Lotus has undertaken a strategic review of its position to decide what course of action would be in the best interests of IndyCar and the teams it supports.
The 2012 Beijing International Auto Show kicks off today, and Lotus Cars is showing off its full model range for the first time, including a very special supercar that's been custom-made for China.

13.5" crank to top tube center.
Rigid cromo frame, Ritchey dropouts.
7spd rear, late 90s early 2000s LX (22/34 I think) crank w/bashgaurd.
Trigger rear, thumby front.
LX rear hub laced to a 36h D521.
LX front hub laced to a 36h Rhyno Lite.
Short cage derailluer.
Road like cassette.
Avid SD 2.0 v-brakes with Avid levers (FR-5?).

I forget the rest.
The guy I got it from set it up for trials, hence the sturdyness The only things I've replaced are the brakes and the rear shifter.
The bike is well used, but solid as a rock. Between all the bikes and other stuff I do I just don't ride it anymore.
$150.00, and $25.00 of it goes to NEMBA!

Attorney Andrew Keeney
Kaufman & Canoles, P.C.
Credit Unions and their members confront on a daily basis with social media.
A hot topic for credit unions is social media, but it has its risks, especially potential consumer risks. There are marketing and advertising issues. There are privacy issues. Add to the significant risk areas the effort to deal with compliance risks and legal risks, along with reputation risks and privacy rights. Our speaker; Andy Keeney, a nationally recognized credit union attorney believes that the biggest risk is a credit union's reputation risk. With just one poor review or negative comment on social media, years of a credit union's success can be undermined. Come and learn more about these compliance risks and what steps your credit union can undertake to minimize the risks.
About Andrew Keeney, Kaufman and Canoles, P.C.
Andy currently serves as the General Counsel for numerous credit unions, he is an approved and preferred special counsel for several credit union insurance companies and has been a specially retained attorney by NCUA.

One sixty two and 131
milwaukee brewers October 4th, 2012
I don't know why exactly, but I liked the 2012 Milwaukee Brewers more than I liked the 2011 Brewers. I can't explain it.
The success of last season probably helped, I believe they could do it more this year because they almost did it last year. They should have done it last year, so they will do it this year. That was the logic at least. I'm sure Ryan Braun's ordeal had something to do with it too. I've always liked Ryan Braun as a baseball player, but the offseason really made me defensive over him as a person. When someone says "u kno braun failed that test cuz he had dat herp rite dude?" it pisses me off. SHUT THE HELL UP, I say. ("but d00d i kno this chick and she like has it too and she boned him" they'll say, but I won't listen because people who know people who openly, almost proudly say that they have STDs and brag about having sex with celebrities are not to be trusted. They are frickin' nutso.) He said he didn't, we should believe him. He said he didn't do anything wrong, we should believe him. He was cleared of the charges, we should drop it. ET CETERA. Plus, the general newness of the roster probably helped a lot too. Everybody likes playing with new toys. Japanese outfielder? I always wanted one of those! Thanks mom!
Whatever the reason I liked this team a lot. A lot, a lot and they repaid me by breaking my heart. Thanks for that one guys. Read the rest of this entry »

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

Thanksgiving Drunkstravaganza
Off-Base November 25th, 2009
I love Thanksgiving so, so very much. It combines a few of my favorite pastimes: overeating, drinking heavily, not doing anything, punching family members in the face. If we could figure out a way to transfer Thanksgiving to the parking lot at Miller Park in mid-August this would be the greatest holiday of all. It still is (why? none of that whiny God shit), but that would make it just that much better like a finger in your asshole during a blowjob. I mean, ummm.... I just... uhh, ummm yeah. So ANYWAYS, Thanksgiving is awesome and I like to consider myself an expert in the holiday. Do I know how to cook turkey and do stuff with the gizard and whatnot? Fuck no. I know how to make this holiday legendary. I know how to turn Thanksgiving into Thanksfuckingyeahgiving. Want to have an awesome holiday? Tired of deciding to go to the movies because you are so bored? Tired of pretending to care about a Cowboys game or using mock outrage that you don't get the NFL Network? Miller Park Drunk is here to guide you through the greatest holiday of them all. Read the rest of this entry »

If you want to monitor or track your fitness and diet goals, using your smartphone is an ideal way to do it. Because your smartphone and apps are always with you, they are a constant reminder to check in on your progress, stay the course, and keep your motivation up. Whether you're trying to lose weight, or walk more steps in a day, or make time for a seven-minute power workout in your living room, fitness apps can help.
While some apps for fitness link you up with a community of people who cheer you on and send their support, others add a competitive edge to the process. With some fitness apps, you can compete for cold, hard cash (she who hits the gym most wins the pot). In others, the glory is in completing a run or bicycle ride segment in the shortest amount of time. One app featured in this list is actually a text-messaging robot who coaches you to make the healthy choice when faced with temptation. The options for support and motivation are endless.
Some of the apps highlighted here operate as tracking tools, in which you log your workouts or calories eaten, while others automate the tracking process for you while you're working out. Some are coaching apps that march you through a fitness routine, and others are a combination of all these things. Most of these apps can pair with an activity tracker to further help you keep an eye on your total fitness. But most important of all, the best fitness apps let you set your own goals and maintain a pace that's right for you.

