Davis/White's spin in free dance took 15 second, Virtue/Moir's spin 20 second, Ilinykh/Katsalapov's spin 25 second. Yes remove a 6 second lift so we will see more dancing

If they were going to get rid of a lift, I would rather that they got rid of the choreographic lift.
What this will probably do is spell the end of the combination lift for most teams. This is too bad IMO.
Has the ISU explained what the motivation behind this change is?
Probably what the article said:
In both the junior and senior free dance, the number of lifts will be reduced by one in order to leave more time and energy for dancing and choreography. In addition, teams may choose whether to do a choreographed lift, as they did this season, or a "choreographic spin movement," which is new for the 2014-15 season.
Jean Luc Baker is echoing arguments he hears at home, and that are probably common among older dancers, and perhaps the tech committee as well:
This change will be hard on Coomes and Buckland, but it might be good for the Shibsibs.Baker -- the son of four-time British ice dance champion Sharon Jones -- is in favor of the new rules.
"I was brought up [with] more vintage-style ice dance, not 'Look at me, how strong I am, I throw my partner around like a doll,'" he said. "That's more pairs. I like to see the dance in ice dance.
"I wish they could incorporate dancing a little more and not so much technique," he continued. "It's so hard with the quickstep this year to really show the style of a quickstep because we have to do so many technical things and we can't really allow the dance to flow as it was created. It's hard to do two things at once."

I think this is good. However does the time for each lift remain at 6 seconds?
basically this new rule favors little height difference like the overjoyed Hawayek / Baker etc.
will be disappointing for Coomes / Buckland who rely on their height to get difficult lifts but having terrible skating skills
Good news for Stepanova/Bukin too. Interesting last two world junior ice dance champions have little height difference.
Height difference? What we should have is fewer but more choreographically interesting lifts. So rather than all six second lifts one should be a extended lift say 10 seconds. Otherwise what real challenge is there moving from juniors to seniors? Just an extra 30 second choreographic sequence/content? How do you objectively grade that?
Sure that would be a good development. But it isn't. It's simply eliminating an entire lift for what? Six more seconds of steps? And as Doris points out, it is going to kill combo lifts. So say good bye to programs like Scheherazade, which gains much of its excitement of its ending from the momentum of one lift after another. Oh well.
Oh it's a step alright--a big step backward.
Let's get serious S/B have lots of work to do no matter what rules are in place. It is the russian coaches who are partly to blame for the poor packaging and refinement of their skaters. Zhulin at the very least tries to polish his skaters. If S/Z don't make serious improvements or change coaches they will be overtaken by a number of new faces.
I agree that more creativity in the SD could be very good, especially because it may lead to new CDs (during the last 20 years only a couple of dances were invented!), but taking one lift away from the FD is not really an intelligent move

Let's face it: most teens have cell phones, and most districts allow kids to bring cell phones to school. Your child's cell phone is almost the modern-day equivalent of a watch — an accessory that she carries every day and checks frequently in front of her peers. So, a new cell phone case seems like a reasonable back-to-school purchase. With a combination wallet/iPhone case, like this one by CM4, we guarantee your child is much less likely to forget her lunch money!

Hi, im gonna get my car serviced at audi (wakefield) for the first time, only had the car 2 weeks and its started to feel sluggish / a lot louder / loss of power and no boost. Hoping its something not too expensive, I ordered a Rev D Diverter value online, would they fit it? Does the service even include turbo? I know in the part some garages have refused to fit my parts because they didnt come from them. Also i went to book online, and all i see is this (no prices) service unknown? Thanks for any help
Mine is booked in to Wearside Audi on Friday, not sure which service option it's getting but it is £285 inc parts & labour. At that price I would imagine it's the Major Inspection service. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
[h=2]Our fixed-price jobs are*:[/h] Major service £309 Interim service £159 Cam belt £439 Brake pads (front) £139 Brake pads & discs (front) £269 Brake pads (rear) £129 Brake pads & discs (rear) £259 Clutch (quattro®) £929 Clutch (non quattro®) £749 Brake fluid change £59 Front Wiper Blades £39 Fixed-price servicing < Servicing with Audi < Owners area < Audi UK Does look like Major service..
It might not 'need' a service but the OP might want to get one, when u bought my car the service stamp said it want needed for another 9 months but I got a major service done for piece of mind
For the fixed price servicing do you konw what brand brake discs and pads audi use? Mine will need replacing this year and ideally want some with as little brake dust as possible but are also as good as OEM for safety. All aftermarket seem to be geared towards performance (so may be ore brake dust) and I do not want to start using parts that may cause issues such as squeaky brakes when cold etc. Thanks
Good old wakefield Audi. There new place is nice. I'm sure I paid 250 for the major service though. 150 for the interim service.

