Out with Judas, in with Matthias (3 of 24) by Daniel Rodgers
This content is part of a series.Out with Judas, in with Matthias (3 of 24)
Series: The Acts of the Apostles: A Verse-by-Verse Study
Dan Rodgers
Acts 1:12-26
August 22, 2007
INTRODUCTION: In our lesson last week, we looked at (vv. 9-11) and the ascension of Jesus. Let's read that passage once again.
Our lesson this evening shifts from the Mt. of Olives to the Upper Room, just a short distance away; the Bible says, "a sabbath day's journey" (vs. 12). That would be about a mile and a half.
Here, in an upper room, the disciples gathered together to prayerfully consider who would replace Judas as one of the Lord's 12 disciples (vs. 14). In (vs. 15), we are told that there were about 120 disciples present; remember, the word disciple simply means "one who follows another." These were all followers of Jesus.
I have two main points to our outlines this evening:
I. The Fall of Judas
II. The Rise of Matthias
Truly, the story of Judas is one of the most tragic stories in the entire Bible. Judas was one of the 12 disciples, a man who followed the Lord, sat and ate with Him, ministered on his behalf, and yet, a man who died and went to hell...
A. His Official Position
1. Judas was one of the 12 disciples. He had a high calling and held an honorable position; and yet, he was a man who never really knew the Lord--Jesus called him a "devil." This goes to show you that holding a position of leadership in the church does not necessarily mean a man is saved.
B. His False Profession
1. Judas professed faith in Christ; he led everyone to believe he was one of God's own. Some people ask; "Since Jesus is God and God knows everything, why did He pick Judas to be one of His 12 disciples? He knew he would betray Him, why was he chosen?" In John 6:64, Jesus said, "But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him."
a. Here's what we can say: God lov ...

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by Buffocrat, Oct 18, 2008.
Count on it!
ou not looking too good atm. Aaaaaaaaaaaand, they won't have two teams from the same conference.
Hopefully Penn St. continues to **** up thier season today. Then we'll see USC/Florida vs Texas/Mizzou/Oklahoma.
You know what brought this up in my mind?
TCU's rout of BYU.
If TCU and the University of Cincinnati win out (considering that the Big East is very weak and TCU is the cream of the crop of the MWC) Oklahoma would have the best non conference profile of any remaining one loss team. Plus you add in the strength of the Big 12 this year and what you'll have is Oklahoma leapfrogging USC to get in to the title game. Obviously if Alabama and/or Penn State win out it's all moot, but I think if it comes to Texas running through the rest of the Big 12 undefeated and a bunch of one loss teams Oklahoma will have the best non conference profile......

Norwegian Escape

Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Room Type: Suite
The food was very good. Comparing it to my experience last year on the Norwegian Getaway I felt the service was more personable last year, but that was just a difference in staff I guess. Wish there was more time in Tortola, but overall it was a great experience.

Kamla Nagar is a residential and commercial neighbourhood in North Delhi. It is one of Delhi's major shopping centres.
Kamla Nagar is named after Kamala Nehru, a freedom fighter and wife of Jawaharlal Nehru. The neighbourhood rose to prominence after the erection of Ram Swarup Clock Tower on the Grand Trunk Road in 1941, and the construction of Jaipuria and Birla textile mills. It was also a stop of the erstwhile Delhi Tram Service. Later, it was developed as an affluent residential area in 1950s.
Kamla Nagar and its adjoining neighbourhoods were a centre of political activity during the late British Raj and the first two decades after Independence. Freedom fighters and political personalities like Aruna Asaf Ali, Guru Radha Kishan, Bharatiya Jana Sangh General Secretary Kanwar Lal Gupta, Purshottam Goyal, Murari Lal Gupta Chharia, BABA RAM SWAROOP and Shivcharan Gupta were active there.[1] Wrestlers like Dara Singh, Guru Hanuman, Satpal Singh, Bhupendra Dhawan and Maha Singh Rao trained in the akharas of the area. It was also a cultural hub after Independence with Gulzar, Santosh Anand and Manoj Kumar being active there during some part of their lives before becoming popular in Bollywood.
It was also the venue of Guru Radha Kishan's 24-day fast to support the rights of labour unions of textile mills where he rose to prominence from. He was elected the youngest member of Delhi Municipal Committee.[2]
Kamla Nagar is surrounded by New Chandrawal Village, University of Delhi's North campus and Kamla Nehru Ridge Forest on the east, Roop Nagar on the north, Shakti Nagar on the west and Malka Ganj on the south. The Grand Trunk Road separates Kamla Nagar from Shakti Nagar. It shares much of its character and history with the adjoining neighbourhoods of Shakti Nagar, Roop Nagar and Malka Ganj. It was built as a residential colony in 1950s divided into six blocks three roundabouts. It comprises a mix of apartment buildings and bungalows.Kamla nagar was developed and sold by DLF, a company of Ch raghubir singh.
Although originally built as a residential colony, it has transformed into a major commercial centre of Delhi, and the most prominent in North Delhi. The commercial streets house a mix of international brands and Indian stores, mostly located on and around Bungalow Road, opposite Hans Raj College. The retail stores and restaurants are located on lower floors of the market while the upper stories have retained their residential character.
Indian street-food joints, Chinese fast food joints and street side apparel shops are also characteristic of these commercial streets. Along with these local food joints all the brands are available like Mc Donalds, Cafe Coffee Day, Dominos etc.[3]
Places of interest[edit]
Places of interest include the 17th century Roshanara Garden and the adjacent 19th century Roshanara Club in Shakti Nagar. Kamla Nehru Ridge Forest, which lies on the east of Kamla Nagar, has historic monuments such as the Mutiny Memorial, Flagstaff Tower and one of the several Ashoka Pillars. Ram Swarup Clock Tower lies on the southern edge of Kamla Nagar. Delhi Vidhan Sabha and Viceregal Lodge of Delhi (now Vice Chancellor's Residence) are also nearby.
Shopping Hub of Delhi[edit]
Kamla Nagar has become one of the top shopping areas for Delhi. Kamla Nagar is now converting into a ladies' high street shopping center, where one can find famous western and ethnic clothing, along with cheaper street-bargaining type shopping. During the sale periods of July - August and February - March, people rush to this market for all types of apparel shopping.Now there is a mall named Starbucks
Recreational facilities[edit]
Delhi University Stadium and Roshanara Club are the closest sports facilities. Delhi Police's Polo Grounds in GTB Nagar and Chhatrasal Stadium in Model Town are other nearby sports stadia.
University of Delhi's North campus lies to the east of Kamla Nagar. Hans Raj college Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi School of Economics, St. Stephen's College, Hindu College, Shri Ram College of Commerce, Daulat Ram College, SGTB Khalsa College, Miranda House, Kirori Mal College, Ramjas College and Indraprastha College for Women are some of the prominent educational and research institutions in the vicinity.

