I have been on vacation for a few weeks, staying in the woods, tracking deer, and doing alot of shooting. I do this every year to test loads in different calibers for all types of platforms, long guns and handguns. So far, the past couple of weeks I have blown thru almost 2000 primers and several pounds of powder and different bullets.
I also take this time to prepare for deer season, which is also a testing ground for various calibers and bullet types. This year, I hope to take one with the 45acp using the Hornady XTP, and start a thread with complete info and pics of bullet performance and damage to the internal organs.
The last few days has been the most interesting so far. Last night I put together some 30 06 loads for the Smith Corona. For those not familiar with this rifle, it was used From WW1 and was replaced by the Garand in WW2, but still saw service thru Korea and even limited use in Vietnam.
This particular rifle was given to me by a friend who was a Marine Capt, and has been retired for 30 years. The stock was sporterized before it became mine.
Using a handload of 47 grains of H380 under a Hornady 165 SP bullet, my goal was a relatively mild all purpose round to load up in bulk and have on hand for whatever was needed. I chose H380 because; #1, I had only a limited amount of IMR 4064 and 4831, and wanted to save it, and #2, I had never tried H380 and had a pound of it, so I thought it would be good knowledge to add to my library of load data.
I also loaded 5 rounds with the same powder and charge with a 150 weight Sierra FP made for a 30-30, just to see how it would perform.
Heres my grouping at 50 yards with the Hornady 165 SP loads.
The target is only a 1.5 inch dot, so with the very skinny front sight, I was happy with these results.
Moving back to the 100 yard distance, once again iI was satisfied with the results using only military iron sights, and using a powder bullet combo not known for the best 30 06 accuracy. I used a 3 inch target at 100 yards, but surely this rifle has potential left in it.
My target at 100 yards.
I thought this would be a good time to try the rounds loaded with the 30-30 bullets, and see how they shot in comparison to the 165 grain Hornady SSP bullets. The circled rounds show the impact of the 30-30 bullets. My POI change between the two was negligible.
Notice the difference in bullets used specifically for the 30-30 compared to standard rifle bullets such as the 165 grn SSP.
I seated them both to the same depth.
Extremely satisfied with the early results of this load testing, and concluding that this rifle has alot of potential, I decided to move on to another favorite rifle; the Marlin 1894P with 16 inch barrel and compact 4x Burris scope.
The load was a healthy dose of 2400 under a 240 grain XTP. After 3 shots, the test at 50 yards was over.
And so today was great! I learned a few new things to document and add to my library of load data, and had alot of fun with two of my favorite rifles.
Now days, you can buy fancier, higher tech guns, that hold more rounds, and are good shooters. But there is nothing more satisfying than to wrap your hands around a powerful, well made relic of the past, and take it out and shoot them, knowing they can still do the job they were designed for and then some!

RCASA started in 1986 as the Fredericksburg Area Rape Crisis Center – FARCC. It was started by four women who received a grant through HOTLINE to provide services to rape victims. They then split to form FARCC as a standalone agency. FARCC started with one employee, one intern and volunteers. In 1988, FARCC was restructured to become The Rappahannock Council Against Sexual Assault to serve sexual assault and the entire of planning district 16.

