Does Romans 6:23 refer to spiritual death or physical death?
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom. 6:23).
This verse can be interpreted to mean both spiritual and physical death. However, notice that it speaks of death and life. It says that "the wages of sin is death" and then speaks of "eternal life." Eternal life means that a person has a saving relationship with God and will not face eternal damnation. Consider what Jesus said in Matt. 25:46, "And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Also John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." In these two verses, along with many others, eternal life is contrasted with eternal punishment and perishing. Therefore, it would seem that the primary meaning of the text would be that the phrase "the wages of sin is death" is referring to spiritual death which would be eternal separation from God, damnation.
However, we also know that sin has brought physical death into the world. When Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit, they eventually died physically. Sin, which is breaking the law of God (1 John 3:4), brings both physical (Rom. 5:12) and spiritual death (Isaiah 59:2). So, Romans 6:23 can legitimately be interpreted to include both spiritual and physical death when it speaks of "the wages of sin."

Do we need one?
January 26, 2013 by admin · Leave a Comment
Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel
My husband and I are having a long argument about whether or not we need a real estate agent to find a new home. We've loved living in this house but we're both wondering whether or not it's worth the hassle to find an agent. We also think we may be able to buy a house we found ourselves and save a little money by angling to the seller that they won't have to pay our agent – it's like their 3% will go right in our pockets. But at the end of the day I'm the one saying we do need an agent. I really want someone to help walk us through the process and the agent we worked with to find this place was so wonderful – I really wish she hadn't moved! She told us about ElectricityCompaniesinDallas.com and about the septic system requirements and even helped us look up the school district we'd be in even though we didn't have any kids. I just think you get what you pay for in this day and age and I like the idea of paying for someone's expertise. My mom is a receptionist at a real estate attorney's office and she tells me all these horror stories about people who come in needing a lawyer because they got caught up in some scam that they never would have fallen for if they'd had an agent representing them. I love my husband but I have to say I think he's wrong on this one. I don't think you can ever be too careful when it comes to buying a house –it's the biggest investment we'll ever make and I think it makes sense to spend more time and money and come out of it with a better place to live and no legal issues. The last thing I want to do is fall in love with a For Sale By Owner without a real estate agent by our side to help us represent our needs and wants!
Finding Junior Tops Wholesale and More for Your Family
January 20, 2013 by publisher · Leave a Comment
Our children are our future, and as such we need to address them accordingly to make sure they are both stylish and comfortable no matter what the season may be or where they may be going. Unfortunately the process of buying new clothing for your children can be a tiring process at times, especially if your children are growing rapidly and their wardrobes need to be changed regularly. Bearing this in mind, online stores providing junior tops wholesale and other articles of clothing as well have sprung up to help.
Working to develop the best and most comprehensive collections of clothing available on the market today, these wholesale providers allow customers such as yourself access to a wide range of clothing that you may not find available elsewhere. Better still, these products are often at a fraction of the price you would find in traditional brick-and-mortar stores and can be delivered straight to your home for incredible convenience.
When looking to buy a wholesale skirt, wholesale boots or other items wholesale be sure to check out websites to see what they have available. By providing access to a diverse catalog of clothing from providers all around the world, these online stores can allow you to find just what you are looking for all in one place without needing to search through multiple stores or locations to find just the right outfit. Who knows? You may even be able to find something for yourself there while shopping for the younger members of your family.
Body Spray Tanning and You
January 19, 2013 by publisher · Leave a Comment
Alternative sunless tanning techniques have existed for many years, providing those using them rather than traditional tanning away to give their skin a beautiful bronze patina in a fraction of the time they may spend otherwise basking in the sun at the beach. As an added benefit of sunless tanning versus traditional tanning your skin can also avoid much of the damage it is normally caused by harmful UV rays, helping protect yourself from both an increased risk of skin cancer as well as premature aging. Still, some people today are hesitant about using body spray tanning often due to many misconceptions about it and how your skin may look afterwards.
While many people have felt that alternative sunless tanning techniques may leave your skin looking unnatural at times this is often due to the fact that they have not experienced a sunless tan using the latest technologies and techniques available today. As sunless tanning has developed over the years so has the ability for it to not only more realistically mimic the look and feel of a natural tan but also last longer than ever before.
When using a variety of spray tanning products such as the latest airbrush tanning systems available to consumers today individuals can enjoy a natural looking and feeling tan in no time at all year round. Using products such as those found at Artesian Tan rather than discount products found in most stores you can obtain a level of satisfaction and enjoyment that will leave you coming back for more time and time again.
Finding The Safest Infant Car Seat Stroller
January 11, 2013 by publisher · Leave a Comment
When you are awaiting a newborn baby to arrive, you want your infant to be absolutely as safe as humanly possible when they arrive. There have been new advancements in what are known as the infant car seat stroller that can really help you in terms of ease of use as well as safety across the board. You want the utmost safety and comfort for your little one when they settle in for a walk in the park or a car ride in their car seat, meaning that you want them to secure.
When you are thinking about what exactly this type of car seat and stroller combo is and how it can help you, let us explain. The whole idea here is that in your car you will have a base installed. You will also have a base in the form of a stroller. The device works in that you will have a seat that you can place your infant in. The seat can then be placed in the base of either the car or the stroller. This means that you are able to transfer the baby from the stroller to the car and back and forth without having to actually remove the baby from its secure and safe seat. This can be a lifesaver for many parents, especially when they are on the go and do not want to wake their lovely baby.
When you are looking for the right toddler car seat you should look at the supply at www.dmartstores.com as they can help you find what you need. There are quality zooper strollers that are sure to please the masses as well.

