On Sunday January 13th I.T.F. Netherlands celebrated her 25th anniversary in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. Over 150 black belts were present at this event, listening to the official opening of the event by the president of I.T.F. Netherlands ,Master James Tjin-A-Ton. To celebrate this event with us there were two special guests present: I.T.F. Netherlands honorary member Grand Master Wim Bos from Italy and Sabum Roy Rolstad from Norway.
After the opening, the day started with a 2 and a half hour training session led by Grand Master Bos. Even though it was an intense training session, displaying Grand Master Bos' amazing flexibility and fitness, there were many interruptions during which Grand Master Bos told those present stories about his personal and the ITF history, often in a humoristic manner. Next to fitness and stretching, some basic movement and pattern exercises were performed.
After the training session there was some time for pictures with GM Bos, followed by the lunch. An excellent opportunity for everybody to come together and catch up with the other I.T.F. Netherlands members.
The lunch was followed by a unique question & answer session by GM Bos. The Grand Master was very open, and told many interesting funny, but also moving and touching stories. This was the first time a session like this was ever done by GM Bos, and both himself as the I.T.F. Netherlands members enjoyed it a lot. The session was followed by presenting the I.T.F. Honorary umpire award, which was given to Master James Tjin-A-Ton for his years of effort in national and international umpiring. Other I.T.F. Netherlands that had already received this award include Sabum Kiet Tjon-A-Pauw, Master Coos van den Heuvel and Sabum Harry van Schaik. Master James was very surprised, but of course happy to receive this award.
The afternoon programme had two more important items. First, a presentation was given by Boosabum Martijn van de Velde and Sabum Pattrick den Hoed on the new I.T.F. Netherlands instructor course, which is recognized on a national level and focuses mainly on didactic and not Taekwon-Do skills. The presentation was followed by the last item on the agenda, the "Radix" programme. This is a unique programme designed by Sabum Roy Rolstad and Robert Boer that focuses on alternative self defence applications for techniques from tul. For many of the present black belts this was an eye-opening programme, which crated awareness for the unlimited number of applications for certain techniques.
The day ended by presenting gifts to all those who helped organizing this memorable event. Again, thanks go to the organizing committee (Sabum Jantien Lindeboom, Boosabum Wouter Meijer and Martin de Vries), Sabum Robert Boer and Roy Rolstad, Boosabum MArtijn van de Velde and Sabum Patrick den Hoed. Finally, thanks go to Sabum Ron van der Lee, who designed some of the graphics and a nice banner for GM Bos. Our sincere gratitude goes to GM Bos, taking his time to teach us on this memorable 25th anniversary from I.T.F. Netherlands.
"International Instructor Professionals" project
I.T.F. Netherlands is happy to report that it will start researching a new project named "International Instructor Professionals" or in short "II professionals". This project is a model in which plaque holders and International Instructors actively contribute to the organization I.T.F. Netherlands, which will be rewarded by receiving a percentage of the income they generate for the organization I.T.F. Netherlands. Other countries like Norway and Argentina already have similar models.
We are proud to report that Sabum Harry van Schaik, who is a member of the ITF development committee among other positions, will be the project leader. Sabum Harry will investigate the possibilities for implementation of this model in the Netherlands, and whether clubs and International Instructors in the Netherlands are interested. If the model is interesting enough and financially sound, I.T.F. Netherlands hopes to implement per the 1st of January 2014. Sabum Harry can be directly contacted on firstname.lastname@example.com, or questions can be directed to email@example.com. I.T.F. Netherlands wishes Sabum Harry the best of luck.

I'm sorry if I offended you patricia. perhaps I should reconsider this thinking of mine. Perhaps, not all ghosts are disguises of Satan. thanks for enlightening me . :) Patricia Joy said:
I am not saying to be afraid of him, I am saying we must be aware of him. If we are not aware he can harm us, if we are aware at all times then we can fight off his attacks. I do not agree that ghosts are satan. I have seen ghosts, one being my father, my father was not an evil man and what he said to my daughter proves he was not satan in disguise. I am not, by the way, afraid of ghosts. I'm afraid when I see these haunted programes on TV, I have to laugh. Seeing a ghost is nothing like that.
Patricia Joy said:
Trouble is Kate, it only needs a second of distraction for the devil to sneak in. We are also at our lowest when we are dropping off to sleep. We should be on our guard at all times, but being human we're not
Our flesh can always be accessed by any demons anytime but our souls, which they would like to feed on, they cannot claim. But, if you have faith, even as little as a mustard seed, I don't think that they can enter you. Demons have been trying to posses me so many times, and they have before but God never lets them take over me fully. But, when I commited my self to Jesus and Father, when I've learned to not be scared and to think that they're always there for me, somehow, no demons can ever posses me even in my sleep. You only need faith, and a strong belief to conquer them. If you do not have that but doubt, then you are permissible.

Merely just before you come to a full quit, you hear a loud bang and the audio of glass breaking. Before you know exactly what is happening you are covered in glass and also a hand is reaching in and snatching your purse that you place on the traveler seat. Following the minute, an individual is running away with your possessions as well as you are left sitting there covered in glass and beverage to the core.
Possibly it was your cell phone that was taken, your precious jewelry, your laptop bag and even your car – whatever the specifics, the total tale is the same. Smash, as well as grabs, take place continuously, each day. If you have ever been sufferer of this violence, you know that it could be extremely terrible and also make you worried and also cautious each time you drive.
In this day as well as age, where smash and grab Johannesburg are so common, it appears foolish not to safeguard against something that can be avoided. Anti-smash and snatch movies can be used quickly on auto windows nowadays. Although it could appear like a chump change that is inadequate, I began doing research on the benefits and also discovered out that rather than simply minimizing the effect of an individual shattering your home window, it is really difficult to crack the glass.
Call me paranoid but to me that has a lot of charms – specifically as females who drives around a whole lot alone. I am one of those horribly unobservant people who is entirely unaware of their environments till something dramatic happens. Unfortunately, I know that makes me a simple target. I have numerous friends and also loved ones that know what it is like to have their windows shattered, and individual properties swiped from them right in front of their eyes. They all claim the same thing, "It happened so promptly!".
With the consistent risk of plunder hiding when driving, maybe it is time for us all to take the fee of our safety. I'm a firm follower in the saying, "Equally adds," as well as if including an additional safety and security function on my car provides me a lot more comfort I recommend paying the bit additional if it keeps me or my family participants just that bit more secure.

I don't think we'd begrudge a jet-lagged, sleep deprived Andy a wedge of chocolate cake! Such a nice gesture from the organisers. Thought in the circumstances Andy played very well even if a bit ragged at times. Jesus if that's how he's playing when he's hardly slept for 3 days, look out USO. And other seeds were dropping like flies. Just hope the knee is ok though it didn't sound like a real problem from his interview. It was lovely seeing him look and sound so relaxed in the interview. It does seem a shame he can't bask in the enjoyment of his medals and has to focus on the matter in hand now.
Yes Ruthie, this kick-off in Toronto has really sorted the men from the boys! We'll see how Djolovic does later on.

