Not what I expected
Reviewed By Gerard B (OXON HILL, MD) Reviewed for a 2013 Nissan Xterra —1/21/2015 4:15 PM
This is no reflection on the quality of the product. The muffler on my Xterra is directly under the rear passenger floor and not in the back. So the noise inside the truck is loud and tinny. Not what I expected. I'll be changing back to stock in about a year.

The same criteria apply if the manager is coming from outside your company. If you go outside in your search, get sales numbers from candidates, and, if possible, speak to some of the people they managed. Also talk to each prospective manager's former employer and customers. And, as with any position you're trying to fill, find out the reason for the job switch.
Finally, don't rule out your top salesperson. If that individual has enough of these qualities, he or she can succeed. In fact, says Fox, there are many successful sales managers who were their company's top seller. However, he says, there is some truth to the old sales saying, "If you want to lose your best salesperson and gain a lousy manager in the process, make him or her your sales manager."

Image Scarfing
I often use images from other websites here. I usually take the image, resize it, and then host it myself. If I am linking to a website, though, I will sometimes use a reference to their image. It is bad form to use an image hosted somewhere else and then not give the website the traffic in return.
Somebody has stolen to my Space Age Pop blog entry, including the image at left. They stole the whole entry and the link to the image on cthreepo.com. It costs me bandwidth and I get nothing in return.
I got back at them by plastering my URL on the image.
The guy who did this is now giving me free advertising.
I'm still not happy about the plagiarism of my blog entry.
3 Responses to "Image Scarfing"
the link goes to an empty page for me, does it work for you? I think it's bad taste not to mention you, but it's kind of flattering when copied don't you think? lol…how you been?
I agree completely with you. Stuff from The Genre Mall and Sam's Dot get sampled all the time. Most of the time it's just an author trying to promote their own work, but there's no reason they can't just host the graphic on their own site.
I often will change the name of the graphic, but that just makes for a lot of work for me recoding pages, but sometimes it's worth it.
There is a way, using .htaccess to prevent "hot linking" to images. I don't want to go that far. Mostly this guy upset me because he lifted the whole blog entry and then posted as a guest blogger at 20 different sites. I was tempted to replace the graphic with a goatse, but that would have been overkill.
If one of my websites is mentioned with a link I would have sent a thank you message. Links are extremely valuable in the fight for search engine placement.
I try to link to every site that I quote or refer to.

BIA/Kelsey Revises Radio Industry Revenue Estimate for 2010
Chantilly, VA - Nov 30, 2010 - On the heels of strong political battles nationwide, increased automotive advertising and an improving economy, the radio industry has experienced a better year than expected and will end 2010 with over-the-air revenues of $14 billion, a 5 percent increase over 2009, according to BIA/Kelsey. In the fourth edition of BIA/Kelsey's quarterly Investing In Radio Market Report, the company also cites more than 13 markets that will have 9 percent or greater revenue increases this year, including five top markets: Boston, Philadelphia, Denver, Miami and Tampa.
"The radio industry has proven it remains an important component of the advertising mix by reaching local audiences in all demographic ranges," said Mark Fratrik, Ph.D., vice president, BIA/Kelsey. "We might be a long way from pre-recession over-the-air revenue numbers, but broadcasters are supplementing those revenues by taking steps to change the landscape by attracting advertisers through online and mobile and also by extending their signals to attract new listeners."
The following chart represents BIA/Kelsey's updated five-year forecast for radio.

Read this today and it really made me wonder who`s side the conservatives are on.
The veto promise comes as the House is set this week to consider the first of 12 spending bills for the budget year beginning Oct. 1. The first measure totals $73 billion and awards a 3.5 percent increase for veterans programs while cutting construction costs at military bases. The House is also slated to debate and pass a $39 billion measure this week boosting the Homeland Security Department's budget by almost $1 billion compared with current levels.
With all of the talk about DHS being Obama`s civiliain police force, the overbuy of ammo and now The House wants to give them another BILLION dollars?

Memory management is very critical and hence an interesting topic in C/C++. In C, malloc and free are present. In C++, operator new and operator delete are provided, which give better control.
operator new
operator delete
Operator new and operator delete internally call the same old malloc/free . But they are called by new operator and delete operator, which calls object constructor and destructor for initialization and clean up.
Operator new
Intermixing new/delete and malloc/free should be avoided. In such cases, results are undefined and messy.
This operator internally calls malloc, and initializes object from memory. A simple form of this operator is:
static void* operator new(size_t size) { FreeStore* p=(FreeStore*)malloc(sizeof(FreeStore)); return p; }
This operator internally calls free:
static void operator delete(void *p) { free(p); }
The special operator new does nothing and is used to construct object from raw memory. It is simply implemented as:
void *operator new (size_t, void *p) { return p; }
First is irrelevant, but mandatory. And this operator returns a memory address passed to it. Later it is used for object construction. You can see this definition in <new.h>.
In a class for every form of new, there should be a corresponding delete present. If you define operator placement new in your class and forget to define the corresponding placement delete, the compiler will remind you. A simple form of placement delete is:
static void operator delete(void*,void *) { return; }
When allocating memory for an array of objects, things become interesting. Consider the following code snippet:
FreeStore* pArrayOfObject=new FreeStore[1]; delete [] pArrayOfObject;
In the above code, operator new[] and operator delete[] are used. Now we'll discuss methods used for implementing these operators. How is the track of array size kept.
operator new[]
operator delete[]
There are two commonly used methods to achieve this:
Here is a brief explanation of how it can be achieved.
As said earlier, allocate enough memory to hold extra information, i.e. of size of array. While deleting that array, unwrap that memory and use for deletion. In my example, I used 4 bytes for storing extra information. It is declared as:
const size_t BOOKKEEPING_SIZE=4;
Class FreeStore_BookKeep is used to demonstrate this.
I've used static method operator_new which would be called to allocate array of elements, it takes argument size_t, i.e., number of elements to be allocated.
This method would be like this.
// here actual allocated size is, BOOKKEEPING_SIZE more than requested size_t* ptmpObject = (size_t*) malloc(BOOKKEEPING_SIZE + nsize * sizeof(FreeStore_BookKeep)); //keep size in to preceding buffer *ptmpObject=size; FreeStore_BookKeep* pThis = (FreeStore_BookKeep*) ( ptmpObject + BOOKKEEPING_SIZE) ; size_t i(0); //in case constructor throws exception, free allocated memory for (i ; i < size; ++i) { //initialize FreeStore_BookKeep object from raw memory new (pThis+i) FreeStore_BookKeep(); } //returned memory is not ptmpObject, which is originally allocated. return pThis;
In the above method, memory allocated is more than what is requested. For deleting this array, static method operator_delete is used, while takes void* as parameter. i.e. pointer to delete memory. This method uses same information kept in extra bytes, to free the memory. Its implementation is like this,
//to access size, need to look preceding memory area size_t *ptemp=(size_t*)pMemoryToDelete-BOOKKEEPING_SIZE; size_t size=(size_t)(*ptemp); //need to call d'tor now FreeStore_BookKeep *pThis=(FreeStore_BookKeep*)(pMemoryToDelete); for (size_t i=0; i<size;i++) { (pThis+i)->~FreeStore_BookKeep(); } //Here free all memory allocated, considering book keeping free(ptemp);
The main drawback of this method is, if user doesn't use delete[](operator_delete in this case), and uses normal delete on pointer, then number of BOOKKEEPING_SIZE bytes will never be freed.
Use global map to store information about pointer and number of elements, i.e. while allocating memory, store pointer allocated as key, and number of elements as value, in global map. And while deleting memory, access the same map to find the number of elements allocated.
Class FreeStore_Map is used to demonstrate this. Global map is declared as:
typedef map<void*,size_t> MemoryInfo; MemoryInfo gKeepSizeTrack;
New operator_new method will look like this:
FreeStore_Map *pThis = (FreeStore_Map*) malloc(nsize * sizeof(FreeStore_Map)); size_t i(0); for (i ; i < nsize; ++i) { //placement new just returns pointer passed , //initializes objects from raw memory new (pThis+i) FreeStore_Map(); } //save pointer in global map gKeepSizeTrack[pThis]=nsize; return pThis;
Now, while deleting memory, the same map is accessed. New operator_delete will look like this:
//look for global map MemoryInfo::iterator it=gKeepSizeTrack.find(p); //get size size_t nsize=it->second; FreeStore_Map* pTemp=(FreeStore_Map*)p; for (size_t i=0; i<nsize;i++) { (pTemp+i)->~FreeStore_Map(); } //remove from global map gKeepSizeTrack.erase(p); //free memory allocated free(p);
operator_new and operator_delete need to be static in nature. Because operator new is the method that initializes/constructs class calling constructor and operator delete destroys object, these methods need to be static in nature.
The main function of code supplied looks like this:
//array of 100 elements using Book keep method FreeStore_BookKeep *pObjArr=FreeStore_BookKeep::operator_new(100); FreeStore_BookKeep::operator_delete(pObjArr);//delete it //array of 200 elements using global map method FreeStore_Map *pObjArr1=FreeStore_Map::operator_new(200); FreeStore_Map::operator_delete(pObjArr1);//delete it