Back to the Future : An Introduction
Il y a trois cents ans, la stabilité était la règle
et le changement lexception;
aujourdhui, le changement est devenu la règle, et la stabilité
-- Anonyme[1]
With the ongoing proliferation of new and evolving networking technologies, scholarly communication is in a process of profound transformation what many are calling perhaps for dramatic effect in this last year of the millennium the "dawning of a new era." That which hardly seemed possible little more than ten years ago scholarly collaboration on the Internet, for rapid and timely exchanges of information among colleagues in different parts of the world is now commonplace reality. New methods of communication have given rise to new forms of publication. Electronic mail and web sites comprise everything from regional news and gossip, to tentative thoughts about research projects, to formal, peer-reviewed journals. In the realm of the Internet, all of these elements contribute, in one form or another, to the flow of scholarly communication, research and knowledge. Some of them might even be considered "serial" in nature. However, it is the latter scholarly electronic journals in the networked environment and in relation to libraries which are the focus of this paper.
Although e-journals are a relatively recent phenomenon, they are not new. For nearly ten years, libraries in North America have been addressing issues associated with providing access to a growing body of e-journal literature. In 1991, the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) published its first edition of the Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters and Academic Discussion Lists, which listed 110 titles. Ann Okerson, then Director of ARLs Office of Scholarly & Academic Publishing, predicted that in the next five years electronic journals would increase, causing "bibliographic confusion and chaos for utilities and libraries."[2] Her assessment was correct. In 1994, ARL published SPEC (Systems and Procedures Exchange Center) Kits 201 and 202 to report various ARL member libraries experiences with e-journals. During this same year, the ARL Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters and Academic Discussion Lists was in its 4th edition, listing 440 electronic serials a 350% growth rate since the first edition.[3]
The proliferation of e-journals continues to be phenomenal. The latest edition of Ulrichs International Periodicals Directory (37th ed. 1999) reports that, of the more than 157,000 serials listed, 10,332 are available exclusively online or in addition to a paper counterpart.[4]
The current market for e-journals and related services has exploded. As increasing numbers of print serials including many traditional core titles and a growing range of government documents "go electronic," some cease print publication altogether. Electronic journals are now widely recognized as a vital link in the scholarly communications chain. As a result, libraries are compelled to find the means to incorporate them into the resources they offer to support the research and curriculum needs of their communities of users.
Indeed, if we go back 300 years, the origins of the printed journal can be traced to two core titles that began publication in 1665: Le Journal des Sçavans (later published as Le Journal des Savants) and the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.[5] Both are still published today. As of this writing, I was unable to confirm an electronic version for Le Journal des Savants, however Philosophical Transactions is now available electronically.[6] Thus, we see a clear example of the venerable old model for the print journal reshaping itself in the electronic realm.
The University of Vermont Task Force on Electronic Journals
Given the phenomenal growth rate of electronic journals and their potential for furthering the research mission of the institution, the University of Vermont Libraries formed an Electronic Journals Task Force in February of 1998. The Task Force was charged with:
Overview of E-Journal Offerings: The Current Market
As the great French playwright, Pierre Corneille, wrote in the 17th century, "Le temps est un grand maître, il règle bien des choses."[8] The current market characterizes our choices. It offers an abundance of choice, much experimentation and few standards. The players include:
In the Publishers category, we are seeing more and more commercial ventures from well-known publishers such as Elsevier Science, Kluwer, Academic Press, and Springer-Verlag. Scholarly societies, such as SIAM (the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) and the Royal Society (publishers of Philosophical Transactions) are also making their publications available online. Project Muse, from Johns Hopkins University Press, and HighWire Press, from Stanford University, are noteworthy for their respective collections in the humanities and medical sciences, and for the close collaborative relationships they have with their university libraries.
Third Party Aggregators are services that provide access to numerous e-journals from a variety of publishers. They include JSTOR, a non-profit organization that offers extensive back files to more than 100 core academic journals, and OCLC Electronic Collections Online, which offers full-text access to more than 2,000 titles via their FirstSearch service. Other aggregators, such as Lexis-Nexis or Bell & Howell (formerly UMI), offer searchable indexes with links to full-text journal sources. Growing numbers of subscription agents are also working with publishers to provide aggregated services to packages of titles or to searchable full-text databases.
The third category, Noncommercial Web Sites, consists of collections of e-journals compiled by various groups and individuals. Several are dedicated to providing access to titles that are offered free of charge on the Internet. They include the CIC Electronic Journals Collection[9] and la Bibliothèque Virtuelle de Périodiques[10]. Others, notably libraries, provide general "E-Journal" listings, which include titles that are offered free of charge, as well as increasing numbers of fee-based titles. For these latter, licensing restrictions and passwords limit access to users within a particular community served by the administrators of the site.
The Task Force discussed and investigated choices from all of these options and decided to develop a pilot project based on four e-journal packages: HighWire Press, Project Muse, SIAM Journals Online, and Springer-Verlag Online Journals. Titles from JSTOR and MCB University Press were subsequently added. In total, over 300 titles have been chosen to date.
While our choices were made to comprise well-established titles, across a respectable range of subject areas, it is necessary to admit that economics and opportunity were also driving factors. Evidently, publishers are as interested as libraries in testing the market for their electronic publications. SIAM and MCB University Press offered their complete list of e-journal titles, without charge, on a trial basis for ongoing subscriptions to their print titles. Finally what we obtained was a means of enhanced access to our journal collections, including:
Ultimately, the Task Force chose to focus on e-journals as unique and distinct entities that could be treated as such in our public catalog and web databases. However, we also briefly explored the question of what to do about full-text e-journals that are linked to citation sources in aggregator databases. The Libraries subscribe to several such services including Lexis-Nexis (Academic Universe), Repère Fulltext, and others. We discussed possibilities for alerting users to full-text journals in these sources and concluded that, since title content fluctuates regularly, and often without notice, providing records for titles and linking them to the aggregator database would be a difficult task to undertake and maintain in-house. We inquired about availability of MARC records from vendors but, as of this writing, none are providing this service.
