A 'prescient' warning to Boeing on 787 trouble
Boeing commercial airplanes chief Jim Albaugh had some unusually candid comments about the 787's global outsourcing strategy at a recent Seattle University talk.
Seattle Times business staff
In a late January appearance at Seattle University, Boeing Commercial Airplanes Chief Jim Albaugh talked about the lessons learned from the disastrous three years of delays on the 787 Dreamliner.
One bracing lesson that Albaugh was unusually candid about: the 787's global outsourcing strategy — specifically intended to slash Boeing's costs — backfired completely.
"We spent a lot more money in trying to recover than we ever would have spent if we'd tried to keep the key technologies closer to home," Albaugh told his large audience of students and faculty.
Boeing was forced to compensate, support or buy out the partners it brought in to share the cost of the new jet's development, and now bears the brunt of additional costs due to the delays.
Some Wall Street analysts estimate those added costs at between $12 billion and $18 billion, on top of the $5 billion Boeing originally planned to invest.
Interviewed after the Seattle U. talk, Albaugh avoided directly criticizing the decisions of his predecessors.
The 787 outsourcing strategy was put place in 2003 by then-Boeing Chairman Harry Stonecipher, who was ousted in 2005, and Commercial Airplanes Chief Alan Mulally, now chief executive at Ford.
"It's easy to look in the rear-view mirror and see things that could have been done differently," Albaugh said. "I wasn't sitting in the room and I don't know what they were facing."
And yet, at least one senior technical engineer within Boeing predicted the outcome of the extensive outsourcing strategy with remarkable foresight a decade ago.
Albaugh and other senior leaders within Boeing may be belatedly paying attention to a paper presented at an internal company symposium in 2001 by John Hart-Smith, a world-renowned airplane structures engineer.
Hart-Smith, who had worked for Douglas Aircraft and joined Boeing when it merged in 1997 with McDonnell Douglas, was one of the elite engineers designated within the company as Senior Technical Fellows.
His paper was a biting critique of excessive outsourcing, a warning to Boeing not to go down the path that had led Douglas Aircraft to virtual obsolescence by the mid-1990s.
The paper laid out the extreme risks of outsourcing core technology and predicted it would bring massive additional costs and require Boeing to buy out partners who could not perform.
Albaugh said in the interview that he read the paper six or seven years ago, and conceded that it had "a lot of good points" and was "pretty prescient."
In his talk at Seattle U., the first specific lesson Albaugh cited as learned from the 787 debacle seemed to echo Hart-Smith's paper.
Albaugh said that part of what had led Boeing astray was the chasing of a financial measure called RONA, for Return on Net Assets.
This is essentially a ratio of income to assets and one way to make that ratio bigger is to reduce your assets. The drive to increase RONA thus spurred a push within Boeing to do less work in-house — hence reducing assets in the form of facilities and employees — and have others do the work.
Hart-Smith argued that it was wrong to use that financial measure as a gauge of performance and that outsourcing would only slash profits and hollow out the company.
Reached by phone in his native Australia, where at 70 he is now retired, Hart-Smith said he'd heard in recent months on the grapevine from former colleagues that senior executives at Boeing Commercial Airplanes have been reading his paper.
"I'm glad they got the message," Hart-Smith said. "It took far too long."
After he presented his paper at a company symposium in 2001, he received hundreds of supportive e-mails from engineers and lower-level managers, he said.
But a senior executive present at the symposium spent a half-hour after his presentation attacking the paper, and afterward Boeing leadership ignored Hart-Smith.
He had hoped to join the 787 program but wasn't permitted to do so. He felt sidelined, he said.
In Hart-Smith's analysis, the seeds of Boeing's outsourcing ideas grew out of the McDonnell aircraft business, which focused on military-airplane programs. On the military side of the business, the U.S. government was the major, often the only, customer and it funded development costs in full.
"The military approach didn't require you to risk your own money," Hart-Smith said. "That was the McDonnell Douglas mentality."
He blamed that attitude for the major outsourcing on the MD-95 and proposed MD-12 programs, the failure of which led to the decline of Douglas' commercial-airplane business in California.
The same ideas were transferred to Boeing with the McDonnell Douglas merger and led directly to the 787 outsourcing strategy, he said.
Taken to its extreme conclusion, Hart-Smith said mockingly, the strategy of maximizing return on net assets could lead Boeing to outsource everything except a little Boeing decal to slap on the nose of the finished airplane.
Though most of the profits would be outsourced to suppliers along with all the work, and all the company's expertise would wither away, the return on investment in a 25-cent decal could be 5,000 percent.
Has Boeing belatedly seen the light and embraced Hart-Smith's analysis?
Clearly the 787 has brought a serious rethink at the top.
"We went too much with outsourcing," Albaugh said in the interview. "Now we need to bring it back to a more prudent level."
That likely includes building the horizontal tails of the next version of the Dreamliner, the 787-9, in the Seattle area. And for the next all-new airplane that Boeing will build, Albaugh vows that "we can do things differently and better."
"Doing the new airplane the way we did this one is not what we want to do."
But the rethink may not be as radical as Hart-Smith would like.
In his paper he wrote that while some selective outsourcing is necessary, Boeing should keep most of the work it has traditionally done in-house.
Albaugh balked at going that far.
"I haven't said keep most of the work in-house," Albaugh said. "I still believe we need to make sure we try to access the best technologies and capabilities that are available around the world."
And despite what Hart-Smith has heard on the grapevine, no one from Boeing's leadership has actually called him up to talk about his analysis.
Hart-Smith retired from Boeing in 2008. He still presents engineering papers at academic conferences around the world.
Yet that startlingly prescient 2001 paper focused on business economics. Where did a structures engineer get that kind of expertise?
"It's common sense," Hart-Smith said.