An England-Ireland Test match at Lord's could become a reality after the ICC specified its pathway to the top table for associate members.
Under the new proposal, confirmed at a two-day meeting at the ICC's headquarters in Dubai, a play-off will take place every four years between the lowest ranked Test team and the winner of the ICC Intercontinental Cup.
The 10th ranked side on the ICC Test Team Rankings on 31 December 2017, or at the end of any series in progress at that time, will play two five-day matches at home and two five-day matches away against the winner of the ICC Intercontinental Cup.
Under the proposed timescale, the inaugural Challenge would place in 2018, with the victor earning their place in a four-year Test match cycle.
Two ICC Intercontinental Cup tournaments are planned over the next eight years, with the first due to run from 2015 to 2017 and the next between 2019 and 2021.
The second ICC Test Challenge is scheduled for 2022.
"The ICC Test Challenge now opens the door for Associate Members to play Test cricket and in doing so gives even greater context to the ICC Intercontinental Cup, which will now be a pathway to Test cricket," said ICC Chief Executive David Richardson.

Panel highlights challenges of African-centered education
By Victor Walker
Special to The Michigan Citizen
Presented by the Community Research Institute, founded in 2008 by Dr. Kefentse Chike, the forum was held at the Shrine of the Black Madonna Bookstore Dec. 27.
The Community Research Institute bridges the gap between academia and the community and addresses how the Black community frequently fails to receive the benefits of conducted research.
"Sometimes the subjects of the research have no knowledge of the research," Chike said. Chike believes research done on Black communities should be presented to the community for discourse, especially as it relates to African-centered education.
Chike facilitated the panel that highlighted some of the benefits and challenges associated with African-centered education as well as solutions toward strengthening the institution that struggles to stay relevant in the 21st century.
"The education we typically get is one imposed by people who want to uphold the status quo," Chike said. "Detroit has a history of struggle as it relates to providing quality public education."
The fight over education in Detroit continues in 2013 as the duly elected school board fights with the state for control of academics and use of funds. "There is a problem when you're dealing with the same issues as your people 100 years ago," Chike added.
Elizabeth Whittaker, executive director of Nsoroma Institute, said African-centered schools equip "children with the skills needed to challenge the status quo," which she describes as "the antithesis of the public school system."
Community activist Bonotchi Montgomery described public schools as "nigger factories." "Our children are being miseducated and it's a crime. We have to make the community aware of our situation," Bonotchi said.
According to Malik Yakini, co-founder of Nsoroma Institute, "African-centered education is about personal transformation" that moves toward controlling one's own destiny.
An African-centered education provides an experience that stabilizes students in the world so they can "stay grounded in a eurocentric experience," Dr. Joyce Piert said. "Students experience African nation-building, principles of self advocacy, cultural knowledge and identity, and personhood," Piert said.
Whittaker stressed the necessity of addressing the needs of the community, particularly the family because it affects the quality of education for the children who are going to be leading these institutions in 10 or more years.
"The state of the community is a major factor in sustaining Black institutions," Yakini said. Yakini suggested that in order to understand the state of Black institutions the state of the community has to be understood.
African-centered schools grew out of Black nationalism and pan-Africanism "to build conscious soldiers," and address white supremacy, Yakini said. However, Yakini said that in the realm of public education, African-centered education isn't even discussed.
"We have isolated ourselves from the masses of our people. African-centered schools are on the sidelines while Black people are moving forward," Yakini said.
How do African-centered schools remain independent yet compete with publicly funded schools to offer quality education amid severe budget cuts, low enrollment and lack of community involvement, Yakini asked.
One approach offered by Dr. Ebony Roberts is to provide professional development for teachers. Roberts pointed out that teachers must be properly trained and understand the value of African-centered education in order to be effective.
"Not enough dollars are put into professional development. Even if you disagree with African-centered education, you have to believe Black children deserve more than what they are getting," Roberts said.
"An institution is only as strong as the community that supports it," Whittaker said. "We all like the idea of African-centered schools, but are we willing to do what is necessary to sustain them?"
Dr. Jeffrey Robinson, administrator of the combined Paul Robeson and Malcolm X academies, said: "The community has got to play a bigger role. Some of the biggest blows have come from the lack of support from the community." Dr. Robinson said that without support of parents and the community, we are defaulting on our future.
An opportunity for the Detroit community to help sustain at least one African-centered institution has presented itself. The independent Nsoroma Institute, founded in 1989, remains one of a number of African-centered schools facing challenges in a struggling economy.
Nsoroma recently began a campaign to raise funds toward gaining financial stability. It asks for community support to reach its goal by Feb. 28. As of Monday, the school has only raised about 10 percent of its $30,000 goal.