At the national level, CONSER and the Program for Cooperative Cataloging have recently formed a Task Group on Journals in Aggregator Databases. They are examining ways in which libraries and vendors might work together to develop "a useful, cost-effective and timely means for providing records to identify full-text electronic journals acquired in aggregator databases."[11] Test initiatives are underway[12] and may provide useful solutions for libraries looking for a systematic means of access to full-text journals contained in aggregator databases.
Access Issues: Catalogs & Web Sites
While e-journal choices were being considered, the Task Force also explored models for providing access to the titles we would be acquiring. We reviewed web sites, catalogs and reports at Vanderbilt University[13], Harvard University[14], the University at Buffalo[15], the University of Pennsylvania[16] and the Research Library at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)[17]. Finally, we arrived at two choices: access from the catalog or the web. What are some advantages and disadvantages of each method?
The Task Force also determined that individual titles should be cataloged in the central Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC). The Libraries had recently implemented a web version of its NOTIS online catalog and were also in the process of preparing for migration to a new system, the Voyager online catalog. Inclusion of an 856 field, with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) to the publishers Internet address in the bibliographic record would thus produce an active link from the catalog record to the full-text journal in either the NOTIS or Voyager version of our OPAC.
Cataloging guidelines were developed based on the CONSER Cataloging Manual, Module 31, Remote Access Computer File Serials.[19] We chose to use a "single record" approach. That is, rather than creating a separate bibliographic record for the e-journal, we updated existing records for print journals, when we had them, to note the existence of an electronic version and to give the URL for accessing it. To do this we simply added:
In instances where the Libraries did not have print versions of the e-journal, we downloaded OCLC records for the electronic version. Our next dilemma became the question of what "location" to assign the journals. Rather than establishing a "virtual" location for "electronic resources" or an equivalent term in our catalog, we chose to refer users to the location for the Bailey/Howe Periodicals Department. In place of shelving information or a call number, we input the phrase "Electronic Journal." (See Appendix C-3 for example of OPAC display) The Periodicals Department provides staffing and workstations to aid users successfully access journals in both print and electronic formats.
E-Journal Use & User Reactions
Early in its deliberations, the Task Force identified three areas to investigate through a study of library users:
This preliminary survey showed that user reactions to e-journals varied significantly. All were able to access records for the titles through the OPAC or through Sage. While most found the prospect of full-text access from the computer desktop to be exciting and full of promise, experiences in being able to access full-text sources varied. Some users did not have adequate computing capabilities to retrieve the full-text source from their desktops. For example, some users did not have Adobe Acrobat software and could not retrieve journals available in PDF format. Others reported slow response time (perhaps attributable to Internet traffic or to slower processing units on their workstations). One user reported that the publishers server failed while she was viewing a title. Comments about navigational capabilities, view screens and ability for output varied across all the publishers packages, as well as for individual e-journals. While many users liked the range of navigational features for searching and retrieving text, others found them to be confusing, limited, or not well-defined, often lacking adequate help screens. Others noted differences in presentation, format and "added value" among different publishers; that there is lack of a common look or interface. While there was a general sense of interest and enthusiasm, most all respondents conveyed that much of what they saw and experienced was very inconsistent.
In December 1998, Task Force members issued a press release in the campus media to publicize the Libraries acquisition of electronic journals. Library staff have begun to initiate, broader educational training opportunities through training, workshops and bibliographic instruction, to teach faculty and students how to access and navigate e-journals that are available to them across various disciplines. Ongoing dialogue and interaction between librarians and faculty is planned so that feedback can be solicited about e-journal use in relation to curriculum and research needs on campus.
The Systems Department has
been able to track e-journal usage from Sage with statistical software
that logs the number times each link is accessed or "hit" by users. The
following statistics were logged for the fall quarter (September though
December) of 1998:
Project Muse Journal list | 134 hits |
SIAM Journals Online list | 34 hits |
Springer-Verlag Online Journals list | 74 hits |
HighWire Press list | 61 hits |
Electronic Journal Holdings
(alphabetical list) |
86 hits |
Index to Selected Electronic Resources (e-journals, et al.) | 2,003 hits |
Project Muse provides a more detailed statistical analysis of UVM user activity for their e-journals for the first quarter of 1999 (January through March). These statistics indicate a healthy level of use and interest for this particular service in showing an average number of twelve requests per day and a total of 1,063 overall requests for articles, images, table of contents, and other information (see Appendix E)
Outstanding Issues & Looking Ahead to the Future
J'ai beaucoup mieux
à faire que de minquiéter de l'avenir: J'ai à le
-- Félix-Antoine Savard[21]
This paper has attempted to overview the current climate, the current market, and various issues and concerns that we are facing in developing the necessary tools and skills to evaluate e-journals in relation to the research and curriculum needs of our faculty and students. Theres a wealth of other issues such as licensing considerations, pricing models, consortial arrangements that this paper does not address. New technologies are evolving at an incredibly swift pace; the market is changing almost daily and there are several movements in place that can shape any number of possible outcomes. As this millennium draws to a close, librarians are positioning themselves as active players in helping to shape and determine the future. Some examples of important initiatives taking place today include:
And so the future unfolds. We will continue to look around and to use our wits, our resources, and the new tools that are available to reap the benefits of what the world of information and the future hold in store and have to offer.
This paper has been made possible with the collaboration and support of numerous colleagues. Special thanks to colleagues at the University of Vermont: Nancy Crane, Trina Magi, William Dunlop, Lyman Ross, Mara Saule, and Elizabeth Dow -- and also to Ann Ercelawn at Vanderbilt University -- for help and advice in gathering information and perspectives. Thanks, also, to colleagues at NASIG (the North American Serials Interest Group) who have provided me with contacts, support and resources to turn to over the years as well as an appreciation for the many intricacies and challenges in working with serials and understanding their role in the scholarly information chain. Special thanks to Martin Gordon at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and to the NASIG Continuing Education Committee for their encouragement and willingness to support this research as part of NASIGs continuing educational outreach effort.