Switzerland Redefines Three Day Weekend
The Swiss have officially redefined the meaning of "three-day weekend". Instead of nice and relaxing, they have created action packed and exciting by combining freestyle Moto-X, Vert Skateboarding, Freekiing and Snowboarding and they've labeled it Freestyle.ch. After three days of perfect weather, an amazing location at Zurich Lake, the best athletes in the world and a great crowd, it would be an understatement to say this event was successful… It went off!
There were over 46,000 people who crammed themselves in with one another to get a glimpse of the action. In Vert Skateboarding, Sandro Dias took a hold of first place and didn't let it go. While he was at it, he grabbed the cash and the hearts of all the girls watching.
Right after Sandro got everything warmed up, Oakley's Eero Ettala, Travis Rice and Swiss legend Nicolas Muller came in to cool things off. With Nicolas's amazing style and Eero's signature Switch Double Back-Flip, they gave 46,000 screaming fans a true taste of winter in the fall. At the end of the day it was Oakley's Eero Ettala who took home the title and the cash.
With the crowd's adrenal glands almost running dry, Oakley's Jacob Wester, Simon Dumont and Jon Olsson came in strong to drive it home and finish out an action packed weekend. But this weekend wouldn't be complete without getting autographs from all of your new favorite idols. In true rock star fashion, all the Oakley athletes were hanging outside of the Oakley O ROKR™ Tour Bus, trying to get a minute in with all the awesome fans that just spent three days cheering them on.
Next time you have a three day weekend and you don't know what to do, then do it all…or as the Swiss say, Freestyle.ch.

Consumer News Release
For immediate release -- August 1, 2001. Contact Bob Brammer, 515-281-6699
DES MOINES-- Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller announced today that his Consumer Protection Division has obtained judgments against the two owners of Central Avenue Gym in Fort Dodge, Iowa. On Monday, July 30, Webster County District Court Judge Kurt L. Wilke issued a Consent Judgment against one defendant, Ritalee Shapiro, and a Default Judgment against the other defendant, Andrea Lynn Lewis.
The state's lawsuit was filed on March 16, and alleged, among other things, that Shapiro and Lewis took in excess of $12,000 from Iowa consumers as prepayment for use of the "Central Avenue Gym" before the gym was open to the public and failed to either escrow the money or obtain a bond to protect consumer payments as required by Iowa law. The State's lawsuit also alleged violations of the physical exercise club law and the Consumer Fraud Act when some of the funds were applied for personal use and the gym was not opened on the dates promised when the memberships were sold. On the date the suit was filed, Judge Wilke granted the Attorney General's request for a Temporary Restraining Order preventing Shapiro and Lewis from accepting payment from consumers for the prepayment of physical exercise club contracts, and from spending any more of the money they had previously collected. At that time, the Judge also granted the Attorney General's request to freeze the bank account and other assets of the defendants in order to preserve resources necessary to restore consumers' money, if appropriate.
Under the Consent Judgment entered on Monday, Shapiro agreed to cancel all exercise club contracts and give refunds to all consumers who paid money for use on Central Avenue Gym. In addition, the Court permanently enjoined her from accepting any payments from consumers in the future regarding Central Avenue Gym, or any other facility before it opens, without complying with the escrow or bond requirement. In addition, she may not disperse any funds or other types of payment received from consumers without prior approval from the court or the Attorney General.
Shapiro also was enjoined from misrepresenting the availability, quality, or extent of facilities or services of a physical exercise club, and from accepting any money from consumers without either providing the service within the time frame she represented it would be provided, or promptly refunding that advance payment. The court imposed a civil penalty of $5000 on Shapiro, but provided that she is not required to pay the civil penalty so long as she complies with the court order.
Also on Monday, the court found Lewis in default for failing to file a response to the state's lawsuit. In his order, Judge Wilke issued a permanent injunction against Lewis under the same terms as the permanent injunction which applies to Shapiro. In addition, he also ordered that she be subject to a civil penalty of $5000 if she violates the court order and ordered her to pay the state's investigative costs and attorney fees, which totaled $6586.
Miller said that his office is continuing in its efforts to work with Shapiro as she cooperates in efforts to get refunds to consumers who paid Shapiro or Lewis any money in connection with Central Avenue Gym. Miller thanked Webster County Attorney Ron Robertson for his assistance in bringing the matter to the attention of Miller's Consumer Protection Division and assisting his staff with the prosecution of the case .

