Bahá'ís and the Arts: Part II
To musicians, `Abdu'l-Bahá said, "singing and music are the spiritual food of the hearts and souls. In this dispensation, music is one of the arts that is highly approved and is considered to be the cause of the exaltation of sad and desponding hearts," 28 while Bahá'u'lláh counselled, "We, verily, have made music as a ladder for your souls, a means whereby they may be lifted up unto the realms on high; make it not, therefore, as wings to self and passion." 29 Given such statements about the value of this art, it is no surprise that Bahá'í musicians were very active during 1994-95.
The Northern Ireland Bahá'í Choir, for example, went from strength to strength, performing at a variety of venues both for Bahá'í community events and for the public. After a public concert at the Bridewell Arts Center for the Magherafelt Arts Festival in late March 1995, audience members commented, "Come every year to the festival!"
Also in the UK, the London Choir received a special invitation in September to do a performance before an audience of 400 at the Brahma Kumaris Center, marking the International Year of the Family. The following week, the choir also performed at an interfaith festival at Middlesex University, attended by the Dalai Lama.
The Italian youth music group Light in the Darkness took part in a European tour during the summer of 1994, performing at the Regional Bahá'í Youth Conference in Berlin and then visiting Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The group, which has been in existence for a number of years and has performed widely in eastern Europe, this year comprised ten youth from Canada, England, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, and the US.
A Bahá'í-owned music and art management company facilitated the holding of a concert in Thessaloniki, Greece, by violinist Bijan Khadem-Missagh and pianist Walter Delahunt, both Bahá'ís living in Vienna. The concert was filmed by a crew from German National Television for inclusion in a documentary on Greece. During the same trip, the two musicians gave another public concert for the benefit of a school for handicapped children, under the sponsorship of the Greek Bahá'í community and in honor of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Bahá'í Faith.
In Norway, The Carmel Eulogies, a symphony by Norwegian composer and Bahá'í Lasse Thoresen, premiered in Oslo on 10 November, with a repeat performance the following day. Commissioned by the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra on the occasion of its 75th jubilee, the symphony consists of two parts, "Fragrances of Mercy" and "Circumambulations." The rhythm of "Allah'u'Abha" ("God the All-Glorious") is inherent in the work, which is based on the Bahá'u'lláh's Tablet of Carmel. The symphony was critically acclaimed, and many members of the audience were visibly moved during the performance. It was broadcast live on national radio and taped for later airing on the national television network.
In October two Bahá'í musicians, cellist Lev Evgrafov and vocalist Minoo Falahi, joined the Perm Philharmonic Orchestra in Russia in a celebration of the International Day of Music. The recital of classical music was performed before an audience of approximately 700, while the local television station aired the entire concert. Particularly well received was a lullaby composed by Alfredo Speranza, an Italian Bahá'í pianist and composer, entitled "Viens, mon enfant" in which a mother sings to her child to come to pray to Bahá'u'lláh, a beautiful Sun that will shine on her to make her full of joy and happiness.
The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, was the venue for a solo piano recital in September 1994 by Chris Keller, a Bahá'í musician living in the area. The program included original compositions, jazz standards, and one piece that incorporated passages from the Bahá'í sacred writings. Ms. Keller has also been awarded a grant by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities to organize a "Jazz for Peace" concert.
El Viento Canta, which has toured Europe, Africa, and Asia playing traditional South American music with a Bahá'í message, gave several concerts in South and North Dakota during August. The group also sang at the Annual Wakpala Celebration and three powwows while they were in the area.
The Honduran folk music group Wind was invited by the Bahá'í community to perform and present the Bahá'í Faith through music at three different universities in the country. All were highly successful.
In Tasmania, Australia, two Bahá'í musicians from Melbourne gave a series of performances entitled "Tribute to Bahá'u'lláh." The three concerts, in Hobart, Clarence, and Launceston, featured quotations from the Bahá'í writings set to music. A newly-formed dance group in Tasmania, called The Farsight, was also active, performing in high schools and at Human Rights Day activities. 30
July saw the official release of the double compact disc set of the music of the second Bahá'í World Congress. A special celebration in Toronto, Canada, marked the event. The music was composed by a number of individuals, including Jack Lenz, Tom Price, Jim Seals, and Graham Major Barr. It represents a broad range of influences, including modern classical, North American gospel, and Persian classical, and was composed in praise of Bahá'u'lláh on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of His passing. First performed in New York in November 1992, the music was recorded the following October in Russia, with the Mila Moscow Orchestra, by choir members from ten countries.
Arts Events
A Bahá'í creative writers' group in Ottawa, Canada, met monthly and also sponsored a monthly Arts Night, involving visual artists, singers, and musicians as well as members of the writing group. In Dallas, Texas, a similar venture, called "Arts Afire," sponsored a Race Unity Day event at the Dallas Bahá'í Center, including visual art, cultural exhibits, a reception, and a program of music, drama, dance, and short talks about the contribution of art to the appreciation of diversity.
The Australian Bahá'í community sponsored two youth who took part in an international conference for young playwrights called "Interplay," held in Townsville, Australia in July 1994. The conference brought together 42 young people from 21 countries. Jedda Bradley's play, Dare to Tango, explored the theme of equality through the eyes of a group of men and women who work in a café. June Perkins' play, Immigrant Mother, looked at the issues of racism and family relationships by telling the story of a new immigrant to Australia. Ms. Perkins also presented a paper for a forum on indigenous drama on "Unity in Diversity: A Regional Drama of the Pacific."
The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of South Africa established a Bahá'í association for the arts, called "Arts for Unity," in 1994. It invited the participation of artists and craftspeople of all descriptions, with the goal of contributing towards unity in South Africa.
Two major arts events took place in Zimbabwe during the year. The first was a national music and drama congress, held 12-14 August in Mhondoro, with approximately 200 attending. Music and drama groups from all over the country participated, with the drama group from Murewa and the Epworth children's choir winning in their respective categories. Choirs were required to sing two songs, one for a funeral and a second selection on any theme. Most of the songs were original. Zimbabwe's second major event ran from 26 to 31 December, when approximately 700 people from 30 different countries gathered in Harare for the Zimbabwe Bahá'í International Summer School and Music and Drama Festival. In the music competition of that event, a group called Voice of the Youth, from Bulawayo, walked away with the first prize, the Murewa Choir came second, and the Epworth Choir came third. All three winners are from Zimbabwe. In the drama category, Africa Awake from Malawi carried away top honors, Botswana came second, and Namibia was third.
