awesome heated colour. almost ideal substitute incandescent. only drawback is the price!!! despite the $29+ money cost I'm offering the 5 superstar assessment and wish to buy few bulbs in the near future.
Posted by Shamina Anderson on 27th Jun 2012
I bough few bulbs last week and Installed them at home. Work great with dimmer, great as spot lights or general room lighting, looks futuristic. actually it has really nice packing. It doesn't generate buzz but all cfl does it. another great fact is it use little power but out put is great.We love it and want more of them.
Posted by Michelle Clark on 25th Jun 2012
Just purchased this lighting plus two other competitive manufacturers. I put all three in an revealed hanging so I could evaluate the lighting excellent and shade to each other. All three did an excellent job of no more having that freezing "blue" lighting that used to be a issue for LEDs in common. The other two manufacturers are very white-colored, more in the CFL lighting classification but the GE Power Sensible has that simple white-colored shine more in range with a traditional incandescent lighting. Individuals might discover how they look when off a bit odd but this is the ideal lighting if you want to position it in a light fixture with a colour or other diffused fencing where you don't really see the lighting when off. I'm definitely going to substitute all my incandescents that drop into that classification with this lighting.
Posted by K.L.Winstern on 15th Jun 2012
I have the GE Energy in a light fixture near an incandescent, and large seems right-on. They did an excellent job of creating large smooth between the two kinds of lamps. However, yes, it looks strange when off. I'm reluctant that's the trade-off. Lighting is near to a 15w lighting, but perhaps they are dropping performance by including the heated shade, because it seems to me that an LED should be able to generate that much perfection from less power; 12.5 h doesn't audio far off from a CFL. I have replace one bulb in my bed room and it gives charm light for me. I am very happy about the brightness about these lights and i like packing too. its nice.
Posted by Michael Davis on 9th Jun 2012
I am very fulfilled with this light. There is a minor wait (maybe 1/2 second) in the lighting arriving on, but there doesn't seem to be a preparation interval. The lighting is indistinguishable from incandescent and dims well with the dimmers we have. Our home has some of the much more costly LED recessed lighting, which we like, and these are at least as excellent. My children have requested me to substitute the CFL's in their bed rooms with these LED's.
Posted by Anderson Clark on 4th Jun 2012
GE Energy Smart Dimmable LED bulbs are the best light for energy save. I bough few lights for my home. They take only 12w but they give 50w bright lighting. I am very happy about the bulb shape and packing because they are beutyful. Important matter is these lights are eco freindly lights. I replaced few lights for my work place(a Garage) Now they are giving good job with brightness. I wish to buy more few bulbs.
Posted by Unknown on 20th May 2012
I purchased three of those to exchange the world-lights during my bathroom. These work great. They Are Doing take a while to warm-up to full strength perhaps a full few minutes. Although, as this is inside a bathroom, it's really a pleasant feature, to ensure that the lights aren't blinding when you initially turn them on.
These were well packed and guarded, and showed up early enough (not the quickest, although not the slowest).
Posted by Thor Candle on 3rd May 2012
I purchased four of individuals lights to switch standard 40-w throughout my bathroom. Once I switched the switch I used to be amazed simply how much better the bathroom looked. The bulb shows up at $45 so upfront cost will most likely be major. When the Whirlpool Introduced bulb last since it is promoted then you definitely certainly should easily recoup the cost of purchasing it. They come in good warranty so Whirlpool seem to become confident the merchandise will not fail easily.

Exercise 2.64
Printer-friendly version
The following procedure
The following procedure
list->tree converts an ordered list to a balanced binary tree. The helper procedure
partial-tree takes as arguments an integer n and list of at least n elements and constructs a balanced tree containing the first n elements of the
list. The result returned by
partial-tree is a pair (formed
cons) whose
car is the constructed tree and whose
cdr is the list of elements not included in the tree.
define (list->tree elements)
(car (partial-tree elements (length elements))))
(define (partial-tree elts n)
(if (= n 0)
(cons '() elts)
(let ((left-size (quotient (- n 1) 2)))
(let ((left-result (partial-tree elts left-size)))
(let ((left-tree (car left-result))
(non-left-elts (cdr left-result))
(right-size (- n (+ left-size 1))))
(let ((this-entry (car non-left-elts))
(right-result (partial-tree (cdr non-left-elts)
(let ((right-tree (car right-result))
(remaining-elts (cdr right-result)))
(cons (make-tree this-entry left-tree right-tree)
Write a short paragraph explaining as clearly as you can how
partial-treeworks. Draw the tree produced by
list->treefor the list
(1 3 5 7 9 11).

Women really love double penetration videos, or at least I do so really need to keep that in mind. This was a good video I just wish they didn't show her face so much, she annoyed me with her stupid faces lol. OH and nothing is more than a turn off then to watch a chick sucking a dick than just came out of her asshole. GROSS! Other than those two things the video was really good.
Mike November 17, 2013
Nothing against sucking a dick just coming out of an asshole, but the asshole must belong to somebody else, not to me
Mike November 17, 2013

Two years later, and I've finally finished watching the Top 100 Grossing Films of All-Time! I had already seen 68 of the 100, so I averaged about one movie every three weeks. While I've enjoyed more of the movies from Ebert's 102 Movies You Must See list, watching the top 100 grossing gives you an interesting snapshot of American culture through the past 100 years. Some of the movies are hardly classics, but it was fun to consider why they were so popular in the specific decades.
My Favorites
I didn't watch 3 horror movies that were on the list, because I hate horror movies — and it's my list, so I can do what I want!
I think I found your blog via Tara's, but wanted to say what a fun goal I think this is! I'm doing the AFI top 100 for my list (if by doing I mean seeing 1 film in 8 months), but I like the idea of watching what's popular, not necessarily critically acclaimed…