2011 Recap: Cobb started the season with a bang as he took back a kickoff for 108 yards and scored on a 32 yard TD. It was his best work of the season though. He was buried on the depth chart and never assumed a regular role in the offense as he finished with only 24/369/1 on only 30 targets. The good news is he had an exceptional catch rate % of 80%.
What's Changed: He will have a chance to see more action is his 2nd season as Driver is in the twilight of his career and James Jones drops too many big passes. He has had a great start to camp and his "earned" more playing time in the Packers' high flying attack.
Outlook: Cobb has a ton of talent and matching that talent with a QB like Rodgers and a play caller like McCarthy is a recipe for fantasy goodness. He just needs to get on the field. IF he can earn the WR3 position he can be a very nice late round sleeper. Continue to watch his development in camp and dynasty league owners should already be all over him as he could blow up in 2013.

In some chronic cases, denial of health-care benefits means a patient is discharged from a hospital over the objection of psychiatrists. This recent 60 Minutes story explored some tragic examples.
We are not finished raising money for the 2014 NAMI Walk of Washington. I am happy to report that our thermometer this morning shows $209,995. Since Walk Day May 17, we have collected more than $30,000!
On Jan. 20, 2014, NAMI Day was held in Olympia with a good presence on the Hill: 89 participants representing 14 affiliates. Our lobbyist, Seth Dawson, and our public policy chair, Sandi Ando, presented information. In addition, NAMI Washington President Gordon Bopp gave an overview of the six work groups and the steering committee working on transforming the adult behavioral health care system.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first generic versions of Cymbalta (duloxetine delayed-release capsules), a prescription medicine used to treat depression and other conditions. Aurobindo Pharma Ltd., Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., Lupin Ltd., Sun Pharma Global FZE, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, and Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd. have received FDA approval to market duloxetine in various strengths.

He played the skeptical Dr. Spivey in the seminal 1975 film, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," but in real life he was Dr. Dean Brooks, the superintendent of the Oregon State Hospital where the movie was filmed. He also was a longtime Everett, Wash., resident, serving on the boards of Western State Hospital in Steilacoom and, in Everett, on the board of Compass Health.
NAMI Washington's annual walk was successful at raising awareness about mental illness and raising funds for local NAMI affiliates. More than 1,000 people walked on May 18 and participated in the rally and information fair at Kirkland's Marina Park.
Despite the blustery and cloudy day the crowd assembled and walked with signs, T-shirts and banners before being greeted by the Mariner Moose and listening to music by Down North. Radio personality and columnist Patti Payne emceed as prizes were awarded for best team T-shirt, best slogan and the winner of the Mental Health Quiz.
NAMI Washington is pleased to announce that Cheryl Strange was elected to fill the position vacated by John Turner on the Board of Directors. She brings extensive experience with the mental health and criminal justice systems.
Strange is vice president of the Behavioral Health and Reentry Division at Pioneer Human Services of Tacoma. She previously served with the state Department of Corrections, in the Health Services Division, and with the state Department of Social and Health Services, in both the Mental Health Division and the Division of Development Disabilities.
NAMI Washington board member Dr. Helen Teresa "Trez" Buckland was honored with the 2013 Expanding Horizons Award at the annual Navos "Bigger than Breakfast" event.
The NAMI National Board voted to approve NAMI Washington for rechartering at the May meeting.
To be rechartered, NAMI WA was required to submit documentation of compliance with the Standards of Excellence developed at the national level. The rechartering of the state organization was a precursor to affiliate rechartering.

