game of life


Real life is similar to a game. I call it, “The Game of Life.” We are all born into this game of life. We could call this game, “The Game of War”. Why? Because there are two sides: good and evil. The captains of our game are God and Satan.
There are rules to the game. The rules are given by God. They are found in his scriptures and are his commandments.
We, are all players in the game, and each of us has the right to choose which side we want to be on. Any time during our lifetime we can chose to be on either team.
To be on God’s side, we must be obedient to the rules or the commandments of the game.
To be on Satan’s side we just need to be disobedient to the rules or commandments of the game.
While we are playing the game, our captains, God or Satan, (good or evil) is trying to influence us, through our thoughts, inspiration, and our experiences and through other people. Each captain is trying to get us on their side. We each have our free agency to choose which side we want to be on, we are never forced on either side.
There is a purpose to the game; to test us to see which captain we will follow. We are given free agency so we can choose which side we want to be on and who will win the game, God or Satan, (good or evil). The choice is up to us. We will either become winners or losers depending on how we play the game, how we follow the rules and whom we follow, depending on the side we choose.
There are consequences to the choices we make. The final winners of the game will be the ones, who are still on God’s team when they die. The loser are on Satan’s team at the their time of death.
The problem with the game is that whether you know the rules to the game, or not, the outcome is the same. If you follow God’s rules (commandments) you are a winner, if you choose not to follow the rules you are a loser. In order to win the game you must know the rules and obey them.
Where do you find the rules? In God’s scriptures. You must read them and know them and then follow them to know how to play the game, if you want to be a winner. Some of the other players on God’s side can also help you know the rules.
God’s wants you to win so you can be happy, so he not only gives you the rules (his scriptures) he also provides other players who know the rules who can help you learn them. (Prophets, good families and righteous people who are about you and any others who want you to win.)
Satan wants you to lose the game so he will mix up the rules so you don’t understand them and he has players too, on his team, who will blind you with lies and influence you in bad ways, so you won’t follow the commandments or believe them.
The game has two consequences. The first is whether you will enjoy the game while you are playing it or whether you will be miserable while you are playing this game of life. The only way to be happy playing the game is to obey the rules by being on the right side, God’s side. The way to be miserable, while you play the game is to disobey the rules. Even though being on Satan’s side might bring temporary pleasure, it is not lasting. Only God’s happiness and joy is lasting. It’s that simple.
The second outcome is that when the game is over, which is death, all of the points will be tallied up by the two captains, God and Satan, and whoever has the most points gets you on his team in the next life.
If you were obedient and on God’s team, when you died, you will be a winner and your prize will be eternal life, You will live with God, your Heavenly Father and his Son, your Savior Jesus Christ (who atoned for the mistakes you made, while you were playing the game, on the wrong side, but eventually chose the right side). You will live forever in a state of happiness after you die.
If you were disobedient to the rules of the game and died while still on Satan’s side you will lose the game. Your consequence will be that you will not be able to live with your Father in Heaven or His son Jesus Christ and your existence will be forever in a state of misery with Satan. You will know you made the wrong choice and choose the wrong captain and the game has ended and you can’t go back and change it.
The good thing about the game of life is that at any time, up until death, you can choose to be on the winning team and follow God. The way to do this is to repent of the evil things you did while you were on the wrong team and start obeying the rules, the commandments. God will automatically accept you on his winning team. All of the mistakes, which you made while playing on the losing side, will be forgotten and forgiven, if you repent.
The problem is that you never know when your game of life will end. You never know when you will die, so always choose to be on the good side, God’s side and be a winner in your game of life.

