by: Doug | October 23, 2008 1:34pm
Keith, I think she did that on the other post and said she'd look into another story. Would you like her to re-post that response here? I guess you're talking about the difference between the word "groups" in her story and the idea that there are thousands of Democrats out there who like the idea of the convention. Clearly your agenda goes beyond that.
Simple anecdotal evidence tells me there are plenty of Democrats supporting the ConnCon. I'm sure many are reticent to say so to avoid offending friends in the gay community because of the appearance—albeit an inaccurate one in many cases I'm sure—of support for a ban on gay marriage.
Nevertheless, it's a semantic argument at best and certainly not worth all the effort you and Matt have put into it. She'll get around to it once she's checked it out. She's certainly not going to offer a blanket correction just because you and Matt W claim she's wrong—your comments are there for everyone to see.

Senior citizens should be aware of deceptive sales practices when purchasing annuities.
Annuity sales to senior citizens have significantly increased in recent years. However, as annuity sales have risen, so has a sense of confusion among consumers. This may be due, in part, to questionable or deceptive sales practices employed by companies and agents looking to take advantage of uninformed consumers. It is important, when considering whether or not to buy an annuity, to take the necessary precautions in order to make an informed decision that is best for you.
What is an annuity?
An annuity is a contract in which an insurance company makes a series of income payments at regular intervals in return for a premium or premiums you have paid. Annuities are most often bought for future retirement income, and can pay an income that can be guaranteed to last as long as you live.
What are the different kinds of annuities?
There are several types of annuities, all of which carry varying levels of risk and guarantees. To get the most out of an annuity, it is important to know the different options available to you, as well as the benefits each type provides.
Is an annuity right for you?
To find out if an annuity is right for you, consider what your financial goals are for the future. Analyze the amount of money you are willing to invest in an annuity, as well as how much of a monetary risk you are willing to take. An annuity may not be an appropriate vehicle to reach short-term financial goals. When determining whether an annuity would benefit you, ask yourself the following questions:
Understand the product you are buying
When it comes to annuities, inappropriate sales practices can occur in many ways and come from a variety of sources. Anyone can be a victim, but senior citizens remain a prime target. Here are a few ways to protect yourself:
Avoid being fooled by deceptive sales practices
Watch for the following red flags, which serve as warnings of possible deceptive sales practices:

Councillors have agreed to use compulsory purchase powers to force the sale of an eyesore building.
Hartlepool Borough Council says the clearance of the Longscar Building is a key part of its plans to regenerate Seaton Carew.
Members of the authority's Finance and Policy Committee approved the compulsory purchase order (CPO) for the site after all efforts to buy it by agreement have failed.
The building has stood empty for a number of years. The council says it occupies a prominent position on The Front overlooking the sea and its demolition is a key element of the Seaton Carew Masterplan blueprint for the regeneration of the popular seaside resort.
Damien Wilson, the council's Assistant Director (Regeneration), said: "Given the Longscar Building's adverse impact upon the sea front and commercial area of Seaton Carew, action is required to acquire the property so that it can be included within the regeneration proposals.
"The inclusion of the Longscar Building is considered paramount to the success of any regeneration scheme and its clearance will represent a step change in the appearance, amenity and vitality of The Front."
The regeneration proposals for The Front are in three phases with the clearance of the Longscar Building site part of the first phase.
Mr Wilson added: "It is unlikely that the site of the Longscar Building will be acquired by agreement within a timescale that meets the development programme.
"It is envisaged that once the building has been acquired there will be a 12-month development period to undertake demolition and construct the phase one works."
Seaton Carew resident Graeme Measor, who has previously pressed the council to take action, said: "It is disgraceful it has been left derelict for such a long time but I'm thrilled the council is going to compulsory purchase it. The next question is what it will be turned into."
He said he would like to see a new indoor swimming pool that would create jobs and attract visitors all year round.