Do you remember the Golf Sportsvan Concept Volkswagen unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show ? Well, today it's time to finally see the production version of this new model out for a test in blustery, winter conditions.
To no surprise, the production version looks nearly identical to the concept , with the only noticeable difference being the slightly revised fog lights on the production version.
The new Golf Sportvan will ride on a wheelbase with about 1.96 inches longer than the standard Golf and the body is about 0.3 inches wider. The most obvious of differences between the Golf and this Sportsvan is that it is taller than the standard Golf.
The new model will come as a replacement for the old Golf Plus, and VW built it as a combination between a minivan and a hatchback. Its demographic is younger families who like the roomier interior, but still prefer the compact size on the outside.
Expect the new Volkswagen Golf Sportvan to be unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show , with the first deliveries starting in mid 2014.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I hate writing these things, so here's a link to my most recent and upcoming talks and below is a not very- recent conference bio. The biggest tweak I need to make is adding my short Visiting Research Fellowship with the CENDARI project at Trinity College Dublin later this year.
Mia is currently researching a PhD in digital humanities (Department of History, Open University), focusing on historians and scholarly crowdsourcing. Mia has published and presented widely on her key areas of interest including: user experience design, human-computer interaction, open cultural data, audience engagement and crowdsourcing in the cultural heritage sector.
Mia has had residencies at the Powerhouse Museum (Sydney) and the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum (New York) and two short Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the Polis Center Institute on 'Spatial Narrative and Deep Maps: Explorations in the Spatial Humanities' (Indianapolis) and the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media's One Week | One Tool institute (Fairfax, Virginia), where she helped create Serendip-o-matic. Mia is also known for her work on museum metadata games. Formerly Lead Web Developer at the Science Museum Group, Mia has worked internationally as a business analyst, digital consultant and web programmer in the cultural heritage and commercial sectors. Mia has post-graduate qualifications in software development (RMIT University, Melbourne, 2001) and an MSc in Human-Centred Systems (City University, London, 2011). She is Chair of the Museums Computer Group (MCG) and a member of the Executive Council of the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH). Editor of the forthcoming volume 'Crowdsourcing our Cultural Heritage' (Ashgate, forthcoming 2014), she tweets at http://twitter.com/mia_out and blogs at http://openobjects.blogspot.com/
If I'm presenting at your event, please feel free to use a version of this bio. An photo of me suitable for programmes is here or there's a photo from the GLAM-Wiki conference here.
For my PhD, I'm interested in the impact of digitality on scholarly practice, and am investigating this through historical and location-based resources co-created by online participants.
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, I now live in Oxford (via Amsterdam and London). I started as a Arts student, played around in multimedia, and eventually graduated as a software engineer. After working as a museum technologist for over a decade, I'm back in a Faculty of Arts.
In 2011 I was elected as Chair of the Museums Computer Group, having served as a Committee Member since 2007. In January 2013 I was elected to serve on the Executive Council of the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) for the 2013-2016 term. I'm a member of various conference Programme Committees (Museums and the Web, Museum Computer Network) and academic project Steering Groups (Commodity Histories, Social Interpretation). I was also a member of the Arts and Humanities Research Council funded Thinktank 'UK Museums and the Semantic Web' in 2006/7 and of JISC's 'Developer Focus' group that works with their DevCSI project to improve the developer community in higher education.

A word to the wise (which wasn't what I was some years ago in Paris). Never be in a hurry when using foreign ATM machines especially if you are not used to even using them in the US. I was in a hurry to get $400.00 extra dollars in francs but accidently hit just one extra zero. It came out $4,000.00 and I could not stop it!! I ended up with all these extra francs a day before we were due to return home and I did not want to bring all that foreign money home. We spent the day running to every exchange we could find to get the best rate and had to do a currancy exchange. I lost big that day because I got a lot less back in dollars than I thought I would. But at least I didn't have to return home with a purse full of francs! I have never used another ATM "any place" even in the US since that day. I had nightmares of "zeros" for months after that experience. A nervous finger and an ATM machine in a foreign country do not make a good mix.