Rather than dent his confidence, Bob Fernley believes Sergio Perez's year with McLaren has made him a better driver.
Having impressed everyone in the paddock during a stellar 2012 season with Sauber, Perez was called up to McLaren to replace Lewis Hamilton.
The Mexican driver, though, arrived at a bad time for the team.
Struggling to get the most out of the MP4-28 and its Pirelli tyres, neither Perez nor team-mate Jenson Button secured a single podium finish last season.
And, at the end of it all, Perez was let go in favour of rookie racer Kevin Magnussen.
But rather than the year turning out to be a blow to Perez's confidence, Force India deputy team team Fernley says it has boosted the driver.
"Checo's time with McLaren will benefit us enormously here as he's embraced the disciplines that go with running with a top team," Fernley told Autosport.
"I thought that the last six months that he was with McLaren he matured well. He still had that aggressive touch but it was contained.
"The thing that the fans find exciting, but teams find worrying, is when you go for a gap at Monaco that isn't there.
"[In] the second six months he was very measured in the way he approached things and had great success in terms of what he was doing driving-wise.
"I believe that, again, we have benefitted from the McLaren process."
As for claims by some that Perez is arrogant, Fernley welcomes that saying it is a good aspect for a driver to have in their make-up.
"A driver has to have an element of arrogance, otherwise they don't believe in themselves," he said.
"They've got to believe in their minds that they're the best that's out there.
"That must be unshakeable because if it isn't then the doubts come in and that's when they start to struggle.
"Checo's easy to work with and he'll take the team with him, like Nico does.
"What better team-mate could Checo have than Nico?
"We don't need to do anything because he's going to be sitting next to somebody who is rated as a potential world champion [and] who's going to challenge him every time he sits in the car."

Today on the Menu we are joined, straight off the set, by CBS's Russ Mitchell who is the news anchor for both The Early Show and CBS's Sunday Evening News. Mitchell, who by the way is running second in his NCAA bracket behind Julie Chen (apparently going with Syracuse was not our best choice!), talks about the changing face of news and what people entering the business should consider.
Mitchell also talks about the Missouri Honor Medal for Distinguished Service in Journalism he is about to receive from his alma mater, the University of Missouri, as well as the future of online video. You can listen to all the past podcasts at BlogTalkRadio.com/mediabistro and call in at 646-929-0321.
Today on the Menu, after overcoming some technical difficulties that Steve assures us is not the fault of New Jersey (where he is broadcasting from) we talk with the NYT's Brian Stelter about his A-1 story on Glenn Beck. Beck has seen viewer numbers sky-rocket for his 5pm slot at Fox News since moving there from HLN in January. Brian notes that Beck now ranks number three in all cable hosts, and says that considering the numbers have stayed steady through March it appears he may be more than a flash in the pan.
We also talk about cable networks attempting to charge for online content and why I think that is a terrible, backwards idea. And before Steve bolts for his train back into the city we touch upon HuffPo's new investigative journalism venture. You can listen to all the past podcasts at BlogTalkRadio.com/mediabistro and call in at 646-929-0321. On tomorrow's podcast: CBS' Russ Mitchell.

Your physician has referred you to the Lipid Clinic for management of your cholesterol and to help reduce your risk for cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. Our goal is to help you lower your risk through nutrition and exercise, and use of medications when necessary. We will help to manage your medication safely and maximize the benefits of treatment for you.
Initially, you will be evaluated by a lipidologist (a physician or clinical lipid specialist) in order to assess your cardiovascular risk and help you set and achieve individual goals. Your subsequent visits will be with a clinical lipid specialist and the lipid multidisciplinary team. The physician director will be involved in all treatment decisions. Your primary/referring physician will be kept informed of your therapy and will continue to manage your health care needs.
At your appointments in the Lipid Clinic, a test called a lipid profile will be reviewed. This test includes levels of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and triglycerides (dietary fats) and calculates LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol). Sometimes a liver function test will be performed as needed to assess safety of certain medications. Additional tests may be needed through a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm.
Laboratory tests will be done regularly to measure the achievement of individual goals. Most of these will be performed with clinic visits for immediate review with the clinician. Therefore, the provider will make any adjustments to medications or recommendations for changes in nutrition and exercise while you are in the clinic. You will receive a new "plan" and an appointment for your next clinic visit. The frequency of your appointments will depend on your individual risk and treatment plan.
Like other medications, cholesterol medications may be potentially harmful if not carefully monitored. When starting these medications, it is important to obtain frequent blood testing in order maximize effectiveness and safety. As the individual goals are achieved, and safety is established, testing may be done less often.
Prior to your first visit, we will send you a welcome letter along with several forms and questionnaires to complete before your appointment. On your first visit to the Lipid Clinic, the clinician will spend time talking with you about cardiovascular disease, diet, exercise, general health and medical history. Your spouse, other family member or support person is encouraged to come with you.
Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center | 1055 N. Curtis Road | Boise, Idaho 83706 | 208-367-2121

What trends did we see in Q2 2014?
Global tech spending, revised down from 3.2% to 2.1% growth in 2014, reflects the tough market conditions for computer, communications and EMS firms.
Looking forward to 2015-2018, Gartner forecasts tech spending will improve and return to more normal growth levels (3.7%).
A new milestone was reached in Q2'14 for worldwide smartphone shipments. Vendors shipped a total of 301.3 million smartphones worldwide in Q2'14, up 25.3% from a year ago.
While the worldwide PC market reversed two years of declining shipments in Q2'14, there were mixed results as stabilization in developed markets was offset by a decline in emerging markets.
Global technology IPO activity surged in the second quarter with 43 IPOs raising US$12.3bn in proceeds, a year-over-year increase of 153% and 327% respectively.
Q2'14 US technology deal volumes and value remained at historical norms while new deal announcements increased. Deal value was boosted by hardware and semiconductor deals.

