Hi, I am trying to identify which K-66 Transaxle the Scotts 2554 came with. I have a Scotts 2048, and am trying to find out what I can do to upgrade my transaxle without buy an expensive kit. I talked with TuffTorq, and they said the bolt patterns are the same, and I should be able to make the conversion fairly easy, but first I need to know which K-66 I would like. There are so many listed on the site that I am not sure where to start. If anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, |

Is this a Deere made Scotts or Murray? If you look up the part number for the transaxle, it may show you on the parts look up or TT / the Googler could cross reference it. My guess is that they both have 1" axles, but I wonder on length as the Deere 54" had wheel flanges rather than the wheel sliding directly on the shaft. May be NBD. |

Scotts 2048 is a JD. The 2048 uses a TT K62, not a bad trans. Changing the oil to 20-50 synthetic should improve the performance. I don't know that I'd spend the money it will cost to go to a K66 cause you might have to buy hubs and wheels and K66 prices are pretty high now days. Among the variations of the K66 are the control methods... foot pedals versus lever on the fender. |

Hi...Yes, it is a JD. Prices are very high for a K66 (JD = $1,700ish and TT = $1,200ish) The goal I am working towards is to be able to use ground engaging equipment. I have 1 acre with slight hills (1% to 3% grades), and initially in the first year I would like to use a box blade for some smoothing. If the remaining life of this tractor is 500 hours, then I think 20 of those hours would be spent using a box blade, and the rest would be just cutting grass. I am not really looking for a full time "grader", just want to do a small bit of smoothing. The problem is that TT leaves the final designation of whether a tractor is good for ground engagement up to the OEM. I am not super versed in tractors, but even with my limited knowledge I confound the people I talk to. If I walk into a JD dealership and start talking "K62 versus K66", their eye sort of glass over, and they start pointing towards a stock part number. If I call Husqvarna, they stutter, and then go to the public website for the same info I already have. I wrote TT, and got a stock "talk to your OEM" response, so I called and tried in person, and the response was better. The person said the K62 and the K66 are very similar, that the main differences were internal, but he didn't really explain those differences. I guess ultimately my goals was to use what I have without blowing it up, and if I had to rebuild, putting something tougher like a K66 in there so the problem did not come up again. I figured for differences like axles, I could always reuse mine. Maybe the solution is to use what I have, and do the $400ish rebuild if a problem arises. |

Jim, Using a box blade for smoothing is really asking a lot of a lawn tractor. A common rule of thumb for contemporary LT-GT tractors is if it has 1" axles and the rear wheels bolt on it is a ground engaging GT. Rather than spend a bunch on a K66 you might consider selling your Scotts and watching for a good deal on a used GT on Craigslist. |
- Posted by jfnewell1965 8 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 18, 14 at 13:19
Hi, Yes, and that is where this becomes kind of blurred. The K62 has 1 inch axles, the tractor has 5 bolt - bolt on wheels, and since the K62 shares the same body as the K66, the question becomes.... What really is the difference between the two? I have to wonder, if I put them side by side, what differences would I see as I opened them up. |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Fri, Jul 18, 14 at 16:20
The fact that JD put a K62 in your 2048 and a K66 in the 2554 tells lots regarding the difference in their capability. Thing is, the K66 gets a lot of wows when they replace a K46 but I've owned a few K66 GTs and their ground engaging ability is FAR below the ground engaging ability of my JD X500 with a K72. Not even close and that's why I bought the X500. On the other hand there are people who have replaced the rear plate on their JD X300 LTs and added a sleeve hitch. I've never seen anyone who did come back later and marvel at how well that worked but there are more than a few people who used their LTs with a K46 like they were GTs and blamed the trans. If you use common sense when operating and are sensitive to what your Scotts is telling you under load and it's your chose to give it a try you'll be the only one to blame if the K62 pukes. You can't expect us to absolve you of your responsibility of making the choice when you have to shoulder (pay $$$) the consequences.. I think that the K62 would definitely work but it would not work indefinitely. My vote is sell the Scotts and put the money you didn't spend fixing the Scotts (if it pukes) toward a cherry used GT. |

Darn it! I was hoping y'all would chip in!!!! :) I agree, there must be a reason for the K62 versus the K66. I have lots to do on this property other than smoothing. I think I will get a small cart to haul behind it, mow with it, and keep an I out for something a little tougher. |

DAS Questions - Number of People/Names
"DAS will usually be issued for up to 6 (5 plus the person with a disability)
- Guest Relations will be able to make exceptions on a case by case basis, but will not be able to issue a DAS for more than 10. - for example, 7 for a family of 2 adults and 5 children; 7 for family of 2 parents, 3 children, Grandma and Grandpa. (This was done for GACs on a case by case, exception basis) - If a DAS is issued for more than 6, all members of the group must be present at the time the DAS is issued - issuing a DAS for more than 6 Aldo requires a supervisor to approve " I have seen a few posts about names being written on the DAS. On our next trip we will be going as a really large group. We won't be asking for more than 6 people on the DAS, but the 7 year has autism and will be there with various siblings and cousins. Sometimes he will want to ride with particular people, and other times we will all split up in different groups. The groups may differ! So, do you have to write down particular people, or can it just be the name of the rider plus 5? How much flexibility will we be able to have when touring and who we can be with during the day? |
The DAS has a name and a photo of the person named. If that person isn't with your group they won't let you through. They do not list the additional people's names.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Origin Linda Dale worked for Gary Preston also known as the Flame. It was her work with Gary that put her in many heroic situations. She met the Flame and later decided to become his sidekick, donning a costume that was very similar to the Flame's. At first Gary was against her becomming the Flame Girl but, slowly the Flame taught Flame Girl the secrets of fire control. Later learning everything she could from the Flame, Flame Girl received her own hand held flame thrower. Character Evolution Fox It was in Fox comics that Linda Dale became Flame Girl.Project Superpowers While fighting in WWII the very mislead Fighting Yank trapped Flame Girl and the Flame along with the other Superpowers members in the Urn of Pandora. After 60 years the American Spirit appeared to the Fighting Yank and told him to free all of the heroes trapped in the Urn. With the help of the Green Lama, the Fighting Yank freed the heroes from the Urn by shattering it. When they were released many were scattered to different countries, and they were able to gather each other. Unfortunately Flame Girl was captured by Captain Future who took all of her power and subsequently killed her. Powers Flame Girl has the exact same powers as the Flame, Prometheus fire control, a hand held flame thrower, and heat generation. She can also teleport through any size of fire and burst into flames making bullets melt before they hit her. Flame Girl also displays a high amount of agility, stealth and stamina that come in very good use in tight situations.

