Recently, the Southeastern California Conference-which I believe is the largest conference in the North American Division – made history by electing Dr. Sandra Roberts as the first elected female Conference President in the history of our church.
I wanted to share with you my thoughts on her election and the events that took place as a result.
I remember a conversation I had with one of our Pastors, Elder Furman Fordham, Senior Pastor, Nashville Riverside Chapel. I cannot remember the discussion, but in it, Elder Fordham used a quote from Steven Covey that he said guided him. My middle-aged memory will probably prevent me from remembering the quotation verbatim. But it went something like this: In order to be understood, seek first to understand.
I thought about that quote when I thought about what I should say to you relative to the election of Dr. Roberts and the reaction to it, especially the reaction to the message that Dr. Ted Wilson, the President of the General Conference, reportedly sent to Dr. Ricardo Graham, President of the Pacific Union, who was chairing the constituency meeting that elected Dr. Roberts.
Dr. Wilson was reported to have told Dr. Graham that, if Southeastern elected Dr. Roberts, the General Conference would not recognize her election.
Dr. Wilson's remarks engendered a lot of commentary around the North American Division (and probably around the world field as well).
As you formulate your own thoughts and ideas about what the leader of our church said, I would like to suggest the last part of the quotation from Steve Covey: Seek to understand. That is to say, one may not agree with what they think is the position of Dr. Wilson or the constituents of the Southeastern California Conference. But it might be helpful to understand why they may have taken the positions that they did.
Then, at the end of this series, I'll tell you my position, and I hope that you will seek to understand that position as well.
Let's start with President Wilson's statement about not recognizing the election of Dr. Roberts:
It is probably not the most popular statement that he will ever make-at least, as it relates to the conference, union and division leadership in the North American Division. Furthermore, in all candor, there is not a whole lot that the General Conference can do about whom the Southeastern California Conference, or any other conference, elects as Conference President. The President of a conference is elected by the constituents of that conference.
I truly hope that no one takes this as being disrespectful of the General Conference President; that is not what I intend at all. To the contrary, I have enormous respect for both the Office of the President of the General Conference and the person who currently holds that office.
We had the privilege of having Dr. Wilson preach for our Camp Meeting in 2012. As such, I had the privilege of hosting him for a day. He and I went out to eat on Friday and I was with him all day on that Sabbath. He had dinner with my extended family on Sabbath.
I had a wonderful time-it is one of the highlights of my time in this office. He is an enormously nice, down to earth person. I have not heard anybody, including people who probably do not agree with him on anything, say that he is not a nice, sincere Christian man.
But like all of us in leadership, there are limits on what he can do. One of those limits for him is that whether the General Conference recognizes the election of a President of a conference or not, that lack of recognition has virtually zero effect on that conference or that Conference President. The election of Conference Presidents is not a function of the General Conference.
There is very little direct interaction between the leadership of the General Conference and the leadership of the typical conference. The General Conference leadership is more likely to interact with the leadership of a division.
In fact, one of the things that really impressed me about Dr. Wilson was the fact that when we ran into each other a few months after having met for the first time that he actually remembered who I was. I mean, here is someone who interacts with a zillion people around the world. He had no reason to remember who I was. But, he did.
But understand that Dr. Wilson pretty much had to react in some manner when Southeastern California elected a female as the leader of its conference. By policy, a person who is not ordained, male or female, cannot serve as Conference President.
Here is where things get interesting: I suspect that Dr. Roberts has been ordained-the Pacific Union allows female Pastors to be ordained. Ordinations are voted through unions, and almost certainly, the Pacific Union has voted her ordination, which would make her eligible under the policies of the Southeastern California Conference and the Pacific Union, to be a Conference President.
But the General Conference did not recognize the action of the Pacific Union, which voted last year to ordain Pastors without respect to gender. Essentially, therefore, the Pacific Union says that Dr. Roberts is ordained and can be elected Conference President, while the General Conference says she is not ordained and cannot be Conference President.
I do not know for certain how Dr. Wilson feels about the ordination of women (I could guess, but it would be just a guess), but on some level, it does not matter. As the President of the General Conference, he is bound to uphold the policies of the General Conference, whether he agrees with those policies or not.
As President of South Central, I sometimes have to deal with policies that I do not like. But there is a process for addressing policies that one does not like and generally speaking, that process does not allow for me to simply ignore the policies I do not like.
Policies are not the same as a Thus saith the Lord - and all of us need to remember that. But we also need to understand that policy represents the rules that we have agreed to guide how we all work together.
ANY organization HAS to have rules. That is true of your family, your job, your church, etc. But that would especially apply to an organization such as the Seventh-day Adventist Church that has millions of members, multiple thousands of workers, and institutions around the world-we have to have to rules or there would be chaos.
Part of Dr. Wilson's job is to uphold the policies of the General Conference. That is what he did. He said that the policies of the General Conference do not allow Dr. Sandra Roberts to be President of Southeastern California Conference; and they do not. Whether the policy should say that or whether it should say that a female should be denied ordination solely on the basis of her gender, is a separate issue.
On some level, you have to admire the General Conference President. He had to know, for example, that his position was not going to find a whole lot of support among the leadership in the conferences and unions of the North American Division. Moreover, he had to know that there was absolutely no chance that saying that the General Conference would refuse to recognize the election of Dr. Roberts would change anything at all.
Because he had to know that saying what he said was not going to change anything at all, he could have just remained silent. But, he spoke out, saying that this is a violation of the rules that we have as an organization – because, it is a violation of the rules that we have as an organization.
But the fact is, agree with it or not, the General Conference's policy is what it is. And it is Dr. Wilson's job as General Conference President to remind people of what that policy says and the fact that there is a process – one that is going on right now – for the people who disagree with that policy to change that policy. He is supposed to uphold that policy until it is not the policy any more.
Now, it is quite possible – maybe even likely – that policy is what it is, in part, because Dr. Wilson wants that to be the policy; I do not know, that is way above my pay grade. But, in the end, that does not really matter. His job is to uphold the policies of the General Conference; including that one.
Next time, we shall look at what triggered all of this-the decision of Southeastern California to elect Dr. Roberts as President.
Until then-Happy Thanksgiving!