I'm tempted to say that statism is sort of like a cult. Proponents of socialism and other big-government ideologies have a dogmatic zeal that blinds them to reality.
For instance, no nation has ever become rich with big government. But that doesn't stop leftists from advocating in favor of higher taxes and more coercive redistribution.
They are equally capable of rationalizing that economic misery in places such as Greece and Venezuela has nothing to do with bad policy, and you can even find a few zealots willing to defend basket cases such as Cuba and North Korea.

ESPN's Ed Werder reports that a source has informed him that the overall expectation is that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will fire HC Jason Garrett and the rest of the coaching staff if Dallas doesn't make the playoffs this year.
To do so, the Cowboys would need to win their two remaining games against Washington and Philadelphia.
Garrett's seat as been hot for a few years now and bringing him back after another disappointing season is going to do very little to convince the fan base that the team is moving in the right direction. Of course, Jones maintaining control of personnel decisions and GM duties doesn't either.
Should the Cowboys job become available, it will be interesting to see the list of names with interest in the job.
Garrett's record as head coach is 28-26 for a winning percentage of 51.9 and zero postseason appearances.

27th May 2012 is a memorable day that brought us so many different emotions. It was the day when 6 of us, Vietnamese Arch Angels doing charity work for the first time, inspired by David Archuleta.
We went to National Hospital of Pediatrics in Hanoi to give children patients milk cartons, candy, picture books, coloring books, crayons and various kinds of interesting knowledge books for childen. We also got to visit the playing room to make some cute Get Well Soon cards and put them on the glass-cases. The hospital is really huge so we chose to visit only Clinical Haematology and Cancer Ward. The children patients were from newborns to 7-8 years old. We did not get to know each patient's desease or how hard their situation was. The patients in Cancer Ward almost lost all of their hair, they looked so pale and tired. Some of them would have to stay at hospital for at least a month. While patients at Clinical Haematology were mainly newborns. We felt heart-broken feeling each of their pain. But this may surprise you- almost all of the patients, except ones who were sleeping or having a fever, were so happy when they received a gift bag from us. And they were so eager that they opened their bag right away, and enjoyed their candies or milk even when we were still there. That made us feel nothing but so good!
Leaving brave children patients, we hoped that our visit helped brighten their Sunday, and made them feel love and care from others. We planned this activity before "Making the World a Good Place" project was launched. We are all inspired by David Archuleta, a young man with a big heart and a beautiful soul who has done many charity works. His smile makes us happy, his voice warms our hearts, and his good deeds are making the world a good place. Thanks to him, we comprehend that doing charity work makes us feel good knowing we can help others.

Today The Burtonesque Dolls are doing the "Lighter Side of Tim Burton". We are using adorable Merkids from Simply Betty Stamps. I am using Tiki. I must admit I had some trouble here. I am really not all that familiar with Burton's lighter side. I only know the funky, quirky and dark Burton material. I decided that part of The Nightmare Before Christmas could be considered lighter so I went with a Christmas theme. If you ask any of my friends, I am all about Christmas.
I colored Tiki with Copics and added some liquid applique to give her a little fluff. I used mostly scrap paper. I am on a mission to use up all my scraps in the next two months. My stash is getting out of hand. My studio has spread into my bedroom. It is so out of hand that my sister has spent several hours already trying to control it and contain it to one room. What can I say? The creative mind is a messy one!
Please hop over to TBD and see what the other have created and play along. Then stop by Simply Betty Stamps and get your very own Merkids. Thanks for stopping by.