Jun Du wrote:malloc/free and new/dlete are just different ways to manage the heap. C run-time uses malloc/free to manages its heap, whereas C++ uses new/delete to manages its heap. VC++ Debug uses DEBUG_NEW to manages its heap. I *believe* that new/delete calls C run-time malloc/free to perform the task internally. Following the same theme, one can override new/delete with your own approach to manage the heap, as this article does in operator new. Regardless, it is important to manage your heap consistently. If you call new to allocate a block, call delete to release it. Otherwise, you *may* screw up the memory.

Ok, so I know this is not massively Mad Men like…. But it is a shirt dress and there are loads of shirt dresses in Mad Men! I wanted a dress I would actually wear and not a costume. I love this material and although it's not completely Mad Men, I HAD to use it! I used McCalls 6503 as the pattern and didn't alter it at all. I wanted something with a small collar, feminine neckline and a gathered skirt so it kinda fit the bill. I had quite a lot of problems with the fit though, as it came up WAY too big and I had to take it in. I added piping which I really like, and cute fabric buttons on the top (just sewn on, no buttonholes). I quite like the pattern I think I might make another version in one colour as this one might be a tad busy. More pics and info on my blog Sleek Silhouette

Unbridled sensuality; excess.For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, LASCIVIOUSNESS. ( Galatians 5:17-19 )
la-siv'-i-us-nes (aselgeia, "licentiousness," "wantonness," "unbridled lust," "shamelessness," "outrageousness"):
1. Sources:
Etymologists assign three probable sources of aselgeia, namely:
(1) from a compound of the alpha privitive (negation) and Selge, a Pisidian city whose inhabitants according to Thayer (New Testament Lexicon) "excelled in strictness of morals," but, according to Trench, a place whose people "were infamous for their vices";
(2) from a compound of "a" intense, and salagein, "to raise a disturbance or noise";
(3) from a compound of the alpha privitive a- and selgo, or thelgo, "exciting disgust or displeasure." It evidently means conduct and character that is unbecoming, indecent, unrestrainedly shameless.
2. As Used in the New Testament:
Mark uses it in 7:22 with uncertainty as to the vice meant. Paul (2 Corinthians 12:21) classes it with uncleanness and fornication as sins to be repented of; also (Galatians 5:19; compare The Wisdom of Solomon 14:26, "wantonness") puts it in the same catalogue with other works of the flesh; and (Ephesians 4:19) he refers to some aged ones so covetous, that they made trade of themselves by giving "themselves up to lasciviousness." The same word is translated "wantonness" in Romans 13:13, meaning wanton manner, filthy words, unchaste movements of the body. Peter (1 Peter 4:3) mentions those who "walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries." He speaks (2 Peter 2:2) of "lascivious doings" (the King James Version "pernicious ways"); (2 Peter 2:7) "lascivious life" (the King James Version "filthy conversation"); and (2 Peter 2:18) of "lasciviousness" (the King James Version "wantonness"), as a means "to entice in the lusts of the flesh." Jude 1:4 probably does not refer to any form of sensuality in using the word descriptive of "ungodly men" who perverted the faith of some and denied our only Master.

Hundreds of fishermen of 12 hamlets staged a demonstration at nearby Tarangambadi, opposing a private company's proposal to set up thermal power plant in the coastal area in three villages in that area.
The company has proposed to set up a thermal power plant at an investment of over Rs 8000 crore in three coastal villages of Kaliappanallur, Ananthamangalam and Manickapangu.
The fishermen, who staged the demonstration yesterday, alleged that serious environmental damage would be caused to the coastal area if the plant was allowed to come up.
While coal waste would cause land pollution, disposal of waste water into the sea would result in severe water pollution. Both farmers and fishermen of this area would lose their livelihood, besides posing health hazards, they said.
Urging the Tamil Nadu Government not to allow the plant to be set up in this locality, the fishermen suggested that the company be offered an alternative location.
Traders at Tarangambadi observed a hartal in the town in support of the fishermen.
Meanwhile, fishermen of Vellapallam village near Vedaranyam continued their strike for the sixth consecutive day, seeking compensation for 11 fishermen injured in an attack allegedly by the Sri Lankan Navy on July 7.
They have also demanded a government job for the next of kin of the fisherman killed in the attack.
They have announced that they would continue the strike strike till July 18.