Quick poll! Which blogs were your favorites in 2009?
Just reply with a couple picks and a shortie "because" for your choice.
Or, tell me in general which focus types you enjoyed most (and want more of!)--
blogs that contain a how-to
Favorite medium to feature (Beadwork, wirework, or other media)
Lots of inspiring eye-candy by other designers?
Videos? Want more? Which medium?
Links to recommended store projects, books and products?
I already know you like free projects, of course–– me too!
I am so curious! Just comment here and I'll be checking in.
Hope your holiday season is already full of peace and beads.
oooohh.. I get to be first? WHat fun!
Ok, I ALWAYS love lots of eyecandy.... I always enjoy seeing other's work, gives me new ideas for my own.
I also have enjoyed the product highlights, when it's showing new ideas (like the resin post a few weeks ago) because sometimes I am afraid to try a new product/tech. because I know nothing about it.
WOuld love to see a bit more on some of the multi-media jewelry like the resin...
Perhaps an occasional style watch? as in, show us what's up and coming style wise... think the fashion mags "trend forcast"
Ok, there's my thoughts!
Thanks, Lois! Good feedback and ideas-- a fashion forecast, yeah. I like it! Let's see if others do, too. Thanks for being the first!
I like the trend watch idea. I hardly ever make jewelry based solely on what's 'in', but it's still nice to see what's new and exciting, and what colors are upcoming.
Articles about new products are always welcome (other than books and mags).
Wirework & mixed media jewelry definitely interests me, and of course eye candy. :)

Thanks, Jeni--another vote cast for a trend watch. That interests me too. I wear colors I like, just as you do, BUT... the trends are what's out in stores, and do in essence impact our choices in everything, from clothing to wall paint to the colors in kitchen utensil handles!
Curious what mediums you'd like to mix... Fiber, fabric, paper, found objects, wire and... beads and... ?
Thanks for your feedback!
OHOH! I had another idea.... what about a series that focuses on some of the unusual jewelry "styles"... vintage, steampunk, goth etc. I am not into any of these styles, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like them if I knew more about them.
Oh, of course--and we've already been doing that! Did you catch Jean Campbell's Vampire couture goth style post? But as far as which products give those looks to pieces of jewelry, yes, I get your drift. Thanks Lois!--L
Unless posting on bd counts as blogging, I don't blog, nor do facebook, nor tweet. I use colors and beads which catch my eye, and get inspiration from books and magazines, and especially from bd. Some I would never make, but they may get me to thinking about a 'related' use.

Ignorance is curable; Stupidity has neither cure nor excuse.
I belong to more than one online forum. I am always looking for "Free" 'How To" Tutorials, or patterns. Learning new stitches or techniques.
I can't follow a pattern, so I learn the stitches or techniques. I am always looking at the folks in Television, News etc to see what they are wearing for Accessories, Jewlery, etc. What Colors are in: in Vanity Fair, Glamour or More.
Occassionally I will watch a soap to see what they are wearing.
I subscribe to three of Interweave publications. I seek out others in the Libraries around the country.
I even not what the tellers at the bank are wearing for accessories.
I have noted, I see more and More Hair Jewelry being worn by everyone.( anyone else notice it?)

Blessed are those who can Give, without remembering
and Take with out Forgetting
I also like the idea of a trend watch, although I'm with Jeni--I never make anything based on what's trendy--its all about what I find that I like. I do love seeing new, unique products.
I'm not a bead weaver, so I don't care at all about the weaving posts. I would love to see more multi-media. Resin, wire, metal, (I'd love to learn about cold connections like riveting, etc.) and found objects are all very appealing to me.
And the eye candy is awesome--I love seeing what other designers are doing. I like when you feature books and show multiple pages/designs so I get a good idea what the book is like before buying. I will never buy a book based on seeing the cover and a verbal description.
Would love to see more challenges and contests as well.
"Curious what mediums you'd like to mix... Fiber, fabric, paper, found objects, wire and... beads and... ?"
All of the above and anything else you can think of that will mix with beadwork. Doesn't even have to be jewelry per se.
"Curious what mediums you'd like to mix... Fiber, fabric, paper, found objects, wire and... beads and... ?"
All of the above and anything else you can think of that will mix with beadwork. Doesn't even have to be jewelry per se.
Love this. Love the eye candy also. Mixed Mediums would be Wonderful.
I third ( I think I'm third) the Trend Watch Fashion Forecast thing.....I never know what's "in" (or care most of the time) but I do think that it would be helpful when I'm stuck in a rut.
Maybe not just a focus on what colors are in and what the stars are wearing but do like a by style article...like Steampunk, Assemblage, Vintage Salvage, Wirework, Mixed-Media.....etc. I loved the Vampire goth article...it was not quite me as far as style but the materials and ideas were fantastic! More articles like this please!
I'm not a bead weaver either....most of the time what get's my attention is the materials used in a piece...awesome lampwork beads....old watch cases....parts from old pieces, buttons...etc.
Maybe a Featured component article...what can you do with grandmas buttons...that piece of leather couch....that old necklace or brooch of your aunts....etc
Hope this helps!

