Review for the song "I Will Follow God's Plan"
Print and cut out the Plan of Salvation pictures. Put a magnet on the back of each picture.
Tell the children they are going to be reviewing the song "I Will Follow God's Plan". Before doing the activity, review the words by showing the children the flip chart pictures from last week. See if they can remember the words that go with each picture.
Sing the song after they have reviewed the words, but explain that as they sing the song, a volunteer is going to try to put the Plan of Salvation pictures on the board in the correct order. Show the children the pictures and read the title of each one (you may need to explain what certain ones mean to the junior primary). Choose a volunteer.
After the children sing the song, check the order of the pictures. If they are not correct, commend the child on their effort, take off all the pictures, mix them up, and have another volunteer try and put them in the correct order while the children sing the song again. Once the pictures are in the correct order, tell the children that you are going to make the activity a little more difficult. Take the pictures off the board, and take one out of the pile. Conceal what picture it is.
As the children sing the song again, have a volunteer put the pictures on the board in the correct order and then tell you what part of the plan is missing. (This last part was inspired by the activity in the Friend this month for the song. Thanks Friend magazine!) If this is too easy for the older children, take out more than one picture each time you do the activity. Continue in this manner until you feel like they have the song (and the plan of salvation) completely memorized. Be sure to review any words they might be having difficulty with each time they sing the song.

German physician and prison-reformer; born at Altona, Germany, Oct. 3, 1783; died at Hamburg Aug. 20, 1862. He received his early education at Hamburg and at the Graue Kloster at Berlin. He studied medicine at Heidelberg and Würzburg (M.D. 1809), and, after conversion to Christianity, settled in Hamburg as a physician. During the wars of 1813 and 1815 against France he served as surgeon to the Hanseatic Legion. In 1825 Julius traveled through England; in 1834 and the two following years, through the United States; and in 1836, through France and Belgium. His writings upon the necessity of improvement in the conditions of prisoners attracted the attention of the Crown Prince of Prussia (later Frederick William IV.) to the author, who was invited to Berlin in 1840. He was attached to the Department of the Interior and retained his position till 1849, when, under the parsimonious régime which curtailed the force employed in all offices, he was dismissed. He then returned to Hamburg, where he continued to reside until his death.
Julius took great interest in the condition of prisoners, and spent much time and money in his propaganda for bettering their lot. He was assisted in this work by his sister Henriette, an authoress.
Julius was the author of: "Bibliotheca Germano-Glottica," Hamburg, 1814; "Mitteilungen über die Morgenländische Brechruhr," ib. 1822-31; "An Essay on the Public Care for the Sick as Produced by Christianity," ib. 1825; "Die Weibliche Fürsorge für Gefangene und Kranke Ihres Geschlechts aus den Schriften der Elizabeth Frey und Anderer," Berlin, 1827; "Vorlesungen über die Gefängnisskunde," ib. 1828 (French transl. by Lagarmitte, Paris, 1831); "Amerika's Besserungs System und Dessen An wendung auf Europa," Berlin, 1836; "Nordamerika's Sittliche Zustände," Leipsic, 1839; "Beiträge zur Britischen Irrenheilkunde," ib. 1844, etc. He translated belletristic literature, as Ticknor's "Geschichte der Schönen Litteratur in Spanien," Leipsic, 1852, etc.
From 1821 to 1835 he published, with Gerson, in Hamburg, the "Magazin der Ausländischen Literatur der Gesammten Heilkunde."
Julius was also editor of the "Jahrbücher der Straf- und Besserungsanstalten," Berlin, 1829-33, and, with Nöllner and Varrontrapp, of the "Jahrbücher der Gefängnisskunde und Besserungsanstalten," Frankfort-on-the-Main and Darmstadt, 1842-49.