Hello, Summoners! My name is Sbudeeg. Some of you may know me from this thread on reddit, and for those that don't, allow me to shamelessly promote it for its anniversary by saying that if you like lore theories, you should give it a read. I've found myself with a ton of free time, and remembered that shortly after writing that, that I was invited to join in a fan-based Journal of Justice team. Unfortunately, the project never took off, and I started job hunting as my time in the military came to a close. I still have my love of the open world that Riot has presented us, and would love to find similarly minded people to work with on a revival of the project. If there's enough interested parties, I suspect we could expect a first issue within the next month, potentially sooner! I would also be interested in speaking with any artists that may want to illustrate the pages. "What makes this different from a fan-fic?" Well, that is a difficult question to answer. To me, I believe a fan-fic is simply taking an interpretation of the characters and placing them in a situation outside the normality of their world. In that, this project differs greatly. In fact, I personally would prefer each issue to be based on actual events of the past and lore hints given by Riot (although, as a publication for the people, I am more than willing to deviate if that is wanted). "Why would you want to undertake a project like this? Lore was never the focus of League of Legends." In truth, most of it is because I love to write. If it were less of a financial risk, I would have loved to become a journalist. To me, a project like this is just as fun as playing the game itself. I can remember logging in and seeing new JoJ issues and being absolutely thrilled - Riot's lore department has always been fantastic in creating engaging stories. I know that many summoners feel the same way, and I would like to do what I can to give them that same sense of elation, even if it means pouring hours into something that will take mere minutes to read. So I ask you all, would a project like this be something you would like to see done? Are there any among you that would want to join the team?
I'd be interested. The problem is that all of the volunteers would agree to adopt the same writing "theme". We can't have one indepth theory-crafter and one rosy love story side by side in one issue of our paper. So we need to communicate and collaborate on issues. Still, could work.
You touched on precisely the pitfall I want to avoid, hence why I mentioned what separates this project from fan-fiction. I don't want to have articles about Riven and Ahri's torrid love affair in the top-side river bush, while their respective teams duke it out at dragon, placed alongside articles about serious, heavy articles like the arms race between Viktor and Piltover.
I would love to join this team, if one is ever made. I have a true love of the lore, and find that it adds a grander depth to champions when I play them in a game. They have a story, and I like to think about their tales when I'm laning or jungling. Feel free to message me or let me know how I can get in touch with you, if you're looking to recruit people for help.
I think this is an interesting idea. Factions has used match outcomes and interactive lore events to develop its own storyline. An Overview of the Factions Saga A narrative retelling of the Factions saga that's developed over the past four storylines. We're about to conclude the current arc (Part IV: Shon-Xan), which features Noxus and Ionia, and hold a poll to decide which factions will face off next. I'm going to be doing another staffing/organization overhaul, and if anyone is interested in possibly contributing some Factions lore, let me know. I'm thinking that for the next arc we're going to formally establish two categories of lore: the combination lore/gameplay updates that reflect (e.g.) tournament results and add Champions to faction rosters, and some more atmospheric general lore that explores various parts of the story. So yeah, if anyone's interested in maybe joining us in fleshing out the Factions universe with some more lore, let me know! In addition to the narrative story updates, it occurs to me that maybe Factions could have a sort of JoJ analogue written in an in-universe news style.
Renekton Bot
I tried to do this once but they kicked me out of the old Journal offices. Apparently they still belong to someone so technically breaking and entering is considered "Breaking and Entering" by law.

(Updates with comment from analyst in fourth paragraph.)
July 19 (Bloomberg) -- China Merchants Bank Co., trading at the highest valuation among the nation's Hong Kong-listed lenders, plans to raise as much as 35 billion yuan ($5.4 billion) in a rights offer in China and Hong Kong.
The country's sixth-largest lender will offer 2.2 shares for every 10 held by investors, according to an exchange filing yesterday. The stock, which declined 0.2 percent to HK$18.10 by the midday break in Hong Kong, trades at 2.09 times its book value, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with the 1.69 average for its five larger domestic rivals.
Merchants Bank is bolstering capital as China joins U.S. and European regulators in tightening requirements to curb risks after governments were forced to bail out lenders following the global credit crisis. Local lenders are also raising funds to meet credit demand in China, where new loans in June rose from a year ago even as policy makers raised borrowing costs.
"China Merchants Bank's rights offer is to help it meet the capital requirements and to support the bank in extending loans," Wan Li, a Shanghai-based banking analyst at BoCom International Holdings Co., said by telephone today. She rates the stock as a "long-term buy."
Stricter Rules
China's banking regulator said in May that the nation's systemically important banks will be required to meet a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 11.5 percent by the end of 2013. Banks had an overall capital adequacy ratio of 11.8 percent at the end of March, the China Banking Regulatory Commission said on its website on May 13.
Merchants Bank's "core capital adequacy ratio is substantially lower than the new regulatory minimum," the lender said in a Chinese-language statement e-mailed yesterday. Its capital adequacy ratio was 10.9 percent, according to the filing.
The Shenzhen-based lender plans to set the sale price at a later date. Share sales are the "only viable option" as the bank's outstanding subordinated debt has already exceeded the limit set by the regulatory commission, it said.
"Short-term doubts over the bank's capital-raising plan have been removed," said Timothy Li, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Core Pacific-Yamaichi International (H.K.) Ltd. who has a "hold" rating on Merchants Bank. "It's clear now how much it plans to raise and how."
China Minsheng Banking Corp., based in Beijing, said in May that shareholders approved a plan to raise as much as $4.5 billion by selling shares and convertible bonds. Rival China Everbright Bank Co. is planning an equity offering in Hong Kong that may raise about $6 billion, while Bank of Beijing Co. has said it plans a $1.8 billion private placement of new shares.