It's not quite Black Friday pricing, but it's still a $15 saving on the best small tablet you can buy. Plus: two bonus deals!
Amazon is offering some impressive deals on its in-house Kindle readers, Fire tablets and Fire phones during the Thanksgiving and Black Friday weekend.
What!?! This big tablet originally sold for over $500. And it comes with 32GB of storage, not just 16GB.
So many deals, I couldn't pick just one. For starters, a whopping 100-song jukebox collection for $2.59.
Kindle name is dropped from Amazon's family of tablets to strengthen ties to the rest of its burgeoning hardware line.
Amazon's new slate of 2014 Kindle Fire tablets starts with a $99 6-inch model and tops out with an 8.9-incher that the company bills as its most powerful model to date.
There are several different Kindle Fire tablets now available. We help make sense of them all here.
Amazon has unveiled its all-new Kindle Fire line, with a full range of new tablets starting from the 6-inch $99 Kindle Fire 6 model to the $379 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX 8.9.
The e-commerce company's first attempt at a smartphone bombed, but it's probably not giving up. If Amazon learns from its mistakes, the next phone will be cheaper and more widely available.
For the same price as the Wi-Fi-only model, you can enjoy 4G service from AT&T or Verizon. Plus: two bonus deals!

How the City Council's Appointment Process works
- Application. Interested Scottsdale residents apply to be considered using a standard application (pdf/841kb/5pp). When there is a vacancy, all applications on file for that board or commission are forwarded to the City Council.
- Nominations. At a City Council meeting, the Council reviews applications submitted for the board and commission openings under consideration. From this applicant pool, Council will select nominees for further consideration. Due to the number of applicants, only the nominees are contacted.
- Interviews. Those nominated by the City Council are invited to participate in a brief interview with the Council. Each nominee is asked to respond briefly to a few questions by the City Council.
- Name, address, and how long you have lived in Scottsdale.
- Why you want to serve on the board, commission, or committee.
- How your experiences (education/professional/volunteer) qualify you to serve on the board/commission for which you have applied.
- What you think is the top issue facing the board or commission, and what your approach would be to address the issue.
- City Council members may also ask you a few clarifying questions.
- Appointments. Immediately following each set of interviews, the Council makes formal appointments. Those appointed will receive a follow up letter with results and additional information. For those that are not selected, applications will remain active for future vacancies, for one year from the application date.
All appointees need to comply with the City's Code of Ethical Behavior. All first-term appointees need to plan on attending an Ethics Training and Orientation session within 90 days of appointment.
For more information on the board and commission application, nomination, interview and appointment process, please contact Kevin McKee at the Mayor's Office 480-312-7977.

Must everything be drawn a certain way only?
Please if anything written here sounds like an "attack" or even remotely "agressive", I swear it was not meant to be percieved that way.
This a friendly journal about a not so "friendly" subject.
When you enter the comic book world as an artist, and start working on any of the titles of heavy notoriety such as Batman, wonder woman, Aquaman, Catwoman, Batgirl etc. You get noticed for both good reasons and bad ones.
Comic pros are human too and they also F--K UP. Some more than others, yes but EVERYONE does it.
But why does something that has been made and used forever, just happens to start pissing people people off?
After DC released Guillem Marchs September 0 cover: (See below)
Eveyone (and I mean EVERYONE even comic book Artists) started expressing their dissaproval of the cover due to its "Unrealistic proportions, position and sexism-sexualizing"... really people?
So youre saying its unrealistic for someone to bend like that, but its perfectly realistic shes capable of taking down 20 armed-grown men with nothing but a whip and her bare hands? able to leap from rooftops and buildings and land perfectly fine while wearing heels-bootsbarefoot? Dodging bullets with agility?
Or that some guy dressed in red and blue tights, has tingling senses, super strenght and can crawl on walls of all angles?.
What about the Amazon princess with Super model looks and powers beyong imagination, who comes from a hidden Island protected by the Gods.. that okay?
And is Selina Kyles sexually confident Nature and portrayal honestly more "sexist" than lets say a warrior that battles in sun-snow-water areas, whose body is only covered by a bikini-armor? Or someone who fights crime wearing nothing but a red swimsuit and boots? How about someone whose "magical" suit only covers her nipples and crotch?
Look Im not saying people shouldnt exteriorize their thoughts and opinions over any given subject, but there is a line between doing that, and being an A-hole-bashing hater.
I love his work and regularly check his blog to see the updates, but when I read the comments given by people who were "Insulted" and offended, It made me wonder.. do these people have no memory at all? did they just start living of being aware of their surroundings? "OMG that soo sexist!! I feel raped by just looking at it" .. ... (People who by the way, "Curiously" commented ANONYMOUSLY, Hmmm.).
Several Comic book artists expressed their "thoughts" on the cover aswell:
One of them is former Catwoman artist Cameron Stewart (whose work I adore).
I ADMIT I actually laughed at some of the drawings on the link.. the Boob-ass slob with a cat mask was hilarious but really harsh.. Camerons depiction was also very funny but kinda mean, as he also drew Selina taking showers and undressing multiple times during brubakers run.
So again I ask.. is it really that bad? and if it is.. is it THAT wrong to take liberties on proportions, positions and such? Must everything and everyone be drawn a certain way only?
If thats the case, then im in some Deep S--T.., Because I like to bend spines (or simply ignore them) on drawings.
Thanx for reading if you did, hope you had a laugh at the drawings
I sure did.

From C3Shooter: Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
How are the barrels choked. Full is generally considered the first indicator that No Steel is recommended. If they are choked modified, maybe.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball
why can't you shoot steel through full chokes? In most chokes the pattern is registered for lead, but when you shoot steel shot through it the pattern will actually be slightly looser. a choke that shoots lead in a modified size pattern will shoot steel in an improved cylinder pattern...so steel through full should be modified....
My full choke actually says "No Steel".

Bayer's new North American Bee Care Center is the second established by the company to promote bee health. In 2012, its global Bayer Bee Care Center was established at the joint headquarters campus of Bayer CropScience and Bayer Animal Health in Monheim, Germany.
The Bayer Bee Care Center, a more than 6,600 square feet building in Research Triangle Park, will be fully staffed, including an office space for graduate students. Not only will the Center be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certified, providing pollinator-friendly gardens, but it will also produce a surplus of energy. As a LEED-certified building, the Center will continue Bayer's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint to help improve agricultural management and foster environmental stewardship. The net zero building will generate more energy each year than consumed through its geothermal heating and cooling, LED lighting and solar water heating.
For more than 25 years, Bayer has been actively involved in finding solutions to improve honey bee health, and the two new Centers confirm how its commitment furthers collaboration and understa