Final Fantasy 13-2 PS3
Final Fantasy 13-2
Another awesome game by Square Enix, obviously. Final Fantasy 13-2 is a role playing game (RPG) published by Square Enix and it was released in 2011 in Japan and 2012 in North America and PAL regions. The game is a direct sequel to the previous Final Fantasy 13 game, taking place three years after its events. This time, I am going to give you a quick review about the game and why you should get it yourself.
Acquiring artefact
Throughout this game, you will be able to control the on-screen character through a third-person perspective. You will be able to interact with people, objects and enemies, just like the previous game. You can even turn the camera around the characters, giving you a 360 degrees view of the surrounding, this is especially useful when you are searching for some hidden treasures. You will navigate the world by foot or by chocobo. The game world is divided into multiple regions and times, and includes both different regions at the same time and the same region at different times. You will be able to travel in time from one place to another through Historia Crux, in the condition that you have the required artefact for that specific gateway. The game regions are not accessed linearly, but are represented as a branching path, which is another cool feature of the game, unlike the Final Fantasy 13. Final Fantasy 13, as you may know, is said to have a linear gameplay, as you you don't really have the freedom to do some side quests, except at the end of the game. In 13-2, new regions are unlocked via plot points or by acquiring the specific artefacts and you may transfer between unlocked regions at any point.
Live Trigger System
When you access a region that you had previously visited, you will appear where you were before leaving. Upon acquiring items called seals, you can revert regions to how they were before you visited in order to play through the regions again, obtaining optional items or doing some additional side quests. The game is also automatically save when you enter the Historia Crux. When talking to random characters in the game, occasionally, you will begin the Live Trigger system, in which you will be asked to choose your response based on up to four choices. The game also features temporal rifts, in which you will be asked to complete a certain type of puzzles to advance through the game.
Noel saving Serah
Final Fantasy XIII-2 begins three years after Cocoon's fall, noted in-game as 3AF, as the Pulse town Serah lives in is attacked by monsters. A stranger named Noel appears to save the town, and claims to be a time traveler from 700AF. He arrived in 3AF via Valhalla, a realm at the end of time, where he claims to have met Lightning guarding the throne of the goddess Etro, who, according to myth, created humanity. As part of Lightning's transfer to Valhalla, paradoxes have erupted throughout time, enabling time travel between specific time periods via the Historia Crux and modifying history. Serah joins Noel to resolve these paradoxes, hoping to find her sister while he hopes to change the bleak future from which he came. That are just some brief ideas about the story line, as I don't intend to reveal anymore spoilers in this quick review.
Doing some side quests
The game handles time travel in a unique and interesting way, allowing players to visit the same areas in multiple time periods, and even creates alternate reality versions of them as the plot progresses. The year 10AF and 1XAF are exactly the same time periods, but alternate versions of history. The game jumps through time in a nonlinear manner, and players will often have to return to various ages and locations multiple times in order to progress. New side quests become available over time, and some of those quests require visiting different ages in order to complete them. The whole
thing is structured very well.
thing is structured very well.
Mog's throw
The game also introduces Mog, Serah's moogle companion, and one of the most entertaining aspects of the game's story. If Final Fantasy 13 was defined by Sazh's "chocofro," then XIII-2 is defined by Mog. The adorable companion also plays a regular part in the game play; not only does he turn into Serah's weapon for some reason that's really never explained, but he has a couple of useful powers that aid in their journey. He can unlock items that are trapped in time, and Serah can throw the poor little guy in order to reach treasure spheres that are out of reach.
Customizing monsters
The paradigm shift system nearly identical to the combat system of the Final Fantasy 13, but it does not really bother me that much. Identical combat system also means that I am more experienced in using it, thus resulting faster combats and higher battle rank, right? Although the battle system is the same, you will be able to fill in the third slot of the party by capturable monsters, each of which has a singular job role that it is adopt to. Players can create a set of three monsters to accompany them in battle, and one of these monsters take up the third slot at a time, based on the current paradigm. Monster collection adds an interesting new facet to combat, as monster companions often have access to active and passive skills that Serah and Noel can never learn. Some monsters also increase in power more quickly than others, and many can even outpace Serah and Noel in terms of sheer power.
Astonishing view at Sunleth Waterscape
As can be expected from a Final Fantasy game, the visuals are stunning. The environments are all gorgeous, but certain areas such as Academia and the Sunleth Waterscape stand out as truly phenomenal. The characters are all beautifully modeled and animated, and the attention to detail is terrific. In an odd move, however, Final Fantasy 13-2 takes a bit of a step backward by removing enemy models from the environment. They do appear in the world just before an encounter begins, but the new system is essentially a return to random encounters, which seems like a strange decision. It also makes the wide-open areas of the game seem rather bleak and empty, especially when compared to Gran Pulse in Final Fantasy 13.
All in all, Final Fantasy 13-2 is less linear than the previous game, the combat system is more complex because you will be able to change the third slot into some random monsters with specific job that you want. More side quests and puzzles are available at the same time too, and most of the side quests will require you to travel back and forth from regions to regions multiple times to solve them. The gil farming and AP farming also become less tedious than the previous version. Some players, however will find the story line of the game a bit complicated and confusing, even nonsensical at a certain point of the game. It regularly ignores the concept of causality, except when it does not, and uses paradoxes as the primary source of conflict, some of them being so nonsensical that it defies all logic. In one situation, a boss is completely unkillable because it travels back in time and rebuilds itself when it's destroyed. Whether or not it's better than Final Fantasy 13 is something I leave for you to judge for yourself.