Hi all,
I am looking at purchasing a small 1912 Craftsman bungalow to live in in California. It looks like a sweet deal, except the windows have all been torn out and replaced with ugly vinyl sliders. The house is in an historic district and the City has already filed a "notice of noncompliance" on the issue. The seller wants to dump this thing as-is. I think not wanting the hassle of dealing with the city is why no investors have snapped this thing up. So here's my question. I keep reading that replacing historic windows is "really expensive." If I'm getting a $30k discount on a house, does that make up for it? It's a small house, so there are about 8 to 10 average size windows involved. I am prepared to get real quotes from professionals if I am in the ballpark, but since I'm at home with a 7-month-old baby in a city about an hour away, I don't even want to get my hopes up if the numbers don't come close to penciling out. Thank you so much for any info you might have. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need to start at the agency who issued the notice of non-compliance. Find out exactly what they will accept as replacements. What mfg. have these. What vendor, be it a lumber yard or a window supplier such as T.M.COBB |

I don't know much about actual pricing. We bought 3 wood double hungs from a house about to be torn down (for $150), just need to refinish and put them in. My comment is about timing. Do you need to replace the windows quickly and will you have the money on hand to do so? If 30k discount is good, does that actually help you replace them right away if necessary? |
- Posted by oldhousegal (My Page) on Sun, Apr 18, 10 at 11:53
I replaced with custom wood (wide grain fir to match previous, not CVG), 3 and 5 light over 1 light, historically accurate, for my 1919 Craftsman. The windows that were 26" x 49" were $950 each. The windows that were 45" x 49" were $1500 each. This was through a local company in Portland, OR. So far I've only done 6 of them, as I'm saving up for the remainder of the 21 that still need to be done! Oh, how I wish I only had 10 to do! However, the ones with the Craftsman style divided lights on top were the most expensive. I've gotten quotes for the remainder simple double hungs (36"x49") were $750. Good Luck. |
We paid about $1000/window in the SF Bay Area for wooden double-paned double-hung windows designed to match the originals, which was on the low end of the custom bids we got and on the high end of the out-of-the-box wooden windows we looked at. (We went custom because the rest of the windows are still original, so we didn't want the two we replaced to look out of place.) You can get simple wooden double-hungs for $500ish in NorCal if the city doesn't care that they be "authentic" (which they may not---in our city, you just aren't allowed to put the vinyl or aluminum sliders in old houses, but as long as it's generally in keeping with the look they don't care beyond that). I'd give the city a call to find out for sure, though. |
- Posted by kashka_kat (My Page) on Mon, Apr 19, 10 at 17:16
Hard to say without seeing it. Are the channels for the ropes & pulleys still intact and original sill + trim around the window? Sometimes they just insert those slider things on the sides over the existing wood frame, If so sashes alone and new parting stops & pulleys (weights may be inside) might cost considerably less than having to reconstitute the whole assembly. Esp. if you were to do the re-assembling yourself. That was the route I took with 2 windows that were missing their sashes – just had a guy make a sash for about $200 ea. |
Google "Wewoka Windows" in Wewoka, Oklahoma. They're nationally known for their historically accurate, quality work, and the last time I asked about it, normal sized, divided light double hung were not $1,000.00 a window. You can always have them shipped to your location and installed by a local person. |
I am in the process of replacing windows for a 3 unit craftsman property. We had both handmade and Marvin factory made windows to match what we already have. Both ran slightly under $1,000 per window. The local-made ones looked lovely because they matched perfectly but the finish on the primer coat was really rough. When I refused to take them until they were resanded and reprimed, the owner of the shop said that they were up to the standard of our community. After a big argument. I got enough of a discount from him to resand and repaint myself. My advice is to really look at previously installed work from the local guy. Otherwise the windows are beautiful and historically accurate, but double paned. I'm saving up for the next batch. |
The first thing you need to find out is if they are going to require you to comply with California's Title 24 (energy conservation,) or if they will give you a waiver. Finding historic windows which are also Energy Star certified is an expensive proposition. Carla in Sac |

I'm currently doing a remodel and if you can, check out Wooden Windows in Oakland. The can do accurate reproductions of your existing windows. If required they can do double panes but it's not always a requirement. In my remodel in regards to Title 24 (at least according to my architect and contractor) they are looking at the total energy conservation. In my case, I am adding insulation, adding better windows than were existing, LED lighting, etc. I was not required to do double pane energy star windows. I ended up with some nice tight windows that match the existing windows down to the ropes and pulleys and I am meeting Title 24 requirements |

People with asthma have what is called a chronic (say: KRAH-nik) problem, or a problem that is always there, even when they feel OK. Everyday stuff such as exercise, pets, or cigarette smoke can cause an asthma flare-up.
During an asthma flare-up, the airways (breathing tubes where air moves in and out of the lungs) get swollen (puffy). These narrowed airways (breathing tubes) also can get clogged with mucus. And the muscles around the airways can tighten up. All of this makes it tough to breathe.
But medicine can help. There are two different kinds of medicines for treating asthma:
Rescue medications can loosen the muscles around the airways. That opens up the airways and makes it easier to breathe. Rescue medicines are usually inhaled (breathed) right into the lungs, where they stop wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath quickly. In other words, they rescue a person who's having trouble breathing!
These medicines work over a long period of time by keeping the airways from getting swollen in the first place. They may be inhaled or taken as a pill or liquid.
Rescue medications are important during a flare-up because they help someone breathe more easily right away. That means anyone who has asthma and has been prescribed rescue medications should always have them along — at school, on the basketball court, at the mall, and even on vacation.
But rescue medications don't do anything to help prevent an asthma flare-up. That's where controller medications come in. These medicines might not seem to be doing anything. In fact, a kid with asthma might not feel anything at all when taking them. But these medicines are quietly doing important work to control asthma every day.
Some people with mild asthma use only rescue medications when they have flare-ups. Others who have more severe asthma must take rescue medication when they have breathing problems and they need to take controller medications every day.
If you have asthma, your doctor will decide which type of medication you need and how often you need to take it.

Good = everything Bad= you never wanna put it down
What makes the T3 such a hot rifle? I keep hearing so much about them, but why should I buy one? I'm in the market for an inexpensive rifle, but right now, I'm leaning towards a Savage.
well balanced, floated barrel. T3 recoil pad, short bolt throw and super smooth, will put a hole in a hole everytime
oh...and if you wanna savage go to a pawn shop...they usually full of them
The reason I'm leaning towards a Tikka T3, is that I use to own a 30-06 M65 Tikka, and this had to be one the most accurate rifle I had. Unfortunatly, because I have so many rifles I got rid of this one a few years ago because I haven't use it for the last 12 years. Now that the bones and health is older, I'm looking for something lighter to carry in the bush. The truth is I just love hunting, and shooting rifles, always had and probably always will!
Another nice lite gun is a winchester model 70 featherweaight my grandpa has two, one pre 64 in 30-06 and another in 270 they are nice firearms and would be something else to consider if you could find one. The tika is nice but the barrel is much to floated in my opinoin.Although the gun is verry accurate. I know having a barrel that floated would be hard to walk around alot with because I own a savage model 11 and the barrel is floated much like the tika.I also dislike the stock it is european stock and fells funny when you hold it up. I almost bought tika t3 hunter in stainless but instead i decided on a ruger model 77 mark II IN 30-06 its a nice gun but not lite weight.
i dont like the savages a lot because the bolt feels very weird, it goes rotates so high that if you would have a scope cover it might not open!. tikka t3 is alot better and litter too.