I-feature: Making the moldable phone
Do you design a single device for all occasions or create a separate device toĀmeetĀthe needs of eachĀoccasion? That's a question that's been confounding phone makers for the last half decade. As our phones become more powerful, they become capable of usurping the functions of other devices: mobile music players, laptops, navigation systems, even television. The phone may be capable of performing these feats, but viewing video, composing a PowerPoint presentationĀor mapping a crosstown route on a 4-inch screen isn't necessarily practical or even comfortable.
The subject of the two most recent interactive feature elements is the evolution of the mobile phone and its interface: a feature outlining Texas Instrument'sĀplans toĀevolveĀthe mobile phone into a central repository for computing, content and multimedia; and a podcast with The Astonishing Tribe founderĀHampus Jakobsson on the how the device user interface will expand beyond the physical constraints of the screen and keypad. more

THQ dissolving: Where are your games and studios going?
Company of Heroes, Saint's Row, Metro, Homefront. If these are a few of your favorite things, you should know that their publisher, THQ, has been carved up as its bankruptcy case continues. We have the full list of what THQ was able to sell, and sadly, what might be going down with the ship.
First, the good news: A lot of folks get to keep their jobs even though THQ is going to be a non-entity in the very near future.
Sega is taking Relic Entertainment, the Canadian developer of Homeworld, Company of Heroes and the Warhammer 40K games like Dawn of War and Space Marine. It is currently unknown if the Warhammer license will transfer to Sega, but our guess is that it won't.
Crytek, which made the epic PC shooter Crysis, will take the Homefront license. The German developer was developing the sequel to 2011's commercial hit. Koch Media, which owns a game label known as Deep Silver and is also based in Germany, has purchased Champagne, Illinois-based Volition. That team is known for Saint's Row and Red Faction. Koch also snatched up the Metro publishing license from THQ's carcass.
THQ Montreal, which had yet to publish a game, was snapped up by the French giant Ubisoft. The firm also snagged the publishing rights to South Park: The Stick of Truth, an ambitious RPG under development at Obsidian Entertainment. Beyond this, Take 2 snatched the publishing rights to Evolve, an FPS under development by the creators of Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock Studios.
On the sad side of things, THQ's publishing business went unsold, though that comes as no surprise. Also, Vigil, the studio behind the Darksiders series, has yet to find a suitor. It's also worth pointing out that except where noted, the fate of some individual licenses is still up in the air. This leaves older franchises like Homeworld (where our picture above comes from) and Red Faction lost in the ether. We imagine that the various studios' new owners will also get the publishing rights to games currently under development. For example, we expect Koch to have the Saint's Row license as the fourth entry in the series is currently in development at Volition.
A sad day, but it may not be such a sad future.

I got the idea for this little list from Anthony Neil Smith over at Day Labor. (Yeah, you know, the official blog of Crimefactory) If you haven't read the post yet, pop over right HERE and give it a gander. But what Neil did was put together a personal top ten of things he dug through out the year, and I figured, what the hell, maybe it would make a decent post for old Bloody Knucks
So here's my personal top ten:
10) Writing for Spinetingler
Hard to believe my whole relationship with Lindenmuth started after he completely trashed my first short story in Plots with Guns. It's been a blast, and it'll be interesting to see what the future holds for this seminal publication
9) Family Guy
This is the rock of my nightly broadcasted entertainment. Peter Griffin never gets old
8) Blue Wasabi
Me and the wife's favorite restaurant. Awesome fusion sushi place/martini bar a couple of miles from our place. Martini's and raw fish make an awesome combo.
7) Shock Top
I'm not a huge fan of wheat beer (or anything manufactured by Coors) but damn, on a hot day (which is pretty frequent in Phoenix) nothing tastes better than this crisp brew.
6) My Stromboli
I make it once or twice a month. The very definition of comfort food
5) My iPad
I write, read, game, listen to music, and once I have the keyboard (This is a not so subtle hint to the wife of what I want for Christmas.) it's going to completely replace the laptop.
4) Getting to meet Cam
It was cool cruising around the desert with Smashley as my co-pilot and getting to map out the direction of Crimefactory for the next year.
3) Getting laid off from my job
It was a shock at first, it threw our lives into turmoil, but now that I'm a couple of weeks removed from the event itself, I'm actually kind of glad it happened. After six years, the truth is I was burnt out and I was on cruise control most days, counting the hours until I could get home so I could write and hang out with my family.

#cockinasock is the latest in narcissistic cancer slacktivism (NSFW)Posted by Tom Megginson | 26-03-2014 14:08 | Category: Activism
As Osocio's resident "sex in advertising" blogger, I'm afraid I cannot ignore the latest meme in weird awareness activism.
That's right, this post is about #cockinasock.
I'll let Esquire Magazine explain:
No, it's not the cleverly subversive marketing campaign for a new Red Hot Chili Peppers album, hell bent on providing women's magazines with blog fodder and stuffing your Facebook (and Instagram, and Twitter) feed with enough meagerly filled stockings to ruin Christmas forever. #Cockinasock is actually a brilliantly fresh movement to raise awareness for testicular cancer, drummed up by non-profit Cancer Research UK, who've raised $13 million so far from last week's #nomakeupselfie campaign and didn't want men to feel left out.
Indeed. Why shouldn't men sexualize a horrible affliction like cancer the way women do, each October? We, too, can "attention whore" on social media to raise awareness for something that people are already painfully aware of. Why bother getting into the nitty-gritty of prevention, fundraising, and empathy for sufferers when you can stuff your manhood in a sock and use a faddish excuse to sext the entire internet.
No, I will not be participating. See some examples of men who are, after the break. They are probably not appropriate for your workplace.