Yes, there is a doctrine, and therefore a family of truths, that is as Gospel based as can be but has fallen off the preaching and teaching landscape in our churches today. That truth is the filling of the Holy Spirit! Surely someone receiving this message will say, "Well, I just preached on it", or "I teach that regularly". Good, but you are the exception. I occasionally hear this truth expressed in prayer but rarely expounded in the pulpits.
Now, I don't mean to convey we only need a sermon on this here and there. Much more than that, this whole group of Gospel truths – dying to self and being risen with Christ – must be applied to our lives and woven into the very fabric of our messages. This is sanctification by the Spirit. More later on why this is vital.
In this writing I am not attempting to expound this great teaching. Yet for clarity's sake, I am speaking of He, the Holy Spirit, being in control of the believer's life. That same dominating, possessing, inherent control that Jesus walked in, we must have also. This is not emotion; it is empowerment. It is not a feeling but a filling! In Eph. 5:18, "be filled" is in the imperative, meaning a command. More so, it is a present tense, indicating a consistent experience. Interestingly, it is in the passive voice, meaning we are acted upon – we cannot do this! Does this mean we are commanded to do something we cannot do? Precisely! This is the same pattern theologically as "you must be born again", and we know we cannot save ourselves. God is the initiator, and we are the respondents. In Acts 4:8, Peter is "filled with the Holy Spirit". Again, it is in the passive voice but here in an aorist tense, telling us that at this particular point in time this filling was done to him. Yes, God's Spirit just landed on him, a special touch for a specific task. So whether it is us seeking this powerful filling or God sending it for special times, WE NEED HIS FILLING POWER and are meant to serve Him with it! While this is obviously mystical, it is also objective since the Word of God is our guide for life in the Spirit (Col 3:16).
WHERE ARE WE? In the 70's and 80's, every itinerant evangelist I knew and all solid Bible-centered pastors preached on the filling of the Spirit. Some of this came in seeking to clear up some neo-pentecostal confusion, but thankfully it went way beyond that. Conferences abounded, tapes were heard and shared, and churches were alive and hungry to hear more. There was a genuine move of God in Baptist and Evangelical churches by the dear Holy Spirit teaching us how He works in and through us to empower us, exalting Jesus as we show and share the Gospel.
This teaching went by many names such as "the abundant life", "the exchanged life", "the deeper life" (the name of my seminary course), "the saving life of Christ", "life in Christ" and more. It was often said, "Whatever you call it, get it!"
Today there is hardly a peep. I recently met a godly man who has a sound background in this area who told me that in eleven years in area churches he has not heard one sermon on this area of sanctification. This may be isolated, but I believe it is representative. I will not take time to expound all the reasons for the dearth of these truths; but let it be noted: the teaching has faded, and so have we!
1 Kings 14:26-28 tells about how Rehoboam replaced the gold shields Solomon made (which were stolen by Egypt) with bronze shields. These shields were used to honor the king. What does it take to make bronze look like gold? A lot of elbow grease, i.e. a lot of effort of the flesh. It was still a substitute. I'm afraid we have substituted the fleshly effort of the bronze shields of Church Growth techniques and tools from the Leadership movement for Holy Spirit power. My late father was a highly-skilled professional craftsman, and I inherited nearly all his tools. I may sharpen them and polish them and attempt to use them, but I still do not possess the skill and power with which he worked. We keep polishing our tools rather than seeking from God "gold refined in the fire" (Rev 3:18).
As I conclude this portion, I will add one thing that relates to a wider subject: Nothing will affect our prayer life like the seeking of the fullness of the Holy Spirit through His Word!

Bernstein Research analyst Carlos Kirjner said Monday that Facebook Inc. is likely to beat Wall Street's revenue expectations over the next 12 to 24 months. He expects Facebook to hit $6.98 billion in revenue in 2013, some 9 percent higher than the average analyst's expectation. In 2011, the social network reported revenue of $3.71 billion. Kirjner upgraded Facebook's stock to "Outperform" from "Market Perform," saying that mobile advertising will drive revenue growth. Facebook's stock is up $1.85, or 7.7 percent, at $25.84.

Huddersfield V Reading at John Smith's Stadium : Match Preview
Huddersfield V Reading - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Paterson back in Terriers frame
Huddersfield striker Martin Paterson could return to the squad for the home game against Reading.
Paterson, restricted to 13 appearances this season, has missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury, but is edging closer to a return and could be included.
Manager Mark Robins has no new injury or suspension issues following last week's defeat at Ipswich, but will still be without skipper Peter Clarke, who could be out for another two months as he recovers from medial knee ligament damage.
Winger Danny Ward recently sustained a dead-leg, but should be available after playing for 60 minutes at Ipswich. Town have won three of their previous four league matches.
Reading will be without Danny Guthrie through suspension as well as a host of injured players.
Guthrie was booked for the fifth time this season during last weekend's 2-1 defeat by Bournemouth and serves a one-match ban.
Fellow midfielder Chris Baird has a sprained ankle and defenders Wayne Bridge and Sean Morrison are likely to be out until the new year with knee injuries.
Jem Karacan (cruciate), Mikele Leigertwood (ankle) and Jason Roberts (hip) are recovering from long-term injuries but winger Royston Drenthe (foot) made his first appearance since September as a sub against the Cherries so he should be involved again.