Blues for a Fiver
No, the North Mississippi Allstars isn't a sexual position. It's a band. And if you haven't listened to their Grammy-nominated shit, you should. If you've heard the album but never seen them perform live, you should make this the first to-do on your Being An Un-Lame-O Starting Now list. At 8 p.m. Wednesday, see the North Mississippi Allstars country-rock out with their contemporary-blues-and-sometimes-even-hip-hop cocks out at the House of Blues, 2200 N Lamar St. Tickets are $5, so you'd better go. Because if House of Blues starts not making money on these kinds of cheap shows featuring cool bands, they'll stop doing them. And then, we'll all be looking at their event calendar pissed off because every show is a million fafillion dollars and we'll have to come beat you up for ruining everything by not going to see NMA for cheap.

I had the pleasure of voicing the character of "Dawn" in BlindSide, an award-winning audio adventure game. Additionally, I edited their trailer and other promotional videos.
BlindSide is a survival/horror audio-only adventure game developed by Aaron Rasmussen & Michael T. Astolfi.
Aside from a splash screen, menus, HUD, and credits, the game is otherwise completely graphics-less. Instead of using their eyes, players explore their environment guided only by what they can hear around them in the virtual world. Based on a personal experience of Aaron who was temporarily blinded in a high school chemistry accident, BlindSide simulates the experience of being blind, generating 3D audio through standard stereo headphones. This allows BlindSide's players to navigate the game's virtual world, and offers an identical gameplay experience for both sighted and visually impaired gamers. On iOS devices, this effect is further enhanced by an innovative gyro control scheme, which allows players to change which way their avatar is facing in-game just by rotating their body in the real world.

La Maison Dolin, founded in 1821 by Joseph Chavasse, remains to this day a family company situated in Chambéry at the heart of the Alps. Producing a range of authentic vermouths, sirops and specialised spirits and liqueurs they continue to maintain the tradition of their heritage.
Vermouth de Chambéry – Appelation d'Origine (AO) since 1932 is the only French Vermouth to hold an AO. Although the exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, Dolin vermouth is a special infusion of Ugni-Blanc wine with up to 35 herbs and aromatic plants from the Alpine meadows including: wormwood, hyssop, camomile, juniper, quinine bark and rose petals.
The beautiful, Chambéryzette from the same stable, is made with the addition of juice of wild strawberries from the local region.
Bonal Gentiane - Quina: This unique vin apéritif, named after Hyppolite Bonal, who spent 8 years as a monk and doctor at the Grande Chartreuse Monastery was first produced by him in 1858 after deciding to leave the monastery and use his extensive knowledge of plants to create medicinal potions. Described as : "..a fortifying wine that provides comfort, vitality and is an appetite enhancer..", Bonal is produced at the Bonal Distillery, situated in Saint Laurnet-du-Pont in the south east of France towards the Swiss border. Key to its constituents – the Chartreuse Gentian Root – the differentiating factor from other recipes is the careful extraction of flavours over months by infusion of the various mountain plants, Orange zests, Cichona and Chartreuse Gentian Root. "Ouvre L'appetit" - The key to the appetite.
Suedois: Suedois, meaning "Swedish" in French, is a homage to Swedish doctor Claus Samst who produced a special elixir cited as being able to heal 46 differing ailments and diseases back in the 18th Century. Then in 1821, Joseph Chavasse, founder of La Maison Dolin, decided to save the elixir from obscurity and produced Suedois Dolin. Suedois Dolin, comprising a mixture of myrrh, aloe, gentian, rhubarb, orange and agaric macerations in alcohol with the addition of sugar; is today drunk as an aperitif or digestive and also proves very versatile as a cocktail ingredient to bring a subtle layer of complexity.
Génépi: Using locally sourced Génépi (wormwood) from the Alps this magnificent liqueur is a maceration of alcohol, Génépi, sugar and a variety of other herbs producing a liqueur in the Chartreuse style. With its distinctive pale gold wormwood hue and floral aroma of Artemisia this is a classic digestive drink.
Marie Dolin - Sirops de Fruit: Named after Marie Dolin - daughter of the founder of La Maison Dolin, situated in the heart of the Alps - the Dolin company continues its legacy with this range of exquisite fruit sirops. Each one is made to an exclusive recipe from Marie Dolin giving a sirop of intense flavour, fragrance and colour. Born in 1820, Her father was a specialist in Liqueurs. Steeped in this heritage she began to develop recipes for syrups made from wild plants and herbs.