Kenya hosted a national contest in 1994, with the final stage held 20-21 August in Nakuru. Thirty-six teams participated in four categories of competition: music, poetry, drama, and memorization of passages from the Bahá'í writings. The Lutali community in Kakamega won first prize for drama and memorization, the Binyeny community of Bungoma won the poetry prize, and a team from the Kisumu community won for music.
In Zaire, approximately 2,500 youth gathered in Mboko City, South Kivu, in April 1995 to attend the country's fourth annual Bahá'í music festival. The theme was "Youth Can Move the World," and about 40 groups sang songs, danced, performed skits, and read poetry inspired by the message of Bahá'u'lláh.
The Landegg Academy in Switzerland hosted several significant arts events during the year. One hundred and ten people from fifteen countries gathered there 18-22 November for the institution's fourth annual Music Forum. Bijan Khadem-Missagh acted as artistic director of the Forum, which included public concerts, spontaneous performances by participating musicians, and workshops on subjects such as composition, the influence of African music, dances of the world, and improvisation and the role of music in the corporate world. Other highlights included addresses by best-selling author Dr. John Diamond, who challenged participants with his unique music methodologies, and by Dr. Susanne Schaup, German author, who spoke on "Music Without Boundaries." The Landegg Music Forum Choir also held its first rehearsals during the gathering, under the direction of Norwegian composer Lasse Thoresen and baritone Johan Walström. Just over a month later, Landegg hosted a conference on "The Role of the Aesthetic in a Global Society," which brought together more than 100 people from 20 countries. The keynote address for the event, the overall theme of which was "Art, the Artist, and Unity," was given by Otto Donald Rogers. Other speakers and performers included artist and writer Anne Gordon Perry, dramatist and puppeteer Bill George, Native American dancers Kevin and Kimimila Locke, and pianist Mark Ochu, all of the US, as well as dancer Arlette George of Scotland, guitarist Conrad Lambert of England, and actor Omid Djalili.
A music institute on Tanna Island, Vanuatu, in the South Pacific, drew together about 20 Bahá'í youth from seven different communities for eight days at the end of January. The program consisted of study classes on the Bahá'í sacred writings, sessions to work on the composition of melodies for passages from the writings using traditional styles of music as well as to learn existing songs, and lessons in guitar playing. In the evenings, participants joined in social activities and were able to share what they were learning with members of the Bahá'í community and the public.
In Sri Lanka, a three-day music and drama program held 7-9 April 1995 featured a modern Oriental dance on the theme of peace and unity as well as drama and music. The previous August, Colombo's young people produced a drama about Tahirih for a meeting commemorating her life.
Awards and Achievements
The Australian Bahá'í Business and Professional Association has established an annual achievement award to recognize individuals who achieve excellence in their business or profession. The award for 1993, presented to the recipient at a brief ceremony at the Sydney Bahá'í House of Worship on 29 May 1994, went to well-known Aboriginal artist Lorni Hyland, whose work has been exhibited throughout Australia, including at Bahá'í events and, notably, in a show at Parliament House in Canberra. A banner designed by her was shown at the second Bahá'í World Congress in New York in 1992.
Donald Camp, a conceptual and experimental photographer from Philadelphia, US, was named a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation--the fifth African American male visual artist to be granted this fellowship in its 71-year history. He was also awarded a 1994 Fellowship in the Arts and was appointed Visiting Artist to the American Academy in Rome by the Pew Charitable Foundation. The work for which Mr. Camp received the Guggenheim Fellowship is titled "Dust Shaped Hearts," in honor of poet Robert Hayden's first collection, Heart Shape in the Dust. Conceived to honor African American men, the work consists of full faces printed in light-sensitized earth pigments and casein on lithographic paper, a process reclaimed from a nineteenth century photographic process and enhanced by Mr. Camp. Of this exhibition, the photographer has stated, "I'm often asked...why I don't do women or people who are not African American or men. The public image of black men is very different. I want to make prints that dance between the public and the personal images of self. The prints evoke a mystery and enigma that I hope will disappear over time. Not that I hope the modesty of the prints will fade but that the present fear and distrust of the men will end. What I hope remains are the reflections of modesty, humility, nobility, and perhaps the struggle that is evident in the faces I've chosen. I wish them to be `...indicative of both the light of reunion and the fire of separation.'" 31
An arts endowment in memory of Gwen Wakeling Staudigl has been given to the Bosch Bahá'í School in Santa Cruz, California, US, to promote education, development, production, exhibition, and performance in various fields of artistic endeavor. The endowment, a gift of her husband Henry J. Staudigl shortly before his passing last year, also includes a research and resource library. Henry Staudigl was a prolific film critic, as well as a writer and director for motion pictures, radio, television and stage productions. Gwen Wakeling was a versatile and creative costume designer, winning an Academy Award in 1950 for best costume design for Cecil B. DeMille's Samson and Delilah.
An architecture exhibit entitled "New Architecture for a New World" was held in the cultural center of Debrecen, Hungary, in late April 1994, attracting some 1,500 visitors over a ten-day period. Photographs and posters of Bahá'í Houses of Worship around the world and holy places at the Bahá'í World Centre in Israel were displayed in 24 frame panels set up as a nine-pointed star. The success of the exhibit led to further showings at universities, museums, and cultural centers throughout Hungary.
Looking toward the Future
In his essay "Aesthetics and Spiritual Education," Glen Eyford has characterized and analyzed the world in which we live at present as follows:
Man is challenged to dedicate himself to `the emergence of a world community, the consciousness of world citizenship, the founding of a world civilization and culture....' Because he was made in God's image, man constantly strives to create order from chaos, to find meaning and purpose, to discover harmony, unity, and beauty. The instinctive tendency operates in both the creation and the appreciation of the arts, and, through intimate interaction with the creative word of God it can be channeled to assist in the building of a new world order. 32Such a perspective is not fashionable in contemporary artistic circles. `Abdu'l-Bahá's statement that "It is natural for the heart and spirit to take pleasure and enjoyment in all things that show forth symmetry, harmony, and perfection" 33 does not find much resonance in the late twentieth century arts world, which tends to focus on expressions of dissonance, disharmony, incongruities, shapelessness, randomness, triviality, and/or ugliness. And who can blame artists, if their view is limited to what they see immediately around them? It is because Bahá'u'lláh has given Bahá'ís a vision of oneness that they feel impelled to transcend current views and trends and work out the expression of that vision through their artistic pursuits, at whatever level they may be able to do so.
Mark Tobey once wrote, "Of course we talk about international styles today, but I think later on we'll talk about universal styles...the future of the world must be this realization of its oneness, which is the basic teaching as I understand it in the Bahá'í Faith, and from that oneness, will naturally develop a new spirit in art, because that's what it is. It's a spirit and it's not new words and it's not new ideas only." 34 The healthy development of the arts in the Bahá'í world community is ample evidence that such a new spirit in art is in the process of formulating itself.