Hi All,
I missed the cake! Did they show it on Sky? My carer was here at the wrong time! What a great thing to do for him, lovely.
Andy said he hasn't had much sleep since Sunday, bless him. He looks like he could do with some. He still looks elated though, so happy! Did he say something about a bit of tendonitis in his knee? You be careful my lovely, I don't want you hurting yourself.
I was glad he got through in straights. Cipolla was becoming awkward in the second, cheeky boy. He obviously didn't read the part of the script that said easy first set, total capitulation in the second. Good on Cipolla for fighting though, but I was glad Andy got through, even if he looked knackered.
To my mind Andy just really needs some sleep. I think it's stupid that this tournament was compulsory, what with what happened at the French there was probably no way he would cite an injury he doesn't have, but if he ends up getting one......Actually let's not go there.
So it will be Raonic tomorrow. I'm going to practice saying "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter", just in case. The trouble is that as Andy is playing I want him to win. But another part of me wants him to have a rest and some sleep.
I can't get over Andy today though. That light in his eyes is still there, he just looks so happy!
Bloody Berdych managed to win. He annoys me!
Andy go to bed!

I didn't watch the second set, what was the problem with Andy's knee when he needed the trainer? I assume just a bit of tiredness and sore from the surface change.
Love to see him win the tournament here, but that may be a challenge given recent efforts. Should be the night match tomorrow v Raonic which should suit him as he loves the matches under the lights!

Just finished watchin it
First set was easy peasey, just too good. The second set if i am being over critical, he made hard work of most of his service games, had opportunities to get in the locker room much earlier & his first service ended at 52% but i think we can afford the new Olympic champion a break!!!
The much improved forehand was again evident as well as his second serve which has come on no end plus he was able to dig deep when he needed.
A nice touch at the end of the match, Cipolla congratulating Andy On his Olympics heroics!! Then the cake which was a magic touch. The sky sports presenter seemed to think it was the real Gold medal. Great interview with Andy, still on cloud nine, and Mr Lendl
Well done Andy, but keep focus, that was then, U.S in a few weeks so lets move on!!
I think he should pull out now, have a nice rest then Cinci will give perfect prep for the U.S.

Called for the trainer now at the break.
Quote from: johnkiernan35 on August 08, 2012, 09:00 PM
Is it serious?
Just been reading through the posts because I missed the match.
The poblem could have been the knee that has the bipartite patella, i.e. the bones that make up the knee-cap aren't properly fused together, thereby leaving part of the tendon behind the knee-cap exposed, which is why it can become inflamed from time to time. Can't remember if it's his right or left one though. Anyway Andy says it does give him trouble if he suddenly has to change surfaces, which he's had to do here, and playing a lot of tennis can cause it to flare up too. Fortunately the problem is well managed by his team and Andy will have had the knee packed with ice after the match.
I still think the ATP showed a great deal of stupidity by not making the Rogers Cup non-obligatory this year. The top players are either going to get knocked out early or they'll tank.

Hi Aileen and all,
It was the knee with the bipartite patella. To be fair Andy didn't seem over anxious about it. I think some of us were because it's so unusual to see him get the trainer out. Still, he's entitled to do it, and it is right to do it if he feels uncomfortable. If he does get through Raonic he might be okay physically (if he can get some sleep!), once he's got used to the surface change. It's hard to remember really that they've played an extended grass court season.
I think there's no doubt he's there to play and try to win. Andy has never struck me as a 'make up the numbers' type. That said, if today goes wrong against Raonic it would give him a break before Cincy, and maybe a few days to absorb his success. He looks on such a high still. He seems calmer, more relaxed, more at ease with himself now. I think it's wonderful. Even the interview didn't seem to be an ordeal for him, not that I heard all of it.
It's funny how the commentators were talking about what Andy has done. Petchey sounds delighted but also cautious. I forget what it was yesterday, but something he said made me think he is wary of people putting Andy under too much pressure to perform at the USO, to back up the Olympics success. Peter Fleming seemed delighted and enthused about what could come for Andy now.
I'm sure Lendl's right to keep Andy's feet on the ground. Then again, I take a lot of heart as well from the way Andy played against Cipolla. It seemed hard going for Andy at times, the heat, lack of sleep, etc, yet he came out and played, took the match to Cipolla, when he really could have just gone out and tanked it. His first serve percentage was low, but that was the only area you could pick as a potential problem. Then again, he was able to get it in when he needed to, so it's a plus that he is responding to pressure, just as he did at Wimbledon, and the Olympics.
The thing that gave me encouragement as well was the way Andy dealt with the lesser player, if that doesn't sound rude. Andy didn't let up, didn't revert to being passive. Sure, he had a patch where it was clear that getting off the court asap might be a good plan, but he got through it. In the past Andy has got so caught up with playing cat and mouse with opponents, especially the much lower ranked players, it has made matches longer than they've needed to be. Now, that going out right from the off and putting his foot on the opponents neck seems to be becoming more second nature. I think it's such a good sign.
I really do think that whatever happens today there are good signs that Andy is continuing in the right direction.

Andy himself said that the knee was just a problem of moving so quickly on to hard court. He didn't seem worried. Usually he'd have had time to adjust before playing a match, And the comms keep saying he does need to be careful as when muscles are tired you're more prone to injury. So another reason for not being too downcast if he goes out tonight.
Yes Andy made harder work than necessary of the 2nd set but this was a man who was practically playing in his sleep he must have been so tired even if adrenalin is still keeping him going. So I definitely think he can be excused and like tj says he didn't revert to passive tennis. Now given he must have been practically on auto pilot that is hugely encouraging because it suggests he is now playing more aggressive tennis more instinctively.

Silk Live Key Lime Soy Yogurt has been previously reviewed so I sort of knew what to expect from the brand. Still, when I bought Silk Live Strawberry Soy Yogurt, I don't think I was entirely prepared for the experience of this soy yogurt. Like the Key Lime flavor, the color of this Strawberry Soy Yogurt was a bit off. I was expecting the bright pink color so characteristic of other strawberry yogurts, but this was a sort of dusty rose color. Other than that, everything else about this yogurt was on point!
The smell was overwhelmingly strawberry and when I took a taste, I noticed that the flavor was incredibly natural - there was nothing off about this. It tasted like REAL strawberries, not any artificial flavor. Maybe that's because strawberries are the third ingredient! Oh my wow, this was so good . Throw out any pre-conceived notions about what you think soy yogurt will taste like, and just prepare yourself to enjoy some creamy, berry, yogurt goodness.
Each 6-ounce container of Silk Live Strawberry Soy Yogurt provides 160 calories, 2 grams of total fat, 22 grams of sugar, 4 grams of protein, 50% of the daily value for vitamin C, and 30% for calcium. The ingredients include, "organic soymilk, (filtered water, whole organic soybeans), organic evaporated cane juice, strawberries, rice starch, dextrose, natural flavors, tricalcium phosphate, cultured glucose syrup solids, citric acid, pectin, locust bean gum, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), fruit and vegetable juice (for color), and yogurt cultures (L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, L. acidophilus, B. bifidum, L. casei, L. rhamnosus)."
A container cost me $1.09 and I must say that I was so pleasantly surprised by this yogurt, that I will definitely buy it again, but regretably, not too often, because the sugar content is a bit too high.

