According to their recent testing  “we can’t recommend the iPhone 4” because of the issues with the reception and the potential dropped calls… sure we know Apple tried to blame a flaw in the algorithm, but seriously why didn’t they just take the MAcGyver approach and fix it with duct tape…. see the video below on how you can fix your iphone 4 with duct tape..

now 1,000,001 ways duct tape saves the day!..

However I’m heading out on a mission trip this week with 27 people from our church and I wanted to allow certain people to post entries without all the baloney of the laptops, internet, etc.. The built-in wordpress plugin limited me to just one user, and I wanted to have multiple users post to the blog since there are a bunch of us going on this trip. I also wanted to insure that not just anyone could post incase somehow the posting email address got spammed.

I came across the Postie Plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/

There are many features this plugin offers.. like the ability to add images to posts as well as video.

But the best feature was the limiting of posting by email addresses.. this would cover the spammers as well as only allowing certain people to post..

The 1st test was successful… and now I’m testing the ability to add images, links and filtering out email footers

I couldn’t have imagined our small group of Dover residents would have evolved into the Freecycle it is today. Since it’s inception the FreeCycle Network has spread to over 85 countries, where there are thousands of local groups representing millions of members and Dover’s group is a part of keeping over 500 tons a day out of landfills! If you haven’t taken the time to read the history jump on over to the main FreeCycle site and have a read.

For you statisticians out there here are a few numbers for you.

Messages to date: 27,563
Average Yearly
2005: 332 (not bad for 7 months)
2006: 645
2007: 689
2008: 683
2009: 556
5 year Avg: 581

These are some awesome numbers! You all ROCK! If you didn’t realize this yet all messages, members and the like are moderated by only 2 volunteers besides myself, a though job for such a large amount of work given we all have jobs, lives and other pastimes. So remember to thank your moderators by emailing them FreecycleDoverNH-owner@yahoogroups.com

So Dover FreeCycle members I challenge you to RAID YOUR GARAGE, BASEMENT, ATTIC, whatever you can find to pass along to others and KEEP STUFF OUT OF LANDFILLS.

Keep Up the Good work and Thank you for using FreecycleDoverNH Freecycle.

will you stand and fight with us?

today the enemy of God is at work in my life. he is coming at me in all directions. The anguish, pain and angst I feel swelling inside me is causing me to doubt, fear and question everything I do. I understand that these fears are from him and his ability to twist the truth in my feeble mind. Though as I struggle through these times I know that my God is stronger than he.. for the power of the Holy Spirit dwells within me, as God promised sinners like me. His full armor will protect me when I stand a fight against the devils schemes! It is not my flesh that hurts but my soul he tries to overtake.. BUT! God’s belt of truth will help me to stand firm and rise up against the enemy. The shield of faith, though heavy to bear will protect me from the from the evil one and I will stand strong and pray in the face of my rulers with the sword of the Spirit as the word of God pours out in prayer. As I too am an ambassador in chains, pray that I may continue to run to prayer first so that I can declare the word of god fearlessly.

from Ephesians 6:10-20

You see each morning when I get up my dogs are right beside me, following me around the house, never leaving my side, under foot. Sometimes it a bit annoying, but for the most part it’s cute… well as cute as a 120 lab taking up the whole doorway when you’re trying to get out…Seriously though, as pet owns our dogs rely on us for everything; food, shelter, protection, everything and in return they love us unconditionally. They don’t ask for much except more food, potty breaks and love/companionship.

When I compare my dog’s commitment to following me verses how I follow God there is NO comparison… I fall WAY short..

No matter how many times my dogs make me angry and I have to discipline/yell at them, within seconds they are back following, wagging their tail wanting to play..willing to submit, follow, love and serve…

It’s so difficult to submit, follow, love and serve as God wants us to do. But yet every time we fall up; God is always there loving, caring and providing for us…

Why is it so hard to just submit, pick up our cross and follow God; wag our tail and love God as he loves us.… Sometime I just wish I could have the faith like my dogs..

the adim interface is very different and added a much better use of space within the layout..