Not all bedtime monsters are your worst nightmare!
A first submission anywhere is always nerve-racking haha...
Anyway this is an animation I created as a final piece for college! It took around 5 weeks, I had to make a multimedia outcome so I decided to do a trailer/opening sort of thing haha. this is my second stab at doing some 2d animation so this was one hell of a challenge, it was also my first time working with toonboom so I learnt loads from this project.
I have to apologise for the quality dulling at the end, but with a 20mb limit and exporting from toonboom as an flv, some of the sharp quality was lost ):
I'm starting Uni this september to learn character animation so if you have any constructive crit about the animation or how I can improve in general- fire away!
For anyone who would like to see the hd version in muuuuch much better quality, it's up on my youtube :) http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=IFnqsQQE4g8
If the youtube link doesnt work I apologise! It looks like newgrounds is automatically breaking it
Excellent story and the frame by frame animation style is very fitting; I like it alot, keep on producing!
Reminded me of both Monsters Inc. and Where the Wild Things Are. Very nice animation. While I don't necessarily agree with previous commenters' opinions that the lyrical music was a bad choice (Owl City has good music for these kinds of fantasy settings IMO), I think it would also be great to use music that does not have lyrics. There is undoubtedly an abundance of musical material to peruse and choose. I'd love to see your animation style with a different setting or story. It's very pleasing to the eyes.
Aw, really cute and aventurous! I'm excited to see more. ^^
For a second try, this is really something, especially for frame by frame! You have a distinctive style and cute characters that work really well in motion, knitted together into a in interesting story of what I can only describe as dreams vs nightmares. Castello and the shadow monsters in particular all have really interesting designs, and the attention to detail to backgrounds and special effects are top notch and really adds depth to the film.
Overall great short animation which really suits the Owl City track that you chose for it, I hope to see more from you!
I thought it was really good, and could potentially be expanded on for a story. I also liked the song. All in all I liked it. Keep 'em coming.

Chris Grachanen: A rock star in quality
On November 25, 2013, Chris Grachanen, Master Engineer at Hewlett-Packard, was elected a fellow of the American Society of Quality. Many of you know of Chris through his technical articles and blog here at EDN and prior to that, on Test & Measurement World. In fact, Chris was the winner of Test & Measurement World's Test Engineer of the Year award in 2004. See Calibration's standard bearer. I've known Chris for years and he always tops my list of people to ask about anything related to calibration and metrology. It's been ten years since Chris won the Test Engineer of the Year Award and this year, he nominated an HP colleague for the same award.
To find out what it takes to become an ASQ fellow, I spoke to Chris by phone at his office in Houston, Tex.
Martin Rowe: What does it take to become an ASQ fellow?
Chris Grachanen: First of all, there's an application form and it's a lot of work. Measurement Consultant Dilip Shah, who is also an ASQ fellow, walked me through the process.
The evaluation consists of six parts. The most stringent part requires proof that you developed something unique. That is, you can't just develop something that's a twist on an existing process or device. Your development must truly be unique. You are graded on that development.
Martin Rowe: What did you develop?
Chris Grachanen: Early in my career, I developed a technique using trigonometry in the calibration of a triangular laser system. I've also developed software for calculating measurement uncertainty, but that used existing algorithms, which wouldn't have qualified me to become an ASQ fellow.
In addition to creating something unique, you must have at least two people who have attained Senior or Fellow status within ASQ to "speak up" for you. People of Senior status must have held that position for at least five years.
Martin Rowe: What else were important aspects of your application?
Chris Grachanen: The ASQ evaluators also look at your complete body of work. I had to include every article I'd ever written as part of the application. In addition, you have to show other substantial contributions. In my case, that included creation of the Certified Calibration Technician program at ASQ. I also wrote chapters for The Metrology Handbook. ASQ also considers presentations given in other quality forums such as at the NCSLI Conference.
Martin Rowe: When did you submit the application?
Chris Grachanen: I submitted the application in March 2013 and the ASQ Board of Directors voted in November. ASQ has some 108,000 members, of which about 600 are fellows. I'm the only ASQ fellow employed by HP, so the company put my smiling face on the internal web site. People came to me out of nowhere to congratulate me. Frankly, the notoriety made me a little uncomfortable. People were looking at me in the company cafeteria as though I was a celebrity. At first, I didn't know why there are looking at me until I saw the story on HP's internal web site.

thats all i got thus far cuz thoughs are hops i had handy and just read it right off the bag hope that helps
I love this beer, but I read that recipe and I would love to know what the brewer feels he gets from 4 different hop additions at 60 mins and 3 different ones at 30. Just seems too complex for no reason at all.
Just drank a 22 of Sculpin IPA last night and it was delicious. I may have discovered my next recipe to brew.
seems pretty high IBU with few late additions - as I recall the BYO recipe for Racer 5 was similar timing for their hop schedule as well
very curious to hear some feedback after someone brews this - thanks for sharing
im bottling Wednesday
Just brewed a batch based off of this recipe last night. Currently it is bubbling like mad and leaving a nice alcohol smell in the room. I went with:
6# extra light dme
1# caravienna
7 oz maltadextrin
Boil 60 min:
.5 oz warrior
.5 oz magnum
.5 oz Columbus
Boil 30:
1 oz centennial
1 oz amarilo
I pitched with Nottingham.
cool but are u now dry hopping? and u didnt use simcoe?

