How can I get through the airport security lines faster?
First of all check that your carry-on baggage meets your airlines specifications and that it is not over-packed and that it does not contain any prohibited items.
Limit the amount of metal on your person e.g. no big jewellery, belt buckles, watches, hidden body piercings. All of these items will sound the metal detector and slow you down.
Put any liquids, aerosols and gels into a resealable transparent plastic bag and place this bag in the tray provided at the scanner.
Do not carry any drinks through to the departure lounge.
Ensure that any electrical items like laptops and cell phones are places in the trays provided and passed through the scanner.
Have the items at hand before you reach the scanner. Remove your coat or jacket and belt before reaching the front of the scanner line.
Have your boarding pass ready to hand to the officer. Never joke about bombs or weapons whilst going through security. All statements are taken seriously and could result in a conviction.

Harry Chapman Window Systems Ltd reside in Welland Business Park Rockingham Road. In case you thought double glazing only referred to home windows, you have been mistaken!
Double glazing is any glazed product consisting of two panes of glass with a niche in the middle. This may be both in a sealed unit, or in a secondary double glazing installation, which is different.
Most commonly, double glazing is utilized in windows however it is also obtainable in doorways, fixed glazed panels (for example along with doors, or ornamental stained glass panels), porches, and conservatories. Let’s take a look at a few of the possibilities. Harry Chapman Window Systems Ltd have a good selection.
If you are getting your home windows replaced with new double glazed models, it’s essential to contemplate getting your doors changed as well. Whether front door, again door, secure door, French doors or sliding patio doorways, it’s potential to find a wide variety of styles and finishes to enhance your home.
Aside from the fact they may enhance the energy efficiency of your own home, alternative double glazed doorways can even offer you improved security over single glazed doors, and should enhance the worth of your home.
Some homes were built with a glazed panel at the side of the entrance door. While these are hardly ever opening windows, heat can still be misplaced via the one layer of glass and you must think about replacing them with sealed double glazed panels.
These are available in quite a lot of materials and finishes to match the remainder of your home windows, and your doors. There are completely different styles of glass, clear or opaque, and in case you are anxious about security, then you can choose specifically treated toughened glass. There are additionally panels obtainable with a wide range of stained glass or etched designs on them.
Porches add additional area to your house, one other layer of insulation, and might usually improve the worth of your own home, particularly if your entrance door opens directly right into a dwelling room. They are often in a variety of sizes and kinds, to swimsuit virtually every home. They can be half glazed or totally glazed, and with a variety of finishes. They can include extremely safe porch doors, providing you with an extra layer of security.
Acting as an additional room, and increasing the worth of your home, a double glazed conservatory is a good addition to a house. Whether or not half glazed or totally glazed, the advantages of an insulated “room in your backyard” cannot be understated.
So if you understand about the advantages of double glazed home windows, assume how double glazing may also help different areas of your private home too.

A scene from 'My Fair Lady' by students from Loreto Secondary School Fermoy which was staged at Fermoy Community Youth Centre. L-r: Mary Moore Corry, Fiona Clifford, Caroline Condon, Caroline Byrne, Aisling Morrisson, Jacinta Finn, Ann-Marie O'Reagan, Siobhan Crowley, Fiona Barry and Edwina Walsh (centre).
‘Who did it?’ That was the question in November 1997 following the discovery by a member of the public of a ‘hoard’ of Adi Roche presidential election posters in a ditch at Ballinrush, Kilworth. While The Avondhu had ‘received numerous telephone calls’ regarding the number of posters which were ‘literally hanging around’ following the election, this blatant act of dumping placed the spotlight on the candidate and her ‘backers’, namely the Labour party. When contacted by The Avondhu, local Labour party activist, Tadhg O’Donovan ‘stated categorically that he had no idea how the posters came to be dumped’, saying it would have been ‘naive’ if any of his colleagues had dumped them and expected not to be found out.
With an estimated completion date of Easter 1998, work was under way on a 32 bedroom development at Corbett Court. Located on the main Cork to Dublin road, proprietor Declan Corbett saw it as a ‘logical step’, with the restaurant ‘going superbly well’ since opening. Upon completion, he was confident of attracting a range of guests to stay in rooms which would be finished ‘to a very high standard’, from holiday makers to business people. Oliver McCarthy was building contractor.
A Kilworth man who entered the sea in Kinsale, attempting to rescue a woman, was preparing to travel to Dublin Castle in November 1997, to receive a silver medal for bravery. Originally from Knockatrasnane, Richard Buttimer told The Avondhu the incident happened in 1994 when a car entered the sea. Unfortunately the woman couldn’t be saved, however Richard’s bravery was set to be commended.

Supporting a fashion show in Castlelyons in 1997 were Pat O'Leary, Nora Barry, Betty Hegarty, Mary Barry and Mary Hegarty.
Pictured at the presentation of the IFA Farm Homestead Awards in the Grand Hotel, Fermoy in November 1997, were l-r: Breda Horgan (event organiser), Jerry and Noreen Fitzgerald, Garrycaheragh, Ballynoe (winners of the maintenance section), Patsy Myers (Bank of Ireland, Fermoy) and Des Scanlon (event judge).
At a sponsor's night in The Grand Hotel Fermoy for Fermoy Rugby Club in 1997 were back l-r: Michael Barry (club president), Barry Collins (Brideview Homes), John Maher (Club Captain), Sean O'Farrell, Jamie O'Flynn (Centra) and Sean Kavanagh (Grand Hotel). Front l-r: Brian Martin (S.C.I.), Lil Ahern (Club Secretary), Eilis Noonan (Credit Union) and Alan Burdett (BERG Electronics).
A novel way of highlighting the poor state of local roads, found its way via the post to Mitchelstown based councillor and chairman of the Mallow Area Roads committee, Conor O’Callaghan. Informing a meeting of the committee that the ‘disturbing video’ sent by residents of Clonlough, Mitchelstown had ‘x-rated’ contents, it showed footage of the road which was described as being in ‘a terrible state’. Putting a ‘forceful case to the assembled county councillors’ at the area meeting, residents’ representative William Fox, upon being informed that ‘an engineer would inspect the road and bring back a report’, suggested ‘that he bring his wellingtons’.
A proud moment for the Gowen family from Downing, Kilworth who were selected Kerrygold Master Farmers of the Year for 1997. The award was presented annually by the Farm Apprenticeship Board, with the Gowen family the longest serving Master Farmers in the Board’s training programme, having registered in March 1965. Displaying an ‘exemplary record’ with the Board and providing ‘an excellent training environment’ for apprentices, regularly having two apprentices placed on their farm, the award was accepted by husband and wife, Michael and Gretta at the Board’s annual conference in Ennis.
A very capable Liscarroll side were no match for a determined Castletownroche side, who claimed the North Cork U21 B hurling championship crown in Doneraile in November 1997. An entertaining hour’s hurling was served up in spite of poor underfoot conditions, and although behind by 2 points at the interval, second half goals from Michael Farrell and Michael Lenihan, sent them on their way to victory. Jonathan O’Callaghan captained the side, who were claiming their first title at U21 level for 25 years.
The minor B footballers from Kildorrery failed in their bid to capture county honours, being defeated in a low scoring game by Grenagh, 1-3 to 0-9. Grenagh’s dominance at midfield placed the Hill defence under constant pressure and trailing by 0-6 to 0-1 at half-time, Kildorrery could only draw to within a point of the eventual champions in the second period, thanks to a goal from John Howard.
Further sporting success for Killavullen in 1997, when capturing the Fitzgerald Cup thanks to a 1-9 to 2-5 victory over Deel Rovers. Eight points in arrears at half-time in the final of the Avondhu junior A football league in Churchtown, scoring a solitary 2 points in the opening period, a marvellous second half recovery, including a goal by Dave Hartnett, secured the title. Captain was Ian O’Driscoll.

Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) has taken the victory at Il Lombardia. The Frenchman was dominant in the last kilometres of the Classic of the Fallen Leaves and crossed the finish line on his own.
The last Monument of the year was 241 kilometres long between Bergamo and Como. The day started with a breakaway of eight men that included riders like Davide Ballerini, Jhonatan Restrepo, Michael Storer and Marco Marcato, among others.
Behind them, teams like Movistar, LottoNL-Jumbo and Groupama-FDJ took the head of the peloton to control the escape. With 50 kilometres to go, the pack caught the escapees and moments later Primoz Roglic (LottoNL-Jumbo) attacked and was joined a couple of kilometres later by Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida), Egan Bernal (Sky) and Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ).
At around 16 kilometres to go, Pinot attacked and was followed only by Nibali. Close to the ten-kilometre mark, the Frenchman of Groupama-FDJ changed the pace again and left the winner of the 2017 edition of the race struggling behind. Pinot arrived to the last kilometre by himself and even had the time to celebrate with the public before crossing the finish line.
Behind him, Nibali was caught by the second chasing group, but attacked in the last kilometre and finished the race in the second place. BMC Racing Team's Dylan Teuns completed the podium of the Monument. Pinot is the first Frenchman that wins the race since 1997 when Laurent Jalabert took the victory of the classic.

It’s an exciting time to be a Phoenician. The Super Bowl and the Phoenix Open drew hordes of tourists, and there was no shortage of events for locals to attend as well (if you wanted to shell out the cash).
I’m not into spending money to see a celebrity show up to a club past midnight and stay for half an hour (depending on the celebrity), so I opted to attend the free Roots show at Super Bowl Central downtown.
The adventure began when Graham and I set off for the light-rail station at Montebello Avenue. We drove up to see a “Lot Full” sign at the parking lot entrance, but we thought maybe we’d get lucky. We saw a car pull out of a space in the last row, and it had another empty space right next to it. The first hurdle was conquered. We scarfed down the last of our personal size pizzas and walked over to the light-rail station. For $8 we had all-day passes to get us down to the madness. A train had just arrived, but we boarded the train that had already been waiting at the station — it was nearly empty. It was soon announced that the operator was on a break and the recently arrived train would be leaving first. We decided to stick it out so we could have a seat rather than ride a packed train. About 30 minutes later, we deboarded at Third and Jefferson streets, in the middle of the brightly lighted Times Square-esque block party.
We walked toward the Visit Mexico experience, which had LED screens of Mexican landmarks, large M-E-X-I-C-O letters to take photos with, sand sculptures of more landmarks and a green-screen photo booth. You could also buy some Mexican food and margaritas, of course.
We found the stage where the Roots would perform, but it took more than 15 minutes to get into the audience area. At various points our bodies were directly on strangers’, and many concertgoers resorted to pushing to get through. We considered leaving the entire Super Bowl Central but decided instead find the nearest restrooms. The portable toilets were located by Central and Washington. At this point, 7 p.m., the washing stations had run out of water, and the bathroom I entered was out of toilet paper. Good thing I had napkins in my purse. We wiped the soap off with a paper towel and walked back toward the concert stage.
This time we managed to find a few feet of space to watch the show. We formed a “circle of trust” with a couple of Seahawks fans and a middle-age woman who was a huge Roots fan. The two Seattle fans were completely decked out in green and navy. Our plan was to not allow anyone to pass through us and invade our space. We succeeded for the most part, except for a few people who saw me and decided the short girl would be easy to push past.
Within a few minutes, the Roots were on stage and the crowd became visibly more energized. The dancing began, the lights brightened and the music did not disappoint. At one point the Roots played “Jungle Boogie” — the crowd loved it. As Graham and I danced, I thought, “This was worth the effort.” They were as good as I remember them being when I went to “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” in 2010.
I couldn’t understand why, but the crowd thinned out toward the end of the show; we later found out people were no longer being let in. Anyone who left couldn’t return.
After more dancing, we decided to slip out a few minutes early to beat the crowds who would be trying to leave soon. But we couldn’t leave before getting a photo with the giant football.
Finally, it was time to wait for the next light-rail train. From the station we could hear the music from the nearby Tostitos stage; the “Cha-Cha Slide” was playing. A teenage girl in front of us took the opportunity to shoot a selfie video of her singing the lyrics and dancing. Many of the commuters, including Graham and me, also danced and sang. The train arrived shortly after. As its doors opened directly in front of us, I scrambled to find a seat and succeeded. My tired legs couldn’t take anymore standing or dancing. This final victory was the cherry on top of a fun evening of participating in the Super Bowl revelry.

As members of the CUA residential community, on-campus students take responsibility for the proper use, care, and maintenance of their own personal rooms and the common areas within their halls.
At the end of each academic year, Housing Services and Residence Life assess the condition of the residential facilities. The cost of repairs, replacements or extraordinary custodial services, both in common areas and in individual rooms, are then charged to the student accounts of the residents responsible for those areas.
Residents are made aware of this policy before check-in as it is included in the Residence Hall and Dining Services Agreement. When residents arrive on campus, they are provided with information on how to access the Student Life Code of Student Conduct online which further outlines the policy.
After the residence halls close, Residence Life will complete final building and room inspections for the academic year and will assess damage charges based upon those inspections. Once charges are assigned it generally takes 7-10 days to be posted to individual student accounts. Billing information in MyHousing, accessible through your Cardinal Students account, reflects current charges for all housing related items. Students with damage charges will receive notification indicating the charge for damages.
A common area is defined as any space and/or area outside a student room. This includes, but is not limited to stairwells, hallways, restrooms, lounges, elevators, entrance ways, recreation areas and study rooms. Community members share responsibility for ensuring that common areas are properly utilized. Damage charges resulting from the misuse or abuse of common areas will be assessed to all residents. If the individuals responsible for the damage are identified, then only those persons are charged.
If you feel that you have been incorrectly assessed for Improper Check-Out, Lock & Key Replacement, Room Damage and/or Shared Space Damage charges, you may submit a written appeal. In your appeal, please be specific and note which charges you are appealing as well as the reason(s) why you should not be charged. You will be notified of decisions regarding your appeal within 15 business days of its receipt.
Common Area Charges may not be appealed.
If you did not check-out with a staff member you waived your right to appeal any damage charge assessed.
The deadline to submit an appeal is July 1st. All appeals should be in writing and should come from the student. Housing Services and Residence Life staff are unable to discuss damages or damage charges over the phone until a written appeal has been received. Students should address their appeal to their Community Director as indicated in the Damage Billing Notification.
Please note that simply not paying your damage billing charges does not constitute an appeal. Failure to pay damage billing charges could result in a financial hold being placed on your student account.

Cut the eggplants in half, scoring on the skin at a 45 degree angle to the length of the eggplant. Soak the eggplant in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain. Stir-fry eggplant in hot wok and canola oil. Remove eggplant from pan. Drain oil. Brown ground pork in wok. Add all seasonings, save potato starch/water mixture, green onion and Szechuan peppercorns. Cook for 45-60 seconds to reduce liquid by half. Remove from heat, adding starch/water slurry to thicken sauge. Serve over medium-grain sticky white rice; season at table with freshly ground Szechuan peppercorns and green onion.
This recipe also makes excellent mapo tofu by substituting firm tofu for the eggplant.