144 pages, 125 col photos
This book explores each of the great apes (gorillas, chimpanzees - including bonobos - and orangutans), interpreting the latest research and describing relationships among the different species, all in the context of the mounting threat of extinction. The 125 up-close images by internationally renowned wildlife photographer Karl Ammann illustrate the behaviours of these intriguing, humanlike animals. The result is a compelling overview of what we have learned about these fascinating creatures, and in turn, what they can teach us about ourselves.

I got mine too. I really appreciate it. Thanx.

You guys are welcome. I am sorry it took so long to get them out. I believe that there are four requests outstanding and when I get a few minutes to burn them I will drop them in the mail, BuffLuke, Marching Buff, one or two more that I can't remember at the moment.
Now, I need to find a sports bar tomorrow since the game is not on FSN up here.
Cool been waitin on that, I appreciate it. Lets hope we get another result like that game this week. Wasnt the '90 game 27-12? Hell it might have been 28, I know all the points came in the fourth. Been a long time though, I was about 10 at the time.
Go Buffs!!!

Browse All Decks from A - Z
The Chakra Wisdom Oracle has 49 charming cards, each linked with a chakra and illustrated by a mystical fable revealed to psychic and deck creator, Tori Hartman. This unique divination deck is designed to help with intention-setting and manifesting dreams.
Drawing on tarot mythology, astrology and other occult disciplines, the Chalice Tarot was first begun in 1986. The cards are fully coloured with semi-abstract designs. It was first published as a 22 card set, and is now also in print as a full 78 card deck.
The images on every card in the Chaos Tarot are derived from the Mandelbrot set. The mathematical equation of a fractal creates some weird and strangely intriguing shapes. The author describes it as a 'roadmap to surreality'.
The Chat du Marseilles Tarot is a trumps-only deck drawn in French style, based on the 1761 Conver Marseilles. It's quite traditional but for one thing - instead of humans, there are cats!
The Cheimonette Tarot has 80 cards with elegant ink and watercolour illustrations. The card art mixes new interpretations of old imagery, new and historic mythology, and the artist's own personal vision. The deck was self-published and printed by Carta Mundi, thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.
The Chelsea Lenormand takes its inspiration from prints and posters of the Arts and Crafts movement. The 39-card Lenormand deck is available in two differently coloured editions: the 'Blue' in Rider-Waite-Smith style colours, and the 'Red' in a more restricted colour palette. Both decks are self-published in limited editions of 500 decks, and are packaged in a vintage-style tin box.
The Children Tarot has youthful and naive drawings in pastel that are for "participating in the fairy tale of life". The majors are cute and happy and the minors have pip-style arrangements with small illustrations included as well.
The China Tarot is a re-release of the Chinese-published Der-Jen Tarot by Lo Scarabeo. The majors are rather beautiful atmospheric paintings, and the minors are similiar in feel but feature Chinese suit emblems instead of illustrated scenes.
Very pretty, traditional Oriental artwork is used in the Chinese Tarot, combined with a mix of Rider-Waite style and unique Tarot symbolism. Both the major and minor arcana have fully-illustrated cards. Now out of print.
The Chocolate Tarot is a full 78 card tarot deck based on the history and influence of chocolate throughout the world. The cards show its progression from discovery as an Aztec food until the present popularity in a range of styles and old-time advertisements. Finally - a tarot about chocolate.

"Working with MarketInvoice fits in with our business because it's rapid. It works with the way we work"
Gavin Williams, founder of FATUnicorn
FATUnicorn (previously Fishrod Interactive) build connected interactive experiences. The team is formed of a group of talented developers, designers and project managers who use the latest technology to build awesome experiences for their clients. It's a fast moving world where innovation is a necessity and being small and agile is the reason this business is at the top of their game.
For FATUnicorn, the biggest challenge was managing the long payment terms of their clients - some of their biggest, most exciting projects were for big companies with payment terms of 60, 90 or even 180 days. It started to impact on their growth.
They also struggled to get the level of funding they needed from the bank as they're an asset-light agency whose main product is ideas rather than anything physical.
"If everybody used MarketInvoice, everybody would get paid faster and life would be a lot easier!"
Gavin Williams
Technology is a fast moving world where innovation is a necessity and being small and agile is the reason this business is at the top of their game. They needed a source of funding that reflected that and gave them a sufficient level of funding despite having few tangible assets.
That's where we came in.
"MarketInvoice allows us to overcome the challenge of getting funding against a product that isn't physical."
Using MarketInvoice allowed them to access the funds they needed from their lond-dated invoices on day one and enabled them to stay flexible and flourish.
How we've helped hundreds of businesses like yours take control of their cash flow.

Bill Gates Quotes About GoalsQuotes about: Goals
If your goal is to make the world a better place, one thing you can do is pick a specific challenge that you really care about. Then, learn as much as you can about it and try to volunteer your time to help an organization that is working in this area. While you're doing that, look for creative new ways to use technology to tackle parts of the problem that you come in contact with.
Cutting through complexity to find a solution runs through four predictable stages: determine a goal, find the highest-leverage approach, discover the ideal technology for that approach, and in the meantime, make the smartest application of the technology that you already have - whether it's something sophisticated, like a drug, or something simpler, like a bednet.