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $500K in Hillsborough, NC.
Sharon sold our home relatively quickly in a challenging market. She impressed us with her industry knowledge and professionalism, balanced well with her kindness and easy- going manner. She had a creative and focused plan to sell our home, which she did within the time period and price range she predicted. Throughout each step of the process Sharon was very responsive. We felt we were in excellent hands with Sharon as our agent and we would highly recommend her to others!

Showed home in 2013 in Plantation Acres, Carrboro, NC 27510.
I wasn't even considering buying until I saw a listing for a condo that I absolutely loved. I was hesitant because I've heard agents can be aggressive and pushy, but I contacted all three agents who were listed as available to show the condo. Two responded saying it wasn't available anymore, but Sharon went the extra mile. She did some digging and discovered that while the listing had expired, the condo was still available. Sharon was very flexible in working around my schedule and we met shortly after her initial phone call to view the condo. I'm still not sure if I'm going to buy now or continue to rent for another year, but I am highly likely to recommend Sharon to anyone interested in buying. She is so knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and honest. She wasn't aggressive or pushy with me at all--she provided me with information about buying because she knew I would be a first-time buyer. She has completely changed my impression of agents and I know I will contact her when I'm ready to buy.

Sold a home in 2012.
I was lucky enough to sell and house and buy a house with Sharon Clarke.
While I was looking at houses she was patient and continued to show me house after house I think I saw probably about 25 houses total. When I found the one I wanted she took charge and made sure all went smoothly.
Sharon advised me how to best present my house I was selling. She held an open house and we found a buyer. Sharon was available to represent me while I was at work for the closing.
All went so smoothly and effortlessly I would highly recommend Sharon Clarke.

Sold a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $425K in Pittsboro, NC.
Sharon was energetic, insightful, and very professional. She guided us through the process of getting our home ready to sell, putting it on the market, and selling it. She was very helpful with the due diligence and repairs; she lined up everything for us. Most importantly, she listened to us and was patient and understanding with our concerns. She got the job done! We recommend her highly to anyone looking to sell their home.

Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $250K in Chapel Hill, NC.
I found Sharon in Zillow.com. After reading some reviews I called her and we met the next day. Sharon showed me many properties in three months. It seemed that she was never tired, always smile, patient and very professional. She was not pushy even at one point I had to turn down a contract 2 days before it expired. She respected my choice and waited for my readiness for another round of hunting. She helped me find the house which is most suitable for me in every aspect the end of December 2013! Her very efficient, knowledgeable office manager Kelly's helping with expedited paper work through out the entire process which added a big plus.I'm very happy to have a great agent like Sharon!

Bought a home in 2013.
We were between having sold a home (thanks to Sharon) and downsizing into another one with not much time for the transition. Sharon smoothly facilitated that whole purchase process for us so that we didn't have to temporarily move to another location in the interim.

Sold a Townhouse home in 2013 for approximately $325K in Cary, NC.
Sharon helped me with the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. She was very helpful. She provided advice on all topics and is always responsive. She went the extra mile in giving me staging advice and told me what was important to buyers and what I could leave. This was the first time I was selling a home and she walked me through every legal step carefully. We closed on both properties (the sale and purchase) without a single hitch. She is a great Realtor and I would work with her anytime and recommend her to anyone.

Sold a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $375K in Pittsboro, NC.
We had previously had our house on the market with another realtor and have few showings. We decided to put our house on the market once again and chose Sharon Clarke as our realtor. She was very attentive to what we wanted and had great suggestions on how to sell our house. After six weeks, our house was sold! She was aggressive and always available.

Bought a home in 2013.
Sharon initially helped us buy (and later sell) a 1 acre vacant lot in North Raleigh, and finally a home in Apex. It seemed our search criteria changed weekly as we initially intended to accommodate in-laws, then build.. then buy. We knew from the beginning that she was genuinely focused on helping us find what we wanted, was always response and available, and gave critical advice on properties that weren't in our best interests. We consider Sharon a trusted friend and give our highest recommendations.

Bought a home in 2013.
Sharon was a phenomenal asset and guide throughout the process of home buying. This was my first home purchase and she patiently explained the intricacies and nuances of each step of the process and spent a lot of time strategizing with me. Her knowledge of the process of home purchasing and willingness to explore all options with me made the experience ultimately a very positive one. I'm thrilled with my home and the process of the transaction and Sharon played an instrumental role in al that. I would (and have) wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

Republic Services Inc. announced the deployment of 107 compressed natural gas solid waste and recycling trucks to serve customers in Anaheim and throughout Orange County. The new CNG fleet replaced older diesel and liquid natural gas powered trucks.Republic installed a natural gas fueling station to support its new fleet of CNG powered trucks in Anaheim. Natural gas fueling stations enable CNG trucks to fuel during non-peak hours, which has the added benefit of reduced energy consumption during the refueling process. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, each new CNG solid waste and recycling truck reduces ozone-forming emissions by as much as 80% when compared to older diesel powered trucks. In addition, each new CNG truck deployed is equivalent to removing five passenger vehicles from local roads for one year, or to adding 600 mature trees into the local environment.Republic operates a fleet of more than 1,400 CNG vehicles and 26 natural gas fueling stations nationwide. Approximately 50% of all Republic vehicles purchased in 2013 are powered by the domestic fuel source.Republic Services employs more than 300 team members at its Anaheim division, and serves more than 180,000 residential and 13,000 commercial customers in Orange County.