Democrat Robin Kelly steamrolls convicted felon in special election, vows to 'take on the NRA'

Updated: May 11, 2013 6:43AM
With the parents of slain 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton beside her, Democrat Robin Kelly vowed to "take on the NRA," in Congress after sailing to victory Tuesday night in a congressional district represented for nearly two decades by the disgraced Jesse Jackson Jr.
Kelly, 56, of south suburban Matteson easily won the district that stretches from Chicago's South Side to Will and Kankakee counties, officially starting a new chapter in the beleaguered, scandal-ridden 2nd Congressional District.
She immediately promised to continue the fight for gun control — a crusade that helped catapult her to victory.
"To those who say that we won't be able to make Congress do anything on gun control, who think this Tea Party Congress can't be beaten — I've got two words: Watch us," Kelly said at a victory party in a Matteson hotel. "Watch us beat the odds again. Watch us take on the NRA, the Tea Party and anyone else standing in the way of our safety."
With 99 percent of the precincts reporting across the sprawling district, Kelly trounced her Republican opponent, winning 71 percent to 22 percent of the vote against Paul McKinley, a self-claimed reformed convicted felon who wanted to invigorate struggling neighborhoods on Chicago's South Side and south suburbs.
The vote Tuesday night was largely a formality after Kelly won a more contentious Democratic primary in February. The special election was scheduled after Jackson resigned from his office last November. Jackson, along with his wife, resigned Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th), pleaded guilty in February after admitting they looted Jesse Jackson Jr.'s congressional campaign fund.
Kelly surfaced as the strongest candidate with gun control history, attracting the interest of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. His Super-Pac, Independence USA, poured $2.2 million in to attack other candidates in TV ads as well as to support candidate Kelly.
On Election Night, she didn't forget the issue that put her on the national map.
Giving her election speech with Hadiya's parents was designed to be a testament to her continued focus on gun violence. The 15-year-old Chicago student slain earlier this year has become a national symbol of the toll of shootings.
"I am awed and inspired by the strength of families like the Pendletons and, unfortunately, far too many others, who are working to turn tragedy into triumph," Kelly said. "Together, we grieved, but we never gave up. We never lost hope, and we never stopped fighting. And we never will."
Minutes before the polls closed on Tuesday, McKinley, 54, said he believed he was on a road to victory.
"We're expecting to win this election, yes ma'am," said McKinley, dismissing the notion that Kelly was heavily favored in a district that's largely Democratic.
McKinley squeaked through the GOP primary, winning over several other Republicans. He ran on a platform of redemption, having served time in prison for robbery and assault.
"I certainly believe in the redemption story, because if ever there was a story of redemption, it's me. You can only redeem yourself through Christ Jesus," McKinley said. "Somewhere between the devil and God — is me."

I'm going to be a li'l cynical about the MLB Dream Job right now. You have been forewarned. Read on at your own risk. Fans say that MLB is going to announce the winner/person who got the job soon so I'm going to give my two cents on it.
The description: "which will cast one lucky fan to eat, sleep and live baseball for an entire season". Don't we all live that dream job? Real baseball fans do eat, sleep and live baseball for an entire season. This is just getting paid for it.
And I'm a little confused by the whole concept. I think it would make way more sense to cast 30 fans- one for each team- and since moving 30 people to New York is not really feasible they would each stay in their respective cities, getting a press pass or season tickets to their team's games. The MLB fan base is so diverse and I just don't know how one fan could possibly write about 30 teams and appeal to even a fraction of the consumers.
Nobody respects the national writers. They respect the local writers. Same in this case. It would be an official fan blogger for each team. With occasional MLB Network appearances via Skype or something.
The talent pool is rich, though. I looked up "mlb dream job" on YouTube and while I only looked through a few video submissions, I saw a huge range of personalities and appeals and lots and lots of talent. My personal favorite:
Isn't he adorable? In all of one minute and 59 seconds I am convinced he's funny, engaging, comfortable in front of a camera and not self-conscious. He deserves this one. His song sounded a little Sing for the Moment to me and then I saw he tagged it Dream On, Aerosmith. Duh, I guess. He's singing, not rapping.
Diamond Girl
p.s. I am a very spoiled girl. That is all. Have a lovely evening.

It's been too long since there's been a Southland pro wrestling show.
But Resistance Pro will present Alive! on Sept. 7 at St. Laurence High School, which also will be a beneficiary of the show.
" 'Marvelous' Matt Knicks, one of our wrestlers, is actually a coach for the Viking and Badger wrestling teams and brought R-Pro to the attention of head coach Joe Phelan about us doing a fundraiser for them," R-Pro co-promoter Gabe Baron said of Knicks from Bridgeview.
X-Pac, who is part of the WWE Legends program, will be the special guest and wrestle against "The Male Model" Ashton Vuitton with Eric St. Vaughn.
"X-Pac is a really great guy and friend of Jacques, Billy and myself," Baron said referring to his brother from Lockport and R-Pro creative director Billy Corgan.
"When we scheduled the show, X-Pac and Billy ran into each other in Florida while Billy was on tour over the summer, and Pac said he would love to return to R-Pro and this fundraiser would be the perfect time.
"Ashton has been a thorn in the side of R-Pro for a while now and despite his definite talent, he needs a reality check and X-Pac is the man to do it."
Southlanders booked include Park Forest resident Marshe Rockett, who will be part of a Burbank Brawl no-disqualification match.
Meanwhile, Barry Ryte from Burnham will compete in a Stick It to Ya rematch.
"It's a hard market right now. For smaller independent companies, they tend to stay in one venue in the same town or area all year long," Baron said of the local pro wrestling scene.
"R-Pro is about bringing the people what they want. The south suburbs are starved for great wrestling, so we're bringing it to them. Ask and ye shall receive, South Siders."
Jessi Virtusio blogs on Elaborating on Entertainment at blogs.southtownstar.com/entertainment, where more about R-Pro will be posted.