A fastener is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints; that is, joints that can be removed or dismantled without damaging the joining components.[1] Welding is an example of creating permanent joints.
Fasteners can also be used to close a container such as a bag, a box, or an envelope; or they may involve keeping together the sides of an opening of flexible material, attaching a lid to a container, etc. There are also special-purpose closing devices, e.g. a bread clip.
Some types of woodworking joints make use of separate internal reinforcements, such as dowels or biscuits, which in a sense can be considered fasteners within the scope of the joint system, although on their own they are not general purpose fasteners.
Furniture supplied in flat-pack form often uses cam dowels locked by cam locks, also known as conformat fasteners.
Items like a rope, string, wire (e.g. metal wire, possibly coated with plastic, or multiple parallel wires kept together by a plastic strip coating), cable, chain, or plastic wrap may be used to mechanically join objects; but are not generally categorized as fasteners because they have additional common uses. Likewise, hinges and springs may join objects together, but are ordinarily not considered fasteners because their primary purpose is to allow articulation rather than rigid affixment.
Other alternative methods of joining materials include: crimping, welding, soldering, brazing, taping, gluing, cementing, or the use of other adhesives. The use of force may also be used, such as with magnets, vacuum (like suction cups), or even friction.
There are three major steel fasteners used in industries: stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel. The major grade used in stainless steel fasteners: 200 series, 300 series, and 400 series.
In 2005, it is estimated that the United States fastener industry runs 350 manufacturing plants and employs 40,000 workers. The industry is strongly tied to the production of automobiles, aircraft, appliances, agricultural machinery, commercial construction, and infrastructure. More than 200 billion fasteners are used per year in the U.S., 26 billion of these by the automotive industry. The largest distributor of fasteners in North America is the Fastenal Company.[2]
When selecting a fastener for industrial applications, it is important to consider a variety of factors. The threading, the applied load on the fastener, the stiffness of the fastener, and the number of fasteners needed should all be taken into account.[3] See below for material considerations.
Industrial Fastener Materials
There are three major steel fasteners used in industries: stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel. The major grade used in stainless steel fasteners: 200 series, 300 series, and 400 series. Titanium, aluminum, and various alloys are also common materials of construction for metal fasteners.
In many cases, special coatings or plating may be applied to metal fasteners to improve their performance characteristics by, for example, enhancing corrosion resistance. Common coatings/platings include zinc, chrome, and hot dip galvanizing.[4]
When choosing a fastener for a given application, it is important to know the specifics of that application to help select the proper material for the intended use. Factors that should be considered include:
- Accessibility
- Environment, including temperature, water exposure, and potentially corrosive elements
- Installation process
- Materials to be joined
- Reusability
- Weight restrictions[5]
- anchor bolt
- batten
- bolt (fastener)
- brass fastener
- buckle
- button
- cable tie
- captive fastener
- clamp (or cramp)
- clasps
- cleco
- clips
- clutch
- drawing pin (thumbtack)
- flange
- frog
- grommet
- hook-and-eye closure
- hook and loop fastener
- latch
- nail
- pegs
- PEM nut
- pins
- retaining rings
- circlip
- e-ring
- rivet
- rock bolt
- rubber band (or bands of other materials)
- screw anchor
- snap fastener
- staple
- stitches
- strap
- threaded fastener
- tie
- toggle bolt
- treasury tag
- twist tie
- wedge anchor
- zipper
Fastener TerminologyEdit
- Screw thread: A uniform ridge on the external or internal surface of a cylinder, forming a helix around or inside the cylinder's circumference.
- External thread: thread on the outside of a fastener.
- Internal thread: thread on the inside of a fastener.
- Right hand thread: thread is "right hand" when, viewed axially, it winds in a clockwise and receding direction around the fastener; all threads are right hand unless otherwise designated.
- Left hand thread: thread is "left hand" when, viewed axially, it winds in a counterclockwise and receding direction around the fastener; left hand threads are designated LH.
- Pitch: the distance from one point on a screw thread to a corresponding point on an adjacent thread; pitch is measured parallel to its axis in the same axial plane and on the same side of the axis. Pitch is most commonly used for metric fasteners and specified in millimeters.
- Threads per inch (TPI): decimal count of the number of threads on a one-inch section of fastener. Threads per inch is most commonly used for inch-measure fasteners.
- Head: an enlarged section at one end of a fastener that provides a bearing surface.
- Body: the unthreaded portion of a bolt between the head and the threads; some fasteners are fully threaded and therefore have no body.
- Shank: the portion of a headed fastener between the head and the opposite end.
- Grip length: the total distance from the underside of a nut attached to a fastener to the bearing face of a fastener head.[6]
Standards & Traceability for Military HardwareEdit
American screws, bolts, and nuts were historically not fully interchangeable with their British counterparts, and therefore would not fit British equipment properly. This, in part, helped lead to the development of numerous United States military standards and specifications for the manufacturing of essentially any piece of equipment that is used for military or defense purposes, including fasteners. World War II was a significant factor in this change.
A key component of most military standards is traceability. Put simply, hardware manufacturers must be able to trace their materials to their source, and provide traceability for their parts going into the supply chain, usually via bar codes or similar methods. This traceability is intended to help ensure that the right parts are used and that quality standards are met in each step of the manufacturing process; additionally, substandard parts can traced back to their source.[7]