According to Danny Sullivan, founder and editor of SearchEngineWatch.com, published by INT Media Group Inc. in Darien, Connecticut, Google's success will ultimately come down to how well its relevancy technology can compete with that of newcomers like Teoma.com. Success will also depend on the company's ability to maintain its sparkling reputation.
Right now, it seems that everyone is singing Google's praises, from diehard Linux enthusiasts to advertisers like Eddie Bauer and Acura. The companies embrace Google's highly targeted advertising programs because its text-only format produces a much higher click-through rate than banner ads and are targeted based on users' searches. What became popular among Stanford students and a largely techie audience has snowballed, as Sullivan puts it, into a slew of fans from every walk of Internet life.
Noting there will be some worthy technological competition to come from the likes of Teoma, whose relevancy technology rivals that of Google, Sullivan says that a waning reputation can often hurt a company. "People always want to know what the hottest thing is, and what they don't want to know is that the hottest thing is the same it was yesterday," he says. In Sullivan's opinion, the company's dedication to Internet search is what makes it stand out from the rest. Says Sullivan: "Google has been good in rolling out new features. Even if the press doesn't want to keep writing about Google, it's not necessarily writing about Google when it writes about the Google Image Search engine.
"I don't think they [do it] just because they know they need to keep press attention. I think they come up with it because they care about search. That's what's going to carry them through more than anything else."
It's hard to argue with that. With everything from Google's PageRank system, which ranks an individual page's value, to availability on WAP-ready phones and Palm Pilots, it's obvious Brin and Page care about what they're doing. "We have a long-term goal of creating the ultimate search engine--one that would understand exactly what users mean and give back exactly what users want," says Page.
In the meantime, they work toward their goal in a pleasant, kick-back work environment. Google's Mountain View headquarters houses an arcade machine with games built by a Google engineer, a piano in the lobby, lava lamps, a gym with locker rooms, and PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast diversions. And to top it off, there are three full-time chefs who cook lunch and dinner. A sample menu includes creamy tomato basil soup with grilled free range chicken followed by a pumpkin cheesecake with walnut crust for dessert.
Sound like the glory days that sent most dotcoms into a downward spiral? "These things aren't that expensive, and they make me happy, which is important," jokes Brin. More seriously, though, he says,"We try to provide an environment where people are going to be happy. I think that's a much better use of money than, say, hundred-million-dollar marketing campaigns or outrageously inflated salaries."
Apart from the opportunities, it was the air of good times that made Ray Sidney join the team back when there were only four people at the company. Sidney admits the intimate feel has changed a bit now that the company has 270-plus employees. Certain protocols are now more necessary than they once were, and the company's structure is more defined. But it sure makes for a more exciting hockey game in the parking lot.
Despite its rapid growth, Google is still a place where CEO Eric Schmidt always leaves his door open, and where the co-founders hit the puck alongside engineers. Because its good name has prompted major portals like Yahoo! and international corporate sites like MarthaStewart.com and Cisco Systems to choose Google services. And because targeted advertising pulls in Google revenue, the company has never had to cut back on hiring. In fact, it's hiring "the best"--be it university faculty for the research division to engineers with doctrates in computer science--that has helped Google advance so quickly. Says Brin, "We look for diversity and talent--both implementation talent, idea talent and more science vs. engineering talent."
Somehow you can just look at the Google logo and know it's run by passionate and fun-loving folk, and that the heart of the company is true. It's the way Sergey Brin and Larry Page decided things were going to be from the beginning. "There are situations now as an executive-hiring people, firing people, ethical quandaries and things you run into where you have to define yourself as a person," says Brin. "I found it's important to set a high standard early and follow it, which we did. That's how you develop trust with your colleagues and companies you work with--and that's how you maintain a really good reputation."