(9) Michigan State 41
(17-5, 6-3 Big Ten)
Illinois 42
(16-6, 5-4 Big Ten)
Coverage: ESPN/WatchESPN
7:00 PM ET, January 31, 2012
State Farm Center, Champaign, Illinois
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- In a game in which neither team made even one third of its shots, it seemed right the deciding free throws would be followed by a few more misses.
Brandon Paul made two foul shots that gave Illinois the lead with 45 seconds to play, then missed the front end of two 1-and-1s in the Illini's 42-41 win over Michigan State (No. 10 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) on Tuesday night.The shooting -- 32.6 percent for Illinois and 24.1 percent for Michigan State -- was so bad that players suggested the ball may have had too much air in it."Someone brought it up to the refs, I think one of the coaches," Paul said. "I'm not trying to make excuses. I missed those free throws, I shouldn't be missing those shots."The win ended a three-game losing streak for the Illini (16-6, 5-4 Big Ten), a run that left coach Bruce Weber resorting to prayer."When the shots go up, I just say, 'Please, God, let it go in,' " Weber said. "Some of the shots just sat in there and then popped out."The loss cost the Spartans (17-5, 6-3) a chance to move into first place in the Big Ten with No. 3 Ohio State.Spartans forward Draymond Green spent much of the game on the bench with foul trouble, then was helped from the court with what appeared to be an injury to his left knee with just under 4 minutes to play. He didn't return.Spartans coach Tom Izzo wasn't sure how serious the injury was but wasn't happy how Green or the rest of his team played under pressure Tuesday."I didn't think we handled adversity very well at all," Izzo said. "My two best players had their worst games."After the game, Green tweeted an update on the injury."I serve The Awesome God knee will be fine Michigan in Sunday... Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers they are greatly appreciated," Green tweeted.Green finished with five points and eight rebounds in 16 minutes. Keith Appling, the other half of the two Izzo singled out, had four points and four rebounds to go with five turnovers.Paul led Illinois with 18 points.He scored 13 of Illinois' 20 second-half points, but was 6 of 17 from the field. He was 5 of 9 from the free throw line and the Illini finished 9 of 17.After burying those two late free throws, his misses on the 1-and-1s that followed gave the Spartans -- with Green on the end of the bench wincing in pain -- a chance to steal the game with 11 seconds to play.But down 42-40, Michigan State's Derrick Nix missed the first of his two free throws. Appling then missed a driving shot with 2 seconds left, the final chance for the Spartans."He had a rough night," Izzo said of Appling. "When Draymond went out, he tried to take the game over. It's a shame because we had our chance and we didn't get it done."Green hit a key layup in a 9-0 run that gave the Spartans a shot. They were up 36-35 with 5:01 to play. But just over a minute later he was being helped form the court.With 2:09 left and Michigan State up 40-37, Illinois freshman Tracy Abrams hit a 3-pointer to tie the game.After losing three games straight by a combined 11 points, Illinois badly needed to hold on against Michigan State, Abrams said."It shows toughness. Coach always says, 'When things aren't going right, how do you respond as a team?' " Abrams said. "We stuck together."Branden Dawson had 12 points for the Spartans.While their shooting was awful, the Spartans pulled down 49 rebounds, 23 on the offensive end.In the first half, the Spartans had more rebounds (22) than points, and trailed 22-20 at halftime.Green spent the last 10:56 of the first half on the bench with three fouls, the last a technical when he complained about a foul call.The technical cost Green a sharp chewing-out by Izzo as he took his place on the bench.The game was physical, with Izzo complaining to the referees at one point, "They're killing us down here.""This was WWE wrestling," Weber said.Paul often matched up against Green, and relished seeing the big forward pile up fouls."He's obviously a great player and he does everything for them," Paul said. "I got a couple fouls on him early, and with him we probably should have capitalized on it more."Given Michigan State's rough first half, it was hard to figure why Illinois headed to the locker room with a narrow two-point lead.The Illini were 9 of 25 from the field after 20 minutes and 3 of 7 from the free throw line.The biggest shots for Illinois in the first half were arguably two putbacks by freshman Myke Henry.The first, off a miss by D.J. Richardson, put Illinois up 18-16 with 5:43 left. The second came with 34 seconds left, off another miss by Richardson, and gave the Illini their halftime lead.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Schueler attended Sunrise Mountain High School in Peoria, AZ , In his junior year of high school he and his brother founded Jagged Extreme LLC. In the humble confines of their home garage where they began customizing everything from golf carts to Jeeps and ATVs.
Both brothers had a keen set of mechanical skills and lot of imagination. With their passion along with the rapidly expanding off road vehicle market they were able to grow this business into one of the most well known off road fabrication shop in Arizona.
In 2007, along with the introduction of the revolutionary Polaris RZR, Jagged X became an aftermarket development partner for Polaris and launched a whole new world of offroad . This also sparked the birth of the factory backed Jagged X Racing team. Schueler has taken the lead role on the racing side of things and is the key to the teams racing success.
Schueler is the lead driver of the 1919 BITD (Best In the desert) race car. The 1919 has transformed through four generations of RZR, starting out as a two seat 50" RZR 800 into the 100+ horsepower RZR XP 4 of today. Schueler's role, however, goes much deeper than racing a RZR in the desert. The Jagged X racing efforts help feed the engineering and product development teams information that help improve Polaris vehicles across the board.
When Schueler is not racing or building the coolest race cars, he enjoys snowboarding, Shooting, Fishing and camping in his beautiful home state of Arizona.
-Unprecedented five BITD pro championships
-More BITD finishes than any other UTV racer