Don Troiani
Biography from the Archives of askART
DON TROIANI is a soul lost in time; a twentieth century artist to whom the life of the common soldier of the Civil War through the mid Eighteenth Century is as familiar and vivid as the surroundings of his Connecticut studio. While there are many other painters who have turned their attention to historical art, none have done so with the enthusiasm, insight and dedication of this accomplished recorder of drama and detail.
In the spirit of presenting historical truth through art, Don Troiani has personally set uncompromising standards of excellence and authenticity in his field that few others can equal. Models are chosen with the greatest care to achieve the proper look of the men in mid-Victorian America. The garb and gear of each figure are painstakingly researched. Appropriate backgrounds are found and studied, sometimes sending the artist hundreds of miles from home to examine battlefields and structures firsthand. Because of the great amount of research that goes into one of his works, it is often years between a painting's conception and the actual moment the brush is put to canvas.
"If an historical painting is not accurate, then it's worthless both as art and as a historical document," Troiani declares. "If you are going to become involved in this field then there is little excuse for a pattern of inaccuracies."
Indeed, Troiani's lifelong focus on America's military heritage enables him to present that subject with a credibility that surpasses his contemporaries. For a quarter century he has methodically built one of the great private reference collections of Civil War, 1812 and Revolutionary War uniforms, equipage, insignia and weapons which he calls on to add the unique dimension of realism he is so well known for. An expert researcher with a personal Civil War library of over 2,000 volumes, he is assisted in his search for the truth by a select network of advanced collectors, curators and historians whom he corresponds with regularly and who open their own collections to him.
Because of his unparalleled familiarity with Civil War artifacts, Troiani is regularly contacted by major museums and collectors from across the country who greatly value his firsthand knowledge. Numerous items from his collection have appeared in the acclaimed Time-Life Book series on the Civil War and Salamander's "Fighting Men Of The Civil War Series." Other of his artifacts have been loaned for the exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution, Delaware Historical Society, Virginia Historical Society and the National Park Service Visitors Center in Gettysburg, PA. Many items have been illustrated in the Time-Life "Echoes Of Glory" series. His artwork has appeared on television productions on NBC, CNN, A&E network and Discovery channels.
"You can look at a picture of an artifact for days and still not know it. But examining it in your own hands reveals its texture, its substance and how it works," explains Troiani, who is also an active Fellow of The Company of Military Historians. Many times he has had costly reproductions of rare or delicate original items hand-crafted so they can be used actively by his models.
Born in New York City in 1949, Troiani's future as a premier interpreter of history seemed pre-destined. His father, an accomplished commercial artist, encouraged his talented son and kept him supplied with paper, paint and direction. His mother, a successful antiques dealer, nurtured her son's interest in the past and showed him the importance of having a three- dimensional view of history. By the time he began perfecting his skills at the Pennsylvania Academy Of Fine Arts and New York City's Art Students League, his role as a consummate realist was already clear.
Since launching his professional career before the Bicentennial and demonstrating his gift for combining art and historical integrity, there has been a strong, increasing demand for Troiani's work by both distinguished private collectors and important institutions.
His work is represented in the collections of American Heritage Magazine, Time-Life Books, Smithsonian Magazine and the Smithsonian's Museum of History and Technology. McGraw-Hill, the National Park Service, Gettysburg NHP, Ft. Necessity NHP, Ft. Scott NHP, Guilford Court House NHP, Saratoga NHP, Boston NHP, Cowpens NHP, Petersburg NHP, Morristown NHP, U.S. Army War College, U.S. Marine Corps Museum, Pejebscot Historical Society, Brunswick, ME, Command General Staff College, Ft. Leavenworth, KS, North Carolina Museum of History, Parks of Canada, the Pentagon, U.S. Army National Guard, the Pennsylvania National Guard, The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, West Point Museum, U.S. Cavalry Museum at Fort Riley, Kansas, War Library and Museum of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the U.S., Heritage Plantation in Sandwich, Mass., and the National Civil War Museum, Harrisburg. PA.
His work has also appeared on a U.S. postal card commemorating the 350th anniversary of the U.S. National Guard. Troiani is also a recipient of the Meritorious Service Award of the National Guard. For his work in Battlefield Preservation, Don Troiani has recently been elected to the National Advisory Board of the Association For The Preservation Of Civil War Sites. He also serves on the advisory board to the Anne Brown Library, Providence, RI.
"America's history is filled with action, color and excitement. It is certainly a valid subject for an artist to pursue as long as it is approached in a thoughtful and thorough way," Troiani said. "There has been too much distortion over the years. I believe the more accurate the presentation is, the clearer our image will be of our heritage. It is a far better way to honor our ancestors."
With this sense of "mission," Don Troiani will no doubt continue to capture a crucial period in our nation's past with style, emotion and unparalleled accuracy. It is truly a special way to honor our ancestors.