Not a dig, Mike. But your posting history is replete with complaints and then long arguments about.... almost any aspect of any hardware.
So, yes, I meant Mike won't be happy, a prediction, to be sure, but one in which I have a high degree of confidence. Most others will be more than satisfied.
Not a dig? Ok, if you say so...
Yep - I do have a history of complaints about DirecTV HRs. To this day every DirecTV DVR with the possible exception of the HR44 is slower than my 5 maybe 6 year old Dish Network HD DRV. When DirecTV engineering get the speed of their DVRs up to 5 year old Dish Network speed I'll stop complaining. Maybe the HR44 is it... Unless of course you are correct and it is only a tad bit faster then I guess we'll have to wait another 5 years for DirecTV to catch up.

No, but we were looking into combining our flex with PHP during our last project in my classes. We couldn't do it since our project was an air and it would have taken far too long to convert it over.
I think the best search results landed under 'flex php http' and 'flex php stream'. Try those in google.
The biggest problem at finding information was flex was beta 2 at the time and all the search results found people with questions - not answers. All I can tell you for certain is there is an http wrapper for it that always reminds me of how ajax works.

Buick Y-job
What list of the best concept cars ever would be complete without the first? The Buick Y-Job – which sounds a bit sordid if you ask us – was unveiled in 1938, complete with electric windows and headlamps that could hide away. We're talking revolutionary stuff at the time.
Because experimental cars were called 'X', designer Harley J. Earl decided to go one letter along in the alphabet, partly because he could do what he wanted but mainly because the term 'Y' pops up in the most advanced aviation prototypes, technically making it more badass.
Holden Monaro Coupe 60
While most car companies strive for efficiency, Aussie manufacturer Holden (known as Vauxhall in the UK, folks) likes to adopt the American Mantra of big engine, big smiles. Continuing the trend is the Holden Monaro Coupe 60. Built to celebrate sixty years of production, the Monaro Coupe 60 comes equipped with a monstrous V8, brutish looks and the ability to spend all of its time going sideways, thanks to all that rear-wheel drive torque. What's not to like – except the tyre replacement costs?
More after the break...
Peugeot Onyx
Peugeot often makes supercar concepts, but we've never seen the French manufacturer actually make one we could all buy. But our hopes are high the Onyx makes it to the production phases – because it looks so sharp it could cut you in half.
A carbon fibre shell with a split paintjob surrounds a 3.7-litre V8 hybrid. Ignoring how dull the word hybrid sounds, this French missile developers 600bhp and it only weighs 1,100kg. That works out at 2kg of weight for every horse power. Imagine a horse dragging two bags of sugar. As you can imagine, it should leave your mate's Citroen Saxo behind in a cloud of, erm, hybrid smoke.
Aston Martin AMV 10
Aston Martin doesn't have a V10 engine to strap to its much-desired cars, but if it did, we are ever hopeful the AMV 10 would be the first car to showcase it. Because, let's face it, it's clearly a work of art. Whereas most offerings from the prestigious brand have indicate sophistication and power, the AMV 10 looks positively terrifying – like it would laugh as it wrapped you around a tree at 180mph.
Aston Martin's One-77, so-called that because it's only making 77 of the $1million car, may offer the same rear lights and a roaring V12, but it looks much less tame. Not that we would turn one down.

Productivity software
Productivity software (or office productivity software[1]) is application software dedicated to producing information, such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video.[2]
Productivity software traditionally run directly on a computer. For example Commodore Plus/4 model of computer contained in ROM four applications of productivity software. Productivity software is one of the reasons people use personal computers. Productivity software help the professional or common user to enhance and complete their tasks. There is no computer or operating system that lacks of some sort of productivity software of any kind.[citation needed]
Office suite[edit]
An office suite is a collection of bundled productivity software intended to be used by knowledge workers. The components are generally distributed together, have a consistent user interface and usually can interact with each other, sometimes in ways that the operating system would not normally allow.[3]
Typical office suite components[edit]
Existing office suites contain wide range of various components. Most typically, the base components include:
Less common components of office suites include:
- Database software
- Graphics suites (raster graphics editors, vector graphics editors, image viewers)
- Desktop publishing software
- Formula editors
- Diagramming software
- Email clients
- Communication software
- Personal information managers
- Notetaking software
- Groupware
- Project management software
- Web log analysis software