The Links: Axe Body Spray Works
By Tom Miller
Before I get into it, I know that an all-links post is relatively lazy, but some of my fellow relationships writers really knocked it out of the park the last few days. And there is some news out there that is too important to miss and too trivial to get its own column.
First of all, ladies hold onto your underpants because according to Asylum, the Axe Effect is real (it's the male orgasm that's the myth). The men's body spray evidently makes men more confident / sexy rather than having some pheromone power. Feel free trade in that Corvette for a bottle of lady-killer and you'll appeal to the tree-hugger broads too. Asylum kicks in a bunch of other info on the relationship between scents and sex-ability but curiously don't tell us why there are no fugly dudes in the Axe commercials.
Finally, someone is as weirded out by Bromance as me. Esquire's list of blogs runs through the least heterosexual momemnts on Brody Jenner's BFF quest. All I'm saying is that it's perfectly natural for a couple of straight dudes to sing songs about each other and periodically take a naked hot tub together. Everyone knows that. And if they have to share a bed because it's scary outside, that's fine too.
Lemondrop tries to point out how to avoid making major dating mistakes over and over. Eventually they come to the realization that you can't. So, it's really more of an affirmation. "You're good enough, smart enough and, doggone it, everyone thinks that her phone must be broken because call when he said he would."
Reuters reports that there is a Masters level class in flirting in the IT school at Potsdam University in Berlin. The class teaches computer dudes to flirt by text message, look cool and handle rejection. Mystery, I'd guess, is planning a lawsuit. "Your honor, see Exhibit A, the neg. I invented this and the staff at Potsdam University have dubbed it die Verneinung in total disregard for international copyright law. Did I mention that they've suggested that all of their students wear ridiculous hats to engaged in pfau-ing?" Nerds.
Both Em And Lo are on a new website, reasonably called EmAndLo.com (it must have been a real battle for that URL). This time around they focus their unique brand of sexy girl power to the old problem of bar room neglect. They advise to take the bull by the horns and B E A G G R E S S I V E. Buy that guy a drink, tell him you like his Atari t-shirt and see where the night takes you. I love this advice, as a dude (and a coward), it's nice to have the onus of rejection on someone else's shoulders.

Five Mile Brewing Company I grew up next to "Five Mile Woods" and had my first beer there while camping and have very fond memories of drinking beers there on subsequent camping nights.
I've got Copperpot's. Yep, as in Chester Copperpot. Paying a little homage to the greatest 80's kids movie Of all time, The Goonies. Doubles as the brewery and the 10 person bar with 2 tap towers I built.
DiscoHair Brewery My brother and I used to live together and he had this border collie named Disco that shed like crazy. Everything we ate and drank had a Disco hair in it So with no exception, we found a Disco hair or two in each of our batches!!! Nothing too bad ever came out of it so we decided to call our little brewery DiscoHair Brewery.
Storm Mountain Brewing Co. A geographic reference to the place we used to party at in High School.
Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who.
Bringing back the high school days. Nice!
Mine's an idea behind the brewery - good quality beer and wine for as cheap as possible. For that reason I came up with the idea of a man born into nobility, then losing all of his money, living homeless, but still believing he's a rich man and having the same taste as one. I call it "Homeless Nobleman's."
"Tim's Closet Brewery" just stuck over the years. Its name is derived from the location in the house where my beer ferments. ;-) Over the years the "in the closet" jokes have dwindled as I have made an effort to "brand" my "company" with a nice logo, clever slogans, and the acronym TCB substituted for the full name. Oh yeah, I make good beer too. If I ever went big with my brewing, I would always make sure to slip "TCB" somewhere into the fine print just so that I would remember where I came from and to see how many friends would catch the joke.
The hardest part of all-grain brewing is arguing about it on the interwebs.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tims-C...9089362?ref=hl
well my name doesnt really have that cool of a story behind it other than, its always me, my brother and my father brewing together, so as usual stories,talking, and beer are involved. so with that combo their is always a lot of laughing going on. still working on a label but thinking old school looking three stoogies photo, black and white with our three heads kinda skewed.. well thats my story. oh yea the whole reason for writing this.. "Three Laughing Heads Brewery" and the brew pub would be named after that also..
That's funny about the Stooges, I used Larry on my Ginger Ale Old Porcupine Ginger Ale It's a Blenheim type spicy golden ginger ale.
Inferno Brewing Partially because my house burnt partially down a couple years back. Partially because after my buddy got toasted at my house he said the next day he felt he like went to hell and back.

I read some older posts about Harman Accentra warranties- one person said there was a 3 year electrical/mechanical/labor, and a parts/workmanship for 6 years. I bought an Accentra September 24, 2003. Last year, November 2, 2006, I was having problems- not lighting,5 blinks. I bought the stove from a dealer in Casper, Wyoming-4 hours away.The closest place to get one. The stove had been used about 2 monthspart of October, part of November 2003. Since then, it had not been used because I go to Texas in the winter. So last year I stayed home in the winter. Even though the stove had been used only a couple months, the dealer would help in any way- I asked if she would contact the manufacturer and let them know of the situation. She said they said no. I was not told about the 6 year part. Last nite and tonite I had to try twice to get it going. I have followed the cleaning directions explicently, but have not heard about cleaning'behind the panels'. Someone mentioned that their dealer faxed them a copy of how to do it- it is not in the book. Anyway- what would be the deal with the warranty? Maybe Harman is supposed to be the best pellet, but it does not compare to my BlazeKing Queen!(1984 model) I would have that back in a hearbeat if I could still cut wood. I use this for my only heat- when I finally get to build in Texas, I will have a BlazeKing for backup heat. I have heard that the newer BlazeKings are not as good as the older ones- what do you think? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry- I forgot to ask- I see a poster uses corn mixed with pellets- I did not know we could use corn??? |
Sounds like your ignitor is bad..........switch stove to manual mode and start with fire starting gel. The ignitor is a electrical componet thats only covered under the 3 yr. warranty. |
- Posted by firejumper (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 07 at 15:16
Before we blame the ignitor do we know if the ignitor is getting hot? if it is, you may want to check to see how much draft is going through the unit. Sometimes having too much draft will not allow the unit to light properly. Just something to think about. |
I forgot that I had asked my question because the stove started by itself....until last nite! I had to turn it to 'manual' last nite, as I noticed it was D#$%M cold in here, and it has not turned on- not even tried to light. Tonite, I again had to go manual- but it took two times. I have cleaned routinely as the book says, but am not sure I do all, as the pictures are not good quality. I hope I am getting to all the places that I am supposed to. As for the draft- I believe the adjustment is only supposed to be done with an instrument that the dealer/maintinance people use- right? It is adjusted in the lower left corner(as you face the stove)- a very small 'slot'? (can't get up right now to look at manual, as spoiled dog in lap). Why does it light when I go to manual, but doesn't on its own? Thanks |

Thanks Frost69. I hope I'm not hijacking this thread. If so let me know and I'll stop or start a new one.
From the link you gave me, I was able to find a bit more info on the salesman at the original dealer and found his daughter on FaceBook. I've sent her a message and hopefully she responds and can put me in touch with her father. Some old photos or stories about the dealership and that era would be fascinating.