Pfeiffer University News
Pfeiffer Jazz Ensemble to perform with musician Russ Wilson in concert March 1
- Details
- Published on Monday, February 14, 2011 ( 12:52 pm )
The Pfeiffer University Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of faculty Jazz Instructor Rusty Smith, will present a concert of 'early jazz' at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1 in the Henry Pfeiffer Chapel on the Misenheimer campus. The concert will feature guest artist Russ Wilson, a drummer, bandleader, and specialist in early jazz history and performance. The concert is free and open to the public.
The Pfeiffer Jazz Ensemble will feature classics of early jazz, including "Jive at 5†by Count Basie, "Basin St. Blues†by Spencer Williams, "Harlem Nocturne†by Earle Hagen, and Glenn Miller's "American Patrol†among others. Rounding out the program will be "Mood Indigo†by Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman's "Stompin' at the Savoy†featuring on clarinet David Kirby, associate professor of music at Pfeiffer.
Wilson will be in residence that week at Pfeiffer, working with students on the history and styles of early jazz and swing. A Hendersonville, N.C. native, Wilson has been working as a professional musician for almost 30 years. He has shared the stage with jazz and popular artists such as Lightnin' Wells, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmy Thackery, Candye Kane, and several others. He has worked on 30 albums, seven of them his own solo projects, and has appeared on numerous television shows and in the Martin Scorsese film "The Road to Memphis.â€
Wilson has performed in many musical genres, but vintage jazz and swing remain his first love. He is the leader of the 14-piece Nouveau-Passé Orchestra, the only big band in North Carolina faithfully recreating the music of the 20's and 30's.
An avid collector, Wilson has amassed an archive of more than 3,500 pieces that include records, orchestrations, sheet music and memorabilia. Wilson runs his own music business, The Wilson Music Company, which provides bands and musicians for public and private functions throughout North Carolina.

Quite a bit of my senior year in high school is now a blur. Struggling with suicidal thoughts for most of high school, my parents finally prompted me to seek counseling and psychiatric help after a good friend took his own life my junior year. The next year was spent in a fog as doctors paraded medication after medication in front of me, searching for something to fill the void. Instead I found ...
Beginning this weekend, we will turn our attention as a church body to the book of Acts. As we enter into the series, I wanted to address our purpose in studying it, and to pass on to you some tools to help leverage the time we will give to learning and applying the story of the early Church.
Interpreting Scripture is no simple thing, and many of us fall prey to nine common mistakes. If you want to interpret the Bible incorrectly, just make sure you do one of the following...
This fall, we spent several weeks in our Recovering Redemption series examining the roots of sin and idolatry and the surpassing hope of the gospel. Through the proclamation of His Word, God saves men and women and begins the work of sanctification in our lives. He helps us to see our sin, empowering us to find freedom from it and to pursue godliness as He conforms us to the image of Christ.
It's a fact of the faithful life that gospel people say goodbye, trading the familiar for the unknown as the Lord leads. But not all of us are headed for the ends of the earth.
It's not uncommon to hear a Christian couple say that they've "talked about adoption." There's a good chance that you, at some point or another, have considered what it might look like for you to adopt a child. There are many of us who "talk about it," but we may not know how to take it beyond talk.
We Americans are a warlike people, always ready to take up arms, and the "culture wars" have put us all on high alert. While the urgency surrounding many cultural issues fails to live up to the alarmist rhetoric, abortion is, in fact, an immediate crisis. The fight for the unborn is the good fight. I wonder, however, if we've got the true enemy in our sights. There may be a common ...