Civil War Encyclopedia >> People - Union Military
Edwin Vose Sumner
Son-in-law commanded the artillery in Jackson's Corp (Confederate), becoming Robert E. Lee's secretary.
Son-in-law related by marriage to Joseph E. Johnston
Two sons were general officers in the U. S. ranks
Where did "Bull" Sumner's nickname come from?:
Powerfully built, Sumner got his nickname Bull from a bullet that "...bounced off his head..." during the battle of Cerro Gordo in the Mexican American War (Craig Symonds, Joseph E. Johnston)
After coming east to Carlisle Barracks (Carlisle, Pennsylvania) as an instructor in 1838, Sumner returned west, exploring the western United States, and at times, southern Canada. A report to the War Department in 1845 had Sumner and his dragoons patrolling between Lake Superior and Lake of the Woods (Canadian territory). It was Major Edwin Sumner who led the charge of the Second Regiment of Dragoons during the battle of Cerro Gordo, securing a bridge over the Plan del Rio in the Mexican American War. He was brevetted to Lt. Colonel for this action. At Molino Del Rey he held his ground against a superior force of mounted Mexicans and was brevetted Colonel. He was promoted to Lt. Colonel in 1848.
After serving two years as military Governor of New Mexico, Sumner was sent to Europe to study the organization and training of various armies. Upon his return in March, 1855, Edwin Vose Sumner received orders from Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, promoting him to colonel and placing him in command of the First Cavalry, a newly formed regiment stationed at Fort Leavenworth. Under him was Lt. Colonel Joseph E. Johnston. Albert Sidney Johnston got the Second Cavalry with Robert E. Lee. Bull Sumner fought many frontier battles at the head of the First Cavalry and commanded Fort Leavenworth, but he made grade based on his friendship with Davis.
During "Bleeding Kansas" Sumner broke up the camp of John Brown following the Battle of Black Jack. One of Sumner's aides, Lieutenant J. E. B. Stuart, knew Brown from this incident and identified him during the Raid on Harper's Ferry. Sumner received an order directly from the Commander-in-Chief, President Franklin Pierce telling him to quell unrest in Topeka, Kansas. The unrest was at the hands of the Freesoil convention being convened in that city. On July 4, 1856, Sumner rode at the head of a column of 200 men from the First Cavalry, which took a position in front of the convention hall and unlimbered their artillery. The crowd dispersed.
In the summer of 1857 Sumner and John Sedgwick met west of Ft. Kearny, Nebraska to look for a group of Cheyenne Indians. When scouts reported the Indians in front of his column Sumner detached two cavalry units, one to the left and one to the right, and ordered his infantry to make a frontal assault on the mounted Indians. The flank attacks of the cavalry routed the 300 mounted Cheyenne and drove them off. Lieutenant Stuart was wounded in this action.
In 1858 Edwin Sumner became commander of the Department of the West. Sumner had been ordered to escort President-elect Abraham Lincoln from Springfield, Illinois, to Washington D. C. for his inauguration when David Twiggs surrendered the U. S. forces in Texas. Sumner was promoted to Brigadier General and put in command of Twigg's remaining U. S. forces. When Albert Sidney Johnston resigned his post as commander of the Department of the Pacific because his native Texas had seceded from the Union, James Buchanan tapped Sumner to replace Johnston.
Returning to the east as a division commander at his own request, Abraham Lincoln personally selected Edwin Sumner as commander of the II (2nd) Corps because Army of the Potomac commander George McClellan steadfastly refused to name the men he wanted.
During the Peninsula Campaign, following the Siege of Yorktown McClellan took Sumner's 2nd Corps to move against West Point, Virginia. Sumner, McClellan's second-in-command, took charge of the Third (Heintzelman) and Fourth Corps (Keyes). Only one division of each corps had reached the Confederate line, putting two generals too many in charge of two divisions. During the subsequent Battle of Williamsburg, a rear-guard action by James Longstreet, Sumner nearly lost the battle when Longstreet advanced, but he ordered Winfield Scott Hancock to out-flank the Confederates from a knoll to the right (north) of the fort at the end of the day and put an end to Longstreet's actions.
Perhaps the high point of Sumner's Civil War career came during the Battle of Seven Pines. With Daniel Harvey Hill pushing Erasmus Keyes 4th Corps backwards with a vicious frontal assault, Sumner on his own initiative ordered General John Sedgwick to advance in support of Keyes. Sedgwick crossed the Chickahominy and stumbled onto a massive Confederate attack just then advancing on a Union garrison inside Fair Oaks Station that included Brigadier General Silas Casey. Sedgwick halted the advance and turned back the Confederates, ending any hope of victory. Sumner was brevetted major general for his actions.
During the Battle of Oak Grove, first in a series of battles called the Seven Days Retreat, Sumner advanced down Nine Mile Road, taking Old Tavern on a high knoll east of Richmond, the objective of the battle although his troops were only lightly engaged. He was assigned rear guard duty after the Union loss at Gaines Mill, engaging the Rebels at Orchard Station and Savage Station. Although he was almost completely surrounded, Sumner refused to withdraw from Savage Station until ordered to do so by George McClellan. Sumner was defending a Union Army field hospital with more than 2,500 wounded and sick soldiers.
At Antietam the 2nd Corps was heavily involved in the fighting near Dunker Church and Bloody Lane. Sumner personally led a column of John Segdwick's division into the fighting near the church. During this engagement, reserves ordered to support John Bell Hood and Jubal Early struck Segdwick's unprotected left flank, driving the entire corps back in disarray. Sumner was heavily critized for this failure at Antietam and for his personal involvement in the battle. At Fredericksburg he was in command of Ambrose Burnsides Right Grand Division consisting of the 2nd and 9th Corps. Burnside, aware of the criticism hurled at Sumner for leading his men at Antietam, ordered Sumner to stay across the Rappahanock River from the Battle of Fredericksburg. His men were responsible for the attack from the city against the Sunken Road.
In the original battle plan, William B. Franklin was to push Stonewall Jackson's Corps back, leaving both flanks of the Sunken Road open. In reality, the left flank of the Rebel line was protected by a swamp and Jackson's Corps was never driven from the field. Sumner's men had to cross an open field to two bridges over a canal, then assault an entrenched line. From noon until dusk his men, as well as some of Joseph Hooker's Central Grand Division assaulted the Sunken Road.
Charges and countercharges followed the federal disaster at Fredericksburg and Sumner requested he be reassigned. He was relieved of duty and returned home to Syracuse, New York. While on leave he received new orders putting him in charge of the Department of Missouri but died in his sleep before he left Syracuse to assume command.

Over the past year, we have seen an explosion of premium compact utilities entering the market, from the Mercedes GLK to the Infiniti EX and Volvo XC60. These join the established BMW X3 and Acura RDX in a class of vehicles to which more and more Canadians are becoming attracted. Compact, luxury crossovers are appealing because they offer entry into the luxury market for less. Not to be left out, Audi also has something to offer, the Q5 compact crossover. The Q5 is for buyers who couldn't see themselves driving an Audi station wagon or the larger Q7. This new vehicle can provide the utility they want, the performance they need at a price they can handle. The starting price is $43,500.
The Skin
The Q5 is based on the all-new A4 sedan that came out last year. The biggest change to that vehicle was the longer wheelbase, which provided much needed back seat room. This Q5 has the same wheelbase but it is wider than the sedan to provide proper dimensions in crossover form. The signature Audi front design has been carried into this new product with more finesse than the A4, I especially like the sharper angles on the lights, plus the rear lights have more bling, making the Q5 stand out. The power tailgate is optional on the base model and standard on the premium version, which costs roughly $5000 more. The problem when the tailgate is that it doesn't flip up far enough for tall people and hitting your head could happen. The cargo space is well finished and a useful size, plus there is a hidden area underneath.
The Cockpit
Inside is identical to the A4 except the size of the optional, and massive, panoramic sunroof. Leather heated seats are standard and if the premium model is ordered, the back seats are heated too. Speaking of seats, the longer wheelbase borrowed from the A4 provides back seats with good legroom, I even had my two boys back there in booster seats and they had plenty of room. Some optional equipment on my test Q5 includes push button start, sat radio, navigation and better stereo. One problem; the Multi Media Interface (MMI) controller is on the dash, by the radio, and not placed on the centre console between the seats unless the navigation system is ordered. Why they don't just place it on all models, in the centre, where it was designed to go I don't know.
The Ride
The only engine offered is a powerful and smooth V6. It's a 3.2L unit with 270hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, utilizing direct injection to provide instant acceleration plus it makes this powerful engine more efficient. Quattro all wheel drive is standard, as is a 6-speed Tiptronic transmission. One option that I highly recommend is called 'Drive Select" and just like the name suggests it adapts the drive of the car to suite the driver's tastes. What this system does is adjust the sensitivity of the steering, the responsiveness of the throttle, the mapping of the transmission and the firmness of the suspension. There are several modes, or settings, including normal, comfort, dynamic and individual. This new system has transformed my opinion of Audi products. In the past, my number one complaint about Audi products was the overly boosted and rather numb steering. Now that has been fixed and the Q5 rivals the BMW X3 for handling.
The Good, The Bad
The Q5 is a perfect alternative for buyers who might have been attracted to an A4 sedan but want more room. With slightly more interior space than its main rivals, the Q5 is a good fit for more Canadian families.
One thing that I'm not crazy about are the basic 18-inch wheels, they just look wimpy but there are other designs including 19 and 20-inch wheels on the S-line.
Zack's verdict
The base model Q5 is a great choice for anyone that wants a comfortable, luxury, family vehicle for a very reasonable price; it even competes nicely with the very popular Mercedes GLK. It is when optional equipment is added that the price goes up very quickly. The premium package (to get the lift gate), plus Drive Select, navigation and larger wheels can push the price to over $55,000. A similarly equipped Mercedes GLK is roughly $5,000 less. However, the Q5 drives very differently than the GLK, it competes more with the BMW X3 for handling and might just be the most dynamic vehicle in the class to drive. With "Drive Select" this Q5 is very quick off the line, handling is first rate and the numb steering has been solved.