hi.....can the r.l.a. or members please advise of the exact definition of the "8 weeks in arrears" rule where by landlords can receive direct lha payments,i ask because would it not be possible to insist that tenants on benifits pay 2 months rent the day after they move in. if they then miss this payment (100% will)could you then apply for direct payment as the terms of their agreement would place them 8 weeks in arrears ( long shot i know ).also whats the law on being paid direct,if its then found that a tenant has over claimed benifits why do councils reclaim any over-payment from the landlords as i have no means of checking what the tenant is or is-not entitled to (most of the time they wont even divulge their details)always siting the old "chest-nut"data protection !!! any info /help would be very much appreciated michael at confra

By Vince Carucci
Previous issues of The Carmagen Engineering Report discussed the problem of assessing corrosion of the annular plate in an API 650 tank. In this issue, the problem of assessing external shell corrosion in the region just above the shell-to-annular plate junction will be covered. Corrosion of this type is quite common if grading around the tank mounds up due to shell settlement and rainwater collects around the tanks base. It also occurs on insulated tanks if the weather covering becomes damaged and water accumulates between the insulation and shell. General or pitting type corrosion in the tank shell can be assessed using API 653 criteria. However, the lower portion of the shell and annular plate are subjected to high secondary stresses in addition to membrane stresses in the shell-to-annular plate junction. Also, high peak stresses occur at the toe of the fillet welds attaching the annular plate to the shell which can cause fatigue cracking and failure.
In the standard API 653 evaluation procedure, a minimum average thickness for a shell course, t1, is determined based on averaging the minimum thickness over a considerably large region (maximum 40 inches). This minimum average thickness, minus the expected future corrosion allowance, must be greater than the minimum thickness required by either the API One-Foot Method or Variable-Design-Point Method, tmin. The actual minimum thickness of the shell, t2, less any future corrosion allowance must also be greater than 60% of tmin. While the API 653 criteria allows for a considerable amount of corrosion, the procedure is still somewhat conservative when applied to the region of the annular plate-to-shell junction. This is due to the stiffening effect of the annular plate and the restraint provided by the tank foundation ring wall. Since API 653 allows use of the ASME Code Section VIII, Division 2 "design by analysis method," tanks which exceed the basic API 653 evaluation criteria can still be evaluated by making a detailed analysis, and a determination can be made based on a more comprehensive understanding of the stresses in the junction.
To illustrate this analysis approach, a 183 ft. diameter tank, in which half of the bottom course thickness was corroded away, was analyzed using the ALGOR finite element program. The stresses in most of the shell can be classified as primary membrane stresses and must be limited to a quality called Sm per the Division 2 method.
Sm is equal to the lower of the allowable stress that was used in the original tank design, 2/3 of the specified minimum yield strength, or 1/3 of the minimum tensile strength. However, in the region of the shell to annular plate junction, the stresses can be classified as a combination of primary (local membrane and bending) and secondary stresses. In accordance with the Division 2 procedure, these stresses can be permitted to go as high as 1.5 to 3 times Sm, depending on the stress category. Peak stresses are also calculated at the toes of the fillet welds in the junction and can also be evaluated using the Division 2 rules.
The stress analysis assumed that the outside fillet weld has been restored to approximately its original size and a 1/8 inch corrosion allowance is required until the next inspection. Figure 1 shown the finite element model used in the study, and Figure 2 shows a plot of the membrane, bending and the maximum combined stress intensity along the tank shell in the junction region. All of the stresses are below the appropriate Division 2 allowable stresses. In addition, a peak stress intensity of approximately 80 ksi occurs at the toe of the fillet welds in the annular plate. However, this peak stress is still acceptable as it would yield a fatigue life of over 1000 cycles.
In summary, over one half the original thickness of the tank shell is gone in this case. However a detailed stress calculation made in accordance with Division 2 rules demonstrated that the tank is still suitable for continued operation without downrating or undertaking an extensive repair. Therefore, use of detailed stress analysis should be considered in situations where localized tank shell corrosion exceeds the basic API 653 considered acceptance criteria.