Gwyneth Paltrow-Approved Cocktail Napkins
The actress-turned-tastemaker's first foray into tabletop starts with monogrammed napkins.
By Sarah Bray
Could there be anything more glamorous than having drinks at Gwyneth Paltrow's? While you might not be able to unless you're Tom Ford, Stella McCartney or another one of her supremely chic close friends, you can now entertain à la GP with Paltrow-approved linen napkins. Goop.com, the star's extremely-edited lifestyle site, has collaborated with California shop Bespoke Home for a monogrammed napkin collection. "I have always had a fondness for monograms," explains Paltrow. "Bespoke Home's monogrammed items still feel traditional but are interpreted in a modern way, making them the perfect fit for our readers. This aesthetic, combined with my personal love for cooking and entertaining, makes this collaboration a perfect first tabletop collection for goop."

Comments: Bought a couple of bags (aarons magic) and the bass just loved these things. Caught close to 20 bass and missed just as many. Even if the fish start to break the worm just cut off the tip and re-rig. Great bait
From: Jimmy: Biloxi, MS
Comments: Really Like fishing these worms. Color variations are great and very detailed. The packaging they come in could be better. Need to be put into a resealable bag.

Ford Focus Electrical and Lighting Problems
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,212
jakeandchris1 Posts: 3my girlfriend has a 2001 ford focus wagon SE 2.0L we were having troubles with keeping the battery charged so we went to canadian tire and got it tested. Failed. We bought a new one now were having the same problem i think its the alternator. the symptoms are we will be driving and the lights will go off and the check engine light will come on also the airbag light.
then the car will putt and sputter then die, then the ticking and it wont start again. massive loss of power.
what should i do???
i checked the wires on the back of the alternator they seemed fine, ill check again in the morning.
the big red wire that's connected to the battery was loose and frayed so i cut it and hooked it up better. i gave the car a boost and same thing. lights, dash, and dummy gauges will flip all the way up then back to 0.
please help we don't have much money and replacing the alternator 5,6,7 times will kill us like the story's Ive been reading about.
also there's a humming sound my girlfriend says "It sounds like a RC car accelerating" it sounds like its coming from the passenger side under the hood, sometimes you can hear it threw the stereo. -
lnewman Posts: 2I posted on this thread some time back, had the same issue with my 2003 Ford Focus. But if my car was in the middle of flashing dash lights on and off and I turned the car off, it never turned back on. So, I traveled with jumper cables and when it was in the middle of this chaos, I just drove it until it stopped (because once it started didn't mean it wouldn't stop at some point), especially if I didn't want to be stranded somewhere. We replaced batteries, alternators, had the post factory alarm system removed, changed the ignition...no avail. Even Ford Mechanics could not figure it out. Finally, a mechanic found that there was a "ground" loose and created a new ground for it. Initially, that seemed like the fix, we went a good 4 months without issues, however, at some point, the issue came back. We drove this car for 3 years with this issue, never was able to fix it. We called her Christine and just dealt with it until we were in a place to buy a new car. I was so happy when we sold that car!
jakeandchris1 Posts: 3That's funny, Christine is my girlfriend...
we just took out the alternator and it was extremely loose like the brushes were done, we didnt have time to put the new one in tonight but it should be a hour or so to put everything back in place hopefully she starts! and runs properly! also i think i have to do the aliment on the rear end. when im on the high way and hit a pot hole it the rear end swerves all over the place. i changed a lower control arm ( dog bone) and the sway bar linkage kit.
i didnt know it was a 4 wheel alignment. does anyone know if that is the problem or is it a sway bar problem? -
jakeandchris1 Posts: 3it worked! car runs awesome!! battery is charging perfectly, and even more power at the wheel it seems! the humming sound is gone! must of been the old alt.
it was a BIT*H getting out. took off the motor mount, moved the motor ( took 4 guys to pull it over far enough to take it out and put a new one in. i would defiantly hate to do that again. -
gigi87 Posts: 1Okay so I drive a 2002 Focus Wagon
the problem started a month ago with the back lights and dash lights stopped working
but the brake lights and turn signals were fine
Checked the fuse; everything looked good
Then we took out the back lights and just kinda wiggled the wires and they came back on
..So then i drove over a bump and they were off again
..then the rear turn signal stopped working
and now when i brake the left back light doesnt turn on at all
Could it be a fuse or a bulb or wiring??
OH and today I found the F30 fuse burnt... -

drevs Posts: 4Some body advised me to reset the battery.
So yesterday I have taken the battery connections out and put it back after an hour. So far, I haven't found the variations, but the battery icon still glows. This battery icon on the control panel started glowing for a while and disappears after 3 to 4 minutes last week. But now since last two days the battery icon is showing continuously on the panel. -