Book Summary
It doesn't have to be a mystery.
"I need some help," a missionary wrote. "I bought into the vision of saturation church planting, the Great Commission and taking the Gospel to unreached people groups. I joined a mission sending agency, raised support, and now that I've been in this country three months, I'm stuck. I don't know how to get started. It's Tuesday; what am I supposed to do today?"
A missionary's first year on the field does not have to be a mystery. Each page of this book contains enlivening pearls of wisdom and practical messages. The author's passion and knowledge of mission work and missionaries are revealed and sustained throughout the reading. What makes this book unique is the author's inclusion of insightful examples readers can apply when adapting to a foreign country, such as: making friends, remaining aware of surroundings and networking. Included in this book is a chapter of things not to do in ministry. Anyone interested in serving in missions will find this book a valuable guide in knowing where to start when working overseas. God bless you as you begin your journey in missions, one Tuesday at a time.

iPad 4G branding strategy defended by Apple in Australia
In an ongoing battle in Australia over the use of 4G in the iPad name, Apple's now arguing that its naming convention adheres to the standard use of the term 4G. According to a report in The Australian, Apple claims,
The descriptor '4G'... conveys to consumers in Australia that the iPad with WiFi + 4G will deliver a superior level of service in terms of data transfer speed (consistent with accepted industry and regulatory use of that term), and not that the iPad with WiFi + 4G is compatible with any particular network technology promoted by a particular mobile service provider in Australia.
In December 2010, the International Telecommunications Union, which sets the terminology and marketing standards for the wireless industry, defined 4G as "the forerunners of ... LTE and WiMAX, and to other evolved 3G technologies providing a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed."
According to this definition, both the iPad and Australia's networks can legitimately use the term 4G to describe their products. We will have to wait and see if the Australian court agrees. A final verdict in this case is expected on May 2.

So I'll jump into this discussion we're having on the role of religious rhetoric. Largely and overall I agree with what Leah has to say, so the point of this will be a very narrow expansion and rebuttal to some comments courtesy Jess Belding on another post. I don't think Leah goes far enough in some places.
2. Politicians who use faith, rather than empirical facts, as a foundation for policy (cf Dubya many many times). Just one example:
I am driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. [http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/oct/07/iraq.usa].
Both of these are hugely inappropriate, as they explicitly cut people out of the national conversation about politics. In the first case, unbelievers are dismissed as incapable of being a part of the political process, due to supposed ethical deficits. In the second, crucial justifications for policy choices are based on evidence that is not capable of being questioned, proved, or sensed by a large slice of the voting public.
2 Responses to Malleus Maleficarum
Officially, Dubya went to Iraq "for WMDs". Not 'because of God', that's ridiculoso and even he wouldn't try to pull that one. He was probably just trying to appeal to Christians by tapping into faith. GW is actually a very appealing politician, considering how stupid the east-coast media tends to portray him as. Also, his speech impediment is amusing. Obama's too good of a speaker to be worth listening to. I'd rather listen to Palin make verbal boo-boos in her folksy Alaskan twang than hear a perfectly executed, HOPE HOPE HOPE speech roll off of Obama's silver tongue.
While I'm pulling Scheisse out of the air over here, I think we went to Iraq for oil or for a nice stepping stone in the middle east. and we didn't even get the oil. EPIC FAIL. Can't even get us some fossil fuels like we were supposed to. Jeez, lrn2exploit the verdammt resources!!! Failtastic invasion that resulted in huge debt. We for reals need to squeeze some oil out if we want a net profit on this deal. At least we have a nice strategic position for obliterating the rest of the people who are raged about Israel [i.e. arabs/muslims]. Israel was a dbag move, so inconsiderate. Pushing people off their land, grabbing Jerusalem, etc. Very rude, no wonder that region is boiling with Jihad-hatred.
okay, and destruction of iraq's infrastructure was a dbag move. set up some crap puppet gov't and leave a potential power vacuum if we pull out… one big hot mess. At least now we have a base to invade Iran from!
I hear you! The problem of GWB's statement is that no one understands him. His religious feelings aren't something anyone else can feel for him. For example, if he says he is happy, other than trusting that he is happy we can't really feel what he feels. In this case, he can say "God told me to do this" all he wants, except no one will be able to feel the same thing and most will start to doubt how much logic (if any) is actually behind his decisions.

Date: Oct 01, 2012
This costume looked adorable in the picture but was an incredible disappointment when it arrived. It is stitched so poorly the hem of the top was unraveling. The pin on the front was hanging off, and the tulle skirt was sticking to itself in many places. Also, there was no petticoat, so there is no yellow, full skirt under the green tulle, as pictured. An incredible waste of money and time.