Things are beyond ridiculous in this country. Even if someone believes in god and believes god hates gays--or he's at the very least opposed to gay marriage--why don't they just go live their own lives and praise jesus as they will and let god deal with the gays in his own way? Better yet, why not actually do something positive with that god loving energy, like feed the hungry and clothe the poor? Why are gays so high on the list of things god want's them to deal with? It's hypocritical to think gays marrying will ruin the sanctity of their heterosexual marriage. They're perfectly capable of doing that all on their own. Check out the divorce rates in this country some time. It's about 50%. And yet, they're free to divorce and marry again and again, as many times as they like. All because they're marrying the opposite sex. I wish they'd look around and realize, its not gays marrying that will ruin this country--it's already ruined and this is just a diversion tactic to get them to focus on what *isn't* the problem. Republicans want less government involvement in *their* lives, but more government involvement in the lives of everyone else. And all of it based on the perceived will of god. And guess what, god will never say they're wrong to discriminate against gays, because god never says anything. So if they're waiting on god to tell them to stop being bigots, they'll go to their graves bigots. Bigots in the name of god. If he was real, he wouldn't be impressed.
They do not want to change their bully language.
OH MY SCIENCE Pat! I CANNOT Believe the things you do with the planting things, and the clothes wearing...SCANDALOUS!!! ;) I don't plant things, but I DO wear different materials together and , gasp!, I have been known to do a little work on the weekends!!!!!!
Good comments guys, I thank you!
booklover, you're absolutely right. I realized I was condemned to eternal damnation when I practiced companion planting in my garden, per the instructions of that godless, heathen, blasphemous, and devil inspired book, Rodale's Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening. Having violated the eternal and unchanging word of god by ignoring the proscription in Leviticus 19:19, and planting pole beans with my sweet corn, it was only a foreseeable matter of time before I became a barbaric libertine who would accept the idea that another human being, whose sexual orientation is different from mine, should nevertheless have the same rights, privileges, and responsibilities as I do. Next thing you know, I'll have reached the depths of degradation by wearing a cotten/polyester blend shirt to work. Ohhhhhh, the humanity!!!!!
"Better yet, why not actually do something positive with that god loving energy, like feed the hungry and clothe the poor?" - It's much easier to demonize and condemn people than it is to help people. And fun. And it provides a source for scapegoats, piling blame on someone else. Christianity should be renamed "Hypocrisy".
I also love how "they" choose that one thing out of their book to focus on. What about not working on the sabbath? What about not wearing 2 different kinds of cloth at the same time? What about all the other ridiculous crap? Pick and choose I guess. Some "good book". Ugh.
@ JS. Rogers Thanks for those statistics! :)

No word on Vick as two more plead guilty
Associated Press
Two of Michael Vick's alleged cohorts in a dogfighting enterprise entered guilty pleas Friday, leaving the Atlanta Falcons quarterback on his own to cut a deal or face trial on federal charges.
With his NFL career in jeopardy and a superseding indictment adding more charges in the works, Vick and his lawyers have been talking with federal prosecutors about a possible plea agreement. It was widely reported that Vick faced a 9 a.m. ET deadline to accept a deal.
But there was no indication Friday at U.S. District Court that Vick would enter a plea before the new charges are filed, perhaps as early as next week.
Sentencing for the two was scheduled for Nov. 30. Vick has been barred from training camp by the NFL and is scheduled to stand trial Nov. 26.
Purnell Peace, 35, of Virginia Beach and Quanis Phillips, 28, of Atlanta entered plea agreements and joined another defendant who previously changed his plea to guilty and agreed to cooperate in the government's case against Vick.
Peace and Phillips were charged with conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. Tony Taylor of Hampton pleaded guilty last month and will be sentenced Dec. 14.
The offenses are punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines likely would call for less.
"Did you conspire with these folks to sponsor a dogfighting venture?" U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson asked Peace.
He replied, "Yes, sir."
While Peace was freed, Phillips violated the terms of his release by failing a drug test and was taken into custody of U.S. marshals.
Any outcome that ties Vick to betting on the dogfights could trigger a lifetime ban from the NFL under the league's personal conduct policy.
The 27-year-old quarterback was linked to betting by a statement signed by Taylor, who pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government, and the July 17 indictment.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell withheld further action while the NFL conducts its own investigation. Goodell said Thursday the league hasn't been monitoring Vick's plea negotiations.
The four defendants all initially pleaded not guilty, and Vick issued a statement saying he looked forward to clearing his name.
A statement of facts signed by Taylor as part of his plea agreement placed Vick at the scene of several dogfights and linked him to betting. Taylor said Vick financed virtually all the "Bad Newz Kennels" operation on Vick's property in Surry County.
The case began with a search in April that turned up dozens of pit bulls and an assortment of dogfighting paraphernalia at the property a few miles northwest of Vick's hometown of Newport News. According to the indictment, dogs that lost fights or fared poorly in test fights were sometimes executed by hanging, electrocution or other means.
At Friday's plea hearings, about 30 animal rights activists gathered outside the courtroom in downtown Richmond.

Bill Moyers: Serving "News" like the Butler Serves Tea on Downton Abbey
Do Not: Do Not Disturb the Master Class
All of us can stand a bit of disruption from time to time.
David Uberti wrote recently in the Columbia Journalism Review about PBS pulling ads from Harper's Magazine as retribution for an article critical of PBS. PBS exists as a non-commercial, educational media channel. But the critical Harper's article by Eugenia Williamson pointed out
And so, a fit of ad-pulling ensued. But it was this candid, PBS-critical quote from the patron saint of public broadcasting that caught my ear:
Wherever you land in your organization, there is some grand narrative at work that guides all involved. That grand narrative is often a good thing and useful. It is often laden with meaning that helps us do our jobs. But it is not a perfect narrative—never is—and parts call out to be challenged by practitioners.
After all, it is the disruptive conversations that lodge in our brain pans. Those conversations we cannot forget sometimes actually open our clam shell brains to something new. And that is the way of both innovation and truth-telling.
Many of us—especially the people-pleasers among us—are careful to assemble conversations that do not disturb the people around us. I am guilty of this. But truth-telling must necessarily veer from the party line.
If only because sometimes the party line veers from truth.