magneticeyz Posts: 1I am a courier and I drive a 2002 ford focus ZTW wagon. I am having power surges after 2 alternator repairs (O'rielly's exchanged twice). Now the dash lights and headlights flicker when I idle in park or at a red light. The power surges are worst after a long drive (almost wants to shut off but doesn't).
When I accelerate their are no surges and all the lights are bright and steady. I took the car to ford dealership and they ran all sorts of diagnostic tests. They so-called checked the electrical wire cluster but they could not find the problem. The alternator, battery, etc are fine. No one knows what the problem is.
The dealership did screw up one thing. When they received the car my cruise control worked but when I picked it up it no longer worked. They claim it wasn't their fault and the part costs $500. I am pissed cause I need my C/C. I am thinking about protesting in front of the dealership.
But anyway I need help with this power surge issue.
HELLLLP! Please. -
derfokus Posts: 9Before I go into the dealer with my month old Focus hatchback, I thought I would check to see if anyone else noticed the rear defroster is pretty weak. Fog on the interior barely clears after 15 minutes of driving and not clearing due on the outside at all when the car is warming up in the drive in the morning.
This was built in Michigan where I used to live and it wouldn't pass the muster at all in any winter. Not especially happy to have to take this in already. -
goheyjo Posts: 2I have a 2004 ford focus se 90,000 miles on it, been a perfect car. out of the blue, my wind shield wipers go on by themselves, at the same time the a/c shuts down and the power windows don't work. (fun in 112 degree sunny Arizona) this happened a few times last summer then didn't happen for a long time but now it's summer time again and it's happening almost daily, and very very randomly, the only thing i can correlate with it happening is the fact that it's HOT out, I've been running my a/c for 3 - 4 months already this year but now that the temps are over 100 and the a/c is really working it happens a lot more - this would seem like the big trigger but to throw an anomaly in, it happened during a trip up north about an hour and a half to two hours into the drive - we had the a/c on the whole time it happened twice on that car ride and not again for about a month - temps were in the 80's.
I noticed this afternoon I was stopped at a light, the a/c quit but the wipers didn't go crazy, I gave the engine some gas and viola! the wipers went on.....
the wipers also either make one swipe or stay on for a mile. twice now they've gotten stuck in an up position instead of the regular resting position. This is driving me NUTS! -
mechanic looked at car last summer, didn't find anything but did a lot of rewiring under the hood that was looking bad (baking in the AZ sun) - I don't think he did any under the dash though.
any thoughts, any ideas, anybody ever hear of anything like this????? -
musiclady420 Posts: 3We have a :mad: 2003 Ford Focus that has had numerous electrical problems. The best thing I can tell you to do b4 the problem gets worse is to get an electrical analysis performed at a dealership. This helped us out. It costs about $110-150. They can pinpoint the actual problem then. Check numerous dealerships first as they are not all the same.
musiclady420 Posts: 3Ok, so from numerous hours of reseach I'm posting this.
Hatchback-if back lights are out check wire at harness coming out of roof to hatch. This is a common area that gets moisture wicking &pinching in the wire clu
Focus Sedan-Altenator code after replacement. Sometimes the regulators in rebuilt & store bought altenators do not match the pcm codes. So, the car rejects it like us getting the wrong blood type.
Next the wiring harnesses are crap in these cars. Expect shorts.all over the place.
First problem is the battery cables. That is the first thing you want to replace. And older models, I want to say 2001 & older(you can check with Ford) replace in-line fuse going from battery to altenator.
That same wire goes bad on all focuses-replace it.
The next bad wire is the one that goes from the altenator plug to the computer. This is what was bad on our car.
Hope this helps all. -
power101 Posts: 6I have a 2001 FORD FOCUS LX with 199,871 miles on it and its my first Ford car. I have owned many of Ford Trucks in my life and always fixed problems with them myself. But with my Focus, every time in the past 4 years when I turn a corner roughly around 15 mph or over, it cuts out and the car bogs out and jumps like the engine is going to jump out then I get a bad smell almost like sulfur coming from the car. All fluid levels are good with a full gas tank. This happens whether the car is hot or cold. Usually I can just punch the gas pedal to the floor and it will eventually gain rpm's again and go with no problems until I turn sharp again. I have recently replaced Spark plugs and cables, Alternator, transmission and clutch plate, fuel pump and various pcv valves and hoses. Had the fuel pressure tested and it was fine. This problem has been consistent like this for the past 4 years with no other problems. I have always been a Ford guru but this car is making me think twice. I have 2 small children that go with me almost everywhere with me and just today as I turned a corner getting on the highway ramp, it bogged out worse then ever with many angry drivers on my tail. I thought I was going to crash the car into the guard rail. I hit the pedal to the floor like I usually do and it started going again, but in fifth gear it kept jumping and cutting out. I turned off the side of the road to turn the car off then back on and it ran fine all the way home. I have read many forums with the same issues on my make and model and tried many solutions with no luck. With your expertise, do you have any ideas why this is happening. I see this problem allot with focus's but never any working solutions. I am a college student with a very limited income, and any information would be a great help to get my car driving like it should. Please feel free to forward this to anyone who you may know to be able to help me out and sorry this is so lengthy.
You can e-mail me back at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your time and consideration. -

power101 Posts: 6Well I came to the conclusion that it is my catalytic converter. I didn't fix it because I don't think that it is worth it. My car is already on its last leg.
With your problem, It sounds like you may need to clean and tighten your wires going into your alternator and the battery cables. Does this happen every time you start the car or like once in a while? -
carcluless66 Posts: 2It is intermittent. Sometimes it will not do it for weeks. The battery cables are tight. I have had it to 4 mechanics and it won't do it when I take it in. I am very frustrated. It clicks in the dash on the left side of the steering wheel and the lights dim in the dash and the headlights. The radio just come on by itself when I start the car. When its clicking and I am driving the car cuts out really bad and seems like it is going to die then surges forward. It has never completely died but if you turn the car off while it is clicking it will not start right away but will start later. I NEED HELP.

Leist Appointed Distinguished Teaching Professor; Carson Named Distinguished Service Professor
The State University of New York Board of Trustees has approved the appointments of Susan M. Leist, professor of English, to the rank of SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor, and David A. Carson, chair and professor of history and social studies education, to the rank of SUNY Distinguished Service Professor.
Distinguished professorships constitute the highest rank bestowed on SUNY instructional faculty. The distinctions will be officially acknowledged during the college's Academic Convocation ceremony in September.
"The applications of these two individuals were strongly supported by our campus community," said Kevin Railey, interim provost. "Both Dr. Leist and Dr. Carson have contributed much to enhance our students' lives and to enrich the educational experience here at Buffalo State. I congratulate them both on a well-deserved recognition."
Leist joined the Buffalo State faculty in 1991 after completing an Ed.D. in English education at the University of Virginia. She is an inspirational instructor in English education, especially the teaching of language and writing. A former director of the Humanities Program as well as the College Writing Program, she is responsible for the "Writing Across the Curriculum" guidelines at Buffalo State. Leist also teaches in the Honors and Intellectual Foundations programs. Her literary specialty is British medieval and Renaissance literature.
Beyond outreach to students, Leist teaches workshops for faculty to integrate writing into their courses, strengthening learning foundations for students. The depth and breadth of her expertise is articulated in her book Writing to Learn in Higher Education, a prominent resource in its field. Also, she has partnered with a colleague from the sciences to create a course that explores the synergistic value of understanding opposing disciplines. She received the Buffalo State College President's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2001.
The Distinguished Teaching Professorship recognizes and honors mastery of teaching at the graduate, undergraduate, or professional level. Candidates must have demonstrated consistently superior mastery of teaching; outstanding service to students and commitment to their ongoing scholarship, intellectual development, and professional growth; and adherence to rigorous academic standards and requirements.
Carson, who arrived at Buffalo State in 1983, has a long career of exemplary service to the college and at the SUNY-wide level. Now in his fourth term as a senator in the SUNY Faculty Senate, Carson has served as co-chair for the Advisory Council on General Education and as a member of the SUNY General Education Assessment Review Group. He has served as an elected senator in the Buffalo State College Senate since 1998, and his committee work, particularly in curriculum development and faculty control of the curriculum, is widely respected.
Carson holds a Ph.D. from Texas Christian University; his areas of expertise are American history, colonial and early American history, and the American presidency. He received the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1999.
Since Carson became chair in 2005, the History and Social Studies Education Department has added six full-time faculty members, enhancing the department with specialists in Latin American, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, African, and European history. Carson's ongoing educational association with the Teca del Mediterraneo in Italy has also earned high praise.
The Distinguished Service Professorship is conferred upon instructional faculty who have achieved a notable reputation for extraordinary service not only to the campus and to SUNY, but also to the community, the state of New York, or the nation by sustained effort in the application of intellectual skills drawing from the candidate's scholarly and research interests to issues of public concern.
"These honors recognize the extraordinary achievements of our faculty as teachers, scholars, and mentors, which are a tremendous source of pride for the State University," said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher.