The proper version of the Salt teaser trailer, starring Angelina Jolie, has gone up online.
You may have caught the Russian version, but unless you speak Russian, most of the dialogue would have been impenetrable.
Still, the action played well enough and now we all get to enjoy it with the added bonus of the original voices.
It's being described as Lady Bourne Identity, and we can certainly see that. Jolie knows how to handle action - and it has a solid supporting cast which includes Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

* Prices may differ from that shown
having purchased an easy grabber from max tv and after several attemps to download the software after getting in touch with them i was told by an engineer that the system will only work on a 32 bit operating system the presenter who sells this gaget omits to tell you this so now i am left with a totally useless piece of junk as i have had it more than 14 days they will not refund my money but they will give me a credit note so i can purchase some more useless gagets so anyone purchasing this wonderful grabber be warned it will only operate on a 32 bit operating system and they do not have the software for a 64 bit operating system
Ordered a set of cordless straighteners on the 8th november 2008 ! waited until the 15th before i contacted them,and was told they had arrived in there warehouse that very day ??? they would be shipped out that day via UPS and i would receive them 2 days later.5 days later, no straighteners ! telephoned MAX.TV , i was told that the straighteners were not in the uk,they were in germany,and i would receive them aprox 7-10 days later !so obviously i was lied to when i was told they were in the warehouse !wont be using MAX.TV again
I'll probably sound a bit sad here talking about a shopping channel, but i really like Max.TV.
Now its not a live shopping channel like QVC or Ideal World, but it is very professional both looking and with regards to the presenters.
They sell all sorts of electricals, gadgets, game console accessories and other electricals. The channel runs 24 hours a day and if you miss a product it will likely be shown later on in the day.
When i said it looks professional, what i meant is the on-screen information that all shopping channels have, and their own adverts the show between products. The one screen information looks great, is very clear and there are never any spelling or grammar mistakes. It shows all the information you need such as price, P&P price, phone number and website, the item currently on and the item number.
The adverts they have are very professional as well, they use good graphics and media to make impressive adverts.
As i also said, the presenters are very professional as well. There is one main female presenter who does most of the products, but i have seen a second female, and a male presenter who also do some of the presentations. The main female presenter really does know what she is on about with all the products and you can tell she is not just reading from an Autocue or has quickly done a load of internet research first. She seems really friendly and actually makes watching the channel more enjoyable.
I have never really seen the other two presenters much but i know they are also very professional.
They offer some great products. I have only ever ordered one thing from them, an old fashioned popcorn maker. It cost £20 which included a large tub of popping kernels and 5 cinema style tubs. It has £3.95 P&P as well. I ordered it and within about 2-3 days it arrived. It was quite a large box as well so i was very impressed with the P&P cost. The quality of the product is very impressive and i am glad i bought it and i will probably use max tv again. I did order it online from their website at max.tv but you can also order on the phone. Another thing i was impressed with was the fact that they take payment from just about every card, including Solo which i have. QVC and Ideal World don't accept Solo and they are big companies.
The website is also very professional and easy to navigate. There are tabs at the top for grouped items or you can use the search box to either put an item name or the product code if you know it. Also with most of the products you can watch video presentation online and the quality is impressive.
I'm sure i could say more about this channel as it is really good. They do not have a huge number of products but they do have quite a few, and they do use some big brands unlike some shopping channels which only ever have brands you have never heard off. They often sell products for Nintendo Wii's, PS3 and Xbox 360s.
If you are looking for a present for someone, give the website a try at max.tv or if you have sky (and possibly virgin media) visit channel 675 to check out the channel.
MAX TV is the first shopping channel dedicated to videogame accessories, innovative gadgets and toys for boys who are probably old enough to know better.

Each brings unique character to the wine. There is a faint but appealing sappy character that has nothing to do with stems in the ferment, but more to do with the berry size at maturity, ie small. The texture is rich and structured with soft tannins and a good acid finish.

Colonies and Postcolonies of Law Conference
History Department, Princeton University
Friday, March 18th 2011
The conference addresses the centrality of law in the construction of colonial rule. We aim to examine how colonial law emerged as colonialists interacted with diverse populations in the colonies. The study of the relationship between law and colonialism has taken two broad trajectories. On one hand, scholars have highlighted how law provided the instruments for the creation of the colonial state, allowing it to exercise a vast amount of power in restructuring the colony. Conversely, law opened up avenues of resistance for colonized populations. This conference aims to go beyond this dichotomy by focusing on law as a site of constant negotiation which produced new forms of bureaucracy and documentation practices. As colonial legal systems cast long shadows and formed the bedrock of the national legal systems today, this conference will also examine how these colonial legal regimes influence postcolonial nations. The last few years has seen a growth of interest in colonial legal history to which this conference hopes to contribute by bringing junior scholars together in conversation.
2. Prof Lauren Benton from NYU will be delivering the keynote lecture at 12:45 titled:
"Justice by Despots: Patterns of Imperial Legal Politics"
Location: Bowl 1, Robertson Hall
Date/Time: 2011-03-18 at 12:30 pm - 2011-03-18 at 6:00 pm