No doubt you've heard of the millions of dollars raised for charity over the years by the food products company started by the late Paul Newman. Salad dressing, popcorn, lemonade and many other products featuring the actor's image have raised huge donations for Newman's favorite charities. Now another actor, to use the term somewhat loosely, is looking to follow the same business model.
A recent shopping trip in Adrian resulted in me returning to Ohio with a box of "Larry the Cable Guy's Corn Muffins." It's true, you might be a redneck if you buy muffins endorsed by a comedian.
And the muffins were one of 15 Larry the Cable Guy food products listed on the box. Others include triple cheese cheeseburger dinner, white cheddar mac and cheese with bacon, and two that I could believe Larry himself eats: beer bread and beer batter for fish.
On the box was the statement that "Each purchase supports Larry the Cable Guy's Git-R-Done Foundation." Don't tell me, let me guess: the proceeds will go toward buying him sleeves for his flannel shirts?
Larry's photo appears on the box four times, once with the advice that we can "make the muffins even better by adding shredded cheddar cheese." I gave the muffin mix to a friend who offered to make and share them with me. Next time, I hope she won't be generous enough to share.
Even with the cheese, Larry's muffins were barely edible. Way too dry to eat by themselves, they were improved by breaking them into pieces and hiding them at the bottom of a bowl of chili or soup.
Even then, the last few muffins were moldy before I could use them all. Let this serve as a warning to Larry's pals Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Ron White—I think I know what the Cable Guy will be giving you for Christmas. Now that I think about it, Jeff Foxworthy used to sell his own line of beef jerky. I hate to see what Engvall and White will come up with.
In other odd news, BioPet Vet Labs, a company in Knoxville, has developed a product sure to scare those people who don't pick up after their dogs. The company's new product, called Pooprints, uses DNA technology not unlike that utilized by real-life crime labs to identify the source of unscooped doggie doo-doo.
The idea is that management of condos, homeowner associations, or maybe even small towns could collect DNA samples from the mouths of registered dogs. If someone fails to pick up after their pet, a sample of the "violation" can be used to identify the dog responsible.
Then the local poop police can deal with the owner of the guilty canine. When I think about the cost of all this, I suspect anyone owning a dog would seriously think of finding it a new home if they lived in an area considering the product. But would anyone really buy it? Why not just let the dogs poop in peace?
Next, it's on to dating website What'sYourPrice.com, which has recently added Nadya Suleman, better known as the Octomom, to its list of clients willing to date winning bidders. Nadya's minimum bid for a date is $500.
I can't help thinking what would happen if the winning bidder ended up being someone who was somehow unaware of her claim to fame. Can't you imagine the first date? They're at a nice restaurant, just chatting, when her date asks her to tell him a little about herself.
What happens when she mentions she's a single mom? Nothing much at first, probably, until she adds, "of 14—and I had eight of them at one time!" Maybe that's something she should get out of the way before they meet.
Finally, there's the story of the governor whose ignorance nearly cost him his life. Vermont governor Peter Shumlin was chased and nearly caught by four bears. Despite warnings from wildlife experts not to leave bird feeders out in areas inhabited by bears, Shumlin had several in his back yard.
In an even dumber move, he ran outside to try to save the feeders when he saw the two adult bears and two cubs in the yard. He said one of the adult bruins charged him on the back porch.
Shumlin told a newspaper that Vermont "almost lost the governor." A man that reckless probably should be taking precautions. May I suggest he get a DNA swab done and filed away for future use? If Shumlin keeps taunting bears, his survivors may need it.

Preparedness and response
Despite best efforts, industrial accidents do sometimes occur. It is therefore very important that countries are fully prepared in order to reduce the impact of an industrial accident on communities and the environment.
In order to prepare for industrial accidents, countries should have identified hazardous facilities where an accident could occur as part of the prevention obligations of the Convention. All relevant authorities at the local, regional and national level should be fully prepared and have the proper equipment and training in place to deal with any accident scenario.
Annex VII of the Convention specifies emergency preparedness measures pursuant to article 8, which requires the development of transboundary emergency plans. National emergency plans should be compatible with those of neighbouring countries, so that they are able to respond to transboundary impacts. Article 9 further determines that the public should have an opportunity to participate in the preparation of prevention and preparedness measures, as well as have access to judicial proceedings to appeal a relevant decision.
Responding promptly to an industrial accident is crucial in reducing its effects on communities and the environment. Emergency services personnel need to be mobilized and coordinated across local, regional and national authorities. In addition, procedures should be in place to inform the public in the event of an industrial accident or a threat thereof.
If an industrial accident has possible transboundary effects, Parties are required to inform neighbouring countries of the risks and share all available information necessary for an effective response. The Industrial Accident Notification (IAN) System has been created to facilitate the timely notification of countries that may be affected by an industrial accident.
The Convention encourages Parties to assist each other and cooperate in their response to industrial accidents, as well as in research and development and the sharing of information and technology. The Convention aims to provide a platform for cooperation within and between countries and the exchange of experience and good practices.
The Convention secretariat also organizes regular trainings for both preparedness and response to an industrial accident as part of its Assistance Programme. The Assistance Programme aims to utilize the expertise of other countries to ensure best practice in preventing, preparing for and responding to an industrial accident and to ensure that countries are able to fully implement the Convention.

Zazengi: How to Sit in Zazen – by Eihei Dogen zenji, translated by Yasuda Joshu roshi
and Anzan Hoshin roshi
(excerpted from the book Dogen: Zen Writings on the Practice of Realization)
Studying Zen means practicing zazen. A quiet room is good for zazen.
Spread out a thick mat. Do not let drafts or vapours enter. Do not let rain and dew leak in. Take care of the space you are in. There are traces of those who have sat on the Diamond Seat and those who sat on slabs of stone, but all of them used a mat of wild grasses.
The place for zazen should be bright, not dark, both day and night. It should be warm in winter and cool in summer. Shed all entanglements and stop doing this and that, the ten thousand things. Don't think of good. Don't think of bad. It is not a matter of mind, intention, or consciousness; it is not a matter of thoughts, ideas, or perceptions. Zazen is not self-consciousness or self-contemplation.
Don't sit to become a Buddha. Release ideas of sitting and lying down. Eat and drink moderately. Do not waste time but practise zazen as if your hair were on fire. Study the example of the Fifth Ancestor on Huangmei shan, who did nothing other than simply practice zazen.
When you practice zazen wear the kesa and use a round cushion. The cushion does not go under the thighs; it goes under the buttocks. Place the front edge of the cushion under your buttocks so that when you cross your legs they rest on the mat. This is the way that the Buddhas and Awakened Ancestors have all sat in zazen. Sit in either the full or half lotus posture. In the full lotus, the right foot is placed on the left thigh and the left foot on the right thigh. The toes of each foot should be aligned with the thighs, not extending past or slid down. In the half lotus just put the left foot on the right thigh.
Loosen your robe and belt and keep them neat. Place the right hand on the left foot, the left hand over the right hand. Then put your right hand palm up on your left foot and put your left hand in the palm of your right, the tips of the thumbs touching lightly. The top of the thumbs should be level with the navel. Sit up straight, leaning neither to right nor left, forward or back. Your ears should be aligned with your shoulders, and from the front, your nose in a direct line with your navel. Place your tongue against the roof of your mouth keeping mouth and lips closed. Your eyes should be open and you should breathe gently through your nose. Having aligned body and mind, exhale deeply. Sitting in balance and stillness like a mountain, think of "not-thinking." How? Be "Before Thinking."
This is the essence of zazen. Zazen is not meditation. It is the Dharma Gate of great ease and joy. It is stainless realized-practice.
Presented to the monks at Kippo-ji, in the Yoshida District of Esshu, November 11th, 1243.