So, what books are people reading right now? What are they about? What do you think of them? Would you recommend them?
I tend to read two or three books at a time. Currently, I'm making my way through the following:
I only just started Ishmael, but The Omnivore's Dilemma is very good.
Tags: books
Just finished Moon Called and Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs and am about a third of the way through Iron Kissed.
I have read the whole series before and really like it. I actually borrowed an electronic copy of the first five books in this series from my library, so I get to enjoy them all again. The library doesn't have an electronic copy of the sixth book (though they do have the audio version) so I'll have to see about getting that one later.
I am reading (for the 5th or so time) TFiOS. I don't think I have enjoyed a book so much in my life
I am also reading a book by Jean-Paul Sartre -a 20th century existentialist French philosopher- called "What is Literature?" which is very pretentious but also very interesting.
And, finally, this AMAZING book by a Greek writer called "The Number 31328" which I recommend to anyone out there who happens to be breathing!
I just started Daughter if Smoke and Bones by Laini Taylor. It's about a girl who's a little strange. Her hair is blue, naturally, she speaks inhuman languages, and draws monsters that may or may not be real. I think it's going to be fantasic.
I just finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I suggest you read it.
Gay Will Grayson meets straight Will Grayson at a porn shop. It's just... Wow. If you haven't read it, read it. It's marvelous and full of "fabulousness"
I am currently reading Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey. It's pretty awesome.
I just finished Johnatan S. Foer - Extremely loud and incredibly close. I loved it. I am deciding on what to read next and if I should read more of Foers books.
Foer is great, definitely read more. My favorite from him is Everything is Illuminated. It's a bit confusing at first, because it's told in a lot of different parts, by at least 3 different people that I can remember off the top of my head. Once you get the hang of it though, it's very good.
I've actually been really wanting to Everything Is Illuminated! It's been sitting on my list for a couple months.
I just started The Great Gatsby (guess where I'm at timewise in watching the vlogbrothers?). I am so desperately immersed in Fitzgerald's writing. That man forms quite an astounding sentence.
Michio Kaku's Einstien's Cosmos
Many different topics. I really like this book, and anyone who like science (space focused) would love it too!
I just finished Catching Fire by Susanne Collins. I think i am going to hate the world for a while...mostly because I don't have Mockingjay. This is why it took me so damn long to read the book. I kept putting off reaching the ending. I knew she was going to do something like this to me and you know what? She is evil!!!!!! And I love her, but this goes too far.
Have I ever mentioned how much I despise cliffhangers?
(please excuse all my ranting. just chalk it up to PETD...post ending trauma disorder)
Here are some links to help spread the awesome:
Here are some YT links to channels related to Nerdfighteria and educational content!
*Can you think of any more? Pass along any suggestions to an Admin who will then add it to this list should it fit!

Re: Ashleigh Barty
She will get MD WC anyway, especially to Brisbane being a local and all. No chance she will turn down a WC.
If she wins the $75k+H, her ranking will go to around 140. That would be a very small ranking jump, it gets much harder to climb rankings on ITF winnings alone. It will be very important to win some matches in January, or she will have to defend her ITF points for most of 2013 and it will be very hard to progress. But if she does win some WTA matches in January, I guess she will mostly start playing WTA events in 2013 which will be great.
If she wins 1st rounds of all 3, she will get 190 points. So it is critical for the rest of year she gets some wins in January.

ZZ Top and Jeff Beck are currently in Los Angeles rehearsing for their upcoming joint tour, which kicks off August 8 in Missoula, Mont. Fans, of course, are clamoring to know if the two will play together, and ZZ's Billy Gibbons tells us that will very likely be the case: "Yes. In fact, as we diverted yesterday from (talking about) cars to more musical things...he was grinning and I was kind of looking down at the notebooks and the notepad. I pulled it out of my pocket. I was scratching my head, trying to think, 'Now, what are we gonna do?' I said, 'Jeff, you got a smile on your face about something, and I don't know.' He said...'Are you familiar with this unusual posting on YouTube.' I said, 'What might that be?' He said, 'It's you and I playing '16 Tons,' ' the hit from the 50s that was made famous by Tennessee Ernie Ford. '16 Tons.' I said, 'Yeah man, let's go for it.' So there's a bunch of crazy fuel for the fire brewing." The ZZ Top-Beck tour was postponed from its original July 25 start date when ZZ bassist Dusty Hill had to have surgery to remove kidney stones. But Gibbons says both Hill and Beck, who canceled the second half of his European tour earlier this summer for an unspecified medical procedure, are healthy and ready for the trek.