Smart devices require a significant shift in thinking
This blog explores how to design smart devices. But these new devices are just so new and require such new insights, that our quaint, old school notions of UX design are completely blinding us. We are stuck between the classic paradigm of desktop computers, and the futuristic fantasy of smart dust. The world is either fastidious or fantastic. The path ahead is hard to see. Alan Kay said the best way to predict the future is to invent it… but what if we don't know what we want?

History of Tow Trucks
Wreckers, Breakdown trucks, Recovery Trucks and Tow Trucks all came from Earnest Holmes Senior of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Holmes invented the tow truck after he had to tow a vehicle out of a river using sixe men, ropes and wood. Due to the complexity of this, the tow truck idea was born and then manufactured by Holmes.
There are many different types of towing equipment that are affixed to different cab and chassis. The boom or Heavy Duty Tow Truck is used for large accidents such as tractor-trailer rollovers or getting a vehicle that fell into an inaccessible ditch. The Heavy Duty Jerr-Dan 60 Ton Rotator extends its boom out to 43 feet at a 50-degree elevation. The boom can lift 24,600 pounds and can rotate 225 degrees while lifting 53,000 pounds; which is 7,000 pounds more than a typical steel coil.
Many wreckers and car carriers utilize Wheel- Lifts. These are basically large L shaped pieces of metal that come out of the back of the tow truck and suck in the tires of the vehicle being towed. The hydraulics then lifts the vehicle up off the ground so it can be towed.
The flat bed or car carrier or rollback is put onto a cab and chassis set up. This allows for the cab and chassis to have a bed that hydraulically moves up and down, and declines to ground level. This is all done easily with a winch that is operated on the side of the truck.
The wrecker goes by self-loader, snatcher, quick pic or repo truck. The boom and wheel lift are put onto a cab and chassis. This is typically put on a light or medium duty truck. The length of the tow truck allow for it to get into tight areas in the city and easily hook trucks quickly.
Many styles of tow trucks are available to customize. An experienced tow truck dealer with an excellent service shop and tow truck parts department can pretty much customize any tow truck to meet your ideal application needs.