Gerhard Müller
Character Analysis
The second person who appears in the book's dedication after Mary O'Hare is Gerhard Müller, the German taxi driver who takes the narrator and Bernard V. O'Hare to the real-life slaughterhouse where they took shelter from the Dresden firestorm. Müller's life is like some kind of weird reflection of the narrator's own: he was a prisoner of war of the Americans during the war, and his mother burned to death in the Dresden firebombing.
The narrator particularly likes Müller because he sends O'Hare a Christmas card hoping that they will meet again "if the accident will" (1.1.5). This awkward phrase really emphasizes one of the main themes of the book: chance. So much of the book is made up of Deep Thoughts on free will and fate, and Gerhard Müller's accidental meeting with the narrator in his taxicab is only one example. Check out our "Fate and Free Will" theme section for more on this point.

Can you insure a car not registered to you ?
Jurisdiction / State: Pennsylvania
A car is leased and insured in one individual's name. Then a boyfriend wants to start paying the lease, use the vehicle and insure it - ? That's the first concern - if the boyfriend decides to take off - you face the fact he may stop paying on the lease and would then let the insurance lapse. Will a lease company allow a transfer - or what the heck are the consequences? (I'm guessing not good)

Don't ever fall victim to the "I'll pay for XXXXXXXX", just sign it over to me.
Or, "If you finance is in YOUR name, I'll make the payments."
If I were you, I'd say NO, and dump that loser!!!!!!!!!!!

I suggest you investigate lease transfer provisions that will allow him to assume the lease and leave you not liable for it.

Package: vision
Track points in video using Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) algorithm
The point tracker object tracks a set of points using the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT), feature-tracking algorithm. You can use the point tracker for video stabilization, camera motion estimation, and object tracking. It works particularly well for tracking objects that do not change shape and for those that exhibit visual texture. The point tracker is often used for short-term tracking as part of a larger tracking framework.
As the point tracker algorithm progresses over time, points can be lost due to lighting variation, out of plane rotation, or articulated motion. To track an object over a long period of time, you may need to reacquire points periodically.
pointTracker = vision.PointTracker returns a System object, pointTracker, that tracks a set of points in a video.
pointTracker = vision.PointTracker(Name,Value) configures the tracker object properties, specified as one or more name-value pair arguments. Unspecified properties have default values.
Code Generation Support |
Supports MATLAB® Function block: Yes |
System Objects in MATLAB Code Generation. |
Code Generation Support, Usage Notes, and Limitations. |
To initialize the tracking process, you must use the initialize method to specify the initial locations of the points and the initial video frame.
initialize(pointTracker,points,I) initializes points to track and sets the initial video frame. The initial locations POINTS, must be an M-by-2 array of [x y] coordinates. The initial video frame, I, must be a 2-D grayscale or RGB image and must be the same size and data type as the video frames passed to the step method.
The detectFASTFeatures, detectSURFFeatures, detectHarrisFeatures, and detectMinEigenFeatures functions are few of the many ways to obtain the initial points for tracking.
Define and set up your point tracker object using the constructor.
Call the step method with the input image, I, and the point tracker object, pointTracker. See the following syntax for using the step method.
After initializing the tracking process, use the step method to track the points in subsequent video frames. You can also reset the points at any time by using the setPoints method.
[points,point_validity] = step(pointTracker,I) tracks the points in the input frame, I using the point tracker object, pointTracker. The output points contain an M-by-2 array of [x y] coordinates that correspond to the new locations of the points in the input frame, I. The output, point_validity provides an M-by-1 logical array, indicating whether or not each point has been reliably tracked.
A point can be invalid for several reasons. The point can become invalid if it falls outside of the image. Also, it can become invalid if the spatial gradient matrix computed in its neighborhood is singular. If the bidirectional error is greater than the MaxBidirectionalError threshold, this condition can also make the point invalid.
[points,point_validity,scores] = step(pointTracker,I) additionally returns the confidence score for each point. The M-by-1 output array, scores, contains values between 0 and 1. These values correspond to the degree of similarity between the neighborhood around the previous location and new location of each point. These values are computed as a function of the sum of squared differences between the previous and new neighborhoods. The greatest tracking confidence corresponds to a perfect match score of 1.
setPoints(pointTracker, points) sets the points for tracking. The method sets the M-by-2 points array of [x y] coordinates with the points to track. You can use this method if the points need to be redetected because too many of them have been lost during tracking.
setPoints(pointTracker,points,point_validity) additionally lets you mark points as either valid or invalid. The input logical vector point_validity of length M, contains the true or false value corresponding to the validity of the point to be tracked. The length M corresponds to the number of points. A false value indicates an invalid point that should not be tracked. For example, you can use this method with the estimateGeometricTransform function to determine the transformation between the point locations in the previous and current frames. You can mark the outliers as invalid.