GRAHAM CARTER: I don't go on holiday to be told to wear a tie
10:01am Monday 24th March 2014 in Adver Columnists By Graham Carter
IT WAS Samuel Johnson who said that when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.
He was right, but I don't recall him having anything to say about getting to the age when London tires you out.
Last week we had a short, so-called break in the capital and came home, three days later, feeling (if you will pardon my French) absolutely knackered.
We were celebrating my wife's 51st birthday, and we flitted all over the place, including to street markets, St Paul's Cathedral and other touristy locations.
We learned quite a few things, as you always do when you go to London, but this time the main message we were picking up is we may be getting too old for this kind of thing.
As if feeling so drained wasn't bad enough, to add insult to injury I looked around the pub we were in on Thursday evening and realised we were the oldest people in the whole place. It was the same on Friday.
Part of the problem with Carters on tour is we never know when to stop. I have spent less time lying on beaches in my whole life than some people do in a day, so it's safe to say I am not a person for sitting still.
And so it was in London, where we were not only forever hopping on the Tube, but often walked to avoid the crowds or the inconvenience of switching lines.
But just how long can my body in general and my feet in particular stand up to this battering?
As I approach my 53rd birthday, I am now almost three years past the time when I qualified for special consideration by Saga, the old people's holiday company, and while I haven't succumbed to them yet, the week it has taken me to recover from our little 'break' means Saga is calling louder than ever. How much longer can we resist?
Well, one thing we do like when we're away is not being bound by other people's itineraries, so we aren't about to sign up for their guided walks with oldies in the Andes.
However, the other type of holiday that springs to mind for Saga types is now being openly discussed under our roof.
That's right – I am coming under increasing pressure from my wife to consider going on some kind of cruise.
My biggest argument against them has always been that cruises are inevitably on ships, and I have noticed, after studying them over a long period of time, that ships have an annoying tendency to sink.
This is especially unappealing to somebody like me who hates water and can't swim, although the point about sinking ocean liners is it usually doesn't matter whether you can swim or not – because it's a long way.
Like drowning, another thing I am averse to, being naturally scruffy, is dressing up, so whereas some people seem to revel in going on a cruise so they can smarten up and have dinner at the captain's table, I don't go on holiday to be told to wear a tie.
The only upsides I can see is the food is 'all you can eat' (the best kind) and being cooped up on board does force you to put your feet up – at least until you reach the next port.
Not that I really have much say in these things in the long run. My wife has a stack of brochures with boats on the front and I'm getting that sinking feeling again.

Craig Copetas
Klaus Schwab tried to warn them, but the CEOs wouldn't listen, said Craig Copetas. Schwab is the chief organizer of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where the global business elite gathers each year to think big thoughts, schmooze, and make deals. In recent years, Schwab tried to engage delegates on questions of "asset-price bubbles in housing, stocks, and other financial instruments." But when he raised those issues, Schwab says, delegates "treated him like 'Cassandra.'" Having paid up to $750,000 to attend, they figured they could set their own agenda. Schwab eventually resorted to attention-getting "stunts," such as the 2004 panel that asked "whether extraterrestrials had taken control of Wall Street." More serious panels focused on the U.S. housing market and the "cascading loss of confidence" that threatened financial markets. But the CEOs preferred "racing Audis on the ice of a nearby lake and attending snow-polo matches." It was, says Schwab, "denial, total psychological denial." You would think next year's conference will be much more sober. But British hedge fund manager William Browder, a Davos regular, is skeptical. "Moderation," he says, "is something the private sector doesn't do very well."

Many farmers are itching to get into their fields, but those fields are just too wet and muddy right now.
The cows are enjoying it, but all the standing water isn't making it easy for farmers to do their jobs.
You'll find lots of wet fields in Mitchell County and all over south Georgia.
Farm equipment remains parked until the ground dries out enough for farmers to crank up their tractors again.
"It's come really in three massive rain events. We had one the last of March, April and then one this past Friday," says Calvin Perry, Superintendent of C.M. Stripling Irrigation Research Park.
Perry says right now farmers are in a holding pattern, which he says is unusual for this time of year.
"We usually don't get this much in this few rain events. If we get rain its usually lighter amounts spread out," says Perry.
Perry says the recent heavy rains could affect this year's corn crop. Anyone who hasn't planted corn yet is probably abandoning acres, and rain predicted for Tuesday isn't improving the situation.
"I think there's a real possibility that our corn total yield is going to be off, gonna be lower in terms of total bushels that we produce. Hopefully the rest of the year will be good."
The ground is still moist from last week's rain, in fact Mitchell county has gotten 10 inches of rain in the last month.
"This pivot behind me was in about a foot of water on Friday, it's a low spot in the field," he says.
But despite challenges Perry says farmers always adapt.
"Like most years the rain will be forgotten in a few months and will be in the middle of the summer irrigating crops."
He says many farmers will probably shift to planting more cotton, peanuts or soybeans.
This month is the fourth wettest April with a little over 9 and a half inches measured at WALB.