(designed to implement relevant recommendations of the "California Court Improvement Project Report")
The following model local rules are designed to implement relevant recommendations of the California Court Improvement Project Report.
Recommendation 1. Local juvenile courts should adopt case calendaring techniques that reduce waiting time for hearings.
Model rule 1: Whenever a child who is the subject of a dependency petition is present, his or her case shall take priority on the calendar and be heard first.
Model rule 2: Parties shall notify the court in writing if they intend to request a continuance, stating the reason for the continuance, whether or not they have discussed the nature of the continuance with the other parties, and the position of the other parties, if known.
Model rule 3: The judicial officer or his or her designee shall determine, prior to calling the calendar, the order in which the cases will be called. The judicial officer shall determine what principles should be used to prioritize cases so that waiting time for parties is minimized.
Model rule 4: Juvenile court cases take priority over all other cases heard in superior court. Judicial officers shall not require attorneys who are scheduled to appear in juvenile court on a given calendar day to appear in their courtroom on another case until the juvenile court matter is concluded.
Model rule 5: All cases requiring an interpreter shall be so indicated on the calendar so that the person calling the calendar can determine whether or not the interpreter is
present in advance of calling the case.
Model rule 6. All cases requiring transport of an in-custody parent shall be so indicated on the calendar. If it is known prior to the court day whether or not the institution will be
transporting the parent, then this information should be noted on the calendar if possible.
Model rule 7: Juvenile courts shall attempt to group earnings by hearing type and calendar them so as to minimize the time parties and other participants must wait.
Model rule 8. The juvenile court shall consider sanctions when an attorney is repeatedly late or does not appear on his or her case.
(Example of very specific model rule 8: Any attorney who is not present when his or her case is called shall file with the court a declaration stating the reason for lateness or
nonappearance. The court shall read and consider the declaration and determine whether or not the reason is justified. If the court finds that the reason is not justified,
then the attorney shall file a written apology to the court and all parties in the case, a copy of which shall be mailed to all the parties and their attorneys in the case. If an
attorney has three apologies filed with the court, then that attorney shall not be appointed to represent parties in juvenile court.)
Recommendation 2. Local juvenile courts should actively monitor the timeliness and quality of reports to the court. Judicial Officers shall hold parties accountable for late and incomplete reports.
Model rule: Reports relating to detention of a child who is the subject of a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code Section 300 shall be submitted to the court at least one hour prior to the detention hearing.
Detention reports may include police investigation reports, and shall provide the following:
(1) Information on how parties entitled to notice were notified of the hearing, or what attempts were made to locate and notify;
(2) A statement of the reasons the child was removed from the custody of the parent or guardian;
(3) A description of efforts to prevent the need for retention;
(4) A description of any services or means available to permit the child to be returned.
(5) A recommendation regarding the need for continued detention and a statement of the reasons for the recommendation;
(6) If continued detention is recommended:
(A) Information as to a mother or presumed father with whom the child was not residing at the time of the initial removal, or any relative who is able to provide adequate care of the child and is willing to assume temporary custody of the child;
(B) A description of the available services and referral methods the department can provide to the parent or guardian pending the next hearing.
(7) Whether or not continued detention is recommended:
(A) A request for any appropriate restraining orders, physical or mental health evaluations or immediate services;
(B) A recommendation for visitation with non-custodial family members and any others.
Recommendation 3: Local juvenile courts shall grant continuances only for good cause, stating the reasons on the record. Good cause does not include "stipulation by the parties." Courts should adopt appropriate procedures and local rules to ensure that attorneys are on time for hearings or will notify the
court when they are going to be late.
Model Rule:
(a) [Cases petitioned under section 300 (Sect. 352)]
(1) The courts shall not continue a hearing beyond the time set by statute unless the court determines the continuance is not contrary to the interests of the child. In considering the child's interests, the court shall give substantial weight to a child's needs for stability and prompt resolution of custody status, and the damage of prolonged temporary placements.
(2) Continuances shall be granted only on a showing of good cause, and only for the time shown to be necessary. Stipulation between counsel of parties, convenience of
parties and pending criminal or family law matters are not in and of themselves good cause.
(3) If a child has been removed from the custody of a parent or guardian, the court shall not grant a continuance that would cause the disposition hearing under section 361 to be completed more than 60 days after the detention hearing unless the court finds exceptional circumstances. In no event shall the disposition hearing be continued more
than six months after the detention hearing.
(4) In order to obtain a continuance, written notice with supporting documents shall be filed and served on all parties at least two court days prior to the date set for hearing, unless the court finds good cause for hearing an oral motion.
(5) The court shall state on its order the facts requiring any continuance that is granted.
Recommendation 5: Local juvenile courts should hold the first post-disposition review within three months of the completion of the disposition for children
under the age of three at time of initial removal.
Model Rule: If a child was under the age of three years on the date of the child's initial removal, and at a disposition hearing the child was declared a dependent, the court
assumed custody, and reunification services were ordered, the court shall schedule a hearing within 90 days after disposition to review the participation of the parent or
guardian in the reunification plan. At that hearing, the court shall advise the parent or guardian that at the review to be held six months from the disposition hearing, the court
may terminate reunification services if the parent or guardian has failed to participate regularly in court ordered treatment. At the 90 day review the court may make additional orders for services to facilitate reunification.
Recommendation 9: The child's attorney (or the court, when the child does not have an attorney) shall give notice of the hearing to the child and should ensure
that the child is given an opportunity to attend if he or she wishes.
Model Rule 1 : All children four years or older that are the subject of a juvenile court hearing shall be interviewed regarding their wish to attend court hearings (except
detention) no less than 10 days before each hearing. The child shall be questioned regarding their reasons for desiring to attend the hearing and a declaration shall be
submitted to the court and all parties no less than 5 days before the hearing stating whether or not the child chooses to attend the hearing and whether or not the interviewer recommends that the child be present and state their reasons. If the child chooses to attend the hearing, and the interviewer recommends attendance by the child, the social worker shall ensure that he/she is present. In cases where the child is represented the interviewer shall be the attorney.
Model Rule 2: The social worker shall notify the child of the detention hearing and determine his/her wish to attend the hearing. The social worker shall submit a declaration to the court with his/her recommendation regarding the child's attendance. If the child chooses to attend the hearing, and the interviewer recommends attendance by the child, the social worker shall ensure that he/she is present.