Why Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp could lead to an era of hyper-targeting
Stephen Pirrie, social strategy director at AnalogFolk London (below), examines what Facebook hopes to achieve with its headline-grabbing acquisition of WhatsApp.
Facebook has agreed to buy WhatsApp in a deal potentially worth $19bn (£11bn). The appeal is clear: the instant messaging network now boasts 450m monthly users, with 1m new users registering and half a billion photos being shared every day.
"WhatsApp is on a path to connect 1bn people. The services that reach that milestone are all incredibly valuable," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an official statement.
"WhatsApp is the only widely used app we've ever seen that has more engagement and a higher percent of people using it daily than Facebook itself."
The acquisition is the largest in the company's history, dwarfing the $1bnpurchase of Instagram in 2012. But with no established model for monitisation, speculation is rife as to the future of the platform in its new guise.
Younger users
The issue may run even deeper than that. It is no secret that Facebook are struggling to maintain the interests of younger users, as their preferences tend increasingly towards instant messaging services. Not only is there no established model, but traditional ad rollout seems incongruous with the nature of the platform.
Jan Koum has been a passionate detractor of advertising rollouts in the past, calling them a "disruption of aesthetics".
Zuckerburg addressed the issue directly stating, "I don't personally think ads are the right way to monetize messaging." It's not difficult to imagine any branded interruptions to private messaging sending users running for the hills, and into the arms of numerous competing services. The highly personal nature of these interactions doesn't leave much space for brands to squeeze into.
Co-Founder and CEO Jan Koum has been a passionate detractor of advertising rollouts in the past, calling them a, "disruption of aesthetics," "insults to your intelligence," and an "interruption of your train of thought".
The acquisition does not appear to have changed his mind, stating in yesterday's post that, "You can still count on absolutely no ads interrupting your communication. There would have been no partnership between our two companies if we had to compromise on the core principles that will always define our company, our vision and our product."
Progressive brands
However, interruptive advertising is no longer the first thing that comes to mind when progressive brands consider social media.
Engaging users has overtaken straight up advertising for some time. The big opportunity around messaging apps for brands is that their user profile can send push messages directly to fans' phones, where they are notified. It takes subscribing to a brand far beyond the personal intimacy that the 'likes' or 'follows' of other social platforms deliver. In fact, a few brands have already engaged users successfully on WhatsApp. This is primarily due to the nature the limited feature set of the service.
WhatsApp enables one-to-one or group messaging along with the ability to send images, video, audio, contact info and current location data. These are hard spaces for brands to currently infiltrate. Brands that have used it have set up personas. Absolut in
Meanwhile, Israeli chocolate brand Klik set up a user profile and played a version of 'Simon Says' with fans.
Uncluttered format
If WhatsApp stay true to its promise, then maybe Zuckerburg sees a more data-led opportunity to monetise the service.
As brands become publishers, this feature become ever more relevant. WeChat even allows Chinese users to connect their bank accounts directly to their WeChat profile to play games such as Lucky Money (effectively microgambling).
However, if WhatsApp stay true to its promise of "No Ads! No games! No gimmicks!", then maybe Zuckerburg sees a more data-led opportunity to monetise the service. If users' chats in WhatsApp began to inform the ads or content you are exposed to on Facebook or Instagram, then that might constitute a decent return on investment. Instagram has started to operate a similar system as stated in their ad Q&As.
It's not too much of a stretch to imagine WhatsApp asking users to link to their Facebook profiles before the end of the year, and once that connection is established, WhatsApp could well lead to an era of hyper-targeting. How users would perceive such synergy is another issue entirely.

Music - Sachin-Jigar, Lyrics - Priya Panchal
Ramaiya Vastavaiya marks the acting debut of producer Kumar Taurani's son, Girish Kumar who'll be seen opposite Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan's daughter, Shruti Haasan in it. The film projects itself as a light hearted rom-com and it's time to see whether its soundtrack complements its mood!
Jeene Laga Hoon sung by Atif Aslam and Shreya Ghoshal is the quintessential falling in love song with Atif adding to its appeal with his inherently yearning vocals and Shreya bringing softness to the track. It's got a 'heard it before' feel to it in parts but should easily manage to connect with its audience.
Next up is the obligatory Bhangra track Hip Hop Pammi which is more synth dominated than the regular instruments associated with the genre. Mika is lively as usual but is somewhat let down by the music and the obvious shortage of lyrics in the track. Moreover, Monali looks like a situational addition to the song as she's got very little to sing in it.
Bairiyaa starts off beautifully as a soft romantic number and loses just a bit of its charm during its build up. Still this Atif Aslam - Shreya Ghoshal number manages to touch you with its sense of tenderness and yearning.
Peecha Chhute by is a peppy number with percussions and guitars dominating its proceedings but doesn't really manage to leave an impression. This time the music lets down Mohit Chauhan for a change.
Rang Jo Lagyo is yet another Atif Aslam-Shreya Ghoshal number but is different from the others in its soaring rendition and 'rock song' like instrumentation. However, the arrangement is quite inconsistent at places in this more or less ordinary track.
Jadoo ki Jhappi tries hard to be a celebratory, fun filled number but turns out to be a below average one thanks to the collective failure of its music, lyrics and singers, Mika and Neha Kakkar to come together in a meaningful way. We have no idea why this song has got a remix version!
With only two songs managing to leave an impression on you, the soundtrack of Ramaiya Vastavaiya is somewhat of a disappointment. We're giving 1.75 stars out of 5 to this album.