Good or bad item for AP Ezreal?
Nope, Ez doesn't have the mana pool to make that item shine. You're better off getting Rod of Ages(which help your HP pool too).
Nihil Sine Nefas
It takes a while to build up the mana and you'll be squishy for a while if you rush it first. You're probably better off getting something that helps your survivability.
Junior Member
I don't want to make a new post only for that, but i got a question about Ezreal.... Is that better to play him as Ap or Heal?
Locket -> CDR -> Sheen IMO.
True Bandito
AP Ez can be better than Soraka depending on the situation. Eating Ap Ezreal's ult point blank can be a horrifying experience for the entire team. Ez' heal is also great since it can heal multiple heroes and have low cooldown.
What's the point? Well, i'm new to that game. I ask some people will playing and they told me that. I just wanted to make it sure. Sorry if my question was out of line. Still, thanks for the answer anyway.
Jamie Fawley
AP ez can outheal a soraka by quite a bit if ur pushing a lane so you can Q alot and especially if your teammates bunch up for heals or u just find the right angel to hit multiple allies at once, not to mention ez will heal as much or more then soraka will in one spell. Throw in a heart locket and CDR and Ez is probably the best healer ingame(except for himself)

Portal The insanely popular Half Life mod gets the Flash treatment.
Author Comments
* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
good but glitchy.
It was good and highly addictive but a bit too glitchy, like at one point I was trying to portal one box to a place and when I put it into the portal instead of going to the other portal it just returned to its starting point, you would have gotten a 10 and a 5 for this if not for that, please fix this annoying glitch!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Nice but
You really should have set one portal for each mouse buttons... like in the real version, that's really more easier to play that way.
Nice job anyway ^^
Rated 5 / 5 stars
REALLY addictive
Yeeee I got to level 25 and i am still trying to beat the whole thing
Flash Portal is one of my favorite online games! :)
And everyone should play it

Choose five of your favorites, and the sushi will predict your future in areas that include love, family, and money. It's pretty accurate, too. I chose the salmon, which signifies high self-esteem in relationships; the crab egg salad, which indicates that I care about my family and enjoy being with them; and the ebi, which tells me that I'm too cautious when it comes to money and always miss my chance to strike it rich. Guess that's why I have a husband who claims he'll never leave me except to go to work, two children who cling to me like plastic wrap, and zero cash.

LMT's Exclusive 2014 Fee Survey Report: In the 'Race to the Bottom,' Profitability is the Loser
LMT's 2014 Fee Survey respondents offer a mixed picture of their sales and profitability. On one hand, laboratory sales seem to be slowly improving. Profits, though, seem to be lagging behind.

May 22, 2014 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Line up and batting order structure I normally stay out of these kind of discussions, but wanted to throw a few thoughts out there for you to consider. Playing 11 on defense suggests to me that your team is at least 70. At 70+ you know that injuries and life altering circumstances (cancer, etc) are a reality. Every player on your roster has value, and should be treated as an asset. They put in time, money and effort. Although not intentionally done, you just suggested the following: I inherited this team from another guy and don't plan on keeping. everyone next year. Batters 1-7 are my stars Batters 8-11 are okay, but will be replaced if something better comes along. Players 12-17 will be asked back only if needed. From a distance, my advice is to re-think things. By playing your stars 100% of the time, you increase the chance for them to become injured or worn down. If they are truly stars, then they don't necessarily need extra at-bats or reps on defense. The guys with lesser skill will only improve with opportunity. Good luck to you. |
May 20, 2014 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Unusual play All plays at home are considered a force play. Any runner that touches (or crosses) the commitment line while the catcher has control of the ball and is in contact with the mat would be called out. There is no requirement for the catcher to step off of the mat and re-touch the mat to record the 2nd out on the play. |
May 19, 2014 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: RESULTS- Atlantic Coast Championships Results from the Atlantic Coast Championships, which were played in Loudoun County, VA last week are posted below.