A: No. The closest we came was 40 years ago when Jimmy Hill, then the chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association, called off a strike after the Football League agreed to abolish the maximum wage.
Q: The Professional Footballers' Association say they should get five per cent of the fees which television companies pay to the Premier League and the Nationwide League. How much have they received in the past?
A: Under the terms of the previous deal, agreed four years ago, the PFA received £8.8 million. Although that works out at slightly less than five per cent of the money the leagues were paid under their old media rights deals, there is no specific agreement to pay a percentage. Before the Premier League was formed in 1992, there was a clause in the old Football League handbook which set out clearly the terms of the agreement with the PFA. Under that they were entitled to 10 per cent of TV monies. When the Premiership was set up, that became a sliding scale agreement where the PFA got 10 per cent of a fixed amount and not less than five per cent on the rest. In 1997, the last time a deal was agree, it became simply "proportional" to TV income
Q: So, although they have been offered a smaller percentage this time, the PFA have actually been offered a bigger sum of money?
A:Yes. On behalf of the Football League and the FA, who are the junior partners in these negotiations, the Premier League started by offering a total package of about £9m, or less than one per cent of the new media deals worth nearly £1.8 billion which started this season. They have since increased their offer to £16.7m a year.
Q: What would the PFA use the money for?
A: The PFA funds three programmes to help current and former players. The benevolent and hardship fund designed to help professionals who have fallen on hard times, the education fund to guide players into new careers once their playing days are over and the welfare fund to help those with medical problems. The PFA also has a general fund which covers the running costs of the union.
Q: What are the other PFA sources of income?
A: Their members pay subscription fees of £75 a year. The PFA have around £20m in assets which, they say, are kept in reserve in case the league's handouts dry up.
Q: So, do they need more money?
A: This goes to the heart of the dispute. The PFA says it could do much more to help its members with the extra cash but insists the dispute is more about a principle. They want the leagues to stick to the five per cent they received last time. The football authorities on the other hand claim the PFA doesn't spend all the money they give to it now so are reluctant to hand over three times as much. One of the stumbling blocks in the negotiations has been how much say the leagues will have in how the new money is spent by the PFA.
Q: Are there any other examples in this country of trade unions getting a guaranteed percentage of employers' incomes for welfare funds?
A: No. The PFA is a unique employers' association which was set up to protect players and former players when they were paid much smaller salaries. When TV started covering football more than 40 years ago, it was agreed that the union should get a share of the money the leagues, and in turn the clubs, were paid because players had waived their individual TV rights.
Q: Do other European leagues hand over any TV money to their players' unions?
A: Yes, but in much smaller amounts. In France £1m is given to the union while in Spain the players' association receives £600,000. They are the only ones among the major European football nations. Germany and Italy both give nothing.
Q: How did PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor become such a key person in the sport?
A: Taylor's playing career was spent mainly with Bolton where he was a journeyman professional between 1960 and 1970. But he showed a determination to get to the top in football administration and nearly got the job as chief executive of the Football League. He eventually took over as head of the PFA in 1981 and has steered the union through football's massive change. He has earned respect for supporting his players through difficult times and is never afraid to be outspoken. As players' salaries have increased, so too has Taylor's influence. But at the same time he has also come to be seen as the voice for what the public now regards as an over paid, greedy bunch of prima donnas. He defends himself by saying that he is there to look after the less fortunate. But his massive salary and chauffeur-driven Jaguar have not helped his, or the PFA's, image.
Q: Taylor's opponents have made much play about his £400,000-plus a year salary? What does he say, and how does that compare with other trade union leaders?
A: Taylor argues that for a union which represents players who, in some cases, earn more than £50,000 a week his salary reflects the status of his members. He is, however, the highest-paid union official in the country and earns more, for instance, than FA chief executive Adam Crozier.
Q: The other accusation levelled at Taylor and the PFA is that they are so awash with money that they could afford to "squander" some on a Lowry painting? What is the story?
A: Taylor bought the famous LS Lowry painting, Going to the Match, from an anonymous collector at Sotheby's in 1999 for £1.9m. He says the painting is an investment, but Chelsea chairman Ken Bates said: "If they can afford to buy a £2m Lowry painting, why do they need any more money, if indeed anything at all?"
Q: Why is there so much anti-Taylor propaganda being put out?
A: The clubs are angry at the players union for demanding so much money when players' wages in the Premiership have increased by 188 per cent in the last five years. In Division One, 95 per cent of clubs' turnover is paid out again to the players in wages.
Q: What is their agenda?
A: They say they value the role of the PFA and don't want to see it destroyed. But some more critical chairmen of Premiership clubs believe the PFA is an anachronistic organisation which is no longer relevant to modern football. They believe players already earn enough to look after themselves and their former colleagues.
Q: Could the leagues afford to pay more to the PFA?
A: Yes, they earn more than £600m a year through TV deals. But that money is paid straight out to the clubs.
Q: If the strike goes ahead, which matches would it affect?
A: All games with cameras present, i.e. all of them, on 1 December. The first would be Chelsea's match at Manchester United.

Auckland: New Zealand all-rounder Jacob Oram will miss the rest of the one-day international series against Australia due to a knee problem.
Oram, who suffered the injury during the first ODI in Napier, could also miss a large portion of the 2010 Indian Premier League season - he plays for the Chennai Super Kings - after being ruled out for up to a month.
"Jacob suffered a partial tear of the patella tendon," New Zealand team manager Dave Currie said in a statement. "It is expected that Jacob will recover in three or four weeks."
Oram has been replaced in the Black Caps squad by Central Districts medium-pacer Michael Mason.
New Zealand also have concerns over captain Daniel Vettori, who missed the series opener against Ricky Ponting's men with a stiff neck, but they remain hopeful he will be fit for game two in Auckland on Saturday.

Since then, however, the film has opened in the US (on 19 June) to record box-office - it was launched on no less than 15 per cent of all screens - and had grossed nearly dollars 124m as of Monday.
'The first film died relatively quickly,' says Julian Senior, Vice President of European Marketing for Warner Brothers, who hopes, naturally, for even greater things for Batman Returns. 'This one, we believe, will go on.' Once sequels were automatically expected to do worse than the originals; this is no longer necessarily true. When the first film appears on video, it helps build an audience for its successors. The summer's other American blockbuster, Lethal Weapon 3, is a prime example. All these figures, incidentally, exclude video revenue (dollars 140m in the US; dollars 45.50m worldwide); and an unknown amount from television, cable and satellite sales. A ballpark estimate of Batman's total revenue in all the media would be upwards of dollars 2bn.
Meanwhile the budget of Batman Returns remains shrouded in mystery: one Warners executive puts it at dollars 42m, but some trade papers have estimated it as high as dollars 80m and speculate that around dollars 12m was spent on US advertising alone.
THE biggest bucks of all spring from Batman's licensing and merchandising operation. The first film earned about dollars 1bn worldwide in related product sales, of which Warners stands to reap 10 per cent in royalties. As a rule of thumb, piracy accounts for 15- 20 per cent of the official revenue. So, if Batman merchandise earned dollars 1bn, that would mean the pirates pocketed a cool dollars 150m-dollars 200m. T-shirts are the most easily pirated items (in 1989 Batman caused a 'global shortage of plain black T-shirts') and one source reckons that, in addition to 20 million licensed T-shirts sold last time round, another 10 million bootlegs changed hands.
This time a hologrammed logo has been issued to deter pirates, but the battle continues. This year Labour got into trouble over its 'VAT-man' election poster and was instructed by Warners' legal department to make a donation to charity.
When does parody become piracy? Sarah Davies of Warner Brothers has no doubts: 'If they are capitalising on one of our characters for a promotion, then it's illegal and we will take it further.'
COMPANIES were reluctant to be associated with the first film - they considered it to be 'too dark' and, according to Davies, many licencees were found only after Batman had launched. 'Now they are clamouring to get on board.' Yet, paradoxically, Batman Returns is an even gloomier, more perverse, more adult film - which may enhance its overseas box- office prospects. Batman did slightly less well than other US movies in Europe, compared to its success in the US. 'Batman's an American comic- book character,' says Senior, explaining his greater popularity there. 'And American audiences tend to be much younger: Batman was more kid- oriented. Batman Returns is different, quite different - it's much darker and will probably appeal to an older, more sophisticated audience.'
The film will open in Europe over the next few months and will eventually reach some Eastern European countries; but not Russia, where there is the problem of converting revenue into hard currency and where, Senior says, 'my personal feeling is that there are more important things for people to do right now with their leisure money.'
THE New York headquarters of DC Comics, which sells Batman in his print incarnation, was tight-lipped about earnings; they have 'certain restrictions on information'. In Wisconsin, Don Thompson, editor of the Comic Buyer's Guide, estimates a 'pretty solid' circulation of about 250,000 per title - there are four, each appearing at monthly intervals - at dollars 1.25 a copy. 'I wouldn't say that the circulation has shot up as a result of the film, although there has been some improvement. A successful TV show, yes. Twenty-five years ago it had a very definite effect on sales.'
With the exception of a new Batman title being introduced in the autumn on the back of the forthcoming animated television series, which will reflect its simpler graphic style, Thompson does not feel that the Batman movies have influenced the look of the books. 'Exactly the opposite: their tone was affected by the comics. I can't say that Jack Nicholson influenced any of the Joker stories; the books were already making him a nastier character before the movies were made.' Thompson's verdict on Batman Returns: 'It's not Citizen Kane, but people expecting to see a Batman movie will see a Batman movie.'