astronauts of the mercury project


In 1961 President John F. Kennedy spoke to the American people and promised that the United States would land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. America’s goal was to show the world that it had the best technology and was the most powerful nation. On July 20, 1969 Apollo 11 landed on the moon and astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human to put a foot on the lunar surface.
Before the Apollo project began NASA’s Mercury and Gemini programs put astronauts into an orbit around the Earth. But Project Apollo was a very difficult and different mission. NASA needed a powerful rocket that could escape the Earth’s gravity and travel all the way to the moon. After Kennedy’s speech, NASA started work on such a rocket. The Saturn V booster was finished in 1967. It was the greatest rocket ever built.
The Apollo spacecraft was made up of three parts. The command module was main part. It was where the astronauts lived during the trip to the moon. It had all the instruments and computers that were needed for such a mission and it was the only part of the spacecraft that returned to Earth.
The service module had its own rockets. They were used to slow down the Apollo spacecraft when it entered the moon’s orbit. Without these rockets the spacecraft would be too fast and fly right past the moon.
The third part of the Apollo spacecraft was the lunar module. It was rather small and had legs that looked like a spider’s. When the astronauts got into the moon’s orbit they separated the lunar module and flew it down to the moon’s surface. The landing craft had two parts: the lower part was used for slowing it down so that it could land gently, the upper part would let the astronauts return to the command module.
In 1967 a tragic accident almost ended the Apollo project. A fire broke out in the Apollo 1 spacecraft during a test on the ground. All three astronauts were killed.
After more testing and some unmanned flights Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to fly to the moon. It entered lunar orbit, flew around the dark side of the moon and back to Earth again. After two more Apollo missions NASA was ready for a moon landing.
On July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 took off from Cape Kennedy, Florida. Aboard the spacecraft were 3 astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins. Three days later they entered the moon’s orbit. Armstrong and Aldrin got into the lunar module; Collins was left behind in the command module.
On July 20, 1969 the “Eagle”, as the lunar module was called, touched down softly in a lowland called Sea of Tranquility. A television camera that was attached to the side of the spacecraft sent live pictures back to Earth where millions of people were watching. After checking Eagle to see if everything was all right, Armstrong lowered a ladder and stepped down on the moon’s surface. It was “one small step for man, but one giant leap for mankind.”
The astronauts spent about two and a half hours on the lunar surface. They put up the American flag, collected rocks and set up instruments. After lifting off from the surface of the moon they flew back to the command module and successfully joined Michael Collins. On July 24, 1969 Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. The first American moon mission was a success.
In the years that followed there were five more lunar landings. But not all Apollo flights were successful. Apollo 13 almost ended in disaster. During its journey to the moon one of the two oxygen tanks exploded. They were vital for breathing and for the power systems of the command module. The three astronauts had to get into the lunar module, which had its own power and oxygen, but the LM was planned only for two astronauts, not three. All unnecessary systems had to be turned off so that it could save as much power as possible. Although Apollo 13 didn’t land on the moon NASA managed to bring the three astronauts back to Earth safely.
On Apollo 15 the astronauts took a battery-powered car with them. The lunar rover traveled a distance of over 27 km on the lunar surface.
Although Project Apollo cost the Americans a lot of money it demonstrated the technological power of the USA. One of its aims was also to show the western world’s superiority in the Cold War. The data that the Apollo missions brought back to Earth gave scientists much information on how the moon and the solar system developed.

met


Their Ace has been on the DL since before the All-Star break and their winningest pitcher hasn’t won since June 23. They have used 10 different starting pitchers this season, including four rookies and Jose Lima. They are the Mets and they are your World Series favorites.
Most books have made the Mets the No. 1 choice to win the Series in this, the 20th anniversary year of their last championship. This is due almost entirely to the fact that the Mets appear very likely headed to the World Series in spite of their starting pitching woes.
Because they appear headed to the Fall Classic they are obviously a better bet in July or August than any of the American League teams that are far from guaranteed even a wild card berth in the highly competitive AL. Should the Mets advance, as the odds suggest, it is hard to imagine a scenario in which any of the primary AL contenders, the Red Sox, Yankees, White Sox, Tigers or Twins, wouldn’t be the favorite in a seven game series, especially with the AL once again enjoying the benefit of home-field advantage.
With a 12-game lead over the second-place Braves in the NL East, the Mets are a virtual lock to win their first division title since 1988 and with little to beat in the weak National League, the Mets are prohibitive favorites to win the NL flag at books that are still taking such action. (Bodog has the Mets at 5/4 to win the NL Pennant).
Pinnacle Sportsbook has the Mets at 4.6/1 to win the World Series, slightly better than the 4/1 you can get at Nine Sportsbook or Bodog, but is not taking action on the league championship. Bodog has the Mets as a 4/1 second choice behind the 2/1 Tigers.
Pinnacle has the Tigers at nearly 5.5/ 1 and they can be had at 5/1 at Nine.
We mentioned just weeks after the White Sox won the 2005 series that the Mets were worth a futures play at 33/1 for 2006 because significant moves were likely. Of course those odds dropped dramatically with the signing of Billy Wagner and the trade for Carlos Delgado. While the 33/1 sure does look great now, the Mets appear to have their work cut out for them if they plan to add a third World Championship to their portfolio.
One advantage the Mets do hold over other teams is that they have the luxury of resting Pedro and Glavine to make sure they have something left in the tank come playoff time. With a 12-game lead in the last week of July, manager Willie Randolph is already taking advantage of this, moving to a six-man rotation for the time being. A 12-game lead at the close of July allows you this luxury even if four of the six are untested or haven’t been particularly good.
Ace Pedro was an All-Star game selection with a 7-4 record and 3.45 ERA, but found his way to the DL first. He is due back against the Braves on Tuesday. Tom Glavine, one of the most profitable moneyline pitchers in baseball this season at plus $1,131, is 11-4 on the season but hasn’t won in more than a month. Trachsel too has been profitable thanks to generous run support but he has been an even better bet on the total line as the total has gone over in 15 of his 20 starts, no surprise when you consider his 5.14 ERA. This might get you through the regular season but not game three of the World Series.
Another factor working in the Mets favor is GM Omar Minaya, who has relished in stealing the headlines from the Yankees. It is likely he will make a deadline move to either fortify the starting pitching or bolster the beleaguered bullpen. Barry Zito and Dontrelle Willis have been mentioned in New York as possibilities and, even though there is little chance either moves, don’t count the Mets out.
Minaya knows you don’t get too many chances to win a World Series, and given the opportunity, he will be willing to part with young talent like Lastings Milledge to get one. With either Willis or Zito at the top of the rotation, the Mets become legit series favorites.
Although starting pitching is their achilles heel of late, they still boast the second lowest ERA in all of baseball, thanks to a major league best bullpen that very well could be sucking wind come October due to overuse.
Ironically, the Mets bullpen strength can be seen in their abysmal run line record where they show a record of 44-57 and are minus $1,354 for the season. This can be attributed to their MLB best 22-10 mark in games decided by a single run, games in which a good bullpen is often the difference.
The Mets have rewarded backers on the moneyline this year, as they are currently fourth in MLB at plus $1,028. They are just plus $74 at home but a solid plus $954 on the road.