Recommendation 13: The local juvenile courts should ensure that a single judicial officer hears all phases of a dependency case (direct calendaring), including adoptions, and whenever possible hears sibling cases together on the same date.
Model rule: The juvenile court shall adopt direct calendaring. Each juvenile court case, from the initial hearing through dismissal, shall be heard by the same judicial officer. Whenever possible, all siblings' cases shall be calendared together and heard by the same judicial officer.
Recommendation 14: Local juvenile courts should set and complete longer matters in a continuous proceeding. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Model rule: Attorneys for parties shall provide accurate time estimates for contested hearings. The court shall calendar sufficient time for the contested hearing (e.g. two
consecutive days. The court shall seek the cooperation of other juvenile court departments to make calendar time available to cover uncontested matters so that contest will proceed uninterrupted. Attorneys should arrange their calendars to accommodate consecutive court sessions for contested matters.
The court should seek the cooperation of other juvenile officers to give priority to juvenile dependency matters that are already in trial, and to excuse counsel for parties in the dependency from appearances in other forums; or at least expedite their appearances so the dependency matters can resume as soon as possible.
Recommendation 17: Presiding superior court judges should assign judicial officers to the juvenile court to serve for a minimum of three years. Priority
should be given to judges who have expressed a willingness to actively participate in juvenile court.
Model rule: The Presiding Superior Court Judge shall assign judicial officers to the juvenile court to serve for a minimum of three years. The Presiding Superior Court
Judge shall ensure that adequate staff and space will be afforded judicial officers who receive the assignment. As the role of the juvenile court judge combines judicial,
administrative, collaborative, and advocacy skills, these shall all be considerations in making the assignment. Priority shall be given to judicial officers who express a strong desire to actively participate in the juvenile court system.
Recommendation 19D: Local juvenile courts should encourage advocates for children and parents to be present at the first court appearance.
Model Rule 1: Local courts shall adopt a system by which legal representation is available at all hearings, including detention hearings, to accept representation and
advocate for a child and/or parent who request legal representation. The social services agency shall submit all available pre-hearing discovery to the court with the
filing of the petition. The court shall ensure that all attorneys are noticed of the availability of discovery upon its receipt. Local courts should call its calendar such that
cases need not be continued more than (24) twenty-four hours for a party to obtain and consult with legal representation.
Recommendation 22: All California courts should establish or continue interagency meetings on dependency case processing. For larger courts, with
more than one FTE judge/commissioner hearing dependency cases, these meetings should be held monthly, focusing primarily on dependency case
processing. For courts with less than one FTE judge hearing dependency cases, the meetings could be held quarterly and include all juvenile case processing
issues. Although these meetings should maintain an informal atmosphere that encourages open communication among the participants, a formal agenda should be prepared for discussion and caseflow and caseload data should be presented by the court, DSS, and other interested agencies.
Model Rule: The Presiding Judge or the Supervising Judge of the Juvenile Court shall arrange for regularly scheduled meetings of representatives of the agencies involved in
dependency cases. The meetings shall encourage open communication and discussion and focus on procedural, calendaring, and service issues.
NEW Recommendation 28: There shall be a ratio of Juvenile Court Judges to Judicial Officers that takes into consideration the size of the county and the
juvenile dependence case load of the county.
Model Rule: The ratio of Juvenile Court Judges to Judicial Officers hearing juvenile cases shall not fall below 1:1 unless the caseload of the county does not warrant more
than one judicial officer.