Science Coordination Team
South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Working Group
(Approved by the SCT: January 14, 2003)
The Everglades has at the core of its identity the slow movement of water across the vast, low gradient, wetland landscape. Marjory Stoneman Douglas eloquently immortalized this identity in her descriptions of the "River of Grass" (Douglas 1947). Drainage and compartmentalization efforts during the 20th century for flood control and water supply purposes interrupted this flow, as well as altering water levels, distribution, and seasonal timing. Water flows are closely linked to water levels, and their alterations have caused environmental damage. Efforts to restore the Everglades have focused on re-establishing more natural hydropatterns – the appropriate water levels, and the location, timing, and duration of these water levels. While these natural hydropatterns are widely recognized as being extremely important, much less attention has been paid to the importance of the actual movement of water, the physical and ecological roles that movement of this water plays, and how management activities have altered that flow. Thus, the Science Coordination Team has chosen understanding the science of the role of flow in the Everglades as one of its priorities. The purpose of this paper is to provide a stimulus for increasing the level of understanding and awareness of the role of flow in restoration activities, and to highlight the urgent need for research in this area.
Pre-drainage Everglades hydrology was dominated by a remarkable flow regime – a 30- milewide expanse of water moving down the low-gradient wetland landscape from north to south. Surprisingly, although Everglades hydrology has flow as one of its defining characteristics, most discussions of hydrology in the Everglades exclude mention of the role of water movement. The movement of water in aquatic ecosystems such as wetlands is a fundamental construct of ecosystem structure and function, and its ecosystem role is well- established. It is likely that water movement plays a similar vital role in the Everglades.
The ridge and slough landscape, one of several major habitat types in the Everglades, originally consisted of a peat-based system of dense sawgrass ridges interspersed with adjacent and relatively open sloughs. These parallel ridges and sloughs existed in an organized pattern, oriented parallel to the flow direction, on a slightly sloping peatland. Unfortunately, compartmentalization and related water management activities are resulting in the loss of this ridge and slough landscape. This loss is evidenced by replacement of the characteristic ridge and slough landscape with a landscape that is more topographically and vegetationally uniform. It is clear that 1) the Everglades ridge and slough landscape has changed, and is continuing to change significantly; and 2) the landscape changes are having detrimental ecological effects on Everglades plants and animals. It is likely that these changes are the result of altered water flow and hydropattern caused by human-made barriers

Are Partners Making An Advanced Services Bet?
Avaya's services programs have seen several revisions in the past two years, as well as several different leaders. But the greater question might be how well Avaya is helping partners make the transition from bread-and-butter maintenance and support services to margin-rich advanced services.
"With the voice and data pieces coming together, you need to have more IT-type skills than you do telecom skills, and you can argue Avaya's channel doesn't have that," said Zeus Kerravala, founder and principal analyst at ZK Research. "When you look at VENA and Aura (pictured), both have much more of an IT bent to them and are presumed to be next-gen platforms. Are partners doing things like network design around that?"

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jin, a Chicago Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Chicago.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chicago already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chicago breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chicago paves the way for another one to be saved.

This is an OP-ED by Stacey Lannert's attorney, Ellen Flottman which appeared at St. Louis Today.com
Blunt's commutation was an act of graceIn one of his last acts as governor, Matt Blunt commuted Stacey Lannert's sentence of life without the possibility of parole to 20 years' imprisonment. With that act of grace, Ms. Lannert's life began again.Ms. Lannert was sexually abused by her father from age 8. Although some people claim there was no evidence of the abuse, the facts are clear. Ms. Lannert's cousin saw evidence of the abuse. Ms. Lannert told a babysitter, who told her only to "be strong." She told a school counselor, who did nothing. A psychologist told Ms. Lannert's mother that she showed all the signs of an abused child. Yet no one helped her. She shot her father, her abuser, when she was 18 years old and she feared that he was molesting her sister.
None of this is an excuse for murder. But society saves the sentence of life without parole for the worst of the worst. Only in recent years have we come to realize that victims of domestic violence are living in a war zone. They come to believe that no one can help them and that their abuser has ultimate control over them. When they resort to violence, they truly are acting in self-defense. And it is a tragedy for all of us. In Ms. Lannert's situation, commutation was her last hope. She had fallen through the cracks of the legal system. Jurors who believed she had been sexually abused also found that she had committed first-degree murder, for which there was no option other than life without parole. A trial judge believed the sentence was too harsh but had no option but to sentence her to life without parole. Courts of review who found her situation sympathetic had no legal options. This is the situation for which commutation and pardon exist.Commutation is an act of grace. It is an act of forgiveness. Mr. Blunt showed his integrity and courage in granting commutation to Ms. Lannert, and he is to be thanked for that. We don't have to condone, we don't even have to understand. We just have to forgive. Ellen H. Flottman | St. LouisAttorney for Stacey Lannert