Hats off to that man for sure..Extremely impressive.
But he should retire now. He looks frail.. He's a Marine though so he's definitely got the cojones of steel. Semper Fidelis sir
This guy really loved his job or had a high maintenance wife!
Or hated her..hahah
Marines don't really comprehend the idea of quitting. It's why they're Marines. He might look frail, but if he's still hustling for Buster Brown every day after all this time he's harder than a coffin nail.


text: We placed a call to Mr. Plumber around 4:30 pm. Vlad, the owner, called back half an hour or so later. He listened to the problem, gave me a rough estimate, and promised they would get in touch to arrange an appointment. They actually did… and Igor showed up (friendly, smart, competent) and proceeded to assess the situation, and take apart various wet & tired mechanisms to see what was needed – then drove to the store and returned with the required parts, shut off the water, and got to work. It is now 7:30pm (the same day), and everything is fixed.

Since I'm up on my historic preservation horse again, I figured I might as well ride it around for a few more posts. So, next stop, the Pickle Mansion in the Fort Sanders neighborhood near the University of Tennessee.
This once-glorious mansion was built in 1889 in the Queen Anne style by then-Tennessee State Attorney General George Pickle. When it was whole and well, it had a hipped roof, ornately-topped turrets, a wide wrap-around covered porch, and beautiful brickwork. Like many of the grand old Victorian homes remaining in Fort Sanders, it had been carved up into student apartments and left to a genteel decay.
Then in 2003, a horrible fire gutted the roof and top floors; luckily, there were no human casualties. But Knoxville lost a grand dame that day. The previous owners were denied a demolition permit by the city. The current owners, who purchased the mansion in 2005, pledged renovation and have stabilized the structure, but have not progressed to the exterior as yet.
I'm hoping for a future where I won't see the sky, even as lovely and blue as it is in this photo, through lonely architectural bones when I walk by. I'm hoping also that I won't see a vacant lot, or another cinderblock apartment complex squatting like a toad by the curving driveway.

I bet it was a great home. I love the size of the porch. Hopefully the owners will be able to start renovating it soon.

It is such a majestic building. I do hope it doesn't bite the dust and re surface as a car park (vacant lot) as happens all to often in the UK.

It was quite remarkable, even as an apartment house.
Bibi, I'd met some Pickels in the area who say the name was originally French and pronounced Piquelle.