The team is (21-29) on the season and has won its last two games, but owner Tom Gores ordered the firing on Sunday morning, saying his team is "underachieving". Assistant John Loyer will take over the team on Monday when they host the San Antonio Spurs at the Palace.

I love it when the Spring-Summer collection arrives in store, it means warmer days are on their ways, bringing with them an array of brightly coloured accessories and clothes. Our SS13 collection, "Very MCM in Monaco" is absolutely filled with cheery colour pops, super bright bags in our classic shapes. Best of both worlds.
I had a look today on Wardow to see which bags would be the first to take my fancy. It was really hard to decide as to me they looked like as many deliciously tempting candies in a candy store. I am a real magpie when it comes to colourful accessories, so this collection might well be the end of me. After much hesitation, I managed to come up with my top three favourites for the season - they are all brand new versions of some classics I love: the Nuovo L in a sunny yellow, the First Lady Croco in electric blue and the First Lady Satchel in candy pink.
My absolute favourite, if I had to pick just one to purchase is the yellow Nuovo L satchel (which I have in blue). Isn't it glorious?
Before I leave you, I would like to share a little tip with you to help you navigate the new online stock... and recognise what's in the SS13 collection and what's in the AW12 one. Have a look at the image below and you will know how to make sense of the product codes :)
Traduction - La collection printemps ete est a present disponible sur Wardow, mes favoris sont le Nuovo L en jaune, le First Lady croco en bleu electrique et le First Lady satchel en rose bonbon.

- Notes on the biology of the unidentified invasive harvestman Leiobunum sp. (Arachnida: Opiliones) (2011)
- Since about the year 2000 an unidentified, introduced harvestman of the genus Leiobunum has been rapidly invading Europe. The published records are from the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A population of Leiobunum sp. in the Netherlands was studied frequently during the day and night. Its life cycle, hunting strategy, diet and accompanying harvestman species were recorded, and mating, male-male fights and ovipositing behaviour studied, as well as the spider species preying on this Leiobunum species. Food items were collected, indicating that its food consists of a wide range of live as well as dead invertebrates including spent spider prey scavenged for at ground level. Vegetable matter like berries, as well as bird droppings were also consumed. The mating strategy is very complex. A male guards an egg depositing female and he defends her against other advancing males, resulting in male-male fights. The guarding male frequently mates. Also courtship behaviour has been observed, including nuptial feeding with a fluid, probably originating from the accessory penal glands and delivered by the male into the female's stomotheca via sacs located on the distal part of the penis truncus. Eggs are deposited in holes and crevices of walls.
- An unidentified harvestman Leiobunum sp. alarmingly invading Europe (Arachnida: Opiliones) (2007)
- Since about the year 2000 a hitherto unidentified species of the genus Leiobunum C. L. Koch, 1839, has rapidly invaded central and western Europe. Records are known from The Netherlands (probably the country of first occurrence in Europe), Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This introduced species, until now, mainly inhabits walls of buildings and rocky environments. Adults characteristically aggregate during daytime into groups of up to 1.000 individuals. The species is described and details on its present distribution, habitat preference, phenology and behaviour are presented.