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
I like my mosin a lot. It shoots great, has a shinny and sharp bore. It would hurt to pay $100 plus, but the price of everything is high now. I got my tula hex for only $60. It was 8 years ago though and I was able to purchase at AIM. They brought out at least 10 guns for me to look at. They were really nice people. SOG was a good place to purchase too.
There are boxer primed shells out there. I think wolf makes some. These are non-corrosive. I personally think it is worth it to get boxer primed shells. Plus you can reload them. |
If you want one of these, and want to make it a bit "sportier," consider swapping out the stock for the new Archangel polymer stock, looks and feels pretty good. It also has adjustable length-of-pull and cheek riser. With it you can also use their new detachable magazines. It lists for $200.
People who think everything gun related revolves around the NRA truly show their ignorance. If it ain't on slick deals.. i ain't buying it.
LMAO. Thats just plain ludicris as you obviosly have no experience cleaning weaponry other than what you gleaned of the net. The copper fouling in the barrel inhibit the ability of the ater to neutralize the corrosive salts the ammonia acting as a release agent aid in raising the copper fouling to aid the water in neutralizing the salts, get over what you think you garner off reading the net and try some actual usage for a change. Yes the NRA has a huge stake in this as they are getting rich off the backs of sportsman like myself and target shooters who for many years (long before you) supported them. But like many older folks(George H.W.Bush and many others in the old guard) disenfranchized ourselves from them yrs ago as they turned against the basis for the formation of the organization and instead turned toward money making. We learned, many did not,now they seek only to inhibit safety standards that need to be met. The Archangel stock is an excellent replacement stock for this rifle, floating barrel, extra mag capacity, adjustable comb, make it a no brainer for longer range shooting, test have been show to produce 5 inch groups at 500 yrds with this stock and a properly modified Mosin. I would suggest a modified bolt from here ,http://maxshepherdbolt
As the costs start adding up i'd start looking at other options but that's just me. I know guys who would and have put 100's into 80 dollar mosins. The surplus ammo is cheap though. I would wait on buying the archangel mosin stock. Let the early adopters iron out any kinks in it, it's not even out yet they just started taking pre orders like a week ago I believe. The only thing worse then buying a 200 dollar stock is buying a 200 dollar stock that has problems. |
The Archangel Stock has been thoroughly tested by several in the know which you obviously are not,otherwise it would not have been introduced at the shot show, are you a kid or just slow, where do you get your facts, gleaned of the net or just guess's. There are no easy optics mounting for any Mosins, tho the best are probably Rocksolid which will require a gunsmith or Jmecks which is reliable and anyone can mount, try to find a rifle capable of 500 yrd shots with acuracy for less than $350 anywhere nowadays is difficult to say the least and surplus ammo while cheap is not near as accurate as hand loads or those by other non-berdan primed suppliers. Now my Boyds stock much like the Archangel was based on the 91/30 frame and it fits it without mods and shoots nicely as it too has a free floated barrel as well as some other mods I had made to it,All stocks will require modification to some degree to get the best performance out of them,but I'd gather from your lack of experience and knowledge you would not really know that I have less than $300 in mine and can shoot the bottom out of a can of corn all day at 300 yrds

Stock was a crazy deals item at Boyds I got for $40, The mount I got from Jmeck when he was 1st starting out and only $30,The bolt was 2nd hand at a gunshow,not thru Boltman or Maxshepard, tho it is a Max Shepard bolt and works fine for the $35 I paid for it,The optics as I recall was thru CDNN and was on sale for like $35 shipped.The rifle was $80 at a gunshow. Theirs a great read at the Rocksolid website on how to properly set up a Mosin for shooting as well as tons of info on the net,but its been my experience thru trial and eror to get to where mine consistently hits the bull at 300 yrds or better ,steels easily at 5-700 yrds as well. Yes mine cost less by bartering and I have had it for quite sometime shooting in competitions for a while now,great rifle, one of many out there that can be made into fine dhooting rifles for pennies on the dollar if you know what to look for and where to shop
That was my point. Zip gun was at shot.. horrible mess at launch Archangels website and youtube channel. I know they're not a reliable source of any information being on the internet and all but it's the best I could do
Have a cookie. Just make sure at the end of the day you use lots of ammonia to cleanup the corrosive salts on surplus ammo |
I bought a few of these years ago when Big 5 had them for $79. This was when one did not need the 10 day wait here in California..just buy and walk out. These were Yugo made, unissued, and beautiful shooters. Accurate too. I suggest wiping down to get all the cosmoline protective grease off..sticky stuff. I then rubbed on 6-7 coats of tung oil and these rifles now look great. It's a rifle that if you run out of ammo, just use as a club..hell for stout made.
My mistake: mine are Hungarian. Last edited by jimx200; 03-26-2013 at 06:51 PM.. |
jimx200 raises a good point in periphery.
The firing pin in the Mosin-Nagant floats. When the rifles were dipped in cosmoline for storage, there was a good chance that the cosmoline entered the bolt assembly (it did on all of mine). This can cause the firing pin to have just enough resistance to fire without a trigger pull when the bolt is closed quickly. Since the horrible "safety" is part of the bolt, nothing prevents this. If you clean nothing else on your Mosin-Nagant, disassemble and clean the bolt assembly. |

ABC News' Dana Hughes in Nairobi reports:
Ahead of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's seven-nation trip to Africa this week, the Obama administration is texting all Africans (or non-Africans in Africa, like this reporter) who sent a question or comment during last month's Ghana visit.
This time the administration isn't asking to hear from Africans, but wants them to follow Hillary's trip on America.gov, Facebook, and Twitter using the searchable term #HillaryAfrica.
Thousands of Africans sent in questions before, during and after President Obama's speech in Ghana. The president answered selected questions chosen from various African journalists in a podcast shortly after returning to Washington, D.C., but as an immediate response, anyone who registered received highlights of the speech, and will continue to receive updates from the administration.
The latest text message urged Africans to take note of Hillary's trip. The text begins: "Following Obama's historic trip, Sec. Clinton visits Africa."
The text messages are part of the Obama administration's push for using technology to reach global audiences, especially in Africa. Before the Ghana speech, the administration set up the text messaging service in both English and French, providing short codes for the sub-continent's most populous countries. It worked; nearly every African country was represented in the responses. Here, text messaging is the cheapest and easiest form of communication. Telephone land-lines are expensive, internet connectivity is spotty outside of metropolitan areas, but cell phones can be found in even the most remote villages.
"I think that the enthusiasm of Africans, especially young people, to use technology to engage with us shows the very potential and promise of the continent that the president stressed in his speech," Judith Michale, Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs told reporters last month.
"Africans are as technologically capable and eager for connections with the world as any people on Earth," Michale said.