Automatic Transmission problems of the 2000 Volkswagen Beetle
Five problems associated with automatic transmission have been reported for the 2000 Volkswagen Beetle.
Automatic Transmission problem #1
The vehicle is a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of this Volkswagen Beetle is 3VWCC21C1Y_. Vehicle has experienced several problems with the engine and transmission. Consumer was informed that there was an internal problem with automatic transmission which required that transmission be replaced. Also, dealership has informed consumer that head gasket and control valve for the engine were defective. Note: dealership has been in possession of the vehicle for approximately 30 days. The failure date was Apr. 4, 2001.
Automatic Transmission problem #2
The vehicle involved was a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle. While driving transmission will get stuck without a prior warning. Sometimes will switch into neutral. Vehicle will had to be towed. Please provide more information. It was Thursday, July 26, 2001 when this automatic transmission issue happened.
Automatic Transmission problem #3
The car was a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle. The VIN of the car is 3VWCC21C6Y_. Consumer stated that vehicle got stuck in park, and would not move. Consumer called the dealer, and they told her that she needed to take her vehicle to a Volkswagen dealer. Consumer just bought the vehicle in January 2004, and did not take it to a repair shop. However, consumer felt there was a transmission problem. The failure date was Friday, May 21, 2004.
Automatic Transmission problem #4
The car involved is a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle. The VIN of the problem Beetle is 3VWCA21C1Y_. I received a recall about my back or break light. Made an apt. With heritage vw in georgia. I drove from leesburg al. To the dealership. They change the light and told me a belt has to be replaced. I know nothing needs replacement because my son ( a mechanic ) does all the maintenance in my vw. I told the them I will talk to my son and will get back with them. I had a hard time staring the car, but did not pay any attention because I was in a hurry to get out of there. I was on hwy 20 when every thing went crazy with my car. Lost my cruise control, lost power, won't start. So I called heritage and ask what they did with the car. They want me to bring it back to them, knowing it can't be driven. I feel they sabotage my car, they messed up my car so much, I paid over $3000. 00 for it to work. I kept the receipt just in case I might need it as proof. I received another recall last week it's hard to get burnt twice in a row. This issue happened on Sat., Jul. 12, 2008.
Automatic Transmission problem #5
The car involved was a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle. I am having transmission problems on my 2000 Beetle. I was told the transmission does not need replaced but I feel otherwise. When I am driving my vehicle will pull back very hard and then jump and shoot me forward. I am afraid that this will cause a bad accident. It was 09/22/2010 when this automatic transmission issue occurred.

The river I have under my tongue,
Unimaginable water, my little boat,
And curtains lowered, let's speak.
Stand close around, ye Stygian set,
With Dirce in one boat conveyed,
Or Charon, seeing, may forget
That he is old and she a shade.
There was an Old Man in a boat,Who said, "I'm afloat! I'm afloat!"When they said, "No, you ain't!" he was ready to faint,That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
Dance to your daddie,My bonnie laddie;Dance to your daddie, my bonnie lamb;You shall get a fishy,On a little dishy;You shall get a fishy, when the boat comes home.
From the walls of Baidi high in the coloured dawn
To Jiangling by night-fall is three hundred miles,
Yet monkeys are still calling on both banks behind me
To my boat these ten thousand mountains away.
From the walls of Baidi high in the coloured dawn
To Jiangling by night-fall is three hundred miles,
Yet monkeys are still calling on both banks behind me
To my boat these ten thousand mountains away.
DESOLATE and lone
All night long on the lake
Where fog trails and mist creeps,
The whistle of a boat
Calls and cries unendingly,
Like some lost child
In tears and trouble
Hunting the harbor's breast
And the harbor's eyes.
White King City I left at dawn
in the morning-glow of the clouds;
The thousand miles to Chiang-ling
we sailed in a single day.
On either shore the gibbons' chatter
sounded without pause
While my light boat skimmed past
ten thousand sombre crags.
'Twas such a little -- little boat
That toddled down the bay!
'Twas such a gallant -- gallant sea
That beckoned it away!
'Twas such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the Coast --
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost!
She staked her Feathers -- Gained an Arc --
Debated -- Rose again --
This time -- beyond the estimate
Of Envy, or of Men --
And now, among Circumference --
Her steady Boat be seen --
At home -- among the Billows -- As
The Bough where she was born --
WHAT ship, puzzled at sea, cons for the true reckoning?
Or, coming in, to avoid the bars, and follow the channel, a perfect pilot needs?
Here, sailor! Here, ship! take aboard the most perfect pilot,
Whom, in a little boat, putting off, and rowing, I, hailing you, offer.
Light boat south hill go
North hill vast expanse hard reach
Separate bank see person home
Long way off not recognise
A light boat sets off from the southern hill,
The north is hard to reach across the vastness.
On the other bank, I look for my home,
It cannot be recognised so far off.
After rain the empty mountain
Stands autumnal in the evening,
Moonlight in its groves of pine,
Stones of crystal in its brooks.
Bamboos whisper of washer-girls bound home,
Lotus-leaves yield before a fisher-boat --
And what does it matter that springtime has gone,
While you are here, O Prince of Friends?
A lake and a fairy boat
To sail in the moonlight clear, -
And merrily we would float
From the dragons that watch us here!
Thy gown should be snow-white silk
And strings of oriental pearls,
Like gossamers dipped in milk,
Should twine with thy raven curls!
Red rubies should deck thy hands,
And diamonds should be thy dower -
But fairies have broke their wands,
And wishing has lost its power!
On the breakwater in the summer dark, a man and a
girl are sitting,
She across his knee and they are looking face into face
Talking to each other without words, singing rythms in
silence to each other.
A funnel of white ranges the blue dusk from an out-
going boat,
Playing its searchlight, puzzled, abrupt, over a streak of
And two on the breakwater keep their silence, she on his
Adrift! A little boat adrift!
And night is coming down!
Will no one guide a little boat
Unto the nearest town?
So Sailors say -- on yesterday --
Just as the dusk was brown
One little boat gave up its strife
And gurgled down and down.
So angels say -- on yesterday --
Just as the dawn was red
One little boat -- o'erspent with gales --
Retrimmed its masts -- redecked its sails --
And shot -- exultant on!
The sea is flecked with bars of grey,
The dull dead wind is out of tune,
And like a withered leaf the moon
Is blown across the stormy bay.
Etched clear upon the pallid sand
Lies the black boat: a sailor boy
Clambers aboard in careless joy
With laughing face and gleaming hand.
And overhead the curlews cry,
Where through the dusky upland grass
The young brown-throated reapers pass,
Like silhouettes against the sky.
Now wind torments the field,
turning the white surface back
on itself, back and back on itself,
like an animal licking a wound.
Nothing but white--the air, the light;
only one brown milkweed pod
bobbing in the gully, smallest
brown boat on the immense tide.
A single green sprouting thing
would restore me. . . .
Then think of the tall delphinium,
swaying, or the bee when it comes
to the tongue of the burgundy lily.
GIVE a man a horse he can ride,
Give a man a boat he can sail;
And his rank and wealth, his strength and health,
On sea nor shore shall fail.
Give a man a pipe he can smoke,
Give a man a book he can read:
And his home is bright with a calm delight,
Though the room be poor indeed.
Give a man a girl he can love,
As I, O my love, love thee;
And his heart is great with the pulse of Fate,
At home, on land, on sea.
Long after you have swung back
away from me
I think you are still with me:
you come in close to the shore
on the tide
and nudge me awake the way
a boat adrift nudges the pier:
am I a pier
half-in half-out of the water?
and in the pleasure of that communion
I lose track,
the moon I watch goes down, the
tide swings you away before
I know I'm
alone again long since,
mud sucking at gray and black
timbers of me,
a light growth of green dreams drying.
You are the roast beef I have purchased
and I stuff you with my very own onion.
You are a boat I have rented by the hour
and I steer you with my rage until you run aground.
You are a glass that I have paid to shatter
and I swallow the pieces down with my spit.
You are the grate I warm my trembling hands on,
searing the flesh until it's nice and juicy.
You stink like my Mama under your bra
and I vomit into your hand like a jackpot
its cold hard quarters.
I must launch out my boat.
The languid hours pass by on the
shore---Alas for me!
The spring has done its flowering and taken leave.
And now with the burden of faded futile flowers I wait and linger.
The waves have become clamorous, and upon the bank in the shady lane
the yellow leaves flutter and fall.
What emptiness do you gaze upon!
Do you not feel a thrill passing through the air
with the notes of the far-away song
floating from the other shore?
'What do you make so fair and bright?'
'I make the cloak of Sorrow:
O lovely to see in all men's sight
Shall be the cloak of Sorrow,
In all men's sight.'
'What do you build with sails for flight?'
'I build a boat for Sorrow:
O swift on the seas all day and night
Saileth the rover Sorrow,
All day and night.'
What do you weave with wool so white?'
'I weave the shoes of Sorrow:
Soundless shall be the footfall light
In all men's ears of Sorrow,
Sudden and light.'
UP wi' the carls o' Dysart,
And the lads o' Buckhaven,
And the kimmers o' Largo,
And the lasses o' Leven.
Chorus.—Hey, ca' thro', ca' thro',
For we hae muckle ado.
Hey, ca' thro', ca' thro',
For we hae muckle ado;
We hae tales to tell,
An' we hae sangs to sing;
We hae pennies tae spend,
An' we hae pints to bring.
Hey, ca' thro', &c.
We'll live a' our days,
And them that comes behin',
Let them do the like,
An' spend the gear they win.
Hey, ca' thro', &c.