The near approach of the ruin of Israel. (1-3) Oppression reproved. (4-10) A famine of the word of God. (11-14)
Verses 1-3 Amos saw a basket of summer fruit gathered, and ready to be eaten; which signified, that the people were ripe for destruction, that the year of God's patience was drawing towards a conclusion. Such summer fruits will not keep till winter, but must be used at once. Yet these judgments shall not draw from them any acknowledgement, either of God's righteousness or their own unrighteousness. Sinners put off repentance from day to day, because they think the Lord thus delays his judgments.
Verses 4-10 The rich and powerful of the land were the most guilty of oppression, as well as the foremost in idolatry. They were weary of the restraints of the sabbaths and the new moons, and wished them over, because no common work might be done therein. This is the character of many who are called Christians. The sabbath day and sabbath work are a burden to carnal hearts. It will either be profaned or be accounted a dull day. But can we spend our time better than in communion with God? When employed in religious services, they were thinking of marketings. They were weary of holy duties, because their worldly business stood still the while. Those are strangers to God, and enemies to themselves, who love market days better than sabbath days, who would rather be selling corn than worshipping God. They have no regard to man: those who have lost the savour of piety, will not long keep the sense of common honesty. They cheat those they deal with. They take advantage of their neighbour's ignorance or necessity, in a traffic which nearly concerns the labouring poor. Could we witness the fraud and covetousness, which, in such numerous forms, render trading an abomination to the Lord, we should not wonder to see many dealers backward in the service of God. But he who thus despises the poor, reproaches his Maker; as it regards Him, rich and poor meet together. Riches that are got by the ruin of the poor, will bring ruin on those that get them. God will remember their sin against them. This speaks the case of such unjust, unmerciful men, to be miserable indeed, miserable for ever. There shall be terror and desolation every where. It shall come upon them when they little think of it. Thus uncertain are all our creature-comforts and enjoyments, even life itself; in the midst of life we are in death. What will be the wailing in the bitter day which follows sinful and sensual pleasures!
Verses 11-14 Here was a token of God's highest displeasure. At any time, and most in a time of trouble, a famine of the word of God is the heaviest judgment. To many this is no affliction, yet some will feel it very much, and will travel far to hear a good sermon; they feel the loss of the mercies others foolishly sin away. But when God visits a backsliding church, their own plans and endeavours to find out a way of salvation, will stand them in no stead. And the most amiable and zealous would perish, for want of the water of life, which Christ only can bestow. Let us value our advantages, seek to profit by them, and fear sinning them away.
Amos 8:1-14 . VISION OF A BASKET OF SUMMER FRUIT SYMBOLICAL OF ISRAEL'S END. RESUMING THE SERIES OF SYMBOLS INTERRUPTED BY AMAZIAH, AMOS ADDS A FOURTH. THE AVARICE OF THE OPPRESSORS OF THE POOR: THE OVERTHROW OF THE NATION: THE WISH FOR THE MEANS OF RELIGIOUS COUNSEL, WHEN THERE SHALL BE A FAMINE OF THE WORD.
1. summer fruit--Hebrew, kitz. In Amos 8:2 "end" is in Hebrew, keetz. The similarity of sounds implies that, as the summer is the end of the year and the time of the ripeness of fruits, so Israel is ripe for her last punishment, ending her national existence. As the fruit is plucked when ripe from the tree, so Israel from her land.
2. end--( Ezekiel 7:2 Ezekiel 7:6 ).
3. songs of . . . temple--( Amos 5:23 ). The joyous hymns in the temple of Judah (or rather, in the Beth-el "royal temple," Amos 7:13 ; for the allusion is to Israel, not Judah, throughout this chapter) shall be changed into "howlings." GROTIUS translates, "palace"; compare Amos 6:5 , as to the songs there. But Amos 5:23 , and Amos 7:13 , favor English Version.
they shall cast them forth with silence--not as the Margin, "be silent." It is an adverb, "silently." There shall be such great slaughter as even to prevent the bodies being buried [CALVIN]. There shall be none of the usual professional mourners ( Amos 5:16 ), but the bodies will be cast out in silence. Perhaps also is meant that terror, both of God (compare Amos 6:10 ) and of the foe, shall close their lips.
4. Hear--The nobles needed to be urged thus, as hating to hear reproof.
swallow up the needy--or, "gape after," that is, pant for their goods; so the word is used, Job 7:2 , Margin.
to make the poor . . . to fail--"that they (themselves) may be placed alone in the midst of the earth" ( Isaiah 5:8 ).
5. So greedy are they of unjust gain that they cannot spare a single day, however sacred, from pursuing it. They are strangers to God and enemies to themselves, who love market days better than sabbath days; and they who have lost piety will not long keep honesty. The new-2moons ( Numbers 10:10 ) and sabbaths were to be kept without working or trading ( Nehemiah 10:31 ).
set forth wheat--literally, "open out" stores of wheat for sale.
ephah--containing three seahs, or above three pecks.
making . . . small--making it below the just weight to purchasers.
shekel great--taking from purchasers a greater weight of money than was due. Shekels used to be weighed out in payments ( Genesis 23:16 ). Thus they committed a double fraud against the law ( Deuteronomy 25:13 Deuteronomy 25:14 ).
6. buy . . . poor for silver . . . pair of shoes--that is, that we may compel the needy for money, or any other thing of however little worth, to sell themselves to us as bondmen, in defiance of Leviticus 25:39 ; the very thing which brings down God's judgment ( Amos 2:6 ).
sell the refuse of . . . wheat--which contains no nutriment, but which the poor eat at a low price, being unable to pay for flour.
7. Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob--that is by Himself, in whom Jacob's seed glory [MAURER]. Rather, by the spiritual privileges of Israel, the adoption as His peculiar people [CALVIN], the temple, and its Shekinah symbol of His presence. Compare Amos 6:8 , where it means Jehovah's temple (compare Amos 4:2 ).
never forget--not pass by without punishing ( Amos 8:2 , Hosea 8:13 , 9:9 ).
8. the land . . . rise up wholly as a flood--The land will, as it were, be wholly turned into a flooding river (a flood being the image of overwhelming calamity, Daniel 9:26 ).
cast out and drowned, &c.--swept away and overwhelmed, as the land adjoining the Nile is by it, when flooding ( Amos 9:5 ). The Nile rises generally twenty feet. The waters then "cast out" mire and dirt ( Isaiah 57:20 ).
9. "Darkness" made to rise "at noon" is the emblem of great calamities ( Jeremiah 15:9 , Ezekiel 32:7-10 ).
10. baldness--a sign of mourning ( Isaiah 15:2 , Jeremiah 48:37 , Ezekiel 7:18 ).
I will make it as . . . mourning of an only son--"it," that is, "the earth" ( Amos 8:9 ). I will reduce the land to such a state that there shall be the same occasion for mourning as when parents mourn for an only son ( Jeremiah 6:26 , Zechariah 12:10 ).
11. famine of . . . hearing the words of the Lord--a just retribution on those who now will not hear the Lord's prophets, nay even try to drive them away, as Amaziah did ( Amos 7:12 ); they shall look in vain, in their distress, for divine counsel, such as the prophets now offer ( Ezekiel 7:26 , Micah 3:7 ). Compare as to the Jews' rejection of Messiah, and their consequent rejection by Him ( Matthew 21:43 ); and their desire for Messiah too late ( Luke 17:22 , John 7:34 , 8:21 ). So, the prodigal when he had sojourned awhile in the "far-off country, began to be in want" in the "mighty famine" which arose ( Luke 15:14 ; compare 1 Samuel 3:1 , 7:2 ). It is remarkable that the Jews' religion is almost the only one that could be abolished against the will of the people themselves, on account of its being dependent on a particular place, namely, the temple. When that was destroyed, the Mosaic ritual, which could not exist without it, necessarily ceased. Providence designed it, that, as the law gave way to the Gospel, so all men should perceive it was so, in spite of the Jews' obstinate rejection of the Gospel.
12. they shall wander from sea to sea--that is, from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean, from east to west.
from . . . north . . . to . . . east--where we might expect "from north to south." But so alienated was Israel from Judah, that no Israelite even then would think of repairing southward, that is, to Jerusalem for religious information. The circuit is traced as in Numbers 34:3 , &c., except that the south is omitted. Their "seeking the word of the Lord" would not be from a sincere desire to obey God, but under the pressure of punishment.
13. faint for thirst--namely, thirst for hearing the words of the Lord, being destitute of all other comfort. If even the young and strong faint, how much more the infirm ( Isaiah 40:30 Isaiah 40:31 )!
14. swear by the sin of Samaria--namely, the calves ( Deuteronomy 9:21 , Hosea 4:15 ). "Swear by" means to worship ( Psalms 63:11 ).
The manner--that is, as "the way" is used ( Psalms 139:24 , Acts 9:2 ), the mode of worship.
Thy god, O Dan--the other golden calf at Dan ( 1 Kings 22:26-30 ).
liveth . . . liveth--rather, "May thy god . . . live . . . may the manner . . . live." Or, "As (surely as) thy god, O Dan, liveth." This is their formula when they swear; not "May Jehovah live!" or, "As Jehovah liveth!"