Cody Rahders, currently 19, started racing both Motocross and BMX at the age of five competing in the highly competitive race circuits of Southern California and even raced at the KTM Challenge at the 2003 San Diego Supercross. After a string of injuries, Rahders stepped away from racing MX to concentrate on recovery and baseball.
In 2007, at the age of 12, Rahders decided he wanted to start racing again. His mother said, "Ride all you want but race in a cage." And with this, Rahders moved into UTV racing competing in events such as the Lake Elsinore GP and Soboba GP. His results were good enough where at the age of 13, he moved into short course off road racing full time competing in series such a M4SX, Monster Jam and any one off event he could find.
2009 was his break out year where at M4SX Rahders won Rounds 1 thru 7 of the Armature series clinching the title Armature early and turned Pro for Round 8.
2010 and 2011 Rahders converted his UTV to SR1 spec (R1 street bike powered UTV) and went to the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series where he had several wins and placed well both years.
In 2012, Rahders competed in three different series capturing titles in two of them, the 2012 WORCS Production 700 champion and the Lucas Oil Regional Series SuperLite Champion, and placed 6th overall in LOORRS.
2008-M4SX-Superstock. 5th overall. One podium in eight races.
2009-M4SX-Amature Modified Champion. Seven podiums including seven wins in eight races, turned pro at round eight.
2010-LOORRS-SR1-5th overall. Six podiums including one win in fifteen races.
2011-LOORRS-SR1. 4th overall. Six podiums including three wins in fifteen races.
2012-WORCS-2012. Production 700 Class Champion. Six podiums in eight races including three wins.
LOORRS SuperLite Champion. Three podiums including two wins in five races.
LOORRS SuperLite, 6th overall. Five podiums including two wins in sixteen races.
Mark Holz, from Lynden, Washington is no stRANGERto winning with Polaris. Mark started out building parts for the championship winning Factory Polaris Hillclimb and SnoCross teams and with the appearance of the Polaris RZR focused his efforts on building race-proven parts for the booming side x side industry
Along the way he has built cars for some of the top names in the industry including the Lucas Oil Off-Road championship winning unlimited RZRs of RJ Anderson, Matt Parks' 2011 Best In The Desert Championship winning RZR-4 and Scott Kiger's Coastal Drilling GNCC race team
Holz and his company Holz Racing Products is unique in the UTV racing world, not only does he build championship winning cars that compete in all the major series' (WORCS, GNCC, BITD, Lucas, Dakar) he's an accomplished driver capable of going out and mixing it up in any of those series
"I got my start racing sprint cars, where car setup was critical. I've always strived to build the strongest, lightest, most simple race vehicles we can build." said Mark Holz.
Holz says it's great to work with a vehicle that is so versatile. What they learn in one series is applied to the next build for other series'. Each has their own unique needs and being exposed to all the different race formats allows us to build great cars.

-2012 Best in the Desert Class #1900 Pro UTV Champion (Scott Kiger)
Scott Kiger, a Waynesburg, Pennsylvania native started racing ATVs in 1990. In his early 20's Kiger had a passion for racing and it was on ATVs at that time. After competing in the GNCC for some time, Kiger decided to focus on his career more so than racing. Due to the timing, GNCC racing was still relatively new in its development stages, so there wasn't enough factory support to take it serious and make a solid career from racing. "I had to do something to get my career started, so I just gave up racing and put my head down and went to work hard for 20 years," Kiger said. Now he is the President of SDI (Shaft Drillers International).
A couple of years ago GNCC racing started the four classes for the UTV vehicles to compete in the series. After achieving remarkable success in the shaft drilling business, Kiger decided it was time to get back to the track where he enjoyed being around the great people involved in racing. He got his competitive spirit and helmet off the shelf and went out to have some fun.
Kiger is very active and helpful not only in his business but in the community as well. He runs with Yokley Racing in GNCC and with Coastal Racing in Best in the Desert. Kiger still resides in Waynesburg, PA as a small town boy who loves to go out and thrash it up on the track!

Yokley grew up in Tompkinsville, Kentucky and still lives there. He started riding at the age of nine and gained experience riding multiple brands and sizes over the years. During his childhood, he enjoyed and respected all types of riding and racing, but focused mostly on motocross.
At the age of fifteen, Yokley started running in GNCC events, and started desert racing at the age of eighteen in the Baja 1000. With a twenty-four year career under his belt, pro class for the last fourteen years, he made the decision to retire from full time racing in the XC1 Pro Class at the end of the 2009 season. This year, he's am racing in the GNCC UTV Series, as well as focusing more on managing and building the Yokley Racing Team.
He's been called a Pro Quad racing icon with the most tremendous fans of any Pro Rider. He's been fortunate to be featured often in the media; ATV magazine publications, broadcast coverage of GNCC events, appearances on Moto World, The Outdoor Channel, GNCC TV, Versus, ATV Television, ESPN2 and ABC, along with various websites and magazines. Yokley has been featured on GNCC TV within select sponsors "Feature Product of the Week" segments, on GNCCcast.com giving video race recaps, and frequent articles and interviews on ATVriders.com.
An area of my career he's really excited about is his work with sponsors on product development. They are some of the most important companies serving the ATV and UTV industry. He helps sponsors as a performance tester of their products for both racing and recreational uses. Because racing has been a lifelong passion, Yokley's experience gives him a unique insight about how a part or product performs under different terrain and weather conditions. This intuition allows him to give feedback to a manufacturer that is invaluable to engineering adjustments with extraordinary results in performance and safety.

Matt Parks grew up in Riverside California and raced motocross in the very competitive southern California racing scene. Parks is a Powersports industry veteran and despite being very close to the business side of UTVs, he continues to be an avid racing enthusiast.
Early on Parks saw the potential for recreation UTVs and he is credited with building the very first race RANGER. He raced his RANGER in 2006 and 2007 and earned several top positions, despite his RANGER being mostly stock and built off of a utility platform. The highlight of his early UTV racing was being the first UTV to finish and win a SCORE Baja event, the 2007 SCORE Tecate Baja 250.
Parks took a couple of years off of UTV racing in 2008 and 2009 to race full size buggies in Best In the Desert and SCORE. In 2010, he jumped back into Pro UTV racing and he had the idea to build a RZR 4 into a two seat race RZR. Despite his racing efforts being self-funded, he won his very first race in new RZR 4 in late 2010 and went on to win five of the next eight races. Parks earned the 2011 Best In The Desert Pro UTV Championship and also was the BITD UTV 'Grand Champion.' In 2012, Parks switched to the factory Polaris/Jagged X team. While he was always a contender in 2012 and lead nearly every race at one point, small problems knocked him back. In the end, he won two of the six Best In The Desert races in 2012 , got second at the 553 mile long Vegas to Reno. Ultimately, he got third place in the championship just seven points out of first. In 2013 Parks won the SCORE Pro UTV championship and for 2014 he will try to defend his SCORE championship as the series expands to six events with races both in Baja Mexico and in the US.
Parks lives in Newport Beach California, with his wife and two sons.