Military and civilian armorers have succeeded in crafting the semi-automatic M1 battle rifle into an equally effective match arm for competitive shooters. This example was originally produced in1945 before being reworked into a National Match rifle. Improved accuracy is achieved through glass bedding of the receiver and by use of selected parts. Barrel straightness and bore diameter are closely controlled and checked in match-grade rifles. Approximately 3600 National Match M1 rifles were produced between 1953 and 1963.
John Cantius Garand was born on New Year's Day, 1888 in St. Remi, Quebec, Canada. After spending his early years in Canada, he moved with his family to Connecticut. Showing great mechanical aptitude from an early age, he designed and patented a screw jack at the age of 14; by his nineteenth birthday, Garand was working as a machinist. As his career progressed, he gained experience in tool and gauge making and design. Garand was also an accomplished marksman. On one occasion, it is said that he spent over $100 in a single day at the shooting galleries of Coney Island. During the First World War, Garand took a job in a micrometer factory in New York City. While employed there, he came up with a design for a machine gun and submitted it to the U.S. government.
As a result, he was hired as a designer by the Bureau of Standards, where his work with machine guns continued. Garand's design employed a mechanism in which the primer moved slightly rearward on firing with enough force to unlock the bolt. Army Ordnance officials were sufficiently impressed with the young man's work that in 1919, he was transferred to Springfield Armory at an annual salary of $3,500. With the success of John Browning-designed machine guns, the Army saw no need for a similar arm. Instead, Garand was tasked with developing a semi-automatic rifle based on his machine gun design.
By 1925, Garand had worked out many of the problems facing this new rifle, but a change in the design of the Army's .30-06 cartridge made Garand's primer-activated system unworkable. Undaunted, he re-designed his rifle to be gas-operated. Additional challenges were posed when the Army abandoned the .30-06 in favor of the .276 cartridge; Garand adapted his design to work with the new round, and in 1929, this design was the winner in Army acceptance trials. Instead of entering production, Garand's rifle faced yet another obstacle, as Army Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur insisted that the .30-06 be retained. Once again, Garand returned to his workshop and changed the design for use with the heavier cartridge. On January 9, 1936, the "U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30 M1" was adopted by the Army as its new battle rifle.
The Marine Corps followed suit in November, 1941, based at least in part on the rifle's favorable performance on Guadalcanal. Garand's original design was not without its share of problems. Most notable among these was a load failure with the seventh cartridge contained in the 8-round en bloc clip, a tendency to eject the clip with one round remaining, and an operating rod malfunction caused by prolonged exposure to rain. All of these were solved through minor improvements prior to the outbreak of the Second World War.
Original production M1s utilized a gas-trap actuator. This was changed to a gas-port system in 1940. Eventually, these early production rifles were converted to the new system during normal ordnance maintenance and rebuild cycles, but some did see service in the Philippines during the early days of the war. Other changes included the use of a compartment in the buttstock for storage of cleaning supplies, and improved sights. M1 variants include the M1C and M1D sniper rifles. Initial production was limited to Springfield Armory, and by the end of the war, nearly three and one-half million M1s had been produced in its shops. By mid-1943, Springfield's output topped 4,000 rifles each day. Winchester Repeating Arms accounted for over 500,000 more. With the conclusion of hostilities, Winchester's M1 production lines were shut down, and Springfield concentrated on rebuilding surviving service rifles. Production resumed during the Korean War, when nearly one million M1s were manufactured by Springfield Armory, Harrington & Richardson, and International Harvester. Production of the M1 ended in 1957.
The United States was the only nation to issue a semi-automatic rifle as a standard infantry arm during the Second World War, and the Garand's firepower proved to be a decisive factor in combat. The M1 proved to be rugged, dependable, and accurate, and it was also easy to strip and maintain in the field. M1s saw service in all theaters of the war and in extreme climates from the deserts of North Africa and the jungles of the Pacific to the frozen forests of Belgium and Germany.
Although initially viewed with suspicion by the soldiers to whom it was issued, the rifle proved itself time and again to be superior to any other infantry long arm up to that time. In fact, General George S. Patton called the M1 ". . . the greatest battle implement ever devised." General Douglas MacArthur added, "The Garand rifle . . . is one of the greatest contributions to our armed forces." Garand received many awards for his rifle, the highest of which came in March, 1944, when he was presented with the Civilian Medal of Honor for "exceptionally meritorious service to his country." He continued his work at Springfield Armory until his retirement in 1953, after 34 years of service.
The M1's successor, the selectable-fire M14, was based on his earlier design. All told, he held fifty-four firearms-related patents, all of which were signed over to the government, with no additional compensation paid to Garand other than his salary. John Garand died in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1974 at the age of 86. - The town of Springfield, Massachusetts, located on the banks of the Connecticut River, was settled in 1636 by emigrants from Roxbury. The town was nearly destroyed during King Philip's War in 1675, but it was quickly rebuilt.
Over the following year, buildings were rented or erected for use as barracks and storehouses. In addition to ordnance stores, the depot at Springfield also handled other aspects of army supply, including equipment, uniforms, tents, food, and fuel. The end of the War for Independence also brought a decline in military activities at Springfield. In 1794, an Act of Congress directed that national armories be established for the fabrication of small arms. President Washington selected Springfield and Harpers Ferry, which was then located in Virginia, as the sites for these facilities. In addition to the advantages that contributed to the presence of a Revolutionary War depot in the town, many skilled armory workers were still living nearby. The government acquired nearly 300 acres and constructed a dam to furnish power to the armory complex, as well as shops, offices, and storehouses. The first permanent structure to be constructed on the site was a brick powder magazine, which was torn down in 1842.
Additional buildings have been constructed as necessary over the years since. Production of arms at Springfield began in 1795, with 245 muskets manufactured during that year, and approximately 80,000 were turned out before production was discontinued in 1814. The Model 1795 muskets were the first standardized U.S. martial arms to be produced and were patterned after the French Model 1763 Charleville musket. Harpers Ferry Armory also produced a Model 1795 musket, but these were distinctly different from those manufactured at Springfield. The first known Springfield Armory-marked specimens were manufactured in 1799, and feature dated lockplates which bear an eagle stamp and the word "Springfield." The Model 1816 was first standardized U.S. martial arm to be manufactured at both Springfield and Harpers Ferry.
These arms enjoyed the longest production run in U.S. history, lasting until 1844, with nearly 700,000 muskets turned out during this period. Both armories also produced the Model 1842 percussion musket and Model 1855 percussion rifle-musket. These arms are significant in that the Model 1842 was the last U.S. regulation .69 caliber smoothbore, as well as the first to be made at both armories with completely interchangeable parts, while the Model 1855 rifle-musket was the first rifle-musket to be produced by the United States, the first to be produced in the new regulation .58 caliber, and the last arm to be produced at both government armories. In addition to commonly produced arms, each armory was the sole producer of certain other designs, such as the Model 1855 percussion pistol-carbine and various musketoons and cadet muskets that were produced solely at Springfield, or the Model 1803 flintlock rifle, and the Model 1841 percussion, or "Mississippi" rifles, both of which were produced only at Harpers Ferry. Model 1861 and 1863 rifle-muskets, which were based on a modification of the earlier Model 1855, were produced in great quantities throughout the Civil War.
The Marine Corps followed suit, and during the Second World War, over three and one-half million M1s were produced at Springfield. An additional 500,000 were manufactured by Winchester Repeating Arms Co. This rifle, which General George S. Patton called, "the greatest battle implement ever devised," gave American troops a significant edge over their German and Japanese enemies, most of whom were still equipped with bolt-action arms. After the war, Springfield ceased manufacture of the M1 and turned its efforts to the overhaul and long-term storage of these rifles. The outbreak of war in Korea in 1950 caused a resumption in production at the Armory, as well as by International Harvester and Harrington & Richardson. The return of peace brought a second and final discontinuation of M1 production.
Springfield Armory's continuing efforts at advancing military rifle designs yielded a series of improvements to the M1, culminating in production of the 7.62mm NATO caliber selective-fire M14 rifle, which replaced the Garand in the Army's inventory. In 1968, the Ordnance Department ceased operations at Springfield Armory. The Armory grounds, buildings, and museum, with its extensive arms and accouterments collection, have become Springfield Armory National Historic Site and are now maintained by the National Park Service.