Here's your regular that was supposed to come out last night! As for the regular today I'll do that tomorrow or sunday~
Well enjoy it
Until next time Ciao Cubs
Hydra now realized that the moment one passes a test they are able to take a leaf from these branches would then become their armor! This was something that Hydra thought was truly amazing. Although he was sure that he could now take this dark green armor as a new type of armor for himself, he wasn't sure if one was only allowed a single leaf to use. Thus if he passed the next floor and took this one but wasn't allowed another he would lose an incredible chance!
However on the flip side it meant that only a few hundred were even able to pass this test out of the thousands of elves! After experiencing the test himself he too realized that without some sort of special ability it would be nearly impossible to collect all the leaves, as he thought about this he stared at the tree in the middle as he was climbing further up the [White Winged Tree]. Although he found it difficulty truthfully Hydra's blood was boiling! This was the perfect place for him to test his abilities and although the first had nearly ended in failure, it only fueled his spirit.
After turning his gaze to the ceiling he smiled and softly muttered.
"I can't wait to see what's next. I know this is supposed to be means aving this tree but these trials are too awesome!"
He started to climb once again, carrying Pan in his arms who had he had his tails wrapped around Hydra's arms, prepared to take the next test.
The distance Hydra had to climb this time was much further and took much longer but that didn't bother Hydra one bit. As he got closer and looked one more jump to the next branch his excitement only grew. It was then that Hydra finally reached the final branched and stepped onto the next floor. This time without any caution and an aura full of confidence he looked around the area.
Much like the first floor, there was a another tree in the center however this tree was much, much smaller. Infact the tree was only a bit taller than Hydra! This tree was as skinny as a built man, thus by no means a wide tree. The branches were thin, but seemed incredibly durable as it looked like it could bend 90 degrees and still not break. Instead of green leaves like the previous tree, these leaves were yellow! Finally when Hydra had a good look at the tree the orange message finally appeared!
|Second Trial: Trial of Strength!
|Rules: Defeat the opponent! There is no time limit.
Without hesitation, Hydra put Pan down and nodded towards him before quickly pressing the start button. He was brimming with confidence and although each trial was not easy and very possible for him to fail he didn't mind that. Right now the only thing Hydra had on his mind was what kind of opponent he was going to get. Would he be gigantic? Strong? Swift? All these ideas ran through Hydra's head. As long as one wasn't in a death match Hydra would without a doubt enjoy fighting with people, and of course these trials were not set up in order to kill the opponent, as such what better spot for him to fight?!
As he was thinking that the tree in front of him shuddered. The shudder was quiet and slow, as he stared from the bottom and worked its way to the top without any hint of rushing. As the shudder ran through each and branch and through the tips of every yellow leaf, the tree started to have a reaction. The tree started to move! Not a shudder like before but the branches were moving! That wasn't all a the tree then started to take on form! This form was none other than a similar image of Hydra!
Although the facial features were not there, the outline of the shapes, equipment and pose were all similar! The main difference was the colours, as the yellow leaves had now taken the form of armor and instead of black or rotted looking leather, it was a beautiful yet soft yellow. Just before it took on the last bit of its form Hydra quickly called out.
|[Mirror Tree] (Legendary Plant)
|Health ?/?
|LvL ?/?
|An ancient tree where only one can ever exist at a time. If there were to exist two, and they possibly met their existences as doppelgänger would destroy themselves. As such the [White Winged Tree] has been watching over the [Mirror Tree] for a very long time. The [Mirror Tree] will copy all the abilities of the one it finds an enemy. However in this case as the [Mirror Tree] has been chosen as a guardian of the second trial it will not kill those it transforms into. All stats, abilities, equipment, bonuses and equipment skills will be copied by the [Mirror Tree]. Thus if you wish to pass one must overcome themselves!
"I get to fight myself? Interesting!"
Just as Hydra finished reading the last bit of the message the [Mirror Tree] finally made its move! It struck out with its wooden [Shadow Stealer] towards Hydra! In response Hydra didn't block but instead with the minimum amount of movement he dodged to the side. When he did he immediately counter attacked in the same way the [Mirror Tree] had just failed in!
"Let's see how similar you truly are!"
Hydra was just testing how far the [Mirror Tree] could copy his abilities, and as such he was surprised by the actions of the tree. In fact instead of merely copying Hydra, it had flawlessly also dodged the sword! One could say that was indeed copying however in such a timely dodged was timed nearly perfectly, thus how could one argue such a timely dodge was a copy? Although the tree itself copied Hydra's abilities it still had to utilize those abilities for itself.
Hydra had forgotten, however that this [Mirror Tree] had been here since ancient times! Patiently waiting and testing all the elves that had come time and time again! It was only natural that the [Mirror Tree] would have enough experience to utilize all of Hydra's abilities! The absolute only difference between the two was stamina! After all, Hydra was still human, but the [Mirror Tree] was a plant! Although Hydra assumed its stamina was not infinite, he also could assume the reason there was no time limit was because Aspa would not have to worry about the [Mirror Tree] getting exhausted!
A counter attack came back to Hydra and as if to test the full extent of the copy in front of him Hydra strode forward with a burst of strength. As he did he dodged the incoming blow and grabbed the [Shadow Stealer] with two hands and swung in a diagonal motion will all his strength!
Although it was an impractical approach coming from Hydra without making sure that this tree was the exact same as him, he would need make 100% sure. If this was the case, the one weakness he could think about himself was his strength! Although he was strong, his agility was definitely his strong point! Even then he almost failed the agility test, but this was different! If it wa his own strength he knew how to overcome that! It was to use all in slashes with every bit of strength he could muster each time!
As he thought this his slash made a heavy blow towards the [Mirror Tree]! As such the Tree blocked it with its own wooden sword, but immediately after it seemed to be having troubles withstanding the blow and backed off. Noticing this, Hydra grinned and spoke towards the [Mirror Tree].
"Now, we know one another's weakness. Shall we go straight to it?"
Without waiting for a reply, whether or not the tree could talk Hydra knew it had some type of consciousness to be able to take a form like this, and charged straight towards the tree! No dodging, no swift sudden movements. This was a straight path to the strongest attack Hydra could make! In response the [Mirror Tree] switched to a two-handed style as well and dove straight towards Hydra!
The two blurs clashed and even though one was not metal, sparks ignited around the impact area regardless! Hydra pushed down with all his force against the [Mirror Tree] and likewise it pushed down with all its strength.
Hydra groaned. He only now realized that his plan was a little flawed. He might be able to use his strength to overcome the [Mirror Tree] however the tree could do the same, and as he wouldn't tire Hydra could only rely on using his wits to overcome it. As Hydra he jumped backed gaining some room for himself he spoke out.
"Not bad, well let's start round two shall we?!"