Just wondering, because I've just set my phone up to forward wifi traffic through my DD-WRT router. But I've no way to verify if my 3G traffic is also going through my router.
Does anyone know if 3G traffic also goes through the vpn by default (if vpn is properly configured on the phone of course).

This series reminds me of those wonderful old-school advertisements that seemed to promise a tomorrow filled with sexy gadgets, games and gizmos. Ironic, how we have become slaves to those devices. It's great to go back and look at them with such optimism and wonder.
Well done!
"What would you do if you could travel back in time? Assassinate Marilyn Monroe? Go on a date with Hitler? Obviously. But here's what I'd do after that: grab all the modern technology I could find, take it to the late 70's, superficially redesign it all to blend in, start a consumer electronics company to unleash it upon the world, then sit back as I rake in billions, trillions, or even millions of dollars."
"I've explored that idea in this series by re-imagining four common products from 2010 as if they were designed in 1977: an mp3 player, a laptop, a mobile phone and a handheld video game system. I then created a series of fictitious but stylistically accurate print ads to market them, as well as a handful of abstract posters (you know, just for funsies)."

Do you like to colour? Who doesn't? Well, if you love low riders, then brother have I got something for you. Check it out.
The geniuses down at Dokument Press are paying tribute to this amazing example of American Automotive Expression. Pure art on wheels.
Making this a colouring book is such a great idea. Gotta pick one up.
"Impalas, Cadillacs and Rivieras. In the Lowrider Coloring Book, you will color the classic and most popular Lowrider models. Lowrider culture reaches back to 1930s Los Angeles, where it became popular for style-conscious Latino-Americans to load their cars with sandbags to bring it closer to the road. Style was everything, and when lowered cars were banned in California in the 1950s, it became necessary to find a way to raise and lower the car simply to avoid fines. The solution was to use hydraulics from old fighter planes left over from World War II. The rapper Kid Frost showcased lowriding in the early 90s hit Lowrider, and since then, the cars are closely associated with hip hop culture. Today, lowriding is bigger than ever with thousands of enthusiasts in most parts of the world. All strive to outdo each other with the most elegant varnish, interior, hydraulics, chrome and rims. The custom cars you'll be coloring in the Lowrider Coloring book were converted by some of the best and most legendary enthusiasts."

That women are less prepared for a secure retirement than men is well-reported. A survey released Thursday by ING Retirement Research Institute digs into various women's segments to see how pervasive the problem is.
Men have nearly $150,000 saved on average, compared with women who have just $108,000, according to the report, "What About Women (and Retirement)?" Similar percentages of men and women contribute to their employer-sponsored retirement account (73% of women compared to 77% of men), but 55% of women are contributing to another account as well, compared with 61% of men.
Both genders report barriers to saving like not enough income or too much debt, but women are more likely to say they don't save because they don't know what their options are. Single women are especially likely to say this, while divorced or widowed women are more likely to claim low income or high debt as their primary barrier to saving.
Just 36% of women have ever calculated how much they'll need in retirement, compared with 49% of men, and while only a third of men have a formal plan to reach their retirement goals, even fewer women have one (25%).
Looking at different segments of women investors, mothers have even less saved than women overall, with just $88,000. Over half of mothers have less than $25,000 saved in their retirement plans and less than two-thirds are taking full advantage of their employer's company match. By comparison, 76% of fathers take their company's full match.
Almost 70% of single women rely on their own research or input from their family and friends for financial guidance. Married women are only slightly less likely to do so (63%), but they are more likely to work with a financial professional (31%) than single women (21%). While half of men have calculated how much they'll need for retirement, just 28% of single women have.
"There isn't much difference between segments of women, but compared with men, women have less saved and are less engaged than men," Delia deLisser, director of women's marketing for ING, told AdvisorOne.
The goal of the report, deLisser (left) says, is to give advisors information they can share with their clients that will make them aware of the challenges they face. "Women have greater needs," deLisser says, "and need to be engaged and proactive."
One way advisors can do this is by outlining challenges their female clients face and increase the sense of urgency they feel in saving for retirement, deLisser says.
"Women think of wealth in terms of provided a secure future for themselves," she says. "Advisors should listen and focus on what's most important to the client." If they meet with their female clients and their husbands together, advisors should make sure her questions are answered.
"Mothers are more challenged for savings and time pressure," deLisser says. It may be helpful for advisors who work with women who have children at home to compare their savings to that of other women. "Advisors need to trigger them to get engaged," she says.
The second most told story after the boomer story, deLisser says, is that of younger investors, regardless of gender, and the danger their retirement is in. "Gen Y women and men have more debt and a tougher job market," deLisser says. "It's harder for them to save, and the reality is they'll likely have fewer safety nets. Social Security benefits will potentially be lower and health care costs will be higher. They have longer to save and the sooner, the better."
DeLisser encourages advisors who work with young clients, especially young women, to view their first job as an opportunity to start contributing to their retirement. "They have the benefit of time," she says, "so they should make saving a habit." Young investors need to build their retirement contributions into their budget so it doesn't feel like lost income. They should also increase their contribution every time they get a raise. "That way, they can adapt as their income grows."