Piplic grew up in Lynnwood, Washington and resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. He started riding dirt bikes and ATVs when he was 10 years old with his uncles. He mostly trail rode and went to the Oregon dunes religiously growing up with his family.
Piplic never did any racing until he moved to Phoenix to attend MMI. His first race was when he was 19 years old, at a local MX track, at the faiRGRounds. He started with MX and arena cross racing, Piplic got into WORCS Racing in 2004 after he moved back to Washington. He moved up the ranks to become a pro quad racer in 2005 and primarily focused on WORCS. He continues to race multiple disciplines and still enjoys racing his dirt bike when he can at endurocross events, MX and WORCS races.
After multiple years of racing ATVs, he had a chance to try racing UTVs. After his first ride, the next week he decided to retire from ATV racing. Piplic started racing a Polaris RZR XP 900 mid-year at WORCS and realized he had found the best form of racing he had ever experienced.
Piplic has been fortunate to be part of off-road racing for the majority of his career and couldn't be happier than racing UTVs. He started out racing his first season mid-year 2011 and worked his way up to 5th in points by the end of the year.

Jon Crowley has been immersed in the UTV industry since 2006 when he started UTVGuide.net. Crowley is more of an enthusiast than a racer, but has raced the King of the Hammers UTV race each year since its inception. In 2013, Crowley teamed up with Jagged X in a 2013 RZR XP 900 and brought home a second place in a race that was so tough only three competitors finished after nearly 8 hours of racing. In 2012, Crowley brought home a third-place finish in his 2011 RZR XP 900 in the Production 1000 class after starting 25th off the line.
For 2014, Crowley has built an all-new car based on a 2014 RZR XP 1000, but things will changed a little. Crowley has again teamed with Jagged X and Blake Van de Loo for this year's race, but the team will switch seats for the race. Van de Loo will drive and Crowley will co-dog. The team is building two race-ready XP 1000s to ensure they are ready for race day. This year's race includes qualifying for start position the day before the main race. Qualifying for start position is so important and the qualifying course is expected to be incredibly tough, so the team isn't leaving anything to chance.
Crowley's build is a play car and a race car. He focused on the flexibility of the RZR XP 1000 and built the car so that he could race one day, and hit the trail or dune the next. Keep an eye out for Crowley's reviews of all the new Polaris side-by-sides in addition to a few special buildups.

Johnny Angal hails from Gilbert Arizona. He was transplanted to Arizona as a young man from California. Having the wide open Arizona desert and mountain's surrounding him, he and his friends wore out plenty of dirt bikes, 3-wheelers and ATVs.
After putting in his time and building a few different businesses, Angal headed out to the Glamis sand dunes for his vacation getaways. Needing a backup ride for the sand dunes, he purchased a Polaris RANGER. As things progressed, the next ground-breaking UTV on the market was the Polaris RZR and Angal started yet another Business selling UTV Performance parts.
Angal has put tens of thousands of miles on his personal RZRs over the years; even going on one ride that lasted 23 days and 4800 miles across the United States; started thinking about desert racing while building a race RZR for a customer. Then, while attending the race, just to see what it was like, decided he was in.
Racing his first race in May, 2014 he quickly pulled behind the race leader. Even after three flat tires and a seventh place finish, he was hooked and his rookie season had started! His second race was a fourth Place finish at the Score International Baja 500 and at the end of his sixth race, his team were the Official 2014 Baja 1000 Class 1900 1st place winners.
Getting ready to start the 2015 race season Angal says, "When he is not racing he is thinking about racing."
Marc Burnett is an organizer and promoter as well as a racer. Burnett started racing motocross at the tender age of five where he accomplished multiple wins. He is a well experience off-road racer, with 25 years of experience racing Baja. He rode for Factory Kawasaki, Honda and Suzuki. Burnett then moved onto racing Class 6 trucks where again he accomplished first place in the 2008 San Felipe 250 and first place in 2011 at the Baja 500. He's also won the SCORE Milestone Award twice. Most recently, Burnett has made a huge impact in the UTV Pro-Class 19. Burnett started 2014 strong winning first place in the San Felipe 250. He came in second in the Best in the Desert Mint 400, Second in the Imperial Valley 250, First in the Baja 500, and last but not, least he won the 2014 SCORE Championship. More impressively, Burnett is the first person to "Iron Man" the Baja 1000 in a UTV in his class. Burnett is looking forward to 2015 race season and working with his new sponsor Polaris
Branden Sims is addicted to off road racing and everything in between from wake boarding at the lake in the summer to hitting the slopes on his board in the winter. Off-road racing has been his passion from the early age of 6 where he raced a quad in the "Whiplash Racing" organization. Throughout the years, Sims dabbled in a few other racing disciplines including BMX and downhill mountain biking. He returned back to his off-road roots when he was presented the opportunity to race a pro quad in the 2006 Baja 1000 point-to-point race. In his first attempt at the race, he finished the 1047 mile race in sixth place in the Pro class. After that race, Sims decided it was time to get off the quad and venture into the Utv scene. He purchased a Rhino and started the build at his shop. He raced in two different racing organizations in 2009 including the Whiplash racing series and the Grinding Stone series. Sims won the championship in both series in the Pro Utv class. In 2010, he built an SR1 to race LOORRS.
At the end of 2013, Sims decided that he wanted to take his racing to the next level and purchased a 2014 RZR XP 1000 that he built to race at the pro level at King of the Hammers, Best in The Desert and SCORE.

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, but I'm starting to get involved in IDPA Shooting and was looking to see what you would suggest for a quick exit holster for my Glock 19 ? I say quick exit meaning something that doesn't have a safety strap or locking device as time is obviously ticking at these matches.
thank you.