How to Make Your Message Permanent
A tip from a prehistoric consultant
First: Forget about it. Nothing is permanent—at least not in the way advertising mavens augur.
Second: OK—if you insist—make your message about someone else. Make your message give back more than it takes in. "GE" branded on a rock would never last. Even the Apple logo will be chiseled away by Microsoft rebels. But a man with jointed wings, well, who can resist that story?
Prehistoric peoples stopped by these ancient rocks to tell their version of the human condition. So they carved/picked/incised/abraded their messages into the exposed Sioux quartzite outside Comfrey, Minnesota long before there was a Comfrey or a Minnesota or a U.S. of A. Maybe before the pyramids and Stonehenge. Ancients left messages here to direct and entertain passers-by.
Why make your message permanent? We understand marketing communications for companies—it's about keeping the wheels of commerce turning. But you personally—what messages do you have to communicate? And why would you make them permanent? I argue that your take on the human condition comes out in the way you do your work, the way you interact with family, friends, colleagues, and even the way you see/refuse to see the homeless guy at the end of the exit ramp. And all these daily interactions amount to a carving and incising that is far more permanent than any of us imagine.
Our conversations have an enormous (cumulative) effect on the people around us. An effect that may move through generations.
What exactly is your message, anyway?

Do Not Click on this Pornographic Website
You may not recover. You have been warned.
"Porn" is a term we reserve for the depiction of erotic behavior designed to cause sexual excitement.
Everyone knows this.
But does the depiction of erotic behavior ever extend beyond sexual? I say "Yes" and note that it routinely presents as normal life. Lots of advertising aims for this lustful, must-own tone. Bathtubs, kitchens, lake homes. Cars. Bicycles. Camera lenses. Ice cream sandwiches. Apple is the pre-eminent, undisputed master of desire-manipulation designed to cause ownership lust, as witnessed in yesterday's watch announcement. It's a winning persuasion technique that bypasses reason as it reduces the unaware to a quivering mass of…longing.
Really anything can be pornographic—even book ownership. More and more I see piles of books in Tumblrs along with a statement about how reading changes you. Which is true. But so does conversation. So does work. So does life. And so does experience. It's curious because books seem to be moving to the level of a totem, where we hold them up as having a kind of magic power for wisdom. And all this as more and more of us read less and less. When I teach writing classes, I routinely say that even a paragraph is too much copy (too many words) for many of us.
I'm all for books. And I'm especially fond of reading them. But I'd like to see ads for owning the contents of books. I'd like to see ads that move people toward the deep reading Mortimer Adler defended in How to read a book. Ads that make it sexy to know something and to engage in a conversation about it.
But there's no money to be made in that.
Maybe book lust is one of the OK-lusts. But I would hope we could grow up to the kind of deep knowing that brings book contents into our daily conversations.

King Corn
How talk of an acre became talk of an industry
Here's a story seemingly about not knowin' nothin': two friends from Boston decided to figure out why we grew so much corn in the U.S. So, naturally, they went to Iowa and hired an acre of land to grow their own corn.
As anyone would, given a compelling question.
In King Corn, friends Ian Cheney and Curtis Ellis found their grandfathers both came from the small town of Greene, Iowa. In this documentary (a form we know as dedicated to a version of a story rather than seeking objectivity), the two friends plant, fertilize, weed, and then harvest their acre of corn. All with the help of local farmers. But this is not the gotcha-style documentary that Michael Moore practiced. These friends seem genuinely interested in all aspects, ask the dumb questions that any of us (non-farmers) might ask, and make connections with the farmers, families and communities along the way. They let their questions propel them and others join in, though we have a strong hunch where the questions are going.
As they tell their story, they identify Earl Butz, secretary of agriculture under Nixon and Ford. They note how Butz initiated a government policy shift that turned small farmers into big producers (especially of corn) rather than keeping them as small producers (that is, paying them to not produce to keep prices high). The friends also talk with Michael Pollan and a number of other fancy academic big-shots with opinions and research on food and agriculture. What they found turned the conversation.
- Massive feed lots that have dialed up cattle production by letting them stand and eat corn nearly constantly. So: faster to market. The cattle continue to eat toward an upper physiologic limit and must ingest a constant stream of antibiotics to continue eating. That would be our beef industry.
- A high fructose corn syrup industry spawned from the great quantities of corn produced. High fructose corn syrup seems incredibly malleable and shows up in a high percentage of the produced foods we buy. And high fructose corn syrup, as we are learning, is just more sugary, empty calories that help contribute to our nations struggle with obesity.
What's odd is that raising corn, on its own, is a money-losing endeavor. But with the subsidies our government kicks in, it becomes profitable for farmers to set aside enormous sections of land to grow it. And the resulting industries and practices have a problematic relationship with our culture and health.
King Corn ends up as an uncomfortable look into an industry we all partake in. And like all documentaries, there is a clear point of view, which was fun to watch. I'm certain the beef and high fructose corn syrup industries have excellent and solid rebuttals for the conclusions any viewer might form from the film.
We're all happy with cheap food, but the film helps us ask about the long-term cost of our cheap food.
What I appreciated about the tone of the film was just two guys just asking questions (yes, I bought into that portrayal of the friends). And rather than Michael Moore-style bombast, the filmmakers presented a couple sides to the story (though certainly not all sides) through conversation. The result helps me begin to rethink the low-priced, easily available food that surrounds us and for which I am grateful.
"Good to Know" and a Failure to Communicate (DGtC#23)
I've said too much already.
If you hear this, you've said too much. You've said more than someone wanted to hear. "Good to know" is a polite way for your listener to indicate, "Please. Shut it."
Why do we say too much?
Maybe we are excited about a topic. People will often have mercy with this motive. Sometimes the excitement rubs off. Our favorite professors and speakers demonstrated their enthusiasm for a topic by going on. And on.
Maybe it is a nervous tic that flows from fear of awkward silence.
Maybe we are hiding our tracks, like the alcoholic filling up verbal space to avoid the obvious question. Maybe our rush of words is like throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks, to throw our interrogators off our track.
Maybe we're signaling dominance. Stringing together buzzwords at a rapid pace is a time-honored tactic in corporate meetings where you have no clue how to respond. The tactic usually ends in promotion because higher-ups read "kindred spirit" in your fast mumbling. Maybe our club or church or group listens for key words to show who is in and who is out, so our rush of words is a frantic attempt to show we are in.
"Good to know" is a proper, dismissive response to much of the advertising done to us: superfluous, out of step with regular life and an obvious pitch for our pocketbook.
But when we hear "Good to know," it may be worth stepping back and getting momentarily meta, and thinking, "Oops. I might have misjudged this person's interest. How can I get back to connection?"
Connection is the place to be. Connection gets along well with enthusiasm and does not mind probing into track-hiding. But connection does not abide dominance.