Product description
Homer's "Iliad" is the greatest and most influential epic poem ever written, telling of the tragic and bloody climax to the ten-year siege of Troy. This "Penguin Classics" edition was originally translated by E.V. Rieu, revised and updated with an introduction and notes by Peter Jones and D.C.H. Rieu. One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer's "Iliad" tells the story of the darkest episode in the "Trojan War". At its centre is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, and his refusal to fight after being humiliated by his leader Agamemnon. But when the Trojan Hector kills Achilles' close friend Patroclus, he storms back into battle to take revenge - even though he knows this will ensure his own untimely death. Interwoven with this tragic sequence of events are powerfully moving descriptions of the ebb and flow of battle, of the domestic world inside Troy's besieged city of Ilium, and of the conflicts between the Gods on Olympus as they argue over the fate of mortals. E.V. Rieu's acclaimed translation of "The Iliad" was one of the first titles published in "Penguin Classics", and now has classic status itself. For this edition, Rieu's text has been revised, and now a new introduction and notes by Peter Jones complement the original introduction. Seven Greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th-7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliad and Odyssey are attributed. "The Iliad" is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity - or even the existence - of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived. If you enjoyed the "Iliad", you might like Homer's "Odyssey", also available in "Penguin Classics".

The Tape Project nears release of it's first four titles
March is a very busy month for
The Tape Project
. The running masters for our first four albums are being made, the world's finest realtime duplicating setup is being assembled, and the custom reels and packaging are in production. At the same time a program of tape machine refurbishment and modification is being developed at Bottlehead Corp. as it gets ready to offer modification services and complete machines based on the highly regarded Technics RS1500 series of tape recorders. While we burn the midnight oil getting ready to serve up some of the best sounding audio fare ever made, here's some news to keep you sated-
Extended Response Heads improve playback performance
Greg Orton of
Flux Magnetics
has come up with a specially packaged version of his extended response playback head that fits perfectly in place of the stock two track playback head in your Technics RS1500. Upon receipt of your head block Greg installs the extended response head in the original shield can and wires it to the original head selector switch, preserving your RS1500s selectable quarter track/half track playback ability. For dedicated playback only machines Greg will also install long wearing ferrite "dummy" heads in place of the stock erase and record heads. For more info
contact Flux Magnetics
RMGI tape chosen for initial Tape Project offerings
After extensive testing and auditions we have chosen RMGI's SM 468 formulation as the tape for the first Tape Project album releases. Grammy Award winning mastering engineer and The Tape Project Managing Director Paul Stubblebine has found RMGI SM 468 to be manufactured to a high level of consistency, sounding as good or better than the original, highly regarded AGFA PEM 468 formulation. It's a most appropriate tape for the high level of quality we are attempting to achieve with Tape Project master dubs. Click this
to download a specification file in PDF format from the RMGI website
The Tape Project swag - now available
We think our Tape Project logo is too cool, and Tape Project Managing Director Michael Romanowski just couldn't wait to get us swagged out. So here's a
link to cool shirts, mugs, bags, buttons plastered with the Tape Project logo
, available at CafePress.com. A hot tip - the Tape Project messenger bag pictured would be perfect for carrying two or three Tape Project albums to your next audio soiree.
Why IEC equalization?
Are we nuts? Or is there a good reason?
I am asked this question almost daily. Typically the question is accompanied by the comment that the consumer grade tape machines out there are are almost all set up with NAB playback EQ rather than IEC playback EQ. I'll attempt to give a not too technical explanation of our choice to use IEC playback EQ on the Tape Project tapes. My reference, and a brilliant resource for those interested in more detailed discussion, is Jay McKnight's collection of technical papers on his
Magnetic Reference Labs
website, home of the high quality MRL calibration tapes.
The NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) standard for tape playback equalization was designed by Frank Lennert in 1948 for use with early Ampex tape machines and the then industry standard 3M Scotch 111 formula tape. Scotch 111 is well regarded for it's ability to hang onto a signal over many years. But by modern standards it's a "high noise" formula. And tape heads of the era were limited in high frequency response. The NAB equalization curve was designed to compensate for these factors by boosting the high frequencies above 3150 Hz during playback. The 3150Hz transition frequency creates a "boost" in the high frequencies that is 3dB greater than the inherent loss of high frequencies that occur in the modern day recording process. Modern tape formulations (and tape heads) have improved so much from the early days in terms of frequency response and noise floor that the high frequency flux now needs to be cut during recording to get flat reponse during playback with NAB EQ. So a shelf needed to be created in the recording EQ curve to compensate, and this keeps the recording engineer from being able to take full advantage of modern low noise tape formulations. From a modern tape machine designer's perspective this is getting messy! Now you're boosting the highs way more than you should and noise goes up. So we need a new EQ curve that let's us avoid cutting the highs during recording.
Yup, you guessed it, the 4500Hz transition frequency of the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) playback EQ nicely matches the losses of modern tape formulations, and the recording EQ doesn't need to make unecessary compensation for overly boosted playback EQ. Ironically the IEC curve isn't even a new EQ curve - it has been used in Europe for mastering almost as long as the NAB standard has been used for commercial playback. It's a simpler curve to implement and gets the high frequency noise levels down to where noise reduction methods like Dolby and DBX become unecessary. Sonically it's a winner, and that's means it fits right into the Tape Project's goal of delivering the best possible music in the best possible format.
Studio machines from the likes of Studer and Ampex come with selectable IEC EQ, and some "prosumer" tape machines like the Otari MX-5050BII and the Technics RS 1520 do as well (along with sporting the necessary half track playback head and 15 ips capability for playing Tape Project Tapes). Some other machines can be modified to IEC EQ by a competent technician, and the ultimate is to have a machine modified to connect the heads directly to custom playback electronics with switchable EQ setting like those offered by
ATR Services
Manley Labs
, and soon by
. Bottlehead also offers DIYers a kit that can be adapted to tape playback, the