How to work with applications using Parallels Access.
What is App Launcher?
The Parallels Access App Launcher is the screen in Parallels Access showing available apps/programs from your native host computer. From the App Launcher you can open apps; add, delete, or reorganize apps; or disconnect Parallels Access
Initially, a collection of commonly used apps are added to your App Launcher screen. You can add and remove apps by clicking Add (on iOS devices) or Edit applications list (on Android devices) and choosing apps you want to add. You can have as many applications on App Launcher as you like
To remove an application from App Launcher either click Edit or touch and hold an app until all of the apps start jiggling, and then tap the X on the app you want to remove (iOS version only).
Removing an application doesn't delete it from your computer but removes it from your App Launcher screen. You can always add it back again later.
Working with Applications
Parallels Access focuses on a single app as if it were a native mobile, iOS or Android, app. System-level items like the Apple menu, the OS X Dock, and the Windows Taskbar are not shown.
You can access these items in Desktop Mode. Tap the Settings (Gear picture) icon in the right toolbar and tap Desktop Mode. This will change your screen to display a traditional desktop view.
How do you switch to another window in the same application?
Example, two different Word documents are open, how can you change from one document to the other? Tap the icon in the toolbar to open the App Navigator and tap the numbered arrow to show all open items belonging to this app. Tap the desired window you want to open.
How do you switch to another application?
Open the App Navigator (see above), and then tap another open app or tap the App Launcher icon and choose an app from there

So hard to find pleated slacks anymore as they have gone of fashion....such a pity.
I recently returned from a trip to Havana and wish I had these with me when I went there. Such a tropical to feel to them. I particularly like the subtle pattern. Most unique pair of linen slacks I have ever owned. Today I am going to order more of them in a range of different colors.

"This is no easy feat to accomplish," stated Dan Hamburg, Chair of the Mendocino county Board of Supervisors. "Our rural county has some of the most remote locations, with emergencies difficult to respond to making this a remarkable accomplishment."
On May 23, the first Mendocino County Survivor's Reunion was held at Saracina Winery. This event was to honor the first responders in our community for the difference they make every day. On this particular occasion three different families were given a chance to share their stories and honor the men and women who saved their lives.
To start the event, guests were treated to a formal dinner prepared by Chef Jim Stuart of Ukiah Valley Medical Center and Chef Kyle Evans of Howard Memorial Hospital, who both donated their time and talent.
As the evening progressed, the master of ceremonies, Justin Briggs, from DG Creative, led the audience in a heart wrenching chain of events as he recounted each survivor's experience.
Robert works for the water department in Brooktrails. One afternoon while at work on a job site he started feeling a pain in his chest. After being a full-time firefighter for 2 years and a volunteer firefighter for 5 years, he recognized that there was something seriously wrong and used radioed somebody for help.
Deputy Chief for Brooktrails, John Noyer, heard the radio traffic and immediately contacted Howard Forest dispatch. Daniel Zumkeller, the ECC captain, and Steven Doyle, Communications Operator, immediately relayed the call.
Bob Nowlin, Battalion Chief, also responded in his duty vehicle. On arrival they found Robert sitting in his truck; ashen, sweating profusely and clenching his chest.
Daryl Schoeppner, Fire Chief, responded from home to the scene. Robert ultimately went into cardiac arrest and they started CPR immediately.
Captain, Andy Whitlock, Captain Tyler Porritt, and Engineer Robert McKenzie were able to defibrillate Robert at the scene prior to the paramedics' arrival.
Terrence Tisman, paramedic, and Matthew Coxon, EMT, established an airway and IV, and defibrillated multiple times while still on scene.
Upon arrival at the Emergency Department (ED) he was immediately met by Dr. Tedd Dawson, MD and Lydia Sims, RN.
Robert was defibrillated a total of 14 times before converting to a perfusing rhythm in the ED. He was given thrombolytics, a lifesaving "clot busting drug," and was prepared for transport.
REACH crew Michelle Cole, RN and Rick Fledman, RN arrived at HMH to transport. The thrombolytics he was given broke the clots and Robert did not need any other interventional cardiac procedures. Robert doesn't remember the event; but he does remember waking up "with a very sore chest."
It was June 27, 2011, and Gail took a lunch ride on her motorcycle. As she was approaching an intersection, she made a mental note of car on the left side that was stopped. Moving into the intersection she noticed a black sedan approaching the intersection on the right.
While she was watching the black sedan she felt a "slam" and immediately looked down to find a car hitting her on the left side. She went to the ground and rolled and when she looked up she immediately knew that her leg was gone.
The lady from the black sedan immediately came to her aid and kept saying, "Just breathe, just breathe."
Pete Bushby was off duty and saw something peculiar at the intersection, so he turned that way and drove up to the scene. Immediately he recognized the severity of the accident and, while approaching the incident, called 911 from his cell phone.
Tracey Porter and Tiffany Breece answered the 911 call and immediately dispatched the call to fire and police. Gail could hear the sirens coming and knew the paramedics were coming to take care of her.
Police officers Julian Covella, Kevin Murray, Sargent Sean Kaeser and Marcus Freeman (community safety officers) arrived and secured the scene. Ukiah Fire Department engine personnel Captain John Corippo, EMT-P, Engineer Larry Goodman, EMT-P and Battalion Chief Kirk Thomsen, EMT-P arrived within minutes. Ukiah Fire Department ambulance paramedics Dustin McNabb and Eric Singleton also arrived on scene.
UVMC trauma center was notified that an auto vs. motorcycle victim with critical injuries was in bound. The trauma team was activated and upon Gail's arrival she was met by Dr. Roger Chetlin, Bethany Chaney, RN, trauma coordinator, Director of Emergency Services Tim Rohan RN, Kim Swift, RN, Kristin Marin, RN, Jeannette Witzel, RN, Rich Corniola, Respiratory therapist, and Jan Del Chiaro, Radiology technician.
Gail said, "I remember being in the emergency department and asking somebody to call my work to make sure that they knew that I was in a motorcycle accident on my lunch break and wouldn't be back in time for work."
Gail says, "June 27, 2011 forever changed me. I plan to celebrate that day for the rest of my life by volunteering to give service to others who are in need. I am so lucky and fortunate to have been through this experience as I appreciate everything that I have and everyone around me. I would like to encourage everyone to give blood. Giving blood saves lives and it saved mine." Gail ultimately received 9 pints of blood during her hospitalization.
It was Christmas morning and Bud had his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren at his house for a Christmas celebration. Bud's family was surprising him with the gift he had wanted - a large flat screen TV. As they were deciding where to place the TV, Buddy suddenly turned and walked into the kitchen where he collapsed on the floor. His son, Tom heard a large "thump" and his granddaughter, Aurelia, heard the same loud noise. She thought, "Oh no, they dropped grandpa's TV," and immediately ran back into the house. Buddy was on the floor unconscious, with snoring respirations.
Karen Ronk took the 911 call from Aurelia and immediately dispatched Ukiah Fire Department.
Tom, who is also an EMT and was a volunteer fireman, immediately started to render medical aid to his father with the assistance of his brother, Phil. During his assessment he realized that his father was not breathing and pulseless and Tom and Phil started CPR.
While they were performing CPR the fire department arrived with Battalion Chief Kevin Jennings, Captain Charlie Miller, and Engineer Larry Goodman. They immediately assessed the situation and took over CPR.
The paramedics Eric Singleton, EMT-P, Rob Ramseier, EMT-P arrived in the Ambulance, assessed Bud's rhythm and immediately defibrillated him. They continued to perform CPR and established an airway and IV.
Bud was defibrillated seven times before he arrived at the Emergency Department.
Upon arrival at UVMC's ED, the patient and paramedics were met by Dr. Mark Luoto, Jaimie Chapin, ED technician, Craig Stewart, charge nurse, Skip Wilkins, RN, Tammy Wilkins, RN, Jay Girard, RN and Enrique Ramirez, ED technician.
After Buddy was defibrillated in the ED and converted to a sustainable rhythm, the family gathered around the bed and began to pray and sing. Once he was stabilized in the ED he was transferred to the ICU.
While in the ICU other bear singers gathered, traveling from Covelo, Lake County and Lemoore, California where they drummed and prayed for Buddy while he was unconscious and on a ventilator. Family spreading from as far north as Washington State, down to Pala, California and Mesa, Arizona spent the night praying for a healthy recovery.
Although Buddy was not responding to any other stimuli he continued to tap his fingers to the rhythm of the drum and dreamed. He was in a crowded place with multiple people all around him. He could hear them singing Native American songs and he could hear drumming. As he got closer to the faces he was surprised that these singers, who were singing from all different tribes, were the faces of white men. The faces appeared familiar but he did not recognize them or know their names. He thought, "Why are white men singing our native songs? How did they learn them?"
After his recovery and the placement of a pacemaker/defibrillator, Bud was discharged from the hospital. His sister brought him many items that his mother had for over 60 years, including items from his military service, where he was a Paratrooper in the Korean War.
In the belongings was a photograph from his paratrooper class. Buddy immediately recognized the faces from his dream. They were the people who were singing their songs to him. He could name each and every paratrooper by name from his vision. And he thought all of them must be dead now, for they would all be at least in their 80s!
The evening closed as a Wylacki prayer was given.