Why I Don't Listen To Christian Music
Short Answer: No One Likes Being Manipulated
On Conversation is an Engine I mostly write about communication and conversation and copywriting and how business interacts because I am fascinated by what happens when people talk. But undergirding this sense of wonder is a faith in God that makes me see much of life in theological hues. The fallout from that theological saturation means I want to approach the work of communication and persuasion from an ethical perspective—as best I can.
Lots of music labeled "Christian" does not do that.
The college I occasionally teach at has a radio station that spins out Christian music. I stopped listening years ago when I realized my emotions were being manipulated by music that was nearly content-free. It had a veneer of faith, but seemed much more about living a good life and having positive feelings.
Especially positive feelings.
I'm not against positive feelings. Happy is good in my book. Happy makes sense to me. But if happy comes from a sugar-like high that dissipates as quickly as it formed, was it real? And is happy the point of faith in God?
I argue: No.
Happy is good. Joy is better and depending on how you define things, joy lasts longer. And true is best.
And really, what is Christian music? I might argue Tom Waits has a lot more truth to offer than whatever contemporary Christian band is currently famous. The Talking Heads seemed to provide many glimpses of truth—so do many of the folk musicians I listen to. Certainly Mr. Bach and Mr. Mozart and Mr. Telemann and Mr. John Adams and even Philip Glass provide more soaring and more depth and more truth.
Of course, music is a very personal thing and there is no right or wrong. We like what we like and I don't want to disparage anyone's choices—really I don't. But if I sense I'm being manipulated by sentimental lyrics, I move on.

Anyone out there with a clue as to what this Engravers Roman-ish slab serif face is?
Western Railway is close candidate, but no cigar: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/jnlevine/western-railway/

Note the generally triangular serifs. This resembles a 19th century style then called Latin. Not certain if there is an exact digital match, but if there is one, our typophiles will probably find it for you. This is pretty close, a font from the Connor's Sons catalog of 1888 digitized as Ysleta by Nick Curtis. In this font the Latinate serifs are clipped in an angled style called Detroit or Mansard -- a refinement that may or may not be present in your samples. This version of the Latinate style was also known as Aetna or Painter's Gothic.
Here is a true Latin with triangular serifs and no fancy tips: Great Western by Font Mesa. Not quite as close as Western Railway, but better designed and executed.
Thanks Don. These guys use it willy nilly so often and the funny little detailed roughness of the E is identical in both cases so much so that it makes me feel strongly this is a digital typeface somewhere. I've asked them but they are a small market and they don't know. They can't even point me to the people who did the work for them originally.
You're welcome & good luck with your project.