Slimehead is not a word you would expect to find on the menu of a fancy restaurant. Like dolphin*, toothfish*, goosefish*, mudbug*, hog*, and gizzard fish*, slimeheads have undergone a bit re-branding over the last few decades to make their name as palatable as their fillets. Enter the Orange Roughy, a dull, uninspired name that captures nothing of the grandeur of Hoplostethus atlanticus and ignores the defining characteristic of these deep-sea fishes.
What does Orange Roughy mean to you? Well, it’s probably orange, and I guess roughy means it might be rough, or something. The name is pretty uninformative. But slimehead! Slimehead tells you quite a bit about this creature, and leads to some interesting ecological questions. Why is it’s head covered in slime? What does the slime do? How is the slime contained in its head?
This post was originally published on September 6, 2010 as a part of our first Week of Ocean Pseudoscience. Enjoy!
Wandering through the grocery store the other day, I noticed something strange in the fish bin. Now, in general I’m pretty conscious of where my fish comes from, how it was caught, whether the fishery as a whole or the specific population is sustainable. I pay attention to those details and I can usually tell when a company’s branding is legitimate and when it’s just greenwashing.
Imagine my shock when I found a packet of Orange Roughy, sold by the Full Circle brand, and marketed as sustainable.

I think the majority of you would admit that you are fed up with the mud slinging and name calling and news reports and speculation, but can I be the only one who feels personally attacked? Does anyone else feel demeaned by just about every political ad or social media post? If I don’t support one candidate, I’m immoral and turning a blind eye to corruption. If I throw my vote behind another, I am ignorant and sending this country to hell in a hand basket. And what of those who can’t vote their conscience with either major political party? They are made to feel that their vote for a third party is completely wasted. Well, that’s encouraging.
This election will go down in history – and not in a good way. Political discussions, when not descending into out-right shouting matches, have become nothing more than avenues to display our seeming superiority. We have forgotten how to disagree without vilifying those with opposing views. In essence, we’ve replaced love and respect with condescension.
I have heard many people express their eagerness for this election to be over, as if the ugliness will all be left behind on November 9. I’ve got news for you. It won’t. Not without a big change of heart. The day after the election will still find us disagreeing over the same things, and some will be angrier and more disgruntled than ever. To borrow from one campaign slogan, the only way we will “make America great again” is to love. We have to love each other enough to reintroduce civility into our conversations. After all, most of us really are just doing the best we can. We need to respect each other enough as fellow human beings to allow for differences of opinion. We have to recognize and remember how much value there is in each other.
As a Christian, I am praying for the outcome of this election. But the next President of the United States won’t be able to shift this contemptuous climate. Only God can change hearts.

Lynda Grace An Hour Away: Darn Ross and That LYS Lady!
I am always on the prowl looking for an LYS that I have not been to before. I have none in my immediate area so the few I frequent are an hour away. Through a Ravelry reference I discovered a new to me shop.
Of course once I discover these gems, I become obsessed with wanting to visit and explore. This hankering has been going on for a few weeks now. I tried to control the urge, though, because of....The Dreaded Stash.
So anyway on this past sunny Saturday, I asked Ross if he wanted to go for a drive. Even after he found out where I wanted to go he agreed. Ross will do anything to get out beyond the gates of our Active Adult Community. I said, "You know I cannot buy any more yarn. I just want to look." He said, "uh huh" with a knowing smile. "No really, I mean it I am not buying any more yarn!" He again said, "uh huh".
It was a nice drive. We were in an area we had not been to before. The shop was in a cute little strip mall. We walked in and of course there was the obligatory table with three women knitting away. One of the women smiled and asked if she could help. "No, not right now, I said. I just want to browse." I think I mumbled something about already having too much yarn.
So as I walked around touching all of the yarn I could feel myself starting to get the craving. The owner of the shop was following me with her eyes, making friendly comments about classes they offer, and how once a month the knitting group gets together and has dinner in one of the local restaurants. I said, "Oh that sounds like fun, but I am an hour away. I'm just browsing. And I really have way too much yarn already."
While making my way through each of the aisles I noticed a beautiful lacy scarf. I stopped in front of it and of course had to feel it. The owner got up from the table and came over. "Isn't that yarn beautiful?" she asked.
I agreed and told her that I loved the pattern and have been wanting to try knitting lace. She said, "Oh you will love this pattern, it's so simple." And then she rattled off the pattern sequence of yarn overs and knits and purls. As I continued to finger the scarf, she cunningly said, "If you buy the yarn, I will give you the pattern." Darn her! "Oh, please, I said. I just cannot, cannot possibly buy any more yarn, I have way too much already. "
I looked helplessly at Ross, wanting him to rescue me. He said "Oh go ahead, just get it. My treat. It will be part of your birthday present." Darn him! "But I have so much yarn already!", I whined. The owner said, "You will love this pattern so much that you'll want to start it as soon as you get home, so it really won't ever even become part of "The Dreaded Stash". The other two women sitting at the table chimed in nodding in agreement.
Walking out the door with three skeins of my beautiful new sparkly yarn, I felt pretty good. I had stuck to my convictions about not buying any more yarn. After all it wasn't my fault, the LYS lady talked me into it and Ross made the purchase.
And then I made the familiar promise to myself. "I will not buy any more yarn....well at least not until the next time."
So I have started the scarf and it really is a beautiful pattern.
it is a lovely pattern.. and quite technically you did not buy anymore yarn. ... Ross did!
I am still working on the scarf. I am at the point of "when is this ever going to get done?!"