WOW! This has the potential to be very explosive.
- Byrne is now saying that in 2015 and 2016 the FBI operation was part of a network of political surveillance being conducted by the FBI on different presidential candidates.
- Byrne names FBI Agent Peter Strzok as the person giving the instructions.
- Byrne names: Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump as the four candidates under FBI surveillance, and/or inside an operation consisting of political espionage.
- Byrne claims he was offered a $1 billion bribe to keep quiet.
- Byrne also states that there are additional witnesses.
- Byrne states he went to the DOJ in April 2019 (3rd – 10th), after Bill Barr became the Attorney General because he was informed that the new AG was trustworthy and going to support.
- Byrne told the DOJ everything that was happening.
- Byrne sees the deep divisions currently in our country as partly driven by this FBI operation which was political espionage.
- Byrne feels an obligation to share the truth in an effort to help the nation understand what was happening.
Here is a thread on Overstock's CEO Robert Byrne and his interview with Martha McCallum. We have to pray for Robert because they will do anything to shut him up.
They can stick their recession right up their asses. The Economic Train is having fun with all of them. The Economy is humming and there is nothing they can do or say that will change it.
From the article linked above:
The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week, suggesting the labor market was holding firm despite a manufacturing slowdown and concerns the economy is on a path toward recession.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 209,000 for the week ended Aug. 17, the Labor Department said on Thursday.
The decline was sharper than expected. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims would drop to 216,000 in the latest week.
Larry Kudlow joined Fox Business yesterday afternoon to discuss the current state of the economy. He was also questioned about the media reports surrounding discussions of new tax cuts, tax rate modifications and tax policy.
He also discussed the latest position on the U.S-China trade discussion.
The Federal Reserve is doing everything in their power to mess with our Economy. It won't work and will destroy the world economy even more.
From the article linked above:
Federal Reserve officials may not tweet their views of monetary policy but on Thursday they were happy to take to television interviews to challenge President Donald Trump's view about the need for lower rates.
The heads of the Kansas City and Philadelphia Federal Reserve banks both said in interviews with CNBC that they thought the July rate cut was unnecessary and further cuts uncalled for. The bond market momentarily seemed to revolt, inverting the yield curve for the third time in eight days.
Another BS narrative blows up in their face!
From the article linked above:
- Walmart is facing calls to stop selling guns in the wake of deadly shootings at its stores.
- I went to a Walmart store in Virginia with the intention of buying a gun as part of an investigation into the placement, selection, marketing, security, and sales of firearms in Walmart's stores.
- My journey to bring a gun home from Walmart was more complicated than I expected, and I was left with the impression that the company takes gun security and sales seriously.
- Walmart does not make it easy to figure out which stores sell guns.
- The firearms at Walmart were locked inside a case and secured to one another with zip ties attached to a metal cord.
- Only certain employees can open the case and handle the firearms. These include sporting-goods associates or salaried managers who have passed both an enhanced background check and online training provided by Walmart, the company told me. The store employees abided by these rules while I was there.
- When I asked to purchase a gun, the Walmart employee who was authorized to sell guns called for backup to make sure the process was completed correctly.
- Walmart refused to sell me a gun when an authorized seller wasn't present and when the address on my license didn't match my home address, even though those issues could mean a lost sale.
- There were no advertising materials or promotions in the store to lure people to buy guns.
Excellent article that explains the 17 different fixes that are cutting illegal crossings.
From the article linked above:
The Trump administration's change, announced Wednesday, to end "catch-and-release" immigration is the 17th initiative announced this year alone — moves that are leading to a decrease in illegal crossings.
Below are the immigration efforts unveiled this year by the administration, pulled from a new fact sheet:
- Flores change to stop catch-and-release by holding immigrant families in federal facilities while their case is processed instead of releasing them after 20 days and hoping they return to immigration courts.
- Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), a deal in which migrants seeking admission to the U.S. from Mexico may be required to wait in Mexico. Since it was signed in May, Southwest border arrests have decreased 43%.
- Border Wall. 52 miles new wall built in heavily trafficked areas along the Southern border with 334 miles of border wall promised to be built by the end of 2020.
- 5,000 troops have been sent to the border.
- The Pentagon has redirected $2.5 billion from the military construction budget to help build 100 miles of the wall along the Southern border.
- The U.S. and Guatemala agreed to enter an Asylum Cooperative Agreement to allow asylum seekers to be transported to Guatemala to seek asylum there first.
- $4.6 billion in emergency aid sought by the administration was approved. The administration said it provided "minimal funding for the humanitarian mission at the border, providing supplies for the hundreds of thousands of aliens coming into the country each month."
- The "asylum rule" made migrants ineligible for asylum if they passed through another country on their way to the U.S. without claiming asylum there. Only 10 to 15 percent are ever granted asylum.
- The public charge rule requires immigrants to "be self-sufficient and able to support themselves without specified government welfare benefits."
- Drug enforcement was expanded. In June, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol seized a vessel that contained 33 thousand pounds of cocaine, one of the largest cocaine drug seizures in history.
- The administration moved to challenge activist judicial decisions.
- Law enforcement has been beefed up, especially at ICE where enforcement and removal operations have been expanded.
- More Border Patrol agents have been assigned to the border.
- More asylum officers, 500 more by the end of the year, have been created.
- Sponsors of migrants are now facing enforcement of their legal responsibilities.
- Justice issued a rule "more clearly defining the category of 'social groups' as a claim for credible fear in asylum cases."
- The minimum investment required in the EB-5 Visa Immigrant Investor Program was increased.