What can I say, I love to bake. I find it relaxing, but I don't feel like I'm just lying around, because I am actually doing something. I started baking a few years ago. Just making cookies and that kind of thing for my family, then I started baking more for the holidays and things like that. I love making things that are really good and everybody wants the recipe. I like to eat healthy so it always a challenge to find recipes that are relatively fat free, but that also taste good. I hope you enjoy some of the recipes that I have posted.
Probably one of my favorite cookies is the ginger cookie. I absolutely love baking them and everybody wants me to make it for them. I love Chinese food, but who doesn't. I also love Indian food like tandoori chicken and that kind of flavor.

DONE DEAL: French media group Lagardère said today that it has acquired more than the majority of French online shopping guide LeGuide.com's share capital at the end of a voluntary public offer.
Lagardère didn't specify terms of the deal or the stake it now owns in the company.
The group has been persistent in its quest for LeGuide.com, having raised its takeover offer to 28 euros, or $35.40 at current exchange, per share, from 24 euros, or $30.30, per share in early June.
It said Lagardère Active, the firm's multimedia division, would "strengthen its position on the performance-based monetization market, and thus confirms its strategy of digitalization and its positioning on creation and monetization of audiences."

Point Source Audio⢠Extends Power of the âUnbreakable Boomâ? for Only $49 More
Novato, Calif. â Point Source Audio, manufacturer of the unique bendable boom ear worn microphoneâknown as the âtoughestâ? ear-worn microphone in the industryâis launching the CO-6 model earset microphone with the upgraded bendable boom feature for only $49 more. Like its sister CO-5 model, the new CO-6 version features equivalent speech optimized characteristics at maximum 125dB SPL, but now includes all the premium attributes that come with the celebrated âunbreakable boom.â? InfoComm visitors are invited to test the âunbreakable boomâ? at the Point Source Audio Booth C6741 at Infocomm 2010 in Las Vegas.
âFor a lightweight and delicate style ear-worn microphone, you canât get more durable than our bendable boom,â? noted James Lamb, President of Point Source Audio. âTypically, the boom receives the most wear and tear in usage so it just makes sense that youâd want to protect that element and extend the life of your microphone.â? Every one of the PSA microphones also includes a protective cable strain relief, and hard-wired connector to increase reliability.
The CO-6 Ear-Worn Microphone Key Features:
⢠Bendable boom up to 360â¦
⢠Water resistance
⢠Protective cable strain relief to minimize breakage
⢠Hardwired connectors for reliable performance
⢠Wearable four (4) ways
⢠125dB maximum SPL
⢠40 Hz – 17kHz frequency
Point Source Audio introduced its speech optimized CO-5 earset microphone over two years ago to bring the luxury of ear-worn microphones to the massesâincluding Education and Houses of Worship venues that needed a high quality speech microphone at a justifiable price. The CO-6 extends this great value even further with the highly durable âunbreakable boomâ? for only $49 more. The CO-6 is an omni-directional, back-electret condenser ear-worn microphone with the ability to handle 125dB of sound pressure. The microphone is compatible with PSAâs Dual Earset Mic Clip accessory allowing users to also wear the microphone in up to four (4) configurations: single left or right ear wearing, and dual left or right ear wearing.
The CO-6 comes standard with either a 3.5mm locking mini-connector for Sennheiser® Evolution Series wireless body packs, a Hirose 4-pin connector for most Audio-Technica® body packs, or the mini-XLR connector for most Shure wireless body packs. Compatible connectors for other popular wireless systems are also available upon request.
Availability & Pricing:
The CO-6 earset microphone is premiering at InfoComm and will be shipping in June with an MSRP of $348. All PSA mics can be purchased at local music and pro-sound resellers, and system integration contractors listed at the companyâs website www.point-sourceaudio.com.
About Point Source Audio
Point Source Audio manufactures and distributes worldwide a unique line of lightweight bendable boom ear worn microphonesâknown as the âtoughestâ? ear-worn microphones in the industry. As a result of PSAâs pro-audio expertise and its admired reputation for sales and service support, the company has also been recently named Digigramâs Master Distributor for the Americas. The world renowed brand of Digigram sound cards, Audio over IP products, and Ethersound audio networking technology are now available from Point Source Audio. Founded in 2004, Point Source Audio is headquartered in Novato, Calif. For more information call (415) 226-1122 or visit www.point-sourceaudio.com.