In J. R. R. Tolkien's book The Hobbit, the wizard Gandalf explains why he has selected a small hobbit like Bilbo to accompany the dwarves to fight the enemy. He says, "Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."Read More »
Pete Peterson's first contact with Vietnam was in the Vietnam War. During a bombing raid in 1966, his plane was shot down and he was taken prisoner. Over 30 years later he returned as US Ambassador to Vietnam. One press article called him "a walking billboard for reconciliation." He realized years ago that God had not saved his life for him to live in anger. Because he believed this, he used the rest of his life and his position to make a difference by pushing for better safety standards for children in Vietnam.Read More »

In William Zinsser's book On Writing Well, he says that many writers suffer from "the tyranny of the final product." They are so concerned with selling their article or book, they neglect learning the process of how to think, plan, and organize.

After cruising each other outside their rooms, hirsute Dane Hyde is overwhelmed by Michael Lucass body and slurps on his uncut cock for all in the hotel to see. They move into a room for privacy and continue to disrobe. While getting his hooded meat sucked off, Michael leans over and sniffs Danes bushy pits and fondles his cock. The dick licking continues, and Dane then tongues Michaels behind. But Michaels rock hard manhood goes directly into Danes butt. Dane willingly opens wide and takes it from behind and on his back. Michael licks the soles of Danes feet, and Dane loses his nut all over his hairy body. Michael finishes the scene by lapping at Danes furry hole and then having his toes and armpits serviced, ejaculating across Danes big buns!