I am about to get married and one of the questions that we as a couple had to discuss beforehand was the issue of a Christian view of contraception. We are not the youngest couple (we are both in our 30's) and we are not considering waiting long before we try to have a family, but we consider it wise and necessary initially to get ourselves accustomed to one another in the new situation as a married couple before planning to have a family. However, we are both consciously seeking for ways that would please our Lord and thus we consider many contemporary methods as not being in harmony with the will of God (e.g. IUD).
The natural "rhythm method" does appeal to us despite its reputation for unreliability. However, given that the time frame overlaps with the prohibition in Lev 18:19 we are not so sure about this. Can you help us understand in what ways Lev. 18:19 does or does not apply to us. In short, we are prayerfully considering this issue, but would like to have some guidance on the matter.
The Bible does not, as far as I can tell, give us any proscription or prohibition with reference to contraception. Of course, so called "day after" pills are not really contraception as much as they are abortion. In that situation, such methods (and you are correct: the IUD would fall into this category), would be forbidden and be considered the taking of life, a violation of the Sixth Commandment.
But other more conventional methods, such as the rhythm method, diaphragm, condoms, etc., are not forbidden in the Scripture. In this area I do believe that the Christian has liberty. (Caution: "the pill"an example of hormonal contraceptionapparently can cause abortions, since it can prevent a fertilized egg from implantation. For that reason, it would be good for the Christian to avoid that method of "birth control" as well.)
You comment, "The natural 'rhythm method' does appeal to us despite its reputation for unreliability." Yes, the "rhythm method" does have that reputation. I've heard it thus referred to sometimes as "Vatican roulette" (since it is the only method of birth control permitted in the Roman Catholic Church), but that phrase includes two myths: (1) that it is a method only used by Roman Catholics and not by Reformed Protestants, and (2) that (even when used properly) it is not a reliable method of birth control.
J. Norval Geldenhuys, perhaps best known for his commentary on Luke (Eerdmans, 1951) in the New International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT) series, was a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa. He also published a book entitled The Intimate Life (James Clarke, 1952), which devotes a lengthy chapter to "Birth Control." Most of that chapter is an explanation of "periodic abstinence" (the term he uses for the "rhythm method) and his reasons for preferring that method to others.
Is it a reliable method? Geldenhuys claims that "It is as reliable as a physiological law can be" (page 74). What about cases where pregnancy occurs in spite of its use? Here Geldenhuys quotes Dr. Leo Latz, "Theoretically the application appears so very simple that people will not take the trouble to follow directions accurately, and the success of the method depends upon the accurate application of all rules hitherto mentioned" (page 75). Thus the problem is not the method, but "faulty application."
The Intimate Life was published over a half-century ago, and some parts of it are now somewhat out-of-date. But the "rhythm method" (or the method of "periodic abstinence") is today more reliable than ever before (again, if time and effort are taken to apply the principles accurately and consistently in practice). So don't automatically rule it out just because of its (largely undeserved) "reputation for unreliability."
Now, with reference to Lev. 18:19, I do not think that that passage necessarily applies to the Christian under the New Covenant. This would be considered a ceremonial law, not a moral law. So, for instance, within Leviticus you find a number of ceremonial laws that we would not keep today, such as the prohibition against eating pork.
Now, I'm not suggesting that you auomatically go ahead with the rhythm method, as it poses its own disadvantages as well (such as the need for careful application, as I have already mentioned). But all I am saying is that I do not believe the passage you cite would apply (or prohibit you from using the rhythm method) in this situation.
It seems that the standard non-abortive methods that are out there are safe, dependable, and perfectly moral, provided that they are used with proper intentions. And this brings us to an important matter: Scripture regards children as "a heritage from the Lord" and "a reward from him" (Psalm 127:3 NIV). See also the following.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sones born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them" (Ps. 127:4-5 NIV).
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine witrhin your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table. Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD..." (Ps. 128:3-4 NIV).
The same Norval Geldenhuys who many years ago endorsed the use of birth control for Christians in certain situations also gave some warnings against its use in other situations:
"Is birth control permissible? If by birth control is meant that married couples should use their common sense in spacing childrenthat they should strive not to beget children when their physical, financial and other circumstances do not warrent itwe wholeheartedly agree that it is permissible.... When, however, birth control is practiced for selfish reasons and with false motives [such as "loss of wealth, luxury and ease"], it is to be strongly opposed" (page 48).
Here's how Geldenhuys concludes his chapter on birth control:
"In conclusion, we wish to stress the fact once more, that birth control may be applied only in those cases where couples are truly convinced that circumstances demand such a course.... Children are the happiest gifts of the Creator. And the parents who wisely rear a good-sized family are the blessed of the earth" (page 87)
May the LORD be with you as you seek his will. May Hein accordance with His willbe pleased to bless you with children at the proper time, and may theyin accordance with His grace grow up to love, obey, and glorify Him, following the evident desires of their father and mother.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

What is 'the standard model of cosmology' and how does it relate to the CMB?
What is Planck and what is it studying?
Planck is a European Space Agency space-based observatory observing the Universe at wavelengths between 0.3 mm and 11.1 mm (corresponding to frequencies between 27 GHz and 1 THz), broadly covering the far-infrared, microwave, and high frequency radio domains. The mission's main goal is to study the cosmic microwave background – the relic radiation left over from the Big Bang – across the whole sky at greater sensitivity and resolution than ever before. Planck is therefore like a time machine, giving astronomers insight into the evolution since the birth of our Universe, nearly 14 billion years ago.
What is the cosmic microwave background?
The cosmic microwave background (or CMB) fills the entire Universe and is leftover radiation from the Big Bang. When the Universe was born, nearly 14 billion years ago, it was filled with hot plasma of particles (mostly protons, neutrons, and electrons) and photons (light). In particular, for roughly the first 380,000 years, the photons were constantly interacting with free electrons, meaning that they could not travel long distances. That means that the early Universe was opaque, like being in fog.
However, the Universe was expanding and as it expanded, it cooled, as the fixed amount of energy within it was able to spread out over larger volumes. After about 380,000 years, it had cooled to around 3000 Kelvin (approximately 2700ºC) and at this point, electrons were able to combine with protons to form hydrogen atoms, and the temperature was too low to separate them again. In the absence of free electrons, the photons were able to move unhindered through the Universe: it became transparent.
Over the intervening billions of years, the Universe has expanded and cooled greatly. Due to the expansion of space, the wavelengths of the photons have grown (they have been 'redshifted') to roughly 1 millimetre and thus their effective temperature has decreased to just 2.7 Kelvin, or around -270ºC, just above absolute zero. These photons fill the Universe today (there are roughly 400 in every cubic centimetre of space) and create a background glow that can be detected by far-infrared and radio telescopes.
Why is it so important to study the cosmic microwave background?
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the furthest back in time we can explore using light. It formed about 380,000 years after the Big Bang and imprinted on it are traces of the seeds from which the stars and galaxies we can see today eventually formed. Hidden in the pattern of the radiation is a complex story that helps scientists to understand the history of the Universe both before and after the CMB was released.
When was the cosmic microwave background first detected?
The existence of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) was postulated on theoretical grounds in the late 1940s by George Gamow, Ralph Alpher, and Robert Herman, who were studying the consequences of the nucleosynthesis of light elements, such as hydrogen, helium and lithium, at very early times in the Universe. They realised that, in order to synthesise the nuclei of these elements, the early Universe needed to be extremely hot and that the leftover radiation from this 'hot Big Bang' would permeate the Universe and be detectable even today as the CMB. Due to the expansion of the Universe, the temperature of this radiation has become lower and lower – they estimated at most 5 degrees above absolute zero (5 K), which corresponds to microwave wavelengths. It wasn't until 1964 that it was first detected – accidentally – by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, using a large radio antenna in New Jersey, a discovery for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1978.
How many space missions have studied the cosmic microwave background?
The first space mission specifically designed to study the cosmic microwave background (CMB) was the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), launched by NASA in 1989. Among its key discoveries were that averaged across the whole sky, the CMB shows a spectrum that conforms extremely precisely to a so-called 'black body' (i.e. pure thermal radiation) at a temperature of 2.73 Kelvin, but that it also shows very small temperature fluctuations on the order of 1 part in 100,000 across the sky. These findings were rewarded with the award of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics to John Mather and George Smoot.
NASA's second generation space mission, the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) was launched in 2001 to study these very small fluctuations in much more detail. The fluctuations were imprinted on the CMB at the moment where the photons and matter decoupled 380,000 years after the Big Bang, and reflect slightly higher and lower densities in the primordial Universe. These fluctuations were originated at an earlier epoch – immediately after the Big Bang – and would later grow, under the effect of gravity, giving rise to the large-scale structure (i.e. clusters and superclusters of galaxies) that we see around us today. WMAP's results have helped determine the proportions of the fundamental constituents of the Universe and to establish the standard model of cosmology prevalent today, and its scientists, headed by Charles Bennett, have garnered many prizes in physics in the intervening years.
Finally, ESA's Planck was launched in 2009 to study the CMB in even greater detail than ever before. It covers a wider frequency range in more bands and at higher sensitivity than WMAP, making it possible to make a much more accurate separation of all of the components of the submillimetre and microwave wavelength sky, including many foreground sources such as the emission from our own Milky Way Galaxy. This thorough picture thus reveals the CMB and its tiny fluctuations in much greater detail and precision than previously achieved. The aim of Planck is to use this greater sensitivity to prove the standard model of cosmology beyond doubt or, more enticingly, to search for deviations from the model which might reflect new physics beyond it.
What does the cosmic microwave background look like?
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is detected in all directions of the sky and appears to microwave telescopes as an almost uniform background. Planck's predecessors (NASA's COBE and WMAP missions) measured the temperature of the CMB to be 2.726 Kelvin (approximately -270 degrees Celsius) almost everywhere on the sky. The 'almost' is the most important factor here, because tiny fluctuations in the temperature, by just a fraction of a degree, represent differences in densities of structure, on both small and large scales, that were present right after the Universe formed. They can be imagined as seeds for where galaxies would eventually grow. Planck's instrument detectors are so sensitive that temperature variations of a few millionths of a degree are distinguishable, providing greater insight to the nature of the density fluctuations present soon after the birth of the Universe.
What is 'the standard model of cosmology' and how does it relate to the CMB?
The standard model of cosmology rests on the assumption that, on very large scales, the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic, meaning that its properties are very similar at every point and that there are no preferential directions in space. In this model, the Universe was born nearly 14 billion years ago: at this time, its density and temperature were extremely high – a state referred to as 'hot Big Bang'. The Universe has been expanding ever since, as demonstrated by observations performed since the late 1920s. The rich variety of structure that we can observe on relatively small scales is the result of minuscule, random fluctuations that were embedded during cosmic inflation – an early period of accelerated expansion that took place immediately after the hot Big Bang – and that would later grow under the effect of gravity into galaxies and galaxy clusters.
The standard model of cosmology was derived from a number of different astronomical observations based on entirely different physical processes. To reconcile the data with theory, however, cosmologists have added two additional components that lack experimental confirmation: dark matter, an invisible matter component whose web-like distribution on large scales constitutes the scaffold where galaxies and other cosmic structure formed; and dark energy, a mysterious component that permeates the Universe and is driving its currently accelerated expansion. The standard model of cosmology can be described by a relatively small number of parameters, including: the density of ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy, the speed of cosmic expansion at the present epoch (also known as the Hubble constant), the geometry of the Universe, and the relative amount of the primordial fluctuations embedded during inflation on different scales and their amplitude.
Different values of these parameters produce a different distribution of structures in the Universe, and a different corresponding pattern of fluctuations in the CMB. By looking at the CMB, Planck can help astronomers extract the parameters that describe the state of the Universe soon after it formed and how it evolved over billions of years.

