Our highly paid IT guy (John Voorhis) has the vision video operable, though not in the quality he wants. You can access it now, but he will be upgrading the quality and also will be splitting the file into the 11 different sections for easier viewing (all the while maintaining his real job).

Why St. Louis Lost

I warned Phil. He has no one to blame but himself. Yesterday morning, as the elders began to pray before the 9:00 service, Phil reversed the direction in which we prayed. Never have we prayed counter clockwise; we always pray clockwise. I was stunned! Phil "Mr. St. Louis Cardinal" Ryken changed a routine during the World Series! No pun intended, but this breaks the "cardinal" rule of baseball that one does not change any routine while a team is winning, much less after winning the opening game of the World Series. Of course, it was no surprise who won the second game.