Kentucky Derby! Twin Spires! It's almost too much for trainers whose dreams come true
As the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands approaches, a glance at the roster of major contenders finds some familiar names near the top.
Nick Zito, a two-time Derby winner, trains the current favorite, Dialed In. Three-time Derby winner Bob Baffert could have as many as three starters depending on what he decides to do with The Factor, who looked like the possible favorite until a poor effort in last week's $1 million Arkansas Derby. But even without that speedy colt, he still has Santa Anita Derby winner Midnight Interlude and Jaycito.
Todd has Uncle Mo
Todd Pletcher, coming off his first Kentucky Derby win with Super Saver, has Uncle Mo, who would have been a heavy favorite if not for his stunning loss in the Wood Memorial, and Stay Thirsty, who is coming off a disappointing run in the Florida Derby.
While marquee names like Zito, Baffet and Pletcher are a welcomed annual presence at the Run for the Roses, new faces provide plenty of spark to the great race. And they've enjoyed incredible success through the years.
A recent run of rookie trainers who found their way to the winner's circle included Barclay Tagg (Funny Cide, 2003), John Servis (Smarty Jones, 2004), John Shirreffs (Giacomo, 2005), Michael Matz (Barbaro, 2006) and Rick Dutrow (Big Brown, 2008).
Rookies can win
It is clear that you do not have to be the racing equivalent of John Wooden, Denny Crum or Bob Knight to win the Kentucky Derby. Experience on the championship scene is certainly no detriment. But there are lot of people who look like Butler's Brad Stevens or Virginia Commonwealth's Shaka Smart that get the job done in the biggest race of them all.
We've already shared the story of one of those up-and-comers with you, but we'll update the story of Kathy Ritvo. She's the trainer of major Derby contender Mucho Macho Man and is bidding to be the first woman to saddle a Kentucky Derby winner.
Ritvo, a 41-year-old mother of two, is looking to make the most of her Derby Day opportunity. But she approaches every day like that.
The Twin Spires!
She has gained that perspective through life experience. Ritvo stepped onto the grounds of Churchill Downs for the first time on Sunday and the image of the illuminated Twin Spires in the pre-dawn darkness on Monday provided her with the same tingle that goes through the rest of use who are more accustomed to the sight.
Ritvo was able to enjoy that moment, and all those that are to come in her first Kentucky Derby experience, because a donor heart became available five years ago just before her heart was about to give out.
She is, to anyone's knowledge, the first heart transplant recipient to train a Kentucky Derby contender, and that donor heart is doing some extra and excited beating as Ritvo moves through each new day of sensations and smiles.
"For me, it's hard to believe that I'm here (at work) every day," Ritvo said Monday morning while talking with a visitors outside of Barn 41. "I'm healthy and it was a long road. I think it's amazing. I'm living a dream."
The journey has not been quite that dramatic for Juan Arias, but it has been an interesting journey to Churchill Downs for his first Kentucky Derby.
Arias trains Decisive Moment, who finished second in the Vinery Racing Spiral at Turfway Park and his graded stakes earnings have guaranteed him a spot in the Kentucky Derby field.
Born in Panama and a product of the legendary school for jockeys in that country that has produced Laffitt Pincay, Jr. and a long list of riding stars.
He's too big
Arias came to the United States with dreams of riding in a Kentucky Derby. But, given his body type, he knew that weight would soon be an issue and his riding career might be a brief one.
That career in the saddle at U.S. tracks ended in 1990, and he quickly changed his focus to training, working under a series of experienced veterans that included Richard Root, Wesley Ward and Happy Alter.
He went on his own in 2003, and now finds himself getting a close view of the historic Twin Spires and the venerable one-mile dirt surface at Churchill Downs most every day as he takes Decisive Moment through his morning gallops. He turns the saddle over to jockey Jesus Castanon when it's time to work his horse.
Arias has been on the grounds a couple of weeks longer than Ritvo, but he offers the same smile when talking about his experience thus far as one Ritvo offered on her first day beneath the Twin Spires.
"Before it was a just a dream," Arias said. "I can't believe that we're just three weeks away from one of the things that we wanted."
Another Arias
Arias' name will ring familiar with long-time Derby fans because he shares that name with the man who trained Canonero II, the Venezuelan-based Kentucky-bred that stunned the racing and sporting world with a win in the 1971 Kentucky Derby that ranks among the biggest upsets in its 136 renewals.
There are no blood or business connections that link the two other than both have brought a horse to the Kentucky Derby. Canonero's Juan Arias, by the way, won the race in his first try. The Juan Arias who trains Decisive Moment would love to share that connection.
Starry eyed
Ritvo and Arias have an imposing task before them as they attempt to make all the right moves as they guide their horses through the final weeks of preparation for Kentucky Derby 137. But don't dismiss then because they are starry-eyed first-timers.
As recent Derby history clearly shows, it's not a requirement that you have participated in a Derby to find yourself in the winner's circle on your first trip to the biggest race of them all.