Reversing prior rulings, the California Agriculture Labor Relations Board has cleared the way for Gerawan Farming employees to vote on whether United Farm Workers will continue to represent them.
The election is Nov. 5 at Gerawan Farming sites in Kerman and Reedley, Calif.
Silas Shawver, the board's regional director, on Sept. 25 rejected a petition for such an election, citing insufficient signatures and some forgeries. On Oct. 31 he ruled in response to another petition that the election would remain blocked until Gerawan Farming resolved complaints about unfair labor practices.
But a board review resulted in the scheduling of the election.
An Oct. 30 filing by Shawver and the board's general counsel, Sylvia Torres-Guillen, outlined alleged unfair labor practices at Gerawan Farming that included:
- denying union requests for information;
- failing to acknowledge the union as the employees' certified representative; and
- unilaterally changing terms of employment.
But some of the issues raised there had previously been remedied, according to the company.
"(The) decision is an historic event," Ray Gerawan, Mike Gerawan, Dan Gerawan and Norma Gerawan said in a statement. "We are humbled by the perserverance of so many workers who never gave up hope that the board would listen to their pleas. For the second time this week, the board overturned a decision by the regional director that would have snuffed out that right."
Gerawan employs more than 2,000 farm workers.
United Farm Workers became certified at Gerawan Farming in 1992. But no collective bargaining agreement was established and negotiations ended in 1995, according to board records. The union contacted the company in October 2012, seeking to resume talks.

This hot asian babe was at a party I attended for some friends of mine who were going on vacation, she came in and did a seductive dance in her skimpy clothes and took off what she wore one thing at a time showing us horny guys what she had to offer. She was nude showing her hairy pussy and nice tits as she went around the room making passes at all the guys here. We decided to get her and hold her down and put some well lubed fingers in her hairy snatch. She moaned and wanted more as the evening went on.
"My friend Jo introduced me to her horny friend Mi, we got along great and she was a horny thing. her best feature was her big tits which I saw right away. We hit it off and went out so she could show me the town. We wound up at her place wth my dick up her tight twat pumping the hell out of her. Just as I was hitting the finish line she moved and I pulled out, she then attacked my throbbng cock like it was lunch and sucked me off until I came in her mouth. I have never seen such a cock hungry babe! "
We met this horny gal at the bar we were sitting in, she came up to us and offered to buy us drinks! Surprised at her boldness we accepted. Several drinks later she was inviting us both up to her room for some fun and games. We went of course, no guy in his right mind would turn this hottie down. When we got there she immediately was on her knees unzipping our flies and trying to stuff both hard cocks into her mouth. Failing this, she sucked off my friend while givng me the best handjob I ever had!
I met this little gal at a party for a friend, she was the center piece, and gagged to a table in the middle of the room at the mercy of the boys in the room. They were enjoying her inhability to defend herself against the sexual onslaught they were beginning on her with the dildos that were left just for that use. She squirmed as they lubed up their fingers and used them on her helpless pussy before getting out the dildos she had brought in her party pack. As the party continued, they noticed she was smiling behind the gag she wore.