A pressure transducer is fitted in a heating and cooling or ventilation system. A pressure transducer measures the pressure in a specific location in a system and converts it into a signal which can be read by an instrument, e.g. resistance, inductance or capacitance.
The use of the signal
Sometimes the signal is used directly, for measuring and adjusting. Alternatively, the transducer may be connected to a transmitter, which converts the signal to a variable voltage or current signal, 0–10 V or 4–20 mA respectively. These signal ranges are used with a wide variety of building management system regulators.
Pressure measurement is used as part of system monitoring, or to control pumps/fans in order to achieve a required pressure at any given time.
Different types
There are various types of pressure transducers available:
1. A capacitive-type transducer acts like a capacitor where one plate of the capacitor is a pressure-sensitive membrane: Because the distance between the capacitor plates is variable, so is its capacity.
2. A strain gauge transducer is arranged as a long length of conductor arranged in a zigzag pattern. When it is compressed or stretched its cross-sectional area changes and thus its resistance changes.
3. A piezoelectric pressure sensor converts pressure into an electric signal when compressed.

For The Ghosts Within
What A Wonderful World
I first met Robert and Alfie in 2007 at Lyth Arts Centre in North East Scotland, which is run by Alfie's old college friend William Wilson. They were there on holiday and I was on tour with my band Tango Siempre. We spent a lovely couple of days with them enjoying William's hospitality, exchanging stories about our mutual friend Gilad and, as I recall, attempting to sing "Giant Steps" through mouthfuls of lemon drizzle cake.
Robert and Gilad are great friends and have worked together for several years: Gilad played on Cuckooland and Comicopera and Robert made a guest appearance on Gilad's 2004 album Musik. It was after hearing a track from Musik that I first contacted Gilad to ask him if he'd like to do a project with my tango group. He agreed, and in 2006 we did a 20-date tour together and recorded 'Tangents', an album of jazz-inspired tango music.
Working with Gilad was an incredible experience; he is a one of the most energetic and positive people I have ever met and as a musician he is simply awe-inspiring, so I was delighted when he asked me if I'd work with him on a project based on Charlie Parker's 'Bird with Strings' album. In 2008 we recorded the album 'In Loving Memory of America' and over the next 18 months we did around 40 gigs as an 8 piece band made up of my string quartet (the Sigamos String Quartet) and Gilad's jazz quartet (the Orient House Ensemble). The project was very well received and we had a great time, so we decided to do another string project together. I suggested the idea of working with a singer and we both instantly thought of Robert. The idea of juxtaposing Robert's voice with the rich, sumptuous sound of a string quartet seemed perfect. Robert liked the idea too, so in early 2009 Gilad and I went up to his place in Lincolnshire to talk it over. We left with a list of jazz standards and some suggestions of our own, and as soon as I got home I started working on the string arrangements. My friend and long-term tango band colleague, the composer/arranger/pianist Jonathan Taylor, also wrote a couple of the arrangements for us.
The creation of the album was a slightly unconventional process. We started by recording the string quartet and bass (Ros Stephen, Tom Piggott-Smith, Rachel Robson, Daisy Vatalaro and Richard Pryce) at Eastcote Studios in London, engineered by Phillip Bagenal. It was logistically impossible for Robert to be there, so the day before we recorded he sang the tunes into my answer phone to help us get the right tempos and feel – I transferred his messages to a CD and took them along to the studio with me! After an intense 14-hour day of recording we took the string tracks to Phil Manzanera's studio where Robert, Alfie and recording engineer Jamie Johnson were waiting.
The first track we opened was 'Laura'. Gilad and I waited on the sofa in trepidation while Robert went into the vocal booth. The moment he started singing was extraordinary. His voice blended perfectly with the strings and we knew instantly that it was going to work. Robert seemed very comfortable singing with the strings; I remember him saying it was the musical equivalent of getting into a lovely warm bath.
The CD was produced by Gilad who astonishingly quickly and imaginatively transformed the raw material into the finished album, adding sax, clarinet, electronics and accordion, and in the case of 'The Ghosts Within', completely reworking the material to the point that it became a completely new piece of music. There should probably be a prize for anyone who can guess which of Robert's songs that one started out as.
The project was very much a collaboration between the three of us and many of our friends: Alfie wrote beautiful lyrics for 'Lullaby for Irena' and the title track 'The Ghosts Within', Tali Atzmon sang the title track, Shadia Mansour and Stormtrap (Ramallah Underground) sang on 'Where Are They Now?', Frank Harrison played piano on several tracks and Julian Rowlands played bandoneon on 'At Last I Am Free'.
Making 'For The Ghosts Within' was an overwhelming experience and I hope people enjoy listening to the album as much as we enjoyed making it.