We need to subject the resurrection stories of the New Testament to the same critical analysis as we did the crucifixion. So let us examine Paul's writings and the gospels in an attempt to discover what the event we call Easter really was.
read moreOne of the most reliable facts concerning Jesus is that he was crucified during the reign and by the action of the Roman procurator, Pontius Pilate, who served by appointment of the Caesar from 26-36 CE. The Roman senator and historian Tacitus referred to Jesus' execution by Pilate in his Annals, which was written circa 116 CE. Beyond that, however, there is not much historical evidence.
read moreWe all belong. We are each one a part of the Temple of God. Paul wants the church at Corinth to recognize that they all belong to one another, and that it is foolish to divide and polarize around certain leaders. Paul argues that there is no place in the church for petty jealousies and pride.
read moreCelebrate our life together, giving birth in many ways;
Father-Mother Love is with us, leading to a better day.
Equal partners 'round the table, family groups of every kind
show us how to nurture kindness, new creation's joy to find.
read moreThe church sign can be easily read by anyone driving by: "You can't be a devoted follower of Jesus unless you are part of a local church." Does the church that posts this sign not trust the people with Jesus's message? What is the meaning of "incarnation" if not "embodiment" by individual persons of the spirit of the Christ? Is the "Body of Christ" for members only?
The Apostle Paul created the metaphor of the "Body of Christ" as the community of followers. In 1 Corinthians 10:16-17, he explains the meaning of the ritually-shared meal: "The cup of God's gracious benefits that we consecrate means that we are involved in the blood of the Anointed, doesn't it? The bread that we break means that we are involved in the body of the Anointed, doesn't it? That there is one loaf means that we who are many constitute one body, because we all partake of the one loaf." In Romans 12:5 he says, "Just as each of us has one body with many parts that do not all have the same function, so although there are many of us, we are the Anointed's body, interrelated with one another."
read moreIn contemporary speech the word spiritual is more associated with personal or private experience, while the word religious is usually connected to communal, institutional, and organizational religious life. Those who identify themselves as spiritual but not religious reject traditional organized religion as the sole or the most valuable means of advancing one's spiritual growth.
read moreJudas Iscariot, the anti-hero of the story of the crucifixion, has been heaped with scorn and ridicule over the centuries. "Judas" is not used as a child's name because it became the synonym for betrayal, for being a back-stabber. In Christian art, he is portrayed in dark, sinister tones. Events in western Christian history from the Inquisition in the fourteenth century to the expulsion of the Jews from almost every country of Europe at one time or another, to Martin Luther's call for the burning of synagogues, to the violence and killing frenzy of the Holocaust in the twentieth century are all rooted substantially in Judas and because he was a Jew, applied to all Jews. Even his name is identical with the name by which the entire Jewish nation was known… Judas is simply a Greek spelling of Judah.
read moreWhen Paul talks about the wisdom of the world he is not talking about Greek philosophical wisdom. The wisdom of the world that Paul has particularly in mind is the wisdom that crucified Jesus. The wisdom of the world Paul is referring to is the kind of wisdom expressed in domination systems. In our context it would be powerful governments and corporations who wield enormous power and wealth to shape society in view of their own self-interests.
read moreIn Matthew's midrash of Isaiah's prophecy, Jesus tours all over Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, curing all kinds of diseases, and proclaiming that God's kingdom has come. The verses in Chapter 4 selected by the creators of the Revised Common Lectionary for the third Sunday after the Epiphany are the preface to Matthew 5:1 through 7:29, the great Sermon on the Mount. Jesus walks by the Sea of Galilee, and invites his disciples to leave their nets and become "fishers for people," traditionally interpreted to mean saving souls from hell. But John Dominic Crossan, points out that Jesus could have brought his message anywhere in Roman occupied Judea. Why Galilee? Why Capernaum?
read moreThe earliest version of the New Testament, now in English for the first time!
History preserves the name of the person responsible for the first New Testament, the circumstances surrounding his work, and even the date he decided to build a textual foundation for his fledgling Christian community. So why do so few people know about him? Jason BeDuhn introduces Marcion, reconstructs his text, and explores his impact on the study of Luke-Acts, the two-source theory, and the Q hypothesis.
read moreThe sermon is based on a performance of the lectionary reading from Galatians and other central texts that tell the story of Paul in his own words: Galatians 1:1-17; 2Corinthians 12:1-12; and 1Cornthians 15:1-11 with short quotes from other letters as well. As this Early Christian practice was supposed to be unscripted and is mostly based on Paul's own words, there is no written version of the sermon on the website. You are invited to watch the video recording of the performance.