1. Tennessee Titans -
Although the Titans officially divorced themselves from the troubled, but dynamic return man in Adam "Pacman" Jones, Tennessee still has the most well-rounded special teams unit in the division. Kicker Rob Bironas has as strong of a leg as anyone in the league, and is "straight cash (homey)" when the game is on the line. Punter Craig Hentrich is solid, but unspectacular, and the combination of Chris Davis, Michael Griffin, and Cortland Finnegan are solid in the return game. The Titans coverage units were good a year ago, and expect to be again in 2008.
Strengths: Rob Bironas is as good as it gets.
Limitations: Nobody that strikes fear into opposing coverage units, at least not yet.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars -
Jacksonville is very solid in each facet of their special teams. Kicker Josh Scobee had a good 2007 campaign, despite missing most of the first nine games of the year. Dennis Northcutt served as a sure-handed punt return man for the Jaguars, but he didn't break any for longer than 37 yards. Maurice Jones-Drew is one of the most explosive players in the NFL, and was amongst the league leaders in kickoff return average (26.2 ypr.). The Jaguars coverage units were one of the stingiest in the NFL a year ago, and the only weak spot of their special teams was rookie punter Adam Podlesh, who had one of the lowest gross averages in the league (41.6 ypp.).
Strengths: Maurice Jones-Drew plays huge in big games, and is a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball. Coverage units are very good.
Limitations: Punter Adam Podlesh was underwhelming as a rookie, and the Jaguars decision to use a fourth-round pick on him is questionable at this point in his career.
3. Houston Texans -
The Texans boast one of the finest return men in the league in Andre Davis, who averaged 30.3 yards per kickoff return, and took back three kicks to the house. Kicker Kris Brown has a very strong leg, and is one of the game's most consistent three-point men. Punt returner Jacoby Jones has explosive speed, as he averaged 9.5 ypr. a year ago. The Texans coverage units are a bit suspect, and their punter, veteran Matt Turk, has a below average leg.
Strengths: Andre Davis has explosive kickoff return ability, and Jacoby Jones is very good in the punt return game. When Kris Brown is on, he's one of the best.
Weaknesses: Punting game is suspect, as is their coverage.
4. Indianapolis Colts -
If the five-time reigning AFC South Champion Colts have a weakness, it is on their special teams. Kicker Adam Vinatieri is the star, as he is a sure-fire hall of famer, but Vinatieri had an off year (for his standards) in 2007, as he hit on just 23 of 29 kicks, with a long of only 39 yards. Punter Hunter Smith is very ordinary, despite benefiting from punting indoors for better than half of his games. Indianapolis doesn't have dangerous return men, as T.J. Rushing is the epitome of average. The Colts coverage units were bad a year ago, and don't have the appearance of being improved in 2008.
Strengths: Kicker Adam Vinatieri is as cool of a customer as there is under pressure.
Weaknesses: Everything other than Vinatieri.