5 This t-shirt kicks ass!!Posted: 03/10/2010Really nice t-shirt, made from a very light stretchy material. Thin but not see-through. Im a size 12 , ordered the medium and its a perfect fit. Very comfortable and the design print is excellent. For the money this t-shirt seriously kicks ass!!
The Mighty Boosh Future Sailors Tour Live Show: Limited Edition (4 Discs) DVD 14 New from £21.45 Free delivery Available used from £5.49
5 Why haven't you bought this yet?!!Posted: 18/12/2009An essential purchase for all mighty boosh fans. Incredible value for money, a multi coloured, Noel scribbled, lucky box of boosh treats. i was so excited opening up to find the fab belt buckle, groovey dvd tin and the boosh top trump cards were a really nice, original touch .The inclusion of the 2006 live show was also a great extra, and gave this limited edition package a complete feel.The future sailors dvd itself is another unique and hilarious fun packed show from the boys, i laughed and laughed to the end. This package really was made for the fans, and im going to purchase an additional one to keep sealed in all its glory!! buy it and enjoy!! :)
5 MUST HAVE BARGAIN BUY!!Posted: 09/10/2009A must have for all ross' fans, and an absolute bargain!!I was literally squealing with excitement when i opened the parcel to find this dvd set! the packaging alone is fab. with a nifty fold out design, ross' personal drawings/scribbles and groovey artwork throughout - including a booklet which folds out into a poster and 2 postcards. I couldnt wait to watch it, and i wasn't dissapointed. Ross' usual hilarious observations are here along with his fascinating imagination and unique story telling. And with over 6 hrs of bonus material, where you see behind the scenes amongst lots of other stuff you just cant go wrong for £15! I would recommend this dvd to anyone who likes their comedy less mainstream and more alternative. But personally, i think anyone who watched this dvd would become an instant ross noble fan!!
3 A little dissapointedPosted: 28/08/2009When i saw this t-shirt was in the two for £18 offer, i had to have it and ordered straight away as its a really good offer! However, when the t-shirt arrived and i opened my package i couldnt help but be a little dissapointed. The t-shirt is black with the revolver cover print in faded white but the lettering is NOT silver foil as pictured on the display image for this item. the writing is in the same faded white print as the picture and to be honest makes the overall look of the t-shirt cheap and homemade. I thought about returning the item but as i bought it with the two for £18 offer didnt want the hassle so have kept it and wear casually. On the plus side, it is good quality material and a nice fit. Im a size 12 and ordered a large which fits perfectly. I think it is unfair to show a different image of the t-shirt to what you actually get and wanted to make anybody interested in buying it aware of this
4 i luv t-shirt!Posted: 01/08/2009Ron Burgundy is a big deal - fact!luv this t-shirt, it may be a mans, but this lady had to have one! im a size 12 and got the small, it fits fine. little longer than my usual t-shirts but for £2.99 you cant go wrong! any anchorman fans would be pleased with this t-shirt
3 good, but tricky!Posted: 21/06/2009Ive just bought this game and have only managed to get thru the first part, which was homers dream land of chocolate! The next part is Bart as a superhero and i cannot get thru this game! i get to the same part everytime and get stuck, bart gets to the end of a platform and theres no where for him to jump onto,just keep falling off the edge which is so annoying! so if u like a challenge or are good at the mario kinda games i would recommend this game to you! if ne one can tell me how i get thru barts level it would be much appreciated! so buy it and tell me how to play it!
3 bargain buy!Posted: 21/06/2009For £5 this t-shirt is a great value, bargain buy! a classic design, and staple item to any punk/ 80's outfit!Im a size 12 and follow plays size guide, so always get t-shirts in large. i found this tee to be slimmer fitting than the other skinny-fit t-shirts ive bought from play. but it added to the look with this particular tee! The material is really nice n light, ideal for warmer weather or night out/gig. For £5 u cant afford to not buy it!
4 luv it!Posted: 21/06/2009I pre-ordered this t-shirt and when it finally came i was delighted with my purchase. The design is great, a really good choice of photo. The colour is charcoal grey as it appears in the pic and not black as it says in the description. Personally, i was pleased to find it was grey when i opened, as i think this colour works better with the other colours of the photo print. I particularly liked the material, its thinner and lighter than most t-shirts making it ideal for the warmer weather and nights out / gigs etc. In all, i am very pleased with it. i think its good value for money and its an essential purchase for all other doors fans out there!
2 very dissapointing :(Posted: 25/05/2009As a massive fan of the first touchmaster game, i was really looking forward to this second one. But within minutes of playing it, i was really dissapointed. The standard, quality, quantity and layout of the game is massively poor in comparison.Ive tried playin this game maybe 3 or 4 times and it just doesn't interest me. i wouldnt recommend this game, id advise anyone thinking of buying it to save their money for something else.
5 Must buy - addictive fun!Posted: 25/05/2009This game is a must have for all DS fans! Its ridiculously addictive, and theres something for all ages from 5 - 50 + yrs!It kept me amused for hours when i first i got it, couldnt put it down and i still enjoy it as much now.In all, an excellent value for money, entertaining, must buy game!

In this place of that we dwell under the sky's dome.
Some drift like airs wind. And oceans waves.
And so the whole planet we call home.
While others stay put, water and mountains slaves.
For many are constrained by the terrain.
No matter where we share out mothers joy and pain.
As breeze starts to stir flowers bend in their stance.
The current extends a hand to the land.
And on a warm spring evening they dance.

COLUMBIA— When Mike Stambaugh and his wife exchanged vows at the Hickam House in 1999, he never thought a decade later he'd be there fiddling with a different kind of ring.
"It's a beautiful cabin and certainly has a lot of history there," said Stambaugh, a research associate with MU's forestry department. "It's been standing for a long time, kind of symbolic for what you hope a marriage would be."
On Sept. 21, Stambaugh and his colleague, Richard Guyette, a research professor with MU's forestry department, circled the cabin in Rock Bridge Memorial State Park analyzing the structure and searching for clues of the house's elusive age. During the next few weeks, the pair of dendrochronologists, scientists who study tree rings, plan to do tree-ring analysis and core sampling on the log walls of the house.
"I'll take samples from the logs in the cabin and compare the pattern in the tree rings to known patterns," Stambaugh said. "The pattern in the log cabin will only fit in one place in time."
At an informational meeting on Sept. 8, Park Superintendent Jim Gast discussed tearing down the Hickam House. In the late '60s or early '70s, the house was reinforced with modern technology. Currently, park officials are unsure if the original logs were used in the renovation process. It is believed the cabin rests on the original 1830s site.
Park officials will not decide the cabin's fate until after Stambaugh completes the log analysis. Stambaugh and Guyette plan to sample the logs in mid-October and anticipate that it will take a month to get the results.
"I don't know what we'll do if it's deemed to be historical," Gast said. "It's nice to have the cabin, but if it's not historical then we can't maintain it."
The crumbling walls and deteriorating logs look out of place next to the remodeled chimney, fireplace and split-shingle roof. While the updates were designed to mimic building styles of the early 1800s, the neatly assembled stone fireplace sits awkwardly on the cabin's dirt floor.
Gast said the house is beginning to sag and, if left in its present condition, will continue to deteriorate. If nothing is done, eventually the cabin will be unsafe for park visitors.
The cabin's uncertain background and unstable structure led officials to believe the house wasn't worth the funding necessary to save it.
Stambaugh heard about the park's plan and offered to perform wood analysis on the structure free of charge.
Stambaugh said the outward condition of the logs indicated that parts of the house might be older than the 1900s, but there were a couple that showed evidence of replacement. "Most of them look to be older, but we'll see what the tree rings bring out," he said.
In the event the state parks division decides to move forward with dismantling the cabin, Gast said the park would try to sell the chimney, wood and any other salvageable materials. If another entity is interested in the whole cabin, however, the park is willing to sell it as is.
A 1985 document written by a private citizen, Judie Erbschloe, outlines the cabin's muddled history but offers no clear answer to the age of the logs. This text conflicts with the memory of Scott Schulte, who held the position of park superintendent from 1978 to 2004.
"The oral tradition was that in 1967 there was a house in the present location of where the cabin is," Gast said. "The house was deemed not to be appropriate for a state park so in the late '60s and early '70s when they began tearing down the house they discovered this log cabin inside of it."
According to what Gast refers to as local tradition, the park restored certain aspects of the structure when the log cabin was discovered within the walls of the house.
David Sapp, former president of the Boone County Historical Society, said with each modification the cabin loses historical value. If the majority of the cabin is actually from the early 1800s, however, it's an important piece of Columbia's earliest history.
"You can't consider it a historical artifact if that much of it is not historical," Sapp said. "It might represent the shape, but ideally you want as much as possible of the original piece."
If the park chooses to dismantle or move the Hickam House, Sapp said he would like to preserve as much of its history as possible.
"For example, I would certainly want to have it carefully photographed and its location documented, measurements made and whatever other data we could get," Sapp said.