May 16, 2014 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championships After receiving 4.5 inches of rain overnight, all games scheduled for FRIDAY have been canceled. We fully expect to play ball at both parks on Saturday. VERY IMPORTANT - All teams need to have a manager at the host hotel (DoubleTree) at 1pm today. At that time, we will announce the tournament recovery plan. The weather communication plan was explained to all managers in attendance at the coaches meeting last night. Accordingly, we posted tournament related information on the Loudoun County Parks rain line (703-777-0456) by 6:15am. |
April 24, 2014 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Maryland Classic Start times and brackets were sent to coaches a week ago. They have also been posted at www.PotomacSports.org (as explained in the email to coaches). Just 10 teams for this one, but that is to be expected as this was a replacement tournament after fields in Dover were closed for maintenance issues. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces this weekend. Tim |
March 4, 2014 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 2 Rules that are somewhat unclear Item 1- The home team always has a chance to catch up, and (using your example) would take their turn at bat in the bottom of the 6th. Item 2- An inning that begins before time expires would allow a max of 5/7 runs. An inning that begins after time expires would be considered an "open" inning, and therefore allow teams to score as many runs as they can. |

Jan. 24, 2014 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: You make the call part 643 INHOC2 My response above was intended to discuss the scenario of a "foul tip" only. In SSUSA play a foul tip (with less than 2 strikes) must have gone higher than the batter's head, and have been caught with the glove or hand(s) for an out to be recorded. In the 2nd part of your most recent post, a one hopper to the shortstop is ground ball / live ball. The batter-runner and any runner(s) on base are free to run the bases with liability to be put out. |
Jan. 23, 2014 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: You make the call part 643 Section 1.29 FOUL TIP A foul tip is a ball that goes directly from the bat, not higher than the batter's head, to the catcher's hand(s) or glove and is legally caught by the catcher. NOTE- Any batted ball that goes directly from the bat, not higher than the batter's head to any part of the catcher's body or equipment other than the hands(s) or glove is a foul ball and a dead ball. 1) For an out to be recorded, the batted ball must have cleared the batter's head (catcher's height is irrelevant) and be caught with the hands or glove 2) A batted ball that is caught or trapped in any location other than the hands or glove is considered a foul ball / dead ball. |

Oct. 10, 2013 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: STAFF Question on the Tie Breaker Rule B.J. This exact scenario has been kicked around at SSUSA UIC training meetings. It was ultimately decided that allowing a 7th inning defensive substitute to enter the game so that he/she became the "batter of record" in the 8th inning circumvents the intent of the rule. A substitute would be allowed to enter the game and play defense, but the actual batter (from the prior inning) would need to take 2nd base under the ITB rule. |
July 31, 2013 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: BATTER RUNNER IS OUT The wording is a little confusing and should be cleaned up, but keep in mind that you are only a batter-runner between home and first base. After passing first base, you become a runner. |

Coyle fires Trotters warning
14 Mar 2010 - 10:58:42
Owen Coyle insists Bolton Wanderers are not yet out of the relegation woods, despite Saturday's 4-0 rout of local rivals Wigan Athletic.
Goals by Johan Elmander, Kevin Davies, Fabrice Muamba and Matt Taylor helped move the Trotters up to 13th place in the table.
They are now eight points clear of the relegation places but, although admitting he was delighted with the club's biggest win in three years, Coyle is refusing to let his thoughts drift to life in the top-flight next season.
He explained: "We are certainly not safe yet, that's for sure.
"We've got a great result today, but we've still got some points to pick up to make sure that we are a Premier League club next year.
"We've got a tough period of games coming up so we are going to have to be at our best, but we are capable of picking up points in those games."
Coyle also heaped praise on Elmander and Muamba after the latter bagged his first goal for the club.
"Johan and Fabrice have both been outstanding for me from day one," he continued.
"I am so pleased for Johan who has worked so hard. You ask any of his team-mates how valuable he is to the team.
"Fabrice is a young English player and I believe he has the scope to develop into a truly fantastic player."