Impatience grasps at all, and admits of no delay, scorning to wait God's leisure, and to attend humbly and dutifully upon the issues of his wise and just providence.Robert South
What good has impatience ever brought? It has only served as the mother of mistakes and the father of irritation.Steve Maraboli
Patience is the support of weakness; impatience the ruin of strength.Charles Caleb Colton
One has to wait without impatience for what should come, and yet at the same time do everything within one's power as though one were impatient and as though one were solely responsible.Rodney Collin
Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.Rita Mae Brown
Impatience is a great obstacle to success; he who treats everything with brusqueness gathers nothing, or only immature fruit which will never ripen.Napolon Bonaparte
The pine tree seems to listen, the fir tree to wait: and both without impatience -- they give no thought to the little people beneath them devoured by their impatience and their curiosity.Friedrich Nietzsche
The patient. The pine tree seems to listen, the fir tree to wait: and both without impatience: - they give no thought to the little people beneath them devoured by their impatience and their curiosity.Friedrich Nietzsche
In all evils which admit a remedy, impatience should be avoided, because it wastes that time and attention in complaints which, if properly applied, might remove the cause.Samuel Johnson
There are no sins God's people are more subject to than unbelief and impatience. They are ready either to faint through unbelief, or to fret through impatience.Thomas Watson
Do not be impatient for impatience is of the flesh. Do not try different methods because they are useful solely in helping the flesh. We must distrust the flesh entirely.Watchman Nee
Impatience turns an ague into a fever, a fever to the plague, fear into despair, anger into rage, loss into madness, and sorrow to amazement.Jeremy Taylor
If a man, for private profit, tears at the public news, does so with the impatience of one who thinks he actually owns the news you get, it is against the national interest.Jimmy Breslin
There will always be a part, and always a very large part of every community, that have no care but for themselves, and whose care for themselves reaches little further than impatience of immediate pain, and eagerness for the nearest good.Samuel Johnson
Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.Mother Teresa
A populace never rebels from passion for attack, but from impatience of suffering.Edmund Burke
All human errors are impatience, a premature breaking off of methodical procedure, an apparent fencing-in of what is apparently at issue.Franz Kafka
Perhaps there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of impatience we cannot return.W. H. Auden

It boggles the mind how foolishly stubborn and needlessly harmful that the WT society is being in this matter and those related to it. God, if they would just be honest, they would get the filth OUT, do the least damage to the congregants, particularly children, keep the congregation "clean" and comply with secular laws-which frankly are NOT in conflict with anything in the Bible.
WHAT IS THEIR PURPOSE??? To make some new court case for separation of church and state or ???? Don't children matter more? Doesn't their integrity matter for ANYTHING? I remember some stupid WT song about integrity. Stupid song as all of them, but I did learn the meaning of the word-did ANYONE else???

(But, didn't the WTS state after the California class action case that, "It didn't have a pedophile problem") . . . The WTS has no problem with pedophiles! They can be elders, MS, go out in field circus, etc. Being a pedophile helps a man inside the KH.

"Being a pedophile helps a man inside the KH" That's a pretty general statement and one that doesn't read true. Though the fools don't act on reports it doesn't mean its a plus being a pedophile. Thank God (if there were one) for Uthank and his righteous indignation leading him to take action as he has. He will be helping protect many children and expose the 2 witness system for what it is, unloving, anti-innocence and evil.

In fact only the PO COBE would even take the pedophiles court records none of the elders ever took a copy from me. I only got the records after the service overseers stuck his finger in my face demanding to know how I had proof that this man was a pedophile. So I went and got the PUBLIC RECORDS to prove to the elders what I was saying was true and no one wanted them. Not only that but I got into trouble for even having them. The attorney elder told me I had no right to have them and the PO COBE told me that I had to much information that was to hot for me to have.
THEY WERE PUBLIC RECORDS. PUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The court would not have given them to me if they were too hot for me to have. So I mailed them to Bethel and everyone I could in the legal department yet still this guy went door to door with the elders blessings.
One elder even threatened to DF me if I told anyone. We were alone when he threatened me so I am sure he will recant it but maybe not.

I had an unnerving dream last night that my wife ( mrs. Flipper ) and I somehow attended a assembly at an open door public assembly hall. ( Which in real life wouldn't happen as we never attend . ) In the dream we started a conversation with a complete stranger , a JW man with his young family sitting there with him. It occurs to me in the dream that ANY complete stranger ( including child molesters ) could easily come walking into this public meeting , take a seat and try befriending parents with unsuspecting chldren. After waking from the dream I realized there is no check system in place. No checking of past court records of even MEMBERS like Life Is Too Short mentions. This organization is primed for having a pedophile problem due to the false impression people get that they are among so-called " safe " " brothers & sisters " . It's ridiculous there isn't more of a check system. I hope this Australia situation brings the perpetrators to justice and the WT society gets lots of negative media over this. It's the only way the public will know about it.
MAMALOVE - Your question, " Any families in the UK or US heard of JW's conversing about this ? " I highly doubt it. And THAT is a big part of the problem regarding child abuse worldwide in the JW organization. As Life Is Too Short mentioned, people are demonized or reprimanded or threatened with disfellowshipping in congregations if they reveal ANYTHING negative about unlawful child abuse happening within the JW organization. I mean - look what happened to Barbara Anderson & Bill Bowen years ago when they made their findings public. They got DFed. WT society doesn't WANT to protect children, they want to protect their pretend , false, illusionary goody two shoes image to not ONLY the public, but to their own JW members !
We are NOT dealing with a cleancut , above the board organization here folks . From the top down the Governing body, the WT legal team are ALL liable for aiding and abetting criminal felony child abuse which brings 50 to 100 year prison sentences to felonious child molesters. This is extremely serious. WT society's constantly trying to address child abuse as a SIN instead of a CRIME causing it to minimize and sweep under the rug crimes which should become public and on front pages of any newspapers.
JW DAUGHTER - Regarding YOUR questions , analyze them one by one.
1. What is their purpose ? To protect their financial holdings and keep the corporation business called the WT society floating at any cost or expense. And that includes hiding child abuse in order to avoid expensive payouts to JW victims or long court cases.
2. To make some new court case for seperation of church and state ? No, they don't care about that. They want to avoid ANY court cases that invlove having to pay settlements out of their billion $$$ empire. They don't want the bad publicity.
3. Don't children matter more ? No, not at all to the WT society. Children and women are viewed as slaves and are expendable.
4. Doesn't their integrity matter for ANYTHING ? No, it doesn't sadly. They would rather see their JW members suffer in Malawi, die from not getting needed blood transfusions , and watch children suffer from being molested - than to have that exposed in a public forum whereby the bad publicity may affect their financial holdings which now number in the billions . $$$$$ THAT is what their priorities are.
5. Stupid song as all of them, but I did learn the meaning of the word ( integrity ) - did anyone else ? Yes my friend YOU and I and all of us here learned the meaning of the word integrity . It's a big reason we LEFT the Jehovah's Witnesses and WT society in order to maintain our integrity and are now trying to expose the criminal organization for what it is - just that - a criminal organization. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