All of us who lead in a church understand the cost of doing ministry—the financial cost, that is. We know our budgets and the limits of what we can afford or not afford.
However, many pastors and leaders are allowing some intangible costs to rob them now, and the net result will be devastating if these "costs" are not cut.
1. A complaining culture. We all know what this means. It's that thing that says, "It's not my way, so I'm going to complain about it." Your church can't afford that. You have to teach your people and get it into your DNA that people simply can't complain. You want your people to be about 80 percent happy. When people are 80 percent happy, you know you're reaching all kinds of people. The second people get 100 percent happy, you will only reach those just like them. Here's the thing: Teach your people that they can't complain about the 20 percent they're not happy with. It's suffocating to your church and your vision. The cost is too high.
The term profiling is relatively new in today's vocabulary. It became nationally popular in the early 80s, when the public suspected and targeted a person, or persons, on the basis of some characteristic, behavior, color, race or religion. This has become known as profiling, usually carrying a negative connotation.
Before jumping into biblical profiling, which is a major step in God's direction, let me share with you my horrifying experience of personal profiling. I speak from an event sketched in my memory forever. This is a story I'd rather not relive, but I will offer it up for your benefit and to lay a firm foundation for the value of profiling others.
I've been called a lot of things in my life but I never thought I'd be called the "Anti-Fat Pastor." Not me, the one who for years wouldn't go to bed until I'd eaten my nightly giant bowl of ice cream as I sat in my La-Z-Boy™ recliner.
"The Anti-Fat Pastor," who me? The one who weighed in at 340 pounds and suffered with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes? Wow! Has my life changed!
Someone once said a journey begins with the first step. My journey began with a prayer to God for guidance with my weight and health issues. My first step was the decision to live better once my heart was impressed with a passage from the scriptures that would inspire me to change.
In the aftermath of the tragic suicide of Rick and Kay Warren's son Matthew, another tragedy is occurring. So-called followers of Jesus are using Matthew's death as an occasion to attack Pastor Warren. This is sick, ugly—and sadly—indicative of the state of the body today.
It's one thing for non-believers to make ridiculous statements like, "your son died due to your anti-gay hate toward gay people including your son" (as if there was even evidence that Matthew was gay, or as if he was not greatly loved by his mother and father, which he clearly was). It's another thing when believers take this occasion to bash Rick Warren's supposed theological errors, as if this was some kind of divine payback for his alleged sins. What kind of garbage is this?
Simple ways your church can impact Hollywood
As a Christian who works in Hollywood, nothing frustrates me more than seeing the vast chasm separating those two worlds from each other. But it really doesn't have to be that way.
For too many generations, we who claim the name and the cause of Christ have ceded pop culture to others, walking away years ago in a well-intentioned but ultimately self-defeating attempt to lodge our displeasure. We have all too often allowed ourselves to get involved in harebrained, quixotic efforts (boycotts, letter-writing campaigns, etc.) that have amounted to little more than making us look like a bunch of whiney chumps.
Much of our failure with Hollywood is due to a severe lack of relationship. We demand changes, issue threats and dismiss a whole industry as evil, all without ever trying to build any trust or friendship. It's like a stranger telling you you're fat and demanding that you go on a diet. They might be right, but how would you feel?
Grace Hill Media, the company I founded 13 years ago—it wasn't even a company then, just me—has been trying to change that one project at a time. We've worked on more than 350 movie and TV projects now, including Les Misérables, The Hobbit, The Blind Side, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Bible series, The Chronicles of Narnia series, Walk the Line, Man of Steel and 42, to name a few. Our goal is to extract spiritual lessons from secular films, highlighting for the faith community entertainment that shares in our beliefs, explores our values and enhances and elevates our view of the world.
But it's time for a grander vision for the world's 2.2 billion Christians to change the future by looking to our past.
There was a time when the Church was a patron of the arts, where we worked in concert with the great artists to create timeless, transcendent beauty. We wanted great art, and we were willing to pay the best artists to make it. I dare you to walk in St. Peter's Basilica and not be awestruck. Or stand in front of Michelangelo's Pietà and not be moved by the sacrifice of Mary. I dare you to visit Leonardo's "The Last Supper" fresco at the Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan and not be lured in by the startled reactions of the disciples when Jesus announces that one of them would betray Him.
But the definition of "patron of the arts" has changed over five centuries. No longer a rich aristocrat, a "patron" today is the audience, the ticket-buying consumer. And that's how we can forever alter the cultural landscape. Christians are a huge demographic in this country and around the world. If only a tiny percentage of us decides to act in unison, we can make any project we want a hit—any time we want. We can turn the game of Hollywood on its ear by making ourselves a desirable, bankable audience.
If we support movies that spotlight and reinforce our biblical values—as we did with the excellent, Oscar-winning Les Misérables—Hollywood will make more. That's how the industry works; it chases money and momentum. In fact, already in the pipeline are projects like Noah, starring Russell Crowe and directed by Darren Aronofsky, and a retelling of the story of Moses being developed by Steven Spielberg. And there are countless others in development: Paradise Lost, Pilate with Brad Pitt, Cain and Abel with Will Smith. The list goes on and on.
Each time one of these projects gets made, it also gets marketed with tens of millions of dollars, both domestically and internationally. That's a free global advertising campaign for our faith. That means the Bible becomes a staple in pop culture. The gospel gets preached worldwide.
When that happens, we're looking at another Renaissance. And isn't that a lot more appealing, and eternally significant, than another boycott?

As public policy continues to change on the issue, a LifeWay Research poll shows 58 percent of American adults agree it is a civil rights issue and 64 percent believe it is inevitable same-sex marriage will become legal throughout the United States.
LifeWay Research conducted a wide-ranging survey of American adults on questions surrounding same-sex marriage; specifically examining whether clergy, wedding photographers, rental halls, landlords and employers have the right to refuse access and services to same-sex couples, even if same-sex marriage is made legal in their state.