Big Tunes Touring presents
GYPTIAN - Live !!
Live & Direct from Jamaica touring Australia for the first time ever!
Gyptian will be bringing his unique style of reggae to Australia this June 2011
As THE reggae star on the rise, after his massive 2010 hit Hold Yuh, this is the artist to watch and the concert not to miss!!!
Brace yourself for a massive showcase of Reggae Dancehall Loversrock live!
Born Windel Beneto Edwards, Gyptian grew up in King Weston a Rural District, in St. Andrew, Jamaica raised by a father who was a Rastafarian and his mother a Seventh Day Adventist Christian (who he explained was the disciplinarian of the family).
Gyptian is a bonafide crossover international reggae dancehall star today with an impressive list of lovers rock, roots reggae and dancehall hit singles
Gyptians song Hold Yuh, became a major Dancehall anthem of 2010. Although the track served as an introduction to the artist for many music fans around the world, it was in fact taken off his third album, of the same name
Hold Yuh topped the Billboard Reggae Digital Singles chart for 9 consecutive weeks and also impacted on the Hot 100 in America including becoming a multi-chart hit worldwide and deemed a 2010 Summer Anthem. The 26-year-old artist gained his nickname because he often sported a shirt wrapped around his head in the style of an Egyptian pharaoh. He released his first album in 2006 and songs such as Serious Times and Beautiful Lady became well known tunes in his native Jamaica
Previously awarded the Most Promising Entertainer title at the International Reggae and World Music Awards, Gyptian managed to top that achievement by winning the coveted Best Reggae Artist prize at the Soul Train Awards in November 2010
Gyptian, was at first hesitant and uncertain about becoming a musician but eventually he became serious after a producer from Portmore in St. Catherine took him under his wing. In 2005, the previously unknown singer rose to international acclaim when his debut single Serious Times hit the top of the local and overseas reggae charts, and defeated even Junior Gongs Top Ten Billboard hit Welcome to Jamrock, to be declared Jamaicas Most Important Song of 2005
Gyptian is rapidly establishing himself as the next big star in reggae as his international hit Hold Yuh has proven. The track charted at No 16 and was on the BBC Radio 1Xtra playlist for a record 30 weeks. Quoting the man At this juncture in my life, I live, eat, and breathe music the very air that comes from my mouth brings words of power and wisdom. I have the urge to teach my brothers and sisters until eternity. Explains Gyptian
Gyptian best known hits include Hold Yuh, Nah Let Go, Serious Times, Mama, Beautiful Lady, I Can Feel Your Pain, Love Against The Wall and She's My Lady
The Hi-Fi Bar, 125 Boundary Street, West End

Our products are utilized on trucks, trailers, buses, and off-highway vehicles such as cranes, forklifts, earthmovers, and other specialized equipment. Many of the drums that we make are not made by others because they are new, obsolete or only made by OEMs. In addition, we stock truck, trailer and transit drums competitive with Gunite and Webb at our 7 stocking distribution centers around the country.
Our origins are with the acquisition of the brake drum division of Durametal Corp. (est 1948) in 1998. Since then, we have worked diligently to add new products and product types and we have improved the designs, quality, capacity, price, and our ability to serve the strict requirements of OEMs.

Welcome to Prefixlist.
What once started out of pure curiosity has grown to become the largest containersite on the net. Ever since I entered the intermodal world in 1990, I wondered how many prefixes would exist worldwide. At that time there were not that many, but the intermodal world has grown ever since and I'm trying hard to keep up in the developments.
All container prefixes should be registered by B.I.C. (Bureau International des Containers) in Paris, France in order to prevent more container owners using the same prefix at the same time. It guarantees the global uniqueness of an owner's prefix according to ISO standards (ISO 6346) and eases identification. Unfortunally this registration is not obligatory, so many prefixes are used unregistered. Officially registered or not, global operated or domestic, at Prefixlist you will find them all.
But Prefixlist contains more. Besides the ultimate list of all prefixes in use worldwide you can find all about ISO codes, Country Codes, explanation of how the Check Digit is calculated, a section of ancient containers (Jurassic page), Accidents (Shit Happens page) and a unique webshop. Prefixlist has become the ultimate tool to answer your questions about containers and their origin. Prefixlist is available on Android so you can easily search its database on your smartphone.
Prefixlist was, is and will remain an independent website about container registration and more. And although independency is very important, Prefixlist likes, needs and wants to co-operate with any official instance, organisation or company in order to keep the data on the website as accurate and reliable as possible. And unfortunally this is an unreachable goal. Changes is the container world sometimes go too fast to keep up. Container owning companies come and go so it might occur that certain data is not accurate anymore. If you feel that any data is inaccurate, please notify by sending an email.
Please note: Prefixlist does NOT sell, buy, lease or trade containers and is NOT interested in doing so. Prefixlist is just a data collection, NOT the instance to register your prefix. To register your container prefix you need to be at B.I.C .
Prefixlist is also on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Flickr. Join the communities there and stay on top of all new developments at the site and in the intermodal world.
Enjoy the experience.

TMC has traditionally been accessible via a number of TLDs (Top Level Domains), including .com, org, .net, .eu and .co.uk
Given the current situation with respect to funding, I can no longer justify spending money on TMC domain names that are not core to the identity of TMC. Further, I think that after almost seven years the identity of TMC is sufficiently well estalished for us to be less concerned about impersonators with similar domain names.
For those reasons, I'm not going to renew the .net and .org versions of the TMC domain name.
When I registered the .eu version of the domain name, the "European" aspect of TMC was a key part of our identity. Today, this is no longer so and therefore I have already (albeit reluctantly) released the .eu version of the domain name.
That leaves us with .com and .co.uk, unless I've forgotten something.
Personally, I feel that the .com domain is the core of our identity. I don't think that the .co.uk domain is in the least bit core to our identity, however: the fact that I'm a Brit, as are the moderators, and that the technical infrastructure is based in the U.K. should be immaterial to the identity of TMC today. However, I think that this domain name attracts a fair amount of our traffic from U.K. members, who form a fairly significant part of our membership. I need to gather some information on the break-down of traffic by domain name before making any final decision.
Feedback, as always, is welcome: however, the main purpose of this posting is to act as an update to members.
Thank you all for your support.