The Australian cricket board has eased rules governing the eligibility of players holding dual passports to compete in domestic tournaments as part of a scheme to strengthen its talent base.The initiative's aim is to lure talented cricketers like Sydney-born opening batsman Sam Robson, currently the leading run-scorer in the top tier of the County Championship in England, back to Australian domestic cricket.Middlesex batsman Robson, who holds a British passport owing to his Nottingham-born mother, has represented Australia at under-19 level but is also eligible to represent England in the future.
The changes are designed to allow Australian players who have dual passports to play in more than one... domestic competition
Cricket Australia statement
"The Board has endorsed changes to the definition of an Overseas Player for Australian domestic competitions," Cricket Australia (CA) said in a statement on Friday."The changes are designed to allow Australian players who have dual passports to play in more than one... domestic competition."With the current Australian team's calamitous performance in the ongoing Ashes series, where Michael Clarke's men have passed 300 just once in the last eight innings, players like Robson would give the selectors more options in the future.The current rules prevent cricketers born in Australia or holding a valid Australian passport from playing in the country as overseas players. The 24-year-old Robson, who has scored 993 runs for Middlesex at an average of more than 62 this season, has been unable to represent New South Wales as an overseas player because he was born in Australia."CA wants as many quality cricketers playing in its domestic competitions as possible," the cricket board said. "These changes will allow Australian players with dual passports to play first-class cricket in more than one country.
"A number of Australian-qualified cricketers currently playing in ECB (the English cricket board) competitions in particular are doing so as a local player, meaning if they play in Australia during the summer they need to do so as an overseas player to retain their ECB eligibility."

PENETANGUISHENE – In a gymnasium full of students ranging in age from eight to 13, Mike Neuts didn't have to raise his voice to be heard.
The Chatham resident's audience – an age group normally prone to restlessness and horseplay – sat silently and respectfully as he shared the story of his 10-year-old son's death in a bullying incident nearly 15 years ago.
"Every parent's worst nightmare," Neuts said, recalling the moment he and wife Brenda saw their son Myles on life support in hospital. "We sat down and begged him to wake up."
Tragically, he never did.
But his death, and the lessons learned by Neuts in the subsequent years, eventually fostered in the birth of Make Children Better Now, a non-profit foundation devoted to the betterment of children's lives.
It was the foundation's work that brought Neuts to Burkevale Protestant Separate School in Penetanguishene on Nov. 23, the final day of Bullying Awareness Week. Students from St. Ann's School and Canadian Martyrs School were also invited to attend the presentation.
Neuts has visited 23 schools since the beginning of September. Although the students he addresses are unfamiliar with his story, teachers and school officials are old enough to remember the national headlines about Myles's death and the subsequent police investigation.
During the lunch hour on Feb. 6, 1998, the fifth-grader was found hanging from his shirt collar on a coat hook in a school washroom. He was rushed to hospital, but doctors soon informed his parents that he had suffered irreversible brain damage.
A coroner's inquest eventually ruled the cause of death as undetermined, but Neuts said the evidence has led him to believe a 12-year-old boy hung Myles from the hook and watched him slowly strangle.
Neuts stressed that school should be a place where children learn, have fun and make friends, not a place where they are bullied or made to feel afraid because they are different in some way.
"You have the right to be who you are; you have the right to be different," he said. "And the world is not boring because of that."
Speaking with one boy after his presentation, Neuts told the youngster the pain of his loss is always present, but talking to children about ending the "disgusting" practice of bullying is a way of dealing with his grief.
"I will do everything I can to change the world for you," he said. "But I need your help."
Grade 8 students Maddie Crowe, Miriam Robitaille and Chris Fox, all 13 years old, agreed the emotional presentation made an impact.
"I learned that there are a lot of people who stand by and watch (bullying)," said Maddie, who added she will never again be a bystander.
"Bullying is a cruel thing," said Miriam. "I don't understand why people bully."
"Bullying can happen in so many ways," said Chris. "What kids think is harmless is actually really harmful."
Principal Tim Mallon appeared to become choked up as he thanked Neuts for sharing his heartbreaking tale.
"Whether you are young or old, you know bullying is wrong," said Mallon. "Sometimes it takes someone like Mike to jar us into realizing (it)."