Our Featured Olmsted Falls, OH Partner:
Kitty Cat Adoptions
Cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Olmsted Falls, OH 44138 (440) 840-2900 |
Email: Website: http://www.kittycatadoptions.org |
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Olmsted Falls, OHCuyahoga County
About Our Rescue Group:
Kitty Cat Adoptions is the place to go if you're looking to adopt a cat or kitten who is suitable to your individual needs. We are not a shelter, and at this time, have few fosters. Kitty Cat Adoptions is primarily run & funded by one person.* We will courtesy post for people who want to relinquish their pets. However, the cats must be altered and up to date on shots.
Donate to Our Rescue Group...
Come Meet our Pets:
Please contact Brandi Lynn Borgia at firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone (440) 840 - 2900 to make arrangements to meet one of our cats or kittens.Our Adoption Process:
Our cats are $75 and our kittens are $90. All Kitty Cat Adoptions' cats & kittens are spayed, neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and treated with preventative flea/tick/parasite medication prior to adoption. Adoption donations are non-refundable.Adoption fees can vary based on the pets age, breed, temperament, special needs, and size. For example, we do charge more for purebred and highly adoptable animals. This is not because we feel they are more valuable, or are trying to make money- there is no profit in animal rescue. The increased donation is mainly for their protection since "flippers" scour ads for cats they can acquire cheaply and turn around and sell for profit. There is also a greater demand for purebreds. This higher adoption donation allows Kitty Cat Adoptions to generate increased resources to help a greater number of animals in need. * OFCR doesn't receive regular donations and receives no funding. The founder pays out of pocket to meet all the needs of the rescued cats and kittens. The adoption donation(s) we charge for our purebreds is a fraction of what is charged by pet stores and breeders.
We provide the initial veterinary care for all cats kittens, saving the new owners the expense and trouble of having these services performed. We may charge a reduced adoption donation for Senior or Special Needs cats/kittens.
Adoption Donations cover the following services, which all Kitty Cat Adoptions cats and kittens receive prior to adoption:
Spay or Neuter
Age-appropriate vaccinations
Initial treatment for parasites (worms, fleas, ticks, etc.)
With every adoption, you will receive your new pets medical records

Why ads?By Bob Nagy
KBB Expert Rating: 8.0
While the Coupe, Sport Wagon and all CTS-V models carry over unchanged (see our 2013 Cadillac CTS review), the fully redesigned, 3rd-generation 2014 CTS Sedan embodies an entirely new level of style, stature, technology and performance. Three engines – including the 420-horsepower V6 Twin Turbo in the CTS Vsport – rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), and an available adaptive suspension give the new midsize 4-door an exceptional combination of sophistication and exhilaration. Slightly larger than its predecessor, the all-new CTS Sedan also is significantly lighter, a synergistic combination that benefits its ability to both carve corners and pamper passengers. Equally important, this comprehensive recasting gives the CTS Sedan world-class credentials that let it go head-to-head with targeted rivals like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Expressive design, impressive dynamic qualities and polished Cadillac character make all versions of the CTS appealing, but the all-new Sedan raises those benchmark qualities to new levels in all three areas.
If Cadillac's edgy styling isn't your thing, or you prefer more traditionally Teutonic approach to your midsize luxury, you'll likely be happier with an Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz alternative.
The Cadillac CTS Sedan has been completely redesigned for the 2014 model year. Save for revised exterior colors, all other models carry forward unchanged.
Driving Impressions The carryover members of the CTS lineup remain desirable travel mates in their own right, but it's the 2014 CTS Sedan that takes GM's luxury division to a new and...
... even better place. Based on a stretched version of the sophisticated Alpha platform that also underpins Cadillac's compact ATS, the 2014 CTS 4-door boasts superior control and agility under all conditions. This is especially true on models equipped with Magnetic Ride Control, which complements the enhanced dynamic character with Cadillac-level comfort and even more advanced driver-focused technology. Smooth and capable in rear-drive or all-wheel-drive models, the 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 will remain the most popular CTS motivator, but we found the new Sedan-only 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder an enticing alternative. While nothing equals the pure adrenaline rush of a CTS-V's 556-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8, the new 420-horsepower V6 Twin Turbo in the CTS Vsport comes tantalizingly close in real-world terms – and for considerably less money.MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL SUSPENSION
Available on all CTS Sedans and standard on the CTS-V, Vsport and all Sedans with 18-inch and 19-inch wheel/tire fitments, Magnetic Ride Control offers real-time multi-mode damper programming that fine tunes the car's ride. In CTS-V/Vsport "Sport"/"Track" settings, it also tweaks steering effort and shift mapping to more performance-oriented configurations.
Excusive to the new Vsport CTS Sedan, this tech-rich force-fed stormer makes an exhilarating 420-horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Cadillac is quick to note that the Twin Turbo only shares about 10 percent of its components with the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter six offered in other CTS models.
Like their exteriors, the impressively well-appointed cabins of the 2014 CTS line reflect two different but related takes on the same design DNA. Leatherette or genuine leather and real wood, metal or carbon fiber accents help define the luxury-sport character of every variant, but only the recast CTS Sedan brings new touches to the formula including a more elegantly contoured dash and console, revised control layouts, and upgraded seats with standard 14-way power adjustment up front. It's also the only CTS to offer the sophisticated albeit slightly quirky CUE (Cadillac User Experience) infotainment/telematics system – which is standard on all models.
ExteriorCadillac has spent the last decade refining its signature "Art & Science" design philosophy, and the CTS family reflects the most highly expressive manifestation of that look to date. While bold edges, prominent "shield" grille treatments and vertical lighting elements are trademark cues of the entire lineup, the new CTS Sedan expands those distinctive visual vistas by adding a more contemporary flair. Longer and lower than the 4-door it replaces, the 2014 CTS Sedan matches more refined proportions with an extra 1.2 inches of wheelbase and enhances its sleeker aerodynamic profile through the use of active grille shutters on 4-cylinder models.
All 2014 CTS models include a long list of comfort/convenience items from dual-zone climate control and Bose premium audio to Sirius XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth and OnStar with one year of Directions and Connections. The all-new CTS Sedan steps up the mix with things like standard active noise cancellation, three USB ports, an SD card slot and shifter paddles on all models. Standard safety and security equipment includes Stabilitrak stability and traction control, automatic on/off headlights, programmable power door locks, and a theft-deterrent system – and where the carryover CTS models only have six airbags, the new CTS Sedan comes with 10.
All CTS models can be had in a variety of trim "collections" and offer additional packages that build on each other to further sweeten the feature mix and allow even greater personalization. In the case of the new CTS Sedan, buyers can select from eight different interior "environments" and transition though Standard, Luxury Performance and Premium grades – plus Vsport/Vsport Premium models adding full-leather upholstery, a Driver Awareness Package, all-wheel drive, a reconfigurable digital instrument cluster, head-up display, navigation, Bose Surround Sound Audio, Automatic Parallel Park Assist, Magnetic Ride Control, an electronic limited-slip differential, and more.
Please accept our apologies, but get ready to get confused: The 2014 CTS lineup includes five highly sophisticated engines, two exclusive to the new Sedan. Anchoring the mix is a free-revving 272-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder backed by a 6-speed automatic transmission in both rear-drive and all-wheel-drive Sedan models. While the 270-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 is only found in the base Sport Wagon, the 318/321-horsepower (model-dependent) 3.6-liter naturally-aspirated V6 is shared by all body styles and paired with an 8-speed automatic in new CTS rear-drive Sedans but a 6-speed automatic in all other applications. The 420-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 Twin Turbo in the rear-drive Vsport Turbo gets the new 8-speed automatic, while CTS-Vs match their supercharged 556-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 with a 6-speed manual or optional 6-speed automatic. Both transmissions in the new Sedan feature steering-wheel-mounted shifter paddles.