Can OP describe how he went about porting to the 4311? I would like to be able to keep up to date (even more so considering the recient master key issue), but I am not really sure how to do it.
I am not a coder, but have set up my own kernel for my *nix box, so is it just simple setting up the kernel to support it, or did you write some patches? Is it something I could do?
I read that Jellybean does not support flash. So am I better off to keep ICS on my pmid4311 instead of installing the Jellybean version on here? Just wondering before I try that and then get no flash or the Jellybean doesn't work as well as the ICS.

Thanks for the info ya'll. I will have to try installing Jellybean on it and see. Hope it's faster than ICS.
Tablets: Polaroid PMID 701i, PMID 4311, Zeki 10" tablet

I tried to download the Live Suite stuff and Norton said it was a security risk. Scared of viruses I stopped downloading it and deleted what I had already downloaded onto my moms puter. I better not upgrade to Jellybean until I can find a safe version of the Live Suite. Don't want to goof up my moms puter or my tablet. Oh well.

Thanks so much for the info. I will have to try that. Does anyone know if Jellybean is faster than ICS? I was hoping an upgrade to Jellybean might fix the lag that ICS has.

You can try DLing my LiveSuite. This is my folder zipped (sans the CM and stock firmware folders) and upped. It has no virus's.
Thanks for posting that. I'll have to dl it when I get a chance.