Is there a formula to calculate child support?
What can I do if my ex has fallen into arrears in his child support payments?
How does child support differ from alimony?
Does child support cover my child’s unpaid medical bills and extracurricular activities?
At what age does child support terminate?
In most child support cases in New Jersey, child support is determined based upon Child Support Guidelines that are found in the New Jersey Court Rules. Cases that are not governed by the Guidelines typically involve parents with relatively high incomes. In those situations in which the parties earn relative high incomes, our courts consider several factors to determine the appropriate level of child support. Our firm’s divorce and family law attorneys are ready to evaluate your individual circumstances to provide you with an explanation of how the courts will likely evaluate your case.
Entering a judgment in your favor and against your ex for the arrears owed with interest.
Requiring the arrears to be paid on a periodic basis.
Suspending your ex’s driver’s license or occupational license.
Imposing economic sanctions or community service.
Issuing a warrant for your ex’s arrest.
Child support, which is not taxable income, exists to support children. Alimony or spousal support, which is taxable income, exists to support a former spouse.
Parents are typically required to share in proportion to their incomes their child’s medical bills that are not covered by health insurance. However, the parent who has residential custody of the child (or the parent who is designated to be the parent of primary residence) is typically responsible for the first $250 in uncovered medical expenses for each child each year. The New Jersey Court Rules provide that some activities fees are covered by the child support award under the Child Support Guidelines. However, parents are also typically required to pay for any agreed-upon extracurricular activity costs for their child in proportion to their incomes, with an understanding that one party will not unreasonably withhold his or her agreement for the child to participate in a given activity.
On February 1, 2017, a child support law became effective in the State of New Jersey, which provides that child support and medical support shall automatically terminate when a dependent child turns 19 years old, marries, dies, or enters military service. There are exceptions in which child support may continue beyond a child's 19th birthday. If a different age is specified in a court order or if a different age is specified in an agreement that was entered into by the child's parents, child support may be extended past age 19. Child support and medical support may also continue past the child's 19th birthday up to age 23 if the dependent child is still enrolled in high school or some other secondary education program, is enrolled full time in college or other post-secondary education program, or if the child is disabled. Child support is also exempt from automatic termination at age 19 if the child is still receiving support in an out-of-home placement through the Division of Child Protection and Placement and Permanency (DCP&P) in the Department of Children and Families past the age of 19, in which case, child support would end upon notification by the DCP&P that the child is no longer in placement or when the child turns 23, whichever occurs first. Contact the child support lawyers at our Middlesex County firm to discuss whether the circumstances of your case fall within the automatic child support termination age of 19 or whether your case falls within one of the exceptions that warrants child support past age 19.
Our Middlesex County child support lawyers take pride in their New Jersey roots, serving Middlesex County and the surrounding communities. For a free consultation, call 732-767-0044 or contact us online today to speak with us.

On a Junction of the GEML where the mainlines go off to Colchester, Ipswich and Norwich and 2 lines go off to Southend, with a later diversion at Wickford Junction to Southminster (for TS135!). There is a long section of straight track looking North.
Mainly passenger traffic with 90s, 315s, 321s and 360s.
Mostly Freightliner traffic to from Felixstowe and the WCML.
The station is covered by CCTV and staffed and is generally quite safe.
Get off the M25 at J28 and head along the A12 towards Brentwood. Get off at the A1023 and follow signs toward Shenfield.
The station has a secure car park.
One Great Eastern operate services from London, Ipswich, Colchester and Southend.
Best to stand in middle of platforms 3/4 to get the best look at trains using the station. Class 315s are the sole users of platforms 4+5 (apart from special workings) and terminate there (except for certain Early Morning services). Platforms 2+3 have services passing and stopping and platform 1 is used by services from Southend or Southminster. Unfortunately, this station has an auto announcer which can be quite loud on videos.

At the time when nation salutes martyr Udham Singh, who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, on the centenary of the bloodbath, cow dung cakes and weeds greet locals on the proposed site for a memorial to the martyr on the Cheema road in Sunam, which is the native town of Udham Singh.
The authorities have not laid even a single brick for the memorial, while a lone foundation stone exposes indifferent attitude of the government.
Locals had started demanding the memorial around 10 years ago. They sent written requests to the state authorities and protested also. On December 25, 2016, Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal laid the foundation stone of the memorial, while on July 31 last year, the Punjab government announced that it had sanctioned Rs 2.28 crore, but till date not a single penny has reached Sunam.
“We have been raising the issue for the construction of memorial for the last more than 10 years. But the insensitivity of the state government could be gauged from the fact that the authorities have not started the construction yet,” said Hardial Singh, who is the grandson of Aas Kaur, cousin of martyr Udham Singh.
Last year on July 31, Cabinet minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot had announced that CM Capt Amarinder Singh had sanctioned Rs 2.28 crore for the memorial to the martyr. He had also said Rs 1 crore as the first instalment in this regard would be released soon and the construction work would commence, but money is yet to be released.
Sunam SDM Manjit Kaur said the state government had released Rs 50 lakh for the construction of memorial to Udham Singh. “The money is lying in the account of the Sangrur administration as we are waiting for the approval of map of the memorial. We are pursuing the matter and hopefully construction will start soon,” she said.

Principal Pops Conductor Michael Feinstein and the Pasadena Pops recently presented a tribute to Leonard Bernstein as part of the “Leonard Bernstein at 100” centennial being celebrated around the globe.
The evening of wide-ranging music included songs from Bernstein’s Broadway classics “West Side Story” and “On the Town,” as well as music written by his contemporaries — pieces that influenced him and that he influenced.
Talented soloists joined the Pops orchestra for the special tribute, including Carol Lawrence, Broadway’s original Maria in “West Side Story”; Julian Ovenden, known for his roles on “Downton Abbey,” “Person of Interest” and “Smash”; Australian soprano and cabaret star Ali McGregor who wowed the crowd with her multi-octave range; and local La Cañada Flintridge native Finn Sagal, winner of the 2017 Songbook Academy Award and Great American Songbook Youth Ambassador.

In a recent Facebook post, I amused myself with “Contradict Your Cucumber.” But, I didn't include why it's so important ~ and why it's especially important to reassure the little green cuke. Here's why.
But, first, let's just circle back on a modest point: that is, since most social media is a family channel, I try to keep my humor to PG-13. But, temptation is, well, tempting.
Hands hovering over my keyboard, I paused. Make it a late night with girlfriends, and this could go downtown fast with HBO’s mature-audiences. But, its daylight and, as a (semi-)respectable gardening therapist, I corralled myself: "Keep it uptown, Gurrl. Be PG-13."
Salad! My nice girl prevailed, but happily not without a struggle.
Posting Kermit-green pics, I suggested we slice our liver-cleansing cucumbers into our liver-toxic gin & tonics, plus added a few other foodie ideas so you'd be kind about my party attitude. You can scroll to the very end of this mashup for the exact wording or click through to the actual Facebook post here.
Find a relaxed place to sit with the cucumber. Maybe a breezy farmer’s market where the green fella can see other veggies and know it’s not alone.
Then, and this is why contradicting your old ways is important, so cue in here: Gently explain that shifting away from a routine loosens up your brain’s dulled pathways, making you more creative, more alive. Sure, maybe even uncertain or fearful, but that qualifies as more alive ~ not flat lined. So, no, you’re not going to have another salad. You're just not.
But, this doesn’t change how you feel about the cucumber's familiarity. You and the cuke go way back. So, give the little green soon-to-be pickle an extra bit of reassurance. Changing life up for ourselves might be tricky, but it feels even trickier to those around us. It’s hard for them, too; it triggers latent fears of loss and unworthiness.
So, yes definitely: Reassure your buddy that, while your simple almost-humdrum rituals of sharing salads make you feel secure in this chaotic world (& this is important), spontaneity is just as important. It spiffs life up.
Spontaneity doesn't have to be loud or Instagram worthy. It just has to be sincere; for instance, there's talking out loud about dreams or, again, there's wanting to skip the salad, so to speak. This kind of newness takes courage. A lot of courage.
Just know that, well, if you try something new, you might accidentally annoy your cucumber, your old standby salad companion (which, by the way, usually is a sign of that unconscious worry I just talked about, that you'll leave them.) So, yes, yes, yes, encourage your cucumber to, alongside you, try more spontaneity for itself, too.
And if, after these little life lessons, your cucumber is still talking to you, and you find yourself talking to it, um, well, maybe drink one less cucumber-doused gin & tonic.
Since cucumbers clean the liver, dice some up and keep a pitcher in the frig. No need to peel them. Plus, secretly enjoy the lemons getting jealous.
Contradict the cucumber's liver-cleaning benefits by slicing it into your alcohol, especially a gin & tonic.