Fire at historic Skykomish tavern labeled arson
An arson sign has been posted at the remains of the historic Whistling Post tavern in Skykomish, offering a reward for information about the Tuesday morning fire.
The Associated Press
An arson sign has been posted at the remains of the historic Whistling Post tavern in Skykomish, offering a reward for information about the Tuesday morning fire.
KIRO-TV reports ( http://is.gd/k5tnL1) a King County investigator believes the fire was set near a cash machine to cover the theft of $3,300.
A firefighter who suffered a hand burn and smoke inhalation at the blaze is reported in satisfactory condition at a Seattle hospital.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Firefighters responding to flames at the historic Whistling Post tavern early Tuesday were immediately suspicious when they found the door open.
The unlocked door and a report of a suspicious car leaving the scene led investigators to suspect the fire was set to cover up a burglary, Skykomish Fire Capt. Mike Janasz said.
Flames spread quickly through the wood frame building that was built in 1903. Firefighters could only pour on water from the outside as they watched the roof and second floor collapse.
One firefighter who suffered a hand burn and smoke inhalation was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Janasz said.
All that remains is part of the frontier-style facade that says "established in 1903."
Heavy equipment will have to move debris for investigators to look for the cause, Janasz said. The tavern doors had been locked the night before.
News that the fire may have been started by a burglar incensed owner Charlie Brown, who said historic photos and artifacts were lost.
"It's an idiotic thing to do," he told KOMO. "I mean, take the money and run. We can replace that, but we can't replace some of the history in this building."
The tavern was a community center for the town and a stopping place for food for Stevens Pass skiers, about 40 miles east of Everett on Highway 2. A residence is attached to back of the tavern, but no one was inside when the fire started, KING reported.
Several fire agencies worked to prevent flames from spreading to an adjacent hotel and other buildings.
The Whistling Post Tavern was one of 11 landmark buildings along the four-block long Skykomish Historic Commercial District, dating back to the late 1800s. Railroad workers would hang out in the saloon, which was originally named The Olympian. It was renamed the Whistling Post Tavern after a fire destroyed most of the district in 1904.
"It's a pretty heavy hit," Skykomish resident John Ritchie told KING. "There's only a few businesses in Skykomish and this is one of those that everybody gravitated to. The owners are real nice people. It was just a great, fun place to be."
The owners said they will likely rebuild the tavern, but the lost railroad memorabilia and historic photos are irreplaceable.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR
- Description: The Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (NA-22) has a research objective to develop remote sensing technology to support detection and characterization of signatures or activities related nuclear proliferation.
- b: Development and Validation of a Polarized 3D Atmospheric Radiation Model
- Description: Increasing signature contrast in both the solar and thermal spectral regions, obtained from the Stokes vector data, provides advanced avenues for improving material identification. Analysis of these data requires polarization signature models that incorporate the effects of absorption, emission and scattering in the 3D atmospheric and terrain environment. Although high fidelity, scalar, 1D atmospheric radiative transfer models are readily available [Berk et al. 2006], few 1D polarization models [MODTRAN-P, vector-6S] have been developed. These 1D polarized models have significant limitations in spectral coverage, computational speed, optical polarization databases, and-or physics fidelity. There are currently no available models that treat all the polarized spectral signatures of key 3D scene elements such as clouds, plumes, topographic backgrounds, and man-made objects in a self-consistent, unified approach. Research is sought to develop a validated 3D polarized atmospheric radiation transport model. The Phase I effort should focus (1) on assessing current 1D capabilities and available polarization databases, (2) on formulating approaches for upgrades to the 1D models for a fully polarized implementation in Phase II, (3) on designing a 3D polarization model, and (4) on planning validation field measurements in collaboration with a DOE lab. A validated 3D polarized radiance model that incorporates the effects of water clouds, plumes, natural terrain and turbid water backgrounds, and both man-made and natural materials will be developed in Phase II. The new model will be tested against the existing 1D models and validated against DOE field measurements.
- c: Information-Theoretic Compressive Sensing for Efficient Standoff Monitoring
- Description: Modern remote sensing systems are characterized by collection of a massive quantity of data, particularly for long-term monitoring. For example, hyperspectral sensors involve measurement of possibly hundreds of wavelengths. In addition, one may be interested in measuring hyperspectral video, potentially at multiple focal points. Research is sought for a new framework that will be constituted for compressive measurements, in which the complexity (bandwidth and energy) is taken into account within the sensor. Application areas include compressive hyperspectral imagers, compressive video, compressive multi-focus, and compressive mass spectrometry, among many others. The emphasis is not just on systems that may be characterized by Gaussian noise, but also by sensors and data types better characterized with Poisson noise (count measurements). In addition to developing the theory for such compressive measurements, laboratory experiments will be performed, for demonstration of proof of concept. In Phase II, the final system will be applicable to remote sensing, will substantially reduce the quantity of data collected relative to a conventional sensor, and the sensor complexity will be no greater than that of conventional sensing systems.
- d: Other
- Description: In addition to the specific subtopics listed above, the Department invites grant applications in other areas relevant to this Topic.

Khloe Kardashian Can't Ditch Her Baby Blanket
There's a few things that Khloe Kardashian simply cannot travel without, and one of them will surprise you: Her beloved baby blanket tags along everywhere the jetsetting 26-year-old goes.
Khloe posted her five travel necessities on her website this morning, and while most of them are good, everyday travel accessories (iPad, socks, etc), the baby blanket admission is equally surprising and adorable. Says Khloe of her top travel must-have:
My KiKi (she is my childhood blanket that my dad's mom "Nana" made it for me, you might have seen her in KK Miami). Hahaha I am obsessed with this blanket! 26 years baby and still going strong! We ride or die.
She was even kind enough to post pictures of said KiKi. What else is always in Khloe's carry-on? Find out here!

ROSEAU, Dominica – Australia won the toss and chose to bat against West Indies on the opening day of the third and final Digicel Test on Monday at Windsor Park.
For the Windies, Ravi Rampaul comes in to play his first match of the series, replacing fellow fast bowler Fidel Edwards, whose stiff back has put him on the sidelines.
ROSEAU, Dominica, April 22, CMC – West Indies captain Darren Sammy has expressed optimism of a win which would level the Digicel series against Australia in the third and final Digicel Test starting here on Monday.
Cave Hill, Barbados -- The West Indies women's cricketers have been putting in the work at a camp at the Sagicor High Performance Centre with the target of bettering Sri Lanka in the upcoming eight-match series.
Coach Sherwin Campbell expressed great satisfaction with the camp where the emphasis has been on the batting in view of dealing with the expected slow bowling from the Asian team.
Roseau, Dominica — Shane Shillingford is set to create history on Monday when he becomes the first Dominican to play a Test match on home soil. The tall off-spinner bowled well against the Australians on his comeback to international cricket in Trinidad last week and is expected to retain his place in the team for the all-important third and final Digicel Test at his home ground.
Roseau, Dominica — It has been a long journey from the playing field at the Rose Hall Cricket Club to the West Indies team, but Assad Fudadin has made that journey and now he is looking to take more strides forward.
The confident left-hander had his first day among his new team-mates in the West Indies camp on Saturday, as the Windies prepared for the all-important third Digicel Test against Australia at Windsor Park. First ball on Monday is 10 am (9 am Jamaica Time).