Differences between fee schedule file types FAQ
Q. Are there differences between the First Coast Part B fee schedule lookup, PDF files, and zipped text files?
A. Yes. Although they are very similar with regards to content, there are notable differences.
• Fee schedule portable document format (PDF) files in the Fee Schedule Data Files section are a "snapshot" of the Medicare physician fee schedule (MPFS) fees upon which providers' annual participation enrollment decisions are made. Also known as annual disclosure reports, the PDF files are usually updated annually and do not include any quarterly changes.
• Zipped (compressed) text-only files in the Fee Schedule Data Files section are derived from the annual disclosure files, but are formatted as tab-delimited text so the fees may be easily downloaded into a spreadsheet or database, for incorporation into billing software or for other uses. These tab-delimited text-only files are updated each quarter, as necessary.
• The allowances in the fee schedule lookup tool are pulled directly from the Part B processing system, MCS (Multi-carrier system), and are generally updated quarterly. Off-cycle updates to the MCS are included in the lookup responses, however. Additional fees, including those for carrier-priced codes and fees for certain services reimbursed from fee structures other than the MPFS are provided in the lookup tool (e.g., fee information for ambulance services, clinical laboratories, average sales price (ASP) drugs, and more).
• For MPFS services that are capped by the outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) amount, the PDF and zipped files provide only the capped amounts for you but the lookup application provides both the OPPS and NON-OPPS amounts. When both amounts are present in the lookup tool you should use the lower of the two.

It seemed like wherever the football was Friday night at Ernie Gates Field, Central Cass' Braeden Knutson was in the area.
So when the Squirrels needed the difference-making stop in the fourth quarter, the senior delivered the biggest play of the game.
With Jamestown only needing 17 yards for a touchdown on fourth-and-5, Knutson jumped on a halfback wheel route to turn the ball over on downs with 2 minutes, 12 seconds left in the contest.
Knutson finished out the game with an 8-yard run for Central Cass as it defeated the Blue Jays 20-13. Jamestown is now 1-2 on the year, while Central Cass is 3-0.
"I didn't really know what to expect but once the play started I saw the running back leak out and I just made a play when it mattered," Knutson said about the game-winning swat. "I just barely tipped the ball and it was enough."
Knutson finished with two touchdowns, including the game-winner, with 45 rushing yards, 48 yards in the air and many tackles on the defensive side.
"Braeden might've played the best game of the year so far for himself," said Squirrels coach Nate Lutkemeier. "He was a little bit of everywhere for us on some screen plays, some swing routes and did a really nice job defensively of being in on a lot of plays."
"The knockdown play at the end was one we haven't seen yet," Lutkemeier said of the fourth-down stop. "He made a great play on one we haven't repped a ton during the week because we haven't seen it much."
Jamestown took a 13-12 lead with 9:44 left in the fourth quarter after taking advantage of a poorly snapped punt by Central Cass that Brandon Dallman ran in from 5 yards two plays later.
The Squirrels responded with a four-minute, 10-play drive that finished with a 15-yard pass from quarterback Jonah Lentz to Knutson.
"That's a darn good football team," said Blue Jay coach Bill Nelson. "We did a lot of good things tonight but Central Cass made one more play than we did in the end."
There was many missed opportunities left on the football field for Jamestown, including a 21-play, 68-yard drive that ate up most of the time in the third quarter. The drive ended on fourth-and-goal after quarterback Tommy Falk was sacked at the 20-yard line.
"We have to find a way to make plays," Nelson said. "It's never going to be on one person but will be a team effort top to bottom."
In both of the Blue Jays' losses, late plays by the opposing team have cost them late. During Week 1's contest against Shanley, a big play set up the go-ahead touchdown. Jamestown fell six yards short on the final drive of the game to lose 27-26.
Dallman, the running back, rushed for 58 yards on 15 attempts after missing Aug. 31's game against Watford City with an injury. Aaron Mack also ran 13 times for 75 yards.
"Brandon did a nice job and had a nice week at practice," Nelson said. "He stepped up and ran the ball pretty solid."
Top reciever Jeremy Williams left the game and didn't return after sustaining a neck injury in the second quarter. Marcus Hochhalter led the Jays with 21 yards on a trio of catches.
Jamestown will travel to Turtle Mountain on Thursday night for a 7 p.m. contest on a short week of practice. The Braves are 2-1 after losing to 27-8 on Friday.
"We don't look too far ahead," Nelson said. "We'll break this game down and get some film on them."