Like its midsize sport-luxury rivals, pricing for the 2014 Cadillac CTS lineup spans a fairly broad but very competitive range that still starts around $40,000 for the carryover Coupe and Sport Wagon and runs to roughly $65,000 for the CTS-V Coupe/Sedan/Wagon power trio. With its new emphasis on raising image, the redesigned CTS Sedan moves the window up a modest notch. The standard-spec 2.0-liter Turbo variant opens just over $46,000 and the CTS Vsport Premium commences a few dollars shy of $70K – although the standard Vsport brings the same performance for $10,000 less. Historically, the baseline CTS models have retained slightly less value over time than their BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class rivals, but the new CTS Sedan could reverse that trend. CTS-V models are expected to maintain residuals slightly below those of the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG but slightly above those of the Audi S6.

"I am very pleased with the car. Great design, always gets looks. I have been lucky to have owned some nice looking cars (traded a Honda S-2000)and none come close to this car. Quality inside and out. I test drove all the German competitors and they are not as engaging to drive. I was worried about the CUE system when I bought the car because of the expert reviews(finger prints). Don't be, you set up most settings once and can use the toggle buttons on the steering wheel for most things. I think I wiped the screen twice in a year. Run Flat Tires only negative."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 13,500
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "Performance, styling, build quality, comfort"
Cons: "Hesitant between slow speed shifts, tire noise"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"It was time to reluctantly trade my 07 Cadillac CTS Sport on a new car. Hearing all the hype about the 2014 CTS, and my love of my 07, convinced me to buy one. I got a fully loaded 2.0T CTS4. My love affair with my previous CTS has been quickly replaced by a car that exceeds it in almost every way. The 4 cylinder engine provides amazing power and agility. The transmission hesitates from time to time at lower speeds, which an eight speed will fix. There also seems to be more tire noise than I find acceptable for a premium vehicle, but that may just be the Pirelli's. These are the only faults I have found. The interior is impeccable and tasteful. The build quality far exceeds my first CTS. Tight tolerances, no rattles, and high end materials. The seats are just the right amount of firmness to be perfectly comfortable. The best part, though, is the driving experience. This car is just plain fun. It's powerful, responsive, and always draws the eyes of admirers. There is so much to love about this car that you can't go wrong if you get one, too"

"Hanging up on private cell companies" (Asian Business, Mar. 5) overlooks the fact that the government bailed out private cell companies last year by drastically reducing their license fees and developing a revenue-sharing formula.
Instead of asking for protection, private cell operators should consider moving up the value chain by providing better services and more add-on features such as e-mail and voice-mail and concentrating on new technologies like 3G.

Wedding Invites
Vision of Love Pocket Invitations After ordering countless samples from tons of sites, and specifically this sample in literally 20 colors.. We decided on the black with light pink and grey accents. It was very elegant looking! I was a little disappointed as a few came a bit worn due to shipping, but other than those few of the hundred they looked really good!
I was impressed..
Vision of Love Pocket Invitations Very good quality. If there was an issue that they wanted to double check they would call before it went to production. The communication was awesome. if i had one bad thin to say it would be the vellum straps are seperate from the incitations but are not listed as an add on for vision of love so it was not until after our order got here that we realized it. not a big deal at all.. i still aay this place was Awesome!
lovely invitations and enclosure cards
Vision of Love Pocket Invitations I had a great experience ordering my wedding invitations from Magnet Street. The staff was incredibly helpful the times I contacted them via phone or chat service. Once I placed my order I received the product within two weeks and in perfect condition. The invitations are very elegant yet simple, and I love that I could personalize everything from font type to color. Great website and very reasonable prices! I will definitely use this website for future needs.
Amazing invites!!!
Fancy Blossoms Foldover Pockets I could not be happier about how our invitations turned out. They were just sent out this week and we are already receiving compliments on them. They were so easy to put together. They do require extra postage but overall they were great. I have already recommended them to two other brides getting married in the next year. I loved having the RSVP card be a postcard. So convenient. Thank you magnet street for making my invites look so good!!!
Elegant Card
Fancy Blossoms Foldover Pockets Very happy with the product, always had excellent customer service, just sent out the invitations and have just been receiving lots of compliments.