The Signature of the Shapovalov Form on Irreducible Verma Modules
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information Abstract: A Verma module may admit an invariant Hermitian form, which is unique up to a real scalar when it exists. Suitably normalized, it is known as the Shapovalov form. The collection of highest weights decomposes under the affine Weyl group action into alcoves. The signature of the Shapovalov form for an irreducible Verma module depends only on the alcove in which the highest weight lies. We develop a formula for this signature, depending on the combinatorial structure of the affine Weyl group. Classifying the irreducible unitary representations of a real reductive group is equivalent to the algebraic problem of classifying the Harish-Chandra modules admitting a positive definite invariant Hermitian form. Finding a formula for the signature of the Shapovalov form is a related problem which may be a necessary first step in such a classification.

Free advice on problem debtbased on what's best for you
If you're part way through a Debt Remedy session...
If you're an existing DMP client...
Some organisations claim to be able to write off your credit card debt for you. Be careful - these claims are misleading and could cost you even more money.
Beware of any firms claiming to be able to write off your credit card debt by using a legal loophole, and be particularly wary of anyone asking for upfront fees to do the job.
FREE online debt advice 20 mins
Freephone, including all major mobile networks*0800 138 1111 Or request a call back
Under the Consumer Credit Act, there are situations in which a debt becomes 'unenforceable'. Don't be confused by this - if a debt is considered unenforceable this does not mean it has been written off.
Under the Act, if a creditor has made an error on your credit agreement, the debt becomes unenforceable until the error is corrected. The Act also gives consumers the right to request a copy of their credit agreement and, while they are waiting for this information, the debt is also considered unenforceable.
If your debt is unenforceable, this means that your creditors cannot take out a court judgement against you, or demand back items on credit or hire purchase whilst you are waiting for the correct paperwork from them.
It does not mean that your debts are written off. You will still owe any money outstanding to your creditors and charges and interest could still be added to your debt whilst you are waiting for the information you have requested or for errors to be corrected. What's more, once your creditor has provided you with the paperwork requested, your debt becomes enforceable again.
If you are worried about your credit card debt, we recommend that you get in touch with us straight away. We will look at your circumstances and work out the best debt solution for your situation.

HomeStreet Completes Purchase Of Two Branches From AmericanWest Bank
HomeStreet Bank and its parent company, HomeStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ:HMST) (the "Company"), announced today the completion of its purchase of two retail deposit branches and some related assets from AmericanWest Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank. The branches, located in Bainbridge Island and West Seattle, increase HomeStreet's total deposits to approximately $2.37 billion on a pro forma basis as of September 30, 2013, and increase the bank's retail deposit branch network to 20 in its home region of Puget Sound (Washington) and 30 overall in Washington, Oregon and Hawaii. HomeStreet Bank also operates 41 mortgage loan production offices in the Pacific Northwest, California and Hawaii, and four commercial lending offices in the Puget Sound region.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning HomeStreet, Inc. and HomeStreet Bank and their operations, performance, financial conditions and likelihood of success. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about the successful integration of the acquired branches, as well as statements that anticipate these events or their outcomes or success, are forward looking in nature. Forward-looking statements are based on many beliefs, assumptions, estimates and expectations of our future performance, taking into account information currently available to us, and include statements about the competitiveness of the banking industry. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond HomeStreet's control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we do not undertake to update them to reflect changes or events that occur after that date.
We caution readers that a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. Among other things, our ability to retain the assets and customers related to these acquisitions, and our ability to realize the benefits expected from these transactions, may be limited due to future risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, changes in general economic conditions that impact our markets and our business, actions by the Federal Reserve affecting monetary and fiscal policy, regulatory and legislative actions that may constrain our ability to do business, and the competitive environment. A discussion of the factors that we recognize to pose risk to the achievement of our business goals and our operational and financial objectives more generally is contained in our Annual Report for 2012 and in Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013. These factors are updated from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and readers of this release are cautioned to review those disclosures in conjunction with the discussions herein.