You are here"Creation Science" Class Requested
A petition requesting that an elective class in "creation science" be taught has been presented to the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation Board in Columbus, Indiana. According to news reports about 1300 people signed the petition. A school district committee will be looking into the request to determine if any other public schools offer such a separate creation science class, or if curricula exist for one.
Ohio Group Announces Support for Science
On February 7th, 2002 a group of Ohio citizens held a press conference at the Cleveland
Museum of Natural History to announce the formation of Ohio Citizens for Science
(OCS). The group represents parents, citizens, scientists and clergy from all over the
state of Ohio concerned with maintaining quality science education in the state's public
NCSE asks Discovery Institute: Where's the Shrimp?
by Alan Gishlick In a Discovery Institute press release dated Feb. 6, Jonathan Wells accuses three developmental biologists of making "exaggerated claims" in a recent paper in Nature (advance online publication, Feb. 6, 2002). But it is Wells, in his zeal to criticize any research supporting evolution, whose claims are "exaggerated." Bill to Change Approval Process for Ohio Science Standards
On January 24, 2002 a bill was introduced into the Ohio House of Representatives to change that state's procedures for approving the new science standards currently being written. HB 484 would require the science standards to be approved by both houses of the General Assembly. This requirement is new, and would not apply to any other subject. On January 29 SB 222, a bill with the same provisions, was introduced in the state Senate.
"Origins Science" Bill in Ohio
On January 23, 2002 House Bill 481 was introduced in the Ohio General Assembly. This bill would require that "origins science" be "taught objectively and without religious, naturalistic, or philosophic bias or assumption." Although the bill does not contain the words "biology" or "evolution", it uses the phrase "origin of life and its diversity" several times, as well as "origins science". Pages |