The tribes of Reuben and Gad request an inheritance on the east of Jordan. (1-5) Moses reproves the Reubenites and Gadites. (6-15) They explain their views, Moses consents. (16-27) They take possession of the land to the east of Jordan. (28-42)
Verses 1-5 Here is a proposal made by the Reubenites and Gadites, that the land lately conquered might be allotted to them. Two things common in the world might lead these tribes to make this choice; the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. There was much amiss in the principle they went upon; they consulted their own private convenience more than the public good. Thus to the present time, many seek their own things more than the things of Jesus Christ; and are led by worldly interests and advantages to take up short of the heavenly Canaan.
Verses 6-15 The proposal showed disregard to the land of Canaan, distrust of the Lord's promise, and unwillingness to encounter the difficulties and dangers of conquering and driving out the inhabitants of that land. Moses is wroth with them. It will becomes any of God's Israel to sit down unconcerned about the difficult and perilous concerns of their brethren, whether public or personal. He reminds them of the fatal consequences of the unbelief and faint-heartedness of their fathers, when they were, as themselves, just ready to enter Canaan. If men considered as they ought what would be the end of sin, they would be afraid of the beginning of it.
Verses 16-27 Here is the good effect of plain dealing. Moses, by showing their sin, and the danger of it, brought them to their duty, without murmuring or disputing. All men ought to consider the interests of others as well as their own; the law of love requires us to labour, venture, or suffer for each other as there may be occasion. They propose that their men of war should go ready armed before the children of Israel into the land of Canaan, and that they should not return till the conquest of Canaan was ended. Moses grants their request, but he warns them of the danger of breaking their word. If you fail, you sin against the Lord, and not against your brethren only; God will certainly reckon with you for it. Be sure your sin will find you out. Sin will surely find out the sinner sooner or later. It concerns us now to find our sins out, that we may repent of them, and forsake them, lest they find us out to our ruin.
Verses 28-42 Concerning the settlement of these tribes, observe, that they built the cities, that is, repaired them. They changed the names of them; probably they were idolatrous, therefore they should be forgotten. A spirit of selfishness, of seeking our own, not the things of Christ, when each one ought to assist others, is as dangerous as it is common. It is impossible to be sincere in the faith, sensible of the goodness of God, constrained by the love of Christ, sanctified by the power of the Holy Ghost, and yet be indifferent to the progress of religion, and the spiritual success of others, through love of ease, or fear of conflict. Let then your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Numbers 32:1-42 . THE REUBENITES AND GADITES ASK FOR AN INHERITANCE.
1-5. the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead--A complete conquest had been made of the country east of the Jordan, comprising "the land of Jazer," which formed the southern district between the Arnon and Jabbok and "the land of Gilead," the middle region between the Jabbok and Jarmouk, or Hieromax, including Bashan, which lay on the north of that river. The whole of this region is now called the Belka. It has always been famous for its rich and extensive pastures, and it is still the favorite resort of the Bedouin shepherds, who frequently contend for securing to their immense flocks the benefit of its luxuriant vegetation. In the camp of ancient Israel, Reuben and Gad were pre-eminently pastoral; and as these two tribes, being placed under the same standard, had frequent opportunities of conversing and arranging about their common concerns, they united in preferring a request that the trans-jordanic region, so well suited to the habits of a pastoral people, might be assigned to them.
6-19. Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here--Their language was ambiguous; and Moses, suspicious that this proposal was an act of unbelief, a scheme of self-policy and indolence to escape the perils of warfare and live in ease and safety, addressed to them a reproachful and passionate remonstrance. Whether they had really meditated such a withdrawal from all share in the war of invasion, or the effect of their leader's expostulation was to drive them from their original purpose, they now, in answer to his impressive appeal, declared it to be their sincere intention to co-operate with their brethren; but, if so, they ought to have been more explicit at first.
16. they came near--The narrative gives a picturesque description of this scene. The suppliants had shrunk back, dreading from the undisguised emotions of their leader that their request would be refused. But, perceiving, from the tenor of his discourse, that his objection was grounded only on the supposition that they would not cross the Jordan to assist their brethren, they became emboldened to approach him with assurances of their goodwill.
We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones--that is, rebuild, repair. It would have been impossible within two months to found new cities, or even to reconstruct those which had been razed to the ground. Those cities of the Amorites were not absolutely demolished, and they probably consisted only of mud-built, or dry-stone walls.
17. and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land--There was good policy in leaving a sufficient force to protect the conquered region lest the enemy should attempt reprisals; and as only forty thousand of the Reubenites and the Gadites, and a half of Manasseh, passed over the Jordan ( Joshua 4:13 ), there were left for the security of the new possessions 70,580 men, besides women and children under twenty years (compare Numbers 26:7 Numbers 26:18 Numbers 26:34 ).
We ourselves will go ready armed--that is, all of us in a collective body, or as many as may be deemed necessary, while the rest of our number shall remain at home to provide for the sustenance and secure the protection of our families and flocks.
20-33. Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing--with sincerity and zeal.
go before the Lord to war--The phrase was used in allusion to the order of march in which the tribes of Reuben and Gad immediately preceded the ark ( Numbers 10:18-21 ), or to the passage over the Jordan, in which the ark stood in mid-channel, while all the tribes marched by in succession ( Joshua 3:4 ), of course including those of Reuben and Gad, so that, literally, they passed over before the Lord and before the rest of Israel ( Joshua 4:13 ). Perhaps, however, the phrase is used merely in a general sense to denote their marching on an expedition, the purpose of which was blessed with the presence, and destined to promote the glory, of God. The displeasure which Moses had felt on the first mention of their proposal had disappeared on the strength of their solemn assurances. But a lurking suspicion of their motives seems still to have been lingering in his mind--he continued to speak to them in an admonitory strain; and he concluded by warning them that in case of their failing to redeem their pledge, the judgments of an offended God would assuredly fall upon them. This emphatic caution against such an eventuality throws a strong doubt on the honesty of their first intentions; and yet, whether through the opposing attitude or the strong invectives of Moses they had been brought to a better state of mind, their final reply showed that now all was right.
28-32. concerning them Moses commanded--The arrangement itself, as well as the express terms on which he assented to it, was announced by the leader to the public authorities. The pastoral country the two tribes had desired was to be granted them on condition that they would lend their aid to their brethren in the approaching invasion of Canaan. If they refused or failed to perform their promise, those possessions should be forfeited, and they themselves compelled to go across the Jordan and fight for a settlement like the rest of their brethren.
33. half the tribe of Manasseh--It is nowhere explained in the record how they were incorporated with the two tribes, or what broke this great tribe into two parts, of which one was left to follow the fortunes of its brethren in the settled life of the western hills, while the other was allowed to wander as a nomadic tribe over the pasture lands of Gilead and Bashan. They are not mentioned as accompanying Reuben and Gad in their application to Moses [ Numbers 32:1 ]; neither were they included in his first directions ( Numbers 32:25 ); but as they also were a people addicted to pastoral pursuits and possessed as immense flocks as the other two, Moses invited the half of them to remain, in consequence, probably, of finding that this region was more than sufficient for the pastoral wants of the others, and he may have given them the preference, as some have conjectured, for their valorous conduct in the contests with the Amorites (compare Numbers 32:39 , with Joshua 17:1 ).
34-36. And the children of Gad
Dibon--identified with Dheban, now in ruins, an hour's distance from the Arnon (Mojeb).
Ataroth (Hebrew, "crowns")--There are several towns so called in Scripture, but this one in the tribe of Gad has not been identified.
Aroer--now Arair, standing on a precipice on the north bank of the Arnon.
35-38. Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, &c.--Jaazer, near a famed fountain, Ain Hazier, the waters of which flow into Wady Schaib, about fifteen miles from Hesbon.

38. (their names being changed)--either because it was the general custom of conquerors to do so; or, rather, because from the prohibition to mention the names of other gods ( Exodus 23:13 ), as Nebo and Baal were, it was expedient on the first settlement of the Israelites to obliterate all remembrance of those idols. (See Joshua 13:17-20 ).