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Janse van Rensburg, Lindie email@example.com URN etd-08242006-125130 Document Title A morphological analysis of weevils from sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands: an assessment of ecological influences Degree PhD (Entomology) Department Zoology and Entomology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr A D Bastos Prof C T Chimimba Keywords
- sub-fossils
- systematics
- morphometrics
- Ectemnorhinus weevils
Date 2006-05-02 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe ecologically sensitive, but relatively simple sub-Antarctic mouse-colonised Marion and mouse-free Prince Edward Islands represent ideal ecosystems for addressing questions relating to the partitioning of potential influences of anthropogenic changes, such as climate change and alien species on ecosystem functioning. Consequently, weevil species were used in the present investigation to address questions of morphological change over time with reference to climate change and mouse predation.
As a prelude to the assessment of morphological changes over time, the six currently recognised weevil species, namely, Bothrometopus randi, B. parvulus, B. elongatus, Ectemnorhinus similis, E. marioni and Palirhoeus eatoni from both Marion and Prince Edward Islands were confirmed by morphometric analyses. However, the taxonomic status of Ectemnorhinus weevil species on both islands is much more complex than previously considered. A multi-faceted approach based on both morphometric and molecular (COI gene) data suggest the presence of a single species, comprising diverse, genetically discrete populations on Marion Island and two genetically distinct species on Prince Edward Island.
The assessment of morphological changes over time included the four remaining weevil species (B. elongatus, B. randi, B. parvulus and P. eatoni) occurring on both Marion and Prince Edward Islands, collected non-consecutively over five decades. These analyses suggest morphometric size differences between samples from both Marion and Prince Edward Islands collected in the mid-1960s and 1970s and those collected recently. Similarly, samples from both islands collected in the early- to mid-1980s also showed morphometric shape differences with those collected recently for both Prince Edward and Marion Islands, respectively. Generalized Linear Models (GLZ) suggested year of sampling to contribute more, to both, morphometric size and shape in all species sampled on both islands, while temperature contributed more to shape for species collected on Marion Island. Given the consistent pattern of morphological change over time for both the mouse-infested Marion Island and the mousefree Prince Edward Island, it is possible that climate change rather than mouse predation may primarily influence weevil morphological changes on the two islands.
Subsequent analyses extended the question of weevil morphological changes over time with reference to climate change and mouse-predation, and included sub-fossil weevil elytra and head capsule remains collected on Marion Island mire habitats. As a prelude to these analyses, an attempt was made to first identify the sub-fossil samples (using head capsules) with reference to recent samples of the currently recognised weevil species on both islands. While species-level identifications were not possible, morphometric analyses suggest that the sub-fossil remains belong to the Ectemnorhinus group of weevils. Sub-fossil weevil remains recovered in mire sediments from 2 m and 2.5 m depths, considered to represent different dimensions in space and time, were dated at 789 BC and 2331 BC, respectively. Subsequent analyses showed no significant morphometric changes in sub-fossil material between the various depths, predating the effects of climate change on both islands and the introduction of the house mouse (Mus musculus) on Marion Island in the early 1800s. However, a comparison between the sub-fossil remains and recently collected material considered to represent a period characterised by climate change and mouse-predation showed significant morphometric differences over time. However, the questions investigated in this study need to be investigated further because the potential ecological influences driving ecosystem functioning on the islands may be much more complex than currently understood.

Getting to know our 2 Minute Miracle Creator & Formulator
Have you ever heard someone talk about another person's good fortune and say "well, they just got lucky." Is it luck, really? I don't believe in luck, personally. I believe people run into luck every day and just let it go right by them. Why? Because they didn't listen for cues, they didn't ask questions and therefore didn't recognize the opportunities that were present right in front of them. Ask anyone whom you think has been "lucky" and after you hear their story of perseverance, creativity, risk and fortitude you will realize that they created their own luck.
Shelly Maguire is the President of NatureSynergy,Inc where she has developed and brought to market over 40 different skin care products under her own brand Ice Elements Skin Care. During her career her other entrepreneurial endeavors include owning and operating various franchise businesses as well as founding and running a chain of high end Spas with over 125 employees.
Shelly is a widely recognized motivational speaker and has been featured in many newspapers, magazines and television news shows across the country to share her life story which is also chronicled in her recently published book titled Dancing in the Storm.
Diagnosed at the age of 12 with the incurable disease of Cystic Fibrosis and given a life expectancy of 18 years, Shelly became interested in health and wellness to help combat her disease as well as her own skin challenges. Due to stress, medication and her treatments, she recognized the toll it was taking on her own skin. At the age of 25 she opened her first spa where she could focus on inner health and outer beauty, later expanding to four locations. She soon realized that all Women and Men were facing the same challenges: skin care was complicated and confusing, there were many empty promises and results could take months to see – if at all. She recognized that due to our busy lifestyles there was a need for simplicity and ease with anti-aging promises you could see, quickly.
This began her mission to develop one product using nature's most powerful ingredients, which could deliver multiple benefits, would replace the need for many products while delivering fast, visible results. Working with top industry leaders she quickly recognized the key role that hydration plays on skin health and the ability to fight aging. Her discovery of a 100% natural glacial protein ingredient that could protect from moisture loss, became the cornerstone of the Ice Elements brand.
As a member of the Cosmetic Chemists Association, her hands on approach to skin care development coupled with her creativity and passion for helping others led her to launch a wellness Home Spa Party company. Concurrently she developed a program for Facial Rejuvenation which is nationally approved for continuing education credits for Massage Therapists. Shelly also has formulated skin care product lines for multiple wellness related companies over the last 12 years. For the past nine years she has been a regular presenter on HSN (Home Shopping Network) in the USA and has also appeared in infomercials and on live TV shopping channels, Internationally.
This led to the revolutionary and proprietary development of her highly sought after 2 Minute Miracle Gel which has sold over a million jars worldwide and received top recognition in multiple Internet and beauty related publications. Although Shelly has had a highly successful history of sales with her Ice Elements Skin Care and her 2 Minute Miracle Gel, she still felt that her mission in life was still not fully accomplished. She had a desire to use her products as a tool to change other people's lives in a positive way and connect with them one on one.
Shelly learned of Ocean Avenue and their philosophy of bringing families together through better health and financial freedom. She felt an immediate connection and saw the synergy of what Ocean Avenue represents and her own personal dreams. She shared their vision of connecting people through amazing products that are easy to share and enhance their quality of life. Together, with Ocean Avenue, Shelly and her 2 Minute Miracle Gel will set a new standard for excellence and opportunity in the MLM industry.
Shelly and her husband Frank work together in their business and reside in Naples, Florida. She loves spending time with family and enjoys working out, golf, cooking and travel with her husband.