reviews & comments (29)
I just made these tarts for Thanksgiving. The tart shells are amazing and the onions were also incredible. It was the favorite dish tonight! I was a litle nervous about making the pastry as I have not had good luck with pastry in the past but the directions were excellent and it was very easy.
While the crust is very, very good, I've used Pillsbury unroll and bake pie crust with excellent results - especially on the Friday night dinner /cocktails parties. You can carmelize the onions a day or two in advance and put together in a flash. Great feedback from guests.
Definitely a winner at my house. Tried this last Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. I made 2 large free-form tarts, it was amazing, I love the taste of the sage. We enjoyed it again at Christmas and many parties after the holidays. It's definitely on my list for this holiday season. Enjoy!
Absolutely Fantastic. This is the best tart I have ever made. I bought pillsbury dough and placed in a tart pan, baked tart first then added onions and cream. It was easy and too good
Made this dish for a dinner party with girlfriends. Used Pillsbury pie dough that is sold rolled up - found in the freezer section. It was perfect because it was thin and I did not place it in a tart pan. I served it almost like a very thin pizza. It was really decicious. I'm making this for x-mas.
Fabulous. This was good at room temperature so it would be perfect to serve at a party & make up the day before. I made my own pastry dough which was pretty easy.
This has become one of the "house" appetizers for entertaining. I dice a high quality bacon which really adds to the texture of the tarts. Also, a standard cheat is to use Pepperidge Farm tartlet shells. I can get over 30 individual tarts from the base recipe and they are the perfect size for hors d'oeuvres
This is a delicious tart. The onions do take a lot more time to caramelize and develop flavour. I agree with one of the reviewers: 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. I did this ahead of time as suggested in the recipe. I found that prebaking the flaky pastry worked very well and made it easy to assemble the tart. Another 20 to 25 minutes in the oven and voila! It tasted great at room temperature. I made this tart as one of several appetizers in a Slow Food Tasting Dinner in our community. Everyone loved it!

Farsightedness is greater difficulty seeing near objects than distant objects.
Alternative Names
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Farsightedness is the result of the visual image being focused behind the retina rather than directly on it. It may be caused by the eyeball being too small or the focusing power being too weak.
Farsightedness is often present from birth, but children have a very flexible eye lens, which helps make up for the problem. As aging occurs, glasses or contact lenses may be required to correct the vision. If you have family members who are farsighted, you are also more likely to become farsighted.
- Aching eyes
- Blurred vision of close objects
- Crossed eyes (strabismus) in some children
- Eye strain
- Headache while reading
Mild farsightedness may not cause any problems except for a need for reading glasses.
Signs and tests
A general eye examination to diagnosis farsightedness may include the following tests:
- Eye movement testing
- Glaucoma testing
- Refraction test
- Retinal examination
- Slit-lamp examination
- Visual acuity
This list is not all-inclusive.
Farsightedness is easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Surgery is available for correcting farsightedness in adults, and can be used for those who do not wish to wear glasses or contacts.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome is expected to be good.
Farsightedness can be a risk factor for glaucoma and crossed eyes.
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider or ophthalmologist if symptoms of farsightedness develop and you have not had an eye examination recently.
Also, call if vision begins to get worse after you have been diagnosed with farsightedness.
If you have been diagnosed with farsightedness or suspect you may have farsightedness and you suddenly develop severe eye pain, eye redness, or decreased vision you should see your eye doctor immediately.

Invisalign aligns teeth with a series of clear, removable trays made to fit each client's mouth structure. To prepare teeth for the see-through straightening, an experienced dentist conducts an initial Invisalign exam, checking the strength and health of teeth without playing a "Guess Your Tooth Strength and Health" carnival game. The canine consultation includes a set of x-rays and impressions to determine the severity of spacing and alignment issues. Those choosing to proceed with the mouth-formatting service are fitted for the Invisalign removable trays and are given a $1,000 discount off the total cost of the service (usually around $3,500–$6,000).
In the late 1970s, career educators Eileen and Raymond Huntington opened the first Huntington Learning Center in Oradell, New Jersey. Their goal was to take an individualized approach to education, adjusting instructional tactics according to each student's particular set of needs. Their success in helping K–12 students prepare for exams and improve grades and study skills quickly spawned franchises across New York and New Jersey.
Today, the certified Huntington tutoring staff utilizes testing and rubrics for assessing each child's skills, academic needs and potential for growth. The teachers even note the student's behavior in different testing and academic situations to craft a methodology sensitive to each child's learning style. Teachers also adhere to the company's code of ethics that stresses professionalism and confidentiality, encouraging pupils to improve their grades honestly through dedicated study rather than shortcuts.

Hi Steve,
>>For example, we currently include about 220 LADSPA plugins in 64 Studio,
I just meant for the distros. I think Patrick's original suggestion of a
single place to get all the LADSPA plugin sources from makes sense, to
guard against individual sites disappearing.
> I've no idea how you'd break them up.
Maybe RDF could help here - a package of compressors, a package of
oscillators and so on. But you'd still end up with a lot of potentially
confusing options.
Perhaps the thing to do is run a poll to find out the twenty or so most
useful plugins in a particular context. So for example if you're
recording a rock band you're looking for a compressor, a limiter, a
reverb and so on, whereas if you are doing research into synthesis you
probably want a whole different set of plugins.
Anyway, I've put ladspa.linuxaudio.org into DNS for now. Should be
working in half an hour, then Ico can set up a root directory for it.