A SAK, some duck tape, maybe a paperclip and all of sudden, MacGyver has a fully functional plane in his possession. MacGyver may have been the ultimate sensei when it came to SAK uses and surprisingly enough, he even showed us a few creative ways to use the trusty tool-filled companion. Maybe he can give you a few ideas for the next time you get into a bind.
Season 1 Episode 10 - Cuts reeds into breathing tubes
Starts at 22:15
Later creates a blowgun
Season 2 Episode 2 - Repairs a post mix soda gun by bleeding off some built-up carbon dioxide that has caused a valve to stick. He takes off the button panel of the soda gun, removes the troubled valve spindle (both with his Swiss Army knife) and inserts a miniature pirate's sword from a plate of olives.
Season 2 Episode 3 - Cuts the fire hose with his Swiss army knife, ties the nozzle end to the door, the other end to the hand rail, and lays the hose very flat against the ground so the elevator's doors won't close on it.
Season 2 Episode 4 - Removes a crystal out of his watch with his SAK and holds it so a fine point of light is focused at the fuse's end to light it.
Starts at 1:00
Season 2 Episode 21 - Fixes a boy's bicycle with a nameplate, a screw and his Swiss knife.
Season 3 Episode 3 - Escapes from two mafia hit men using a fire hose to slide down a metal wire. First cut off with his Swiss army knife of course.
Season 4 Episode 4 – Fixes a typewriter, from which the pin that holds the ribbon has broken off, with the ink cartridge from a ballpoint pen. He uses the ink cartridge to rethread the ribbon, as well as to hold it back in place, and then cuts the cartridge down to size with his Swiss Army knife.
Season 4 Episode 9 - SAK used to released wire set to trigger Pete's deathtrap.
Starts at 0:49
Season 4 Episode 11 - Uses the tweezers from his Swiss Army knife in order to pick the lock of the other motel room.
Season 4 Episode 18 - Hot-wires an elevator by simply holding his Swiss army knife between two cords in the control box on top of the elevator.

Ok for cutting off the front grip here's what you'll need.
1. A steady hand.
2. A Dremel Rotary Tool
3. A bench grinder, or a sander of some sort.
1. Remove the bolts, and open up the gun.
2. All internals must be removed.
3. Take one half of the reciever, and cut into it using the dremel. Cut across so the cut is lined up with the flat bottom of the reciever.
4. Repeat step 3 for the other half.
5. Put the reciever halfs back together, Dont put internals back in yet. And take it to the bench grinder or a sander. (this is not mandatory, just smoothes the cut out.
6. Take the reciever aparp again, oil up internals, (if needed) and put it all back together. Your Done!
If you are going to add a Weaver rail like I am, you will also need a tapping kit.
Well I couldnt find a decent tapping kit, so I JB Welded the rail directly to one half of the body. It isn't as nice, but it works perfectly.
Hope to see many of you enjoy this mod.
Good Luck!
Stuff needed with internals removed:
After (haven't sanded it down yet, and the weaver rail is not on yet)

Pastoral Leadership
Pastors provide leadership in many ways as they shepherd God's people. Besides being the congregation's spiritual leader, pastors plan, organize, coordinate, and train others. They also assist the congregation in setting a vision and carrying it out. Various agencies provide opportunities for WELS pastors to grow in their various leadership skills. Read about opportunities for growth in pastoral leadership.
Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary provides a variety of ways for pastors to grow as leaders. Courses addressing aspects of leadership are available during the on-campus Summer Quarter, online, and locally through Pastor's Institutes. Leadership MPT, taught by E. Allen Sorum, will be offered as a 1.5 credit course June 17 – 21 at WLS.
Additional leadership courses available include Pastoral Leadership; The Ministry and the Law of the Land, Pastoral Leadership: Planning, Organizing, and Working; and Pastoral Leadership for Challenging Times and Situations. For a complete listing of the seminary's leadership courses and their descriptions, visit the WLS Grow in Grace website.
Congregation and Ministry Support Group
CMSG units provide leadership training in various specially targeted areas. Some of these are detailed below.
The School of Outreach
…is provided by the WELS Commission on Evangelism and District Evangelism Commissions. The program serves congregations of WELS with planning, assistance, and resources for congregational evangelism programming and implementation of outreach strategies. Called workers and lay leaders of congregations attend two one-day sessions. Trained School of Outreach staffs assist these church leaders with developing or enhancing their congregations' organization for evangelism, formation and implementation of outreach strategies, a program for managing their prospect lists, and training their membership in the principles of personal evangelism. More information is available on the Evangelism Website.
Schools of Worship Enrichment
These weekends sponsored by the Commission on Worship are not merely ministry training for pastors and musicians but also leadership training. Lay leaders are expected to attend along with pastors and musicians. The events help congregational leaders to see possibilities, to set priorities and goals, and to involve others in enriching that aspect of parish life that drives and enriches all others. Please see the SoWE Website for more information.
Youth Ministry Enhancement
The Commission of Youth and Family Ministry offers help to create a vision for youth ministry that will work in any congregation. The Youth Ministry Enhancement program (Y-Me) provides tools to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the youth ministry being done as well as ideas to help congregations improve ministry to their youth. For more information about Y-Me, contact your CYFM district coordinator. A roster and contact information is available at the CYFM Website.