Oh I see-He was posting the livesuite for you but quoted me. I was like "huh?"
I picked up an Emerson em543 new in a box two days ago for $30, and immediately hit Google for root/rom info, leading me here.
Quick overview.... I had no issues flashing your packages to the device. Awesome job, thank you for investing the time to put this out, I can't imagine the work involved.
Once flashed I had all of the usual problems that seem to be listed here, objects weren't sizing up right and things like that, I applied the DPI fix which seemed to rectify most of it. The biggest problem I have is that it seems to slow to a crawl after a time.
I'm not positive but I think it might be tied to installing Amazon Appstore after I had used the Google Play Store to install all of my Android stuff there. So I reflashed the device back to stock and noticed the battery was being torn through in an obscene fashion, so I decided to give the CM flash one more chance..... and here I am.
Just wanted to get a post in, hoping to participate, will update after I get a chance to install some stuff and pin down my issue.
Thanks again.
1. Have ES Taskmanager installed, and the killall widgit on the desktop and use it before I start a new program.
2. In ES taskmanager you can go in and blacklist alot of the startup apps. You don't need at of things always running that try to auto start. Every little cycle helps with this device.
3. In Settings/Dev tun on "Don't keep activities", change the background process limit to at most 1, and checking "Kill app back button".
4. There is a program called "System Tuner" that lets you OC your CPU. I can get mine up to 1.15ghz. Any more and it crashes, though this will use more power.
As for the battery thing, well, this is mostly a wifi thing. With Wifi on I get a little under 2 hours of life. With it off, and playing GBA emu, I can go for 2 hours and use 20%. So yeah, turn off the wifi whenever you are not using it.
Also, a little bit more. I turn suggest turning it off tablet mode (setting in screen). It is a really small screen, and pretty bad res, and having the app thing it is a "tablet" isn't the best. Apps that thing that will often times give the "big view" type stuff. This is noticable in the Youtube app for instance. Also, as I would recomend GMD AutoHide Soft Keys. The big reason is I like having the apps use the full screen, which a lot won't because the soft keys need to show. This removes it, and has a "hidden" soft key. There is also the added stuff you get with it. Like a menu button that doesn't get hidden by the notification menu, the abulity to jump to the last program, close all programs, google something, ect. Then there is the fact that the phone soft keys bloody suck .
Hope this helps you some.
O, and EMU's up to the PSX work fine on it, though you may want to get a usb micro to usb female and a joystick if you intend to use it to game.
I had my EM543 for a few months and I need to thank you guys of making this thing run smoother and better looking. I just did the dopa thing and CM10 upgrade. I had to twiddle with the 'ro.sf.lcd_density' setting like the posting said and the screen is better. I did remove a few apps and added others to the 'app' directory to more suit the things I used.
BUT.... I had to use the PMID4311 zip. The touch screen didn't work with the EM543 zip but it does work with the PMID4311. I'm just glad I was able to fix that on my own by reading through the forum.
Also, I think I messed up my internal SDcard. and also my external sdcard is non-functional. I use App2SD with my Verizon Vortex and it does same memory and out of habit installed it on the EM543. and as I'm typing this I seem to recall not to use any app to SD programs since it's built-in to the CM10. is this true or is there something else that I messed up?
I'm gonna try redoing the Dopa setup and then installing the EM543 zip again and see if that fixes the sd cards.
also, is there a difference in the camera drivers on the PMID vs the EM543?
I've been using this ROM for a couple of months without serious problems, but now I seem to be having trouble with the internal memory. Usually, if I go to the "storage" area under settings, there's categories for internal memory, another for internal memory, and one for the SD card. Now the tablet only has one category for internal memory (the second one is blank). Every time I put in the SD card, I get a message that says "SD card is damaged, try reformatting." When I hit the reformat button, I get the same message.
When I try to launch Transformers Legends, I get a message that says, "SD card is currently in use, try disabling mass storage mode." This despite the fact that the tablet isn't hooked up to a computer. Is there a way to fix this, or is the tablet just giving out?

"We want truthful answers to questions such as:Link
1. Why were standard operating procedures for dealing with hijacked airliners not followed that day?
2. Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack?
3. Why did the Secret Service allow Bush to complete his elementary school visit, apparently unconcerned about his safety or that of the schoolchildren?
4. Why hasn't a single person been fired, penalized, or reprimanded for the gross incompetence we witnessed that day?
5. Why haven't authorities in the U.S. and abroad published the results of multiple investigations into trading that strongly suggested foreknowledge of specific details of the 9/11 attacks, resulting in tens of millions of dollars of traceable gains?
6. Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims to have knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with a gag order requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by a Bush-appointed judge?
7. How could Flight 77, which reportedly hit the Pentagon, have flown back towards Washington D.C. for 40 minutes without being detected by the FAA's radar or the even superior radar possessed by the US military?
8. How were the FBI and CIA able to release the names and photos of the alleged hijackers within hours, as well as to visit houses, restaurants, and flight schools they were known to frequent?
9. What happened to the over 20 documented warnings given our government by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state?
10. Why did the Bush administration cover up the fact that the head of the Pakistani intelligence agency was in Washington the week of 9/11 and reportedly had $100,000 wired to Mohamed Atta, considered the ringleader of the hijackers?
11. Why did the 911 Commission fail to address most of the questions posed by the families of the victims, in addition to almost all of the questions posed here?
12. Why was Philip Zelikow chosen to be the Executive Director of the ostensibly independent 911 Commission although he had co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice? "

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.

December 21, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - Mitt Romney's plan for victory boils down to this: Convince independent voters he'll change Washington, stoke Republican enthusiasm and avoid unforced errors. The Republican nominee's path to reaching the necessary 270 electoral votes cuts straight through Rust Belt states.
The Republican has to stop President Barack Obama from sweeping Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, a Democratic-leaning state where Romney's making a last-ditch effort, while winning most other competitive states.
The former Massachusetts governor is making his closing argument, telling voters that he can do what he says Obama didn't: change the tone in hyperpartisan Washington.
The three-pronged approach is aimed at both turning out the base and winning over the independent voters that will be critical on Election Day.

text: J.J. Watt, Houston's finest Texan, dominated once again this past Sunday, this time against the Tennessee Titans with 1.5 sacks. Watt has controlled pass blockers like cattle en route to a monstrous 7.5 sacks through a mere four games. But what has made Watt so dominant in such a short period of time? Much of the focus has been on his power, and rightfully so. But his quick hands have made his arm-over move really problematic for offensive linemen.