An entire year's worth of personal, winning weight loss, and keep-it-off tips from Prevention readers
You can achieve weight loss and keep it off forever. How can I be so sure? Besides mountains of research from leading experts, there are thousands of Prevention readers who have successfully done it. Over the years, their letters and emails have been filled with practical tips, as well as the pride and pleasure of people who feel great about themselves. They can run, jump, play on the floor with the kids, wear sexy clothes—newly empowered to do whatever they want.
That's why I decided to create the book Win the Fat War, a collection of stories and successful strategies for permanent weight loss.
Here are some useful tips that will inspire you:
Believe in Yourself
1. Ditch all-or-nothing thinking. Every time that Sandra Wadsworth, 41, attempted weight loss, she'd quit at the first slipup. "But I finally lost 20 pounds when Weight Watchers helped me see that I wasn't a bad person. Everyone makes mistakes. The key is to learn from them."
2. Start with a bang. At 315 pounds, Kelly Feick had long hidden behind her blond, waist-length hair. But when she decided to take a risk and cut it, her courage to change sparked a sense of purpose and commitment. Kelly, 32, began eating healthier and walking every day. In 1 year, she dropped from a size 30 to a size 4. Pounds lost: 185.
3. Seize your strength. "I stopped telling myself that I was destined to be overweight forever," says Adrienne Sussman, 52. "I accepted that whatever was broken, I had the power to fix." To get comfortable with yourself, stand in front of a mirror completely naked every couple of weeks. Find one body part that you like—even if it's your elbows! When Adrienne stopped berating herself, she shed 30 pounds.
4. Make a dream book. "Before I could change my body, I had to change my thinking," recalls Sonia Turner, 43. "To build my confidence, I created a scrapbook of people exercising and overcoming adversity. I included a photo of my husband's company Christmas party. I'd always stayed home because I was embarrassed, but I announced, 'Next year, we're going.' " When the holidays rolled around, Sonia had lost 135 pounds. She and her husband danced the night away.
5. See a pro. At age 50, George Trott was diagnosed with diabetes and heart disease. That news got him to trim down 40 pounds, but he needed to lose more. On the suggestion of his daughter, he visited a dietitian who helped him fine-tune his diet. He finally shed all the necessary pounds, and his subsequent blood tests improved, too.
6. Be flexible. Kris Roberts's schedule didn't allow her to set up a rigid exercise routine. So Kris, 37, took a different approach. "I did whatever was most convenient. My only goal was to do something to raise my heart rate and work up a sweat every day—even if only for 5 minutes." Her flexibility kept Kris motivated to exercise and enjoy it. She's maintained her 50-pound weight loss for 10 years.
7. Don't blame it on age. Connie Bissonnette, 58, had given up, believing that weight gain was a normal part of aging. Her son proved her wrong. "He said, 'Just give me 10 minutes, three times a week,' " Connie recalls. "He devised a workout of exercises such as seated leg lifts and wall pushups that I did at home." Connie began enjoying the exercises and eventually worked her way up to a 30-minute routine. Pounds lost: 41.
8. Step away from the scale. By the time Kym Hubert's weight reached 245, the 41-year-old was checking her scale three times a day. Desperate to help, her husband smashed the scale. "It was depressing having my 'addiction' taken away," she says. But she started focusing on a new weight loss interest: walking. When Kym finally weighed herself a year later, she'd lost 80 pounds.
9. Personalize your plan. Dozens of weight loss plans had failed Lisa Douglass, 29, so she created her own. "I decided to be responsible for my choices," she says. Lisa scoured exercise and nutrition materials, chose the best advice, and developed her own program. She went from 280 pounds to 160 over a 2-year period. "Even though I still make bad choices occasionally, I like the fact that I'm making them," she says.

Habitaciones Valencia
First of all, we are an experienced group of young students in the famous live in shared apartments. Our experience living and relating to over many years in rented apartments, opened our eyes to a great need and difficulty that many people (young and low income in particular) in temporary accommodation and economically in Valencia. As part also affected by these difficulties, we decided to dedicate ourselves to find solutions and intelligently contribute our bit to alleviate part of the problem of housing in Spain suffered general, facilitate and encourage this type of temporary accommodation and cheap. Today, we are private individuals who manage apartments, which for want of time and experience, the owners hire us to adapt and rent for a short time (up to 3 months). The idea of renting rooms for short stays is to solve the delicate situation in which there are many people who for various reasons, need a place to stay temporarily in Valencia to Valencia students who come from other cities or countries and need to stay momentary and immediately to find a permanent home, people who for reasons of tourism, labor, business, practice, etc.. are passing through Valencia and seek the comforts of home without paying more than a hotel. Both Valencia and throughout Spain, called "Shared Flats" are a very common and popular way to stay cheaply and comfortably against the high prices of rental properties in Spain. However, the overwhelming majority of apartment owners prefer to rent their apartments for a long time (6 months or 1 year minimum) to save the time and effort to be constantly looking for a tenant. This is what explains, the real difficulty for many people in finding accommodation for the simple reason of not needing shelter for so long. We rent rooms for short durations to facilitate and resolve the problem of these people and that his alternative is not limited to exhaust its economy paying a lot in hotels, hostels and shelters, where they often share a room with many unknown clients, subject to schedules input and output and high standards that reduce the freedom, comfort and well being we all need to feel at home.