Have you ever written a poem? I am not very good at poetry but I do like to write from time to time. Sometimes the poem starts out strong and it flows and sounds beautiful, but then I hit a wall and can’t find the words to continue my rhyme. Sometimes the idea is there but the right words just won’t come. So I go back and read the flow from the beginning, hoping that by reflecting on what was already written, the rest would pour out, and the poem will be a masterpiece.
Life is kind of like this. At least for me, I know that my life is a masterpiece in the Lord’s eyes, I know He has a plan for my life that is greater than any I could ever imagine. Yet I find myself going back and revisiting the years that have already passed, looking for the moments that filled me with joy and confidence. I keep searching for a feeling that will flow forward and bring contentment in my today.
That is not to say I am not content, I am, for the most part, but there is a break in the flow of my life’s poem, verses missing. My relationship with the Lord is strengthening every day and I am finding joy even in my struggles and daily frustrations. So what am I searching for? Why do I keep re-reading each page of my life and searching for meaning? For the most part, this life has been an anomalous experience. Yet, there is a break in the flow of my life’s poem, there are verses missing. Perhaps it is because I am getting older and have begun to face the reality of my legacy. But that is for another post.
I know the story of my life is not yet complete, I know the best verse has not yet been written, I know that when the Lord has completed His good work in me I will be a masterpiece.
Today’s thought: The treasures in your heart are building blocks filling you with passion and hope for a future beyond expectation.

on 02 February 2015 .
The IFBT continues to eagerly adapt competitions and classification regulations to the suggestions by the afiliated federations and particularly to those suggestions by their players. On this subject, we should highlight a new classification system for international competitions as well as a new policy regarding the minimum sums in awards that classifying competitions are required to give.
The most important world circuit is the World Cup Tour (WCT) which gathers the championships hosted in the most important cities in the world. They were called G1 and will now be called WCT; they will be awarded with US$ 2.500 to 5.000.
Intercontinental championships are also to be organized as well as the international Open Series with two categories: Open-1 awarded with US $500 to $2499 and Open-2 with US $0 to $499.
It will also be possible to organize international championships for Advanced and Over & Under categories. All of them can earn points to enter the eight IFBT existing rankings.
The score table has also been changed with slightly new scores. An important change has been to limit the maximum number of classifying competitions to enter the ranking. Until 31st January, only the 15 best results obtained in competition over 18 months were counted. From now on, only the 8 best results over 18 months will be counted. This new classification system will be implemented in two stages: as from 1st February, the best 12 will be counted, and as from 1st July, the best 8.

Superb experience with Modern Real Estate!!
My wife and I recently used Modern Real Estate to find our first home together. Josh Blank was amazing. He took the time to learn about what we were looking for and understand what was important to us. He was very patient with as he directed us to numerous houses on line and brought us to over 25 homes in person. He was constantly making sure we knew about all the homes in our price range and area so we could make an informed decision. We never felt pressured or rushed. When we found our dream home Josh turned into a master negotiator helping us to work down the price. There were a few things in the house that needed fixing. Josh was able to negotiate these items into the deal so we didn't need to reach into our pocket.
Unquestionably, I highly recommend Modern Real Estate. They gave my wife and me the personal attention and support we needed to make our home buying process seamless and stress free!
I have recommended Modern to several people who have had similiar experiences and will continue to do so!
My girlfriend and I had an excellent experience with Modern Realty, and especially our agent, Aaron Morey. My gf and I had looked at a number of places with other agents. While the other agents weren't bad, they didn't have the same feel for what we were looking for. We were shown some good places, okay places, and some dumps. Everything that Aaron showed us was superb, and exactly what we were looking for. We found a place that we LOVE (the second place he showed us) and the paperwork just went through. He was helpful and up-front about everything. He told us what we would have to do to secure the place, how much we would have to pay. He was very honest. I would highly recommend working with Aaron!!! The apartment we got was listed with another agency, who wasn't able to rent it. The moment Aaron showed us the place, we assured him this was our dream home and he did what was necessary to make sure we got it. I just can't say enough positive things about our experience with Aaron Morey.
In the "usually" strenuous process to get an apartment in Boston, Joshua Gorelick from Modern real estate made it very simple and successful. I currently go to Berklee and needed a nice two bedroom apartment close by, and Joshua Gorelick managed to get us the perfect place. Josh made sure to find a perfect time that we could all meet and never seemed in a hurry to get things over with. He has managed to work with us on the payment schedule, because it is always difficult to make apartment payments as a struggling musician and student, while keeping everything in a very professional manner. Anyone I have run into that has needed help finding a place, I have sent to him, and Modern Real Estate. Great guy, Great real estate company, and overall a great apartment and experience, I would recommend Josh and this company to anyone needing a real estate company here.
I rented an apartment in Brighton last year thru Modern Real Estate and they made that process very easy. It was easy because my agent Chris Correia was helpful, really sincere, honest, trustworthy, and showed us exactly what we wanted while still giving us options in case we wanted to lower our price range or raise it depending on the place we saw. I have been renting apartments in Boston for many years and this was one of the better experiences I have had. I would totally recommend Modern and Chris specifically if you are looking for a place to live and don't want to get dragged through the muddy realtor waters.
I had a great experience with Modern Realty. Our agent was Aaron. I contacted him regarding a craigslist ad and we spoke on the phone. He asked me basic questions about the size of the apartment, area and price. When I met with him for the first time he was really well prepared with the list of the apartments and a map showing me where the apartments are located (it was important to me that it will be on the T line). He showed me places in my price range, asking if I could go higher on the price and if so he would have more options, but without pressuring me. He had a lot of patience with us, working with me and my boyfriend and after choosing the apartment he met with us again just so we could measure the place before I moved in. Aaron was a great agent to work with, friendly and professional, I would highly recommend him.
I am a Wentworth student, and I was looking for an apartment in Mission Hill for the fall semester. I contacted Josh Gorelick from Modern Realty through a craigslist ad. Josh was very helpful and he put my 4 roommates and me into a 4 bed we really liked for a negotiated price and with a negotiated fee. All around I found Josh to be very helpful, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment in Boston. He also gave us a good incentive for referring our friends who were looking for apartments.
This was by far the best Apartment finding experience of my life! I have many pets and was in an apt that I was uncomfortable living in but Elissa found us the perfect place and we were moving within 2 weeks! The whole office was great! I toured apts with Elissa and she was fantastic. She was friendly, outgoing, and made what I thought would be a painful experience a delight! She found us the place of our dreams! Check them out!!!!
I've used them each time I needed a new apartment and they have been great every time. Their agents are so knowledgeable about the area, listen to what YOU want in an apartment, and only show you places that fit what you are looking for. They are always nice and helpful even when I have a lot of questions. I will continue to use Modern Real Estate and definitely recommend them to all of my friends.
We toured apartments with Alex Matthews who was great! He got back to us quickly with a list of apartments including everything we requested and nothing that was really over our budget (like a lot of realtors do). Touring with him was the best experience I've had with a realtor. He is easy going and friendly, and he didn't push selling anything. He just gave us the information we needed to know and let us look around. We ended up finding our apartment in the same day. Easiest experience ever. Thanks Alex!
BEST Realtor experience I've had in Boston (and I've lived in eight different apartments in the area). Elissa Webb was our realtor, and she was totally friendly, understanding, and fun. We have a dog and a cat, which severely limits our apartment search, since so many landlords won't take pets.
However, Elissa showed us a ton of amazing places that really fit our needs, personalities, and budgets. She never tried to oversell us or make us try anything we weren't interested in.
GO TO MODERN to find your next apartment. You won't be disappointed!
We rented our apartment in Brighton through Alex at Modern Real Estate. We found Alex through a craigslist advertisement. Overall experience was good. Alex was very personable and worked very hard to get us what we were looking for. He was easy to talk to and communicated with us throughout the entire process so that we felt comfortable with the entire transaction. Customer service is still very important to us and we feel like we received it. Ask for Alex M. if you can.