us postal salary scale


Learn how to save with the right office equipment. As a small business owner your time is spent managing and growing your business. Saving time, money and energy is essential. A small investment in the right type of office equipment can make a big difference.
In running a small business you are bound to send a lot of mail. Checks, invoices, brochures, holiday cards are all things that are mailed on a regular basis. Many companies take these costs for granted without realizing how much money they can save.
Savings
Using a postage meter can help save you both time and money in many ways. Most postage meters come with a scale, either separate or built in, that weighs your mail and then prints exact postage every time. This helps eliminate the risk of “over-stamping” your envelopes and packages. Over time you can save big when mailing regularly. A study conducted for Pitney Bowes by a third party showed that small businesses that use a meter can save up to 20% in postage costs annually.
Productivity
Having a postage meter in your office also frees up more of your time. The postage meter hooks up to a telephone line and you can dial in your request to add funds 24/7. That eliminates the need to go to the Post Office(TM) for stamps as you will be able to weigh your mail and print the postage right at your desk. Enjoy the added bonus of scheduling free picks ups from the USPS for your mail and packages right from your office, usps.com/pickup. Add up your savings by calculating how much employee time you will save by making fewer trips to the Post Office(TM) every week and then multiply this with the applicable hourly salary you pay. See how there is much time and money to be saved. A study of 8.5 million small businesses concluded that small businesses that use a meter are up to 20% more productive than those who don’t.
Cost management
With having a postage meter, you’ll also be managing your costs more efficiently as it will help you monitor exactly how much you spend on your mailings. You can even create different accounts for different departments, giving you a more detailed understanding of each department’s postage spending. If you send a lot of bulk mail you can apply for a bulk mail permit from the USPS®. Use this permit in conjunction with your postage meter to optimize your savings.
Deliverability
Metered mail helps the Post Office(TM) to process your mail which means that many times metered mail gets to its’ destination faster than stamped mail.
Branding
Metered mail helps send the message to the recipient that you run a stable and sturdy business, helping you build your brand while looking more professional.
Pitney Bowes
Pitney Bowes is a market leader in postage meters. They have a dedicated product line developed especially for small businesses. Each product is designed to fit the needs and tight budgets of small businesses in each stage of growth.

how to cut hair in back short


The scissor has 6 different parts that we are going to talk about. They are the tang, the finger grip, the thumb grip, the hand screw, the moving blade and the still blade. The tang is the little piece of metal that extends from the finger grip. This finger grip is for you to rest your pinkie finger on when you are cutting for stability and control. The finger grip connects to the tang and it is the round opening where the ring finger on your dominant hand would go. The finger grip extends along the length of the scissors diagonally to meet the still blade. The thumb grip is the round opening below the finger grip and is the opening where your thumb would go. The thumb grip controls the moving part of the blade. In the center of the scissors you will notice the hand screw. This serves the shears in a couple different ways. For one, it holds the two blades together. It can also be tightened or loosened. When you tighten the hand screw, the scissors become harder to open and close. When you loosen the hand screw, the scissors will open and close easier. This is entirely up to your personal preference.
Clippers are another necessity for cutting boys or men’s hair into a buzz cut or a fade. Most clipper sets come with a matching trimmer for detailing around the hair-line, around the ears and any facial hair. If it doesn’t, you can buy the trimmer individually or you can choose to use your clippers to do the job. I must warn you that without experience using clippers to do detailing; you run a higher risk of cutting hair that you didn’t intend to.
You will also have to invest in a set of clipper guards if your clippers don’t already come with them. As with everything else, clipper guards come in a lot of sizes. You only need four different sizes. They are the blender, 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch. The blender cuts the hair closest to the scalp and the 1/2 inch guard leaves a 1/2 inch of hair on the head. If you want the hair left any longer than that, then you can transition to use your scissors for that section. For example, if you were to do a fade where you wanted the hair at the nape of the neck really short and you wanted the hair on the top of the head left an inch and a half, you would start at the nape of the neck using the blender guard, then as you progress up the back of the head you would switch over to a 1/4 inch guard then 3/8 then 1/2 inch and finally blending the sides and the top with your scissors.