The Antlers Burst Apart
(Frenchkiss) Buy it from InsoundHow do you make a follow-up album to your undisputed career highlight? The Antlers'2009 album Hospice was a record of dizzying highs and soul crushing lows, all artfully balanced in a sound that perfectly mixed reverb laced ambient soundscapes with anthemic indie rock. It would have been near impossible to repeat. Luckily, they haven't even tried. Instead, they've adopted a more comfortable sound, settling more on the rock side of their first album.
Instead of pondering grief and loss, frontman Peter Silberman spends the record singing about the complex emotions that accompany various relationships. Excellent opener I Don't Want Love sees a no strings attached couple struggling to stay that way, and closer Putting The Dog To Sleep is about a one sided breakup. It's all accompanied by his expectedly excellent songwriting.
They sound more comfortable on this album, which is more of a curse than a blessing. Whereas Hospice was a highly varied album that still managed to keep a cohesive aesthetic, Burst Apart settles into its hazy indie rock quite quickly and never leaves. Hospice never got boring, but its follow-up most certainly has its dull moments. Burst Apart also fails match the emotional depth of its predecessor. There are no tracks that stand out as bad, but there aren't many exceptional ones either. I Don't Want Love, Putting the Dog to Sleep, and Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out are the finest moments, all smartly spaced evenly throughout the record.
Don't get me wrong, there are good songs beyond what I listed as highlights, but nothing that'll really stick with you. Don't call it a mid-career slump; it's more of a lull. Silberman's lyrics are still excellent. It's the music and lack of emotional range that's missing here. Burst Apart is a passable follow-up to an incredible record, but that's all it is. Passable.

It worked on the second try.
I agree that Silberman is an excellent songwriter, and I love his voice. As strong as the writing is, it lacks the perfect cohesion and heartbreaking weight of Hospice. That was an album that grabbed me and never let go, Burst Apart fails to repeat that.
Despite my middling feelings on Burst Apart, it has not diminished my faith in this excellent band. It proves they are incredibly capable of making good music, they just need to recapture the cohesion and magnetic pull of Hospice.

Burst Apart
Andrew, I agree with your review, in fact I think it's probably on the generous side.
'Hospice' was an excellent record, one of my all-time favourites. But 'Burst Apart' is a shocker. It's band, it's lazy - it actually makes me angry that a band this good could make something this terrible.
Sure there are some moments - brief as they maybe - that almost get under your skin. But it all sounds so terribly comfortable.
I love The Antlers. Very much. But this time around they've made a nothing kind of album, and there's nothing worse than that. It's like the no longer trying.

A recent article on the blog of a local newspaper in Walworth County, Wisconsin gave one man's perspective on back pain and how inversion has helped him. Some of our favorite snippets were:
"Better than honor and glory…"
"Better than honor and glory, and History's iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men."
~ Richard Watson Gilder

Autumn Leaves = Weekend Warrior Back Pain
Early Fall is a beautiful time of the year. The color of the trees… the crisp autumn air… pumpkin-spiced EVERYTHING. Out of all of it, my favorite part of Fall is the autumn leaves. That is, until they fall to the ground. When doing this wet, cold yard work, be sure to pay close attention to your posture and lift properly to avoid injury from all that lifting, twisting and loading of your back.
Back Pain Relief In Under 6 Minutes
Seeing is believing. Seeing the immediate benefits of using a Teeter can now been seen thanks to some new medical technology that measures surface EMG. A case study utilizing surface EMG scans demonstrated a marked decrease in muscle tension after using a Teeter, supporting a older study that cited similar dramatic results.

Worlds Highest Marathon
Marathon runners are pretty cool. I've always been impressed by the self-control and dedication it takes to train for a marathon. Then you have the will-power and endurance required to finish the marathon itself. If you have ever ran a marathon yourself – be proud of your accomplishment and know you have my admiration!

Does any one here make essential oils from their herbs? I'd really like to get into this but the distillers are sooo expensive.
Any one have make your own plans and any directions for me? |

Only plants can make essential oils. These oils are the 'essence' of the plant, hence the name. The best we humans can do is to extract those oils, and to do this, we need vast amounts of plant material, and horribly expensive crushing and distilling equipment to do it with. I've only tried it with lavender, just for a giggle. Cram as much lavender into a saucepan as you can, and cover with water. Cover the pan, and simmer gently. After a while, when you lift the lid, you'll see some blobs of oil floating on top of the water. Syphon them off with an eye-dropper and bottle. That is the essential oil, but it will unavoidably be contaminated with a little water, so it won't store as long as the commercial essential oils. If you get a teaspoonful, you'll be doing nicely. The oil will evaporate quite quickly with the heat of the water. For the amount you get and the power to 'cook' it, you might as well pay for the commercial stuff. But to satisfy your curiosity, try my way, with different herbs of choice. It does make the house smell nice while you're mucking around with it! |

Thanks! I was thinking I'd start with lavender also. I need to dead head them. I was reading up on this and found that espresso makers are just little distillers. But you have to use the kind that steam, and not water, pass through the filter. I also found a steam distiller on freecycle. I'm going to try a bunch of different ways, just for fun. |

3.1 Phillip Lim Pre-Fall 2012

3.1 Phillip Lim Pre-Fall 2012
>> For Pre-Fall 2012, Phillip Lim drew on his lifelong fascination with neo-noir comics like Sin City, Superman, and V for Vendetta. While the inspiration was taken literally in the graphic KA-POW-emblazoned sweaters and clutches, it also moved in more subtle directions: "Everyone wants garments to be superheroes," Lim explained. "This 'fill in the blank' should save your day, your week, your year." Thus, the collection is full of "clothes that adapt to the lifestyle of the modern woman," in the designer's words, including reversible puffer jackets and blazers and skirts with zippers that adjust their proportions.