Schizophrenia is one of the most devastating neurological conditions, with only 30 percent of sufferers ever experiencing full recovery. While current medications can control most psychotic symptoms, their side effects can leave individuals so severely impaired that the disease ranks among the top ten causes of disability in developed countries.
"Part of the terror of schizophrenia is that the brain can't properly integrate sensory information, so the world is a disorientating series of unrelated bits of input," says Albright, the Conrad T. Prebys Chair in Vision Research. "We've created a model that tests the ability to do sensory integration, which should be extremely useful for pharmaceutical research."
Currently, over 1.1 percent of the world's population has schizophrenia, with an estimated three million individuals in the United States alone. The economic cost is high: In 2002, Americans spent nearly $63 billion on treatment and managing disability. The emotional cost is higher still: Ten percent of those with schizophrenia are driven to commit suicide by the burden of coping with the disease.
Initially, it was thought that excessive amounts of the neurotransmitter dopamine caused psychotic symptoms, and indeed, current anti-psychotic drugs work by blocking dopamine from entering brain cells. But nearly all of these drugs have severe cognitive side effects, which led researchers to speculate that some other mechanism must also be involved.
A major clue to understanding schizophrenia came with the development of phencyclidine (PCP) in 1956. It was intended to keep patients safely asleep during surgeries, but many woke up with symptoms similar to those experienced by people with schizophrenia, including hallucinations and the disorientation of feeling "dissociated" from their limbs, resulting in PCP being abandoned for clinical purposes. A decade later, it was replaced by a derivative called ketamine. At doses high enough to put patients to sleep, ketamine is an effective anesthetic. At lower doses, it temporarily produces the same schizophrenia-like effects as PCP.
The two drugs are part of a class called N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists. Essentially, they work by gumming up the mechanism by which glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter, would enter brain cells. Thus, it is clear that dopamine dysfunction accounts for some of the symptoms of psychosis, although that is probably not the full story.
"While dopamine has limited reach in the brain, any dysfunction in glutamate would be expected to have the sort of widespread effects we see in the perceptual disorders associated with schizophrenia," says Albright. "Nevertheless, which neurotransmitter was primary to these disorders—glutamate or dopamine—has been argued about for years."
Standing in the way of a definitive answer was a researcher's Catch-22: Many experiments designed to understand cognitive disorders such as schizophrenia or Alzheimer's require a participant's conscious attention-yet these disorders interfere with attention.
To get around this, scientists turned to electroencephalograms (EEGs), which can be used to detect changes in cases where a subject is not consciously paying attention to a stimulus, by recording the brain's electrical signals through electrodes placed in a scalp cap. In one test, a series of tones is played, but an "oddball" tone breaks the pattern in the sequence. A healthy brain can still easily spot the differences, even if a participant is concentrating on another task, such as reading a magazine.
"The test works because the brain is a prediction machine-it's built to anticipate what should come next," says Albright. "If you have healthy working memory, you should be able to perceive a pattern and notice when something violates it, but patients suffering from some mental health disorders lack that basic ability."
In their latest research, Albright's team detected the difference through two signals, event-related brain potentials called mismatch negativity (MMN) and P3. The MMN reflects differential brain activity to the detected oddball tone, below the level of conscious awareness. P3 picks up the next phase: a subject's attention orientation to the oddball tone.
Still, a gap in understanding remained. While scientists could do cellular work in animal models on the role of dopamine versus glutamate, and they could do EEGs in human beings, a bridge between the two remained elusive. Such a bridge can help scientists understanding of how healthy and disordered brains work from the cellular level all the way to the multiple interactions between brain areas. Moreover, it can enable pre-clinical and clinical trials linking cellular and systems levels for successful therapeutic avenues.
Gil-da-Costa has at last crossed the bridge by crafting the first non-invasive scalp EEG setup that records accurately from the brains of non-human primates, with the same proportional density of electrodes as a human cap and no distortions in signal caused by an incorrect fit. This setup allows him to get accurate measurements of MMN and P3, with the same protocols that are followed in humans. As a result, the lab has come closer than ever before to untangling the roles of dopamine and glutamate.
"While rodents are essential for understanding mechanisms at a cellular or molecular level, at a higher cognitive level, the best you could do was a sort of rough analogy. Now, finally, we can have a one-to-one correspondence," says Gil-da-Costa. "For sensory integration, our findings with this model support the glutamate hypothesis."
Pharmaceutical companies are interested in the model, because of the potential for more precise testing and the universality of the MMN/P3 assays. "These brain makers are the same across dozens of neurological diseases, as well as brain trauma, so you can test potential therapies not just for schizophrenia, but for conditions such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, bi-polar disorder, and traumatic brain injuries," says Gil-da-Costa. "We hope this will help begin a new era in neurological therapeutics."

Please read the information below and fill out the audition form at the bottom of this page.
We have a vision for continuously increasing our worship ministry here at City Life. Auditions are a very practical tool for evaluating the skills and heart of people who feel called to serve on a worship team. And we promise that it will never be like American Idol! We want to create a "dread free" atmosphere for our audition process as much as possible. At the same time, we value honesty, and we want to encourage the pursuit of skill in the music we present to the Lord.
If you have a heart to lead others into meaningful worship, and you feel you are skilled with your voice or musical instrument, we would love to get to know you! Please read the expecations and requirements for participation on the worship team below, and fill out the questions as completely as possible. We will be getting in touch with you about scheduling an audition.
To be eligible for the worship team, you must consider City Life Church to be your home church, and have attended regularly.
Participation in a life group and membership class is encouraged. You should be in agreement with our mission and vision statements. We are looking for trustworthy, team-minded people who will take the commitment seriously. Maintaining a humble, teachable attitude is very important. The worship team is not a platform for showcasing individual talents, but a place of service to the congregation.
Previous experience on a worship team or in a band can be helpful but is not required. While there are similar principals used in most live music situtuations, every band or team experience is different. Be prepared to learn new ways of doing things even as we follow standard practices.
The time requirement for worship team members is approximately 6 hours per week when they are scheduled for the weekend services. (This time frame does not include personal practice time.) Included in the time requirements are Tuesday night rehearsals (7:30-9pm) and Sunday morning services (8:15am-12:30pm). Team members are required to stay for the entire service, though they are not required to sit through both messages. All team members are encouraged to sit through one entire service.
We make every attempt to not overschedule team members. You do not have to play every month to be on the worship team. There may be months where you are not scheduled.
We expect all individuals to use our service planning tool www.planningcenteronline.com for scheduling. Planning Center has various tools you can use.
Block-out the days you would like not to serve.
Limit the number of times you serve per month.
Below are the basic skills needed for each postition on the worship team.
Be able to control vocal elements such as volume and vibrato in order to blend with the worship leader and other vocalists. The ability to sing in different styles is very desirable.

Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding.
[Creationists’] theology is such that if one thing is wrong with the Bible, you have to throw it all out. So that’s why Genesis has to be interpreted literally. They look at science the same way. If one little piece of the evolution puzzle doesn’t fit, well the whole thing has to go. And of course that’s not the way science is done.
Wednesday: A rather intense debate on what time it was got sparked as Ricky showed up late to chat. Forum talk quickly took its place, mostly based off of this post by Dave. Amongst the topics were skeptical Achilles’ heels (“You’re too unreasonable to accept my position”) and skeptical blind spots. Mab shared this awesome video of slow motion lightning. We talked about forum members who didn’t show up behind their backs, as promised. Chefcrsh got in trouble over on JREF forums. Some members got offended at an innocent statement about 9/11, and he said “If you continue to parse down the same sentence I am sure you could find the letters f and u in it somewhere, and be really offended, if you want. But that that would be your own problem.” Chefcrsh made a rather nice rebuttal about the whole thing. To end things off, a discussion over how much “raising awareness” actually does for a cause. The idea was prompted by a Colbert Report interview, and as a result, several videos were shared.

Nationals' Doug Fister looked to be debuting a very odd new strikeout celebration on the mound on Thursday, when he turned around and started picking through the dirt after punching out Evan Longoria to end the first inning.
It turns out Fister was just looking for his wedding ring, which somehow slipped off his finger on the innings final delivery.
It did not take long for the Washington starter to recover the missing jewelry, saving his marriage while confusing viewers and teammates.
The Washington Post points out that Fister was just married in November of 2014, and that his wife had some ring trouble of her own since then, posting a photo of her finger turning purple due to her ring being too small.

Welcome to the May 2010 edition of the Gaming My Way Blog Carnival. Here are this month’s contributions.
Jimmy Lofton begins the carnival this month with The evolution of the DS at Phantasy Gaming. He briefly goes over the long history of the Nintendo DS and all of it’s iterations, and also has a few comments on Nintendo’s choice to release so many versions of their handheld so quickly. An interesting read, so head on over and check it out.
Eric Gargiulo comments on the current console war between the PS3 and 360 in his piece Console Wars: Playstation 3 Vs. Xbox 360 at CamelClutchBlog.com. For a piece comparing the PS3 and 360, he does have a lot to say about the Wii. Most of which I must respectfully disagree with, as I quite enjoy the Wii and the motion controlled gaming. I simply ignore shovelware and play the good games, just like I would on any console. However, after the Wii bashing, he gets into an extensive comparison between the PS3 and 360, covering a large area of console features in coming to his conclusion for his favorite for this year. Read his piece to find out which console he thinks will come out on top.
Shaun Hudley tells how all of his family enjoyed playing video games on the Wii in his post The Family Gets Together at What Nintendo Did For The Hudley’s, asking, “What can Nintendo do for your family?” Well depends on the family, but if they’re anything like Shaun’s (and many more families than traditional consoles will reach), then likely Nintendo can get that family into gaming to give them something else they can do together.
Meg details her experience playing the alpha version of Fantasy University over at Simpson’s Paradox. It sounds a lot like Kingdom of Loathing for Facebook, but with it’s own original twists that justify it being it’s own game. It also sounds like it’s not going to suffer the pitfalls most Facebook wannabe games suffer from. Indeed, from what Meg has said, FU sounds like it’s shaping up to be a real game without any spamtastic tendencies. If this turns out to be the case in the final version, Facebook games will have a lot of good lessons to learn here.
Z. W. Van Kleeck has two pieces for us today over at Hit, Crit, or Miss: Gaming Insights. First up, he tells us that there’s more to RPGs than XP and items in RPGs Are Not Just Games Where You Equip Items And Use Magic. While he makes some interesting points, I think it’s safe to call games such as Final Fantasy RPGs. This isn’t because they provide choice, but because they picked they’re genre from their source material, and the original Final Fantasy played a lot like computerized Dungeons and Dragons. Now, I would never try to argue that games such as this are an RPG in the sense World of Darkness or Dungeons and Dragons is, but terms do evolve with time, and RPG is one that now has multiple meanings. However, he makes some good points about this, and they are all worth taking into consideration when evaluating if a game is an RPG, or a true RPG. I do, however, agree with him that it’s ridiculous to call anything with some RPG elements an RPG, I just happen to think the line is a bit fuzzy.
His second piece is Used Games v.s. Pirated Games: Which Is Worse For The Developers? Now, I try to by new whenever possible, which is basically anytime the game is still available new. For five extra dollars, I can afford to support the developers of games I like and who provide a quality product. However, I also support the right of anyone to sell the physical media they purchased as well. Yeah, I know you technically license the game, but by selling the physical media, you also sell the rights to your license, so still no problem. It’s the same thing as selling off your used TV set when you don’t want it anymore. However, this is something that should always be in the back of gamers’ minds when making decisions about purchases, since supporting the developers is what will get us more games in the future. Some good points in here that should get you thinking. I still say inconvenient DRM for any reason is bad though.
That concludes this edition of the Gaming My Way Blog Carnival. You can use the carnival submission form to submit posts for next month’s carnival, to be hosted on June 24, 2010. Be sure to check out some of the posts of other submitters and perhaps leave a friendly comment or two if you like their work.

There was no Christmas cheer in the unemployment figures.
There was no ray of starlight to illuminate the blanket of gloom in the labour market.
This looks like the continuation of a grim process of attrition with job losses announced weekly and the unemployment total rising relentlessly throughout next year.
The headline figure of 1.86 million unemployed covers the period up to the end of October.
Job loss announcements by companies gathered momentum in November. Those will swell the next set of official figures published in January.
The respected Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development predicts "an annus horribilis" for the jobs market in 2009.
The narrower claimant count saw its biggest monthly increase, nearly 78,000 in November, since the depths of the last recession in 1991.
But the October figure was revised up 15,000. So nearly 100,000 more people are claiming Jobseekers' Allowance than the reported level in early November.
The number of jobs in the economy has declined.
The fall in financial and business services jobs, down 1.1% in the quarter, was almost as big as the decline for manufacturing where the number of posts fell by 1.4%.
This is indeed a widespread downturn with few areas of the economy escaping the effects.
Total employment fell by 0.4% in the quarter. But it would have been more if there had not been a rise in public sector employment.
Recruitment in the NHS was the main reason for the increase in the number on the government payroll.
It's worth noting, though, that employment levels are still higher than a year ago.
Government sources make clear there can be no disguising the extent of the downturn.
They point out, however, that Jobcentres are better resourced than before and well positioned to advise people on new routes back to work.
They argue that there are more than half a million vacancies in the economy.
The claimant count of 1 million, officials argue, is not a static pool of people facing long-term unemployment.
Many will find jobs within a few months, to be replaced by others who have been made redundant.
This feels like a defensive position ahead of a long and painful process.
Ministers acknowledge that unemployment will be one of the defining issues of 2009.
They won't give their own predictions. They won't be drawn on forecasts of 3 million unemployed on the wider measure.
But tucked away in the pre-Budget report is an assumption that the claimant count will reach 1.5 million.
Whitehall is clearly braced for many more announcements like today's.