Big government continues
Posted by
Staff Writer

Obamacare is now the law of the land if only by a narrow margin of the vote of the Almighty Nine. The Supreme Court did, however, establish Obamacare as a tax. Our always honest "president" had earlier assured us that it was not a tax. Good, bad or indifferent, the passage of Obamacare is a significant milestone in the continuing growth of big government.
Personally, I am ideally a believer in laissez faire—government noninterference in our lives and businesses. Unfortunately, this policy, if it can still be called a policy, continues on the way of the dinosaur. The rugged individualism of free enterprise is a disappearing aspect of American history. Let's face it, we are a co-dependent society. The government no longer serves us, if it ever did, we serve the government. In a land of diminishing resources and increasing demands where big government will carry our descendants only the Lord knows. One thing for sure is that our descendants will not grow up in that same America that we did.
The growth of big government didn't start with Obama, Bush, or even FDR; it has its roots in the very beginning of the good ole USA. Many believe that perhaps the greatest responsibility for the unbelievable expansion of the federal government should go to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal. While the popular Roosevelt was definitely an important accomplice in that development, the federal government began its astonishing express evolution long before Roosevelt's New Deal. And it is improbable that the federal government would be much smaller at the present if Roosevelt had never been president.
Why do we have big government? We want big government because we want good ole Uncle Sam to always be there for us. We want more jobs and opportunities. Who or what do we want to make jobs and opportunities available for us? We want the government to provide the circumstances for more jobs and economic opportunities. What community turns down a big government project that moves into the community?
The genesis of federal growth is in the Constitutional Convention. The first major event in the expansion of the federal government was the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1789. Prior to that, the United States was governed under the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution is often praised as a document that protects the rights of individuals and limits the powers of government. But a comparison of the Constitution with the Articles reveals that just the opposite is true. Under the Constitution the federal government gained more power, was less accountable, and had greater freedom to determine its own course.
However, the contemporary age of government growth started with the Progressive Era prior to World War 1. World War 1 was a time of tremendous federal extension, and the New deal is widely acclaimed as a time of economic revival. Contrary to prevalent conviction, though, that period of growth was geared rather to give government more power than to "put a chicken in every pot." Also contrary to common belief is that the ratio by which the federal government grew was bigger during Herbert Hoover's four years as president than during the first seven years of the New Deal. Roosevelt simply continued a long-standing trend.
To put all this in a Bible perspective, we have only to look at the story of Eve and the serpent in the Garden of Eden (maybe the serpent was a politician). Eve was surrounded in a lush garden with all that she could ever hope to need. However, she wasn't satisfied. She believed that there was something else she needed. She wanted to expand her benefits.
The tricky old serpent/politician knew Eve's desires and saw it as an opportunity to feather his den and expand his power over people. He showed her the beautiful tree in the middle of the garden and sold her on all the good things that it would do for her if she would just get on board his bandwagon and support his platform.
Well, well-enough was not good enough for Eve and she got on the New Deal bandwagon of change. You know the rest of the story.
Until we discover ways to do the things and provide for ourselves the services that we ask the government for, we will keep on depending on government and it will keep on growing.

Perhaps you have come from an old link? Alternatively please browse our best sellers below.
Waveboards have been built from the ground up in the UK through the schools. Started in Dorset UK, by a young guy passionate about the product and the sport, its quickly caught on and now many kids on holiday parts for flat land areas can be seen experiencing the feeling of "surfing on concrete".
Look out for the increase in range, with a number of mini and larger models now available so that young kids all the way up to full size adults can experience the fun of waveboarding.
Just to clarify as many people do ask. Ripstiks and Waveboards work in much the same way and are a very similar product, really the only difference is a brand and some slight technical features.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
River City snaring global customers
River City Sports might have lost some sales in East Kildonan since shutting down its former flagship store a couple of months ago but its retail general manager is confident they'll be made up from a much larger market -- the rest of the world.
The leading sports apparel retailer in Winnipeg has moved its sales group and a related company, Xtreme Sign and Graphics, into the 16,000-square-foot space on Henderson Highway where River City started out 23 years ago.
Zak Rubin said its four remaining stores in Winnipeg can more than handle the demand within the Perimeter Highway but its online division is really helping drive the business. Its stores in Regina and Saskatoon are also busy, as the two cities have an insatiable appetite for anything with a Saskatchewan Roughriders logo on it.
"The online side has really taken off lately. It's a big part of our business. We're getting orders for Jets and Bombers gear from Germany, Australia and Ireland. There are Bombers fans and Riders fans all over the world that want a taste of home," he said.
"We had one guy who called the store from Afghanistan. He didn't trust the Internet so he wanted to place his order over the phone."
Rubin said most of the traffic at the Henderson Highway store has been redirected to its Kildonan Place location. Traffic is brisk at its new flagship store near IKEA and he's optimistic its St. Vital outlet will reap the benefits of a renovation.
"We got rid of everything, including the bullpen system in the middle with cash and display cases, so we have more room on the sales floor for product and customers to walk around," he said.
The fact the Bombers and Riders are two of the strongest teams in the CFL this season has spurred interest in all kinds of apparel, he said.
"Everybody is jumping back on the Bombers' bandwagon," he said. "We sell a lot of Riders stuff in Manitoba, especially with the Banjo Bowl coming up in two weeks."