AT&T announced this morning at the end of their developer summit that it will exclusively carry the ASUS Padfone X in the U.S. Previous variants of the phone and tablet combo device have avoided the U.S. market up until now, even though it has been quite popular in international markets. We aren't sure why (other than carriers hating the idea that you can use a smartphone data plan with a tablet by docking them together), but are certainly excited to see this hybrid concept arrive. (more…)
Asus Teases Dual-booting Something or Other for CES
With CES around the corner, expect to see a tease or two per week from companies looking to steal some of the spotlight from competitors or at least make us pay attention for a minute. Asus is one of the first up with this new clip that dropped over the weekend. It features the Statue of Liberty throwing up deuces to tell us that it has a product that can do two things. The product appears to be a tablet of some sort, or convertible laptop-to-tablet dealio, which also flashes green and blue as a potential sign that we're looking at Windows and Android. (more…)
New ASUS PadFone Launches, Features Snapdragon 800 Processor and Same Interesting Design
The PadFone from ASUS is a device you won't see too often in America. Why it hasn't cracked into the US market too heavily must partially be due to ASUS and the carriers. The PadFone is a phone that fits comfortably into a tablet dock, which eliminates the need for a separate tablet attached to a data plan. This is the type of thing carriers don't care for. It's a pretty futuristic idea, but then again, we are living in the future. The newest rendition of the PadFone is much like last year's model in terms of looks, except ASUS has thrown some healthy spec bumps inside – including Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.2GHz. (more…)
Asus Announces the Padfone Infinity With 5-inch 1080p Display, Snapdragon 600 Processor, LTE, and Docking Fun
Asus is at it again with their phone-inside-of-a-tablet line of products called the Padfone. Announced this morning at Mobile World Congress, we have the brand new Padfone Infinity, a phone with a 5″ 1080p display, 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 processor, 64GB storage, 13MP camera, LTE, and Android 4.2. But most importantly, it also docks into a tablet shell, just like its brothers and sisters did, to turn your phone into a 10.1″ tablet as an all-in-one type of device. (more…)
Asus Padfone 2 Announced – Quad-core Processor, LTE, Ultra-Light Body, and No U.S. Availability
Asus made the Padfone 2 official this morning, a device that they are selling as being "intuitive." Just as its predecessor, the Padfone 2 is a smartphone that docks inside of a tablet shell to give you both a phone and tablet experience. While docked in the tablet, it's still capable of making calls and using your wireless plan's data, so for power users that aren't interested in paying extra for a tablet data plan, this is the ultimate tech toy. (more…)
Video: ASUS CEO Shows Off the New Padfone 2
The folks over at Bloomberg have posted a video of ASUS' new Padfone 2, being handled by none other than the company's CEO, Mr. Jerry Chen. In the design department, ASUS should be awarded medals. Instead of being attached inside of a compartment like previously, it looks like the phone simply sits on the back side (with a slide-in motion) in the direct center of the tablet dock for use of the phone's camera. It looks very slick. (more…)
Asus Padfone 2 Full Specs Revealed – Quad-core Processor, 4.7-Inch Super IPS+ Display, 13MP Camera and More
A picture of what appears to be the backside of a retail box that was posted over at Chinese site mobile01, is being reported as the spec list for the Asus Padfone 2. Now, we know that Asus is going to unveil this device on October 16, but so far, most of the specs remained a mystery. Unless of course, this picture is legit. So what do we have? (more…)
Asus Sends Out Invitations for Padfone 2 Unveiling on October 16
This morning, ASUS has sent out invitations to the press and industry affiliates for them to book their flights over to Taipei, Taiwan and Milan, Italy for the unveiling of the Padfone 2. Unlike some companies, ASUS isn't trying make this a secret and even has a corner of the device on display in the invitation.
Except for that image above, there are no confirmed specs or even really that many rumored specs to speak of. The only small piece of info out there was a benchmark that showed a Snapdragon S4 processor and 2GB of RAM. But, that's just a benchmark and isn't much to go on. (more…)

5 Buy-Rated Stocks Outyielding 'The 30-Year'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- TheStreet Ratings uses a point-based system to assign letter grades to stocks. The cream of the crop -- those that receive a perfect 100 -- are given an "A+" and represent a small percentage of the stocks that we cover (currently, 84 out of more than 5,000 issues).
Browsing this list, you'll discover a common thread between many of these stocks: Most of them pay dividends.
|Special Section for Income Investors >>
That's because TheStreet Ratings stock-rating model favors defensive investments with a bias toward conservatively financed companies that have demonstrated a history of favorable shareholder returns. And as history proves, dividends account for a large portion of the average investors' total stock market return.
The five stocks on the following pages are among the highest-rated stocks that we cover, and they all pay dividends in excess of the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond. They might make an attractive addition to your income portfolio.As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel -- rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