Naki'o is the first dog in the world with four prosthetic legs. His start to life was difficult but he triumphed over the adversity and always with a positive attitude and love in his heart. As a puppy, Naki'o and his litter mates were left in a foreclosed home in the winter. Naki'o was found frozen to a puddle and suffered severe frostbite that took his paws on all four legs, part of his tail, nose and ear. He also suffered from mange and was malnourished. Naki'o has turned his hardships into a an inspirational story as being dubbed the "bionic dog", now, having four prosthetic legs. He uses his inspirational story to educate around the world that animals with disABILITIES are no longer thought of as disposable but rather that a disABILITY is just a word and not a lifestyle. Naki'o is also the inspiration and spokesdog behind his owner starting Nakio's Underdog Rescue which is a 501c3 non-profit rescue who's mission is "to rescue dogs and cats with disabilities, to find loving homes for them, and to provide resources and education to help adopters better understand and provide for their pets' disabilities." Naki'o raises awareness for disABLED animals everywhere he goes and shows the public that disABLED animals live life to the fullest, have positive attitudes and are often the very inspirational beings that help other's through hardships in their lives.

Good morning, Ladies and happy Wednesday! We are half-way through another week
GTKY - While pregnant, what was your crazy (or normal) food cravings and what food(s) did your LO make you stay away from?!
Starting my 2nd trimester, I craved lucky charms every morning and I never really ate them before except for the marshmallows! Also, at 8 months I started craving a big glass of chocolate milk and HAD to have one every morning until he was born
There really wasn't any one food that disgusted me. I'm a popcorn-a-holic normally, but while pregnant I just didn't have any desire to eat it, but it didn't make me sick or anything. So, I guess that's my aversion!
GTKYC- What's LO's favorite food these days and what food won't he eat?
I'm not sure Parker really has a specific food that he loves, he pretty much loves almost everything EXCEPT for Tuna Fish! He couldn't spit that out fast enough! He loves all fruits, all veggies and all types of yogurts so far and he eats chicken and beef. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say the yogurt drops. He LOVES snacking on them!
I craved chocolate, boneless wings and icees for the majority of the pregnancy then it was ice cream for about the last month.
I couldn't even look at anything that was made from pig. Which was hard because SD(9) and DS(7) love hot dogs and

The Daily Troll: 520 bridge, Take 2. Onions not only Walla Walla stink. Police & city finally agree on something.
A very bad trip
A fire in the Sea-Tac Airport garage destroyed at least eight cars and damaged 10 others today. According to KIRO 7 News, the fire appeared to have been caused by a mechanical problem in a BMW or Prius on the north end of the garage's sixth floor. Officials said cars are often parked there for several days mid-week while business people are traveling. Now there's a surprise you don't want to return to.
Police, city finally agree on something
The city and the Seattle Police Officers Guild this afternoon announced a tentative deal for a four-year contract that would ensure Seattle officers remain the highest paid in the state. The guild agreed to drop its legal challenge to changes in police practices on use of force implemented under an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, according to a Seattle Times report.
Nobody was saying immediately how much the wage increases will be. In a statement, City Council public safety chair Bruce Harrell said officers haven't received a raise since 2010. He also had this line: "We demand a lot from our police department and I have faith in their ability to meet and succeed our expectations." As in, expectations for keeping things calm on the streets, say, tomorrow (May Day)?
Bike to Work month
Bike Month's Commute Challenge will start on Wednesday, so expect to see more spring-inspired bikers on the way to work. Various events will highlight biking in Bellevue and Everett and biking to school. The Cascade Bike Blog has the details.
Onions not the only Walla Walla stink
Sen. Mike Hewitt's co-sponsorship of a bill to allow business owners to discriminate based on religious beliefs has drawn fury from what Western Washingtonians might consider an unlikely source: his hometown of Walla Walla. As a Walla Walla Union-Bulletin story reports, part of the concern came from offensive remarks by a staffer. Asked how gays in a rural area could get along if the sole nearby grocer or service station refused them service, the aide reportedly suggested they'd have to grow their own food. Eastern Washington tourism officials were privately treating the situation as an emergency. The paper reported widespread calls for a boycott and heavy criticism from tourism-dependent businesses.
As the paper noted, it's ironic that Walla Walla is also home to profile-in-courage Republican Rep. Maureen Walsh, who cast a key vote for gay marriage last year. Double irony: Hewitt and his staff were cowardly failing to return any of the local paper's calls or emails.
520, Take 2
The Washington State Department of Transportation said "the second cycle of new pontoons" for the new Highway 520 floating bridge is en route from the Aberdeen casting yard. The first set, if you recall as WSDOT surely does, turned out to have a costly ($100 million) problem with cracks. Maybe it's a good sign that WSDOT is trying to be transparent in announcing milestones now. And, hey, at least in the video below, the pontoons float.

According to reporting in the Tacoma News Tribune, http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/05/01/2579683/bmw-blamed-for-fire-at-sea-tac.html officials have determined the Sea-Tac garage fire started with a BMW, not a Prius. Still, the Trib report associated the Prius with lithium ion batteries and fire risk, when in fact, the vast majority of Prius vehicles do not have lithium ion batteries in them; that kind of battery is only in the new, plug-in Prius cars. There have been no reports of fires from factory-installed batteries in a Prius, except for some caught in the rising flood of salt water during Hurricane Sandy.

Which games should I watch this weekend?
What games should you watch TODAY would be the better question. Though there's only one. Borussia 'Gladbach vs Bayern to hail the return of the Bundesliga today at 2:30 PM EST.
On Saturday, it's FA Cup day, so…um. Let;s see. Um. Well, have a look yourselves.
Elsewhere, there's stuff. Lazio Juve at 2:45 PM should be fun in Serie A
On Sunday, Monaco plays Marseille in Ligue 1 at 3:00 PM, and Hellas Verona minus Luca Toni faces Roma at 6:30 AM. And…well, yeah. Some other games on too. Barca vs Malaga at 3:00 PM in La Liga?
What's the big story?
Arsene Wenger believes things. He believes that Chelsea's decision to sell Juan Mata to Man United is maybe not cool:
"He [Mourinho] sums up what Chelsea's thinking is," Wenger said, with regard to Mata. Wenger stressed that Chelsea had done nothing wrong but it was clear that he felt they had sought to manipulate the market.
"I am surprised because Juan Mata is a great player and they sell a great player to a direct opponent," Wenger said. "It opens [up] again a little bit the opportunity of this transfer market because Chelsea had already played twice against Man United so they don't play again. They could have sold him last week [before the United game].
"It opens, at least, the opportunity of the dates of this transfer window. Some teams have already played twice against one opponent and some others, not. If you want to respect the fairness for everybody exactly in the game, that should not happen. I just think you would want everybody on the same level. I can understand completely what Chelsea is doing. They do not do the rules but, maybe, the rules should be a bit more adapted to more fairness."
I'm not sure whether it's more strange Chelsea sold a winger to an ostensible rival, or that more clubs don't take advantage of the arbitrary nature of the January window. But this notion of 'gentleman's agreements' in a business involving hundreds of millions, if not billions of pounds, is disingenuous. Crowing in another club's transfer business to make an argument about an allotted period for transfer business smacks of…voyeurism? Jk.
Any other news?
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers still believes, somehow, the Chelsea bound Mohamed Salah will still go to Liverpool.
Juan Mata gets ready for his United medical today, so we're to believe that rumours of a Chelsea stall are false? Okay.
Sandro Rosell resigns as Barca president, and there are theories as to why and what's next amid a court hearing over the Neymar transfer which might have been a giant embezzlement scheme.
Wes Brown feels no sympathy for Man United after League Cup loss to Sunderland. Why would he? He doesn't play for them anymore, dummies.
Any fun stuff?
On this day in football:
Any good reads?
Kristian Jack is great on Man United's 'biggest test':
Hung in the Stretford End of Old Trafford is a large banner with the face of David Moyes on it saying 'The Chosen One.' The appointment of Moyes came via the approval of Sir Alex Ferguson and that was supposed to be enough for United and their fans. However, no matter how much patience United fans show Moyes it will always come with a caveat; just how good a manager is he?
Having won nothing, it is a legitimate question. Manchester United may well be proven right in not hiring a Jose Mourinho or Guus Hiddink, for example, last summer but had they hired a manager with a track record of success, their current failures would have solely been attributed to the players.

Sheriff's Deputy pulls in two.
A Sheriff's Deputy pulled his gun and ordered two men to the ground this morning according to an eyewitness.
The incident occurred just after 9:00 this morning at the corner of Golden Triangle and Reuther Ave.
No word from the Sheriff's Department just yet on why the Deputy was detaining the men.
And in other Sheriff's news, a Canyon Country man died from head trauma, after getting out of the car, while still moving. He and the female driver were arguing, and he had asked her to let him out.
She slowed down, and he opened the door and started to exit. He fell, and hit his head on the asphalt, suffering major head trauma. He was then transported to Henry Mayo Hospital where he died as a result of his injuries.

A leading English language news outlet in the Middle East is reporting the owner of the legendary QE2 has settled on South Africa as the new home for the ship -- at least temporarily.
Abu Dhabi-based The National reports Middle East developer Nakheel has confirmed its intent to temporarily move the world famous Cunard ocean liner from Dubai to Cape Town, South Africa.
"After months of feasibility studies, it is clear that Cape Town, with her ready made berthing facilities, provides the best opportunity for us to open QE2 to visitors as quickly as possible," the company says today in a statement given to The National.
ALSO ONLINE:Carnival passenger faces murder charges after death on ship
ALSO ONLINE:Soon-to-debut Celebrity ship fends off measles outbreak
DEBATE:Does river cruising beat ocean cruising as a way to travel?
Just this past weekend Nakheel was saying it was looking at a number of options for the recently retired QE2 including moving it to other locations in the Middle East as well as South Africa.
Nakheel bought the 40-year-old, 1,777-passenger vessel for around $100 million with the intention of turning it into a luxury hotel and museum in Dubai, but the plans have been put on hold in recent months as the economic downturn has taken a toll on the once high-flying city. The ship, which retired in November, currently is languishing at Dubai's downtown Port Rashid.
Nakheel tells The National the QE2's move to Cape Town would be for 18 months.
